You're making a real big assumption that anyone wants to build this service, and anyone wants to support it.

The evidence says, they do not - hate groups fail at these gives all the time because ultimately they also don't get along with anyone else.

I'd view that as the marketplace of ideas working correctly.

I have a few questions after reading. Mostly I'd like to know how they built their dynamic queueing system.

How do they signal the workers to refresh their dynamic queue lists?

Are they using a homebuilt queueing system or piggybacking on top of something like celery?

What is the underlying message bus and how is it deployed?

Would love to know more. Also kudos to them for stressing idempotency in a message system. It's usually much easier to ensure idempotency than to ensure exactly once delivery.
My calculations might be wrong, but it looks like these Rdot displays use significantly less energy than Memory LCDs.

Using numbers from Sharp[0], Memory LCDs use ~226µJ/cm2 each second when static. I'm assuming they are 60Hz displays & therefore require a refresh 60 times each second but even if they only refresh once a second, that's ~3.8µJ/cm2 a second or 13,680 times the power consumption of the Rdot displays.

The article claims these Rdot screens use 0.25mJ/cm2 every 15 minutes when static.

Again, these are my "back-of a napkin" calculations so take with some salt.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It seems like you have shifted your argument from small government to small federal government. Do you also suggest the size of the state governments should be small as well?

> You can't regulate evil away unfortunately. It doesn't matter that regulations you throw at a lucrative company, they will invest incredible amounts of money to try and weasel around it.

This is pretty hand-wavey: Of course corporations will try to get around regulations. 1) Removing those regulations federally won't make their behavior any better, and 2) shifting responsibility to the states creates the same problem.

> Where would you do that under today's highly regulated government? People are struggling in this very way today also.

Not because of regulation. People are supposed to influence policy through their representatives, but they've mostly been bought and paid for by corporate interests.

> What right does a person have to more money from their employer than what the consenting adults have agreed upon?

These agreements don't happen in a vacuum. Many people are forced into poor-paying jobs to feed themselves and their family. Then corporate practices make sure they stay there.

> Assuming you're talking about raising the minimum wage, I want you to consider something. The next time the idea comes up, try thinking about minimum wage from the standpoint of a small business owner. There's a lot more of them (and they're more important to the average local economy) than MegaCorps.

I never mentioned raising the minimum wage. However, for small businesses, when the minimum wage goes up, they raise their prices. More people can afford higher prices because the minimum wage goes up. Inflation happens whether or not you raise the minimum wage.

Additionally there's plenty of room for regulations that protect small businesses from MegaCorps' predatory practices and leveraged monopolies/oligopolies.

> I manage to run my own life every day without any help from MegaCorp. You should try it.

And from the perspective of a 19th century coal miner...

> And the point I'm trying to make is that if you shift power from Feds to State, the citizens can easier control their laws, as granted in A10, and create something that works much better for them, on their terms, with more or less regulation depending where you are.

If your state is badly gerrymandered, and the reps are bought (much more cheaply) by corporate interests, you still won't get that.
I think the brain was likely totally comatose, from the article:

“””

Sestan now says the organs produce a flat brain wave equivalent to a comatose state, although the tissue itself “looks surprisingly great” and, once it’s dissected, the cells produce normal-seeming patterns.

The lack of wider electrical activity could be irreversible if it is due to damage and cell death. The pigs’ brains were attached to the BrainEx device roughly four hours after the animals were decapitated.

However, it could also be due to chemicals the Yale team added to the blood replacement to prevent swelling, which also severely dampen the activity of neurons. “You have to understand that we have so many channel blockers in our solution,” Sestan told the NIH. “This is probably the explanation why we don’t get [any] signal.”

“””

But yes this would be scary if that wasn’t true.
Yes. The baseband on an iPhone is effectively just a USB peripheral. Did you think Apple spent tens of millions of dollars designing a custom secure enclave processor running a separate operating system unrelated to iOS and just said "fuck it, give the whole system to the baseband vendor"?

In terms of your comment that it requires a little bit more energy for continued display, this isn't really the full story. The article states that this small update is only required once every 15 minutes, but my guess is the vast majority of E-Ink applications have use cases where the screen is updated more frequently anyway (e.g. for e-readers you are rarely going to spend more than 15 mins on a page).

It is relevant for use cases like persistent artwork or ambient always-on displays, but I think for most of the common e-paper use cases it's a moot point.
I wonder can this be used as a replacement to XQuartz? Especially, if what I only need is for ssh X11 forwarding.

Well, I learned three things today:

- Sixels exist

- Konsole doesn't support them.

- I don't have xterm installed.

After installing xterm and trying this out, I'm pretty impressed. Though not impressed enough to stop using Konsole.

From https://www.apple.com/business/site/docs/iOS_Security_Guide....

"To protect the device from vulnerabilities in network processor firmware, network interfaces including Wi-Fi and baseband have limited access to application processor memory. When USB or SDIO is used to interface with the network processor, the network processor can’t initiate Direct Memory Access (DMA) transactions to the application processor. When PCIe is used, each network processor is on its own isolated PCIe bus. An IOMMU on each PCIe bus limits the network processor’s DMA access to pages of memory containing its network packets or control structures."

I'm not a crossfitter either, but I've trained at Crossfit gyms for about a year in the past. Yes, high intensity training with complex Olympic movements create a situation where injuries might more easily occur, but if one just goes there for a few months to learn the basics of movements/lifting form, it can be beneficial even if you go workout by yourself later on.
All the more reason to post a thoughtful comment, not toss off flamebait.

Don’t make phone calls on the teleco layer. Make them on the application later, such as FaceTime voice or Signal. If phone companies won’t secure their networks, lay a secure layer on top of the phone company network.

Maybe. Persuasion is also about finding shared success/common ground, and its almost a negotiation in that way. Look at Robert Cialdini's books on Amazon. Similarly books on negotiation by Maggie Neale or Chris Voss (Never split the difference) are really helpful.

> Going back to our message-sending example, how might we use these concepts to ensure consistency? In this case, we might break the job into two pieces, with the first one sending the message and enqueuing the second one, and the second one writing to the database. In that scenario, we can retry either job as many times as we want—if the message-sending provider is down, or the internal accounting database is down, we’ll appropriately retry until we succeed!

This still isn't any better than the initial example. It could still crash between sending the message and enqueueing the second job. So it may still send out the same message twice.

i bet that instead, you'd just get a new contract in which verizon decided that it was only free to talk to other verizon numbers, and would require you to pay extra to call outside the network. Then, they'd ask you to provide a birth certificate, SSN, CC number, and pay via direct deposit to have an account. if you want to penalize rob dialers, don't penalize companies that are not robodialing, or push the burden of law enforcement on them.
Hmm interesting read. In Sweden there is a thing called BankID and basically you can use your mobile device as a universal authenticator. Of course, you need to have the device and enter a 6-digit pin, but I often wondered how dangerous it was to use this so much. And on top of that I know people that used it in local cafes on public WiFi.

I would love to do an examination of communication via BankIDs app to the internet to see what kind of security exists to protect the user. If you can get the person's social number (personnummer) and their 6-digit code, then spoof their device (probably the easier part) you can basically take over their life in Sweden.

Such regulation will be swatted down, I'm sure. The private spaces have legal protections guaranteed by the constitution. Just like the christian baker who was protected from being forced to decorate cakes with messages he found offensive, these companies will be protected from being forced to publish speech they find offensive.

The analogy is appropriate in the sense that its not the "shouting" that is offensive, but rather that the message is considered offensive in the private place where it is expressed against the wishes of the owner of that private place.
Exactly. As it is, everytime we end up with a sizable bill I call and ask for a discount, and right away they tend to give a 10% pay in full discount. I've seen this through different providers and insurance plans. I would have never thought about it until someone suggested it to me.

Ah yes, the good old "Group 2B carcinogens" that are "possibly carcinogenic to humans". It includes lead, DDT, dry cleaning (as a job), firefighting (as a job), aloe vera extract, ginkgo extract, and pickled vegetables.

A more dangerous Group 2A includes red meat, "Shift work that involves circadian disruption", and "Very hot beverages (more than 65°C)", according to Wikipedia.

Group 1 contains UV light.

So, walking outside in a sunny day sipping coffee after eating BBQ with kimchi is probably more dangerous than cell phones. Doubly so if you're a firefighter.
I was just today looking at E-inks new 'JustWrite' technology where the screen pixels are activated by a stylus instead of the backing, so writing feels instant (and might be just about instant too). If this tech also has that possibility, then good on them. Edit: though I'm not aware of a product which incorporates it yet, which is a shame. Maybe I'm wrong - research on mobile is hard.

What I'd love is a notebook of the stuff that I could write on and save and swap the contents with an open protocol/app.

I'd also probably love hacking on the stuff. Make a 'spellbook' for one of my D&D characters where the contents change 'magically'. :)
A pattern we're seeing a lot of recently is one cluster per "stage" per region, where a "stage" is something like dev/test, canary, and prod. (In some cases only prod is replicated across multiple regions.) I think this may end up being the "sweet spot" for Kubernetes multi-tenancy architecture. The number of clusters isn't quite at the "Kubesprawl" level (I love that phrase and am absolutely going to steal it) -- you can still treat them as pets. But you get good isolation; you can limit access to the prod clusters to only the small set of folks (and perhaps the CD system) authorized to push code there, you can canary Kubernetes upgrades on the canary cluster(s), etc.

As an aside, something that's useful when thinking about Kubernetes multi-tenancy is to understand the distinction between "control plane" multi-tenancy and "data plane" multi-tenancy. Data plane multi-tenancy is about making it safe to share a node (or network) among multiple untrusting users and/or workloads. Examples of existing features for data plane multi-tenancy are gVisor/Kata, PodSecurityPolicy, and NetworkPolicy. Control plane multi-tenancy is about making it safe to share the cluster control plane among multiple untrusting users and/or workloads. Examples of existing features for control plane multi-tenancy are RBAC, ResourceQuota (particularly quota on number of objects; quota on things like cpu and memory are arguably data plane), and the EventRateLimit admission controller.

There's active work in the Kubernetes community in both of these areas; if you'd like to participate (or lurk), please join the kubernetes-wg-multi-tenancy mailing list: http://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-wg-multite...

Also, I gave a talk at KubeCon EU earlier this year that gives a rough overview of Kubernetes multi-tenancy, that might be of interest to some folks: https://kccnceu18.sched.com/event/Dqvb?iframe=no

Your clients don't though, you can have multiple versions of a crate in your build tree. Your failures aren't then compositable with newer failures as failures but they do impl Error and can be used as standard errors.

The alternative is to just use... standard errors anyway? With the aforementioned sizable boilerplate? There's no downside to failure unless there's a less volatile error replacement you'd use instead.
