> It seems we agree that as long as these 1.2T trees are living (and any ones that die are replaced), the carbon will be sequestered. As long as humanity can keep on doing that, the delay will be... indefinite. Are we in agreement on that point?

Yes, as long as there’s a cup under leaking pipe, the amount of leak equivalent to the volume of the cup is sequestered. When the cup is full and starts overflowing (I.e. your trees start to die) you have to figure out where to contain the overflow. If you do nothing, it will simply spill on the floor (I.e. dying trees will decompose), which puts you back on the square one.

> With the leaky pipe analogy, it seems you are worried we'll run out of room to put dead trees. Indeed, burying them is a great idea, and that can be combined with Hügelkultur technique to produce better growing conditions for other plants, including... more trees.

Somewhat, but not quite. The real concerns is that burying trees while you keep extracting fossils is absolutely bonkers idea.

Burying trees would make sense (though not necessarily be most cost effective way to do so) in the future world where we no longer extract fossils. Then, growing trees and burying them would (extremely slowly, and at a huge ecological cost) bring us back to previous CO2 level before industrial revolution. If you keep extracting coal from the ground, however, burying trees is insanely stupid and wasteful thing to do, because it would be offsetting the fossil emissions by literally putting the fossils back into the ground. Why go through all the motions with planting trillions of trees, if you could simply not extract the fossils in the first place?

> I view any carbon sequestration efforts to be a partial stop-gap effort until the world becomes mostly electrified and using renewable/nuclear energy.

Look, if you don’t bury trees, all you do is introduce slight delay in the system. If you want to use the trees as a stop gap, then it makes much more sense to use the trees as a biomass, that is, burn them instead. That way, you’ll actually in fact be carbon-neutral.

I don't think you would say that if you had read such a report.

The ones I have read do not feature three-word explanations, but rather say things like "the chain of events that led to the accident could have been stopped at any of these single points: <seven items> and would also have been stopped if both a&b had been done, or if both c&d, or both c&e" and then discuss how each of the many might be changed. They don't say "five of the links in the event chain were at a profit-hungry corporation, whose CEO should be thrown in gaol, then they'll know to do that differently in the future".

"Runaway corporate greed" is fine reason for a quick and angry post on a social network, but aviation postmortems are a different kind of beast, heavy on analysis and prevention, light on anger.
@dang — came through the Reuters article. Prefer it to the new Vox article, due to being factual and objective, instead of editorialized and showing bias.

Vox's article implies Google was in the wrong. Reuters makes no such implications.

I have no opinion on the topic at hand, but I am saddened that journalism these days falls far too often into the trap of being lynch-mob. I would've preferred to see the objective and factual article win over the opinion piece.

You're right about these things in my view. There's a lot you can do in a helm chart that you can't do with kustomize and patches. The helm template functions are powerful in their own right; you have conditionals, loops over ranges, you can define your own helpers, and then you have the whole sprig library at your fingertips.

You can't do any of those things with kustomize. And that's really the (admittedly very opinionated) point. I think helm is perfect for the role the project assumed for itself, as a kubernetes package manager. It works well in that role. If you follow the conventions (as you must if you contribute to stable) then your thing has full config coverage with sensible defaults, you can install it multiple times and everything is namespaced.

Like any package manager it's somewhat difficult to write good packages that have all these attributes. And I think you have to admit that a well-written helm chart that covers all the bases is a lot less readable (albeit much more powerful, stipulated) than a simple yaml description of the object you want. It really does constitute a separate API between the developer and the system.

For our own deployable services we don't need all those package manager-like attributes. What we need is for the on-disk representation of our resources to be readable, and we want to be able to make simple changes to single files and not chase value substitution around through layers of indirection. We'll probably continue using helm for stable infrastructure things, but for our own services that are under continuous development and deployment it's come to feel like a mismatch.

Don't bother with an MBA course. Just go read "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. It covers the stuff business tracks do for MUCH cheaper.

I was a business major for undergrad. I'm kicking myself for not having just started with a CS major from the outset.
> Error UIs don't need to be beautiful, they need to be functional

They need to be both. If it can’t be both, there’s as many arguments for it to be either human friendly or actionable.

I think it comes down to it being a human/machine interface, and what the human side does with it. If for more than half of the users the next step from the error UI is to rage phone their IT department, and a sympathic UI might actually stop them from doing it (or at least be considerate), I’d argue a friendly UI should be prioritzed over an overly informational one.

If it can be both, that’s better, but I wouldn’t be surprised if after user testing it appears it’s just damn hard.

Also having an error displayed on screen that can’t be retrieved any other way (logs, diagnostic dump on a console somewhere else, whatever) is a design choice I’d loathe way more than not having the error number on the BSOD.
No, my entire infrastructure is not based on AWS; this was a small side project, that didn't go into production. In part, because the network did weird things, and the support system wasn't very helpful. Mostly, because it turned out to be unnecessary.

What am I supposed to do to satisfy you here? After finding the network does weird things, and not being able to get timely help with, I should conclude that AWS will solve my needs, if only I paid them more money? If only I had wasted more time watching videos that don't come up against reasonable search terms, maybe I wouldn't have come to the conclusion that having an amorphous, uninspectable, blob of a network between my servers and the internet is a bad thing?

P.S. This may be a little of pot and kettle, but what makes it so important to you that I'm convinced that AWS is unicorns and rainbows and having more control and visibility is a bad thing?

I'm sure AWS has its perks; it's great if it works for you, and if you can take advantage of running drastically different number of instances at peak and off-peak, I think there's cost savings to be had. But when it comes down to it, I'm not willing to hitch my availability to complex systems outside my control, when I don't have to, because I don't like the feeling of not being able to do anything to fix things; and I get enough of that from dealing with the things that are broken that I can't control and don't have any choice about depending on.

Pretty much, as it would require the other party to make their own patents available to Tesla, or at least not use them against them - and Tesla just doesn't have anything like the patent portfolio that other manufacturers have, so they would be getting pretty much all the advantage.

The main reason for the success of 3dfx were drivers that let you talk to bare metal hardware registers instead of dozens of GL abstraction layers. The simplicity of it all is very impressive. This is something programmers absoluteley love. Hence many games supported it and it was very easy to write drivers.

Of course it is Boeing and airlines responsibility. But if for some reason that training was absent I would expect pilot to seek the information themselves. To suggest otherwise is an insult to their intelligence and professionalism. Of course pilots are going to take an interest in crashes on the aeroplane they fly! Particularly when it is the biggest aviation story in years. Porbably something that they discuss regularly with other pilots. That is why I think the poor training angle is implausible for this particular issue and just prejudice.

> You seem to be more concerned about UX than security. Compromising security for better comfort is not a very good strategy.

From my practical observation: People will go to great length to avoid dealing with a crappy UX. That can include falling back to "YOLO, I'll just use the same password everywhere" if the password management process is sufficiently atrocious. So I'd say good UX is part of the security concept, bad UX will compromise it.

> I've looked at Kustomize, and I don't think it's sufficient. For one, as far as I can see, it's not atomic.

Kustomize just applies structured edits to yaml. We run it to apply all the patches and output a single manifest file with all the resources, then send that to the master with kubectl apply. I suspect its as atomic as anything helm does, but I could be wrong.
The Voodoo was the indisputable king of 3D accellerators back then. Not everyone was running GLquake with a Voodoo card in their PC though.

I had an S3 Virge in my PC at the time. It was quite possible to get GLQuake running using a Direct3D to OpenGL wrapper, but damn it was slow. It sure looked better than regular Quake, but it wasn't really noticeably faster than software rendering.

Hong Kong is a super special exception that does not generalize. Approximately everyone became rich by using industrial policy: read Kicking Away the Ladder for detailed historical research. Our understanding of growth economics is not very good, so history is better guide than theory.

Experience of China and South Korea shows you can be very flexible about secure private property and functioning legal system. Or market capitalism and democracy for that matter. South Korea freely used eminent domain to build infrastructures like highway. It also declared everyone should trash all their electronics so that country can upgrade transmission voltage from 110V to 220V to reduce loss. Both decisions are considered good in retrospective.

What seems to be essential is investment in infrastructures like water, electricity, and transportation. You mentioned Ethiopia. It stopped stupid collectivization and is doing rather well recently. It's kind of mystifying why World Bank and like are against projects like Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. World Bank was also against South Korea's Soyang Dam, so it had to borrow from Japan. (Ethiopia is borrowing from China.)

We can use engineering to make the roads safer. Spent a trillion USD on road safety will save lives for sure. But maybe it is spend better on cancer R&D efforts?

The safest plane would be the most expensive and most uncompetitive since it needs unlimited resources and unlimited time for being designed.

Yes and there are a few self-hosted web based IDE options out there. I just happen to like VSCode, mostly for its flexibility and extensions.

I agree with free Snowden. But Manning and Assange had a history of leaking unredacted personal information that is indefensible. In the case of Manning, I might add that the leak didn’t show any major wrong doing. It illustrated some case of collateral damage, which we always knew (and the US military keeps public records of). It showed the underbelly of the US diplomacy, which turns out to be rather clean (some ambassadors commenting that the memos look generally very insightful and professional). And it caused some red faces of people who shared thoughts with US diplomats in confidence, and I don’t see how that could possibly be a good thing. Assange and Manning is really leaking for the sole purpose of leaking.
Nope, and it seems like nuclear physicists back in the day could have used some stronger opinions on the ethics of making nuclear weapons.

Audits can be hit and miss, I’ve seen high quality code review companies just miss major and obvious mistakes in the security by simply not tracing the execution logic step by step in critical code sections and instead just scan the code for common known mistakes based on code fragment matching.

I've been doing some work on link prediction in knowledge graphs recently with poor results on real-world data. These methods don't necessarily require a huge amount of data but they are very sensitive to noise and the 'density' of dataset. The benchmark datasets are, in essence, very easy to get good performance on. It's a real shame that metrics for these methods' tolerance of noise and sparsity are not reported because these are going to be present in almost any real-world dataset in far greater quantities than current benchmarks.

Great article, thanks for writing it.

> I’m curious about looking into kustomize, but the package management/rollback capabilities of helm are quite nice; is there a good “pre-baked” solution for that that doesn’t involve helm?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm only really familiar with helm, kustomize and ksonnet at this point, and of the three only helm took the approach of running a server-side stateful thing that could take responsibility for pseudo-resources called releases. I haven't followed work on the next version closely, but it will be interesting to see what changes as they ditch the client-server architecture. I assume it will be more like terraform with some sort of state file.

Rollbacks for us basically mean go back and redeploy the last good ref. The pipeline is completely deterministic from the commit. The underlying build system that produced the container might not be, but we don't have to rebuild that since it's still sitting in the registry.
That was never proven, yet they used an unproven accusation in the case against him and nobody seemed to think that was an issue.
That's part of the controversy, everyone vaguely recalls that but is unaware that those accusations weren't even brought to trial (https://freeross.org/uncharged-crimes/). He was convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics by means of the Internet.
"It's now fairly obvious MCAS was at the root of those two crashes. But, did it save lives in other circumstances?"

Very possible. The question is, should you use a plane with an unstable design in civilian air transport? AFAIK, a stealth bomber can't fly without the help of a computer to keep in in the air. But for a civilian aircraft this should be a very conscious decision and nothing that is hidden under band aid.
