I don't know if it's the holy grail but it's surely one of the nicest and most impressive piece of tech I've seen since I tried Asterisk 10 years ago and had a long OMG moment myself.

The ecosystem is growing by the day and Kubernetes itself changes a lot very quickly. The pace of its development is sometimes crazy. You might find yourself trying to stay on top of the latest release just to notice there's a new one out of the door and that you will surely want to move to. In this regard I would say to wait a bit, hold your horses and come back to Kubernetes once its release cycle is a bit saner for production environments (my personal estimation is by the end of this year, or earlier than that).

What is missing in my opinion is a better container backend other than Docker (I just find it not enough for more complex scenarios, too bloated, there is the PID-1-hell, etc). With the new container runtime interface I am sure this won't be a problem in the long term.

Also, storage. I mean, the whole user side of setting it up is a breeze. The new release makes it even more simple apparently. However I'm still not very sure how reliable things are here. Maybe it's just me not understanding how storage works in a Kubernetes world... whatever. I know for a fact I am not the only one with this concern though.

What I can tell you is that after seeing a full deployment pipeline in Kubernetes actually working, and seeing all its load balancing and HA and rollout/rollback features, I am not going to stop using it.

My recommendation for starters: the docs are good, read about every Object type and things will eventually "click" in your head. Make sure you understand every bit that is inside a spec file, it will make things easier to understand. Get how ingress/egress work, they can be a pain in Kubernetes sometimes. Try minikube, for Darwin's sake.
I disagree with your decision on what feature set was necessary to be launch ready. Not to put too fine a point on it but I think it's worth saying out loud that software that users can't quit out of is not ready for launch, especially if your docs clearly state that quitting the app is required for uninstallation.
A major campaign point behind the original Scottish independance vote failing was that by leaving the rest of the UK, Scotland would threaten its ability to be part of the EU.

This seems like a form of the HN "middle-brow dismissal" where you claim an expert is wrong because they didn't explicitly rebut the first thing you happened to think of. Those people are called "discouraged workers" and are tracked.

One reason wages don't go up is that the value of employer benefits goes up every year because of the incredible cost of providing health insurance.

Pro-independence has risen in the polls since Brexit. It's enough to give the SNP enough political clout to push for another referendum. Brexit was a remote possibility during the IndyRef campaign. On the contrary, Cameron said multiple times that Scotland would have no guaranteed place in the EU as an independent country, making thinly veiled threats of opposing Scotland joining the EU. Cameron was backed in this by the conservative Spanish government who would very much like to prevent Catalonia from holding its own referendum.
Awful. I stand to profit greatly from that data being commercially available but the personal violation underlying it is unjustifiable.

Who will be the first to start a "privacy-driven" ISP with marked up prices?
This is the central thesis of Trust Me, I'm Lying by Ryan Holiday. The internet ruined media by changing the revenue model to a per-article rather than per-subscription basis. He made this claim in 2012, long before most people recognized how dangerous the changing media ecosystem was going to be.

Great book, if you're looking to understand how media in the internet age became such a disaster I recommend it highly.
If he feels he didn't suffer for being black, why should he get any preferential story treatment from Inc. over anybody else who didn't suffer for their race or background? His point is very poorly argued.
But seeing such a strong Scottish Remain vote seems to justify giving them a chance to stay in the EU as an independent nation.
This is pretty funny, especially since they had an opportunity to fix the mistake after advent of GPS. Thanks for this!

As an off-topic, I actually visited Quito, but didn't know about the monument. I did, however, cross the equator on the New Year's Eve while en route between Galapagos islands. I still have the screenshot of my Android screen showing the 0º 0' 0" latitude close to midnight. A lot of my work at the time had to do with navigation and positioning; I got a kick out of the Galapagos airport code for that reason.
2 years ago, we released a pretty complex project (real time updates, event sourcing, dozens of views, etc) using virtual-dom into production.
2 designers were with us and occasionally helped with the crafting of views, they never complained and weren't lost at all; they actually found it funny and enjoyed it.

"It's familiar good ol HTML" is marketing again.

The argument about underpowered templates being easier to optimize is true though (see svelte for another approach), but it doesn't seem to matter nowadays. Good luck finding an actual difference with a good virtual-dom lib (known for their GC demands) even on a low powered machine on a real app.
In that case, what exactly is happening under the hood?
I agree with you.

But if a single process has the single account on the database, how do you partition those permissions? Simply providing multiple logins won't help if you assume hostile code is in your process space.

On the other hand, if each service has its own login, then the database can enforce lowest authority for each. A compromise of one service isn't a game over scenario.

It's the difference between having a single account with the union of all permissions, or disjoint sets.
And another interesting thing to note about the approach taken here, is that I did several surveys and interviews that explored why developers choose the languages they do, and there were many cases where people could have (arguably should have) chosen either of OCaml/Haskell but didn't. I wanted to find out why, and the most common responses were that: they didn't like the syntax of OCaml, they didn't like the available build systems, the installation was too difficult or didn't integrate with their familiar workflow, it needed a better debugger, and the type errors needed improvement (approximately in that order for the groups I asked - which were heavily biased towards application developers). So, the approach we're taking is to solve the most common objections we can do something about, and other people in the OCaml community are making tons of progress towards solving these problems as well (build systems and gdb support for example) (as well as ones I think are even more important than all of the ones I heard about in my survey (multicore etc)).
Yes, and 8) being a library and not having any code snippets.
I think you've stacked up so many assumptions and points of risk that you're headed for disappointment.

For example, you're using $2 CPM as a baseline, then just multiplying by your 6 ad slots. There probably aren't very many broad audience, high traffic websites out there getting consistent $12 CPMs. That seems really high for any kind of entertainment, viral site. I think $1-2 would probably be more realistic, especially since you're using ad networks instead of selling inventory directly.

Also, I suspect 10 pages per visitor is high, but maybe not.

Finally, it's easy to say "one visitor per second", but that seems kind of arbitrary. Why not ten per second or one per minute? It might be harder than you think to build up to 25 million pageviews per month.

I think you've thought this out well in some regards, but this could very easily turn into something that gets a tens of thousands of visitors per month and ends up making a few hundred dollars, not a few hundred thousand dollars.

Good luck though, I really do hope it works out!
If that happens, the entanglement would be broken, and Charlie wouldn't know.

There was a Scythian ritual/sport that involved a rider slashing his horse's throat, and riding it down. I gather that it was dangerous. Rather like a mix of bull fighting and rodeo, except with horses.

In the House, 15 Republicans broke ranks to vote against the repeal. With five more votes, it would have failed. That's a very close vote.

The takeaway here is that if you have a device that's so old it's not supported for iOS 10 updates, it's a doorstop.
Sequencing DNA in archival specimens like Foundation has significant limitations. The ability to predict drug responses from this data alone seems quite limited. For example, the most common alteration, loss of function variants in TP53, is not at present druggable.

Additionally, one of the greatest revolutions in cancer therapy - immunotherapy - does not have a great genomic-based predictive biomarker (Foundation Medicine has created a surrogate test using mutation burden, but this is not really good enough, and not validated prospectively).

So DNA sequencing is only part of the story. Some tumours in particular seem driven by epigenetic changes, or structural variants that Foundation cannot detect.

Sequencing is in a place where it has reached technical maturity, and has collided with big data hype. But in reality, the benefit to patients will be incremental. There is at present zero good quality evidence that panel based genomic screening like Foundation Medicine provides improves patient outcomes as a general strategy.
Just a clarification: I am not saying Kubernetes will only be good for production envs by the end of the year, what I tried to say is that this year is going to be THE year for Kubernetes and it will see lots of changes that makes it worth to wait a little longer and start with the right release that contains all the nice bits you would expect it to have, say, today.

Probably not, and therefore the manufacturer was looking for rock-bottom prices, and thereby got what they paid for.
The British have always been rather keen on giving people the "right to vote" when it is best for them. The last few Scottish independent votes were times selected with the best odds of remain (same with northern Ireland for that matter).

In addition, it's worth noting that the conservatives only hold 31 out of 130 seats. Less than a quarter of the populace voted for them, yet for some reason they think they can speak for the population of Scotland as a whole?
Rust can expose a C ABI, so that means you could write Rust ones too, same mechanism as the Linux ones.
> Turns out the Chinese either had worse quality control or poorer skill, but they simply couldn't produce at the same level.

China can, actually.

We've had molds made for the smallworks.com products in both China and locally (Austin, TX)

These molds, due to the desire to interface with LEGO products, have to produce products that are both "higly cosmetic" as well as dealing with the extreme tolerances of LEGO's system.

It's about 1/3 the price to make the molds in China. Due to shipping and import duties, it's about the same price to run production in the US as in China.
> So it's a good bet that the fact that English is the language of science and technology (for now) is not entirely coincidental.

Unless it was the intricacy of English spelling that finally drove Hitler over the edge, resulting in the US rising as the sole superpower while France and Germany crashed and burned, I'm not sure how they could be possible related.

Man, what happened to the people that created the British Empire? The one that the sun never set over? Losing Australia and India and Canada, sure, they're overseas, hard to manage, and the cultures are (in some cases) very different. But England and Scotland? Find me an older partnership than that one (yes, I know it hasn't always been friendly, but still). And for some reason, Brits are content to throw all of it away and shrink back inside their turtle shell.

As an American, I love watching Top Gear and feeling their nostalgia for great British cars, and for cars made in someone's shed with panels pounded by hand over wooden molds... are there any actual British car companies left from those days? Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by the Indians, Mini is owned by the Germans, MG is owned by the Chinese.

Is this what Great Britain is now? Just the bottom half of a tiny island in the North Sea? And people are content with this? I understand empires rise and fall but it's still kind of sad to watch. A nation that once owned the entire world, now they're closing their borders because they're afraid of the big scary world outside.

Glad to see Scotland isn't putting up with it.

Hopefully that works for you, but let me know if you have any questions :)
Two interesting aspects to this vote:

1. Rhetorically, "every argument used by Theresa May against the EU can be used against her by Nicola Sturgeon" [1]. Returning control, cleaving oneself from a significant trading partner, waiting to know the precise terms... These arguments are both use by and usable against Theresa May.

2. As a New Yorker, I'm excited. It's sad, particularly since smart people I know voted to Leave. But our city has an unrivaled claim to London's crown in the Middle East, Western Europe and Northern Africa. Worst case: we can arbiter between the City of London and emerging economic centers in Dublin and Edinburgh.

I'll take a stab at it because I think it's a useful discussion. Allowing internet companies to make contractual arrangements with their customers will result in situations similar to Google. Google shows you ads for things you are interested in, and in return you get a really great search engine for free. Similarly, if ISPs are allowed to collect information about your browsing habits, and sell it to advertisers, they will lower the monthly rates for consumers. The consumers can then choose whether they would rather pay lower rates and their ISP sells their browsing information to advertisers, or pay more.

The obvious followup is complaints about how ofter consumers don't have a choice. Perhaps the reason there is so little competition is that local municipalities enter into franchise agreements where in order to add internet to one house, you have to agree to cover the entire area. This makes it so that only big pockets and people that can influence politicians get the build an ISP. Also, we could look at access fees to explain monopoly providers. https://www.wired.com/2013/07/we-need-to-stop-focusing-on-ju...

If there were genuine competition perhaps real consumer preference would win out, whichever that may be. Rather than deciding how much people value privacy, perhaps we should let people choose for themselves at a level other than the federal one.
You can think of a circle as an infinity-gon.
There are half a dozen CL implementations, for various purposes:

sbcl, ccl and open source implementations with built in compilers.

ecl is similar, but designed to be easily embeddable in C applications

clasp is a newer one that's built on top of llvm (still unstable, as far as I can tell, but actively developed)

abcl targets the jvm platform and, consequently, can gives you access to all the libraries in the Java ecosystem.

And then there are commercial implementations like LispWorks and Allegro that have their own benefits: Lispworks has, I here, a very nice cross-platform GUI library and, although I don't know much about it, I suspect Allegro has it's own perks.

And, because of the community's emphasis on avoiding implementation-specific behaviors, which implementation you choose isn't that big a deal: I regularly develop a project under multiple implementations, and seldom have major issues doing so.
Keep the pressure up. If ISPs actually do almost any of the acts that this repeal enable, this vote will have ramifications that politicians will want to distance themselves from.

With over 20,000 phone calls to Congress in just 48 hours, this is now on the scopes of current congresspeople (and those who would like to campaign against them).

It's pretty popular problem. I recently got this book "The Positioning Manual for Technical Firm" by Philip Morgan from my friend and it's basically about how to move from generalist to in-demand specialist. The book has exercises how to determine for who and what service you could provide to position yourself as specialist. Maybe you will find this useful.
>Maybe being forced a "life is a meaningless accident and determism means you're just a flesh robot" message since birth is the problem? I follow a basic spritual path of my own doing and its very fulfilling. Its buddhism-lite with a fair bit of meditation and more estoric stuff like lucid dream practice and engage in my own form of 'right speech' and 'right action.' I'm so much more alive than I was before when I just bought into the typical young man's nihilism game.

Firstly, nobody said anything about life. We were talking about Work with a capital W. Secondly, most of us don't need ghosts and spiritual dreams to have meaningful lives.

>I see lots of extremist messages passed on to young people about how awful things are but almost never a message about compromise, being realistic, moderation, and finding a path that works for you. Its always "the man is out to get me, so I can't win" stuff that's fairly dramatic and completely demoralizing. It ignores the massive middle-road open to those of us in the wealthy west.

Are you European? I think what you're hearing is coming from Americans because, well, the way American society treats people is actually quite extreme itself. "Head leftward towards the middle!" is going to sound extreme to someone who's idea of normal is to the far-right.
> One problem is that legislators need to make decisions on a wide range of domains.

Maybe we should reduce that range of issues by cutting down the amount of regulation that the government is responsible for maintaining.

I had just finished writing this for a non-Scottish friend...

Most people outside of Scotland misunderstand why a country like Scotland wouldn't want to be 'free'. It's because a vote for independence is also a vote to break a 300-year-old union in which we are a major partner. The separatists say we are dominated by England, but I often wonder who dominates who? The separatists want to replace this working Union with the EU, a failing 40-year old experiment in which we would only play a minor part, and be dominated by Germany.

An equivalent would be like California wanting to leave the USA because it has, in recent years, voted Democrat. While some are agitating for that, the citizens know that the federal government for all its faults, still gives many benefits, and any such proposal will never get serious traction. People can be californians AND be Americans in the same way that I can be Scottish AND British. Imagine then, how frustrated Californians would be if those agitators put governance to the side, while pushing for "once-in-a-generation" referenda every few years.

The reality is that every poll shows that the Scottish people don't want another referendum. They already voted, and want to get on with their lives. Today's vote was pushed by the SNP (scottish National Party), who will use any pretext to have another try at independence, despite 30% of their own followers voting for Brexit, and increasing anger at their lack of action on policies that actually matter to people's daily lives. The SNP have overplayed their hand to the extent that lifelong Labour supporters I know are going to vote Tory just to stop the SNP.
Yeah, it was a bad path. The point is that states are indeterminate.
