I think we should just accept that humans and computers will be good at different things. Otherwise when AlphaStar 5 walks on stage and smiles at the camera we'll be criticizing its use of fuel cells instead of digesting food.
Don't assume that there is nothing inheritable about this: "the quality of life impacts are significant and people are willing to go to considerable lengths to reduce them."

Some people just won't care very much. People like this exist in the world today.

We've found genetic influences for lots of behavioral traits, including ones related to politics and religion. (and more commonly known things like: depression, autism, intelligence, etc.)

> In non-cloud environments, web apps are often written to run in app containers such as GlassFish, Apache Tomcat, and Apache HTTP Server. In contrast, twelve-factor apps don't rely on external app containers.

This comment stood out to me. Why does this have anything to do with cloud vs non-cloud?

Furthermore I think there are merits to both of the approaches. But the article phrased it as if one is clearly more superior than the other.

I think we should also not forget that for the longest time, even before there was Google Cloud, there was App Engine that adopted the former approach: you simply write your handlers in Python, and the server provided by Google runs your handlers. Nowadays in the new Python App Engine runtime they added gunicorn by default so it's less clear.
This is the weakest or least well-defined aspect of 12factor.

How can you 'store' anything in something as ephemeral as environment variables? Where do these environment variables come from? When are they set?

You should of course store everything in version control; the point of this guideline is that the scope should not be the same as the app or an instance.

There is particular tension between this guideline and X. environments should be a similar as possible and I. there should be a single codebase for all deployments.
I think you misunderstand me. I don't think those carve outs are a bad thing.
Most of the time it is SQL (for modding queries) and JS (for modding pages). Occasionally, I use Java and C#.
Yes, cannabis kills REM sleep pretty significantly.
There are a dozen of cloud-based web apps that interface with IRC.

I mean, it's a very simple cosmetic fix and has no bearing on the schema. I thought you were arguing that the first name / last name model is fundamentally broken, but I guess you were not.

Also -- and I swear I read thid in the NYTimes, but I can't find it -- CEOs are now not uncommonly ditching cellphones and laptops before going into important meetings.

In a general sense, this sort of thing seems to have the potential to have incredible conseauences for liberty, justice, the economy and Western society.
Also ... it's a bit circuitous.

> requires strict separation of config from code. Config varies substantially across deploys, code does not.

What's the difference between config and code? Config is that which changes between deployments / environments.
Wifi absolutely prevents sleep. It does so through a mechanism called "surfing the Internet on your phone in bed." Ditching the wifi and switching to wired Ethernet won't save you from this phenomenon either! The problem is a sleep endangering device that's designed to shoot particles (which also behave like waves) directly into your head! It captures the wifi signal which the device uses to reconfigures its photon emitter, which will disrupt your sleep.

The only solution is to leave your phone on the other side of the room or if you can help it, another room entirely.

But seriously, sleep hygiene is an important aspect of basic hygiene that should be more broadly taught, but isn't.
Thank you for your polite reply. You have a point, although I disagree that the pro-independence politians are acting morally. Spain, at pains to act within the bounds of legality, is held to much higher moral standards, and here is another assymetry, this one favourable to and constantly exploited by the independentists, who seem free from the constraints of legality.

What is shown in the international media is just the tip of the iceberg. It doesn't show the independentists' feeling of superiority (rather than equality). I have read the pro-independence media, and their reader's comments, in Catalonian, to get an unfiltered view of their thinking, and the difference with what they project internationally is glaring. The Catalonian constitution, approved by their parliament is spite of its illegality, which they plan to adopt in the case of independence, has severe restrictions on press freedom and judiciary independence, far less democratic than the current situation in Catalonia. They brand Spaniards from other regions living and working in Catalonia as "inmigrants"; Catalonians in other regions of Spain are treated there as equals.

Maybe I am too cynical and influenced by realpolitik, but I am afraid that real world politics works mostly according to interests (and power; rules are made according to these) rather than just morals (although these too are a factor when it comes to interests, as Machiavello said it is very important to hold the moral high ground). I find this approach unpleasant, but also think that it allows one to better understand how the world actually works, rather than how it should work (I am powerless to change the world, but at least I can try to understand it).

Democracy is often used by western governments and groups as a very powerful emotional propaganda tool (for the first time AFIK, in the first world war against the kaiser). I remember when Iraq and Afghanistan were invaded in the name of democracy. The real motives were never stated in the open, they never are, what matters is to create a narrative that the masses will buy; it is only possible to understand what happens by taking a global view and considering multiple factors (of course I don't claim that I do really understand, I just mistrust whatever is claimed by the media of both sides and suspect the real motives are often hidden).

Is my view destructive? What if allowing a referendum results in the collapse of Spanish cohesion, very likely. Wouldn't the resulting turmoil be more destructive that the status quo (which I admit is far from ideal, but IMHO the lesser evil)? This is what I mean by absolutes, I believe that one should approach complicated problems globally, rather than by optimizing for just for one local property, even if it's a noble one such as democracy or self-determination. Look at the Arab Spring, there are many lessons here.

I like Bertrand Russell's take on liberalism: a difficult balance between maximizing personal freedom while preserving social cohesion.
Also Tencent is an investor in Discord if that's a concern for people.
On the free slack plan, you don't get history beyond its 10k message limit (or whatever the number is), unless you start paying per head. Even on small teams, that limit is hit surprisingly quickly. For the medium-to-large sized open source project slacks -- the history is basically completely useless.

Free slack is on par with IRC here -- you need someone nerdy enough to run a chat history bot to get a full searchable history.
You sound like you are simply talking about ad blockers, which says to me you are missing the point.

Not everyone will choose to use ad blockers. Also, if you do that effectively enough, you end up with people sneaking the ads into the content, as opposed to clear delineations between ads and content. Do you prefer that?

Regardless, ads are here and a big part of the economy of the web. If I were Google, I would simply ignore the people who are so extreme that they can't see value in their attempts to reduce the annoyance factor of web advertising.

Personally, I am ok with ads that do not significantly slow down the page, are very clear that they are ads, don't block content, and don't make me wait for content. I don't even mind if they have tracked me, although I'd prefer if I had some degree of control over that. On a web site I like, I am glad that the site owner gets a few pennies for my use of the site.

I see a lot of ads -- often from Amazon -- for things like skateboard / roller skate parts, digital pianos, and "maker" things like Dremel tools. Sometimes I ignore them, but sometimes I look at them just like I would if I walked by that sort of thing in a retail environment: they catch my eye because they are things I like.

Admittedly, sometimes I see ads for things like women's swimsuits or the like. Probably because, in a moment of weakness, I clicked on an ad to see a larger photo of a pretty woman in a swimsuit. I'd kind of like to be able to say "I'm not interested in this sort of ad," but then again, I really don't care that much.

I suspect you can't wrap your head around my attitude, but that's what it is.

This is happening in binary systems. The black hole is not emitting any detectable X-rays from objects falling into it. There are none falling into it then. It is non interacting.

But we know it is non interacting because it Doppler shifts a nearby object in the binary systems these scientists are observing.

Being a binary system, unless the objects are at beyond perfect equilibrium with respect to their accelerations, the objects will eventually collide (in a true binary system). In other words, the Doppler shifting object must be actually falling, however slowly, into the black hole.

My question is this: Can we assume that the object is heating up and emiting additional x rays
I do not think the dichotomy you outlined accurately describes how things work

I mean, this is why we have developed the idea of a "protected class."

Because you're correct that, at the end of the day, judgement is judgement and sentiment is sentiment and everyone is the hero of their own story.

But to place the limits of proper action at sentiment is solipsism.

So there is a set of protected classes which we, as a society, have decided are inappropriate reasons to discriminate against people. The quick reasons it is wrong to discriminate: sex, race, age, religion[1]. There are many reasons we allow people to discriminate: lack of money, being violent to employees, being unacceptably rude, setting off explosives, etc. These are all discriminatory practices that often involve moral judgement.

We are always in the process of trying to decide if we should have a new protected class and how that class should be defined. I also suspect we will, at some point, talk about removing protected classes.

Businesses should (and in fact always do) make moral judgements about their clients. The people at Github who chose to work with ICE decided it was morally right for them to do so. You can tell because they did it. They might say they were sad about it and had "moral qualms" but at some point it does seem like it comes down to yes or no.

So do you think we should have a government agency class? Or perhaps a law enforcement class? I personally do not.

I don't understand the whole value proposition of Airbnb; and would never use it willingly myself. The prices are often more than what you'd pay for a hotel, the security and reliability is often less, and then if these sorts of things happen, you then have to haggle with case managers for a he-said-she-said type of situation.

Same thing with Uber — at least there, you get the convenience compared to having to call a taxi. What exactly do you get from Airbnb?

I travel for business lots, and the last thing I need to worry about is having to deal with these sorts of issues. Having a hotel and a car rental is so much easier and reliable.
Wow. So you're letting someone beat you up for a chance at $20k.
>make the deliberate decision that refraining from exercising that power is the morally optimal choice

Don't you think the FSF exists as a huge counterpoint to this? The FSF deliberate makes the decision that copyleft is the morally optimal choice and forces others to comply - and I'd imagine more developers view the FSF as a good thing.
be sure to investigate the new "rum" index for text search, which is not in pg core. rum is written by the same folks who wrote the core fts. stunningly fast and flexible. also, a query is a first class data type, allowing for a simple, elegant classification: find all queries which match a certain document.

That's not necessarily true. If you're a certified non-profit, you can get free Slack with unlimited message history for up to 250 users (https://slack.com/help/articles/204368833).
To extend your point, it is also clear from analytics in Steam & mobile gaming that games have massive amounts of player dropout. It is pretty rare, even in relatively short single player campaigns, to see 30% of people who bought the game finish it. So effort making the AI even better is always going to only be for an extremely small niche of players that play a game long enough to exhaust the limits of simple AI.

Just look at the achievements for Left for Dead. Only 40% of all players have got the achievement for "kill one of each Uncommon type" which is trivial to get if you play for a few hours.
Interesting, I didn't know about that. What happens if you get 251 users though?

EDIT:

Answered my own question: up to 85% discount, which is very nice, but still might be infeasible for many projects/communities.

You expect HN to investigate the truth of individual comments?
In response to a lot of the comments here, isn't the whole "people with power have the moral imperative to defend (their view of) morality" how the US got into the "America, World Police" problem in the first place?
It's not so much the cost of learning to fly that is dissuading people from becoming pilots. Yes it's much more expensive than it was just 20 years ago, and way more expensive than 40 years ago... but the biggest problem was that until these current pilots started retiring, it was actually a slow climb (pardon the pun) to get to a good flying job.

You had to start with whatever small regional airline or cargo company you could get to accumulate hours, and eventually you could get into the airlines. Until the last 10 years or so, there wasn't really a shortage of pilots in the airlines.

Plus, as we know, non-executive salaries haven't been keeping pace with inflation. And perks and retirement benefits have been shrinking. So it's less attractive now to become a commercial pilot than it was 20+ years ago.

A couple of other factors are also involved. 1. The US economy has shifted away from trade/skilled jobs and into information jobs. 2. Many pilots of the past learned to fly in the military; but since WW2, we've had less and less need for pilots - especially now that we are moving a lot of activity to remotely piloted drones.

I expect that as commercial pilot jobs become more attractive (due to not enough applicants), the salaries may go up, and the interest will redevelop.
For egg production, usually they are killed as chicks. This can be quite gruesome in the larger outfits, where they are sorted and the males run through essentially a woodchipper.

If you have too many adult roosters running around, they act like assholes and start fighting, pecking eggs, and other nastiness, so you don't want to keep them.

Meat chickens are usually mixed sex, as they are bred to grow so quickly that you slaughter them after only two or three months.

Historically, people would castrate male chicks and raise them as capons for eating, but that's become rather niche.

I think for business your stance makes perfect sense. For me, I regularly use airbnb for personal travel to stay in a neighborhood and really explore a city. Often hotels aren't an option. You also often get a fullish kitchen to cook in which is nice for anything more than a few days.

As mentioned elsewhere, being vigilant when booking can often avoid these. I've booked around a dozen places with no issues. Very much disappointed that Airbnb doesn't do better though, as generally the time searching of course is valuable. For me it's just not as valuable as the way I explore a city coming from an Airbnb instead of a hotel, so it's still a worthwhile service.

> A lot of Signal is basically "trust Moxie".

Let me come out and defend Signal
(I usually defend Telegram, but I don't think we should be unfair to anyone):

As far as I am aware no one who knows what they are talking about has come out with anything that says Signals end-to-end encryption is broken.

If I have understood it correctly an as long as that is true, NSA, FSB and the Chinese might be running the message handling together and there's still no reason to be worried that your messages will be intercepted in transit.

Disclaimer:

- as far as I am aware Signal is the safest messenger available for everyone

- even if all the above is true you are still trusting them with your metadata. I think they are good people. If you are scared of them, be aware that they know who you talk to and when. This is however true for any mainstream technology as far as I am aware.

- being good at crypto doesn't make them immune to bugs. There was a nasty vulnerability a few months ago that was remotely exploitable. Again, this is the same, or even worse for every other messenger.
I really admire your efforts and optimism around the product. I started something similar 2y ago - not general like yours but a vertical CRM for a specific segment. My value proposition was to create something really simple, clean and start adding relevant features by compiling from my user’s feedback. I end up building a lot of more features than I expected (pipelines, tasks, workflow, email integrations, custom fields, filters, permissions, api, webhooks, reports etc). No matter how your product is, once you position your company as a CRM, the users will always compare you with others 9000 existing similar softwares.
If you are planning to integrate google mail and/or calendar, be prepared to spend 15k to 90k for the third party company security assessment.
I wish you very luck and I hope you can create something meaningful in this space.
Or, you know, the country you are passing through presents (for overlapping, though not identical reasons) reasons the same dangers that you are escaping from, so it's not any kind of escape.
Is this AI better due to strategy and tactics? I am a low-level player but a fairly consistent spectacle, and in the videos I have seen I didn’t spot anything that looks like superior strategy or tactics. Just insanely good mechanics (which is still awesome!)

If the world economy crashed, we may go back to 40s.
What bothers me the most is how myopic people are about this. Does anyone not see how dangerous it will be if we have the world's largest companies choosing to do business based on their internal moral grounds? Do we really want tech companies to have moral councils that vet customers?

If you want to fix ICE, then by all means, attack the problem at its source! Take that well paid Github salary of yours and fund the ACLU and other lobbyists fighting the good fight. Write your congressman. Call your congressman. VOTE! Campaign for the correct congressman. Code for your congressman. Push for policy that makes ICE employees (and all government employees) more accountable for human rights abuses. All of these actions will be more effective than campaigning for ICE, who will just migrate to a different cloud code review tool
if the contract is cancelled (gitlab, bitbucket, or whomever else).
Today? Sure, I'd believe that. I'll try searching around, this is the first I've heard of it.

edit/ Cursory search seems to suggest this is fairly new -- I'm only seeing hits from news in 2019. Better late than never, but many servicemembers have languished and died in the meantime while the VA administration continues to delay processing.

I'm glad that they're at least not fighting so hard against service-connected illnesses and disability ratings. But, that still doesn't tell the full story, either. I'd be curious to learn what disability % different illnesses and times in service, branches, etc... are receiving. That could get closer to telling the truth.

Many of the Vietnam veterans my father and I know are < 50%, despite being incapable of working due to their service-connected health issues (nevermind the ageism, nevermind the loss of industry where these people live taking decent jobs away from entire regions, nevermind the fact they wouldn't be considered anyway because of their health issues, etc...). If you attempt to get a new rating, you can end up rated lower than where you started. And, so, it disincentivizes otherwise deserving people from pushing their luck, as it were.

> Also, because there are so many IRC clients, and so many servers out there, one person's IRC experience can vastly differ from another's.

How the fuck did people come to think of this as a negative? One of the stupidest things about "modern" IT services is that the public interface is a user interface instead of a machine readable iterface, so you can't build a user interface that fits your needs or preferences, you can't innovate features independently, and you can't use software to process the data, you have to interface everything with a human (or go to great length to scrape stuff 'n shit ... just the point of using information technology!).
Hong Kong has never had democratic elections. It has elections but they are non-democratic, as the “functional consistencies” system rigs them in one side’s favor.

“One country, two systems” refers to Hong Kong’s separate economic and legal system, not to democracy.

Unless you're Asian/Asian-American, of course. Then it is fine to negatively discriminate against you.

This is super interesting!

Do you run dask on k8s ? I have been concerned that dask does not leverage kubernetes HPA for autoscaling...but instead chooses to run an external scheduler.

How has your experience been ?
