Maybe we shouldn’t be casting stones from the HN glass house, because literally every other startup here has a mission statement that sounds as ridiculous as this

The C-Suite coming up with this garbage is in every industry. You notice it more with tech companies on HN because that's the industry we usually focus on

The worst thing about the whole kubernetes-cult and the like is that IaC and CM was supposed to help us reduce configuration, to make it less prone to failure and easier to manage.

But the truth is that we ran service based architecture, network meshes and containers with bash just fine before cloud everything, usually with less effort than it is to do literally anything today. Sure you had to know how to set up network bonding and how to tune your systems.

Very, very few people and businesses _needs_ kubernetes or it's cousins. Most just need a decent system administrator.

I agree with you, but can offer a counterpoint. A system administrator might setup a server in a certain way, and if they leave the replacement has a hard time discovering what they did.

With IaC, all decisions are templated in the code and the replacement has full insight into the state of the machine.

i didn't realize fiber could be overbooked similar to cable. I had a 3gbit plan but downgraded to 500mbit because barely any transfers would go over 300mbit during the day. I kept thinking the servers I download from are overloaded, but it makes more sense my provider overbooks than the entirety of the internet being slow... time to put in some complaint calls during peak hours!

We should have a govt agency tasked with destroying the couple types of mosquitoes that bother humans.

The US Gov does this in Panama, but for flies that bother livestock.

>"FB and there isn't really a reason for AI spam."

Heh good joke. Facebook is full of spam bots, phishing etc. Using following template, hack legitimate account, buy ADs for your phishing campaign with stolen CCs, phish people, rinse and repeat.

And quantity of phishing/spam is so huge, Meta is basically unable to fight this.

boingo · a year ago
You're right about it existing, but FB could definitely fight it, removing 90% or more. But sadly it generatesa LOT of extra revenue for them (stolen account with stolen CC = thousands spent on ads) so they have monetary incentive to turn a blind eye and let people get scammed.

All it takes to ditch the news is being on the inside of a breaking story, and realizing how much information being spewed out is just plain incorrect... then the next few articles you read, you realize it's not just your article they warped for clicks, but all of them.

When newspapers were the primary news consumption, it was a bit better - journalists had a few hours to collect facts before publishing. Now there's zero time so they will publish anything. Empty calories.

It is somewhat surprising actually. Presumably if there's an actual hotspot that police would be ever-present in the area until it dilutes out
boingo · 2 years ago
Stopping crime means arresting marginalized people, and SF leadership won't let that happen.

My friend interned at the FAA 20 years ago. He said the norm there was to write "Concur without comment." I thought that was brilliant. Of course, when I use it in conversation, no one gets my reference and thinks I am weird. But that is going to happen anyway.
