We do visual GPU graph tech close to core national lab missions (sec, fraud, misinfo, genetics, social, ...) so are in a similar boat.

While I love the folks doing related work at PNNL (and am inspired!), I also recognize, done wrong, we can be existentially threatening to internal groups building related things.

Instead of aggressively persuing contracts and spending effort getting into nasty politics, we let the users come to us: we are there when the internal tools groups rather do other stuff vs do the multi-year investment. We are now focusing a lot more on enabling researchers to find and try us on public cloud / the web -- this road takes literally years longer for reaching those teams, but these are government labs, so that's the default assumption to begin with. (Likewise, not the cornerstone of our revenue.) Years later, folks are starting to write RFPs using us.

As a scientist, I love the community, and respect that we should assist it appropriately.

> One obvious example is that EC2 has "scheduled maintenance events" where they force you to reboot your box. This would cost us a lot of money (mostly in dev time, to work around it).

It's interesting that you say this, because I think this just boils down to how you treat failures. Boxes will fail. It's inevitable, even if you run your own hardware.

We treat failure as an every-day event and have set up our systems so it doesn't matter. One box fails, an automated system notices and brings up another to replace it, while the remaining boxes take slightly more load for a few minutes.

Sure, that kind of failure tolerance doesn't come for free. But, again, you're going to have failures, no matter how much work you put into reliability (which also doesn't come for free!).
While in principle that makes sense, I think in reality it wouldn’t work.

First, rural counties are not prepared to run their own immigration systems. That kind of work is centralized for several good reasons.

Second, they’d still have to compete with richer counties, who would also love to reduce their health care costs. The price overall might drop a bit, but ultimately I think more urbanized counties would tend to win out over rural counties in such a system.

GDPR is about the collection of people's personal data, regardless of the mechanism you use to do it.

There are plenty of ways to collect data about people without using cookies to do it, so GDPR would still be needed no matter what measures browsers took to block tracking cookies.
The highlighted new features for version 2.0 are: 1) Support for heterogeneous dimensions in sparse arrays (that is, full dataframes), 2) Support for string dimensions in sparse arrays, 3) Google Cloud Storage and Azure Blob Storage support, and 4) Completely revamped R API.

They write: "These features mark an important step in our journey to deliver a universal data storage engine for all applications and data science tools."
my 2cents: the 'big' clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) and the big-brand clouds (Oracle, IBM, etc.) are attractive for BigCustomerCo because:

1. Replace capital expenditure of in-house infrastructure + staff with OpEx that can be dialled down

2. Get to benefit from the economies of scale that the cloud vendors get (those Intel CPUs get a lot cheaper when purchased in the 1000s)

3. Get to leverage big shiny new tech like Big Data and AI that's 'advertised' as 'out-of-the-box'

My only concern really is that the big cloud players are all fighting for dominance and market share. What happens in the next 5-10 years time when they start raising prices? Different kind of lock-in - customers won't have the expertise in-house to migrate stuff back.
There is a standard for this: Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF):

One important distinction that often gets lost in these conversations is the difference between "linking" and "de-anonymization". In general, the bigger players in the analytics space are extremely careful about avoiding any risk of de-anonymization both contractually and in process. Salted hashes and minimum base sizes to report out are the norm. Some funkier approaches seem to be in R&D. There are of course bad players in the fringes but the big players have largely cleaned up their act.

New Zealand’s “Bubble Concept” Is Slowly Letting People Socialize Again
The way I see it is, a rural economy has to be propped up by at least one "export" of some kind. This usually isn't informational; the information economy gravitates toward urban centers. Whether or not the information economy has to stay in urban centers is unclear, but it seems to be the case right now.

Traditionally that export has been mining, manufacturing, and/or farming. Things that require lots of cheap space and labor and not much else. The first two have taken deep dives in the past few decades. This makes rural life, in many places, simply uneconomical. Without something bringing money into the town, people don't have money to spend on local services. Healthcare is an expensive local service. If we leave it up to the market, the answer is often simply "don't live in a rural area". I'm not saying we should just leave it up to the market, though many would, but I think these are the base facts.

Edit: I hadn't actually read the article yet and I hope the above doesn't come off as insensitive in relation to the OP's tone. But I still think it's the truth. Rural America right now is the most broken part of our country's broken system. Something fundamental has to change.

My SO’s brother works in the studio video recording industry, and is a very IT-savvy guy. We had a long discussion last holiday season about the state of cloud adoption in that industry. He told me (this is obviously secondhand) that most of the movie industry is not only off the cloud, but exclusively working in the realm of colocating humans and data (footage).

This is for many reasons. The one that comes back to me now is that the file sizes are HUGE, because resolution is very high, so bandwidth is a major concern. Editors and colorists need rapid feedback on their work, which demands beefy workstations connected directly with high bandwidth connections to the source files. Doing something like this over a long distance network (even if the storage was free) would be prohibitively expensive, and sometimes literally impossible.

So the write loads are basically the antithesis of what cloud optimized for: “random sequential reads of typical short length, big append only writes”. The big production houses (lucasarts famously) are also incredibly secretive about their source material, and like to use physical access as a proxy for digital access.

It leads to some seemingly strange (to me as a cloud SWE guy) decisions. He pretty much exclusively purchases top of the line equipment (hard drives/ssds), and keeps minimal if any backups for most projects because there simply isn’t any room. It’s a recipe for disastrous data loss, and apparently it’s something that happens quite often to this day. It’s just extremely prohibitively expensive to do version control for movie development.

I don’t know to what extent cloud technologies can solve for this domain. I asked him if Netflix was innovating in this area, since they’re so famously invested in AWS, but he said that they mostly contracted out the production stuff, and only managed the distribution, which makes sense. The contractors don’t touch the cloud at all, for the most part.

Again most of this is secondhand, I’d be curious to hear more details or reports from other people in the movie industry.
Ask HN: Favorite programming language with lesser need of documentation
For example, there are lots of methods in Java while working on a larger project. You may be dependent on the IDE for code hints, completions, etc.

Relatedly, I was struck by philosopher Bernard Longergan's concept of one's horizon.

He distinguished three classes of questions:

- The questions one can raise and answer satisfactorialy
- The questions one can raise, but can not yet answer
- The questions one is not even able to raise

One's intellectual horizon sits between the second and third categories. You can only think of humanity's horizon in this same sense.

Synergy Sports Technology | REMOTE (European time zone) | Full Time | https://www.synergysportstech.com/

We're a fully remote team building the next-gen Sports video analytics platform for professional teams. Our clients are pro scouting and coaching teams in the NBA, FIBA and MLB.

The platform is massive (currently 10 petabytes) and we're scaling rapidly, so imagine our scalability challenges require top engineering teams to solve them. The company is 250 people globally which is large enough to work on a massive scale platform but at the same time, small enough so that engineers have a massive impact in their day to day jobs.

Our Engineers work in a variety of projects including:

• Creating internal and external APIs to support both data and video
• Building complex data models supporting the business rules of sports
• Developing algorithms that ingesting and transforming multiple streams of data and collapsing the data into a single event structure
• Scaling out current systems to support new sports
• Building build and test automation systems
• Building complex reporting data structures for analytical systems

We’re looking for someone with really strong experience in C#, .Net Core and NoSQL database (MongoDB Preferred) that can help us build the sports platform of the future. The team always look for very experienced people who's not only very proficient with C# but can also have experience architecting systems.

Have a look at the job description here https://apply.workable.com/synergysports/j/9C8F6BC28F/ and apply if you are interested.

Note: Please, mention on the application form that you've seen this post on HN.
There are also times when the available bandwidth is limited, so just having to use fewer keystrokes to edit a file speeds up the process. I was able to connect to remote linux servers over dial-up and edit files on those servers with vim without issue. Editing and saving over ssh was more of a hassle since it took longer to save the file (and I save pretty often).
I wouldn't even think of this as being shady. If you're a firm based in a country where it's politically/legally ok to work with people in North Korea, and someone (from a country where it isn't) employs you to do some work, and doesn't contractually require you to do the work yourself, and you know you can get someone else to do it for much cheaper, but still meet all the requirements... why wouldn't you do that? It's not shady at all; it's just... smart. The client is getting the product for the agreed-upon price. They're effectively paying for your ability to work with people that they can't work with.

Yes. I wonder about Second Life, which is doing a "cloud uplift" to AWS. The parts of the system that are variable-load and web-like are already on AWS. But the region servers (one CPU for each 256m^2) are owned outright, and in a colo in Phoenix. They're obsolete machines. But they are compute bound, with a constant load 24/7. Even when no user is in a region, the simulated world continues to run. Uses a bit less CPU, but the physics engine is still doing 45 cycles every second, and all scripted objects are still running. Leaves fall from the trees, plants grow, animals graze, trains run, whether or not any human is watching.

They think AWS will be cheaper. I hope they are right, but have doubts. Fortunately, they're doing this slowly and carefully, and if it turns out that AWS is too expensive, they should be able to move back or to elsewhere. Since what they're doing isn't even close to what AWS normally does, they're not that tied to AWS features.

Facebook is not a university, so there's no technical need for an IRB but I'd be curious what, if any, review process was done to approve this research?

I understand that posts I made are in public, but I feel uneasy about a for profit company I am not a user of scanning, archiving, and using posts I made in public to aid their business, especially if they have a huge corpus of data from people who opted into the product.

(Also I am using a throwaway for privacy, but I will proactively note I do not have any stock in, nor am I an employeee of, any Facebook competitors. But I fully admit I deleted my Facebook, and I did so because I did not feel like my data was being treated respectfully by the company.)

I don't have a name for this. A person can make a statement "X", and X can be true, but the person's act of claiming "X" was in no sense caused by "X" being true. In my head I call this "causal disconnection" or similar phrases, but it's not a good name.

The underlying idea here is that, when you are told "X", it's useful to think about the causal chain that resulted in you being told "X". Is the truth of X a powerful force in that chain? Is it one of many competing forces? Or is it, perhaps, totally irrelevant? In some sense this is a Bayesian viewpoint on the question "suppose somebody makes a claim -- how much should you update your probability that that claim is true?"

Politics obviously abounds with this, but a good non-political example is pop-sci rumors. For instance, I often hear the claim that cicadas sleep for prime-numbered years because that minimizes the probability of overlapping/conflicting/getting-caught-by other species (explanations vary). Now, without making much effort to evaluate the truth of this statement, think about what causes people to make this claim. Well, clearly, it sounds very good, so it'll spread quickly (as a meme). Now, what if the claim was false -- how much would that fact impede its spread? Probably not so much.

(Somewhat remarkably, this suggests a concrete reason to be wary of oft-repeated claims. The fact that a claim is often repeated suggests that it spreads quickly. The reason you're hearing the claim, then, may be because it spreads quickly, and not so much because it's true.)

It's really important that the truth or falsehood of the claim has nothing to do with the question of the nature of the causal chain underlying the claim.

A related idea is that one must have great respect for -- and fear of -- social processes. I'm far from fully appreciating the consequences of this. This is also related to another comment in this thread about evolutionary processes, because those are often the causal forces behind people making claims.

One of the best resources I found was the Small Business Administration (SBA). I learned a lot from just reading through all their online resources (https://www.sba.gov/business-guide). I'm pretty sure a similar organization exists wherever you are, just search for 'small business administration' + your location.

I think if you want more hands-on learning, you should schedule an appointment with an experienced business advisor. The small business org will do their best to find a relevant expert to advise you. I did one of these and I got matched with an Entrepreneurship lecturer from USC where I was able to pick up a ton of insight on marketing and running/starting up a business in general. I feel that this was valuable information that would've taken a lot longer to find or learn if it was on my own. I highly recommend this and the best thing is it was completely free. Make sure to take lots of notes and ask questions specific to your situation. You can schedule follow-up appointments as you reach milestones in your marketing plan as well. There are also some marketing workshops but some of those have fees so watch out for that. I was surprised but there is no "catch", it's just a taxpayer supported organization for supporting small businesses.

In UK terminology, "Asian" includes people from India and the rest of South Asia. South Asians are probably the majority of "Asians" in the UK study.

In the US, South Asians are usually grouped separately from East Asians. In any case the US study refers specifically to Chinese.

(All these labels are only very loosely related to genetics.)

So the results of both studies are consistent with risk levels: Chinese < European < South Asian.
After a big cloud-first initiative, several managers left; leaving implantation to Linux sysadmins now in charge of cloud. Treated cloud as some colo facility, dump all apps in one big project/account, cloud costs spun quickly out-of-control and lots of problems with apps not being segregated from each other. Cloud declared 'too expensive' and 'too insecure', things migrated back on-prem, team now actively seeks to build and staff colo facilities with less than 10ms latency somewhere outside coastal California (Reno, Vegas, PHX) which just isn't gonna happen because physics.
