I would be surprised if the 5% that goes toward computing didn't knock down transportation from 35% to 30% through improved logistics alone. My gut feeling is computers are a net positive energy wise.

Also what percentage of that 5% goes to mining bitcoin, or re-downloading jQuery for the 5000th time?
I work for one of those tech giants that I think falls into your "pro" category in a role that you could call dev ops. I used to work in a much smaller startup. The comparison of a tech giant's stack to large, growth stage startup tech stacks is like comparing trains to trucks. It's a qualitatively different problem because the difference between a few thousand and a few hundred thousand servers is Murphy's law.

In other words, I think there are two answers to your question of "what do the pros use?" The first answer is "Kubernetes, because that's the right tool for the job." The second answer is "My product division has an internal team the size of a growth stage startup, and it's specifically dedicated to solving server scaling problems, and that's just my product division."

Another analogy would be the question "how would an F1 team solve this problem?" One answer is "you don't need an F1 team for that", and the other is "first, hire an F1 team, then have them build all of the custom tooling the F1 car needs."

It is a really weak argument for Kubernetes for personal projects when the only realistic scenario is when the personal project is to learn Kubernetes.

It's worth noting that licenses can represent assets of a company and have value in liquidation scenarios. Someone else looking for a license may just buy your failing company for $11m and get a $13m license.
Maybe a little harsh, but I agree. I enjoyed the session, but didn’t feel like it related much to the topic.

Maybe that’s part of the point though, it’s do whatever it takes to keep it alive while finding PMF, reading every API log, doing on-site installs, etc.
There most likely are classified legal constructs that compel speech. You see that with the PRISM denials by Apple and Google.
The median full-time wage in the US is near $50,000 now. That median is a person with two years of college or less.

If you have a four year degree with ten years or more of experience (eg you're around 35 years old), in almost anything to do with eg engineering, getting to $100,000 or close to it, is not difficult.

The average salary for a person with a bachelor's degree, in the engineering field, first year out of school, is around $65,000 for 2018. Emphasis that that's the first year income. Petroleum engineers with a bachelor's degree earn an average of more than $80,000 their first year out of school.

The parent's premise isn't very far out of line, even if it glosses over that the effort required is considerable, and a lot of people simply do not want to be engineers (with the best six figure alternatives for volume being healthcare and sales/biz-dev).
> But maybe I envision my side project turning into full-time startup some day.

The state of the art for cluster management will probably something completely different by then. Better to build a good product now and if you really want to turn it into a startup, productionize it then.

> Maybe I see all the news about Kubernetes and think it would be cool to be more familiar with it.

If learning Kubernetes _is_ your side project, then perfect go do that. Otherwise its just a distraction, taking more time away from actually building your side project and putting it into building infrastructure around your side project.

If what you really wanted to build is infrastructure, then great, you're doing swell, but if you were really trying to build some other fun side app, Kubernetes is just a time/money sink in almost all cases IMO.
This may be the first time in the history of the internet a statement from Facebook has ever been held up as an example of honesty and transparency from a corporation in America.

The GDPR has already called out Facebook for lack of info in its response to the breach: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/02/facebooks-muddy-account-brea...

Not sure why you'd pick that example.

Thanks for that first link, very enlightening. I had no idea. The sort of model I might read about in some dystopian novel and dismiss as thoroughly unbelievable if it weren't set in the most broken banana republic.

Somehow, perhaps with the best of intentions, you've ended up with a system perfectly designed for abuse and corruption.

Having read that it even puts some of the more extreme GDPR assumptions and discussions into a somewhat different light.

Is either party ever likely to have chance to fix it, and maybe distance police from proceeds of fines etc?

So one thing, it mentions that it is JS dependence free. How are you encrypting the files client side then?

If you are encrypting the files server side, then that is NOT E2E encryption.
This seems like an interesting prospect. I wish the U.S. kept better data so we could more easily see if there is a correlation.
Don't you mean that the other way around? "Any C++, Java, or Python, or <insert your lang here> program will eventually be written in a Lisp-based DSL that generates that language" ? Seems far more accurate to me than to claim that all LISP functionality is derivable in (more rigid, less flexible) language. What prompted you to say this in the first place? If LISP is the mother language, of course all the rest are but a subset.
I genuinely say this because I want to be helpful and not because I am trying to be snarky:

Search past HN posts and even Google the topic. People have written a lot about this, and nothing that will be said here will be any more useful without more context on your situation...

If you really want feedback to YOUR post on HN, I’d say to rewrite it with more context on your idea, background, and what you are looking for in a co-founder (skillset, money?, location, commitment, etc.).
GDPR has learned from the cookies law:
- you cannot 'comply' by forcing the user to accept

The jury is still out, but it is only a few months since GDPR is in place.
> Average IQ among intuitor types (xNxx; MBTI)

Please stop giving MBTI mind share, it has repeatedly been proven to be non-scientific. The creators of the test had minimal to no training in psychology, the underlying basis of the test are not based on sound theory, and test results for a given person are not stable across multiple retakes over medium periods of time.

MBTI was sold to corporations as a psuedo-scientific way to make employment decisions. It explains everything in a nice, simple way, that makes everyone feel good about their "strengths".

> Synthesis usually starts at 130+. Companies either don't like it, or want it cheaper.

MBTI doesn't represent people's actual personality. I am supposed to be INTP, yet I enjoy managing teams of people, I am capable of standing up and entertaining a room full of people, and I am able to play long term internal politics to help ensure the project I am on can stay on track.

I also haven't seen MBTI used, anytime recently, by companies as a management tool. I have seen other pseudo-science hackery in place, but they almost always has the same attitude towards results MBTI does, all positives, no negatives.

Actually a friend's company did recently go through a corporate psych test that was brutal in its results. People got results back that said things like "you try to control and manipulate other people around you to get results" and "you are insecure in your work and that causes you to lash out at others."

It was hilarious to see honest results being given to people in a corporate setting, not what people are used to. :)

For an actual scientific measurement of personality, Big5 is where to go right now.
That's the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. He's talking about the observer effect, which is a different thing entirely. If you want some background on it, google the double slit experiment. This isn't an endorsement of Campbell's claims above, of course, just some clarity on what he's talking about.
That may not matter if it's based on how many neurons are firing to read it as though a regular font.

If it needs more CPU usage maybe the reinforcement is stronger.

I'd love to see some studies on the effect to give something a little more concrete than a pretty graph.
You could come up with some loose measure for each of those. Genes: IQ, hard work: educational attainment, sacrifice: hours worked. Someone with ~110 IQ, college degree, and willing and able to work 60 hours a week is going to have an extremely high probability of achieving upper middle class. The biggest obstacle for that person is going to be health issues.
SQL Server: Facebook Prophet and SQL Server Machine Learning Services
Cool! I built something very similar in Python for a client project, for filling docx forms from a JSON key-value. My approach was a bit different. In order to preserve formatting, I did not want to put the templating language in the document itself. So I used commenting functionality. The user highlights the region to insert text, and puts the templating logic in the comment. Interesting to see another implementation! Thanks
> But I think we are now beyond the point where we could say "major tech companies would never lie together with the US security apparatus on a matter of public importance". They would, if they think it's worth it.

This is just conspiracy theory thinking. You offer no evidence for this incredible assertion. Some companies have previously collaborated with the government, generally without explicitly lying, but we cannot jump to the conclusion that all companies would voluntarily lie in a coverup conspiracy -- which, by the way, opens them up to investor lawsuits and risks destroying their branding, for no good reason. We also do know that the government cannot legally compel companies to lie, only to remain silent.

I'm also asking for sources here.

I'm really hoping you have some, because intuitively this seems very true for me.
I am not sure how I feel about this.

I don't have strong opinions about either organization, but this feels like a situation where diversity might be a strength. The JS ecosystem is really, really big and I kind of like having stakeholders in it that are pursuing different goals and that can go in different directions.

Fragmentation can be a weakness, but so can consolidation. And I can not stress this enough -- the JS ecosystem is massive. There are so many different parties that have interests that should be represented. Having multiple foundations might be a more effective way to do that?

Or maybe I'm just worried over nothing, I dunno. It just feels a little weird.
SAQs don’t involve QSAs.

It's the tools and their defaults that leads me to my biggest criticism with the article. On darcs something like "stacked diffs" makes a ton of sense because the UI was built for it from top down, and cherry-picking is _magic_ (when it works), including that it tracks your dependencies between commits/patches for you.

In git, we have a dependency tracker in the DAG, but it requires the work of branching to make use of its power. In git, cherry-picking is a footgun with all sorts of potential problems. I've seen far too much work lost to bad rebases to trust junior developers with cherry-picking and rebase-heavy workflows in git. (Yes, I realize that a lot of people disagree and a lot of people use very heavy rebase workflows, this is just my opinion that in general rebase workflows are more danger than I want in my source control, as the resident source control guru on many of the teams I've worked on.)

Pull Requests actually work really well with this dependency tracking. If I create a PR for the database changes, a PR for the REST API changes, and a PR for the UI work that depends on both of the previous two, and all of those PRs are well merged branches (no rebases) using the DAG to encode dependencies, my reviewers have the option to review those in any order. If they review the two smaller subset PRs first, as that content merges to master most good PR tools simplify the remaining UI PR to just the UI stuff not in master. If they review and merge everything all at once in the giant UI change PR, then most good PR tools will automatically mark the other two PRs as merged and complete, no work needed for individual review of the two subset PRs. The choice there is left to the reviewers, and the tools just do the right thing, whatever the preference the reviewers have.

I'm by no means an expert, but I really don't think it would take much. Cloning is being used in polo[1], which suggests that it isn't terribly difficult. Once you have the egg cell you just use in vitro fertilization, which has been possible for decades.

It's also worth noting that in the U.S. neither therapeutic nor reproductive cloning are banned at the Federal level, although reproductive cloning is banned in ~15 states. So any scientist participating would not be breaking any laws.

Frankly it wouldn't surprise me if some wealthy people have cloned themselves in secret. I imagine that there are a decent number of scientists who wouldn't find it unethical.

To be honest, I'm probably far younger than most on this thread and it's quite easy to dismiss my naive interpretation of a system that may? have the best of intentions but fails to materialize the outcomes sought due to individuals without a greater collective understanding of all parts micro-optimize their own actions guided by intuitive emotional reactions to the detriment of those trying to be helped by creating incentives that retrospectively do have the anthropomorphized _persona_ of malice even if the individuals themselves are deluded only through incompetence and existential horror of viewing their own upcoming mortality through the lens of their decaying elders into thinking they're helping or are at most forced to accept the reality that the burden is too large for themselves and must resort to society for support in handling the situation and absolution of burgeoning guilt through dilution of responsibility.

If you happen to wonder "what went wrong with this guy that caused him to become so jaded?" and contend that "he doesn't speak for all of us, I'm different!" well I will say it is very true that I am sort of an anomaly in current sentiment. Most people do not like how I end up deconstructing the world I perceive and view my analyses as ususally extremist, having getting kicked out (or desperate attempts at 'rehabilitative' disciplinary action) of nearly every organization I've ever been a part of from gatherings of family and friends to Sunday schools and churches, scouting, schools, and companies alike. I realize due to the repeating pattern the problem is most likely seated in myself, but if you're listening you still may like to entertain the idea that the superficial gloss we paint the world in vain attempting to heal our souls could in fact only be concealing a necrotic core. Maybe not out of actual belief in such a situation, but only to check due diligence off the list and set your mind at ease that judgement of our times will be favorably looked upon and your decisions were made with principled reason rather than excuses of being led astray by deception.
An important point. I'm sure many young males might be classified scholar-sexual under similar classification methods due to similarly innocuous erections during class.

The logical extension of this is to embed a sleeper chip between board layers that can be activated by a radio signal, then try to disperse it widely within the DND.

Any serious conflict with China would then look like the first day of the second Cylon war...

Of course, they would probably have to get a Chinese boat really close to a US warship a few times beforehand to test the system. All they would need to do is to receive some sort of a ping back to confirm receipt of the signal. Could be simple as an innocuous visit to a particular page of a website.

It would probably look like brinksmanship or posturing, or a navigation error of some sort.
The basic idea has to do with a concept called processing fluency. Studies have shown that the harder your brain has to work to process the information, the more likely you are to absorb it -- at least to a point.

One recent study that manipulated processing fluency using a hard-to-read font is "Fluency and the detection of misleading questions: Low processing fluency attenuates the Moses illusion," Social Cognition, 2008.

The study found that people who read information in a hard-to-read font were better at spotting a certain category of error than people who read the same information in an easy-to-read font.

(Incidentally, this study is one that I adapted for my book "Experiments for Newlyweds: 50 Amazing Science Projects You Can Perform With Your Spouse," due out in April. So if you know any couples who'd like to try it out together, it makes a great wedding gift!)

There are a couple aspects of Kafka. The primary aspect that most people use it for is as a distributed log. If you are familiar with message buses like RabbitMQ, a distributed log can serve the same "make data easily available to a variety of consumers role" while also having some interesting properties about how long the data lives in the log etc.

Wallaroo applications are often consumers of data that is read off of Kafka. Wallaroo applications can also get data from a variety of other sources including message queues, databases, files etc.

Wallaroo is more like Kafka streams than Kafka.

Wallaroo is a processing engine, taking data/events an event at time and doing running computations against it. Those computations could be creating aggregations, monitoring as part of an alerting system or a variety of other cases.

You can imagine Wallaroo as being in the same space as Spark, Flink, Storm etc. A big difference is that Wallaroo API targets Python users. Wallaroo has an embedded Python interpreter that allows the developer to use any of the standard Python libraries: Pandas, Numpy, whatever.

Another key diffence is in how we do clustering. Wallaroo was designed to make it easy to create ad-hoc processing clusters. We have a use case where based on incoming data arriving (large csv file over http), we can spin up a Wallaroo cluster (powered by Pulumi!) in AWS and have a number of Wallaroo workers that process the data. That sort of "on the fly" clustering is something that many tools have a hard time with. You can see it in action as part of our "Scale Independence" video at https://vimeo.com/270509076.

Not sure if that answers you question. Hopefully it does at least a little bit.
You can fake a lot of things so what? That’s not the point, also PCI DSS is pretty crappy but the hardware vendor, payment provider and P2PEE certifications are a completely different story good luck faking it.

Sure you can send fake devices to be certified and sell something completely different but the same can be said for any certification and if you get caught boy or boy...
