We use Rancher with Cattle and do CI/CD via our self-hosted GitLab CI. Pretty easy to setup & maintain. Would definitely recommend taking a look at Rancher if you haven't yet.
I haven't played much with Rancher, but I'm really curious about it. I'd like to hear more about your setup. Perhaps you could even contribute a post on setting it up with GitLab CI?
> The crux is we are all social creatures and need to feel accepted by the opposite sex.
Yeah, no.
> If we fall short, we will spin ad infinitum worrying about it.
Nope.
> Its a deep rooted need within us and cannot be rationalized away, similar to rationalizing you are full when you haven't eaten for a long time.
Lol. No.
> Lose weight, eat right, get fit, etc etc etc
I lost 120 lb's and got down to 10% body fat when I was in my early 20's (300 to 180) having been extremely fat my whole life up to that point. I was still a nervous wreck with severe self confidence issues. I did it for women like OP says to above. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Do it for yourself. Do it for your own health. If you do it for such shallow reasons like the OP is saying, you won't keep it off. It takes work and it takes time. Also, you don't need to be fit with a 6 pack to talk to/pick up/ask out women. All you need is self confidence, and thats not something you can get by lifting weights. Anybody who tells you different is naive and a fool (and probably more insecure than you). The best piece of advice I ever got when it comes to confidence: Know yourself, appreciate yourself, love yourself - if you can't do any of those things how do you expect someone else to.
Ok. I accept your individual experience. I would then tell you that what I've written may not be for every single heterosexual male in every conceivable case as the permutations of gene combinations are quite daunting and its possible to have so many varied outcomes that are atypical.
The working out thing isn't about hubris or for women. Its for you. What happens when you change your body's chemistry makeup to promote testosterone, rather than lots of fat having the effect of creating estrogen and lowering T and your outlook in life... the methods to increase T change your personality so you are more of a risk taker and are better able to have that boldness to talk to women and take action in general in life, while also being more attractive, if that was your problem in the first place. You may be horribly shy etc but at least you are more embolden to take action than being out of shape, creating estrogen and logically, you will have less reason to have lower self confidence. Its a good place to start to become more social as your physicality is primed for it.
It is not shallow to promote an optimized version of yourself and I would talk about more areas of finance and giving as well but that is outside of the subject. Taking care of yourself is something that you will regret if you don't.
I'm very past even worrying about women now, I only worry about one and have 3 young sons. However, my strategy worked so well with such dramatic results that I felt the need to share that experience. Maybe the writing style should be more IMO-style, "careful to not offend everyone", but again, I'm still doing the lifestyle health thing and will do it till I die. I have plenty of boldness to go around, now focusing that energy on attacking the business world.
I have tried your strategy with 0 change in results. Success in this matter is determined by many more factors than just being in above average shape and your trying to present it otherwise is disingenuous at best and harmful at worst.
Disingenuous is insulting. It isn't something you try. Its something you live. Also the what you eat is actually most important, much more so over working out but working out just makes you look nice too. There are precursors that definitely put us in the right position for social acceptance. Go ahead and list the ones that have worked for you. If none have worked, I am sorry about that. Also, I'm not selling anything, just noting what worked for me. My advice is free and without agenda. Its completely free if you fuck off as well with your insulting bullshit.
While I see what you are saying, the OP to your post has it correct. You can say a republic is a bastardized form of democracy, but the reverse is not true. You can look at one of the few true democracies that has ever existed as an example - ancient Greece. Every citizen[1] could vote and put forward changes to laws or even create new laws (obviously with a majority vote).
[1] A citizen was considered to be any person born of Greece, white and male.
I doubt that the Athenians had the present-day concept of "white people". Wikipedia says that citizens "had to be descended from citizens", so maybe at least in a certain era nobody known to be descended from people coming from outside of Athens could be a citizen.
Edit: looking at one of the references, it seems that there was a year when explicit citizenship lists were drawn up based on all free men who lived in Athens (maybe with some kind of ethnic exclusion at that time too?). From then on until Pericles, children could be added to the list if their fathers were on the list. After Pericles, children could be added to the list if their mothers and fathers were on the list.
First, it was Athens, not Greece as a whole. It was free, male descendants of Athenians who were allowed to participate - their degree of whiteness was not an issue independent of that. They had a large class of immigrants and descendants of immigrants who were not allowed to participate.
Most importantly, while there were a few questions settled by referendum where all citizens could vote, most were settled by randomly allotted juries. This meant there was little advantage to forming political parties around popular demagogues, or run well-funded propaganda campaigns.
Athenian democracy got knocked down many times and came back every time, except the last. The second-to-last time, a bunch of immigrants had fought for the liberation and restoration of democracy, and some leaders argued forcefully that they should be awarded citizenship for this. But they didn't get it, the existing citizens voted against.
The reason democracy finally failed was probably this. The Athenians knew (especially the poor) just how unusual and lucky they were to have political freedom, so they were fiercely protective of it - and didn't want to dilute it by sharing it. Eventually a large part of their society had so little stake in democracy that they didn't bother to restore it.
Taxes on profits would be deferred indefinitely. This increases everyone else's share of the tax burden regardless of whether they've invested in the company.
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
The flaw with this logic is it presupposes a standard of good that may be applied to a god. Under most monotheistic systems, the god is the definition of good. So anything that it does, including not preventing evil, is still good.
If god is omnipotent and anything it does is good... then there isn't any evil. So making the distinction between good and evil seems to not have any value.
Fantastic db, but maybe not quite ready for production usage. We are using influx for a small portion of our ingestion engine as well as for storing server metrics. The updates/improvements have been pretty astounding over the last year, but also hard to keep up. I had to fork the nodejs library just to update it from 0.9 to 0.12 [0] because there were a LOT of breaking changes. Pre-0.9 there were many issues we ran into when it came to disk space & performance but they have all been resolved as of 0.9.
Another thing to note (after speaking with them on a few occasions) is that they are only providing cluster support to their enterprise offering which wont be available till this summer. They do offer Relay which is their high availability tool for the open source version.[1] You really won't need clustering unless you're doing an insane amount of writes: single server performance is insane right now. We average 10k writes/sec with bursts up to 5x that and it doesn't break a sweat (on a cheap 2 cpu/7gb ram instance, with ssd block storage).
While I could some what see the reasoning behind accredited investor rules, I personally don't agree with them. If I can't spend the money I've earned how I want to it limits mobility and freedom on my part. If I want to invest in a startup, or invest in something like PeerStreet, it should be my right to lose (or gain) my money. I don't make 300k, nor do I have a million in assets, but as an engineer I make a decent pay check and have no dependents so why can't I throw my extra $ around how I want?
That Quora post perfectly illustrates my confusion with all the claims about Node: every example of Node usage there is 3 to 5 years old, as far as I can tell.
I'm really interested in what large-scale production apps, commercial or in-house enterprise, are currently using Node on the server? For sure, not just misinterpretation and wishful thinking?
