I prefer to be clear here and disclose my conflict of interest (since I work there) and that I speak for myself only. I'm not sure if it's required that I put it, but I prefer to be clear when it's topics related to Google.

Most companies I've ever worked at (like Cisco) are very explicit that you can't talk at all about stuff your company does (unless you are a VP or granted permission to talk on their behalf). You will see many Googlers talk on forums like this and they don't need permission, but are doing so on their own without the explicit permission from the company. Google seems to be open about letting us speak publicly about stuff our company does, but that we aren't speaking on their behalf. I feel it needs to be made explicitly clear to anyone reading it that it's my own opinion.
Interesting - yeah the big differentiater seems to be that with Bee you can get instant access to your check for 1%.

Simple has ATMs you can use for free which are pretty common which covers that and also has no overdraft fees (or concept of overdraft really).

Simple has no monthly fee though which is a point in its favor - it also lets you do most of the same thing (lock cards, mail a check etc.).
A Smart car is already fairly close to the pod concept in terms of form factor. Google Pods biggest difference is moving the seats further back. IMO, if Google get's the software down most company's could put out a self driving car within 1 or 2 model years. However, people are going to take much longer before people are going to take much longer before buying cars that can't be driven.

> Isn't a core tenant of DevOps that your developers are the ones doing the Ops too?

This isn't how it started.

"deliver a seminal talk known as “10+ Deploys per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr.” The talk is an energetic presentation in which Allspaw and Hammond basically act out the classic “fingerpointy” conundrum of Dev versus Ops—“It’s not my code, it’s your machines!” (and vice versa)—to a roomful of developers. They make the case that the only sensible way to build, test and deploy workable new software is to make development and operations transparent and integrated.

Honestly if you go back to the early 2000's Operations and Engineering were often playing the blame game if not at outright war. I can't tell you how many SA's told me to "file a ticket" when asking for basic factual information (not changes).

The idea of a "full stack" engineer is mostly a myth. If your starting out small hiring a generalist who can do it "all" is probably a good thing. The issue is finding folks who can do everything well is HARD. Once you hit a certain scale, you need people dedicated to each JOB (Front end, back end, operations, database, networking). When you get to the level of having a lot of specialists, having someone do "DevOps" to act as a bridge, to speak able to speak to specialists and convey issues can be vital.
Hm... I didn't realize that. I posted my summary because (1) the article was written in a very long-winded way, (2) the discussion here wasn't that good, and (3) I was trying to expose the (for me) most interesting aspect of the whole ecosystem, chemosynthesis - in hope of generating a bit more of discussion around that!
I was always fascinated by locomotive engines, particularly due to the engine and drive train combination. The statement above regarding full torque at 0 RPM is rather thought provoking if you've never looked at these systems. Imagine solving how to couple a mechanical transmission to thousands of ft-lbs of torque and the problem becomes very interesting which is why the decoupling is pretty cool. Yes, yes, there are mechanical transmission locomotives, but they are generally for light work comparatively.

I think there are a number of things going on here:

I think much of what the article is dancing around the entire time is that most philosophers/philosophy departments do not think this other philosophy is good/worth teaching.

Philosophy departments do not teach the Bible, they do not teach Ayn Rand. Both have some barely tangential relation to philosophy but are not particularly deep so as to even be worth reading as far as philosophy goes. I think the authors are trying to force philosophy departments to make this tacit claim they have always made silently out loud -- that Confucius, say, is just not as deep as Kant or Hegel.

Also primarily the history of philosophy is a conversation. In order to understand Nietzsche/Kierkegaard, you need to put them in context as responses to Hegel. They use technical Hegelian terms to craft their theories and responses, which you need to spend time grokking before you can make sense of anything that follows. Why do we cover Descartes' cogito rather than the floating man? Well, partially because it is better (he wrote it second, after all). But more importantly because of the hundreds of years of conversation that follows it as a jumping off point, because of the hundreds of brilliant philosophers it allows you to read, now in-context.

And philosophy tends to define the framework that all intellectual activity in a culture takes place. If you're interested in new theories and ideas in psychology, look to philosophy about a century prior and you'll find every single one lined up and argued exhaustively. A lot of the work of philosophy is to understand and challenge the way our culture thinks about things. Mencius would be very relevant when you try to understand Chinese culture, not so much ours. So in this sense the authors are correct I think, that some part of philosophy has this end goal of understanding the history and future of western thought and culture, for which non-western thought is a tangential oddity.
What makes you think the CEO tries to emulate Steve Jobs? It's not like she puts on a black turtle...

oh.
Royalties were fairly common in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. My own experience was from a game dev owned by Sierra/Vivendi and we not only received royalties for our games, but were given bonuses for games (namely Diablo and Half Life) under the larger umbrella. But as someone else mentioned it's not a straight % based on sales - they only kicked in at a certain point. And most games never hit that threshold.

These days royalties are pretty rare I think. But it's common to get stock and/or profit sharing in the form of annual bonuses based on how the company as a whole did. That's how EA works, for example.
This is true on an individual level, but I'm really wary about the sleight of hand where personal advice is used as a cure for societal problems.

Sure, your unemployed nephew could hustle hard enough to find a decent job, but that's not true for everyone's unemployed nephew all at once. Criticizing people for not finding jobs or starting companies doesn't fix structural issues - it's not going to solve Spain's 25% unemployment.
Said from a throwaway account?

It's likely possible to figure out your identity from what, when, and where you post online publicly... Especially by someone that has the resources to collect and data mine much of what is posted.

Would that be ok?

I don't think so, unless it's part of a legal and targeted investigation.
It's easy, continually study what interests you. Start this while you are young.

Work for smaller businesses that pay less, get the experience, and move on up.

They'd still be facing the same dealer and local legislative roadblocks that Tesla has been triggering states to create or enforce since they started and they can't just bully through that. It will require lobbying, time and possibly new legislation, none of which is fast.

Having Tesla front-run a lot of this stuff is pretty smart if they are intending to go that route though.
Seems like they are suggesting that Google Streetview cars aren't government spy vehicles. I had never come to that conclusion myself.
I have to ask: Why cars? Why are Google, Tesla and now Apple supposedly investing in cars?

From the European point of view cars seem to be a dead end. More and more people live in an urban area and more and more young people use public transportation way more often, than cars. Additionally carsharing makes owning a car in a german city kinda obsolete.

So... why cars?
Are animals in a cave like this considered endangered species?
I believe a lot in the value of undergraduate education in general as a time to learn how to think and even just grow up a bit and learn how to live independently and such. Even just exploring and figuring out what on earth you want to be when you grow up (at 34 I still struggle with that). Beyond that, internships really open doors. I think that some kind of post-secondary education is important - just do it reasonably in terms of course of study and cost. Take up a trade if you prefer, that's education as well. But do something to develop yourself - and I don't necessarily think going right into the corporate meat grinder is the best way to start since you'll get such a narrow view of the way to do things right out of the gate.

I do wish that we did gap years in the US like some countries do. If my daughter grows up and decides to take a year or two between high school and college, I'd be thrilled. Shit, I'd pay for it if she found something reasonably constructive to do. I'd have been way better off had I delayed my freshman year by 1-2 years - I had a great time, but I didn't go to class much.

I looked at 10,000 toy bricks and they were all green so I can say with great confidence that "All toy bricks are green."

That's an example inductive reasoning. It's quite flawed as a way of extrapolating from known information in to the unknown because it doesn't account for the things you don't know. In the same way, saying "Fake Facebook accounts post with this frequency or these few words" doesn't work, because it only considers the accounts that do. It can't detect the bots that don't.
> I'd also like to point out, its always been tough for young kids to get into the job market without college degrees.

No it wasn't, you're just not going back far enough. The 2000s (when you said you went to school) isn't far back enough. We're talking 1950's, 60's, 70's, 80's it definitely wasn't tough for a young person to get a job without a degree. 90's is when that started to change.

My dad actually quit going to college in the late 70's because grocery store jobs (cashier, stocking) were easy to get and were paying better than what he could expect with what he was studying in college. That's definitely not true anymore.
> like it was a TV show

It was plotted like a TV show and so rather than feeling fresh, I felt like I already knew what would happen. It was too predictable.

For example, at one point Ellie gets caught and wakes up in a cage. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and thing "gee, I wonder if she'll escape".

Like I said in another comment, I think the hype surrounding the game had set my expectations way too high and I ended up being disappointed in what was really a good game.
amazing post
I do almost the same as you, but with Firefox under Windows. A year ago I had to switch to the beta channel because the memory leaks in the "satble" version would crash it on restart (I have it configured to reload the previous session).

A few months later problems began with beta version. Things got nasty when they tried the multiprocess architecture (which luckily has disappeared for good). Now (v 47) they've found a sweet spot.

I have also slightly modified my usage patterns to mitigate the problem:

* I would open one "main page" (HN, for example) and keep that open, refreshing and loading tabs in that window related to news, discussions, posts, etc. I'd never close this tab/window. -> (what I suspect) this would cause FF to keep hundreds (thousands?) of URLs and state in memory to respond to the Shift+T (reopen tab) command.

* I now close the "main window" more often, and thus keep this behaviour at bay. This alone must be the one thing that impacted the browsers stability.

* I try to keep less than 6 windows open at the same time (one with my email accounts, facebook main page, etc, another one for reddit/HN, and then specific windows for different topics).

I haven't had to modify my habits any further fortunately. But I did use to have 20+ windows with ~20 tabs each in average.

Show HN: TrackStack – Easy Spotify playlist collaboration
Hey everyone,

TrackStack is a site I made to make it super easy to share a playlist and have others add to it. Those adding do not require a Spotify account. I have been testing it for a few weeks, allowing friends to add their own songs to a party playlist. It makes the process super simple.

If you want to try it out, feel free to add songs to my playlist:

Any feedback would be awesome!

Thanks!
Is it legal to replace the side mirrors with cameras? (Needs bigger displays for the driver.)
>>It's illegal to obfuscate them, so there's no way to conceal your identity like you can with some the CCTV stuff

You can form an LLC in a state that allows for some amount of anonymity, like New Mexico, and then register the vehicle under the LLC's name.

Edit: Nothing is fully anonymous, of course, so the government can backtrack it, but they probably don't bother unless there's some specific incident.

> public transportation

because private companies don't generally dabble in public infrastructure :)

I think at this point it's less about cars or electric cars, but more about self-driving cars(that happen to be electric). In the U.S. at least, we have a MASSIVE roadway infrastructure that's not going anywhere for a long time. Utilizing that probably looks like a much easier path to automated transportation than does building up the rather sparse network of railways.
The problem is that a thrown hand grenade is detectable by the system, but well under the limit.

One publicized case of a soldier in a vehicle "protected" by this system but killed by a tossed hand grenade or hit by a grenade launcher from long range (ordinary 40mm grenades are only fired at about 75 m/s at the muzzle), and there will be calls for this value to be adjusted.
^ This. Setup your .npmignore before publishing!

This is a long shot... But if you use Linkedin that could account for some of the videos. They recently added an autoplay feature for their videos on the home page that is very tedious to shut off. If you're logged into youtube on the same device it will play the videos and show up on your played videos on Youtube.
In that case, you misread what I said. I stated it was possible to monetise the research results. In other words, you can take what you find in the lab and find ways to sell this knowledge. It doesn't matter whether that's through licensing or physical products.
The car industry is about to go through two completely independent revolutions simultaneously. The move to electric power trains, and self-driving. This is the perfect time for an outsider to enter the market because the incumbents have no advantage in these fields relative to a newcomer. In fact as fundamentally hardware companies they have the same issues with figuring out how to develop first class software that the phone companies did.

Apple has huge expertise in both these areas. Not electric motors sure, but electronics design and manufacturing in general and specifically battery technology on the power train side and software on the self-driving side.

But the key to their potential is software. I think the main reason for Apple's success is their super high quality OS core, code libraries and software development tool chain combined with one of the greatest software engineering culture and talent pools on the planet. They have exploited this advantage ruthlessly ever since the 90s. It underlies the success of all their best products - even the iPod if you bear in mind that iTunes was built on these core advantages. Yes iTunes is a mess now, but it made the success of the iPod possible.

The key to success in the coming car revolution will be software. Computers will control and orchestrate every aspect of the internal operation of the vehicle, and that's before you even get to external operations with self-driving. Only Microsoft has the depth of software development competence and the technology platform resources to compete with Apple in this area, but for whatever reason they just don't seem to be able to get their act together when it comes to engineering complete product stacks rather than individual technologies.
Right, I recall a story being run about the blocking of the Eggplant emoji as a search term on Instagram.
Interesting bit from the FAQ:

"We rely heavily on Docker and Docker Swarm for containers, orchestration and networking. Other pieces of tech we use are Consul for service discovery and gRPC with Protobuf for the RPC."

Awesome that it's using gRPC under the hood. But, I'm still missing if there's an orchestration service running somewhere that takes care of the load balancing, or if it's distributed?

"When deploying Lever, you allocate a number of servers to it. Lever can then manage resources and auto-scale services running on it - but this is only limited to the servers you have allocated to it."

It would be awesome (and critical to our use case) if it could provision instances, even if it's via a shell command manually entered into a config file. From the stack description quoted above, it sounds like it would do okay if it was coupled with an autoscaling group that does this function for now...

Finally, I love the sticky resource routing, with the use case being data sharding.

Excited to try this out.
I was just acknowledging that the need may exist in the worst possible cases. For the greater sake of demolishing the (perceived) justifications that are touted for this largely wasteful, predatory and vindictive practice.
Paramount is a subsidiary of Viacom, which does care about ad blocking.

Here's an interview where the CEO fields a question about the topic: http://www.businessinsider.com/viacom-bob-bakish-interview-2...

"Some of the traditional — dare I say — mediums like television remain very healthy and very attractive for advertisers because they're not subject to the whims of adblocking."
I wish that Apple would still allow the force-touch trackpad feature on 3rd party keyboards. I've gotten so used to having it that it makes it difficult to consider using any other keyboard other than the stock one.
Exactly, if your definition of serverless != decentralized I don't know what you are talking about.
This is definitely a concern, but depending on your state education is a distorted market. Where I grew up, 8-12 educators (even most private ones) had to have a teaching degree and a subject matter degree.

As a result, pretty much all of them had either a subject Bachelor's and an advanced degree in teaching, or a teaching BS and a subject Masters. A double major would have been fine, but that's rare. The regulatory landscape had basically enforced teaching as a two-degree profession.
I don't think trademarks are restricted like that. Don't you have to actually be engaged in trade to violate a trademark?
Knowing who to talk to about a given issue (for a large company). Since you say "new career", I assume you're starting a new job somewhere. I work for a fairly large organization that's heavily silo'd with regards to responsibilities. When something goes wrong, I often have to work with 4 or 5 departments, each of which has some folks who are helpful and folks who are 'blockers'. Figuring out who the right folks to talk to for a given issue can make the difference between solving something in minutes or hours (days). Likewise, making sure folks know my responsibilities and when to bug (or, more importantly, not bug) me.

Know your domain tools and always be looking for new (to you) ones. If you're new and in the linux sysadmin domain, you'll be doing a lot of "oh wow, I didn't know about XYZ". Find the old stuff that's been around forever (and likely installed everywhere) before jumping on the new hotness that'll require big changes to your systems to install. I like HN for some of this. Read the comments for the 'vim/tmux/bash/cron/git guide' entries that get reposted every few weeks. I guarantee somewhere in the comments, you'll find something you didn't know that'll help.

Scripting tedious tasks is huge. Learning the bits of shell/perl/python/ruby/whatever that interact with the tasks you do day-to-day can be very beneficial. Automate all the things.

Imagine this future in Europe: pretty much no one owns a personal car. When you want to go somewhere you order a car on your phone and within 10 minutes a driverless car arrives and takes you to your detination. Your music plays through the sound system. The back seat is comfy and you have plenty of room to work or surf the internet. The trip could be to the hardware store, or hundreds of miles to visit family.

They don't note from what speed and that seems like a basic physics violation to me on several points.

1 - the mass of the vehicle doesn't change significantly (they claim a 2k lb reduction in cab weight)

2- the limiting factor in truck accidents I have seen is tire grip not braking capacity

I would love for this to be real, I think it is an idea with great potential and a useful and disruptive use of hybrid technology...but this company sounds like pure vaporbsware to me. They claim typical rigs last 500k miles which seems seriously low to me
There is a contrarian argument that self-driving cars will actually INCREASE the demand for vehicles. If a vehicle is self-driving, it can not only act as a taxi, but also act as cargo transporter, delivery guy, etc.
