I'm not quite following the ensuring secure execution of split operations section. There's an incomplete sentence:

>The split process is coupled with network isolation, which can lead to very complicated.

Maybe the second idea should be first, demonstrate the complexity of splits and then presenting the solution?

"you cannot brute force hypotheses", this isn't really true. Credit card data has notorious gaps and bias, but that doesn't mean that an algorithm cannot determine and make decisions about certain situations within that data. For example, if I receive a daily feed file of walmart transactions and the data is increasing in some kind of confidence measure that walmart will beat earnings, I stand to make a good sum by jumping into the market before competitors. It's common that all competitors are aware of the situation, aware of the possible alpha, and competing on speed/accuracy for it. So the superior ability of my model to take a calculated risk from incomplete data (as well as combine other data sources) is one way for me to make money. I may build a model of the common structure of the transactions, ensuring that any signal coming from the data is a real signal, and not one coming from one of the many data quality issues. In the case that my data quality classifier is pushing out high confidence, the result is saying earnings will beat, and other data sources are saying the same, then my model buys. Completing this kind of analysis by hand is too cumbersome (for my usual length of holding period), the money is in who gets there first. There are many ways, some more conservative.
What’s the reasoning behind the discount for siblings? Seems strange to me that this would affect the cost of tuition.
Ask HN: Software Engineering in SFBA vs. Product Management in NY
I'm currently a software engineer in the Bay Area, in a mid-sized company developing database software, with two years of experience (and a degree in CS).
I enjoy coding, but feel more confident in strategy and big-picture of the cloud market (and tech in general). I've done many side projects and my end-goal has always been to start my own startup.
My company is willing to offer me a position in product management, but the requirement is that I move to New York (where the company is HQ'ed). My impression is that the Product team is very sharp (great at vision as well as execution), so I'm potentially interested in making the move.

I have two questions:
1. Could moving from a strictly technical role to a more business-focused one this early on (2 to 3 years out of college) negatively impact my career (e.g. potential return to software engineering)? Product management in the company seems fairly technical, as the product is used by developers, DBAs, etc.
2. How does the tech scene look like in NY? I'm certain it's less developed than in the Bay Area, but would this have significant impact on my career in product management? I've heard and read that Product Managers have a harder time moving between companies, as the skills are less transferable and harder to evaluate.

Somebody probably made the same arguments when the first paper money was printed and when the first government fiat came about. This is the next money and it's important because corrupt governments can not steal it or devalue it by printing.
What does it matter if it's existing or not. The pipe helps Canada reduce spending money elsewhere. It helps the environment vs trucks, rail and tankers. A new pipe will help further, whether you think 25% imports is still high or not (it is still high, see next paragraph). You've already shown the benefits of adjusting Line 9.

Oil prices are not high. Today WTI is at $54 and Alberta oil (which is also Canada's oil) is selling at $12 cheaper (21%) because of transportation issues... that's then on top of that we pay an addition cost for refined products! $12 is per barrel... and we import 592 million barrels PER DAY according to the website you linked.

EDIT: you also said in a previous comment "and the world wide price of oil has been sagging for a half decade because of global macroeconomic forces"... but now you're saying oil is high? Ok, I'm really out of this discussion now, you're just making stuff up.

And Marvel movies are money printing machines. Aside from the forgettable Ed Norton Hulk movie, way back at the dawn of the era, they have all more than doubled up their budgets. It's reached the point where anything associated with the MCU will make a half billion at the box office, no sweat.

This kind of thing is all you see at the movie theater these days though. When there's a Marvel movie, a Star Wars movie, and two or three Disney movies out at the same time, that pretty much monopolizes all the screens at my local AMC. Except for the Oscar bait season that we are rolling into now, you have to go to Netflix or Amazon to find more adventurous mid-budget movies.

If the transitive project's owner agrees to letting anyone use your license key freely, we can certainly do this.

However I recommend setting up your own project on GitRoyalty since we automatically replace your license key with a bundle identifier (i.e. bundle:<repo>). This way, before users can download your project, we confirm their IP addresses are associated with active subscriptions to all your transitive dependencies.

Maybe combining jails with something like Ansible for building images and automating configuration would be close to good enough? Though more boilerplate? I wonder
This is no different than anything else. All sorts of unethical and exploitative arrangements are helpful for small firms’ bottom line, but easier to handle properly with larger scale.

Dumping toxic byproducts in the river. Forcing employees to work unpaid overtime. Keeping fraudulent books and evading taxes. Selling illegally dangerous products. Not following local building codes. Facilitating third-party fraud or money laundering...

Being a small business should not be license to do whatever you want, irrespective of the harm to customers, business partners, or others in the society.

In the case of data protection specifically, companies (perhaps especially small companies) are very cavalier with all sorts of data including personally identifiable information, financial information, communications, ...., and this causes serious harms when that data is misused directly or stolen by/leaked to/sold to someone who misuses it.

If a company cannot afford to stay in business while treating data carefully, then perhaps they should not be in business.
People in tech industry have excessive bias against businesses with no network effects or other obscenely effective barriers to entry. There are lots of successful, large corporations with varying levels of barriers to entry. Exxon Mobil doesn't have a network effect and has zero brand loyalty, but it's still a huge business. McDonald's also lacks network effects, though it does have some brand loyalty, perhaps similar to Uber.

Of course these businesses have some barriers to entry (so does Uber. Lyft et al. notwithstanding), but it's not a result of network effects that we're used to with companies like FB and eBay.
Yes, I've been doing this for about a year on a $5 droplet and it's fine. I haven't had any issues with blocking (but maybe its the sites I visit)?

That's like the hall of fame entry for things that aren't actually true about electric vehicles. Efficiency doesn't get worse at highway speeds as compared to gas engines. EVs and gas engines spend more of their energy going faster against air resistance. evs are vastly more efficient than gas cars in terms of energey efficiency, thats why electric cars have theoretical gas mileage of around 100 mpg. But gas is a very efficient energy storage mechanism, gas cars are about 1/4 the efficiency of electric cars but can be gased up quickly and have more net range usually.

Teslas don't lose half their range when it's cold. They do lose some range, but it's much less than other evs, because they heat up the pack. evs are great for cross country travel, if there are reasonable charging stations along the way (which is best with tesla).

There are probably several factors, but some of it might be related to how the legal system works.

Even if caught and convicted, you probably won't do much time if you only damage property, and you might not end up in any of the more secure wards.

The time window for prosecution is also different, with only murder/attempted murder having an indefinite limitation time. All other scale with the maximum punishment.

Thus for lesser crimes the state has to prosecute and bring you to court within a certain time, which is shorter the less serious the crime. If the state fails to do so, and the limitation period expires, you can't get charged even if evidence turns up.

Thus many criminals - especially career criminals if my understanding is correct - actually try to avoid - killing, or maiming people is possible. It's not worth the increased risk. At least that was what I was told by someone privy to these matters quite some years ago.

I'm fully open to the possibility that I've misinterpreted some of what you've said.

I wouldn't mind seeing that kind of system applied to some software companies. I'm not sure that fully solves the problem, but I really do like the idea of having someone willing to be held accountable for problems.

I think one issue with this would be that companies who keep their activity opaque enough are highly unlikely to be caught by users. A major data leak or a hacked system might be detectable, but a backroom deal to share data with a medical or insurance company would likely go undetected without a whistleblower to expose what was happening. If a bridge collapses, or a fire starts, or a floor sinks, it's a little easier to see when building/fire codes weren't followed.

I think a system like this would be best used when some rules are already in place for what a company can and cannot do. Then a company's certified security/privacy person would be responsible for making sure everything was done in full compliance with whatever guidelines were established. This would probably be needed anyway if you tried to sue the company's engineers later. If nothing they do with your data is actually illegal those lawsuits won't get very far.

I do agree that compliance checking and having that level of accountability could help developers rein in marketing teams, greedy shareholders, and stupid managers who put pressure on them to add tracking and anti-consumer code to their products.

I do worry about what it would mean for small startups, volunteer/personal projects, and single developers. It might be a more secure world if anyone who wants to write an app can't just slap a boilerplate notice that they aren't responsible for anything if you choose to use it, but my guess is that there might also be a lot fewer apps.
We have them - even in my small town there was a high school where the kids who were in and out of juvi would attend - everyone at the school knew it’s reputation. It’s where you went if you were expelled.

The problems that smart kids encounter are the same issues that appear generation after generation. Smart kids usually don't follow the crowd so they stand out and are easy picking for bullies. We want and are expecting bullies to disappear since we are better tuned into the problem of bullying. So things will change for the better we say but that's just, not reality.

There's special education for kids with special needs; why is there no special education for smart kids that will help them deal with social situations? Smart kids have to deal with social land mines that will scar them if not handled correctly. No matter how smart someone is there is no way to know what to do in all social situations especially since most of these kids will not have a role model to follow. Even if they are kids of parents that had to deal with the same issues it does not mean that the parents will be able to help.
Maybe I'm wrong(I hope I'm missing something, if I do please elaborate), but given the unpredictable behavior of package managers caching behavior and general dynamic IPs the individual license is basically meaningless.

I can't even begin to imagine the headache and potential problems of having to deal with this. Isn't there a better way to handle supporting open source projects?

But other than that looks pretty with more or less clean execution.

It works until it doesn't work anymore. Examples from mild to not-so-mild: Feds suing Bill; Madoff getting thrown in jail; Epstein losing his head.

I get what you mean by "bug", but I think it's less of a bug, and more of just how things work, and if we could have perfect information, it'd most likely all make sense.

At the end of the day, all of us are gonna have to choose our poison, because none of us are getting out of here alive. I think most people make the very reasonable choice to not end up in a situation where the past will come back to haunt them, since when it does come back it will be very difficult to control the how/when/where of it all.
> These harms would be magnified if kids who don't fit in with the crowd had even fewer options to escape.

The idea isn't to just get rid of private schools, but to take money that goes into that and finance better public education (which can still include ways for people to move around if needed!)

Having a separate world for the rich means that kids who "don't fit in with the crowd" but don't have wealthy parents won't have any way out.

In an alternate world where more money is invested in the public system, having wealth would no longer be a necessary requirement for having access to alternatives.
> Stocks represent actual ownership in the company, potentially voting control of the boards decisions.

A company is an abstract concept around a group of people, framed inside a legal entity. But yes, if you own many stocks you can sit at the table with some big boys. Most companies come with less risk than Bitcoin. But I rather buy Bitcoin than WeWork shares (assuming they list).

> Government bonds are backed by the full force and trust of the government they represent, and repay the face value plus yield promised at the time they were bought. They represent the most reliable yield you can get.

Until a government defaults. This doesn't happy every week, but ruling out that it doesn't is not the best investment strategy.

I'm not denying Bitcoin is speculation, but so is everything else. Sure Bitcoin might be more speculative under your frame of reference. But it's not black and white.

The Thirteen Colonies were the richest group of states under the British and as the US grew it continued to be land rich and labour poor. Americans were noticeably taller than Europeans until week after WWII. The rest of the world has caught up some but the US is without a doubt in the top ten by GDP per capita though competing with city states and what would be individual states there. Measured by average individual consumption it’s probably number 1. The US may not be a good place to be in the bottom 10%, possibly even the bottom 20% but by standards of living for normal people nowhere else compares.
Buses have many advantages over subways, especially over trains running at street level (since these can't go much faster than traffic). The main advantage of subways is ironically that they are inflexible - they can't be gutted in times of budget deficit.

And I would suspect this is how Toronto differs from the average American city. American city governments experience periodic budget squeezes that force politicians to gut every service which is gut-able and buses are always a logical target.

And this leads to both buses being abandoned due to unreliability and for the bus lines that do exist to, uh, worthless, run at too infrequent intervals to pick up significant ridership. And this lead to buses having a terrible reputation, reinforcing the cycle of poor ridership.
Situation is great, note that I operate my own channels and I'm not sending millions around every day.
I used to do simple maintenance on my vehicles. Helped my dad work on an 83 GMC Jimmy, and 88 Chevy Blazer, 78 Ford pickup and an 89 Chevy Pickup. Of all of those, the 83 Jimmy was the easiest to work on. Lots of room under the hood. I could literally sit on the front fender to change spark plugs or wires (I was a small teenager, but there was a ton of room to move around in). Now, I drive a 2013 Charger SRT with a 6.4L V8. There is next to no room under the hood. I wouldnt even bother trying. My hands have enough scars already. At least the battery is accessible in the trunk. My brother had an old Saturn, and you had to remove the passenger side front wheel to replace the battery. My wife's Accura is somewhat annoying, too. The battery is accesible directly from under the hood, but the angles you have to maneuver the battery is ridiculous.

What my time is worth has changed over the years, but what I'm willing to put up with has likewise changed. Yet, it's still valuable to know how to do basic things like top off fluids. Dont want to be stranded in the desert or a mountain pass if you dont know how to top off coolant, or seize an engine because your oil level is too low.

I dont do most of my maintenance any more, but I think its worth knowing the basics in a pinch. Adding fluids, jumping a battery, changing a tire, etc.
That’s saying it is a zero sum game. Why is that the assumption?

It seems intuitive that separating students by aptitude/achievement would make it easier to teach the cohort effectively.

If the range of abilities is too wide in a group of students the teacher is going to be miserable and so are all the students who don’t fall within the range the program is optimized for.

My mum got a pair and they just worked out of the box. Then a few months later I got a pair and when I turned them on they just kept saying to connect them to the app and refuse to pair to bluetooth. I then knew someone who got a pair after that and also had to connect them to the app.

Once paired to the app the first time it doesn't require it again and you can use them as regular bluetooth headphones. I'm guessing some product manager decided that not enough people were installing the app and had a change made so you were forced to use it at least once.

The physical cable probably did work. Initially I thought it wasn't working until I looked it up and found out you have to push it in harder before it clicks a second time

Mushrooms are highly profitable and require very little space, especially Shitake. Just a few wet logs inoculated with Shitake spores and your off to the races! A quick google seach says the bottom wholesale price is $4 per pound, thats double the price of chicken with maybe 5% the work. Unfortunately after thinking about it a bit there really is no escaping tech, even mushroom growing involves a great deal of technology in work, from packaging and transportation systems to marketing schemes. Technology has seeped into every aspect of modern life! But farming sure beats the commuting and cubicles of office work!!
> their bookings are so large that 10 percent change would net them billions more.

Kind of a hot take, but this is why I'm long Uber. They're processing an insane amount of orders, and getting a huge amount of people using their app. If Lyft dies, or if a merger occurs, then we have a large ride share company that is still a lot more than 10% better than taxis. Most customers will still be taking Ubers, regardless of that 10% price hike.

Of course, this is just for the ride share business. I don't see how food delivery will be profitable long-term. Maybe it'll be just a loss leader for them?
