I assume I am wrong on this, but surely if it pressurized to 35000 feet, then that would be less load? As they pressurized it to that it would be closer to the air at its altitude?
Yes we need higher taxes and more laws. How many laws do you think it takes to make us good people?
Wait what? Didn't the Deis team just join EngineYard last year? Furthermore, why would Microsoft want Deis? They haven't really shown an interest in Kubernetes thus far.
The big boys have obviously cornered the market. Is there any farming equipment company that provides more open access for maintenance and repairs? If not, why not? It seems there is an opportunity there.
> I remember that I already explained to you how to do that (own `build_script` entry within PIO build environment).

Yes, I vaguely remember. I think it was before 3.0 came out?

It's been a while, but IIRC it didn't feel like build_script was a good solution for me.

IIRC you said you were going to improve the documentation. I shall re-read it. Maybe it makes more sense to me now, and I'll change my opinion.

> Stay tuned for our news. We are working on the very interesting things which will be announced soon.

I'll be watching with interest.
IIS will probably continue its nose dive as Microsoft pushes forward with .NET Core. I'm guessing people using .NET Core are more likely to use Kestrel + Nginx as a proxy.
First of all, basically any way is better than Out of Wallet Questions because they don't work on both ends. They don't really prevent fraud and most legit people fail them.

Better techniques involve data / device triangulation, lighter weight Knowledge Based Authentication via data matching, and deeper fraud scoring to detect potentially stolen identities. It takes a real strategy and real time to implement something that actually works which is why many people just default back to OOQs but that will change.

Doesn't that require more round trips than just having the client ask for it?
In my experience, your ability to utilize your relationship with other humans is a better source of success than IQ.

I know plenty of intelligent people that are stuck somewhere in life because they are socially average or worse. Most project I worked that failed didn't because of technical problems but human ones.

IQ may helps, but it can also get in the way.

You know the drill about money not buying happiness but having not enough is a drag ? Kinda the same with IQ and success really.
Well they've gotten kubernetes running on azure.
In Ireland, at least, it's really hard to come by things in the store that aren't wrapped in plastic. It's obscene, and I haven't found a lot of alternatives. Very high end stores sometimes sell items without plastic, but at much greater cost. I mean, who the hell needs individually-plastic-wrapped cucumbers?

I have started growing my own tomatoes, so hopefully that helps, but it's only one item out of many.

I expect that this software lock is stated in their terms of service. If you don't like or cannot agree with the terms you simply should not buy from them. Unfortunately companies salesman usually don't mention the less nice parts of the deal written in the terms, and that is of course on the edge of swindle.

I think in general companies go more and more aggressive and ruthless to remain profitable and fight opposition, that's our economy..

It's also way too specific and biased. Rules like "do you have end-to-end integration tests?" aren't always obligations for all teams, whether that's because your team is doing embedded work or because you're doing something better (like consumer-driven contracts). Other rules like "do you have a primary communication channel?" are even at times counter-productive (in particular, when dealing with a variety of customers who have their own preferred methods of communication, which you must accommodate). Daily status meetings are sometimes unnecessary, if you have a small enough team sitting in its own room or more tightly involve team members in planning and review practices, and indeed daily status meetings often clash with more important practices like flexible scheduling and not interrupting flow.

Tesla I could see. They have deployed their automated driving to their Tesla cars, albeit with requirements that the driver hold the wheel. Plus, Tesla gets a lot of publicity, which could sway opinions.
It can slow things down, as the push works that way:

The client requests some page (e.g. index.html), which will trigger the push on the server. E.g. one for asset1.png. The server initiates the push by sending a push promise frame down the wire, which contains the content of a simulated HTTP request for that exact resource - like if the client sent a GET request for asset1.png through a headers frame. The client can only react on this frame when it receives it and sees that it has asset1.png already in cache. It can then cancel the stream by sending a ResetStream frame. However obvisouly that takes some time, until this push promise frame arrives at the client. Meanwhile the server might decide to not only send the push promise header, but also parts of (or the complete) data. So asset1.png already goes down the wire, and blocks bandwidth that could be used for other things too.
Shipping useful stuff and solving actual problems is even harder
Nginx is the web server equivalent of programming languages with fibers (in a good way.)

Is there anything that competes/a "next Nginx"?
I think opportunity is MUCH more important than IQ.

I know lots of intelligent people, some of them that do have measured IQs in very high numbers, that are in really crappy situations right now (example: one friend has a small kid, and both he, and his similarly extremely intelligent wife are unemployed and failing to find freelance work, despite their work quality and speed being quite good, both of their parents families are also having economic problems, and are struggling to support the toddler, with the toddler grandparents selling old properties to pay for basic needs).

Also when I was more "immersed" in startup world, having my own startup and meeting lots of other startup owners, opportunity always was the important factor in success, never intelligence or even motivation, I met funded startups with crappy leaders, and similarly met genius stuff with no funding, frequently the funded ones had as advantage the fact they had some personal tie to someone in a VC somewhere (example: founder mother is friend of VC partner, or founder is cousin of VC person, and so on).

And judging by corruption scandals I've been seeing, that are always tied with rich companies (That you conclude that they are rich BECAUSE they are corrupt), I can conclude that the "equality" that is important would be "equality" in social relations. (even when there is someone "poor" that is self-made rich, if you look closely enough that "poor" person had some past connection that was important)
If you really work at it, you can trick yourself into believing damn near anything's true.

Sometimes you don't even have to really work at it.
The average person in the lowest quintile in the US is more likely to move up a quintile then remain. That's currently the case. If this were increased even more, that would result in more people from upper quintiles moving down to the lowest one.

Shouldn't we focus more on making life better for the lowest quintile than moving people into a higher quintile? Someone has to be in the lowest quintile, I'm sorry to say. Literally 20% of people.
>I'm consistently shocked at how they choose to watch TV, do drugs, and quick to blame other people.

Much of this was mentioned in Hillbilly Elegy as well (he also brought sources). As well as a much higher rate of domestic problems which can affect kids and hinder their chances of escaping poverty.
Google because of their publicly reported disengagement data - as low as once every 6,000 miles. Tesla because of their fleet approach to mapping and training. I agree that these two are at the front of the pack.
>I can almost guarantee this was just a kid messing around.

Or someone pushed the wrong button. Remember, this is the same city that threw T-Mobile under the bus a month ago saying their callers were 'ghost calling' their 911 system with a bug causing the lines to clog.

In that case, it turned out to be actual callers trying to get through and the calls weren't being answered because a quarter of the already understaffed call center called out. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/dallas-city-hall/2017/03/20/...

So yeah, I'm not betting on hackers for this one. I'm betting on incompetence.

Besides the common community, what does this new concept have to do with flat earth? They seem orthogonal.

Also, I can set up at least half a dozen different experiments to let me "experience" that the Earth is round. Is Flat Earth Theory just another set of blinders we get to put on if we want?
Thank you for sharing, beautiful
Best to think of Deis as a Kubernetes company. We are much more than the PaaS solution many folks know us for.
The more influence you have on your child economic outcomes the less merit based the society. Ideally it really should be close to 20%. Further, someone going from 19.9% to 20% is a tiny change. The most important number is from each quintuple to top 0.01%.
If you do assume animal life is equivalent to plant life, all you're saying is that consuming animals is less efficient. It would be like saying we shouldn't consume icecream because drinking milk directly saves more milk (not sure if this example is true).
Docker does some heavy magic to networking, so the programmer doesn't need to

I was surprised when I read that Server Push wasn't intended for event sourcing. Anyone know why?

These days people use Server Sent Events and WebSockets for this: The client requests data from the server (possibly through a "subscription" type of request), and the server keeps sending messages (e.g. chat messages) until the client cancels the request or closes the connection.

Not having looked deeply into Server Push, it sounds ideal for this sort of thing, and then we could do away with both SSE and WebSockets, neither of which are very HTTP-y.
What!? I never would have expected this, quite a surprise. I hope it works out for them.
Another way to think of it is, science vs. magic/customs. Indeed empirical knowledge can provide reasonable answers (e.g. when rubbing a particular mold over your injury it will heal quicker). On the other hand, understanding what an antibiotic is, how to properly dose it and potentially synthesize it from other sources, etc. is a far better tool for the job.

So true! 50 years ago they were using concepts from early computing to describe how the human brain works. With each new wave of advances in computing, there is a new set of analogies that philosophers and neuroscientists adopt to say: "See, the brain is like this". It Seems problematic to me. Models are models, not reality. They may be good for descriptive effects, but that doesn't me they are anything other than story-telling devices.

As a tangent, this seems to me to be a problem with Daniel Dennett's ideas and why, in the end, David Chalmers seems to be gaining ground with every passing year.
> "Not to mention the wholesale tracking of our online activities by the NSA which is already a done deal. I'm seriously thinking about leaving the US to buy myself some time"

Leaving the USA will actually ensure the NSA collects a lot more about you. Staying will actually ensure they collect very little, mainly as a byproduct of the methods they use and not because of any nefarious plot.
Well Microsoft did hire one of the Kubernetes Founders last year (http://www.crn.com/news/cloud/300081316/microsoft-hires-goog...) and have been working on getting Kubernetes running on Azure, so it doesn't surprise me that they'd want to strengthen that effort.

> Imagine if white hats were given legal immunity to hack devices that are easy to hack (for some definition of "easy") and, for example, replace the firmware with something that flashes some red text reading "contact manufacturer for replacement", and simultaneously closing the security hole in of which they came in the first place.

I think something comparable to this is going to be necessary. There's simply not enough pressure to fix devices otherwise.

With IoT especially, we seem to have an ugly incentive structure where there's no motivation to improve security unless there are lots of high-profile failures (and perhaps attendant lawsuits) that create demand. White hat work is often prohibited and almost always disdained - we've all seen stories of disclosures being completely ignored. So we get bad security not because consumers don't care about flaws but because they never know the weaknesses are there.

Yes you can run Azure Container Service using Kubernetes. When we migrated to Azure, we went with this and it worked reasonably well. However, they're using Ubuntu as their base OS, which we weren't the biggest fans of.

Instead, we switched to running normal VMs using CoreOS and running Kubernetes on top of that. Same features and stability, but with the auto-update benefits of CoreOS.
Lots of hollow stuff with only very little reinforcement. I've broken more than one piece in transport without any rough handling.
Also, the RFC is quite a nice read: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7252

I particularly like the introduction, which succinctly explains the value in realizing a subset of REST common with HTTP, while not just blindly trying to make a compressed version of HTTP. The end result is a protocol which is quite easy to map to each other, not just in terms of implementation but also in terms of mindset. Being familiar with HTTP means you won't feel completely lost in trying to learn CoAP, which is pretty cool.

Ask HN: Landing page improvement suggestions and ideas how to market my SaaS?
Hello HN,
I am soon launching my first paid SaaS product and I would love to improve my landing page to be more informative and relevant.

The SaaS product is targeting a very specific audience so my current version of the landing page[1] assumes that the user knows what a (web)hook is.

I am an author of an open-source self hosted tool named webhook[2] and it has validated that the problem I had, others have as well and that there are users who need an incoming server that would execute their code.

Main problems with my open-source tool is that managing all these hooks is PITA. If you have more than 5 hooks, you'll start getting lost in your JSON configuration. Providing a web interface in the open-source tool would clash with my philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. Additionally, I would like to monetize this, and that's the reason I am launching a SaaS which does what my open-source tool does, improves on the pain points the tool has and also adds some additional features such as concurrency execution management, etc...

Is the SaaS version worth anything to the users? The time will tell, but I believe it is.

Any suggestions on what to add/remove to the current landing page that would help you decide my SaaS is worth your time.

Second thing: how would I go to market my product. The problem it's solving might look trivial, but the implementation has some tricky parts. Especially ones dealing with the concurrent executions. :-)

Thanks in advance!

Data Science and Predictive Analytics Startups
Congratulations Gabriel! Having worked on containers space in Microsoft Azure before, my opinion is that this is a great move by Microsoft. In the past years, I've seen the company struggle in finding great talent in OSS/Linux stack. Simply, there are a lot of areas Microsoft could expand, but there is not enough talent. Deis will definitely take a ton of expertise in open source software and community to Microsoft. Now that Kubernetes is a big part of Azure’s container service, Deis brings a lot of fresh blood to Microsoft. I hope it works out great for both companies (and the open source Kubernetes community).

I think the more reasonable claim is that it's highly unlikely that you will beat an index fund over a (say) 40 year period, so for the average investor who is investing for retirement, it makes no sense.
Resentment Against Replicatipn Movement in Psychology
You're talking to the wrong people. The idea isn't that all investors should be index investing, the idea is that all investors without special expertise should be index investing. This is a non-trivial statement because one might think (and people often argue) that active managers with expertise can beat indices, and therefore unsophisticated investors should just hire those people. The problem with this is that unsophisticated investors can't tell the difference between active managers who have a real edge (be it special insight, better computers, bigger brains, etc.) and those who do not. Insofar as an active manager can demonstrate convincingly to an unsophisticated outsider that they have an edge, the manager will be able to capture the excess value by commanding larger fees in the marketplace for managers.

This would be a fine equilibrium for wise unsophisticated investors, but unsophisticated investors are not all wise. Various human biases and market failures mean that there are an excess number of active investors (i.e., a number above the equilibrium value in an efficient market), many/most of whom are leeches. This is the state we find ourselves in today. The reason the number of active managers is decreasing is because wisdom is diffusing, but we are not done.

It goes without saying that "special expertise" involves a lot more than reading financial newspapers and considering yourself a smart person. It's about as hard to be able to compete at that level as it is to compete in professional sports. The big difference is that the heavy dose of randomness involved in investing allows more people to convince themselves that they are able to compete with the big boys, when almost none of them are. (The evidence that you can't compete with LeBron James at basketball is harder to ignore.)
I don't know, I think Americans are right to be concerned about and sensitive to Russian cyberattacks:

Well, okay, it "represents" a block size increase, so that you can put ~70% more transactions into a block. In reality, it is not a block size increase as the block size will stay at 1MB.

But I don't think that this is enough long term. I would much prefer an increase to 4MB or even 8MB.
Attacks Detected with New Microsoft Office Zero-Day
A visit to many internet forums will yield people fearing that "big brother" will expose their emails or internet history--though not life-threatening, the damage of embarrassment or job loss is still a real fear in their eyes.

Also, do you not think financial companies would naturally aggregate this data in this day and age even if not required by law? Facebook has no mandate by law to collect information on their users for advertisers, yet they do. I imagine that financial companies in the business of understanding users' spending and lending habits would naturally gravitate to compiling and selling this data even without that mandate since humans and their data are the commodity of the 21st Century.
I'm not sure how anyone could believe generalized "hard work" will lead to a lifestyle one desires. To me the idea that "if I work really hard someone will reward me" is lacking of personal responsibility that comes with freedom. Waiting for someone else to make my life the way I want it isn't how I want to spend my time.

Also, the definition in the article of 'pay off' is vague, but seems to allude that getting into a higher income quantile is the goal. If this is the big 'pay off' Americans are looking for, it's a little sad to me.
