I've hosted a 30+ of couch surfers over the past year.
They crash on an air mattress in my studio apartment, so it's a tight space. Even though they are grateful for a free place to stay here in San Francisco, it's easy for me to say a very western things that my guests misinterpret.

For example, the word asshole. To me, asshole does not, and never really did, mean the hole in one's butt. Asshole means jerk. At least it did until I hosted someone from South Africa. He told me that in South Africa, my language would be considered very profane profane. To him, asshole ONLY meant (still means?) butthole. There was no overlap in how we understood the word.

So I recommend keeping your language as neutral as possible, relying on as little idiomatic wording as you can. Say jerk, not asshole. Say it's raining quite harc, not it' raining cats and dogs, etc.

But do you need that much?

A lot of people drink out of habit, also a lot of drinks make you thirsty.
IMHO the interesting thing about the emails is it provides insight into his process of asking for it. He had done all of the other work ahead of time and even provided the draft protocol spec in his email. He also was willing to accept a different port number assignment, but gently suggested just continuing what they had been using during local testing. Had he asked in a very terse manner or not done as much legwork up front, then conceivably he might not have received a port assignment at all.
> The number should preferably be in the range 1-255 so that it can be used in the WKS field in name servers.

Can't find any reference to WKS as a 'field' or record type. Any greybeards want to elaborate?

No.

If you want me for a skillset that I have then interview me on that.

If you think that dumb white board questions are relevant, then there is a 50% chance that I will get it right. Your loss if I get it wrong. You know that job isn't going to be related to some algorithmic crap. (At least it doesn't waste too much of my time - compared to some pretty hefty take home tests I have done).

After 15 years, there is too much stuff to study for its likely a waste of time. I know the stuff that I know well. I won't bullshit any claims about stuff that i don't know.

Any chance this turns into an Audio book?

I'm sure there are plenty of others who find it hard to find time to sit down & read a book. When I do, I tend to read the kind that don't work as audio books or just aren't available.

Also, there is something nice about being outside & walking while listening to a book.
The surface book touchpad hardware itself might be as good as the trackpad in Macbook's but the software support in windows is not even close. Almost everything but UWP apps and some other first party windows apps have jittery scrolling even with the best trackpad hardware, which is not the case with mac apps.
Hello, I run a small DevOps consulting company. Can we create one single CloudForecast.io account with independent customers of ours each having multiple AWS accounts? Essentially a single login to view all customers grouped by AWS account?
There's lots of great advice here, one more thing I would add is make it clear to the CEO up front that the deadline will slip. I would make this an absolute and get the new deadline in writing, because if you use weasel words then the CEO may claim that they misunderstood. Make it clear that even this new deadline may change as your understanding of the situation develops. You should also be the one to deliver the good news about the moved deadline to the team. If the CEO is unwilling to accept this, then you should probably walk away, because it suggests that they're still in denial about what is happening.
These links are intended to suggest something contrary to what I've said, but they do not suggest any contradiction.

I find such euphoric praises of tech ridiculous. Especially when at the same time its alternatives are declared unusable (or in this particular case "obsolete" or a "trainwreck"). I have not used Vue yet and heard some good things about it. But despite this lack of experience I'm confident to say it is not the solution for everything and everyone.

There were a lot of smaller outages in Q1. This must be the 2018 Cloud Next push.
>Why is including values of our time bad, while honouring some 2018ya lord good?

I didn't say that was bad, I just figured if you wanted to say 15k years ago you could say 15k years ago instead of making up another acronym, ago isn't a long word.
Also I don't necessarily think you have to date from the supposed birthdate of the Jesus Christ. But since we have, why not leave it as is? Why are we being subjected to CE and BCE? It would be quite a message-laden decision if some institutions had a policy of NOT referring to our numbers as Arabic numerals, for instance.
It's not self-evident that any of those things are wrong. Could you explain what you believe instead, and why? Perhaps in a blog post so as not to pollute this discussion.
Cloud Functions too, I suppose because they use load balancers.
Ask HN: I have a not secure ssl certificate  on my netlify hosted static page
I hosted my static site on Netlify, and was given an SSL certificate after adding a custom domain name by changing its DNS servers, and it has been working fine but today after doing a prelaunch on product hunt(https://www.producthunt.com/posts/repetil) my site is showing a not secure tool bar notification in chrome due to my certificate being invalid because it was issued to netlify, and I am left wondering if I am the only one with this issue.
I'm amazed, "start digging" didn't make the cut.

I don't know if this is the best blog to learn to survive from.
Is there an easy way to see what cloud based resources sites are using? For instance, PushBullet is down now and this might explain why. Several other sites affected, too.
What Americans need is more emphasis on creating and sticking to budgets, recognizing true needs versus wants, and how to save. Investing can come later after the budget which includes some attempt at savings.

Many people who enter a program to learn how to budget quickly learn how all the monthly bills in their life add up quickly to consume their income. Examples are spending too much on cell and internet service plans, too many subscriber entertainment services, gym memberships, eating out wastefully, and more. Even the knowledge the buying a car with a term over 42 months is too much car is important to know.

Yes there are some in society who truly are at limits but we have to follow a different means to get them back to functional levels. It still benefits them immensely to learn strict budgeting that they can take forward when their income stabilizes.
this one appears to be just global LBs, so a load balancer in AWS/Azure that hits the actual backends over a VPN or something would have worked, but that's just this case

> but insurance has paid $35 or more

Insurance does not actually pay that much. Because of drug rebates (paid by the drug manufacturer), clawbacks, and Co-Pays, in total the drug manufacturer gets about the same as they would for the OTC drug.

See here: https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/07/news/economy/drug-prices-re... (and that article barely scratches the surface).

Destroying that entire money-network would be probably the #1 thing that could help US medical spending. And as much as people hate Trump, he's probably the only one with the actual ability, and desire to do something about it.

Other presidents have cared, but they were too risk adverse, Trump would be like "hmm, looks good - do it and let's see what happens". That kind of risk taking gets him in a lot of trouble, but it's why he was elected, and why he still has support despite the INCREDIBLY stupid things he says.
Would it be too much trouble to share what you know? Even just a list of the players would be helpful.

I'd really like to understand more about this industry, but from a consumer perspective, it's very opaque. It's easy to find people search websites (and articles about them), but much harder to understand how they got your data or what else about you may be getting sold.
Heh, I thought this was going to be about JTAG.
> I think that working class people in these regions wouldn’t be adverse to the program being expanded to include them

It’s so strange, the people who would most benefit from universal healthcare (and those that currently do, like Medicare beneficiaries) tend to be the strongest objectors to it, citing hard-to-understand ideological reasons.
I agree class issues are at play. But our “class system” is not determined by blood lines. The constituents of a a given class are fluid. Which leads me to believe it is a combination of human nature and relative participation of the various classes. Blaming “the rich” when voting turnout is so low and election participation is low is a non starter for me.

Pay raises that rise faster than inflation are unsustainable, rather, you're pointing at a specific asymmetry between the BigCos and startups in the Bay, which is definitely causing strain.

Outside the Valley and specific centres, this isn't quite so much an issue.

Inside, it's an intractable problem ...

Though your point might be valid from the Dev's perspective, consider the other side for a moment and you see how tough it is - i.e. to have the expectations of ever increasing normalized outflows.

So we need to look at this kind of objectively (i.e. not from just Exec/Dev perspective) to figure out how to deal with the situation.
The Fed is responsible for the savings rate of the average American, which is to say, it's absolutely worthless to stick your money in the bank and watch it grow, which would help starve off what they're talking about here.
low-cost index funds are a parasitic investment strategy that's leading to a huge overvaluation of tech stocks.

What could go wrong with millions of people believing in a simplistic investment strategy that always works. Kinda like buy a house real estate prices always go up. Well, for all the private equity funds that picked up real estate and banks at pennies on the dollar.

Yes, definitely. If the parent comment that I disagreed with had come with huge disclaimers that it was only intended as a technique to be applied precisely in the OP's use case of persuading people to give up certain modern tech, then that's fine, maybe it's good advice, maybe not, but it's not a morality or "general rule" sort of topic.

The comment is not written that way at all and it's not implied from context, especially because the comment talks about it as advice heard in a corporate setting, which begs the interpretation of a generic corporate policy or something "team players" will do, etc.

It is specifically because the parent comment was written that way (a generic heuristic for corporate settings) that I felt it was useful to offer a disagreeing perspective and highlight that it could be quite harmful to encourage adopting such a thing as a generic "corporate setting" rule of thumb.
This has been causing issues for us for the last couple of hours. We migrated a web application over to GAE last month. It's been rock solid and this is the first issue we've had. Happy to know we can sit back and let them sort it out.
I suspect this is what caused the technical difficulties with HQ Trivia.
Even in traditional memory, you can use a single degree of freedom to store multiple bits, by quantizing the charge. Like in TLC flash memory, where you can store 3 bit per cell.

This is because in traditional memory, a single "cell" stores many elementary charges (electrons).
You haven't even landed and you already have a solution in mind? The things you list are long term goals and very cookie-cutter approach to running a team. This might not go well for you if you expect to project your ideals onto other people on the first day; especially a team that is already burnt out. I would seek to understand the situation first from the team because from you description, it seems like everything you know about the team came from the CEO.
Of course the game makers aren't going to filter it, it makes them an "unwitting" benficiary of money laundering. It's not like their overt business purpose is any better.

Well, I wasn't always, but I'm trying to be now! :)
Grrr. So much for global redundancy.

What is going to be faster? Updating DNS records with TTL 3600 to point to a single data center or Google fixing their problem.

We host DNS at AWS, but servers in GCP. Should we use AWS's automatic DNS failover feature to cover for such a case?
I think these days, whether or not a doctor or physician assistant "wants" to do something isn't really considered in the equation.

Basically, the schools jack up the medical practitioners with hundreds of thousands in debt, and the practitioners will do absolutely whatever is required to pay it off and eek out a living :(
Why are the above statements a problem? You can reasonably disagree with them but Sam seems to have made them in good faith based on his observations. His comments speak to important issues and merit a discussion, even if he's wrong at times.

Either way, his observations suggest someone who thinks about major issues and reaches his own conclusions - something I appreciate.
Some of them are right, I think. The US is going downhill.

But some are just "I need some work horses who do 100h a week for my gain" kind of stuff
To me it is pretty ridiculous how much labor is taxed, and how little capital is taxed. Especially if we are worried about automation and lack of productivity growth, it seems so counter-intuitive that we are completely stuck to a tax system that devalues workers.

I'm guessing based on his reference to the public school system treating his way of thinking like a disease that he's probably somewhere mild on the autism spectrum, so thinking about social nuances isn't his strong suit.

Assuming that's correct, I don't think its fair to characterize his thinking as repulsive when its really just a coping mechanism for dealing with his personal limitations. Its rude, yes, but its not meant to be malicious or cruel.
if you are familiar enough with the subject matter everything will seem basic.

It’s literally not sustainable. The size of the population that has been priced out of access to medical services is approaching a majority if not already.

90% of Americans avoid doctors like the plague. 10% blow out their insurance like they just won the lottery.
His flying from Bali to Singapore is totally understandable. He was in pain/shock and not advised by doctors to avoid flight.

I'd say there are very reasonable parallels between DRM and on client anti-cheat technology.

I mean, at it's most base, both technologies are there to subvert the owners wishes. Arduous people like me find such subversion to be unethical.

Not that I don't see the practicality, mind.
A better example would be the ceramic bearing fiasco that NetApp experienced with Seagate. Seagate had switched to a floating ceramic bearing on one family of their fiber channel drives. In those drives one or more of the bearings would shatter and start spreading ceramic dust across the disk surface. This happened between 3 and 4 years of run time and the disk would rapidly fail after that happened. People that bought a filer with several hundred drives started seeing large numbers fail suddenly. Up to the point they failed, not any indication. But it was run time hours related and thus correlated to all drives that started running at the same time. If you had put those drives in different data centers on different racks on different servers it wouldn't have mattered if you started 20 at the same time to be your 'tome', when they started failing it was possible to lose them all in a week.
generally lookup the IPs (dig <hostname>) and then attempt a host/whois on that IP. For PushBullet it's hidden by CloudFlare so hard to see easily, you should try and find an exposed endpoint (which they haven't if they've done well).
I must agree. This smells like a strong case of "no shit-sherlock".
Oh, if only I could make a career of pointing math things out :)

Joking aside, I think a lot of researchers will oversell the applications of their technology, so it's just as important to be able to recognize when a particular math thing will help, and when it's more harm than good. The first rule of statistics is: if the decision maker already has their heart set on a particular action, you shouldn't waste your time and money designing a statistical study with fancy tests and inference techniques.
> As a healthy individual there is absolutely no way I would sign up for universal healthcare.

That's fine, because you don't have to. It's just there if you need it.

> Thankfully the government won't be able to mandate it anytime soon as we have a first and second amendment protecting citizens

The First and Second Amendments didn't prevent Social Security or Medicare. Why would it be any different for Medicare-for-all?
They're only unsustainable if the employee's productivity is stagnant. If one year of experience increases an employee's productivity then you can more than happily increase their pay by greater than inflation.

Yeah I know. Hence mentioning record types in the question you're reponding to. But yes, that wikipedia page has some info:
