I worked in insurance. Not this kind of insurance. This is not "professional advice."

Insurance is about managing risk. What risks are you managing?

Insurance is specifically about managing the financial risks involved. So, for example, sometimes people buy Key Employee insurance to make sure they can pay the bills while shopping for a replacement for the individual in question because the business won't function while their position goes unfilled. Key employees tend to be hard to replace, so it could be empty for some weeks or months.

How much to buy? Well, break out your calculator and figure out how much money you need to protect against the expected issue.

For life insurance that hypothetically works like this:

"I hypothetically am the primary breadwinner and have one child who is 14 years old. I want enough life insurance to make sure they are provided for until they graduate college in an estimated eight years. Multiply my current salary by eight years, tack on the cost of tuition and you are in the ballpark of a rough estimate for how much insurance to buy."

Also ask yourself if there are other, better ways to protect yourself. I paid accident claims. A lot of the claims I paid were "accidents waiting to happen."

If you want protection against accidents ruining your business, developing ways to reduce the odds of an accident happening will generally be a better investment than accident insurance.

If you want to make sure your family isn't burdened with the high price of funerals, a pre-paid funeral can serve that need better than insurance.
I think as long as there is a profit to be made it will be healthy and happy both the open web and hardware. I'm more concerned about governments removing protections like Section 230 and principles such as net neutrality. It's also why I would like to see huge companies like Facebook and Google busted up into 3 or 4 pieces. You can get "too big". I'm afraid the capitalism fails at such ludicrously large legal entities and history has shown us this.
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

This is super awesome for customers. I am also beyond excited for all the open-source connectors to finally be simplified so that they don't have to deal with the "oh right, gotta be careful because of list consistency". It was super awesome when we were able to delete a huge chunk of the GCS Connector for Hadoop, and I hope to see the same across the S3-focused connectors.

I'm now much more inclined to make my GCS FUSE rewrite in Rust also support S3 directly :).
I don't know if HN should know about it, but I have started trying to broaden my reading beyond the "Western Canon". Right now I am working on whatever works of Junichiro Tanizaki(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun%27ichir%C5%8D_Tanizaki) I can find. My favourite so far was "Some Prefer Nettles" which aside from the puppetry bits seemed like a narrator who could have lived in our time. It felt very modern overall.
AWS needs to start naming things in a more self-explanatory manner. So many services.

Ask HN: Did you become millionaire after working in tech?
Curios to hear from people who became millionaires after working in tech. Specifically, what was your path like, did you do a startup, what % of equity you were holding when you sold, anyone with unconventional path made it big?

I feel going somewhere cheaper and jumping on the remote bandwagon is probably a good move for them. I’ve always been told that the allure of SV was how top engineers and other professionals were all within such a dense area. However, I don’t ever see HP ever being able to recruit those top individuals over FAANG et al.

I think a lot of developers who think they have referential integrity and strong consistency requirements are mislead. I've seen the case where for example User A is leaving Company Z and the developers have, for some reason, rigged it so removing A's access to all documents in the world has to happen in one giant cross-shard transaction, because it's consistent which means it's correct. But ... that's crazy. There's a hundred equally-correct ways to do it with tombstones and ordering and without cross-shard or even cross-row transactions. If you give a developer something that looks like BigTable they'll learn to deal with ordering, instead of using atomicity as a crutch.
The comment I was replying to seemed to interpret this as an "admissibility of evidence" issue. My point was that it has nothing to do with "admissibility", just that the GP comment was pointing out that if the person recorded this without the consent of all parties (which turned out not to be the case, but regardless) they could potentially be putting themselves in serious legal jeopardy.
Stop blaming yourself. Even the article mentions that it is the employer to blame. It even suggests that the solution is to show solidarity and put pressure on your employer by talking to him as a group. Otherwise I don't think there is anything you can do.

This is actually about high level languages like C, from the abstract:

>Note that, by this definition, assembly languages occupy a position intermediate between machine languages and compiled languages.

And:

> Thus, I take the point at issue to be: “To what extent is it desirable for the system programmer to specify machine details?”

Basically this is an article about the importance of machine independent languages, and not about using Python for your userland or something similar.

About every 3 years when I've tried to migrate and use some db migration tool it always seems to throw frustrating string/formatting errors, each time I've smacked my forehead and ended up just grabbing Ruby and ActiveRecord, it just always seems to work without any weird parsing errors.
we use s3 in a repo pattern pretty heavily and I had no idea they didn't have read-after-write consistency. I've noticed s3 will hold connections open by sending back blank lines and always assumed it was synchronizing for consistency.
It's interesting to read all these comments here that talk about the eventual consistency like it was some kind of bug.
Sometimes bizarrely aggressively by the most unexpected companies, too. Taco Bell's website downright refuses to work if it catches a whiff of a VPN or any attempt at privacy. A VPN means 403 errors on everything and turning it off doesn't always stop them. There's some kind of token endpoint that will continue to 403 after disabling the VPN. Even the payment processor refuses to load unless you disable a bunch of privacy settings because it's inside an iframe. All it displays in Firefox is a Firefox error page saying the (payment processor's) site won't allow Firefox to display the page in an iframe.

You'd think I'm placing an order for tacos from Fort Knox or something.

> It's freedom.

AWS or any cloud service is anything but freedom. So please use the word freedom judiciously. If you are working with AWS your application and your whole organization is at the whims of Amazon. You will not even be able to migrate if you are tied into those API's and services because they are not same across cloud providers. You don't even own the data or compute resource hosted on such cloud services because just by a single notice from a government agency your account will be blocked without access to your own data or compute resources. It has happened and will continue to happen because for government approaching single cloud provider is much easier than going over the process of getting it for company or an individual (more costly and difficult given different jurisdiction across country and state lines).

In terms of technical freedom you will have less of it and will be tied into proprietary extensions, API and services offered by those cloud providers.

On the other hand for self-hosted infrastructure government notice will not block access to resources owned by you and data in those resources. You can respond to notice and continue using those resources until court rules. So it is more freedom than a cloud can offer.

In our organization we need to go extra mile and put extra engineering efforts to make sure our apps can work on different clouds with different services (e.g. using apache libcloud, avoiding proprietary API's).
Algorithms used for proof-of-work have to produce solutions that are very efficient to verify (it needs to be much more efficient to verify than to compute, and it also just needs to be very efficient to verify overall because every potential block processed by each node has one), it needs to have a smoothly adjustable difficulty factor, and if the solutions are economically valuable to anyone, it weakens the value of it as a proof-of-work algorithm because it can cause mining to be a much less level playing field and cause double-spend attacks to be more profitable.

Imagine a university gets a huge grant to run protein folding calculations, and the grant lets them do more than everyone else including miners: now they own >50% of the mining power of the cryptocurrency without making any investments intended toward mining and can now do 51% attacks at no added cost.

Or imagine someone with less than 50% of the mining power trying to do a double-spend attack: normally this is discouraged by the fact that double-spend attacks are probabilistic, and the attacker has to pay the full cost for doing the attack regardless of whether it's successful. But if the proof-of-works are valuable outside of their purpose within cryptocurrency as proof-of-works, then the attacker can re-coup some of the costs of their attack by selling the results of their proof-of-works. Double-spend attacks will then have higher benefits and may be profitable to attempt now.

Additionally, proof-of-work systems used by a decentralized cryptocurrency can't rely on a centrally-produced dataset. If the Folding@Home group produced workloads for the cryptocurrency miners to solve, then the group could construct fake workloads that they already knew the solutions to, and then secretly insta-mine those workloads themselves to earn mining fees or to do double-spend attacks on the network.

I think it's better for cryptocurrencies to instead focus on developing solutions that just don't need proof-of-work mining to happen at all, like proof-of-stake.
Mind if I ask what issue you have with their practices? I try to be a conscious consumer so I’m curious if anything you know would concern me as well.
Ask HN: How to Make Money from Servers?
Actually, why there is no startup build around that. It let people rent their servers. Think of AirBnB for servers. Is there something like that?
You give it a few hundred problem classes, and constraints for possible answers, and it will randomize the class of problems and generate a unique problem as well as calculate the answer. Then you submit the answer as well as your work and it gets corrected.

For things such as proofs, it might give you a problem for which the theorem is needed, then ask you to solve the problem, indicate which theorem you used, and then prove the theorem.

Then you’re doing something wrong with Windows because in the years I’ve been using it I have never been interrupted by an update I couldn’t postpone.
Not quite _always_. There were some documented caveats... the one I hit before was:
Read nonexistent key, followed by a write of that same key, and then a subsequent read could return a stale read saying it didn’t exist. (even though it had just been written for the first time.)

Anyway I am glad to see these gaps and caveats have been closed.

An advanced course is — almost by definition — not general, and geared towards a specialization within a context.

So an advanced course would be about data science, cryptography, machine learning, vector calculus, autonomous vehicles, object recognition or some other “vertical.”

Do you know which direction you want to go in and what you want to learn? Depending on that answer you might get a different recommendation.

Having said all that, the answer is Udacity.
Wine or coffee is my go to.

Both have a long shelf life, so even if we have plenty on hand currently, eventually we’ll get around to enjoying it.

They also both come in at lots of price points: from affordable to fancy.
AWS Dynamodb outage/issues us-west-2
This was a good read about explaining debugging to a sibling who isn't a programmer. I loved the illustrations and the way the author explained things.
Could be, but if so it's persistent. It's about a day later now, and the page still won't load.
First, absolutely not.

I would love to know what something like this would look like but bottom line is that it would need to be automated and I can't think of anyway to do that.

How would work be verified? It would need to be done by people and as soon as there are people verifying the work those same people would be better off verifying fake work.
God please no. I would disable this in slack in an instant if I could. I dread the day it becomes available in any other platform I use.
I tried to build a T-Sql-to-pgsql compiler to enable us to migrate our code but ran into some fundamental issues.

Sql Server allows you to have arbitrary statements/declarations embedded in your sql queries. It also doesn't require type information to be specified in many places.

How does this translator get around that?

For example, if I have this bit of unoptimized T-Sql:

declare @m int
select @m=[MeterID] from EnergyMeters where MeterLocation='/a/b/c';

select sum([Value]) from EnergyData where [MeterID]=@m;

How would this get translated to pgsql? (Yes, you can combine this specific statement into a single query - this is a trivial example to highlight the point)
Neat! Would this make it possible in the future for S3 to support CAS like operations for PutObject? Something like supporting `if-match` and `if-none-match` headers on the etag of an object would be so useful.

Apologies if I spam this stuff too much but I'm so intrigued by the dynamic complexity of this whole thing.

The following three videos describe the process of DNA Transcription (copying a single gene's worth of RNA from the DNA strand), Translation (subject of TFA, creation of the protein from that RNA), and Replication (the process of making a complete copy of DNA for purposes of cell division.

Keep in mind that the functional components you see in here are themselves (generally) proteins that are created (and have evolved) by a similar process.
