the rhetoric here implies that such illnesses are primarily about conscious choice and will, the conclusion is that humans in america before 1970 were stronger people

No, that conclusion is incorrect. And equally valid hypothesis is that "industries" have become much better at making people choose against their own interest (and against their health). Maybe television has played a big part in that?
This. I've even had an in-law say, "My brother works for the Defense Intelligence Agency, and he uses smart devices in his home, so they must be safe!", with no consideration that tech may not be his specialty, or he doesn't follow the daily IoT fiascos, or maybe he just thinks he won't get hacked. Dunno. Meanwhile, my year-old thermostat still wants me to connect it to wi-fi, and that will never happen.

Put simply: Lead Developer != CEO.

Unless it is super early stage (pre-employees, pre-revenue, pre-everything), the CEO should not be hands-on-keyboard. If they are, there are several problems:

1) Delegation. They are demonstrating a management failure to delegate.

2) Even in a technology-oriented business, the job of the CEO is not to cut code. The function of the CEO is to manage and lead all the things related to the growth and success of the business (think: sale, marketing, hiring and recruiting, raising capital, interacting with investors, and a whole lot more). If they want to undertake the technical functions of the business, they should become CTO / VP of Engineering / etc and turn the reigns over to a CEO who can execute on the business.

3) Even if there are other team members engaged in sales and marketing, see point #2 - the CEO is fundamentally responsible for the growth and financial success of the business and it is highly unlikely that technical tasks should be their priority.

There may be a big difference between the top 0.01% of g and the top 1% of g (or there may not). But IQ is only a loss abstraction of g, and it almost certainly lacks the resolution to say how top 1% of IQ and top 0.01% of IQ actually correlate with g.

(In contrast, you can be relatively certain that someone in the top 1% of IQ has a higher g than someone with bottom 50% of IQ).

They also note that the physical arousal may be entirely due to anxiety; and that the used definition of homophobia seems not to be accurate (ie not a phobia).

FWIW there's a very important distinction between physical arousal and sexual attraction - ignoring that can be a source of great shame for some men (those who are abused/assaulted for example).

I used to hate riding on the bus (because I'd get bullied), but I also commonly got erections on the bus (the vibrations); so was I really bus-sexual ...
I wholeheartedly agree with this. It's one of many HN debates that boil down to whether X is the right tool. Thing is, you can't judge about the usefulness of a tool without factoring in its users. If you and your team have experience with Kubernetes and its ecosystem, you'll have no problems reaping its advantages even for small deployments. If that's not the case, then by all means, pick something else.
It is not just the class divide, it is generational.

Thanks to proposition 13 they cannot raise taxes in proportion to the value of your house as long as you live in it.

There are greybeards who leave in SV who were working for Apple or some other company in the 1980s and they thought it was a lot to spend $200,000 for a house but now it is worth $2M.

If their taxes had gone up they might have moved away, but so long as they stay they have a very low cost of living.

A long time ago California was a popular destination for retirees because the climate is desirable and it used to be affordable. Some of those people are still around and they vote. These people are well off, particularly considering the value they'll get when they or their heirs sell the house, but they aren't "crazy rich" either or connected to the high salaries and stock compensation that are going on now.
Being persistent while 3 feet tall will never get you into the NBA. So you find something else to be persistent with.

Conversely, being 7 feet tall isn't enough on its own. You still need persistence to get into the NBA.

Those born with the right skull shape still need persistence and discipline with diet and exercise to make it as a model.

Persistence is still critical to rise above the crowd with most things.

> In the late 90s PC users measured in the millions.

In the late 1990s, internet users (which, as the smartphone revolution hadn't happened, were largely a subset of PC users) were in the hundreds of millions and doubling roughly annually, though that slowed dramatically around 2000, but still was rapid enough to reach over a billion before the iPhone was introduced.

The smartphone revolution did a lot, but even so your are way overstating it.
> killing a few people to prevent ww3 > next internet sat/artists on mars/astroid mining.

Individuals have very different risk tolerances, often based on their deepest values. But I don't think we should say it's wrong to want to e.g. go to Mars, even if there's an 90% chance of failure. It's a reasonable tradeoff to make.

If you succeed, you'll be hailed as a new civilization's Pilgrims, and will continue in that culture's oral history for as long as it exists. Children will sing songs about your feats, and dress up in crude facsimiles of your space suits on Landing Day. Adults will proudly trace their genealogy to members of your party, and speak admiringly about the values you instilled. Many people would trade their lives for a 10% chance of such a fate. As a society we should let them.
This is what Bloomberg's article refers to as "unrelated reasons" for Apple cutting ties with Supermicro in 2016.

> Three senior insiders at Apple say that in the summer of 2015, it, too, found malicious chips on Supermicro motherboards. Apple severed ties with Supermicro the following year, for what it described as unrelated reasons.

And then as an "unrelated and relatively minor security incident" later on.
For those who don't know, this article is by Sebastian Ruder, who has a great blog [1]. His posts are often pretty deep dives of a particular area of interest within Natural Language Processing. A favorite of mine from last year gave a summary of the state-of-the-art in "Word Embeddings" [2], which I would recommend for anyone interested in the field.

The ZipCPU and several peripherals can fit within an iCE40 8k using only about 5k LUTs--and that's with the multiply unit, the divide unit, the pipelined fetch unit, and a debugging bus infrastructure. While that isn't the full pipelined implementation neither do the caches fit, it is sufficient to be competitive with the picoRV.
But what if I can't be bothered?

(Seriously. Training willpower takes willpower. If someone has some kind of executive disfunction or something, they literally can't 'just choose the right thing'.)
As a developer this bugs me too. I once was team lead on a team which had two developers (bad hires) who seemed to believe that it was only their job to write the code, someone else's job to run it and test it. I started putting "and test the code" in the tasks; a team member successfully lobbied our manager that that was another task. So now I had to write 2x as many tasks, and the predictable result happened: the developers who didn't test their own code grabbed all the "write the feature" tasks and banged them out rapidly (easy to do when you don't make sure it works!) The more experienced developers were left to pick up the "and test what you wrote" tasks, which really amounted to rewriting the bad code. Then management said, "Why are you (senior developers) wasting so much time testing code? It generally seems to work and we can always fix it later."

There was just no way to win. I'm glad I don't work in that environment anymore.

You put a big moat around things. IE: stronger, more painful contractural terms. Cash up front payment terms. Process and procedure that make sure you never get screwed again.
Hey, it's based on "the principles of cognitive psychology", a field that's renown for its accuracy and reproducibility.
>There were other considerations like the fact we were actually buying it from large reputable company and what happened was that some employees were doing it with no involvement of the company.

It's their responsibility to police for that. From the perspective of their business arrangement with you, it doesn't matter whether their left hand or right hand is evil; it's not your problem either way.

Is it really hard to find alternatives? Are they really cheaper than non-Chinese sources when you account for these inspection costs?
You could also have told that it is a very complex system where one still just runs Bash scripts to solve exactly the same problems as on bare metal, VMs, etc.
I would argue that this has already happened, and the evidence that eventually proves it will be truly horrifying.

Think about a person--someone you may already know well--that actually believes his own bullshit. Such a person armed with a brain-to-brain interface is an existential threat to objective reality.

That's enough, full stop, say no more. The other costs are real yet they're either not marginal, are borne by others, or both.
You can totally fake your way through PCI audits. I know of a company that did it for years using a fake network and servers. Not sophisticated at all. Most auditors do not find all of the compliance violations. They have one person do it. It's all about money.
IMHO Kubernetes only makes sense if you can, or want to, run multiples of things that are either stateless or clustered in some way, or another copy for a different purpose.

Run two instances of something if you want to survive a single crash or a node update. Run another copy of your application stack if you want to try out a different version or config.

Without looking at the docs, most of the things in your list are single-instance stateful applications, so unless you plan to run another copy of them for a different purpose, K8S is overkill.
Summary: Ants are farmers just like humans. They plant crops and rear other insects.

Ants have been farming for millions of years. Farming in Humans only began 12,000 years ago.

Crop farming ants not only plant seeds, they fertilize them with their own poop. So they are intentional seed planters unlike squirrels.

Insect farming ants rear mealybugs for their honeydew - like Humans keep bees for honey.
If your laptop consumed that much power it would be too hot to use on your lap and also would probably damage whatever surface you put it on. Just because a power supply has a max rating of X Watts doesn’t mean it’s always using that much. Even then, 200w for a laptop is an enormous amount. Maybe you meant LED bulbs that emit the equivalent light of a 100w bulb? That would be much closer to standard laptop power consumption.
> And as long as we can't get our energy without killing other living organisms

It is perfectly possible to fuel a human only from biological sources that have died a natural death. It's exactly the same as running a computer on fossil fuels, just without the millennia of waiting for sufficient accumulation that you need for building a whole industrial base in one short flash in the pan moment (compared to the millennia of accumulation).

Actually, you don't even have to wait for organisms to die, you can even use fuels where the providing organisms live on, having just shed off a part they don't need anymore. No killing involved in eating an apple. And if you plant the seeds in an advantageous environment you are even taking an active role in their procreation, as the seeds that just drop into the shade of the parent tree won't thrive there.
> But COBOL veterans say it takes more than just knowing the language itself. COBOL-based systems vary widely and original programmers rarely wrote handbooks, making trouble-shooting difficult for others.

The company where I am employed the ideology is time an employee spends in cube + salary paid + company resources used must produce maximum profits. So the time a prospective employee takes to ascertain a problem and implement a fix is far more valuable then the amount of times he/ she takes to solve the problem.

One of the companies named in thr Bloomberg article does. They just deatroy your laptop if it was in the hands of customs without your supervision for any length. US customs explicitly included, which is kind of wierd if you ask me.

The language of the Apple refute is so strong, to the point of directly attacking Bloomberg and calling them irresponsible. So yes, in this case there are at least a few lies being peddled by the Bloomberg intelligence contacts

>Or, more precisely, IQ is heavily correlated with the ability to succeed at taking IQ tests.

...and succeeding at taking IQ tests is also predictive of an individual's potential to succeed at, using the Feynman example, physics.

Lets say you were to gather two pools of individuals, one pool with IQ test results of 2 standard deviations below, the other with results of 2 standard deviations above, and provide them with the necessary materials and instruction to understand physics 101. Incentivize the participants by offering a $2000 cash reward for demonstrating the knowledge they were tasked with learning, lets say by answering X questions presented to them in whichever format would be optimal for their success.

How many from group -2 SDs do you think would receive the $2000, compared to group +2 SDs? -1 SDs compared to +1 SDs?

The choice of physics was arbitrary as well. You could assign almost any field of study, and you would still get almost identical results in performance.

I don't think following the rules of the road the vast majority of the time is that hard. Yes, you will make mistakes from time to time, but any reasonable system would recognize that. And sometimes following the law is less safe, but that's extremely rare in my experience. The problem is that many drivers, if not the majority of drivers, have no problem intentionally breaking the law as it suits them (e.g., speeding, unsafe passing, etc.).

I am a cyclist who rides with a helmet camera. It's amazing how much this seems to change some drivers' behavior. One moment they're rude and/or dangerous, the next they are keeping their distance and driving the speed limit. These drivers choose to drive dangerously because they think it saves time. (I'd argue the time savings are much smaller than they believe.) These people are the ones I think an automated system would catch, and I have no problem with that.

(As a cyclist, I follow the law to the letter, by the way. You will not catch me running reds. In fact, I have gone through the local police's stop sign enforcement efforts twice and passed.)

But the setup described on your website is more work than just an ordinary garden. Maybe it is a regional thing, I don't know where your main market is, but here in Canada even in low income rural areas the vast majority of people absolutely refuse to grow a garden. They will spend $2000 on a plastic and chinesium riding mower and then $30 of gas and 6 hours of time every week mowing an acre or more of grass, but they won't spend 5 minutes and $2 planting a couple of tomato plants. Doesn't anyone who is willing to garden already do it, and so not need to pay you for a way to do it that involves more work? Are you moving more towards being a permaculture design consultant?
I think the number of containers rather than the number of machines should be the leading factor.

IMHO it makes sense for most setups that have multiple micro-services that need to interact with each other. A single node cluster running a single container is kind of pointless; I agree. And you are not going to run much more than that on a micro instance. So, I agree with the main point of the article that this probably is not an appropriate setup for any kind of home setup unless of course you really want to have kubernetes (which would be a valid reason for attempting this).

If you run multiple microservices you have most of the problems that kubernetes solves out of the box and attempting to solve those by manually gobbling together bits of infrastructure outweighs the financial overhead of running kubernetes. So any moderately small setup where you are in any case going to have 2 or 3 machines running multiple containers, you probably should be looking at kubernetes.

So, if you are in Google or amazon, hosted kubernetes is definitely worth considering. You probably want a loadbalancer as well. So, at that point you are looking at ~50-100+$ per month anyway for a couple of instances, a LB and whatever else you need (e.g. RDS, S3, etc).

For anything running commercially, that's entirely defensible. Yes you can run cheaper on bare metal but people tend to forget all the hours doing devops stuff are also cost you. A day of a competent dev will easily run you kubernetes for quite some time. Unless your devs are super bored, make them spend their hours on more valuable stuff than reinventing wheels.

Fermi's just points out a contradiction between what's observable locally vs universally. So to your point can be related to simulation. But saying we're new or rare given how uniform it all is, is not boring but exceptional and that's the problem IMO. The fast radio bursts thing is interesting in this respect.
I am, but that hardly makes a difference. Assuming households residents amount are spread randomly between household with computers and households without then the ratio holds for individuals(the assumption is probably slightly off, since there is likely a correlation between poverty and having a computer and poverty and number of children, but I doubt it's very big and besides the same correlation most likely holds between poverty and having iPhones)

And the iPhone was released in 2007, not 1997.

> Another common feature is virtual USB disk media, which can be used to infiltrate or exfiltrate files or to provide new boot media. The combination of these capabilities and remote power cycling would allow an attacker to seize control of most common server configurations. For instance, they could restart the system and boot from a virtual live CD, then directly copy or modify data on the host’s storage devices

If the IPMI has write access to disc and/or main memory, you can do it more directly - drop a new /bin/login on the disc, or patch it in memory (similar to the LoJax attack: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18090651)
