People voting me down, I want to try to bolster my case. I'm going to use QubesOS just as an example because it's fresh in my memory. By no means do I want to pick on them in particular.

I go to qubes-os.org. I don't see "A community of hobbyists who put together an operating system. Join in if you'd like, but you're responsible for what happens. Good luck and have fun!". I see "A Reasonably Secure Operating System". I see articles in the press, all the powerful components under the hood. For God's sake I see Edward Snowden endorsing it. It looks like they're selling it.

I go to qubes-os.org/support. I see "They are not your personal, paid support service. No one owes you a reply. No one here is responsible for solving your problems for you.". This sends a mixed message.

Maybe it makes perfect sense to you because you're deep in this world yourself, and it's just "how it works". But then I would argue you're not thinking about the whole goal of Free Software, which is to ultimately replace proprietary software. Free Software was supposed to give you a reasonably replacement of proprietary software. Maybe without all the bells and whistles, but nobody says "and we'll leave you out to dry if nobody feels like helping you".

Imagine, somebody trusted this great, secure operating system. Suddenly something goes wrong. They post on this high volume community support list. Nobody answers. "But I'm in a total jam now. I trusted your operating system." "NOBODY OWES YOU HELP". You're leaving people out to dry with no recourse. I think people are not thinking of this edge case.

Of course you can get paid support, at worst from a third party. That covers my point entirely from a practical standpoint. However this leaves two problems in my mind. 1) Where _is_ the paid technical support option for (for instance) QubesOS? I don't know if it exists. When and if it does, it would be nice for Qubes to at least link to a few options from their support page. 2) The mixed messaging I described above is still a problem in my view. It really sounds like you're telling people "if we find you annoying we will leave you out to dry". You could at least mention the _prospect_ of 3rd party assistance. I think it sends a different message about how this whole ecosystem works.

A $1.5 Billion Tax bill reduced to Zero Dollars, all for the low, low price of $10 million! (2017 FedEx lobbying spend). From a corporate POV that's gotta be one fantastic ROI. The human part of me just shakes its' head at the disparity between the many and the few.
Sky hook gives it a boost to reduce delta-v requirements, you would still have small engines for on -orbit maneuvering, like all usual satellites do.
The display monitor would make a considerable difference in the reliability of the test.

As the article and the name of the condition state, there is a physical difference in the optic system that causes this condition. No subjective analysis is needed.

The reason I like it is because it's easy to do and precisely control no matter how inflexible you start out as.
Part of the reason for that, I think, is that Firefox development is done by the Corporation, rather than the Foundation. The Corporation's can have far bigger income streams (i.e. the search engine deal), so it makes sense to make that responsible for the development of Firefox - even though that means you cannot donate to it.

The WSE will come in 15U units with a chassis for the WSE and another one for the power and miscellaneous components. The final product is intended to act like any other network-attached accelerator over a 100 GbE.

So it's NIC bandwidth bottlenecked. Though 100 GbE is in the same ballpark as PCIe 3, but last I heard 40-100 GbE were pretty CPU-intensive compared to alternatives.

Yes, it's kind of like wondering "Does my computer store [R,G,B]? Or is it actually stored as [B,G,R] in memory? Are they represented in 2's complement form?", etc. Functionally our perception of colour is just how we mentally represent and compare vectors with 3 (or in this case 4!) components.

That said, our shared physiology and biology as humans makes my default assumption that red looks about the same to me as to anyone else. Unless they're colourblind or tetrachromats, of course.
Invisible Line – The line with the text around
> Your copyrights are ignored on any other country?

Essentially yes. If a work is produced outside of Iran, it does not have any copyright protection in Iran, vice versa.

As an example, since Harry Potter was quite popular in Iran, multiple (at least six IIRC) publishers translated it to Persian for the Iranian market. One publisher could not take another one's translated version and re-print it—the translated version was produced in Iran and enjoyed copyright protection in Iran. But the original English version was fair game for anyone.
Why is our community full of such reactionaries?
I wonder how such people experience pictures, movies etc.? All color reproducing technology is based on the the three-color system.

I'm skeptical of the articles claim that the painting gives us any insight in how a tetrachromat perceive the world. This is just like claiming a color blind person would be able to perceive full-color vision by looking at a painting. Never mind that tetrachromat painters would have real difficulty finding the necessary color pigments to reproduce what they see.
I never thought to get paid Ubuntu support for some reason. I really should consider it. I'm moving onto Qubes now. I understand if they don't want to organize such a thing. It would be nice if there were indeed a 3rd party paid support option, and they could just link to it.
I've started using podman for my personal projects where I want to deploy just a single service in perhaps a couple of containers on a VM.

I rebooted a box one time, and some sort of tracking for the podman networking decided that my listening port was still in use even though no container was running. The only way I fixed it was to uninstall the networking tool podman uses (I forget it's name; slirp4ns or something) and podman itself then reinstall and start again.

I use docker daily, professionally, it has it's issues, but a lack of docker-compose like files and anecdotal reliability issues I've seen, I can't see it taking over from, or even competing with Docker for some time yet.
I wonder who had such a brilliant idea. Merging in competing whichever variant got to meet the spec the fastest? It's setting yourself to fail.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News. Especially not the low-information/high-indignation kind.
The title is misleading. The extra cone allows tetrachromats to appreciate individual colors that the normal optic system would “average” into a single hue. The visible spectrum is the same for tetrachromats: they cannot see infrared or ultraviolet wavelengths. These individuals see more color detail, not more colors.
I don't understand what subscriptions vs adverts has to do with being more or less democratic.

> Finally, because of his emphasis on control, Wiener could not foresee a technological world in which innovation and self-organization bubble up from the bottom rather than being imposed from the top.

I think this misunderstands the meaning of "control" in a control system / cybernetic sense, mistaking it for a more popular sense of the term. It's the difference between control-as-behaviour and control-as-power. The latter is strictly about humans, the former can include power structures but extends to any circular causality with at least one balancing loop.

Cybernetics thinkers were well aware of emergence and multi-layered autonomy. Some of them made it a central concept (eg Stafford Beer).

Lot of that water becomes land during the winter. You’d hope that the people of Nunavut, if anyone, would vote with concern for things like climate change affecting polar bears (which live, as it happens, exclusively in Nunavut.)

Mind you, the real point was just to include all the islands inhabited mostly by Inuit, since the point of the creation of Nunavut in the first place was to give the Inuit a voice when previously they were drowned out as a minority part of the NWT. It’s the “good kind” of gerrymandering, where a distinct population that has a clear geographic boundary gets its own representation.

>Podman provides a Docker-compatible command

- not when you're using docker-compose and have custom scripts for docker-compose

- lack of support from Linux distributions - only Fedora switched to Podman a few weeks ago and a few people at work where abandoned with their problems so they switched to Ubuntu and Arch

- still don't know how to self-host podman/quay repository locally - only paid services available - even for homelab - https://quay.io/plans/

- k8s/k3s integration - broken (for me?), never managed to make it work locally in homelab

I see absolutely no reason to ever switch to podman and quay as it's in current state.
It just has to be some repetitive physical activity that doesn't require intense thought or mental focus.

This can be chopping wood, taking a shower, walking, hiking, running, riding a bike, taking the dog for a walk, doing the dishes, etc.

The key is:

1. No particular mental focus

2. Some kind of physical movement

Your mind eventually starts to spin on autopilot, which is when it is able to mix things it can't while you're focused.

> if you want to get out of it

Note you're not just getting out of the tax, you're getting out of your church (or equivalent depending on religion). To take Catholic Church for example you can no longer get married in a church, cannot get a church funeral, can't be the godfather of a child or such.

The 30 Euro is just burocracy since the decision gets notarised. Same cost if you get married, a little less to get proof of residency. It's not meant as deterrent.

Personally I'd prefer state and church to be more separate here, even if it means double bookkeeping and extra cost (the Churches would have to deal with all the monthly money transactions). But the Wikipedia article goes into the historical context and it's unlikely to go away soon.
Disagree. They are not be able to perceive a larger spectrum of wavelengths but they may perceive more colors. Just like a person without green cones would be able to perceive fewer colors.

The possibility that Oracle might prevail keeps me awake some nights.

Oracle's "original software" is not. It is derivative of other work, for example, Smalltalk and its libraries. The idea of including explicit interface declarations with each module was, I think, introduced by the programming language SUE designed by Rick Holt.

Copyright does not protect ideas; copyright can only protect the expression. And when the two are intrinsically combined, there cannot be copyright.
I am not a specialist on AI, just had course on neural networks at university. Feel free to discard my opinion and do not reply if you find my way of thinking silly.

From what I see and understand, even if you have multiple layers of perceptrons and back propagation. It is still really "deeply lacking" because you are not able to train networks with all context there is. You can still overtrain network, so more training is making it actually worse. You can train NN only so much, just like you cannot teach dog to speak, it can perfectly fine understand your commands but you will never communicate with the dog on a level of "this painting is beautiful, you agree?".

I also do not believe in possibility of creating AGI.
If colorblindness is due to a lack of cones it seems the title isn't all that misleading.

I always wonder - how do organisations that help to find missing people handle the fact that some of the people may not want to be found? How do they avoid, for example, inadvertently helping an abusive partner find their victim who has run away to safety? Imagine having escaped and then seeing your photo on Twitter! By the time you ask them to stop it could be too late and people around you could have realised your past.

I'd like to point out that it's still not possible to support the Firefox browser with donations directly, in a crowdsourcing fashion. Donations to Mozilla Foundation don't go to Firefox which is supported only by search/sponsorship payouts from large corporations.

If these non-public APIs are so useful it feels to me that Apple is acting in an anti-competitive manner. They're allowed to use them for their own applications but deny third-parties the right to sell in the "Store" if they use the APIs. Sounds a lot like MSFT in the 90's...
If I'm not wrong, this is a continuation of Hofstadter's critique of the "new AI" (i.e., AI boom since 2006 based on machine learning) and how it is at odds with his conception of what needs to be done in order to move towards AGI based on ideas surrounding his book Godel, Escher, Bach [1].

Just to be nitpicky: the carbon dioxide molecules in the atmosphere of Mars (probably) have nothing to do with evolution. Unless you're a fan of cosmological natural selection (which I happen to be, but it's not a widely accepted theory).

Anyhow, without evolution we would still
have all of those things, we wound have just lost our ability to tell a convincing story for why they are the way they are.

It seems unlikely, but if an alternative explanation were too arise and be deemed more useful by biologists, then the study of that theory would also be biology.

In fact, it would still be biology if it were deemed less useful, it just might not make it into the textbooks in that case.

The people who use the phrase "sane subset" are those who in my experience distort C++ beyond recognition by banning particular features of the language wholesale rather than shaping the programs that they write to fit the environment.

You should be using the whole C++ language. There's no such thing as a "sane subset", because all of the language has "sane" uses. What you want is to create good programs.
I find it interesting that there are bazillion time tracking apps, and all of them seem to be doing well? :)
Expected value != expected utility.

Just taking this seriously pretty much resolves all these problems.

It makes sense to take high cost/reward, low probability events seriously if the expected utility works out. Examples include reducing existential risk substantially, even at cost to short-term utility (say, in the form of well-being) to increase the probability that we can eventually figure out how to optimally arrange matter and energy and trigger a utilitronium shockwave.
Could drone deliveries save the environment? Let’s unpack that
We had discrete logic in the late 60s that achieved toggle rates of a couple hundred MHz (ECL), it was just kinda expensive and needed loads of power. It was (and afaik still is) however widely used in aerospace/military applications (high standing currents and low impedance transmission lines probably make for excellent radiation and interference immunity) and used to be common in high end high frequency test equipment (e.g. counter/timers, synthesizers). I've heard ECL was also very popular for implementing cryptographic devices due to its low noise / switching transients.
