Out of interest, have any self-hosters here tried one big machine with lots of VMs, as opposed to a stack of NUCs/Pis?

The recent Intel scares have got me interested in firmware and Libreboot again, and a HN commenter[0] pointed me at some extremely beefy (e.g. 16 cores!) AMD motherboard/CPU combos, that it’s possible to run fully-free firmware on.

Without doing much actual research, Xen on a big box seems like it could be a good way to have a single physical machine where I ‘deploy’ different services in VMs.

Anyone gone this route, or can think of any problems with this approach? It seems like it could be a little easier to manage, but I’m sure there are extra considerations for networking and security.

>America is also supposed to be a country of redemption and second chances

>We foster risk-taking, and we don't throw away people who seriously screw up

These are things some Americans would like to be true, but are actually far from true, and far from universally supported. America IS a cruel society in many ways. Many Americans blame the poor for being poor, and do not support any form of public assistance. The nation does "throw away" people who screw up - the nation has a high incarceration rate.

Yes, airing the problem as publicly as possible would be the right thing to do, out of respect for the readers of the journal.

Removing the paper from the publication record is acceptable, as long as it is done very openly, as a kind of "erratum".

In electronics/electrician-speak, "tranny" is also commonly used to refer to transformers, but I'd never confuse that meaning with the automotive one nor the gender one given the context.

Sort of fits in to the more general point that we Europeans mostly drove smaller, cheaper cars with fewer luxuries.

The basic model, no frills European car still comes (here in Ireland) with manual transmission, manual windows (at least in the back), no Aircon (heater/fan only), no cruise control...

Since there are a lot of these, it's what people are used to, and they keep driving manuals.

Idk if Americans have ever really bought many nissan micra-esque cars.
I'm European but as many don't have a clear idea of how this will work.

At my understanding, there will be discussions about the amendments and another vote, like the one we had two months ago. Is it right? There is still time to act, right?

Also, is there a place to see who voted what? Elections are close and those choices could impact the vote of many. I knew Votewatch but I don't know if it still doing it, saw some excel file going around last time and wondering if they are being updated, to see who changed ideas.
Gambling, both online and at casinos is perfectly legal in Belgium (and most EU countries) so this is not in any way about making gambling illegal. This is just about making companies that sell gambling 'products' adhere to the regulations that exist for gambling.

A full time live at home nanny costs $60-70k in a major metro area, substantially more than what a typical man makes. And nannies typically do not do cleaning, so add another $10k for maid service.
throwing in all these requirements leaves you with a definition of capitalism that pretty tightly matches the system we have right now. This is my main issue with criticisms of capitalism - they (rightly) criticise the system we live with right now but instead of looking into individual rules, entities and interactions that cause the problems, we declare that (to quote the comment I objected to) "it's not clear [...] that one can have the baby without it spoiling the bathwater.". It's terribly reductionist to take a complex interlocking system and say "it's not working, we need to get rid of it!" because chances are that the problems could be fixed within the system itself.

Or in software terms, I think our current form of capitalism is in need of refactoring, not rejecting as fundamentally broken.

It's not totally over yet, both the final vote and the implementation in member countries can disarm the worst parts of the directive.

You'd think so, but a little googling shows me that an optimistic estimate is that 1-2% of US Americans that go hungry once in a while because they cannot afford food. Some sources, such as those cited by wikipedia [0], put the number as high as 5-6%.

(Now we could have a debate on the meaning of 'starving', but let's just say there is a broad area between skipping a few meals and dying from lack of food that is all covered by how people use the word.)

There is a pretty high threshold before book learning provides any payoff. The minimum cutoff that some employers take seriously is 12 years of school or the equivalent. Lets guess the guy selling pens is at a grade level of half that. If he could self-teach at the same rate as the education system would advance him (unlikely), that is still 6 years of sitting in a library before reaching the first threshold of significance (GED). Self-teaching is not a likely road out of a desperate situation!

I'm a FIFA player and this is a complex situation. "Packs" in FIFA are not solely used for cosmetic items but for actual virtual players with distinct play characteristics.

EA are trying to turn FIFA into a eSports game (see the recent FIFA eWorld Cup) and the majority of play takes place in the "Ultimate Team" mode. To get the high calibre players you'd use to build up your experience and reputation in UT you either need to make a ton of coins to buy them or buy "FIFA points" with real money and open the packs.

It's pretty standard practice for the higher end players to throw money at these packs to build up teams early on, so I suspect this move will put Belgian players at a disadvantage (it's not a total nightmare as you can buy most players in 'standard' varieties for a lot less, just not the in-form ones you'd use in competition play).

Of course, at the end of the day, it's still just a game.. :-D

The problem with a cashless society is, much like global warming, politicans have dug themselves a literal grave on the policy. It takes a really special kind of totalitarian a-hole to actually believe any tax, like a carbon tax, could save planet earth. Conceptually, on an academic level, that's right up there with blame the jews for our woes and lets gas them, or lets enslave the savages and breed them for fun and profit. We don't discuss new technology, or restricting reproduction\austerity measures, or hard science. And we certainly don't put money into a space program to, at the very least, give people hope for the future so they can accept some pain now because hey, thats hard. Nope, a Tax will save the world. As soon as you float that idea, People intrinsically know you are detached from reality and are the kind of dangerous where you'd kill 99% of the population to make a buck, and they take the logical steps of demonizing and ignoring you and defend their lives. Heaven forbid the research and consensus is completely true and accurate.

Similarily, we have all kinds of social problems that are caused by what exactly? We don't really fully know, and heaven forbid we ask people, or request they participate in surveillance and research for communal profit and post the data publicly. It takes that same special kind of a-hole to think standing up a surveillance state so that they can continue to engage in the bias of believing in whatever they want to believe in and try to drag everyone else along with it is a good idea. That is what is really going on here. You are the product, and what do we do with products when we're done with them? When government and corporations become the consumers, it turns everyone and everything into literal trash.

The chinese government has shown, repeatedly, their ignorance and arrogance on the world stage. I certainly hope the best to them in building an ideal society, and they have a lot of work to do learning their way through that one. I hope they come to find a better way and that I am wrong. But I'm not holding my breath.

You can get a simple prescription at the first consultation. For what I remember 10yrs ago, to see a specialist, you need to go to you general practitioner first. Then he will decide if you need a referral.

Edit: you can go directly to a specialist or not follow the « health path », you will just get less reimbursed. Some specialist can be seen without referral (gyn, psy...)

You're too focused on money and you may be misunderstanding my point. Price is always based on supply and demand so the nicest house is going to command the same price on the open market regardless how nice it is. The same is true for low end housing. Keep in mind its production which improves peoples life. Money is just a tool to help an economy function.

Think of it like a hockey team. If your 4th line Center isn't good enough (or you don't have one) you're better off to add a player that is better than your BEST Center because that improves your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th line. Improving your worst Center only improves your 4th line. Its like that but houses instead of players.
A few threads seem to believe that the minimum wage is high enough / need not be increased. I don’t actually want to argue about mechanism, but think that it’s imoortant to note that the math says our (current) minimum wage is demonstrably insufficient to remove poverty.

With the Federal minimum wage currently at $7.25/hr, that’s just $15k/year at full-time. That puts many minimum wage workers below many countries’ average wages [1]. But that’s before adjusting for purchasing power parity.

Being a single earner on minimum wage effectively guarantees you and your family will be in poverty in the US. That is effectively not true in most countries in Europe, even the poor ones. You don’t get to live well or anything, but you certainly aren’t planning on poverty.

[1] California, and San Francisco in particular, have a higher minimum wage but also higher expenses. Worse, many low-education workers are waitresses, which often have a “tipped minimum wage” as low as $2.15/hr before tips (again, San Francisco doesn’t do this, but it’s expensive to live here).
European parliament gives thumbs up to controversial copyright reforms
The story isn’t about immigrants, they are still willing to work the jobs, as you point out. Instead it’s an example of how the narrative of “if immigrants didn’t cause low wages then Danes would work the jobs” isn’t always true.

It’s not just that it’s hard labour either, it’s also that handling fish is extremely low prestige.

So the story is more about the nuances and complicated nature of the job market. It’s easy to blame immigration, and it’s not like immigration doesn’t have an impact, it’s just that there are a lot more forces at play.

> Microsoft has fallen in the market-share of OSs, can no longer be considered monopolist move.

That's not how anti-trust works. Just because a player does not hold as much of a market they used to, does not mean they do not have a monopoly or cannot abuse it.

Microsoft absolutely has a monopoly on the desktop OS market. And even without that monopoly this is abuse. With monopoly, this becomes abuse of their power in addition to being abuse of their users.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I guess what I should have said is that those things are parts of the American mythology, and I would really like the country to start living up to them.
Can't say I didn't expect this, or the politicians' "I can't and don't have to tell you why I voted like that" attitude. (see ericdykstra's comment).

Funny things is, MTG cards are produced in Belgium; and now there is MTG: Arena, where you can either earn boosters; or pay for them with real money.

The basic tweak is overprovisioning. If the computer is not busy it will get tasks done on time and not freeze up. If it has too much work to do in a time frame than it is not going to get it all done. The one thing it can really do differently is abort a task early when it is clear that that task can't be done on time, but then you will get complaints from the people whose tasks are responsible from that task completing.

Is there anything stopping a search engine like Google choosing not to link to a newspaper? Surely they can’t be required to link to a newspaper AND then pay that newspaper to do so?

The trade-off if Google chose not to link to the newspaper would be a (slightly) less useful search engine, but the cost to the newspapers would surely be higher in the long term…or am I missing something?

Is this really so different to what Windows 10 has always done though? When you run Chrome/FireFox for the first time, it will tell you that Edge is amazing now and that you should consider using it instead. It seems they're just showing the recommendation earlier now.
