My theory is that these are old autonomous probes that are part of a system designed to prevent any civilization from developing technology which would threaten the origin.

It’s a relatively inductive thing to assume that if humans get past any great filters we will look upwards for external existential threats by those other civilizations which do not get through, and whose failure may be due to development of tech which could harm us. A fair countermeasure would be to deploy autonomous probes that slowly blanket the galaxy and monitor and destroy threats. It would genuinely surprise me if we are here in 100 years that we wouldn’t have created and deployed such technology as a way to protect our ancestors future from external threats. This only makes sense once all major x-risk is paid down due to manmade technology and natural threats, but once so it seems inevitable this is the next thing our civilization will seek to protect against.

My suspicion is that these are real, are inaccessible to us, and always will be, at least until we get close to any kind of galaxy-level x-risk technology like AGI. At which point, we will either be wiped out or will be warned.

It’s actually quite a boring explanation since it doesn’t require too many leaps of logic, doesn’t break any laws of physics, and leaves us potentially alone in the present day universe (the origin of these may be long gone.)
In "Debt" by John Graeber, I was astonished to learn that currency was invented more than 2000 years after money. It was a military logistics invention: soldiers were issued coins, and taxes collected in coins, so that to be able to pay taxes, the governed had to meet the material needs or other wants of soldiers.

The metal value of the coins only mattered for trade with foreigners.
Can it be installed, yet?
Nah in the intro they explain all the parts of the display unit and one of those was the state of tracked objects between these 2 modes. So the pilot checked the heat from each object using 2 different sensors (BLK & WHT) and both returned cold. Weird.
Yeah I intentionally bought a dumb TV instead of a smart TV five years ago... recently started thinking about whether it might be interesting to upgrade to a 4k and/or OLED model before discovering that they’re ALL smart.

The subject would still be blinded though. You could tell them after the fact. Then you get the real experience of a pilot encountering your system plus you get the added benefit that they won't tell people about the "UFO" they saw.

The problem with that is assuming the new design is terrible for everyone. It very well could be that the majority do like it, and it's a vocal minority that complain.
I’m not sure what this would look like exactly or how plausible this is but I can’t discount that from my perspective as an eyewitness.
Congrats! You have invented the Instagram feed.
Yes, because if you are unable to explain such phenomena, then surely it must be technological!
I would be a bit upset that they were hoarding technology the public sector could use.

There are of course certain structures you can use to ease the selection of the relationships you want to follow, and Neo4j does use some of its own, breaking down relationships on a node first by type, and then by incoming or outgoing, allowing a quick selection of relevant relationships to follow depending on what's desired.

Whether additional structures are used at this level or not, the point of index-free adjacency is you do not need to utilize an index at the table/label level. The cost of performing each expansion is not dependent upon the total number of relationships or nodes in the graph, as it would be for table joins. You are only ever considering the relationships on each specific node at a time as you traverse.

Seems to me as long as you have that then you've got (table) index-free adjacency.
I had access to a Novix eval system (like a shoebox with a 5 1/4 floppy in the side) at the time and for a lot of things it was _very_ fast - on a par with a VAX 8600 as I remember.

My memories of FORTH are really good too, especially after writing PostScript (FORTH enough) printer drivers that were downloaded printer programs. They turned further downloaded lists of nodes into properly placed topological diagrams and printed them out.
You appear to be remembering Google publishing their 2001 search index that was briefly available in October 2008: https://www.cnet.com/news/who-were-you-in-2001-check-googles...

This is great! In my case, only reason for choosing Redis over Memcached was persisting to disk. With memcached being multi-threaded compared to Redis being single-threaded, I see a big win in simple use-cases for Memcached.
Nope, it's a completely separate site, you would have to create a new account and move funds over.

Only for iPhones. Androids tether normally. It's due to agreements between Google and the carriers. I was able to tether with an iPhone in Costa Rica, but I've been to 20+ countries with it and it's been only one or two countries where it worked.
We'll see. Meanwhile, the old design is still available and not burdened with lots of trackers.
"Both Neumanns could be impulsive at times, former executives say. Ms. Neumann has ordered multiple employees fired after meeting them for just minutes, telling staff she didn’t like their energy. She and Mr. Neumann have sent maintenance and IT staff to their homes to fix various items."

This really bothers me. I know that if I was at WeWork I would probably be fired for "bad energy" because it would be obvious that I was just working at a job and not part of the WeWork cult.
Banks normally don't actually transfer any money. There's a funny story from the 1920s of the Bank of England pushing money across the vault floor to indicate a transfer to France, who held an account with them. The money doesn't actually go anywhere, it just says so on the balance sheet. If someone "steals" 1 billion dollars by making the system think they took it, someone will eventually notice, then they'll send somebody down to the vault to push it back to the other side.

Bitcoin is very different: when the bitcoin blockchain says someone else has your money, they have it. Imagine someone had heard that Ethereum had suffered no major attacks on exchanges, but hadn't heard of the DAO attack. They must think that Ethereum is extremely secure. Actually, Ethereum is very insecure, but a large enough target will get special treatment. Bitcoin doesn't have the same tendency as Ethereum (and real life) towards hard forks, so of course it will have more attacks on it. But this doesn't imply that anyone will hard fork when you get hacked, nor will the banks necessarily reverse the transaction when someone guesses your password.
Adopting an antagonistic stance towards American telecoms is a patriotic duty of all functional Americans.
Both of your examples made sense to me, but when you take a step back that sentence doesn't really mean anything without context.

A "resource" === "endpoint" in the sense that the endpoint defines where you can define the configuration of a specific resource. They are being specifically vague I am assuming because of the concept of CRDs.

But without that sort of knowledge ("Hey, Kubernetes has a customizable API using custom resources!"), that sentence is rather hard to unpack.

edit: Thinking about it some more I suppose an endpoint is an overloaded term w.r.t. Pod IPs.
I'd like to point out that at the 256kbps throttle, you can actually only download about 80GB of data in a month. Add on the 22 GB pre throttling, and you get just over 100GB/mo hard cap. Really doesn't sounds like "unlimited" to me.
> And there are many types of slavery that are not chattel slavery.

Exactly! The sort of slavery being referenced here is "wage slavery," and it derives straight from Cicero's line of thinking. The idea here is that the vast majority of humans in a developed economy need to work. In particular, people without the resources to start a business themselves have to work for someone else. Although there is theoretically a choice of employers (there may not in fact be due to locality of the labor market), one nonetheless has to work for someone else, selling their time. If one wants to survive, one is not free to leave one's job.

This lack of freedom is the essential notion of wage slavery. That some wage slaves are better off than others is irrelevant: house slaves in the American South were often treated better and had better working conditions than field hands, but they were still slaves.

Thanks for the explanation. I meant it mostly facetiously, but my more serious point is that there are some parts of some languages (and APIs and tools and architectures) where the answer you get from experienced practitioners is "think harder". It's not that I can't grok it, it's that it takes more effort than it should given how much the concept comes up, and the more I wrestle with my tools, the less I potentially get done.

C++ rvalue references are a great example. Whenever I see them I have to go back and relearn the concept because accounting for the language feature sometimes feels more complicated to get right than the unsafe pointer chucking it replaced.
AT&T Explores Parting Ways with DirecTV
I worked on that.

It sends audio and/or video fingerprints (not frames, for privacy and bandwidth reasons), which are matched against a fingerprint database. Whatever people see on TV is usually 10 to 60 seconds behind the real live stream at the broadcaster (which is where the reference fingerprinting happens). GeoIP data can be used to roughly deduce where the TV is located, in order to better filter out false positives out of multiple matches (e.g. in the US where lots of programming on east/west side is just shifted by ~3 hours due to time difference).

I'm not spreading FUD; I am correcting misinformation from muppets whose understanding doesn't go beyond press releases. Nobody has yet done a Shor factorization of the number 15; the end, and even if someone's press release says so there is no scalable way of factoring large integers.
> Since the 2016 US election, as fears about the power of fake news have intensified, the archive has stepped up its efforts to combat misinformation.

I hate language like this. I mean, propaganda is not a new thing. And opinions about "misinformation" are extremely subjective. It's not at all uncommon for mainstream media to reflect mainstream biases. Or even biases of governments in power, media owners, etc.

For example, when I first heard of the NSA's Enigma program, mainstream media (if it even mentioned it) discounted it as "conspiracy theory". Or the CIA's Mk Ultra project.

> At a time when false and ultra-partisan content is rapidly created and spread, and social media pages are constantly updated, the importance of having an unalterable record of who said what, when has been magnified.

This I agree with. But access should not be restricted.

I might’ve just misunderstand that paragraph. I’d assume with $snapshot_timestamp, current time, and TTLs, time wouldn’t be an issue (and of course, don’t futz with system time while memcached isn’t running).

> I can’t imagine the kind of shitshow it must be internally.

In real life, nobody cares, they aren't important, normal people react with "nobody cares". My own reaction as a reddit user and commenter was....well who gives a shit? I'll go do another thing such as reading a book.

Rreddit is just a honeypot for shitposters (possibly a good thing for the rest of the internet).

I'm in my 50's and hung out on a plethora of (what are to be honest mostly moronic) "boards"...slashdot, digg, reddit etc. When they go away for a few hours or days this doesn't black out my life.

If your social life hinges on the availability of Reddit, Facebook et al then I kinda feel you have deeper issues. Especially when you don't pay for this service.
CRD is Custom Resource Definition
> I don't know about California, but in Washington state when you register a car that was previously registered in another state, you have to provide proof that you paid sales tax on it, and you have to pay a use tax if you can't do that

...and if you DID pay sales tax on it, but the rate is lower than the Washington use tax, you have to pay the difference.

Funny story about this. My Constitutional Law professor at the University of Washington School of Law had been at or near the top of his class at Harvard or Yale or whichever top law school he went to, then clerked at the Supreme Court. So he was pretty well versed in Constitutional law.

Then he accepted the position at UW, hoped into his newly purchased car, and headed cross country to Seattle. Washington's sales/use tax was considerably higher than that of whatever state he came from...and when he was told he had to pay the difference, he was outraged, and was sure this had to be unconstitutional.

He was quite surprised when he hit the UW law library to research this and found out that it was legal.
Unlike you, I post under my name. Aaronson doesn't know what he's talking about half the time.

The way i understand it, it is not crash safe. It can now persist data in some cases.

However redis is crash safe to about 1 second before crash or so, if not even better.
Yes you do! Came from the Discord to investigate the topic further, don't mind me.

You can totally control your ship (as long as you activate the 'advanced controls' over settings/finish the tutorial), focus certain guns to shoot somewhere on the enemy ship while others target elsewhere, or manually drive and aim your ship with Direct Mode!
Renting is an even worse exercise than subscribing to a streaming service.

For heavy consumers, the renting fees will add up quickly and the selection on those stores is not as flawless as you make it out to be.

To this day Amazon still demands more money for anything better than SD quality, information about supplied subs/dubs is spotty at best, if they are even supplied at all. Bonus content? Completely missing.

Why deal with that when for nearly the same amount of money you can often order a complete Bluray and own the movie in a physical format? Not just a "temporary license to stream"?

> "If I can watch any movie ever for $10/month, I'll do it, but otherwise I'll just pirate them" is a very strange viewpoint IMHO.

Then it's good nobody here claimed anything like that. But you are still stuck in this "all pirates are cheap freeloaders" mode, when in reality piracy usually happens in addition to the user already being a heavily paying fan of the medium [0]. Piracy supplements that when it's more convenient/not legally available/past the monthly budget.

I could imagine some lesser agencies, like some local small CPC offices have some of their workers going online in their spare time to push narratives. Whether encouraged just an an act of patriotism or something more organized where they look at your results and help manage what to hit.

But as you mentioned these could only really work within China. I doubt they have enough local english speakers who could effectively communicate in purely western social media channels. At least for the average party member.

Those people obsessed with politics twitter are a super paranoid bunch these days too. They suspect anyone who disagrees with them might be a Russian bot. So there would be a lot of scrutiny of anyone pushing pro-Bejing narratives without both subtly and a careful grasp of the language and culture.

They'd need some real professionals to do this right.

Otherwise there's still going to be plenty of Chinese people who automatically defend their country. If not simply for propaganda reasons and an impulse to defend your home and people, especially as their media often presents them as the victim of western conspiracies to sideline them and prevent their greatness. They simply want to correct any negative images attributed to the Chinese, which is understandable and easy to dismiss as being a 'bot'.
Because they can. Alternatively, perhaps it would be more like >$2000 to avoid the advertising.
Thank you for using the word "misinformation" instead of Fake News.
You're stretching the analogy in a whole bunch of ways.
They're hosting old, out of print games, not the latest Call of Duty best seller.
And the DMCA has a 'D' at the front, because it's different when content is digital, otherwise it'd just be 'copyright'. The DMCA explicitly allows for this method of operation: the Internet Archive, like HN or Reddit or IG or YouTube is a neutral 3rd party, hosting content that users provide. As long as they take that content down when legally notified appropriately of a copyright claim, then the DMCA explicitly says they're good to go. And as another user metioned, the games specifically have an exemption/carveout codified in law:

The way I see it is this: both an impossible burger and a real beef patty are not good for you. I don’t eat meat for a whole bunch of reasons (health being one but not the only reason). So when I want to “splurge” and eat something unhealthy and delicious, I eat an impossible burger. I have no illusions about it being good for me.

I’ve seen a lot of hit pieces about impossible foods, and it stinks of beef producer propaganda.

Personally, I think eating beef is disgusting. I have no problem that others want to eat it. Freedom of choice! But I for one am super happy that these alternatives are becoming more available.

Impossible burgers make fake meat palatable to non vegetarians, and the less beef we eat, the better. Your average joe burger consumer would never eat a “Whole Foods, plant based mushroom burger”. Why? They all taste like crap unless you’re into that kind of thing. So having a viable meat alternative that anyone can enjoy can only be for the better.

When you submit a CRD to Kubernetes you get a few things:

1. The CustomResourceDefinition itself, a document that tells Kubernetes "Hey, I have a kind of custom resource I want you to know about".

2. Instances of that custom resource that have been submitted to Kubernetes. "Submitted how?", you ask, which leads to:

3. When you submitted the CRD, Kubernetes automatically created HTTPS endpoints based on the values of the group, kind and version of the CRD. It accepts that custom resource at that endpoint.

What makes dealing with CRDs confusing, in my experience, is that "CRD" is used in two senses. One is the actual resource, the actual chunk of YAML submitted to Kubernetes that contains "kind: CustomResourceDefinition".

The second sense is to bundle together all the things that can be done with or flow from CRDs. Usually this is where you hear about controllers, operators and so on, but it will still be called "the Foo CRD", even though that's like referring to a 3-tier application as "the Foo table schema".
We're moving away from Kubernetes because managing even a simple implementation is a full-time job. Obviously Kubernetes is meant for enterprises, but I've seen seed round/series A startups with a small engineering team using it.

We were at a crossroad. Either we hire an SRE that has extensive kubernetes experience for $130K/year or we move to a managed platform until we actually need those capabilities.

We're happy with the move and the pressure relief is tremendous. Now we can focus on features and not whether or not deploying is using ENV vars from our local machines and causing the system to crash.

Agreed, it may still be a trash heap, but it's still very relevant culturally. It's also a lazy source for headlines and (occasionally) breaking news so it gets far more relevance media-wise than it warrants in terms of quality.
