On the other hand, you constantly see people defend ultra rich CEOs by dividing their salary across all employees in the company and showing how it would only be a raise of a few hundred a year. Those defenders then claim that's barely a raise so why take from the CEO?

When you are minimum wage even 100 extra a year would have absolutely helped. I thinks it's fairly disengenous for any company to be raking in billions in profits while employees need public assistance to survive.

Yea, you can suddenly double your work forces wage, but you can still improve the situation.

Ask HN: Best LinkedIn Profile/Resume service?
I have used LinkedIn Makeover before at a cost of $500 but I was not impressed. It amounted to basically having someone perform the labor of cleaning up my profile...which is not what I am looking for. Most of the services you find online feature a process where a profile writer collaborates with you and sends a draft a week later for you to review. They expect you to provide feedback. What I want is someone who knows the tech industry inside out and can build an amazing LinkedIn profile and resume that creates a coherent brand. I can't provide any feedback that influences the final product because I don't know what I'm doing. That's why I need a service. Willing to drop some major coin if the service is clearly top notch. Help!
Apple and Amazon probably have a small set of TS/SCI cleared employees who dealt with this mess. It’s likely 99.99% of the employees at those firms had no idea what was going on. The switching out of thousands of compromised servers was probably made to look like routine maintenance or upgrades and the whole affair was kept secret. That is, until some high level government employees intentionally leaked it to the media, probably under direction of the White House to garner support for a more aggressive stance on China - the trade war in particular. Read between the lines.
They might volunteer to lie, though.

It's only a problem if you let it become a problem. Just like with code style, naming and formatting, the DI configuration should be enforced during code review.

Spaghetti code would not pass code review, so why would you allow spaghetti configuration.

In the code bases I work in I know if I need to know what Logger is injected I need to look at the LoggerConfiguration class to see which Logger implementations are used in production, staging and dev.

And even if I don't know the name of the LoggerConfiguration file, I have an IDE that can get me from injected property to configuration in one click.
The main reason is that I've had to re-implement it on the server side 2 times now by sheer "luck", as well as I feel like i've just hit more of the edge cases than most just because of the areas I ended up working in (which just happened to be a handful of canvas-based apps where a couple of them needed to call out to unknown 3rd parties and I had to be very careful about using opaque responses as they would ruin the canvas).

Maybe I'm just full of myself though!

> quite literally anything can be published

I've got a stack of rejected papers that beg to differ.

> Isn't the point that they serve as a basic filter for obvious noise?

Yeah, and obvious noise is usually rejected. But sometimes it is not so obvious what the noise is, and that's why the scientific process is bigger than the peer review system.

> Isn't the point that they serve as a basic filter for obvious noise?

Totally, there is a lot to fix about it. But if you really want to put your effort into changing the system, I don't think you should focus on peer review. Destroying the business model of journals is where I would start.

In 2015 roughly 85% of households had a laptop or PC[1]. iPhone's marketshare in the U.S. is roughly 40%[2].
Even if you assume that all those without a computer at home have an iPhone at home, that still means that 62.5% of iPhone users have a computer at home, and that's just unthinkable.

It should be obvious that the vast majority have iPhone users have computers at home and it's most likely was even more pronounced in 2007.

Also, broadband is irrelevant to the discussion.

>But maybe I envision my side project turning into full-time startup some day. Maybe I see all the news about Kubernetes and think it would be cool to be more familiar with it. Nah, probably too expensive. Oh wait, I can get something running for $5? Hey, that's pretty neat!

Exactly. Or maybe "I would love to advance my career and work for a larger company that is using Kubernetes, and I can get some hands on experience without breaking the bank."
Trading and to an extent, savings.

Bought Bitcoin worth about $30k over time which turned into $120k after a bull run after a awhile and I put my foot into leverage trading without knowing what I was doing.
Kept losing and got margin called until I emptied myself.
If I had kept it without a single trading, it would've been around $300k today.

That gave me a pretty bad blow when my company went into not so good state and my income took a hit, I no longer had any spare money and I've learned to trade after I know what I'm doing and split your savings instead of going all on your single favorite financial vehicle.
Plus, they gain nothing by admitting that China hacked them. Your data is there and all.
I work as an engine mechanic full time, and im learning programming as a hobby. Kubernetes to me is like the shade-tree mechanic vs the professional.

Professional mechanics use high grade tools that can cost thousands of dollars each. We have laser alignment rigs, plasma cutters, computer controlled balancing and timing hardware, and high performance benchmarking hardware that can cost as much as the car you're working on. We have a "Kubernetes" like setup because we service hundreds of cars a month.

The shade-tree mechanic wrenching on her fox body mustang on the other hand? her hand-me-down tool box and a good set of sockets will get her by with about 90% of what she wants to do on that car. she doesnt need to perform a manifold remap, so she doesnt need a gas fluid analyzer any better than her own two ears.

I should also clarify that these two models are NOT mutually exclusive. If i take home an old Chevy from work, I can absolutely work on it with my own set of tools. And if the shade-tree wants to turn her mustang into a professional race car, she can send it to a professional "kubernetes" type shop that will scale that car up proper.
That's a lot of unsubstantiated assumptions. It's also explicitly denied by both Amazon:

>It’s untrue that AWS knew about a supply chain compromise

and Apple:

>we have conducted rigorous internal investigations based on their inquiries and each time we have found absolutely no evidence to support any of them.

There's no in "between the lines" or ambiguous wording there, they flat out deny it. Unless this small set of "TS/SCI cleared employees" worked completely on their own without reporting to anybody else in the company this means that they are lying in these statements.

It's possible that they do just that but it's a bit strange to me that they wouldn't find an easier way to deflect the issue without using such a strong and explicit language. Something vague like "we've been working with the authorities and have no reason to believe that any sensitive information has been leaked etc..." would be easier to spin if it turns out that somebody can prove that these attacks took place.

Surely if the scale of the attack was as large as reported by Bloomberg in their article it should be possible to find one of these backdoored boards in the wild? Or at least have testimonies by employees in these company that could testify that batches of motherboards were suddenly replaced for no obvious reasons?

And if trade war is the reason why deny it now? What do they have to gain from that, they're the victims in this story as far as I can tell.

I emphatically agree.

The policy, cultural struggle I'm currently having is we won't let the elderly die in peace, with some dignity.

The growing acceptance of hospice and euthanasia, during my life time, has been very encouraging.

But what happens when people are kept alive after they lost their agency?

My immediate family has two people in a nursing home. The sicker of the two is essentially a vegetable and is not permitted to die (feeding tube, other heroic efforts). The some what less sicker is also trying to die, but at least still remembers his own name, can return greetings.

If either of these two men were lucid, they'd be livid to learn they're still here.

There's a guy down the hall who hasn't had any external contact in 11 years. No friends, no family. He's a complete vegetable. It's horrifying.

I've instructed my family that when I'm no longer able to converse, when I need someone to manage my hygiene, to let me die. I do not want to become a long term burden on the living.

I'm so worried about it, I've been researching ways to kill oneself, should the need arise.
Wow! What is the total number of available fonts?
Declaring "I need an ILogger" is the easy part. The complicated part is the configuration related to which ILogger implementation will be injected at runtime.

This can depend on several things like configuration properties, environment variables, libraries loaded, feature flags enabled, etc

edit: also, you don't always want to manually pass the argument to every function. At application startup you typically want to build a full graph of objects with all the dependencies "wired up". The big complicated frameworks (Spring for example) read in a bunch of configuration, resolve all dependencies, and then construct the graph for you.
Meh. Not really, at least not in the US. I mean, I suppose you could treat it as sort of a support group if you want to, but for the most part, it's a big social club and not much more. I stayed in for two years, and then didn't bother to renew. But then, I already have a group of friends, and a family, so there really wasn't anything for me there.
Payment systems are typically better defended than by just a sticker.

It’s not surprising to see a ton of tamper switches, vibration/shock sensors, even light sensors. And they’re all powered by an internal batter and separate MCU that will brick the device upon open.
There's still places that happens in the US. There's outlier cops who still get to know their community, people who think cops can do no wrong even when watching a video of a cop murdering someone, or if you're in a small town and socially accepted.

On the whole though it seems that trust in police has gone down since the 90s. Look at popular cop procedurals from then like Law and Order. I watched a few episodes and youd see little things that showed the cultural view at the time. For instance in one episode, they portrayed a new detective as a bad partner and hopelessly naive because he wanted a warrant before breaking open someone's car so that the evidence was admissable. The episode painted it as him getting in the way of catching that criminal because the cops just _knew_ he was at fault and they were cops so of course they were doing the right thing.

Every episode I saw had large violations of rights bit portrayed the cops as the good guys and I don't think you'd see that sort of portrayal on any modern US media

You often end up creating a new DSL for your business logic, but because most of us aren’t language designers our DSLs end up being worse than what ever language the project is written in.

>So just stop it. Police "gung-ho" attitudes are not a US problem.

They are not a US-only occurrence. But they very much are a US problem (and a relative rarity elsewhere).

>And it's not limited to the US.

No, like incarceration is not limited to the US. But the US has 25% of the world's prison population for just 4% of its total population.

Something occurring elsewhere doesn't mean anything. Most things will happen elsewhere too, even mass shootings.

But some places are the undisputed capitals of those things, by a far margin, and instead of putting one's head in the sand, people should acknowledge the problem.

>What IS different however, is that the odds of anyone actually successfully mounting a legal challenge to such an officer afterwards are WAY higher in the US.

LOL.
I don't know that you're refuting the idea that you hold Breitbart in higher esteem than most people by saying you see it as the equal of the New York Times (yes, sure, I have my own issues with the Times, but it is a more serious operation than Breitbart).
> sometimes overwhelming show of force lets everybody go home alive (yes, the offender as well), rather than allowing a situation to escalate to a point where deadly force has to be used.

Maybe sometimes, but I suspect in the vast majority of cases, a show of force is what causes the situation to escalate to the point where deadly force has to be used.

Who are you more likely to shoot? A policeman pointing a loaded gun at you, or one with gun holstered talking calmly (but maybe firmly) to you. Pulling a gun out automatically leads to a "shoot first or risk getting shot" situation.

I'm not sure it's self-dealing. Self dealing constitutes a breach of the fiduciary relationship they have on behalf of another party[1]. If they're the donor, direct the DAFs funds, and are the principal in the hedge fund or charity, there's no fiduciary relationship on behalf of another party.

It may be fraud, but I'm not sure that's true either. In the hedge fund scenario I'm not how it'd be fraudulent. The money has to go back to the DAF at some point - the hedge fund is an investment vehicle.

In the charity scenario how is it fraudulent? I don't see it but could be missing something.

I feel that Kubernetes has a lot of "upfront" cost that needs to be tackled - containerization, manifests for all the pods you want to set up, potentially setting up the right persistent storage if needed, user access, logging, etc. And this is still if you use a "hosted" solution with Amazon/Google/Microsoft, if you set it up yourself there is a ton more complexity.

Using something you are familiar with, even if it's just a 10-line bash script, a simple virtual private server and the adding an nginx config there, is usually faster than having to orchestrate everything. If you want to invest the time in setting up Kubernetes for all your personal projects, it would probably make sense.

Basically, is it worth it? https://xkcd.com/1205/
Worked in the payment industry for years. Visa/Mastercard do absolutely nothing to verify that companies are not storing Pin codes. The HSM is required for communication with them only.
The graphics - the opening animation and the penny are some of the most informative illustrations i've seen in an article.
Those are universal PCI council rules the fact that the terminal runs android doesn't mean anything it still needs to be compliant with the PIN entry device requirements as well as PTS and POI requirements depending on the exact nature of the device:

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/pos_ped_secur...

https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI_PTS_POI_S...

The requirement for the tamper proofings is literally the first requirement in the PED standard:

A1 Vendors must comply with all components of A1.

A1.1

The PED uses tamper-detection and response mechanisms that
cause the PED to become immediately inoperable and result in the
automatic and immediate erasure of any secret information that may
be stored in the PED, such that it becomes infeasible to recover the
secret information. These mechanisms protect against physical
penetration of the device by means of (but not limited to) drills, lasers,
chemical solvents, opening covers, splitting the casing (seams), and
using ventilation openings, and there is not any demonstrable way to
disable or defeat the mechanism and insert a PIN-disclosing bug or
gain access to secret information without requiring an attack potential
of at least 25 per PED, exclusive of the IC card reader, for
identification and initial exploitation as defined in Appendix B of the
PCI POS PED DTRS
Yeah, but this way we can end blaming the computer for not stoping us.

I completely agree it's overkill to run your own cluster. That'd be good for a learning experience, but way too complex to use/maintain otherwise.

However I read somewhere you had experience with Kubernetes, right? That means there is no extra work to learn the technology.

Now let's take your blog as an example. I'm gonna guess there's an official Docker image for whatever software you use and you could create an image, deployment + service + ingress in less than an hour for it (pretty much every example out there is about how to setup a blog, heh).

If you have to do all that manually through SSH, I'd argue it takes pretty much the same time and the complexity is the same. You will simply change the tools/concepts but won't be caught by manual gotchas.

Does the NRA have a mailing list where these kinds of "arguments" are promoted?

Not being facetious here, I'm merely asking because 1-2 weeks ago somebody else made exactly the same point in another US gun-violence discussion I participated in.

And just like you, he didn't support his claim with any numbers.

But even at first glance, this argument does not check out at all. It basically argues that all the extra gun violence in the US is the result of people buying guns only for the purpose of committing suicide.

Yeah, no, not buying that. Suicide is an issue, but it's not that big of an issue that it alone accounts for the massive gun violence outlier the US represents among developed countries.

Especially in the context of prescription meds also being way more easily and readily available in the US (opiate crisis) than many other places, I find it hard to believe that all US Americans simply prefer firearms to pills for their "suicidal needs".
