A few tech notes:

- We are a pioneer in using an open source MySQL clustering solution called Vitess. It was created originally to host the data for YouTube and has just been accepted as a cloud native computing foundation project. We have worked with the google team to implement it here at Stitch and have enjoyed contributing to the project.

- We recently migrated our dev environments from Vagrant to Docker, and we have active initiatives to Dockerize our production environment.

- Our main application is running on Laravel 5.5 and all applications are running PHP 7.1

- We have various microservices running Laravel and Lumen all running out of Docker containers orchestrated through Kubernetes

- We regularly host the Laravel SF meetup group (Come join us!)

- All applications we write have a heavy focus on Object Oriented Programming and automated unit / functional testing

- We have invested heavily in getting all of our internal company data into BigQuery. We use it to introspect and drive decisions frequently, especially in the engineering department.

The rural lifestyle you're describing has a much higher ecological impact than an urban lifestyle. And many people now, myself included, prefer a lively city where I meet and see lots of people, rather than the isolation of rural life.
The article was focusing on the environmental impact of different living situations, and rural living is horrifically environmentally unfriendly. It would also be financially untenable if rural areas weren’t massively subsidized by urban economic centers. If you had to pay for the true cost of building and maintaining the infrastructure you use (which would be amortized over very few people due to the low population density) you wouldn’t be bragging about how cheap rural living is.
For more on human irrationality in product choice you can try the documentary 'Century of the self' by Adam Curtis. You can find it on youtube.
Not a correct reading. They had negative nine figures of "profit".
Honest question. Is being a barrista better, or just different?
Those problems are solvable. My perception... the real problem is Americans expect a lot of space. They would rather trade quality for sqft. A 2200sqft TH with thin walls is more sellable than a 1600sqft TH with thick walls.

Additionally, THs are considered "starter" homes. Certainly here in DC, a couple is expected to "move up" to a single-family in the outer 'burbs when their family grows.

It's all quite silly. And I say that having bought the single family in my 20s, hated it, sold it in my early 40s to go back to a TH. Now I walk to work, shorter drive to pretty much everything when needed, less maintenance. I'm much happier.
It would be great if you could filter for the lack of (or the opposite of) some value... e.g. flat organization.
Several 404 for me as well, but because they're trivially malformed.

Portchain | Copenhagen, Denmark | Full time | REMOTE | Front-end Software Engineer

We're hiring one front-end developer (NodeJS, ReactJS, Typescript, PostgreSQL) to join our team of 5 remote developers (incl. the engineering manager onsite in Copenhagen).

Experience working remotely. Minimum 4 years of professional software engineering experience.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience.

We have paying customers and starting to get traction through pilot projects, therefore looking for 1 new member to join our team.

I am always confused by these "what-about" posts. Are you saying western democracies are the shining examples of equality so if they enact something bad, everyone should follow ? Or that China given a free pass because western democracies do it? Or that this is not a big deal because everyone does it?
> If you are going to ban the CP, who is doing to do that, how will they be paid, and how will you handle their PTSD?

We have always had a solution to this. The party responsible for identifying the Really Bad Stuff is the government, the party who goes to jail is the user who posted it, and the extent of the platform's responsibility should be to remove the content in response to a court order (which the uploader would have the right to argue their case against).

This makes removing content expensive -- it requires litigation. This is on purpose. It then satisfies the concern with CP, because that is serious enough for the government to expend the resources to get the court order. But it serves as a bottleneck to casual censorship, and it removes the responsibility for making legality determinations from the intermediaries who are totally unqualified to be making them.
just give you some context:

All bullet trains sell some tickets without seats. The price is the same as normal seat ticket but only for busy time like holiday season. Most time trains are not fully loaded so usually there are no dispute for seat being occupied.

There were a couple of incidents video uploaded on to Chinese social media that some bullet train travellers sat on the seat belong to others who purchased seat tickets. In both cases the owners of the seats asked the train attendants to arbitrate.However train attendants are all females with no law enforcement authority. Both bullies (one male, the other female in separate incidents) finally ended up with no consequences at the time. The videos got viral and caused public outrage. Under the pressure, the train company announced the the punishment of half year ban . That means within 6 months these 2 people have to travel with bus services like greyhound, or maybe with unpopular normal green trains like those in US and Canada. (I don't believe US and Canada have bullet trains)

I'm sure there are many such incidents happened in busy time but those 2 were captured by smart phone then uploaded to social media. Then the identities of bullies were discovered by those who recognized them and spread to public along with all other information which cause much more trouble than half year ban of bullet train. Where were the policemen? Bullet train don't have police. Victims have to wait to next station if they really want police involved. Nobody bother to waste time for those small civil dispute. Only thing they want to do is put the video on internet.

That's why there's a ban on not following the rule that yield the seats belonging to others
With $4 million in unpaid airport fees, one could fantasize it was stolen for insurance fraud.
That's likely a function of when you came of age. (FWIW, I also came of age in the late 90s, and a Win98-style GUI feels perfectly natural to me.) Folks who were working with computers in the 70s are perfectly comfortable with green-screen terminals. Kids who grow up today think anything that doesn't look like either a mobile app or a Bootstrap webpage is archaic.

System Z revenue was up 70% in 2017, to nearly $3B/quarter [1]. That's pretty appreciable for any product. The PC market is definitely bigger, but it's on the same order of magnitude as brand-name PC manufacturers. Acer, for example, makes about $2B/quarter [2], while Apple makes about $8B/quarter from Macs [3][4]

Sysdig | Open Source Engineer, Falco | Remote - Any Location or Onsite - San Francisco, CA | https://sysdig.com/jobs/

Apply Now: https://grnh.se/ab298b881

Sysdig is the cloud-native intelligence company, and we’re at the forefront of the container and microservices adoption in the enterprise. We make reliable, secure containers a reality for enterprises everywhere.

We’re passionate about solving the most complex operational challenges that companies face when they transition to Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud-native architectures at a massive scale.

We are looking for an Open Source Engineer to work on our container anomaly detection tool, Falco, and related open-source projects. This is a highly impactful role as you will be architecting, designing and developing Falco and be one of our advocates in the open source community.

This person should have extensive experience in system-level software development and should be passionate about Open Source projects. Falco is a key component of Sysdig’s stack.

Falco was recently accepted as a sandbox project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, which is home to projects like Kubernetes and Prometheus.
> I think it is fine for people to throw out ideas that they can't execute, as long as they don't have the power to demand their implementation.

It is -- that's called "brainstorming," and it's a valuable activity. But that's different from being an "idea guy".
Actually, we are pretty marginal on sed, but point taken. It feels like there's a difference between "stream mode" and "program mode".

I remember when awk was first implemented. sed was already standard, and awk was this new thing. I love it, and for some things it's my "go to" language. That colors how I think of it - I think of it as a language.

But this has been done to death, everyone is jumping on me, so there seems little to add.

Yeah, I tend to be not interested in customization, and I believe "general population" UX studies show that most people (not necessarily devs) aren't interested in customization either.

An example of a tool set in a similar space as GH that has prioritized customization are Atlassian Confluence and Jira. How many of us enjoy that software? More than GH?

Customization can't save software that hasn't gotten the UX right in the first place.
That can only ork in the short term though. If they go bust prices will go up for consumers due to constrained supply. If they move abroad to avoid the tariffs, we’ll presumably the reason they didn’t already do that was higher manufacturing costs abroad, so again increased costs for consumers, even if less than the tariffs.

You can put it off for a while, but not indefinitely. After all the justification given for the tariffs was to make less efficient local production more viable. Higher consumer prices are an explicit part of that calculation.
Lendable | London, UK | ONSITE

Lendable is the UK's fastest growing consumer lending platform. Well-funded and profitable after only three years, we're a small team of high performers who have built outstanding technology to deliver real innovation in lending.

> Then they slowly turn into a datacenter company and lose sight of being a ride sharing company.

That assertion makes no sense at all, particularly if we acknowledge the fact that they are in the business of providing a web service. IT infrastructure is critical to Lyft's core business.

Would it make any more sense to criticise Lyft for hiring developers because that would mean they would slowly turn into a software development company?
Apache Flink Roadmap
Very much so. The cost benefit analysis must also question how much it would cost to educate the teams on the new hosting tools. Management has clearly decided that it’s not worth the retraining and loss of productivity.
I’m making the point that you have two cos whose main US product is virtually indistinguishable from one another. The founder from one became a multi billionaire and the others are 1/20th of the way of becoming one.
Think about any movement out there at present -- MeToo, conservative agenda, liberal agenda, organic produce, gentrification, almost any major movement. If you really get into the issue, you find that the symbol of the thing is actually a very, very small almost non-representative case of the situation as a whole.

Also, sometimes the symbol becomes the focus, instead of the actual underlying value.

As always the rare, incredible threat dominates our minds so much more than the mundane everyday threat.

It can also more easily go viral. Here's how ordinary, regular people can help. When people start being extreme and a bit divorced from reality and engaging in violence, unsavory almost-violence, and untruthful agenda pushing, people need to call it out, and also call it out from their own sides. It's a failure of calling out one's own side which reads as tacit approval and most strongly gives the false impression to others that the extreme represents the median. Understanding this is one key to understanding why the views of reality diverge so strongly between groups in society in 2019. The tricky part of this, is that to be able to do this, you have to poke your head out of your "side's" information bubble. (If you think your side is 100% in the right, you're not poking hard enough!)

There are forces in society who claim to be championing human rights, but then throw out fundamentals like due process, paint entire groups with a broad brush based on surface characteristics, and engage in the same sort of tactics that the Westboro Baptist Church and the people in the past who tried to exclude Jewish people, blacks, and homosexuals from the mainstream and most valuable parts of society. It's just harder to see, if it's being done on behalf of your own "side."

The real conflict in 2019 is the mainstream vs. the extremes. The extremes actually don't have the same values as the mainstream. The extremes have the advantage of stealth, by re-framing everything in terms of "us vs. them." What they really want is to create more outrage to roll the dice and increase their own power.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc

Stop believing so much in symbols.

Start "following the money." Start examining what's happening in terms of how media uses a basic emotion like outrage to go viral. Who benefits?
We can't prove a negative. If you want to convince us that Google and Facebook were motivated to hire in NYC because of tax incentives, provide some evidence. Otherwise, I don't think it's a compelling point.
That's all we're talking about; thread parent said "reduce their public bandwidth cost to half". Obviously, you can argue that this price change idea is not strategically in AWS interest (AWS management agrees right now), but the trivial nitpicking ITT is misguided.
> It’s the lack of user focus. Setting up a bitcoin account, understanding the security implications, hardware wallet, secret keys, the whole enchilada is too big for an average consumer to digest.

I respectfully disagree. Bitcoin solves problems that the average consumer didn't care about, plus it introduces new problems.

I would never make an everyday purchase with Bitcoin. If I don't get the product I was promised, I can file a dispute with my credit card company. If the product I purchased breaks, it may be covered by a warranty from my card company. If my card number is stolen, I get reimbursed for the fraudulent charges and get a new card in the mail. None of these conveniences come with cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency solved a problem with moving money ~anonymously with no interference from authorities. Most average folks want the exact opposite of that.

I’m not sure it’s comparable. There’s a lot of information you need to keep an eye on when flying. Speed, altitude, attitude, coordination, heading, position, etc. Lose track of any of those and you can get behind the airplane and crash.

In a car, you sorta need to know your speed, and that’s it. Even speed is not entirely necessary. In an ICE car you also might want to keep an eye on engine RPM, oil temperature, and other such things, but you don’t need them in an EV

If all your instruments go out in an airplane, it’s an emergency. Depending on the aircraft type and situation, it may mean certain death. If it happens in a car... I’m not convinced most drivers would even notice. Those who do would only be mildly inconvenienced at worst.

Edit: here’s an example of an airplane with side by side seating and a central instrument panel: https://www.pipistrel-usa.com/taurus/. Gliders are much more car-like in their instrumentation needs, although they still need a bit more, and losing them all is still an emergency.
Does it test against and prevent over-fitting?
I'm not really sure it's a criticism, more just an minor splash of inchoate rage, and we're supposed to sort of figure out the implied criticism. Which is, I assume, that perhaps more people want a massive house in the middle of nowhere than don't, and that most people don't actually want to live in a city, but put up with it for one reason for another. And then perhaps this massive house should be the ideal home, because what is the point of an ideal if it's something that most people don't want?
Multiple reasons.

First, cases take a long time to wind through this process. SCOTUS picks cases for the next year, they take months to decide and write up, and all this requires a test case to have reached them in the first place.

The justices may also not yet feel comfortable enough that they know exactly where the dividing line is to take on a test case, either.

Not much moves quickly in the court system. Not having a follow-up a case in the very next term isn't indicative of much.
https://levels.fyi to make sure the level/comp accurately represents what i'm looking for
So you think they'll stay solvent for 25 years?
We know the ipRGCs receive cone and rod inputs and that non-melanopsin responses (from rods and cones) drive a lot of the reaction at lower light levels.
That he held a private pilot's license doesn't tell us much. You can get a private pilot's license without ever flying anything bigger than a single-engine Cessna. A multi-engined jet aircraft like a 727 is a completely different beast.
