The Supreme Court didn't grant cert; that's different. That means they don't want to set precedent or believe sufficient precedent exists already. This was last adjudicated in 1999 with Saenz v. Roe, where California tried to set new residents' welfare to what they got in other states for one year. The court ruled this violated the constitutional protection of interstate travel, and upheld the view that the 14th amendment applied all constitutional rights to all states. Source: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourteenth_amendment_0

This undoubtedly then applies the 5th amendment takings clause: “…nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” This is clearly violated in this sense, and the state cannot violate this right (see above).

The fact that the Supreme Court didn't grant cert probably means they believe there is already precedent here, or just as probably that they didn't have the time. They always have a full docket; they were probably just out of slots.

I urge others to rebut this from a legal sense, not just say they disagree. People keep killing my comments, but it seems like they all just dislike the "selfish" appearance of the actions.
Really exciting to see this released!

Is there a good distro to run this on? I run Ubuntu at home but from my understanding, adding Sway to Ubuntu seems non-trivial. Is there a good distro I can switch to that supports Sway?
The problem still is the charging time. EV occupied the space longer than a gas car does refill. Until we reached the technology where the batteries can be charged in seconds, 'drive EV as effortlessly as driving a gas car' is a bit of overstatement i think.
Doesn't escape HTML chars properly, at least in titles. I'm seeing one story now with the title "Things we&apos;d change in existing college football playoff".
The original dailybeast article also keeps pointing fingers at Amazon but fails to mention (in context) how night shift workers are at a higher risk of depression and related factors:

> On the other hand, 5 studies on nighttime shift work in occupations outside the health sector, with observation periods of two or more years, yielded evidence of an elevated risk of depression after several years of nighttime shift work, but not in any uniform pattern. A supplementary meta-analysis of 5 of the studies revealed a 42% increase of the risk of depression among persons working the night shift (95% confidence interval [0.92; 2.19]). [0]

That's important context here, and conveniently omitted.

> Wouldn't be surprised if we saw AWS do something similar for Redis, MongoDB, Kafka, etc.

They started on their own Redis fork a while ago as ElastiCache has had baked in SSL for over a year and half now. While it's possible they've added it via an stunnel type software stop it, I'd bet for efficiency and simplicity it's baked into their internal fork: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/amazon-elasticache-now...
What about them? (Can you send a fax over those media, and are they protected similarly?) Or are you asking a different question?

If it's not on a phone line, then it's not afforded those legal protections. None of those communication media you just mentioned are using a phone line as a transport mechanism. (They're also not similar to fax from a UX standpoint.)
Ah yes. Dorky urbanites. Certainly nobody who grew up in areas most minimally called "exurbs" would ever say that a two-stroke engine is unconscionably filthy to run. Certainly nobody who ever hand-raked a five-acre lawn growing up. One of the nice side effects of moving out of such places is that the impact I cause on the environment is significantly smaller and with effort it can be smaller still, but definitely--no idea what I'm talking about. Nope.

Or, put more bluntly: your complaints are against the voices in your head. Airing them here is ugly. And you still shouldn't use gas-powered blowers. (I'd say "at least use a four-stroke", but they're probably too heavy to be practical given what you've said.)
I'm the one that this comment chain is replying too. I mention that I'm hyper-productive compared to my past self. For me, the change involved getting diagnosed with cancer about 3 years ago. I've posted here before about it but the experience led to a lot of reflection and I realised I didn't want to die because I was unhappy with the life I was living. If I was going to die I wanted to have had a good life. I'm all cancer free now but I've still got the drive to live a good life.

Like it! Could you let us know the tech stack used to build this?
If you have a number that can receive fax, then getting stuff into a format that you can use becomes the sender's problem.
See my above reply; the 14th amendment applies the takings clause to California, and the supremacy clause further reinforces that The Constitution trumps california's constitution.
There's zero evidence to support any one theory. What we know is what's in the article -- that Amazon had 189 incidents in five years.
I think you have it backwards with regard to HiDPI. DPI scaling in X is a nightmare. Sway claims to have the best HiDPI support of any desktop environment due to modern Wayland support. Getting X applications to scale with Wayland HiDPI will require workarounds because of the lack of DPI support in X.
Not sure why I got down voted. Is there anything I said that's factually incorrect?
Is this only a problem with x11 apps? If so, I'm a little surprised there's not a Wayland based build for Electron that'd make it easy to fix the issue for vscode?

Hm, looks like the branch/subproject in chrome is "ozone" and some work is ongoing there:

tl;dr: burnout (+ woowoo + psychadelics)

To be honest, you didn't have to read the article to know it was going to be burnout, because that's why everyone quits tech and does something completely different.

So this is like a platform where your translators work together and you keep track of all your translations?

If this is correct it seems like a super niche product. Very few companies directly employ translators or need a solution for keeping track of translations.
So that is a no then? If the board decides that for AGI to benefit humanity they need more investors, they can just as well remove the cap for a future investor or raise it to 200x.
As an investor. What is not clear about that?
Salt water crocs are active human hunters and will almost definitely kill. They have also dragged humans and livestock from the land back to water. In the water is obviously dangerous and near the water is also fatal.
Having had direct involvement with military exercises over 16 years I would be far more concerned with a story title that claimed the opposite.

One of the purposes of military exercises is to stretch soldiers/sailors/Airmen, their platform capabilities, their interoperability, and their leadership(Command/control).

Lose in exercises, learn from it, and adapt to discovered vulnerabilities.

If the “good guys” win every military exercise and every firefight or contact within them, the likelihood of complacency rises and retained learning is much lower.

Humbling defeats in training can lead to quiet high knowledge acquisition and retention.

Being involced in military innovation across multiple 5 Eyes militaries, there is great value in applying both real and theoretical extensions and recombination to enemy capability to help friendly forces adapt and respond in real time.
The intelligence community has been intercepting faxes for decades.[1] It's not very secure. Even worse, VoIP systems recognize fax modem signals, decode them, transmit them as data, and re-encode them as fax modem signals.[2] They have to; VoIP has such awful jitter and bandwidth that you can't send modem signals over it. So it's easy to peel off the fax data and log it. This is done routinely using fax servers.

> Well, the entire genre is built around the concept of competitive elimination.

But bracket-style voting prevents the drama of upsets where a candidate most people think is good-but-not-best gets eliminated while a candidate widely seen as poor but with a dedicated fan base who would easily get clobbered in a bracket (or sensibly aggregated ranked preference) system gets spared by the perversity of an inverse first-past-the-post system.

Which drama is no doubt why inverse FPTP is so dominant in the genre, where audience voting is involved.

> Do it with access to healthcare and you sure turn the intensity up on elimination.

Oh, sure, I'm not arguing against that, just that brackets in particular would be a surprising choice.
Same here, I struggled for years with basic editing and tried numerous packages with poor quality results. I had to film and edit a series of interviews last year, and Kdenlive was the first video editor I was able to produce good quality output with.

I wish I had tried it earlier but I think the KDE dependencies put me off, fortunately it's also released as an AppImage and runs perfectly on my Ubuntu desktop.
Why doesn't Windows drop the purported compatibility with CP/M and get rid of control-z being a special file marker at this point? Lots of legacy code relying on it?
Congrats on the release! You should be very proud of what your movement has accomplished.

I want to highlight something that I appreciate in your release post, which is the short explanation between paragraphs 1 & 2:

"Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland desktop for Linux and FreeBSD"

One of my major peeves with OSS projects is the tendency to adopt an "if you're reading this, you already know what this is for" stance. It's not just elitist... it's a missed opportunity to bring passers-by into the fold.

It might seem dull or repetitive to people that are deep in the trees to see layman explanations, but at least linking to them is a small but appreciated nod of respect to people who are just coming online.

To this end, I would challenge that you could set an amazing example that goes further towards accomplishing these goals by linking the words in that description to readable explanations of what the words mean in the context of this project. Your goal should be to move beyond what Sway is and perhaps start with why Sway exists. It's clear that this is important, but someone coming in has no idea what motivated you and your army of contributors to stop other important projects and build this. Where does it fit into the concepts that they are already familiar with? What other technologies does it replace? What can I do with this that I couldn't do before? Are there tradeoffs to using this over other solutions? Are there situations where I shouldn't use this? And eventually: are there newer projects that Sway inspires which are even better that I should probably be using instead?

If we look at your explanation in this new light, "Sway is an i3-compatible Wayland desktop for Linux and FreeBSD", you can see that it's opaque to people who aren't already familiar. i3... you mean like the Intel i3? What's Wayland? I use Ubuntu... isn't that my desktop? I heard MacOS is based on FreeBSD, so can I use this on a Mac?

These aren't problems, they are opportunities to be a hero to the silent majority of people who have no freaking clue what a tiling window manager is or why it might be applicable to them.
Sorry, I should clarify - the Falcon second-stage landing has been shelved. At this point Falcon is mostly a mature rocket, with (as I understand) the only continuing development being on the fairing recovery systems.
I had to re-read it too. He does not say that the same dev should do all these things
Another shameless plug:

It doesn't exactly simplify the Debian packaging in my case as it leaves the packaging mostly exposed.

But it provides a lot of far more convenient and easy to remember commands (make rpm, make deb, make deb_repo, make rpm_repo, etc) compared to the easy to forget options of rpmbuild/mock and dpkg-buildpackage/cowbuilder.

It also glues everything together from upstream source recovery to building the final repository ready to be rsynced on a public server.
No one has actually provided a counter argument. A list of 1000 over billions of humans just shows how rare this idea is. That article isn't arguing semantics, and as a matter of a fact it is showing that the truthiness of an autodidact is to be called into question given the nature of mastering a domain.
Hot Spots of IT Labor Market
Not necessarily - if your all-in-one printer/fax/scanner combo machine is also connected to both the POTS and your internal network (as most probably are), it can be used as an attack vector: https://blog.checkpoint.com/2018/08/12/faxploit-hp-printer-f...
That will happen when there are unmovable files. There are a few tricks you can do to unlock some of these files, or you can use an external utility that you reboot into.

This article is from a vendor of such a utility, but it also describes how to unlock some of the unmovable files within Windows:

Mail delegation covers "anyone can send it out" and 'there is only 1 fax number". Automatically print covers "paper automatically appears" and "don't have to constantly check the email".

What exactly are you hoping to modernize (other than "technology A has been around longer than technology B"). If it's hardware e.g. a physical fax machine with a physical line and you want to get rid of that line there are existing options to do that with or without getting rid of the fax machine and with or without changing the workflow to some other technology stack like email.

If it's "fax is insecure" I agree but until that actually becomes a problem for the businesses on the other end nobody is going to care enough to deal with the change.

The list of big O classes is the following:

var classes = [
define_func("0"),
define_func("1"),
define_func("lg(n)"),
define_func("sqrt(n)"),
define_func("n"),
define_func("n * lg(lg((n)))"),
define_func("n * lg(n)"),
define_func("n * sqrt(n)"),
define_func("n**2"),
define_func("n**3"),
define_func("n**4"),
define_func("2**n"),
define_func("n**n"),
define_func("factorial(n)"),
define_func("2**(2**n)"),
define_func("n**(n**n)"),
];

lg(lg(N)) is very small, for 1e30, the value is
approximately ~6 and at 1e60 it is ~7.6, at which point lg(lg(N)) is pretty much a constant value (or trivial), but yes - it is technically included in the growth rate, but for practical purposes can probably be ignored
There is an alternative, called internet.

Faxing for CC authorizations certainly is not the best. Or I’m way confused and don’t understand your conditions of “best”
It's hard to hire in SV because it's the most competitive talent landscape for technology in the world.

I work in recruiting (software salespeople), and this is by far the best market in the world for hiring in that niche. The talent you get here is significantly better than anywhere else. I make the analogy that it's like hiring for finance in London or New York. Outside of a global city, working at Goldman Sachs is impressive. However when you're hiring in NYC you can get much more granular - getting someone who's worked in the right team, on the right sort of deals etc.

There are plenty of actors in the world, but Hollywood is where entertainment deals are done. We'd laugh at someone trying to hire the worlds best Oil & Gas team in San Francisco. These are the big leagues.

One of my former clients was eFax, which parlayed the money it earned from eFax subscriptions into becoming a publicly-traded internet holding company behemoth. They own dozens of second-tier internet media and e-telecommunications sites.

There's a lot of money in fax.

Great to see that it is actual FOSS (Affero GPLv3), and not some weird home-brewed 'open' license!
I'm guessing part of the appeal is the simplicity. At its purest, faxing is point-to-point, and unlike email doesn't need any servers/other infra (read: potential points of failure) beyond the telephone system itself.
"As a Nissan Leaf driver without a home charger" isn't that the main problem and not the current charging network?
It's the language of the city and the region. Walk through downtown San Francisco and you hear people talking about funding, about IPOs, about engineering, about CAC and LTV. For better and for worse, everyone is in tech here.
Is there any indication of what avenues OpenAI will be (or would consider) using to generate revenue? A lot of the most financially lucrative opportunities for AI (surveillance/tracking, military) are morally ambiguous at best.
Ireland is the same length as America, which people often abbreviate to USA or US. This also cuts the confusion of America's multiple potential meanings (North/South continents, etc).

I wouldn't be surprised if OpenAI had some crazy aquisition in its future by one of the tech giants. Press release says 'We believe the best way to develop AGI is by joining forces with X and are excited to use it to seel you better ads. We also have turned the profits we would have payed taxes on to a non profit that pays us salaries for researching the quality of sand in the Bahamas'
Not keeping a schedule, i.e. ""I'm not keeping a schedule for 2007, so I can't commit to that, but give me a call on Tuesday at 2:45 and if I'm available, I'll meet with you."".

I don't know too many people who would be happy about being told you value their time so much. I keep a tight schedule and I plan around it instead. I also don't feel the need for an index card each night. I already have my lists of jobs that I need to get done and some of those jobs are due tomorrow.
Just commenting on the aside, we should be careful about painting with an overly broad brush. Each of these companies and organizations is different, at least two you've mentioned are fully opensource afaik not open core (Redhat and Sentry). Redhat continues to do tons of opensource work across many ecosystems, kubernetes, linux kernel, gnome, etc. The Redhat sw model isn't open core, because what they sell isn't proprietary afaict its a support with updates model, that they also distribute under a different brand then the opensource (fedora/centos/openshift okd). Additionally we're talking about a multi-billion dollar company, seems like a success to me. For Sentry, their more focused on Saas platform, but afaics an on premise distribution model doesn't reference a commercial product thats differential to their opensource repos aka its not open core, afaics. [update] sentry on premise install docs https://docs.sentry.io/server/installation/
This is a good project to happen, and kudos to AWS for doing this! However, like some in the thread, I suspect AWS has been building this for a while for their own product and Elastic's license change may have influenced the decision to open-source.

Getting a good out-of-the-box granular security has been a long overdue pain point with ElasticSearch, there have been good alternatives for the other problems it is replicating.

1.) ElastAlert - https://github.com/yelp/elastalert for alerting,
2.) ElasticSearch SQL - https://github.com/NLPchina/elasticsearch-sql for writing SQL queries.

Would very much like to hear from OP why these weren't contributed to instead of creating another alternative.

We've been working on a similar project in Golang and now well may be as good a day to open-source and put it out there: https://github.com/appbaseio/arc. It's an extremely light-weight API gateway for ElasticSearch that at the core comes with an out-of-the-box security system based on users and permissions (set granular ACLs, Rate Limits, TTL) inspired from a proprietary security system we built over the past year - https://appbase.io/features/security/.
If you are creating a bunch of “dev op scripts”, you’re doing it wrong.

I wrote one parameterized Cloud Formation template that creates our build pipeline for any new service. Most of the time we can use the prebuilt Docker containers (maintained by AWS) for our build environment. We have one or two bespoke Docker containers for special snowflake builds.

And if you haven’t read my other posts, and I get accused of being young and inexperienced, let me just say that my first “internet based application” used the Gopher protocol....
Working here sounds exhausting. If you shipped me off to the woods and told me that my job depended on playing along with team-building and round-table compliment sessions (there is an apt descriptor for this that I will not use here) I would probably give in and play along but I would not feel a sense of culture. I am guessing that people think “If this is the price for being allowed to come to work in a T-shirt, whatever” but I will admit to being more opposed to forced socializing than most.

Communication is a key bottleneck. Modern supercomputers budget roughly half to interconnect.
Nvidia invested heavily in developing NVLINK to be able to make GPUs communicate at the bandwidth necessary to make multi-GPU boxes more practical (e.g. DGX-1). To make it scale out across multiple boxes, you need a high bandwidth, low latency interconnect, which is where IB comes in.
You pay for this in data entry. Sending pages, means that someone has to retype the data into a database compared to sending it in some kind of data structure that can be imported. Or worse the data doesnt get entered, and it ends up in a filing cabinet.

The only other predator I know of that sees humans as prey most of the time is the polar bear. Sharks sometimes bite humans as a “test” and then lose interest, wolves need to be desperate or sick to hunt humans, lions and other big cats can become “man eaters” and yet it isn’t their norm. Polar bears just look at us and see a snack.
> Good for the consumer, but bad for the company that originally created the core FOSS technology and best for Amazon.

I don't know if this is a bad pattern in general for the company that originally created the core FOSS technology. If your business model is support/consultancy this may work to your advantage.
