Here, let me pre-emptively render the standard replies, to save everyone time:

* "Nuh-uh! We love Kubernetes and run EVERYTHING in it, so there. And we DID NOT do that just so we could be cool by copying Google or just so I could pad my resume, I triple-double-swear".

* "But, StatefulSets! It doesn't matter that it's taken over two years of engineering effort to get to a place where fundamental functionality that you've gotten automatically for the last 3 decades exists, like individually-addressable servers or stable disk space. It doesn't matter that they're still beta. Run your database in it TODAY, or you are in serious danger of exhausting your GCool Points!"

* "Please take back your mean comments about modern-day software development culture. Node.js was my first language and I for one find left-pad a miraculous innovation, which never would've been possible without a culture of everyone scrambling to copy some crappy module up to npm and their github profile so that they can brag about how many stars they have. I am thoroughly enjoying this same ethos being carried over into sysadmin/devops."
That suggests that U.S. costs are high due to general
inefficiency [...] Americans have simply ponied up more
and more cash over the years while ignoring the fact that
they were getting less and less for their money.

There's a general effect in political systems, that if a law takes $20 from 1,000,000 people and gives $100,000 to 200 people, the people who lose money won't have enough incentive to put up a big fight; but the people who receive money will have more than enough motivation.

For example, if a big irrigation project will force taxpayers to subsidise corporate farms, the corporations have a big incentive to spend on ads and campaign contributions. Or if you have to give $60 to a private company for tax filing software, they have a big incentive to lobby and make campaign contributions to keep the tax system complicated.

I'm sure construction projects are subject to the same pro-waste incentives.

I'm not sure what the solution to this is - campaign finance reform, perhaps?
So, exactly like npm packages then?
I think it's ok to name Brendan Eich here. Just saying "[person who] created JavaScript" makes me think "that's either Brendan Eich or someone lying about having created JavaScript"

If he's chosen to be the CEO of a company again, then he's also chosen to put his social/political views on equality into the public sphere again.

Well, the optimizing pipeline has completely changed in V8 5.8 (if you use `--turbo --ignition`) and in 5.9+. It's been simplified and most importantly, does not deoptimize on quite so many common features (such as try/catch). More information at http://benediktmeurer.de/2017/03/01/v8-behind-the-scenes-feb... and some of his other articles.

In my testing it appears that TurboFan cannot optimize certain patterns as well as Crankshaft did, but there's no reason to believe those regressions will remain as TF evolves. Optimizing more code is much more important for real apps.
Funny how "let the market decide the price" is suddenly a much less attractive option when it means making way less money.

Are French newspapers also suddenly a lot cheaper when sold in Austria? Of course not. They're more expensive in fact, because of transport and the cost of stocking a relatively unpopular item.

Now, these two costs don't matter for digital/streaming media. So imagine that they are negligible for French newspapers, too. Would they be sold in Austria for super-cheap, with just a slim margin on the price of paper they're printed on? I kind of expect the price to be roughly the same, actually.

The only reason that digital/streaming media get to pretend to be "different" is because they started out with the technological means to enforce market segmentation before regulation got wind of it. And that ability is incredibly profitable, to the detriment of the consumer. Which is why we regulate it. And now they don't want to give back something they really didn't have any right to in the first place.

Note that I'm not claiming either side of whether these streaming media should be the expensive local price everywhere, or the cheap everywhere-else price. Just that the fact that the market value of something differs extremely between regions, is an argument for regulation of market segmentation, not against.

Why shouldn't you run databases on it? Ive been running larger databases(10tb+) on it for some time.

If your database can deal with failure of single node and uses network storage it's totally doable to run databases on Kubernetes.

They added over a million of migrants in a single year, almost none of them are employed and are even long-term unemployable. Meanwhile, the official unemployment figures have gone down.

If you apply the same unemployment metrics as Austria, Germany has pretty much exactly the same unemployment rate as Austria.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect logs for every file, but I would expect logs for the insertion of a card into the card reader and mounting a logical volume from that card. How big was the card/volume, if any? And if there even was one, was it even big enough to hold the entirety of that repo.

Also, while copying isn't auditable on windows, windows can audit object reads and writes. Were there any logs showing that the directory with the files were read while the card reader was inserted into the machine? It's off by default however. Does anyone know the default audit settings of a new google windows installation to know what folders it turns on logging for if any?

These are all issues and details I would expect to be mentioned in an expert's report if they weren't trying to be selective in the details they provided. Since this expert works for Google, omitting details in Google's favor wouldn't surprise me. I didn't see any statement in the expert's report where they had to make a statement under oath where they declare that they aren't omitting any other details that may be relevant to the court. Without such a declaration, it's possible to be truthful, but deceptive without perjuring yourself.

I have been wondering lately if we have become so dependent on certain sectors of the US economy (housing, infrastructure, healthcare, education) that risk aversion is suffocating innovation.

No one wants to send their kid to an unproven, experimental university. No city wants to beta test a new style of road building. No patient wants to be the first to try a new treatment. We are so dependent on these things that the cost of failure is astronomical. Because no one is willing to try new methods of doing things, costs never go down. There are marginal improvements, for sure, but no disruptive changes.

It feels like a weird manifestation of NIMBYism. We all want innovation, but we want to test it on someone else first.

A free market is an example of a non-linear dynamical system. Chaotic fluctuation is the most common expression of such a system. In my lifetime I have seen the the U.S. economy fluctuate wildly. I have seen lives and enterprises destroyed and families suffer great hardship and broken dreams, and in contrast I have seen equivalent periods of wonderful prosperity.

How can you say that policies regarding a huge complex system like the economy are "good" or "bad". Some situations are favored some are harmed. Even comparisons between policies are suspect.

There is no way to rationally sum up the net effect. Those who try are expressing a political preference couched in terms of pseudo-economics.

A thoughtfully administrated mixed economy offers some hope of dealing with these issues. There are no magic bullets.

This comment is so off the mark for this context.

1) Responsive site == a site you visit in your native browser, no one is talking about Electron or similar technologies. ecomm/retailers would never use that.

2) Electron is missing the point...why even use native at all of you're a retailer when you can have a website that does both?

HN...always missing the point and going off on some off topic rant.

They conducted an ERC20 token sale on the Ethereum network. It sold out in seconds. The tokens (BAT - Basic Attention Token) are to be used to buy advertising in the "attention economy." The premise is really interesting, but the dynamics of the Ethereum token sale space are borderline insanity at the moment, and will continue to be until most of the fools are parted with their ether either by a company that fails or turns into a scam.
Could you point to any articles that go into a bit more depth on this provisioning-configuration-deployment flow?
The fastest that I've seen infrastructure put up in the US is where there are toll roads being built.

I suspect this is because there is a high incentivize to get a toll road up quickly and start generating revenue to pay back the initial investment.

Residents generally hate tolls, but its a good motivator for infrastructure to go up quickly.

I never understood why similar incentives wouldn't kick in for mass transit projects.

If I understand this correctly, currently there are 7.3M "mini jobs" in Germany - 733,600 (2.4%) lesser than last year. 2.6M (approx. 36%) of these mini jobs are side jobs i.e. jobs taken to earn additional money (may include students as well).

It doesn't address any of the numerous political issues with American infrastructure, but it could be good for repair and maintenance
Vague talk of inefficiency in construction isn't really very informative. Has anyone ever done a study where they take two very similar projects — building a medium sized office building, for example — in the US and China, and following them both from beginning to end, auditing exactly how much money and time is spent on each stage? It seems like this would provide a useful basis for comparison.
I think the one off nature of projects is the problem. There is no coherent long term plan.
What's the consequence, though?

Brave got $35M, unless Ethereum crashes very soon.

Some parties can now set the price for advertising within Brave to whatever they want. If Brave becomes popular, they become rich. If Brave fails, they lost their money.

This reflects in health care as well. American health care costs about twice as much as it does in every other first-world nation. Those systems run the gamut from fully socialist to mostly privatized, but they all share a common feature - they provide universal coverage at half the cost of the American system. That says there's something uniquely broken in our model.

Infrastructure? Same thing. There's something distinctly American in how slow and expensive it is. These are systemic issues, not some single-cause thing that [liberals|conservatives] can finger-point to a partisan villain.
It's a biased sample, but even then for every 100 people that voted for him 117 voted for someone else.

Most striking the turnout as % of the population was down significantly presumably because many people could not bring themselves to vote for either candidate. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/politics/popular-vote-turnout-...

Long Story short translated:

1) Some people work to get paid lese than others that dont work

2) Those people need to go get help in form of money: Aufstocker

3) A lot of them need to get their food from Caritas and other organizations like "die Tafel" because they dont have enough money to buy food

Yes, Germany is a wealthy country but most of its citizens are poor.
While your statement is indeed true, the German way of calculating unemployment is actually more conservative than the US way. There the ones who stop looking for work are dropped from the statistics...
> It costs extra because CORRUPTION

Come now, citizen, you used the wrong word.

In newspeak the word is "Profit".

Every company working on a project deserves to make profit, right? and they deserve to make more profit than ever before, right? So they made $100 million in profit 10 years ago, $1 billion last year, you know for sure they are going to make > $1 billion this year, otherwise they are an outright failure.
What would these "various reasons" be? At what point do unsubstantiated criticisms help fuel the fake news epidemic?
Ask HN: Have you moved on from IT?
I've recently started the move from a more technical role to management role in my organization. I wanted to do this because I wanted to make a bigger impact on what decisions were made for our company especially in the IT space where costs were becoming astronomical because of poor decision making.

Has anyone else made this move too? If so what was your reason? or even moved back to IT from management? Just curious to see what other people views were on these kinds of problems.

It's not that we have forgotten. It's the fact that regulation, time to get approval, and other red tape make the timeline longer. Gone are the days when things just get done.
Ironically, the pinnacle of corruption was the way Congress swapped district-specific funding ("earmarks") in lieu of outright cash/votes swaps on non-transportation legislation. The "bridge to nowhere" system got burned in 2005 and long-term surface transportation funding has been a wreck ever since. Congress hasn't done much worthwhile since, either.

Otherwise, a lot of the "corruption" is just federal contracting hoops and hurdles--again, in place, theoretically, to limit corruption. More irony: Republicans are, essentially, arguing that old-fashioned cronyism is more efficient and cost-effective. Last laugh: It might be.

If the mobile user already has those resources cached, it ends up using more bandwidth. It's possible implement checks for this, but it can be tricky to get right for all cases.

On the other hand, the browser's HTTP cache is well understood and standardised, and just requires sending the correct response headers (at the cost of the additional round trip).

From what I've seen of both, Docker swarm mode is smaller in scope and simpler than Kubernetes.

Do these construction costs inefficiencies also appear in construction projects that are privately funded? Or is it just publicly funded projects?
Party over country... just progressives huh?

I seem to recall it being mainly republicans slashing budgets of various things they don't like (Welfare, the VA, Social Security, the IRS) and then shortly afterwards complaining about how ineffective those things are (failing to mention the budget cuts imposed) and how they should just be eliminated altogether.
Every time you write about the ongoing silliness that is chasing the car that is infrastructure/platform trends, I want to buy you a drink. The overwhelming proportion of teams neither need nor benefit from all of this stuff. We're all not running Google here--at some point, the mindset of an engineer should go from "this looks fun" to "this isn't going to blow up and screw us at the worst possible time", but unfortunately, it looks like the devops/infrastructure world is currently traipsing down the road tread by other trendy ecosystems and fields.

So many developers insist that elegance is having nothing to take away--and then they pile all of this stuff that they don't fully understand on top of other stuff they don't understand at all just because "it's devops". It's maddening and strange.

(While we're at it: most of you don't need your million microservices, either, and you're probably not fault-tolerant across them anyway.)
You can also lower switching threshold, in my experience it helps:

It seems to me like the biggest things that have changed are the safety regulations on the construction process itself and the finished product. The golden gate bridge was built in a few years, but with a few worker deaths. Building a new bridge like the golden gate today would likely be illegal, and take ~25 years.
Well, why do you actually want the MBA? What are you hoping to get out of it? Remember you're going to be sacrificing two years that you could be spending on something else, so it matters. Once you can answer that, I can give you better advice on application strategy.
Right...this sounds like a good thing. People with big money invested will presumably want to set their prices such that Brave will succeed and they will either get a return or at least not lose their shirt.

If, for example, tens of thousands of people only had tens of dollars invested, they may be less interested in making Brave a successful platform because they have little financial incentive and little to lose.
A Pod manages a set of containers on a node.

A ReplicaSet (RCs are old and deprecated) manages a set of Pods. It has a template and a target replica count.

A Deployment manages ReplicaSets across versions/upgrades. When you change a deployment it creates a new ReplicaSet and does a rolling upgrade from new to old version by tweaking replica counts in new and old ReplicaSets.
"Also, having a happy relationship and having kids are at odds with each other, so again you have to pick one. Either have kids and look forward to divorce and child support or at least a miserable marriage where you dread coming home from work, or find a partner who doesn't want kids and enjoy spending time with her."

That's a very dark line of thinking, and I'm sorry your life has led you to believe that is the case.

It's absolutely possible to have kids and a happy relationship, just as it's absolutely possible to not have kids and have a happy relationship, or have kids and a miserable relationship, or not have kids and have a miserable relationship.

Also, it's possible to have a middle-class lifestyle with kids; difficult, but possible. Living in the middle states of the US, with an in-demand skillset relative to the area you live in, and a semi-frugal mindset- it's absolutely possible. In San Francisco or DC? Not so much.
> ...could still be implemented for Europe if the threat level worsens.

I see the electronics ban on flights from the Middle East as a sort of A-B testing of security theatre. If it had provoked a sufficient outcry it would have been rolled back or at least contained, but since the response has been pretty much a collective shrug we can look forward to a much broader roll-out backed by what's now a pretty good precedent.

One more step down a slippery, slippery slope.
It's so weird, looking at a perfectly normal movie and the only thing you can think about is "What? It doesn't work that way!" like if everything started falling up with no explanation and the characters found that perfectly normal.

People are so incredibly willing to try unproven experimental universities and medical treatments that people getting scammed over fake ones is actually a fairly large problem. I'm not sure where you got the idea that no one is going to Trump University or University of Phoenix and that no one is trying alternative medicine or pushing right to try bills across the country.

Assuming you require portability, the other options are generally all Chrome-based, so if you like you application to not look like shit, I mean, look native...

There's only really wxWidgets in this space, which is order of magnitude smaller.

I guess on Windows there's .NET if you don't care for other platforms as much. Do people still use other toolkits for writing native C++ apps with GUIs? MFC? Native win32 code?

Yeah that bit actually gives me pause. Injection molds cost thousands each. If there's a design flaw and some of the molds have to be redone, is there still money to do that?
