Early CoreOS employee here. CoreOS technology forms the basis of Red Hat's OpenShift 4. It was definitely a product driven acquisition, not any attempt to kill competition.
Not sure if it's because of rust (not super familiar with the language) but the syntax seems really awful
It still beats drinking samurai brand soft drinks
Infrastucture costs are higher for decreased density. This is well known. You have to lay a lot more pavement and pipe when people live farther apart. Your typical suburban subdivision doesn't even pay enough in property taxes to maintain their infrastructure, and is subsidized by the denser areas. The folks at StrongTowns have done tons of work in this area.
Took the words out of my mouth. Zoning laws need to be completely overhauled and changed to be planned by the state, not local government.

When you let local town hall meetings give their input on every single development, it heavily hinders the ability of housing supply to keep up with demand. States need to create universal zoning laws that adapt to different situations and if a building meets it, it's automatically approved, full stop.

Holding up development by town hall meeting should be for exceptional cases where there's a gray area in meeting the zoning law, not the norm.

Can you imagine what NYC would look like today if they let local homeowners block every single building until their every desire was satisfied? It would be a shell of the metropolis it is today.

Homeowners need to get out of their head this idea that when you buy a home, you're entitled to a neighborhood that stays frozen in time to how you liked it. The only thing they have a say on is their own property, and thats it.
Yes, let's get the government out, of deciding how tall houses can be.

Removing the requirement for a high-amperage outlet (a tiny incremental cost during building) is like an umbrella in a hurricane. Nice to have, but totally doesn't solve the real problem.
Like Nutanix?

There is also a lower focus on end of life care in Singapore, which makes up the vast majority of spending in the American system.

These issues are cultural, not just political or economic. I am looking forward to seeing what PC and TC can come up with for a common framework. This seems to be a tough problem.
2) Is a monopoly or a perfectly competitive business better for societal progress?

In theory, a monopoloy would be because you can make more profit and constantly reinvest more than any competitor into making better products and holding your monopoly.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen in practice, because monopolies tend to buy competitors in order to stifle competition rather than reinvesting and building a better product.

So I think acquiring competitors tends to inhibit progress because you are wasting money that you could be reinvesting into building a better product for society.
Success is one of those things that can only be measured with respect to a certain frame of reference. The consumer perspective(s), the investor perspective, and the employee perspective can all lead to wildly different evaluations of a project's success.

On the positive side, you've got the fact that they made it to a profitable exit, which would be hard to ignore if you had a financial stake in the venture. You've got the implication that Red Hat believed that CoreOS was essential to its fortunes in a container-oriented future as a clear vote of confidence that they built something good. The fact that Red Hat kept CoreOS going suggests that they felt it was so good that their existing technology couldn't realistically catch up.

On the negative side, if you don't like Red Hat then, yeah, that certainly counts as selling out.
Web3 Foundation | Site Reliability Engineer | Full-time, Zug Switzerland - ONSITE or REMOTE | https://polkadot.network/
Full posting at: https://web3.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=50

Nice comments.

When Trump became president, was it still Obama’s administration?

Given my knowledge on corporate governance and publicly held companies, I disagree with your first statement. The CEO and management team are absolutely the ones who define the ethics of a company and are legally responsible as well.

As for Teddy, I’m not sure how knowing his background and being able to public verify his moves would cause less trust then, for example, the other VPNS which you have no idea who owns them or even where they are located. Transparency builds trust in real life and there is nothing but transparency here. This isn’t a blind faith.

PIA has never logged nor has KAPE. Checkout the other providers and see what they have done. It’s gross.

Regardless of your decision and your comments, I appreciate your contribution to the discussion.

While I disagree with some of the statements in the thread overall, I recognize that PIA can do more to provide more comfort to people. Unfortunately, I don’t believe in blind trust and theater so all we can do is continue to increase our transparency until there is no need for you to trust us.

And to Zero Trust we are headed.

Happy New Year and thank you for the opportunity to protect you until now. I trust we did a good job, and one day, I hope we will have created an ecosystem that doesn’t rely so much on trust in the future so that you might return and we can serve you again.

Best,
Andrew
Doesn't this already exist in communal living places like Ollie in NYC?

The 5 minute introduction to Osquery
One time I did a "forgot password" reset on an old email account. Apparently young me thought it was a good idea to choose the 'pick your own question' thing and the question I chose was "What?"

...to this day I still don't remember what the answer was.
I guess it depends what qualifies as private insurance.

Use the scientific stack in python for that type of analysis.

Yes, anything with one function call per item is going to be slow. That, along with memory inefficiency of lists, is the reason why numpy exists.
I remember seeing a post on reddit from a school teacher describing the active shooter training they received from a local police department. Apparently it just turned into an opportunity for the police to berate and shout at the teachers and students.
Healthcare has little to do with health. Its this thinking that is the reason why Americans are declining in quality of life.

Stop blaming the other, its not making you stronger or better. Better healthcare will not stop you from drinking too much , eating too much, not exercising enough. No drug is going to fix your social anxiety. Drugs fix symptoms not causes.

This "health disadvantage" what is it exactly. I bet its lung and diabetes issues. We do it to ourselves. Once you accept that you will see the fix. Its not some billionaire giving you money , it you not giving money to the drug dealing (alcohol, unhealthy food, weed/tobacco/vape) billionaires and getting active.

Religion used to be a good way to get out before, a secular nation needs to find a similar motivation that gets people out of their houses. Maybe the worst drug is the media keeping us planted in our chair. Either way I dont trust the gov. so even if we put more money into "healthcare" they would fuck it up. Prove me wrong.
> the city passed a series of neighborhood plans in and around downtown that relaxed zoning and removed parking requirements, making it easier and cheaper to build.

Wait, you mean deregulation isn’t just a republican talking point? And restrictive city (and state) governments were the problem this whole time???
> Robots are used everywhere already. Everywhere.

That's utterly irrelevant - the parent poster was talking specifically about robots used against humans. And the reason it's dangerous, is that you no longer need to convince a human to pull the trigger. It concentrates unchecked power into even fewer hands.
I'm pretty sure I've read articles saying America doesn't currently have a permanent storage facility for nuclear waste such as spent fuel rods, and that the creation of one is politically controversial - have matters changed since I read those articles?
how well does your editor deal with the quasi xml?
> Prosecuting those with the least of means for anything less than heinous, violent crimes also isn't a good look.

So therefor just because you’re homeless you’re free to steal? That’s total BS, and also rots society.

The bigger problem is nothing is being done to make prisons better, or to address the deficiencies that allow people to become homeless in the first place.

Traditionally, metro areas would have not just one, but many industries (e.g., NYC with banking, fashion, journalism, law, or Tokyo which is the capital of most of Japan's industries, and the national capital too), but they would also allow housing to be built, and that did indeed avoid the kinds of housing crisis we're seeing in cities today that are practicing exclusionary zoning.
Who cares if you have to wait 3 days or 3 months? What matters is outcomes. If you wait three months, are properly treated and have a good outcome, that is a healthcare success.

If you wait 3 days, go deep in to debt, and get the exact same outcome, how is that better?

Obviously, people are not dying as they wait for their appointments throughout Europe. Otherwise their health metrics would not be so consistently better than in the US. Maybe focusing on wait times is not the right way to look at the issue.
And we should reinforce this perception by strip searching kids?

It's a good thing the innate right to self defense, from which the right to keep and bear arms is derived, is not subject to your unpopular opinion.
You got it backwards.

Madness is what happens outside of SF, where homelessness, poverty, drug usage, petty theft is criminalized.

SF is a beacon of hope. We don't throw poor people in prison just because they had to break into a car to get money for their daily dose of crack. Hopefully drug usage will be completely legalized soon, and you'll be able to get your drugs from the corner grocery store, and if you are too poor to pay for them you'll get them for free.

It's disgusting that in a city with so many billionaires people need to steal to make ends meet.
The calculation isn't so simple -- a lot of growth is efficiency growth: getting a lot more out of the resources you're using. Switching all energy production to nuclear, for example, would lower resource usage while drastically raising GDP.
This is fun cause I've got a side project going on that does this, but without decomposition, and with direct electrochemical conversion. It uses solid oxide fuel cells, which can not only consume hydrogen, but can also generate electricity from the CO->CO2 oxidation. My current work is on developing a gliding arc plasma reactor that can take solid waste and convert it to syngas, which is then desulferized and fed directly into the SOFC. I'm hoping to build a 5-10kw system partnering with an SOFC manufacturer.

I'm a sailor and I'm targeting the sailing cruiser community with it, although I recognize potential markets elsewhere. The idea is that when you are remote, in locations where supply chains and infrastructure are undeveloped, it is incredibly risky to rely on ICEs for auxiliary propulsion and electricity. You may not have access to gasoline or diesel in the quantities or narrow quality specification that ICEs require. And you certainly don't have access to fuel when you are at sea on a long passage. This system would allow you to use pretty much any conventional fuel, but it would also allow you to use biowaste, garbage paper and plastic (including ocean plastics), wood pellets, and even wet biomass like seaweed (the moisture content reduces efficiency, but is still net positive for energy generation). And it can produce energy on demand, instead of waiting around for it to decompose and produce methane.
I have made no assumptions; I believe I misunderstand you. Can you clarify your meaning?
I'm not a Rust user either. It's a lot of "symbol noise" to me, but I assume this is the kind of thing you get used to reading after a while. However it looks very annoying to type all those symbols, even if you have some kind of customized ergo keyboard.
> How do you avoid a race to the bottom in terms of housing quality when you allow said micro-apartments? Do we want a culture where the poor are living in barely livable wage slave pods while the rich are living in abundant villas?

I don't see how this is worse than what we have right now. SF housing is already dystopian.
As a Rust lover, it can be quite the hill to climb when you first start looking at it. Closures really weirded me out when I first started.

Though, you may also be referring to the "made up language" powered by the Macros. I agree that can be a bit much, but it's in my view no more distracting than React's JSX. Some people hate JSX, and I imagine they would hate this as well.

Sounds like there are externalities that need to be internalized, but not like we need to stop growing.
My guess would be "Chief Product Officer"
You could stick with the `head` pun with "Headful" etc...

or to go with a different spin and a double pun.

In the world of contracts it is often asked if some language "has teeth" As in, "will be bite them if they misbehave", or "will it bite us if we misbehave". Often this is even discussed the contract has been "givien fangs" if it will bite hard.

So in a world where large corporations would like to co-opt my broser to not be my browser. You could call it "fangless" has in you have removed the teeth that can bite me from my own browser, as in this browser can bite you, or if it tries nothing will happen. Also plays nicely on the capital markets acronym term of FANG who are the largest purveyor of sites that try to use my browser to bite me.

Or perhaps you could smush them together for a `reheaded (as in opposite of be-headed) fangless` browser.
to me this is a meaningless question.

it's so broad with so many variables, so many assumptions that you might as well ask if God exists and you'd have the same chance of answering it.

> During the great suburban expansion, houses were parroted as your greatest asset and your biggest investment.

The "investment" should not be "I can sell this in 20 years for a boatload of profit" but rather "I don't have to pay rent when retired, only property taxes + maintenance + energy".
I disagree, but I think there's something here worth figuring out.

Just like particle physicists aren't the only real scientists because their objects are the smallest ones, low-level programming (and FPGA/electronics work) isn't the only kind of hacking. People hacking genes with CRISPR are still hackers even though there are also people hacking the smaller components (at several levels of zoom) of those systems.

Look, personally I want really clean memory layouts and elegant lead routing, simple causal chains, and open, verifiable designs in hardware. Even without that I would like to understand DRAM refresh protocols, Bluetooth, USB, and every detail of how PCI works. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have time. (And honestly it's such a mess "down there" I'd really like someone to clean it up before I get in there.)

Re Java: after using Python+MyPy I've never appreciated Java more. I've read the JVM spec and the language spec more than once; I'm sort of a "JVM hacker", if you will. I will happily edit a class file with a hex editor to achieve an effect. It's a simplified machine that is fully specified; it's a kind of opinionated VM that, unlike it's Xen counterparts, attempts to jettison some of the annoying stuff from real machines. Also ironically, Java was originally intended for embedded systems.
What language will it be _next_ year?
Rust is not a drop-in replacement for C, it’s a drop-in replacement for C++.
This is a diversion and a false dilemma. What you're saying is not wrong in that people should live healthy lifestyles, but it is also true that the health care system is now strongly disincentivizing preventative care, early treatment (or any treatment) in a way that can lead to increased mortality.
And for a reference, we spent around $30 billion in the US in 2016 for healthcare marketing and advertising.
