Wouldn't it be simpler to make porn a regulated commodity that only the government, or those it authorises with permits, can produce? Like alcohol. But why stop there? Let's make sex a regulated activity that only the government can approve. This will solve the whole consent problem in the regulated space because every sexual interaction will be pre approved and in writing, with a no harm no foul escape clause if anyone changes their mind.

/S

But seriously, there's problems. if you want to ID people it might be easier to make every video begin with the actors holding up a placard that's like an anonymous crypto QR token clapper that somehow only government sensors can officially check, that's like a hash of their face id, and it's all in a big government bloom filter for registered porn stars. But then you couldn't stop people prefixing an unapproved video with their identities... Maybe the tech angle of not the right way to deal with this....
Yes but the place to do this is the place that has the biggest chance to succeed, so in the EU.
I'm an external auditor, this is definitely true. Large ERPs have special audits done over their technical systems that we can rely on and not really think too much about whether the system works or not, since another auditor has already signed off that it does.

I agree, it doesn't matter whether there is vacant housing or not, long term. If you supply enough housing to drop excess demand, it will pushing housing prices downward, leading to them being a poor investment, and any vacant housing will further sell off, leading to a positive feedback loop of increased housing supply.
heya, maht! nothing you read below will be news to you, but for the record here's what i think:

as far as the technical arguments against the Plan 9-descendent tools are concerned, yes, they're outdated. but the lack of cruft accumulating over the last 20 years in that toolchain is also the reason why they went with it as bootstrap for Go -- it was simple enough then. this is changing, that's why most of the Go runtime isn't written in C anymore.

the author made the argument that Go's toolchain is hard to port. this is contrary to previous experience with Plan 9's toolchain. i'm hoping 4ad (who did the port to solaris/illumos) can weigh in with his experience, but from what i saw in the commits the process did not take altogether long or appeared arduous. cgo is a separate matter, as we clearly see :)

as far as the author's personal dislike for all things pike that's a different issue altogether. and quite amusing :)

If not unions, some power structure must make for better working environments and conditions for people. It was once that someone working full time could afford a life. Amazon touts their $15 an hour like it’s something, but that’s lower than the industry average for warehouse workers. The quotas on warehouse workers and drivers are insane. Can’t wait for America to go back to having a real middle class.
> We manage LVM ourselves, yes. We don't do any live migration. Our disk offering is relatively new so we haven't exposed much snapshot based functionality to them. Most of them just want to know backups are happening and disks are encrypted, though.

Reasonable -- if all the workloads run in containers to start with and are service-y probably not a real need, and certainly not a real need if no customer has asked for it/had it be a deal breaker..

> Network isolation was much simpler with a little bit of bpf and a ipv6 tricks. Some of that is detailed here: https://fly.io/blog/ipv6-wireguard-peering/
> we'd have been fighting cni complexity to make it work.

Appreciate the candid responses, thanks for taking the time. That ipv6 wireguard peering post was really fascinating I read that too. Wireguard has been quite the a game-changer in it's space as well and a lot of value IMO is just in the simplicity and difficulty of misconfiguration, even though the performance is also fantastic.

Grateful that ya'll are sharing what you're doing right/finding interesting.

Since ya'll might appreciate this, I think there's an ultimate form of all these orchestrators out there that boils everything down to the "operator pattern" -- I call it "buhzaar" but I tried to get my thoughts out of the notebook a while ago[0]. It's almost like a completely normalized DB might be -- to strip an orchestrator down to it's bare minimum, which facilitates other processes that do resource provisioning and management. Then let people bring their own things that provision resources (and maybe you some "officially supported" ones but they all live separately and iterate separately).

I didn't quite put down all the thoughts I had but you think this is too much normalization (in the same way no one wants to do 7 joins)? You could argue that both nomad and k8s are denormalized (they intrinsically "know" how to provision/manage certain things) to a certain extent, and nomad just "bundles" less.

It's fine for a an airline to be estimating weights ahead of time with this kind of approximate model, but the final check that the craft is within the safety envelope should be done by weight sensors on the wheels...

Allowing the use of approximate models leads to airlines trying to push the boundaries to earn more profits (when paid per kilo for cargo, an overloaded plane is more profitable than a correctly loaded one).
This is a good path to go.

I like the 3 top uses.

As for questions, maybe when I write:

ffmpeg gui

I'll get a gui menu where I can select all the options, and that will generate a textual command for me that I could use further.

The hard part of course is creating GUI's for all the console apps.

Can that be done mechanically?
I don't know if it's simpler, and I don't have a dog in this fight, but: our users get direct access to a standard IPv4/IPv6 network that behaves the way you'd expect those networks to work, with a private IPv6 address/hostname they can bind to for services that should only be available to applications in their own organization, and a DNS server that quickly gives you all the available private addresses of an app as `my-app-name.internal`, with no mTLS and no sidecar proxies, and we implemented this in about a thousand lines of Rust and a couple hundred lines of eBPF C.

I hear "CNI" and I think "Istio". Is there a CNI plugin that would have gotten us this stuff for less effort?

Thanks! Super interested in this.
Singapore's GDP per capita isn't actually higher than the US but I get your overall point. The key differences there are "small nation" and "GDP/capita". Singapore is more comparable to a metropolitan region in the US, such as New York or Los Angeles, rather than the entire country.

There are smaller countries that have a higher GDP on average. Although some of those are suspect in reality; Ireland's is higher, but no one thinks of Ireland as especially more prosperous than say England. I wonder if it's because it's a tax haven.

Japan is not a small country at all. It's probably in the top 10 for population (off the top of my head, China > India > USA > Indonesia > Nigeria > Russia > Japan?). But there are no medium-to-large countries - population 35m+ - whose GDP per capita is within $10k of the US. The US is an outlier.

Moreover, I was talking about total GDP and not per capita. Among the current nations, only China and India have any hope of overtaking the US within our lifetimes (very slim for India). And that's only because of their gargantuan populations - per capita they'll still be far behind. For Japan to have overtaken the US in the 90s, they would have had to have a GDP per capita 3x of the US - which no country of any size has even today. Japan got really close, which is very impressive given its size.
If you shared your concerns with them respectfully, how would they react? There are multiple possibilities, but it will also tell you about the people that you're going to work with. If they handle your answer poorly, it might inform you that they're harder to work with. On the other hand, there's another extreme where they will say "We feel exactly the same way and maybe this is a good opportunity to switch". You just never know - if I were hiring you, I would want to know if there was something keeping you on the fence.
They have a lot of catching up to do if they want to improve reputation.

I agree. It goes without saying that most of the capital is owned by men. In which industry is that not the case?

The social commentary angle can't justify that line either: Bitcoin is a pseudonynous digital currency, that started trading at $0.10, and required nothing more than having a basic windows machine, and downloading the node software, to hold from the start. Very early on, downloading the standard wallet software was also all it took to mine bitcoin. If mostly men own it, it's because mostly men were interested in the concept early on.

In any case, despite containing that line, this was a good article and worth reading.

Did not downvote, I hate all views equally.

Perhaps it is the enormous cognitive dissonance. Western companies also take military funding and their surveillance systems were always better and more invasive.

The US is using statutes for national security interests to ban Chinese companies for contributing to alledged human rights abuses. Meanwhile we have documented human rights abuses in the West, and a US that does not shy away to cover a trade war and skewed commercial motives with anti-China propaganda.

US companies and agencies surveil outside the US. Capitalism-commercialization gave our rights to the likes of Zuckerberg and Amazon, who will turn your door bell into a police camera.

The Godwin was also a tad unnecessary. Perhaps you are a bit caught up in the heat of the moment. The propaganda machine is definately turning up the heat, so I do not blame you. Try to pose your argument without claiming the moral highground of the "free world". It is never fortunate that an entire country and its people struggles.

Accusing Ng and Altman of helping build a fascist surveillance state is a nasty accusation, which I feel you are not allowed to make.

Remember when the US had concentration camps for Japanese-Americans? Countries can change even without pressure or backlash (the US did not face any). Can you think of a modern group of people in the US being secluded from participation, facing state racism, and being locked away in ghettos, with no hope of social movement? Would China be justified in boycotting or sanctioning US companies for contributing to ICE, Guantanamo bay, or police violence, or Flynt's water, or Trump's racism?

Freedom of religion gave the US scientology and TV pastors and schools preaching creationism. It gave Europe extremist Salafism and terrorist attacks and people using the Bible to go after immigrants. You have to see China in that context: they see religion as a dangerous memetic virus to indoctronate youthful people into believing something not of their own choice. Countries have a right to make their own laws and their own tactics for improvement and combating extremism.

Edit: you may also receive downvotes from people who hate to hear negative stuff on China, or are paid 50 cents to do so.
I have fond memories of running Samba on CentOS at my first tech job at a university. We only had to support enough infrastructure for a couple hundred people in our department, but we wanted to do it with entirely open-source software. There's no way we could have done that if not for Samba. So thank you for working so hard to make that possible!

Abortion is a great one. Pro-choice advocates are painted as baby killers and murderers as opposed to those concerned with the rights of women, and pro-life advocates are portrayed as evil power hungry individuals who want nothing more than to control and degrade the rights of women, rather than people genuinely concerned about ending life at its most helpless stage.

Honestly abortion is one of the messiest, no easy answer issues out there and yet the vitriol and extreme rhetoric is completely over the top.

I've always been impressed with production engineers, cause they always find a way to explain to us (software/electric/electronic engineers) the issues with the marketing/commercial/supply chain side and explain to the executives/MBAs that, no, adding 10 people to a 5 people team won't make the team go 3 time faster. In big consortiums projects they are pretty much a glue imho.

Having a production engineer as an exec is probably the best way to run a successful team if you project involve multiple field of knowledge (as Apple probably does).

Tim Cooks understand tradeoffs, and this understanding should be expected of any top exec. Is it often the case?
Yep I mentioned that. It's a mall that's been slowly dying for several years. It is absolutely massive too.
I recommend Geany[1] to students learning Java for the same reason. Many students used to try to use Eclipse, but would get bogged down in Eclipse' notion of a "project" and other details that were unrelated to the simple tasks they were trying to do. Geany is much easier for them to get started with, and still provides a graphical way to run and debug code.

RE separation of concerns: Glad you like it, and yeah - the react approach is very popular so this won't suit everybody, but that's fine...people have different styles and I don't believe there's a one "right" way any more than there's a "best" programming language.

Yeah it's a tricky thing to write about concisely. On the one hand I wanted to add nuance to the alarmist headline, on the other (of course) I 100% agree with "let's not fuck around with the entire planet with tricky to predict effects like gulf stream etc."

I'm the kind of person that annoys all the Germans by driving 95km/h on highways because it cuts fuel emissions nearly in half compared to the recommended speed of 130km/h. We don't even pay for fuel, that's paid by my SO's employer, it's purely because it adds like 10% of time on most trips (those 2-3 minutes are negligible) and allows me to visit family without feeling as bad about individual transport (public transport isn't really an option here for trips further than the next city over, extremely poor connections even by German standards). Or wear extra clothing and put a blanket over my legs while working and see how low we can put the heater. Or not heat the bedroom at all during fall/spring and take a hot water bottle up to get warm under the blanket (must be way more efficient than heating the whole room up). In short, yep I'm with you on not gambling on these estimates. But I'm also for nuance and being realistic lest someone claims that "ökos" / climate weirdos hugely exaggerated again and it's all not so bad. I find it tricky.
Why is locking your computer at work a security concern? It's certainly another layer in the onion but a rather weak one and certainly not one worth losing someone over. If it's so big an issue, get him a smart watch that works with their OS of choice and enforce a bluetooth device locking policy.

Physical access is considered game over, no?
What is the relationship of his credentials to his logical argument? By arguing from credentials you implicitly take the side of the status quo in history; you'd have been arguing against every overturning of conventional wisdom.

I'm not saying all rejection of convention is correct, obviously - but if you look at the specifics of the argument, not the status or credentials of the arguer, it seems more likely to come to a correct judgement.
IIRC he did that to support something that wasn't otherwise possible at the time, having the same code base run in ASP and PHP (i.e. Windows and Linux).

Yes, 11 years after its debut and nearly a trillion in valuation, still ridiculously ignorant statements like "delivers no value". It delivers no value you care about. Many people care about money that can't be inflated, can't be stopped from being traded, and can't be controlled across international borders. Those are hugely valuable to some people, whether you find it valuable or not.
The confusion is worsened by people interpreting it as "[an] (entity component) system" or "[an] ((entity) (component)) system", when it's actually "[an] Entity–component–system [architecture]". That is, it's not a system of entities and components, it's an architecture comprising entities, components, and systems.

I agree with you: Amex is great at looking after their customers (card holders) and are so jealous about their info (for charge cards, don’t know about credit) that they share much less.

I do use visa for local small businesses (family restaurants etc) because the fee Amex charges merchants is higher than the others’. But especially online, their guarantees are worth it.

Here's the original study. The folks who performed the study have existing COVID-19 vaccine patents.

The study (perhaps conveniently for the patent holders) only tests whether "boosting" with Omicron specific vaccines would provide a benefit to those subjects who already received 2 doses of mRNA-1273 (eg. Moderna).

They didn't test how effective the mRNA-1273.529 (Omicron) specific vaccines were when given to the subjects on their own (at least not in this study).
> ADHD brains are physically incapable of doing these things without assistance on a neurological/biochemical level.

I realise the point that you're making is that ADHD is a biological condition, and it's likely you're using your wording for emphasis, but I think "physically incapable" is a bit strong.

Both my sister and I have ADHD, I don't take methylphenidate (ritalin) while she does. I'm still capable of being on time and working on things I find boring (though the latter is definitely a real struggle, so I try and make sure I work on interesting things which helps my productivity to no end). My sister, however, says that she really wouldn't be able to cope in a work environment without the meds.

One thing I'd like to point out, that is utterly unrelated to anything you're saying, is that people with ADHD can be hugely productive on things that they find interesting.
