How many businesses have a point of presence in Vermont? I can't imagine many, and if any do, they'd probably just move rather than comply with a law that would harm their business.

This strikes me as being largely symbolic and not likely to have much of an impact, unless other states follow through with similar consumer protections. However if Deleware were to pass legislation like this, that would be a lot more meaningful.
Disagree. OpenShift and CNCF are arguably exactly that, but Kubernetes itself isn't. It came out of the engineering team at Google, and its technical merit shouldn't be confused with the considerable marketing effort being put behind it.

Docker Swarm is much more deserving of this kind of cynicism -- a weak, badly designed solution forced on users by a company that's realizing their invention has been commoditized and is no longer a platform they control. Swarm was redesigned at one point to work more like Kubernetes because they realized it was a much saner model.

Kubernetes has more complexity, but it does scale down to single-node clusters.

I'd happily put up with a toxic work environment for double my pay. My costs are fixed so if I tolerate it for a couple of years that's a lot of money to put towards some major investments, it could easily pay off the rest of my apartment in a year.

IME places like this usually pay low to middle of the road salaries though, I suspect you partner may have avoided a bait and switch hiring process.

"Generalization of abstraction" sounds a lot like "a maze of twisted passages, all alike"

That's exactly what I don't like about some languages, if everything is a function, then it's all a big ball of mud. The only thing you can do with a function is call it.

I'd rather have classes of capabilities. Some things are callable, others are iterable, some are printable. But if it's truely about abstraction generalization, that sounds like a mess.
I'm not sure how commonly shared this sentiment is, but as a consumer/subscriber to many channels, I feel that the new changes could dramatically impact my user experience of watching content.

I'd hate to miss out on videos I subscribed to, and I'd probably resort to making my own subscriptions feed: setting up a script to scrape my favorite channels, and compiling a list of new videos. I'd probably end up discovering far fewer videos that I am not subscribed to.

We strive to live our lives based on reason, so we should look for ways to understand the world that go beyond a circular argument.

An exchange could mitigate this attack by also monitoring the outflow by 'age'. Delaying any large withdrawal of 'new' coins.

* AGE: i mean, how recent was the deposit of any coins involved in any transaction. So if I send a large quantity of Bitcoin Gold to an exchange (they are marked as 'new'), then if I immediately exchange them to Ethereum, the Ethereum is now also considered 'new'. If I try to withdraw the Ethereum the exchange delays withdrawal.

Things like this are the reason I stopped contributing to Wikipedia. People with no knowledge or expertise are able to change facts at will, maliciously or otherwise.

I would also argue that Kubernetes is less complex than it seems at first glance.

Yes, if you look at all the possible parts, and at the current monolithic codebase, there's a lot of complexity. It also supports umpteen cloud providers, volume providers, networking stacks, etc., and comes with a whole swathe of bootstrapping tools for various environments (e.g. AWS).

But if you strip it down, Kubernetes is "simple": There's a consistent object store made out of JSON structures, and then there's a bunch of controllers listening to changes to that store to make stuff real. That is the core. Everything is, in principle, controllers mediating between the data model and the real world. Very elegant and orthogonal.

You also have an API, a scheduler, and a thing called Kubelet that runs on each node to manage containers and report node-specific metrics. And of course you have Docker, though with 1.10 you can more easily run dockerless via containerd, which is a great thing indeed.

The complexity comes from the operational part, when the pieces come together. And as you say, there's not really any way around it.
I like the way it is explicitly described as "cordless".
Given the mountains of conflicting evidence with the recent financial crisis that has cost trillions and the crisis before that this argument seems to be baseless.

The linked paper itself goes into some detail to explore alternative explanations in good faith before confirming something of the opposite.

The idea that a revolving door does not have deep ethical implications with massive conflict of interest can be made in good faith only in an 'idealized' world, in which case everything is moot.
This is the ultimate key feature of Kubernetes. It’s 1000x better than a hosted closed source solution because you can run it entirely locally.

It’s amazing that the hosted option 100% mirrors the self hosted option which mirrors dev.
TL;DR; Kubernetes needs to continue to focus on the developer experience but it's good enough for InfluxData's new cloud offering.

I've worked from home for ~2 years now. Mostly in Pittsburgh, but for the last 5 months I've been working from rural Vermont. I'm not afraid that my social skills are decaying. Actually, I think they may be improving.

The biggest change I've noticed is that I have more social energy to spend with people I choose. Before, I'd exhaust all of my social energy at the office. For me this is great - I feel richer for having more interaction with people who aren't techies. Small talk isn't about the newest javascript framework or crypto currency. I have to work harder to clearly explain what I'm working on and why it's important and why it's interesting. Good social exercise.

I still spend plenty of time communicating with my co-workers. I feel like I'm less likely to fall into the office group-think now that I have a chance to tune out and think though problems independently. I'm more likely to say what I mean and ask for what I want. I think I speak more clearly now that I need to pump my thoughts through a narrower conduit (email or video chat).
A language like APL would make it much more attractive to program on tablets or even phones, though.
Kubernetes isn't supposed to be simple; it's supposed to be a box of tools that you pull from to represent literally any workload.

Once you know what tools to ignore, and build scripts around the ones you need, it's very powerful.

This line of thinking is like faulting the golang stdlib for having a lot of useful stuff in it.

That's a reverse tragedy of the commons: the happiness of the one. Twitter's (not Tweeter) shareholders can jump off a cliff as far as I'm concerned, you - and they - can't place their own interests over those of the world at large. They're a communications medium and one with serious problems, user engagement metrics come into play when what the users engage with is not outright propaganda.

Fake news isn't there to drive user engagement, it is there to derail societies and institutions that underpin those societies.

I became an advocate for GDPR after I started implementing it for the company I work for. I am an advocate for it because it requires companies to think hard about what they need the data for and whether or not it is going to adversely affect their customers.

Before GDPR there was virtually no downside for gathering private information. There was no downside for using that information to profile customers for any purpose you want. Now there is a downside: you have to tell the customer what you are doing with the data and you have to get permission to do so if the use is not related to the service that you are providing to the customer.

IMHO this strikes a good balance. You can still use the data, but there is a cost. Even within the organisation where I work, it has completely changed the way they look at this data. Previously the attitude was, "Let's collect the data and use it, because why not?" Now we're being told, "These are the only things we want to collect data on because we don't want to piss off our customers".

This is exactly what I want. I have in the past used Facebook's services. I currently use Google's services. I don't mind if their business model is destroyed because IMHO, on balance this way is better. I don't mind if people will have to pay for services like theirs. I'm old enough to remember a time where it was already like that -- it's really not so bad. Having thought about it (by way of being required to implement GDPR), I'm going to move to move away from the Google's et al. Having seen the transition in the company I work for, it's clear to me how much better it is.
Although I agree with the sentiment that we need more privacy protections, I don't believe that a ballot measure is the right way to do this. There have been several poorly written ballot intiatives that have led to various unintended consequences.
Ads are unsolicited untrusted information.

Though sometimes you want to get the word out about a specific thing. But this is where getting people's social circles hearing about something and trying it is important.

I definitely see a few needs for advertisement. But mostly down sides IMO.
Sure, but that doesn't mean WE should trust said systems. Whether those systems trust each other or not is irrelevant to the question of whether or not I should trust them.
There's a huge difference between institutions that have made mistakes and those that spread lies with abandon, there is no equivalency between the two.
This really cuts to the core of the issue. Consumers will naturally seek out the things they wish to buy. Nobody needs to be distracted from their activities to be told what to buy.

All advertising should be strictly confined to designated areas specifically intended for consumer searching.
I can give you a couple of examples, but be advised they are really childish, the kind of humor you could find around teenagers.

1. "A la larga te acostumbras"

Translates to:"You'll get used to it in the long term"

Hidden message: "You'll get used to the penis"

Explanation: "A la larga" could mean "in the long term" but also "the long one"

2. Someone requests:
"Pasame el saco" = "Reach me the coat"

The other person not finding a coat will ask "¿Cual saco?" = "What coat?"
Then the first person would say "Esta"="This one" pointing at his penis.

Explanation: "¿Cual saco?" Means "what coat?" But it also could mean. "Wich one should I take out?"

I hope I was clear, and sorry for the childish expressions.
Cambridge Analytica showed that they figured out that people who are highly religious can be manipulated easily. They are called them something like “low information” voters. Meaning they vote more on emotion vs facts. The fact that Trump got the religion vote astounds me as he seems to hold no Christian morality at all.
This seems a little too "signal, not help" to me. ~90% of plastic in the ocean comes from 10 rivers [0] of which 8 are in Asia and two in Africa - so reducing the use of plastic in Europe won't have any global impact and will probably have a variety of unintended consequences. But plastic in the oceans is a problem and so we must be seen to be doing something...

There are some number of companies making the same decision wrt GDPR and the EU, so it wouldn't surprise me. That being said, there will come a tipping point where it _does_ make sense and regulation like this is part of how it gets there.
Our startup is working on accelerators using FPGAs on AWS including memcached.

Using a single AWS F1 (FPGA) instance, our Memcached accelerator achieves over 11 million ops/sec at less than 300 microsecond latency. Compared to ElastiCache, the AWS-managed CPU Memcached server, our Memcached accelerator offers 9X better throughput, 9X lower latency, and 10X better throughput/$.

We need to batch multiple requests per Ethernet packet to get around packet per sec rate limiting on AWS. See more details here:
https://www.legupcomputing.com/blog/index.php/2018/05/01/dee...

If anyone is interested we would love to hear from you, we will be showing off an online demo later this week.

FPGAs are great for processing data at 10Gbps line rate with low latency. They are also good for compute tasks like compression and encryption.
Why trees don’t ungrow (2017)
Google uses Borg internally, and Kubernetes is really their third container orchestration system. After Borg came Omega, which was never deployed, but ended up being a test bed for a lot of innovations that were folded back into Borg. But Borg is a decade old and has a lot of warts (according to its designers), and with Kubernetes they aimed to learn from their mistakes and improve on the design.

As far as I can tell, the aim with Kubernetes was never to replace Borg at Google -- Google is far too invested in Borg, and it would take a considerable engineering effort to migrate away from it. Rather, developers at Google saw an opportunity to create an open source version based on what they had learned and help the world along in adopting the same engineering principles as Google has long practiced. Not all altruistic notions, of course -- Google benefits from the commoditization of containers indirectly, by undermining competitors such as AWS (where containers are still not well-supported) and making their own cloud the best fit for Kubernetes.

Google does run stuff on Kubernetes, via GKE. As I understand it, new products are encouraged to run on GCP. I don't know how many applications they run, however. Maybe someone from Google can comment.
On the upside - competitive pay and benefits with industry. Probably a tough sell for many.

On the downside - restrict employment opportunities for X years after being in a specific position.

Clearly both have issues, but regulatory capture is a problem worth solving.

It's certainly a lot easier to do "kubernetes the hard way" than it is to do "Linux from scratch", and I don't see a lot of FUD about how we should stop using Linux because it's too complex.

If you don't write your own billing system, either:

>Option one:

The group managing your billing system is going to take a cut of your revenue, and if you're really big, that's unacceptable.

One example: Stripe takes about 3% [1]. If you're a major commerce company like Ebay which made roughly 10 billion dollars [1] last year and you used stripe (and lets say you did no negotiation and just used their defaults, unlikely but possible) that's 300 million dollars plus change you're leaving on the table by outsourcing. This means if you're in a position like that and it costs you less than 300 million dollars to build and maintain your billing system (and keep in mind 300 million buys you a team of 2,000 engineers and managers all working at fully loaded costs of 150k), then you're not going to outsource.

>Option two:

You're going to use an open source solution. Risk aversion is the critical point here: If your billing fails, or gives out product for free, in many cases, you no longer have a business. You cannot afford to get billing wrong, and so, in an environment where no "It just werks" open source solution exists, this isn't really a choice most management types can stomach.

How would a news ratings agency tell you that?

The only thing ratings agencies tell you, is how the public voted on news agencies. (Or if the ratings agencies don't allow the public to vote, then the only thing they tell you is what THEY feel is "true".)

Either way, they are no more worthy of our trust than the media outlets they purport to be "rating".

It's EXTREMELY likely that they'll be just another cog in the machinery of professional manipulation campaigns. (For all we know, it's likely a professional manipulation campaign that wants to start the "ratings agency" in the first place.) That's just the reality of the world we live in right now. You just have to be skeptical of everything you see like that.

Is Kubernetes really scalable to a meaningful extent? I feel like if I was going to set up a Kubernetes system, I'd need to plan from the beginning to have multiple clusters anyway, and then the utility of all the scheduling features would be considerably diminished since I'd have to plan to load balance applications across the clusters in some custom way. Yuck.

The Kubernetes website (1) currently claims that it supports clusters of up to 5000 nodes, which is a decent amount but not enough to avoid having multiple clusters. Does anyone have experience operating multiple production clusters in a single territory as partitions for scaling reasons? What's the experience like?
