A relative traveled to African villages. Currently, farmers shame neighbors who do not have neat & clean fields after harvest. His organization tries to turn that around; yields are better when harvest waste "fertilizes" the field. They are now "shaming" the farmers that cleanup their fields to raise the yield of the field.

> Mushfiq Mobarak, an economist at Yale University who has researched sanitation decisions, suggests that better-off people may be more likely to copy poor people than the other way round. If a wealthy person has something, you do not necessarily feel ashamed not to have it.

So the key is in shaming all but the absolute poorest. Interesting insight!
If we're talking about 1980s Japan, all of the talk about trade war could be a greater risk to Chinese stability. As with Japan back then, China's growth has been breathtaking, but it's also awash with bad debt from a banking environment where social relationships are more important than economic discipline. The weak links in their economy just haven't been culled.

If growth slows, reduced cash flow could put some immense pressure on their banking system as loans fail. Their bad debt rate was already thought to exceed Japan's at its worst years ago.

Then again, people have been predicting Chinese growth can't continue for years.

Anecdata: I have spent a great deal of time in Taiwan, and have not met a Taiwanese person who wanted to unify with the mainland, especially as long as the mainland was governed by the communist party. Let's not forget that a great deal of Taiwanese fled from the communists.

What is true is that many Taiwanese fear the mainland and think peaceful surrender is preferable to a military invasation by the mainland. Many Taiwanese fear that nobody will defend them if/when the Mainland invades.

Note also that the Taiwanese look to Hong Kong, and observe the slow erosion of the vestiges of democracy there.
That VP’s logic seems sort of circular to me. Young grads take the sign on bonus because that’s what the companies are offering.

Occasionally I go through my password manager to do a cleanup of accounts I no longer use. For the simple reason that if any one of those services get hacked, I don't want to lose credit card- or personal information, and have that end up in the hands of somebody who shouldn't have it.

In trying to delete a few accounts, some services outright refused to delete my info, without giving any reason. Therefore, I've decided in to create a naughty list of tech companies who don't respect your right to your own information.

No, you have it correct. Both major parties pretend to fight when they have the same goal (which is basically to finish the NWO project, it's a huge problem having powerful individuals, very inconvenient for the rest of the global power structures).

> to have more women running things

Females in general need infrastructure to be built for them before they become productive. This is IMO a problem, we need a proper equality not only in high-paying jobs, but also in menial ones, i.e. getting more capable female builders, miners, machine operators etc. Not just cherry picking jobs in management as you suggest. I think Russians did that after WW2 decimated their male population, so there is a precedent.

This article almost seems satirical. Given I can only speak for the hackathons I’ve been to; a couple in college and others at two of the big 5, I still feel like nothing about them is forced and people just work on whatever they feel like working on. If my company paid me to just work on passion projects of course I’d work into the night - that’s what I do already for side projects that I enjoy. And hell, if companies want to provide food and beer for a few days while I do what I’d be doing anyway, that’s awesome! I can see how maybe a culture of being forced to work on weekends due to corporate culture can be bad, but I don’t think that’s what happens. And yeah if FB actually does have hackathons over weekends and the culture doesn’t give someone a choice to not go that seems wrong, I just highly doubt that’s the case based on my experiences.

Having no-down-time when doing migrations is not an easy topic.

> These defer drops will happen at least 30 minutes after the particular migration referenced ran (in the next migration cycle), giving us peace of mind that the new application code is in place.

Pretty much that's what I've seen before. You do series of deployments + migration scripts.

Usually :

- Migrate with backward-compatible modifications of the schema

- Release application logic that takes advantage of both migrated / to-be-deprecated tables

- Possible extra migration to sync the new / old tables.

- Release application logic that stops using the to-be-deprecated tables.

- Migrate with destructive modifications to remove the old table.

Usually that's a huge complicated process which might be replaced with one migration and a few minutes of downtime. Sadly some companies can't afford it, so they do such changes with weeks planing.

I usually vote for having some planned non-working-hours downtime.

We do know that Federation citizens use non-Federation currencies. Barter seems to be reasonably common in the Star Trek canon.

My own theory is that the goods that are still scarce are utterly trivial, like Beanie Babies or Pogs circa 2018. Everything that you might reasonably want or need is completely free within the Federation; a handful of eccentrics might covet a rare painting or an antique, but the vast majority of people would see their preoccupation as absurd. A lay person might admire a rare painting, but they would see no reason to steal it.

I also think that Federation culture plays a significant role. It's clear that greed of any kind is seen as primitive and antisocial by the overwhelming majority of Federation citizens. We could draw parallels with the Amish or Mennonites - you can't have status goods in a society where displays of wealth actively lower your social status. The Federation is not just a post-scarcity economy, but a post-scarcity culture.

We could think of the time investment in things like holosuite programs as being loosely equivalent to the philanthropic activities of the very wealthy circa 2018, conferring no material benefit but a substantial degree of social capital. Designing a hit holosuite program might not earn you any money, but it would get you an invite to the Federation equivalent of TED. Joseph Sisko charges nothing for meals at his creole restaurant, but earns the respect of his neighbours.

This is a fascinating article speculating on the mechanics of the Federation economy:

Polygamy has issues with excess males that aren't able to mate due to high-status males having their "harems", leading to very violent outbursts as those disadvantaged males don't have any outlet for their energy and society basically doesn't care about them beyond slaving away. China was also pretty much decaying society, which was perfectly utilized by British during Opium Wars. The typical mindset in China was to keep their old, dysfunctional ways, and add western technological advancements without replicating the conditions which allowed these to be created first, a meta-algorithm that killed Qing dynasty and that lasts until today. These days the effects of unoccupied males can be seen in the Middle East. Is that a model for your perfect stable and just civilization?
> but even as a single, young, healthy person, $90k wouldn't feel very comfortable here.

WTF???? Where the hell does your money go? I felt _very_ comfortable when I was making $75k and living in lower Manhattan walking distance from my job near wall street, in a market rate apartment I easily found. And I participated in the culture of going out all the time, and built up modest 401k savings.

Really, where on earth does your money go?

I hate hearing bullshit like this because at the same time, so much evil that goes on does so because people "gotta make a living" ... Well, no, wasting so much money is a choice, not a need. And if you don't control it it will expand to consume any amount of income.

I used to know sales guys who made 7 figures but still fretted about money and did desperate shady shit at work to make more money, and treated it no different than a starving man stealing a loaf of bread for his family. Disgusting. Radix malorum est cupiditas, my friends.

> Talk to the Taiwanese themselves.

I have to ask, have you actually done this? From a random 2017 poll[1]:

>> Three quarters of Taiwanese people think Taiwan and China are two separate countries, while only about 14 per cent believe they are both part of one nation

Or[2]:

>> For Taiwanese younger than 40, pro-independence support reaches 84 percent. Perhaps most startling, 43 percent of the under-40 generation would support independence even if it meant China would attack Taiwan under the risk of war.

Polls conducted by pro-China and pro-Taiwan media typically have slightly different numbers, but the trend across polls is crystal clear, and matches my experience from living there for ~4 years.

It's true that the ROC constitution claims all of the mainland for historical reasons. The thing is, if Taiwan were to give up that claim, they'd probably trigger the PRC's anti-secession law and get sucked into a war. Holding up this territorial claim as a proof that the Taiwanese see themselves as a part of China is extremely cynical.

I think it's also a mistake to think that someone living in an RV is homeless: a) Is an RV any less a home than a mobile home in a trailer park? b) More people are opting for a nomadic lifestyle that combines the advantage of working anywhere with the ability to "see the world".

I also think that finding a dead-end street full of RVs near down-town Seattle might mean there's not a convenient Wal-Mart parking lot or a campground close enough to the center of the action. With the huge increase in campground prices, I'd probably be looking for safe, free parking if I was RVing full-time.

The question is the extent to which that is true, and whether or not it's the primary factor involved in a success.

Work hard => success is a simplistic and misleading mythology, not an evidence-based reality. It also leads to toxic relationships with workers, because if a founder or manager believes that more hours = success they'll make some very stupid business decisions and trash the quality of life of some of their employees for no good reason.

If hard work (how is that measured?) isn't a primary factor - and plenty of research suggests it isn't - then the realistic way for founders to increase their chances of success is to understand that factors that actually contribute the most, and maximise those.
The only real upsite is how easy it is to install and maintain. But that's hardly important with pretty cheap hosted solutions around (at least cheap in comparison to hiring several SRE to maintain the cluster)

Indeed - something like AKS can get you up and running very quickly, whereas as recently as 6 months ago unless you had a k8s wizard-guru on staff, there was no point in even trying to go it alone, esp. not into Production.

It also suggests that the skill set of the on-prem k8s expert will decline in demand over time, there will be less demand for people who can set it up from scratch on bare metal. We shall see!
