What a wonderful point.

Guerilla warfare is asymmetric warfare fought by a small minority against a more powerful enemy. It typically emerges in situations like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan where you have a large, technologically advanced invading force that you are resisting. In the United States, there is very low risk of an exogenous actor occupying US soil, so we don't really have to worry about that.

Rather, we have to worry about our own government, and our best option is to take full advantage of our democratic system to head tyranny off at the pass.

Lebanon was a Civil War in the context of a failed state. The state no longer had a monopoly on the use of violence. A more recent analogy you could draw that would be more apropos would perhaps be Mexico where large swathes of the country are outside of state control, and rather in the hands of transnational criminal organizations.

I would again, argue that we should worry about preventing our country from becoming a failed state. The effort of preparing for the worst case scenario could perhaps be better spent through political engagement and activism to ensure that our country does not reach the point of being a failed state.

As you see right now, the current presidential administration is in the process of attempting a coup. It is not the lone citizen with an AR-15 that has prevented it. It is our institutions. What stands between the current administration staying in office for the next four years in full defiance of the voters as they would very much like to do? It's our institutions, including the whistleblowers, the free press, the judiciary, congress, state legislatures, and a military with a good head on its shoulders.

In fact, I have hundreds of rounds of 7.62x39 in my garage and a few thousand of 9mm. But, I have it because it's cheap in bulk, not because I have any aspirations to shoot another human being in any conceivable scenario. I believe in the strong institutions of my country, rather than my ability to murder my fellow Americans.

I bear no ill will, however, towards those who choose to 'trust in Allah, but tie up your camel.' I only ask that they consider giving their time to mending the patchwork of our society rather than simply preparing for when it rips.
The thing is, if you have lots of takers for dollars for 80 cents, that doesn't tell you very much about how many takers you'll have for dollars for $1.04.

If you charge too much for food delivery, you won't have very many customers. How much is too much, and does it leave you a profit is the big question.

Depends on the exercise of course, that's 80 minutes of walking.
Wait, you think https://mail.google.com/mail/mu, the mobile web version aka "superpudu" is slow? Can you tell me your device? It paints itself in only 400ms on my iphone. I actually prefer it over the app because it's so fast.

I understand you can restore from backups, but this doesn't seem simple to me - especially when you deal with situations where there's more than just one person deploying to production.

In comparison, my rollbacks are performed the same way rollouts/rollforwards are - by editing a single line in Git (ie. changing the OCI image string) and running `kubecfg update`. No need to access backups, no need for special procedures.
Everyone is a little different. So I'm not going to tell you what works for you.

For me... cycling works wonders. I burn calories twice as fast as walking and so long as I focus on good post-workout foods I avoid the trap of undoing all the good that I just did. Eating proteins and fats after a workout fills me up and lets my body repair torn muscle tissue.
The lack of RAMDACs in new GPUs is a real problem. The nicest DP-VGA adapters I can find need to be imported from Germany and even they top out at around 200 MHz pixel clocks before there are sync drops. When the blanking time is factored in, 1600x1200 at 75 Hz is unstable. Very disappointing when I have a P1130 (rebranded G520, 1200 TVL).
I use the spatial audio feature on AirPods while watching on an iPad. You move your head slightly more than you might expect for that field of view, and the effect keeps the audio oriented to the characters or action on screen. It feels like you're listening to sound coming from the device instead of in your head. Big movements, like turning your head 90 degrees, or quickly moving to another couch seat, break the immersion.

I assume the same feature on any competing product would feel similar.

I would venture to guess, most people struggling with weight, aren't putting 20minutes of running in. That's at least a couple miles.
Admittedly I haven't read tons of scientific research on this topic, but whenever the topic of diet/exercise comes up, I often find the way the question is researched to be lacking.

The article mentioned the participants could exercise however they wanted and "many chose to walk". I don't understand why walking is considered exercise. I understand it burns more calories than sitting still, but it doesn't elevate your heart rate nor push your muscles to grow/develop in any real way, and it feels like trying to "cheat" your way into exercise.

Also, this bit was really interesting to me: "Those burning about 3,000 calories a week showed changes now in their bodies’ levels of leptin, an appetite hormone that can reduce appetite. These alterations suggested that exercise had increased the exercisers’ sensitivity to the hormone, enabling them to better regulate their desire to eat." I would bet that those who burned the most amount of calories weren't just walking farther than the others, but instead their choice of exercise was just more intense.

I've always heard that running isn't a great way to lose weight because it just makes you want to eat more, but that hasn't been my experience. After running somewhere between 3.5-5 miles, my appetite is gone for at least a few hours after the run. I have no desire to snack, and while I might eat slightly more at dinner, the overall calories for my day don't change too significantly.

TLDR: after the revolution will have come and gone, you still won't be in charge.

Regime changes, whether forced by outside circumstances or from within a single society, just change one group of elites with another while the middle and lower classes stay mostly the same. Pareto (the originator of this theorem) thinks this is a basic conclusion from the fact that most people won't have the right combination of wealth, connections, intelligence, ambition and luck to take advantage of societal upheaval when opportunities present itself.
I havent read it, but reading Gate's blurb, calling Roger Federer (A guy who has dedicated all his life to one specific sport) a generalist told me everything I wanted to know about the book, a Malcom-Gladwellian work.
Listen, CA is a state of big numbers - big deficits and big surplus's (Surplus of $9B in 2018, $7B in 2019). It's a function of being the 5th largest economy of the world Gross State Produce ($3.2 Trillion) larger than India and the UK. It has raised taxes, but mostly in a progressive way targeted at high income earners. At lot of marginal tax revenue comes from IPOs and equity sales. It has intrinsic problems and some pretty bad policies that linger to this day (impacts from prop 13 for example). It's still the best state to live in, has great opportunity for many people and tries to implement long term policies benefitting is citizens and is a global leader.

It's already about tracking/storing/sharing PII; not about your technical implementation of that.

Different use cases, mostly. The XM4s are over ear and have much better sound, but they're overkill for work (my workplace is fairly quiet, at least these days). The Jabras are a better fit for that. The XM4s were a bit of an impulse buy when I needed good ANC for my frequent Zoom calls while sharing an apartment with noisy family.

That's not the only defense, this is example #25360432 showing how necessary labor unions are.
I agree it is well-written overall and should have been clearer about that; in my defense, my conclusion was simply that an editor would cut the intro.

The intro is both highly visible, and, because of how writing and thinking work, it's also the spot where you're either collecting your thoughts or trying to hook the reader.

If you don't have an editor and you're done with your first draft, try deleting your first few paragraphs. It's often a simple way to vastly improve a piece.

Because it does track people. Cloudflare tracks people. Cloudflare excludes people. It is it's very purpose for existing as you well know. These feel good marketing campaigns and services you do are just to centralize more of the internet into cloudflare and that's a bad thing.
When I was working in a stack like this I found people spending outstanding amounts of time not actually working to improve the stability/performance of the application. The reason you triggered that memory was "GKE, Prometheus, Sysdig, Grafana, ELK" - that's exactly what we were dealing with. The support infrastructure/compute needs for it far exceeded the 20-30 hosts that actually needed to be there to operate the application.

We either were using someone else's prebuilt orchestration for something like ELK (insecure, needs constant auditing to be OK) or rolling it ourselves (very expensive in engineer time). None of it was ever working 100% and that was because we were jumping at software packages no one had really taken the time to fully understand. The mentality was "it's containerized!" which many on my team took to mean "we don't need to really grok it, it's in a container!" That burnt us, both on our TIG and ELK stacks. I left that job because it became putting out dumb fires that were not business-justifiable.

All-in-all I'm not saying what anyone is doing is wrong, I'm just saying that if you're going for an orchestrated environment like this you have to have a very mature team. You have to really care about learning these services well, and you have to be careful to not let your own architecture take your time away from solving real problems for the business.

The team I was on did not have that maturity outside of a couple bitter/broken ops guys who didn't deserve what the team had done to them while buzz-word driven leadership gutted their very-proven and stable VMWare infra into a total cluster-f K8s setup because "that's what we're suppose to do in 2018! That's what the new engineers want to work in!"

> the "operating system" has moved up a stack

Splitting hairs: The OS is still the same. The "stack" is newly imposed abstraction on-top of already established paradigms where we are trying to abstract ourselves away from the OS. It's distributed compute more than it is the "OS moving up a stack".

Edit: Ha I think you may have edited your comment with the Coinbase article. That article is actually what I point people to when explaining that K8s isn't some golden bullet, I personally think Coinbase is a great compromise in leveraging containers without going off of the rails (as they write about, ex: talking about the need for dedicated "compute" teams etc).

The distributed version control systems you're talking about (Bazaar, Mercurial, and Git) all come out within a few weeks of each other in 2005. The chaining hash system for VCSes is either new or obscure before these systems adopt them: the major prior systems like RCS, CVS, and SVN instead rely on a central database with more-or-less sequential revision numbers.
Centos is going to be a beta for the next point release. Fedora is like next major version but I’m not sure if they actually fork Fedora to get that or if they just use it to preview the technology.
yes. and that isn't catchy enough :)
I think the idea is, when you argue from first principles, you are implicitly assuming that you know all of the relevant first principles. Since you're human and imperfect, there is always a chance that you don't. How to know?

Well, empirically, check whether the conclusions you get, seem to hold up to reality. The author's experience was that taking investment $$ was necessary (or at least often useful) in a startup, so this put him on the lookout for what missing first principle would explain this.

It doesn't mean axiomatic logic isn't useful, it means that just because the logic seems sound, doesn't mean the conclusion is reliable, because there could be missing axioms (in this case, that profitability is the objective of a company, when cash flow is a more fundamental fact and profit is often either present or not depending on how you do the accounting).
I wonder if it's a case of Conway's Law at play. Google is a big company and there are multiple pieces involved in GCP and so in the end the interface between those pieces is inefficient and slow. They've shipped the org chart.
I was running 3x 12 drive vdevs in raidz2 and write performance was terrible. We moved some data to a different machine and rebuilt as 18 mirrors. This was a long time ago (as in running on Solaris long time ago), so maybe things are better now.
if you wanna lose weight and love the idea of data:

- Start weighing yourself daily (once a day -- smart scale helps, but a notepad to track will work). You start here to build the habit.

Do this for a 3 weeks just to understand how much your weight will fluctuate +/-. On any given day I seem to fluctuate 2 lbs or so. You will be similar. if you only weigh yourself once a week you might get encouraged/discouraged while in one of these micro-cycles.

- Then after 3 weeks, calculate your macros -- and then understand what in your 'normal' diet is throwing your macros out of wack. If you eat labeled food, look at the labels. If you eat more whole foods, google around for some data. It sounds hard, but you'll build an intuition quick.

For my partner and I, we both needed MORE protein. We weren't getting enough. I ate MORE meat, and they added a pea protein smoothie (which sounds lame but they are really good.) My partner started to eat less nuts as well, because they were getting too much fats.

- Control for your macros with your normal diet.

- Eat whatever you want in your macros, balance yourself by watching the scale. if your macros are off, you will trend up for about 4 days in a row. Anything less in my experience is "expected". I can reverse 3 days of small weight gains (3-5 lbs) in about 1-2 days.

Once my partner mastered this, they eat 1 cookie and ice cream every night, guilt-free, to hit their sweet tooth, and we have combined lost close to 40lbs by doing this.

- You can work out to firm up, but depending on how much you wanna lose, diet alone could be enough.
But surely if you depend on those packages, you can maybe track (or just collect) their versions, then get the same versions in another package manager (possibly via pinning).

Though my experience with package manager is that dependency management is hell (rife with potential conflicts), so I do see the problem a bit better.

Still, it shouldn't take that long to fix? Like a few days of sprint to setup Nix or something like that?
Maybe it's because US folks are used to jusrisdiction mostly using a "letter of the law" approach which invites loophole seeking and exploitation, while EU jusrisdictions use a "spirit of the law" approach. Sounds like this guy's defense is based on missing that cultural difference, at least.

While I do believe in decentralization and am an advocate for it, I don't think it works well in the context of consumer rights that we are discussing. Different regulatory laws at different levels and in different states will just create a hassle for both the consumer and the corporate.

Democracy is about balancing the needs of everyone, and that includes the corporate too. Regulatory bodies should have the necessary independence to hold regular discussions with the stakeholders (the executive, the corporates and the people) so that appropriate regulations can be drafted and more importantly fairly enforced.

It is in the nature of corporate to vie for power with the sovereign and thus in a democracy it is very much necessary to ensure that the corporate never gain gain an upper hand to do so. Regulations can definitely help with this. But ultimately it all about finding the right balance as hurting the corporates too is not the aim and in the best interest of a nation.

> Red Hat bought CentOS, presumably with real $$$,

if I remember right technically centos didn't really exist as an entity that could be bought, Red Hat just hired all the developers (there were only ever 3-4 people working on centos). I would guess they are now working on Centos Streams, or have moved on to other things entirely. Its not like Centos has been killed off either, so it didn't cost a lot and this wont really save anything, it's "just" a change of focus.

Microsoft buying ubuntu would be an interesting (and not impossible) move though.

All of the examples you give are slippery slope grey zones between someone's right to express their views and something that some deem harmful to society. This is a centuries-old debate and not one that can be settled quickly and easily.

As a Jew who lost some family in the Holocaust, and whose father and his parents barely got out of eastern Europe in time, I absolutely despise those who just flatly deny historical truths like the number of people tortured and killed by the Nazis. But I'm very mixed about silencing them. Sometimes silencing people has a way of amplifying their voices ever more.

But I also despise Big Tech and Big Media for obviously pushing people to vote against Trump. There's plenty of evidence of this, ranging from suppressing and distorting his speeches to literally suppressing any good news during his tenure.

And by the way, Facebook and Youtube host thousands of Muslim "scholars" who deny or belittle the Holocaust, who accuse Jews of nasty behavior, etc. They are not suppressed or silenced. However, watchdogs like MEMRI and PalWatch that expose these louts are frequently suppressed, their material removed as "hate speech", ironically. Why? Because a cancel mob is constantly trying to take them down, for being supposedly islamophobic which is a trigger word. These same mobs seem to have no problem with the widespread belief across the Muslim world that the Holocaust was a hoax, that 9/11 was perpetrated by Mossad, and similar conspiracy theories.

The same entities that suppress anti-vaxers also suppressed most information about hcq. Why? Because Trump advocated it. Even a group of medical doctors, who have treated thousands of patients with hcq and seen positive results versus covid19, were silenced and their video taken down from Youtube and other mainstream outlets.

Freedom of speech is a fragile thing, easily broken. It's too bad so few young people have studied Voltaire and others who originated the concept that "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will give my life for your right to say it."
I mean, is this controversial? The problem for a budget conscious home user is: where do you back up to? Doing a complete backup to a remote storage provider isn't a practical option for many users, which leaves the affordable options being to only back up critical data and/or use something like a big USB external drive.

Neither of these options are great, so in reality many people end up relying on RAID or mirroring to provide some measure of redundancy regardless of whether or not it's a good idea.
This is clearly a rude, and incorrect characterization of my post and position. If, Ubi was a tool of the Federal reserve, obviously the Ubi produced would be held in check to the point before which it negatively affected inflation.
