That might have been the intent of helm, but it does not at all reflect the reality of using it in the experience of most people I've spoken with, especially pre-3.0.

I've lost track of how many times helm has misrepresented the result of upgrade operations, even returning success when it actually failed, and what should be routine upgrades often break in ways that require detailed knowledge of both kubernetes and helm to recover from.

Yes, conflicts and failures do sometimes happen with package managers, but with helm we've seen it happen with nearly every Chart at some point or another, from the simplest single-resource pipelines to widely used community projects.

Helm 3 will help, but it's still built around the same messy string-templating system that ensures Charts are fragile and difficult to understand.

Sounds like FedEx wants a public forum to push Reaganonmics. Arguing for trickle-down theory is a bad look, FedEx. 'Creating jobs' is not an excuse for skipping out on taxes. You invest to grow your business but you still need to pay taxes.

If I invest all of my money in a house I create, at least temporary, jobs. I push a bunch of cash through the economy in taxes, fees to a number of services, etc. I would have invested a lot into the local economy. Should I then get to skip paying taxes for one or more years? I mean, I'm creating or sustaining jobs.
That's mostly the case, though it's possible to have substantive real-time debate.

You need a strong format, with ample time and good faith actors who will steel man each other's positions instead of strawmanning them.

I think you're deliberately misrepresenting what I meant.

The current PM of India campaigned on a "Clean India" effort to tackle open-air defecation by building millions of toilets. Now, you can argue the efficacy of this effort, but arguably, the entire scheme requires adequate means to actually flush the toilets, which requires water, which requires infrastructure. All I meant is that efforts to minimize the amount of water required (i.e. the coating in the article) could be helpful here.

Another place where this can be helpful is in areas that aren't covered by sewage infrastructures, like houses that are on septic tanks, or campgrounds/parks with outhouses.

I'm not an expert on this matter, I'm just suggesting that I can see how it might be helpful.

That's a silly argument for something like bios files that would take up less than 0.1 to 1% of the size of current storage that they are maintaining and which will only grow.

I'm actually curious how many people are injured during "urbex" type activities? It might be a little harder to figure this out than you'd expect because the statistics would also likely count the homeless person that breaks into a warehouse and ODs.

While the people are definitely in a more dangerous environment than usual, they are also likely to be on guard for hazards so I'm guessing the number of people actually hurt/killed doing these activities is very small.

> This directly contradicts what the NY Times wrote.

It does not. FTA:

> But the company ended its 2018 fiscal year having spent $240 million less on capital investments than it predicted it would in December 2017, shortly before the tax cuts passed. The company’s capital spending declined by nearly $175 million in fiscal 2019.

---

> And then they further point that the NY Times is actually guilty of what the NY Times is accusing FedEx of.

The NYT didn't lobby in favor of the tax cuts and argue it would increase business investment, then fail to actually follow through - not to mention that regardless of the NYT's corporate actions, this has nothing to do with their reporting - and on top of that, the article is about the expected effects of the tax cuts vs. the actual effects on a national level with FedEx as a salient example. Countering with "but they did too" is irrelevant to the point at hand.

> The NY Times is obviously not aware of anything FedEx did that is illegal so instead they put out a piece accusing them of paying $0 tax and not investing enough.

You are ascribing motive to the authors that has no basis in fact. The NYT is making the argument the tax cuts didn't do what they were advertised to do. It's the literal subhead on the article:

> How FedEx Cut Its Tax Bill to $0: The company, like much of corporate America, has not made good on its promised investment surge from President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
Note that you need to be very careful about this if you have a public repository that accepts PR's from third parties. There is nothing stopping someone from adding this via a PR:

- name: Give me this person's NPM token
run: cat ~/.npmrc

Even if you have it locked down so they can't see the build output, they could just add a curl command to post the contents of your .npmrc file to their server.

A number of open source projects have been hacked this way in the past. This is why I keep my NPM publish entirely isolated from the Github repo. I review every PR that is submitted to me carefully, but don't want any chance of accidentally merging in a malicious PR that will compromise my NPM packages.

Since when are we supposed to read the articles? /s

Seriously though, I do not have a NYT subscription (my guess is only 10-15% of HN readers do), and I don't even bother trying to get around the paywall. I just go straight to the HN comments where you can find enough details to understand the story. This works fairly well for NYT articles because the headlines are usually clear (not clickbait) and you can assume the facts are generally accurate.

The point is that the comments will discuss the surprising or unusual parts of the story, and those are the ones I'd be interested in too. Then people also post the scientific article or links to other background info if you really want to dig.

If after reading the interesting comments, I want to comment myself, I'll go back and read the article to make sure I don't repeat something that was already written.

My biggest triggers are people who eat crunchy food with open mouths; people who slurp their drinks; people who are oblivious to their environment and sing loudly in open offices.

Colleagues next to me eating hard carrots, chips, anything crunchy. Or Chinese expats who slurp their soup and coffee (normal in their culture; rude in mine)... it drove me crazy.

The singing one drove me insane at my last job. An office lady walked around the office, she would loudly and falsely be singing nonsense like: "LALALALA POMPOM PIEWPIEW LALA" (verbatim) and sometimes fragments from pop songs, in her broken English: "I CAN'T GET NO SASIFICTION LALAPOMPOM".

I wanted to murder her. No joke. If I could get away with it, I would have. The anger was physical and deep. Rage and disgust was the feeling, and I felt personally attacked. It felt like a "fight or flee" instinct, where I'd prefer to fight.

Many angry looks thrown at her (not just from me!) didn't make any difference. She must've felt like she was a rock star or something.

On my last day in the office I mentioned her to the rest of the office. Turns out everyone was annoyed by her. Nobody spoke up.

I have misophonia. The hospital close to my home in Amsterdam did a lot of scientific research into it. And nowadays I work from home, fully remote, as a software engineer. Life is good.

They also would probably be able to distinguish yellow+blue from pure green.

Also, if you mix R+B, that's magenta, and if you start mixing in blue it will turn white or gray. But if you can see yellow, RYB would look different from R+a little g+B, which is what RYB would look for trichromats, I think.

I think a little bit of silicone is a smart trade off to save a lot of toilet-cleaning chemicals and compared to a toilet brush this is an order of magnitude better.

It would be interesting to know how many hacker-news users actually clean a toilet regularly. I'm guessing not many if any but that is an outrageous assumption. I know you will still have to clean the toilet after a spotLESS application but it will be easier and use less detergent.

Does the silicone lubricant have to come in a spray application or could you license spotLESS lubricant to the likes of Toilet-Duck to incorporate into toilet cleaners? If councils treated their sewers with the nanohair layer would the silicone lubricant floating past keep it lubricated.

It's a shame that the swoosh logo is already taken.
I have the Sennheiser HD380 Pros for this purpose (originally worked in an open office with hard ceilings and floors, now work in a home office with kids). They work quite well. I haven't compared them to active noise cancelling, but I'm pretty satisfied. If I need total isolation, I put in foam earplugs, then put on the headphones, then play white noise over them.

One thing I would recommend is getting an aftermarket set of earpads, as they're far more comfortable and they do a better job of sound isolation. I just got some pads by Brainwavz because the originals wore out, but I wish I'd done it a while ago because of how much better the isolation is.

In my attempt right now, I do get many articles about Ukraine, but every single one of them includes the word "Germany" in some form.

I belief this is an effect of Google News emphasising recency in its ranking algorithm.

Interestingly, your complaint is almost the opposite of the one often made on HN, namely that people would prefer a somewhat dumber but very literal search interface. It also shows why that wish's fulfilment might end up disappointing people: In the snippets I get, "Germany" gets included in these articles in all sorts of irrelevant ways, including navigational links that really aren't part of the story ec.
"Corporate owned" being ok to trespass doesn't seem quite right. I would think it would be more like actively used vs. abandoned. Breaking into an active warehouse or corporate office seems to be a lot more dubious than breaking into an abandoned factory.

It has some weird defaults though, eg the "create node on click" is weird. Turn that off :-)

It has lovely alignment features, making it super easy to make clear diagrams. It doesn't align things to a grid, but to surrounding nodes/edges in a really nice way. Try putting two nodes besides one another, and then a third one next to it. It'll auto-align the spacing so the three boxes are evenly spaced.
Not only repairability, but the battery can't be changed not even by paying Apple to do it. And with such a tiny battery, cycles will accumulate rapidly, degrading its performance.

>the NYT is a business primarily focused on seeking profit, no different from FedEx

That is incorrect, albeit precisely what FedEx (and many other subjects of investigative journalism) would like us to believe.

When "all news is fake news" becomes widespread public perception, that public is doomed to authoritarian rule, most likely by leaders backed by the business elite.
The original pamphleteers were largely activists. Thomas Paine et. al. People argue they were the prelude to journalists.

There's different kinds of bias/activism.

1. Publishing an opinion with facts (blog post/activism)

2. Publishing only the facts that support your political opinion without your political opinion.

3. Publishing all the facts but only while investigating the people you disagree with (not the people you agree with)

4. Investigating all the facts to settle publicly made allegations by politicians or political figures.

So while 1/2/3 might be seen as activism -- #4 is not. If people make the claim that the IRS is toothless when it comes to enforcement of tax collections on large corporations -- finding out the facts is a good way to help settle public debate.
It looks like this is an excerpt from Possible Minds: 25 Ways of Looking at AI, which explains why past Wiener the focus is entirely on artificial intelligence researchers and commentators: first McCulloch and Pitts, then von Neumann, then Minsky and Simon, Kurzweil, and finally Hawking and Musk.

It's an odd line to take, though, since artificial intelligence has never been the sole or even central focus of cybernetics. There was a relatively explicit split in 1956 at the Dartmouth workshop, but the piece follows the AI thread from there on with no real acknowledgement that there was any other path in effect. Beer and Forrester began their cybernetics-related work around 1960, and so the article seems to drop them entirely as no longer interesting. This is convenient for the overall thesis: Lloyd works on the limits of computation and Moore's Law, so he structured this article as "Wiener underestimated advances in raw computing power, but now that's dying down and so he's especially relevant".

But the offhand references to Wiener's relevance to unemployment, human-computer interfacing, environmental disasters, and warfare are cheapened by the speculative "what would Wiener think?" tone. His work has actively shaped the current state of economic planning, environmental modelling, and military strategy, so it doesn't make much sense to read him like an outside commentator on those topics.

Oh geez, yeah, I'm definitely not endorsing self-medicating with nicotine, just saying, that I did, and that if nicotine helps you concentrate, you might wanna get evaluated for ADHD.

I was never a smoker, and I vape the lightest dose nicotine available (3mg/ml). I have definitely developed a light addiction over the years, but I can go all day without needing my vape. The worst my cravings get are a feeling of "Man, vaping would be really nice right now." I even went on a week-long vacation last year, left my vape at home, and didn't even think about the nicotine I was missing until I got home.

But please! Don't take my anecdotal evidence and think it means you should pick up vaping! I know it's not the best for my health, and you may become far more addicted than I am.
