The odd thing is that in most countries the age of consent is below (sometimes significantly below) 18. So we’ve got strange mixed signals.

I think your response is emotionally-charged and mixes feelings with data and anecdotes, which is unhelpful in a complex discussion of a sensitive topic, so I hesitate to engage further, but… I’ve reviewed much of the existing data on minor

This is not true and a harmful generalization. There are dumb people of every type. There are probably smart people you respect that engage in CSAM and are minor-attracted. This kind of privacy invasion will only net a tiny section of that

I've commented on it before, but I have to say again, the Timescale Helm charts are by far the best way I've ever seen a database run in Kubernetes, and actually from an operations, backup, and scaling perspective they are the bes

I brought timescale (a postgres extension that brings time series to postgres) to my current IoT job, and it has been the biggest engineering win of my career. The tooling, community, extensions, and quality of postgres + very high performa

I brought Timescale to my current job, and I have to plug their Helm charts. They have made deployment, backup, scaling, and config so easy on k8s for Timescale. Probably the best postgres chart that exists, period. Great work TSDB team.

If you're referring to the WFH situation staying with us forever, it definitely will not. Things may change somewhat, but in discussing WFH with a variety of execs who employee tens of thousands of engineers collectively, there is a ve

Again referring to Go's imperfect but interesting handling of this problem, the style in Go would be: data, err := open("/var/foo") if err != nil.... In fact, the compiler will make you deal with both value

Though I don't think it's perfect, languages like Go that treat errors as simply another type and you check as a return value do get closer to treating errors and success symmetrically versus an exception throwing and typing syste

It's incredible the quality you can get in that price range. I bought a PRS SE Custom 24 for $700 and it is like a museum piece compared to what $500-700 would have bought when I was starting out 20 years ago. Absolutely awesome.

I realize you've made a weak straw man argument here, but there are important distinctions that need to be made in discussions about platform/user base moderation. While there are classes of people protected from discrimination by

I run multi terabyte, billions of rows HA postgres in kubernetes using a helm chart and Patroni (baked into the chart), which uses the native k8s API for automatic failover and pgbackrest for seamlessly provisioning new replicas. It's

Because it's possible that there are many, many infected who don't seroconvert or ever manifest symptoms, and therefore would not have been tested with a PCR test, and would have a negative antibody test. We can see this in effect

There is no "death rate" metric. There is CFR (case fatality rate) and IFR (infection fatality rate). We know that there are many more infections than known cases, and serological studies point to total IFR <1%, with massive st

We have no idea what the required percentage of infection is for herd immunity, given that we don't know what percentage of people are naturally immune or resistant, what percentage of people clear the virus without any antibody respon

IFR is not a fixed value and is affected by many things. For example, intial viral load may be higher in NYC than many other places, vitamin D levels, air pollution, etc. There is no single IFR for any disease.

You are completely wrong. It is trivial to have your k8s control plane and your workload cluster in something like an ASG, and basically know nothing about the nodes in either group. I'm not even using GKS or EKS, just ASGs on AWS. My
