It's funny. I was discussing looking into packaging kubernetes with another Arch developer yesterday, and noticed this discussion today.

I'm the package maintainer for go and maintain a number of go packages in Arch Linux, along with writing the current guidelines and looking into packaging strategies for golang.

I'll offer a more cynic view then the one presented: golang is not a mature packaging ecosystem.

So 1) is partially correct; go just sucks from a packaging perspective. Not really the issue at kubernetes.

We can probably package up kubernetes within the next hour and drop it into `[community]` as Arch has less structure and QA around the packaging process. However our largest hurdle is that we package the latest version. Is kubernetes going to work properly on go version `1.15.3`. By experience container software brings out the worst of the go runtime and any changes to the syscall, goroutine or memory management is a cause of concern.

The other hurdle is the cadence of when kubernetes decides to support which container runtime. Docker is wonkey at best, but I haven't seen a lot of details on cri-o nor containerd.

So frankly our problems are not really related to packaging, but the challenges of providing recent versions of packages and making sure they work.
Not only were the supply chains different but the US and USSR also had very different design and procurement philosophies that tied back to military doctrine. There's an interesting summary on Reddit related to Soviet aviation that outlines some of the differences. [1]

This seems to be an example of defense strategy driving economics. In the US we tend to think of market forces driving defense policy but in fact there's a feedback loop between defense technology and how societies organize themselves.

Around here words must not be structured in such a way that it might elicit some residual feelings of joy. When detected they must be thoroughly eradicated.

Still, some individuals endure the risk of ostracization by carefully camouflaging such payloads to avoid detection. Often they still fail, as the detection systems become more fit through continuous training data and unsupervised learning.
The small trucks were killed by fuel efficiency standards. Bigger trucks have lower MPG targets, so small trucks died.

Ford did make a 2000 era electric Ranger though. Perhaps success of an electric f-150 will enable electric trucks in general, and smaller trucks again.

I remember when Tesla issued that paid software update to make your car accelerate 0-100 a 0.1 seconds faster. If the hardware is there unchanged, why should the software update be a paid upgrade? It means the software was not good to begin with. Seems to me Tesla is trying to model a software development business, but they forget they're in the hardware business

> Attack submarines are much smaller than missile subs. I don't understand exactly why this is

SLBM are big, a Trident II is 13.6m long and 2.11m wide[0] and Ohios need to fit them straight up plus the hull, so we're talking 14m moulded depth or so (excluding the sail), and a pretty similar beam, at which point… you just have a big sub, because it can't exactly be a ball: you need to fit 12 Tridents in a row, plus the reactor, engine, crew compartments, passages for the crew to move around, torpedo tubes, and enough stores to last for literally months.

Attack subs can have vertically mounted cruise missiles but those are puny compared to an SLBM, a Tomahawk is 6.25m long with booster[1]: an Ohio-class carries 24 Tridents in SSBN configuration, if converted to SSGN it carries 154 tomahawks.

Los Angeles carries 37, Seawolf carries 50 (and on both this competes with torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, on an Ohio you get 24 tridents or 154 tomahawks plus a dozen torpedoes or anti-ship missiles).

[0] and Typhoon's SLBMs were even larger at 16.1m by 2.4

I think its absurd to me how this is somehow seen as a novel thing. You say something awful in kindergarden, you will be suspended. You try and write something awful in an op ed to the local paper, and it won’t ever get published. You call in to a radio station and say something awful, and you are taken off the air.

I don’t see why a private company with a website is any different than the above situations that no one bats an eye about. No one is entitled to grab any available microphone and say something awful. The only privilege you have is that the government shouldn’t go after you for this. Not that you shouldn’t get the privately owned microphone removed from your hands. And the government is not throwing alex jones into a jail cell despite the hysteria.

In recent times, I've seen several news stories of widespread caste discrimination in Silicon Valley, but the standard of evidence by which this is claimed seems to be poor. It's basically asking people who claim they've been hurt or discriminated against. The only actual legal case in all these stories is the one against Cisco, and that's still in progress. Of course there will be casteists among the Indians in the Bay Area (India has enormous numbers of them). But it's not clear they have any ability to inflict discrimination on the lower castes.

If they do, I haven't seen evidence of it. Stories claim that lower-caste employees have had their Indian upper caste managers discriminate, hurt their careers and even sexually harrass them, but HR departments say they can't do anything because caste is not a protected category.

I work in Silicon Valley, and have a hard time with this picture of the culture and HR departments in the area.

I disagree with you in that it doesn't matter what term is worse. Calling somebody lazy or crazy is something fundamentally different than calling somebody a fascist, nazi or murderer. Or disguised dead threats like Roep dan pang.

One of the thing that the Indian government can do to reduce this issue is to ban caste related surnames. Like you can literally tell the caste of a person from their surname. Its insane that no ruling part had the guts to ban that.

A large parts of population in South Indian states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala no longer have surnames that are tied to the caste. Mostly because of the people deciding to do that by themselves. But the issue is very very bad in Northern states which is where the majority of the population lives.
Yes, you're absolutely right.
Mises doesn’t say that they can’t produce things of value or innovate technologically. Mises says that what they produce is not going to be what consumers want as much as things they would have chosen themselves, and more importantly that price controls prevent the signaling that allows them to correctly allocate capital. The eventual collapse of the USSR is the evidence for this.

A similar sort of thing exist at most companies in one form or another. For example, at my company some people's opinions are valued more than others. People base their evaluation of others on communal opinion which can contain discriminatory trends. It produces a strata within the organization whether that opinion comes from a last name or heritage, or some other trait like sex, accent, philosophy, etc.
How is the previous statement incorrect?
Perhaps no one likes changing. But I bet, especially in mid-northern latitudes, that a lot of people really don't like having to choose between:

- sending kids to school, driving, and doing outdoor work in winter pitch black and

- having the sun streaming through windows at 4am in the summer at the cost of an hour of long summer evening

even less appealing.

Regarding the US, I’m currently reading the book called Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. It’s been an eye-opener to the US caste system.
Bitcoin is clearly not appropriate for "savings", just look at the realised volatility. It may become appropriate in the future, but when that happens the "put on financial system" will be realised, i.e. the convexity proposition will be gone. In fact if "Bitcoin is now appropriate for savings" in the sense that The Economist and other mainstream is not ashamed to write about it and central banks have Bitcoin holdings next to their gold holdings then that precisely means that the convex bet has paid off :)

I used to hold Bitcoin at various times in the past, and I would absolutely not recommend Bitcoin to anyone unless they truly can stomach total loss on the "investment". This means appropriate position sizing, alignment with current personal financial situation and personal plans/goals/objectives. And don't even think about leverage here.
> Where is the right place to draw the line between your state's civic values, and respect for traditions that are not strictly yours?

I advocate we draw the line where people are harmed. In other cases it may not be as clear, but in this one it is. There is no real question whether a caste system harms people, and as a concept it is not compatible with humanist values.

I currently start my working day at 10, but I'd prefer it a bit later. I notice I start getting really productive around 16-17 - when all the early birds stop working (which also means less interruptions and meetings)

It’s similar in PHP and Java: you use the reverse domain name as a namespace.
“Dominant organisations are prone to stumble when the new technology requires a new organisational structure. An innovation might be radical but, if it fits the structure that already existed, an incumbent firm has a good chance of carrying its lead from the old world to the new.” -- An important post if you want to understand why it’s so hard for medium to big size companies to change. The way the organization is structured will often define the product produced. This idea is critical to keep in mind, as we will need to change and adjust the way our teams are structured to stay ahead of the market. I've seen very few people who can act on it.
Ehh I don't think it's any more ambiguous than using a 12 hour clock which people seem perfectly capable of and the problem with available hours is already solved with calendars and other lookups.

I'd imagine days would just start at different hours, it's pretty ambiguous right now anyway for many applications such as for example the way shifts are calculated.
“ The question then is whether 7 tx/sec really is sufficient to support broad global adoption, even if it's just for savings. Dollars and physical gold have no such limits.”

Yes they do, it takes even longer to move physical dollars or gold around and depending on where and who you are sending them too it might be impossible.

Sure in some mainstream cases you can send the digital derivative of gold and dollars to someone but those aren’t the actual asset just a representation issued by a centralized entity or a collection of them. Visas payment network isn’t moving dollars it’s moving digital dollars. Same with gold etfs. Let’s see them try to seize bitcoin and stop transfers it’s much harder

You're claiming "even though Tesla's self driving might be better/safer than human driving today, and will in aggregate save lives over the present state, there's this other approach which could save even more lives!"

It's not certain that Waymo's approach will be better, especially at scale (and in cities other than Phoenix). We don't have that kind of data yet. And even if it is better, Tesla's approach is still a pareto improvement over now. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Cash is a bad savings vehicle not because its based on trust, but because they keep printing more of it and it already reached price maturity in terms of market cap (its saturated in how many people keep wealth in it, especially as an inflationary asset).

Bitcoin has been a very good savings vehicle over the past 12 years in terms of long term moving average. Like social networks such as facebook, gold, etc, it has network value and these tend to be hard to break when at scale (there are many forks and all are worth nothing). Bitcoin is now (aside from ETF's and 401k's) the single most held liquid tradable asset on earth. More people own it than stock in Apple (not in ETF or 401k form).

You think the gold MC is based on utility? There is not a 9 trillion electronic plating and jewelry market. Jewelry is also by extension speculation on the metal. 95% of golds market cap is through the same value social network that gives bitcoin value. Except I've owned physical gold and its a pain in the ass for so many reasons. Bitcoin is a better store of wealth. Its something that is useful and limited to many including myself and has reached the beginnings of mass adoption. It has value.

So you can continue to call it a beanie baby but that old phrase has been said since 2011. How long can you shake the cane at the sky? Even JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs have come around in addition to Paypal and the others. The entire legacy financial system is adopting at this point.

I certainly do not fit the picture you paint. I'm not a Trump supporter, nor do I adhere to any of the silly theories you suggest. I believe wholeheartedly in robust rights, recognition, and respect for marginalized groups. I believe no person is illegal. I have been out in the streets of Portland joining BIPOC leadership in calling for abolition of police and prisons many dozens of the past 150 nights.

Distrust of the FBI doesn't stem from Trump-support and is not related to "refusal to accept whole classes of humans"; it chiefly stems from the fact that it's a historically racist and xenophobic institution that threw itself headlong into trying to violently disrupt civil rights activism, and has never done any serious internal healing since.

The deep, lasting, institutional corruption of the two major political parties is based on fact and observation, including the fact pattern I have laid out in the comment to which you responded, which again, to my knowledge, is not in dispute. Whether or not it amounts to another in a long line of actual instances of self-enrichment at the public's expense is something that I do not trust (and I don't think any reasonable observer can trust) the FBI to investigate and conclude on its own.

16 hours for a mouse is probably equivalent to fasting multiple days for humans.
Asians are regularly targeted by police. Brown skinned Indians often look arab and are subject to the same racial profilings. One need only look at history (hello bellingham riots) to see rampant violence against asians that typically goes ignored due to asian cultural pragmatism.
That's basically what immigration restrictions do. Only it is done through restricting the number of people from any one area rather than require complete cultural whitewashing.
I was born in India, am of Indian Brahmin (i.e. the "top" caste) blood, and all I can say is this:

The caste system is a disgrace to India and I fully condemn it as an Indian. I hope this kind of shit can be abolished not only in Silicon Valley but in India as well.
This comes across as a moral relativism argument.

Not all morality is relative to culture, some things are bad/wrong independent of cultural context.

I wrote about this in more depth here (specifically 'on the ethics of burning children'): https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/13/zoom-in-china.html
Almost all of the major surnames can be linked to the caste. Nowadays many people of all the castes have started using caste neutral surnames. Banning the use of any caste related surnames is too much I guess. But people should be allowed to use any surnames.

Thanks for the recommendation. That's going on my reading list.
This is a no-brainer as cast discrimination is not allowed in India either.

There is also a rich double standard in the US. Crazy practices from non-white countries are tolerated by “woke” liberals.

Yet if you are from a white country you are expected to follow every American cultural norm and etiquette to the letter.

I see this in international cooperation. E.g work happening across many countries. Americans will often insist on making American sensibilities universal disregarding the that what may be regarded as rude in America is not necessarily rude or inappropriate elsewhere.

I see the same with American companies operating in my native Norway often insisting on practices that run counter to local culture and sensitivities. But somehow because we are white we are supposed to have the same values as Americans because Americans have racialized culture.

> While providing comparable development experience / ease of use.

I would argue with that.

Part of my job is writing a lot of PHP currently (Hack actually, but they are very similar). Sometimes it's OK, but sometimes early PHP design decision to make code always appear working correctly and avoid raising user-visible errors really make me wish I was coding in another language. One of latest examples: when converting string to floating point number, sometimes you get 0.0 in case of parsing error, sometimes part of string is ignored.
This! Mice are not quite the same as humans.
You should have learnt by now to not ask for evidence for virtue signalling contest stories. Just accept the narrative unquestioningly and move on.

We are living in a brave new post-Truth world.

Indians go against the narrative of systemic racism in the US , so it is only time that the left came after them.

Once again, instead of attacking me or downvoting, ask yourself logically: where is the evidence for this?

I am not saying it does not exist. All I am asking for is some data of large scale caste discrimination not anecdotes.

We can find anecdotes for discrimination by every permutation of labels.
