>Yes, exactly. Learning a foreign language not widely spoken outside of Europe, while also taking college-level math and science courses is a high barrier to entry

Obligatory "anecdote isn't data" but as someone in a third world country who seriously considered studying in Germany, the language learning aspect was the least of my worries. I got to a B2 proficiency level in around a year and to C1/C2 within a year of that (for context: you need B1 to apply for citizenship and C1 to apply to higher education programs in German).

Getting the 9k, plus flight expenses, all the paperwork expenses was what proved to be impossible; in reality you need around 12k. It was all too much. I had no way of getting that amount of money.

In the end I decided to stay and get my degree here. Learning German was a great experience so it wasn't all a waste. Met some great people along the way and discovered my love for linguistics.

I also personally agree that this policy isn't necessarily helping Germany overall. I think the Blue Card program is a lot more valuable and should probably be more heavily "advertised".
Human milk or cow's milk?
I think that's what he is saying. And yes it is an ultimate lock in. That's what I believe things like lambda are best for creating desired infrastructure, e.g. common ground, so provisioned VMs after bootstrapping might behave the same whether they are in aws, gce or on premises.
I never understood this fascination with food-authenticity. When it comes to food, there are only 2 things that matter:

- Is it healthy?

- Does it taste good to me?

If something is healthy and delights your taste buds, then why bother trying to find out whether it's authentic? Conversely, why force yourself to eat something you enjoy less, just because it happens to be "authentic" or because "other people like it"? Who cares if the stuff you're eating is highly evolved/bastardized from the original, as long as you like it?
They don't seem to say what they're counting as "monthly users". I wonder how many of that 190 million are people who skim one page from a Google search and then flee when the site tries to get them to register to read anything else.
So your code assumes that the network/storage/DB are fault-free? You don't emit logs?
There's no need for Germany to invade other EU members, because the ultimate goal of EU was to give the Germans control over the Europe without using military force, and that's working pretty well for them - they can keep other countries in check just because they provide most of the money to EU budget.

But, Switzerland is NOT an EU member, so that's a different story :)
It is also frustrating to see the waste produced. The machines pulverize and discard lots of fruit that would otherwise be eaten. And the employees at smoothy places end up just pouring out whatever is left in their blender that doesn't fit in the cup so even the juice is wasted.
No. By the civil servants in the USA.
It's more a push to whole foods. Before they thought fat was the issue, so skim milk wass better than whole. But now we know that the satiating effect of fat means that whole milk is a better choice. Whole fruit, or smoothies/full pulp juices are better than the highly filtered juice.
It comes down to a few things: availability of ingredients, experienced cooks and expectations of clientele.

In China you can find pretty authentic[1] Italian, Japanese and Thai food, even bread, but also very localized versions [Americans would say they are not authentic]

What you describe is something I've seen with semi-indentured hands, people who paid lots of money to get here and have to work off their journey. They don't have a lot of spare money left and they go to these joints --it's cheap, it's fulfilling meal.

Is authentic Chinese the buffet served Richard Nixon, or is it the stall food? Is it what rich Chinese eat, or what your average low-skilled worker eats?

[1]by authentic I mean you can easily find these varieties in their home country although people in the home country can debate what the authentic version is (ex. ala Bolognese and spaghetti or tagliatelle)
Same, luckily office macros were not.
There are vegetable beets (really purple, starchy) and sugar beets.

Sugar beets account for a significant chunk of sugar production but not a majority.

Digital is definitely going through a much needed adjustment, but old media is not coming back. It is stabilizing after suffering a huge blow but wont grow back. Too much new media entertainment is coming out to have old media compete.
> The confusion of "authenticity" with "quality" in the comments here is really embarassing. Find good food. Eat it. Sometimes that's a traditional recipe and sometimes it's a recent synthesis.

Agreed: maybe the problem though is that the most famous appropriation of international cuisine in the US is done by large chains of restaurants (Olive Garden, Taco Bell, ...) which is both not authentic and low quality - but that correlation is accidental.

As you point out there is tons of very good food in the US of all origins - and to be fair there are likely at least as meny very good (both excellen quality and "authentic", whatever that means) Italian Restaurants in New York than in Rome.
Even crazier when you look at the map and see Hunan is just north of Guangdong.
I work in EdTech. I never thought the ipad ever made sense in the classroom and I'm not surprised that a netbook is beating back the tablet.

Input onto a tablet is clumsy at best. It is essentially a passive device. Yes, you can add an aftermarket keyboard and and an after market stand, but now you have a three part hacked together netbook instead of one that's designed with a keyboard and hinge from the get-go.

Further, tablets are a magnet for damage. A laptop screen can take localized damage and still mostly work. A tabket screen shatters. Plus the laptop screen is set back within the monitor component and the overall center of gravity means that a netbook is more likely to land on the keyboard side.

Finally, the software story is best for windows (web and native plus great management features), decent for chromebook, and worst for ipads.
Similarly, I took a weekend last summer and built www.mapofnationalparks.com to show on one map where all the parks were, and link to the official site / hiking, etc (with pretty pictures, of course).
They didn't buy it before the rules were put in place.
They launched in 2008 as a company, and the the .edu was restricted to accredited institutions in 2001. In 2006, the rules were tightened to restrict even transfer by a previous owner to a non-accredited institution.
I've complained to EDUCASE (the .edu TLD contract holder), and suggest others do the same.
A for profit, non-accredited non-higher learning organization should NOT have a .EDU.

"it is kind of waste to have 'n' copies of the OS loaded, so containers are a 'semantic' fractioning of the resources where the OS is common but the set of processes are unique to a client. You still need a way to allocate from the single set of resources so containers provide that abstraction."

Agreed. What I find so odd is that this problem was simply and elegantly solved in BSD with 'jail' and everyone went about their business.

I do not understand why (what appears to be) the linux answer to 'jail' is so complicated and fraught and the subject of so much discussion.

I am not sure that containers and their build scripts represent the $huge_profit_potential that people think they do ...
Fair... still what about unintentional loops? I meant to update one record, but oops now I'm churning through the entire DB?

A lot of tools out there are great... I think WordPress, and HubSpot, and Marketo are great for what they do... but they all have an element of "use this and you won't need a dev!" And it's just wrong. The number of just horribly setup sites and email campaigns and personalization options that were set up by non-devs that just don't work... or worse, sort of work but then break in catastrophic and unrecoverable ways... I think this number is still pretty high when people fall for the "we don't need a dev" line.

Anyway I mostly dislike the title of this post... DevOps won't be going anywhere, we'll still need people who intimately know the systems and services in order to achieve enterprise-grade performance. Small businesses can dive in and think they are saving money... maybe it'll work for simplistic stuff, but realistically you'll still need technical folks for any edge case situation or scale.

Another small story... once I had one hour to meet with an angel investor, a guy out in West Texas who had a bunch of oil wells. He wanted to meet at a coffee shop near his house... Bunch of pickup trucks out front, no wifi, and poor cell signal so I couldn't really use my phone hotspot. If I didn't have a local instance, "Hey sorry it's all choppy and junky, it's the connection I swear..." I wouldn't want to say that.
+1 for the amazing domain name
This puts me in mind of the rai stones of Yap, and particularly of one that was lost at sea, but which continued to be used in transactions because of a general agreement that it still existed and so its ownership could be recognized.

I have lost track of the clearest version of this story that I have seen, but it is mentioned in the 'Transfers by Clearing' section here: http://www.wondermondo.com/Countries/Au/MicronesiaFS/Yap/Rai...
I'd take it a step further. After the dot com crash, craigslist basically destroyed the entire classified ad industry by being free and good enough.

I want that for social (without ads/tracking/vc money/invasive monetization, and with strong privacy, author's rights and archival properties).

The cost per user of operating these social network sites must be plummeting with hardware costs. Clearly diaspora didn't quite get the formula right. Soon someone will, I hope.

> Who drinks "squeezed juice" nowadays when they can make one with a juicer anyway?

Lots of people. And to clarify, a juicer refers to a device that leaves all the fiber behind, as opposed to smoothies from a blender.
You're basically advocating the model similar to how WhatsApp grew. The truth is that most companies are willing to throw more money for delivering a result faster, and even the fastest C++ programmers cannot pump out a CRUD app and re-iterate as those using some random crap like Node.js and that's a fundamental reality of languages you have to compile and ship versus just modify in-place.

I think it's a great idea for bootstrapped startups to host their own hardware until they've got the capital to try to spend more for results faster. But again, I think the current software market primarily driven by an obsession of faster iterations even at a far greater up-front cost is what de-emphasizes your romanticized notion of development cycles and care for efficiency (which I personally fully support - I started in embedded dev and all this web stuff has been boring to me since the 90s).

"Trump's proposed to wipe out the EV tax credit (please don't, I want my tax credit!) in the US. It'd reclaim less than a billion dollars but substantially deter the uptake of EV cars"

Hmmm. I guess you don't understand that many Republicans don't like the idea of government subsidies. If it comes down to subsidies, we aren't going to solve the problem, according to this economist:

100% agree - there is both good and bad adaptations of foreign cuisine - in the US as well as elsewhere. The US is just (in)famous because of the megachains like Olive Garden, Taco Bell.
Xaro was in the books, but his plot was totally different. At no point did he open a giant empty vault.
Relocating billions of people is going to cause massive political disruption and the rise of all kinds of hostility between groups, including violence.

Relocating billions of dollars of economic production is going to cause significant loss of production, especially when a certain percentage of people prefer to waste away uselessly in place, like Trump's coal miners and the rust belt layoffs of a previous generation, instead of finding a role in the new economic order. We'll need people to move and change, and instead a certain percentage of them will stay home and drink and pray for everything to go back the way it was.

Relocating billions of dollars of agriculture is also not going to happen without a hitch. Is our agriculture flexible enough to avoid a significant loss of production? In the US I guess we'll call the bluff (or maybe not?) of all these subsidized farmers we've been paying to maintain extra growing capacity. There will be famine in many places.

Given the "stick your head in a bottle and pray for everything to go back to the way it was" mentality, I think the disruption of global warming will be a huge push to automate entire industries. Either you force people to move and work, which sounds horrific, or you find a way not to rely on them. The best way to derisk your reliance on low- and middle-wage workers is to rely on fewer of them. The technical/professional class, which already practices and values mobility, will consolidate control, while workforces who do not get on that bandwagon will be further reduced in relevance. Maybe the entire economy will come to resemble the petroleum extraction industry, where a small number of nomadic, relatively high skill, relatively highly paid blue collar workers are the only blue collar workers needed to sustain an entire industry. Huge numbers of people will live on public assistance in formerly productive areas, dwarfing the numbers left behind in the wake of previous economic disruptions.

Still, even in the best case scenario, we will be finding "democratic" ways to force large populations to move and other populations to make room for them.
My thoughts, exactly. Thank you for putting them in to words.
Apple seem to be in the same state of denial now that Microsoft were when Windows 8 came out. They believe touch-screen tablets are the future, and the way computing should be done, and ignore the desktop and laptop paradigm works much better for getting work done for a lot of people.

Microsoft realised their mistake and came out with Windows 10, which works well across both tablets and desktops/laptops. Apple seem to have doubled-down. The future looks prettier for the former.
I don't get. If you drink 500ml of juice your intake will be ~250-300 kcals. Then what? On a non-active day I burn ~3000 kcals a day. If you hit the gym you can easily burn an additional 700 kcals per hour. To be fit, you need to be active, and to be active you need energy.
Orange juice has about the same amount of sugar as regular coke. Carrot / tomato / beet has about half of that, green veggies have very little.

What will happen to the energy that is now melting the ice? Surely the energy source (i.e. the summer sun) will not go away, so where will the energy go that was until now melting the ice?

If the answer is "it will warm the ocean" then that is troubling indeed. It takes almost as much energy to melt a given mass of ice (-1° to 1°) as it takes to bring it to a near boil (1° to 99°).
You have to put zero somewhere. "Baseline" does not imply normality or desirability.
If liked-in does not make your "percent complete" available to others then who cares? If it does, that could be bad because people will think "this guy didn't bother..."

So what is the answer to this?

Yes, it's about the symbolism. The value of gold does not track the total value of other assets, making it unable to be use as a currency substitute because you would need too much of it to do anything meaningful.

Revealing a "problem" with US-held gold would be a blow to US currency dominance. The value of such a shift in global power is vastly more than the total value of gold on the planet, which is about 8-9 trillion US$.

In other words, gold is nowhere near able to become a currency substitute, but it is potentially a bomb that can damage the dollar.

The largest _private_ gold vault. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is meant to be the largest (there may be more in Swiss banks) holding about 7000 metric tons (apparently).
It's pretty much always the same story with "food science" and has been for the last few decades ever since it came up as a "discipline". "Don't eat that, it's totally bad ... [literally 5 minutes later] ... what? You really ought to eat that, it's so healthy and reduces X and Y risks".

I have literally no idea why (a) this stuff is still perpetuated (b) people still take this seriosuly (c) in extension of (b), why it makes it somewhat regularly to the HN front page.

It's junk science in it's finest form.
Is it just me or do most Atlantic articles seem like pointless tirades?
Isn't it the case that back then (not sure how far back that is) a school was about the only place you'd be able to use a computer, and even then it was sort of a novelty, and didn't play the more central role in the classroom that computers do today. i.e. if you 'messed with it' to the point where you broke something it wasn't a big deal. If I was a teacher today, I'm not sure I would want my kids messing with one of our tools.

Also, today many more kids have computers at home they can mess with if so inclined. That wasn't the case back then.
Designing in the open by Canonical/Ubuntu
At least for paper archival, this is starting to happen. Most large universities now have an institutional paper repository, and are gradually moving towards making it mandatory for grad students and profs to deposit their papers there. Not all have great interfaces, but hopefully that'll improve. And they do at least tend to be good on the interoperability part, with good metadata, stable URLs, etc.
That's because they considered AI a nearly solved problem, so the brightest minds stopped working on it. I can't find a reference to that statement, but I recall reading it from someone credible.

I was fishing for an example of any OS or orchestrator that uses systemd-nspawn.

[1] shows me how to run systemd-nspawn by itself.

[2] shows me that it's basically just like chroot when it comes to a user experience.

When do I get to the part that's better than the entire ecosystem of schedulers and orchestration tools that has sprung up built on and around Docker? Are all of those companies wrong? (Are you trying to tell me it's all just hype and I should put everything into the hands of one competent sysadmin that manages nspawn and systemd?) I could be convinced of that, but I just don't see anyone doing that. I guess that's actually what was meant by cargo cult.

This all really just makes me want to go out and spend some more time looking at Rkt instead. We're all not even remotely convinced that this is better. Where is the mantl.io built on systemd-nspawn?

Even if we switched entirely to renewables tomorrow we'd still be ultrafucked by the mechanisms we have unleashed from the past 200 years of industrialization. That is what is so upsetting about the way politicians behave: we can't even get them to sign on to to the most minimal steps necessary to halt the progress of global warming. Discussing the steps needed to actually fix the problem, or in some way figure out how to live with it, (which is all people are going to be doing 50 years from now), is completely beyond the pale.

> As a developer, I don't have to deal with servers, disks, networks, logs, metrics, ...

Yes, until things don't work as they supposed to.

Disks and networks also don't matter if your application is simple. Disks are pointless if you don't keep a state. Networks will suddenly matter more when you start hiring its capacity.

If your application is simple, you can also run it on a single machine and don't care about any of the things you listed.

But just because those things were abstracted from you doesn't mean they don't exist and their limitations don't apply.
