Awesome.

Although I wanted to use RethinkDB for new stuff I was very hesitant to introduce a probably discontinued product. Using a Linux product with Apache 2 instead makes the decision to introduce RethinkDB much easier.

Is somebody already working on a operator for kubernetes like coreos did for etcd [1]? What is your recommended kubernetes deployment for RethinkDB?

That is absolutely fantastic. I feel much more confident about the future of rethinkdb now.
Instead of storing the data and then analyzing it, make it into a stream! eg: collect | analyze | report

During development or if you want to store the raw data you can split the stream. eg: collect | tee >(store) >(anotherAnalyzer) | analyze | report
The true fix is just to replace the machines. As they said the newer machines have encryption to hide the PRNG. Obviously some places can't do that, and the company is not doing it for free. So technically the casinos cannot fix the compromised machines themselves, but they could just replace them.
Then lower the middle class taxes so people can choose how to keep the savings, instead of being forced to buy a house to take advantage of a specific tax break. (I'm being the devil's advocate here, I realize some taxes (or breaks) exist to incentivize behaviour.
hey I hadn't seen that. I will check them out. However personally am sceptical of the "full frontal" approach (ie multi asset class etc) because you'll just never be as good as bloomberg, or even a fraction as good, on functionality, if you spread yourself that thin. I prefer a beachhead approach.

[EDIT] appears very buggy on Linux via JRE on my big 4k monitor
The article mentions newer slot machines, "whose PRNGs use encryption to protect mathematical secrets" - so new machines are already considered secure.

Aristocrat, Novomatic, and any other manufacturers whose PRNGs have
been cracked “would have to pull all the machines out of service
and put something else in, and they’re not going to do that.”

So they could be fixed, it's purely a financial decision.

as long as older, compromised machines are still popular with customers,
the smart financial move for casinos is to keep using them and accept
the occasional loss to scammers.
8 Amazing Growth Hacking Tips for Growing Your Startup Quickly
Possibly since the OP expressed concern that their travel plans could be interrupted without notice, but that doesn't appear to be a warranted concern since the exact same temporary bans were put in place by previous presidents including President Obama and are therefore nothing new.
The quality of life of Kansas City vs Manhattan is not an increase, or at least, very likely not for most people living in Manhattan. The "American Dream" of having a house full of rooms you don't need, 2.5 kids and a yard for the dog isn't all that appealing to a lot of people. Many of these people are pretty happy to be living in cultural centers where they don't need to own a car. Most of the cost of living savings you get moving out you lose in salary adjustments, car payments, and lack of small housing.

I've done Southern suburbia life, and now North East city living and I can tell you N=1 you'd have to pay at least 5x my salary to even tempt me into going back.
It's all a matter of perspective and how you interpret numbers. I can also say: "15% is standard surplus according to regulation, but California is generating 40% (6/15) more than the standard surplus". Now that seems like a bigger number.
One huge question to ask is why you need an editor specifically for a tree. Do you want a gui, or a format? If you need a gui, you are automatically in domain-specific territory. If you only need a format, maybe you don't need a tree editor at all.

Excel is a great tool for making trees; just add a column that names your parent. I used Excel to create a prototype of an event driven animation sequencing engine for a Disney game. It was more of a state machine / directed graph than a tree, but the only constraint there is data, not the editor. The prototype was later replaced (after the game using Excel shipped) with a gui based tree editor, but not something that could be called "general purpose".

I've long thought that hierarchical file formats come with some pretty bad downsides, from both sides, usage and implementation. You don't need a hierarchical format as long as you are willing to name all nodes and not allow anonymous nodes. Once you do that, you can have a flat file structure with fields that reference other nodes. Once you do that, XML feels crazy. Easier to implement parsers that don't have to do overblown amounts of dynamic memory allocation, easier for humans to read & follow, easier to share references or allow non-tree structures, etc. etc.
I would highly recommend starting with this project: https://github.com/rosskukulinski/kubernetes-rethinkdb-clust...

I use RethinkDB with Kubernetes in production using the above project and have been very happy.

Ross, the project creator, is also a RethinkDB leadership member and is stellar at responding to any questions concerning the project.

The NT Kernel is a very secure and resilient design, it was just mucked up over the years with Win32 blurring the lines between the kernel and userland. MinWin was an internal project that started in Windows 7 where the tendrils of things like Win32 were extricated from the kernel. In addition to improving security, this also enabled things like multi-platform support and headless servers.
Oh no, I think you're right! DiabloD3, can you confirm this and horrify us with how many rashers of bacon you were getting through in a day?
And in the interim you can be fined or imprisoned for violating a law which you cannot read without paying a private entity.

Either side can appeal a case, and judges should be ruling based on all laws, including the state and federal constitutions. Anything less should be grounds for impeachment (as should consistently having your rulings overturned by higher courts).

It mined bitcoin in the background somewhere between 2.0 and 3.0 if I recall correctly.

Yep, eating a balanced, calorie reduced diet for a period of time will let you lose weight in a healthy manner - assuming no other issues. Thankfully, most people don't have issues beyond being overweight so loosing weight for most people is just stop eating so much.

Calories in, calories out is indeed how it works, but people also need to realize that your body is not a static machine, it reacts to its environment. Restrict caloric intake too much and you hit a point where your body enters a 'starvation mode,' it holds back on as much work as it can and holds everything it doesn't use. If you have problems absorbing foods due to problems with your GI tract, you might find that you don't need to restrict too much before that happens because you weren't getting all the calories you thought you were before.

Of course, reducing calories will cause your body to change some of what it does even if you have no other issues, so for maximum benefit, you should pair it with exercise.

I've also restricted myself to 1500 calories a day for the past month or so and have lost about 10 lbs so far and am on track to lose a similar amount in a similar time as yourself. My wife did the same thing at the same time, it's not going anywhere near as smooth for her, but she has GI issues.

I have a related question, but switched around: I have a US based company that recently started paying an international contractor (individual) for some programming work. He’s not a W2 employee and being that he’s not a US citizen I’ve just been paying him in full and not withholding anything for taxes. This mirrors how I’ve paid other US based 1099 contractors.

As the project has gained momentum and is looking to be something that will continue long-term, it has me wondering about the correct process. A couple weeks ago I spent a few hours researching IRS documents and posts found by googling, but nothing was conclusive. Some of the information I found indicated what I’ve been doing is correct, but I need to have the contractor sign a W-8BEN [1]. Other information indicated that I should be withholding 30% of his earnings even though he meets the standard to be a 1099 contractor if he was a US citizen.

Do others have experience with this and what can you offer as advice?

Comparing engineering-only numbers to all-graduates numbers is not useful. All-graduates numbers are strongly affected by the very low number of jobs available for most humanities and (to a lesser extent) social sciences majors.

This article doesn't have numbers on men leaving the engineering workforce, but this one [1] does. The numbers aren't exactly comparable, since it doesn't count people that never even start working in engineering, and is from 2009. It claims about 10% of men leave engineering by age 30, compared to around 25% of women.

People on tourist visa by definition are not residents or citizens. They are tourists. You can't tax tourists. Imagine how many people would avoid certain destinations, I mean executives, if this was ever an issue. Many people "work" while being tourists. It would be difficult/impossible to force them to pay taxes for the weeks or months they spent in your country.

"This isn't a problem that needs to be solved with technology and by forcing people to wear a beeping device on their heads. You can just install a railing and make the environment safe for everyone"

One problem with the "just install a railing" approach is that the environment changes. New stuff gets built. Temporary obstacles appear where there were none before. Not all obstacles are human-made (think about walking through the woods -- there will be no railings there, to be sure).

Another problem with it is that the person who benefits (the blind person) is not the same person as the one who must be relied on to alleviate the problem and foot the bill.

Also, why is wearing the headgear "forcing" while using a cane is not? I don't think anyone's being "forced" to do anything in either situation.
The problem with manipulation is that there is no 'forcing'. That is the entire problem.

This really bugs me. Copyleft has always been feared by lawyers and corporate people alike. Let's not forget how Ballmer called the GPL a cancer that infects everything it touches. Yet, copyleft is our only defense against abusive proprietary software and without copyleft we might not have the fertile collaboration of projects such as Linux, git, or OpenWrt.

The AGPL is just an updated GPL. Back when software mostly came in boxes, the GPL was as feared as the AGPL is now. Now that software mostly comes from the internet, the AGPL is there to address this new distribution method. Now the AGPL is the new cancer.

Overzealous lawyers trying to "protect" copyrights have indoctrinated an entire generation of hackers that sharing code is a danger and the AGPL is the prime threat. I have spoken to too many Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, or Google employees that are convinced that sharing their source code would be tantamount to death. The result is a world where their secret software controls the news we read, the ads we see, the people we talk to, and even the emotions we feel.

"Open source, but licensed under the AGPL.", says the article. There is no "but" here. The AGPL is the very definition of "open source", because it defends openness. If you have nothing to fear from open source, you have nothing to fear from the AGPL.
I don't think that's a problem that is solvable with technology. It's a social problem. Less social inequality and better education, taxes on unhealthy food, less working hours. That would be necessary to tackle the problem. Obesity is just a symptom.

I love the SV mindset: Let's not get to the reasons of something, let's just build an app and everything will be good.
That does strike me as odd too, so do they at least let you renew them 6 months prior to the passport's expiration?

Indeed. I think the pragmatic reponse is to say that from now on laws shouldn't be able to incorporate by reference works that aren't freely licensed.

That means that law makers would have to create their own work (perhaps based on the concepts in the trade group's documents).

If the trade groups wanted regulations to reflect their work exactly, they would have to freely license, at which point they could be referenced.
I've been thinking a lot about this recently.

There are certain near-future technologies like self-driving cars and robotic home care that could revolutionise the lives of the old. I think that's a given, but they have a relatively high barrier to entry.

At the other end of the scale there must be pure (or almost pure) software solutions that could help older peoples' lives also.

I've been thinking of Alexa-style AIs that actually perform useful tasks such as pre-screening scam phone calls, alerting the user about important emails, or proactively helping the user perform a bank transaction. This could be useful for everyone, but when an old person can barely read emails, never mind sort important ones from the scams and junk, I think it would be a godsend.

The devil is of course in the detail. As a high-level concept it all sounds great, but how would it actually work? I've been imagining a kind of "meta-OS" that sits on top of the OS and drives it on the user's behalf. Or perhaps it should be more like a netbook, with all the actual content kept in the cloud, and the AI as a thin client dedicated solely to allowing easy access to the data. There are a lot of possible way for this to work, and a huge number of problems to solve...

Why are they comparing bugs from Ubuntu 12 "unity" to windows 10 and calling it "linux security", this is like shitty statistics... you narrow your field enough and you will contrive the result you were looking for like a numerologist.
The point being, it needs to be updated.
They're not equivalent, though they are similar.

For example, Rust is able to have the Rc/Arc split, allowing for increased performance in single-threaded code. You can't do that with shared_ptr, or at least, not in a way that's checked like in Rust.

It is a direct response to "the crux of the matter". Trump isn't going to be banning countries on a whim.

I read in the news that the police detained up a murder suspect. Now I'm afraid that the police are coming for me even though I haven't hurt anyone. Logical?

Country A is temporarily banned for sponsoring or harboring terrorists. Person in Country B is afraid of being banned too even though their country doesn't support terrorism. Logical?

People are wrongly arrested every day. Few if any countries have been banned unjustly. If we cry out against a temporary ban, why not cry out even more about the wrongful arrests that take place much more frequently?
Using the scale is great if you understand proper nutrient timing and partitioning. What if you don't know the basics of nutrition though? Where do I cut from?

Why should Rust try to paint itself like yet another ruby/python/javascript? It's not, and should not try to market itself as if it was.

People who need Rust know they need it.
Not yet, but it is something that we are thinking of adding. Would a web interface be useful to you?
I think we need to be careful to distinguish between copyright and access; they're not the same thing. For example open-source software is protected by open-access licenses, which in turn rest on the concept of copyright. We don't need to abolish copyright to establish a right to open access.
> While we might have some common idea what is text, we definitely not have common semantics!

Funny, that makes me think of the new Wikitext editor that the Wikimedia Foundation is developing. [1]

They are using the previous Visual editor infrastructure, and they are having problems because features that make sense for a rich text editor are creeping into the plain-text code editor (such as unwanted copy-pasting of styling code).

At this point I just don't understand your argument. You seem to imply that there is some "correct" supply of engineers, and anything that increases the supply above that is "suppressing wages." That would mean that scholarships for engineering schools, programs for encouraging engineering careers, all forms of immigration, and even internal population growth, would all be things that can "suppress wages."
I'm not an expert, but as far as I understand, what killed 68k (and many 80s CISCs, like VAX), was the difficulty with producing an OoO implementation given the very complex instruction semantics, in particular the with indirect addressing modes.

It wouldn't be a problem today as designers have transistors to spare, but it was in the early '90s, when the high performance market was taken over by the simpler OoO RISCs and x86 [1] of which, against expectations, Intel managed to build a competitive OoO implementation in the form of the PentiumPro.

[1] which compared to other CISCs is much simpler.
I didn't like the conclusion that switching to a school was a solution that supports a specific kind of creative activities, because the example was not convinving. A Dance Carreer is famous for competition so much so it was featured as a storyline on the Simpsons. OTOH the school might just have been exceptional, but then it proofs nothing. Edit: Still, I like that the problem is interesting enough for the talk to become prominent.

Thumbs up to Xubuntu - best GUI across vendors. The latest Unity desktop is a vast improvement over the initial rollouts (this my current work environment).
> The latter is the most important: Apple with its ultra tight control down to the tiniest chip on the motherboard can tune the performance in ways that cannot ever be achieved by either Windows or Linux, with 6+ hour usage times being the norm. Windows laptops with this usage time usually are way more than expensive than Macbooks, are heavier than a piece of granite rock, or a combination of both.

This definitely used to be the case (and was one of the main reasons I used macbooks over windows laptops, the other being the touchpad) but this is no longer true (outside of cheapo laptops) imo.

High quality ultrabooks like the dell xps 13 rival the macbook in build quality and battery life, and afaik are not more expensive than macbooks.
The more they keep protecting, the more we're trapped within.
The only problem is that we're now pushing ad networks into much more murky waters... And believe me, they'll do anything to make their monthly budget.

The gradients in the WinDirStat UI make me physically cringe; I've always used SpaceSniffer instead.
it barely happened here with membership in the thousands. It would be an interesting social experiement to replicate that on a larger scale while limiting the demographic by gender, age, and so on to see how it affects the behavior of the group.

If you want the results of that experiment, you'll find it in the conventional wisdom among reddit moderators and dedicated users. Subs with under 10,000 subscribed users are not only good interpersonally, the content of the subreddit is in it's heyday. If the userbase balloons, or the content quality nosedives, then you get bad interpersonal interaction.
Well tourists are similarly a "drain" on the economy. Yet they are welcome. Logically speaking, they are as much as drain a "digital nomads". For the period they are there they use as much infrastructure as digital nomads. Yet no one thinks about taxing tourists.

The problem is that you cannot add a hardware random number generator to existing machines and the cost of buying a new machine is high enough that casinos do not want to do it.

If the scammers get too big the casinos will replace the compromised machines and the scam ends. The scammers seem to know this: they are targeting more an more casinos around the world in an apparent effort to make sure it is worth the risk.

Actually you don't need hardware random number generators. There is enough variance in human input to feed a cryptograhic random number generator. The code to add this probably wouldn't be that hard to write (they might be 8 bit CPUs or some such limit that makes it impossible though). However all code changes have to be certified by regulatory bodies (for good reason) which makes it not worth the effort to fix old machines.
Not on stable. On unstable you'd have a few options, similar to the ones you'd have for writing libc in the first place.
