I like that it treats the infrastructure the way Kubernetes treats volumes. Claim/Class/Resource model works well for infrastructure self-service and allows fine-grained RBAC for infra resources.

However, except database resources, most of the CRDs seem to be in v1alpha stage. I'd play with it and see how it unfolds but probably not depend on v1alpha resources in production.
I didn't make the claim it didn't. I was just reacting to that particular rhetorical question.

On this subject, though, there is more at play than just advertising. First is availability; smaller stores won't have a private label option available at all, so some chink of the market is not open to them.

Second is quality; this is not as much an issue with OTC pharmaceuticals since it's all about the active ingredient, but for products where more than just the active ingredient matters (like flavor or consistency) there is sometimes a quality difference. There definitely is with food.

That said, I frequently buy store brands over name brands. I also buy some "name brands" that I have never seen an advertisement for.
To clarify, "here" is Ireland, not the US. The comments indicate in the US, USPS has a much greater share of spam delivery. (too late to edit the original post)
> No one else does what the USPS does

They certainly could if it weren't for laws preventing them from delivering to people's mailboxes.
An uninhibited free market would absolutely produce a price for that service. If no mail is sent, it's because the market is inhibited or both of the parties (government and families) are unwilling to pay the price.

>It sounds like socioeconomic status is correlated with race in America

At what point does personal responsibility factor in to the outcome of communities? These people have had access to Internet now for a decade - even in the worst urban hoods in, say, NYC there is cheap transportation to public libraries - nothing has changed.

Racism and poverty are perhaps partly to blame but a group of people needs to make investment of time and effort into itself, individually and collectively, for outcomes to improve. For some reason the problems plaguing the black community are unique among poor communities of all ethnicities and origins.

And now these same behaviors are having direct, real consequences not just for these communities but for the nation at large.

Yes, people belonging to other socioeconomic groups also are violating stay at home orders - but not in the same proportions, as evidenced by the disproportionate death rate from COVID19.

Instead we have multiple news outlets asking why are communities of color being disproportionately affected? And simultaneously

1. Insinuating that all minorities are being ravaged to the degree that African Americans are

2. Implying that the only possible explanations are external to the people being effected.

People are dying because of this rhetoric.

It's weird to me to hear comments like this. To me the postal service just seems like a slow email service with no spam filtering. (Sure they can delivery packages, but they're not unique in that regard).

I get the utility of certified mail and associated services, but I don't really understand why we need first-class/marketing mail service in the 21st century.

I agree it was important infrastructure 250 years ago.

Ask HN: How to verify a Chase PPP secure message/email?
So I got an email from Chase with an attached html file which loads a "secure message". The tech seems to be supplied by Voltage which seems legit but it uses the domain jpmchase.com or more specifically https://securemail.jpmchase.com/ A few issues

1- I had to make a new password and confirm my email to then open the secure message - if its from chase why do I need to make a new password? How do I know its them if they don't take my existing password? All of the trust challenge is on my side which I get but it seems like they would assert something for me to know I can trust them/it?
2- The email footer copyright is 2002-2017, it seems odd that its 3 years out of date?
3- The 2 people on this secure message both have chase emails but one is chase.com and the other is jpmchase.com I tried to google both of them and found that the main guy is on linkedin but cant find a contact number or something to really associate him with Chase as a company other than it being on his resume but I don't think those are validated?
4- After logging in to the secure message I notice that its footer is also out of date

I then tried to call my local Chase to verify the email, the people, or the legitimacy of the transaction. The branch automated service hung up on me after a few minutes (Austin branch). I then went back to google and found that the guy mentioned above is in Ohio at JP Morgan Chase so I called that number, it's disconnected from the google result.

You might be wondering why I would even remotely think this is legit? The application ID in the email happens to match the ID I got when I submitted my actual application. So that being somewhat random (I think) is the only way to really think this is not 100% spam/scam.

So, How should someone with tech chops go about validation anything like this? How do we expect a non-technical person might go about it as well?

any thought appreciated.
It's definitely important for Doritos. Walk into a convenience store and you'll see a bazillion brands of chips, most of which are healthier or tastier than Doritos. Yet time and time again people go for the old faithful brands. You stop doing brand advertising, that dries up.
Let's consider the risk of cancer from radiation as a function of the radiation dose. This is some function, call it f. If I am receiving a dose r, and then get an additional does dr, then the additional risk is f(r+dr)-f(r). Or, this is f'(r)dr, where f' is the slope of f at r.

This is simple calculus. For LNT, f(r) is assumed to be a linear function of r, so the slope is the same everywhere. In this case, we don't need to know the actual dose someone gets, just the increment; an increment of dr in the dose causes the same risk of cancer. This allows the risk to a population to just be computed from the total population incremental dose.

But if f is NOT linear, the slope will be higher in some places than LNT would imply (this again is a simple theorem from calculus). For example, suppose f'(r) is higher at very low dose, but less than LNT above some threshold dose level (that is, the curve us concave downward). In this case, the risk of cancer from some extra dose dr will be higher down in that low dose area.

Is this plausible? I don't think it's ruled out. Radiation apologists would have us believe in radiation hormesis, in which radiation induces repair mechanisms. Under that hypothesis, the slope of the curve below a threshold at which this induction occurs could be steeper than LNT would imply.
What? USPS is the single largest parcel carrier in the US (dwarfing UPS and FedEx by package volume). That ain't even including the numerous packages that UPS and FedEx delegate to USPS for last-mile delivery (via SurePost and SmartPost, respectively). Hell, a lot of rural communities are entirely dependent on USPS for parcel delivery because they're outside of the service areas of other carriers.

I don't know where this notion of "USPS only delivers letters and magazines" comes from, but it's patently and demonstrably false.

Originally I submitted it as "Coronavirus deaths of Wikipedia notable" people but changed it to Wikidata because it uses a different notability hurdle. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability

There is also a list that only contains people with a page present on english Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_coronavi...

I haven't submitted that list because a) I felt the Wikidata list was more extensive and thus hopefully more updated (actually it's created automatically) and b) Wikidata had pictures.

Of course some people will become notable becautse of their death. I was mainly interested in the question as I read about Conway and wondered how many people like him with tremendous achievements have already died of Corona or will die.

Also, studying biographies gives a different view than only studying the numbers.

> Laws that bar any other shipping service from delivering mail and packages directly to residential and business mailboxes. Shapiro estimates that this gives the Post Office a $14 billion annual boost, more than three times what the Postal Regulatory Commission estimates it to be.

> Tax breaks. The Post Office is exempt from state and local property and real estate taxes, along with other burdens like tolls, vehicle registration fees, and parking tickets. These exemptions save the USPS $2.18 billion per year.

> Cheap borrowing. [...] It currently borrows the legal limit of $15.2 billion at a rate of 1.2%. Without this access, it would be paying somewhere between $415 million and $490 million per year more in interest.

> Finally, Shapiro points out that the USPS pays its workers salaries and benefits far above the rates paid to similar workers in the private sector.

I believe you may wish to re-read your own link. What he said is correct. What you stated is patently incorrect.

The above quote is from your own article and states that is a 3rd party estimation and not-at-all a tax donation that the American populace pays for, which is what you also stated.

First rule of real estate: location location location.

Although for that to make sense, each building should be tokenized with an auction-backed tradable token so people could speculate on real estate how they see fit (should it still be called real estate?)

At the same token, we probably should rethink the USPS from first principles.

We want delivery to every address, but certainly there is a problem when ~50% of what's being delivered is junk mail[1]

>Keep spending tens of billions on it each year in perpetuity while it delivers packages for Amazon for next to nothing?

According to the Post Office they aren't delivering packages for next to nothing. They are delivering them for competitive rates and if they increased them they would lose business, revenue, and profit.

Now this could be temporarily different due to COVID-19, but if that's the case then emergency funding would be appropriate.
I'll point out that the Redux team (first Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark, now myself and Tim Dorr) never tried to market Redux as something you _must_ use, and in fact have had to actively spend lots of time telling people to _not_ use it all the time. (Probably one of the only tools in existence where the maintainers have spent more time _discouraging_ its use than _encouraging it, which is a state of affairs that frustrates me to no end.) We've continually tried to provide guidance in the docs as to when it _does_ make sense to use it.

But, as I noted just above this comment: we don't control the rest of the developer ecosystem. All we control is the official docs, and our own blogs and social media comments.

I also want to emphasize that we _haven't_ dismissed people's feedback as "you don't know what you're doing", and in fact have tried to take that feedback into account with our docs and the creation of Redux Toolkit, to guide people in the right direction as they use Redux.
That's actually a fairly encouraging failure mode, given that it means there's nothing inherently wrong with the approach, just that particular implementation.
first time hacking on Mac OS Carbon. I had to port my open source project (which ran on linux and Win32), to Mac (circa 2008?). I'd never built a thing on a mac before.. at that point, Mac dev wasn't as big as it is now (and then it was C++).. so Googling no help at all.. compiler errors, linker errors.. 6 months of 15 hour days.. completely lost most of the time.
If we get rid of the post office for last-mile delivery of anything to anywhere, we can be virtually assured of having to bail out the major package delivery services every few years.

I don't think it's really about pontificating about why, just why, other people who aren't me are stupid, it's about identifying patterns and maybe coming up with a way (like you are talking about) to combat (possibly involving teaching) these things. Without putting it into words you just see the pedantic correction fucking up your conversation and don't really have words or a coherent understanding in the moment to get why it was a useless thing to say. Now with this article some people will know to identify those situations to correct them, and some people will identify the behavior in themselves. That's all good, and isn't "ugh dumb people exist"

This is awesome. Shouldn't this be every engineer's dream? Why do someone else's bidding in a boring corporate megastructure, or in a startup bullied by sharky venture capitalists into making a compromised product, and making less money while at it? I hope in the future we see an explosion of VC-less bootstrapped tech companies and microSaaS. The desire is there, for sure, but the courage is lacking. More examples like this will inspire courage. Thanks!

It's a specific long-term strategy called "Starving the beast", implemented by the conservative wing of the republican party. Control of the US Senate makes it easy to persist policies for a long time. It's a somewhat unusual philosophy where you collect less revenue and borrow to cover the difference to encourage fiscal prudence.

The USPS is a target for a variety of reasons. Think of it as a leveraged buyout target... they have a ton of assets, from information assets to real estate. Carving up the real estate alone would make for a ton of patronage. There are also some extreme positions (which have prominence these days in some circles) that the post office and civil service is a manifestation of big, Federal government exerting too much influence over local affairs.

It's harder to afford stable housing with a stable mailing address than it is to afford internet access.

And those without internet access can go to public libraries or even get free public wifi in many cities. Even some homeless shelters provide wifi now, which is much easier for them than providing mail service. Technically, I think those without a permanent address can register to still receive mail at a post office, but that seems more difficult to manage and more limiting than finding internet access.
> What's the one thing you would not compromise on as you write code?

Code that works.

I'll take a gordian knot that works over an over-engineered system that fails or never ships. Some of the worst code I've seen comes from engineers who focus on "unit tests, documentation, and refactoring code." Those are all good things, but they aren't #1.

The "done" question is a very good one.
Well, I think this is one of the "gatchas" in an idea like this. The malleable system you're talking about is only "a bit malleable", you can take it's elements and add a bit more.
This is something like a "producer-consumer" model. To build a small or a medium-sized system from such standard elements is now reasonably simple - the original component set seems malleable. But once you've built your medium-sized system, changing it actually becomes hard, the resulting product is no longer malleable.
Modularity by purchase. Information hiding by ownership. Interfaces by corporation.
