> I think it would have been a more strategic move to embrace Kubernetes instead of trying to compete with it.

Here's my theory.

Kubernetes is a product given away to entice you to buy a service from Google. (Edit: a better way to put this is that Google have nothing to lose and everything to gain from giving away Kubernetes, insofar as GCP has the best hosted Kubernetes offering).

Docker can't make money from a service, so they need to sell a product.

Thanks for pointing out the typo, fixed.
Regarding "recursion and condescension", that's just an unfortunate back-formation from a misunderstood pun.

In a lecture once upon a time, some famous Lisp hacker joked that, if you will, to recurse over tree structure is to "cons descend". A blue-tied Fortran programmer from IBM in the audience didn't get the joke, and walked away with the idea that Lisp programmers are arrogant jerks who even program via condescension.
What a trashy, incongruent rant of an article.

Regardless, a vast majority of their content doesn't include any reference to marketable brands. If the OP is accusing them of being a PR news agency, I have seen very little evidence of it. Questioning wether they are a business trying to earn a profit is incredibly naive.

However, if I was to criticize anything about their journalistic integrity, it's the tendency for their reporters to inject too much personal opinion. Though they do often succeed at concluding their pieces in a way that leaves the consumer considering multiple perspectives.

We don't have nearly enough (imperfect or not) media companies pursuing the types of stories Vice does. Given their willingness to publish exceptionable stories, it's no wonder there are significant attempts to discredit them.

Commercial use is a big one. Spectrum is extremely valuable and companies would grab it in a heartbeat. If you allow encryption, you have no way of telling whether a given user is operating commercial traffic - could be a ham, could be a taxi service running their dispatches in amateur spectrum.

For a preview of what this would look like, consider the push to run cellular service in the wifi bands (LTE-U). Wifi/Bluetooth/Zigbee devices are about to get crapped on, if Verizon gets their way.
Not for me. I agree!
I wonder if using Amazon's fulfillment service would help prevent against this. It is possible to get merchandise directly delivered to a fulfillment center from the vendor? It would be pretty easy for a seller to battle a fraud claim if they can show that they never got within 500 miles of the product.
This is about some routing protocol acronymed to LISP: Locator/ID Separation Protocol.

"LISP creates two namespaces and uses two IP addresses: Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs), which are assigned to end-hosts, and Routing Locators (RLOCs), which are assigned to devices (primarily routers) that make up the global routing system."

No relation to the programming language or the speech pattern.
They're draconian in some other areas, too, which affect regular customers. I was blacklisted from Amazon Payments, which I've only ever used to fund a few Kickstarter Projects. They will not tell me why, will not consider an appeal, and will not respond to further inquiries anymore.

From reading online, this is due to their use of Experian for identity verification. But if you don't have any credit history, as I do not, you do not exist within Experian's system and are automatically considered by Amazon to be a fraud threat and so are effectively cut out of the system and blacklisted without recourse, even if you're a longstanding good customer with other Amazon products.

When it comes to AI/ML most problems seem "doable over a few years". Yet in practice this rarely is the case. These are some extremely lofty goals. The team behind OpenAI is quite capable but to say they'll have any of these done in a few years is quite a stretch. I'm guessing they may achieve one of the goals in a decade. But I'd love to be wrong.

Its really a huge pain. The article author seems to have hand waved away several practical engineering problems like this. Also see his interesting hand waving away of the steam cycle as we know it, hand wave away molten salt moderator issues, etc.

Some things are a practical pain because nobody's given the engineers enough $$$ yet, some things are a pain because of basic physics and chemistry reasons. I think the article author is confusing those two. Certainly, the nuclear industry over the last 70 years has not lacked for money or brainpower.

I don't think so? 90% of businesses sell to businesses, not to consumers, and in that world it's more about networking than advertising. (You could argue that that's just another form of advertising, but at the very least it's easier to avoid).

Investment in Panama is probably a good bet these days.

>It really seems like you don't do a lot of node - which is fine obviously, but you seem to have very strong opinions about it.

The first part of this is a guess -- and it's wrong.

I can't speak for "most npm modules" (there are 200.000 or so -- i've only used around 1000, transitive dependencies included) but even those focused on specific high level tasks tend to depend on tons of lower level modules of varying utility and quality -- living them open to things like the "leftpad" fiasco.

And using "github and npm to track how active projects are before installing them" is not really an answer to the UNIX way described.

First because with UNIX you don't even need to check. You know all the basic tools, from grep and unique, to watch and make, are there for the long term (and have been for 3, 4 decades).

Second, because with npm, even checking for popularity doesn't tell you much. Even the most popular modules can be dropped by their authors, rewritten in just 1-2 years to behave differently, fall out of favor and languish etc. Heck that's true even for npm itself (e.g. the changes for version 3, like the flat sub-packages), gulp (see the way the new gulp handles dependent tasks and the new syntax required) and everything else.

Heck, 6 years ago Backbone was merely just released. And from then on we already went from it being most used and "hot", to Angular, React, React+Redux and who knows what's next.
The same could be said for eBay. Buyer of my MBP opened a claim against me cause I didn't include the OS install disks (which Apple stopped shipping years earlier). Had to bend over backwards to prevent this con artist from keeping the laptop and money. Now I don't sell shit on eBay.
So much of the nuclear reaction ends up just wiggling the atoms around, so it's tough to do anything smarter than a heat engine.

It is possible to generate power by other means. For example, you can use radioactive isotopes which emit beta radiation to generate electricity directly, since beta radiation is just free electrons.

With fusion (ignoring the important problem of breakeven) you have an energetic plasma, and you can extract energy using magnetic fields rather than with turbines.

For fission, the energy produced goes into moving neutrons and the fragments of the nuclei, which I don't think can really be captured other than as heat.
Our values do include dominating other humans. But they also include empathy, compassion, and morality.

Building a powerful AI without our values would be very bad. It wouldn't want to kill humans or dominate us. But it wouldn't care if we got hurt, either. And so it might kill us if we got in the way of it's goals, or if it thought we might be a threat to it (we could make other AIs that could compete with it, after all.)

So making an AI with human values - that is morality and caring about the existence of humans - is really important. If you build an AI without morality, it would just be a sociopath.
For me, keeping in view how other people look at the situation is the most important thing in effective communication. I've found PG's advice the best in this regard:

If you want to learn what people want, read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. [8] When a friend recommended this book, I couldn't believe he was serious. But he insisted it was good, so I read it, and he was right. It deals with the most difficult problem in human experience: how to see things from other people's point of view, instead of thinking only of yourself.

[8] Buy an old copy from the 1940s or 50s instead of the current edition, which has been rewritten to suit present fashions. The original edition contained a few unPC ideas, but it's always better to read an original book, bearing in mind that it's a book from a past era, than to read a new version sanitized for your protection.

I think you might like this (https://github.com/snwh/ubuntu-post-install/) project a lot.

Well, personally, I made my own project somewhat similar to the one I linked to but mine wasn't that savvy. Plus mine also installed stuff from npm (linters mostly), ruby-gems (jekyll blog), pip and grabbed some sources and compiled them and symlinked them to proper places using GNU Stow.

Good point.

I work a bit with PET-related isotopes, mostly fluor-18 and carbon-11, which has half-lives of 110 and 20 minutes, respectively. You gotta be careful with that stuff, the radiation (β-minus) is pretty dangerous if you're exposed for long (usually there's 5-30 GBq per vial), but again, it's pretty neat that if something happens (you spill something for example), you can just leave the room and clean it the next day without any problems. Overall, there's really no radioactive waste, since after 24 hours it's darn safe (and the FDG turned to sugarwater, literally).
I cannot acknowledge the decentralized bootstrapping problem, I'm sorry. It relies on the information from a centralized authority (i.e. source code) and therefore cannot be solved until the first one is solved.

I'll seed what will quickly be an enthusiastic crowd of spruikers for various platforms: have you looked at Cloud Foundry?

It's mature, has been scaled to 10,000 real app containers in a single install with a 250,000-container milestone coming soon, belongs to an independent foundation instead of a single company, runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, vSphere with more coming.

It handles routing, service injection, logging, container orchestration and a whole bunch of other bits and bobs. You can get started by just pushing your sourcecode, or you can provide container images, whichever works better for you.

We even made a version you can test drive on your laptop[0] and we've been working on a "bootloader" for spinning up a full AWS version quickly[1].

> That's not how risk works. You always get higher expected returns with higher risk.

You make investment choices sound like a law of nature. There are risky bets without high returns, and they have a hard time attracting investors.

> Diversification is a strategy for reducing risk. It's irrelevant to this discussion.

The more money you have to spare, the more you can diversify. Having more money means risky bets are less risky to you.

> High risk as a strategy is sound when you have little to lose. Like when you're young and poor. When you're old and wealthy, it is profoundly stupid regardless of what strategy you employ.

This isn't about age. If we talk about 38 and poor vs. 38 and wealthy, I strongly disagree with your argument. Risky betting with half your money when you're poor could make you go hungry for a week. Risky betting with half your money when you have a moderate amount could ruin your ability to have a carefree retirement. Risky betting with half your money when you're wealthy will barely impact your standard of living.

> It is exactly like being in a casino.

But it's not a good analogy unless there is an analogue to the poor person that you say should be engaging in risky investments. Are you saying a poor person should bet their money in a casino?

> the probability of losing your shirt

Oh, there's a bit of a disconnect. The rich person should not be betting all of their money. The reason it's easy for them to invest is that they can spare a big fraction of their money and even if it catches fire they won't lose their shirt.

-

I can put it an entirely different way. When you don't have enough money to be comfortable, the happiness/dollar graph is closer to linear. Once you have more money than that, it's closer to a log graph. Someone in the first group has a lot more negative consequences from losing half their money. They should go with somewhat-safe bets and the moderate gains will help them a lot. Someone in the second group isn't impacted much if they lose half their money. But they need huge returns if they really want to improve their state of life. They are a much better fit to the risky high-value investment.

I think (!!! the following not well researched, and part guessing) there is at least two different versions of tinnitus.

One is (the standard?) that you get from loud music and stress, which is the result of your inner ear / hair cells being damaged / misbehaving. Extreme-case: You permanently lose part of your hearing.

The second (rare?) is without impairment of hearing. To be honest you are the second person I know who shares my experience. And none of my doctors ever heard of this before. Most think I imagine this / or it's a psychological issue manifesting in your body.
I'd guess it's some kind of nerve pinching, maybe bones/muscles are involved too. Hard to say.

A few years back when I researched this I found at least one study with 10-20 individuals who reported this kind of tinnitus, but seems very rare. The result was something like "Many factors are involved in creating a tinnitus".

You don't generally build a large supercomputer to simply run a task faster than on a smaller cluster. The goal is to enable more realistic simulations by solving problems using a greater number of unknowns, increasing the fidelity of output.

So no, these machines are often used for problems which really do utilize the large-scale nature of the computers.

As others have pointed out, dealing with fraud at scale is really really difficult. As a result its cost are often priced into sales (either transaction costs or product costs).

While the privacy implications are large, it is an area where the more data around the transaction can identify systemic fraud. (which is to say organized group that spread their activity across a wide area to keep it below the radar of fraud detection algorithms).

In the case of phones, the seller has a lot of power. They can record the serial number/IMEI data from the box prior to selling it. At which point you can track where the phone is and if its being used. The challenge has always been taking action against the scammers. So perhaps there is a startup idea for a private investigation group in large cities that would go get scammers and recover merchandise. Such action would quickly reveal if the scammers were part of a larger organization or acting independently.
The verification could be on either end - maybe a packing & shipping service that verifies an item was packed (with photos, etc).
Amazon is complete crap these days.

It's a dangerous fire-hazard knockoff. Yet it's tagged in a way that will no doubt mislead people into thinking it's safe and "official". People were pointing this out months ago[3], yet it's still there on Amazon's store, no doubt along with countless other dangerous misleadingly-branded ripoffs.

This is fraud, pure and simple. And Amazon continues to profit from it, right out in the open. It's disgusting.

I sell my wife's and my old iPhones and Android every couple of years and what I do is take pictures of the serial number and send it to the buyer after they have paid for the device. Sends a message that I have documentation on what the device is and I can report it stolen if they try pull a scam on me. It also helps the buyer because they can check to see if the phone is reported stolen before even taking possession of the device.
