Let's try. I don't know what kubernetes does. Can anyone explain in five lines of text?
It abstracts away underlying hardware, leaving you with a convenient set of abstractions for deploying containerized networked services. Sort of an OS for a cluster of distributed machines. Unfortunately this involves lots of YAML. How’d I do?
Having watched cryptocurrency from a distance via HN etc. for over a decade, I thought I had a general understanding, but this made me realize I wasn’t aware of what smart contracts really were (just looked up solidity today and details of The DAO hack). The potential for irreversible losses, fraud and security holes are much bigger than I realized. This also lead me to this video which will now be my ‘go to’ recomme…
> this made me realize I wasn’t aware of what smart contracts really were (just looked up solidity today and details of The DAO hack). The potential for irreversible losses, fraud and security holes are much bigger than I realized. That seemed obvious from the first time I read the expression "code is law". If code is law, any bug (whether in the contract itself or in the way the contract is called) fucks you irredee…

You are expecting to understand how a completely new and complex technology works from 5 lines of text. Imagine if someone tried to explain Kubernetes to you in 5 lines of text.

Cryptocurrency is designed for general use. Kubernetes is designed to abstract specific problems away for specialists.
I lost 4.5K transfering USDT from Binance to Coinbase From time to time I check if the money is still there. The last time I asked Coinbase support they didn't even bother to answer me. I was not investing, one of my contractors unilaterally decided to pay me in crypto.
> I was not investing, one of my contractors unilaterally decided to pay me in crypto. Why didn't you tell him that you wanted to be paid in real money?
The future of currency ladies and gentlemen. This money is literally gone. Unrecoverable. Like he took the money out to a barrel and burned it. Only he didn't get any warmth out of it in exchange.
> Unrecoverable. I'm not very well versed in this stuff, but surely the tokens he sent are somewhere right. Like if you sent $500k to a bank but put the wrong account number in, the $500k would still go _somewhere_. It might be difficult to recover, but it's not like the money just disappears.

The problem with crypto is despite your explanation, I have no idea what any of your post means. Not any of it.

The issue is the question here which is probably invalid. Cryptocurrency is designed for general use. Kubernetes is designed to abstract specific problems away for specialists.

Bad example. IBAN ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Num... ) for example has a two digit checksum that prevents this and similar simple typos.
I have more than once typed ref-number into the amount field. Ofc a transmission of $9765775689758 won't succeed, but if it did, I'm told there's little to be done about it, finders keepers.
You can certainly pursue the matter in civil courts, but law enforcement does not like to touch this kind of stuff at all. If the recipient transfers the money overseas, you will most likely never be able to recover it.

Which I think drives the point of all this crypto talk in acronyms contributes to it being incomprehensible.
