So based on the article, Autopilot is designed for GKE??? (https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes...)

I'm learning Kubernetes and is deploying my own test cluster on my ARM-based board at this very moment, and I already spend 3 days on K3s and have to give up due to a problem (https://github.com/k3s-io/k3s/issues/2509#issuecomment-78657...). I must say, this is way way harder than Docker Swarm.

Just want to know, will Google actually make Kubernetes a bit more friendlier for general non-GKE users?
I don't have Facebook and I'm generally skeptical of Apple's pro-privacy messaging. However, seeing this response from Facebook has gotten me very excited for this update. There must be more to it then Apple's generic 'Most Advanced Update Ever' marketing. I'm still skeptical of Apple's commitment to privacy, but I'm certainly happy to get this update. Apple should thank Facebook for the free marketing.
Because labor is a liability to most companies.
There is not an overabundance of quality content. Almost nobody pays a lot more for a "better cleaner". Popular art is not commodity . The problem here clearly is the lack of an easy way to pay .
That's actually something kind of funny to me. I've never worked in the game industry but I have done game jams in the past and I am very interested in making games as a hobby.

One of the biggest barriers to me is getting over my need to make code that I think is clean. And every time I try to read about best practices in game code I come across the same mentality: Who cares, write code quick and dirty, as long as it works it's fine.

And that's fine, it's just intimidating for me to write code like that. Too much perfectionism or something. Maybe too much "What if I do it wrong and introduce a bug so entangled in everything that I can't unravel it".

I wish there were even some bare minimum best practices suggestions for game code.
That would actually be the same amount of steps as the current situation.

I often leave re-stocking items till later and ultimately end up forgetting.
The i860's theoretical throughput was achievable only in very special cases in tight floating point kernels. Most code couldn't possibly perform as well, no matter how smart the compiler.

Intel's sane RISC was the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_i960​, somewhat by accident.
The problem with this is that many costs are inherently competitive. The pizza metaphor starts to break down here but I'll try to maintain it.

The problem is that share is a flow, not a fixed quantity to be divided up. Because of competition for resources, people are forced to use part of their share of those resources to compete for future resources. You've got to use part of your slice to ensure that you keep getting slices. When the pie increases but your share stays the same you need increase the amount of your share allocated towards ensuring future slices, meaning that the amount you actually get to eat diminishes.

> With hunger on the rise here in the United States—one in 10 of us is now turning to food stamps

That's a pretty silly way to state it. Food stamps are how we publicly address hunger in the US, so a statistic about their usage has little to do with the prevalence of unaddressed hunger.

Plus, who uses food stamps has more to do with who qualifies and who's willing to than who's going hungry.

> An analogy: most people take the default divorce law instead of writing a prenup, but those default rules are complicated, in many cases more complicated than what the parties would draft.

Of course, prenuptial agreements may be less complex than "default divorce law", but they don't actually reduce the potential complexity of a divorce, because then the complexity becomes the complexity of the prenuptial agreement, compounded by the complexity of the rules governing the validity of prenuptial agreements (outside of restrictions on particular terms), compounded by the complexity of the rules governing the permitted terms in prenuptial agreements and the conditions in which particular terms are enforceable, compounded by the complexity of the default divorce rules (which cover both the areas that cannot be modified by a prenuptial agreement, and any areas left uncovered if the prenuptial agreement, or particular terms, fail.)

So the prenup increases both the up-front and tail-end complexity.
Someone has to post the Slim version:

I spent the last few years using Arch for development. Meh. There’s a lot of over zealous Linux people that defend it rigorously, and while generally things do work pretty well, the devil is always in the details.

I just switched back to macOS, downgrading to an old dual core 2015 mbp which runs overall better than my T480 with 32GB of RAM.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanted to love it, and I believe in the project, but I’ll check back when there’s a DE that can actually scale its GUI properly and when Bluetooth and Spotify don't make my T480 quadcore processor lag.
The recent mobile version have the “make blocker walk again” feature they didn’t want.
Please leave the Kardashians out of this.
CUDA is proprietary and exclusive to Nvidia, so probably not! (Apple and Nvidia haven’t been cooperative for some time)
Your post was in response to "soldiers are not fools," so we are talking about the general population, not the legal minimum. Additionally, "NCOs and officers" are soldiers (or sailors, or airmen, or Marines) as well, so you cannot exclude them. Lastly, one cannot generally be an NCO without first being junior enlisted.
Although it doesn't seem like that(monetizing) was the intent of the article and instead a (brief)overview of different advantages, I agree. It would be nice to see some examples, case studies etc about that.

He did mention; "What’s interesting is that we don’t choose the division between free and paid (support, training, consulting, etc) - its the users who do that - based on how critical their applications are.", which seems to be the common way to monetize opensource/free products. It would have been nice if that was gone into a bit more.

Over all I did enjoy the article.

edit: nosh posted before this, disregard mine
I never said it was pretty, in fact I said quite explicitly that it wasn't as pretty as Ruby or Python, but it doesn't take good looks to work well. Java and C# are even more verbose than PHP but they can also do reflection just as well as Ruby and PHP can.

Brilliant.
Several introverted coworkers swear by theater acting classes (and/or improv nowadays).

Seems to have done wonders for a few of them.

I've always meant to take some, but never got around to doing it (you can guess I'm prone to procrastinate :P ).

I did do some Tango classes, and I think they helped (though I'm still clumsy).
> try and curry favor with Apple and get a front-of-iTunes promotional slot

This works in the favor of big name brands who probably have a open sales channel through iAds which makes it easier for them to get promoted. It sucks for indie app developers who have limited ways of getting noticed by the Apple editorial team.
There are already very lightweight frameworks like Sinatra in PHP - such as Slim : https://github.com/codeguy/Slim

How is the international remote scene? Does it exist in big (top paying?) companies in the US? To clarify, can people outside the US be hired to do remote work for US companies?
That's an amazing problem to have for most people.
Let's see how long this lasts. This used to be the pathos for many US manufacturers 30 years ago, but it did not last.
This is good advice if you want to make money or be popular, but - admittedly, this may be too foreign to the current startup / indie game climate to understand - he didn't really want either.

This is bad advice for Crawford in the same way it would be bad advice for a mathematician or physicist. On the other hand they do need to be right, productive, and persuasive, and he wasn't the first two, and hasn't been the third for many years.
This is definitely not correct. Many photographs are portraits.
It could also be a fast track to the financial freedom. Work for 10 years receiving an SF salary living in a low COL area, save agressively and invest in low-cost broad-market ETFs. One should be pretty well financially doing this.
Music theory is the theory behind music the same way grammar is the theory behind sentence construction in natural languages. It is descriptive - it is not necessarily searching from some universal "laws of nature" and nor is it axiomatic like math. It is just studying and describing the structure of music. Some parts of theory seem to be universal, some are genre specific.

Music notation is used for communication among musicians and is optimized for clarity in expressing real-world music. Real world music is based around scales (except for 12-tone music which is a really obscure niche), so notation is based around scales. (Although different genres may use different notations, like chord notation instead of notes.)

The underlying relationships of wavelength ratios is interesting part of theory but you don't really need to know about that to play music. But you do need to know about notes and scales, so this is what the notation is based on.
Where would this AI live? Presumably it would use a botnet as it's substrate, I cannot think any other place to slip into. What would it do? Presumably it would survive only if it did not crash or totally corrupt the existing machines so their owners would manage to use their computers just as before. Like other bot networks.

Presumably to maintain any sort of integrity and to leverage non trivial computational resources the bots would need to communicate.

I don't know how discoverable botnets are in general before a massive DOS event or such but I presume the discoverability of this rogue AI was on the same level as a first approximation...

Fun fact: The AI in Dan Simmon's Hyperion live in a substrate that parasitically timeshares unperceptively the brains of people :)
"Yes, we would. And it would be easy to shutdown if it ever became a threat. So don't worry about it."

There are a number of objectionable elements to the NSA foreign operations.

- Mass surveillance of all humans is objectionable on human rights terms.

- Attacks on civilian infrastructure. The NSA is executing military operations against civilian infrastructure even in NATO countries.

It isn't conventional foreign policy or warfare for a military agency to be actively and continuously attack the civilian cultural and economic infrastructure in preparation for war.
Like everything else in security, there's a clear cost/benefit curve. It's actually dubious to make a distinction -- privacy is a form of security and its absence is a lack of security.

To get what I call hard privacy online, you must use full isolation and onion routing. There is no other way as far as I know. But we could go a long way toward making mass surveillance harder, less accurate, and more expensive by just deploying encryption, low or zero knowledge services, and by educating users to change their buying habits to favor more secure products. It would still be possible for a determined well-funded attacker to track you when using these tools, but it would raise the bar and that's a start.
Capital's share of the economy definitely can grow faster than than the economy as a whole. There's a whole book about this:

So nothing like mtgox. More like Enron? "serious professionally run" isn't some magic ward of protection.
Try again after clearing cookies and cache. Really slow.
Re-reading this article makes me think of a scifi short story that I read a while back that I can't remember the name of.

I thought it was by Bruce Sterling but apparently not. About a guy who went to (Dubai?) to reprogram some "ancient" assembly-line robots, and had trouble because access to the "net" was highly controlled, and he needed to get documentation. He hacked into a payphone, only to find that there was a lively "underground" scene on the net, and some of the royalty he had encountered was active on it.

Surely someone can remember the name/author..
It's always instructive to look at something from a different context, but the value provided by Groupon is not so much in selling coupons but in creating a system to capture and direct a userbase in order to create new coupons that didn't existing already.
What a fluff job. There was one interesting sentence in the whole article:

>Its revenue and EBITDA have consistently climbed in each year since going public, and there is plenty of cash on hand without a single cent of debt.

What about their business? I don't even know what they do today, still daily deals? How is that going, how are the growth prospects? Did they pivot, will they need to?

Asking the writer more than HN. That was crappy 'journalism'.
Correct!
I've checked and it's also doing it for Vimeo, DailyMotion and probably other video sites.
Even if it generates 10% or 0.1% cloned code, it can be completely avoided by filtering and sampling again. This should not be an issue, there could be strong guarantees of non-duplication.
Yes, this. Red and white don't taste that similar to me.

My nose isn't great, especially compared to my wife's, but I could tell you 100% of the time if I was tasting red or white while blindfolded.
Before twitter it was called aphorisms and Nietzsche was doing it before it was cool.
Super excited to see this! Clojure is an absolutely delightful language to use professionally (not to mention insanely productive). I've heard great things about Flutter and Dart also from people I trust and admire.
Nice! I've just recently started targeting the 64-bit Pi as a plugin platform, and have ported my entire library to it. So that's nearly 300 plugins also for the Pi, but no synths, just audio processors. And I use Dexed to make sounds, so this is right in my wheelhouse. Even have spare Pi 3s kicking around :)

I'm still trying to get Renoise up and running on the new Pi (400), but have already demoed a full Reaper mix with various plugins running that was made on an iMac Pro with no consideration as to CPU load, running just fine on the Pi too. All the sounds were 96k and on the Pi the project was resampled on the fly to 48k, but it played!

Add the right synths (such as Dexed: I like running it at 24 bit as a sound design machine, not just a DX7 imitation) and samples and the Pi is starting to turn into a full-on music workstation. Thrilling!

I would add that running Dexed on a bare metal Pi, means that you don't have to reinvent sound design and can use patches made elsewhere… but then, play them on the discrete unit, through whatever DAC, and then DISTORT them in analog in whatever circuit you devise, or a stompbox. Or simply run it into a ADC, some basic thing, that's not meant to take those high levels: I have a Razer thing that's easy to distort by running into its little mic input.

Overdriving FM with analog distortion gives you intense sounds that you'd struggle to match, purely in the box :) and being able to run a Dexed on a spare Pi makes all this very easy, doesn't it?
Yes the Europeans give away some of their knowledge when looking at radio spectrums, the recent 5G bands causing problems with aircraft at airports in the US is one such example of forward planning or lack of.
I've been through a similar phase. Cutting down on the things you don't feel like doing is already a good first step.

Then, like many have commented already, it always helps to find a group of people to talk to and to do so some activities with them. It doesn't have to be an ongoing everyday intensive meetups, chatting, and activities. But finding people with whom you have common interests does help a lot in sparking ideas, inspiring you to figure new things out, challenging you to get out of your comfort zone, and eventually to figure know yourself better and what you like to do.

When I was in your situation, I was already on twitter, and my behavior reflected in a way where I was constantly picking fights with everyone. When I took a step back, and did some introspection, I noticed that I was being unnecessarily aggressive because I was frustrated.

So I changed the way I used twitter, and this helped me meet like minded people, some of whom I got the chance to meet in person, and many others with whom I connected virtually.

The opportunities are endless, and it doesn't have to be an in-person group. All it takes is to find what your interests are, and to look for other nice people who share the same interests as you. With time you'll grow, learn new things, and feel more satisfied. Hope this helps. Mucho ánimo.
Would you have the same opinion if instead of "how many people from each racial group are likely experiencing food insecurity across the U.S.?" it was "committing crimes" or "receiving welfare"?
I do this everyday that I don't have lunch plans and I highly recommend it.

Debts are usually denominated in a currency, so if the nominal was 100 pounds, even if that used to be worth 100 times more before, that's what the government needs to pay.
It is great to have long term goals this massive as it makes the other big problem steps in getting there seem smaller relatively and more attainable. Not even settling for just getting there but putting 1 million people on Mars.
That's a 1bit scan saved as JPEG. This should have been saved as 1bit PNG.

For nicer looking images, scan as grayscale and then use Photoshop's Image -> Adjustments -> Curves to turn everything almost-white to white and everything almost-black to black:

Alternatively, do a high-DPI 1bit scan, convert the document to 8bit, and then scale it down.

E.g. when you go from 1600 DPI to 100 DPI, you have 16x16 1bit pixels per 8bit pixel. The result will look smooth and crispy.
Proving the point that Americans are totally blind to what everyone else can see.

1 Obesity-apparently not a problem because it didn't exist 30- years ago.

That, I find hard to believe if I remember my first trip to the US in the late 1980s and the free food restaurants in Las Vegas.

2 Healthcare -an obvious disaster, due to lack of access and
the lifestyle of a large part of the population. Oh, it will also bankrupt the country without major reforms.

3 The universities-rankings are based on research, which in turn are based on buying in talent.Don't kid yourself that they reflect the quality of undergraduates that are turned out or the population as a whole.

4 As for guns-no need to bother with that one.
You, as a rational individual who owns and operates a business, will not hire people to do bullshit jobs.

However, a company with professional managers and systems that are somewhat separated from ownership or the putative goals of the business itself will, in an unintended-consequences sort of way, end up creating a bunch of bullshit jobs. The company is too big for a single, rational, human owner to comprehensively supervise, and meanwhile there are legions of middle managers who want to increase their relative importance in the company by having more direct and indirect reports.

I don't think it's a conspiracy to keep control over the lives of others, although there are probably a lot of pathological managers who would be motivated by that that. I think it has more to do with unintended consequences. What Graeber is arguing is essentially a conspiracy theory, and it shares the same weakness of every conspiracy theory, which is that it underestimates just how bad things can get purely out of unintended consequences. Managing large organizations is hard. The difference between doing it right and doing it poorly is literally what creates and destroys most large fortunes. And even if you do it well, you're going to get some inefficiencies that smaller organizations just don't have. It's essentially a scaling problem.

Haven't you ever wondered why companies lay people off when they're in trouble? You'd think they wouldn't hire someone in the first place unless they were pretty sure that hiring that person would somehow contribute to improved profitability, and if it turned out that they didn't do so, they would just be fired in the normal course of their work. No, aside from redundancies created by merger and acquisitions, layoffs are a means of clearing out these backlogs of bullshit jobs.

True, but being based on open standards doesn't necessarily mean that the end result won't have anything proprietary in it. Jobs saying they are going to make FaceTime an open standard seems to imply that they are adding something of their own to the mix.
I don’t think we should. Browsers are probably the single most competitive piece of software out there. Microsoft, Google, Apple, Mozilla – there is no reason to fret or even care about what Safari does.

Webkit is different but this doesn’t seem to be about Webkit.
No it won't be successful this time either. The reason video calls aren't replacing voice calls has never been technical, it's always been social.

> In sciences, the real problem is things like the biology PhD whose training ends up being "working in this lab on this piece of equipment with this species for these tasks", or so I have heard from the other articles on this topic.

I'm not sure how much this is a widespread problem, to be honest. In preparing for my qualifying exam next month, and going to other peoples qualifying exam practice talks, there is a huge focus on making sure that people are asking relevant, interesting questions, and thinking through the analysis and interpretation of (as yet) hypothetical data. Those are skills that are broadly applicable, not just in biology specifically or science as a whole. People from my own lab have gone on, not just to academic jobs, but also science publishing and various startups (more and less biology related).

I believe the new network could choose to accept the old coins so you wouldn't have to start from scratch.
Theoretically yes, practically it will be slow, but it's no the CPU/RAM it's the SD card (poor I/O speed) that slows down VIM on embedded devices. You have to disable swapping, you could load your current working dir to RAM and them write a script to save the data elsewhere but that's dangerous for production.

So the best device to run vim IMHO it's still a top-notch SSD-based laptop. A chromebook (intel-based to avoid other sort of issues) would be a better bet.
The assumption is that there are still some coins left to bootstrap the scheme.
