"No guys stop complaining that google doesn't give support to kubernetes, we are not Google, we are the Cloud Native Computing Foundation." -- Some kubernetes developer.

Release blog of kubernetes brought to you by: -- Aparna Sinha, Product Manager, Google.

Seriously though those new features are really neat, and seems to compete with the ease of setup of docker 1.12(though swarm was a bit of a mess when I last tried to make something useful of it (docker 1.12.0)), I hope I can test them at work soon.

For now I'm having a great time with rancher.io and cattle.
Victim? Conservative spin machine? I watched Hillary and her operatives steam roll over Bernie Sanders in the Primary, and her lies are simply too much. To let her win the presidency would be a validation of her methods.

She's a neoliberal who is just as bad as Obama (if not worse!) when it comes to military policy, US entitlements, environmental policy, trade policy, and so on.

No thank you. I'll take the moron first.

IoT and SSRF: A New Attack Vector?
I feel obliged to point something important out about trailer park homes (and other temporary dwellings)...

They're a financial trap. So MOST people buy a home with finance, it might be a bank, credit union, or whatever but ultimately these loans are backed by larger organisations in the background that set the rules.

One thing you may not be aware of is that once a trailer park home is 15+ years old a LOT of companies won't loan against it. Even for a new dwelling of that type it can be hard to get finance, but as they grow older loan providers vanish.

There's a whole host of reasons for this (e.g. the type of people that live there are "high risk," the home can literally be stolen, there's less standardisation for home inspection, the land is low value since it is often in the middle of a trailer park (i.e. has no general purpose value)).

I call this a "trap" because you'll buy the trailer park home, then at some stage in the future you'll want to resell it; when that occurs you may suddenly find that while there are a lot of interested buyers none of them can get finance(!) to buy your home.

This has nothing to do with a buyer's credit score by the way. It is the property itself that won't be loaned against (since when you mortgage the property itself is normally collateral in case you don't pay, in this case they cannot determine that the property is worth as much as the loan you're asking for).

I know someone who's been trying to sell their trailer park home for a year. Lot's of interested buyers, all with good jobs and solid credit scores, but none of them can get finance because the property is too old, and none have the cash. They're tried dozens of financial institutions.
That's the problem -- SF isn't going to a much higher density model. The population growth is actually pretty tame, especially compared to cities in Texas and Arizona. Granted, they have more land, but it's not like this kind of growth is unprecedented. San Francisco doesn't want to be low-growth, it wants to be no-growth.

I appreciate the desire to protect the housing stock, but there's a reasonable balance. For example many of the neighborhoods between Midtown and Downtown in NYC are protected -- but neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen, FiDi, Long Island City, and Downtown Brooklyn/Dumbo offset the housing impacts. SF can't even agree to build a couple of high-density buildings in SOMA which was (still is?) a wasteland.
Wait does any of that include labour ? Because around here you won't find a technician working for less than 50 GBP an hour, parts not included. Or well, you can always find a "guy" that can come around, no guarantee of anything.

That's btw my key argument. If you repair yourself or live in an area with handy undeclared workers, yeah repairing is probably worth it.
I think this conceptual disconnect can happen even without a DSL. So, then you have the huge amount of code, plus, a bunch of new and confusing concepts applied in ways that don't fit with your understanding of those concepts.

A DSL may mean that the language doesn't fit how you think about a given problem, sure, but a poorly fitting abstraction can happen with or without those language abilities. I tend to think that having those poorly fitting abstractions expressed in a compact form is probably better than having them expressed in libraries with very large surface area and oddly connecting/dependent parts.

Now, I don't actually know this to be true; my experience with Lisp projects is very limited. I have worked with Perl and Tcl that made use of higher level capabilities of those languages to create little DSLs for specific tasks, and I didn't find it problematic; but neither is as far along as Lisp on the DSL spectrum. But, I have also worked with big projects in languages like PHP that get the abstractions very wrong (at least, wrong from my perspective), and have found the verbosity to be exhausting...saying so much in order to accomplish so little (and to do it wrongly) seems even worse than tiny amounts of code that don't fit my mental model.

I can think of a few reasons.

1) Women are graduating from college at a higher rate than men.

2) Women are going to college at a higher rate than men.

3) Women have a higher literacy rate than men.

4) Women graduate from high school at a higher rate than men.

These trends are likely to continue. I don't see any possible scenario where men are not worse off in 20 years than they are today, while the higher educated women continue upwards. This is likely especially the case given that trends in education are pointing drastically in favor of women.

If you examine men-heavy trades such as trucking, they are likely to almost entirely disappear in regards to providing plentiful millions of moderate paying jobs to fairly low skill blue collar workers. Nearly all taxi & Uber type jobs will also disappear, those too are dominated by men. Manufacturing will become even further automated by robotics + AI, those jobs are heavily dominated by men. Even military jobs are likely to be meaningfully reduced by leaps in automation and robotics.
Hacking, cryptography, and the countdown to quantum computing
Apple allows updates like this as long as it doesn't substantially change the behaviour of the application. Of course the definition of 'substantially' is, deliberately I think, left open to interpretation. But new features and bug fixes are okay. Swapping out the application entirely and replacing it with another one would not be.
Sure, I was more thinking about the language geek point of view.

Thanks for clarifying.
The c interface is a bit silly, but the rest of the points are pretty good. Clojure is a reasonable lisp-on-the-JVM, but lacks some of the really good things about lisps.
Mono is not a direct superset of Core, but yes if you have an existing large .NET application you might have an easier time working with Mono than Core. Some of that may change as Core starts to get closer to .NETSTandard 2.0, depending on what sort of a legacy codebase you refer to. (That is, Mono has an okay-not-great emulation library for System.Windows.Forms, but it seems like it may be unlikely for .NET Core to have anything similar.)
I know lots of platforms-of-the-month come through HN, and it's hard to filter the signal from the noise...just wanted to add another voice that Exponent is indeed awesome. Built by one of the sharpest (and most humble) teams in the valley.
With that number you can train a model from scratch. Alternatively, you can retrain the last layers (it requires much less data).

The easiest way is to use some well-known architecture (e.g. VGG16) and go. See: https://github.com/leriomaggio/deep-learning-keras-euroscipy...
> But much of the gaming public in the USA wants dark, aggressive-looking devices.

People didn't want "dark and aggressive" so much as they wanted "understated and blends in". When the PS2 launched, reviews frequently mentioned that it looked like just another piece of A/V equipment on your shelf, no different from your VCR or your cable box, while older game consoles (except the original NES, see below) unmistakably look like game consoles. Given the reputation of video games at the time, "looks like a game console" was synonymous with "looks like a children's toy". Also, remember that a lot of the PS2's sales were driven by people buying it for use as a DVD player. For that to happen, it was important that the PS2 look like any other DVD player on the market.

This was the same reason why the original NES looks the way it did, by the way. The reputation of video games in the US was in the toilet after the crash of '83, so Nintendo was very careful to make the US version of the Famicom not look like a video game system. The front-loading apparatus, the dark gray color scheme, the box shape, and even the name "Nintendo Entertainment System" all came together to make the NES look like a fancy VCR and not an Atari competitor. In fact, Nintendo's marketing went out of their way to not use the phrase "video game" so as not to scare away people who were burned by the crash of '83.
I totally agree. I used a NEC MobilePro 780 & 790 for a few years in the early/mid-2000s and it was awesome. It was small enough to slide into my pants pocket, yet still had a quite usable keyboard.

I'd love to have something like this running Android or even a very stripped-down Chrome-like OS.
Bitcoin history on a logarithmic scale
I think it's hardly a problem just for men, it's probably just the statistic they have been able to easily measure or have data for. And especially given that women have an increasing role over time in the work force, that would confound the numbers a bit if you are trying to measure things more stably over the last few decades.
Hey! Thank you so much. I was working in Jupyter with Sympy to generate SVGs illustrating geometric relationships etc. (proofs of Pythagorean Theorem and stuff like that) and I had to subtract the y values from the height of the viewport to use the Sympy objects to generate coordinates for SVG.

This is so much cooler. :-)
I argued back in 2000 (a year after I got my computer engineering degree) that AI wouldn't take off until computing moved from single threaded/single core to multithreaded/ multicore processing. The fact that we are only hearing about this stuff 15 years later makes me feel that that assertion was largely right.

The biggest problem I see in AI is that the algorithms are generally fairly straightforward, but people haven't had the computing power to explore the problem space. We are seeing drastic improvement in things like video cards (routinely 1000+ cores) and data processing locality (map reduce). But processors have stagnated.

If we really want AI in any reasonable timescale, we need large arrays of general-purpose cores with a sane communication protocol that doesn't fixate on things like caching, we need a hybrid between Go and Erlang to do concurrent functional programming in a readable way with automagic scaling over a network, and we need all this yesterday. The fancy schmancy AI algorithms will become apparent when processing power is no longer the primary limitation, and at that point we can optimize them.
Thanks Blake, that means a lot coming from you =)
> here is a huge demand so prices will still rise well above those prices.

That is not supply and demand works, price will fall.

It might pick up again due to increased economical activity driven by population growth, but that is a second order concern. At some point housing itself will not be a limiting factor to the growth of the economy, however SF is far being Manhattan, London, Paris.. It might take 10 years to get there.

Once SF increases its population by 7-8x a simple investment in underground metro would undo the effect of congestion.

That is where technology is right now, Greater Tokyo supports 40 million people ! and the city is an economical powerhouse. It allows cool stuff like trains that travel at the speed of a bullet.
Yup, It will overflow its mind!
> Unless you are very rich, price discrimination is generally a monetary benefit to you.

You're not accounting for the deadweight loss from the crippled product.

Suppose if there were no coupons the product would cost $20 to everyone, vs. when coupons are used it costs $15 with coupon or $30 without. But using the coupon requires an hour worth of labor on the part of the customer. So the rich customer pays the $30 and the poor customer pays the $15 + $10 worth of labor. Compared to the case with no price discrimination, the rich customer pays $10 more and the poor customer pays $5 more. Neither customer is ahead, only the seller is.

Likewise with crippled products, if the full version of the product was available for $20 to everyone then the poor customer may get $25 worth of value from it and have a $5 surplus. Making the full version $30 and the crippled version $15 means the poor customer won't buy the full version, but the crippled version may only provide $16 worth of value, so now the poor customer's surplus is down to $1 from $5.

You're also assuming price discrimination costs the rich more than the poor. But volume licensing and bulk discounts are a form of price discrimination.

In the limit where the seller can engage in perfect price discrimination, the seller captures ~100% of the consumer surplus from all consumers, which is obviously worse for every consumer than any case where the consumer gets to keep any part of the surplus.
In the interim, I imagine that long haul truckers will be decimated - and short haul trucking (last 20 miles) will flourish. That should soften the blow through the transition period; where AI is good enough to drive straight out of a loading facility, down the highway, and straight into another facility, but not quite good enough to back down an ally in a congested city and get the paperwork stamped by the right person.
Remind me never to hire you for anything ever. You've truly internalized the Tao of the BOFH.

I think you miss the point of the article. It's not that technology destroys jobs but that in the next century, technology could potentially destroy jobs at a faster rate than it adds new ones. That would be an unprecedented event in American history.
Thank you for the thoughts. I was on Prozac for some months, and they definitely took the edge off but instead of flunking I'd flunk happily. It masked some of the symptoms but didn't get to the core issue. CBT wasnt suggested and I didn't ask, though I would now.

If I'd had more motivation (that's something that's coming back, to start I could care less about anything) I think the Prozac could have helped me along.

Exercise is a good suggestion, I've dropped out of most, so asking a friend or two to join up for some running and gym is overdue. Gets me out of the house and the self-feeding guilt too.

Finally at the very end of this article is it mentioned that the notion of reclaiming space from exclusive car use requires no new fancy technologies at all.

Reducing car use simply involves:
1. Disincentivizing car use
2. Creating transportation alternatives.

One can accomplish those two goals without new car sharing services and/or autonomous cars.

Cities around North America and the world are removing car exclusive road space in their cities by the mundane tactic of building public transit, densifying, turning over parts of roads to exclusive bike lane use, and adding bike share systems.

Articles like this concern me because some of these exciting potential future technologies seem to be distracting people from the fact that these problems can and should be addressed today. Fully autonomous, on demand, car sharing networks may be still 20-30 years off. Should we do nothing until that tech is ready? What cities should be doing today is acting as if autonomous car sharing networks may never appear, and acting today to reclaim space from cars using the proven methods that already exist.
And the "housewife" skew was probably pretty heavy in the 1970's, where his data starts.
It's a shame it sounds like there are no legal avenues for penalising the individuals behind this. Actions like this ought to be criminal. In the end, if the only penalties are directed at corporations involved it isn't much a of disincentive to state actors or others with sufficient resources who want to game the system.
My sister doesn't know much, but asks me all the time "Do you think my employer can bug my personal phone?" My parents asked me whether it's safe to enter their credit card numbers on their computer. My parents asked me how to get rid of notifications of their OEM antivirus. People who don't understand technology, but they do understand security, privacy and malware.

You're reminding me that my parents (63 years old) and my sister might belong to a bubble made of 10% of the people. I'm highlighting that those 10% still make above 100 million people. There's definitely concern for privacy all across the board, but people won't switch to Linux because open-source software is ugly and dense today.

I'm not saying we'll sell a paid Linux to everyone. But good UX + respect for the user is still a huge market. The market will grow as the image of Linux improves and people will end up switching "because it just works better".

Legacy code would probably stick on the .NET Framework (with maybe Mono as an option to try for some cross-platform reach) for now.

New code is great in .NET Core when you have that option.

If you are building NuGet libraries (which seems doubtful given 2.0 and 3.5, but possible) you should try to target .NETStandard rather than .NET Framework or the previous best option PCL. But if you can't target .NETStandard for some reason, things will get better (soon).
The problem with that is, I feel like by adopting .NET I am the one being fired at by Microsoft
For those interested, there is an ISRO subreddit at www.reddit.com/r/ISRO which is well updated.
This is a reasonable point.

The distinction I was hoping to draw was between cash-flow loans and investment loans, where the former are (like interbank overnights) non-zero risk but immensely reliable. But it's probably impossible to set up that system without people manipulating it to get profitable rates (...like interbank loans).

Certainly, we don't have a great track record of the government properly evaluating what's actually for real safe. I was thinking that we could keep limit lending by preventing rate-based profits (like electric companies, which profit on coverage but not prices), but realistically that just moves the incentive from profit to popularity. Hand out good loans to bad risks, get reelected, blame the markets when they explode. Sounds painfully familiar, actually.

So yes: likely better to treat financial services as different from risk-bearing products altogether. You'd have utility "money storage" that does deposits, transfers, maybe offers financial advice, but doesn't extend any credit/investment of its own.
I wonder if the employment rate would be different if the minimum wage were zero.
