I run a data infrastructure on terraform and kubernetes. Things it gives me out of the box:

* DNS. This lets all the various components talk to each other across nodes (Airflow, Spark, Zeppelin, etc.). I can also, via VPN, connect to things to look at what's going on.

* Load-balancing. I create pods and then they run on the node where there's capacity without me thinking about it.

* Auto-scaling. I spin up pods and nodes get created to handle the load.

* Helm charts for things so I don't have to figure out how to run them myself.

* Built-in support in the tools I use. Airflow will spin up k8s pods to run tasks. Spark will spin up pods to run a job. Etc.
This is starting to feel like the mortgage crisis again - specialty tools that are not in themselves bad, are being misused to bolster affordability and in the process create very bad financial situation.

The HDHP + HSA are great for those that can afford them AND are in good health overall. Good employers also add to your HSA each year to help with the initial costs.

The HSA is a lot better than the FSA, which creates bad incentives on use it or lose it money.

The problem becomes when HDHP is used without a well funded HSA and with insufficient income to handle the deductible, together with health problems.

My partner had been renting her house out for about 5 years with the usual annoyances, when the newest tenants left a cabinet on a cord that after a few months started an electrical fire that torched the place. No one was injured and it was (mostly) covered by insurance, but it was still 6+ months of dealing with all the claims and repairs and getting it back into shape. And to top it off, the tenants took her to small claims court for the security deposit! (They lost.)

Feedback: your pricing section was a bit confusing. It says "Pro Lite" and "Pro Plus", and both list the same long list of features.

In reality it's just "Pro Monthly" and "Pro Yearly" where the only difference is you save 30%.

The "Lite" and "Plus" part makes it seem like there are three plans and the Plus one has the most features/benefits...
Closed Spec Checking – Inside Clojure
I immediately signed up, as this is the kind of tool I could really use. There are a number of scenarios (especially financial ones) that involve uncertainty in my life, and I've been attacking them with spreadsheets and later Mathematica. But spreadsheets are too simple, and Mathematica is too cumbersome. Applying probabilistic programming tools is too complex: I would spend way too much time on details. So, this seems like just the right tool for the job.

Example scenario: should I pay off my mortgage, which is in a foreign currency?
You know how you can write a daemon that starts a service, and then restarts the service if it crashes. Usually you'd use a service like that in your operating system init process: System V, Launchd, Systemd, Runit, etc. Now imagine the ability to do that in a program. You can write an elixir process, start it with a supervisor, and if the process crashes, the supervisor automatically traps the exit signal & and starts a new process. No messing around with operating system init shenanigans required!
It touched my heart :( I worked more than one year on a service virtualization project in my previous job with 6-7 people and it has never been used by a real customer because of really bad management. I am still so angry. Our product was able to scale thanks to nomad+docker and had a cool ui to configure services such as rest, swagger, plain http etc.

There are a lot of conditions for which we don't have good answers. If you have something the world doesn't know how to fix, the reality is you aren't getting the help you need even in a good system. In the US, this gets compounded by systemic issues.
What about having a home router which had a visual alert to all outbound traffic from connected devices to their locations.

I broadly agree with the basic point this guy is making, we have an issue where the HR gatekeepers (who don't have the knowledge to make accurate technical assessments) are effectively searching for a perfect match, rather than someone who could do the job well.

Don't put box tickers in charge of a critical function unless you want every thing they touch to be turned into an exercise in box ticking.
So sad. Humble, open minded genius. I was hugely impressed the first time I learned about Erlang and impressed again when I saw how welcoming and open minded he approached Elixir and it's community. A great man has left the planet :-(
Absolutely not. Because you dont know my audience and intent. Therefore I don’t trust your claims even if the benefit is clear as day.

its like saying your product will give me an infinite lifespan: very clear and desirable value prop, but would I believe it? no

It’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure the reason why a dictionary can’t have a dictionary as it’s key is because the dictionary class doesn’t implement the __hash__ method that would compute the hashcode.
> How do you convince someone like this that universal healthcare is better for all of us?

Here is one approach.

1) Enumerate the different options.

2) For each option, enumerate the upsides versus the downsides, which includes cost of implementation and operations, along with their likelihoods. Every option has potential downsides -- are we willing to accept them for the potential upsides?

3) Rank the options by expected utility. Which one comes out on top?

Ironically, you may find that universal healthcare is not the top-ranking option or that we have not yet come up with a high-expected-utility option.
Haha yes — glad that came across :) It's still very early days for the product, but the basic "building block" for models will be these nodes that you see on the demo. They can be fixed constants, inputs, functions of other nodes, etc. You can create these nodes and define how they related to one-another — this is the "model". Then you can decide what kind of outputs you care about and how you want to show them.

Probably sounds quite abstract! If you leave your email on the site then I'll drop you a line as soon as we're ready to show the product :)
The 2300 number is commonly cited, but more recent surveys suggest average panel size is much lower.

Recent studies of various practice settings in the United States and abroad found current panel sizes ranging from 1200 to 1900 patients per physician. For example, Kaiser Permanente reported a mean per-physician panel size of 1751 patients, and Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound reported a panel size of 1490 patients per physician.18 The US Department of Veterans Affairs reported a mean panel size of 1266 patients per full-time equivalent physician.19 One study in Canada found a panel size of 1400 patients per PCP.20 A study in Denmark found a maximum level of 1600 patients per physician,21 and a study in England found 2033 patients per solo physician.22

I believe that it is the case when we should not lower the level because stupid people exist. My anecdotal experience with medicine is the experience of the doctors making decisions about my body use by themselves, being unable to support my decision making process by their expertise. I suppose it is due to the reasons listed in the article discussed. Doctors rely on unscientific knowledge (it is ok, when there are no scientific knowledge) and lack a mental discipline to demarcate in their mind scientific and unscientific knowledge. So when I start answer questions, like "if I have been riding my bike for 10 years already and there is no retina detachment, might we see it as an evidence that all is ok and a retina detachment is an unlikely outcome in my case", the doctor asked cannot say nothing of importance. All she could is to continue to insist that I should abandon my bike. But it is not her decision, it is my body, so it is my decision. I asked about physiological mechanism behind a retina detachment, to understand it and to be able to limit my physical activities, to find a compromise between no physical activities and retina detachment. She was unable to answer my questions.

Why? Because her knowledge is tribal ritual knowledge, not a scientific one. Her knowledge is a bunch of rules in a form "if <symptom> then <treatment>". Completely useless knowledge for my decision making process.

So it is a good thing when mass-media brings an attention to this sad fact. We need to bring an attention to this, to make medicine to think big phylosophical questions and to change itself. On the way of this we can damage people with a bad decision making process, who could stop brushing their tooth because of headlines. It is bad, but there are upsides of that: next time when they come to a dentist, they will get an evidence that their decision making process is not perfect. So they will be able to learn something. To my mind, a couple of teeth as a payment for an improved decision making process is a good deal.
One important point I didn't see mentioned was the other side: engineers also think they're worth more than they are.

I posit the big VC-backed or FAANG companies 1) can offer huge initial salaries to not have to deal with competition 2) hire juniors at high salaries because they can afford to spend 1-2 years training them. Combine with the sheer volume of hiring they all perform, and it starts to set some false expectations. Maybe smaller companies are failing at capitalism by not competing?

Anecdotally, I have seen engineers refuse pretty good gigs because they were expecting to be treated like royalty without much to back it up. This industry is skewed, in many ways.
Erlang was one of the first interesting languages I learned after the “basics” (C, C++, Java, JavaScript, etc) and even though I never actually used it for anything real, just learning it opened my eyes to a bunch of concepts that have been useful over the years.
I had a recruiter call me a year ago with what sounded like a really amazing offer. Working for a well funded startup on a problem in which I happen to be a domain expert.

They're aren't many expects in my field with my background and skill set and they said the right things to get me to interview (compensation won't be a concern).

Anyway... Went in for 4-5 interviews. Took me about 10 hours in total to interview with them.

Kept hearing that they have a difficult time filling the position. Reports directly to the CTO, etc, etc.

They came in at 1/2 my current salary. It was about 30-40% of what you would pay a decent engineer with experience.

I told them my salary level BEFORE the interview...

Gave them a hard now. They came back and said they can offer more stock and remote work.

Why in the heck would I turn down a bird in the hand for 1x in the bush?

Part of the problem is that if you're interviewing you need to know what you're buying!

You can't go to a ferrari dealership and offer to buy one or $20k.. that's just not how it works.
The Problem with Automation
Nest Guard is a monopoly? Or were you referring to something else? I also think a lot of this is completely non-essential (e.g. Nest Guard). I do not have any such "smart devices" at home, and encourage others to do the same. They provide, in my opinion, very little benefit for a great sacrifice. And all that aside, they're just too dang expensive. I don't see the point of spending $600 on a machine-learning toaster.
One reason Erlang can do this is by having a preemptive scheduler. [1] In a single threaded language like JavaScript, if something blocks for 1 second, nothing else happens for 1 second. In Elixir, you can have N things that each block for 1 second, and have them all still complete in one second, even if you are running on a single core.

That jives with my personal experiences with Joe. I don't think he misunderstood you.
It's a good idea, but I think a separate switch might be better. I might want to talk on a non-video normal call (most of what I do) or record something but not use the camera, and would want to keep it shut. I think many other people might use the microphone separately from the camera as well.
If there was a civilization 50 million years ago, I would think some parallel species or genus would continue that DNA lineage to this day.
That's the whole point of the nit-picky requirements: they often don't want to fill the positions with locals. They really want a more malleable, and often cheaper, workforce using H-1B's etc. but can't go that route until they can document that there is no locally available talent.
Easy to blame it all on HR. I've witnessed many engineers draft reqs that included all kinds of unnecessary "musts".
Aww, thanks for sharing. If anyone has any questions, let me know and I would be very happy to answer them!
I was outraged when I found out about this and made this clear to their support. They didn't even respond.

Switched to Prime Now and have never looked back:

- Has an actual consistent service level, I've had some crazy Instacart people here in Arizona.

- The tip has a default value, pre-calculated based on your order.

- No more orders where half of my items get cancelled as out of stock.
First of all congratulations. It looks like a nice app and productivity booster for GMail.

I just wanted to point that e-mail undo is present is in standard GMail. The feature started as a lab feature and added into standard muster of features sometimes later.

This makes selling e-mail undo in the professional plan a bit of a contradiction IMHO.

Other than that, everything looks good, congrats again. :)
I always enjoyed watching his talks.

My feelings to friends and family.
I believe there are reasons to be unhappy about those services, but you don't have to use them, whether you're a restaurant or consumer.

And senseless leftist opinions are devaluing the article. Example:

> They made sleek apps and clever algorithms, and paid people who couldn’t find a job a fraction of their labor value to pick up food and drop it off at your house.

These exploited people didn't make any fraction of their labor value prior to betting exploited. Why do they work when they're free to avoid that exploitation?

If the article had details on how customers get screwed, that would have helped. But overall repeat customers don't care about how items are organized, they look at the total price and whether the transaction makes sense for them.

I don't give a crap if the burger I ordered is X% cheaper at the restaurant that makes it. If it can be delivered in time and the total price is lower than the value I attribute to this service, it's a good deal for me.
then give them something quite indigestible and toxic to stare at rather than a blank nothing.
Hello, and thank you for your comment and for explaining how you feel.

What you have said is true but I'm not sure you fully understand how DarwinMail works.

I hope to alleviate your concerns somewhat by explaining.

DarwinMail does request and use your individual access tokens from Googles API servers in order to retrieve your emails.

All the displaying is done on your browser. Any action you take for your emails is done on your browser. Any email you type and send it handled in your browser.

Sure, DarwinMail is hosted on a server (Linode) but that's just to store the DarwinMail website on the internet so you can visit it.

Even without open sourcing the code, you can still see all of the code that does the above managing of your emails in your own browser! Just right click -> Inspect -> Open up the sources tab and you can see it all! It's not hidden!

In fact, search for Sarge's posts on this thread... that gentleman was looking through the code, reporting bugs to me and telling me how to fix them!

Furthermore, Linode does not take security lightly and are trusted by many many companies and individuals. See for yourself:

I’m interested in trying to solve this problem by helping people express how they have relatable skills, rather than direct experience. In particular, I believe that the opportunity is to highlight during person to person conversations during an interview a person’s relevant, but perhaps not directly related, skills. Interviewers often just ask, “have you written in X” as an example, and candidates don’t know how to properly answer that question as “Not directly, but I’ve written in Y which is similar. Happy to discuss my experience there with you.”

If anyone is interested in trying out this process at their company, my email is in my profile.

Would geostationary satellites from a previous civilization still be orbiting in an approximately geostationary orbit? Or would they have been perturbed enough that they would either exit earth orbit or impact earth? Or pounded into dust by collisions?

If a previous civilization had metal-based moon landers, would we likely have found them/found areas with an unlikely amount of metal on the moon? Or would they have probably been obliterated by meteorites by now?
> I think the widescale lack of communicating without empathizing pheromones is quite obviously making a shitstorm of the whole wide world.

I rather believe that deep empathy for your own groups is the cause of many shitstorms. To quote from the article:

"For example, we often think of terrorists as shockingly blind to the suffering of innocents. But Breithaupt and other researchers think of them as classic examples of people afflicted with an "excess of empathy. They feel the suffering of their people.""

>My dentist and his team of hygienists are big fans of waterpiks, but not as a substitution to anything. You would still brush and floss (with string) as usual.

Same as mine. Well, sort of. They never recommend Waterpiks, but they all say "Cool! You use a Waterpik! I hope you're still flossing with string, though".

>A waterpik used incorrectly may cause gum problem

Evidence?

Also, are there incorrect ways of using string floss that can cause dental problems?

>If you put the thing on the highest setting and aim it so it pushes your gums up that may cause damage.

"May" is not good enough. What is the evidence? There are plenty of people who use it at the full setting. It's not hard to study the topic. Of course, Waterpik muddles the issue because the highest setting differs from product to product - but when they publish their papers they specify a precise pressure, which is easy to measure. The other reason I ask: Their papers showing that Waterpiks are as good at removing film than string floss use fairly high settings.

>But if you keep it at a low / medium setting (a lot of waterpiks go from 1 to 10 at 0.5 intervals in terms of pressure) and aim the water straight at your teeth and trace your gums then you should be good (there's videos showing how to do it). Not only does it remove all sorts of food particles, but it also stimulates your gums.

If I do this, can you explain why I still need to use string floss? Do you have any studies showing that string floss is more effective than Waterpik when a Waterpik is used properly?

I appreciate your willing to share the information you have heard/read, and please don't take this as an attack on you, but your comment is a classic example of what I'm complaining about. Lots of claims, but not pointing to a concrete study.
My impression from everyone I talked to is that Packt does not care about quality or accuracy, but aims to print a book as fast as possible. I also spoke to an author of a Packt book who said they'd never work with them again.

I'd also note that I often find Packt books which don't even spell the name of the topic they're covering correctly, right on the cover.
That is going to be very hard to implement; arguably impossible.
Made my first ever HN throwaway account to respond to this.

I have been running a successful business, but it's not "tech". I want to get back into the software industry. I didn't have a software business idea, so I explored some tech company jobs.

I am well-qualified at the VP/Director level for startups and even larger companies.

I did go so far as to do an on-site interview for one company. I have verifiable proof that I can generate huge returns in their exact industry.

They didn't want to give away any equity, even though hiring someone at this high of a level would generate huge returns for their business.

They had a completely undefined budget not only for this role, but for the 4-6 people who would be underneath this role starting out.

They weren't even sure they wanted to hire someone full-time, but they knew this position was a clear gap in skillsets of their current executive team.

And the kicker to all of this was that they were already doing 8 figures a year in revenue. This wasn't a broke startup.

I rapidly came to the same conclusion as the post's author. There are so many companies that want to hire a "VP of X", but they really don't understand what that means or how to pay someone who doesn't just want a 6-figure a year salary for the rest of their lives.

I'm now starting a software company.
