I'm a heavy amazon user, and am disappointed that they haven't eliminated plastic from the packaging. They use those inflatable plastic balloons (which are still far better than styrofoam peanuts), and they inexplicably use plastic bubblewrap mailers.

On the news today they reported the tons of recyclable paper that nobody knows what to do with. It could be shredded and used for packaging instead of plastic.
I actually run 3 small bare metal clusters in production.

Maintain is basically just a `kubeadm upgrade` on all nodes + reboot (easily scriptable), after some updates get announced. OS Upgrades are done through container-linux-update-operator.

NAT is not a problem if you are below or equal to 50 nodes. Not sure if you run into problems if there are more nodes, thought.
Also BGP+metallb is quite good.

(P.S.: openstack uses NAT heavily as well. and IPVS for k8s should fix most problems if you are running into problems)
I just want to note that Capcom, another Japanese company, has managed to make Street Fighter an Esport starting with Ultra Street Fighter 4 in 2014 and continuing now with Street Fighter 5. They did this by having a qualifying circuit for their Capcom cup tournament at the end of the year which had a prize of $250k for 1st place. It's nowhere as big as the 3 you mentioned, but I think that's mostly due to size of the scene.

Note it says "anonymous", not "disposable".

> the whole point of a disposable e-mail address it's that you just can use it instantly and never reveal your real e-mail addresses to anyone

For you maybe. For others the point might be "never reveal my real e-mail address to the sites I give disposable addresses to, be able to keep receiving e-mails for some of them long-term and not having them publicly exposed to everyone that knows the address".
Better to use paper packaging. For food it can be waxed like in the olden days.
Might be totally wrong, but it's possible that MSVC++ programmers typically knowing 'C with classes' might come from the gaming world, as that's a fairly accurate description of some very popular game engines (Valve's Source engine[1] being the one I'm most familiar with, where e.g. std::string is unused in favor of char/wchar arrays).

Without something invasive like implanted trans-cranial electrodes or non-portable like fMRI, you're never going to get anything past unreliable

The time resolution of any existing fMRI implementation would be way to low for driving anythin mechanical reliably. The implanted electrodes though are being used already (lookup 'Obama handshake robot') and further researched. Very, very interesting stuff. Also depending on the implantation location one can theoretically get around the problem of EEG where people first have to learn to control the robot by randomly trying some thoughts to see what they do (because EEG just picks up everything): e.g. implant in the higher level motor action planning areas directly (well, if functional in the patient) is a better starting point.

It takes time to get used to. But it is sooo worth it - I don't need to ever move my hands off the keyboard. I still prefer standalone mouse (but I'm still gamer, so nothing can beat speed & accuracy of dedicated mouse for me), but even when I have plugged it in I sometimes use trackpoint to keep hands on the keyboard. In cramped places (bus, train) I work without problems, and I wonder how awkward would it be with using standard touchpad with laptop in your lap - too close to your stomach, so not much space for hands. Also I don't ever have problems with accidental touching of touchpad - it is simply disabled.

Problem is, there are not many notebooks with trackpoint :/

Btw I can't talk about newest models, but this thing does not change much.
The fact you got there in the end disproves your point. You'd expect any first attempt at a new language, let alone paradigm, to be less than perfect. You can't expect people to be experts before they've even studied a subject. But to argue that any one particular language damages beyond repair ones ability to learn another is simply elitest hyperbole.

I have a very similar story with an interesting twist. I knew exactly one person who got on a PIP by his manager and didn't get fired. Almost anyone who worked with this person including me felt that the PIP was justified because he was known to be an incompetent developer.

The PIP ended up because his manager left the company. He was assigned to a new manager who worked in a different location. So the manager-employee relationship became a remote-relationship for them. He played his cards very well with the new manager and got himself out of PIP.

Nonetheless, it took that guy's career years to recover. Everyone around except this new manager still saw him as incompetent. He is still paid as an entry-level engineer.
I once worked as a freelance graphic designer for a company that wanted to give away a car as the first prize in a raffle. All promo material needed to have huge amounts of fineprint, including that the winner - in order to get the car - would have to sign a contract, forcing him to leave the company's logo stickers on the car for two years, or pay a penalty of about 20% of the car's value.

Honest question: What will plastic bottles be replaced with that's more environmentally friendly? I can easily see plastic bags being replaced by jute bags, but the only alternative material for bottles that I know of is glass, which does not seem like a good alternative given its weight and fragility (and possibly energy use during production).
Vue has single file components so you can build your own components which I do.

If you want a more guided/RAD approach maybe emberjs is more what you want to be looking at.

What about those frameworks are you trying to capture? It's almost impossible to pin down exactly what about those different ecosystems it is that you're looking for.

Is it the inter-component messaging? Integration? IDE support?

Vue and Angular are not directly comprable, Vue only deals with the V in MVC (View), where as Angular offers solutions for everything. vue + vue-router + vuex (or something else) would be a better comparison.
This has happened many times in civilian aviation as well, many times with the pilots still inside but incapacitated.

I remember one famous story of a doctor in a beechcraft who passed out from hypoxia -- only to awaken hours later by the jarring of the airplane bouncing along in a cornfield. The plane's autopilot had kept the wings level until it ran out of gas. Then it slowly descended into a field.

What a story that guy had to tell! I wonder if he flew very much after that.

> there are loads of integer programs running all over the place that we'd love to solve significantly faster.

Some years ago I had a good background in optimization including integer programming and had some successes. But slowly I had to conclude that actually the world had decided that such optimization was just not worth the bother. So, I never saw "loads".

Once I talked to a guy, and we considered airline scheduling (I got started in that when I was Director of Operations Research at FedEx). His remark was that optimization was no good because the schedules it gave were "too tight". That's like a kid who likes chocolate cake saying that he doesn't want to eat any of his orange flavored birthday cake because it is too big. Having the optimization put, say, five minutes of slack at each stop in the schedule is the easiest thing in the subject.

Mostly people in business just do NOT want anything technical they don't understand. So, as soon as mention, say, Lagrangian relaxation, they want nothing to do with integer programming. Or if such a project flops, then they have a failure on their record. If the project is successful, maybe the integer programming guy is a threat.
I suspect that only single-use bottles are banned. The sturdier, reusable plastic bottles, with a deposit encouraging returns, should be the best option in terms of energy and material over its lifetime.
EmberJS strives to be a box with every tool you'll ever need -- it's what you should be comparing to Angular, if anything.

EmberJS's equivalent to Vue would be Glimmer[0], which theoretically can be used outside of Ember but might be hard, I've never tried it.

if (NULL == s)

Ouch.

I haven't seen a single case where this abomination actually helped catching the fearsome 'if (s = NULL)' typo. One needs to be a sloppy typist, not paying attention to what they write, not proof-reading the code before committing and ignoring compiler warnings for this disaster of a notation to be even remotely justified.

No, you'll need to look into "component libraries" to find those. For example for Vue:

Love the concept, but a few key points drove me away:

- Add Spotify login right at the front page so when I login I start listening to music right away, not a separate login page.

- I want to use you app to listen to music while doing something else, not paying attention to the web client. Can I do that? If so, make it clear enough on the front page and make a better explanation of what 'Arcade' means.
The solution is probably a two-part form where the winner can fill in their SSN and seal it in an envelope, then the contest operator would take that envelope and enclose it with the operator's part of the form, and mail it.

That way the contest operator need not ever see the winner's SSN.

The amusing thing is the apparent widespread assumption that contest operators are shady as f.

Doesn't support IPv6. Can't connect to IPv6-only mail servers.
Hmmm. I think it’s easy to fix that:

Suppose that there’s a function f, that can be written as an infinite sum (integral) of shifted Dirac impulses, but cannot be written in your representation as a sum of those “base functions”. Then simply add a new dimension to your representation that will correspond to f, so that f will be represented as 1 at this new dimension, and zero everywhere else. (In other words: add f to the base functions)

Repeat until you have covered every function.

IBM. Twenty years ago my late father-in-law had his ancient DisplayWriter (1st-gen word processor) break down.

He called his local sales office. Somebody said, we've got a couple in a storeroom someplace. I'll bring one over. No charge.

That was customer service. That's how they built their reputation. Now they seem to be squandering it.

Sounds like they're headed now in a direction where they sell their artificial intelligence as being smarter than their customers. Sounds like they insist on disrupting their customers rather than their competitors. That Doesn't Work.(TM).

Every time somebody does that to a hospital it gets harder for other vendors to sell actually-useful stuff to health care operations. Not good.

You really mean that eventually smart contracts can be reliable, no bugs, etc? I've seen procurement sign contracts with various unclear wordings in them. I've seen vendors wrongly apply contracts in their rates. It's quite common to have errors in real world contracts. I fail to see how a smart contract would work especially as it's even more complicated.

>the Commerce Clause, which was extremely broadly written.

Not really, however in Wickard the Supreme Court simply ignored the entire words written, any context, and any rational thought processes around the words written to come up with a massive expansion of federal power that basic renders the enumeration clause pointless, and granting the federal government almost unlimited authority over everything

No, we don't. Constraining cash flow during a recession is the worst possible way to react to a recession in fact. That's when stimulus is required in order to make up the anemic demand coming from the private sector (e.g. how China reacted to 2008, where they fared better than the rest of us thanks to counter-cyclical fiscal spending).

Deficit spending only really needs to be constrained when inflation is around 9% (~11% is the point at which inflation has a negative impact on growth).
Old workers stay around until all the connections for them or their grace period has expired. So i hope you're not too close to the resource limit to handle many generations of workers sticking around. also if you have many services behind a single port with path based routing and do a deploy the connection will stick around on the old workers until everything dies.

This. I am using LastPass for example, because it is probably only password manager, where you can completely disable auto-fill (you need to click on an input field and then pick a profile - so it is "on demand" fill) which makes automatic harvesting attacks much harder.

I'm trying to get a job in New Zealand right now. In 2012 I was there on Working Holiday, and did a summer job writing control systems code for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare in Auckland.

By 2014 I'd visited a few more countries and shortlisted destinations: New Zealand (Skilled Migrant Category), Canada (Express Entry), or Australia (subclass 186).

Now I'm trying to apply, but most listings on Seek require already having the "right to live and work in this location". I need the job to get the work visa.

I sent many applications, without success. I updated my LinkedIn, rewrote my résumé several times based on conflicting advice, and asked a recruiter to help - but still no interviews. I posted several side projects here on Hacker News, but they didn't reach the front page. My current contract making microSD cards for OSE in Taiwan lasts until the end of the year, but I can leave earlier.

Please contact me if you have any idea about immigration-friendly employers, recruiters, websites - anything helps.

The problem with the tax withholdings is that it might only be worth $2/month to you (as it saves you using your excel or whatever) but to the provider they kind of have to provide a very robust calculator and probably assume some liability.

As mentioned, this is only asked of winners to collect their prize, after the draw.

If they won they must be contacted to verify and get info to send them the prize.

Since it is a transfer of value, the SSN has to be known for the 1099 form that is required by the IRS after $600 in value being transferred. It is also required if the sponsor gives it as a gift, pays the tax portion and for the sponsor to expense it out on the business' taxes.

Same thing happens on gameshows or any giveaway.

It is probably easier to trust after you were on a physical gameshow though, if you just won a prize online it seemed scammy to many eventhough we took all precautions to make it legit including no opt-in when they entered the email or phone. Only their email/phone was required to enter after they won the minigame or played the ticket. Everything else was asked later if they won the prize.

It is harder than you'd think to give away the actual prize to people that won it due to all the scams out there taking the fun out of things.
