One would assume it was the things listed in the article they linked?

Which, it's from March, so a lot of the issues they cited were from early on in the rollout where supply was low, demand was high, and a lot of governments were still getting the kinks worked out. That said, some of the effects cited in the article may still apply. For example,

> Another barrier to getting vaccinated is difficulty in registering for appointments online. Applicants often have to navigate labyrinthine portal systems and fill out multiple pages of documentation before appointments fill up, so it becomes a race for who can load and complete the forms the fastest.

> Getting to vaccination sites can also be a challenge. They are not always near public transit, and not everyone has access to a car.

As someone who spent many years living without a car in the USA, I can personally attest that, "available at every major drug store in America," does not mean the same thing as, "readily accessible." Suburban sprawl doesn't care who won the last election.

The step from ”I probably won’t get vaccinated because I’m worried about side effects” to “the US government is using the vaccine campaign to microchip people” is… absolutely bloody enormous. Yet a majority of those who reject vaccines think the latter statement is true??

This is what surprises me about the US (if it’s true - I’d like to see more numbers). Not that there is a chunk of sceptics but a chunk of lunatics. Even if you account for troll responses you wouldn’t expect that kind of number. If just one in ten that answered yes actually mean it - that’s still terrifying.
Writing to /tmp is great if your file is loaded entirely in memory. Not all programs do that for a variety of reasons. Like I said, it's the tons of edge cases that make "constantly save" problematic and far from a trivial feature.

Too late.
Hang on a moment. Donald Trump has been telling people to get vaccinated both before and after he left office. Hell, endless column inches were spilled by respected publications about how early approval of the vaccines would be an evil conspiracy by Trump to inject the public with untested vaccines. Why do you think he told people not to get vaccinated? The only people I've found he opposes Covid vaccines for is children, and honestly that's well within the range of mainstream opinion despite the media hand-wringing over it; only some countries are planning on mass vaccination of children, and the evidence for the benefits to them outweighing the risks is iffy.
It's a brilliant book, whether or not you agree with its conclusion (I go back and forth, but am sympathetic to his argument). Even if he is completely wrong, exploring his model of cognition and consciousness provides the reader with a different way of seeing and thinking about the world, other people, and one's relationship to them. It's also richly textured and beautifully written.
I disagree. The shift would be towards content producers offering tiers of service and content, for instance a free tier to draw people in and a paid service with perks & more content.

A few companies do this already.

There could also be a change in the advertising model, for instance, online newspapers could sell and host ads on their own servers based on the news content of the article instead of by targeting users with tracking cookies. If you're reading an article about a chef you may be interested in cookware, after all.
You confuse the "opinion of experts" with the scientific process.

A hypothesis is just a statement to be tested against reality. We don't automatically have to assume it is true. It is literally someones untested opinion.

All that matters in science is the truth about the underlying reality, i.e. the experiments that verify the hypothesis.

You are angry that people aren't somehow placing this hypothesis on a pedestal by mere appeal to authority. But science doesn't work like that, that's academia.

Very good point.

Since you made a comparison to prediction markets, let's focus on earnings release dates. Earnings release is an event that's known to happen on a certain date in the future, just like some political election (only few companies don't disclose their future earnings dates in advance, Berkshire Hathaway is amongst them).

There are plenty of studies researching option prices and the stock moves post earnings release, this is just one of them: https://www.stern.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/assets/documen...

The conclusion of that particular study is that option prices prior to the earnings release date are helpful for learning about the future stock price volatility.

I have a hard time caring about unvaccinated adults dying because they chose to refuse the Covid vaccine. It's tough on the people who love them and tough on the medical personnel who care for them, but there's nothing I can do about it. I have family who won't get vaccinated and I've told them I'm not coming to their funeral because I need to walk away and set a boundary for my own sanity.

A lot of marijuana smokers like to pretend weed smoke is somehow less harmful than any other smoke. It's still CO whether it comes from the tobacco or hemp plant. It's still bad and creates a tar residue in your lungs. Any time I bring that up, somehow I become anti-pot even though it's a genuine concern.

Edit: Carbon Monoxide, not Carbon Dioxide. And some additions since this is a tad controversial.

Here is one source - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3340105/

Marijuana inhaled is bad for your body. End of story. Let's not pretend like it's some panacea that the government doesn't want us to know about. It shouldn't be illegal, but a lot of people on here lie to themselves that somehow the harmful effects of CO aren't bad just because it's marijuana. I feel like there is some major cognitive dissonance among pot smokers equivalent to religious people that get upset when you say there is no god.

I don’t think you understand those charts on the CDC website. Did you notice that the bars for, eg, fully vaccinated add up to 100 across all groups? Did you look at the table?
An entire generation has grown up since then. I think WMDs 17yr ago is a lot less less influential in terms of media distrust than a year ago when they were proclaiming there was no/negligible chance of a lab leak and then spent early 2021 trying to simultaneously walk that back with the weakest possible admission that mistakes were made and simultaneously making an equally strong claim that the vaccine is effective and safe. Frankly I'm surprised that the percentage of the population who isn't vaccinated is as low as it is.

Heh, as someone who came very close to doing this (i.e. using k8s for a LAMP-stack type app at a startup), it's not just "shiny object syndrome" driving people to do this. Here's what our progression looked like:

1. Start with basic LAMP app in git that's manually deployed to an EC2 instance
2. Add in CI / CD + CodeDeploy
3. Create a staging environment
4. Dockerize local environment to keep dev environments in sync and onboard easier (really, this part's a gamechanger for a small company)
5. Ok so now we have Docker for local dev environments but stage and prod are managed separately. Can we just run our Docker containers in stage / production?

When I researched step 5, the options were basically k8s or Docker swarm but Docker swarm didn't seem battle tested (for prod). k8s was clearly a nightmare for a small team to maintain so we started looking into GKE / EKS -- but EKS was still in beta. Thus we punted. We've actually started using ECS for a newer project and I'd likely go that route for step 5 instead.

68% of adults is not what I would call almost all. That number has barely budged in months so it seems there is a good 30% of Americans who will not get vaccinated.

Yes, and the biggest proof of this is hospitals will soon impose the sanitary pass (from 1st August). If the pass was really about public health of the population, hospitals would be the last place to be restricted.
I don't think it's entitled at all.

Giving and receiving freely, without expecting anything in return, is built into human nature from before we were even human, and is still practiced everyday by many.

I read a good opinion on this here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/convincing-the-skepti...

There are a lot of factors that you need to take in account when talking about vaccine hesitant people. Some big ones:

* Risk: people that don't think they are at risk of catching covid are less likely to get the vaccine. Many people in rural areas don't interact with people as much, and likely feel like they are less likely to catch it. You can also see risk evaluation playing out in other countries that didn't have large early cases of Covid (like Japan), where the fall 2020 wave wasn't too bad, so people weren't as worried.

* Trust: There are many that seem to feel squelching discussion that dissents from the CDC guidance is the best way to convince the skeptics. Sadly, those people that are skeptical will see this as more of a reason not to trust the ruling class. Preventing discussion isn't how to fight this fight.

The problem is there are so many regulations that just about everybody breaks the law everyday.
> If you told me one in ten people thinks the vaccine is a microchip I wouldn't believe you

I would. I live out in the country and the people in my area believe some absolutely bonkers stuff.
I don’t think you can find a single community of minorities in America that hasn’t heard of the vaccine.
What country are you in (who is "the government" you're saying is mandating HPV vaccination?). In the U.S., the only mandates are at the state level, and only in Rhode Island, Virginia, and DC, aren't they?

Even if mandated, why wouldn't you want to prevent cervical cancer with such a simple intervention, and why shouldn't the manufacture be compensated for such a miracle?

There are good reasons to reach for macro libraries. They're rare, but they're out there. I make heavy use of boost::preprocessor in a C project and it was fundamentally enabling. I have occasionally cursed at it but never regretted it.

It is basically impossible to provide a "kind" development environment using deep macro trickery. The error messages you get from this kind of library are a major handicap. This failing is intrinsic to the landscape and not something you can really fix.

Historically, macro processors in major compilers were inconsistent, limited, and arbitrary, making heavy macro use frustrating, limited, non-portable. I think this is mostly historical now.

IMO people should prefer boost::preprocessor for purposes like this (even in pure C), since it is battle-tested and more polished than "little" metaprogramming libraries will likely ever be. (This is advice to possible users, and not a knock on the author. Props for exploring the space and building something useful.)
Other than bugs around bad connections causing hangs (the kubelet is less vulnerable to pathological failures in networking causing it to stall), nothing significant.

Kube is designed for nodes to have continuous connectivity to the control plane. If connectivity is disrupted and the machine restarts, none of the workloads will be restarted until connectivity is restored.

I.e. if you can have up to 10m of network disruption then at worst a restart / reboot will take 10m to restore the apps on that node.

Many other components (networking, storage, per node workers) will likely also have issues if they aren’t tested in those scenarios (i’ve seen some networking plugins hang or otherwise fail).

That said, there are lots of people successfully running clusters like this as long as worst case network disruption is bounded, and it’s a solvable problem for many of them.

I doubt we’ll see a significant investment in local resilience in Kubelet from the core project (because it’s a lot of work), but I do think eventually it might get addressed in the community (lots of OpenShift customers have asked for that behavior). The easier way today is run edge single node clusters, but then you have to invent new distribution and rollout models on top (ie gitops / custom controllers) instead of being able to reuse daemonsets.

We are experimenting in various ecosystem projects with patterns would let you map a daemonset on one cluster to smaller / distributed daemonsets on other clusters (which gets you local resilience).
My experience with the substance is similar to yours. I’ve started again occasionally and see that the experience differs depending on the strain. I do get paranoia that wears off; there were times where I’ve experience schizophrenia like symptoms; where reality seems off or my perception of it changes temporarily until it wears off. Hopefully I don’t have early onset of the disorder.

Regarding your friends, is it possible that the behavior you are seeing is when they are under the influence and not during sober?
I think the laser interlinks are proving more difficult than SpaceX anticipated. I had expected them much earlier in the deployment than now, and it seems they are currently only planning them for polar orbits.
Agreed. I find it reassuring in a weird way. I bought a toilet seat last year and got nothing but toilet seat ads for months. Because if you just bought a toilet seat you must need 10 more!? It surprises me they don't have a list you can at least cross things off...
Just keying in the password at boot is indeed more secure than using a TPM, when it comes to the threat of someone snatching your powered-off laptop.

But if you want full disk encryption for a server without the need to attend it in person to enter the password every time it restarts, you might feel the middling security a TPM provides is an improvement over not encrypting the disk at all.

Or if you issue a big fleet of laptops to forgetful users, and remote password reset is a must-have feature, the TPM is more secure than the user writing the password on a post-it note stuck to the laptop.

Or if you're making something like a TiVo where you want it to work without a password - while also locking down the device, even against the owner.

So TPMs are great if you're a big corporation!
Sure, I didn't mean to suggest there was anything fundamentally flawed about ntfs-3g, I've used it to basically universal success after the first year or two after it was released, just that it is FUSE, which means there's always going to be some overhead involved that wouldn't be present in an in-kernel driver (though they keep trimming away at how much that has to be).

https://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/changelog.html doesn't seem totally dead, though the github repo hasn't seen much since March (but I don't think "since March" is what you meant by "last few years").
> Remember, code is just a tool to achieve a goal, it is not THE goal itself.

Which is why I find it strange that we're hired as "software developers", not "problem solvers." But since we are, it pigeonholes the solutions, and with that code does become the goal. In most shops "I'm going to need a lathe and a mill" would never fly with management, even if that is what would actually provide the best solution. Once hired as a software developer, the business expects that you will find a software development solution.
Access in what sense? The vaccination program in the U.S is totally free, with no regard for insurance status or even immigration status. Vaccination locations in most urban areas are more than accessible enough given that many vaccination sites are located smack in the central parts of major cities, with public transport options available for reaching them the one or two times it would be necessary to go get vaccinated during a now months-long window of availability.

It's tiresome to see certain statements about black and Hispanic communities seem to generalize the assumption that these are groups almost entirely without agency or capacity for even minimal personal initiative on simple, inexpensive (by even the most basic standards) things. It's almost condescending, but presented in the name of fighting marginalization. An excusing of all behavior without even considering the possibility that members of a community might just be making a few poor choices of their own.
Their latencies are supposedly lower than the ocean cables - low enough that HFT is investigating.
https://old.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/itlrjc/starlink_l...

Their costs are moderately higher than existing broadband right now (if you aren't rural), but in news articles I read in past as they upgrade the satellites for more simultaneous connections the goal is to have a lot more subscribers at much lower costs.

Also, for remote areas of the world it would be a choice between this and nothing else.

Even if you were sharing the starlink dish with a few thousand other households to bring the cost down to affordable for your area, you'd still have an improvement over nothing.
> ... in all parliamentary systems I just vote for representatives/parties that push the opinion I want.

... on perhaps one or two hot-button issues. You won't find any "representative" which actually represents you on more than a few issues (at best), so voters have to prioritize—and then the winners go on to vote on their constituents' behalf on many other issues which weren't major talking points during the elections, in effect representing only themselves.

You're right that this isn't different from (almost) any other issue. It's a real problem for any issue that isn't right at the top of the priority list.

It is entirely possible that this is a misunderstanding of their true feelings or intents. To quote Kat Williams "Weed has a chemical in it called F*k it..."

Maybe when they use they are not having the same anxious feeling that the general public feels and they do not react to others who otherwise might be perceived as "more important" than them. This would appear to the person who typically views themselves as "more important" as arrogance or self importance...when in reality they are just mildly happy and don't care at that moment about the typical societal norms and ranking.

More than likely they are just going about their own business and not paying attention to how you are reacting to it. Every life has value...every person is equal.
If by "awesome" you mean barely middlebrow,"dentist-waiting-room reading material" then I agree.
I think it s because people like your father (and mine), expect faith to guide their opinion of a government. But that sounds very silly to me: you can explain it with reason rather than a faith/betrayal fairytale.

The government is made of imperfect employees like you and me, imbued by a mission to transform tax money into social guidance. At first, there were no mask and no knowledge, they chose to avoid a mask rush that would have led nowhere while inventing excuses to explain it, or nobody would follow. But as everyone they slowly learn and as factories start building the masks, they get easier to enforce. It might yet be another mistake, if at an even deeper level masks are non beneficial, and they might yet change their mind.

You can absolutely just accept faith isnt our guide and follow the best effort estimate of the people we pay for producing it. Dont wear the mask when they think it wont work, wear it when they discover maybe actually it might, remove it when ... you get the point.

Nobody knows, the government is not trying to steal our money with vaccines: they already did with taxes.
Because you're talking about two different things.

The vaccine rejection rate here is the percentage of people who say they won't get the vaccine. That has little to do with how many people have been vaccinated up to this point, which is a function of access and distributed among people who _haven't_ stated categorically they won't get it.

It can both be true that white people are more likely to say they won't ever get the vaccine than black and hispanic people AND that a higher percentage of white people have received vaccine shots SO FAR.

The classic "it depends" answer applies here, along two axes: container assembly, and container execution.

If you mean "docker" the binary used to build container images, you don't even need that right now -- there are multiple projects that will build container images without involving docker or dockerd.

If you mean "dockerd" the container management engine that one controls via "docker" to start and stop containers, then yes microk8s will help as they appear to use containerd inside the snap (just like kind and likely all such "single binary kubernetes" setups do): https://github.com/ubuntu/microk8s/blob/master/docs/build.md...
