Apologies, I didn't mean to sound condescending. I think you got it.

I just wanted to point you to the official explanation, since you seemed to be asking for clarification as to Linkerd's purpose.

A proxy can be a lot of things, of course. Linkerd is explicitly designed to route RPC, not just any web traffic. Linkerd is designed to run close to your app and offload all the routing intelligence.

For example, it seems quite common these days to build many types of service discovery and so on into the app itself: App wants to find another microservice, so it looks up the target host in Etcd or ZooKeeper or whatever, then talks to it, handling retrying and load-balancing and so on. If you're using a DNS solution like SkyDNS or Consul, then the app is isolated from the lookup mechanism, but you're still talking directly to your peer. The opposite, older trend is to use something like HAProxy to handle the routing, but HAProxy was designed for a fairly static set of routing targets.

Linkerd is a bit of a middle way: Make the app stupid and put all the operational intelligence in an external process that isn't actually your app, but still sort of behaves like it is. Linkerd is designed to be dynamically configured to support all the kinds of glue you can think of (ZooKeeper, Kubernetes and so on) so that no app changes are needed to support different routing schemes.

While neat demo, 3-5 mW does not sound that efficient compared to modern microcontrollers, which by themselves might use order of magnitude less power. Of course whole system power will be bit higher than just the microcontroller alone, that blinking LED probably consuming almost as much as the controller :)

I know that "tired person in a hurry" is a trope, but considering how masochistic the health professions are about sleep, it really applies here.
> I also don't think you have much personal experience people who have been addicted to opiates.

I said as much. Which is a good enough reason to be suspicious of prohibition for me.

And to be clear, I'd find it very difficult to believe anyone gets a two week supply of opiates after surgery and goes all Reefer Madness after following the directions on the prescription. You're talking about people who abuse the drug. Most people who drink don't become alcoholics.

Now maybe you also want to abolish alcohol, in that case I just don't see any common ground.

I've tried pot for a migraine before and it only made me more nauseous. I'd be willing to try it for other types of pain but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice. I find the side effects mostly unpleasant.

I find opiates far more effective at relieving pain (tooth, back, eye pain after PRK surgery, mouth surgery after a car accident), with the fewest side effects. (I've only had light nausea once.) Running out of medication at the end of a course is a non-issue (I actually almost never finish it), and I notice lower levels of impairment than even a single beer.

But I don't abuse it. I take the larger dosage (500 vs 325? I forget exactly), in a maximum of 4 hour intervals (IIRC), and usually whatever the reason for taking them has subsided to the point ibuprofen alone works fine after about 48-hours.

And you would suggest that should end, without a viable alternative, because some other people abuse it? That seems like a very puritanical position to me.

Tesla has one facility, which is definitely state of the art, and has some of the largest automobile manufacturing robots in the world... on the other hand toyota has about 40-70 plants of varying level of technological advancement... its quite a range because some are only operated by toyota not owned... there more recently opened factories such is the one in Mississippi are pretty much universally accepted amongst the most advanced in the world... In fact Tesla's current factory is actually an upgraded old ford/toyota partnership which was upgraded as part of a tesla/toyota partnership...

which is all to really say...
1 plant vs 40-70 plants...
90K vehicles produced per year to 9,000K vehicle/year...
unproven manufacturing prowess vs universally accepted best manufacturing capability

toyota is universally accepted as having the most advanced automotive manufacturing as far as major manufacturing... Even Elon Musk wouldnt have the balls to make the claims you guys are making here... please lets stick to reality.

i wish tesla well... they i think are going to be the main catalyst in popularizing the electric car... will they actually hit 500K units in 2018 out of the Fremont factory? seems unlikely given their track record but maybe... i mean toyota was able to produce that much out of the same facility before it was upgrade about a decade ago so its possible...

Also I'm not sure my point about food was clear. I'm saying give a poor family an extra $5k to spend for healthier food, and it could make a significant difference. But give them $50k (for food) more and it has no additional health benefit. But give them $50k, $250k, $500k to spend on schooling and suddenly it leads to great differences in outcome.

Which is different from other municipalities, and would lead to some of us misunderstanding that DC works that way. Where I live, funding is very centered around districts, separate from the county, and there are massive disparities based on the wealth distribution in neighborhoods. People know where the good schools are, and they're typically the ones in which minorities are not. Hell, it's so fucked here that the county voted to sue the state last year.
No, the most common grade at Harvard is A or some variation thereof. See the Carol Joyce Oates interview.

Your comment may sound sarcastic on the first read, but I agree with the point; don't use Windows when what you needed could be done with a micro controller or a physical circuit. Not sure if the application here fits that at all, but I've definitely seen things like you-do-it check-outs, ATMs, billboards, etc running Windows. I would think that these systems would be much better off with something like a hardened micro controller running a remote display system vs a multi-gigabyte operating system.

With Windows 10, this problem will likely get a whole lot worse. What do you do when MS pushes a forced update to your deployed devices and it bricks some of them? http://m.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/06/microsoft_update_asus_...

As we've seen with things like SCADA, switching from Windows is not a silver bullet, but in terms of minimizing the complexity and attack surface, Windows seems to be starting at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Cloud Foundry can run Heroku buildpacks out of the box. Several of the bundled buildpacks in a CF release (Ruby, Python, Node, and I think Golang) are wrapped versions soft-forked from Heroku's.

The others (Java, PHP, Staticfile, Binary) were written specifically for Cloud Foundry.

I guess it's possible, but that sounds fishy. Why would they delay the plane for a passenger who feels sick? Either you feel fine and you fly, or you don't and you get off the plane. You would never delay a train or a bus for that reason.

Machine Learning is where you can infer something (usually classify or extrapolate) about future data based on present data/examples and this inference has had no human input determining it.

> a regulatory environment that requires

the regulatory environment only "requires" this if your drug doesn't work as advertised. The other way to get your drug approved is to, you know, not make phony claims about its efficacy.
Sometimes it's all about tradeoffs. For example, a split bobbin is actually undesirable in most transformers because it reduces coupling between the windings, reducing the efficiency of the power supply. That's why if you look inside a better-quality power supply you'll often find that they have a split bobbin for the input common-mode choke and then a single bobbin with layered windings for the main transformer.
Yup, makes total sense.

I think I'm just jealous that they're getting attention for solving something that I solved too, but didn't even think to release it because I thought everybody else was just like me.

My approach involves running a sidecar that registers a set of etcd watchers, and when upstream services move around, it passes the list of backends through a config file template (using Go's templating syntax), and runs a configurable command.

Meanwhile, other services' sidecars are health checking them, and keeping them in etcd only as they are healthy.

We wire that up to have the watcher process in the downstream sidecar, which rewrites an haproxy config with the list of upstream backends, and triggers an haproxy restart when it changes the config file.

And then, that whole thing is wrapped in a declarative syntax that lets you say "here's the things I want to talk to", and it knows how to find them in etcd, how to construct the haproxy template, and how to restart haproxy, and puts the whole thing in a docker container that links to your container.

And then we wrap all that in a web UI (and CLI) that lets you say "I want my service to talk to that service" and all the things happen for you.

Looking back, it shouldn't surprise me that this level of effort is something people would want an off-the-shelf solution for. But to be fair, I started doing this a few years back so things like DCOS and Marathon and confd and linkerd and namerd didn't exist then. :-D

The grandparent said he doesn't know of any Palantir product that sends people to jail. That just doesn't make any sense. But to answer your question: no, sending people to jail who have been convicted of a crime after a fair trial is not a bad thing.

My problem with Palantir is that it's a surveillance tool that's used to kill people.

You can't pass it off as "just a tool", because this was its initial rationale, and what its initial customers do. All the commercial fraud products are just after the fact product repositioning.

The algorithmic kill lists I refer to go by the military term "signature strike"[1]. To create target lists, the government essentially data mines their survelince data use social network analysis (sound like any product you know?) and throws it through a machine learning classifier. If the classifier comes back "true", the person gets droned. The key thing to remember -- and this can't be stressed enough -- NO ONE IN THE KILL CHAIN KNOWS THE TARGET! It's just math.[0]

Now think about that when your test fail, or you find a data error, or the next time you review your classification model's performance.

If you work for this company, you owe it to yourself to understand what exactly this company is doing, and how its products are used.

Palantir isn't like any other Silicon Valley company. Google just wants you click on ads. Facebook just wants you to click on ads. Uber just wants you to drive taxis and get taxi rides. Palantir rationale is to help people kill people.

Maybe you were overwhelmed with the private car, the talk of vague cool stuff, the hint of cloak and dagger, and the 6-figure salary, but you owe it to yourself to get informed about the company -- and any company you're thinking about joining. This is triplely so when you're dealing with intelligence and military contractors.

If you're honestly a pacifist, I hate to break it to you, but you've picked pretty much the worst company in Silicon Valley to work for.

[1] Dont bother with Wikipwdia. It redirects to "targeted killing", which isn't precise. A signature strike is a specific type of assassination.

> One big one is our obesity problem, once we have Universal Healthcare, are you then going to support Universal Diets, and Universal/Mandatory Exercise??

I would add a tax onto activities that increase healthcare costs, yes. I'm not stopping your from doing it, I'm just bringing the externality into the equation.

If you speed, we ticket you. If you speed too much, we raise the price of your insurance. And so on. This is no different. Risks have costs, and you pay for the risk you create (when a choice is provided).
> Trampled by what? A stampede of equally qualified candidates? That's exactly my point.

From my understanding, your point is that people are doing this with malice with the conscious intention of hurting other people. That's very different from survival. I still also feel that's a baseless accusation.

> But give them $50k, $250k, $500k to spend on schooling and suddenly it leads to great differences in outcome.

The flaw in your logic is assuming that all or even most education is equal. Of course, because even if you don't take into account 'signalling' not all education is equal. Spending 160k on a technical diploma mill (yes these exist and they target the poor) is obviously going to net vastly different results from spending the same money on an Ivy League institution. In reality, the Ivy League university is probably going to cost a lot less if you're poor. (For the record, I attended a public uni). This is even more evident when you start looking at education outside of the US.
even better analogy is. Is the day to day impact of your own customized OS the same as windows. If the medical equipment ran independently we wouldn't have anything really to worry about.

No one is accepting the bad consequences of intent. However, you're not going to get any constructive conversation if you're going the route of a demagogue and just blindly applying a very strong, simple label on millions of people. Historically, that never turns out well. If anything this just distracts people from the actual problems that need to be solved.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of writing things that a demagogue would say. That was meant for Tycho, but I just wanted to make my stance more clear for you.

EDIT: My bad. You're right. There was no need to use demagogue; I'm also human as well. Like I said, it's very hard to have constructive conversation with strong accusations flying around.

EDIT: I could be wrong but you're not shadowbanned. To prevent conversations from spiraling out of control like they do elsewhere, HN limits replies for certain sized threads with a time limit so people can think straight before replying again.
Sure, it's an opioid. That's not the point. The point is that it's made from an inexpensive generic opioid feedstock: oxycodone. The supposed value-add isn't the painkiller, it's the timed-release agent.

Unless these reporters are simply lying, there's evidence of great variability in the effectiveness of that timed-release agent. But the company's market position depends on the 12-hour dose. If the drug's needed every six hours, the only difference between it and the cheap stuff is price. In that case, most doctors won't prescribe and most payers won't reimburse the expensive stuff.

So, a doctor can ask a patient, "are you willing to take a pill every six hours?" If the patient agrees, the prescription can be very inexpensive and effective. And, wide swings in blood concentration are controllable, which helps avoid both grogginess and withdrawal struggles.

A friend who develops instruments for anesthesiologists has told me that a well-controlled minimal effective dose of pain med works, and manages risk very well. Peoples' rates of clearing these compounds vary a lot, and the timed-release compound doesn't appear to reduce that variability, contrary to the what the marketer is implicitly claiming.

If the treatment is for acute short-term pain (post-op, etc) a six-hour regime isn't a big burden, and the reduced risk of addiction justifies some inconvenience.

If the treatment is for chronic pain, a wise patient and doctor might start by trying the more frequent doses, and move to "time-release" doses if the first treatment doesn't work. Patients and doctors tune their meds all the time. Why not start trying for minimal effective dose, and move to a more addiction-prone regime if the first one desn't work?

But that would foul up the business of Oxycontin's marketer.
