GKE does the creation of the VMs and setup of them, joining them to the cluster and applying labels for example.

The specific issue appears to be about creating new "node pools". Creating standard VMs in GCP works fine however, so this is specific to GKE and their internal tooling that integrates with the rest of GCP.

GKE doesn't (at least to my knowledge) allow you to create VMs separately and join them to the cluster in any kind of easy fashion.

Jonestown was just a cultural reference by the time I was born.

Didn’t realize the Jones cult was tied to the Bar Area either.
Not sure how the bitcoin part is relevant. AFAIK it's not a currency even if it wants to be. So same problems and rules should apply to other trading as well.

What if he had been dealing cars instead of bitcoin? A guy comes in, buys a car in cash, drives away. You use the cash to buy more cars, wait for the next guy. You pocket the diff between how much you pay and how much you ask. How do you know the money isn't from a drug dealer? How do you know you're not engaging in illegal money transmission or receiving money from drug traficking?

I'd even say cars are more widely accepted than bitcoin are.

Maybe bitcoin wasn't relevant but the article just failed to emphasize that point.
This is quite natural, imo. Its well past the vague border of artificial vs natural. Its quite literally nature’s reaction to human presence, with no intentionality from humans, and directly against their wishes (obviously, they want more ivory, not less).

If this were a movie about nature v technology, this would clearly be on nature’s side. It’s not even close to resembling the heavy handed nature of selective breeding for eg dogs.

Im not sure how evolution would not be appropriate here, unless you considered that anything that touches humans is unnatural, and with transitive property, any third party touching the things humans touched is also made unnatural. If you accept this event as not being evolution, does anything still count as evolution since the 1800s?
That's known as the prosperity gospel, and it is not the same thing as the Protestant work ethic. It is also a particularly modern problem/belief, and unlikely to be the cause of the economic differences between Catholics and Protestants.

The Protestant work ethic is far more about the theology of the Reformers, and in particular the Calvinistic Reformers. Their doctrines included the idea of doing all that you do for the glory of God (including your vocation, and thus compelling excellence at work), treating your material possessions as ultimately belonging to God and not yourself, and thus not to be wasted in frivolities, denial of the self and self-pleasure, resulting in less waste on "fancy living", and much less of a focus on giving to the Church as a means of attaining grace. This resulted in private individuals accruing more wealth. It certainly isn't the only reason for European capitalism and wealth, but it appears to be a factor.

I just don’t see how an iPad Pro could ever really work as a computer replacement for true professional workflows. I’m talking about multitasking between final cut, building a website, creating assets in photoshop, taking screenshots, downloading things from an email...these are daily tasks for me. An iPad would struggle to do one of these at a time let alone all of them at once. iOS is just too limited to ever make it a real “pro” machine. For limited things like a photography workflow or photoshop workflow, maybe, if that’s all you do. So I think it’s time to give up on the idea of an iPad as a true pro machine. It will never replace your laptop and Apple doesn’t want it to. It’s a shame though because the hardware is certainly capable enough. It would require Apple basically throwing out iOS for iPad and designing a whole new way of interacting just for iPad. iOS is great for iPhones but not great for professional applications. It would be cool, but I doubt Apple will do it.
I can’t read the whole article due to the pay wall, but it was my impression that his firing had less to do with the fact that he supported Trump than the ways he went about showing his support.

Hence my proposal to rewrite the law - we grant the police their dragnet video recording, in return they must obtain a warrant or show probable cause to get the footage.

The law can raise the bar for obtaining a warrant to an arbitrarily high level to cover minor daily infractions. For example, today police aren't allowed to stop a person for driving without a seatbelt, unless a more serious crime is being committed at the same time.

>Executives from Facebook, Twitter Inc. and Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., have had to answer questions from lawmakers about potential bias in their treatment of conservative viewpoints.

If the lawmakers accept refusing customers based on their sexuality, I don't think they can't object against "No Trump Supporters" into executive positions policy either. Executives represent the company in a way that normal workers don't.

There is obviously line somewhere in the sand, but it's different for different people in different issues.

Conservatives should not try to argue that that that kind of discrimination should not exist. They should argue on principles and map out principles.
It depends on what you consider environment. We are part of the environment for those animals, and they have evolved to increase survival and reproduction in this environment that contains us.

The bulldog health might be frail, but as a species it thrives in this environment containing us, as you can find them all around the world. The wellbeing of the individual is not an objective of evolution, just increasing survival and reproduction in a particular environment.

There are a lot of choices which go into all of this, too. One interesting story is about which poor countries tried to copy 20th-C US farming, and which did almost the opposite.

The first path was a mistake -- it looked modern, all those big machines, but was optimised for near-infinite land and very expensive labor. What poor countries typically had was the opposite: plenty of peasants and no room, and no diesel. So the winning strategy was actually closer to a million vegetable patches, with incentives, training, and transport to get this to the cities & export. An acre of vegetable patches can easily produce 100x the market value of an acre of wheat. Getting this right was a big part of how Taiwan & Korea for instance kick-started their growth. Getting it wrong was part of what killed the USSR -- if I remember right, they never even equalled the 1917 harvest.

It's very very weird that you approach the problem from the userland (all of you) rather than from the administration angle. No it's not a marketing or a web designer problem. First of all it's an administration problem.
WWW implies the protocol. FTP implies the protocol. MAIL implies to protocol and goes like this. You like it or not this is the main purpose of this usage because back in the day http was not the most famous protocol. Other protocols like FTP for example was very very famous and important too.
But even today, when we see "www." in an FQDN we automatically understand that http:// is implied.
But also a very serious reason is the computer science reason. It'a a matter of tidyness and a right theoretical approach the usage of WWW. When a DNS issue will come up no one marketing guy or designer will be there to help you, you poor admininstator.

So please leave this decision to the admins and the way they established it. With WWW!

So do Icecat release versions mirror Firefox releae versions? If so, they're only about 6 months behind mainline Firefox, which is pretty good for a noncommercial and relatively niche fork of a complicated piece of software.

Edit, this is an interesting feature set. I might switch!

A series of configuration changes and tweaks were applied to ensure
that IceCat does not initiate network connections that the user has not
explicitly requested. This implies not downloading feeds, updates,
blacklists or any other similar data during startup.

We no longer include SpyBlock, which was IceCat's fork of AdBlockPlus
that allowed to block all third-party requests during "Private Browsing"
mode. Now, we include an extension that blocks all third party requests
by default, and provides a simple interface to whitelist specific
third-party resources on a per-site basis.

A basic TOR integration extension is included. Note that you need to
separately run the TOR service at the operating system for this
extension to work. If you use a GNU/Linux system this is usually done by
installing the "tor" package.

While magic and its limits are indeed defined by the author, the problem with fantasy worlds with widely available magic is that it usually ends up permeating the universe and being at the center of the story. Think of Harry Potter or LOTR or even going back in history to the tales of King Arthur.
Game of Thrones is not a fantasy tale as much as a human one.

George Martin chose to make the story about people and the struggle for power and ideals and everything else that is human. And even with magic being barely a presence, it still is a force able to radically influence the game - but not much more than money, or armies, or human ability, which are still powerful enough to be relevant.

I think if magic was more widely available, it would either have needed to be trivial, not powerful magic, or these other resources would have suffered.
Calling someone who lives in a house a 'real estate investor' and 'squatting on assets' is truly odd to me.

I totally agree that a certain sector of workers needs more protection, not less. But if they really wanted to protect the working poor, they would stop labor leasing and raise the minimum wage. That this goes on as it is currently is outrageous.
> What if he had been dealing cars instead of bitcoin?

If you sell a car to someone knowing they paid with cash earned from dealing drugs, and then you proceed to not report that income, yes, it would be illegal.

The unique role of Bitcoin appears to be sociological. The case with cars is highly infrequent. Swap cars with Bitcoin, however, and people seem to think it’s okay.
Personally I think both practices are equally bad - regardless of anybody's political leanings - and that one does not justify the other.

Its a project for some dutch gallery from designer and programer Jonathan Puckey. Big name in design/art scene. I am not connected to the studio but some friends worked there and from my foggy memory the project had excactly those problems. It got big some time ago and although it was supposed to be more local thing they started to get rejected by google analytics and maps. I think instead folding the project the gallery is just swallowing the costs. It goes from Dutch grants - so state money.
It's very very weird that you approach the problem from the userland (all of you) rather than from the administration angle.

Is that really weird at all? "you take the pain so your customers have things more pleasant" is a common idea.

None of your customers care if you are doing "the right theoretical approach to the usage of www" if your competitor isn't. They'll simply go to your competitor, who does the thing they want.

e.g. "CNAMES at the root of DNS" which is mentioned in this post; you can find any number of greybeards lecturing you on how wrong it is, but when you face your customers and they say "Amazon Route 53 DNS lets us do it", what does it matter how wrong it is? Explaining to them how Amazon has built something custom and non-standard, won't make them happier. They'll just use Amazon.
Some people argue it’s only the users that matter. Some, only the admins. It’s a trade off. There’s some level of customer impact that makes the work worth it, and some that doesn’t. Different people arrive at different conclusions.
Oh, it's totally just convenience, no other reason.

I suppose you could argue that if you then forced people to use longer, more complex passwords, they would have fewer issues.

Are you sure? Start from the most extreme political positions and walk back from there.
QUIC is technically excellent. I have a game-theoretic concern with putting it in userspace.

I worry that everyone will have an incentive to "cheat" at congestion control, leading to a tragedy-of-the-commons situation of ever-more-aggressive flows, followed by eventual congestion collapse.

This effect didn't happen with in the TCP world, since most applications don't run with enough privileges to speak TCP without the kernel's involvement. But now that we're moving to a model in which applications do their own congestion control, an arms race seems inevitable.
I think the reviews would have had two major issues with it:

* Black and white

* Too short and easy

Although reviewers would talk up raw tech specs, when it came time to assign scores they were and still are more likely to consider the whole art style on a simple "how much representational detail and animation does it have" scale, which allows a lot of room for games with simple rendering techniques.

Limbo is spiritually most like Another World, which did have the "too short" complaint. Everyone liked the graphics, though.

> Is this really true?

Yes. There comes a moment in which you suddenly stop minding parentheses. For me it was when I started reading SICP and doing its exercises on paper. After writing a couple Lisp expressions by hand, something clicked in my brain, and since then I don't need to count parentheses anymore.

I strongly suspect following the Lisp style of indentation and placing parens (closing parens go together, instead of one per line like in Algol-derived languages) is vital to achieving that.
I was pointing to an ideal, not to the current status quo :)
I'm surprised you place so much trust in our system of laws. With that proposal, we'd be one small step away (e.g. terrorist attack, etc.) from something truly Orwellian. Look what happened with 9/11 and see how fast our civil liberties can go down the drain.
I would think it would be presented/discussed with the team.

The editorialized headline is strange. Luckey is not the first facebook figure to publicly support Trump - Thiel is. WSJ chooses to frame this as "FB is left learning, and they didn't like Luckey", but that doesn't explain why Thiel has been largely immune.

The more likely cause is, Luckey (aka NimbleRichMan) was known to fund facebook groups that spread disinformation, an issue that FB is struggling with majorly right now. It doesn't help your cause when one of your highest profile exec if pouring more fuel in the fire.

If he was really fired for supporting Trump I'd imagine there would be some legal grounds for Palmer to sue on. However, WSJ does a disservice here and I'm looking forward to when Cruz cites this article as evidence for his base that the coastal elite boogeyman is out to get them.
