J.P. Morgan's New Twist on Blockchain
The link is on top of HN, that's why :)
"The author makes Tom out to be a loving son, but the mother writes a note to him saying that there was a rift between them and he didn't return her love. C'mon Tom, you spend your life ignoring your mother, then she's gone and now you care about her life?"

An alternative reading of the situation might be that the mother was emotionally needy and manipulative, using her death to get the last word. It's extraordinarily common in teenage suicides, and this woman seemed similarly immature. Anybody with any experience of a dysfunctional relationship could identify the telltale signs of attention-seeking and conditional love.

Tom seems very much the victim, here. As does his mother, frankly. It takes a very narrow, cynical view of psychology to claim that her mental state was irreversible, hinting at a serious, systemic lack of oversight and possibly even abuse. The ex post facto notification of the Tom's mother's death is particularly cruel.

It's not so much about picking your "favourite" language. That's what drove NodeJS to exist. But more about picking a more appropriate language that has a well engineered base class library and third party libraries. They will come. This comes down to choosing the best tool for the job at hand.

JavaScript developers have been able to, in recent years, benefit in some ways by being able to write their server-side in JS as well (see NodeJS). There are various buzzwords to describe this capability. WebAssembly will help normalise this so that other languages can also have this capability. By being able to share types between the server and web browser client, there are large productivity and program correctness gains to be unlocked.

I never said it's ok for them to break the rules or wrong for countries to protect their borders. The original question was "why do refugees go all the way to sweden, instead of staying in the first eu country". I've tried explaining why, not defending them.
Infractions follow a power law graph. The general public and especially journalists are fascinated with video coverage of gory shootings. However, 99.9999% of infractions will be of a lesser nature. Given that unions and mgmt are by nature somewhat argumentative, the primary, almost exclusive use of body camera footage will be for selective enforcement against disliked employees who violated the equivalent of changing a TPS report header.

Of course there will be no "bathroom break exclusion" thats about 99.999% of the point of even having it. Officers who are enemies of management will have regulations exhaustively enforced with video evidence to prove they spent 15 seconds longer than the union negotiated bathroom break time period and so on. Video evidence that the custodial broom was leaned up against the wall of the closet in violation of the earthquake protection regulation to hang the broom from the provided wall mounted earthquake proof hanger. Upon trivialities like this, careers will be destroyed. Careers of the "wrong" people, of course, only. For peculiar and probably corrupt or even illegal definition of "wrong".

There are solutions such as requiring a judge to personally review all the footage before releasing it, or adding anti-witch hunt rules as part of union negotiations. Or maybe it just can't be done at the current level of mgmt ability and skill.

My experience of working in secured camera'd facilities is it'll be sold as "protecting us from terrorists" and so forth but mostly it'll be used to discipline people who put their feet on their desk when they lean back and think, or to discipline employees who take too long to have a #2 in the bathroom. But it'll only be used to discipline enemies of mgmt, and handwaved away for the "good workers". Where "good" means anything from they're objectively skilled to merely being white.

Then you'd think someone would bother to study how kindness works.
Where the OP falls off is with stuff like "OMG don't use jQuery" or "no one uses HTML anymore". There's nothing wrong with using those -- and frankly using plain old javascript and HTML is fine. Remember we reached for jQuery in the first place because the browser lacked features we wanted, and because it handled cross browser stuff for us. That is, it simplified things we were already doing manually. So the trap is bad advice like "use these 58 libraries" combined with an inexperienced person making the architecture choices. I'd say instead (if you're the inexperienced person) just start building stuff. Then every time you said "this is repetitive, I wish there was a library that did this for me" -- there will be. Go out and get it, and you'll then understand why it exists.
Do you have any evidence to support the claim that this happens "often". Your use of scare quotes seems to indicate that this is intentional behavior. Can you back up such an accusation?

I'm no expert urban planner, but it seems to me the obvious explanation for this is the lack of space in Japan and its impact on costs.

It makes economic sense in Japan, but without federal/state/city bonuses incentivizing the solutions you describe, why would an American promoter dig underground at a ten/hundredfold cost while they can just use the cheap available space?

> Dyson Spheres obfuscating their contained stars as an explanation for dark matter

No - MACHOs have been pretty well ruled out by now. "Several groups have searched for MACHOs by searching for the microlensing amplification of light. These groups have ruled out dark matter being explained by MACHOs with mass in the range 1×10−8 solar masses (0.3 lunar masses) to 100 solar masses" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_compact_halo_object)

> Similarly, the heat would still escape from them. Could that explain the CMB?

The CMB comes from everywhere at once, uniformly, all the dark spaces in between stars is glowing. Dyson spheres radiating heat would just look like a bunch of dots glowing in the infrared. I don't see how any number of Dyson spheres radiating heat could produce a continuous, uniform field.

No, you don't understand. I don't want to use tables for layout, I want to use tables to display a good old-fashioned table. A table displayed in an otherwise normally marked up page. That is what's getting the pushback.

I guess I could say I want to use table elements to layout a table, which would trigger the "don't use tables for layout" argument.
In recent versions there are three different volume sliders. I'd call them: "Notifications", "Alarms", and "Media".

You have to check all three of these to be sure. I have mine set to only "Alarms" and occasionnally allow "Media" when listening to music or podcasts, but after listening you have to reset "Media" to zero. (I don't have any kind of notifications alerts, sound or vibration)

I understand that's why people think Express is great, but in practice you end up rebuilding a lot of the same functionality. It can work okay in a microservices architecture, but in the end you have to reinvent a lot of the wheel.

There's also a common misconception that Django is a "walled in" environment. It provides sensible default utilities for everything, but you actually don't need to use them at all. For example, you can bring anything from your own template engine to your own ORM if you want to.
These are all nice solutions to reduce the number of cars in a dense urban area, but I'm going to go on a limb and guess the author doesn't have to deal with installing and uninstalling cumbersome carseats in every car they use.

Once you start moving around town with little ones, the whole equation changes. We try to be as lightweight as possible, but there is still that stupid carseat. I've tried using Uber for a week in a different city and got really good at installing a carseat in 60 seconds but it's a big hassle. And you have to carry the carseat with you when not in the car.

If the city is dense and there is a desire to reduce cars, this is where public transit shines: your children can either walk or be carried (backpack carrier FTW) without any of the setup/teardown at every single stop. Bonus point: no need to strap/unstrap them.

As someone who doesn't follow the cellular scene as much as I probably should, the immediate question I ask is: what is the impact of this development work from the security standpoint of (potentially stealth) voice/data interception on ordinary telco-provisioned cellular devices?

I realize GSM implements horribly broken authentication schemes, that almost all cellular devices out there implement GSM (and GSM fallback) in order to be implementationally complete, and that it's subsequently trivially possible to (near-transparently) take over arbitrary devices using reasonably inexpensive hardware and a bunch of open software if you can jam the 2.5G, 3G and 4G bands.

I'm just curious what the hurdles are to do this for 3G (and beyond), from an academic security standpoint. There are obviously whole swaths of layered encryption and so forth that would need to be dealt with, I expect that; and I admit my total ignorance - and curiosity! - as to what that is.

I vaguely recall obtuse rumors that suggest the existence of privately-owned 3G implementation(s) out there that do what I'm describing. I'm curious if this open-source work is lowering the barrier to the accessibility for this sort of thing.

This is an important question - I recall reading at least one story (I think from here) about the questionable legality of unsolicited cellular wiretapping operations (done via GSM) that have been noted by the news media.

(As an aside, I think that open-source GSM implementations exist is kind of neat - if you're ever in the middle of nowhere (or an equivalent setting) and you can setup base stations, old GSM phones are hundreds of times cheaper than CB radios.)
Statistics can never simply be read from a police database or similar. It takes serious work by good researchers to compile the data and interpret it. This is also why you can't compare many crime statistics between countries, rape being a fairly typical one.

The simple truth is that up until now no one actually cared and that is why it went unreported. Heck, the new years eve sexual offences will probably disappear among all the other sexual offences that go on every day that no one apparently cares about.

Festival groping is hardly a new phenomenon, maybe the new years eve thing is new but was it a temporary problem or is it a long term issue? No one actually knows yet.

All that company superiors see is that Ben worked 2 Saturdays already and he is booked for yet another this month and Mary worked zero Saturdays.

What is the explanation? "Rest of team despise Mary" does not cut it.

What sort of upgrade plan that was done 3 months in advance has zero contingencies? How do you know who could become unavailable for some reason?

Then he blames the employee for asking for leave. If you can't handle 1 person being unavailable, you are a bad manager. What if they got sick? You don't cancel.

Bad Management say they make plans all the time. Make proper plans that can adapt to risks. This is real management.

SysAdmin is crucial most tech companies. It is like the engine room. The manager has to be solid as a rock dependable. I don't care about their emotions or their staff. The customer's emotions is the priority if anything.

I've been to more than one interview where I defaulted to jQuery and was immediately disqualified, based on the looks on the interviewers' faces. As a ruby developer, it certainly feels like keeping up-to-date on JS takes more work than the other 90% of languages that I'm familiar with.
I know a lot of cops, including many that wear body cameras. They are universally in favor of them, for the very reason you mentioned (they all have stories of times they were accused of misconduct, but had video evidence on their side).
Come on, your response is pretty shallow, don't you think? Or do you genuinely believe a Facebook-like application is the only one that could benefit from organizing into modular, reusable components?
Yeah because refusing to work on projects because of tooling selection gets you far in life...
> You're setting an unreasonably high bar for what you're willing to define as a monopoly

No I'm not. A monopoly by definition requires no competition, and monopolistic profits are not possible with competition. They could possibly occur with cartels in markets with high barriers to entry, but cartels are unstable because the markets benefit cartel-breaking behavior more than they benefit cartel behavior.

I find it absolutely rational of you to not want to discuss any further. It's the natural end state of stubborn ignorance. I've already demonstrated that not all markets end in monopoly, but only those with high barriers to entry. If any reader wants more examples, they can google the term Commodity.
In the US public transportation (PT) can only work in big dense cities. I live in Orange County where even the greatest PT will make it challenging because every place is spread apart where as in Los Angeles (just 40 mns away) you may not need to own a vehicle for days.
JavaScript is a very special language, I think.

When I learned it in 2011 it was already strange to me, coming from years of work with PHP. Also, Java and C in university.

It was nerver meant to build big applications and had a few issues that many people tried to assert.

Old implementations which needed stuff like jQuery to normalize the APIs, no native module system so everyone implemented their own stuff (ExtJS, CommonJS, AMD, etc.), strange scoping rules forcing variable aliases and wrapper functions all over the place, functions as first class objects intruducing people to a new world of possibilities with ideas from FP, prototype based OO which comes with a different set of problems than class based OO.

The whole "we want new stuff now" movement forced many tools onto us to build our software, which before could simply be run in a browser without compilation. So we got rid of a few problems with a whole set of new problems.
And this is the thing that cheeses me off the most.

Look at the economic activity created around a "junk" wireless band: 2.4GHz. It is junk because of absorption by water molecules, and that's why microwave ovens use it.

Despite how crappy it is, and how much interference it gets, it is so, so useful. WiFi, Bluetooth, and dozens of other protocols. We get so much use out of it.

If some other bands were opened up in the same way for unlicensed use (conforming to a TX power limit of course), we could create more and more applications, especially if it was a bit lower in frequency to allow longer range communication with reasonable power consumption.

But there's no space worldwide for that, because it has all been sold off or otherwise provisioned. It is such a shame.

> he asked me to provide citations in general

A reasonable standard to maintain IMHO, especially for topics that are "such loaded". Then maybe we disagree on how controversial the claim is? I don't think "the UK police has had problems with racism" is controversial (well, maybe the magnitude is, especially compared to the US), but whether this still applies generally today I think is controversial.

Attempts at improving the police has gone on for quite q while, so I wouldn't assume the question "Have they been successful; Are the police different now?".

Sorry, I'm not sure how that's relevant to my comment? I personally love the diversity of the JS ecosystem, but that doesn't have any bearing on the fact that Ember is simply not a backend framework.
I spend my time in C++ and Python land the majority of the time. I have had to jump in to fix front end bugs a few times... This page reflects my experience fairly well. I spend hours trying to find the magic incantation of bower, grunt, less, npm and/or make, shell, versions to make one line of JS change. And I sincerely hope it gets better. I want to develop web sometimes, but every time I approach a new code base, I feel like I am starting from ground zero.
The overall complexity was still order of magnitude smaller. There were no transpilers, shims, or complicated multi-step builds, and I knew every single library I was using.

> How does Kubernetes handle updates safely?

It supports rolling updates where one pod (this means container, usually) is updated at a time, with traffic being sent to other pods during that time.

I think the best practice right now is to use a Deployment (alternatively you can initiate a rolling update manually). Using a deployment makes updates as simple as "kubectl patch ...".

It does require a load balancer, which varies from platform to platform. In AWS, I assume it uses an ELB. On premise, you might use contrib/service-loadbalancer (haproxy).
It's 93 million miles to the Sun and 1/4 million miles to the Moon. "A few million miles away" places it very close by.

Even a few billion miles is still inside the solar system. Pluto is about 4 billion miles away.

It's difficult for something to stay between the Earth and a star and be nearby. The Earth moves around the Sun - this provides a baseline to measure stellar parallax, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_parallax - and anything close to the Sun is also affected by it gravity. That "close" includes regions well beyond Pluto.

"Occultations" are when one object blocks another. For example, detailed observations of when Pluto went by a star gave us clues that Pluto has a very thin atmosphere. Asteroids also cause occultations, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occultation#Occultations_by_as... . They can be used to figure out the size of an object. That page shows an depiction of a occultation by Makemake, which is 50 AU out (further out than Pluto). Its shadow is on the Earth for only a few minutes, and it's over 1400km across.
