I partially blame keyword driven recruitment in tech for these kinds of responses to a platform/tooling. Kubernetes isn't a magic bullet - it is a platform which solves a very specific set of problems with scaling. And of course it doesn't come for free. You can't just throw in k8s into your existing infrastructure and expect your devs to manage it, in addition to their regular work.

And yet, we keep reading about teams falling into the trap because their lead engineer wanted to put "production kubernetes" on his resume. I hope the k8s team adds a huge "Who is this NOT for" disclaimer to their docs (if it doesn't already exist).
Herd immunity and r0 would be significantly different on a ship
I dropped midway through the post. It reads as a classic engineering justification for X vs A, B or C (the same justification can be made for anything vs anything).

I found it interesting that for someone that doesn't use Kubernetes they spend a lot of time describing it.

There are benefits in using mainstream solutions like Kubernetes. I've spent over a decade building distributed systems from Hadoop to Mesos and Kubernetes and have seen the pains of datacenter and AWS, Azure and GCP and all I can say is GKE works great so I don't buy the simpler in-house argument. Once you start properly integrating concerns that need to be end-2-end integrated, the complexity explodes and you end up with a partially working system.

I do believe that serverless will likely make Kubernetes and similar-level tech irrelevant for most users, however only part of a rich ecosystem that provides all other concerns.
The text of the contract is unambiguous. If you didn't like it, you shouldn't have signed it.
Show HN: Fair Remote – remote jobs need a fresh start
For us remote equals unique. We’re all wired differently and have various ways, times of the day, or tricks that make us do our best work. Putting everybody in a cubicle automatically means wiring people in a different way, whilst working remote means "here’s what we need, we don’t care how you do it, at what time of the day you do it, but we need a solution by date X".

A remote-first company should be built under the umbrella of productivity, freedom, flexibility, responsibility, and discipline.

We're tired of seeing "US Only", "UK Only", "In The Middle Of Nowhere Only" in a job description. True remote companies do know how to work in more than a single country.

What differentiates us from other job boards?

When we say remote, it really means remote.

We believe in fairness, care, and trust. We guide our lives by these values, so of course, they are the foundation of Fair Remote too.

For companies, we'll offer full refunds if you don't find the right candidate through our platform. We'll never check that in any way, we take your word for it because we build our service on trust.

You won't be able to boost your job post. No "Featured", highlight, or other strategies to make more money off of you. We'll charge a flat rate of $199 per job post for all businesses.

As an applicant, you'll find here fair remote opportunities that describe the interview process and include a salary range. So you'll be prepared and know what to expect from the company beforehand.

If you're willing to give us a shout on one of your social platforms or on your website, we'd highly appreciate it.

You can reach out to us via email: hi@fairremote.com

>Turing completeness, accidental or not, is a silly metric that doesn't say anything about a game.

You can literally crash the game so you never know if you've won or lost.
It is ridiculously competitive in the mobile app store market, because there is a lot of revenue out there. All of the apps source their streams from Broadcastify, and they license Broadcastify's API and content to do so. The apps are enormously popular, and the market generates hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in revenue.

I deal constantly with nefarious developers who often feel like Broadcastify has an obligation to grant them a license. We had a terrible dust up this weekend with a developer that was upset we wouldn't grant him a license to develop "yet another police scanner app" and he went on a warpath with me personally.

The app store environment is a major pain and exhausting...
Oh it’s super cool to see you in the wild! To clarify, I had a lot of qualifying thoughts running through my head when I said “kinda sucks” (hence the “kinda”!). :)

I actually think managing aurora configs is way easier than managing yml files, and I agree that I think aurora configs were ahead of the game: having access to python in your config feels like a super power. I feel like we’ll converge on something that compiles aurora configs into yml files, prior to runtime.

That being said, we’ve never been able to get good editor support for things like “go to definition”, with the whole “include” syntax. We have maybe 2-3k aurora config files, of which maybe 100 are shared boilerplate. Do you have any advice on this? I tell vim to treat them like python files, but pylint hates them :)

We were bummed by the PMC decision too. I think some people at my company have considered becoming maintainers over the years, but, for the most part, everything “just works”, so we haven’t felt a selfish need to, so to speak. I actually think it’s a kind of unintuitive credit to your project, that it doesn’t require a horde of maintainers. That being said, I’ll set aside some time this weekend to take a look at some issues. :)
There seem to be at least one case older than Wuhan. The new trend is just to consider the market has a spreading place, not precisely the source.
Pinned dependency X stops working in Node X+1. Upgrading dependency X to work on Node X+1 breaks code using dependency X. Sorting out the mess stops development and leads to cascading breakage.

So just say "fuck it" and wrap the project up on a Docker container running Node X. Now work can continue. Luckily the project is internal so missing security fixes is less of a problem than something customer facing.
> the hiring team has always led me to believe that the non-competes are a standard clause and are not likely to be enforced.

My policy is: "Hey, if you don't plan on enforcing it, let's remove it from the contract... oh, you're not allowed to remove it? I guess we're done talking then." Fortunately I live in CA where they're not legally enforceable anyway.

> On a separate note, anybody knows if Google would help with legal defense of Hall or ignore this as a private matter?

It's certainly in Google's best interest that the suit goes well for Hall, so I imagine Google's legal counsel would represent him. The only way I'd figure they wouldn't get involved is if doing so would make it more likely that there'd be a bad outcome for some reason.
Nice work, Jeff. The chapter on eggs was literally a life changer. Or a breakfast changer for sure.
The Abbott test mentioned above is blood drawn from serum (not a fingerprick blood test!).

This is not the nasal swab test that sometimes misses positive people, as you mentioned.

To avoid confusion over this issue: There is an Abbott nasal swab test, that gives results 15 minutes after being swabbed, and without "special equipment". That specific Abbott test (the instant nasal swab) has experienced dubious results in practice, even compared to more standard nasal swab tests.

You are demonstrably right, circa 2011. The example I like is Windows CardSpace[1] which most people reinventing this have never even heard of, which is typical silicon valley. CardSpace had its own problems, but these were surmountable if the market were there.

> That year, Chris Poole of 4Chan controversially said Facebook and Google had it wrong: "Google and Facebook would have you believe that you are a mirror, that there's one reflection that you have; one idea of self,"

I don't know about that. I mean, in that year, Jericho Forum was past the formative stage and was already pushing 'personas'. Google's beyondcorp was based on Jericho Forum principles so, while it doesn't take personas into account, it does have a first-class concept of the trust tier. In my mind, these are related concepts.

But that's internal enterprise-facing.

Externally, consumer-facing as well, Chris Poole was wrong; Google actually did embrace the faceted diamond idea of identity. G+ was launched 6 months before Poole made that statement. G+' primary feature was circles, which are a similar persona/diamond/faceted idea of identity. Not from the authentication POV, of course, but definitely from the identity POV. We all know how well G+ did. Not completely, but a large part of the failure was that people are only good at being a mirror. Circles was a disaster.

> Anyhow, a decade has passed and it feels like very little has happened with identity, the ability to control identity away from centralized structures.

Are you referring to authentication, or identity? Managing multiple identity facets is too burdensome and provides too low utility to most people, and there are exposure risks. The folks that are able and want to manage multiple personas can easily manage it via multiple accounts, can they not? I'd be surprised if people on 4chan use the same username that they do on facebook, for example. They want to keep those completely 100% separate (from observable activity), and are able to do so just fine, thank you very much, within existing centralized structures. I am not sure how a decentralized structure would present an advantage and moreso, an advantage that matters.

A critically important part of the market is market timing. General Magic failed but it wasn't because their product sucked (which it did). It's because the market wasn't ready. But today, we see their legacy everywhere.

So the question is, is the market ready now in 2020? I personally don't think so, but I don't think looking back at 2011 bolsters the argument. The world is very different today. For one thing, you can raise money on a blockchain-based product, regardless of its usefulness. ;) Let's not forget, the point of VC is not to have a successful product, it's to have a successful exit. Your product advice may not be relevant.
Talking about the few protest associates committing crimes while ignoring the police committing crimes and backing each other up while doing so shows that you are only invoking the law as a tool to harm those you disagree with.

Most of the rioting has been started by the police themselves, using this nonsensical wedge of a "curfew" to justify opening fire on peaceful crowds. When crowds are attacked by marching lines of thugs, it's no surprise that they will attempt to defend themselves, creating mayhem.
I must be a dedicated one since I actually read the paper, jeez.

More likely that it works great until the lead developer leaves.

And then you're stuck with a proprietary solution that lags further and further behind established, open source projects.
Yes, if you're talking about reliance on your fellow player, nothing I've ever played beats Eve. What goes on behind the scenes of a large corp is similar to a real world company or even government, including custom software to help manage it all.

Also has DJ Qualls as Rat, one of the dumbest computer hacker stereotypes to ever be committed to film. After the FBI knocks to raid his apartment, he rushes into his computer room and starts microwaving CDs and shoving floppies down the garbage disposal... then once they have him, they tell him they need him to control the information on the entire Internet. He says yes, but only on the condition that he's given "an unlimited supply of Xena tapes and Hot Pockets." Quality stuff.

Mesos was great. It was a much cleaner, flexible separation of concerns. Too bad Mesosphere killed it.
I feel like every year an analyst says Apple should buy something:

- Apple should by netflix and get into the streaming game(considering how much appleTV stinks this may be a good idea!)

- Apple should buy Disney, there is the synergy of two trusted brands in the entertainment/media space(Steve Jobs did own Pixar which Disney now owns)

- Apple should buy twitter, they can expand their news and reach a large connected audience.

Things I think Apple should do:

Buy a large email provider, they had a yearly $100 a year email subscription service but that was a flop, make it free and make it iOS exclusive(as an alternative to gmail).

Buy Spotify, given they have iTunes getting spotify would make sense, perhaps antitrust issues with this one.
I doubt that would have helped, given that he signed the agreement while a resident of a jurisdiction where it was valid.

Regardless, I wouldn't uproot myself (and my family, if I had one) for something like this.

Non-competes are an abomination and need to go, everywhere. The only alternative I'd accept is what's done in the finance world: you basically get a paid vacation for the term of your non-compete.
Financial market is regulated and hence you dont that conflict of interest. They are also there to prevent anything catastrophic from happening. Selling Commodities in Retail isn't the same.
In tech circles it's pretty highly regarded. When learning programming, understand the stack comes very easily to MtG players since card players are resolved in a stack. Most highly competitive MtG players also come from math or other quantitative reasoning backgrounds.
I'm not sure about that. Hosting companies like Dreamhost, GoDaddy, Squarespace, etc. have "consumerized" the process of registering domains so that it's little harder than signing up for Facebook. The bigger barrier is probably that domains are not free.
It's funny that in the name of political correctness things like this happens

it's funny because the culture that created the computer science revolution is worth preserving, coming from the alternative side of our recent history

They were people who loved and often invented or participated to science fiction, fantasy, building alternative words, framers and utopians, but also people who dressed and acted weird, outcasts, minorities, that we think today should be protected and included, they became know as "nerds" as an insult and now it has become cool being one, even though nobody who call themselves nerd is really a nerd, in the original meaning, as in "an eccentric human being with a very strong lateral thinking side"

So we have daemons, dependencies, zombies, commands, kills, super users, penetrations, abuses, firewalls, agents, webs, spiders, dragons, bitten apples, wizards, catastrophic errors, crashes, instructions (aka orders, you have to follow them to the letter or you'll fail, yes we also have failures) and most of all bugs...

But! we can't have a rubocop...
The article is about severe social isolation, meaning you don't interact with another person in any way.

> the researchers had 40 socially-connected healthy human adults spend 10 hours (9am to 7pm) alone, with no social interaction and no other social stimulation (e.g., twitter, email, reading fiction).

I'm not even sure what I could do during the day to avoid social interactions to this extent.
Free web tool calculates optimal manufacturing processes and materials

Think of kubernetes as a cluster operating system. Instead of dealing with vms, you deal with your applications directly, without worrying about where they're running. It gives you a unified view and ability to manage a distributed system at the level of the application components.

Ansible can't give you anything like that. Even if you use Ansible to automate something like network setup, the commands and modules you use will be different between e.g. cloud providers. Kubernetes give you a consistent abstraction layer that's almost unchanged across providers, with the exception of annotations that are needed in some cases for integration with certain provider services.
Yes, all needs in the hierarchy are basic and necessary!
These things have been around long enough that there are people now making decisions at a high enough level who also played these. So it's probably not as bad as it was 10-20 years ago?

If you're applying to stuffy places where the people aren't known to be into deep/complicated games, you might get rejected if you don't have something else. It depends if you want to apply to stuffy places because you need any job ASAP.

If you're doing okay and want to select businesses that like hobbies on resumes, go for it.
Like for many people here, my need for socialization seems to be vastly inferior to the average. However, after years of living very isolated, I can strongly relate to the craving as it's described in this article.
This isn't politics, it is feelings. The word black is a label, which has a history of being used as a racist term. So it is understandable that there may be some ill will about it. Understandable, but not necessarily warranted.

Now the word "cop" is a label we associate with a job, it has been around for decades, it isn't derogative (unless you as a police officer are offended by it). What we have here, is people being offended by what has happened, not by the adjective of the job.
I learned much with MtG.

Problem with such games is that they are "winner takes it all" and in "real life" a win with "one life point" usually isn't worth it.
when i publish my research it definitely helped when my prof is a co-author. He did help a lot though, but I know many who would just attach their names to thing.
18.2 / 25.3 ain’t bad. Sales and marketing at 19.2 seems a bit high, but I guess they’re doubling down on growth, and it implies they have a long runway. The administrative costs is the one that you’ll want to see grow logarithmically, as 25.3 goes up, and it’s not unbelievable that it will.
Hmm I guess this a there's a lot to say about this. I'll just say two things. One, that most people (including maybe you) are more messed up than they think from childhood. Secondly, (and this is an even bigger issue) there's really no reason to worry about left-wing ideology putting you at a disadvantage socially. The left wouldn't be adopting these more "progressive" identities if they weren't socially advantageous within the social circles of the most powerful people in our society. It's true that being "soft" can be a disadvantage in a small rural area, but this will never be the case again among the American elite. You have to justify your dominance of the peasants somehow, and one way they do it is proving that they are more "evolved" than others.

In order to stop paying a third-party for search results, Apple should buy a company that mostly pays third parties for search results?

> Apple could likely buy it for under $1 billion

> a deal would be fairly easy to digest given DuckDuckGo’s small size, with fewer than 100 employees.

Exactly what kind of tech does this author think DDG has that Apple couldn't build better than DDG with 1,000 employees making a $500,000 salary for 2 years?

I love DDG, but I don't think this person really knows what it is.
It’s not just the average that’s low. It’s the median as well. There’s an incredible long tail of skill with JS and the related ecosystem.
> Choose your advisor, not your area of focus.

Absolutely this.

Worked on my master's dissertation with my initial supervisor. He went off to try and find funding for a year or two to get me to come back for PhD.

Turned up, he passed me an ACM magazine article and asked me to have a look and see if anything stuck. Got hooked. He knows I like weird and trippy stuff ;)

I'm in a bit of rubbish situation as he left his position here for greener pastures. Totally fair decision on his part from what I've gathered of the back story

Now supervised by someone else and it's just not the same. Have to go over old ground quite often.

So yeah, choose your supervisor wisely. If they "get you" then they'll get what you're interested in. Then they'll be able to work with you find an interesting area to study.

> It does. Then public knows that their elected leaders may send themselves and/or their family/relatives/friends. Warmongering suddenly is much more touchy-feely when you got skin in the game.

Again, it didn't work that way during the Vietnam war. Maybe it will next time, we'll see.

> And government was democratically elected, wasn't it?

Technically it was. In practice, Johnson wasn't elected and the high-ranking officials including the president maintained the war on back burner, burning through American and Vietnamese lives, to keep up with their dubious agenda. The war effort was a lie and massively opposed by the public.
It could be, but apple maps and its 1B dollar update may prove otherwise, I feel like this was one update that really was worth it for Apple, the new maps update is excellent and I no longer use google maps. Siri on the other hand...
As I said, we already have technology to colonise space. Not to spread throughout the galaxy, no, but at least to get to multiple places in our solar system. At that point the feasibility of a single event like a genetic accident always occurring and always wiping out the entirety of every species seems unlikely.

Not impossible, of course, but my argument wasn't about possibility vs impossibility, but probability.
I finally figured out how to keep a supermarket basil plant alive, how to promote new growth and slow down flowering.

And I've also succeeded at rooting and planting it - so now I have 5 supermarket basil plants!

It's really gratifying - but my windowsill definitely won't be enough to grow the amount of herbs I'd like to consume. Perhaps I'll have to take my new knowledge to the back yard.
That definitely helps, at least for short term compromise of TLS servers.
