>A consent decree doesn't give the White House binding control over Columbia; it gives a federal judge that control.

It’s gives the judge control to enforce the White House’s decree. What meaningful distinction are you making?


The distinction between Article III and Article II of the Constitution? A randomly-chosen SDNY judge is overwhelmingly likely to be a Clinton, Obama, or Biden appointee?

I still think this will be a shitshow, but the headline that "the White House is seeking binding control via a consent decree" is misleading; that's not how a consent decree works.

George W Bush first term is “the left” now?


In most societies in the world today you must have a job to survive and to support the survival of one’s family. Imho it is not morally wrong to do anything you need to do to achieve gainful employment so that you and your family can survive, and I would go so far as to say it is immoral to be scolding people engaged in a fight for survival that they aren’t doing it properly.


If Americans believed this there wouldn’t ever have been a problem.


Is one due the right to potable water at a tap at their home? Or is purified water a service offered by the government as one source of many available to the us population?

Are you not allowed to pay for bottled water instead of paying your local utility for drinking water?

The bodily autonomy argument seems bad to me because you are buying water from the government when you could buy water from any other source instead.

Is the argument that the government water is too convenient and so it should be unfiltered? Who is to say that filtering out poop is not infringing on my right to consume unfiltered water?


So you are in favor of reducing the funding your childs school receives from the federal government? And for using the government to restrict funding to universities unless they comply with limiting the speech of students and professors?

I don’t see how that makes your child’s school better, can you explain how we get from A to B?


Are you suggesting that’s false?

>After the administrator, William N. Bryan, the head of science at the Department of Homeland Security, told the briefing that the agency had tested how sunlight and disinfectants — including bleach and alcohol — can kill the coronavirus on surfaces in as little as 30 seconds, an excited Mr. Trump returned to the lectern.

>“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,” Mr. Trump said. “And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it?” he added, turning to Mr. Bryan, who had returned to his seat. “And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.”

I think you are talking past each other about different stages of development.

At early stages you are writing some code and tests within a single component, here you are iterating with a single binary/container. At some stage a change may involve multiple components.

Once you are satisfied with your code changes you would want to run those components in an environment that simulates how they communicate normally.

In kubernetes this may mean you need your cluster and its networking components which may need configuration changes tested as part of your new feature, you may have introduced new business metrics which you want to verify are collected and shipped to your desired metrics aggregator so that you can build and expose dashboards, you may want to create new alerts from these metrics and verify that the new alerts trigger as expected, etc

You can see how you may need to run many components in order to test a change in only one. I don’t think this is bad engineering, and I don’t think it’s specific to kubernetes or “web-scale”.


>The Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) is a British think tank that studies the relationships between world cities in the context of globalization. It is based in the geography department of Loughborough University in Leicestershire, United Kingdom

I had to wonder why London would rated be above Tokyo and I had my answer immediately.


Here's a Vancouver based one putting London top https://www.worldsbestcities.com/rankings/worlds-best-cities...

personally I think #1 is overdoing it even though I live there but probably top 5. Depending what you prioritize.


Isn’t Canada part of the English empire?


Why would Tokyo be rated higher than London in the globalization index? (Asking honestly.)


Well two posts ago you said London was one of the world’s great cities. Not that it was the most open to economic globalization which is a vastly different point to try to make.

The first two sentences of the wiki reveal both the British nature of the publication and its focus not on great cities but on measuring how large cities are open to investment and trade from foreign markets.

This is as close to approaching no one’s definitions of a great city as I am aware.
