I have no pity for MongoDB, they chose to license their stuff open source. Which means they should have no problem with people profiting from their work, that's the spirit of FOSS.

Of course, this is just one of the many so called "open source" companies that chose open source because they thought it would get them more users but in reality don't care much about FOSS.

To be honest, witness testimony should never be or have been the sole basis for convictions. Peoples’ memory is so fraught with error that it’s basically useless on its own merits.
AFAIK the wifi problem (in the case of the device I looked at, that manifested as constant wifi drops unless the laptop was plugged in (frequent enough to make it essentially unusable)) is just sort of a ...thing that one particular model of defective Wi-Fi card will do. IIRC it's a Realtek card.

It seems like a software or driver problem, but no software fix seemed to work. Only replacement with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079QH5KW1/ solved the issue.
Relational/SQL databases still follow the same fundamental data model and query language, despite the differences in SQL syntax. I will argue migration is still easier. Just avoid stored procedures which complex logic, since these are essentially proprietary programming languages.
Both projects are a different C++ logger implementations. The first commit of both repositories is unrelated. If I wanted to benchmark both name clashes are likely to happen.

No they don't. Case in point, I live off grid with a 24v system composed of 2v lead acid marine batteries. They were 2 years old when I got them and have put them through over 1000 days of use since.

Mind you, I don't discharge the system past 23.5v ever, and I check my electrolyte levels weekly adding distilled water as needed, but lead acid are cheap, effective, long lasting, and recyclable with minimal effort. The only thing against them is maintenance, and they are big and heavy. My house doesn't seem to care.

There are a lot of people who praise ThinkPads online, and that seems to gesture into good will in general for Lenovo. Unfortunately a lot of their cheaper computers are just trash. Even in the ThinkPad line they have now introduced the A, L and E series that are more "affordable", but in reality they cut a lot of corners that make the X, T and P series good.

The site is suffering from Hacker News' hug-of-death. But it looks like it was a genuine rant about a piss poor customer experience. I have had issues with the Yoga too before where the display hinge malfunctioned but I had a much better experience with Lenovo support. They replaced it for free even though it was outside the warranty window (albeit by only a month). To each his/her own. Recommending people to never buy a Yoga is probably a tad bit too extreme.
TL;DR : The audio speakers blows up just after warranty expires. Click-bait title, not a safety hazard.

Huh, that's interesting. I once worked for a laptop manufacturer, and the inverse problem (wifi only working when on battery) happened there -- it was an issue of high frequency electronic shielding off the power supplies. Something about how the modern auto-layout PCB software the ODM wanted to use had no way to take shielding issues into account and would want to lay traces in routes that an electrical engineer would never even consider.

I can't think how the inverse problem would happen, though. Maybe it's software indeed.
Out of curiosity, how do you offset?
The solution is quite simple. Just require every company and person that emits co2 to pay for scrubbing it and let the market solve the problem efficiently. The only issue is getting everybody to agree to clean after themselves which practically guarantees this doesn't get solved until we are about to suffocate.

My post wasn't very coherent in hindsight, but I intended to more explicitly suggest that I predict that at some point we will replace / augment supervised training for abstract reasoning tasks with "unsupervised" feedback from provers or verifiers (which can objectively verify if a conclusion makes sense). From the perspective of the neural network it is supervised by the prover or verifier software, but from the perspective of us humans we don't choose when a proof checks out or not in a formal system, mathematics does.

EDIT: if you are into ML and like this idea, certainly check out MetaMath, the book is very accessible, and the author (Norman Megill) is extremely friendly and helpful. It takes perhaps a few days to a week to learn, study, and reimplement the verifier. One does not at all need to actually study the whole of the set.mm database (i.e. all the theorems and proofs) to implement the snap to makes sense I propose above. It simultaneously gets rid of the expensive labeling for correct vs incorrect proofs on one hand, and is a path to self-explaining AI on the other. I can not at all exclude that "soon" AI will be proving math conjectures faster than humanity can conjure them. That would be quite an interesting world! At first it would be trained on generating proofs for propositional logic statements (the challenges could be generated by a prover doing a "random walk"), then first-order logic / set theory / numbers.
How is that similar? In the Lenovo case, it's a transistor that's failing, and it doesn't sound like there's any immediate danger from it, whereas the Apple laptop batteries are literally catching fire.

Yes, both are design defects, but that's the only thing these issues have in common.

The thing is they went from Windows on spinning rust to Linux on an SSD.

* Modern windows has a really hard time on spinning rust, they'd have seen extreme performance improvements going to windows on an SSD

* Linux deals better with spinning rust, they'd have seen performance improvements going to linux on spinning rust

The SSD is still going to be most of the performance improvements. The gap between a 5400 HDD and an SSD (even more so NVMe) is just ridiculous on every single metric, there's orders of magnitude differences in throughput (especially on random reads or writes) and even more so latency and concurrency.

Pumped hydro storage is great. The difference between it and batteries is that batteries can be constructed off site by a third party and then transported to your location.

Water towers have to be built on site, which can be difficult. Not to mention, to get appreciable storage, you have to build a really tall tower or a really big one. This is difficult too. Especially if you are in a location where the soil shifts or you get high winds. Because now your tower has to survive the elements.

There is definitely a strong case against water towers for distributed energy storage.

> Those lines will be crossed by just visiting a country that has different interpretations of what's acceptable to do.

To some extent. For instance, I know of no country that allows you to drive while intoxicated (modulo varying minimums) while having enough car and population density for such driving to be a problem.

You're probably thinking of China and their laxer approach towards human genetic research. But that's arguably just having lines that shall not be crossed and staying on the good side of them; US and Europe seem to have decided instead to ban the whole field.
They WON'T have regulations or treaties though - not any that mean a damn, anyway. Putting aside the obvious issues of doing this against someone's will, let's have a quick look at some extremes that could be done with someone's full consent:

What if someone WANTED a memory implanted of raping someone, so they could get off to it? The consensual BDSM sphere is huge. Obviously pedophilic false memories would be outlawed immediately, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't exist.

What if someone wanted to self-identify as a robot, or a sex slave, or just plain simple property. Could they have elective surgery for blank-memory-removal to assist with their transition?

Say we went nope, full blanket-banning of the technology as a whole, it's just too legally messy to allow. What if someone has experienced severe emotional trauma from real-life events, and needs them dulled or removed to function in society? It instantly becomes a politically-charged pro-life/pro-choice ticket issue that gets carted out every time the government wants to make some noise.

What if someone is the victim of such a procedure (done illegally) - is it okay to have some governmental arm "anti-hack" their brain.

Also, <insert the whole plot of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind>. Also, <insert plots of various Ghost In the Shell TV series>.

If the technology ever genuinely bears fruit, then only two things are certain to happen: it will be used illegally, and it will be used by governments in secret. Sometimes both of these at once :-)

Prior to this, Google also successfully patented dropout layers, is that right? This being the case, what's the implication for hobbyists (like myself), businesses and researchers, etc? It's hard to imagine not being able to use such an abstract concept in your code, for fear of litigation.

The problem with having "opinions" about reality is that reality doesn't care what your opinion is, at all. If you actually formalized your idea that black holes create space, I'm fairly certain you'd find out that it's not a good description of reality.

I wish we could set this threshold in the app. I'm happy to spend an extra 2 minutes on the freeway if it's a lighter cognitive load. Hell, if I'm on my way to work I might accept an extra 10-15 minutes. But, if I'm running late for a flight then I'm going to dial it up to save every minute possible.
"and that can be removed and used as a building material for a new house."

I'm all for building wooden houses. But I can also imagine the amount of work (=> energy consumption) needed to convert theses trees we need to plant to "offset emissions" as new houses.

Transport the workers, feed the machines to chop the trees, the machines to transport the wood, to run the lumber-mill, to transport to the construction site etc. Unfortunately for now we still have: feeding machines => energy consumption => emissions

We can argue that this energy would have been needed anyway to build new houses. However I find it dangerous to couple a carbon reduction strategy to a substantial amount of an activity involving machines (construction). Are we going to need the amount of houses at the scale of the amount of trees we need to plant? In all parts of the world concerned (we don't want to move trees across the world anymore..)?

The article places Nvshu in a very similar social role to Hiragana in its early days. I'm referring more specifically to texts completely written in Nvshu and texts completely written in Hiragana.

It's likely that in the milleu of Japan at that time, as when Nvshu flourished, the prevailing thought was that only Classical Chinese deserved to be written, and the local tongue did not deserve to be put to script.

The Wikipedia article on Nvshu cites Chiang (1995) that this is the only known script for Xiangnan Tuhua. It's thus "only for women" in the same sense that Nvshu is only for women; many men had access to it, but none wrote literature completely in it.

I'm not dead against batteries, we've got an off grid cabin that runs on 4 6v Trojan lead acid batteries and they are great.

However there's something about living off grid that makes one want to simplify, and batteries are one of the big, expensive, and limited life time components of a solar system. If you can reduce the load on, and the required capacity of your battery bank, then you have improved reliability significantly.

As you say, pumped hydro is certainly a great storage system if the situation permits. It just takes a very large storage system to store as much as batteries. If you have a pond or lake and an easy supply of water it would certainly be my choice.

Transport for London Tech Lead here.

In London, we have been collaborating with google waze - we provide them with information at the local level. Streets that waze should not use for route finding (e.g. roads with schools) can be blocked for use by Waze. Both local councils and TfL can provide this data.

The main difference between Waze and Google Maps is that Waze uses real time traffic data. There are multiple map providers that do this in London. There is a plan to provide different data to different TfL data consumers in the future to try and get map providers to seperate traffic across roads (at the cost of surrendering absolute truth).

London is also host to discussions of taxing roads - this is unsurprising when the roads are mostly paid for by the cost of the London Underground (LU makes the majority of public transport money, but 80% of revenue goes into road, traffic and bus management). The London Assembly (who supposedly keep the London mayor accountable) have written a paper "London Stalling" to suggest road taxing related to mileage across London. This, they no doubt expect, will cut down the traffic. However, from my understanding of embellished models of Braess' paradox, this will only result in similar traffic (on maybe slightly different roads) with an optimum equilibrium between how good a route is and what the cost of it is - meaning people may just take longer to commute and pay more tax.

We live in the world where we can see a bait and switch for what it is.

MongoDB was advertised as being Open Source and Free Software, distributed under an OSI-compliant and FSF-compliant license. Now they are trying to eat their cake and have it too.

> "then are lambasted when they try to prevent a competitor from copying it wholesale?"

Because that's not what open source is about. Open source is about contributing to the commons, such that your competitors can make a profit from your work.

If your competitors aren't able to do that, then the software is not open source. Period. And in this case, we should point out that MongoDB Inc by owning the copyright doesn't have to play by the same rules, they aren't beholden to the same rules as everyone else.

> "If MongoDB Inc can't compete in the enterprise cloud market simply because they are not AWS (as mentioned by threeseed), what should their business model be?"

Why the fuck should we care what their business model would be? That's for them to figure out.

But if they sell something as open source and they close source it, then we, the schmucks that bought into it, will point out that MongoDB is no longer open source and treat it as a proprietary piece that comes with the caveats of proprietary software, like lock in, etc.

So I hope somebody forks MongoDB from the version when it was open source.
