How Google caused my prod service interruption
So our marketing web site caught some malware and Google have dutifully added us to their backlist. The whole domain that is, both marketing web site and a product(login.servicechannel.com) itself although they are on completely different servers. As per https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/168328?hl=en we found and removed the malicious code (we actually turned the web site off altogether (corp.servicechannel.com) and submitted a 'Request for review'. Supposed to be done in 24 hours, we submitted a request at 9:30 am EST yesterday. Google is taking their time, in the meanwhile we have tens of thoгnsands of clients getting a red page and being confused. There doesn't seem to be a way to expedite things at google, hence this reach out to HN, maybe some at Google is reading this.

If anyone from google can help, please reach out lkurts@servicechannel.com
or bengler@servicechannel.com
This is what worries me. We are using Angular, and my non-technical co-founder knows just enough HTML and CSS that she makes a very useful contribution to our front-end development. Sometimes the contribution is in the form of HTML mockups produced outside of our app that are easy for me to port over, and sometimes it's direct contributions to the codebase. I worry that if I went the React JSX route that it would be much harder for her, or pure designers that we might hire, to meaningfully pitch in.
Metrics That Matter to Communities
Your example of title is different from the given example of mistaking who in a picture they are talking to. You're arguing against something I'm not defending or mentioning. I'm even going out of my way to exclude such examples of implicit sexism by admitting it exists but the specific example given wasn't a good example of it since it was likely an honest mistake. To bring up another example that I excluded and made no mention of is being intellectually dishonest.

A picture with a male in it could easily be mistaken for being male when you know nothing else about the person other than a picture and their username if the username is interpreted to be masculine or their manner of speech is interpreted to be masculine. Since names and speech are gendered that's a very common mistake to make online and it swings both ways. Feminine-sounding guys are assumed to be girls and masculine-sounding girls are assumed to be guys. If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck most people are going to think it's a duck. If it isn't a duck they weren't being duckist. They are simply wrong.

If someone's name was "Jesse" or "Taylor" and their job title was "Hooter's Girl" would it be sexist to assume the person is female? I'm of the opinion it wouldn't be sexist at all, given the information provided. It could still be wrong, but being wrong is not being sexist.

Rhetorical question, by the way, I know you think it is still sexist.
I said fatty foods are often more satiating. Your oatmeal vs olive oil competition has nothing to do with what I said.

A higher fat:carb balance than mainstream diets leads to less hunger, because of the satiety of fat when combined with other foods (especially fibre and protein) and mor importantly because of the reduced insulin spike when carbs are reduced.
But then you lose a lot of the benefits of microservices, namely the scalability and reliability of being able to manage deployments seperately.

A different snap answer: Self defense.

If Greece had collapsed in 2010, the rest of Europe would have been hurt somewhat badly. By buying five years, the rest of Europe was able to position themselves so that a Greek collapse would not hurt them nearly so badly.

It is my impression that Greece did not use those five years nearly so wisely, but that's a different issue.
... and why would we invest the money to do that when there is not enough (software-driven) demand for that performance.

The average person uses PCs and mobile devices to browse the web, write documents, order an Uber, and maybe play games. Nothing much is being done on the software front that challenges current systems. Maybe if VR took off or we got home applications for AI like domestic robotics that would change. I could see a domestic robot capable of folding clothes, cleaning up, etc. needing a low power chip that can do what a dual-12-core Xeon can do on smart phone power and thermal profiles. <5nm might be needed to accomplish that.

I'm not sure server and high-end compute demand is sufficient to pay for the R&D that would be required to far beyond 7nm.

But the good news is that we haven't even scratched the surface of what current systems could theoretically accomplish. Look into the demo scene and prepare to be blown away by what 8-bit CPUs in the 1980s could accomplish with non-crap code running on them. Maybe we need a software Moore's Law to take over for the hardware one -- right now software has more of an erooM's Law.

One thing is clear: if you do software, ball's in your court either way. Either you need to invent killer apps to keep demand high for high performance computers -- things that really need that much power -- or you need to take over for the hardware people and start finding new efficiencies.

Ball's really been in software's court for a while anyway with multi-core... linear performance max'd out (for consumer chips) a while ago.

How did you come up with all the answers? Based from real life examples or?
This. I know that quote has been overused already, but:

"Almost all the successful microservice stories have started with a monolith that got too big and was broken up.

Almost all the cases where I've heard of a system that was built as a microservice system from scratch, it has ended up in serious trouble."

Try watching the videos in 1.5x or 2x speed on youtube. This gives you the same information density as reading and you don't miss the nice animations travisb mentioned.
I agree that showing the user that they are expending some sort of resource by voting will cause them to act differently or be more conservative with it.

An idea I've had is handling this behind the scenes by weighing the votes accordingly. Let's say each user only has 1,000 "points" but infinite votes. Votes 1,000 times? Each vote == 1 point. Just vote once? That vote is worth 1000x as much as the other guy. Spam a million votes on everything, and each one is basically worthless.

Of course, handling it exactly like that is way too simple, it would need to be balanced more carefully than that. In that naive example, someone who reddits for 5 minutes per month and votes once has as much power as someone online 24/7. Users would also be able to figure out how the system works if scores are visible in some way.

The specific use I played with this for (but never got around to finishing the project) was for movie reviews. There are people who will rate 50% of moves 5-stars and 50% of movies 1-star, but never in between. And some people who are much more selective and may give a 5-star rating to only a few movies ever. A 5-star rating from both of these users should not be valued the same.

It's a requirement in the sense that sharing a datastore would break the abstraction. Each service should be independent from the others, which necessitates a separate data store.

Consistency should be maintained at the application level if you want to build a robust service, because doing it in the database leads to a single point of failure (the database)
Given the current market direction with containerization and decentralization, I think using something that is vendor specific is probably a bad idea.
I'd probably create static ARP entries as well.

Not with some catch all disclaimer "By continuing to use this site you hereby agree to allow us or our partners to follow you around and log your behavior and sell your dossier as a product and or service..." Most of all, by fucking off if I tick the box that says fuck off I don't want to be stalked right now/ever.

An example of a thing that I don't mind is if Amazon or some company that I have a relationship with noticed the frequency that I buy certain things like pet food or some other consumable and started placing relevant ads at about the time I might need to buy it again. I'd also like to be able to reject certain suppliers. I don't necessarily want them selling that info to the vendor(s), at least not without anonymizing it.

An example of a thing that I recently found amusing/annoying is that I purchased a large ticket home appliance recently, and for a week or more after that purchase there was a huge increase in ads for that particular large ticket item, as if I might buy more of them or something.

An example of a thing that I absolutely don't want is to tracked by companies / affiliate networks / whatever that I have no relationship with, and who basically just follow me around and sell a dossier of my browsing habits to anyone and everyone who wants it. Even if that means I can't have cat videos for free, or have to pay a little more for stuff.
Co-Founder DigitalOcean Mitch Wainer Tells How They Amplified Their Growth
Hi George, welcome to Hacker News. If you're looking to join a startup, here's a couple suggestions on how to improve your odds when posting on HN:

- Make things easier for the companies you're trying to attract. Provide links to your Resume, LinkedIn, and/or Portfolio in your Ask HN post.

- A Jack of All Trades is a Master of None. You mention having background in Business, Marketing, Graphic Design, and UI/UX. Pitch 1 competency, preferably your strongest.

- Find ways to build experience and reputation in your current situation. I'm not seeing either based on what you've written.

Insanity. Cheap reproduction means "IP" is that much more destructive.

Mechanisms to stop plagiarism need to be entirely separated from laws against copying and sharing.

Are you one of those people who thinks we shouldn't have public libraries?? Freely distributed and shared ideas are a social good, period.
I'm upvoting you simply because I have had a pretty good day and because I love "Wouldn't It Be Nice". (In fact, Pet Sounds is an awesome album.)

I a former job, I was working on an application that did a lot of computational geometry, and I remember reading one day that then-current POWER chips could do floating point multiplication and division in a single cycle (plus latency for pipelining, of course)...
> Which is insanity that will never work. You will just end up in an endless cycle of the Grecian economy worsening, the Grecian debt rising, and more pleas for debt relief, as has already been happening.

So what will work? Do a haircut and then hand them more money? Will that work? Because that's what they're asking for. A third bailout is what's being asked for.
The Russians said they weren't going to pay Soviet debt and told everyone to get lost. So yes, this actually happens. Credit ratings fall, etc but that's it.

Unpaid internships can't involve the intern doing work for the benefit of the employer, which is what he's offering. Here's the six criteria test for unpaid internships from the Department of Labor:

http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.pdf

Virtually all internships in tech are paid internships. Colleges that run coop programs give credits for internships in addition to the students getting paid: it's sold to them as a way to help pay their college costs while getting work experience before graduating. An employer can't pay you in college credits.
Glad to hear it! Very open to contributions/suggestions!
Of course, there's many areas that I didn't even mention. Another thing in the same vein for upvotes that I sometimes think about is, what is the meaning of upvoting? Does it mean, "I like this," or can it also mean "I think this submission should be higher?" Maybe I think too much but I've refrained from upvoting posts I like because I don't think they should be higher than their current position.
This removes infrastructure from the equation entirely. You already had AWS Lambda which could run small pieces of Java or Javascript code when certain events were fired from other services (all without running a server yourself). The missing piece was something that catches HTTP requests and passes them to a Lambda function. This service seems to fill that gap.

It means you do not need to think about x instances that serve your API anymore. You just upload your Lambda function, wire some API path to it and pay per request. For smaller APIs this will be probably be negligible. Could be a gamechanger!
The problem with the skyscraper wind effect
Life imitates art!
The Marshall plan was preceded by the Morgenthau plan which would have destroyed Germany's ability to ever create war again, reducing Germany to subsistence level farming. The Allied occupiers actually began destroying the German infrastructure, but it didn't work out however as Europe's economy had historically depended on Germany's industrial base and America and Western Europe needed to counter growing Soviet power in the first beginnings of the cold war.

It other words it had nothing to do with "deserved", Germany was rebuilt out of strategic necessity to face two looming threats to international stability and peace.

You need one more skill: You need to know when skimming didn't give you enough.

I see this with my kids. One of them skimmed the chapter in the math book, then asked me for help with the exercises. My "help" was: "Go back and actually read the chapter. Don't skim it." And that worked.

It can be hard to tell the difference between "there's nothing there worth my time" and "there's something there, and I have to read it more thoroughly to find out what it is." You don't get 100% accuracy at this, but you can (I think) get somewhat good at it.
Note that you are also getting voted down. Lot's of Amazon employees to hit down votes on people who say anything against them. This text may be grey. :)
There might also have been another reason for forgiveness: who had destroyed West German cities and killed thousands of civilians to no great military effect in the process (hint: not the Nazis).
Good point. What about the PHP SDK though?
I'm not blaming anyone, just comparing the situation in Greece and post-WW2 Germany. All sides committed atrocities, but the Soviets' were by far the worst.

West didn't "invested into West Germany from the begininng". Seriously, read the links I posted.

"Also, there's nothing wrong with forcing soldiers to rebuild what they broke."

Geneva conventions?

I'm not defending German actions or anything. I'm just showing that there's absolutely no way to compare Greece and post-WW2 Germany.

Why is it natural they pay smaller pensions? It's smaller in terms of how much money each pensioner gets per month that he's talking about, not smaller as in "total amount of money spent".
What's also funny to me is that 'thoroughly backtested trading algorithms based on hard statistics' will work consistently until they fail miserably.

During a recession event the 30% loss isn't real until you close your position, with trading algorithms the time to hold is so low that any losses are very quickly realized.
Agreed, but every 2nd job ad requires knowledge of some new framework on the block. I feel like I need to stay current to be employable.
This is a pretty big deal, even if just for the fact that this plus Lambda eliminates fixed costs.

Rather than running an API server 24/7, you can write your API as a set of functions that cost you money only when they're actually invoked.

There are other materials to make chips out of besides silicon, gallium arsenide and carbon for instance, each of which has different scaling properties.

Yes, they can fail. Lots and lots of them fail immediately due to manufacturing defects. And over time, electromigration (where dopant atoms get kicked out of position by interaction with electron momentum) will slowly degrade their performance. And sometimes they fail due to specific events like an overheat or electrostatic discharge.

But the failure rate after initial burn-in is phenomenally low. They're solid state devices, after all, and the only moving parts are electrons.
I guess what Germany went though can be described as complete change of the system (similar to Russia post revolution). Greeks merely elected a different government while keeping the system intact.

If they were taken over by the Troika who would do as they pleased, I imagine that would likely precipitate debt writeoff. The problem is that the Greeks want to keep things as they were / be forgiven the debt. That's mutually exclusive.
> How do you sell ads on open source code?

The code just shows ads. Users are free to get rid of them, but you hope they don't; perhaps you encourage them not to. (Note: webpages are often the same way; users can run AdBlock if they want.) If advertisers pay only for click-throughs to their site, then they know they're not getting ripped off.

> I know about ubuntu and firefox but was wondering if there are startups doing open source work and generating revenue.

Well, you said "famous". Once you're famous, you're often not a start-up any more. In any case, I can't think of any, but then I'm not really into the start-up scene.

As much as I agree with the point you're making, the total number of casualties for WW2 is generally estimated at around 70 million people (sad to have to say that, but it's give or take). Needless to say that not all of those deaths were caused by Germany itself. Though you could argue that their actions got everyone involved and, as such, the war started.

Also, it's not as much the "shitty socialist policies" (whatever that means, since Greece was until fairly recently, ruled by a conservative party) but the fact that taxation has long been a problem there, leaving the coffers empty and abandoning a huge chunk of the economy to hand-to-hand payments, tax dodgers and overall fraudsters.
It won't stop because there are lot of angry leftists (mostly Europeans) who are upset that Greece might actually be forced to pay its bills and what that means for the welfare state model the EU has built itself on. So they snip from the sidelines about nazis, war, banks, conspiracy theories, etc that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. Greece is something of a canary in the coalmine here about Europe's leftist policies. The economic situation in other countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Bulgaria, etc shows that there's a larger problem here. They don't want to pay their bills or cut services. They just want an endless gravy train and soon might suffer the same consequences as Greece.

Only the most wealthy, least corrupt, and productive EU states can have a proper welfare state and even some of them have problems with youth unemployment, job growth, low military spending, almost no defense against an expansionist Putin outside of the US Military (whose spending they are first to criticize), etc.

We're witnessing the end of the welfare state as we know it, and apparently a lot of Europeans can't handle that basic fact.

Apparently from the knee-jerk drive-by downvotes, they can't handle this comment as well.
I'm quite excited about the future of GitLab CI. We're working hard on it and with each release it's becoming easier to use and more powerful.

GitLab is going very fast both in terms of customization/integration and in usability. We've always valued a solid product that doesn't hurt itself by adding too many new features or configurables, but lately we've been spending more and more time thinking about the feel and look of GitLab.

Concretely it depends on what our customers and community request and contribute. Also have a look at our CHANGELOG for the upcoming release:
