That's ironic that Merkel tried to whitewash Germany's image as a former Nazi country by accepting millions of immigrants from Middle East and Africa, but also caused the rise German nationalists which is looked at with unease.
Thanks for sharing this! I had to do exactly the same thing some 10 years ago to get an Oracle instance up and running again. Oracle insisted on using the /tmp location, despite being installed on a different drive, and the disk was full. As I had access to the Oracle system user, but not to the DBA user to change any configuration, I built a similar shared lib and preloaded it to the script. Worked like a charm! Happy to know that there is something _slightly more streamlined_ to do that now.

Where do you live that it's hard to sell a few acre parcel? That is not my experience at all in multiple states I have knowledge of.

Also, most people have little sympathy for someone who just inherited assets worth more than $13M (and likely double that if married) before you owe a penny in taxes. If it's a legitimate business, get a loan to pay them and continue getting even wealthier. If not, sell it all and never work a day in your life again. In fact, option two sounds pretty good to me either way :)

Most of my k8s experience is from using it 4 years ago, so it may be better with storage now. But we required bare metal for all our dbs. We required full performance.

We did have redis in k8s, but the redis cluster our team needed was over 50 nodes and was experiencing all kinds of odd problems and our ops team insisted we move to vms. Performance was better. We didn't use disc, all memory. Wish I could recall the issues better.

After being indoctrinated to hate everything about the west and Christianity for most of my life — through school, university, news media, entertainment, and the administrative state
— and after coming to hate the west and Christianity as a consequence of this indoctrination, I really found the following books to be the ultimate mindfucks:

- Heretics by GK Chesterton

- Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton

- Debunking Howard Zinn: Exposing the Fake History That Turned a Generation against America by Mary Grabar

- A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell

- Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World by Tom Holland

Before looking at the list, two of the books that came to my mind as possible candidates were Permutation City by Greg Egan, and Glasshouse by Charles Stross. Permutation City made the list, and I definitely endorse it.

Glasshouse is not on the list, but I definitely think it's worth a read.

Neuromancer is on the list and it may be my personal favorite novel (if not #1 on my list, it's very close).

A couple of Murakami novels were on the list here. I've read several of his novels and would basically make a blanket statement "read anything by Murakami".

I try to explain it shortly:
The encrypted data is in a different datacenter than the keys needed to decrypt the data. The services we implemented to bring both together run in an secured environment that has no services implemented to access the servers and where physical access is restricted. Errors and monitoring data gets out, PII does not. Everything is documented and was inspected and certified by a 3rd party.
If a customer requests to delete his data we instantly delete the key, a litte later we delete the (already useless) data and all backups will lose this information about a month later too.

And of course we did that not because we are nice people (though we belive we are). We did it, because we had the hypothesis that a reputation to handle the user-data with proofable utmost respect to security and privacy would be more valuable than having access to this data.

People not believing us or accusing us of lying obviously defy that hypothesis.
I approve of this level of nitpickery. :)
You regularly get inject people with unknown DNA and mRNA without their consent, e.g. sneezing at work.

It's much more ethical to do this with something tested for safety than with the newest flues, colds, and covids spreading. That's not to mention RSV, HSV, HPV, and all the others, as well as unknown diseases.

Unless you continue to mask and take similar precautions, you have no basis for this assertion. The things you spread have had no safety testing, and in many cases, lead to specific impacts like long covid, increased age-related mental decline, increased odds of cancer, and others.
> your custom chip in your system was less expensive than adopting an off the shelf chip

That's a tall order - off the shelf is rarely very expensive for the functionality you get (that is, compared to design cost.)

And that's not necessary. If you could get a chip much more expensive but with specific advantages, you'd already have a business. See FPGAs.
Regarding the "1% of cyanide" comment, I’d like to share another perspective :)

Almost every tech company has private code—typically stored in private repositories. When working on Keep, we faced a decision: should we place certain code in the EE folder under a different license or keep it in a private repo, only sharing it with a small group of enterprise customers who explicitly requested it?

We chose to put that code on GitHub.

Ironically, putting more code in the GitHub repo made it appear "less open source," even though we could have simply hidden it, making the repo look like "clean OSS" as multiple companies do. For example, those who put their products without Web UI to the open source, build UI privately and serve the "full" version in the cloud.

Kafka is good in a weird fucked up way and to be recommended after one had to deal with the legal system for example.

Peter Caroll is interesting, if you like the occult.

A theologist like Leibniz is concerned with dogmas, which are like axioms: They are assumed to be true and form the basis of a logical system, that is supposed to consistent.

Beside that Leibniz contributes to a thousands of years old discussion about theodicy, the righteousness of god.

Let's look at the historical context first, because your bible verse is fitting:

In many cultures of the ancient world, misfortunes and disasters are said to be the result of a divine punishment. This can be seen in the old testament on many occasions, but it's basically the same in Greek societies etc.
Christian scholars read the book of Ijob as an instance, where this thought is challenged: Ijob is living a righteous live, why is he punished?

The book itself doesn't really give an answer to that, but in the ancient world view kin liability applies. So even when Ijob was sinless, he inherits the sin of his forefathers, going all the way back to Adam.

Your bible verse (Romans 5:12) is referring to that, but if you read a bit further, this world view of the old testament is contrasted with the new testament. To paraphrase: Where one man (Adam) brought sin into the life of many, now one man (Jesus) takes the sin from all.

So in the Christian doctrine the argument, that bad things happen to us due to inherited sin doesn't apply anymore.

Which leads us to the scholarly discussion, which Leibniz is part of. The central dogmas (axioms) of Christianity relevant for the theodicy question are the following:

* There is only one god

* God is almighty

* God is all-loving

* God is understandable, since God revealed himself through Jesus.

The job of philosopher/theologist is to resolve, the perceived contradiction, that bad things are happening to good people and a loving, almighty God wouldn't allow that.

The most common solution is to drop one of the axioms, e.g. "God wants to help us, but he can't" (not almighty) or "God works in mysterious ways" (not understandable).

Leibniz instead doesn't sidestep the problem and argues, that even the best possible world can't be free from sorrow.
I, personally, really like his line of thought, but this comment is already to long to describe it further.
Sensible. Kubernetes is an anti-pattern, along with containerized production applications in general.

-replicates OS services poorly

-OS is likely running on a hypervisor divvying up hardware resources into VPS's

-wastes ram and cpu cycles

-forces kubectl onto everything

-destroys integrity of kernel networking basic principles

-takes advantage of developer ignorance of OS and enhances it

I get it, it's a handy hack, for non production services or oneoff installs, but then its basically just a glorified VM

I would also love some more traditional explanation of the ideas. My impression is the author is operating outside "the field", in a traditional academic sense, whether you are referring to AI/ML or game theory research. I had a bit of a search for citations or other mentions of their 9x3 nerrative logic or Conversational Game theory and only found their own sites (in a few different places https://bigmotherdao.com/f-a-q/, parley.aikiwiki.com) or an article under some contention by the author themselves on RationalWiki https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Rome_Viharo. The mentioned professor James H. Fallon doesn't appear to have clear links to project outside of what is stated in the article.

My crank-o-meter (great phrase) overflowed at this point, but I am also genuinely interested in some kind of more clarity around the ideas, or where they came from in an academic legacy sense, as they felt like they might have some interesting bones.

It's much less time consuming for a reader that does not want to invest hours in videos or actually taking part of the experiment. On the other side, those readers might not be of interest to the authors so this is a way to let them go.

simple - performance is often garbage. web apps use more cpu and memory than a native app. people should not need an M1 MacBook or better just to edit a document. (see top comment)

The only reason people build “apps” in the browser to begin with is because it simplifies the development for the engineering team. Easier to ship, easier to update, write once, etc. Sometimes the user benefits, but rarely.

The other problem I have is it blurs the lines between data on your machine (private) and data that is in the cloud. not everybody wants all their data in the cloud. When you’re working with a “app” in the web browser it’s not always clear.

nixos.wiki was the primary wiki before NixOS really had an official one. Now there is the official wiki.nixos.org and the NixOS foundation asked the nixos.wiki maintainer to cooperate on the new wiki but they refused. Now there are multiple problems[1] with nixos.wiki and the maintainer in unresponsive so although unfortunately it's ranked higher in search results, in my experience you'll get better information on the official wiki.

>Social media is also a platform for Russian troll farms of course.

You meant American, right?

"By 2010, the military began using social media tools, leveraging phony accounts to spread messages of sympathetic local voices – themselves often secretly paid by the United States government. As time passed, a growing web of military and intelligence contractors built online news websites to pump U.S.-approved narratives into foreign countries. Today, the military employs a sprawling ecosystem of social media influencers, front groups and covertly placed digital advertisements to influence overseas audiences, according to current and former military officials.

...

Nevertheless, the Pentagon’s clandestine propaganda efforts are set to continue. In an unclassified strategy document last year, top Pentagon generals wrote that the U.S. military could undermine adversaries such as China and Russia using “disinformation spread across social media, false narratives disguised as news, and similar subversive activities [to] weaken societal trust by undermining the foundations of government.”

And in February, the contractor that worked on the anti-vax campaign – General Dynamics IT – won a $493 million contract. Its mission: to continue providing clandestine influence services for the military."[0]

> the haves get their information from trustworthy sources through their in-group

Then why are their actions more harmful than any other class? I see them:

* Starting proxy wars, fueling climate doubt, lobbying/destroying governments to allow every kind of degradation of every commons.

* Paying people 6 or 7 figures to confuse and divide the people earning 5 or 6 figures.

* Apparently utterly ignorant of their legacy, which will be one of murderous self-interest and absurd delusion.

Do all their "trustworthy sources" feed their biases and class interests, their self-delusions, their greed? It's astounding how people can have all the facts and teachers in the world, while dodging genuine understanding of everything most important.

Inspired by someone's comment on Reddit, I have setup this routine on my Samsung phone:

- when app X is opened
- start 10 minutes timer (wait)
- turn on blue color filter
- turn on grayscale mode
- flash screen

This is particularly effective with photo/videos social media apps (e.g. Instagram), as with all colors dulled down they lose much of their appeal. Not so much on text-based apps like Reddit.
Therefore, a couple of days ago I went even more nuclear and added two more steps:

- wait 3 more minutes
- close the app

When that happens, I just put my phone away. It's hard, because when the routine starts running (i.e. when I open the targeted apps) a notification shows up, and I can kill it right away from there, preventing it from triggering the annoying effects. Also if I switch apps and come back the timer resets.
A tiny amount of willpower is needed anyway to make these things work.
Another thing I did was to put a "Screen Time" widget on my homescreen, so I any time I unlock my phone I am reminded of how much time I am throwing away Doom Scrolling (that's also the name of the routine, btw).

Both of these things can also be implemented with iOS, as it also has a Screen Time widget, and the capability of turning your screen to grayscale after X seconds when an app is opened via Shortcuts' automation (although I prefer Samsung's routines are they are much more versatile).

The basic idea of having government regulators, antagonistic, to the profit driven sector they are trying to control

There are some "above average" books intersperced in this list, but a casual reader will not know how to find them among the books being there simply on the virtue of being good and 50-100 years old. Being old book is not a virtue, unless we are in a history class.
