We have, and as far as we could see it is a command line tool that needs to be run manually. This model doesn't work for us as we scale instances in and out by the dozens throughout the day. I could be missing something but anything that requires command line interaction isn't viable.

For instance, if we see that our worker cluster is has reached some consumed capacity threshold (CPU, memory, etc) then we need to add more worker nodes. The way we do this is via Auto Scaling Groups. Auto Scaling Groups work on launch configs that are essentially an AMI and instance user data. Getting an AMI that just has the Kubernetes stuff that can be started at will and told to join clusters at runtime has not been clear from the documentation I've read.
Kops is ok, but it's a grey box that's meant to be used directly. It's also fairly AWS specific.

This guide is more of core recipe from which someone can bake automation with config management or custom images.

Governments have so much leverage they don't need to be efficient to be a huge net benefit.

Consider the cost to build and maintain a road network vs. the benefits it brings.

PS: Further, it's not a question of collecting more money from everyone it's a question of collecting the same money from everyone which is a benefit even if you end up burning the extra money.

All Positive comments here are made by those who don't live in india and are influenced by massive propaganda machinery that ruling parting of india is running.

As someone who actually lives in india, I am vouch that Demonetisation was a disaster of all sorts. Ruling party kept justifying this failure by shifting the goal posts again and again.

Here is a piece which describes in detail, this monumental failure of indian government failure

> Wikileaks is still milking a drip-drip from the original cache they obtained of CIA warez. It's cynical, and speaks to a general contempt they have of their audience.

Snowden did the same and it pisses me off. But then again, wikileaks learned from the cablegate: releasing tons of information will lead to people disregarding most of it.
This. I think the headline title here is wrong. Prime Minister Modi has always said that demonetisation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 is just the beginning and Step #1. The next step is to probe the bank accounts of these wealthy individuals and give them an opportunity to explain why the Tax has not been paid on it before seizing it.

Regarding 1. If I understand this correctly, then I believe that this is only partly true. How do you buy bitcoin? You need fiat currencies in a current account or a credit card. How do you get that? You need a bank account. At that stage you will get verified and a state could censor you.

Regarding 2. Actually, there are real-time payment systems around the globe that are also irreversible. E.g. Faster Payments in the UK. SEPA Instant will launch with the Euro in November 2017. The company I co-founded even offers an API to initiate Faster Payments from the backend of any app: https://www.telleroo.com/faster-payments-api
To be honest, it's mostly the US that is not up to date here.

Regarding 3. It maybe permissionless now but that is mostly because it is not regulated. As soon as it becomes regulated as a financial service you will have all the same processes that you already have for financial products. Will it ever get regulated? Of course! As someone who works in the financial space I can tell you that, for example Anti-Money Laundering legislation is extremely important to regulators and they will push this through with force.

I don't want to sound too discouraging, cryptocurrencies are really cool. But the question is if payments is actually the right area for them. All of the problems above can and are already currently being solved by non-crypto solutions. I highly encourage you to take a look at the fintech market in the UK who are tackling all these challenges. Furthermore, these fintechs are expanding to the US and around the globe where they will solve those problems.

The purpose is to have a transparent ledger, in which "funny business" is immediately apparent.

If a double spend is even attempted, everyone will know what is up.

Here is a better way of thinking of it. Imagine if every bank had a database of the ledger, and announced what they believe the ledger is to everyone ever 10th of a second.

This is effectively what "blockchain" technology is providing for the network.
IMO, it's because it's a term that they can use without getting much kickback. Before, they might use "fag" or whatever, but folks would (rightly) take offense to that. Even folks not directly targeted by those slurs would call out their use. Not as many people are going to go out of their way to defend cuckolds and fight back against the new(ish) slur.

So sites such as bücher.de (I originally had a link here to the site, but HN punycodes that: http://xn--bcher-kva.de/ ) shouldn’t exist?

That’s a very america-centric world, it’s like enforcing only US-ASCII on all websites. Most of the world doesn’t speak English, and browsers showing domains punycoded leads to mistrust, especially if it’s a legitimate retailer (the one mentioned above actually added a redirect to a romanized version of the URL due to that)
You assume, wrongly, that corporate pressure is the only pressure that governments face.

You need to pump at some regular frequency to maintain milk supply. Most doctors recommend pumping every 4-5 hours, which means getting up very early to pump. Also, milk production continues in your sleep and many women can't go a full 7-8 hours without pumping because of the pain.
Oh yeah, good point. There's probably something for them too.

Microsoft was one of the big founding members of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance [1]. But in general, the biggest companies in that alliance are financial companies, not tech companies. Like DTCC, MasterCard, J. P. Morgan. And a lot of banks. Though Cisco is also a member, and a local government of India. But in general it's really only financial companies and pure blockchain companies.

Mesa and SurfaceFlinger do two completely different things. You can absolutely use Mesa on Android (the emulator does, for example). But just like on desktop you're typically using the GPU vendors' accelerated GL implementation instead of Mesa. But if the vendors driver uses Mesa, like the Intel GPUs, that still works fine on Android.
Answer: "Maybe your single page app is different, but the ones that I know break most of my browser’s features, such as the back and forward buttons, page refresh, bookmarking, sending a link, or opening a link in a new window or tab."
This is nonsensical. The only even remotely rational implication is that it makes crime more difficult because large sums of money weigh more and take up more space. If you're accepting cash to evade taxes at your business though, you can just accept a bunch of 100 EUR notes as easily as 500 EUR notes. The same article says they're considering banning the $100 USD note, after they'd already pulled $500 USD from circulation many years ago.

I'm not a tax evader or a criminal and I've used $100 USD notes and 500 EUR notes during my travels simply out of convenience. It's ridiculous to implicate the users of these bank notes as criminals purely on the size of the denomination.
It was stupid mistakes that led to takedowns of Silk Road, KickassTorrents, The Love Zone, Sheep Marketplace, AlphaBay, and Sabu de LulzSec.

However, Operation Onymous did rely on Tor deanonymization data provided by CMU researchers to the FBI. The CMU group had exploited a bug in Tor to get ISP-assigned IPs for numerous users and onion servers.

Even so, Operation Onymous would arguably have failed if those users and onion servers had accessed Tor through nested chains of at least three VPN services. And used firewall rules, and isolated VPN and Tor gateways in separate machines/VMs. Isolated from workspace machines/VMs. Also, operators and users of those onion servers would have remained safe if they had done the same.

In a few other cases, such as Freedom Hosting and Playpen, the FBI used NIT malware to deanonymize users of onion sites that had already been confiscated. The malware bypassed Tor to send IPs and other information to FBI servers. But only Windows users were affected, because the NIT only ran on Windows. Also, users that used firewall rules and/or separate Tor gateway machines (such as Whonix) were unaffected. And finally, even Tor browser users would have remained safe if they had accessed Tor through nested chains of at least three VPN services.

So yes, use nested chains of at least three VPN services to access Tor. And watch your OPSEC. Compartmentalize, compartmentalize, compartmentalize!

So, the approach is insufficient only if you're sloppy.
I actually look up everything either via HERE, or via Öffi – because I can get comparison between Walk/Bike/Transit that way, and choose the fastest one (taking waiting time into account).
> I assume that's the one north-east of the city center (Google wants to send me to Ottendorf first). Hm, comparing Google Maps to Here maps, the two look pretty identical - here maps has a few more footpaths. Openstreetmap seems to agree.

A very important part there is a tiny change where a major road was closed off, and due to the Google Maps fault, hundreds of people, including police, and money transporters, got stuck there over the years.

Thanks to a lot of complaints, that tiny part got finally fixed last year, but the missing roads around that are still unchanged.

If you laser focus on "breast feeding" yes the male cannot do that. If, however, you look at it from a "breast milk" standpoint, the male absolutely can take care of that!

I certainly had no problem warming up refrigerated breast milk at odd hours of the night for all three of my children.

I think everyone should pump and freeze. At the very least you'll be more comfortable. The bonus is that you can make your significant other feed the kid!

That's really the only reason I was saying I liked base58. Because it removes those confusing characters compared to base64 or others.
I see what you mean but unless you can argue otherwise it seems that the people who work on that stuff have "largely ruled out" this theory. I don't have enough knowledge or experience in astronomy to contradict them.

You're free to disagree of course but so far your argument sounds more like a nihilistic "you can never really know anything" which leads to a logical dead end.
There's not much historical evidence I know of that shows monopolies are more efficient or strive harder to benefit their customers.

That's not to say that they don't provide benefits. There are lots of examples of that, but more often they tend to squeeze the most out of their monopoly and ignore looking into providing newer, better, and less costly services.

Consider Sears & Amazon. There's no good reason why Sears didn't evolve into an Amazon like business model except they didn't have the vision or motivation to embrace change.

If you read Theodore Houser's book, "Big Business And Human Values" you'll see how different the company became after they went public (it was employee owned when he ran it).

I suspect that to a significant extent both Google and Amazon are still controlled by those who got them where they are, and this is why they aren't squeezing as much profit out of revenue and instead reinvesting much of it in acquisitions and development.

When or if they ever become entirely owned by investors is when they will start to decay, just like Sears.
Yeah, it just explains Dijkstra's and not very well. A big point is that Dijkstra's like many MST producing algorithms gives you A minimum spanning tree, not necessarily THE minimum spanning tree.

And why does the price of 2 drinks to the same vertex change? Shouldn't all edges on a vertex share the same cost if the edges are only weighted by the cost of 2 drinks? If the edges were a combination of drink and travel costs, maybe this makes more sense (though you still wouldn't see a $0 edge).
Is it me, or does it seem weird to encrypt your secrets by uploading the secret key to GCP (contained in the config .yaml file)? I assume the controller instances are operated by Google in this[1] example.

Moreover, is there any sensible way at all to encrypt secrets without baking the secret key into your image? I can’t think of any.

I want to deploy an app that makes use of one or more fairly important secrets, but I haven’t found a sensible way to make it auto-scale while keeping the secrets on-premise.

As far as I can see, the only sensible solution is to create in-cloud/off-premise secret keys that can only be accessed by images signed with an on-premise secret key.

So,

1. Create secret key on an offline, on-premise machine

2. Produce application image, transfer to offline machine, sign with on-premise secret key

3. Create off-premise (in-cloud) secret, which can only be accessed by images signed with the on-premise secret key

4. Upload app image and signature to the cloud, allowing only this image access to the in-cloud secret

If the EU or US regulators can force Google and Microsoft to unbundle and provide APIs, surely unbundling chipsets fit in the same category. Making chipsets was a successful business for quite a few companies, too bad the FTC didn't force Intel to provide enough documentation, like it mandated the number of PCI-E lanes.

Now if the NSA got to the FTC, that would be different.

I think the opposite. The smart people I knew from the old days could manage enormous imperative code bases in their minds and perform feats that seemed impossible to my lesser mortal mind.

Functional style was like a secret weapon I could use to keep up with them even with my lesser mental horsepower.
I never really properly learned TDD and always felt a bit bad about it. Then I discovered this side effect (or primary effect) of FP and felt like there was no real need for tests. Not sure if I'm just rationalizing but the ability to drop into the data flow and make changes or add features with confidence makes programming so much more fun.

Ask HN: Feedback on my first product to help beginners learn Bootstrap 4?
My journey started about a year ago after using Bootstrap 3 at work and on personal projects. I really liked the framework but had some difficulty learning the workflow and understanding some of the terminology. So I first set out to help others learn the component class names by creating a class reference and cheat sheet.

After this, I began thinking about other ways to help people learn and decided to create an educational product. I interviewed some of my designer/developer friends, performed on-page surveys, and emailed some of my subscribers. Overall it has taken me a year to create this and am excited to share it.

I am just starting to get the word out and was wondering if you would be willing to review what I created and provide any feedback. I would really value your opinion. Thank you!

To me it seems very strange to describe this statement as "racist".

>“But you’re not black,” he interrupted. “Remember, we only kill black people. Yeah, we only kill black people, right? All the videos you’ve seen, have you seen black people get killed? You have.”

It sounds more like a criticism of the police or a bit dark joke rather than a racist statement.
> The police were in the process of searching other apartments

This is illegal. The police can't just search a suspect's neighbor's residence... or all of them. wtf

So let's think about the two possibilities.

1) People feel, through experience, that writing code that minimizes mutable state and side effects leads to building systems that are more easily reasoned about, composed, and debugged, which is the job of the people thinking about FP.

2) Those people just want to look smart.

Geez--I know which of these makes a heck of a lot more sense.
The difference is that existing life adapted to those conditions. It doesn't mean that it could start in them.

But that model still can't be entirely correct. If you raise enough at your high-rollers gala to cover the 3% costs of processing $100,000 in credit card payments, and you receive $150,000 in payments, you're going to need to spend an additional $1500 to cover that. There's no way around it. And you can't say "well, these donations were covered, but these other ones weren't." How do you select which ones are covered? It's all fungible, and it's all going in the same pot.

It's simply more honest to say that everybody is donating into the pot, and that there's overhead on everyone's payments. (And almost all overhead costs, even "fixed" costs, tend to rise with the amount donated.) That's the truth of it, and trust should be earned by telling the truth. Donors should by now understand that.

As for Red Cross's problems, it's much more to do with the fact that they constantly bungle their mission, clashing directly with local aid workers and not getting aid to the people in need. The fact that 26% goes to marketing, much higher than most other charities, is just the icing on the cake (and can't just be solved by shoving piles of money in different pots and claiming that the high-rollers pay for the marketing).
