#1: It's seed money with which Elon is raising mind-boggling amounts of investor money, using his celebrity as a lever. I consider it a hack, but it's an effective one. Also, being the public face of a decision isn't the same thing as making the decision. So far, I like the results being produced.

#2: Got me there with colonizing Mars: that will be rich-only. However, proliferation of electric cars combined with breakthroughs in energy storage combined with local solar power can end up as a VERY big public dividend: effectively, it becomes possible to invest in technology that drastically reduces the self-sustaining costs and carbon footprint of the individual. Combine that with growing your own food and you're your own little generation ship: it's a drastic change from traditional labor/capital society, because you can set up your little 'life capsule' and then spend your days doing whatever, perhaps working on OpenAI :)

And if it's good enough for Elon it's good enough for everybody else: imagine if not just megacorporations but ordinary citizens were subsidized to convert to this battery-pack-based, solar-powered energy consumption model. We could use plain human self-interest to drive widespread adoption of tech that would reduce the catastrophic swerve into a far more chaotic and destructive global climate.

I'd call that a public dividend, worldwide.

A couple of months ago I sold two networks (a /22 and a /24 ) that I had accumulated over the years. I got closer to $5/ip but a fairly small volume. A little bit of paperwork but not too bad.

I thought it was interested that only a couple of years ago paying for IPs was very much against policy and now they even have pointers to brokers on the APNIC website.
just curious - does it provide rolling updates to the jobs that you're running currently?
Would you prefer that our celebrities were less accomplished, or just that we didn't have celebrities at all?
“You don’t need to introduce a network boundary as an excuse to write better code”

Absolutely this!

microservices is just decoupling by another name.... and you do not need a network-boundary to enforce this.

Monolithic code can also be nicely decoupled too.

The one feature that to me seems to be essential but appears to be missing from all these container orchestrators is the ability to tie a remote volume (Ceph/Gluster/Lustre/etc) to a container so that if a container is scheduled to run on a certain node, the volume will automatically be mounted on the same node.

It seems from the mailing list that at least Nomad will have that at some point, but I have not seen much talk about it from Kubernetes or Docker Swarm.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft actually does not have a QA department.

I can't seem to find a source which confirms specifically that, but after Nadella took over in 2014, he cut a bunch of jobs, which were mostly jobs from the Nokia acquisition, but he also specifically mentioned in this context that he wanted to go more into the direction of agile software development, which means no dedicated QA and rather the developers are supposed to test it as they build it.

Source for that statement is in this article under "Cloud Methods", second paragraph: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-07-15/microsoft...
Just a quick question about this release. Has all use of pronouns been audited for the purpose of inclusivity? That is a major concern of mine.

To be fair, pretty much all of his companies rely on government subsidies. He's basically built his businesses around it.
The navigation bar on the left was much better then on the top. Most current displays are widescreen, so vertical space is more valuable then horizontal space. Unfortunately I can't easily find a "before" screenshot to make a fair comparison, but I feel that the current navigation menu wastes more space and looks worse then the previous one.

IIRC this was the second time Reynolds has announced he was pretty much Done with pixel art. I seem to remember a post like this around the time they finished 100 Trials. And then they did Auro, with everything obsessively pixelled.

Looks like it stuck this time; http://www.dinofarmgames.com/forum/index.php?threads/battle-... is a thread on Dino Farms' forums with some bits from a game they're working on. Personally I'm not sure the comic booky ink outline style is working for him yet but hey, he's learning an entire new way of working, possibly an entirely new art toolchain, and that takes time.
The second statement that you separated from the first statement was to explain to you why the first statement is correct. I used some weasel words there ("more or less") because there will be some targeted ads based on A or B - but the ads served from the same ad network will be largely the same ads except when a placement ad wins the bid. That is how ad networks work. Especially Google. [0] [1]

The Ad Network tracks you and knows which ads to show you. It doesn't give a damn if you visit Site A or Site B it is going to show you the ads it thinks it should be showing you because it knows who you are. If Site A is about cars and Site B is about cleaning supplies, you may see more ads for cars/cleaning supplies on the respective sites - but any "irrelevant" ads will be shared between the two sites based on your user profile. I'm not bringing up the tracking aspect as a reason for blocking because some people don't care about that, as you mentioned you don't yourself. I'm bringing it up because it is what determines what advertisements you see - and no matter what site you visit, as long as they are using the same Ad Network, you will receive advertisements based on your personal profile with that Ad Network.

The company I work for exists to get people like you to click ads. Every large Ad Network works like this.

>That is your opinion; I do not share it.

I hope you have absolutely nothing important on your computer, are never the target of ransomware, never have any of your personal accounts compromised, etc. You're probably the first person I've ever met who doesn't care about personal security. For many people it is even a concern of financial security (identity theft) with the rise of online banking, but I'll assume you don't do any of that and you never make any purchases online.

Finally. Jesus, 97%? I've seen people say they're "taking precautions" but if it's 97% don't touch that thing!

Don't see how it's going to extremes.

Jesus christ. "Stick a load balancer in front of it and scale horizontally" works _precisely_ as well for a monolithic app as it does for a microservice. Which is to say, it might work, to some degree, to some total load, for some systems, and it might not for others, and will eventually break down at high enough load for pretty much anything that's not a pure function (e.g. you could scale a RESTful javascript linter horizontally presumably forever with more load balancers and more api servers, but your chat system is going to get more complex)
> We as a unit do not matter. What matters is the emergent behaviour (the neural pattern) out of the collective work of everyone who is at this layer of the cosmic deep neural net.

This and similar statements are a species of neo-platonic monism: anti-humanist and system-centric. It is a deeply disturbing and I would argue reactionary thought. If we do not matter, how does one oppose injustice or genocide? If "we are just flowing" how does one imagine the possibility of resistance or dissent?

Indeed, but I think also the mental strength tends to get sapped when the thing you're doing is pointless and/or socially harmful. Some people may delude themselves into thinking that their work is worthwhile even when it isn't. It's generally easier to live life when you think you're doing the right thing and everything makes sense.
Yes, I think you should be direct. Some more things to keep in mind:

- Make sure you gather proof of how you've grown and all your accomplishments. Don't expect your manager or HR to know or keep track of this for you. Even better do this all the time (even when you're not seeing a promotion or raise [1]). Also gather proof that your responsibilities are in line with those of the role you want (ask, look at the job descriptions etc).

- Think of this as a conversation you're going to have with your boss. It's not a Q&A nor is it a confrontation.

- Show empathy for any position the company might be in (if for example the company is going through hard times and can't afford to promote you right now).

- Do NOT threaten to quit if you get a negative response. Instead, make sure to get feedback on how you can improve and make a plan with your boss on how to fulfill any requirements.

- DO update your resume (should be easy if you're tracking those accomplishments) if you get a negative response. Put feelers out, look at some postings. Quietly.

Good luck.

I've been working full time in Boulder for the past five years and I could get into the bottom end of the real estate market if I really wanted to - I started working straight out of college with no debt, but no equity either. I've stayed out because I've not felt my career stable enough to jump into that kind of long term investment. My company's been going through some ups and downs and cash in the bank seemed smarter than having it tied up in property. It also came in handy having some "f-you money" considering I just took two months of unpaid leave.

The cheapest house I've seen in Boulder has been around $450K. If you want a condo or town home in Boulder, you're looking at about $270K and that's probably going to be on the out skirts of town and built in the early 90s.

There's also permanently affordable housing. They are subsidized properties that you have to qualify to purchase, but you can't re-sell them for more than you bought them for. I've always made too much money to qualify, even right out of undergrad with a BS.

Right. If you read my entire comment, you'd see the first part was my (intentionally heavy-handed) reaction to his personal preferences and the second part was my contribution to that broader conversation. My opinion is that modular machines are inherently professional. Anything that needs an adapter for daily use is not, in my opinion, consumer oriented. Professionals put up with modularity all the time, because "professional" is a very broad term and we all have wildly different needs.

I'm agreeing that his needs are different from mine, and offering the opinion that this is exactly the reason I'm not upset about needing adapters for a Macbook Pro. I'd rather need an adapter for the few times I use VGA than sacrifice portability just to have a (for me) rarely-used port. I don't need a professional-level DAC integrated. What I do need is a serial port, but it would be crazy for me to demand Apple put in a serial port when a USB adapter works just fine for the very few people who actually need serial.
Why shouldn't people be expected to remain professional at work? Why is the difficulty of the job an excuse?

I disagree with the idea that negativity, in and of itself, deserves downvoting. Shouldn't these negative comments at least be evaluated for how they add to the discussion? Blanket dismissal of negativity leads only to "Yea it's great!" echo chambers.
I know it's not an too popular opinion here on HackerNews and I'd say you're sort of right, but you got it in reverse. The problem is not that it's hard to control or tax companies, the problem is that it's not as easy for you or me to do the same.

You have to have significant resources to break free from local restraints, which is really unfortunate. It's also a lot of resources that gets spent, just so people or companies can do whatever they want with their own resources. In other words, it's possibly a loss of production - those resources could have gone elsewhere.

Please be gentle, I'm open for discussing these things.

Public IPs are about $10/each on the market.

Bah.

mostly affected people that were getting addresses for "free".

There are still a lot of "free" IPv4 addresses out there.

The problem is the cost of IPv4 addresses is not evenly applied. There's hoarding by some early adopters. E.g. I see that Stanford gave back its original /8 allocation, but MIT did not.[1] And why is Prudential Securities still sitting on a Class A block?

If MIT or Prudential had to pay 16,777,216 * $10 per month for their IP addresses, you can bet that most would be returned within 48 hours! Even if they had to pay only $16 million per year, you can bet they'd return most of those addresses.

A true capitalist solution to the IPv4 "shortage" never happened. That's why you have the current situation. Some organizations are sitting on huge swaths of unused addresses, others (the free market) are forced to pay $10 per month.

There are about 4 billion possible IPv4 addresses (sure, some are reserved for e.g. multicast, but those could have been reclaimed). If each and every IPv4 address cost $10 per month, there would never have been a need for IPv6. Even if each and every IPv4 address cost only $1 per month (about $50 billion per year in aggregate), there would never have been a need for IPv6. Or at least IPv6 could have been postponed for a while and "done right".

Take TheDAO for example. The operating agreement and equity distribution is codified on the ethereum blockchain. "Who leads the company" is a global set of public key holders that can direct the contract in real time.

Now, this isn't to say an investment is safe because it's accountable and transparent -- but the mechanics that govern the organization is now something that can be put on autopilot without human intervention.

The only thing that reduces risk is proper due diligence. Relying on the SEC would be a mistake and I expect this market to be filled by some kind of prediction market (see augur).

The number of pages of regulations can increase even as the actual economic effect of regulation goes down. Air cargo deregulation is a good example: http://mercatus.org/publication/unleashing-innovation-deregu.... NLRB is another good example. I guarantee you it has more pages of regulations than it did in the 1940s--but nobody would argue it has as much power over the economy as it did back then.

Indeed, increased pages of regulations is as much evidence of decreased regulatory authority as the opposite. In the 1940s and 1950s, agencies regulated top-down pursuant to broad discretionary standards that could be summarized in a few pages. Today, agencies have to issue detailed regulations, justified by years of analysis and tens of thousands of pages of records, to change the lightbulbs.

Honestly I'm fine with that if it means never having to plug my device in again. "The signals can travel up to 15 feet, and up to 12 devices can be charged at once." Sounds amazing.
Interestingly, the Sam Newman book about Microservices specifically says it's easier to succeed by starting with a monolith that you then break up. That advice does seem to be ignored by people who want a microservice architecture because it looks good on their CV, or because they think it will magically solve a bunch of hard problems they don't know how to solve.
Not only is it inefficient but I believe the heat produced while charging seriously degrades the battery and reduces it's expected lifespan.
The millionth edition of the "if you keep up with tech you can't have a problem, if you have a problem, that's because you stick with Fortran". It is still not true.

People who share complaints here, on Reddit or on more or less similar places, do indeed keep up in general and always have personal interest in tech. But that isn't a magic bullet. They'd have better chances if they had stuck with COBOL, for example.

Go tell that to a recruiter... most don't care about what you toy with; they generally don't even have the slightest idea of what it may be. They just care about what you've been doing at your previous company, if it sounds like the position they have to fill, if the title of the gigs looks good, if the company name looks good or if at least they've heard its name before, and that's all. You are not given a chance to explain the interests you have and side skills you may have developed, it would be all Greek to them anyway and they do not value non-professional experience. Admittedly, I am not talking about California here.

True. I didn't know that was even being discussed. I'd never really thought about the container host dynamically pulling in a volume as a dependency for a container.

The best I've been able to do is use AWS EFS on my container hosts so that my ECS tasks with volume mounts find the same stuff everywhere.
