> Some databases can enforce relationships at the systems level, using foreign keys, constraints, and other similar concepts, but these built-in checks and constraints represent only a small set of possible characteristics that may be modeled in any given system. Likewise, ORMs like ActiveRecord can check data at write time using validations, but these often need to be disabled in performance sensitive code, and can themselves contain bugs.

The paper Aerobic microbial life persists in oxic marine sediment as old as 101.5 million years [1]:

> Our results suggest that microbial communities widely distributed in organic-poor abyssal sediment consist mainly of aerobes that retain their metabolic potential under extremely low-energy conditions for up to 101.5 Ma.

> Dominant bacterial groups included Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, and Deltaproteobacteria (Fig. 3b, c) with a minor fraction of Chloroflexi (0– 2.6%).

It seems that it is the conditions that extends life since such a diverse community of aerobes was "reanimated".

> It's why people use it in the first place.

Easier to run a small service in a predictable environment where nobody can step on your toes. Also pretty easy to adjust resource allocations, update pieces independently, easier to isolate screwups (1 part going down sometimes is better then whole thing going down), etc.

I mean, of course you can't approach the task as "we want to deploy on k8s first, no matter what" - of course you have to consider the task at hand and if it works better as monolith - keep the monolith (you can still use k8s - it's just a way to run code, any code can be run within it). But if the task suits the model - e.g. many data processing/transformation/ML workflows do - having a tool like k8s can make deployment easier. One doesn't have to make a religion out of it, but if your problem looks like a bunch of processes working on separate tasks, it may be a useful tool to manage them.

Whether it'd scale better, performance-wise, is a very tricky question, which depends a lot on the task at hand. I think flexibility is a more important aspect. If your task is monolithic and all you need is raw power then maybe k8s isn't the answer.

Hey I'm Tyler Hayes, https://twitter.com/thetylerhayes. Former cofounder of Bebo (acq. Twitch last year) and used to PM at Disqus.

Basically I made this because I ran an email list for 3 years helping friends get hired. The email list was getting unwieldy already and with this pandemic, just seemed like a lot more people could use something like this than just my personal friends.

So I turned my email list into a product. It's a "close friends job board" called HobJunt.

It lists people who are looking, not jobs

Just launched the site a few days ago. We have 50 people listed and about 500 people on the distribution lists.

I'd love all thoughts & feedback!

p.s. if you're jobhunting or hiring, reply here or DM me on Twitter (DMs open) and I'll help you write & edit your listing.

> Why do we need a gold standard study

Because it involves millions of human lives.

> when the medicine is 60 years old and Africa and Indian have been using it forever to fight malaria and it seems to be helping those areas of the world already?

Malaria is not Covid-19. It's not even a virus. By your logic, any random flu drug should be used to treat Covid-19, because flu is much closer (both in terms of pathology and symptoms) than malaria is.

Africa and India have absolutely not been using HCQ "forever" to fight this illness that has only existed for ~8 months.

> Who acts like that as people are dying around them, "Well we need one more study to prove its effective."

People who have learned from history that treating people with the wrong drug can kill them or permanently damage their bodies.

> Why not just let doctors and people take it and make up there own minds. Humans are NOT a bunch of idiots, they can think for themselves.

Individual doctors have no visibility into whether a drug is safe or not. Anecdotes, hunches, and uncontrolled trials kill people. They killed people for hundreds of years before medicine advanced and started to require randomized, controlled trials.

Just because someone doesn't know whether HCQ works doesn't make them an idiot. No one is treating someone like an idiot by refusing them an experimental treatment. The entire point of having doctors is so that people don't have to make up their own minds, because it requires years of education to have any idea what you're doing when treating something as complex as a human being.
100%, this problem is endemic to human society. Generally most people are reasonably smart, are not assholes, are doing their best. But the incentives and team structures inherent to any organization make people behave in bad ways.
In an interview he stated he doesn't view Gawker as journalists and I agree. It's frankly baffling that Gawker are regareded as the poor underdog fighting for journalistic freedom when they were a multi-million Dollar cooperation backed by investors that released the private sex tape of an individual.

> We also are bailing people out anyway- the extra federal unemployment made unemployment benefits worth more than workers' average pay.

We had no problem bailing out a ton of businesses that didn't need it, so clearly there is no shortage of money. Also, making more money from unemployment during a pandemic is a feature, not a bug. People need to stay at home. That's the whole, entire goal.

> Because the first bill doesn't expire until the end of this month.

The checks have stopped. Unless you think they can get the bill passed and checks sent and delivered by this Friday, then there will be a gap that most people can't cover. So the Senate has indeed decided not to care as they are quite aware this is the case and have had two months to deal with it, yet refused to. So it's irrelevant when "the bill" expires when people aren't getting anymore money already and there's no plan for them to get any in the near future.

> It's the people that chose to not wear masks. It's the people that chose to go to events and go on vacation.

The only thing that has improved is how easily a celebrity can reach millions

From Wikipedia:

Celebrity is a reference to the fame and wide public recognition of an individual or a group

I'd posit that celebrities are celebrities by connecting with millions. A platform that offers a "celebrity" the ability to connect easily with millions seems to be worth more than a list of any other features.
They'll have have access to all your store visits, what your family and friends look like and their store visits, what they buy.

Sure they have the right to this, and you can choose whether or not to shop with them if they do, but would you want them to without your consent?

I've played against the Iroquois nationals in three world championships. while very bruising they are fabulously creative on the field, really a joy to play and watch and lacrosse runs through their blood.

Lacrosse is not the same without them since they formed their first national team. I would suggest watching Spirit Game: pride of a nation (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5195438/) that captures some of their history.

The film also follows the 2015 world indoor lacrosse championships. this was the first international tournament played on Iroquois land. Al Gore and Jim Brown (the latter having played lacrosse at college) both attended to watch the finals and dine with all the players.

The lacrosse community are behind their inclusion.
Also, have you ever tried to do any serious in C++ development work under Windows? Downloading 10 gigabytes of SDK just to run the compiler is not fun.

Also, most if not all compilers (GCC is a number 1 offender here) are much slower than Linux or macOS under Windows. It all depends on what you do, what kind of user you are and what kind of job you are trying to do. No one uses something worse on purpose, so there sure must be reasons why people still say installing Linux is worth it. WSL is good for those who would have run Linux in a VM anyway, but if you need Linux or if you're just used to it, it's still not enough.

Theoretical Physicists Say 90% Chance of Societal Collapse Within Decades
Really much of the "consumerism" is a fundamental of civilization and complexity - specialization yields benefits. Production is geared to what they are "best" at economically for better yields. Consumption still occurs even when DYIed paired with production. It may even be more wasteful ironically. To go a bit anti-Nilhist meaning is what you make it - one can reasonably find both labor and consumption to fufill requirements meaningless.
Even if that's true, if everyone is going to be learning online now then this will be a moot point.
> You're not tied up to your work, otherwise you're SOL as far as healthcare etc. goes.

I have a dream that someday the "workplace <-> health insurance" link will be broken in the US. For a few years I thought we might have had a chance, but it seems to have become a back-burner issue again.

The thing that is most maddening about employer-sponsored health insurance is the people who have it don't realize how big of a gulf there is between what is affordable for them vs others in terms of health care.

I have friends with good employer health insurance that go to the doctor over every little cough and sniffle and funny rash.

I have decent health insurance, but it costs enough and has a high enough deductible that every potential trip to the doctor is prefaced with "Is this an issue worth $100?" That's a pretty high bar to clear. Usually you go to the doctor and the answer is "well just wait and see if it goes away." That's not $100 worth of advice.

And if it's after hours, you're looking at closer to $500 minimum. I can't count the number of times my wife and I have debated "Is this bleeding bad enough for a $500 bill?" when one of the kids does something dumb and gets hurt.

It looks like the FED figured out how to conquer deflation and showed that it would do whatever it takes to defeat it. The amount of money printing earlier was a demonstration. In a sense they are fighting the last war. 2008 was all about deflation.

Inflation could help in some ways because the economy is over leveraged and inflation is a transfer from lenders to borrowers. I recently refinanced my mortgage and would really not want to be on the other side of that transaction.

On the other hand the government is spending money without even a thought of how to pay for anything, deficits are huge and the only reason it all works is because interest rates are low. Higher rates due to inflation could stop this.

Historically governments tend to choose inflation over deflation.

Interest rates rising due to inflation could stop the government from spending without constraint, but then again government is 35% of GDP(in the US), so perhaps consumer choice making a greater impact on an economy might be ok.
While it does seem useful, I’d be curious of the security implications; does wearing such a thing on your wrist make it easy for others to scan your credentials? I’m not incredibly familiar with NFC chips, but they do seem to have a much shorter range than most regular RFID chips, which seems like it might help. However all anyone would have to do is embed a reader under/in the table you sit at (say, at work or at your local coffee shop). Maybe we can keep the circuit hidden in a faraday cage, such as another (modded) microSD card slot, and just pop out the chip when needed.

You seem to have struck a loop, you are asking that the correction "Correction: That should say it's your opinion" should be "In my opinion, you should say it's your opinion".

WSL 2 is pretty decent honestly.

I've been using WSL 1 + Docker for full time web development since early 2018 on Windows 10 Pro.

Upgraded to WSL 2 when it hit the stable release and it works quite well. The only thing that sucks is mount performance for files outside of WSL 2's file system but if your source code is inside of WSL 2's file system it's very solid.

This is with ~$850 worth of 6 year old hardware too (i5 3.2ghz, 16gb of RAM, 1st generation SSD, etc.). I never bothered to upgrade because everything I do around Flask / Phoenix / Rails / Node development + running Docker / VMs + etc. works great. I do video editing too.

If anyone is curious what it's like, I made a video where I went over all of the tools I use on Windows and WSL 2 to have an acceptable dev environment for Linux based development https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/a-linux-dev-environment-on-wi....

It covers both the Windows tools and how I have everything configured on the WSL 2 side of things (tmux, terminal Vim, etc.).

We still did feature work and regular stuff too.

A lot of people, clubs and businesses publish their content on Facebooks and Instagrams because those platforms are better for getting your content out to your followers and more people. They are being rational.

Where's the non-proprietory decentralized platform that lets me reach as many people as I can on Facebook? There isn't one.

Why aren't the social functionality of identity / friends / followers / newsfeed / etc. built into browsers in a standardized way?

Facebook is 16 years old. That was a lot of time to figure out an alternative solution, but all we have are experimental projects that rely on adoption that they don't have to be useful.

You can possibly use the modem itself for monitoring for notifications, even if the main SoC sleeps. And wake the main SoC up from the modem. It would only work over mobile data though.
