Are you an eCommerce company who is looking to save money on hosting through extensive automation?

Working with iOffer[1], an established eCommerce platform, we cut their hosting costs by 80%, while matching the previous hosting provider's SLA. This added up to more than $500,000 per year in hosting cost savings.

Here's what iOffer's CTO had to say about the outcome of our work together:

> “If you point to any particular piece of our infrastructure, Fuzzy Logic has improved it. Everything is automated – all the provisioning, new services. We have a complex setup with all the applications, databases, storage and search servers. Fuzzy Logic set it up in a way that we’ll be able to continue to grow each of the services.” – Ian James, iOffer CTO

As the Principal of Fuzzy Logic, a Seattle-Based DevOps consultancy, we have deep experience in providing our clients with the business results they need through technical solutions:

- Infrastructure deployment - Code-checking/deploy - CI/CD - Best practices for on-premise or public cloud management

Clients who have worked with use have experienced great results, including:

+ Savings in excess of $1.4M/yr through environment-wide migrations from Rackspace fully-managed hardware to a private-cloud Openstack environment

+ A 33% savings from previous OpEx through optimizing public-cloud spend, replacing expensive SaaS products with internal services, etc

+ An 85% reduction in 'time to first commit' for DevOps engineers (going from two weeks to two days) through improvements to documentation and optimizations to the onboarding process

I wouldn't recommend Qt on mobile.

It's got rough edges and is neglected.
Anything that appreciates at 5% per year is not going to be affordable.
Do you disagree with that?

nice! Did you think about connecting it to spreadshirt or a similar T-shirt producer? There is a service with random text designs already, http://zufallsshirt.de - they even generate T-shirts from "non-notable" Wikipedia discussions
This makes me think of a quote on humans and science.

Italo Calvino said, "science interests me precisely because of my efforts to escape anthropomorphic knowledge; at the same time, however, I'm convinced that our imagination can only be anthropomorphic".

I'm not sure how to take in this quote - I wonder where humans stand in the progression of science.
The current crop of cars use a paddle on the steering wheel, typically above the shift paddles, to actuate the clutch.

So you could use your left foot to operate both brake pedals, either individually or together, and your right foot to operate the throttle.
Console makers would like you to repurchase your game every 5 years for the new console, if they deem the game fit for re-release.

Whereas I've basically been copying the same DooM 2 install from computer to computer for 20 years.
World of Goo Update, 10 Years Later
> not having to support IE4.x and NN4.x when it hit sufficient market share was really nice.

Ahh yes, the era when far too many web developers gleefully gave the finger to anyone not running Windows. I'm so glad those days are over.
I'd suggest that comes down to the type of client/users you have... it's definitely not a common case. I'd also be willing to guess that most of those users also have a different browser installed. IE11 is pretty capable, but requires a lot of shims/shivs for modern code transpilation.
Small Feedback: It would be easier to skim if there was a list of all the providers up top and/or each of their names were significantly larger to denote separation of sections.

That's paying for a software update. I can understand why you're conflating the two, but I don't think it's correct to do so.

By making updates paid, Apple was charging users for work that had been done on the software side after the user made their initial purchase.
They're not that elite if they're gonna get ensnared in this one. If you're one of the elite you just donate a building, which is a completely legal way to get your kids into a school of your choice.
Yep. That is the price practiced by Pinata[1] after 1GB, and by Eternum[2] at the outset (no free tier).

Thanks for the suggestion. PopOS was not yet created when I purchased mine, it came with Ubuntu 16.04LTS. I used Ubuntu up until a couple months ago and decided to make the switch instead of upgrading to 18.04. Honestly I think my battery life has improved slightly but I haven't performed any benchmarking and my evaluation may be biased.
About 25% of France is obese. Europe is less obese than America but they're markedly more obese than they were a generation ago. Worlds off from hunter gatherer levels.
This is likely the only segment of the labor market outside of executives that are highly valued by Corporations. Naturally, they have to be coddled and not abused like most of the rest of the American workforce.
>because eventually you wind up with a situation where no one even has the option of buying their own house.

How did you make it do this conclusion? Renting is legal all over the place and that scenario has happened literally nowhere.
They can just release compromised drivers. There is no need to have a backdoor that can only be used through a non trivial exploit.
Cigarette manufacturers got sued into oblivion because they suppressed science and insisted their product was beneficial. Now that they acknowledge the dangers, nobody’s suing.
Its really time for Steam to respond. Eventually the Epic store will match the features of Steam, and open more broadly to upper-tier Indie games. What will be left on Steam? There has already been a notable lack of launches this year.

Steam needs to halve its 30% commission to 15% for all games, and increase the Steam Direct fee to $2,000 to increase average quality. Developers aren't just leaving because of the high commission, they are leaving because of the deluge of junk launching on the store daily.
God, hacker news, you are such fucking pussies.
That's fair enough, but the problem I have is the way this event is being portrayed in news and social media. The implication everywhere is that autopilot just unexpectedly swerved into a wall and there was nothing the driver could have done. It actually was expected, and any reasonable driver could have easily prevented it, because it had almost happened so many times in the past.
While I'm not quite sure about Tesla's responsibility, I do think CA DOT has its part in this tragic accident. Had the attenuator been replaced right after the previous accident, it could have saved the driver's life.

Usually I don't complain much about the gov, but just look at the construction mess they've created on 101, it's been like that for more than 4 years!
Tesla is playing with lives and should stop offering Autopilot.

Anything less than L4 autonomous driving is completely reckless. Calling it "Autopilot" when it's an L2 system should be criminal.

Yes, it's an extreme stance, but we're going to have a really hard time getting out true autonomous driving when companies are playing around with people's lives. You can say "well they know the risks" but it's not a closed situation. There are others on the road who will also die because of Autopilot mistakes.
I've been watching Man in the High Castle and one of the interesting aspects of the story is the contemplation of the pace of German technological innovation had they won the war.

There are other "not quickly replaceable" folks. Pilot and police unions, for example, still seem to have a fair amount of power.
From the position of affordability housing should not appreciate faster than the income profile of the population. Since median income increased minimally (inflation adjusted) in the past 50 years one would expect that "affordable" housing should not increase beyond the rate of inflation. As such, 5% is far greater appreciation rate than what is sustainable (2-3% being more in line with income).
Well let's roll part of that back because there is growing consensus that "if you can command 200 million and you can get it" you should be shamed.
Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/ Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A startup.
Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python. (but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.
Well, not for very long.

"...average individual credit card debt stands at $5,331 in 2019. Additionally, on a monthly basis, most Americans don't pay their credit card balance in full every month - 55% don't regularly pay in full."

That happened to me too. When I had more time, I was also much more willing to just buy it wherever.

Coming along with getting old is having more things to do instead of video games, like side projects, or board games, or hanging out in person. Personally, starting ~3 years ago much of my video game time started getting replaced with tabletop RPG's as a way to spend time with friends, even online ones. I hadn't ever played tabletop RPG's before that point.

So when several of these games came announced as "not on Steam", my reaction was also "it's ok I can wait."
If you pin to IPFS and then use a public http gateway like https://cloudflare-ipfs.com, which caches and distributes via their CDN, you'll have a good CDN alternative.

If you just use IPFS directly with a non-CDN'd, non-cached http gateway, the latency will probably be prohibitive for regular web stuff.
The reason they don't apparently is that this supply chain is their bread and butter, and they don't want to mess with it.

But - I feel this is causing them harm in the long run.

I feel that there is a mostly win-win were they to step in and just try to move against the bad shenanigans. I feel that even big companies like Dell, Sony etc. shoot themselves in the foot with this stupidity.

I'm mac 10x years now, strongly looking for change, but I'm wary of that kind of Windows stupidity.
Smart Prison in China Uses AI to Monitor Inmates
Yes, I just bought a Darter, (their new laptop model), after considering others, including Dell. I am very happy with the purchase. A decent case, fantastic keyboard, and PopOS on this machine is beautiful and trouble-free. Also, System76 provides excellent service and support.
Well, if you're driving to the terminal you're doing it wrong. Athletes and spectators won't be. Should be improved Metro access by then as well.
Yes it is:

There’s no magic in keto. People lose weight on keto because they wind up eating fewer calories, usually because they cut back on processed junk food as part of going keto.
The US still has a huge Navy compared to China, and far more allies in the region than China does. In theory, we just have to make more advanced weapon technology available to some our allies in the region. I'd support helping India modernize their military with equipment, training and joint exercises.
This is the issue with wireless updates on any vehicle.

What if tomorrow Autopilot is updated and it begins occurring 2 miles down the road?
You absolutely can. The GeForce Experience is not necessary for anything. You can download drivers and install them without having to login to anything. GeForce Experience is just for the convenience of automation and for the extra tools it brings with it...
> Anything less than L4 autonomous driving is completely reckless.

"L4 autonomous driving is completely wreck-less"?
The placement depends on the tractor model and make but it generally comes down to clutch on the left side, left and right brake pedal on the right side, foot accelerator either behind the brake pedals or below them. While working in the field you generally use a lever to control engine speed and as such mostly don't use the foot accelerator - other than to speed up for inclines etc.
I'm not surprised in the least, they have a Bugcrowd program and I've submitted atleast one P2 that took months to fix, and best of all - they don't pay bounties! what a joke if you ask me.
Payment gateways are the easy part. Stripe or Braintree are both good enough for the vast majority of startups. The hard part is a full billing solution for subscription type businesses. Turns out that’s harder than I thought. I’ve been checking out Chargebee for my business. Any suggestions?
That's funny. I'm trying to lurk more and say less. Inertia plays a big part.

It doesn't matter if everything has been said before. Literally my most viral posts have been repackaging what someone else said to me. I find that my original thoughts might be a little too deep or required too much prerequisite knowledge. But you can literally just grab something from a favorite book, rewrite the main points and people will love it.

We're in an era of information overload. People on social media want information, but they don't want to actively chase it, and expect it to come to them. You can always just summarize what you learned from someone else.
First, catch up on all your sleep. Then start going to bed at 9:30pm or so. You’ll probably start waking up naturally, fully rested, at 5-6am. (Note that this is also easiest to do at times of year when the sun rises at 5-6am.)

The natural and fully rested wake up will leave you quite alert.
I don’t understand how a company where 5% of the workforce is responsible for the product that drives 95% of the revenue is so seemingly vulnerable to employee pressure. I can’t imagine Bell Lab employees had all that much leverage against Ma Bell.
>Verizon had locked them down so that they all opened the Verizon ringtone store

I had a similar issue with a phone I bought around 2005. I wanted an unlocked device, and by EU law, a carrier can't refuse to sell you that. So just pop into any store, right?

The device was unlocked but carrier branded, so the useless menu locked in place front-and-center was doubly useless because none of the carrier services worked.

I made sure to never get any phone through any carrier after that, and now that Android phones are having the same problem I'm so glad I did. Mine have always been crap free.
I hear you loud and clear. I'm still not willing to risk it though. I had people calling me crazy when I started complaining-out-loud that Facebook was asking for my phone number "for account recovery reasons." Of course the word of Facebook is sacred!

Crazy like a fox [1][2].

That’s discussed in the article. One of McLaren’s drivers wasn’t comfortable using the hand clutch, while the other was. So three pedals in one car, four in the other.
Culture is not language, it is the people. Why do people defend language, which can be recorded, yet are silent on the significantly below-replacement fertility rates of some European populations, and the high levels of immigration that will eventually replace the native 'cultures'?
Right, but most people would buy via Steam, not the third party site with the keys, as per the link you posted; almost three-quarters of all game sales come directly from Steam. It's also not the case that all "Other" sales are commission-free for the devs; per the article:

> Those keys are often sold on other platforms that take their own cut, which sometimes amount to the same as Steam's (though platforms like Itch.io and Humble Bundle generally take much less).

And at the end of the day, devs are still at the mercy of Steam; you can't just sell your game through keys, because Steam controls key generation and doesn't let you do that. Again per the article:

> Steam also imposes some limits on key generation to prevent developers from essentially piggybacking off of Steam's services while solely selling games directly to consumers elsewhere.

That's why I think the anger re: the Epic Store misses some of the point. Epic's move into the store space almost incontrovertibly caused Steam to lower their take rate: two days after the Epic Store launch, Steam dropped their cut of revenue for games that sold over certain revenue thresholds. If Epic is successful, I imagine Steam's pricing will continue to become more competitive, which is better for devs and better for keeping smaller studios alive and independent.
not elite enough to escape scrutiny but elite enough to embark on these ventures

It's a balancing act, and this time it looks like many are going to fall.
I use Perforce at a financial trading firm.
Seriously you should. Companies fear State Attorneys General. I filed a complaint against one of the major wireless carriers with my State Attorney General office. Within days I had someone from the executive offices at head quarters calling me to resolve the issue. Companies know that State Attorneys General have teeth and resources to sue or fine companies found to be breaking laws or being abusive. I suppose it also helps to have a consumer caring (rather business caring) State Attorney General.
If nobody rented their house, wouldnt that reduce the supply of inexpensive housing? Now you are left with renting from mostly apartment buildings, and rents will probably go up due to the shorter supply.
I wouldn't be easily fooled. Companies try as hard as they can to turn engineering talent into a commodity, and they're relatively successful. The High-Tech Employee Antitrust suit is an example of this.

If you need to work for a living, employers will commodify your role to the best of their abilities.
Honestly leaks are such a common part of the current UK government he is probably just suprised that THIS TIME people are taking it seriously.
And they will continue to support linux as well? I find it terribly hard to believe that they will continue to actively develop their linux client to keep up with future DLC after moving the game to an ecosystem that doesn't support linux.
Why not have the brakes actuated with paddles? It'd be more complex and expensive but you wouldn't have to think about your second brake too hard and during turn in you can just squeeze on whatever side works best for maximum grip.
Tom Lehrer is brilliant.

We will all go together when we go (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIoBrob3bjI) is my favourite.
> Culture is not language, it is the people.

No, culture is not people, it is the shared behaviors and values of the people; use of a particular language is part of that. Immigration may threaten that (since the immigrants do bring their own culture), but immigrants often assimilate into the host culture, or at least adopt large portions of it.

Culture is not genetic heritage.
I wish System76 had better build quality. I've been looking for a Linux vendor to support. They seem to be an EVGA reseller with terrible customized cases. Even the new woodgrain case feels janky and cheap.
As we've heard from other Tesla drivers on HN in the past: Tesla continues to deliver OTA updates, which occasionally causes people to think that previous issues have been fixed, especially if they haven't popped up again recently. Either they continue to avoid using autopilot because they can't take the chance of finding out whether Tesla ever bothered fixing the problem, or they give it a test, think it's working fine now, and are lulled into security ... right until it doesn't work again.
Sourcegear vault... it sucks.
Branching is really expensive, it’s mainly GUI based...
That's an excerpt from a statement made by Tesla that is quoted in the article. Tesla was reprimanded by the NTSB for making statements like this during the investigation process.
That is awful behavior on the part of those YouTube devs. It speaks very poorly of them.
