Somewhat relatedly, I’ve been wondering for a while now why so many people here are so intensely, emotionally against this tech (and consequently why so many mediocre articles on the topic with emotionally charged titles are upvoted to the front page).

Plenty of different arguments are offered by the commentariat, some of which have merit. But whether the stated reasons are environmental issues, political implications, scams, ransomware, or illicit trade, the one commonality seems anger and desire to ban and destroy all crypto.

A commenter recently stated candidly that they simply feel envy. They’re bitter about their bro-type friends and acquaintances getting rich overnight and flaunting their wealth. It clicked for me that HN commenters are more likely to personally know such people and feel resentful towards them.

That may sound like ad hominem, but I’m not addressing the arguments (many of which I agree with). I’m speculating about the reasons for the disproportionate level of ire directed against crypto on this forum, and personal resentment feels like a good candidate.

The reason I even care is that I’m hoping to read (even if not always necessarily participate in) higher quality discussions on this topic. The tech is here whether we like it or not. It might fail horribly (as many here seem to be hoping), but what definitely won’t help are the “I hope this Ponzi scam dies soon” one-liners on almost every article on the topic.
I tried to start a travel company once. It didn't even get started at all because it I begin to plan the first week of Sept, 2001. Sometimes bad timing is as bad as a bad economy. In retrospect what I was wanting to do was impossible anyway; building a search engine for vacations using raw airfare/hotels/cars data + geographical info (I had experience with reservation tech and high volume search). Oh well, I never tried again.
The tracked increase year over year of IQ over the course of a few decades is largely attributed to wider access to education, I believe.
If I can easily consider my friend's house as a place to sleep a night when I need it as well as I do with my relative's houses while travelling - that is one of crucial signs. Another one is similar hobbies when we are helping each other - this sign might be useful even for online friends you have not seen offline. If one of signs is true - this is my friend; both true - this is my best friend.
> Being generally intelligent and having general problem solving skills is less and less important.

TBH looking at how the future is going to look like (no not utopia), those general skills seem to be more and more important on the contrary.

Being “too specialized” will hurt society in the end.
> I'd trust the algos more than the traditional system

LUNA being an algo stable helped with nothing. Do Kwon erratically bought BTC at a peak and during this attack, it was "sold" but is now /unaccounted/ for. Further, they minted more LUNA and increased circulating supply from 350k to 7T in a few days.

None of this is algorithmic, but purely (and messily) human-operated.
It's good you live somewhere where hiding your sexuality is not an issue.

But, for argument's sake let's say you can be put in jail or killed for your sexuality. You want to buy something from a specific store that caters exclusively to your sexual preferences. The CC company sells that to your government (or another entity wanting to enforce that), then you are arrested or killed, or you family harassed.
> Access to education is currently the most conclusive factor explaining disparities in intelligence, according to Ritchie. In a separate study that has not been released, he and his colleagues looked at existing research in an effort to demonstrate that staying in school longer directly equates to higher IQ scores.

> But more research is needed to better understand other environmental factors thought to be linked to intelligence. Robin Morris, a professor of psychology at Kings College in London who was not involved in Ritchie’s research, suggests that traditional measures of intelligence, such as the IQ test, might be outmoded in today’s fast-paced world of constant technological change.

> “In my view, we need to recognize that as time changes and people are exposed to different intellectual experiences, such as changes in the use of technology, for example social media, the way intelligence is expressed also changes. Educational methods need to adapt to such changes,” Morris said.
Show HN: Kubernetes Introductory Course
Hi All,

I've created a Free Kubernetes Learning course that I hope some of you will find useful, especially with Kubecon next week. Created this based on personal frustrations that I had when learning Kubernetes at first.

I found that some courses/technical resources gave a theoretical viewpoint of Kubernetes but didn't demonstrate these components directly in use. I also found that particular entities like the pause container were often overlooked, even though they were clearly shown in the video/course terminal output.

For this course I go with a slightly different approach. We configure our container runtime, setup a simple CNI driver and install Kubernetes. Then, we explore general usage. After that, we uncouple each component and re-attempt to run the same examples. As we do this we see where it does/doesn't work and bring online each component with an explanation of what it is and why it's important.

I Attended Kubecon back in 2019 on a Diversity scholarship. I have a type of Motor Neurone Disease which fortunately unlike most, is not terminal but it affects my walking (I use Nordic Walking poles for extra stability). At the time, I pledged as part of my application to make a free Kubernetes course and to give back to the community.

It took me longer than I anticipated but, here it is.

Thanks for your time.

I agree and disagree. There are arguments in favor of both sides. Look at what happened in software development alone. Where you were only expected to push basic code before, many employers now expect you to be a flexible mini-IT department on top of having the social skills to communicate with customers and managers. At the same time, they specialized other things to a degree you're now a "dotnet developer", "java developer" etc., as if specializing in that direction was ever the goal of software development / computer science.
Interviews are definitely two way.

That's why instead of complaining that companies don't interview the way you prefer them to ("interviewers refuse to listen"), you should just let them be the "incompetent" teams that you believe them to be, so that you can tell whether they're "incompetent" and decide to take an offer from a company that does things the way you like.

Then everyone is happy!
I do think it is different. In fact I think that IOCP predates the scheduler activation work.

Certainly a proactor event loop (uring iocp) is different from a reactor (poll) from an usage point of view, but you can implement one in term of the other.

Scheduler activation is different and it is just a way for the kernel to notify userspace of all rescheduling events (including running out of the scheduling quantum or taking a page fault).
I'd pay for this, if it also applied to other google products. In particular, google maps has become unpleasant to use lately, with a lot of extra stuff drawn on top of the actual map. I've switched to apple maps, for this reason. I wonder how many others have done the same.

The only thing crypto does is to make these things available to regular people who aren't rich already. They're happening either way.
I see this as just more hyper focusing in a way. Now I have even less time for exploratory pursuits, my "role" has expanded and thus takes more of my focus. So I have to think about more things, but it's all confined to the expectations placed on me by my job.
Most scammers targeting your retired parents know how: play store or other vouchers you can buy in the super market. In Europe a standard free IBAN money transfer probably does not lead to much spying either. The biggest use case for this kind of privacy crypto privides is the 'freedom' to do things not legal in your country. I am actually happy to live in a world with limited freedom at times although there is certainly room for improvement ( I do not consider crypto currency as one )

I'm sure there is lots of propaganda at play, but it doesn't change the basic numbers of Russia having over three times Ukraine's population and nearly ten times their GDP, also a much larger military with a much larger military budget. With all those advantages you shouldn't need excellence to secure victory just basic level competence, yet look what's happening.
How do you plan on existing without a universe, without any laws of physics? Ownership of land extends into the ground and into the sky. You are owning a slice of the universe. The earth is conveniently located near a nuclear fusion reactor the energy it radiates is embodied in the value of land on earth. The value of land on Pluto is very low. Nobody wants to live there. The fossil or nuclear fuels you dig out to power your car or fridge are ultimately born from land. Energy is derived from what is below our feet and extraction rights are literally the ownership of land.

>How is income tax ultimately borne by land? Sales tax? Inheritance tax? Gasoline tax? Corporate income tax on corporations like SpaceX, Goldman Sachs, and Intel?

Gasoline must be refined from crude oil which is extracted from land.

SpaceX needs aluminium, steel and rocket fuel which all must be extracted from land.

Goldman Sachs just manages incomes derived from land.

Intel obviously depends on an uncountable number of chemical compounds derived from the land
This appears to me to be the same matching process as used in the Intentional Naming System.

I spend way more time in YouTube than in search. If anything it should be the other way around.

There is the argument that many shopping decisions start with the search, but not sure if there is an order of magnitude difference.
The first step is to run the same test. The second step is to work out why the results are different (if they are), which might include teaching styles, focus issues, malnutrition, or many other things.
So two hypotheses: Generation X was a generation of unparalleled genius effortlessly surpassing their idiot ancestors before who merely built the modern world and their children who merely consumed and produced vastly more written content than ever before whilst playing with increasingly complex abstractions on computers, or IQ test comparisons between dissimilar populations don't really mean very much, because the "quotient" is a ranking mechanism for solving a certain type of paper puzzle, not an actual thing.
In france, kids in the 50s could write with a nib/ink by 6, before starting primary school. We are lowering our education requirements since the 70s. Basically since the rise of "international governing education", see failure modern maths and global reading.

And while IQ is not too much related to education, we let kids do what ever, when ever for a so call peace of mind, so yeah a kid who is never challenged can't have broad skills.
I would dare to say that video games are saving IQ scores but for all the wrong reasons (fast pattern recognition and spacial movement related tests).

To be fair its just software and they can increase the block count at any point if people agree to the upgrade.
The average can vary from a given sample set over time and be used as a comparison. For a statement like "IQs are going up/down" you could probably get away with simply monitoring the average over time.

If you start digging around to see that you're fairly comparing the groups then you'll almost always be able to split hairs. Most statistics outside of a theoretical context are flawed if you poke them hard enough.
I thought IQ tests were pseudoscientific anyway?

If the number doesnt have any rigorous meaning then who cares if it changes, up or down, could mean anything.

The exact proximity of earth to the sun is what gives the land on earth value. In fact, this implies that humans did none of the work, they just took what was already there and labeled it their own.
There's a flipside to this viewpoint: it's often (though not always) helpful to read and know the original formulation of a concept. Even if there is a better subsequent development, the original statement is the idea as presented. More importantly, for ideas which have literally changed our understanding, they represent the border between the before and after worlds. Often much of what makes such explanations so foreign is that we come to them with our "after" minds, already fertilised with the ideas contained, rather than the beginner's mind, or the prior-belief-system's indoctrination, which is how contemporary readers would have arrived at the material.

Much derivative treatment of great ideas is itself not particularly good or clear, so readers and students are left with the problem of having to hunt down good sources. Better to specifically call these out if you know them rather than do cast a broad aspersion on the original authors' treatments.

This question arises often in the study of philosophy, as well as other fields, and though there are some original authors who are notoriously prickly (Hegel, by most accounts, Kant can be difficult), there are a surprising number who are clear, and even fun and amusing to read.

I'd say don't be afraid of original sources". If they prove difficult, look for recommended better treatments. But if you can* rely on originals.
There's no such thing as not putting yourself "at risk" when it comes to finance, or life in general. Even a hypothetical form of money that was perfectly stable puts you at risk of not benefiting from economic growth - the continuous refinement that happens unless we all just stop showing up for work.

Ultimately, this is a philosophical argument about human behavior that mathematics can't model, because our very beliefs shape the outcome. In other words: Dude trust me.

> Trying to go against a nation that most Russians perceive as brotherly

Brotherly, but not in equal sense. More like stupid little brother that can't take care of himself.

It is widely known that Russians, for some reason, consider themselves superior out of all Eastern Europe Slavs.
When they say "founder", they are talking about building BILLION+ dollar companies. They are talking about someone who is going to give up everything else in life if necessary to win at building a billion dollar company.

They are not talking about someone who is going to build a company with 5M in profit a year and live a balanced life. Almost by definition they are talking about an insane person.

Personally, I don't think it is a insult for someone to look at me and say. "That guy seems like he spends a lot of time with his family and traveling and staying healthy, he isn't good founder material since he is so busy with those other things"

Luckily, we can easily test how much IQ matters by looking at the relationship between IQ and health, wealth, educational achievement and so on.

And it turns out that IQ mean quite a lot, no matter which way you believe the causality goes.
Can we stop it with this absurd fear mongering already? There's millions of EVs on the road now. I have had my Leaf for 8 years and keep seeing this same tired FUD online. The incidents of fires from electric cars are extremely low.

The scooters and other cheap vehicles you cite are a separate problem from just being Lithium-Ion batteries. They're cheap procucts with bad electronics and poor protection of the battery. Gasoline powered products of such low quality would be similar fire hazards, if not worse.

Lithium-Ion batteries work fantastic for EVs. My 8 year old, 50k+ mile Leaf still has its origial battery and it still has 100% capacity. Something anti-Lithium-Ion FUD pushers told me was literally impossible.
> I think we're realizing that the marketing operation was 70 years of "Russia is scary strong". Reality is Russia is really bad at fighting armies and great at brutalizing civilians.

Whether it was a marketing campaign or not the USSR military was scary strong until it began its collapse along with the union in the 80s.
> These things are not drugs but a new part of a human body. Like pants. Or even better, like glasses.

The big difference is that glasses are a clear net positive. It is possible for phones to be a net positive but a phone is multipurpose and I doubt most of there users prioritize it as an educational device.

Sadly behavior like mindless scrolling is all to common, and companies know and measure success by sucking in more of there users minutes. The goal of these companies isn’t to maximize productive and meaningful minutes. The goal is to get any minutes at all. Sadly those mostly seem to come from the more drug-like use cases.
IQ tests can be trained for and gamed, at the very least.
There's still long-term brand value in just being the biggest ad delivery machine that can bring eyeballs to your ads from any potential customer group.

Once you remove a portion of those eyeballs, you might make more money short-term, but long-term you might end up in difficult conversations with large advertisers.
This is from 2018 to be clear.
Yeah I'm pretty sure that's the definition of the test.
in your case docker is the bad choice to begin with. Docker isn't made for this. its an fancy chroot. if you want to ship it to your clients with docker, seperate the stuff that runs on the client from what runson an kubernetes or an server and give instructions how to run it.
if everything must run on the client forget docker. you can have multiple processes without docker.
a) Well, now that we have realized the truth, I'm sure everybody is going to be on board with reducing the NATO military budgets and dedicating the resources to more productive endeavors.

b) No doubt about that, starting by invading.

c) I'm not sure about the manpower advantage. What are the numbers? And Ukraine is fighting in its own territory with unlimited intelligence and supply support from the richest countries in the world. We shouldn't forget about that.
Interestingly after just digging into this a bit more it seems that when considering this principle in multiple studies measured since the 2000s, the most successful predictor for this power law is if the internet property is a form of community. Specifically in those cases there was a strong 1-9-90% rule in effect.

1% of the users were responsible for all generated content in terms of creation.
9% were responsible for editing if they had the privilege to edit. Perhaps “replying” would fit in this segment.
90% lurkers.

This is a stronger version of the Pareto principle. It’s interesting metaphysically and perhaps physically when considering musical theory, intervals, and how boundary conditions seem to work pretty consistently despite seemingly unrelated things.

I digress though, back to my earlier point. It seems if these laws hold up then there is a strong potential that much of the users who are active are in fact “avatars of creation.”

It’s certainly been mentioned that the internet has felt like this over the recent years by more fringe echo chambers. However given the backdrop of progress, it certainly gives more credit to the idea of a more nuanced form of the dead internet theory reminiscent of “society of the spectacle.” What is the said progress I allude to? Well, “NLP” of course. The most amount of progress in machine learning and AI is specifically within language models. Given that the availability of building such automation tools to conduct memetic warfare doesn’t even require sophisticated language models, (manpower, shills, some creative spam) one may have to wonder for how long oneself may have been talking to themselves on the internet? In a way it forms an “imaginary great firewall” for every user. Interacting with avatars built on your predictors, with seemingly no truth vector for the utility function and it’s behavior modification goal (alignment functions). Weird. I think we are past the smoke alarm stage. The evidence of ability and active training is self-evident since 2016 on 4chan and elsewhere.
I would only consider the lack of grit unfair if you have passion for achieving a specific goal and you cannot achieve it due to the lack of grit. Is that possible? If you deeply want to achieve something, don't you automatically have the grit to achieve it?

Lack of grit should be more a problem for people who see startups as a job where they are team-leads and they need some level of perseverance to overcome obstacles.

Still, why shouldn't grit be trainable? It's just that VC make money by selecting founders with grit. In a sense, they corner the market by investing into the best. Why should they destroy their moat by flooding the market with viable founders?
A future government that is analogous to Nazi Germany wants to put certain groups into a concentration camp ("sexual deviants", religious minorities, you take your pick). Better hope there isn't a CC history that shows you buying sex toys or religious items in the last 30 years.

Sure, in the western part of the world, you could think that this is paranoid, but depending on where you are in the world, and what minorities you belong to the risk is real.

Heck, even in the US with the way the SCOTUS is going, this may become relevant sooner than you'd expect.
