Haven't had to work with k8s yet, but that flow chart looks really detailed. It must have taken much effort to make it, that makes me wonder, for how long shall it remain current? Will 6 months down the line it become invalid in subtle manner that it can only add to the confusion.

>Stop using chrome. Honestly, wtf?! Firefox is awesome.

I think plenty of people have found Mozilla to have made some poor decisions over the years. It feels as though you have to choose between two options that aren't great, so is there a point in switching? Take the add ons situation. At least on Chrome I can run my own add ons.
Sure, but if you tweak the recipe it’s no longer the original drink and instead is something else. A Negroni is 1:1:1, that’s not the same as saying that’s the perfect balance
> Proxmox is robust from GUI and CLI.

I'm looking through the CLI docs now and I can't even figure out how to launch a VM. At face value, it doesn't look like a good CLI (well actually they list a bunch of CLI tools for VM management). Am I just looking in the wrong place?

I also want the ability to run setup commands (think AWS user-data) at first boot. The docs indicate user-data support though cloud-init, but I see forum discussions that indicate that you can only set up basic things like IP addresses, SSH keys, etc. Is there a programmatic way to inject bash commands at first boot?
Wouldn't that happen just as much with appointed judges? You vote for a liberal/conservative councillor or mayor or state rep or governor, they appoint a judge who has suitable views, but who may not be charismatic enough to win an election.
> Does the adage "Never talk to the police" hold elsewhere/everywhere?

We have better protections in the US against self-incrimination than most other 1st world countries. In most other places I'd talk to a lawyer first but plan on talking to the police once I had counsel.
While I agree that alarmists who think the world is ending in 10-20 years are wildly off-base, Shellenberger is badly understating things at times.

He asked an IPCC scientist about what was unmanageable about a 3 ft+ sea level rise, and after said scientist explained the numerous serious scenarios his glib conclusion was:

"In other words, the problems from sea level rise that Oppenheimer is calling “unmanageable” are situations like the ones that already occur, such as in the days following Hurricane Katrina, where societies become temporarily difficult to manage. (Katrina killed over 1,800)."

This is a really bad hot take. Number one, Hurricane Katrina was a one-time weather event. Sea level rise means you're always going to be dealing with trying to hold back the sea. In parts of the world that are already struggling with poverty, how are they gonna come up with the billions of dollars to engineer, build, and maintain sea walls and dykes?

And that's not even getting into the fact that if you're starting out with much higher sea level, storm surge is gonna cause that much more damage. On top of that, significantly warmer seas are going to cause much stronger storms.

People displaced by said consequences of climate change are going destabilize governments and/or cause conflicts. There are many hot spots in the world where long standing tensions could burst into open conflict if a climate-related disaster or crisis hits.
Call me when Edge is on OS X or Linux (and ideally open-source, like Firefox). I imagine a lot of the hn userbase, myself included, doesn't rely on Windows for their day-to-day work.
That's a silly way to read what I said.
I respectfully disagree that this is specific to the US. I think it has been an issue everywhere throughout history.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great thing when a country overcomes it and manages to create a fair, even-handed justice system.

But human nature is to want to see something done about it when crimes happen. That's why before formal justice systems existed (and still today in certain undeveloped areas), a mob would form and just take out -- as in kill -- the suspect on the spot. Without really being sure that they were guilty.

The idea of deferring punishment, recognizing and protecting the rights of the accused, and conducting a fair, orderly trial is a wonderful thing, but it's not the default. It's really more like an achievement in human evolution.
An argument to choose FF over Edge, or other chromium based browsers is to try to maintain diversity in the browser market share. Right now Chrome dominates, but if the domination switches a split between Chrome, Brave, and Edge, there is no new diversity in the rendering and Javascript engines. Google can still push things that aren't friendly to an open and standardized web.

Another seriously nifty thing it would do if you allowed it to was to collect rss feeds from sites you visited and magically sift out stuff it knew I would be interested in.
The complete site including HTML, CSS, JS, and most importantly the actual data are all bundled together and served directly in response to a single HTTP request. Your browser doesn't need to make a bunch of extra requests requiring round trips and load a bunch of JS libraries before displaying the data.

I'm using IP geolocation to make this possible, which is imperfect (though surprisingly good), and I allow you to override it with optional geocoding or the HTML5 geolocation API.
Well the words are taken from math but means something different in programming. A statement in math have a truth value, so it would actually correspond to an expression rather than a statement in programming.

Saying that a statement in programming is similar to a statement in math (or law or politics or whatever) would be more confusing than informative.
> I block ads on the web because web advertising networks proved that they had no respect for user privacy, lacked security controls around their ad delivery, and were targeting using data that they probably shouldn’t have had access to.

You may have this stance, but most people doesn't, even though your argument is the one that you hear the most, it's just that people that doesn't care about stealing content takes argument from all around to justify themselves.

I wish people would just avoid content that doesn't fit their criteria instead of just acting like we deserve that content for free. I got an auto playing video ads twice over Engadget and I stopped going there quickly after informing them about it.
Love this kind of tweaking!

Related and in the same manner is to make PCB antennas slightly longer than what you think you need, then tune by shortening (ie cut it with a knife) mm by mm and measure. When you get the desired freq response, this length is what you'd use in the next/final revision of the hw.

But that's probably only the most low-cost designs - I think most use a pi matching network: https://coil32.net/online-calculators/pi-matching-network-ca... since it gives more flexibility and can cope with more severe impedance mismatches.

(this is on sub-/2.4 GHz, don't know how it works for much lower or higher f)
If that’s not what the question was supposed to be about, rephrasing the question, is the best way to get the conversation back on track.

As written, the question positions a discussion about the uses of surveillance technology and the social side-effects as an accusation that people with concerns are against “punishing burglars.”

The problem here is with that kind of, “So, you’re in favour of more crime” rhetoric. In the past, that has been used in extremely dangerous ways.
I have wondered what those dots are for, but never asked. Thanks for posting an informative article.

Another thought: you could use this to have an AI make a best attempt at answering a text/email for you and then ask for human acceptance/rejection/editing. I know some messaging apps have suggestions based on the last message sent to you, but I'm not aware of any that suggest responses based on your specific history of language use.
Restoring Dignity to Stolen Ancestors
Applications are the real "end" in end to end, and TLS is already e2e. Good TLS does thwart this attack; an attacker still can't generate a valid certificate.

It's taken a lot of focus and attention to make TLS reliable enough to make it a default in browsers, and DNSSEC is not particularly close. DNSSEC supports out-of-date cryptography and has no negotiation mechanisms to avoid them, which makes it very hard to use as a default e2e security protocol. It also doesn't encrypt anything.
You're right, I was misreading your original post, and thought you were referring to the new traction laws. I sit corrected. :-)
Some people use it for everything, but I think it really shines in writing documents with heavy mathematical content due to the straightforward math syntax.

There was a paper posted here a couple months ago that claimed that even expert LaTeX users wrote documents slower than novice Word users, but the interesting caveat is that LaTeX users were far faster across the board when the text included a lot of math.
If you are interested in the topic, i can highly recommend "A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror" from Alfred McCoy for an analysis how torture changed and how it works today.

I'd like to see a "vote with your wallet/attention" style search engine, where you can exclude certain sites from showing up based on the underlying and associated tech they use, and prefer sites that use tech you personally support, similar to ingredients lists on supermarket products. There is so much informational content out there that this kind of filtering wouldn't impact the user experience.
Minutely so. Tesla’s model 3 is 200kg (~400 pounds) heavier than BMWs equivalent 3 series. Don’t think the tire wear due to that difference will make much of a difference...

Yes, 100% at my Co now, we are (not just lip service) customer focused. After some bumps we got a new dev, was unhappy at the old places, specifically about that empowerment. Now the customer to dev feedback loop it tight and they are enjoying it - and it shows from the contribution.

I fully agree on that being a major strength of k8s. Looking at the resource manifests gives a ton of insight into how a system is supposed to function.
Yes there is a point to switching. Mozilla is 10000000x more on our side.
It's the verbal likeness of having a bust of them carved out though. From some literary angle there is certainly a similarity, but the AI in this case doesn't know that it functions or why. It's as if you've trained a baby to say all the things that someone used to say, and nothing more.
“White Women Tears”–Critical Theory on Lindsay Shepherd (2017)
And as far as the "little guy" goes, there is plenty of research on network science which shows that the (original) Page Rank algorithm does not provide meaningful rankings for anything except big guys. The algo accurately scores/ranks the most connected web pages, but scores for the "long tails" which make up 95% of the web are pretty close to random.
Best practice for preventing traffic analysis is to send encrypted messages of a constant size, at a constant rate. It's better to pad to a max size, than to randomize the packet length. Sending at a constant rate may not always be feasible or cost-effective, but it can still be useful to send data at a constant rate for a minimum block of time.
> Except renewables cannot deliver a whole network, so it does not.

Solar and wind need to be paired peaker plants. Conventional nuclear doesn't provide peaking ability.

Battery powered peakers are quite expensive, but the need for them can be reduced drastically through over-provisioning and interconnection.

Preach brother preach!

I made this move myself many months ago & never looked back. There is basically nothing I miss about dropping chrome/ google search. My web experience is indiscernible using Firefox & DDG.

One of the only minor things I've had to adjust to is prefixing searches with my local city & state when I'm searching for things in my hometown (Imagine that! My search engine website isn't tracking my physical location!). A small price to pay for a HUGE gain in privacy & peace of mind, knowing I'm no longer being exploited and rolled up into a package, sold to advertisers.

I got so sick of seeing targeted ads in EVERY website I visit. Something I searched the day before. Maybe a website I visited a few days ago. Then I have to look at ads for those things for the next week straight!? No thanks.

After making two super easy changes, Chrome -> Firefox & Google search -> DDG, I almost NEVER see creepy, annoying targeted ads anymore. It's amazing!
> - Messing up certain cases of dependency resolution such that you'd get a different version than NPM would give you.

NPM can mess up it's own dependencies, or give you different dependencies on different machines. It's algorithm is (was?) non-deterministic.

> - Local package problems of several sorts

I use yarn with lerna to keep a monorepo of local packages together, it works pretty well. At the time, npm didn't.

> - All of the above and more sometimes causing a dependency that worked under npm to fail with misleading error messages due to bad interactions between that package and yarn.

Never ran into anything like this. Show me a package that doesn't work with yarn

Yarn gave npm some much needed competition and made npm improve a bit. Before yarn, npm didn't even have lockfiles. Having both is good, but I've just had less issues with yarn overall.
So as an ex police officer, why do you think your ex colleagues did stuff like this? i.e. Intentionally twist someone's statement or lull them into a false sense of security to say something that will be intentionally misinterpreted?

I know policing is just a job, but given that the impact of your actions can and often screw the lives of innocent people, with no opportunity for recourse on top of that, why do (many?) police officers not feel any responsibility to do the right thing?

You don't hear of doctors and nurses being so callous in their jobs, or at least the rate of incidence seems to be orders of magnitude lower compared to law enforcement.

In your opinion, what can be done to improve the system? Would making it easier to file and win lawsuits against the police/prosecution for incompetence/malpractice help? (similar to doctors)

Ask HN: Meeting with VC, what should I say?
Trying to get funding to develop an open protocol to build atop Chrome, basically building rich plugins that can do things that aren't normally possible with DevTools or Chrome Extensions API. Instead of factoring out layers of this and pre-maturely working out how to turn these layers into businesses to self-fund, I want to focus on making the protocol as good as possible, so other people can build on this.

I want to double down on the good will I've already got on GitHub (> 500 stars) and making something that's really useful. I don't have a plan to make money, but I think the way to do it eventually could be to offer value added services atop the OSS projects (such as managed hosting for secure remote browsers, or plugins that do things like record and playback bug reports, or any arbitrary automation, to name some ideas I'm currently implementing).

I have pretty low confidence because I applied to YC with a few different ideas over the years and was always rejected, never got past the rejection email template. So I sort of doubt that I'm able to build anything people want. But I know I can build and code things, and I believe in what I'm doing.

I can't believe I finally got a meeting with a super A++ VC and I'm very nervous I'll ruin this chance. So I want to hear from people who can relate to how I feel and who have been through VC meetings and come out successful to share what they think I should do.
As a cyclist, I still find it very hard to breathe when a truck passes me (worst are motor scooters going uphill), and would welcome such a reduction in particulate emissions.
I guess that the size of those particulates is not the same either (tires and ICE).

Last article or paper I read on the topic counted particulates drafted from the ground as emissions, which of course EVs do not reduce much. But there's still much less nocive emissions, and doesn't smell as bad...
Question is, do you want a book about the input factors to how people end up leading, or one on evaluating the output effects of other leaders against?

Leadership is not an activity or an action you can mimic, it it is an effect. Most books are the stories people tell afterwards about how virtuous they were and they call that leadership. Jeffery Pfeffer says this specifically as well.

Pfeffers books on management provide the insight into the dynamics leadership emerges from. His triad of, "performance, credentials, and relationships," that describe power in a situation also describe the necessary factors we look back on as leadership.

https://www.amazon.ca/Power-Some-People-Have-Others/dp/00617...

I like Jocko Willnick's whole attitude about ownership, respect, delegation, and working with people to leverage their skills to achieve outcomes. He says the hierarchy in the military isn't as much of a factor as how you relate to your team and the world, but I suspect Pfeffer would disagree in that its hierarchy and training culture provides the credential piece in his triad, where in business, that's more dynamic.

There are lots of good books about leadership, but reading them without having read Pfeffer's "Power.." is exploring the territory without the map, imo.
You 100% tuned your hyper parameters and LM for librespeech, and only using librispeech data probably helped the result. When you start training systems for LVCSR it's normal for the WER to go up on some test sets. (This is why you can never expect a commercial system to get SOTA on librispeech, despite it being much better system in reality)

Person B would have to spend 30*8 = 240K, and thus does not even have enough to cover this.

(In reality, things are not eight times as expensive, and as such your argument actually holds, but it does not seem to hold just as you phrased it.)
This is why Supreme Court justices are appointed for life. At least in theory, they'll carry out their job impartially because they don't have to run for re-election. They'll hold their position long past when the current administration so any conflict of interest should be mitigated over time. Directly electing judges has its own set of problems. I'm not trying to argue for one way over the other, just pointing out that the executive branch appointing judges is not inherently wrong.
It is always easy to think these things come down to individual's behaviour when systematic pressures and biases can play as big a role if not larger, e.g. pushing for arrest rates.

7.5% WER is much much worse than the state of the art, but it's also important to recognize that LibriSpeech is kind of a ridiculous data set. It's 1000 hours of volunteers reading public domain novels out loud. It's very unlikely to match your use case. It's widely used in academia purely because it's larger than other freely available data sets.
