I made a roof rack for my miata which attaches to the roll bar and windshield frame like the convertible top, it enables moving 4x8 sheets of plywood/drywall. I even moved a 305 gallon cistern using the setup without trouble, and a dozen 4x6x12' beams of douglas fir.
I use this to my advantage. Often when somebody writes “hi” I don’t respond and they go away.
What's the problem with liking big vehicles? To each his own.

I love motorbikes. They are so cool. I don't need it, it is not practical for commute, it rains a lot where I live... yet I have one just to ride on weekends.
When something breaks you log in to the machine and make incremental updates to fix it, right? This approach leads to non-reproducible deployment environments. Immutable systems are better, and Dockerfile is essentially a written record of how to reproduce the environment.
I read TFA as mostly complaining about the conceptual and operational complexity of running your code on k8s, not so much about operating a cluster itself.

Lots of ink spilled on irrelevant concepts that most users don't need to know or care about like EndpointSlices.

And, arguing against microservices is a reasonable position -- but IF you have made that architectural choice, then Docker-for-Mac + the built-in kubernetes cluster is the most developer-friendly way of working on microservices that I am aware of. So a bit of a non-sequiteur there.
UBI is like any other government service: if you're spending more on [Service aimed at me] than I actually need to become a productive member of society (or at least not a drain on it), you're not spending your money right.

You can spend that government money on any number of services: Prisons, Childcare, Libraries, Transportation, etc. UBI is different in one major detail:

UBI assumes that people are, at this stage of human technology and society, smarter about how to spend that money the government is ALREADY going to spend on them than the government itself is.

Furthermore, to differentiate itself from mere "welfare", any attempt at means-testing to try and ensure that only "worthy" clients get UBI is just going to add further cost to the system. Specifically, it will cost more than simply distributing the money involved. After all, drug tests cost money. Paperwork costs money. Employing enforcers costs money AND office space AND equipment for them to do their job.

It's a radical notion -- after all, doesn't figuring out if giving out "free money" actually saves money still itself cost money? Still, we're not comparing UBI to a mythical "perfect system"; we're trying to compare it to the imperfect system we have right now, where the cost of NOT doing it gets reflected in things like crime, mental illness, drug abuse, preventable deaths, etc.

There is already a cost associated to continuing to do things "the way we've always done them". UBI is that same cost spent in a different way.

The cost of insourcing a SaaS type product is that, when it's broken, you have typically 1 person or small team; and that 1 person is typically responsible for other SaaS apps that may fail at the same time.

Setup time may be similar; but if something goes wrong, the cost is a loss of whatever other project that person is working on to fix it (+ the mental overhead of preparing to handle fixes)
RSS/Atom still has its place and for many is still the favorite way to subscribe to content on the internet. I built my own feed reader just a few months ago. On top of it I added a simple recommendation algorithm based on statistics of my reading behavior and article topics.
I prefer the simplicity and accessibility of RSS. The standard itself plays more or less a secondary role nowadays. The various feed readers building on top it are still innovating and still attract new users.
Wayland (the protocol) supports the necessary bits and it's up to the compositors if they want to go the extra mile to support everything.

My own personal take is that most compositors won't because X does not represent multi user graphical computing in the way that most people use it today. That role is fulfilled by web applications.
Not replace, rather, you boot Linux over USB. That is why they describe the ephemeral device use case.
I literally cannot believe you are seriously making this argument.
RSS the protocol, or RSS the experience?
The Protocol is alive and kicking, as far as being available, but it's been more or less killed by publishers not promoting it out of the box. AFAIK ad revenue is basically the reason.

The replacement set of broadcast tools is still Facebook, Twitter, Direct, and Newsletters. Newsletters are really the new feed.
Like so many cryptocurrency projects, Filecoin just seems like a solution in search of a problem more than anything else. What exact problem is Filecoin trying to solve that's not possible with current infrastructure? It seems like the decentralization adds a lot of overhead and complexity for no benefit.

The main argument that I hear is that somehow Filecoin will be cheaper than centralized competitors. However, services such as Backblaze are already quite efficient. Why exactly would costs be cheaper and why can't Backblaze do those same things and overtake Filecoin?
What I know is that the USPS is often the cheapest and easiest way to send a package. The number of services they offer outpaces FedEx and UPS. What I pay in taxes for public schools is magnitudes cheaper than the average private school tuition. The taxes I pay in exchange for access to nearly every single book for free is a helluva lot cheaper than buying a single book new or used. Paying for a ride of a public bus is a lot cheaper than uber or lyft.

I assume the cost of bureaucracy is what we collectively pay for in taxes. If what I pay in taxes for these public services is cheaper than purchasing these goods and services through for-profit vendors, I think I can safely say I do not get a similar cost in bureaucracy.

Additionally, even if these things were slightly more expensive than the "free market" I would be willing to pay more and help share the burden of ensuring everyone had universal access.
They may have but regardless of them doing so, gdpr resulted in the making of whois data not generally available to anyone.
Ask HN: What makes a great tech talk?
I'm giving my first big tech talk at a conference in just a few weeks (at EmberConf). I'm confident in the topic and substance of the talk, but I'm less sure about everything else. Will I lose people if I start off too basic? Or is it worse to dive into the more technical stuff without laying the foundation first? How much should I talk about myself, if at all?

What are the hallmarks of an excellent, memorable talk?

That's true, but if a site is not ad-supported, and "paywall" is almost an epithet (and circumvented to boot), how is any site supposed to remain viable?

Here is what is wrong with it.

It will work fine 99% of the time. But when you get into trouble (and a single merge done badly may cause trouble) there is no way to recover it because you lost history. And trouble is often of the form, "A month of my work went poof and nobody noticed for weeks after."

Another pain point is that the Administrator becomes a bottleneck. And when the Administrator runs into a conflict they often have no context from which to sort it out.

But on the positive side, your history will be nice and linear. Which makes tools like git-bisect very, very happy.
Sounds like GitHub Flow. https://githubflow.github.io/

As others have stated, this works well when there aren't "releases" but once you have releases with versions and may have to backport things, it starts to breakdown. For how most web-based software is developed it seems to be a descent for.

> Wouldn't that be offset by the falling birth rate in the US?

So because the birth rate is lower in aggregate, people with three kids don't exist? Or that they should need less space somehow? I don't understand the relevance to either the post you replied to or even the article itself.

Seems like you're responding to a point nobody made, including yourself.

> They're cheaper than anywhere else in the world, and people feel safer in them. They're reasons, but not especially good ones.

Why did you even reply to a post when you're ignoring what it said? If you want to grandstanding about this topic, by all means reply to the thread as a whole. That's what top level replies are for.

Why reply to a specific post if you have no interest in discussing that post's content or ideas? Nothing you replied to even came close to being relevant, I'm not even sure you read the post you replied to.
Polluting the atmosphere, sure, but don't forget that their masses and geometries also put other road users in direct mortal danger to a degree that reasonably sized cars don't.

It's almost funny how so many large SUV and truck owners actively project the attitude their vehicular choices imply: "I don't give a shit about anybody but myself."
Hey.

As a father of 2 I know, it's very frustrating to trust any books, coaches in child development and especially content online.

We are in the Jewish community, most of the friends had many kids, and we could turn for advice. If I didn't have this, I don't know what I would do.

The hardest thing for me would be to trust you to connect me with an expert.

Good luck. It's a hard problem and if it works, you will save a lot of lives and parent's health :)
/msg Dave SCP-[REDACTED] is out again, can someone notify MTF-^$ to get on a disinformation campaign and cleanup?
the question is, if it works, does it matter what it is? Github is owned by Microsoft, after all... kind of makes sense that the two companies would share some skills... Microsoft are using Git for internal projects (Office and Windows both are built and stored in Git) and they built tools for making that easier... If github need a build system, Azure has it, and it supports a load of languages and options... just extend that and use that...
I have never met a government employee or contractor that believes that nationalizing ANY industry will result in increased efficiency. Anyone that has ever spent any time in the industry usually spends the first few months of their career trying to figure out of the organization can really be as inefficient as it seems.

Letting government run something _may_ result in a more egalitarian distribution of fairly shitty service (see USPS, VA Health Care, etc.) but it absolutely will not result in a more efficient system.
So there is a different piece that can be inspected for it's own vulnerabilities, that probably does not get as much scrutiny because the hardware isn't as popular.

That's not a criticism per se, I am sure it's hard to design these things securely and without bugs.
When we had twins (and a 4 year old at the time) we tried to make do with a smaller car. Putting them all in the same row was disastrous once the twins hit around 1 year old. We couldn't go a trip without at least one of our kids crying most of the way.

Now everyone is outside of hair pulling, biting, pinching, toy/book stealing, throwing, and spitting range.

I guess my kids are just animals. It certainly seems to work for some parents. Maybe it will work out better when they're older.
Don't forget coal-rolling.
So right now she is independent, but under UBI she has to beg her family? Is that what you call a success of UBI?

just to make the obvious explicit - I wish your product and yourself success and by no means suggest you're doing anything wrong or not well-intended.

btw, normative countries provide plenty of help and support, for free, to young first-time parents. This is probably the best investment a society could do, even in terms of purely financial ROI!
There are some new attempts at creating DNS roots that aren’t managed by centralized organizations. Handshake.org is aiming to create a distributed root of trust for the DNS root and it’s been getting traction in certain circles.
Great questions!

On the first, we're very cautious; we do not do diagnosis. What we do do is support parents in seeking out a diagnosis if that was the appropriate path. Our experts have all either done diagnosis or facilitated them in the past so they're good and knowing when to suggest that. The balance is in making sure we don't give parents a false confidence, but we find that the pairing of an expert with the family is much more effective than a parent wondering on their own.

On the second point, let me know if I misunderstood, but our goal is to give the right advice. We know that it won't always work and often that will be due to the unique nature of the specific family. Sometimes we will just get it wrong; we have a very rigorous selection process for the coaches and strong QA and ongoing support so we hopefully don't get it wrong very often. But we know we won't be perfect.

Adding an entirely new instance is not the only way to accomplish each of those things. A lot of those things can be treated just like applications. You don't need a whole new computer to run Outlook, another computer to run Sublime Text, another computer to run Chrome, etc etc.

All of that is irrelevant to my main point though. It's never one size fits all and then all your problems are solved.

You are far better off actually assessing your needs and picking the right solution instead of relying on solutions that "worked for bigger companies so they'll work for me" without really giving it a lot of thought if you need to go that far.
Yeah, it is kind of a non-sequitur. On the other hand you have to admit that I was responding to a rather amorphous comment. My intent was to merely given an example of where I draw the line between sane and insane.
The nice thing about a truck is that the trunk is outdoors. Hose it off, car wash.

It's kind of surprising Toyota doesnt have an outdoor edition of the 4runner thats basically the same thing but with a waterproof rubber back instead of carpet, and some kind of removable divider. Take the seats out and hose it down.
I'm self-taught when it comes to SQL so I'm probably doing stupid stuff, but I tend to use subqueries when I can.

So in your case I'd do

SELECT c.name
FROM customers c
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM orders o
WHERE c.id = o.customer_id
AND DATE_TRUNC('year', o.ts) = '2019-01-01'::timestamptz
HAVING SUM(o.price) < 100
)

Again, might be dumb, but I usually find it easier to think in terms of subqueries rather than joins. Not that I find joining hard per se, just feels more natural and to the point to use subqueries. Database I use also seems to optimize it better most of the time.
Congrats, really interesting!
> Also, Home Depot rents trucks/vans for $30 for 75 minutes; U-Haul is better if you need them for the whole day.

I had a good friend argue that this was too inconvenient. My response was that I believe the amount of effort put into affording a new truck far outweighs the inconvenience of filling out a form or two at home depot.

> I sometimes wish I had a small dumpy pickup so I could put bulk stuff in (and full 4x8 sheets), but mostly it's fine without.

Unfortunately even these are pretty sought after! I have a '94 Toyota Pickup(right before they rebranded them to the Tacoma) that I bought off of my father in law for pennies. In many places in the world these are cult trucks.

Ask HN: Microservice Architecture
I own a flower delivery company. We deliver flowers on demand to individuals at their homes or businesses out of our fleet of 16 branded (but aging) ford focuses; each making on average 15 deliveries a day. We have been reasonably successful, and I have been considering upgrading my delivery fleet. The vehicles are getting a bit old, are having some reliability problems; and I hear that more efficient options are available.

I want to become a successful delivery company, and I've been looking into how the most successful delivery companies lower their costs and increase profits. We are completely dismantling and rebuilding our delivery system to emulate what they are doing. I have purchased a GE AC44C6M. We're painting it with our company's logo now. It was quite an investment, but I am told that it is the most efficient means of transporting goods, and it's what the big boys are using. This 196 ton diesel locomotive with 4,400 horsepower can transport many hundreds of tons of flowers in a single trip; and the cost per mile for each bouquet of roses is significantly cheaper than what we were paying for before. We now have the capability to scale many orders of magnitude past what we were previously capable of.

On top of the vehicle, we hiring 35 various new specialists for operations (TrainOps), and of course 4,600 gallons of diesel fuel at a time.

If you'd like to make an early valentine's day order for a loved one; give us a call. We can deliver up to 800 tons of red roses to your loved one at any train depot in the United States.

This makes sense right?

so what you're saying is that without TEE, Netflix would shut down? come on. Netflix would clearly keep operating with or without DRM, all TEE does is make it harder for the user to access their legitimate (non-Netflix) content in anything but the most approved way. it entrenches mainstream operating systems and makes it harder to use FOSS. sure, I'll concede that Netflix is not the most damaging to user freedom, but that's not what OP is about. nobody would give a shit about this vulnerability if it was just Netflix, because Netflix is broken against hardcore attackers anyways. TEE proponents want to expand its use to more user-hostile applications. that's my concern.

hardware encryption is arguably a better use of TEE, but as far as I know, no actual implementations use SGX for that purpose. the TPM is used, but it's not fast enough for actual encryption. the OS loads the keys from the TPM and does the encryption in regular software.
What service would the HN folks recommend for someone who needs to run a few dozen different docker services that require persistent storage? It would be nice to just have a pool of compute resources tied to persistent storage and be able to spin up docker instances at will. K8's has been suggested as the correct solution but it sounds like a lot of overhead for services that require no scaling at all.

I wish the report broke out the family health benefits based on if the participant gained/lost work did/didn't go to school. (edit: Also provide a category for those that were too ill to work to begin with.) From the conclusion:

>As for the labour market participation of survey respondents, over half indicated working before and during the pilot (54%) while less than a quarter were unemployed before and during the pilot (24%). Slightly less than one-fifth were employed before but unemployed during the pilot (17%) and a smaller number reported not working before but finding work during the pilot (5%). Just under half of those who stopped working during the pilot returned to school to improve their future employability (40.6%).

>Those who were working both before and during the pilot reported improvements in their rate of pay (37%), working conditions (31%) and job security (27%). The entire survey sample reported other work-related improvements such as searching more easily for a job (61%),staying motivated to find better employment (79%) and starting school or an educational training program (26%).

Same here. Trunk based is easy to explain and enforce.

The only challenge we faced was maintaining patch releases. Folding in fixes for common issues which were found in newer releases sometimes involved more than just cherrypicking the fix into a patch release for an older version.

This inevitably led to asking users to update to more up-to-date versions. This further enforced the linear development paradigm.
Namecheap is responsible for administrating domain ownership. They are not free to unilaterally change or remove ownership at will.

An Open Call to the Universe for My Next Website Job
As others have said this study doesn't have enough data to be conclusive. So most people, including me, comment based on which of the following we believe in:

1. People are inherently lazy. UBI will encourage them to do less.
2. People are inherently interested in maximizing their potential. UBI will enable them to do more.

I couldn't find any social science research on which of the above is more true. But if we could tell maybe that can help us guess at how many UBI recipients will abuse the system as that seems to be the main concern around UBI.
