Yet most of the old technologies we've invented are still used by hobbyists and collectors. Morse hasn't ceased to exist, neither have steam trains, analogue radio or horses. None have been forgotten. People are still making crystal sets and wave traps. There's a whole niche on YT of people making primitive huts, fires, bows or making it their weekend hobby through re-enactment etc.

Some of the details are lost like maintenance details, advanced fault finding etc, but the core remains.

After a century of radio and electricity it would be rather silly to only search for other signs of life on the new system of FTL communication we just discovered. It still gives no certainty that the candidate alien discovered the same defacto standard for FTL comms or that theirs will be recognisable.

Any rational search should try and encompass both and probably still emphasise the analogue as any advanced civilisation would very likely go through that phase first, just like we are. We'd be likely to catch more possibilities that way.
What amuses me is the fact that we are so obsessed with finding civilizations that have an equal or superior level of technology than we do... If such civilization does exists, and if they are anything like us... Our history show us things will NOT end well for us!

The more advanced civilization will eventually (always...) conquer the less advanced civilization when in need (or desire...) for resources.

It is like if a deer were obsessed to find the hunter that will put its life to an end...

If the question we are trying to solve is "Are we alone?" we have better try to look for "less advanced" forms of life, like marine animals or something like that...

Otherwise we will get the kind of reply we are not looking for... IMHO

The law states you have to include a statement like this in the letter:

Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved.

If you don’t it should be dismissed outright.
It does very little that can cause an error:

func SetCookie(w ResponseWriter, cookie *Cookie) {
if v := cookie.String(); v != "" {
w.Header().Add("Set-Cookie", v)
}
}

If you want to set the header "Set-Cookie" to the empty string instead of not sending the header, you can just call w.Header().Add("set-cookie", "") yourself, I guess.

Advice from a commenter: Put away the headline.

Out lives are saturated with headlines. We see them in cars, subways, and airplanes. We access them with our phones, computers, and GPS devices. There are headlines of deep space and of the topography of the deepest ocean floors. Then there are the headlines of us — of our genomes, of the cognitive landscape of our brains, of the web of neural connections that allow us to see and think and act. Our faith in the headline as a true representation of the article, and a reliable metaphor for experience and the concepts of modern life, is exercised every day, largely without question.

Describing the amount there is and that it exerts gravitational pull says almost nothing about it, assuming it's as complex as anything else in the universe.
I'd personally prefer that the low-level core library just handle encoding and decoding. Any rules you want to add on top of that, just add on top of that.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truckload of hard disks.

Latency hardly matters when the majority of the lag is the 100 light year leg: you first spread out your whole message to the surface of the filter with a high bandwidth distribution medium. Then each section of the filter switches in sync, encoding the message without relying on a real-time input from a central location light seconds away
33 Strategies of War, Robert Greene.

It's about dealing with conflict. Resource management, especially in regards to conflict. Emotional management on a group level. And it applies to conflicts with yourself as well.

All of us have some kind of conflict to deal with, whether it's an unruly client, bullying boss, emotionally draining relative, burnt out staff. The book covers strategies in dealing with them. It even starts with covering how to identify people who may be enemies acting as friends.

While it sounds aggressive, a lot of it covers on how wars are best won without ever having any fighting. Sometimes you can just discourage people from attacking you. Sometimes you have to decide to withdraw, to engage, to intimidate, or to handle it from a much higher level, distracting or draining their resources before they can attack you.
The bill was in gestation for 2 years. It's over 200 pages. They allowed 28 days for comment.

We do know that we don't know what we don't know though, which should hopefully reduce the urge to make overly confident statements about the limits of reality.

I think this doesn't translate so directly into space. If they are thousands of light years away, then they will have plenty of other planets nearby to harvest for resources.

Indeed, for more and more people Docker is just the standard packaging solution. It's like saying "why use packages? You can just download the source and dependencies, then compile it manually".

The primary issue here though isn't open source vs not, it's how updates and changes are rolled out.

What you're actually looking for is a phone where you manually initiate updates, and where it's guaranteed that change in behavior (e.g. theough experiments) can only be controlled through the device and not remotely.

With OS it's more likely to get that, but not guaranteed.
The thing that pisses me off, more than anything, is that huge companies like Amazon take advantage of a society and lobby for laws more favourable to them until society reaches a breaking point in tolerating it. Small businesses are already pretty much dead in the water by the time that happens due to the anti-competitive nature of these behemoths. And then the government decides to crack down and regulate and once more it's always the small businesses that suffer the most or go out of business.

A self-regulating free market with competition would be beautiful but at this point we're past that and this scorched earth policy has to end somehow because it's a race to the bottom.
Depends on the kind of data. Check out cartopy, descartes, rasterio, geopandas.
Sorry to hear that. Is the prototype demonstrated in their video a fake? Or something that could not be mass produced?
You're projecting and reading something that isn't there. How is the title "fake" and "misleading"?

The title is: "Google remotely activated battery saving more on multiple people's phone today", which they did (saw it on my own 2XL). That's it. That's a fact. There's no mentions of Google hacking anybody's phone.
I think op just meant that it was towed for an arbitrary time limit that was not defined. If they said a vehicle must be moved at least once a week there would be no complaint or confusion in the situation. I am down voting your comment because name calling did not add to the discussion for me.

We have absolutely no idea whether the universe or its complexity are infinite. With that out there, it leave the possibility that no matter how much knowledge we amass, it's at best infinitesimal in comparison to all that is possible to know, and at worst, our models will be completely contradicted by some new knowledge that puts previous learning in a different context.
People pay becaise they get value, time savings, etc...

It is not to keep the economy productive. That is an artifact of real value.

And, "keeping the economy productive" can mean making things for people that seem like they have value, but maybe break early, or have some catch.

Just saying..
Yes, it's called [The Learning System](https://www.ibm.com/it-infrastructure/z/education/master-the...). I've done it twice, it's fun. You get the same tasks the students get, which is (on the whole) a nice tour around the system.

And nobody keeps you from playing around and writing and compiling a few programs on your own. It's a virtual system which gets reset when they start a new round. And I'd assume they've set up proper resource controls so you can't damage stuff.
> turning on/off certain features without the user's consent.

I think that in practice, that applies to only the privacy sensitive features. Would you be upset if suddenly they rolled out a feature that reduced battery consumption by 10%?

This particular case was obviously a bug, but I suppose every software manufacturer is continuously doing A/B testing, and 99% of time the user would not even notice. I would be surprised if Google was not doing A/B testing, and did not have the whole framework for doing it.
The can kicking only makes the eventual crisis even worse. Real estate is one area of weakness waiting to blow but debt, especially local government and SOE, is definitely another.
The replication crisis is larger than the social "sciences". Microbiology is also affected, and I've even seen evidence that occasionally computer science is affected, though to nowhere near the same extent and for different reasons.
I've played a lot of AirConsole and they completely destroyed the platform when they introduced their monetization platform. I don't mind having to register or watch ads but it's completely broken. Nowadays we never manage to play a single game without someone getting stuck in an ad on their phone, which means the whole game stops working for everyone.

It's a shame because it used to be really awesome. In the early days you didn't even have to register for an account, just boot up the webpage on your phone and enter the code on the big screen.
What gets me about when giant corporations such as Sony or others absurdly overreach like this is that they never publicly say sorry.

Just saying “sorry the process got confused, of course we don’t own the works of Bach” would go a long way.
Reading is input. To be successful, you have to produce output. If you spend too much time on input, there's not enough time for output.

Yes, k8s would make it even easier, if you had access to a hosted k8s cluster. But that isn't what DigitalOcean provides.
> people still expose Docker over the internet -- which is literally a free root-level RCE for anyone who figures out you're hosting it

By default, docker-machine (which sets up internet-accessible docker instances) uses TLS client certificates, so no, this does not give a "free root-level RCE". This is just spreading FUD. (This does not detract from the parent's point that "access to docker.sock" == "root on the host". That part is true.)
I thought a lot more people had heard of AirConsole!

Obviously the performance is bad for games requiring quick response times but with that said there are a couple of ones you would think wouldn't work with the delay/lag but actually work fine (racing games). The best games are the party games though.
I like to see open source backers going public, they give a boost to open source community who want to share but do not want to just spend energy where they cannot get something out of it (money/fame/recognition or just a satisfaction of doing good). I am sure the people are proud of their work. Good luck with the IPO!
It needs especially committers with sufficient reputation on other stackexchange sites, which is the only thing holding it back right now.

Maybe one should start a discussion on meta-stackexchange that the usual criteria are not a good fit for that one, because many of the committers don't use other stackexchange sites that much.
Especially while the planets aren't the first place you go to harvest resources.
We've had several FOSS based phones. The problem is that no one buys them, their finances dry up and the whole thing goes down the drain.
It all depends on what sort of resources they are looking for, no one is crossing light years to come steal water from us, when there are other planets that have water (perhaps as ice) and would be undefended. However if they needed territory and the earth had an environment that was hospitable to them then yes they might very well travel light years to invade.
I think domain specific judgement is what computers excel than human.

What human has advantage of is utilizing knowledge in unrelated domain to another domain.

Would you be upset if suddenly they rolled out a feature that reduced battery consumption by 10%?

If you're talking about battery saving mode, I would be upset if they activated the feature (turning it on) without my consent, yes. I don't have issues with Google pushing improvement to their code via OS updates.
The "without your permission" bit is where you're probably wrong. But I agree with your sentiment that it's unsettling.
Perhaps they are trying to attract contact from less advanced species to find planets supporting life, so they can have more meat in their diet...

Resources are not solely iron ore etc.
“Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws — always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good" — not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.”

I would start arguing about the semantics of "causing an error" here, but I don't think it would as productive as reducing it down to this question.

If I as a client of this library call "SetCookie", and after the call, a cookie has not been set (and I was not notified), I would call that an error (or fault, or whatever), independent of implementation.
Remote possible anywhere in the world?
Whoever wrote that part of the net/http package probably wanted `Cookie` to fulfill the `Stringer` interface, so the compromise was to use an empty string.

Mildly reminiscent of x/crypto/acme/autocert only having supported TLS-SNI because it made for more elegant code and the other methods didn't, but that's probably too cynical an interpretation.
One problem with things like this is the arrogance of the present. We had no idea that electromagnetic energy even existed until the later half of the 19th century. Even though it had been observed for centuries that lightning strikes could screw with a compass needle, we somehow never managed to put two and two together. Kind of funny in hindsight. Consequently all of our predictions for the future were cast through this lens. So their ideas of futurism was limited to things such as undersea exploration, flying machines, and ideas like covering an entire city in a roof so you wouldn't get wet while walking about.

Now we take electromagnetism for granted and can observe it everywhere, as it has always been. Yet the problem with this is that now, in order to have any meaningful discussion of the things of which you're speaking, you have to make the very questionable assumption that there will no longer be similarly revolutionary forces we will discover in the future. And so there comes a question of weighting that. What are the odds of that being true?

Our species' entire basis of knowledge is formed, almost exclusively, around observations based on one planet, in one solar system, in one galaxy. Everything else is just reasoning based on incredibly coarse observations of everything else. I think the idea that that we're even remotely close to unlocking the true nature of our universe is not really logical by any measurement other than 'well we're trying really hard and haven't been able to make that next step yet' which has, of course, been true throughout our species entire existence -- until that next step is invariably made. The increasing difficulty does not indicate anything like evidence of approaching an end to revolutionary discovery itself. Yet if we're not at the end then any meaningful big picture or very long term predictions are going to serve as little more than the butt of jokes for those with the opportunity to read such predictions from the future.
Ask HN: What should I do with a pile of cash?
I've recently come into a decent pile of cash, about $7M before taxes. I have never seen this amount of cash in a personal bank account and honestly have no clue what to do with it. My current naive plan is to pay the taxes, and then let it sit in some index funds. Beyond that, what should I do?
False. Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
So, yet another SSO options, but implemented by companies that are infamous for poorly-implemented software, screwing customers for a few more cents, and security breaches?
We need more transparency from companies, this time it was a 'bug' that was visible to the end user (hey! who turned on power saving?). Would Google go public if they also develop a 'bug' that is not visible easily by the user or if it was not discovered by anybody but them? Like a 'bug' that changes certs temporarily to intercept your encrypted traffic or uploads random data elsewhere, etc?
One would hope this was tested before the material was put on the market.

> the design and quality of manufacturing is on par with Apple

You've got to be joking. Huawei is decent for the money but it is not even in the same ballpark as Apple. In the everyday experience of owning and using the device the iPhone is dramatically better in every way imaginable.

Just because they managed to put the screen on straight doesn't mean it's a competitor. You're probably being downvoted because it sounds like you've never actually used a high end iPhone. I've encountered many huawei phones in mobile testing and it's simply inconceivable that any educated consumer would prefer them over the Apple offering except for the sole consideration of price.
This is so cool, I really wish there were an open source alternative.
Isn't that a bit of a marketing issue as well? I am tracking development of Fairphone, puri.sm Librem5 and e.foundation (just released beta version, based on LineageOS). Do you have pointers to the FOSS OS'es you refer to?

> Furthermore, your implication seems to be that because the US government does things that are morally wrong, Americans who believe in human rights are somehow not credible when they criticize other governments in addition to their own. That is absolutely nonsense.
