> I also think that it's more than safe to say that K8s is dropping Docker when they've deprecated it as a container runtime

This is wrong. Docker itself is no longer a container runtime: it has spun out that capability into containerd. Kubernetes can now call Docker’s container runtime (again: containerd) directly instead of going through a redundant docker-shim.

In other words: Kubernetes has dropped Docker’s old container runtime in favor of… Docker’s new container runtime.
> corporations would be happy to have the government take over those functions.

Is this really true? I would think so, too, but if it were, wouldn't we see a flood of companies in the US lobbying Congress to create a government-backed healthcare option, or even single-payer? To the point where it would have been done decades ago, right-wing political ideology be damned?

The cynical part of me wonders if companies like the current situation, since that gives companies more power over their employees.

> The US still doesn't have wide-spread use of chip & pin on credit cards

That's not really the case anymore. The new struggle is contactless. I can count on my hands how many times I've had my current debit card swiped (which is good since its stripe is looking like shit by now).

Gas stations are finally implementing chip transactions (the deadline is Oct 2021 iirc), which fortunately generally includes a contactless reader.

But alas, we'll likely see the same problems with digital ID that we have with REAL ID.
Maybe when the Internet was new. But whether you count the Internet's birth in the 1980's with the original cross-content and cross-country links, or around the first dot com boom and bust in 2001, or with the iPhone in 2007, we know how "the Internet" is going to interact with "the community". We knew this back in 2016 when Microsoft released their "AI" chatbot to Twitter, and Twitter taught it to be a racist asshole in less than 24 hours† and the Internet, collectively said duh. Of course that was going to happen.

Anyone who's started a new community these days knows they have to start with a sort of code of conduct. That's non-negotiable these days. Would it be better if platforms like Discord did more to address the issue? Absolutely.

You're totally right it isn't easy - but the Internet's a few decades old by now and we know what's going to happen to your warm cosy website that allows commenting. The instant the trolls find it, you either die an MVP or live long enough to build content moderation.

It is said that the average tenure at Amazon is two years. By your measuring stick, a company that is a revolving door does have the nasty tendency to leave a lot of its employees with plenty of reasons to complain.

If you disagree with something you can ignore it and move on, or engage with it and respond with your own counter-argument.

I sympathize with a lot of what you wrote (and didn't downvote it), but the Trump era has highlighted a serious problem with your specific point above. The marginal cost of bullshit is zero. It takes basically no effort to post more of it, while it always takes at least a small amount of effort to debunk it.

Worse, the bullshitter usually has the first-mover advantage. To claim the initiative, they only have to post a new thread predicated on far-right propaganda or conspiracy theories or hijack an existing one. Once lost, the rhetorical high ground is difficult and time-consuming to reclaim. As soon as you argue with the shitposter, they effortlessly shift their role from aggressor to victim, as some would suggest is happening in this very conversation.

I've always maintained that the antidote to bad speech is more speech. A few years ago I would have died on this hill at your side. But principles that don't work in practice are useless... and this one, having been tested, simply doesn't work in practice. The sheer quantity of bullshit has an ironclad quality all its own.
huh. For any specific purpose? Does it seem like they avoiding paying for recruiter accounts or something by evading algorithms designed to detect their activity, or is it just for the heck of it?
I considered doing a moderation as a service startup a couple years ago. I didn't end up doing it because came to the conclusion that global communities aren't the future. I think platforms supporting more silo'd communities that make and enforce their own rules are how it will look. Discord and Twitch use this model, and while they have their problems, the problems look quite different from the ones outlined here.
I'm not sure what your point is. You could replace the VLA with malloc in that example and exhaust your entire VM space.

In the rare cases where VLAs might prove useful, e.g. a vector math library (IIRC, a major reason for VLAs was to help FORTRAN programmers transition to C), this difference absolutely does matter in reality.
This isn’t surprising. People in work environments are just people. Most of them might be below average intelligence.

What’s terrible is that no one else at Amazon helped to fix this situation? I understand most HR people are toxic. But no executive or anyone higher up thought this situation was wrong? Absolutely no one wanted to stick their neck out to do the right thing? This tells you everything you need to know about the corporate environment.

In tangentially related news, I have a huge, 250+ year-old black walnut tree here in Seattle. It bears one walnut a year, and this time a local chipmunk got it before I could. He then carried it up next to my second story deck and tormented me with it while I watched helplessly a roof away.
app.AppImage used up all the RAM on the machine, and the kernel OOMkilled sshd. Now it's time to roll back.

Tanner Greer actually has an entire article on the necessity and difficulty of immersing oneself in the discourse: https://scholars-stage.org/the-education-china-hands-need-bu...

He's also definitely read "Governance of China", the book series droptablemain suggests he should read (he references it occasionally https://scholars-stage.org/?s=Governance%20of%20China ) Suffice to say he knows his stuff.
I would be more apt to share this opinion if not for the fact that he says he specifically warned Amazon that his wife had brain cancer when they began trying to recruit him.
I'm 97% sure it's due to SEC regulation for financial advisors when disclosing information that could be invested on.
Similarly, a pack rat once stripped all of the wire insulation foreword of the firewall and used it to built a nest in the engine bay of my dad's truck. Rather rude surprise to find when opening the hood to figure out why it wouldn't turn over.
I had squirrels put black walnuts inside my engine, including the space in the hood so that they rolled out when I opened it to see the engine covered in nut pieces. I think they were responsible for the wiring issues I had with that car. Also found several boxes filled with black walnuts in my garage. I hate red squirrels.

Good! Apple should be pitching beneficial technologies like this.
Quite a few years ago, I spent many hours making my way up the support tiers at Time Warner in Brooklyn to resolve some connection issues (cable modem). I patiently waded through each tier as they repeatedly asked me to reset my modem and my router and restart my computer and check every cable, etc. The same things I'd already done before (as an on-site tech myself, at the time) and as the previous support person asked me to repeat.

Finally I made it to tier three, with someone who seemed obviously competent. Within about a minute, he checked the power usage on my modem and then historically, and knew immediately that if I moved my modem to another outlet, it would work.

It did. Never had that type of connection issue again.
I'm not sure how News Corp is earning revenue from free to air tv stations it doesn't own. I tried googling it and can't find anything so maybe you could enlighten me on this?

As for your other points. If you try to stand back and be objective, the fact that 60% of newspaper readers are forced to read 23% of newspapers should indicate that Newscorp is the only company offering them the choice of media they desire. This would indicate it is the other media companies that are attempting to corner the market and push their views onto people.

The situation becomes even clearer when you look at who is being targeted by whom. Newscorp media online is all paid for and pay walled. They target mature audiences and the rich. Their competition on the other hand offers free products, and they advertise relentlessly on Facebook and other social media. They intentionally target young and groups who are more vulnerable to manipulation.

Finally, a conversation with someone who reads the ABC, or other government products is enough to close the case. These people are always full of extremely hateful, emotional, and even sometimes violent rhetoric (just look at some of the comments on here). Meanwhile if you have a conversation with someone who reads a Newscorp product it will always be fact based and unemotional, and they will almost always be older and more mature.
Also, to optimise data rate at a given power budget, you want to choose freq such that `d rate/d freq` is zero, which (assuming I didn't screw up the math) goes like:

0 = d/df rate
= d/df (log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2) * freq)
= d/df log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2) * freq + log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2) * d/df freq
= 1/(ln2 power/0.5 hbar freq^2) * d/dx (power/0.5 hbar freq^2) * freq + log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2)
= 0.5 hbar freq^2 / ln2 power * power / 0.5 hbar * -2 freq^-3 * freq + log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2)
= 0.5 hbar freq^2 / ln2 / 0.5 hbar * -2 freq^-3 * freq + log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2)
= freq^2 / ln2 * -2 freq^-2 + log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2)
= log(power/0.5 hbar freq^2) - 2/ln2
so
log(power / 0.5 hbar freq^2) = 2/ln2
power / 0.5 hbar freq^2 = 2^(2/ln2)
freq^2 0.5 hbar / power = 2^(-2/ln2)
freq^2 = 2^(1-2/ln2) power / hbar
freq = 2^(1/2-1/ln2) sqrt(power / hbar)

So (again assuming I got that math right), the optimal single photon frequency to use (in the quantum noise floor regime) scales with the square root of your power budget. However, at one milliwatt it's 1600THz or 187nm, and only increases from there, so for practical purposes you probably just want to use the bluest light your fiber can carry, and worry more about classical noise.
I don't think it's that hard for non web developers. The rule is commtext { color: black; }. I think that adding an option (like showdead) would be better, as it doesn't require people to take the time to find out by themselves. Again, your comparaison doesn't really hold.

Let me guess...you have an app like Accessibe's that the shop owner installs, which basically just puts an overlay, but it doesn't really solve the underlying problem and the shop owner still gets sued by the ADA troll farms.

The answer is no, this isn't an overlay product. Tenably updates the Shopify themes underlying code.

> To answer the question though, since Apple Pay now works almost everywhere, my ID is one of the only cards I still need to carry. If I had a digital ID, I don't think I'd need to carry a wallet anymore.

Where do you live? I currently live in California so only carry ID when driving or (more recently) when planning to enter certain buildings, like federal buildings or airports. Otherwise I don't bother and it hasn't been a problem for me.

Sometimes people do ask for ID (or an SSN) but when I politely say "I'm sorry I don't have one" they typically want to do business with me so magically don't need any info.

I wonder why they obscured the URLs in that way. It seems so stupid, given how trivial it is to decode base64.
They're both at fault since each side expects the other to catch those who fall into this unfortunate situation.

The government should provide for people in this situation so that if you lost your job due to the circumstances, it shouldn't be a double-whammy that will sink the rest of your life.

In the absence of a government safety net, the company should pick up that slack if they value the employee more than the cost of hiring and training someone new. In fact, it may be in their best interest regardless, because loyalty among your employees is a very expensive asset.

If two outfielders are running to catch a fly ball and then both stop at the last second because they each think the other one had it and the ball hits the ground, I'd consider them both at fault.

The Fed's mandate includes keeping unemployment low, and its main tool for that (lowering interest rates) has the side effect of inflating asset prices. But what else can they do? The alternative (fiscal policy) is congress's responsibility and outside their control. If congress decided to take action they would adjust accordingly, in the mean time they are doing what they are officially tasked with with the tools that they have, even if that may not be ideal.

I have kids, and I also definitely agree that it's better if lead is not in there at all. The whole lead in gasoline story is ridiculous and traumatizing.

I'm just not sold on the idea of testing/researching products and getting rid of them based on what I've learned these last 10 minutes. It seems to me that it would be multiple orders of magnitude more important to test your vegetables if you are a lead-minimizer?

And what about soil? E.g. in context of playgrounds. Soil is 15-40ppm Pb. Really bad toy from 90s is 5000ppm. Exposure surface * time * ppm. Based on that equation it seems that testing playground soil would be much more important.

Assuming your lead-heavy plate completely disappears after 10 years of every day usage just ponder how much of it ended up in your belly compared to dishwasher cycles. If 1% of it disappeared, and you ate 1% of what dishwasher did, then it's equivalent to eating the dish weight of carrots during these 10 years.

I have no idea why I'm defending leaded dishware here, I do not recommend anybody keep their leaded anything based on erroneous math and data from some random HN comment. I would just like to learn if there is something I'm missing that would change my understanding of the problem.
My wife told me about this custom when we moved into a new house and found a small bee hive in a hollow of an olive tree. We made it a habit to give them updates about various events that occurred and it became an important bonding event. She is now critically ill and I am not looking forward to sharing her death with our bees, but I'll do it as what I hope will be an important part of closure and dealing with loss. The bees themselves have been doing quite well and have spun off swarms several times. They are docile non-Africanized bees and I hope they will continue to keep making more bees for a long time!

(approximately) Cloudflare provides a proxy service that you'd use to access your B2 data from home or other cloud without paying for egress.

They can do this because it costs almost nothing to move data between B2 and Cloudflare, and then from Cloudflare to almost anywhere.
Moving data from B2 to most other places on the internet likely costs them more because Backblaze isn't in a position to negotiate adventagous peering agreements with ISPs.
