This is a problem because you risk having domains that nobody can use anymore.

Edit: as I wrote in another comment, I got confused with indentation and assumed that the comment I was replying to was saying that it doesn't make sense to have a recurring fee for domains. I'm sorry. I do agree that a blockchain isn't a good alternative.
They taught us in Appalachia to avoid re-occuring payments at all costs, because if you forget about it they can rapidly drain your bank account.

What is your suggestion for those of us who can't spare an angel investment of "just" ten dollar a year until we die or sell the domain?
I cannot speak to Germany or California, but I can speak to being close to family. I know that has been invaluable to my wife and I. We were only 4.5 hours away when we first had our kids, but it seemed like a million miles. It was hard not having support or even just to drop the kids with family to run an errand or go to an appointment. After being back it is just amazing to have family close. Having that love, help and support will ease a lot of burdens. Even in a small village remote work should be an option. I would assume (but obviously don't know) that a small village in Germany has a lower cost of living than California so you should still be able to build wealth if you both get decent jobs. Just remember money isn't everything, and having family close will ease many of those burdens.
I very nearly was not able to login to my Apple account on a new computer because I did not have an old device to verify, and of course I hadn't kept the master recovery key where I could remember where to find it.
You can't have a Telegram account without a phone number, can you?

So the difference is merely whether it's your user identifier?
I moved from west coast US to Germany last year and I'm very happy here. Reach out if you want to chat.
Agreed, though I don't think I'd be surprised if this was completely true or completely false.

Crypto, IHMO, is largely a MLM geared (predominately) towards men. Just as Mary Kay, LuLu Roe, etc are geared towards women. It's the same "girlboss" energy "you are a smart investor" bullshit.
And it attracts the scummiest people (see: ICOs, pump and dumps, "influencers" pushing coins, NFTs.

I say this with a small bit of money in crypto but also as someone who would never recommend people put money they aren't willing to lose into it. It's all a gamble and I think the odds of it all coming crashing down are 100%, it's just a matter of time. In recent years I've even become grossed out by even holding any with the intention of withdrawing as it really just makes me a part of the problem. Any money I might make would come at the loss of the people left holding the bag when it all blows up.

All that said I do find many of the concepts of crypto (blockchain, smart contracts, etc) to be fascinating but the power needed to make this a reality is simply unsustainable and I'm not at all convinced by any PoS-type "innovations".
I wonder what sort of spaceship would be capable of emergency deceleration at 4g for nine days, but would choose a leisurely 0.1g cruise to get up to .1c over the course of over a year instead.

edit: actually, what sort of rotational rings would withstand that 4g load? Surely they'd break apart.

I guess that might be part of the fun and exciting plot - the rush to move vital equipment into the core of the ship, and choosing to abandon the rings, and adapt to a week of high-g, followed by a long low-g cruise period.
sorry you lost the hacker news lottery, yours is the dupe now
While I don’t know the future for sure, if I see even some users are getting benefit from my work, I will be disciplined enough to spend at least 4-5 hours a week to support my creation. In fact I am not opposed to the idea of starting to support an open source project
Whatever gave it away... was it the delay until publishing? the supposed exploit that enabled the author to read anyone's message on Telegram? the author's supposed impending death due to terminal illness? the lurid tales of child trafficking and murders?
Rent was never mentioned? They said property taxes, where, in owning a house, you must pay property tax to benefit from the the services, courts, and military defenses of the country you live in - and if you don't pay, the country still has to protect that piece of land anyways, so they take it from you for non-payment and/or deprive you of other freedoms by throwing you in jail so that someone else can own the land and pay taxes on it.
I'm not seeing any grievances or frustrations being aired here, just mostly positive things about living in Germany.
The aging population in this case are literally offering him free childcare. Bit of quid pro quo wouldn't hurt?
TK was the new .ru, which sucked since while Putin is a jerk, most Russian people are quite nice, just less talkative than people from where I grew up.
Azure is the best in industry, also you only have English? What about SSML?
Why use such drives instead of like a NAS that you can access remotely? Isn't this more hasstle?
The fact that you can use a legitimate looking subdomain without the need to hide it or fake it, like bank.eu.org in order to trick users that it's indeed a real domain coming from EU official site. We all know that to average internet users .org = organization so you can imagine how they will interpret any .eu.org domain :-)
Yeah, the US sounds rather hostile to raising children, from everything I hear. Not just the school shootings, but also being unable to play outside, no biking to school, and the way politics seems eager to politicise everything about education there.

I'd definitely pick Germany. Actually, I'd pick Netherland, because that's where kids are apparently the happiest in the world, but Germany sounds like a great alternative.

And grandparents nearby is a boon to any young parent.
Show HN: SetOps – Run containers, databases and more in your own AWS account

> I also don't believe software engineering principles will help you reduce operational complexity.

This isn't a goal of SRE, in my opinion nor in anything I can recall reading. The goal of applying software engineering principles is to accept the increased complexity in exchange for a reduced operational burden.

There's layers of that effect, and the right one depends on largely on your operational burden. Sysadmins shun complexity, so systems are simple but doing mass updates requires a lot of manpower. DevOps embraces some complexity like Ansible or manually orchestrated containers making it easier to do mass updates, but still a burden. SRE embraces complexity, in exchange for a dramatic reduction in manual effort on many tasks.

The idea is that at certain scales (or reliability requirements), it becomes cheaper to hire a small number of expensive people that can manage complex systems than it is to hire a large number of people each managing a simple system.

Software engineering arises because it can effectively trade complexity for reduced operational burdens in exactly the areas you want. You don't have to migrate to a new infrastructure orchestration tool, you can just write an orchestration tool on top of what's there (which I've actually seen done). Was it perfect? No. Was it cheaper than migrating a half million containers to Kubernetes? Yes.

Operations management tends to be very inflexible. They have a set of tools, and anything outside those tools is either a no go or will require replacing an old tool at the cost of months of effort.
Well, I agree. What is the use? Well, inaccurately simple models can sometimes help make complex phenomena manageable. If we roughly assume that there are real variations in people’s motivation (eg variations in curiosity, status-seeking, fear, joy) we can see whether certain variations predict certain kinds of success. If so, we can think about how to support these educationally. If we find that curiosity-based motivation in math is highly predictive of certain kinds of success, we might want to see how to cultivate that motivation through pedagogy.
I kept reading this with some amount of assumption of credibility because it's the top link on HN but then I got to the end and just didn't see a single reason to believe any of it.
I came here to say Germany as well. But so many others with so much more experience in Germany than me have chimed in. It’s pretty amazing how near universal the response has been.

I’m curious how the answers would change if we shifted some of the variables.

What if the asker’s Bavarian parents were elderly and less than the ideal support grandparents? What if it were his parents living San Diego that were the eager kid helpers?

What if the family support situation was more “average” on bot sides, but located in either Bavaria or a less metrotech area of the US, say Spokane WA?
Hey HN! I’m Tobi, Co-Founder of SetOps.

Heroku is awesome; I started my dev career with it as well. But for us, a digital agency, it didn’t scale very well, mainly price-wise. AWS solved the pricing issue but made our dev teams slow since they did not know the in-and-outs of AWS and therefore relied on the DevOps team, which became a bottleneck for new projects.

During this time, the idea of SetOps was born. We imagined a tool that empowers developers to run their applications in the cloud to ship apps faster. But it needed to be flexible enough to fulfill all our customer’s requirements. So our key target group is Devs & DevOps alike. By providing a web interface, CLI and API, it can be used by devs and automated CI/CD systems.

Unlike other players like Heroku with SetOps users deploy to your own AWS account – keeping ownership and control of their infrastructure, allowing them to leave SetOps as they please and profit from AWS saving plans which might save a lot of money.

Two important topics to us are reliability and cost-efficiency. By using AWS ECS, managed load balancers, autoscaled EC2 instances, and redundancy across data centers, the infrastructure and, therefore, the deployed applications are highly available and self-healing. By sharing resources as much as possible – like one load balancer for multiple apps and shared database instances – SetOps can save some additional bucks.

If there is a use-case that SetOps does not support, it can be extended by additional AWS resources and external cloud services like MongoDB Atlas via VPC peering. Also, a reason to deploy to one’s own cloud account.

Although user-facing SetOps is currently an imperative infrastructure tooling, under the hood, we use a JSON definition of a so-called stage (a collection of apps and services) which we pass to Terraform to ensure that the state in the cloud account always matches the desired state. This allows for fixing broken AWS configurations as well.

Long story short: if SetOps sounds interesting, check out setops.co. We are looking forward to your feedback and use-cases.
> I feel like you can never fully heal... but you can learn

I saw a graphic about "moving on" and loss / grief. It showed that most people think of you as jar and grief is a ball that shrinks over time.

The reality is the grief never goes away, its with you forever. You grow around it. Your comment really hit me in that one.

They should make a formal web standard that you should be able to prepend "preview." like tinyurl supported if people are going to keep using those things for tasks ranging from dumb marketing bullshit to full on attacking my computer.

if that was the vector id be impressed tbh.
This metric optimises for more approvable products, which still isn't the thing you actually wanted. Sixteen slightly different approved products which do basically the same thing means sixteen approvals but you only solved one actual problem. Together with favourable treatment for "new" patentable medicines compared to just using the stuff that already worked the result is an American can find their doctor has prescribed them a $1000 per month "new" drug that is basically identical to the $10 per month drug similar patients are given Free At Point Of Use in many countries for a decade, except this one has a patent and so the manufacturer gets exclusivity and $990 profit.

What we actually wanted wasn't richer executives, or more approval paperwork, it was healthier people, and the US scores very badly on that.
>> I just requested a certified birth certificate from the register of deeds in my county, and they said it SHOULD be ready by December.

That's...insane. Obviously this all depends on where you live but 6 months to get a birth certificate is crazy. I can get mine in less than 5 working days after I submit my request (which can be done on the phone, in person, or by mail). And that's the standard non-priority service.
Will CA have another 'big one' one day? No doubt. Is the state in a precarious position due to climate change making the entire region more arid? Definitely; but I don't think there's any science behind the 'ring of fire' events you describe. That's not how tectonic activity and subduction / slip earthquakes work.

Why don't I like linked lists?

Ok, not a great pun, but I have always used arrays when possible, even for stuff that needs inserting. I just assume I won't have a million elements to shuffle.
Oil changes are a good source of income, but there is a lot of other service. Oil changes are nice to get people into the dealer, but many people go elsewhere for them. My last new car was recalled a few times, for things unrelated to the engine. An EV still has a suspension system, tires, steering, brakes, and thousands of other components that can have recalls, break, or otherwise need work.

There is a bit less maintenance without an ICE, but not much.

This is an overly cynical and more importantly, verifiably wrong take https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/20161201-g...

Rant: Lazy cynicism like this does real harm, it stochastically propagates the idea that everything is shit, we can't fix anything and the only chance is to burn it all down ans start from zero. Which primes easy marks for revelation vendors like Trump, crypto etc.

It's not desirable at all, but it is inevitable and in many ways already here. While I'm not sure I agree with the argument, I think the idea is holding this stuff back just means it's more powerful and nefarious for those that do have it because the population at large will remain unaware for longer that trust is already gone. And that means innocent people are going to get hurt while that knowledge asymmetry in the population is delayed from catching up.
While I've yet to have this problem, I've actually been mentally keeping track of my ability to bootstrap back up. LastPass is trying to get me to add TOTP or other 2FA, but even though it promises (for now) that my master password can still get me in, I've resisted, because the password manager is my linchpin, and I need to be able to get in there just with "what I remember", and I don't want another way in where I'm not continually practicing that and keeping the memory fresh.

I also every so often take a backup of the LastPass DB and put it on my local Nextcloud, which get encrypted backup to S3 every night.

2FA is a lot less scary at work, where I have administrators and coworkers who can vouch for me face-to-face and reset it if necessary. I feel like there isn't a widespread understanding that personal authentication is a much harder problem than corporate authentication for that reason. It is easy to end up accidentally webbing together all your personal authentication until your current phone is your one and only token. Heck, with all the 2FA flying around now it's probably possible to get yourself into a situation where the only way to authenticate is using something else you're already authenticated to and you can't bootstrap back up if that expires unexpectedly. If we're not there we're getting close.
Yes, this was part of the public discourse around video games in the 80s.

This is a quote from an Erma Bombeck article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erma_Bombeck).
My passwords and important documents are sync'ed to the cloud, my office PC, my home PC, my home Mac, and my laptop. If for some reasons the three places (office, home, and DC) which are in a circle of about 40 km are destroyed at the same time, I probably could care less as there would be some major disaster like a mega earthquake, thermonuclear war, etc.
They do list users and provide joins and parts if you request the IRCv3 CAP. I've never used IRC before (well before my time) outside of implementing some Twitch overlay stuff for a friend though.

I did not mean to discourage people from making their own evaluations. Maybe I did not word it correctly.

The article starts with questioning best practices for implementing real-time processing threads. The statistical analysis presented in the article is based on a single workload and a single machine, which in my opinion does not help to answer this question.
I appreciate the feedback.

We tried to think of our pricing as the value a user would get out of the tool. The amount of time and headache we'd save them when actually responding to an incident. We've found a lot more pushback for smaller sized companies (e.g. <20 eng) but have also realized the challenges of managing incidents are less pronounced.

Just curious for my own learning, is the thinking behind "should be cheap" motivated by potentially not everyone would need access to tools in monitoring, alerting, response?

I work a four-day week (80% time, not imagining 4-10s) as a software engineer at a non-profit academic organization. For a paycut basically, I make 80% of what I think of as my "actual" salary.

I have managed to do this at a succession of several jobs now. When I briefly tried to go back to 5 days, it was really hard. It seems insane to me now that anyone works 5 days a week. (And I do know plenty of people work even more, and I am very lucky).

Fridays are for doctor's appointments and car repair and grocery shopping and errands. Which probably does mean I'm away from "work hours" for these things less than I would be full-time, I just schedule such things for Fridays where possible. In general, I am pretty convinced that I'm at least 90% as productive on 80% time as I would be on 100%, maybe more.

Working at non-profit academic, I'm definitely not making my "market" salary. I could be making a lot more than I am now, even at 80% of a salary, at various more typical organizations. But I'm not sure how viable the 4-day week is with potential employers -- even if I'm willing to take a paycut to 80% of salary, which I am! Unlike the OP which is giving everyone a 4-day week at full salary? My impression is that most high-paying software engineering jobs/organizations are not going to let you do 4-days a week? Which is crazy when they could get me for 80% of the cost with most of the productivity -- but I guess the high-paying organizations aren't exactly trying to save money on salary.

I really don't think I'd go back to 40-hour-a-week-standard unless I had to.
I don't want a laptop. I want a tablet that I can use as a computer 2 times a year.

The limitation is artificial, because the hardware is already capable today. I get why Apple keep doing it this way, but I don't get why people keep defending Apple.
Not trying to justify that law (and I'm not a fan of the Bavarian "one-party-state" either), but I want to mention that "the police" can't put you into prison forever - they need to get it reapproved every three months by a judge. Plus, if you're the kind of person this law targets (a suspected terrorist), you would be well advised not to move to the US either...
Those property comparisons are way way off - Passau is in the middle of nowhere - if you wanted a house like that close to Munich it would cost millions and it's even a struggle to find one available.

Housing in decent locations in Bavaria is very expensive and in very short supply compared to San Diego.
> What do you propose to do with those of us who...

Not my problem. It's your life and your money. And of course you know that not everyone who has purchased it has deemed it "useful" beyond the use of hodling until you sell to someone else for more money. I've used BTC myself, to buy drugs 10 years ago. Sadly, it seemed more useful then than it is now.

Anyway, I don't think anything should be done to dramatically affect Bitcoin directly, but there probably should be something done about people taking advantage of the shitcoin market. It's far too easy to make your own crypto and rugpull a bunch of people. I'm quite disgusted with it and with American society's slow cultural procession toward becoming gambling addicts, which is most likely not a coincidence (although, I won't blame crypto for it entirely).

(And no, it's not now nor ever was the same with trading public securities, which have financial statements whose format and structure are regulated by the government.)
Both terms were in wide use in the Chicago area.
The value of having grandparents nearby who want to help cannot be overstated, especially once you have two kids. My wife's parents live 20 minutes away, and we're building a house for my parents next door.
Being that my modern car drives nearly 10 thousand miles before each oil change, gets at least 4x the gas mileage, easily drives over 200k miles before major maintenance, and won't turn me into hamburger if I get in a crash, I will argue its well worth it.
I am still on the fence on this. On one hand this is a good pro consumer move while also being environmentally friendly but this will likely hinder innovation in the field.
If a new way charger standard was found which was a fraction of the cost of USBC and double the speed, the fact that companies would be forced to still use USBC is tough.

Incredibly telling. How did he fake the pictures of the phone, yubikey etc.
Family support trumps major amounts of things, including large amounts of salary banding.

Also remember that when your kids are older (or, God forbid, the grandparents have passed on) you still could move back.

Given what you've listed, I'd aim for Germany.
Mbone was tunneled, and expanded to native IP multicast to save bandwidth in networks that supported it. Meanwhile current networks use multicast (non routed, granted) all the time for eg service discovery and lower level stuff like finding the MAC address corresponding to a IP address.
Plus this service starts at $249/month for the first non-"evaluation" plan compared to AWS & GCP which are fully Pay as you go. That's a complete deal breaker for anyone who wants to use it for a side project.
