“The Proper Hotel” in SF has tablets in the rooms. They run android and it works great. Definitely better than installing an app.

The room was expensive though, I prefer AirBnB with super hosts.

So definitely not a feature that alone would get me to come back.

From talking to their friends, or older siblings, or parents about their experience. By watching non-pornographic films where sex scenes are more realistic. By reading online accounts from other teenagers or adults. By talking about it in sex ed class. By reading articles in the newspaper such as "What Teenagers Are learning from Online Porn".

Moreover, the 15-year-old doesn't need to know what real sex is like in order to suspect that porn is fantasy. "Snakes on a Plane" is not treated as a documentary by people who have never travelled on a plane.

>For computers, Musk said, using large numbers of small computers ends up being a more efficient, smarter, and faster approach than using a few larger, more powerful computers.

I always figured, in theory, a super-super-powerful single threaded single processor would out compete the multi-threaded multi processor design on efficiency, because of the hardware and software inefficiencies in inter processor hardware connections and communication. In practice, I suppose there is always a physical limit on the total capacity of low latency addressable ram and storage you can manage to shove into an architecture.
The post you're replying to is absolute hyperbole. If you're hiring k8s guys who don't know etcd and the backend of k8s (we're not going to understand every single gear, I constantly forget how k8s garbage collects, I never have to interact with it) then you're not hiring Seniors who have worked on k8s for several years. That's no different from hiring a linux admin who only knows how to fix Cpanel. You made a bad hire or your budget wasn't high enough to attract experienced talent.

I'm one of the most frequent commenters on #kubernetes-users so I'm very aware of the questions and issues that come in from new k8s users and I'd say an absolutely massive majority of the users are running in baremetal via kubeadm/kops/etc. Typically on AWS (NOT EKS). The #gke channel is literally 1/10th the size of the #kubernetes-users channel.

If you have questions about k8s post in #kubernetes-users. The community is extremely helpful.

A LOT of people deploy K8s clusters via Terraform/Ansible, as well.

Why are professionals who know k8s back and forth less common? 2 years ago k8s was 1.1 and we had no idea where the market was going and if it would take off like it did. It takes time to build up the community and expertise. There are a LOT of very experienced k8s users nowadays whereas there were not 2 years ago. Finding someone with 2+ years of k8s experience who isn't a Xoogler is fairly rare right now because 2 years ago it wasn't the market behemoth that it is right now. I don't work with Google but I just happened to get involved with k8s almost 3 years ago. We are out there.

If you can't find an answer ping me @mikej and I'll try to get you going in the right direction.

> The problem, or _a_ problem, is that people can only handle so much controversy. They have lives to lead.

You're so spot on. You know how everyone says, "Seinfeld is a show about nothing!" It wasn't about nothing, but what did make it different is that the characters never changed. They didn't have these huge arcs and defining life moments. They just went about their lives and we watched.

People say "it was about nothing!" in shock, as if its incredulous that a show without drama in the characters lives could be so popular.

But that was why it was popular -- because most people's lives, most of the times, are not filled with drama. They just go about their day.

And most people like it that way.

If you don't have to map to DTO, or domain == dto, then its probably an overkill.

But what if you expose domain model to the view, and view changes some property? Are you 100% it will not be saved to db?

If you change one field in a db, do you have to change domain model and UI also?

Important concept is Persistence Ignorance, and how "far" are you willing to go with decoupling application layer from database and domain model. It really depends on your app, and there's no "one correct way of doing this".

I really liked the Merrill hikers I started buying about 10 years ago. I wore out about 4 pair over the course of about 6 years. Then they quit making them and the next time I tried to buy a pair of Merrill's none of them were near as good.

There were a lot of discussions on a backpacking forum I belong to about this and the universal consensus came to be that Merrill was no longer a shoe we could recommend. As they got more popular their quality receded and I and others really mourned that.

Before we started buying Merrill's we bought aftermarket insoles for our shoes and many of us are back to doing that again. But you can do that with a lot less costly shoe and Merrill offers no real advantages right now over some of those cheaper shoes.

Selling a cheaper made shoe for the same premium price may have increased their profits a bit in the short term, but that cost them a huge amount of good will.

You cannot fool hikers or runners with inferior quality and they don't care what your logo looks like. Reputations rise and fall with them and Merrill has lost theirs.

You cannot stay at 18F for the long term. These are limited term, 'non-competitive service' positions.

* Job security only for your 2 year term (unless you renew by another 2 for a max of 4 years). After that, you need to leave government service

* Health care coverage was similar to major tech companies in the Bay Area. However, vision / dental benefits were worse.

* Pension benefits only start after 3 years of government service, so most working for 18F will likely not receive these.

But I agree that for other government positions these are good perks.
That's a good point. I should have been more clear. When i said "that's a road you don't want to go down", I don't mean to say no laws have been created that don't have racial bias. That's definitely a problem, especially in the South.

But I have a problem with arkh's assertion that...

I think this is absolutely true. But things get murky when you're talking about sites like Facebook that are a primary means of communication for a significant part of the world's population. Because there's no "public space" online, large social networks become the de facto public space. But because they're not truly public they can do things like censor speech that would normally be allowed in the town square.

Maybe it's just trained on full comments, not the composing words?
after 20+ years in the game both in APAC and Europe, I have to disagree here.

Yes you get a lot of competition on entry level roles. The opportunities for engineers working as experienced consultants is massive in Germany and Switzerland incl some North European markets (not going into these locations due to my lack of experience and what I perceive - a high tax burden).

In most places (except Eastern EU) you can easily make EUR >200K/year and never be out of work. You have to register as a freelancer and learn a) what your service is and b) how to invoice that.

Though even you don't think about that (at all) and simply hire yourself out to whoever has a gig you probably can charge above €70,-/hrs (for some simple SW development). You have to maintain good relationship with agencies or find your own clients (I started out finding my own clients because all agencies demanded freelance experience regardless of my experience as an "employee", later I worked mainly with agencies to focus on my core skills and not worry about procurement, finally I created my own agency which I ended up regretting :D).

Quick start: go to www.gulp.de (sorry in German) and extract every agency who advertises through them, spam these agencies with your CV and let them know you're available within 30 days. Have enough references and if it's your first "gig" know how to avoid the question "do you have any experience as consultant" like the plague.

If you register as freelancer remember you have to pay your own taxes and healthcare. A good rule of thumb for how much you should charge: take the avg salary for a full-time/perm role in this domain and double or x2.5 it. You need to be able to live comfortably by working 8 months out of 12 (risk-mgmt: if you are suddenly out of a project - though in all the years this never ever happened to me). You need to deduct your healthcare (in Switzerland / Germany it is very low ~300 upwards for a good plan), social security: put away 30% for retirement. Any expenses (car or costs for transport that includes the leasing rate on your new BMW, Tesla or Porsche) is an expense provided that you use it for work most of the time (talk to an accountant which you would have to anyway to do the taxes for you at year end. costs €600-€800/year).

Things to avoid in Germany/Austria: agencies that promise you a full-time gig but contract you out to their clients as a freelancer. You would not believe the sh1t I have seen in this space. The system is called "Arbeitnehmerüberlassung" in German (and specific to Germany) which borders on modern slavery.

In the Apple Newton source code, a cow-orker of mine wrote a comment about Sharp Electronics, our manufacturing partner. The comment was a snarky inclusion of their corporate motto, "From Sharp minds come sharp products" in a place where Sharp engineers had done something unusually boneheaded that my friend had had to work around with an ugly hack.

Then someone shared the source code in question with Sharp (as sample code or something), and they found the comment.

Many, many apologies later, $mike was able to laugh about it, though I don't believe he ever felt unjustified. This may have been the time that he decided that his unofficial job title in Newton was Official Scapegoat. "Feel free to blame me for anything that goes wrong. I won't do anything about it, but at least you can blame someone."

Ah food. I believe Soylent was experimenting with this idea of make it work and then make it work right, which resulted in a lot of entertainment for those that read the toilet stories of Soylent customers.

I don't see why there has to be a hard cut between make it work and make it work right or fast in prototyping. With more thought, perhaps the product can already be largely right and fast enough and also easily improvable.

I can't help but look at this saying as an excuse to get something done fast with the hope it can be improved later. This is not a general truth.

I think a better way would be to make a mini magnetosphere around the space craft - most of the radiation that’s dangerous in space is high speed protons in the solar wind. By surrounding the space craft with a magnetised plasma you can make these deflect around it, just like Earth’s magnetic field protects us from the solar wind.

The premise of the article is flawed.

It's a hardware startup that is selling to Hotels. There are barriers to entry, but nothing inherent to being a B2B startup.

Bootstrapped B2C hardware companies face similar challenges.

Hotels are only one business vertical, there are hundreds of thousands of business verticals, some of which won't require as much upfront product investment to gain traction.

It boils down to this: hardware startups need funding to get off the ground.

Here is my unsolicited advice:

Find yourself a business co-founder who has experience in the hotel hospitality space. If you can convince them of the value of your idea, and the sign on, their job is to find a few hotel chains to do a paid-for pilot. This person could even be your first investor.

In lieu of that, raise a friends and family round to generate enough funds to get the hardware you need, and target a subset of rooms at a hotel (luxury room suites). You won't have to buy nearly as many tablets, and their patrons already expect a premium experience.
