Interested? Send your CV and a few words about you to jobs@gotthardt.com and mention hackernews in the subject for special treatment :)
Yes I'm aware. Using the term in a different sense, but I can see how that's confusing under this context.

I meant just an old-school deploy without containers and the sort.
Decentralization is a way of removing dependencies and adding redundancy. It's often less efficient, there's way more duplication of effort, but can be more resilient.

Big players don't necessarily have an interest in this, but some do. It's always a balancing act between too much centralization (single target/point of failure) and too much decentralization (impossible to control).
Is it possible to contact you through email to discuss non-technical positions in detail?
>There is no excuse for it in 'cooperation'

Yes, there is. A) it is a perfectly grammatically and orthographically correct usage of the di B) There is no prescriptive body which governs usage of American English - there's no need for an "excuse" to use an orthographic feature of the language as if it is some clause violated.

The reason they do it is because it's the New Yorker. It's their house style. It's what their readers expect and understand and it has become a tradition and perhaps even emblematic of the magazine and its brand. Complaining about the "pretentiousness" of the New Yorker is like complaining about the convoluted commands in eMacs or vim - it's not a problem, it's a feature.

Note: I see that "no one cares, no one reads asterisks" sounds really harsh, if anyone is taking issue with that, and wasn't aimed at the GP. I simply meant that people (including myself) don't tend to take them into account so I don't believe it's a good solution to the problem.
You can not upgrade, but you will have security issues.

It is very hard to offer support for legacy systems. You should expect more than 2 year support. Software evolves really fast, companies cannot sit and wait. They will lose their hype and money.
>Warren Buffett getting rich doesn't automatically mean somebody somewhere else is losing out.

I guess my point wasn't that somebody else was losing out. But that Warren Buffet could have made 1/1000th the amount of profit as he did and the world itself would not have lost out. Only Warren Buffet gains, not the world as a whole. Ultimately what value does Warren Buffet's success in terms of dollars bring to the world? Again, ignoring his eventual philanthropic choices.

By the way, the "oh boy, this looks like a lot of trouble, but it'll be much easier if you sign this form", and there goes your greencard, has been going on for a long time.

A friend of a friend traveled to the US with her newly born baby to see the grandparents, and was told at immigration that she hadn't been in the country for a while, and the greencard might have to be revoked, and she could either fly back or get a lawyer and fight it (while in no-man's-land) or sign a form, forfeit the greencard, but enter for now (as a tourist). This was last decade, and I might have the details wrong, but basically she signed, as the alternatives (with baby and all) were even less appealing, and the greencard was gone.

(Note that if she had been rich, at that point the exit tax would have kicked in, too.... fun fun fun)
Sounds pretty self-serving to say that I "referred to everyone else", just because you want to justify sloppy processes. I only referred to those who do that, and I'm sorry if I'm bursting anyone's bubble here, but nope; not everyone does that!

Also a startup doesn't necessarily have requirements for serious ops, but it may, some day. Well if they want to be an enterprise at least. You do know what the goal of a startup is, don't you?

And btw, no I don't live or work for company in SV. Europe mostly, with a dash of Dallas, Texas in the mix.

In any case, I was hoping for engineering arguments, not personal attacks. :(
Ask HN: Want some ideas to improve Tidings
I want some ideas or any new feature to enhance my app Tidings. Here is the link https://github.com/nitin42/Tidings
Wikipedia has a policy to only accept reliable secondary sources on controversial political articles. What comprises a "reliable source" is loosely defined, and what sources are considered reliable is ultimately decided by the editors in a somewhat per-article basis, with some global definitions which are not centrally listed anywhere but are enforced by senior editors and their admin friends. Because of the systematic bias that Wikipedia suffers from there is strong partisan bias in this selection, which resulted in a number of wiki clones with their own bias (e.g. Conservapedia), forums dedicated to show how bad this is (e.g. /r/wikiinaction) and has - among other things - been leading to a steady decline in the number of editors in the last couple years - everyone eventually gets bullied away from that place by a clique of editors + admins.

Quoting Wikipedia policy itself:

>If Wikipedia had been available around the sixth century B.C., it would have reported the view that the Earth is flat as a fact and without qualification. And it would have reported the views of Eratosthenes (who correctly determined the earth's circumference in 240BC) either as controversial, or a fringe view. Similarly if available in Galileo's time, it would have reported the view that the sun goes round the earth as a fact, and if Galileo had been a Vicipaedia editor, his view would have been rejected as 'originale investigationis'.

To protect ourselves. While we do not offer legal advice per se, we do explain how removal proceedings, visa processes, and other sensitive topics work . Given how quickly immigration policy changes, the ToS allows us to say that info is provided as-is.
This is entirely intentional. The God Emperor is overwhelming you with shock and awe to make opposition seem pointless, which it is of course.
I always view Facebook in Chrome on Android. No need for an app. Another good reason to keep on keepin' on.
I have a 1965 book titled The Coming Doctor Shortage. I suspect that the doctors' guild has kept the supply of newly graduated doctors just under the number needed to keep their wages artificially higher than if there was a surplus. They import exactly the number of doctors needed to fill all positions.

I had a passenger who went to visit her husband's grave twice a week. She blamed the foreign VA (veteran's administration) physician for causing his premature expiration.

Edit: People tend to die when it's their time, so I don't think that the foreign doctor was necessarily to blame. I'm just saying that I think the medical system takes advantage of the perpetual shortage of doctors...
It's a fairly minor thing, but if I had to guess I'd say a Tesla branded inverter for PV systems. Their electric vehicles and the Powerwall 2 incorporate inverters already. It wouldn't be a stretch to start offering them for PV systems too, now that they've got SolarCity. (But there doesn't seem to be any really compelling reason not to continue using third party inverters for PV, so who knows.)

It only took 5 minutes to get through this game, but it was an infuriating 5 minutes nonetheless — a perfect analog of what it sounds like is happening at airports right now.

This is some great art. Bravo!

Aside from supporting as many after effects features as possible we wanted push what could be done with animation. One example in the current version is using exported after effects files as animated transitions between view controllers. In the future we hope to support more programmatic and interactive uses of animations built in after effects.
Ask HN: As a software engineer, what's the best way to push back against Trump?
Garry Tan recently tweeted that those who code should use their skillset to push back against a burgeoning surveillance state (https://twitter.com/garrytan/status/826120645754761216).

My question is how should we actually do this? I agree that it feels like a waste of a skillset to settle for going to marches or calling senators, since those seem like distinctly low leverage activities. So where can writing code be used to increase leverage when it comes to pushing back against a potentially dangerous government, within legal bounds obviously.

It's a damn shame that our country is so split into two parties (or worse -- "moderates") that we assume you're either Left or your Right. I know many people who would feel more involved in the political system if there were viable parties that represented beliefs that cross (or often are completely unrepresented in) party lines.

The two party system coerces us into false dichotomies far too often.
As someone who is implementing HTTP/2 I would also say that HTTP/2 has no advantage for high-bandwidth requests, e.g. video streaming. I would rather guess that even the unencrypted HTTP/2 variant might be slower than HTTP/1.1 in this scenario, since you now can't directly write into a TCP stream but have to interleave it with multiplexing info and have two flow control mechanisms working on top of each other.

HTTP/2 will be mainly a large win for short requests, where it can avoid the large overhead of creating additional TCP connections and make header exchange more efficient.
nope... I couldn't bring myself to click on "Oh, the president's great" yet though
Buffett is an interesting case.

When he got going, people were mostly just buying what their broker told them to, which was some company the broker had heard about that morning on the elevator. There was such little information out there that his philosophy (buy and sell on fundamentals looking at various ratios) gave him a major advantage. This was Ben Graham and The Intelligent Investor, who Buffett studied under at Colombia, then worked with him.

I'd say Buffett's biggest innovation past that is realizing the role of management. He talks about it in various ways, but I think his main rule comes down to "avoid psychopaths in management; it's a fundamental people don't understand how to discount correctly." There's a lot to that, it turns out.

Then he got into insurance, as you say, to get lots of cheap cash to invest. Compare him to say, Jay Gold, who mostly got rich through stock manipulation or Michael Milken who got rich by inventing the junk bond (a "new" financial product) then went to jail.

Not many successful stock pickers out there; most rich finance people made it from commissions of some form or another, not market gains.

The world is different now though; Graham's methodologies are so beat to death at this point that there's no advantage to be had. Buffett's philosophies on the importance of the management team (not being psychopaths) still apply though.
Well, we'll have to agree to disagree (especially about CNN's journalistic integrity). But I appreciate you taking the time to respond, as opposed to those users who simply abuse the downvote button.

I thought the pattern was from 01000 to 11111 gives you ()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? but I can see what you are talking about.
The most well-regarded poll-based predictor, 538, gave Clinton a much lower than 90% chance and pointed out the key error of those predictors giving that high of a chance -- they used models which assumed, contrary to evidence, that deviations from polling results in different states in the same Presidential election are independent, when in fact they are strongly correlated.
We can really only read those emails due to leaks.

Public officials' communications should be in the domain of the public by default unless there is a real urgent need to keep something secret.
Not to sound cliche but I believe the bigger problem in this country is education, which apparently has failed many in this country on both sides of the political spectrum, if the past couple of years are any indication. I guarantee you fix people's problems with English, Math, and History in the classroom, you will have no need for machines or algorithms to filter junk that influences people online.
Have been working with the kubernetes teams on slack. Kubernetes is definitely building a lot of the right things ground up, but its like Hbase vs Cassandra - the former needs a full time dedicated team to get stuff working.

Docker Swarm (especially 1.13 https://www.infoq.com/news/2017/01/docker-1.13) is like Cassandra for me. Yes it has a few shortcomings, but it allows you to have a fairly reasonable cluster using a stupid compose.yml file and very quickly.
Are animations in react-native offloaded to the native renderer, or are they in JS?
Would it not be possible to scan an app to determine exactly what libraries it could load? I think you can avoid halting problem issues by simply doing a dumb search for the library load routines in the code, at the possible (but not very likely) problem of picking up spurious data in a binary blob section.
I don't get to work on databases this size and today has been an incredible lesson and a journey. I've been reading all the comments and blogs, watching the stream and Googling what I didn't know or understand.

I believe Bouncycastle supports it, but am not sure.

Java crypto has lagged for years for the residual effects of legal restrictions.
I think The goal shouldn't be to detect fake news. The goal should be to detect whether a specific claim is true or false. For that, you simply need a site, like a crowd sourced fact checking sites, where people are required to source their arguments precisely, unlike fake news which doesn't. Then you have a resource to turn to, similarly to how fact checkers are used in the face of fake news.

After that, you can build an engine to crawl news articles or have them submitted, and detect the claims being made. Those claims can be either auto-matched to existing ones or create new ones (deduplication) and then the site has a fresh new stream of claims to fact check.

StackOverflow could build this site on their existing engine. If someone here knows them, can you reply and put me in touch?
There's a link in the bottom right hand corner of the page
where it says "© 2016–2017 AOSA"

You put a colon there as if what's below is the "succinct explanation," but that explanation is no where on the site.

Also useful would be a better use-case for both parties needing to keep their numbers secret. Perhaps this is a common scenario, but I don't understand why (although I can't imagine it's that common if there's no tool yet).

One of your examples (Leveraged Buyout Analysis) shows the two views, one of which is the bank's view. In the bank's view, their premiums and fees are hidden. Why would this be secret information?
