For latency it depends, having a fiber connection to a data center in a nearby city gives 0-2ms latency. Using WiFi adds about 50-100ms. Keyboard-to-computer 10-20ms, computer-to-screen 10-20 ms, software rendering 0-2 ms. So if you have a good Internet connection (and not using wifi) you wouldn't really notice if the "app" was running on your computer or on a server. Try for example ssh -X and start a GUI app/game on a server.
The history tend to repeat itself, maybe in a few years we will mostly be using realy lightweight mobile devices connected to a powerful server in some noisy data-center.
I do have a hate and love relationship with hardware though, running your own computer is one order of magnitude cheaper then running one in the cloud. So server hosting prices need to go down.
How convenient of you to selectively handpick few cases of opposition leaders while ignoring all those journalists who are jailed under Draconian laws for posting things govt didn't like.

I don't need lectures from BJP supporters about being biased. Except Indira's emergency, I don't remember journalists being jailed under NSA. get your facts straight from real media and not whatsapp forwards

P.s. this acc is made a few hrs ago. Obviously a fake acc
Civil disruption just highlights the problem over and over. We all know there is a problem. Absolutely no-one denies it. Rather than stating the problem over and over - what is YOUR solution? Renewables are not efficient enough to replace coal - if we switch off coal then we equally destroy civilisation and economies just like climate change because renewables are far more expensive and not as efficient as coal. We would effectively be turning off all electricity.

I propose nuclear and pumping money at electric cars because they are solutions that you can pump at a government and are efficient, and bring major change quickly! Protest about that, don't pretend we don't know about climate change - we all do!!! I've come up with some - WHAT IS YOUR ACTIONABLE SOLUTION??!!
> Nothing I said contradicted any of that.

You made it seem as if the people arguing for decent treatment of illegal migrants are somehow for 'open borders', when nobody on the left is seriously talking about having open borders.
It may not even make sense from a supplier side (sometimes). Instead of just writing the SW, the supplier now has to manage servers, deal with angry customers when downtime happens, backup, protect the servers from attackers, deal with scaling, deal with customers who don't like change, etc., etc.

With local SW, you can just write it and mostly forget about it, as long as OS stays compatible with your program.
It doesn't destroy them - it denatures them meaning they have different form and size etc. You still have the same amino acids in there which is, if we believe in digestive science, all that we need (your body will also break the protein).

I am sure things are more complex then that simple explanation. While I expect less nutrition from UHT milk (vitamins are degraded on higher temperatures, fat globules change their structure etc) its probably safest option out there.

I prefer goat milk. Goats usually eat more diverse food, their milk is more similar to human milk than that of cow, is less industrialized etc.
Pretty sure Musk's self driving system would have no problem with this. :)
I am post-panic at this point, into apathy.

We are already screwed and we do not have enough time to fix things. Embrace the suck.

Change is not difficult really, but the majority do not want to make deep sacrifices and would rather be a happy fat cat.
I agree with most you said, but I would like to point that some years ago, respected news outlets, would normally present you both sides of the story themselves.

That has become very rare now-a-days.

I use the word "unsubscribe" to filter out a lot of emails. There are occasional false positives but after combining the above filter with a whitelist of senders it has proven to be very effective.
Sure, but it's not really a dichotomy quite like that. You can have border controls but not agree to use massive data sifting programs to enforce them. I'm reminded of the Windrush scandal here in Britain where perfectly legal immigrants' children (adults who were born and had grown up in the UK!) and grandchildren were deported largely because the government shifted the goalposts in terms of burden for proof after having destroyed their own copy of their records under a previous administration. Our current prime minister had said "deport first, ask questions later" with respect to immigration policy.

It's clear how automatic discovery of potential illegal immigrants can become problematic in such a "hostile environment". Some proportion of the accused will be false positives, and you can be double sure that immigration hawks are not massively concerned about this. Palantir and companies like it are partly responsible if their technologies are used in such a context.

Boeing’s Own Test Pilots Lacked Key Details of 737 Max Flight-Control System
Yeah, seen plenty of poorly calibrated risk matrices, but they are generally better than nothing.

Also, for an organisation with multiple facilities, or using consultants or external resources it is the most effective practical way to convey the owners/boards risk appetite and willingness to spend money to avoid unwanted consequences.

The text is long winded to the point of being obtuse and basic theme says that you need to understand the underlying mechanisms to effectively design one or apply use. No secrets there.

I have just been thru an exercise where the clients consultant decided to instead generate some fault trees, in excel. 15000 formulas in each spreadsheet, 5000 indirects. Numerous errors, many of them of a fairly outcome sensitive nature. Now what do you think is the worse the, matrix or error riddled complexity with methodology unaccessible to most people?

No easy answers and the point the article doesn't seem to make is you need to keep going back to your risk assessment and matrix calibration with acquired learnings, it should be an iterative process of refinement.
Successful Automation Testing – EuroSTAR Huddle
The tight integration is a big bonus IMO. What Git hosting do you currently use?
If a company is caught taking on additional risk that they explicitly said they weren't then that is a very good case for shareholders to sue.
Your description of the store is very accurate. One thing I'd like to add that always fascinated me was their stock ledger. Long after everything was computerized here, they still had this enormous ledger resting on a kind of lectern behind the counter. Every sale was carefully entered in this book. It's a few years since I have been there for the last time so I don't know if it still exits or if they have got a computer eventually.
From the article:

About midway through the MAX’s development, the senior [test] pilot recalls warning a Boeing executive about taking pilots out of the loop: “Something is going to get by, and it’s not going to be pretty.”
How To Identify Your Values “ and act towards them when life gets tough.”

> The whole GDPR, Content Filtering

Why lump privacy protections together with upload filters as if they're both bad. If you service doesn't abide by the GDPR, I'd try to avoid it. On the other hand, upload filters are a disaster and not at all comparable to GDPR, not in terms of what they do to the end-user, not the burden they place on service providers.
is a nuclear absorption line out of the question?
People "against walls" supported and implemented this too.
I’m not thinking in terms of business here. Look what has happened to iPhone apps. You can get all sorts of great apps for free. Writing an app, no matter how hard it is is no longer enough to be a business. Look at open source: people spending half their lives writing free programming languages. When was the last time someone purchased a compiler?

The tech ideas talked about in the article could help commoditise at the saas level. You’d no longer need an engineering team because the app is designed to work with generic cloud services. The engineering is done by digitalocean or whoever. The software is free or maybe $100 one off license for forms say. Like a desktop application of yore.

It’s a separation of concerns between features and infrastructure. A bit like desktop apps. You don’t need to buy a new computer for each app, so why pay a computers cost in cash every year for form filling or value add file storage or whatever.
First time generation of usable electricity from Americium
That is very odd and doesn't mesh with my experience at all. Usually the server cost is linear with growth (more or less) so if the per unit cost is fixed (more or less) then how on earth would such a swap occur.
I know some of my friends, who "steal" famous apps on Google Store, then re-compile and re-publish into their own namespaces.

Even worse, he then reported back the original author for stealing his apps.

What he did, is to steal resources and put his Ads into the stolen app.

I'm not sure if Google could track those things.

That's why i always consider most of Vietnamese apps on Android store are "stolen" in some cases.

In Vietnam, "stealing apps" is a real dark business.
> Nobody is disagreeing that there is an issue. Nobody.

Actually, I think one of the key issues is you still have powerful, vocal pointing out there is no issue. For example: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-46351940

Of course it isn't! You're talking about moving server software from Azure to something else which isn't likely going to be something from Microsoft so you're talking Linux or BSD or UNIX--a completely different platform.
So business as usual for the security theatre troupe?
That may well have been a bogus claim - this was a tour for engineering students they were trying to woo. There was definitely a sense of "look how hip we are, totally not old dinosaurs! Quality is job 1" Either way, they had to change, and they did.
UK scientists generate electricity from Americium to power future space missions
Yes. I don't like having to give my fingerprint data, which no doubt will be stolen from their databases especially now that they intend to unify them and allow all sorts of agencies to have access to it, just to be allowed to travel in what's supposed to be a an almost border-free region.

It's the same mindset that leads to people repeatedly blaming the pilots in the recent 737 MAX crashes in spite of all of the available evidence. They were foreign, so they must have been inadequately trained and experienced compared to American pilots, right?
Yes, and I don't give them shit.

Hold politicians accountable for what they are doing, from the local community to the President. Defend the freedom of the press, especially when Trump goes on a rampage again. Vote for someone better than him, vote for someone actually progressive. Convince family, friends and co-workers. Organize yourself and head on to the streets.

For those willing to practice with arms, join Redneck Revolt. Protest against Nazis taking the streets, protest them wherever they appear and want to spread their propaganda.

Oh, and a look towards France and the Yellow Vests is never wrong. The willingness of the French to go on mass strikes and the occasional riot has proven to be very effective against the worst of neoliberal politics over the last decades.
For all the other shenanigans that they’ve done, can you come up with even one case where an American citizen has been detained indefinitely at the border?

Also, you’re already across once you meet the border people. You’re not in no-man’s-land; the border is infinitely thin and you are already in the US at the checkpoint. This is the simplest habeas corpus petition ever.
All if these ‘utopian‘ concepts have been successfully implemented in the past by governments and social organizations. The only naive part of my narrative is if we expect the change to come from the social networks. We need to step outside of that sphere and influence via other channels such as work, sports, spiritual life, books and the public sphere.
I thought the theme of my reply is that we're not talking about theoretical constructs, but instead reality... Space is not a vacuum, just much lower pressure than on earth.
Could you say something like:

There's info here about their macOS port progress - but with all the discussion on that page about Carbon (!) not being fully implemented in Lazarus, and recommendations to run in Parallels, it seems unlikely.

(Carbon was the API for compatibility with Mac OS 8 & 9 on Mac OS X, and was deprecated in Mountain Lion.)

Qt sees far more industrial usage than GTK. It has a nice C++ API and the licensing situation has always been clear for companies. GTK was never really a success outside of the Linux open source desktop community.

1. "But since the ban [on selling untested treatments], hospitals have found it difficult to recruit participants for clinical trials"

That sounds like a lack of faith in the system, that charging for untested treatments again isn't going to solve.

2. How does a self described Communist country ideologically defend charging for hospital treatment? Not getting in to the rights or wrongs of Communism or free health care, this just seems contradictory.

Isn't AKS a service and not a distro? Are you confusing AKS with ACS?
You're really just talking about poor practice in writing signal handlers. The signal API always tells you the previous value of a handler. Your own handlers should remember the previous value and call it if your own handler doesn't fully handle a signal it receives.
Ask HN: Is there a market for a HTTP request gateway service?
I’ve built a service - AsyncTo[1] - that provides a gateway for HTTP requests so that application code doesn’t have to worry about retries and failures when executing HTTP requests. Inspiration for AsyncTo was Segments’ Centrifuge[2] which seems to be an internal-only tool.

Essentially AsyncTo buffers application code from the errors and failures that occur when doing HTTP requests directly. Final responses are passed asynchronously (hence the name) back to the application. Applications that require immediate responses from HTTP endpoints aren’t target audience.

This is a difference between this and a proxy solution, another is that this does automatic retries of failed requests.

Being a developer and less a product person, I decided to build AsyncTo first and then do market research! So the question is there a market for such a tool/service?

I know from personal experience that there is a market for this kind of product in mobile marketing (specifically forwarding in-app events to advertising networks), however are there other sectors that would be also be interested?

Thank you for your time and I’m happy to clarify, discuss or describe AsyncTo in more details.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to or association with Segment.com, I’m just the author of AsyncTo[2].

Yeah it's AUD 50 per month. Everything adds up. Especially if you've also got a family.

I do miss it though, and am hoping to see another 50% off Black Friday special.
I think most of us are highly invested in the value of easily-rehydratable knowledge, because an incredible amount of the first third of our lives is spent learning facts that we'll forget. If we admitted there might be a better way, we'd have to do the hard and thankless work of institutional overhaul in our schools.

Not really. In a whole number of ways. I actually have no idea how you can say this with any honesty.

I mean, are you really arguing that national identity is the major stumbling block in integrating to a tribe in Papua New Guinea.... Here's a hint: Other :tribes: would have difficulty integrating, and they've likely never been introduced to the concept.

If I may use a bit of reduction, isn't the logical conclusion of freedom of speech that truth simply doesn't matter?

If every idea is acceptable, and I cannot face consequences for anything I say, then what difference is there between the statements "Apples are fruit" and "Apples are the square root of 45"?

Certainly, that's not the level of free speech we're at, but all this clamouring for unrestricted free speech makes me almost as worried as the threat of censorship.

Most of those comments come from folks in the startup scene, so that's what they think the world is.

MIR is not stable, that’s correct.
Might be interesting/feasible to build a GitPrime competitor and sell it for far less, making it approachable to much smaller businesses or teams. Since the data comes from git one assumes the analysis can be done asynchronously in the background, so there's no complex scalability engineering. I might well be wrong though.
I'm not sure it's quite the same thing as

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

but still not great
A superconducting power network could be built today - it would consist of a pair of ceramic superconductors suspended in a liquid helium pipe, wrapped with 3 feet of insulation.

Every few kilometers, one would need liquid helium pumping and chilling plants.

Total helium losses to leakage wouldn't be too big. Electricity transmission efficiency would be reduced by all the chilling gear running, but still better than regular conductors.

The only real barrier is cost. Not even the cost of the superconducting material. You can't hang a 6 feet diameter pipe on pylons across the nation - you're going to have to bury it, and that's going to get exxxxxpensive fast!
Not quite. I mean that it has rules of behaviour, it hires people to enforce those rules, it has strategic objectives and engages in world events, and is an economic force just above the middle of the IMF 2018 list, roughly equivalent to Slovenia (assuming GDP ~= revenue), or North Dakota if prefer to compare against a state of the USA.

Facebook is not a nation, despite all that, but not all government are national governments and I think it counts as a kind of government.
Deploying Django Using Dokku
What an unnecessarily hostile response. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything - one of the issues is that you have people who not only deny it's happening, but are trying to convince people it's not happening. Regardless of your assertion, the evidence is there that the issue is extremely polarised.

I was pointing out that it's not as simple as wanting to believe that everyone is on the same page, here. It's not easy to even get people to recognise the issue, let alone starting from a point where we're all pulling in the same direction.

I don't have a solution.
