> In Holmes case I genuinely think it didn't start as a fraud

Anyone thinking you can do statistically accurate blood testing from one drop of dirty fingertip capillary blood without having already made a major scientific breakthrough is certainly not thinking straight, if not outright being fraudulent

> When you look at the actual fraud (like Theranos) silicon valley funds are nowhere near it. The people that get duped are usually outsiders that are more easily manipulated.

might not have been valley insiders, but if you look at theranos bizarre board selection, they were certainly not just random joes and certainly had the wherewithal to know they needed do proper due diligence before attaching themselves to the fraud, unless of course they were also party to it...

so, you're saying it doesn't work then?

agree on that front -

but giving mediocre vs high quality results on the other hand forces you to use a particular search result page more and increases the likelyhood that you'll click through a paid search link in your frustration ...

doesn't help that gnu manual pages & documentation tend to completely ignore the origins of the tool they are emulating

(compare HISTORY sections of BSD userland vs GNU coreutils ones as one simple example)

the marketplace becomes full of speculators

IANAL but if the executive (e.g. police) can charge someone with obstruction of justice, i'd imagine they could reasonably issue an unofficial gag order irrespective so long as there is something under investigation..

sun had plenty of valuable assets in addition to mysql - don't think one can reasonably claim they bought sun just for mysql without inside knowledge

> I have to learn 15 tools.

kubectl, kustomize, helm, istio, graphana, various flavors of ingress controllers, overlay networks, service meshes, storage controllers, etcd, etc.

from tfa: https://landscape.cncf.io/

you still have to learn 15 tools, just now they are hidden behind the scenes, and you still have to understand the underlying systems to reason about your containers.

this isn't for or against k8s - i'm a right tool for the job guy - but as a tool kubernetes doesn't solve problems, it encapsulates them and shifts them around.

"Superadmin is the easiest way for teams to get setup with visual browser testing quickly, and orchestrate massively parallel tests with private infrastructure."

seems pretty related to me

meanwhile, lisp.

age is orthogonal to good design.

because you then know how to apply technology instead of a technology ?

this highlights the fact that we often try to solve wetware problems with software, because software is "easier".

so long as people don't want to look at their own 'stuff', this mis-attribution in requirements will always be an issue.

yes, now with copilot we will be doing visual object oriented programming on our GUI only tablets, and typing code, laptops, and desktops will be a thing of the past - the singularity is in fact here!

not sure if exactly 10 years, but all are still used:

* mambo & joomla (maybe that's more like 15)

* owncloud / nextcloud

* mariadb / mysql

and not all are necissarily 'community driven' in the sense of no $$ involved, but the community split/forked trying to maintain some level of increased openness, and the resulting fork is still viable

well put - except for:

> Strange article.

since it's actually a completely predictable article within the genre of "poorly formulated revisionist history used to spin supporting arguments for my particular 'modern' outlook" ...

not OP - agree it's not actually esoteric - but it is esoteric to people who have only been presented with pop christianity or pop strawman revisionist christianity, like the article here...

> claiming for them to be the same as modern Ukrainians or modern Russians makes as much sense as modern Greeks claiming to be direct descendants of Alexander the Great.

don't say this to either of the macedonias :)

somewhat in the same boat - also ended up staying - at this point I'd recommend pop OS on end-user devices in place of ubuntu since it has a few nice things for polish (boot to recovery partition, various UI tweaks) and doesn't really deviate from base ubuntu much otherwise

also, a plug for system76 - used to play the whole dmesg-device-support-lottery with laptops; feels good paying a small premium to avoid this and support a company who is helping the ecosystem instead of throwing away whatever ms license fee & hours of system tweaking I'd be paying otherwise.

but is it not 'conspiring' ?

it's not a 'secret conspiracy' sure, but it is a 'product of conspiring'; and x-acy is a linguistic construct for expressing 'product of x'

agree.. fragmenting words by colloquialism tends to obscure the deeper and more complete 'sense' that existed before the fragmentation - so we're left with more precise words, but less linguistic cohesion

a similar example of a word that has become so loaded by the negative sense would be 'propaganda' - technically all political speech is propaganda, but in colloquial usage the term is so bogged down to mean roughly 'blatant and overt totalitarian propaganda' that we can hardly see the inherent political bias in 'acceptable' political statements, and are more prone to be influenced by them as a result

and what do you archive when your page source is basically a script tag to a obfuscated js pack which talks to 20 other web services to dynamically retrieve the real data?

> I expect in time (like over the next 80yr) it will follow the model of other government services and everywhere that can afford the graft, boondoggles and BS will have the graft, boondoggles and BS and the Detroits and BFEs who simply can't afford to do it wrong it will be the only ones left with municipal broadband done right.

so, basically what we have now for non-muni net in most places with telco+cableco duopoly?

seems like a clear case where version controlling & signing changes to draft legislation would be useful

... including kubernetes itself

this is also a case of the later nomenclature redefining the previous nomenclature in a backwards incompatible way -

Wasn't there, but pretty sure in 70s, the notion of pointer and reference (and 'handle', etc) were pretty much interchangeable, since AFAIK there wasn't any compiler capable of creating a compiler-checked 'reference' construct.

so, if this is true, in the relm of asm, since really we are just dealing with bits in a register that could be interpreted as data or addresses, it makes sense to treat pointer and reference interchangably, since there is no such thing as a higher-order 'reference' anyway.

also relies on it being in working-enough-order to do the erase to begin with.. plenty of machines broken enough to not to power on but still hold data...

Me as well, until I bought Forza Horizon and discovered my car had a turbo..

I don't dispute that some loud exhausts are the result of exactly what you describe, but also many are motorheads who have less restrictive exhaust systems for performance reasons or just to enjoy their vehicle (unfortunately sometimes at the expense of other peoples hearing)

or any web browser doing this for e-commerce..
