I have run kafka, postgres, cassandra on K8S but eventually I move off Postgres and Cassandra to normal server.

Ideally StatefulSet does help a bit. Such as with StatefulSet you have DNS and hostname like service0.namespace etc. And you can change StatefulManifest without updating the pod. Pod only get updates when we deleted it(OnDelete updating policy) or rolling update with staging parition which mimick real server behaviour where we can pause/restart process on a server.

However, what I realized is resource scheduling and EBS volume.

1. Soon I realized the node run db pod should only run db and I make a dedicated node pool for it.

When this occurs, It feels like eventually I'm provisioning a server to run this workload.

2. EBS volume cannot mount to other zone. So it really annoying when I kill a pod and it cannot start because the volume cannot attach to node in other zone.

And when we need to upgrade Kubernetes itself in an immutable way, mean kill old node and bring up new node. It's a pain to control that process carefully to avoid casscade node re-balancing/replication.

More over, the ability to easily goes in server and edit/tweak config is lost with K8S. We have to use ConfigMap, some trick of init container, entry point script to generate custom configuration file etc.

An example is broker id in case of kafka or slave-id in case of MySQL. In other words, I feel like running stateful service on K8S is no longer a joy.

Once I move these stateful service out of K8S, suddenly everything is so smooth. Running and upgrading K8S itself become a walk in the part.

Also, on AWS, when you have a large amount of server, the chance that you got AWS notification about node replacement/rebooting (old hardware, host migration) is very frequent. Dealing with these when all of node have stateful service running on is not easy.
This part makes it even more confusing:

In the battery compartment, nine trays were used to hold a 500 pound, five-foot-long lead-acid battery pack that produced 10 volts.

I guess it is 10 volts per cell, not for the entire pack? With 9 cells in series that would give 90 V which sounds close enough.

Still confused. :)
RIP the sick, elderly and very young that you interact with.
I'm still not a big fan to run stateful services in a platform mostly built for stateless . Also not a huge psql user , but replication and failover in psql has always been a half-done job, kube isn't gonna fix that.

There's a long tradition of that and honestly not really a 2018 thing imo. What it does say is that in the preceding years many people had exits and thus the raw visible numbers have gone up compared to decades past.

Ex: CEO of previous company (founded in 2007) as 3rd time founder didn't take money until the A round and was funded by his previous exits even though we were a semiconductor startup.
With some extra work you can extract the movie and place it on a plex server, now you have a searchable movie collection.
In case anyone is wondering why that doesn't help the OP's issue... In order for the potatoes to be soft on the inside, you have to gelatinize the starch. That means bringing the temperature up to about 60C. However, this results in a gelatin-like block -- no matter how crunchy the outside is. If you want the inside to be fluffy you need to subsequently crystalize the gelatinized starch. You do that by cooling it down. If you've ever eaten cold potatoes or rice, you know how dry it seems -- that's the starch crystals. If you then heat it up again, these crystals re-gelatinize, providing a fluffy interior.

It's often good to go through the cycle more than once, which is why you see recipes for "triple fried" french fries. I tend to like to blanch in salted water, freeze, blanch in oil, freeze and then fry. This also dissolves some of the starch on the outside and provides more surface area for the oil to create crunchy bits. Yeah, it takes all day...

Never been to In-N-Out, so can't comment on what they do.
Every mathematical object (ok, this is false but that's not the point here) can be constructed in ZFC (the standard axiomatic framework for set theory) so you can construct the real numbers in terms of sets (if you want more precise informations on this construction look up Dedekind cuts).

However this is irrelevant to, say, analysis, you could define the real numbers as the unique (up to isomorphism) complete, ordered, archimedean field and do analysis just as well, so I'd say that you are right in some sense and some formulation, but it's a bit of a stretch to consider analysis as starting from discrete maths.

I also don't see how set theory fits into discrete maths, apart from the basics it seems pretty far from the common structures studied in discrete maths.
Apple does pay a dividend. And gives even more money to shareholders in the form of buybacks. The total shareholder yield (dividends plus buybacks, divided by market cap) looks quite different for Amazon and Apple:

I chuckled when I saw this. Google processes and code reviews are extremely passive aggressive and very much inefficient, focusing on things that do not matter to the end user. Lots of subtle politics going to do the smallest thing. Lack of care and quality shows. Google is hardly what one would want to emulate. It may be a business success but that is about it; it's as dysfunctional as anything of its size.

Funnily the first core value is focus on the user. Almost no one there ever cares or thinks from the perspective of the user in decision making. Users are incidental to the things that happen there.

Kool-aid much?!

No, that's not true. I've heard of the GDR being referred to as socialist plenty of times in Germany. The main party was even called the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (Socialist Unity Party of Germany).
Don't add it to your list, buy it and read it. Carry it with you. It helped me a lot. It's a great book because you can open it on any page and get a nugget of useful information. It starts with the title and then a quote by either Marcus Aurelius or another philosopher after which it expands on that quote with some context. There's some really good (and easily digestable) information in there. I earmark the best quotes and so far I've earmarked around 20 pages.

1. Like many countries, China has long been relevant. Like many countries, China has long been gaining relevance.

2. Because they shouldn't

If instead of treating global economy as a zero-sum game, and if we backed off from the fear mongering and admitted that China's economic growth has largely (and unsurprisingly) been to most people's benefits, then we'd welcome the competition and innovation and productivity that China has and will continue to provide.
If your organization repeatedly rewards failure then maybe you should start thinking about switching teams or companies.
Except when it doesn't. Every so often it suddenly spams one with sheer number of captcha on sites that use the Google's Recaptcha API. Then you have to solve detect the houses, cars, store-fronts, deceiver plates and street signs several times successfully to move on or be prepared to solve several more captches to be allowed to move on. I would wish Google fix Recaptcha. It used to be so good.

#1 Seems more likely to destroy jobs than create them. It could be an engine for growth, but self driving for example have taken a long time and vast investment. It's useful, but seems to have limited direct benefits.

#2 is a broken window fallacy. It may create some up months, but you need increased productivity for sustained growth.

#3 Biotech has been around for a long time. It's a world of hard problems, and again you need increased effecency not novelty to drive sustained growth.

Like most things we only see one part of these discussions. It might be so that this have built up under several weeks/conversations etc and when nothing happens something needs to be done. In a non-cooperative there’s no boss you can turn to when you are unhappy with the situation, in linux’s case few other actual platforms to “turn” to. What do you do when, online, mostly only have your reputation to influence people.

I’m not defending Linus per se, but he do have a really unique position and it’s probably not easy to be in that position and AFAIKT it works. Maybe if it would have been someone else the world would look, most probably, rather different.

It’s really easy to criticize, but frankly none of us knows how it is to be in his situation and I guess he has to deal with his fair share of trolls, morons and energy thieves.

Some of the problems with dog breeding are due to the inefficiency of he breeding process, but others are simply the direct biomechanical consequences of the desired traits; for example the neotenous compressed faces of many lapdog breeds have consequences for mastication, respiration, and orbit shape that can't really be addressed without relaxing our selection for that particular look or accepting other tradeoffs.
As has been mentioned in the thread, just because it's not been frozen doesn't really mean anything. Frozen peas are just as good as fresh after all.

The freezing of fries can and does make them better, keeps the inside fluffier after frying as the ice crystals blow up inside.

A proper salary is one where the workers can live their lives without worries about money or having to work multiple jobs to make ends meet.

And 3 times the average for this kind of work in a place where 2 times the amount is the normal average is kind of crazy. And this should indeed not be an article to begin with but it is.

It doesn't help. You'd account for the storage at opportunity cost (you could sell it back to the grid at night rather than using it). So you'd get the same economics as just pulling power off the grid 24/7. At least for this application, the output was worth less than the marginal cost of the electricity during the more normal periods. If you kept it running like that, you'd be showing a loss even before amortizing the CapEx, so running it constantly would produce worse results.
In-N-Out truly seems to be in a league of its own. The one I frequented in Mountain View would consistently have a line through off hours. I would show up midnight and still have to wait.

Meanwhile, the Jack in the Box just down the street usually had about 3 cars in the lot, one for each employee.

It's very possible that $15/hr could kill a lot of less popular fast food restaurants, particularly in more isolated areas.
So you start banning people and make people scan ID or have security check it before you're allowed in.

I was shifting both bitcoin and bitcoin cash from an old wallet. I didn't notice any real difference in transaction time.

I agree with you that bitcoin derivatives (with blockchain) have proven themselves with a robust security implementation. But if you look at adoption, none of the cryptocurrencies really proved itself. Bitcoin was even dropped by some (such as Steam). And with the high transaction fees, you couldn't really blame them, it just makes no sense.

I also agree with you that RaiBlocks hasn't proved itself yet in security and scaling. But in my opinion, instant and free transactions is a total game changer. If these technologies are able to stand, it's a total game changer for all cryptocurrencies that focus on fast transactions and low fees. That includes Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin.

As for IOTA, I consider that tech in alpha stage. They are not trying hard to make it usable, but it seems they are putting all their focus on trying to build up a standard for the industry. All the partnerships and relations they have going on make sense. Is it usable for end users? No. But RaiBlocks is. And instant feeless transactions indeed could have nice synergy with IOT.

These are definitely interesting times. But I wish more focus would be put on applications and use cases than on the market cap of each coin.

Most people in the west don't try and find impartial information or counter arguments as generally people don't like having their opinion challenged. Worse still, many of the most popular news networks are also the the worst for political bias (Fox News, News UK (Sun), The Daily Mail, etc.)

Let's also not forget just how many people get their news from untrusted sources posted on social media and other similar communication mediums.

So I think it's a stretch to say things are significantly better in the west. If anything, people are just as badly misled here but with the added misconception that the free market and freedom of press means their news is automatically also free of political bias (or sometimes they do know but simply don't care because they had that bias to begin with)

Interesting also by the early 1900s a company called "Electric Vehicle company" was running up to 1,000 electric taxicabs on the streets of New York City.

Jens Olsen (Danish locksmith and (I believe largely self-taught) watchmaker designed and (partially, as he died before it was complete) designed what is to me the most impressive mechanical clock in existence today - Jens Olsens Verdensur, housed in the lobby of the Copenhagen town hall.

It keeps track of several astronomical events, easter &c - and is, as mechanical clocks go, allegedly the most accurate clock in existence.

It will only have completed its largest cycle sometime around the year 27000AD - as long as someone sticks around to wind it weekly and perform maintenance, that is.

Not quite the same philosophy behind it as the Long Now - but amazing engineering porn nonetheless, and definitely recommended to drop by if you ever find yourself anywhere near Copenhagen.

See, I feel the opposite.

I dream of working on something where the criticism is so honest. Where I don’t have to read between the lines to understand how big of a deal a person considers an issue. Pussyfooting to lessen the blow benefits no one in the long run.

I often end up running my code reviews by other people first to make sure they’re gentle enough because I know people are overly sensitive/attached to their work. It’s a stupid dance and such a waste of everyone’s time. If we could just be honest with each other we could build great things.

I single handledly blame this culture of being nice instead of honest on the total undeniable loss of software qualified across the industry.

His behavior and abhorrent and there is no excuse.

Does he owe you anything? Are you co-workers? Are you in his employ? It´s FOSS. If you don´t like it, walk away. The Linux kernel is his creation, his baby, and he runs the show. You don´t like his behavior? You don´t like his attitude? Fork the code, make your own mailinglist, get a bunch of people to submit patches, and knock yourself out.

I get that he is a "public figure in tech" and all that, but he owes you nothing - I failed to read the memo where he declared to act as a figurehead for proper behavior, or where he agreed to be an example or anything like that.
It may actually be correct (16 HP). Read on in the comments. 10A could be the wrong figure.

Not trying to invalidate your larger argument, but it's worth noting that there is no such thing as "trickle-down theory"https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2015/04/sorry-but-trickle-down....
Never was, never will be. It's a strawman through and through, originating in mockery, amounting to nothing more than "screw the poor" slogan that no self-interested economist could have endorsed. Its only purpose is to ridicule the perfectly valid – and hard – question of optimal tax policy that achieves long-term budget prificit without stifling development of businesses.
Hilariously enough, some less than savvy people with conservative inclinations have defended and adopted this strawman as if it was a legitimate model, but this has more to do with meme dynamics than with economic policies.

As for your larger argument, well, this is a just-so model. There are many different ones, in favour of different policies, of course. But, realistically speaking, constant growth of a developed economy was never possible. However well you reduce inequality or deal with automation-related job loss, there are limits to attainable market expansion. Stagnation or, at best, negligible growth are something we need to learn to face.
