   That is one alternative hypothesis. The reality may be even more complex than that. We don't really understand these brain systems and of course they're all tangled up in feedback loops with each other. I do wonder though if it do

   I wonder if the cryptocurrency bubble also soaked up a lot of money that might otherwise have been playing in the angel investing market...

   This is the most powerful thing they could do. There are a ton of services that are almost impossible to deliver at scale without a lot of data. If only there were a company that was trustworthy...

   I just hate unnecessary complexity. I am not sure if the complexity in k8s is necessary or not. Mighy be.

   > do not attempt to host your own Kubernetes if you can possibly avoid it. We use Google's Kubernetes and are pretty happy with it, but overall this statement bothers me. It's absolutely true. Don't get me wrong. The probl

   I'd say dont disable mitigations on systems not used for only trusted code. I'd do it on e.g. HPC or dedicated metal server nodes. I'd never disable it on a desktop or mixed tenancy node.

   I tried it but it never seems to work all that well for me. It also has terrible UX with confusing options.

   Why exactly did the US go so crazy against drugs? Seems like after WWII this war on drugs mentality took root and probably peaked in the 1980s or so with the peak of the WWII generation's power.

   Are there any good open source live sync tools? Even one way sync with rsync is slow and two way is as you say a kludge. Seems like there is not much open source stuff out there for this and certainly nothing that can sync like these cloud

    IPv6 was designed long before surveillance capitalism was a concern and before security in general was as much of a concern as it is today. Addresses don't have to be assigned that way. There are other ways of assigning addresses inclu

    VTVL (vertical takeoff, vertical landing) rockets have been talked about since sci-fi in the 30s and seriously since the 50s. We only just started getting real ones (SpaceX, Blue Origin), though in the 90s there was a prototype called the D

    "There is no one best way" summarizes what I think is a major unheralded realization in software engineering in the past 10 years. Before that it was the search for the One Way. OOP and functional programming were probably the two

    OOP is a way of thinking about and structuring your program that works well for some problem domains and not for others. Like other paradigms it can become dogmatic and be overused. Also like other paradigms it became a huge fad for a while

    I understand the economics of course but it seems obvious to me that if real newspapers charge then propaganda and anger porn will rule discourse. If you want some more on the list for balance there are plenty of left wing Breitbarts you co

    I wonder if this isn't why Moore's Law appears to be slowing down. Maybe there are still huge gains to be made but the economic drive is not there.

    This is the only good reply I've seen so far. I think a lot of information economies suffer from oversupply. I've heard it said that there are too many books, too much music, too many different open source projects trying to solve

    Housing in the suburbs was more expensive in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, but that is no longer true in many cities. Excluding the most affluent suburbs higher quality urban real estate is often more expensive. Suburbs closer to city cent

    Is there a shortcut? I'm sure some improvements can be made but I am skeptical of the idea that science is just doing it wrong.

    Lots of haters here. This company is trying to build a real alternative to the Apple/Google/MS oligopoly based on open source and respect for privacy. I'm really really tempted.

    If we have gotten to the point where people are unwilling to trade a six figure job with free sushi for a six figure job without free sushi to stand up for what is right, we have bigger problems.

    The same is generally true for things written in Go, Java, C#, etc. Strong typing and memory safety eliminate huge classes of common bugs.
