There are bigger threats out there than the current climate change. Antibiotics losing effectiveness is one, yet is seems like almost all countries in the world still ignores that fact.
This is blatant cherry-picking an I'm saying that as a person with left-wing ideals (DN is a right-wing newspaper). These are not "journalistic scandals" in any sense of the words you're making them out to be.

Furthermore, using the same measurement standards as yourself, some of your sources are questionable at best in this matter. Especially GP which has taken a _sharp_, even populist, right turn since the appointment of Teodorescu, for which they've been much more criticized than DN. Sanandaji is not much better than an opportunist, gaining publicity by fueling a sense of media cover-up among right-wing populists. Lately he's been calling the lack of orders from public libraries for his newly released book about the costs of immigration censorship.

This doesn't not even come close to "lost a huge amount of credibility among Swedish intellectuals" nor "has been involved in a number of journalistic scandals (cover ups etc)". You're simply being dishonest.

>> My application never goes into a black hole like it would if I were applying for a company directly.

This. A recruiter is someone 'on the inside' fighting and pushing for you. It's a huge help if you don't have a referral inside the company or know other people that work there.
If both successful and failed businesses can have toxic culture, then I think we've eliminated culture being correlated with business success or failure. Allegations to contrary, in either direction, sound more like survivorship bias.
The graph shows predicted global temperature from climate models, with 90% confidence intervals, varying only that factor and keeping other factors unchanged. So the scale is exactly the same unit - Kelvin.

It is interesting to note that the statistical evidence for global warming is relatively weak (at least compared to particle physics, where 3 to 5 sigma is expected for discoveries), https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/04/07/no-statistically-sign... it is only because we have a known causal mechanism that we can say with confidence that man-made global warming is occurring. I liked that this article focused on causes of global temperature change, even if it did not present the data in a good manner.
I love using third party recruiters to negotiate compensation for me.

I like that they can simultaneously act as consulting firms and get me short term gigs on the side even though they just placed me at a company.

I like that I can get them paid and they can get me paid, by stretching compensation demands.

Fast interviews.

I did make the leap for a nearly a year. The problems you point out are legitimate, and they made me to move back to a smartphone. Hopefully the 3310 fixes some of those bigger issues you point out (eg: group texting) just as a function of being newer.

The market for the 3310 is larger than you think. For one, there are plenty of old people that prefer to have something simple and smartphones are a nonstarter for them. I think we might actually buy two of these for my grandparents, as they're about to move onto our family plan from another provider.

Beyond that, I think a lot of people who walk around with an $800 phone might be interested in spending $50 as an insurance plan, so that if their phone breaks they have a readily available backup, or if they're doing something risky they can have something to take instead. (Of course, that means you can't post photos of your crazy exciting life to Instagram and Facebook while you're experiencing it, so I doubt most people would be interested.)

I personally won't pick one up because it lacks 3G and LTE, and I would never buy a phone that I can't tether to my laptop. I realize the lack of those radios results in the battery life it's able to get, but I'd prefer for it to be disabled by default but still available for when you need it.
That is a really good point a truly annoying experience and a very common occurrence. Very often I get messages that specify the requirements and some buzz words but no mention of company or product that the potential candidate would be working at. I'm wondering if it's a thought through technique as it almost seems like a bait just to get people on the phone.
For things like not letting you overspend an account, blockchains are better (CRDTs exist to do this but have some undesirable properties).

There exist a startlingly low number of cases where a CRDT expressing strong eventual consistency doesn't cut it, though.

Generally you would get a network attached block storage disk (Google Cloud Persistent Disk, EBS volume, etc).

The blog writes from the perspective of an on-prem deployment and suggests you could use NFS to provide a PersistentVolume to Kubernetes. While this is possible, it's probably not best practice, especially if a failure in your NFS will render all your nodes offline at once.
I also have the SE and love it. What's interesting to me is that if the entire surface area of the SE were screen space (no bezel) then the screen would be as large as an iPhone 7's.
The same can be said for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. I hope that this is the direction that Apple is going with new designs. This also leaves the door open for bezel-free iPhone nano that would fit within the current SE screen.
Yes, SOX were regulated to mitigate acid rain, and particulates for health reasons. But then China starting burning massive amounts of dirty coal, with virtually no emissions controls. And that reduced global warming.
I am not so sure about 'natural causes' being the cause of the Mini Ice Age. I am open minded to believing that it was Western diseases that killed off 'native' people in the Americas and plagues that killed people in Eurasia resulting in the forest reclaiming man made clearings, sucking CO2 into the plant life and out of the atmosphere and oceans. There was more to it than a dinosaur style die-off with some mega event causing the woe.
Hey everyone. The SHAttered break made us release a new website for Multiformats: http://multiformats.io which includes a page explaining Multihash -- http://multiformats.io/multihash --

The page goes through a bunch of examples of how a multihash would work in practice, why it is useful to do this, and goes through some FAQs.

I'm writing a post about all this that I'll push out soon, but wanted to drop the site here now.

Please, as you make new systems or start to upgrade your systems out of SHA1 (or MD5!!!), please use Multihash so that your upgrades will be much, much easier in the future. This makes rolling up a matter of recompiling some tools, and by far not facing the horrible breakages that occur when tools and scripts assume certain things (like the hash digest of git will always be 160bits... now git faces breaking a lot of things and may have to stick with 160bits of a truncated SHA3 or BLAKE2...)

Oh also-- definitely check out BLAKE2, it's a fantastic hash function from Zooko, JP Aumasson, Samuel Neves, and Christian Winnerlein -- https://blake2.net -- use it for all your hashing needs! So much faster than SHA2, and has the same "unbrokenness" that SHA3 enjoys. (And, I believe deep cryptanalysis has gone into BLAKE, Keccak is not particularly safer)

The Multiformats site also has a Multiaddr description, but that's far from complete and doesn't have the examples. The other multiformats arent well explained on the website yet. Sorry, coming soon :) we wanted to get this out ASAP -- PR's accepted at https://github.com/multiformats/website (oh and yes, TLS certs coming too)
Crazy idea: buy the rights to sell AMD's Vega GPUs fabbed out of Intel and use Intel's resources to build top-notch math and AI libraries for them.

Stupid idea: Keep insisting that x86-compatibility is the killer feature for winning the parallel processor wars.

Stupidest idea: CS professors continuing to tell their students that learning concurrent programming is too hard.
Regarding "a UNIX experience today", I'd think some *BSD system maybe? I.e. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, or similar.
Ask HN: How microservices works?
Stupid question: how exactly works microservices ? how they comunicate between different apps/languages ? they use rest api or is better use something like zeromq/rabbitmq ?

Sorry to post this here, but honestly I often hear about microservices but I don't really understand what they are.

Any good link/book/slide is welcome.

PS: I will appreciate some examples in real world by big companies(example: how they do in airbnb/uber/whatever ?)

>There is no American carnage. That's the problem. We are, on average, the safest and securest we've ever been.

Average is different than the median.

And there's a ton of wastage of e.g. american soldiers being killed (and especially: killing others) in the middle east and such, with no rhyme or reason as far as the public (and not trillion-dollar military interests) is concerned.

>Putting Iran "on notice" draws us into conflict.

Don't really disagree. But I fail to see how's that different from the previously administrations that constantly had Iraq, a presence that mostly minds its own matters and regional interests and, if the aggression was dropped, could not care less about the US, on the crosshairs (just for a chance for another multi 100-billion dollar war and resource plundering).
In my experience, do a web search with a unique phrase out of the company or job description. It will often lead to the same job posting directly from the company.

Not every problem has to be solved in team fashion and not every member of an organisation has to fit in a hiring pattern.
Also there are “brilliant jerks” or people with out-of-fashion worldview. These people could have their place in an organisation. Clearly this is a leadership challenge, but hey, leaders should learn hard and be great as much as their engineers.
cool ! let me know what you think
(1) Yes, well I think there's no disagreement that Sweden is far more homogeneous than the US.

Sweden is 99% Caucasian and 66% Lutheran. The US is 63% Caucasian and 23% Catholic. Sweden has 10 million? That's the metropolitan Chicago area.

(2) Here's the way averages work: if US homicide rate is 4.5 (Illinois is 3.5 but let's stick with the national rate) and Chicago is 27, there are five Chicago-equivalents with a homicide rate of 0, or nine Chicago-equivalents with a rate of 2.

Mentioning Chicago as more murderous than Sweden, but failing to mention the nine related cities less murderous is stastical gerrymandering.
This is unrelated to StatefulSets, but I'm going to take the opportunity to ask a Kubernetes engineer for help, since the the kubernetes-users Slack channel sort of feels like shouting into a void.

We deploy a small cluster (1 master, 6 nodes) at our startup that started misbehaving last week. All of a sudden three of the nodes went down - one became unresponsive and two had the error "container runtime is down." We couldn't ssh into the unresponsive one, but according to AWS the machine was fine, still receiving network requests and using CPU.

Since we couldn't diagnose the issue, we spun up an entirely new cluster using kops, but started seeing the exact same behavior later that night, and again over the weekend. Three nodes were in a not ready state, for the same reasons (unresponsive and container runtime is down). Right now our only solution to solve this issue is to manually terminate the EC2 instances and rely on the Auto-Scaling Group to create new ones. In the mean time, Kubernetes tells us that it can't schedule all of our desired pods, so half of our jobs aren't running, obviously an undesirable situation.

A handful of questions I have about the situation: Why are these nodes going down? What causes a node to go unresponsive? Why does the container runtime go down on a node and why doesn't it get restarted? Why doesn't Kubernetes destroy these nodes when they've been out of commission for 3-4 hours?

Any help would be appreciated!!! I've been looking through half a dozen log files and gotten zero answers.

Magistra Rules the Waves (2015)
My lesson in financial responsibility was to have to live on 8000--10000$/year for three years. Coming from a solidly middle class income, it was a real shock. I am very credit averse, now, since even a modest level of credit sunk as fixed cost with no benefit.

Anyone know of a vim plugin that has similar functionality?
The problem you're thinking of is when you display two different kinds of data on the same axis and so there's two degrees of freedom in how you choose their relative scaling and offset. This makes it very easy to show "obvious" relationships. But the data here all has a very natural sense in which they share the same axis: they're all temperatures of the world, or simulated values thereof. So the choice in scaling and offset makes little to no difference in how the data is perceived.

You say it's calculable and I agree. What's make you think it isn't calculated? Sorry if I came out as obnoxious, but "you should be able to calculate that" is a veiled accusation that it is in fact not calculated, as if no scientists take this seriously.

"How unlucky we would have been to see this data of the past, if a spike in temperatures had actually happened then" is P(data|hypothesis), the frequentist argument for or against a hypothesis. It's what a p-value is, but arguing what to call it is pointless anyway.
I think the problem is that the incentives generally aren't aligned and it's in your interest to be informed anyway about the opportunities near you. If you're employable spend a few hours or so and do your own research. Make a list of interesting companies that meet your criteria and contact 'em directly. You get to know you are making the more informed choice and from the money they save on not using a recruiter you can try to leverage a starting bonus or additional compensation.

I'd maybe pay for a recruiter that would be willing to do this for me but that isn't how they work. They get reqs and fill them which works for them and their clients but really isn't in your best interests.

> The x87 FPU was originally designed in (or before) 1980. I think that's why it is quite simple: it has only one unit for all FP data types. Of course, the precision must be of the widest type, which is the 80-bit long double.

> Consider you have a program, where all the FP variables are of the type double. You perform some FP operations and one of them is e.g. 1e-300/1e300, which results in 1e-600. Despite this value cannot be held by a "double", it is stored in an 80-bit FPU register as the result. Consider you use the variable "x" to hold that result. If the program has been compiled with optimization, the value need not be stored in RAM. So, say, it is still in the register.

> Consider you need x to be nonzero, so you perform the test x != 0. Since 1e-600 is not zero, the test yields true. While you perform some other computations, the value is moved to RAM and converted to 0 because x is of type "double". Now you want to use your certainly nonzero x... Hard luck :-(

> Note that if the result doesn't have its corresponding variable and you perform the test directly on an expression, the problem can come to light even without optimization.

> It could seem that performing all FP operations in extended precision can bring benefits only. But it introduces a serious pitfall: moving a value may change the value!!!

TIL long double is a thing.
Same here with a Z3. Water damage, they sent me a new one (different color, though).
If your pattern requires you to connect to etcd, then you're not taking the best advantage of Kubernetes.

Yes, you can connect to an etcd instance outside of Kubernetes, or deploy etcd on Kubernetes. CoreOS developed the etcd operator for the purposes of self-hosting the system KV store, but you can of course run a "user" etcd.

A better pattern is relying on the objects provided by Kubernetes, which are themselves backed by a lock service (which happens to be etcd, but that's an implementation detail you shouldn't worry about.)

You could, for example, use an Annotation on an object to do leader election. Look at how HA masters are implemented on Kubernetes, for example:

On the contrary. To the point that, if I was British, I would be gravely insulted, whether I was for brexit or bremain.

>Secondly, they merely stated the facts as the civil service saw it regarding exit providing the frank and fearless advice that is their job.

They oversold their version of the "facts". And the sky hasn't fall, and is not really likely to fall after the process is completed either.

On the contrary, the Euro experiment hasn't been going that well, not just the monetary part, but even its more basic starting premise (as openly stated by the politicians that kickstarted the European union process in the 50s: to keep Germany from getting power over Europe again).

Who says we need a quantum leap? Most technologies progress by slow iterative improvement. The idea of sudden significant breakthroughs is mostly a myth. Even in biology, the human brain only has some slight differences from other primates. Which in turn aren't terribly different from other animals.

In any case, I think there has been tons of progress since the 80s. Taking the best algorithms from the 80s and running them on modern hardware would fail. The core idea of backpropagation and gradient descent was there, but not much else.
