Sounds like the middle man you worked with was an asshole. What's the lesson there? Don't work with that company/person. And think about what signs you can look for in future partners that can tell you they are a similar sort of asshole.

The "true client" proves there's business for you to get which will pay you what you want to be paid. Go out and find the customers. That's really what it comes down to.
>That's not science

Why can't it be? Why can't we just start doing studies on people who have already had positive experiences with these drugs? Why is there an assumption that one size has to fit all? The data collected from them would useful as a control group regardless.
Worth noting that the AQI scale you are citing (100, 150, etc.) and the ug/m3 used in the article are different numbers. AQI of 85 is not so bad. 85 ug/m3 isn't good.
It would, but this can be solved using the same mechanisms by introducing genuine lexical and dynamic environments. My implementation was just a suggestive hack.
What is almost certain, however, is that Cocoa,
like Objective-C, is doomed. It's not as much a

That was the part I was responding to.

The fact is that Markdown is not a very good design but became the standard. So this is just a cross one must bear.
lol this is absurd, they're fighting against rampant sexual harassment and a variety of other real workplace problems, not being mind controlled by nefarious bolsheviks
How does that work? If the minimum wage is intended to be sufficient for an "average household", then shouldn't it be less for a household without children, and smaller still for a single person?
This is past click bait and in the territory of straight up lying. The actual article talks about youtube videos of surgery increasing, which makes sense. Good doctors listen to audio, watch videos and read papers all the time.

No one is only watching a video and then yoloing their way through a surgery. I have sat and watched surgery videos with a surgeon before. It is supplemental, exactly as you would expect. There are tight regulations in place for these things already.

This is terrible scare journalism and pretty fucking shameful.
Many VPS providers (for ex. OVH) also do the same thing and provide a single IPv6 address.

IC-9700 is an impressive looking radio.

I think amateur VHF/UHF/SHF SDR are really a long way from what state of the art should be in those bands, but are most just porting HF SDR to a new set of bands.

VHF+ SDR should be all about beam forming, broad band modes (spread spectrum), digital, etc. There is so much more spectrum available (esp in 23cm), and its so much easier to put up multiple antennas.
Hey I'm looking into digital ad work, any way to contact you?
I wonder if they've done that analysis and found that it wouldn't actually be worth it. My concern is that those threat models might not be great at factoring in the cost of the end times.
Not surprising. I was wondering when the Christmas surge was going to hit our medical system. Only problem is that with a full ER, folks that could have survived with minimal care end up dying or deteriorating because all the beds are full and because the staff is overworked.
"Coal is cheaper than solar in Nigeria because that's what they're mostly building now"

Firtly, thats a circular argument:"clearly bloodletting works because everyone is using it"

Secondary, the argument is meanongless without a timespan - for example a hydroelectric dam is the chepest source of electricity ever, but is very expensive upfront: no private investor wants to fund that because their returns will take decades. Channel tonnel is profitable now, but initial investort got wrecked, etc.

A hypothetical asset that lasts forever has infinite ROI but if it takes you 200 years to make your money back noone will invest.

Very interesting having the DBs hosted in another datacenter. I've always assumed it'd add too much latency, but it looks like that's not the case.

Here's a traceroute between an EC2 instance in us-east-1a and rackspace.com (which resolved to one of their VA datacenters): http://pastebin.com/RF5VrTic

Sub 2ms. It also looks like the us-east-1a is peered directly with whichever rackspace datacenter served the request.
I'm seeing a much different narrative, which is very interesting to me. It is the continuing narrative about Dropbox and security. Last week it was the revelation that their crypto is backdoored. This week it is the revelation that their devs are piggybacking ACL functionality onto their dedupe hashing algorithm. I'm seeing a pattern here, that your files are nowhere near as safe on Dropbox as you think they are, nor as safe as Dropbox represents them to be.

Wonder what the next headline is going to be.
Corollary: fail early, fail often.
Failure is often the best learning experience you can receive (if you're ready to receive it).
I agree but it's worth noting that not all of the author's suggestions are on the wrong side of that line. The first three suggestions and the penultimate suggestion are along the lines of "tell me what's wrong".

Anyone saying that Dropship has legal uses is wrong -- you're stealing from Dropbox by using it whether you're sharing your academic, public-domain dataset or your pirated movie.

Dropship sidesteps the TOS of Dropbox by letting users get unlimited sharing bandwidth. Dropbox itself has a share feature which uses the exact technical mechanism by which Dropship works, except it also puts rate limits and caps on sharing.

OT: This is probably the worst comments thread I've ever read on HN. It's like an echo-chamber telephone game. Jeez.

Does not actually measure the main overhead (especially on mobile) - loading and parsing JavaScript frameworks and templates, therefore not really a valid comparison.
Right after the first level the question in my mind was, "hmm, I wonder what the tile for conditionals looks like." That question was never answered. Anybody have any ideas on how to answer it?
Just made an account to reply. I have absolutely nothing against dogs or other pets whatsoever. Sometimes I expect to be sitting in the library or in a cafe, usually a confined place, for a while. To do some work or chat with a friend etc. The issue is, I am extremely allergic against dogs (only horses are worse but I hope nobody will bring a horse into my go-to cafe).

So now somebody enters with their dog, lets it run around freely (!) and I have nowhere to go. Dogs are about the only things that reliably induce allergic asthma in me if exposure time is > 1 hour. So thankfully that rarely happens. But I get immediate massive hayfever symptoms. Sneezing 8 times in a row, runny nose like there is no tomorrow, itchy eyes, all that jazz.

I find it irresponsible of people to bring their pets into confined public spaces such as cafes and even more so of the owners to allow it. I like dogs a lot, sadly I cannot own one. But please don't bring it into a place like that for more than a few minutes. That's just my perspective.

Same reason I hate subway musicians btw. I mean the one inside the trains. You can't get away from them. You are forced to listen to them. Playing on the street? Ok with me, I can keep walking. But doing it in the train is rude beyond anything and I don understand why people put up with it.
Doesn't surprise me the slightest to be honest. Having worked on a customized fork of OpenStack that used a pure L3 networking model I know that you are set for pain the moment you don't want to run everything on a single Ethernet segment.

It doens't help that the Neutron data-model at the time that I was working on in (say 12 months ago or so) was terrible and basically impossible to scale/make to perform.

Inevitably you were then stuck with the deprecated and janky nova-network interface. Which while efficient and fast was also old and missing tons of stuff - meaning more monkey patching and janking around. Not to mention the fact that because of it's deprecation many completely ridiculous bugs befell it in later releases. (Grizzly and onwards basically)

TBH I am so disillusioned with the project I hope I don't have to work in or around it again.
Usually via graph, a "six degrees of separation" sort of thing, you don't have to directly contact each other, but it's enough to contact some of the same people to assume a connection. Also similar use patterns or geo locations (ip location or profile input indicating physical proximity) can be taken into account. I don't have intimate knowledge of their algorithms so I don't know about any other factors they might use.

I find it quite amusing that you're "dismayed" at a system working properly :)
Sure, blame the parents, and not the society that leaves us all exhausted from working too much and the dopamine-optimized algorithmic engagement furnace that is YouTube.

Yeah just keep blaming parents. That'll make everything better.
If I can only find people to sit beside like that video.
One unintended consequence of the FTC settlement mentioned in the article is that almost no-one wants to create high quality kid-friendly content anymore, because doing so forces them to accept huge restrictions on how everyone interacts with it - now no-one can add those videos to playlists or leave comments on them, by FTC decree, even if they're adults on the main version of YouTube. So anyone producing content that isn't vapid trash and could actually attract a wide audience is incentivised to aggressively exclude kids from that audience.
I work in a preschool and we love playing the kids yoga/movement based songs for the kids sometimes. During the winter when its too cold to play outside, we do some kids yoga and the kids love it. There are tons of good channels with this kind of content that are, imo, super beneficial
It’s going over your wifi, right? To start, you could evaluate whether the upload bandwidth could fit a video signal.

> YouTube Kids was created to give kids a more contained environment that makes it simpler and more fun for them to explore on their own, and easier for parents and caregivers to guide their journey as they discover new and exciting interests along the way.

And from TFA,

> The letter claimed that one research team, which it did not name, found only about 4% of videos had a high educational value. Much of the rest was low quality content such as toy unboxing and videos of people playing video games.

I don't see how those 2 things are incompatible with each other. Not all children's programming needs to be "highly educational". I'd say toy unboxing and videos of people playing (child friendly, hopefully) video games is totally fine. Parents just need to stop using an iPad as a babysitter and actually limit the amount of time they're watching things.

It's not bland and useless. It's only safe for a very narrow definition of the word.

It's "safe" in the sense that kids won't see boobies or hear potty words on the videos. But it's unsafe in that they will be constantly inundated with marketing content that is proven to be very effective on kids.

Agreed. There is a difference between sales and fulfillment.
I suppose it may depend on the model, but all the modern Thinkpads I've seen rolling around the office in the past year or so come with thunderbolt.
> A police source said they will not specify the location of the injury "because it's something only the assailant would know, and we wish to weed out possible false confessions."

Whoa, Japan has cops who recognize that false confessions are a thing? Wish we had those in the US.
Yes, that's true. The idea of 'teamwork' doesn't work if people are self-directed/self-employed (as I am), but also doesn't work if the old practice of selling one's loyalty for income and stability is no more.
>It could cause a crisis of faith in all those who trusted Google...

Only if we tell all the people we encouraged to use google that we were wrong. I speak for myself here, but I've encouraged a lot of google adoption in my friends and relatives. I regret it deeply, and don't know what to recommend to them now.
Lately I've developed a distaste for thinking of math as simply a representation of "something real", I'd rather think of it as a language in its own right. I'll just link this here because it explains the point way better than I could: http://onfoodandcoding.blogspot.fi/2013/04/completely-reliab... (the first 5'ish paragraphs especially)
That is why it is getting crazy important to get mentioned on sites like TechCrunch, etc. It is not the best mouse-trap that wins ... just be the most known and funded one.
It appears you are implying that people in the US are well off because they have a lot of free time. Funny/sad thing is that this is far from reality. People in the US work more than almost any other nation in the world.
I'm really tired of people trying to set an equivalence between free markets and lack of regulation. I don't know if that's exactly what you're trying to do but:

A free market is a very specific definition, there are things like atomicity of actors and whatnot. Loads of regulations can help meet that, for example:

-Governments handing out tax credits to new companies helps free markets

-Governments setting in anti-trust laws helps free markets

-Governments setting disclosure regulations helps free markets

Some regulations harm free markets (namely things like entry controls), but others protect it. We need to learn to make the distinction
Emily seems to have the gift of being able to be noticed wherever she goes - I almost never go on software development twitter (or any other area of twitter for that matter) but whenever I do she seems to have some recommended tweet listed alongside whatever I'm looking at - and now a top post on HN about leaving because she wants something different - impressive

Yes, Please! Burnout culture is horrible and we need to respect our work/life balance. If you work for a company where you can't say "I'll get to that first thing tomorrow" then you should be working somewhere else.

Unreasonable expectations usually starts with management though. I had a "boss" who was very much my senior as far as age but had zero management experience and his benchmark for value was Lines of Code and Cards Completed instead of better value metrics like features delivered, velocity, bugs reported, etc. Needless to say, I didn't stay very long.
I would definitely be okay with phone only interviews, but this is more of a like when a recruiter's browsing through hundreds of candidates he or she shouldn't see pictures first.
Totally! That's how progress is made, thinking out loud :) Thank you too!
It seems like an oil peak for a company like Shell could occur whenever they want. It seems like they are basically admitting that they have stopped exploring for new oil reserves and they will no longer be investing in increasing production at their existing reserves. It certainly seems like they are looking to drive the price upwards while at the same time reducing their investment, all while getting to claim to be more green.
In France we work 35h and I thin we should move to 28h. More and more company do the move.

Speak for yourself. They provided a candid perspective about their career at Mozilla. I wouldn't demand additional context if they didn't already feel it relevant to provide.
imo with such a doubling down on politics and partisanship, reddit is limiting its own audience. just visiting the front page for me is enough to dissuade me from using it with all the cringy center left takes being used on every subreddit and filling the home page.

why are subreddits like “photos” or “pets” littered with “orange man bad” posts?
I was the PC dude among the gang that was focused on the Amiga, I use to dislike being the only one diving into Peter Norton and PC Systems Programming books, while only being able to do Amiga programming (in pairs, apparently we were already doing agile!), and music (hey Protracker!) during our weekend meetings.

Apparently I was the lucky one, although like everyone else on the group I always kept trying to find the Amiga soul in newer systems.

BeOS seemed to be it, but it wasn't.

Nowadays I would give that place to macOS and Windows, in what concerns being multimedia desktop computers, although it isn't the same.
No problem. I haven't lived in Amsterdam since the 80's but I do occasionally visit and the effect has been quite noticeable when walking along the canals, especially on summer days.
This may be a dumb question but why would you put anything on a server at DO that you need 5 nines out of? DO is all about the price and mediocre tools and machine that you get for it. I use it for personal/fun stuff but I'd never put my business on it.

I used to be a Docker fanboy. But after writing a few semi-complex Dockerfiles, and seeing more of how complex and FUBAR things like networking is [1], I changed my tune.

This was years ago, so maybe they greatly simplified things. But somehow I doubt it =/

What is HTML LS?
Hmm, that's an impressive list of links. I picked one at random - the Vox link - and it starts with this paragraph:

"When people talk about identity politics it’s often assumed they’re referring to the politics of marginalized groups like African Americans, LGBTQ people, or any group that is organizing on the basis of a shared experience of injustice — and that’s a perfectly reasonable assumption."

Eh, call it a draw? I'm not wedded to the list of terms people use.

If you mean to restrict things to the developed West, then “Socialism" is fairly accurate if somewhat broad, but then Western Cold War era leftism was itself pretty broad.

Yes, I suppose I could have explicitly stated I was writing from a European/American political context. That's usually the default assumption here on HN though.

Corbyn and Sanders are barely left-wing.

According to them they are very much left wing, more left than anyone else in modern politics! Using a strict dictionary definition that would count the Soviet dictatorship as a left wing political party, yes you're right, but people (in the west) use the word communism to describe that, not left-wing or leftism. And my post is about how language is used today, and how it's changing.

Blair, like Clinton, was no kind of left-wing politician, and certainly not typical of the post-1950s left wing in his country.

He was left wing of a sort. For example he pretty massively expanded the state, but in obfuscated ways that even today are causing problems and haven't really been tackled, e.g. the growth of "quangos", the level of state funding of the charity sector, the large increase in student and academic funding.

To me the acid test is this: if a politician calls themselves left wing, and hardly anyone disagrees, not their opponents and nor their allies, then that's what the word means. Blair is the most ambiguous case because the hard left of his party did sometimes claim he was in reality not left wing at all, but that was never true of Corbyn or Sanders. Not even the rump communist movement would have been so bold as to claim that Corbyn wasn't genuinely left wing.

However, Corbyn and Sanders did not (to my knowledge) ever advocate for suppression of their political opposition. Thus I wouldn't describe them as engaging in "leftism".

This whole discussion is a giant rabbit hole though. Perhaps the terms "left wing" and "woke" are sufficient to distinguish between what I'm calling "classical post 1950 left wing politics" and "the ideology of leftism".
Same here, though my user is "only" 12 years old. They can take old.reddit.com from my cold, dead hands.
I do work in web app development, and what you say is spot on.
Maybe the reason the price of those cornerstone services is that people had more money left over, thus were willing to pay more? This effect seems to be happening with housing and education.
This may or may not change your mind on the topic.

https://www.cjr.org/analysis/capital-b-black-styleguide.php

From the article:

To capitalize Black, in her view, is to acknowledge that slavery “deliberately stripped” people forcibly shipped overseas “of all other ethnic/national ties.” She added, “African American is not wrong, and some prefer it, but if we are going to capitalize Asian and South Asian and Indigenous, for example, groups that include myriad ethnic identities united by shared race and geography and, to some degree, culture, then we also have to capitalize Black.”
We go through several stages before it hits prod. Our test environment -> the dev environment -> staging -> prod and still we are bitten by istio.

A lot of the problems we have seen do not manifest themselves until you get significant traffic in the cluster.

Luckily, it is one of our goals this year to make our setup testable.

Our setup is:

- an ingressgateway running on each node so that our SIEM can get IP addresses
- 1000s of virtual service entries for all the services running (40 per namespace x 25+ namespaces)
- 100s of deploys a day which causes pilot to update all the time
- the clusters are small with like 50 nodes
- we have way too many services and consolidation is slow
- we haven't been able to upgrade to the Istio operator yet because there is an outstanding bug that breaks everything
