> gravitational wave red shifting is a thing

Yes.

> with blackholes it's a very important phenomenon

Black holes can lense gravitational radiation emitted by background systems.

Most background systems we are likely to detect soon will involve black holes. But these are black holes in some sort of mutual orbit, rather than black holes simply moving across some system of celestial coordinates.

For black holes that are moving linearly at near the speed of light, the black hole's effect on the metric elongates like a pencil, with the field weak outside and growing strong towards the centre of the "lead" or graphite. This is similar to Lorentz-contracting the near region around the black hole, and one can generalize a bit and say that as the boost between an observer and any object increases, the object thins. In the ultra-ultrarelativistic limit, the object and all the strengthening-towards-infinity field values around it become infinitely thin.

As one's speed relative to a black hole gets very close to c, the black hole becomes quite easy to model as an exceptionally high-energy massless particle.

You get this effect when your small space capsule whizzes by our galaxy's central black hole at speeds near that of light too, and your small momentary perturbation basically affects the black hole not at all. Because Lorentz contraction is reciprocal, whizzing a black hole -- even a large one -- at ultrarelativistic speeds past the International Space Station is going to have very little effect on it.

We model this with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aichelburg%E2%80%93Sexl_ultrab... metric of General Relativity and usually some gauge fixing and small perturbations.

Tossing a large black hole past the ISS at low speeds compared to light will really mess up the neighbourhood of the solar system, but your space capsule can pretty safely manage a slow-compared-to-light hyperbolic orbit around a large black hole without much problem (ignoring any accretion disc and twin "paradox" issues).

>Why can't it be related to health?

I don't think it's not related in some marginal way to health. I just doubt that it will have much impact on health given the terrible air pollution that people are already subjected to, regardless of whether they smoke. The stronger explanation is the political moral signaling.

It would be a different thing if e-cigs were banned in a country that had very low air pollution and, say universal health care like Canada, because in that case the taxpayer is on the hook for paying for whatever the negative health effects of vaping are - and the connection between vaping and the condition would be much clearer.

From very quickly looking over the article they seem to be comparable to the meat. A bit more sodium I guess. I for one definitely isn't looking at meat alternatives for the health benefit. As long as they aren't dangerous and somewhat comparable to meat I'm 100% fine with it.

Agree totally. One win Kubernetes provides my current team has been the fact that it is the interface on top of a cloud with agnostic primitives, allowing for multi cloud scaling.
There are a lot of primitives, and a lot of things to monitor to ensure a running cluster, but the complexity of the system is IMO overblown in the popular mind. Isn't the core tenant of SRE to have the stability of the system automated?

> Our questioning the veracity of the complaint did not seem to make any difference.

Linode is an ISP, not a court of law.

Legally, it's not up to them to make this determination. If they are compelled to take down a site by law, then their opinion about the veracity of the complaint is not really relevant. Unless they want to defy the law in order to go out on a limb to protect a customer. Which is a lot to ask of any business.

Absolutely not. You can ignore a defective DMCA notices and see if the claimant files a lawsuit. Google routinely does this [1].

i mostly agree with you. great intuition and experience can largely reduce the need for metrics. the problem is that not every business decision is clear cut and people who have to make them are not always Jobs or Gates.

what metrics give you is a way to give the average joe (which is most of us) a way to take calculated risks when there are multiple stakeholders each with their own opinion of what should be done.

metrics - like statistics - can be used effectively as a guide or can be used obsessively like dogma.

I am astonished by the comments I am reading here. One commenter suggests that Spanish newspapers are not viable because of "low literacy rates". Another assumes that newspapers in Spanish are directed to immigrants.

Here is our experience building and using program analysis as part of our product security efforts at facebook: https://engineering.fb.com/security/zoncolan/.

Its run in both self-service (output to developers), guided (output to product security oncall of security engineers) and used ad-hoc to power up manual security reviews. Depending on the accuracy of each rule and the impact of the pattern of security flaw the rule finds it is promoted to ultimately output to developers directly.

It finds about a third of the security vulns we unearth each year.

That's fun for a week, maybe even a month, then you'd get bored. Humans need purpose and we like structure. Complete freedom terrifies and unsettles us.

Source: All my life I wanted nothing but to have enough cash in bank to take a year off and do whatever. When I got it ... at first I panicked, then I considered the boundless possibilities, then realized I have no idea what to do with that much money, put it in index funds, and went back to work. Now it sits there as a source of comfort and potential.

A modest fuck you fund that makes me feel better and gives me that sense of Oh yeah, if I stop liking my situation, I can afford to do whatever I want for a year or two without compromising my lifestyle
I never understood the big deal about Mein Kampf. It's incredibly dull. If the premise is you're worried about people becoming Nazis, then his speeches are what you ought to be worried about. He rose to popularity through his speeches, not writing.
Also, the adverse effects won't all simply be additive when superimposed. Using a made up example, suppose Vaccine C by itself would give me a 0.9 degree fever the next day, and Vaccine D a 1.1 degree fever. If I get them together, maybe I will have only a 1.3 degree fever, not a 2.0.
Locality/size of routing tables. If you had a hundred million subscribers with fixed IP addresses moving all over the country, you essentially could not aggregate any routes, but would have to have a hundred million routes in your routing table, and/or you would have to push all the traffic from and to all subscribers through one central router, which in particular would add latency for any subscribers that currenty are at the other end of the country.
> I fully believe that a consumer bank will refund 99.99% of transactions without asking further questions if you tell them it's fraud.

OK, so my point still stands then?! I mean, it's certainly true that banks will generally refund (and in many jurisdictions have to refund) if they can tell that the customer was defrauded, and they also generally won't inconvenience their customers over small amounts.

But for one, you didn't say 100%, and you can guess that the remaining 0.01% (though I would guess it's quite a bit more than that) are not the 100 pound transactions that ultimately wouldn't really hurt the customer anyway, but rather those that wipe out someone's life savings. It's an easy business decision for a bank to immediately refund you 100 pounds if they expect to make more than 100 pounds from you by retaining you as a customer. It's very much not if you are asking them to refund you 100000 pounds. So, there is a bias in this mechanism that it primarily helps those who don't need it, but is of questionable reliability for those who really need it.

Plus, even if you do get your life savings back, you can be sure that just asking them to refund you 100000 pounds will not do the trick.

So, yeah, sure, banks will refund you more often than not. But my point was that that is not something you can really rely on when it actually matters, and I stand by that.
Responsibility gives meaning to your life too
I'm kind of amazed at how effective this digital reputation management technique is:

* publish an exact copy of the offending content on a web site and include something that looks like a datetime which is earlier than the publication date of the offending content
* tell the web site's ISP and other service providers that they're violating copyright, pointing to your fake content and using the providers' copyright-violation processes, which you know all about because your reputation firm does this stuff all the time

This also works for search engine deindexing, right?

It's just remarkable to me that (a) we all know this works super well and (b) it keeps working even though everyone knows about it.

What is JSON Threat Protection?

JSON requests are susceptible to attacks characterized by unusual inflation of elements and nesting levels. Attackers use recursive techniques to consume memory resources by using huge json files to overwhelm the parser and eventually crash the service.

JSON threat protection is terms that describe the way to minimize the risk from such attacks by defining few limits on the json structure like length and depth validation on a json, and helps protect your applications from such intrusions.

A markdown-based blog lets you preview, if you're typing into an editor that supports previewing markdown. I do my long-form writing in LibreOffice Writer (because Fedora), then the "blogging"/translating bit in PyCharm in a markdown file. PyCharm has a rich markdown previewer, so I can write short posts in it, without the translation step.

I'm not personally aware of a static site generator that supports drag-and-drop images, but nothing stops such an extension/plugin from existing. When I want to embed an image on my site, it goes into an /images/[year]/ folder and is referenced in the markdown file with the manually-typed partial URL, as you mentioned.

You would have to be very rich indeed to achieve the same level of cover as is provided in comparable economies (UK/DE/AU etc), because the insurance is expensive and out of pocket costs / copay is high, and you may discover you cannot get or maintain insurance once you develop a chronic condition.

But even if you dealt with a broker and crafted a special insurance insurance product to deal with the eventuality of being denied further insurance, you are ignoring something significant: you don't improve the quality of life or lifespan of the population by making healthcare only accessible to the rich.

we had used some images from an mfg's pdf installation manual on a page that was reselling that mfg's own products which we were buying from their offical distributor - the only way to get the product. talk about absurd.

some of the media that they claimed was theirs was in fact our own original graphics/images. it didn't matter, we had to remove everything that was in their overly broad claim.

the DMCA is no joke, but is also a big fucking joke. it's trivial to completely destroy someone's business by simply making fraudulent claims (it's guilty until proven innocent). and it's almost impossible to prove that the claim was made in bad faith rather than simply in error. these claims are usually made by some contracted third party that flags everything that smells off. it's the new patent trolling.

While this is interesting I see doing anything but launching programs with simple text-substituted arguments as too much for bash or sh. Run shellcheck on some of your own code, or the code of even a simple project to see how hard it is to really use bash.

Why I think people gravitate towards it is because languages such as python add too much pomp to launching a shell process. A language like perl is usually easier to use but everyone hates it now.
I'm guessing with Oboe.js you solved this by capturing a stream(?) of JSON but only parsing relevant chunks as they appear and match the selector? Or do you simply load the larger chunks at once (either by a request or embedding JSON into the template server side) instead of streaming?

I could see the value in this for sure. I currently have a problem of loading a ton of JS for some users who have thousands of objects embedded in the view with Rails using toJSON() in a <script>.

The problem is that you cannot do anything about it, other than suing the author - if you can find them and they're in a reasonable jurisdiction.

Well, you can try to break the system by splitting it in half, introducing an overlapping domain. If collisions is the desired way of dealing with it, the whole thing is ultimately broken.

Just imagine Amazon breaking Google domains because they have a better cloud.

With ICANN and registrars, there is a point you can directly attack legally, and a root of trust.
Using intermediate node is changing the structure of the graph. RDF is not a general graph model. The fact that a node cannot hold data by itself (a link to literal is required) is risible.
