> But the same is true for founders and VCs

No, it's not.

A VC already has the finances, they aren't constrained by the original argument of "demanding" a higher price for their salary. They have already attained wealth and now choose to pour some of that wealth into funding other ventures.

A founder, is someone who has decided to push the gratification of (payment, rewards, whatever you want to call it) to the far future and that is if they make it. In the interim they will survive by various means, bootstrap, F+F round or they approach a VC giving up equity for investment and a salary to the next round of investment.

This isn't about who needs who. VCs or Founders don't actually need anyone:

A VC doesn't need a founder. They can setup a company themselves and pay market rate for the staff to fill positions.

A Founder doesn't actually need a VC, they can bootstrap the company and live off raman noodles until they reach profitability and in some cases keep investing into the company until it gets big enough to sustain itself and the founder.

The only class (if you want to call it that) in this scenario are the workers that need the VC or the Founder to setup a company for them to join.

> An entrepreneur doesn't hire workers out of the goodness of their heart and most (competent ones) will hire as few workers as they think they can get away with.

What is the problem here? This is how a company is meant to be run. If you want otherwise, it's now called a CHARITY.

> They've completely hacked the labor supply/demand curve greatly in their favor.

Have they? Let me know when they have guns to people's heads demanding they work there. There is nothing stopping someone from leaving and getting more cash/perks elsewhere. We are in the free market after all.

Free market, which I have pointed out numerous times and yet you don't quite seem to grasp this notion.

> Not really.

I don't think you understood the video and honestly, I don't know what you are arguing for.

This will be my last reply. I think I've said all that needs to be said.

I agree citations would be nice, but not having them doesn't make it false, just means you need to do the research yourself.

You claim here, and at other places in this thread, leftist bias in comments. And yet your entire comment reeks of Indian right-wing conservative propaganda.

Look into the value of coherence in moral philosophical standpoints.
It’s a systemic imperative of capitalism to externalize the costs of extracting profits from society onto society itself. Governments are incentivized to facilitate this because they have long been captured by and dependent on capital for continued support and existence. If there is a path for increasing profits by offloading costs onto the public, it will be pursued to the maximum extent.

But yeah, most of us who wind up shouldering the public burden of externalized costs to maximize private profit would call it greed.

Also: maybe I want to slum it a bit more elsewhere in Europe without having to have a specialized visa to permit my working somewhere without a well-paying job, which is basically a requirement for Americans in Europe.

Also also: the old world is really nice place to raise a child and is family friendly.
You’re confusing the facts. The legislature didn’t assign copyright to something in the public domain. The standards were preexisting, privately developed and copyrighted. You’re asking for the exact opposite of “plundering the commons”—you’re asking for private property to be taken for public use without compensation.

> clinicians elicited patient concerns, the clinician interrupted the patient after a median of 11 seconds (interquartile range 7–22; range 3 to 234 s). Uninterrupted patients took a median of 6 s (interquartile range 3–19; range 2 to 108 s) to state their concern.

I’m not sure what conclusions to draw from this. On one hand, I find that people who interrupt me make whatever I need to say take much longer. On the other hand, I feel that patients would be shy when answering, if they were asked broad questions, and therefore take less time to answer, possibly hoping for more guiding questions to follow.

Whenever testosterone comes up, I always think of the study showing testosterone levels change in sports fans according to whether their preferred team wins or loses[1].

The interest for me is not so much in the question of testosterone and dominance, but more to do with how mere perception of events whose meaning is entirely culturally determined can mediate hormone levels in this way.

Winning at football is very different from winning at a fight, that is - you need to understand football's rules to understand who's won, whereas the winner of a fight is immediately clear.

Thinking about it, though, I guess ritualised proxies for fighting to establish dominance (like antler fights, etc.) might be thought to occupy an intermediate position.

I checked this when it was first noticed a few days ago and it appears to be that someone at Google added "Trump" as a synonym to "idiot" (and possibly other words). A strict search for "idiot" (with quotes) didn't yield the same result (only one or two Trump photos with context to idiot). This does not appear to be someone "poisoning" the results with clever tricks like some have said previously.
I'm sure POSIX thought about this a lot more than I have, so I'm probably missing something and am about to say something that is actually stupid, but...

It should overload items of the form "x-y" in ranges where x and y are single characters in the locale in use. It should define specific items of this form as not being ranges but simply shorthand for certain predefined strings. The expression is treated as if those items were replaced by the corresponding predefined strings before the regular expression was parsed.

In particular "a-z" => "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Similar for uppercase. Include such a definition to produce each possible substring of length 2 or more of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Similar for "0-9".

The name for the variable that offsets the trade deficit is called "investment", but that doesn't mean it's really an investment. Some people say that they're taking on debt to invest in an education. My brother-in-law also once said he was "investing" in a new 60 inch TV, paid for on a credit card.

The U.S. is using debt to pay for current expenses. This is enabled by this foreign investment. Roughly, China's offer over the past twenty years has been the following: "You guys are pretty good at making things, but we're young and hungry for the job. You go home and relax while we do your job, and we'll just loan you the money you would have earned. Good deal, huh?"

The only problem is that eventually they will start seeing us as a bad credit risk, stop loaning the money, and we're left with a pile of debt, some broken appliances, and no recent skills. They wind up with some bonds that they may have to write off, and a highly skilled workforce and a huge industrial base.
Anti-Sea Sickness Glasses?
There's a lot of FUD in here, like suggesting that Google wouldn't use something written in Go for this purpose (lol,) suggesting an open source platform that can span multiple clouds is an attempt to lock people into GKE (lol 2x,) and suggesting that Kubernetes is "married" to Docker (CNI? CRI?) or isn't extensible (the entire gRPC/REST API? custom resources? device plugins?)

People use Kubernetes for the ecosystem, the "shit around it." They even formed a foundation for the "shit around it" called the CNCF. And if you think all of that stuff is just for GKE lockin, maybe take a look at gRPC sometime.

I don't disagree that Kubernetes is not positioned to be a replacement for Borg, at least not for many years. It has a lot to go and the Storage API is indeed a sore spot for the Kubernetes project in general. But this realization is a very long walk from "Kubernetes was designed to lock people into GKE."
I'm fine with being on the hook. The fires were awful, but for me personally the smoke was the worst. I'd happily pay double my electric bill if it meant I could breathe clean air.
The article hints that the effects of testosterone may be placebo, but at least physical muscle-wise, I’ve always found this study fascinating.

ISO is composed of people and companies that develop standards for other people to use. What is wrong with charging for that? What’s the other business model for paying for that effort? The “open” and “free” HTML standardization process, for example, has totally broken down, and now is “might makes right” (whatever Chrome does is the standard). Would that be preferable for ISO standards?

It costs money to develop standards. Paying a fee to access them (so long as you are not forced to by law) is just about the least objectionable way of paying for the work to be done.
So it descends from Borg, which is fine. It does not replace Borg or indicate a Google strategy to replace Borg with Kubernetes, which was my entire point with supporting points on why, and explaining why you made the choices in Kubernetes that were made does not dispute that at all.

I note you were careful to use the word descendant, instead of my successor.

What I mean is simple: Borg has borgmaster. Kubernetes approached the same concept like a Web application, and now Kubernetes has an entire SIG to play on the same field as Borg. It was a poor architectural decision, along with many others in Kubernetes, but I wasn’t discussing that. I was discussing why Google won’t replace Borg with it.
You have to own enough of the company to control your destiny. Which means if it fails, it's at least partially your fault. Almost no one but you cares if your business fails in practice. So yes that is not a great trait. I'd argue most assets are overvalued right now, but insider trading your own skills and connections can't be. No one can tell you the answer to this either.
Yes... but no one's making "general claims." This work suggests the technique can significantly improve the quality of the representations learned by existing architectures. Please don't resort to straw-man arguments.

How do you deploy your backend containers without downtime?

Do you host your Node app and PostgreSQL on the same machine?

I understand your frontend is hosted on Netlify and your backend on DigitalOcean: are they accessible under the same hostname (using Netlify proxy for example), or do you use CORS requests?
I didn't know that Ken Thompson was one of the first programmers to implement regular expressions (in the QED editor for CTSS). That explains why there is so much use of regular expressions and pattern matching in Unix! Now it is quite common to see regular expressions in many tools and programming languages, but when I started using Unix in 1983 I was surprised to see so many uses of regular expressions.
If the standard says the behavior is undefined, EBCDIC users can't complain if the standard later becomes defined in a way that is different from the way they've been doing it.
> Intriguing why someone would try to analyze a biological compound through a cultural / political / sociological lens without at least giving some reference to actual scientific research.

I don't think it's all that strange, given the situation. Testosterone appears to be a cultural and even economic phenomenon irrespective of its actual effects. There's a whole franchise chain of doctor's offices branded as "Low T Centers", which I don't think I've seen for any other biological compound. It's not a big stretch to say that people interested in that kind of thing are predominantly more interested in an experience than they are in a molecule. It's not entirely unlike "pot culture" or "drinking culture", etc..

React is a view library. It keeps the page to date with your data, much like Vue or Angular.

jQuery is a DOM manipulation library, so in a sense it is lower level than React. It abstracts the DOM implementations across browsers to provide a unified interface. It lets you do things like animations, and find element dimensions in a cross-browser way.

Today, developers are choosing React because it more closely aligns with the needs of modern webapps. Most browsers have become more standards-compliant so jQuery is not such a necessity anymore. React is a fast and readable library to keep your page up to date with your data.
> utf-8 is not a Locale.

Of course it isn't. What I suggested above is to use neither locales nor UTF-8, but code points. "a" = U+0061 no matter which locale you're in, and no matter which encoding you use. Every locale and every encoding is based on the same universal mapping of characters to code points.

Nope. The trade deficit is usually denominated in both goods and services, and those are the numbers I'm using.

I'm not talking about the dentist either. I'm talking about the overall U.S. trade deficit, not just with China. China is a very big component, but it's not the only one, and China is not the dentist that you see once a year, it's 1.3 billion people, and their products are pervasive on store shelves.

If your response is that doing math is not a legitimate means of economic argumentation, I'm not sure what school of economics you're representing... The myopia is certainly not coming from my side.

Economically the seventies were rather a mess. A wage freeze would be challenging with double digit inflation. I remember power cuts at other times throughout the decade, I think up until the Thatcher govt came in to push back the unions.
Sadly I find IntelliJ to be the worst editor I've ever seen. Slow, weird shortcuts, graphics problems, focus stealing. The downsides are so bad that it almost negates it's benefits.

> I don't disagree that Kubernetes is not positioned to be a replacement for Borg

Good. Because that was my point, but the verbiage “don’t disagree” says a lot. We agree, except for the timeline. We will all be dead before Borg is replaced with Kubernetes. You can take that to the bank.

Kinda weird to fire up a throwaway, presumably to conceal your Google credentials, then attack a Xoogler who used to work on Borg SRE (alongside sjh under Peter Dahl, and long enough my NDA has long since lapsed) and has run Kubernetes since it was able to OOM as I described, for spreading FUD. The term FUD implies that I don’t know what I’m talking about and I’m making shit up, while I’m one of the few people, including presumably you, who can actually coherently comment on both.

It can only span multiple clouds now because other clouds had to ship Kubernetes. Remember the timeline: hello world, we made a container thing. Now we offer it as a service. Now Amazon does too. Oh, we are now multicloud. Your rebuttals are quite disingenuous, and casting them with a mocking aspersion doesn’t sell your point. It makes you come across nothing like you intend.

Get back on your real username and stop being offended I criticized Kubernetes. I know I’m one of the few who does, but there are legitimate concerns, and sharing them toward a “why Borg isn’t going anywhere” point is a weird hill for you to die on.
I have long looked for an efficient metric for measuring VM pressure. Hope to see this, or something like this merged.

The U.S. used trade agreements to achieve a number of diplomatic outcomes in the post cold-war era, including closeness to Europe and China, to keep Soviet influence down. The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore though, and China is certainly no longer our ally against them. Europe's economy doesn't need us to provide a one-sided market for their exports anymore to juice their economy either. The purpose of that was to keep them from going red. Putin notwithstanding, that's not very likely anymore.
I think you miss my point.

PG&E may be publicly traded, but it's not subject to market forces. It's a government-granted monopoly in the strictest literal terms. Penalizing the company or their shareholders doesn't change the market landscape; it doesn't improve the position of competitors or risk bankrupting the company.

PG&E's profit (dividend) is effectively decided on by a public committee. They pick how much profit the company gets on a cost-plus basis. They could pick any number at any time; they could certainly pick zero.

Let's say these bad events keep happening and we just keep the number at zero indefinitely. What changes?
Thanks for sharing your setup here. Go and SQLite are great! I have a few questions :-)

Is the Go service directly accessible from Internet, or is it hosted behind a reverse proxy?

When you deploy a new binary, is there a small downtime between stopping the old binary and starting the new one?

How do you supervise the Go process? You use something like systemd?

When SQLite backup is ongoing, does it block writes to the database?

When you backup to S3, if an attacker gets control of your EC2 instance, is he able to erase your S3 backups, or is it configured in some kind of append-only mode?

Where do you store your logs and do you "read" them?
