You don't build your own Kubernetes, though. You run EC2 instances that are sized for the container they run and let autoscaling take care of it. Load balancers distribute the load. Kubernetes makes use of a lot of the same stuff, but

You seem to be asserting that the ability of Linux containers to isolate workloads is on par with virtual machines. That's just not the case.

Packing everything together is a "selling point" until you find that a service can fill up ephemeral storage and take down other services, or consume bandwidth without limit. Let's not forget the potential security implicatio

Is that sort of like how the normal process for vaccine approval is the _definition_ of "safe", and yet government officials and media keep insisting that vaccines approved on an emergency use basis are "safe"? The scien

Employers are already intrinsically motivated to pay as little as they can get away with. Isn't the fact that they are willing to pay more the best kind of proof?

I think that you stretched the game analogy far beyond what reality allows for. Virtual avatars don't actually "need" anything. Sure, there are things you _want_ in the game. You won't freeze to death without clothing, y

Liberal strongholds tend to be soft on crime. When your response to someone who assaults another person "just because" is a slap on the wrist, it's no surprise they move on to more heinous crimes. "But the guy didn'

You don't need a switchblade to kill somebody. A steak knife or a filet knife will do just as well. Should we ban those, too?

What I believe is this: people are complex creatures with sophisticated brains. Measuring "ability" objectively is nigh-impossible for a lot of things, but it's not impossible to get a general sense of someone's ability

Indeed. That's a legitimate, actionable concern. I don't think this is something that is trivially solvable. I suspect (though don't know) that teachers are happier when they have gifted students than not. You'd feel lik

That does exist, but I think we could do a better job pre-high school. At least at the high school I went to (which wasn't highly regarded, or anything) there were remedial classes for kids who were behind, and honors classes for kids

by dolni 6y ago
To be blunt, this sounds like a lot of flowery-language bullshit that isn't backed by anything. Anybody who has been through education has observed that there are the people who "get it" and the people who struggle. And simil

Whether it is a good test depends on what you're trying to measure and what you want a college degree to convey. If a college degree in photography should state _only_ that a person has some knowledge and competence in photography, the

Point taken and I agree with the examples you provided. I would argue this is not quite the problem you make it out to be, because generally speaking, people tend to be strong or weak in a subject overall. If you're generally good at m

I think we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good, here. Yes, ability measurement is sort of fuzzy and it's not perfect. It at least gives you a starting point. There would be no doubt in anybody's mind that we shouldn&#x

Good K-12 schools _do_ batch people by ability, though. The inner city schools -- the ones that are struggling, they do a poor job putting underperforming students into remedial courses. They similarly do a poor job putting high performing

Most universities require either an ACT or SAT test score to prove your ability. These are not administered by universities, though.

It makes sense to group people for education based on ability. If a low performer is in a class of high performers, one of two things will likely happen: * the low performer will be left behind, because the course moves too quickly or sets
