splunk is great at search, its also rather good at ploting graphs for a single search.

However doing it quickly or efficiently is not splunk's strong suit.

Grafana allows you to quickly graph data from source x, compare to source y and then build a dashboard.

Splunk can also do al those things, but much slower.

We had a huge splunk clusters (100gig a day), and its a great compliment to grafana.

typically you use grafana to alert you to when things are going wrong. It would point out which system was going wrong and at what time, then you'd use splunk to get the logs to figure out the cause.

> 3 - Why do I, as a UK resident, have to provide money so that someone in Vietnam can access our state news?

If you access BBC News from outside the UK you'll notice that it has advertising. I don't know how much of the cost of international news this offsets, but it will help.

But the more important answer is that everyone benefits if accurate and unbiased news is available to all. The cost of running an onion site is negligible. The cost of international news (and the World Service etc.) is not, but is definitely worth it (and as pointed out elsewhere, not actually paid for by the licence fee).

I can only speak for America society, but in my experience after a certain age general novelty seeking is discouraged. We've all experienced the feeling of being bombarded by questions from a toddler, but after a certain age we restrict the "universe of relevant questions" to be context specific.

As someone with ADHD, novelty seeking has never been an issue for me. Generally I think it benefits society as a whole to have a robust number of novelty seekers in the population -- but in a society where specialization is rewarded so greatly it can be a frustrating trait.
When I was a kid my house was "broken into" but because the door was unlocked the police couldn't qualify it as breaking and entering. It was merely trespassing and my neighbor who did it got off. I was 12, these details may be a bit fuzzy. I chased the guy off so nothing was taken, he just walked in, saw me running to the door and ran back out. Supposedly he was just drunk and wandered into the wrong house anyway.

I'm curious what affect not locking your phone might have on police reports if your identity/etc is ever stolen and you need to provide police reports. Possibly nothing, but I can imagine some credit cards legal team working hard on that aspect of things in the event you're trying to convince AMEX to return $40k of transactions you supposedly didn't make yourself and need reversed because your phone was swiped while logged into some CC app and they copied your card number.

which I'm sure are great magazine content if that's your sort of thing but I'm not sure are really headline "news" IMHO (both also from today).

To be fair I guess having Tor access to that content is probably needed in some locations. I just wish it was presented separately to genuine news content.
Interesting idea. I suppose it’s relatively low risk that the secret would be stolen and then connected with the encrypted archive. Thanks!
Relevant comment parent mentions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/dku13a/beating...
Something I've noticed is that some parents think that you can't be "firm" without being some strict victorian ogre of a parent.

Even when they are little (perhaps especially) you can insist on things without being some monster. You can say no, and mean it, without being an awful person.

One of your jobs as a parent is to teach them how to get on with other people, and part of that is realising that no, the world does not revolve entirely around them, and sometimes they can't get their own way.
A blindfold allows someone to be in close proximity to the person while also retain g visibility and communication with that person and other people (e.g. the driver).

If you lack out a special cabi area for a vehicle, either you are leaving them to their own devices in that area, or limiting the senses of your own staff you put in to watch them.

Finally, it's just a lot more expensive and cumbersome to have a large piece of machinery like that, and more likely to fail. What happens if the engine fails? Do you need a spare now? Using a blindfold as backup means that a blindfold is sufficient, so just use it and any vehicle now works.

JQuery vs. JavaScript. Why We Removed JQuery from Our Templates?
> - is trivial to set up (in stark contrast to configuring a untouched Vim/Nvim install from the ground up)

1. Part of the joy of vim is not configuring it. A ton of the plugins out there exist because the creators didn't know that a feature already existed in vim, and many of them break existing keybindings. Beyond a few small configurations, I use vim as my daily editor largely untouched. A big upside to this is that I can log on to almost any server and have an editor that is pretty close to what I use anyway.

2. My configuration process is (assume you're in ~):

git@github.com:kerkeslager/dotfiles.git
cp dotfiles/.* .

This works fine for pretty complicated configurations, but if there's something that can't be configured in a dotfile, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add a ./configure script that does the rest.

> Jackson claims that if Tesla flagship model (the Model S) was fitted with an aluminium-air fuel cell that was the same size as its current battery, it could run non-stop for 1,500 miles—almost enough to get from Land’s End to John O’Groats and back again.

For something that's designed to be swapped out of the car every so often that's a really really big qualification there. Tesla's battery pack is basically part of the chassis. With this aluminum air system you would basically need to be swapping out a huge component like every month or so.

Even with that caveat, I'm still skeptical, didn't Elon try and shoot for a battery swap station similar to a gas station and Tesla deemed it unfeasible?

This was a heartwarming story. I might add my own experience as a half Japanese/north European that recently moved to Japa. I've experienced the empty seat thing too, but it's not as bothersome as the people that stand up and move to other seats seconds after you sit next to them in a crowded train, now that makes me nervous. Being a foreigner does come with some perks I sometime envy though. Because I speak the language fluently, and one of my parent being Japanese, I'm sometime just labeled as "a rude person" when I act like a foreigner (where I'm born and raised), while a foreigner would just get a pass as people think "he just don't know how things work around here".

I do feel that too many foreigners (including me) jumps to the "racism" explanation too quickly though. It's not unreasonable because some things, such as finding a apartment as a foreigner are a experience filled with racism. Japan sure don't mind writing racism down on their list of preference. But most Japanese people simply runs on auto-pilot most of the day, and if they see something out of the ordinary (foreigner in the train) they just get really confused and stay away. Giving them a smile and a friendly nod usually lower their alertness pretty well.

Do we need a new session paradigm? Could quantum crack it?
Currently, a lot of websites "trust" the session because it would be very hard to crack.. and therefore variables like `user_id` are stored on the session, and that's cool because a user couldn't decrypt, change the user_id, and re-encrypt it.

But, if quantum computers make it possible to crack session encryption pretty easily.. well.. what about just a long token for a user.. and the actual user_id values are stored in the database, keyed by the token?

Exit nodes are relays. Node and relay are synonyms in context of the Tor circuit (guard/bridge - middle - exit). https://miro.medium.com/max/2560/1*j2aTFBQTd9e1PlFDjeKw1g.jp...

Being a Tor relay you participate in a public proxy network, so you automatically run risk that someone will harvest your IP address for whatever reason, e.g., lists for companies trying to prevent browsing via tor, etc.
I generally find that whenever someone points out that a feature that a plugin implements is already present in vim, the vim native feature has atrocious UX. It feels like a personality thing, it just seems like a lot of vim users don't care very much about decent UX.

>> its capabilities are arguably an improvement over the capabilities of the old monopolies

>I think this is true, but it's a much, much weaker claim than the one you have been making.

I think you need to stop identifying me with the author of the article. My original comment was to make fun of the author for his ludicrous comment about Marxists calling it a day after nationalizing Amazon, which got some Marxists riled up:

>Perhaps we need to break up Amazon because communism? /s

The comment you replied to in starting this conversation spelled out exactly the same argument you made above:

>So a communist economy, in Marx's sense, is also an economy in which there's perfect information. That can't possibly happen in the real world, of course, and Hayek correctly points this out about a centralised bureaucracy.

So the "much, much weaker claim" is the one I have always been making.

>>> Unlike the monopolies of old, which may have 1) to some extent, Amazon also has 2), and is trying to acquire 3) with its Amazon Business offering

>Wrong again. Amazon has none of those three, nor has any other monopolist in history.

It's exhausting to have to always qualify my statements. Of course I did mean "Amazon also has 2) to some extent, and is trying to make inroads into acquiring 3) to some extent".

>> Amazon does collect and process information that a market participant wouldn't normally have: consumer preferences.

>This is wrong. A market participant does normally have information about the preferences of other market participants. That's precisely the information conveyed by market transactions, buying and selling certain quantities of certain goods at certain prices.

No, this is wrong. Amazon collects information about the preferences of market participants through non-market non-priced transactions as well. Here's a non-exhaustive list of such information collection:

- information from consumer responses to recommendations made by the recommender system

- information from consumers immediately after they've clicked on a link supplied by an Amazon associate, which then directs them to a product page.[0] Yes, there is a market transaction between Amazon and its associates, but at the time of the click, the information isn't generated from a market transaction between Amazon and the consumer.

- information supplied by consumers themselves through Amazon Lists, listing explicitly their preferences for goods and services.[1]

- information supplied by consumers themselves about their social network and preferences through Amazon Wish List.[1]

This is evidence for suggesting that "Amazon also has 2) [to some extent]", possibly to a greater extent than any monopolies of the past century has ever had.

Thanks for the reply, and glad to hear about the review - am still surprised to hear the reaction was larger than expected though. The narrative is rather predictable - "community minded tech company raises cash, has ultra valuation, starts imposing tracking onto users etc..." Fair or not, that's the leagues now.

Also, might be a learning about engaging the community on things it understands - a common user of a SaaS platform might not have an understanding of tech, but a common user of a developer SaaS platform does.

If when I had next logged into the dashboard I got a modal that asked me "hey, here's a list of things we'd like to monitor to make your experience better, what data would you be happy we looked at?" I'd probably opt-in to some just to be helpful as I know the context.

I'm guessing a lot of your mid-market acquisition (though likely not revenue) is through word of mouth, migrations or "dark procurement" (?) - audiences that are ultra-sensitive to this sort of thing, so the misstep here is a question.
