> The only co-living options in the UK are currently in London

The only places branded with this buzzword, certainly. There are many, many people sharing a house with other people they don't otherwise know. And, of course, student accommodation. I wonder how much these rooms (which the article says were built for students) were actually going to cost for the students that would have lived there before it was bought and "rebranded".

The other place £2800 a month for a flat share is insane though - I live 20 minute on the train from Waterloo station, and that price will rent you a 1300sqft three-bedroom house. I guess it must be exponentially increasing as you get closer in.
Why not? Countless people worldwide live in places that would be flooded if a dam broke. We saw this last year in California. And how many more people live at sea level in coastal areas that are prone to flooding?

Maybe you refuse to live in such areas, but there's probably several billion people who do.

Wow, that's rich. Is it really beyond your comprehension that someone might be deeply hurt by losing the capability to engage in sexual relations with their significant other? I know you say you 'can imagine other people having enough of a problem' but I'm not sure you really do when you word it that way. I agree that it's more expensive and more risky than gender reassignment but I don't understand why someone trying to return to a fully functioning body is considered "elective".
both my complaints would still apply:

I still want a provable control mechanism to measure the influence of organ donor status (donating or not, rich or poor, etc) on donor death rate (if this is happening this would typically not be just for one organ, but for multiple; and the value of the organs would have to exceed the costs from the perpetrator perspective: value from acceptors, from research on tissues, from educational value of the body parts, saved future costs of the donor on the health care system, ...).

Think of it this way: if there was a mathematically provable mechanism in play to prevent this in an open, reproducible and public fashion, there would be more people open to donating their organs after death.

Just as for the genital case, if a person had a hand transplant and exclaimed the finality of his joy without first assessing the result (do I still have the same dexterity? if my sensation is measured with an ABX test, do I provably feel as finely details in texture of objects? do I have full motor control?) then yes I would make the exact same complaint.
Well, a nice office in a "culturally rich city with dozen of events, museums and world-class cuisine"?! Like it's done for all other industries. Some nice polished marketing and the fear of missing out if you don't go to the place where all the "exciting things happen".
"Stealth" is a principal, not a technology. There are a handful of radar techs that defeat traditional stealth technologies that seek to limit reflections, but the principal of hiding from radar is still going to be a thing.

Radars, even quantum radars, each have their issues. The most powerful stealth tech isn't defeating a radar but understanding it well enough to leverage its defects in coverage or operating range. The f-117's real trick was the preflight planning based on a deep understanding of the threat environment. A radar avoided need not be defeated.
That is because it's less focused on one city so that demand is a bit better distributed. Zoning law is also more helpful than in London, where laws prevent from building on one of the numerous golf courses in the city.
What are the main issues with IPv6?

Edit: I did not mean this as a derogatory question. It's legitimate. I simply posted it under the wrong OP. Calm down people.
Ugh, boo hoo. "Autonomous" Universities have become political and a source of left propaganda. Only time they complain about it is when the politics are on the "wrong" side.
Sorry, I'm not sure I follow your question.
Flatshares are completely normal in many UK cities and they are marketed directly as Student Houses in places like Cambridge. Rightmove even has a special checkbox for them.

I've never heard it called "co-living" however.
For students a flatshare is normal but all Germans I know that work full-time live in their own flat. In London, living on your own after university is basically impossible (unless you live very far out).
> What really is horrible here is the asymmetry of cost

That's the fate of most military technologies throughout history, why would stealth be different?

Does medicine still have universities teaching in Latin?

I haven't come across significant latin usage beyond naming conventions in medicine.
I think you are doing a great job here. I looked through your sections on determinants and inverses, and it is so much better than the way I was taught: "this is the formula for inverting a 2x2 matrix. This bit is called the determinant." For me, learning always works best when I know what we are working towards and seeing how it works, and putting the formal definition first is rarely effective in that. Start with a specific example, concrete where possible, and generalize from that.
Yep, I was wondering if anyone would get the reference. I don't know why they call it "bonkers", though: it seems perfectly feasible from an engineering perspective, although it's obviously a serious megaproject, and would be extremely costly. But the cost could very well be worth it, for both electricity generation and land creation. The main problem I see is political: who would own and control it, and who would get to take ownership of the new land, and also a lot of people would probably fight it because it'd be changing the geography so significantly (lots of wealthy people with waterfront property wouldn't after the sea level fell).
Interesting annoucement, I'd like it better if there was a clear comparison between the current possibilities offered by Jenkins 2.0 and this version of Jenkins.

I'm not huge fan of the demo video, since it doesn't really handle what I can only imagine is a very common use case : I already have a Jenkins 2.0 instance with Jenkinsfiles, how easy would it be to migrate to Jenkins X ? Is it isofunctional with added capabilities ? How much will I lose ?

Bootstrapping a java spring app from scratch is fun, but I suspect most people have an already existing codebase with already existing CI/CD tools.
Even in developed countries IPv6 is barely deployed (my UK ISP - BT - pretends that they rolled it out but half of the time my modem tells me IPv6 is not availabled until I force it to reconnect, and no sign of IPv6 on mobile networks).

Was looking at whether it was more economical to buy a small address block vs rent it from a datacentre. A /24 address block seems to cost around $4,000 upfront but then you need to pay €2,000 signup + €1,400 per yr RIPE membership fee. On the other side IPv4 is not going away and the price is only going to go up given the failure of IPv6 to deploy. Is there any way around the RIPE membership? Like owning an IPv4 address block through a proxy / broker?

[edit: RIPE fee]
Yes, and that's the main advantage of choosing (a) or (b). But it's not quite as hard as it sounds; since all your state is safely in fdb you "just" have to worry about load balancing a stateless service.
We do have more and more people in the world. Things like NATing can help get around it to some extent, but at the end of the day there aren't enough addresses to give every human alive today even one IP address. That doesn't strike me as a problem that can be solved by buybacks.
An opinionated post about another quantum radar:

Chinese "quantum radar" is a thing that cannot exist
https://motls.blogspot.com/2017/03/chinese-quantum-radar-is-...
In Germany quality of education is going downhill fast - that is not only my personal impression but also what friends in other Unis tell me.

The universities grow huge marketing and managing administrations while teaching is lacking even often money to pay some student to check the sheets and research is solely dependend on 3rd party funding.

Even if you have access and funding for equipment there are no funds to pay someone for maintenance or making good use of the equipment.

Some PhD that were not quick enough to deny any involvement are doing the job or clueless student assistants that are left alone.

Plagiarism is also rampant and most students avoid any extra work/activities at all costs. Suing for better grades is also not uncommon.

Research often turns into pushing out publications and papers at all costs and is more like an art to defend your own existence than acknowledging or understanding the problem domain.

Luckily not everywhere but I've heard that more than once and confirm it for my uni.

> Nationalism is, for better or worse, part of human nature. It’d be mighty hypocritical for humanity at large if people could just pick and choose from their history.

It might be hypocritical, but nationalism not only regularly involves that, but goes beyond it to often involve picking and choosing from a combination of actual history and fictional history, and that seems to be at least as much part of human nature and nationalism itself.
To me, this is a feature, not a bug. In my experience, usually the questioning of motive is well-founded and the poster is really doing something that in a perfect programming world shouldn't be done. Then, if the poster is able to explain why they are forced to take this particular route, people will usually accept it and answer.
Btw I’m the author of the above blog post & committer on Jenkins X.

So our focus is currently anyone looking to automate CI/CD on kubernetes, the cloud or any modern platform like OpenShift, Mesos or CloudFoundry which all come with kubernetes support baked in.

You can use just the CI part and do CI & releasing of non-cloud native apps if you want - we use Jenkins X to release jars, plugins & docker images using it - but doing so does miss out all the benefits of automated Continuous Delivery & GitOps promotion across environments

I guess building quicker is more important than building better, especially in hackathons or in startups where you are testing the product-market-fit. That means, one can use whatever language/tool they are most productive with. Of course, if you are lucky and if you gain momentum, then you will have the resources to re-engineer it with the right language/tool.

>> its totally reasonable to expect YouTube to pay people to watch every video, and yet the people bundling the video think thats unworkable.

Talk to full-time youtube creators, the people who pay their rent via youtube vids. It is a precarious existence. Shifts in youtube policies mean income varies wildly from month to month. They dare not risk hiring anyone. On the other hand, youtube's revenues are relatively stable. They control the money and thereby outsource any irregularity to content creators. If anyone is in a position to hire people it is youtube.
I'd be really surprised if Mandarin reached such status not only in 20 years, but in the next 100 years. While it certainly gets more popular due to China's growth as an economic power, its far behind English when it comes to number of non-native speakers.

On top of that, learning Mandarin is very difficult. It's a tonal language - as someone who has absolutely no ear for music, I find it challenging to understand the differences between different tones. The alphabet is another obstacle - even in China children at school learn words written in pinyin (system of writing Chinese characters in Latin alphabet) first. Even with China becoming an economic world leader, I don't see Mandarin becoming mainstream (having said that, I learn it and I enjoy it, although it takes me much, much longer than to learn any other European language)
Actually, as someone who's actually been an academic in Western Europe, I'd say the reverse is true. Certainly mathematical ability is better in Western Europe (on average). The top, no doubt, SV's top performers far exceed those Europe has (perhaps because a decent part of them are from Europe, and those weren't selected randomly. I mean to some extent that's fun because I actually know almost 10% of the top ones. From working with them before they went to the US).

But average among the population, even at universities, no doubt whatsoever, Europeans are better at math than USians. But for the top, the brain drain makes the playing field very unequal.

Besides, it's not just ability of people at universities itself. Money for programs is also very different. The US military supports US research ... and in Europe ... it's also the US military that supports research (but obviously not equally, and I must say, I find it hard to blame them for that). And in the US you regularly see academics pay for their own organizations outside of the direct academic context. Obviously that works better with better pay. There are government grants, but it doesn't compare to US university endowments (or however they sponsor that). Many of the people "brain drained" didn't leave until they were 10 years into their academic career, out of frustration of just not fighting on a level playing field just because their governments just don't support them.

If German universities paid the same, and stopped the brain drain, I have very little doubt they would exceed the output of SV. But with the current levels of people leaving, never going to happen. And to be fair, Germany's universities are nowhere near as bad as Southern Europe's universities, and even those are far ahead of most of Eastern Europe. That doesn't mean there isn't the occasional great person working there, there is, but most of the good ones leave.

That being said, I don’t have major qualms about closed hardware. It creates the incentives that have allowed for massive investment in what is now cutting edge technology, and over time it is trickling down to more open hardware.

The number of proprietary technologies in a modern high-end GPU is staggering. Maybe one could say in an alternate timeline open hardware could have beaten companies creating GPUs with proprietary IPs, but it didn’t really happen. So I’ll take 1080tis with binary blobs over the open alternative.

That's approximately a /17 worth of IPv4 addreses, recovered over multiple years going through all the low hanging fruit (eg the original /8 networks).

9 million addresses for 2 years is a burn rate of ~375k/month. Another 2 million newly obtained addresses in the next 2 years will last 6 more months.

The video isn't misleading. You are missing the point. It's pointing out that advertisers don't really care about how controversial the content is.

> In other words, if your sales team is essentially the "black box of YouTube" you are beholden to YouTube's "demonetization algorithm". Kimmel (ABC/Disney) does not.

That's the point. Why is coca cola fine with advertising on controversial video on kimmel's TV shows but not on other people's content on youtube?

You could discuss the same topic on youtube and you would be demonetized while kimmel isn't. Why? It can't be because advertisers don't like that type of content. Otherwise, they wouldn't be advertising on kimmel ( tv and youtube ).

Advertisers are advertising in china, saudi arabia, israel, russia, etc. So obviously they have no qualms about image or controversy.

From 2011 to 2016, they didn't have qualms about offensive content on youtube.

So what changed? It's simply a matter of traditional media like CNN constantly attacking youtube and advertisers to get more money for themselves.

That's it. If you applied the same rules on youtube as you did on TV, the entire industry would have to shut down.

Think about it. During the las vegas shooting, CNN shows dead bodies and was exploiting controversial topic for their own selfish ends. Advertisers had no problem showing their ads on CNN during that time ( on TV or youtube ). But if a ordinary youtuber covered the topic, it would be flagged as "controversial" and not advertiser-friendly. But that doesn't make sense since advertisers had no problem advertising everywhere else.

The only reason there is demonetization on youtube is because the likes of CNN has been constantly attacking youtubers and advertisers because they want the ad money coming to them. It's pretty slimey but what do you expect from CNN and the media.

In this thread, no. But that’s a very common prevailing theme, that normal users are “dumb” compared to techies. Ask any help desk technician or desktop support employee or the BOFH or really anyone who deals with end users. Chances are they’re gonna say end users are dumb.

If anything, this persons attitude is refreshing, giving end users a bit more credit.

Show HN: My Book: Build a SaaS App in Go
Hi,

I've reached the pre-order phase for my book on building a back-end JSON API in Go for a SaaS or web application.

I've build two SaaS using Go in the last 4 years, LeadFuze and Roadmap. This book contains what I've learned building those.

It's way harder than what I thought to write a book. After receiving lots of requests to have early access I decided to enable pre-order and publish chapter as they are ready.

I thought it might interests some of you here maybe if you were looking at using Go to build your next product.

This is the book URL: https://buildsaasappingo.com/

As always all feedback are highly appreciated.

Thanks

You did not have to be a company, your estimates of how many of the IPs you request you'll plan to use right away, after one and after two years just had to be within some boundaries (ripe form #160, if memory serves me correctly).
Universities used to be elitist in that only the smartest got in.
For my entire career (I'm a lifelong Londoner) I've been bemused by newcomers to the city who essentially refuse to even consider living beyond zone 2. I grew up on the border of Z3/4 and now live in Z6, but have worked either in zone 1 or beyond it (in travel terms) since late 1996. My gut feeling is that the horrific prices in the centre are very much tied to what seems to be a perception that the outskirts suck.
