> Anyone who has worked on vehicles knows the importance of getting the exact right tool to unfasten a fastener

If you're a pro auto shop, you can probably get your hands on all of the exactly right tools. If you're an individual, it's another story...

It's a matter of lag in the supply/demand loop. The moment Apple introduced pentalobe screws, or in general, the moment a different company introduces an unusual screw head, is the moment when you're very unlikely to be able to get your hands on appropriate drivers. As more and more products use the new head, the demand becomes big enough that eventually, appropriate drivers get available and cheap. From what I've seen, this can take years - longer than the lifetime of the first iteration of a product using the new screws. Enough to destroy end-user repairability for a whole category of products. After a while, the company will change screw heads again, rinse and repeat.

And the glue. That's just companies being assholes.

(Yes, I know there are technical benefits of using glue. They're especially pronounced if you don't consider end-user or third-party serviceability in your design process, and even more so if you explicitly try to eliminate it in your business strategy.)

Pfff, it's so annoying that the peasants started flying and visiting places like the Royals do./s

We peasant, unlike the Royals, cycle to work, recycle, don't spend million on candles on our yacht (yachts pollute much more per passenger), but must feel guilty for our once-a-year plane trip.

I feel the pain of climate change, but this must be a shared and planned action, not just a one-off "tells the peasant to don't fly" action:

- industries must change (and the aviation industry is creating cleaner engines [1][2])

- industries MUST be regulated (don't expect a corporation to act in the public interest)

- better public transport should allow us to leave our cars at home

- cities must be planned so we can walk to the store, park, etc

Tenderloin / Skid Row may be special cases where people with mental issues are most concentrated, but in LA it’s not hard to look around many areas (like Santa Monica) and see smaller homeless encampments in parks or people living out of their vehicles, etc.

In Los Angeles or the Bay Area the more affordable places get gentrified (Boyle Heights) and then the people living there who were just getting by financially may have nowhere to go, depending on their living and work circumstances, and the price of renting in other areas (which can be extreme).

> Nothing one person could ever do could hold a light to the amount of carbon released by industries.

I feel this creates a bizarre boundary between "individuals" and "industries." "Industries" didn't just magically spring up, created by an unknown exogenous force. They are created by, for, and sustained by individuals.

I want a iPhone -> I buy it from Apple -> Apple sources said iPhone from a host of companies wrecking extreme environmental havok. Because I didn't directly create strip mine the precious metals required, I am somehow absolved of all responsibility for the effects of someone else doing it?

It doesn't feel fair to lop on the blame on industries when we are consumers supporting them.

It's interesting you say that, because I had a good experience with stainless!

I used to use a lot of stainless bolts on machines that went into hostile[1] environments. We used a variety of hex socket bolts, with thread lock compounds and calibrated torgue drivers to put them in and uncalibrated drivers to take them out when they eventually came back for refurb.

We rarely had problems putting them in or taking them out.

I don't know why problems were so rare. I think it being a safety critical industry helped: we bought expensive bolts and tools, and people had some training to use them.

Bitcoin fees were cut in half on a technical level by those that chose to adopt segwit which made transactions roughly half as big. Schnoor signatures can further compress transactions to get even more in a block.

If in spite of these innovations blocks end up full, a block size increase is still a tool kept in reserve.

In reality BCH did not make any hard won technical innovations and simply reached for the bigger blocks knob. If BCH did become the globally adopted winner its blocks would fill and create a fee market eventually too driving it to seek the same sorts of transaction size optimizations bitcoin has made. These roads might well converge in a similar place eventually.

I strongly suspect Layer 2 solutions are going to be needed regardless of the knobs fiddled on an expensive but immutable Layer 1 so we might as well all buckle up for that. Plus, atomic swaps in Lightning pave the way for decentralized exchanges which means even better anonymization and censorship resistance.

That is a big part of the value proposition of going through a publisher; Marketing is a big job... getting your book through to the various distribution channels is a big job. Personally, I'm okay giving up most of the monetary profit to have written a book that gets read and gets me recognition without having to do all that marketing work.

Nature did not state that you personally should do any particular thing. They only pointed out that travel accounts for 8% of global emissions and growing (and at current carbon emissions levels the world will be altered dramatically and irrevocably).

Individual people’s personal sacrifices are barely going to dent global carbon emissions. We need to tackle these enormous global problems systematically. For example, we might be able to substitute less carbon-intensive means of long-distance transportation, impose significant taxes on jet fuel, figure out ways of discouraging business travel by plane, or raise public awareness of closer-to-home vacation destinations.
> It's kind of like when someone tries to talk politics, but they can't stop using terms like "libtards" or "conservatards" to belittle their ideological opponents. They can't effectively communicate their actual message to you because they're too busy denigrating everyone who hypothetically disagrees with them.

I get the gist of your argument, I think - needlessly insulting people unrelated to your point just takes attention off of it. I'm not so sure it's the same thing. Usually, when people talk about "libtards" and "conservatards", they're strawmanning, which means their argument is not as logically coherent as they might think. I don't think Stallman is building a strawman here - he never speculates about what useds are doing, in fact, almost all his arguments are about Facebook.

It is precisely Stallman's argument that people are made into hapless pawns of a megacorp. The usage of the word is his point, and all the argumentation is to demonstrate why the usage of the word is appropriate. Think of a parallel to cults - it's definitely offensive and insulting to some cult members to be described as being part of a cult. However, when your argument is indeed "X is a cult", what words would you use? Would you shy away from using 'cult members' and 'cult'?

It's also not obvious that it is Stallman's goal to convince people who are happily using Facebook to stop using it - many of his arguments are about people being pressured into joining Facebook, through friends and relatives, and pressured into giving up their anonymity. His arguments could relieve some of the social anxiety those people are feeling("am I the only one that doesn't like Facebook? I should shut up and join..."), for example, and help them reject Facebook.

I'm pretty sure that Stallman wants an FSF conference to be a safe space where he doesn't have to hear people talking about "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux", or praising software hoarders.

Instead, "safe space" is all too often used to mean "I want to do something and won't let you stop me by saying it shouldn't be done here."

Varieties of Argumentative Experience
Some people develop their world-view up until their late teens/early twenties, then they spend the rest of their lives defending that world-view. Others adapt their views as they accumulate more information and experience. This leads to having to "change your mind" though, which can make the former type of person angry. If you keep changing how are they supposed to formulate ways to beat you in arguments?!

Some people at around 40 go "I was such an idiot at 20! now I know exactly what's going on"... without realising that they'll probably look back in another 20 years and think the same (I say this as a 42 year old dunce). I see the fractal parent of this in larger society - always looking back at the past and mocking how foolish people were. Every generation was more stupid than the one that came after it, their theories more ridiculous - right up until us. Finally we have it all worked out. Phew!
I’m sure you have worked this out but my technique is to scrape all the paint off very carefully, then crack the lock by turning the screw in the wrong direction. Sometimes I hit the screw driver with a hammer too. After the lock is broken, turn the screw the right way.

It's not about forcing a divide, it's about recognizing that you can't solve it from the customer side.

This is a coordination problem. Yes, all the individuals on the market for an iPhone combined create the environment for a bunch of companies to damage the environment. But in trying to tackle it on consumer end, you're basically asking each individual in isolation to make a big personal sacrifice (of all the personal, social and productivity benefits coming from a high-quality smartphone) for distant, abstract, and completely uncertain gains. Uncertain, because they depend on most other individual to decide the same way. Most, not every, so maybe I'll buy my iPhone but tell everyone else not to buy it - every single one thinks.

There are many other situations where this happens in life, and the solution is universally to not depend on individuals, but create coordination mechanisms that help force the issue from the top. Like environmental regulations in this case. Or worker unions in case of employee/employer power imbalance.
If you agree that there are hidden mechanisms that shape the inequality, then claiming that “only considering the factors that effectively prevent studying” is fair would require a great deal of certainty in knowing these factors. I don't know how effective “positive-discrimination” is in practice but to me it seems that its principle is to do what you say but with discriminatory features as a proxy heuristic for these “effective features” (this makes sense if you believe they are sufficiently immesurable IRL).
Regarding CRDs and core types like statefulsets: We could reuse them with CRDs too. We explicitly decided against it to give the user and the internal components the chance to work with proper abstractions. We for instance have a real dedicated REST-API, fully integrated into k8s, including websocket endpoints for console, vnc, ...: https://www.kubevirt.io/api-reference/master/operations.html. Regarding to networking integration and cluster administration our vms are transparent to the cluster to ensure seamless integration on the pod level.

We don't have every controller type available in KubeVirt, but we have for instance a VirtualMachineReplicaSet and an OfflineVirtualMachine (soon renamed to StatefulVirtualMachine): https://www.kubevirt.io/user-guide/#/workloads/controllers/R.... A VirtualMachineStatefulSet will definitely be added. Others will be added on demand.

Regarding disk: I am not sure why you think that there are special configurations necessary on the images to run a vm on KubeVirt. Maybe you can explain that in more detail. It is one of the core use-cases that you simply start your already existing vm without modifications on the images in KubeVirt. We support different volume types, including a RegistryDisk. See https://www.kubevirt.io/user-guide/#/workloads/virtual-machi... for further details.

And of course we support cloud-init: https://www.kubevirt.io/user-guide/#/workloads/virtual-machi....

It is true that we do not integrate as far with "kubectl" like virtlet does. We have our own "virtctl" tool which provides virtualization related commands (e.g. "virtctl console", "virtctl vnc", ...). Some of them replacing a missing kubectl pieces, some of them adding virtualization specific commands. Having the deep integration is indeed nice. I just want to add that solely depending on "kubectl" is a two-edged sword. For some vms things work, for others not. There is a good chance that people have to modify their images to properly integrate with "kubectl" in the mentioned ways. That is exactly what we did not want.

Personally I think that there are differences between pods and virtual machines (arguably varying depending on what you do with your workloads). Integrating where things are equal and extending otherwise is a good thing. It allows very natural interactions.

I would be careful with saying that one or the other project allows running vms more as "first class citizen" in the cluster than the other. We could probably argue about that forever.
