All modern gallery apps have some rudimentary photo recognition, but I haven't found any but Google's that will allow you to search terms like "topless/nude" and find accurate results. I would never store photos like that with Google, but I've confirmed it works, and with how many promotions Google has run offering free photo storage with their latest phones there are undoubtedly thousands and thousands of unwitting users who have sensitive photos not just automatically backed up in some Google server, but categorized. Just imagine if these servers were to be hacked and that information was conveniently pre-arranged for extortion.

I've switched completely to bing for a few reasons:

1) Bing is much faster to load

2) Bing doesn't muck up the links. I can right click->copy and get the actual link. With google you get a long incantation that doesn't tell you what site it goes to.

3) Bing handles a few things better, eg, "$500 in ₹" works in bing but not in google.

However, when I need local results, or results about something ongoing, Google is the undisputed king. Nobody else even comes close.

I wrote a blockchain explorer on Bitcoin as a technical exercise, and the intermediate state thing caught my attention, too. If all copies of a block disappear and all you're left with is a hash, what do you have? A complete blockchain?

Can you elaborate on this? In what way is it any more of a portal than government issued fiat? Is it because the infrastructure is more robust because it has been around the block longer? Is there some other technical detail that makes it exceptionally good at being a portal?
All this is true, and yet when I use Google Chrome's search autocomplete (which is partly server-side and partly client-side), it will usually fill in exactly the query that will get me what I want (rather than what query I think will get me what I want) before I even start typing it, using some combination of searches I've done before and the indexed text of open Chrome tabs.

Google by itself isn't very good, but Googling from the Google Chrome address bar these days is something else.

On-chain scaling is not sustainable. If you want to handle as many transaction as for example Visa, you would need 1 GB blocks every 10 minutes, which would make the whole blockchain heavily centralized because regular users won't be able to host full nodes to validate payments.

About "adopting" and increasing block size. I think most developers agree that we would need to increase it at some point, but I believe core Bitcoin developers refusing to do it to accelerate real scalability solution (e.g. Lightning Network). After we have a working scaling solution we might see increase in block size to lower fees and increase throughput.

What does "supports jitsi" mean? Jitsi is an XMPP client, last I checked, are you just saying Matrix supports XMPP?
Because it’s a function execution system, not an application execution system. If you need the latter, you can use ECS or K8S.
This is an interesting question. I think it depends on the situation, You pay for memory so if you are getting near the cap in the execution of your function then managing the memory as you go may be beneficial but otherwise I don't see why you wouldn't just ignore it. I do have an open question weather the memory leak would effect subsequent runs of the function after it has been "warmed up" - https://serverless.com/blog/keep-your-lambdas-warm/.

If you live on the top of a tall hill, there's no reason to charge to 100% no matter how long your trip will be as you'll charge up to 100% on the way down.

All you have to do from a safety perspective is ensure there's charge overhead. I own a Volt and there's a "mountain mode" setting for just this purpose, plus in the Volt there's always some headroom in the battery that is held in reserve by the system.
I just tried a few of my old "dry" queries (as in, things I've always wanted to look for but can't seem to get good results) and didn't notice much difference... Furthermore, after a total of 3 "Next Page"'s, I got IP-banned with a CAPTCHA.

I've had similar experiences recently with "site:" and the other colon-operators, so not entirely unexpected, but still immensely infuriating. It's almost like any real attempt to find what you're looking for, if it's rare, will result in punishment. :-(
The Bitcoin Unlimited team has tested 1 GB blocks and presented their research and findings at conferences already.

That being said, the least sustainable solution is to keep blocks at 1 MB for btc. The core group have ousted and alienated everyone who made bitcoin work originally. The fees have priced out everyone who created the ecosystem originally. It is crystal clear to anyone even slightly paying attention that they have done nothing but lie and censor.

If you are getting all your information from /r/bitcoin you should know that it is censored into oblivion and has been nothing but propaganda for years now. Bigger blocks obviously work and the 'lighting network' not only has raises enormous questions about how it can work, it has been promised as just around the corner for multiple years now.
I don't know; I'm pretty happy that I don't have to type apostrophes any more. I can just go on typing words like "ill" and "wed" and it'll figure out after a few more words that those should be "I'll" and "we'd".
My recollection is similar, with usage starting ~3.5 years ago and ending ~18 months ago. Jitsi was slow, would often crash. But it seemed to be the best video-conferencing SIP client I could find that worked on enough platforms that I could use it and also guide my family through using it.

Secrets belong wherever it makes the most sense for them to be, balancing operational needs, security, and compliance requirements.

Storing secrets in version control (with permissions to the repo tightly controlled), encrypted (with the decryption key only available on the compute needing secret access), and used for rendering into a discovery mechanism (or directly injected into instance env vars) is entirely legitimate (and I know of several orgs doing this).
Have you never looked at an itemized medical bill? This is exactly how all medical practitioners in the US that accept insurance do things.

Every procedure, every Tylenol, every operating kit has a code and a price and that is all itemized and billed.

Try calling up your mechanic and asking for a quote. Tell them your car is not working right and you don't know what's wrong, but you want a quote before bringing the car in.

Now, if you call a medical practitioners and tell them exactly what tests or procedures you want, they can probably look that up for you.

Most lambdas would be reused many times, the use once and kill the VM is not the only plan...
Out of curiosity, how come?

Bonus Question: What kind of things are you using Lambda for now?
Good question. My understanding of this was based on discussions with doctors. I had a bit of trouble finding a citation, so it's possible this isn't as cut and dry as I represented. I did run across this memo from DHHS in 2004 that might shed some light (although I'm not sure this still reflects current law).

https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/docs/alertsandbulletins/2004/fa021...

It points out a pair of laws -- the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and the Social Security Act -- which may have caused some confusion about discounts and waivers. Hospitals, the memo assures, are free to offer discounted services under a specific set of conditions such as methodically established patient financial need, an inability to collect on bills, and given that the waiver does not in any way entice business (i.e., you can't advertise it).

But the implication is that you can't give discounts willy-nilly, as a provider, or risk federal audit.

A separate but related issue is that under-billing may be considered fraud by CMS. A doctor cannot provide a service which they do not bill for, nor bill for a code which is lesser in magnitude than the actual service provided. I can't say if anyone has ever been investigated for under-billing.

In any case it's worth adding that aside from legalities, there are severe ethical ramifications of offering discounts to certain patients and not others unless that decision is made by some impartial measure. You could imagine all kinds of kickbacks, favors, enticement, coercion, biases, and so forth rearing their ugly head if doctors are given the freedom to bill whatever they choose (less or more).
True, but it could not return this article for anybody if it was not indexed.

Although it is fair to assume that Tim's blog post and all these new links pointing to the old article have triggered it's reindexation.

It feels a bit like quantum physics, now that the article is out, the state of the web has been observed and has changed.

Docker executes long running processes that communicate over HTTP/TCP. AWS has ECS, Fargate and has announced K8S support soon.

Lambda is for executing individual functions, which implies that the execution environment must be language aware (could get away with JVM dynamic invoke or the .NET equivalent as well maybe). The way parameters are passed in, the concurrency model etc are all language specific.

I've only played handheld or with the joycons separated - I haven't tried that in-box faux-controller-mount-thing. I can't imagine wanting to either.

I like the freedom of being able to hold each hand however it wants to be held, without clutching onto them both onto a 5 inch wide piece of plastic. It's also the first game system I've bought in more than a decade, so I'm not exactly accustomed to any particular controller style.
Fair. I was overly silly in my example there.

I'd still argue that even reasoning about all writes in an, "eventually this is true for everyone else," fashion is less than straight forward.

To that end, components should all be able to assume what they do is strongly consistent. If possible, assume everyone else is behind?

No offense, but could you and the other people mentioning other chains in subthreads not do that? These threads just turn into ad pages and nobody has the ability to know what advice is valuable and what is just shilling.

These claims have been made about every altcoin/feature since 2009. There's too much baseless hype. You guys want me to buy Raiblocks, Plasma, or Omise Go? Are you sure the devs know what they are doing and why?

Probably depends on how you slice the question / define "fully understand." "How it works" in terms of being able to tell yourself a story that makes sense? Sure. Car burns gas, gas makes engine go, engine turns wheels. But what about the details you'd need to actually make a car (which include but are not limited to thermodynamics and metallurgy)? Probably not.

No, I don't. Can you help clarify it for me?

Search engines crawling millions of sites each with---on average---a few MB of data distributes cost globally.

Extracting terabytes of index data from a single search engine's repository consolidates the cost on the back of that repository's bandwidth provision.

These are not symmetrical cost structures.
> sh(1) (or bash - nobody cares) features feel archaic and brittle

Maybe some shell features are not that great, but in general I feel the opposite. Many of the shell features are great and lacking in other, more general-purpose languages - for example, program composition via pipes, stdout/stderr redirection syntax, direct access to the filesystem, interchangeability of a function and a program call, and others.

When somebody decides to write a big system, like Kubernetes, they better be pragmatic rather than idealistic. That means choosing the right tool for the job, even if this tool has some deficiences or is considered quirky by some people. Manipulating VMs,containers on localhost or remote hosts, interacting with the OS and the filesystem, all on a unix-like system, it seems to me like shell is the best tool there is for most of the task.
... unless there's something Google offers up reliably that those other engines miss. Then what you're observing is heterogeneity of returned results due to the dataset being too large for any one index to cover it fully.

My mental model of the Web is a human brain with all kinds of weird mechanisms - one that forgets things, makes things up, mixes memories. Google is like an "association cortex" - take it away and all the memories are still there but access to them is much harder and needs to go through more indirections (links).

Interesting, I didn't know about SourceMage. It appears to be a source-based distro like Gentoo, and if it's package manager is written in bash, it's a perfect use case.

Since I have my hands full with the distros I'm using, I may not be able to try it for awhile, but I saved this page for further reading. I still think distros are somewhat "broken", so alternative approaches are interesting to me. (Just one problem off the top of my head: packages are old, distros can't keep up with PyPI, npm, CRAN, etc.)

If you know the SourceMage code, please try it with OSH :) Or if you know its developers, they might want to hear about a cleaner shell that's compatible with bash (although it's nascent)

I spent some time last fall implementing some constructs that the Nix package manager uses, even though I don't use Nix. Nix uses bash heavily as well.

If your prescription is out of range for contacts, it means it is very weak, so there shouldn't be much distortion in glasses, hence you won't see much difference with contacts.

Easiest would be to find a friendly optometrist who will put your astigmatism prescription into a trial frame, then let you self-adjust the cylinder and axis values until you find your desired blend of clarity and softness at your target distance. They can also advise on the safety of using that prescription vs using no glasses.
