What exactly do you want the government to do about, say, Facebook? Split it up? Which half of your social network goes to which part?

This idea of "government should do something!" just stokes outrage. It's not constructive. Propose something, and you'll find that the devil is in those details. Laws? Which laws? Apply them how? Those laws are not as clear or useful as you seem to think.
urls would have to be global, but why buckets themselves? It seems like a many to one relationship would easily be possible.
Don't forget about historical examples like Boss Tweed, or the present-day examples of the governments of many third-world countries. There is definitely such a thing as having the scales tipped in your favor by a few especially important individuals. Sure, it might be excessive for the radicals on all wings to say that the system is completely corrupt on every level, but it's equally silly to think that both you and the CEO of Time Warner have identical levels of influence on the outcome of the next election.

(I used Tweed as an example because in addition to his "populist" appeals to the poorest of the poor, one of the major components of his scheme to stay in power was his relationships with the businesses he funneled money into.)
To 3: NP-complete Problems and Physical Reality by Scott Aaronson is a pretty good review.

To 2: It is about scaling. The noise might be an order of magnitude smaller, but it does not matter, because this is a constant factor that is overpower by the fact that noise adds up quickly with number of elements/operations, no matter what hardware you use. It is the adding up that is the problem.

To your last comment: you really will be surprised. It is our duty as scientists to balance excitement about the unknown (better analog computers would indeed be awesome) with the desire to speculate about what the solution would be.

Lastly, learning why something is improbable (e.g. a perpetual motion machine) frequently brings amazing insight into the workings of the universe.
Hacked? No.

Desecrated? Yes.
My entire production infrastructure is in GCP. What happened here has caused approximately zero impact to the availability of my service.
Most of the rhetoric seems to have a tit-for-tat feel to it.

Forget about tit for tat. Let's talk about principles. Innocent until proven guilty. Rule of law. The right of free speech. As per usual, the side holding power wishes to dispense with those principles, so they can proceed to get their way, "for the greater good." The other side, knocked onto its back foot, is the one talking about principles. In the 60's, it was the other way around, at least at first.

(Then, as now, there are opportunists on the far extremes, hoping to gain power by fanning the flames of outrage.)

Now, power is not only embodied in television and print media, it's also mediated by the viral potential of social media. There is one side which seeks to reserve the power of virality to itself, all the while holding onto the declining power of traditional media. It's precisely for situations like this, that the principles were created. It's precisely this kind of imbalance that the principles are supposed to help bring back towards the center.

the health of the system are more important than political ideology

Hear hear.

University censorship has always existed. I think that right-wing universities will start to emerge all around the U.S. in a form way more prevalent than what they are now, similar to how Fox News emerged. Instead of co-existing with another point of view, we drive them out, segregating and polarizing the other side.

I remember back when Kissinger came to campus. There were a group of students that protest all week before and during his 4 hour stay. It almost got cancelled.

I think it is healthy to hear their arguments of the people you don't agree with and come up with counter-arguments proving them wrong instead of shunning them away.

I like that argument. I wonder if Apple will.
This is required for any apps that offer user-configurable reddit integration.
Yeah, I wouldn't blanket defend everything written there (I haven't even read it all). But some are great.
To me "breeding" means intentionally selecting for desired traits. That's not what's happening here. In a sense, it's the opposite--presumably, elephants without tusks is exactly what poachers don't want.
Well, it's on TestFlight already, so it's already passed one round of Apple's screening.
- Native integration with G-Suite as an identity provider. Unified permissions modeling from the IDP, to work apps like email/Drive, to cloud resources, all the way into Kubernetes IAM.

- Security posture. Project Zero is class leading, and there's absolutely a "fear-based" component there, with the open question of when Project Zero discovers a new exploit, who will they share it with before going public? The upcoming Security Command Center product looks miles ahead of the disparate and poorly integrated solutions AWS or Azure offers.

- Cost. Apples to apples, GCP is cheaper than any other cloud platform. Combine that with easy-to-use models like preemptible instances which can reduce costs further; deploying a similar strategy to AWS takes substantially more engineering effort.

- Class leading software talent. Google is proven to be on the forefront of new CS research, then pivoting that into products that software companies depend on; you can look all the way back to BigQuery, their AI work, or more recently in Spanner or Kubernetes.

- GKE. Its miles ahead of the competition. If you're on Kubernetes and its not on GKE, then you've got legacy reasons for being where you're at.

Plenty of great reasons. Reliability is just one factor in the equation, and GCP definitely isn't that far behind AWS. We have really short memories as humans, but too soon we seem to forget Azure's global outage just a couple months ago due to a weather issue at one datacenter, or AWS's massive us-east-1 S3 outage caused by a human incorrectly entering a command. Shit happens, and it's alright. As humans, we're all learning, and as long as we learn from this and we get better then that's what matters.

Do people actually believe this shit "Sick building syndrome"

If so perhaps go see a good Naturopath.

Sure it's psychosomatic, and this is in itself a illness. And it causes issues, see the Cuban Embassy.

But on HN can't we start at the level of psychosomatic and then talk about how to deal with that. Because you can.

You can design to reduce psychosomatic behaviour. Like have trees and plants around.

There's a science here, why doesn't this not interest the HN community.
I think you have to separate phraseology from intent.

From where I sit, it appears that many "alt-right" types espousing views on racial or gender superiority fervently believe these concepts.

That's not the case for most on the left. Instead, the hostility from the left is more directed towards those that hold these prejudicial views.
Yeah I’ve noticed a preference among the library authors for kicad-compatible releases. That’s fine with me. I consider it analogous to the situation between clang and GCC. All the compiler people are working on clang these days. But GCC is still the better compiler, through the sheer mass of accumulated contributions. Someday the new thing will surpass the old thing.
Yes, but this used to be enabled for all iPads. The feature was then removed, probably because older ones just couldn't keep all the apps running reliably.
None of these are even remotely taboo to a center-to-right-leaning audience.

There are people here in the Bay Area who would look at such topics, and will pattern-match anything which isn't the Far Left party line, and immediately try to tar you with the worst names they can think of. The mindlessness of it is indeed breathtaking. I can understand the motivation behind certain current memes.
That article to me seems thoughtful, thorough, and cites serious research by serious researchers at orthodoxy-respecting institutions.

TBH i dont know much in this area but nobody has mentioned CoAP which is basically simple http over udp for the IOT world. Have code a couple of use cases in c# for both server and client. As it is both blinding fast, and has option for reliabe messaging I wonder if CoAP was influenced by QUIC or other way round.
Just curious. Seems modern. apps that are micro service driven eminently suited to using CoAP for its lower overhead and speed... And as such HTTP/3 makes a whole load of sense.

How is multiplexed streams with individual windows on each substream not tcp on tcp?

Sure, there's some other stuff in there, server sent goaway in particular is a great way to indicate the server intentionally closed the connection, but the primary objective is to get around congestion control -- which could have been better solved by just adjusting congestion control to pool by destination IP in clients Google could control (at least Android) and on servers Google could control (at least their servers)
My favorite quote of Winston Churchill's is an exchange between him and Lady Nancy Astor:

“Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”

7 seems like overkill, but ok. :D Is that helpful for being able to display the full gamut of visible color more than 4 primaries, or even just 3 that are closer aligned to our eyes?
And this is somehow okay? There is a third party binary blob embedded in CloudFlare’s app that needs microphone, photos and multimedia files?

Uhh no.
this is simply not true.

I poked around a bit but wasn't able to find out what the nominal/design specs of the v2 robot are.
Is this designed for slow movement through a farm field? What kind of payload, battery life, range, etc.? You've got all these videos and that forum, but a blog post about the project, your intentions and so forth, would be interesting.

The suspension and driving action are very impressive!
> That's 3,077x earnings

Whoops. Thanks, updated.

Coming from experience with semiconductor companies years back, 3-4x earnings was a typical acquisition price. This speculation on growth is very interesting to me.
Ha ha, very similar story. I was working with one of the guys that I managed, and he showed me a book relevant to our project that I decided I needed to buy. “Darn, can’t get away at lunch today to hit the bookstore.” He says: “Order it from Amazon.” so I say: “What is Amazon?” him: “It’s a web store. Here is the URL.” me: “I don’t have a web browser”. Him: “ftp the tarball for Mosaic from NCSA and do the standard ./configure; make all; and you will be good to go.”

Here is the thing that really impresses me about Bezos. In a world where Sili Valley engineers were spreading Mosaic by word of mouth and just getting to about 50% penetration among engineers, Amazon was already a store.
If I understand your question, you're asking what is one thing currently missing from JS that if added would yield a large perf gain?

I think the biggest one would be from types. The JS runtime engineers have improved perf a ton already and I imagine all of the low and medium hanging fruit is already done.
I started putting some BS answers, and they seem to be accepted. It seems you need to select at least 2 tiles, but not necessarily the right ones.

It doesn't get rid of them, but I can usually get through them a bit faster since I don't need to actually look at the image or text.

Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1897/
Given the historical context (S3 launched 12 years ago, 5 months before EC2 launched with the us-east-1 region), it's reasonable that S3 buckets were global because regions didn't really exist yet as a concept.

If you look at the docs now[1], new buckets are regionalized and the region is in the URL for non-us-east-1 regions.

Salvador Dalí is a notorious troll in this regard. Many of his works are extremely well known by their reproductions. but he plays with scale- the originals are often absurdly smaller or larger than you imagine from the reproductions.
It’s not just about what CloudFlare could do. CloudFlare is supposedly doing this for privacy reasons but they have third party code in thier product that we don’t know if they have the source code to. Neither you nor they know what this third party code is doing.
I don't know much about Quillette, so I just went to read a bunch of articles. A fair number of commenters seem to be posting about, for instance, "Jewish misinformation campaigns" and "jewish desire to destabilize America" (in the comments about "A closer look at anti-white rhetoric", mentioned above). A few other people do argue with the anti-semitism. Anyhow, are you sure that Holocaust denial is ten times as controversial as anything I'll read in Quillette, or is it only... twice as controversial?
What part of 'that' is an oversimplification?

Consider the case of Edgar Welch, father of two[1]. On one fateful day in 2016, Edgar drove to Washington DC to save children who were being exploited at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria. Who wouldn't try to save innocent children from an abusive situation when authorities refuse to act? Anyone who is a parent with a sense of duty, that is who. And yet for Edgar, his actions which made perfect sense, given what he believed to be true, turned out to be not only unwarranted but dangerous to patrons at the restaurant.

The only difference about Edgar, who up until then was just an average community member in an average community, was that he believed something that wasn't actually true. Even Edgar realized that his beliefs were misplaced, once it was clear there was no way the restaurant could have been participating in the activity he believed was going on there.

Your comment talks about groups, but I was talking about individuals. And the original comment was how could individuals at Jonestown kill their own children?

My assertion, and Edgar is but one example, all of Jim Jones' congregation is another, is that if you can make an individual believe something, you can cause them to act against their own self interest, even to the point of murder. This is true even when that person is otherwise free of mental illness or emotional disorders.

I don't see the over simplification aspect. Manipulating people through there beliefs is something hypnotists do every day, whether it is to quit smoking or to cluck like a chicken at a Las Vegas show it is a well understood part of human nature.

people who want to be well-informed but don't have the resources to do it without leaning on others who do

Uh, isn't that absolutely everyone?

All your comments on this page are very ugly, and remind me of the SJWs in the movie The Red Pill - so certain they're right that they have no need to think about, engage with, consider the matter/group/publication in question. They are good, the other is bad, by definition.

I hadn't heard of Lehmann or Quillette. Reading most of the comments on this page, I expected some ranting far-right lunatic website. But a couple of comments made me think it might be worth checking out.. And what a surprise. It seems full of interesting articles. Has supportive blurbs from quite a lot of writers I like. I was expecting at best an intelligent site from the right[0]. It's actually nothing like that, just seems full of good articles from good writers. Why the hate and fear on this page, I have no idea. So I bookmarked quillette.com and will be reading their stuff. Thanks HN.

[0] I like to sometimes read "conservative" stuff, to counterbalance my natural far-left inclinations. e.g. I love the books of Roger Kimball and David Stove, and have learnt a lot from them. Plus they're excellent writers, and can be very funny. (Although I read one of Kimball's purely political pieces online once, OMG it was embarrassingly bad. But in matters of general art/culture/philosophy I don't often disagree with him.)

You can just not use the debugger...
The usual response to that is to read the agile manifesto, read a bit of history of it and watch some videos on youtube from the people involved in its beginnings. You should then discern the original agile movement values from the salesmansy bullcrap that the word agile turned into.
Read the article and came back to mention `ndb`. Cannot emphasis how easy it is to debug with it.

If you're using node, do yourself a favor and `npx ndb` next time you wanna debug something.
And I've found that a lot of TED talks are pretty mediocre. They have good delivery, but they're a bit light on proof, so I find them hard to accept at face value.

Instead of watching a ton of TED talks, I look to see which speakers wrote a book, check out reviews (to see if they cited sources), and watch only if their full content checks out. If I like the talk, I'll read the book. There's just a ton of mediocre content out there, and I just don't have time to watch them all.
I have not suggested that health credits are the inevitable conclusion of banning any tobacco product.

I have posed a specific set of questions about the logic of prohibiting products for heath purposes. You have chosen to tilt by snark & technicality instead of answering these questions.

If we accept that the government (or a group of bureaucrats) knows what is best for the health of divers individuals, then why not?

If we accept that 30 minutes of exercise is good for health and that it is appropriate to compel individuals into healthy choices, then why not?

If we accept that two parallel lines will never intersect, then why should air traffic controllers worry?

It is plain and obvious where this logic leads. Claiming a slippery slope is a dodge imho.
The tactic I'm seeing more and more of nowadays, is where someone starts talking about something nuanced, like the role of far left and far right breakdowns of the rule of law in the Weimar Republic, then someone else comes in and tries to claim it's something horrible like holocaust denial. It's disturbingly typical for discourse nowadays, and it's shockingly intellectually dishonest. What's even more shocking is the extent to which such illogic is defended by the far left and far right. It's almost like the extremists don't want the center to have a voice and want outrage chaos to predominate instead. (Sarcasm. Of course that's what extremists want.)
For personal learning: I use a personal wiki and update it ASAP whenever I learn something new, be it via a meeting, reference, news story, link. A collage of references. I use pmwiki but the wiki always-editable concept is more important than the software.

For meeting that are more formal/have deliverables, these are always minuted and shared. It's surprising walking away from a meeting with a seemingly clear conclusion the interpretation others can have several weeks later unless this is done. Stay on one page, literally. This could range from a photo of the agenda and notes made with highlights, to typed, depending on what's allowed/information security policy.

For notebook, I have a bull clip with loose paper which may include blank paper, templates, etc. When something's not needed, I shred it.
Nah, don't bother reading it. The importance of Benjamin's essay has been vastly overrated by academic art theorists. As proof I would point out that the very first image in the linked article is Hokusai's iconic "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" which is of course a woodblock print (i.e., a "mechanical reproduction") but no less appreciated as a work of art for being so.
QUIC does things TCP will never do. Firstly QUIC is a combination of SSL + TCP. This allows it put the SSL handshake into the TCP handshake - thus reducing the overhead of starting an SSL connection. It also leverages SSL session reuse to avoid the TCP 3 package handshake completely. As others have mentioned, QUIC is optimised for something that HTTP/2 does often that TCP does not support very well - multiple child streams over the one connection.

In general, it is true that TCP is highly optimised, but it is only optimised for one use case: a long lived single flow over a low error rate connection to a single destination. That was the predominate type of connection back in the FTP and early web days. But is hasn't been that way for a while now. HTTP is short lived, video goes to multi destinations, HTTP/2 and multi media in general has multiple flows. Wireless only appears to be low error rate because the physical layer had to cover up it's shortcomings otherwise TCP's performance became abysmal.

TCP hasn't remained king of the mountain because its fantastic protocol that can't be improved. On the contrary - looks to be the simplest thing it's inventors could come up with. It even lacked round trip time measurement - which is something I suspect that would have killed it if an extension hadn't saved it. TCP has remained king of the mountain purely because it appears to be near impossible to replace. Now that Google has done it, I expect we will see a lot more experimentation in this area.
I picked 7 because it works nicely with hexagonal pixels. :-)

But the primaries can be relatively close together in color. It’s fine if we have e.g. 2 reds, 2 blues, and 3 greens instead of 1 of each.

Or for an LCD, some of them could be broader-spectrum primaries which were brighter but less colorful, while others could be more intense narrow-spectrum primaries. This would make the display more color accurate for various observers (more robust against “observer metamerism”), and would make the display overall brighter for the same intensity of backlight.

Or I dunno.. I’m not an expert in display technology, I’m sure the engineers could come up with many ideas.
As if something like this has never happened to AWS?
I have had numerous attempts, but the approach that really worked for me was getting rid of EarPods and installing numerous site blocking services on my devices.

I was able to force myself to spend more of my time in my own thoughts.
This is sage advice. You have basically boiled down tons of self help material into a single comment. Thanks.
