I would still disagree with this - federated decentralized services (think Mastadon, or PeerTube) are made up of smaller nodes. Each of those nodes are more tightly policed by smaller communities, and you subscribe to a subset of those communities that you care about.

This is great for moderation - Mastadon instances tend to be very focused and to ban bad actors quickly. It's bad for content discovery, because not all of the content is localized in one place.

It's a tradeoff, one that I'm increasingly suspecting is inherent to the debate over centralization, and one that I think might end up being a deciding factor for people choosing which direction they support. If you care about mass indexing and content discovery, maybe you just can't have moderation. If you care about moderation, maybe you just can't have content discovery or mass indexing.

Granted, decentralization is worse for censorship because bad actors can go off and make their own instance, and other people can still subscribe to them. But, censorship != moderation, those are two entirely different concepts that just occasionally overlap with each other.

This is assuming that you're talking about moderation that's more in-depth than just adding a captcha to defeat spammers. With the example you gave of hosting your own fileshare; Facebook has more resources to deal with a certain kind of attack - DOS, XSS, etc... but you're really only talking about a very small subset of attack patterns in that instance. I think federation makes most of those problems go away, because you can standardize purely technical defenses and for the most part they scale just fine across decentralized services.

The moment you start talking about hard problems of moderation like choosing which files you're going to host in the first place, the private SMTP server wins.

When I think about scaling moderation and curbing abuses, I'm not really thinking about the low hanging fruit, I'm thinking about curbing bad actors who are already actively participating on the platform, or who are coming up with novel attacks that don't have any one-size-fits-all solutions.

The complain is really less about Blue LEDs and more about high temperature white LEDs (5000K and upwards). Those really fuck up the circadian rythm.

A warm or natural white LED is much less harmful (3500K and under and 4000K respectively) and you can mix both. Only a few days ago I found a very interesting LED module that would mix both and use the natural white for full light intensity and mix over to the warm LED when you dim it via PWM or DC going as low as 2000K.

Myself, I built a LED RGBW controller and I use the Red and Blue channels to change the color temperature of the strip itself. The strips can be had for very cheap on chinese websites, individual LED modules with WS2812 pins cost less than a dozen cent. High powered LEDs of various temperature don't cost that much either.

It's not a hard problem and definitely solvable.
The majority of "vim users" are painful to watch using it solely in visual mode with arrow keys and pressing backspace like crazy when they want to delete something.
And the attitude being described above seems to me to border on religious "just trust us" dogma. I mean, one of the big things that's supposed to distinguish real science from pseudoscience and such is the ability to fairly easily and routinely reproduce its results. And if that's not happening, and in fact it's being actively discouraged, then that's a real problem!

"In fact, many of the initial 50 papers have been confirmed by other groups, as some of the RP:CB’s critics have pointed out."

I don't know that I would be willing to take a statement like that at face value. I once read of a scientist who claimed that there was absolutely no need to try and independently reproduce his work, since it was being routinely reproduced in college labs everywhere as part of other experiments - or something like that. To me that meant that it should then be trivial to reproduce these results when attempted by trained professionals who were specifically trying to do that very thing. So why the reluctance to allow that to happen?
NY has been a city for a long time. That doesn't explain why they are soaring now.
It's not hard to PWM by hand; it takes next to no resources.

Current limiting resistors don't really do great at lower strength; LEDs have far from linear responses and it's very constrained at the lower end that you want.

Because it's designed entirely for enterprise customers. If you have a startup you have very little reason to choose OpenShift compared to Heroku or AWS honnestly.

> I agree that voice is very narrow, but it's also quite expressible when there's a person to call someone and ask then grab something from the store for you.

Don't get me started...

For some reason, most normal people can't express their preferences - and they absolutely have them, which they'll be very happy to shout at you about when you come back with the wrong product. I've learned the hard way that when someone asks me to buy e.g. milk, I need to ask about brand, size, fat percentage, UHT or no, and which other brands/sizes/percentages are acceptable if the preferred one is not available - and I need to ask those questions before leaving.

Or maybe it's just me who wasn't born with mind-reading capability...

(And no, buying the "usual one" is not a good strategy, because there are good chances that they need a different one just this once, and yes, I was supposed to guess that myself.)
The Sodium Lamps normally used in Street Lighting have a very very narrow colorband (their color index is basically 0, if you look at something under sodium light, it's colorless other than the sodium yellow).

LEDs can be more easily adjusted and can have a wider color band plus you can use multiple modules and change color as needed (blue light in early evening when rush traffic is on and then going into narrowband sodium yellow for the night). It's a question of power delivery and PCB complexity that limits what you can do (controlling a high powered 50W LED isn't trivial)
One is unavoidable if you want to fly, the other is security theatre. It's reasonable to complain about policies which are ineffective even if the harm is small relative to other sources of radiation.
That's a bit of a mouthful. And it's generally a problem with all those voice assistants.
My guess is that the system reservation change was very welcome for me as well.

Note that a service as AKS also draws in new customers that may not yet have years of Kubernetes experience. I'm one of those for example, and I created an AKS cluster so we could deploy short-lived environments for branches of our product. We're using GitLab and the 'Review Apps' integration with Kubernetes.

The instability experienced by the author of this article is something I experienced as well, and I have spent a lot of time draining, rebooting, and scaling nodes to try and find out what is happening. I would not have been able to guess the absence of resource limits could possibly kill a node.

Fortunately these instabilities disappeared a couple of weeks ago after a redeployment of the AKS instance, and it has been stable ever since. I guess the system reservation change was included there? From my perspective that was also the moment AKS truly started feeling like a GA product.

Yes, I (again) noticed. First in your initial comment, and now again in your second comment. You really haven't even been trying. I'm not sure what kind of a reply you expect when you treat people like they're stupid, but if it's anything positive, you won't get it.
Haha... I have experience with Azure as well, seen both good and bad things. As I read the title, I was already quite sure to read such a post. When Kubernetes became popular, I tried it with Azure and both scripts and documentation were broken. When I found out, I stopped trying.

Regarding Azure in general: Azure Websites is c*. Having used Heroku and App Engine for some time before, this feels like a joke. Deployments sometimes work, sometimes they don't. Have to deal with node gyps? Don't, just don't. If you ever are forced to use Azure Websites (free startup package? ;)), learn Ansible as soon as possible and convince your team to switch to VMs.

The VMs are okay, you can't do much wrong with. I don't really know where the complexity of Azure Websites comes from, maybe from the fact that it runs on Windows, but this cannot be the full explanation. I have seen people work with node on Windows (even without Ubuntu on Windows) and they were fine. For anyone interested, this is the Azure Websites backend: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu

Disclaimer: my long adventure with it was years ago, maybe the service has changed 100% but I doubt it

A better option could be synthetic fuels produced using solar/wind from air and water. Some gas plants are already being converted to burn Hydrogen Peroxide instead, which can be produced from sea water using wind power. Of course a lot of that stuff might be obsoleted by improvements in batteries and other ways of storing energy.

Then there are a few projects that are attempting to convert co2 back into fuels using solar energy. Even producing diesel this way could become feasible. Of course scaling production up is going to take time.

A lot of this will ultimately be cost driven, the current fuel burn rate makes operating these vessels enormously expensive. Short term the cheapest option is simply to continue to burn huge amounts of oil. That's not going to get cheaper or better over time and will create incentives for people to become more creative.

The same is true in the aviation industry BTW. Fuel is the driving cost factor there. Anyone that can figure out how to slash that cost is going to get a lot of business. Right now solar and wind are enjoying exponential growth and price drops. Using that cheap energy to produce fuel might become feasible very soon and cost effective soon after.

I think you should really be more focus because ruby and Erlang have very little in common. Go is more for low level programming, Erlang not really, Ruby, is more about expression.

I mainly use macOS for example. At least on the systems where I use Emacs. I use Linux for servers, but I rarely do much editing directly on those systems.
This are all sort of very close to system frameworks itself. I would never write something like that in Python. This is a good example for golang.
That brought back memories.

When I was a kid I liked to poke around executables in the MS-DOS world. Hex editors were limited in the sense that they wouldn't let me insert bytes into the file, just edit existing ones. Because I didn't have access to an disassembler or an assembler (they were sold at stores but they were too expensive for me), I wrote a simple program that would convert a binary file into a text file full of hex codes, then I could edit that, change jumps to different addresses, change strings, and then I would reassemble the executable with another program to see the effect. I used this to translate programs and games to Spanish by changing the strings in the executable. Messages in Spanish are in
average longer than English ones, so I couldn't just use a hex editor.

It's funny to me that the hex file format is a real thing.
#NoEstimates isn't crazy
Sorry, I'm not smart enough for this comment to stick with me. Could you walk me through how 50% utilization means the savings go up in smoke?

The most compelling thing I can pull from your comment is "autonomous cars will be 3x as expensive as regular cars (at least), so you won't save anything". That may be short-term true, but is almost certainly long-term false.

A 50% utilization compared with 100% utilization makes almost no difference in vehicle cost structure -- if anything, it actually increases the labor fraction of taxi cost.

If you're driving your car 50% of the time, then wear and milage is the dominant depreciation factor (rather than age). But a human sitting around doing nothing but waiting for that 50% of the time doubles the labor (time) cost of the service, suggesting an even greater savings from eliminating the human driver.

Basically, they let an AI loose on a simplified version of Quake's Capture the Flag. The AI processes game video output only and has learned several key strategies. The latest update has the AI with a winrate of 71% against top humans. Unlike the DOTA match the AI has no restricted reaction time.

The AI seems to be jittering the camera left and right to reconstruct a 3D image reliable from the screen which is aquite interesting way to compensate for lack of 3D vision (and the compensation our brain is capable of naturally to get a 3D intuition from a 2D image)
The Gift of Menopause
I think it will feel awful, but in ways people cannot articulate and will blame themselves for.

A tiger born in a cage who experiences nothing but being fed every now will behave and feel very much worse than a free one. Children who were never treated with respect and never saw anyone else treated with respect don't suffer less harm in their development just because they don't know the difference.

I think at some very basic level, privacy is an obligatory requirement of becoming an individual person. An important part of the person grows when reflecting, when being alone with one's conscience, that's just as necessary as facing others. If you get all of either and none of the other, there's going to be a price.

Or take lead for example, if we increased our average exposure by a lot, that wouldn't mean that it now doesn't damage our central nervous system and organs anymore, not even for those who never knew lower levels of exposure. You can have the negative consequences without awareness of what is going on, and without any means to make it better.

A lot of the pressures already get relieved by consumerism at best, cruelty towards victims and identification with abusers at worst -- instead of being channeled towards the causes, it gets channeled towards what will make it worse. I think the rock bottom of that would a world unrecognizable even to Edgar Allan Poe.

One thing I wonder: how were the names chosen? E.g. I know what's meant with '(free)tek(k)no' and 'hardcore techno/rave' but I don't think anyone actually calls it like that. At least not around here. We use names like tek/hardcore/rave and that's 3 quite different genres. Maybe the names were picked to reflect a mix of what people call it?

Seaweed could be scrubbing more carbon from the atmosphere than expected (2017)
My experience with Pi-Hole is that there are too many sites that detect that their adverts and tracking scripts don't load and refuse to let you in. It's really hard to white-list for a site in Pi-Hole, as it's blocking for the whole network, so finding what domains you need to unblock is quite laborious. Additionally, if you are not around, and a family member or co-worker can't get to a site then they have no way to bypass it unless they also know how Pi-Hole works.

Personally, I find a browser based advert/tracking blocker add-on to work better.

If Pi-Hole had a webpage where you could put in a domain, i.e. cnbc.com, and it went off and loaded the html of that page, worked out all the other domains that html connects to, and then gives you a 'unblock' button to click, that would improve usability significantly, as even a non-techie user could use it.
For pure browser stuff maybe. The W3C still puts out some very very useful resources and standards not directly browser related that are important (such as AP and Micropub)
