But most of them suck, and they suck even more when you configured them badly (badly in terms of you used an option which comes by default). However with the bigger vxlan adoption most performance issues are fixed, still, could have some improvmenents. I also think that IPv6 could fix a lot of these things...

Totally disagree. The article is hard to read because the author is lazy, it has nothing to do with "Twitter's display rules." The author could have quoted the tweets or asked permission to reprint them in another format or used them as the source for original reporting instead of posting them verbatim. It's the difference between embedding the PDF of a legal ruling vs writing an article about what it means.

Typical users aren't programmers. For them there isn't a difference. GPL or BSD usually mean for the user to get Software for free.

Where free licences really matter is for developers. The question is wether they have to give back their work that is based on other software.

A really important point in this discussion is the question if something is still the same thing when you change it.
In my opinion this isn't true for software. The orignal will still be preserved and still be free.

Here is the source:
http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/05/elon-musk-the-worlds-raddest-m...

And here is the actual paragraph:

"One topic I disagreed with him on is the nature of consciousness. I think of consciousness as a smooth spectrum. To me, what we experience as consciousness is just what it feels like to be human-level intelligent. We’re smarter, and “more conscious” than an ape, who is more conscious than a chicken, etc. And an alien much smarter than us would be to us as we are to an ape (or an ant) in every way. We talked about this, and Musk seemed convinced that human-level consciousness is a black-and-white thing—that it’s like a switch that flips on at some point in the evolutionary process and that no other animals share. He doesn’t buy the “ants : humans :: humans : [a much smarter extra-terrestrial]” thing, believing that humans are weak computers and that something smarter than humans would just be a stronger computer, not something so beyond us we couldn’t even fathom its existence."
Yeah, they are shitty companies trying to drive prices down.

Bogging down the local police dispatch isn't a responsible way to voice your opinion.

Imagine: you're a local and you're trying to call the police. But, you can't, because the number is busy. Or you wait forever on hold, because people on the internet are angry about a reckless driving incident that happened weeks ago and that the police already know about.

OP called the police, that's enough. They know about it now. If you want to express your opinion, write the editor of Wired or, if you're really angry, the local district attorney.
I agree with many of the responses here, that Math. Analysis (epsilon-delta proofs, continuity, etc.) is not strictly necessary for statistics. But...it certainly will help.

The dependency would look like:

stats <- measure-theoretic prob. <- math. analysis

The problem with dumping the measure-theoretic probability is that you won't really know what a random variable is. It has a definition (a measurable function into the reals), and without that, you will have a tendency to think of it as "a box that produces something random when you look into it". This will limit your ability to understand papers, and will make you insecure in talking to people.

Besides "random variable", other common notions will also be hard to understand without measure-theoretic probability, like "almost surely", convergence concepts, the difference between the SLLN and WLLN, etc.

The problem with dumping analysis is that you will not know some basic things like what a continuous function is. What is everywhere continuous? What is a C1 function? And again, you will have a hard time reading and speaking.

For what it's worth, I found analysis to be not that fun, but measure-theoretic probability to be really a fun, tight, theory. It was enjoyable to learn.
I expect they have subsets of the suites working as "fast tests". The full sqlite test suite is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than sqlite itself and takes hours on beefy machines, but they're not run "online" by developers. Developers generally run the "veryquick" suite which takes a few minutes (and is sufficient to catch the vast majority of issues)
As I indicate in the very next paragraph.

Your sentiment is strange to me - I've only ever seen unit tests as absolutely worthless. The reason integration tests are flaky is exactly the same reason they are valuable.

> People in Europe know how to live their lives in balance between play and work. Americans were never conditioned to live this way in public schools or by their parents.

Do you have some personal experience with this? I keep hearing this and I'm very curious as to why it is the case. I'm in grad school and even I have noticed that my European colleagues tend to be more laid back.
Don't get me wrong, it's a massively comprehensive piece of work. I'm jealous of the author's chops - they know more about this than I do. But after all this time writing applications small and large, doing isomorphic JS dev feels like a massive step back.
FTC investigation into Apple heats up
> They responded with a patch, but the researchers didn't like their response.

It was my understanding that the patch was released in response to the live highway test, not the prior tests in controlled environments.

> They could have let the "test dummy" in on what was going to happen, so they could give feedback as to when it was safe to do so.

The article makes it sound like they did.

> They could have ensured constant two-way communication.

Indeed they could've. I agree with you about the recklessness of this particular element of the test.

> They could have done it when nobody was on the road.

Perhaps, and I agree that maybe they should've coordinated with local authorities (if they didn't already). However, between "do the test with vehicles on the road" and "don't do the test at all", I'd certainly pick the former.

Not to mention that the urgency involved with other vehicles on the road factors into the effectiveness of the demonstration.
It is a criminal offence to operate any flying device in a controlled airspace in Europe without prior authorization from the appropriate air space control (EASA regulations). It does not really matter whether it is a Cessna, a paraglide, a Chinese lantern, or a UAV drone. I bet a similar law is in effect in the US.

The responsible guy will probably avoid jail, but will surely be convicted.

> Is there anyone hassle free solution to deal with wifi signal overlapping problem?

Nope. I joke with a friend of mine that does desktop IT (to the extent it still exists :/) that you can find the CTO at any startup because it's the guy walking around with a laptop obviously troubleshooting wifi problems.

Everyone who can should wire in, so that everyone who can't has some available bandwidth. Intel have apparently been working on tech for some time that would allow mac addresses to hop wifi / wired, but I don't expect that to be viable in the near future.

In other news, the frequency with which I have worked in an office that has 50mbit comcast business - the same link I have at home - for upwards of a hundred people is nontrivial.
Marginal cost of fuel per passenger is quite small compared to the cost of flying the plane itself.
Um, I didn't say any of that at all. Here are my words:

"If the GPL software in question didn't exist you'd be in the same situation."

"So you're complaining that there's lovely software but bad corporate policies are a problem for your company. That's not a problem for the GPLed software."

I seriously do not understand how you got that from what I wrote.
Your intentions were unclear. When I read your post it sounded like you were arguing that the GPL was to protect developers, not users. The edge case where user = developer isn't an immediately obvious one so it bears clarification.

You might at first expect that its best to write articles on the general topic of books. While there is some benefit to that my experience is that its best to diversify your topics.

The public's interest in the topic of the day varies widely. For example just before Thanksgiving Americans search the web for "turkey stuffing recipe". I expect Canadians do so as well but in early October.

In inlink from a book-related site will be the most relevant, but some other topic may produce more inlinks.
MaidSafe Development Activity Stream
Absolutely the right thing to do. I don't care how technically gifted these people are. They are morons who deserve whatever legal consequences this might bring on.

This isn't about security researchers. There's a HUGE GAP between security research and setting up a situation that could kill someone's daughter, son, mom or dad. That incredibly stupid at the least and criminal at worst.

There are levels of this in tech all over. I don't know if it is about social isolation or something else. Things ranging from the kinds of privacy decisions made by people coding social networks to the totalitarian and inhumane approach seen in dealing with various large web players. It's almost like you are dealing with a non-human race (the Borg?) that is almost completely devoid of human feelings, emotion, consideration, respect, a sense of community and simply making decisions that are humane rather than cold and mechanistic.

The other one is morons flying multicopters above people, neighborhoods and around firefighting aircraft. How does a human being go there mentally? I don't know.

I applaud your actions.

What's worst is that it is likely this was not the first time they did this.
We would run those tests a couple times a week, and the memory tests idealy on every successful build (we chained the builds so we never bothered to run the DB tests if the unit tests had already failed).

Strictly speaking it's also possible to get subtle differences in behavior across OSes. Especially if you have a race condition you don't know about yet. I always tend to encourage more diversity (carefully spent).
My team is using Red Gate
It is true that bad actors ruin it for everyone, and that's why it does not make sense to interact with cops if you have any way of avoiding them. You have no way of knowing which ones are the bad actors until it's too late to do anything about it, and you have no recourse once they have decided to mess with you. Furthermore, they have effectively unlimited resources when it comes to making your life difficult.

You seem to think that because the police are theoretically under democratic oversight, that one can safely interact with cops as though the nominal rules of engagement will restrict them, but even if - in the long run - it is possible to rein them in, the law enforcement system we actually have right now is unpredictable, unjust, and unsafe.
Why was this designed such that the failure of A SINGLE XXX would be catastrophic?

There are plenty of things in a rocket that can fail that would take the entire vehicle with it. Structural mechanics is pretty well understood and loads are well predictable, so it seems perfectly reasonable to me to design with the assumption that a part with a 10x safety factor will not fail.

If you didn't, your rocket would never get to orbit anyway.

Security: the Auth0 security team ensures that the architecture underlying Auth0 is secure.
Huh, it works fine for me on Android Chrome (Nexus 5) and on PC (Dell Inspiron/Windows 8.1/Chrome).
There can be times when it is okay to test on uninformed humans.

For example, I have relatives who do fire safety. How people do (or don't!) evacuate from buildings when fire alarms go off is a big area of research.

The ideal way to test this is to set off the fire alarm in a building where people do not know it is happening, along with some smoke and pyrotechnics.

HOWEVER, there are ethical concerns, and a review board would ask questions like:

1. Has anyone else done this study before? If not, why not? How sure are you that no one has done it before?

2. What does the previous research with similar protocols say? What key question are we trying to answer?

3. What is the harm that will be present to people? Are we doing everything we can do to reduce that harm?

4. What more could we do to reduce harm but that might impact the reliability of the research?

5. Quantify how much of a benefit this research would be so we can compare to the risk you are presenting.

6. Demonstrate that you have done all the preliminary work that is necessary to achieve good results, so that we can make sure that the research is used. It would be foolish to put humans at risk and then be unable to use the research because we forgot something we could have taken care of upfront.

These researchers would bomb most of these questions.

The reason for an INDEPENDENT review board is that researchers tend to follow this flow chart:

Have idea. ----> Wait, should I do this? ----> Yes, of course!
Facebook Surveils East Oakland with Biometric Cameras
Here's an update on my BWAVE situation with Facebook. I just learned that a company is called BWAVE already, so I think I'm going change the name. Basically Facebook is using Biometric Cameras to surveil homes in my area within a 50 mile radius in each direction near my home. They are in the apartments at 9300 Walnut St, Oakland CA 94603. This is illegal surveillance, so I think everyone should look into this. Facebook owns the building. So a quick pull of public records will reveal that fact.

Now here's the part where things get into the realm of the fantastic. My Biology is psychic. I am the only confirmed Biological Psychic. This is easy to prove all anyone needs to do is buy a Biometric Camera, point it at me, and my biology reacts to it. I communicate psychically with the surveillance team. All of our interactions are recorded on more that 40,000 transcripts and a litany of feedback loops dating back to when I purchased my home 8 years ago.

I want to push forward human existence by giving everyone telepathy through BWAVE. I call my psychic connection to their system the wave. It follows me everywhere. All of my thoughts have been recorded for the past 8 years. I hear them constantly until this day; they refuse to shut it off.

It has lead to me being institutionalized (My medical records will show that I thought it was a mind control device.) They tried to have me institutionalized again with the DEA incident. I am mentally tortured while I sleep through the use of feedback loops. They have hacked into my accounts. Lead to my brief stint of being homeless and have done a litany of illegal activities.

For the sake of brevity. Since Facebook does not want to look into this matter, I am contacting the State Prosecutor today. Believe me my friends telepathy is real. Psychic ability is real. And I'm going to give it to you. I just thought you should know.
I think the level of exposure comes into play here. I'm not sure there's enough people that will make that call from the crowd here to cause an actual problem, but if it's an emergency response number better to not risk it, so I do agree with your reasoning to a point. Perhaps directing people to call a number that is not expected to handle emergency requests would have been more appropriate (and I see OP has amended his comment to remove the number).
No, it doesn't say that. You are oversimplifying in order obfuscate and ignore what the article is actually saying.

This is a very common sophistry tactic. You are lowering the level of discourse on HN by not attempting to fully understand what is being said.
First off, all we know is that it was a question "Do you know what could happen?", not some scary "discussion". Such a chilling question to ask someone, so intimidate, very trigger.

It's good to know that my employer can never question anything I do legally without being hostile, though.
It might be interesting to perform this same experiment with a Coin Card. It would be cool to see the patterns shift as it remagnetizes its bars.
Wall Street Reform: 10 Years Ago Today
I was in Belgrade in 1999 about five days before the US started bombing the place. The people there were very friendly to me, even when they knew I was an American. The border guards sure scrutinized me and my passport (I had a transit visa), but they didn't give me any trouble other than that.

One of my more memorable experiences was visiting Tito's mausoleum. It was very quiet and I was the only person there. I got the impression that nobody was interested in visiting Tito anymore. The elderly security guard there was very happy to seem me and he talked to me in rudimentary German, the only language we had in common. As a gift he gave me some book discussing some Yugoslavian communist party conference back in the 60s with an English translation. Nice guy.

I was traveling from Sarajevo (a sad city at the time) on a bus through the Serbian part of Bosnia, and I was a little nervous about that. There were no problems though. Our bus did break down in a snowstorm and we were stuck there next to the road for about six hours, so I had plenty of time to talk to the other passengers (all Serbian as far as I could tell). They were either friendly or didn't pay attention to me, probably because most didn't speak any language I knew.

A couple in front of me on that bus were telling me that they heard that the Americans were about to bomb Belgrade at any moment. There was no animosity toward me personally, though: they were friendly people. I thought that was nonsense because the news had been talking about that for months and nothing seemed to be coming out of it. It turned out that in the few weeks I'd been traveling that things had gotten much more serious. I might have reconsidered traveling through Serbia if I knew things had gotten that serious. I saw a newspaper in Greek a few days after I left the country showing Belgrade and pictures of stealth bombers. I knew then that the people I was talking to had been right.

I haven't been to that region since that time, but I'd love to go again. I have lots of memories of friendly people.
Because scale. One is very limited in scope, ie: On one day, in one city, on one road, for a few minutes, one car caused a few other vehicles to make otherwise unnecessary lane-changes. vs the vulnerabilities exposed which affect tens or hundreds of thousands of vehicles in every city, every day, on almost every road, at almost any time.

Agreed, the researchers deserve some criticism, but let's not lose sight of the forest for these two goofball trees.
Do you use Dart for your whole website? How about page load times for the homepage? Or do you use Dart for pages / things that won't appear until the user knows what everything is about and is interested already, and won't mind ... 200 extra ms to download the Dart runtime?

Or is it an internal in-company application?

Do you happen to know how many kb JS code gets downloaded to a browser that doesn't support Dart natively?

(Unless this is too classified :-) )

Yes weird things happens sometimes with JS... a little bit more often with JS than with TS I think because TS is more restrictive.
