I would much prefer to buy something hand-painted (even mass-produced hand-painted). Because I want to know a person painted it. I want to know they put their brush in a big tin paint bin slobbered and muddy with old paint and then pushed the brush against the canvass to make the lines.

An intelligent image processing filter would be cool to, but I would want it for different reasons.
I test and use all 3 main public cloud providers. I keep Azure out in this conversation for now:

A quick comparison of GCP & AWS :

The services & flexibility of options offered by GCP is not even in par with AWS. Yes I may be able to spin up a couple of VMs but when it comes to enterprise GCP can't be an option. It is like buying the new macbook pro and can't add more than 16gb memory! A designer for sure needs more ram regardless even if Macbook pro is offered for free.

- There are about 50+ 3rd party offerings in Google Cloudlauncher compare to thousands in AWS Marketplace!
- Choice of server/OS! maximum 8vCPU-7.2Mem in GCP compare to 192 vCPU and 2TB memory in AWS
-NoSQL Big table ( max 30 nodes) - compare to ( virtually unlimited DynamoDB)
-SQL (only MySQL in GCP ) compare to ( Almost all with exception of DB2 in AWS).
- and so forth - Just having Lambda, F5 support is damn good reason to go for AWS regardless of how much it costs.
Those are the basic needs of SMB that google can't even offer.
- 60 day trial and 300 dollar limit! compare to 1 year

The whole point of moving to the cloud is to have no limits and be able to have access to resources whenever you want. Google offering is very limited for now. This is just a lame marketing move by google and I hope they first fix their offerings and then compare. I can go to godaddy and say I'm cheaper maybe!
Just check the list of services offered by both and see which one should be considered for a serious customer.

We are all professional and judge products by testing them, open an account in both and judge by yourself. When I started using GCP it sounded refined for basic services but when it comes to Bigdata, monitoring I did not find the console very integrated nor usable.
Seems like I mistook what you represented and attacked what I thought you were. Text is a bad place for casting stones like I did.

I don't know about gradualism. You seem to have a better eye on the strategy than me, so I'll take your word for it -- though I'm struck by your cynicism about allies fleeing you when things get hard... but I can understand where it comes from. The number of people who would put themselves in harms way for someone else's fight is pretty low, so your numbers indeed look bad.
Damn. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I hope for all our sake america isn't as dogmatic and lazy as you think it is..
For the abbreviation,"an FOIA" is correct. For the term "a Freedom of Information act" is correct. Its based on the sounds, not the word being abbreviated.

But many chips are bought in the US, so China would be hurt quite significantly (you're saying the US would be put into a recession which means the US buys lots of chips).
Fair point. Drives me bananas though.
In Canada you just file capital gains or expenses for anything under how much your expense / gain was. If you get reviewed or audited you can revise your documents and you'll get more back.

It's kinda interesting because a lot of people will claim less than the levels that would normally trigger an audit (49% of household expenses towards rent, say) and then if they get audited upwards revise it to 75%. It's like a societal cheaper NASH equilibrium, since both the individual and the government gets penalised for being overzealous.
A placebo effect always helps by definition.

To show something only has a placebo effect is the equivalent of showing it does not work.

My impression has always been the spammy feeling of it all when someone is not seeking employment. The apparent never-ending "would you or someone you know be interested in this position" spam that developers get. Personally, I don't mind it at all but I understand why some might.

As for the company side, I have directly heard from many a company that they don't like dealing with recruiters because of the cost involved. But then, it seems it has become necessary to many job seekers because experience suggests that if you want a response from a company about a position you must go through a recruiter.

You're not the only one - I've had this sense of a slow, but inescapably-accelerating epidemic for awhile now. Tuesday before last was not a shock.

It feels like we're slowly falling off the trajectory of the Renaissance and Enlightenment; avoiding fatalism about that is my main challenge right now.

Add to this the fact that real name policies are difficult to enforce and require ICANN to become a centralized legion of bureaucratic paperwork.
Yeah, the former is a weak phrasing of the claim. The latter is too strong, though, to be scientifically precise. Better would be "overwhelming scientific evidence that this product does not work" or "the claims of this product have been tested false across hundreds of trials."

Which is to say, we're not 100% sure it's bullshit—we can't be, in science—but we're 99.999999% sure, or so.

Uber’s New Terms of Use Gives It Unlimited Rights to Sell Customer Data
Basically all of us are async. A few of us in the bay area,a few on the east coast, 1 in australia, 1 in eastern europe, and a few in japan/korea.

We have 1 weekly standup at 3:00 PM PST which is ~8am Japan Time (where I live). All of our messaging is async. Most people manage themselves. Tasks tend to be longer sprints.

Half of our team has kids. Work is more independently scheduled. We all collaborate asynchronously.

We use gitter for all of our communications. The reason for this is customer support, user support, team chat, all in 1 place. It works fairly nicely.

All of our communication is remote first. This means most things happen via text or hangout.

Our business development is split in 2 main time zones. "Asian timezone" and "US timezone". Many of us fly.

Marketing material gets cross pollinated across language and time zone via 1 shared folder. (Language is important due to selling in japan,korea,china, and parts of the US).

I usually come back to the US every few months for conferences to try to keep touch.

I also get on a call every other day or so with my cofounder during his afternoon and my morning to make sure things stay in sync across time zones.

We started as 2 people in San Francisco.
That would be pretty poor marketing, since Vultr is better value for blazing fast servers.

Syscall Auditing at Scale
Yeah I'm starting to get disappointed in the direction they're moving. My mb pro is from early 2013 and runs fine, but I'll be looking to upgrade in the next couple years. Nothing I'm seeing in the product line is very encouraging at this point. I'm very disappointed if this router news is true. Router firmware updates on most products are non-existent, but with my Apple router I haven't needed to worry about that.
Takashi Murakami [1] is doing much the same with Kaikai Kiki [2]

I think a lot of people (especially artists) don't realize or maybe don't like that in order for an artist to scale, they have to bring in help. As much as it sounds like the commercialization of a craft, I think these structures are important for the art economy to survive in this modern era of on-demand everything.

Yes, the process is irrelevant to the "fine art" quality (whatever that is).
For a gross salary of 90k as assuming 2k a month dc pension it breaks down like this.

Taxable wage 55K
Taxpaid 15.6k
Tax Free 11k
NI 5.1K
Take home 45.26
Pension 24k
Tax relief on pension 9.6K

And rember you also have CGT allowance of 11K and an Annual ISA allowance of 14.2k (20k next year) and property taxes are much much lower

The rule of thumb I heard for the cost of a FTE was 3x salary.

How exactly is it off-topic? It's absolutely related to the misinformation that created the homeopathic industry, vaccines cause autism, etc.
That's a shame. I used that list fairly often for individual research purposes.
"a FOIA" is correct if you pronounce it "foya".
You caught me :( But close enough. Point being overkill.
I believe the reason for "a FOIA" is "FOIA" is being pronounced as a word like "foya" instead of the individual letters "F-O-I-A".
It's not a great solution since it requires knowing the difference between ASCII and Unicode... I would argue that a user who is vulnerable to falling for unicode characters in domain names won't have that knowledge.
I don't know how anybody would stay in London (or move to London) given local software engineer salaries for non-financial projects.

I was once offered a role of Scala software engineer with £45000 starting salary. I assumed it was a joke, but it wasn't.
This was the part I didn't understand at all. You go through a CS program for 4 years or more and end up as a junior developer and that's fine, but if you go through a 12 week coding bootcamp you're somehow more qualified and shouldn't be "benchmarked against junior developers"?

I do realize I'm making an assumption that there was no prior CS experience before the bootcamp, but isn't that the crowd they're targeting?
I tried this but using ScriptProcessorNodes is a pain in practice because of how the events work:

>An event, implementing the AudioProcessingEvent interface, is sent to the object each time the input buffer contains new data, and the event handler terminates when it has filled the output buffer with data.

Events just fire like mad until you put stuff in the output buffer. Couldn't get it to work like I needed it to.
Well, proving that would be complicated than solving a NP-hard problem.
Flexport CEO: The corporation is a relic of the military era
I love instapainting's approach to SEO: produce articles like this that are genuinely interesting, post it to HN, then wait for TC and the like to pick them up and reap the link juice. They've also got a few neat little hacks hosted on www.instapainting.com which serve the same purpose. Here's a good writeup on their strategy:

Depends on how you're reading it in your head.
If you read "Freedom of Information Act", then it's "a FOIA" but if you read "Eff Oo Aai Aay", it's "an FOIA"

That's why you get "an X-Ray"
Agreed. I think Apple can still sell the entire experience if you shop at their store, they just no longer feel the need to have the Apple logo on each product you buy. For monitors there's a strong argument that the monitor is a very visible piece of technology and so should retain the Apple design, but routers generally are put in some out-of-the-way place and, as long as they work well, it doesn't really matter who makes them.
I'm uninformed. What is the significance of riseup.net?

As both zellyn and the site guidelines point out, the domain name is part of the title here, so it wasn't as ambiguous as all that.

Not spoon-feeding readers is part of what makes HN HN.
To me, world building through pacing is one of the aspects I enjoy. I guess you could call it lazy exposition evaluation.

My favorite feature of cyberpunk and derivates was the willingness to mention a thing in passing, that the author knew the reader had no idea about, then gradually shade in context through the story. The "how quickly can you figure out what this thing is in this world" schtick feels... more engaged with the reader as a sentient creature than "brain dump, here's a bunch of information."

Or, in the writer's quip, "Show [with skill], don't tell."
I often wish it was only the reading. That may be a matter of getting used to it and there may be pluses to the functional style. But when it comes to using a debugger loops seem to be so much more approachable.
While funny, there are uses for the types of orchestration that containers can provide... for me, it's kind of awesome that finding a script for an automated deployment of any subject is now as simple as searching: <subject> dockerfile

And voila, I have the steps to install <subject> ... ;-) I'm being a little snarky, but I do think that the dockerfile is pretty cool by itself, and wouldn't even mind seeing other automation frameworks use the dockerfile and the swarm configs for other purposes.
Even though the site is simple development time has been severely dropped thanks to choosing a fairly heavy platform.
>doctrine of like cures like, a claim that a substance that causes the symptoms of a disease in healthy people would cure similar symptoms in sick people. Homeopathy is a pseudoscience – a belief that is incorrectly presented as scientific. Homeopathic preparations are not effective for treating any condition...

Isn't like cures like the principle behind many modern medical therapies, such as: flu vaccination; anti-venom; and immunotherapy for allergies.

Not saying this is wrong decision, but its always interesting to watch the Government pick winners and losers. In this case their justification includes "many are diluted to the extent..." and "in general claims not based on science". So is that an acknowledgment products are based on science and not diluted to the extent rendering them useless? On the other hand its great watching members of congress explain why they refuse to pass laws require labeling of food containing GMO, because they generally acknowledge GMO could be harmful to consumers but the science is still out and so until then consumers shouldn't be making their purchasing decisions based on GMO labels.
Yeah, but everyone says, "you need to have a GitHub. You're not serious about coding unless you have a GitHub. That's how you get jobs now."
The problem is that retirement is a Ponzi scheme and it's not clear if the current 3rd world children will care (or even have the means to care) about our 1st world problems in the future.
AFAIK, the "real" placebo effect is a very small and specific thing that goes on when pain alleviation or inflammation are experimental variables, because of the body's μ-opioid system.

The rest of the placebo effect, outside of that domain, is being increasingly found to be the result of under-powered experiments.
He simply grabbed a sharpening steel and demonstrated how to run a knife blade along the wand, which he did without flicking his wrist. “Like a conductor,” he said. “You have to keep the angle constant.”

That angle needs to be about 20 or 30 degrees in relation to the steel.

It's not a sharpening steel, it's a honing steel. It doesn't sharpen knives, it aligns the sharp end from \\ or // to /|\ (you're looking at the blade from the heel with the tip pointing away from you). Also, 20-30 degrees is very wrong, Japanese-style blades are usually at about 15 degrees, others around 22.
Potentially off topic, but Im trying to navigate the alternative medicine world right now.

My mother in law just gave me a bottle of pills containing a Chinese herb meant to treat hair prematurely graying. I don't mind trying it and finding out it doesn't work in order to keep her happy but I've ran into some reports that it can cause liver damage, but I can't gauge how reliable those reports are. Any tips on how to find scientific research on things like this?

The product is called "Fu-Ti"

Yeah, but that problem exists with all levels of software development. The best I've seen so far is signed packages in Linux. But even then you must trust someone.

Does anybody have any good links to impressively strong placebo effects of any treatment? Or is it always just a slight reduction in reported pain?

These debates always devolve into how placebo is a proven effect and doctors should prescribe placebos. Placebos seem to have limited effects though (they're not going to cure cancer or a cold) so this feels like a red herring.
Well, I am Russian now living in Switzerland (and occasionally Spain) who used to live in Denmark and Italy before.

Casual, matter-of-fact immigration is a fact of life these days.
The placebo "effect" is not some magical effect that heals people, it's just a bias in reporting the results combined with a regression to the mean.
That was a thing of beauty. Definitely trying it this weekend (but giving myself an hour instead of 10 minutes).
Ok, I'll be more specific: the reason why drug trials are placebo-controlled is that human body is already equipped with the most miraculous drug of all: our own immune system. So, to accurately measure effectiveness of the drug we have to benchmark it against effectiveness of immune system. Placebo effect is just our own body fighting disease, no mystical forces involved.

Members of the investigation committee for NSA spying activities in Germany wanted to hear Snowden as a witness. This request was blocked by the majority of committee members belonging to the current government parties, officially because they can not guarantee for Snowden's safety, supposedly because Snowden may reveal unpleasant facts about spying activities of the current or former governments. Opposition party members than went to court that now decided that also a minority can request to hear a witness. Now they are planing to again request hearing Snowden on Thursday in the next meeting of the committee. What follows we will see.
> homeopathic medicine is either 1) Nothing, if they diluted it 'correctly',

In that case, it would be pure water, and therefore it would be completely effective for treating the condition of dehydration.
There's precedent for something like this in the UK, and it's not a happy one. There was a moment in history where landowners who had a lot of sitting tenants on land realised they could make more by converting them into large sheep farms and removing the tenants.

The idea does have some basis with vaccines. Though vaccines are a prevention and not a cure.

It looks like both homeopathy and the vaccine were even introduced in the same year(1796), which was a spooky coincidence when I looked it up just now.
Unfortunately, all of these "Best Practices" are "spend more money," which effectively means the attacker wins. They're forcing you to spend more money, even if they're not attacking you now/recently. Would love to see more things that reference open source mitigation software and such like that, e.g. tossing a hardened nginx in front of your Tomcat server, stuff like that.

Granted, at some point, you're going to have to spend money to mitigate the attack no matter what, but if mitigation of DDoSs becomes entirely focused on "Go with a big centralized provider" or "Spend lots of money to mitigate the attacks," we end up in a much different Internet.
Yeah, have had similar problems, dealing with Google support is a nightmare.

I can't use Google Ads at all anymore. I once had an account for a business in NY, and I was listed as the point of contact for it. Lost access to that account when I moved (locked out due to changing location, Google refused to offer any means to recover it), and now I can't sign up for Google Ads with my name on any account. It simply informs me that I'm already using the service on another account, and that I should use that for Ads.
For sure! But please, for the love of Vint Cerf, don't go into production with boilerplate containerization configs.
I commented about DCOS vs Kubernetes many times before here on HN.

I had a production cluster running on mesos/marathon (mesosphere). Also have an open source project heavily invested in it [1].

Recently, I refactored the entire environment to work on Kubernets and the open source project is following it as well (It is basically a miror of my production ENV).

After this long story I will say this.

They are both hard to set up correctly, especially if you follow best-practices of closed networks and publicly accessed resources (VPN, Internet Gateway etc...).

Kubernetes has a lot of "force" around it right now with the community booming. Posts like this (with it's many problems), is somewhat of a proof becuase it shows a vibrant community around a project.

Kube is more stable from my experience.

Like you mentioned, I would not run Kube production on anything less than 200-250$ which means multiple masters and multiple slaves for the pod runners.

It's nice to run something cheap to check the capabilities but not more than that.

Regarding DO, I'm a big fan and run a lot of projects (personal) with them, for production grade stacks I would use AWS/Google/Azure, those give you better capabilities around hardening a cluster (security, networking) for production workloads.

The problem is it is artificial. It has been manipulated.

It produces an army of people who have to work every day of their lives, which produces tax revenue and a big, growing economy.

Going to college might be a better choice for an individual than not going to college, but the system has been intentionally set up this way to turn the masses into indentured servants. (Originally, it might have been unexpected that student loans would create this bubble ... but now, it's not a surprise, it's a valuable exploitation mechanism).

It's not the optimal approach for our society ... it only serves to help the Haves gain more control over the Have-nots.
