I remember having concerns over finding a tick on myself in the early 90's. The doctor assuaged me at the time among other things with the fact that only a couple of states in the Northeast had to be extremely vigilant about ticks and we were in the South. Now the range for concern is much of the entire range of deer in the United States and researchers are finding it in urban areas in Western Europe.

A small average change is small but it's something. There was some separate issue about saiga antelope undergoing catastrophic die off a few years ago. The best theory now is a temperature change enabling bacterial infection by bacteria that were always present but not killing the antelope. The average temperature would not change that much as per your data but the extremes are going to swing more with climate change.

Ask HN: What is a good book on how to negotiate?
I'm looking for a book that will give me insight into the expectations of the person on the other side of the negotiation, with the assumption that they are well practiced in the art. And having that insight, how to negotiate in good faith.

I can't really recommend abandoned/dead OSes to people. Otherwise I'd recommend Win10 Mobile, which is still my personal favorite and (for the moment) still receiving extremely prompt security updates.
A worker at Foxconn has about the same discretionary income as blue collar workers in the states; their food and housing is covered by Foxconn, but isn't normally listed as part of their salary.

Now, albeit, they're slightly on the higher end of Chinese workers, but it's not just the shitty aristocrat's kids spending money on iPhones. The people making the things make enough money to buy one, just the same as my hairdresser does.
Thanks. (Viewable without non-free JS is fine)
So IDE for Tensorflow. Nice!
Sure but you can’t change anyone except yourself. Pressing on Kara and telling her to stop being defensive probably doesn’t accomplish anything except destroying that relationship and making yourself look like the office bully.

Kara’s manager can encourage her to work on this, but colleagues cannot realistically. And even the manager’s ability here is extremely limited.
It was not an incremental leap. It was MASSIVE.

Yes, all the technology was there. We had smartphones and they would have continued without the iPhone. The value of the internet in your pocket is too big for the smart phone not to become a huge thing.

Eventually.

But Apple NAILED the UI. They made it so simple that 3 year olds can use the UI and are confused when other computers don’t work through such great touch controls.

How long would we have been stuck with tiny screens (relative to the original iPhone) or giant devices (like the sidekick) to get a decent sized screen?

How long would it have taken to get the App Store? Would we get one? That single innovation (making it trivial for people to find/buy software) has been transformative for our industry.

The iPhone pushed us ahead years. Maybe a decade. We skipped a ton of teething time and got straight to it.

Remember, RIM thought the iPhone demo was faked and impossible. That’s how far ahead Apple was.
Free cross platform testing.

Pretty good deal.
No, you don't get it.

The internet is just a bunch of sand, some pieces of metal and wood poles from dead trees?

He had an amazing ability to synergize technologies into products.

Start by noticing when it could be useful. You’ll (probably) find that there are plenty of low-key situations where you can assert yourself without being a jerk, and you can use them as practice.
Interesting you say that about the Apple TV remotes. I thought they were all horrible but I really like the new one. The speed at which I can move around and the precision of selecting things is really great.
Yeah setting limits may be the most important in general. That and staying positive. I've been a web dev since 1995, I lasted this long by setting limits and seeking out companies with reasonable work expectations. Its only worth it to jump into a startup if you're a member of the board of directors. Startup work is good to get your foot in the door but after a year or two of that you're going to want to find a larger company with more stability and sanity, unless you own a portion of the startup where the intense work makes it financially worth it.

This is somewhat related, but you mention the transition to GitHub Apps in your blog post. For those of us already using Travis via GitHub Services, what's the right way to transition to GitHub Apps?
Well not explicitly or in any measurable terms [1]. The term 'Superhuman' lacks technical depth in the sense of measurement. So for the purposes of measuring systems we build vs human capability, it's a pretty terrible measure.

Thanks Josh! I've received your email announcing this move but honestly I didn't understand at first - I had to read the blog post to understand what that meant.

It makes sense that you wanted to maintain a single platform instead of two. The only worry that I have is the following.

At work we are using private repositories on travis-ci.com, but we've noticed some noticeable downtimes over the past year, whereas my open source repositories, including a popular one, which run on travis-ci.org, have their build processes actually way faster and more reliable (I actually haven't noticed any significant downtimes).

I don't know if it's just an impression that I have or if it's something that more people have noticed. I really hope that merging the two platforms will let you provide an even better for both pro and open source users.

Thank you for Travis - many open source projects would be worst without it.
Skeptic's questions:

1. How many are aware that Britain's NHS, if run as well as Spain's healthcare system, would kill 10,000 fewer patients each year due to better treatment? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nhs-world-ranking-... and http://www.cityam.com/270171/nhs-world-class-if-you-ignore-i... (3rd to last paragraph)

2. I can get an MRI in the USA within 3-5 days (sometimes next day), virtually anywhere in the country.

Canada (universal health care) wait times to receive MRI(self-reported by the government): over 90 days in some cases. In the richest and most populous province of Ontario, only 41% of patients got scanned within the targeted time: http://www.hqontario.ca/System-Performance/Wait-Times-for-Di... (you might have to select Adult MRI instead of the default Adult CT)

If you were diagnosed with a possible brain tumor/cancer requiring an MRI to confirm, would the 50 to 90-day difference in MRI and diagnosis result in a measurable difference in outcome, if you did in fact have a tumor?
And yet, NHS is about twice as efficient than the US's system.
Thanks, noted, I'm definitely going to read that -- definitely had to widen the styles for the page though, so much wasted whitespace
It's highly likely his choice was more complicated than that. His net worth is $10B, so $300M isn't exactly pocket change, but it's possible by exiting now he got to make a statement and disavow involvement in future decisions.

Is it possible this is his way of indicating a clear canary event?
What works well outside of the US is that the single-payer government run (or at least government mandated) provides a standard level of care, which more often than not includes wellness and life threatening care (and a lot in-between), and one can buy additional coverage in the private market - but the basic standard care is considered a right, and doesn't disappear just because you have some additional coverage.
Thanks! We used the water tank as the first end-to-end test using the product, and made a website that calls the API every minute to monitor the water level in a dashboard.

The architecture implemented using Lobes for object detection is called Yolo v2 (https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/). It is fairly state-of-the-art for that type of problem and has ~70 million parameters that are being learned (matrices that get multiplied and added together). With a webcam and a GPU over the network, we typically see ~1-5 fps with a lot of network overhead sending output images - looking to make that faster for API deployment. The paper site above shows it having 62.94 Bn FLOPS

I think the concept of not going to an emergency room unless it is an actual emergency is well known?
You can say that about 100% of medical complaints.

Emergency rooms should be for emergencies. You yourself will know if you are about to die.
That is actually very cool. You should submit it to HN.

> The idea that you must support as many browsers as possible is a relic of the 1990s dot com bubble

Your notion of forcing people to change browsers (who may not be able to for accessibility reasons, corporate policy reasons, or hardware reasons) is the real relic of the 1990's.

Remember when half the web sites you'd visit put up a big notice "Your browser is not supported. Download the latest browser here?"

Non-support is the relic. Support is what makes a business work.

The customer's money is still green, even if they're not using the latest tech.

In 2017, before the Republican tax cuts kick in, the treasury took in $3.3 trillion, or 17.3% of GDP. Projections are that, with tax cuts in full force in 2020, we will take in $3.6 trillion or 16.4% of GDP. You're right that annual deficits will reach $1 trillion by that point, up from $660 billion in 2017.

So let's say we want to add Bernie's $1.4 trillion Medicare-for-all to 2020's projected budget of $4.6 trillion -- we're now spending about $6 trillion total in 2020. To maintain the same annual deficit we have in 2017, we'd need tax receipts of $5.3 trillion, or 24% of the projected GDP. If we wanted to balance the budget, we'd need tax receipts of $6 trillion, or 27% of GDP. That is massively higher than the US has ever been able to get. Undoing the Republican tax cuts would barely put a dent in it.

Since raising revenue to 27% of GDP through aggressive taxation is unrealistic, let's say we could do 20% of GDP -- Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter era policies were able to reach that level. That means we need to raise $6 trillion in 2020, and we need that to be 20% of GDP. So our GDP in 2020 would have to be $30 trillion. We would need to sustain 16% annual economic growth during a period of record taxation to get there. The growth has never been that high, not even during record booms, and we would need to reach it and sustain it for three years straight.

Bottom line, if you want Medicare-for-all, you're going to have to accept much higher annual deficits than this country has ever seen -- and that's after a major tax increase on the rich.

The data supporting this post is here: http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/federal-receipt-an...
Centralized systems are more efficient when they're smaller. The bigger a centralized system becomes, the more you need to spend on intermediary layers of bureaucracy that don't actually help achieve whatever goal it is you're going for (in this case, medical care).

The US has ~330 million people. The US has ~13 million undocumented immigrants. The US is the size of Europe. You're not going to magically get the efficiency of European countries 1/10 the size by having single-payer/universal health care.

Imagine trying to have a single health care system for all of Europe. It would not be nearly as efficient as you think it would be.

Does that mean we can't significantly bring down the cost of care in the US? No, we absolutely can. But a national system in the US is never going to be as efficient as any European country's national system. It's impossible to maintain the same level of efficiency when the scale increases exponentially.

I don't forget. They must treat you doesn't mean that you must not pay. They can just send you the bill home after the police get your details. If you have or not money to pay, that's a secondary issue, just like when you get a loan.
Right, but I am not worried (at the moment) that the HomePod will be used to collect my private information to be sold later on. I think this is false equivalence. How is the HomePod any different from connecting my iphone to a speaker?

There's no way I'd pay money for that. I've tried wasting telemarketer calls for years under the theory that it costs them. It's not working anymore, their strategy has changed. They are being trained to detect and hangup, and call back again and again later.

Even the ones that have options to hit '2' and add yourself to the do not call list are not only not adding you to any do not call list, they are confirming there's a human listening and increasing the call frequency. I just had that call 5 minutes ago, after attempting to opt-in to their do not call list twice this week.
Salesman is an oversimplification. He was a productizer that could sell. :)

Also, does anybody know what cable the longest (number of years) a specific Apple cable/connector has remained compatible with the ever-changing hardware?

I am guessing it is this thing:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MK122LL/A/power-adapter-e...

Apple has always had BS connectors, like the Powerbook 5300 (1996)and G3, G4 laptops power connector - an male RCA plug, but the inside contact replace with a 3.5mm headphone plug.
The underlying reasoning for universal healthcare is based on a principle, does this principle end at the US border, which I'm told is just some arbitrary, meaningless line right?

If it's not clear, my tongue is firmly in my cheek as I say that, but where it isn't in my cheek is when I'm telling you some people don't just buy your simple pro-universal-healthcare argument wholesale, especially when you refuse to defend it against valid questions like this.
How to Overcome Accidental Data Deletion in MySQL and MariaDB
I think anyone who's used Siri would debate you about the "as capable as the others" part of your statement. Not to mention that when it was announced, several of its features were tied to the introduction of AirPlay 2, which still has yet to be released.
Never said otherwise. I made the statement in response to the view that government run necessarily means inefficient. Clearly the converse is true. There are lots of examples.
You can see it happening right before your eyes.

Quite interesting. F'ing scary too.
I did something similiar, but directly from postgresql triggers: https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-http

You just have to be careful with failing queries and set timeout to low.
I want to note that this has actually been possible since like k8s 1.7, you can just start a DB with node affinity and use hostPath volumes.

That's what I was doing until rook came around. If you're running in something like AWS (or even if you're not), you can also do something like attach an EBS volume (to a local host) and do that. Or, you can set up a plain ISCSI drive (or get one from your provider, even basic providers these days might offer storage that way) and use that.

There have been a LOT of choices for a long time.
What's foolish is making statements like that when the evidence suggests otherwise.

Educate yourself.
Has this talk with a friend, but it was actually centered around accessibility of technology for older people (or less technologically-inclined people, if you must).

If Jobs had aged, needed reading glasses, and maybe had Parkinson's, would there be more of a push towards making devices easier to use? Would Siri be more functional?

I know Jitterbug exists, but it seems almost insulting. (If anyone has used one and feels otherwise, please share.)

This will come at the right time for us, we've recently been spinning up our own k8s cluster on DO using kubeadm and flexvolume plugins, and are progressively migrating micro- and monolithic services in ascending order of criticality.

Seconded, currently we set project integration up manually but since we're still ramping up that's not a cause of concern yet.
For me GraphQL adds a lot of complexity when setting up the API for only an incremental benefit when querying. Do others feel the same? Or am I missing something?
You may still have the same DB product, but you do swap out the db for dev, testing etc.

Matter of fact, we swap out the db to locally hosted mysql or postgres for development & use Oracle only in prod. The overhead I think is that our sql's are fairly standard & do not use any proprietary features of any single db.
Interesting idea, but I don't think anyone would pay for it. From a freedom perspective it would probably be considered SaaSS[0]. You could use wkhtmltopdf[1] for a service like that.

> Simply put he was a master at finding good things and refining them into great things.

I'm not sure if you mean that as an insult, but honestly it's probably the most important thing he could have done; there's no shortage of good ideas out there, but most of them have terrible execution. Being able to see through that bad execution to the good idea, and imagine a great execution not encumbered by what it had, is a profoundly valuable skill.

California Supreme Court Ruling Delivers Big Blow to Gig Economy Companies
It's a really poor metaphor, though. ICOs are stupid, but really easy to avoid (just don't put money into them). Certainly not "awful" in the way losing a loved one to an early, excruciating death is. They're not deadly and they don't "spread", at least not by any means remotely comparable to how cancer spreads.

It's not like the author works with the metaphor, either. The word appears exactly one time on the page, in the title. It's pure clickbaiting.

Yeah, but don't forget that the pieces to be able to create the iPhone had to be there first.

There are apps like Extreme Call Blocker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greythinke...) which you can set up to send everything not in your contact list straight to voicemail.

Also you could use something like Should I Answer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mistergrou...) which will show you if a caller is spammy based on a huge database of crowd-sourced ratings.
I mean, sure, the defunding started in the early 80s with Reagan, but we only started to see the effects of that in the past 20 years or so.

Kali Linux 2018.2 Features and Support
There's two pieces of this here:

1. If you're legally obligated to keep information, you should keep it. This is one of the "legal bases" of handling personal data. Others are things like they consented to this, you have a legitimate business activity with it, they contracted you to do something with it, etc.

2. The GDPR makes a really clear distinction between personal information (email, name, religion, etc.) and everything else: you need to delete the personal information.

So it's not necessary to do a cascading delete of everything the user ever created if they ask for their _personal_ information to be removed.

This isn't really GDPR related, but you can see this on Reddit sometimes where comments that a user remain, but the user deleted their account.
There are several forms of transmittable cancer in other species. Luckily none in humans yet.

A few of the top of my head...

- UI for managing all the major resources (that isn't read-only or "insert large properly-formatted yaml file here")

- Access control integration to other systems like AD

- Grouping multiple namespaces into "Projects" and doing RBAC and Secret definition/assignment at that level instead of duplicating yourself for every namespace

- You only have GKE clusters today but if tomorrow you want something on Amazon or your company acquires a team with existing stuff in Azure you can still have one place to manage it
