So I have no doubt that SQS is more mature than knative. In my case I am developing an actual product IN k8s (with around 40 new CRDs) , so my goal is to use as much of the platform as possible (including istio and knative) and avoid cloud specific services.

The value with k8s is that you can abstract the underlying hardware by using only k8s objects.

Unfortunately this is nothing new. This was a thing in mogul India centuries ago, it was a thing in Europe, it was a thing in Ottoman Asia Minor and it was a thing in Roman times. The rich have always wanted to have menageries to show off their wealth.
Mozilla (Firefox) management thought that installing a Mr Robot advert extension on people's computers, without asking, was a good move, and defended it until the internet outcry got loud enough. With management like that, I find it hard to trust them. Default-installing Pocket was also not entirely defensible and was probably money-driven.

Essentially, both companies have done anti-privacy and untrustworthy actions, and choosing the lesser evil is hardly ideal.

I tend to agree.

If someone has some anxiety about not understanding something, telling them it's actually pretty simple can just reinforce the framing they already have going in that maybe they're too dumb to get it.

I've found it's usually better to acknowledge that it's a little difficult or otherwise totally normal not to already know / have grasped the thing in question.

I think the intent is in the right place when saying "it's actually pretty simple" -- you want to provide optimism. The approach I like is along the lines of "this part is a little tricky, so let's break it down."
I wonder what a lawyer would say, but I suspect this has something to do with the right to cross examine evidence. It might be hearsay to just use a pre-recorded statement. If the defense thinks the evidence is bunk, they should be able to question 5440 about the camera. Cynically, this could also be a tactic using the right to cross examine to wear 5440 down. I'm not a lawyer though, so who knows.

My theory is that it began with the discovery/utilization of new oil sources in the US 5-7 years ago. The price of oil crashed by 50% and stayed there for most of the last five years. Many countries around the globe dependent on oil (parts of south america and the middle east) had economic turmoil beginning five years ago, resulting in refugee crises (venezuela, syria, etc.). Refugee activity helped fuel dormant nationalism rhetoric in europe and america, leading to Trump/Brexit, and other movements gaining steam.

Oil discovered -> oil price crashes -> oil countries crash -> refugees flee to us/eu -> nationalism

Exclusivity for games has always been the case, except for those who choose multiple platforms. When I was a kid, you had a Sega or a Nintendo, and so you had Mario, or Sonic.

IMHO the selection of games for consoles is much broader, and, overall, seem to generally have less initial issues. Furthermore, we don't get the awful DRM that causes us to go find a crack on launch day anyway, just because of the annoyance.

Microsoft's attempt to lock me into an OS I would never allow within ten feet of any of my computers, or any developer's, just means I won't use their software. No game title is worth having an awful experience with the rest of my OS, that's what dual booting is for.

Furthermore, Microsoft even offers its own console! If I want to use GamePass or an xBox controller, why am I not just using an xBox One (Pro?) - the lifespan of consoles and the length of time games will still work and be released for them, is far greater than the upgrade paths I had to suffer through with my PC growing up.

Microsoft is removing its own reason to use Windows as a gaming platform. I'd happily buy an xBox, but if I can't play a title on Windows 7, I'm just not going to purchase it.

If the developer doesn't care, and isn't willing to support it, sucks for them.

With tools like Unity and Unreal Engine, we have very, very little reason for anything but the biggest AAA games, which require seriously custom engines, which will have console versions anyway - to be Windows-exclusive.

Could you, off the top of your head, name five, significant PC-exclusive titles from the past five years that did not have a console equivalent? Not a rhetorical question, just genuinely curious. I've not heard of a single, standout Windows-exclusive title on any of the tech or gaming blogs I obsessively follow.

In fact, I've seen Microsoft make it even easier to directly port your games to xBox.

>> The first known crime in what is now New York City occurred in the 1620s, when the Lenape Indians scammed their new Dutch friends by selling them Manahattan island twice.

I'm not one to scream about micro-aggressions, but look at that opening sentence. It implies that no "crime" was even possible before the arrival of Europeans, that prior to contact native populations did not commit crimes. Either the native were innocent children in a garden of eden, or they were wild animals with no justice system.

Perhaps this was the first crime involving Europeans ... but even that suggests that the Europeans themselves had not committed any crimes prior to this deal. That's a big can of worms. I'd say, at best, this is the first documented case of real estate fraud in the land that would become NY.
How I got 7000 beta customers in less than 2 weeks with a $0 marketing budget
"The underlying hardware" has side effects. You can't exactly ignore them. And your cloud provider has non-substitutable stuff. Just as an example from my day today, by hewing to k8s you lose stuff like Athena and Glue for data analytics and ETL. I'm sure somebody out there would like to charge me 10x what AWS does to do a worse job of it inside of k8s, but no. So instead you get a Frankenstein of Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation and (poor and poorly expressive) k8s configuration and you've geometrically increased the complexity of your system, your failure cases, and the challenge of solving a problem when you're under the gun.

So your product might be fine, but everything that exists to feed it--be it monitoring and alerting or business analytics or security or even hands-on operational control surfaces--is going to be worse for it and create marginal drag every step of the way (either in terms of labor or money).

More and more (and your comments are reinforcing this position, TBH) I get the "it's a slick five-minute demo" argument out of k8s, much the same way that Docker brainwormed people long before it was good or useful. I have a cluster at home, and it's fine, but it's for play. I can't afford systemic drag from immature and possibly-wrong tech choices where I've gotta make money, though.

So, now you've had a chance to 'get more and more specific' (sic.), this is my understanding of your understanding of an optimal food production policy:

2. Non-vegan food where vegan food is not possible (the Norwegian uplands case).

Chrome decluttering by removing some features
I'm working on a music composition tool called ngrid (http://ngrid.io). I'm using Julia to prototype some complicated DSP algorithms.

It's not fraud to charge different customers different amounts of money for the same service. Fraud requires misrepresentation; failing to volunteer information like "you could get this service cheaper if you paid a different way" wouldn't generally rise to that level.

It may be a breach of contract between Uber and its payment processor, though. Often, credit card merchant agreements prohibit businesses for charging more for credit card payments than for equivalent alternatives. Maybe Uber is just flagrantly ignoring those terms, or maybe it has negotiated its way out of them.
Unclear how I feel about some of these features being removed. Is it just in the menu or are the shortcuts themselves going away too?

> Today, there's about $20 trillion in the global government bond market that actually has a negative yield, which means the borrower gets paid to borrow.

Not really. The yields are negative, but the coupon rates are positive. Most of those were initially sold with a positive rate, then went negative as buyers bid up the prices. The issuing governments don't get that appreciation, and are still obligated to pay the coupon rate. If the yield is positive at auction, the borrower is still paying to borrow the money.

The only way the "borrower gets paid to borrow" is if the initial auction sees bonds sell at negative yields. That's quite possible when coupon yields are 0.100% or less (which has been common in Europe and Japan lately).

Radio is even more full of garbage than YouTube!

Even without new vegetarian options at grocery stores, I've been okay with cooking once a week for 2 or 3 hours. Breakfast is an egg casserole/quiche with veggies and chorizo spices or hashbrown.

Lots of easy recipe options here, but it does help that I don't mind repeating meals for a week.

Very fast compared to what? Certainly not to Rust, and that was a Rust conference. Anything with a VM, even if it has JIT, is slower than a systems-level programming language that got no runtime overhead. VMs are slow by its very nature, simply because there an additional layers and more work needs to be done. If she meant support for non-blocking IO, that got nothing to do with Nodejs, it's an OS-level feature that's been around for almost 20 years. JVM can use non-blocking IO, doesn't make JVM fast, it's still relatively slow due to being VM in the first place.
Product agnostic? K8s is a product tho.
I've deleted the 'max-scale' and 'user-scalable' values from the meta tag. Let me know if that helps at all.
I mean, yeah, probably, but on the scale that organizations like the NSA operate on, making deals with smaller IoT manufacturers like Ring is pretty inefficient. They’d probably rather just use that keystroke to pull the video straight out of whatever cloud object storage Ring relies on, in a way that’s generic to many IoT video-capture devices by many manufacturers, such that their software can pull all those assets in at once.
London was also the epicentre of Atkins, eating lots of meat at every meal. It can change overnight. You can’t extrapolate from London whimsy to any long term trend.

> we have gone from 0 to 1 degree of warming in ~35 years; 40, if you're generous.

Because it got colder between 1950 and 1975. See:

> The Earth is generally regarded as having warmed about about 1° C (1.8° F) since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, around 1750. In 2017, two professional papers generated much debate in both the popular press and professional literature about whether this figure is correct. Schurer, et al. argued the rise is 1.2° C (2.2° F) and Millar, et al. claimed the rise is 0.9° C (1.6° F).

The Big Short’s Michael Burry Sees a Bubble in Passive Investing
Sure, PyOS_snprintf isn't a standard library function, but it's a thin wrapper to snprintf, which is. Python/mysnprintf.c is the location of the:

snprintf() wrappers. If the platform has vsnprintf, we use it, else we
emulate it in a half-hearted way. Even if the platform has it, we wrap
it because platforms differ in what vsnprintf does in case the buffer
is too small:

It mentions that one corner cases what happens when the buffer is too small. Not rounding issues.

The "the best ways to go about it" comment links to the protobuf code, which also uses snprintf.

The (what I think is the) relevant C99 spec at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/WG14/www/docs/n1256.pdf says:

> For e, E, f, F, g, and G conversions, if the number of significant decimal digits is at most DECIMAL_DIG, then the result should be correctly rounded. If the number of significant decimal digits is more than DECIMAL_DIG but the source value is exactly representable with DECIMAL_DIG digits, then the result should be an exact representation with trailing zeros. Otherwise, the source value is bounded by two adjacent decimal strings L<U, both having DECIMAL_DIG significant digits; the value of the resultant decimal string D should satisfy L ≤ D ≤ U, with the extra stipulation that the error should have a correct sign for the current rounding direction.

So either 1) "The C/C++ standards do not require formatting to round correctly or even be portable.", in which case Python and protobuf are doing it wrong and somehow this issue was never detected, or 2) The C/C++ standards do require correct rounding, but the case described by ChrisLomont didn't quite meet the spec requirements to get precision and rounding modes to match across platforms. Or 3), I don't know what I'm talking about.

I absolutely love Delillo and agree with you, though Pynchon too still resonates for me. That said, I'm allergic to absolutes. I do not agree with Nabakov. Stylized prose and dialogue should be read as a dialogue with the author because his/her voice saturates the page. Other authors strive for invisibility, for the reader to merge with their characters. I doubt, say, Nabakov could write an uneducated character that we could live vicariously through. His alliteration and punctilious prose would diminish the effect. He would also avoid clichés like the plague, though these are often expressed in natural dialogue.

Do police have any obligation to be honest in these requests?

No. Infractions would have to be prosecuted by the district attorney, who has no interest to get on the bad side of the police because he needs them to be successful.

Consider the case of Arlington police! Arlington cops were in bed with a drug dealer because he supplied the force with steroids. In return for the goodies, the police informed their supplier about the competition. The maximum penalty for improper access of records would be 10 years in prison, but they gave the bent cop just 1 year. It really does wonders to restore trust in the system.

Aren't these different things, though? Auto companies aren't platforms for the small guys to sell their things.

Nobody is saying it's impossible to sell your product without going through one of the big platforms, just that it's expensive and difficult to market your product without doing so.

Also, I don't think it's ever as simple as established companies being "old and slow" so startups can "disrupt" them. Some companies are old and slow in certain dimensions, but at the top of the game in other dimensions.

Further, established companies have inertia, which can work for or against them.
