The US does not respond with austerity during a crisis, it responds with ever larger economic stimulus by printing money at the central bank. The next crisis will be no different. There is zero political appetite for austerity so it will not happen in the US.

If the US debt problem leads to capital controls, using Monero will become a federal offence overnight. Might as well call it money-laundering coin.

I use http://google.com.au/maps for maps now because of that sneaky behavior.

I agree with you, but one could argue that R&D money comes from a desire to patent.

The worlds best scientists don’t even know how to make room temp superconductors but this one person on HN is certain that purity doesn’t matter.

I agree that you should not be trying to find an engineer to take on a huge amount of risk co-founding a business and offer them a measly 0.1 to 2% stake in the company.

It seems to me like the author is arguing that the you don't need a CTO, you need a technical co-founder, AKA a founding engineer, and that they should be given double-digit equity. Am I reading this wrong?

I think the correct people and processes were followed, but they could have saved a great deal of time aligning on the importance and priority of the task by putting together a meeting with the leads.

For a time-sensitive and critical update to core functionality, the director of operations should have been aware of the mean time to deployment for the software and put together a team to fast track it, instead of entering it into the normal development pipeline with a high priority.

No not really any reason. Docker has a bit of overhead but greatly simplifies most of the things the author is doing manually with his self-described “better than the vast majority of off the shelf solutions” software.

The author does say double digit equity. Not sure where you got 0.1 to 2% from.

This is just simple prejudice.

I've had great success using this helm chart to install the entire stack into my EKS clusters. Even if you're not using Kubernetes, it's still a useful example for how everything should fit together. https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/tree/mai...

Good luck! It's a lot.

AI experts believe AI will have the power to destroy the world. I am not surprised that AI experts are meeting with powerful people to discuss things privately.

The good news is that those copy/pasters are probably going to be copy/pasting higher quality code if they’re using GPT4.

Ask and you shall receive. I’ll put some time into making a blog post with the technical details this weekend.

In the mean-time, here’s a lunch and learn video I made to show it to work people.

Tor exit nodes are abused as tools for DDOS attacks. We had to block them too.

Good point. Environmentally it would probably be net negative to stop using trees and move the production to a lab that consumes electricity.

I made a wagon with an electric motor to carry my things to the park and at music festivals. It has a 1000W brushless DC motor and a drive train for a go cart. It’s controlled by an ESP32 that is attached to a hand throttle on the handle for the wagon. This ESP32 also has a temperature sensor attached to the batteries in the wagon to make sure they don’t overheat. It controls a relay that powers another ESP32 that controls the Neopixels I’ve attached to the wagon using LED channels with a milky white diffuser.

It was a very fun project and I learned a lot about electricity, batteries and the pitfalls of aliexpress.

Home users don’t really do this but you might see this kind of private LTE network at an air port.

You can see the licensing fees here for Canada.

Looks like you’re charged about CAD.04 per MHz per population of the licensed area. Didn’t dive too deep but it might be viable for a small town to put something together, if they’re unhappy with the big providers.

Is this why MSG makes people feel sleepy?

A CFL ballast can be modified with a bypass by snipping a couple of wires and tying them to other wires. It takes 10 minutes and it’s reversible. I did it myself after watching a YouTube video. The LED t8 replacement was cheaper and brighter and used less electricity.

It feels weird to me to see this kind of comment on HN. I’m sure somewhere out there on the internet there are people complaining that computers suck because they bought a few cheap computers and didn’t have a good experience, so they’re assuming all computers are bad.

Without any sort of detail about what brand or what it was used for and why it was a bad experience, it’s really not adding anything to the conversation. It’s just a blanket judgement on a technology that has a great deal of variation and options and uses.

I’ve never had a problem with my Phillips Hue bulbs and I’ve owned the same 4 bulbs for 5 years now. I’ve got them scheduled to start brightening at sunset, change to a warmer colour closer to bed time, then start dimming and warming up before bed time.

If I want to feel more awake I ask Siri to change the colours of the bulbs to white. If I went to go to bed earlier I ask Siri for the colour tan and to dim the lights by 30%.

At this point I can’t imagine not having control over the colour or brightness of my lights. These things are essential for a good sleep.

I think we probably all spend a good chunk of time in the shower having imaginary conversations to reimagine history. Maybe I need to spend more time imagining conversations that haven’t happened yet.

Recover the silver from the panels and bury them. Landfills are great. They keep our garbage out of the ocean. We build parks on top of them and most people don’t even know they’re there. They’re certainly not struggling to find space for a landfill in Australia.

This is where the simplicity of single-file golang deployments falls short.

Just make sure you’re not slowly recreating bad, homebrew versions of all of the nice things that Kubernetes does in an attempt to turn a simple deployment into a production ready deployment.

Pagination really is a thing in CSS, it’s just a part of the spec that’s not well supported by browsers right now. Use pagedjs to polyfill the missing spec features and you can control how content is split up between pages, add content to page margins, add blank pages and solve all sorts of print-related problems with CSS only.

That’s true. The actual process of granting a pod access to edit route53 TXT records is pretty easy.

The problem is duplication of functionality within the cluster and increased complexity in the configuration of deployments. I want to configure a certificate acquisition process once, and plug those certificates into pods using a generic process based on annotations. I don’t want to configure it 6 times because each operator does things slightly differently. Each CRD introduces new complexity to the cluster. More opportunities for things to break. More stuff to read and learn about.

I think CRDs should be used to extend the platform functionality, not as a tool to simplify deployments. It feels a little like reworking the plumbing in your house to make the sink easier to install instead of using a wrench.

The CockRoach DB example in the article is a perfect example of an unnecessary CRD. Acquiring certificates within an Kubernetes cluster is a common requirement for lots of applications and there are lots of solutions out there. Is it really necessary to spend time writing your own operator? Now you have a second helm chart and an operator to maintain. Now you have to explain to people which chart to use. You could get rid of the non-operator chart but now I have operators within the cluster acquiring certificates in 5 or 6 different ways. Do I have to configure the credentials for 6 operators so they can make Route53 DNS challenge records?

Edit: maybe we could shift left and ask the app developers to add certificate acquisition directly into the app source.

This is a promotion. Violates guidelines.
