We're not disagreeing. Google is absolutely trying to exert control over the web but Blink and V8 aren't tools that can realistically help them with that. Especially in the hands of other teams that are free to carry patches.

If Firefox became a Chrome skin then sure, v bad for the web. But if Firefox internally used Bink and V8 it's not really all that doom and gloom.
Drones aren't as cheap as you might think when you actually tally the total system cost, including ground systems; and the UAVs still have significant issues operating in various mixed airspaces. Take a look at the costing for General Atomics Predator and Northrop Grumman Global Hawk systems, as well as the issues the Germans have had with the latter.
Nah, that's old news. Visit /r/ShortSqueeze or /r/ShortSqueezeArmy for their next target. And it wouldn't be hedge funds taking it down, because there's a Discord backup.
Okay, but

1) They clearly didn't intend to incite people to attack, and

2) How much responsibility are you really going to lay at their feet for that? If I say in a comment, "yes, we really need to do better at fighting climate change", there will absolutely be some people who will take that as an opportunity to start a flamewar. Some topics are controversial enough to where fairly innocuous statements might get people flaming -- is discouraging the innocuous statements really the right move? You're essentially saying that it's each commenter's job not to offend people, even if the offended parties are being unreasonable. That effectively hands a subject-matter banhammer to them.

I don't entirely disagree with what you're saying about expected value of the subthread, I just think that there's a line there, and in this case the GP stayed well on the right side of it.
Google Cloud, AWS, MS Auzra are made to lock you into their system. I guess if fine if you are ok with it and you don't have an experienced systemadmin/dev op on hand.

There are plenty of cloud agnostic platform out there that does VPS, load balancers. digital ocean, linode, etc.

If you want to be green there is also the Advania they use geothermal energy. And since it is in iceland better data protection policy than US companies.

I'm not affiliated with any one of them, it is just from year of cloud provider hopping.
I thought it seemed really cool when I first heard of it, but that was over a decade ago and nothing has come of it.
GME is up 130% so I assume everyone headed over to Reddit to see what was happening.
I guess next year's taxes will have to be paid in NewGovCoin, which nobody has yet. Then hand out NewGovCoin to those who need help.
We can certainly discuss definitions (as I understand it, GP's number is the number of bank notes in circulation plus the amount of money in checking accounts in the blue line, and bank notes alone in the red line). But Wikipedia lists the number from 2010, which is completely outdated. Counting only bank notes it's 88 bn CHF today.
Nothing stops you from coding a semantically equivalent solution in C, just with structs and function calls that abstract over the details of io and calling realloc correctly.
No one is perfect
I’ve previously worked at one before and have since drifted away from basic research. At this point I am gravitating toward it again... in your opinion, what FFRDCs are best at providing that freedom / are less political?
> I know that HPB has always had a good selection of 78s on the shelves and that is why I took them.

Oh, that's great. My local store doesn't have them.

> I also have a large collection of vinyl albums from the late 60's through the mid-80's that I tried to sell/give to a well-known local record shop in FtWorth. They wouldn't touch my albums or 45s and told me that most albums have no real value. This, in spite of the fact that their entire store was wall-to-wall used albums.

It's weird the way it works with vinyl: there's enough out there that it's still really, really cheap. But it's not necessarily easy to buy any given item.
Well, they should. Permanent record of every small transgression or juvenile excess or stupidity is inhumane...
Could it be krill or whatever food source are hemmed in by the sound of ships and the whale is following food.

This might be more about krill than whales?
It's just an extension of that other social disease called "culture". Bullying and excluding people for saying uncool things has always happened at a small local scale, and people mostly adapted by keeping their mouths shut.
Thank you for pointing this feature out. IA never cease to amaze me.
I lost all hope in plastic recycling. As an anecdote, outside of my building I've found everything from dirty pizza boxes, toilet paper, dog poop and socks in our recycling bins. There has also been plenty of plastic that isn't processed locally. I even put a sign up once about what is accepted, and still to this day I pull things out to correct what people throw in.

I really think progress with plastics has to be before the materials ever reach consumers. And if we are to recycle it by throwing it in a bin, I think there needs to be an incentive for people to play along and not mess everything up.

Interested in pretty much anything, as long as the management is good and employees are happy :). Functional languages preferred, however I have experience in various languages and frameworks over the years. I'm ready to face technical challenges of all kinds and happy to learn more.
Their traffic allotment is fairly generous compared to comparable services. Sure, if you compare it to something like 1and1 with 'unlimited' for $12, maybe not, but you don't get the same control and reliability for something like that. If you compare it to how much it would cost to serve the same requests on Amazon S3, it's much cheaper.
I'd be interested in seeing more analysis of this.

It is pretty close to a cloverleaf interchange (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverleaf_interchange), but with the addition of stoplights on the road.

It seems that this will still suffer the weaving problem that plagues cloverleaf intersections - note how on the bridge cars first enter the road (from the freeway) and then shortly afterward, leave.

Perhaps this could be mitigated by placing stoplights on the offramps (which can be conveniently anti-synchronized with the lights controlling the bridge entrance), but I imagine space on the offramp could be a huge issue.
Yeah, I'm glad they have the linode.typepad.com status blog - when Dallas is down, I can't connect to members.linode.com or status.linode.com to see what is going on! I know DOS attacks aren't their fault, but we've had a few more interruptions recently compared to usual.
Submit it how? Submit it where? It's obvious you know nothing about this.

Each one of those protocols works totally different. Different ports, different messages to the server, different ways of contacting the server.

And it's not a text field either. It gets broken up into multiple pieces and each piece is used in a different part of the conversation with the server. And on top of that you need to understand the format to even figure out which server to talk to.

Would you mind expanding in this a bit? I think it's really interesting.
Yep, you're absolutely right. I was making overly broad strokes.
No, and your accusation that I'm "just being difficult" is starting to piss me off. I think you're a short-sighted, self-centered, argumentative, nihilistic, and stubborn little annoyance -- but I didn't yet disrespect you enough to say so.

Look, requiring a guarantee that such a disaster cannot occur is exactly the opposite of placing a value on disaster. It is in effect saying, "If this disaster cannot be impossible, then it is not worth it." I prefaced that guarantee with the word "near" because I pragmatically don't believe there's such a thing as a complete and total guarantee. In the case of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, there were maintenance schedules, safety checks, inspections, safety valves, backup valves for the safety valves, and so on and so forth, and every single one of those failed.

Shit happens sometimes, and that has nothing to do with placing a dollar amount on anything.

Tell ya what: if you can't see values or costs in things like this without putting a dollar sign in front, then -- OK, sure, I will readily agree to a formula for calculating dollar value that should make you quite happy. Are you ready? It's this: the cost of a disaster is the dollar amount required to reverse all of the effects of the disaster.

Lemme know when you've finished totaling that one up on your calculator.

Résumé/CV: https://www.artfulmedium.com/2021-work

Email: greg.cerveny@gmail.com

My recent work has been in new music technology developing iOS apps and interactive web applications for musical expression and performance.

I've also been prototyping products in the creative NFT space through interactive projects.

I'm interested in anything creative that allows people to connect, immerse, or express themselves.

I've got a lot of experience with startups by being an early employee, incubating with Techstars and StartX, and co-founding two of my own.
Here is something I came up with last time thread like this was around:

While writing this I though of algorithm that might work better to maximize amount of civilizations you reach. This would require a relatively stable space transmitter, or series of coordinated ground transmitters:

1. Pick a set of stars S that potentially can support advanced civilization and are located closely in a region of space (so you do not have to reposition telescope a lot).

2. Start sending signals primer signals to stars. For signal S[x], temporal difference between S[x] and S[x+1] would a set amount shorter than temporal distance between S[x-1] and S[x]. Primer signals are short and cheap, transmitting entire Wikipedia should take way longer (Weeks, months, maybe years?).

3. Once time between primer signals reaches some threshold start transmitting data set.

Idea is that this will give advanced civilization potentially listening a chance to prepare to receive full transmission, while avoiding costly repeats of big data set.
No offense to your friend in DC, but she's obviously not a criminal lawyer.

The rest of Rule 41 (of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure) still applies. It has about 5 pages of detail about how to get a warrant, what the process is, what the standards are, etc. All this does is change the location where a judge may issue a warrant.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_41

Flip through the rest of Rule 41. Then look at the decades (centuries?) of caselaw about warrants.
wouldn't say simple is the opposite of complex though? especially when talking about software systems or other systems in general. what i am thinking is that some complex systems can be made of very simple components.

the best example is our complex brain being made of simpler components working together. maybe the opposite of complex is chaotic? i don't know...
The fact you sit higher and the extra visibility that gives on the road is indeed a huge plus. Car salesman told me "everyone's ditching estates for crossovers nowadays" and almost every brand makes one.
I think the confusion around simplicity is in what terms a thing is simple.

For example, 2 pieces of text can be simple in 2 different ways:

First text is long but uses fewer words in vocabulary. So it is "simple" in a sense you need to learn only few words to read it.

Second text is short but uses richer vocabulary to describe things with fewer words (syntactic sugar). It is "simple" in a sense you only need few words to describe stuff, but more "complicated" because you need to learn more words.

"Neat" code can be "simple" to maintain. "Messy" code can be "simple" to implement.
An astonishing cascade of irony, isn't it.
Generally, Googles infrastructure is so unlike existing opensource systems that even if you had the sourcecode in-hand, the effort required to get it compiling and running while re-implementing all dependencies would be almost as much as starting from scratch.

The opensourcing of Bazel and absl:: is a big start - but there are a lot of core Java libraries you'd be missing, and all the loadbalancing, identity, config and storage systems would all need shims to slightly-incompatible opensource solutions.
The hard part is finding "investors" who are happy to keep buying your bonds while you run a massive cash burn. Anyone can run a "successful" business as long as the supply of other people's money holds out.
So it's wrong not because it's political but because it's "generic"? Or because you believe it's a poor argument? Those aren't against HN guidelines. "Political flamebait" seems to involve in no small part disagreement withtm the majority.
For me this appears to be the wrong combination of a solution and a problem.

The problem is tech churn, versions are obsolete faster than you can download the packages and the whole ecosystem moves way to fast.

The solution is to choose simple and stable solutions. Build a shell script, use low-churn technologies, etc.
Yeah, this is definitely happening. They need to dominate your life to pretend their job has purpose.
This is a rehash of the referenced wired article, which itself is much older (1997).

Hopefully he managed to get social welfare payments since then.
“suss” is also derived from the word “suspect”/“suspicious”. Suspicere means “to mistrust”.
i tried to use nextcloud for a good two years

the mobile app is crucial to me and its search and performance let me down when the car broke down and the time i needed it at the most at the hospital

i wish it was the not this way i really do
To contextualize this, check out Seymour Papert's work on LOGO, especially teams of kids working together to solve problems. Some of this is also related to Alan Kay's work. It's all inspiring, and shows that there may be many ways to compute.
I'm sure there have been chickens that lived to 12 years old, but most breeds I know of live 5-8 years. Saying that chickens live for up to 12 years is like saying humans live up to 130 years. Yes, it happens, but the majority die in what, their 70's or 80's?

I'm not sure what you want to do about roosters. I'd be willing to bet most male jungle fowl die young in the wild too due to lack of flock protection and battles for territory and mates. A more humane way to kill them would be better, but the fact that they don't go to some farm somewhere that somehow has space to keep them more or less separated as they generally don't get along with other roosters is kind of just a fact of life. That would be quite the lonely life when you think about it too. The same way breeding stallions are often miserable and starved for equine interaction.
Please don't make me login with facebook. I do have a facebook account but I don't feel comfortable using Facebook connect (like many others).

I won't mind twitter or plain old OpenId though.

Yes, if you use an elastic cloud, by all means, spin more instances :-) Most existing companies still have real servers however.
Just like Wired Magazine, he does not explain why they don't address Lamo's claims not found in the logs released so far.
I wonder how they managed to launch "several thousand more mega-supernodes through the night".

I assume they can't turn regular Skype nodes into supernodes because they must be reachable from a public IP address.

Where they using a cloud computer provider such as EC2?
When you made the book free, did you not get any backlash from people who'd already bought it? Any thoughts on how a similar strategy would work for software?
Adam Curtis made a very interesting film on this.

Looks very nice. Do the 365 days start from when you sign up and pay or is it from Jan 1st 2011?
They have jurisdiction over trading of securities, which shares of private companies are... The Securities Exchange Act regulates the general-public trade in securities and amendments have extended the SECs mandate to include OTC trades as well as regulate companies that aren't listed on exchanges.
Cat5 has a max throughput of 100mbps. 802.11g wifi (probably what you're using) has a max throughput of 54mbps.

Either buy a Cat5e/Cat6 cable or change your wifi access point to use 802.11n. I am connected to my 2007 Airport Extreme at 300mbps right now using 802.11n.
Haha...you know enough to know that BIND has tremendous market share. It may not be the best name server, but it's definitely the most popular. Why not help 65%+ of name server administrators with specific advice?
This arguably happens in every context. What keeps these "integrated" devices useful is the (hopefully) open nature of the software running them. A TV that supports open web standards will last a helluva lot longer than one that supports a vendor standard abandoned after a couple of years.

In other words, a TV that also plays online video is great as long as there's an open, standardized method of delivering it.
Except for that immensely popular linux distribution Android. Netflix and Amazon have no problem streaming to those devices.
most of PoW is not used for consensus, but for distribution, to use PoS for consensus with PoW for distribution is exactly as ridiculus as PoW
“Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection.”
Haha. Missed this the 2nd time.
I've been using Firefox for a long time (first in its "Camino" guise), but I've never noticed.
A quick google search show that diagnosis rates in Europe are only half the USA. That’s not that big a gap, and easily explained by cultural and institutional differences.

For example, a lot of parents do not treat their ADHD kids with medication. However getting the diagnoses allows for the kid to get an Individualized Educational Plan setup with their school district that makes exceptions to cater for their needs, like special counseling services. A medical diagnosis of ADHD, especially if untreated, is how you get into these special programs.
Yeah, I started at Google in early 2006 and definitely remember using the awful Oracle Calendar product for all calendaring. I know because I set up a calendar entry in Oracle Calendar for the day in 2015 that Back to the Future takes place...only to have to create it again once we moved to Google Calendar.

Re: finance, I remember using Oracle iExpense around the same time for business expenses and then at some point a couple years later we switched to another company's product. I don't think it lasted until the Pichette days, though...I'm almost certain it was replaced during Reyes' tenure as CFO and before Pichette got installed around 2008.
Why can't it be both?

Bitwarden is open-source (both the server and clients) AND has been independently audited for a security review.
How do you link hand sanitizer to Maxwell and Epstein?
I'm told some really fancy restaurants would not show the prices on the rational that "if you need to know the price, then it's too expensive for you"

Well, I think the same point can be made here: if you need a price cap, then AWS is too expensive for you ;)
I see another reply has pointed out that Myers-Briggs type model is a flawed model, and has long been known to be flawed. I'll supply some references here because another reader asked for references.

"Overall, the review committee concluded that the MBTI has not demonstrated adequate validity although its popularity and use has been steadily increasing. The National Academy of Sciences review committee concluded that: 'at this time, there is not sufficient, well-designed research to justify the use of the MBTI in career counseling programs,' the very thing that it is most often used for."

"Now, 50 years after the first time anyone paid money for the test, the Myers-Briggs legacy is reaching the end of the family line. The youngest heirs don’t want it. And it’s not clear whether organizations should, either.

. . . .

"Yet despite its widespread use and vast financial success, and although it was derived from the work of Carl Jung, one of the most famous psychologists of the 20th century, the test is highly questioned by the scientific community."

Do you know of any other TDD MOOCs out there? It's my preferred learning method.
Thanks!
I would say so yes, something else that captures the same idea but isn't named gitcuss.
If it was biotech, the answer to that question is probably, "you", nih grants at a university, or an SBIR, from some government entity.
Every time I see this article come up in some form or another (this is the fourth re-run or so) I am amazed at the durability of lego. I still have a bunch of it from the 1960's (hand downs from one of my many uncles).

It still fits, is of the older formulation so faded a bit.

It also is nice to put into perspective the fact that if this stuff is indeed this durable and the lego factories output as much of it as they do every year that at some point there must be a natural equilibrium reached at which you couldn't sell lego if your life depended on it because it will be everywhere. I've never heard of someone tossing lego in a landfill, but I've seen it be passed through over 3 generations and counting.
Thank you for this analysis I believe it's making my case more clear.
Taking it would likely change him in undesirable ways for a net negative effect on happiness.
Did they actually expect to raise 32 million dollars? None the less for a $700 smart phone...
Bits of the business are being replaced slowly. But a lot of it is essentially sales which is harder to replace. Profit margins are extremely high. Best to build a replacement externally that is not very good then improve it. Don't underestimate the regulation though which is anticompetitive too.
We wanted to keep the clocks out of the picture. This I must admit, is a little unfair, because having the ability to run at higher clocks is indeed a capability of the CPU, which cannot be discounted. In this case I compared a Cortex-A15 Vs an Core i3. The A15s can run at max 2GHz I think. While the Core i3 cores can run upto 3GHz. However ARM has Cortex A57 coming along, which I believe will have similar performance to the A15 and will be able to run at higher clocks too. Of course we need to wait for the A57 to appear on an actual SOC and measure it, before we can truly make that claim.
People always focus on the instruction set -- "ARM's fixed length instructions are easy to decode, so it will win in the long run" -- ignoring how decoding is a tiny fraction of a CPU's silicon and power budget. Memory controllers, pipelining, and efficient superscalar instruction dispatch have far more effect, and Intel has a large lead on ARM in these areas.
That's maybe why I can't even load it. I thought perhaps it was my work proxy.
And let's not forget that there's also a small linux desktop distro called Ubuntu. Maybe they could try and improve that? But that's just crazy right? Who still uses a laptop these days? Nobody!
You need to start looking for alternatives because they put out a slightly more advanced version only available to subscribers?
