Just a heads up -- some parts of the coreos site really make it seem like tectonic is only for enterprise -- it actually turned me off it while I was reading the documentation at https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/

Right now my plan is to start with bare kubernetes just to cement understanding and then add rancher, before looking at any other higher level system (I mean there's stuff like helm out there, but it just seems to be too many levels above the ground for me at this point). I'm also using ansible right now (and relatively new to that too, but it's basically just fabric on steroids so I'm not too stressed about it), so I haven't started using terraform yet (but want to).
right. which only pertains to a DAO token – not the vast majority of Ethereum tokens out there.

It doesn't need to control for that. The new people who get swept up into participation in running events are invariably the slow ones. Conducting larger and more frequent races to fit them in is neither here nor there.

In a road race held somewhere in America in 1975, it would all have been largely highly fit, fast people from a track and field background.

I agree with that.
If salaries are competitive in the Midwest, then move there ... go for it.

I grew up in the Midwest and had second-thoughts about Silicon Valley after moving here decades ago.

I did a little thought experiment though and saw that, despite the cost of the real-estate, when it came time to retire, I could sell my over-priced house and move more or less anywhere I want to in the U.S.. While if I took a smaller salary in Kansas, I could have comfortably purchased a house there too but when it came time to retire....
> Was it knowingly assisted by someone at BTC-E, or did BTC-E just act as a dumb machine?

The defendant is who run/ran BTC-E, so it's alleged to have come from the very top. The reasons why you found it so easy are probably related to why the US sees it as a criminal enterprise:

> According to the indictment, since its inception, Vinnik and others developed a customer base for BTC-e that was heavily reliant on criminals, including by not requiring users to validate their identity, obscuring and anonymizing transactions and source of funds, and by lacking any anti-money laundering processes.

It continues:

> The indictment alleges BTC-e was operated to facilitate transactions for cybercriminals worldwide and received the criminal proceeds of numerous computer intrusions and hacking incidents, ransomware scams, identity theft schemes, corrupt public officials, and narcotics distribution rings. Thus, the indictment alleges, BTC-e was used to facilitate crimes ranging from computer hacking, to fraud, identity theft, tax refund fraud schemes, public corruption, and drug trafficking. The investigation has revealed that BTC-e received more than $4 billion worth of bitcoin over the course of its operation.
I would be talking to my telco in this instance.
I wonder how much BTC-e knew about these money sources. Were they a general "don't ask, don't tell" laundering operation that just so happened to be used by these people because it was their best laundering option, or were they directly involved in some of the hacks?

> Russian gay laws

What are those?
In many countries, it is illegal for lawyers to charge a percentage of the obtained damages. But in the US, a lawyer can propose: "I'll help you suing this bastard for free if I get half of the awarded damages." This incentivizes US lawyers to be more confrontational and to seek higher damages than anywhere else.

Edit, found this: "FinCEN today assessed a $110 million civil money penalty against BTC-e for willfully violating U.S. anti-money laundering (AML) laws. Alexander Vinnik was assessed $12 million for his role in the violations." In the US, government agencies can keep such fines for themselves, providing them with a nice incentive to go after such cases.
quick thought experiment:

If I presell tickets to my music festival to a reseller who in turn profits in selling it to festival goers, you're basically saying my tickets were securities and need to be registered with the SEC. you see how crazy that sounds. :)

I'd make an exception for that. Though I don't find it to be all that useful. For one, I haven't been pulled over since I moved to CA 15 years ago and I speed EVERYWHERE. But I don't do anything else 'wrong' behind the wheel.

How do cookies work in Chromeless? Can I specify a cookiejar to use? Can I keep cookies separated?
No, as I have explained I don't think complexity by itself inevitably leads to consciousness. That's what I meant by cart before the horse. You need both a cart and a horse, but the dependency relationship matters. But what I was referring to was the proposition that all intelligent behaviour is composed of pattern matching.

Yes of course I believe our brains evolved that way. I don't believe that arbitrary complex systems in arbitrary environments are bound to evolve in the same way. The environmental conditions, the fitness criteria, the selective pressures, the inheritance mechanism, or even having an inheritance mechanism, these are all crucial. For a designed system, the architecture matters.

Searle constructs convoluted arguments using intellectual sleight of hand to support a really dumb conclusion.
I'm surprised in the sense that I wouldn't think excluding access to one intoxicant would have such a big impact when it can be readily substituted for other legal substances.
Uh, "surely"? It seems extraordinarily unlikely that in a $4 BILLION money laundering effort that none of that money came from sources in the US.

More to the point though: money laundering statutes were written (speaking very broadly) because they don't have to prove the underlying crime. It's criminal to be evading disclosure and tracking requirements even if all the money was obtained legally.

What are the odds that whoever was running BTC-e also happened to be involved in any of those hacks? It's definitely a case of "don't ask, don't tell" and perhaps, making that policy known.

Somebody corrected this (Gentoo VC software) later, but NetBSD does also still use CVS. Repo conversions are indeed big, interesting projects. I've closely-witnessed/been-peripherally-involved in a few, and there were some interesting papers written about various conversions years ago[0], when both git and mercurial were new and iirc monotone still had interest.

> Maybe I live in a bubble, but I just assumed that Facebook would be on a decline trajectory by now.

It's coming. Every time I open the FB app, I see mainly "Sponsored" items or "Suggested" items (most of them videos) and fewer and fewer updates from friends. As a result, my usage of FB has declined by about 80% in the past month or two, and it's only going to get worse. My wife recently uninstalled the app.

Not if the study is politics itself and a weapon to support someone's agenda. Studies and researchs don't grow wild in nature, you know.
> As for why HN hates Snap, I'm not exactly sure.

Why must it be hate? Couldn't it just be, simply, that we're not that interested in yet another chat application? To me, Snap is a slightly modified ICQ client. Fine, but not very interesting.

Real progress would be some sort of open standard, so who you're speaking with isn't determined by which company's chat server you connect to. But then again email has supported this for several decades already, so maybe the demand isn't there.
Money laundering statutes do not require a discrete 'victim' with standing. They simply require the illegal manipulation of funds. In particular, disguising the origin of funds or assisting someone in doing so.
Nah disagree. Most folks building on top of Ethereum are using token sales as a fundraising mechanism to bootstrap their projects, and these projects are raising $100ms of dollars.

The whole "but, but, these tokens have utility" will get old pretty quickly imo and you can see the signaling with sophisticated projects like Protocol Labs' filecoin offering going the Reg D route.

tl;dr - "Fullstack" developer who does my own ops for my own projects which are very varied (I've done small-time deploys/management for projects in/with python, node, go, haskell, ruby, postgres, rethinkdb). I try to iterate my infra as well as my technology stacks to find the best way to do things.

Sorry for the delay -- I've definitely had this at the back of my mind too, but with every advance made by cloud providers, I wonder if I could ever possibly get into that fight, especially since I'm not an expert at any of the cloud computing platforms -- Hashicorp seems to be doing amazing work in this area also, field seems to be full.

My background is basically that I really enjoy computers/programming and like to be self sufficient so I prefer a shallow (working) knowledge of all parts of the stack. I maintain a few VPSes and use them to host n-tier (where n is usually 2) projects. I'm always interested in the best way to do stuff and I use new projects to try stuff out.

Ops is particularly interesting to me because I've gone through a lot of iterations of how I did ops for my apps -- from SSH-in-and-do-stuff -> use-fabric-to-ssh-in-and-do-stuff -> dockerize & ship containers -> dockerized + systemd -> dockerize & registry (thanks to gitlab) + systemd + ansible. I've also used dokku and of course it blew my mind (I never used/wanted to pay for heroku), so while I stayed relatively low level, I was cognizant of what was happening a few levels up.

I saw kubernetes a few years ago and wasn't sure whether I wanted to go with it, but I've taken a fresh look over the last week and think it might be time to give it a try.

Side (controversial?) note - I think the time where it's acceptable for junior/mid-level developers to only know one part of the stack is dead. The only thing keeping these roles possible are the fungibility requirements for large corporations. Smaller, hungrier (almost literally) corporations can't afford to have some developer that is only an expert at writing python but never works on frontend code or deals with the database.
Sadly, they have broken things left and right :/ Migrating to this new version is a pain because they deprecated postgres. All user accounts are locked and must be reset. So much work. This is why I love wordpress

It definitely needs to be accounted for. In the past decade, there has been a proliferation of smaller marathons. If you made a plot of "100th finisher times" by # of participants, it would be slower for smaller races. If the growth in marathons is primarily on the smaller end, then you'd expect the average to go down.
Stop the scaremongering and assumptions. Your jumping to conclusions does nobody any favors, and it ignores a whole host of safe and legal uses of a cell phone while it is plugged into a car.

I'm not sure how/why it would be required by law-- I could watch netflix on my cell phone while driving and have the audio stream over bluetooth if I wanted to; I don't see how CarPlay/AndroidAuto changes the legal framework here. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just not sure HOW. Could even just be something so simple as fear of liability I guess. But again, the bluetooth example comes to mind.
Ask HN: What is China doing with 1.1.1.1?
So I'm currently in Shanghai and tried to ping 1.1.1.1, and surprisingly I got a response!

* 64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=250 time=3.46 ms

* I get a 19ms response from my 4G mobile network

* I get no response from a server in Hong Kong.

I looked it up and apparently it's a APNIC research prefix, so I decided to do a traceroute and got this:

traceroute to 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 gateway (172.20.0.1) 0.370 ms 0.204 ms 0.443 ms
2 27.115.97.209 (27.115.97.209) 1.166 ms 1.157 ms 1.150 ms
3 112.64.249.197 (112.64.249.197) 3.351 ms 3.350 ms 3.343 ms
4 58.247.223.18 (58.247.223.18) 4.203 ms 4.204 ms 4.197 ms
5 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 5.927 ms 5.926 ms 5.919 ms

My question is why on earth have they routed 1.1.1.1? If I go to 1.1.1.2 it goes beyond the city and fails somewhere upstream.
> It's criminal to be evading disclosure and tracking requirements even if all the money was obtained legally.

It was criminal to help fuel a nuclear arms race that put everyone at risk of nuclear holocaust. It was criminal to destroy Iraq for bullshit reasons. It's criminal to kill people with drones based on metadata.

But criminalizing money laundering? That's just power tripping.
I defended Waze in this thread, but frankly it's absurd to me that someone would argue that a process which requires several taps on specific parts of the screen (like reporting a stopped car) is the same level of impact as other GPS apps that require literally zero interaction while you're driving...
It may be ok for developers but the Flash scene was full of non-developers who used mostly the visual Flash editor and copy-pasted some scripts if necessary.

> that money came from sources in the US

What I meant is I've been to a restaurant which turned out to be a money laundering front but I can't seriously describe myself as a victim. In fact, the food there was cheap and delicious!

But I appreciate your clarification. To rephrase what you are saying: it falls under US jurisdiction because some US persons were victims of a crime and some of that crime money ended up being traded on BTC-e (allegedly).
Huh. I really like the built-in nav. I particularly like having the turn-by-turn in the instrument cluster display, and the ETA across the top of the head unit screen, etc. Though as an iOS user I don't have the option of Google Maps anyway.

> Is it an investment of money?

> Is it in a common enterprise?

I'd say by that standard many tokens do indeed count. Also from Investopedia, by the way. Among the things which count as securities are commodity future options, which I would say is about equivalent to most tokens currently on the market.
Do take a look at the charges section in our app. We have something out there that might work for you! :)

Also We focussed on building an easy to use app with seamless transaction platform that supports all fund houses first. The cake is in place. We will be adding a lot more over this.

Thank you for taking time out for all the detailed feedback!
There are victims of crimes BTC-E is claimed to help facilitate and make more viable though. And/Or there were US criminals being helped.
Randos on some forum don't speak for the project.
I must say that if the data leak leads to the fall of the gouvernement, it will force everyone else to take it seriously. That would be a big advance to the credit of Sweden. (In most countries the gouvernement wouldn't fall for "so little")

It's completely right.

Why would you invest $250K for a year's pay of an employee for $0 return. You can invest that $250K in a CD for 2% and get $5,000.

Shareholders are going to have no interest (long term) having companies invest their capital in the form of cash on the balance sheet at below market rates. Hence dividends or buybacks if they can't demonstrate sufficient roic on internal projects.

You can back into a target revenue/employee by looking at risk free rate of return + equity premium (say 7%), net margin (35% for FB this Q), and say if an avg employee earns $250K .... then they'd want a bit less than $800K/employee (35/100 * x >= 250k + (.07 * 250k)).

I don't think your comparison to widgets holds up. Would a company invest capital in more production capacity to sell more widgets at zero margin (all else being equal)? No, they'd distribute it to shareholders so they could invest it in bonds or other companies, and that's the analogy.
I'd say that the OSS UX will always lag in terms of overall polish. But in terms of pushing ideas, they can be ahead of the curve. E.g. gnome 3 (April 2011) did a full screen "start menu" before windows 8 (Aug 2012)

CryptoCoin: “Distrowatch” for cryptocurrencies

Quoting from the article: "It has been a popular belief that the increase of the average marathon finish time is due to the fact that participating in running competitions is gaining popularity. With the popularity increase, the number of not so fit participants rises, and the average finish time increases.

This argument is not exhaustive.

Let alone that in the last two years (2015 and 2016) numbers of participants are declining and the finish time in all the four major race distances is still growing."
I don't understand the connection between the two. Do you mean the financial considerations?
Just curious, but what cherry picked study and unique definition of health are you basing that statement on?
Not really. At least, that's not my perception. I would say, however, that the macho attitude is clearly out of date.

Granted that means running ~216 instances per day, or 9 instances per hour (taking 18 minutes per hour to run total). Now you're right, if you're running a screenshot service then this will kill you real fast.

However assuming a 8 hour work day you then get ~27 instances per hour. Each test takes two minutes to run, so for a single user testing, assuming a code - test - code - test routine, you'd be able to do that nearly continuously, for 8 hours a day, every day of the month (no weekends or days off). Seems safe to assume that wouldn't occur.
You'd be surprised how many people do actually use it for dedicated storage applications. With the major backer for OmniOS some (including me) have been moving over to ZoL as a preference.

It's a real shame not to have it more integrated otherwise though in less dedicated applications. It's really hard to go back once you are used to zfs send/recv, transparent compression, etc.
WebRTC doesn't work for browser control of a lot of IoT type stuff. The really high volume cheapo devices speak things like CoAP or DTLS, and they don't have the horsepower to run something like WebRTC. You'd need a level of control similar to the berkeley socket API to get the browser to speak those protocols.

At the moment, I see a lot of ridiculous stuff like phone apps talking to some cloud instance which tries to jam the packets back through your firewall into your Internet light bulbs. Congratulations, you literally just used thousands of kilometers of fiber and billions of dollars of routing infrastructure to make the world's most expensive how many... light bulb joke.
The further the data gets from the original designers of the system, the less likely it's being protected properly.

I've seen this time and again not just in outsourcing but also in regime change at companies where employees and management turn over.

Pretty soon you've got a whole host of legal contracts with customers and regulatory promises saying you provide X, Y, Z encryption, data redundancy, offsite backups, support contracts, and so on -- but you're doing none of it.

I wonder to what extent outsourcing ends up being cheaper precisely because they're not following the framework that the in-house crew implemented and hopefully stuck with.
Hey thanks for the link! However I don't think Cloud66 is for me -- out of my price range for the small projects I build.

With respect, from what I can tell, most of the features of cloud66 are already included in Gitlab, and when I convert my current infrastructure to Kubernetes I can even start taking advantage of the auto-deploy-to-kubernetes features.

$49 / Month is a bit too much for me, but I don't think I'm the target anyway!

I'm also the kind that likes to run my own infrastructure and spend time on things I maybe shouldn't be spending time on :)
