I might come across as ignorant but what is the relationship between Kubernetes and Docker, because when I was reading the article I tought of it as a Docker competitor, but further down in the comments, there is one that says they do different jobs.

And that confused me.
Totally agree. Never felt so free to go about my life and business as in Saigon. Watch out with physical businesses however, foreigners can get scammed out of their stake.
Read something non-coding-related, on paper, before you go to bed, typically for 1 - 1.5 hours. Almost always works.
Agreed.

Also, it's not even just about money, it's about success and recognition and accepting yourself, win or fail.
Heh that would be true. Although I'm sure this Paul certainly appreciates the page views the misunderstanding throws his way. That said, it is interesting to see Microsoft in the mode of catch-up. Took them a long time to get there.

You can't dismiss his "anecdotal evidence" then make a sweeping generalization that on average women are much less aggressive and assertive due to their upbringing and provide no evidence.

At least his comment was based on personal experience of successful women on his team.

lost on the generation that made "doxing" and revenge porn a thing

Ostensibly, "revenge porn" dates back at least to some of Hustler's columns in the 1980s. The practice of spreading pornographic images without the model's consent is doubtlessly much older.

"Doxing" is simply leaking one's personal information over the Internet. It's not like public outings have never been done before, only the medium is different this time. Doxing but only leaking to a client is basically the entire job of a private investigator, since the 19th century.

Basic decency and common courtesy were lost long before us Millennials, I'm afraid.
Thanks again - this is really helpful. I had talked to someone who had left Amazon but knew the internal workings who said ECS was Mesos just privately branded like Chef -> OpsWorks, but I guess I must have misunderstood.

Thanks for clarifying!
1. My school organisation creates a repo for each kid's project.

2. Kid forks the repo then starts working on their project. Normally they add in their code, and use the README.md as the written part of their assignment.

3. When they are ready to submit their work, they put in a pull request.

4. I can view the README and code if it's their first submission, or just view the diffs if they're responding to feedback and improving their work.

5. Feedback can be provided using GitHub issues.
I agree with you. In the end these are just words and these are inefficient tools for the task. But as opposed to being a call to action, it's purpose is provide a supportive thought.

Exercise, limiting blue light (really any light as darkness increases melatonin production) and mindfulness meditation are all excellent tools.
I understand it as "I know the situation is hard, but try to keep your head up (don't do anything extreme) because things will get better if you fight for it"
Damn right. We're gonna die anyway, so what's the point of a bit more health if you have to give up what basically makes you human.

Plus, depression, obesity, brain degeneration and everything else that self-control can fix should compensate really well...
It is still fair to expect there will be no illegal retaliation in the "do no evil" megacorp.

And, naive or no, it is absolutely reasonable to act as though there would be none, knowing that you may receive it, so that you can draw attention to it if it happens, because it is illegal.

This is, at least nominally, a rule-of-law country, and that law's been on the books for a long, long time.
This is not victim blaming. This is about the validity of a story that was at the very least poorly reported by Wired.

All we have is a one sided report from a former employee.
Kubernetes is a scheduler for Docker containers. So lets say you want the following:

1 x MySQL Master

2 x MySQL Slave

5 x PHP Server

1 x Monitoring Script

Each of those would be a docker container. Kubernetes would figure out which host to place them on and verify that they are running, rebooting them on another host if one of your hosts goes down.

I occasionally long for an anonymous/ephemeral social network that is not completely full of garbage (I.e. 4chan). I have enough Twitter followers that everything I say is subject to intense scrutiny, and that's kind of annoying. I'm tempted to throw together a quick, anonymous network targeted for tech people, but I wouldn't have time to moderate it.
I have this problem as well and can agree with other commenters that physical exercise seems to help. In addition to not getting enough sleep, I often dream about programming and my mind is reeling all night trying to solve some issue.
Yes, I have that same issue. Generally I avoid stimulants before bedtime and sometimes will read the news or some interesting papers before bed. I've also use meditation to quiet all the random thoughts in my head to make sleep easier.

Just curious, have you asked the researchers for their code? I've found that some people are willing to share their code and others aren't (some are just shy and embarrassed about how ugly it is, others have less justifiable reasons like it gives them a competitive advantage) Have you discussed your findings with them? Have you considered writing a comment outlining their errors (you might talk to your adviser about that)?

Refereeing is difficult to do well. On the one hand,in a Physical Review Letter, the article should be more broadly accessible, but on the other hand, it needs to be technically correct. I remember once reviewing a methods paper (different journal) and checking each equation and each integral (and finding a few minor errors) because it wasn't likely to be checked so much once it made it into a black box--but that took a lot of time! For myself, I've never had an editor tell me to "accept" a paper with errors. I have given a report and had the editor make a decision the other way, but that's different then asking someone to amend a report.

As for taking risk, I think the best advice I can offer is to have a portfolio of projects. I'm more senior in my career, but I did the same thing as a graduate student. Some things I work on have little chance of success, others more. This will vary by field and how expensive your needs are--but part of choosing an adviser (especially at the postdoc level) is choosing one that will allow you to explore your own ideas. I feel that my duty to postdocs is to offer some ideas that may work. If they have other ideas that they'd like to explore, then I view my job as to offer my expertise to support them...Micromanaging is too much work!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I apparently don't have that enabled. I could do that, but I'm pretty much ready to move to something else. The Feedly web app is pretty nice, though it has quirks and obvious bugs. But I shouldn't have to change half the settings on the Android app just to make it usable. I can't understand how they built this and never said, "Oh, this is really awkward." It's awkward enough that I pretty much just never use it. I only used the Android app again recently because I got a new phone and decided to give it another try.

Of course, maybe everyone else loves the interaction model and I'm the oddball. That's entirely possible, but regardless I want to find something else at this point. (Trying Digg reader as of last night.)
I agree completely. It presupposes that you're already strong and doesn't help you when you're not strong, so it ignores the real troubled time.

Everyone goes through troubled times at least 10% of the time. (yes, that's 4 hours of a typical work week) Learning to handle those is very tough, but achievable. If the best you can do is tread water until it passes, that's good enough.

And it's also okay for people to see us in our non-optimal states. It humanizes us to one another and actually makes us trust each other more than it "tarnishes" our reputation of excellence.
There is no wage gap. Men and women are paid roughly the same for the same position. Aggregate differences in gender pay are due to choice of career not discrimination. Time for this myth to die.
Suicide is also about more than just a failed startup. You don't kill yourself because your company failed; there were likely other issues such as depression that she was unable to overcome, though a struggling business doesn't help. If you're depressed, accepting yourself is hard even if you're winning.
When I'm balancing a single deployment across multiple AZs (e.g. US-East -> US-West), the latencies between the containers seem far higher than just the 200-300ms predicted by speed of light. Am I doing something wrong?
Agreed, renting an apartment is a business (most of the time), but subletting is a personal transaction. A business cannot discriminate outside of ability to pay the requested cost for the service/product. An individual can discriminate all day long.
Where I used to live you were not a business if you had 3 or fewer rentals, but you were a business with 4+ rentals.
"There is a vast, vast gulf between what the majority of software developers seem to think users want, and what users actually want."

s/want/need/2

Another truism: Users are generally resilient and will adapt to whatever they are forced to use.

There are some very strong ideas shared by developers about what users allegedly "want". But most of the time I think developers are just invoking the mythical "user" in defending their own choices in software design, not users'. Users have little if any choice.

Is it possible that those who purport to "know" what users want are simply observing how users have adapted to using what they were given? (the users having had no real choice of real alternatives)

As a user, in the cases where I cannot write the software myself, I try to find programmers who share my sensibilities in software design.

This is the best hope I have for finding software that I would "want".

Despite what any programmer proclaims about her users, what I the user end up choosing is not the the software I want (I do not ask other programmers to write programs or add features, etc.).

I end up with the software the developer would herself want and is generous enough to share with others.

Fortunately we have some interest in the same things: no gui, portable, small, fast, simple, etc.
> Was it life threatening? Hardly.

Uhh what? It seems you cannot go a week without reading about a pile-up on a freeway. Just last week a big-rig lost a wheel, it rolled into the on-coming lane, and drivers swerving and braking to avoid it actually caused a pile up. Stopping even on the shoulder on a freeway is considered "risky" by most police officers and many (like triple digits) have been killed while stopped in the shoulder due to vehicles drifting, failing to pay attention, or otherwise being distracted.

I cannot remotely begin to fathom how anyone can think a car going 0-10 MpH on a freeway ISN'T dangerous. And it is absolutely life threatening. If a car behind didn't notice the change in speed, panicked and either hit you or the concrete barrier(s) that could very easily cost them their life. Or leave them with life-long disabilities. Bigger things like trucks and those "road-trains" are even bigger liabilities.

Honestly I'll defend security research strongly in almost all contexts, but when you put people's actual lives in danger you clearly cross a line. There's no shades of gray there, endangering people's lives and health to effectively show off is absolutely immoral and should be illegal (and likely is).

Saying "well nobody got hurt" completely misses the point. It is the intent that is wrong, not the result. The result could have multiplied the wrongness of the intent and resulting in tens of years of jail time, but luckily for them their only "crime" this time was the intent of their dangerous actions.

And let's be frank here luck is the only reason nobody got hurt. The only reason why these two won't be in jail for many years.

That's an extreme generalization that's sexist against males and females. There are plenty of women with confidence and negotiation prowess and men that lack them.
> Of course, a movement is not directly responsible for all its fans and members - but among the advocates for the validity of the AI Chat experiment, the idea that out there is a mystical one-size-fits-all rhetorical exploit seems very much alive.

I agree, and I am totally with you on this - I disagree with that interpretation wherever I see it. :) That's not exactly Eliezer's fault tho, and I guess it's to be expected that geeks attach to "clever" answers. I do think it's a bit unfair to judge the entire site by the two posts out of hundreds that happen to be in all the news articles - which LW has no influence on.

Inasmuch as _fans_ judge the site by these two articles, I'm just as much against that. I don't want LW to have an aura of mystery; that largely defeats the point!

[edit] I think a big part of the problem is that online reporting selects for clickbait.
People's stories, especially people in disadvantaged communities, aren't "mostly trash," they're worth listening to. They're a way to know what's going on in those disadvantaged communities if you're not a part of them.
So, a HN commentator apparently called the cops on these guys after reading the Wired article.

Several commentators more or less agree, arguing that performing these tests on the I-40 was criminally negligent.

Stop right there. Grow some balls. These guys are elite, their demo was badass, and I've done stupider things on I-40 for no reason.

And wtf you called the cops? head in hand

Part 1: Building the Connected City of the Future
While it seems, at least through what the author reveals, that they were in fact requesting her twitter handle for background info purposes, requests like these may not always be what they appear to be. As an example, my wife and I recently enrolled our son into an early start program. One of the initial questions in the parent info section was twitter handle. As it struck me as quite odd that a publicly funded program would request this info, I asked why and for what purpose they would need this info for. I was surprised at their response - it's their primary means of notifying parents in the event of a closure, emergency, schedule change, etc. and for misc communications. They request the parents twitter handle and follow those who have children actively enrolled (via opt-in) to enable DM's.

Firstly, I hope for you that your project becomes popular enough so you can make money with it in theory.

When that happens, I would suggest going the way of Sublime Text: Unobtrusive, friendly reminders asking the user to purchase the software. From my own experience I know that it's difficult and extremely tedious to implement a copy protection scheme because it involves a whole lot of things you don't think of at first: how do you ensure that your license keys aren't posted on the internet? Does the customer need internet access to activate a key? What if the customer complains that the license key doesn't work? What about new versions of your software? Keep it simple.
Back when I was a consultant, you could always tell who was 5k miles away from a status threshold based on how many unnecessary meetings that required travel they scheduled in December.
"On the other hand, I'd rather that they be doing this work with the way they did it than not at all..."

That's such a stupid tradeoff. Putting it as an either/or is silly. Doing this safely and demonstrating the alarming conclusion are not mutually exclusive.

I'd go as far as to say that the way they demonstrated this actually diminishes the message of the danger of this exploit and put's the focus on their stupidity.
Sleeping takes practice like any other skill. If your bedtime is erratic, if your sleep pattern is erratic, if your environment is erratic, your brain isn't sure when it's time to go to bed.

Pick a time for a week and go to bed then regardless of anything else. Try to limit light exposure for the hour before sleeping (no phones in bed) and see if that helps. The more consistent you can be, the more consistent your sleep will be.
You seem to be asking whether epigenetic traits are inheritable. It will take a while for the scientific community to fully accept this since it smells of Lamarckism, but if we do not accept transgenerational epigenetic transmission it gets really hard to explain things like this: http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/12/01/mice-inhe...
I often struggled to sleep, I would sometimes lie in bed from 2AM to 6AM, only to fall asleep after sunrise, get a couple hours and then limp into work around 10.

Now I just take Melatonin in the evening ( http://www.gwern.net/Melatonin ) and sleep somewhat normally.

EDIT: I also use the flux app, and I reduced my coffee consumption significantly, now down to zero, but melatonin had the quickest and most observable effect.
A Redditor finally gets some good press. Oh, but it's a female, and we know what Reddit thinks of them. God help her if she's overweight, or non-white.

I dont think a lot of millennials understand the implications of posting personal thoughts or information on public websites.

I've never had any known repercussions from my posts but I know of 3 instances where people I knew have. Perhaps I dont know of an instance where I was looked over because of Social Media.

One was a person failed a class for saying "the final was so easy it was like I cheated."

Another person was denied a house to rent because they told the Landlord they didnt have dogs. Landlord checked their facebook and saw pics of his two large pitbulls.

The last person had a pic of them uploaded on Instagram while they were eating at work in uniform with their middle finger up (we worked at a restaurant). There was an investigation and person was suspended until it was finished. Luckily he didnt loose his job and was allowed to come back.

Be care what you post for!

Googler here on a throwaway. I personally know Erica and followed her career. it is quite frankly bizarre to see her biting back against Google given the opportunities she was given.

Erica was a tech stop employee, which is Google's help desk. in terms of technical ability, hiring standards for tech stop are lower than for SRE, where she ended up. every non-erica tech stopper, including me, who wants to transfer into the technical side of the org is required to pass a full suite of interviews, same as an outside candidate. it would be obvious from examining her submit history that Erica is not really meeting this bar. and yet a door was opened into SRE somehow.

she stayed a few months in SRE, underperformed, and spent a lot of time ranting on internal platforms. again, this is verifiable because commits at Google are public. she chose to join a team of about 50% women working under a female director, so I have a hard time believing discrimination is the major factor here. now she is gone and believes she was wronged and is telling everyone so. the similarities to michaelochurch are strong.
