Yes. A predisposition to finding agency where there is none is a key finding to both.[0] Its a coping method to randomness. Disease doesn’t just happen, someone did something to cause it. This person didn’t get away with a crime, they’ll be severely punished after they die. A random guy with a gun doesn’t just commit mass murder, someone powerful must of let him, or maybe even faked it. Even when there is a documented conspiracy to commit a horrific act, that’s not enough, because there must be an even bigger conspiracy to allow it to happen, because unacceptable alternative is that the good guys lost.

Ok, I thought you had in mind the kinds of folks who just thought e.g. that GWB or maybe Zionists faked the attacks. In which case it isn't an overactive intention detector but rather just partisanship induced delusion.

But yes. Illuminati type theories are something else again. Some people's intention detectors misfire so strongly that it is not enough that terrible events can be caused by an evil cabal that is merely trying to conquer us all.
Oof, that seems like a challenge.

I’m not sold on basic income, I think a solid welfare system would in effect be “basic income” for low/no income people, but By essentially having a tapering payout as the recipients earnings increase you resolve a number of issues BI produces.

I do think it’s an interesting idea to have essentially a private fund do a real world experiment, I’m just not sure of the long term feasibility. The problem you have is that the addition of a basic income does not result in any increase in the funds available to you. For a government back system, BI theoretically should result in an over all increase in tax revenue that can then fund said BI, while also reducing the amount spent on poverty related disease, illness, crime, etc. (to be clear I’m not saying poor people are criminals, just that some crime is a result of poverty - theft of food, “crimes” like prostitution, etc).

Anyway, good luck to you fine folk!

As someone that hasn't been using Python while the concept of "virtual environments" emerged I always found how many tools for managing them exist confusing. Eventually I tried to just create a virtual environment by hand, which turns out to be pretty straightforward, and wrote a short article about it.
I understood the claim as saying that redis itself isn't using the commons clause, and that it's only some enterprise redis modules that are adding the clause to their license.
Having not done any cloud work myself I have no clue how much this would cost, anyone able to give a rough estimate?
I am rather sleep deprived, so I may have misread things, but this doesn't seem to me to be the best benchmark to evaluate Ceph for database work.

From what I understand best practice in ceph for databases is to make a rbd image and format that with your filesystem of choice. I believe. The rbd stripe size should be tuned to you database writes in mind.

I believe ceph rbd supports rdma, but I cannot find much current details about it.
Big or small, they would have to duly disclose and release what they built from that tool.
Good.

One is not always required.

Given the current cost and state of education, it is rational to expect people to persue alternatives.
My current favorite solution for comments is Discourse — they actually have a great plugin for WordPress that replaces the default WP comments. Maybe overkill for some, but really nice when building a real community (ongoing discussion rather than drive-by commenting) is a priority. I could see this being a similarly nice solution for Ghost! Though simpler native commenting support would be cool too.
Similarly, some fire departments will do dexterity exercises like playing Jenga with rescue tools ("jaws of life" - https://www.jawsoflife.com/), and similar with ladder trucks and building blocks.
$5/month or less is a reasonable.
Isn't it one of the great assumptions of our age that everyone is "equal" and ought be proportionally represented in every endeavor? And that inequitable representation is evidence of a moral or actual crime against the under represented? (At least in cases when an official oppressor class is over represented and an official victim class is under represented. And also when participating in the endeavor is desirable.)
The primary contributor I'd say.
This was my takeaway. Amazon is basically squeaky clean as long as they avoid modules but everyone else just using a module on a redis install for a k/v database? You're now subject to additional license fees.

It's not as sexy as redis but Memcache has none of these license issues and would be sufficiently usable for k/v data where I work. It's not vaugely licensed either.

Congrats Redis Labs, you played yourself.
Serious question, are there any professional VPN companies? Dont most VPN companies depend on cloud providers for many locations too. Most VPN companies have had serious screw ups in the past. PureVPN - disable all encryption by default for performance on their Windows client - for example. StrongVPN I recall logging. Other popular ones recur billing at top whack after a year and refusing refund. Overloaded servers, port blocking and so on.
I do think pitch content is a useful metric. A lot of popular songs reuse a handful of common chord progressions. While the key and timbre may change from song to song, the tension and resolution of the chord changes, which can often be heard to have a certain feeling or emotional content in Western music, remains the same.
I learned Haskell from the "Gentle Introduction" (which isn't so gentle), then writing programs, reading documentation, and reading online discussions and threads.

Also our contracts jurisprudence should take more note of this kind of argument.
Hmm... the big question relating to depression and/or childhood abuse is did they check for hippocampal atrophy or dysfunction? I would suspect abused and depressed people have trouble enjoying most dopaminergic rewards.
Trustworthy? I could go either way, depending on particular scenario.

Usable? Infinitely. I've noticed quite a few web sites and services putting obnoxious blocks or filters or other impediments against users coming from "widely-known" VPN and VPS provider IP addresses. But few seem to bother with Microsoft or Amazon IPs.

So for something that has the purpose of either getting me out from behind a restrictive network or wrapping my traffic on an insecure network, a VPN to an Azure- or EC2-provisioned virtual machine works just fine.
> This attitude is how you get silliness like the idea that I can be prevented from reverse engineering software by an impersonal EULA. It's blanket permission to erode the rights of people who are in practice forced to comply with toxic aspects of an ecosystem.

Your issue is not with my attitude, it is with copyright law and property rights. Someone's right to license their software any way they see fit is not "toxic". You take issue to an erosion of rights that do not exist, and your participation in an ecosystem is voluntary. At it's core, you are demanding the ability to govern your use of property that is not yours.

EDIT: I don't believe the law to be unjust as to how it relates to copyright, code ownership, and licensing. We've reached an impasse.

I submit that lowest-bidder rules are patently absurd. People who have to deal with something day in and day out ought to have the authority to select a reasonable one.
Laws reflect attitudes, supporting unjust laws with your opinion sustains them. So yes, my issue is with your attitude.

EDIT: Since you've edited your comment to elaborate I'll respond in kind:

If by default I have the legal right to reverse engineer your software, and you can strip this from me with a 'contract' that amounts to a checkbox with text that nobody reads and therefore has no marginal cost to add enforceable boilerplate to, that is a basic perversion of the intent of contract law. Contract laws start from the premise that a contract should protect both parties. One sided contracts are in general antithetical to the goals of contract law:

https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/what-is-an-un...

A boilerplate click through disclaimer should not be able to prevent me from taking actions that the vendor finds inconvenient but are otherwise legal and nonviolent.

EDIT 2: To clarify, the portion cited as an "edit" above:

"EDIT: I don't believe the law to be unjust as to how it relates to copyright, code ownership, and licensing. We've reached an impasse. "

And it’s not much of a stretch. If we assume that an intelligent being can create both TIME and a rapidly expanding UNIVERSE, both of which we don’t fully understand, is it really that “fringe” for some to believe that our perception of “time” doesn't necessarily have to start at zero?
What is the best way to have a VPN in each continent (apart from the obvious option to have an instance in each region)? I used to pay for a commercial service, but I lost this functionality when I switched to a self-hosted solution.

I prefer this feature since I travel a lot and would like to have lower latency wherever I am.
That's OK. You've already learned more than enough. My life in Scala was just fine once I understood that a monad was just a data type that admitted a flatmap operation.

As I said in another thread:

Congrats!

And big thanks to developers and Valve who funded dxvk, vkd3d, esync and other Wine as well as Mesa work, while contributing everything in FOSS fashion. This benefits not just Steam users but all Linux gamers.
psexec is trivial to install and use: just download and run. At worst you might need to enable the RPC ports in the Windows firewall, which is also easy (even at scale thanks to GPO).
So I just want to ask about clairification. I am leaning toward liking this as it solves sole practical concerns for these types of businesses and projects but one small thing I’m struggling to understand is how it affects trainings and or consulting where you derive your income teaching people or integrating people with these systems

The language around that was very legalese if anyone has opinions
Both of which might be overregulation, but neither of which are relevant to the kind of laws being discussed here.

As an Australian, I have no idea how lax or strong the consumer protection laws are. I know they exist, and they are enforced by an identifiable, respected federal agency.

I have no idea whether the laws are good, or whether that
agency does a good job in general. In fact, I have very little notion of what I should expect from good laws and enforcement in this field.
Pretty cool.

I would move the download buttons up to the top though. I missed them my first few times.
I personally think is the most important economic trend in the world. As said, it works for books and movies to.

A word I don't see in the article or tweetstorm is commodity, which is the foundational unit of our economy. A commodity has the "old economy" property Gates is talking about where the 10th car costs the same to manufacture as the 1000th. A created thing where virtually all the expense is in the initial creation, after which duplication and distribution is virtually free, is no longer a commodity. As our entire economic system, and social system, is based in the end on the commodity as the base unit, this will have profound effects as time goes on.

The difference is the second company is earning money directly off the labour of open source software ... that and the fact that the second company is worth billions.

None of this would have happened if AWS etc had of supported the open source contributors and projects that they were relying upon in some meaningful way.

I actually support this move and wish RedisLabs the best of luck.
Well what do you mean by market pay? Because savvy engineers playing the SV game will say 300-400k total comp they get from FANG is "market". However that's assuming A) you can jump through the hoops to get one of those positions and B) you can stomach the politics of whatever team you happen to land on.

Neither of those things are much of an indicator of a good #1 engineer hire—yeah you want an above average engineer, but you don't want someone who is dependent on world-class tooling, world-class colleagues, or is so focused on tech that they can't see the forest for the trees of the business landscape they are in.

You need a solid engineer who is a hustler, willing to dive deep into whatever area is necessary, but doesn't fetishize some aspect of technology or become obsessed with implementing something in-house because it's an interesting technical problem. Current hiring practices are largely cargo-culted off of successful tech giants who face very different problems from what the average startup does.

If you find someone who gets it and has the skills to back it up then they deserve to be brought in with both a real salary and real equity because at this stage every hire is still life and death for the company. The challenge is whether you can recognize this person.
Well, the issue is of course that all wealth is relative. There is no absolute level of poverty except in death. The issue is, for both yourself and the previous post, where you draw the line.

Hunger, health, contentment, education, or self actualisation?

There is another level to this argument that is central to the reason why this inequality thing gets so much airtime (even though people, with views similar to what you have stated, don't see the problem). That is the secondary effects. At a certain level, the wealthy start to get a significant benefit just from being wealthy. They get to direct legislation to benefit further, they start to see themselves as deserving of their wealth, and their vice and their role. They start to see themselves as kings and the poor as a lesser kind of human (and historically as inhuman).

This is the biggest reason for equality. If you can solve the proclivity of wealthy people toward self interest and dehumanisation of their fellow human, then by all means get as rich as you please.
Uhh... that completely misses the point.

Sure Impressions only has two chords... but Giant Steps, another Coltrane tune essentially has 5 chords every three bars and modulates in that time as well. They're very different charts by the same artist. And even with Impressions they really didn't play it safe nor did they play it straight dorian in the solos either (much less so than Miles did with the same two chords). Depending on which recording of Impressions you're referring to, I wouldn't call Eric Dolphy's bass clarinet on "India" a common timbral choice either and on the same album as Impressions.

The point was over a large body of work there is much more homogeneity today than there use to be. While we can bicker about their data and study approach, the gist of their conclusion is not necessary invalid or stupid. Maybe their methods are...

[edit for clarity] Before anyone thinking about it jumps on my case... yes I know Giant Steps is 16 bars with four bar phrases or "stanzas" if you prefer... but to my ears the fourth bar in each group, while structurally important overall, functions more as embellishment and transition harmonically, melodically, and (a bit less so) rhythmically setting up the next phrase... the first three bars in each group are really the focus and point. (sorry had to get that off my chest).
I don't think that's an accurate characterization of Republican rhetoric. They frequently argue that markets free from government interference will be more competitive. It is perfectly reasonable to hold them to account for that line of argument and to insist that markets need to become more competitive and not just more free from government interference.
The US prison system will probably be the first way somebody fulfills the one million jobs RFS https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs/#million

Find a way to sell a service the prisoners can learn to do through apprenticing with experienced prisoners (b2b sales, data analysis, ect), find a way to get companies to contract your inmates, find a way to proof it from bad inmates making politicians look embarassed by limiting the scope of the service to something they can't use for crime, find a way to get prisoners to agree by paying them the state min wage,find a way to get prison workers and public to agree by making it as non disruptive to set up as possible, hire former inmates who worked for you to manage the on site operations, counter 'this is slavery' criticism by hiring prisoners themselves to be your company PR. Prisoners can pay off their conviction fines and at the same time save money for release to land soft. Pitch this to YC and get funding to conduct some kind of data gathering to guage what politicians and public would be comfortable with (types of offenses permitted to work, industries that are least adversarial to this model so willing to work with your prisoners, ect).
It depends what you want. If you're trying to obtain some degree of anonymity, then a personal VPN server is obviously much worse, since you'll be a using a dedicated IP address just for you, instead of sharing a public one.

But if you just want to secure your data from an untrustworthy local network, it's a reasonable choice. You're less likely to be flagged as connecting from a "bad" IP.
Lyrics are guaranteed to improve over the very long term, as language change gradually renders old lyrics literally unintelligible.

There may be an objective sense in which a song from thousands of years ago has better lyrics than one from today, but nobody can perceive it through the language barrier.

True, but that assumes that Redis is the only one capable of coming up with commercially relevant features. If the community fork of Redis gets commercially relevant features, then Redis will have to do work to re-implement them.

Moreover, that assumes that said commercially relevant features are compelling enough for people to upgrade from the unencumbered version of redis that they have to the encumbered version.
What if the first company is also worth billions and hasn't contributed anything upstream? How is that any different?
I don't see how the GPL helps. AWS etc make money by providing Redis as a service, which the GPL allows. If most of the work they have done is to support Redis, rather than changing code in Redis, nothing changes.
Music is global, but it's also infinitely more diverse than it's ever been. There are no record company gate keepers anymore. There are more artists and genres than anyone can keep up with. A ton of it is fantastic, but it's so hard to find among the garbage :)
> It allows the programmer to express intent.

Can the programmer express the intent that this will not overflow? i.e. is it possible to coerce the Rust compiler to optimize (x*2)/2 to x? "Cheap hardware traps" cannot substitute for such a compile-time optimization.

> C seems pretty hopeless since there is no way to know whether or not the coder intended on overflow or not.

Well this doesn't matter: if signed arithmetic overflows the code is undefined, regardless of intent.

In practice comments can express intent, and unsigned arithmetic can with some finessing produce most codegen. Explicit operators would be a big improvement though.
Just make sure that you're staying within safe listening levels as to not damage your hearing.
It'd need to be clearly marked — the promise we make in Debian ``main`` is quite strong: if you install it, you can use it for any purpose, modify it, share the changes with your neighbour, etc.

And (although not explicitly codified, we touch on it in "must not contaminate"), you can install Debian on a system, install any package in ``main``, then clone the resulting disk and redistribute it as an image. This precludes having things like ``zfs`` in ``main``, as (last time I reviewed it), it was pretty clear that the resulting combined work was probably not redistributable.

(N.B.: I'm on the team that maintains ftp-master.debian.org, and reviews all new software for DFSG-freeness, amongst other qualities)
I feel like this policy of all HN Articles having to use the original article title is working at cross purposes. You can’t remove the clickbait from the title because that’s ‘editorializing’

I think it's important to question what this means, lest we reward inept agencies with more money. Not to say that the agency that did take this long would necessarily be inept, but if you give access to the sufficient data for let's say a post-doc of appropriate background, would it be reasonable for this single person earning scraps, as post-docs are wont to do, to take e.g. 8 years? It's just quite a peculiar issue.

I actually tried running Algo through Azure and Microsoft terminated my Azure account citing I was breaking Terms of Service. I had hosted Algo for all of two and a half days before the takedown.

Not sure if anyone else has had luck - that was all I was using Azure for was to test Algo out so had nothing else running on Azure at the time. I also ran into a few snags trying to deplay Algo onto Azure so haven't bothered trying to set it up elsewhere. My goal of the VPN was to get a JP address as a few sites I browse are easier to browse with a JP address (eg: I don't get forced bad English translations with no way to toggle to the JP version of the site because I'm coming from an American IP...)
That's true. Terrible songs (like Sylk-E Fyne's "Romeo and Juliet") are completely forgotten very soon while the really good songs are never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

Same here, ive read between 100 to 200 fiction fantasy books it feels like I've seen every plot variation by now. It gets stale after awhile. Same applies to video games too.

Also once you've read some of the best authors in the genre everything else is just less impressive
