that's the crux of the problem. people no longer know, understand or want to know and understand what their software is vs what is around their software. they treat docker and k8s as a way of packaging software and just ignore all the

Level 1) you package your service into a zip/rpm/deb/etc and have an agent on the machine that periodically pulls Level 2) you pack your software into an ami and use the update the asg config. You can periodically "drain

Yes, let's compare CPUs that took literally decades to mature and there are a handful of companies that can design and manufacture them to K8s. We don't want to run k8s from scratch? Let's buy the managed version in the cloud

No, it's not. If going for managed services: A load balancer + an asg is stupid simple to setup and it just works.

If you're on bare metal there is a case for K8s. How many people are on bare metal?

So, your argument is that you should use a tool if you know how to use it, regardless of if it's actually needed? Personally I would take managing "a couple of webservers and a db" any day over k8s.

Hah. Interesting though experiment but in today's world even not all humans have human rights. Good luck enforcing that.

Inevitable at some point? At what point? If we are 500 years away from it does it make sense to invest resources in figuring it out now? It humans don't survive as a species is it really inevitable? Another thing that most people don&#

That's the tragedy of software development. Nobody wants to do work that isn't super visible (usually in the form of new features). Simplicity and robustness are not appreciated nor rewarded.

There is definitely a middle ground and I agree with you that the public health concerns should be one of the things that keep some sort of coarser zoning in place. Now, the reason for the ridiculous zoning based on housing type and commerc

The Civil War was needed to overturn slavery. Do you imagine people on the wrong side of history just going: "whoops i guess it's wrong. We're gonna stop doing it"? The more I see, the more I believe a civil war is not o

Do I need to remind you we had this thing called the Civil War over slavery? Setting aside political posturing: Who cannot get an abortion today? Even in deep red states, if you're wealthy the same rules do not apply to you.

It is a good guess. This is not about right or wrong. This is about the rest of us being force the religious views of a minority by people who figure out it's a great way to divide and control us this way.

Cute take but I'm going to ask the question: why did something that was in place for 50 years needs to be revisited? Is it maybe needed for the nutjobs that do want to ban abortion to do their thing? Also, you need to ask yourself: is

That's not how lightning works. While it's true that the transactions are off-chain there is no trust element involved. A channel between 2 entities is backed by real bitcoin and a scheme to manage the ledger based on bitcoin prim

At least for buying a house no. The bank is not the escrow. The escrow is a separate entity that is used by both parties. Before the transaction they setup the rules of the transaction (steps and what ifs) and once the transaction starts es

VISA is a payments network. It's a way for banks to connect to each other. They don't have any skin in the game and ultimately it's the issuing bank that gives you all those nice things that you believe come from VISA (like c

That's not true. Think about the 3rd party as an escrow, not the bank. You wouldn't eliminate the escrow when you're buying a house, would you?

the Roman Empire being brought up over and over again makes sense in the current context where people like to compare the USA with the Roman Empire. Apart from certain small similarities IMO the comparison is nonsense and does not make sens

Transferring the population is never feasible. The amount of energy needed to bring anything from planet surface to space is huge. I would bet on a post-biological future where the individuals can transfer themselves via information transfe
