It reminds me when I was doing Jira & Confluence admin work for team leads at my previous job. I don't think I was a dick to the (many) people sending mails asking for admin operation, but when one came to see me in order to work together on his task workflow, this person went from an outlook contact to a real person and I realize that I could have been more polite in my email answer. Also it was weird, because from his picture I had imagined him taller.

Your comment doesn’t address my question of how many people are misclassified by IQ test. I suspect smart people with high functioning autism and the like are not accurately measured. Not saying any of this applies to Feynman by the way. Just used him as an example of where an IQ exam underestimated someone.
I personally know a number of people with PhDs who never did well on IQ tests, but simply persevered and did their thing.
I do agree with you, but I don't think I really missed the point of the original article. From the original article:
> However popular wisdom would suggest that Kubernetes is an overly complex piece of technology only really suitable for very large clusters of machines; that it carries a large operational burden and that therefore using it for anything less than dozens of machines is overkill. I think that's probably wrong.

I don't think that is wrong. I do think it is probably overkill, and IMO it does introduce operational burden and complexity. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, though, if you're interested in exploring the technology, for example.
The PLA can lean on factory managers very effectively but they're not going to be interested in small time stuff like credit card numbers.

Some of the stuff I read from that is just chilling.

I can't remember the report anymore, but I remember this one incident where parents called the police for help to deal with their mentally unstable son, around 18 years, having a rage fit.

The responding officers managed to cuff the kid and get him to the ground, when one of the police officers just went "I've had enough of this", pulled his gun out, and shoot the cuffed kid on the ground in the back, literally executing the kid while his parents were standing like 5 feet away from it.

The kid ended up dying, can't remember if the officer got any real punishment, but I'm pretty sure his parents will never ever call the police for "help".

I think then simple question I'm trying to ascertain using these figures, are we on a trend that could see humans living to 150 years old? Look at that data and it would suggest so, but I suspect that we are not.

That is either because we're not actually living longer as a species or there is a hard limit on how long humans can live.

> we verify a fairly realistic implementation of a multicore shared-memory system with two types of components: memory system and processor. Both components include nontrivial optimizations, with the memory system employing an arbitrary hierarchy of cache nodes that communicate with each other concurrently, and with the processor doing speculative execution of many concurrent read operations. Nonetheless, we prove that the combined system implements sequential consistency. To our knowledge, our memory-system proof is the first machine verification of a cache-coherence protocol parameterized over an arbitrary cache hierarchy, and our full-system proof is the first machine verification of sequential consistency for a multicore hardware design that includes caches and speculative processors.

That comment is certainly hyperbole, but there are neighborhoods in any city that are far more violent by nature than others, and it stands to reason that one may have to respond that way more often in those areas.

Police in the US are trained heavily in de-escalation, but sometimes overwhelming show of force lets everybody go home alive (yes, the offender as well), rather than allowing a situation to escalate to a point where deadly force has to be used.
I would think that, logically, and as illustrated, "the device wasn't tampered AFTER shipped from manufacturer" means after YOU have shipped it to customers. The anti-tampering system is to prevent modifications in the field.

While it may sound sensational this was more of an operational issue, really. We were told by Visa and Mastercard that it is not even a question if we are going to be targeted. If you work in payment card industry you are constantly being attacked and the only way is to make it part of the process to deal with those things. Our network was hacked but what was important was tight, almost mathematical processes around protecting very specific material like credit card data and PINs.

For example, PINs are only ever being in unencrypted form inside of Hardware Security Modules and only for the purpose of being encrypted with Visa/Mastercard exchange keys. The process was designed so that nobody has enough access to ever get enough cryptographic material to be able to decrypt anything, at least two or three people would have to collude to do anything.

It also happens that we put all our resources in investment in software for the platform locking ourselves in. It would be rash decision to change the platform and it would probably kill our company. Also we (correctly) gambled that it would be dealt with quickly.

Authoritarianism and Another Insane EU Directive
You can just buy counterfeit anti-tamper stickers but if there is a switch inside the unit that flips a bit in some sort of write-once memory, then that would require removal of an entire chip and replacing it with another that may not be 100% the same. You can have a chain of trust in the system where chips will only talk to each other if they all spit out the right hash. Bury the SPI/I2C lines you use for this trust check within the PCB so you can't access it without drilling the card and add a layer of anti-tamper traces that trigger another tamper event if disturbed. Now what was just a quick install has turned into a whole PCB rework job where you are having to swap all the chips with a virgin set, assuming you can't get your hardware in there prior to final assembly.

Use an AES256 key from the factory to hash the chip's burned-in serial number and the time from the RTC. Lock out JTAG interfaces so once the chips are burned, they are inside their own fortress. There are a ton of ways to really lock down the hardware other than a shiny sticker and weird screws. Those keep people from breaking their own hardware, anti-tamper tech in chips keep out bad guys.

There’s been a bit of a full circle going on in the industry. PaaS like Heroku were rejected by many because they couldn’t tinker inside the box. Docker and Kubernetes changes that, and there will be new Heroku-like experiences built on them.

But for now we are in this weird mode where the Kubernetes momentum is eclipsing even Docker, even though raw K8s reminds me of Linux in the Slackware days. there is so much FOMO, people don’t consider Heroku or anything off the Kubernetes wagon, except maybe AWS Lambda.

I'm traveling and can't pull up my genetics test, it's a marker that impacts the corpus collusum and makes it very weakly connected. This leads to the increased risk of several diseases, and a likely increased IQ. It's passed down in the X chromosome. For us it was identified in brain scans, then I got everyone to take genetics tests which confirmed.

From there, I'm guessing you can maybe find something on Google. It's an active area that's still being explored too. From ancedotal evidence we do have schizophrenia run in the family, and we also regularly break 130 on IQ tests - so take it for what you will

It is relatively easy for a good IQ year to deliver a “false negative” — that is, a significantly lower score than a theoretical true score. This could be as simple as something like not sleeping well the night before or just simple ambivalence.

However, they are different in this case because Venezuela's market isn't large enough that Google feels the need to bend to the will of the government there to be competitive in the world's market. Therefore, they can afford, on a competitive level, to stand against censorship in Venezuela, where doing the same thing in China costs them a huge amount of money. Which is their motivator, as they are a corporation.
> The concept of "just let me run my custom scripts everywhere" is a nice one, so long as you're talking about a dozen or so machines

This is not the recommended way to use Ansible at all. Ansible encourages the use of modules, to perform tasks on the server in an idempotent manner.

There are modules[1] for installing packages, creating, 'editing files' and so on.

Running custom shell scripts for everything is specifically discouraged in their documentation.

While that's great, and I thought about plugging my own containers project here too, to get it some exposure and possibly help someone (we're trying to help people get on the train, and that's commendable, I didn't downvote you) now you've gone from something bespoke to something basically singular, where Kubernetes is a leading industry standard with the weight of at least[1] 77 vendors who have sought and achieved conformance[2] with their own distributions of Kubernetes.

I haven't heard of Joyent or SmartOS in years! I am super surprised to hear of anyone recommending it today as a competitor to Kubernetes, and I have no facts or deep understanding of that platform so I won't belabor you with an argument about how Kubernetes is better. (I can't say if it is or isn't.) It's just not in the same ballpark. I'm glad it works for you. I'm especially glad to hear about another option (that we could potentially replace our bespoke deployments with), because the more of these things I know about, the louder I can clamor to upper management about the fact that we're not using any of these technologies yet, and we should be (to sleep through the night!)

I learned about Kubernetes through Deis Workflow. It took years to understand Kubernetes from end-to-end, and I was already a container veteran when Deis moved to k8s. I resisted! I caved. I came over, now I have years of experience with Kubernetes, and I can't say I'd recommend anything else. "Those complications" are all very hard to get over, but then ... you get over them! And largely don't have to do that again.

If you are on Kubernetes, then you are not locked in to any cloud provider (unless you have opted into another technology that made you locked in.) I can't say the same for Triton.

For the purposes of disclosure, I am a member of Team Hephy, the open source Deis Workflow fork. (Deis Workflow is EOL and Hephy is the continuation.) Workflow is how I learned Kubernetes, and I would still recommend it highly to anyone else that wants to learn Kubernetes. But I will not kid anyone into thinking it's going to happen overnight. (With Workflow though, you can absolutely start using it productively in about an hour.)[3]

How to write good content as a mediocre UI/UX Designer – [Design Case Study]
I really like this idea, but there's one question that I always wonder how people doing this handle.

If your kids are not yet school age, and you plan to send them to school rather than home-school when the time comes: what's your plan for when your children and the other children realise this stark difference between their home environments? Your children will feel they're being denied wonderful entertainment that the other children are getting. Other children will mark out your children as outsiders. Based on my own childhood, I'm afraid I find it easy to imagine your children being ostracised and bullied over a thing like this. But even if they're not, won't they be screaming for TV every night?

(No children myself, I could easily be wrong about everything, honest question.)
There are instances of success without perseverance. For instance, the guy who invented GANs did it in one evening, more or less on a whim. One could argue that education and probably IQ were the dominant enablers there.
All of these are definitely part of it, but we need to look more deeply at the economic realities of policing in the US to understand some of this. Read this article: https://harvardlawreview.org/2015/04/policing-and-profit/

Police in many municipalities are not fully funded via taxes. Instead their revenues are maintained via tickets, fines, and property seizures. There are recent cases that have gone to the supreme court related to some of these issues: https://newrepublic.com/article/148013/will-supreme-court-re..., I don't believe this case has been heard yet.

The point is, the police in the US have an economic necessity to pay their own salaries by fighting "crime". This incentivizes them in seizing property, prior to any conviction in court. Often the property is seized from people without the means to fight to get it back, and/or it's not worth the fight. This tactic of ticketing, fining and seizing property to pay for the police force, IMO, is the root cause of the issues between minorities and low income people and the police. In effect, the police need crime and will find crime, because they need to in order to earn their salaries.

As in many other countries, the real problem is not guns (clarification: I'm against guns) but selection; someone letting his political views or the level of testosterone screw up his personal control during service should never ever be given an uniform, let alone a gun, period. And I'm 100% sure if we publicly screened every cop after service for drugs or steroids use, the scandal would explode within days.
Cops are violent because corrupt powers need them as such: once they get a minor punishment or are acquitted after an unprovoked beating/killing, they can become a paramilitary force in the hands of the same politicians who helped them, both during service and after they retire. As usual, it's all about corruption.

It's funny, the article says that none of Terman's Termites became examplars of genius, but Lee Cronbach is definitely in the top 1% of most influential psychologists.

To name a few accomplishments..

* If wikipedia is correct, he was the "48th most cited psychologist as of 2002".

* He has an extremely popular metric named after him (Cronbach's alpha)

* President of American Psychological Association.

Maybe what he is missing to the author is the popular media appeal Feynman has. However, I'm not sure that's a good criterion for genius, since I'm not sure it's something Cronbach wanted.
