Shout out to Lyft for Envoy. I haven't used it all that much, but it's been very set and forget. The other "API gateways" like Linkerd and Kong are either a bunch of hacky Lua scripts (Kong) or use a lot of ram for the number of instances you'll probably want (Linkerd)

Even GOOG seems to not be immune to this one. They're cited in recent headlines regarding a promotion of RCS but IRL they're abandoning it.
I think its true in the sense that if enough people are paying attention, all dishonestly and lies will be unraveled. I remember back when simcity 2013 came out EA said that always online was required because the game does a lot of processing on the servers that would be too much for your computer but shortly after someone patched out the code that checks for internet access and discovered that everything in the game except multiplayer still works.

But that's the point. Monzo is the best bank in the world and yet it's only available in the UK. As soon as you're trying to cross a border it becomes challenging. A cryptocurrency can be a very useful solution here: it skips decenies of progress to set up an interoperable network for banks and custodians to use (and users as well if they want to).
My roommate in 1990 was a journalist and he had one of these.

Your Apple will still turn on if you create a Franken-book (as long as you can get drivers).

They won’t sell you spare parts, but if you find some, you’re ok. This does prop up resale values to some degree (for parts donors).

This is precisely what I use it for, and precisely why I like answering it. I will talk in detail about the bits I know, smell bullshit (and look up answers) in the bits I don't, and it gives me an answer to candidates depth in all of them. Backend devs will talk about search and set theory algorithms. SREs will talk protocols. Networking guys will talk layer3-7. Everyone has their own style, and it's certainly the most informative in determining where to prove next.

A good candidate had breadth and depth of knowledge. This one question shows breadth and tells you where to find depth. It doesn't work as well for pure frontend people, but only barely - I almost expect frontend people to understand interrupts and syscalls on that end.
> whereas Libra is a Plutocracy (you need to be wealthy to be one of the few)

Agreed. The same way governments require a large amount of capital to be a bank to ensure depositors of liquidity. You need to have capital to back the Libra tokens, otherwise it can get pretty scary, just like USD Tether shenanigans.

> or even possibly a Kleptocracy depending on how they actually run it and what their true motives are.

Banks, Central Banks, Governments, etc. whatever. Their motives are exactly "secret" when it comes to managing currencies. They all gear towards enriching their currency and making it more valuable. So yeah for this "oligarchy", I'd bet it's the same, Kleptocracy it is.
It sound like they're using land that Google already owns for this: "First, over the next 10 years, we’ll repurpose at least $750 million of Google’s land, most of which is currently zoned for office or commercial space, as residential housing. This will enable us to support the development of at least 15,000 new homes at all income levels in the Bay Area, including housing options for middle and low-income families. (By way of comparison, 3,000 total homes were built in the South Bay in 2018)."

I don't understand the part about 1 dollar donations. Surely that can't be enough money to do much of anything given how rare I imagine it is for people to create an account.

The hardcore gamers in E3s audience can and will smell BS. The problem is generally all developers have to go off of is the vertical slice, generally created right during E3 and before a lot of the games systems are in place. If you go and tell the whole truth about a game in the development stage, it’s like showing a trailer for a movie without a lot of the VFX actually completed, or even worse. The business wants to know how much hype they can build around a game, and how much money to spend on marketing. And the big titles tend to treat their audience as idiots, because the marketing department tends to treat them as such. There’s a better way, but it goes against how so many companies especially big publishers do things.
It would be great to have native support in CSS for aligning text and block elements to a baseline grid (without having to fudge it with margins and padding.) I think the latest draft spec for this is CSS Line Grid[1], and it's severely underrated. With people these days doing most of their reading on the web, it's crazy that the web doesn't support what would be a basic layout mode in any desktop publisher.

> The individuals do not have to be smart here, there just has to be one person who will bother.

I don't think it works like that, most social media are a game of numbers, if one smart person was enough, you wouldn't have nonsenses like flat-earth and similar becoming "popular topics".
In all honesty I don't know how anyone can make 60$ purchases on games without seeing what it looks like. I can't comprehend it at all. Preordering was never even a question for me even before all of the recent issues with it. I just cant understand the mindset for anything other than cult-like franchises.

I can only imagine, with contempt, the cube jockey who figured out that distributing game demos was bad for their bottom line.

Yes. I was recommended Page's

I use pandoc+xelatex to convert GitHub style markdown to pdf [1] I've also noted down other options in the last section of the blog post, which I think should get you started.

The reasons you list are the bank complying with the law. Civil judgements and asset forfeiture are legal matters where the court has decided that your assets are declared forfeit in order to make reparation for some legal matter. Presenting this as proof of your money's insecurity in a traditional banking institution is incredibly disingenuous. The fact that your bank complies with the laws of your country is just more proof of why traditional financial institutions would be more trustworthy than a consortium of tech giants.
But... How are we supposed to lie to people, if we can't lie?
No, awareness doesn't work. We need to stop pretending that combating climate change on an individual level is meaningful. It's a feelgood measure that will never move the needle. We must institute society-wide changes that systemically remove greenhouse gas creating activities from our lives whether we're aware of them or not.
If you convert a future date-time to UTC using the current timezone database you've already lost. If the timezone database changes anytime from that point forward, you cannot correctly convert that UTC date back to local time.

You have no way of knowing, just looking at a UTC date, under what conditions it was converted from local time.

By converting a future date to UTC, you're making the assumption that the timezone information you have for that future date won't change from now until that date passes.

> Thankfully, DST policy changes are comparatively rare.

"Russia switched to permanent DST from 2011 to 2014, but the move proved unpopular...so the country switched permanently back to standard time in 2014... Florida legislature and Washington State Legislature passed bills to enact permanent DST, pending US Congressional approval, and California, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island have introduced proposals or commissions to that effect...
Under an EU directive, from 2021 twice-yearly adjustment of clocks will cease. Member states will have the option of observing either standard time or summer time all year round."

Sounds like a call to build a new town out among the hills somewhere.
The corresponding drawback of trying to reap the business benefits preorder and hype-wise, of an overly ambitious or misleading (intentionally or otherwise) vertical slide demo or trailer is the backlash and loss of consumer trust when you under-deliver or cut back.

It can often be really hard to make a demo or trailer that isn't a mess without polishing it as much as possible. Development is messy. But sometimes you really can say "that's a lie" or "no, it [game feature] won't do that" and those ones beleaguer the benefit of the doubt.

It's a tough problem.
Tell HN: Go 1.13 by default downloads modules from Google services

Light Year has a technical meaning, but it is so large that I can't relate to it at all. So I tried to figure out a different unit of measure, and I came up with what I call an "Earth Escape Year" or EEY.

From Earth, the escape velocity for our solar system is 42.1 km/s. EEY is the distance traveled for 1 year at that escape velocity. It is the maximum amount of time it would take to reach an interstellar object directly launching from Earth -- any slower and you can't get there at all. 1 LY = 7,121 Escape Years. The upper bound time to reach these planets is about 85k EEY.

I’m asking why should it be considered good for people in a workplace to express (while at work) properties of a community that exists outside of the workplace? Why should cultures (of any kind) be actively celebrated at work for example?

Workplaces are comprised of people who possess cultural attributes. Why is it common to believe this matters in some way that necessitates acknowledgement, discussion or celebration of those attributes while specifically being in the workplace?

An example from my own life is parenthood. I’m a parent, yet I feel a strong moral and ethical duty to keep my parenthood culture out of my professional workplace. None of my coworkers owe me any sort of acknowledgement of my identity as a parent. In fact, apart from non-work conversations in which others opt in to participating, my coworkers ostensibly should not even know if I am a parent or not — it is simply not relevant and needs no accounting.

I don’t see why this wouldn’t apply to any type of cultural attribute.
Ask HN: Is there a an open-source tool for unsupervised feature learning?
I'm working in Disentangling Representations, and I was wondering if there was a sort of drop in or self deployable tool that has some automated system for finding the best representations in some unstructured data?
The idea is that I could then feed these representations to some other learning pipeline.

If it doesn't exist, should we try building it?
In the '90s I worked in a warehouse where some of the guys had bought old model 100s for cheap and had programmed an inventory system. The 100 was the perfect size to sit on the console of the forklift and you would record where you were placing or retrieving pallets of inventory. At the end of the day you could sync the updates from one machine to the next over serial ports. For being so computationally limited they are surprisingly capable machines.

The extra long battery life made this application possible.

In spite of being warehouse workers they were a very smart bunch. There were several other things they had automated as well. I was young at the time and was only interested in video game, so never picked up programming until later.

Thank you for sharing your insights. Can you share more details about what issues you with epub/mobi for generating technical books? Do you have any experience with machine learning and math content? If generating epub/mobi for technical books is a problem I am guessing it would be even more of a problem to generate good looking epub/mobi with math content.
In theory, the recourse is that the people can exert power over the banks by electing different politicians. Obviously, sometimes that doesn't work as well as we'd like, but there's not even such a possibility of recourse when Facebook fucks you over.

Are robberies less common in the suburbs?

Are schools in the suburbs better than those in the city?

Why is it easier to affect government in suburbs?

I'm not sure if you're discussing Baltimore in particular or if you are making these points generally. I'm not sure on robberies, but I live in Sydney and I don't think there is a big gap between school quality and government participation in suburbs vs cities.

I had the same thought but then had a better thought. What type of optimizations would you need in Rust? Are they similar or completely different?

As an interesting stat about this area, the bear population in Pisgah has rebounded sharply in the past few years. I have run into bears multiple times on this exact section, and bear cans are now required for camping north of the BRP in the park.

Not likely. Even traveling to a planet as "nearby" as Neptune by conventional means would take 12 years. Hardly within shooting range, and who knows whether our civilization will survive long enough for us to make it to even the edge of our solar system.

And the OP was referring to a nearby star system, within "sublight year" range. Even < 1 light year could mean very, very far away.
I don’t understand why this detail would be relevant to my original question. Can you say more?
My manager gathered our team in a conference room to listen to the audio book of "Who moved my cheese". Which, if you're unfamiliar, is a lame allegory about how you shouldn't complain if you are fired or otherwise screwed over.

The oddest part is that the layoffs everyone expected never materialized.
That is the point. It's easy to land and get off a tiny moon and there is material to make a habitat out of rather than sending it all from Earth.
You absolutely can reduce the demand for anything by making it more costly. Prostitution is far more prevalent where it less costly in dollars and punishment (e.g. Canada vs USA) You can’t just assert a falsehood as axiomatic.

Lisp? Common lisp's ffi faculties are good, from all I've heard.
You're still extrapolating from a single life-creation event. Until we find a second planet that evolved life entirely separately from Earth, we have exactly zero meaningful information about the genesis of life. Without knowing what percentage of life is roughly similar to life on Earth, we have exactly zero meaningful information about how valid Earth-centric extrapolations are.
That's what I thought until I tried to go remote.

There isn't a huge shortage. If there was they would take on people with proven skill in related languages and train. There is a shortage with developers with 3-5 years experiencd having the exact stack the company is looking for.

Pakistan is nowhere near strong enough to defeat India in a conventional war. India would almost certainly lose a conventional war with China. All 3 nations have nukes. Doing anything more than maintaining that equilibrium is a waste of resources.

There's a very large area of land directly south of Redwood City with an extremely low housing density, that could be torn down (with some controversy, no doubt) to make way for the new Google housing.

Early on in a recently IPO'd security company, HR thought it would be great to allow anyone in the company to give an award to anyone else. It was points worth about $50. Eventually, word got out that nobody was paying attention to the awards going out, and it was an automated system, so the points would be applied automatically.

You can imagine what happened. My favorite was two folks that were related to each other awarded the "Nepotism Award" to each other.
Right, but what can easily happen is you show gameplay footage at E3 with good intentions, then the game changes.

Maybe, things change because the mechanics proved to hard to learn.

Maybe, things change because to fit X number of characters on screen in level Y, you had to downgrade the main character visuals.

Either way... Is that a lie?

In the eyes of most developers no, it's just part of development.

In the eyes of consumers...yes?

The thing I see is that he wasn't really doing anything strange. Building structures and digging tunnels that humanity has been doing for a very long time. There exists laws, regulations and engineering knowledge developed over thousands of years to ensure that these activities are safe.

In order for this to happen he had ignore this body of safe practice knowledge that has been built up. Safety regulations are written in blood and to ensure that more blood isn't spilt unsafe practices that result in death have to be punished.
