Having read a bit about the amazing logistics involved in modern package delivery, I am stunned. You can't beat UPS/FedEx. Not because they're superheroes, but because they've simply taken things to their logical conclusion. Unless you have rockets, drones, or some radically different form of transportation getting involved or something, you're not delivering more packages.

It stinks a bit of modern employers desires to ignore the fact that their employees are human beings. I expect any day now to hear of a big company tearing out all the bathrooms in their offices and cancelling lunch hours because it will 'improve efficiency.' If you don't want to deal with the basic truths of human employees, then you don't belong in business, period.
The 2008 Roadster had a nominal curb weight of 1,305kg. Remove the 450kg battery and it should be 855kg, much less than the "~1,250kg" mass reported by NASA.
iOS does too, along with a number of other display accommodations. It has adjustable filters for specific forms of color blindness, along with an Ishihara-like test pattern to help tune the filter to your specific needs.
Yeah, this has way more to do with limits in software implementations than anything else imo. But of course the implication in some of the language in this article is that we wouldn’t have this problem if we just got rid of the white men.

I have a different suggestion. Let’s just give control of the software development process to the HR department and see if they can eliminate these issues and effectively deliver products at the same time.
Which use cases are slow for you ? you used it on large code base or parsed cpp source ?

A quicker emacs would be neat, but most of the time emacs gets speed from flexibility (it might be slow but I can automate something) and design decision (magit for instance blows 99% of the fastest git interfaces)

ps: one part that realize is that I don't like emacs daemon, and even curated my setup on windows (probably the culprit) takes a few seconds. It's not slow but often I want a buffer right away so I use notepad u_u; stupid I know.

I would like to know more about these students interest for crypto.

Previously, most teens and young adults didn't care about the stock market and trading. It wasn't considered cool.

Now we have a generation that is hooked. They follow their investment on their cellphone, they take positions on a whim, and yet still to be reacting more logically than older investors [1].

I want to know what they are interested in, to sell them products they will like.

This is from medium sized US software company. As per standard employment contract, 1 week pay per year worked. It was more generous for managers, but that was the company being generous, not anything that was in the employment contract. It's not a company most people have heard of.

Oddly enough, later in the year they made this incredibly stupid decision where they hired a lot of people and fired all them during the orientation week. Apparently those people got a really good severance package.

Where does this claim in the title come from?

>IOTA: Cannot be used for IoT

The author has this caption under the screenshot of the official documentation:

>They also write that you can’t use IOTA for IoT

...but they clearly don't write that, I can read it in the screenshot. They say it doesn't work on smaller IoT devices, and that this will change when you can compile from source. So that's out as a source of this claim.

The other source:

>I upgraded to this machine after reading on the Discord chat that people were unable to stay in sync with less powerful hardware [citation needed]

That's the requirements for running the Wallet GUI on Linux, not IOTA core (which as the author mentions, has been implemented in python and JS).

Nuance matters, concluding "IOTA cannot be used on Internet-of-Things devices" at the end seems like an oversimplification; especially for an article that seems overly-specific when it's trying to make IOTA seem complicated (Is setting up an AWS instance of Ubuntu for your Windows host a concern for EVERY user of IOTA? Is it really important that you set up your firewall incorrectly?).

Another strange omission is not mentioning IOTA as being in beta, which is the reason it can't run on smaller devices:

Walmart's profit primarily comes from abuse of monopoly (which is not efficiency) and from government subsidies (they are the biggest welfare recipients in the world, since their workers require government welfare to survive while working so much for so little).

Their profits come from economic coercion and exploiting public subsidies, not efficiency. Walmart's primary competitive innovation historically was union busting.

For your dream scenario to become true, you not only have to live and work in the Silicon Valley. You also have to work on interesting problems at interesting companies. Google may employ 10k engineers, but only 100 or so work on the really interesting stuff.

My passion is research and free software, so yes I do "prioritize excellence in development." I don't have to move to the Silicon Valley nor the United States to take part in that.
> The reason I say they didn't use it is if they had, then it would still be there in Uber's technology, and it would be easy for Waymo to prove that in court, and so they would have had no motive for settling.

Time is a motive for settling, as is the fact that even with the best case juries are unpredictable.

The money at issue probably isn't a big deal to Alphabet, the behavioral consequences are. If what they've got in the settlement on that front is, in their view, adequate to ensure that their technology isn't going to be used to compete against them, getting that now is probably better than going through the legal process and getting to a judgement.

Avoiding Amazon has actually been easier than I expected and if anything I’ve found purchasing more convenient overall.

>Why? I want you to genuinely think about this question.

You're not offering anything profound here. You are just admitting that a high density area can't just be built in the middle of a small city without affecting the prices.

>and so great to live in, that people WANT to live near them?

Of course people that love dense cities want to live in or near dense cities. People who like that will buy up the surrounding houses and keep pushing the prices up until they are on parity with the cost of the city itself. However, you know who doesn't want to live there? People who deliberately chose not to live in a dense city in the first place.

>increase in price because EVERYONE WANTS TO LIVE THERE!

That's not how supply and demand works. They increase in price because of limited supply and a large enough pool of people who like cities to outstrip supply. Expensive != everyone wants.

>and people are willing to pay a premium amount of money to live there.

Some people are. Some people are also willing to pay a premium amount of money to have a helicopter. It doesn't mean everyone wants or can afford a helicopter.

>Your argument is literally that we shouldn't make cities and place to live better, because if the places to live are better, then more people will want to live there.

No it's not. You're either being deliberately obtuse or you have never interacted with people that choose to live in small cities. Adding more density, increasing the cost of housing per square foot, increasing traffic, etc are all awful turnoffs for people who seek small cities.

>and we should make everywhere in the world better to live in.

And there is a good chunk of the population in smaller cities that would be happy for you to go ruin someone else's area with your idea of "better".

>But even so, the people who want to live in places that suck

Don't be vacuous, you have to fathom that that people like different lifestyles.

>should get at least 1% of the land to do with as we please.

There is plenty of empty land in the US for you to build your dream cities. You don't need to wreck a small city to build more dense cities. If everyone wanted to live in density like you claim, you could make billions building out cities wherever you want. Just stop screwing up existing communities.

>Why can't they give the same freedom of choice to those who disagree with them?

You have the choice, just build the density somewhere else. If you displace an entire community that likes small cities don't expect them to thank you for fundamentally altering their way of life for the worse (in their eyes).

I've used ceph since firefly - and noout existed back then as well.

Assuming that you run with 3 failure domains, and only maintain one failure domain at a time. Noout mostly gets the job done. What it doesn't do for you is save you from an actual failure in a different failure domain during maintenance. EC pools & k+(m>=2) or replication > 3 - would cover this as well.

We've had mostly great success with noout + maintain failure domain at a time, wait for recovery, proceed to next failure domain, repeat until done. To the point where we've been comfortable leaving a lot of the babysitting & work to machines.

In this case it should say “psilocybin” (as it now does) as there are very particular (IMO significant) differences in its’ effects as compared to other 5ht2* agonists, such as LSD. For example it typically has about 1/4 to 1/2 the duration of LSD which is therapeutically significant.

You are not your thoughts. What is meant by the self being an illusion is that there is no thinker behind your thoughts, no entity in your brain that is the 'you'. Most people do not even realize they are constantly submerged in thought and/or dialogue with their 'inner voice'. That is not the real you though.

If you've suffered some mental problems you can even have multiple thoughts in your conscious scope at once or thoughts whirling past so fast you can barely make out what their contents are. You may not even want to think or like these thoughts. Some traumatized people are affected by what they describe as intrusive thoughts that have so much momentum or energy that they greatly modify their consciousness and behavior and emotions, for example cause depression.

The false ego is a tough nut to crack because it has so much invested in thinking it is real and acting out whatever. Whatever the consciousness or your brain or body experiences as you is an accumulation of traits, thought patterns, reactions all layered up to form a somewhat consistent/cohesive/continuous experience.

If you have the drive to look behind the curtain or are interested in altered states of consciousness, you can experience these insights into the nature of consciousness by prolonged daily meditation practice, with or without psychedelics. Eventually with enough awareness you may be able to simply 'step outside' of thoughts or witness thoughts happening and see as they pass through your consciousness without being involved in or affected by them.

Despite all this, you may still want to put that body before someone else and that may be totally ok.
So now naivety (ignorance) is a moral failing?
> They want a context that is private. They want to isolate their home from the firehouse of global bullshit out there.

With all due respect, over the past fifteen years of trying to secure corporate networks, we've learned the hard way that this simply isn't a realistic goal. Having a hard outer shell and a squishy center just leaves the entire network vulnerable, because it's simply not possible to isolate yourself from the badness of the outside world. As soon as you let anyone in who's ever spoken to the hostile outside world, they bring the hostile outside world in with them.

We can't keep pretending that we can keep home networks isolated from the rest of the world when many of the computers in those networks move freely between the global Internet and the private home intranet. All connected devices are part of the global Internet whether or not we want them to be, and whether or not their connections are persistent.
The younger generations loves this because where else are you going to get 10x your money in a year. We weren't so fascinated with it pre 2013.

I think my generation being intrinsically digital find the idea of digital money and smart contracts to make hell of a lot more sense than older folks who've been working and realize the immense challenges of implementing these currencies. Naturally they find the challenges to be worth more than what Crypto can provide because they lack the need to a digitally connected physical world younger folks desire.
Even that might be too rigid. A better way is to have a time-based setting. For x < N seconds, ignore the missing node. N could be 600 or 900. During that time, you have degraded performance, but the system is still serving. If you exceed that time, then perhaps the node is gone for good, so you should rebuild.

Think of the case where you have more than the three servers describe in this incident. You really don't want to disable cluster-wide automated repairs because of some other kind of maintenance. Something else WILL happen during your scheduled work and... ooops.

Why 600 or 900? Unavailability events in larger clusters mostly tend to last only 10-15 minutes, for routine things such as regular node reboots, per page 2 of https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

When I did a large organization rename (GitHub helped us reclaim a name from a long-since disused account), we were extremely cautious because of this exact problem. Our GitHub organization was named XYZ, being renamed to ABC. We had GitHub rename a separate user, DEF, to ABC. We then picked a low risk time and had browser windows open when we initiated the swap of our new shiny ABC to ABC-old to immediately grab the name and then immediately grab the old name on a new account.
> That's what I've done. Hardware RAID + XFS + NFS + backups, done.

Even if this was HA, it doesn't scale to HPC type needs. You end up with a single node bottleneck for all data you need. You also would have some sort of direct attached storage all connected to a single node.

Lustre/Gluster/Ceph/GFS and maybe HDFS (ideally with commercial MapR type NFS access) are probably the only viable options in the HPC use case.

If you have a lot of money to burn Isilon/NFS is an option as well.
Or maybe Github shouldn't be used as a package repository if security is a concern.

I also think it's weird how Go uses Github HEAD as the package download source. Strange.
I think we should just take the same approach that I2P and Tor take for naming, and base the domain name on the public key. Local devices automatically get a domain like gmaf2cgbn3q2be3vaaytrev3qyxcksemkdxtzefq5bl3542uyf3q.local, which they can advertise via mDNS, and the browser accepts a self-signed certificate for a public key which matches this fingerprint just as if it were "domain validated".

The domain stays the same so long as the key does, so the user can bookmark the page for their own device and be sure that when they navigate back to that domain they're getting the same device and not some imposter—effectively making this equivalent to "trust on first use".

Edit: Changed "on the certificate" to "on the public key". It might be necessary to regenerate the certificate periodically, e.g. to update the expiration date, and that shouldn't affect the domain name.
Title is a little bit hyperbolic. I get that it's a real issue that needs fixing, but a GitHub URL is not a secure package identifier, it was never designed this way, and it's an unfortunate hack that it's become a defacto standard.

What we really need is for language-level package managers to support signed immutable packages, and for that to start being taken seriously above the OS-level.
