I remember sitting in a session at a linux foundation conference where someone on staff at TLF was the speaker and took a shot at President Trump and his supporters. It was subtle but unmistakable. I think the shot likely violated the CoC but nothing ever came of it. I can't find a session video or I'd link it.

I remember hearing it and thinking, statistically speaking there are supporters of Trump in the audience. Later, when I brought this up with others, I found someone who was a Trump supporter who is uncomfortable about that attacks on Trump and Trump supporters are allowed. The CoC notes unacceptable behavior includes, "offensive or degrading language".

I share this because the linux foundation is over a global community of people from various countries. People have different opinions on politics and other beliefs. Open source is a place where people of many differences can come together.

Having personally seen a bias against Trump supporters makes me want see this be handled above reproach.
"We are blending complex systems that had never interacted together before with the expectation that they collaborate forming a single, larger system."

I suggest more people read the first few chapters of Specifying Systems by Lamport. Maybe the rest is good also, but that's as far as I got.

It works through a trivial system (display clock) and combines it with another trivial system (display weather).

Nothing Earth-shattering, but it really stuck with me. Thinking about it at that level gave me a new appreciation for what combining two systems means.
It's very common in the bay area to put biodegradable compost (paper towels, food waste, pumpkins, etc.) into the third green bin, along with the yard waste. The other two bins are for recycling and other garbage. It's not very difficult to segregate compostables, and I'm confident the rest of the US will catch up soon.
I regularly see posts that are...intense...on this forum, and many others. They make anything that Wood did seem pretty tame.

I guess any organization has a right to do whatever they want with their hosted services, but you might ask a certain Ms. Streisand about how certain small issues can blow up.

There's a good chance that Mr. Wood will suddenly see a great deal of rather...strident...support, as a result of this. Robert Martin is pretty cool, but not everyone is Uncle Bob.
Honestly, it is really, really bad.

The worst comments are of the "just asking questions!" type. The asker will preface it with an apology about them being "genuinely curious", and then continue by stating their "concerns" about how the established and agreed upon consensus was reached, and say they "couldn't help but notice" how the "other side" gets "suppressed/censored".

This type of concern-trolling is straight out of grassroots propaganda rulebook (which the asker is either consciously following, or has been a target and victim of themselves), and it's quite depressing how many posters here fall for it and engage the asker in good faith.
> If you're able to tell me a max level of wealth needed then you can likewise tell me a min level of comfort. So raise people up to that, and then what's the complaint?

For a democratic society to really work, it helps that individuals are more or less equal. Don't interpret more or less too rigidly. Past a certain point, economic inequality breeds democratic disfunction and oligarchy.

> Once you reach a good standard of living, what perspective other than envy is there?

That's is a pretty messed up perspective. If a dictator provides you with what he considers a good standard of living; is it envy to want to have some of the power he denies you?

I suspect such accusations of envy are merely a way to defend the status quo by delegitimizing critiques and proposals for change. I'm not saying you're consciously trying to do that.

>>> If political power is created from economic power, then you're just transfering even more power to politicians by creating wealth taxes. It is concentrating it further.

>> This seems to be hinting at a kind of libertarian worldview that sees the government and politicians as some kind of unaccountable independent power. That's not the only way to think about government, and I'd argue that it's a pretty limited and ultimately unhelpful perspective.

>> A more democratic perspective is not so opposed to the people gaining more power through their elected representatives.

> What does taxes have to do with this?

Some of your questions are getting tedious. I quoted you some of the relative context from the thread, so you can answer your question yourself. It's pretty obvious.

> It solves nothing if those politicians continue to spend poorly, as they are now and have been for a very long time. I hear no solutions for this, only claims that somehow more money handed to the govt will fix everything.

This is hyperbole and a strawman. No one thinks more money will magically fix these problems, but it's pretty clear withholding money from the government has caused problems and will probably prevent the many problems from getting fixed at all. And even if all the money is wasted, there's still some value gained from decreasing inequality through the actions of taxes.
Okay. So based on 20+ years of experience, I can say that most developers have no interest in automating deployment, configuration, monitoring, performance, logging, etc... Who should do this work?

Make no mistake--the Federal Reserve is not a government agency. It is a Central Bank, organized by a consortium of bankers to control the money supply of the United States and, by effect, the world. Episode 201 of the fantastic podcast Congressional Dish[0] really gets into the nuts-and-bolts of what the Federal Reserve is, how it was created, and what it does.

The Trump campaign has never made such a claim, though. They pushed "draining the swamp" in Washington D.C., nothing much about reversing "multiculturalism, immigration, feminism and racial diversity".
So many people on HN (perhaps more than other communities) think that they are subject experts on just about everything... well, sorry to burst your bubble, but we have aging nuclear plants we can't even take care of right now that are losing money, we have thousands of tons of nuclear waste that we still have no fking idea what to do with, nuclear is the past, the future is very cheap and efficient decentralized solar, paired with very cheap and efficient decentralized grid storage (batteries), the smart money already understands this.
Doesn't mean they're not, either.
Author seems self-righteous and does not understand what he is being told by Ben from Sendy. This is additionally evidenced by hundreds of lines of email and a blog post for what could be addressed with 12 lines of code modification.

Sendy is open source (albeit not free) and running on your own server. Ben's response says because you are using a customized webform instead of sendy's provided forms, that you need to handle the captcha code on the form and siteverify on the backend on your own.

Before sendy had recaptcha support you would have to modify the subscribe code to include a call to captcha siteverify. Here's some PHP code for how you call siteverify before proceeding with something:
https://www.adam-bray.com/2018/04/02/adding-recaptcha-with-p...

You can avoid running your own backend altogether now anyway since SES supports bulk template emails. You can store all your form submissions using a lambda/cloudfunction/webworker to verify the captcha and store the list. When you want to send email you can pull your list into something running on your laptop and then invoke the SES bulk templated email from there. You can use lambdas for pixels and custom links that update records for those users. I wrote my own angular-firebase version of this
I think that’s exactly OP’s point. We need to stop reinforcing this kind of behavior.
> Someone showing up with a MAGA hat ... to harass one or more of our attendees (which is unacceptable)

How does one "harass" someone by wearing a hat? If that is at all possible then no one can wear a hat because someone might claim harassment (cowboy hats - racists, MAGA hats - extreme right wing, Australian hats - cultural appropriation, etc).

If someone annoys the organizer of a private (non-government) event they simply have the right to throw them out if they don't like something about them. That is why it is in fact okay to throw out a guy with a MAGA hat (or a LG group organizer), but statists can't say it because it'd mean it's okay to discriminate. But they like to be able to practice discrimination.
If I said I'd invented a new technology that would have less deaths per Terawatt than Nuclear, what would your first question be?

I'm going to guess it was "how much does it cost"?

Because we all instinctively know that human life is precious but not priceless. even if we're not familiar with the economic scoring that's done on new projects that might save or cost lives.

If nuclear costs so much that we could save more lives by spending that money on something else, then it's not a good deal. Different people might die, but overall less people will die.

I know nuclear fans are a bit emotional and don't like dealing with hard facts and figures. The thought of a single person dying is too much for them to cope with and they can't make logical decisions as a result, but think about it for a while and you'll see that expensive but safe power isn't particularly helpful if there's much cheaper alternatives with only slightly higher death rates.

Plus I think solar and wind are actually safer than nuclear now, but even if they weren't, their cost would probably still edge it.

$5 is not micro. 5¢ is.
Perhaps you like your job but simply want better worker protections than you currently have (because of the existing power imbalance between workers and management, at will employment, etc). Forming a union is a legitimate strategy to arrive at that end state.

Telling someone to simply move on if their working conditions are suboptimal, to have another poor soul be put into that slot, is counterproductive in aggregate (but I can understand certain parties might prefer that outcome, particularly management), especially if someone would rather put the effort into improving their existing workplace for the benefit of existing colleagues as well as eventual new hires.

> They have a job to lose. Which starts to matter when you have a family, kids and mortgage to support. Then there's health insurance and possibly having to switch all your doctors.

It is illegal for your employer to threaten you, intimidate you, or retaliate against you (including termination) for attempting to form a union. Communicating the above as management could be inferred as a threat.
I think I've gotten a different impression. There's definitely a casual use of the word "addict" that is well-understood to be different than clinical, destructive addiction.

And that destruction is obviously where the distinction lies. One might label themselves a "coffee addict" because they spend a lot of money on coffee or find themselves more dependent on it than they might like. But I think the average person recognizes that is very different from a spending addiction that leaves you $100,000 in debt and fired from your job because you can't stop shopping online when you should be working.

>Catapults accelerate aircraft to the point of generating enough lift for powered flight.

Yes, but the reason they're used is because it's infeasible or too expensive to build an aircraft carrier long enough to have jets reliably take off from them without this extra boost. Even so, those catapults are fairly short: notice they're only a fraction of the length of the carrier.

They're not used in regular airports because they're not absolutely necessary, the way they are on aircraft carriers. It's more expense, and planes can do without them. However, there's a cost to this: the planes need bigger engines and more fuel to take off reliably. And bigger engines are less efficient overall (as in cruising). So there would be a significant fuel savings if you could count on having catapults on the ground to help get the plane to takeoff speed: you could downsize the engines, and carry less fuel, saving a lot of money overall per flight (not to mention all the carbon pollution).

Finally, the extra g-forces shouldn't be a big deal. There's high g-forces in a carrier launch because the catapults are very short. And until recently, they were steam powered. This needn't be the case with commercial aviation: they can use modern electromagnetic launchers, and they can make the catapults very long (as long as much of the runway), to have lower peak acceleration. Basically, the planes and passengers would not need to experience higher g-forces than they already do; they'd just be getting them from the catapult instead of solely from the engines.
What is happening to the USA? I am honestly more scared for our country because of the current pervasive political divisiveness than I am because of climate change. At least with climate change you have a few decades to prepare. The USA wasn't anything like it is now 20 years ago in terms of divisiveness, and it seems like the divisiveness is getting worse every year. A "cold civil war" I've heard it called.
The name is not the issue at all (or the domain name for that matter). They were highly dependent on organic traffic. They probably had a semi-large range of content marketing articles on logo design, branding design, design for new businesses, etc.

Those articles were driving traffic, creating soft conversions (people who create logos but don't necessarily pay for the export version)... Then they probably had a funnel to slowly move those passive customers into active paying customers. Probably a lot of those doing one time purchases.

They also have a subscription model but I suspect their recurring revenue coming from these is poor. They were probably making their money from one-time purchases the same way an e-commerce website earns money.

Enter the rename. That by itself is not a complex issue. Domain changes happen every day and Google correctly re-indexes your content under the new domain as long as your 301 redirect is set correctly.
But when you do that AND also broaden your content to include new areas, you're at the mercy of how Google's algorithm is going to reclassify your content. Since they created a broader offering, they lost specificity and Google hates that. So all their content marketing went to hell and their main revenue funnel started declining.

If you do this to an e-commerce website you will see the same results. It's like if you are a store that sells bed sheets only and one day you decide that you also want to sell kitchen items (slightly related but not the same category). If you do that, you lose all the relevance in bed-sheets SERPs that you dominated and it's kind of hard to come back from that.

If your business depends on Google, this can happen to you even if you don't rebrand. A simple algorithm change can damage your rankings.

TL/DR: Their fundamental error was renaming AND making their offering broader(vaguer) at the same time.

This guy's original comment, because otherwise others' comments will be taken out-of-context:

"A MAGA hat can serve as a useful heuristic for "likely to cause trouble".

The current zeitgeist of white supremacist violence and stochastic terrorism that revels in dog-whistle messages from the Trump administration [1] makes it simply irresponsible to not beware anyone who touts one. [2]

That said, a photo of someone wearing a MAGA hat is insufficient evidence of misconduct.

Unless there's more to this story (which there very well could be), it sounds like the Linux Foundation was reacting rather than following a carefully constructed process to handle abuse complaints and detoxify the community.

I'll be disappointed if this turns out to be the case.

KIAM is not part of the core Kubernetes system but it was a necessary component to avoid introducing a security regression as part of the switch.

Again, my point was that rather than trying to do PR damage-control it would be better to work to improve things so this doesn't understand. Someone went to the trouble of posting a detailed examination of a real problem with a fix and some references to upstream improvements. That's a lot more useful than trying to draw a line between one of two tools commonly used to meet security requirements when operating Kubernetes in one of the most popular cloud environments.
