Without going into specifics. We have large external data feeds that are used and correlated with other customer specific data (multitenant business customers) and it also needs to be searchable. There are times we get new data relevant to customers that cause us to reindex.

We are just focusing on databases here. There is more to infrastructure than just databases. Should we also maintain our own load balancers, queueing/messaging systems, CDN, object store, OLAP database, CI/CD servers, patch management system, alerting monitoring system, web application firewall, ADFS servers, OATH servers, key/value store, key management server, ElasticSearch cluster etc? Except for the OLAP database. All of this is set up in some form in multiple isolated environments with different accounts in one Organizational Account that manages all of the other sub accounts.

What about our infrastructure overseas so our off shore developers don’t have the latency of connecting back to the US?

For some projects we even use lambda where we don’t maintain any web servers and get scalability from 0 to $a_lot - and no there is no lock-in boogeyman there either. I can deploy the same NodeJS/Express, C#/WebAPI, Python/Django code to both lambda and a regular old VM just by changing my deployment pipeline.

Calling it an emulation layer is more than slightly disingenuous. MCAS just sits and watches until a specific set of circumstances occur. Only then does it try to trim the nose down. Did they implement it well, no. Is that an "emulation layer", no.
It entirely depends on what you're trying to deal with. You may solve some problems there but looking at real data is a must for solving others.

See, that exact example is why I look askew at a lot of the field of 'AI ethics'

I mean, human drivers' education doesn't cover choosing who to kill in unavoidable crashes. Isn't that because we believe crashes where the driver can't avoid the crash, but can choose who to kill, are so rare as to be negligible?

IMHO much more realistic and pressing AI ethics questions surround e.g. neural networks for setting insurance prices, and whether they can be shown not to discriminate against protected groups.
You keep the curators to 5-6 experts in each field, with a reputation for being straight.

1st order thinking dominates our politics and economics. And worse, there's no incentive for 2nd order thinking from our politicians, since the electorate doesn't go beyond 1st order. Further, pre-existing assumptions are usually backed by 1st order thinking, but not 2nd.

Not a bad little book promoting 2nd order thinking in economics: https://fee.org/resources/economics-in-one-lesson/
Whenever SVG rendering engines come up, sooner or later the question of "which part of the SVG spec does it render incorrectly?" comes up. How does this one fare?

I get the impression that often these rendering bugs are partially caused by old optimizations that break later spec changes or missed some edge cases the first time around, so I hope that means this engine does better than most because it's more recent, built from-the-ground-up and can learn from the mistakes of others.
How is that a counter example? Just because you're not focusing on profits doesn't mean you are focusing on rigorous engineering.

Bigquery exists only in Google Cloud. This is a columnar database like Redshift. It is not designed for fast processing small queries that are necessary to support the operation of any application. Its main feature is that it can scale the execution of heavy analytical queries between 10,000 nodes transparently for the end user. Users have no control over Bigquery instances. This is super cost effective cloud analytical database as a service to be used as centralized data warehouse for company of any size.

Whilst I admire determination, enthusiasm and persistence; if none of the ideas had come to fruition or contributed anything meaningful, it could have been misconstrued as gish gallop. It probably requires second-order thinking just to manage such a scenario, which is not uncommon.

While that is clearly true, a surprising number of US citizens do, in my experience, recognize the celebrity of British royals.

Right, but those Founding Fathers were pretty good at words. They were very careful to not say that everyone is equal. Largely because most of them didn't actually believe that. What they were most concerned about was someone not lording it over them. They were entirely relaxed about lording it over others, for example.

Docker for windows uses hyper-v for it's virtualization. It works.

But if you're running win10 virtually then it's not going to be able to run hyper-v, that's a limitation of window and hyper-v and not docker.

But if you're running win10 via a vm why don't you just already have the host start a linux docker vm instead of hyper-v in hyper-v?
> According to CNN the US imports 7.9 million barrels a day from Saudi Arabia.

That is not what that article says. It says:

"The United States still imports 7.9 million barrels of foreign crude per day and a sizable chunk comes from Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter."

The US imported just less than a million barrels per day of crude oil + products from Saudi Arabia in 2017. It was down to 770,000 per day for January 2019.

Imports from Saudi Arabia have been cut in half since 2003. If the US wanted to it could easily entirely remove them from the oil import mix. They're no longer a required supplier for the US.

If you want to see a nation the US depends on for oil: the US imported four million barrels of crude oil per day from Canada in January.

It’s also interesting that those who popularized the term “fake news” (left wing politicians) used it to discredit their opposition, by claiming some sort of “collusion” between Trump and the Russians.

As in, the phenomenon of fake news was actually faked? Could this even be messier?

TL;DR:

The traditional VC backed tech startup growth curve is an exercise in giving something away for less than it's worth, such as selling a $10 bill for $5. This is done to dominate the market. You will become very popular very quickly and dominate the $10 bull market by selling them for $5. After dominating the market you must find some way to become profitable. Often when a company tries to raise prices and become profitable they find that the market evaporates, you won't sell many $10 bills for $11 even if you run a managed service that makes it convenient. For "gig-economy" startups this screws the workers because their jobs evaporate with the market. The article ends with a call to action.
Making a mistake is not lying, but it is a moral failing to promulgate fiction as fact because it accords with your preferred narrative, especially when it's done by the media, who are trusted because they are supposed to practice restraint and good judgment.

They tried to sell functionality that isn't good at raytracing for raytracing, and hardware that has a 4x4 matrix ALU as a tensor unit for AI, but it isn't big/powerful enough for existing AI frameworks to take advantage of in normal usage (nor should a desktop-oriented card have such a thing).

... and then they enabled their raytracing API on GTX 1000 series cards, after repeatedly telling them it requires the hardware acceleration that RTX 2000 series cards have. Not only that, it didn't perform all that badly.

So yeah, that new Radeon series is looking mighty nice right now.

They're rare because attempts to actually use Haskell in the field result in disaster. When you're hiring random programmers off the street to code your shitty business logic in Haskell, the result is a horrible mess of 'Unsafes, exploding memory leaks and random crashes. It's a train wreck.
That's not really what they mean by 'stack' in this context, though. That's a 'stack' as a form of memory management, which is just a LIFO queue. In this sense they mean a "software stack" which is just a bunch of nested software systems (eg. OS <--> Web server <--> Web application).

That turned out well don't you think? Iraq was a historical enemy whereas Saudi Arabia is a key ally of the United States. This alone should give you the feeling that there's something happening behind the curtains to justify such an alliance with a... controversial country.
> I mean, human drivers' education doesn't cover choosing who to kill in unavoidable crashes. Isn't that because we believe crashes where the driver can't avoid the crash, but can choose who to kill, are so rare as to be negligible?

I'd look at a few other reasons:

- We don't have "driving ethics" classes at all. Human driving education covers how to drive. "AI ethics" might cover many things, but I don't think "how to drive" is on that list. That topic falls under "AI", not "AI ethics".

- The usual example you hear about is an AI driver choosing whether to kill a pedestrian or the driver. There is no point in having a "driving ethics for humans" class which teaches that it is your moral duty to kill yourself in order to avoid killing a pedestrian. No one would pay attention to that, and people would rightly attack the class itself as being a moral abomination.

This example actually makes me more sympathetic to the traditional view that (e.g. for Catholics) suicide is a mortal sin, or (for legalists) suicide should be illegal. This has perverse consequences, like assuring the grieving family that at least their loved one is burning in hell, or subjecting failed suicides to legal penalties. But as a cultural practice, it immunizes everyone against those who would tell them to kill themselves.
This board could have been non-partisan, filled with leading thinkers in the space from academia and industry, and given meaningful access and authority.

> 1st order thinking dominates our politics and economics.

At least in U.S. politics, we have a surplus of second order thinking. We can't get mundane immediate compromises made because people are worried about identities, factions, and trust issues, which are all second order concerns.

For instance, it's not controversial to think that H1B visas are a mess, but legislation on specific immigration reform tends to get stymied by the desire for comprehensive immigration reform. Why not just fix one immigration problem? Because immigration proponents and restrictionists do not trust each other that the piecemeal reforms they want will be passed the next time around.

The same pattern comes up in plenty of other controversial issues such as abortion, tax reform, and lately judicial appointments.
So, getting back to OP's message. Do you think that there are currently forums like Reddit but with more substance?

Let's take some of the DIY forums. Reddit can get pretty useful, but how does this relate to 1999? Back then, getting DIY videos was difficult. Now the trick is getting to the right kind of quality videos. But perhaps in 1999 if you read something and engaged online the experience was maybe more personal/fulfilling/substancial?
It's the best way to understand cleanly separated hierarchical systems, sure. So it's great for computers (which are designed this way by humans to keep their complexity manageable), but it's a poor way to understand biological systems (for example) which are a mush of innumerable interconnected feedback loops beyond the capacity of any human mind to fully understand.
My guess is that it's weirdly phrased to highlight that the defense is odd.
