Except that Kubernetes, along with all the additional components that are needed, for example, you mentioned Longhorn and a database such as PostgreSQL, Cilium, and others, has a multitude of ways to fail in unpredictable manners during updates, and there can be many hidden, minor bugs. The list of issues on GitHub for these projects is very lengthy.

I'm not suggesting that this isn't a viable solution, but I would prefer to be well-prepared and have a team of experts in their respective fields who are willing to have an on-call duty. This team would include a specialist for Longhorn or Ceph, since storage is extremely important, one to set up and maintain a high-availability PostgreSQL database with an operator and automated, thoroughly tested backups, and another for eBPF/Cilium networking complexities, which is also crucial because if your cluster network fails, it results in an immediate major outage.

Certainly, you can claim that you have sufficient experience to manage all these systems independently, but when do you plan to sleep if you're on call 24/7/365? Therefore, you either need a highly competent team of domain experts, which also incurs a significant cost, or you opt for cloud services where all of this management is taken care of for you. Of course, this service is already included in the price, hence it's more expensive than bare-metal.
> 32 trillion in debt seems insurmountable, has anything like this ever reversed course historically?

If you look at output or income relative, instead of meaningless absolute nominal terms, yes, in fact, the current US debt to to GDP ratio and debt to revenue ratios are a drop from the recent peak—a result of exactly the kind of reversal of course you are asking about.
That is the fund for the whole nation, they can keep strikes up forever since the strike is just a small part of their workers. This is how unions can compete with capital and politicians on an equal ground.

Well, everyone is different biologically and every drug affects everyone differently, I didn't mean that there's no biodiversity between people. What I meant was that these stimulants don't function differently based on whether you're "cognitively healthy." Methylphenidate doesn't do something different in a person with ADHD versus one without, because it doesn't interact with any mechanisms of the illness, and whether or not you have ADHD you're experiencing similar effects on the drug.

Contrast with, say, SSRIs, which might have some effect in a healthy person but you're looking at a different range of effects compared to someone taking it for depression/anxiety/OCD/whatever.
Or I could just accept that neither numeric, nor string ordering works for semantic versioning, and write a trivially easy piece of code that does the ordering in a contect where I expect such a scheme.

> If we wanted trivially comparable with regular numeric ordering we could have incremental numbers as versions. 1, 2, 3, ...

Yes, and then we would be back to the day when the version number gave me zero information about what changed, and how that affects compatibility with existing code.

There is a reason semver is used across the industry by now.

AP (usually), Chicago, and The Economist style guides all specify the first use for singular nouns--so it does seem to be officially preferred in both US and British English. Which I did not actually know.

Yeah, FPSs on the couch is fun. I love playing HL2 on my Xbox Series S.
That solution doesn't work in practice because a nontrivial number of those workers are perfectly willing to exploit others for their own personal gain. Turns out people have flaws.

Unions are the best compromise anyone's found between capital and labor.
It still makes a few dollars. New players are born every day. The original Half Life has a lot of sentimental value for the company and they won't let it rot.
I think also the negative comments here are missing how commonly closets are built incorrectly without the correct depth for a coat hanger. Not every day, but there are enough people living in condos which had lazy architects/contractors and might appreciate the solution. I've lived in one and seen several others. I couldn't think of another solution besides kids hangers, which wasn't a satisfying compromise.

But... that's irrelevant. The audits didn't fail, the things being audited failed the audit.
But to make a decent voice-driven assistant using Chat GPT, Whisper etc., you need a team of about 10 engineers, hence the downsizing.
> Adding a new language still doesn't solve the blocking problems with the current extensions.

That is a pretty strong argument which I agree with. The somewhat dismissive answer I could give around JS in Emacs is that if I wanted to write JS so badly that I was willing to rewrite the ecosystem in order to do it, I'm not sure why I shouldn't just use VS Code.

I'm floating the idea that JS would be a good fit for a lot of these problems, but it is correct to ground that with the idea that having 2 separate coding languages in a text editor just feels weird and cumbersome and I don't know, isn't the ecosystem fragmented enough? I can't actually avoid Elisp in Emacs and I wouldn't be able to just because Javascript was added.
Upon posting, one should encounter a list of similar posts if such exists, and if so, be asked something like: 'Are you sure you wish to proceed with this submission?' That would be a useful application of AI that would cut down on all these dupe posts.
The system cannot be "fixed" because the winners of it have so much resources that they will not let it be fixed, undermining democracy itself if that's what it takes. Barring a revolution this is what we'll have for the rest of our lives.
To me the lower bound is not taking long breaks from the project. I know I've "spent three years" on projects that I worked on for a month and then continued for another month years later. And if I start them again now then it would be even longer.
> But for Android, I thought it is trivial for end users to avoid the Play store for any software they want? If so, I would not describe that as a monopoly.

It's possible but not trivial. In particular, the stores have a network effect where users won't install them if they've never heard of them (remember you have to give your payment info to a store), and developers have no use for a store without users. Google also makes a lot of features dependent on Google Play, which makes it hard for OEMs not to include it with their phone, which might otherwise have allowed the store they did include to reach a critical mass. So Google Play still has >90% market share on Android, even if the alternatives aren't explicitly prohibited.
Wait, we know the underlying rules, we have an explanation. You can read all the coefficients.

We don't understand the explanation, though it is correct. Not sure if the problem here is with the capabilities of the examinee or with the examiner.
hardly call it stealing. they decided to no longer work for the previously agreed upon compensation package. the employer found new employees that would do the work they need done.

no one stole anything. I agree and encourage unions and collective bargaining, but a strike breaker is hardly a thief, they are just a worker who needs money like the guy striking
I would suggest "cloud (the water kind)" but I hate it.
The technological innovation pace in large capacity batteries and motors for EV’s is very inspiring. However, everything has externalities that seem to be ignored or remembered only after the fact. The USA’s roads have a score of D <1>. These electric trucks are tremendously heavy, and road wear is proportional to vehicle weight to the 4th power! <2>. A possible future innovation might be reinventing the highway pavement system, either materials or methodology of resurfacing.

> Most explanations I've seen boil down to to "The US (or any other sovereign nation with control over their own currency) can print their way out of debt, it's literally impossible for the US to default."

Its impossible for the US to be forced to default.

Its quite possible for the US to make a political choice to default, and it has come very close to doing so.
> Yes, even then. A contract violation is not a violation of law. My question is about it being illegal.

Breach of contract is a violation of civil (but not criminal) law. It's illegal but it's not a crime. The question is more of enforceability and of compensation due, if any.
Thank you, that was fun.
If you think cars are a disaster, and that Toronto is somehow more car-centric than "most of the developed world", I think you should hop on the next bus to Pearson and go see some of the developed and undeveloped world.

I've lived on three continents, and Toronto is the safest, cleanest city I've ever been in. You could totally make living there without a car work (if not comfortably). There are like 2-3 cities on the entire continent where that is true. In Europe, there are more walkable cities, but you pay heavily for that directly and indirectly. Cars are a big economic boost.
Every country has these problems currently. But people’s money is tacked away in the pockets of the riches and shareholders, something that can and should be solved in different ways than burning dinosaurs. We can not destroy our environment AND distribute wealth more equally, it’s not an „OR“.

I think part of the issue is Half-life 1 & 2 were groundbreaking in terms of level design and storytelling in a FPS. It wasn't just about completing a maze, that was why Half-Life was so beloved there was nothing like it really before. Half-life 3 would just be like every other FPS game now, the trail has been blazed.
I would never plug a smart TV into any network, but regardless of that - when you have an individual endpoint like the smart TV (or the Apple TV, Android device, etc), what's the practical advantage of a 2.5Gbit port on that device? You aren't able to watch the movie/TV show any faster.. so you're constrained to the data rate of the content you're consuming at ~1 to ~1.5x speed (if you are in to that sort of thing).

Taking a 4k stream as an example, a compressed 4k stream is not going to exceed about 50Mbps, so even a 100Mbps data rate will have a 2x safety factor - and since you're wired, you're going to get full use of that data rate unlike Wi-Fi. You're not streaming uncompressed video as that would require more than 2.5Gbps, and if you want to upgrade to 8k video, you'll need a new TV anyway...

I always wire in my TV and other fixed infrastructure because, since they aren't moving, there's no advantage to using a data layer protocol that, by definition, enables mobile access. In addition, latency and jitter is always better on wire versus wireless, and keeping these devices off the wireless frees up precious airtime that the rest of my devices that do move can use instead. It's a win-win-win all around.
Mild HL:ALyx spoiler: If you'd actually finished the game, you'd know that it does continue that cliffhanger (briefly)
Not exactly. Sprawl means you can't reasonably reach the entire city, but low density sprawl and cars mean you can reach enough of a city to consider it all the advantages of a city. Toronto loses out because they have a dense city center, downtowns have to be torn down for the sprawl model to work - people who get a new job may have to move elsewhere in the city since the new job isn't close to the old (unlike when all jobs were downtown) However since you are still "close" you can visit old friends and family on weekends - it will be a long drive but you don't make that trip often so it is reasonable.

Cars don't enable many people to own 100 square miles - but I can get pretty close if I settle for 5 acres in an exurb. Many find that a single family house gives them close enough (they get a small garden - most likely grass they mow weekly - which is all they really want). But again it is a compromise. If we had science fiction technology (terraform Mars and Venus; teleporters) that 100 square miles might be reasonable.
Agreed. I have a slightly different model for financial planning. I plan around macros instead of micros. I'm a scatter brained person, so Type-A systems don't work as well for me.

I don't have a family, so there are only a few numbers I need to remember. Those are the numbers I plan around. Costs = rent + car + food + subscriptions.

So I live with roommates, take public transportation, try to cook at home, generally avoid alcohol and stick to ($$) 2 dollar sign level restaurants. I don't really track anything, but make sure that I live within the sandbox I have defined for myself.

Similarly, I have kept my investing strategy simple. Max out 401k + HSA immediately (ESPP if avilable) & never withdraw your stock vest (I do rebalance). That way I guarantee pretty hefty lower bound on my annual savings.

Soon, I will be unable to count my major investments & spends on my fingers. At that point, I will absolutely be taking your advice.
I mean, if you read the entire statement, it's clear that it's not exactly an unqualified statement. If your view on containers is that you've evaluated them and found that they aren't useful for your organizational needs, then it's not a red flag... but it's also not "apprehension toward containers."
But there isn’t a ghost in my house, no matter what I assume, and what those options suggest is that you get swindled by charlatans. If we’re at the level of discourse where this type of absurd unhelpful answer is not only accepted but defended on a conversation about bullshit, there’s little hope of the problem being fixed.

If I make the exact same question but give it the system prompt “You are James Randi, the world-famous skeptic”, it gives a reasonable answer to help identify the true cause of whatever is making you think there is a ghost.

Which just goes to show how much of a bullshit generator this is, as you can get it to align with whatever preconceived notions you—or, more importantly, the people who own the tool—have.

> A contract violation is not a violation of law.

False; contract law is, as the name suggests, law, and there are legally established remedies for violations.

No, data is significantly filtered in order to bias it to accuracy.

Of course if you feed an AI scientific papers and books of some quality, information will be of high quality. THAT... is how you "filter for truth". It's not supposed or required to be perfect. But of course you can filter the input.

The fact you also add conversational input from various sources like Reddit and Twitter doesn't change this balance significantly. Also even those sources are filtered to exclude vulgarities, certain topics and so on.

Also you're not thinking this through. If a question is on average answered incorrectly 'round the world, it means you're over 50% likely to also give the incorrect answer when asked. Who equipped you to know the truth?
I would caution against assuming that anything related to commissions is actually customary, including an even split. All of this really is negotiable, and when I think about the past year, I've seen multiple occasions where different splits were offered. For example - I referred some business to an agent in Tennessee, who in order to pay my referral* convinced seller to offer a lesser split to the buyer's agent. I know of at least one agent in my market who does similar. I know of another agent who charges at least 10% on any land deal, while others are flat-fee.

* If I were a member of the public, I'd be more upset about referral fees than commissions. This is a far more grey / nebulous area of real estate compensation. We have to disclose and discuss commissions up front, but referral fees are often in the shadows and definitely can cause buyers / sellers to pay more.
> average folks get fired immediately for not doing their job. A job that they agreed to do.

The entire point of a union is that you have enough collective agreement so that the company can't just fire everyone who pushes back. They can fire one person, or even many, but what if half of the workers are pushing back?

> also, mail workers don't "own" mail delivery.

They may not own it, but they do control it. Good luck getting your mail if every mail worker collectively decided to stop working.
You say that only a cartel of CEO could exist?

In a regular employee-employer relations there is a big difference in negotiating power. Unions can mitigate that.
I wouldn't say that. The fabrication of circuit boards or chips is certainly not something shenzhen is known for.

Tencent and DJI is headquartered there for instance.

Thank you for your answer. In your experience, is it difficult to make these tools interact well together? How much effort is needed to build a robust testing pipeline with all those different tools?

Regarding your second paragraph, do you know of any tools that help with such stubs? Or do you typically use an ad-hoc solution?
GDP is “per year” and market cap is just some absolute number, better to compare annual revenue or sth.

I mean why one year? Why not 10 months and 8 days? Why not a decade? It’s totally arbitrary and you can only use GDPs to compare with other GDPs (or other annual totals).
Duhh, I'm guessing the paperback book sized terms and conditions of every phone OS and app provider has this buried somewhere in there. Even Apple would be silly not to do it internally to train its AI models.

There is an article from the Brookings institute that supports your position-

"In 2006, President Victor Yushchenko attached high priority to securing a NATO membership action plan (MAP). By summer, Kyiv looked on course to attain a MAP when alliance foreign ministers met that December. Curiously, Moscow did not come out hard against the idea. The prospective MAP derailed, however, after Yushchenko appointed Victor Yanukovych as prime minister. During a September visit to Brussels, Yanukovych said he did not want a MAP. The proposal died given the divided position of Ukraine’s executive branch.

Yushchenko called for a MAP again in January 2008, this time with the support of Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko and Rada (parliament) Speaker Arseniy Yatseniuk. Moscow came out in full opposition. When Yushchenko visited the Russian capital that February, he had to stand alongside and listen to President Vladimir Putin threaten to target nuclear missiles on Ukraine. Instead of lobbying allies to support a MAP for Kyiv, Washington waited until the April Bucharest summit, where President George W. Bush attempted to persuade his counterparts to grant Ukraine (and Georgia) a MAP. However, a number of allied leaders by then had made up their minds and opposed the idea. Concern about Russian opposition undoubtedly played a role."

There are a lot of moving parts that I find really interesting. The successes and failures of the players that led up to the war, as well as the domestic and global changes brought about in consequence (Is China doing more than "watching the tigers fight"?) affects the world.
It's VR only.
I have a suburban/rural house, with a yard, and drive a car.

I also put over 2000 miles a year on an ebike, which equates to about 30kWhr of electricity. That e-bike is designed to take a substantial amount of cargo, or two kids.

I can get to the post office, polling place, local deli, library, and a bar in about 5 minutes. The supermarket, pharmacy, pizza shops, restaurant, bank, hardware store etc in 15 minutes. A friend I visit regularly is 15 miles away which I consistently do in under 40 minutes versus about 25-30 in the car, even though the route I take to avoid a single-lane undivided highway is longer.

Yes, a lot of rural/suburban neighborhoods are isolated by wildly unsafe roads between them and services. But in many, it's very easy to get to many of the places you need to go, via bicycle.

Yes, and those bets are guesses on how much the company will return as the poster you responded to said.

if you have to adapt it in certain cases because of limitations in the type system, from my point of view that amounts to the type system handling units incorrectly

in the same way that pascal's type system handled array sizes 'incorrectly' because you couldn't write a subroutine that could operate on an array of any size, just arrays of one size or another

you could say 'yes, well, the code you write will have to be adapted in certain cases (compared to current existing implementations of string algorithms)', like say if your string has more than 20 characters in it, but the reason is that you're doing something the type system can't handle
Interesting. That is certainly not true in the US.
