so the conviencince of booking online, and reserving all in one shot and not having to take out your wallet at the restaurant, isn't enough? we'd need a really compelling discount to make people take action and find real value? What kind of discounts are we talking, 35-50%? Or in other words, what would it have to be, for you to use it? IF you would use it, or maybe you wouldn't, and if so, why?
This smells of NIH to me. You built a presentation layer for WP in Ruby because that's what you are comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend that you are building anything other than (possibly) useless middleware. If you wanted a fresh stack with WP, you would use the WP API, Vue or React coupled with any caching software (Nginx, Varnish).

One thing that I think is very much still missing from the Kubernetes Documentation space is hardening guidelines.

There's a lot of moving parts in there and some of the defaults for common install methods like kubeadm might be a bit of a surprise to people (e.g. the kubelet port being default open and allowing someone to take complete control of the cluster without authentication (https://raesene.github.io/blog/2016/10/08/Kubernetes-From-Co...)

Ideally something which broke out the various components and had guidelines for possible security options would be a great addition, I think.
I kind of wonder if there will ever be a kubernetes operator built for Ceph (not rook ontop of Ceph). Besides it being a bit of a PITA to maintain, Ceph is about as good as exists regarding OSS distributed object storage currently. If they could kill some of the operational overhead via an operator that did much of it, they might have a serious winner on their hands. Note that I'm just referring to the radosgw bits for the S3 style storage API, not the posix filesystem bits.
Really? Your first citation is youself[1] and the second one is a random website that's clearly not scientific or published.

How about the NIH? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2826883/figure/...

Gap detection thresholds for different age ranges. Notice that the average for vision is around 20ms, or 50fps. Yeah some people are lower but the large majority of people don't see any faster than 60fps

[1] so its not actually a citation it's just annoying.
I find your offhand dismissal of clustered filesystems, on which literally every supercomputer relies, to be a little strange. They might not have worked well for you, but "googleable" is not the bar that is generally set for the HPC problem space.

Excuse the slight deviation from the principle of the linked article. I am compelled to speak out about one egregious paragraph.

> Meanwhile, in the Essex town of Harlow, a Polish man is murdered in the street by a gang of white youths who apparently heard him speaking his native language.

I spent the first nineteen years of my life in Harlow, living in the area of the murder referenced in the quote above. Most reports suggest the attack happened after a prolonged confrontation[0], not on sight of sound of a Polish voice.

While this act was desperately sad, Harlow remains a home to relatively large Polish and Lithuanian populations. It is, however, also afflicted by high youth unemployment and drug-related crime. The Stow in particular has seen some horrible crimes over the last 10-20 years, including the brutal murder of my childhood friend's aunt, mere feet away from the scene of the 2016 murder[1]. Indeed, violent crime is a real problem[2].

I found it distasteful at the time when sections of the press pounced upon this story in a reckless frenzy of angry, vindictive narrative building in the immediate aftermath of the EU exit referendum vote. I find it to be utterly disgraceful now.

Maybe I am out of date, but to the best of my knowledge, with my usage pattern I can't upvote in a meaningful way.

I am assuming it's still correct that upvoting on /newest is the most effective (or only) way to do it.

Just looked this up, I joined this site 2061 days ago, before that I was a logged out reader for a while. I don't think I visited /newest more than 10 times - I only read via RSS, and usually only once or twice per week - skimming over a lot, reading the comments for many - usually 100 - 300 posts at a time. If HN ever stops providing a RSS feed, I am probably gone anyway.

This is not a critique towards HN, but the OP maybe takes his own usage pattern as the default (maybe it is, I wouldn't know).
...That would explain the metallic taste. Good advice, thanks.
A few years ago, Britain made rules that forced the banks to make it easy to switch accounts. This was to improve competition between banks, and hence improve service and prices for customers.

I used it. It required closing the old account, but everything was done automatically: bill payments transferred over to the new account, the remaining balance, pending cheques, and any incoming electronic transfers for the next 13 months. They also sent some kind of electronic message to my employer, updating my bank account details on their system.

Dear Yahoo user,

We are writing to inform you about a data security issue that may involve your Yahoo account information. We have taken steps to secure your account and are working closely with law enforcement.

What happened?

In November 2016, law enforcement provided Yahoo with data files which a third party claimed was Yahoo user data. We analysed this data with the assistance of external forensic experts and found that it appears to be Yahoo user data. Based on further analysis of this data by the forensic experts, we believe that an unauthorised third party stole data associated with a broader set of user accounts in August 2013, including yours. We have not been able to identify the intrusion associated with this theft. We believe that this incident is likely distinct from the one that we disclosed on 22 September 2016.

What information was involved?

The stolen user account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (using MD5) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. Not all of these data elements may have been present for your account. The investigation indicates that the stolen information did not include passwords in clear text form, payment card data or bank account information. Payment card data and bank account information are not stored on the system that we believe was affected.

What we're doing

We are taking action to protect our users:
We are requiring potentially affected users to change their passwords.
We invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers so that they cannot be used to access an account.
We are constantly enhancing our safeguards and systems that detect and prevent unauthorised access to user accounts.
What you can do

We encourage you to follow these security recommendations:
Change your passwords and security questions and answers for any other accounts on which you used the same or similar information used for your Yahoo account.
Review all of your accounts for suspicious activity.
Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that ask for your personal information or refer you to a web page asking for personal information.
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
In addition, please consider using Yahoo Account Key, a simple authentication tool that eliminates the need to use a password on Yahoo altogether.

For more information

For more information about this issue and our security resources, please visit the Yahoo Account security issues FAQs page available at https://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_AU&page=content&y=....	Protecting your information is important to us and we are constantly working to strengthen our defences.

Yours sincerely,

Bob Lord

Good startup founders manage their VCs so that their VC is just another resource they call upon when necessary. (Ironically, VCs seem to like this situation a lot better than when they have to manage their founders.) Weak startup founders do whatever their VCs tell them to. The former leads to startups with the culture of the individual startup, which is usually closely patterned after the founding team's core values. The latter leads to startups with VC culture.

“Can anyone seriously say that Vanuatu doesn’t have the right to exercise its health sovereignty in every way possible to protect its population from an epidemic of that scale?”

I would usually say exactly that. It's up to individuals to make decisions about what they do and do not eat and live with the consequences. Foods that accurately state their nutritional content and contain only ingredients that can be safely eaten in moderation should not be banned under ordinary circumstances because overconsumption is unhealthy. The rate of increase in obesity-related disease, however is astounding and arguably justifies extraordinary measures.
But if I read the picture properly, AMD appears to be 8 times(!) faster than anything else:

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/AMD-Ryzen...

That seems to be untypically good, in the market where the new generations brought typically 10-20%.

I still wouldn't say it's impossible, as, for example, Intel had (apparently until Sandy Bridge) much slower NaN handling than AMD, at least without SSE2. So maybe AMD discovered some weak point like that. But until I read some explanation, it does seem to be too good...
I was all-in with six. Three people to write the code. Two people to write the documentation and otherwise interface with the public. One person to answer all of the emails and attend all of the meetings and make sure nobody interrupts the other five people.

If you have headcount for "testing" then I don't want to use your software. Tests are integral to coding and should be written first.
Yes, it made me recall this, though I first saw it in FOSDEM '15 talks [1]. I thought it'd be nice to see what people think about this as I'm in the looks for a TeX alternative.

One trick is to postpone the correction of a typo for instance until you're done with your current editing. And there's also plenty of ways to switch between modes: i,I, o, O, a, A, and ^o and ^d (insert mode) which are occasionally handy.

Also people often duplicate Esc to the "jk" combination. I personally use ^L instead, but for no particular reason.

On AZERTY keyboards, the nastiest shortcut for me is ^[ ("jump to tag", which is ctrl-AltGr-5). I simply remapped it to F2.
A second one is ` (backtick, altGr-7), which I remapped to ' (tick). I did not move tick somewhere else, it wasn't useful enough to me to bother doing it.

See :map and :noremap for how to do these things.

Probably because Mike Ives is submitting the report from Hong Kong. I guess he could have flown in and done the reporting on-site, but probably was able to get all the information via other means and it didn't require him to go on-site.
True, but e.g. the tax difference between an average salary in Norway and the US is far too small to even make up the private healthcare costs and other additional costs, and Norway has a far flatter salary structure - far more more peope are close to the average salary.

The effect is that very large proportions of the population end up with a better standard of living.

I'm inclined to agree with you, albeit from the "Bernie's not left enough" side -- I was amongst those who were critical of his decision to go Democrat in the first place, announcing right from the start that he'd endorse Hillary if he lost, which he did, and WTF does that mean for his policies/politics???

However, I'm surprised that you aren't offended by the DNC's corruption and dishonesty. Say what you want about Bernie -- you can't deny he attracted much new blood to the party; he was the last hope of reclaiming the lost passion of the 2008 Obama campaign. The DNC's open hostility to his candidacy was shameful. If you're trying to imply that somehow it had no effect on the primary outcome, you should share whatever you're smoking with the group.
So I'm curious and click on the "Examples" link in the navigation, and there's just no justification for the first picture. ;)

With the rise of weaponised viral clickbait and advertising-driven Internet competition over attention, we've seen an increase in algorithmic content created solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenues.

Even that isn't an entirely new phenomenon. The rise of "penny presses" -- daily common-circulation newspapers based on advertising, and selling for a penny, as opposed to the "professional" six-cent press, gave rise to the New York Sun's Great Moon Hoax of 1835, with the goal of driving up circulation numbers:

In all honesty if I were you I would sue them plain and simple. Partially to discourage this company behavior for the other employees remaining who Im sure continue to endure it. And partially as compensation for having to endure a lot of unethical and illegal work environment behaviors being endorsed by the company on the low. You really should seek being compensated for this for the good of everyone involved.

This is true, but I should point out that an organization with foresight would not permit harassment of employees, because the long-term cost of the lawsuits and bad publicity will be bad for the organization.
Thanks! Yes, it's hard to do well even under ideal conditions. That fact is what makes me think that usually my biggest obstacle is probably me, even when I'm certain my deadlines are holding me back, and what in turn causes me to project that onto others who complain about deadlines and management.
The obesity situation on Pacific islands is a complex interaction of genetics, economics, and geography/geopolitics: a small genetic predisposition to larger frames and more efficient fat storage (described in multiple papers, like this one [1]), poor and underdeveloped economies increasingly unable to compete in a globalized world, and a shift [2] to energy-dense diets driven by affordability, convenience, and long shelf-life necessary to survive a long import journey and inexpensive storage for year-round availability.

This, coupled with a "modern" lifestyle of less and less manual labor results in an overabundance of unspent caloric intake. As the article in [2] says, which specifically talks about Micronesia but is applicable elsewhere in the Pacific:

"Micronesians are essentially selling their own natural food resources for a fraction of the true value, and then using the revenue to import nutrient-poor food (...) The FSM does not have the infrastructure to realistically compete in the global tuna market. Thus, the current structure of the Pacific tuna industry is an example of how lack of development (partly due to the U.S subsidies and U.S. dependence) has lead the FSM to continue to be dependent on foreign nations. The cash-economy stemming from the tuna industry contributes to the continued cycle of food dependence, imported-food, and poor diet, which is partly responsible for Micronesia's unhealthy, obese population."

Edit: As with regard to Vanuatu specifically, you can read a report on their food, agriculture, and fishery situation here [3], authored by FAO of the UN. To paraphrase, widespread industrial fishing by foreign nations was prevalent decades ago, but has since shifted to other Pacific states. Subsistence fishing occurs, but the cash-based economy (i.e. where you buy your food, rather than catch it) is much larger, and the presence of tourism sites has priced most locals out of domestically-caught fish, while leaving imported chicken and domestic beef affordable, as well as imported canned fish. This report doesn't mention foods typically considered junk food, but calorie-dense imports of shelf-stable food are documented elsewhere.

HR doesn't work for you, it works for the company.

Every developer on an Apple device who actually makes apps for Apple devices. There are a lot of devs on Macbooks who produce server applications that run on Linux, possibly more than create iOS or macOS apps.
HR is there to protect the company in the US. I've seen lots of people fired over things like this. If they had fired you they would have given you severance in exchange for a gag order given the circumstances. Under the Obama administration you might have seen more prosecution over things like this but not under Trump.
