What reasonable use case is there for a detection of the test cycle just from ECU information? If you're just testing stuff surely you have access to the ECU to just set a flag manually for anything you need?

> Tools like Ansible and Puppet, as great as they are, do not guarantee your infrastructure will end up in the state you defined and you easily end up with broken services.

False dilemma. Ansible and Puppet are great tools for configuring kubernetes, kubernetes worker nodes, and building container images.

Kubernetes does not solve for host OS maintenance; though there are a number of host OS projects which remove most of what they consider to be unnecessary services, there's still need to upgrade kubernetes nodes and move pods out of the way first (which can be done with e.g. Puppet or Ansible).

As well, it may not be appropriate for monitoring to depend upon kubernetes; there again you have nodes to manage with an SCM tool.
Psychologists telling a man who is being abused that he should change?

Was the widespread social justice outrage lost in translation? Where are the public calls to revoke the psychologists' licenses and shut down the website where they give advice?

All I see is one article that doesn't mention any significant public response at all. While it's nice that someone is speaking against it, it's not nearly enough, and only confirms my point that abusing men is still generally tolerated.
Exactly what data is this dispute about? The article says "customer information captured on merchants’ online stores" but what exactly does that mean?
"Excuse me, but what more did the author expect the government to do?"

It is not some outrageous expectation that the $8,000,000,000+/year, 14,000+ employee EPA and/or DOT independently verify the real world emissions performance of passenger cars and other vehicles. The cars were so grossly out of compliance that anyone with a ordinary field emissions testing machine could have caught it.

If, as is very likely the case, the regulators had no technical resources among their hordes of lawyers they could have asked any number of publicly funded universities to perform the actual investigation and go beyond the agreed upon and easily fooled test regime. The discovery was actually made by US academics with very limited financing.

This institutional pencil whipping is SOP at EPA. GOA had a gasoline powered alarm clock (among other improbable devices) Energy Star certified as part of an investigation in 2010. Energy Star certifications are literally pencil whipped through an automated system with no human review.

When the EPA found itself answering for their part in the emissions scandal in public hearings there was no defense. They didn't even try to cite limited budgets[1] -- the go-to excuse every time some regulator comes up short -- as a cause. They just failed.

That's difficult to accept for some, and so all manner of rationalizations are employed to dilute that simple truth. But I'm not among them.

Title should probably mention "(2018)".
If the bottleneck of pulling was eliminated by this, it means the test runs didn't need to access most of the image, right? I wonder what this says about carrying unnecessary stuff or test coverage. Especially since the base distro layers were probably cached.

Edit: " For isolation and other reasons, we run all our containers in a single-use fresh VMs." So they had no caching for the base layers unless those were primed in the vm image?
I remember when I first saw Peter Jackson's Braindead - from the first 5 minutes I wasn't sure if it was an amateur movie or a total parody. Glad I kept watching. Some of the scenes were templates for some LOTR scenes, polished to perfection there.

High-speed trains are wonderful where the population density is sufficiently high, but in more sparsely populated parts, the car (and, for longer distances, the plane) is likely the only viable solution for decades to come.

With that as a starting point, the cars and planes might as well be electric. (Or hydrogen powered!)
>“A startup worrying about competitors is like a fat guy smoking a cigarette as he worries about contracting West Nile Virus.”

It is really important for the fat guy to determine if he is near Nile River, or an area infected with the WN virus and work out the chances of contracting the virus.

Sure a startup is "flimsy" in many ways, but doing good and adequate market research, determining what you have to offer that is better than current competition (when it exists) and considering if it's worth it is definitely something to thing about.

Worrying isn't useful, researching and planning is. If you have competition, study it and include it in your considerations and plans.
We can also assume that in reality the result will be a bit worse, since this was a demo in a controlled environment.
I think you're much too generous. You can look at political decisions in most countries and see that politicians don't, on average, understand economics. For that matter, a great many economic theories (which are often presented as facts) don't hold up when tested.

In summary, economics is hard. But making something (internet/web) increasingly unusable is just pure ignorance.
I always suspect "inspired by Paradox" when this kind of comment comes up. It's scary to see how much these games influence our perception of history, considering the permanent conflict of interest between accuracy and gameplay.

On the other hand, those games are teaching models instead of "facts", which is much less prone to cause future conflict when the stuff taught is not exactly consistent with what others were told. Ever met one of those people who only know Hitler as heroic shatterer of colonialism? scary. All in all, Paradox is doing an amazingly good job, but we should not only be careful about how many hours we lose to them, we also need to be wary of putting too much faith into the models we absorb from them.

If I understand the author’s motivations, they are likely to have written and maintain this largely for their own use. I also keep a lot of notes about things I know and information I may want to refer back to, but, I don’t have my notes in a form that would be of much use to other people.
My art history example does fly if we're talking about students. The question then would be - what about faculty? Why is faculty still mostly male when students are mostly female.

And the answer is that the faculty selection process is - for art history as much as for other faculties - skewed towards a narrow sub-demographic that is predominantly white and male from a well-to-do background. If you call that discrimination I'll agree with you, but it's not a kind of discrimination that would be specific to either art history or computer science.

Even if you look outside Stanford https://art.vassar.edu/bios/ you can see a definite difference in gender distribution between adjuncts (poorly paid, mostly female) and full professors (mostly male).

At least in Germany, this is being changed by rules that give female applicants preferential treatment when there are (as is common) more male than female applicants for a professorship, and at least in female-dominated courses of studies we now see more female professors.

So we seem to have gender (+other, less visible) discrimination in many cases where managers, professors and other roles are selected in a competitive manner. And we have ways to change this if universities and private enterprise play along. But this has nothing to do with females not choosing CS as a major, and it has nothing to do with females not entering programmer jobs.

Knowing a little about a lot of things allows you to generalize over them and learn new things faster.

For example, if you have dabbled in C++, Java and Python you are better placed to learn a new language than if you have exclusively used one of them. Even if your knowledge of that goes way deeper.

Not true. So if you are a JS developer who knows React and Vue you could learn Angular (same kind of thing) or learn Haskell (different) or Systems programming (different), and I assert the latter two things would deepen your knowledge of JS more than learning the library because they allow you to see JS through another lens.
Still, there's no need to be rude.

Exactly my thoughts on this.. if you could detect when the network was getting saturated or over fitted, spawn new layers. Maybe this would allow starting with much simpler networks, operating on lower rez inputs, and then scaling then up as you feed them more data, instead of burning cycles slowing training a large network from scratch.

If I want to contribute to a project, it’s super helpful to know what the canonical location for this is (“canonical repository” vs “pull from some random persons repo”)

If I want to run a FOSS project, I might not be interested in the details of managing distribution and security of some server (one-click software rather than setting up some server myself)

I also .... kinda don’t care about account management (=> using something that people already use is nice)

Peer to peer isn’t actually interesting for almost any aspect of a project. The main advantage is availability, but it doesn’t help (and can hinder) other objectives of running a FOSS project.

I think that there’s a way to get most of the goodies (see GitLab... kinda), though it’s a hell of a lot more work than “just send email patches around!” I think sourcehut is getting there though

I think this reasoning pins down the wrong variables of the equation. You can pick your housing and location based on not owning a car (among other criteria). And it scales too. And for decision-makers it's responsible to nudge your citizenship to this direction.
This is the key quote, because it implies that PG thinks that a startup is like a fat guy who smokes. In other words, you're highly likely to go bust, and competition is lower on the list of reasons you could go bust than many others (shit product, no market, wrong market, founder infighting, etc). It's because he focuses solely on high-risk-high-reward companies.

His insight might not be as useful if you're not running a high-risk enterprise. At the other extreme of the risk spectrum, if you're opening a new gas station, it may be useful to check where the current gas stations are.

If competition can put a serious dent in your business then either you're so big that you can't reasonably be called a startup anymore (eg Instagram vs Snapchat, Uber vs Lyft eg), or your market is too small to be considered a "high risk, high reward" company (and thus you're not a startup by PG's definition).
No, you don’t need to do any of that. ECS can inject secrets into environment variables in much the same way as Kubernetes. This behaviour is already built-in, there’s no need to build your own solution for it.

Because the right wing uses messaging that encourages people to think by analogy instead of thinking by first principles.

They pre digest and select information and feed those to the reptilian layers of their audiences' brains rather than present detailed information so that people can make decisions by themselves.

That's why most of their messaging is driven by fear: fear of other countries, fear of other people with different skin colour, fear of being replaced, fear of their women marrying or mating with minorities, fear of their jobs going away to other people.

Still with all their fear, right wingers prefer to listen to someone who pre-digests information for them rather than thinking by themselve, as long as that person's messaging is in sync with their fears, as long as their brains confirms the thoughts that are analoguous to their fears.

That is why the right wing has such an assortment of people with vastly different abilities. The range goes from Donald Trump (self-proclaimed stable genius, also Emperor-with-no clothes), Dave Rubin (Stokes fear for Koch money), Kellyanne Conway (everything for money), Fox "News" hosts (money money money and white like me or trying to be), Candace Owens (black but gimme da money and I'll say anything against my people), Alex Jones (just plain crazy but gets his money selling bone broth), to Jordan Peterson (education is evil but I'm an intellectual) or Steve Bannon (Schemes like Codfix).

These people appeal to right wing audiences because they think they are a diverse group and thus have concensus amongst a broad swath of society while the only thing that they really have in common is hate.

In reality the USA has always been right wing to some degree, but now that part of American culture just like the rest is spreading to other countries because of measures such as the spread of poverty, cuts to government services, cuts to education, offshoring and their governments just having zero plans for the benefit of local populations in the near of far future.

Shopify's Plus offering is also really shady. If you ever choose to try it out, they will not let you return to your previous payment processing rates (credit-card fees). We had been grandfathered in to their old (good) rates. But after trying Plus they gave us their new (much worse) rate and refused to give us the old ones. And this was after they lied about the rate we'd be getting with Plus. And after they gave us a low teaser rate to try out Plus.
I didn't make the claim that nobody cares about the poor, that was a response to my comment and I added some relevant information.

The groups I was talking about, the ones that "nobody cares about" might not come to mind immediately, precisely because one rarely hears about them, but there are so many examples of disadvantaged people who are never the beneficiaries of such efforts.

For example: numerous physical traits other than sex or skin color. Invisible minorities like eastern Europeans or middle eastern Christians. People who grew up in rural areas.

It's probably absurd to expect to define categories and provide special help to every group that could be defined. Instead, people should be judged as individuals, each of whom has faced a variety of obstacles and benefited from a variety of privileges, and whose potential can only be evaluated by considering the whole person, not a few checkboxes.
