Plant seeds tend to travel far and wide with birds and animal migratory patterns. What takes root is dependent on soil, climate, etc. Meaning, what’s native is less dependent on location and more on conditions.

As climate changes, conditions change, and so the set of plants best suited to any particular location changes as well.
> From my understanding of things, the biggest thing in the way is that processing payments costs money.

The biggest problem is people don't want to pay much for contents. They have no problem paying $2/day for a cup of coffee but then taking about online contents they will talk about cents.
Plant ranges are migrating due to climate change. For species that are native to areas close enough to be introduced naturally invasive is not a useful definition.
"X beats Y's target" makes sense to me due to the nature of the stock market, and how expectations are "baked into" the share price.

Quarterly earnings are all about performance relative to expectation, while it is accurate to say that the analysts are wrong in this instance, the market gives so much "trust" to analysts that we expect their targets to be expressed in good faith (I sense an SEC violation otherwise), so when a company beats expectations we view that as a decent proxy for performance.

More than one region is pretty easy, more than one provider is harder (especially if your workload is designed from the ground up for it.) But, yes, just as multi-region protects you from things mere multi-AZ doesn't, multi-provider protects you from even more.
According to their docs [0], it was added in Chrome 70 behind a flag/origin trial. I'm guessing that 74 is when the flag got turned to ON by default? Here's the change which was back in February [1], so I think that's correct.

I think (I'm winging it here), it's because the market acts on the analysts predictions. The market turns the analysts predictions into expectations and acts on them.
I bought the report from the website, which includes two maps, a booklet, postcards and (I'm not kidding) a vinyl record with the audio version of the report.

The whole package is BEAUTIFUL. It's some of the most delightful information design I've seen in a very long time. Totally worth the $75.
Yup, and given Cloudflare's recent performance, I'd venture that more heavy-handed contracts need to be negotiated with them to drive an improvement in performance, or at the very least a paradigm shift in how they sustain availability to the clients who really care for it.
Scheme is only about removing features from a language document, not from actual systems.
I have another one to add: after the collapse of the Soviet Union the capitalism of the west no longer had to make the social and humanistic concessions like back when there was something that was preceived as a real competing system.

The time after the Berlin wall fell is one of neo liberalism, privatizations, destruction of civil and social rights etc. And my thesis is, that this is not just by accident but due to a lack of competition in the systemic field.

The autocratic systems that called themselves socialist turned out to be so elitist and corrupt in their core that people are so afraid of going anywhere near it they will go full circle and come back on the other side.

In the US even centrist social democrats are labled socialists, people we Europeans would call a moderate conservative..
Click the asterisk. “All prices listed herein are Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices (MSRP), which exclude installation, taxes and other costs, and are subject to change without prior notice.”

The 2019 Nissan Leaf S is priced at “$29,990,” plus a destination charge of $895. Though last I checked Tesla has a "destination fee" of $1,125 even if you pick it up at the factory.
1. Agreed that CSPRNG are fast enough for most purposes, and should be the default PRNG basically everywhere.

2. The magic ingredients of a CSPRNG are not only the "secret entropy" for seeding, but also the property that given a sequence of its outputs, it's sufficiently hard to predict the next output (this implies that it won't fail the usual statistical tests - every CSPRNG is a PRNG, but not vice versa: for example, with 624 outputs of the Mersenne Twister, you can predict all subsequent ones.)

This next-bit test property was sort of implied (by saying "stream cipher"), but I wanted to spell it out, as it's good to have in one's mental model.

3. For some purposes (such as Monte Carlo simulations), a non-CSPRNG makes sense, as they're still faster. (But given the asymmetric payoffs of a mistake, default should be CSPRNG.)
Exactly. Those plants are not invasive.
No comparison. Venice is uniquely spectacular and you can easily visualise the past in it
Where did you get that info?
Of course they delivered more cars.

The Model 3 is substantially cheaper than the S/X models which means you get more volume with lower margins. And we are seeing quarter by quarter a drop in the ARPU as the S/X models are being cannibalised by the Model 3.

It's amazing that Musk has twisted the narrative to be all about deliveries instead of profitability. But ultimately unless they can dramatically reign in costs it will be their downfall.
Because you want the most salient piece of information at the start.

Otherwise, the front page of a financial site would look like this:

* Analysts miss target regarding Tesla
* Analysts are optimistic about Q2 returns for Boeing
* Analysts etc.

> this is why availability zones and regions have been established by each provider.

But the degree of independence provided by AZs is not constant across providers, despite similar terminology.

I disagree about being better then C. Compile time asserts can be created using #error in C, and having something happen out of order at the end of a scope is a terrible idea. One of the main strengths of C is that everything is explicit and nothing happens without you saying so.

I don't think I agree with this line of thinking.

How can we determine data is "useless" if we do not analyze the data?

New technology may have good and bad aspects but that doesn't mean it prevents us from doing what works.
Yes, they do really well on this - open, transparent, posting information quickly as soon as they were fairly sure what the problem was. I always really enjoy their writing, both incident reports and writeups of new features. The only thing I think they could have managed better was their status page, which claimed they were up (every service was green) when they were not.
Here Tesla is the active agent, whereas the weatherman is the active agent in that scenario because rain is 'dumb' compared to a company. One wouldn't write 'the target avoided being hit by the archer' in a more hyperbolic example. Not that the other way around is wrong per say, just that the emphasis changes.
It is interesting NGINX returned 502 nearly instantly under very heavy CPU load. I would have expected requests to just hang or timeout.
Yes. At first I thought they were related.
I don't have a strong opinion either way, but do we really have to call the decision to not have kids "genetic suicide?" I'm not the sole custodian of my genetics, it's not like I have some freak mutation that's going to save the species. We are largely genetically similar.
Yes, both part of John Salmon, D. E. Shaw et al.'s Random123 suite. I am actually surprised that they're so fast, I'd have thought that PCG or the xoroshiro family is faster. But then, none of them are CSPRNG.

Show HN: A tiny JS library for real-time localization of eye pupils
If you see companies as a force-of-nature that can only be marginally influenced by humans, then you're right that the only variable is the analyst's prediction accuracy.

But if you see companies as organizations made up of humans, that are capable of both overperforming and underperforming, then you have multiple variables. An analyst could provide an estimate for future-sales, and this estimate could be the best possible estimate given the information known at the time. And the estimate could still be wrong because the company's leadership/workers succeeded in turning things around.

TLDR: If you believe in free-will, then it's possible for someone to beat highly-accurate 3rd party estimates. If you don't believe in free-will, then any mis-estimates are purely due to analyst error
Even when I only really need C, the contract programming that D provides is really helpful as it provides a macro free way of doing rigorous assertions etc. in a way that I can turn off without infecting the actual logic code.
If a struct's payload cannot be null, for example, getting the compiler to insert checks into all uses in debug builds can be done easily

That and metaprogramming in D is all compile time so you get RSI-free hands, for free.

Thanks! If it makes you feel better, you can already use Calibre to do basic ebook editing (bulk find/replace profanity, etc.) - your ebook just needs to be DRM-free.

All my project allows me to do is export a set of changes on a book to a JSON-based metadata format, so the changes can be shared. I'm afraid to monetize it because I don't think I could deliver a good UX without breaking DRM (which would get me into legal hot water), but perhaps making it into a context-free Calibre plugin might be safe...

Ask HN: How to determine the failure of availability zone?
Been seeing a lot of instances of downtime or degraded service with cloud providers these days.

The AWS Well-Architected [1] suggests to spread the service over multiple AZ's to reduce downtime.

In case of AZ failure, is there any API to determine the status of AZ dynamically or do we rely on own health checks to determine corrective action? Is AWS Health API [2] any useful? Can it be made cloud-agnostic?

All models are wrong, but some are useful.
I live on a 1ha (2.4acre) property in far southwest (Zeeland) Netherlands, an area of mostly commercial farming. Our neighbors on all sides are commercial farmers.

We, however, are permaculture novices/enthusiasts. My girlfriend knows what each plant does, why it grows well or does not, and what it provides to plants/insects around it.

Since moving here a year ago, we have seen a marked increase in bee and bird numbers. Unfortunately, the owners of the property have the "tidy" mentality; periodically they come and destroy flowers and "weeds" that they think do not belong. It's utterly depressing. Tonight, after a culling, I walked and observed many large bees ducking in and out of the flowers on cut plants. And while I don't know the name of the bees we have, they live individually in holes dug in the ground (like the ones in the article).

It is such a battle to educate people that think the right way is to cut the grass on the lowest setting, to use herbicides to remove plants that are not simple grasses, and to otherwise sanitize things they don't understand. When I walked out and spoke to the guy and said, "We really enjoyed the fresh parsley we used from this plant that you just destroyed", he seemed a bit shocked. To him it was a weed.

If the glaciers are indeed melting at unprecedented (in human terms) rates, and the ice caps are melting, and the co2 is accumulating, sea levels and temperatures rising, etc. etc., it becomes quite difficult to see a decent future for humanity beyond 100 (or 40?) years. It's enough to make one want to just burn everything down and finish the job to get it over with.
Maybe it should look like that.
Gmail et al. still add the headers if you send the message through an actual email client though, just not if you send it through the web client. And I'm guessing that the vast majority of email users still use email clients at least some of the time, given that they work much better on your phone and they're the easiest way for consumers to have a backup of their email.
Well, there's no accounting for taste I suppose - needless to say I disagree, but if it wasn't for you, so be it. I do note the books seem a little divisive; people either love them or hate them, much like Stephenson.

I do understand how some people might find the dialogue somewhat strange, especially if they haven't had much exposure to foreign media before. The translator always has a choice as to how much they "westernize" the dialogue. This translator did indeed try to keep as much of the Chinese "tone" in there as he could, and as such if you were expecting totally normal English, I can see how you'd be disappointed.

So yes, anyone thinking about picking this up should be aware - it doesn't read like a Tom Clancy novel. If that doesn't scare you off, though, I think you'll find it most rewarding.

This is absolute truth, it’s very likely you will be called back if the vendor they chose starts cutting corners. You might even have more work to clean up the mess they leave behind.
I like your idea about nationalization vs privatization of national security, but it appears that your example about the US could also be applied to China - replace the NSA with China's MSS, and Facebook with Wechat.

However, large companies in China are tightly coupled with government when it comes to national security issues, while there is probably more pushback in the US.
There is no cold war between the US and China so Reuters must have gotten their title wrong.
Tangential question: does Google allow employees, not directly tasked with it, to represent the company online as they wish? Most companies I know of have a strict ‘do not speak for the company’ policy.

Unfortunately not – they're all private, internal views at the moment. I do hope to clean up some of my components and write something about some of the cool workflow aspects I've been able to unlock.

In the meantime, I would recommend walking through the tutorials & examples. They're very well written and I go back to them regularly to try out different parts. Try just making a simple line chart! Now make six on one page! Now try to link the rollovers for all of them! You'll probably learn a ton doing just that.
I agree with blog author's sentiments. Go is a bit too imperative but that really aides in a team environment. Though the Golang's constructs are a bit bland (especially error handling) it actively prevents code to be too intelligent there by aiding readability I am able to work on the code I wrote 2 years ago with little difficulty in Golang and I can't make the same claim for other `leading` languages (though I assume full responsibility for what happened)

Edit: grammer and spelling
Because way more people care much more about companies and their stock prices than play celebrity analyst.

Analysts predict value of a company based on a lot of public data, and usually the stock price reflects those expectations.

Who cares a hoot if analysts are wrong? Whereas Tesla beating expectations and their sales numbers are more important.
I would expect the stable based dispatch to be handled quite well with branch prediction. And surely the cache misses from those nested loops would have a much worse impact. Even if a few extra instructions have to run per pixel it's going to be quicker than a fetch from main memory.

All the examples, in each language, could be rewritten as a cache oblivious algorithm to optimise cache usage. This would speed them all up. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache-oblivious_algorithm
Notable in that they raise concern about Canonical controlling snap app distribution. It strikes me as a legitamate threat to linux if one format controlled by a single vendor gains dominance in the ecosystem. Especially because a number of big vendors such as spotify and jetbrains are choosing snap as the way forward.

The entire issue would be alleviated if snap allowed others to host their own store fronts in a similar manner as flatpak.

I always considered the Google Cloud approach of a "single account, multiple projects" a lot cleaner than the AWS "hundreds of accounts" approach. Do you not find this the case?
There seems to be at least one positive to death: the end of the struggle. If you don't exist you don't need to worry, to suffer, to care. There's a certain type of comfort in knowing that at the end of it all, it's really not that important. Immortality seems to me as too many paths to a hellish existence, especially since we aren't adapted to such an existence, psychologically or physically.

This veers into the realm of philosophy but potentially almost everything we enjoy about life may be because of our mortality, even the feeling of happiness itself may be derived from knowing that tomorrow we may be dead. An immortal existence seems so different from the human experience that I can't say that it has a high chance of being a positive thing.
How much software genuinely requires not having a GC? If you don't want it, don't use it, but using it can make your software completely safe and fast (Garbage Collection is often faster than RC as long as pause times are acceptable, and added memory use).

A lot of the standard library ranges are inherently lazy and therefore require no interaction with the GC. Exceptions are also nogc now.
Could be, yeah, but I can't see how to implement that with USB's friction model of retention.
Although the squirrels in that park were introduced by humans, it should be noted (as mentioned in the article you cite) that those squirrels, Eastern Grays, are native to that area. They just were no longer in that particular place because we destroyed their habitat to make room for our cities there.

So in a sense introducing them to parks in those cities was just putting back what we had driven off.

It's interesting that the Eastern Gray squirrel was also introduced to parks in Seattle. The Eastern Gray is not native out here. The native squirrels out here are the Western Gray, the Douglas, the Red, and the Northern Flying squirrels.

That raises the question of why when they decided they wanted squirrels in the parks that they went to the trouble of importing Eastern Grays from the other side of the country, instead of just sending someone out to trap a few Western Grays and release them in the parks.

It turns out that the reason is that a lot of the parks feature non-native trees. Western Grays really want to live off of native trees, and so don't do well in those parks. Eastern Grays either are native to the same places the non-native trees are native to, or are happy with them anyway, so they do fine in Washington parks, regardless of whether or not those parks feature native plants or non-native plants.

That also means the Eastern Grays did fine when they left the parks, and they have pretty much completely replaced the Western Gray. There's now only three isolated populations in the state, where once they were widespread and common.
What you're saying in (2) is essentially the same thing as saying "a typical CSPRNG is a stream cipher keyed by entropy", except that people seem to have a really hard time reasoning about what "predictability of the next bit" means, and not so hard of a time reasoning about what the keystream of a stream cipher does.
