Bizarrely it’s sometimes another division of the same reinsurance company.

I work for an insurer and got talking with one of our pricing guys who told me about a case where one of the big multinationals had one division which was way under it’s predicted claims volume for the year, and another that was over. To rebalance the risk the US division ended up insuring the EU division.

Another story that night was about a reinsurer that through several departments taking on different risks ended up on the hook for a dockyard which caught fire catastrophically. And all the goods in that dockyard. And the boat which started the fire.

That evening led to my drunken catchphrase: “fucking insurance”, said ever more enthusiastically.

What's an "advanced testing skill"?

I believe good testing skills generally boil down to good coding skills: good code is (almost) always easier to test.

Be specific: what testing skills do you think you're lacking?
I see your point but have you met people with alcohol dependency? They aren't very social. Sure, most people do use alcohol in moderation as a social lubricant. But the people with alcohol related disorders frequently drink alone .

But your other question is interesting. I think it is an idea worth exploring and experimenting with, if only because the current ways of dealing with this don't really seem to be working. But what I would prefer even more is massive investment in medical sciences around research in addiction/drug use, and developing a somewhat more scientific approach to dependency problems than something like AA, which seems like religious horseshit. Instead of using all those resources to put people through the criminal justice system, if only we could use those resources for treatment and research....
Both. I would bet they are excluding conversions AND using conversion data to refine/lookalike new targets
This is such difficult but important advice. I've been sitting in nearly a year of unproductive meetings for a project that goes nowhere because of one middle-manager's abrasive personality and an upper-manager's inaction on the behavior. This problematic manager comes to every meeting ready to shoot down every single proposal in the most dismissive and belittling manner possible.

The problem is, as the author notes, the longer you let the behavior go, the harder it is to correct it. When I worked at the Coast Guard, we had an abrasive personality who simply shot down everyone else's ideas. Management's solution was to establish a rule that you could not criticize a proposal without offering a solution. Suddenly that abrasive individual started looking really silly blinking dumbly when they were asked, "So you've identified a problem. What's the solution?"

Do you think Climate Change is somehow going to help these people? Because it's also going to directly kill a lot of people in absolute terms.

The technology is here, using current levels of fossil fuels is not going to aid global GDP. It's really more a question of which groups end up with the proceeds and many very wealthy people would be worse off if oil fields become worthless. That's the push-back on this issue.

PS: It's not even a jobs issue, there are only 50,000 coal mining jobs in the US. It's all about infrastructure and owning existing resources.
Frankly, it's really difficult to talk to people that always run syntactic analyzers on everything written and aren't open to absorb the full context. Do I need to go step by step to talk what was wrong with the code? You are mistaking generosity (i.e. it has faults, but it was in a different age) with stupidity (I have no clue what I am talking about; despite writing my own compilers, writing self-modifying code in assembly language, using super duper optimizations in C++ that crashed compilers because nobody expected them etc.). Thank you very much and good luck with your literal approach!

Actually, reading that code was fun for me. I wish I could go so low level these days in the mainstream...

.edu also. I remember when having .com in your email was looked down on. Back when getting email (via UUCP) was more exciting than getting a letter in the mail.

My first domain registered was "Creation Date: 1994-06-01T04:00:00Z", and it was a total pain in the ass, involving certified letters and other nonsense.
Funny cause on email this is a solved problem (from a technical standpoint not a social one); encryption and digital signatures are easy. And it would be so useful to those industries too.
A useless product valued at $100B? Sigh.
Actually there are rules, at least in Germany, and I assume the same is true for the US. You can use a microwave heating gun, i.e., a device that shoots a beam of microwave energy to serve similar to a leaf-blower sized hair dryer, in the ISM band(s), which might be able to saturate the LNA in 2.4 GHz radios (depending on where it is placed relative to the band-pass), but you are not allowed to use a broad-band, not-caring-about-others telecommunications radio on the same frequency. For some lower frequencies I could use them to transmit power via a resonant, one-wire transmission line to a quadrocopter to save on the weight of insulation, possibly by using aluminium-clad single mode fibers to get data capacity at the same time, so I can reduce the weight of the tether reducing overall power usage, weight and size, but if I were to use the same frequency for a direct-sequence-spread-spectrum (GPS-style) radio-location-beacon network, that would not be allowed, or only within certain restrictions usually based on both EIRP/PEP/PA-in power and techniques that allow for friendly coexistence between users of the same spectrum, i.e. with CSMA/CA or restrictions to send only 1% of the time, averaged over e.g. 24h or so.

> They are instead provided out of the box by K8S, leading to fewer individual components to run, maintain and monitor yourself. You can switch out components at any level, from a single container running your favorite webserver, to a full service mesh, to your own custom controllers.

Fair enough, though I was misled by the word "replaces", which, to my mind, means something different than merely providing out of the box.

> Containers are much smaller than VMs

I don't disput that. I'm also well aware that size matters. However, you initial assertion was that it "removes almost all ops overhead" and that it is "much faster and easier to maintain" (emphasis mine), which merely increasing performance (as performed by computers, not humans), no matter the degree, doesn't do.

I'm still not seeing how the maintenance (done by humans) is any easier (or, for that matter, faster) than with VMs.

> Your comment amounts to a big "what if"

Only on the last sentence asks such a question. The rest of the comment asks different questions, some of which you've addressed above.

> Any competent technical leadership

This is a bit too "true Scotsman" to be useful. The question is what actually happens with actual leadership once a particular tool is in place. Does it encourage (inadvertently or otherwise) long-term dependence on the tool's ecosystem to the exclusion of those bespoke changes, or does it naturally peel away the leaky abstractions once they no longer hold value?

There are lessons to be learned from ORMs. Even early on, there was little (no?) controversy that the best practice would be to start off using them everywhere initially and replace them as needed. I don't believe this practice was followed, despite the pain, at least partially due to the perceptions of ease and consistency in sticking with ORM-everywhere.

> But you definitely don't need to unnecessarily worry about it

You may be conflating premature optimization (a strawman you detail in the next paragraph, which I won't address) and merely considerting the future, the "what if we succeed?" question, which is what I'm advocating.

I say it's quite necessary to at least think about the consequences of a tool choice in the context of eventual success, especially if the initial investment is high, but even if not.

All that said, I hope you've noticed, I'm not actually making any assertions about Kubernetes, just asking questions (and challenging assertions). I tend to take a position of skepticism with anything that seems to gain popularity through network effect, as it becomes extremely difficult to separate facts from hype, even in (especially in?) anecdotes.

Tesla is very very shady when it comes to vehicle damage, repairs, and treating their customers right. If none of you have heard of him, you should go watch RichRebuilds on Youtube.

He specializes in rebuilding and salvaging Teslas and is pretty big in that community. He has a few videos on the shady behavior Tesla engages in.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl2UjK6fJ1w

Tesla refused to do recall work on defective airbags in an owners car as mandated by the NHTSA until the NHTSA got involved directly in the case. They're literally willing to kill you to save a few bucks.
In the US, you can waive your right to a jury trial. When someone has a jury trial, it's because they elected to exercise their right to do so. They could have chosen to have a bench trial with only a judge. The state actually prefers for people to have bench trials because jury trials are more complicated and expensive.

Jury trials benefit defendants. If you think that your fellow citizens would sympathize with your plight, maybe even exercise jury nullification, you want a jury trial. If you think your case isn't likely to win anyone over, but that you can get off based on legal technicalities, you want a bench trial.

Judges are not always elected - it depends on the jurisdiction and type of judge. This is a complicated issue, but having seen firsthand how far the legal interpretation of the law drifts (because of the insularity of the legal community) from the popular sentiment that drives legislation, I'm strongly for some judges being elected. On top of that, appointed legal "expert" judges often do not deserve the respect you're according them. "Years of training in law and justice", in my experience, has the tendency of engendering in people a belief that they are better, wiser, and more right than anyone else.
Did it have any relationship to proto-digital-agency THINK New Ideas? I remember them from the 90's.
In the 90s my brother almost won a car. It was legit because he was part of the 10 finalists and the news media was there. They all drew keys out of a bag and tried to start the car until one of them started it. The key he drew didn't work.
It's unknown if wrapping cucumbers would reduce the % that goes to waste. It's also likely that the 12% of cucumbers that go to waste also include those that are shrink wrapped. Extending shelf life of produce won't matter too much, if customers are looking at the date which the produce was shrink wrapped and buying the 'freshest' wrapped cucumber.

The problem here is that if cucumbers are going to waste, retailers are not managing their inventory well. That means way too many cucumbers are being produced and sold to retailers. This is all in the name of profit, at the expense of the environment.

CO2 emissions are not the only environmental issue. While you may downplay the effect plastics have on the environment compared to CO2, it's still a problem nonetheless.

Even state constitutions are subordinate to federal law.[2] In essence, it is a conflict-of-laws rule specifying that certain federal acts take priority over any state acts that conflict with federal law

I’ve always had a fundamental problem with the identification of human knowledge with reality. I see this idea as identifying the function with its graph, in a sense. But that requires us to have a logical framework that will asymptotically approach reality. I don’t think that may exist.

For one, the uncertainty principle suggests there is no exact, fully determined reality.

Second, Goedel showed us that logical systems are either incomplete or inconsistent.

Third, there is more certainty in the past than the future - in so far as credible measurements may exist of the past and not the future. The present may then be the collapse of all those possible futures into a knowable past. There is a way to discriminate the past, present, and future from one another.

While we certainly have some helpful wisdom built up, I think the true nature of reality may not be known. There will always be a layer below or additional properties unknown, unknowable, or undecidable portion to the universe.
I worked for bbn.com back in the mid 2000's before they went out of business. BBN employed some of the smartest people I've ever worked with, but the company couldn't figure out how to keep the business relationships going. I remember having a conversation with my colleague saying "How does a company that invents the internet go out of business?"

I was eventually laid off along with about 30% of the company. I saw people who worked there for 18 years brought to tears because BBN was all they knew. My key take away was that experience was that no matter how impactful your tech company is on society, leadership's vision really determines the trajectory.

Spotify doesn't only replace the radio for me, it replaces CDs. I think on-demand plays should be worth more - and pay more - than ad-filled, ad-hoc, unpredictable radio plays.

I was similarly never willing to pay for HBO before on-demand streaming, but am willing to pay now.

Sandboxing (snap or flatpack) is more fragile than running the application in a GUI container. If you do not grant a permission, the application will fail. You will get to know about these issues from bug reports.

With a GUI LXD container, you can set up Wine as best as possible, then take a snapshot of the container in its pristine condition. Then, you can install Windows programs in the same container, or clone the original container and install each in a separate container. Each action takes only a few seconds compared to what you would get with Virtualbox.

If Meet fixed their end to use the latest standardized WebRTC instead of the previous Chrome-only flavor, I wonder why they refuse to let me use Safari? Safari supports WebRTC at this point. The site won't even let me continue anyway, it's forcing me to use a different browser.

> But if a billion people have to move within 20 or 30 years because large poor cities can no longer be defended against the sea or because technology to deal with desertification

That seems perfectly reasonable. Nowhere near doom and gloom. There's no doom there, that I can see. Moving a billion people is not that big of a deal, as long as there is incentive. The idea that "the sea" will push people around has been going on forever and doesn't cause mass migrations in terms of the earth. It's the food and distribution a population has to worry about that will cause trouble. Everything else is well within human abilities to mitigate (even when average lifespans decrease by a few decades).
Nice ideology. I guess you'll need to stop using all your favourite products - wouldn't want to be a hypocrite, right?
Webrender won't run on older intehrated GPUs which don't support the required OpenGL level ( 2.2? something like that ). For example it won't run on amy of our four home laptops.

I can't imagine them enabling it by default until that user base is next to zero. I suppose they might prompt the user to flick a switch if supported but they'll still have to support Gecko for some time.

Taxes will eventually get passed down to the customer no doubt, but that'll increase the cost for the customer, and hopefully make them think twice about purchasing it or go for other alternatives. When a 1 lb bag of carrots costs $1 more than loose carrots, you'd prefer to go for the loose carrots and BYOB.

A good example on how taxes help, is the extra cost you have to bear when you want plastic bags at checkout. Almost everyone I've seen at retailers bring their own bag. It also looks better.
> Wi-Fi Alliance is also introducing Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Easy Connect™, a new program that reduces the complexity of onboarding Wi-Fi devices with limited or no display interface – such as devices coming to market for Internet of Things (IoT) – while still maintaining high security standards. Wi-Fi Easy Connect™ enables users to securely add any device to a Wi-Fi network using another device with a more robust interface, such as a smartphone, by simply scanning a product quick response (QR) code. Wi-Fi Easy Connect and WPA3 represent the latest evolution in Wi-Fi Alliance programs to ensure users receive a positive experience while remaining securely connected as the security landscape evolves.

This is highly reminiscent of WPS. The language indicates that they've learned their lesson and focused on making the standard secure, at least in theory. Time will tell how well it's implemented, but history says to be skeptical and disable it for the time being.

This seems like a really unfortunate name choice to me. When I first read the title I misread it as Cloud Firestore, which just has one letter different to Cloud Filestore.
But consciousness picks out something different from self-model, world model, information processing, etc. That is to say, none of these things sufficiently describes the processes we refer to when we talk about consciousness. A replacement concept would need to capture everything real about the term. We can replace water with H2O in any context and it makes sense. But there are contexts where we can meaningfully speak of consciousness where self-model (apparently) doesn't completely fit, e.g. "the pain of my stubbed toe overwhelmed my conscious experience".

From a personal sample of one, I cycled 4 months on routes used by busses and developed a smokers cough - I've never smoked. I'd be surprised if that wasn't a lung cancer risk. I stopped after that. The worst fumes were from diesel busses though this was a few years back and they have probably fitted less polluting ones now.
