> The U.S. did not have a monolithic response. Many states never shut down, and never experienced overrun hospitals.

You act as if the pandemic is over; the places that never shutdown or had light restrictions largely were hit later and, though they are behind, also haven't flattened the curve (and, many of the places that reopened early and rapidly, rather than gradually, are also seeing rebounds already.) They may not have yet seen overwhelmed hospitals, but a number of places in both of those groups that didn't before are nearing that point now.
Yeah in the same sense of how we all democratically opted in to mass surveillance or encryption breaking. Let's be honest the people who are at the receiving end of this technology haven't been democratically decided anything in a long time. What this actually is, is what Sheldon Wolin called inverted totalitarianism and when it comes to these police measures that's not even an exaggeration.

Just as a random question, how many people do you think know that these guys (https://longreads.com/2019/06/21/nothing-kept-me-up-at-night...) are flying above American cities
This is really close to what a default blog site would look like using Svelte: same load times and essentially identical date/title blog post format is almost what you get out of the box, with Svelte and Sapper, the router.

Anyway, if this is something you like, that's one way to get it on your own domain name, without compromising on 'bloat' or load times.
Is it an issue of editors or of language? The amount of errors that incorrect whitespace characters cause in whitespace sensitive languages could attributed to editors obfuscating what's written to file.

I think the pragmatic solution is an opinionated linter that can be broken.

I agree. It is impressive how much it can orchestrate. It is also very useless in the real cloud because developers there are dealing with higher-level abstractions to solve problems for the business.

The most simplistic task - execute some code in response to even in a bucket - makes kubernetes with all its sophisticated convergence capabilities completely useless. And even if somebody figures this out and puts the opensource project on github to do this on kubernetes - it just going to break at slightest load.

Not to mention all the work to run kubernetes at any acceptable level of security, or keep the cost down, do all patching, scaling, logging, upgrades... Oh, the configuration management itself for kubernetes? Ah sorry, I forgot, there are 17 great open-source projects exists :)
It’s is wildly racist that this comment, and many other comments on here, are far more focused on the rioters than the murder that occurred on a sidewalk in broad daylight.
So you haven't heard of them commingling inventory? There is no way to stop counterfeiting with that so no, they aren't trying at all.
There seems to be a slightly schizophrenic relationship between the public and the government. The rather vocal wings of political discourse understand that half the time government will be controlled by people they really don't like. However the practical resistance to giving said people access to and control over major aspects of people's lives seems to be rather weak.

Well great, now you're calling him stupid for not predicting that people will come and literally torch his business to the ground even though he has no enemies, and hasn't even had a chance to open.

> I live here, you don’t. I have to deal with the aftermath, you don’t.

But have you had your home or business arsoned by these pricks? You've been lucky. I doubt your tune would be the same if not.

> I bet you’ve never seen adversity in your life, otherwise you’d have sympathy for the people that are rioting because they might be the next one laying face down dead under a cops boot.

When these rioters have killed more innocent people in a handful of days than the police department does a year; guess you'll find a way to justify that. Two can play at the "here's my insinuation about your character" game. I have empathy for them, but there is nothing that would cause me to victimize a random community out of pure opportunism like these rioters. There could be a purely racist attack against my family, and I would not think for a second to torch a random business that just happened to be in the same city as the perpetrator.

Before all of this, there is a distinction between people who are protesting, and people who are just looting and arsoning random businesses because the chaos invites it. I'm not going to sit here insinuating that these are the same groups of people.

Hardly anyone is for the murder of George Floyd, but basically everyone is for the basic functioning of society, and at some point one will take precedence over the other.

If I’m reading that correctly, it’s a completely misleading assertion by @WhiteHouse. It appears as though this is in response to the quote of the original that was also reported. Given that the quote is adding a comment on to the original text, their ruling makes sense to me.

That said, it looks like they’ve hidden it as well now. So maybe they see it as an attempt to circumvent the TOS and are treating it the same way.
Looks like this only renders correctly in chrome.
Not to mention the unsubscribe doesn’t make it clear if it’s removing from this list only or it’s indicating to the upstream server the email address forbids contact. I would presume the former, but I would strongly prefer to be able to choose at unsubscribe time, or failing that assume I forbid contact.
Every person I know who wants to use k8s has never had to maintain it.

"Developers love it!" Yeah, I'd love someone to drive my car for me, too. Doesn't mean it's a great idea to use technology so complex you have to hire a driver (really several drivers) to use it.

If you already have 3 people working for you that (for example) understand etcd's protocols or how to troubleshoot ingress issues or how to prevent (and later fix) crash loops, maybe they can volunteer to babysit your cluster for you, do all the custom integration into the custom APIs, keep it secure, etc. But eventually they may get tired of it and you'll have to hire SMEs.

If you're self-hosting a "small" k8s cluster and didn't budget at least $500k for it, you're making a mistake. There are far simpler solutions to just running a microservice that don't require lots of training and constant maintenance.

Complexity isn't always bad, but unnecessary complexity always is.

There is a good reason, its just buried in complex crypto math and I won't be the one to explain it for you.
If you are still using RSA, you should have upgraded to 4096 bit RSA by now. If not, you should be regenerating and changing your keys and not using one 5 or 10 year old 2048-bit RSA key because "2048 should be enough for anyone" and not thinking "I reused this key all over the place and im lazy and i'm sentimental and don't like change". People's key practices are just as bad as their password practices.
His personal blog post was not meant to be a comprehensive lesson. But you can do what you want.

If this is the first time you're hearing about RSA starting to be phased out, and the new Ed25519, look into it. Or click this if you're lazy. https://medium.com/risan/upgrade-your-ssh-key-to-ed25519-c6e...

Also of note, is Ed25519 does not harden itself with additional "bits" in the normal RSA sense, it relies on "rounds" of KDF to apply more brute-force protection to the passphrase (you did set a passphrase on your key right?). I would suggest using the -a option with 1000 or more rounds. If you pick 50,000 rounds you might be waiting 5 minutes to log in though.

Also of note, ECDSA (the other one) has had curve trust concerns due to NIST possibly being subverted by the NSA. You can read for days on this, but bottom line is we've all agreed to move on. https://security.stackexchange.com/a/227771 / https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/

Is Covid-19 a Force Majeure?
In my case this isn't it. What happens is during the connection process the server on the other side first announces what email its sending from, at that point my server responds with a reject message and closes the connection. I don't think my server even sees the subject or body. My server doesn't send a email, but instead that email is generated by the sending server to let the user know the message was rejected.

This error message is often delivered to a catchall account, they are often configured with small mailboxes, that box fills up, throws alerts and ticks off a sysadmin somewhere. I only do this in cases where it's easier to SSH into my box and configure it than unsubscribe, and never to random address spam as that is wack-a-mole and futile.

I think the sending servers may also be misconfigured to get around greylisting. As sometimes they will try repeatedly to deliver to me. My server dutifully rejects each attempt and the messages pile up on the other side.
Okay but when I go to the homepage, don't you think it's kind of ironic that it talks all about the achievements and badges that you can earn, then claims to be "no distractions"?

i think you have a vastly different definition of "under control" than i do.

Spinnaker. Huge. Clunky. But excellent if you can justify it.
Yes, those are good points. US is in an excellent position (but not as good as the average American think).

In 1960 the US was 40% of the world economy (in nominal terms). Right now is around 24%, it was 22% when Trump was elected.This number will decrease even further in the upcoming decades.

Regarding per-capita, quality-of-life measures, things like HDI, Gini coeffcient, Corruption Perception, Food and Enviromental protections the US tend to be in the middle of the pack for the OECD countries, usually around position 10-20. This was unthinkable in the 1960s when America #1 was taking for granted.
Makes you wonder how many people have actually died so far this way. Being told to stay home and not spread covid, meanwhile something else is actually terribly wrong.
Well, other western countries did use DDT heavily, e.g. Italy[0]. Besides, it's not like the means used in the 1930s didn't have a significant ecological effect...

I'll note that the modern suggestions to eradicate Malaria are more nuanced and at least try to only affect the parasite/host. e.g. releasing sterile males, immunizing the mosquitoes against the parasite[1], ATSBs, a GM fungus to poison mosquitoes, making human blood deadly to the parasite[2], etc.

IMHO (I'm far from an expert), the most promising seems to be releasing sterile males followed by some of the other approaches to deal the death blow to the parasite (though if the mosquito goes I won't be bothered).

There is a lot of hidden racism and colonialism in a lot of environmentalism.

Basically, the West developed and rid itself of a lot of disease and predators. But if developing countries try to do this, all sorts of “environmental” objections are raised.

I have even heard people say that mosquito borne illnesses are good because they keep people in poor nations from expanding into “pristine” forests.

Basically, if there were 100’s of thousands of children dying in the West from malaria, we would do anything to get rid of the problem(and we did). But when it is other people’s children dying, it becomes “think of the mosquitos.”
Nomad isn't really feature mature or user friendly enough, you still eventually need 100 bolt-ons.

Schools are screwed, this is just the perfect storm. Go spend $35yr on a middling state school or top 10 online program for $20k. Pretty sure the cachet of top 10 schools will make it an easy decision. They have tons of brand potential to unleash.
With respect, while I am sympathetic to the creative destructive dogma of capitalism, I see reality considerably differently.

I don't mean to be banal but the business of colleges is not "education". A large hall, an instructor, and a whiteboard is not competitive from the perspective of the customer base, nor is it attractive from the perspective of those who would populate the whiteboard with whatever.

What parents and students pay for is essentially a moderately supervised, branded, summer sleepaway camp experience (full year) filled with nice sounding time-occupying activities and vague, often unfulfilled, and also unaccountable promises that at the end of the camp experience someone will be willing to pay to utilize the time of the student, rather than the student/parents paying to have their time occupied.

There are various ways to creatively package the elements of that experience into a product, but in the "lean" formulations- like Lambda School- there is no real estate, no large hall. Real estate is expensive.

I think what we actually would see- are already seeing- in the closure of the bespoke, idiosyncratic small private colleges likely to die is the chain restaurant version of the bespoke, idiosyncratic small family restaurants that have largely gone by the wayside in American culture.

They will have a consistent brand, will cost maybe a little less, will pay their mostly expendable teaching staff considerably less, with no tenure (though performance bonuses and maybe equity grants for the stars, the way any sensibly managed business operates these days), with a manufactured curriculum delivered consistently across the "franchises" and with lots of entertainment and parent-appealing safety/oversight options, lots of addons for extra fees (semester abroad, anyone?), and some structure around the time-occupying activities that may- no guarantees- lead to eventual employment.

Welcome to Olive Garden, can I take your classroom order please?

Mediocre consistency at scale is how America works.

The right question is "How significant is this?" because of course predators have an effect on prey population dynamics, but the question is what effect and how big.

>We conclude that predators and parasites have a limited but
significant effect on overall mosquito populations, and their role should be considered when implementing habitat
management, mosquito control and when modeling mosquito population dynamics.

There is quite a bit of latency added whenever you use a containers.

IMO containers are greatest for stateless apps that don't require much resources, but having a dedicated machine for them is a waste.
It's 100% blame-shifting.

We all saw this happening in China for 2-3 months before it got here, then in Italy a month before it got here. It was all over the news. And we did nothing, as you note.

> In my mind standardisation is how we really solve problems in much of software development.

I've been having this thought very often lately.

The only way for humans to do something faster is to use a machine. Any machine is built on some assumption that something is repeatedly true, that some things can be repeatedly interacted with in the same way.

Finding true invariants is very hard, but our world is increasingly malleable. Over time it is getting easier to invent new invariants and pad things out so that the invariant holds.

These are the same Senators (and Representatives) that vote for these measures. They'll never be the target of these surveillance schemes... and when they are, they throw a huge fit[1] because they're supposedly above all of it. They're the same people who ban guns from the public, but own operate and illegally traffic them themselves[2].

If you protect general population then you reduce also exposure of the doctors.

Preventing general population buying up all PPE does not necessary require lying about its effectiveness.

This lie has second level effects because now many people think that wearing mask is not effective and it is difficult to implement mask wearing practice.

I know that it has been impossible at least in one country to get people to wear masks because of this.
> > Might as well rent bare-metal servers. It will cost you less.

There are no up front costs. GP said rent dedicated, not buy your own metal. If there's anything in cloud it's the many pre-written services (queue, database etc) but GP is right: if you go k8s you aren't going to use many/at all so why not just go and rent cheap servers that get deployed in two minutes instead of renting expesive virtual servers which get deployed in a few seconds?

The buzzword mumbo-jumbo on the first paragraph alone (which isn't really even your fault or anything, just the bogus pomp inherent to k8s as a whole) is already a scarecrow to anyone that "wasn't born with the knowledge", really.
