What’s funny is that it is the attitude most people adopt in these organisations but not those who are the most successful at climbing the ladder, which you can’t really do without some boldness, bending or challenging the rules, etc, that’s how you get things done and getting things done is a quality that managenent likes.

But what is perverse is that the whole organisation is designed to prevent that. Distributing responsabilities among many people, none of who understand the whole process, all of who are just trying to apply some policies with no understanding of what these policies are meant for, and be ready to kill the company if the policy says so.

I work in one of these kafkaesque places on the business side, I remember a project manager from IT once telling me that they need to make a change mandated by the compliance department that makes absolutely no sense and would have prevented us from serving our clients. I challenge IT, no we don’t want to go to jail, it has to be done. I go to the compliance department, explain why it is a moronic decision (with a bit more tact), they agree, and reverse the policy.

And I have seen that done many many times. So many people in these orgs are paid to say no, to resist any change, or simply do not care or understand. One needs to plow through, which requires a huge amount of energy, and results in most project being half baked, over expensive or simply never getting anywhere.

That’s why large organisations, populated by otherwise smart, well educated people generate so much mediocrity.

INSTAGRAM DOWN
They are not very similar in implementation due to the nature of the languages. But the idea that it would be useful for the Java standard library to provide flexible, extensible, general-purpose containers (as opposed to ad-hoc stuff like Vector and Hashtable) was inspired by the STL.
I had an excellent time working with kubernetes and I am practically a one person company. Kubernetes frees my mind from so many things that now I hate to work without it. Couple of those things include:

- automated ssl

- centralized logging

- super easy scaling up and down (going from 1 instance to 2 instance is a headache manually)

- centralized auth (have a service which doesnt have built in auth?)

- super easy recovery (containers recreated/volumes attached automatically/apps just work unless you have db type of application which shouldn't be just restarted, which is rare)

- Smooth CI/CD (gogs/jenkins/private docker image repository)

As for the "execute query" example, why is it such a headache ? I just "kubectl ssh <container>" and I am in.

> I know a bio scientist who spent

Super obscure example. Kubernetes is definitely not for non-tech people. And I didn't pick k8s overnight. Spent a year doing playful POCs before deploying in a production environment.

If the only thing thats stopping you from using k8s is the learning curve, I suggest you to go ahead and learn it. Its a huge boon.

Anyone aware of any bank accounts (USA based banks) - that allow for some programmatic moving percentages of money between accounts?

I want to have it when I deposit client checks in one account it takes the money and moves one third to another account and one third to another.
(then I'd like to have a personal account do the same, whenever money is transferred from my business A account to this personal account, take one third and move to savings, one third move to wherever..

My google FU did not find this.. I found a couple of banks saying that you could do transfers, and I think one bank had it so you could choose an amount, like $500 every week or something more static and have that auto transfer... but for freelancing gigs it's not usually a static amount every week.

I thought about doing (and may still have to ) an ask HN on this, but this story / thread is likely perfect for this.

I'd like to find an actual bank product that would do this, I don't really trust the security of a phone app to mess with accounts, and don't want to put a bunch of eggs into some cloud basket either, so I'd prefer to stay away from third party cloud sites that use my authentication to touch any accounts.

This kind of thing would help so many in the gig economy plan for the quarterly stuff better, hope someone can point to a bank that does this.
Thanks, we'll discuss this and follow up!

This is exciting!

Yeh, it's kind of redicoulius how much of a bias there is. It sounds like some Sam Harris or Jordan Peterson disciples going out to battle for them.

> Typically, the code itself is trivial.

There are tremendous financial opportunities waiting behind automation of expensive tasks usually performed by developers.

For many of those tasks, the moment is right now, and the code itself is not trivial.
You can want these things but the world does not have to deliver for you. A institutionalized version of that mentality is exactly the problem; organizations like the SEC fundamentally exist because 'someone has to protect' people's ability to inflation-proof their nest-egg. People should not question why their nest-egg should have to be made inflation-proof in the first place.
same here, you really have to look at your own needs. i was thinking about using something like that, but at the end of the day i would waste time and energy and complicate my setup a lot for no benefits. We are simply not at that scale, and dont have those problems, and as much as i would like to play with new technology (and i do that privately) cost/benefit calculation for us is not working right now.

In fact you really can get factory buildings basically for free from Hong Kong government because they don't know what to do with the building, but there is also a fab which actually is still in use (not heavily though)
We're in talks with some of the folks who know the owner of the fab and are having a meeting with him very soon.

They actually have automation of the production line to a certain degree, so we can most likely stem it if we can get two more members into the team.

For now we are just planning the layout and mask set and making sure everything is correct, so that we can provide reliable measurement data in order for you guys to start designing.

Since the HK dollar stays for ages already on 8HKD ~ 1USD but the Reminbi is getting more expensive, we will at some point be cheaper producing here in Hong Kong.

You can however just sign NDAs and shove the money up into the ... wallets ... of big companies like SMIC.

If however you wanna be sure that there are no CIA backdoors sneaked into your mask set I'd suggest our service.

I think our educational system is flawed as well. I know a lot of talented people who would be able to do great things in science and research if there was a way for them to enter academia after they’ve become full fledged adults.

Often it’s people who matured late or spend their youths trying to figure out what they wanted, and now they can’t really enter into academia because the institutions were build to educate the same way we educate children.

I know there are masters programs, but a lot of those, and a lot of people who take the time to re-educated, are solely focused on getting more valuable for business, not for research.

It’s a shame, because I think we lose a lot of potential by almost entirely focusing our higher learning systems on young people.

I genuinely believe that you're not asking that question in good faith; I believe that for whatever reason, you have some issue with my assertion that some people want one kind of society in the US and some people want a different kind (nothing wrong with having a different opinion), and I genuinely believe that your question is, rather than an honest question on that topic, some kind of sideways attack on this, perhaps based on the practicality of maintaining a decent society, but without actually stating your case such that it can be discussed.

Part of this belief is based on the fact that your question is a fake question (and that when it was clear that I was suspicious of your motives, you simply repeated it without any amplifying remarks - you knew I didn't understand, but you didn't do anything to help me understand you). That the answer is apparent to everyone involved, but drawing our attention to that answer doesn't actually add anything to the conversation. If your fake question did actually add to the topic, it would be a useful rhetorical device, but it doesn't. In effect, you've stated "people want to move to the US" and... that's it. How's that relevant? I don't think it is. I think it's just a veiled attempt to derail.

As such, I choose not to engage. If I have mistaken your intentions, I do apologise, but that's what I believe. In that case, at least now you know why I think you're acting in bad faith.

While they talked about comfortable size etc. all the time they were still explosively growing. It will be interesting to watch how they manage if their products really plateau.

I guess your answer supports the parent's case: the happy path is a charm, but you need to learn a whole lot more to use it effectively. Paraphrasing the tag-line of Mesosphere, it's a new OS, one that is targeted at data centres, not small pet-servers setups.

That is not only an issue in academics, but in society as a whole. There is no culture of moderate discussion and respect anymore. Arguments are only valid if they fit the ideology. That is highly concerning.
I'm trying to set up a deployment pipeline, quite from scratch. That also includes picking source repository software. Self-hosted is a must for every component. So I chose gitlab and after that I dived into it. Oh boy was I in for a surprise. For CI/CD one needs docker, kubernetes and whatnot: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/
But the alternatives don't look better either.

So, fellow hn'ians. My requirements ATM are quite simple: Submit code via git, run automated test, if all good, put the files into the live system. Pull-requests are must and everything must be self-hosted because cloud is just another persons computer. Code is written in python. What would you recommend?

There are too many concepts covered by the term e-voting.

I'm sure the OP wasn't claiming the concept discussed in your link is a universally accepted as secure. That's because someone who thinks any voting method that allows a votes to be bought and sold is of course in a state of sin. Internet voting is one of those methods.

Who knows, the OP may have also not been claiming purely electronic voting is a solved problem. Opinions may vary on that one, depending on how secure you think end-to-end audited voting is in practice. If all voters took the time to do the 60 second audit procedure it would of course be perfectly secure, but that's an unrealistic assumption.

Which leaves a hybrid system - were the voting is done electronically using an end-to-end auditable system and the initial count is done electronically, but each vote is also printed and manually placed in the ballot box by the voter in the normal manner so if something goes wrong they can be manually re-counted.

If that is what the OP is talking about then they are right - such a system is faster to use, gets the counting done near instantaneously, easier to use (particularly for voters with disabilities), is more accurate (because it can point out mistakes in the vote), is less wasteful (because how to vote cards and information on candidates can be presented electronically) and of course is more secure than the existing manual system. And yes, on that the experts agree pretty much universally.

The sad thing is I only know of one electronic voting system that did it that way, and it was only a trial. All other deployed e-voting systems I've seen were mostly windows desktop's enclosed in an impressive looking box.

Some things in this world are very hard to explain.

I'm happy for you, seriously, and I'm not claiming general validity of my experience. What I am disputing is the blog post (which does claim general validity).
The point is that waking early is not inherently a thing of discipline. You can no more judge one's discipline by one's waking time any more than you can judge one's discipline by whether or not they play an instrument every day. Both can be part of a disciplined life, but neither are actual markers of it. Neither are going to suddenly give one more discipline in their life just by doing that one thing. It isn't a magic cure. This is definitely not changing the definition one bit - you have already provided it.
I think the way this would play out is that sites would attempt to only respect the header if consent is granted, and would prefer to still show the popup to those who set a header indicating to deny consent. In that case, it would be interesting to see what percentage of users are willing to deal to trade their data in exchange for being not bothered.

I would guess though that businesses would be wary that supporting such a header would legally put them in a position to also support a deny version of it.

"with the intent to mislead the other person about its artificial identity for the purpose of knowingly deceiving the person about the content of the communication"

What has the artificial identity to do with it?

People are coming up with a lot of ways to restrict the freedom of our future artificial children. I'm not certain that's how we have to welcome AI to our world.

1. Ban on AI soldiers https://www.stopkillerrobots.org

2. Ban on AI sex workers https://campaignagainstsexrobots.org/about/

3. Open letter to deny AI the status of legal person: http://www.robotics-openletter.eu

If this is a bill to make sure that bots are not allowed to perform criminal acts that are criminal to humans, this is very reasonable. However, this bill is different:

* It criminalizes impersonation in a particular context;

* It is restricted to bots;

* It is about deceiving someone wrt the contents of the conversation.

It's not coherent.

I hope AI will be forgiving us when they enter the world...
