Kubernetes makes it easy, but there are few missing pieces - for example there is no load balancer that you can use with commodity dedicated servers (there is metallb, but it requires routing facilities most hosting providers don't offer).
Re:Panic Attacks on Tuesday August 21, 2018 @12:32PM (#17811079)
Depending on cannabinoid profile, intake, strength it can help with or potentiate panic attacks (which sometimes start with omg I comitted a crime. What if someone finds out? Or by the unfamiliarity of the feeling - was my drug laced with something?) For the exact reason it should be legal, so people know what they take. As a sufferer of panic attacks I can attest that cannabis had been a life saver at times, although I don't medicate (with cannabis nor prescription drugs) at all now.
They find money, but it doesn't mean they can _afford_ it...
How can one make money with that knowledge put to work?
Police can come and search you to see if you have any dried plant matter on you. I can't see how switching tables is any more ridiculous than that and this is "accepted" as "normal".

There is nothing you cannot legislate for. For example use of encryption could be licensed, just as drugs are. If you don't have prescription, you go down.

It is probably all the spying /s
All accepted religions are floating on the sea of blood. If nobody gets crucified over pasta then it is just bollocks.
Possession of encryption software could be treated the same as possession of drugs. On the next stop and search you would only had to handover your phone. If police password will not work it will be confiscated. If encryption software is found you go in the dock. It is the future. Society accepted ridiculous laws to jail people for having a plant, they'll accept jailing for programs. Only terrorists, thieves and adulterers encrypt their messages ;-)
Too many people profit from those deaths to have this happened.
If people had easy access to clean drugs, deaths could be avoided. Opiates are fairly safe if dose is correct and are not contaminated. Then people could get psychological help to remove the need to take them.
It is mainly responsibility of voters who keep corrupt and evil people in charge. If you voted for a prohibition supporter you have blood on your hands.
Everyone who supports prohibition has blood on their hands. No, your ignorance and stupidity is not an excuse. Pathetic people.

Re:First drug to prevent chronic migraines approved by EU on Thursday August 09, 2018 @12:59PM (#17725998)
1. That's the thing - it is cheap, safe and easy. If there is no monopoly established (like in the UK) there is little money to be made. You cannot do aspirin at home easily, but you could make your migraine (or other) medication from cannabis easily.

2. You don't have to smoke it.

3. It doesn't work for all, but that is not an argument to deny it to those that they find it works for them.

Re:First drug to prevent chronic migraines approved by EU on Thursday August 09, 2018 @12:18PM (#17725538)
For a lot of people cannabis works great for their migraines, but I guess it is difficult for pharma to make money off of it so it is still a gray area in the EU. I am only pointing this out because the hype coming from the article makes the situation grotesque.
So would you be fine with staying in the bathroom forever?
If you pressed a button then it wasn't automatic.
What is the model?

It will be easier for governments to shut down small instances and smear the owners. I don't think decentralisation has much security value.
And make sure your stuff is encrypted with good password. I wouldn't worry about stolen electronics as much as about stolen data. I wouldn't care where you live, but I would care if my data is safe with you.
L-theanine never worked for me. Even tried large doses and felt no difference. Maybe reading such articles causes placebo effect?
I am saying that brain is not a bucket full of chemicals that need to have right balance.
Oh that. I lost my 2TB of backups because shitty USB interface that was also encrypting the data. Drive was fine, but controller bricked and my data was gone.
Brain chemistry stuff was disproved ages ago. There is no such thing as chemical imbalance.

What I learned is that most aggressive mods are with left leaning views and won't let "other side" to be read. Irony is that they think they are the guardians of free speech. That created vacuum on the internet which can be exploited.
Re:Microsoft: Join Developer Design on Friday July 20, 2018 @05:34AM (#17573622)
They have changed for worst. When I upgraded my PC recently my retail Windows deactivated and it took me few days of talking to "support" to re-activate it. They were treating me like a potential thief and I had to even show them invoices that I have indeed purchased new motherboard. Another one - I purchased Visual Studio 2015 just before they released 2017. They didn't want to give me a refund nor upgrade deal. Oh and you cannot turn off spying in their Windows 10.
Re:Review: A Counterfeit, $100 iPhone X on Friday July 20, 2018 @04:14AM (#17573282)
I think this product would be aimed for children - just like you can buy toy car, toy kitchen or toy furniture, there is toy Apple iPhone for kid to get familiar with what adults are supposed to use.

That's probably to copy someone else ideas without doing their own research?
