My feeling is that greater proficiency in how code, leveraging the services can serve perspective employers. It's vague and I'm not sure if it can be quantified as easily as the RHCE, so let me give you an example.

With the RHCE you learn about configuring Linux systems. That is building single systems from scratch, configuring firewalls, service files, security configuration and so on. The old format when I took it was the RHCSA would teach you about the system through boot, and the RHCE would teach about how to configure the services, at least that's how one of my instructors put it.

In terms of real world work, at most companies most of this work/process is done in the beginning of their technical life (starting the company or new endeavor) and once you have a method of building servers, and working configurations you don't revisit these concepts as much. Maybe that is what the Ansible cert is supposed to address.

The hard part from an employment perspective is that this work is slowly moving away towards the cloud and all in one solutions which reduce the need for this type of administration.

The big shops have large processes which likely involve solving problems on a more abstract level than what you learn with the RHCE. It's important to know for sure, but likely 95% of these problems are solved on the configuration management, cloud provisioning, or some other level.

On the other extreme, the newer, smaller places aren't going to invest in building Linux servers. They are more likely to maybe have a Windows server/NAS or, more likely, all cloud services at this point.

As an interviewee I have seen this where you grind through technical interviews (about an hour of lots of arcane, frequently out of date questions) and they tend to want either drones to do grunt work with little opportunity for growth, or know their exact technical stack to solve some specific problem.

As an interviewer I see a lot of developer/jack of all trade types trying to sell themselves as system admins whereas its clear that they don't really know system administration. We had one candidate the other day who had worked for close to 10 years in the larger organization who didn't know what /var was. :0

There is still a role for the RHCE style engineers and I had a good time learning it, but at this point I'm not sure where that path will lead in the future.

I think a better use of time would be to learn python or javacript, find a way to apply it to the area you would like to do it, get a green lawn on github, learn how to do something impressive with some public APIs.

Just my 2c as a sysadmin take from it what you will.
And yet protected bike lanes are proven to vastly increase the number of people who are willing to bike, which then makes biking safer for everyone because of sheer numbers. I'm a confident enough cyclist to bike in the street, take the lane, and ignore all the honking assholes, but my girlfriend isn't. The protected bike lanes are great because it means we can bike to things together.
What you did was perfectly legal, and I assume that your state, like mine, has a law about stopping for pedestrians in the crosswalk. I feel the need to ask though why the race of the man who yelled at you bears mentioning?
> With a 1024bit DSA key last I heard, not very secure.

Breaking encryption of DSA and doing fake DSA messages are 2 very different tasks.

> And that is assuming the updater doesn't contain other flaws.

And you believe that a full TLS stack will have less flaws than a DSA-check? That Gnutls is simpler than gcrypt?

Your argument about flaws would push to have simpler code, not more complex one.
I don't think that is the blocker. You can pass a law that says "manufacturers that meet XYZ self-driving certification are exempt from liability".

The question of liability is always tough to resolve. Is Boeing responsible for the 737 MAX deaths because they wrote the faulty software? Is the airline responsible for poor training or buying the version without the "disagree" light? Or is the FAA liable for their poor oversight of the whole program? Arguments can be made for all three.

Seriously. Assange doesn't carry a cross on his back, he has histrionic personality disorder.
That just means that the protected bike lanes aren't implemented well enough. Amsterdam has plenty of different solutions for this problem; each direction of turning bike traffic accommodated to the same extent as turning car traffic is here.
Giving the manual a skim and following the built-in Emacs tutorial (C-h t) are probably good ideas, but not much beyond that - you don't need to learn elisp before starting to use Emacs.

You'll probably learn it well enough after you'll start tweaking your configuration file, and the best environment to do that is actually Emacs itself: the scratch buffer will start out in lisp-interaction mode, which means that you can execute elisp snippets with C-j, and being into Emacs also means that the documentation of the various functions and variables is just a C-h f/C-h v away.
The simple answer is bikes and cars should never share the same infrastructure. They'll never get along with each other and the bike loses every time. It also doesn't help that bikers don't follow the laws properly. Bikers have to pay attention more than drivers, they should act like it
My experience with HN is, there are some very thoughtful mathematicians engaging in deep research around here. Some of the posts here may make no sense to 99% of the readers ("why on earth should I care about 7-dim stuff, I just don't give a damn"), but it may just be the lightning strike needed for someone to make important breakthrough in certain area of mathematics.

Flipchips and Sunken Ships: Packaging Trick for Faster, Smaller Semiconductors
Well, it seems to me that constructing bike lanes piece-meal as roads are re-built is the most cost-effective way to do it, even if it results in a super fragmented bike lane network at first.

As far as bike lanes across freeway entrance ramps goes, great, if it's done right. The bike lane should be painted solid green or red where it crosses the ramp, with a "Yield to " sign. The rebuilt interchanges in my city are like this, and the coloured lane is a visual obstruction that forces drivers to take notice of any cyclists on it. I've both cycled on and driven across these lanes, and they work well, far better than the alternative.

Also, bike lanes on 55 mph roads is fine if there are no alternative roads for cyclists to use. Often, this just means paving a wide shoulder and putting regular "" signs as reminders to drivers. Even if only a few people a day ride it.

Huh? Property taxes are paid regardless of whether you store a vehicle on the street or not. They really have nothing to do with it at all.

I am both an Ex-Googler and a PhD researcher (working with human data). You don't require informed consent in this case, it's not human subjects research, and the terms of service cover this already. What is being done is completely legal and if people don't like it, they're free not to use the service.
I'm curious what you think AMP is then, because what you describe is, quite literally the AMP projet. (Google, as well as Cloudflare and Bing also add a cache on top of things to make the preloading faster, but that's not technically a part of the AMP standard).

I'll grant you that the branding/communication here is atrocious, but as I'm reading this, what I'm seeing is "They should have implemented <description of AMP>, instead they implemented AMP, which is much worse."
I read their privacy policy a while back and felt fairly grossed out by how contrary to their editorial stance and their actual practices were. Ended up subscribing to Ars because they turn the trackers off for subscribers.
Humans are deeply emotional creatures and it's most evident when you observe group-level decision making.

Individually, you and I can both agree that the bar is quite low for self driving cars. It just needs to do better than current drivers to be safer. We should adopt it immediately, if we can just prove that it crashes less.

Society doesn't see it that way. 1 crash is horrific. 1 accident, is proof the technology is flawed. 1 accident is 1 too many.

It's stupid, but that's how it is.
For comparison, the DoD's 2019 budget ($686B) is six times Microsoft's 2018 revenue ($110B). It is one-hundred and sixty-three times Netflix's $4B.

Add that to relative technical aptitude, regulatory compliance, etc. and it doesn't surprise me Government is going to take longer.
Linux Do It for the Children
I agree completely, what's holding back the established manufacturers is their culture. Their understanding of car experience is getting dated quickly.

I think at one point they will have to shake up and change. If they are smart, their executives will drive Tesla's as their personal vehicles until they understand what's all about.

These are not hard tech problems but for example, with the iPhone, it took quite some time for Google and Samsung to grasp the new expectation but Nokia and Microsoft never cracked it.
That isn't a whole lot. SF will be spending a billion dollars on the Presidio Parkway project for example.
On top of that, it's absurd that someone can add my phone number to their advertising platform to get my name. Unlike email addresses, phone numbers are rather finite, and the number itself is tied to a particular geographical area (for the most part).

On a related note, Facebook makes it so difficult to unlike things, unfriend people, and opt-out of information from individual advertisers. It's obviously hostile design aimed at making it as hard as possible to reduce your advertising value to them.

What Facebook is doing might not be illegal, but I think what they are doing is more unethical than many felonies. The people in charge of these decisions are getting wealthy from them, and they are never going to face consequences for their actions, which is a real shame.
The difference is that in the car all you do is press brake & gas, cycling requires some physical work to start up again.

I know it's breaking the law, and I don't usually do it, but when I cycle on a quiet residential street, I'm going to roll a stop sign.

Eh, I don't see the point. IMO, this already falls under the mission of the Air Force. I'm glad the senate is skeptical, and would be worried if they weren't; it's a silly idea.

I'd much rather have a Congress that is willing to question the president and reject his sillier ideas than one that follows his lead unquestioningly.
K7 Community Docs
Surely one can do much more good through their daily conduct, rather than only chipping in in exceptional circumstances?

And if a person is improving their community by their conduct, they recieve their information through direct interaction, rendering news irrelevant.
This prosecution is clearly politically motivated. Previous admin chose not to indict, politics happened and new admin decided to dig it up again.

That doesn't (and shouldn't!) render the criminal charges against Assange invalid.

The lack of legislation regarding politically motivated prosecutions doesn't mean that we shouldn't criticize them when they happen. It is simply wrong for governments to target individuals like this.

>normally such an argument would talk about the motivations of the Administration or prosecutors, although inconveniently for that this Administration has tons of on the record statements about loving Wikileaks

Pompeo and Mattis sure love WL! The administration isn't a single person, I'm sure Trump loves Pompeo far more than he cares for WL.

Besides, indicting Assange is an obvious move to discredit the Russia conspiracy theorist crowd.

>Next time, maybe in your original post tell us what the law and history is around indictments as you understand/have researched it, why this one stands out (not your feelings, actual numbers), why this particular incident of "politics" was wrong if that's what it was (since it was international of course it had to involve "politics" but that's a broader brush then you implied), etc.

I'm sorry, but this is just terribly lazy of you.

I wrote this regression tree tutorial a few years back that might be a good complement to the tutorial above since it covers regression instead of classification and goes on to talk about bagging vs random forest, out-of-bag samples, and tuning parameters: https://github.com/savagedata/regression-tree-tutorial I wrote it at the start of my career and haven't shared it beyond my study group, so I'm happy to hear feedback.
I work in Kendall sq and have wanted to ride my bike into Cambridge the past 5 years.

I’m (almost) deathly afraid to ride make the short 4 mile trek across the river for exactly this reason. I lament every day I get on the T to slog for 45 minutes on a decrepit, slow, and usually broken train system. I arrive to work bothered by my commute almost every day.

For Boston/Cambridge being such a bio and tech hub, it’s entire transit system (roads, busses, trains, biking) is amongst the worst I know of in the US.

Sad.
If true this could be because all governments tend toward corruption.
I don't disagree with that at all. The problem is that the correct sort of protected bike lanes never seem to appear in the US.
And if I hear some of those things through an apartment wall, without understanding that it's consensual, I'll probably call err on the side of caution and call the cops.
Like trains with Automatic Train Control. Unfortunately, it's hard enough to get our train operators to install Positive Train Control, never mind Automatic Train Control.
I've got to wonder how this will actually help at intersections - are stoplights really going to get dedicated phases akin to walk lights? Are there going to be stop signs where cars cross the bike lane?

I once hit a car on Mass ave (just south of Central Sq) that popped out across the bike lane (but stopping to oncoming cars), and I couldn't simply move left due to cars on my left. Luckily it was raining so the reason I couldn't stop was traction rather than having been going wicked fast. If there is simply a cut in a barrier for cars to go across at every existing sidestreet, it seems like more barriers constraining bikes (and visual noise for drivers) will make that even worse!

I'll admit it's been over a decade since I've commuted city streets on a bike, and I've never personally seen benefit from city bike lanes. Worrying about being doored, pedestrians stepping off the sidewalk, cars pulling out, and avoiding road debris all require keeping far enough left, and the bike lanes I've experienced actually hamper that. The only times I've ever worried about cars straight up plowing me from behind (/ wind suck!) have been on suburban/rural roads.
If it reduces cyclist deaths, then in absence of other factors it will by definition result in a relative uptick.
I find it amazing that although my list of advertisers is super long, not a single company on there provides a service that's remotely relevant to me or sells something that I would ever buy.

In fact, I've never clicked on an ad on Facebook. Not because I hate ads (I'm ambivalent about them) but because I've never seen anything relevant.

For all of the hype around how persuasive Facebook advertising is supposed to be, to me their ads and personalization are no better than random noise.

> These advertisers are running ads using a contact list they or their partner uploaded that includes info about you. This info was collected by the advertiser or their partner. Typically this information is your email address or phone number.

Newsflash, BuzzFeed's ad networks onboard and sync information about their readers in exactly the same way. Do people think that BF loads Quantcast, Scorecard Research etc onto their site for the good of their health?

That's not to mention the viral quizzes and other data gathering exercises that BuzzFeed invented and sold as a product.

I have no idea why people don't call BS on news orgs that run 'exposes' on Facebook's ad targeting, when they target, track and follow their readers in exactly the same way.
But when you fly there is still a human face ‘in control’ (even if not to a sufficient degree) you can blame: the pilot.
I am not sure thats a correct analogy. Driving a car to work is not an optional activity for most ppl. Ppl riding their bikes in the city are doing it for fun/thrill/whatever, its an optional activity for 90% of the ppl doing it.

I have a theory that most of these ppl would stop doing it once the thrill/'cool factor' goes away with protected bike lanes.

That may be the case but as my employer is learning it takes a ton of engineering effort to actually run a complicated, large scale oracle DB on the cloud. At every turn you either have to compromise on design or expend a ton of effort getting over the hurdle. Even at large scale running it bare metal and then distributing that around the world is easier (that's what we've been doing). Time will tell if the effort is worth it.
Wouldn't the Trump administration be kind with Assange as it was showed that wikileaks helped hurting the Clinton campaign?
Well, that's not how I see it so I'm going to deconstruct your statement and come to the conclusion that you are merely a collection of your own biases, your case is ultimately racist, and your snarky tone means that you can't possibly be correct.

“Postmodernity is said to be a culture of fragmentary sensations, eclectic nostalgia, disposable simulacra, and promiscuous superficiality, in which the traditionally valued qualities of depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the random swirl of empty signals.”
― Jean Baudrillard

An encyclopedia link for your reading pleasure: https://www.britannica.com/topic/postmodernism-philosophy

"There is an objective natural reality, a reality whose existence and properties are logically independent of human beings—of their minds, their societies, their social practices, or their investigative techniques. Postmodernists dismiss this idea as a kind of naive realism. Such reality as there is, according to postmodernists, is a conceptual construct, an artifact of scientific practice and language."

Only limited areas of the USA, as evidenced by my recent trip. That'll change over time, but as you also pointed out with the case of non-tesla chargers, one limitation of EV in general is the co-dependency on new infrastructure.
Ask HN: How to help non-technical designers work with CSS?
One of my coworkers is a graphic designer/illustrator kind of guy. He knows colors and how to draw and how to make things look neat and ordered, but he lacks an explicit understanding of UX and the technical knowledge to work with CSS. Lately, he has expressed an interest in wanting to help me with the styling of websites, which I would welcome, since I am not a visual person.

I would be grateful if you guys could recommend some resources (books, websites, etc) that I could give my designer friend to help him get started with understanding CSS and understand UX/UI patterns.

Maybe even a WYSIWYG app he could use while we transition him to directly dealing with the css files. I'm looking for a kind of friendlier Chrome DevTools he could fire up, not something like Dreamweave.

Thanks.
It does, thanks for taking the time. I would definitely be gunning for the "mainstream enterprisy" positions over the BAT wannabes given the option, but as some have said, sometimes the choices aren't that straightforward or open.
Another interesting thing to note: because of the negative sign, Minkowski space obeys an inverse triangle law: a straight line is the longest route between two points (in terms of the relativistic interval) rather than the shortest. That is the reason for "time dilation". Clocks don't actually measure "time", they measure the relativistic interval, which just happens to be what we call "time" in our own reference frame.

This insight makes it easier to understand the "twin paradox". If a clock takes any non-inertial trajectory between two events, its path through Minkowski space is shorter than it would be on an inertial (straight-line) trajectory, so the reading on the clock is lower than a clock that travelled on an inertial trajectory (straight line) between the same two events.
Battery life. And noise. And carrying anything substantial. And adding all the safety mechanisms that prevent it from killing someone in case of malfunction. And mechanisms to prevent it from being stolen or damaged. And autonomous navigation in case of unforseen obstacles (a construction crane?). And the ability to either land or negotiate a delivery point (imagine an urban road, with tall builings, walkways and traffic). And the ability to coordinate with other autonomous drones (avoid collisions, etc.).

I do fly a drone for fun as well. Last Christmas I had the idea of flying it over the frozen surface of a mountain lake, not far from my hometown. Well, about 30 seconds in, a pretty angry buzzard made a straight line for it and crashed it. It weighs about 2.5kg, it crashed on the ice from about 10m. No major damage, but retrieving it from there was, well, tricky :)

Here you can see an eerily similar incident:
