You're not exactly impartial when it comes to Meerkat: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9269693

The reason companies take venture capital is to facilitate growth. If the company is trending downward three days after funding, especially in the immediate response to a direct competitor, that's a very bad sign, both for the company, and the venture capital firm.
That's a nice theory, but has it been demonstrated to work in any real systems? Is it known to be a workable solution at the scale of Usenet/Reddit?
not really a favorite poet, but a favorite poem : 'Cat in an empty apartment'

Die--you can't do that to a cat.
Since what can a cat do
in an empty apartment?
Climb the walls?
Rub up against the furniture?
Nothing seems different here
but nothing is the same.
Nothing's been moved
but there's more space.
And at nighttime no lamps are lit.

Footsteps on the staircase,
but they're new ones.
The hand that puts fish on the saucer
has changed, too.

Something doesn't start
at its usual time.
Something doesn't happen
as it should.
Someone was always, always here,
then suddenly disappeared
and stubbornly stays disappeared.

Every closet's been examined.
Every shelf has been explored.
Excavations under the carpet turned up nothing.
A commandment was even broken:
papers scattered everywhere.
What remains to be done.
Just sleep and wait.

Just wait till he turns up,
just let him show his face.
Will he ever get a lesson
on what not to do to a cat.
Sidle toward him
as if unwilling
and ever so slow
on visibly offended paws,
and no leaps or squeals at least to start.

-- Wislawa Szymborska

it never fails to get to me.
here's how we manage our dev environment: https://developers.coinbase.com/blog/2015/03/30/self-service...
The main reason why Seldon is different from other open-source prediction engines:
* Seldon have come from a background of high-scale enterprise deployments before releasing an open source platform, not the other way around. In other words, we already optimized for real-time low latency high throughput production environments.
* Seldon provides an end-to-end componentized setup - i.e. front end UI, real-time prediction server, offline machine learning jobs, web-scraping, etc.
* Seldon allows developers to run A/B tests and change algorithms with no downtime.
* Seldon will provide enterprise features like automated performance optimization of customer's own algorithms using micro-services.
This course reading contains a lot of information too: http://www.cs286.net/home/reading-list
The Bay Area is pretty awesome however the housing prices are not, I would say it's the single biggest issue here. I've been told my $2000/mo Rent for a 500Sqft 1Br Apartment in San Mateo is a "good deal".. to contrast that the mortgage on my 2000Sqft house back in Miami (not far from the beach) is $650/mo including Taxes and Insurance.

Plausible deniability here.

I see this true for both GME & Bitcoin. Both worth practically nothing elsewhere than in the investors' minds.
Good news for semiconductor companies. It's time to expand production!!
Basically everyone with an iPhone uses an Apple ID. It is certainly not hyperbole that the devices usability would be very severely impacted without access to Apple's servers.
I personally am seeing a ton of activity in 3D powered web experiences. Eventually it will mix with webXR for the AR/VR devices of the future. If you are interested in these technologies, Blender will be one of the most important tools to know I suspect.
Now you can port Slashem to more platforms than Nethack 3.4.3 itself :D
> The Do Not Call list started in 2003, but it seems it's starting to be taken a lot more seriously lately.

Is it though?

I'd say Do-Not-Call is a failure. Much like CAN-SPAM. Both are 2003. Check the calendar. I'm still wading through more spam than ever in my inbox and getting an ever increasing number of scammers calling my cell phone.

The problem is always going to be that you need a watchdog with teeth. As we've seen in recent years, all of these government three letter agencies can be gutted simply by swapping in some corporate patsy at the top. Maybe you can beg the government mommy for your freedom and law enforcement back in 4-8 years. Antitrust laws exist. How many decades have we gone now since actual, serious enforcement?

Shouldn't Do-Not-Track be the default anyway? Why must we opt out of tracking, spam calls, and spam emails?

And, of course, the elephant in the room is: who wants spam calls, spam emails, and tracking in the first place? No one! No one would opt in to any of that crap. Which is why the laws are carefully designed for apathy and toothless enforcement.

If you want to talk legislation then talk legislation. If you want to talk tech solutions then talk tech solutions. But an HTTP header is neither of those things.

Imagine we all just drop encryption. Instead we just pass a flag in the TCP header that says "please don't look at my data passing through this network." Yeah that sounds insane, right?
Is there any pricing information for Triton yet?
> They are going to support JavaScript soon

Whoa. Slow down. They have only confirmed replacing their custom configuration language with JavaScript and hinted at an official JavaScript module [1], as opposed to the existing third-party module [2].

Bundling a Node.js-like JavaScript api layer with their official module would be a logical next step, because nginx is an event loop anyway. But, I highly doubt JavaScript will be anywhere near the Nginx core.

Do you have a link to that white paper? A quick search on their research site doesn't really yield any results.
Don't worry. There are still big parts of the world outside of the technology industry that are held hostage by Microsoft and their devoted IT department foot soldiers who refuse to acknowledge anything outside of the Microsoft bubble.
> It looks like a bug in the init script

Which is what happens when you have every daemon writing their own PID handling code, running as root, in a language whose interpolation rules nobody really understands.
Author here. Thanks for the heads-up. Had never occurred to me before ...

If you've got the expertise to add it, sounds like it would be welcomed.
Think of it in light of yesterday's HN discussion of minimalism in possessions. If you were only going to leave yourself with a few feet of closet space, what would you keep. The suit and your dress shirts, of course, and then maybe a sports coat and your sport shirts and then maybe a khaki. Now you can go anywhere. You can't say the same thing about a wardrobe consisting of t-shirts and shorts.
The load balancer could append a header though with a session ID that is the same for the same HTTP/2 session, and then the server can batch based on the session ID and timeframe.
"choosing suburbs to simplify car ownership"

Explain how a car owns ME, not a straw man.
> There is so much creativity shared via the Internet by non-tech-savvy people that just wouldn't have been possible via the "old Internet".

Could you explain how you got to that conclusion?

It would be impossible for non-tech-savvy people to share things on the internet if there were no omni-present surveillance, manipulation, and centralization, because ... ?
Seconded. It's Mullvad, tho, not Mulvad ;)
I have been a customer since a while and cannot complain. They support wireguard, which is nice, and of course plain OpenVPN connections, but offer apps for various platforms too. They do not pay for reviews, which is nice (and quite telling that other do), they are own by to Swedish guys. Their price is a €5/month (for simultaneous 5 VPN connections, no data caps) and you can pay in cash* or bitcoin if you want.

And no, I am not paid or otherwise compensated to write this, or affiliated with them other then being a customer.

[*] They even say: "Please avoid writing your name or address on the envelope."
To some extent the fact people live so far from work and family is caused by the car, if it hadn't been available people would have made different choices.
You don’t see a possible correlation between a product being killed and its primary advocate being fired in disgrace?
They should investigate ARM's Server Base System Architecture (SBSA) specification[1,2]. It is designed to provide a standardised ARM platform e.g. ACPI, simplified feature sets, standard SMP, power control etc. It's meant to be as boring as possible.

It's popular enough that Microsoft and Red Hat target it to produce a single image that will work on all ARM server SoC vendors e.g. Ampere, HXT, Marvell, Qualcomm.

Despite the 'server' in the name it can be applied to any 64-bit ARM SoC. There is also Server Base Boot Requirements (SBBR) that describes the boot requirements for SBSA.

I do wonder if racing cars for a brand has any meaningful PR value. I mean is there anybody out there buying Mercedes because they won the F1 championship?
If Jon Masters is present, it is a very high guarantee that they are focusing on ARM server chips
Could you summarize the way in which it is "relevant" (and to what)?
Most important bit of insight in this article: no ECC (Atoms are consumer CPUs and as far as I can tell Intel is very rigorous about limiting ECC to official server chips).

ADDED: in his reference post (http://perspectives.mvdirona.com/2009/10/07/YouReallyDONeedE...) he says "All AMD processors whether server, embedded, or client have ECC. All ARMs have ECC." and makes some other very interesting comments,
This is no longer true. Most trades are automated, to one extent or another. The intent is generally from humans, though--for example, if one person is bullish about a stock, and purchases 10,000 shares, it might lead to 30,000 more shares being traded by algorithms trying to capture profits from the tiny perturbations caused by this initial trade).

However, many stock trading algorithms appear to fade short-term trends and ride long-term trends (you can see this if you look at stocks with high hedge fund ownership; they tend to have gone up a lot, with any extreme moves quickly dampened).
No, sample size is intimately tied to this fallacy.

Each observation can be loosely thought to lend power to whatever analysis you choose to run, even those including very large numbers of possible explanations. For instance:

You know, Rodriguez is 7 for 8 against left-handed pitchers in asymmetric ballparks when the tide is going out during El Niño.

is a valid statement if the model you're using includes factors for pitcher-handedness, ballpark design, and weather patterns. This is an extraordinarily broad model though almost every observation is at least a little bit novel at first, so you need a great deal of power to distinguish truly interesting things.

If you sample sufficiently (exercise left to the reader) and randomly across all those effects you'd serve a chance of learning something about how they correlate in a statistically profound fashion.

The barb of the fallacy is forgetting to watch your possibility space grow as you reach for new explanations. The moment you mention the weather you become beholden to divide your certainty by the total number of weather patterns. Unless you're very careful, that number is usually very, very large.
I think hype does far more harm than good. It tends to produce blanket opposition to nuclear power rather than pressure to do it well. And nuclear facilities are already over-engineered. What we need is calm examination of the risks and benefits, not hype.
The article is not getting a good reception at /r/linguistics: https://np.reddit.com/r/linguistics/comments/2r4853/what_the....
Not to detract from your point (which is very true; for machine translation to match human translations they need equal access to and understanding of context), but as a native German speaker, your example seems wrong to me :). "It is pleasing to her" = "es gefällt ihr","It is pleasing to them" = "es gefällt ihnen".

No doubt it's possible to construct examples that support your agument in just about any language, though. I'd recommend East Asian ones, since they're less heavy on the pronouns than Indo-European languages, and you can generally often omit subject or object if it's clear from context, or are even expected to for good style. Korean poetry even relies on intentional ambiguity a lot of the time, forcing the reader to consider the options, for their enjoyment or to challenge them.
Ma Bell.
Would say that almost all cities / larger towns in Sweden has municipal heating via hot water. And acc. to wikipedia around half of all housing units in Denmark, Sweden and Finland has municipal heating.
> The narrative around bitcoin has always been "It is digital currency. It works like gold".

It has not been that for years. It failed miserably as a currency, and the current narrative is that it is a "store of value".
Is that true?

You can avoid having to list things in the nutrition labels if it's opt-in?
What do you mean by “common anti-spam white lists”? AFAIK there are none. There are common black lists. And the only whitelists are per-user, maybe per-org for work email.
Downvoters might read up on which country those pharma profits overwhelmingly come from and why companies like Novartis or Roche are worth what they are worth. As a European the US healthcare system gives me a failed-state vibe, but there are people close to me profiting directly from the absurd prices it pays for drugs.
As a working class American why should I care about cutting off Iran from international bank transactions? US wages have been stagnant for 40 years while executive pay has ballooned.

Yes. Dozens of small parties and political organizations have been targeted by finance in both the US and the UK.
Housing as a service
Yes this is exactly what early stage and seed investors are doing. They know the idea will still live, but they trust the team to figure out what to do.

I know several people on both sides of this equation.
He's not saying it's a market for lemons, though it is. He's saying that even when big companies select the best vendors, the end results aren't meaningfully different.

For a Fortune 500 enterprise, retaining the very best firms in the world and selecting the very most secure products does not foreclose on Sony-style outcomes. To accomplish that, enterprises need to rewire their entire internal IT processes to orient themselves towards security. Nobody does that, for the same reason that most modern software isn't built with processes (immutability, strong typing, pattern matching) that foreclose on bugs.

There's a benefit to selecting security expertise carefully. But that benefit isn't "insurance against the Sony outcome".

I'm unaware of a VC that's intelligent about security, but the expectation that they would have any security domain expertise misconstrues the job of a VC; it's a little bit like thinking that an energy options trader would have a significant understanding of mechanical engineering principles. It's much more important that they know how to evaluate addressable market size, go-to-market plans, and sales management.
Forgive me, but I'm kind of missing the point of this article. It's a basic review of a pretty ordinary looking resume builder?

This is the real boom in online shopping in all sectors.

I wonder if things will ever go back to the "old way" after this crisis, not least because brick and mortar stores are being destroyed on an unprecedented scale.

PG's best writings are the ones where he writes about what he knows. He obviously knows a lot about ideas, how to execute on them, raising money, disputes that come with it. This is a very good example.

It's when he writes about things he doesn't know much about that his essays become incoherent and confused.

Long term, THE major problem is the expectation to profit every time, stupidly, nobody with the money cares if one of that times the whole world gets infected:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-long-will-it-ta...

"There may never be a market for a vaccine at the end of the development process, because the epidemic is contained, or never comes to pass. Then, traditionally, if there is an epidemic, it may take hold in a developing country where the costs of research and development cannot be recouped. “The resources and expertise sit in biotech and pharma, and they’ve got their business model,” Grant said. “They’re not charities. They can’t do this stuff for free.”"

The "investors" just want the growth of their money, even the money they make would become meaningless after the pandemics that's efficient enough. The nature is indeed capable to set its own growth not caring about the "interests of investors."

Obviously the whole structure as well as the priorities just have to be set differently. The next time could be even much worse than now.

Which must be a political decision for change, not a technological "invention". The technology is not a "deux ex machina" -- the natural limitations are real. Some solutions exist but simply can't be expected to "make profit every time." So how can it be done? Taxes. What was too dangerous selling point for generations of politicians? "Less taxes."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina

But the taxes are even now used, and spent in mind boggling amount, just for other priorities, year after year:

I find the wording kind of problematic. If someone asked me if I was for "ending drug prohibition", I would have to say no. If someone asked me about specific ones, then I would probably say yes to some of them. I would have serious problems with the legalization of meth or crack. I would also say I don't want to give a huge loophole to pharmaceutical companies to put their wares on the streets without formal testing.
nothing i said was factually incorrect.

the truth hurts i guess.

it's pretty funny that you revisionist history mormon apologists will claim that his 1826 trial records are fake, but think gold tablets sent by angels and never seen by anyone are real. that's super consistent.
Thanks for the tip.

Fortunately, little Bobby Tables isn't one of my relatives.

I'll update it to use UTF8 when I get a free moment.
Scsh (a Scheme based shell) is probably the most promising example of the shell revisited and done in an established language that I've seen, but there are serious problems with it's implementation. It won't run on x86_64 for starters...

S-Expressions should allow you to do anything a shell can do, and with good completion (it'd have to be at least as good as Zsh's) I could see it being usable. Somebody just needs to do it right.
"Add a row" is not a good call to action since "row" is a developer term. I'd go with something like "Add more users".
From the description: "The goal is to have a portable assembler." Why not just use Fortran?
You're right, but, like a lot of old-but-new things on HN, I hadn't heard of Etherpad, or read pg's praise of it, before this article. There are probably a lot more people like me reading the Atlantic, than people like you, to whom it's all old news.
Just saw that you also built trendistic. How big is that index? Am trying to get a feel for the size of index to make a compelling contest entry.
Great service, I might have to switch my fraternity which is using a paid and broken service (textmelater.com) over to this.
One quick thing though. The title tag of the form field didn't show up on Mac FF (3.6.13) and it isn't apparently obvious what the fields are there for. Maybe add a label to the fields or at least the top name and number fields to make them stand out more.

> Right, so not exactly something that you can base much on (yet).

Because the situation is constantly changing you can't postpone reasoning and decisions till solid data is available. If you did that you'd always be wrong because you'd reason and operate on solid data that is stale.

You need to take into account the preliminary data and adjust your reasoning and decisions as more data comes in.

> I could also make very similar arguments about the AZ vaccine, as a younger person.

How would that look?

> Declaring your statements to be "basic evolution" does not make them true.

Content of the statements does. Check them with your favorite evolutionary biologist or virologist.

> The article was talking about the British one.

So the data from last August seem to be imprecise because more recent data shows that British variant is certainly not less deadly than the original one.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/10/health/coronavirus-varian...

> Using some similar fuzzy evidence, it would seem that "long Covid" sufferers are primarily people who caught Covid in March/April 2020.

That would be great if British variant at least didn't give people long covid. My country is in the peak of third wave, the first one caused overwhelmingly by British variant so it's a bit too soon to tell.

Democracy isn't necessary for success, until it is. Xi's whole idea is that you have a highly efficient government that takes care of their people for the most part. That's great, and I would agree it's better... until the unaccountable people in power become corrupt or inept. Then it's terrible.
Ermmmm, I don't understand how this is the "car industry fucking everyone over".

Even if what you wrote is true - it's just the market at work. If the car companies can pay enough to get slots in a fab and beat out smaller players so be it.

The demand for semiconductors currently exceeds supply. This means there will be shortages, price increases etc, until further capacity can be brought online or demand is lowered.

I don't think there's any "bad guys" here.
Predictions with no data or reasoning to back them up are worthless, especially when there’s no skin in the game.
