I had never heard of The Awl. Opening their home page, the main thing I see is an article titled "The Miscellaneous Bros of Bodybuilding.com" with the tag "A waste of virgins". Based on this extremely limited exposure, I

Fair point. Still, political correctness is very much about avoiding offense or further disadvantage toward marginalized groups. It still doesn't fit to claim it's politically incorrect to go after rich white people. It's a p

That's fantastic. I believe Men's Warehouse's founder (who has been ousted) also advocated for something similar. I wonder how well those "second chance" hires end up working out compared to typical hires. I have to

I may be misunderstanding you, but politically attacking rich people and white people are some of the most popular things going right now, especially among the demographic common around HN. It's almost the opposite of politically incor

I don't have a comment on the content of the article itself, though it will be interesting to see how the competing standards shake out in the longterm. I did want to say that while I read through the article I was struck by how high q

Mentioning strace in an article titled "Learn just enough Linux to get things done" seems so out of place as to be absurd, even in an "Advanced" section. Anyone who needs the rest of this advice is going to be absolutely

This is really the strongest argument I've seen of any of this being a problem. Coming to any country as an immigrant is a privilege, and it the immigrants prerogative whether or not they feel the terms are acceptable. It is, however,

I wouldn't say that you're unnecessarily scaring yourself at all. Kubernetes is extremely complex. I've been running it for a few months and I'm just starting to get my hands around it. Things will just stop working for

It is your responsibility to filter content not appropriate for your particular situation, not everyone else's. There are countless simple ways for you to avoid sites you don't want to see. Expecting everyone else to filter what t

I don't follow the logic here. Gawker was brought down via the Hogan case, which was financed by Thiel. Do you believe the Hogan case was an illegitimate suit? If not, why does it matter who financed it? I find the fact that it require

I find this disgusting. I couldn't really care less what advertisers put out, but banning messages simply because they don't conform to the current political winds is troubling.

I'm not surprised. There are very few mass appeal deals in Prime Day, and the Echo devices are heavily subsidized. I think it's more a statement of how lackluster Prime Day continues to be than it is a success of Echo.

I've setup a handful of K8s cluster on AWS, some of them using Kops. I would say it's the easiest time I've had, and it's what I chose for production. My only real complaint is that it requires extremely broad IAM permis

Can you expand on that? I'm not familiar enough with how boards operate to understand what you mean.

Oh, you're preaching to the choir, friend. I very intentionally try to stay with modern trends, and evangelize to my fellow Ops people to do the same in order to continue providing value. The job description changes almost year to year

Can you explain why that is? I'm not clear on how that's the case.

I suppose it's a bit stingy, but the fact that this is basically a semi-stealth ad for the Home, and the giant ad for the Home on the page, is a turn off on this. Cramming ads even into "jokes" kills what little fun there is

My understanding is it's largely demands of VC. They want to be able to check in on their investments, and having to hop on a plane to do that isn't convenient. That has always struck me as odd, since the invested money would go f

I wouldn't expect rent to have fallen in 2008. Thousands of people were losing the homes they owned and becoming renters, sky-rocketing the demand for rental property.
