While the article is a bit informative, it is hard to take it seriously. It claims to bring "serverless" to a webpage near you, yet one of its prerequisites is: "You need to have a Kubernetes cluster up & running.", which implies a server (actually several), so not so "serverless" in the end.

The entire "serverless" movement seems to preach something that is impossible. You can't have internet without a server. You can offload server management and maintenance onto a provider, that is true, but you can't remove it entirely from your stack. So preaching "serverless" architecture is disingenuous and IMHO rather ignorant.
It's called a log-structured file system. LWN has a good overview:

SSDs implement them internally, and some Android devices use the F2FS filesystem:

Thats a while 9 months for them to give a free allowance of IP's (say 5 per account), support IPv6, or backtrack on the plans entirely.

So where do we draw the line? Of course, no real computer implementation of any language is going to be able to generate fundamentally pure code because in the end they're going to be mutating memory (at the very least the program counter).

That's not a very useful distinction, and usually one talks about "purity" at a conceptual level. The language provides a layer of abstraction in which things can be considered pure (or not), even if the underlying implementation e.g. makes optimizations that require mutation. The language is just a guarantee that you can ignore these aspects of its implementation.
And Google hasn't been buying up big blocks like that, so are probably running out, so are having to introduce a charge for them...
Is it possible? EEG+AI/ML+Screen to amplify emotions and treat depression
I've been playing with an idea. Using EEG + AI/ML + Screen to amplify your meditation. Although I don't know if it can be called that as it may be a more hypnotizing experience.
The basic idea is “trigger emotion with a push of a button” using meditation, but I’m not sure I can call it that as it has some effects of hypnotism, but not sure that is true as well.

Here's the blueprint: https://hren.io/files/Meditation.pdf

The AI would need to read the emotion through brainwaves (unless there’s a better way) and apply changes to it via controller variables (speed, size, movement, colors,…) and based on instant feedback “hold” the user in that "zone".

Can this be created with desired results?

I see a lot of use cases and benefits from it but think it should be "open source" and not for commercial use. I see a lot of bad things and manipulation you could do with it as well so some control would be needed.

The visuals can be many different experiments. I've found that Victor Vergara's Perlin noise could be quite interesting as the AI can control a lot of its variables: https://codepen.io/vcomics/full/djqNrm/

Anyone wants to help with the prototype and try to create this?

The tech stack I thought for the proto would be React/React Native, Tensorflow JS, three.JS. But I'm missing some parts and technical knowledge to pull this off.

>it can take up to two years to qualify new satellite systems and can cost up to $30 million

That's the breakthrough. A sat manufacturer does not have to design, build and qualify their own propulsion system, but can pick this off-the-shelf part from Epic Aerospace.

The equivalent in electronics would be switched power supply modules in the 80s. When they were new, a PC/TV/hifi/other high tech product design team would design their own switched power supply, spending engineering time on that. Ten years later, they would just pick one from a supplier catalogue, and spend a lot less time on just integrating it.
>__attribute__((const)) which tells it that the func accesses NOTHING but the params, not even global vars.

If you're actually not accessing any global state at all (including making no memory allocation), shouldn't the compiler figure that out anyway? That doesn't seem like something that would be very hard to check for.

I think thats deliberate - for most businesses, the cost of networking is directly proportional to how many customers you have, whereas the cost of compute isn't so tightly coupled. Startups really care about costs to get started, and aren't so worried about costs when they have a billion customers.

I believe you, but it's against the site guidelines to use HN primarily for political battle (which includes nationalistic arguments), and it seems you have been doing so exclusively. We ban accounts for that, not because we think they're insincere, but because political flames will take over the entire site if we let them, and there's a big difference between accounts that use HN this way and accounts that use HN as intended.

The way to fix this is to use HN as intended, which means posting on an diverse range of topics for reasons of intellectual curiosity. Would you please do that instead?

Talk to your accountant.

I would say, that for people wanting i.e. 3 day weekend, or 6 hour days, agreeing on the 4/5 or 3/4 salary is reasonably simple (I even managed to use this in my salary negotiation, where they offered me X$ for full time, and I managed to negotiate 85% X for 4/5 part-time)

The extra day/two hours are not as big of a difference in productivity anyway :)

I would say there is bigger difference in below 3/5 part-time, and in companies I have been at, there is assumption that people with less than 3/5 part-times are sort-of on extended trainig? I.e. summer project -> internship -> part-time -> full time progression was expected over ~2 years.

If you can, and your regulatory environment allows it, look for other means of employment.

You could help your new highers become self-employed and then have just an agreement for billable-hours, but you can easily break the regulations for social security payments this way.

In my country we have 'agreement about commisioned work', that is somewhere in the middle between being fully employed, and being self employed, but with some aditional constraints on maximum billable-hours per month? I don't remember, do consult your accountant responsible for payroll :-)
we got disillusioned after seeing how things worked out in American politics.

What parts of American politics disillusion you? And why do you think the USA should necessarily be the example? Do the criticisms you have of the USA also apply to other democracies, like the Democratic socialist countries in Europe? If not, why do you think they would constitute an effective argument against Democracy? "The USA has problems" is not an argument against Democracy.
This isn't an investigation into whether these companies are monopolies. This is an antitrust investigation. Are these companies being anti-competitive?

So take the e-reader market. Amazon was able to undercut everyone else on price by a wide margin. A question could be asked whether their breadth of business allowed them to sell at a loss for long enough to kill off competition. Maybe, or maybe not, but was that their intent? I'm not sure how much intent matters in these types of cases.

And I'm sure there's more here that could be perceived as anticompetitive. I'm just picking some obvious example of where an investigation might be useful.
AFAIU, you are correct, but apparently, "most flash devices" does not include MicroSD cards. At least that is how I remember it.

Hi, I'm the downvoter.

When I downvoted the post, the phrase "The end of capitalism is a matter of ideology for the author" wasn't there, or I just missed it entirely (in which case, my bad), so it looked to me like a simple ad-hominem with no rhyme or reason.

Now I see what the message meant, so I retracted the downvote. Next time I'll make sure to ask for clarification before hitting the down arrow.

As an aside, Mason can say whatever he wants, but every time I read him I get the distinct impression that while he may have some left-tinted idea, an a whole I wouldn't define him as "very left-wing". He looks more like a proponent of some sort of "humane capitalism".

> As Wikipedia points out "In another New Statesman article published the following year he (Mason) described himself as an "actual Marxist".

Not that it matters much, but I can't find it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Mason_(author) (I also checked if someone removed it today, but there's nothing in the article's history that removed that phrase).

You've switched topics. My question was about calling people hypocrites because they support the freedom of speech while criticizing speech you align with. I wonder if you see now why that doesn't make sense and why it implies a misunderstanding of what "freedom of speech" means.

It does not mean everyone likes everyone else's opinions. Just that we don't think governments should control what people say.
True, but we shouldn't celebrate brilliance when it's applied to do morally reprehensible things, like the OP was doing (intended or not).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like they are going to charge for ephemeral IP addresses as well, not just static ones. This means any VM which accesses an external service via IPV4, i.e. making a request to a transactional mail service, will now have to pay for this privilege even if ingress is via a load balancer.
Maybe, but how would we do that in a minimal way that would still be self-explanatory?
Notice very few Google employees commenting in this thread?

* IPv6 support
> I've never heard a sci-fi story mention gravitomagnetism.

Out of curiosity, what would you want from the story? Astronaut in mid-altitude polar orbit around Earth notices at the end of a few [...thousand...] years that the vacuum-freefalling fuzzy dice art piece in the cockpit finally shows a different face to the entry hatch? Spooky stuff! ;)

A low altitude polar orbit around a millisecond pulsar would certainly allow for plot twists (pardon the pun), but effects highlighted by the GEM formalism would be way down the list of post-Newtonian observables (and in any case you'd be far from the weak field limit in which the GEM formalism is reasonably reliable).

Rather than cast about in the GEM formalism for ideas when departing dramatically from a slow stable orbit around a rotating spherical body, you might be happier going down the Equivalence Principle route directly, thinking about a pseudo-gravitational field popping up in response to acceleration. Michael Weiss's text at the link might give you some ideas: http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/Twin...

The rough sketch based on that is that an astronaut bouncing around in his reentry capsule, absent any view of the interactions between the outside of the capsule and the atmosphere, is free to think of the pseudo-forces he feels (he and the capsule both want to keep freely falling, but the capsule keeps interacting with the atmosphere, jostling the capsule around his free-fall trajectory) as pseudo-gravitational, much like riders of a vomit comet, roller coaster, fast car making a sharp turn, etc. and their experiences of changing weight. (Weight in the "contact" sense: the quantities piezo-electric bathroom scales would report if slipped between human body parts and surfaces bolted/welded to the inside of the capsule/car/roller-coaster/vomit-comet, with those scales essentially quantifying the feelings arising from stimulation of their skins' various sensory receptors like Merkel nerve endings and Pacini corpuscles).

As a complete aside (I was thinking of dynamic neutral buoyancy for astronauts in your proposed situation, so fish came up), Kerbal probably doesn't simulate anything like the observations in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/k0bdu/would_fis... and really you should be able to send simulated octopus astronauts on missions!
How the Heartbleed Vulnerability Shaped OpenSSL as We Know It
I believe "serverless" in a way how it is used in this context means there is no top down full server starting from hardware all the way up to the OS available to you exclusively. Instead you just use services which you need for tasks you need. Think storage buckets for your files, lambda functions for your scripts, load balancers for your traffic etc. They do run on servers, but you never have access to the server itself.

I diddn't assume causation was implied. Your interpreter reads "." with a value of " because" while mine read "." with a value of " however". If we assume a single meaning value of "." then our two different outcomes (because,however) are mutually exclusive. They are not, however, collectively exhaustive. It may have been interpreted litaraly, as punctuation without prusumption of exclusitivity.
Just to add to your comment, Amazon Prime also doesn't make sense in countries with a fairly poor Amazon presence / high shipping costs. E.g. Canada.

70 years ago, the Dalai Lama was 14 years old. It's unlikely he ruled much. The Panchen Lama was 11. Unfortunately, he had reincarnated as two different people supported by different factions in Tibet. One of them allied themselves first with the Kuomintang and then with the Communist Party, which eventually helped them have their candidate be recognized officially by the Dalai Lama. When the Dalai Lama (now 23) fled to India in 1959, the Panchen Lama sided with the Chinese government instead and was made chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the Tibet Autonomous Region.

So on the one hand there was a lot of realpolitik in Tibetan theocracy; on the other hand the Chinese government had no qualms about continuing the system so long as it served their own purposes.

Alas, that's not how it works. Any video you could show of the laser experiment would also be faked. Even if you were to set them in front of the equipment, that'd be faked too. I often wonder as a thought-experiment what would happen if you bundled them onto a Musk style space tourism rocket and flew them to the moon to see the flag (for a bonus they can look back to see the spherical Earth) and then back, would they even then believe the conspiracy or their lyin' eyes?

(Then I catch myself on and realise it wouldn't even theoretically be worth wasting all that effort and money on someone so determined to be willfully ignorant. We live in a world where schoolkids can send a camera high enough to see the curvature of the Earth, yet we are to believe people who have made the denial of this a core of their identity do not see fit to replicate the experiment?)

I personally believe that people who bring functional programming into commercial settings are wrong to do so. There's a real trend lately to go "big" and "functional", but know that it causes actual business problems.

If I have to inherit code, I'd take (JavaScript|Rails|PHP|Python)+(MySQL|PostgreSQL) over (Scala|Haskell|F#|Lisp)+(MongoDB|Cassandra|Kafka) any day.

I understand that all of these tools have their uses, but the most important thing is ease of finding decent developers. Lots of people can do JavaScript well, but few can do Scala, so you're going to have a smaller pool of talent. More popular languages are also going to have more developed patterns, more native libraries, and better tooling options.

If you need Scala, please just write Java. You'll always be able to hire a Java dev. Everyone hates writing Java, but everyone can write Java.

And related, if you're using any kind of NoSQL for your business data, you're wrong. I understand NoSQL for caching and document storage, but not everything is a document. Most things are actually best in SQL tables. Especially if you're a startup.
This isn't true, doing good product placement or publishing accurate test results is also marketing but is not dishonest.

Granted, modern marketing is rarely applied this way so in practice almost all marketing is dishonest, but that's not what "by definition" means.

Arguably, using React where a static HTML with maybe a little bit of vanilla JS would do, is code golf.

HTML and CSS are not bytecode. They're high-level abstractions, hiding a very complex renderer underneath. Sometimes you need to build another tower of abstractions when this doesn't suffice - like when you're trying to build an application with complex GUI in the browser and you need an adapter between DOM and a more suitable GUI pattern. But displaying text and images communicating a message is not one of those cases.

Would be great if down vote is explained. As you probably know for sure by now [0] they do put massive resource into disinformation. Contrast with the "west" their PR statements don't have to be sound nor creditable, as long as it assembles a sentence that supports the party's stance they'll say it. Because a authoritarian government don't have to earn the trust of the people.

Now you have people truly believing those blatant lies, taking the same stance as the party and start spreading it, does it matter whether they truly believe it? Instead of politics, we're talking about basic human values here.

I do think letting disinformation pollute the stance itself naturally is the proper fix. Without that, do true believer of rather good character have he incentive to voice their concern, as one of the driving force to shape decision makers in the party? It's fixing the root cause, not the symptom. Such that disinformation, as a latest major threat to democracy works contrary to its intent thus stopped.
