The idea that it’s a guinea pig test of a submarine directed anti-FLIR system is the only plausible explanation to me.

But again Lazar has been a crank for decades (I think the first reference to an alien at Area 51 named Elvis is from him, later popularized in Perfect Dark), so even that theory is a bit out there.
Or it is a cover up that has been going on pretty successfully for decades because the truth seems to sensational for some people to believe.

That “I’m Already Paying for It” Feeling
The next time that Apple comes out with a new model of their Apple TV 4K (likely next month), I plan on buying one and completely disconnecting my smart TV from the internet.

My TV's UI is incredibly laggy and Vizio forces upon me a barely tolerable UI with the first two rows on the main page consisting of unhideable suggestions on what I should watch---even content that I cannot watch since I'm not subscribed to every service.
Yeah that guy, he doesn't know jack squat.
> IDK, the last "progressive" action on insurance more than doubled my rates...

Sounds like you might've had one of the useless plans cited in the article. Sure, they've got low rates - they don't cover anything when you actually need it.
> at least for months I'm traveling.

note I'm pretty sure it's calls from USA to other countries, and that the rates calling from outside USA to USA and other countries is the same rate as the Flexible plan.
According to Wikipedia, Gresham’s Law was noticed since the 5th Century BC. The metal value of coins mattered for everyone, partly because reducing the purity of coins would result in the mint being able to effect an increase in the money supply.
so those definitely weren't missles, no afterburners, no wake.
It depends on the problem. Let's take the 2048-RSA integer factorization problem.

Back of the envelope calculation:

The best classical algorithm takes 10^34 steps. The fastest computer on earth _Summit supercomputer_ runs at 200 petaflops (2.5M cores, ~10^6x faster than your desktop computer)

Actual quantum computers perform at 1 million operations/s per qubit

for 2048-RSA, Shor's algorithm needs 4096 non-noisy qubits (we are far from that) and run in 10^7 steps

So for this particular problem:

Best classical computer (as of today): 1 billion years

An (hypothetical) quantum computer: ~10 seconds

Yeah, a trillion times faster...

Small anecdote: I always did worse in college with professors or courses that were looked at as “easy” because I was not motivated to put in effort. Courses that were looked at as hard or professors that were rated as tough tended to make me “respect the class” and subsequently do better and learn more.

That literally screams "sensor bug". Did no one there ever see how light behaves once you start playing with mirrors? I also wonder how much software is processing is done on raw data in real-time, because some of what I read could be explained by algorithms hitting a corner case.

I mean, what's more likely? A magic propulsion system ignoring known physics, or some component in the complex sensory system of the plane falling into oscillation?
> Come now. Far worse things are said about women all over the web all the time.

You can't possibly be ignorant enough to think that the existence of blatant (albeit throwaway) misogyny like the example here would be tolerated on HN? There'd be rightful complaints right at the top of the thread and dissenters would be downvoted to hell. To be clear, I'd very much be joining in on the downvoting: a throwaway joke about women being bad at something isn't within the bounds of what I consider acceptable in eg learning materials.

Believe it or not, there are people out there who were raised with a shred of moral consistency, and who have actual moral beliefs (like being against sexism) instead of whatever grotesque facsimile of a conscience you've convinced yourself is your moral center. "But there are people out there who do worse!" isn't an ethical argument, it's a toddler's excuse for acting out.
Yeah the whole world is going to be very upset someday about the coverup, hence the continued cover up.
The US system really needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. Stories like this simply shouldn’t happen. There is almost no way as a patient to ensure your coverage is sufficient besides having a lot of money in case. It’s insane and hard to understand how anyone can defend this.

With the lack of information the patient has nobody should talk about free markets. A functioning market requires that all participants have information available for making a decision.
I had so many clients and people in my company ask me about this. The wording was horrible. It would have been better to identify things properly, or at the least, call it out clearer.
It seems like there is a historical pattern where people observe something they can't explain and then note that "it must mean X" maybe that is advances in something, or it's just magic, or aliens or whatever.... rather than "We just don't know enough to explain what we think we observed".

And often later we find explanations that fit within the confines of things we understand just fine.

I invested time in a similar way with Python and it has definitely been the most lucrative skill investment for me so far.

I can think of a few specific projects in my early career where I wrote things in Python while other teams in my company were trying to write similar things in C++.

The Python implementations (which used Cython for a few tiny performance critical sections) ended up running much, much faster than the C++ projects (which were written by very veteran C++ engineers at the time). More than that, they were easier to test, easier to modify, and easier to teach to random new programmers joining the team. We benefited from much more user-friendly third party tools and specialized domain tools and could easily wrap any of the in-house & domain tools only accessible in C/C++.
Not that huge of a headline due to them already having a form of unlimited. This saves some pennies if you go over that cap consistently.

However, I commend the Fi team for working out the details for international travelers. I used it for a 20+ country, Asia/Europe trip with 0 complaints. China/Russia/Thailand/etc....always just worked! Very amazing, and probably saved me hundreds from avoiding those scammy airport SIM cards everywhere.

I would say "love" might not be accurate word. A lot of things CPP did are quite controversial and it's well known to most educated people. However alternatives are much worse which is not very well known outside of Chinese speaking community. In addtion, western media constantly brain wash their wesern audiance by distorting news coverage so that quite some Westerners believe CPP defenders are the brain washed groups added fuel to nationalist sentiment by insulting those CPP defenders.

So to consider lot of mainland Chinese defending CPP as "they love CPP" is a simplified interpretation. Does'nt reflect reality
It kind of feels wrong when dynamically typed languages add "hinting". It means they admit that strongly typed is the way to go. Edit: typo statically typed
Yes, they can. California does this today. California has a border patrol that will throw away any contraband you attempt to smuggle in to the state of California. Border stations exist between Mexico and California, Nevada and California, Arizona and California, and Oregon and California. For example, if California discovers you have a ferret, they will fine you or put you in jail. If you attempt to bring a ferret into California via the interstate highway, and go through a california border station, they will likely confiscate and euthanize the ferret. This is not just for ferrets but all sorts of pests, plants, etc. California keeps a tight border. Last time I crossed the border from Oregon, we were stopped, and questioned, and our car inspected with a mirror underneath, at the border station.

The Constitution guarantees that you -- an American citizen or legal immigrant or tourist -- can enter and leave the state at will -- not your stuff.

I'm pretty skeptical of Lazar. See this article for an investigative counterpoint of many of his claims:

https://www.otherhand.org/home-page/area-51-and-other-strang...

> A last item for your consideration to assess Lazar’s veracity is his academic background. He claims Masters degrees from BOTH Caltech and MIT in subjects they don’t offer and during time periods he couldn’t have physically been at either campus. In response to questions at the “Ultimate UFO Seminar” in Rachael, NV in May of 1993, Lazar was so kind as to offer up the names of two of his instructors at Caltech and MIT, a “Dr. Duxler” as well as “Hohsfield”. He even spelled them. Stan Friedman told me he went searching for Duxler and no such person ever taught at Caltech or MIT. However he did find a William Duxler who taught Math and Physics at the previously mentioned Pierce College and confirmed to Friedman that Lazar had taken at least one of his courses in the 1970s.

> As for finding Hohsfield, Friedman rolled snake eyes, beyond confirming no one by that name ever taught at Caltech or MIT. However did you know that in this amazing 21st Century you can buy reprints of all sorts of old high school yearbooks? Like, for example, the 1976 yearbook for W. Tresper Clarke High School? And if one were to do so, one would find that there was a Technical and Vocational teacher there by the name of Frederick Hohsfield. Looks like he was teaching electronics. Interesting, no?

Falsely claiming academic degrees is all by itself extremely damaging to his credibility. According to Wikipedia:

> Lazar claims that his academic records were erased in an effort by authorities to discredit him

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar#Education_and_qualif...

Even if his academic records were erased, it should be easy to identify professors who had him in their class, or classmates who attended with him. If Lazar was willing to prove his claims, he could provide the name of a classmate or professor who did verifiably attend either institution, and who is willing to name Lazar as a student. Applying Occam's Razor to the situation is not favorable to Lazar.

Do people who complain that Python doesn't have typing are effectively arguing against the very existence of every scripting language and Lisp in the world?
I'm a proponent of universal healthcare, but pointing to "insurance industry greed" is a dishonest narrative. Health insurers are having a banner year, and that means their profit margins are approaching 6%. (By contrast, Facebook is regularly over 40%.) For the year ending Q3 2018, health insurer profits amounted to $25 billion, industry wide, which is about the same as Google alone makes in a year.

If running a business that makes 6% profit margins is "greedy" then the word literally means nothing. The only reason health insurer profits are even part of the discussion is because Democrats reflexively lean to anti-corporatism to explain any societal problem. But it's like republicans blaming everything on the decline of two-parent households. It's rah-rah narrative that has no basis in reality.

I had a plan that covered inpatient care 100% after my deductible. Tests, doctor visits, etc., weren't covered. My HSA and other savings were fine for that. Along came thr ACA and killed it. My premiums skyrocketed and my money went into premiums instead of savings or investment.
Practical voice comms do not require very high fidelity or resolution, so there is little reason to spend resources increasing the quality beyond the threshold of intelligibility. It works and works well. What point would an upgrade serve? They aren’t singing through it.
It took me a few months to get decent results with a low false positive rate. We haven’t had the tooling in place long enough to give hard stats but our aim is to have a false positive rate of less than 25%. Another great thing that these tools provide (if the results are valid) is that they let more junior members of the team/developers not as familiar with security issues to be able to understand the vulnerabilities found as they display a nice call flow graph/diagram that’s shows source to sink.
My criticism is the vast overvaluing of information value, and the complete failure to accurately assess the risk of that information becoming public.
If Democrats in California can't muster the votes to outlaw something as uniformly hated as balance billing while they have the Governor's office and a supermajority in both houses, I'm afraid I don't have much faith in their ability to fix any of this at the federal level.

Nothing your saying makes sense, multiple pilots are not going to see the same reflection, not to mention these objects were tracked by spaced based radar, the radar on the ships, the radars on the fighter jets, sonar, and via infrared and high def video! The video that has been available to the public is a grainy copy of the original as many of the Navy witness have stated.
It dealt with the preexisting condition loophole which was the largest issue with private insurance.
>For example: AWS is among the most bare-bones. EKS is just a managed control plane; coming from GKE, you might click "create an cluster" then be very confused how there are no options for, say, instance size, or how many... because you have to do that all yourself. There are tools like eksctl or Rancher which can help with this, but ultimately, you're managing those instances. You're doing capacity planning (you think kube would be a great pick to integrate with spot fleets because of its ability to schedule and move workloads to a new instance when one goes down? have fun setting it up, hope you like ops work.). You're doing auto-scaling (and that ASG? its not going to know about your pod resource requests, so you either need some very smart manual coordination between the two, or you need to set up cluster-autoscaler). You're setting up cluster metrics (definitely need metrics-server. not heapster, that was last year, metrics-server is this year. but how to visualize? do i host grafana in the cluster? then i need to worry about authn. cloudwatch really isn't made for these kinds of things... maybe I'll just give datadog a few thousand bucks.) Crap, 1.16 is out already? They only support 9 months of releases with security updates?! I feel like I just upgraded my nodes! Oh well, time to lose a day replicating this update across all of my environments.

Haha - I had to chuckle on this. It really is this bad on EKS. My god, upgrades are a total joke.

As bad as it is you have to believe that AWS seems to want to ignore Kubernetes and lock you in with ECS.

They need to get EKS as easy to manage as GKE and they need to provide free control plane/masters like all the other managed k8s services. Hopefully we see something at Re:invent this year... at this point there is no reason to use EKS unless you are trapped into AWS. Which unfortunately is what AWS is counting on :(

Did you even read my post? First of all I said tens of thousands not hundreds. There’s definitely people who go into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to attend school but that’s pretty rare.

Second I don’t know where you’re getting tuition plus room and board for 30K unless you had some sort of scholarship (which, not to drag race into it, seems to be increasingly difficult to get if you’re a white male).

Third I made it a point not to disparage you, I specifically said that I think it’s great if you feel like you got a lot of value out of your college experience. I don’t think anybody should disparage anybody, that’s the point. I’m not “anti-intellectual” because I made the financial decision to opt out of college.
I think i work in a similar manner to the gp.. It's transparent to the org... It's not I'll head down this path or investigate this _or_ get my work done.. It's an _and_ situation.

Lots of people like to think about alien vessels, UFOs, in a positive light. But very few though about how would world powers would actually react to dangerous aliens, like something that could just drill into your advanced air defenses without leaving any trace all available sensors.

One possible outcome could be just to agree to keep their presence under plausible deniability, just till something lands somewhere infront thousands of witnesses (considering our simulated scenario, based in the current situation, "very public" actions are not the alien's playbook).

The other obvious outcome should be to precisely coordinate military presence in the planet, trying to cover any territory with some kind of military response - the ASAP one+highly guarded airspace close to key infrastructure/cities in the planet - in case of detections / ingress of UFOs.

Kind of obvious, you would need to agree with ALL the players, Russian Fed, China, India, and a dozen more. The nuclear players with missiles capable of targetting stuff in low orbits should be the premium resources,

Space related industry should be developed at accelerated pace, and attempts to reach close things in the solar system would be at some point almost a monthly thing.

There are a tons of ones, many which you won't find in any scifi book, because the scenario where you just watch UFOs (IF you can detect them), trying to do something on the planet without knowing WTF is going on for decades is not a compelling base for anything entertaining
Scripting languages are for writing scripts. Production code is much better served by typed languages.

> Kubernetes is meant for enterprises

Actually it's meant for virtually no one, because very few people have the problems it solves. Like AutoScaling Groups, Serverless, and Cloud its self, it's a tool that solves a pain point in a specific domain. About 0.001% of the business world have that problem.

> We're happy with the move and the pressure relief is tremendous.

I'll bet it was. I've convinced businesses to go in the completely opposite direction to K8s. I've told them to developed a monolith before they start optimising into microservices. The startups that listened to me are still around and in round C. The others closed up shop ages ago (minus one of them) because they never got to market in time.

K8s is a tool. Docker is a tool. Cloud is a tool. Businesses have to utilise tools as efficiently as possible to get their solutions out the door if they're to survive. Using K8s from the ground up is a death sentence.
I noticed this trend too.

Python has immortalised itself in ML because it's extremely important to be easy and clear if you want to write already complicated data science, and it has the data structures that other languages just can't compete with.

Plus it's very close to pseudocode, and a lot of ML is spoken in algorithms.
What one fact checker says (or is rumored to have said) does not invalidate fact checking by everyone everywhere. In fact it does not even alter whether any given statement is true or false.

But incredibly there are those who very comfortably dismiss things they acknowledge as true solely because they dislike the politics of the source. That overlooking falsehoods is acceptable in the scope of a larger political cause. That those who point them out too zealously are political enemies.
I don't know, the video didn't show me that the objects traveled at any speed -- that's from the pilots testimony, but maybe it appeared to move against the backdrop as they were banking around it. I would expect fighter pilots to be a good judge, but maybe you lose some sense of velocity when you're surprised by something you haven't seen before.

Separately, radar operators saw something they didn't understand. It could have been noise as they are now looking out for tiny drones and very small radar signatures, they have sensitivity turned way up. Sometimes you see things that aren't really there.

I'm honestly going weather balloons on this one.
