Bitcoin requires an Internet, computers, and electricity to function.
One common theme of the tech industry is that excellent ideas get picked up by bullshit artists with time to waste and ink to spill and are then turned into something completely anathema to their original intent. Anecdotally, this seems to happen with more speed and vigor than in other domains.
This is what Anbox is trying to do: https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/README.md
You are missing the point. It's not at all about Fedora itself here. What I was trying to say is that today CoreOS (even in) stable is using Linux kernel 4.14.32 (https://coreos.com/releases/) and therefore enabling deployments to use the latest and greatest features, performance optimisations and innovation from the Linux kernel community in enterprise environments. Going back to RHEL kernel would be a major step backwards preventing a wide user base from access to what CoreOS enables them to do today. I genuinely hope that CoreOS folks at RH don't give up on continuing to deliver this sort of innovation. That is all what I was trying to get across.
is this a good time to point out the WOW gold is just a centralized currency? It wouldn't be regarded as crypto and certain doesn't use blockchain.
> I was going to be all "yeah, but I don't run a Linux desktop because I'm not a masochist, so my only use for a terminal is over SSH from Windows."

I purchased a Windows laptop a couple of years ago as an additional machine (my main platform is Linux), and honestly it’s using Windows which feels masochistic: ads, system prompts which pop up beneath windows[0], ads, the login screen swallowing my first few characters, ads, massive over-use of the trackpad (but this could be my fault, ads, very poor update experience (compared to Debian), ads, sluggishness, IE, Edge, ads, lack of free software and — oh yes, lest I forget — ads. Did I mention that an OS I paid for shows me ads all the time? ’Cause it does.

By comparison, my Debian machines are a joy to use. Every time I have to use my Windows laptop I physically deflate; every time I return to one of my GNU/Linux machines I sit up straight & smile.

0: When I'm using a site which requires a smart card login, Windows pops the smart card certificate & PIN prompt up beneath the current browser window — so it appears that nothing is happening, unless I move the mouse down to the taskbar & hover, revealing the waiting prompt. This is … odd … behaviour.

AI Frameworks and Hardware: Who Is Using What?
ChromeOS supporting GNU/Linux applications now has ZERO to do with this new capability. Completely unrelated. Different kernels and even GUI is forwarded.

Plus how they implement Fuchsia is unclear or even for sure going to happen. ChromeOS already uses Skia so could be where they chose to tap into. But once again this has ZERO to do with this.

"it should be viewed as incrementally more bad news. "

Bizzare statement. GNU/Linux is using virtual drivers so if Fuchsia does a better and more secure job then all is good.

What you do not seem to understand is what Google has done is no different than if it was done on Windows or OS X.

It is purely a coincidence both are using the Linux kernel.

Running GNU/Linux on the client just got the biggest tail wind since it came out. This is a huge development for GNU/Linux on the desktop.

60% of K12 in the US is CBs. That is a big number of people now going to be able to use CBs to support things like AP CS 1 and 2.

BTW, how Google implemented is a huge plus to be intact if they moved to Fuchsia for ChromeOS not less.
GCP case study – Gorgias
If you're incentivized (as these incentivized crypto-assets are) to hold onto something until enough other people perceive it's value as being higher (whether tricked into it through various methods or other), needing them to legitimize and realize the value, then people will hold onto it - and they'll use part of their resources to bring other people into the game.

If society adopts these incentivized crypto-assets that $10B the could become valued at trillions of dollars, which then is buying power shifted away from society as a whole - and where those holders have done no work to actual make those gains. This attracts enough bad actors and incentives bad behaviour.
That seems like nonsense. If things are that much of a mess, internet & electricity will presumably be spotty and computers will cease manufacture (& slowly decay until failure). Better to have tangible currency. Will that be USD, or precious metals, or ammunition? I don't know, but I'd bet on something you can touch.
Bitcoin wouldnt be the currency for loans.

Bitcoin seems to be best for hording and spending. It holds value and can be transferred easy and cheap.

You can still have companies using currencies that incentivise loan/investing. Bitcoin currently exists and the loans keep being written.

I think as bitcoin grows its going to become big and boring. No 10x gains, not even 2x gains, like 10% swings over the course of a year. It wont be fun, it will be a store of value if you dont trust fiat. Right now I think its crazy undervalued which is causing the explosion of crypto. As BTC gets bigger, investment will start to look better as it provides better returns.
What is Warren Buffet’s cash holdings? There’s a good chance they are in Treasuries or Money Market accounts which mean that money is being used by banks or the government to loan and invest. It isn’t like he has a room in his house filled with cash. The idea that cash is being hoarded is absurd. On deposit at a bank isn’t “hoarding” as the bank is able to make use of that capital to provide loans. Without the “rich” “hoarding” cash, banks have less capital which means it’s harder for you to get a car loan because the supply of money available to lend would be less.

These class-warfare arguments are interesting because rarely do they actually include the benefits to the financial system. These arguments also make the assumption that governments are more efficient at spending money than individuals, a claim that just isn’t proven out by facts. Dead-weight loss is a real thing. Warren Buffet spending a dollar means a dollar goes into the economy. The the State of California spending a dollar means that perhaps $0.75 actually goes into the economy.

What you seem to be arguing for is redistribution. But redistribution has deadweight losses as well as the unintended consequences of changing behavior. Perhaps a new business wouldn’t be started if taxation were at 75% — the reward wouldn’t be worth the risk, so the new economic activity from the new business wouldn’t happen at all — the associated jobs and tax revenue from that new venture would be zero.

Individuals with a million dollars to create a business would create more than a million dollars in economic activity because they’d ostensibly be producing a product or a service which would result in more economic benefit than the taxable value of that million dollars. If government taxed that money at 100%, and just completely redistributed it, that would result in $1 million - x% actually reaching the economy because government doesn’t create any new value and in fact, it reduces value because of unavoidable deadweight loss. Not to mention government taxing that money at 100% means that money wouldn’t likely be earned in the first place — why even bother?
The article reads like machine- or cocaine-generated slop. There doesn't seem to be a single credible assertion in it. It has literally no point, as the author openly admits near the end of the article ("just my thoughts"), just before he closes by asking us to read his profound insights into why flying things shouldn't be heavy. This prose would receive a failing grade in a high school composition class.

I'm trying to resist the "Why is this on HN?" question, but can't. This is appalling dreck and doesn't belong here.
Bitcoin is a fiat currency. It's backed by nothing. Encryption keys, and bits on a disk, have absolutely no value whatsoever.

Review: Huawei’s P20 Pro Is A Shiny Phone With A Strong Personality
The P20 Pro is a solid successor to the P10 and a good alternative to other flagship phones, such as the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9.
But it isn’t the perfect phone either. Some features are missing for no apparent reason. Some of Huawei’s choices are also questionable...

In such a scenario, bitcoin will have no value. Localized disasters occur more frequently than one would expect, and in such disasters, a pure barter economy exists.

During the Bosnian War, things that became highly valuable were: bullets, liquor, antibiotics, lighters, and of course food [0]. Bitcoin, or any other currency, was the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Does investment really grind to a halt though? I'm thinking people would just demand a higher return on their investments before they parted with their cash. Recently, many countries had negative interest rates. So I suppose people were being incentivized to find "investments" that would return 0% on their money. Was that a good thing?

Also, inflation means everyone needs to be investors or the money they worked hard for evaporates. Why should we force Joe Sixpack into being an investor for the good of the economy? He should be able to focus on earning money from his trade without having to worry about investing due to inflation being forced upon him.
Yes.

When that will happen in your case is highly dependent on what you're doing, but it will happen. Eventually you will run into situations where implementing a single small feature requires changes to 3 or more systems, plus deploying all of those systems to all of your environments, code reviews for each service, etc. The overhead explodes as you break more things apart.
The problem with this line of thinking is it assumes a specific purpose, then name-calls based on that premise.

Maybe consumption isn't the goal and you're unaware of it. If I have as much food as a grocery store, I'm a hoarder because consumption is my goal. The grocery store isn't hoarding (or even saving) food because consumption isn't the goal. Retail sales are the goal.

Again, I'm not here to fight about economics. That wasn't my point. My point was ridicule isn't an argument. Calling someone a hoarder may make you feel good, but it isn't an argument.
And what exactly is the investment in?
I thought that might be it but did not seem to make any sense to say "post your code".

But what was inaccurate with my post? Or is this attack the poster?
I guess we're broadcasting it inadvertently anyway, with all the radio noise we create.
We've had gold, and it was a massive equalizer between major powers. If someone overspent, they had to be smarter until they regained their wealth.

Inflation has destroys savings for the masses who keeps cash more than investment. We've seen this a half dozen times in the last 100 years.

Key Management Systems will be an extremely lucrative business if anyone can come along and get it right. Coinbase could be a leading candidate to operate one, but the opportunity is there for a small player with top tier security talent.

Took me a while to find your comment which I fully agree with.

Most managers are unwilling to deal with situations like that. They immediately reduce the importance of it and try to (gently or not so gently) coerce both sides to just get back to work.

It's kind of sad but also rather interesting to learn to deal with such bullies quickly and efficiently.

(1) "Remember those 20 minutes of outage on production because you couldn't be bothered to check for a nil, smartass? How about you get the fuck out of here and let me finish this?"

(2) "If you never screwed up at work in your life then by all means, please fire me. Right here and now. No? Then get the fuck away, my contract doesn't include listening to people with anger issues. I can hand you a therapist bill later if you really wanna talk. I take $150 an hour. Bye."

...are the rough formats I almost always use, depending on if I caught the attacker making a mistake in the past or not. Bullies aren't ethical. They don't care if they hurt you. Most of them actually want to hurt you. And as much as we want to believe in organizational systems, my experience has been that 99% of managers simply don't care.

We must learn to defend ourselves. And yes that includes being aggressive yourself. As a guy who was severely physically bullied as a teenager I can tell you that bullies don't listen and respond to logic. They are hyenas: if they sense you are weak they will push their attack even further. Only when you show teeth and bite back hard will they back off.
At first glance, no obvious change.
> I've always got the impression that micro-services are a bad idea most of the time, apart from sometimes where they're not.

I'll argue that if you're building something, you should probably build it as a monolith, with the exception of some well-defined services (like authentication & authorisation). Once you've got version 1 built, then you know enough about the problem that you're ready to consider breaking stuff off into microservices (this is why auth^2 make sense to break off from the get-go: they're pretty well-understood at this point, so we all should know how to handle them).

Premature microservicement is the root of much evil. Trying to break things up into services before you actually understand the problem will only lead to tears & suffering.

Because they are Clevo. In my opinion the whole "linux laptops" are just a scam in general. Virtually all of them are just slapping their logo on top of generic machine from vendor like Clevo or Compal and are saying that those are "machines designed for linux" ... no they aren't. The most that they are doing is to negotiate with Clevo to put a WiFi card that will work with linux out-of-the-box, which is basically the same what you can do yourself.
Apple is just like any other western company - their shareholders and chiefs don't really give a fuck about privacy. They only care about their bottom line.

If China demanded that someone from your company sacrifice a new-born baby in order to do business there, I'm positive that we'd still have many, many western companies doing business in China.

The word 'hoarding' demonizes 'saving,' which in most Keynesian economies is considered leakage. It's really a question of values. Inflationary currencies encourage consumption; deflationary ones encourage savings. High consumption does increase demand, and apparently a faster growth in the economy. One could argue that this almost forced consumption for the sake of faster economic growth is what causes malinvestment and the associated boom-and-bust cycles.

One could be hesitant about spending away their Bitcoin to buy a shiny new bigger TV, while they'd happily part with USD for the same expense. Former, I'd say, has a more natural alignment with our incentives to spend thoughtfully.

Also, I am not sure if everyone shares the value of eating the planet at a faster rate for employment and GDP numbers.
Perhaps the clear difference in entropy between 23x73 and 73x23 renderings actually stresses the fact that the data conveys a thoughtfully arranged message of some sort.

REST is meant to be discoverable by humans, but actually coding to a "true" REST system, using only hypermedia, is a damn nightmare.
The thing you're missing though is that as $NEW_THINGs get more popular and more people try to implement them, they do it badly, spread their bad implementation as gospel, and that actually changes the popular definition into something barely recognizable that becomes $OLD_THING.

A few smart non-graybeards eventually play around with $OLD_THING enough that they actually stumble upon the original definition of it, but don't realize that they are really just rediscovering the original definition. So of course they (re)name their discovery as the next $NEW_THING. Then cue the graybeards.

fgrep is an obsolete command that didn't make it into POSIX.

I already mentioned the -F option of grep.

"fgrep is the same as grep -F" -- GNU grep man page.

I would expect that when the patterns in -f <patternfile> are treated as regular expressions, they are also combined into one regex.
Is there a more self-contained way of running trained models on devices like the Pi? Almost all tutorials I've come across always require me to install a lot of Python dependencies. I'd love to have classifiers installed as a single binary somewhere. I guess https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ is pretty close to that and I would imagine with a custom build wrapper around https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/master/tensorf..., the same could be achieved. Any hints?

Yeah, who would want to use ARM server, especially these days?
Performance and power efficiency is not the only story nowadays. Most modern cloud servers rely on virtualization technologies. AFAIK ARM is very weak in running VMs. AMD's AMD-V struggles with that too. Even Docker EE does not support ARM (CE does but it's not been a long time yet).
They've pretty much reached the point where they need to bang their heads to figure out something exciting sounding to add with each OS update. Because of how smart phone OSes developed people now expect a yearly update with some big change or new feature when they should just focus on security and stability at this point.

No, 1m^2 @24% eff in a great location gives up to ~2kw per day (or more using very expensive panels or tracking). A Tesla get's 315 miles from 100kwh battery. So that 6.3 miles or 10,100 meters. In comparison to 0.36 it's ~28,000x as good.

The author is incorrect about JSON in mysql. You can in fact index individual columns in your JSON. They end up being generated columns that you then index. Not as slick or mature as postgres, but it does exist.

Edit: audited the rest of the post. Author is otherwise correct. Occasionally ignores some (admittedly ugly) workarounds for some issues. All in all, great post.
This is doing it the hard way. Make the image a loop device:

losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/your/image.img

Now you can use /dev/loop0 like it's a normal disk. If you're not seeing your partitions (/dev/loop0p1, etc.):

partprobe /dev/loop0

When you're done, detach the loop device:

losetup -d /dev/loop0
