Many employers require college degrees for jobs that don't really require an education. They just want people that they know can graduate from college. A paid back training program might lead to them hiring high school grads and then getting the incompetent ones to pay them back which would provide increased opportunities for the competent high school grads.

The esthetician skills are also transferable. That one seems to just reek of bad management. It’s hard to come up with a scenario where I’d want to send an employee to training they already have, unless it’s a currency/continuing education issue. Absent those, it’s “training” that adds zero value to neither the employer or employee.

Even so, I’m not sure how legislation would work. It’s once thing if you can point to a license and say the training is unnecessary but I would venture a guess that the majority of training isn’t of that type.

We see these negative articles because they get clicks and attention but there is actually a ton of legit uses for this. In the VFX industry for example doing a face swap (sometimes called a replacement) is a fairly standard practice. Car crash scene where a union stunt performer is being paid to stand in for an actor? Instead of finding one that looks as similar as possible to the actual performer you can have any competent compositor just replace the head of the main performer to the stunt performer. Giving said compositor more tools to do this faster and easier is great - maybe now they can just replace a few individual frames and let the AI do the rest and then tweak the end result as needed.
So many dead links! Sad, I would love to poke around a resource like this.

Kustomize has the best local dev environment for k8s that I have found; hot-reloading your cluster as you edit manifests gives a very tight development feedback loop.

For my money it is worth spending the time to grok the slightly funky overlay semantics, at least for teams with infra focus / dedicated SRE.

However, I’m not certain I recommend it for small teams doing full-stack DevOps, I.e. engineers deploying their own code that aren’t k8s experts; if you only work with the Kustomize layer infrequently it can be a bit annoying/unintuitive.

Note you can still use a two-step GitOps process where the Kustomize scripts write to your raw config repo; I think this is a good middle option that keeps the infra legible, while allowing developers to get the ergonomics of a bit of dynamic logic in their deploy pipelines. (Eg parameters for each environment).

China-based
Not really, since the current topic is about the internet, and that's a global thing.

Bars are local.

Now, if the internet was more sectionalized like how China has their country firewalled, and North Korea for that matter; then your point would hold water.

But we don't have such a system, so your point holds zero water.

I merely used bars as an example of where children are not allowed to be in, because generally speaking; most of the world agrees on this sort of matter. Just because a few do things differently (and erroneously at that) doesn't mean we should suddenly do things their way as well.

Same idea applies to the internet and spying on client side devices. Just because the UK and Europe are considering doing so, doesn't mean the rest of us should. And we are correct for calling them out on trying to implement such a thing, because they are backwards for doing so.

Now, you and me are done on this topic; because now it's getting to a point where the rules of this site are definitely being toed if not breached. Especially by you, and I would rather keep myself on the better side of that line.

> When people first do anything they are always bad

Depending on what you mean by "bad", this is not necessarily true. Some people are better at certain things than others if you control for the amount of practice they've had. Take a group of children who have never played the piano. Give them a recording of a simple song, and tell them to listen to the song and play around with the piano for 1 hour and try to play something that sounds like that song at the end of that hour. Even with zero practice, some people will do better at this than others.

Is hate speech right? In most cases, probably not unless you're saying things like "f..k all pedophiles who rape children", then it's righteously motivated. Is it legal? Yes. This is a very important distinction and what gives the USA its unique character and distinguishing trait among ALL other nations who do not have these types of freedoms codified in their constitutions...in fact, in many countries you'd be sacked quietly for saying the "wrong" thing - where "wrong" is defined by whomever happens to be in power (e.g. Russia, China come to mind)

>whilst mainstream media pushed right wing ideas.

I think mainstream now pushes both, which, a bit, depends on what you'd call "mainstream". If "mainstream" is "media watched by millions that thematizes the public discourse", then Fox News and Netflix are both mainstream, and their range of ideas being pushed span wide. I don't see that the mainstream prefers either side, on a worldwide stage.

"More extreme people are kicked off each platform successively until they end up places like 4chan."

I think extreme expressions are moderated chiefly because it turns a place toxic, and because the owner wouldn't like to be legally liable for things like hate speech or doxxing.

I'm sure most of the people here complaining about custom configs can't be bothered to read documentation and hope the gui gives them enough hints to stumble through using it. And this has worked well enough for simple programs as visual hints allow one to stumble through the interface using trial and error.

The gui as documentation has done massive amounts of damage because you can only hint so much before the idea breaks down in the face of 100's of knobs and levers. Then the GUI becomes a liability because once the program becomes stable management (or bored oss devs) find reasons to change the gui breaking the user experience by corrupting the documentation. Now the user has to re-learn everything. The web then becomes a graveyard of obsolete how-to guides.

I think that makes a whole lot of sense. The actual post explains it wonderfully:

>Most other companies are financially supported by venture capital, in the form of large investments from a small number of people. If you use their services for free, or even if you pay the modest fees for their paid plans, they are not incentivized to serve your needs first. They are beholden to their investors, and at their behest, they may implement changes you don't like: invasive tracking, selling your data, and so on.

>SourceHut has not accepted, and will never accept, any outside investments. Our sole source of revenue is from sr.ht users making their account payments. This incentivizes us to only consider your needs, and not to use you as a resource to be exploited. The financial relationship is much more responsible for both parties.

The hard lesson I learned during the dotcom era and immediately after is that this cult like worship of version 1 ends up sinking many companies but since it's new nobody wants to hear, it doesn't get reported well.

Any asshole can ship version 1. Shipping version 2 takes some talent.

In particular, to your scenario, there's a reason why companies operate in 'stealth' mode. The moment they are on the public radar, now all of the time frames are based on customer interest and customer complaints. We have to keep some tempo of releases to build customer confidence. You can't launch the MVP and then immediately stop all work to address the tech debt you acquired. So we're not talking about 'after MVP' versus 'before MVP', we are talking 'this year' versus 'next year or the year after'. That's a long time to creak along with very bad initial architecture decisions.

The value of a coach in sports or other activities is that this is a person who is not bogged down by the minutiae of the performance. They can see when you're stuck and tell you to stop. Very, very few developers have the ability to self-coach. It's one of the purposes of the morning standup: the hope that you hear yourself saying you've been wrapped around the axle on something and need a change of perspective. But the "stuckness" I'm talking about here has to do with Sharpening Your Axe. You're in a bad way because your 'tools' are not 'sharp', but you've already panicked about deadlines so you keep muscling through instead of realizing that the fastest way to complete tasks is to make the tasks easier and then do the task. That's the sort of tech debt that gets devs angry and resentful of people who tell them 'no'.

There's plenty of areas to criticize Rand over (the fact that her rationality based / think for yourself movement became a cult of personality centered around her for example). That's why I tried the "Controversial views aside." In many ways Rand pioneered an effect that Trump would later turn into a strategy: have opponents who are so single-mindedly hateful and spiteful that they make you look better every time they attack you.

It makes it so very tough when Rand's writing could inform or elevate a topic. There's just no way to do so that won't inspire an attempt at a flame war. That said, this particular portion of Atlas Shrugged is perhaps the best illustration of what I referenced in my earlier post:

From the page on the test - https://greenbankobservatory.org/successful-test-paves-way-f...

> Using the information collected with this latest test, the participants will finalize a plan to develop a 500-kilowatt, high-power radar system that can image objects in the Solar System with unprecedented detail and sensitivity. The increased performance also will allow astronomers to use radar signals as far away as the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, increasing our understanding of the Solar System.

> “The planned system will be a leap forward in radar science, allowing access to never before seen features of the Solar System from right here on Earth,” said Karen O’Neil, the Green Bank Observatory site director.

That use of the word "unprecedented" and looking at Uranus and Neptune suggests to me that it will go further than Arecibo did... three decades ago.

https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2000DDA....31.0803N/abstra...

> In October 1999 we obtained the first radar images of Saturn's rings, using the recently-upgraded Arecibo telescope operating at a wavelength of 12.6 cm. The opening angle of the rings was 19.9o, and dual-circular polarization data were collected over a period of 5 days. The resulting delay-Doppler maps have a range resolution of 100 msec and a frequency resolution of 2 kHz, corresponding to a spatial resolution cell of 15000 x 2000 km. Previous radar observations (e.g., Ostro et al. [1982] Icarus 49, 367) demonstrated the rings' high cross section and depolarization ratio, but did not yield 2-dimensional images.

The key thing with this is the radar astronomy rather than radio astronomy.

The tracking is likely what's at play for the Uranus and Neptune though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_Telescope

> The round trip light time to objects beyond Saturn is longer than the 2.6-hour time that the telescope could track a celestial position, preventing radar observations of more distant objects.

Uranus is about 2.5 light hours Neptune is about 4 light hours from us. Double that for the round trip time.

The primary interesting part of this is getting the accurate ephemeris of near earth asteroids.

https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/acm2008/pdf/8285.pdf

> Arecibo Doppler measurements (2380-MHz, 12.6- cm) of asteroid 99942 Apophis, obtained in August 2005 and May 2006, have been combined with optical astrometry reported through August 2006 to produce a new orbit solution.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001910352...

> During these encounters the Arecibo and Goldstone radar stations collected seven Doppler and 22 delay measurements of Bennu. For a general description of radar astrometry see Yeomans et al., 1987, Ostro et al., 2002. This wealth of ground-based tracking data allows an extremely accurate description of Bennu’s motion (Chesley et al., 2014). The trajectory of Bennu is deterministic until 2135, when a close encounter with Earth leads to strong scattering and makes the knowledge of its future motion statistical.

So it looks like Green Bank will have improved transmitter and tracking. It won't have quite the sensitivity of Arecibo, but it's still one of the more impressive resources.
