You can, but there is a procedure that 95% of people fail to follow.
and that's a matter of messaging and education!

“ If you have communications that can be used as evidence you're probably in the wrong.”
I’m surprised to see someone advocating for “if you haven’t done anything wrong you don’t have anything to hide” on HN. The cognitive dissonance must be in overdrive here!
financial and corporate transparency and privacy are a very different matter to the transparency and privacy of an individual.
despite the whackadoodle precedent that corporations are people, corporations are not people. they may be made of people, but the affairs of those people are within the course of their employment, acting on behalf of the corporation.
Let me paint a bit of a difficult conundrum from the pandemic:
Masks work dramatically better when the person wearing the mask is the one who is sick. A grocery store where the one infected person is masked is better than the grocery store where the one infected person is openly coughing around 30 masked people. Everyone masked works best, but the heavy lifting is done by the sick persons mask.
In short; You wear a mask to protect others from you, not the other way around.
However, this creates a severe social stigma problem however: People wearing masks are outing themselves as being sick (whether or not they actually are). The result is people don't wear masks for fear of social retaliation.
So now you, as a scientist, have to figure out what the messaging around masks is going to be. Wear a mask to protect others? Wear a mask to protect yourself? Everyone wear a mask all the time because we say so?
It was a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. They went with everyone wear a mask all the time, alluding to the implication of masking being a tool of self preservation. Of course masks don't work great at stopping you from getting sick (outside of being specially trained in their use), which is easily proved, and half the country recognized they were being lied too (while never acknowledging that the sick person wearing a mask works great).
it also depends upon the mask type who you're protecting? IIR surgical masks tend to only protect other people, whereas you can protect yourself with FFP2/FFP3/N95/P99/...
but deciphering that is part of the problem, the layman had to come to terms with the difference between IIR masks and the other more protective to self standards.
the messaging was unclear but it required the avg person to do their own research.
imo, the real problem was the culture war?
i don't think there's any problem with someone making it clear that they're sick; society needs to be more accepting of the sick and more accepting of call-outs of work due to illness. this would help everybody in the long run.
hi, your website has spelling issues and also the contact text doesn't match up with the links?

Tried Pulumi thinking "it's gonna abstract all the k8s specifics". Welp no, still need to know and understand K8s so I still don't see the value from those kind of tools. In which case why not use something like Pkl to generate my yaml from some sensible code-like structures?
kubernetes is very complex and therefore any abstraction which completely glosses over the way the underlying systems work would make it very hard to avoid leaking or a bad abstraction to begin with.
the complexity in one way or another must be preserved within the abstraction (in all likelihood) or you will have cases you cannot create in that layer or breakages which now have the total complexity of both the abstraction itself AND kubernetes itself required to fix.
i would not say IaC is going to provide you a magic solution to learning k8s, although the value in using IaC (e.g. Argo CD / Flux CD + Kustomize + ...) in K8s land is that you are no longer imperatively managing your cluster resources and therefore can keep them within a repository, managed like code. the point of the solution is not to make it easier for newcomers, but to make it easier to have teams manage and work together on an established cluster for deployments, ...
in the case of Pulumi, you leverage the single language with typechecking instead of relying upon K8s flavoured YAML, which is itself beneficial in many ways (since you can use your regular developer tooling)
wrt pkl, pretending K8s manifest structure underneath does not help because you will need to know how the keys within a manifest interact with the underlying system regardless, especially to understand functionality, e.g. node selectors, taints and tolerations, node affinity, ...
i prior managed a terraform-based deployment of several k8s clusters and it still required knowledge of those keys and values, alongside knowledge of the underlying resource types.
without those you can't implement things like GPU-based node selection for jobs which require a GPU, ...
My DO K8S cluster ist bugging me every couple of months to do an upgrade. I am always scared to just run it but moving shit over to a new cluster instead is so much work that I simply gamble on it. AWS ECS is worth over penny
DO's K8S is more equivalent to AWS's EKS offering, so of course ECS which abstracts away pretty much all of the other parts of K8s is going to require less maintenance. It's sort of a false equivalence to say ECS == that solution.
On EKS, you need to do the same version updates with the same amount of terror.
You do pay the extra for the further management to just run containers somewhere!
(you might want to say "every" instead of over, "is" instead of "ist")

Typo of "codebase" as codebae: This is also the reason why the higher context window doesn’t matter. Even if you could feed your whole codebase into an LLM, you’d still face the same problem of missing the structural relationships of the codebae.

It's worth repeating for the Nth time that dark matter may be a previously unknown form of hydrogen that doesn't interact with light because the electron is bound in a lower energy state than the traditional ground state. This is based on a novel classical atomic model where electrons are bound in "orbitspheres" see
Looking into this, I see it is some kind of crackpot / con-man "free energy" scam?

I assume you are related to, an investor in or some kind of shill for this organization, because many of your submissions are related to the organization you are speaking about. This could be untrue, but I would not trust any "theory" that you posit at ground value without peer review and all of this is never going to make it into the scientific mainstream.
If your theory depends upon denial of quantum physics and things which have experimental proof, it has no rigor. Especially if the organization in question feels the need to take wikipedia editors to court in order to silence them. Shame on this organization.
