With a field as large as "health experts" it would be a bit much to ask for a majority. Do you think that the many health experts, the fact that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is publishing a DST position statement, and the long list of chronobiologist societies doesn't suggest there is a pretty good consensus?

You will always have a ton of ambivalent health experts on the matter because for most health experts this isn't their field.

The difference is that Kubernetes is portable from cloud to cloud. Also, when you invest in learning Kubernetes your knowledge is both portable and durable. This fact made a huge difference for me, because I am not a backend dev, so I am not willing to invest time in learning something unless my the knowledge I acquire is both portable and durable.
I've been biking to work >10 miles each way for about 9 years now and I understand where this is coming from: when an inattentive/careless driver cuts us off it feels as a personal attack, because if an accident happens the results are equivalent. This means it's natural to start feeling personally targeted when drivers do stupid things around us in traffic. But I'd caution letting our natural feelings drive our opinions. Not all drivers do those things and I suspect most of those that do have no idea of the danger or the threat they create. It's not malice so it shouldn't be payed back with hatred, especially not generalized to the entire driving population. All that does is to further the "us vs them" mentality which is already a huge problem when trying to make drivers understand how they should act around bikes, it's not helping.
$150/day for, maybe, one or two days a year is far cheaper than buying a $25-50K pickup, maintaining it, gassing it and dealing with the stress of driving a huge vehicle-- all so you can haul stuff, "if necessary".

They're status symbols like Porsche's or Tesla's, but for a different demographic, one that gets defensive about admitting they just want to drive a truck because it makes them feel good.

IM is really great for sexting but it’s not great for anything professional IMO. Transcripts aren’t always saved and you can’t trust the transcript from a lot of clients (I had one person who would often edit messages to completely change their meaning after sending them, I had to make a habit of screenshooting IM conversations.) If you really need to have a conversation and can’t talk to me in person you can probably get my phone number.

That's a very astute observation. I've found it crazy hard to try and improve existing spreadsheet workflows for farmers as we dig deeper into the domain.

Sysadmin tools: 11 ways to use the ls command in Linux
I do not disagree with you but most of the time there is just some silly narrative, too many irrelevant details that do not add to the story.

This story is actually not bad at all because it is well backed with interesting information.
Back in 2018 I wanted a small beater truck when I bought a house (to move tools, lumber, garden stuff, etc). I was originally looking for a first generation Toyota Tacoma (later models are F150-sized), but was surprised that the 20 year old trucks were still selling for $12-14K. The lack of small trucks in the US is partially caused by bad regulation [1] that penalizes them (I am surprised the article doesn't mention this).

I wound up getting a Japanese kei truck [2]. It was under $4,000 to import, title, etc. It gets 50mpg (4.7 liters/100km) and carries 880 lbs (400kg) in the 4.5x6.5ft bed (1.4x2m). You could use a large-ish garden shed as a garage if you wanted.

It's really the perfect city utility truck if you are mainly a weekend warrior making trips to the hardware store, moving around plywood and tools, occasionally helping friends move apartments, etc. You can parallel park it damn near anywhere, turns on dime, and it's incredibly mechanically simple and easy to repair.

Only thing it lacks is modern safety features (for regulation reasons, it's only easy to import and drive trucks > 25 years old in the US). The one marginally common thing it can't do that a large modern pickup can is tow a boat (kei vehicles are limited to 63 horsepower).

If this gets super serious I could see it really tip telework into the mainstream and be good for essentially anything that helps with that: SaaS, network virtualization, remote access, file and resource sharing, p2p transfer and communication tools, and so on.

I'd like to make a side comment that this kind of talk should never be misheard as celebration of misfortune. It's just that given the misfortune it's good to ask how it will affect the market. It's no different if the change is something great like a natural resource windfall, the end of a war, etc.

If you let the market respond, it will just price in the UBI, and you'll end up with pretty much the situation we have today, only with prices increased by some amount and some added bureaucracy.

> maybe [...] we discover that people working in an office should, once a week, empty their own trash cans

They can do that today, it's just more efficient to pay somebody else to do it than to have you, a highly-paid software developer, do it. It's more efficient to have you do complicated software things than mopping floors and emptying the trash can.

I'm all with you that there's a disconnect in today's wages where high-skill knowledge workers get out-of-proportion amounts of money while low-skill manual labor is basically priced at the minimum amount you need to survive.

I don't believe that UBI will solve that if you keep everything else (that is: markets) the same. And I don't see any compelling argument that some (new or old) alternative system that you or I or some people that are way smarter than us could come up with would work more efficiently than our largely-self-optimizing market system. So I'm not a fan of "well, out with the markets if they are what's holding us back", because the risk of it failing catastrophically are just too high to go "well, maybe it'll work this time".

I'm happy to be wrong, and I'm far from an expert on any of this, but there's too much hand-waving in UBI suggestions for my taste. Some proponents seriously claim that "doing away with be bureaucratic overhead" would be enough to finance UBI, and I'm dumbfounded that they haven't even done any rough guesstimates of the numbers to realize that they are wrong by orders of magnitude.

Controlling inflation will be a massive issue, and I don't haven't heard any convincing answers.

If you find a way to convince the super majority that "more more more for me me me" isn't going to make them happy in the long run, that more cooperation etc will benefit everyone (including themselves), the chances are certainly better, but let's find a way to convince them first and then change the system and not change the system and pray to any and all gods that they will become convinced to avert a catastrophic failure.
I'm sort of in the opposite camp — I remember there being a non-trivial reason for moving over to iTerm several years ago, but now it's just become a habit and I can't for the life of me remember why I'm using it still.

I’m pretty sure dreams correlate with deep sleep and REM, and that being exposed to stimulus with dialogue like TV (ie, not things like constant fan noise, wind, ocean sounds, etc) will keep you from reaching that deep sleep.

I’d be cautious about doing what you’re doing long term. I think you’d be better off learning to let go of stressful thoughts before bed, and to make your bedroom a very calm, peaceful, non work related place where all you do is rest and relax. Watching old tv shows before bed, or while on a timer that will turn off when you’re asleep, sounds like a good way to get you relaxed, but I don’t think it’s great to have that type of stimulation continue during sleep.

I’ve done the same thing you’re describing during high stress periods with podcasts, and while it’s better than letting worries keep you up, I find myself feeling more “shallow” and less insightful/less rested if they stay on throughout the night. When I allow myself to relax and drift off without distraction, I find myself feeling much more “full” and “together” in the mornings, particularly if I take the time to go over and record my dreams.
That number doesn't surprise me. Your quick $1000-$2000 estimate is probably accurate for a typical office worker, but the more specialized positions skew the average. I work in mechanical/aerospace engineering for a large company. A lot of the software we use is very specialized and very costly. Here's the yearly costs from the top 4 softwares I use based on a quick google search:

1) $35,000

2) $15,000

3) $10,000

4) $4,500

So I'm costing the company ~$65,000 per year in software licenses alone.
There are lots of ways to avoid learning Kubernetes, but why? Kubernetes is so well designed and easy to learn and use!
If you default on the payments after spending the loan, how will they collect? There's no collateral to sell to recoup the principal, and the government isn't obligated to back up the loan you took, only to keep paying you UBI going forward.

Therefore, the loan would have to be dismissable in bankruptcy. So a UBI loan basically reduces down to nothing more than an unsecured "personal loan", which is something you can get today, albeit at very high interest rates:

Not really - resolve all backend servers to IPs and list all of them as the nginx backends. When a backend server is removed, update nginx backends.

Round-robin balancing using DNS towards a small cluster is silly - you know when any new instance is added to the pool or removed from a pool, so why not push that load balancing onto the load balancer which in your case is nginx?

Knowing the precedence and knowing it well is necessary so that you can read code quickly and accurately. Not so that you can write code using the minimum number of parentheses.

Sometimes, even when you have the power to add parentheses to existing code and merge the commit, you still have to know what the unmodified code is doing: just so that you're sure your readability improvement is not changing the behavior, for one thing!

You can be looking up precedence tables all the time, or adding prints to test things empirically run-time.

Utility trailers are cheap and require hardly any maintenance. The model I have is really cool in that it stands up on end, so it takes up very little space in the garage.
I've heard contractors complaining that they can't get cheap basic work trucks anymore. That was one of my thoughts about people complaining about non ones going to buy an electric vehicles because 'too expensive'. Have they priced a full sized truck lately?
They're not saying it explictly, but when they talk about cutting costs now, they mean laying people off.
Yes, so using that method and excluding Gerald Ford it would be the age of George W. Bush when he was re-elected, so about 59 years old.

Clinton 46 years 154 days
Clinton second term
Obama 47 years 169 days
Obama second term
Carter 52 years 111 days
Bush Jr 54 years 198 days
Bush Jr second term
Johnson 55 years 87 days
Johnson second term
Nixon 56 years 11 days
Nixon second term
Bush Sr 64 years 222 days
Reagan 69 years 349 days
Reagan second term
Trump 70 years 220 days

Nevertheless, I wouldn't use the term "old age" regarding any of these presidents, with the exceptions of Reagan and Trump.

Here's my point. The author of the article wrote: "One possibility is that it’s mere randomness. It’s only one election that’s been roiled by Trump, you might think, and younger blood is waiting in the wings."

I believe this is the mostly the correct answer. No, it has nothing to do with Trump, but, yes, it is just randomness. Younger blood will come again the future, as it has in the past. I'm not convinced by any of the proposed arguments to try to prove the opposite.

Just one example, "Older politicians have had longer to build up donor networks, and older rich people may be more likely to take the risk of self-funding. If Jeff Bezos had quit Amazon to run for president this year, he would have given up years of peak earning and peak productivity in the private sector."

Sure, that's true, but that didn't stop, for example, Clinton or Obama from getting elected long before they were old, because there are many other factors at play other than those mentioned above by the writer.

Briefly, there's no way to know now who will be the candidates in the 2024 American election and how old they'll be.

A few years ago I was in the market for a small beater pickup. I was looking for a late 90s Tacoma (before they started making larger models to compete with F150), but was surprised that those still regularly go for $12-14K in good condition. I wound up getting a Japanese kei truck (I describe in another comment in this thread).

EndpointSlice is a really bad cherry pick. I have written K8S controllers for 2+ years and only recently learned about it when I had to write an ingress controller. Funnily enough I also had to learn about externalTrafficPolicy because it turns out if you have a lot of pods and use an AWS ELB the traffic distribution can be terrible, so a daemonset with local-only routing to them and then round-robining to pods works wonders.

You need to know none of this if you're not even close to the level of scale we are.

Sharing my perspective here.

The greeting is irrelevant because truly neither party of the message cares. That's okay too. You have a question, I probably have an answer so just ask your question.

The absolute most respectful thing you can do to the person you are messaging is to send as much info as possible in the original message and then let them respond. If you do need to engage first with something like "do you have a moment for a question?" then still write your question first so you can copy/paste it immediately.
Most people aren't looking at pickups relative to owning no vehicle at all. Which is to say they aren't spending a $25K premium for one. They're looking at the cost/utility benefit relative to other new vehicles with similar features. For example a large trunk SUV Vs. a Crew Cab-style pickup. The cost increase could be <$3K.

Cheap pickups definitely aren't a status simple. The pickup market ranges from $100K+ all the way down to $25K or less. Some are status symbols, some aren't, but the cheap ones definitely aren't.
Colonization efforts off Earth can't be gradual. There is a baseline infrastructure necessary for people to live. There are no readily available resources on Mars that exist like they do on Earth. There's no safe places for people on the planet.

Everything people need to survive needs to be brought from Earth. Every aspect of life on Mars needs to be bootstrapped from absolutely nothing. There's no working models for any of that on Earth. That means it all needs to be designed, built, tested, and iterated upon before a single person boards a SpaceX Starship.

Even with Elon Musk's billions that is a vast expense. Even if it was all built, it's billions spent to send people to Mars to simply not die in case a nuclear war wiped out Earth.

It's not pessimistic to point this out, it's realistic. Dreaming about colonizing Mars and hand waving away every practical consideration is just fruitless fantasizing. It's not a plan. It doesn't actually move towards a colony anywhere.

The opportunity cost is billions of dollars and a lot of engineering effort not spent on solutions to more immediate problems that might benefit more people.

Musk talking about colonizing Mars is 90% PR for SpaceX and 10% ego stroking. If SpaceX could build a Starship a week to send people to Mars it would be Musk's friends and billionaires and millionaires. I doubt there's more than a car load of people that work at SpaceX that would be able to afford a Mars ticket. I can't fawn breathlessly over a billionaire describing his fantasy of leaving all us poors to rot on a planet his fellow billionaires ruined.
