> you can't throw a rock at the Wall Street Journal (conservative) or the New York Times (liberal) without hitting a sentence that mentions wealth inequality brought on by fed policy.

I dont feel that's a mass read category. But go to the mass right news you wont see much on inequality at all (obviously you do on the left). Right news like Fox tends to be more about taxes taking your hard work away type rhetoric. And the 'bigger pie' arguement which sounds great but lacks practical application.

> The minute inflation starts creeping up, the federal reserve will have to increase interest rates and cut off the money printer. In an instant, wealth inequality will start shifting the other direction, and valuations will fall.

Really? My understanding is inflation tends to bring wealth inequality on the other end. People who own assets see these protected from value erosion while wages tend to get eroded.

I believe if you want to reduce wealth inequality you need many things but the core is around 1) strong progressive taxation, 2) market regulation to stop monopolistic and similar behaviour and 3) employee protection/regulation to allow workers to have some teeth in the wage negotiations.
Exactly. Kubernetes has established patterns. Once you understand them then everything gets EASY. How toñset everything up, how to deploy, networking, service communication, secrets, etc

I've had teams create brand new services in hours that used to take a week. They can create, deploy, debug and manage their own service without any help from me. Their service runs and looks exactly vthe same as every other service. When things go wrong, they know where to look.

My team is smaller than it was last year while running 3x as much. That is all from a good combination of CI jobs, terraform and kubernetes. Also, our cloud bill is WAY down from last year because of the fewer number of VMs we need to run.

Is kubernetes a fad when the CTO is happy because costs are down, while productivity and stability are up?
The box is for experimentation & learning for fun and profit! :-)

When running some application on the box that processes & reduces the dataset (for example some analytics in RDBMS SQL), then the amount of data returned to the world would be much less than 66 GB/s. I have a 1 Gbit AT&T Fibre at my home(office), so could serve quite a lot through that (until AT&T starts complaining about the "unlimited" bandwidth really not being unlimited after some threshold :-)

But when not hosting stuff in a proper data centre with redundant internet connections, connection reliability would probably be the biggest issue. I've not had that many problems with reliability in the home-office (and occasional online training) usage context, but I'm pretty sure there'd be regular "hiccups" if I tried to serve something with high availability from here :-)
io_uring is specifically designed so that zero system calls are necessary while the system is busy. Userspace and the kernel both update ring buffers, and ring buffers can be checked and drained without entering the kernel at all.
Curious if your funnels are just queries directly in Redshift or if there's more going on behind the scenes.
You don't get to pick and choose which transactions you report to the government and which you don't based on how hard it is for you to bother with the reporting.

I'm not exactly sure if it doesn't work on Python3, I had only tested it on 2.7 so it mightt (there aren't any external dependencies). I'll probably test it on Python3 and safely include that in the supported versions soon.
Always good to get scientific confirmation but this has been known for a while. Here's a youtube example.

Whoa this looks awesome, thanks -- more awesome tech out of Zalando (I'm familiar with patroni/postgres-operator)!
If the hygiene hypothesis is correct, we’d have a lot more allergies.
I'd like those .. but without being stuck in traffic for hours. Private transportation + reduction in density = increased time to get into the city.
Thanks for engaging in the dialogue. With the clarifications you have given, I empathise even more with where you are coming from. Yes, in your specific circumstances the P/T PhD does look appealing and achievable.

I made the mistake thinking that a F/T PhD was doable with some P/T consulting on the side. It wasn't. The expectation and requirement to have several papers accepted and published was probably the biggest challenge.

Wishing you lots of success and enlightening research.
Yes, you'd be screwed if that happens. But it's significantly less likely that they're skiffed than a telco provider, given how they work. I know way too many people who have had the latter happen - and none the former.

Don't feel like rambling too much here but after taking a class (Ecosystem Restoration Design) last year that touched on this method a few notes:

- Yes, you generally try to use native species only. Search for things like the WWF ecoregions map to get a broad idea, search for a local resource on native species.

- The reason it grows a bit faster isn't magic - it involves a higher input effort/cost, and you skip a stage of succession by focusing more on planting 'keystone species' rather than going through an initial stage of 'pioneer species'.
- Because of this, they tend to be more attractive in urban environments. See also related organizations like "tiny forests" https://www.ivn.nl/tiny-forest/tiny-forest-worldwide (netherlands), https://theotherdada.com (beirut), more listed on https://www.afforestt.com/about. You do need a minimum width/length to implement, and may need to dig the soil/amend the soil to deal with urban-area compaction.

- The most actionable things you can do is:

- got money? Right now (temperate winter here) is a good time to plant native saplings if they're not sold out. You may even find some folks 'salvaging' native plants from areas where land is about to be cleared for construction.

- setup a tree nursery. Native saplings can be expensive

- try things in a small way, tell your neighbors, start mutual learning.

- Keep in mind not all areas in the world should be planted with trees. Some areas are natively grasslands and thus trees are less populated.

- If you're going to have a dense forest, you need a plan for maintenance so you don't end up with woody mass building up to cause a fire later on (see millan millan's papers "greening and browning in a climate change hotspot". You might be able to partner with a local businesses, school, government, etc. to find a spot & help with expenses/maintenance
> if you are serving users other than yourself, blocking the entirety of google isn't a viable option

This is a fair assumption to challenge. Lots of developers co-mingling their traffic with an ad company doesn't mean everyone has to whitelist their servers. It's an impediment. But Apple has navigated those.
I learned the most actually from discussing with others. Also I learned a lot from doing a lot. I.e. ideation, sales, putting in production, maintaining, upgrading, documentation, and sunsetting. This removes one from a tunnel vision that I used to be in, seeing things in broader scope.

In regards to learning itself.

- Trying to be open to any language, stack or technology concept or paradigm. And be devoid of fanboyism. Pick no favourites but trying really to look at the broad spectrum of software development. See what different paradigms bring to the table.

- Be good at discussing technology with people and listening to them. Learn to communicate in an open manner, ask 'Why', 'How would you solve X' instead of 'That won't work' when you are unsure of the ideas of others.

- Try not to search for affirmation but try to find honest discussions.

- Leave your ego behind

- Become good at selecting which whom you discuss with, and divide your energy and attention accordingly. I.e I usually have more meaningful discussions with people that tried a lot of different paradigms, technologies and finally settled at some stack.

- Understand that sometimes you choose a lesser technical thing or solution, because the team can't work with it yet.
- Become good at dissecting hype, but be open minded and not bitter.

- If you want to grow hang out with people that are better then you and learn a lot from them.

- Learn how to learn.

- Keep a learning log/diary for yourself. For reference and to see how far you've become.

- Find the right attitude and motivation for learning. Try not
to think I can't do this. But think. In 3 years I'll be able to do X y z. I can still suck a little for 2 years hurray!
What about if you're a company doing that Nevada company town thing? Hmmm
While off topic I’d echo this for managing coders as well.

A lot of the problem set is debugging people and teams. For example “why is x person performing differently” and the debugger are time boxed to 1:1s, sprint cadence meetings, and looking at output, so the thinking between those debugging events is increased because you can’t just brute force it like a sticky code problem.

I think the pandemic has worsened this. Pre-pandemic I had a 40 min walk buffer to and from work where I’d naturally start thinking about my own life. Others had dedicated offices at home and other social interactions, or a coworking space.

Now most social interactions and validation for many come from work slack or zoom, no commute for everyone, and for those in smaller spaces their living room or kitchen or bedroom is their office so work is always within reach and their is no buffer. There’s also not much else to do.

So even if you can pull yourself away from your laptop your thoughts are more often than not focused on solving these kinds of work problems.
Not if you use a community adjusted ebitda valuation.
What you're suggesting isn't that far from "don't use the internet".

That's fine -- your privacy will go way up -- but I don't think that's the solution very many people are looking for.
With no disrespect to you, this comes across like a pre-canned response from the Amazon Anti-Anti-Trust legal team...

I mean, your second and third paragraph could be the introduction to an internal presentation about "why we at Amazon should embrace, extend, and extinguish OSS". The things you listed are precisely why Amazon would want to destroy OSS, Because OSS is a threat to anyone offering proprietary software, and anyone who has built their empire on OSS will inevitably need to shift to proprietary software to retain relevance in a world where OSS software "eats the world" by, for instance, commoditizing the infrastructure layer...

In other words, just in time for AWS to become less relevant due to the enormous gains in open source infrastructure as a service tools, Amazon will swoop in and help to destroy the most useful parts of the open source economy.

It's easy to look at this with a naïve optimism and think "but these are the exact kinds of things that helped AWS grow to begin with", To which the obvious reply is "yes, at the bottom end, but Amazon has been focused on enterprise more and more over the past five years, and licensing agreements with other big tech companies have changed the offering and the prospects of future offerings". All you have to do is look at YouTube to see another example of this. YouTube built its user base on small contributors, but as soon as it reached a plateau it began to focus on the old guard, main stream media, Hollywood, etc., unfortunately for the little guys. This is the same pattern every company takes once they get big enough to play competitively with the big boys.

This is all, of course, only my opinion.
>> It also means turning down opportunities that may pay well, but don't offer any opportunity for building relationships.

Spot on. This is the hard truth.

My experience has been similar this week. I was in a situation to decide between Opportunity (with Higher rate) vs Opportunity (Building relationship). Glad I chose the second option.

Exelius, I don't see the contact info in your profile. Is there a way to contact? My email is in my profile.
Even if detachable magazines were legal (which it now looks like they soon will not be, with the possible exception of grip magazines in pistols), an Apple firearm won't include one. If the gun ever jams you have to take it to a Genius Bar to get it unjammed. Because it features Touch ID, it will be the only firearm to comply with Biden's proposed smart gun requirement at the time the requirement passes, and thus the only legal gun in America until other manufacturers follow suit -- but a gunOS mandatory security update causes the gun to squirt water instead of firing ammunition.
If someone else's server provides a critical service for your app, and your livelihood depends on it, you're probably better off to operate your own server rather than to outsource it.

Suppose branch.io fixes their current problems, but next year goes totally bankrupt. How would that affect you? That kind of thing happens all the time. That's why I don't use GitHub, for example.

I would like to see comments on job postings. I don't consider them ads, to me they are interesting content. Even if they were ads, what's intrinsically wrong about enabling comments in ads? There's already a system in place for dealing with inappropriate comments and it works well.
That's clearly a straw man. Parent said absolutely nothing about the other party.

A little science and resourcefulness goes a long way in some sports.
True, but at the same time, we're talking about billions of dollars of real money. In clear self interest, all those institutions will have built obvious checks in their system. Losing several billions of dollars in seconds is something they want to avoid.

Indeed, the fact that the flash crash was the definition of something with a vast number of transactions, huge price moves, and happened in the blink of an eye but still was relatively minor and almost inconsequential shows the reliance of the stock market.
Ask them a bullet point list of what action points would they hope to set as a result of this meeting. Both for themselve and you. This will provide you with 2 defense lines:

1)They have to make an extra investment in this meeting. This will weed off the types who have a memorized pitch and dump on whomever they can find.

2)They will have to make their intention clear before the meetind. No bait and switch.

This actually works for all types of meetings. I've seen a radical decrease in invitations and time spent at meetings,
Fair enough. I guess the merit of this article is to create the opportunity for this discussion.

Reminds me of someone (can't really find who now) who said a few months ago that HN is like going out for a movie and a dinner. The value of it isn't really the movie and the dinner, but the opportunity of discussions it creates.

So... yeah :)
Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance! Also, be yourself and remember not to talk too fast.
Seems they had an error with how it calculated? The spike exists for everything I can find that existed back then, but the spike seems relative to the total, so maybe they accidentally counted 1 search as 2 or something? Maybe it was an issue with their use of ajax that caused 2 search requests to be fired off to google? Maybe the data isn't wrong, maybe something caused extra searches?

http://www.google.com/trends?q=newgrounds,+reddit,+paul+grah...
Do they even have the ability to repair the data? If information is logged in real-time, and there is no easy way to filter through billions of search query terms to de-dupe (or whatever fix may be required), it might not be possible to correct the dataset.
Am I correct in thinking that this is a spin-off from instapaper.com (they take popular saved pages from instapaper to create the content for gmstr.com )? I cann't recommend Instapaper highly enough as a tool for saving web-articles and sending them to my Kindle for off-line reading.
The really difficult thing is that, while in many cases the demand letters are legitimate and appropriate, in some cases like this they aren't. If Zephoria sued danah for trademark infringement, I would certainly hope they would lose since danah can probably prove that she's been using the pseudonym since 1998, 4 years before their trademark issued.
Yeah, but, if you're a very important social media researcher who has important information to disseminate to your followers in order to justify your own very importance, then anything short of

"Tumblr disappeared me…"

isn't going to generate the same outrage, and publicity, that Xeni Jardin did when she tried to erase Violet Blue's posts from BoingBoing. "Erase posts" being the conventional and operating phrase. So don't blame her; it's the social media-generated apathy.
In particular, searches for computer equipment is generally frustrating. I've also seen sorts result in a large number of irrelevant outdated used items getting filtered to the top.[1]

I'm willing to cut them slack since it's good enough, but look at Newegg to see how it should be done. It's not a completely fair comparison (since Newegg specializes in this), but they do it so much better.[2]

Hopefully one day systems will exist whereby I can play any song and watch any film or tv episode from my home via the internet in exchange for cash.

I hope so, too, and I'm in the US.

I'd probably pay £100 a month for that

That's a bit steeper than I'd pay, but I'm not not a heavy consumer of content (and, basically, never consume individual[1] songs). I might still pay that if it were for my entire household and not per device, since I could offer it to renters as a benefit.

I would even go so far as to pay à la carte for the content, but only if it were a reasonable "rental" price. The current Amazon prices are too steep, especially since the selection is so limited and the interface is separate from Netflix's service. I'm not, however, willing to "buy" a permanent license, especially to a TV show.

[1] As opposed to radio-style where someone else picks which songs are played.
I had an old mac server, so I use Apple's gui. TBH, I don't even know if its sendmail or postfix under the hood.

Never even got started using virtual domains. I just run emails for one domain, so it never sounded like I should setup the virtual ones.

I can't envision a situation where I would really need to do anything sophisticated with an email server, when I wouldn't just use google apps. I can do the basic "send and receive" email from my server, and I was able to let my gmail send through that (removing the "on behalf of" header).

But other than that I'm probably a hosted email guy all the way. I've never spent any money on email stuff or been focused on it, so I don't have any feel for costs.
Totally agree - it's our loss if we don't help/make it better.

(lol)

The price of an apple 2 computer, with no monitor, was $1300. You can get a 21 inch imac for $1100 today. 18% nominal deflation! Apple must be absolutely broke!

Look, I know. I went to the same "inflation is necessary" schools you did, and listened to Cal Econ professors patiently explain to me how without it we'd all be rooting around in the dirt, eating grubs. At some point I just stopped believing that.
Which doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the original sentence.

Anything under DoD should be considered military, as it falls under the jurisdiction of the DoD, which is military.

I think nomad really needs a k3s equivalent.

The equivalent of k8s is not nomad, it's nomad+consul+vault

If you read through something like kubernetes-the-hard-way most of the really tricky parts are setting up the PKI infrastructure and bootstrapping etcd.

https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/nomad/security-enable-... starts to look a lot like https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way/b...

Vault is better than k8s secrets, but getting nomad working doesn't magically give you a working vault cluster.
Hum, Guy's solution is really terrible, division, multiplication and modulo are very expensive operations, and completely unnecessary here. This is basically a case of "I'm clever and you must think like me to be in my team". Uh no thanks.
This has no practical use. This is geeky. I love it!
Hi,

Great feedback and we definitely need to make that more clear on our site! Thanks.

We're working on a "family" view so you can see all your kids in a single timeline. If a user wants to email a moment for two kids, they could add them both to the "to:" field and we'll show it in each of the recipient's garden and eventually combine them in the family view. However, you're right - from the web, this is not possible yet. We tried to keep things as simple as possible, but this is something we'll have to consider going forward.
I like the wireframe and have been thinking that a tracking tool like this would be useful (tracking all the site changes on a timeline with key metrics). Oftentimes I find myself hopping back and forth between our change logs and the analytics data to find what happened when & the result. Are there other tools that do this? Kissmetrics? Mixpanel?
There are two ways of looking at money. In the case of physical tokens you have just as many before and after inflation so that’s not theft.

The other way is to consider it as an abstraction of value independent of these tokens. But who then pays to maintain the system, prevent counterfeits, and issue replacements for used tokens etc? It’s the government that issues these tokens and as such the loss of value over time is simply a payment for use of the system. You might disagree with how large the fee is, but it’s a medium of exchange so you can trade your tokens for something else.

That's not the fifth. Pleading not guilty isn't considered a statement or an admission of anything. Nor can it be held against you in any way. We don't double down by charging every guilty party with "perjury" because they lost. That was done away with centuries ago.
