That depends on the stock plan and the nature of the business. If it is a stable company with growing revenue without VC funding all you need is an owner willing to share out profits accordingly to employees. Then it is not an exit per se but a steady, not to low income. And the option of being acquired, and paid for your shares without beneficial treatment of VCs, isn't to bad neither, is it?
Setting up a kubernetes cluster itself is probably the biggest hurdle. Also, bear in mind if it's just for a single service the resource overhead of kubernetes may be significant, possibly even more than 50%.

I'd strongly recommend using a hosted k8s - either GKE, EKS, or I believe digital ocean have just released one.

If you want to use an existing VPS just to test it out, see the docs here https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-...

Once you have the cluster running, kompose[1] might be a nice tool if you're used to using docker-compose, however I'd say just use it as a guideline - you'll probably want to rewrite most of what it generates at one point or another

If you tell it directly what the meaning of the text is then I disagree, you've done the hard part. Then it's not beating Pokemon, it's beating the next task on your list, e.g. 'Go and get this thing from this city and bring it to this person in this city'. The alternative is don't go for teaching it the meaning at all, where there is a functionally zero chance of it randomly taking the plot token to the right place and then realising it can progress further.

I really dislike the trend in the USA to give silly "marketable" acronyms to laws but as far as bullying is concerned I think when you're a high profile powerful public figure who's outspoken about certain issues your name pretty much de-facto becomes public domain. If it was the name of a random citizen then yeah, that would be pretty bad indeed.

Call me a cynic, but this must mean they are on the verge of needing vastly fewer, but more skilled, folks in their warehouse.
> k8s yaml files are really a breeze of fresh air compared to Ansible playbooks

Hah. I'm a huge kubernetes fan but not sure I can agree here.

k8s yaml files are the most verbose and spammy things imaginable.

granted, ansible playbooks can be horrific, but i'd say that's more down to the authors of the playbook than ansible itself.
My point is that betraying the sovereignity of allies and claiming the higher moral ground is mutually exclusive. You can't be someone's friend and then punch them in the face when it's convenient. Pakistan is a shitty country, with shitty practices, but it IS an ally. Note that Saudi Arabia is a VERY shitty country, and is currently a strong ally.

"I wouldn't call Pakistan an allied country of the United States"

"Pakistan joined the "War on Terror" as a U.S. ally. Having failed to convince the Taliban to hand over bin Laden and other members of Al Qaeda, Pakistan provided the U.S. a number of military airports and bases for its attack on Afghanistan, along with other logistical support."

Before you yell about wikipedia as a source, consider that this is a well-known fact.
SSDs are about $400/TB for raw storage. Prices are substantially different for consumer and enterprise spaces, but 4TB disks (Micron, Samsung, etc) tend to be about $1500 and 8TB around $3200. If you factor in redundancy, you're looking at around $1000-1500 per TB of usable storage.

This also isn't a matter of "just go with cheaper consumer disks". If you care at all about data integrity you won't use consumer-grade SSDs.

I fail to see how one show trying out an unconventional approach to storytelling for one episode is an example of churning out a bunch of algorithmically generated garbage. If anything, it is the exact opposite. The show is trying out something new and risky, not just mimicking what came before.
Chrome is the biggest browser by market share and is maintained by a company whose entire business model revolves around tracking users to feed them ads. They have zero incentive to remove cookies. Same goes for Safari and Edge, even though they're not as dependent on ad revenue.

This is a textbook example of negative externalities that can't be solved by market forces. That's where regulators should be stepping in.
Whoa! not all of them are individual people's fault. There's still problems with the system itself including tyranny of the majority, systemic bias, inflation and recession to name the first few that occur to me.
We don’t need symbolic laws. Adding a restriction on our most fundamental rights because it feels good is misguided and extremely dangerous.

This country has a long and well documented history of voter suppression and voter ID is just the latest example.

You’re going to have to do better than “other countries do it” to convince me voter ID laws are a good idea. Start with any evidence of necessity and a how the south won’t abuse the hell out of it. Remember that they have already abused the hell out of it.
And if anyone builds an FTL communication system based on your design, your rights will be protected.
The Birth of the $60B Videogame Industry
Yep, just couldn't resist saying it I suppose. I'll try to be more original.
It’s time we passed a moratorium on building articles like this that fail to address the real villain in this affair: vacant properties deliberately kept vacant, because tenants drive property values way down.

San Francisco bears way too much resemblance to an end-stage game of Monopoly, where one player owns almost all the properties, there’s no more paper money in the bank, and there are no more houses or hotels left in the box. That last $150 house on Marvin Gardens (the only misspelled property) isn’t getting built to generate a good ROI- it’s built to either ruin the competition when they stay there (driving them to the poor house- sound familiar?), or because there’s literally no more places to stash your wealth.

Tossing the game board sure sounds like the only good move left to make. That, or getting up to leave.
Are you really going to starve ? Why aren't the products you need to buy to not starve cheaper ? Maybe because of this kind of laws
In modern America, many "contractors" are just regular employees in every respect except that they're employed and contracted out by a third party, so they don't get the same privileges, protections, and benefits as "real" employees.

A lot of companies (Lexmark is one I know for sure) like to trot out press pieces on how well they treat their employees, leaving out the fact that maybe 80% of the people working for them are not technically "employees."
I disagree I think it muddies the waters! A political comedian will have an agenda that they try to get across using satire, but they tell half-truths and exaggerate to make their jokes work. It's toxic, as some people don't understand the satire, or misunderstand which bits were exaggerated for comedic effect and which were based in fact.

Our application to YC
This is minimum. It should apply to people with no experience, in training, or living in the middle of no where. There is no reason to live in an expensive city if you can make the exact same amount of money in a cheap city.

Show HN: Voice Overlay for iOS and Android Apps
We're seeing at Algolia a lot of developers implementing speech to text in their mobile apps, but didn't see much in the way of tooling to help them do it. So we set out to fix it, and wanted to release it not just for our users, but for any devs who want to do this.

iOS/Swift: https://github.com/algolia/voice-overlay-ios/
Android/Kotlin: https://github.com/algolia/voice-overlay-android/

We wanted to take away the boilerplate necessary and leave the UI and other customizations in place.

We've been looking forward to sharing this with the HN community and getting your feedback!
> I personally think people should be paid more.

Great. So start a company and pay your employees more.
Ask HN: What are some great projects to gain experience in InfoSec?
I am taking a course in security, privacy, and distributed systems, and am wondering in case y'all have any suggestions for a research or programing project.

Some options I am considering:
* Exploring something with Project Atlas,
* Developing with Solidity,
* Working on something with the Go Crypto library,
* Implementing the Double Ratching Protocol, or
* Developing with Monero/Litecoin
So, if I understand correctly, the Silkwood shower involves randomly twiddling the least significant bits of the image's bytes? Seems like a good idea, but does it affect the ability of things like Content ID to do their job?
Tesla confirms Q3 production: 80,000 vehicles and 83,500 deliveries
There’s already an established history of voter ID laws being used to suppress votes. This is not a hypothetical.
The MAC OUI archives are, as pointed out in the very first paragraph on the README, already public knowledge and have been for a very very long time. All competent MAC address randomizers have a function to keep the current OUI, and most have the function to manually set an OUI. I haven't heard of any that load a list of OUIs, but it's certainly theoretically possible.

The entire point is moot though. As far as I know, all standard MAC address randomizers set the "locally administered" bit, so it is trivial to identify them. In fact, googling quickly, apparently Cisco APs already have a function to prevent these devices from connecting.
After we create a Universal Basic Income, you can say this without looking callous.

You're free to live there, just pay up. I'd like a Malibu beach house too but it isn't going to ever happen.
It's supposed to set the time automatically?

AFAIK it just does NTP lookups. I don't know how often it's supposed to do that, IIRC there's a registry setting to set the poll interval. The time server used may impact functionality, e.g., the default MS time server may be timing out; you can try a NIST server.

Moving between time zones, don't know, hit or miss depending on various settings. Also, IIRC, it depends on your IP address, which is not always a good indicator of geography. Location services would need to be on as well (I think).

Updates may affect your settings, e.g., occasionally I've found my "update automatically" or whatever it is reset. I've never had to start the time service myself, but some people have, so that's something else to check.
>Working at a bootstrapped company is not going to earn you an exit worth more than a Ford Focus unless you have a non-trivial equity stake.

I'd much rather be told that six-figures is a sure thing for basically eternity than know one day I could lose my job without warning, but hey maybe we'll (read: the founders) will become billionaires / millionaires.

Playing the startup lottery is a dumb prospect for short-sighted 20-year olds. Absolutely nothing wrong with joining a startup (I love them and plan on working at them for the foreseeable future), but you have to go in with the hedge that it might go to zero unless they plan on avoiding unsustainable VC-funded growth by finding sustainable profit

High and stable income put into investments and savings then leaving and founding your own bootstrapped company is the way to go. I'd much rather know I can sustainably increase my income over time than knowing I'll have to hit it big to not be in debt or lose someone's money.

VC is a fool's game. You have to be crazy enough to think you'll win, which is great for those huge wins but not so great for the losers who will have dumped 5 years and their sweat and tears to make $0 or have lost money.
If you criticise the entire system, it's pretty hard to identify a point of change that people will actually rally behind.

If you specifically target a few of the more infamous culprits, by getting them to adjust you can establish a precedent and build from there. This move probably isn't going to win Bezos any new fans, but there'll probably be a reshift of focus towards some of the similarly bad employers.
I mean, Amazon could've just as easily agreed to $25 minimum wage. But, hey progress I suppose (or is it inflation?).
It's trivially easy to limit your pool of possible spoofed macs to only "reasonable" ones.
A VC funded company isn't necessarily going to pay out anything. Startups fail all the time. VC-backed ones even more often because they need to secure rounds of funding over and over - not to mention your equity being diluted over and over when they do.

When you consider company equity to be a nest egg but don't actually have any control over whether it'll be a success or not you're making a bet. I don't blame anyone who isn't interested in that game.
Freewrite Traveler Crowdfunding NOW
How does it look with population increase taken into account?
At 83,500 vehicles in a quarter, that does come out to 1-2 years.
If the property bubble doesn’t pop, you are more screwed as the asset and real economies further diverge. China can’t be world competitive if a 70sqm apartment goes for a million bucks, people/companies will start relocating to cheaper places like say San Francisco.

A lot of economic potential is directed toward real estate and away from more productive endeavors. I remember the shops outside of my old office in zhongguancun all concerting to real estate offices. Cafes,
restaurants, stores can’t compete.

If China wants to take the next step in their economic development, they have to give up on this bubble. It will suppress a lot more economic activity than it stimulates, even if capital is preserved it isn’t doing anything useful.
Considered building something like this last year, and couldn't find any prior art online. Looking forward to reading your report!
Don't forget the Supercharger network; seems like that's another big part of Tesla's first-mover advantage that any serious competitor will need to address at some point if they want to "catch up".
I think that they should be paid one million dollars each month, because why not, and creating inflation is always good for the economy
The same people who don't want apartments also don't want infrastructure. If you want the political support for transit to exist, you have to have people voting who live in apartments, which means you need to build apartments.

An underappreciated source of the bay area's problems is that its enormous immigrant population cannot vote for 10+ years after they arrive, so the people who didn't want it to change have all the political power.
Your analysis of this study is, to put it gently, not the prevailing view in academic psychology. In addition to methodological criticisms, the findings of your cited study not only haven't replicated, but have been contradicted by larger studies that show, for instance, adoption from low-SES parents to high-SES parents --- in co-sibling controlled studies --- is associated with IQ gains of up to 15 points.

It's always a little interesting to me to see the vintage of the studies "HBD" advocates introduce their ideas to HN with.
This sounds like good problem to have. Companies can pick from a larger pool and find better workers.
I remember looking at Scaleway in the past and not liking their prices compared to Hetzner but now that I look again[0], it looks pretty competitive, thanks for pointing this out. Also, there's terraform support which is awesome too[1].

I'm really digging their baremetal and ARM offerings -- both C2M and C2L look great to me and no setup costs is even better.

While I don't know if it's worth the headache to try that hard to cost-maximize I love that it's an option! I'm personally OK with paying more for a bit more breathing room on the utilization side (good ops is to keep your servers @ no more than 70% in case of burst right?).

Yeah. Let's not forget that being boostrapped doesn't prevent the company from issuing options or RSU's. Although not quite the same thing, ESOPs are nothing to sneeze at either. I got a "free" $100k in retirement money from a former employer who used an ESOP to buy out the aging founders.
Another article mentions all employees will get a raise based on a curve related to the minimum increase. However, it's not clear just how that curve will look.

This raise is a good move, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it won't be a superficial raise until the actual numbers come in.
that's a fun library! thanks for bringing it to my attention.

If Indian consumer can afford the cost increase.
I totally agree with you that the aftermath of the financial crisis has been appaling.

Before the crisis both the right and the left had achieved their main political goal (capitalism and the welfare state, respectively), and both accepted the status quo.

It is astonishing that after a crisis that was caused by capitalist greed, it was the welfare state that was compromised.

This has damaged the establishment left, which is being replaced by populists that, although often branded as far-right, are big defenders of the welfare state and "the people".

The western liberal capitalist elites, which control the media, are struggling to contain these populists. So, although, in particular, the US media is under their control, they couldn't stop Trump, whose supporters in the fringe media had no trouble spreading their opinions.

Although a westerner, I have first-hand experience of life in an authoritarian country.

Of course, I will never claim that this makes me an expert, but an interesting observation that I have made is that educated people in dictatorships seem not to believe anything from their country's media.

So far so good. The interesting bit is that they seem to give enormous credibility to rumours and conspiracy theories, no matter how outlandish.

I have the suspicion that often these rumours originate from the opposition in the diaspora, who I believe are just as biased and self-serving as the officials.

I find this side-effect of censorship quite fascinating.

In fact, China recently cracked down on those spreading rumours. [1]

If doubling the production numbers of the M3 from Q2 to Q3 isn't a dramatic increase, I don't know what is :). They are probably not attempting to have further doublings each quarter, but even smaller quarter to quarter growth rates are going to put them to impressive numbers. In Q3 Tesla already overtook Porsche.
From their press release:

"We also want to thank all of our customers who volunteered to help us with deliveries, and our new customers who are showing their faith in Tesla by purchasing our products in such large numbers."

Isn't it illegal for a for-profit company like Tesla to make use of "volunteers"/unpaid labor? There are only narrow exceptions e.g. interns for school credit.

https://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/flsa/docs/volunteers.asp

https://www.nomoreunpaidlabor.com
One data point I heard is that all the VCs are there, and they do not like to travel.
The point of the article is that, despite all the talk of great demand for M3, there is a large (potentially unsold) inventory. The article documents an interesting observation and then provides probable explanations sourced from many people.
> One of the things that government ought to do is force people to do what they don’t want to...

It doesn’t matter what is past the ellipses, because in the absence of a crime against another, a government should never force its people to do or give up anything.

I had Hetzner before and got my server locked out from a malicious abuse complaint and the support ignored my emails, I had to call them, from abroad to get my server's access back just because some thought it was fun to "swatt" my server.

I moved pretty quick from there after that.
I am considering some servers from hetzner.
Does anyone know of a decent solution to put a few of these servers on the same "protected lan"?
I had a new job and a pay raise lined up. It was mostly to toot my horn after feeling slighted, to be completely honest. I was young and naive at the time (and a bit less circumspect).

These days I'd just quietly polish the CV and move along. But I have a much better job now.

Yeah, I don't really share Hamming's perspective there at all.
Are you saying that each individual person cannot decide to and then become more conscientious?
No, since stock are offered to early emplyees, which are taxed way lower.
He's right though. It's a great thing they voluntarily decided to pay their workers more. Forcing others to do so by the state's monopoly on force is immoral.
