There are a lot of good comments on this story. What stood out to me in the article, however, was that they thought the lights on the tanker were part of the port. Sounds like a bit of a stupid mistake in the context of what other commenters are saying, but fine, whatever, you thought they were lights of the port. Why on Earth did you ram the port at 17 knots?

EDIT: Yes, I understand they didn't think it was moving, but it would have been obviously close to their line of travel. A bit of caution would have been appropriate.

But in this case shouldn't the regulator assume some liability?
Most webhosting plans are fixed monthly fees, AFAIK. The only one I knew that billed for used resources was NearlyFreeSpeech.
It’s probably one of those things where everyone thought everyone else would notice that the port was actually another boat
I guess they knew where they were, and how far away the port was.

When the tanker was a fair distance away, they mistook it for the port, even further away. When they got closer to the tanker, it was too late.

They were talking about Webhosting, not VPSs. With webhosting, the hosting company usually manages the software, you just dump your code (or cgi-bin binary) into a directory. For example https://www.hostgator.com/web-hosting

People started to use the term for something else and now it became the main meaning.

"Serverless" is nowadays "AWS Lambda" (and similar products).

I wish people called it FaaS (function as a service), but they call it "serverless", and it's fine I guess
I don't think anyone considers IT support staff to be "administrators". They're thinking of Deans, Provosts, Vice Provosts, ____ Coordinators. These positions frequently pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they've multiplied significantly over the last 30 years.
Ok, that's one I'm willing to concede is annoying for single person companies and there should probably be some fix for dealing with that. On the other hand, I understand why a legal representative within EU jurisdiction is desired.

For the record, your EU representative isn't required to be a lawyer or even legal expert, though.
The second point "20-20-20" is not only about your eyes, but even your spine, when you sit for a long time you are damaging your spine, you can notice you have reached the limit when you are not sitting straight but you have your legs crossed or on a side, going for a 20 feet walk and then sitting again is enough to make you go back to the correct position.

For the last point "walk", I personally love to walk, I used to go to work by bike but then I changed to just walking, my workplace is around 3 miles from where I live, so every day I walk for around 90 minutes (going back and forth), I noticed this helped me a lot, less back pain, more energy and also lost several kilos.

If you are not lucky enough to work so close to your workplace or you don't want to walk so much, I recommend going out of the bus/metro a couple of stops earlier, and maybe increase the number of stops over time.

And when did that happen? You do realize that the US DoJ charging somebody still isn't "evidence"? Just like claims that some NK agents coded something are mostly based on code heuristics and usually nothing else.

> Attribution isn't simply that the bad packets came from a Chinese IP address.

Where did I ever claim that? It's the whole reason why I pointed out what I did. Even your linked "rant" agrees that much:

> Attribution is not done with single pieces of evidence or a smoking gun it is done as analysis on complex data sets most of which is not even technical

"most of which is not even technical"

Just because you are clustering together a bunch of assumptions still doesn't make them any more than assumptions. Just like companies working in the sector have a vested interest in making it look like they are more certain than they actually are because nobody pays them for "maybes", people pay them with the expectation of getting solid answers.

In that context, it does not really help to harp on about "MOs" and how other security firms totally agreed with some attribution, they are all just wild-guessing based on what they expect the opposition to use and what fits their "MO". Assumptions which are extremely easy to exploit for anybody willing to go the distance.

Math?

There are thousands upon thousands of banks around the world. Each one of these banks is going to have at least one branch. Some have tens of branches. Some have hundreds. A few might have thousands. Each of these branches is going to have at least a handful of employees. Some will have more like 10-50. Then there are the corporate structures to the banks, entirely outside of retail locations. Thousands upon thousands of corporate employees for the big banks, hundreds as you go down.

The result is hundreds of thousands of retail bank branches (if not millions), and definitely millions of bank employees.

That is just relevant to the people and building upkeep (air condition, lighting, etc) for retail locations.

Then you have the fact that big banks will have their own datacenters. Any bank with online banking will need to be consuming a lot of electricity to host those services. Any bank with telephone banking needs to consume energy in order to keep those phone lines available. A lot of these banks will then either be integrating with each other or integrating with a 3rd party for more modern settlement. Either way, this process consumes electricity.

Then there is the amount of paper / other supplies that these countless banks are consuming. It's a lot. All of these things have an associated energy cost.

---

But you think there is the slightest chance that bitcoin/ethereum/etc are consuming an equivalent amount of energy and resources? Really?

Throw in the fact that a lot of mining operations are utilizing waste energy and you have yourself a consumption comparison that is laughable considering how tiny blockchain is compared to banking.

> you'd have done the rational thing and supported this bill.

I actually think they've created a huge problem for themselves. Instead of shelving this issue away for the election, they have guaranteed it's going to come back. The government is already flagging they will not accept amendments as a political tactic to prolong the discussion because they think it will distract from all their other policy failures. This may actually be a massive own-goal from Shorten.

I mean, I empathise with your problems, but this very much doesn't sound like "GDPR makes by side business impossible". It sounds like "exploitative user-data abusing ad vendor abuse s their lock-in to exploit people's personal data" kind of problem, so I'd say things are working.

FYI, "allowing EU users to opt-out" is still wrong, they would have to explicitly opt-in to targeted ads. At least, in so far as ads are targeted based on personal data.

The problem with CEOs talking about inspiring people to get stuff done is... they write their articles in an inspiring way, leaving out the inevitably uninspiring parts of reality.

Visionary envisaging can easily become meaningless corporate speak, and L2, with its tendency to abstract ways of talking about things.... it opens more door for this... for example.
It presumably doesn't work very well if you get run over by an oil tanker, though...
All world maps are political, so?
While this is a bit of strawman logic, I'll bite.

My answer is this - what we are seeing I feel is a build-up to a massive power shift in the coming decades. As the climate changes and resources undoubtedly become scarce (water, food, etc) something will eventually trigger a conflict between the major nations, which currently people refuse to believe is a possibility. I'd guess the relative economic stability of the last several decades has lead to this.

When the curtain inevitably falls, which would you prefer to take the baton. A quasi-democratic nation (US) that has clear pitfalls but at least a large portion of people living in relative freedom of thought, or the nation which has revoked the need to run elections, actively black-bags people for saying the wrong thing about their government, and institutes wide ranging censorship on a variety of important issues?

Neither side is perfect, but it must be objectively said that the humanitarian state of affairs in China is dismal.

Currently we are seeing the government in China stifling dissent as well as preparing to quash as much possibility of it in the future, while actively probing "the other side" for weaknesses.

In any strategic sense, what's going on right now should be concerning. And while the thought of 'picking sides' does honestly suck, I'll throw the question back at you.

What would you prefer?
I was involved with a open source phone OS and things went great - until we tried to take it to market. In order to launch the OS we decided to partner with telecom providers, and it was their requirements which threatened the project’s integrity. I fear this barrier will be present for other phones in the future. Open source hardware is really important. The closed source baseband blob compromises the security of the device. We were unable to audit it, so we could not trust it.
I believe the Royal Navy was about the last to be keen on open bridges - sure I read somewhere that it was only the threat of nuclear fallout the convinced them that it was better to be inside.

Worth reading someone like Nicholas Monsarrat for what an open bridge on a small ship in the North Atlantic could be like - utter misery!
Yeah, now the term is an oxymoron, "serverless" but there is a server and a client.
>And it shows unions are NOT about respect for anyone's feelings that don't align with the 'endorsed' way of thinking.

The comment I replied to states unions are violent and don't care about feelings that aren't part of an 'endorsed' way of thinking. I stated another more direct reason why they would have the same reaction which has nothing to do with attempts at thought policing, but rather with their reason for existing.

Maybe the difference feels subtle, but it's an important one.

In an old project I had 2.8TB of transfer per month between DCs (ie zones in AWS). The hoster provided that service for free, AWS bills this for 20$.

Incoming traffic is charged on a few AWS applications, not EC2, but some do.

That doesn't really change the point though; AWS Networking is magnitudes more expensive than competitors and they bill for things that are accepted as part of the service in other places.
>If the Opposition is incapable of actually opposing something they had serious reservations about they aren’t really trying.

welcome to Australian politics ;)
The short (and sad) answer is that no one really cares about security; they only care about it when something hits the fan.

Security isn't a revenue driver, only a cost. It's commonly known that most companies (small or large) vastly prefer investing in things that increase revenue and profit.
Thanks you!

I actually started with vanilla JS and also tried react. But there seem to be a big gap in my skills when it comes to actually building a program. I'm still in the first week of the course but I'm more enlightened already. But I'm still trying to make sense how I can apply it to JS/React. I think I'll just wait until I finish the course.

> sigh, I meant real skin in the game, i.e. you would face another 4 years in opposition if Murdoch and mates politicized your "support of ISIS".

I mean, in this scenario most Labor MPs keep their jobs, while thousands of people face an uncertain future as companies openly contemplate the risks of hiring Australians or doing business here, and perhaps millions risk their cybersecurity being covertly weakened. If you are subject to Australian law, you have just as much skin in this ‘game’ as the politicians themselves, if not more. After all, the law does apply to you.

> I wish the world were different, but it just isn't. Given a modest 1/10,000 possibility of some "terror" attack over Christmas, would a rational actor hang their political future on an issue that 99.99% of average Aussies don't understand?

Again, please define rational. Is Labor’s only rational plan to amass as much political power as possible at the least cost? To absolutely eliminate any risk of losing the next election by being as uncontroversial as possible? I’m not so cynical as to think there aren’t any technologically literate or principled people in the Labor Caucus, so I’m rather disappointed they simply went AWOL when they were needed most.

Labor just had an election in Victoria where News Corp went pretty hard after them on law and order for several months – yet they won. They weren’t going to lose federally in the next six months because of this bill.

> I hate this bill. I hate that we're moving in the direction of a world with mass surveillance, but realistically, if we take off our rose coloured glasses, and putting aside political idealism, would we expect Labor to do any different?

You’re sounding awfully defeatist. Labor didn’t have a gun to their head, either metaphorically or literally. They do actually have political power and they are allowed to use it. Be as cynical as you like, but opposition parties are still allowed to oppose things on principle.

Sure, there are plenty of reasons a good design might still fail. But while further investigation might be necessary, the authorities determined the design might be to blame for the sinking not the collision. It doesn't look like they're trying to pass the blame. The ship may have been still able to stay afloat after the collision assuming the seals worked as expected.

My understanding of Serverless was that it was synonymous with 'Functions as a Service'.
What Knative seems to be doing is more like 'Backend as a Service'.
I guess it's good to know that these two very different approaches are now both labeling themselves as 'Serverless'.
I guess Knative is just hitchhiking on top of Amazon's marketing success around the 'Serverless' term.

I think the answer there is that if you are wrong and crazy to question our current understanding of nutrition, you are probably only hurting yourself and maybe your kids. If you are wrong and crazy about climate change, you are hurting everyone on the planet. And it's a very charged topic because we already have plenty of people who don't want to inconvenience themselves to benefit the climate, so questioning climate change tends to give such people more justification for behavior that is selfish to the point of monstrous already.

I'm an environmental studies major. I think it's complicated. I tend to not bother to argue it. My doubts are not some kind of definitive proof that the assertions of others are wrong. I mostly think it's not worth debating at this point in time.

There are plenty of negative changes that are well documented, such as species going extinct, species on the Endangered Species list, etc. We don't really need to prove global warming one way or the other to know that we need to make some changes in a big way and very soon because the course we are on is clearly a crash course.

My first thought when I saw the title: why would you want to do that? I feel like the only justification it gave (faster feedback) is way too insignificant compared to the downsides of developing inside a notebook. Joel Grus has a presentation that he gave at the 2018 JupyterCon about this which I found very enlightening and convincing. It is about why not to use notebooks apart from the very beginning of any serious project. The slides are available here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh...

Of course I still use notebooks for experimenting (usually it is open beside my IDE), I just think that developing a whole software architecture inside notebooks is not something notebooks are for.

I'm just speculating here, but I don't think the Norwegian navy actually operates as if it could potentially be in combat situation at any time.

Not sure if what I'm saying is clear (and I don't have the correct terms, especially in English) but on French navy ships and I guess on US ships as well, the general ambiance is that the situation is always serious and whatever operation is done as if it was in the context of combat. I have been on a few ships of "less relevant" navies (no offense but the Australian or South African navies just see less action) and there the whole crew was usually more relaxed and would behave more casually with regards to unforeseen events.

This is not criticism, but I think frequent action does help with keeping discipline, while infrequent action makes it easy to slip into more comfortable routine.
