From the article:

> Mr. Schmidt did not identify any Volkswagen superiors who might have pressured him to lie to regulators.

I think the point here is refusal to co-operate with prosecutors. They wanted to know who at Volkswagen told him to lie, and they would have been happy to let him off the hook if he co-operated. He refused, essentially continuing to demonstrate his loyalty to VW and thus perpetuating his complicity in the criminal justice process of the very crime he was now convicted of. He failed to demonstrative effective repentance, and now must serve as warning example to other white collar criminals.
Just curious here... It's a license violation, then, not a copyright (law) violation. So isn't it more like breach of contract, i.e. a civil matter between parties, rather than a criminal case? And one does not go to jail for civil cases, do they?

It looks like you are talking here about postgres-operator by Crunchy

Yeah, crunchy was a little faster with releasing it than Zalando, but try you look closer how they deploy postgres on kubernetes.
Somehow it feels that they are trying to map 1 to 1 the same approach how folks used to run postgres on bare metal. That is: deploy master pod, wait until it's up and running, deploy a replica pod, and so on...

It doesn't really look cloud-k8s-native.

In my opinion such deployment should look absolutely different. You just need to deploy k8s manifest, which will create Secrets, StatefulSet and Service which will be used to connect to the master.
The rest should happen automatically:
* StatefulSet will start N pods with postgres
* pods (Patroni) will elect leader.
* elected leader will initialize (initdb) a new cluster
* all other pods will get basebackup from the leader and become replicas
* if the master(leader) pod die - other pods will elect a new leader
* StatefulSet will start a replacement of failing pod and it will join the cluster as a new replica

And more important all it should happen without connection to Etcd, ZooKeeper or Consul. It should just use Kubernetes API.

Basically all this "magic" is already supported by Patroni https://github.com/zalando/patroni/pull/500

We are planning to merge this PR today or tomorrow, and it will make Patroni+PostgreSQL first class citizen on Kubernetes.
The NIH guys also did a study that said that even in tropical countries, Vitamin D absorption has fallen dramatically because of lifestyle changes. One of the probable factors is the lust for fair skin. I routinely see people covered from head to toe to help them stay fair skinned, even kids are sent to play covered in full sleeve clothing.

> Which would you prefer in general: Being forbidden from doing something at all, or allowed to do it at high cost? Under standard economic theory, the latter should always be better. In the first scenario, you have one option: don't do it. In the second, you have two options, including the same option as before.

This is not how the human mind works.

One part is obvious: would you rather starve, with no options, or starve in front of a beautiful cheesecake, just out of reach? Or worse, in front of a cake out of reach to you, but with other people feasting on it? This is not just "envy", it's loss, in the second case we're losing out and we're extremely loss adverse.

The other part is less obvious but no less real: we average the cost of options. A set of 11 plates with one of them broken is worth less to buyers than a set of 10 good plates, because the average value of 1 plate in the first case is less than in the second one. This has been demonstrated many times.

When you go from one option at no cost (slow lane) to one free option + one paying option, then the perceived value/cost of the "free" option isn't free anymore, it goes up because people average the cost.

(That said, tolls are probably the best possible solution; but the transition is always going to be painful).
Nice. What about Equifax? Or only European enterprises are to be held accountable?
Honestly, I'm all in for PWAs in favour of Chrome Apps. To the final user, a PWA will work the same: an icon and a chrome-less window. However, they are built on top of open standards, so any browser can support PWAs and provide the same experience to their users, unlike Chrome apps, which only were supposed to work in Chrome. I hope that in the transition, we see more and more progressive web applications.

PWAs have replaced a few native apps on my phone and I couldn't be happier about it. I can use Twitter, Telegram, YouTube and even read HN (via the Premii webapp [1]) through a fullscreen interface that behaves like a native application (no address bar, tinted notifications bar, push notifications for Twitter and Telegram), but that nonetheless is still a browser.

Support for PWAs on Firefox for Android is around the corner. I'm a Firefox Nightly user and the support is there: websites that have a webapp manifest display an icon on the address bar to let you quickly "install" the application as an icon to the homescreen. It is supposed to reach stable channel on Firefox 58 [2].

> It seems like there is a presumed guilt of executives

It's not guilt as much as responsibility/accountability. As a senior manager you are responsible in the end, and it can often be shown that you either knew about the criminal activity (intent), or should have known about the criminal activity (negligence). It's hard to escape responsibility as a seinor manager and that is healthy.
Wouldn't that cost a huge amount in transaction fees, making the whole thing moot?
Keep in mind that the safety distance you have to the preceding driver increases with speed. Additionally the large speed differential between cars leads to more frequent lane changes, acceleration and breaking, etc. Which hinders the flow of traffic, reducing throughput.

In Germany it's common to use electronic signs to limit speed when the highway is (moderately) congested to help traffic flow more smoothly, increasing throughput (typically to 100 or 120 km/h).
Credit score affects more than credit. It affects your ability to rent an apartment and it affects your insurance premiums in all but three states.
Just to back this up: the journal it's published in has a very very low impact factor of 0.235 (i.e. it publishes 4x more papers that it gets citations, probably most of it's papers are never cited by anyone) [1].

There is virtually no iOS support though. Even though service worker and app manifest are being worked on at the moment in Webkit I think it'll be a while before we see safari/mobile safari updated. I completely agree PWAs are the way forward though.
That's a strange way to look at things. You could argue the computer doesn't come started by default so it's not a security risk...
If there's an option to start it, it's a risk.
Word of advice: don't take vitamins ADEK without advice from a physician for extended periods or in high doses. These are fat soluble so you can have too much of them.
I'm not going to refer to it. If you are curious search on google or HN.

> some of these seem tied to my psychology

Indeed, I personally do see similar triggers, but for me too little exerting exercise and I'm starting to mentally fall apart. This means daily exerting myself. I can skip a few days here and there but then I have to play catch up to "fill back the tank". The trickiest thing for me to notice that was that there's definitely some buildup phenomenon (the "tank" thing), when it's going down I think I'm fine but by the time I start to feel bad it's already too late and filling it back up takes as much time as I skipped exercising, which is even harder since I'm mentally down, driving a nasty feedback loop. As the best exercise for me is outdoors (skateboarding and calisthenics) this puts me in a delicate situation where I'm constantly on the edge during winter time.

As for social experience is a tight rope for me: too much and I'm burning out, too little and I'm crashing hard.

That works for this one example, where the government is selling something, effectively creating a tax on people willing to pay to save time.

But most market exchanges do not involve the government (except sales tax). The government can't efficiently capture the excess funds Bob is willing to spend on ice to provide ice for Paul (though the increased price should provide great incentive for people to increase the supply of ice...)

It actually is quite effective, much like cyanocobalamin. (The usual form in supplements.) Needs just slightly higher dosage than hydroxocobalamin.
Actually, if this is a lower level executive, then this would actually be a fine example. A VW top executive did get fired for this. And then hired by Porsche to replace their top executive that got hired by VW. (VW and Porsche are closely related companies and often cooperate.)

And executives are ultimately responsible for their company. They are supposed to set the standard for their company and ensure their company follows it. If their company commits crimes and they know about it, they should have stopped it and are culpable. If they didn't know about it, there's still the question whether they should have known.

For the VW scandal, top executives have been fired (with no real consequence) but not judicially punished.
It's why we pay them too. For the protection first, not only for the interest. It's has been really nice and secure for people since that they have a technology that protect them for robbing. But Bitcoin fan are totally forgoting this point.

Henry Osiecki in his book The Nutrient Bible, I own the 9th edition published in March 2010, recommends 2000-8000IU for three weeks to reestablish sufficient levels, and a supplementary rage of 400-3000IU a day for maintenance.

I obtained this book while studying clinical nutrition in Australia in 2005.

Yeah definitely read The Robber Barons. It covers all the major tycoons of the 19th century and their financial shenanigans. A surprisingly exciting read, full of wicked deeds. To tell one story from the book, there was a battle over a railroad where thugs hired by opposing companies got on trains at different stains and advanced towards each other. The trains collided and the soldiers jumped off and fought with clubs.

The only other book I've read about the era is The House of Morgan, which covers the history of JP Morgan bank. It's highly recommended as well. It tells a convincing tale as bankers as the good guys (gentlemen bankers), who funded Thomas Edison, the transatlantic cable, Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, and who raised the funds and managed the purchases necessary to win WWI.

If anyone else has finance books to recommend I'd love to hear them.

I bought £100 of Bitcoin in September via Coinbase, pretty much just to have a play with Bitcoin itself, and try a couple of transactions.

To my horror, I discovered that transaction wasn't actually in the blockchain, and that Coinbase essentially has an internal system you just have to trust, which seemed to be contrary to the whole idea of a global ledger.

I setup my own wallet and transferred it to that (thus achieving my initial goal of seeing my own transaction in the block chain). There's no way I'd put any significant amounts into Bitcoin, let alone Coinbase.
We have the best road system in the world with high quality roads over the whole country. Most roads are "rain-resistant", meaning heavy rainfall does not affect road conditions negatively. We don't have any toll roads.

We do pay a relatively high tax for it though. The article is spot on that tolls are the consequence of public not willing to increase their taxes.
Hi Julian, happy to get feedback!

Ask HN: Facebook messenger data spike
I occasionally use Facebook messenger to send the odd text based message, it's convenient as lots of my friends have an account. Yesterday when not using my phone I got an alert saying that I was out of my data limit. On checking settings it appeared that messenger had used around 3gig of data almost instantaneously. Fortunate that the carrier had a hard limit set. I've tidied up the permissions and background data usage on my apps as well as updating messenger (I may stop using entirely).

Looking online this seems to be a not uncommon occurrence. This did raise the question - I can't see Facebook caring about this too much and it's not really the carriers fault so in the world of picking and choosing apps from different providers what can you do?

If anyone with a better knowledge of what messenger is doing in the background wants to comment on the issue, please feel free to comment.
