Blockchain vs. DLT: What's the Difference?
This is frankly a little wild to me. It's a low-angle photo, so it's meant to indicate that we are all beneath an authority figure, and to spread anxiety? Low-angle photos are common to the point of banality in non-insidious photography, and can communicate all sorts of generically positive feelings. It's a little disturbing that you're reaching this far to find something to attack.
Thank you! I have to say that, as a novice in image editing, I didn't had a lot of discoverability issues with the various tools.

(Using the IAM module because I'm lazy)

module "iam-user_foobar" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/iam/aws//modules/iam-user"
version = "2.3.0"
name = "foobar"
pgp_key = "keybase:foobar"
force_destroy = true
create_iam_user_login_profile = true
create_iam_access_key = false
password_length = "${var.password_length}"
}

This sets the users password then PGP encrypts the password with their keys from keybase. You can then use the module output to get the pgp encrypted password and pass it to the user (manually, email etc...).

Otherwise it will put the password in plaintext in the state, not a massive issue as you can set it to require changing next login. But eliminates the even slight chance of leakage.
All you’re achieving here is being sarcastic and rude. I’m calling you out because you responded to my personal story with condescension and insults. You can take the opportunity however you like, but “guess I struck a nerve” is a pretty old playbook and you should probably find a new one.
It does. CSGO game traffic is exclusively routed through Valve's relay network for example.

Why would it be just "poor non-graduates" subsidising "middle class kids"?

An potential extra tax burden can be allocated from wherever the government sees fit. Like a digital services tax or closing loopholes that are conveniently left open for global corporations.

Do you worry that the healthy poor people are subsidising the middle class sick ones through the NHS? Or that poor careful drivers are subsidising the cost of accidents for the middle class careless ones via their insurance company?

I am often curious what mental itch people are scratching with "zombie apocalypse" fantasies. It's clear at any rate that "zombies" are really "people it's okay to kill". It's as if people are hungering for a simpler, more brutal time where your problems are largely constrained to kill or be killed - a kind of civilization wanderlust. I do not think it is healthy.

I understand that there's a separate effort, but I don't see many blog posts about it, and I see that as something that should be prioritised.

Rust was partly created because most of the transistors on the computers are heavily underutilized, and multiprocessing with C++ correctly is extremely hard.

Rust compiler is written in Rust, so it would be a perfect showcase of taking advantage of the multi-processing safety of the language.

I know that there are global variables in the compiler that the compiler team is getting rid of, but at this point that should be the main focus, as I see that most of the easy huge gains of single-threaded improvements are over.

> Paying for traffic to be prioritized is the exact opposite of net neutrality

This is exactly what peering is a significant chunk of the time. You pay for better peering in the fees that you pay to the right server parks. If that's the exact opposite of net neutrality, it has been dead for a very long time.

Couldn't you just use income reported to the IRS? Then any odd payment scheme to get around repayment terms would necessarily be tax evasion, which is much more serious and lets you lean on the IRS for enforcement and legislation.

This article is long on drama and insanely short on actual solutions or ideas. The last part of the article "where to focus" is 1. build stupas, 2. revive ancient water systems 3. everyone gotta fight climate change together.

Another person here commented that there should be a efficient way to desalinize ocean water. there already is --look to the arab nations which have been doing it for decades -- and it can be efficiently and endlessly powered with clean nuclear energy.

if you're talking about "climate change" and clean nuclear isn't in the equation, you're not serious about getting off fossil fuels. solar and wind will not produce what is needed by humanity.

I just don't understand how it's a good investment. For the people that desperately needed the free $20, they probably immediately withdrew it and will not be building any blockchain apps in the near future. So what did Stellar even get? A few crazy people that use a very off-the-beaten-path chat app now know about it? I feel like the money could be better spent.

I also don't see how this works as a pump-and-dump to turn their ICO into actual United States Dollars. With the vast majority of people wanting hard currency instead of a cryptocoin... I feel like that can only drive the price down. Looking at some charts (https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XLM-USD/), XLM has been trending downward for a year. There is a small spike right around the time of the first airdrop. Maybe that was all they needed to make some money?

I don't really know but it all seems shady to me. I have decided not to hold this against Keybase; it's an experimental app for "stuff" that I don't have to pay for. I am still suspicious of cryptocurrency in general, and especially ones I haven't heard of like Stellar.
Agree with the other responder to this comment, this is BS. But oddly there are lots of passages in the actual article that directly refute this thesis, e.g.:

Ok, and? That’s not a sin or anything.

The most remarkable idea they had was that the jobs no one wanted to do should be compensated the most:

Submission post:

Hi HN! Long-time lurker and first-time poster here. Hope this tickles someones fancy!

After a serious learning curve I’ve just managed to launch 1.x of my first app and side project - “Receipt Runner" !

http://receiptrunner.com/

It’s so scary to put something out there!

Receipt Runner is a simple little thing that finds receipts for me (and you). It saves me 2-3 hours of work every month that would otherwise be spent searching for, finding, printing-to-pdf, and delivering receipts for all my digital expenses.

It should work with any Gmail / GSuite email and any bank. (Support for Office365/IMAP coming if demand is high enough!)

It’s built in Electron (shudder) and started life as a web app before I realised I would never trust a server with this kind of data. To work, it needs access to both your emails (!) AND your bank transactions (!!). So now it runs locally, and all data is kept on your own computer, 1999-style. Anxious to see if it’ll work out!

It’s taken me two years, a lot of work, and a lot of learning. I’ve probably made the most common mistake and done way too much work before putting it out there, but it’s out now! If no one else ends up using it, it’s at least excellent for my own use and I’ve learned a tonne.

Built with Electron, React, and Node.

Test it out and let me know if it works for you!
Sounds like real estate investment in high density and highly educated cities would be optimal here given your assessment. Any other opportunities you can see? Personally I think this may increase class mobility. A lot of middle class ____ Studies majors will be shifted down and creating opportunities/openings for those who didn't go to college and instead have trade skills and work experience
Essentially any vague-ish list on Wikipedia is pretty much a train wreck. Another one is something like "notable people" associated with some city or other. It can make sense for a small town that maybe has had only one of two of any reasonable note. But it's silly when applied to any sizable city. Yet it's exactly the sort of thing that encourages the sort of random drive-by additions that are one of the banes of Wikipedia generally.
Well deserved! I'm interested to see what the fallout from this will be, as climate change has ultimately become a politically divisive topic.
My points are:

1. Even software with no "accidental" complexity is necessarily complex (in fact, that's why it's useful).

2. If the manifesto's point is that we should stop over-complicating things, then wouldn't it better to first examine whether, and if so why, things are overcomplicated now, given that the previous generation also went on a crusade to abolish (over)complication? If the point is to declare "don't overcomplicate!" then, if you believe things are overcomplicated now, why is that declaration useful if it's clearly not effective?
The destruction of farms has nothing to do with soil erosion. It's all about government policy that has destroyed producer prices.

One example is the changes in terms how anti-trust policy has evolved over time. Today, cartels of produce buyers collude to keep prices low. There's also the lobbying and market pressures to transform away to manufactured food processes (fake meat, milk, etc).

The environmental devastation is yet to come, and it will come from the commodity crops that are depleting water tables.
If universities had to worry about students defaulting

Not just that. You can imagine additional benefits if the incentives of the parties involved are realigned. It would be in the interest of lenders to evaluate the readiness of students to attend college. This would potentially lead to better, less gamable testing.

It might make less sense, from a lender's perspective, for a student to go straight from high school to college. Instead perhaps they would want to see evidence from a couple of years of life outside of school that their loan would be repaid. The potential student would need to make a case to the lender and herself.
One main difference is anyone can buy a truck and start a shipment company. Unless you have a ton of cash you cannot lay down infrastructure for your own ISP and must pay someone else to sue theirs.

Also I am pretty sure a lot of our infrastructure for the internet was subsidized (via grants or what not) by the government for the big tel-co companies (I have been trying to find legit links to source, but in my quick limited search only found Reddit threads). If this is true, then we, the taxpayers, helped pay for the internet we use and should get at least net neutrality.

Just my opinion, probably wont match everyone else.
> they consume the majority of traffic

Do you have a source for that? Offhand, I would assume that video streaming would be an overwhelming majority of internet traffic.

Competitors are occupying the vast majority of the market. Apple laptops and desktops comprise about 12% in the US and significantly less abroad.

Comparable trackpads certainly do exist including all the gesture support in Windows or Linux. I have a lowly Acer E5-575G - a 5 year old machine at least - that provides exactly that. When was the last time you looked?

Windows 10 itself has perfect support for hidpi, better settings organization than macOS and I can't remember the last time I've had to update a driver in the past decade... So, what are your specific complaints about hidpi or settings organization?

You're right that Linux desktops aren't in the same league as Windows or Mac. They're actually much, much more flexible. I certainly put them in a different league after having switched. And I'm lazy. I wouldn't have switched if I had to fiddle with things all the time. I recommend Manjaro Linux with XFCE. I'll still use Windows for building Windows things or Macs for building Apple things. But that's just because of lock-in.

Apple can put a 20-30% higher price on some of their products due to a combination of brilliant marketing and technical lock-in. Some people have gotten convinced that there's nothing for them but macOS. You'd definitely see a lot less people on Apple hardware if macOS could easily run on "clones" again as it once did though. That's why Apple will sue anyone who tries to even goes so far as to start a professional service for installing macOS on non-Apple machines.
Is that a bad thing though? Modern CPUs seem to be incredibly reliable. I think much of the complexity has to do with the the fact that all the low hanging performance improvements have long since been implemented. To continue to get faster, sometimes the only option is to increase the complexity of the design.
My recent java experience is that you end up having to tune it and keep multiple versions and screw around a bunch if you’re doing more than one thing with it. Stick to Android dev and it’ll be fine after the initial config, but switch to something else or try to run some GUI java project off Github and you’ll lose time configuring it. I “nope” out of a lot of Java stuff as soon as I see it’s Java, as a result. If anything the situation seems a little worse than it was in, say, the ‘00s.

Except, that's not really "easy". I prefer typing with buttons, not having to pull up a picker and search for each character.

If small town 'murica is dying because no one is popping out 8 or more children, well, welcome to the modern world. Large families were required on family farms simply as a way of getting help, which is much reduced these days. And the children that are born into that life, see the bright city lights and the hustle and bustle of Des Moines and decide that is where they want to be.

Nope, small town America, as seen in The Music Man, is dead and gone forever. Nothing is going to halt its decline nor bring it back.
Only if all the libraries you use aren't JVM specific. In this case, the developer is using wrapper for a Java library so I doubt it's possible.

There's no reason the wrapper couldn't be enhanced to use the Java library on the JVM and something else on native but it would probably be a lot of work.
Yeah, it caught above the fold, but nothing more.

I was going to delete my comment above, but can't now that you've replied ;-)

The original article works for me, though the formatting is annoying (skinny left-aligned column).
Yeah, but they're Google. Their business model is lighting piles of cash on fire, then advertising to the crowd that shows up to watch the pile of burning money.
When a server sends some state to a player, they player can’t get a response back without a round trip. The same is true in reverse. Further, the path through fiber optical cables is not the strait nor are fiber optic cables a vacuum. Using lasers through a vacuum tube strait from the user to a server on the other side of the planet might hit 134ms of light lag which is already a significant issue for many games.

PS: LEO satellite constellations like Starlink have a lower theoretical latency around the world than fiber as the signals are traveling in space, but a longer path. Significantly beating that is going to require magic aka a useful fundamental change in the laws of physics as we know them.
Generate a script from the diff of _what_ exactly, the old and new schemas? How did you get to the "new" schema without some sort of migration?

SQLAlchemy does something like what I think you're describing (and is tightly coupled with the application-level ORM): you update attributes on the model classes, and then it generates a migration for you. But I've always had to manually edit those migrations by hand.

The Rails "migration first, model later" method feels much cleaner to me, but maybe that's just because I learned it that way.

Migrations are one of the most dangerous things I run on prod, so I'm always interested in better/safer ways of doing them.
Thing is that both are orthogonal concepts.
You can optimize a network for latency or for throughput.
A network optimized for latency can still be net neutral in concept and intention. Even an under-provisioned network that tries to fairly deal with optimizing for both low volume low latency applications and high volume latency tolerant applications at the same time while filtering out bad actors can still be net neutral.

Riot has their own network because they want a different kind of optimization than the traditional ISPs and Internet backbone providers aim for.

Network Neutrality was born out of the observation that dominant (read quasi monopoly/duopoly) were actively undermining offers from 'over the top' (meaning offered over the 'generic' Internet service rather than packets over a dedicated managed service offering from the ISP, think Netflix vs your ISP's own VoD offering) service providers by selectively shaping the traffic to degrade their offers. At the time, services such as Skype (pre-Microsoft acquisition) were their primary target as they impinged on the juicy profits from both traditional PSTN and ISP owned VoiP offers (ISP and Telcos were/are pretty tight).

The history of telecommunications has been a perpetual battle to reign in rent seeking natural oligopolies. To pretend no active fairness policies are needed or desirable is denying the obvious.

This by no means negates that lively and continual debates on exactly how to translate policy intentions and objectives into a real network fabric aren't necessary, as fairness is an emergent property relying on very many different punctual choices in configuration and deployment, the impacts of which can be detrimental to the objective both by accident or through deliberate obfuscation.
