Re: 7, if you use a separate discovery like zookeeper, then it will have its own idea of which jobs are alive and ready, and k8s will have its own idea of the same thing - they may not necessarily agree with each other. They don't even know the existence of each other. Maybe it would work, but it seems like more hassle than rewriting the offending part.

From what I've seen, Kubernetes is a quintessential Google product - it has a very particular idea of how jobs should be run, and the farther you stray away from it, the more it will cost your sanity. If that curtails the benefits of k8s for you, then yes, I think you should revisit whether you really need k8s, based on that limitation.

Just my two cents.

But tech companies circumvent laws, uber is not a taxy company, people driving them are not employees, Youtube is not a media company, etc. Every time this happens, voting becomes more and more meaningless.
Yeah, requiring years of training to write anything is nonsense. Everybody should learn to write code, and there's tons of interesting stuff you can do without knowing software engineering best-practices. Not every scientific model has to scale to industrial scale or be maintainable by many people over many years.

My problem is entirely with the article that blames the tool they chose and the software engineering community that didn't put big warning stickers on that tool.

This is a problem with monopolies, not censorship. When private companies are forced to publish content, you have fundamentally lost the notion of a free press.
I have seen European cities, but only Copenhagen as an adult, and that was in 1993. One of the obvious falsehoods in the original article is illustrated by Copenhagen. The article had some line about throughout history, people lived in neatly organized towns with periodic open squares. I don't think Copenhagen fits that model at all - the streets appear disorganized to my eye, with little orientation or regularity. Open squares appeared only haphazardly, and there didn't appear to be enough to satisfy demand. I will grant you that Copenhagen in 1993 would be far easier to live in without a car than Denver in 2020. But it wasn't the aesthetic dream that the article proposed, it was more "biological" and pieced together than architectural and designed, and even in 1993, Copenhagen had a mix of ages and styles.

If we're to successfully drive wage equality, we can't make mistakes like allowing employers to use maternity leave as an excuse to depress wages by gender. The only two ways to fix this are to eliminate (this option is untenable) parental leave or to make maternity leave apply to everybody.

Besides, give both parents the ability to support a family during those formative months and the next generation will be healthier for it.
A quick intuition for this is: d/dx(e^(iwx)) = iw*e^(iwx)... that is, differentiation amplifies higher frequencies more than lower ones.
I also think that "real transparency" is something one can approach. Just because complete transparency is nigh impossible doesn't mean the steps towards it is worthless. And there is always a lower layer one can point at that is opaque... right down to the silicon.
I'm tired of people pretending they're only "asking questions" when they're pushing for a full reopen. Acting like you're surprised there are unreasonable people saying things and using that to cast anyone who is more cautious as the same is dishonest and cowardly.

If someone actually has questions, they should ask them. Otherwise if they don't have the courage to own their political position, I don't consider them part of the conversation.

1) There's an argument that deleting the comment disallows the expression in the first place.

For those who might not be familiar, graph subsampling is a method of extracting smaller graphs from a large graph while preserving some notion of overall structure. The subsampling can be focused on finding representative nodes, edges or combinations of those (as well as optimizing for some other local or global properties).

It has applications wherever large graphs are encountered - social networks, biological processes etc. An example application of the library could be as follows - you have a very large graph and you want to do spectral clustering. Throwing spectral clustering directly at such large graphs might not be feasible, so one can first perform a node based subsampling and then apply spectral clustering on the smaller graph on the representative nodes found by the subsampling.
Very interesting. I wonder what would happen if you put in some special noise from adversarial AI methods today. Would be a real arms race of detection vs evasion.
I think it's true of many experts, that they see their own area of expertise as the most important one, and the others as relatively minor.

You seem to know better than the experts.. not sure what qualifies you to believe that.
I'm saying that what you posted was completely off topic, you shouldn't have posted it, and you should have emailed us instead (as indeed other users did). It's not that your comment was so bad in itself; it's the upvotes and replies that it attracted. They turned it into the worst subthread I've seen at the top of a high-ranked HN story in a long time.

If you think a subthread about "inconsistent and arbitrary enforcement of HN guidelines", or rather people's feverish imaginations about that, doesn't qualify for being downweighted as off-topic, I'm not sure what to add. A subthread like that sitting at #1 on the #1 story of HN is a three-alarm fire from a moderation point of view. Smart readers don't come to HN to read that.

We routinely downweight this sort of thing because if we didn't, most threads would consist of nothing but. Do you think that HN discussions stay on topic (to the extent they do) by themselves? That would be a self-driving-cars-level achievement.

HN users will happily comment all day about HN, moderation, and their imaginings about these things. There's no stronger force on the site, but unfortunately it's an addictive process that burns all the oxygen from actual discussion and ends up asphyxiating it. A forum becoming self-referential like that is the road to death. If a smart new user showed up here, wanting to read about interesting topics, and ran into endless reams of insider bickering, they'd close the tab and never come back.
Tablet companies really need to realize that a decent tablet with a decent dev experience is going to lead to an explosion of developers on their platform and result directly in way higher quality apps and therefore way better sales and brand.

Imagine if websites couldn’t be developed on normal desktop computers and you had to run an extremely inefficient emulator every time you wanted to make a small notification.
His track record on things like self driving is not even close to accurate. But that's to be expected, manufacturing is more engineering and self driving is more research. Engineering is easier to estimate (note, still not easy!)
They do in fact control Android. The open headset alliance means Android is open source in name only. Only tinkerers/hackers use ASOP derivatives by itself (or some foreign manufactures that cannot to offer Google Play services .. or Amazon Fire makers).

They dominate the software ecosystem. Although it's not difficult to load 3rd party applications, it's certainly not common. Their removal of the Podcast Addicts app is a great example. Also you cannot interface with things like Android Auto without getting Google's golden approval (so no Android Auto for F-Drop apps)

I did a full post on all the gripes I had with Android a few years back, and I think they all still apply: https://battlepenguin.com/tech/android-fragmentation/

>Your link omits context. A couple of comments up is this:

You're still dodging the question, and your reasoning is "I've stuck my head in the sand and I'm going to pretend nobody is using my site for things I disagree with"?

I'll ask it again and maybe you won't dodge it this time: You just admitted that you do not conduct audits on private projects. Without a doubt, someone is now or will be in the future using your site to build software that you disagree with. Knowing this, how do you justify still hosting your site instead of shutting it down?

I mean they are knowingly reselling something for less than it costs them, without ever touching the product, and they have no agreement at all with the restaurant owner that could stipulate "hey when you sell the pizza it has to meet these criteria". They specifically avoided letting the restaurant owner know that they were being sold through DoorDash, which is sketchy and definitely would lose DoorDash some sympathy about being "defrauded".

I just can't see fraud here, only a giant company that is built on losing money intentionally creating a system that loses money with zero guardrails. Then people just... used that system exactly as it was.

Of the first 12 posts, one is the FBI, one is questionable (using proxies to circumvent rate limits, anti-scraping tech, etc), and the other 10 seem anywhere from boring to laudable.

Most tech jobs do not require you to make broad ethical compromises to work there.
This would be a good time for the US (and other countries) Small Business Administration to play a far more nurturing role in order to help restart and start new businesses.
Many VC investment strategies are designed to destroy existing business and create network effects monopolies that only benefit a few people.

This thread reminded me that Carmack has been a free software advocate in the past, and my citation is, quite amusingly, that book:

> It was February 8, 1998, and Carmack was about to put his brain to the test: counting cards in blackjack. This had become something of a new fascination of his. “Having a reasonable grounding in statistics and probability and no belief in luck, fate, karma, or god(s), the only casino game that interests me is blackjack,” he wrote in a .plan file. “Playing blackjack properly is a test of personal discipline. It takes a small amount of skill to know the right plays and count the cards, but the hard part is making yourself consistantly [sic] behave like a robot, rather than succumbing to your ‘gut instincts.’ ” To refine his skills before the trip, Carmack applied his usual learning approach: consuming a few books on the subject and composing a computer program, in this case one that simulated the statistics of blackjack dealt cards.

> His research proved successful, netting him twenty thousand dollars, which he donated to the Free Software Foundation, an organization of like-minded believers in the Hacker Ethic.

For what its worth, even the customer is getting annoyed. I've had multiple cases where a a driver stole my food or mixed up orders. Sure, the company will fix it and refund you, but you're hungry now.

There's something I've been thinking about lately and its the fact that I learned about the Black feelings of the Hasidic (Jewish) community moving to Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood of Jersey City only after the mass shooting that occurred their earlier this year. I saw a news report from the neighborhood and a resident mentioned how they have seen a big shift in their neighborhood and longtime residents were getting harassed to sell their homes for the incoming Hasidic residents as they were looking to leave Brooklyn for cheaper real estate.

I bring this up in relation to free speech because it seems to me like there was no outlet for the residents to speak up on what was happening. It looks like there was a chilling effect and some discussions may just not have been had. I think its important to provide that forum to air grievances so that a chilling effect does not occur and people feel like they are a frog slowly being boiled alive.

I don't think Democracy is the model for all nations today, but I do think that as countries develop and have a certain educated populace that they will trend in that direction. Its better to be enfranchised, then completely trust the decisions made on your behalf elected by a group of technocrats but it requires a populace voting in good faith and of a certain education attainment overall.

We must keep an open dialog and forum for people to speak freely. I like to think of confronting prejudice as a first responder running towards danger. I don't cower from having those conversations, I'd much prefer to deconstruct them. I have to say though that the internet makes that hard since it is easy to find echo chambers.

I really want to see communities like r/politics on Reddit better try to foster rich, insightful discourse because I really don't see it that way now and if someone feels differently, I would love to hear from you.

I personally think Reddit should create a new "Featured Comments" feature like they have in comments on NYT and appoint mods of different biases to choose Featured Comments on highly upvoted content. In the US House of Representatives they give members of the house equal time to address the floor and should we try to virtually recreate that type of forum as well?

Am I missing something?

I think the leading hypothesis is that nicotine may have a protective effect against COVID-19, which is strong enough to more than counteract the negative influence of the lung damage caused by smoking.

(This would explain why former smokers are worse off, since they have residual lung damage but no protective nicotine.)

Of course this is all quite hypothetical, and may turn out to be wrong, but I gather it’s biochemically plausible.

The suggestion that google search is comparable to water and electricity is absurd IMO. Google search is not needed to survive. There are also alternatives to google. Nothing about google's popularity precludes someone from using bing.com instead.
>>>Was it really bad for US until China started working on 5G and trying to become independent in semiconductor sector?

Yes, it's bad because "naval strategy is build strategy", and all of that industrial activity and technical know-how exported to China has facilitated the buildup of a massive, modern, increasingly-blue-water Navy and supporting Air Force that is postured specifically to challenge the US. The US Navy's global presence and open sealane patrolling is key to enforcement of the Petrodollar system, and therefore one of the lynchpins of American economic hegemony. Eventually China will challenge the US, and the US will either back down or lose. Either way, expect the global order to change, the Petrodollar to go away, and the US economy to collapse....and we'll have basically spent 30+ years making down-payments on our own destruction.

At least that's the theory.
>If anyone, be a male or a female has no mean of having a family due to poor financial planning, it is not my problem to solve.

Something being a social construct means that when we group people by the trait, the boundaries we use are socially defined. That does not make the underlying trait mutable.
I've seen a few cases where people have committed suicide after suffering online hate, and to be honest, I don't think that this hate made a radical difference – rather, it was something that triggered an individual who already was in a very dark place.

Sacrificing free speech for their sake of like doing a nation-wide ban on peanuts to help people with allergies: it will prevent quit a lot of accidental deaths, too. Except that peanuts are not essential for a functioning democracy.
> You are right, but talking about whether to use k8s or not would make the article 2-3x longer. It is a totally different topic.

Sorry—my comment was written poorly. I think the article is good as is and agree k8s or not is a different topic. My comment intended to be a reminder for all of us reading it that we should ask more questions before choosing a technology.

Valuations are not zero sum. On a cash flow basis, I think that’s pretty simple: consumers via subsidies. But on the mark to market side, if I invest $10 at $100 valuation and the company lists on a stock exchange where investors only value the company at $50, I’ve lost $5 and nobody has gained anything.
