Evaluate the commenter instead of the comment. That is, if you evaluated 100 comments by a commenter, you would probably get a useful estimate of how good a particular user's comments are.

Another factor would be to look for words that are tracers for "bad news". For instance, I saw my Aunt Lucy at the nursing home yesterday and she told me something she heard about Nancy Pelosi, and I already knew it was fake news, just because it was about Nancy Pelosi. There also are words and other signals that people are angry, disrespectful, etc.
Google has to get the Andy Rubin money back somehow.
From the article:

I always managed to interject a casual set of questions when I was setting up a meeting. “What type of food do you like? Do you have a favorite restaurant/location?”
Quarantining the most at risk and those who look after them could be the best solution as far as reducing deaths.

They keep saying don't wear facemasks but if you are a asymptomatic carrier a facemask will limit you spreading it to others. And if everyone wore a mask correctly you then have two barrier protection. The problem is we don't have enough masks, and would quickly run out of them for health workers dealing with confirmed cases.
The difference is that Lewandowski realized the value of the IP with the sale of the company. If the jury decides trade secrets made up x% of the company, he owes that percent of his proceeds. IMO, IANAL.
There's this theory - "CRDs Killed the Free Kubernetes Control Plane"

Basically running etcd in production with reasonable SLA and more than a little bit of data is super hard.
I think it's definitely supposed to work that way. My first year in my house, I tore out the previous owner's rose garden and planted tomatoes. Had so many that quite a few of them ended up falling off the plants and rotting into the soil. The next year, I scaled my intentional planting back but ended up with even more tomato plants because of the seeds from the previous year's decayed tomatoes. I'm not even going to plant this year, just water and hope that the same thing happens again.
It's probably not worth $75/month to prevent developer A's pod from interfering with developer B's pod due to an exploit in gVisor, the linux kernel, the hypervisor, or the CPU microcode. Those exploits do exist (remember Spectre and Meltdown), but probably aren't relevant to 99% of workloads.

Ultimately, all isolation has its limits. Traditional VMs suffer from hypervisor exploits. Dedicated machines suffer from network-level exploits (network card firmware bugs, ARP floods, malicious BGP "misconfigurations"), etc. You can spend an infinite amount of money while still not bringing the risk to zero, so you have to deploy your resources wisely.

Engineering is about balancing cost and benefit. It's not worth paying a team of CPU engineers to develop a new CPU for you because you're worried about Apache interfering with MySQL; the benefit is near-zero and the cost is astronomical. Similarly, it doesn't make sense to run the two applications in two separate Kubernetes clusters. It's going to cost you thousands of dollars a month in wasted CPUs sitting around, control plane costs, and management, while only protecting you against the very rare case of someone compromising Apache because they found a bug in MySQL that lets them escape the sandbox.

Meanwhile, people are sitting around writing IP whitelists for separate virtual machines because they haven't bothered to read the documentation for Istio or Linkerd which they get for free and actually adds security, observability, and protection against misconfiguration.

Everyone on Hacker News is that 1% with an uncommon workload and an unlimited budget, but 99% of people are going to have a more enjoyable experience by just sharing a pool of machines and enforcing policy at the Kubernetes level.
People can't see who's contagious in the early stages, so they're gambling with their lives by not taking proactive precautions before it's a widespread problem.

COVID-19/SARS-cov-2 is something to take seriously for several reasons:

- To reiterate an important point: "Healthy" infected people go around unwittingly spreading it for several days to a week, so you have no idea who's really sick. And you have no idea how many people in public actually have it at any one time. It's another reason this pathogen is so successful.

- It's a terrible flu for most.

- It can quickly turn life-threatening. A number of bodies were discovered in Wuhan of people trying to walk or drive themselves to the hospital, but they died before reaching it.

- FIXED: If hospitalization is needed, the average CFR is 16% (Russian roulette odds) and 49% for critical condition.

- There is no treatment.

It's going to be a full pandemic in 7-21 days (depending on the area), and last from 19-35 days. For example, someone already died from it within 40 mi / 64 km of where my mom lives in a rural/suburban area. You have to assume the number of infected is 10-30x the number of identified cases because the CDC has strict PUI criteria that are turning away patients. (Oh, and it costs $2000±1000 if you take the test and test negative.)
Looks linke a Crash Test track Mark?
Does it? The guy says he has $50M-$100M and it seems like most (all?) of that came from selling Otto to Uber. And he intentionally didn't settle. Seems like if the value of the sell was based on Google's IP which he had contracted to not share, then this is not really an unexpected outcome?
It's been amusing to hear his story. Starting a church/religion was my favorite part.

I bet Google and a bunch of other companies are excited about the message this sends to other arrogant engineers who might be considering leaving and building new companies with ideas developed at their prior places of employment. That precedent is worth billions if not trillions.
I've never liked git flow due to:

A) the way it abuses the commit DAG: you never merge master directly back to develop, and so your tags don't become ancestors of the commits on develop until some timer later when an unrelated hotfix is branched from master. E.g., you can't rely on "git branch --contains v1.0.1" to tell you which branches do/don't contain the 1.0.1 hotfix because the hotfix branch was merged to develop, but not the merge commit that was tagged as 1.0.1.

B) its blatant disregard for one of the most basic software development principles: when you want to deploy a new version of your software, you test a specific a revision of your code and that's the revision that you deploy. With Git Flow, you go to great lengths to ensure your release branch is isolated from other work for testing, but then you merge to master and deploy the merge commit instead of the commit you just tested.
There's ways to bite off a little. I live rural, work remotely have a decent garden and the wind in my area makes for little snow shoveling. Garden is two days of work each season. Fun to do with the kids.
Now that hits close to home -- I mean, if he'd timed the drop, he'd probably be a trillionaire by now.
It's also half the reason behind the Jones Act. Shipping between US ports must be done with US-made ships with US crews. If it weren't for this, US shipyards wouldn't have enough orders or expertise to stay open, and thus wouldn't be available for military orders in case of war.
Via an executive order, probably. Call it a public health crisis or whatever. It has been done before - https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/statement-signing-....

No, it would require an amendment to the Uniform Time Act [1]. Under current law, states can opt out of DST (subject to some conditions), but the federal executive branch can't unilaterally force them to opt out.

What are people's thoughts on using Calendly and the like? I'm asking people for meetings a lot lately, and usually after they agree I send them a link and ask them to "find whatever time works best for you."

Practically, this seems like the nicest thing to do. They get to pick a time in my very open schedule and there's no back and forth. But emotionally, it feels like I'm giving a task to someone who just accepted to help me.

These are all 20 minute video calls, by the way.
Also it's good luck to throw a pinch of salt over your shoulder, so any backwards shots you take is +3 to luck
This seems like the perfect exercise for computer vision and machine learning/AI to rapidly alert the lifeguard to the drowning child or deploy some sort of scuba robot flotation device that can get to the drowning person before a lifeguard to shave off precious second that can cause brain damage from deoxygenation.
> If hospitalization is needed, the average fatality rate (critical CFR) is 49%

This is only true for people who are listed in “critical” condition. The fatality rate for most hospitalized people is much lower.
Does MSFT still use smartcards everywhere?
That's one of my favorites too! I didn't know it had a name either.

When I want to play around, I try swimming backwards. On my back, with my feet straight ahead and motionless, I stroke backwards with my arms so I move in the direction my feet are pointing.

In Stallman thinking though, he doesn't have the freedom to fix or update it himself.

(I don't think Stallman's ideas are necessarily right for everybody, but I'm glad he's doing his thing right out in his end of the bell curve to counteract the opposite end of the software philosophy craziness...)
"building new companies with ideas developed at their prior places of employment" is VERY different from copying files and stealing IP. The former is the reason Silicon Valley is what it is today.
Not Just the Flu
Ugh. The third one. We need "thisJPEGartifactdoesnotexist.com" now.
I consider any job a training schedule. Progress is then defined entirely differently. I comfortably scale down the amount of work I do by monitoring my own mood. I must be under sufficient stress not just to maintain but also to expand my abilities. Doing slightly less would just do maintenance, doing slightly more in the long run causes injury and burn out.

I get a lot of extra comfort from the knowledge I will continuously improve. If I keep the stress slightly to low I wont grow as much but the recovery window will be smaller. If it is slightly to high recovery takes longer and the speed of progress is less than ideal.

Needless to say: Nothing is as important as eating properly and getting enough sleep.

I'm able to do idiotic amounts of work and enjoy it but if I explain the above to people who know this they never seem to understand. It hurts seeing people ruin their health with work but I keep seeing it.

After lots of fiddling I'm 99% sure that a 3 day work week is ideal to fully exhaust ones abilities. (If I'm not recovered fully in 4 days I do slightly less the next week.)

I use to think it depends on the job but if the work cant be done any faster you just make longer days. Something like 1 day 16 hours, 1 day off, 2 days 16 hours, 3 days off. If I work 6 or 7 days 8 hours per day I do roughly 1/3 per hour.

As one coworker of mine "famously" said when he was again asked to work extra shift: When do I live?
>To reiterate an important point: "Healthy" infected people go around unwittingly spreading it for several days to a week, so you have no idea who's really sick.

According to the newest WHO report (also posted on the frontpage of HN) this doesn't appear to be the case. There are apparently few asymptomatic cases and the disease mainly is spread by people who are symptomatic.

>You have to assume the number of infected is 10-30x the number

This sounds like pure speculation and is probably not a reasonable thing to assume.
What you linked is a statement Nixon issued after signing a law passed by Congress, not Nixon unilaterally changing DST by executive order.
Arbitration panel, in this case. The real answer is that the legal system is not set up to keep a globally consistent harm_done->liability map. For one thing, the contents of employment contracts may lead to different damages in otherwise identical circumstances. For another thing, even if the circumstances were identical, it would be inefficient for justices to have to search every other possible case to make sure they are consistent with each other one. The law is a fuzzy rule system, not a perfect logical construct.
I recently built an HN client [1] to scratch an itch and try out the HN API. It caches data to SQL and redis.

It has never been shared and I only use it personally so expect lots of bugs.

I may open source the code after I clean it up.

Very difficult to answer this with specificity, but in general there are a number of factors that influence the amount of cash you ultimately net from a sale, including:

- Cap table: what % is owed to other founders, investors, employees, etc?

- The total acquisition price may include substantial legal and other fees that will lower the actual amount received by the owners or shareholders.

- How much of the acquisition is financed through cash vs. equity? Equity may vest over a certain time period, and be subject to certain requirements (your sustained performance, ability to clear legal scrutiny, etc.).

- Taxes.

Taking all of this (and probably more) into consideration, it doesn't seem unreasonable for a founder to ultimately net <10% of the total sale price. Again, this is all wild speculation in this particular case.
The 'rotating barrel' passenger carriages are a sweet engineering touch ...
Care with DigitalOcean's Kubernetes offering. Unless they have completely revamped their entire stack since their initial release, it's a security nightmare. The way they launched it was unacceptable for any company to use. I immediately migrated my projects away and closed my account upon understanding how abysmally they screwed up the security of that offering. The fact they were willing to launch that means they cannot be trusted to host anything.

Not only are your cluster's administration ports exposed on public addresses with no ability to firewall them, but each node pulls an Admin-level auth token to manage the DigitalOcean account behind the scenes. A single http request made to an internal IP, from within any Docker container running within the cluster, grants the attacker full read/write access and control to the underlying DigitalOcean account. This includes any developer who does so from code deployed into the cluster, giving the developer full access to the business's DigitalOcean account.
well, multiples of that before this settlement was announced.
..."Levandowski himself may not have to pay the money personally, as this sort of liability may fall to his employer depending on his contract or other legal quirks."
Until we solve the hard problem of consciousness, the door on p-zombies is wide open. It's arrogant to assume that just because you are conscious, everyone else must be conscious like you. Maybe consciousness is caused by a particular benevolent parasite living in your gut, and whoever lacks that parasite lacks consciosness.
And every explosion in space is really really loud.
That’s a very valid question, and I agree the article fails to explain. The problem is that the answer is complicated (see the discussion at the bottom of the notes I posted). So my suggestion is
1) convince yourself sharing a classic seed is not enough to always win
2) read the blog post describing a simpler problem from ahelwer
3) take it on faith that this idea can be used for the magic square game
4) I know this is an unsatisfactory answer, but hopefully it is a start!
Well, never mind then. Although Trump did pledge exactly this (permanent DST via executive action) during his campaign, and if anyone is going to try and ram it through regardless of legality or consequences, it's him.
Can someone explain to me or point me to some sources as to how Neanderthals and Denisovans came about?

Was it just an older form of human that left Africa and turned into Neanderthal/Denisovan once they got to their “final” localities?

When did this happen? What was the form that left Africa and eventually turned into Neanderthals?
Interesting. Got any good reads on this?

You can see immediately below that he personally filed for bankruptcy. Now when rich people do this it doesn't always mean the same thing as when ordinary people do it, but it seems unlikely that he would need to take that step if he had no liability.

Git is inherently dangerous and overly complex - such a script shouldn't ever have to exist for so many reasons.
True, it shows that even highly valuable employees are Davids (or Sauls) against a corporate Goliath.
No, those are pre-settlement. He's now insolvent. The article touches on this at the end.
A general contractor can penalize/blacklist sub contractors who don't take their jobs, too. Of course, most of the time, there are reasonable humans on both sides and this can be solved, whereas the gig services operate at a scale where it feels harder to get mutual satisfaction, which might be one of the core issues.

I'm honestly not sure where this all ends up. The services certainly _feel_ exploitive when you hear about all the horror stories, but turning everyone into employees may then be fraught with new issues of employer<>employee rights and obligations (for ex defined hours, time off, etc)
So where it says support for 16 antennas, that means that there are 16 individual rf amplifiers, and the phase and amplitude of each channel is being set to do the beamforming?

Can a user just put in 16 rf feeds and do the beam steering themself?

If used in the standard form, can it do digital beamforming (send different info on different beams)?
The lay on your back technique works for those who it works for, and it should absolutely be taught to everyone just so that whoever it works for knows about it and uses it when they find themselves in a situation when it could save their life. Less drowning in calm waters is a net positive. But there is a percentage of the population who can’t simply float.

Some of us literally sink if we don’t swim.

One time my friend looked at me in awe as I laid on my back, relaxed, and sunk. We tried it over and over again. I was as curious as she was. She had to put her hands under my body to keep my body above water. When she removed her hands I’d begin to submerge, just laying on my back, arms stretched out, until I was fully underwater. But she did the same and she would float.

I wasn’t tense, but rather relaxed and not panicking, since I could swim (the only way I know to stay afloat) and knew she was right there. And I mean, not that hard to just lie there calm and relaxed. I have to actively swim in order to stay afloat. And I’m not the only one..

Although strangely enough dead bodies float so what’s up with that?
Counterparty risk; something the WSB crowd is going to painfully learn in the next few months :P
The 737 Max is actually a great analogy, but you and I come to different conclusions. The FAA shot themselves in the foot by not grounding the Max after the second crash. They were previously so trusted that their standards were the default for other countries. The widespread trust made it easier and faster for American planes to go to market. That trust took decades to build up and will not be easily restored.
It's interesting how naive the gcloud folks in commenting here seem to be about how it is to be an enterprise customer evaluating their service. Deploying to a cloud vendor is a bit like deciding to build a house on a rented lot. You place an incredible amount of trust in your landlord - unbelievable really. It's a miracle people do it at all in some ways. This kind of action is like Google going to their land for rent and posting earthquake signs on front of it. It is toxic to the most fundamental element of trust people rely on when they choose a cloud vendor. It can't possibly be worth whatever miniscule revenue they will accrue from implementing this.
Do you have evidence for that? I was sceptical about the "simply for expressing honest opinions" part. I looked at your comments on this account. It seems your most recent comment was downvoted, then you replied to yourself beginning with

> Who the fuck downvoted this post, and what is your issue, asswipe? Seriously.

I stopped reading it at that point.

Your comment before that ends with

> Take me, for instance. Made my first account a few months ago, posting my opinions innocently. Shadow banned in less than 15 POSTS. Holy shit! Talk about being shocked. Did you care, when I brought this to your attention? Does it matter to you that you are driving good people away from here every day? Of course not. You're too self-absorbed to care.
And you even sit around having these long discussions, thinking up clever and creative ways to be even more of a hellspawn against these people whose opinions you hate so much. New ways to separate people from society and trap them inside a cage where you don't have to hear their thoughts or opinions. Has there ever been a more sick or contemptible society in the history of man?

> Go ahead and ban/shadowban this account also, please. I will just make another. And another. And another. And another...........and another......... from now until the end of time. Eventually I will automate the process, and submit my comments in batches, at a far higher rate than your mods can find and hide them. In my irritation at your unchecked fascism, my comments will ALL be as sharp as a knife, to keep driving the truth home as frequently as possible, until these "mysteries" you "just don't understand" are finally and definitely solved in your mind.

If you have no idea how bad it already was when WHO suggest not restrictions needed, than I would suggest you watch this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-nv7j9HEgY

Many of the footage are before the Jan 30 WHO announcement, like the many body moving in front of hospital.

WHO probably already know what's really happening there, but still given wrong advice, so that many countries, like Korean, Japan follow the instruction by WHO, not imposing the restriction on China. And now people in these countries are suffering from the misinformation provided by WHO.

Another evidence WHO is controlled by China, that is when Taiwanese people want to join WHO to get latest update about the virus and help from the world, Chinese government doesn't want this to happen.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/22/china-health-coronaviru...

So basically Taiwan was excluded from the global health system for long time because that.

I am from Taiwan, I don't feel surprise at all that WHO is controlled by China, as they have shown it that way long time ago on the issue of excluding people from Taiwan. So that's obviously political over people's health in the world.
