In my experience executives win their positions by...

(A) being a founding member of the company and accepting high amounts of risk

(B) founding and then selling a company to another company and winning the executive role that way

(C) (the standard way) grinding it out for a very long time in an internal role

(D) being recognized and promoted very soon by an illuminated management that rapidly understands they are very high potential

(E) perhaps to appease an investor, family member or some other politically driven choice to give that person some inflated title

The reason Silicon Valley imports so many Asian workers is that they are deliberately selecting for obedience, Visa / immigrant indentured servents or want mindless crank turners to do some job no one else wants (here, maintain this sharepoint server for the next ten years) and be not expected to go anywhere.

Let’s say you are a hiring manager and you have the following two choices:

(A) independent, agressive and creative employee who may argue with you, leave if you piss them off and generally do only a mixture of what you want them to do and what they feel like doing

(B) Someone who will simply do what they are told and never, ever argue or leave

Many hiring managers select for B in my experience. These are weak managers but they are very common.

This may predispose the characteristics of Asian workers imported into the valley to be the non entrepreneurial ones.

To be an executive you have to take risks, you have to take stands, you have to be agressive. A visa worker cannot do these things out of fear.
That's most of it, but note the mention of the "Pythagorean maxim". The fart joke is an aside, not the main thrust of the passage.

The biggest tradeoff SQL gives you is exactly the one GP points out: it's a leaky abstraction where understanding performance is tied to implementation so much, that you pretty much lose all the benefits of SQL, except familiarity with the technology.

Docker aside, your arguments regarding fat binaries are kinda off mark. Python has been able to package an app and all of its dependencies into a single zip file - which is what a jar file really is - since before Go and Clojure even appeared (see PEP 273). Single-file packaging in JS is also common - very much used for browser deployment.

But "let's change languages because we don't have a reliable way to copy more than one file" sounds a bit insane to me. My solution was Debian packages, not Docker, though.
More interesting, I believe, is the question: why do so many Indians advance to the executive level relative to East Asians, when both are similarly famous for academic excellence and strict upbringing?
Nope! I've never used postgres at all. Most of my RDBMS work was done on HN NSFW ALERT - oracle :-) But your comment supports my general point, which is, that data modelling and relational schema design skills are product agnostic; normalization is normalization, as it were.

Autohotkey is capable of doing some remarkable things (windows only sadly).

Here's a cool "launcher" project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv2LAqkmd1c&feature=youtu.be

https://github.com/plul/Public-AutoHotKey-Scripts

With Pulover's Macro creator, you can literally record actions with mouse and keyboard, get the output in AHK script and tidy it up. You can trivially recognise pixels, meaning you can tell your mouse to click x,y coordinates or a certain button (for when there is no API for something, for example)

http://www.macrocreator.com/

Some genius made a virtual workspace for windows using AHK:
https://github.com/octalmage/mdesktop

Some random uses I have for AHK:

* trigger today's date in dd.mm.yy (or dd-mm-yy, or any combo you like) with a macro, useful for when you drafting documents and need to quickly insert the date

* lookup the train schedule from work to home with a keypress

* shortcut to German characters on an EN keyboard

* paste and translate to/from english with dict.cc and leo.org in separate tabs

* "sig" expands to my email signature

* shortcuts to colleagues' obscure foreign names, which I always misspell in emails (saves embarrassment!)

* macro to run common applications like notepad, chrome, powershell (obvious use case)

* macro to open an excel to do list

* Quickly switch between headphone types on a work PC (USB headphones and regular headphone jack needed some fiddly settings to be changed to switch between them) (https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SoundSet.htm)

* Tool for popup window, can be used to display almost anything, e.g. your list of shortcuts in case you forget them! - https://autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=100953#p100953

* Huge list of ideas here: https://github.com/ahkscript/awesome-AutoHotkey

AHK has a huge amount of cool projects on the forums, and it runs like lightning since it is very resource light.

Yes, this is how it was taught to me also.

An example of "how not to do it" and something that would never pass the ethical review board in modern academia.
I'm vegetarian, I've turned a few years ago, when I've moved to Berlin, a city with a lot of vegetarian options everywhere, also full of vegetarians(and vegans).

Before, I lived in a third world country called Brazil. There, it's mandatory you eat meat. And it's very very tasty. I used to eat A LOT of meat there.

In Germany(Berlin), meat is very expensive. Well, at least good meat, like I used to. If I wanted to eat the same amount of meat, I probably would spend thousand of euros a month to eat the same quality/kind of meat.

So we started to eat tofu and vegetarian food and discovered it is tasty as well, but then you need to add some nice sauce and cook it well, instead of just frying some meat.

I think factors like the one I've mentioned could be a reason. A city with a lot of vegetarian restaurants, will make you eventually go into one of them and see the food is tasty, then you start to play with the idea, then you change and see no difference... apart that you don't eat animals anymore.
It's a symmetrical wheel -- there is no bottom.
> it was already clear that arguably the most important company in Silicon Valley’s history was in trouble: PCs, long Intel’s chief money-maker, were in decline, leaving the company ever more reliant on the sale of high-end chips to data centers;

Where PCs were replaced, they were succeeded by laptops, and for the most part they use Intel processors.
My casual sex partner is, almost by definition, not the person I'm looking to settle down and start a family with. In fact, half the appeal of casual sex is fucking someone you'd never date.

So I fall to see what that has to do with what the GP is saying, which is men are being denied opportunities to have a family en mass.

Which is kinda silly, honestly, I see unappealing men dating and getting married, having kids, all the time. Like the GP said, as long as you aren't hideous or have a hygene problem dating isn't particularly difficult for men if you're 1) pleasant and outgoing, 2) put some effort into it, and 3) not absurdly picky.
I automated work reimbursements.

I drop pdfs in a dropbox folder from any device, and at the end of the month, my home computer combines the pdfs, attaches it to an email and sends it off to accounting. I could have it autodetect which invoices from my email match work expenses, but the hard-to-automate part is needing to upload paper receipts.

I haven't used Kubernetes yet since I have a Mesos scheduler that runs heavy workloads on-demand and wants to use all unused resources for a few minutes. I can't see a way to configure a k8 service to use either zero or as many pods as it possibly could, without writing something to watch the cluster's metadata and update the service's config files
Maybe, if you pin VM's vCPUs to different cores. Then you can use the hyperthreads as vCPUs.
Computer used to cost months of salaries. In around 1995, in France, you could buy a 10.000 Fr computer whereas minimum wage was around 3.000 Fr per month. Still, my parents made the financial effort to buy one.

As a non-native speaker, I think that preclude is the word you're looking for. Not disagreeing with what you say.
If you pin VMs to different cores, never sharing hyperthreads, then the risk is contained per VM (or per core).
The Origins of WEIRD (Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic)Psychology
I really think this article fails to make its point about what exactly intel stands to gain from say, manufacturing processors for Apple. It trades in its major competitive advantage, advanced processes (dispite the propaganda intel is far from out of the game process advantage wise) coupled tightly with its processor designs that ensure margins that would make most companies blush, for low margin hypercompetitive contract work.

Intel is under absolutely no real threat of being unseated as the company that powers virtually every server in existence, throwing that away to chase contract mfging work dosent make any sense, even if some other companies do it well. The arguement it makes would be more like intel going back into DRAM production, and abandoning x86.

Providing a rebuttal can confirm details that the journalist isn't sure about.

One journalistic technique to get info from an unwilling subject is to make up a dramatic lie, and then record the rebuttal.

"No no, we're not closing the factory, and it's only 400 staff who'll lose their jobs."

> k8s is just oversold and overhyped

Yes, like anything else is, but it also removes almost all ops overhead and is much faster and easier to maintain at the container level than recreating images and redeploying VMs.

Since the vast majority of startups just want to run apps and aren't doing any sophisticated lower-level infrastructure, trading terraform/chef/puppet for k8s yaml is a net win, especially since it also replaces several other accessory software like load balancers, service discovery, rolling deployments, etc. that you might need otherwise.
The Dexcom G5 website says you should recalibrate with a meter every 12 hours to ensure accurate readings. Do you really have to recalibrate that often?
Actually, a large number of hosts are behind a DNSSEC validating resolver. And that's because the use of Google's public resolvers is extremely wide spread.

I don't know if they document it somewhere, but it is essentially trivial for letsencrypt to use a DNSSEC validating resolver.

So that means that if you care about DV security, you enable DNSSEC.

And that is how you hack the human mind. Subvert the intuition and expectation. Everyone thinks Feynman is joking and means "I didn't take the door" when he said "I did take the door". The former is remembered, not the later. The expectation, intuition, is that the speaker is lying/joking, thus, the opposite is true.
It appears that way because:

1. Those who flaunt are in the minority, but make the most impact. You are looking at endless flaunted wealth in few cities like Mumbai and Bangalore, but not at the infinite villages in states like Maharashtra, MP, UP, Bihar, etc. where most people still struggle to make a livelihood.

2. Its easy to flaunt wealth in India than more developed countries because of ills like corruption, illiteracy, lack of social media and awareness, etc. If an American flaunts wealth, probably he/she will easily catch the attention of social media and the FBI/IRS/etc. But in India, nobody cares and the institutions are quite corrupt and easily bend to the will of the rich and wealthy.

Besides, there's a lot of "jobs" out there right now where minimum wage does not apply - the service industry (where it has to be filled by tips, which are voluntary, but if you don't tip you're both 'stealing' people's wages and will get shit treatment), the "gig economy", etcetera.
Referring to the region as the "Orient" isn't really a problematic term, even if it might be seen as a bit archaic. But using the term "oriental" to refer to the people from that region does have a disparaging and pejorative history in American English usage. Outside of the US the term is considered less disparaging and more just considered archaic.

Ask HN: How to get 1 karma point
Hello everyone, I'd like to get 1 karma point so that I would have 2 karma points in total, so that I can prove my HackerNews account into my Keybase account. Unfortunately I have no idea how can I gain karma, since I haven't used HackerNews that much.
Can someone help me understand how I can get that 1 needed karma point so that I could prove my identity?

My intention is/was not to "whore karma points", I just wanted an answer on how to get karma points, since I didn't know how it works and now I know that upvotes gives karma points. Please don't upvote anymore, I don't want to get any more points, I only needed 1 more point (which I already received) in order to claim this account for my use in Keybase.

Kubernetes has resource limiting built in, in the form of Resource Quotas[0] and more practically (or more straight forward to use) resources for pods[1]. The system's not perfect, so it's likely possible to overcommit machines, but there are QoS controls for critical workloads.

Kubernetes is built in a way that it's easy for people to write something that watches cluster metadata and perform actions (controller pattern), as such a lot of functionality is built in gradually overtime just like that. I'm not sure when resource management first came on the scene but it's been around for a while.

You can also use Kubernetes to manage resources completely unrelated to Kubernetes by bringing Custom Resource Definitions ("CRDs") into play -- that's when you create a "fake" Kubernetes resource that (ex. VirtualMachine) manages some resource that's actually on the machine. The combination of CRDs and controllers to manage them is called the "Operator pattern"[2] and it's gaining a lot of hype right now as people wrestle with it conceptually but it's been around the whole time.

Yes, you frequently can tell. There appears to be a number of people doing some form of automation with different degrees of success. Even though it's a clever use of software and when you're hiring for a software engineer it should be promising, it gets annoying and you tend to discard it.
I wouldn't suggest attempting it unless you can do it extremely well if it's fully automated, or use it to help simplify the process, but still complete the last steps manually.

The problem with land line voice quality is that people expect a land line phone / VoIP adapter to cost like 20 USD or Euro. At this price point you can't have fancy codecs and audio hardware that delivers a decent signal. Bad audio hardware with a good codec can actually decrease audio quality (the mic's noise no longer gets filtered as it is with 8kHz PCM).
That's actually a great way to get an answer to any question someone may not want to answer, regardless of your profession.

Say your friend exits for an undisclosed sum and you want to know how much:

Your friend existed for around 40 million US.
