Worth mentioning that my "got a cluster working in a month" time frame includes starting with zero Kubernetes experience, and no etcd ops experience. Using kops, pretty much anybody can get a full HA cluster running in about 15 minutes. On top of that, it's maybe 5 more minutes to deploy all the addons you'd expect for running production apps on a cloud-backed cluster.

The great thing about automation is that once you have these basic tools (Prom/Graf monitoring/alerting, ELK, node pool autoscaling, CI/CD) implemented as declarative manifests, they're deployable anywhere in minutes.

I've found the key to being an effective tech lead is to look at the team as an extension of yourself. As a senior engineer there is only so much you can do. Given the right team, you can do much more. This requires you do the planning and specifications, and occasionally pick off the difficult task. However, you must balance your engineering time against the productivity of the team.

My number one goal as a lead is always for my team to come in and work without interruption. Everything they need to complete a task should be in the task management software. This is what I want as a dev, and so is what I aim to provide for my devs. This doesn't mean writing all the specs myself. Give the devs enough info to write their own tasks and review them before they start. This is manageable up to about 6 people. If you have a bigger team, then you need sub-leads to spread the load.

> I doubt that here, on HN, most of us would go so deep with conspiracy, but rational thinking did not lead me to the conclusion that Putin is responsible this time.

Putin is given far too much credit. But the Russian wetworks division, under Putin's authority, has its fingerprints all over the Salisbury attack.

> shouldn't people like Assange reveal it?

Largely Assange has been an anti-liberal democracy apologist for the last 5+ years. A sad turn for someone starting at a radical anarchist position, but it's been pretty obvious. He's also largely destroyed any of Wikileaks rep as a honest broker and reduced it to the reputation of "anti-US intelligence". AFAICT, he's operating as a (probably unwitting) Russian front these days.
> yet has been held imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy for 8 years.

But he's not imprisoned, is he? He's perfectly free to come out at any time and surrender himself to the UK or Swedish police.

I wish this was something that people brought up more prominently when discussing cuckoo filters. They fail catastrophically. A bloom filter gradually fails as the number of items inserted increases and the false positive rate tends to one. But a cuckoo filter that fills up the buckets for a fingerprint has to reject an insert meaning that either you start to have false negatives or to guarantee that you don't have false negatives you have to immediately return true for any query, which is a false positive rate of exactly one with a sharp discontinuity in behavior from before the failed insert. I think the salesmanship of cuckoo filters has been a little overdone and in most applications a bloom filter is a better choice.
The shakeup that society will experience from computers and the Internet has not even begun to quake things to their core. The Industrial Revolution invented the idea of the adolescent as a separate class of human. The technological future might very well remove it. While there might arguably be a need for adolescents to be physically strong and capable of physical endurance to work assembly lines and similar.... what teenager couldn't do mental work? They write code on their free time, but can't do it for pay? Unlikely. More likely they will begin illegally working 'under the table' online and eventually be made official, alongside enfranchisement in terms of suffrage and general societal respect.

And that's just one little change. The Industrial Revolution also changed how families were structured, how children were parented, how society saw itself, how homes were built, and a multitude of other things. We'll see similar changes... eventually. Maybe. We're a bit more self-aware this time... and there are old cronies with empires on the line larger than wars have been fought over before... so we shall see.
That is a really weird distortion effect. I don't know if I would have noticed without you pointing it out, but it almost made me feel seasick.

Just looked into how it works without root access. It apparently creates a local VPN interface and routes traffic through it. Which is a fine way of doing it, except it prevents you from using other VPNs on the same device at the same time - https://blokada.org/api/v3/content/en/help.html#howitworks - FWIW, this is also how Tor on Android (using Orbot) works for non-rooted devices (if you want to routes apps that don't have socks proxy support).

Just to clarify re "VPN", it's not actually a VPN to any third party service, it's just a local "fake" VPN interface to intercept traffic.
I used to play Tetrinet, a long time ago, with all of my friends. It was absolutely brilliant.

> And linking this information to my person is probably easier than it already seems in my occasional thought experiments.

Given enough data points it shouldn't be that hard. Browser fingerprinting, IP address ( even if you have dynamic IP ) and enough raw data, it should be a cakewalk. Throw in browsing pattern analysis, writing analysis, click analysis, etc and they could tie much of everything together.

Constellation/SLS was important when there wasn't a commercial launch market because the programs maintained technical and manufacturing know-how.

Now that there are several competitive and reliable commercial launch providers who maintain that know-how, we need to stop subsidizing bloated defense contractors and instead spend that money on buying launches and making satellites.
Car crashes vs. train crashes is because of frequency: Trains crash seldomly enough for it to be newsworthy.

Hi Brad, sorry for the late reply. Checkly focuses on giving just as good an API monitoring experience as the competition you mentioned while treating browser transaction monitoring as a first class citizen. The Node.js based scripts are a factor more stable and easier to run than other proprietary tech. This is also reflected in the price point.

Somebody on a 3d printing forum that I belong to has posted pictures of arm/hand prosthetics that he has printed for kids who didn't have access to more expensive commercially available prosthetics. Its amazing the impact that 3d printing technology and few dollars in filament can have on a person's life.

And it's such a shame that the radicalism of Gropius got all the attention and imitation when he was surrounded by equally modernist architects who pushed the subtle decorative qualities of brick to new heights. Even Gropius himself is best when he puts brick into the mix.
If the admin that received the email did not know how the domain was setup that is not google's fault. If they were paying for gsuite they could have and should have changed the default domain on the account. If they were using the grandfathered free version of gsuite they can't change it but they use the old domain for all logins so it should have rung a bell.

The only surprise to me is that the data doesn't go into a recoverable place for a short time instead of just wiping it.
At this point, they can give any plausible reason, it wouldn't make a difference. They're just bending over to the US... It's surprising they lasted that long already :-/

No, no it's not. Even the worst characterization of it (much less anything reasonably grounded in facts) doesn't come anywhere close to, say, the Rohingya genocide, for just one extremely current example.

> Hasn't been charged with crimes, yet has been held imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy for 8 years.

He's not imprisoned, he's voluntarily in the embassy. No one is preventing him from leaving.

Also, he is charged with a crime for breaching bail conditions during his extradition case.

> Now they're trying solitary confinement.

Cutting off his internet access isn't solitary confinement.

There are two buttons on the page, one for 'read it for free via kindle unlimited' and one for 'buy the book'. You naturally go for the first button that leads to a kindle unlimited signup form, but when you look closely at the page you will see that the price of the book is $0.00 so if you just 'buy' the book you get it for free without the kindle unlimited BS.

Oh yes. Nothing I said should be read as precluding that. High-risk components cause more fallout when they break, that's how it works. Or fragile components break easily. Sure.

But it's wise to keep an eye out for people who are seriously problematic and to establish a pattern of problem-causing, for the purposes of remanding to HR.

yes, notably 99designs’ aws-vault.[1] They only support keychain and plain file backends on OS X, and I’m trying to write a 1Password backend for it. Half of which will be in a separate lib.[2]

I think the problem is that we're turning the 'learner' around in these situations. It used to be that computer interfaces were static, any shortcuts/quirks it had were learned by the human who then used to their advantage.

These days we have systems that is not as smart as us trying to figure us out, with predictable results. Tricks and quirks are ever shifting. A query that used to produce the results yesterday might not function the same two weeks from now. Any skill gained in navigating the system needs to be constantly trained and updated.

I believe something similar happened to Hawking, where he had a keyboard that was not smart, but was predictable so that he was the one learning to use the system. He disliked a new version of the software that would not behave in a predictable way because it 'learned'. I can't find the link anymore sadly.
Intent matters.

There's a difference between a whistleblower wanting to expose things that violate the constitution because they want those things to stop, and a foreign agent exposing the same actions, but with the intent to destabilize people's trust in their government.

The end result might be the same. But to say it doesn't matter where a leak came from, is to also say that whistleblowers are no different from foreign spies.

Update to add my bias here: This is why I can respect the actions of Edward Snowden, but find Julian Assange completely untrustworthy.
Isn't AoMedia supposed to provide a reference implementation? Is there any reason not to use it (an patch it along the way)?
I love how much I can't tell if you're serious.
Do you really need something like Wikileaks to expose how corrupt Russia’s government is? I’m pretty sure it’s common knowledge now.
Yeah. These comparisons to the general population make no sense in the context of a specific company. It makes much more sense to measure against the proportions of that part of the work force if what you're really trying to combat is workplace discrimination.

But that's not what this is really about, it's about racial justice. It's about redistributing wealth and power from whites to everyone else in an attempt to create more equality across the board, not about "fair" hiring practices.
I check bugs and repos often, but I don't know about the mailing list, where is it located?
It's not giving up so much as accepting that there's theater in chastising linguistic drift. Telling strangers they shouldn't use a newer, ironic form of a word is as hopeless as The Very Smart Guy raging at people over "literally" not being literal.

I'll question the information merit of any rotten source. I suggest you do the same.
Irrelevant to the content itself, but I have noticed a tendency in myself to treat the media and the internet as a homogeneous entity. So I might see a bunch of articles and comments about how people want to punish Hollywood for sex abuse, and a bunch more about how a given politician isn't actually guilty, and I think in my brain "well which is it!!" But then if I start paying attention to the papers themselves and the history of commentors, I'm noticing that it's not the same people calling for both. I started doing this after alt right trolls started saying things like "I thought you liberals LOVE new taxes?" and realized it was happening to me.

I'm getting a sense of that from your post.
It does seem to be a problem with streaming services to an extent. I was talking to an award-winning documentary directory and he said it would take 18 months to get the movie into Netflix. Why doesn't Netflix have a ton more independent movies? You can probably get 10 great indie films for the price of one studio film, even a low-budget one.
>That's crazy cheap. The cheapest I could find for state minimum in Georgia was $60 and that was answering the questions as a perfect driver.

Hm maybe it's just cheaper in Arizona for some reason then. Could definitely see a significant difference in state regulations causing that.

Oh shit I forgot about tires, you're right I was missing some things. Better numbers look like this I think:

Battery: $100

Belt: $20

Alternator: $170

Coolant: $20

Windshield washer fluid: $5

Air filter: $10

Tires: $500

1x Wiper blade: $20

4x oil replacements (I replaced when oil looked discolored, not at 7k miles): $100 ($25/each)

No brake job yet, but that's probably coming soon...

Total: $845

Lack of rain/snow/salt on roads probably reduces maintenance costs by a lot in regions like this, so national averages might be higher.

So after both adjustment my numbers are probably closer to $200/month, and I'll accept that's probably an outlier and $300/month is a reasonable estimate for a cheap car.
This is really the crux of the issue: control over local land. It doesn't really apply on a contiguous mainland (though I'm sure Native Americans would disagree, and to a lesser extent Portlanders and Seattlites), but the issue is becoming apparent in these small islands.

It is also becoming an issue in Hawaii, where relatively poor locals are priced out of housing by relatively rich mainland transplants. There are some Hawaiian activists who would prefer their island be independent, though I think unicorporated and have some form of commonwealth (like the Northern Marinaras) would be more realistic. In the end, sovereignty is a spectrum.
Just the UK, where he still faces charges for breaching the bail conditions he negotiated and agreed to in the extradition case.
