I was pretty specific about features I'd like to see and problems I could potentially run into with this product. Quite a bit more than a "harumph".
Interesting that I had not even heard of this. My previous client was connected to the types of people who were constantly relaying garbage like this, and unfortunately he would pass most of them to me for review. Almost always I would have to explain that they were almost certainly scams or utterly foolish nonsense ventures. (Usually they were intentionally malfeasant, not naive foolishness.)

The one that blew my mind was Nasgo, a nonsense fake "mining" system which was clearly trying to confuse people with Nasdaq. A few years ago they put on massive performances and hosted hundreds of guests. It was obvious to anyone who was not a greedy non-technical fool that it was a scam, but greed really does something to people. You just could not tell people the problems of this thing, because their ears were closed. So looking now, I see in 2019 the coin was theoretically worth 98 cents. Now it is worth about 1/10th of a cent. It was an outright scam of grand scale, with fireworks and conventions and such, and the people who created it surely made off with millions.

I would guess that there are at least 10 or more similar stories for each year or two. There was the most famous Onecoin and so many that followed.
I wish Kubernetes was mentioned somewhere. Presumably a company KubeSail builds this atop Kubernetes? Yes no maybe so?
How much of this is due to the US military spending the past generation dunking on goatherds? I imagine the pattern on your uniform is entirely irrelevant when up against an equivalent technology adversary with proper artillery and air power. On the other hand having the guy with the AK be 20% more likely to miss his first shot sounds like it’s worth doing some research on your clothing’s appearance.

Speaking of, is traditional garb at all effective from a tactical standpoint?

APM Help | REMOTE in the America's timezones | https://www.apmhelp.com
APM Help is reimagining property management systems enabling property owners and management companies to be secure in knowing they are always 100% compliant and up-to-date with their books and finances. We are the tech-enabled "back office in a box" that eliminates the tedium and grunt work of accounting and maintenance coordination tasks.

The whole company was remote-first from the beginning several years before the pandemic. As a result we have a well honed async work culture that prioritizes transparency and communication over layers of bureaucracy. We believe in engineers doing engineering things and collaborating directly. We don't do Scrum — we pace ourselves along the lines of 37Signal's 6-week cycles.

Looking for a senior engineer with a focus on the backend to join our polyglot team. We wrangle a lot of data and business workflows across many boundaries and keeping everything organized is our main engineering challenge! Not sexy but still a significant challenge that takes systems thinking and creativity to keep from coding ourselves into unmanageable messes.

Tech stack is Typescript, Postgres and EdgeDB, SvelteKit, serverless, etc – all in a couple of monorepos.

My name is David and I am the engineering team lead. Feel free to reach out to me directly at dave at apmhelp dot com!

With enough thumbs on the scale, you can support any conclusion. In this case, neglecting all public subsidies and neglecting CAPEX.

It is furthermore a snapshot. Policy for construction needs to consider the future, and renewables cost is still falling fast.

I'm definitely not contemplating becoming a doctor, but I'm curious.

Does anybody know how much doctors in the US typically make? Both at the start of their career and at the end of their career?

Are those numbers uniform across the country?

What about in Europe?

(Yeah I know a doctor's incentive might not be money, still)

I don't believe for a minute that every idea is taken.

What might be true is that the investor class is sufficiently narrow-minded in what kinds of ideas they will back that all of the good ideas within their narrow investable scope are taken. That might be true, especially given the decrease of adventurousness over the last months as the economy has started to fall apart.

But if you genuinely believe that every idea for a business that could possibly succeed has already been started, then you simply lack vision.
Was he wrong? After all, now we know the role the US played in the coup (sorry, perfectly organic color revolution) in Ukraine in 2014[0], and I don't think our intelligence agencies were vey forthcoming with that information...

And yet by 2016 when he took office it was known we were fucking with their internal politics too[1], using "totally not the CIA" organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy[2] and USAID[3].

This is not a new playbook, we have to realize every foreign government knows exactly what we're doing right? We can only pay people to look the other way for so long until a line is crossed. Whelp, apparently we discovered the line.

My brother bought a house recently, they placed a strong offer on an OpenDoor home and they heard back the next day saying they had a higher offer by almost 20%. So, they said no worries - we'll go with a different home then.

OpenDoor allegedly came back immediately with "wait wait wait! the other offer actually fell through, so you got the home!"

Pretty sketchy stuff.

Agreed. But I do think there are places for containers. I will often package single binaries in containers for built in distribution and capabilities for rolling upgrades. Especially tooling that relies on a lot of externalities that can taint the system. Python applications, as an example are much easier to deploy and manage this way than dealing with Terraform / Ansible to provision correctly. Even if you're just using host networking and good ol' Docker there is a ton of operational upside with very low maintenance overhead (mental and otherwise).

I'm working with a product now that's made their k8s deployment the standard and all it's done is create bigger issues. Ops got behind on Strimzi and so we got stuck on 1.21 because we couldn't upgrade due to being locked to the Strimzi version. This caused issues because of log4j and we ran into a wall quickly with customers on GCP as soon as 1.22 ended up as GA. Honestly I'm not sure we're getting much, if any, overhead advantage since I feel like the app has become bloated due to container creep.

That and supporting 4 different ways to provision storage across customers on every cloud / on-prem is a nightmare. Customer environment installed applications on k8s is a nightmare today.
I would love to use this, but doesn't seem like tasks can have dependencies/blocking tasks. Very few todo systems do. That's how I derive the "right" order to do things in with complex parallel tasks and research.

Love it UX-wise though.

To add some nuance to the sibling reply, the SEC has extensively laid out its legal argument for why many (not all) of the coins traded on crypto exchanges are securities under US law, including specific examples. See the recent insider trading complaint [1] and this analysis [2]. Dealing in unregistered securities is a crime [3], so if the analysis is correct then the exchanges are breaking US law.

The two main themes of this comment don't mesh.

Yes there can be diminishing returns on time, but C-suite positions are almost always on the declining side of time taken to do their jobs across their careers.

The C-suite of a 100B+ company shouldn't be spending more than a few hours a day really working hard. Compare that to something like a staff engineer who's become the lynchpin for more layers of their engineering org than anyone could ever list.

In fact I'd almost say no one has their WLB respected as much as people in the C-suite. Who's time in the entire org is considered more valuable?

And who has more autonomy to define that WLB to begin with? The chair isn't going to complain because the CEO left at 3pm to catch his kid's baseball game...
Having met some truly great axe-persons in the C suite over the years I toy with the idea of making it my retirement plan, as in taking ambitious but ingloriously unpopular roles crafting and executing M&A in hard tech. Former MBA profs I've worked with in school do consulting on this for these execs and its fascinating but not sure where I'd cut my teeth outside of seeking mentorship with folks engaging in those and not just regular M&A.

I'm not trying to be the faker tho

This is like a Sally-Ann problem for scientists.

The Sally-Ann problem is used to test "theory of mind" in autists: the subject watches Sally place a ball in box A and leave the room. Ann enters the room and removes the ball, placing it in box B. Sally returns to the room, looking for her ball. Which box will she open first?

Those supposedly without "theory of mind" will answer box B, because that's where the ball is. The correct answer is box A, because that's where Sally thinks the ball is.

For the scientists, the Kit-Kat and the Mars bar are equivalent, so taking a long time to choose between them is irrational. But what matters is not whether they are equivalent, it's whether they are equivalent to the chooser who must stop and consider their preferences before making a choice.

Congrats to KubeSail team!

I tried the software product a while ago and it wasn’t quite what I was looking for, but it was pretty cool. I could totally see myself recommending it to people (admittedly it’s somewhat niche so the opportunity hasn’t come up). The hardware is a little pricy for someone who is pretty competent with electronics, but seems great for people who want someone all in one. That said, it looks so well done that if CM4s become easier to get I might still purchase one.

Their goal of “personal server” is something I eagerly wish was mainstream, and I always try out products that try to actualize it if the price is right. I had a small issue getting it set up on a random pi I had lying around, and erulabs/others were super helpful in discord! They have extensive docs for getting set up with your own hardware, which was great. The reason i stopped using the product was two fold: k8 seems like too much for personal use- writing my own KubeSail templates was just too verbose. The other issue is that I wasn’t a fan of their cloud hosting and cloud gateway solution - it works well enough but a personal server that needs a cloud server just wasn’t what I wanted. If I needed to rely on an outside server (you do unless you wanna open ports) I’d rather vpn to the box with eg. Tailscale than rely on the gateway. Which may be more secure too(?).

Getting a web gui for a self hosted cluster was really nice, and the templates they put together really lowers the entry bar to start self hosting. I’m really impressed with the selections they chose, since a huge chunk of them I saw and went “ooh I should try that out”. Kudos to the team for putting it together. A feature suggestion: some sort of identity/auth integration which can help with household stuff (eg a hosted app that KubeSail injects your identity into). Could be useful for families and SMB clients.

Ps.
I had a good time reading through their non-documentation blog posts too.

A page or FAQ of supported integrations would be helpful. For example, I am told that I can “See events from all your calendars in one place.”. However, I have no idea which calendars are supported. My employer uses Office 365, I use Google Calendar for personal events, my partner shares iOS calendar with me. Is this all supported? If more of these integrations were documented $7 may be a great value proposition. If these types of integrations aren’t supported this appears like a fairly easy app to host serverlessly in AWS with some Lambdas and DynamoDB and $7/mo seems high to me.

I worked at the same company.

This company has uniquely terrible CEO leadership who systematically have a track record of very poorly choosing senior leadership, recklessly changing the culture and doing zero to curate innovation, people development.

All of the talent left, mostly to direct competitors who will now be super charged to annihilate them.

This May one day become one of the saddest case studies, along with how Intel has shaped up, but the damage is going to show up everywhere for years to come.

Having burned very significant energy at this company, I am deeply sad to see the most garbage humans left in charge and also deeply glad to see the talented people effusion to great roles where they will mop the floor with this company.

> Nuclear has the opposite problem of wind/solar in that they need to be run at 100% capacity basically all the time because of their absurd building costs and low operating costs. Building enough nuclear to support that load that then sits idle 95% of the year would be absurdly expensive.

On the one hand, it is true that the entrenched players here have an unreasonable amount of power, but...

...on the other hand, the consequence of pushing too hard in terms of making card networks responsible for the stuff bought through them is that we will increasingly find the card networks meddling in what kinds of businesses are allowed to accept their cards. And in the modern world, that means they become the ultimate and barely-accountable arbiters of what kinds of businesses are allowed to exist.

We will be really unhappy with them having that power.

I think we're irreconcilably on opposite sides of an ideological wall on this topic. I understand what you're saying and your point of view, I just don't agree with it. I think there's a matter of scale and timing as well.

Covid has made the economy much more fragile than it used to be, but it has also removed the veil of the importance of being in the office, so disruption to city streets is less of a hit on overall economic productivity than it used to be.

> It’s so ‘not serious’ that the government has had to introduce new laws to deter people from disrupting the city.

In regards to this, that's the core of the problem and the ideological difference of opinion. What one government legislates against, another government is just as likely to repeal as overreach based on what each government considers important or what keeps their pockets full.
You can imagine my confusion, checking in to see this at the top of HN.

I believe that if I tried playing the game, I'd make a pretty good CTO. But as PG is aluding to, there are a lot of really talented people out there (including myself) who hate playing the politic/self-promotion game. For small startups, you can be an effective C level player while avoiding these "soft skills" but the bigger the org the more important these skills get. Avoiding the game, or worse: playing it badly, can kill a startup. I think this is why a lot of founders struggle as their org grows.

> Have you ever had a homeless camp near your residence? How close? How would you feel about your wife/daughter/mother being home alone near a homeless camp?

About my most recent experience in the East Bay (near San Francisco)... I lived (a) about 0.5 miles from a homeless person who lived in a truck; (b) about 1 mile from an industrial area with dozens of parked campers, (c) about 1.5 miles from a small tent encampment (maybe 10? tents), (d) and about 2 miles from a larger one (maybe 20?). In this experience, I did not personally feel threatened, nor did I hear accounts of them being violent or particularly troublesome.

But I get your point. I have been close to camps where I feel unsafe, and I would not recommend spending time nearby.
> [...]C-level executives have mastered the art of sounding good with minimal set of accomplishments

I mean, they get hired to do the same for the company (internally to potential and current employees, and externally to partners and financiers). The ability to sell is a crucial skill in the C-suite: it's no wonder they can sell themselves.
The rings true, most of the problems I've seen tend to come from a CEO who refuses to get rid or fails to notice the poor ones though

>So you're saying the last 40% is going to be completely impossible and wreck the grid?

Without massive storage, yes. The 60% it picked up is the easy part of the demand that follows the renewable production. The last 40% is 95%+ of the difficult work.

The difference here is making a rocket that gets to space vs one that achieves orbit. They seem similar but they aren’t even in the same league.

It’s not negativity, it’s what has happened in every country that is a decade or more ahead of Australia here. Australia is not magic, it has nighttimes and slow winds like every other place on the planet. This problem has plagued everyone at the head of the technology curve here and there still isn’t a solution. What do you think Australia will do differently?
