Kubernetes is not really meant to assist apps themselves. It's a tool for organizations with multiple independent development teams which helps define a single source of truth for whats running where.

Kubernetes is a great fit for even extremely simple applications - assuming you have dozens to keep track of and dozens of developers who want to make changes to them.

Welcome to the real world.
> Are some PFAS considered safe? Or as a class are they all harmful?

I don't think many chemists want to admit that there's very little reason to believe any PFAS formulation could ever really be safe. Perhaps one could be designed to break down faster and be less bioaccumulating in animals but realistically their mechanism of action as surfactants - the reason they're so industrially useful - is the very reason they're toxic to living organisms.

Surfactants fundamentally change the surface tension of water and other fluids which has an effect on everything from how biological surfaces adhere to each other (including to the internal extracellular matrix that most multicellular life depends on to organize its cells) to how proteins fold together. Normally surfactants like soap, lecithin in egg yolks, and glycolipids are not a problem because they're immediately biodegradable but not PFAS.

The carbon-flourine bonds that make them so resistant to breakdown and so bioaccumulating are the reason why they work in such a wide range of industrial environments, surviving high temperature and strong redox reagents that would normally rip apart any other molecule. It's the worst kind of catch 22. The whole class should be banned and the industry forced to live with the consequences like all the anti-fouling agents that are banned in the maritime industry.
And it's important to recognize the advantages and disadvantages to ensure that we have proper context.

For example, leetcode may be very appropriate for those programming jobs which are fairly standard. At every job you don't need to invent new things. Industrialization was amazing because of this standardization and ability to mass produce (in a way, potentially LLMs can be this for code. Not quite there yet but it seems like a reasonable potential).

But on the other hand, there are plenty of jobs where there are high levels of uniqueness and creativity and innovation dominate the skills of repetition and regurgitation. This is even true in research and science, though I think creativity is exceptionally important.

The truth is that you need both. Often we actually need more of the former than the latter, but both are needed. They have different jobs. The question is more about the distribution of these skillsets that you need to accomplish your goals. Too much rigidity is stifling and too much flexibility is chaos. But I'd argue that in the centuries we've better learned to wade through chaos and this is one of the unique qualities that makes us human. To embrace the unknown while everything in us fights to find answers, even if they are not truth; because it is better to be ruled by a malicious but rational god than the existential chaos.
TL;DR: Once again, private equity strip mines ifrastructure.
This is one of the biggest footguns of a tech company I've seen in the last decade.

Time will tell if embracing the complexity of Kubernetes was a good play for them or not. But, in all honesty, I'm pretty sad to see this happening, although I'm sure they had their reasons.
So you pay $20-30 to send your BAT on Ethereum to your exchange, where you then pay additional trade and withdrawal fees.

You must be making a lot of BAT for this to even be worth it. I haven't seen anyone on https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject report making more than ~$10/month, and the overwhelming majority just make anywhere from $0.20 - $5/month. So maybe in two years it's going to be worthwhile for them to go through the withdrawal steps.

In the meantime they technically have to report their BAT distributions as earnings against their income (so they pay taxes for them). Then track the average cost basis til the time of their eventual disposal.

In many countries, the network fees, trading fees, and withdrawal fees won't be deductible unless they're filing as a business. So they may even lose money throughout the process when you take additional taxes into account.

And either way it's a tax headache, and you risk opening yourself up to penalties if you file improperly, or paying an accountant extra to sort through everything for you.
AI chips in Chromebooks are a solution to what?
No, the reason is that it required substantial financial investments, and in some cases access to proprietary big-data collections.
Changes really should be rendered as a part of a typical GitOps workflow. Great to see y'all are employing this with positive results.

This gets close to something really important, but I'd like to forward something that I wrote previously - the SAME project[1]

The difference/compliment here is that after you finish writing these cells, i think there's a translation into a backend service for execution at scale.

I'd love someone to pick this up and run with it in collaboration with tools like this!

Statistics don't bear this out. The most unsafe drivers are the younger ones.
Probably good for people already used to fly or interested in fly for other reasons, that could also use k8s ?

Sometimes you just want to run k8s without thinking too much about it, without having all the requirements that gcp have answers to.
The “fake it till you make it” strategy is more about changing your behavior to project confidence when you don’t feel you should have any or the social situation wouldn’t necessarily support it.

This is fundamentally lying to investors when you have a fiduciary responsibility beyond your own enrichment.

This isn’t some suggestion either, but law. Obviously we can debate the effectiveness of the law. But generally you are expected to “be square” in your dealings.

Arbitrage opportunity on Ultra 2? I’d love to have one of these and thought about running out today to get one before I’m locked out.

I think the biggest hurdle would be networking between the pods since they will be running on different cloud providers.
Well, who knows? Even if that is the case, I would argue that the correct way to go about is to first talk to the rights holder and ask. One cannot just assume or wager.

There's little I can imagine that would warrant a third party to just go ahead and access/use the item of the rights holder the way they would like, just based on some assumption.
Right, and that could be just as much a reflection of the fact that American workers are very different than Japanese workers. Also in a high-cost place like the Bay Area I can see how it would be hard to make a case to keep that particular plant, instead of an inland plant like 90% of foreign automaker US plants are.

And once you decide yes, let's move production to Kentucky or whatever, so our employees' rent will be $1000 instead of $2500, that's not going to be a union shop.

None of this means that NUMMI failed or even that Toyota hates unions. I think all this would have gone roughly the same even if NUMMI had become a non-union shop under Toyota.
Travel YouTuber Noel Philips documented his experience on a long distance greyhound journey published a couple of weeks ago. ("I spent 5 Days on America's Longest Greyhound Bus. It was hell." [1]). Noel expressed huge empathy for the folks he shared the journey with recognizing that here is a desperate need for Greyhound's services, their customers tend to come from low/no income backgrounds and the company by and large treats them with contempt.

> all public information is quickly priced in

Yeah this theory is bollocks. Priced in by whom, Wall St or Redditors? This theory may have been relevant before retail investors were a large force, but now it's irrelevant. I mean, if it worked, you'd never have meme stocks.
If you think that’s bad, wait until you hear about medschool / nursing.
NUMMI wasn't just Toyota, it was a collaboration between GM and Toyota. So this example isn't really representative of typical Japanese automaker presence in the country.
Geothermal also works for carbon-free base load, and newer drilling techniques made it viable in areas without high surface heat.
I laughed so hard reading Hindenburg's report on Nikola. Absolute clown show; still can't believe they rolled that truck down the hill. I made 25 thousand dollars shorting the stock after the report came out.
I can't think of a good example for a sass product. I'm sure it goes on though and I'm always interested in hearing about examples!

A similar strategy which seems to be quite common these days is to cross-subsidise, which is when a firm sells one product at an artificially low price by using profits it makes from selling another product. If we think about cross-subsidisation, then lots of multi-product sass offerings might fall under our scope. That said, cross-subsidisation has economic benefits, so it's not clear-cut.

As I said, to properly adjust to digital markets I think antitrust will have to identify new patterns of harm and invent new metrics to measure them. Predatory pricing (and similar offences) will always be useful, but they might just not fit well onto these kinds of markets.
>we might be able to even do this for air-conditioning, washing machines, or car-charging (if you have a PHEV or EV).

No _might_ about it, this currently happens for A/C, and is just getting going for car charging (see EV Managed Charging as a category).

Also some functions of commercial/industrial facilities that can be ramped more easily, eg shut off half of the hallway lighting in an office building. I think I recall things like rock crushers being turned off, but I might be misremembering that.
Adobe XD never gained adoption so I don't see that happening with this failed deal so you will be 100% wrong.

Where Adobe will likely win out though is in the AI side of things so time will tell if that would be enough to replace Figma alone.
If you only run the desalination plant when energy is cheap, plant cost per liter of water goes up. May or may not be a win. Probably a win for small, isolated plants, say for powering and watering a small island. Large grid-connected plants, don't know.
Maybe you were not wrong on technical merits, but your move proves you underestimated the value of the Kubernetes ecosystem of lots and lots of standards and trained talent. It’s like building a fancy CMS today with a fancy API, but then make it Wordpress compatible when you realize the value of WP is not just in the tech, but also in the ecosystem.
Oh right; that seems to be the exception then, because none of the others I checked earlier used anything other than C++.

> Now, the above is factual, not an imaginary scenario

It's an imaginary scenario. You know that the whole Russiagate multi-year farce turned out to be nothing but lies from our own governments, right? It's been proven many times over.

The idea that we have to be kept safe from "division" is especially hilarious given that the whole point of democracy is to allow people to work out their naturally occurring divisions peacefully.
Yes and no. I think the larger issue is about the ambiguity of what publications mean and should be. There's a lot of ways to optimize this, and none of those has optimal solutions. I don't think you should be down voted for your different framing because I think we just need to be more open about this chaos and consider other values than our own or the road we're on. I think it is very unclear what we are trying to optimize and it is quite apparent that you're going to have many opinions on this and your group of reviewers may all seek to optimize different things. The only solution I can see is to stop pretending as if we know what each other is trying to do and be a bit more explicit about it. Because if we argue based on different assumptions we'll talk past one another if we assume the other is working on the same set of assumptions.
Strong recommendation for Xlights, I used to program patterns for my dreamcoat.

I started with a 3D scan of me wearing the costume using my wife's iPhone when the first version with LIDAR came out. After cleaning up the scan (iPhone 12 LIDAR wasn't the best quality) in Blender, I spent a good many hours in Xlights placing every single light at its correct 3D position using the imported mesh as a reference. Laborious work, but with all 1300-odd WS2811 LEDs mapped in all 3 axes, it makes for a pretty beautiful product.

Using Xlights is great. For open source it's pretty smooth. There's a small learning curve for the technology, but making sequences a strong resemblance to video editing. The project has frequest updates, I haven't seen any project-breaking format changes in the 3.5 years I've used it, and it's clearly maintained by people who use it. Push new rendered sequences to my FPP-running raspi on the costume through wifi then editing the running playlist through a web interface on FPP on the laptop is a dream.

If anyone's curious:

The hard part is the multiplayer editing, which works seamlessly with quite large groups, even on less-than-ideal internet. You can even see everyone's mouse cursors moving in real time! This is something most video games struggle with, let alone productivity tools.

> ignore Nordic unions

In Sweden (the largest industrial hub in Scandinavia), unions don't collectively negotiate wages with employers - they collectively set wages across an entire industry with the government and business management (think Syndicalism, which is the primary industrial philosophy in Europe compared to the US).

Also, blue collar membership has declined after the 2008 Financial Crisis dealt a killing blow to Volvo and Saab. Blue Collar union membership in Sweden peaked at 85% in the 1990s but has fallen to 59% in 2019.

Some American unions (primarily UAW and Teamsters) would have to fundamentally reform in order to act like European unions, and they would assuredly fight tooth and nail against such a change. Also, the kind of sector level salary negotiations common in Europe might fall foul of American collusion laws, and might anyhow be unpopular with local chapters (hypothetical example: if UAW and all major automotive manufacturers decided to set wages at South Carolina levels nationally, that would be a pay cut in the Midwest).
I think that part of the appreciation that we have for content, is the amount of effort put in it, even when the result is similar. I don't think a lot of people would visit a museum if they knew upfront that 90% of the art was low effort stuff, generated by AI. A chess tournament with human players will be more interesting to visitors than a tournament with a bunch of chess bots playing each other. Interacting with bots on HN wouldn't be fun at all if you knew they were bots, even when they are indistinguishable from real humans.
maybe a good starting point would be the subset which is supported by dillo or elinks today?

The goalposts remain the same, it's a one example of what they are. Some people are forced into situations they have to use one product over another, the situation isn't a matter of people having equal footing to just choose a non-integrated device all the time.

Of course you're welcome to use another device for your personal things but this doesn't mean the other choice limitations of the device in the required case are no longer present.

Personally I don't like whether an example of being boxed in is present as a decider though. My argument against it, instead of saying it just never happens, is that there needs to be a critical mass of occurrences. I.e. I think there are costs to both choosing to regulate or not regulate and it's a matter of when one outweighs the other not as much when some specific event occurs to some people. So, while many people do have to use Apple products for certain things in certain scenarios, it's not necessarily wrong by that fact. It's that it's so entrenched. I wouldn't call it a monopoly but I also don't want to wait until things are that bad to ever do anything, otherwise you end up with Microsofts doing massive damage before being reeled in.

If you live somewhere that desal is the way you get your drinking / irrigation water, it makes sense that rather than storing energy to run desal continuously you can run desal intermittently and store water.

You already need infrastructure to store fresh water for later use, and storing water for later use is relatively low loss (depending on the scale --- outdoor reservoirs can have a lot of loss). There's always a question of capital costs, of course: does it make more sense to have a higher capacity plant with a lower duty cycle where the duty cycle that uses mostly off-peak priced energy, or a lower capacity plant with a higher duty cycle which uses on-peak priced energy much of the time.

Most energy consumers don't care about getting to net 0, they want to pay less for energy, if energy is a large part of their input costs.

Intermittent operations do help get to net 0 though --- if all energy intensive uses could handle intermittent operations, it allows for more intermittent generation. It certainly doesn't get you all the way though; there's lots of uses that won't work well without continuous energy.
