I wonder how these type of nonsense "TOS" that are on so many Show HNs these days came up for the first time.

A fantasy name like "Pyramid Tracks" is not a legal entity. So it cannot operate a website or make a contract with the visitor/customer.
As the owner of the linked GitHub repo (also rendered on https://k8s.af --- thanks to Joe Beda), I highly encourage everyone to contribute their failure stories (I'm still looking for the first production service mesh failure story..).

Also be aware of availability bias: Kubernetes enables us to collect failure stories in a (more or less) consistent way, this was previously not easily possible (think about on-premise failures, other fragmented orchestration frameworks, etc) --- I'm pretty sure there are much more failure stories in total about other things (like enterprise software), but we will never hear about them as they are buried inside orgs..

BTW, I also have a small post on why I think Kubernetes is more than just a "complex scheduler": https://srcco.de/posts/why-kubernetes.html

Not every application will need MVCC/ACID eventually. As another commenter pointed out, you can always assert that RDBMS like features will always be needed and that NoSQL is considered "shiny thats why people choose it" but some people actually know what they're getting into and have made a reasonable informed decision on what kind of persistence their application will need and how to scale it.
My advice to new parents is to ignore most people's advice & trust their instincts. The best response to the deluge of "you're parenting wrong" articles is to tell the authors of such articles, politely but firmly, to go pound sand.

Sure, read books and articles to learn strategies you can try, tools for your toolbox, but ultimately, "relax–you'll figure it out!" is the best advice. Most parents care immensely about their children & this fact is more likely to lead them to parent well than any article or "tip."

Source: I've been a parent about my entire adult life (since 20), I have 4 kids, I've read a ton of stupid parenting articles, as a young parent everyone felt comfortable giving me parenting advice.
Could be anyone. Could even be several parties simultaneously feeding information to the media. The only unlikely party is the competitors, since it's not in their interest (in this case) to shit on Lockheed.
None of this definitively means it was done 'on behalf of', nor 'for the benefit of'. 'to the benefit of', perhaps, but an unwitting puppet is not necessarily an accomplice.
This is where we're at too, the timeouts just don't work -- same behavior -- running out of his room etc. What I've found is to give him a little of something he wants (5 minutes of legos) before I need something (getting dressed for school). That way I'm not trying to force something "right away" and thus avoiding a confrontation in the first place. Once the power struggle begins, there's not really a smooth way out of it.

You don't have to say anything, life can be like a game of poker. If your perception of reality is correct, you gain outsize influence, if it is incorrect (or more specifically "can't gain consensus") then you are poor or are imprisoned or killed. Do you gain a benefit by informing someone else about their perception of reality?

This is another Pandora's box. I can't tell you how many times I've received emails regarding my relationship with the company as an employee that are also then labelled as being "confidential", and thus not to leave the company's systems. (I.e., I'm not technically allowed to make a paper trail.)

Keep a record of your hours worked, and send them an invoice for the difference at the end of your employment there. Good chance they'll pay it to avoid the headache of arguing.
Maybe? It depends on how well Sourcehut does. Or, if I focused on consulting, I could probably make a very good living. If I were able to secure full-time contracts (i.e. 40 hours a week) at my usual consulting rates, I would be a wealthy man.

However, at the moment raising a family isn't a goal I have in mind. And I wouldn't characterize a desire to have kids as "average" - the birth rate is in freefall in the entire developed world and fewer people are planning on having children today than at any other point in history.
He published altered and forged documents alleging corruption, where said documents were provided by the Russian intelligence agencies for the sole purpose of influencing the US presidential election.

And Assange, knowing this, attempted to coordinate the release of these falsified documents with the Trump administration. While also prohibiting Wikileaks from publishing any negative documents about Trump.

I had the same thought :) The track "Driven" by "Blue Crystal Star" stood out to me in that regard.
I'm talking about projects that are beyond the "oh, neat project" phase and living in the "why doesn't your project work with XYZ??" phase. Money is required for when you need to handle tech support, handle multiple versions with backported security patches, and other professional software practices that no one would want to do for fun.
Not a chance. No one would actually pay 30% interest instead of 4% for a house, and there's no way the contract would hold up in court.
> So when my son was a toddler and through his food on the floor, me taking the food away caused a tantrum and made that moment worse. However, the next day (or whatever) when he had the same food, it was much less likely he would throw it on the ground because you could see him remembering what had happened before.

At the same time that you're training your toddler not to throw his food on the floor; he's training you not to take it away. Conditioning goes both ways.

You can try to fudge your data but the FDA is the most rigorous science based regulator in America and possibly the world.

And, the FDA monitoring of drugs requires more than Phase 1-3 clinical trials (which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce some of the most rigorous science in human history), but they also do post-release data analysis (so called Phase 4), and have even recently pulled drugs which are not meeting the Phase 2 and 3 standards for safety and efficacy over existing treatments (not efficacy over placebo, the results must show efficacy also over existing drugs).

Not to mention, the FDA fines of pharma corporations are some of the largest fines in American history.

So with the FDA you have

* A regulator using science forcing big business to spend 10 years creating scientific evidence that their product is safe and effective. No other industry on the planet has these requirements.

* A regulator using market data to actively govern products and pull products which aren't safe and effect (pretty normal)

* A regulator assessing multi-billion dollar fines pretty regularly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_pharmaceutical...

You might find this surprising but pharmaceuticals is a money losing industry in the long term. Most of these companies are looking pretty bad, they're spinning off any division which could potentially be profitable (biologics, medical devices maybe) but your average business of finding new drugs? It's not profitable, the regulation is so intense and the work is so hard and competition which ignores intellectual property is so damaging that it's very likely most major pharma companies will go bankrupt in the coming decades.

When you compare how much science the FDA makes drug companies do to any other industry, food, finance, supplements, makeup, cars, houses, anything at all... nothing else compares. A forensic audit is nothing compared to a Phase 3 clinical trial. Far less goes into proving a car is safe than a drug. Etc.

The FDA is doing incredible scientific work with an extremely thin budget.
It took me some time to realize that this is not part of the music... :)

Is there something the average police force in America does right? I know people often claim "you only see the bad in the news" but think of how often you have the following thoughts:

"I'm glad I had that run in with a police officer today"

"I bet this situation would be improved with a police officer"

"I want to go talk to that police officer"

"That police officer handled this situation optimally"

"I have a problem that the police will solve"
There are many forms of unacceptable behavior that do not make it into law. Back in sociology class they mentioned three categories, though I don't know if these days they are used.

Laws are the strongest, the ones which we agree to directly take action against people who break these rules. That could be a fine. That could be years in prison.

Morals or mores are the second, where we will tend to exclude people and openly speak against them, but not take direct action. What actually constitutes a social more is quite hard to define as they aren't written down as laws, often change, and often are based in part on things we don't want to admit (such as having built in racism or sexism). In parts of the US, being openly transgender is against the exist social mores.

The last is folkways, where we generally have an accepted way of doing things but not really one we have openly agreed upon, and upon breaking it we don't have any socially agreed upon response. These are the weakest and are things that are more weird than wrong. A man having long hair would qualify as breaking a folkway in parts of the US.

Why do I bring this up?

Because, while transgenderism isn't against the law, there are definitely parts of society where it is against the mores of that portion of society and with some people being strongly enough against it they want to make it against the law. They likely won't succeed, but even the punishments for breaking social mores can be drastic.

The law is not the end all definition of socially unacceptable behavior, and it is a given fact that some portions of US society deems being openly transgender as against social mores. To call this out is not trolling.
It should be noted that it only took 8 years for the line to be built in the first place.
> are completely ignorant of history and basic facts

Sam Peltzman's "Regulation of Pharmaceutical Innovation" does an evaluation of this based on statistics, and concludes that the efficacy requirements are a net negative.

It's not about the FDA scientists being incompetent. It's about the increase in cost is so large that far fewer new treatments are even attempted. Conditions that affect a smaller number of people are simply not worth finding a treatment for.
Would love to hear a concrete example of this. I love the idea but still quite can’t envision the execution.
I don't disagree but how much influence did they have? The biggest culprits for swaying the election is none other than the US media by giving Trump billions of dollars worth of free election coverage for profits. They knew the negative coverage was energizing his base but they did it anyone because money. Blaming the US media however is as useless as blaming Wikileaks or Russia. At some point we need to admit we have our own self inflicted problems and quit blaming everyone else for them. Trump is a symptom we have been going down the wrong path for a very long time. I'm not optimistic about the US ever being introspective about its actions but it's the only way forward. The problem is US, not somebody else.
Ah wow, yeah I had thought sling _was_ slingbox.
There has to be a process around defining what 'essential obligations and expenditures' means for the purposes of signing off on procurement - even if it the definition is 'because my boss says so'.

If not, this is the typical disconnect between defining processes (and laws and regulations and heck, even software requirements) and the practical aspects of actually implementing it. I'm sure it sounded good to whoever put this process together that only 'essential obligations' are procured because defining processes is easy and fun! Abiding by them is hard work.

Iceland basically made paternity leave 'mandatory':

> The country passed a law that granted three months of non-transferable parental leave to both mothers and fathers; an additional three months of leave was granted to the couple to share as they chose.

> By most measures, the law was a rousing success. About 90 percent of Icelandic fathers take leave. In 2007 (the most recent year for which I’ve found data), fathers in Iceland took 101 days of parental leave—almost exactly 1/3 of the family’s total benefit days.

* https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/04/paternity-leave-in-...

Of course fathers can choose to take zero, but then that time is basically lost. Further changes (ibid):

> The law was such a success that Iceland recently went a few steps further with a 5-2-5 policy: Mothers and fathers will soon each be entitled to five months of non-transferable leave, with an additional two months of shared leave.

Anyone from IS that can comment on this policy?

This is why coffee machines with timers were invented.

5 min before I go to bed, all I have to do is prepare the coffee and pour water, then press the button to activate at the preferred time interval. At 7:15 am the machine will start and there we go, coffee ready. The machine also turns itself off within 45 min, so you never risk leaving anything running.
>The report finds, in 2018, that 61% of adults would cover a $400 unexpected expense using cash (or its equivalent).

I guess the key question is, does the other 39% not have liquid assets to cover it and thus have to take on debt, or would they choose to cover it for other reasons? I have $400 in the bank but would likely put it on a credit card because I don't like carrying that much cash nor using my debit card (to reduce risk of it being leaked). So would I be in the 39% or the 61%?
