That's not really the proper response, since it doesn't address their actual argument. People arguing against drug legalization don't want other people doing drugs. The argument against them is around personal freedom and a

The person I'm replying to said "Ma Bell didn't collude with Russia to influence a presidential election and install a puppet president". They're implying that Facebook, in contract to Ma Bell, did do these thing.

> [Facebook colluded] with Russia to influence a presidential election and install a puppet president. This is a conspiracy theory, and really diminishes the level of the conversation here.

How exactly did you come up with that direction for the causal relationship?

I have a difficult time understanding this world view. A worker choosing on their own to work extra to get ahead is called sacrifice, and is one of the things that differentiates people who do enough to get a paycheck and people who get

I wonder how long it will be before they shutdown their own Citus Cloud hosted offering, which is hosted on AWS. Seems obvious that will become part of Azure soon.

The problem with Rawls is that, brought to its logical conclusion, his ideas essentially say that you can all but enslave the most effective people in your society to benefit the least advantaged, so long as they are slightly more advantage

The typical approach is to setup Fluentd for logging. You set it up as a daemonset, and have it mount /var/docker from the host. That gives it access to all container logs, which you then stream to your desired store.

That's what I was trying to get at with the question about what people are using the service for. I guess better phrase would be "what are people watching". Once or twice a month I'll open Netflix, browse around, try to

What are you all actually using Netflix for anymore? I keep a subscription for my kids, and will watch a documentary maybe once a month, but their in-house content seems to be the primary offering now and my impression has been that it&#x27

I think this sort of response is really unfortunate. I don't think their reply was at all out of order, they simply extended your argument, and I would have very much liked to read a genuine reply.

What about a job is unfair, exactly?

Ah, you're correct. I mistook the top poster here, iandanforth, as saying they were the author. Edited.

She's definitely right that the quality of their support has tanked. I've had significant connection issues where people on other carriers have none and their support personnel sent me useless boilerplate questions after I request

Choosing to open a business that pays minimum wage in an area without housing that is affordable for minimum wage workers inherently generates traffic, doesn't it? I don't have a very solid opinion on all this, honestly, but it se

Groceries are generally taxed differently because people need to eat. It is not a human necessity to travel long distances to work. It seems to me, if you subsidize travel for low earner you're subsidizing companies that pay their empl

Well, maybe there is a lesson in that. We have to think about what the benefits of each person commuting is. Does it make sense to fill up highways with people going to work in e.g. fast food restaurants? If the McDonalds employee has to pa

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have said "in this context", I'm not familiar with the term at all. I was trying to differentiate from just the literal "awake" and "conscious", as in not asleep. I assumed

An executive from a pharmacy chain joining Tesla is significantly less relevant to a tech community than one of the highest profile tech executives in history. Not everything is racist, which is what you seem to be implying by highlighting

In large part by exploiting government contracts, as I understand it. Government procurement is about as far from a free market as I can imagine, and is pretty easy to exploit.

If you have an argument to make about why this line of thinking is worrisome or lacking in understanding you ought to make it. As it stands your comment is just patronizing.

I'm struggling to see your point. A company at a size that I assume reddit is is going to have dedicated infrastructure engineers and dedicated UI/UX/design people. They are almost definitely separate groups, regardless of th

I would be very surprised if the people working on UI/UX and the people working on network visibility and routing were the same group. I suspect you are mentally constructing a zero sum situation where there is not one. I don't us

Envoy is a networking tool. Wouldn't have much to do with a frontend redesign. They're very far apart in a tech stack.

The only time I have an issue with this sort of setup is when the commercial entity employs, or directly is itself, a primary maintainer of the open source project (not sure how that works for Confluent and Kafka). It creates an incentive s
