So, just to be clear:

1. Google Maps used to include a blurb about Malta from Wikipedia, and a link to the Wikipedia page about Malta.
2. They now include a blurb about Malta which is not from Wikipedia, and do not link to the Wikipedia page about Malta.
3. You are upset that they no longer include a link to the Wikipedia page about Malta.

Is this correct? If so, it seems like your frustration is about Google choosing not to include & link to information from Wikipedia, rather than them displaying content from Wikipedia.

>Systems that guarantee consistency only experience a necessary reduction in availability in the event of a network partition. As networks become more redundant, partitions become an increasingly rare event. And even if there is a partition, it is still possible for the majority partition to be available

In my experience, yes network partitions are incredibly rare. However 99% of my distributed ststem partitions have little do with the network. When running databases on a cloud environment network partitions can occur for a variety of reasons that don’t actually include the network link between databases:

1. The host database is written in a GC’d language and experiences a pathological GC pause.

2. The Virtual machine is migrated and experiences a pathological pause

3. Google migrates your machine with local SSDs, fucks up that process and you lose all your data on that machine (you do have backups right?)

4. AWS retires your instance and you need to reboot your VM.

You may never see these issue if you are running a 3 or 5 cluster database. I began seeing issues like this semi regularly once the cluster grew to 30-40 machines (Cassandra). Now I will agree that none of the issues took down majority, but if your R=3, it really only takes an unlucky partition to fuck up an entire shard

Is it really less confusing that + for numbers has another meaning that + for a newtype that implements Num?
Too much is false to explain it, like half of the article. So I just called it out instead. I know it's not very convincing, but I'm not getting paid to write giant FUD/PR posts like they do. I work on distributed stuff completely independently.
The middle part of 'CAP Twelve Years Later' [1], especially the part about 'Managing Partitions', and the associated diagram, really should be mandatory reading for anyone who invokes CAP, as it drives home the fact that a partition creates alternate universes (invariants), which have to be reconciled after the fact, and points out that allowing reads only is a valid strategy to provide Consistency (erroring out on writes), while systems that choose to provide Availability (trying to fulfill every transaction) will find themselves in a situation where they have to reconcile mutations that happened in separate universes, exactly like a version control system would. It also provides some strategies on how some write-like operations could be done to minimize disruption to existing state, such as recording the intent to mutate some data in a way that enables duplicates to be discarded later, and for the mutation to be performed at a time that it is safe.

The author of the HN-featured article is the formulator of the PACELC theorem, which makes clear that replication is mandatory and thus always propagates state that needs to be reconciled. The ability of nodes to freely communicate with one another means that it's possible to delay answers to operations until all nodes have recorded its effects. In the event of a partition, nodes cannot share information with other nodes, so a choice must be made between denying operations that would endanger states getting out of sync, or allowing them through, and dealing with the fallout later.

> It sounds to me that non-Googles are specifying bound parameters that, unlike Google, they cannot guarantee.

I've been complaining about this for years and it's so nice to see others echo the sentiment. Everyone chases timestamps but in reality they're harder to get right than most people are willing to acknowledge.

Very few places get NTP right at large-scale, or at least within accuracies required for this class of consistently. I've never seen anyone seriously measure their SLO for clock drift, often because their observability stack is incapable of achieving the necessary resolutions. Most places hand-wave the issue entirely and just assume their clocks will be fine.

The paper linked within TFA suggests a hybrid clock which is better but still carries some complications. I'll continue to recommend vector clocks despite their shortcomings.

In reply to your comment and the other comments, every bit of incremental change is on the margin. To solve the huge problem of global warming you have to solve a thousand small problems.

If you leave convenient, eco-friendly transportation options all around the city, people will use eco-friendly transportation more than if they were not there. These scooters do in fact substitute for cars. Cities that have good public transportation are still enormously polluting, just a little bit less, assuming the darn buses operate at decent capacity. There is no panacea. Virtue signalling doesn't matter.

The existence of these scooters does not prevent buses and bikes from existing at the same level of service/ convenience as they did before. If anything they make the city more bike-friendly.

Yup, I outright refuse to buy a device which doesn't support trivial firmware unlocking. Google's official "fastboot oem unlock" and a forced wipe of the device seems like the best compromise between freedom and security around.

OnePlus and Google still honor warranties on unlocked devices so I've been sticking with them, but may hop over to Xiaomi due to the high prices of newer OnePlus and Google devices next time - if only they had one with a 3.5mm jack and NFC this would be a no-brainer. Still running my OnePlus one nearly 4 years in...
That happens rather frequently. I think RPKI will be adopted but it will be a slow process like IPv6 adoption.
>Now, there are perfectly valid other reasons to like static typing. I just always hear this one, especially in regards to Python, and it’s really the wrong way to look at it.

>The extra code and constraints of static typing are liabilities that should have to offer offsetting value to choose them.

Agree, agree SO much.

After years of only using statically-typed languages, and then switching to Python and Lisp, i never understood why "catching typos and type errors" was touted as the benefit. I also agree they are like a sort-of liability that has to be taken into account in order to turn it around into a benefit.

For me, it was mostly performance benefits.

Note that not talking about strong typing (vs weak typing). Strong typing is always a good thing.

> You'd be a moron to pass an argument of a different type 'a couple of hours' into the training

Huh?! At least in non-ML code this happens all the time, data fetched by whatever thinggie that uses zillion chained libraries of code nobody has time to audit, comes in hours or days late in a long running service blowing it up... eg. "oops, point.x is now no longer and integer but more like a map[ErrorObject->vector[int]]" bc something blew up in a very unexpected way in some other nodejs code light years away from the business logic you hold in your head... (yeah, the service gets restarted, but at some point some data that should have been saved in the DB hasn't been am may need to be recovered manually from some obscure log if even recoverable)

So yes, Google can be very impressed with Google. But I'm not sure that's the issue here.

Is it really surprising that people who have extremely precise time needs and a whole team devoted to solving them would notice issues that other people wouldn't? I think it's a very common pattern that a product has some set of trailblazer users who find issues before the people who make the product.

Also, I think you're over-interpreting. "Had to" here only means that they noticed and reported the issue first because their system depended on GPS time being right. It doesn't preclude the possibility that the USAF would notice and fix the issue eventually, just with a higher latency that Google wanted.
I will repeat what I wrote about this point a couple of weeks ago: According to vos Savant, in most of the cases where the correspondent actually had a correction to offer for her alleged error, they were assuming the intended interpretation of the puzzle.
This sounds really fascinating, and I'd love to go visit sometime. I sincerely wish them the best of luck.

I do have a pair of downer thoughts, though. The first is that I wonder how much repeat business they can do (yes, dreamcompiler comments that he's visited half a dozen times). Maybe if they figured out how to update it over time? But that might be tricky, with a relatively small physical plant.

Also, this seems like the sort of business which is very sensitive to the overall economic outlook.

This isn't about call spam calls. This is about app review farms and spam reviews. The way the headlines are being made and the way it's being discussed is FUD trying to show that Apple is evil; they're just making an effort to make sure app reviews are legitimate.
Is quantum just a buzzword here? The article doesn't mention it any more.

And does anyone know the advantages over an STM microscope? Is it scale/speed of imaging and the ability to visualize inner atoms?
The title is misleading.

Most people would believe the title is saying "Apple is collecting information on who you call, who calls you, where, when; and it's reading your emails."

But then the article says: "information about how you use your device, including the approximate number of phone calls or emails you send and receive"

So, no, they aren't "tracking your calls and emails" in the layman's sense of the term. They're just counting the number of calls and emails.

In terms of privacy violation that's at least an order of magnitude less egregious, and so it's an important distinction.

Not to mention that those numbers aren't even sent to Apple directly. Again the article states: "The data that gets sent to Apple, according to the company, is a numeric score that is computed on the device itself."
This is seriously bad, but I do get why they thought OpenNTPd was necessary (bad/perfectible code in the other implementations).

That is amazing.

I had a training class on lean manufacturing about a year ago. The low cost enabled by production-line mentality of scooter production combined with the ad-hoc resource allocation enabled by the app for both riders and chargers makes this so darn efficient it is crazy. Very lean.
My feeling is to take an "own it, and be up front about it" mindset. Tell them what happened, admit that you goofed up, explain how/why you believe you learned your lesson or whatever, and make it clear that you won't be doing that again (whatever it was). Without knowing anything more about your situation, that's the best advice I can think of.
I've been pretty happy with the way Android is handling spammers. Not only it shows when a call is suspected to be spam, it also gives me the opportunity to flag a caller as such.

Ramalinga Raju, Satyam’s then chairman, admitted to overstating the company’s cash balance by $1bn, as well as exaggerating the company’s headcount by 13,000. “It was like riding a tiger, not knowing when to get off without being eaten,” he wrote of the growing deception. The company later admitted that the total irregularities amounted to $1.7bn.

Agreed that type-safety preventing training script failure is not the strongest argument for OCaml. In my experience, the far more compelling reason to use expressive type systems is that they allow you to be more specific about your domain models. This helps to not just prevent type errors (common but not that big of a deal) but also logic errors (I think more common, harder to suss out, and harder to catch with the equivalent amount of test coverage). This idea is often rephrased in FP communities as "Make illegal states unrepresentable."

Opt out of spam calls?

Or opt out of having them count the calls coming from your phone?

I think you should have to EPLICITLY opt IN to spam calls. I think Apple should block them by default. (ie - I think you should be AUTOMATICALLY opted out of spam calls.)

Opting out of them counting your calls should be allowed by Apple. Of course, I don't expect Apple to just take on all the fraud that goes along with that. For instance, they should be more than free to subject your mobile app store activity to extra scrutiny if you opt out. Potentially even blocking you from being able to take certain actions on the stores. Because it's obvious that all of the criminals and fraudsters will opt out.
Effectively Measuring Search in Firefox
I would cautiously assume so— though I don’t know enough about the innards of iOS to say for sure.

That is to say, my instinct is that it would be difficult (if not impossible) for the OS to extract meaningful data from, say, the Gmail app, if it’s communicating with its servers using end-to-end encryption.

The OS might be able to see 3rd-party app calls and emails through the API which allows app data to appear in Spotlight search, but that’s at least a permission the user can revoke.
Thing is it seems like it doesn’t matter. The government isn’t required to balance is checkbooks at the end of the year and is in control of the money supply.

Seems like so long as it doesn’t happen too often, it might be a non-issue, I’m not sure what to make of it personally.

I worked for a company that scanned credit card transactions for fraudulent behavior and it was remarkable how reliable the correlation between stolen credit cards and iTunes purchases were. Identity thieves almost always tried to spend $0.99 as a test purchase and then hundreds or thousands of dollars of iTunes gift cards.
