I'm not saying that you have to be cool and smart to vote. Just ask them how much percent a candidate is going to increase/decrease <xyz> in their program to be sure that a voter is able to at least read and understand the damn booklet before putting their [V] into the bin.

But a problem that you described could be addressed by counting invalid votes as 0.5 instead of 0. That would be fair — you didn't care to inform your decision, so it doesn't count as much as one's who did.
Sadly, I have to deal with idiotic software, so where does that leave me?
I was on my phone so I wasn't commenting at my best. So to be clear, I liked and appreciated your article! The more view points I can read on these topics, the better it is, because there's no one right answer (as I'm sure you've found).
That really has nothing to do with the quality of the connection (what kind of bandwidth/ping and availability).

It's people misbehaving that causes these types of ban and who are voting for pro-censorship government. They could remove these restrictions overnight if they wanted to.
Texas Monthly has been doing this for a long time. I personally like saving them for when I have a little downtime as they are usually very well done.
I'm guessing that a consequence of a small claims case (maybe even a chargeback?) would be being permanently blacklisted by Amazon across name, address, and other identifiers — like what happened to the Kindle owner in the first place.
I expected downvotes with my comment because it is counter to what most people believe and the exact opposite message that the news gives. People heavily invested in politics will write off what I said immediately without really considering it.
I'd go a step further and say that MMT is about borrowing for structural deficits. There's nothing MMT about Keynesian stimulus in 2008 or 2020; where things went off the rails was governments running large deficits during the boom years of 2015-2019 (when they should instead have been saving for 2020).
Why wouldn't we? They've used legal loopholes to dodge taxes, and the result of that is a lot of 'cash on hand'...
Disclaimer: I work at Red Hat with OpenShift

This is something I think OpenShift really adds value over "raw Kubernetes." With OpenShift you can treat it a bit like a flexible Heroku with `oc new-app` which can use s2i or your provided Dockerfile and will generate the foundation of what you need. You can then iterate on it if you need something beyond the standard setup.

By the way OKD 4 (the freely available upstream version of OpenShift) is now generally available: https://www.openshift.com/blog/okd4-is-now-generally-availab...
I stongly encourage anyone who uses a kindle for reading ebooks to back up their library via Calibre. If Amazon tried this rediculousness theres still a way to get all your content back via plugins that can convert them to plain epub. Unethical? Not if they steal from you first.
Crusade is not an offensive term.
Yes, surveys are low quality. But personally I find that if they're well designed then you'll get more data out of them than you would a sign-up page. And there are always plenty of people out there who are happy to do an anonymous survey, but not give you their email address. Sometimes that's the best data. You would miss that with asign-up page.
There's an essential link between freedom, creativity, and innovation. Is it any wonder that as we've become an increasingly stifled society on an intellectual level that we've fallen further and further behind technologically?
Disagree. From TFA:

“... in 2016, the Texas Tribune and ProPublica published “Hell or High Water,” a data-rich project unpacking how a hurricane directly hitting the Ship Channel would kill thousands and devastate the economy. The project relies heavily on data from Hurricane Ike, the 2008 category 2 storm that narrowly missed the channel but still managed to kill 74 and cause $30 billion in damage. A direct hit, the project concluded, would shutter at least ten major refineries, spiking gasoline and consumer goods prices while crippling the U.S. economy.”

Pro Publica does great work. Here’s the link mentioned:

"The risk of cancer and associated mortality increases substantially in humans from the age of 65 years onwards.
...

For decades, this link has largely been attributed to increased exposure time to mutagens in older individuals. However, this view does not account for the established role of diet, exercise and small molecules that target the pace of metabolic ageing.

Here we show that metabolic alterations that occur with age can produce a systemic environment that favours the progression and aggressiveness of tumours."
Samsung has just as many ties with the US as TSMC. Both companies use semiconductor manufacturing equipment from US firms like Applied Materials and KLA. The reinterpretation of US export controls that bars TSMC from selling to Huawei extends from not just barring companies from selling products to China with US technology inside, but also barring companies from using US technology to manufacture Chinese-designed products that are then sold to China. This applies to Samsung just as much as TSMC.

TSMC isn't real bottleneck here. It's US semiconductor manufacturing equipment firms fully under US jurisdiction that underpin the supply chain for any modern fab.
There is some pretty consequential conflation of the difference between "public" and "private" above. I don't have to make my house wheelchair accessible because it's my house. And I'm not violating anyone's human rights by foregoing the above (and neither are you).

Similarly, I'm confused by your example of an employer moving essential services to non-accessible software because your are not blaming Dreebly Chat for making non-accessible software, rather, the employer for choosing to move to a platform that discriminates against its employees. You seem to understand where the blame lies... and it doesn't support your premise.

My critique is certainly levied against legislation, not "other political action". In your haste to make a counter-argument you may have forgotten what you are arguing against.

I just bought as well. Closed in the past month. 2.875% on a 30-year fixed jumbo with no prepayment penalty.

It’s our first home. We were planning on waiting for things to bottom out at 12-24 months after the start of the recession and were passively looking. The perfect home came on the market. Super unique. Unlikely to find another one like it. It’s the kind of home that retains value and sells fast due to uniqueness. It was only on the market for less than a week.

It’s in Seattle. Massive windows with view of Lake Washington and Rainier and so much privatcy that I can walk around anywhere in the house naked without pulling any blinds.

Whether the pandemic rages on and we’re stuck at home or everything springs back to life in downtown Seattle, my partner and I are going to be very comfortable and we have room to start a family or take in my aging father or her nephew once he’s old enough to move out.

The calculus for waiting was lowering housing prices but you also need to factor that your rent will be buying your landlord’s home during that time. Two years worth of rent for us was going to be over $120k. If we lose $100k worth of value by buying ~1.5 years early, it’s a wash.
We wouldn’t get to see the total eclipse—that dramatic upheaval of the afternoon’s forward march, an ebb when there should be flow.

This is spot on, housing prices around this area have increased in some cases to insane levels but they were increasing already pre-pandemic.

Overall, with a lot of research and searching, I found a good buy under a very special set of circumstances (at least I hope--there could be hidden issues but I've been very thorough). Some other homes have inflated to ridiculous price points around the area (as if they weren't already incredibly high).

It's always a balance looking at interest rates and price, so you have to be careful. Also, there's nothing saying the pandemic won't completely gut the economy and housing market in this area for years to come or even indefinitely. It's possible rates could drop lower. I'm currently betting that in the long 30 year run, it won't, for a variety of other situational reasons. YMMV.

But a country’s policy is decided by the citizens, if you live in a democracy.

Facebook’s policy is decided by its CEO and few others. Citizens/users have no saying.

There’s a big danger in shifting most of the public discourse to private platforms. We already have many example, YouTube banning anti-Erdogan keywords is just the first popping to my mind.
I’m curious, where did you encounter them?
Equipment, some low profile stuff like coaters, wafer preparation, and cleaning. Packaging equipment, and consumables. Some AMHS. Gas, and chemical handling equipment. Some resist makers.

Clean room material markers, few makers of vacuum grade plastics, FOUP, film, and other carriers.

Android phones come with multiple stores, you can side load apps and you could launch your own store any time you like. You could launch a new phone without the Google Play store, such phones exist anyway though.

The plain fact is that isn't what the vast majority of customers want. They have time and again showed that what they want is one place where they can all get their apps, and that will also be on their next phone. Google didn't decide that for them, nor did Samsung which has it's own store on it's phones. It's what customers want and have chosen, whether you like that or not.

Yes Google used unsavoury practices, they ran afoul of the EU and were fined Billions, but that's a footnote. We'd be where we are anyway, and stoping those anticompetitive practices hasn't slowed down the consolidation because this is driven by user preference.
I strongly disagree. One of the primary* values of Kubernetes is that it commoditizes ops. Most companies are not special. Most applications are not special.

You probably need some APIs, a database or two, domain names and TLS certificates, and maybe a caching layer and object storage. There's zero reason why an abstraction layer can't be flexible enough to handle the overwhelming majority of line-of-business apps out there.

If you're going to be home-rolling your own janky custom deploy solution, you might as well save yourselves the headaches and not bother using Kubernetes either.

* - I might argue the only real value for most non-Google-scale organisations.

It's not so much that ubiquitous telemetry can't identify this, it's whether it's better for this than a focus group. You can have background telemetry with the focus group so you're not just giving customers what they say they want instead of what they need.

Solution Architect here. Here are a few things you should take into account:

- You need obviously to know your stuff inside out, especially the technical side of things.

- the split between tech knowledge and business knowledge will depend on the SE position/vertical and company, but do expect at least a 50% / 50%.

- You need to develop you business skills. This doesn't include only finance/accounting jargons, but also soft skills such as presenting, talking, listening, dealing with angry customers, dealing with C-suite..etc.

- Depending on the job specs, you will spend your time doing the following:
- Presentations
- PoC
- Demos
- Design and proposal documents
- Costing for the solution and putting a business case together (I do this in my current role, but it's rare that you'd need to do it)
- responding to RFP/RFI
- Working together with the sales team to land new accounts, or penetrate existing accounts.
- Working with delivery team to estimate project costs or design feedback.

Some rookie mistakes when beginning as an SE:

- DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT talk about a solution before you listened to the customer, understood their pain points and let them speak. Unless they ask a specific question, try to ask questions and then just listen to them.

- Talk slowly and with confidence. Know who your audiance is. If they are business people, prepare yourself and talk about ROI and how the solution will help them reduce cost, increase sale or make things easier. Do not talk technical stuff if your audiance doesn't understand it. Your audiance will mostly not care about frameworks, programing language, or the latest and greatest AWS service. You need to fight the urge to talk like a nerd, unless ofcourse the situation requires it.

- Have a call/meeting with the area sales manager before you go see or talk to the customer. This is crucial for SE's. Some, and I say some Sales AM are only interested in their quarter numbers and will try to sell anything to the customer, even if the solution is not fit for purpose. Its your job to make sure the solution you are selling fits the customers requirements

I'm writing a guide for SE at the moment and might post it here. But for books I would suggest: Mastering the technical sales by John Care. Its nothing groundbreaking but its a good read.

I'm an introvert and actually enjoy working as an SE, but it's not for everyone. If you don't like dealing with customers and meetings, demos, writing a lot of documents then it's probably not for you.

The pay is generally quite good depending on the vertical/company.
For those who don't know, Jane Street is one of the best performing algorithmic trading firms on Wall Street. Probably the largest Ocaml shop on earth.

It's a lucrative job for strong programming talent. Engineers there routinely make well over $1mm/year (edit: after a few years).

They are similar to Two Sigma in tech focus and talent, which is a more well-known firm.
which at first sight looks like function calls to me

This is at least consistent. Let's try to think of numbers as functions. Then dots or juxtaposition must mean function composition, right? Then, f(x)=f⋅x is consistent with arithmetic as we know it and this dual interpretation of dots. I suspect that it's also the only such consistent mapping from numbers to functions, but couldn't prove this right away.

An eclipse is such an amazing phenomenon. The last time it happened I had my mind blown by a simple realization:

There is no physical reason why the moon fits precisely within the diameter of the sun.

It just so happens that on our little planet with sentient life, in which human life is present for only an incredibly small window, the time in which we are present and looking to the skies is when the diameter and distances of the sun and moon align so perfectly as to fit one within the other.

They have collected large amounts of data from pretty much day one on those devices.

Back when they had a cell phone in them. I was standing behind a guy who was supporting it. "Uh lets bring up where you are at? It says you are 10 miles off the coast of miami?...." "oh yeah I am calling from my yacht" "do you see any cell towers?" "no" "It kinda needs those to work. I am surprised I got the location data."
Thanks for the link. It's worth noting that it was restored without apology or any explanation whatsoever.

No sane app development business would do this when half of their potential customers are on an iPhone.

> It can refer to sorting by the number of "good cores" you get, but it has usually meant sorting by speed grade or other characteristics.

There are multiple "bins" between "good core" and "failed core". The first one runs flawlessly at the nominal speed while the second one can't run within the envelope defined. There are cores that can run overclocked, cores that will fail above a certain frequency, and cores that are so broken they won't work on any clock.

That's why, for instance, some Cell processors left the factory with 6 SPUs and Sun's first Niagaras had SKUs with only a small number of cores.

Many commentators have blamed climate change for the fires because it is fashionable, especially on the left, to do so. The reality is that the very small change in temperatures produced by climate change isn't sufficient to produce a change in the rate of fires. We'll have to wait a long time for climate change to produce such effects, if it ever does. I would lay the blame more on our society's technological stagnation in terms of its inability to come up with better technologies than those that have existed since the 1950s to fit fires. We haven't buried our power lines, we don't have strategically positioned water storage systems, we don't have huge drones specifically for firefighting that could dump more water on the fires than an ordinary helicopter could.

I'd say this article barely meets HN's standards of something that garners intellectual interest and is more the type of thing I'd expect to see on Reddit alongside cat videos. And then of course there is the environmentalist bent that the redwoods of at most sentimental value were the important thing that burned down, rather than things of material value to people. I wonder if anyone ended up homeless as a result of the fires.

According to the theory of radical skepticism it is very tough to put a probability bound on supposedly low probability disasters like fires, and so we must be prepared for them.

I think you gave a good reason why passive voice is preferred in some situations.

To me (I am not a native speaker), the default emphasis is on the first words:

The police stopped the riot. -> emphasis on the police

The riot was stopped by the police. -> emphasis on the riot

It coincides with the examples in which passive voice is recommended.

> To make something less hostile - 'this bill has not been paid' (passive) is softer than 'you have not paid this bill' (active).

> To avoid taking the blame - 'a mistake was made' (passive) rather than 'we made a mistake' (active).

...

Yes, I agree that we often overuse passive voice, and active voice is a good default. However, I think that the rule of thumb should be "write in the natural order", rather than "don't use passive voice unless strictly necessary".

Most of the discussion today is buried under "reactions". People just state their shallow opinion and fight over them. I hope new more coherent way of discussion emerges again.

In the Usenet there was custom of writing summaries. Article writer would direct the discussion.

> Authors of articles occasionally say that readers should reply by mail and they'll summarize. Accordingly, readers should do just that---reply via mail. Responding with a followup article to such an article defeats the intention of the author. She, in a few days, will post one article containing the highlights of the responses she received. By following up to the whole group, the author may not read what you have to say.

>When creating a summary of the replies to a post, try to make it as reader-friendly as possible. Avoid just putting all of the messages received into one big file. Rather, take some time and edit the messages into a form that contains the essential information that other readers would be interested in.

>Also, sometimes people will respond but request to remain anonymous (one example is the employees of a corporation that feel the information's not proprietary, but at the same time want to protect themselves from political backlash). Summaries should honor this request accordingly by listing the From: address as anonymous or (Address withheld by request).

>Similarly, it'd be more efficient if the seasonal migrations that help agriculture didn't happen and those people actually lived near the crops they help maintain.

I mean it's more complicated than that, most seasonal migrations of agriculture workers happen in large part because the seasonal workers come from areas with lower standards of living and lower cost of living. Partially, they are attractive as workers because they are able to take lower wages than the people who live where the crops are grown.
