I am not too familiar with Hermes but there is a lot of power exposing a http endpoint. I think you are thinking too inside of the box here. The benefit here is not adoption from developers or inability to understand how Kafka works with more native libs.

The value here is 1) publishing messages from more unique sources. Perhaps allowing your clients to publish messages. 2) You can enforce additional guarantees. Does the message conform to the a defined schema?

By some accounts, prison is an opportunity to network and gain mentors and knowledge towards furthering a career as a criminal.

There's no real intention of transformation or revenge, just a form of quarantine.

If considered as a criminal networking opportunity, it's likely to transform people into those who would seek revenge, and it would have the opposite effect intended by quarantine.

EDIT: I'm reminded of a folk dance group I was once a part of. Usually, we were obscure, and the one or two new people who might show up would become immersed in what we did, and would quickly learn to dance. Once, there was a local newspaper article about us, and 16 newcomers showed up all at once. It was very difficult that evening, and I think a lot of the newcomers didn't learn much.

If we want incarceration to make people less criminal, not more criminal, then the prisoners should not be spending their time with criminals. The prisoners should be spending their time with mentors, teachers, and counselors.
> My take is that at 30km/h they would make a very compelling case - since that's the minimum highway speed in some countries.

In NL it is 70 kph, and if you go that fast you are a danger to other drivers. What country has 30 km/h as the minimum highway speed? And what do the highways there look like? Do people actually go that fast on the highways or is that the speed that won't get you ticketed if you drive on the shoulder with an SMV?
'Just'? I'd say game streaming is an order of magnitude more difficult of a problem. YouTube has high throughput yes, but latency is the far more difficult problem, and potentially unsolvable with American ISPs the way they are.
Back when lamarpye was a young man in college, the Economics 101 teacher explained that we put value on life all of the time. He used the example of eliminating all of the railroad crossing in the country. How much would it cost and how many lives would it save. Do the division and you have the cost-benefit of the project. You could compare various projects and find the one that gave the most benefit.
That's not really relevant, as middle age doesn't actually mean "in the middle of one's life expectancy".

"Middle" is just the etymology, the intended meaning is "somewhere between young man 18 to 40-something and old person (60-65+)" (childhood being its own thing).

middle age, noun: the period after early adulthood and before old age, about 45 to 65.
It's a great selling point for Prime which is more than enough.
Equality of opportunity seems like a pipe dream to me. Are you really going to equalize socioeconomic status? Parental skills? Pollution? Proximity to opportunities? Those all determine the opportunities one has access to.
I believe the reading of “incorporating incapacitation” means that jail makes people physically sicker and injured. The act of jailing someone is commuting violence to them, in the same way that reoffense rates go to zero for all criminals who are punished via death penalty.

"The only lasting legacy of social media’s role in the Arab spring seems to have been inflating the self-worth of high level execs"

When the media talked about the "Twitter revolution" I still remember thinking that there were people risking their lives on the streets and how ridiculous it was that some social media guys drinking lattes in their offices got the credit.
i can eat chicken hearts for every meal.. and they're pretty cheap
I think it's as simple as I sleep more in the winter and less in the summer and about the same between spring and fall. Not anything crazy. It's probably an average of ~7 hours in the summers and 8+ in the winter. I live in a high latitude city and last year I figured I'd just try it, given how much more light we get in the summer. Work is a little hard to accommodate in the winter sometimes, but otherwise I think I'll probably do this for the rest of my life.

The subtitle of that article is "But that still leaves more than 100,000 Bay Area homes empty"

At some point we're ultimately going to have brain-dumping/human memory extraction technology which would render all encryption moot.
That's not an argument against trying to equalize those things.

Reflections on Code Quality: Confession of a CTO
I think an example will clarify what I mean:

Suppose you work a normal hour: you get 1 euro, but taxes eat 50%. you get 0.5 euro.

Now suppose you work an extra hour on Sunday. According to the collective labour agreement, you get 150% so you get 1.5 euro, but your current tax slot was filled and because of the extra hour you fall into a higher rate. The extra income is taxed at a higher rate of 68%. 1.5 * 0.32 = 0.48 < 0.50.
So even though you got 150% you earned less.
> I also thought there were "no incidents".

You mention the San Onofre plant, but that was not a US Navy reactor, it was a commercial generating plant. I was specifically talking about US Navy reactors on ships and submarines.

I have not read the book you referenced, but I have added it to my reading list. It seems like it is focused on commercial nuclear plants.

> tell me that we know what we're doing and that we "know how to safely operate nuclear power plants" after reading things like

These are not errors that happened because nobody knows how to do these things correctly. They are errors that happened because technically ignorant managers and business people were making decisions they should not have been making. The US Navy's program solves that problem by not allowing technically ignorant people to be in decision making positions. And even technically non-ignorant people who make minor errors of judgment--far short of the kind illustrated in the incidents you mention--are fired and no longer allowed to operate the reactors, so they never reach the point where they can make a wrong decision that would have significant adverse consequences.

The reasons why civilian nuclear power in the US was never held to the same standards, again, are political, not technical. And it's also worth noting that no other energy source in the US gets held to such standards, even though all of them have caused far more harm than nuclear ever has.

> which newer designs do you mean?

Pebble bed reactors and small modular reactors, for example. But even a standard light water reactor can be passively safe against a TMI or Fukushima type scenario if the cooling system is designed to utilize natural circulation, which US Navy submarine reactors are (they do it in order to be quieter, since they don't require coolant pumps unless the sub is at high speed, but it also gives the passive safety benefit).

> server on the other side of the world, but with no other latency accounted for - is about 200ms

In practice, it’s a lot worse than 200ms. 500-700ms are typical for servers on the other side of the planet.
The purpose of this sort of secrecy is to avoid people seeing how the system is gamed against them.
Honestly those numbers are quite depressing. Even if we assume those 5 million people are all Americans we could only afford to build 10 nuclear reactors per year in the entire world if we seized all of their wages and used them to build nuclear power plants. I expected nuclear power to at least be worth the number of lives it is saving but unfortunately this isn't the case.
do you think the rank-and-file employees give a damn about how they're treating the executives?
I live in a townhome that is attributed to Pei and Harry Weese (most assume they are mostly a Weese design) and while I love it’s brutalist nature, the aesthetic is very controversial, you love it or hate it.

But what amazes me is 2 things. First they are very livable. They would be considered tiny now in the US (sub 900 sq ft originally, with finished basement 1300), but it never feels cramped. The design and size lead to extremely efficient resource utilization and minimal maintenance as well.

Second, this place was targeted at middle income families. It was designed to compete with the suburbs being built at the time. Can you imagine a builder now paying for innovative design?

In any case I wish more people could live the lifestyle this home allows.
I think the point being made is that this feels an awful lot like a 'hey, don't keep talking about mcas.... look at this huge problem that terrorists might exploit (if they rent die hard 2), look how scary it is, boogaboogaboo'

The Census collects racial information that most people answer with responses they believe to be truthful. IIRC in WW2 it was used to identify Japanese-Americans for internment.
Slightly trust Intel-CPU Chromebook hardware.

I have yet to become allergic to Google snooping but understand that lack of trust to be very well founded. I think I understand their secure boot architecture, though. Whereas I simply cannot trust Windows Secure Boot based vendor firmware.

Apple iOS devices. Their macOS Intel computers are about as trustworthy as Chromebook Intel.

Not-so-recent ThinkPad laptops with OpenBoot BIOS are ok.

But.

All of these devices have radios with each their own, black-box operating systems. I don't know how to develop a basis for trust there.

So I am left with very few alternatives.

Classic what-about-ism.

And I deeply resent you putting words in my mouth (or at least attitudes in my brain). It's a dishonest, cheap rhetorical trick.

And apparently you can't see the difference between the government trying to take it by spying, and the government forcing you to give it away by contract as a condition of doing business. Hint: One you can take countermeasures against; one you can't.

And, like others, I would like to see your source.

To expand further why I think you haven't made a good argument: if high vacancy rates are the problem, and the Bay Area has especially low vacancy rates, why is the Bay Area the least affordable region in the US? High vacancy rates are obviously not the cause of the housing crisis. Maybe you can make the argument that high vacancy rates _coupled with something else_ is the problem, but you don't seem to be making that argument -- and the "something else" is probably the more important factor anyway, since SF doesn't have high vacancy rates.
>The OP had the same opportunity, but because they did the traditional things for a poorer family to encourage their students to succeed (moving to a good school district and sacrificing on the commute) they will be considered a privileged student in this analysis.

Compared to the poor students whose parents didn't make those sacrifices, they are privileged.
Those are terrible, but realize that the only news that makes it out from China to the US are the negative, and heavily paints China as evil. Everyone I talk to have never been to China, yet think everyone there is brainwashed. People realize a lot of things are terrible about the government, just like in any other country. China has been on an economic boom and radically changing the last half century reaching Western levels of QoL...although Jinping is taking it down a notch.

Imagine living in a country where media filters all about the US down to Japanese internment camps just barely over half a century ago, NSA spying, GitMo waterboarding, homeless-packed cities, and kids getting shot in schools routinely. It's probably what happens in North Korea.
Interesting, I have 3 Swedish friends in Australia and they had their phones on Swedish IIRC.
If you're close enough to the server it's possible for network latency to not add much compared to the combined latency from the tv + console + wireless controller. (most modern tvs add at least 20ms, even on "game mode", some add more than 100ms).

It's a different story on a pc with a decent gaming monitor though.
The issue with 'equality of opportunity' is it barely exists and only for the group of people in nearly exact economic statuses in the same area. So many things in the environment and schooling set poorer people back from day 1 be it environmental pollution, noise pollution, or older poorly funded schools (given how much extra funding schools can get from a combination of property tax revenue and just fundraising from parents), the list goes on.

Colleges have limited ability to help with those factors so they apply weights where they can. Hell even the SAT itself has a pretty regressive impact because most colleges will let you submit your highest score from multiple tests, I got 2 800s but it took 2 tests (not counting a couple PSATs I got various times) to get that a chance a poorer person is much less likely to have.
There are masks and pillows specifically designed for stomach sleepers. But stomach sleeping is somewhat uncommon, and plenty of people who sleep in more conventional positions can't adapt to sleeping with a CPAP, so you probably just have to find out yourself.

FWIW, I have sleep apnea and I'm a strict side sleeper. I also had a real tough time getting used to sleeping with something attached to my face. Sometimes I still take it off if I'm awake too long during the 2-4am time period, but most nights I sleep through without even noticing. I use a nasal mask, though, I absolutely have not ever been able to tolerate a full face mask.
None of what you said is relevant to the point I was trying to make.

Can someone provide actual high-level use cases for using Kafka? Prefereably use-cases not handled by RabbitMQ.

I've seen a few talks about Kafka but they focused on the internals. My guess is that Kafka is for large systems for which managing a multi-node RabbitMQ cluster is too much trouble.

Your example seems to disagree with your premise. If someone tells me I weigh "9239" this means nothing to me, unless in context of whether it's going up or down, and how it is related to others of my height (and age and gender, perhaps).

I don't care that I weigh some multiple of an SI unit, or some fraction of a car. I care about my weight relative to others and my history.

That's part of it. But even when adjusting for IQ, parental income is highly correlated with success--SAT scores, college admission, lifetime income--however you want to measure it.
Paywalled, but based on the free paragraphs, I was kinda surprised that it didn't talk about the other factors that may affect sleep.

Currently reading 'Why we sleep' which is a fascinating book about the importance/history/evolution of sleep across species and time. (Highly recommend it -- definitely regretting all the sleepless/low sleep nights)

At a high level, my understanding is that the duration/quality of sleep depends on physiological, mental and environmental conditions.

It sounds like the focus of the article was on environmental (I would definitely love to sleep with zero light/sound).

Similarly, the 5-10 mins meditation may help, but if you're stressed out or have something on your mind, that can still keep you awake or wake you up.

You can make sure not to eat/drink anything by that time (6pm) but effects of caffeine/other foods you might have eaten earlier can impact your sleep quality.

Finally, the right physiological/chemical changes need to occur (melatonin/REM cycles/tired from physically exhausting activities) for you to actually be sleepy. Most people can't just sleep on command, although, you might be able to build/force the habit.
The student who spends time preparing for a test, reviewing the material, studying previous tests, drilling with practice tests, actually has more scholastic aptitude than the students who do not do this because these are actual research and preparation skills that are valuable to success in mastering college material.
GPS has the M-Code (Military code). It is only authorized for cleared applications / personnel. This is what missiles and military aircraft use.

Why that drone was not using the M-Code (or similar protected NAV/GPS information) is beyond me.

FYI, the benefit of M-Code:

1 - It chirps at 10x the rate of Civilian GPS signal.

2 - It is on different frequency, thus jamming "GPS" will most likely not jam the M-Code.

3 - It is encrypted.
Similarly, the wind is strongly affected by weathervanes.
It’s also easier to get people to agree. In the US, people have been fighting the building of high-speed rail in California since the 1970’s, when Jerry Brown tried to build it the first time.

50 years later there are millions more people in California and infrastructure costs are astronomical.

China will have 30,000 miles of high-speed rail before we have any.

It’ll be interesting to see the benefits in China. Something to think about as your self-driving car navigates the congestion on US highways.
Of course it's easier. It's also easier to make money when you're working for Facebook. The question is whether or not it's worth the ethical and professional stain. Different people will make different calculations.
Most of those hops would be on ISP equipment with 10G or 100G interfaces, modern routers forward packets in tens to hundreds of microseconds and switches can do it in a few microseconds, so as long as there is a bit of distance it will account for most of the delay, and SOL is 2/3 of its speed I'm vacuum. Switches can even sends out packets on a port before it has been fully received on the incoming port
Well, then every privileged person who gets in is "hurting" someone of lesser inherent opportunity.

Yeah, I used to have a Hello Sense. I've been using Apple Watches for years, but I never wanted to install a 3rd party app for sleep tracking, nor have to charge during the day instead of at night.

Hey, someone else who does the same thing as me! Yay! As soon as my wife and I put the kids down, we head to bed ourselves. Then I wakeup whenever, which frequently translates to 4-5am but like you, sometimes lasts until the kiddos wake up.

We're lucky that both of our kids have always been great sleepers, aside from occasional attempts to get up in the middle of the night and come sleep with mom & dad.
Prison is cheap torture. That's the long and short of it.

Honestly if your proposed technology requires the brainwashing of children then maybe it simply isn't good enough? Also at current construction time frames of 10-20 years per plant our children will be the ones who will finish the construction of those plants even if they were born this year.

It's getting a little wearying to have to rehearse the ways in which Google is a threat to privacy. But let's get the band together one more time:

Google runs search and email for essentially the entire web, controls the market dominant browser and mobile OS, has tracking scripts on >75% of the top million websites and runs a fair amount of the internet's infrastructure. It is the senior partner in the online advertising duopoly (together with Facebook) and runs one of the three major cloud computing services. It has also become the de facto standards authority for the internet and runs a massive continuous operation to collect photos of every street on the planet, which it is now expanding into interior spaces. It sells always-on microphones for the home, as well as a line of internet-connected home appliances. It does so much invasive stuff that I've probably forgotten half of it here.

So it's neither a big or controversial claim in 2019 to point out that Google has unique breadth of visibility into both the physical world, and anything that touches a connected device.
So what you're basically saying is that some people should simply rot in prison because they're too dangerous to society? Well, I agree with you. Just not politically correct these days...
