If you delve into the data, African slaves were taller (and thus presumably healthier) when living in the USA, than in Africa.

African-Americans today are substantially wealthier and live in better societies than the average African.

There are also more slaves today, than at any point in human history.

The problems of the African American community can be mostly blamed on low average IQ due to genetics, and family culture being replaced by welfare culture starting from the Great Society program.

I think GH Actions is a pretty cool idea. I don't use them, myself, because, every time I count myself, I keep coming up "1."

When I left my last job, and started working on my own, I set up things like CI/D, JIRA, Jenkins, etc. These were the bread and butter for development in my old shop.

But they are "Concrete Galoshes"[0], and work very well for teams, as opposed to ICs. As a single developer, working alone, the infrastructure overhead just slowed me down, and, ironically, interfered with Quality.

When GH Actions were first announced (I can't remember, but they may have been beta, then), I set up several of them, on my busier projects. They worked great, until I started to introduce some pivots, and I realized that there was actually no advantage to them. I ran the tests manually, anyway, and the Actions just gave me one more thing to tweak. It was annoying, getting the failure messages, when I knew damn well, the project was fine. I'd just forgotten to tweak the Action. I introduce frequent changes, in my work, and that is great.

I think it is because we have a political structure that people to be increasingly accountable to the choices of others responsible for their mistakes. It breeds resentment and hatred.

Absent this structure, people would have no problem with an idiot making mistakes. Take that same person and make others pay for every mistake they make, and guess how people will respond.

K8s aren't easy, but if you have enough workloads that you can't keep track of on a single spreadsheet, you probably could use K8s. I haven't seen really true alternative to manage large enough and variable enough workloads successfully.

One such scenario that I've seen is companies running multi-tenancy services where clients don't share the same databases, apps, etc.. K8s might be too much.

Hi y'all, roasbeef here, the co-creator of the LSAT protocol!

Was really thrilled to see this link organically get so far up on HN. Since we initially released the linked website and corresponding blog post [1] a year ago, we've continued to develop Aperture [2], a pure-Go reverse proxy that natively speaks the LSAT protocol. We use Aperture in front of all our Lightning/Bitcoin related services, with the LSAT credential itself serving as richly featured API tokens.

We have a lot of cool stuff planned to bridge the gap here between the server-side/protocol and the web itself, in the form of a new "Lightning Browser Kernel" that'll abstract away a lot of the underlying flow, to make logging in or beginning to stream payments for a computational API as easy as clicking a button. Excited to be able to share more in this direction towards the end of the year.

On the web application side, since then developers like Buck have also started to release wrappers around _existing_ web application frameworks to allow developers to add Lightning-based monetization/metering/authentication directly into their web apps [3]. If you want to see the web app wrapper live, then check out this LSAT playground that lets you interactively produce/verify/satisfy an LSAT right from your browser [4].

Happy to field any questions related to LSAT our our vision of the Lightning Native web!

It depends on what other choices you make in terms of costs.

If you are STUPID, you insist on living in hell-holes like California (LA or SF areas) and you lock yourself into foolish costs you can easily avoid. FOMO is an excellent and primary way to make you last statement a 100% certainty.
Yeah, you’re right that was the 2008 version. Fair enough.
For anyone interested in what the tech is (very hard to find on their website) here is a quote from a techcrunch article

"Sila Nanotechnologies has developed a drop-in silicon-based anode that replaces graphite in lithium-ion batteries without requiring changes to the manufacturing process. The company claims that its materials can improve the energy density of batteries by 20% and has the potential to reach 40% improvement over traditional li-ion."

In theory. In practice, refusing to cooperate can initiate a lengthy process of them asking you why and using that for probable cause to do further searches or even arrest you. You may be right in the end, but you'll have a few bad days plus be out of quite a bit of money. That's why this is quite effective against people who really think they don't have anything to hide.
Not every app needs com.apple.security.cs.debugger in their entitlements and it's questionable to put it in a blog post where it's likely to be copied and pasted.
More confusing to me is that interview cards have effectively always had a aka field and police records have “known” associates fields. I remember my parents gleefully showing me their FBI files that outlined that info (and how frequently wrong it was).

Reading the comments here, I think we generally use dishwashers quite differently in Europe than they do in the US.

I'm French, in Belgium, with an Italian dishwater that doesn't have a grinder (didn't even know that this existed) and I simply don't leave anything that could have to be ground on my dishes.

I do have to clean the filter once in a while, but I just don't leave on my dishes anything that could be scrapped beforehand. I don't prewash them or do anything special, but I don't leave solid waste on my dishes either.

Sorry, I think I came across dismissive of Nomad which I am not. I work with multiple products in the HC stack daily, but have yet to work with Nomad, however, the bits that I have seen and read about Nomad, it seems like a great tool, and I agree there is place for Nomad in the current ecosystem, just like there is place for ECS. Even if I didn't think so, at the very least, like you said, it's good to have competition.

What I was calling out is the abundance of people who claim it is the greatest thing since the tech equivalent of sliced bread, and love to point out how simple it is despite requiring the need for Consul to run it at enterprise scale and likely also Vault if you need secret management in any form, which then also needs Consul if you want to run it at scale. I have intimate experience with running Vault and Consul and have advised colleagues for the better part of 2 years on utilising Vault (either as basic secrets management or some of its more advanced features). IIRC the recommendation from HC is also running a third Consul cluster for service discovery. If running Nomad at scale is anything like Vault, then it isn't as simple as people make it out to be, never mind the fact that you'll probably be running 5 different clusters of 3 different products to provide functionality that doesn't fulfill half of what Kubernetes gives.

I'm with you, but others do notice. I know several people who will off-handedly comment on small increases in produce prices.

Likewise with items moving on/off the dollar menu at fast food places.

If there are 4 people in your family, that's an extra $4 at least, which is ~30 minutes of minimum wage, or about 1.25% of a week's pay before taxes. I'm not going to try to guess what portion of that hypothetical family's income is expendable, but if it's 1.25% of their total weekly earnings then it's probably a much higher percentage of their weekly disposable income.

If you've got $40 a week left over as disposable income, an extra $4 starts to seem like a lot more. In an economy where most people can't cover a surprise $200 bill, $4 means something to a lot of people.

Ah, you’re right. I just found some correspondence related to the clearance and I did indeed provide fingerprints. The company I was working for at the time apparently was working with the NSA. I have almost no recollection of this. Maybe the MIB wiped my mind.

Bruce Schneier's written a few times on the subject of what the NSA should do, when coming across a powerful exploit. This can be a surprisingly complex calculus when you're thinking solely strategically and not specifically about privacy or ethics as goals in of themselves. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/shoul...

In this article, Schneier suggests that if the US and China have an iPhone exploit, and exploits are very rare, then the US should disclose and patch it because it's likely that China has the same exploit. But if exploits are not very rare, then the US should not disclose the one it knows because China probably knows a different one, so the US would lose its capability to spy on China but China would still be able to spy on the US. His conclusion, though, is different, and argues for erring on the side of patching bugs.
The guy you're referring to, Dorner, apparently published a manifesto, detailing why he did what he did (he claims to have reported excessive use of force, and that he was fired in retaliation for reporting it). Wikipedia has some of the details:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_a...

And how about this police lunacy, related to the manhunt for Dorner:

"Torrance to pay $1.8 million to settle surfer David Perdue’s lawsuit in mistaken Christopher Dorner shooting"

"The city of Torrance will pay $1.8 million to a Redondo Beach surfer who was mistakenly shot at by its police officers during the manhunt for rogue Los Angeles police Officer Christopher Dorner, officials announced Thursday. The agreement settles David and Lizzette Perdue’s lawsuit against the city and its Police Department, ending the acrimonious battle over what occurred that chaotic week in February 2013. Officers rammed Perdue’s truck thinking he was Dorner fleeing a shooting, then fired three shots at him."

https://www.dailybreeze.com/2014/07/24/torrance-to-pay-18-mi...

Apparently there were three separate mistaken shootings by police in one day, where they thought it might be Dorner. Including one instance where police fired dozens of bullets without warning at two ladies in a Nissan truck delivering newspapers (both survived it amazingly).

"In three separate incidents in the early morning hours of February 7, 2013, police fired on people who turned out to be unrelated to Dorner. Dorner was not present at any of the incidents."

It's not that bad. No, really. If a cop pulls you over based on speeding and asks for anything else unrelated to that, you simply and politely decline. It's very rare that a cop will risk their job or go through the hassle of taking people in simply for exercising the 4th or the 5th amendment. As a citizen you have many avenues for recourse, your cynicism is unwarranted.

Simply and agreeably assert your rights. More people do it than you think.
Vlang started as a closed source project with a lot of lofty claims that fell apart quickly once the project was actually opened up. Combined with all the delays and broken delivery promises leading up to that, it gave people a poor impression of the project.

> I have donated to police in the last couple/few years, so... there's that... which may come to an end.

In my opinion, there's a good reason for it to come to an end that has nothing to do with this.

In the states I'm familiar with, PBAs and police unions were the top (and sometimes only) spenders when it came to lobbying against marijuana legalization. They use those donations to lobby and ensure that they can continue to arrest, fine and imprison scores of people for victimless crimes, while also ensuring their job security in doing so.
Strong privacy laws can’t stop a government, because a government can repeal or modify them on a whim. Or make it so you can’t actually face prosecution if you violate them no matter what the theoretical penalty is.

For an example of why governments can’t be trusted to obey their own laws, the North Korean constitution has clauses ‘guaranteeing’ the freedoms of speech and assembly, freedom of press, freedom of religion, and achieves none of these things.
I personally dislike social media as well, but this is really over the top. Social media has advantages. That's like saying never tell anyone your name or anything about you - sure, it could at some point be used against you, but humans are still social creatures.
