Don't use the form. Use the legal way to quit any contract in your country. For instance that means sending a paper letter to their offices with the postal service confirming that the letter was received. If your contract has a quittin

For some reason kubernetes community doesn't like docker. I'm not sure why, though. Afaik Docker was what started the whole container hype, and docker-swarm having some nice features like dependency tracking that I'm personal

This is more about historical AI challenges. When Chess was beat people realized painfully and happily that they can't beat Go with the same approach. Therefore it was the new Mount Everest. And Starcraft is a competition because SC1 w

Have I missed it or are there no results in the article? First he has a long intro, which is nice. Then he goes way over board explaining his data and code. Then he talks about his mattress. If you've seen results can you point them ou

Until now the destruction of jobs through progress has never reduced the amount of work we needed altogether. For instance think about how the development of transportation created dozens of new jobs actually, and brought us in many regards

Storage and network stability is much higher if you run it on top of Openstack. k8s on baremetal is a pain in the butt. Disadvantage is that you have even more layers of abstraction.

I think you can have both situations. I still remember a talk from a Google person maybe around 2010 where he showed clearly that if you try to make the data "better" but in general have way too little data points, then it can&#x2

Well, naturally every company has talent drain. The rockstars will not work long in one company and jump from one gig to the next. But if you have bad luck and hired some slackers, which will happen with the tightest of hiring schemes, then
