In other words... You're trying to get people that already eat meat to eat fake meat instead of people that already eat fake meat?
I don't see why you would target a different audience.
There are some benefits to meat that will take a little more work to replicate in a lab concoction. I, personally, would prefer eating something that once lived than eating lab made imitation... I also don't like when something says it's fruit but it's really somehing fake or foods that are mislabeled.

Error and warning messages are not status or progress messages, at least not in the context of this discussions, which is that a long-running computation should indicate to the user that it's doing something.
I love the depiction of Brunel as some kind of 19th century steampunk Wolverine. And those badass boasts! Some of them based on real historical boasts! "I smell... steam!" "Looks like you need an engineer." "With all the steam I can command, your ladyship." I hope the mythology around these characters keeps on growing.
Are there other examples of an open-source community project taking on several million dollars in venture capital funding? It seems a bit odd to me.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable using a presumably open-source, free (beer and speech) tool knowing that the group behind it will have to find a way to monetize their users in order to justify the investment from VCs at some point down the road. Open-source developers should of course be able to be compensated for their work, and the project has to find a way to sustain itself (I work for a company whose main product is open-source so I know this better than most), but the venture capital model doesn't seem like a good fit with the interests of the community, in my opinion.

That said, Serverless is a great tool, and congrats on the 1.0. Thanks to the team for their hard work.
Most stations have stairs next to the escalator. If you're worried about your personal latency, use the stairs. You can even run up (or down).
I'm not sure these are as destabilizing as the article makes them sound. If Russia and China didn't already have the capability of destroying US carrier battle groups, I could see the sense in the argument, but Moskits are cheap, capable of Mach 3, and easily able to swamp antimissile defenses when launched en masse. (And they can carry a nuclear payload, too, not that it's likely they would in such a scenario, nor would they need to.)

Thanks Miguel. We're going to release more about our plans for the next steps in the Framework soon. I'm currently writing those and will share with the community in the very near future (CTO of Serverless here)
I tried libre on OS X (it's on Homebrew), the binary is around half the size of the equivalent OpenSSL release. Kudos to Libre for stripping out so much junk - OSs that people don't use and ciphers that people shouldn't be using - and producing a more auditable sensible codebase.
Even with the best intentions and technology they will inevitably make mistakes. Unless they have a resolution process of any kind (and it seems they don't) they are crushing innocent people.

How has LibreSSL stood up lately to the relatively frequent CVEs in OpenSSL the past few months? I know the initial months were a frenzy of removing garbage and classes of problems (#yadf) that preempted a few CVEs, but I haven't been paying attention to the commit logs to know if it was also susceptible to them.
"SQL Server that you can't do with Postgresql"

I'm not sure that's really a great comparison (and I really like PostgreSQL) - SQL Server is really a family of products that all depend on the database server component of SQL Server (SSAS, SSIS, SSRS) and that comes with easy integration with lots of applications from Microsoft (e.g. the Dynamics CRM and ERP products) as well as hundreds of 3rd party products.
> Imagine you have a bot that convincingly passes the Turing test - what would you do with it?

Spambot. Contact someone over chat services, start an interesting conversation, then subtly promote a product.

More seriously, interview bots. Talk to people and ask them questions, turn them into a coherent whole. Let the elderly talk about their lives and record their stories, let people who have some problem they need solved talk about it so it can be turned into a succinct description, and so on.

Of course, it depends on whether hypothetical Turing test passing computers can do that. Let's just assume we'll ask contestants in a Turing test to do those things, then we know the winners can.

A chat bot that passes the Turing test is limited by whatever programming got it to that point.
Thanks, appreciate the shoutout!

There certainly are other open source tools like ansible, Chef, Puppet, Hashicorp, MongoDB (and many more) that have started out as an Open Source project and are still OSS champions.

We have many plans for monetisation and are working closely with small to enterprise scale companies on building products and services around the Framework that help you once your infrastructure has reached a large scale. More info to come in the future.

Or just get rid of escalators entirely.

I'm guessing you haven't used London's tube much :)

Many of the stations are very deep - the equivalent of a 15 storey building. Changing to stairs would certainly lower throughput because that's a really long climb.
It's not really "dropping" them - they're in orbit and already not falling. You'd need to fire them backwards with a rocket engine (or railgun?) to deorbit. At that point, why not just fire them as a ballistic missile?
My read of the PM isn't that the intelligence is godlike. Only that it is very good at achieving its stated goal, and lacks a negative feedback control.

On a related theme, I've been kicking around an ontology of technological mechanisms,[1] one element of which is control systems. It's somewhat underappreciated that what made complex and/or highly-scaled systems possible in many cases were systems for either regulating or mitigating processes or discrepencies between parts of systems.

Swingletrees for draught teams, Watt's governor, for his steam engine (and additional tweaking to damp down oscillation tendencies), infrared temperature sensing and gas chromatography in steelmaking.

We figure out how to make a thing go, then we figure out how to make it go where we want.

Even high-speed rail was a bit more about quality control (rail and roadbed specification) and control (wheel truck hunting, pantograph-commutator interactions) than dumping gobs of energy into a rail-wheel system.

The NLRA also provides protection for certain political activity.

While some states do not provide protection for political activity at the workplace it doesn't mean that discriminatory actions for political activity are legal, in some states there are also specific protections for election years.

And yeah the whole US "at will" thing is an issue on it's own, the fact that this is the law of the land is pretty absurd to me.
> What makes you think you have a right to demand federation? Run your own server if you don't like how they're doing it.

Because Moxie claims he wants to change mainstream communication?

You don't revolutionise mainstream communication by fragmenting your user base even more.

If every fork did what Moxie suggested, and create a completely new network, then soon there will be only a handful of users per network at all.

And users will just go back to Facebook or WhatsApp.

The claimed aim of Moxie is that everyone uses the same, partially safe, chat system.

The only merit Signal has over XMPP is that it aims to be used by everyone, including your grandma, trading adoption vs safety.

If that is the aim, you have to ensure it also is 100% compatible.

If you directly suggest to fragment the userbase, you are destroying the one single merit Signal has over XMPP with OMEMO.

Because then it becomes just another protocol for crypto nerds (and a worse one, in fact, considering the inclusion of Google code).

So, explain to me, how is fragmenting the userbase in any way conductive to the claimed aim?
Can you elaborate?

I'm pretty in favour of open borders as an immigrant myself but that statement could do with some supporting evidence.
Or robots? Or just the same production per person with a smaller number of people?
I hope LibreSSL gets the traction it needs in the coming months or years. There are great wins using it and it is worth to move over the FOSS stack to use LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL and reduce the number security bugs we are facing today.
This is fine, there is a market for that like anything else. The problem is where that is not a function the consumer is aware off at the time of purchase.

Faster reaction time, less obvious launch, and ability to attack from any direction (not just the direction that your bases and submarines happen to be in). There were also proposals to just launch nuclear warheads into orbit, for deorbiting in case of war, but they were banned by treaty because they were considered too destabilizing - as were partial orbital weapons, which just went into orbit for long enough to attack from unusual directions.
This may be true for TFL, but like they say, the results depend on people's willingness to walk, and desire for personal space.

At peak hours/stations in the Seoul subway system, standing only would be a disaster. There are more than enough people willing to walk to completely fill the left side of the escalator. Everyone keeps up a steady walking pace while being essentially 1 person per step, so I'd guess it's at least a 30% improvement in throughput.
Kinda disappointed that Puke Data isn't interactive. ;- )
Show HN: OverSight by objective-see
The whole point of Signal is that it trades a little bit of security away, and in turn you get something everyone can use.

If you fragment the user base, you throw exactly that away.

Because no user is going to be willing to install 20 Signal forks to talk to all their friends.

So, in practice, Signal is either at most visible source, or it's actually destructive to the average person's message security.

The only advantage Signal has over XMPP with OMEMO is the "everyone can use it, just works, everyone uses the same version" part.
Scala is dead, long live Scala
As far as I know, you can't trivially decrypt traffic as a passive observer, even if you have the private key of the website or the CA. The sides still perform key exchange using something like Diffie-Hellman. The asymmetric keys are used to verify that you're performing the key exchange with the real server and not with a MITM.

If you have the CA's private you must sign your own fake certificate and MITM the connection with the fake certificate. In this case, as you pointed out, Certificate Transparency does help because the fake certificate won't be present in the certificate logs.
I used a Wemos D1 Mini and a relay shield for this. Soldered leads to the physical button inside my garage and connected that to the relay. Toggling the relay on then off is now equivalent to pressing the button. There is an outlet next to the garage door button, so the project is powered via a USB plug and a short micro USB cable. It runs a firmware that emulates Belmont WeMo (which is really UPnP) so my Amazon Echo recognizes it. Viola! A voice controlled garage door.

I have yet to install the reed switch on the door so the thing is smart enough to actually open and close and not just emulate button pressses.

I don't trust this setup to control mains power (look up Sonoff devices for that), but the garage opener is 12 V so I feel ok about not setting things on fire with that.

Edamame beans are steamed, hence heat treated.

Soy milk did not became widely adopted in Asia until they started boiling it, again heat treating.

The health effects of soy aren't well enough understood to say eating it has "pretty bad health effects". Some studies indicate it has positive health impact, even while some studies of specific things found in soy (and some theories about some specific things found in soy that don't have a lot of evidence to back them up, but they sound good). I think we should consider soy a suspect ingredient, but not an indicted one. I don't eat a lot of it, but I don't go far out of my way to avoid it, either.

There's just too much history of soy consumption in Japan, and too much evidence indicating that Japanese people who eat soy have longer/healthier lives than those who never eat soy, that I think there's some stuff we just don't understand about it yet...making it more complicated than simple ingredients like simple sugars (that we know are generally bad) or fiber (that we know is generally good).

I've gone back and forth on avoiding soy; these days I do prefer it fermented, but I'll eat non-fermented soy foods now and then without feeling like I'm taking a big health risk.

Anyway, I don't necessarily disagree strongly with you, and there's probably a good argument that you should prefer fermented soy foods. But, I think the science is up in the air enough to make me think maybe the "smoking" gun really isn't.

Also, black beans, and some other kinds of beans that are commonly consumed whole and without being fermented, contain more of some of the stuff that allegedly makes soy bad for you. So, if you're cutting out soy for those reasons, you also have to cut out black beans, among others. That doesn't feel like a good choice, to me...since those beans have so many healthy characteristics.

This. Systems Thinking teaches us that optimising a small part of the system (walking up the escalators) can have unintended consequences (bottlenecks/queues elsewhere) that result in the time through the whole system to be slower.

I don't eat raw black beans either in large amounts ;)

No issues with eating some soy, the issue is using soy as a food replacement for dairy, meat and wheat which results in consuming very large amounts of it.

Also non-fermented soy products in Asia are also treated either with heat or chemically (acid, salts, enzymes) which reduces the amount of the risky stuff and are more safer for consumption.

The problem in the west/mass produced food is where raw soy is used as a filler/replacement ingredient without proper consideration for pretreatment.

Also FYI traditional chinese and japanese soy milk is boiled (for a fairly lenghty duration upto 30 min) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_milk, some western brands are not, an easy test to know if it was heat treated or not is to check how much does it foam, if it foams excessively it's likely unboiled cold pressed milk (tho silicone (e is intentional) might have been added as an anti-foaming agent, so in doubt heat it up for 10 min).
I'm a big supporter of PostGRES, and I think you should use it wherever possible. BUT: MSSQL is not that expensive. To compare apples to apples, you need to compare it to EnterpriseDB. EnterpriseDB is slightly cheaper than MSSQL, but not a lot cheaper. They're both so much cheaper than Oracle that the difference is negligible in comparison.

I am a former Mac user and bought a Chromebook 2 years ago and never looked back. The Macbook had served its purpose for so long, and I had it since 2009, but no matter what I did, it was still running slow. Chromebooks were insanely faster. In the beginning, I enabled Developer Mode, installed Linux, and was relying heavily on a lot of the features that Linux had to offer, but Chromebooks pretty much have everything they need, in the form of extensions or websites that exist to perform a specific functionality, so there's a workaround for everyone. I got the T-Mobile-enabled one so I can travel anywhere with it. Love it and don't think I'll be switching to any other computer again anytime soon.
Maybe including dependent switches to enable/disable different parts of shown information? For example just "--help" would show a short description and the existing switches for further debriefing. Then you'll have to type "--help --commands" for showing a list of commands and description in one or two words, or "--help --examples" to show a whole lot of examples, and so on.
I'm glad that VoidLinux isn't anymore the only distro in town that's switched to LibreSSL. And with Docker defaulting to Alpine, more OpenSSL/LibreSSL compatibility fixes will trickle into upstream projects. This is good news.

EDIT: Next, I predict a linux distro will, after having switched to musl, also support llvm/compiler-rt/libunwind/libc++ as base toolchain instead of gcc/libgcc/libstdc++
