Layers may or may not benefit any particular org. If you build a lot of your own containers from the same base layer image (microserver1-container-a .. microserver2-container-N), then you could save a lot of bandwidth/storage pulling the base layer once. Naturally, if you build everything from alpine:latest, then a large majority of your containers are going to have difference base layers and you're going to lose those savings.

> It's actually per bank, per type of account. So $250k in savings accounts, $250k in checking, $250 in Money Market, etc.

It's not per type of account, it's per ownership category. Ownership categories are:

(1) Single accounts

(2) Certain self-directed retirement accounts

(3) Joint accounts

(4) Revocable trust accounts

(5) Irrevocable trust accounts

(6) Employee benefit (non-self-directed) plan accounts

(7) Corporation, partnership, or unicorporated association account

(8) Government accounts

Robinhood is a small operation that’s skimming pennies off your transactions to fund its operation. The alternative is banks who are doing the sambut times a hundred and banks are making a ton of money off their customers even with 100 times as many employees as robinhood.

They are not bad guys’s. They are still making money(surprice!?), but they are much much more modest about it than traditional banks. This account is a fine example. They don’t need to give you a 3% deal, but they are doing it anyway because it’s benefitting both them and their costumers.
Virgin Galactic doesn't have any orbital aspirations, as far as I know (unlike Virgin Orbit). The biggest change I saw was they floated the possibility of actually traveling this way- e.g. London to New Mexico or somewhere. But that was awhile ago, I haven't seen any kind of that talk. I think especially since the accident, they've been focused on just doing these suborbital up and down trips and trying to make them a regular commercial activity.

Anecdotally, people in the space industry don't seem too thrilled with VG. This type of ship was great for the X prize, but it remains to be seen how robust it is. Some of the test flight footage has looked almost unstable. Also their hybrid motor approach (solid & liquid fuel) was said to have gotten all the drawbacks of both approaches with little benefit.

Ask HN: Open source and auth
I was wondering if you were intending to share an entire application open source that is also currently running, is it a bad idea to share the auth mechanism. It could show vulnerabilities which is good if people are pointing it out/telling you about it versus exploiting it.

Context is PHP password_compat instead of say "off the shelf" auth with something like Laravel.
Intraday trading is much less risky than holding a position overnight. A lot of movement happens in the first and last 30 mins of trading, and over lunch. You can exit unproductive positions quickly, whereas if you couldn't day trade you'd only be able to sit and watch how the cards are falling.

Just the reply-all "I'm not sure this as anything to do with me, please take me off your DL" mails forced the servers to be taken down and nearly five hours of global mail handling was wiped clean... it was about seven hours before accounts started acting normally again. Sorta amusing from the random employee view.
During the savings and loans scandal, we convicted over a thousand people. Even if they committed the most minor infraction. I'd argue it cleaned up the banking industry for 20 years.

The trouble with delay line memory was not the speed of sound. It was that you had to wait for the entire memory (or, on average, half of it) to go around to get to any data item. More memory meant slower memory. Electronic arithmetic was much faster than the memory system, so delay line computers were very memory-bound. But not too expensive, once steel rods replaced mercury tanks.

Day trading is not some magical way to profit. Most people who make money around day trading are selling day trading services. Few make money over the long term day trading, and even fewer (any?) are making 2% every single day (400% over the course of a year with ~200 trading days).

The rules were put in place to protect people from being lured into day trading by day trading service companies. The thought was to prevent people from spending their rent money thinking they were going to get rich day trading. Also, trading with small amounts of money pushes people into penny stocks, which is an even faster way for someone to lose all their money.

I actually do have some experience in that area - one of my early internships was in a consultancy that specialized in avionics, health care, finance, and other areas that required ultra-high-assurance software.

It is a very different beast. Their avionics division was a heavy user of Ada, which you will basically never find a webapp written in. There are traceability matrixes for everything - for each line of code, you need to be able to show precisely which requirement requires that code, and every requirement it impacts. Instead of testing taking maybe 5% of your time (as with startup prototype code) or 50% of your time (as with production webservices), it took maybe 80% of the total schedule.
I really dislike Rooibos and find it unlike tea in many ways. It has a grassy smell and it tastes very tannic and astringent compared to regular tea.

This is a flawed view of the American system.

Credit and Debit cards are different things. Debit cards are the European style 'put in a pin and money is debited directly from your bank checking account'.
Credit cards are a revolving line of credit from a bank - you're spending against the LOC, and settle up on a monthly basis (to some extent - there's interest and pay-over-time involved in most as well).

The difference in accounts: banks offer substantially higher (although, basically still really low due to todays market) interest on money sitting in savings accounts, and restrict the use and availability of that money. Banks backed by the Federal reserve have to maintain a minimum ratio of deposited money to loans, and these restrictions/incentives are how they keep those in line and stay legal.

And for what it's worth, 99% of my spending is on a credit card, which I pay off monthly. I can't remember the last time I used cash or paper checks.

We also have many different ways to transfer money around, etc. using apps and things.
He's also asking for architectural diversity, though. He spends a long paragraph complaining that the buildings are "trite," "predictable," "without true historic reference," and all the other stuff that I associate with smug architects who design pretty, unusable public buildings.

His other arguments make sense to an extent, but frankly I tend not to trust any architectural commentary from people who judge a building by its cover, and I think the criticisms in these comments bear that out.

What is the Kubernetes hybrid cloud and why it matters
Highloadcup contest has started
AFAIU, none. It's designed for C, essentially, where signed integer overflows are undefined. In practice, the easiest and fastest design is to have it wrap around, just like unsigned.

I'm not sure I agree with that particular design decision, considering newer languages such as Rust that want to detect overflows. Then again, if/when such languages become more important, I guess RISC-V could add an extension featuring some kind of trapping overflow (or whatever mechanism is deemed best).
I'm not trying to defend the warts of the US banking system, but...

"Credit card" would be a third account that is purely debt-based. It's optional, and you can spend directly from your checking account with a "Debit card" instead. It's just not advisable, due to the broken-ass card system you described.

"Savings account" is optional, but earns interest. Does your single EU account earn reasonable interest? Long term deposit ("CD" and "Term Share") rates are currently around 3%, with savings paying 2%.

Combining checking and savings accounts can be done in the US in 2018. The 3 major online banks all allow you to setup an automatic "overdraft transfer", so you can deposit into your savings account, spend out of the checking, and have money automatically move between them. The remaining caveat is that you're limited to six of those movements from the savings per statement, which makes aggregating small transactions on a credit card handy.

I expect the caveat with this Robinhood offering will be a cap on the balance that earns 3%. You can find plenty of checking accounts with high nameplate interest (search for Kasasa), but they all demand some level of ongoing mindshare activity [0] and limit the amount they'll actually pay out, rather than functioning as true savings/moneymarket.

[0] Usually a certain number of debit card transactions per month, to better feed the surveillance databases.
And if you don't have the money, being elite at any other sport will do. Soccer, basketball, football, track, etc.

A run of the mill guy or gal with a straight A record and shooting 60% from three will find a ready welcome at Stanford. That same run of the mill straight A student would be laughed out of the room if they applied without the elite basketball skills. Your daughter might not have much of a chance as a simple straight A student, but if she has straight A's and runs a 48 or 49 second 400... yeah... I can guarantee you that they'll make room for her.

If you're talking about using sports to get in, then almost any sport will do, you don't have to have money for the expensive ones. Problem is, you kind of have to be elite to make it work. Four year varsity starter, state champion level basically.

> You can certainly provision docker containers using ansible / chef / puppet. It's not popular, because they do way more than is required in those situations normally

Could you elaborate on what you're referring to what they're doing beyond what's required?

> A lot of larger applications on dockerhub are done that way

From what I understand, you have to write the configuration management in a different way such that it doesn't require restarting services after configuration files have been updated. Converting an existing playbook or cookbook to work that way isn't trivial depending on how many things it's doing to provision the server.
There's good reasons for that.

Computers are a tool, and for a long time hardly anyone really needed that tool. By the 90s they were becoming a pretty significant part of every business, so we started to see the proliferation of computers in a home office and applications geared toward enabling the user to use a computer more effectively as a tool.

Then the internet happened. Now a lot of people were starting to own computers as a pure consumption device, a task for which it was never really the appropriate choice, just the only one. Consequently we started seeing the dumbing-down of everything, the locking away of "dangerous" functionality, the coddling, and the condescension.

Then smartphones and tablets became the consumption device of choice, so desktop computers went back to being tools, right?

Sadly no. Instead developers doubled down on the condescension and the locking down. Instead of trying to make computers into better tools again, they just try to make them more like smartphones.

I got into computing because of the promise it represented as a personal tool to enhance lives, and now I loathe it for what it has become.

> Money laundering and tax evasion are not 'arbitrary' laws.

Please define tax evasion. If country X's government legally authorizes a tax provision like mortgage deduction for tax reduction or tax-free interest or tax breaks for S-corps or tax reduction for exported payments, are these all tax evasion?

When people talk about companies evading taxes, they're really working through the tax code. Some countries have positive balance sheets and very little debt. They can afford to give companies tax breaks.

The Ars Technica article on this event [0] contains this interesting snippet:

>Probably the closest thing to [an internationally agreed upon boundary for "space"] comes from the World Air Sports Federation, or FAI, which uses 100km (the Karman line) to delineate the boundary of space for the purposes of establishing world records. However, this organization says it is looking at lowering this boundary from 100km to 80km, due to "Recently published analyses (that) present a compelling scientific case for reduction in this altitude."

>Much of the push for a lowering of the boundary has come because of work by Harvard University astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, who has argued that orbiting objects can survive multiple perigees at altitudes around 80 to 90km and that this altitude range is consistent with the highest physical boundary of the atmosphere, the mesopause.
