My problem with you isn’t that you want to fund long term interests, my problem with you is that you want to force me to fund your idea of long term interests with your preferred long term fund (i.e. whatever our moronic legislators can cook up).

It’s not about the goals, it’s about the coercion.
Any implementation details? I would absolutely like my nodes distributed not just across different machines but also different racks. This will be key to having k8s reliability. Especially for the master nodes and wherever I've etcd running.

If my k8s goes down then it needs to be because the entire datacenter is down not a machine or a rack.

Just wanna give a quick +1 to this request. The lack of proper 2FA is one of my complaints as well.

Authy OneTouch pushes you towards some fairly strong platform and vendor lock-in, which I always try to avoid.
Your argument makes no sense.

It's like garbage collection, it's just something the government provides as a service to all citizens.

Whether it's regressive or progressive entirely depends on the tax used to pay for it. If everyone has to pay exactly the same, it's regressive, as poor people are impacted much more than rich people. If it's a proportion of income, it's progressive.

In the UK our national insurance, which pays for our universal healthcare, social welfare and pensions, is actually a regressive tax, it's 12% on the first £46k you earn, then 2% after that (something like your first £6k is actually tax free). I don't know why people don't make a bigger deal out of this given that the NHS is suffering at the moment.
And my understanding is that companies have considerable latitude in designating whether a particular activity is "R&D" or not.

R&D expenditures don't seem like a metric that can be precisely compared across companies, or even reliably connected to future business success. It's not like companies that report the highest R&D spending are always the ones winning.

Using a web browser as an IDE just seems like a solution in search of a problem. Also, maybe I just never spent enough time working with Jupyter, but it seemed to me that it encourages a sort of exploratory workflow, really well suited to teaching programming and data science. It was less clear to me how it could be used well in production environments.

I use Rmarkdown and Sweave to write homeworks for my students in a very Jupyter way. I also use them to generate data driven static webpages, procedurally generate production quality and easily formatted PDF and HTML reports. I also use them as a templating system for auto-generated model diagnostic emails. Perhaps I need to return to Jupyter to see what I'm missing, but I don't really know what purpose it would serve, or what kind of work it would make easier.
The whole GDPR is an interesting phenomenon. Where I live we had this

https://www.cnil.fr/fr/loi-78-17-du-6-janvier-1978-modifiee

since 1978 and I didn't see anybody on HN panicking at the thought of doing business with french citizens, although these laws are tougher than GDPR. Remember than the latter is enforced at the country level, it's not Europe who is going to fine your business. Which means maybe Czechia will let you fly with whatever you are doing with personal data, and maybe Spain won't because they have tougher user data protection laws. My point is GDPR didn't create a new legal risk that wasn't there before. It's just that people here didn't care before for some reasons.

Now I see all these "GRPR compliant"(whatever that means) seals on different products, but where they even "CNIL compliant" before? Is that framework "CNIL compliant"? How many of you did a declaration to the CNIL before harvesting data from french citizens?
Can you talk about what this means? Is it just a SAAS offering with SSO? Or will it do binderhub type functions?

Thanks!

Reddit is known for having an appalling search function.

When I see "Reddit-style search...", I immediately think of search that doesn't work.
I did a few internships in college with the State Department, in an agency similar to the one mentioned in the article. You describe it very accurately, and summarize my primary reason for not returning full-time after I graduated.
In my opinion, the clearance process selects for three things:
1) those who are extremely rule-abiding -- often, as you describe, the "goody-two-shoes" from school. For example, most of these people have never touched drugs (since the clearance process involves polygraphs on drug use, as well as constant drug checks), and they often have strong disdain for those who have. These are not qualities I think one should have when they are dealing with diverse types of people and organizations. Someone in this position should have knowledge and nuance when it comes to drugs, even if they personally have never used them. Also, they definitely select for people who are exactly the "tattle tales" you allude to. I won't get into the details of the sort of questions they ask that select for such things, but I'm sure you can use your imagination.
2) People who are not receiving offers elsewhere in industry. The clearance process takes forever, sometimes can be up to three years to get a clearance. For college students, they would "expedite" it to take 6 months, but regardless -- most people with any marketable skills get snatched up by a better-paying, faster moving organization.
3) Most importantly, I think it selects for the type of egotistical person you are describing. Many of the people I encountered during my time there were very macho, patronizing types, who think they've "seen it all". To be sure, some of them have been through a lot of difficult things, and I don't mean to downplay the things they've seen. But there are probably a good number who haven't, and just like to act as though they're really tough. My theory on this is that people with smaller egos get more nervous during the polygraph process and are thus more likely to fail (since nerves are often the reason people appear to be lying, due to fast heart-rate, twitches, etc).

First off, the VA isn't as bad as you're making it out to be.

https://www.rand.org/news/press/2016/07/18.html

"Quality of Care in VA Health System Compares Well to Other Health Settings"

A lot of the bad press around it's deficiencies are because it, as a public institution, publishes a lot of information that the private healthcare system isn't required to publish.

And yes, having been from Newt Gingrich's district, and seeing the failed 1994 HEART act, that ended up being turned into Romneycare, and then morphed into the ACA (in order to steal the Republican's thunder in 2012), yes I do blame the right wing for the current state of healthcare.

How to install Windows 10 April 2018 Update
Isn’t this part of being a member of a society? Sometimes laws and goals of society don’t align with yours. So advocate for your goals and participate in society.

Sometimes one decides to leave the country because the misalignment of goals becomes intolerable. But there is no substitute for a properly functioning government. At least not at our current level of our collective psychology.
A different option I'd suggest that will likely provide higher engagement/response rate is putting some kind of a 1-to-5 star or 1-to-10 ranking - something quick for the user to click (or ignore) - simply asking them "How interested or excited are you about this product?"

Re: Incentive to share it - Just build a good to amazing product - which the comments and upvotes you have on HN are already significant proof of - and you'll get higher adoption in the long run with exponential growth, without adding friction of little tricks like this which will be relatively inconsequential in the long run, other than perhaps causing friction with early adopters who will get turned off by them.

"It is morally wrong that someone can die from X because they're poor" is a fine point to make. There's nothing wrong with moralizing in that sense, IMHO.

The problem is when you add "And therefore the presence of profit making entities must be the cause". That inserts a moral argument as a substitute for identifying the core problem. I think that's the kind of error you're making here:

>Other countries manage to have universal healthcare and it doesn't break the bank. In fact, they spend less per person.

True, but there are differences other than the universal coverage. The same things that lead, in the US, to bureaucratic bloat and 700% markups on saline, may very well also torpedo those systems!

I think it's a reasonable point for the parent to criticize the kind of moralizing that doesn't attempt a legitimate root cause of why health care spending is so ineffective in the US.
I don't see where it literally says that?

>On what planet would the special interest groups responsible for setting reimbursements make it less than the cost of delivery?

Take a guess what Medicaid pays for a labor epidural for a pregnant mother, which involves putting a very large needle next to a woman's spinal cord, with possible complications of paralysis, death, headache, back pain, infection, failure of epidural, etc?

If you run a hospital where 100% of patients are on Medicaid, the hospital will shut down immediately.

Medicaid simply pays less than the cost of delivery, and it does so because government knows it can get away with it. The government can impose its will with regulation and certification.

You have no idea how ridiculously underpaying Medicaid is. Can you imagine what would happen if government mandated that Facebook employees could only be paid a maximum of 10/hour?
Thanks for the heads up! I'll try to fix it now :D

Interestingly enough, at least around here, UPS is also the best delivery company. Decent prices, can get daily pickups, delivers on time, drives a company truck.

Half the time with FedEx you have no idea why a random truck is stopping to drop off a package. We also at my office always have to call them to do any pickup, the UPS guy just grabs outgoing when it delivers the incoming.
For most managers, one level of indirection higher.

"Is X possible?", "I like it, but are there any other possibilities?", "That sounds fun, but have we looked to see if there are any available tools that we could leverage", etc.

These are all the types of questions you'd expect a clueful manager to ask the people under him, but they actually work pretty well to guide a superior who thinks they have an answer, but you know it to be the wrong answer. They have to arrive at the new answer themselves, and implying that there is a better answer (such as 'did you know that a tool exists and does all the stuff you are planning') will cause them to be defensive. Let them work their way to the solution themselves, though, and they'll sing its praises for you.

He has theories about how policing should be done, and unlike most people with theories about how policing should be done, he is actually working as a police officer to see how things are in real life. And he's reporting back to the rest of us about it.

No offense to your sailing club experience, but I don't think you're in much of a position to judge him. Not that you have to follow him on Twitter, of course...
My understanding is that the regulation of phone services in the US is fairly prescriptive and it would be a violation of FTC rules for a phone company to just go ahead and cancel accounts without legal authorization. Or to proactively screen your calls and not deliver the ones the phone company thinks are spammy. Though presumably the phone company could also tell your phone "Hey, we think this is spam" and let you know before you decide to answer.
I was not clear. The link is ok, travis is ok, the code in my commit is wrong :).
Economists generally follow the idea that all trade is barter trade and that money is just an indirection layered on top the “real” economy, which alleviates some of the issues with bartering goods.

That’s all fine, but historians and anthropologists have found zero edvidence that the monetary system developed out of barter.

Rather, banking seems to have co-evolved alongside interpersonal informal credit systems (contract based, not spot-trade) and religious practices in early agricultural city states. The first written records are bookkeeping documents of grain supplies and outstanding debts between citizens. In time, people started trading these documents against each other.

E.g. If you need to pay Garry for fixing your plumbing, but Sally still needs to pay you for the 8 eggs she borrowed, you can just tell her to pay it to Garry instead and you’l be even.

What coins are in this model are abstract tokens representing the ledgers inside the third party’s accounting table which denote the debts and credits people hold against eachother. In other words, it’s all about accounting. Economics courses do not include accounting, generally.

The real issue economists fail to “get” it is that it invalidates many of the axioms on which they construct their theory. Economics is still very much a deductive science. Because there is such a large hivemind around these fundamental founding myths the field has been able to get by with simply ignoring outside criticisms, this includes a number of “own goals”.

If you have some econ 101 knowledge you might want to look up the “anything goes” theorem. Many nobel prizes can be thrown out of the window.

I found Steve Keen’s “Debunking Economics” and Phillip Mirowski’s “More Heat Than Light” to be very revealing.
I think the indexing needs some work. For the query "Kozai", Google, DDG, and Bing all return Wikipedia's page on the Kozai mechanism as either the top result or the second result.

Pretty excited about this, I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to hear back from Google after applying for the AutoML alpha but this looks even better, especially because it allows exporting the model which AutoML has not promised yet.

Also AFAIK AutoML alpha initially only supports vision tasks while this allows nearly any input type.

But that also means that if you could fix the cost bloat, it would be much easier to provide universal coverage, and that trying to do the latter before addressing the former is bound to fail.
I'm doing something similar with a Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

However the plan is, unlike here, to add support for real hardware. For example:

- reading real cartridges (already have a breakout board for this)
- supporting original controllers (already done, inc 4 way adapters)
- supporting the expansion port (no idea how, but shouldn't be *awful* to do).

The key to me is the support for original hardware while updating the machine to also support more modern things (like HDD, USB, Bluetooth, Wifi/ethernet, etc)
Cost. 1Gbps Ethernet Router, Switches, SerDes, Controller, everything is a magnitude cheaper then 10Base-T or NBase-T ( 2.5/5Gbps Ethernet)

Apart from some Prosumer and Business usage there just isn't enough market to scale this down to a cost competitive product. I think it may possibly remain as a niche.

I like this Weller document: https://www.astro.umd.edu/~harris/docs/WellerSoldering.pdf

This is aimed at people soldering through hole, not surface mount, components.

Really, it's not that hard. I'm clumsy, but I could solder pretty well. Buy an iron. Get hold of old scrap circuit boards and some cheap components and some solder. For beginners you'll want to try to get tin/lead solder with built in flux.

People will recommend some very expensive stations, and those are nice, but you don't really need them. Just get something for electronics work, and avoid the cheapest products.

Apply a tiny bit of solder to the hot tip, put the tip on the joint, apply the solder, remove the solder, remove the tip. You're heating the joint which heats the solder. You need to do this somewhat rapidly to avoid damaging the pads and overheating the solder.

When you buy a kit it'll come with wire. That wire is probably going to use PVC insulation. You'll need to practice soldering PVC wire. You can buy a whole reel for quite cheap. PVC insulation will "shrink back" when heated. Practice will help. (As will rubber sleeving to go over those joints. Here's one example of a product, but there are many: https://www.canford.co.uk/Products/39-420_HELLERMANN-SLEEVES...)
