But letting people do what they want with their own body is an attack on those opinions and so they must be stopped.

Psychology, with differing opinions and such you react the same way as if it were a physical attack. The brain simply can't tell the difference. Hence people do this. People can't just agree to disagree and move on. People will pick at the differing opinions like a chicken. Doesn't matter how many people they hurt as long as they get what they want. Whine, nag, violence, etc. Suddenly I started thinking of feminism.

Human is a disgusting egoistical selfish animal. Expecting any kind of standard is naive and foolish.

Related but off topic:
The legal-system is filled with laws that reflect certain peoples opinion.

The government act as if they own our bodies yet we don't see a penny for the rental and when we try and say "no" they use brute force to enforce its will. Quite barbaric. If you don't have brute force backing you up than you aren't recognized as a country for example. I can say I own the moon but if I don't have brute force backing me up then I'm just a joke. Hence as a person you have no say what so ever, you're irrelevant. So why do we have a comment section? Just to distract us from actually doing something productive and affect the world? Conspiracy?

Sorry my mind wanders. Never could get the leash to work.

Nvidia  Unveils GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: Available Week of March 5th for $699
Cool, so you say it has USB 2/3, HDMI video, audio in/out, and Ethernet compatible with standard equipment, and without the need for dongles, that's awesome! I'll buy one tomorrow at the Apple store right after I confirm that you are telling the truth.
Microsoft is not just Windows, some mobile devices and more importantly the XBox as well. On Windows, the GPU makers can (and do, at least partially/beta) provide drivers with Vulkan support, yes.

At this point we should be thinking bigger and saying something like "by 2025 all new cars must not fill up at all because they must not use carbon-emitting fuel".
I actually enjoyed the research bits, and the partial justifications from various manufacturers. Their rationale was interesting even if inconsistent.

I'm also against these sort of "click saving" summaries. What's next? Two star-crossed lovers commit suicide, someone climbs mountain and makes it down ok ... Sometimes the journey or narrative is interesting even if the outcome is not extraordinary.

Issues it would be helpful to unbundle when talking about capitalism:

Contract law. "Capitalism" here usually means private voluntary agreements are very sacred or absolutely sacred.

Property law. "Capitalism" here usually means a rule of first possession.

Tax law. "Capitalism" here usually means a presumption against taxation, especially if redistributive in purpose.

Limited liability. "Capitalism" here usually means possibility of absentee investors.

Fiduciary duties. "Capitalism" here usually means duty to maximize shareholders' economic value.

Antitrust law. "Capitalism" here, as term is used by self-perceived opponents, usually refers to corporate bigness.

Etc.

Was Thomas Jefferson capitalist? He hated bigness in all forms.

Was Thomas Paine capitalist? He thought rule of first possession was useful because easy to administer but proposed something akin to universal basic income.

Important to be clear, as many others have noted in the comments.
As the article says, its on par with rabies, which isn't nothing. It happens to occur mostly in poor areas, without adequate health resources, so we don't hear as much about it. The limited antibiotics it responds to is the most concerning part.
That still sounds like you need downtime for cert renewals. I personally keep HAproxy bound to 80/443 and use rules in it to send the http/dns-sni verification checks from LE to certbot in standalone mode.

I still don't understand what docker is giving you here though. nodejs and haproxy run on more platforms and a wider range of linux kernels than docker. You could 'plop the whole thing' onto many more servers if it was just nodejs and haproxy than you can like this.
I understand this proposal as suggesting to build an API that can be implemented efficiently on top of the vendor-specific APIs, without the vendors doing anything. E.g. similar to how the ANGLE library offers OpenGL on top of Direct3D APIs, for Windows PCs without/with bad OpenGL support.

Which given WHO data, means that you should be much more fearful of "Cirrhosis due to alcohol use" than anything to do with the disease in question.

I think we can best summarize it by saying... it sucks if you get it, and if you're traveling to an area where it's know to be more common you should be mindful of it... but you shouldn't lose sleep over it otherwise. Or as you said... clickbait title.

Looks like its not a first choice for weaponizing either (thought it's not a completely unsuitable one either).

Just to clarify a bit:

I do think OTT is going to win out in the long run. But that's really just the underlying technology.

The tough part is getting rid of the bundle. I'm not so sure that'll happen, although I really hope it does.

All of these giant media companies would much rather sell you 10 channels for $20 than a single channel for $5.

If a la carte starts happening in a serious way, it's going to be a huge win for consumers. But almost nobody on the other side really wants it. They're going to fight tooth and nail to keep the bundles.

"The cult of the founder came from a good place-- many VCs did overreach in the late 1990s and treated founders like shit. Mark Zuckerberg has proven that a 21-year-old kid doesn’t need a grown up CEO to run his company. But that doesn’t mean that founders are gods who should never be challenged."

Great observation and even-handed. Founders are inexperienced and need a lot of guidance to over-come their deficiencies. This comes with time and prudent advice. That is if founders are capable of taking it.

While trying to be vague, I can say the tobacco industry is ready to profit off of marijuana legalization. They have lots of stuff ready to go, but not public. In the meantime, however, they are more than happy to continue raking in their current profits and not rocking the boat.
Just out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to come up with this PoC? From the initial notice that something might be exploitable until you sent the email to slack?

Your post makes it look so easy, but it would surely take weeks for me to figure out all these things.
if i understand this correctly it's a pretty big achievement on the way to being able to replicate any persons voice in the future given enough audio samples. Amazing.
Similarly i have seen lip movement (talking) be replicated using machine learning. Having completely artificial (or even real) identities saying whatever you want them to on video is not that far off i guess (simpler than general AI or even fully self driving cars), which is both amazing and terrifying.
I would strongly suggest to read the book "Building Microservices" by Sam Newman. He gave fair good description of what it is and what are the considerations you need to think when build it.

That doesn't make any sense. If the rich hoard money the velocity of money goes down, and that causes the value to go down too.

As "mechanism to prevent hoarding" by the rich it's pretty shitty. The rich know how to protect their net worth from devaluating currency (e.g. real estate), and can more easily partake in leveraged investment vehicles which would not be possible with higher interest rates and non-inflationary base currency. You don't see the guy on the tenderloin buying leveraged etfs. For that matter neither does the middle class, who mostly are locked into managed find situations which provide low yield (if you look through to trough, the real value of the stock market has been static for 25 years)
> think the goal of most philosphers is to build compelling systems within which their apostles may do work, or practice rigor.

That may or may not be what the modern philosopher's goal is, but I don't think it's fair to say, unequivocally, this was always philosophy's goal all along—or at the very least, such a claim is contested/disputed.

For example, Rorty [1] made the point that philosophy, as an epistemological enterprise that grounds the foundations of other sciences & give them credibility, really found it's start in the early modern philosophers, with their attempt to carve out a place for science inside dominant the religious world.

(At this point philosophy was continuous with the sciences.)

And then continuing w/ Descartes, Locke & Kant, to this version of philosophy which is no longer continuous with science, but rather playing this special epistemological role.

Is writing snarky, content-free annotation websites making fun of people who need help here "laughing at ourselves?"

This n-gate author is just another person in tech who things "this is wrong" is more valuable than "this is more correct." In the same vein as "shit HN says", it's just taking cheap shots. It's the tech equivalent of watching Dr. Phil and going, "Gosh at least that's not my life." It's the kind of mentality that claps when Linus Torvalds cusses someone out for reminding him he made his own bed with SHA1.

I did stop contributing here for years was the utter frustration at how casual and horrifying things uttered were protected as "discourse" but any counter to them was "being uncivil." But ultimately I stay because I genuinely like to help people with tech and like to tell people who bring Reddit in here to go back to that crappy smugfest (or perhaps head to less orange pastures).

That's interesting; I hadn't thought of that.
Serious question, while I know the term "virtue signaling" is somewhat contentious, I've never heard any critiques of it in terms of racist code talk so I'm unsure what you're getting at.

I'm not up to date on the whole Pewdiepie thing, aside from the general impression I get of him being an ass and now rightfully suffering the consequences of his actions, and if paying non-English speakers to hold up Nazi propaganda is indeed viewed as satire by the broader Youtube community, than I would agree that is unfortunate, and pretty unfunny to boot.

Regarding reddit gold, I've had a reddit account for a few years now but the only subs I subscribe to are r/welding, r/cableporn, and r/machinists. I have earned exactly zero reddit gold so far, perhaps I'm not as witty as I think?

My apologies to you if my previous comment was unfunny or out of bounds. It was an attempt on my part to lightheartedly poke fun of HN users who tend to take things overly seriously. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have commented at all.

Now that the cats out of the bag though, as a biracial non-white immigrant to the US who grew up well below the poverty line, I find it somewhat funny to be accused of being a closet racist by a poster, whom from what I can gather, seems to be a rather rich privileged white dude living in SV. It's almost like the satire writes itself. I'd probably level the term "virtue signaling" against what's going on here, but, I don't again want to be accused of being a racist by some random white dude.
Could you recommend what products specifically help you the most? I've had chronic neck and back pain for years. Smoking marijuana actually tends to make it worse, but I haven't experimented with specific strains, ingestion methods, etc.
Of course. Similarly, I doubt Adobe intend for Flash to replace entire websites with over-animated single page apps with terrible usability, but that's how many websites used Flash In the late 90s.

Yes, well-designed sites will use WebAssembly in other more reasonable ways. Entirely separate from that are the websites that try to disable the right-click context menu to "protect" images, and the businesses that are watching there revenue disappear with the rise in adblocking. Some businesses will - often foolishly - use all available means to "protect their content", so that's how they will use WebAssembly.
The ad skipping sounds just for the DVR. Which is fine for shows you don't need to see live, but you're not doing it for sports or first-run content (what would you even be skipping to?).

Doubtful, outside of single-household sharing; I'd be very surprised if they got to avoid the contractual terms that limit your ability to share a PS Vue account in the same way - you have to activate a "home device" to anchor the account and regularly using six different devices in different locations would probably trigger some sort of fraud check.
Simplest way would probably be to set up a box on the local network to act as a router, then use the usual tools.

Airflow. This framework is used by numerous companies and several of the biggest unicorns — Spotify, Lyft, Airbnb, Stripe, and others to power data engineering at massive scale.

Is that correct? I've been using (and enjoying) Luigi[1] which came out of Spotify. I haven't seen anything about them switching to Airflow.

Edit: Now I see in the interview there is this:

About Luigi, it is simpler in scope than Airflow, and perhaps we’re more complementary than competition. From what I gather, the main maintainer of the product has left Spotify and apparently they are now using Airflow internally for [at least] some of their use cases. I do not have the full story here and would like to hear more about it. I’m thinking that many of the companies choosing Luigi today might also choose Airflow later as they develop the need for the extra set of features that Airflow offers.

But there are 2 day old commits in the Luigi directory, so I don't know. I like Airflow too, but it did seems a lot more complicated the Luigi when I played with it.

I'll paraphrase it because I can't remember how it went. Choose some interest/activity aside from your career and commit to pursue it for the rest of your life. Such a sustained effort will one day prove to be of immense value. If you don't make your choice right now, you never will. I didn't, and I didn't, and at the age of 70 how I wish I had.
Maybe because they can't remember which side their wife's car fuel filler is on and know it doesn't matter at Costco (and they don't know about the arrow on the fuel gauge trick)

It's definitely worth promoting our own women in STEM and giving them an opportunity with the imprimatur of the government.
While we should allow companies to hire foreign workers to fill skills voids where they provably exist there is no reason for us to underutilize the potential of our own workforce and part of that is getting women at the vanguard of STEM.

And I didn't say highway. But that's a very good point. Stroads are difficult to cross, but highways carve a city up and are mostly impossible to cross except for a few places per mile.

8 lanes may be a bit rare, but it's easy to find 7. 2 travel lanes in each direction, a turn median, and a parking lane on each side. I was just in SoCal and saw plenty of examples with three travel lanes in each direction, making 9+ lanes in many places!
In my experience the most effective agent for change is gratitude. Learning to be really thankful for the things that you value in your life, leads to giving them respect and leadership in your actions. I know that sounds waaaaay over the top but in my experience it has been the only way to get past emotional blocks and to change effectively.

I don't think most marijuana smokers are going to want to bother growing their own marijuana any more than cigarette smokers bother to grow their own tobacco.

People are also very attracted to brands and swayed by marketing.

I don't doubt for an instant that the marijuana industry is going to be gigantic if it ever becomes fully legal in the US.
