> 2) either a vm running windows server or create a db on azure to update manually because powerbi doesn't allow aws databases

I believe this is a misunderstanding. You can totally connect to AWS databases with PowerBI, assuming your AWS database is routable. You can't set up the connection through the web interface, but you can use PowerBI Desktop to set up virtually any database that has an ODBC driver as a source[1]. And once you publish it to the Azure-hosted PowerBI instance, it'll use that connection string to connect directly to the data source and automatically update/refresh like any other data source.

As for a VM running Windows Server - that's the option if your AWS database isn't routable by the Azure-hosted PowerBI service. You install a gateway for PowerBI to hop through, and configure all of the data sources within that gateway. That way your internal AWS databases are not publicly routable, and you can lock down and centralize the connection between PowerBI and AWS via that gateway box[2]. Data Gateway is a Windows-only application at the moment, so that part is a pain. But it's a relatively minor pain in the grand scheme of BI implementations.

That sequence of shots of Saturn’s moons and the music....gets me every time.
How would a government lose control of keys generated and stored within a offline HSM in a shielded room, without actually losing possession of that HSM? This is very obviously not unfeasible to implement in a secure manner.

So far you've only given examples of secrets which are really easy to lose control of, this simply isn't one.

I'm not trying to argue that this should be done, you claimed this can't be done which is obviously false

I've found that it's only when I use a framework that I absolutely need X-Debug. Otherwise it's a nice-to-have but not a requirement.
Romero was fairly technical - he did a large chunk of the level design and coding around that with the editor. I think him and Tom Hall split that work.
No? It's much faster and cheaper to deal with the arbitration yourself than to have all the dirty laundry aired out in public courts, which will almost certainly be a long, expensive process.
Are you a repo maintainer and want to sell stickers?
I couldn't quickly find a detailed breakdown, but here's a basic one:

- Airplay doesn't offer multi-room audio; AirPlay 2 does

- AirPlay lets you stream from any Apple device to your speakers or TV

- AirPlay 2 lets you play from speakers over Wi-Fi, and it'll stay in sync

- AirPlay 2 lets play different songs in different rooms with multiple HomePods

If memory serves, the original AirPlay had much simpler goals. Stream music from a single computer to a speaker over a local network. So it has concessions like a constant 2 second lag, which happens if you press pause/play. I vaguely remember other weird restrictions when playing with it in the past (like one device at a time had to control a speaker).

AirPlay2 is a lot more complex adding the features mentioned above and better handling the use-cases original AirPlay grew into.

It's also a mischaracterization to imply that only 35 googlers care about this. Removing arbitration for sexual harassment was one of the core demands that 20k Googlers walked out for last month. So the number of supporters is somewhere between 35 and 20k...

Can anyone dumb this down for me?

I don't really understand this use case - is this for PHP developers to eke out some more performance for their web apps?

The goridge library (https://github.com/spiral/goridge) makes a little more sense to me; it's a bridge between golang and PHP via RPC.

I went through the code (https://github.com/spiral/roadrunner) but it doesn't seem like something you can swap into an existing PHP project. Can anyone explain what use case this might be for?
>These tactics generally extend the fighting, but don’t accomplish that much

Maybe not in the conventional sense, but financially it's costing the US hundreds of billions that could have been invested elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure the cost of the war in the middle east is what helped sink the Soviets
It's not just massacres and brutality. Earlier societies had more acceptable political compromises. Look at the Russian war in their south. Grozny was carpet bombed to flat, but what ended the war was agreeing to substantial autonomy for Chechnya: in exchange for personal loyalty to Putin, Chechnya is allowed transfer payments, and Kadyrov (the ruler of Chechnya) has a personal police/army force. Dealing with guerilla warfare is easier if you mostly agree to their demands. If the US had agreed to let the North run Vietnam, the war would have been easy; if the US hadn't pursued de-baathization and left power structures in place, Iraq would have been easier as well. But of course you don't pursue regime change to lift the regime in place. Compare with Desert Storm, where regime change was not pursued.
Be in debt or not? What is the education going to give you? The life you want or debt?
In a nutshell, AirPlay 2 decouples the media and the control streams.

This makes play/pause etc instant (rather than waiting for the 3 second buffer to run out) and makes it much easier to do multi-speaker audio as they're all listening to the same media stream.
> So the number of supporters is somewhere between 35 and 20k...

This is actually a pretty good summary of micro-political science in a nutshell.

On one hand we have physical evidence and scientists, on the other hand we have you saying "my family has been destroying the soil for a long time and learned nothing the whole time". While you may find the latter more compelling, I do not.

Weeds are early colonizing species, frequently foreign invasives, not natives. They do not always outperform crop species, as demonstrated by the millions of acres where they are outcompeted by the crops. You create barren lifeless dirt, precisely the niche early colonizing species evolved to fill. Of course they fill it. Just because you create your own problem, doesn't mean the rest of us suffer from that problem too.

You do not want to till for other reasons, literally the entire purpose of tilling is to hinder plant growth. The fact that it hinders crop growth as well as weed growth seems to be lost on many people. There's a reason the majority of farms in the US and Canada are already no-till.

The people currently doing your job better than you are pretty compelling evidence. https://hooktube.com/watch?v=UEOVLpZrvvU

You do not need fertilizers because the dirt is made of those very minerals. You have literally tons of phosphorus sitting under your crop, but you have killed the microorganisms responsible for converting it to plant available forms.

Monocultures do not create conditions for diseases and bugs. This has been researched to death. If alternating strips of corn and soybeans lowered disease and pest rates that's what everyone would do. It doesn't help at all. The problem is not the plants, it is the soil.

I have no idea what your last point is even supposed to mean. Tilling is labor. "I don't have unlimited labor so I will use my limited labor on a process that increases my costs and lowers my yields" is pretty hard to make sense of.
If only us men stopped using women like objects at such a rate that it bears statistically significant stress on the scale of the industry! Then most businesses would need to spend zero time and money.

Sheep suffer from Scrapie

Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of sheep and goats. It is among a number of diseases classified as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). Infected flocks can experience significant production losses.
I'd hasten to add it's the same in software. We think the experts are right on the edge of performance, accuracy, and success while using all the right tools - meanwhile from the inside, it's a shambles in all but the highest stakes environments with the most qualified teams.

I'm not saying this is perfect or it's all you need, but it's something.

To be honest, as someone who's done crowd sourced projects before this entire project sounds .... very difficult.

If it was my project, I'd have worked on these "crowd sourced" elements from the start, not as a "planning to do" - because I think the only way this will work long term is to get those right. And getting them right will be very difficult to do.

Also, I'd link to source material much more prominently. As a reader, I'm not inclined to trust a random unofficial page on the internet - especially on anything as important as Visas - so providing lots of links I can spent 10 minutes following up on to reassure myself would be great.

Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate your feedback about GitLab. Our team is working hard on improving the availability and stability of the platform. Our goal is currently to achieve 99.95% availability on GitLab.com.
According to Pingdom, over the last year our availability has been 99.81%, although this includes the large (multi-hour) maintenance window on 11 August 2018 when we migrated GitLab.com from Microsoft Azure cloud to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Since the migration, our availability has improved greatly (caveat: we obviously have much less data than from Azure).

There are multiple reasons for this improvement. We chose Google Cloud Platform because we believe that they offer the most reliable cloud platform for our workload, particularly as we move towards running GitLab.com in Kubernetes. It is worth pointing out that we also used the migration as an opportunity to improve our infrastructure, simplify some components and otherwise make things more stable and more observable. Finally, we've also been focusing on building the infrastructure team up, having hired many new team members over the past few months. This means that the team has been better able to balance the job of running GitLab.com with making it more stable.

"Yourself"?

I am quite sure you are not aware of the issue here. We're talking about binding, or forced arbitration. Often times, people are unaware that they are being forced into arbitration, and when they are, it severely limits their legal recourse. There's little reason to support it, unless you're a huge company with liability concerns.

Here's a good source on the matter:

https://www.consumeradvocates.org/for-consumers/arbitration
California keeps trying to ban mandatory arbitration in contracts, and federal courts keep ruling against the state on the grounds that the Federal Arbitration Act pre-empts California law.

Top growing startups of the last 7 days
I analyze Indie Hackers startup growth trend and post my observation to help fellow founders learn what growth looks like at a very early stage.

1. [Wavve](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/wavve) - Probably one of the most impressive products I’ve seen on IH. They turn audio to social video that you can post on IG and other social media platforms. Just look at their revenue growth in the past year. They grow from $5k to $33k in MRR!

2. [Gatsboy](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/gatsboy) - It is a website maintenance service that has gone from $0 to $1k MRR in just over one month!

3. [Requestly](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/requestly) - A Chrome extension that has grown from 50k visitors to 130k visitors per month in the past year, showing a steady growth in traffic. Although Requestly isn’t making much in revenue, it is apparent that the goal is to gain active users and I think he is doing a great job at it.

4. [Bubble](https://www.indiehackers.com/product/bubble) - Lets you build web applications without coding, and is steadily growing in revenue. Bubble has gained over $90k/month in revenue since March 2018! Amazing growth.

I bet wealth liquidity scales super-linearly with net worth. A $50-millionaire likely has maybe $500k in cash, $2-5MM in liquid investments, and another $2-5MM in semi-liquid assets, like real-estate. While a $100-millionaire probably has like $2MM in cash, $10-20MM in liquid investments, and $10MM in real-estate.

Because of this, the amount these two can borrow is staggeringly different.
I don't know if they're still friends, but there's clearly been some animosity in the past.

Carmack isn't constantly humping the successes of his distant past trying to use them to generate hype and interest in himself, even though he's been largely responsible for them.

Romero just seems like a slacker, riding on the coattails of those early shared successes, milking the association dry.
That's completely irrelevant to the issues mentioned, once again:

"Protactinium separations provide a pathway for obtaining highly attractive weapons-grade uranium 233 from thorium fuel cycles. The difficulties of safeguarding commercial spent fuel reprocessing are significant for any type of fuel cycle, and thorium is no exception."
A trade war esentially forcing China to be more self sustained. Depending on the definition there are few type of trade wars. One specific event was to ban Intel to ship CPUs for the Chinese supercomputer. The result was a Chinese CPU and Intel financial meltdown. Tariffs are equally bad too. Other instance of this political manovering was a Japanese car production company moving production from the US to China. The list goes on and on. Trump is committing a political suiicide with these.
IMO, that’s a separate issue. If we had grabbed the oil fields as territory following the empire model then the war could have been a net financial gain.

The major cost was not the fighting, it was having that many people in a foreign nation without any national gain.
No one tries to have dirty laundry, and if you are a company of any significant size there’s going to be dirty laundry regardless.

I had to deploy Nextcloud at work for a couple dozen users and it was a nightmare. There was zero response to any bug reports / questions I had. I even tried to get commercial support, and they wouldn't answer.

The client is effectively a black box, and we can't even get synchronization to work correctly. Some of it certainly is the fault of me or the users. But some of it probably isn't, and it's hard to tell the difference, what with nobody responding to bug reports.

How forced arbitration is legal in the US never made sense to me.

If the clause was "In the case of a dispute, we win.", it'd be deemed invalid by the courts. But since it's "In the case of a dispute, we have an overwhelming advantage in a private court.", that makes it valid?
What makes you think that Google has the best security team? Anecdotally some of their competitors appear to have a much better track record.

I know this won't be popular...but I don't understand why people are so anti-arbitration. Court cases are very expensive, regardless of the verdict. In the situation of running a business, you have a 1 business to many employees situation handling multiple cases simultaneously could get extremely expensive whether the cases are valid or not.

People use the threat of legal fees to extort business owners all the time because all it takes is one bored attorney who's willing to take the case on contingency while the business is looking at $150-500 / hr fees to defend itself. Happens to doctors constantly.

If you are a business that employees thousands of people the amount of potential legal costs could put you under entirely, because attorneys have to respond to every single claim that opposing attorneys make. These techniques exist almost solely to drive up legal costs.

When your potential cost for an employee is far higher than the actual compensation you can afford to pay, it significantly increases your risk for every job you can create.

This is usually a two way street as well.

In nearly every contractor agreement I've read, the liability for the hired contractor is limited to at most the amount of compensation they receive from the business for the job they were performing.

Ask HN: What are some practical uses for serverless?
Long time Rails/Django/Express user here. I've been reading about serverless for about 3 years now and have setup minor apps for fun.

Forgive my lack of imagination, but I'm failing to come up with anything serverless can do better than wiring up a queueing system can do.

Let's take rails + sidekiq for example. Out of the box, I get stats, retries/error handling, a web UI, weights, great debugging remote and local, and enormous community support + years of SO questions to google. Setting up sidekiq + rails is basically a 10 minute operation.
