I was recently invited over a friends house to get together with a few others to discuss bitcoin and bitcoin opportunities. All mid 30s, non tech day jobs and people I would consider intelligent. They had no experience with equities, no exp

We frequently request account limit increases to 1000-2000 instance limits and get the same canned response. Though I bet in the earlier days capacity allowances for GPUs was probably more sensitive.

I think you and I have a different view of the type of entrepreneur this visa would apply to. I don't think a foreign startup with 1 or 2 employees is going to attract $250k investment from US investors. (source: I once started a tech

I'm not familiar with other countries entrepreneurship visas. This rule originally required $345,000 in investment from US based investors before the visa is awarded. The amount was then revised down to $250k after comments from the ex

The rules of this startup visa never made any sense. They basically ensured that very few potential immigrant founders would qualify and the ones that did were in a place where they probably didn't see the value in that path as opposed

As a hobby gardener and wannabe roboticist I've thought a lot about this problem. Before I continue I love this thing and am seriously thinking about getting one. However, a concern that I'm sure they've thought a lot about i

This is a very simple example. But we require setting the pid limit cgroup. Right now Kubernetes doesn't support this (again, just an example, there are a lot of things kubernetes doesn't support that we need beyond pid limits). S

Does Kubernetes support adding "middleware" between it and docker? ie when it comes time to do a container start, it calls my custom plugin instead of docker directly? I read the docs about extensibility and it didn't seem so

Optical sorting is pretty common in agriculture. Sounds like these guys do what you are proposing for pecans among their competitors: http://www.buhlergroup.com/global/en/process-technologies/op...

I'm with you on this. Of all of the teams at Apple/Facebook/Stripe etc I can guarantee there are at least 25% I would not want to be on, 30% I might not want to be on, 30% I might want to be on and 15% I would definitely want

Why does the media keep calling Levandowski a plain old engineer? If Levandowski qualifies as a nameless engineer the title should read "Waymo filing says engineer knew engineer had Google info." Levandowski is a well known tech e

The way Uber works now is it incentivizes the driver to give you a poor rating if you don't tip. By including the tip functionality in the app, and preventing the driver from seeing the tip before you are rated, it will remove this inc

I currently work for a large corporation. This is not 100% normal for everything. This wasn't a training, this was the fundamental employment status of the employee. I don't need to sign any paperwork to accept a raise or promotio

Why did the employee need to fill out any paperwork to be taken off of the performance plan? Shouldn't that happen at the direction of their manager? Feels a little bit like a deus ex machina.

If we accept your "unreliable worker" theory, have you considered that there are outside factors besides a lack of "work ethic" (which is some real quality bs to begin with) that would make a person unreliable? If you ha

My advice: - Never call yourself a Junior Engineer. If you have experience, even just a little, you are an experienced engineer. - Develop your communication skills. The barrier to entry to start presenting at meetups is extremely low, do t

Depends on your workload. If you have a constant workload, then sure. But if you have variable workloads then AWS/cloud providers are a no brainer. Source: 6 figure/mo AWS spend. We use pretty much every infrastructure piece in AW

Indeed. I have no sympathy for massive multi-national corporations when executive pay and corporate profits are as high as they are now. The world does not need any more corporate welfare programs.

I'd need a citation that a process running in a namespace adds overhead. My point about network virtualization is that it is not required to use linux containers. Yes, some container tools do create network abstractions that add overhe

There is a lot of incorrect information in this post. - Containers are a combination of namespaces, cgroups, and chroot (maybe). You don't need LXC to use containers. Docker doesn't even use LXC. - There is no overhead for running

If you have dynamic workloads, need to be HA, scalable and multi region, AWS is worth every cent. If you are running a webapp and a database with a known workload, not so much.

I think you are misreading this question. It is a merit of the organization and I think gets at the issue of lots of organizations using OSS, but very few of them actually contributing back. What this requires of the organization is to

The problem with this test and the Joel test is an employer can check all of the boxes (essentially do you follow modern software practices that were revolutionary 20 years ago, and are you "Agile") and it can still result in a to

Interesting objection. To me simplify taxes == simplify filing taxes. "I'm doing my taxes" does not mean I'm doing my tax code, but I am preparing and filing my taxes. As a lawyer and tax accountant, do you see a flaw in
