My friend who works in Apple Hardware had a competing offer from Nvidia. They both offered the same pay and an expectation that you will work nights and weekends, but apparently a followup team lunch at Nvidia didn't go well and he took the offer at Apple.

> They developed 12 seperate applications, all in the same repo, deployed independently it's own JVM.

I've dealt with an even worse system, with a dozen separate applications, each in its own repo, then with various repos containing shared code. But the whole thing was really one interconnected system, such that a change to one component often required changes to the shared code, which required updates to all the other services.

It was a nightmare. At least your folks had the good sense to use a single repository.
I think the context is pretty clear: microservices.

If it takes 10 people to manage one service, it is not a microservice by definition. It is more like a 10x-microservice or a macroservice.
Yep! I work in a heavy industry now and we have original installations of equipment that take 9-12 months typically (after the shell of the building is in place). Once it's installed, it's getting run as much as possible for profits, and contracts for delivering product could very well prevent being able to do a 12 month hold on production while moving.

Some factories are located on rivers because the equipment brought in is many times the max allowable on roadways...there's no other way to get the equipment installed.

Isn't this closer to what has actually happened? The account holder indicated he was from Ireland when he signed up with Microsoft, thus the account was created and maintained in Ireland to reduce latency, thus the Fed should invoke the mutual assistance treaty with Ireland to get the data properly.

> poverty rates are dropping astronomically and are the best ever

I know there are papers which "prove" this but it's actually very hard to measure reliably. And the "best ever" part is almost definitely not true. We only have good data since after industrialisation and I think there are very good reasons to believe that colonialism and industrialisation made people a lot poorer in the first place, which they might lately be finally slightly recovering from. Either way, more people being one notch above starvation and abject poverty is not really a great success. I don't know how fast the definition of poverty changes. Is it fast enough to keep up with rising costs of living?

> People in poor countries have access to extremely cheap smart phones and unlimited information at the tips of their fingertips so the chances of upwards mobility are higher than ever in the 3rd world.

If you think that being able to read some tweets can get you out of poverty, you really don't get how poverty works. The people in these places need ownership over the value of their work. Most investment and therefore ownership in the developing world is not in the hands of the global poor, that's why they're poor. And we want them to stay poor because it allows us to extract the 80% of the wealth, as Oxfam has estimated. Just look at how much money goes out of Africa versus how much is going in:

http://blogs.ubc.ca/grsj102wm/files/2016/11/maxresdefault.jp...

Clearly, people from the first world are stealing massive amounts of the profit from local labour and resources. They do this via privatised ownership, which is the descendant of colonialism and was built into the predatory aid and lending policies of institutions like the world bank and IMF.

> Previous barriers to upwards mobility such as race, ethnicity, caste are constantly being improved.

There are plenty of regions where this is just not true, e.g. in parts of the Middle East. The economic crises people are facing have resulted in some groups doubling down on divisive beliefs.

> In the developed world everyone no matter who you are has access to free food (SNAP), water, shelter...

You must never have been in the kinds of circumstances where you actually had to rely on these programmes to live or you would never be so impressed with them.

> Only manufactured revolutions can occur

This is the one thing you are probably right about but I believe it's because so many people buy into this fabricated narrative of progress. We have also been stripped of more power relative to our rulers than ever and are completely alienated from each other with no way to successfully organise a mass movement with which to revolt.
> [being given as a gift half of the country they had immigrated to] ... was a compromise that the Jews were willing to accept.

What's the "compromise" for the Jews exactly here? They had nothing, they got half of the country.

> This is the whole story in a nutshell.

Really, no. It forgets the illegal occupation of the West Bank, the ever expanding settlements, the unilateral and unrecognized annexation of Jerusalem, the de facto apartheid system in the Occupied Territories, the daily violence against Palestinians.

It does mention Israeli disengagement from Gaza though. Maybe other readers would be interested in knowing how many settlers were actually affected by the famous disengagement from Gaza: eight thousand. Increase in the settlers population in the West Bank since then: more than 150 thousand. Nice trick, huh?

Btw, for some reason on Quora I've found the most blatant and shameless pro-Israel propaganda, often presented with long historical perspectives that are strangely blind on some crucial details, like the one you pasted here. I wouldn't take my information from there on this subject (or actually, most subjects) to be fair.

>Quality of salt

It's not on its face impossible for sea and rock salt to differ in trace minerals, but be aware that the salt itself is the same in both. From the medical stuff you mentioned it sounds like it's the salt itself that's having the beneficial effect and not the other minerals.

Although, I do see an oft-overlooked wrinkle to it: the costs of these minor changes are so small that the odds that there might be something going on unknown to medicine might be worth taking.

Ask HN: Best way to teach someone Python and Data Science in about a month?
I have an ambitious new student taking lessons with me online. His background is in Finance and Accounting, but he wants get into Data Analytics ASAP.

He has been watching videos on Udemy which cover numpy and pandas, but he has been struggling to understand what is going on. I feel he needs to take a step back and learn Python fundamentals.

I suggested we start by using Think Python[0] to structure our lessons, but he said reading the entire book (~200 pages, not like a traditional academic textbook) would slow us down.

Suggestions?

When I hear someone (having, by their own description, a front-row seat for these events) reduce the civil-rights movement to this:

“What I saw was a number of bad laws called into question and ultimately removed by acts of courage and wise restraint on the part of the victims of those laws.”

…as though the white-supremacist, apartheid state that existed in the south at the time was nothing more than a few pesky laws that had all gotten cleared up by 1968, I have to seriously question that person’s powers of observation. It’s such an almost perverse misunderstanding of history that it has be deliberate, right? Any time someone starts out with a premise like, “the civil rights movement, like a spiritual oil spill, left a vast residue of guilt in its wake,” and then proceeds from there, you know it’s going to be a long read.

Sure, there’s an attempt to graft some sort of philosophical backbone to the piece through this (nonsensical) distinction he makes between “appeal[s] to conscience” and ”appeal[s] to guilt,” but it’s confusingly handled and doesn’t go anywhere. Mainly what stands out for me is the relentless lack of empathy that runs throughout this article, which is really more in the way of a rant the a serious argument, anyway.

I think there’s a philosophical and moral argument to be had about victimhood, and the problematic nature of it, but you need to argue honestly. One sentence after he glibly absolves the government of responsibility for the AIDS crisis, he says, “whereas once the idea was to shake off victimhood through courage and organization, nowadays the idea seems to be to enjoy it for its emotional effects,” as though ACT UP never existed. In other words, you can make an argument, but you don’t get to rewrite or erase history that’s inconvenient to your thesis, which he does consistently. It’s disappointing this made it to the front page of HN, it’s a pretty unpleasant, dishonest piece of writing.

Yes, this is still a source of problems - DNS rebinding allowing websites to attack random sockets on LAN and localhost makes my skin crawl. That the protections are being implemented in the browser makes me sad.

> I'd like to see servers that utilize encryption and authentication

Me, I'd prefer architectural solutions further down the stack than /every single service/ that happens to benefit from a TCP control socket having to duplicate the work of encryption + authentication, with the attendant myriad opportunities for it to go horribly wrong. I already mentioned IoT and we know exactly what that's like when it comes to protecting itself.

It’s not a mental model that CF is something in the lungs; it’s a treatment aimed at the pulmonary manifestations of the disease. No one is positing that saline inhalations are going to preserve pancreatic function, but that’s not because they forgot about the pancreas.

People with CF get a high salt diet because the same transporter defect causes an inability to reclaim sodium from sweat. This results in an inability to regulate water content, causing a hypovolemia. It’s not a “treatment modality” in that it directly treats the CF. It mitigates one consequence of CF: losing excess salt in sweat. That has nothing to do with dietary salt intake affecting the course of the disease generally.

And I don’t know where you got the information that surfers are absorbing salt through their skin. As far as I know (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0167273892..., https://ac.els-cdn.com/S0022202X15470599/1-s2.0-S0022202X154..., http://www.comprehensivephysiology.com/WileyCDA/CompPhysArti...) that’s not a thing, but if you have any sources to the contrary I’d be interested in reading them.
I'm honestly not saying this to be antagonistic - I really don't understand what it is the SF police do. As far as I can tell they ignore all problems that involve homeless people (including assault and robbery), ignore break-ins, and tend to do odd things like this article mentions that just incite rage amongst the public. From my understanding a lot of the problems lie with the DA not prosecuting criminals, and many overly forgiving laws in the state of California. But I still have no idea what it is the SF police do on a daily basis.

I think in many cases microservice architectures appeal to engineering organizations with poor communication and cooperation skills where developers desire to be strongly independent because of the lack of management creating a cooperative and coordinated dev and work environment.

On the contrary, if you're going to hold someone up as a sage of the time, compare them to other sages. And you can take someone like John Dewey, who was very well known in the early 20th century, or Randolph Borne as examples of people who were quite perceptive, as sages, and point that they were in fact openly explicitly anti racist. Quite a few of the socialist, social democratic and communist writers of the period had a public record of deep thorough social and political criticism that rivaled menckens sans racism. The "judge them by the standards of their time" can only work so close to our own time, or if you exclude those voices that counter your narrative.

Edited: Its also I think worth pointing out when someone who is held up a paragon of democracy, like Washington is, held views that were quite anti-democratic. If this persons vision of democracy was limited, should we not note this? Regardless (within reason) of the time? There were people publicly writing at the time of the American revolution that believed in an end to slavery, the right of woman and non-property holders to vote, etc. There was a reason that The Federalist Papers were written, it was assumed that the arguments for the adoption of the constitution and the government it would create were liable to lose out for a variety of reasons. We tend to collapse the range of debate that was happening at that time.

Thank you for the answer.

All of this makes sense but also seems unavoidable to some degree. Seems like a set of tradeoffs you make by going microservies that you should be weary of.

Having services fully state-decoupled via unified log is interesting. I’ve considered this but it seemed a bit complicated in terms of then being able to scale the services that need, say, local copies of user profiles.
