Are you saying the US is significantly different from the countries surveyed by the UN? Why would this be the assumption?
sshd is kind of a poor example.

Kubernetes has an idea of a pod -- a group of containers that share an netns and have an IP.

Reasons you might want a pod:
* A thick client or client side proxy that follows the ambassador pattern for service discovery and access.
* A data-loader and data-server pair. The loader would grab data from some persistent source and write it to disk or a shared memory segment. The data-server would then use that data and serve it up. You'd could run the data-loader at a lower QoS so it doesn't stall the data-server.
* Some sort of server and a log saver. The log saver could periodically batch up and compress structured log data and upload it to a persistent store (such as BigQuery in GCP). You want to build/configure/restart/upgrade the log saver separately from the server. You'd also run the log saver at a lower QoS.

Inside of Google we have all sorts of examples where we have sets of containers/tasks/processes that are co-scheduled onto a machine and work together.
Couldn't it be both?
After a couple months of protracted late nights at a startup I worked for, I came up with an idea for a place which would offer by-the-hour nap+shower+coffee pods. You'd go in, pay $20 or whatever, have access to a shower and a bed, and at the end (or beginning) you'd get a coffee of your choice (if after, it would be ready for you when your nap was over).

I think this could do really well in Soma or the Financial District in SF. Just gotta enforce one-person-one-rule so that it doesnt become a place for prostitution.

Not if by "do not have" we mean "we know it exists and can work, but we haven't figured out how to control it yet". It's a bit similar to saying "we have this computer that we know can do this, but we haven't cracked the root password yet".
Interestingly, although the op uses the term 'sampling bias' which is usually used to discredit a study, the actual content of their comment doesn't seem intended to do so.

What they're talking about is not a sampling bias. If more aggressive women are hired than not, that's not a sampling bias... those women are representative of the population as it exists.

It's only a sampling bias, if say the study somehow selected individuals from the population in a non-random fashion, so as to overemphasize one particular trait.
It seems to me that Google's motivation for starting author snippets in search was to drive more people to sign up for Google Plus. Now that they've discovered it's either (1) not working, or (2) enough people have already signed up for G+, it makes sense to keep search uncluttered from the UX standpoint. You can see this steady move away from authorship snippets starting from when they first removed profile pictures.[1]

It'll be very interesting to see how efforts to create "biological reactors" for replicas of natural fibers progresses. Thus far, there have been a number of successful attempts at synthetic replicas of natural fibers. These successes have been spawned from chemical vs biological approaches. For example, rayon[1] was one of the first attempts at a synthetic silk, with nylon appearing just a few decades later[2], and eventually a number of other synthetic fibers. While there have been undeniable commercial successes, all of the pretenders remain worlds worlds apart from the look, feel, and even function of natural silk.

Likewise, I've heard occasional reports of teams working on synthetic spider silk[3]. That I've heard, none of these have developed into viable products much less replicated the properties of the original fiber.

Artifacts like this fabric woven from golden orb spider silk[4] remind me of tales of early plastic artifacts being collected and valued as rare treasures (which they were). Now plastics are absolutely ubiquitous. At what point will we create synthetic fibers that fully replicate or even surpass natural fibers? Interestingly, while a "plastic treasure" seems like a joke today, I expect that golden spider silk cloth will remain an impressive object both for its history and its amazing character as a physical object.

> We know one possible technique that will work.

Please show us how we "know" (given that we know with certainty so few things in biology).

> then there's always the nanotech.

... and God's angels. You're forgetting them. The "nanotech" you're referring to is, at this point, no more (in fact, it is precisely) science-fiction. Even as recently as 40 years ago, people were certain we'd all have flying cars by now. We can conjecture but not know that we'll be able to achieve some future technologies, even if we see some prototype of them. The fact life exists does not mean we'll be able to engineer it, and certainly not "control" it. There are some things that are simply intractable. We can't even forecast the weather for more than several days, so from the fact life exists you deduce that we'll be able to replicate it with "nanotech"? Maybe we will, and maybe we won't. It might be cool if we do -- and it might be horrifying and lead to our destruction -- but you're constantly confusing science with science fiction. And remember: all science fiction -- as well as most religions in the time they're founded -- are premised on what we currently know.
If your hosts in different data centers share IP space (you're able to route between them) then you can use Rudder. Please note that the traffic is not currently encrypted so if the interconnect between the data centers is over open pipes, it would be vulnerable. We'll be looking into encrypting the traffic in the future.

If there's NAT between the hosts (typically this is the situation at home) then Rudder will not work. We may add limited support for NAT, e.g. ability to specify a public IP to use instead of the one assigned to the NIC. However to make it easy to run from home would require doing NAT punching like STUN. We're focusing on making this useful for running in the datacenters with Kubernetes clusters.
Sad, and in a way beautiful (I hope that's not an inappropriate word to use), at the same time. This man lived his life to the full, and faced the end of his life (as he has known it), with the courage of an adventurer.

I must admit i had never heard of the man himself, although I do know of bitcoin. But I am humbled by how he is smiling in all of his pictures, despite his physical body slowly giving up on him; his wife constantly by his side, through thick and thin.

I get the impression that Hal would have been a genuinely nice man to know. His life and the way he has faced his challenges head on is (should be) an inspiration to all.

That's 'collected' only in the sense that the evidence has come into existence and legal proceedings have become a possibility. Speaking only for the US and as far as I'm aware, it isn't necessary for the evidence to actually be in the possession of any legal authority or for any legal proceedings to be underway.

Deleting incriminating emails in contemplation of future investigation is tampering with evidence, for example. I won't comment on police video recordings - knowledge and intent play a significant role in whether or not a crime has occurred, here.
RC planes get a lot more flight time than RC helis of equivalent gas/battery power. And the horizontal distance they can cover is better as well. You're right this is different, though it shouldn't be too hard for Amazon to transition to wings instead of rotors (though the control mechanics are somewhat different as well).
Yes, yes they do. I think we're in complete agreement there. I am married to a pilot, and I've seen some shit that would turn your hair white that is seen as perfectly normal in that industry.

The thing is, the fundamental epistemological problem that underlies those systems of oppression is that people think of people as 'male', 'female', 'husband', 'wife', 'employer', 'employee' etc. first, and as individuals second. This is the collectivism of which I speak.

It's also a gripe I have with a lot of feminist thought. It's not that I haven't read it, it's that I disagree with a great deal of it, both in terms of philosophical underpinning and also execution. Here's an excerpt from Dworkin's article:

"The shame of men in front of women is, I think, an appropriate response both to what men do do and to what men do not do. I think you should be ashamed."

To quote Rand:

"The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt."

Men who are not, themselves, rapists should not feel guilty because other men are.

Edited to add: there's a great article at http://www.atlassociety.org/feminism-and-objectivism on the Objectivist position on feminism:

"There are strong strands of collectivism in today's feminism. These strands of thought treat men and women as hostile classes. Some infamously ascribe radically different thought patterns to men and women as such. Objectivism rejects group-think of this sort, and holds that each individual should be judged based on character, actions, and ability, not merely on the person's sex. Rand called herself a "male chauvinist" because she admired the many great men of history, to whom all of civilization owes so much. Her rhetoric was chosen in response to collectivist feminists and racists who denigrated "dead white men" as such."

Edited to add again: re. the being married to a pilot thing ... I've worked as ground crew while she was flying tourists around on joy flights. I have been treated as the pilot while dressed in jeans and a hi-vis jacket, while she is in full uniform with gold on the shoulders. I have also seen her - again, dressed in full pilots regalia - been asked by prospective passengers whether she's ever been up in the helicopter herself. And this is the relatively mild stuff; she also once had a prospective employer tell her "sure, send in your CV, but I should warn you that when hiring we have an unofficial no chicks policy." Sadly it's not just the IT industry.
How do you plan on gaining national coverage of listings? Between the agents, brokers, aggregators, and MLSs the data supply chain is incredibly fragmented. Securing access to all of this data is an incredibly time intensive process that requires a LOT of relationship building. Unless of course you try to go the 'redfin' route and become a licensed brokerage in every state... but then.. you lose your edge and you're essentially competing with Redfin.

How do you plan on getting all of that listing data?

Otherwise, very cool idea - just trying to figure out how you plan to overcome that.

Why are you assuming I live in the US? I'm Australian, and our reported levels of rape are - fortunately - many orders of magnitude lower than 12.5% of the population, at around 29 per 100,000. Obviously not all rapes are reported, but I think it's fair to say that Australia has less of a rape problem than those countries.

My feeling is that this is a 'social hack'. Talk about using the drones in special, humanitarian situations first. People will then be less likely to come out against their development and testing. Then, once you have proved the technology and it has developed some level of public trust, you can expand into other areas with broader application and greater commercial returns.
Yes. If you lay still with your eyes closed and make sure your phone and internet stay quiet, you will fall asleep in 10 minutes or so.

That then leaves enough to get 10 minutes or so of sleep and get back up 20 minutes after starting your nap. Much longer than that and you risk not getting up for another few hours.

Much less than that and you won't get any rest.

And yes, this works perfectly well even without falling asleep. Just lay still for 20 minutes and let your mind wander without distractions or worrying about what you're thinking about. Congratulations, you've just meditated.
Seeing people going all "cryonics is another religion" saddens me in a way. It's a tragedy that we've learned to accept mortality to the point that as a species we're not only unwilling to try and fix it, we're calling those few who try nutcases.

Even if current cryonics won't work, how about focusing on trying to find another, better way to fix death, instead of throwing the towel and sneering?
>How do I get in front of companies and show them that I am an excellent hire.

If it was flattering for 37signals (read: influential company) to see this -- http://jasonzimdars.com/svn/ it will be even more flattering for not-yet-famous-company-X to see something similar.

1. pick a company that solves a problem that's interesting to you. or who's founder said something that resonated (in a talk, interview, or essay)
2. research their founding team
3. write / build / hand-craft / hand-deliver something (website, message in a bottle, anything, things non-digital like hand-written letters are particularly effective).
4. offer or do something unsolicited (logo, find a new customer, write effective copy for a campaign)
5. don't attach a resume. just write clearly, use nice paper, and expect nothing in return.

bonus: follow up if / when you don't hear back.

There is a line between irritating and hungry. You won't always be the latter but aim for it.

Do this 2 or 3 times, to companies that aren't yet big names (look through http://angel.co), and you'll floor their founding team with your level of effort and at least land an in-person.

Don't pick the job, pick the people and the problem. You'll find sufficient motivation later.
How much more in-depth can it get, I think I've written enough in this thread already and it seems to me as though the belief in the might of science outstrips the ability to reason. Science gave us guns and computers, therefore it will give us resurrection.

And then to ask for evidence is adding to the pile, the only admissible evidence here would be proof that it is indeed possible. And I don't see any such evidence, only very small bits and pieces which could possibly one day be expanded to a whole given unfathomable advances in technology.

The branches of science required to pull this off do not even exist yet.

Remember that old saw about advanced enough technology being indistinguishable from magic? That's the territory we're in here.

Technology is nuts-and-bolts stuff based on understanding, not modern variations on Pascal's wager.

Useful evidence for cryonics -> anything that can be used to market cryonics. Evidence against cryonics: nobody has ever returned from the dead. I realize that facing death is one of the hardest issues to come to terms with for the living but I'm a little but surprised how gullible the techies are when it comes to selling them a bill of goods like this.

I guess at some level everybody wants to live forever and companies like this handily tap in to that (as did every religion with a commercial aspect since millenia).
You might be able to save some time by having Scheedule [0] add your school. It was created at UIUC, and I've found that it works very well. I know it provides some other functionality beyond class scheduling (via FB integration), but most people I know just use it to plan their schedule.

Edit: It looks like schools are added based on a voting/popularity system, which wasn't what I was expecting.

Edit 2: Classwhole [1] is another UIUC creation that's been open sourced [2] and might work for you.

JSON Archetypes – Open-source JSON Models For Popular Types Of Data!

I've been writing these non-stop for a few weeks now. Let me know what you guys think. A simple star on github could help get this project some traction and perhaps we can one day come up with the best possible representations of every type of data there is :)
>fully scientific, supernatural-free bet

Those descriptors are not synonyms. There are many, many ways to be unscientific without any pretension of the supernatural. I think the word you wanted was to say "fully materialistic, supernatural-free bet".

The definition of science given by Francis Bacon and carried through to the modern era is that that a hypothesis is not accepted as valid until it has been tested experimentally, and a hypothesis must be tested after it has been formed (to avoid the sharpshooter fallacy). Modern versions allow you to use math, but that's as far as it goes. In this case, cryonics is obviously not scientific, because its effectiveness has not been demonstrated with the scientific method -- and that is what science is!
That has to be one of the most shocking statistics I have ever seen, regardless of the region of choice. As in, I don't think I have ever seen a number of a social metric that was so much higher than what I'd have guessed. (Though certain famine statistics and historical records for a few diseases are in the same ball park.)
> At what point will we agree that the Western nations have either blended or socialist systems?

A good line in the sand would be: whenever a government spends more of its revenue on social transfers than on the legislative, military, and judicial branches combined, it's either a blended or a socialist form of government.
What is Provigil? (I am in Australia) Is it like dexedrine or something?
We'll charge a small brokerage fee to start but plan to offer $0 commission closings in the future for clients who utilize partner services. There are other revenue streams we are looking at as well.
It just takes practice. For a nap, it helps to unwind quickly by focusing on deep breathing and allowing your mind to wander.

During a nap you're not trying to lose consciousness as if you're "totally asleep" either. It's almost like you're hypnotizing yourself into a deep state of relaxation. A pair of sunglasses or sleep mask can also help to reduce any daytime light to make it easier.

Practice it for a year, you'll be an expert after that and have a highly valuable skill.

> having identified a statistical anomaly, she is assuming one explanation

That is where you are going askew. There are two ways to derive knowledge from data. A) Start with a theory. Generate falsifiable hypothesis. Perform observation that validates or contradicts hypothesis. B) Start with statistical anomaly. Generate hypothesis (or hypotheses). Validate with more data.

Your objection assumes that the author took path B. She did not, she took path A: Starting with the hypothesis, and looking for confirming or disconfirming data.

The fact that there are other possible explanations is a valid point, but what you are doing is starting down path B, with your starting point being half-way through someone else's path A. It's a valid point, but it's not really an objection. In this approach, it would be a next-step, not something expected at this stage.

Sidenote: Most programmer-types seem to implicitly assume path B when reading research results. I assume this is because path B is how data-mining and machine learning work. Historically, path A is the more common approach, and is closer to the definition of the scientific method. Path B has only opened up recently, since data-collection has become more ubiquitous.
The abstract makes no mention of -130°C, but digging into the actual paper (can be read here: www.21cm.com/pdfs/cryopreservation_advances.pdf), it does mention:
"Fig. 13. Confinement of ice formation to the pelvis of a rabbit kidney that was perfused with M22 at 22°C for 25min, bisected, and allowed to passively cool in air in a CryoStar freezer at about 130°C... The vast majority of the kidney appears to have vitrified and is indistinguishable from the appearance of the kidney prior to cooling." (Emphasis mine)

"...a 2006 study of college professors in STEM fields showed that a whopping 59.8 percent hadn’t had any job experience in their industry. That means that a large portion of the professors tasked with teaching college grads how to become marketers, managers and salespeople have never marketed anything, managed anyone or sold anything at all."

Come on HN, you guys missed this cherry? I do like that you dug through the 22 year old's Linkedin profile to get his real degree, but yall missed a pretty big logical flaw there.

That said, there is a lot to analyze about the poor kid. First, he thinks that spending a year unemployed is abnormal. Granted the guy was in State College for a long time, and that is a pocket universe filled with football, cheap beer and cheaper dates. He's been sheltered with the Penn State pride and now is finally realizing that you gotta kiss a lot more ass than what he is used to in order to make it through an interview.

Second, he's at least misleading readers to his actual degree (as yall sought out online) and he thinks thats ok to do on a national level. A simple google search is going to ruin this guy. But as a voting, draft-eligible citizen, he's allowed to pave his own path.

Third, he's naive at best, ignorant at worst. Honestly, he seems harmless, and that is not going to cut it for the guy now that he dug this grave. He's got to get some beating in here before he realizes that he is the only one that will straighten his own back.

Best wishes to the poor guy. As John Wayne said: Life is hard, but its a lot harder when you're stupid.
