Kubernetes is a big exception to this, it seems. Before Kubernetes was announced, CoreOS was actively developing fleet. After Kubernetes, fleet development was largely halted and is now just a "distributed init system for low-level cluster components," e.g. a way to bootstrap Kubernetes itself. I asked the lead developer of fleet if they would have created it if Kubernetes had existed at the time, and he said no. Kubernetes has turned into a big part of the CoreOS pitch, and they've contributed a lot to the project. Giving up a project you started in house because you recognized that another organization's project fit the bill better is very far from NIH.

Please email me directly (my HN username)@crowdstrike.com if interested.
Not Spam issue itself, but there's been a lot of spammy bot accounts created on many domains, which is the reason why In-Band registration is disallowed on most of the public domains. It has also been said that when Google still federated, a major part of the federation was for spam accounts to connect to Google, and only very few actual humans used federation, so they just cut it.
Except that Netflix and even Apple iTunes show that if you price your content to be reasonable and allow people to actually choose what they want to watch, read or hear when they want to do so you can actually make a lot of money. And you don't have to show ads.
I use Ad Blockers because - for me - find something browsing the web is like run into a street artist performing while I'm walking around my city.

Often the artist didn't contribute to build the city in which he's performing (taxes, etc...). He is just using an already crowded street. I don't wont to be obligated to be distracted by commercial ads.

Off course, after seeing the performance I'll be happy to donate some money or to support the artist in some way.
I'd say this problem is best solved not by having no cryptographic identities, but by using disposable identities.

If you bound an identity cryptographically to your real name, that's permanent -- no getting around it. We all make mistakes. However, one of the benefits of Urbit is that you can build a reputation around a pseudonym that isn't linked to your real-life identity.

There's a place for the 4chans of the world, with totally disposable one-time identities. You can do this with Urbit as well -- use a 128-bit self-signing identity (comet). But most people tend to want a little more stability and permanence.
This is the oft-repeated argument in favor of Uber ("they're a logistics company!"), and to be honest, it's quite hand-wavey.

Why is the expertise they have built up in car-hailing directly applicable to other logistics problems, and what advantage will they have going in that creates a barrier to entry for newcomers?

I think there is one answer to this for Uber, and its the same strategy Amazon stumbled into: have your "main" business be breakeven, but provide the scale needed for a pure profit business. In Amazon's case, the main business is retail and the profit center is AWS.

In Uber's case, this would look like individual ride-taking customers providing the demand to keep a critical mass of drivers on the road. This business is breakeven at best, likely slightly money-losing (sorry folks, but an increases in ride costs will quickly stamp out demand to pre-Uber days).

Then, with this "infrastructure" of drivers on the road, they can leverage it into nearly pure profit areas like last-mile delivery.

There's a huge catch, though. Amazon just has to buy new machines every 3-5 years. Uber's driver turnover is much much higher, and is absolutely killing them. All the claims of profitability are deceptive, because they assume current demand with current set of drivers; those statements do not factor in driver recruitment costs next month, or tomorrow.

Unfortunately this appears on the surface to be a structural problem. Current pay with driver-owned vehicles is probably not a long-term or full-time possibility for most candidate drivers.

Edit: to save a step, the predictable response to my objection is always, "but... self-driving cars!"

Why did you think Facebook wouldn't do that? In their view, any content you provide to their site becomes their property. Why wouldn't that include conversations. Considering the fact that everything is unencrypted once it reaches Facebook, it's a mistake to assume good faith on the part of a company that makes its living trying to make you spend more of your life on their website.
Unprotected bike lanes are scary. I avoid them whenever possible for the reason you mentioned.

Hello,
I'm a Seattle-based engineer working on a decision-ranking system that scores options, by aggregating data from the web, and also allows users to do task tracking on the options they choose to pursue.

This is a pretty interesting concept with applicability to a range of domains. For example, imagine automatically ranking the "fit" of tech job postings, by comparing information gleaned from the post and other web sources (e.g., Joel test info, GlassDoor info, etc.) to your personal weighted criteria, and then tracking your applications and communications with the top ranked employers all in one place.

I'm looking to link up with two other co-founders (preferably based in Seattle):

1. A semi-technical generalist who is good at ideation and can see the big picture in terms of product/market fit and the like, but also has a decent understanding of the technical side of things

2. A good marketing/salesperson, not necessarily a person with a formal background in sales, but someone who can clearly communicate the value in a product and build relationships with customers

Please send a message to my email (in my profile) or reply here, if interested. If you are in Seattle, we can arrange to get together soon to discuss in more depth.

In the store-services team @ WalmartLabs, we build tools that bring the in-store shopping experience on par with shopping online. If enhancing real-world experiences with technology is your passion, keep on reading!

We are nimble team operating like a startup, with the resources of a large company (allowing us, for example, to support open-source software). We control our product roadmap and development cycles. Most of us have worked at startups before. To achieve our vision of a unified shopping experience, we are building a team of excellent node.js developers and that is where you come in. We are looking for backend engineers with the following skills:

* Strong experience in server-side programming. Proficiency in a scripting language, preferably node.js

* Experience in designing clean REST APIs

* Experience in building fault-tolerant, high performance distributed systems

* Comfort with GIT

* Simple & fast deployments

* Comfort with the /nix environment and configuring it with tools like puppet, chef or fabric

* Having contributed to open source community. Reference to an active github repo is a big plus!

If this role excites you, drop us a line. We love what we do and are happy to chat! Feel free to reach me (Eytan) directly at edaniyalzade@walmartlabs.com.

Yes, you are right, rail service is (still) sparse in LA -- despite the new lines.

More often than not, Google Maps (I assume you're referring to) does about as good a guesstimate as any human in the area would.

I'm starting to feel like some good old brains would serve us well sometimes. Take Google Maps' traffic again, it can tell me the traffic now. It can tell me expected traffic tomorrow. But it doesn't understand that if I depart at 8am and I arrive at 10am, then at 9am that traffic jam is worse than when I departed. I'm better at planning this route myself this way. Kudos to the people who built the whole model (almost certainly using some sophisticated algorithms) that automatically detects traffic when there's enough data, probably correlating it with their map data and stuff, but this is an elementary feature apparently nobody there thought to implement. It's not all just training sets and enough CPU power, some human intelligence to provide it with the concept of time would be smart, too.

Now this might seem like one silly example, but in many cases it's like this. People promote machine learning and neural nets and all sorts of automated training in situations where some research and an if statement or five would have worked as well.

Another simple example: we had security monitoring class and one of the topic was machine learning. Let your intrusion detection system learn normal traffic patterns and alert on, say, traffic spikes on Sunday nights when there should be few if any people working. I feel like looking at traffic data and some if statements would be more useful, especially since you can then integrate it with holidays and events and whatnot. Indeed, one of the warnings in the course was that "during events this will go off as well". Yeah, that's why we shouldn't use it here in the first place. This just a hammer and screw issue.

This is going to sound amusing at best, but would you clarify what it means to boot?

To justify the question a bit: booting traditionally meant physically turning a system on. The boot time included BIOS initialization, a concept now blurred by the advent of virtualization.

150ms is such an absurdly short amount of time that I'm left wondering what booting is in this context.

So... tell me where I'm wrong here ( please! ).

The principal manner in which our use of fossil fuels is expressed is that there were 1B people in 1790 and now there are 7B.

The "good" news is that birth rates appear to be declining in regions which are not reminiscent of Malthusian heck-holes.

But mainly, I see a strongly inverse correlation between the level of apocalyptic doom in a story and its likelihood. This has more to do with us as narrative-oriented animals than anything else.

The other thing is: If one wishes to engineer an Malthusian heck-hole, all one need do is raise apocalyptic narratives to the point to which Something Involving The Use of AK-47s ( or reasonable facsimile thereof ) By 14 Year Old Children Must Be Done.
