Jelous? We've lost so many jobs due to free trade. They can call it any thing they want but the trade deficit cannot be explained by jelousy.

Pai will work for one of the big media (cable) companies like Comcast when he leaves office.
Google Venus atmosphere. Nature has already given us a model to use.

This is so true. We should just ban lobbying because it is only used by rich corporations and individuals.
Excellent points. Chrome has the best development tools. I used the dev tools so much that I just launch Chrome out of habit when I want to browse the web.

That's mind boggling. This is absolutely incredible. Our country has so000 much hot, sunny unused land in the west. Let's cover it up with solar panels and make use of the free sunshine.
Re:A Tutorial Introduction to Kubernetes on Thursday July 05, 2018 @05:44PM (#17467113)
How are you handling session management? After a user logs into the application are they going to the same instance?
You hit it on the head. Weave Net is participating in the Istio project. I hope they can bring WeaveNet to Istio. That might be able to provide a multi cloud vendor service mesh.
I see a lot of value in Kubernetes. For one thing I don't want to wake up at 1 AM if one of my node goes down and brings down with it important containers. If I scaled the environment with excess capacity then Kubernetes should start up new pods on the remaining nodes.

Thanks for sharing about hobby-kube.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Ask HN: How to comply with EU GDPR?

My application needs to store the user's first name, last name, and email address to customize the user's experience. Europe's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law requires that the application not store any data that can identify the user. Any suggestion how the application can comply with the law but also retain the customization based on an individual user?

Re:Young People Need Another Gold Rush on Wednesday August 30, 2017 @11:19AM (#15132844)
This is so true. The younger generation got hosed because the older generation screwed up in a big way. Our country had a chance to clean house during the 2008 financial melt down. The big banks failing would have caused a horrible economy but we would've flushed Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, AIG, and a host of other leaches down the drain. Check out the historical prices of Goldman Sachs from 2007 to late 2008 if you don't believe me. The market was anticipating the bankruptcy of Goldman Sachs and this company is supposed to be the pillar of Wall Street.

Our economy would have recovered by now but we live in an even more distorted world. Risk is not priced correctly because interest rates are too low. Take Amazon for example. They can borrow at low rates to acquire an overpriced company in Whole Foods. Had Amazon borrowed at say 8% then the transaction is a lot riskier. This miss pricing of risk is radically distorting the economy throughout the country and there will be bad consequences. Those at the bottom of the economy will have the worst time and that includes recent high school and college graduates who will be looking for the few entry level positions.
