Voting and protesting are ultimately pointless if the options to vote for aren't enacting the changes needed, and if the protests aren't causing enough disruption to people in power for them to change anything.

If you really want change, then you need to somehow climb the ladder of power and enact the changes yourself. Unfortunately, if you take the political or corporate path, you will most likely be so disillusioned by the time you get anywhere that you will join the other side.

You can also become a revolutionary of sorts, by leading others through your charisma or prose.

Of course none of these are anything a "typical" person can do, but in fact, a "typical" person really has no power whatsoever unless someone atypical manages to organize them together.

Right right, the whatabouttheUSbeingracist argument. The US does not put people in jail for political speech.
Yeah, but I also happened to run into production problems non of the k8s exports could fix or even pinpoint why it was happening.
My experience with AMP, immediately before seeing this article:

1. On desktop, I clicked through a link on Facebook, leading to an AMP page

2. The page was clearly meant for mobile, and looked bad on desktop; the images were full-screen size, the font was too big, and the text line length went all the way to the edges of my very wide browser window.

3. I used Ctrl+Minus to adjust the zoom, which fixed the font size but not the images or the line length.

4. I looked at the top and bottom of the page for a "desktop site" link, and couldn't find one.

5. I looked at the address bar, and saw that the URL was an AMP URL. This is the first time I have noticed that I am using AMP in more than a month.

6. I closed the tab and went to HN, where this was the top article.

When AMP works well, it's inconspicuous, so it's not so surprising that most of my remembered experiences with it are negative. Still, I think google needs to invest a bit more in preventing this sort of bad experience, because currently it comes across as "google breaking the web".
Is this why Google is possibly de-prioritizing non-AMP sites on it's search index, making non-AMP sites load slowly on Google Chrome, Lobbying against Net Neutrality, and doing many other things like implementing flagging for sites in Chrome that aren't encrypted?

If that was ever a possibility then it would explain a lot... But that's none of my business...

Not making any officially accusatory statements here though mind you. ಠ_ಠ
The problem is that many authentication mechanisms could create a dangerous skinner box for drivers that have decided to flout the laws and text anyway. If we have phone users prove they’re not driving by solving math puzzles or tapping a flashing square or something, you will have a driver that attempts to do that while driving. The same goes for doing something like putting an NFC pad in the passenger door. There will be SOME driver out there that will attempt to reach across the car while driving to unlock their phone.

Allowing passengers to use devices in any capacity makes it extremely difficult to build technological solutions to this.

I have bought a few used electric car batteries for diy solar projects on ebay recently. I have paid $200-$250/kwh.

For example a Tesla Model S battery module, 24V, 250Ah,5.2kWh, Panasonic 18650 3200mAh cell is going for $1,045.00 + 150 shipping.

That is $229/kwh shipped. For most of these batteries you will also have to buy a BMS and/or cell balancer.

I'd say the 'no talking/text' laws went into effect locally, the problem has gotten worse. Anecdotally, I would previously see people would holding their phones up in front of the windshield while they used it. This would at least reduce the time required to switch focus between the road and the phone.

With the regulations now in place, as you said everyone is trying to hide it. This usually means below the dashboard - so the driver is now looking _down_ at their phone. Not only does this seem to increase the amount of time spent looking away from the road (it's slower to switch, and so people are doing it less), it also greatly reduces even _peripheral_ awareness that something relevant may be unfolding on the road.

Lists don't make for such great discussion, because they end up being about the lowest common denominator of the items on the list, which is always something generic. Generic discussions aren't as interesting because there's rarely anything new to say about them. It's better to pick the most interesting item on the list and submit that.

What floors me about this article is that the data comes from phone users who have installed TruMotion based software. In other words they know their driving behavior is being actively tracked, and they STILL use their phones while driving.

I have to think a good amount of these people are actually unable to make the choice of not using their phone while driving, presumably because the habit is so deeply ingrained.

>I urge you to attempt to condense your replies into more coherent prose

My prose is coherent. I urge you to gain the intelligence to comprehend it. The only real option is to take english classes. This is not an insult, I see no alternative to help you comprehend english better other than taking a class. Seriously. It's not me, it's you.

> I'm not entirely sure what my takeaways from the above should be.

It's your comprehension that needs work. Re-read it if you can't understand or ask for clarification before you respond. If you have good english then honestly the only other logical explanation is your intelligence. Again not an insult, just observations.

>"OOP requires mutability"

It does THIS NEVER CHANGED. But many methods can be stateless. For your Program to be OOP there must exist methods that mutate state. It IS REQUIRED. If not then you're not doing OOP. Get it?

>Aside from the fact that the above is not true (the core differnetiator is all of those "features" listed in the OOP wiki), I have explained a couple of times now that I did engage in this to argue about the differences between OOP and FP. There are numerous differences, and they have very little to do with my (or your) original claims -- other than the fact that you keep trying to move the goalposts to this topic as a means to say that because OOP is different than FP, `noun.verb` must also be different than `verb(noun)` in terms of modularity/dependencies. You are broadening my claim substantially (straw-man).

Why don't you read my entire claim and respond to each snippet as I have done for you. Rather than take one of my claims ignore all the evidence I provided and go off on your own wild tangent and calling it a straw man. If you want to make my claim a strawman you need to respond to EACH of my points of evidence. I honestly don't even think you read my post. You just did a quick scan and used coherency as an excuse to avoid reading. I responded to your "kudos" as well, which was completely ignored.

>to which myself and two other commentors sought to clarify. The `function` above cannot be executed in the context of anything. It _must_ be executed from a context that has a reference to `state` (because `state` is an argument to `function`). Notably, this is the _same_ context required to invoke the `method`. Similarly, the context of the `function` and the context of the `method` are the same -- they both have access to the same variables (dependencies). So yes, `noun.verb` vs `verb(noun)` is just semantics; both the surrounding and internal contexts are the same. Choosing one approach to express the behavior over the other makes no difference in terms of modularity/dependencies.

Man, we're going in circles. This is crystal clear and you are WRONG. Read all previous post CAREFULLY. Respond to each point if you disagree. The logic is inescapable if you have the ability to follow it. If not this conversation is over.

I would like to point out that SQL itself standardizes a set of tables (called the information_schema) that can be queried, in a completely uniform way, to learn pretty much every (SQL-standard-formalized) fact about your database.

information_schema doesn't cover anything the DBMS is doing that's not standardized by SQL, though. This would mean that, for PG in particular, things like partitioning/inheritance, tablespaces, and the distinction between roles and schemas, aren't represented in the information_schema. (The objects do show up, but only as their SQL-standard "superclass"—e.g. partitioned tables just look like a set of regular tables + constraints + triggers + rewrite rules; table columns with special types look like their underlying storage type; etc.)

The information_schema also doesn't cover the pragmatics of the administration of the database instance itself, like, for PG, the type of data you'd access through any of the pg_stat_ tables.

But neither of these concerns are really relevant if you're building a generic tool that wants to prod at SQL-standard database objects, I would think. Just use the information_schema!

---

I would like to link here the relevant part of the SQL standards document, because it's actually a very helpful and thorough reference. (Even if you never program for more than one DBMS, just learning how it defines words like "catalog", "schema", and "object" will make reading any particular DBMS's docs 10x easier.)

But, sadly, the SQL standard itself is a proprietary document that you have to purchase! (See here: https://modern-sql.com/standard) This is a pretty odd thing, considering that unpaid developers of FOSS systems like PG need to reference the standard for compliance.
Liveness probes are used by the kubelet to restart the underlying container and are independent of the deployment object. This has come up before in https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/57187 but sadly, isn't possible yet. Your best bet is to create a new pod and hope for repro, or one way might be to have a configmap that is mounted into the pod that contains a debug flag that your liveness probe also looks at - i.e. "debug == true || curl localhost:6789". Not a clean solution but may work for the interim.
> From USERS PERSPECTIVE, AMP is a godsend.

This right here.

The first time I found myself on an AMP page, I thought "Holy crap, this page is fast and responsive!"

It was a couple months later I started seeing hate for AMP on HN and was kind of surprised. I understand the dislike of Google basically taking over, but I feel like Google is telling publishers "Since you guys can't figure out how to make fast web pages, we're gonna basically do it for you".

> AMP is Youtube for written content.

A few commenters have taking issue with this, but I interpreted it to mean early YouTube. Before YouTube became a thing, sharing videos online was difficult for a non-technical person. Just like YouTube made it easy to share videos, AMP has made it easy to make responsive pages.

Though a key difference is that it isn't hard to make responsive mobile web pages. Site owners have just decided that tracking, metrics, and advertising is more important than UX.

It is not impossible in the United States. This individual qualifies for both Mcdonald's tuition assistance ($2,500 / year) and FAFSA. FAFSA will more than likely pay for her schooling + books if she's starting at a community college.

I've seen cars burn, they don't explode like the movies, they burn. Like a couch.

Lithium batteries are much more energetic about their failures, "explode", and they can do so with only minor electrical or mechanical mistreatment.

A car in my garage is cold, outside of very odd situations it is not going to spontaneously ignite. Cars burn in accidents or when you are running them, not randomly in the middle of the night.

The "proper" safety for a large lithium battery pack is in a concrete sarcophagus or similar vessel capable of shielding and containing a catastrophic failure.
McDonald's tuition assistance is only $2,500 a year. That wouldn't even pay for the average community college's tuition.

This is the justification for remote. You get the benefits of a full salary while avoiding close-to-work living costs and commuting time.

There are other trade-offs, but it's hard to beat for low stress levels and free time.

Can you clarify what is scary about it :) ? Or are you saying using the command line by itself is scary? If that's the case, we do have Cloudron listed in the DO Marketplace (and in other providers like netcup, time4vps etc).
Yang's implementation is very regressive. You have the regressive VAT tax, but then you also have the fact that you are cutting government benefits then giving everyone $1000. So the poor just end up net poorer.

Example:

Now:

$12,000 a year + $12,000 in benefits = $24,000

$50,000 a year + $0 in benefits = $50,000

UBI:

$12,000 a year + $12,000 in UBI = $24,000

$50,000 a year + $12,000 in UBI = $62,000

The poorer person receiving benefits is actually poorer then before, relatively.

Someone let me know if I'm missing something.

Because many people (including managers) take HN seriously and then go and try to implement or push for this being implemented because they read it on HN. Unfortunately they cannot go to HN when a outage explodes in their face, caused by an unknown problem in k8s. There is no clear value proposition for using k8s. It is trading time to figure out what would make the most sense for a project for black box complexity in most cases and that is a very bad deal. You pay the price once for the first one and all the time for the second one. If I do not comment here then you have a nice echo chamber that all fine and dandy with k8s and there is no downside at all using it. Btw. it is not only k8s and HN supposed to be a discussion site not a fanboy club of broken tech. I understand that the latter is much more appealing to many people.

Notes from the article

* Total valuation $1.7T.

* They sell 1.5% of the company ($25.6 billion)

* Only 10.5% comes from foreign investors ($2.8 billion). If UAE and Kuwait investment authorities are buying with 1-1.5 billion worth, there is few hundred millions left for other foreigners. (Chinese have said elsewhere that they are interested).

* It was hard sell hard for locals.

You would think that the idea of IPO is divestment from oil, not just shuffling oil stocks between governments. The Saudi Aramco IPO was planned to be in foreign exchange and all the hype rumors told that it would be competition from exchanges including London, Hong Kong and Tokyo. It turned into local IPO.

It seems that the plan just failed and they push the IPO trough in local exchange so that they don't lose their face.
She's contemplating affording a car. If she can swing that, she can swing a used bike. Plus, there are, at least in my city, charitable organizations that will just give you a one.
Other than the low salaries, there are two compounding issues here:

– Transportation. The US is very unfriendly to forms of transportation that are not cars. There are a few exceptions, but these are exceptions. Good public transport or even bike lanes would massively improve conditions for a lot of people.

– Health care. Private companies are overcharging people and have made health care(hospitals and medication) unreachable if you don't have your costs subsidized by your employer.

– Education. Higher education would likely help this person. But how could she afford it?

This woman is literally living paycheck to paycheck, and your suggestion is to... put money into a 401k? That simply isn't an option for people living in poverty like this.

> Gain knowledge, skills, and have a good work ethic and it is not that hard to get ahead in America.

This is a really out-of-touch perspective. One's ability to gain knowledge and skills is determined by the amount of free time they have when not working, and when you're only earning $9.50/hr, you have to spend a _lot_ of your time just earning enough to scrape by. It _is_ hard to get ahead in America when you're poor. Lifting oneself out of poverty is not easy to do here (or anywhere). If it were, we wouldn't have nearly 30% of our country's inhabitants living in or very near to poverty levels.
