Some of the reactions are understandable, but I expect most people on HN to be able to separate unrelated issues like these. Some of the comments here are absolutely unnecessarily hostile.
From a (very) quick scan of the document it seems to me that a new executive order skirting the possibly legitimate objections would have a much better chance of success in front of The Supremes.
Both of these are easy to fix. Configure etcd with peer certificates for clustering and a cert for client-server connections (https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/v2/security.html). If you need encryption at rest, encrypt the filesystem.

If setting up a secure cluster is daunting, then use a distribution that handles it for you. OpenShift (https://www.openshift.org/) is built on kubernetes, and it's install is secure by default.

You've yet to prove that they've had "the opportunity and incentive to choose this field, yet go elsewhere."
The problem with standard'ish SQL+RDBMS and their schemas is that types are not enforced well in SQL and most libraries and language integrations, thus we end up with the quagmire of static schemas that can not be reliably type checked when you use standard tooling.

Also lacking in many DB systems is integrated support for tables withh heterogenous schemas that is supported by page/row-level cersioning and/or on line schema alteration. Having to rewrite a huge table only because you want to narrow a couple field for future data, it gets old quickly.

This would be great in hot countries, where so much energy is used in air condition, it could make a real dent in energy use, and hence pollution.
>>> Weird. OK, I tried it with some other parameters, and it suddenly took 15 seconds at 100% CPU, with PostgreSQL doing some linear scan through data. Using EXPLAIN I found that with full production data the query planner was doing something idiotic in some cases. I learned how to impact the query planner, and then this query went back to taking only a few milliseconds for any input. With this one change to influence the query planner (to actually always use an index I had properly made), things became dramatically faster. Basically the load on the database server went from 100% to well under >>> 5%.

I am actually interested in this part. Figuring out issues with EXPLAIN is one of my favorite things.
I was at a business dinner in China once. This guy ordered a very old and $$$ wine and then mixed it with Coke in his glass. I wanted to cry.
How lovely that the two inventors are Doctors Yin and Yang.

Presumably Dr. Yin was responsible for energy absorption and Dr Yang for energy emission.
From end-to-end, I think the whole pipeline is a waste of human talent. I'm not ashamed to say, I'd be happy to hear about more people getting fleeced over bullshit like this.

Of all the things they expend time and effort worrying about: nuanced preferences for getting drunk.

I have 0 experience of your life. What I do know is that if there's a small chance that I'd never have to suffer another major depressive episode again, I'd consider that good information to have. Even when the odds aren't in my favor, I consciously make the choice to focus on the possibility. This isn't Pollyanna, it's practicality -- thoughts impact mood. Part of CBT is learning about your thinking, and one of the things that helped me get into a pattern of recognizing my own thoughts was to separate observations, suspicions and conclusions.
This seems like something that needs further verification on the intentions since they won't comment on it, but the implications are enormous if this is what's actually going on.

Familiarise yourself with the local tax regulations. You should be able to expense most things related to your work (home office, office supplies, internet etc).

Learn basic accounting, and do it yourself using an online package like WaveAccounting or Xero.

When I've used checks, it's been almost exclusively to pay bills for things that don't have an electronic payment system set up, and where I also don't want to drop $1500 cash into the landlord's mail slot for rent.

I know that we're missing easy money transfer options that other countries have had for decades, though.
I tried WorldFirst after Oanda stopped participating in this business and referred their customers to WF.

The two turned out to be nothing alike. Oanda used to let little people convert currency on the same platform as proper FX traders (speculators). This meant you could pay a tiny fee and get some of the most competitive rates in the world because you were trading directly in their two-sided market.

WorldFirst is different. They make you declare the amount you want to exchange and then they synthesize a rate that expires soon after. There is no way to put in an order at a specific price and they do not show you a two-sided quote which would make it plain how much they're taking.

From what I saw, WorldFirst aims to take about 1.5% of each side of each trade at the when they are large, and even more on small trades.

If you're exchanging $500 you may as well use a bank. If you're exchanging $50000 you may as well use a true trading platform.

When exchanging currency at any online or physical marketplace, look at their two-sided quote to see the spread they charge. If they try to show you only one side (buy or sell but not both), go elsewhere.
You can get things like hip replacements for dogs now, but it isn't cheap. We had a knee replacement for our rottweiler that cost about $10K all up, but he was only 4 when it happened, had he been 8 we probably wouldn't have paid.

I've recently got back in to F#, one thing I like is the fact you can leverage the world of .NET

For instance, first thing I did was I used suave.io to expose a webservice for a digital IO module ( http://www.mccdaq.com/ ) and it amounted to around 50 ish lines of code. Runs flawlessly.

The F# community is pretty awesome as well with a good ratio between experts and people learning the language.
The browser is far more than a program that outputs just that one page. If one page is all we needed, we wouldn't need the program. We'd just need the page.

If we are considering all possible input as input, and all possible output as output, with our static browser in the middle, now the browser is tiny.

Basically, the output is the internet. That's huge.

But this is how theories work. The theory is the tiny thing in the middle. The data it compresses is for all valid instances as input and of corresponding output. If one calculation is all we needed, we wouldn't need theories, we would just need the answer.
It's a manufacturing cost estimate, not a market price.
I signed up for your site already, I'm interested in seeing where this goes. I'm particularly interested in funding libraries, rather than finished products.

Kickstarter still does fine, despite this problem, but it has lead to people using Kickstarter as the final fundraising for manufacturing, which doesn't make a tonne of sense for software.

One option is a milestone-based system where the project author splits the work up into various chunks, and the funding gets released as they are done (as voted on by contributors within a few days of completion?) where if things start diverging too much from expectations the funding stops?

One thin that may be interesting besides developer-driven proposals, but community-driven requests. Sort of how bounties exist already, but potentially on a different scale. People could put their money where their mouth is and pre-commit to their dream open source self-hosted whatever. Maybe even pre-committing money to specific features.

Something like Patreon could exist for software people if people want to fund a maintainer, though that's less clear.
It happened after he finished migrating to Postgres so it's not that relevant. The timing of the relicensing was pretty bad luck in this case.

Reasonable means the simplest and most minimal set of instructions to implement a particular behavior. These are your Primitives for the intermediate language. If you find something that you can't do in terms of the existing instructions, then the required operation should be added to your set of primitives. A good way to figure some of this out is to read through a minimal FORTH, say something like Jones FORTH (https://github.com/phf/forth/tree/master/x86 here's at least one port). The core set of primitives is in the .S assembly file and everything else is implemented in terms of those 'words'. If you want a really simple one, look up something like https://esolangs.org/wiki/Brainfuck and work your way up into a more reasonable (i.e. actual numbers!) ISA.
50/50 on knowing which is which or which one you like?

My wife without fail in blind tasting can tell you which one is which from an age perspective.

Telling the difference between a $10 wine and a $50 wine is not that hard. Getting above $50 it becomes more about how it ages and the complexity of the taste from age. In general a $10 wine will not age well as it is made to drink as soon as it is bottled. If you are paying more it is because the wine will age well.
This may not be authoritative enough, but I found John Levine's "Linkers and Loaders" to be a very informative guide to the general concepts of linking, including the various architectures like ELF and COM.

Edit: not that they're conventionally called "architectures" or that COM has any structure to it.
I vehemently disagree. Here's a tragic anecdote:

I knew a retired Fireman in San Francisco who was in his late 70s, had his house paid off, with a full pension and health insurance.

I asked him: "after WW2, what did people with liberal arts degrees do to find a job?"

His response: "Oh, they'd just make a resume, walk into Clorox and get a job. Didn't you know?"

No, I did not know. And I never will.

Composing pure functions makes more sense, passing function as argument in functional languages is way better than having the higher order component thing. Sure javascript can do that but in the react world, "component" thing go with you everywhere regardless of presentation or dumbest components.
I'm sorry but your situation sounds like it simply doesn't apply to the average SF engineer.

For starters, your salary is about $30k more than the average SF salary.

You managed to find a decent sized 1 bedroom that is FAR below market rate in SF (~3500 to your 2200).

And although not as uncommon, it's still worth mentioning... You're married, and can share living expenses with another person. That means your already low rent of $2200 is even lower, compared to someone who might be single.

+1 on UserVoice. My team (Application Insights) actively reads UserVoice and the MSDN forum, and I know other teams are just as proactive about reaching out to users.
This is an order of magnitude more detailed, IMO.
The most rewarding parts for me were:

- Being valued for my results

- Having to learn skills in disciplines different than my specialty, such as law, sales, & accounting

- Getting better insight into my productivity/output levels (and being able set my schedule around when I was most productive)

- Solving a variety of different problems

- Never a dull moment!

Have fun!!
I'm always a bit shocked at how many adults I've come across whose parents aid them financially - even when they're working. Aren't they ashamed?

I'm late 20s, and don't have as many friends as I used to in my early 20s. But the ones I do pay their own way. I just can't relate to a grown adult living it up on their parents money.

I do sometimes feel uncomfortable working in software though - I'm from a solidly lower class background, and the vast majority of the people I meet grew up middle/upper middle class. I'm on a middle class salary now, but I don't have the accumulated wealth of the previous generation behind me. My mindset is so different. I'm more ambitious, more protective of my free time, and much more frugal.
I never said brown people can't be called expats. Your defensiveness regarding that is more SJW than my original post, which just cited a few articles.
My wife and I are both engineers in our mid 30s, and owning a modest home with a 30 minute commute to the city can probably never happen. The amount of old money around here is staggering. I was raised in the midwest, and can't think of any communities back there where a two-engineer household couldn't live. So yeah it doesn't surprise me fresh liberal arts grads in Boston are getting help.
:) I wasn't arguing with you. I was trying to net out the lunacy you are observing.
Ahhhh that's probably it. $300 / month is easily half the rent if you have a couple of roommates.

... which is exactly how I did it from 22-24, not sure how I forgot that.
Free speech (in the "absolutist" sense you're describing) doesn't necessarily assert that all points of view are equal or equally valid, only that all points of view should be equally expressible. To me, there is nothing in that ideal which insists that lies need to be accepted, or can't be fought against, or disproved.

You seem to be arguing that free speech encompasses a greater breadth of opinion than certain ideologies care to admit, rather than actually discrediting it as an ideal. You're accusing others of false equivalence, by way of false dichotomy.

You also seem to be assuming that anyone who believes in "absolute free speech" does so to defend right-wing, anti science views, which if so is simply not accurate.
You can flip this argument and make a similar point:

"What's wrong with using something like Postgres LISTEN? I don't get the obsession of redis pubsub, or implementing this kind of thing outside the database. I suppose its attractive to "subscribe" to a collection for changes but the pattern can be implemented inside a database which has better tools."

In more constructive terms, databases are familiar to a lot of folks and have reliable guarantees (persistence, ACID) that are generally useful properties. If you're able to achieve the performance you need within the database, then you get a lot of operational benefits from keeping your workload running inside of it. If your workload for some reason is slow inside of a database, then it certainly makes sense to consider specialized alternatives (like Redis). In my experience, however, you can tune a database to perform better than these tools in pretty much every real-world case (i.e. moderate concurrency with realistic load).
BI won't increase average income, it'll simply redistribute income from the top down to the bottom so the average will stay the same. BI will reduce income for those at the top as their taxes will go up much more than they'll get back in BI. BI will increase income for those on the margin, not across the board, so the market rates simply can't go up across the board, BI isn't creating new money and thus won't cause general across the board inflation.
Doesn't this just allow you to pay in 4 payments instead of one? I am not aware that it allows you to pay less.
The funny thing is - this wasn't the case even 20 years ago. Silicon Valley was still a place you went primarily to work on cool stuff, secondarily to hopefully get lucky and build a company worth a shitload of money. You went there to change the world and work with the best, money was a decent side benefit but not required. Most took a pay cut (after cola) to move there and work on these awesome computer things everyone was talking about.

Now it's 100% about the money - just look at what is being funded. Almost no real "tech" companies - just a bunch of folks writing slightly different variations on how to sell ads. I have to try to keep a straight face when I have some obviously-way-more-talented-than-me engineer telling me about some silly worthless app they are working on. It obviously does not move humanity forward or progress the art of their profession in any way - it's just a lottery ticket people have deluded themselves into thinking they are "making the world a better place".

The change in tech startups has been extremely sad for me to watch. What used to be inspiring is essentially now one step removed from fraudulent.

This take is not completely fair - there are a lot of startups also doing interesting things - but it's closer to reality than not - and nothing like what you envisioned as a "startup" even just before the dot com era.
> basic income is actually just a continuation of the same inflationary alchemy

It's no such thing; not remotely. BI isn't new money, it's simply a redistribution of money from those with more to those with less. It won't increase the money supply and thus doesn't cause inflation.

I've never worked with postgres before my current project and I'm so impressed with how easy it is to get stuff done. I used Cassandra for a prototype (bad choice for my workload, not Cassandra's fault) and documentation, ease of tuning, tooling maintenance all seem to be so much easier. Of course, Cassandra has a host of problems to solve that postgres doesn't -- being meant to run on clusters and all. But you know what, I don't care. I also was heavily leaning new stuff before. But what can I say, if an RDBMS is what I need -- I probably should use one.
Renting a room in a shared apartment in a sketchy neighborhood (Mission/SOMA), depending on the company cafeteria for most meals, and riding the bus to work, i.e. the standard startup employee lifestyle, is a marginally lower standard of living than that of a typical grad student. Maybe the Macbook Pro you carry will be kept slightly more up to date.

University campuses typically have everywhere you'll need to go within a compact walkable envelope, and you can generally live within a short walk of one of the edges. The grad students are coming out ahead, in my view, since they don't have to contend with flaky and crowded transit.

If startup employees are being greedy, they're doing an exceptionally poor job of it. They would enjoy much cushier lives as, say, mechanical engineers and accountants in the Midwest.
... do you have any firsthand experience working those jobs? I happen to know a number of pilots for major airlines and it's probably one of the nicest middle-upper class jobs you can get (assuming you can handle the responsibility).

> leaning on pilots to fly with the absolute minimum fuel they can get by with, despite regulations

You mean, asking pilots to use the minimum amount of fuel that is safe. Do you have any evidence that a major airline has ever pressured pilots to use less fuel than the (generous) regulated minimum?

It's been on the radar for a while. It slips under AFAIK because it's considered "a benefit to the employer." There are plenty of good reasons for employers to offer various food/drink benefits. As it approaches three premium meals a day as an advertised perk though, it's not hard to see it slipping into the crosshairs though.
Yeah, this is what threw me:

"“Up to 24% of the aircraft occupants were rendered temporarily unfit for duties following the incident,” the report adds, referring to 25 passengers and seven crew members."

I read that as 'up to 24% of the 25 passengers and seven crew members'. I completely missed the quote at the bottom (beneath the image) that refers to the 198 people. And you're right, the figures don't add up anyway.
I cannot even imagine what kind of lifestyle would result in spending 8K a month in SF. I live in SF spending 4K a month for 2 people

Probably to community theaters (Or hotels, or the equivalents thereof) in Pittsburgh, who picked them up for a discount at a liquidation auction.
