The only politics is when you look at dozens of studies on NIH and say "it's all politics" and counter with your anecdotal experience. This is like denial of climate science. Stop doing it. I'm not part of any tribe but the science tribe. Eating meat is unambiguously worse for the environment and worse for your health than non-meat diets. The scientific theory and studies on the subject are clear.

Super cool project I just saw on Reddit! I work on https://github.com/pion/webrtc and was excited to see another project using the library.

If you are new to WebRTC this is super cool because you could easily share your desktop with no central server required. So could easily be used for LANs or building your own broadcast server over the internet.
Interesting mini-experiment. I feel like it's missing a step or two between 3 and 99. You might also do this with more than one app with similar activity and beginning sizes, and only measure the change from one increase.
We’ve tried everything already at great cost

Even if that's the case (I don't think it is), maybe we should try the things that cost a lot less? Maybe legalize it and tax the hell out of it? Cut out the illegal market by legalizing the sales and production channels? As a bonus, you will get much more accurate statistics about drug use, the effectiveness of countermeasures, and you get better quality control.

We also haven't tried the most harsh but cost-effective solution: flood the market with 100% lethal knockoffs, consequences be damned.

There are solutions to the drug problem, just like there are solutions to the alcohol problem. Going to war with a concept is just not one of those solutions.
Vitess is

> A database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL

> Vitess combines many important MySQL features with the scalability of a NoSQL database. Its built-in sharding features let you grow your database without adding sharding logic to your application.

What a quirky project. Is this for folks who started out with MySQL then find themselves needing to scale out in "NoSQL" style?

> Vitess automatically rewrites queries that hurt database performance.

That sounds scary.

Wouldn't the relationship between the meat industry and federal immigration authorities be the opposite of symbiotic? Federal immigration aims to curb the illegal immigration off of which (we reasonably alledge) the meat industry is profiting. Surely this is evident by the inclusion of "border coyotes" in the alleged symbiotic relationship?

Why let them live? Why wake myself up? Now your swapping systems are introducing a performance degradation.
I'll talk because that's the expectation, but I would absolutely pay an additional fee for silence.
Yeah, there is some weird subtext to the argument, that for some reason account access shouldn't count as secure verification?

I guess this all hinges on the idea that to implement GDPR all you need to do is set up an email adress and handle all requests manually, only to then discover that: actually, identity management via plaintext email is a bit tricky.
Your project is a bit similar to mine and I am very curious about how you use Blockstack.

I have been hosting a CouchDB instance myself on a VPN but considered moving to Firebase while prototyping since it seems easier to use. Considering Firebase since it offers offline-first support. However, only today I was made aware of Blockstack and I have seen it mentioned multiple places.

How do you like working with Blockstack and what made you choose it? Does your app work offline? Does it synchronize automatically between devices?

I also want to take data privacy very seriously, since I am dealing with personal and sensitive data (just like a person's journal is very sensitive to them).
Yes. A lot of Estonians use it daily to log in to their bank accounts, give digital signatures, deal with government business, check their health data etc. All you need is your ID card and your PIN codes.
>Same problem. There is still no Linux client, for example.

There was[0]. Maybe you can revive it, since it is a pain-point?

>It's a different API.

Having read the BankId specs, they're "different" APIs in only in how the session is initiated. You're still challenged to enter the PIN for the certificate, which prompts the response to the authentication request. In other words, BankId and Mobile Bank Id are presenting the same exact set of data back to the session initiator.

>Most services specifically require Mobile BankID these days. Desktop (regular) BankID won't work there.

I have, as of yet, to run into anything that would not take BankId or Mobile Bank Id.

Interesting project! I've thought about this one before, mostly due to Jimmy Neutron.

What arm are you using? Also what depth sensor?

A few suggestions:

It would appear that you're taking a pretty common approach to robot manipulation, sense, plan, "close your eyes" and then act. This works for stationary objects when you have high accuracy control and high accuracy sensing. Unless you're envisioning strapping people's heads down, your target is going to move. This will necessitate a closed-loop approach.

A closed-loop approach here would benefit from force control at the end effector. ATI[1] is a good source for 6-axis load cells and they've recently come out with smaller form factor load cells.

A second useful sensor would be a Time-of-Flight depth sensor. The old PMD Camboard Nano used to get up to 90 FPS and a close effective range (if I recall correctly ~3-4"). The time of flight sensors can be a bit noisy, but I've written up some of the smoothing approaches I've taken [2].

Good luck!

The modern American way is to announce it on a website, promise to make a movie, and do everything with crowd-founding and hire a bunch of college kids for nothing, plus two Mexicans. Actual knowledge of the business not required. See the current movie "The biggest little farm". https://www.sundance.org/projects/the-biggest-little-farm

The previous famous way was "Farmer John" near Chicago, which was similar, but more of a collective.

I haven't been on Facebook much lately, and I know that the default settings are not friendly to privacy, but I thought there was an option that was not too hard to find that made everything that involved you go through your own review before it was visible to other people, including photo tags.

Totally agree, maximente. If you go in to get a cut for the experience, you're not our target customer (which is totally OK). SportsClips has centered this business around creating a fun experience (drink a beer, watch the game, get a cut).

Our prime demographic are working professional men who care about convenience, speed, and cost. Think standard management consultant who's pressed for time, needs to look good for client meetings, and would pay for a quick touch up.
> it also makes companies think twice whether it's really necessary and worth it

The simple fact that someone has an account at a service can be private information. For anything requiring even a modicum of persistence, keeping these data is tough to avoid.

I think most of HN agrees GDPR’s goals are good. It was just sloppily drafted, passed and implemented.

> (6) Inquiries. A public accommodation shall not ask about the nature or extent of a person's disability, but may make two inquiries to determine whether an animal qualifies as a service animal. A public accommodation may ask if the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform. A public accommodation shall not require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal. Generally, a public accommodation may not make these inquiries about a service animal when it is readily apparent that an animal is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability (e.g., the dog is observed guiding an individual who is blind or has low vision, pulling a person's wheelchair, or providing assistance with stability or balance to an individual with an observable mobility disability).

The two leases I've had were 12k miles/year (or 36k for the term of the lease). I work from home now but I used used to live 10 miles away from my job, and still turned in my vehicle at the end of my first lease with like 10k miles to spare.
It is very waterfall-y as someone I know said in a talk and therefore you probably need to be a little careful what "rules" you take away from it. That said, the "mythical man month" discussion itself as well as the idea of a 9x difference in effort between a program and a programming system product are worth the price of admission.

The latter arguably runs somewhat counter to a lot of MVP, etc. approaches but recognizing the difference is still useful.

I think this is part of the reason why GDPR needs an exemption for businesses that are too small. This kind of a flaw will be abused more and more and they'll never be able to close this gap with small and medium businesses.
Hah, I've made this before and didn't know what it was called! I had it at a local Thai restaurant under the name "Kua tender beef", and decided to try to replicate it at home. It's so delicious! I wouldn't call it "ridiculously involved" (I've made phõ from scratch), but yeah, it's a bit labor intensive.
The better question is when you deploy k8s in a production how do you ensure none of the risks are being exploited.

Given todays landscape of hardware and software exploits adding a complex orchestration layer with identified issues seems like less than prudent behavior.

I currently work on kubernetes in production and am migrating large clients into these systems. I see the distinct lack of knowledge around securing systems and more so when adding kubernetes.
I know this is against the general sentiment but I don't care much what these corporations know about me; we all know we're just ad clickers and numbers in their big data machines. I'm more afraid of who can see the data that's peronally about me, whether it be due to mishap (data brach) or lack of control (see: IG, Facebook tagging). Should any of that get out, it would be devastating if it were put up on shady websites that allow you to look up the data of breached inviduals via only a name or username.
Can't you just not sign in to social media sites on your mobile phone? If you don't want to delete social media accounts, maybe change your passwords to something you can't easily remember, and only login on a particular computer at home or something.

Honestly, I didn't even need to go that far. Just turning off notifications for Facebook was enough for me to completely stop using it.
But for the actual goal you don't have to reserve it as empty, you just have to prioritize it.
That's only feasible if we don't allow predatory sales of the drugs. Non-prohibition works in places where they instead address the motivators for drug use. I don't think it would work if we let companies have big marketing budgets pushing the drugs. Legalize possession, but not marketing.

Are clams not considered meat? Also any good New England Clam Chowder has bacon in it.
This is nothing new. People could make "subject access requests" before the GDPR, and you could charge up to £10 (in the UK) to reply.

It's perfectly lawful to refuse to disclose anything until you have received reasonable evidence of the person's identity and payment (I don't know if you can still charge under the GDPR -- Edit: Apparently you may not charge for the first copy, but you may for further copies).

Considering the potential risks (including bad PR) and penalties it is better to refuse to disclose data because you have doubts rather than to disclose easily.

Curriculum varies by the bootcamp. The best ones design and iterate their curriculums based on feedback from the local job market, as they know they won't be in business long if they're not putting forward qualified candidates.

Also, a willingness to mentor is important when hiring any entry level developer. Bootcampers can require different mentoring, but in my experience so far they're not wholly worse off than a CS grad with no life experience to lean on. Focus on the fit of the person, first.

To be fair, I am biased - I completed a bootcamp 3 years ago after 15 years in hardware/networking. Bootcamp tought me the fundmentals of OOO using the .NET/C# stack. Focus on JS technology was much lighter. I joined a backend ETL & Data API team with high coding standards and high empathy for mentoring. I now pass that training and mentality onto others - mostly CS grads.
Manufacturing PMI probably loses its leading indicator status once automation becomes more sophisticated. Many of the sub components of manufacturing PMI (new orders, inventories, etc) completely vanish in importance at that point. Considering there is virtually no inflation anywhere in the world at the moment, there's no incentive for businesses to really invest in this stuff at the scale required to really eliminate the human in the loop.

Powell mentioned the Phillips curve because it's been borderline irrelevant for a while now due to unorthodox global central bank policies.
For what it's worth Toyota leases come with 2 years of maintenance included, and unless you have major trouble, that last year might be an oil change or two costing ~$100 at the dealership (less if you go elsewhere). Admittedly, insurance can be pricy depending on where you are. Registration/tag fees can vary quite a bit depending on what state you're in.

> ... mass immigration from poverty stricken areas, as people from there can (and do) enter the US and live in dirt poor areas

it's also true that many people from poverty stricken areas in other countries live in moderate to expensive areas in LA County, like LA's West Side, Downtown, and Koreatown, as well as neighboring cities including Santa Monica, Burbank, West Hollywood, Torrance, etc. again, to do this, multiple inviduals or families simply pool resources and rent an apartment or house and share that space.

given that about 9% of Beverly Hills's population falls below the poverty line, it's a safe bet that this high density renting strategy is also employed within that city.
Congrats for the technical challenge!

Fortunately, getting a haircut is not so expensive everywhere. To be honest with you what you try to accomplish is a repeated topic of discussion in my barber shop and for the moment they seem happy not to see this kind of tech working.

Where I live people go the barber shop to feel somebody is taking care of them and have a nice chat in addition to having a nice haircut.

I think it's a business that tries to overcome the loneliness but I think you can compete with this if Buzz Robotics brings a kind of human touch, maybe you could make people appreciate robots after all.
Hacker news has 173 comments right now and my rough estimate is %20 are anti-China without contributing anything new to the conversation.

The original article on Tech Crunch has 5 comments and 80% of them are prejudiced against China with some slipping into racist territory.

So I would say that Hackernews lifts significantly out of the general cesspool that is internet comments.
If you care about convenience, speed, and cost, and have a hairstyle that is clipper friendly, buy a clipper (~$75) and a set of clipper combs (~$10) and cut your own hair at home in 5 minutes or so anytime you want.

We had a Hadoop cluster that ran noswap, it killed our ability to use all the ram and when it did exhaust ram, which was all the time, it would often KP the whole machine. No swap is not the fix. I love the idea of protecting core components, maybe even give them a core or two and dedicated ram.
The question isn't about mathematical rigor. It's about utility and distraction.

In much of the world, phone numbers work even if you add extra numbers that aren't needed. So I could give you my phone number plus 10 extra digits that change nothing. The end result would be the same utility to you (you can contact me) but with an increased cost in recording, memorizing, chance of error.

Using lat/lon to an unnecessary level of detail is the same thing. More digits are more chances to make mistakes, more cognitive load.
