The issue with apt install has more to do with a poor packaging mechanism on Debian's part rather than networking. Windows installers for once are actually superior in this regard since they generally provide an option to install for either the system or only the current user.

Also, to provide multi-tenant hosting, you could just create some sort of root level reverse proxy (possibly Nginx or Apache) with some sort of registration system for domains. You just use the Host header to multiplex the system's port 80/443. For localhost stuff, I think you could set up something with DNS to be http://{username}.localhost. It would be kind of an interesting idea to do as a happy medium between serverless and separate VMs.
The US and most developed countries are highly urbanized. The US is 82% urban, most of Europe about 80%, China was 57% in 2016 and increasing every year. [1]

Together, these countries account for over half of the world's oil demand and the urban parts account for most of it. [2]

The impact on urban areas alone would be sufficient to disrupt the whole industry. The disruption will unlikely to be as drastic as what happened to Kodak and Nokia since most people cannot afford to change cars as quickly and changing modes of transportation especially conditioned on self-driving vehicles reaching broad acceptance might take some time. Your point regarding rural areas may be applicable to several developing countries. The author's key points remain valid, although the timeline looks too optimistic.

I should qualify why: The South Australian power network, due to its increasing reliance on Wind and Solar, struggles with fluctuations in the network. The battery will aid to stabilise the grid in peak demand times.
As far as I've read, Morgellons is only "contagious" in the sense that people who already had symptoms of delusional parasitosis or undiagnosed/misdiagnosed skin conditions gravitate toward it as an explanation.
$5k per year is almost free comparing to average single coder compensation.
I have always been a bit confused about logging. On the one hand it's invaluable for debugging, but on the other it creates some unpleasant looking code. Not only that, sometimes, log statements introduce defects in code. I am not sure of the performance implications of logging. But I put logs anyway.
I honestly don't know what's worse. Shelling Seoul, which will be bad don't get me wrong, or killing the power grid and water systems of entire countries. The latter could utterly cripple logistical systems and lead to a total melt-down of society if there was enough panic brewing. If there's shelling you can evacuate the city, you can head out of range of the guns. There's nowhere to hide from electronic warfare if your entire society depends on power, fuel and computers.

This isn't about leaked emails or advance copies of movies, it's about attacking and permanently damaging large portions of infrastructure. If you can fiddle with a power plant you can destroy generators, transformers, and other extremely expensive equipment that could months to source, fabricate, transport and replace under ideal conditions. They don't have a warehouse full of spare turbines just sitting around.

Stuxnet showed what can happen if you pin-point target a particular system. If you broaden the scope of your targets, if you don't care about collateral damage, the stakes are very, very high.

Hacking into Sony wasn't hard and I have a sneaking suspicion that most infrastructure control systems are as bad or worse.

The black-out in eastern North America in 2003 shows how suddenly things can change if the grid goes down. That only lasted a day and yet the economic destruction was significant. Imagine if not only were the power plants offline, but they were crippled in such a way they couldn't come back without serious repairs. That is a possibility here. Months without power, without water.
Your comment reminded me of the idea that "...crude oil is much too valuable to be burned as a fuel."

No, it's because the cost it inflicts on the commons exceeds the benefit of an adolescent sex joke. If we get lots of the the latter, it will turn off and drive away some of the people we want here. Then more good users may start to leave as more good users start to leave—a vicious circle which it's basically our #1 job to (try to) make sure HN doesn't get caught in. So we're a bit hypervigilant about this.
I was talking with a younger relative this weekend who is in college and she mentioned TheSkimm and I immediately thought of this thread. Maybe the younger crowd who spends so much time with social apps and other noise find it highly valuable. There's probably a big distrust for mainstream sources which is not unwarranted.
Yes, lanczos really is better quality, but it seems like the pixel mixing article admits and explains that openly. You don't always need better quality, sometimes a box filter is fine, but for some applications it can be super important to use a high quality filter.

Faster depends on implementation details, but from the looks of it, to implement pixel mixing, you either have to generate your convolution kernel dynamically, or chop some source pixels into potentially 4 separate pieces? I would guess that it's easier to optimize a static kernel than to make a dynamic kernel faster than a static one. But I'm not entirely sure how fast pixel mixing could be made.

> It can be confused with a box filter or with linear interpolation, but it is not the same as either of them... [pixel mixing] Treats pixels as if they were little squares, which gets on some experts’ nerves.

This is a funny way of putting it. Pixel mixing is definitely using a box filter, just slightly differently than what people normally call box filter resizing. The author even says that later: "Another way to think of pixel mixing is as the integral of a nearest-neighbor function." Pixel mixing as described here is clipping the source image under the box filter rather than using a static kernel. The reason that a box filter isn't ideal is well understood. It's because the filter itself has high frequencies in it. This is the reason that the quality of pixel mixing resizes is low.

One of the benefits of a box filter is that applied multiple times, it becomes a better filter, and approximates a Gaussian after several times. I'm not sure but I would bet that clipping to the exact filter boundary actually prevents you from being able to do that with pixel mixing.

Probably the best bet here is to create mechanisms such that wealthy people who possess an abundance of caring and money can donate that money to the less fortunate, which would have the side effect of levelling the field, and the bonus of not impinging on anyone's liberties.
I'd say the original mistake was making the port number distinct from the address in TCP/IP. In that model the remote party implicitly cares whether two services are on the same physical machine or not. We have ways to work around that, but not without friction.

The advent of DNS created a new opportunity to come up with a unified address, but sadly the SRV record seems to have been invented too late (RFC 2782 is dated February 2000).

Of course there are good reasons for address/port split, not least that ports come from TCP and addresses from IP. But still, it shows how many pragmatic real world decisions have pragmatic real world consequences.

> our average Joe the idea of buying a Tesla Model 3

The idea is that Joe will rent the Tesla (i.e. use a taxi), not buy the Tesla because it will be cheaper to use a taxi than to own the car himself (in the city).

So Joe doesn't care about how much the Tesla cost just like nobody cares about how much a taxi car cost.

This effect is visible in Denmark: most taxis are expensive Mercedes-Benz E-Class which nobody owns privately because of the price. They are used for taxis as they are very reliable for driving a huge distance everyday.

> Societal inertia is going to be a big factor

It can change very fast when people can save money.
I think you're spot on.

I think the hype about pure electric and self driving are largely just that, hype. I do think electric will rule the day, I just don't think we're going to see it by 2030 - maybe by 2050 - but thats still a big maybe - we need one more generation of battery technology to make it to the mass market.
BBC has a documentary on Henry Marsh called The English Surgeon. It's also a great watch.
> If you take Pilot Wave Interpretation and just take out the particles, you're left with the Many Worlds Interpretation with exactly the same predictions. To paraphrase Netwon, there's no need for that hypothesis.

And if you take Many World and simply add a particle you have Pilot Wave hypothesis. No need for the crazy multiple universes nonsense. All 3 produce (including Copenh) the exact same predictions, so that's not gonna be the distinguishing factor.

Which is more contorted? Waves are physical and particles exist? Or we live in a countless number of simultaneously subdividing universes?

It's fascinating to hear people discuss PW vs MWs - because (in my opinion) it becomes very clear which they became comfortable with first.

If you were to stop a random person on the street and give them a summary of the two theories it's pretty clear that someone unfamiliar with both would say the PW is a ton simpler. But it's fascinating to see that a good number of people who are comfortable with many worlds will argue that it's less complex. My view is obviously their opinion is shaped by what they've been exposed to first.

I love my combustion cars too but the Tesla puts them all to shame. It's just better in every way but two: Initial price and range. Economies of scale and competition will fix the first and recharging stations have already mostly fixed the second. I encourage skeptics to drive one. It's an astonishing vehicle.
> The costs of electric self-driving cars will be so low, it will be cheaper to hail a ride than to drive the car you already own.

Actually it's nearly to that point for me already. I moved to LA from Hawai'i. In most places in Hawai'i having a car is essential if you want to go anywhere (not so much in Honolulu) - on my island the bus only ran every 2 hours until 4pm on the weekends, and some of the stops were over 5 miles apart.

But now that I live in LA, so any of my needs to go out can be met with Sprouts Amazon Prime Now, Uber and when I really need something coordinated I'll rent a Turo car. And all this costs me less than a monthly car payment would.

This article serves only to reinforce that the beautiful simplicity of react is spoilt by the confusion of Redux.

I feel that every Redux blog post should start by pointing out that despite react/Redux almost being discusssed synonymously, as the author of Redux points out, "you might not need Redux".

I would go further and say "avoid Redux until you know you need it", and point people to more simple ways of reaching the same goals.

Redux is a power tool for experts that is disheartening beginners and sending them down the wrong path.

I was speaking to someone recently who had tried Reactjs. I wanted to enthuse with him about how awesome it is. He said it was too hard and he went with vuejs instead. When I questioned him further it became apparent that he had started to learn react/Redux and gave up in confusion.
"It's been done" and "What we need isn't tech to be invented so much as solutions to be funded and/or bought." are somewhat dismissive overstatements.

If we had a way to implement a capability-secure runtime on Linux on Intel CPUs, in a way that improved performance rather than making it worse, and was straightforwardly usable with existing programs, then we could make a ton of progress and easily be commercially successful.

But that is technologically difficult. Maybe we can still figure it out, though. Or maybe we just need to figure out the right trade-offs to get something viable out the door and widely used.
Apple had the right idea with .app bundles. There should be no such thing as "installation." Android and iOS kind of get it right too.

Likewise aircraft, which will not run practically on batteries for at least another decade. But the elimination of cars will decrease a volume of petroleum consumption large enough to pose an existential challenge to many oil companies.
I just quit the payments team with Pje a month ago and I can say no one saw this coming. The entire payments and subscriptions infrastructure is now unmanned. Pje was a veteran but most of the team was <6 months and we just moved into a new space. The numbers seemed good to me.

The silver lining here is that recruiters are in a blood frenzy; I've had ~30 messages come in today.
According to Wikipedia both Diamond and Archos players were DOA by 2005, two years before the iPhone was released. Creative struggled on for a few years post iPhone. 2005 was the year of the iPod Photo and the iPod Video, although the beginning of the iPod as multi-function device started in 2002 with addition of the PDA functionality.

By 2006 Apple had 72-74% of the MP3 player market, with SanDisk, Creative, Zune, Sony, Samsung, and other accounting for the remainder. I seem to recall most of the damage was done by the iPod Mini.
>You can start out that way dropshipping from AliExpress or with print on demand products.

But aren't you just selling junky products? That seems pretty unsustainable as well.
For me at least, you're grossly overvaluing how much of an engineering accomplishment the iPhone was. I had windows mobile phones for at least a couple years before the iPhone came out and those phones had basic functionality that the iPhone was plain missing for years like mms and copy/paste.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location."
Definitely some great feedback there - I think most of those are known issues, and not all of them are technically kops issues, but we'll be figuring out how to work around them for kops users. (Switching Docker versions is tricky because k8s is tested with a particular version, so we've been reluctant to make that too easy, and the kube-dns 1.5 -> 1.6 upgrade was particularly problematic). Do file issues for the hung nodes - it might be k8s not kops, but one of the benefit of kops is that it takes a lot of unknowns out of the equation so we can typically reproduce and track things down faster.

And it is way too hard to switch clusters with kubectl, I agree. I tend to use separate kubeconfig files, and use `export KUBECONFIG=<path>`, but I do hope we can find something better!
Oh yes. If we go back further and make IP 64-bit and specify that all endpoints should get a /40 to be assigned to up to 2^24 network endpoints per system and then left out the concept of ports entirely, we could have saved probably ten thousand human lifetimes of coding.

Ipv4 addresses are 32 bits and ports are 16, so the above would only have cost 16 bits.

It's hard to have that much foresight, but I would not be surprised if it was suggested and shot down.
Hexagonal Architecture and Free Monad: Two Related Design Patterns? (2017)
Sure, but something like 40% of all oil in America is used for transportation, and 55% of that is gasoline for cars.

I can't find a good source for what percentage of global oil consumption is burned up in cars, but supposing that was ~20% as well--that would be really something, to take away ~20% of Big Oil's revenues.
Generating the factors dynamically isn't that hard. I implemented this algorithm back in the late 80's, and it had acceptable performance on a 25 MHz processor. Not only that but it had to do some distortion correction at the same time, so it was applying a different resize factor to every single line of the image. All with integer math.
So you believe that consciousness is supernatural and not the product of a physical brain. I don't see any reason to believe that, but it definitely makes it clear why we hold differing opinions.

Edit:

I think all that philosophy is going to have to be updated when we eventually start having conversations with synthetic brains that can tell us about their sense of consciousness ;-)

Edit 2:

If we had a device that could instantly make a carbon-copy (unintended pun) of a human (let's say me), identical down to the last atom, what you're saying is that copy would NOT be conscious. That it is not enough to capture the physical nature of someone to capture the state of consciousness.. that it is beyond physical. I just don't know how to come to terms with that idea. To me consciousness simply must be a product of our physical bodies and thus within the purview of rational study and comprehension.
That is way low and you're not going to get anything decent for that price. Honestly, what you get might not even be worth publishing.
