"We refer to the question: What sort of creature man’s next successor in the supremacy of the earth is likely to be. We have often heard this debated; but it appears to us that we are ourselves creating our own successors; we are daily adding to the beauty and delicacy of their physical organisation; we are daily giving them greater power and supplying by all sorts of ingenious contrivances that self-regulating, self-acting power which will be to them what intellect has been to the human race. In the course of ages we shall find ourselves the inferior race.

...

Day by day, however, the machines are gaining ground upon us; day by day we are becoming more subservient to them; more men are daily bound down as slaves to tend them, more men are daily devoting the energies of their whole lives to the development of mechanical life. The upshot is simply a question of time, but that the time will come when the machines will hold the real supremacy over the world and its inhabitants is what no person of a truly philosophic mind can for a moment question."

- Samuel Butler, 1863

Google SRE doesn't have magical incident response beans that we hoard from the rest of the world. What makes Google SRE institutionally strong is that we have senior executive support to execute on all the best practices described in the book:

At my last job, I bought a copy of this book, but we only had the organizational bandwidth to do a few of the things mentioned. At Google, we do all of them.

The incident on Sunday basically played out as described in chapters 13 and 14. There is always the fog of war that exists during an incident, so no, it wasn't always people calmly typing into terminals, but having good structure in place keeps the madness manageable.

> "Most methods of flying things through Earth's lower atmosphere should apply well to Venus at 50 km: balloons, planes, helicopters, etc."

The kind of flying logistics needed to operate a station like the one proposed is something that hasn't been demonstrated on Earth, so doing it on Venus seems like one hell of a stretch. The closest match is the airship aircraft carrier experiments, which did not go well. If it can't work reliably on earth, how can it work reliably above Venus?

I think it's one of those things that looks great on paper but in reality has a ton of trouble. I think airships are like that on Earth and on Venus.
probably, however i only know about the solokeys hacker as that is all i own, and even with that what you would want to do is modify the bootloader to only update with your own crypto keys that you then keep in secure offline storage.

As far as i can tell there is not documentation on how to do this but the 5min look i had at it made it look quite easy.

Do the 2fa services you are looking at using allow multiple keys to be configured per user? if so that would be a much better way to do it than cloning keys. they would still have their backup but there wouldn't be the same security issues that are apparent in the process of cloning the keys. If the computer you used to "clone" the keys had been breached prior to you cloning the keys then someone could theoretically find all your 2FA keys and your 2FA would be useless
Discord is much better for collaboration simply by virtue of it being simpler, I've found. Web client works great
According to my inner arm chair psychologist, at the root of all anxiety is fear. What do you think you’re afraid of? Shining a spot light on whatever the beast is that your mind has created, is usually a good way to deflate it. But don’t be mad at your mind for doing this, it’s only trying to protect you.

You nailed it when you alluded to there being people who your product can truly help, and therefore appreciate your reaching out. By focusing on whatever innate desire you truly have to help your customers, you can silence the self-doubt.

I have a lot of opinions on this as I work professionally with developers to help them “figure out sales” and sell their product into companies. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk.

All the greatest titles of the early 70s-2000s and were products of their times. The hardware and systems were limited, and the basic level writing and direction matched the limited graphics.

Fact is: engineers refuse to believe that creatives spent the same staggering amount of time honing their skills - it's just inconvenient because that means engineers possess about as much creativity as we do oop skills. That is a deep chasm. And it shows, pick a metric. They have had a near 0% success rate in creating new games outside the Orange box era.

Valve hasn't made any games 100% because their engineers aren't creatives. It's kinda like the one hit wonder phenomenon. It's common in creative fields, like when an artist accidentally stumbles on a style and finds success, only to never be able to 'create something as good as the original' because they never had the skills in the first place--while the skills they actually need to create consistently take a lifetime to hone--so as creatives, they fade to obscurity.
you should register for every channel

Some would consider that a feature, you only see the activity of the channels you've joined (but you can search for others at any time and you can preview messages in them before joining).

switching the channels is slow & non-intuitive

isn't "/join #channel-name" the same way you switch channels in IRC?
great username! to solve your problem, go volunteer at ANYTHING. whether its a marathon handing out water, a soup kitchen, habitat 4 humanity, bartender at a skatepark, ticket / usher guy at theatre or sports event. so many places need volunteers and its a great way to do something that brings you above your ego.

Most people can tell the difference between actions taking place in the real world and pictures. European law does too, I believe all sexual crimes involving pictures are punished less severely compared to real

Saying there's no difference reads like an anthropological report of a visit to an isolated tribe which is amazed by the people living in the little TV box.

Well yes, buying stock, sure - though a small shareholding in a mature stock is not going to get you very far.

But a significant shareholding in a small-medium business that provides a valuable product/service and ends up generating steady cash flows over the long term seems like the optimal approach in terms of risk/reward, and is something that a lot of people in the world could figure out how to do if they put their mind to it over a long enough period of time.

Of course ICOs are scams and I would agree that most start-ups are probably useless and doomed to fail. But to find the small portion of companies that turn out to work well, it makes sense to put money into many companies. That's the VC principle.

Mapbox vs. Google Maps: Choosing a Map for Your App
Disclaimer: I work at Google.

IRC is still actively used as a main communication channel internally at Google to coordinate during outages due to its reliable
and low-dependency nature (where a Slack equivalent app relies on hundreds of service dependencies). I know for a fact that Google is not the only company, and many others that practice SRE-like roles do the same.
What he seems to have missed is that no matter how complex the machine, it always has a creator and a master. Even the most sophisticated AI was designed someone who, deliberately or not, encoded that AI with biases likely mirroring that of its creator (e.g. racial bias in facial recognition software). Even if we achieve the singularity and have software making other software ad infinitum, the biases are there in the original program.
That’s right: we don’t handle plus size or big and tall lines yet, but we’re planning on adding them presently. We had to measure a subset of the jeans by hand to get the initial dataset, and unfortunately the larger sizes aren’t carried in brick and mortar stores (plus they aren’t based on the proportions of the smaller version of the same line, so they aren’t just “sized up” from the data we took).

I think that inability to "grip" things is the least of the problems with declawing. Complications, pain, problems walking and the whole idea of removing body parts at all count a little higher for me.

As an owner I think you can avoid getting scratched. As a vet... I personally have never been bitten (too little practical experience), but I've seen colleagues handle cats in a way that just spelled resignation to the fact that those teeth will connect and there is nothing to be done about it....
> If a contact does not have an email address, then there’s no corresponding row in the contact_email entity for that particular contact row. As opposed to the account entity, which would most likely use null to represent missing email addresses.

And then you compose a list with email and phone numbers. Have to use a left join not to miss rows and end up with - guess - NULLs for missing emails.

I agree that NULL (in DBs) is a difficult concept to grasp (you loose binary logic) but it’s trying to solve a difficult problem and every solution to that problem has negative parts. Just forbidding NULL values leads to funny workarounds like the mentioned “NULL“-String.
I dont think we need the singularity for machines to take over. The systems that run society are bigger than any of us and nobody can hold every single one of them in their head. If some emergent property or bug cropped up, most people would keep doing what the computer says, because theyre a small fish and we do what the system tells us. Whos the master now?

I share the frustration. I can get office365, with 1T of onedrive, mail, office apps etc for 15 / month, a subscription of even 5 a month is just nuts. Especially since the subscriptions seem to be just stacking up.

When he was 9 his parents moved to New York and he then attended one of the best schools in the US. Referring to his childhood as "I started as a poor kid in India" ignores that and makes it sounds like his later success has nothing to do with his privileged (but no less well-earned and deserved) education.

Most IRC clients allow you to quickly switch to frequently viewed channels via shortcuts (even irssi, a terminal client, does that). With Slack it is a clunky Ctrl-K and a first few letters of the channel name that may or may not lead to what you really want.
I honestly appreciate the lecture.

How does volume come into play? Well because the higher the surface area to volume ratio of a spheroid body is, the more efficiently it interacts with its surroundings, in this case by radiation.

That said, you haven't said a thing to support the position that Venus's atmosphere is the causal factor, and not a consequence of solar inputs. There's no reason to believe we can learn anything about the Earth's atmosphere from Venus than there is we can from Mercury.

Look this isn't that hard. Venus has the atmosphere it does because it used to absorb far more sunlight than it does now which caused the increased albedo.
I believe there is a pretty big untapped market of gamers that are more than casual mobile gamers but not enough so to buy their own hardware. 120.- a year means you‘d have to play for 20 years until you reach the cost of top line gaming hardware. And a subscription doesn‘t depreciate.

Fiber is different I think because of shitty regulation that favors incumbents and the insane cost of financing a physical network.
You're arguing that companies should fear the license because there is uncertainty and you doubt that an unproblematic interpretation is accurate, but that that isn't FUD. It's fear, uncertainty and doubt.

> The other point is that the intention of this license is explicitly to prevent people commercializing software licensed this way through proprietary extensions, additions, etc. The whole point of the license is to make that difficult/impossible. If you use AGPL software, you have to respect this intention.

That may be true, but why should you care if you are not actually doing that and are only using the software without modification?

> Even Gplv2 is generally frowned upon but better understood since there is a fair bit of case law around it

It is pretty uncommon for there to be existing caselaw interpreting a given software license. Proprietary software licenses are commonly unique to the software, sometimes even unique to the customer. If this is a concern then shouldn't a widely used form license like the AGPL be an advantage, because then it's more likely the first time a court has to interpret the text will be in somebody else's case and not yours?

> So, this is not FUD but basically lawyers doing their jobs and they are fairly consistent in their reservations with respect to this license across the industry. You talk to lawyers in any fortune 500 company and they'll probably will be very reluctant to sign off on any AGPL dependencies.

Have you experienced asking lawyers for their opinions on contract text? You'll generally get back a document identifying various concerns with just about every provision in the text, because that's their job.

For example, here's a fun provision from the Windows 10 license:

> [you may not] use the software as server software, for commercial hosting, make the software available for simultaneous use by multiple users over a network, install the software on a server and allow users to access it remotely, or install the software on a device for use only by remote users;

What does that mean? How will a court interpret it? Should corporations avoid Microsoft Windows as a result, because they might violate some interpretation of the license and then be liable for copyright infringement?

Lawyers having concerns about license terms is par for the course. What you haven't established is what makes the AGPL unusual in that regard, as compared with the above or a hundred other provisions in various other licenses.
I suppose nobody believes him, zero reactions around this. Should've just released it right away.

I used IRC from 1992 to 2019, and was gradually pushed away from IRC by years of harassment from anonymous/registered accounts. It turns out that IRC's anonymity is incompatible with harassment swarming behaviors. I'm sad to see it fail as a social platform, but I won't miss it.
I'm guessing this is probably walled garden approach, Stadia without multi-platform functionality, cross play.

I doubt many AAA game Devs are ready to go all-in on Stadia, unless they are getting subsidies from Google so Stadia will compete with the Consoles, and PC elites.

What would be great though is that if a really liked an played a game i played on my Hardware PC/Console, what would be great is that i could simply invite a set friends to play onetime through the cloud anywhere and all the friends would need to do is login to Stadia and get to play instantly through chrome.
the term clone has been used that way a lot even commercially just pointing to game mechanics and other game elements. i do believe what this list is showing is probably more in line with the term clone though where it is basically a copy but their own assets or the original assets(you had to buy the game and thus have the assets) but their own engine which is less common but to name a couple openmw, and gemrb.
Real-world example from my Gnucash file: I buy a present for my friend Alice for say 50$. Another friend, Bob, wants to share half of the cost and promises to give me the money next week.

I can easily [1] represent this as a split transaction where 50$ go out of my wallet's account. Half goes into Expenses:Gifts:Alice, half goes into AccountsReceivable:Bob. Once Bob pays me back, I transfer the money from AccountsReceivable:Bob back into Wallet.

[1] I guess I have different standards of "easy" than most of the population.
Well, they are still called batteries. So I assume they are still rechargeable and you can charge your battery.

I think the idea is to save you time at charging station if you can do a swap and go. + increase the performance life of your car by making it cheap to replace the battery.

Unless making ultra fast rechargeable batteries is sustainable, safe, and environment-friendly, Battery swapping is a good option.
Any vaguely modern IRC server runs nameserv and allows you to block unregistered nicks from channels. It's not by any means a solved problem but it's a good stopgap against spam floods and the like.

It’s probably more than just “some buyers will forget or not bother to redeem the rebate.” There are other reasons, like price discrimination.
Near future tech wrt sex and VR? I don’t know. The absence of mainstream sex bots and VR porn is striking at least in the Bay Area. Maybe it isn’t so in the EU or Asia, but Silicon Valley can be pretty buttoned up. There is nothing brave or new about virtual sex. Let’s face it. Internet porn of the 90s built the Internet. If VR tech is to become main stream, you better believe that it will be when the public demands that they don’t want to throw up during VR sex.
That would require in-app purchases, no?
The reaction to the AGPL seems to almost mirror the reaction to the GPL 20 years ago, so many companies were afraid of running anything GPL'd then but they got over it eventually. I think the same will happen with the AGPL, cloud providers will probably be the MS of this era, they'll be the last to accept it.
