I guess my point is "how much anonymity is it reasonable to expect?" Should I have a problem with the fact that nigh-on every URL in the world will leave behind a little footprint when I request it? I don't see an enormous problem with a website anonymously recording the fact that I've clicked a link.

There is huge differences between running a live WordPress site on a docker container (where you still have php, mysql, etc), and running it as a static site in a serverless environment.
>They can either accept the fees that are available or not.

Couldn't the same be said of a brick and mortar store? They either accept the offers they are given or they don't. That for some item they only accept offers of exactly 9.99 (plus tax), rejecting not only lower offers but higher offers, doesn't change that the interaction can be described in the same fashion.

All the rest also applies to normal supply and demand. When you do a production run of some item, the cost tends to be fixed per item. Doing another run at a different time may cost different, and it is possible for something extreme to happen (factory accident), but in general the cost of production of a single run is the same.

I see nothing about this that would void basic economic reasoning, where things like 'reducing fees' happens in certain conditions.

That’s not a superposition or probabilities, and not really subject to this thought experiment. What you’re describing sounds more like quantum immortality, not related to suicide. The problem either way is that you only get to make your own observations... maybe that means you die, and in a branch you don’t. You don’t experience that branch though, if it exists. You don’t have any awareness of other branches now, right?

The problem is... why and how does your consciousness “move” to another reality? What is the physical mechanism that has you living and not a twin in another universe who isn’t really you... after all, you died when the bombs fell.

Most Of all though it’s important to remember that like Schrodinger’s cat this is a thought experiment meant To illustrate certain problems or features of quantum mechanics. It is an analogy or metaphor for a system dominated by quantum effects, like a single radioactive atom with a 50-50 chance of decaying in the next second. These thought experiments don’t really suggest alive/dead cats, or immortals, they highlight how quantum systems differ from Classical ones.

These ideas have led to various interpretations of QM, such as The Copenhagen Interpretarion (wavefunction collapse) and MWI (multiple universe). None of those interpretations are very rigorous, and may well be indicative of gaps in understanding as much as anything else.

So... to drop the PM2.5 amount by 15%, this tower must be removing many many tons of particulate matter every day. How is it removed from the filters they speak of? How expensive is that to do? I have some questions about the practicality.

The 787 is definitively better than the A380 (spec wise and personal experience wise) for cabin pressurization and humidity, but I’ve not flown on the A350. As it turns out, the A350 specs out better on both air quality measures than the 787 (just looked it up) and professional reviewers agree it’s better.

Isn't the whole point of the A380 that it's cheaper per passenger-mile when fully loaded up? Why would an A320 ticket be cheaper? Is it the cost of the airframe? Could better leasing options (as other airlines leases run out) solve that?

Actually, I meant bash, that is, if one works solely with Linux systems. Bash has some very useful features and is the default on common Linux systems. Those are not POSIX. It was frozen in time long ago and is very limiting, do not wear that straightjacket if you do not have to.

For commercial unices or bsd's bash could be hard to use and using POSIX shell may make more sense.
Part of that, I think, is a presentation problem. And I'm admittedly coming from a small sample size of designers I've worked with.

When I've been given PSDs in the past, either for review or for implementation, there's never been any documentation with any of the reasoning behind any of it. And when I've asked follow-up questions about why something was done the way it was, I've typically been met with either defensiveness or "that's how it is, now go and build it"
It depends on what you mean by "it." The is that lightning networks are "off-chain" transactions that aren't validated by block miners unless/until they need to be.

The idea is that off-chain transactions can be free and instant. The problem is that those speedy transactions only work for transactions within the lightning network. Anything cross-networks needs to hit the block chain.

This introduces a new centralizing dynamic and it is hard to predict what sort of issues or complications may arise from this solution in practice.

Regarding the Java shop: here's a video of an Atlassian employee giving a talk on rxjs and redux-observable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk2bVBZhmcc None are specifically Atlassian's products, but it feels like their frontend is pretty normal (I would even say, advanced) and is quite dissociated from whatever Java they may be using on the backend.

Also, they started rolling out a different (React-based) frontend for Jira several months ago. Can't say that particularly improved Jira's performance, but still... I am not sure viewing them as just a Java shop is fair anymore.

And they also seem to be using graphQL now.

> Stalin, different story, because he fits into the 'Great Russian' nationalist narrative -- and was the leader during the Great Patriotic War.

Dead wrong.

Stalin is remembered first and foremost for the great purge of 1937, inducing famine in Ukraine and displacing people en masse. His most notable "contribution" to WW2 was his complete silence during the first few days that followed June 22nd. He abandoned his duties as the supreme commander at the moment when he was needed the most. In my age group it is generally accepted that WW2 was won by generals and marshals despite Stalin being at the helm rather than because of it. Stalin is remembered for his cruelty and cowardice, not his leadership.

This bridges over to another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16156972) about the problem with many IT people thinking of their job as playing with cool technology rather than business outcomes. I’ve run into even a fair number of high-ranked people who habitually over-engineer things because they’ve tied their ego to the wrong metric, and many places didn’t have corrective pressure against that.

Hosted services have been good for counter-pressure: if your oracle cluster can be replaced with a $50/mo RDS instance, it’s a lot harder to hand-wave around the cost differential.

No, I'm annoyed that people seem to think people sat around doing jack shit for some 30+ minutes instead of sending out the false alarm message. I'm confident they were going as fast as they can and I don't like the blaming of the operator for what was a failing in the designed software. I'm not even sure I blame the people that wrote the software as I'm sure they were given a very specific spec of what it should do and they met the spec.
As a government contractor who did not work on this, I can say I'd bet a lot of money that this is how this screen came about. Initially launched 2-10 years ago with 1-2 links, fast forward a bit and we have this.

I can hear a forward thinking developer saying "hey should we at least have colored buttons or something on this screen so it's easy to see what is a test and what is not?" and the product owner/business owner/PM saying "no man just add a link it's faster."
In a situation like this having to type the full text of the message as a confirmation would work.

Any reasonable person typing in “This is not a drill...” would pause half way through. It’s not the same as blindly clicking “Yes”.

> why official Rust support may never make sense is that it's so easy

I suspect the only thing Amazon will care about here is consumer demand, and potentially the ability of consumers to move from other platforms to theirs (e.g. if Google cloud supports <thing> they are more likely to do so in order to convince people to move).

Rust is a cool language, but it's use in HTTP services is not as widespread as Go, and there are a bunch of other languages I'd expect first (PHP, Ruby?)
Incremental design doesn’t excuse the guy adding thing #2 or thing #3 not paying attention to the whole. Nor does being a contractor excuse it. You don’t get a contract job to add some links to a page. You are contracted to modify it (regardless of what the buyer said he wanted) - and you are responsible for not making it dangerous. Even if that means you can’t take the job.

Someone reviewed the spec for this. Someone modified the page of links. Someone reviewed that modification. Someone signed off on the change.

But seriously, as an occasional government contractor, this does not surprise me at all. This is par for the course on government software projects. Nobody gets fired for adding just one more menu item. Besides, good luck pushing a complete redesign through in a reasonable amount of time/money. With the bloated teams and processes they use, that would take years. Sadly, this is probably the "new" version anyway.

> Incidentally I am amazed at how many more Airbus planes fly into Heathrow than Boeing. Particularly with the smaller jets, A320 size the equivalent Boeing planes seem relatively rare. Imaginably they are on a different flight path.

There's a transatlantic divide here: Airbus is a European manufacturer and disproportionately popular in Europe, the converse is true with Boeing in America. The NYT being a US paper and HN being a mostly-American site, you'll see a tendency to favour Boeing here.

I'm afraid your Businessweek example is incorrect. There is a link provided, linking to Telegram.com with the complete article from Bloomberg Businessweek. The link is broken, but it's cached at archive.org just after the date it was published in 2012:

http://web.archive.org/web/20120713014102/http://www.telegra...

So why link to the Worcester County Telegram's syndication of Businessweek articles, and not directly to Bloomberg Businessweek? Because old Bloomberg articles are behind a paywall and only accessible to Bloomberg Professional Service Subscribers. Here's an example Bloomberg link from that year, note that it only contains one sentence:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-10-29/bonds-bet...

As for being a right-wing nutter site, the Worcester County Telegram was owned by The New York Times at the time they published/syndicated that article in 2012.
