the same reason why everybody drafts/conscripts youngsters into the army - the youngsters dont ask questions, dont hold theirs superiors responsible and with great enthusiasm do what they told to do. A very powerful sledgehammer style tool. Obviously been there myself - not the army, that i dodged by the way of ROTC (USSR/Russia), i mean i've been to that place of stupid(well, looking back it looks that way even though it is in significant part a result of inexperience) unquestioning enthusiasm.
I would have been probably less irritated by something simple like "current serverless solutions". But I'm not a web developer and don't understand the differentiation details you mention, so I'm not in the target demographic here.

From my outsider's perspective, serverless is something that just recently came into mainstream usage. People who this product is made for probably see this differently and thus wouldn't have a problem with the formulation.

Language pedantry aside, good luck with your product launch :)

The good news is even if you see limited value in "liberal arts" the total value in the system will be higher, as automation retains or increases the existing value, and the displaced/retrained workers produce yet more value even if I accept the premise that it's limited.

That was sound economic theory somewhat before the digital age and zero marginal cost.

Before, to make more of x you needed more people, input goods, etc. But, when it comes to digital goods the cost of producing more of $x is 0. The fixed cost to produce Windows for example is high but the marginal cost to license Windows to a manufacturer is 0. No matter how many copies of Windows MS sells, they don’t need to hire more people.

There has never been a point in history where 10 people could produce a $1 billion dollar product like Instagram.

This can't help but to lead to a wider gap between the haves and have nots.

You can also set up Cloud Scheduler to push to Pub/Sub, which can trigger your function. This is helpful if you don't want your function to be available via a public HTTPS endpoint.

Nah, roll in, make some money, fuck off in two-three hours.
> Consider that they just spent $2 billion on a train station

This can't be anything other than corruption or incompetence. There is absolutely no way it can possibly cost that much. The new One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) cost about $3.8 billion, so almost twice that, but that should give you a scale... and this was done in a city not known for cheap construction costs.

SF's development and planning culture is just epically bad.

I have no knowledge about the actual process, but can only assume that everyone is allowed to build a plane. But flying it is ~probably~ hopefully the thing that‘s regulated.
From your reference:

"Last week saw the announcement of the world’s first “subsidy-free” offshore windfarm, the 750 megawatt (MW) Hollandse Kust Zuid scheme, due to be built by 2022 off the coast of the Netherlands, by Swedish state-backed utility Vattenfall."

I know that we are living in a time where words don't actually mean what they used to, but even here it is a stretch.

See how they use quotes between the term "subsidy-free"? It's because the money comes from a Sweden state-backed company. Where do you think that money comes from? The profits that the government generates from the value they product? No. It comes from taxpayers.

A couple of paragraphs below:

"These include a 650MW onshore windfarm at Markbygden in Sweden. Set to be the largest onshore scheme in Europe, it is under construction and due to be completed by the end of 2019. In November, aluminium firm Norsk Hydro agreed to buy a fixed amount of electricity from the windfarm for 19 years."

Hummm...so there is a company that promised to buy the energy from this other company for 19 years. Can we see the terms of the deal? As far as I can tell, this is all subsided somehow. If not directly, into the new plant, indirectly through tax-breaks for the buyers of the energy.

Last excerpt:

"At its simplest, subsidy-free means deployment without government-mandated support in the form of the types of scheme mentioned above. So, for example, without a FiT or CfD. On this measure, almost all of the projects listed above would count as subsidy-free."

A few more paragraphs below they even recognize that this is not subsidy-free.

If you keep going down the article, there is more admission about what they mean by "subsidy-free" and it's not what everyone who reads the headlines thinks it is.
Imagine how powerful a paid browser could become on this front. As people slowly become more privacy-aware this might be feasible.

By 2010, the administration I wrote this memo for would totally squander America's opportunity to lead the free world. Not learning from the US-MX war of 1840s or the Vietnam war of 1960s, we embarked on a costly and disastrous military initiative in Iraq. We destroyed privacy with the Patriot Act and crashed the global economy in 2008.

Seems like probably it's on the way out; they reduced the eligible mortgage balance from $1m to $750k too. Limiting it while rates are still lowish also reduces the amount of impact. I expect some of this is feeding back into housing prices by now, though; so maybe expect some push back.

It means that we support the same toolchain across Cloud Run (running on our fully managed infrastructure) as well as Cloud Run on GKE (running on your k8s cluster). For example:

```
# deploy to the fully managed product
gcloud beta run deploy --image gcr.io/foo/bar --region us-central1

# deploy to a GKE cluster
gcloud beta run deploy --image gcr.io/foo/bar --cluster myCluster --cluster_location us-central1-a
```

Cloud Run on GKE specifically adds the Knative CRDs (e.g. Knative Serving) to your GKE cluster, giving you additional autoscaling and different rollout primitives.

I think GP packed two things into a single sentence:

Microsoft adds Office 365 etc to Cloud numbers, G Suite is a separate line item.

Also, Microsoft has other products that neither Amazon nor Google even provide an equivalent for (such as Dynamics NAV), also added to Cloud numbers.
Ask HN: Most secure personal computer setup?
I am becoming more and more paranoid with who has access to my data. So I am trying to find the best solution for keeping data off other peoples hands.

With that in mind I would like have a solution which require fairly simple instructions to use.

I could set up a different machine which has the most secure OS (which is ?), a Tor browser, use VPN as default but what else ?

I am looking for keeping my shit secure and as much as possible keeping people out of my personal computer(s).

How do you guys go about this, specifically with security in mind ?

Thank you!
To add onto your comment - I'd also consider a work environment that automatically assigns the documentation, test-writing, etc. to a gender minority (or other minority) to be toxic.

>> A male ferret is called a hob; a female ferret is a jill. A spayed female is a sprite, a neutered male is a gib, and a vasectomised male is known as a hoblet.

Netlify’s offering seems to be a more polished experience for frontend devs. A dashboard to configure stuff like build commands etc is neat. The feature that i personally like is the ability to select any branch of the repo to be deployed by clicking a few buttons. Helps me immensely during dev/staging deployments. IMO, These tiny little features and UX differentiates Netlify from other static site hosting providers or DIY hosting
Whenever I think about Bank of America, I remember this:
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/bank-america-florida-foreclo...

"On June 3, Nyerges, two sheriff's deputies and a moving truck showed up at the local BofA branch. The deputies informed the manager that he could either pay the Nyerges' legal fees— $2,500—or the movers would start taking away the bank's furniture and cash"

Priceless justice!
I mean, yes, it does. But at that point...maybe you need it? :-/

It's a certification, yes, but in practice it is arguably more effective from a marketing perspective than it is from a farming practices/audit perspective.

You may be surprised by how many people think Organic == pesticide free, for example.
We're currently working on a similar problem. I think the most important part of predictive design is personalization. The author doesn't explicitly call that out, but I think it leverages one of the big strengths of AI/ML. A human designer can't maintain even 10 personalized interfaces or mentally track 100-micro journeys. They also can't be present with every user to adapt in real time.

An AI co-designer can. After a human designer outlines their intention the define the boundary conditions, the AI can start running MVP's. When the AI reports back on what results they're getting with different types of users/context, the designers can dig in together and iterate on "problem/opportunity" points in the product.

I'm very excited about this future.

Ah, thanks for the details there! So, given that my Cloud Functions project is a Go app (and would be the exact same code between Functions and Run), if I were to run that in a very minimal container (something like Alpine), I could get roughly the same cold start time as Cloud Functions, but fewer of them since I can respond to multiple requests using the same instance.

I'll probably do some experimentation on my end as well to test. Any suggestion how long I should wait between tests to ensure a cold start on both Cloud Functions and Cloud Run?
I had an Atari XE when I was 9. I used to write all sorts of games with it, starting with simple which way book type games and then moving on to 2 step animation and movement. I didn't have the optional floppy, so when I shut off the computer, my work was gone. I used to write the code in a notebook and have to type it in again. I used to keep it on and switch the TV back to TV and raise hell if my mom turned off the unit.

Then I moved on to a PC JR with Cartridge Basic and after that QuickBasic on Windows 3.1.

Fun times.
I agree completely with compensating for weakness, however while that is part of the article, it’s clearly quick to go back to the everything is really equal argument and even mentions how gender differences are a popular topic. So it’s mixed at best.
Is there support or integration for the new GCP web application firewall/security product?
That sounds like more like your landlord is antiquated, not banks. Not only does Venmo exist as an all-inclusive payment option, every major bank (i.e. not a local one with <15 branches) I'm aware of supports or provides a similar service like Zelle which is used by Bank of America, TD Bank, and others. I'm able to live my life almost entirely independent of banking at a physical location with the rare exceptions being obtaining a cashier's check and withdrawing or depositing large sums of money. There are regulatory/legal hurdles surrounding daily maximum transfer, withdrawl, and deposit amounts as well as what kind of reporting is required for really large sums (like the check you get at closing when you sell your home for example) but this is also the case everywhere else in the 1st world AFAIK.

Not on Cloud Run, though you can do this on Cloud Run on GKE.

There are some interesting billing implications of persistent connections (e.g. we don't know what's going on in that session [if there's traffic or not]), so we'll likely have to bill you the entire time the connection is open.

Yes and no--Fargate is a Docker container which runs on an ECS cluster that you don't have to manage, sure, but it doesn't scale down to zero. As far as I know, there's no support for running an HTTP endpoint and then having the container start in response to a request coming in. You could build that yourself (although I suspect it would require running some long-lived infrastructure, defeating the purpose of scaling the Fargate service down to zero) but I think the cold start times for a Fargate container would be prohibitive--maybe it gets better once you've already scaled up, but in my exploration I've seen Fargate take 45-70 seconds to run a new container. I suspect this is due to Fargate running in your VPC and therefore probably requiring a network interface to be created before the container can be ready.

The exciting part of Cloud Run for me is not that I don't have to manage a Kubernetes cluster, but that I don't have to pay for it when my service is sitting idle.
MEPs don't matter in this case. They've already voted. What matters now is how the EU Council votes. As far as I know, they need a qualified majority, meaning that 16 out of the 28 member states have to be for and 65% of the population of the union.

For me: because the languages that it is supposed to replace ie the C-style curly brace Lang’s in the systems/low-level/backend niches are all pretty bad. And a lot of us have used them for a decade or three so we are very aware of what’s bad.

If you come from Java/C# and discover the speed of C without the pain of C, or if you come from C/C++ and notice life with decent compiler messages, a nice package manager, sane modules etc. - that’s a fantastic feeling.
Not necessarily? Groove shutdown all of its online services in March but Microsoft is planning to leave it as the inbox offline player for the time being (even if it is just a sad shell of what it once was and dedicates a bunch of real estate to remind you that everybody else moved on to Spotify). The Ebook Store used an online service for DRM, plus all the various Store services themselves. It's certainly plausible they might shutdown all the online services and still provide an "offline only" non-DRM reading app.

Rebuilding Edge's Reading View is on the Focus Areas list for Edge-Chromium, so depending on how the EPUB system was built maybe that's just included in the Reading View rebuild. Certainly, if people provide it as feedback that it is something that people want, I expect they will consider what they can do. It even sounds like it may be the sort of thing that this Microsoft could also make an open source Chromium extension and let Chrome users have access to it as well.
you will have to forgive thanatos_dem, they most likely work somewhere similar to my last job..gigantic org..you can tell them 100 times the asteroid is coming, but they ignore it until almost impact. They also have a very entitled idea of software, where in my situation we used tons of IBM software for years and were pissed off when IBM came looking for their money.. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? our leaders even so called them thieves (funny since we were essentially stealing their software for years knowing full well it costs $$). Years later? nope not migrated away from the IBM stuff, who knew it takes tons of work when you ingrain in any tech for that long, and ya. a staff that needs training on the new direction etc etc.

I say good for oracle looking to want compensation for support. And thanks to oracle for keeping it open source.. and well..your comments on the matter actually feel clearer than some of the information put out by oracle themselves hehe..
It goes both ways. Young people have always - throughout recorded history (most likely before) been more progressive, but the progressive is not always good. Young people can be suckered into support evil things because they haven't been around enough to think through what the unintended consequence might be.

Middle aged people get more conservative in part because they learned from their mistakes in their younger years: there often is a good reason for the things done in the past and change can be for the worse as often as for the better - they know how to handle the problems of today and don't want to learn how to handle the new problems.

The elderly have a decline in ability (which they often don't want to admit). They need to be conservative because without their habits they cannot handle life. They also need to trust others to help them do things they no longer can. They thus tend to be too trusting because they have no choice but trust someone without knowing if that someone is trustworthy.

Note that I did not put ages above. People go through things at different stages. People can be taught wisdom to some extent. There are thousands of different things to apply the above too: once you get past about 5 years old you are probably simultaneously in each stage for different things you deal with.

It has a reputation for spaghetti code. Just as it's the simplest to reach for, it's the simplest to hack something together with, with no thought to overall structure.
I think you can force cold starts between your tests by re-deploying your function/container. You could (optionally) leave a small buffer (<1 minute) after the deployment to ensure that traffic has fully migrated.

> Do Developers Need to Become Managers to Make More Money?

50% said no. I think this is naive. We've had this discussion on HN before. Companies pay lip service to the idea that they have parallel tracks for management and engineering, but the reality of it is that it takes far more success to move up the engineering ladder.

You can be one of the very best engineers in your company, or one of many hundreds of senior managers, and make the same money. If you look at how many people are at each salary level, the higher you go, the worse the ratio gets of management to engineer.

If you want to get to the highest levels of the engineering ladder, you have to be one of the most well known engineers in the world. Or be a VP. It's not easy to be a VP, but there are far more VPs out there than Distinguished Engineers.
The sniff of ego, arrogance, exceptionalism, etc is a turnoff for me when job hunting. Sadly you don't always see that stuff until you join. And it also feels a bit inevitable - feels like every VPE I encounter does a lot of spouting answers instead of asking questions.
I created a system to convert Windows binaries to native Linux/OS X binaries and wrote my own implementation of a ton of Win32 APIs. Never did get Oblivion running, but did run several other games, most notably Prey. Eventually pivoted to implementing DX10 for Linux/Mac/Windows XP (back when Vista was the only one with it), and then the company died a little while later for unrelated reasons. You can read a postmortem here: https://daeken.dev/blog/2009-12-27_Alky_Postmortem.html
It's simply not economical to automate every job yet, although that time is fast approaching. Do you not see automation getting cheaper, more reliable and more accessible in the future? Would you put your own money on that prediction and invest in people-forward manufacturing companies instead of companies like ABB? Regardless of your feelings towards how I presented it or your value judgement or meaning, this change is coming, and we need to prepare. We can pretend it's not and get lapped again by countries that do, or we can lean into it and get there first, build a society around it where people can still create value and meaning even if menial and manual labor is automated.

Products produced by manual labor will be more expensive than ones that aren't. They largely already are. If the US wants to double-down we'll need to tax robots and apply tariffs to artificially raise the cost of goods produced through automation to even out the discrepancies in efficiency. Is that the path we want to go down? Or would you rather face facts and structure a society, take the yoke off the proletariat (haha) and allow all your fellow countrymen to benefit from the gift that is not having to do manual labor? Wanting your fellow man to toil away in a factory to support your lifestyle is the ultimate elitism.

It's like saying we should go back to the slide-rule because there's good jobs in making them, and you get that down home country feeling using one. I'm not going to be putting my money into slide-rules, I'll stick with Intel.
The World Happiness Report numbers are based only on the Cantril ladder. I don't get why they don't use an average of the Cantril ladder, positive affect, and negative affect.

The Cantril ladder asks respondents the following question:

"Please imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?"

Is this what people typically associate with "happiness"? This is more like "life satisfaction" to me. [1]
