Many unions don't demand dues from other people just to work in the same industry.

A lot of people here (not you particularly; just that I might as well say it somewhere) have a very stereotyped view of what a union does, seeing it as some kind of compulsory enforcer that ties its members hands and goes around stopping outsiders working. I can't speak for everywhere, but my experience of unions in the UK is very different. Maybe this union could be modeled on that kind of approach. There's also the German Betriebsräte style which looks really interesting.

For an industry full of people that spout about disruption and how things are different and what new technology can do to empower people, there seems to be this picture of "unions" stuck inside people's heads that involves Jimmy Hoffa sending some thugs round to smash up your workshop because you sold product without going through the union, and large mafioso "encouraging" workers to join. At risk of massively generalising, that picture seems strongest inside the heads of our US colleagues; is the anti-union propaganda particularly effective there, or are the unions particularly stuck in that stereotypical Jimmy Hoffa style?
I agree - but I'm now very afraid. I'm beginning to wonder if its not better to just swallow the pain and just go k8s.

I would love it (and pay for it) if Swarm says that it is a opinionated distro (ingress/overlay) + management layer on top of k8s.

The silence is deafening and not nice.
But here we are talking about Docker Hub closing, which is way easier to solve. This is the registry that is used as default (for all non-local images without a URL identifier, like "alpine:latest").

All you need is an option to set the default registry. Probably it's already there, didn't google.

That would be super cool, and I've noticed the branch protection features changing on GitHub, so perhaps they're thinking about this space too.
Instead of raising levies on cheap imports, increasing inflation for consumers, maybe America should concentrate on this new export opportunity. Maybe they can do a deal with China?
To be fair the UK had to introduce law to stop "closed shop" unions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_shop#United_Kingdom

> All forms of closed shops in the UK are illegal following the introduction of the Employment Act 1990. They were further curtailed under section 137(1)(a) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (c. 52)[7] passed by the Conservative government at the time. The Labour Party, then in opposition, had supported closed shops until December 1989, when it abandoned the policy in accordance with European legislation.[8] However, Labour shadow arts minister Thangam Debbonaire announced to an Equity conference in May 2016 that she favoured the introduction of a "limited" closed shop for actors, as part of Jeremy Corbyn's pledge to strengthen and introduce a new package of employment rights beneficial to employees.[9] Equity was one of the last trade unions in the United Kingdom to offer a pre-entry closed shop until the 1990 act.[9]
It's also due to the fact (which I also tweeted) that Kubernetes is not even supported on the stable release channel of Docker for Mac!
Comparing to Denmark, which has way better employee laws than the US, is weird regardless because of the difference in unemployment benefits and general safety net there is in Denmark. Free hospitals, free education, etc.

Its interesting seeing what the customer perceptions of data science/prediction systems are and dispelling some of the rumors and snake oil e.g. forecasts get less accurate with time so people shouldn't trust out of date forecasts that are forecasting a long way into the future.
There’s a reason I wrote “From the perspective of Joe & Jane Average” rather than omitting it.

Surveys have shown some people think they have access to Facebook but not the internet. You and I know they’re wrong, but makes no difference to their experience: if they lose their Facebook account for a rules violation, they suffer for it. From their POV, Facebook rules are civil laws.

Remember that normal people record clips of their favourite shows to YouTube with descriptions like “no copyright intended”. Normal people don’t know how the law works in their own country, never mind internationally like the websites themselves. They might not know what a civil law is, but I expect they would describe categories that roughly match criminal and civil laws, and put EULAs, bank account overdraft fees, etc. into the later.

President Trump tweets "my big red shiny button bigger than Gazprom CEO's shiny bald head!", a thousand verified twitter accounts blast him for bad international relations. Across the American web many different opinions are raised, debated, trolled, and flamewars rage for a couple of days. Someone posts an image edit of President Trump swinging his tiny hands at a caricature of Putin. There are cats. Nobody at Gazprom gets bothered at all by this.
You choose a funny example. I can't imagine the hellish nightmare that would be trying to email the DMV for support.

If Google ran the DMV we'd get our drivers licenses instantly delivered in digital form to our Android phones. We wouldn't have to stand in line or "take a number" and waste a day in a filthy office building packed to the brim with disgruntled bureaucrats.
Not necessarily. The backend system still has to be there in order to support all the countries where personals are still available. It's possible they just haven't finished disabling it in the US properly yet.

> Letting China browbeat businesses into submission for the privilege of operating in that market isn't a good thing

I don't think "letting" is a very accurate word in this case — Marriott could pull out of China (likely at a loss) but the company doesn't want to because it would be financially stupid. In fact, as a public company Marriott is mandated to act in its shareholders' best financial interests.
"sensible" is meaningless. Everyone gets to make up their own def. Parent is correct, the US is a free country, which means beyond some _very_ simple rules we don't try to think for employers, we let the consumers do that. That's the point of a functioning market.

I prominently tell companies why they don't get my business, and Marriott will hear from me next year when I call, waste their time gleefully explaining how I might have used their services but they fired a guy to kowtow to China.

Even better, this is gold on his resume.

In the US we don't pretend we are smarter than other business owners. The socialism route of adding regs to "fix" regs is self defeating. Treating people like fools makes them fools eventually.

This is already Swarm V2, there was older Swarm, which worked nice enough. It was equivalent of multi-host Docker run, which could filter based on constraints and do bin-packing, and had even support for multi host networking with etcd/consul/zookeeper.

Then, they cancelled it, no more patches, no mention of it anywhere unless you know where to look.

Then they created Swarm Mode, and add the concept of "services" which sucks compared to regular run because it lacked so many options the run command had, it took more than 6 months to implement most of them.

Not universally true.
Let's just say that AI research can be useful, and thus this use of GPU time and electricity can be useful; in contrast to the alternative alternative-GPU-use, which is not useful in the first place.
Geez, incredibly negative and even bitter. Sure, the deployment of Cloud Foundry is complex, but we're running 6 (OSS) clusters in production with hardly any problems in the last 2 years. The quality is not nearly as bad as being described here. The author seems angry overall, and especially about sales people making more money, which is simply a necessary evil of selling to enterprises.

Full disclosure: I am currently employed by another member of the Cloud Foundry Foundation.
> Well, "won" in quotes. I am not a k8s fanboy or anything, I simply observe that all the major cloud providers are offering managed k8s services that have superseded their own proprietary container-type offerings. For better or worse that's where the momentum is. If you wanted to containerize your stack right now, k8s then pick one of the big 3, seems like a safe bet.

kubernetes got released more than a year earlier. And it wasn't until 2016 that people actually started to take docker-swarm seriously. Thats a two year headstart...

docker-swarm would've needed several really impactful feature to offset that. It didn't really.
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).

But thats just my opinion as a user.
IRA limits are $5k, 401k limit is $18k. Right now, smaller employers have higher per employee costs for administering 401k than bigger employers. I wouldn't be surprised if large employers were even compensated in some way for access to manage (collect fees) from all of the large employees' 401k funds.

Ahh, there's the unrealistic part. Unless by "bothered" you specifically mean "bothered by government personnel"?
> what happens to adults who don't feel like making their own challenges or doing much of anything aside from having as many children as possible?

This is contradicted by the real world experience that when you give people education and contraceptives they really don't do this. There are not that many people who really enjoy the process that much - it's called "labour" for a reason.

Star Trek is likely to be the sort of utopia where boys and girls get reversibly vaccinated against pregnancy in childhood, and having unconsidered or large numbers of children is socially frowned upon.

Now, in Iain M Banks' Culture, it's spelled out. There is no space pressure and there are trillions of humans, but it's also sufficiently post-human that characters can get pregnant, abort a pregnancy, change gender, or get high simply by sitting down and willing it to happen, telling the nanobots in their bloodstream to do their thing.
Regulate that testing on public road must be done by a third-party who is certified. It's not perfect but would reduce perverse financial incentives...
This is ludicrous.

Traditions, as myths, are stories we tell ourselves. That is, social engineered stuff that stick around, because people care to keep them around, for various reasons (some, only for the ludicrous reason that "people told it that way before, we shall not change a bit of it").

Your civilization, our civilization, _has_ no future. Not one civilization on earth has had a future that spanned more than a few millennia. History is full of only that: civilization, as people, appear, grow, and die into something else.

They all evolved, changed, disappeared, what have you.
Indeed; that's certainly how it was, but now we can have something better. That's the old way, which I certainly agree had to go, although even that didn't stop someone else working in the same industry.

1990 is well before my experience, but soon enough I expect to be telling people how I was there for the crash of September 2000, before they were born.
Correct. That's up to that country, if they cant handle outside influence that's bad, and they and only they can fix it. We have our own trouble with it here... I am doing everything I can to stop us from meddling in other countries, and you wont see us going to war any time soon (despite the BS media owned by the war party).

What else do you want? This law violates my 4th Amendment, and as far as that goes, it's highly likely that it gets struck down given the chance, our latest SC appointment makes that even more likely.

Maybe it would have been more clear if I had quoted the "foreign law enforcement officials could grab data stored in the United States" part.
The question of "why are there companies rather than adhoc clouds of independent contractors" is an interesting one - see the work of Ronald Coase.

Why did you pick Swarm for production?

We followed Swarm from the beginning, but after a few releases at v0.4 it was clear not to ever use Swarm, and that it mostly was the Docker PR machine that made it sound nice, and not the actual features.

Maybe it got better later on, but the first several Swarm announcements seemed really off-putting to me.

We ended up on Mesos/Marathon, not that that has a bright future either, but it was at least capable of restarting containers from the beginning..

Just migrate to Kubernetes. It has won.
I've never heard anyone express that concern. Rather, I would think the reason why small businesses won't hire would more likely be because the wages are so high here.

You can quite easily hire for work for small periods, e.g. summer job style.
I don't think that you need to be afraid and migrate just because of that. Swarm is not a service, so if they stopped developing it then you'd have plenty of time figuring out how to move away because your Swarm clusters would not stop working.

Also, there are very large Swarm installations in production at large companies, so I'd be surprised if Docker cancelled the product (which is their flagship).
A department gets X budget, low-value employees making more money = high-value employee making less.

2. I am bothered if co-workers make more than me even when I am more important for the project and do more.
Think of the typical consumer of web apps, like people who run Wordpress and Shopify sites and click their backend together with tools like Zapier and the like. How can they comply without an universal protocol embedded into all the tools they use, without losing the advantage of automation? They have to delete stuff manually, and hope that the marketing tools they use provide options to delete it.

What GDPR does is that it makes starting your own business less attractive, and funnels people back into the traditional work environment. And by doing that they also reduce the amount of potential customers for smaller startups aiming at small business and these people.

>ORs evaluating left to right

There is only a single bitwise OR here, and no logical ORs. Whether they are evaluated left to right or right to left makes no difference in the execution of this expression.

Swap it left and right:

(1 > 0 | 1)

And you'll see that C still gives you 1, and Python still gives you False.

>we have something that is not False ORed with True

No. We have (in the original Python equation) 1 ORed with 0. That results in 1. Then that resultant 1 is compared ('<') with 1. That comparison results in False .

The difference between Python and C is that in Python '|' has higher precedence than '<', but in C '<' has higher precedence than '|'. Dennis Ritchie admits that this is a mistake in the C language[1]. Python (and Solidity) have corrected that mistake.

The reason that '|' should have higher precedence than '<' is the same reason that '+' should have higher precedence than '<'. Namely, people want to do arithmetic calculations ('|' and '+') then compare the result of those calculations ('<' and '=='). There is essentially no situation where it is useful to have '<' have higher precedence than '|'.

It wasn't Chinese culture that stopped them. It was Mao, the CCP, the tanks in Tienamen Square, and the more recently the ubiquitous propaganda and censorship (...) the brainwashers (...)

In the last four decades, the poverty rate in China has fallen from over 90% to below 10%.

http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet/images/ChinaSpecial...

Hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, most people have seen a radical improvement in their standard of living in the last decades.

Do you really think the main reason why they don't rise against their government is "propaganda" and "brainwash"? How many well-informed and not-brainwashed people would choose to support a revolution (with the associated risk of violence, chaos and deaths) when the statu quo is a fast, steady and practically unrivaled increase in everyday living conditions, even if the government is authoritarian? I don't think many would, regardless of whether their culture were Chinese or Western.

And doesn't seem to be economically viable for everyone to do, or we'd already be doing it.

The main financial risk for people is that cashflow problems can lead pretty rapidly to homelessness or health deterioration.
I agree with you completely. As I mentioned in a cousin-comment, I think Riot is probably missing non-technical aspects that it takes to go mainstream. I'd love to be shown otherwise though.
While I think it's a valid point I don't see this as a large issue for this platform: I think that many ML workloads do not require a fully-trusted environment as it's easy to verify the results after training by running the test set evaluation on a local machine. Also, many datasets can be transformed in a way such that they do not reveal much about the underlying data itself (e.g. by using one-hot encoding, removing feature labels, categorizing/tokenizing potentially sensitive fields like names, ...), alleviating data security concerns in many cases. Leakage/theft of your ML models/code might be a bigger concern here, though for many companies this might not be a large problem either as in my experience the models are often just slight modifications of "best practice" architectures.
I think the implication is that the stellar activity cleared the dust from the system preventing planets from forming.
The passing of exoplanets (planets outside or solar system) if front of the host star is not the only way to detect the planets. The most common method used to be the Radial Velocity method.

Essentially, planets and stars orbit a common center of mass (which often lies witching the star’s radius). This effect essentially wobbles the parent star. Because we know the constituents of the star and it’s spectrum, this wobble causes a period red and blue shift (the Doppler effect). From the magnitude of this effect you can describe a lot of the planet’s orbit, but not everything. For example: you can describe the minimum mass of the planet but not the actual mass.

I’m not sure if the have used the radial velocity method of this star, but assume they would have.

People see a cold war as a rivalry between equals. That's not the case. The Chinese are more adept at adopting existing tech and adding scale than creating it. This cold war is mostly one way. Their tech champions' strengths come from a potent mix of state-funded and support with local business acumen.

The attempts by the government to shift growth away from low-level manufacturing towards tech requires tech and innovation. Things that require the sort of the people the rigid propoganda infused education system is ill-equipped to produce.

The shortcut is to simply to let others develop tech, then copy. That's the essence of the forced technology transfers.

20 years ago, companies and governments believed them that the forced transfers is purely for the Chinese market and a fair deal. After that turned not to be true (read: forced tech transfers for the bullet train that China now uses to undercut the original in foreign markets), but that's not the case today.

If Trump, who I detest, can get the key European tech countries + Japan on board, they can dramatically increase the time and cost for the Chinese to pivot their economy. Delay enough and China's demographic time bomb of rapidly ageing people plus Xi Jinping's Maoist madness could well result in the Chinese economy stalling similar to the Japanese circa 1980s or worse. We'll have to wait and see it all turns out
