New Ultrasound Tech Turns Screens into Malleable Surfaces
A curiosity: do you guys that need so little sleep perform a lot of creative activities? I feel when I don't have anything too creative (or extremely intelectually demanding) to perform I can go sleep deprived and do fine at everything, but I lose the ability to solve one of those problems you have to think for hours, or come up with good ideas.

If I'm in the process of learning something complex, I get the distinct feeling of absorbing "fully" the content when I sleep well; whereas if I don't sleep well it doesn't seem fully "processed" yet.

So my optimal sleep schedule varies by what kind of work I want to do. Do you just perform nominally at everything sleeping 4 hours?
> Cigarettes kill people. That's it.

That's not it. Cigarettes also bring a large amount of pleasure to people. If you think that doesn't matter, replace it with candy bars, or any food that isn't part of the healthiest possible diet.

Short positions themselves provide a signal as to whether market participants believe the price to be too high. Giving the opportunity to short thus keeps downward pressure on prices.

If you had read further into the article (past the first two lines) you would have realised these latency issues are caused by hardware limitations rather than software. You can definitely bring latency down a decent amount in software, but as you approach 0ms the problems becomes exponentially more difficult. That's why this article is about Microsoft's pile of hardware prototypes, and how they're working on getting closer to 1ms in a table-like form factor.

The iPhone 5 just for context had a 55ms touch delay. The iPhone 6 actually increased that to 65ms (i.e. it got worse). Very few smartphones break the 50ms barrier (like one total from what I can tell).

That's what Microsoft are working on.
CVS is actually a health insurer, or at least a component of one:

Hmm - quick research shows that laser communications have been demonstrated at up to around 1Gb/s; given the roundtrip time to a retroreflector on the moon, you could have around a 300MB buffer in flight at a time. Average latency to read or change a particular byte would be about 1.2 seconds, so not ideal for high performance applications. Also, wouldn't work when the moon was below the horizon. Plus installing additional retroreflectors on the moon to increase capacity would be quite expensive.
The CVS in my neighborhood sells 24oz cans of 8.1% ABV malt liquor for $1.36/can. Have to wonder how those sales fit into their mission to improve public health.
What do you mean with that Docker does not provide the kernel itself? I did not mean Docker and OpenVZ are similar technology, they are exactly the same technology, just different toolset. You can only run Docker on linux (boot2docker simply runs a Linux VM), you use the kernel of the host os.

I'm not convinced that's enough to make a significant dent in business, especially if you balance it out with those who will be attracted by the idea that their clothes will not smell like smoke.
Cigarettes don't merely bring pleasure, they also bring physical addiction. High fructose corn syrup is also another problem.

I generally think everyone should be allowed to do whatever they want to themselves, as long as they're not being influenced by others in a way they can't control or are not fully aware of, which is what advertising and marketing generally is.

When you add in underlying physiological effects like chemical addiction to nicotine and sugar (and an ignorance of), this is clearly a case where individuals freedom and security is being infringed upon.

When the day comes that we can structure our society such that might does not make right, I'll agree with you, we should relax our laws and encourage more a more libertarian outlook. Until then, centers of power and capital need to be constrained by our legal system to protect the vulnerable.
For those who aren't aware, it's worth it to keep in mind that the US Chamber of Commerce is not a federal or government entity, and is rather a cleverly named US business lobbying group with deep ties to the Republican party which as been involved in very shady practices over the years. So it tends to be one of those places where big companies push legislation that runs out the small to medium sized businesses with redtape complexity to maintain market dominance.

Of course that doesn't stop the majority of Republican congresscritters from touting it as the best thing for "deregulation" since sliced bread...

Mistaken premise here in my opinion:

Think about typing the character ‘a’ on a keyboard. Fast, right? Just the one keystroke. “It is fast,” Bathiche says, “if you make some certain assumptions. That the position of the letter ‘a’ is where you intended it to be, the font is the way you intended it to be, the size of the ‘a’ is what you intended it to be.” All those decisions are made before you hit the key, and you often don’t have a choice. “But with ink, you can dictate all those things, almost simultaneously as you’re writing. I can put my ‘a’ here, or here, and I can make it as big as I want, as hard as I want.”

I can type wayyy faster than I can write with a pen.

So... yeah

I have to counter your detractor(s). Your message is calm, to the point, and thought provoking in an almost disconnected way. If anything I would have a hard time with the measure of professionalism you speak of the situation with. In other words, if anyone is to say you are too callous, let ME clarify: you are not callous enough.

If anyone is stupid enough to get involved with such crimes as their selfish money-making empire, I will disrespect them and their choices for good reason. Leave kids out of it, or disrespect should be the mildest form of punishment to be endured, socially or formally. Try to bargain or reason with someone you care about making bad decisions, I'm all about trying to help friend or family, right up until they gamble with someone else's life.

TelegraphCQ was commercialized as Truviso, bought out by CISCO a few years ago.

Sure, but the health effects are smoking are well documented and significantly worse than eating candy bars, or even most other poor diet habits that people have. In addition, cigarettes negatively impact the health of non-smokers that have the misfortune of having sustained contact with a smoker (for example, children) due to not only second-hand smoke but also the toxins that cling to clothing and other surfaces.

It would be different if smoking only affected the smoker, but as it affects the wider population (such as higher overall health care premiums), it deserves stricter controls.

If you don't care about font and style, yes. But if the "markup" is high relative to the character count, pens win.

This is also a pronounced issue in information graphics -- the off-the-shelf stuff in Excel etc is quite limited; you can do a custom visual a lot better, easier, with a custom drawing, what is impossible or ungainly in a "smart" diagramming program.
New Humble Bundle Geared Towards Game Making

Do you believe people are instinctually good, or bad? They are neither. All of us are exactly what we have been taught to be. From the moment we are born, we learn from other peoples actions. Everything that you understand has either been taught to you, or is a conclusion you’ve developed.
I will use illustrations and examples through-out this publication to help you understand the facts, and concepts we are discussing. The prince that was switched at birth was one, here is another.
Have you ever smelled coffee brewing? How did you know you were smelling coffee? The only way you could have known how coffee smells, is someone presented you coffee and you smelled it. You then drew your own conclusion of what coffee smells like.
Have you ever visited a coffee plantation, or a coffee processing plant? Coffee has several different smells. It smells one way growing, another while it is being processed, and yet another when it is being brewed to drink. So, you probably have only been exposed to one of the smells of coffee.
If you ask a person if they know what coffee smells like, they will most likely say yes. The fact is, they probably only recognize aroma of coffee, The actual fragrance of the coffee will vary greatly depending on whom you ask. If you ask the farmer, the worker at the coffee plant, or the consumer, all of them may have a different conclusion of what coffee smells like. They are all correct in their conclusion of what coffee smells like, even though all of their conclusions are different.
This is the concept that we will build the free human society upon. We can all be right even though we have varying opinions of what right is. As long as I respect your right to freedom and a peaceful life, and you do the same, we have just solved the problems of human violence. All that we have to do is convince everyone to agree to the same set of general standards for society, and then enjoy their lives.
We can create a society in which everyone has the opportunity to have a free and peaceful life no matter where they were born. Your children and grandchildren deserve this. Your grandchildren’s children and beyond haven’t done anything to deserve the society that we are poised to leave them. I will explain how these things are possible, please, just keep reading.
Not every child can be born of royalty, but that doesn’t mean great things can’t be expected from every child. In The Free Human Society, every child will be born with a plan for guaranteed success. This will be discussed later as a main topic in this publication.
Every living person deserves the opportunity for peace, and personal success. The Universal Constitution will guarantee equal freedom for everyone. Everyone will have the best medical care, education, and business career opportunities available to society. All of the Free Human Society will agree to live a life of honesty, and with-out violence. We will then create a society in which it is very easy to find peace and prosperity, if you live by some simple rules; don’t lie, don’t steal, don’t cheat. How hard can this be?
The Fifty Steps to Startup Success
It could be that their communities have different philosophies about containers, but this is not a technical difference. I think Docker added support for live migration recently too (the Doom demo on that recent Docker con right?)

They are built around the same set of kernel features and as far as I can see offer exactly the same abstractions.

For example Phusion Baseimage is a Docker baseimage that's similar to an OpenVZ container in the sense that it emulates a full running Ubuntu environment. It has is uses but the Docker community rather sees containers that encapsulate a single application with no external processes.

You have not considered another factor. The non-smokers who will stop going to an establishment when their smoking friends go somewhere else. Drinking is often a social activity.

Non-smokers who drink already have established places where they go. Those places will have done nothing to alienate them and cause them to change their habits. They'll keep going where they have been going because for them, nothing will have changed.

Bars and restaurants don't always operate with huge margins. If 15% of their customers decided to go elsewhere overnight, I have no doubt that it would cause serious problems.

Oberon. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Once upon a time there was a great crossroad in the early 90's (when I was a kid and learning programming - keep in mind that perspective).

BASIC was on its way out - we all knew it to some extent due to home computers renaissance, but it was evident it didn't have any staying power. So there were all these wonderful machines with different architectures, OS' and programming languages out there, with no clear winner (it depended on what you wanted to do). So, basically there were two camps in the end, regarding programming languages. Pascal and C. Pascal had that notion that it was, too, on its way out, but was really useful and Oberon was around the corner so it was worth the wait to stick with it. On the other hand C++ was entering the arena full force, because machines were getting faster (it had a stigma of being slow). I went with C, because I was getting into SGI/IRIX and CG (and later on abandoned programming as a full time choice), and some of my friends went with Pascal. Oberon was floating in the air for some years, but nothing happened. This was always a mystery to me. Eventually, Pascal guys moved to Delphi and my circle of C guys either stayed with C (like I did) or bought OO Kool-Aid and went with C++ (of which some later on went to Java). Pascal (later on Delphi) guys developed sort of a cult. It never was clear what happened to Oberon, and (to me) to this day it's a mystery. Funny enough, I can now retrospectively see that programming languages we chose (and stuck with) was heavily influenced by machines/OS' we used. Pascal guys were mostly PC or Atari guys, and C were mostly those with access to *NIX and Amigas.

His thought here resonates with me though, particularly when I'm taking the kind of notes that involve diagrams, I find that using the space I'm given exactly how I want it, whether to draw boxes with big symbols, simple graphs or sketches, is a lot quicker on paper with a pen or pencil than on a computer using a keyboard. I'm a pretty fast typer and a writer so I'll admit that there is probably some person whose speed difference is so large that this really isn't helpful, but mostly what takes up time if I want to type like a write is using the mouse to select my font size and type, click the button that tells the word processor I want to draw boxes or arrows and then drawing those boxes and arrows.

Also importantly, he admits there are many cases where you really just need a keyboard (writing a long paper, composing a tweet or comment) but I think he's right that there's also many where you really need a pen.
I wish there was a better alternative term for the web sense that I could promote, just to help un-hijack the word before it gets out of control. But I don't know of one that is likely to succeed. 'Responsive' makes sense to me but it already has another meaning in the web world. What about something like 'reactive' or 'on-the-fly'? People will never go for 'near real-time' because it sounds too weak in terms of its advertising value. Someone else below me suggested 'push', which is pretty decent but again it's an overloaded term... Thoughts or suggestions? :)
You're right that SNI is part of TLS rather than HTTP. It's the same trouble though. Most applications don't support TLS+SNI.

The way Tor does it is to use a SOCKS proxy. Then you don't need an IP address and it's protocol-agnostic but the client application has to support SOCKS.

I'm not sure address space limitations are even a major problem. Address assignments are local, not global, and there are millions of RFC1918 addresses.

For HTTP you have to solve it from the other side anyway. An HTTP server would be more likely to run out of addresses than a client would. But running out of IPv4 addresses is what IPv6 is for. We could even return both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses until the IPv4 addresses run out. Then if you want to burn through millions of peers you just have to support IPv6.

The occasional cigarette might bring pleasure to people. But typical cigarette smoking has the opposite effect.

A tobacco addiction works by screwing with your brain's ability to perceive pleasure. The result is that most cigarette smokers do not get pleasure added to their lives by tobacco. It's just that they need to keep smoking just to keep getting themselves back up to feeling normal.

> You absolutely can alter which of the rights that some people believe to be inalienable are protected by a government through amendments

Yes and no. The point of the "inalienable rights" was that they were given to people by God, and therefore nobody - not king or president, not parliament or congress - has the authority to take them away. They may have the power to declare that we don't have them, but they don't have the legitimate authority to do so.

But now we (as a society) no longer believe in God, and no longer believe that we are made in His image. When that changed, "inalienable rights" (in the original meaning) died - except for those who still believe in God as creator of humans.
The flip side of this is whether "rich people" outside of China already currently have vehicles available to get exposure to Chinese stocks. I hope the answer is "No" so that we don't all of a sudden hear that Morgan Stanley et al had exposure to the Chinese market using some exotic investment vehicle and we suddenly find out there is financial contagion outside of Chinese borders.
Wrapping Existing Libraries with RxJava
Given stupid hacks, like "Run echo or some other noop if you need to" to go from an image to a container, and 'docker commit' to go back from a container to an image, the distinction between a docker image and docker container seems a bit academic and a bit of poor UX rather than anything else.
What is the cost of maintaining sales of the product?
This type of simple I/O bound pass-through problem lends itself extremely well to evented I/O. Conceptually, their first solution was closest to mimicking the benefits of evented I/O, given how Go's runtime works. When a goroutine submits a blocking I/O request, it will yield to another goroutine and wake up later when it can work with the data. So what happened with their first solution?

Well, Go's runtime allocates 8KB (last I recall) of growable stack space per goroutine. Assuming that their first solution was deployed on the same instance type as their final solution: c4.large (3.75 GB), then they could handle at most ~470,000 outstanding gorountines; assuming that all RAM is used for only gorountines, which is not realistic of course. So their server fell over once it exhausted memory.

This type of memory exhaustion isn't a problem with evented I/O. You have a single thread that responds to async events related to the I/O you're performing.

So, due to the limitations of Go's runtime, they settled upon a worker-pool that allows at most MAX_WORKERS outstanding requests to S3. Not the most efficient solution for this problem. But it works for their use case, for now, and that's what truly matters.
