Cat and mouse indeed, but here we see that a GPS spoof can be detected and spoofs can be made more and more difficult to accomplish.

It will get down to a game of knowing the satellites better and better, in terms of their clocks, orbits, and drifts in those parameters. With the increasing precision of augmentation, spoofers will be hard pressed to keep up and precisely mimic more parameters.
But they do have other funds. It's simply they want to keep their money in higher return fund and other people's money in the bigger, lower return fund.
SPIR-V with full web safety rules and translation to native shader formats is not really simpler to implement than WSL with those same properties. People make these claims but the code doesn’t best that out.

There’s also a good chance that in the end the shader processing will be in a common library like ANGLE.

With GLAL the issues were much more about the drivers consuming a textual language than about the browser consuming a textual language.

It’s a convenient place to publish the odd posting or two. I’ve also found that there’s some (unwarranted) perceived credibility plus it can be a good place to link that’s not mixed in with random personal stuff.

I use it for professional stuff that needs to be linked to but which isn’t on an official blog property of some sort.

I do keep a personal blog but sometimes cross-post to Medium.
three.js does shader generation at runtime and I expect they don’t want to significantly increase their download size by adding a compiler, so a text-based language is likely better for frameworks like that. The calculus may be different for a game engine like Unity. In that case there is already an offline tool chain involved.

Well, one reason people don't become medical tourists are concerns about quality. Americans in particular are still convinced, despite ample evidence to the contrary, that our medical system is the highest quality in the world - and that this justifies the costs.

I believe this is false. Healthcare quality is basically the same in all first-world countries, the only difference is cost structure. (My wife had a c-section in Germany and our total cost was about 100 euros for an optional private room.)

As a German, this whole thread reads entirely bizarre. The US health system is the blind spot of the nation. The kind of fuckery you people have to endure every day and the kind of thought processes it requires, is astonishing.

As a German, you don’t have to spend any brain cycles on health insurance or medical costs. If you’re self-employed, you maybe need to think about getting private insurance. Besides that: health care is just there for you. You don’t have to pay almost anything from your own pocket (besides glasses and some depending on the age).

The financial aspects usually can’t ruin you. Prices are "normal". I had a US friend over a while back. She had a tooth ache. The dentist fixed it and the bill was like 180 bucks or so. She couldn’t believe how cheap it was compared to the US. And this wasn’t some shitty job with inferior materials or whatever.
What a ridiculous idea! How did the US come up with that?

That kind of Ruby is pretty different from the Ruby one use to write applications like Rails. For example, after 14 years of Ruby I have no idea of what $F is. I have to google it, and I did at least 10 years of Perl before that.

I use Ruby for text processing now, because it's easier to read than Perl, but I loop on stdin with IO.readlines, each and split. It could be less efficient but I'm not parsing billions of records. I value readability more than one liners.

My take was that the mistake was using a myriad of low resource nodes to run deployments that required an increasing amount of computational resources to run without problems. This led to launching more nodes to accommodate peaks which then just stayed idling.

The Kubernetes cluster was configured with horizontal pod autoscaling and cluster autoscaling, and to avoid problems the cpu limits were set to 0.5cpu. The end result was Kubernetes creating a myriad of nodes running 70% idle to accommodate the result of the cluster's autoscaling policy because a 1vCPU node does not have much headroom to accommodate peaks. For example, if you have 3 or 4 pods with 500m cpu limit running on a single vCPU node and it so happens that two peak at the same time, resource limits will be hit and cluster scaling will kick in to create yet another node just to meet that demand. In practice this mean that for each and every 1vCPU node to accommodate the peak demand of a single pod without kicking in cluster autoscaling, it needs to run at most at 50% idle.

This problem is mitigated by replacing 1vCPU nodes with higher vCPU count (the author switched to nodes with 16 vCPUs) because they have enough resources to scale up deployments without having to launch new nodes.

I wish they would publish the cost assumptions. To get to this amount, it must include the value of parents time with some twisted assumptions like “I bill $1000/hour, I read to my child for an hour every evening. 18x365x1000 is me investing $6.5M right there.”
I mean maybe I’m wrong here, I’m probably wrong, but 99% of people don’t know nor care about the difference between an EV certificate and a Will Issue certificate like Let’s Encrypt.

Is it really worth revoking these over tiny discrepancies, especially in cases where you can still determine the entity beyond a doubt?
Agreed. Although kubelet itself is not too terrible, all the other stuff you need to run alongside it (the "etc" part of your post) is what costs you. Network provider, per host monitoring, reserved resources per host, just to name a few.

Constantly adding and removing hosts can also negatively affect e.g. network provider, depending on which you use. In my experience, Weave worked significantly worse than something "simpler" like flannel when combined with frequent auto scaling.

I have shares I havent traded in a while, if I go on to my account I will be shown the latest price along with a profit or loss. That latest price is based on what the last person actually paid, that's the only thing that makes it special. But don't forget that theres 2 sides to the market, it's the last price someone agreed to sell at, because that's what we are talking about, the crossover where buyers match sellers.

Now if I decided to sell my shares based on that, would I be guaranteed to also get that price? No, there could be a flash crash, there could be results just announced, there could be any number of reasons to make the stock go up or down, or more precisely attract or scare away investors. In general though I would expect to get a figure close to the price that I saw, because theres not much that can fundamentally change in the few minutes between trades. On a stock that hasn't been traded in a year, the only thing that really changes is the error bar, the price isn't going to be within 0.1% of the last one, it's going to be within 100% or something.

Having someone actually pay money for something really is the acid test. I can slap a price tag on something, but if no one buys it than is it really worth that? We can sit around coming to more or less reasonable valuations, but ultimately if Wework floats and trades at $100bn valuation, then no amount of armchair opinioneering is going to change that, people are putting their money where their mouth is, and as I seem to mention on every stock market thread, the best thing about the stock market is you can put your money where your mouth is.

In a sense, it's an alternate form of Proof-of-Stake. As Section 8.4 explains, the conventional wisdom is that Proof-of-Stake's flaw is that it's circular. We've proved that actually it's not circular enough, i.e., the stakes it assigns are different than the stakes in society's existing monetary game.

Proof-of-Balance allows "stakes" (what we call "weight") to be issued in proportion to monetary balances. Once those stakes are in users' hands, the protocol can run using the algorithms designed for PoS, including all of their reward and governance mechanisms.

It turns out that to fully unleash the power of those algorithms, you need a verifiably secure stake-distribution mechanism. That's what we've invented. (It's harder than it sounds, of course...)
Let's encrypt has developers empowered to just get https done in a couple of minutes. This includes the time it takes to search for certbot syntax on stack overflow.

Years ago the certificate was a big deal in project specifications, project managers could lay out the FUD and trick clients into spending more money on more snake oil. This was a pain for developers as they would have to get the work done. Sometimes the client would not have access to the one or two email boxes needed for this archaic system so there would be an added hurdle of setting up info@example.com or whatever it was that was needed to get EV to happen.

Nobody misses those days and the pain and hassle just was not worth it. Certbot came along and made it so easy. Nobody questioned why they needed EV certificates, sometimes you cannot argue with free and easy.

> top level await doesn't make async operations synchronous

No, it just lets us write them like they look in synchronous languages.

So we're jumping through even more hoops to avoid the realities of asynchronous JS. IMO it's better for the asynchrony to be explicit. A whole generation of frontend devs aren't going to have any idea how their code is actually running.
I hope this once and for all puts the nail in the coffin of the hand-wavy "we'll collect info that is super valuable to someone else and sell it to them" business model. Sure, if you can collect enough of it cheaply enough and sell it cheaply enough to someone that can monetize it directly (e.g. selling demographics info to ad networks for targeting) you might make it. But if you're collecting this info at any sort of significant cost, then you have to be able to monetize it yourself. Otherwise the 'purchaser' will just gladly tell you in meetings how much they'll pay for the data, when in reality it's just a super low risk way for them to see if this data holds any value for them - if it does, they'll figure out their own way of collecting it and cut you out of the equation. And more likely, it'll turn out not to be valuable (or it'll turn out their organization isn't capable of acting on it) and they'll just back out again.

> browsers don't want to display them differently, and users don't notice them being any different.

That's the only thing that matters, really.

The selling point of EV certificates is that (1) they are very visible in the browser and (2) users care enough about that to make a difference to your business.

I haven't seen any surveys or A/B testing results about (2) but since (1) is no longer true this is moot.

It means you should just go for the cheapest certificate, which means free nowadays.

You could say the same thing about software engineering. The vast majority of it is simply assembling components that already exist. I've worked on dozens if not hundreds of web apps, and most of it is just gluing stuff together. Often it's done on autopilot (or literally automated code generation). I've also worked on a lot of code that was original and challenging. Systems work is the same thing. Most of the time you're just assembling existing components, but the overall design of the system is absolutely engineering.
