You're right, I take a more aggressive stance on this sort of thing than others might. I'm also known to say "if you can't afford to pay your workers a living wage you can't afford to do business" of many retail/service environments.

"But I need to make money, too" isn't an excuse. It wants to be, but it is not. I would agree that the biggest offender is the predatory model, but I would say that the way to do this _correctly_ is to do it free/OSS with a patreon. Let folks who use it pay what they think it's worth.

The problem is that the incentive systems don't align. Someone elsewhere mentioned that this seemed to build dependency in its users (an anti-pattern in therapeutics (and elsewhere, but let's be specific to therapeutics for now)). With something like Patreon, the incentives are much closer aligned: the app _has_ to do good in order to well, because otherwise nobody will pay for it.

Again, they (the developers) could also put their time & energy into enacting systemic change.

This is tough because it's less a matter of tactics, but awareness. Reading about Jews radicalized to martyrdom by the inquisition doesn't exactly give you a hands-on toolkit to address the issue of fundamentalism in society today.

It does, however, serve as a reminder that folks who dig their heels in when presented with a new development that contradicts the familiar - myself included - are going through a shared, relatable process and the end result of that is always something new. It's inherently going to be its own kind of advancement or progress, even if the intention is preservation of the status quo. That leads to thoughts like, "What does this person want to preserve?", "What new development could come out of this and is it useful to consider?", and "What does this person fear this new idea will disrupt?" Those are handy thoughts to keep in mind when trying to reach a common understanding of the change at hand.

"The fundamentalist mind" isn't an alien, foreign reaction held by a few disillusioned radicals, but a totally normal and relatable coping mechanism (albeit taken to a horrific extreme in some rare cases). That serves as a basis to talk about it constructively, IMO, whether I'm dealing with a new client who wants to change everything (but without changing anything, naturally) or my uncle who proudly shares misinformation from Facebook that supports his comfort with "the way things used to be." This includes questioning my own motivations when I catch myself jumping through hoops to make my old beliefs or practices work in a new context.

I don't see discussions on natural immunity being censored on youtube et al. Yet our administrators in power play talk to the hand on the subject. There is plenty of scientific acknowledgement of the relative risks based on comorbidities including age, obesity and diabetes. Yet those in power proclaim mandate without differentiation. The strongest arguments towards mandating against someones will seem to hinge on ease of administration. No thanks on that!

I am commenting here, because I want to save this "And if.." list, because it is beautiful in its simplicity and yet we see it played out over and over again.
People don't venture in the middle because it's complicated and scary for many people due to the skill requirements. It only starts to feel safe to play there when you have experience with development at both ends of the spectrum because you likely won't have the support of tools which are intended to run there.

Further, it's a compromise that is difficult to explain and justify to management. If they are risk averse then they won't want to move far from the safety of the frameworks at either end of the spectrum.

If you are a developer of frameworks, it also seems advantageous to go to one end of the spectrum because it's easier to reason about the problem space. When you target the middle there starts to be more variations in how to handle it best. It's really the only place to go though, if folks really want to innovate and provide better experiences for all.

No, no. You have to give a source! Like CNN, or MotherJones! Until then there's no way to know the truth about whether ivermectin blocks this protein or not. I mean there isn't even really a right answer to that question, until we hear it from reliable sources!
My source was a cursory look at https://coinranking.com/markets but I admittedly could dig deeper to verify this.

I'm so happy to see awareness around the negative mental health effects of social media. You also don't get all that much from it, back when I was heavy into social media I was miserable, online dating never brought me a worthwhile person. The rare times I'd actually meet a real person, it was almost certain to be someone who was 30 plus and not interested in working.

Deleted all my online dating profiles, limited my social media usage and I was making fantastic friends and meeting amazing girls in real life. This was very good for my mental health, during some of my really dark moments I'd spend hours per day on Reddit and Facebook arguing with other angry people. We don't need to be angry, you don't need to argue.

You don't need to give the Match group $60 a month to chat with bots. You can still wave at someone at a concert and ask if they want drinks after the show.
I do agree that (seemingly paradoxically) privacy regulation is the key to preventing overbearing state and corporate spying.

The paper actually has a few nice things to say on this. Among other passages:

> Economics cannot be ignored. One way that democratic societies protect their citizens against the ever-present danger of government intrusion is by making search expensive. In the US, there are several mechanisms that do this, including the onerous process of applying for a wiretap warrant (which for criminal cases must be essentially a “last resort” investigative tool) and imposition of requirements such as “minimization” (law enforcement not listening or taping if the communication does not pertain to criminal activity). These raise the cost of wiretapping.

> By contrast, a general CSS system makes all material cheaply accessible to government agents. It eliminates the requirement of physical access to the devices. It can be configured to scan any file on every device.

I think the economics-based approach is very valuable here, especially because it is comparable across forms of government.
> choosing to work on the right things is much more important than being a fast programmer

Choosing to work on the right things is completely orthogonal to being fast though.

> Sometimes you need to spend more time thinking about a problem, do a bit of a "market study", or gather more data.

You can do this even if you are a fast coder. Only difference is how long it takes to test things, build MVP's and show them to potential users. MVP's are a great way to better understand what to build or do market studies, so I don't see why this goes against being fast.

Nomad is very lightweight. It also does nothing near as much as what Kubernetes does. But if all you need is to schedule containers (or other binaries) it does so quite nicely.

You generally want to pair it with Consul (as Cloudflare has done) to get service discovery. Consul is also quite lightweight.
I'm at an absolute loss here. You started off by saying that the company should adopt a free model. You've since spent several comments vaguely insinuating that you were saying something else, without explaining what that is. What's the point of this?

Also, if you're not trolling with your absurd histrionics about people quoting you, then, well, I wish you luck in the world.
What I've realized about Facebook is that there is no way I can convey a really convey anything really meaningful in such a short post.

What I started doing is writing a quarterly e-mail newsletter to about 80 of my closest friends and family about details thoughts I've had about life, travel, and personal experiences.

Some friends have told me I should write a blog and put all my thoughts out there on the Internet, but I think this kind of defeats the whole purpose to share something intimate to a smaller crowd that the general Internet will never see.
Being anti-facebook & anti-google is popular in media circles because they are direct competitors in the advertising space that are eating their lunch.

> But if you choose not to use the platform they will never have the power

It is far too late for that. Facebook is too big.

I'm guessing you don't know that there are countries in the world where Facebook is the only internet, am I right? Free Basic is a service that they offered with free internet in poor countries, but Facebook is the only internet. It has changed a little as governments have realized this is a problem but it is still the dominant form of internet in some places.

There are 2.8 billion monthly users, but only 200 million are from the US, yet it is a US company. [1]

> You just move the power from Facebook to the government, it doesn't solve the core problem.

You are assuming Facebook and the government are the same thing. (US I presume.) They are not the same. A government isn't a corporation. This is a totally different discussion.

For work I can totally understand this trade-off but this fact makes k8s pretty much a non-starter on side projects or personal sites because running a small cluster on small nodes leaves you so little headroom for your code that it's just not worth it.

No. No, no no.

This was legitimate a bug that they immediately fixed when I reported it... There is no legitimate reason to expose the master JNLP port to the internet, ever. The chart did not have a configuration option for this, it just exposed the JNLP port as part of the same k8s Service that exposed the web port. (The JNLP port is for jenkins workers to phone back home to the main instance, it's not for external use.)

"Just read the docs" is not an answer to a chart setup which is just plain broken.
I don't think YT or Reddit are any where near as insidious as FB, Twitter, and TikTok.

YouTube's feed basically shows me what I am subscribed to which is interesting shit I am legit interested in. I don't see any of my friends talking about their amazing lives, or any political BS, at all. The comments section is a 3rd class citizen in much of their UI and less toxic than friends all piling in and arguing about crap.

Reddit is global conversations, the topics and comments can be toxic but it's not an echochamber by design. I will say though, Reddit does make me sad sometimes so I have to work at it to use it in a healthy way.

Twitter, Tiktok, and unfortunately more and more Instagram are also sludge pools IMO.

I don't think the author is making that mistake. He worked on the Eve language, whose entire ethos was that the notion behind Fred Brooks' "No Silver Bullet" -- that there is no "one" change to development tolling/methodology that could produce a 10x speedup in productivity -- isn't really true anymore. In "Out of the Tar Pit", Mosely and Marks argue that today there is so much incidental complexity (from poorly designed or ill-fitting tools) slowing down our work, that removing it would result in those 10x gains Brooks argues can't be achieved in NSB.

The question then is how do we remove that incidental complexity? Eve tried to do this through programming language design, combining Prolog-like semantics with a relational database and modern web technologies. In some scenarios it really is at least 10x more productive than other languages, letting you do very sophisticated things in a few hours or days that could take experienced developers a literal week or more in other languages.

The author is musing here about how much he could get done as long as his tools get out of the way. i.e. how much more productive could he be if he only had to deal with the necessary complexity of the problem, rather than being mired in all the incidental complexity of the tooling. What if a programmer could express themselves as freely as a writer can? Where typing and imagination are the only barriers between your mind and expression. It's a nice fantasy future.

Yes there is a lot of thinking and doing research in programming, any experienced programmer knows this. I think if you look at this developer's history you would agree he is an experienced developer who knows these things to be true.

(edit: also, I think the author addresses your criticism directly here: "When I think about speed I think about the whole process - researching, planning, designing, arguing, coding, testing, debugging, documenting etc. Often when I try to convince someone to get faster at one of those steps, they'll argue that the others are more important so it's not worthwhile trying to be faster. Eg choosing the right idea is more important than coding the wrong idea really quickly. But that's totally conditional on the speed of everything else!")

Edit: Also, saying Trump suggested "injecting bleach" is a sign someone has been subjected to propaganda. You will not find that statement, and when it is pointed out, the person will backtrack claiming they obviously didn't mean it literally, but that must have been what he meant when he used the term "disinfectant."
I think they're shifting the goalposts by basically increasing the density of panels per area well beyond 100%. They're extracting x% of the energy in the light and letting 100-x-y% of the light pass through (y being nonzero), then the light reaches another layer which extracts …

It is amazing, by far the best Science Fiction TV show in years. But it isn't really doing justice to the books, more using them as a lose focus point to spin their own story. They take things that are mentioned as a side note in a chapter and do a whole storyline of it.

Which is actually what I hoped for, since a) the format of the books is impossible to translate closely to a TV show or movie and b) Asimov is definitely a bit high and low in his writing. The first two books of Foundation are amazing, afterwards it gets quite meandering.

My main criticism would be the mystification of Psychohistory, which is a very serious flaw, but I'm willing to overlook it due to seriously lacking good science fiction entertainment.
And after 12 years, what percent of women with PhDs are a. still in academia and b. tenured or working in tenure-track jobs?

"While women represent just over half (52.9%) of Assistant Professors and are near parity (46.4%) among Associate Professors, they accounted for barely over a third (34.3%) of Professors in 2018." https://www.catalyst.org/research/women-in-academia/

2019: "female tenured associate professors are fewer in number now than when my colleagues and I began looking at the data in 2003." https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2019/...

The Catalyst research doesn't address how many are no longer in academia, but the above cited Brookings article says, "Women experienced disproportionately high rates of leaving academia by their second or third semesters."
Yes, you can be up and running with a multi-machine lab install in a couple hours, even if you're rolling the component installations and configuration yourself. In K8s production cloud workloads, this is usually offloaded to GKE/EKS/Kops, but the equivalent Kubernetes manual installation is appreciably more heavy-handed.

Heh. Contributing to open source is....interesting. Pine64 really seems to only do the hardware aspect, everything else is up to others.

I guess I would ask: how do you want to contribute? Is there a specific niche you want to help fix? That's how I got involved, I wanted MMS (and later visual voicemail) for my Pinephone.. Or perhaps there's a specific project you like that needs help, or theres a particular bug that annoys you in a FOSS project. Those may be the best ways to get involved to help.

Truly a bizarre statement for Tether to make. are they counting bank accounts in other people’s names? How would that affect the question at hand.

This sounds like junkie logic.
The real head-scratcher is how, up until now, paying $16,000 a year to a cosplayer was considered a responsible use of taxpayer funds.
