People have been making great arguments for decades, but that hasn't worked. There hasn't been any substantial change. In fact, Trump has been gutting environmental laws, rolling back emissions rules, and castrating agencies like

That's what the data shows.

Yeah, good idea, let's do nothing for another 100 years.

C isn't happening yet, and congress is still about 2/3rd boomers. I don't think A is significant enough to affect retirement accounts, so it's not something boomers are passionate about.

This is correct. It's not generating the clicks anymore, so they've moved on to other things. The media only cares about whatever gets the most eyeballs.

That's what they want you to think. The war machine is a jobs program, but they could just as easily spend the same money on something more useful like infrastructure projects or social programs.

Meh, I've worked for more than one of these, and I'd say they are thinly veiled hiring or marketing material.

I would be less bothered by it if someone was building something other than killing machines. And I really don't care what flag someone waves, nationalism is dumb.

I'm also very concerned about climate change. I feel like boomers have robbed young people of their futures.

That's fair, I am well aware of my luck in this case. I guess I just wish that someone had explained to me the real value of SV lottery tickets when I was younger. FWIW I grew up poor, and am certainly not wealthy now (I'm still a

Yeah, this makes sense. I got it especially bad, since I joined startups that raised a huge amount of money on promises of riches, and then failed after burning through hundreds of millions of dollars. The founders cashed out before the com

That's the correct term for what happens when animals get together and create copies of themselves.

The rubberizing thing is similar to the helmet effect with bicycles: injuries tend to increase when people wear helmets while riding bicycles, likely because they're more willing to take risks. As far as peanuts go, it's out of my

I agree with this. My family didn't have money to buy me things, but I found ways to get into computers and programming myself. In the 7th grade I started helping the school computer teacher run the IT systems because the school didn&#

Kids need to learn things themselves and walk their own path. Sure you can guide them away from bad things, but there is too much hand holding and coddling of young people these days. One example is lining playgrounds with rubberized materi

"standing by" until they're not. If their VCs start applying pressure to dump the unprofitable projects and seek more profits, their tune will change in an instant. At the end of the day these are for-profit entities, and the

While I have no interest in breeding, if I did have kids I would let them choose their own interests rather than forcing mine onto them.

I used to do sales for an enterprise "open source" software product, so I get it, but the truth is as soon as someone stops paying people to keep the project going it will die.

That's a fair point, I guess it depends on your use case. The risk, however, is that the powers that be at HashiCorp one day decide to abandon Nomad once they realize it will never be a profit centre for them.

People should check out https://lobste.rs/ , it's like HN but with less censorship and less content marketing BS.

Expect the pay to be half or less, but you get better overall benefits, a higher standard of living, in exchange for long winters and a mostly car-based society.

The main missing feature is that it's not kubernetes.
24.
by 4636760295 6y ago
I worked at a hedge fund that also used nomad. The problem, however, is not how well it scales or whatever, but the fact that all the accompanying deployment info and literature is for kubernetes, and k8s has far more features. I like the q

This is great and it's something I'd definitely buy for my dog.

*most VCs dreadfully underperform. Even the top performers don't do so well once you factor in fees and everything else.

I feel strongly that ads are a net-negative to society in their current form. They provide some value (a way for people offering products to reach an audience) but the current implementation doesn't work. Ads make sense in certain scen

Whether you agree or not with the content of the book, censorship is pretty much always wrong. If we censored all history about the Nazi's and their ideology, we'd never be able to learn to avoid such atrocities.

If you have 1,000 cops, and 1 of them does something bad while the other 999 take no action, then you have 1,000 bad cops.
