> RMS is anal about meanings of terms and their use. That's not working well in the current climate where words carry perceived intent

That would be well and good, except that he's talking about terms like "sexual assault" which have well-defined legal terms that fit the case at hand.

Instead, he is re-defining legal terms in a way that don't fit the current actual intent of those terms.

I'd call it more similar to a computer system with multiple specialized processors working in parallel and limited buffers between them.

You should look at the later TA style games then. Supreme Commander and SpringRTS (open source!) based games have many innovations when it comes to managing your units. Check out Zero-K for a game that is I think one of the most advanced RTSes in terms of gameplay and controls. It's not looking too pretty by today's standards, but the inner values make up for it if you are willing to invest some time to learn.

She's not a politician as she's not standing in an election. If she was people could refuse to vote for her, as they usually do for Green politicians, and maybe that'd give her a reality check.

Yes that's my position, if we discard your pointless sarcasm. Obviously planes won't "magically" be ready - that's my entire point. It will take work, lots of work by lots of scientists and engineers. The best way to help them is become one of them.

The oil lobby as you put it is really the energy lobby and are one of the biggest investors in green energy. They are staying quiet, it's been a long time since I thought about firms like BP or Shell in relation to climate change. Additionally they have little actual power. They don't even have the power to set prices of their own product. The idea of Big Evil Oil Execs trying to destroy the world is a childish myth. Where is the titanic battle between the oil lobby and Tesla, for example? I don't see any evidence of such a battle. Tesla's big problem is their own spending levels, not being undermined by petrol companies.

Finally, yes Greta should keep her head down. Her net contribution so far has been negative. The solutions lie with science but she's been encouraging school children to go on "strike" i.e. refuse to take the maths and science lessons adults are giving them, the very lessons that would teach them how to contribute to the solutions.
One thing that I’ve been unable to wrap my head around is how to effectively calculate the right CPU share values for single threaded web-servers.

I’ve got a project using this setup, but it’s fairly common one l- e.g. Express with node clustering, Puma on Rails etc. On Kubernetes you obviously just forgo the clustering ability and let k8s handle the concurrency and routing for you.

So in this instance, I’m struggling to see why I wouldn’t request a value of 1vCPU for each process. My thinking is that my program is already single threaded, and asking the kubernetes CPU scheduler to spread resource between multiple single threaded processes is pure overhead. At that point I should allow each process to run to its full capacity. Is that correct?

This I feel gets a lot more complex now that my chosen language, DB drivers, and web framework is just starting to support multithreading. That’s a can of worms I can’t begin to figure out how to allocate for - 2vCPU’s each? Does anyone know?
> If we want to keep innovation moving along quickly, there needs to be incentives to publish your findings for everyone to review and build on.

There is more than plenty of open research in NNs. There is absolutely zero insights in these patents that is not already published.

I also find it a very weak argument in favor of patents. You can reverse-engineer anything, no need to read the filings

Depends on where you are coming from and what you need. Developer productivity is really high (real world experience). It has better defaults / builtins compared to flask (much faster to get to production quality). Faster to learn than Django / Django rest framework. My team has been using it for a couple of months now and it’s been really easy and fast to get an API up and running with api docs, data validation, middleware for auth and metrics, persistence, mix of async and sync functions and background jobs.
RTS as a genre has always favored aggressive play. Even in games that tried to favor defense, like SupCom, turtlers are stills not welcome, and higher level players start aggression quite early. Rarely will a rush downright end the game, but pulling one off correctly will generally put you ahead.

I don't think any RTS game will be able to deal with this naturally, only by adding rules like NR20 or even NR40 can you avoid early aggression and turtle in peace, and even then the winning strategy will always be to expand as aggressively as possible and to defend with units instead of static defenses.

But I found one drawback of using FastAPI - defining all inputs in handler function signature is looks bit complicated and verbose. I prefer one input with type that are structure of another types. Something like this:

@handler.post('/post')

I feel there must be a filter on Hacker News that allows us to hide all content behind paywalls. Or to block content from a certain domain from appearing on our feed. That will stop us from complaining. I don't live in the US and I am not about to subscribe to a US-based newspaper just to read one article per month. Telling us to just subscribe won't work. There are millions of newspapers around the world. We can't subscribe to all of them. Even to 10% of them.
Battle for Middle Earth 1 is definitely one of my favorite RTS, I love how the constraints on buildings played into the mecanics of the game (not a fan of the second one which was more classic).

By the way, if someone is still playing out there, the dwarf hold mod was a great extension to the base game :

Whenever these comparisons of brains and computers come up, I am reminded of Freud's comparison between the brain and the steam engine.

People think about the world (and brain in this case) in terms of what they are familiar with. Today computers are ubiquitous and we try to see computers in nature. In 100 years it will be something different and we'll try to imagine the brain like that.

Yes, they manged to carry over essential design elements into their land based setting: there are no stationary bases. You have a huge, unique carrier vehicle instead of a mothership. The harvesting mechanics are almost identical. The biggest difference really is the terrain. The game has an easier time shaping the challenges by making use of terrain. In space, breaking the uniformity of the map was more challenging and the original Homeworld series didn't do too well in that regard. Finding in-universe reasons to make space non-uniform is apparently hard. There are resource spots and regions which affected ship systems, but that's it.

> Healthcare quality is basically the same in all first-world countries

While this statement is correct, my understanding is that there are still small quality differences, and the US is in fact the word leader in quality. Thinking about it, this also makes sense – if you are willing to pay extreme amounts to doctors, you should also see at least some improvements in quality.

But we are talking something like <1% better quality for +100% the cost, so this is clearly not worth it. But if I was a billionaire with a difficult disease, I would definitely at least consider going to the US for treatment.
This is fair game, Yemen is being starved, regardless of age, or guilt.

Many places have only dealt with physical security at the ground level: fences, ID checkpoints, etc. Drones just bypassing everything by flying over have to force places to rethink that strategy.
They could be strung up as combined they do not have enough marketing power as a strong populist political party. Unfortunately, as we've seen, the closest USA has for this is Trump, who is playing the Republican playbook.

Both parties are economically right wing. Third party is easily squished by tribalism and system being unbalanced.

"Do you think spacex is launching space internet satellites built by people who have plenty of time for their hobbies?"

SpaceX is not revolutionary, it is evolutionary, as rocket's discipline was already well known when they started. You know who was revolutionary with rockets?

This man:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun

As a child, he was playing with friends launching rockets(and burning crop fields when they failed), actually as a hobby. I call hobby studding something freely just for the sake of it.

Hoover dam is a terrible example, because almost 100 people died building it, and it should not be necessary killing people for building things like a dam, it is actually much better building things without casualties, the project runs smoothier and faster. And it is a known discipline that Romans already did 2000 years ago.

Cinema, in the words of the Lumiere brothers was just a hobby with no real monetary value.

Most of Newton time was studying freely esotericism and alchemy. Most of it gave nothing to the world, like philosophy, it was done for the sake of it(science and all sciences come from it, so a very small portion of it paid off).

Mr Boole spent enormous amount of time trying to prove the existence of God, and invented Boole algebra as a result. It was of no practical use until more than one century later.

The neuron was discovered because of the photography hobby of Ramón y Cajal, staining cells so you can see it.

Most of the greatest discoveries in things like Mathematics were done by outsiders, like lawyers that were only interested on a very narrow part of it. And it was a hobby.

Google is not the only company who accumulated a patent portfolio to be used defensively. If they start suing people they can expect to be sued back. It would also potentially ruin Google's relationship with other companies who would be reluctant to work with them if it could lead to a chance to be sued: e.g. If you sell some technology to Google to use they can discover that it has something that looks like something that they patented, which is enough grounds to sue you. This is too much risk for companies who don't have the money to mount a legal defense, even if they don't actually violate any patents.

The current state is sort of a patent cold war where both sides have weapons but they don't use them. So we get the advantages of patents (disclosure) without many of the potential disadvantages.
There isn't much to defend against a drone dropping a thermite charge or other bomblet on a facility - if the drone flies high enough even ordinary firearms or EMP/jammer weapons don't work any more.
To me it looks like this tool (and cloudflair.py) can only ever find servers which are configured in a very specific way:

* The traffic between server and CDN is encrypted using a valid certificate

* The server's firewall is not properly configured

Apparently there are indeed servers with this configuration, but I just find it odd how someone would go through the trouble of setting up HTTPS (instead of terminating it at the CDN) and then not bother to block traffic from anywhere but the CDN.

There is a similar phenomenon inside catholicism with Opus Dei, which teaches that anyone can become a saint through labor, which is akin to prayer. Its numerary members forgo family and independency and devote themselves to just work (similar to a modern monk, but without exiting society).

Interestingly, the result is that you end up with an organization full of people with successful careers, including positions of power. As they are also quite secretive, this generates colourful conspiracy theories.

A common source for microplastic is the abration of synthetic textiles and rubber. So unless you only wear unmixed nature fibre and walk in straw sandals you have to assume that you might also produce microplastic even if you never drive a car, take a bus or anything with wheels not made of steel or wood.

This is why we need to deal with the issue as a society, instead of blaming it onto individuals. We did precisely that for decades now and it doesn’t seem to work.

Some of my highest rated comments were for Apple's recent failures. Their laptops shipped with an unworkable keyboard. New product lines were confusing. The existence of the MacBook alongside the MacBook Air defied logic. Their "pro" machines were no longer pro. The list went on.

Apple has changed some of that, but even if they don't, my next laptop will still be a Mac.

Because Apple doesn't install shit on my machine. Apple fixes security holes. Apple doesn't cheat me on my privacy when I buy a machine.

Rats are very good at spatial perception, orientation, and manipulation. I have seen them rival really smart dogs in that respect. They certainly also know how to look at the actions of others (humans, rats, whatever) and model their own behavior accordingly.

So this would be right up their alley, and I'm sure everybody's had marvellous fun, another thing of which rats are eminently capable.

Plainly false, read my comment (search for ssijak on the page) in this thread about b12, k2, vit D and dha so I dont repeat myself.

Regarding cholesterol, why would I need any additional cholesterol? Liver and cells make enough for what the body needs. Choline RDA is questionable and European food agencies are lowering RDA for Choline. But anyhow when I track my food intake through apps like Cronometer I consume RDA levels of choline from plants only.

As for the Retinol/Beta carotene, RDA for retinol is about 3000IU/day, just one sweet potato has about 30 000IU of beta carotene, so even with a low conversion rate it is very easy to go over RDA for Retinol.

Calcium is abundand in whole food plant based diets too. And osteoporosis is not a simple issue as the amount of calcium, D and K2 vitamins are very important for this issue too, for example Japanese vegan woman who eat Natto (k2) and low (what is concidered low) calcium do not have problem with osteoporosis.

Point is that you can have crap diet being vegan or not but you can also have very healthy one if you are smart with the food.
And again, if vegans miss on some very essential nutrient (except maybe b12 which should be suplemented), why are vegan populations living longer on average?
>It's that it breaks down isolation barriers in the real world which used to passively defend against the spread of all sorts of unrelated corruption

You've just put into words the loosely formed thought that's been trying to escape my brain. Nature has a mechanism for limiting the positive feedback effect of new corruption forces: geographic isolation. It's as fundamental to diversity as evolution. Think e.g. the species that survive on the Galapagos islands that would otherwise have been wiped out.

The internet has no circuit breaker; no way to attenuate positive feedback cycles amplifying a signal (whatever that signal might be).

I'm no economist, but it seems to me that free market economics has the same weakness: unfettered amplification without counterbalancing isolation removes diversity. And leads to the small number of dominant monopolies in given industry sectors. FANMAG[0] in the tech sector being just the latest example.

That's probably also why we shouldn't be hopeful about the author's proposal as it's likely to end in one of two results:

1. A failure
2. A new monopoly

The idea of a "network of networks" is intuitively appealing at first sight, but it's difficult to see how that serves society well if one company runs them all. Another reason, perhaps, to treat the underlying network as a utility.
