That article is just a summary/rewrite of SpaceX's press release, with some publicly available background information glued on. I don't see how linking to a recap of a press release would be better than linking to the press release directly.
And how much do those increase first byte latency? (which is the real problem)

Assuming these proposed laws would only apply to web services operating in the EU, could affected businesses evade these laws by simply moving their services to other continents, outside of EU jurisdiction? For example, registering their business in Hong Kong and renting servers outside of Europe?
Exit the EU and problem solved, as well as many other problems.

Thats just called software engineering.

Its not a bad thing when 95% of the code in your project is borrowed (i.e. when you use a framework), but ducktaping stuff together will only get you so far.

For the size of the example project (single dev, one day, single page) and the requirements (load as fast as possible) this would be the superior approach. React would indeed be overkill. And below 200ms load times has proven impact on conversions. That is: the requirement is realistic and commercially, if at all possible, not at all negotiable.
SEEKING WORK
Location: Vienna, Austria. Remote appreciated.

Full-time mobile developer for 5 years (first 1y Android, then 4y iOS), but making a slow transition to UX and interface design now. I'm interested in both iOS development and pure design work.

iOS: I use functional and/or reactive style as much as I can (usually ReactiveCocoa) and have a lot of Swift experience. Used to write user interfaces in pure code, but can also do storyboards.

Design: I leverage my knowledge about software development to make life as easy as possible for developers, and avoid designs that are scope-breaking or downright impossible.

Total software development experience: 13 years. Vienna UT alumnus, master thesis was about music library visualization (force directed graph layout).

Ah, I remember Chantal, I used to devour her blog [0] documenting her transition to Swiss culture/etc. I used to be crazy about Zurich and wanted to move there, but 2 years of Germany convinced me I will never get used to the German culture. Still an utterly beautiful country, and I would probably still move to Switzerland for a while if I didn't have children.

I was prepared for my lovely Dad to be very ill and/or die, a few years in advance, as I have older parents. Dad went from a cuddly, cognitive sprinter to a husk of a man in six months. We have a big family, be it spread out a bit, so the Duties were also spread, but it took its toll on each of us. Strikingly, it was harder to watch my mother fail to cope with it than watch my Dad die from it. I'm glad you're back. Welcome, we missed you. Thanks for sharing.

Great job globalism shooting yourself in the foot.
LIDAR has the same limitations as optical cameras with regards to rain, fog, etc.

Actually, no. With appropriate signal processing, LIDAR units can see through rain and fog. The early noise returns from rain and fog can be gated out until the system gets a reflection from something solid. There are expensive LIDAR binoculars that can see through fog. You adjust the minimum range until you're seeing past the fog. So far, automotive LIDAR units don't have that feature, but they could.

What are the key differences between Einsteinian relativity and ordinary Newtonian relativity that would invite you to make such an analogy?
My belief in some of the weaker forms of EMH does not stem from the idea that markets would be somehow correct, but vice versa. Markets are (almost[1]) always incorrect, and nobody can know how much they are incorrect tomorrow[2]. Thus nobody can beat the markets, other than the random coin tosser.

Now, I fully agree that there have been certain anomalies (value premium anomaly in case of Buffett) that pretty much align with the strategies of these long term successful investors. Question is, has it been their skill to pick right anomaly as a basis for their strategy, or luck? Again, in the world of investment strategies, there for sure is someone trying almost anything. And if that anomaly disappears[3], do they have the skill to change their strategy?

But we are a bit off topic here. The original question was "Why do traders in investment banks..." that is a different species from the warrenbuffetts.

[1] Asset markets can be right somewhat like a clock that has stopped is right twice a day.

[2] Yes, Keynes said "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

[3] I have actually bet my money that the value premium anomaly is not disappearing, but that anomaly is not something investment bank traders can enjoy, as the anomaly is far too long term anomaly for them.
Just to make sure those wanting to become parent don't get things too wrong. Having a child is a choice most of the time (if you are OK with contraception). Therefore, since it will effectively replace yourself by your child in your life equation, be sure you want the little kid. If you want it, then it'll feel much easier (but not completely easy nonetheless, the OP is right about 75% of your spare time disappearing :-)). If it's a choice for you and your lover, then it'll be ok and bring a lot of satisfaction. But having a child is usually not the good time to start this new business you dreamt off :-)

Elastic (http://elastic.co) • ONSITE & REMOTE (Anywhere) • Front-end Developer • Full-time

Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch and Kibana, is hiring.

We're looking for front-end developers to work on Cloud, our Elasticsearch-as-a-service product offering. Today, Cloud runs primarily in public cloud environments like AWS, allowing customers to provision and scale Elastic clusters in a turnkey fashion. We also plan to bring this same simplicity of deployment and automation to customers who want to run and manage multiple Elastic clusters on-premise (in their own data centers). You will be contributing significantly to both initiatives.

To get there we need more developers with strong JavaScript skills, but we definitely prefer developers who also have other strong front-end development skills. Maybe security, design, UX, CSS, functional programming, testing, or something else?

We need someone to help innovate, lead and contribute to the front-end and user experience of our Elasticsearch-as-a-Service offering. You will also be integral in shaping the products we build, not just implementing specs.

Most of the work we do today is with React and Redux.

Check out https://www.elastic.co/about/careers/engineering/jobs/czg_ky... for more info.

We're a very remote team with developers in Australia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, Argentina, Panama, the US and several other places (and a couple of us are currently travelling around the world while working).

If you're interested, don't hesitate in contacting me at kim@elastic.co

We're also hiring for several other positions: https://www.elastic.co/about/careers/
I think you should put the disclaimer at the top of the github page, and clearly state that it is not secure.

The disclaimer currently is near the end of the document and says only "Purely experimental project. Designed for learning purposes not production use.".

Some people will miss that at the bottom of the page (after how to install, how to use, etc.), or might not realize that textbook RSA is insecure (https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/courses/cs255_winter00/RSA...).
does anybody know if www.sync.com is any better regarding their mobile apps ?

>The definition of rent seeking has nothing to do with your favorite socially optimal balance (...) "Unions attempt to obtain a higher income than that which would be necessary to keep a factor of production (in this case labor) employed in it's current use by manipulating the social or political environment without creating new wealth. Thus, they are by definition rent seekers."

Unions represent those that par excellence create new wealth, the workers. It's the managerial class that doesn't create any new wealth -- and it's that class, land owners, industry leaders, etc, that is more prone to rent seeking.

Of course a manager getting a $1 million bonus or a CEO ensuring their golden parachute while the company goes down the drain (thus hardly "creating any new wealth") is not called "rent seeking" while a construction worker getting $1 per hour more due to union bargaining is.

Note that "a higher income than that which would be necessary" is mumbo jumbo without clear definition, except if we are to accept subsistence pay.

>You seem to be confused - it's unions, not wage payers, who have these powers. Unions buy politicians and get favorable legislation, and a union is by definition a cartel.

You seem even more confused.

First, you say that "it's unions, not wage payers, who have these powers".

By this, you already seem to accept the notion that individual workers do not have these powers -- unless they organize in a union. Which was my point precisely.

If you read my comment, I didn't say that that the unions don't have power. I only said that wage payers have much power over the workers, and that unions help to alleviate that.

Your statement is agreeing with me on this, with the exception that you seem to believe that the union then gets too much power over the wage payers (which I believe is wrong).

The second problematic thing is that I enumerate which powers I believe that wage payers have: "from forming cartels and controlling the media, to downright buying politicians and favorable legislation" -- and you say that those are the powers that unions have.

Sorry, but those are by no means the powers that unions get. The unions at most offer collective bargaining powers (and usually their leadership tends to be corrupt and in bed with wage payers anyway). The Rockefellers, Hearsts, Trumps, etc of the world are more known to "forming cartels and controlling the media, to downright buying politicians and favorable legislation" than unions are.
I love Camus. I love how he understood that people would look at his work and think nihilism but he hoped that people would see that they were looking at it wrong and that it was really the opposite.
Not much, though. A quick perusal of Wikipedia (buyer beware, etc.) indicates that about 3,000 tons of helium are generated per year through radioactive decay (that's all happening in assorted rocks throughout the Earth's crust, so much of it wouldn't be easy to recover, either) while current production rates are around 9,000 tons per year.

5 years ago, I'd definitely have called myself an introvert- except I used it as a crutch to justify certain behaviors that were actually harming my broader self development. Just do what feels right for you- don't want to go to that party? Don't! But maybe interpret it more as "I'm not feeling it tonight" rather as a consequence of an eternal truth about yourself.

Avoid thought patterns of the form "well of course I can't do X/of course this would make me feel Y- I'm an introvert!". Sure, I'm still more on the quiet "stay at home alone" side of things than most people my age, but I still did a lot of work on getting out of my comfort zone and getting better at small talk, and other silly social interactions, etc, and while it was painful at first it made me a much more balanced, well rounded person. It led to meaningful connections and friendships I'd never have had otherwise.

EDIT: can't agree enough with laynnn's comment.
You can extract helium from natural gas.

> There probably aren't other sources besides SpaceX that are better equipped to report on an investigation conducted by SpaceX

I disagree; SpaceX has a clear interest (and a well-established track record) of presenting things in a way that bolsters their image. Outside experts could provide critiques of the report: What represents bad luck, what is trivial, and what is a serious error; where is SpaceX being straightforward and where are they spinning things; where are the gaps, where are there alternative analyses of the same data, and what seems solid.

That is a big reason why journalism is important: It provides context and other voices.

I imagine that there are other ways to accomplish the same goal, as well, such as using other noble gasses. Helium provides the best cost/benefit tradeoff but surely other approaches would be practical if helium becomes unavailable.

Make no mistake. Switzerland is not comparable to say France, Germany or Italy. The fabric and demographics of western european societies are changing rapidly and wages in France, Germany, Italy are low compared to the US. And it is only going to continue to go downwards from here. As a rule of thumb: yes, the poorest 25% are better of in Europe, everyone else is probably better of in the US.

This article seems transparently fallacious to me, since the income generated for the 1% is due to investment capital. Investment capital, among a million other attributes that differentiate it vs a state backed UBI program, is exposed to risk. There isn't just some pile of "income" sitting there we can harvest every year, the income the article talks about exists due to the exchange of capital. At the end of the year, some of those investments fail (for example, bonds default) and the income streams vanish.

The analogy to UBI completely fails. Honestly this is probably one of the most transparently dumb UBI articles I've seen posted on HN. (Disclaimer: I support the idea of UBI pending research outcomes.)

Another possibility is a service that keeps track of people who give away their copyright rights. Or similar to a renewal fee which gets exponentially more expensive with time, at the very least we could require they at least resubmit a request to stay copyrighted every year. The key is that you want some action to be taken otherwise fs no longer copyrighted by default.

I think you are misreading me. I can, and do, secure Redis instances when I use them. But I am paid to make systems secure and scalable. That's my business, and I have invested extensive time and effort in being able to do so. I don't have a problem when I'm using it. But you accidentally stumble on it here:

> what business do they have setting up servers at all?

That's a very good question, isn't it? I mean, I'd say they don't. But, despite my generally full dance card, most developers who don't have any business doing that at all...do.

Security is ultimately a group effort, that means it falls to those of us who do give a shit to provide what measures we can for those who don't. We have decided that we want developers who are incompetent to pretend to competence. There are pragmatic, practical firebreaks that we must implement to prevent them from hurting other people. You know, from hurting me and you.
