There are plenty of us who think that the "Paradox of Tolerance" is mistaken, rather than truth. It may sound reasonable, but it is used in practice to define ideas we don't like as intolerant, and then exclude those who hold those ideas.

If you look around, those on the left aren't showing themselves to be paragons of tolerance. They are nearly as narrow-minded as the right, just with different in-groups and out-groups. And if you deviate from their orthodoxy, they will get you. They've just labeled their orthodoxy "tolerance", so they can cite the Paradox of Tolerance as their reason for being intolerant of you, shunning you, and trying to destroy you.

Apple, HP, etc should take note and sell their laptops as "have the hardware needed for full AGI capability."

Chemistry kits with a sample of every element in the periodic table should advertise them as "have all the materials needed for COVID-19 vaccine."
I believe that people who claim to be mad at Chinese human rights abuses are mostly genuine in their feelings. They also have a blind spot for the abuses of their own country and their allies. That blind spot probably comes from the part of ourselves that's very tribal, as well as a social and political environment that ignores and minimizes self-criticism.

Now, if we're talking about the US state department, then absolutely they're doing it for geopolitical interests. However, they're also reflecting the concerns of at least some of their citizens.

I'd also like to note that there's a moral equivalence argument to be made here. It's possible that China's abuses are actually worse than our own. Or maybe not. I just want to acknowledge that aspect of this argument, but I don't want to get into it because I'm not really informed enough to make it, and I'm certain that 80% of that impression is formed by skimming headlines and whatnot, which is not really a proper basis for debate.

I have, and I also adore the cars, my next car will likely be a Tesla and I own the stock. I've spent a lot of time researching the company so I didn't come to this conclusion by being bitter over the company.

I think it's important to point out that the success of the company is largely built on the mythos of the man rather than the objective success of the cars. Tesla, earlier this week reached a market cap exceeding Toyota, and is larger than every other American auto manufacturer combined, despite having a fraction of the revenue. A lot of that is predicated on the "fibs" that

* All the "data" being collected by Tesla cars will be used to create full autonomous driving

* The battery technology will be so desirable that Tesla will sell batteries to everyone

* SpaceX will put a colony on mars, and they will only drive Teslas on mars

You remove Musk from the equation, and its doubtful that any other person could convince investors, fans, and potential customers that Tesla will ever accomplish of these things and tank the value of the company. If that happens it's clear that Musk will not only lose a ton of money, but ,depending on how profitable they are, they will lose their cash cow that allows Tesla to aggressively grow.
Bazel is fucking awful. Most miserable years of my career is when I was tasked with maintaining a build system based on it. Same for gRPC, which TFA also does a good job of shutting down.

I think a more powerful statement would be for us to ask that Grant Imahara be honored by the black bar, rather than ask why he doesn't warrant one.

The former is a gentle request, the latter is inflammatory.

For this, I ask @dang that we black-bar for Grant Imahara.

> Capitalism doesn't dictate how every citizen live their life.

That's not really true. Reports of living "off-grid" make it out to be extremely diffiicult to not be part of the consumer economy. Similarly, the un-banked have a lot of trouble. Heck, even adamant Linux users report a huge amount of trouble when trying not to be part of the "Windows Ecosystem".
I have provided two different explanations for my interpretation. You have just commented that I am wrong twice. If you want me to actually consider your opinion, maybe you should actually give a reason why I am wrong.
Interesting. One of the things that ancient China had that other comparable civilizations didn't was an intellectual culture that transcended the political divisions of the time. Which allowed for a lot of innovation, and spreading of knowledge. Closest thing in Europe before the modern time is maybe late Rome, but it was fairly centralized, which made it harder for innovations to spread and take hold. Whereas ancient China had power spread out much more, even when it was notionally ruled by a single dynasty

> In 2015, an unrelated tool called Kubernetes was released by Google (but, really, by Xooglers). I would go so far as to say that Kubernetes (or, as the "cool kids" say, k8s) is the worst thing to happen to system administration since systemd.

Oh for crying out loud. This Kubernetes bashing is getting so old.

Frankly, I think it's the best thing that has happened in the past few years. Boohoo it requires some YAML. Yeah. And then you get lots of value out of the box.

Systemd bashing is a bit more deserved, but this horse has been dead for a while now.

And there's also some CoreOS bashing too. CoreOS is/was spetacular.
It's really fucking sad that Mozilla is struggling so much financially. They didn't participate on the iOS platform for a long time, then they burned a huge pile of cash on FirefoxOS, and now they have to somehow match the engineering resources of Google and Microsoft.

I personally work on a decentralized web project ... but even I can't fault them for shutting down side projects. Every project either needs to provide alternative revenue streams or feed into getting Firefox on par with Chrome's speed, security, and feature set. Hopefully Chrome will follow through with neutering their ad-blocking and people will switch back to Firefox.
I realize my dependence on comforts made me mentally weak. I become easily irritable and feel exposed and vulnerable when I'm not around my comforts.

Ultimately, it started feeling like I'm paying to become mentally weaker so now I opt to live a life with nothing to lose.

After I no longer care about my income, I can now fearlessly call people out on their bullshit at work and challenge their decisions. It helped me focus more at work and make the right decisions instead of the easy ones.

I think it’s what makes it fun. Your channel will likely never grow to be large, but then you get to interact with a healthier community at a slower pace. Jayne (Overwatch Coach) has been streaming on FB Gaming and has been enjoying the luxury of a smaller view count.

I would imagine most big streamers (let’s say 10K+) would enjoy a smaller community more than a larger one - if they could make the same amount of $$$.
I think it's more of a category in the US: "I got fat because I ate too many sweets" sounds reasonably American, but "I have two sweets left" sounds more British.

Ah, yeah good point. Haha, for the worst hack ever you could override the font the browser users for monospaced font, at least in Firefox[0]. Obviously that breaks other legitimate uses of monospaced fonts. As for it being a poor styling choice, we'll just have to agree to disagree. :)

> It was almost entirely kum-ba-yah sessions where the teachers would ask the kids what they were doing and how they were feeling.

Maybe in the middle of a pandemic, when you’re trapped at home, away from your friends, with parents who are busy working — what you really need is a little kumbaya?

At some point we need to transition away from “crisis mode” but making sure kids are doing ok, when their worlds have been turned upside-down, seems like a completely reasonable use of time to me.
Two points, in defense of Sweden

1. If we believe the flatten the curve rhetoric, Sweden is behind the worst of it, and Norway, Finland, and Denmark will see slightly elevated excess deaths for a while, bringing the disparity closer.

2. Sweden may have staved off the some of the economic losses of locking down.

We still need more time to see what happens and evaluate the above.

One thing to note is that Sweden's excess death percentage is by no means a catastrophe compared to other countries. It's a data point of what the ceiling for mortality may look like if a country does nothing.

One other important thing to note, the percentage of non-covid excess deaths seems much higher for countries that lock down compared to Sweden for example [1]. It's possible that lockdowns spread covid deaths out over time instead of decreasing them, while creating non-covid excess deaths that you otherwise wouldn't have.

> What's wrong with the YAML?

Nothing at all. Until you start 'templateizing' it (looking at you, Helm).

It's definitely better than JSON (it can even have comments, imagine that). Most people don't bother reading the spec or even examples though, and don't realize how good it actually is.
How is that not an advertisement? It seems like a textbook example.
> I don't think anyone realistically lives on an aircraft for an extended time, do they?

It's an interesting thought. I'd like to believe there's an old bush pilot living out of his Cessna 208 in Australia or something. Now that van life is taking off among the rich, I don't see why this isn't possible.

My favorite activity (in life really) is to "make order out of chaos". Refactoring from tiny feature to full rewrite is prime example of this. Adding tests, adding documentation, all of it. Loves it!

In real life I get "chaos -> order" highs from organizing my collections, tidying up house, doing dishes, etc.

If I look around code base or my house and there is chaos I get stress. If everything is "in it's spot", ordered, understood I literally feel wave of "ease" wash over me, I am able to relax.
When it comes to timeline, it's very wise.
It makes good sense for the OS to abstract this for a few reasons:

- You'll get into trouble when migrating a process between cores in heterogeneous environments (having cores that support different ISA extensions is relatively uncommon today, but Intel has already announced some, and people have gotten into trouble in the past with e.g. reading cacheline sizes when big and little cores used different values).

- This can be a pretty slow operation on some platforms, and the system can make it more efficient by caching it (and can provide additional capabilities information that may not have existed on older CPUs so that there's a uniform interface).
This question is explored in-depth in the article.

I hope I don't sound combative, but "most people can't handle that imagined level of control in reality" don't seem very fact based. All companies used to self host, because there wasn't cloud. Many organisations still self host, like shared hosting providers, governmental institutions, banks.
I have two counter arguments against "big cloud can do better":

1) There is often assumption, that people behind cloud services are smarter than anyone else and don't make mistakes.
In reality, they still are humans. Big names attract some bright people, but not anyone is genius with good working in team skills.

2) Cloud companies have much harder problem to solve. They have two hostile fronts, outside world and clients. They need protect themselves from malicious clients and keep clients separated.
They offer generic services for everyone, so there is unused functionality for your use-case. You can disable/uninstall things in your self hosted setup (infra as whole, not meaning inside your virtual machine), filter aggressively in network perimeter and so on.

Self host don't only mean "running in some closet somewhere or in some random colocation center". I can't say, how things are done in US, but in my country government has several DC-s/server rooms for governmental agencies. There is on premises hosting too, sometimes with very good physical security.
I had only heard of Enchroma but then stumbled across and bought some Pilestone glasses last month. I think they cost me around £120 here in the UK.

At first I put them on and they just made everything look tinged with pink so removed them after a minute or two. Then I noticed the instructions. I had assumed glasses didn't need instructions but all it said was to leave them on for at least 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust.

My eyes did 'adjust' after a few minutes more and while it wasn't something that would make me cry like the viral videos, there was definitely an emotional reaction. I wore them on a walk through the countryside and the vivid colours of certain flowers did make me stop and I found I couldn't stop grinning.

I did find that reds look a bit orange - things like the Royal Mail van which is certainly red appeared quite bright and what I would previously have called orange. Who knows if that's wrong or right though? It's hard to know how everyone else sees things.

I don't wear the glasses day-to-day but I do take them with me if we are going somewhere picturesque.
Yep, I misunderstood then - definitely vulnerable on its own!
Engineering quality is about nothing other than meeting the spec- how well does google accomplish that?

It sounds like you have some issues with the design itself, maybe some issues with the business practices. Those are issues with the spec, not the engineering. The engineering team delivers the spec, they do it smoothly, they do it at scale

I don't know how you got from "debatable loyalty to Google" to "the language was mostly inspired by Bell Labs tech, rather than Google", which is perfectly fine. But it doesn't explain your animosity and refusal to discuss based on technical merits, rather than just (what is clearly) axe-grinding.

Note that Go ended up being a major language within Google for a wide range of systems (even replacing systems built previously by the Go developers, such as sawzall), so rather than saying "debatable loyalty to google", might it not be better to say that the developers worked to transform Google from the inside to be less dependent on C++ and Java?
Oh I'm sure they operate in even greater numbers internally, but I'm equally sure China puts out as much foreign propaganda as they think they can get away with. "Sinophobia" in response to criticism of verified CCP actions in particular seems an attempt to weaponize the current cancel culture in the west.

Hell China did likewise to the Mongol tribes for centuries until Genghis Khan came along. It's not like sowing discord among one's rivals is a new or novel strategy, and while Hacker News might be intelligent enough on average to see through it the bulk of the internet lacks that sort of scrutiny. Suggesting China and America are moral equals might not carry much weight in America, maybe even Western Europe, but Africa? The Middle East? South America? China has certainly tried more radical operations in the past, posting a swarm of "nudge" posts on social media to try and inch world opinion its way seems like an easy call if I were the Chinese propaganda ministry.

They have motive, means and opportunity.
You might have preferred his description of Kakapo-speak in Last Chance to See then

> “The booming [mating call] is deep, very deep, just on the threshold of what you can actually hear and what you can feel. This means that it carries for very great distances, but that you can’t tell where it’s coming from. If you’re familiar with certain types of stereo setups, you’ll know that you can get an additional speaker called a sub-woofer which carries only the bass frequencies and which you can, in theory, stick anywhere in the room, even behind the sofa. The principle is the same: you can’t tell where the bass sound is coming from.

> The female kakapo can’t tell where the booming is coming from either, which is something of a shortcoming in a mating call. “Come and get me!” “Where are you?” “Come and get me!” “Where the hell are you?” “Come and get me!” “Look, do you want me to come or not?” “Come and get me!” “Oh, for heaven’s sake.” “Come and get me!” “Go and stuff yourself” is roughly how it would go in human terms.”

Calling your climate change denying coworker a backwards dumb-ass is not illegal. You can of course be fired for that inappropriate behavior, but it isn't illegal. Weiss specifically called out this behavior as unlawful discrimination.

Also it is worth pointing out that Weiss's job was to voice opinions. It is entirely different for someone in that role to face backlash for their bad opinions than it is for someone in the role of let's say a mid-level software developer.

No that is lane departure warning. Lane assist, which almost every major manufacturer now offers, does the steering to keep you in your lane, and combines with adaptive cruise control to follow the car in front of you at a safe distance. This is almost universally available, and not specific to Tesla at all.

They are bullying and harassing people, and trying to lump that in with "criticism". To make it worse, when they get called out on it, the left goes to victim blaming. It is just gross, like when people point out what a girl was wearing in a sexual assault case.

You can criticize, you can ignore and you can boycott. Instead too many people (look at the response to JK Rowling) are threatening death and rape. Or are harassing employers until they capitulate.

Cloud providers aren't very intelligent security layers.

My favorite example is my Google Voice account. It has a different area code (out of state) than my real phone number. I get a lot of spam calls, almost all through Google Voice, and I know not to answer them, because nobody legitimate calls me from the area code my Voice number is from.

Google has state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and spam filtering capabilities. It's arguably the two most sophisticated advantages Google has. And it is completely ineffective at blocking spam calls. If Google Voice gave me the ability to create my own filter rules, I could write a one-line rule that would drop any call from that one area code, and I would have perfect spam filtering for my account.

This isn't an example about Google Voice, but about the difference between generalized technologies that cloud providers use versus configurations you can apply yourself that are custom tailored. Obviously, Google can't block everyone in that area code as a spam filtering method... many people legitimately have that area code. But for my phone, it would be a good rule and would be nearly 100% effective.

Which is to say, my engineering regiments will always be more capable than my cloud provider's engineering regiments, because mine know my system and my customers and my use cases. I'm paying engineering regiments either way, so I might as well pay my own.
No thanks...looks terribly bad.
