I worked on the BigQuery team and happy to answer any questions you may have. There are quite a few AWS customers running on BigQuery. (See [0], [1] [7], [8] )

I'll offer some resources:

- A session from last Google NEXT, where Yahoo, NY Times, and Blue Apron detail their experience with migrating to BigQuery [0]

- A session from previous Google NEXT, where Kabam Games detailed their experience with migrating to BigQuery (and running the rest of their workload on AWS) [1]

- A blog "15 things you probably didn't know about BigQuery" [2]

- A blog detailing what BigQuery means by "fully managed" [3]

- A blog offering some details on most recent iteration of Dremel "In-memory query execution in Google BigQuery" [4]

- A blog describing Capacitor, the opinionated storage format that replaced ColumnIO (on which Parquet is based) [5]

- "BigQuery Under The Hood" [6]

- Since you specifically asked about Load Performance, [9]

My friend is a poker pro, and his life is nowhere like this. I'd say he plays maybe 100-120 hours per month. He's been a pro for 10 years now. His cost of living are low though (about $1500 per month).

Something that could help is perhaps a choice that examples should work in (e.g.) Firefox recent.x on ubuntu, then provide a VM and archived version of firefox. Put it on a platform that archives things with C/LOCKSS and get a doi, then although you're not expecting people to use it on a daily basis, it'd cover several "worst case" kind of scenarios.

Of course that's not completely permanent, but would perhaps provide some more safety.

My point was that the whole concept of a map is political, even if the disputes don't directly involve this issue with them. The whole world doesn't use the Mercator projection, they use ones more suited towards representing their hemisphere. That's politics.

As for your last point, the fact that you have to mention the drawbacks and advantages of different maps shows that there isn't actually one right answer. That's politics. Map choice has to accept limitations. You can't get a globe everywhere, the 2D plane is still really popular in our world so it's not a binary choice between "globe" and "Robinson", but rather "what exactly am I looking for in a map". It is politics and you can't just immediately shut down anything deviating from the status quo because "my way is the only way".
I would give all my upvotes to this if I could.
That's exactly what I do with Gnome Shell. Depending on the day, I have the terminal on one side and the browser on the other, or simply a half-screen terminal over top of my browser and I flip between them. When I launch a graphical app that I am working on for testing, it appears behind, and so I just flip the terminal from one side of the screen to the other as needed, or bring it to the front if really necessary.

I would say that the _only_ thing I'm missing in Gnome is the ability to fit a window to the quarter screen, although I believe there are some plugins that can do this.

> Tests show that simple ECC solutions, providing single-error correction and double-error detection (SECDED) capabilities, are not able to correct or detect all observed disturbance errors because some of them include more than two flipped bits per memory word

But anyway - even if ECC was perfect at preventing the issue, lots of hosts do not use ECC. That includes practically every desktop.
Not GP, but it sounds awfully like they're trying to get rid of a >3MB flash chip on the next iteration of the product they're making by moving it into a more limited amount of flash that's already on another chip, which would mean one less component and could also reduce board size.
This is New York State, not NYC, and at least the article seems to focus on rural communities. That could make some things easier considering the NYC ground is notoriously chaotic already. Then again, the lower density could make it more expensive, and many more jurisdictions will be involved.

Governments actually have a pretty good track record with larger projects, either equal to and, in some cases, outperforming private companies. What works against them is their tendency to oversell to get approval in the first place, leading to news stories of cost overruns. And, of course, that you rarely hear about projects working as expected, or private projects going wrong.
Hopefully this won't be another ResearchGate dressed in open source clothing.
I agree that the sheer power and reach of SCOTUS today, and increased partisanship in practice (even though everyone pretends it's a non-partisan body), does necessitate some reform. But electing judges makes no sense - you might as well then just give the fullness of power to Congress, a la UK's parliamentary sovereignty.

What I think we should do is revisit what exactly SCOTUS does, and why. Right now they basically have the final say in any question of constitutionality, and the outcomes are either "it's constitutional" or "it's unconstitutional". I think that's wrong - the third possible outcome should be "Constitution is ambiguous on this". Currently this gets folded into one of the other options, depending on the majority of the court, but I think it's a poor model - if Constitution really is ambiguous, I don't want a simple majority of a few unelected people, many of whom are quite partisan, to make that decision.

Instead, I think this option (ambiguity) should be explicit. The way it would work is something like this - if the court decision is unanimous (or maybe with at most one dissenter) one way or the other, then it's assumed that the Constitution is really unambiguous on the subject, and that's the ruling - same as now.

But if you get a bigger split, then the ruling is automatically "ambiguous". At that point all the disagreeing parties on the court should have to sit down and write a short opinion on what changes to the Constitution they would require to make the other side's opinion unambiguously correct (if there are more than two sides - which can be the case if different judges rule the same way for different and unrelated reasons - then such opinions should be written for all parties other than the one in question).

Then, those opinions are automatically submitted as proposed constitutional amendments to the states for ratification, per usual procedure, except that each state can only ratify one at a time, and there's a reasonable time limit. If one of the amendments wins, then (since all judges have already stated under oath that this is what is required to remove any ambiguity) the ruling is in favor of the corresponding opinion.

If none of the amendments get the requisite majority of state ratifications, then court decides based on simple majority, just like today - but the resulting decision is not considered binding precedent, and only applies to that one case. If the same ambiguity arises in future cases, the process has to be repeated.

Ideally, this should be combined with a lower bar for constitutional amendments - 3/4 of states is really quite ridiculous, given the sheer number of them, and population differences. Something like 2/3 would be more sensible. Although ideally it should incorporate direct popular vote in a referendum as well, in a series of cascading vetoes to check each other - e.g. 2/3 of popular vote is enough to amend, but a simple majority of states can veto that, but 3/4 of popular vote can override the veto.

If the hashes are known to match, there is really no need for the original pictures, the evidence is already there?

This makes it sound more like it's a fishing expedition for evidence to use in other investigations, or to find evidence for a more severe punishment, both of which one can morally agree or disagree with, but is it how justice should work? I honestly don't know, but I think probably not.

It's a detestable crime, which is exactly why we must not allow the law to be bent out of shape because of that, as the results will be used in other cases where our moral compass maybe wouldn't sway our judgement as much.

The only justice we can enact, flawed at rational reasoning as we are, is a dispassionate justice. One where we as much as possible defer to the few rational facilities we have. Weak, but nonetheless, logical and rational thinking, is what we must base our arguments upon, as we are so easily swayed by our instinct to protect our children at any cost, often with little regard to what consequence it might have in a distant future.

Antonopoulos on the Bitcoin forking debate
Andreas Antonopoulos was talking in Singapore last night. Vitalik Buterin was in the audience. Here's my initial writeup of what transpired.
Ok, I know nothing about law, but if that is the case, and we agree that an overseas ten year old kid could successfully distribute the images referenced in this case, to thousands of epileptics with a handful of fake social network accounts targeting online communities for epileptics on websites that auto-play gif's, with intentions to kill them, and zero chance of ever getting caught through investigation, than the only logical solution would be to temporarily shut down the internet until we find a solution; I can only imagine the fallout as soon as these terrorist organizations get word of these articles. Clearly this is many times more dangerous than firearms are, and there is zero regulation and virtually limitless access for everyone on earth. I'm not going to try and find statistics, but I'm willing to bet that posting an image to maybe hurt people you can't and have never seen, people that are hardly tangible, especially to a child, who have never exhibited any sort of actual tangible human actions in response to other, less drastic attacks (such as name calling) has got to be hundreds of times easier to rationalize and commit to for a child, or anyone, than it is for a child to choose to use a firearm on another human. When a child touches a gun without permission, all humans exhibit immediate terror, most young kids are probably afraid of guns, yet we have extreme regulations on those, however, children start using the internet on tablets and phones often before their first birthday. Companies that auto-play gif's and have had multiple reports of such images, should be held accountable, along with many others.
Turns out it was, as I found out later.

Ask HN: I feel like everything I want to say is already said or written
Hi HN,

I read a lot of blog posts. There are many people in tech space that I praise and follow. I read a lot of opposing opinions and follow some of the online communities. But mostly I feel expressing my own opinion is pointless. Lots of things I think are said or written about and I find it difficult to join online communities as I don't feel I belong.
Writing a blog would be yet another one in countless other posts with about failure, success, startups, etc. Writing a blog in tech would be another one in the technical challenges that are solved.

I'm curious to know how HN members break this mental entry barrier and become "a part" of this community or any other online community.

Thanks

I wonder, don't cellphone networks have ways to handle it? E.g. if they detect a phone that behaves as if travelling 13km up at 900km/h, couldn't they just tag it as "in flight" and ignore it for the next few minutes?
It's a nice spin of cloud providers to use "serverless" as a euphemism for "runs only on our proprietary platform and is virtually impossible to migrate away from".
My advice is that whenever you become confident/comfortable in your current work, that's when you have to change team or company.
Whenever it gets easy, it means you have stopped learning. I agree with what was said about tools; it doesn't make you a better programmer to know all the latest ES6 features and frameworks.
What makes you a better programmer is your ability to adapt and customize your approach to different situations and environments (with different scalability, stability, interactivity, security, time and regulatory constraints).
I've been through a lot of different companies (I usually stay 6 months to 1.5 years each on average) and the environments/workflows are usually VERY different each time.
After changing a few times, it gets easier to move between different companies - You learn how to produce code that is universally acceptable and not just acceptable within the confines of a single company.

How to USE STREET VIEW IN ANDroid APPS?
Grant money used for GPON is never a good idea :( And the reason why they are using fiber is obviously the large average distance between potential subscribers in rural New York. Note how they are talking about broadband in the article, the poor people don't have any broadband yet. So they didn't even had ADSL yet and therefore it's no surprise that they are directly jumping to fiber.

It would be interesting to know if they are going for 100% coverage? Or are they only building fiber to the lucrative communities?

And the 100Mbit/$60 plan is too expensive if there is no cheaper option.

It's not really a confusion of cause and effect. It's that most probably there's a cause-and-effect somewhere we don't know. America the landmass did exist before we got to know that it did.

It's quite suggestive that most of the nervous situations can lead up to physiological phaenomena like crying, laughing or stomach pain.
Fair enough - and I expect it probably varies by individual. I would strongly wager that I get more done at a coffee shop, or some place with a low buzz, than sitting alone at my house - as long as the conversation isn't directly at me. I do bring some high quality over ear headphones with me in case it gets temporarily loud though.
Interesting, though, because screenshots aren't searchable.
Let's put it this way: 9/11 achieved exactly what was intended - it sent the US into a tailspin, and it's dragging the rest of the first world down with it. The current condition of US politics wrt. terrorism is best described as acute case of autoimmune disease. The damage of overreaction being much, much worse than the original attack.

That doesn't mean Bin Laden won - history is not a game, the round didn't end yet. US can still recover - if it choses to.
Humans have caused far more extinctions than any other species. In a way you could consider that a sign of success/dominance. (Obviously most would instead view it as a tragedy. Regardless, it's a distinguishing factor.)

Write for yourself as a public-private diary and just put it out there. Write once a year, twice a year, every day, or every week -- no pressure.

Just do what makes you happy, and keep happiness the goal. I'm sure you'll kill it. There's no person in the world exactly like you, so there's no set of thoughts out there exactly like yours (I mean, given infinite people - sure, but in a set of 7 billion, it's unlikely), so write what makes you happy and even if it's just a little different, but you enjoy it -- that's all that matters.
skiing a bit harder than beginners (be it black, Verbier's yellow, steep off-piste in dense forest and variable bad snowpack and so on) doesn't require that high level of strength/stamina nor is it very demanding beyond psychological 'fear' (of perceived dying/injuring).

I do all of it, with ski touring/alpinism you get to places that make any steep slope in ski resort look easy and manageable. narrow couloirs with not much margin for error will fix these perceptions for good.
Very good advice! Also, supporting the code you write in production. Getting woken up to debug your own code really makes you write code that is well tested (as well as possible )and easy to debug.

Um, no. 3.84% to 2.08% being an approx 40% reduction is exactly what is being avoided currently in research since its reduction of less than 2 percentage units. Imagine a medication that has a "20% and 40% reduction in mortality": You'd have to have more than 150 people treated to the max to save one person vs other cases (more than 75 to save vs no medication). Not 5 as your percentage implies. Not very efficient way to spend money if you ask me.
