Ask HN: Is it advisable to develop a high-scale website using only AWS Lambda?
My company (big internet player) is about to create a new product that will scale up to millions of requests per day in 1 year. But, for starters, we are a very small team, with no dedicated DevOps. At this point, I'm considering leveraging AWS Lambda architecture for everything: from front-end web UI delivery to back-end event-driven jobs, at least for the initial stages (MVP) of product development. Is this too risky?
I was just being facetious. Usually financial disclosures are a couple of lines. President Obama, being the president and having to fill those forms out every year, just sent them his most recent filing (past years are linked from this blog post https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2016/05/16/president-and-vic...)
I think this is the real win here. Like most legislation ACA is a complex combination of good and pad parts, but the fact that people with pre-existing conditions or terminal illnesses can still get health insurance for treatment is a huge step forward for our society as a whole.

Like the report said, there's still progress to be made.

Prosciutto is basically defined by its lack of gluten, as prosciutto made with gluten would be worth labeling, no?

Oatmeal is not defined by lack of GMO.

Labeling deviation from what came before and is widely expected to be the case now is the heuristic I have in mind.

Atomic.io releases plugin for Sketch
Thank you for spelling this out.

IMHO most of the world runs on project management, social skills, soft skills, "changing the world" by making a better mouse trap, increasing the conversion rate by 0.5%, decrease the customer support response cycle by 2.5 minutes and satisfaction/loyalty survey by 3 points.

I think most people has moved onto (1) because of the universal adoption of the web. (1) makes the most splashes because it's more relatable, accessible and dare I say, more profitable? However (2) still exists, but seems they've declined because in the late 90's, they seemed to be the dominant icons/heroes of computing (Phrack/2600, compare to today's "founders"); it takes more fortitude and individual direction to push yourself to dive deeper into the stack and take on more kernel and distributed computing problems, without the extrinsic reward of money.

In a sense, it's kinda of students choosing business consulting vs. going into (pure science or humanities, not pre-professional) grad school.
Because humans, without regulation, don't value vehicle safety. Gotcha.

> Why do you need rustup if Rust is so backward compatible

To cross compile. To have quick toolchain updates. To get bleeding edge compiler improvements (e.g. speed) quickly. To test out new features. To help find bugs in the compiler.

One very common use case of rustup is to use clippy. Clippy is a developer tool which hooks directly into the compiler and uses all sorts of private APIs, an inherently unstable thing. It only works on nightly. Lots of people write their code to work on stable, but want to use this tool so they use rustup. Note that no language has a stable way of hooking into the compiler.

Very few rust packages only work with nightly. Care to provide some examples?

You are right about the compiler changes but even so you can't compare 1-2 compiler BK with Rust which has language changes as well. Compiler changes are the norm in Rust.

>> The parts of the Rust standard library that are marked stable have remained completely backwards compatible, in both interface and implementation.

This looks like a breaking change on a stable API. Am I wrong?

LinkedIn has roughly 10k employees - they're in an arms race for office space with Google and Apple in the area, but it sounds like this agreement should resolve most of the issues with Google and LinkedIn. Being that LinkedIn's headquarters is currently blocks away from the Googleplex and considering Google's dominance of the land north of the 101, it has left LinkedIn with little room to grow in its main cluster of buildings, and so it has been forced to look in Sunnyvale. Unfortunately, Apple has also expanded quite significantly into Sunnyvale in search of more land.
What iPhone do you have?
There is a huge difference between preventing fraud and what we have today, and you know that.
I am guessing that it is used in Valve games..
Rust has rfcs, and many of the "breaking changes" are in places where the implementation didn't follow the RfC. Others were in things that were never intended to compile. Its effectively the same thing.

For me, that's a godsend regarding the alternative workflows and other tools. My peer lecturers value it a lot, too. But of course, we are all CS lecturers^^ For other people a hosted solution might be a really interesting choice!

Why don't they just build taller buildings?
Does Rust have a formal specification?
As an Xoogler, I think this is great news. By the time I left a year ago, there were far too many far-flung buildings in Sunnyvale, with new ones opening all the time (and my group was -- and still is -- slated to move into exile in Sunnyvale).

These were the worst of both worlds -- you still had to deal with a Bay Area cost of living and commute, but you were too far to easily collaborate with other groups, or take advantage of events & resources on the main GooglePlex (TGIF at Charlies, author talks, various events, picking up dogfood hardware, etc.) Not to mention fragmented bus routes.
Of Meat and Men: The Story of Two Pitmasters (2012)
> People are still sure that MSG will slowly kill them, when it's actually been proven to be 100% harmless as far as we know. You still see "No MSG" labels on tons of food.

"People" is sure of that... and so what? Food with additives sell. Have a walk in the street and observe what's the volume of organic (I'm using "additive-free-as-possible" for comparison purposes) food sold against "regular" one.

Talking at home about good intentions, irrational fears and so on translates little to purchasing habits. I actually heard only two people in my life talking about MSG, and only one is the "food hipster" who doesn't buy.

Of course, cases like associating skulls and crossbones with microwave ovens are an entirely different story.

> so you can more easily wage your political campaign from the comfort of your local Whole Foods.

I'm not sure if you're intentionally disingenuous here; the supermarket (generalizing, purchasing of goods) is actually the least comfortable place where to wage political campaigns, because it's the place where one puts the money where the mouth is if he really believes in his ideas, and doing so is expen$ive.

> Totally harmless but the food hipsters wouldn't shut up until we forced everyone to read this stupid label.

Let me make sure I understand you correctly.
In the jar of yogurt I have in front of me, whose main readable are is ~250 cm², an OGM writing would take an estimated 0.8 cm² (it would necessarily follow the typical guidelines of mandatory warnings), and it would also be in a part which has no immediate visibility. I therefore exclude that as "forcing everyone to read".
I also extremely rarely see advertisements in the supermarkets with warnings - this would cannibalize a part of their own offer.

Can you explain who and how would exactly "force" the public to read such warnings?

Note that of course some food would, for marketing purposes, shovel "GMO free" in shiny colours. That's advertisement, it's not government-regulated mandatory warning.
Embracing, perhaps; extinguishing seems unlikely, given Microsoft's recent support of R in the likes of SQL Server and PowerBI.
Same here, my parents were in the "make too much to receive government assistance but not enough to pay for private insurance healthcare" group, now with the ACA they finally have health insurance after nearly a decade of going without it.

And in response to the parent, are there problems with the ACA? Of course, but let's iterate on it, instead of dismissing it completely because you happen to be one of the few who doesn't benefit from it.
Mobile UX Design: Key Principles
We have some users who have automated rejoin. This might actually make sense in the cloud, where you just spin up another pristine instance.

Personally, when a node fails, I still want to try to understand why before I take the next operational step.

Thanks for your words, BTW.
Another question is that determining what is sensitive information is a bit complicated… But there is an option of asking the user to edit URL to find anonymous enough form of the bug trigger. Maybe after doing some basic fuzzing (like replacing runs of alphanumerics with random runs of alphanumerics of the same length, if possible).
I followed all the links in this article and watched Alexander's TEDx talk. The only "link" I could find is a rather loose one, mentioned at the end of the TEDx talk[1]. A cyclic ('big bounce') cosmology is proposed as a solution to the fine-tuning problem, and this is likened to a jazz soloist trying different things over a repeated chord progression.

The associated paper[2] doesn't mention jazz or music.

Perhaps a tighter crossover between physics and music lies in the use of Grassmann algebra to study both scattering amplitudes[3] and musical scales[4][5].

>These and related reforms have contributed to a sustained period of slow growth in per-enrollee health care spending

Has the rate of change in insurance premiums or healthcare spending actually slowed? I don't see it in any of the data presented.
you're spot on here, have some relevant experience, I tried to stay above board and not 'cheat' but quickly changed my tune as our competitors started eating us. Don't think the FTC knows how deep this rabbit hole goes. It's play dirty or die 100%.
Good point. So the assumption to defer tax must be that your tax rate will go down because your withdrawal tax bracket will be smaller than your current income bracket?
Ask HN: How to not be bored doing a similar project in my company?
I'm in robotics, less than a year of experience.
My team worked on a project and we are almost finishing. My company sold the same technology to a competitor, so basically, we're gonna do a similar product, with a big chance it's gonna be the same (words from my manager).

I understand, it's the best case for the company and it's how a company grows but more selfishly, won't I get bored ?
Of course I didn't see every aspect of the project, of course I don't know much compared to the whole but I'm afraid my manager will assign me at the same tasks, since I'll be faster doing them.

I am always seeking challenges and this is how i don't get bored. From my point of view, the only way to not be is to be fast enough to be on tasks that should be assign to colleagues having more knowledge. If I'm fast enough, they'll may be busy and thus I'll have the task assigned.

I feel I worry for nothing but I'm not sure. How can I make the best of this situation ?

Edit: there is a contract close, so we had to "restart "
The land they just gave to Google was going to be used for more buildings. I doubt they were going to build skyscrapers, nor could they with the amount of additional parking space that would be needed. The North Bayshore area isn't really accessible except by highways, and even those are pretty much at capacity - in fact, the city council has approved only a limited amount of office space due to the strain on transportation infrastructure.
On the risk that I may sound to much like from the ivory tower but doing something out of the blue is not more ethical (why should it?). But you may end paralyzed and need help by other people, very clever. And the amount people at home can contribute to science is negleable. How much do all the at home car tuners contribute to new cars?! Is it ethical to built new superfast cars on your own ground so you one day can build a faster ambulance? Right, it is not. Just because this kind of research is somewhat new, it does not mean it is easy or you just have to invest sometime to revolutionize the world.

Somewhat parallel, people also critize WebMD. Obvoiusly, scientists want their finding to be used but in a reasonable matter, not without context and into the blue. And publications are (among scientists) are rendered not that important (and everyone knows that). It is just that you get judged by them, so you do them and as good as you can. As a software engineer you also at some point finish your project, although you could obtimize on it for ever.

Yeah, in my field (astronomy) that would have also merited co-authorship. But, I think standards vary wildly. In astronomy, many co-authors' contributions consist solely of commenting on nearly-finished manuscripts. Some friends in ecology think that's way too generous and would instead just acknowledge people for their comments.
Not OP, but first few chapters of http://rustbyexample.com/ seem much less steep than The Book (to me). Would also appreciate other guides... (coming from C / Java / PHP / Python myself)
Why are we going to end up with single payer? I didn't follow that part of your argument.
I upvoted your comment even though (as a generalization) I disagree that these chapters should even exist as such. If were truly honest about the civil engineering metaphor as it applies to software, the design of a system is indeed the source code. The construction phase is done by the compiler. So your construction chapter should be about compilers and interpreters. Your design chapter should be about the explication of the stakeholder's intent in the form of human-readable code: the source code itself. What do you think?
Antibiotics resistance is getting stronger, probably because people eat a lot of meat which is full of antibiotics. Because they feed animals with antibiotics to grow faster and bigger. People should really think what food they put in their body and less about some magic pill.

All I see when I read that is, it should be my choice to kill hundreds of millions of people. This is about more than say the deaths from say the Holocaust, this is about more lives than where lost in all of WWI and WWIII combined.

Antibiotics have already saved ~200 million lives, 80% of their use is in livestock, and they are of limited long term value. A reasonable guess is a Billion+ lives hang in the balance.
Prior to the ACA, many states offered High Risk Pools to cover people in your situation. Were these not applicable in your case?

> The ACA was a sham; it measures the insured rate, not the ability of citizens to receive the care they need. On that metric, its failing terribly.

The citizens of Mountain View want nothing to do with tall buildings. They only have a handful that are over 5 stories.

A 12-story building was planned back in 2012 and they almost had a protest over it. The name of the town is 'Mountain View' and not 'city skyline view', after all.
MyFiber
Biggest question I had when I first arrived in bay area. Gov. Regulation are the reason why it is a bit harder to have taller buildings, tech companies have lot of money to go for more land grab is the main reason.

If you are building a building with X floor area the city government requires you to have f(x) area as open land. If you want to build a very tall building it will have to look like the Saruman's Tower. This regulation is part of the reason why Sunnyvale or Mountain View do not look like SF. It is also the reason why property prices are so expensive. The good part however is that it means less crime, better neighbourhoods and overall good quality of life.

Totally agree. However, in the context of whether you can do business with your family members, you probably already know them well enough to make that assessment.
Of course LinkedIn is now owned by Microsoft. Maybe they are moving to Redmond.
> If I contribute to my environment, I'm improving my own situation.

Yes, but a truly selfish person could improve their personal situation much more effectively by pillaging the commons, since any contribution you make to the environment is shared, but any money you can put in your pocket is for you alone.

The fact that you even think about the environment shows that you either don't have a easy way to profit from environmental degradation, or you're not a rational purely selfish utilitarian.

> What I'm saying is that it's possible to love yourself and serve yourself while still making things better for everyone without any kind of contradiction in motivation.

It's possible, but that just shows that you're not a truly selfish person since doing that takes more work. Truly selfish people think of ways to benefit themselves first, without regard for its impact on others.

> more a symptom of lack of long-term planning

If that were really the case, then over a long period of time you'd expect corporations that were bad at long term planning to get evolutionarily selected out. The fact that this doesn't happen means that either you're wrong, or there are very strong evolutionary forces that support short-term thinking.
