If I were an intelligence agency or signal intelligence, I might argue for this so that I can narrow my attacks to one cipher. Perhaps the mafia or cartel would benefit from this. I can't imagine any other rational to argue for standardizing on a single cipher.
Reading about how people cope after being displaced by a natural disaster felt so different than reading about people voluntarily abandoning their homes to form communes. The latter shuns authority, while the former actively seeks it.

I was a total noob at this, and started setting up a kube cluster on 10th of May, and I managed to set up a working cluster by the middle of the week. It’s actually not as complicated as expected.

I still agree with you, because no one should take setting up and running kube lightly – it’s actually a lot of work.
I think of it as similar to HTML vs CSS: words are the content, punctuation marks are an attempt to mark up a suggestion of how to present them. (Where I'm including whitespace in punctuation)
The storyline, and even the first picture do mirror a lot of doomsday/virus/zombie/etc plots. I'm sure that occurs to just about everyone that reads it.

A pointer to some credible source as to why it's not dangerous might be interesting.

Even being somewhat reasonable, scary things like prions do exist.
No it can't. It's technically impossible for a Rails app to utilize all cpu cores because of the GIL. You're confusing two different things: the web server and the actual Ruby app. The rails app is still limited by the GIL and, therefore, runs within a single process.
> Sorry to break your bubble a vm with this configuration+bandwidth will be $1000 or more.

But why would you buy a VM with this configuration? 32gb of RAM for two boxes, with two i7s that have 4 3.40ghz cores? Lots of people have the impression that cloud is more expensive than owning your own iron, and it probably is, but the difference is made a lot larger if you don't consider TCO and you make no effort to actually adapt your needs to the cloud. Cloud's economics are based around horizontal scaling and provisioning on-demand. If you're hosting in the cloud, you don't get two big machines like this, you shard your app over a bunch of cheap machines and you spin up more/bigger instances to meet peak demand. If you're buying cloud hosting but you go into it with "have everything we need to meet peak load running 24/7," of course it's going to cost you an arm and a leg.
The fundamental problem--vanity publications that will publish anything for money--persists in all fields these days.
Minio is very nice, but sadly it only allows one set of credentials – I’d have preferred being able to separate the access permissions of each service, but that’s not supported.
Anyone who builds accomplishments without building lasting and deep relationships with people around them has done something wrong in the process.

Early in life, I had a small amount of artistic success (music). Though I probably couldn't have gone big with it, I did enjoy some amount of regional fame. Hard work, definitely an accomplishment, and I built several friendships out of it that have lasted over two decades (as well as lots that did fade away in time).

Similar thing with a startup I cofounded several years ago--the problem we were solving had me out in the public eye for a while, and I ended up building friendships with lots more people...people I'm still friends with.

And you know, if not for the relationships I build, some of which turned into lasting friendships, I wouldn't have had the success in the first place.

Nothing goes anywhere in life without people around you, helping you out. If you don't treat those people as the most important part of whatever you're doing, you're doing it wrong.
Implementing CIFS (2004)
Those are actually (I think Fujitsu) Workstations. You should expect the same downtime you would expect from your own workstation if you were to use one at home. Maybe a bit less downtime since there would be less startups and the temperature differences would be smaller as well. Obviously, server grade hardware will perform and last longer under heavy loads.

I believe if you don't go with the Server auction thing, then you get quite new hardware. So I guess you would not really have to expect a lot of downtime. But as always, downtimes can happen. Always plan accordingly.

>In Chris Hayes' excellent book, Twilight of the Elites [1], he rejects meritocracy. Not only does he reject it in practice, for reasons like those I presented, but he also rejects it even in theory. He suggests that the idea of showering people with resources that show promise is an affront to the concept that every human being has fundamental value and that all should be invested in.

That's insane, why shouldn't how many resources people get be dependent on their potential value to society? Why shouldn't we reward people who are faster, smarter, stronger, more than their lesser peers? We're not all equal, we do not all have "fundamental value" (see: murderers, child rapists, people who seek to do you harm for their own benefit, etc), and it makes no sense to invest the same amount in everyone. You wouldn't call your stock broker and tell him to invest the same amount of money in every stock.

On another level, what sort of person can you really hope to aspire to if you have the same "fundamental value" as everyone else? If you don't yourself believe that you're smarter, or faster, or deserve more than everyone else because of your gifts, what reason do you have to ask for the resources to help you succeed better?

The concept that you shouldn't optimize for utility to society is so fundamentally silly that I can't believe anyone could seriously believe it.
There obviously are bad news that no one should consume (i.e. "fake news") but I'd argue there is no such thing as good news in the sense that every one should read them to become informed.

To enable the public to make informed decisions every individual should come to face with a random selection of sources on a daily basis so that echo chambers get reduced and a problem-solving mentality can come into being.

The problem - as you've stated - is indeed that all news websites want to maximize views/profits. This, for one thing, leads to market segmentation (echo chambers). For another thing, Hotelling's law is at work within each segment so that the news from your preferred sources are very similar. If CNN writes about Trump's tweet instead of mass starvation then chances are very high that it's the same with CBS.

Batch inserts usually increase throughput by reducing the number of write IOPS, fsyncs, etc. They usually aren't associated with a 10x _CPU_ savings, which is the finding here.

There are a million 'db best practices' you can go implement blindly, but the point is that this methodology – determining the bottlenecking resource and then profiling to determine exactly what is consuming it – will _reliably_ yield huge wins, whereas implementing 'best practices' on gut alone is a very inefficient way to improve performance.
Things like "super.tap" make me think I'm about to go on a wild goose chase.
Wow, thank you for creating this. I hope in the future the Android version will be available.
That doesn't sound like an issue though if you just need something cheap for now to just get going. You can keep in mind that it could fail any time and just plan around that (for now).
They have full control of that environment though. So they tested it on a few hundred devices, and by that exhausted all the possible configurations. And when all worked, they knew they have a pretty good indicator for successful deployment on all those millions of devices.
Don't start with "How", you'll most probably give up after some time. Always start with "Why?". If the "Why" part is a strong enough reason for you, you will find a way to accomplish it. If it's not, well, you'll find excuses and give up on it sooner or later !

Chridal is right though, there's lots of SQLi bugs on Hetzner. Not something you get on AWS or GCP.

The available mega influencers (Jenner and Gomez) are scarce. The dilution of brand image begins with conflicting brand associations with the same influencer. While reach is far and wide, at a great cost, the better approach would be to attach to lower level influencers that have smaller impact when their image begins to misalign with the brands. I have a hard time believing agencies haven't been utilizing multiple approaches to utilizing the varying influence across the spectrum instead of putting all their eggs in one basket with one mega influencer. I don't quite understand the point of the article and how the utility of influencers could collapse? There will always be a new face to exploit, no?
> Fear that older machines would screw up.

Justified fear. 100% of the older machines I upgraded to Windows 10 stopped working in one way or another (e.g. Wifi didn't work, video drivers crashed) after upgrading.
"This is what irks me. I view git as high level and opinionated already,"

I've always found this very strange when it's creators don't feel the same way :)

It was built as a low level content addressable filesystem, it's own docs says they weren't even trying to pretend otherwise until version 1.5.

It's only relatively recently (in the scheme of things) it's tried to become higher level.
That is what hasn't been mentioned in this thread. Around half of the Win7 systems I get asked to look at never actually pull updates because it's stuck checking forever. This is due to a WSUS client bug. Fix used to be to take the system offline and instal 3 hotfixes... not user friendly or obvious so it doesn't ever get done by end user.

This wizard should fix it now: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_7-u...
I wish this anecdote were true, but I bet this is a rose-glasses thing where the metrics show things getting worse. While a minority of Americans might avoid Facebook, places like Fiji have been completely colonized where everyone has zero-rated Facebook on their mobile devices and so the development of anything outside Facebook has been sabotaged and Facebook is the new AOL with network effects destroying the potential for an open internet.
B.S. chemical engineer -> Ph.D. chemical engineer -> data scientist

The "working a lot" was mostly the last couple years of my Ph.D. where I would frequently pull all-nighters to finish everything I needed to, but I'm glad I did that now. It's not nearly the optimal path for rapid wealth accumulation, but it's a good balance between having work that I enjoy and having enough leftover time to work on startup projects and hang out with my family.
"The Microsoft model was:

1) Money from selling useful software that people buy

2) The web as an information source. Apps are actually software that is (paid for and) installed

3) The PC as hub for the user's digital Life"

That is not what got Microsoft where they were. Microsoft cut deals with monopoly and oligopoly providers to make their stuff defaults. They used all kinds of shady techniques to create network effects such as getting OEM's to use them by default instead of competition (consumers rarely switch). Then, their lockin due to obscure data formats and protocols made transitioning or interoperability very difficult. Like IBM and Oracle, they kept patenting things (artificial monopolies) to use to sue or force acquisitions of opponents. For open standards, they practiced "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish." These kind of techniques created a situation where customers were essentially forced to stay on or acquire their products to be part of the ecosystem which was 90% of the market or something. This got them billions of dollars plus a lot of antitrust action.

"Instead, with help from the DOJ, Microsoft lost, and now we have the Google model"

Microsoft is still one of the richest companies in existence along with IBM and Apple. These still use the old models (licensing software and suing w/ patents) plus offer stuff with the new model. It didn't go away due to regulation. There's tons of proprietary apps out there.

"1) Software and services given away as enticement for user data which is then sold to advertisers.

2) Primacy of the web app over installed apps."

Web primacy wasn't due to antitrust or anything like that. Web apps have no installation, work across devices (in theory), and update automatically. The reason native apps didn't is because of greedy companies in private sector fighting with each other more than helping each other. A regulation making a standard might have actually helped just because there would be a deployment target. The ad-driven model came from market demand where they consistently and massively chose ad-funded sites over stuff they paid for. This combined with VC money, copyright/patent monopolies, and sometimes Wall St requirements post-IPO created with private sector bribes to politicians turned that into new oligopolies of companies that are dominating certain areas such as search, email, e-commerce, payment, and social media.

So, a combination of foolish demand by markets, choices by VC's, founders wanting to be rich, CEO's doing as much monopolistic practice as possible, companies fighting instead of working on common ground, and corrupt politicians collectively led to this situation. It was improved a little bit on a few occasions by regulation but overall its impact pales in comparison to other factors.

Remember that the starting point for your comparison is Ruby. It's a great language, but not one you reach for if performance is a primary consideration.

DHH even acknowledges this: "But sure, I'd like free CPU cycles too. I just happen to care much more about free developer cycles and am willing to trade the former for the latter."
What we need are (as much as possible) unbiased sources of news

If you're using an absolute term like "unbiased" and modify it with "as much as possible," rewrite your sentence to say what you really mean. Weasel-words are a thing.

That is, don't we already have unbiased news sources "as much as possible?"
There are extensions which add buttons to quickly enable/disable JS on per-site basis like NoScript for Firefox.

Also, Firefox reader view fixes many websites which otherwise render empty with JS disabled for reasons I didn't bother investigating.
Every time I see a sentence that starts with "we need..." I automatically think "shut up and build it, or you're just complaining."

If it's a real need, then building it is a good idea, and will probably make you money. But 99.9% of the time, it's just a turn of phrase way to bitch about the way the world and human kind actually works. Yeah, if we had another Facebook the world would be better. And if I had wheels I'd be a cart. What's your point?

We don't have another Facebook, and we aren't likely to get one, because we don't actually "need" that enough to pay tens or hundreds of people to build it. You just want to wish it into existence.

TL;DR: shut up and build it, or stop complaining.
SSD Drives Vulnerable to Attacks That Corrupt User Data
The unstable Kernel ABI is really interesting. It's one of the reasons we see all these shims between proprietary drivers and the kernel (nvidia/amd), that and licensing of course.
In defense of the “god object” pattern
This touches on so many issues at once I don't even know where to start (private versus public, social medial popularity cycles, distributed versus centralized services...)

I think it's not just an alternative to Facebook we need, it's a distributed paradigm, with a distributed network, with distributed services.

The tension/problem as I see it is this: we need distributed networks, where people run their own services, and are servers as well as clients, but at the same time a large proportion of people do not or cannot run their own services. Solving that problem seems key to me--have people act as servers without realizing it (maybe something like with torrents).

The success of things like Facebook and Twitter has never seemed like that much of a mystery to me: they basically allow people to have a web page without needing to make one. There was MySpace that did that, and then people wanted to add on privacy and discussions, etc. to their webpage, so Facebook supplied that; Twitter was basically providing a way for people to post rss/Atom feeds, etc. But then you cede control to these large providers.

I don't think that model completely applies anymore, with messaging, photo sharing, and what not becoming so integrated, but I think the fundamental issues are the same, in that that the internet was developed with a greater ratio of providers:users in mind than is the case now. I think there was a much more federated model in mind when the internet was developed than is the case today.

Epigenetics has shown how susceptible we are chemically and that those genetic changes are hereditary. We also know brain chemistry can be impacted by changes in how we use the brain. I suspect we'll be able to use these mechanisms to intentionally evolve faster.

How is it you're so very certain about how we work and the time scale evolution operates on when we're still discovering core mechanisms?

You may want to consider challenging some of these beliefs you hold because it sounds like they're limiting what you consider possible, which can only serve to limit your own behavior. A growth-oriented mindset is more helpful for learning and if we want to learn collectively, I think we'll need a lot more people with that kind of mindset.

If you don't believe it's possible to collectively organize to strategically change our thinking, will you be less inclined to orient your own toward the goal because "why bother?"

I believe there are simple, desirable ways to change how we use our brains and they're effective enough to get immediate benefits from them. That's enough for me to believe they're globally marketable, which is what it'll take to collectively organize.

It works like this. You are a rich fucker who wants to mug a country. To do that you need an army. So first you locate some traumatized people. Feed them money and motivational ideology. Point them at your target. Profit.

Voila, you have invented a band of terrorists.

There's nothing whatsoever vague about the benefits it provides researchers (and therefore the species). To suggest otherwise is anti-science akin to climate denial.

You're also misunderstanding the choices available:

1) The alternative for the whale in this scenario is death. Are you sure the whale would choose that over living in an aquarium? How sure?

Remember - The overwhelming majority of human beings don't even make that choice (see: suicide rates of long-term prisoners).

2) > I'd much rather spend all the money used in housing these whales on field studies and establishing conservation zones in the actual environment.

What money? You mean the money generated from the aquarium? Oh wait. Ummm... I have some very bad news about your proposed scheme.

It really doesn't sound like you've thought this through. I admire the compassion of people like you. I really do. But, you seem to be living in some alternate universe from the rest of us. You might be better served to think with your heart and your brain.

See, even the language is as biased as in the Pravda in its heyday.

There are no public logs that show how the discussion advanced, but there is a heavy push by the Leftist media to portray and spin the exchange of information in the light that fits their narrative. There is also absolutely no reason to believe that Trump doesn't want something in return. The two stories are almost identical, but spun in entirely different ways which shows the blatant stench of bias.
Setting up secure access to a small embedded IoT device
They have raised the VAT before. The result was that the consume sank, a lot of commerces closed, and the government collected less money from VAT than before (21% of zero is zero). People 1) think that is an abuse and are very upset or 2) just can't afford it and start lowering its expectatives (i.e buying chinese cheaper products, instead made in germany) or 3) are forced to start doing all business out of the law just to survive. In the end the harvest is that populism and nationalism is growing in Europe; governments need to spend more resources to fight against the fraud, european companies need to spend a lot time in unproductive bureaucracy instead to focus in selling its products, and nobody is happy.

Europe can raise the VAT as many as they want. They are only shooting themselves in the foot, damaging the growth expectatives of the european companies and carefully nurturing the anti-european parties.
