I wonder if the problem is a ripple effect. If you close schools, a lot of parents will have to stay out of work. This means more closings, and overworked remaining staff.
I don’t think global traffic will decrease after this. It will keep on increasing after this downturn. To suggest people won’t travel unnecessarily is absurd as saying people won’t go out to restaurants post-covid-19. But restaurants will definitely get rocked by this.

The question is how will supply chains change. Will Apple really stick all their eggs on China again or will they change strategies. It probably depends on how much it costs them, ie its easier to keep everything in China and pay downtime costs when a new virus hits. Luckily Tim Cook is an expert in supply chains so he is perfectly positioned for this. Other companies probably aren’t and a few will make the wrong decision.

You can't bootstrap a cell from DNA - you need a functioning cell to start with. There's a lot of semantic data that's embodied in the existing set of proteins and other functional elements, and I don't think it's clear that the DNA of any moderately complex organism actually expresses that state.

I find that a severe underestimate. Barring a miracle medical cure, given the death rates we've seen so far the number of deaths will be in the tens of millions.

> I expect society will shift to a new normal pretty fast. Some of these elements—e.g., much less business travel, much less handshaking, much more handwashing—I expect to just stick. Some others—e.g., people working from home all of the time—I expect to not stick.

Why would people working from home not stick? Of all the enumerated changes, this one seems like the most likely to stick. At least for any worker that has no direct contact with clients needed, going to an office seems to be not that useful and a waste. As a remote worker myself for more than 10 years, I don't really see his point here. Anyone?

The key technical reason is this one: "While multiple factors led to these accidents, both crashes shared a key contributing factor: a new software system called the
Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which Boeing developed to address
stability issues in certain flight conditions induced by the plane’s new, larger engines, and their
relative placement on the 737 MAX aircraft compared to the engines’ placement on the 737 NG."

Don't get me wrong, but this kind of point is something I've only ever seen on the internet, and typically from an American point of view. It makes the cops look like infallible overlords or, dare I say it, tyrants, and the criminal as someone completely undeserving of any understanding, benefit of the doubt, or compassion.

> resisting arrest and disobeying a police officer

Mercy me, how dare he. He definitely deserves the electric chair for that.

> probably several other charges (home invasion too?).

After being identified as a criminal because of the original shoplifting attempt, it's now okay to concoct a laundry list of potential new crimes just to make sure the cops can really throw the book at this degenerate. They're now entirely justified in ramming a military tank through a house while a hundred other cops watch the show.

I presume that an officer doing their job would have been able to let the shoplifter run off and, because they'd identified him and the stolen car, they could issue a warrant and pick him up later.

Containers are provided by host kernel cgroups and namespaces, therefore the kernel implements attach (exec) operation which is practically running a new proces (e.g. bash) in a cgroup (container).

Virtual Machines are provided by software or hardware emulation which run separate guest OS with own kernel. There is no standard way for a host to let you run any process and interact with its stdio inside guest OS because the host simply is not aware what you exactly run inside.

The solution is to have an agreed connectivity standard both on the guest and the host. The guest can provide SSH server, telnet server serial terminal, irc bot or some other kind of control capability. Then of course host needs a tooling too, e.g. SSH client.

I've learnt the lesson the hard way that owning your own domain and pointing MX records to an email provider whose service you pay for directly is the only sane approach.

That way, the service provider is obligated to provide you service, and if they ever pull any shenanigans, you just point your DNS somewhere better.
Both local police and the FBI rarely care about fraud or scams. Most local fraud seems to be caught by individuals hiring private investigators that are former law enforcement. And even then, the punishment to the con-artist is often 1-2 years.

It’s even worse if you use a credit card, get skimmed, have money stolen from you then your credit card company tries to deny your claim. No where in this situation are there police going to the ATM to view the video surveillance of who stole your money.

Most law enforcement seems to rely on identity fraudsters being high on drugs in cheap hotels and being caught with hardware / stolen cards etc etc.

Decades ago, a man had a large grand piano moved into his condo. It had to ride on top of the elevator. Recently, he moved out of that unit and found that the city building codes no longer allow this.

In Chicago, this was still done as recently as six years ago. When I moved into a tall residential building, my move had to be scheduled with an hour window in the middle so someone could move a piano up to a high floor. They wouldn't allow the piano to ride on top of the elevator and my stuff inside the elevator at the same time.

Not really. Suppose giant A undercuts startup B where A is making a temporary loss but B runs out of money trying to complete, only A remains in the market and A starts charging a premium since it doesn’t have completion.

This is bad for customers in the long term. Like how Amazon is slowly destroying brick and mortar stores, or having Amazon Basics at the front undercutting other sellers. Monopolies mean you don’t have an open fair market anymore.
In my experience it can take the "experts" on Wall St some time to realize that some obvious fact is true. E.g. the recent drops due to coronavirus happened two days after anyone reading HN knew that it was bound to happen.

The point I don't understand why EDC's have to be located in the turbines.

As far as I understand, Germany has good energy market. You can build datacenter where it is the most economic and buy the electricity from the supplier. The cost of locating data centers this ineffectively must make the network cost and maintenance very expensive.
They also have more reported deaths than other countries that aren’t China (233 so far). I don’t think the USA or other countries in Europe significantly underreport those.

It's kinda a strange thing in Canada.

The incumbent telecoms generally refuse to peer domestically with independent ISPs and smaller transit providers that cheaper DCs use.

One ISP reported that Bell would only connect to them in Equinix in Chicago, even though Equinix has a PoP in Toronto. https://www.peeringdb.com/net/1550

This means if you subscribe to internet with the local telephone monopoly (Bell) in Toronto, your traffic to toronto[1-8].voip.ms goes through NYC or Chicago. Have seen some routes that add Washington DC to the mix too. A 5km trip made into several thousand km.

The incumbents even don't peer much at our big IX: http://torix.ca (they buy ports, but don't peer freely).

In a lot of ways, because the independents will peer with everyone and love IXs, your traffic often stays a lot more local in Canada.
If “pruning is all you need” that does feel like a way of explaining how intelligence could come out of a mass of neurons such as our brain.

Your suggestion was "read a few papers". Not "this part of what you're saying is wrong, and why", not "look at this paper that makes X argument", not anything of that sort - just "only someone who doesn't understand anything could possibly think that, so I won't rebut anything".

Incidentally, I think the consensus among economists that price gouging laws are bad is pretty strong, so I'm not even sure what sources you're suggesting I read. Econlib [0] has a piece on this, particularly on a survey of economists done by the University of Chicago Booth School. I'd expect their opinions on banning resale to be similar.

I once attended a small lecture about an experiment where researchers trained elderly participants new skills; namely Spanish, painting, and using iPads.

It was a somewhat challenging course. It required a lot of work and a few dropped out because of it. But the participants that stayed developed their skills and after a few weeks, surprised themselves and much of their friends and family with their progress.

You can imagine how stunning it would be to know someone all your life and then at the ripe age of 82, watch them do something you've never seen before. Grandma went from not knowing about iPads to using them better than some 20 year olds. And Grandpa now draws and sketches figures like an artist. Who knew they had such potential?

The reaction of people who didn't know them was quite interesting too. "You have such talent" (as if what they had learned was something they were blessed with). The researchers made a point to emphasize how people would phrase their compliments; it was surprisingly common (as if they had been given God-given talents, instead of raw skill through focus and training).

And the participants were just as surprised about their growth. They didn't believe they could still learn something new (it wasn't a real possibility in their mind). Over the years, they had built an image of who they were, what they could and couldn't do, staying within the confines of their self-imposed limits, unconscious as they were.

Listening to those researchers left me with some reflections about my own life, the trajectory of it, the things I'd choose to become.

Part of me suspects there's some truth to wisdom and old age—the younger generation doesn't always step forward in the right direction. Cynicism of the youth is rightly justified. Choosing not to participate in the popular culture leaves some room for your own personal interests. What people call "weirdness".

So be it. True expression sometimes leads you down unfamiliar roads.

But some days, my pride and lack of knowledge feels like an excuse to stay inside hidden doors, lamenting about the change of the world, because I couldn't keep up with it.

I try not to become that person. I try not to cut off too many branches. I don't know where they'll lead, what I can become.

It would be a shame to grow old, to abandon all paths, because they seemed too distant.

> I got the impression that VMs needed an SSH server to be accessible. Is this correct and if so will it be possible to implement something similar to docker exec so that I won't need an SSH server on every VM?

If you want the capability to exec processes from the host into the VM, I think either Docker API or Kube API is the thing for that, as I understand it. If you could kernel exec processes directly into a VM, then it would not be isolated from the host, this seems almost tautological.

You can arrange for process execution another way than SSH, Docker, or Kube API but regardless of what shape it takes, it will still be an entry point in similar fashion to any of these, as the MicroVM or VM runs its own kernel on KVM and does not talk to the host in this way. Perhaps someone knows more about KVM and can clue me in further if there is more here than meets the eye and maybe what you said is possible.

If you don't need the isolation of a proper VM and were only looking for a roughly VM-shaped system that you CAN "kernel exec" or use nsenter to get processes into, you should look at Footloose[1].

I'm suggesting what you are looking for is actually a container that looks more like a VM or bare-metal machine from the perspective of inits and with the vantage point of the processes running inside.

By default, Footloose nodes are running SSH and SystemD, may appear to work similarly to Ignite VMs, but they are Docker containers that may or may not run privileged mode.

So, if it suits you, then you could start up Footloose "VMs" as I still call them, strip SSH from them, then nsenter or Docker exec into them as you desire, or run Kubernetes on them and use the Kube API including exec.

That is actually a lead in to the next project, known as Firekube[2], kind of a mashup of all these technologies plus one more (wksctl[3]). Firekube integrates both Ignite and Firecracker as well, so you can use it similarly on Linux, (where KVM support is available for Ignite), or MacOS, where Footloose runs container-VMs instead, both behave alike; this suite of projects all put together is a very slick and well integrated package IMHO. It is probably comparable in functionality to Minikube, but with GitOps baked right in.

ended with a cliffhanger! OP eloquently picked apart the predominant system without a clear alternative :)

mostly agree with the premise though, and I'll add that "sprint" is insane nomenclature for something that you do continuously week-in and week out.

my question for the author (and ya'll) is how to reconcile the time-waste of estimating with the fact that you do indeed need some estimate of how long something is going to take in order to decide whether you should prioritize doing it (we like RICE [0]). as the designer on a startup team, i'm not going to push for designing / building some crazy VR UI no matter how much we hear a customer asking for it, but i'll definitely design some 3d button transform hover states or other small finesse if the front-end eng says it's easy to implement. i'm sure i can think of a less extreme example, but not today.
