It's not that they force Kubernetes to be more complex, it's that they muddy the waters. I clearly understand that they're optional, and that they're an add-on essentially, but it might not look this way to a newcomer.

People are being encouraged to download a helm chart before they even write their first kubernetes resource definition. People might start using this Operator Framework before they implement their own operator from scratch (that's kind of the point) -- though honestly it's unlikely that they'll actually be clueless since it's for cluster operators.
Mark Zuckerberg Doesn’t Understand Journalism
That's true, but since there is an example (tens of them, actually) where it does work well, then the prior should be that it could and should work in the US, and if one thinks it wouldn't work in the US, it should come with an explanation.
Circulant Binary Embeddings
The point I usually see is that the US government healthcare spending per capita is comparable that of other developed countries with universal healthcare.
Not only is universal healthcare more moral, it has been demonstrated as more economically efficient many times over. You only need to start by comparing the per-capita costs paid for healthcare in the US vs every other modern nation in the world. The US pays more than double the average of the other nations and we get much less performance for it. There are no modern nations that pay as much as the US in absolute terms, nor as high a percentage of our GDP.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/health-costs-how-the-us-...

The other nation's systems have mixes of full nationalized care to administrative combinations of private insurance, so there is some leeway there. But all of them contain public controls on the cost of drugs and procedures. And that demonstrably works with both better prices, and better outcomes in total measures like life expectancy.

Edit: Btw the PBS article is from 2012, with data up to 2010. In later years, US life expectancy has had years which it has dropped, and even when growing, it lags the nations modern peers (while approaching nations such a Mexico..). There are some forces there that aren't all healthcare, but healthcare is central to life expectancy...

Despite having a mobile phone and being on the do not call list, I get 10 to 20 unsolicited telemarketing calls PER DAY.

Each one requires a detailed form to fill out on the FCC site which I send off into the oblivion only to have the call volume go unchanged (or increase). Sorry, tragedy of the commons and all, but it's just not worth it to me to take the time to do this.

Apple is focusing on the 80%, and have developed a strategic advantage based on privacy. This is not a new lesson.

Commercially this is smart and profitable, but it was at the expense of the 20%. The fact is that their products stopped meeting my needs. So instead of a apology, I would like to thank Apple for the lock in that took over a year to unwind before I could leave the Apple ecosystem. It was a harsh lesson that I will never forget.
Stealth startup | Ruby (RoR), iOS (mostly swift), Android, graphic or UI/UX designer, or PM | Silicon Valley + remote (we're flexible) | Full-time only | Competitive salaries depending on role, experience, and location (ranging $50k - $160k)

We are a stealth company, with millions in seed funding, founded by serial entrepreneurs looking to crack open the unyielding world of real estate and homeownership. This unique industry is riddled with extreme fragmentation and is plagued by a sea of uninspired product offerings. We're a team of seasoned operators and developers that loves to move fast and laughs in the face of nasty-hairy challenges that lie in our path. Home base for us is in the Silicon Valley but we have a team that spans eight countries. So whether you're in bay area, thinking of moving to SV, or are happy where you're at, we'd love to hear from you.

The most important thing we're looking for is a hunger to change the world. If you're an audacious soul looking to tackle one of the biggest problems that plagues our society today and yearning to join an experienced team at the ground floor, then hit us up!

We have a bias towards developers and PMs with a few years of experience, but if you're especially intrigued and self-motivated, then let us know anyways. Let's chat!

Email your resume and (optional) references/code samples to us at jobs <at> zilly.email
You're a very smart person, kudos!
Yeah they had a lot of deep institutional knowledge built up working with arm on the apple newton when Jobs was over at Next. Its arguable that if Apple had not already gone deep into Newton before Jobs arrived there would not have been the skills necessary on board to birth the iphone. While Jobs killed the newton he didn't lay that team off by any means they essentially flipped from Newton into ios, using the same arm skills they intially developed working on Newton.
Presumably not one that spends twice the world average per capita on healthcare like the US.
As I walk back to coding, I see my footprints
How many seconds have you, GP, and a couple of other commenters in this subthread devoted to thinking that maybe people who use password managers for everything find it not merely secure but also convenient?

I don't know about you but I don't like having to remember passwords. But people here can feel free to impress everyone with their memorized password they use on pizzahut.com, right up until they find out that they reused it somewhere important they totally forgot about because they don't have a convenient database of all the websites they have an account on.

Seriously, this counter-culture of being proud to have shitty passwords is the same mindset that makes antivax and climate science deniers a thing. You want to reuse shitty passwords, nobody is stopping you (I've certainly done it), but don't be proud of it and don't shit on people who care more than you.
Looks like you worked harder than I did to just come here and whine.
I'm just curious, how exactly you'd propose to change it?
They're spoofing. You might even find SPAM calls for your own number if you look. I got a text from a confused person with the same first 6 digits (area code + part of the number) asking why I called, and had to explain that I didn't.

Yup, this approach of using mostly similar numbers to the victim’s phone number is the new hotness in robo-calls. NPR had a piece on it last year - https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor...

Relevant quote from FCC Chairman Pai: “Which is the ultimate solution, I think, to this problem, which is to find a call authentication standard.”

And there’s no timeline when that’ll happen. So buckle in, we’ll be here a while.
(Yes: I have personally implemented IMAP, and SMTP, and in fact even Seieve, all from scratch. No: I did not find writing a fully compliant parser difficult, and I have no sympathy for people who seem incapable of writing one.)

> You can do it, and many clients have over the years, but you will sacrifice a lot, like the ability to search multiple folders efficiently.

By "folders", I will assume you mean "mailboxes" (as that is how most, if not all, existing clients and servers choose to represent "folders"). This was addressed in RFC 7377. I realize that you will argue "but what servers actually implemented that?", but the answer is "probably more than have decided to implement JMAP".

That said, JMAP has chosen to unify labels and folders into a term "mailboxes". The same solution applies to IMAP: I think a more correct usage of IMAP is to unify labels and folders into what IMAP calls "flags" (as opposed to what IMAP calls "mailboxes") at which point I think you will find that 90% of the struggles people have with IMAP disappear.

I realize that no IMAP server does this, but that is for historical reasons related to how mail was stored on disk and I think totally ignores what makes IMAP as a protocol interesting. I honestly feel like a lot of people just never took the time to understand either IMAP (or Mark Crispin) (or how to quickly write a parser :/) and then spent decades complaining about the annoying and limited ways people mapped semantics.

That all said, I would at least begrudgingly agree that for some simple use cases, JMAP is likely convenient for certain classes of mail consuming systems. But come on... to try to claim that IMAP is somehow not designed for online usage or is somehow broken for that usage is such a totally disingenuous claim that I will go so far as to say that it outright slanders the memory of Mark Crispin, who seriously seemed to believe people writing offline email clients with persistent caches that required synchronization were embarking on a "fools errand", and (for better or for worse) effectively assumed servers would always be better than local hardware.
Are you asking us to implement a strongly-typed, functional language in ruby and js? If not, please explain how you would apply practical functional language techniques in a dynamic language. By functional language I mean referentially transparent. By practical techniques I mean partial application, first-order functions, and lazy evaluation, among others.

So let's talk about healthcare in the US. Don't Britons have a moral obligation to get taxed and that money get sent to the US to pay for the US healthcare system?
Of course they’ll just charge you more. That’s how it was before, too. But when the premiums are so high that you can’t possibly pay them, there’s no real difference between that and being denied.
If only the United States had some kind of system of geographic administrative divisions similar to the countries that make up Europe...

> there is no definitive fix and there can't be - unless you accept the totalitarian single gatekeeper scheme Cyde describes.

Zooko's triangle is a triangle - decentralization is not the only thing we could sacrifice. We could even start to layer multiple naming schemes on top of each other to mitigate some of those sacrifices.

What OP (makecheck) was getting at was that the .app tld doesn't really solve any problems except to block one very specific injection attack, and it's problematic for Google to market it as significantly more secure than any other namespace. I agree with that.

The problem isn't that new tlds are unsustainable in the long term (although they are), it's that they don't even solve anything in the short term. Right now, at this moment, I can't credibly tell my parents that they should trust a .app domain more than a .com domain. Within a month of its release, people will be using it to phish older websites - because malicious actors will always be faster than regular users and developers.

If you're trying to block Sybil attacks, I wouldn't be that surprised if introducing new namespaces ironically ends up making the problem even worse.
I answer and ask to be put on their do not call list (or if it's a scam bot, I press the remove button).

People say this just confirms you are a real person, but I'm pretty sure they haven't tried it successfully for months the way I have. I still get calls of course, but it's a couple a week and not from the same parties over and over and over.
Cancer/cancerous et al are words that do not just pertain to the disease. Maybe you should get off the high horse for just a little bit.
Cancer is a bad word for this for many reasons.

Word choice aside, I agree many ICOs are scams, and in general I think it's not a great idea to give someone very large sums of money up front to build something, with very few strings attached. The immediate global liquidity of tokens is both good and bad. Having access to a lot of funding early on, especially with no accountability, even with most well-intended projects often leads to building the wrong thing, stuff people don't want or need, since there is less pressure to validate the product (for instance via revenue).

I would like to believe self-regulation and peer pressure, once transparency standards are established, will happen. De facto tools for governance and transparency of token projects is something I think is sorely needed, and it's something projects like Aragon - https://aragon.one - are building.

I think ICOs are an interesting way of funding certain types of projects that would not be viable through traditional VC funding - certain types of open source projects for instance. And I think we could see the token concept take off in unexpected places. But I hope the cryptocurrency/token ecosystem will move towards a more sustainable direction that generates real value for people instead of the casino like atmosphere today.

> Medicare is the universal insurer of last resort for elderly. Their lives would be much worse without this last resort insurer

That's a far cry from "people don't seek to leave Medicare", which is literally the original claim. By and large, people do seek to leave it, to the extent that they can, both legally and financially.

Yes, for people who can't access anything better, having Medicare is better than literally nothing, but nobody's arguing that. That doesn't mean that Medicare provides a good model of what would best suit everyone else, and that's the relevant question when talking about a single-payer system.

If you want to talk about a single-payer system and use Medicare as an example in support of it, you have to address the fact that privately managed plans consistently outperform Medicare on the top three performance indicators, and that patients themselves prefer all the alternatives to Medicare except "no coverage at all".
Maybe part of the problem is the mindset "banged my head on a table, time for the ER"

???

If you're young and healthy and you lightly bang your head on a table, you don't need the ER! It sounds like she wasn't even concussed! Sure, get checked out by a doctor, but this isn't a life or death situation, so don't clog up ER triage with your BS.

That's like breaking your toe and calling an ambulance.
Ubuntu 16.04 vs. 18.04 Performance on Six Systems – Phoronix
the best answer to the question “what happened?” is not "why don’t you ask a bunch of your friends what they think, organize their views along a spectrum, and then decide where to plant yourself"

Is the purpose of news and journalism to establish what happened?

Or why it happened?

Or what's likely to happen next because it happened?

Or what's important to pay attention to in the first place?
I have the problem of being the "moron" at your work. I wanted to just be a web developer. It's the only thing I'm good at, and I'm not even really great. Just functional.

But people start to ask you for IT related things because you are the "tech" guy. If your honest and say you need to hire someone to do that specific task, often people are ok with that.

I follow this simple guide when hiring someone to do something I don't understand.

1. Explain to me how you would solve problem X, in as many steps as possible. I make them walk me through it, and ask for more and more detail. Usually spending about an hour.

2. If they have no problems getting into the details, then we set a roadmap and schedule and I check in periodically to make sure we are staying close to it. If they can't stick to their own plan... I move on.

3. If they could give me enough detail to start with, and too much of it was, I'll have to do research or figure it out when we get there, I don't hire them.

4. This results with me having a solid bank of IT people I can outsource problems too, and in tern executives depend on ME to deliver actual results.

That doesn't sound awful, but it actually is. I get to spend extremely little time doing something I could potentially be great at, WEB DEVELOPMENT. And I know the people that work for me, think I'm an idiot and don't understand why they don't have my job.

I try to ask questions and get domain knowledge as I go, but unless you are a genius or spend many years, its just too hard to know everything. And I can't pretend that I'm an expert at managing people, because I'm not. I just do those 4 steps, and then try to be friendly. That's it.

I feel like I'm stuck managing a team of people, when I would rather be an intern for a master developer.

Why would they show their hand? There's little to be gained from it and it would harm their brand when these technologies don't pan out how they would want. See Google Glass - huge fanfare but no real substance.

Besides, we hear of technology that is supposedly being worked on inside Apple. Project Titan, the AR headset that is looking at a 2020 release date.

This is an excellent idea. For me, Pinterest ruins search in a few ways. First up. I don't have a Pinterest account. This means when I click an image result I can't actually get to the full-size image without logging in. Second, since all their content is stolen the original source of the image is pushed way down in the results (if it's in there at all). Finally, I get the feeling there are a lot of bot created Pinterest boards as images tend to be shown beside completely unrelated images.
Other countries’ socialized systems didn’t just pop into existence fully formed. I’m pretty sure the health care industry in other countries is about as old as ours.

In this case the naivete is in taking press reports at their word.

When Telegram sued, the court proceedings were published by zona.media: https://zona.media/online/2018/03/20/tlgrmvs . I have read them in full (in translation, but it was specifically addressed and crystal clear with regard to this matter). The transcript firmly establishes that it is factually incorrect that this matter is "over handing them everything". That was reported by some outlets, but the zona.media reporter covering the court proceedings complained that it was immediately misreported. There was a bombing that claimed fatalities, it was established that Telegram was able to provide the decrypted chats of the suspects, the FSB got a lawful order for those conversations, and I believe the relevant keys. (If Telegram really doesn't key its users' conversations using separate derived keys, their crypto is even worse than we thought!) Russia has a law specifically protecting the privacy of private conversations, and the FSB specifically acknowledged this right in court and specified that their order was lawful and narrow.

The hugely broad blocking is precisely because they are not getting into wholesale deep packet inspection. These episodes are embarrassing for them, as confirmed by recent statements by two of Putin's advisers, but they do it to pursue the rule of law. I am a fan of less government intervention in general, but if the government intervenes, I want it to be transparent and follow due process. At least in this case, Russia is doing that...it's just ridiculously heavy-handed.
The letter that released web technology into the public domain
Why can't I tell which side is up without looking at it or accidentally changing something? Why is the black IR sensor the same size, shape, and location as the charging port, but on the wrong side? Why can't it decide that a log press when it's upside down is probably someone sitting on it? Why is it too small to comfortably hold?
