From what I understand, the labour/complexity in K8S lies not with the deployment, but with managing said deployment over the long term.

This is a real problem for system architects/security professionals that need to maintain a bird's eye view of the system - a job that gets increasingly complex with every additional microservice once you hit critical mass.

This is not to say that K8S does not work - they do, but for certain problems. The cargo-cult mentality, however, threatens to introduce complexity in systems where there is need for none.
This is pretty neat. If you could take it a step further and have integrations to send the response payloads to other services like S3, SES, SQL insert into Redshift, etc then it would be great.
> A savvy tradesman these days (e.g. Plumber) can easily make more than most lawyers and even many physicians. I’ve cited that a lot when giving career advice to those being pressured into a college degree when it’s probably not the right fit for them.

Sure. A savvy football player can make more than most lawyers and many physicians, too. It's risky to make life decisions like this hoping that you'll be at the very top of the range for a particular profession. The vast majority of plumbers make less than even the median starting salary of lawyers in private firms.

I feel like most events in HOI in general are just... popup windows.

You need a very active imagination to piece together those popups into a cohesive story. HOI is a pretty abstract game, but a lot of simulation stuff is going on under the interface.

The map is realtime, so you can see your troops movement. But otherwise, its got a very "newspaper" like feel to events. If something happens, its reported as a popup window.

The STL interfaces work just fine with your alternative hash map, for example, those from Abseil. But to get the speed that they got, Abseil had to impose restrictions that make it less general. So yes, it can't be an std::unordered_map. That's OK. The algorithm APIs work just fine on any class that looks like a standard container.

No mention of Ostriv. That Cities Skylines screenshot is amazing but definitely heavily modded.

But I'd love to see the author try Ostriv because while it is very unpolished it does allow for free placement of buildings. You can actually construct a little place similar to that screenshot from Cities skylines in Ostriv with ease.

The problem of course is that you want good supply lines and he illustrates that in his medieval village plans from real archaeology. How they all fan out from a central point.

First thanks for your response

> A theme of how you describe your interactions was to throw the support team under the bus, and/or highlight their failures to help you when interacting with an executive.

I left out a lot of details, which I know means that a lot of assumptions will necessarily be made. I think you're reading into my comment something I didn't do. To give more details on the interaction. There was no phone support, only email and support took almost 2 weeks to response to my dilemma, which exceeded the response time expected by US Customs and the stuff I purchased was returned. They didn't respond to 3 additional requests within that two week period. When they finally responded, they couldn't solve the problem. The only real failure of the support team was that they were grossly understaffed. There's no reason for two week wait times, especially for a customer that just placed an order for multiple thousands of dollars which they charged the customer for when it was shipped, not delivered.

When I reached out to the executive to explain the problem. They only fault I gave to support was stating that they must be grossly understaffed if the response times were as long as they were. In my message, I placed the responsibility for fixing that particular issue of understaffing on the executive in question (head of ecommerce). Other issues that needed attention was how they were handling international fulfillment was causing them defects and costing them probably $100 or more per defect on shipments to the United States. I had already reached out to the partner company they worked with and was in contact with that company's United States CEO. Together we figured out the issue and I was relaying the fixes to the head of ecommerce for the company so he could fix the problem at the root because the buck stopped with him. I was solving a very real problem for them that was costing them money and I did all the research into the fix and provided the person who was ultimately responsible with fixes. I did this because I was trying to fix the problem myself during those two weeks before US customs sent my order back.

Passing the buck when it's your job and a customer has figured out the problem and handed you the solution on a silver platter is highly unprofessional.

Regarding your recomendation to use the system. It's a good one and one I'm familiar with. I use it often, but in my original example above I did not because the system in question had no interfaces to interact with besides a support email. There was no phone system, no chat system, not brick and mortar store, no support agents, etc. It was a system with a single interface that provided no interactivity (I can't dial 0 or ask to speak with the right person). The only interfaces available were that email address, US Customs and the shipping company.

Has there been interfaces that could be probed and exploited to solve the problem, yes, I totally agree with your approach.
It's funny - it always seems those who use "fanboiz" or other collective terms akin, always seem to be projecting...

They don't seem to be able to grasp that maybe there are different viewpoints in this world. Maybe that's even a good thing, and perhaps denigrating entire swathes of people as "fanboiz" says more about the person doing it than about the people they're complaining about.

Just maybe.
facebook sucks.
I disagree about "plus" in the JodaTime example. The month addition with corner cases did exactly what I expected because the whole library has been polished to "do what a normal human would do, most of the time". A normal human would not suspect Jan + 1 month, is any month other than Feb. However I suspect, not even reading the documentation, if it were fed 30 or 31 days, rather than '1 month', it would also do exactly that, and mostly give dates in March.
> The main benefit of employer purchased health insurance is that you buy with pre tax dollars.

The main benefit is that my employer pays most of the premiums. As an example, I have a high deductible plan. The deductible is only about $3750/year. I pay 0 in premiums. The equivalent health plan from healthcare.gov is easily over $10K in premiums.
I am not sure about the compounding 40%. I don't know enough about infectious disease transfer. The previous poster had asked about the 40% so I was giving him the source. Personally I agree with you 40% is still better than 0%.

As far as heart disease, in my opinion it does drastically impact other people. Heart disease patients take up hospital beds, they take up medical supplies, they take up doctors time. The CDC says ~1 in 4 deaths is due to heart disease. (https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm) It is a massive drain on our medical system (perhaps the greatest).
Let's not forget that Aleksandr Kogan - the guy who harvested the Cambridge Analytica data was a research associate at Cambridge. Can facebook trust all the researchers at NYU? Can't one of them just leak and sell the scraped data? There are no guarantees that the scraped data will be used for just academic purposes. Facebook probably doesn't want another data-leak fiasco.
I agree!

I'm someone who's still getting surprises from his property purchase (UK leaseholder, converted Victorian terrace).

I would have loved to know ahead of time about forthcoming issues I'd have to deal with that the survey didn't pick up.

Would likely still have gone ahead with the purchase (I was in a baby-induced rush), but with a stronger bargaining position. It's not as if UK property prices are reasonable in any case.

I _personally_ feel that not declaring serious flaws just because it's not legally required equates to lies by omission.

Interesting problem space and solution. Question, is there any value in the raw materials contained in the debris? Would it be feasible to aggregate/collect a certain, let’s say, “value threshold” of debris that makes it economically reasonable to return a bulk payload back to earth? Even if the answer is currently “no”, it seems like harvesting essentially free materials and suspending them en masse in a controlled orbit makes a lot of sense. Eventually groups will want to fabricate in space, and you could have the raw materials ready to provide.
This is great but virtually all of this is similar to what I know about the samurai - most fighting with a sword ends VERY quickly with someone getting stabbed. We are talking about an encounter between two men being decided in a few swordstrokes. Seconds, not minutes. There is not much room for 3-5-10 minute fights and acrobatics.

Yes it’s interesting as a YouTube video, but for filmmaking suspense comes from “dilating” the moment in time, spending as much as possible in each step before the final blow.

With realistic sword fighting, this is mostly impossible afaik.
You need to price in the infrastructure for acquisition, storage, and prep (once you do, you see why GP mentioned peanut butter). Also, one has to price in the nontrivial hoops we make poor people go through to get their minimum wage or food stamps.

Show HN: Eating Glass, a book about entrepreneurial failure
Author here. I recently released a book titled "Eating Glass: The Inner Journey Through Failure and Renewal", which I wrote in the aftermath of a painful entrepreneurial failure. Nothing in my experience or reading prepared me for the brutal reality of that season. In our rush to celebrate failure, we often sanitize it, so honest accounts are rare. That can leave us struggling for guidance when we face soul-shattering experiences. I have since met many others--founders, creatives, or just ordinary people--who felt similarly lost when they had to weather life's storms. That led me to write the book I wish I'd had during that season.

I'm sharing with HN because it's my favorite community of creative, entrepreneurial people who also have thoughtful, serious, and real conversations about what it means to live well. I believe the book will resonate with popular HN themes about ambition, failure, resilience, work-life balance, midlife, and the spiritual quest to work out what constitutes a well-lived life. I have provided a large amount of free content (both written and audiobook excerpts) at www.markdjacobsen.com/eating-glass.

This excerpt from the Introduction gives a sense of my style and themes. Enjoy!

--

"Fail fast, fail often, fail forward." That is the mantra in Silicon Valley. We celebrate failure like Viking raiders toasting comrades fallen in glorious battle. We clank our frothy steins and hail their courage and honor. We weave epic tales of their battlefield prowess and the journeys of their immortal spirits to Valhalla. We yearn for a death half as good as our fallen heroes.

Any real warrior knows a battlefield death is not glorious. It is stupid mistakes, ill chance, screaming misery, urine and shit, fear and indignity. Dismembered youth strewn along the beach sob for their mothers.

We wrap battlefield death in legend not because it is so glorious, but because it is so terrible. We construct the legends, the myths, and the rituals so we can tame our own terror. Behind each of those gruff, bearded faces, a petrified child peers into the abyss of his own mortality. Will we have the courage to die so well? We clash our mugs, bellow at death, and applaud our own bravery.

> I never said they were a "burden." I was indicating that just because you've paid off your mortgage doesn't mean living in a house is free.

No one claimed it was free, and if it’s not a burden then what’s the problem? My point is that $80K without a mortgage or retirement allocation leaves significantly more money left over than $80K with those expenses. Where is the problem?
> the vast majority of people will rate themselves as above average for any given ability, even though that’s by definition impossible.

Not "by definition". It's easy to build a probability distribution such that an arbitrarily large majority of samples are above average (e.g. if it has a long tail to the left).
I think the main issue right now is we have politicians masquerading around acting like they care about us and are trying to keep us safe, while stripping our freedom and tearing up the social fabric of American. What the politicians and media have been doing is ACTUALLY fear mongering us for 14+ months straight. Remember... it used to be just "14 days to flatten the curve" but they're not stopping? Political satire is one of the very few last protected types of speech that we have. If you're upset about AURS, then get involved, rally, recall these politicians and get us back to normal. That should be the focus. -- David Alexander Bramante

More anti-china propaganda.

> Education is a key aspect of China's global power strategy.

Is it not a key aspect of every major nation? But when we do it, it's called "soft power".

> This was supposed to be «neo-Nazi-like» content?

That's funny, if it was "neo-nazi" content, then it's okay to be censored?

> In offering such assistance, China specifically selects students from countries in which it has political interests.

As opposed to switzerland or anyone else who does the same thing?

> The country is becoming increasingly aggressive in its foreign policy.

Are they? Seems like we are the ones getting aggressive. Is china sending warships all over european shores?

> He ultimately received a fellowship from the Chinese government to a university in Wuhan, for three years instead of just one, as originally planned. In September 2018, he flew to Wuhan, quickly made friends and fell in love.

So he got a fellowship from the chinese government and then criticized the government? What does he expect?

> According to this telling, Gerber himself decided to terminate his studies at the university.

So he decided to quit?

> While research freedom and the freedom of expression are important fundamental principles in the West

Is it? Because censorship seems to be rampant in the US but especially in europe. Give me a break, there are certain topics that are researchers simply won't touch.

> Gerber saw an opportunity to position himself as a China expert.

Good one.

> «I can say what I want here.»

But not "neo-nazi" stuff right?

> In a report issued last year, the Swiss intelligence service warned that Chinese spies might be masquerading as students or researchers.

That's a certainty, but swiss spies and intelligence agents are masquerading as students and researchers too.

Everyday it's the same old propaganda.

> He was referring to a specific tweet: a cartoon that Gerber had posted in response to another user's tweet. It depicted a comic character that had been altered and had stereotyped Chinese features, with yellow skin tone and slit eyes.

So he did post racist material on twitter after all.

> «In retrospect, I realize I didn't question the rendering of the Chinese person enough,» he said.

Says the self-proclaimed china expert. It's always a certain type of guy. Always. And by the looks of it, it wasn't the chinese government censoring a nobody, but a student from canada who was upset about his racist bullshit.

I'm pro-free speech ( an absolutist ) but just can't stand the hypocrisy. This hypocrite supports censorhip and more importantly, this news company peddling this propaganda supports censorship.

"Ralph Weber, a China expert and professor at the University of Basel, is critical of Swiss universities for often failing to perform sufficient due diligence on their foreign partners – especially those from China."

This article and this "china researcher" are advocating for the exact same thing that they are attacking china for.
