Oh they got a lot of abuse. There's a Greek play where a lady asks "Have you got a statue penis in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me" or something on those lines. Apparently they got vandalized often enough to make it a thing!
These robots operate with much greater precision and have much higher durability and strength than required for a home robot. Additionally, people won't need a robot in their home 24/7. Just for a few hours per day. The robot can transport itself between homes during the day, splitting the cost. Additionally, a lot of that cost is engineering. If you only made a few million iPhones, they'd be much much more than $1000.

The limiting factor will be how quickly AI that can support such a thing comes along.
Optimality versus Fire
As somebody who has misgendered people on accident and been accidentally misgendered, I've never seen anything other than gentle, polite correction when it occurs.

When it occurs more than once, it starts to move from the realm of "accident" to "deliberate", and I can easily imagine that in such a scenario, the corrections would become less gentle and less polite. That doesn't strike me as unreasonable, nor does it strike me as a free speech issue.

But notably, you're giving rather more power to free speech than is usually ascribed, which I find interesting. You're asserting that your right to free speech trumps my right to self-definition; if you want to call me a woman, you have that right under free speech, and if I want to correct you by explaining that actually, I'm a cisgender male, I can't do that because you have the right to free speech.

This seems patently ridiculous to me, and hopefully it does to you too. I don't see a way to reconcile your desire for free speech with my desire for bodily autonomy and self-definition. Can you clarify how allowing other people to choose the proper referential terms for me doesn't erase my ability to define who I am?
Organophosphates are like the primary insecticide used worldwide. How do you replace it? I don't see anywhere where they propose an alternative.
Seems to me that the article itself puts lie to the title given this post (the vox title is different):

“We find that Republicans who followed a liberal Twitter bot became substantially more conservative posttreatment,” write the authors. “Democrats exhibited slight increases in liberal attitudes after following a conservative Twitter bot, although these effects are not statistically significant.”

Not statistically significant vs substantially more. The title given this post is just more "both sides"-ism.
Unrelated, but sites like these always temper the excitement for me about psychedelics.
If psychedelics could really revolutionize human consciousness and open new frontiers, you would think they would be able to make a less crackpot looking site.
Same with Terrance Mackena. All these people who preach psychedelics don't end up accomplishing much besides writing profusely about psychedelics.
However on the other hand we have Cricks and DNA and LSD so who knows.

I guess having a "server" would have prevented the down time. ;)
Isn't it just so that the Mongo's SSPL is a natural extension of AGPL, modified to make it cover things that wouldn't otherwise be considered a derived work (which is exactly what FSFs interpretation of GPL does for more typical, 'single-host' situations), and inheriting the AGPL's problems?

Sorry, it’s unlikely that Overwatch latency would improve specifically from this as I am very doubtful that it is hosted on AWS, or any cloud provider for that matter.

I worked customer support for Blizzard Europe for several years until about 2012. At the time they ran their own infrastructure co-located in ISP data centres. It was very important to Blizzard to have as much control of the quality of the user gaming experience as possible, with control of their infrastructure being a large part of this, and I would be very surprised to hear this philosophy of theirs has changed.

Then again, I don’t know for sure what they’re doing these days.

The copyright owner can indeed license their work anyway they see fit. But often, the purpose of OSS seems to be "to share good software with the world." If that's the case, and then they change their license to a "... and you must also share _your_ work with the world," then they can't really complain when A) users stay on old versions licensed with the old license, and B) when use of their systems drops off lots.

I don't see that as the case here necessarily. TFA just points out to potential users that the license has changed and might necessitate dropping MongoDB from your stack.

I think the first point of your rant is that it’s a misonomer and that’s correct. There’s still a server there. “Serverless” means that you don’t think about or manage individual servers yourself and let your provider abstract it away from you.

You mostly understand the trade offs. The advantages are reduced ops in the happy case and modeling your software in a way that is amenable to horizontal scaling. Providers make executing the horizontal scaling pretty easy for the typical case. The disadvantages are vendor lock in the inability to do real deep diving if you have a problem with the hosting stack rather than the service logic itself.
> Since then, most of AWS transitioned back to Seattle and the CT team focuses on some of the tooling around AWS.

This is not true.

Most of AWS was never in Cape Town, only most of EC2.

And lots of EC2 development still occurs in Cape Town. EC2 has just grown immensely, so even though EC2 developers in Cape Town are now at least 25 times more than at launch, there are teams working on EC2-specific stuff in a number of locations (but yes, many in Seattle).

However, all customer EC2 API calls (e.g. the AWS cli's 'aws ec2 run-instances' etc.) are handled by software that is currently developed and maintained by the Cape Town office, and I believe the EC2 parts of the AWS console are also mostly developed in Cape Town.

There are however teams besides EC2 that have developers in Cape Town (e.g. I think the Personal Health Dashboard, which is not EC2-specific, is also developed in Cape Town).

Cape Town also has a large team of support engineers in Premium Support, and handles all Premium Support calls for about 6 hours a day (IIRC).
"offering a service the value of which entirely or primarily derives from the value of the Program"

That sounds pretty squishy and likely to be broader than just the use case of offering Mongo as a service.
Foreign investment
I'm starting a company, it's already registered as a delaware c-corp and friends and family from outside the us would like to invest a little. What is the best way to go about it? They are not accredited investors but at the same time they don't live in the us and the living standards are not the same so I'm unsure if they are still covered under the SEC's Regulation D.

My ACC/lane assist would do the same thing.

Similar situation: The company I work for uses the word "ads" in their website's asset filenames, for all images. When uBo is enabled, their website is basically text-only. They were oblivious until my first day when I mentioned I reviewed their website from home.
Could you point me to more information about this gait analysis and which stores do this?
Yeah, I'm not necessarily opposed to the general spirit of what they're trying to do here, but this license just doesn't make sense in practice. Now that I've had more time to look at it, I'd really recommend that everybody stay the f%!# away from MongoDB.

This bit in particular really hits the nail on the head:

Let's assume that it is ok somehow to pass forward other open source software, solving that problem. What about my continuous integration software (e.g. CircleCI), or my business backup software (e.g. Jungle Disk) or my code hosting service (e.g. Github)? There is no logical bound to this license. Taken on its face, I would theoretically be bound to release the internal source code of services from third parties that I included in or relied upon to deliver my service.

Copyleft is one thing, but this is so invasive and byzantine that it beggars belief that anybody actually thought this license made sense.
To me, this solution is too much leaning toward graphing and that's not the primary feature you need to health check services.

Also Prometheus only saves 15 days worth of data by default and since they aren't willing to develop down sampling, it's not good to keep any long term history of the metric but you can overcome this by using InfluxDB as the storage but I would rather use something like monit which is simpler and easier to setup and gets the actual job done well.
I find most sites can just be setup as an S3 bucket with Cloudfront as the CDN. Any special logic can then be housed in some Lambda expressions behind API gateway. That probably would have prevented this outtage. But I haven’t read the article.
> accused infringer would then, quite rightly, plead impracticability

I’m not a lawyer, but I wouldn’t expect that to be a valid defense. If you can’t comply, don’t use it.
(Disclaimer: I am an Amazon employee, but my opinions are my own. I don't work in the AWS organization, so my knowledge of AWS services isn't substantially different than other engineers outside of Amazon.)

There obviously are servers, "serverless" just implies you don't own them.

There's a few problems that using serverless solves:

1. It's great for low volume sites or services. You don't need to rent hardware that runs the whole month if you only get pinged a few times per day.

2. It reduces operational burden. A whole class of problem goes away - patching operating systems and application servers.

3. It provides an abstraction layer for processing events. Events could be HTTP requests to a site, data coming in from an IoT device, that a new file was uploaded to S3, etc.

Performance isn't that different from using EC2 (or the non-AWS equivalents), other than cold start times, and choice of language platform can help mitigate that.

In terms of complexity, for the project work I've done the complexity isn't different than running something in any other application server.

Cloud providers other than AWS have a serverless offering, and there are frameworks out there for abstracting the differences, so tooling support doesn't have to come with lock-in. In addition, a well-architected serverless application has a pretty small layer interfacing with the serverless framework, so the code lock in is negligible.
The idea is to reduce complexity as developers can simply provide code and let the service handle everything else.

Unfortunately, the technology isn't there yet and serverless is actually more complex than traditional managing servers.

Key Lessons for Better Software Development
Sure, but at the same time, a big part of Qubes involved creating very secure jails for processes, which they could not escape. So, 'keeping untrusted stuff in its box' is sort of her expertise, and if anybody's going to do that right, it's probably her.

Chances are, the NSA won't be renting out Top Secret machines for Golem, but some rando with a multi-thousand dollar gaming rig she's just using to browse HN on may well view the tradeoff differently.
That's cool. I hope it takes off. Water shortage is a very serious issue in Asia affecting millions and this solution seems too good to be true, so it's exciting. I wonder what the costs are like and can I buy one and donate them to communities in Asia?

The elementary school was only a five minute walk away, but even still, the kids always wanted to be at school early to play soccer, ice skate, etc. It has always been more of an issue telling the kids that they cannot get to school too early, rather than the opposite.
This is my experience. We will use Azure functions occasionally if all we need is to get data from a third party (with auth, when they can't set up CORS properly), but that's about it.
Heck, even CloudFront is super easy to setup and works like a charm.
I made no comment about what they were doing. It's just the article goes to great lengths to avoid saying that the people in question are breaking the law.

I think there is merit to using Facial Rec and License Plate readers to try and find people who are in violation of the law. The ethics and morals come into retention of that data. Collect and retain facial information for future use? Bad. Search for a known face in a crowd. Better.

And bad behavior of some is not a valid excuse for everyone. Police sometimes kill innocent people, but that's not a reason to say the police shouldn't carry guns. Tools can be abused, and that abuse needs to be aggressively monitored and punished, but that's not an argument to not use something.

to help make sense of this apparent contradiction, i'd suggest separating christianity the religion from the underlying philosophy of jesus.

most people generally admire jesus's moral philosophy, but non-religious folks (e.g., humanists) find the various religions and sub-sects to be distasteful because, while there are some good people within, those organizations largely exist to concentrate and perpetuate power (which religious leaders would argue helps them with their mission of salvation).

I just had a call with MongoDB sales yesterday, and specifically asked if the licence changes impacts us, where we use Mongo as a datastore for our application, but we're not offering Mongo itself as a service. They were very quick and clear to say that the change is about those providers offering Mongo itself as a service. Using mongo in your stack to provide your service is not implicated at all.

The only grey area I see is if you offered some sort of database-as-a-service backed by Mongo but not explicitly sold as Mongo-as-a-service.

No es ser hipocrita. Es muy fácil sentirte "promedio" cuando tienes al lado gente que lleva programando 5-6 años antes que tú. Personas que hicieron su primer app a los 13, un compilador a los 15, un ERP a los 17. Te llevan años de ventaja.

Un estudiante "promedio" va la escuela pasa sus materias; las sufre un poco y se gradua. No destaca, no hace un extra. No importa si estudies en Stanford, Harvard o la Universidad Técnica #116 de tu país. Ser de 'x' o 'y' lugar no hace diferencia.

From what I can glean online, the 150 gal/day unit costs $18k usd + $150-$300 in electricity a month if run 24/7 at $0.10Kwh. Ignoring electrical costs, it would take 1581 days to reach $0.02/liter. In that time you would use up $7.5-15k in electricity.

The best estimate I could find is that the average US household uses 240 gal a day.

A friend of mine had to drill a 980 ft well through bedrock. A well this deep requires a much stronger pump and more electricity. They are on their 2nd pump. I should ask them what that all cost.
