I'm with you. I patronize independent bookshops as often as I can. But where I live now there are no independent bookshops. Zero.

When I travel, I load up on books when I see booksellers. But in this case, I can't travel because of the aforementioned quarantine, so BN and Abe were all I could do.

I even tried contacting the last bookstore I shopped in, Tome on the Range in Las Vegas, New Mexico. I knew it would have the books because I saw the the last time I was there. But it doesn't have a web site, hasn't updated its Facebook page since 2017, and doesn't answer its phone. So it was back to the web.

"Internet of Things is devices communicating over the network. Your printer, your fridge...". So, like... the internet?

Jesting aside, I think these terms are added to differentiate from things occurring in other spaces or channels. Fraud exists, sure, but it is varied. Email fraud might share some patterns with mail fraud, but I suppose there are differences dictated by the vectors being different, even for cases like email/mail where one word signifies the other nowadays.
> What it does do is provide incentives for rational behavior.

Yes, and when/if enough actors do act irrationally, the efficient allocation of resources breaks down.

> A sanitizer hoard only has value if it can be sold to people who use it. The hoarder would also know that supply will increase, and he'll have to sell it fast in order to realize a profit.

Only if individuals are acting rationally. If I am panicking due to a pandemic that I believe hand sanitizer will protect me from, I will be willing to purchase a lot for personal consumption. If enough people do this, it prevents others who have need from getting their own hand sanitizer.

That is not "where they are needed the most". A middle class family who can afford to stay home does not need hand sanitizer more than a frontline worker or a hospital, in fact it's likely better for that family if the frontline worker gets the sanitizer instead. But acting in a panic, and acting irrationally, one can purchase enough hand sanitizer that the price rises enough to prevent those with greater need from accessing it.

> Furthermore, the higher prices encourage only the best use of the sanitizers are made

Except they don't, as we just demonstrated. Hospitals and frontline workers are rationally the best places for a limited supply of hand sanitizer. Increasing the prices does not result in those people getting the hand sanitizer, but instead it results in wealthy individuals getting it.

Hospitals don't have the funding to compete on price with panicked upper class people who believe that hand sanitizer will save their lives. Purchasing quotas are a much better solution, since there is value in as many people as possible having some hand sanitizer for personal use. And if you institute quotas, you don't need to increase price to limit demand, so the only reason to increase price would be to profiteer.
The easiest way around it is to keep ping-ing it every 5 mins from either from a third party (like pingdom, uptimerobot.com) or a cron function (https://cloud.google.com/scheduler/docs/creating).

But I would recommend using Cloud Run instead.
Airflow has major limitations that don't become obvious until you're already deep into it. I'd advise avoiding it myself.

It's only useful if you have workloads that are very strictly time-bounded (Every day, do X for all the data from yesterday). It's virtually impossible to manage an event-driven or for-each-file-do-Y style workflow with Airflow.
the biggest and most profitable criminals are not breaking into banks, stealing passwords, or stuff like that. they rather just abuse the features that already exist on sites, such as posting thousands of spam pill or porn links to Facebook or twitter using thousands of accounts or using paid shills on amazon,. very repetitious but it scales well and profitable and very hard to stop because it is not exploiting or hacking anything. You cannot really patch features in the same way you can patch bugs.
> Can't we have justice without violence?

Yes we can. In fact, this is the entire point of the police and criminal justice system - to reduce violence by providing a predictable and civil source of justice. Unfortunately yours has gone rogue, leading to the failed societal conditions you're experiencing.
I usually have about 50 open Chrome tabs (on my Core2Duo with 4GB RAM). Half of them YouTube (I mostly watch 360p though, I only switch to 1080p when I watch somebody coding). This could get slightly slow occasionally when I used a HDD, not even slightly slow now as I switched to an SSD. I usually have PyCharm open so I code at the same time while watching something. I only experience some minor slowness when I run a system (Manjaro) update in the background and when PyCharm re-indexes libraries after an update.

> One cannot claim that both A) masks are "not effective at stopping COVID" and B) "people in hospitals needed them more than the average citizen". It's a laughably obvious contradiction.

Of course you can, and it's not a contradiction. It's true for surgical masks, whose purpose is to prevent the wearer from spreading the infection around; you can apply social distancing in lieu of these masks, which is not possible for medical staff. It's also true for respirators, which require specialized training to be worn correctly, which is something the medical staff has, and regular citizens don't. And again, most people can use social distancing as a substitute.

The problem with masks was always that there just wasn't, and isn't, enough of them available to equip everyone. So governments had to prioritize, and healthcare workers need PPE more than most people not in healthcare. That doesn't justify downplaying the actual effectiveness; if it were up to me, I'd just say that yes, they're effective if properly used, and refocus the propaganda efforts on guilt-tripping society into donating all the hoarded PPEs to hospitals and clinics.
"literally everyone was silent"

This is such a cliche, and yet simultaneously someone in this thread is saying we don't have to worry about the current President becoming a dictator because of the zillion times previous Presidents were accused of wanting to seize power.

How do you think these contradictory cliches thrive alongside each other?
Spain approves guaranteed minimum income scheme for vulnerable families
What are Kubernetes' rough edges?
It is not just any union and any normal person. It is union for a government occupation which has protections for mistakes during duty. They have to be extra careful.

Let's just assume he was at some recent point trained to restrain in this manner and he can prove it. It is very unlikely he would be convicted since he was following his training and was unaware of the danger. If they were to try to convict him, I would imagine the union would be more than glad to back him up in a lawsuit which he would likely win.

Since he was charged, I'm assuming they've reviewed enough to be confident he was not acting within how he was trained.

What makes you think mosquitos are deliberately spreading malaria?
I used to have a bunch of bash scripts for bootstrapping my docker containers. At one point I even made init scripts, but that was never fully successful.

And then one day I decided to set up kubernetes as a learning experiment. There is definitely some learning curve about making sure I understood what deployment, or replicaset or service or pod or ingress was, and how to properly set them up for my environment. But now that I have that, adding a new app to my cluster, and making it accessible is super low effort. i have previous yaml files to base my new app's config on.

It feels like the only reason not to use it would be learning curve and initial setup... but after I overcame the curve, it's been a much better experience than trying to orchestrate containers by hand.

Perhaps this is all doable without kubernetes, and there is a learning curve, but it's far from the complicated nightmare beast everyone makes it out to be (from the user side, maybe from the implementation details side)

I'm going for less the egregiously banned crowd, more of the soft-banned crowd. So creators who are de ranked, shadow banned, or what not, but aren't removed completely from the platform. That isn't to say all content not on the platforms are too egregious for the market creatorbytes is going for, but there are cases where after abuse of YT's copyright strike system, the creators are off the platform for no fault of their own. Rather the abuse was from competing creators. Yet they're too small to make a fuss, and largely go unheard.

Typically I've seen this with conservative views. Though I understand I'll inherently be attracting more extreme ones as well.

Again I'd try not to foster discussion on the platform, but aggregate links to other platforms for their discussions to take place, hopefully removing the liability, at least partially.

Digital ocean has a managed kubernetes service that does not cost anything except the resources you use. The master node and management is free, you only pay the node pools and stuff like block storages (their version of EBS) or load balancers.
They operate at different layers. K8s sits on top of the infrastructure which terraform provisions. It's far more dynamic and operates at runtime, compared to terraform which you execute ad-hoc from an imperative tool (and so only makes sense for the low level things that don't change often).
This is the paper that first introduced the concept of the relational database.

You can read about the history of relational databases here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database#History

It took almost a decade for the first commercial relational database to appear: "In 1974, IBM began developing System R, a research project to develop a prototype RDBMS. However, the first commercially available RDBMS was Oracle, released in 1979 by Relational Software, now Oracle Corporation."
Using the KubernetesPodOperator for everything adds a huge amount of overhead. You still need Airflow worker nodes, but they're just babysitting the K8S pods doing the real work.

I know it's 2020 and memory is cheap or whatever, but Airflow is shockingly wasteful of system resources.
> So your goal is not to change your own behaviour, which by your own admission has been found annoying by others before, but to change people's perception of it.

Currently, yes. The problem that was brought up was that some people viewed this as a rant/criticism, so if I can make it not appear to be that (and thus no longer annoying) I feel like that would address the issue?

Why is it insane? Was there something about this company's stack that could have avoided Kubernetes in favor of something else?
You may have misread me. I'm not justfying their actions - I'm just saying it's not clear they were targeting solely the reporter. It's possible that the plan was to take everyone in custody, one-by-one. You have to start with someone and the reporter seems like the natural choice.

Something seems odd about this. Hypothetical Bezos buys everything if it’s at a high price but avoids buying everything if it’s a lower price? Why wouldn’t he just despatch hordes of people to buy up everything for cheap instead.

Also clearly the price controls did not solve the “who needs them the most” or no one would be complaining about “hoarding”.
I have used DO for managed Kubernetes since it was available and I am very happy with it.
In fact, I'd say that k8s is unusually heavily stepped in high-brow theories from both engineering and AI space. Just not necessarily ones that enjoy hype right now.

The storage of apiserver essentially works as distributed Blackboard in a "Blackboard System", with every controller being an agent in such a system. Meanwhile the agents themselves approach their tasks from control theory areas - oft used comparison is with PID controllers.

I'm a full time game dev and started a fairly large 3d project in Gotdot last September, I worked in it for about 2 months full time before moving to another project with another team.

The bugs that hindered my productivity were mostly "land mines" that I discovered along the way.

1. I thought having my scripts as internal scripts sounded good for a week until I realized there are all kinds of undocumented problems with storing your scripts that way. I had to refactor.

2. There is no selection outline around mesh in the editor window. Makes it impossible to build a 3D scene in Godot. My guess is that the developers expect you to build the scene in Blender then import it as one big FBX. (But that's not ideal for some things)

3. Then I hit the dangling reference bug and that was a heavy blow to my enthusiasm. The fact you can save a reference to an object in a variable, and that the engine can then change what object your variable is pointing to under the hood. It's such a fundamental bug it makes me wonder what other massive issues are there waiting for me to run into. My work around was to listen for signals for when object references were removed from the scene and manually clearing them, but its a real drag.

There were a few other things, but those ones stand out in my memory as examples of why I don't think I can work in it yet.

The reference bug won't be fixed until 4.0, so have another look at Godot then.

Update: Here are the bugs I logged.

Hmm really? My experience is that, with k8s I end up learning all the complexities of k8s in addition to AWS.

Besides, personally I find AWS console much easier to understand. I don't get why people hate it.
If growth is slow, how about spending more money on marketing? Hire a part-time online marketing specialist and give them money to spend on ads.
> The hoarder would also know that supply will increase

... eventually. A smart hoarder will just keep their hoard until extra manufacturing is about to start, and dump their hoard then. Because of that, the sanitizer is the least available precisely at the time it's needed the most.
I think this is a good answer. I'll add that as soon as you need to do something slightly more complex, without something like k8s you aren't going to be happy with your life. With k8s, it's almost a 1 liner. For example, adding a load balancer or a network volume or nginx or an SSL cert or auto scaling or...or...or...

All of this because Twitter (a private company) had the gall to tag a misleading statement and threat of violence on their own platform.

With multiple racially related killings of black Americans in so many weeks, it is ridiculous that conservative lawmakers are standing by doing this instead of creating policing reforms and leading from the top with respect to racism. President Trump's statement on the murder of George Floyd was:

"I feel very, very badly. That's a very, very bad thing that I saw. I saw it last night and I didn't like it... what I saw was not good. Very bad"
No problem. This stuff is all very nuanced and rapidly changing. It's hard not to make a mistake.
There are elements of our company that want to move to Kubernetes for no real reason other than it's Kubernetes. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they realise we'll have to employ someone full-time to manage our stack.

Jonathan Schwartz, last CEO of Sun Microsystems, in March 2006:

"Frankly, it’s been tough to convince the largest enterprises that a public grid represents an attractive future. Just as I’m sure George Westinghouse was confounded by the Chief Electricity Officers of the time that resisted buying power from a grid, rather than building their own internal utilities."

2.5 kg soft pine wood per hour ... average power output of 4.2 watts

That's 1.68wh/kg of wood.

Pine has a stored energy of about 15 million BTU/Cord (2380 lb)[1], or 4,396Kwh / 1080 kg, or 4000 wh/kg of wood. 0.04% efficiency.

That's terrible by the standards of 19th century steam engines, let alone anything newer. It might be a way to get enough power to charge a cell phone from a stove used for other purposes. But burning wood just to make electric power this way is going to need a lot of forest for very little energy.

Note that the article has drawings, but not pictures, of a vacuum and scooter being powered with a thermoelectric unit. They probably can't do that.

Thermoelectric systems are often used to power heating controls, where little power is required. Some bigger ones can power heating fans as a backup. The U.S. Army has a portable heater with a fan powered this way.

It's not about what Trump does. It's about what everyone else does. He's very good at getting attention with stunts that have no practical or legal effect. This includes signing executive orders, which sounds like doing something but it's not necessarily so.

So you need to look at scenarios where other people do stuff, and why it happens. Are there orders he can give and will people follow them? If not directly due to an order, how does it happen?
If that is your definition of "cloud" then most stuff running on AWS and other "cloud" providers isn't. I agree that Kubernetes and even containers aren't the end all. I think they are a stepping stone to true on demand where you have the abstraction of just sandboxed processes compiled to WASM or something run wherever.

But as of where we are now, it is a good abstraction to get there. It provides a lot of stuff like service discovery, auto-scaling and redundancy. Yes you do need to have instances to run K8s, but that is as of date the only abstraction that we have on all cloud providers, local virtualization, and bare metal. So yes it isn't true on demand "cloud" but in order to work like that you need to fit into your service provider's framework and accept limitations on container size, runtime, deal with warm up times occasionally.
It's a common fact that Godot's 3.x[0] renderer is lacking but if it can achieve these[1][2] then 4.0 will be a game changer

This one is easy, all neighbors of China have had multiple dangers of epidemics before.

This is just the first one that spread globally.
> One cannot claim that both A) masks are "not effective at stopping COVID" and B) "people in hospitals needed them more than the average citizen". It's a laughably obvious contradiction.

It's not a complete contradiction. Masks are required by hospitals for many reasons other than Covid. The initial logic was if everyone bought out masks there may not be a supply for even these other cases.

Though, I agree this was needed because of their failure to plan. If there was better planning the mask supply would be a lot better. I personally believe they held off on recommending the general public to wear masks because they knew they didn't have supply for medical staff.

Also, come on, don't taunt people to downvote you. That's really not productive. It's also against the HN guidelines.
