The amount of complexity created in the desperate attempt to avoid learning k8s APIs has at this point, dramatically out complexified k8s itself.

Not a story you’d hear in a poor fishing village I’d imagine.

Right that makes sense, but if that’s a serious drain of energy then one would imagine clogged pipes cause dramatically more waste? Seems like small potatoes compared to having clean drinking water.

You possibly have healthy enamel. I do not - and fluoride has been shown in many studies to prevent tooth decay. It’s also a heavy metal, so if you don’t have problems with tooth decay I’d say you have nothing to worry about :)

My RO system works purely on water pressure and requires no electricity. Do you mean the increased pressure causes increased power consumption?

There is a story like that with a preserved Bronze Age hut where knifes were found stashed in the thatched roof. A historian proposed it was a spiritual ritual surrounding their hunting weapons. The first parent that took a look knew what i

I'm aware it wastes an unfortunate amount of drinkable water. I'm also aware it filters things that might be beneficial, fluoride being one of them. I regret the water usage but I feel it a better alternative to poor health or bot

A semi-decent under-sink reverse osmosis system can remove the vast majority of chlorine from drinking water. If it's as bad as you say, I highly recommend the investment!

I’ll wait to hear more details rather than assuming everyone doing anything I have any question about is a liar or a grifter. Tunnels are cool. Small tunnels maybe less cool - but one can still imagine the uses. Here’s one: put it deep enou

Curious if others are familiar with the “dollar milkshake theory” - this seems to be the first sign of it being a miscalculation. Alternatively, this rate of dedollarization may have been calculated by the fed ahead of time. I’d love to kno

Just in time for re-shoring jobs to become a popular topic. I fear these workers may have bit the extremely frugal hand that feeds.

I can’t imagine who would suffer more, psychologically, from social media, than young women. I won’t pretend to guess at other causes. One thing that I’ve noticed in Gen Z is this repeated “I don’t feel like myself” sentiment. If any young

All of the problems you listed sound to me like earth-engineering problems, except for the "problem" of private property. I strongly disagree with the premise that social engineering raised us from tribal groups. It was agricultur

For some context, Rothbard is really hard on the volunteerism angle, he is a philosopher searching for non-violent ways of formulating society. He is one of the stronger "proto-libertarians" in my view because he recognizes that u

Yeah not to mention the construction of the plant itself! I wouldn’t want to be operating the drill that punctures the magma chambers! I’m optimistic. If we spent less time engineering society and more time engineering the earth, I think we

One assumes that this line of reasoning might easily lead one to, say, storm a capital? I mean, if you thought you could side-step moral problems in the name of the greater good - wouldn't it just be a matter of convincing yourself? If

Oh, this is so ripe for a totally unproductive flame-war. I don't know how anyone with eyes can walk around Warsaw and think it should look more like Minsk. And their "fascist" movements are... well... not quite as "fasc

That is fair enough for me! This is sometimes called "The Exceptional Man". The one who can murder murderers without committing a crime. I strongly recommend "Crime and Punishment" - the investigation of the exceptional

You're still missing my point. Let's consider murder. Of course "murdering a murderer" is less morally culpable than "murdering an innocent person", but it is still murder! We're not comparing the cost o

Ah, the ouroboros raises its head once more. If we force the machine to show a statistically representative group, are we being more or less racist than if we tell it to show us reality? Is there any meaningful difference between reality an

Have you spoken with any Polish people lately? No one is more anti-communist than the Poles in my limited experience. Warsaw makes San Francisco look like Moscow.

That's pretty sad, as there is some great content on Mises.org. Some of the editorials/writers are lousy, like with any magazine, and others are quite great. I'd love a discussion on any Jeffery Tucker article on HN. I'v

Agreed - Looking forward to a B1M episode about it. I found this tweet thread [1] which has a lot of interesting information. Some maps make it appear to be connected to the Nile, while this poster continues to say it transfers "wastew

Can I ask why you put “self hosted” and “web 1.0 design together” so tightly? I self host a blog, and several apps, which are modern and full of JavaScript. I guess I’m not disagreeing - I also miss Web 1.0 - but combining the two seems lik

I met my wife and the mother of my children on the Amtrak “coast starlight express” - the late train that runs between LA and SF. We were seated together for dinner in the dining car and the rest is history. We would be first in line for th

I would be genuinely shocked if it was legal to hunt and sell these pigs. Almost certainly, it all must be waste or for individual use, by law. We’re quite weird about food in this country.

Haha that’s so sweet. I’ll just say my cat is the opposite - earning her affection is really special; anyone she chooses to love has already loved her for months. When she finally cuddles up - ah! So just like people - you’re right - you’ll
