I don't think it was a good way to make the point though. And at least in the UK, they arrested, prosecuted, and convicted 567 people in 2017-2018 alone for violations of the Communications Act of 2003[1]. The convictions mostly seem to be for Tweets and Facebook messages.

You can certainly boot up your own K8s cluster, any way you'd like to, just by enlisting a bunch of Fly Machines and configuring them yourself. A Fly Machine is just a VM, and you have root in the VM. You can set up systemd, you can set up Docker, you can run kubelets on all your Machines.

The thought here is: Fly.io already does a lot of the things any K8s distribution would do. If you were to boot up a complete K8s distribution on your own Fly Machines, running oblivious to the fact that they were on Fly.io, you'd be duplicating some of the work we'd already done (that's fine, maybe you like your way better, but still, bear with me).

So, rather than setting up a "vanilla" K8s that works the same way it would if you were on, like, Hetzner or whatever, you can instead boot up a drastically stripped down K8s (based on K3s and Virtual Kubelet) that defers some of what K8s does to our own APIs. Instead of a cluster of scheduling servers synchronized with Raft, you just run a single SQLite database. Instead of bin-packing VMs with Docker and a kubelet, you just run everything as an independent Fly Machine.

We took the time to write about this because it was interesting to us (I think we expected a K8s to be more annoying for us to roll, and when it was easier we got a lot more interested). There are probably a variety of reasons to consider alternative formulations of K8s!

"I value Figma the product, I couldn't care less about how much money they raised" is an argument like "My power comes out the socket, so I couldn't care less about building power plants". It's hard to have one without the other. Figma the product was built with the the money they raised.
This is going to get really good when zlibc is done, you'll be able to for example, override the c stdlib "free" function in the c code and add features, for example (runtime) UAF/DF detection with metadata tracking (like stacktraces of where the memory was created and freed)
Short Answer : New steel is coming from overseas.

I think regions / steel industries in the region go through phases. I can draw upon my experience with one of the biggest steel manufacturers in India and Europe. SE Asia is going through a phase where most of the steel consumption is met by primary steel, new steel made from blast furnaces consuming iron ore. A lot of that steel is exported but there is a very big domestic market.

The need for secondary steel (made from old steel scraps) will become important in the future for SE Asia. Back in the US, this is already the case.

Primary and Secondary steel have different properties. Secondary steel can not be used for some applications, they can only use Primary. Vice versa, using primary steel for some applications might not be economically feasible for some applications.
Not if it’s destructive. Not entirely sure what the procedure is to digitize them but if the original is lost in the process, no amount of digital decentralization will help that and there are plenty of good arguments against relying on digital storage solutions for long term data storage. They’re just not long term enough (yet)

My devil's advocate for Apple is that iMessage is relatively free of spam because of the exclusive architecture tied to hardware.

The issue isn't so much Beeper as it is the open the door to anyone on the Internet. I.e. Apple probably cares little about Beeper itself, and more about the risk of 3rd party software accessing its services/users.

A good number of us have had to combat spam/abuse in our careers, and we're sympathetic to the plight.

We're not a K8s vendor. We're a lower-level platform than that. If all you care about is K8s, and no part of the rest of our platform is interesting to you --- the global distribution and Anycast, the fly-proxy features, the Machines API --- we're not a natural fit for what you're doing.

We were surprised at how FKS turned out, which is part of why we decided to launch it as a feature and all of why we wrote it up this way. That's all.
For some teams it's just a philosophical decision, but many larger enterprises have mandatory requirements which makes OSS software much easier to adopt (this is in relation to infrastructure products of course).
> Prices increase when costs go up

I'd contend that costs going up is _a_ cause of price increases.

I believe it comes at the exact time -and in opposition to- of the masses coming to terms with the climate change challenge.

We have to transition away from fossil fuels, but they are so intertwined with our lives it also means strong degrowth (count the times transporting was necessary to your activity today, or the number of times you touched a plastic or steel item, or just consider half your nitrogen came from an industrial Haber process column)

SV's philosophy is based on growth, and this is anathema. IMHO this is a half-conscious attempt to impose an alternative, or to shed future potential obligations.

It feels like we're in a Greek tragedy: everyone plays the role one was made to honestly play, and that makes the catastrophe inevitable.
The whole Nikola situation was fascinating to me at the time.

I shorted the shares and bought puts in the days to couple of months following the Hindenburg publication. I was surprised at how long the shares held up; they were still trading around $10/sh when I closed the last of my shorts at the end of 2021 (~15 months after the publication which was never substantially refuted and never substantially in doubt as far as I could tell).

I would have expected a much quicker and less orderly collapse of share prices and the absence of that made me question my understanding of the stock market entirely, specifically my previous belief that “all public information is quickly priced in.” (That is still not entirely resolved for me.)
Yes, people whose opinions are formed by propaganda still think their opinions are informed. And they are. By propaganda. Something does not have to be untrue to be propaganda.

There’s quite a bit of anti-pet propaganda put out ironically by two groups that have diametrically opposed viewpoints: ones that love animals and ones that hate them. But that’s not what I was referring to mostly.

There’s also a lot of environmental propaganda that makes people feel as if every little thing that brings them joy must be curtailed because it contributes to global warming or they’re evil. That is propaganda from the people who make trillions off of fossil fuel or the energy derived from it, they want you to worry about your dog’s environmental impact despite the fact that climate change is 98% a matter of public policy. As long as you’re focusing on whether or not you should take that plane trip or have a dog you’re not worried about why there isn’t a carbon tax, and why the emitters get by year after year without being forced to pay for their negative externalities. And if that all sounds a little too tinfoil hat for you I totally understand, but read all the recently released documents from the plastic industry about how they promoted recycling, knowing full well that it neither worked nor helped the environment when it was done, so that you’d feel better about using their products.

They want you to think climate change is your fault and can be fixed if you just drive a more efficient car, or install a heat pump, or don’t have a dog. It can’t. We can all spend all our time doing all the little things we’re told matter, but at the end of the day our personal choices are a drop in the bucket compared to industrial/agricultural choices we have no say over. You can only make a difference in climate change at the voting booth. They know it but they don’t want you to.

Responsible pet ownership has relatively low (and certainly not unfathomable) environmental impact. One does not have to eradicate entire species just because some assholes let their cats roam free. Just don’t let your pets roam free.

Keep loving your dog and letting others love theirs. Pick up after it, don’t let it off leash, certainly don’t let it murder local fauna all day, and don’t worry about the CO2 emissions involved in its food. It’s negligible.
And it also runs on natural gas all day and night, so why bother with solar at all? Sans incentives and regulations, solar makes little economic sense for most use cases.

Steel (and in general metal) production most definitely uses electricity, and copious amounts of it.

> Everything scans the filesystem very fast and there is no way it is just using 'stat' on every file then diving into the directories.

The last time I checked, Everything worked by using the AV calls microsoft provides; anytime a file is written, the name (and other metadata) can be written to a log that Everything can check once every 5 seconds or so.

If I thought there was any money at all to be made from providing an Everything equivalent[1] on Linux, I'd spend the week or so to write it, but as far as I can tell there's just no market for something like this.

[1] By that I mean "similar in performance and query capabilities"; I would obviously need more time than that to hook into the common file-open dialog widgets (Gnome/KDE/etc) so that users could run their queries straight from existing file dialog widgets.

I don't disagree with what you're saying, at all, but the implication is still basically "And employees want someone else to be a bag holder, too!"

And having been in that position several times, I definitely don't blame them! Employees also have the much tougher constraints that they can't diversify their employment like VCs can diversify their investments.

But still, it's the same dynamic that people want to get rich, and the downstream consequences be damned.

To me, that's well worth it if the experience is unique, interesting, emotionally moving, etc.

I think that measuring something like that in terms of dollars per hour is a bit reductionist. I'd rather have a short but impactful game over something that sprawls for 40+ hours but doesn't do much with that time. Cocoon was around 5 hours for $25, but I don't regret that purchase for a second.

But when there are so many games out there vying for attention - and I don't know if the game will 'click' with me in advance, I myself often wait for sales. Most of what I buy ends up being in the $10-$30 range, and I frequently play games many years after their release. By then, computers have advanced so the game runs better, bugs have been patched, expansions released, etc.

I get the humor, but I do feel as if there's some converse to Sturgeon's Law in certain areas, in that for some things, 90% of everything is more than sufficient for most people or situations.

Athletics is maybe a good example. A bunch of caveats aside, most products being marketed to the broadest markets will more than suffice, and expensive alternatives have only marginal actual utility for a miniscule subset of those markets. There have been studies showing, for example, that the actual gains for use of super running shoes are very small in absolute terms, and generally only apply to elite runners; typical runners, even good but not elite runners, may not see any gains, and may even lose time from them. What gains they might have are not going to make a difference to their times in the grand scheme of things. I think similar arguments could be made for a lot of cycling products etc.

Maybe they're different issues but sometimes I feel like Sturgeon's Law applies well, and sometimes the opposite is true.

A huge amount of global iron ore comes from Australia. [0,1]

And globally in descending reserves order: Australia, Brazil, Russia. China's extraction:reserves ratio is much higher and will exhaust reserves much quicker than the others.

So it'd make more sense to smelt it close, given the volume/weight ratio of ore to refined material.

The Russian sociopolitical culture is very imperialist, which is no surprise given that the country is one of the few remaining colonial empires in the most traditional sense (i.e. the metropole milking vast occupied territories), and it cannot really exist as a single entity without this kind of politics.

That said, leadership does matter. These kinds of ideas find support in Russian society when they are put front and center, but without someone to actively do that, people just grumble about "them not respecting us as they used to" etc.

At the same time, Putin does not represent the most radical manifestation of this ideology, either. Someone like e.g. Strelkov could truly go all in on "gathering the lands", as Russian historiography usually describes re-occupation.

This is always the concern. Anyone who seriously studies social science shares this perspective with you.

But these changes don’t usually happen until we have atrociously difficult or insanely outrageous behavior from the government, or conditions that are incredibly poor. People don’t make these kinds of changes easily and will argue for the status quo until the very, very last opportunity generally. At that point it is an inevitability…

Still, worthy point.
It is my impression that checks and balances, constitutions etc need to work exactly in times of crisis. If they only work when everything is all right, they are useless. Especially when it comes to freedom.

The fact that a government minister even wrote in a book (hastily taken off the market) that he hoped the situation would be used for "a new cultural hegemony" speaks volumes.

Didn't dictatorships always use justifications for threats or emergencies to be instated?

An emergency doesn't justify taking away fundamental freedoms. Hence, anything the EU does in this space, justified or not, must be scrutinized.
