This is why my gravity-fed rainwater hose does not always water my garden, which is about the same level of my cistern but travels via a dip midway (I figured the dip would remove bubbles once filled with water, but I was wrong...not sure how bubbles form: bacteria? Out gassing of warmed water).

Very frustrating.

I use a valve to bleed water near the dip by turning the valve on and off to hammer out the bubbles. Takes forever and I'd like it to be automatic (because I want my rain water cistern to overflow to my garden too. But I don't want to get rid of the bubbles by going outside in the rain, or going outside at night)
Only if it were completely compatible.

As they aren't, even new projects will often not use DynamoDB to avoid vendor lock-in
Naah, I just think it means that people will pay for a hosted Cassandra instance that wouldn’t migrate to DynamoDB.

Honestly having a SaaS and the hosting instances of your competing offerings is probably a good strategy.

I think Amazon realises that it is better for them to disrupt themselves, rather than someone else.
I'm sure someone could get you the info to get setup as a seeder. For modern clients it's rather rather trivial to manage that many torrents. Get any decent modern CPU, 4gb+ ram, and $560 in storage and you're off.

I don't know of any company "killed" by AWS, and I don't think that Datastax will be either.

I suspect that the advertising industry is offering the TV manufacturers incentives to add tracking "smarts". The dream of tracking TV ad views and even personalized TV ads is worth billions.
There are a lot of libraries and tools that interact with Cassandra. Having an API compatible service solves a lot of problems for companies that are already invested in Cassandra.
10 years is a long time, maybe until than its bought back to non-profit, you never know. Also it allows you the luxury of starting worrying about your migration later. If you could invest that money now with more than 4-5 times US interest rates (which is the price increase I would expect), then I would consider this a bad deal.
I'm incredibly thankful that the public library system was invented before copyright maximalists got control of Congress.

People use Cassandra. So Amazon is going to provide it.

It's weechat, I can't really claim all the credit, I found blog posts online about minimal setups and I've just kept it up to date. Nothing special.

Since I don't know how to easily package it I just took a tar of my .weechat and .config/alacritty directories, which should at least help you get started if you want an identical setup to mine. You just need to change your username in .weechat/irc.conf

Excited to see a managed open source offering with the same pricing paradigm as pay-per-request DynamoDB. I frequently encounter projects for which a Dynamo-style storage layer would be a natural fit, but often use RDS Postgres because I don't want to lock projects into the AWS ecosystem or sign teams up for operating their own Cassandra or Riak clusters.
Could you expand on why you, if I understood correctly, distrust CyberGhost?

It's getting hard to identify a trustworthy VPN provider, and CyberGhost seems to rate decently on thatoneprivacysite.net; in which, incidentally, I'm unsure whether to trust, although its VPN evaluation vectors do seem pretty appropriate and complete.

Yes, see this[0] for example.

If memory serves me right, the TLDR is that the more typical release management system can cause certain features to not be released as soon as they're ready, because other features that should go in a major release are not ready yet.

By removing the semantic component of release numbers and releasing often, this does not happen. Feature ready -> shipped soon.

Launch HN: Buy Me a Coffee (YC W19) – Give your audience a way to thank you
Hi HN!

We’re Joseph, Aleesha, and Jijo, the founders of Buy Me A Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com). We make it super easy to accept contributions and recurring memberships from your audience.

A bit of backstory - Joseph and I grew up in India. When I was 12, I started making a little bit of money from my blog, and it had a huge impact on my life. I got to buy books and gadgets, pay for web hosting, none of which I could’ve afforded otherwise. We built our first product in 2010. It was an ad network for bloggers called AdIndigo. There were a bunch of Adsense alternatives doing well at that time, and it grew to serve 6 million impressions at its peak. We later had to shut it down because of the expenses. Buy Me A Coffee is our third (and only successful) attempt at building for the creators.

When we started working on Buy Me A Coffee as a side project, it was a quick way to spin up a page or a button to accept one-time contributions. For artists, OSS developers, and YouTubers, it was an unobtrusive way to monetize their work. They appreciated the simplicity and friendly branding and started requesting more features. Some even noticed that they’re getting more contributions compared to a Patreon or PayPal button. It’s probably because of the no-signup-required payment flow. Supporters also get to leave a note after the payment, and it ends up becoming this ‘wall of love’ for creators.

Today, you can do a lot more with Buy Me A Coffee. You can accept recurring payments and give rewards in return. For e.g. Maria Shriver is using Buy Me A Coffee to monetize her newsletter ‘The Sunday Paper’ (https://thesundaypaper.buymeacoffee.com/) with a link in the footer of every edition. Slowly (https://slowly.buymeacoffee.com/) is a self-funded team using Buy Me A Coffee to accept contributions and feedback from their users. We also built Widgets that allow you to accept payments right from your website. Built-in email features let you share updates and rewards with your audience. We’re also working on a community feature to create a group chat with your supporters. Creators are already doing this with Discord and Slack, and we're excited to build something more focused.

We believe anyone, anywhere in the world who creates something that people find useful or entertaining, should have the option to get paid for their work.

We’re excited to hear all your questions and thoughts about Buy Me A Coffee :) Thank you!
Has Google actually claimed that these employees are the ones that leaked the information? The statements I've read, including the one above, do not explicitly say this. Rather, they say that some of the easily accessible information those employees looked at was leaked.

Either Google has proof that it was the fired employees and are being weirdly vague about it, or they don't actually know that it was them. If it's the latter, that is extremely scummy on Google's part to heavily imply it was those employees without proof.

AWS Neuron is a software development kit (SDK) enabling high-performance deep learning inference using AWS Inferentia custom designed machine learning chips. With Neuron, you can develop, deploy and run high-performance inference predictions with complex neural networks on top of Inferentia based EC2 Inf1 instances. Neuron is designed from the ground-up to allow for maximum scalability in optimizing both for throughput and latency for a wide variety of use-cases.

Neuron is pre-integrated into popular machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow, MXNet and Pytorch to provide a seamless training-to-inference workflow. It includes a compiler, runtime library, as well as debug and profiling utilities with a TensorBoard plugin for visualization. In most cases developers will only have to change a few lines of code to use Neuron from within a framework. Developers can integrate Neuron to their own custom frameworks/environments as well.
Vestager has zero power over this. ICANN's European employees are negligible, and ICANN discontinuing services to Europe immediately brings Europe's infrastructure down. Europeans legislators should really accept that they fucked themselves on this, because they could start taking preventative measures. They won't, though.
One of your points is that an encoding designed to handle languages has support for more than one kind of white space.

No. It is that there is more than one kind of invisible character. No language has invisible characters.

Another one is that a standard designed to support all languages has a feature necessary for supporting some languages.

Not sure what point you are misreading here. But that was not among my points.

Does the fact that some Microsoft employees, even those in positions of influence, remain from that time matter? Does the fact that there are new successful employees, with entirely new ideas about products and management, matter?

The article demonstrates that Microsoft is a complex organization with both good and bad and is changing for the better even if it has a way to go.

Supporting the good and praising Microsoft for what they're doing well is going to make Microsoft better. Crapping on what they're doing well because of actions from 20 years is not rational or helpful.

Last time I checked ptnet (a few years ago) I think it was still one of the few channels with some people in it.

I was very much on local and punk channels. I guess at some point half the people I knew / hangout with in meat space were from IRC.

Also had one of my most successful websites at that time (2001)... I guess only 3 years ago starting working on something with as many pageviews.
A screen reader is looking at the text as it is rendered. Note that I said CSS-based ad blocking, which is really what the blog post was about. A more advanced ad blocker could certainly find the "Sponsored" text and hide the ad.

I don’t see a TV doing 24/7 password cracking. Most WiFi passwords are now relatively complex out of the box and a TV would never have a realistic chance of cracking one. And while collecting data is maybe immoral, hacking passwords is as illegal as it gets.

It would be orders of magnitude cheaper and safer to build in 4G connectivity and use it to upload the relatively small payloads.
Definitely exciting news! For some reason I was picturing that you might have difficulty building things like xgboost or getting an optimized version of BLAS, but that doesn't seem to be the case. (the former is supported and the latter is important enough that ARM ships their own version)

IMO no. Amazon just offers what people use.
I'm the opposite - I use Chrome for general browsing and Firefox for development. Firefox's developer tools are better for the types of work I do.
We need...

1. A code-point that starts a fraction.
2. A code-point that separates the numerator from the denominator.
3. A code-point that ends the fraction.

So the sequence [START]x[SEP]y[END] would be rendered with x above the y with a line separating.

[START][START]x[SEP]y[END][SEP]z[END] would be a fraction with a fraction inside.
Hasn't this been amazon's MO the last couple years? Competition with their in-house versions hasn't prevented AWS from building anything before.

It's not really an admission that one is "better" than the other, it's just an admission that people like managed drop-in replacements for tools that they're already using.
Maybe you do want to think about the power relationship with parents and siblings and coworkers as things happen and as conversations take place. I don’t.

There may come times when I think this or that sibling is favored or given the short shrift, but not in every single interaction.

As Zizek asks, what do you do the day after the revolution?

Most people just want to go about their daily business. Most people don’t want to have on going never ending political processes like some revolutionaries do, just because they can’t abandon that mode.

It's about freakin time. Dynamo's lack of query language has always been a pain point for me. Congrats AWS team!
We begged Datastax to provide a managed service in AWS. We used Datastax for consulting and for their repackaging of Cassandra with admin tools. After perpetual pain with Cassandra management, and little belief that Datastax would enter the market for managed services, we eventually decided to stop everything and rewrite to Dynamo.
And that makes TVs cheaper a little bit than lobotomized not monetised alternatives. Users don't see the hidden cost when looking at two TVs with same specs but slightly different prices.
The volume isn't a real problem, but nearly half a cubic meter of gold should also have a mass of ~7500 kilograms. You're also looking at a cost of ~$350 million, US.

Basically as another channel. When a thread is spawned or someone comments on a thread (and checks the box to echo to channel) then you'll see a thread ID (which is usually three characters).

If you type /thread <3 chars> then weechat will open a buffer in the thread which makes it appear as if it's just another channel basically. Albeit with no name other than the randomly assigned 3 chars.
I think it's more about conventional gender roles, the gender pay gap, the fact that many women are scared to do things outside alone, than anything specifically manly about it.

>Remember pager duty and overtime pay? Doesn't that seem quaint now that many people seem to have accepted that they must make themselves available at all times?

I'm too young to remember, but I have a few years of working experience under my belt now. The amount of people that greenlight everything a supposed authority demands of them just baffles my mind. I'm not even mad if a company tries to maximize their gain on the expertise that I bring to the table. That's just the game: You work for what's in your best interest, I work for mine. But when you push back against a perceived worsening of workplace conditions and the people not supporting you are your colleagues, because they somehow see themselves as being on the same side as the boss... I'm kind of sad about the social achievements people are willfully throwing away in the hopes that they themselves will 'make it' one day

And by the way, this is coming from someone who loves his job and has a good relationship with his boss. Doesn't mean I have to be delusional about what's going to happen when push comes to shove
Perhaps, but the issue you're having is indeed a lack of moderation. And IRC does not lack moderation tools.
PG&E's in Chapter 11. In Chapter 11 bankruptcy the company continues operating as if nothing had happened. (Well, except that there may be layoffs and work furloughs if the company lacks sufficient cash to pay salaries, and they're probably not making major capital investments.) What changes is the capital structure - the payments due to creditors and dividends paid to shareholders. Basically the company is saying "Well, guess we don't have the money to pay all our debts, so nobody's getting anything until we work out a new arrangement that we can actually support with our assets and cash flows." In this case the bankruptcy was triggered by court judgments that found PG&E liable for the 2018 fires, so the bankruptcy means that the court settlements are suspended while another court figures out who's going to pay for them.

In practice, what often happens during Chapter 11 proceedings is that the stock goes to nearly zero (it's close but not there yet with PG&E), on the assumption that many of the common stockholders will be wiped out and the debt recapitalized as shares. Bonds also become very risky, as bondholders expect that they may not see all of the principal repaid. Assets can be sold off to pay creditors - this is part of the negotiations in the bankruptcy proceedings. But ordinary workers largely keep on doing their jobs, though there's a big cloud of "will there be layoffs or not?" surrounding it.

It's very rare (and almost unheard of in the U.S.) for a private corporation to be nationalized and taken over by the government; the government generally is not in the business of running complex operations, other than the military. Even in the financial crisis of 2009, bankrupt organizations were recapitalized by the government (where the government basically took over the debt and wiped out existing shareholders) rather than seized (where the government installs its own people and takes over operations).
The flyer has lot of anti-intuitive designs for example 6 massive fans whirring around the pilot.

What if there is bird strike or the blades somehow dismantle from the fan and fly towards the pilot.

Also this being made for non professional pilots/passengers what if a passenger tries to board/de-board while the fans are still spinning?

At this point, I assume the aircraft keeps morphing into whatever the next iteration of managers/designers deem highest priority to keep the company afloat

Having a few of these things, in isolation, would be no cause for alarm. It's all of them taken together and stashed away in a bedroom, along with the bizarre behavior of both Morley and the FBI, which makes it seem very suspicious.
Ask HN: Reverse Bootcamp Idea
I keep thinking about this so I thought to ask HN's opinion. We all know what bootcamps do. They charge you to train you and then you hope to get a job at a good company.

As a bootstrapped SAAS founder, I am finding it very hard to try and attract experienced talent as I cannot pay the high salaries for senior folks. However, I can afford to pay 60-70K USD/Year with profit sharing options. The issue is that you have to work with us in our office at least for first few months before I am comfortable doing remote.

So I thought of an idea where I would run a web dev bootcamp as an employer. I will pay entry level folks to join the bootcamp and out of the batch, I will then hire the best candidates once bootcamp is over. So there really is no downside to the bootcampers. They get paid to learn but I get to choose who I want to hire from that batch. Win win ?
Planned Parenthood and NPR
Master stroke! Especially the pricing and autoscaling. Till they brought autoscaling and pay as you go pricing for DynamoDB, Google cloud data store was superior product (at least on paper) as you didn't need to think about preprovisioning the capacity. It is supposed to just scale. They have brought the same model to Cassandra. So no vendor lock in!

Also one of the reasons small projects stayed away from Cassandra is the requirement of an hefty cluster to get decent performance out of it. That too is taken care by AWS and made Cassandra much more accessible.

Now only thing that needs to be seen is how good this AWS product is. Especially for first year many AWS services get very average reviews.

This seems to be very good for people who don't want to be locked in to DDB. The prices are very similar to DynamoDB(slightly higher), and the model is pay as you go.

Prices:
Managed Cassandra:

Write request: units $1.45 per million write request units

Read request: units $0.29 per million read request units

Storage: $0.30 per GB-month

Dynamo DB On Demand:

Write request: units $1.25 per million write request units

Read request: units $0.25 per million read request units

Storage: $0.25 per GB-month
