Dodd-Frank does not clearly state there cannot be those contracts. Dodd-Frank grants the CFTC jurisdiction to govern those contracts. what you are saying was struck down in court in September 2024 where the judge ruled those contracts are l

theyve been marketed as a serious competitor to vmware for 15 years. their sales reps mightve just not found you until recently. but we did a poc with them 10 years ago and i dont believe much has changed since

everything will eventually go to zero. we look at some of these things and laugh because we're pretty sure they're going to go to zero within weeks or months vs years. but by the end of all of our lifetimes, most the companies on

these deals are made as part of a market so it's more like musical chairs where every time you change a chair you get a ton of money but you don't want to be the one that's stuck without a chair at the end

I think people don't understand what this means either. the nation-state "agencies" that can and will get into your network/devices can do so because they would employ tactics like kidnapping and blackmailing a local tel

who has discouraged "sucking it up"? what systemic policies have changed to accommodate this? as far as I can tell, someone can explain how they're the victim to anyone and everyone they come across and no one will care. I ca

everyone is the Magnus Carlsen of their own life, though. and humans are irreplaceable. sure, budget decisions are made that cause people to have to go find another employer. but there is no civilization without people in it.

why do they always say "not only" or "it isn't just x but also y and z"? I hated that disingenuous verbosity BEFORE these LLMs out and now it'll all over the place. I saw a post on linked in that was literally

I think the author didn't account for different types of engineering orgs at different points in their lifecycle. "just fix it" at an enterprise massive company as a junior is fine but a senior would know "if you fix it,

commentary from first time staff engineers should be taken with a grain of salt because they can be silly trying to prove themselves. same as first time people managers with an engineering background. if they're not a few iterations th

I think there's a theory out there that if something can't die, it's more of a "library" than "immortal"... because being born and dying (and the fact that you sharing resources with another living thing i

not exactly a fair assessment since neither of those were out and/or available to the kubernetes team at the time. sure, some things at many times from now into eternity may be or become better suited for the kubernetes data plane but

that touches on what I consider the dichotomy of k8s: it's a really scalable system that makes it easy to spin up a cluster locally on your laptop and interact with the full API locally just like in prod. so it's a super scalable

that's fair but that 99% of all apiserver deployments in the world have the same standard boilerplate footprint is a large part of why it became so ubiquitous. that people running it locally don't have to make any decisions about

etcd is also the entire point of k8s. that it's a single self-contained framework and doesn't require an external backer service. there is no kubernetes without etcd. much of the "secret sauce" of kubernetes is the &quot
