I know the context, but that's irrelevant here. Whatever the cause, a root cause analysis pointing back to CF is nice for CF to help solve the situation, and is even nice to have for us tech enthusiasts here on HN (though it should still maintain professionalism). But for customers and decision makers at companies that might be looking at considering purchasing Cloudflare, you know what I don't care about? Who's fault it was. There are multiple buckets of companies here:

1. Cloud providers that were effected enough to apparently devote not insignificant CEO and CTO time to it (Cloudflare)

2. Cloud providers that were affected but seemingly not enough for it to even register as anything more than a blip on their status tracker (Google, AWS, etc)

3. Cloud providers that weren't effected

As a potential customer thinking about buying services from one of these companies, which one do you think I am doing to do with? It certainly won't be CF. And if I am already engaged with CF, I want to know what CF is going to do to mitigate this situation in the future, and no, pointing fingers like a child and saying "it wasn't our fault!" doesn't count.

Cloudflare can't really control Verizon's actions that lead to this situation, but they can control how they respond to it and mitigate it. They had an opportunity to stand up as a leader and improve the internet (which is literally their company motto). As you pointed out, the internet working correctly is a matter of companies working together as good actors, and getting these companies to work together via good, strong relationships is a part of that.

Did Cloudflare do that? Nah. Instead, they made a petty blog post and their CEO is on Twitter telling Verizon they should be ashamed. I don't know exactly what his goal there was, but I assume it has something to do with hoping they'll be better in the future (if that's not his goal, then it really is just petty finger pointing). And if Cloudflare's CEO's method of getting people to improve their work is to publicly shame them, I really feel bad for anyone who works under him.
I am so angry and sad when I see this post. As a Chinese , i have to say , your way of texting is not " science ". you just notice the difference of Japanese , why don't you notice ours ! You have damaged China's reputation!
It helps me to think of healthcare costs here as a tax. On average, the US pays a bit higher taxes than the EU with this consideration :)
They decided to take on the risk of possibly having their rig knocked over by drilling in a dangerous place because the potential reward while it was pumping was large enough according to their calculations (do note their calculations may or may not have cynically included wondering if there are enough people who are thinking like you are) and lost that bet.

Vegas never seems concerned I thought the other team was going to win.
Science is an authorize academic magazine in all over the world, I don't understand why would this paper could be recognized in it. It's a crucial time when China and America have the unsettled relationship, which giving people more information over it. Concentrate at this study ,obviously it has so many disadvantage,why a excellent professor have designed such sick experiment and it even couldn't approve this conclusion, at the end it left a feeling hurting in our chinese heart.
I don't know what Chomsky was listening too but IME talk back radio + sports is anything but nuanced and well reasoned, it's even more emotionally charged and driven by bias (particularly confirmation bias) than normal talk back. Blaming the coach even though there was a good performance with an ordinary team, blaming a key player for a loss because the screwed up at a key moment despite an overall great game, blaming a player for doing nothing despite drawing 2 defenders to let his team run riot, the complete inability to realize that bad games happen.

I'd rather read youtube comments than listen to sports talk back.
What are you talking about?

EITC, SNAP, Section 8 housing, SSI, TANF, WIC, Medicaid, etc.

This site estimates over $700 billion per year spent on these programs: http://federalsafetynet.com/safety-net-programs.html
That gets 99% of their SoCs and other chips from Broadcom at cost. Don't forget this if you decide to compete -- you can't win on price.

Wow this is the first time I've seen this argument used for the USA. "Only" 15% of global emissions - out of 195 countries. It's still the world's second biggest emitter - I think it would slow down global warming a lot if the US cut emissions.

Usually this argument is trotted out in Australia, which is responsible for 1% of global emissions.
The pushrods in the e61 grouphead are easily replaceable parts that are expected to be replaced as part of maintenance, as is the cam. The only complexity is that "e61" covers a bunch of groupheads from different manufacturers that require slightly different lengths, so you need to get the right ones for your exact machine.

Here is one guide http://coffeetimex.wikidot.com/e61-group-servicing but there are also videos on youtube.
The UN should apply sanctions to the USA equal to the amount of subsidies they are paying to fossil fuels companies.
I had genuinely profound thoughts and feelings when I was on lsd that I would say changed the course of my whole life in a positive way. That you can’t describe them or put them into words doesn’t make them meaningless or valueless, it makes them _ineffable_.

Most of the most amazing and important experiences of my life, the ones that I would choose if I were forced to say which were the ones that made life worth living, fall into that category.
CH4 is also dangerous. It's a different problem. CH4 blows up your house and is very rare. CO kills you and is very rare. CO2 buildup causes mild issues (like headaches, sleepiness) but is very common.
Here [1] is what happened when Sweden tried a similar tax. Multiple other countries have tried it Sanders style and obtained similar market destruction.

He really should check what his plans have done historically. They’ve all been tried many times, and not made long term policy, for empirical reasons he routinely ignores.

Many people choose earbuds that are not isolating intentionally because they want to be aware of their surroundings and thus don't increase the volume to compensate.

That might be true, but I'd bet good money most people chose non-isolating earbuds because they don't know any better (or know of the existence of isolating earbuds).

It is simply one facet of more pervasive deceit in society.

Back in the day, when you placed a long distance call, an operator would come on to ask you what your number was so the call could be billed to you. A single call might be a dollar or a few dollars, which would be ten to several tens of dollars in today's money.

No one would imagine that such a system would work today.
Agree.

Inflation statistics in the UK are almost entirely useless for the same reason.

You cannot use CPI to determine a "real rate of return" because anything you'd actually want to buy is not included.

The basket makes up something daft like 10-20% of my expenditure because, yeah, groceries and electronics and stuff are cheap.

It's a metric that only really has relevance to retirees with homes paid off on a fixed income. Everyone else spends ~40%+ on housing.
So in this example it’s your fault you were walking down the street and because you work out being hit by a car won’t hurt you?
Oh, yes, that is the documentary I watched. It was really great, getting to hear it from Mr. Stoll's mouth directly. He was much less enthusiastic than he tends to be in Numberphile videos, I imagine that might be down to the director of the film. It is available on YouTube if anyone cares to give it a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcKxaq1FTac

But why is "throwing a black box at it" good?

The goal of research is usually to rip those boxes open to figure out what's inside and how it works. Moving away from that towards opaque predictions doesn't make a lot of sense to me, especially when the predictions aren't even that much better. Plus, a lot of this work seems weirdly disconnected from what the rest of the field knows to be (im)plausible.

Obviously, black boxes can be useful tools. DeepLabCut is incredibly helpful and will save a lot of grad students a lot of tedium, and that probably wouldn't happen if it involved a lot of tuning. Predictions can also be very useful--frankly, we'll take anything we can get for most neuropsych conditions--but mechanisms and targets for intervention are so much more useful. I know there is some work on this, but it's drown out by the 0.99AUC!!1!! (in a small, cherrypicked group) stuff.
C won't have slow dev time, assuming that experienced devs are writing the code. There are a ton of abstractions directly accessible from C, and lots of people know them really well.

C might not be fastest though. Rust can make more optimizations than C for example. Fortran is often faster than C too.
> Hmm. My issue with that is a majority consensus could decide that, for instance, .gov domains should no longer be relegated to the American government. Same issue as with a crypto 51% takeover.

I'm sure other countries would like to use .gov.

I didn’t visualize it when I first read your comment, but I can visualize it if prompted. This might be because information can be parsed and stored more quickly in abstract terms, that is, without visualization.

Many high deductible ones, where you are covering multiple people (e.g. a spouse and a kid).

And almost everyone where some medical professional, somewhere in the chain of hospital visits, happened to be out of network - someone you had no idea would be involved. Examples would be where the doctor sent lab results to another doctor for analysis, etc.
Simplifying: anything which ends up with long-term exposure to high decibel levels is bad for your ears.

You can mitigate this by reducing the decibel level. One excellent way of doing this is by blocking out the external sound, so you can listen to the sound you want at a lower level.

The easiest way to do that is to use in-ear monitors, IEMs, headphones that go quite deeply into your ears. Using Comply foam tips or silicone triple-flange tips can reduce the outside noise 25-35dB.

Alternatively, you can use ear defenders on top of nearly any earphone in existence.
Depends on the price!

I’m assuming the main mobile/IoT use case will be persistent video. Real-time streaming for facial recognition, event detection, survey, etc.

It will replace most of the MPLS and similar tech for field offices. Better mousetrap.

Personally, I’m more interested in low bandwidth (3G-like), high penetration technology for IoT.. metering, telemetry, etc. In the long run, I think hardware will get cheaper and faster at lower power, and streaming everything to cloud will always be less reliable and higher opex.
Often called the N body problem, but the issue occurs when N>=3, so calling it "the 3 body problem" usually sufficiently identifies it in the literature.

Great question, and I am happy to have my 1 in 10k time today! (Nice being on the informing end for once).

Is it time to put an HF ham radio rig in each major provider’s office? I shudder thinking of a major outage where even phone communication can’t take place.

I’m only half joking.

This is pretty much it; it's much easier to ask people to wear more clothing than it is to take them off.

Even in an apartment with 3 roommates, we'd have a fight because someone thinks 72 is too cold and it is too hot for me even if I'm barely naked.
There’s only one camera ribbon connector on a Pi board, not sure if you could also plug in a USB cam or not.
The question is about the quality of life people have when they are on such programs.

Also, it's not about how much is spent but how much people actually get. I read somewhere not too long ago that if you divided the amount of money spend on welfare programs by the number of recipients a family of three would be getting $60,000 a year. This is not the case. Welfare administration eats up the difference.
Additionally, I think the marketing around active noise cancelling has been so good that most people have no clue a good pair of in-ear earbuds can do just as well (without causing the weird artifacting that active cancelling can) passively.
iOS has a bypass list for “Do Not Disturb” mode, but sound is disabled via a hardware switch next to the volume buttons.

As a workaround, I’ll use the “Find my iPhone” chime which is the one way to bypass the hardware switch if I need to get my wife’s attention while the phone is set to silent.

Tricks and Tips: Debugging Your Website from Android Devices by Tapas Adhikary
> It's much more difficult to read since you have to know the position of elements of the struct

At least the Go editor I use (GoLand by JetBrains, one of the more popular ones) will display the names of all the fields in positional initializers inline with the code (just as they would be in a named initializer), so it's pretty much the same readability-wise. There's a special color for these automatic labels that indicates they aren't actually part of the document.

> in the case you add and remove a field of the same type, it's entirely possible the program will compile fine

True although I think it's easier to work around this (by fixing the compile errors from removing the old field before adding the new one).
This is one of the awesome things about Plug, in the sense that if your library or what have you targets Plug it'll work reasonably well (if not entirely seamlessly) in a Phoenix app, a Sugar app, a pure-Plug app, a $SomeOtherFramework app, or what have you.

Plug happens to be somewhere in between the two outcomes you've presented, of course; its development happens very closely to that of Elixir (and it's arguably a sub-project thereof), but it ain't a core part of the language itself (last I checked; maybe this has changed in recent years).
The team's design goal was 1 watt, but the chip ended up needing only a tenth of a watt. In fact on the original testbed they forgot to wire up the power lines to the chip, but the processor still worked, appearing to be running on no power at all! It turned out that it needed so little power that it could run on just the leakage from the data lines.

> Many people...

Sure, but the study that's discussed showed that most people don't do that. They do indeed turn the volume up to dangerous levels, mediated by the type of earphones they're using. You and I are not the norm, and so it's something that's worth looking into, no?
The flaw here is that very few of the people who use and enjoy that internet are willing to pay that same price.

All is not lost though. You can always opt out and run your own DNS or use hostfiles. Then you can have the internet you want and everyone the can have the internet they want.
I thought the opposite from outside the US - I thought the US lambasted (rightfully) BP which caused BP to almost go out of business - they had asset sales at the time to pay for the costs.

There were pension liquidity fears at the time due to the costs that it needed to pay. BP provides a large percentage of dividend payments on the the London Stock Exchange which pension funds rely on for paying out pensions.

The wikipedia page is quite clear on how much BP paid in damages and they were not insignificant - $42Billion had been paid into a trust fund.

To say no effect is incorrect.
I really like my QuickMill QM67 - I use it every day, and have for 6 years. I figure I have close to 5000 shots on it and it has had only about $20 of parts replaced (group gasket, some locktite on the steam nut).
Debunking myths of high performance computing and Linux containers
A meaningless and ridiculous paper with full of prejudice and arrogance! In China，very less people use email. In general, submitting the lost wallet to police or lost and found place are more commonly way. However, the authors choose Email as contact way without considering the more commen method. How can a person contact you via email if he/she does not have an email? How can such an irresponsible paper published in an adademic journal！
The quality of grind tends to be the weakest link in most home barista situations. It's easy for most people to justify buying the expensive espresso machine, or buy a kilo of beans from the last cafe they got a great coffee from, but the grinder is often neglected.

For the nerds on HN, the difference between a good grinder and junk is the consistency of particle size. There's an optimum particle size that will result in the greatest amount of desirable flavours being extracted; most cheaper grinders will spit out a wide gamut of particle size.

One of the most important jobs of a barista is to manage the grind fineness to optimise for the beans.

The reason that perfect espresso isn't made by a robot—the reason why the process is so variable—is because the source material (the beans) are volatile. They're constantly changing, each batch is slightly different, their properties change as they off-gas every day from when they're roasted, and they're greatly affected by storage and ambient humidity. Some of these variances can be compensated for by adjusting the grind.
Hey, we're a UGC software specializing in product reviews. Basically, we create a system where customers are rewarded discount points for reviewing online purchases. A couple things:

1. Like most competitors, we send review requests via email. But unlike most competitors, we also use a personable Facebook chatbot to solicit reviews from customers.

2. Discount points can be spent at any store connected to our catalogue, creating a global points system no other software has.

It’s not a question of if they can. It’s a question of if they want to. Fixing it would cost money and it’s cheaper to just leave it so here we are.
Well, to provide a different opinion, I've never experienced anything lasting from it. I maybe had one realization, once, which is that everything in life is so silly I should just not get upset about it. Though on one of the 6 times I tried it I also had a very bad panic attack. To me, it's just that a drug is a drug, not a panacea.

There is nothing magic about it, and lots of drugs make you think you're smarter than you really are.

Woke up repeatedly this morning to PagerDuty after working late last night. Threw numerous wailing electronics at wall. Later, ordered several “fancy coffees”. Will be sending bill to Verizon for two phones, a pager, a wall, and three fancy coffees.

Edit/Disclaimer: Yes, this is a joke. I woke up to several serious alarms just as the problem was starting. Luckily, I thought to check Cloudflare’s status page from my phone around the second or third time PagerDuty called me. I saw a preliminary notice from them indicating that they were observing networking issues. At that point, I decided I’d rather watch the world burn from my bed than my computer, so I “scheduled” maintenance for a few hours and went back to bed. Our whole infrastructure had split by that point, but there was nothing I could do about it.
Other than "not enough people are interested" what is stopping you or any group of people from using such a decentralized system as your primary name resolver today? I.e. if it's not in the web of trust use existing DNS as a fallback and watch it grow. I'm not sure I'd trust such a system to prevent banksite.com from being hijacked but I don't need to for you to.
Wow, I didn’t realize it was Google’s job to control national politics.

While I'm not a big fan of Atlassian's software - I did end up in their old offices for various hackerspace related meetups a long time back.

They had a big sign on the wall "Don't fuck the customer."

That's a much better ethos that "move fast and break things", or "Get shit done" in my mind... (Even if it is just performative customer facing propaganda, at least it shows that management understands that's a key requirement customers want to be told they'll meet...)

Regarding those really aggressive claims, I was a bit shocked by that as well.

Either Cloudflare has some pre-existing beef with Verizon and is using this as an opportune moment to dump on them ... or Tom Strickx (who wrote the blog post) had his beauty rest interrupted early this morning to deal with Verizon's screw-up and was not having it.
