Looks interesting but difficult to get the details from just the slides.

Also, not sure why Azure Arc still gets mentioned. I would have expected something more cloud independent.

Our approach, for now, is to use Kubernetes Postgres for dev, test, and even stage, but cloud Postgres for prod. We have one db.yaml that in production just become an endpoint so that all of the services do not even have to know if it is an internal or external Postgres.

Another interesting use of Kubernetes Postgres would be for some transient but bigger than memory store that needs to be queryable for a certain amount of time. It's probably a very niche use-case, but the deployment could be dramatically more straightforward since HA is not performance bound.

Looks like JavaFX or Swing to me-- SWT doesn't really do themed widgets (everything looks like the platform's native controls).
Yes hate speech against white people has been normalized in our society for some time now.
The problem with having an Android phone is that then you have to actually use the damn thing.

On a more serious note though, in iOS 14 app developers are responsible for any SDK's their app uses including data egress.
Free speech so long as you agree with what they're saying.
They've thought about the use case. But it still ends up being a cluster inside a cluster, which sounds potentially pretty bad to me. Clusters of different types, mostly unaware of each other. Schema changes and database version upgrades would be complicated.
no boots on the ground is why it failed. saw many ads on mobile reddit, about quibi. and even was a massive turn off.
they made the same mistake, netflix is doing now: not investing in good content creators i.e writers, producers etc. have a home run of a show, then people will migrate to your platform. same playbook, disney+ used.

A few years from now, it is plausible that some developers won't bother with Catalyst and will release ARM-only apps.

Also, Apple has announced that iOS/iPad apps will run on ARM-based Macs without any developer intervention.

Buying an Intel-based Mac now means missing out on forwards compatibility.
Well since that edit of his was from 1 day ago, hopefully he does show the little proof he has remaining soon.

I am wary of his claims too.
This seems strange to me. My iCloud account is my Gmail address (even though I also have an iCloud one on the account) and when I use Sign in with Apple I get an option to redirect all emails to Gmail.

But the system is indeed weird, I signed up for an account in an app with bike routes and wanted later to check it in the browser and had no idea what or how to find out what my account is or how should I sign in (could be also the app/website didn't implement this properly).
WMD's are wonderful for keeping other countries from attacking (but who wants to invade Russia?), but of little use for offensive purposes.
Fascism never went away; it was a mortal threat in 1965 when Herbert Marcuse wrote Repressive Tolerance, one of the most influential essays ever written: http://www.marcuse.org/herbert/pubs/60spubs/1965MarcuseRepre...

>"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right, and toleration of movements from the Left."

>"The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is extreme danger. I maintain that our society IS in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs. Different opinions and "philosophies" can no longer compete peacefully for adherence and persuasion on rational grounds: the "marketplace of ideas" is organized and delimited by those who determine national and the individual interest."
Even within the US, women are the majority. And I really doubt that reddit's intention was to say that it's okay to be hateful specifically towards women.

I think it's more narrow-minded than that. My guess is that reddit employees are operating within a "silicon valley tech" bubble, where white men are the majority and are (what I assume to be) their intended target with this statement.

However, completely disregarding who this statement is targeted at, it's a statement that explicitly says that hateful acts are okay towards some people. And to put it bluntly, I just can't believe that someone in a position of power at a multi-billion dollar company would be stupid enough to put such a statement in a public announcement.
With app store apps I am told what permissions they need and I usually opt to not install them, but it's hard to get by without a web browser these days.

Point taken, though I'm not sure that's exactly what I said. My complaint re: accounting is that Patreon integrates horribly with QBO. If they cared, they would have a webhook that rolled up all collected pledges, payment processing fees, sales taxes and platform fees into a single sales receipt so that QBO et al could ingest and record it as a sale (or a list of sales).

Also, the thing about "revenue" vs "earnings" on their creator side analytics is just straight up deceptive. They don't need to be accounting software, but that doesn't mean that they can throw around accounting terms however they want.
That's quibbling over details, or the exception that proves the rule.

Candidate selection used to be a backroom affair. Now it's an open democratic process.

Party leadership obviously has their favorites, and can certainly try to push voters a certain way. But at the end of the day, people are still voting in primaries. Yes there are superdelegates too, like there's also an electoral college.

But political primaries are based on voting by the people now. They weren't before. That's the point.
That's why Blizzard decided to come out against the Hong Kong people? Western companies don't move in lockstep because they scramble in whatever direction they think a dollar is in.

I can name plenty of western companies that have come out in support of the Hong Kong people and plenty that have abandoned them for a quick buck. Can you name one Chinese (Not Honk Kong or Taiwanese companies, these are under different governments) company that has come out in support of the people of Hong Kong against the CCP?

I'd argue that the lockdown was (and potentially, unfortunately, will be again) a better time for standard long shows, someone could binge 10 hours in a row.
Is it possible that Stefan Molyneux wants one, even though he doesn't actively advocate for it?

Because everything I've heard from him suggests he would love one... which meets your definition squarely.
Email is not controlled by Google. There is myriad of other big players in the field, plus you can get an email server on your own domain up and running in ~ 5 minutes
That makes a lot of sense. If each (and every) of the actions is nuanced, I can see a group being oppressed without violence and possibly even without aggression if the oppressors believe they are helping the oppressed with their policies. Though of course the nature of the actions is such that there is plausible deniability should motive come into question. Goodness.
Nothing is perfect. But my statement that "war is made redundant by global trade", still remains.

The problem is that some countries ( eg. China) are not playing by the same rules and limiting exposure to downsides of global trade ( by protectionism) that they still do stupid things ( eg. The problems between China and India currently).

Both countries are not already in a war, because they are trading and it would hurt both economies. It's even mentioned in a recent article of the current conflict.

I'll give you another POV and that is that the UN is pretty new ( 20 years) and the biggest positive change in the last century. There are problems ofc, but that doesn't undermine my statement.

The second biggest change was the fall of the USSR for more democracy. And Russia is still struggling with this after 30 years.

Still not true, for instance if A is "proven". If A is not not proven, it doesn't mean it is proven; it can still be a hypothesis. And yet, proven == proven.
It means /r/sino and other CPC propaganda subs can survive. It's all about that sweet Tencent money. People worry about Huawei but Tencent is significantly worse and they are part of Reddit for a long time.
So if a page is running a computation in the background, for example, rendering some real time chart or something, you'd rather it continue to do work and waste battery life, then to throttle itself?

But then you'll say "well the browser should just throttle any tab i'm not looking at" (which it already does), but then you'll complain the first time an app you actually want live updating doesn't work properly.
Sort of a pre-emptive revenge, then.
But you didn’t try anything to confirm/infirm this hypothesis?
There were several posts predicting this exact outcome yesterday on subreddits drama. The people close to the pulse knew.
+1 for Mercury. Super simple signup, and great UI. Love that there's a mobile app! Real nice to have virtual cards.

Only nitpick is when my co-founders linked their bank accounts to Mercury to transfer money, Mercury displayed their personal account balances (after unlinking their accounts, their personal balances no longer showed up). I had to wire transfer since Plaid didn't work for my bank.

Tim O'Reilly interview: VC is Now Fundamentally Broken (6:40)
I'd imagine the inception of Quibi in the first place probably was a conversation like that?

This situation is emblematic of the fundamental conflict it would face. On the one side the desire to produce rapid cheap bite-size content to iterate on for a metrics-based tech company, on the other blowing all the cash for said content on the Hollywood tactic of putting star power on the red carpet
Apple has been increasing displaying rent seeking behavior more and more recently. They're not just trying to make money from HW.
Unless you have a really good shared storage, I don't see any advantage for running Postgres in Kubernetes. Everything is more complicated without any real benefit. You can't scale it up, you can't move pod. If pg fails to start for some reason, good luck jumping into container to inspect/debug stuff. I am neither going to upgrade PG every 2 weeks nor it is my fresh new microservice that needs to be restarted when it crashes or scaled up when I need more performances. And PG has high availability solution which kind of orthogonal to what k8s offers.

One could argue that for sake of consistency you could run PG in K8S, but that is just hammer & nail argument for me.

But if you have a really good shared storage, then it is worth considering. But, I still don't know if any network attached storage can beat local attached RAID of Solid state disks in terms of performance and/or latency. And there is/was fsync bug, which is terrible in combination with somewhat unreliable network storage.

For me, I see any database the same way I see etcd and other components of k8s masters: they are the backbone. And inside cluster I run my apps/microservices. This apps are subject to frequent change and upgrades and thus profit most from having automatic recovery, failover, (auto)scaling, etc.
I mean the Democrats tried to nominate one for president and have one in congress in New York.
This comment might be too meta/off topic but..

This thread is hilarious. You have people spamming the same link over and over again and not be greyed out, but if you look into their comment history you'll find dead comments with such controversial opinions as "spice was lucrative during the age of sail" and "Vegan Italian food is possible". HNers are a mercurial lot.

I'm looking forward to see the reactions of HN once similar bans get enacted closer to home. The free speech and free market absolutists have been silent so far, let's see how long they can maintain the cognitive dissonance.

Building systems on top of complexity doesn't shield anyone from it. The author acknowledges this explicitly:

> High Effort - Running anything in Kubernetes is complex, and databases are worse

By definition, it's more stuff you need to know.

Even if the K8s operator saves time for 95% of the use cases, the last 5% is required. For instance, how do these operators handle upgrading extensions that require on-disk changes? Can you upgrade them concurrently with major version PG upgrades? When the operator doesn't provide a command line admin tool that fits your needs, how do you proceed?
If AR goes mainstream, I feel that way will be the nail in the coffin for any future where web-based apps rule the world. I just don’t see how the web could compete with native AR apps that operate “close to the metal”. The web still can’t even provide a user experience even comparable to that of a standard mobile app

Edit: Keep in mind that I’m not saying web apps will disappear. Just that they might not have any more mainstream relevance than they have today

> i think the problem is, some types of groups/ideologies work very well over social media (accusatory messages, memes, rumors, conspiracies) while others that are more thoughtful dont seem to do as well, because they take patience and time to go through

I can't help but notice that the inflammation of this kind of content dovetails nicely with the profit motive of the medium in question.

If we were able to open and audit the entirety of the algorithmic decision-making regarding what appears in users' feeds, does any of us doubt that hostilities and insecurities are amplified?
Temporarily at least. A lot will depend on whether Britain makes a success of Brexit or not.
GitHub and GitLab have visual indications for the mirroring you mentioned, example:

• https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8

• https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8

I'm not aware of any tools that sync issues between the platforms. But, I'm sure someone could build something to set that up using GitHub Actions / GitLab CI.
Why should Apple be allowed to dictate if an app asks for an email address? They should not become the defacto law makers of our society

Your [1] has three standards for three groups of people.

1. black people who can verify and get a flair

2. non-white and non-black people who can verify but don't get a flair

3. white people can ask the moderators for entrance, but it only says they will will "receive further instructions." It's not clear what these further instructions are supposed to be.

This is racist and if a right wing subreddit did it, they would have been banned years ago.
I can't argue in good faith with someone who believes that white supremacists should continue to have a platform. I hope you do some research and look back on this comment with shame. White supremacists do not deserve a platform, flat out. Disagreeing with this is explicitly agreeing with white supremacy.
i don't know of a cutoff offhand, but it's not the number of people (like dunbar's) but rather the amount of coordination, or in statistical terms, covariance. there's linear and non-linear considerations, like heteroscedasticity, as well, so it may need to be a set of statistical measures.

in any case, representation itself could benefit a lot from experimentation and innovation. we now have the technological means to implement a direct democracy on the scale of billions of people, something practically impossible only a few decades ago.
AWS Facial Recognition Misidentified over 100 Politicians as Criminals
What, why is the presidency two party in nature? Any transferable vote system would change this surely?
Reminds me of a cult classic Polish dark comedy filmed under the iron curtain, 1981 Mis. It had a scene involving a sport team visiting west for the first time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk2SqlL3Vt0&feature=youtu.be... Sports club President monologue goes like this:

"You are going to the capital of a capitalist country.
This country may have its plusses.
The point is, however, that the plusses shouldn't blind you to the minusses!"

(„Jedziecie do stolicy kraju kapitalistycznego, który to kraj ma być może nawet tam i swoje plusy. Rozchodzi się jednak o to, żeby te plusy nie przesłoniły wam minusów!”)

Iron curtain fell 8 years after making this movie.
Thanks. I would try to take this approach.
In the USA, the reason is the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Both in text & traditional interpretation, that gives them the right to speak & assemble – but not do other non-communicative actions that would be criminal no matter the motivations.
Thanks! I am use to 0-indexing in J and other PLs, but for some reason I thought month numbers were always cardinal numbers and should start at 1 in my subconscious!
I also listened to him ten years ago. Every week or two I'd pick a new channel to watch to death while working, so I've probably consumed 40+ hours of content.

I heard bits and pieces over the years since that gave me the same reaction - what the hell happened. Although in retrospect the seeds were probably there even back then.

One thing that came out later was him emotionally explaining to the camera that the problem with the world is that women choose assholes to date. Another was his violent fantasy about what he'd do to his mother. That these kinds of outbursts didn't lose him his audience pretty much tells you all you need to know.

It's a shame, as there were a few pieces that stuck with me from when I watched it that I think made me a better person.

It was the first time I'd personally been exposed to ideas (mainly because I was young) like never hit children, it's OK to cut contact with an abusive family, that circumcision on babies is wrong and that you should structure your life to spend a great deal of time with your children if you want to be a parent. They've all pretty much stuck with me until today.

Plus a bunch of interesting in theory libertarian stuff, although I'm so far away from many of his positions it's almost comical (I'm the kind of person that wants high income and capital gains taxes and 100% inheritance taxes to fund a basic income), I find it a good diff on current society.

It's a shame, because if he had progressed towards cuddly-bear Molyneux instead of I-want-to-run-a-cult Molyneux, I think he could have been a positive force instead of the target of what is a pretty well justified ban today.
It’s bizarre to me that you’d make a statement like this with absolutely nothing evidence-based to back it up.

Edit: also, it’s equally amazing and horrifying to me that anyone could think a middle-ground between white supremacy and racial equality is “healthy”.
> Chinese companies offer real competition to that. Chinese companies are very good for my political freedom.

I would not totally agree with that statement. In some ways I may be able to speak more freely as a foreigner on Chinese run platforms because China might not care to suppress the same news that American run platforms would try to suppress. I would not agree that they offer political freedom. The CCP does not believe in any level of free speech. For an example see the recent news. Not only do they want to suppress it but even outside China they try to erase that history.

Every time I've read the details on these recent stories it says something like "Ford is one of the latest companies to announce a 30-day pause of all social-media advertising on Monday" but the headline is Facebook. Doesn't "all social-media advertising" mean ALL social networks, like Twitter too?
None or practically none of these companies are actually doing anything real. Pulling ads for a month or two only to go back is an empty gesture.

It gets even worse if you choose to look at this through the lens of: This lets them test the how effective FB ads are during a period of time they are already trying to save a buck AND they get to look "woke" while they do it.

Is this a pessimistic/cynical view? Absolutely but it's from a place of watching this play out over and over with no real change. Fool me a million times and all that...
The wwdc session on the silicon says they are symmetric (have the same instruction set) unlike the usual big.LITTLE implementation.

That being said presumably Rosetta 2 will be pegged to the faster cores (your app can do hunting as to what sort of load it might create/need).
Yep, hating the new Nazis is just fine. They're still people, no need to dehumanize them.

I don’t even want these 16 api’s. I want a way to do notifications and a way to store more than 50 mb on ios. Sure, make me and the user jump through hoops to make sure I’m not abusive, but with those two there are a ton of apps which I can build as pwa’s.

The app clips feature they showed? That should have been a qr code triggered pwa with notifications, except everybody had to build it as an app because they couldn’t do notifications, and then apple used the cumbersome nature of those apps as the reason for app clips. It’s the snake eating its own tail, and I’m getting IE6 vibes because microsoft also strategically stopped improving IE for web apps because they wanted to push app developers to native because of the improved user experience. Yeah, the web is worse, but worse is better.
Google is a public company, not that it should matter in this context.
All the FIDO2 capable devices I'm aware of are intended to be used with some external factor. For a Yubico Security Key 2 that's a PIN (unlike your passwords the PIN isn't sent anywhere, it's verified by the device) and some other devices use a fingerprint. Platform authenticators are going to do all sorts of stuff, like Apple's FaceID.

So if you lose it the credentials are now essentially worthless (anybody who found it or stole it presumably doesn't have your PIN / fingerprints / face) and you should revoke them from sites where they were trusted.

Nothing prevents you from enrolling multiple FIDO2 resident key devices for a site, the site would store all the relevant credentials and you could use any of them to log in. I expect Apple's implementation notes for that demo last week tell implementers to allow multiple enrolment because some of Apple's best customers own an iPhone and an iPad and a MacBook Pro and expect to use all three.

But sure, you can use the second-factor-only FIDO behaviour on a FIDO2 key just fine, it's just that FIDO2 resident keys can offer a nicer user journey while still being secure.
