In many societies there used to be rites of passage where you 'became a man' (or woman) like your first kill etc, but now that's removed from western society we're seeing increased infantilization and 'adulting', with immaturity lasting for most of peoples lives because they've never had a defining event to move them into an adult role.

In the past for a game-modding project we sort of opensourced reports. Users (meeting certain criteria) could visit a page and view 5 seconds of video and statistics of an alleged/detected cheater. Then select positive/negative/inconclusive. If (IIRC 5 users) had voted and the majority said positive/negative then a ban/unban would be issued. Because it was random reports and the usernames were hidden, there were no obvious bias.

Is K8S still eating so many CPU cycles while idle?

Last year I checked and every physical machine in a K8S cluster was burning CPU at 20-30% - with zero payload, just to keep itself up!

Don´t you feel that this is totally inacceptable in a world with well understood climate challenges?

Just for the record: There is nothing you have to do when switching jobs in Germany - you just keep your previous health fund. There is a very small amount of people without health insurance but once you are in the system (which I think is fair to call "national healthcare system") you will find it very hard to leave even if you try.
True, although Apple does ignore sectors where they can't maintain their margins. They no longer make printers for instance and despite an obvious interest they have never sold a TV.

I think what I'm saying is if you have a model where you make 30% to 50% margins then going after business that can only attain 3% to 5% margins is never going to work.

Hi Benoît & Avi,

As part of my advisory business, I've seen a few companies tackling this in Africa. My biggest question has been, isn't this a "feature" than can be deployed by the existing Payroll companies?

These days we have a lot of Credit As A Service companies. Why can't a Payroll service connect to them and provide this service as an add on.

To summarize my question: can your innovation get distribution before the Payroll services get (this) innovation?

Or wouldn't you inadvertently have to encroach into that space eventually?

Or do you see yourself extending towards the credit side of things?

All the best!

Personally, I think it's just because of subreddits:

- Well-moderated subreddits are bubbles of locally higher quality

- Discussions on one subreddit stay contained within it - each subreddit is also a social bubble

On Twitter, there's no quality standards moderation, and Tweets spread along the social graph, not within bounded communities. You may be discussing a niche topic with a group of like-minded friends, but it takes one asshole in your, or your friends', follower list, for your tweet to suddenly gain attention with a larger group of assholes, who then are free to inject themselves into the conversation.
Without trying to be contrarian, I don't think that everything should be archived. Random tweets, random blog posts, random personal web sites. Let them wither and die and be forgotten. Notable content by notable people? Sure.

Everyone else ought to have the right to be forgotten, including some drunk tweet they wrote 10 years ago and regret, or an old personal page which contained too much PII.

Archive no longer has a way to opt-out, which is bad enough, but I still think they should be opt-in.

The situation right now is that developing websites is very simple. Beginners don’t struggle at all anymore. The reality behind all new people is that they have zero creativity and don’t know what to do about that. Therefore, simple things that get you up and running are of no interest. What will you even create once you are up and running?

So things like Firebase will become less popular, and more complicated things will become more popular since that offers more progression (‘at least I’ve learned to do harder and harder things’).

There’s a line from Being John Malkovich where the girl he is after tells him the following:

Maxine : Here's the thing: If you ever got me, you wouldn't have a clue what to do with me.

Most of us have no idea what to create with how simple things are.

Will a nice service that offers scalability, auth, user management, real time, etc become popular? Nah. No one has any good ideas on what to do with that.

Will barebones roll your own static site generators and shit become more popular? Yes, for we don’t know what else to do but keep churning the butter.

This possibly sounds like being over tired. Are you able to fully relax at different points in the day, or would you say you are an always on the go type? If the latter it could be you have a sleep/relaxation deficit that the napping can't pay back.

Although mileage varies and all that.
On one very tiring day I decided I wanted to see that stupid useless video someone had sent me, and I updated Flash to see it. It failed and I thought no more of it.

It would be great if someone wrote a book about open world video games. Or just video game worlds in general. Perhaps 100 games, three pages of pics and two pages of commentary for each one. Feels like someone should document all these virtual worlds since most people only have time to experience a few. Maybe it would work better as a wiki, or could start as such.

Except they have regulated profit margins - it's cost-plus. So they have an incentive to make everything as expensive as possible to maximize their take. And the CPUC rubber stamps everything the utilities ask for.

CA has some of the most expensive electricity in the nation. So it doesn't seem like the idea worked out.
Unfortunately, cameras only capture RGB values, not a whole spectrum. It is impossible to perfectly color-correct the image unless you know both the spectrum of the light source and of the materials in the scene. A reference card with lots of colors still only provides you with the known spectra of the colors on that card, it still might not contain a color with the exact same spectrum as that flower you are trying to photograph for example.

Another issue is that even if you have the perfect photography + post-processing setup, when I see the result it might be on a non-calibrated monitor, or on paper but in a room with non-perfect lighting, and perhaps I was just looking at something else a second before and my brain's auto white-balance hasn't caught up yet. So I might still not perceive it as was intended. This is why that gold dress looks blue to some people.

The patch of grey on the reference scale + good lighting of the scene to begin with will get you 99% of the way, the remaining 1% is extremely hard to get right, if at all possible.
A lot of Open Source code has been hard to build on SGI since around 2000. So don't get too excited if you're planning to use it for anything aside from museum exhibits.

Maybe a better analogy -- when I'm on call and get paged, my first response is not to immediately restart the servers. The immediate response should be to assess the situation, not jump straight to the most extreme approach.

Now you may quite reasonably point out that a page on a software system is seldom of the same weight as an emergency call to the police (true in my case -- money, not lives, have always been at stake in the systems I work on), but this ignores the reality that the "swarming with guns" approach _also_ can, and has, cost lives. So if anything, the higher stakes involved for police involvement is an even _stronger_ argument to take the extra time to properly assess the proportional response.
Decentralized Web Might Not Overperform the Cloud Anytime Soon
It might happen that folks downvote things even if they like it, just because its the only interaction possible. From what little I understand of content reception, the drive to interact triumphs the drive to curate/(give your opinion for the collective good, for the lack of a better word).

In a few weeks the website would then introduce a ‘controversial’ or ‘worst’ sorting and ironic downvoting would become mainstream till the devs give in and treat the downvote as an upvote, or introduce both downvote and upvote (wherein imo they’d stand a chance of losing their userbase).
Our feeds are already heavily curated. I recently subscribed to the WSJ, and got paper delivery of the weekend editionfor free. At first, I clicked the option because I use a charcoal grill and I'm paperless to the point I struggled to find material to start it with.

But it seemed like a waste to not read it. Once I started though, I quickly started to really enjoy the experience of reading a paper news paper. Aside from the tactile feel, and fresh smell there is joy in a completely uncurated experience. I'm reading things that are way out of the bounds of my normal filter bubble. I'm exposed to topics I never knew I found interesting. Life is duller when its completely curated.

The amount of slippery slope argument and strawmanning on HN when it comes to topics like this is pretty embarrassingly Daily Mail-ish.
Yeah, history shows that revolutions which consist killing or expelling all the educated, well-off citizen typically end up having pretty bad results for everybody. Even if you successfully capture their wealth, the future will be poor when there's nobody competent enough left to manage administration, education, farms, industry, infrastructure and so on. And once things go downhill like that, it's not easy to turn things around.

I also think there's a cultural factor at play. In addition to wealth and education, more well-off families may also have cultural capital which encourages things like entrepreneurship, long-term thinking and higher self-esteem. Even if these are secondary to wealth, they may still have an impact. I think the impact of culture in general is underestimated as it very much influences human behaviour and outcomes, not just politics, geography etc.
I just checked, perhaps the fact that I have "reputation-based" blocking always disabled helps, which seems to avoid that kind of false positive. I am not a fan of my OS phoning home to check every single executable I run. Either it's in the virus database, or I'm tech-savvy enough not to run any .exe I receive via e-mail.

I work in Cyber Security and I would never want to run any Next Gen antivirus software (such as Defender ATP) on my private computers. For a corporation or organization that wants tight control, these are perfect products. You can go full Orwell 1984 on your org with these tools and they do provide good endpoint protection including graph and AI based (post-signature) antivirus and full Event Detection and Respond* (essentially a spy-black-box), which is great if you're a company or org. However this is a future you do not want to be part of in your private life.

> but I also feel a little overwhelmed by the almost infinite ways to use them.

Approach it from the opposite side - do you have a use case or a problem that might be solved with either of these tools? Then try them out and see if they help. If you dont, then who cares about the complicated things that can be done with Airtable or Sheets, none of that is relevant to you.
The key feature of chroot is that you can provide a process with a completely different filesystem view. You can leave stuff out that exist in the standard view, or change things. Change the contents of system directories.

The problem with traditional chroot is that you can typically import setuid applications in this new space which can get confused, for example by a new /etc/passwd file. For this reason, chroot can be used only by root.

The advantage of such a NO_NEW_PRIVS flag is that this kind of abuse of setuid applications is not possible.

This should make it safe to allow ordinary users to use chroot.
There's another thing that is missing, the article says "Haiti and the D.R. share the same geography" but that is quite wrong, as Haiti was actually the undesirable part of the island, an unexploited part that was opportunistically colonised by France because Spain didn't use it.

They don't share the same geography or natural resources at all, most of the settled, economically important places both in Haiti and DR are in the plains but DR has more plains than the whole area of Haiti, while Haiti's few plains are mostly salt marshes with cities in the more hospitable areas.
