"The government could theoretically go back to the 20th century model of taxing more and building more free transportation, but voters haven't shown much appetite for raising their taxes."

This is the author weaseling out of addressing the reality that most Americans want higher taxes on the rich. Not taxes raised on everyone, not funds raised through purchasable perks.

http://news.gallup.com/poll/208685/majority-say-wealthy-amer...

"A significant majority of Americans believe that upper-income people and corporations pay too little in taxes, supporting other research showing that well less than half of Americans -- 38% -- agree with a proposal to cut corporate income taxes, and that the majority favor heavier taxes on the rich."

That's one thing I've been curious about when trying to read up on blockchain this week.

I think the tech may be there but being able to make it publicly accessible and understandable will be the major hurdle.
Segwit2x attempted to replace the existing Bitcoin software and network with something the entire current development team thought was a terrible idea. It relied on the premise that the reason almost every person who had experience deploying changes to Bitcoin opposed it was because they were part of a secret conspiracy to cripple Bitcoin. The software was developed by a single guy, was to be deployed on a ludicrously tight schedule with no real code review, and had bugs that would've caused chaos if t wasn't cancelled at the last minute due to opposition. Hostile takeover seems accurate.

Oh, and BitPay (the payment provider Steam used) tried to trick users into switching to it via a blog post telling them they needed to upgrade to it because of Segwit and their money was at risk if they didn't. Every user who followed their advice will now have a client that doesn't work.
The seller who sold the doctored database in the article though... Looks like he really had nothing left to take. No business left = no cash register, no cash.

The people calling the victim up had paid for the loan database and the uncollected debt, so they legitimately think that they are owed money. They are victims themselves.
The specific projects I’m working on basically process data from an SQS queue. I have a bunch of spot instances set to launch at the minimum prices. If the prices jump (which they very rarely do) I simply have less throughput until the prices come back down. I also have a t2 instance as the web frontend. I’m significantly more budget constrained than I am time constrained, these are basically side projects.

For specific numbers, the AllThePeople.net web scraping and profile compilation runs on Windows m1.small instances. The normal price is 8 cents per hour each while the spot instance costs me only a couple cents per hour each. I set the majority of my spot requests to the minimum possible price. I leave a couple at a higher price point of 8 cents per hour, so at least I have some work getting done if the prices go up. Those numbers are mostly for memory, it’s been a while since I fiddled with it much.

Which would make voting in a president that openly campaigned in a platform to massively cut taxes on corporations and the rich unthinkable, right?

You can often predict reasonably well what individual segments of the voting public will vote for, but they overlap with each other so divining the will of the voters as a whole is really hard. Unless you just promise everyone the earth without any regard to the cost. That can work.
Automating Your Accessibility Tests
Absolute Validation Gold from Patrick McKenzie
Interesting to hear of a connection between this, type 1 diabetes and autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's?). I have celiac, also an autoimmune disease, and one of the symptoms is tingly and numb extremities, peripheral neuropathy. I think that's related to the ataxia side of celiac and nerve degeneration from nerves losing their sheathing.

Prior to diagnosis, I learned that the numbness is also a symptom of Vitamin D deficiency and found that taking supplements helped.
Salaries are a deductible expense for any business entity, so that money is never taxed twice by any reckoning.

The debate about double taxation of corporate profits relates to taxation of dividends, which are neither exempt nor deductible from a business' taxable income. Because shareholders are one and the same as the corporation according to some strains of legal and economic reasoning, by taxing dividends you've taxed the shareholders' profits twice.

If you control a corporation, you could achieve the same tax treatment as pass-through entities merely by paying yourself a salary instead of dividends. But if you did that, pass-through entities are easier because there are fewer formalities involved. The real gripe is that because dividends are taxed at a flat 15-20%, paying yourself in tax-preferred dividends is a tantalizing prospect but-for the supposed double taxation "problem".

The debate is admittedly a little more nuanced when discussing passive investments, but that's a different context than family farms.

I would beg to differ. As you've mentioned, there exists an official TLD suffix. However, de facto, .dev is the testing TLD. I've never seen .example or .invalid in real life. I've seen a tiny bit of .test. At every job that had a test dev, we used .dev. In many cases that decision was made by other developers. Judging by the comments here, and the article, it seems that many people have been using it.

A case can be made. How strong it will be remains to be seen. I hope Google can see the greater good in this. They have a lot of good will to win amongst the developer community.

> I currently prefer Stolon over Patroni because statically typed languages make it easier to have less bugs (Stolon is Go, Patroni is Python)

Sounds like a holy-war topic :)
But lets be serious. How statically typed language helps you to avoid bugs in algorithms you implement? The rest is about proper testing.

> and because the proxy it brings out of the box makes it convenient: On any machine I connect to localhost:5432 to get to postgres

It seems like you are running a single database cluster. When you'll have to run and support hundreds of them you will change your mind.

> if the Postgres fails over, it ensures to disconnect me so that I'm not accidentally connected to a replica.

HAProxy will do absolutely the same.

> Bugs. While Stolon works great most of the time, every couple months I get some weird failure. In one case it was that a stolon-keeper would refuse to come back up with an error message, in another that a failover didn't happen, in a third that Consul stopped working (I suspect a Consul bug, the create-session endpoint hung even when used via plain curl) and as a result some stale Stolon state accidentally accumulated in the Consul KV store, with entries existing that should not be there and thus Stolon refusing to start correctly.

Yeah, it proves one more time:
* don't reinvent wheel: HAProxy vs stolon-proxy
* using statically typed language doesn't really help you to have less bugs

> I suspect that, as with other distributed systems that are intrinsically hard to get right, the best way to get rid of these bugs is if more people use Stolon.

As I've already told before. We are running a few hundred Patroni clusters with etcd and a few dozen with ZooKeeper. Never had such strange problems.

8 Ways That Can Help Project Managers Stay Organized at Work

This is the idea behind "Learning both Weights and Connections for Efficient Neural Networks (2015)", and yes, it works: https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.02626

How to figure out which ones are useful and which ones aren't? Why, you can try the simplest thing that could possibly work. Quoting the paper: "All connections with weights below a threshold are removed from the network". Is that all? Yes it is.
Interesting that this stems in part from misinterpretation of confidence intervals. The referenced paper, A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D [0], seems like an excellent example to illustrate how (and how not) to interpret confidence intervals.

Thanks Chrome. I use .dev quite a lot.
Looks like I'll be using FFox for development from here on, until they also decide to usurp their position! And then I'll just use lynx.

Of course, I could change my ways and start using a different naming system: I notice a lot of development shops using .local, albeit for same machine dev & testing.

Edit: lol. tried to use 'star'.dev, but it came out in italics!
I'm not sure which ax you need to grind here, but electric cars surely solve the pump-gas-in-the-cold-problem you brought up (not to mention a whole lot of other gasoline-related problems).
My pet peeve on HN is people writing comments like they're gonna be peer reviewed. Either the less common words that they use are obviously out of place like someone just discovered a thesaurus (conflated is my favourite example), or it's consistently formal and quasi-academic so I have to put extra effort into reading it. Either way it just makes the authour sound like a pretentions wanker.
Publishing repository by definition contains public changesets. You cannot alter history for them without force. Again, what happens on and between developers can and should be trimmed before it's pushed to the publishing repository.
There is no technical justification. There is a strong culture and habit of using .dev as the development TLD. It has not been codified and accepted formally.

Developers are humans. Technical justification is one of the things that should be considered when making decisions. There are many others.

Developers have not been widely using .example and .test as the spec recommends. They have been using .dev. It makes sense for it to be added as a reserved testing TLD. No one can force Google to do it. We can just petition them and hope that they do the right thing.

There is a lot of goodwill that Google can gain by allowing free use of `.dev`. Even more if they propose a spec to add it to the reserved domains. I would imagine it would be at least $185,000 worth of goodwill.

I'm using only Vysor and Postman Chrome Apps. So I can probably switch to their Electron variants.
But have mixed feeling about Chrome Apps discontinued.
On one hand it's good as Chrome Apps were tied just to Chrome/ChromeOS, while web apps should be platform agnostic. On other hand, Chrome apps were much smaller than Electron apps, as Election runtime has not to be included with every app (Chrome was the shared runtime). There is about 2 orders of magnitude size difference (megabytes vs. hundreds of MBs).

Wish we have system level support for Electron apps, so not every single one has to bundle Electron libraries separately.

Edit: There is already project that is targeting that. https://medium.com/dailyjs/put-your-electron-app-on-a-diet-w...

Enterprise Mobility: Top 5 trends to expect in 2018
Thanks, this is news to me. But then again I haven’t looked at Google cloud platform in years. I guess I should check it out again and see how it’s evolved.
Usually yes, but when one or a few suppliers are the sole source of a resource it’s not that simple. Especially when that resource is very widely used for a huge variety of applications. That’s becaus the benefit to society isn’t simple captured in the monetary cost.

Consider police vehicles, ambulances and utility maintenance vehicles. Does anybody really think they should have to pay tolls? A real market forces purist would say yes, but in reality passing along those costs efficiently isn’t practical. Similarly in theory all roads could be toll roads, but the cost of raising those tolls would massively increase the cost of the road infrastructure, driving up tolls in a vicious cycle. The gas tax is a reasonable compromise by taxing road use indirectly, it doesn’t capture the differing costs of different segments of roads and the demands on them, hence tolls on specific roads. So in the real world you can’t just treat everything like a nail and hit it with a market forces hammer. It’s a powerful and useful tool, one of the best we have, but still needs to be wielded responsibly with an eye to the intended outcome.
Don't you think that part is automated?
There are similar shady companies in Germany that try individual scams surrounding phantom bills, sometimes for phantom services, but it generally stops at that company and selling dept is not a thing. Most countries also don't have central credit scoring entities like Equifax which scare people into avoiding bad credit history and more likely to just pay.
When people say widening roads makes the problem worse, they usually cite as an example 'before construction, traffic was congested for X minutes; and after it is congested for X + Y minutes' the problem is that often demand has increased in the meantime (because of population growth, or increased economic activity).

There is certainly some amount of induced demand, and in the right scenarios, that could make things significantly worse. In the Bay Area, if 880 was significantly widened but 101 and 280 were not, it might make it attractive to drive from San Francisco to San Jose by crossing the bay and taking 880 south. This could make 880 less effective for east bay users.

This doesn't become a significant issue if there's reasonable regional planning, and routes are kept in rough balance.

There's a limited budget for transportation projects though, and they can be complex and time consuming, so often roads aren't widened until there is a significant amount of peak congestion. During construction, things get worse, and afterwards, there's still a period of peak congestion. People who expect a road widening to create free flow conditions at all hours will be sorely disappointed. I'll add that on and off ramp design makes a big difference in traffic flow as well; a full clover leaf is good for interchanges with low traffic, but all the weaving makes for poor results in congestion; redesigning to avoid weaving helps flow tremendously without widening, although more/different space can be needed depending on the specific road alignment.

There is potential to argue about what is the best use of transportation money; I'm not familiar with transportation in the DC area though, so I won't weigh in on that.
Impressive backing by the big name companies.

The idea of treating containers as secure and isolated as VMs is enticing for non-ephemeral services. Are these strictly tuned to exploit intel Hardware features or would they consider supporting the equivalent features in say AMD?

On the other hand, isn't this the realm of mainline distributions like RHEL, Debian and the like? To support such isolation facilities. I always thought clear Linux was a Intel playground for proof-of-concept which will eventually be up streamed to major Linux distributions.Is it not true?

I guess my question is why a separate project like this, instead of RedHat Enterprise Containers or Debian containers?

In my experience, having a good ratio of responsible, experienced developers on the team (one of those may do it, for a small startup) is often enough to keep an eye on it, and a lot of startups get quite far while avoiding the most risky (for them) licenses. If this is reasonably gated while starting a project, or whenever you want to add new dependencies, it's well possible to stay on course.

I'm very interested in music but never took a class or learned notation or theory. This appeals to me because it has always irked me that people would write down songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Happy Birthday as if they start on certain notes. They don't. They start on whatever frequency you want. The frequencies and lengths afterward are relative to the first whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
While you're in Kuala Lumpur, seeing movies in the theater is also quite reasonable. When I was there last year it was anywhere between RM9.50 and RM22 (~RM4 = 1 USD) depending on theater options. Some of the movies were even released there prior to the US release.

I'd stopped going to theaters in the US since I don't think most movies are worth the US price, but I rediscovered how enjoyable it can be...the theaters were all very modern and comfortable and for some bizarre reason, Malaysians like to sit all the way in the back and to the sides. I'd have ticket takers look at me incredulously when I chose seats that would be considered perfect in the US (dead center, just far enough back to not have to crane my neck).

The issue with that is that it’s effectively collective punishment for everyone working at VW, whether they had any part in the cheating or not. If also fails to punish individuals who may since have moved on or retired.

Targeting the individuals responsible seems more fair and efficient on the whole, if more difficult to implement.
