I've been failing all weekend to create nodes in a GKE cluster through either the UI console or gcloud. Even right now I can't get any nodes to spin up.

Edit: I finally got my cluster up and running by removing all nodes, letting it process for a few minutes, then adding new nodes.
I am currently building a suspended wirebot, I have a prototype that is starting to run nicely, hopefully the website is coming up soon. I'd love to talk about farming automation experiments (that's actually the acronym of our project: FAE), the needs, the dead ends, etc...
I would suggest the inference I was alluding to would also apply amazon.

Note how I never stated the inference. This is because I wanted to share a way of thinking without feeling the responsibility to reply to people attempting to force me to prove some prescriptive, arbitrary inference rule by exhaustion. I do not participate in such practices casually. I also consider it rude to subject people to such practices without consent. I also believe it is a practice that kills online discussion platforms.

Plenty of "human biodiversity" (neo-race science) nonsense like this floating around. The back half of the article amounts to the authors taking the premise that blacks are cognitively inferior to whites as a given, and then throwing up their hands and saying "Look, we examined the evidence, and the only explanation that makes sense is that they're genetically inferior!", complete with laments for poor social science researchers who have been unfairly persecuted for their objective, scientifically-minded investigations into the reasons why black people are just so damn stupid.
I recently bought a CO2 monitor, and found that my girlfriend's apartment is regularly over 1200 ppm. Is there anything I can do about this issue? We can't just open the windows as it currently ~40F outside.

GM was selling cars mostly in the US, while more than 60% of Apple's sales happen outside the US. There's still quite difference, but a little smaller than the raw numbers.
Sorry, I don’t understand the comparison, could you explain?
I'm not in the CA area, so I honestly have no idea what you mean by saying fascism is rising in SF. Can you explain?
In general GCP has quota limits so its expected of customers to catch 5xx and do exponential back off. But this info is not explicitly stated.

From my personal experience - i think all big cloud providers first two level support staff is no good if it isn't an obvious dumb one on your part. I always prefer to forgo support and try to go through every bit of their documentation to figure it out on our own. This helps to save huge amount of time. But if you have developer support - it can help to expedite things little faster though.

thanks folks :) I had misunderstood, and am rewriting chunks of server code today :)
1: imagine I put analog in quotation marks.

2: correct but that was electricity. Light still has that problem but less.

3: let’s get more concrete. Which particular papers do you have in mind? So what is all the continuous variable research about?

I’m sure that the number of people who get into the field based on my comment is 0.
I definitely wouldn’t be managing my own database or caching layer without a very good reason. I would use a managed service if I were using a cloud provider.

Doing Django dev right now. I always right unit tests for a component but not necessarily integration tests. Depends on whether or not the component interacts with an outside system (db, redis, aws, etc.). Always mock those systems if the component does. Also always assert as specific as possible on those mocks. I usually find by the time I have to write integration tests the majority of the issues are worked out as long as I'm very diligent about mocking the return values correctly.
There's nothing wrong with this usage of the word? (I've got a degree in biochemistry is that helps at all??)

What kind of crappy conversations tend to happen from the usage of that word?

It's weird that the title was changed so drastically:

> Under poaching pressure, elephants are evolving to lose their tusks

to

> Researchers study the genetics and behavior of elephants born without tusks

for the sake of a word. Do we have many young-earth creationists on HN?
I've noticed a couple cases where Wikimedia contributors have done that legwork and extracted the original tiles; I don't know if there's any systematic effort to do so, though.

Well economic vs social axises for one. Start up culture is 'move fast and break things' which is more an economic right of minimal regulation and seeing them as obstacles to be worked around. Silicon valley has been pretty anti-authoritarian historically - starting with the Traitorous Eight and continuing to the job hopping. A more authoritarian ethos would be sticking with the company for life instead of leaving because you are pissed off about starting early and wearing a tie.

Fascism is 'you have to know somebody or be approved or you get the stick for being troublesome to the ruling parties'. While entrenching power in individuals who could pull up the drawbridge and go more controlled with regulatory capture it would be fair to say it is not start up culture at that point, not as a No True Scottsman sense. This is not a dodge of any hypothetical guilt. The policies and ethos may have lead to that outcome but the phases are very distinct - there is a difference between a family passing on their trade and a caste system even if the first may eventually lead to the later.
Man, you want to be painted with the "evil" brush refuse to fall lock step in line with the west/east coast political groupthink. Even being suspected of not being a party member is a scary place to be.
This site makes me happy. A request: dark theme, please.
h2 is not tcp on tcp.

h2 failed because it's mux everything into 1 single tcp connection, and it only takes 1 failed tcp to block everything in line.

h2 really need to do demux. But h2 actually can technically do M:N connections, but browsers do only 1:N.

Also h2 is a failed promise. Most sites deliver web assets and page and js in different host, also ws/wss in a different host. Thus renders h2 advantages complete useless.
Have you tried via the gcloud command?
What acid did you use, when I etched my first board in 1969, I used Ferric chloride (that stuff stains everything!) and an aluminum pie plate, it worked fine, no reactions at all, other than slowly etching my copper circuit board.

Populism does not mean popular.

It's unfortunate that populism has a name that leads to this misconception. People see the word and jump into discussion assuming that they know what is all about.

Populism is the claim that the people have a 'will'. There is no real disagreement of what the real people want or need for compromise. There are people who disagree but they are not the 'real people'. They are somehow compromised, the corrupt elite, misled or 'the others'. What 'people want' is already known, now you just need to vote populist into power to implement the will of the people. Laws and norms often make it difficult to implement this 'will' and they should be changed.

By contrast liberal[1] democracies are based on idea that the complex democratic process gradually produces something that people can live with. It's not exactly what anyone wants. There is no common agreement of what people want when people go and vote. The end result of working democracy is negotiated compromise. Laws and norms should be followed when this game of democracy is played.

[1]: liberal is another word that have different meanings in different contexts. Liberal does not mean leftist in this context.
Not every populist does either.
Being afraid would seem to serve the New York Times' interests, so I think I will go read Reuters instead. :)
Nice how it is always other people's things that are silly. Lawns are silly in places like Las Vegas, but maybe not particularly silly in a place like Michigan or New Jersey.
But limiting responsibilities for on call employees is a way of limiting the workload they have during that time - ultimately benefiting the employees. They are on call, not working. I don't see the windmills here.

Many many AWS people have left citing on call as the worst part of their job. Also, it is really a far fetched allegation that interviewers try to fail interviewees to hide their own incompetence. I get that you may not think much of Google SREs but to allege that is just in bad spirit. I hope you do get to see that the people inside Google are one of the best perks of working here. They are smart and motivated and willing to help each other.
XSStrike: XSS detection suite
WOW this is a surprise... What a small world! I used to watch you and Dr. Mel on WTNH Ch 8 many years ago when I lived in CT. I still think of you guys every time I'm back in CT and turn on the 11pm news. You are fantastic and always entertaining. I always looked forward to watching you predict whether I'd have school the next day. Thank you for the memories.
Sure, assuming you're carrying a phone on you. As we continue down this path we seem to be racing towards, I'm sure gait detection, facial recognition, etc., will be in full force in combined systems, sharing data, and they won't need phones to track your movements. They just follow you out your front door and wherever you go, passing whatever license plate scanners/facial scanners they have along the way.
It seems you are just accepting the globalist media's caricature of nationalism without thinking about it more deeply.

All nationalists take a moral position. That's what nationalism is. And all nationalists think through the consequences as well. Just like globalists do.

Are you saying nationalists like washington, lincoln, gandhi, mandela, et al weren't taking a moral position or thinking of the consequences of their nationalism?
Most crime doesn't happen in the view of streetlights. Fraud, wage theft, domestic violence… how do cameras help with any of that?

That is an oversimplification to the point of absurdity. People generally think in terms of us, bystanders, or enemy. Democrats and Republicans both view Canada as a mostly neutral party.

Further, groups can shift between those states based on context. What’s going on when propaganda vilifies a group is context is being assumed.
KiCAD is not bad but I definitely file under the category of software for people who like screwing around with software. If you’re making boards in your kitchen then the free edition of Eagle will be more than satisfactory, and it comes with decades worth of user-contributed libraries and scripts.
Don't forget Fritzing! While Fritzing is most commonly used for making very professional-looking diagrams of breadboard layouts, it's also a complete and extremely capable EDA suite. I've done several boards in Fritzing, and taken a few of those to production (> 1000 qty).

Also, unlike Eagle and Orcad and circuit studio, Fritzing is free as in beer and speech. Same with KiCAD, but the learning curve on Fritzing is just so much easier.

> devs using it for their software are therefore not open source developers

Using a non-OSI license for one project doesn't make a developer not an open source developer, any more than Open Core makes companies stewarding open source projects not open source companies. Most examples of financially self-sustaining, independent open source developers I know make money on contracts for closed development. A few standouts avoid that by running their own proprietary software businesses, offering additional features on top of their open work. Prosperity helps those developers who want to make the source for their paid-only features publicly available, and to make it free to many users who could never buy.

Prosperity, the noncommercial license, is one of two public licenses published under the project. The other is a very strong copyleft, or "free for open source" license. Both are controversial. I maintain, and have maintained, that the latter conforms to OSI's Open Source Definition, and that it's net-positive for software freedom, eschewing ruinous compromises. I remain far more personally passionate about the share-alike option, but it's just not functionally sufficient to create license-based opportunity for all projects. Freestanding applications not used to build other software, in particular.

None of the branding issues here have been easy. Part of the reason I renamed the public licenses to remove all mention of License Zero itself was to decouple communication problems. Also to emphasize their independence from L0. The licenses are perfectly usable without any dual licensing, or without licensezero.com in particular.

But while I want to be sure to get my messages across clearly, I strongly reject the idea that open source, however defined---OSI has not approved CC0-1.0, for example---deserves a special branding "buffer zone", that it's on other approaches to distinguish themselves, rather than for whoever wants to define "open source" to be clear what they mean. Open source branding itself takes advantage of lots of benefits attributable to mere source availability, and to public licensing more generally. It takes advantage of momentum from developers participating in a movement, some of whom reject any license-based definition of that movement, and some of whose needs, aspirations, and history orgs like OSI no longer seem to honor.

I named License Zero as a I did to reflect its goal: zero out friction in dual licensing, even for projects built with many deps, as through npm. Due to the documentation, and the readability of the licenses themselves, I believe it's actually far easier for developers to tell what's going on with L0 and L0 licenses than for most open source terms and business approaches. But I haven't stopped publishing as much as I can to help with those approaches. For example:

I read this sentence as Wu suggesting a hierarchy of increasing social risk:

> with the growing success of populist, nationalist and even neofascist movements all around the world

The first, populism, is neutral; at its best it is the recognition of legitimate grievances, while at its worst it is the channeling of those grievances into tribalism.

The second, nationalism, is more fraught: It is where tribalism becomes codified, and allegiance takes the place of grievance.

The last, fascism, is the end-state, where tribalism enables violence against both those outside the tribe and those seen as a threat within it.
It's absolutely hard. I just expect that a blanket "carbs are evil" is likely to be as incorrect as the blanket "fats are evil" advice. (e.g., the Twinkie diet http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/... )

Amount of food we eat, roughly eetimatable as calories, is important. I think gut biota is also an interesting field we are just learning about.

But yes, eat in moderation and exercise.
I'm quite tired of the news telling me to be afraid of things.

If I take a photograph of something, don't I own the copyright to that photo? Even if it is a photo of the Mona Lisa or the Parthenon?
After having talked to the office of my local federal representative this morning about another matter, the conversation got around to talking about surveillance, encryption and privacy. The attitude portrayed was ignorance of foreign government, foreign company or criminal organisation being able to use such systems for their purposes against the normal citizens of the country.

It almost seems like that since it is not discussed, it is not important and as such it is not relevant enough to be discussed. Sort of Catch 22, I suppose.
I transitioned from collocation to self managed remote server farm and then onto self managed remote vms. All these providers provided de-facto support whether we opted for one or not. You can go to their portal and raise a ticket.

I am not saying with vast numbers its feasible but big cloud providers don't even give you the opportunity to raise a ticket if its their fault. There is a price you pay extra when you opt for any one of them but many don't realize. Having said that - almost all the time, our skilled expertise is better than their initial two level of support staff. We realized it early so we handle it better by going over the documentation and making our code resilient since all cloud platforms have some limit or another since overselling in a region is something they can't avoid. Going multiple regions across when you handle these exceptions is the only way through.
Let's look at an example: below is an excerpt from "Black American Culture and the Racial Wealth Gap" [1] which claims that 20% of the racial wealth gap is due to Black preference for expensive cars, jewelry and clothes. Is this pseudoscience?

-----------------------------------------

To what extent do poor spending habits explain the persistence of the wealth gap? Economists at the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania asked this question after analyzing 16 years of nationally representative data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Consistent with the Nielsen data, they found that blacks with comparable incomes to whites spent 17 percent less on education, and 32 percent more (an extra $2300 per year in 2005 dollars) on ‘visible goods’—defined as cars, jewelry, and clothes. What’s more, “after controlling for visible spending,” they concluded that the “wealth gap between Blacks and Whites, conditional on permanent income, declines by 50 percent.” To be clear, that 50 percent figure doesn’t pertain to the total wealth gap, but to the proportion of the gap that remains after income is taken into account—which was 40 percent. The upshot: the fact that blacks spent more on cars, jewelry, and clothes explained fully 20 percent of the total racial wealth gap.

#WTF – What's the Fork  in one picture ️
I would typify a fascist state as a police state. Despite the vocal and proclaimed anti-fascism, CA is probably the closest to a fascist state in the US. CA has likely more regulations and more regressive regulations than any other state. (For instance, my car is illegal in CA, despite being legal in 49 other states). Either you tow the line, or you are shouted down, labelled and ostracized. Only thing CA is missing from Nazi Germany is the mass execution of the undesirables.
Well for starters it's home to the greatest mass surveillance apparatuses in history.

Their big data sets coupled with their algorithms used for sorting and targeting people based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, political beliefs, etc. could be used to enable the most powerful fascist dictator in history.

It wouldn't be the first time it happened:

Hi blparker,

I'll be graduating this May 2019 from the University of Minnesota, Twin-Cities with dual BS degrees in Computer Science and Statistical Science. For the past 6 months I've been interning at a commerce analytics company where I built a RESTful web service in Python 3.7, and prior to that I worked at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute where I gained experience with various big data frameworks.

The software engineering position sounds like it'd be a great fit for me given my statistics background. I also have experience applying/designing machine learning models and completed the graduate level ML classes at the U of M.

Asking candidly, would it be worth it for me to apply? Or is this position not open to new graduates? I am very interested and I'd love to discuss this opening with you more by phone or email, if possible.

Best,

~Mark

Does HTTP2 server push help solve this? Is there a way to send headers for things you’re about to push before pushing them, then letting the browser switch some subset of your resource loads over to another TCP thread without interrupting things?
I would say that forming a successful community around code is a slim prospect under any license. The median contributor count on an open project is one or two, depending on how you count.

It uses a different library for the final render and the OpenGL preview is often not perfect for complex geometry. The former is creating an actual watertight 3d model, the latter is just using z-order to simulate one.
People don’t really appreciate what a miracle the quick-turn electronics industry is. You can upload a Gerber file and get boards back in 24 hours. 2 layers, 4 layers, 6 layers whatever. Tiny little holes all over the board. Boards two feet square. If I order a huge box of stuff from Digi-key right now I’ll have it on my desk at 8am tomorrow. Or I can drop-ship it to the PCB place and get stuffed boards, inspected and reworked, in a couple days. It’s incredible, and all this has been up and running for at least 20 years.
I wish this post happened a week later! We are currently making a website, it should have been online last week but we missed the deadline. I have a small working prototype (2x2m area), I am currently changing some parts so that it can be made 100% with off-the-shelf parts. Next step is trying it on a 10x10m area and then see how far it can go.

Without making it particularly sturdy, it was able to lift 4 kg and has a pretty good movement repeatability even if totally "blind" (I am currently working on its vision system), two things that drone would have a hard time duplicating in outdoor conditions.

I can PM you later when we have all the things set up if you want. Or we can just chat here.
