I don't think you're wrong. StatefulSets are simply on a "higher level" than raw Deployments and manually provided PersistentVolumes/Claims. I am thinking about writing another article that shows how to use StatefulSets in similar scenarios.
He's smarter than a lot of people think. He may very well be the smartest in the room despite appearing dumb.
The problem is even a smart person dressed as a clown will be recognized as a clown. At some point you can claim not to be wearing clown clothes until you are blue in the face but no matter how dumb the person is you're talking to they won't believe it. He must hope he can convince 1 in 12 people he is not a clown.
IANAL but my understanding is that there is a law that allows the victim to sue for the proceeds. My understanding is also that if you have sophisticated legal isolation to protect the funds (say your parents are Stanford lecturer lawyers), it's effectively unenforceable.
First amendment means he can speak about it and it would castrate news companies if third party entities could not profit from reporting on crime.
SBF may have hit a ceiling of punishment. What are they going to do? Add another lifetime jail sentence? Another billion dollars he cannot possible repay?
No, but they will likely see topline coverage in big media - and then their takeaway of that topline may well be “SBF wrote a blog saying FTX was solvent and administrators could refund customers but haven’t”
You might be right. I've talked to both sides of my family and realized I was in a tech bubble and no one knew who the hell the guy was though. I doubt the average 35+ y/o person outside of tech even knows what FTX or SBF is.
I don’t know - here in the U.K. it’s getting fairly significant coverage on BBC, Sky News etc. The Today Programme on Radio 4 (which is the “definitive” establishment news programme) has been covering it quite a lot.
Came here to mention the interview by Nate and am happy to see you did.
In addition, and on a similar conceptual basis, I'd recommend:
The Great Simplification [1]
The Century of the Self [2]
Can't Get You Out of My Head [3]
The Resilience web site content [4]
The Consilience Project [5]
The Dawn of Everything has to be one of the worst books on anthropology out there. It's a thing disguised polemic dressed up as archeological history.
I find Yuval's work to be more digestible, in part due to better writing, and in part due to less pretense.
I would also suggest Susan RiceBauer's The History of Ancient Civilizations, Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the making is the modern world, and Lars Brownworths Lost to the West: the forgotten Byzantine Empire.
If one can get hold of the Modula-3 books I would advise it.
It shows the path of having GC enabled systems programming languages, which also offers all features at C++ level (minus template metagramming and macros), and how we could already be there in the early 1990's, had it not been for the Compaq merges messing it all up.
If you are starting from zero COBOL experience, a mainframe environment may be too big of a learning curve.
Maybe start small. There were COBOL implementations for pretty much every 8-bit computer in the 80's. Think Commodore 64, Apple ][, or whatever emulated environment works for you.
Because they were designed for complete beginners, they often came with very detailed, very easy to comprehend manuals. Many of which are available as PDFs online today. And there was no end of third-party books to help you along, which may be available from Biblio, or whatever your favorite used book source is.
Getting a feel for COBOL from these baby steps can help you decide if you want to advance into full big iron COBOL development.
This also applies to FORTRAN, APL, and other older languages.
An Apple II emulator, such as AppleWin (free, Windows) or Virtual][ ($, MacOS), that supports the Microsoft SoftCard will let you run CP/M software. Microsoft's COBOL compiler is easily available from various Apple and CP/M archives. CP/M itself is a little bit of a learning curve, but at least most everything is free, depending on your platform. There are probably Linux options as well for Apple emulation.
I've never been able to figure out how to open a file by passing the filename as an argument to the program you're opening. Apparently there's no ccp.com available. It's fine if you're using WordStar, which lets you view the files in the current directory; impossible if you don't have a menu interface to open a file.
In my experience, a cliff is exactly what makes you learn fast and deep.
Start from nothing, and make tiny baby steps. Target a short term milestone. Learn how to use the documentation. Even if you start slower than people who take shortcuts,you end up being faster because you have a much deeper undestanding
