As I recall from conversation, it's that the USSR did not jointly invade Poland with Germany; this is evidenced in the fact that they did not invade on the same day. Furthermore, the USSR wasn't even invading Poland; the USSR was striking West through Poland in order to protect Poland from Germany.

Rio is a wrapper around Knative and Istio, from what I can tell. The thing I don't see (and I haven't tried Rio, so maybe someone who is using it can say this better) how does it build your apps? Because it wraps Knative, I can assume it uses Knative's build.

I don't know if that means I'm responsible for writing Dockerfiles, or if I can change out for things like Buildpacks.io buildpacks v3? But I do think that means the system can scale to zero replicas when the traffic diminishes to the point where we haven't seen any requests for something like 10 minutes, and it's fully in doubt whether or when I'll see another request I need to serve.

I have been wondering about Rio but so far not enough to break down and try it.
There isn't though. This is just voice control of existing things people are already doing through Amazon. This is data they already have. Is data inherently evil? I don't understand how there is some significantly different privacy concern of using Amazon services (wish lists and purchasing things) via voice control than via their website or app.

There are many legitimate privacy concerns with ever-listening devices in your house, but having "data" from people directly using existing features of a company via voice instead of mouse clicks isn't really one of them.
Herding.
Hmm, let’s see. On one side we have protestors asking for political reform. On the other side we have authoritarian thugs who would lose power under such reform, and who ultimately used said power to murder hundreds or thousands on the other side.

But sure, “there is no fault that is purely one side faulted”. All sins are given equivalent weight. Who are we to decide which side was wrong here? Let’s just all forget about it and move on.
Ridesharing is when a group of people rent a van through a ridesharing program and one of those people drives it. The driver is kind of like a school bus driver.

Certainly there's a correlation between operating time and total mileage. It's going to be different for city driving and highway driving but there's a relationship that holds for most normal use cases.

That said, there are specific costs that are primarily about distance (fuel, tires). Furthermore, probably overly conservative oil change recommendations notwithstanding, essentially all car makers express maintenance intervals in terms of mileage not hours (which could easily be measured). I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what they're doing.

> You ARE calling for censorship.

No I'm not. No amount of caps lock changes that and the entire rest of your argument rests on this point [0].

People have a right to say what they want its true. I am simply saying we have no obligation to make their message easier to find. Nor do we have any obligation to connect people of like mind. In this specific case I am calling out those developers responsible for helping Gab and telling them I think they are morally repugnant. My stance in the original comment was that of professional ethics. If you help platforms like Gab stay online, I think you should be ashamed.

> And here we get to the crux of what you completely ignored in my previous post: the censorship you're demanding DOESN'T PROTECT THE VULNERABLE.

I didn't ignore your argument. I disagree with it because you are trying to assert a position that I am not taking. De-platforming does work. It's not about preventing someone from saying something. It's about adding friction to their ability to spread that message. Vulnerable communities ask for it all the time. People can say whatever they want it's true but the world is not obligated to amplify that message.

While we are at it, what about disinformation campaigns from hostile foreign governments? Anti-vaxxers? Climate change deniers? Bots? Trolls? Does all that get to continue unabated? Hows that working out?

We are living in an unprecedented time where objective truth is no longer collectively agreed upon and fringe viewpoints have made their way to the mainstream. I will happily admit that I don't have all the answers but I can tell you that the status quo is not working and we need to start thinking out of the box.

You'll be famous as the first person to effectively implement alpha-beta on a GPU and as the author of the strongest conventional chess engine in history. So go for it.

I’ve been hearing for years that the math involved would be easier if we switched signs on the electron but what equation specifically would be simpler? One would still have to deal with both polarities. I tutored electrical engineers for years and the biggest misconception by far was always considering the amount (or movement) of charge and the number of particles to be equivalent. Polarity was never really an issue.

As far as I can remember, they didn't have any collaboration with Cambridge directly.

The CAOS project had failed - the US developers Amiga engaged simply failed to deliver anything working, so they needed something in double quick time. MetaComCo in Bristol employed Tim King who'd previously worked with TRIPOS at Cambridge. He thought they could port that in time, which they did.

It's that changing horse last minute that gave AmigaDOS all the BCPL weirdness in dos.library, whilst everything else had an elegance and consistency. Learning it was a very last minute hack let me forgive them. :)

In the terminal it was actually really nice to work with.

'What Is "Electricity"?' ©1996 William J. Beaty

> What is electricity? This question is impossible to answer because the word "Electricity" has several contradictory meanings. These different meanings are incompatible, and the contradictions confuse everyone. If you don't understand electricity, you're not alone. Even teachers, engineers, and scientists have a hard time grasping the concept.

> Obviously "electricity" cannot be several different things at the same time. Unfortunately we've defined the word Electricity in a crazy way. Because the word lacks one distinct meaning, we can never pin down the nature of electricity. In the end we're forced to declare that there's no such stuff as "electricity" at all!

It is an ROI decision. Almost everyone on the planet now carries around an echo-equivalent in their pocket all day, that also happens to have video, GPS, text and call data, and as such is a far more significant personal privacy concern than a smart speaker in a kitchen. However, most people do so because the benefit outweighs the concern. Same with smart speakers. Whats the difference from having an Alexa and having your phone on the same counter from a privacy concern perspective? It is effectively 0.

"end-to-end encrypted"

user1 -- server -- user2

Does this mean user1 to user2 or user1 to server and user2 to server. Both of them are end to end when you define end as client(user1, user2) or server. Again, it was proven several times that real user to user encryption is very rare, I am only aware of SILC doing that. I do not know enough about WhatsApp to believe it is user to user and I do not trust Facebook with anything. You can prove me wrong though.

My point is that if abortion is murder (it is) then enforcing a one child policy in the world requires way more than 250,000 extra deaths _a year_. With our current voluntary abortion worldwide we are already at 56 million abortions per year.

So, let's not play games and pretend this is about preserving human life, in general. This is only about preserving the lives of a select few people: wealthy westerners and the lucky few in less developed countries that westerners feel guilty enough to save, or at least want their cheaper labor.

Yes. Sometimes X is a hairy problem and perhaps well beyond the scope of what anyone cares about, and Y is a well thought out distillation of a sub-problem.

One of the problems I have with stackoverflow is crafting a question so that only those who have the potential to answer the question will answer it. Unfortunately there are always the folks who want to be first to answer the question and don't understand the fullness of the question and proceed to give a quick, poorly thought out solution. This then keeps others from chiming in.

For example, in one question I was asking about JS array performance and was using bubble sort as just a way to exercise arrays. Immediately I get folks mocking me for using bubble sort -- they completely missed the point of the question.

>1949 to 1970s, China did a lot of things to reform the nation to be a unified nation in all aspects

To me these years seem to be the darkest.

Early - 1949->51 saw the apex of the first wave of landlord killing, possibly 30M were killed.

Then, in the late 50's and early 60's we have The Great Leap forward plan, and the consequential three years of famine.

Estimates have been made that gauge The Great Leap Forward as having killed 18M to 56M chinese people : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Leap_Forward

see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine

To round things off five years later The Cultural Revolution kicks off, you can visit university campus's in China today where you can still see where red guard factions fought each other in grenade battles. Maybe 10M Chinese died.

Do you have any source for that claim?
The opening bit “marketing term that loosely...” clearly explains that it’s pretty arbitrary when a service is called “serverless” and that decision is usually just a marketing one. Which is precisely true.

There’s no formal definition for “serverless”; it literally is just a marketing term that loosely describes shared tendency environment and The only reason Heroku isn’t “serverless” is because they don’t market themselves as that.

So it’s a pointless exercise nitpicking anyone’s definition since there isn’t an actual formal definition. Eg AWS uses the term serverless to describe other services that isn’t lambda.

The whole term is just made up marketing bullshit for shared tendency.

In the 70s we used to call it time sharing. But I doubt many people these days will remember that term.

Cockatrice is okay for Magic: the Gathering, though it could certainly be improved a lot (I feel like XMage is really of the same flavor).

It’s a shame playing Magic requires a lot more features than, say, Bridge — this is hardly exhaustive but in addition to needing to be able to put dice on cards, you need to be able to select and reveal cards at random from all zones, manipulate the top of your deck, create token cards, and tap/untap cards. I feel that this presents a large UX problem.
I really get confused about this. I wonder if it is because I'm a bit older. Plenty of part time employment is like that. For example, many people that work retail or service part time have very flexible schedules. They typically have an availability chart and then if they need a day off last minute, they are often required to find someone else to cover for them.

The reality is that the contractor part of this is to hide them(GrubHub) from the risk involved. That's what no one understands here. Bicycle messengers were notoriously the original "gig economy" job. The reason no one wanted to make them employees is that they would then be responsible for workers compensation when they got in an accident.

This is the same as GrubHub. You were lucky. You did not get in an accident. Someone else working for GrubHub somewhere else in the country probably did. And they very likely had very expensive medical expenses. Workers compensation also covers permanent long term disability payments if someone is injured and can no longer work. This can be millions of dollars.

When anyone does the math with these gig jobs, they leave out risk. That's the difference. GrubHub is pushing the risk of long term disability, and other things like unemployment due to business slowdown, entirely onto you. As well as other risks they are free from if you are not an employee.

Sure, there are cases where seemingly-ridiculous things are actually needed.

Where a lot of people commenting on this article are failing, though is thinking only about their needs and what they want. The people responding to your IRC message/ML post/etc are (usually) giving up their valuable time to help others for free, and making some accommodation for this is essential if you want to get anywhere useful.

On top of this, when you join a room/list where you aren't well known, the responders have no context on who you are, your level of experience, etc[0] - but what they DO have is long, long experience with people asking XY questions where Y is both ridiculous and not going to solve X anyway.

I know it's frustrating to have to go through your reasons when you are certain that damn_silly_thing_Y is actually the only way of solving your problem, but it is needed. After all, you're asking these people because they're likely more experienced than you are (or else why ask them?) and thus there's a chance you could be wrong.

0: And you can't often shortcut this - due to astronomically high rates of Dunning-Kruger cognitive bias in many of these venues, starting out with "I'm an expert, I know what I'm doing" without very convincing evidence is usually extremely counter-productive.

> Employees don't get to unilaterally set their own hours

Doesn’t it depends on the contract ? Nothing stops a company from letting their employee set their own hours.

That’s actually close to how door to door sales contracts work in some fields, where the company doesn’t care about how long or where the salesman works, and mostly pays by the sales number.
It's not about value systems. I'm pointing out the supposed humanitarian reasoning guiding these draconian ideas is in actuality just plain old human selfishness: the self selected elite want to preserve themselves and the small number of the rest of their fellow human beings they find useful in some way. Nothing truly principled and moral about the reasoning going on here.
I think it's generally good to always do both, on both sides. If you're asking, start with what you want, and then a why. If you're answering, I'm not sure the order is as important, but starting with whichever is shorter is probably a safe general rule.
