CAP doesn't really apply to non-distributed systems. So I'm with the original sentiment. There is no CA.
I feel like this is a natural response to our lives having us interact with so many people. Some might like the atmosphere that comes from crowd experiences (sports, parades, etc) but we're generally not especially comfortable around strangers.

I enjoy interacting with family, friends and colleagues, but less so random people passing on the street.

We evolved in groups in which you might recognise or know detail about everyone around you. People often talk about tribes or townships of 150 people.

We're shutting in not from everyone, but from those outside that circle of 150 people.

I think our future virtual lives (building on current social networks) will allow us to very carefully manage our interactions with others. We will be somewhat insulated from the masses whether they are abroad or down the street.
> Who cares if the thing we're banning is intrinsically bad or not.

I’m sure you would care if the thing we’re banning is something you like that doesn’t hurt anyone.

> We also ban nuclear and biological weapons for good reason.

Do we? I thought we built them and kept them ready to use.

> Phrasing it in Latin doesn't make it any more compelling either.

Those are legal terms because actual judges, lawyers, law enforcement officers, and others have discussed this extensively and determined that the distinction is relevant.
agree, but as dot com or japanese bubble show us, it could go on for another year or two while us bears cringe
Don't beat yourself up. This is a video I come back to all the time for inspiration. It's probably the most important youtube video I've seen. I'm hoping it resonates with where you're at.

github.surf
this works same as github1s, but i like it more for no reason lol.

> you can go through courts and banks to get it back

That's something you read on the internet and that people keep repeating without having any understanding of. In reality it's quite far from the truth, because most fraudsters don't just steal your money and keep it on their accounts. They use fictional shell companies, they move the money around, they steal identities etc... The money is just not there to be returned.

Yes, you can go to the courts, but they are not going to magically give you some new money if there is none to be taken back, or none to be found. This is a very common occurrence.

Also courts only even help when there are very large sums involved. In all other cases it still costs more to go to the court than there is money to be saved, so it's a oot point.

Oh, and above all, the courts work exactly the same way with crypto, haven't you noticed this? Stealing is illegal and can be dealt with in courts, whether it's USD or BTC, it doesn't matter to the court. So what is the point of mentioning this?? If your fraudster still has their BTC, the court will get them back. Government has also seized a lot of BTC from criminals, so again, it's working exactly as USD in this regard.
Since they haven't chosen a ticker yet what's the best way to sign up for updates on this and get in on this early?
So maybe a showcase that a great combination of words in a title is enough to generate upvotes?

That's probably because there is way too much prior art. We used NeFeB magnets in my fusion reactor... in 1995. I'm sure we weren't the first.

The insight that Zarnstorff had wasn't that permanent magnets are strong enough to help fusion (neos aren't significantly stronger than they were a few decades ago), it was that the poloidal field twist in a stellarator could be assisted by permanent magnets, saving energy.

You may be familiar with donut-shaped tokamaks. To work, a tokamak has to have a field in both the toroidal (around the donut hole) and poloidal (up through the donut hole) direction. This causes a twist in the region where the plasma is. There are a number of ways to make the poloidal field; the classic way is to run current through the plasma.

A stellarator has magnets that already incorporate that twist in their magnetic field, so they don't need current in the plasma to supply it. What this paper is about is using permanent magnets to supply some of the field needed for that twist instead of using the main magnets, so you can use fewer or weaker main magnets.
Plenty of milk, eggs, water here. Oddly enough, bananas, bread and chicken are what disappeared. I went this morning though and chicken, fruit, bread, etc.. is fully stocked again. Just missing paper and cleaning products.

My goto 'cheap' meal is bacon, eggs, sautéed tomatoes/mushrooms. It's more than $1.50/day, but has good nutrition and tastes good. Potatoes have also not been an issue here. So another feed the family, reasonable meal is pot roast.
Depending on the circumstances, I often do. For a big topic like this, part of the reason I like it is that the pacing is better. It tends to be less densely packed, and lets me read through something carefully but not feel too strained. It also has a story, if you will, that helps me get back on track later on if I'm sticking with it. It's not to say a more formal style of writing couldn't achieve similar goals, but I just find they don't tend to.

There are plenty of scenarios where it wouldn't fit (references, specifications, etc) of course. So I don't think it's great everywhere. But yeah, overall I find it easier to read when starting out on a big topic.
TPMs are also pretty handy for low-level corporate security. Setup disk encryption, store in the TPM then either boot directly (allowing RAM attacks) or require a PIN (requiring someone to break the TPM itself). That's a pretty nifty feature for general security.

I think the distrust and confusion around TPMs and so on is due to Microsoft's moronic handling of Vista's protected playback system and people have extrapolated from there.
quit giving away my hiring secrets!

the brainteaser-whiteboard-fizz-buzz-5-member-panel interview is, and has always been, highly unreliable, if only for the sole reason that PEOPLE GET NERVOUS. gee whiz, what a concept. back here on earth us mere mortals have to deal with things like nervousness, forgetfulness, and intimidation on a regular basis.

let's not forget sociopaths or assholes in a bad mood who deliberately try to make people feel nervous. they exist. that's a thing. i've seen it with my own eyes.

it is an unreasonably strict high-pass filter that gives false negatives people who are otherwise perfectly valid for developer jobs. that's great if you've got millions or billions in the bank and have carnegie mellon grads lined up out the door. that's awful if you've got $50k in the bank and you need someone competent working on things yesterday.

SO much value can be won by hiring people who can't or won't deal with this kind of scenario. on both sides of the table.
Don’t worry, there are a million people chomping at the bit to call everything “okay” and to “respect” each other at all costs.

Three cheers for positive self-talk! Inclusive communities! Respecting all beliefs!
>You may not know if he takes a dim view of your tactic or not, and you may not realize that you're slowly being sidelined.

Sure, and maybe my manager is sidelining me because I remind them of their ex. Anything is possible. As I said in the original comment, an objection is a sign of a place you probably don't want to be working at anyway. I would definitely jump at the first sign of trouble, but I would wait for that sign. I wouldn't assume there is trouble without any evidence or avoid trying to negotiate on the assumption that it will cause trouble.
I have used a mechanical turk tool to do usability testing, this type of qualitative feedback would probably not do very well on there.

People doing mechanical turk have one goal, to complete your task as fast as humanly possible, even when laid out fairly concrete steps you end up with a lot of feedback that isnt necessarily useful, either because they purposefully skipped it or there was communication issues or they just decided it wasnt time efficient.

I know mechanical turk has a feedback mechanism, but there is so much signal to noise that we found it much more useful to go and meet real people.
What sites Have done iterative and incremental changes, initially deployed to subsets of their users? I can immediately think of: Facebook, Amazon, twitter, zappos, and flickr.

It's generally not newsworthy because it generally doesn't lead to totally disruptive fiascos.
They should do the same thing brothel owners did when women started giving sex away for free. Get a different job.
a. Send out free copies to every game blogger you can to get reviews

b. Set up a one page website that does a better sales job (include a video of the product in action)

c. Give away a limited free version w an upgrade path
Okay. I concede.
Shame it got a better title over at Reddit: "Getting to 5,000 Users after Launching on HN and Reddit."
I've been playing around with the source today (planning to take a closer look at the file itself tomorrow). While there are definitely a fair amount of anomalie, even without removing the intended obfuscation in iPhoneTracker it still tells a good story. After adjusting the accuracy of the GPS grid and changing the animation to daily, it was easy to track where I had been.

It would probably be hard to track to any specific address (that's what I am looking into now) but by matching date with the coordinates it was trivial to see where I went for: 4th of July, my friends bachelor party and wedding, Halloween, Thanksgiving and New Year's Eve... among other events.
To quote from my original comment:
Apple probably didn't set out to track users ... That doesn't mean the data won't be enough to track movements in urbanised areas.

Whether this is really a scandal, I don't know. But it certainly seems surprising to me.
iOS uses skyhook (or a workalike) to turn wifi MAC addresses into geospatial locations.
The only way this could be more hair-splitty is to argue "Apple isn't tracking you, it's tracking your device". Yes, there are valid reasons for this to exist. Doesn't change my user perspective that this is an electronic trail I do not want readily accessible.
I moved from Los Angeles to the rural area I grew up a year ago. The biggest thing I miss is the people. There are a fraction of the people here that there were in LA and the average education, income, and general approachability here is much lower. Plus almost everyone I have met out here is refusing to get the Covid vaccine because of conspiracy theories.
I personally hold to the ethos of innocent until proven guilty, but suit yourself.
It's definitely really hard to deal with refunds. You can make 10 sales in one day, but if there's only 1 refund, you might feel sad and disappointed.

About the reasons for refunds - you're right, many people buy without reading and then ask for refund later. Others might feel buyer's remorse.

In my case, the most common request was because of their personal taste. You see, I'm selling a theme for developers and they usually spend a lot of time using the same theme. It takes time to adapt to a new one color scheme, and some people ended up asking for the refund before they get used to it.
when is coinbase going to IPO?

I thought support could help me out given the CentOS situation and it being a special case but they weren't even aware of what was happening or that users would need to move off despite my explanation in the ticket. Hopefully it's better now it's more widely known.
Very good points. I suggested the RFC because it usually forces you to think about those very things. What is the protocol? What do you need to make it work? How do you setup a call? How do you tear one down? What bits are in the payloads? Which side has which responsibility? What happens when there is an error? What sort of errors should I expect as a client/server? What if the other side is a different endianness?

Starting in python is not a bad one to do. I think it is a great prototype language. Your suggestion of going to something simpler like C is not a bad idea. It would shake out those dependencies they did not know they had. Python is sneaky about that, as it has some very nice tools just to manage its own data (looking at you dictionaries). But those same tools do not exist in C without some external lib or extra code.
the issue with 'web'mentions is that they're in fact htmlmentions or even better microformatmentions. Duh.

They insist on microformats which are no use for any content other than html, in my case atom: https://demo.mro.name/shaarligo

Plz prove me wrong.
Pallene and Teal are in a bit of a different space. Teal is focused on compile-time type checking. The intention is to encourage you to add type annotations to your entire Lua codebase. It's another take at the problem that Typed Lua was trying to solve. A Typed Lua 2.0, if you want to call it that way.

Pallene, on the other hand, is more focused on performance. The tradeoff is that it doesn't cover the entirety of the Lua language, just the features that we can generate fast code for. The intention is that you can write the performance-critical parts in Pallene and glue everything together using Lua (or Teal).

That said, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we saw more cross pollination of ideas between these two languages in the future :)
And of course the counterpoint is, plants don't sequester carbon, they only buffer it. Plants are carbon-netural - they release what they stored as they decompose. Being self-replicating and something we have lots of experience with are good features, but to turn this into a carbon sequestration mechanism we need to have a program of continuously cutting these plants down and storing them in places the air can't reach.

One thing I'd love to see is a replacement PSU for the 128DCR. The flat 128 seems to have modern replacements, but I could not find one for the DCR.

I got a 128DCR as a thrift-shop find like 5 years ago, but it had an iffy PSU. I was lucky to find a surplus vendor with a cache of NOS units a few years ago. (If they had mentioned the word 'Commodore' on their product description, they would have likely long ago sold through, but it was mentioned on some old Amiga forum in passing) I'm sure you could bolt together two of those metal-cage SMPS units to provide the right voltages, but even a simple guide like "Buy models X and Y, and here's how you wire it to a harness" would be a useful resource.
I'm not sure why these posts from NPR, CNN, NY Times, and other reliable sources are being flagged. Hacker News will discuss Hong Kong protests, etc.
Perhaps you are making assumptions about my age. The extension from reasonable to unreasonable affected many works from my childhood on schedule to enter the public domain during my 30s and 40s.
Misses "2015" in the title I guess.
We hired one who couldn't. He turned out to be more of a mentor/big vision/best practices guy. Which is probably OK to have one or two of those if you're a large enough org.

But we had 3 devs. I think he gave some great advice (and looking back - still think so 12 years later), but it just wasn't what we needed at the time.

The funny thing is, when we let him go (he knew it was coming - he wasn't blind to the problems) he got hired at a company we worked regularly with. Things worked out much better for him there.
I guess it could be. Either that or I'm overestimating the thief's long term planning ability :)

Still - if they're not paying the taxes I wouldn't call it laundering.
You expect Congress to understand this in the first place?

Sure, the power balance just shifted substantially, but it still doesn't change the fact that a significant chunk of its leadership (majority party or otherwise) can't be bothered to understand how search rankings work, or how Facebook makes money.

And this extends at least as far back as the 90s, when Congress shuttered the Office of Technology Assessment, whose literal job was to educate them on these exact sorts of issues.
But also, the non technical managers I have seen were mostly toxic. And none of them were good - not even those who were decent people.

It is not that all or most engineers would be good manager, but without that background you are guaranteed to not be good.
I wish there was a picture of liquid glass in a cup or beaker to see how it looks in real.
Slavery was normal in egypt too. We're only like 150 years past that being normal. Dogs were useful in ancient times as well. They warned of predators and could protect cattle. Not really relevant anymore. Most modern pets are genetically engineered for centuries to be cute and docile and completely dependent on humans.
people willing to pay for YT Premium are probably more valuable than the average viewer

What does it mean in a context?
> So you would want us to hold ourselves to the highest standards, while they could play every dirty trick in the book

Yes. You want democratic values to survive over generations, not "democracies". Spying on your own citizens, to figure out how to manipulate them better through corporates, transfers the power from the people to select corporates and government. It upsets the balance of power that democracy promises. And is thus an attack on its very essence.
When you say a “nice” pool, how big is that pool? Are there many examples of it being exploited on a scale that affects election outcomes?

I agree there is a risk that bad actors could exploit this vulnerability, but there is also a risk purging voters prevents legitimate voters. That is especially concerning when the purges come from a government controlled by one party in an area heavily populated by voters of another party.

So it is not cut and dried. There are reasonable arguments on both sides, but my personally calculation is it is less likely someone gets away with finding people who have moved and casting votes on their behalf. It is more likely that a bunch of politicians purge voting rolls in districts that lean the other direction. Especially as we have 150 years of evidence of the latter but few examples of the former.
Currently working on a handful related to retro tech and networking. None of it is very monetizable.

1. I have a handful of old ISDN video terminals that use the H.320 standard for video conferencing. Working on getting these up along with a server that will let me use them with more modern tech.

2. I started briefly on a few prototypes for an X.25 implementation. I haven't worked on this in a while. X.25 is still mildly confusing to me.

3. I have a CMTS and a decent SDR to eventually maybe build my own DOCSIS modem prototype. I'll probably use the SDR for a handful of other things in the future.

4. Provided I get any of the prior done, I might try to build a token ring stack.

5. Even further out, there are a number of technologies I want to play with, notably visible light communication. Perhaps when 802.11bb is released I’ll take a look.

The cool thing is I have all these old network protocol analyzers from the 80s-90s that will actually get used for a "practical" reason. Funny enough it's significantly cheaper to buy these than to get the cards to implement T1/E1, V.35, RS449, etc. interfaces for a modern PC.

Eventually, I want to build a custom piece of furniture to house and rack a lot of my equipment for my retro network, complete with modular panels on the side for access to serial / network ports along with servers and my dummy terminal. I don't think I'll have the space, skills or environment for this any time soon, though.
imagine if I said this: "cell phones have unlocked the full potential of sending crime communications".

should we ban cell phones?
We can take it as given that potential bad guys have been stopped by the combined efforts of the TSA and other agencies. The questions is whether it's been the barbaric security theatre by a cast of hundreds of thousands or hard work by a few people based on human intelligence.
I’ve worked with many offshore devs over the last decade and really do have a great deal of respect for these folks. That said, in my experience you get maybe 1/10th of the useful output from cheap offshore devs as compared to mid-level U.S. and Canada based devs.
