True, and at least at two levels:

1) The amount of DNA does not determine the complexity of an organism.

2) Also, the number of protein-coding genes does not determine the complexity of an organism.

You may have meant (2), and only (2). If so, this is clearly true, as much of the complexity comes from non-protein DNA.

Still, (1) is also true, but one could argue, more due to random inefficiencies, or alternatively if you rank degree of complexity based only on phenotypes.

My preferred definition of complexity, or rather of irreducible complexity, is to say that complexity is determined by the minimum number of bits of information that is needed to create an equivalent output. (where, naturally, the definition of equivalence needs to be supplied for a given domain)

By this definition, DNA length (not number of genes) places an upper bound on complexity an organism can have.
I'd be very interested in seeing if there's a similarly worded vkontakte or livejournal post from their admins, about removing "coordinated inauthentic behavior" from american sources.

Edit: I'm not alleging the US is doing such a thing in an organized manner, as the Russian "internet research agency" does, what I'm asking is whether the knee jerk response from Russian Facebook competitors (or state media like RT, Sputnik) will be to make the same allegations but in reverse. And if so, what form that will take.
It's still extremely prolific, it's just not "cool". There are some very talented programmers working in PHP land.

You are confusing leasing bandwidth on a satellite with having a bitcoin satellite.
I want to add a few notes useful for packet crafting. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure don't work at layer 2 (Ethernet) as expected since they provide services at layer 3 and up.

For example, if you modify the MAC destination address it will not work in AWS. To be able to do that you should disable source/destination checks as is specified in [1].

The last time I checked you cannot do that in Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure.

When we experienced this issue, Reddit was the best resource for answers. I put the Reddit threads as they can help others working in projects requiring packet crafting:

> I intend to have the update model of ChromeOS (two partition scheme, reboot to update), but Void being a rolling release only distribution may bring me same pains as Alpine edge brings to postmarketOS.

You're kind of reinventing NixOS, but worse (NixOS has atomic upgrades and allows you to return to any generation of your system, not only the last one).
Looking awesome! What type of pen can be used?
> without having to checkout / open for edit.

The terminology is a bit different - unless configured with mandatory locking (essential for some workflows) you don't have to open for edit. You just edit stuff and it goes in the "default changelist", roughly equivalent to automatic staging.

> Without a staging area, you’d either have to always fix mistakes with new commits

Mistakes at what point? In the normal svn workflow you can review with svn diff, then when you're happy do svn commit; it's just that there's no local place you're committing to. In both cases there's a critical point, either "svn commit" or "git push".
Then you're talking about a different thing. Your "fraud!" customers are people who have actively chosen to pay for your service, then actively chosen to claim fraud and get their money back.

Everyone else is talking about people who were forced to put a CC on a free trial and then were automatically charged for a service they either forgot to cancel or couldn't cancel through the channels. (Or decided not to bother with the channels since they're almost always a pain in the ass.)

It's a different situation entirely.
I second this.

Without going into what I've tried and yadda yadda yadda, white noise, my credentials and so on - PHPStorm id the IDE. No Atom / VSCode or whatever can't compare. You get ctrl+click go to definition, you get ssh terminal, you get XDebug integration, it plays with Vue/ES6/React, you get MySQL integration, Vagrant integration, extensions to get VIM bindings and so on. Next to proper keyboard, monitor and mouse - buying PHPStorm is hands down one best money spent when it comes to what I work with every day.

I'm NOT saying "you can't get X with Y editor which is free" - sure, I believe you can, but this thing completely satisfies my every requirement and I don't have to spend time looking for integration extension or whatever. It saved me a ton of time so far, it will do so in future - I approve it, however I don't think anyone's editor "sucks and you should go with PHPStorm". Everyone should go for what they think brings them the best experience / value.
Docker or some kind of container tool is great when you have a big team and need to maintain a stable copy of the environment for everyone. It's not without it's challenges though. We used Vagrant at a place I worked at, and for me at least it was a constant struggle to maintain then dozen different vagrant environments for the different projects. All kinds of version mis-matches and so on. No fun.

I wouldn't use it for solo-development or side projects. Not worth the brain-space.
I'd be quite dangerous and very uncomfortable: exhaled air contains ~4% CO₂, 16% O₂ and is at roughly 100% humidity.

* at 4% CO₂ you'll be suffering from moderate CO₂ toxicity (narcosis, dizzy spells, increased heart rate & blood pressure, mild shortness of breath, exaggerated response to effort)

* at only 16% O₂ (but assuming atmospheric pressure), you're well into chronic hypoxia land, not quite sure lethal but not far, the hyperventilation from CO₂ poisoning will make this slightly better but nowhere near good

* the combination of hypoxia and CO₂ poisoning will make effort (let alone exercise) possibly to probably lethal

* the extreme levels of humidity will make the entire thing even worse as you'll have a hard time cooling down

You can probably live in this situation for a few days, but the CO₂ levels alone would make it lethal past a few weeks, the combination of all factors means likely no more than a pair thereof, at best.

People see cancellation and asking for refunds as an awkward conversation. Calling a bank is easier, and Amex / other providers have buttons online to say "stop charges" or "dispute charges" - easier still, and they know where to find it.

(I just had one service I'd trialled & forgotten about ask me to arrange a ... VIDEO CHAT to cancel runs screaming)

But also - if that's what customers are doing, your cancellation button probably isn't as obvious or findable as you'd think (or people lose their passwords). And if you're a small SaaS shop, you probably don't have the time or energy to workshop the whole cancellation experience :)

idk, there's no right answer but "baffling" customer behaviour is always an opportunity to improve what you're offering.

> I don't know any more than this paragraph or two explains, but it sounds like NIH syndrome. If you chose to write your own solution just because a 3rd party one was complicated or expensive, you've underestimated the complexity and expense of developing and supporting new software. Not only do you have software developers developing your business products, but now you have software developers developing the IT tools that support the software developers writing the business products.

I think the part "Leveraging in-house primitives" is the important bit here. It sounds like they have an in-house task queue, so introducing another external one like Celery might add a lot of operational complexity rather than piggy backing on existing infrastructure. As for the reason for the existing infrastructure not being Celery, I suspect at Dropbox's scale tools like Celery start to break down.

> Or you could, like, install Jenkins, write your tests, and do all this without writing your own distributed job queue system.

They likely haven't written their own job queue, they've just used an existing one. Again, the operational overhead of Jenkins is unfortunately very non trivial.

That only makes sense if we label foods with every step of their production and the labels would become large documents. There is nothing special about GM which warrants a special label.

GM is probably much safer than mutation via massive radiation - but nobody is asking to label that.
Not allowing people to call their custom docker tooling "docker-custom-tooling" on eg. Github seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot. Of course, it might be bad and damage their brand, but it could also enable a great ecosystem of surrounding tooling, some of which they could bless if they wanted to. Imho a poor PR move.
It could be that the hoarders were always present but before modern abundance and throwaway culture, their condition never manifested in a way that made them stand out from everybody else.

You said in another comment that your service requires explicit user action to convert from free trial to paid subscription.

So why are you pretending not to know the difference in this comment?
It depends what we mean by quality. They could be of higher durability (although they didn't necessarily owe it to the fact they were hand-made in and of itself).
You also have the "right to regret" so within 14 days of buying stuff online you can cancel and refund it no questions asked by law.

Although this comes with some caveats. The consumer protection rules for distance selling are very strict in the EU, but if you're buying something like digital content, it's obviously not reasonable to say someone can pay today but can't then be provided with what they've just paid for for 14 days just in case they decide to cancel. The law does provide for giving up those cancellation rights and getting the content immediately, as long as it's clearly stated at the time of purchase that this is what you're doing.
Not sure if I understand your concept correctly, sounds like Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP).
> which is interesting given most providers are writing new infrastructure code largely in Go

I'm not sure this is true. There's a lot of Java around, Scala is pretty popular too, in many industries C/C++ are the norm still for this sort of code.

Go might be the trend in open source infrastructure projects right now, but a significant amount of that is likely to be inertia from Docker and Kubernetes.
Disclaimer: I have worked for Azure in the past -not anymore- and specifically in Networking.

Do you have evidence that they've been saying they block ICMP because of security reasons that I can forward to the right folks? I can help getting this feedback to them to correct that, because I can guarantee 100% that's not the reason why ICMP is not forwarded by the SLB (and engineering/PM would never say it's for security reasons).
Simple math will tell you that this increase cannot be due to desalination. Look:

Volume of the Persian Gulf = Area (251,000 sq km) * average depth (50 m) = 12,000 cubic km approx.

Total amount of desalinated water produced in the world, per annum = 86 million cu. m = 0.086 cu. km,

So if all of the world's desalinated water was taken from the Persian Gulf, for 150 years, the salinity would only increase by 0.08*150/12000 = 0.1%, roughly.

"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle"

Classic propaganda mantra. The term may have negative connotations to some people today, but if you're being technical the term is neutral. There is propaganda for bad things, and propaganda for good things. Consider that during WWII, both sides were producing unambiguous propaganda:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_propaganda_during_Wor...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_the_Soviet_Union...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_propaganda_during_Worl...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_Nazi_Germany

The last is obviously where the negative connotations for propaganda come from, but they certainly didn't invent it and the people who opposed them were using it too. Propaganda is just a tool, and like most tools, it's amoral. Neither moral nor immoral. What matters is what you use it for. A hammer is amoral, you could use it to build an orphanage or to hit an orphan.
That is a fair point as well.

Businesses aren't offering these trials out of charity, they're doing it to give you a chance to see if you want to become their customer, as a form of marketing.

Luckily we have "update nights" at most once every other month. But the workflow you describe is what I would want in the end. I work in a small startup tough so change is happening rapidly to make these processes better. It's far from institutionalized!

Thanks for the concern and tips nonetheless!

The original article is titled "On where they publish", #5 in a series. The series is described as: "Pluto Network will share its thoughts on i) the problems with incentive structure in academia, ii) why it is making scientists not collaborate but rather compete with each other, and why they have to matter to all of us"

The word "slave" does not appear in the linked-to text, nor any other essay in the series.

Overuse of the word "slavery" for things which aren't slavery diminishes the brutality of slavery.

Or, how are they "slaves" and not "peons" or "serfs" or "proletariats" or any other terms for powerless workers?

FWIW, the series seemed aimed for readers with little knowledge of academic research. This might include people with an undergraduate degree or in early grad school. The first few essays set the groundwork, which I mostly skipped. I didn't find it interesting until #3, "Publish, but really Perish?".

And again, nothing in the series hinted at being "slaves".
No, I'm reinventing ChromeOS. I started on this project with my father in mind, to make it easier for me to maintain his computer. My father would not run NixOS, but maybe I'm wrong. This will give a single image and very little tooling outside of end user parts. It probably will be much simpler.

If totally seamless and _automatic_ updates can be achieved with NixOS I'm all ears.
