I thought some about this, and I am a bit afraid about "feudal lords" of some other kind:

I'm starting to self-host my content and services as I am starting to have some income (beginning of my career). However, I have to pay for a domain name, internet access, etc. I can afford to pay all of this right now, but I have no guarantees that the content will remain available in the future. The biggest unknown for me is the domain name, as it sounds much like a single point of failure: what if my registrar closes, or refuses to do business with me, or if I can't afford it anymore? Medium provides some relief against this, but not enough that I would care to use it.

How could this be "solved"?

Ideally, I could write a static page, sign it with a private key (maybe associated to a human-compatible string), and then host it in multiple places. A search engine could pick the right mirror, and interested people could choose to mirror the content.
This sounds a bit similar to IPFS, but with the possibility of picking your hosting place and the content you mirror.

And to write something more about paid apps vs. add-based ones (which cropped up later in the discussion thread), when I was younder (kid/student), I was unfortunately in no position to buy paid apps (no income), nor to self host myself (I tried multiple times, but it was a pain to host even static content at the time). It seems to be getting better (github education pack, github/lab pages, etc), but I think that we as a society should think more about what is made available to kids. A free dynamic DNS and hosting service should probably be a minimal offer if you want to make them interested in tech. It could be also a good plan (though long-term) for a hosting platform to gain their trust/mindshare. Also making nice apps freely available to them.

Unfortunately, I had no e-mail address provided by my high school at the time or earlier, so I wouldn't have been able to get a github student pack (if it existed). I think that's something that should be solved at he state level.
We're not talking just about some random criminal. Manning is a famous leaker. Everytime she stands up against a judge there's a discussion on the front page of HN, and a bunch of articles in the press. Her actions obviously provoke discussion in a way that some rando's thinking he's entitled to do what he pleases with regards to judges orders do not.

It may be, she's doing her small part to change something in the future. Her actions will be remembered. They already are by many people. And it's a bit myopic to just focus on "contempt of court" part.

Everytime Manning comes up, it just reminds me that US is still murdering people around the world without any justification or verification of who was killed in most cases, while the system is focussing on punishing her further - instead of trying to improve and save innocent lives.
At least one well known Ad Blocker went down this exact same dark path before

Hey, for $$$ we'll make sure your customer don't get "lost" and go visit similar sites that are illegitimate (ie. don't pay us). What's that? Our algorithm says your site wasn't legitimate but your rival's site is? Well we can look into that for you but meanwhile try paying us $$$ and you'll be amazed at the results...

Unsurprisingly their "customers" didn't like this very much, but the AAA video games industry has learned if you do something awful, get smacked, apologise, then immediately do it again, you wear people down. The tenth time they just can't muster as much anger. "Yeah, yeah, it's just normal for companies to treat me like shit, I guess I put up with it".
> So that is why so many OSS projects are full of bugs and horrible usability.

Possibly, but not necessarily. What is certain is that no developer who gives you free stuff has any obligation to fix bugs nor to submit themselves to any low-key bullying from users of said free stuff about how to spend their time and develop the software they decide to share with others.
> I wasn't aware that Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao and Pol Pot were seen as heroes in the US. I thought they're generally seen as villains.

They are generally seen as villains which is why those on the political right try to associate socialism with them and then try to label anything to the left of their politics as socialism even though it almost never is.
A lot of people feel this way, and a lot of people feel the other way. I'm not sure how to quantify or measure this, except to say these algorithms have never worked out well for me.
Nah, it's probably just aliens destroying planets of the dangerous, life-harboring, variety. And we're next!

On a serious note; I wonder whether the size of planets has much bearing on whether life could be started or sustained, or if this is usually trumped by other factors.
I feel the same, but fondly remember the old last.fm recommendations. Those were pretty good (I hope that's not just nostalgia speaking). Plus browsing scrobbles [=playback history] of people with similar tastes was a good way to find more great music; or explore new genres.
Lets suppose that some of those classified documents would show for example evidence of war crimes, killing and torturing helpless people "by fun", or massively spy and lie to our own citizens.

I bet that to disclose hideous crimes would be unanimously seen as a morally acceptable act by the majority of the people.

The problem is not in the leaking act itself, the problem is the contents of the leaks.
>Claiming that the driver is not at fault because they interpreted the word "autopilot" to mean "I can disregard my responsibility as a driver and ignore the vehicle's very clear warnings" is deeply absurd

Boy are you going to be in for a shock when the investigations start. "Autopilot", with the way Elon has promoted it, shouldn't slam into stationary objects.

> SHA-2 is worthless for storing passwords

It really depends on what the person means. Yes, single sha-2 hash is pretty useless. But that's often not what's really happening. For example libcrypt is used in many cases with the default $6$ format which uses thousands of rounds of sha512. That's still "password hashed with sha-2".
The first three bugs you listed are related to source maps. I haven’t used Firefox in a long time but I have experienced the same behavior in Chrome and VS Code when debugging TypeScript. It turns out, there was a bug in the loader that was generating source maps. Perhaps your issue is tooling and not the browser?
From the article:

> former FBI Deputy Director John Pistole
I agree, the issue in this case—and indeed with most Autopilot-related incidents—wasn't anything to do with the driver taking his hands off the wheel, it was the driver taking his eyes off the road.

The warning message says "Be prepared to take over at any time." That is clearly the exact opposite of "You may now focus your attention to that laptop on the passenger seat."

Yes it is a concern that Autopilot is failing in some circumstances. But whatever Tesla says or does, the road rules say that the human driver is always responsible in cases like this.
Might be a typo and they meant "MebiWatt" :)

Ah yeah. In pre-school the teacher told a story about some nasty blue whale that was about to eat some poor castaway with "its big teeth" and I said "but Teacher, blue whales have no teeth, they have baleen hair". She became more and more hostile after that. After some more drama, I skipped a class directly to first grade.

Fortunately the teacher wasn't stupid, and as I could perfectly read and write and knew everything I was supposed to learn before Christmas, I spent the rest of the year reading books in the back of the classroom.

My main problem always was that I never, ever needed a single effort and never learned anything at school, up until University. So I never worked and just passed because it was all so easy and boring. So I never learned to work and every teacher (and parents) always enraged because I could have had so much better grades but why bother?

DifferentialEquations.jl can take as many simultaneous equations as you have memory for. You can even use an MPIArray when you run out. When we solve PDEs, sometimes I'm testing with a state space of tens of millions of ODEs of course, which comes from a Method of Lines discretization. Right now we are doing a lot of tests in the thousands of ODEs range since we have a reader for chemical reaction networks which we are using to optimize on test models. This is all with directly writing the Julia functions.

If you question is, how far can ModelingToolkit be pushed? That's unknown. We made sure it's quite an efficient representation, but we haven't stress tested it to see the memory consumption at a million operations yet. Since it's able to generate thousands of operations in symbolic Jacobian inversions, it easy goes to thousands and tens of thousands of equations. How much larger? Who knows. What we can say is that its efficiency is more similar to SymEngine's symbolic types, so if SymEngine handles the millions of equations range (on a computer with enough RAM, symbolic representations may use up quite a bit here!) than we should be able to.

There's a Fully Charged episode on Youtube that looked into this. Hammer's Hill Wind Farm on Orkney paid off their installation and construction CO2 debt in the first 45 days of operation. Despite there being 500 tons of concrete and steel in each base.

I think your wager is completely accurate. With Amazon as an example, depending on your team you could find yourself doing high-performance work in cutting edge languages on a globally distributed high-availability FaaS platform, or you could be using Perl 5.8 to make tweaks to a website that will only be displayed in certain parts of India.
Thanks for the link. Compared to salt reactors which only holds a few experimental 100MW generators in the world, it seems that storage in comparison is clearly ahead in development with the largest producing around 3GW at peak.

In order to replace fossil fuels in the US they would need to build about a million new ones of the current biggest version, through 11hrs capacity sounds low in regard to seasonal changes. They also need to build a matching number of renewable power plants to fill the storage, plus some overhead since storage use more energy that they produce. It is definitively plausible solution which I have nothing against. Looking at the US grid I interpret it to mean that storage is currently responsible for less than 0.1%.

>Walking around, talking to friends, sitting in a bar, reading, etc.

Those are proactive intellective activities; whoever carries them out has to put some kind of effort in doing so. On the other hand, passive media consumption is effortless and has nothing to do with a conscious decision to engage in a more demanding task; it is driven by inertia and doesn't constitute an activity through which one can exercise their minds to a satisfactory extent.
Good Catte, thank you for the photos
Not as much as you would think. Many paintings don’t gain huge value until after death, and many paintings don’t gain huge value until after the first sale (when the artist makes money).
The best music school here is the one that they wish to attend. They (and those who advise them) are in a far better position to evaluate the variety of factors that influence that decision than I am, as someone whose only musical instrument ability is a CD player or iPod.

Some music savants want to attend a music school that the composer or musician they most admire attended, others the one that is closest to home.

>I find it truly remarkable how on the one hand HN can rage for days over Boeing introducing software with flaws that killed people and on the other hand when it's Tesla's software flaws killing people in a similarly repeatable manner, the general consensus veers towards deaths from poor software implementation not mattering nearly as much as the potential of the technology

And you can replace Boeing with banks, car companies, oil companies or any other legacy company. Fraud, worker exploitation, shoddy product...these things are acceptable to some here, as long as the company has come from Silicon Valley.
Its a slur.

I haven't expressed any opinion on why Manning has made the choices they have. I may or may not agree.

I have questions for the court, because they have chosen to act in a way that doesn't seem to follow standard procedure. My query is one of legal practice.
I remember later discmans had internal audio buffers so the music wouldn't stop if you shook them, but I guess on a run the buffer would end up going dry and music would stop anyway.
Sounds like some pretty cool research and good luck! I work with folks who manage large dynamics models for transient stability tasks, but have only been partially involved myself as I'm more focused on the market side, but dabble in other areas. The math definitely looks more challenging for dynamics simulations (I usually only browse through the dynamics sections in textbooks, but plan on learning more when I finally start my masters program).

I'll send you an email sometime in the near future for some discussion. If you're using Julia for grid work, you're probably either one of the firms listed on their success stories, or one of the national labs. Either of which sounds interesting from one engineer to another.
Mopidy can do this, that's what I use: https://www.mopidy.com/

...but it's a background service with a web UI, so how easy you'll find it to set up depends on your technical expertise.
If that's what you got was the problem out of everything that I said, Tesla should extend you an offer.

They've fostered this culture of setting up a fundamentally inadequate system, getting the user to use it with criminally optimistic language, then blaming the user when the inadequacies, which they knew about, result in death.

Before the accident Musk will say:

"Your hands are only on the wheels for regulatory reasons"

To imply your hands are not on the wheel for safety reasons.

After the accident Tesla will say:

"Their hands were not on the wheel as they should have been to safely use our product"

Rinse and repeat.

Honestly what's impressive is how many people on here condone this.

Imagine a plane's autopilot suddenly banked into a mountain. It wouldn't matter if both pilots had been sitting in the back of the plane chatting up passengers, no one would hesitate to ground hundreds of planes until the cause was fixed.

The NTSB would not release a report saying "As long as autopilot kills less people than manual flying it's fine!"

Yet every time this happens apologists come pouring out of the woodwork to parrot this stuff. It's honestly getting a little disturbing.
For most people, they want their problem solved, plain and simple. And they rather not know the details on how you solved it or how it affects others. especially when it comes to something as urgent as someone holding your data hostage. So to a degree, I am OK with this service.
What if they first touched an instrument at age 25? Well, that person wouldn't get into a top music school at age 18.

It's true that I value demonstrated objective competence rather than subjective predicted future competence.
> For example, instead of random_kind() I could use a_complicated_computation_that_yields_a_kind(x). The cost-free abstraction philosophy says that the programmer must be able to tell if an optimization is made, and this is simply not possible (it could be done with dependent types, but that certainly wouldn't lower the intrusive).

Why would that be intrusive? a_complicated_computation_that_yields_a_kind has a type (either inferred or declared) that indicates its staging behaviour. The language knows whether a_complicated_computation_that_yields_a_kind(x) is available at compile time or not, and the IDE can tell the programmer. As long as the type inference is good enough (which is not trivial, but I see no reason to assume it's impossible - stage polymorphism is still a research area but I'm not aware of this being a particular sticking point) there's no reason we can't have the best of all worlds.

> But it's always the question of control: do you prefer to work hard to guarantee that some information is known statically, or use a tool that figures it out automatically, sometimes worse than you, but usually better.

But there's no contradiction between figuring it out automatically and doing that statically. We've seen this already with types-of-return-values: people thought there was a tradeoff between Java-1.4 style "explicitly write the type on each line" and Python-style "type is unknowable until runtime", but actually we can infer at compile time and get the best of both worlds.

> In fact, JITs (like in OpenJDK) have excellent tools that show you the decisions they've made[1], and you can control those decisions with compiler directives[2] (those are sometimes recommendations, but there's no problem making them requirements and extending their scope).

But to the extent that we insist that the JIT must be free to change its behaviour based on information that isn't statically available, that limits how much confidence I can have. Maybe my function is inlined in my test cases, but some rarely-used code path will lead to it being uninlined when some particular pattern of network timeouts happens. Maybe the peculiar load pattern that happens when I failover will mean that a failed-over-to warm spare gets different JIT decisions from the instance that was originally master. And if the results aren't integrated into the language then it's hard to be confident that the aspects we care about will be maintained as the codebase evolves.

> Besides, what you put in the signaure are only certain compiler knobs. Even in Rust/C++ we rely on compiler optimizations that we have no direct control over in the language.

Indeed - there's plenty of room for most languages to improve the visibility and control over these aspects. This philosophy ultimately ends up with something like the Coq-as-macro-assembler approach (and even then, it's not always as easy as it should be to understand the performance characteristics of assembly language on modern processors).
Without trying to minimize this experience, I can't help but wonder if newer tools and techniques have mitigated some of this problem. For example GitHub pull requests make it much easier to collaborate on one version rather than an upstream, downstream relationship.
Imagine how tenuous their case must be if it rests on testimony of a single hostile witness. Chelsea has them dead to rights if jail is the only option they have.
> Their service incentivizes ransomware authors, so this absolutely needs transparency.

I don't think that companies that offer ransomware decryption services have a problem with this incentive. More ransomware means more customers for their "decryption services". ;-)
What investigations?

Has Tesla ever said that Autopilot will stop for stationary objects?

Has Tesla ever said that Autopilot is intended to allow the driver to take his focus off the road?

I do think that Tesla can do more to emphasise that Autopilot isn't a synonym for full self driving, but that isn't an excuse for people who are supposed to be acting in accordance with their driver license.
>Why do American police stop people so often? Every American here seems to have experience of being stopped and acts like it’s a super normal thing.

And they also seem to think a cop pointing a gun at people they've stopped, or even shooting them for reaching into their pockets is also normal ("what did they expect?").

>I live in the UK and I’m don’t think I’ve ever even spoken to an on-duty police officer in my life. They don’t just cruise around stopping cars here.

Yeah, but you're not in the land of the "free".
There are free software licenses that require you to rename the project if you modify it.

But I digress. This whole discussion is about trade-offs -- if you cannot get the patch upstream but you need to ship it what is the next best thing. I would contend that patching it is better than patching and renaming because renaming doesn't help solve the problem (unless you are very radical and rename the project entirely) and makes things less convenient for users.

And note that distribution users are part of the community of people using the software.
No, "climate change" is neither precise nor very accurate. It is not precise because it does not tell us anything about how the climate changing. "Climate emergency" is more precise because it tells us that climate is changing in a problematic manner that requires immediate action. "Global warming" is more precise because it tells us that the climate changes in that temperatures increase. And "global heating" is even more precise because it tells us that the earth warms too much.

"Climate change" and "global warming" are accurate on a semantic level but not on the level of pragmatics. In particular, people generally understand "warm" as "warm, but not hot".
I run Spotify premium like I mentioned in the original post. This means that all songs I add to my libraries are automatically downloaded. Whenever my internet is down or my phone is away from WIFI I can continue listening to my music in the same way that you do, which is why I have no reason to use CDs for offline music
Let's throw away marketing/PR part from what labels try to act and we'll see a simple fact:
these parasites should be dead like 10 years ago. Almost all of the profits for musicians in digital era are made by concerts and merchandise, individuals could make some through direct sells and Patreon. Major labels charge 70-90% of the income and exclusive copyright for masters, which is a bit overpriced service.

It was about YouTube, not Spotify. YouTube will happily put you in an autoplay recommendation loop, cycling back and forth between the same 2 or 3 songs.
So then by definition, the reason Manning is in jail again, is because she violated a secret request by a secret court.

That seems very very wrong.
