I've reading the book, The Road to Character, and there's a chapter on Frances Perkins, the first female secretary of labor and one of the architects of the New Deal.

She had a BA in Chemistry, not because she was good at it, but precisely because it wasn't a strength of hers. Her teachers had the opinion that if she "tough enough to major in her weakest subject, she'd be tough enough to weather whatever life threw at her". Considering her achievements later in life, I think there's some merit to those thoughts.
There is a great chapter on BGP by Hari Balakrishnan. I believe the chapter is available on MIT Open Courseware. It should be under the Computer Networks class.

Edit: found it. See Lecture 4: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...
I disagree. The slider makes me jump between sliding and reading the value below. Since it's purely qualitative - I don't see anything wrong with discrete values.
In the long the source being publicly available means the bug will be found.

> Much worse than proprietary niche

I disagree, but even if I didn't how can the average purchaser of software discern quality software from junk. If they had the source, they could pay an expert.

I agree a commitment to quality, and therefor security, is important. But I feel that if all other things are equal the open source software will always have an advantage over the closed sourced software.
Interesting. I just ordered a crate for my company.

>An incubator/accelerator that isn't as good as YC should have a better deal than that to make up for the difference

Only from the perspective of someone being recruited by both YC and the alternative. If YC isn't an option (as it isn't for most people), then it doesn't much matter whether or not YC is offering a better deal to someone else.
Actuarial work and accounting are both very accessible to mathematics majors; you really just need one extra course worth of content (that you can work through yourself) to be prepared for an entry level position in those fields.

I think given the discrimination of gay people in the world, it's very hard to make claims like "the rate of homo/bisexual individuals of their preferred gender is far lower than the rate of heterosexual individuals, giving them a slight handicap in finding a SO".

If discrimination of gay people is so rampant, how can we really know what the preferred bias really is?

The other major issue I have is with enough science, parents have a choice in stopping autism, however sexual orientation is not genetic, and therefore should never be the choice of a parent to attempt to "choose" their child's orientation.
Imo if you were as pedantic about the history you wouldn't be tampering with it.
Thanks, we'll get this addressed.
Haha, that's kind of ironic, someone downvoted you for this.
For me Actuarial work falls into "Quant" work, and accounting has nothing to do with maths.
Does it bother anyone else that there is no page element that displays this person's name (if you didn't happen to know it already)? I mean, I guess he's supposed to be a big shot and everything...

Oh, I see, if I scroll down far enough I see he's "Harper" and he's "pretty awesome". Terrific.

Maybe I just don't get Medium. (And get off my damn lawn.)
All things that exist are mathematical objects and programs. Algorithmic information theory asserts that my cup of coffee is actually a program.

While mathematics is important to computer programming, for most practical purposes it is of limited utility unless you are inventing new computer science. Knowing how to use a relational databases correctly requires no formal set theory. Understanding how to build a massively parallel relational databases requires understanding the topological equivalents of relational operators, which is much more mathematical, but very few programmers design or build parallel databases.
> The fact that if anything goes wrong they can call up a phone number and immediately have a consultant($200+/hr) show up at the corp's location and troubleshoot the problem is a lot of accountability they don't have to directly absorb.

My experience with [current] Oracle support and the ability to "call things in":
(via the sort-of-usable support portal)

My org has paid millions for software and support on the Oracle products we run, and have "dedicated" support team ... it's worthless.

Dumb, uninformed 1st/2nd tier "engineers" who do not understand the products they are supporting, or basic tenets of system and application administration (https, sql, oel mgmt, etc), let alone understanding how their products integrate, or how to debug issues with those integrations.

It takes days to get a real response to a P1 ticket, and even if we've supplied all of the logs and information needed for the case, the first response we get is always canned "please supply xxxx logs" -- if we have an info level ticket, responses can take weeks even with escalation.

Slush Ultrahack hackathon announced, biggest in Europe
Regarding the new Slush hackathons, check this out! If you want to know more how to become a partner, join as a hacker, investor or a coach, or just want to know more about this, shoot me an email at tom.laine@somehow.fi

PRESS RELEASE

Slush launches biggest hackathon in Europe!

Ultrahack 2015 is a massive hackathon, where an unprecedented number of coders will develop solutions for corporate, public, and NGO challenges. As a part of Slush Hacks, the finalists will be able to demonstrate their works to top-tier international investors on stage at Slush. Slush is one of the world ‘s leading events for startups, investors, and the media to connect.

Ultrahack 2015 is a joint innovation effort by a large number of corporates, industry associations, NGO's and public organizations. It will be held November 6-8th 2015.

Prior to the hackathon weekend, a virtual pre-game will be played which aims to improve the quality and relevance of competition submissions. The whole project is targeted to create new businesses and global reach for top software developers. Both company and student teams are welcome to the event.

”The vibrant startup culture and thriving knowledge-based economy are key elements for the success of Finland, and these kinds of events are needed to advance those issues.” says Ms. Anne Berner, the Minister of Transport and Communications of Finland and the Ultrahack Patronne.

The business impact of the Ultrahack results is expected to be high due to the main partners and other enabling organizations opening up many novel API's and data assets. The quality of the hacks is assured by a wide selection of leading coaches available with tech, business, design and context understanding related to the challenges.

The themes of the hackathon are related to health games, smart cities, traffic services, internet of things, next generation of ecommerce and global charity.

> That's why in MMA most guys get 20k to 500k.

Most MMA guys get a few hundred dollars for local/regional pro fights. UFC undercard fighters typically get a few thousand guaranteed (subtract out taxes and 3+ months of training expenses). Only at the very top of the sport do you see substantial purses. Professional MMA in the US is essentially a monopoly (UFC) with a huge population of aspiring fighters--it should be no surprise that payouts are kept just (barely) high enough to attract participants. The number of guys making real money at any given time probably don't number more than 100 or so. You'll see lots of semi-retired fighters doing ancillary things like opening gyms or traveling around doing fighting workshops/seminars.
This was the one thing I didn't understand. Why is using a global Symbol registry any better than just using string properties like usual?
It would be at least interesting if it was Ubuntu Touch instead of yet another generic android phone.
I think the MySQL strategy is something like this: Oracle knows MySQL is defective, so they promote it as THE open source database, in the hopes that serious customers will get frustrated and just buy a license for a real (Oracle) database.

Elsewhere on this thread, somebody posted a link to a DB use survey which showed PostgreSQL as the #4 DB, behind Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server. Can't let that leak out, though.
I bet backers who supported the project initially and expected it to be cross platform and not locked into some MS nonsense are pretty upset now.

Luckily there are other alternatives which don't try to force any exclusive requirements on their users.

I was only really referring to automatic type conversion for comparisons. That said, the example you gave sounds like the opposite, where you wanted it to do some auto-conversion and you're disappointed that it didn't? If I did 1 + "10" I don't think I'd want it to return 11!
Have you considered keeping all your code in one git repo? That allows you to know exactly how code dependencies fit together.

This approach is almost certainly not a robust, long-term solution, but it has served us well for a couple years, allowing us to evolve our APIs quickly without spending any of our early dev effort on internal versioning.

Whether it's appropriate for you comes down to your reason for using microservices in the first place.
since it's a full table leak it's likely an accident, if someone wanted to jack a specific network or ISP they'd only advertise those.
Wow. You are projecting us back to the mid-12th century, before we got hold of Algoritmi's famous book: Kitab Al-Jabr, i.e., Liber Algebrae. Before that it was only arithmetic and bits and bobs of Euclid's Elements (=Geometry). That was all they had.

So, basically, the continuous integration system that the docker team uses to do continuous integration, makes heavy use of docker.

This is not meant to sound terse, but that is not that interesting.

How about writing about how you setup this CI platform? You mention you use jenkins, and mention that jenkins runs using the official docker image for jenkins, but what about all your other hosts and configuration management? You mention consul, but don't go into much detail about it.

Surely there is a lot of moving parts here, I would be interested in knowing all the work and thought that went into setting it up.
A Realistic SEO TimeLine Understanding Is Best
As a Grand Rapids resident who knows quite well how to use a SDR, I'm going to choose a positive interpretation of this comment and assume you're referring to the phenomena of "West Michigan nice", where hacking a public system for lulz would be absolutely unconscionable.

That being said, I'm actually rather tempted to at least figure out what the air interface is. The article mentions a 1200 baud modem - does a standard UHF/VHF voice channel have enough bandwidth to run PSK/FSK V.22 or V.23? That'd be quite a hack.

A small note that you need gpg installed for this to work. If you have homebrew installed, this is as simple as:

It had an extra sudo in the line originally.
Then do a commit and then use rebase interactive (-i) and squash them together.
And sometimes their sites or systems go down because of their own issues.
Yeah, participation from any kind of passive teasers or pushed content is a lot lower than you'd think. If we launch a new project and post a teaser about it on our very homepage, it's a coup if we get a 10-15% click rate. Think that low clickage number is pretty standard across news sites, and well, sites in general.

Anyhow the part that's interesting with facebook is that there is no homepage on facebook. Everything's fairly temporal, so you only have a brief period of time to capture interest. On top of that, it's a hit/miss possibility that you'll start a chain reaction of interest, so I'm amazed when there's a 5:1 or 10:1 or 20:1 ratio of shares to pageviews. It means that facebook as a content platform is totally plausible, which I don't like.
LOL. Did you sign up here just to say that?
It's not half a percent annual growth but total growth between now and 2027, so something like 0.03% annual. And in fact, even that projection is considered too optimistic by some. (For instance, it assumes that more IP protection is good for the economy.) See http://www.cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/why-is-it-so-accept....
I found the article to be a bit hand wavy. Specifically the bit about one hour of work being worth $.01 but $.01 being worth $15,000 in todays dollars. These numbers were just plucked out of thin air for rhetoric.

However, the article's essential argument that efficiency will improve quality of life makes sense. As we automate difficult tasks, the products created by these tasks should have a reduced cost.

That's what the `--autostash` is for. It also has the advantage that the stash will be restored at the end of the rebase even if it hits problems and needs to be continued or aborted.
EU is much poorer than US due to its socialist policies and if you oppose this agreement you wish to rob others EU citizens of prosperity, you should re-examine your tyrannical stance.

I only skim read, but this looks very well put together. This is the kind of thing the people need to get behind and push!!!

One thing that appears to be missing though, and this seems to be a common oversight, is the pay model. Presently a patent costs thousands of dollars in fees -- excluding any lawyer costs it might entail. But you can pay thousands more to get expedited service. That's pure and blatant favoritism toward the wealthy and should be against the law. In addition patents have to be renewed every so often, i.e. pay more fees. That too should be against the law. This has to be addressed in addition to the quality issues.

My connection through a Sprint hotspot is only able to reach www.google.com and plus.google.com (but not news.google.com, reddit, hn, my own website on the other side of the city I'm in, or practically any other website I can think of.)

I got on with tech support this morning and they had no indication that anything was wrong regionally, had me do a factory reset on the device, and verified it was connecting to their network successfully.

So, maybe my issue is resolved, but Sprint is still having peering issues. That is the kind of behavior I would expect to see during an issue like this.

Of course I go into the store and they tell me there have been regional issues for the last two weeks and it's not my device (we can't help you), but everything works fine for me while I'm inside of the store and on the way back. Then 2 miles before back at the office, broken again, call again and phone support guy hasn't heard anything about this Malaysia Telekom debacle or any regional outages in my area. At this point I notice that I can still reach some sites, but most sites are down.

Not completely sure this is related, since I've been having issues since Wednesday afternoon (in fact that would seem to indicate it's unrelated). Also possible I have been having one issue that was fixed by the factory reset, so now I can freely experience the other issue that everyone else around the globe is apparently having today.

I am interested to know from The Expert as well, when Telekom Malaysia fixed their issue (it is actually fixed at the source now, right?) would there be some propagation delay or aftershocks, or should everything just return to normal relatively immediately.
Naked City covered "Lonely Woman". That was a really interesting take. Fred Frith on bass played the "Pretty Woman" bassline that is earwormed into all our brains.
That's what I do right now, leading to temporary commits like "Squash me" followed by the kinda awkward interactive rebase flow, which is the only instance where I use Vim, and awkwardly and with some resistance at that.
Also, a space added to this command:

$ docker -H <ip-of-virtual-machine>:2375 run -it --rm busybox

between the -H and the IP/port.
I don't see why they didn't just use an Object/dictionary. Shouldn't be slow to iterate and solves this exact use case.

> There are countries in the EU with lower standards of living that would never accept this

Hiding behind smaller countries is new, but I can understand the German public is running out of excuses to justify their egoism.

Thing is, all this could be solved tomorrow by introducing collective eurobonds (or similar debt-sharing facilities) and making the BCE a real central bank. But that would level the playing field a bit too much for German tastes.

> How can you expect money invested there to not mysteriously get lost on the way?

Their corrupt political class has been swept away. If you don't extend some credit to new recruits who had no responsibility whatsoever in the disaster, when will you ever do it?

> Unfortunately we cannot do the same with Greece, because the required solidarity is just not there yet

Where there is a will, there is a way. A certain fraulein said so herself a few days ago. If you want to do it, you do it. If you don't do it, it's because you don't want to, simple as.

> Otherwise the emerging far-right parties will take over.

Newsflash: the german chancellor (a law graduate) is a far-right dude. Jeroen Dijsselbloem (agricultural policy "expert") is well to the right of his Dutch Labour Party, and in fact it's costing them activists.

European economic policy is dominated by right-wing ideas right now. Are you saying we should expect even worse, coming from the North? It wouldn't be the first time.
