It might not have everything you want, but just using private github repos, an organisation, and the issues on there would be my preference.

Most developers are already familiar with this too.
The way I read it they probe for a certain range whether there is reflection or not. So the result will be like range finding.
I'm assuming the reason this is positioned as an IOT product is because they need to sell some product based on the network access they are able to negotiate. If they get allowed to use the 911 and voice network, I can imagine the product will shift to consumer pretty fast.

I'm using it in Canada and although data doesn't work (despite their claims) I'm paying one tenth the cost of a local bargain cell plan so I can SMS.
Yay! We are approaching the SIMless world where you connect to mobile networks without a SIM or a universal SIM.
Why won't you use https://github.com/liske/needrestart to automatically restart services that need restarting after security upgrades and unattendedupgrades or a cron job for rebooting the whole machine after kernel upgrades/periodically?

Shouldn't ansible do all this for you? I heard it's the recommended way for automatic updates and service restarts.

Please let me know about this as I'm interested myself.
Meanwhile, the only post on my nextdoor today is a reminder that it's the day of the year when they get together to repaint and clean up the poorest part of town as part of a charity event.

Agreed until you consider that there is a massive iot market and they're going after it with pretty cool innovation. We will probably never really hear about this project unless we're specifically in the iot world.

That said I use a twilio SIM on my test phone and it is great. Was thinking of dual SIM with it but there's a few limitations I didn't want to live with.
I see the dirty hands of the IC car makers here. Their argument - to level the playing field versus gas in terms of taxes that are built in to gasoline/diesel. This is valid, but the average car pays $300-400 annually in gas taxes. They need to make this an annual mileage fee at renewal time to be truly level.
So the car makers want to kill the atmosphere as well as boost car repair/rust money. Time to get rid of these politicians

They say voice won't work in Canada but that data does; I haven't been able to get either to work. But for $3 USD + usage per month I can use SMS.
> But, if I were working for a haulage company and was interested in tracking, say, truck location, speed etc across the whole of Europe I could see this being a great way to do it.

If you wanted to do that in the EU you just need a sim card with data from any EU country. EU rules on roaming mean that your sim will work across the EU just as it does from its home country.
I agree this would be a great use case if you're not only tracking in the EU though.

Julia compares very unfavourably to both Python and Swift: Slow startup time (unpredictable JIT compiler lag), terrible error messages and stack traces, duck typing misrepresented as type checking. I've tried using it for what it is meant for (numerical code / ODE solving etc.) multiple times now. It performs admirably in that domain.

But no ten horses would make me use it for anything else. Machine learning needs to be fully integrated into the larger language ecosystem. You can easily imagine developing a large scale software product in Swift, not so much in Julia (even less so than in Python). Julia is probably a Nightmare to develop in once you have more than 10 people working on the project.

The internal structure of Julia's compiler is also a mess compared to the Swift compiler. You could easily imagine building a compile service / large scale build system / tooling for swift, not so much for Julia. Plus they were able to easily extend the Swift intermediate language in the way they wanted to, while there is no comparable abstraction in Julia. The Swift compiler also fits neatly into the C++ based ecosystem that Google has.

I am reading the comments, and am open to critique or general suggestions. “I found this part confusing” is also very welcome.

This is quite an information dense work, and a little rough around the edges, though I am pretty happy with it overall.
Switzerland has its own safety buffer. Every grown up man has army duty and has weapons at home and they are surrounded by mountains.

Even Hitler didn't dare to invade Switzerland because of these very reasons, while annexing most of the rest of Europe and adding them to the Third Reich, or making them puppet states for Nazi Germany.
That's not how the game is played. Google cannot afford to lose India, like it lost China. India will then go after G Search etc etc.
Murder is not something you rehabilitate against. I should not be able to murder people if I can just act real nice to get away with it.
If I pay you for a service, say hosting a database and management, that says it's encrypted at rest. Your system fails to complete the required steps for this process- namely fails to write the decryption key to a place where it can be recovered, It's your fault. Not the customers.
You showed a few lines of C++. Even for heirarchy,this doesn't need to be a tree of pointers. It's not so bad if it is, but data can be represented as tables or arrays of attributes. Really in a ui the layout is about dependencies and doesn't strictly have to be hierarchy. It's not all that important, just saying that everything must be done in a certain way is ridiculous.
Challenge #2, someone forgot a reference to https://dev.missilesys.com/ ;)
I generally see that sort of questioning as a red flag, but I understand why they want candidates to guess; they want you to speculate because it may reveal more about your knowledge base and experience. It's still lousy for them to not take "I don't know" for an answer, and I probably wouldn't return their calls.
That's only for city folk who essentially trap their cats or dogs in their apartments to help with their loneliness. Frankly I think pet ownership in cities should be made illegal because it's harmful to the pets and wild animals.

What a dog is like or a cat is like depends on setting. A dog is far superior to a cat on a farm or out hunting or in nature. You'll notice a lot more "quirks" out in nature with a dog than a cat.

It's why dogs were domesticated long before we domesticated any animal.

The only thing cats have over dogs is their athletic ability. But in terms of human qualities and interactions, dogs pretty much evolved to be with humans. People who think otherwise might have that parasite that cats give to their owners.
Back in the day I ran an anti-spam service, users would point their MX to my server(s), I'd do the filtering and pass on valid mails to their real hosts.

It was a great learning experience, and I got to see a lot of volume. Sadly I never had enough customers to make the jump to the big-leagues, but it was fun.

(I'd do proper SMTP-time rejection, but also archive rejected mails in a database for 30 days. Letting you browse / search through the rejected stuff - just in case I made a mistake, and also to see how good I was doing.)

Even then content-scanning was not the best, but I used a lot of heuristics and I was quite proud of some of them. For example I "defeated" fast-flux hosts, via heuristics to lookup the number of addresses for a domain. Even large domains such as gmail only have 1-4 address-records, though of course their anycast and multiplexed. If you got a mail from a domain with 7+ MX records it was 99% spam.)

At one point I documented damn near everything, after I'd shut down, but it seems I left the domains I used expire. I should see if I can dig out copies.

(I used qpsmtpd as my core, and wrote a ton of glue code and custom plugins. Later the qpsmtpd-proxy was ported to javascript as Haraka - but I didn't covert my code even as I ported some plugins back.)
I use a data-only cell plan ("tablet" plan from Fido), $15/month for 3 GB.

For voice calls, I use a SIP account from voip.ms, which mostly goes to voicemail (SIP kind of drains cellphone battery). I rarely use voice, and people usually text because calling, and most use Signal/Whatsapp anyway. The voip.ms account is also useful for doing SMS, and associating apps with it (such as Signal/WhatsApp).
You make it sound like this is a trend, but this article is the first instance I've ever heart of the concept of a universal SIM?
My interest lies in a rust unikernel where I can compile my binary into a VM image that has just what I need to run the application and deploy it. Configuration is read from a known network address, and off it goes.

But that is still awesome
instead of trying to guess it or bluff it, not sure why it has to be different

Because when you're being interviewed, you're not always dealing with another engineer. If you're being interviewed by a non-technical person with a business degree, then you are dealing with a person who is used to guessing/bluffing their way through things, rather than sitting down to the hard task of problem solving.

This may not be true of all business people, but it's quite common to those who might say they hated math in school. Math, and the sciences that heavily lean on it, are the only subjects where you can't get very far by bluffing or guessing.
A glaring example of this is the Canada Revenue Agency. It asks 5 different security questions, you need to type in the answer to, before you can set up account.

The problems I observed my elderly father having is:

1) The website times out way too soon. Before my father could type up three answers it timed out. Each time he has to start from scratch.

2) An answer to security a question, like "who was your first teacher" Can have many variations.

Did he type in first and last name? Was the first name before the last name or the last name before the first name? Did he capitalize the letters? Did he spell the name correctly, its been many years. Did he make any typos.

Twilit has been on an absolute tear over the last 2 years. I wasn’t sure what they would do next to innovate, but their evolution to customer support products, authentication solutions and now this are inspired.

What sets them apart is that, although they are a US company, they think globally. This product is for a global market, just like their app-based push authentication is (the huge market being Europe which has mandated 2FA requirements for finance companies coming into effect). Too many companies build and think about the US as the only market, then try to bring it to other markets which doesn’t always work well.
This looks like a solution in need of a problem. Previously I had tried some similar things at scale, mainly because I wanted upsampled reports and GA charges $100,000 for premium services. What I found is that raw logs are not reliably accurate. The volume of traffic in certain countries was accurate but not reliably “real” users even after accounting for known bots, search engines etc. GA has a way of accounting for these and giving you a better overall picture. The second thing is that GA has improved its service so you get upsampled reports now, even at scale for tier 1 reports. At low volume, there upsampled already.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to waste time with this.
Sadly, that ship may have already sailed in most North American communities. A this point, they're _very_ heavily engineered to favor private vehicle ownership. Many of the ones I spend time in are so sprawled out that it takes me more time to get my errands done by car than it does for me to do them on foot in my home town.

(And then you need to waste even more time going to the gym regularly in order to make up for the desperately sedentary lifestyle that's been imposed on you by your habitat. . . but I digress.)

In a place like that, public transit is just doomed. There's no density of bus stops that will work. Either everyone lives at least a 10 or 15 minute walk from the nearest bus stop (possibly without even a sidewalk to walk on), or the stops are packed so densely that it's almost faster to walk than it is to take the bus, or the routes are packed so densely that the buses end up being a sort of hyper-expensive 4-passenger vehicle, on average. And you can just forget about any rapid transit options.
I like this plan a lot. One criticism that seems valid is that giving more voting power to people who've held stock longer gives a large advantage to founders. It also doesn't directly accomplish the goal of giving more power to people who intend to hold stock longer (though at least it tends to).

A more direct idea proposed by Vitalik Buterin: give people a vote in proportion to how long they're willing to commit to keeping their stock. Optionally, only enforce the commitment when the vote goes their way (though this probably only works for major decisions).

Would something like this be feasible for stocks? Would it be compatible with LTSE?

Not having to worry about parking would therefore be an incentive to go somewhere by car (Uber/Lyft) instead of public transportation.
My neighbor is a widower schoolteacher who gets discounts on things including property taxes on her mansion because of that, despite being multimillionaire by marit inheritance and receiving social security benefits young people can only dream of (and no college loan debt, of course). The "fixed income" cry is just a ploy old people use to get discounts.
I am in absolute agreement with you that whether or not such material should be removed is subject to debate. There are good arguments on both sides. I am generally against censorship but I can recognise some merit in protecting children from videos of people being shot, hanged, beheaded, etc.. Not that I particularly want to go down the "think of the children" route.

However, all the debate aside, the simple truth is that governments are ordering that content be removed so until we can have the debates it would probably be a good idea to have some way to allow the content be viewed by some people. Arguments that it's probably already available to law enforcement are all very well but law enforcement has limited resources and it's impossible for them to review all the flagged content so if there are people who are willing to volunteer their time to review it looking for evidence of crimes then we should probably have a way to enable that.

As for their being some bad actors in these organisations - that's pretty much unavoidable, even law enforcement has some bad apples.

It's about compromising and making the best of what we have.

the article says that in response to overpopulation that the world "governments have responded globally with draconian eugenics laws, harnessing genetics to determine who can and cannot be allowed to have children."

Well, we do have the same overpopulation that brunner predicted, but instead our governments encourage overpopulation because it props up our Western ponzi economies, which are based on debt and consumer demand....our govt's should be responding to the overpopulation crisis, but they do not because they are under the control of the big corporations that want to keep propping up the ponzi economy...so, brunner called it wrong on this angle...he failed to foresee our out of control Western pseudo-democracies
I don't do this type of work, but come on, don't people practice doing such recoveries before they commit to such a system?

Publisher Gerard Piel credited [Basil] O'Connor with a "unique social invention: a permanently self-sustaining source of funds for the support of research — the voluntary health organization." With a centralized administration, state and local chapters and a large corps of volunteers, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis became the prototype for dozens of similar foundations.

The (lack of) speed and complexity of GA astounds me every time I go in (use it over a portfolio of businesses). Using it on a 100Mb connection is still like pulling teeth.

I've researched building out a desktop app that pulls GA data over the API in the background so you can get key stats out much quicker, but it's quite an investment of time to be beholden to Google's platform.

Now doing some dogfooding on a web analytics service I've been evolving that tries to answer the "why" of change in traffic/behaviour over time ("traffic's up today....not sure why?"). Google do this with their GA mobile app ("Insights") but what and when they show you don't seem to be too predictable.
That’s the point here though isn’t it? I don’t want the internet involved with turning the lights on when I have to get up at night.

You don't say how much above normal it was and for how long or give details about your current physical state, just in case I'd recommend a general health check-up.
My guess is that as most of us you don't do those regularly.

Hypertension is most of the times but not always caused by your life style choices and can be fixed (not dealt with) improving weight, diet, fitness level (chronic stress and caffeine/smoking are a factor too).

For diet recommendations you could look into DASH[1] to get an idea of the direction you should take.

Anyway, this is a good time to start improving your life style as any[2].

I think some of that comes from this occurring in Oracle's cloud environment.

It's not an on-prem setup where the customer has full control to manage/test backups, it's at least some level of managed service from Oracle.

So at the least the commands used should have offered/enforced creation of a key backup as part of the encryption process (in the way that bitlocker does for Windows disk encryption) to reduce the risk of something like this happening.

Fellow AI Nerds, Beware: Google Cloud Glitch Leaves Nvidia T4 GPUs Off Estimated
I prefer the raw logs. One reason is that Google performs "statistical improvement" like "sessonizing." This act destroys the value of point process data. It wouldn't be found in a stats textbook because the operation destroys valuable information. Also, the concept of Visitors and Users that GA uses isn't transparent to me.

Another fun fact. Since the tracking happens on the client side, there's potentially a ton of truncated data that GA simply misses. Backend server instruments don't suffer the same way.

I've read this book three or four times and it's kind of crazy he was at Apple as an executive and had no lasting impact, iOS is now full of hidden gestures/features with low discoverability/intuitiveness. Nobody there with the power to make decisions agrees with the basic premise of this book.
GitLab's primary focus is on selling a product, not GitHub-like services. The hosted instance at gitlab.com is incidental to this. The number of commenters on HN who don't seem to get this is weirdly high.

GitHub is competing for your attention and trying to convince you to use github.com similar to the way that Facebook wants you to use their site. GitLab is not.

If you don't want to use gitlab.com because of low uptime, GitLab doesn't care. GitLab cares about whether you want to buy a GitLab license. If you're not in the market for that, then you were never a potential customer, anyway. Expecting GitLab to care about what you think about the ops history for gitlab.com is like thinking that a car dealer cares about how satisfied the people are who come in to have a coffee, eat a cookie, and test drive a car from the showroom, and never intend to buy anything. That's what gitlab.com is: a showroom.
How expensive is a cell phone plan in Canada?
There are interesting correlations that lead people to believe the phone companies are doing more than merely enabling these criminals. It seems they are collaborating.

If you drive to a certain location with some level of frequency you will notice the location of the spoofed numbers are in those communities. This goes beyond neighbor spoofing, and suggests some level of information sharing between the robocaller and the phone carrier.

As of January, I started driving to Pleasanton, California every day for work. I also started visiting San Rafael about once month to visit friends who recently moved there.

In the last few months - almost every robocall I get is coming from Pleasanton or San Rafael prefixes.
Deterrence and retribution are different things. Prison systems with harsh sentences are typically more about sending a message to potential criminals than punishing existing ones.
