This attitude is destroying their ecosystem. Many integrating authors (not going to name names, but plugins, et al) are feeling the heat and focusing their efforts on Kube and Mesos because Docker will just replace your shit with a half-baked thing in 6 months and everyone will flock to that.

Conversely, it's not been a surprise for those of us embedded in this community for a long time to see Kube and rkt join forces. There are a ton of both technical and political decisions behind this and unfortunately most of the political barriers end in the name Hykes.

When I looked last AWS EC2 isn't just 30-40% more expensive than renting a dedicated server, but
up to 5-10x as expensive.

And if you're using a lot of outgoing traffic, AWS gets even worse in comparison.
Mirror Trades and Tax Tricks
Not convinced it can really become common.

Hacking can make attribution very hard and in certain jurisdictions (Russia), many intrusions aren't even illegal, and when they are, very hard to prove even if you know the culprit.

A transaction on a US stock market on the other hand is very easy to track (based on very heavy regulations on Know Your Customer, and regulators can search in minutes who shorted a given stock on a given day) and market abuses laws themselves carry multiple years jail sentences for insider dealing.

So for a hacker to profit from short-selling, he has to take considerably more risks. Much easier to sell the data to a competitor or anyone else.
I have none. Is this considered suspicious?
I've been researching this a lot lately. So this could be from other posts on HN, other forums, or blog posts... most of this is probably not my original thoughts.

First the right co-founder would be a lot like you. Compatible communication styles and temperament. If one of you likes to "call it like it is" and the other is more gentle, things won't go well. You don't have to be identical, but close enough to not waste time fixing your relationship every day.

Second, the right co-founder will be the opposite of you. In terms of skills, opposites are good. You're good at development? You need them to be great at something entirely different.

If you met your best friend because you worked side-by-side doing the same job and do everything together, probably not a good cofounder. But if you have a former colleague that you worked with, you got along great, but you were in sales and he was a developer -- that might be a match made in heaven.

I like to think of it like a marriage. My wife doesn't mind doing the things I hate (cook, clean, etc) and I love doing the things she hates doing (going to work, doing finances, etc). We communicate well, get along great, and the responsibilities are easy to split.
Python for noob
I want to learn Python for web scraping and some basic website. I am 28 years old. I don't know any programming language. What resources would you suggest?
Why don't you ask those people? Or explain your signaling mechanism a bit more.
What brought on higher wages and other more employee friendly practices was economic growth. As it becomes more profitable to have employees, businesses have to pay more to get them. They pay in money but also in other benefits, like shorter working hours.

Now, if unions demand improvements during times of economic growth, and get them, they will of course claim they caused them.

You're probably not convinced, but that's enough for now :)

It's basically the fate of "discovered" people everywhere. Various native groups around the world would probably have beaten off conquistadors etc if it wasn't for the diseases they brought with them.
No IE support and only Safari 10 beta (so no iPhone mobile)? I don't want to be rude but here is where I'm out. Even for a hobby projects I can't see myself using this. At work I have to support Evergreen and >=IE-2 (soon to just be IE-1) but even if we aren't talking about work I don't think I could convince myself to use something with such a small audience and something that won't work on my fully updated phone. I;m glad I scrolled down to read that before spending much more time reading about it.
My guide for a company in decline--and more pointedly for when it's time to leave--is the bullshit/productivity ratio. How much time are you being asked to spend on bullshit that doesn't get product out the door vs. real work on product? If b/p is high, that's a red flag. Now look at the first time derivative of b/p. Is b/p increasing or decreasing with time? If it's increasing, that's a bigger red flag. If it's decreasing, maybe the problems are getting fixed and you should consider sticking around. Finally, if b/p' is positive look at the second derivative. Is b/p accelerating or decelerating? If the former, LEAVE NOW. If the latter, maybe b/p is approaching an asymptotic level you an live with. Or not.
Yep. Happened to me. They bought the sales guy (owner's daughter's boyfriend) a Porsche while cutting hours for the engineers. I bounced outta there before the next pay period. Last I heard they took away the 401k but are still having the company summer picnic at the owner's Polo Club. Screw that place.

It's an array of 10 or so cameras shooting at 1fps at high res. Quite a lot of data generated over a day :) For smaller areas tethered drones would be interesting. I guess the main limitation is that most crime is committed at night when visibility is low.

It wouldn't be super hard to DIY this btw - there are good open source stitching and tracking algos, and many cameras that can shoot at high res at 1fps
You must have play fought with your dog from time to time though, right? You certainly have an idea of your relative strengths. How does it usually go?

I've had dogs and had experience with many more, often playing very rough with them, and I've had to break up fights between dogs which generally meant me being directly in the middle. A dog is remarkably easy to pin and subdue such that they are completely at your mercy and those teeth can't do one bit of good.

Yes, if it's a dog that actually wishes you harm you're going to get chewed up in the process, but still - worst case, as long as you keep your head you can end the fight with at worst a chewed up arm.

Btw, I completely agree with what the survival manual says, including if there's two dogs.

I maintain that a wolverine that actually wanted to kill you would be a completely different story. WTF would you do? I have no idea. How would you fight an animal that's been known to kill bears? Dogs (singly) don't fight bears and win, ever. Wolverines do.

Which would you rather fight?
Why is this a silly argument? For me the negatives far outweigh the positives in regards to visiting this country. Why should I take my hard earned money and spend it in a country that*s politics and human rights issues I despise?

“Please enter information associated with your online presence—Provider/Platform—Social media identifier.”

'voidz' is an indicator of online presence. If you omit it you have lied on your application, which is sufficient grounds for rejection of entry or removal from the USA.
Seems a little suspicious, considering you're making the claim via social media.
> There is an obvious reason to oppose such things: opportunity cost. learning anything takes time, and the curriculum is full.

The way I see it the bigger bottleneck is not time but motivation. You can fill a whole day with studies that a student isn't interested in and end up getting nowhere, or you can spend an hour on a topic that is able to hold a student's fascination--I would pick the latter any day. Engagement is simply a prerequisite for meaningful learning at scale; without it progress is slow and uneven at best.
> Also starting to wonder why people would still bother going to the USA, as there are several risks involved. Maybe small, but they do still exist.

We're discussing exactly to start removing those risks.
>Even reptiles should recognize that an unhappy staff adds drastically to turnover, recruiting costs, and organizational turmoil. While reducing the quality, effectiveness, and creativity of the output. And human beings might consider treating staff well just because they're fellow human beings.

I think it's because human beings en masse are extremely reluctant to admit being wrong. Very few are able to say "Oh shit, I am being an asshole and hurting my own company! Gotta change my ways before it's too late!". Almost everyone can say "It's so hard to find good help nowadays, all my employees are whinny entitled douches who demand too much for the little work they do! Gotta toughen up our interview process to get better employees before it's too late!".

At least in my experience, the toughest interviews I had were invariably at the shittiest firms.
Saying it uses Machine learning is a bit sensationalized, this seems to just give you static guidelines.

This isn't preventing murders. They didn't even know a murder happened until after they found the body. Nobody was able to pick that up on the footage until after the fact.

With that said, if you're doing a drug deal and don't want to be murdered, why would you do it indoors? Also, to murder someone indoors, you need access to a building, which really tends to limit the number of viable suspects (if it's a private place) or produce a lot of witnesses (if it's a public place.) The murder happened in an alley because nobody is watching the alley. There aren't a lot of indoor spaces that aren't being watched by someone.

Check out my site: IndieHackers.com. There are some great examples there. After conducting the interviews found there, I agree with people who emphasize marketing over development. You need to work on something that solves a well-defined and valuable problem for a segment of people, and you need to know channels through which you can share it with these people.
Hi!

Proxies are used to support advanced data binding with this helper repo: https://github.com/RisingStack/nx-observe. It allows to bind on getter/setter, inherited or expando properties and it is something that differentiates it from the others.

Browser support is coming in the future and I don't want to ditch this if I don't have too. The project is in alpha and Safari support is coming even before it will reach beta. I am grateful for all the feedback though.
Ask HN: How to find remote software engineering job in India?
I currently work in US, but I plan to go in India in next few months to take care of my parents.
How can I find software job that I can work from home in India? I have 8 years of experience in backend development.
What other countries are on your personal blacklist? I would imagine that either your list is very long and allows you very little international travel, or you are overestimating the problems in the US. (Which wouldn't be hard to do, especially if you're determined to never visit for yourself and just watch the news instead.)
There are a few companies that totally get it though. Protolabs has an amazing service, it is highly automated so you save the programming costs that makes local CNC manufacturing so high. They are limited in the features, but for the majority of things they are fast and reasonably priced for low quantity. There are similar services for sheet metal I've used as well.

However even with that service, I have a CNC machining place I use in China that will beat even automated vendors. It takes 6 days to ship instead of 3, but the prices are generally lower, they can do a lot more finishing, they can do much more complicated machining and higher tolerances.

I feel bad for our local CNC guy as he rarely gets any work from us anymore. He has always had our best interests in mind, and has bailed us out on many occasions. He just cannot meet the lead times we can get elsewhere, we cannot afford to wait 2-3 weeks for a part when we can get it in a week. His prices are also higher, but that really wasn't what drove us elsewhere.
lodash.throttle is a standalone zero-dependency package of just the throttle module. The `lodash` package is a collection of modules one of which is `lodash/throttle`.

You can generally get smaller bundles using `lodash/xyz` modules over the `lodash.xyz` packages because of plugins like:

https://github.com/lodash/babel-plugin-lodash

https://github.com/lodash/lodash-webpack-plugin

Though in the future lodash-webpack-plugin may support `lodash.xyz` packages too.
> Do good things

I think popular ones would be more accurate.
My skills sound similar to yours (full-stack w- devops) and I do freelance development on the side. Before the economy crashed, I had 2 clients. One paying $120/hr USD, the other $60/hr USD.

After the crash, I couldn't find anyone who would pay over $40/hr. Now things are slowly getting better; I have 2 clients paying $40/hr and one paying $60/hr.

I've never done any advertisement, basically these are people saying, "please help me". They have reached out through a friend of a friend looking for someone they could trust.

Since this isn't a make-or-break situation for me financially, we tend to agree on a price that they are comfortable with. These days my starting figure is $60/hr and I go down from there.

To be able to do marketing, advertising, and to be able to build it into a business, I'd probably want to be back in the $100-$120/hr range. With that level, I'd feel comfortable because I'd have the perks of my day job: travel to conferences, hire employees, save for retirement, good health insurance, limitless sugary snacks, etc.
Doesn't Boomerang require you to grant their servers the right to read all your email?

I strongly disagree that there is any overall prerequisite relationship between the two fields. If you want to be a good writer, it's important to understand grammar, but telling children that they are not allowed to write at all until they've mastered a course in grammar is incredibly counterintuitive.

Learning needs to be holistic; you fill the gaps as you go.

They found a body with a bullet in it's head. That's step one.

Step two, they went to these recordings, looked where they found that body, and they tracked all the people who were there when the murder happened.

>an entire narrative is presented without any shred of evidence

Why should it? It's not trying to convince you a murder took place. That's already an established fact. It's trying to show you the technology.

Nothing here would have been able to predict a crime. Someone driving around the block twice before driving across town might just be a driver whose car is making a funny sound when he turns left, so he's investigating it. That means nothing. Unless you've got a bloody corpse laying in the alley he's driving past. Then it means a whole lot.
And a strong argument to not adopt it.
It was the reason I installed TOR on my computer the other day. All of the sci-hub mirrors seem to have been shut-down, but the onion site is still up, and there's little chance that one is going to get closed down.

I know browser support is a big downside, but it allows me to use ES6 Proxies for data binding using this helper library: https://github.com/RisingStack/nx-observe. It is something that differentiates it from the others.

The project is in alpha and aimed to be working with the next gen of browsers (Safari 10, Edge). I am really OK with people using it for just hobby projects in the near future. The main reason I posted it is to get some feedback and maybe some contributors.

I will make the browser support text more evident on the page. Maybe a fixed cancellable text in the right corner?

Thanks for the feedback!

At the end of the day, you pretty much need a kernel mode agent that hooks a couple dozen syscalls, but it's largely doable if you have a team of engineers at your disposal. Malware detonation shops like FireEye do it.

Teaching both would work for older kids, but a lot of Papert's work suggests that most kids under 12 haven't yet developed enough capability for abstract thought to use explicitly mathematical concepts to model the world, so teaching FP style at that point is just going to lead to frustration.

If you're going to teach kids at younger ages, you need to introduce it in a way that they can relate to physically, which is why Logo makes the turtle central; it has a heading and position just like a child's body, and it moves in a similar way to the way you think about moving yourself.

Anyway, you should read Mindstorms if you're interested in this topic; it does a great job explaining why the Logo approach is specifically grounded in a thorough understanding of childhood cognitive development.

While the tool is definitely useful, I agree with your comment. Too often, tech that is quite simple is misrepresented as AI because it makes for better headlines / a larger investment round in the case of startups
I am sorry to read about is, I think I know which provider you are talking about based on some details you provided, and I can only say good things about the services (phone and network) when I used them in Italy (2005-2011). At that time it was considered one of the best, and also used to hired the best. I heard it started going worse with good people leaving around the end of that period, it seems it's not going better..

Decline in the Internet
Internet has been in use for a very longer period of time and basically those who have used the internet in the early 90’s know exactly that what Internet was and what it is right now. Now a days it looks that internet have developed a lot and they world is going very fast the reality is that world is not fast, your personal computer is very fast and companies have great processors installed in their machines that give a real great hype to the technology. There is no doubt that technology have improved a lot but it is more beneficial for the commercial interest.
There was a time when one just typed one word and the internet gave the exact response for that exact word and you were able to reach the exact website. Now a days there is a thing called search engine optimization by which people tend to promote their specific websites by paying a decent amount of money, and when someone searches something over the internet, Google or any other search engine just picks a simple word or two and show us the top SEO results for that. For a normal person who is not very good when it comes to the usage of internet, it’s not possible to get to the exact website. It can be done only by that person who knows the ins and outs of internet searching.

I especially liked how honest she was about the difficulty with finding engineers. Something I didn't think about.

Since I'm hoping to focus on more independent people (freelancers and agencies) as opposed to employees, hopefully I won't need to keep finding new engineers as regularly. But I could definitely see where I say, "you need agency X or y" and both are too busy to take on a project. Definitely wasn't thinking about that potential headache.
