It's complicated, because the definition of Service Fabric seems to be in flux.

The "original" Service Fabric is a high-level framework which requires invasive source code changes (you can't just drop an existing app on top of it), but gives you lots of benefits (scale, reliability etc) if you make the effort.

Recently container-based platforms - Docker, Kubernetes, etc - have come along with a different tradeoff: better compatibility with existing applications in exchange for less magical benefits. That approach is getting much more traction, and I think internally at Microsoft there is some infighting between the "Service Fabric camp" and the "Containers camp". One consequence of the infighting is that Service Fabric is extending its scope to include features like "container support". It's not clear to what extent that is done in collaboration with the "container people", or as a way to bypass them. I think they are still trying to decide whether to embrace Kubernetes, or replicate the functionality in-house. My prediction is that the container-based approach will win, but if will take time for the politics to fully play out. In the meantime things will continue to be confusing.

Bottom line: when evaluating Service Fabric, watch out for confusing and inconsistent use of the brand. It's a common pattern with large vendors - for example IBM with "Bluemix", SAP with "Hana", etc.
Dwelo | Software Engineers / Devops / QA | Full Time | San Francisco Bay Area and Salt Lake City | Full Time
Dwelo is the operating system for apartment communities. Our software, hardware, and service platform enables the owners and managers of multifamily properties (think, apartment buildings) to offer smart homes as an amenity to their residents while also improving the efficiency of their operations. In the last few months we've invested heavily in the metering and data analysis side of our business. And we have been integrating with devices outside of apartment units to bring entire buildings online.

The engineering work we do has hardware (IoT, cellular, zwave and other forms of connectivity) and cloud (AWS, Twilio Sync) components. We are especially interested in talking to engineers who build with Python, Rust, and Scala. However, anyone who loves to see their software manifest real life effects on the corporeal world, or do predictive analytics on millions of sensor readings from networked devices, or create a magical and eminently accessible experience in the homes and communities of our residents and the operations teams that support them should talk to us.

Can confirm, I fried an HP Omen Accelerator eGPU unit and the left port on my MBP. Luckily, HP repaired the eGPU and the warranty covered the MBP.
We're hiring! [0] At Verily we have a project that is doing exactly that called Debug [1] where we are initially focused on Aedes aegypti. We already have started deploying our mosquitoes out in the field.

Disclaimer: I'm a Software Engineer at Verily, though my main focus is on Baseline / Clinical Studies, however I helped build the website for Debug which was fun.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I like this a lot. I also believe that taking complete responsibility for all of the issues in your life (some call it extreme ownership) is better than the inverse. If everything is your fault then at least you can try to change it, but if nothing is your fault then you're hopeless.
In practice, all someone would have to do is post a few underage images to /r/gonewild or similar high-traffic subreddits. Or, for that matter, simply drop random links in unrelated subreddits.

SESTA is a weapon, not a defense. A metaphorical loose cannon.
This is a podcast, so I'll summarize what I remember:

1. They have IP blocks in China, Russia, and a satellite link through Lebanon. Since only .1% of the population has internet access, traffic shows what elites are doing.

2. They have criminal/espionage activity via a number of countries, even New Zealand. I don't remember if this is just VPN or physical presence, except they did mention sending people to India.

3. The normal web traffic from Pyongyang officials is fairly normal: news, media, Facebook, etc.

4. They don't consistently use secure options such as https, and even some Tor activity was misconfigured to use the same exit router.

5. Summaries of some of their exploits, like Swift, Wannacry, Sony, and bitcoin transfers therefrom.

6. There wasn't any obvious activity linked to nuke or missile tests, either before or after.
Right.
Even so, don't you see problem in that too?

$100 billion buyback? I thought cash repatriation was supposed to lead to an explosion of onshore investment.
> But I have yet to find any lasting appeal to the "low-end" VR experiences. It really gives a poor impression of what the tech is capable of and walk away with a "gimmicky" feeling.

I'd argue that even "high-end" VR leaves many with a bad impression walking away with a "gimmicky" feeling. The Rift continues to be the worst technology investment I've made, no amount of personal enthusiasm for the concept makes up for the fact many people get motion sick on these things eventually. Feeling sick for "fun" in my free time is not up there with my favorite leisure activities.

Outside of a handful of impressive tech demos (RoboRecall etc), the vast majority of the content on the Rift is equally low rent too.

Okay, so I just picked one of these up and tried it out for half an hour or so. It is nothing less than a game changer. The screen quality is phenomenal, it's super comfortable, and it Just Works (TM). I have a Rift and PSVR and previously had both Rift DKs; this will get infinitely more use. Being untethered means I can sit on my couch, lay in bed, or sit on a plane and experience great VR.

My wife tried it for 10 minutes and already wants one of her own. This thing is priced to sell and just a great piece of tech. Can't wait to start developing for it!
USB C PD is a negotiated protocol, the controlling chipset is not supposed to set VBUS to above 5V unless the sink explicitly asks for it. Unlike what people are saying here, it's not a matter of a simple component shorting out, the USB C controller must have a firmware error for this.

That's the theory. In practice, really, wtf is going on there, I have thought laptops didn't implement USB PD as a power source at all?? Why would the VBUS of different ports be connected together?
It's a California state law issue and this is a decision of the California Supreme Court upholding the decision of the Court of Appeals, which had upheld the Superior Court. This has already survived the whole chain of appeals.

So you're saying it can't possibly raise any (US) constitutional questions?

As an example, consider what happens when one of the affected contractors is in another state. That makes it a Commerce Clause issue. You can wave your hands and sputter indignantly all you want, but Wickard and Filburn are going to wave right back at you.
But Signal was doing all of this without Amazon's consent. I don't care how noble you think your cause is, dragging other people into your fight against their will is wrong, full stop.
Maybe Amazon HQ2 will revitalize somewhere new, but it seems like some of the areas still on the list have pretty horrendous traffic problems now.
> all companies trying to make it as cheap and as simple as possible to censor anything every government dislikes

Not sure what you mean, I didn't see Napster fighting for censorship nor Craigslist fighting for FOSTA.
For Android, I use skvalex call recorder. It costs $10, which is "relatively" expensive for Android apps, but it's worth it. I bought it years ago and it has been recording my calls ever since. Other call recording apps were either spyware/adware traps or were just terrible.

For me, no other call recording app worked because of the hardware I had. Some phones make call recording easy and some make it nearly impossible. I hear that recent phones are much better than phones from two or more years ago.

Some of the features that make the skvalex app better than anything else I tried are automatic recording all the time, detailed recording meta info, automatic file encryption, automatic recording cleanup, and I find the UI design to be utility oriented, which is a good thing.

Note that previous versions of the app were removed from the Google Play Store because they used prohibited methods to record calls on devices that don't have official call recording APIs. The new app is labeled as a beta/test, but it's very stable.

Note that if your phone doesn't work with the app in the Google Play Store, you need to install the CallRecorderROOT apk module, which you can only get from the XDA forum post. You don't need the CallRecorderROOT apk if your phone works with the standard API, which many do these days.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643

Finally, using this app has paid off immensely. There are a couple of particular vendors I work with (Notably Cisco Systems) that have fking awful support, and I've dug out recordings of their terrible phone support calls and put it in front of our reps in group meetings. Being able to put the embarrassing behavior of their support reps in front of them gets an immediate attitude adjustment, and in my case, our support tier was bumped up to top-tier status and I've never had a problematic call since. Yes, depending on how much you pay or how big a customer you are determines which group of phone droids your call gets routed to.

Because they are the bad guy.
As you note, private companies are typically free to do as they please in free countries...that's kinda the point. You have no right to use AWS, so this is not censorship in the legal sense. And free governments also tend to have strong laws respecting the sovereignty of other nations, whether or not their laws are similar. Your frustration is noble, but it's also internally inconsistent.
Reposting a slightly reworded comment I wrote about Seattle that I think is relevant here too:

One thing I never see come up in these discussions is the overall increasing wealth disparity in the US.

In most of these discussions there is an unspoken moral belief that people have some level of "rights" about where they live. Most agree everyone doesn't have a moral right to their own sprawling mansion on the coast. And most agree that it's not right if someone working 40 hours a week can't afford a home anywhere in the United States.

But, between those two extremes is a continuum. My belief is that most of us grew up in a culture that placed the "right" point on that continuum somewhere between the city and neighborhood level of scale. You have the right to live in the city of your choosing, regardless of your income level. But you don't have the right to any neighborhood of your choosing. If you want to live in the most desireable street, then it's fair for you to have to pay for the luxury.

I think that's been a stable cultural point for a lot of cities in the US for many decades. New York is a good example of a city that supported people from the righest elites down to poverty-level working class.

But economic disparity has gotten so bad now that the affordability point on the continuum no longer aligns with our moral point. If you are working class, there are cities where the entire commutable region surrounding it is outside of your price point. San Francisco is one, Seattle is well on its way, LA might be.

I think much of the anger we feel comes from those two points being out of alignment. We feel that people should be able to live in the metro area of their choosing, but the economic reality is that for some cities now, they can't.

I don't think any small-scale solutions like affordable housing is going to fix this. In a country where the rich keep getting richer, the poor keep getting poorer, and the rich want to live near each other, the emergent property is large economically homogenous zones that only a few can afford to enter.
Gear does have a head model, you can tell really easily in pretty much every Gear/Go game by looking at parallax differences between near and far objects.
laws often describes the effect it ought to have, but don't mention how!
That's very arguable, but let's assume you're right. You're saying you'd be okay with all of those things if they were specified in the Constitution?
I thought scientists agreed that wasn't true for the mosquitoes that bite us.
Why should Amazon be dragged into Signal's fight without their consent?
Videos like that and personal experience with MBP's since 2009 have seen my wallet go elsewhere.
> They're spoofing identity

This doesn't seem quite accurate to me. They are not making an assertion that they ARE Amazon or Cloudfront. They are avoiding making an assertion that they are anybody, by using a shared facility. It's a bit like using a public payphone to avoid being identified. When you use a public payphone, presumably the call originates from a line owned by the phone company, but nobody accuses you of attempting to impersonate the telephone company by doing that.

This may still be a violation of the TOS, but people should be clear about the actual intent of what is being done.
Salt ponds being turned into natural wetland is a HUGE win for the environment, particularly water quality and fisheries. Being entirely mud, they are literally the worst place to build in an earthquake-prone region.

"Affordability" just means a balance between jobs (which produce people needing housing) and the supply of houses. There are TWO ways of fixing supply and demand problems like that. It is insane that the city of Cupertino has allowed the construction of offices for 26K jobs but only has housing for 58K people. It is insane that Mountain View has allowed the construction of offices for 30K jobs but only provided places for 77K people to live. Those two cities and others collect all the sweet revenue and burden the rest of the Bay Area with costs of housing and commuting.

Rather than insisting that cities must build housing, we should insist they balance jobs and homes. I'm angry that my home town, Fremont, had a plan to reserve space for both homes and jobs, but is forced by the state to accept home construction and we have no money to build the schools needed to accommodate the new population.

It's not really about tech companies, although the tech companies don't help. Contemporary conversation about Bay Area housing always makes it sound like some impossible dream that is hampered by hordes of techies. It seems to me that most of those concerns are red herrings; it's actually about zoning, local opposition, and government incompetence. The other HN comment ITT summarizes it pretty well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16970532
No, we aren't quite the target market yet, but I can see the ground is being prepared for when we might be.

> Eventually the only people left in the Bay Area will be executives and really high-paid lawyers

Yesterday's headline: "Alphabet median pay close to $200k"
https://www.investopedia.com/news/googles-alphabet-median-pa...

Those are not all executives and high-paid lawyers.

One of the biggest reasons why a 1300 sq.ft. house in Sunnyvale now sells for $2M is because a lot of engineers are perfectly capable of paying for it.

In my tract, 5 houses out of 35 have changed owners in the past years (it's a neighborhood with lots of first owners who are now in their eighties). I've talked to all the newcomers.

Without exception, they are dual income engineering families who work for Google, Facebook, Apple and some other tech giants.

That's $400k income per year and plenty to cover a $1.725M 30 year 4.1% mortgage payment of $8500 per month.
You have a source for that stat I would be interested in learning more about how the calculate such a stat.

If you show up with a deliverable , can go on vacation without clearing it with anyone, and are actually your own boss... Well that's different of course

It was different, but my point is that the 'B' clause ("Service is outside the business' normal variety", whatever that means) can be interpreted to remove this distinction.

A lot of people are cheering for this bullshit without thinking it all the way through.
Well, I mean when you write a book and explicitly say that you believe your company needs to take an active role in guiding global human culture, does it really make it a 'conspiracy'? His viewpoint is not as radical as some people might take it to be. Up until the American Revolution, basically every society operated under the notion that some people are fundamentally 'better' than other people. Kings, queens, chieftans, whatever, were not simply people who were good at leading, they were all believed to be either chosen by or literally a god. It was seen as natural and proper that those people would lead, and that other people were born to follow.

To accomplish great things, it was believed, those leaders have to take the reigns and direct the commoners or else they would tear themselves apart in anarchy. A great many of the upper class still believe this to be the situation (which is partially psychological self defense, believing that they were simply lucky would lead to many feeling very bad about having so much more than almost everyone else). While something like YouTube becoming a way for tons of people to make a decent living, and that becoming the dominant means through which media is created and consumed, as opposed to centralization of media production and consumption under a handful of more directly controlled companies sounds like a renaissance to most people, to them it sounds like outrageous stupidity. It sounds like letting the rats chew through one of the pillars holding our society aloft.
Companies usually play that disclaimer via robot.

Does the law say I have to give notice when I think there's an actual human on the other end, or can I give notice when the robot pauses? The robot isn't verifying that there's an actual human on my end.
Are you willing to hire interns?
That'd be gutsy, but suing wouldn't have a chance unless he had promises in writing, which I doubt.
First of all, that is probably a myth[0].

And second, if we're talking about present day, malaria is way behind heart disease (largely caused by sugary foods). And in developed nations, its way behind automobiles. And in the USA, it's way behind opioids. So my comment wasn't totally off.
