I think the point is rather that it's an unpredictable-stakes game. That is, if you make few enough mistakes, you'll be fine for a long time until you make the wrong mistake at the wrong time and it kills somebody.

Maybe a better analogy is driving a car, that is, nuclear power and self-driving cars are both vaguely like driving a car.

However, my intuition is that nuclear power has less variables than driving a car. I say intuition because I don't know much about neither.

I think the point is that self-driving cars trained on poor data are no better than poorly trained superhumans at driving.
How does this differentiate from something like Opsgenie? They already have a built-in incident command center that can notify everyone in an org, Slack integration and postmortems. Would be interesting to see how all of the features stack up to one another.
Looking at those Data,

It seems they will soon reach 1000 PB / 1EB.

Boeing creates new in-house avionics unit, reversing years of outsourcing
No.

Why? Apple will replace it with a new one in WWDC 2020. Don't waste your money on a 2019 MacBook.
Not all of them, but the A, A+ and zero do. Basically all models _without_ a built-in USB hub work. The Pi 4 is capable of OTG only over the USB-C port, and only with a recent firmware.

They support a bunch of modes, like Mass Storage, Ethernet, Serial, HID, etc.

I once heard of a rich man who had his assistant burn podcasts onto CDs for him to listen to in the car. I don't think it would be normal usage to say he is a "podcast listener" though. When people think of podcasts, they think of someone using the internet to listen to audio, not a weirdo rich guy with assistants to do the dirty work of learning new technologies.

Would you say that a rich guy who has his assistants send emails is an email user? For example, it has been speculated that Trump has never sent an email.[1] But surely they didn't mean he's never had an assistant send an email. They mean he never used the application to do it himself.

Language is flexible and user driven, but parts of how people use language is to defer to expert users for fine distinctions while making the broad categorizations themselves. Experts have determined what is and isn't a "monkey" but it's sort of an absurd category because it has to carve out homo sapiens but include old world and new world monkeys.

In this case, users might not know that podcasts have RSS behind them, but they certainly know that a podcast is prerecorded audio delivered over the internet and they somewhat defer to experts about the formatting, the way that they would agree that a "Betamax" is not a "VHS" but an "S-VHS" might be a "VHS" to a layman.
The ends don't justify the means. Instead, the means used define the ends achieved.
As an Italian, I understand this... but the obvious question is: why didn’t you open it at a branch more convenient for you?
Windows have not been getting bigger as a rule. Boeing did make larger windows but Airbus didn’t. The A350 has small windows.

Window size is also not the main factor that matters. For instance I would take an A350 over an 787 any day (also because of the terrible tint windows) due to cabin layout and size.
This would constitute interstate commerce which is explicitly mentioned in the US constitution as a power reserved to the Federal government. If Utah wanted to manufacture Utah only non-patented pharmaceuticals then they could escape that regulation. However importing across state lines is within the jurisdiction of the Federal government.
Is there a specific reason for that, do they offer easy intl transfers or are very welcoming with support in many languages etc? I've vaguely known they exist but have only a few days ago seen one of their ads on public transportation (which doesn't say much, I'm not in the city a lot, but still).
The general problem with "ends justify the means" arguments, as I see it, is not as much completeness of the consequences, but rather the risk analysis. A lot of "ends justify the means" points of view involve doing certain harm now for uncertain good in the future. Like "lets execute a few thousand class traitors today, so we can build a socialist paradise tomorrow" or "lets lower the taxes for the rich and in a few years the wealth will trickle down". At this point it is kinda hard to be a consistent consequentialist. How certain do you have to be about the paradise of tomorrow to justify an execution today?
Likely outcome is that the UK will diverge barely at all in terms of the actual rules, but will rename a lot of things and give it all some sort of "Britishness" spit and polish, and most people who voted leave will be happy with it.
Actually Johnson isn't going to be focused on reduced regulation.

He will be focused on regulatory alignment with the US as he desperately needs to sign a US-UK FTA. And yes the US has a lot less regulations than the EU e.g. chlorinated chicken but in other areas it is not less but just different.

UK businesses are going to find the next decade extremely painful as they deal with trying to support US and EU regulations whilst also dealing with customs controls at the border. So all of the pain with none of the benefits.

I'd just like a feature to download a list of my library. Not the audio itself, it's not mine, but the selection I made. Then if Spotify has any problem (loses data, shutdowns suddenly, whatever) I have a backup of my data.

That's the thing: most of the oft-repeated threads are unconvincing at best and plain dishonest at worst. If there better examples of RMS's inappropriate behavior we should be focusing on those.
Can't say I agree with that sentiment. The fact that I can quite reasonably have a 30TB usable RAID5 NAS array makes me feel pretty spoiled. Then again, I'm old enough that my first HDD was 10MB.
That thought is one reason why I've always questioned this advice:

"Don't roll your own encryption."

I've always understood the arguments for it but that the advice is so widespread seemed a little counter intuitive. It always seemed, to me at least, that having millions of encryption algorithms out there would be inherently more secure than a lot of people standardized on one because the risk to any one would be so compartmentalized by comparison.
Can't reply to salawat, but the Airbus a380 as well as the a340 and others have external cameras you can view in your in-flight entertainment.
People seem to take for granted that things like that will never change, but always is a very long time --much longer than modern history. I hope you don't just expect/accept that we should kill ourselves off as opposed to reaching some kind of sustainability.

One of the problems that a lot of engineers have is failing to recognize that their time has a cost. Spending 4 extra hours of your own time setting up a mail server that will cost you $5/month to run instead of paying $10 per month for Office 365 or some other service is not really saving you money because that initial 4 hours of labor is time you could've spent doing other things for the business. It's not free time.

I find it really helps to put a dollar value on an hour of my time. In that context, if 1 hour of my time is worth $75 and I've spent 4 hours setting up this mail server, I've spent $300 on my labor in addition to the $60/year for the cost of the server. Obviously this doesn't work in all cases but it really helps me determine when it's worth it for me to spend my time doing something and when it's better to outsource it.
What an amateur advice. Every sophisticated roulette player know you don't do that.

I use ledger [0] for all my personal finances. It's probably a little too nerdy for some folks but works perfectly for me: the combination of plain text [1] and the command line keeps me interested.

I'm not 3dfan, but it sounds like their methodology avoids being too organized to lower the barrier to writing these things. The cool thing about simple text files is that you can get superb search with grep and similar tools. The git repo also seems more approachable than having to use a website interface.

At least in the US more productive states like New York and California heavily subsidize less productive states like New Mexico.

I think there was real fear that Brexit was required to avoid a similar situation developing in the EU.

Isn't that the case for the majority of new businesses? It takes time and investment to build a customer base, and you might be in the red for the first few years.

Better-capitalized companies like Uber, Dropbox and Spotify etc have been around for ~10 years and can't make a profit.

You are thinking of this in terms of Brexit. N26 are thinking of this in terms of the costs of getting UK license and managing UK regulations on top of EU regulations, relative to what they think they can achieve in the UK. They decided it might be safer to stick to their existing market.
I've had a theory that:

In the long run, consequentialism and virtue ethics converge.

Calibrate your chosen virtues to produce good outcomes. The more experience you have, the more closely you can understand which virtues result in which ends.

I don't keep a strict budget, I am just generally frugal and don't spend a lot of money outside of food, groceries, coffee, and rent/utilities. I also only rarely drink for special occasions, which cuts a lot of expenses as well.

As far as travel expenses go I've been casually churning credit cards for a couple years now. A few new sign up bonuses on travel credit cards pays for most of my personal travel needs every year.
I don’t know if it’s alright to mention my own work, but the book I wrote to teach React is project-based. It’s got a bunch of very small projects and exercises rather than a single massive one, and the later projects review concepts from the earlier ones. It’s called Pure React and it’s digital-only right now (maybe one day I’ll get it printed!) https://daveceddia.com/pure-react/

I wish I learnt a few things earlier. like benefits of Roth IRA, why contributing to 401K is better even though the money is locked in until 60 etc.. felt incredibly stupid not starting them both in 20s. wonder what other no-brainer things like these are there. if any, please do share
Yeah. I didn't mention Transformer-XL because I'm not sure how much of a long-range dependency it actually learns to handle. The only papers I've seen on recurrency indicate that they tend to learn very short-range dependencies, while something like Reformer with direct access to thousands of timesteps seems more likely to actually be making use of them.
Indeed, a great call out. Props also to the French company sponsoring the Veracrypt fork.
i'm sorry but the person who had the idea of exposing an api endpoint to get admin user and password in cleartext (and for something related to politics above that) hasn't ever set foot in a computer science class.

The level of incompetence required to commit such a fault is beyond what i would expect from any "third world" country. So, the fact that it happened in a country that advertize itself as a startup nation, and is exposed to one of the highest level of terrorist threat in the world is beyond my comprehension.

If i were israeli i would recognize this event as one of the most damaging one of the last decade in term of public image. Israel has a huge flourishing business related to cybersecurity, mostly based on the reputation the country has for having the best specialists. If you know anything about business, you know how much image is important, and how this issue should be treated as a PR disaster for the whole country.

On the contrary. When you are a master of the dark arts, you can't help but see other practitioners around every corner.

I don't think so. Looking down isn't what people look out the windows at, it's the horizon. Looking straight down would be generally frightening, sickening, to many people... whereas the horizon is steady and calming.

But either way, once you're above the clouds, windows are OK but kinda useless. View doesn't change much up there, or at night!

Brexit affects business; they're not cleanly separable. Companies that were competitive before may not be anymore. The only real test would be to take projected metrics (in terms of business closures, job losses etc) from before the vote and compare to reality.
Ask HN: Who is using AWS Workspaces for your development environment?
In order to secure access to our AWS infrastructure, we are leveraging AWS Workspaces for development work, e.g. Devs remote into Workspaces and assume proper IAM roles for invoking AWS's API.

We have a wide assortment of latency issues, keyboard shortcuts not being acknowledge, etc.

I am curious to how prevalent development work via a remote desktop is in the industry?

Throughout my career I have only developed locally via my own workstation/laptop. Is this not the case for some organizations?

What is your dev setup for communicating with your Cloud Provider's API?
Not if they were thinking that their European license would still work post Brexit and will have an easy path to conversion of that license when needed. Seems like a reasonable assumption.

(On the other hand, it's not a very positive report! Lots of basic issues with build reproducibility and updates)
Yeah, that's what we do as well. After the first couple of years in my first job, during which I spent a little bit more on stuff I couldn't afford before (sport equipment and such) but within my means, we stopped spending at a level below what our combined salaries would allow. It's a nice feeling to have enough buffer for a couple of months. And the opportunity to opt for a lower salary without any financial risk. Generally sound advice to live below ones means. And stay there.

EDIT: One thing that helped a lot in doing so was to treat any bonuses, whether that is stock, years end bonuses or any variable salary elements, as just that. A bonus. Don't plan with it as part of your salary, put it aside. And only use it for stuff, like, a house. Or true emergencies.

Also, have a separate bank account at different bank. Put every month, even a small sum is enough, on that account. Every month. Every year. And never look at that account, ever. Until the world is to end and you need cash. Until that point, don't even think about that account, never ever. Forget it is there.
We lived in one place, then moved. We got our mortgage via the one close to us prior to the move. Now we live in the US and it doesn't matter so much as trying to do anything with the bank from here is pretty much impossible. We had asked about having everything moved over to the branch closer to our home, but apparently the logistical requirements are close to those for sending a manned mission to the moon.
This thread needs to be at the top of the heap. I've read the WaPo article and it would be interesting to know exactly what's newly being revealed in it.
When I worked at Twitter we wanted to find out if we were finally going to survive New Years. Our head of SRE wanted me to test in prod, which horrified me but he convinced me in the end. In order to simulate the population of Japan I had to make a bunch of fake users. I spent a fair amount of time making sure they wouldn’t get caught up in any analytics, throwing off our active user numbers, and I managed to peg the ‘follows’ service getting them all to follow each other in a reasonable distribution. I also needed to bypass the rate limiter, but since I was in prod I could just reset my own counter in prod and effectively be totally limitless.

Two things broke in a visible way during all of this. During testing everything was wired up to my personal account. I managed to spam all my followers with thousands of happy new year tweets in a couple seconds since I wasn’t subject to the rate limiter. I deleted all but one of those, which I left to remind myself that with great power comes great stories of things going wrong.

The other thing was a bit more dramatic, albeit short-lived. The first big test had everyone ready to go. I hit enter on the job, and at the time (maybe still) I had no way to get metrics out of production at a granularity less than one minute. A very worried minute goes by, and then we realize I’ve DDOSed the authentication service. All my fake accounts needed to auth to actually tweet, and naturally they did that first. Since the whole point of the test was for load to all hit in roughly the same second, the auth load also all arrived in the same second. Oops.

We decided that was an unfair test, I spent a few hours getting auth tokens for my fake users, and we tried again. That time everything worked, and we also survived New Year’s... But it was fun getting there.
I feel like you need a goal or you need some sort of framework to make yourself feel safe.

Say here's just an example (DO NOT QUOTE THIS): Most people don't know how much money they should have for retirement. The FIRE movement suggest Expense * 25 = Your Nest so you can take 4% annually. People don't have to follow the FIRE lifestyle but the calculation itself could give some deadline/goals to keep yourself "sane" because Mathematically it looks "sound" (better than NOBODY KNOWS!).

Deontological ethics or deontology is the normative ethical theory that the morality of an action should be based on whether that action itself is right or wrong under a series of rules, rather than based on the consequences of the action. (from wikipedia).

You may be confused because you've circled the drain a bit considering a few particular philosophers and their stances. The categorical imperative is a particular deontological rule that closely resembles consequentialism.
Disclosure: I am a founder at bytebase.io, currently in closed beta. We're building Bytebase with this kind of use case in mind.

Wikis - we found wikis are too heavyweight and formal to be used consistently for recording learnings.

Slack - in our experience, Slack makes capturing learnings easy but organizing and keeping track of learnings difficult.

Our goal with BB is to make recording a learning as convenient as writing a Slack message AND to make organizing and keeping track of these learnings similarly easy.

You can write bytes directly in Bytebase or save them from Slack.

Would love any feedback or ideas. Email me (cara@bytebase.io) to get access to the closed beta with HN in the subject line.
N26 is not competitive in the UK, Brexit or no Brexit, judging by the numbers. There are more established competitors and N26 is struggling to take off.
> It's also quite ironic that an organization that has assassinated numerous people are attempting to destroy the reputation of one of their enemies by claiming that he attempted to assassinate somebody.

The United States Government (USG) enjoys a monopoly of violence (consent of the governed). However, a citizen (or group of them -- org/corp) does not enjoy such rights. Your comparison is invalidated.
It's easy to say that with hindsight. At the time it wasn't so clear. Well, perhaps it was after the general election in '17. But then it was also clear that the political situation was very unstable and could change again at any moment, which it eventually did. It would have been pretty arrogant to presume that things were going to be business as usual.
Interestingly, N26 here in Germany advertises with “no hidden charges” and then goes on to charge you for almost everything. Like using an ATM more than 3 times a month. What?
