I've always said one of my primary goals in life is to not have to wake up to an alarm. I'm so used to it now I didn't even think to mention it, but reading your comment I just realized I've achieved that.
I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to launch a multitude of craft orbiting in various places around the solar system and just stay primed and ready to intercept and explore these surprise interstellar visitor objects? Is it impractical to achieve this with something like a long-burning ion propulsion system?

These things are really unique and it's not like we'll have any other way to explore something up close from outside the solar system
Didn't Cloudflare take that stance prior as well?
It's encrypted, so no.
Well most native american tribes with land claims no longer exist any more (given that most were decimated by the varying colonial armies if they hadn't already been decimated by the spread of small pox), so the US would be just fine. But, to clarify above, I meant the boundaries already agreed to as boundaries of the quasi-sovereign 'nations' that are referred to (in a remarkably politically incorrect manner for this day and age) as 'Indian reservations'.

This would not be controversial were it not for most Americans' -- whether hick conservatives or rich white liberal -- love of continued colonialism and conquest. Functionally, and by US law, the reservations are to be treated as individual, sovereign nations. However, again by US law, they are not allowed to address foreign non-US nations as equals, because the US government will intervene. This is akin to the relationship between a parent and a teenager on the cusp of adulthood -- we will treat you like an adult, but don't get the false impression that you really are one. This American paternalism needs to end.
Hi there, Froggodoggo co-maker here.

When we started our company Kosmos School, we went through all our savings and failed to raise VC money. Friends and family helped us out initially, but we decided against taking yet another loan from them. We realized that working a couple of days a week for a money job would help us keep working on our own startup, on our own terms, as long as we want.

I was lucky, he instantly scored a part-time job with a previous company he had co-founded.

Dorena started looking for gigs on Upwork and co, but was less fortunate. The projects posted there were often paying a ridiculously low amount of money and felt boring and impersonal. On top of that, she had to put in a lot of unpaid time and apply to most projects. Instead of looking yet for another potentially shitty, low-paying project, we decided to build a better place for companies and founders to meet ourselves.

Let us know what you think!
He also appears on Democracy Now! occasionally. That it takes a listner/viewer funded station to get this stuff out is interesting.

RT can be propaganda in intent but I do like that they are at least showing a very different point of view to the majority of mass media. That Chris Hedge gets a weekly program would never happen on most other networks nowadays.

Watch it, take it in but don't take it too seriously. Treat it as stuff to be contemplated in its context.
> If you're on public transport, you could conceivably do something like reading or watching a show while traveling

Maybe you can, but I can't. I tried it for 5 minutes this morning and remembered again why I just stare out the window when on transit instead of trying to read.

It is still better than driving myself, if only because I'm not the bad driving doing something stupid.
you also have to tab past all

Or do Ctrl-Enter to get the list of all matches and navigate with arrow keys, should be faster.

Thinking of it, I don't really need discoverability often but if I did I'd probably resort to

Get-Command | %{$_.Name} | fzf

bound to a key or so: this gives you fuzzy matching search of all possible commands. I just tried, 1683 commands in total and this got me all Smb commands in about the amount of time it took me to type 'SMb. It doesn't get better than that. Well, except that you could have fzf split the screen and show the help for each command there.

This is also the typical PS (or other shells for that matter) story: people complaining about not being able to do discoverability whle in fact the there are actually some seriously good options but it's those options which are hard to discover :)
I remember a banana and curry powder pizza I had in Stockholm about 15 years ago.

It was interesting. Absolutely vile cold though.
I didn't see any mention of how long it takes to recover a mesh from an image. I imagine it's a significant amount of time, not including training.

What I wonder is, if this technology was fast enough, could it be used to caption sign language?

The color picker in particular is a massive step backwards. I've always thought the normal Windows color picker could stand some improvement and additional features. But this is moving in the wrong direction by taking away features.

Also, note that the images on this web page are being scaled to fit the blog's width. Not all images are shown at 1:1 zoom, so some will be stretched. I noticed the horizontal lines in the standard text box were fuzzy and realized it was being scaled by my browser.
Did he decline invitations though? Even if he might decline them, not getting them in the first place would still be saying something.
I see that you're very adamant on keeping the location anonymous, but I am vastly curious as to what region you are referencing to. I'm thinking perhaps Baltimore-Washington Area or even Houston.
Who's to say cities won't regulate how many of these cars can be on the road at any time? They already do this for taxis... And I believe some of them put limits on Uber and Lyft, too. Right?
the cover up in public education is where the real dirt hides but one would suppose the best place to hide is within any government agency, especially those given access.

it all just comes down to that the walls of anonymity are coming down and the privacy we are so afraid will be taken away by some corporation was long lost to the government who valued it even less
Wouldn't it be amazing if years from now, we found out that Satoshi Nakamoto was an intelligence agent, and that there was a massive state-backed social media campaign to convince the dark web to use Bitcoin, for this very reason?
If I talk about whether it's legal to fire people for being gay, is that bringing politics to work? How can I be focused on work if I keep hearing about gay people? Also, isn't it obvious that homosexuality is seen as a severe spiritual evil to a large (if not majority) segment of the population?

What is the professional intuition on productivity when a large segment of the population considers homosexuality to be spiritually depraved?
The Register has a special mix of technology reporting and satire. As with the title, that bit is obviously there to maximize provocation. Yet the article itself has some diligent research behind it, poking through commit logs and internal threads that few other journalists would. As a result it appears to be a scoop. Googling doesn't reveal any other media piece on this. I bet there will be others after this thread, though.

Basically, it's their job to provoke and our job as a community not to take the bait.
It's astounding that people do! We talk about work at work.
I think "this one" refers to the original article's title being really bad: "Blood money is fine with us, says GitLab: Vetting non-evil customers is 'time consuming, potentially distracting'"
No, it's not. Between encryption and a high background communication noise of the cellphone already it's hard to discern exactly what is being sent.

I don't think anyone thinks that they are, or will be sending all the sensor data to the servers. But they don't need to, they only need to send back what is determined due to that data.

Specifically consider what is most likely for an ad company, a few differentiated markers to help with targeting, that can easily be packed into a few bits. And can be trivially stored to be sent later on with some other packet that has a valid reason to be sent. (Appstore update check, anyone?) Accounting for every bit that leaves the phone sounds like a nigh impossible task.

I'm not saying this is definitely happening, but I don't think it's practical to rule out the possibility, with any amount of packet sniffing.
Very cool project, best of luck.
of they just don't want to be at home and put more hours in. :) kids, wife, etc can be hard for some.

i enjoy my home life with my family, but i know of a few other fathers that dont so much and purposefully work overtime.
Won't they have to prove in court that the payment was indeed for the purchase of weed and not payment for something legal?

It could be a loan/gift or whatever made to the individual by someone who is not knowledgeable about their criminal behaviour like a cousin or uncle.

I don't live in the US but it seems from what the police say on the tv series cops that all are to be treated as innocents until proven otherwise..

But then again, me and my friends here in Norway has always reworded that to "All blacks are considered guilty until proven white" so it might not really mean anything in practice.
The problem isn't the discussion of politics, it's the fact that that would even matter or influence your job in any negative way.
What are the bounds of the “political aspects” of society though and how are they negotiable? If we’re to preclude “politics” from the workplace, we would have to have also explain how most of the rights we enjoy as workers are the direct byproducts of labor struggle and its “politicization” of the economy and business practices.
That they are being hypocritical. Frankly, I think more women in tech and LGBT representation are probably good things, but GitLab is being profoundly disingenuous.
Diversity is good, remember?

When did diversity instantiate as “if you don’t agree with X without qualifications, you’re Hitler”?
Not sure how that would work. Nevertheless, I would be really surprised if recognized Tribes would voluntarily give up their sovereignty to become a state.
Selling screws to anyone who asks is one thing. Coming onsite to help build a sturdy black ops detention facility is another.

Which one will gitlab be doing?
Who are you to judge someone? Unless someone is proved to be a terrorist or something everything else is subjective. I support Gitlab.
you do you but i'd be very, very careful about volunteering your identity as well as CEO's political points of view (trivial to associate via your profile) without his consent on a widely trafficked web site
Agreed. I am reminded of MLK Jr's Letter From A Birmingham Jail: https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham....

The salient point being that indifference at scale is worse than individuals with explicit bias.
Seems like a good way to frame someone?
IPv6 should not be an addition to Kubernetes, but the default. IPv4 could then be an addition for when you need external communication to IPv4 networks. There's no reason why IPv6 isn't the default for internal communication between containers.

We've been deploying IPv6 for at least 10 years and have hosts that are exclusively IPv6. Then along comes Docker and Kubernetes with their retro IPv4 only stack and now customer wonder why we're struggling to make containers work or suppliers that can't understand why we can't easily deploy the latest version of their software, which is only distributed as a Docker image.
Are launch costs “out of control”? Cannot other networks’ cubesats hitch a ride with bigger payloads?
There's widespread consensus on limiting red meat. Red meat is a class 2 carcinogen ~ that's pretty bad. Processed meat is a class 1 carcinogen, right up there with plutonium and asbestos ~ egregiously bad.

As for other meats and dairy(which is just milk), most serious nutritional researchers will tell you to limit those if not nearly eliminate them from your diet. The media is constantly showing pro-meat stuff because the meat and dairy industry keeps funding pro meat research. It's especially confusing because even some of the largest companies/organization like the AHA and American cancer society is taking money from big meat and big dairy and funding pro dairy/meat research.
> We're not just talking about the stereotype people standing around a water cooler declaring affiliations and throwing political talking points past each other.

Who said they aren't talking about just that?

At one of my first jobs people got a bit upset in a discussion at some point about religion. My then boss said 'I have learned to never talk about politics and religion at work.'. He didn't forbid it, but the point is valid: why talk about things that gets people unreasonably fired up?

Hi, Dylan, a co-founder here. It's a great question.

We've found that for integrations or common automations, building on a cloud platform is too low-level. You've got to manage a number of services that aren't core to your use case (e.g. API Gateway, IAM, Cloudwatch Logs, etc.). We operate at a higher level and just give you an execution environment to run Node.js code or stitch together pre-built actions, similar to integration platforms like Zapier.

Of course, Serverless and other frameworks abstract part of the cloud services, but you're still running on that platform, and when you need to troubleshoot or scale the service, it's likely you'll have to peek under the covers. We tried to build a serverless platform from the ground up and provide services like the HTTP server, key-value store, logs, and other services right inside the UI, or accessible in code. There's no other cloud resources to manage or monitor.

This kind of abstraction isn't great for every application, but we think it shines when you're building integrations or data pipelines that aren't part of your core app.

The pre-built actions and built-in OAuth / key-based auth also operate at a higher level than most cloud services. We've tried to provide these in a developer-friendly way, so you have full control over how your workflow runs, but don't have to manage the parts that are tangential to the logic of your app.

As we expose more APIs for building and running workflows, we'd love to support a framework like Serverless.

I'd love if you have time to give Pipedream a try and see how it works for yourself! We're looking for feedback on how we can improve so we'd love more eyes on it.
Controlling audio also seems pretty big with the assumption that gestures work "through various materials for seamless interaction" as the website says. The dial, slide, and swipe gestures look perfect for adjusting volume and skipping songs without taking your phone out of your pocket. Technically a smart watch could also do this (though I'm not sure if it'd be equally smooth), but I also can't remember the last time I saw someone wearing a smart watch (YMMV, I'm in the midwest).

It seems like it'd work well in the general case of "I want to control a device that I can't touch". There's lots of reasons you wouldn't want to touch a device (dirty/non-free hands, device is out of reach, device doesn't have a screen, etc) and a lot of devices you'd want to control from afar (televisions, radios, speakers, AC units, alarm clocks, or arguably phones, I guess). It'll be interesting to see what uses emerge from that intersection once other kinds of devices get Soli.

I wonder if it'd be useful for more crazy ideas that fit into "giving a device more information about physical actions nearby" (like sleep tracking), but I don't know how realistic those are.

If verbs from the object flowing you want, "That style to me is preferable" you should say. (Style is the object, preferring it is the verb)

English reads left to right overall, but writing instructions in English does not flow smoothly either way. e.g. "shuffle a deck of playing cards then deal four" reads more naturally than either "a deck of playing cards shuffle then four cards deal" or "deal four cards after shuffling a deck of playing cards".

shuffle(cards).deal(4) is a mix of both approaches.
Which is great, right up until you work with people that aren't straight cis white men. Nonaction is and always will be political; it's just the politics of upholding the status quo.

When a regular political talking point is whether it's ok to fire you for existing the hypocrisy of the "don't put politics in my <x>" becomes painful (and certainly less than pleasant).

Companies should be free to declare they support the status quo, but they should never get a free pass as if that's some sort of neutral, objective opinion. They've chosen to make a stance and should be appraised as such.
Curved spacetime is not required to explain anything in classical mechanics.

The presented concepts are poorly developed and do not account for forces other than gravity. Suppose A and B are oppositely charged and electrostatically attracted together with great vigor over a considerable distance. Next to A there is a C, which is not charged, and not attracted to B (other than mildly due to gravity). A begins to move toward B rapidly, whereas C hardly moves toward either of them. Are A and C situated in a differently curved spacetime, even though they start off right next to each other in both space and time?

You didn't learn it this way in school because it's bunk. The equations of motion together with fields that are responsible for forces provide a coherent theory that actually solves problems.
> If we really believe that native Americans are valuable as native Americans (and I think that they are) then we need to provide governance structure that can work for them.

An individual who is a native american is valuable because they are a human. Their race does not factor into their worth, thank goodness. We need to provide governance capable of working for the 300(400?) million people that call the United States home. None of those people should get outsized consideration, and especially none for their race.

No nation can actually afford to negotiate with the US federal government as equals. Perhaps China and Russia are two exceptions. My proposed nations would nevertheless enjoy the same sovereignty that many other nations enjoy. If they would like US help, they can ask for protectorate status (like the Mariana islands), and the US should comply, because we should be friends with our neighboring countries, especially what would functionally be ex-colonies. The US needs to wash its hands of this kind of colonialism now, or it will fester and get much much worse.
"ourselves" as in from the perspective of the person writing that comment, people who are different than them. No need to get defensive.
> Of course 10k hours doesn't guarantee mastery either. I've put in that much on the golf course, and I still suck at it.

You might have put that much time into the skill of walking around a golf course, which is not a part of the mastery of the game. I don't know if 10k hour of striking a ball would provide mastery, but I would be ready to assume that it would help your skill.
The best pizza I've ever found was inside the Manhattan terminal of the Staten Island Ferry. This was over 50 years ago so who knows now. Growing up in the mid 50s and early 60s pizza was 15 cents a slice and a coke to go with it was a dime so my Mom would give my sister and I a quarter each and we would walk down the block to the local pizza parlor for a Saturday lunch treat. Large soft pretzels were a nickel each or 6 for a quarter from push cart vendors. It was a good time to grow up.

I'm not sure how this is a response to my comment. If Hitler's response to the "Jewish problem" was to put the Jews into their own sovereign nation, then I don't think we would have had a Holocaust. But, yeah, I mean Goodwin's law and all.
Would there be any benefit to adding branch prediction logic to a GPU?
Which status quo? Say what your interpretation of the "status quo" is, and I'll read it as a political statement. Say that you shouldn't accept it, and I'll read that as a political statement too.
Thanks, keep up the good work.

I agree with the other user that mentioned it would be nice to have some indication of hard or soft blocks. I realize that wouldn't be easy, especially to be completely accurate with, but even if it was done for a subset of sites that often appear it would be a nice feature.
Meh. The NSA will simply fabricate evidence if they really want to get you.

As an individual, I can't stop the NSA if they are genuinely out to get me. All I can do is increase the cost enough that random bureaucrats have to get up from their computer, sign a form, and expend some money to do so.
just joined. I can even write articles on your site.
Hi, Dylan, a co-founder here.

Deploying workflows from source via CLI or your CI/CD pipeline is in the works! We want you to host workflows on Github / Gitlab and be able to deploy them using your standard process.

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you'd like more information and I can let you know when we're testing this.

You've now posted 5 stories about this with very little engagement. I'm not a mod, but please stop trying to drag drama from another community over here.
Lots of majority consensus ideas have papers criticizing them, and I don't see why Wikipedia would be a good place to look to determine that in any case.
The comment you're replying to said that most political speech has moved to a few platforms. I haven't forgotten that IP addresses exist, but what has that got to do with my comment?

Nobody is preventing you from putting your political musings in a newsletter distributed by carrier pigeon, or setting up a coöperative news telegraph wire, or your own broadsheet printing press.

You are just as free as ever to put HTML on a server and air-drop and spray paint your dotted-quad all over the physical world. You are equally free to get a bullhorn and stand in the desert and preach to the prairie dogs, should you be so inclined.

The issue is with the concept of root cause. Many systems are better understood as having influencing factors, yet none of them could be called a root cause.

If you can never say, "That's why it happened," then the 5-whys method fails.
