So you wouldn’t mind people parking the scooters in front of your house then, since you can just walk around them?

I’ve seen scooters literally blocking entrances and pathways, heck people even take them inside buildings up to the 5th floor; not to mention that at night they emit a high pitched disrupting sound. Some people are plain lazy and highly inconsiderate. We need some rules because some people lack common sense.
Quora Security Update
Thanks for clearing that up. The story title and the Github repo together makes it unclear what this is intended for.

I'd love to see a Helm-like tool built on Skycfg.

I'm really surprised that the Go Protobuf implementation doesn't support dynamic schemas, which seems like such a core feature, but looks like work is underway.

This is a big one. I live in Lehi, UT, in a place we call "Utah Valley." It's a bowl surrounded by mountains. When there's an inversion or when there's no storm to blow out the pollution, it sometimes reaches the top of the "worst air quality regions" scale. Moving the pollution to an area outside the bowl is a huge deal for me.

How well does the U.S. yield curve perform as a prediction market for S&P 500 prices? Is there a strong correlation between what investors expect will happen in 3-5 years (ie the yield curve), and what actually happens?
From what I recall, SpaceX doesn't allow any external libraries in their embedded rocket code.
The main caveat of the above is that GCL is so powerful, it's easy to write crazily complex puzzles in it. Just because you can write a mandlebrot fractal generator in your config language, does not mean you should.

And you can bet the person to write the configs of that service you inherited did enjoy seeing quite how far they could stretch the flexibility of GCL...

At this point I am operating on the assumption that ALL businesses that have my data are going to inadvertently leak it at some point, and thus I am attemtping to provide individual companies with as little information about me as possible.

The toughest ones here are my online banking and my online health portal, but other than that, I have gotten pretty picky about what information I give any company.
Machine Learning for Middle Schoolers (2017)
The visual system was often cited by proponents of intelligent design as evidence of god. But the mammalian visual system is an absolute mess. Anyone who designed that would have been fired on the spot. The octopus visual system, on the other hand, is quite elegant and efficient. If there really were an intelligent designer, the implications would be worrying.
I found this via https://andrewgelman.com/2018/11/30/stephen-wolfram-explains... which is a nice little intro.
Though many are non-practicing. Only about 5% of the Jewish people I know keep kosher in any sense, and maybe half of those are strict enough to ask a roommate to avoid pork in the kitchen. (Pretty sure that’s lower than the proportion of vegetarians I know who would care about a roommate eating meat.)

Some might allow it in the kitchen but ask you not to cook or consume pork using shared dishes and utensils.

Those who are glatt kosher - who care that much - often will customize a kitchen with dual sinks, ovens, and dishwashers in order to accommodate the need to keep meat and dairy separate. If you need that, you’re probably not looking for a typical apartment share in the first place.
Cars park in designated spots on streets, they are (generally) not randomly dropped onto sidewalks and parks.

The issue for me is the co-opting of public space for private enterprise in the least considerate way possible. People leave these scooters like litter in parks, sidewalks, and lakes.

You could object that this is an overly precious perspective, but I would counter that similar startups (ZipCar most notably) have solved this by contemplating the logistical implications from the get go.

I personally would not object the assigning some percentage of parking spots in neighborhoods as designated parking for shares, and would hope such a contract will emerge.

I certainly understand the dockless advantage here, but the result for those of us who don't use them is garbage some random company feels entitled to clutter up the sidewalks with.
Fans of Planet Money’s “The Indicator” are no doubt imagining Cardiff prepping new yield curve material.
Pinterest made early inroads with women looking for fashion, home, and cooking inspiration that they could "pin". That legacy still heavily influences the type of content that appears on Pinterest and the audience they appeal to.

I think the user was pointing out that Vested Yeti, rather than just show you some "basic" fashion, like Ugg boots, can actually serve a practical purpose.
It's an somewhat provactive when stated that shortly as a thesis, but the thrust is Kubernetes has significant more value as an _economic concern_, not as a _system critical engineering component_ like the HN comments are taking it.

With the evidence cited, it is a powerful argument

Well you could use Hetzner if you don't mind it being deployed in Europe.

The amazon hasn't stomped out traditional hosting in any sort of way. Internap can be cheap if you don't mind the contracts; beyond that there's just too many to really list.

Hetzner is just really easy to get small or large servers dedicated for a really cheap price... less than 300 pounds for 24TB of SATA and 4TB of SSD and 128gig of ram.

No, but you still need to support the common ABI. E.g., for Rust, that's an easy job, compared to Go.

Wow. Damn. Got 'em.
It's not easy to solve because people go ballistic if you suggest removing even a single parking space. See for example the 30+ year struggle to develop bus rapid transit on Geary in SF [0], or the effort Bay Area Bikeshare has to go through to get each and every dock approved by the city [1].

Fundamentally the problem is that car-owners currently receive an enormous subsidy in the form of cheap or free street parking and they jealously guard that privilege, even in supposedly progressive cities like San Francisco.

Dev board prices are basically random. Disregarding these parts in particular, microcontrollers are a good option because they keep the process of actually bringing something to market simple and cheap, especially for a hobbyist. To go beyond an STM32 or similar (Kinetis, ATSAM, etc.) to an MPU, you end up having to use BGA parts which means board prototyping/manufacture is harder, you have lots of extra PCB design work and you'll probably be putting yocto or some other linux flavor on it which sounds nice but can be a pain. A microcontroller is one part, usually with exposed pins that are easy to hand solder, that you can stick on a PCB with a voltage regulator and maybe a crystal and have a fully functional design. You don't need to worry about board feature sizes/tolerances, high frequency/controlled impedance traces, and the mess of support circuitry that a basic MPU will require.

I know people like to write them off because it's so easy to get devboards with 1GHz+ MPUs and gigabytes of memory/flash on them but if you want to sell stuff, eventually you need to package the design and if you don't NEED linux, you can make your life so much easier and in most cases, have a much smaller product with way lower power consumption.
This looks interesting but you should add more explanation. Also, it's bad if your friends upvote and post booster comments; HN users have sharp instincts for this and don't like it.

The US is at the center of a vast network of multilateral international relations which, even as its individual position diminishes, would continue to exert considerable world influence. Just as did the British long after their empire and with declining GDP.

Of course if the US were to destroy its international network, that would change.

As for "waking up", it appears at the moment the decline is not creating a call for clear thinkers and rational solutions but for charismatic leaders who make Ghost Dance variety promises.
I don't think that's it. It's typical to have a team of programmers working on a large project, and many managers are willing to try things.

However, pair programming does require a lot of commitment to make it work. I've only seen it work on a team where it was an XP project to start with, so everyone hired was already willing to give it a solid try. Your average team isn't self-selected in this way and won't have the same level of enthusiasm for a new management initiative.

This article is quite forceful in laying out the metaphor from cherry picking suitable historical events.

The computing primarily is because Moore’s law, i.e., the continuous lowering of computing hardware.

With the dropping costs of hardware, coming the proliferation of software, then at certain generic integration point, naturally some major players pop out:
Instruction set
Operating system
Internet
Web

It’s then a matter of who can be the right pint to capature the market opportunity and become the winner.

The article tries to fit this process with open sourcing metaphor. But open source has little matching properties with this process. It’s more like the software abstraction always goes higher and higher therefore the previous winners naturally loses their advantage when the world moving to build new things on a different basis.

Crypto network, how it’s connected to this process is not clear to me.

In the end, there is no competing of centralization vs. decentralization. They always coesist. All the crypto buzzword is just a slogan for financial industry to adopt open data exchange protocols.

And to equate crypto network or blockchain with decentralization is about as deceptive as calling internet an open network for information exchange.
Because people on the whole are incredibly resistant to even a tiny loss in street parking. Swapping out a carpark for a parklet that incorporates scooter parking can generate uproar. And action would need to come from the city/council side.

Whenever there is talk of changes to street parking, businesses are outraged at the removal of convenience for their customers. (In most cases, I think they're actually upset at the loss of convenience for their own parking.)

The FED has been unwinding the balance sheet this whole year. Granted the rate started out at 16 Billion/month and was capped at 40B/month. So there have been plenty of jokes about how it will take years to unwind 4 Trillion. I think we have just passed 150 Billion there is a pretty cool chart out there somewhere.

The unwinding of this many treasuries has always been a concern about the whole 2008 crisis along with the unintended consequences of ZIRP.

Many of then joined the project convinced it was the only way to stop the Axis from developing a nuclear bomb, and at least some of them were opposed to it's use by 1945, particularly against civilians. Not really comparable to an apartheid state currently at peace.
That's pretty extreme. What if you have a deployment that should have a 100GB PVC in production, but only 10GB in staging? Do you duplicate the entire config, or pass around patches, just to make a single line change? What if you have different HPAs, different replica counts, different resource requests/limits, etc.?

People use tools like Helm and Ksonnet because they allow you to write general-purpose manifests that can be parameterized. It's an extremely powerful tool. Our charts are full of things like this for that reason:

resources:
{{ if .Values.kubernetes.resources }}
requests:
{{ if .Values.kubernetes.resources.requests.cpu }}cpu: {{ .Values.kubernetes.resources.requests.cpu }}{{ end }}
{{ if .Values.kubernetes.resources.requests.memory }}memory: {{ .Values.kubernetes.resources.requests.memory }}{{ end }}
limits:
{{ if .Values.kubernetes.resources.limits.cpu }}cpu: {{ .Values.kubernetes.resources.limits.cpu }}{{ end }}
{{ if .Values.kubernetes.resources.limits.memory }}memory: {{ .Values.kubernetes.resources.limits.memory }}{{ end }}
{{ end }}

Or stuff like dynamically built ingresses:

- host: {{ .Values.host }}
http:
paths:
{{ range .Values.apps }}
- path: {{ .path }}
backend:
serviceName: {{ .name }}
servicePort: 80
{{ end }}

Admittedly, templating sucks, and a tool like Skycfg or Jsonnet would be significantly better here, but the fundamental problem to solve is the same.

I'm a big fan of configurator generators. I think it's wise to let apps be simple and rely o static, pre-baked configs (JSON, YAML, whatever), but a deployment system needs to be able to generate dynamic ones.

Tempo.

I learned this from being in combat and trying to hit on girls way out of my league in highly competitive environments where they would verbally test me.

When tension increases, voices move up an octave, and conflict looms ...breathe... focus, let time slow down, move slowly and with purpose.

You can control the most complex and high emotion situations, the ones where everyone is freaking the fuck out by breathing and focusing your mind. It’s amazing, like watching time slow down. You gain control and can manipulate the situation as desired. With practice you can do this without thinking and can speed up or slow down the tempo at will. It’s like a super power. I encourage you to practice it.

Then you get to a point to where you can artificially accelerate the tempo for others (saying something taboo, challenging someone directly, body language) while you remain in “bullet time” able to control the situation while everyone struggles with the rush of endorphins. It’s pretty crazy. Try not to be too nefarious with this.
Thanks for using us as a mirror! In case anyone who runs a CMS (HN admins?) is wondering, we would be happy for people to hit our Save Page Now functionality at the time of link submission, so a copy _as it was when posted_ is archived. This is good for both having a copy of the page in case traffic takes it offline (though in general, I think the link should go to the original since then people get their traffic), but also in case the endpoint changes their page or content after it's posted.

You can cause us to save a page by hitting https:// web.archive.org/save/your-url-here with a GET request, and there are more details about the ways to use the interface with browser plugins/etc here: https://blog.archive.org/2017/01/25/see-something-save-somet...

It is reasonable to call it cultish, but it is still very different to what that comparison implies, in that it is fundamentally different to pretty much any other cult.

Whenever someone says they believe in something because science they are agreeing to change their mind when shown to be incorrect.

In reality people are stubborn or lazy, so there are lots of things slipping through that shouldn't. There's an analogy to be drawn here with crypto algorithms.

Almost everyone uses specific crypto algorithms because some expert decided they were the best ones to use. It's generally considered best practice to use open-source algorithms, not because we can prove they are more secure than closed-source algorithms, but because we are able to investigate them ourselves. At no point does it become a pure faith exercise, trust me because I said so, but it's a verifiable trust, trust me but feel free to check my work.

There are many many things I believe essentially because everyone else believes them too, but as long as I am able to verify them (and approach the belief with an appropriate amount of scepticism) I don't think that falls in to cultish behaviour.

To try and finish this thought, I think things drift into the cultish when everybody believes the same thing and are either unable to or choose not to validate that it's actually true. We should encourage people to be more skeptical of any claim, but especially ones that are justified by 'Science!', but not confuse that with being unable to validate the claim at all.
Modern monetary theory is the only one that can adequately explain why it's not a problem in my opinion.

The kind of people who say that the US's debt is totally going to be a problem any year now have generally being saying that for years, as well as saying that about Japan's since the early 90's.

But MMT proposes that a monetarily sovereign currency issuer (like the US, UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, etc. but not Euro-using countries, or anybody with a gold standard, fixed exchange rates etc.) actually have the ability to service any debt denominated in their own currencies, and analysis to pretty confidently say that it would not be inflationary to just pay them out (i.e by money creation). The inflation risk was at the time when the spending of the bond money happened, so paying them out with new money is asset neutral - the only difference is it just gives the bond-holder a more liquid asset.

Then there are other useful tools like sectoral balances, etc. that help explain the links between one of the things that really matters (private debt) and how it relates to Government spending and trade surplus/deficit. A few of the twelve or so people who accurately described the great recession a few years before it happened used this method at the core (e.g. Keen, Godley).

It flies pretty hard in the face of conventional economic wisdom, but I haven't yet found an economic theory that holds up so strongly to real world observation, i.e. in explaining why Greece has huge debt problems but not Germany (Eurozone, but trade surplus) or the US (monetarily sovereign), and why Venezuela and Zimbwabe have their problems (debt denominated in foreign currencies, supply shocks, etc.) vs. Japan (monetarily sovereign) while they seem to do similar things, etc.

In my first year of university I ended up in a shared accommodation with two muslims and a jew, and two other people. I made the innocent mistake of cooking a pepperoni pizza in the oven.

After hearing them swear at me in Arabic and Hebrew (I understand neither), I cleaned out the oven and kitchen and told them I wouldn't cook pork again.

Didn't help. They would not speak to me again. They didn't use the kitchen (I have no idea where they ate). In the end I just started cooking pork again because they weren't using it anyway.
We're not likely to go to war against Saudi Arabia over this, but currently we're assisting their war in/with Yemen. I'm not really sure why we're helping them with that, and I'm not sure anyone else knows either but the easy option in this case is just to stop helping. Maybe stop selling them weapons, while we're at it.

Disclosure: I work for AWS doing many things, including Outposts.

Only if all of regional ("in the cloud") EC2 and EBS services had been re-platformed to run on Eucalyptus.

A significant difference here is that the same infrastructure building blocks used for EC2 and EBS are used for Outposts, and the same regional control plane endpoint is used to create and manage resources. It isn't a second implementation that operates similarly to the regional cloud version.

Additionally, all of the control plane components that are used to drive the infrastructure in the way your API requests intend run in the regional cloud, which leaves practically all of the Outposts resources available for customer workloads.
