It means they were broke af and in a death spiral because nobody wanted to buy any shares of docker at any worthwhile price, so instead, they created a ton of more shares and sold those and now the organization has capital to do things that makes value for all shareholders
That's true, a lot social activists are very much in favour of putting biases in systems. That's also pretty much what most gov policy is, various competing special interests fighting to intervene in various systems in a favourable direction.
Finally they found someone to get sold to. Only 750 customers, so low.

And no info on the price.

> They're the >~10% of cpu perf intel chips have lost in the last few years with all the mitigations.

Given AMD's Zen 2 has comparable IPC to Intel at this point without doing the ACL check late it's not evident that the difference in when the ACL is done was a key efficiency gain.
I agree that docker never got branding right. but the whole thing makes even less sense when you see this nugget:

"Mirantis will keep the Docker Enterprise brand alive, though, which will surely not create any confusion."

But won't that typically be a worst-case estimate? I actually kinda like itemized shipping charges. Then I know if I'm buying two items then I'm not being double-charged for shipping.

There is the obvious, using this technology to put words in somebodies mouth. The more nefarious though, is that certain people who lie all the time can easily claim that a lie you recorded them saying wasn't them and now you can't prove otherwise. Certain people can say whatever they want and just deny it later. "Fake News" indeed..

I'm not sure that's true -- I think most developers use whatever is fashionable in their circle at the time, and then the project gets locked into that tech. In some circles, they're old enough to stabilize: kernel developers are attuned to C, and will rarely consider anything else regardless of option-availability, because their entire ecosystem (and by virtue, culture) revolves around C. C of course was picked in the first place because of the fashion at the time kernel development got into gear.

That is, kernel devs got into bed with C before it was a "clear winner", and now they're stuck with it.

Ecosystems that are still developing, layered on top of these older more stabilized systems, have the freedom of choice, and they certainly make use of that freedom.

And of course, by nature of a non-stabilized ecosystem, most choices made are done before a clear winner exists -- because no clear winner exists just yet. But the choice will stick, unless it was dramatically harmful to the project.

The older the ecosystem, the less viable it is to select anything other than the clear winner, because the ecosystem is coupled to that clear winner, and the ecosystem is the fashion.
At first glance there seems to be more more malicious uses than good ones with voice.
Yes, hearing someone dear to me say things he/she never said maybe comforting.
Anything else?

Maybe some movies with the deceased actor's voice?

But what if someone who wants to hurt me sends me files (or phone calls) from the deceased person saying horrible things like:

- "I am still alive but left as I was tired of you"

- "oh Jan, I love you" [fake phone call from the past, where Jan is a lover which never existed]

or even from alive people:

- "I am leaving you"

- or my live voice saying stuff which gets me fired or in prison.

We will never be able to believe voice again...how will we adapt?

By the way, a major problem that cannot be fixed is transport of basic resources for processing and manufacturing. Localization makes no sense as you have to transport the raw resources to where they're needed anyway and it is almost impossible that you have the necessary materials or parts on hand. Concentration works better as you can use bulk transport, cheaper per unit. But reducing consumption and replacing materials with locally available equivalents is king. In this regard, most plastics can be made locally (or the equivalents) so local assembly would win, but for advanced technologies or metal products there's no way most of the time to replace it. We can use less - plastic cars, earthworks and plastics (esp. biopolymers) rather than glass and concrete for structure as much as possible and more.
I've been scared away from Apple for some time. It started with the touch function keys, then the butterfly keyboard, reducing ports, reducing the machine to near throw-away status when the warranty is up, while remaining very expensive. Never say never but I don't see anything here worth pulling me back, when their are PC laptops that could do the job just as good, perhaps better.

Info is kind of cool but as others have stated requires learning yet another command line user interface. It's nice to hear that in recent years it's been made more user friendly by respecting arrow keys, etc but IMHO nothing can touch man foo | col -b > /tmp/foo.1 && vi /tmp/foo.1 for simplicity. It's not a vi vs emacs thing as much as I just want to get to the data and get the tool out of my way kind of thing.

Particularly when taking a certain vendor's certification tests, it was the work of seconds to write a man page example to disk and turn that into a script.
> because you're using your biases against people who think differently than you

How do you differentiate between "biases" and "legitimate disagreement"?

I do it by exploring how much attention someone's paid to they path they took to where they are. Biases generally present as short, unexamined paths.

> Or: Two wrongs don't make a right.

I would agree. Too much of justice is about negative incentives.
> Google would just argue you agreed to that in the terms of service.

and any judge can tear that to shreds if they are sympathetic to the implementation
To take a step back... we're discussing a personal opinion on how to manage things compared to what k8s has documented and what's happening with other tools like service meshes.

I respect what someone has as an opinion. I just would like others to know where the opinion differs from the docs and tools out there. People can make their own choices.
I'm guessing this will just be used as an excuse by Google to prevent this technology from being easily or fully accessible to others.
No? Most people would struggle to save up hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for the cancer or any chronic diseases they plan (?) to get at some point. Aside from that, you have no idea what medical conditions you're going to get, and when. Even if you can save the money, it's a massive amount of money sitting around in cash (can't invest it because you could need it any time), which would be a huge waste. And some people would save it all up and never end up needing it.
Yeah, generally a cloud based approach to training models is better than on your mac. AMD folks have been working on RoCM for some time and it works reasonably well for common models but the AMD GPU HW isn't pervasive like Nvidia GPUs in places like AWS.

If you are looking at using Colab for prototyping, you can also try TPUs which are now supported for PyTorch. Here is the link some additional info including some Colab NBs: https://github.com/pytorch/xla

Having been to Venice multiple times, I have somewhat of a contrarian view: even if the entire city were underwater, it wouldn’t really change much. Venice as an actual place to live died decades ago. It’s nothing more than Disneyland at this point.

If it found itself under the Adriatic in 50 years, I imagine it would simply become an underwater Disneyland. The architecture might actually be better preserved for future generations; for example, had Venice sunk prior to the mid-80’s, there wouldn’t be a McDonald’s there (yup, there’s a McDonald’s in Venice.)

I worked for a small company who built white-box PCs in the late 90's thru the early 2000's. The Intel desktop boards were far and away more reliable than any other manufacturer's boards. The Intel boards weren't flashy or as feature-filled, and they did have some "duds" (particulat board models with various "erratum", the whole 820 chipset SDRAM controller debocle), but their manufacturing consistency was excellent. I don't believe I ever encountered a DOA board coming out of the box, which I can't say for ASUS or Gigabyte.

Edit: Power supply quality helps a lot, too, as others have said. I can't remember the brand of power supplies we used, but that definitely mattered.
Except for the small fact that its starting price is $2300, that buys you absolutely nothing better except for something that looks nice. Mac OS has been declining in quality, and the hardware design still lacks quality. Im willing to put money on the fact that this thing will thermal throttle.
The measurement of customer service experience is not when someone can follow "if (X) then (Y)" with a customer on a phone. Rather it is when the CS person needs to resolve something that does not have "if (X) then (Y)" step in the manual.
I am so glad I transitioned from Google services in 2012 (mostly spurred on by the domestic spying stuff). I did a dump of all my Gmail account and could not be happier (Gmail's IMAP implementation is hopelessly broken rubbish).

I used Dropbox and now MEGA to sync photos off my phone, but I copy all that stuff to my NAS and backups. I use Drive for some things, but I wouldn't be screwed if it went away. I disable almost all the major Google apps on my Android phone and hope to switch out to Lineage + miniG soon.

I use a self hosted TTRss currently (Google Reader was garbage and it dying was really good as I realized what good RSS readers were actually like).

I need to set a reminder to do more regular Facebook exports/backups. No one should be in the situation where a single provider killing your access means you loose a huge chunk of your content. Self hosting has its own problems and yes, a lot of people don't have the knowledge/means/time to do it, but man I'm glad I made it a priority.

My phone number is still on Goolge Hangouts. I need to find a better solution for that as well.

Well, it's not an end yet. That $35 million isn't nothing! That's why it's a shame that this was messaged so weirdly, a lot of people are going to skim this news and conclude that Docker went out of business.

Plus, open source Docker is a really nice tool. Even if the company tanks, I hope somehow the open source community manages to keep it going, because it would be a shame if the Docker parts of peoples' infrastructure just decayed over time.

So you used an SPA framework like angular/ember or is it pure JS?

That's interesting, do you get enough volume (or foresee it in future) to justify Kubernetes? What would have been the difference in cost/performance if you had hosted on plain old LAMP system?
>You are fairly asking why this particular corner was cut for costs, and it does seem a weird place to save a few bucks when, as you say, the price is ~$4,000.

Because the marginal cost of a better camera doesn't yield a sufficient increase in marginal revenue.

I'm a personal friend of John's, so I'll just +1 this project. It's a pretty solid and simple invoicing tool. Quick form to produce the invoice from a template, sends the email with a pdf version attached, and then gives you a tool to track sent-invoices states. He's been doing contract work a while so he's hit all the features you'd want from this.

If you're doing contract work, I'd suggest giving it a shot. Invoices are always a PITA so this is handy. Congrats on the release John

Cuttings are great in that respect because you only have to pay for soil! And I stay busy building cheap training boxes from scrap wood.
>Why was running in silence the right way? How did we determine that using technology to supplement, facilitate, or complement an outdoor activity was bad? And should I feel guilty about using it?

Yes and no, if you run in silence it helps you focus your breathing to your cadence and you can hear your heartbeat/breathing better. At least for me.

When I do not want to do a run or feel unmotivated, yes music can help get me through it, however I feel myself running faster or slower to the music (I know you can get BPM that matches your running pace).

However I am vastly more in tune with my body when running in silence.

I would never shame someone for running with music, because the fact they are running is more than most people do, however they must realize there are benefits to doing activities while abstaining from technology.

It almost seems like using tech is situational/subjective and not so black and white. If I am hiking and make it to the top/overlook, personally I like to just sit there for a moment and take it in. There are others who I am sure the second they get to the top want to take photos to post their accomplishment on social media. Either option is fine but realize that to each person they may prefer a different experience and that is fine!

I'm not sure if that's what the person I was asking meant by "general agenda", considering the change you're talking about (Manifest v3) doesn't even affect Brave[0], or any other Chromium based browser that simply doesn't wish to implement that specific change. Chromium based browsers change their code all the time, and decide whether or not incoming changes will be fully adopted by their browser themselves.

My wife also has a moissanite engagement ring that we love. It was more like 1/5 the cost of a diamond ring, although maybe I'm figuring "equivalent diamond" differently than you (doing the math on your comment indicates about $400, which is around what we paid, but I'm seeing similar diamond settings for about $2-3K on Brilliant Earth, though with slightly smaller & fewer stones).

Our main motivation was actually social justice over price, though - my wife is big into a number of social justice causes, and couldn't justify killing villagers in the Congo so she could have a diamond engagement ring. We looked into lab-grown diamonds as well, but just found that we liked the look of moissanite more. You can totally tell the difference if you have a trained eye, but to mine moissanite is better in basically every respect you would care about: it sparkles more, has more defined facets, and tends to be clearer with a brighter light.
I am, and you are indeed correct.

I'm not sure about the US's national flood insurance, but for other things, it doesn't always enable stupidity. If there's private insurance companies involved, they usually won't insure abject stupidity. Even government insurance has its limits.

As an example, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast back in 2005, and it was a total disaster. Flooding, of course, was not covered by private insurance (it's been like this for a very long time), only wind, so there was a lot of arguing over whether insurance companies had to cover losses because the storm surge was actually caused by wind, and a lot of damage was solely caused by the hurricane-force Category 5 winds. I'm probably leaving some important details out...

Anyway, the aftermath was that private insurance companies in that area refused to insure wind damage to buildings. It just wasn't worth the risk. So the state (Mississippi) came up with something called the "wind pool" which was government-provided insurance for wind damage. The problem was, it was really expensive. So a lot of people never did rebuild, a lot of people left (or moved farther inland, where the insurance was cheaper), etc.

The bottom line is that enabling stupidity as far as building location only works long-term if it's being subsidized. If insurance reflects the true risk of building in a certain place, then it really limits that kind of activity.
Well, here's the thing: a good Samaritan offered 2.6M stories from HN with score. I've downloaded the file (almost 500M) and I'm now processing it. It is taking a long time to just process it.

My question is: do you think is worth feed the NN more data so it can make better predictions? Please up vote this comment so more people could give their opinion.
