>Also, maybe there aren't actual problems with the subject themselves, but rather with the environment in which they are trying to operate.

This is possible, but I've found many/most adults are observant enough to comprehend their incompatibility with local culture. However, a smaller percentage of them attempt to do anything about it (e.g. too apathetic, depression, etc.).

>By definition (and I share the original post's issues above), a subject in this state is already far enough out of calibration that they cannot self-diagnose issues, let alone work towards correcting them.

I disagree. I would split these people into two groups: Those who have self awareness and those who do not. And then, those in the self awareness group would be split between those who are ready to attempt change, and those who are not. This is harsh, and I hope I'm wrong: I think the non-self-aware are incapable of being helped or changing. I think that's the group you are referring to.

[Note: this assumes we are talking about the subject of the OP/article. More so than less psychologically healthy lonely adults]
> But what we also need is to immediately disallow the purchase of land by foreign entities that is not used for habitation.

Why limit that to just foreign entities? Also that's trivially bypassable, just get someone to live in the house; it's used for habitation now.

But frankly ending CEQA and capricious zoning boards (and all the other legal authorities/mechanisms that NIMBYs use to delay/obstruct housing) is a far more robust method of killing off this sort of speculative purchasing, since the only reason all this speculative purchasing happens is because there's a gross undersupply of housing and thus prices are guaranteed to increase at staggering rates.
Ah ok, I misunderstood - yeah it baffles me why manufacturers don't do this. I make it a point to fuse absolutely everything at work, it's a minor expense to save a ton of time later.

Last week I blew up a $100 CO2 sensor because I wired it in backwards. Entirely my fault for not checking the pinout, but a 10 cent diode or a fuse would have saved me.

This is the same issue with telescope controllers. Plenty are rated for 6V absolute maximum, whereas typical power supplies in astro, e.g. the power tanks, or LiPos are 9V or 12V. Boom. Another $100 when a zener would have saved the day.
I would've assumed that the company stating that the conversation would be recorded would already be their implied consent to all parties of the conversation recording it...but assumptions and law don't go well together.

where did you hear about this? :)
I think Amazon is doing the right thing here.
There is no reason to blame Amazon, since it's protecting other customers's right to serve content legally.

When we need "collateral freedom", we should change TLS, instead of asking Amazon to allow this by hurting more customer's right to serve content to countries like russian.
They are using the law for marketing purposes. I think that other websites too are doing the same.
This is more about expectations though. The idea is that you shouldn't make a request over HTTP to a .app website and expect it to succeed.
Scoop | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time, Onsite | https://www.takescoop.com

Scoop brings co-workers and neighbors together to enjoy a smooth carpooling experience—unlocking new opportunities to create friendships, improve their well-being, and make the most of their valuable time.

Quoting https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/items/detail/celebration-... :

"an invisible tetrahedron spanning the inside of the Earth with the outer four corners just protruding from the crust of the Earth. The visible corners are located in Easter Island, South Africa, New Guinea, and Greenland. Barr chose the locations as areas untouched by Western technology and in remote areas in order to bridge diverse cultures."

Yes, they placed little sculptures of the corners at those places.

Contractors are already overbooked. It's nearly impossible to find GCs willing to work on residential projects valued at less than $100k.
Yeah, so there's the crux. If you're starting from scratch and you design something explicitly to fit within Kubernetes's constraints and demands, and those constraints and demands work well with the specific application you're designing, it will, of course, be a pleasant experience to deploy on the targeted platform. The same is true for anything else.

If you make your goal to "build something that runs great on Platform", it shouldn't be a surprise that the new thing you made runs great on it. I've been talking about Real Things That Already Exist and Run Real Businesses. That's usually what we're talking about when we talk about infrastructure and servers, and that's where we see this dangerous cargo culting where people don't realize "Just use an Operator" means "just write thousands of lines of highly-specific lifecycle management code so that Kubernetes knows how to do your things".
I've observed all of these in the USA. I suspect this sort of thing transcends cultural and international borders.

Possibly amusing anecdote: I know a smart* technical colleague who wrote at least 2 PhD dissertations for former romantic partners. As in "best dissertation award" + famous people on committee + etc , etc. The former romantic partners went on to have distinguished careers in management.

* Depending on your point of view.
This is confusing because Mac apps literally end in that extension, and if I say Messages.app you would know what I mean.

Also, if I say “dingus dot app” it confuses people because that’s not a mobile app, it’s a site or web app.

It is perfectly understandable why Amazon did that and siding with oppressive regimes is of course not unreasonable at all.

Just unethical, hence the discussion.
Russia's butting heads with Telegram under a law that requires all service providers to yield their public keys to FSB.

Telegram isn't being banned over access to a particular someone's messages, it's over handing them everything.

Considering that Russia has banned all of Wikipedia in the past, among numerous others, it's a little naive to take Putin at his word here.

Cheating means to use dishonesty to receive something you do not deserve. Like stealing the answer key to a test and just copying the answers blindly instead of learning the material. Having someone else write as essay you were assigned is a clear example of cheating. It is also an example of lying to professors, but cheating is a more clear term. This isn't like telling a professor you like their shirt when you think it is ugly, this is fraud. If you are caught cheating in college the penalty is at least failing the class and can often lead to being expelled from the school. People caught cheating in law school can be rejected from the Bar (meaning they can't practice law) even if they pass their exams. This is a very serious thing, and I don't want to conflate it with a simple lie.

Can you explain under what circumstances you don't think my reasoning that "Helping someone do something immoral is also immoral" would not hold? And how those circumstances apply to this case?
I would recommend against running stateful apps in kubernetes. It's not really ready for it. Big problems include routing (it works fine for http requests, but not for DBs, message brokers, etc) and just the pain of setting up stateful sets.

I think people often overestimate how smart the compiler is. DJB had a slide deck about this: http://cr.yp.to/talks/2015.04.16/slides-djb-20150416-a4.pdf Compilers are really useful... but, if it really has to be fast, you still need to have a human in the loop.

I was also under the impression that there hasn't been much improvement in compiling C/C++ in a long time. It would be interesting to compare the performance of gcc from 15 years ago versus gcc today, on a real world piece of code. I suspect you wouldn't see much difference (aside from the changes in C dialect over time), and some added features in the new version. Has anyone run this experiment?

can't. There's a federal law from 1928 (I kid you not) that says no state can impair the ability of parties to agree to arbitration. The fiction is that clicking on a terms-of-service button is "consent" to all the terms therein, including arbitration and class action waivers.

California for years said such things were unenforceable but the US Supreme Court in 2011 struck it down. (AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, 563 U.S. 333 (2011))
TLDR: "Overall, Go's performance should be on par with a Galaxy S8 or better."

It's pretty much the same hardware as a GearVR with an S8. The big difference is that it is physically larger, so the thermals are greatly improved. Thermal throttling may be the largest bottleneck in mobile VR.
Whether it’s disappointing or not is always relative to what expectations were.
The Hacker News effect :)
You just said you don't understand the code well enough to discern which files matter and don't, then go to say it takes thousands of lines of code.

If you remove the generated code, and discount the tests, its barely a thousand. Much of it is the test code, and Go is fairly verbose for testing code.

It generally maybe takes a few hundred lines of code to write simple to moderately complex operators. A lot if it's generated and boilerplate. I would say a lot of that's due to lack of generics in Go, but I wouldn't say it's very much code overall. Additionally, the framework being presented here aims to reduce that down by removing the boilerplate, and making it easier to express the end goal (eg: self-healing, auto-rebalancing, etc) using less code.

It's certainly not much more code to implement an operator than what you would see in a well written Puppet module/Chef cookbook/Ansible playbook, and it does a lot more. You certainly could try to do self-healing using these tools, but it's significantly more difficult in my experience.

I agree that there's no free lunch and that you won't just necessarily get self-healing applications by using Kubernetes. But it's certainly easier to build them when using Kubernetes. The only thing that's really changed is instead of writing to a particular cloud provider API to handle this, you're able to leverage something more agnostic to the specific cloud/vendor you're using for your infrastructure.
> The hours you are talking about are night hours.

They have some overlap, but night hours generally begin before 9pm and end before 6am. But, in any case, it is possible to sleep during non-night hours. It may be less desirable, but banning sleeping in vehicles in residential parking spaces in night hours is different than banning sleeping in vehicles in residential areas which in turn is different than banning sleeping in vehicles.
Most app developers, sure, but most web server developers are definitely going to optimize for it - the cost of an extra round-trip is immediately noticeable in benchmarks. And most app developers are running a pre-existing web server to proxy to their code (whether via HTTP to localhost / within the firewall, or something else like WSGI or FCGI), not linking TLS libraries themselves.

Personally I think we should just go for the first one, which is why I didn't mention anything else. Proposition 13 limits should be for owner occupied residences only. This would go a long way to fixing the financialization of real estate problem, which is an often under-discussed contributing factor.

You'd get a lot less resistance there. You're not messing with cost of living for owner occupied homes, just second properties, investment properties, and of course all those foreign cash buyers using our real estate as a money laundering vehicle.
Yes. this is doing to infamous division by 10 using bit shifts as you will find in hacker's delight:
http://www.hackersdelight.org/divcMore.pdf.

You may notice that when you divide num by 10 you get a quotient q and a remainder r:

num = q*10 + r

Once you get q, you can solve for r as

r = num - q*10

So this is how you get r and q:

q = (num >> 1) + (num >> 2);
q = q + (q >> 4);
q = q + (q >> 8);
q = q + (q >> 16);
q = q >> 3;
r = num - q*10;
q = q + ((r + 6) >> 4)

voila!

Is this because the bites are actually making people ill, or are people finally going to the doctor for their illnesses because they have insurance?

Could this also be that people who live in mosquito areas are getting older and thus more susceptible to illness? (Since young people flock to cities on the coast)

They kind of alluded to this in the article, saying that people are traveling more, and thus spreading diseases to mosquitoes, but the data shows a dramatic uptick (pun intended) from last year!
