Never been interested in being at the “director” level, but most major metropolitan cities have your standard corporate IT jobs in development, project management, etc.

For instance in Atlanta, you may not make $300K a year, but you can buy a 2500 square foot house for $400K - $600K in one of the most affluent areas in the country (measured by median household income) - John’s Creek. If you go a little further up north to Forsyth - one of the most affluent counties in the US, you can get a 3000 square foot house, brand new build with all of the niceties for less than $350K.

Also the “tech scene” is not all it’s cracked up to be during a recession when non profitable companies are dependent on VC funding. There were plenty of tech jobs in profitable corporate companies during both the 2000 dot com bust and the 2008 recession.

Edit: personal anecdote:

I had just been working three years when the dotcom bust happened. The company I worked for didn’t blink. They gave almost everyone $10K raises that year and 20% bonuses because the local market was still thriving.

2008 was slightly harder, developers could find contract work but a lot of companies weren’t hiring permanent employees. Middle management and project managers were hit hard.
This is sound advice.

The only time I've made contact with a moving car as a cyclist was when I was going past an off-ramp.

The weird thing was that I thought the driver "saw me". It was late morning, no problem with visibility. From my POV, she was looking right at me. In fact, she was looking "through" me. She simply was expecting other cars and a person on a bike was not what she was looking for.

Human attention is very much selective. Check out this shocking video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJG698U2Mvo

After that, I ride with a bright flashing headlight at all times, even daylight. It gives some measure of protection, I think.

Having used clojure for quite a while now I both agree and disagree. I agree that these very productized, opinionated, monolithic libraries/scaffoldings are great in getting people to use your language and clojure lacks them. OTOH I think it does lacks them mostly for the right reasons. Libraries just being a bunch of functions/macros you can use anywhere you want is what's great about lisp/clojure. Personally I hope the clojure community puts less emphasis on ever becoming a mainstream language and instead focuses on making sure it's THE modern viable lisp for years to come.

Nice design. I'm the only one there though ;_;.
It depends on where you are, I'd say. If you live in a water-rich area, water itself should be fine to use. The question is how much energy goes into heating and cleaning it afterwards though. If you live in a water-poor area, it's a different story.

edit: And the cycle is impacted as well, depending on the water flow. Here, water comes out from the aquifier, and is then entered into a river, so it is a shortcut (no spring, no small trickles that join together, and no staying within the aquifier, so the level might be lowered). If this is a problem or not depends on the specific situation.

Yep, but purely anecdotal data, I once was involved in the construction of a (small) hydroelectric plant (I was responsible for the construction/building, not for the electrical parts, our construction company had a couple electric partners for that).

For some reasons the tender was for the building and plant, but the client made a separate tender for the actual turbines.

Though I tried (vainly) to convince the manufacturer of the turbines to use a controller from the same firm we had as partner, they decided to use "their" way.

In theory not a problem as the turbines and their controllers would "talk" to the external control system (SCADA, etc.) through a "standard" RS422 connection.

After a couple days of testing, it was clear that the SCADA was going periodically "beserk".

Though not at all my field/responsability, I was willing to have the problem solved and after 3 (three) days of the engineers from the turbine manufacturer and from the control system manufacturer finding nothing (and BTW largely failing to communicate between them) I started looking with them, one by one, at the signals that were exchanged on the connection.

It was evident that there was some form of overflow, the on-turbine controller sent way too many data and "clogged" the receiving part.

There was a sensor for rotation speed and another one for oil pressure that were polled (and sent data) at a rate of 1000 per second.

The turbines were of the Pelton type, with an external (large) flywheel, and it took (literally) tens of seconds since you stopped the waterflow to have the actual wheel slow down and after several more tens of seconds stop, and viceversa once it got to the intended speed, it had in practice no variation.

So you had these two sensors polled 1000 times a second to measure something that would change - maybe - only after several seconds intervals and that could be as well corrected with a delay of tens of seconds.

Reducing the polling rate from 1000 to 10 times a second (still way overkill for the proper functioning of the system) all errors went away.

It came out that these sensors were a new type/make/model, the first to be capable of Khz polling, and the turbine engineers set them to the max only because they could.
There was an airshow recently in Toronto and all aircraft (including F35) stopped flying because of a light rain. I guess it's a common precaution measure on airshows.
Note that the Argentinians started the war with only five air-launched Exocet missiles in stock and with those they took out an air defence destroyer and a very important supply ship.

The Argentinians deployed two submarines. The Royal Navy caught the WWII surplus Santa Fe. The more up to date San Luis evaded the RN and it's attacks were only foiled by poor maintenance of it's weapon systems.

The British submarines drove the Argentinian surface ships (including their carrier) into port.

The RN of the time was as good as any at anti-submarine warfare and had quite modern air defences. I think the Falklands war showed how effective air-launched missiles and submarines were (are).

Amazon India unveils Hindi website, app in battle with Flipkart
A house is an inflation hedge. I live in a metro area. Rent went up from $1200 a month in 2012 to $1700 a month in 2016. Now it is $2100 a month. This was for a 3 bedroom 1600 square foot apartment. We moved into a 2900 square foot house, a new build,
where the mortgage is about the same.

A fixed rate mortgage will only change slightly with property taxes and insurance.

Even if the value of the house only goes up with inflation, you still get larger returns because you can take advantage of leveraging other people’s money.

Also, a paid off house means that’s one expense you don’t have to worry about after you retire.
I would expect a carrier group would be a prime target for medium/long range nuclear missiles. They can't be hidden from military satellites so they would be like sitting ducks. Send 2-3 per group, at Mach 5-6 nothing can stop them and group is no more.
Taking this as the thread for Jira Ops as well...

> Is there a Jira Ops server option?
> Jira Ops is currently available for cloud. We believe the best incident tooling is hosted outside your infrastructure so it’s always available, even if all your internal systems go down.

Once again, Atlassian keeps the good stuff from customers who for whichever reason (usually regulatory) they must maintain systems with no ingress from the internet and therefore cannot use SaaS products.

Atlassian is right, of course, that these kinds of systems which are "above" production should not use the same infrastructure, so that they are completely independent of production in case of wide-ranging production outages. It doesn't matter, regulation is regulation is regulation.

I'm not sure what their market positioning is supposed to be with this product. The value of managed incident response only goes up with the size of the client company. Yet, Jira's cloud offering has a limit of 2,000 users, with early access (read: no production / performance support or guarantees) for 5,000 users. If you work for a large Fortune Whatever company, and even if that company is able to move infrastructure to a public cloud and use SaaS and various goodies, you must operate Jira Data Center to operate with that number of users. Because Jira Data Center isn't Jira Cloud, you don't get access to Jira Ops.

Does Atlassian not think that incident response matters to companies operating under airgap regulations? Or to large enterprises? Does Atlassian think that smaller companies are spending that much time and energy on incident response to warrant this product? :/
That's a whole other story.

The article implies that Google apps and services are to blame for user data collection, but 3rd party apps should also be taken into account: most apps require access to practically every resource no matter if it's really needed or not, and the wort part of it is the users who got accustomed to open everything just to play even the lamest game. That makes any phone out there the worst possible platform to do anything remotely related to security/privacy/banking/money etc.

There is a number of things think Fuchsia or Zircon more specifically have correct.

Couple of big ones is first using a micro kernel. We really need this at this point for granularity in a MP setting so cache will be hot.

So a driver can be pinned to a processor so working with cache instead of going to memory.

Then with the ability for a thread to sleep based on a montitor/MWAIT on a specific processor.

This way you can basically create a pipeline that is super fast and uses memory to communicate.

The other really smart thing was how drivers are using a Vdso and therefore mapped into all process address space.

Then the obvious is using a memory capability approach which removes a lot of marshaling that usually has to happen by the kernel.

There is going to be a lot of interesting ways to leverage Zircon.
No---you are not alone.

1. First edition books, the Bible, Koran, etc. should not be fooled with.

I have a 1st edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, that I treat with utmost respect. It's sold gold in my mind.

2. I guarantee paper books will be the next big collectible thing. Right now so many people are dumping them, but they will be very collectible again. Hell--the 1st edition market is still pretty strong, and has been for as long as I remember.

(I'm too old to argue. I'm taking a break from HN. I never added much, but stuff like this shouldn't bother me at 5:38 am.)
I think the solution isn't to change the publishers it's to let them go bankrupt. In my experience in Computer Science most papers are at conferences and if those simply focused on the conference itself and maybe a website linking to the arxiv versions of the accepted papers there simply wouldn't be a need for any other publishing. As it stands 99% of the burden is on the scientific community anyway, that leaves publishers with abysmal editing and extortion.

That's nice, but:

1) 200 customers, even if everyone paid, is an order of magnitude less than I need to pay my team (we're primarily a research&development company)

2) Our product/service isn't something you buy without a second thought on an e-shop, based on YouTube video or a Reddit post, it's a big, long-term and important investment that will be a powerful factor in the decisions of your company for the next 10 years and the selling process involves a great deal of analysis and customization, and of course internal negotiation and decision making at the customer's side

3) Our product/service isn't something you'd think you need before we offered it to you, and each company has very different needs

4) Everyone we're competing against has powerful sales teams, if we don't do it, everyone will buy from them because they got there first and the cost of switching is way too big
I imagine incidents like this will become a lot more common as space travel becomes commonplace and spacecraft are built in assembly lines.

Also, the fix should be simple - either the epoxi or a small metal plate glued or welded on top of the hole (I'd suggest glue, because of the lower thermal stresses). The guy used the wrong glue.

It's just one atmosphere. Taking turns and putting a finger on top of the hole is a reasonable emergency fix.

I am not sure what reading of history led you to conclude that people were tame in the past, but one thing to consider is that, as most history is written by the victors (or, at least, about them), the losers, victims, foot-soldiers and general populace can end up looking like nothing more than stage props in a costume drama.

You can do that on Earth if your thermal vacuum chamber is big enough. They will run accelerated hot/cold cycles while under vacuum to simulate something like 30 transitions but if the glue in the hole held out through the entire test, there would be no way to find it.

That definition makes an odd dichotomy between "turn-off-your-brain" style consumption on the "passive" side and necessary but mostly unrewarding chores on the "active" side.

> After enabling the Mikrotik RouterOS HTTP proxy, the attacker uses a trick in the configuration by redirecting all the HTTP proxy requests to a local HTTP 403 error page, and in this error page a link for web mining code from coinhive.com is inserted.

> What is disappointing for the attacker though, the mining code does not work in this way, because all the external web resources, including those from coinhive.com necessary for web mining, are blocked by the proxy ACLs set by attackers themselves.

Same case for me. I had an AC88U. I got tired of it because the 5GHz 802.11ac radio seemed like it'd be forever broken in OSS firmwares. I felt asuswrt was pretty crappy too. I went ubiquiti. Their management is nice, and they actually seem interested in fixing bugs in their firmware.
Expecting the general population to do a pre-trip more involved than "yup, my tires don't look flat" is a recipe for disappointment. It's also not efficient. Mechanical failure causes a negligible portion of road accidents and the overwhelming majority of those only affect the vehicle that had the problem.
Although RouterOS is based on OSS (Linux kernel), parent wanted to flash the unit with software they built themselves from source. This afaik isn't possible with Mikrotik hardware.
