Real estate is basically a sponge. Any surplus wealth in an economy is soaked up by unlimited real estate inflation. You can see this with the tech wealth in the Bay -- all those high salaries just inflate real estate.

This happens when you have an asset class that is absolutely backstopped. Governments have made it clear that the entire economy will be sacrificed to prevent real estate from ever falling significantly in value. Here in the USA at least it's political -- home owners vote, and home owners often have most or all of their savings in their home.

One of the reasons I've seen a lot of people move from OCaml to Haskell is the "holy grail of multi core domination".
In OCaml, if you want control over multiple cores, you need to scale via the process model or wait for OCaml 4.03.

Some people have just moved on.

Ask HN: How do you handle large number of SSL certs?
Currently I have around 120 clients in a multi-tenant application hosted on Windows 2008R2 using IIS7. Of these about 70 of them have SSL certs. Its increasing becoming a nightmare maintaining all of them, so I need a better solution.

My question is, how do these large applications/companies handle managing SSL certs?

I know Windows 2012 and IIS8 supports SNI and maybe that is my answer, but I just want to know if there is a better solution out there from people smarter than me.

Note that switching over to Linux is _not_ an option and we are a Microsoft shop, however if the solution presented requires us to move away from IIS or introduce a layer in front of IIS that is an option.

Fast enough to integrate into a continuous integration build process and catches a lot of dumb mistakes/typos before deploying to production.
One nice thing about an ID is that I can leave it in my pocket if I don't want to identify myself. That's much harder to do with biometric identity.
I don't think so. Despite mealy-mouthed online commentators' poor wording, the law doesn't see making copies of information as "stealing" in any way.
MS Office Professional Plus 2010 Crack and Product Key Free Download
We use jenkins for testing the individual microservices, and the application integration as a whole.

The approach is similar to parametric builds in jenkins. The problem is the management of the parameters.

For example:

msA v1.0 & maB v1.0 are individually green, and pass all integration tests. Green build for app.

msB is updated to v1.1. Passes individual tests but fails integration with msA v1.0. Red build for app.

msA is updated to 1.1. Passes individually. Still fails integration with msB v1.1. Red build for app.

However. msA v1.1 is still compatible with msB v1.0, so we could have a green app build with a newer version of msA.

Automating this process is what is becoming cumbersome. We have many more services in dev at any one time.

Several US states have, let's say, prolific referendums which likewise result in large numbers of wonky proposals on the ballot.

Many state legislatures themselves (the bar for entry in some cases can be very low) often have absurd proposed laws that journalists tend to exaggerate the reality of because a small number of nutjobs manage to get themselves elected.
What's the point in the slider? Just show all 5 variants at once.

Also, great idea with the "Keep track" button at the end. Registration (and therefore conversion) becomes a part solving the user's problem ("How do I keep track of my work satisfaction?"). If it weren't for the slider, I'd definitely click it.
As usual, NoScript puts shitty webpages in their place.
There's a problem having a five-point scale with light-hearted descriptions attached to each point.

If I rate what I learned this week at 0/5, it's labelled "I've not learned a thing since the early 90s". Cute, but not really the same thing.

Likewise, all the stress descriptions seem to be about workload.
I'm dealing with something similar, and finding info on it is very difficult.

For years now, I've passed out very easily. I've been told it's autonomic failure, largely related to misfiring of the vagus nerve. I take medication for this and must wear compression stockings.

Recently I ended up with esophagitis and gastritis. I experienced those awful panic feelings that sometimes would turn into full blown-panic attacks. The chest pain, floating feeling, flashes of vertigo etc.. All related to vagal stimulation from GE phenomenon. Omeprazole helped significantly, as well as dicyclomine. Keeping a detailed food log and marking symptoms has helped me find problematic foods as well. All in all, it's been 6 months and improving, but it's absolutely miserable! Just knowing that you can be sitting there perfectly calm, then suddenly jolted into a panic attack is a daunting thing to deal with.

I don't have much to offer in the way of information, but it is good to know that there's other people out there suffering from the same/similar things.

No they don't. They had $1.4 billion in revenue, so they must have to have profits lower than that. In fact they lost half a billion dollars last year.

> Thankfully.

Sadly. I'd really like to see this being implemented somewhere during my lifetime. A society in which survival is no longer a problem might be just what we need in a time when the biggest problem in european agriculture is overproduction and many houses are empty yet we still worry about putting food on the table and a shelter over our heads.

What would people do with this new freedom? An acceleration of technical innovation? An art renaissance? How would relations change in the workplace once you no longer need to work in order to survive? Would volunteering take off as a socially acceptable alternative to paid work? Would it cover areas ignored by the current market?

Refitting the architecture boat to sail seas of information instead of motoring commodified ponds of construction? So far, it's not appreciably less successful in real terms and even if my valuations and probabilities are each off by an order of magnitude or two in bad directions, the expected return is higher per time unit of effort simply because piece work cannot scale well.

And writing.
I have no idea on the consequences this would have on the economy. But I like the idea of replacing other very costly social measures (such as unemployment benefits) with a universal income. We keep seeing unemployment as a huge failure of our system when at the same time, we're happy that innovation increases productivity and automation.

Maybe universal basic income is the paradigm switch that we need.
To be fair I think there's a certain amount of momentum and economy of scale when you reach enterprise levels of anything. Incrementally it's quite cheap to toss one more of widget X on the pile when you have a room full of widget X experts.

If you decide widget Y is now the way to go, you get to answer all the questions already answered for widget X: Who supports it? How? How to do we back it up and restore it? Who can tune queries? How does this differ from our build patterns for servers that host X? Can the two live on the same machine or are there potential conflicts? Etc.

Don't get me wrong - with proper planning you can educate the X guys on how to support Y and smoothly add it or even transition to it. But for large-scale systems it requires a great deal of planning and forethought if you want to do it without any bobbles.
You don't really control the composition that closely. The whole point of having a lot of microservices is that you can update and work on very isolated functionality at a time distributed.

As other people have noted as well in here, you should always keep the interface backwards compatible, if needed make a second version of the API or the messages, but never really have to deploy more than a couple of services who really have changed their behavior. The ones just interacting with those services should experience the same interface, being it a couple of versions older or newer.

I'd recommend watching the ucon videos [1] or Udi Dahan's Advanced Distributed Systems design [2] for more in-depth reference material. If you're transforming a team of engineers I can really advise you to join the latter and afterwards order the videos so you can use them with your team as training material! This is less about microservices as them being micro, but more about setting up a distributed service oriented architecture.

This really is amazing, but do we really need to keep building super-dense areas?

I don't mean to say this isn't awesome: it is.

But we have lots of unused surface, and generally, building horizontally has lots of advantages: more sunlights for citizens, more room for parks, less congestion/traffic.

I've noticed that places were people live more relaxed and happy lives tend to have less tall buildings, while places with more stressful inhabitants tend to be those with larger tower. More traffic, less green/sun and plenty of other factors are usually strongly related to both.

I wonder if Nordstrom's collection allowed them to have personally identifiable information. It seems like they just shipped it off to a third-party analytics company, which might be worse since they could do things like match up your MAC address with another place you shopped at. Just speculation, though.
Agreed on the slider.
Could you reword the question? I don't understand what you're asking.
Your face, your voice, your fingerprint, your iris, all of these things cannot be spoofed and are uniquely yours and cannot be taken away from you.

And you can't take them away from other people, nor revoke them when they are "compromised". In particular for faces and voices, they can be used to identify you without your knowledge and consent. That means they can be used to discriminate against you on whatever basis the discriminator chooses. This may just be price discrimination, which is what people are concerned about in the retail context. Or it may be more extreme. You could use it to deny job applications or credit to anyone who'd been at a political demonstration filmed by police, for example.

We have enough trouble with the simple human-recognisable biometric classifier of "race" being used to discriminate against people.
A medical device startup, based on a technology platform I invented in grad school. The startup part is what started me hanging out on HN, but I've found that there is very little overlap between what I'm trying to do and what startups on HN do. Still, things are interesting enough here that I keep checking in.

edit: I missed the "how's it working out?" part.

Not great. Cash starved from day 1. Funding for medical devices is quite, quite different than software (i.e., bad but getting better recently). We don't fit the model for many VCs, so that limits potential sources, and being in medical devices means that we need to deal with sophisticated investors that can run proper DD on us, further limiting potential sources. Funding has been (and still is) a struggle! It's also a little bit "lonely": we run into a lot of problems unique to this industry, but often we can't talk about it in detail, and even when we can, there aren't many people around to talk to.

Project management has been interesting. There's quite a number of consulting and industrial design groups out there, which helps to bring in expertise when needed and keep things lean overall. A big challenge has been in setting up the supply chain: it's not something I've done (or thought of) before, but consulting has helped out here as well. Basically, we'd be dead in the water without outside consultants.

Regulatory affairs is a pain, but I appreciate why it's there and it's not onerous per se, just slows everything down (not necessarily a bad thing). It more or less distills down to documenting "say what you're doing, and do what you're saying".

The technology side is a bit boring, honestly. We need to design things conservatively, unless we have a really, really good reason not to. We also need guaranteed years of availability for parts, which additionally tends to lead to conservative designs.

Surprising lessons learned: cable management (i.e., in the device) is a nightmare, and packaging is anything but a simple problem to solve. Also, may have learned more in 6 mos. tilting at these windmills than my entire undergrad + graduate career.

Huh. I live in the cities and have always been happy with USPS and am always baffled by other peoples' complaints about it. Interesting to know it's because our local service is outstanding.
It's easily found by Googling for images with the keyword "птичкопад".
Again, though, that's the Pandora's box of the argument- these technologies already exist and are in the wild, so we must come up with a way to co-exist with them instead of hand wringing and fretting that the world is changing and there's nothing we can do about it.

I'm absolutely on the side of wanting to come up with those as yet unknown solutions, and I abhor all of the people who say "well just don't be doing anything illegal and then it won't matter!" I'm suggesting a fundamental shift in the underlying societal zeitgeist which, I realize, is a huge stretch and a bit of a pipe dream, but I can still hope.

To clarify- I'm NOT saying it shouldn't be regulated, and I'm NOT saying we need to move to some sort of post-privacy utopia, I am saying "Gee it'd be nice if we moved past the hand wringing and started coming up with ways to use this technology in beneficial ways.)

i already created a ticket on github for this project, but I think it would be useful if rust libraries on github state if they build against 1.0.0 or against nightly , that would help chosing library.
I disagree. Startups have always embraced Free software since I know of this field.

What changes is when those startups become mature business, and they realize they don't need Oracle as much as "Mammoth" companies do.

It is the reason a company that disrespect geeks has not a good future.

When years ago I went to a geek convention and everybody had a mac, I instantly thought: Microsoft future is not good and bought Apple stock, even when people doubt about the company. It was a great decision.

Oracle has this attitude of "You are shit if you don't bring me a million dollars". They are not even neutral, they are hostile to startups. But startups grow and they don't forget how Oracle treated them.

Oracle:
Doesn't scale down. Lacks a lot of convenience features (BOOLEAN, DATE, IF (NOT) EXISTS, …).
You need a team of DBAs to manage it and have a good relationship them (send birthday cards for their kids, I'm not making this up). You need to have people on your team with a good understanding of Oracle. Then the speed and information you can get out of it is amazing — given your corporate structure gives you access to a good disk subsystem.

Support is a waste of time (we have a priority 1 bug open for more than half a year).

11.1g was so buggy that your DBAs would forbid us to go to 12.1c (BETWEEN AND wasn't working correctly).

I just wish they would open source their JDBC driver and accept pull requests.

Scale: about 10 TB, tables with between 500M and 1.5B rows, slow disk subsystem (SAN with about 150k IOP/s)
Lobbying for legislation is a tangential part of what a labor union does, and lots of organizations that aren't labor unions also do that. Labor unions first and foremost do collective bargaining on behalf of employees with the business owners who employ them. ABA and AMA don't do that.

ABA and AMA are professional associations, like ACM, that happen to have effective lobbying arms, and their members are often independent business owners rather than employees.
Shift to what, though? This is a bit like the vague calls to overthrow capitalism and replace it with something nicer. We're to overthrow privacy and replace it with .. what? We're really not ready for Culture-style machine-enforced morality.

This type of thing can generate freeloaders who deliberately choose not to work; something no economy wants. I understand and agree with the heart of the idea though.

A better alternative would be to offer the possibility of a guaranteed government job with a guaranteed minimum pay. This sort of thing was done on a massive scale in the united states during the great depression. See the PWA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Works_Administration
I don't know why you think that it's impossible to regulate these technologies. There could be laws against biometric identification without consent of the identified.

At what point is the paper/materials worth more than the money printed on it?
That's exactly what every profitable company does: pay their workers less than they otherwise could. The only alternative is to distribute all profit among employees. (And some people who believe that profiting from other people's work is immoral advocate just that.)

We've been running Influxdb 0.9 (pre-rc32), Heka 0.9 and Grafana 2 as well. It's been going OK, though we really needed to add stats collecting and batch write in Heka layer to not spike the CPU on writes to Influxdb.

The data write API changes so late in the 0.9 release candidates phase was an unexpected surprise. Also, needing to throw away all data written using pre-rc32 versions sucks. No way to migrate db versions? Boo!
oracle is great, has lots of great tools, and seems to be pretty solid. It is also ridiculously expensive. I have found Postgres to be essentially equal to it in terms of programmability (triggers, stored procedures) and.. it's free. It keeps getting better.. lots of larger scale startups use it (like instagram), and is essentially eating Oracle.. particularly where Oracle plays best (at the fortune 100 corporate level). Most of my clients have plans to migrate to it, or are actively doing that.
I've used Mysql for smaller stuff and it's ok..why use it when you have postgres. The license is better anyway.

Haven't used MSSQL in years, but it's very good (on Windows).
Track qualitative feedback too.

Also, one thing you could do that might be interesting: add the ability to set up or manage teams. That way it can be used for team retrospectives, just as Slack is now used for standups.

Perhaps tie it into Github (using organisations and/or repos as the basic units of projects, similar to how waffle.io does to give an agile view of projects.

Interesting idea though.
> the fact the you buy a house (or many houses for that matter) and the rent them out is completely beyond me.
