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 …

sure thing. share your solutions and why the are better?

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…

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 scratc…

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

> Stop pretending Kubernetes is this humongous infrastructure investment that mandates a full time job to keep up at low scale. It is a full time job. The cost of using something i…

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"…

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 …

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 no…

What? Are you a park ranger now?

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

> I know this can be interpreted differently You answered your own question. It's the interpretation that matters. The Supreme Court is a joke. Political debates have not been done…

An escrow is a smart contract

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…

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 transac…

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 t…

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?
