Is this for just yourself, or for you and dependents? I went on a leave a few years ago, and COBRA was $700/mo just for myself (and I'm sure premiums have gone up since then). I could easily imagine that being $3k/mo for a family of four. Maybe $3k-$5k/mo is high, maybe it's normal, maybe my company has a good deal on insurance. Who knows; the entire system is disgustingly opaque.
Awesome idea, Refresh it here and there. But! be careful, it's time-consuming!

It’s great that podman serves a good role for you, and I’m not going to argue that. My points:

1. Docker containers absolutely can be run without root. Yes, it’s not the default policy, but containers can have a user ID. If you are referencing the daemon-less root-less nature of podman, that’s a clear advantage of podman vs Docker.
2. Docker containers also have a restart policy which I use to also have them startup on machine reboot. By graceful, you must mean sending SIGTERM to the containers which Docker does as well.

Perhaps podman does these things better, but I want to point out that Docker does have many features for better or for worse.
Maybe so.. but technology wise I don't think there's anything here that doesn't exist yet or that is even exceptionally advanced. It's just a matter of putting it all together and writing the code.
> This talk of peaceful development needs to be taken seriously. So I set about combing through my two English volumes of Xi Jinping’s Governance of China looking for the phrase and sentiments similar to it. Occasionally I would consult the Chinese edition of the same books when I wanted to see how a certain phrase or idea was conveyed in the original. I then tried to think of major events in the years since Volume II was published where Xi would have had cause to touch on these themes, and eventually realized that the most important certainly would have been the 2018 Central Conference on Work Relating to Foreign Affairs, which gathered together the politburo, the heads of the intelligence, united front, and foreign affairs bureaucracies, and all of China’s ambassadors under one roof to learn about “Xi Jinping Thought on Foreign Work.” Xi’s speech at that event has not yet been published, but I spent some time going through the Xinhua read-outs of it, as well as reading Yang Jiechi’s two lengthy precis of XJP Thought on Foreign Work for Qiushi.

In this case I can't compare it to agriculture. I don't think growing food in a desert is a good idea either.

We've seen these stories before. We need to keep seeing them until something is done about it. I just hope we don't get desensitized before that happens. Because then it will be accepted as normal.
It sounds like you're overthinking this a bit.

Kids chew on and swallow all kinds of weird shit. I've seen young kids chew the paint off whole sets of pencils. Babies put literally everything they can in their mouth. I've watched children lick window sills for fucks sake.

If there's lead glaze on the eating surface of a plate or bowl, and if you know it's mobile, as it was on my dishes, then it's a safe assumption that it's mostly going in your food.

Someone could spend a ton of time and money studying and quantifying the transfer of lead in all kinds of different scenarios, but what would the purpose be, when it's a relatively simple matter to abate or remove the hazard completely?

Food is a different matter, and I believe tested regulation of heavy metals in foods is sorrowfully lacking.
I'm on Google Fi and I don't think I've ever experienced this.

You are correct on both counts. Most people are not intimately familiar with the details of the Docker and Kubernetes stacks. Unscrupulous vendors have been taking advantage of this confusion to spread FUD and shine a more flattering light on their own products.
He did give the hiring team a big heads up that he rather not take the job than join Amazon. However the big issue is that Amazon's HR could have done so many things differently:

- work with him to get on short term or long term disability
- work with him to figure out a way to take the time off that he needed combined with getting back on track
- don't judge him on metrics he has no control over

Its a perfect combination of not giving a shit. I understand it costs them money, but Amazon has the money.
So this means privacy on the internet is now gone?

Can you recommend methods to avoid the tracking?

I'm part of the addiction recovery community, so I read it as Xi is doing an intervention on addictive and self-destructive aspects of capitalism. The author repeated twice the sentence "An outside force is needed to halt the madness. Xi Jinping has decided to be that force." Sounds like a healthy intervention to me.

Obama has also been endorsing Medicare For All since 2018. From an article about that subject:

"The facts are undeniable. Citizens of developed countries with variations of single-payer systems — Britain, Germany, France, etc. — pay roughly half what Americans pay for health coverage and have better results to show for it (longer life spans, lower infant mortality).

They accomplish this not through some exotic, foreign magic but by exploiting the economic benefits of large insurance pools that represent the entire population. This allows comprehensive coverage to be offered at affordable rates because everyone shares in the risks and rewards of the system.

Let’s be real clear: This isn’t socialism. This isn’t communism. It’s simple risk management — the same economic principle that underlies all forms of insurance."[1]

The bottom line is that nearly a third of America (over 100 million people) are already on Medicare or Medicaid. That is enough data to forecast any outcome there is. Billing, coding, everything is already at a federal standard. Hospitals, doctors, and clinics love Medicare/Medicaid because they know what they are going to be paid and they are paid. Anyone who claims that it can't work here is either unaware of these facts, or purposefully pretending they don't exist.

There's a difference between scrutiny and assuming Amazon's products are bad without evidence or explaining why. This article is more of the latter.

I'm all in favor of scrutiny. I don't think we should naively trust anyone. Especially not big companies and especially not with cameras and microphones in our homes. However, I expect commentators and reviewers to actually present some flaw, error, or evidence of a problem before they start calling things evil.

> Our vision for R2 includes multi-region storage that automatically replicates objects to the locations they’re frequently requested from.

Seems like they are going to automatically replicate data to other regions. Something like tebi.io is doing for a long time already, it is a geo-distributed S3-compatible storage that is replicating data across the world to reduce read/write latency and increase speed.

If it is done right, this might increase download speeds by a lot especially for big infrequently accessed files.

How is that easier than just the programmer choosing a garbage-collecting library and/or language that works for their use cases? Ex: Javascript / V8 gets this GC from this blogpost. Java gets their 3 or 4 command-line configurable GCs. Go gets their own. Lispers use their Lisp-gc implementation. Etc. etc.

Because each programming community has a particular workflow / paradigm that works for them, each specific garbage collector is explicitly designed for each language's quirks. For example: Lisp "cons" is practically a constant-sized garbage collector, possibly implemented using bitsets because all car/cdrs are of a consistent size. Java is throughput focused by default, because of a large number of server-based customers.

And of course: this Javascript / V8 focuses on latency optimization for the best UI responsiveness.

> I don't understand why you'd have to do task switching in the first place.

Wrong word. I meant system call. Either way, switching "into" kernel-context is expensive if only because of the security procedures necessary.

By turning garbage-collection into a system call, you've introduced a potential security issue into the kernel (and therefore: security-related slowdowns). If anything, you want to keep as much functionality outside of the kernel as possible.

> You can't mark pointers as unused without locking/syncing because kernel can reallocate pointers in the middle of scanning, no? That's the only reason, isn't it? But in kernel you'd know about it and you could mark unused pointers in single, lock/synchronisation free pass, no? In other words you don't need to stop the world if you are in kernel space because you know about all reallocations that are happening?

I would recommend that you write a malloc/free implementation by hand.

All garbage collection is, is when free becomes a no-op, and all the work is done in the malloc() call. It turns out that "malloc()" has all the information for which nodes were allocated, as well as which ones are alive and/or dead.

The kernel never has this information, because the malloc() call threw it away in the first place. If the programmer _had_ the information, they would have called free().

But the programmer decided that calling free() was either too hard, or error-prone for their use case, and decided to go with the easier malloc-only interface. That means that malloc() now has to work a lot harder to "rediscover" the locations of all pointers that must be freed.

It doesn't matter if these routines are in the kernel, in user-space, or taking place on the moon over a TCP/IP port by carrier-pigeons. The fundamental tradeoff you have is that your code must rediscover live vs dead pointers on its own, independently from the programmer.
I've worked on different projects. Yeah, I agree about stopping other work.
Funny that this is brought up. As an undergraduate in a Data Scientist class we did analysis on the SO dataset (we processed the whole thing using RStudio running on a big EC2 instance). I found that about ~1,000 users that have made less than fifty posts have moderator privileges. In that report, I suggested that they should give users quality points (Upvotes / # Page Views) rather than straight reputation points.

As a cultural athiest, I will only be affected by food shortages. But, for many people, Christmas is peak sale time and so the economic consequence of an un-deliberate stall on christmas selling is huge.

That seems like less of a distinction than you make it out to be. For regular people, the difference between driving and conducting is slight. For engineers and the implementation details it's a huge deal of course and makes a massive safety difference.

The reality is that the SDMs are cogs in the machine as well.

If a director asks the SDM why an employee isn't performing, and the SDM responds with any reason that doesn't support the organisation's goals, the director / VP is going to ask the SDM to get rid of the employee to meet Amazon's infamous URA quota[1]. If the SDM refuses, they are going to find another SDM who will do the job.

At the same time, the following is also true

> A significant percentage of SDMs believe they must "keep a high bar" and remove any dissenting subordinates.

> The difference going forwards for Amazon is that the stock is mostly stagnant, and so employees are no longer putting up with miserable harsh working conditions, the financial incentives are no longer there.

This is why Amazon is now importing a lot of international engineers, especially from Amazon India. Employees on L1 visa can't refuse the harsh working conditions, unless they are willing to take a huge pay cut and move back.

Yeah. $10k on a machine that was old hat by the time it got dusty and people just kept buying and buying. We will never see anything like that again.

I got my hands on well over $20000 worth of computers before I was 18 from hand-me-downs. You couldn't hardly resell used computers because they were so out of date by that time...the reason people got rid of them.

If it had not been for the used computers and all the churn (enthusiast grandfather in charge of tech for the family business) I would have never laid hands on one and most likely would have ended up in construction.

As someone who's lived in Shanghai for over a decade the idea of describing China as having less inequality than the US is hilarious. China isn't that poor. People were very close to equal in 1970 or 1980. They were poor in Tianjin. They were poor in Shanghai, They were poor in Hefei. Now large portions of the counytry are as well off as Poland and there are significant numbers of very wealthy people.

China is not poor enough to be equal. It's not Chad. It's developing rapidly economically.

It also does not resemble post WW2 USA in the pay structure. That artificially compressed pay structure, with doctors only earning 3 times what people in low level manufacturing make, requires a level of labor scarcity China still hasn't reached after 40 years of economic growth.

I heard a story about an astronomer loosing the chance to be the first to report a commet one cold winter night - just as he wanted to send the email to report it, the Internet connection was dead! He ran from the observatory to the nearest place with Internet connectivity, but by the time he sent the email from there, there was already a report from another astronomer elsewhere, a few minutes ago.

Reason for the mysterious network outage ? Thermal contraction! The observatory was connected to the Internet via an optical link to a highrise building in the city that contracted ever so slightly due to the very low temperature, moving the laser beam of the optical link out of alignment, shutting down the connection.
I expect that this is also why there are fewer tech companies in Europe than in the US, and why software developer salaries are much lower in Europe than in the US. Companies can't afford to pay top dollar (er, euro) when they have to hedge against being unable to fire employees who aren't doing their work.

Not saying either situation is better or worse overall; I expect there are winners and losers in both systems. Or, likely more accurately, the European system creates few big winners, but also few (or no) big losers, whereas the US system gives you the opportunity to be a big winner, but you could also end up homeless.

Personally I'm happy with how the US system has worked out for me, but I'm sure there are some people who feel the opposite.

That’s merely conjecture on my part. The two are quite different based on their descriptions. The Vedic Vishnu is described as a fierce warrior, like Varaha, a wild boar. Krishna is way more calm, reasonable, and shall we say crafty. The two also represent the shift from a hunter-gatherer society to a more agrarian based society.

Technically both Vishnu and Krishna are relatives, since they both descend from Kashyap, so I could see why his contemporaries saw him as the reincarnation of Vishnu.

I'm not sure what application you are thinking off. But the reason I'm following this problem is UX. Years ago, I worked on a project where anyone can add product prices into a DB. They do that by typing their receipt (line items) into the DB. The major issue was, the UX was horrible.
