Author is creating a simulation of natural river meandering over time, and generating maps of that behavior in a style reminiscent of that used in a report by the US Army Corp of Engineers in 1944.
The whole fundamental concept of innovation is that there is no plan. If there's a clear path to get to where you want to go, then you don't need to innovate. Innovation is the act of exploring the unknown regions of the problem search space. No, there's no guarantee they picked an optimal strategy. If such a guarantee were possible, they wouldn't need to be trying and failing in the first place.

What there is clear evidence of, is you generally reach your goal faster if you're more risk tolerant. And that's very well understood by now. Various r&d folk from NASA have also said that they wish they could go harder and faster. But because they're micromanaged by congress, every failure is very expensive politically.

Depending on how big the infrastructure is and how long you want to migrate over... usually there's not enough resources to "redo all from scratch", millions of LoC are already in production, people who owned key services are no longer in the company, other priorities for business exists other than have what you have already working in k8s..
With ActivityPub, you can have news media and public agencies prove their own legitimacy through their own domain names.

Example, you'd expect an ActivityPub instance on "cnn.com" to represent the CNN corporation, and you'd also expect one that exists on "nj.gov" to represent the state of New Jersey. What would you propose instead? I don't know what HNS is.

Maybe not so much. Didn't this court gut important parts of the the Voting Rights Act?
The issue is that emergence is just some arbitrarily picked meaning of something observed from a certain "distance" or from a certain perspective. Emergence is not an intrinsic property of anything, it is just a (subjective) point of view.

It is just another way of saying that things look different from different "zoom levels", hence we assign different models and/or meanings to them at each different level. But that's just our very human perspective, it is not some pre-existing/universal truth of a system.
It's a widely accepted claim, just so you know.
The article says a webserver is involved; are there other dependencies that I need to deploy as well?
Easy: the perception of infinite overhead. The cloud itself (e.g. EC2) gives you capacity-on-demand, but the glue to make all the nodes work together is missing. And its a really hard problem, in general, because its distributed systems. K8s fills that demand, or seeks to. The alternative is to roll-your-own, which is possible but expensive, error-prone, and difficult to hire for. (My last company discovered this to their detriment after sinking a LOT of time into building out a really complex Salt+Vagrant+AWS solution, and then decided to migrate to k8s).
People used to do this as recently as the 1990s. They'd buy supplies like ice and generators, transport them to the disaster area (often clearing any debris in the road so they could get in, which helps everyone, including emergency vehicles), then sell them at market prices.

They were arrested for their efforts: https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2007/Mungergouging....

So now instead of letting incentives help them, people in disasters have to rely on charity and the state. (Both of which can do their job in addition to market incentives.) The end result tends to be more shortages rather than fewer.

Testing to destruction is needed now and then to:

1. test the model's ability to predict

2. look for lapses in construction technique and QA

In car racing, you'll never learn to be a fast driver unless you can drive right at the limit, and you'll never know where the limit is unless you exceed it now and then.
> I have to say, you are really good at calling people names when you don’t agree with their views. You’ve made a terrific straw man out of the poster above. Obviously, they were referring to reckless, unprotected sex with many, many partners. Yet you chose to interpret it as a single sex act.

You misread my comment. I'm well aware that the poster was referring to reckless, unprotected sex with many, many partners. What I'm yelling about is the assumption that all gay men do that, which was a statement they explicitly made. No reading into necessary.

> Yet you chose to interpret it as a single sex act

A strawman involves setting up an argument that wasn't made, and then knocking it down. Ironically, that's exactly what your statement does. I didn't interpret their statement as referring to a single sex act, I reminded them that HIV transmission is not only through rampant, unprotected sex.

> You’ve gone all through this thread calling people out for having views that are different than yours. Maybe try practicing the tolerance you preach?

I don't know if it's cliche to quote the paradox of tolerance yet, but I can't stand by while people make ugly comments about my community under the guise of rationality.
So comments actually work against it?
I started with Processing back in the 1.x days but I never made the transition to ‘professional’ tools. This really shows what an enormous difference there is between the two tools.
>Toilet paper started becoming available at stores again pretty much immediately after those sites started cracking down on this practice

It's premature to assume that the return of normal supply was due to crackdowns of reselling on online marketplaces. There were a bunch of other factors that changed in the same timeframe

* stores imposed per-customer limits

* prices went up (both in terms of absolute prices, and discounts disappearing)

* as hoarders stocked up, their demand also went down(if you just bought 18 month's supply, you'd be less inclined to buy more)

* people were being assured by the media that there won't be a TP shortage, which probably decreased the amount of panic buying
There's no need for the SJW act. Everything said in the previous comments was reported in the press of the day, and you can find stats on those topics.

I suppose one lesson from then was that telling people how to behave doesn't work, even if their life is at stake.

Having said that, the question is, "What can we learn from the AIDS epidemic to apply to corona today?"

Sure, Reagan was slow in tackling AIDS, but it turned out that developing drugs for AIDS was really hard, and I'd estimate it took a decade to get major progress.

So either we get lucky with corona, and it takes 18 months for an approved drug, or we don't find one. It's hard to make policy when you have 2 opposite answers like that.

Corona is an airborne disease, and AIDS wasn't. That's a big difference, and I suspect for the US, where corona testing and tracing is a failure, that herd immunity is the best we'll get for an airborne virus with 95-98% non-fatal results. People are reluctant to accept that though.

Speaking of behavior, California just made an edict today that everybody has to wear a mask outside home at all times.

AFAIK the US doesn't have enough supply of masks, so I guess we're all reusing them daily?

I've always given 2 weeks notice, never been offered severance pay, but on the other hand never been marched out immediately like some people. In one instance, I gave my resignation and then they said shortly afterwards how about we make it a week from now instead of the full two weeks (or something like that). They paid me according to how long I worked and no more.

And before Jim Crow we had the Black Codes.
In acute hypervitaminosis D, there can be organ calcification that has to be treated. These cases are rarely reported - one case occurred when the patient ingested crystalline vitamin D - dosing themselves in the range of 1-2 million IU D3 per day for weeks, and although there was not an extensive follow-up to determine the long-term effect on the patient, the acute calcification was reversed with treatment.

Vitamin D is involved with calcium in the body in many different ways, specifically I was talking about a measure of the absorption of calcium into the body from food as promoted by vitamin D.

Organ calcification is extremely serious and a very understandable reason why doctors have been hesitant to recommend higher doses of vitamin D, however most medical thinking about vitamin D until recently has focused on the prevention of Rickets, which requires only a small amount of constant supplementation (500 IU D3) to avoid serious effects. In context, 10,000 IU seems like an enormous dose. However if you look at the blood serum levels of people who receive consistent UV exposure, they have much higher levels than someone who is being supplemented with 500 IU D3 and no UV. So much of this debate is around trying to find out what the "optimal" vitamin D level is rather than what level is "sufficient" to prevent Rickets.
'Hackers burned my hand with computer virus'
What if instead they revamped their ancient microservices into modern monolithic applications?

I'm sorry, but I can't stand this kind of bullshit.
You cannot possibly take two random things, put 'modern' in front of one word and 'ancient' in front of another, to justify changing things.

The problem of Kubernetes is probably that people started drinking the microservices koolaid and now need complex solution to deploy their software that became more complex when they adopted a microservices architecture.

I'm all about that activity pub, my point is more that we should pass legislation to force social media companies to comply with the format, much like the US healthcare system and FIHR.

This would enable competition in interface, data custody and monetization strategy while allowing better interoperability. Should this be successful, I'd expect the news orgs to shatter much like social media had. The idea is that in an AP based decentralized system, competition around trust and truth could happen, as well as the greater echo chamber effect.

There's a lot more to say here, but we could start with an ActivityPub / FHIR like legislation against the social media system.
My thesis argued that we should not be testing supplementation levels, instead we should be testing the effects of maintaining people at various serum levels of vitamin D year-round.

> So, some of that stuborness in behaviour is something rampant in the gay community. They have for example, drug fueled parties and have continuous sex for days. The gay scene is doing itself a disservice by turning a blind eye on this and promoting hypersexuality at the expense of its health. I understand it’s found its freedom recently but they gotta get their shit together

That is the problem with your comment and the subject of all the replies. I don't think anyone here takes issue with you being upset that you stumbled onto an orgy, my friend.
Indeed. These are called repricers, for those curious.
Sorry, didn't realize email field was not visible. Updated profile.
I disagree with this take for the following reason:

It of course depends how you define "quality of life", but in many civilizations throughout history, if your priorities in life are material wealth and creature comforts, then the decadence part of the cycle was actually the very best time to be alive.

Until things ran their course and the barbarians burnt it all down.
Isaac Asimov was so embarrassed to have contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion that it wasn't mentioned 'til after his death.
I can only speak for past/present me.

Probably all three - travel, self study, read, etc. That's what I'd do. Then again, I'm thinking UK.

The lockdowns here aren't such that you literally can't go outside, and the minimum cost of living (due to our safety nets) really isn't that high for a youngster willing to live on beans.

Education is great. I'll be learning until my brain gives out on me.

But if you want to tell me that my first year of university just became sitting in front of a screen and I'll be paying for it - yeah, sod that, I'll take the tent and the backpack and see you all when people have regained sanity.

In the outside world (including University) people do things like obtaining life long friendships, meeting partners, generally just sniffing the flowers of life.

If I had the pressure of my course and I was stuck in a box I'd go mental before week 3. No comraderie, no friends, nothing, it's all pixels mate. лол.

Take a look at https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way.

That’d be a great first step if the purpose is to learn Kubernetes. If, however, you want to set up a cluster for real use then you will need much more than bare bones Kubernetes (something that solves networking, monitoring, logging, security, backups and more) so consider using a distribution or a managed cloud service instead.
This is an amazing piece of history.

> What about the rioting, looting, setting buildings on fire, etc. in Berkeley because some students opposed Ben Shapiro giving a talk? How did the police create that situation?

The New York Times States

> By the end of the night, the authorities said they had arrested nine people, some of them accused of carrying banned weapons. But no major violence was reported.

People remember the consequences of sitting idly by during the rise of fascism. The proper response to fascist light is anger. Almost all the people were able to do this without getting arrested let alone setting buildings on fire.

> How exactly are the police being "punished" by my store being looted by people who don't even know why the riot started in the first place, let alone give any damns about someone being murdered by one police officer.

When order breaks down people a minority take advantage. Everyone knows why the riot started in the first place. You are justly angry about bad behavior but how angry were you when black person after black person was murdered? If you don't want order breaking down punish all the guilty especially officers who murder the citizenry.
As a practical matter, this means that the employer made working there so harsh and intolerable for the employee that any reasonable person in a similar situation would have quit, too. This is known in the law as "constructive discharge," and if you can make your case to EDD (in California) that you were constructively discharged then you can qualify for unemployment benefits.

But if you simply quit your job because you got a better offer, that's a different story, and EDD will likely reject your subsequent application for unemployment benefits.
Ads on youtube seem to have recently gotten much more annoying, to the extent that the last few times I've tried to watch a 20-30 minute video I get sick of it inside of 5 minutes and quit.

Exactly. One of the biggest risk factors for COVID-19 is obesity. (See https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid... )

Is our government demanding that people whose lifetyle makes them obese or overweight pay for the cost of the coronavirus epidemic?

It may be helpful for you to consider the highest karma-earners on the site [1], and how they got there.

None of them got there by being the first to get breaking stories onto the site. They got there by regularly posting interesting comments and articles, consistently over several years.

Though if you look at their submission histories, plenty of what they've posted has received few/no upvotes. Some users will even post the same article every few months for a year or more, before it ever gets voted onto the front page.

Consistent contribution over the long term is what's key.

There are plenty of HN contributors who aren't well known at all for posting comments, but who have huge karma counts just for consistently posting interesting articles, and much of it is years-old, or about non-current topics like history, philosophy, literature, architecture etc.

Someone like that won't be bothered if other people sometimes get the karma for a story that they had submitted earlier. They will just keep posting several interesting articles every week or even every day, knowing that overall their contribution is valuable and that karma allocation will balance out fairly over the long term.

The stigma from the police was horrific. I attended many an ACT-UP protest in NYC in the 80s. And I was assaulted by people during peaceful protests while cops stood by and did nothing.
That word "far" shouldn't be used to describe what half the population supports.

If you bend the definition of "far" well past the breaking point, then these are all far-left positions: universal healthcare, voting by mail, DACA, assault rifle bans, handgun bans, legal abortion, trans recognition...

No matter who is president, "far" is not an appropriate word. The president won a popularity contest, and is thus inherently not "far".

If half the country is far-right, then the other half must be far-left (to stay calibrated on the center), and "far" has lost all meaning.

Here's the thing... it really doesn't take much to set off a tinder box. Tensions are high, people are anxious, and there is a lot of pent up unrest. We are definitely at a potential flash point.

So yea, I sort of agree, but I definitely also think the danger is higher than it seems.
A fundamental feature I look for in frameworks is an easily accessible "off-ramp". Is it possible to wean yourself away from the dependency? While many front-pages of frameworks tout how easy it is to adopt incrementally, my concern is about incrementally escaping. Not because I necessarily will, but because it is a good sign of underlying quality and it is always good to have the option.
You are being the docile person you speak of.
The US absolutely has no herd immunity.

Herd immunity kicks in at somewhere around 60-75% recovered, IIRC.

Unless the asymptomatic infection rate is at least an order of magnitude higher than anything remotely suggested, there's no possible way the US is approaching herd immunity. We're not even to 5% infected, let alone 50%.
150,000 people typically get diagnosed with cancer each month in the US. With hospitals shut that isn't happening.

I think the manifesto (https://github.com/frameworkless-movement/manifesto) would be vastly improved if it defined what a framework was.

It seems to distinguish between frameworks and dedicated libraries, so I think we can apply a react test here: Is react a framework?
