IMO, theoretically, it can be done. In practice, the consensus seems to gravitate to no, do not do that.

My experience is limited to on premises deployments, but here it goes: it's way better to isolate with different clusters, not only for different clients or business units, but several per user (think, for instance, infrastructure upgrades).

I think that standing up clusters these days is better a much better proposition than just a year ago. For instance, at $WORK, we extensively use rke and we can set things up in minutes in a fairly automated way (Terraform & Ansible.)

Edit: forgot one bit: I know about namespaces, RBAC, network policies, etc. I still think, in this point in time, that multiple smaller dedicated clusters are better than one huge beast. Maybe the story will get better over time.
Already a lot. I'll try my luck with that :)

Yeah, data.table provides already significant speedup vs dplyr - so much that the "better" syntax of dplyr makes no sense anymore when you have to deal with very large datasets. But maybe FastR can somewhat change that?

It doesn't. It's just RGB camera + front-facing radar based lane keeping and traffic aware cruise control. It will also change lanes when you signal, but that's just augmented lane keeping.

It's frustrating and dangerous how many people don't realize the massive difference there is between Autopilot and autonomy. It's mostly Tesla's fault in how they market it IMO.

The sheer lack of nuance in just chemicals is ignorant and inherently leads to foolishness. It is about as good a framework as trying to decide if binary 1s or 0s are more dangerous. Bioaccumulation is totally peripheral to inherit toxicity although it makes toxins more problematic. Drinking too much colloidal silver will turn you blue-gray but it won't kill you.

Reminds me of "organic pesticides" being treated as rhetorically as safer because they are easier to understand despite it being the exact opposite and including heavy metals. They are broad mechanism toxins that effect essentially everything organic while synthetics are tailored to do things like disrupt very specific proteins that aren't even found in the vertabrates - much less humans themselves. Preferring known dangerous heavy metals over a remote possibility that something far safer and biodegradable that /might/ have something unknown is FUD just as sure as a known embezzler running for reelection saying his opponent might raise taxes.

Defeatism is endemic to comment threads like this. I'm not sure what the purpose of these comments is, to be honest. If anything, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Let me offer an alternative point of view. Yes, the climate will be irreparably damaged. Yes, lots of humnas will suffer. These things seem to be unavoidable. The harm to both our planet and its citizens is happening as we speak. However, the scale to which this occurs is in our control.

This is an all-hands-on-deck sort of scenario. Everyone will need to pitch in, whatever they can, however they can. Travel less internationally. Reduce (or eliminate if possible) your meat and animal product consumption. Buy less. Vote for candidates that support renewable energy and environmentally friendly initiatives. There's a thousand ways an individual can help by voting with their wallet, their time, and their participation in their political system.

Everything you do, every choice you make today and for the rest of your life, potentially affects the lives of future generations. In my opinion, the most harmful thing you can do, is choosing to do nothing.

Edit: Seeing this is Hacker News, I know a lot of people are going to be commenting with technical suggestions - lab grown meats, renewable energy sources, carbon capture, geoengineering etc. I am very much in favour of these solutions. However, (as far as I know) none of these currently exist at such a scale or level of sophistication so as to make my initial point irrelevant.
Doesn't the CIA have a contract with Amazon to use AWS?
I'm willing to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt, but the bar is higher.

At this point I can't tell who is being unreasonable anymore -- this is exactly how cartels work, join/cooperate or face consequences. TomTom paid licensing fees in 2009 -- they lost that fight with Microsoft... When Microsoft joined OIN, did it return the licensing money TomTom paid adjusted for inflation?

Again, I'm capable of looking at this optimistically -- this move is better than the status quo, but it is not enough to budge my skepticism given the damage done over the years by Microsoft.
That R is still around while not enjoying the wide array of benefits of general-purpose programming languages is impressive. It must truly have pluses that Python users don't even dream about.

We're way off topic at this point. I think the iPhone 4's video quality would be better.
Yes, seriously. I would still think it's totally unjustifiable as a 'helpful' change, but at least it'd be causing problems like "hey, this install failed, how do I fix it?" rather than "where's all my stuff?"

That, and I'm just a bit shocked that "the folder should be empty, so delete it" didn't just naturally make people think "obviously I should check if that's true first". Even if it's not a total fix, the failure to add that is it's own layer of screwup.
>Could you talk about what those projects are about and what languages/frameworks you are using?

Sure, I'm working with Angular now. I might switch to Vue.js because I'm not crazy about Angular and I've heard very good things about Vue, but I'm also wondering if I'd like Angular more once I reached proficiency in it.

>What's next? Are you looking to start another business or taking some time to just learn and work on projects that you find interesting?

The project I want to get back to is a keto recipe search engine (https://ketohub.io/). I put it on hold for other projects, but I have more ideas for it and it's a good project for me to stretch my web development skills.

I may also consider projects targeting customers in Western Mass that nobody else is really going after. When I tell people here I'm a developer, many tell me that the software they're forced to use at work is terrible and old but there's no replacement, so maybe I'll find one I can tackle.

>Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your blog posts and forum posts on IH. Good luck!

I'd guess the goal is more to keep this list from coming up in public records searches than to serve as a truly effective disguise. I can't imagine the datacenter employees are expected to lie to everyone about where they work.

EPITA student here, the thing is the majority of the student are not interested by those area, the first half are more interested going to FB, Google, Nvidia etc... or smaller companies but tech oriented than going to big telecom or medical companies like you said. The other half goes to more corporate / consulting companies because it pays well. Like you said Industry does not promote their sector in our school so no one knows about them or what they offer.

It's true that EPITA is definetely more CS oriented, but we are definetely capable of designing / building system (in IT), less in telecom / medical and even less in automotive.The reason is really simple it's because we are not passionate about these industries .

Btw EPITA is an engineering school not EPITECH so you can't really compare them they are just part of the same group.

I strongly and passionately disagree. I’ve read many many startup books. They are all completely and utterly useless in my opinion.

If you want to know something specific say accounting, read a book about that specific area. If you want to know more about the “general” aspects of startups - listen to interviews of founders about which unique chellenges they faced.

I strongly discourage anyone starting a business to not listen to Sam Altman’s advice or anyone who gives generic “strategic” advice. These books are akin to “How to become a millionaire”. Yes, I’m talking about books such as “Lean Startup”, etc.

You get so much value from reading about specific aspects than from general startup books. Learn how each LEGO piece works and learn it well. You know, you’re going to have to rely on these specifics to actually get your business rolling. Strategic advice - you can consult your friends, discuss and determine the best course of action through your own acumen based on data that you have. That startup book on your shelf is not going to help at all.
I am in NYC, and hiring for a place that pays very well, possibly above FAANG salaries. I see a lot of resumes. A lot of those resumes are from Google, but very very few are from Facebook, and I find that to be a very curious thing. FBs office is not quite as large as Google's in NYC, but they have been around awhile and we are hiring out of both coasts and offer relocation.

I am not sure if it is a quirk of our recruiting pipeline, but this seems to be an indicator that FB is a potentially better place to work.
It was on a curve. If you were already making over $15, you still got a raise.

edit: If you were making under $15, you could still be bumped higher than $15 as well. They raised the base rate and then there are still modifiers on top of that.
That's a great video. Around the 14 minute and 40 second point they discuss briefly ballistic return but they don't really put any details. A few minutes before that they do talk about the return. That's actually the best video I've ever seen about the specifics of returning from space. Thank you so much.

No.

The government needs to step in to prevent a total collapse. When the government refused to step in to rescue Lehman Brothers (precisely because of the moral hazard problem you allude to), all hell broke loose.

Since the expectation (correctly) is that government will step in, we need regulation (before a crash) that limits risk taking, for example capital requirements (=equity) for banks.

Your narrative has been, in my opinion, comprehensibly refuted by, for example, Anat Admati & Martin Hellwig in *The Bankers' New Clothes" [1], or Krugman already in 2008 [2]. An overview over the debate is given in [3], including this quote from Krugman:

> “for any public figure to go with the Congress-did-it argument at this stage is for him to reveal both that he is grossly ignorant about the central policy issue of the day and that he gets his ‘analysis’ from right-wing flacks.”

This is not to say that government policy has been perfect; but taking the government out of the equation is not going to fix anything.

While things look gloomy, that pretty much ignores geoengineering as a possibility. Chapter Four of the IPCC report [0] discusses things that could be done to offset or slow down this process. Besides renewable/nuclear energy and getting rid of cattle (methane emissions), it discusses geoengineering methods to actively compensate for what we have done to the environment. One of the more interesting and cost effective ideas is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI):

"There is high agreement that cost of stratospheric aerosol
injection (SAI) (not taking into account indirect and social costs, research and development costs and monitoring expenses) may be in the range of 1–10 billion USD yr–1
for injection of 1–5 MtS to achieve cooling of 1–2 W m–2 (Robock et al., 2009; McClellan et al., 2012; Ryaboshapko and Revokatova, 2015; Moriyama et al., 2016), suggesting that cost-effectiveness may be high if side-effects are low or neglected (McClellan et al., 2012)." [0]

Some of the other options are outlined in Table 4.7 of the report. Given that these are not that expensive and could radically reduce temperature, I think we should be doing a lot more to research both the intended and unintended consequences. I strongly think some entity is going to try some of them, and some have already been done by folks: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/19/science/earth/iron-dumpin...

If you are interested in mitigating climate change, I encourage you to read through chapter 4 of the IPCC report which covers many of the possible methods.

By court fees do you mean court costs? IANYL but probably yes in my state anyway (FL). Defendant's attorneys fees and expenses? Sanctions? Probably not unless it's egregious.
Now I went to law school more than 15 years ago, so the web was a little different then than today. However, I went three years without reading a single novel or any other significant piece of non-legal anything, for fun or not, for that whole three years. So it wasn't the web keeping me away from reading.

As soon as I was done, I read Les Miserables, then Player of Games by Ian Banks, then few (2-3) other sci fi novels that I don't specifically remember, and then a bunch of random stuff.

I loved it all. I will grant that this is possibly because I had been denying myself that pleasure in order to focus on the grueling pursuit of law school, and that I had wanted to be reading novels the whole time.

I am not convinced that the problem is only going long periods of time without. I have done that. My wife did the same when she went to law school. Maybe that's part of it, but I would guess that training your brain on fluff for that period of time is not an insignificant part of it.
That's all well and good, but Amazon replaced their bonuses for raises and then pretended like they were giving everyone an actual raise when in fact, some people could end up getting a pay cut.

So we create instance of DataModel once and then we perform operation like filtering, projection of columns, sorting etc. Everytime an operation is performed a new instance of DataModel is returned. Hence its immutable. But under the hood there is only one copy of data resides in the system shared by all instance of DataModel, for every operation we just record a formula and save it on DataModel instance. The data for that particular instance is computed on demand based on the formula. Its not a pure immutability by definition. Hence pseudo-immutable.

However, every operation does not support formula storing. Operation like joining, grouping creates new data.

We are updating the docs rapidly. All this info would be on the docs soon.
This makes plenty sense but, still, why not keep both when they can clearly afford to? It really doesn't look good. They say the new setup more than compensates for the removal of the old. But how much more? Does it cost amazon 5% more, 20%?
I like the counterpoint, but it's not clear that the ML researchers were the ones who pulled the plug on the project.

Ex-Amazon here. The "people leave bosses, not companies" proverb applies to most people I know.
Exactly. Now some other slob with a job has to pay to feed my family just because I can afford to buy a house and he can’t. The American way. The only practical problem with this scheme is the cost of private medical insurance is astronomical for someone who retires before Medicare age. So I might get some kind of token job just to get group health plan.
I've run into this on a bunch of systems, and it absolutely is a mess. Particularly since Explorer gives all kinds of special status and UI elements to 'Documents' folders - if they just had the same name in different places I'd care way less.

But the solution to "we screwed up years ago" is definitely not "nuke one instance with no warning and don't even glance at what's there".
Yeppo.
Also, for myself at least in the geospatial realm, I need raster, rgdal, sp, sf, and parallel. The primary allure of R (imo) is the thousands of packages that allow you to quickly and easily implement whatever you want to do. Combine those with data.table and parLapply, and you're off to the races.

They were generally not incentivized, but had a 2 year vesting period. That kept people working at Amazon longer for that extra few grand.
Not to mention, if next year they get let's say a 3% bump in salary, a bonus wouldn't be included into the calculation to determine their larger salary. Salaries are better than a bonus.
Also there has to be a somewhat high and tractable initial cost for the paradox to kick in. How much does it cost to run a TV for a year? I have no idea as it is rolled into my monthly electricity bill.

When the ice shelves in Greenland (40 foot sea level rise) and Antarctica (200 foot seas level rise) occur then I reckon it'll not be gradual but will be a sudden collapse. All within a very short space of months.

The real issue is that nobody has proven this wasn't going to occur anyway. This is always the downfall with climate science in that there is no explicit proof that anything man does to the planet would alter what was going to occur anyway.

Climate scientists also have an agenda to keep their funding so will never say "there is no issue" but will always point to the inevitable as it matches what they want for a conclusion.

Follow the money, as they say.

"Up until some time in the mid 90's people were thinking of the internet as something intrinsically decentralized.
