I would change the qualifier to "comfortably afford" , but I do self-insure on most things.

Take an extremely poor insurance bet as an example. The electronics store will offer you an extended warranty plan on your new TV. An LG 55" LED TV (UK6090PUA) is $400 right now at BestBuy. 2 years of "protection plan" on that TV is $50. Do you think that anywhere near 1 in 8 TVs need any kind of service in 2 years, let alone something that would require the replacement of the TV? Sure, there are people who pay $450 for their TV instead of $400 and come out ahead. The vast majority don't and most people can easily shoulder the burden of buying a new TV when their current one breaks. (By the way, that insurance policy allows the insurer, at their sole discretion, to pay you the market value of your TV rather than repair/replace it.)

I self-insure against collision on our cars (meaning I dropped collision coverage). Collision insurance (covering repairing/replacing of our cars) was running around $1000 per year for 2 drivers and 3 cars. In 20 years, between insurance savings and investing the savings, I've banked about $40K by not carrying collision. Not only could I cover a collision now, I could buy 3 replacement cars outright and have money left over and don't have to deal with any insurance paperwork to do so...

I do carry liability insurance (at high limits) for auto. I have our home insured. I have a high-deductible medical insurance plan. I'm not anti-insurance in general; I am anti-insurance for losses that can be easily weathered.
>Something along the lines of what Go brought to the game.

Where the biggest adopter, Kubernetes, is ironically a way too complex system of automation routines that still regularly fail in production environments. And oh dear, if they fail, it's gonna be hard to figure out what exactly went wrong. We uncovered a bug in the job controller just yesterday that was probably not biting anyone else due to how a race condition usually plays out, but this kind of bug is way too common.
Rebelling against the rebels?

How apt. :-)
I would argue that we have no choice and have to master our own genome. Consider that we have entirely removed many of the selective forces that ensured we had a healthy gene pool.

Take, as a simple example, the selective pressure on any disease that would have killed someone 1000 years ago. Now whatever susceptibility lead to that is not drained from the gene pool, the person is cured at great expense and reproduces furthering the presence of the gene. Don't get me wrong, evolution runs off of death and murder. Replacing it can be amazing, but we almost have no choice.
The real reason is that coding is hard and coders are hard to find and certifications are just an acknowledgment that you have domain knowledge.

I don’t care if you know what an auto scaling group is. I care that you can write code that automates builds and deployments. The AWS part is easy and you can learn what you need to know on the job. In my experience, coding is something you either can do or you can’t, and if you come to me with a cert and no programming experience it’s very hard for me to know what you’re capable of.

i spend like 5% of an interview asking about AWS stuff and like 50% talking about code and automation.

>I guess it all comes down to the religion. Americans do seem to be more religious, specifically more Christian, and the Christian Church has always taught that sex should only be for procreation.

Yes, but that religious attitude also goes through the whole culture, so the puritanical / prudish attitude ends up in the minds of atheists and the public in general, even if they haven't stepped into a church in their life. So you get the phenomenon in all ends of the spectrum, from the Hayes code, CD "parental advisory" and moral panics of the right, to the political correctness and moral panics of the left.

At the same time, the are religions like catholicism that can appear similarly reserved, but in social practice the majority of their adherents can be more open to sex, partying, and all kinds of moral ambiguity. There are exception in close knit communities under perceived attack (e.g. Ireland), but in the main they tend to be more open to "sin". That's because protestantism emerged as a fundamentalist "back to the original morality" sect, where strictness was its main thing.
I have the feeling that you have literally no idea what you are talking about. Like at all. This usually comes from self entitles semi-decent full stack developers building same old crappy systems that break apart as soon as they get any decent usage.

Guys not all of you are the mythical 10x engineers working on the ground breaking stuff. Deal with it.

We have had most of these technologies way before they became commoditized. What we have done is that we have made them cheaper and more accessible to your average joe.

Containers ? Give me a break. We have had Solaris Zones provisioning mechanisms at large telcos before any of you even knew what a container is. People have been provisioning jails/zones with a click of a button for ages.

It's funny to me because just 10y ago people like you were yelling and screaming about losing jobs to offshore developers in India and Eastern Europe. There's no apocalypse anytime soon.

Things are getting revamped, they are better, faster and what's more important they are accessible.
Just because you know how to use docker does not mean you are able to manage a production ready infrastructure.
AWS or any of the big providers are not a silver bullet. Never will be. They are at the end of the day very costly services not suitable for all business.

“Advertiser friendly” killed the internet we love. Sex is just one aspect of a poor excuse.
People over attribute things to The Algorithm. In truth, with little information to go on, it's often the case that no valuable ad was available to be shown and so it falls back. It's not that it's oven or housewife related. It may even be a wholly untargeted ad.
Still, I think it's a wonderful idea, wish I'd thought of it. Bravo I say.

The debate here is whether it was a covered claim or not.

A reasonable person would certainly think that a policy sold as cyber insurance would cover a cyber attack. And presumably a large multinational like Mondelez would have had the policy reviewed by their legal department before signing and paying the premiums.

So far as regulations - in the US standard types of policies (such as auto, home, etc.) are regulated by the states not the feds. A policy that isn't one of those likely has very few regulations around it. In which case the policy language (aka the contract) governs the relationship.

If Zurich wanted to limit the total damages, they should have put that in the policy. And then resell some of that risk to a reinsuror.

This is going to have to be settled in the courts. But in the meantime, I would be hesitant to purchase any cyber insurance from Zurich (or any other insuror) because of the uncertainty that a claim would be paid that this action introduces.

Crimes go through a criminal justice track, and outcomes may include jail time.

Illegal actions go through a civil justice track, and typically result in fines and/or some sort of civil restitution for victims.

If you ignore building codes you're acting illegally. If you ignore building codes and people die you're a criminal.

Which is fine as far as it goes. But criminality is often defined politically, not empirically in terms of outcomes.

Sex work is complicated precisely because it's on the edge of consensus morality. It has so much moral and political baggage, and for those who care it's so difficult to manage in ways that minimise harm for all involved, that it's almost the definition of a political football.

It doesn't help that authoritarians are invariably utterly hypocritical about it. Sex workers know that business is going to boom whenever a convention of self-styled moral hawks hits town.

So there's always political pressure to keep that hypocrisy hidden, which makes the criminal/civil line even more of a hot-button issue than it would be anyway.

Your comment reveals a massive naivety about the medical, scientific and ethical conversations in the field. But you also don’t seem too interested in learning about it...
Because for many employers, they live under the false pretense that not giving you a raise is saving them money. Granted, it works most if the time. Most people stick around out of complacency or even inability to get a new job. This makes it so that the employer has absolutely no incentive to proactively give raises. You really must force their hands. This is why I don't believe in the stigma around job hopping. It makes no sense why anyone believes that being loyal to a company is in their best interest. Every 2-3 years make sure you are putting yourself on the market to test how much you're worth.
I’d like to say you had a fair point, but what is the “right” option? There is a reason I outlined environmental and repairability as two separate things because unfortunately there isn’t always a correlation between the two.

It’s sad but sometimes the non-repairable options are actually better for the environment, even if you have to replace them[0].

And this is assuming the repairable option will even last longer, which isn’t always the case. It’s anecdotal but when I bought my 2018 MacBook Pro last October it was to replace my old 2011 MacBook Pro. The old one still works by the way. In a shorter period of just five years I’ve gone through three dells at work. Despite the dells living mainly in docking stations and being repairable two of them are dead.

To me it’s a priority list, and you are certainly free to disagree with how I prioritise, but my point was that Apple fits my list better than the other options.

Yes. Most of the hardware on most of the Orange Pi boards has mainline support as of Linux 4.17. The main exceptions seem to be camera support (forthcoming in 5.0), video decode and encode (work in progress), 3D graphics (even more experimental work in progress), HDMI audio (???), and the handful of boards which use the Allwinner H6 or more exotic chips.
It must not happen that often, otherwise insurances would not make much money.

Those events likelyhood, the cost of them, and what the insurance will actually pay you back are probably way off what you think it is in your mind.

Now I do think insurance is important for catastrophic events: low likelyhood, but incredible cost, because you can't take this chance at the scale of an entire society.

But for theft or kids breaking things, I'm not so sure.

I don't think they're saying that great ideas can't spread from less prestigious institutions, I think they're saying that ideas from more prestigious institutions will spread further than similar ideas from less prestigious ones.

We intuitively know this though, don't we? In rhetoric we even have the fallacy known as the argument from authority: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority The idea being that because humans are prone to operating in hierarchies we give more weight to persons and institutions that are seen as more authoritative for whatever reason, one reason being their supposed prestige.

It's neat a study bears this out.

Even in majority of developing countries, it's better to keep your money in Fiat or even USD account(where allowed) becuase you don't suddenly loose 80% in a month or two (Exceptions bring countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela). Sure, you could loose say 20 to 30% due to fiscal adjustments due to many factors over a year, but almost everyone in your country would likely be in the same boat as you and things like PPP (for locally manufactured goods) might adjust to minimize some of the impact

> We don't know what the best genes are or will be.

True, but we know of a LOT of situations which genes won't be any good. ADHD, ASD are survivable, but despite the fact that one of the great physicists of the 20th century had it, I think even he would agree that ALS should not be allowed to occur.

Also interfering in health effectively means everybody is being asked to bear a burden for those faulty genes. Which is where the real argument will come from.

As of anything with SEO, it's all guesses.

But in general, the job of SEO's is increasingly being about writing better content and satisfying the user, and less about "tricks". That's true , at least generally.

But when i say better content, better is defined as more engaging, shareable, linkable, clickable. that sort of stuff. This isn't our cup of tea here at HN, but maybe that's what most people go for. Maybe.

BTW, my fun pet conspiracy theory(everybody should have one!) , is that somewhere deep in the belly of alphabet, they have a secret search engine built for engineers, that nobody knows it exists, even the engineers(it uses a google theme), and it's the key behind their moonshot empire. :)

I think it's normal. We now live in a world were liberalism is being shoved down our throats at all levels (mass media, education, ...). Young people are rebels by nature, so now, young people are moving to the right, especially in Europe.

What I mean to say is that this is not the result of US puritanism moving to Europe. Instead, I think it's a natural, homegrown trend, unrelated to religious sentiments.
I'm guessing that another reason is that some of the existing IT personnel are resisting the change, and one of their methods is to give HR unrealistic requirements so no one will ever qualify.

I have a plan for this. I know of an ad network that will let me run ads on Libr that supports both SFW and NSFW ads.

When you sign up for Libr you have to say if your blog is NSFW or not. Then Libr flags all content you post as NSFW or SFW depending on what you choose.

I can detect what content is on a page, then run SFW ads around SFW content and relevant NSFW ads around NSFW content. Google used to do the same thing if you turned off safe search with their AdWords ads.

I'd run the SFW ads near NSFW if it were possible, but it's not.
Cloud tech also changed the economics of operations and support. 10 years ago you might need 3 trained ops folks to run a production service on a given tech stack. Often the only real requirements for these jobs was a competent claim that the person could keep the lights on when the server went down at 4 am.

Modern cloud shops don't need dedicated staff to manually reboot servers, manually install software, or manually handle unavoidable hardware problems. Often what they're looking for is core software knowledge to add automation, fault tolerance, and scalability to their stacks under the banner of platform/devtools/backend software roles.
>Not only on the back burner, but as some kind of weird, separate thing. No one is connecting the dots to the puritans.

True. It's why they repeated the very same prosecution complex trap during McCarthyism. Same finger-pointing scenario, it was just a different boogeyman to be afraid of - so it wasn't "the same".
Only personal tinkering doesn't count as "experience" in those companies books...
If you have ever tried to work as a ride share driver, you would quickly discover that without tips it wouldn't be nearly as viable a source of income.

Honestly, I don't mind not getting tipped by the old man or single mother going home with a few bags from the grocery store, I know they're broke. On the other hand, I appreciate it when the businesswoman headed to the airport gives me a bigger tip than I expected, I know she can afford it.

Would I rather make a flat extra $7 an hour? Yeah, probably overall. But allowing tipping (in an environment where it's been a tradition for generations) costs the company nothing and results in more income for underpaid drivers. If it's that or simply make less money, well, it may not be the perfect shining ideal of How Things Should Be Done, but I'll take it.

> Very shortly before his death he got his affairs in order and flew to India.

This is a huge red flag. It's really easy to get fake IDs, passports, marriage certificates, death certificates, driver's licenses[1] etc in India, if you grease the right hands. and it's not even that much in USD. We are talking a couple of 100 bucks ( USD ) for a new passport with a new name and far less for other things.

I didn't even go to the DMV. He delivered the "International Drivers Permit" drivers license right to my door in 2 days.

I think sex is just different from violence. Violence is something quite pulic. Sex is not. It's intimate. Also ~violence, not day to day drive to harm or kill people, just ability to attack for defense, is almost a desired skill. If you don't do that you'll be stepped on. If not physically, emotionally. So displays of violence is almost pedagogical. Reminds me that, as a kid, Japanese animated show were censored heavily because it was fights with blood.. but the warriors were always defending (fist of the north star, saint seiya,...). There was no psychopathic desire for aggression there.
It does count on the interviews. A lot.
So the jobs change. They move into "Developer" category where we will hire Developer with domain knowledge of "networks", "systems" or "operations".
