Not trying to sound condescending, but do you have any working knowledge of containers?

That's why I said you need to go revamp the design of your app first, going from a "monolithic design" to a close-knitted, loosely-coupled "microservice-based design":

- split the functions of your app into pieces, do that on paper
- draw the interaction between all of those components with arrows, to see the inter-dependencies, see what functions need to read/write from a database and which need to poll another function for checking the state.
- read a bit about sharding (both app and database).
- start "breaking" the above functions into separate entities, containerize them (see what runtime you need, what extra libs, what OS would you prefer in case you need to troubleshoot, make sure you won't have a multi-gigabyte image, optimize as much as you can, you can do it later but you won't, let's be honest, that's how technical debt comes into play) and try to have them play nice with each other.

When you managed to do that, try to use docker-compose and do some testing, to see how the performance is doing, bugfix, do some more testing, then some more bugfixing afterwards and then, when you're happy with what you have, read about Kubernetes / Openshift / EKS / AKS and do an analysis on what you need from a container orchestration system, have some requirements then compare those with all the above examples I've wrote and get the right mix of cost per functionality.

I can't really recommend any reading for it, there are a lot of resources on Google for the theoretical stuff, but to put them in practice, either bring in someone experienced from outside your organization (if that person doesn't exist inside of it) or try to put together an innovation team that'll do this, but with a lot of "trial and error" sprinkled all over it.
I think this is unwise of the UK - the world is moving to a global system, the French had a good idea and it took root and now has pretty much become this global standard. If the UK adopts the fading and nearly extinguished old UK system, many businesses will cling to it and be marginalised.
Are there no Statesmen in the UK at all?

> what is "OpenJDK"?

It is an open source project, comprising a codebase, a set of contributors, and various mailing lists, processes, and so on, just like any other open source project.

The codebase is a continuation of the original Sun (later Oracle) JDK, now licensed under GPL 2 [1], with a linking exception that makes it fairly similar to the LGPL [2].

The contributors are mostly employees of big companies, with Oracle having by far the largest share.

The OpenJDK project releases source code, but does not itself distribute binary builds. In this respect, it is like numerous other open source projects, such as GNU coreutils.

Binary builds are made and distributed by operating system distributors (Red Hat, Debian, FreeBSD, etc), and also by various independent groups. As usual, each distributor may or may not add its own patches before building, and may or may not contribute these upstream. Eclipse Adoptium (formerly known as AdoptOpenJDK) [1] does not apply significant proprietary patches (just branding stuff), so it's a good place to get a plain vanilla OpenJDK build. Amazon's Corretto [4] in principle could contain whatever patches Amazon thinks are cool, but in practice usually just has a few backported bugfixes [5]. Azul's Core (formerly known as Zulu) has a bunch of patches (i couldn't find a list), and an option of commercial support) [6]. Oracle have a couple of builds, but you can ignore them. There are also builds from SAP, Bellsoft, and maybe others, but i have never really looked into them. Most people i know just use the AdoptOpenJDK / Adoptium builds, or whatever their distro gives them.

EDIT: I got the Adoptium thing slightly wrong. AdoptOpenJDK made builds; those builds are now called Eclipse Temurin. Eclipse Adoptium is some sort of 'marketplace' where different builds are validated and made available. To me, this sounds like one of those Apache grand ideas that won't go anywhere, but we'll see.

Global Warming of 1.5 ºC
Earth warming by 3 °C will lead to mass suffering and death. We must reduce global emissions to below 35 gigatonnes of annual CO₂. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a report[0] clarifying that our goal must be 1.5 °C to avoid disaster, not 2 °C. Achieving that means global carbon emissions must decrease significantly before 2030. Today’s emissions are between 40–45 gigatonnes per year. Following the Paris Agreement’s stipulations, global greenhouse gas emissions would still increase, peaking around 52–58 gigatonnes per year by 2030. That would coincide with 3 °C warming by 2100.

As individuals, actions having the most impact include:

1. Vote for parties aiming to exceed the Paris Agreement.

2. Never travel by airplane again (until electric planes take off).

3. Eat less meat and dairy (ideally, a soy-free vegan diet).

Other actions include:

* Choose eco-friendly appliances.

* Plant a vegetable garden (eat locally).

* Convert your home to solar power.

* Invest responsibly by divesting of fossil fuel funds.

Have you found any resources that are helpful, high quality, free, and sane?
It's true but not because they haven't tried. I remember they had some feature to share a video with your direct contacts/friends and open up a chat to talk about it.

I think this just goes to show it isn't as easy as they thought it was. I am sure Microsoft leadership thought it would be easy to turn a dominant consumer computing platform (windows) into a dominant mobile platform. I mean it is true that we are seeing a convergence to some degree with ios/ipad/macos. The thing is it doesn't happen as fast as needed for the competition to captialize on it. Facebook might eventually look like youtube. However, by the time it happens there will nothing left for youtube to gain. The market will be cooked.
a lot of this is in Linux now right ? i am asking a personal opinion and not necessarily a "why-dont-u-move-to-linux" question.

Massively, they did, yes. By both injecting money directly and taking away the burden of repayments. And this unemployment boost that expired is just one small piece of equation:

1 - unemployment boost
2 - stimulus payments
3 - extending unemployment to workers who would normally be ineligible (contractors etc)
4 - eviction moratorium
5 - mortgage forbearance programs
6 - student loans forbearance
7 - locally available , utilities payments pauses
8 - ppp grants
Trying to make the world better is a laudable goal but let's not pretend that there is some intrinsic "point" to existence. A point to existence almost implies that you chose to exist in the first place.
"Because even when university is "free" it still requires you to invest time."

That's ever so true. I've been to university over several periods earlier in my life. The first time there were fees but they were manageable by most students (as the Government provided reasonably heavy subsidiaries). By the next time the government had changed and a more enlightened one came in and made all fees (except student union fees) free.

This was great for a time until work commitments forced me to stop before I'd finished. Then a little later another government reversed it all and it even went much further - the new fee structure went from free to like $50,000 or even double that for some degrees. Thus, my lack of time caught me out big-time.

That said, had I had the slightest notion what was going to happen then I'd definitely have managed to find the time. That's for certain! (I'd not learned the old addage don't put off until tomorrow what one can do today.)
Isn't it the whole point though? That announced sure disasters didn't happen?
If "helping the unfortunate" always worked, why is there still homelessness in the west coast?

You can only help those who wish to help themselves. People who are in this category are willing to put in work and effort, regardless of success. People who are not just want a free handout and will quit if things don't go there way. Which ironically, is the social institution in much of the midwest, whom mostly have some of the lowest homeless populations in the US. Because they don't placate people contributing to the problem. They make people feel ashamed for contributing to it but empower them when they work towards getting out of it.
I have at least 3 friends who were working retail jobs who were on unemployment for over a year. 1 has gone back to work. 2 still milk it. They just figured out how to live VERY modestly. It’s mostly trailers and video games.

The existence of highly-paid tenure track faculty does not change the fact that too many classrooms are led by adjuncts who could make more at McDonald's than they do teaching.

Your argument is akin to saying that poverty isn't an issue in the U.S. because Bill Gates.
If we kept the same productivity to minimum wage ratio as the 60's minimum be 22+$ an hour.

It's not just time off, getting stock in the company or get a bigger return on your investment time wise could easily factor into it. If I was working for minimum wage at some company, I had no other financial benefits from working harder for why should I? That extra leisure is 5-8 hours more, so effectively not making an extra $58 vs having a full day back of your life is immediately more appealing. Meanwhile, back in the 60s their getting paid equivalents $10 an hour with what was much more common than today stock options being like at a factory like Ford. So that 8 hours off is now $80 and possibly less performance company wise so maybe even less stock later, naturally they'd work it.

The reality is, employers are taking advantage of this huge productivity to wage gap and not putting that money into their employees, and they are noticing.

I mean there is this UBI experiment is going to have a crushing impact on small business who can't afford to compete against the government and their preferred business partners for labor. This will produce a cascade of unemployed competing with each other for crappy jobs in the service sector. Meanwhile, the border is wide open and people are most definitely coming. Are they high-skill laborers? Hardly. They'll also compete for the low-skill agriculture, construction, and service sector jobs. The net-net will be that the Precariat will be driven to penury and servitude. Don't worry, they'll be masked so the rest of us don't have to see the anguish on their faces.

For a EPYC 7502P 32-core / 256GB RAM / 2x Mellanox Connect-X 6 dual-nic, I'm seeing $10,000.

Then comes the 18x SSD drives, lol, plus the cards that can actually hold all of that. So the bulk of the price is SSD+associated hardware (HBA??). The CPU/RAM/Interface is actually really cheap, based on just some price-shopping I did.
I’m from CZ but live in Sweden. I don’t think there is any magic (no gene difference as someone here suggested..)

Here’s the things I noticed that were clearly different between the two countries:

1. The rules were clear from the start and didn’t change much. FHM said from the beginning that the virus is here to stay and set the rules so that they are sustainable (most importantly: schools were never closed). There was no screw-unscrew-screw-… loop

2. Many more people worked from home here than in CZ. I don’t know what to attribute this to, it can be because Swedes are generally better acquainted with technology or that there are more jobs that can be done from home in Sweden.

3. People actually follow the rules (for the most part..there still were student parties and such). This can be an effect of people trusting their politicians and the government agencies but maybe just a different mentality. I still remember that during my visit to Prague people at the Billa supermarket at the Prague train station were absolutely not keeping distance and were touching bagels (rohlíky :-)) without any gloves. Masks and lockdowns won’t save you then…

4. People are generally much fitter here. You won’t see the typical Czech beer belly, in general everyone keeps themselves in shape and eats quite well.

Contrary to what many might think the level of healthcare is about the same in my experience.

I’m really no Tegnell fanboy, many things about him irk me a lot (his constant picking on other countries the most) and I wish the Swedish government took a more active role sooner rather than let FHM steer everything for about 9 months, but in general I think the Swedish strategy was good.
Database: Definition, Types, and Fact
This type of article confuses me because it ignores China and India. Specific case. Alibaba copied Amazon's business model. But then it successfully spins off Alipay (later Ant Financial and Ant Group). And before the government crackdown/policy changes at the end of 2020 Ant almost successfully IPO'd at a valuation of $314 billion.

Ant's business model involved payments, insurance and lending and was fantastically profitable because Ant leveraged its data about user payments to make efficient risk decisions. If the CCP hadn't decided Ant was too big (and violating data rules) then it would probably be continuing to grow.

I don't think any of this is obscure so I don't understand why the article doesn't point out that Amazon and Walmart aren't trying something that hasn't been done before.

It's amusing to see how various gaps are shrinking between two genders. Although still a long way to go, pay gaps are starting to shrink, at least at big corps. On the other end, for things like marital affair rates, both genders are now pretty close. Right now there is still huge gap in violent crimes between two genders but I wonder if this will shrink as well with new stats like in this article. A lot of our pre-assumptions about genders were either plain wrong or evolution is working its way towards equality as there is no longer need for hunter-gatherer social roles.
> You probably don't remember learning much about money or finance in high school.

I do.

> A 2014 meta-analysis of 169 papers and 201 studies, however, found that "interventions to improve financial literacy explain only 0.1% of the variance in financial behaviors studied" — and that low-income students had even weaker correlations.

That's because only two kids in a class of 40-ish were paying attention. It's the same two kids who were paying attention in science, math, literature, history, etc. That asinine argument can be made about education itself. Nobody is paying attention and actively prides themselves in not learning and never reading a book in their lives, that's the problem. That doesn't mean it "doesn't work", and that you should short change the students that actually want to participate.

It certainly helped me get out of poverty. The only people I've ever heard argue against this (until now) were people who actively wanted me to fail in life because they couldn't imagine themselves understanding it ever since they were already financially illiterate adults.

I took the lessons and the beatings so that I wouldn't have to continue taking the beatings later in life. The small fraction of students that you end up teaching actually do appreciate it.
I agree with everything you say. The 'subscribe and like buttons' would not help your conversion with HN readers, on the contrary. Trying to run this for profit also would not help your conversion with this audience.

So given your setup is already ideal for 'conversions' for this population (low profile, high integrity, no BS) I was simply genuinely surprised that only 11 people converted given enormous visibility/interest this thread had. Hope that makes sense.
> I think where mainstream nutritional science is going is understanding that people's 'maintenance calories' is insanely hard to calculate for people outside the average. For instance hormones playing a much bigger role, where your calorie range is off from what models will say, so unless you know how to safely find that maintenance and treat your diet like science to find it you're going to constantly be over/under weight.

Isn't this a fairly easy problem to solve? Don't you just need to make a reasonable guess, calculate your expected weight change over some time period, then follow the diet to see what actually happens to your weight, and adjust your guess accordingly?

> If your diet is 30-40% protein and not having refined sugars, you'll feel fuller and won't feel the need for more carbs besides indulgence/treat. You don't need to do this to lose or maintain weight, but look at 300 calories of beef or chicken breast vs 300 calories of bread.

Agreed. Eating healthier kinds of food can make it easier to lose weight, by making you not still feel hungry after you've eaten the correct amount of food, and so making it require less self-control to stick to the diet.
Coming up with potential "tracebacks" is how theoretical physicists make papers and get citations. And then you use them to design a proper experiment that will shed light to other aspects of this anomaly.

But for some reason this process ain't starting.

The r/personalfinance wiki on subreddit has some great starter content in a wiki[1] that's not a content marketing funnel into any product/service.

For investing-specific content, bogleheads also has a pretty awesome wiki [2] (though somewhat ideological, given that it's mainly around the "Bogle" philosophy).

These wikis are great because they're neutral (nothing to sell you) and also aggregated from thousands upon thousands of questions/answers/advice in each respective community.

Checking out a copy of 'the intelligent investor' from your local library would fit all three criteria you mentioned. Buying at least one share of Berkshire Hathaway comes with a lifetime subscription to Warren Buffet's shareholder letters, not quite free but certainly good value for money.

But in general, I think the issue is that basic financial competence doesn't require a very sophisticated model, it just requires the emotional intelligence and self-discipline to stick to a robust one. That probably can be taught, but not a lot of schools exist for it.
