He's not being clear about what he's talking about and mish-mashing stuff from Bayesian decision theory (https://www.reddit.com/r/DecisionTheory/). The calculation he seems to be trying to do there is 'Expected Value of Perfect Information' (EVPI): the value of omniscience. Which is an upper bound, not an exact amount. He also is unclear about the choice being involved (is he choosing between buying a camera and not buying a camera, or buying camera A versus buying camera B? If camera A fails, why expect camera B to succeed? Couldn't they both fail?)

If you interpret it as buying a camera or not buying a camera, a 20% risk of the camera being useless, then the EVPI is 20% * $2000 = $200: you would be willing to pay up to $200 for certainty about whether the camera would be good or not. The EVPI serves as an upper bound on more realistic Value of Information quantities like Expected Value of Sample Information (EVSI; the value from a reduction of posterior uncertainty by a sample of data eg a small survey). If, for example, there were some piece of information you could buy for <$100 which reduced the risk to 10%, you would want to buy it; if you could do that by doing research for <4 hours and you value your time at $25, then it would be profitable to do that research. Similarly, if you could somehow reach certainty, you would need to do so at under 16 hours (not exactly 16 hours!)

#2 is also wrong because it ignores discounting/opportunity cost (imagine the integration cost could be $499,999 instead). #3 can't be answered because it omits the side-effects and magnitude of the gain, which affect both the net benefit and EVSI (smaller differences are less profitable and harder to detect) and 95% 'confidence' does not mean 95% probability the drug is better, which is the fallacy of inverting the p-value. (For a good paper on how you'd actually do drug approval in an decision-theoretic way, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2641547 ) Not to mention again discounting, and elasticity of demand to boot.
Joe was arguing that the restatement of the CH was incorrect, not that CH Has/hasn't been solved.

And on your point, Z=L is not a widely accepted axiom. Per wiki,

>Although the axiom of constructibility does resolve many set-theoretic questions, it is not typically accepted as an axiom for set theory in the same way as the ZFC axioms.
It’s not like believing in peoples’ liberties makes you a communist. And Stalin wasn’t a communist. Dictatorial regimes are dictatorial regimes regardless of propaganda. Further, afaik, the worlds never known a good example of a communist government. But the democratic republican model has had some decent examples - though not perfect.
> What you're saying is pretty much the result of my biggest gripe with Kubernetes, though it's one I don't have a lot of ideas of how to fix; there's too much damn boilerplate. 1000 lines of YAML to store maybe 100 relevant lines.

I think that's more a helm issue than a k8s issue. I've been using helm in production for over a year and k8s for almost three years. Prior to adopting helm we rolled our own yaml templates and had scripts to update them with deploy-time values. We wanted to get on the "standard k8s package manager" train so we moved everything to helm. As a template engine it's just fine: takes values and sticks them in the right places, which is obv not rocket science. The issues come from its attempt to be a "package manager" and provide stable charts that you can just download and install and hey presto you have a thing. As a contributor to the stable chart repo I get the idea, but in practice what you end up doing is replacing a simple declarative config with tons of conditionally rendered yaml, plug-in snippets and really horrible naming, all of which is intended to provide an api to that original, fairly simple declarative config. Add to that the statefulness of tiller and having to adopt and manage a whole new abstraction in the form of "releases." At this point I'm longing to go back to a simpler system that just lets us manage our templates, and may try ksonnet at some point soon.
True. But it's a helpful messaging touch stone to get people into the intended headspace.

That said, I agree the branding is a big off.

All that said, Great project, OP. Keep up the good work.
Great. Hopefully this will force/cause them to reevaluate the butterfly keyboards and get back to a more sensible design.

Or if they really have to keep those (imo) awful keyboards, I feel like they could at least offer more clicky/soft/silent keyboards as an option.
Python 3.6 introduced type checking as an option, so you can hack something together in Python, then add types later.
"Suggesting"? It's pretty obvious to everyone with half a brain that "colic" is just a label applied (specifically in the English-speaking world) to a baby that keeps crying despite all obvious causes of distress being taken care of, and has nothing whatsoever to do with digestion. I mean, the official definition is based exclusively on the amount of crying and nothing else, how could it possibly be a diagnosis of an underlying cause?
I manage a team of roughly 10 devs and I have seen them one at a time get pissed off at their MB Pro and ask to switch to using a Linux machine. The keyboard is always the biggest complaint. I even made our company change its onboarding process to offer the option of buying a Windows laptop and installing some distro of Linux on it instead of just giving everyone a Mac (which they and the rest of Silicon Valley have been doing for years).

I bought my first Thinkpad when I checked out the new MB Pros when they came out in Fall of ‘16. I was so disgusted by the keyboard that I went home and bought my X1 Carbon and learned how to set up a Linux machine (surprisingly easy!)

Apple has really lost its way. They’re selling eye candy now, not work machines.
Very interesting. Please take note that this is not your usual transpiler such as MyHDL or Migen:

"Behind the scenes, Chips uses some novel techniques to generate compact and efficient logic - a hybrid of software and hardware.

Not only does the compiler translate the C code into CPU instructions, it also generates a customised pipelined RISC CPU on the fly. The CPU provides the optimal instruction set for any particular C program."

I'll test it out soon and post about it.
Interesting how the New York Times is following the Taboola-like structure of clickbaity headlines. Maybe it's where the money is after all.
I’ve worked as a developer on 2 major managed k8s providers. Using k8s is easy but operating it is not. The biggest reason is that every cloud provider is using different underlying technologies to deploy k8s clusters. See for example all the different kinds of ingress controllers.
The best tools work at multiple levels and operator skills. Imagine a tool that can do everything from pound in a nail to launch a spacecraft. In an ideal situation, a carpenter can grab it and pound some nails and a rocket scientist can launch a Mars mission with it.

In the worst case, the tool forces you to learn how to launch spacecraft before you can pound nails.

In my limited experience (having twice now made attempts to get up to speed and actually accomplish something with K8s) it felt an awful lot like learning rocketry to pound nails. I may have had an entirely different experience if I had come looking to do a moon shot.
At least the keyboard is not bolted and glued into place and requires a ~2 hour surgery to replace.
It wasn't a serious comment.
Yeah, this is basically the next step after you notice the "dust" issue. Once debris is down there, it's constantly seesawing and stretching the C-clamps, if I were to guess.

My A, D, R, and T keys will fall right off if I turn over my macbook.

I've been abroad for the four months I've had my macbook pro and haven't had the opportunity to at least take it in for fixing. It gets worse every week. From now on, I'm sticking to buying older macbook hardware now instead of just iPhones.

Setting up a live streaming site is easy, we did whitelabel sites for Camarades.com a long time ago. The hard part is - just like with chatroulette clones - to keep it clean (if that's your objective). If you don't keep a very good eye out you'll be running a fetish porn site in an eyeblink, and possibly an illegal one at that.
Ask HN: Should I share my new open source project on GitHub or GitLab?
I've got no idea why the new macbook is the way it is. Apple really missed a sweet opportunity to move the mac and iphone over to usb-c at the same time. They could have easily added two usb-c ports while keeping a usb-a port and the SD card reader. At the same time, they could have moved the iphone to usb-c and converge a lot of their designs into something clean and easy. I'm typing this on an xps-13 while charging both my phone and laptop over usb-c with the same charger and cable.

Instead, apple now has multiple incompatible cables and devices. Not only has the rest of the industry caught up to them, apple has regressed in the meantime.
No.

First of all, they would need an absurdly large directional antenna to even receive GPS satellites. GPS signals are already below the noise floor on Earth's surface, and we use mathematical trickery to extract them from the background. Secondly, even that would only be possible when Earth's over the horizon at the location of the probe. Thirdly, the whole span of GPS satellites as viewed from Mars would be a small fraction of arc second, i.e. basically all coming from the one place. Lastly, there's extra light lag that you have to compensate for, that depends on relative position and orientation of Earth and Mars.

No, GPS is not suited for use in space, especially not far away from Earth. However, I read once that some Earth orbit missions did in fact look / make use of the GPS signals, as in (low) Earth orbit, they're actually easier to receive than on the ground.

Like Stephen King himself said, the experiment did not have enough time to reach maturity. I don't think it's contradictory to suggest that reputation is a component of merit. Most people do not succeed, yet those who do have a habit of succeeding over and over again. And so when you view something with an unknown track record it's expected value is going to be much lower than something from an author with a track record of dozens of successes.

In today's era where reviews and award often consider many factors besides just the book quality alone, they've become quite useless. So how are people supposed to find new books? You end up going from a handful of reviewers who tend to like the material you like, or by going to the same author over and over. In either case, it takes new entrants some significant amount of time to reach their full potential. I don't think this inherently means the market is broken.

> round-off errors regarding the timing would make all satellites appear at the same point in space when looked at from Mars

Not just timing, also space - Earth is a fraction of an arc second on Martian sky, pretty much a very small dot. All your signals would be coming from that small dot, i.e. practically on top of one another.
I got a $2 can of compressed air and it helped my keyboard a lot - posting in case it helps some other hackers
Ask HN: Did I catch a cold from eating unwashed fruit?
Recently I caught a cold in presumably an amazingly short period of time (~6h). From prior infections I had the experience to have 24 to 48 hours "left" being a bit ill, before being forced to stay in bed. Observing my disease I asked myself what went different this time. In general I don't get ill too easy.

Morning: got to work as usual feeling reasonably well
12pm: ate some sushi bought from a supermarket
~3 pm: ate a bowl of strawberries - unwashed
6pm: already felt a scratchy throat
9pm: having a Skype call planning some event, starting to have a headache
11pm: falling to bed really exhausted
I did not have contact with visibly ill people during that day.

My theory now is, that the unwashed strawberries carried the pathogen. Here are some thoughts that might support this:

1. Since I got hit so fast I'm assuming being exposed to a high number of bacteria.

2. The pathogens where possibly passed by an ill harvester.

3. Strawberries being sweet, moist and un-chilled seem to be the perfect fertile ground for reproduction.

4. The incubation period of colds is usually a lot longer (2-5 days). Does a higher number of bacteria result in a shorter incubation period?

5. Washing the strawberries would have helped. The bacteria was just on the surface area, since the vessels of the strawberries of course where not alive anymore.

Am I right with my assumptions or did I miss something? I'd like you to confirm or debunk my theory of getting ill.

Thank you!
Or find someone to train you. The Kubernetes stack is deep. There's no shame in being taught this stuff. Nobody is born already knowing all the nuances.

As an OpenShift consultant for Red Hat, in a single day, I've run a tcpdump trace to figure out why a particular NFS vendor had trouble with traffic over a new network vlan, then, spent an hour or two with a Dev in ChromeDevTools to help them get session management cookies straightened out. Some people call that a day spent as a "Full Stack Engineer", I call that Tuesday. And I can't tell you how many obscure corner case scenarios I've found bugs in Kubernetes, OpenShift or a client's App.
"Handpicked by AI..."

I'd never heard the term WEIRD people, who are from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic countries. Interesting.
> I’m of the impression that the wealth difference between the western world and the rest of the world is primarily a biproduct of the industrial revolution

You cannot separate the effects of the Industrial Revolution on Europe from their imperialist practices.

The Industrial Revolution was principally fueled by resource extraction, labor extraction and genocide committed in the colonies.

> and of course European colonialism also drove industrialization in its colonies.

This is literally a standard white supremacist talking point. So I'm not really going to engage with it further, other than to point that out, and to mention that "trickle down" industrialization of the colonies doesn't justify the massive exploitation that European colonialism hinged on.
>what's remaining is somehow by the choice of the participants

It’s a shame that this is a widely accepted explanation for the segregated neighborhoods we live in today. There were proactive policies — some promoted by the federal government — that made it this way.

Being design-forward is fine, but Apple fell completely into the trap of "function follows form". The in retrospect aptly-shaped "trashcan" Mac Pro was probably the ultimate expression of this. But at this point they're not a computer company, so the products need to be viewed in this light. They've decided to be a luxury brand, in which form is in fact more important than function, and the correctness of this decision is shown by their financials. But when you buy a Macbook Pro, you have to be aware that you're essentially buying a Louis Vuitton, or - dare I say it? - Burberry laptop. It's meant to be seen, not used.

You should start with a managed solution and see if it makes sense to write/move your code in k8s. If it does, awesome, keep using the managed solution. Roll your own only when you see your traffic/load increasing your costs to prohibitive levels or if you want to do something very unique.
That is a poor reason for such a glaring hole. Your argument is okay for how easy it is to steal from a mailbox.

Do y'all just work on laptops, or do you usually plug in the laptop to an external monitor/keyboard/screen, then use the laptop solely when in meetings/away from your desk?

I couldn't imagine using the new Macbook's keyboard full-time - I've broken the keys (in half) on the 2015 Macbook repeatedly just by typing. For now - and this seems to be the feeling around me, better to use an external keyboard for most of the time.

I personally cannot even touchtype of the 15" keyboard on the new Macbooks, as it differs ever so slightly, but too much from my 13" at home. I'm already mentally-mapping out four other keyboards I work on. I may not be able to do a fifth!
Fair enough (though i was referring to the blog author, not the tweet author, but could see how that could be confusing given the nested references)

The tweet author seemed sincere in their desire to answer that question, whereas the blog author seemed to be quoting it ironically (eg, he felt there are no ways to express k8s values in a tweet)
Interesting but please add the 2013 tag. I wonder what happened of this theory?
After three years of running it in production I don't really have any horror stories, but we have definitely run into odd and puzzling things. For example, when we were experimenting with auto-scaling node-pools on GKE, and the cluster would scale a node-pool up then fail to scale it back down due to the fact that there are daemonsets on every node of a GKE cluster, and this left it in a state where it flopped back and forth between two nodes every ten minutes, evicting the entire workload, trying to delete the node, failing, and resetting.

Thing is, we have also run into really bad things in our puppeted infrastructure that we run on vms and manage with terraform. Like the time I accidentally ran a command in the wrong folder and deleted 120 vms :). Well maybe that was just me and a deficiency of our tooling, but anyway one thing is for sure: k8s makes it far easier to recover from situations that arise, once you understand what the problem is and update the cluster with the right state, the controllers will set things right.

>There is no box to check on the ballot for "I'm really sure, so count my vote twice!"

Besides what sibling comments said:

But there is the option of not voting/voting implausible 3rd candidate because screw the main 2.

So theoretically you could have non-influenced reps staying at home, because they dislike both candidates.

Or have influenced dems vote Bernie (or don't vote) because Hillary just isn't good enough, when without influence they'd have pinched their nose and voted Hillary.

Or if you don't insist on it being about who wins, you could imagine it about the loosing side being so riled up, that they hinder the winner and turn the winner into a lame-duck president.
Thank god I bought the 2015. Not sure how long to hold out to buy a laptop for my wife. She's a graphics artist and is really really really tired of using Windows.
XPS 13 is a joke too. Stock Killer WiFi card caused tons of intermittent issues from hibernation wake up fails to browsing issues. Opened up the laptop and swapped out the card with an Intel WiFi card and now it works great. Why bother buying a "premium" laptop if they use crappy parts under the hood?
Sounds weird, because we're used to media spam. But "drone" wrt. flying machines basically has 3 popular meanings - RC multicopters, any RC aircraft, and those big RC aircrafts with surveillance cameras and Hellfire missiles. Back because multicopter mania caused all RC aircraft to be rebranded as "drones", we used to call them by category - RC plane, RC helicopter, etc. So personally, I'm totally fine with NASA using the word "helicopter" - though I expect the name that's even more cool than "drone" - an UAV.
I returned a new MacBook to go back to my old one until Apple fixes this.

Purchasing a can of air is ridiculous - it's not 1995. We might as well buy some rubbing alcohol to clean out the inside of the mouse balls while we're at it.

The poor keyboard experience even inspired me to try a new Surface Pro. Ironic, because it was Vista that drove me to a Mac. If the Surface reliably ran MacOS with updates... I may have found my perfect device.

As much as I have enjoyed every Macbook I've owned, I can't recommend buying any Macbook for the foreseeable future.

A keyboard guaranteed to have issues is unacceptable at this price point, or any really.

Apparently, Apple filed a new patent fixing the key/dust issue.

Will be checking the new refresh to see if any steps are made forward, but wait for the rattlesnake to bite the other fella first for a few months.
My work recently bought me a new laptop. I could have picked anything. I went with the now-3-years-old mbp, with sane ports. The fact they still sell them new probably means there are a lot of people who think like me.

If I’d purchased a new model, I would’ve also needed to purchase a fistful of dongles. It makes no sense.

And I would have had to use the awful keyboard. I don’t like the feel of it, but I can deal with that. What I can’t deal with is the keys randomly failing due to minor dirt, as so many reports indicate. I travel for work and it would be a catastrophe if the space key stopped working.

I also really wish they would add a lightning port to the mbp, so I could take just one set of headphones with me.
