Interior Design Ideas for a Small Office in 2020(Updated and Revised)
It’s hard to imagine what the response is going to be. I don’t think a lot of people realize who this guy was or what this represents. (A lot of people are probably confused about what an Iranian general is doing in Iraq in the first place.)

I can only hope for the best outcome being something like Iraq asking us to leave, and then largely falling into the fold of Iran. And hopefully that not being opposed by the US (unlikely) and it being all the victory Iran needs. Maybe something like that.

The alternative at a minimum is going to be many more lives lost and billions spent. At the other end of the spectrum tens of thousands of US lives, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Iranian lives, and trillions more in US dollars thrown on the fire.

Datomic is interesting in the context of event sourcing, because it can be thought of as a highly generalized event store system itself, with each database transaction being an event.

I am surprised to see no one has put in a good word here for the buntline hitch[1], which is very handy for tying a rope to something fixed (and also happens to be a standard necktie knot).

The US is an enormous importer of oil. We import 8 million barrels every day. And that is priced internationally. Do you think CCI and Mayan priced markets aren't going to sell us crude at a discount.

Cable ties / zip ties are often better when you need to change the configuration of wires (cutting the zip tie, moving the wires around, and setting new ties up).

Zip ties are more prone to overtightening, but as long as you are aware of the overtightening problem, there's probably no real reason to avoid them.

The main advantage of knowing cable lacing is that it generalizes. There are many long-objects that benefit from the cable-lacing knot. For example, a rope can secure a bunch of 2x4 together using the cable-lacing technique. Any "long lengthwise bundle" of objects can benefit from cable lacing.
> never once found an airport that would rent without a checkout.

I've never heard of an insurance requirement for the checkout, so I believe it's an FBO requirement. I think it's reasonable because local procedures vary, but that invalidates the OA business model.

Also, FBOs vary in expectations. I've rented at some places where tow bar use was 100% mandatory, and others that didn't own any and just said, "push at the wing root."

In Hawaii there's no cross-wind limits, and in California if the wind sock flutters, everybody's grounded.
I disagree that it's easier to tie, especially if you're rappelling at night. The EDK is dead simple, it's literally an overhand knot on two ropes. You can do it with your eyes closed. It's also the easiest knot to quickly inspect for correctness by your climbing partner.

There are two basic classes: knots on slippery material like monofilament and knots on ordinary stranded or braided line.

Fishermen have worked out good knots for monofilament, but they jam when used with stranded line.

The strength of a knot or bend in stranded line can be predicted without technical analysis by looking at the curvature of the line as it passes through the knot. The tighter the curve, the lower the breaking strength. The strongest bends, like the Zeppelin, have very soft, symmetrical curves. They are also the easiest to untie.

OK these are some a very long predictions:

- At least one East Asian country out of {singapore, south korea, japan, china (ROC or PRC)} legalizes Cannabis.

- Microsoft extends the dominance it began in late 2010 decade. C# and F# eclipse Java as enterprise programming solutions.

- Google runs into some major trouble and loses considerable market share; the biggest tumble comes on the heels of an internal, employee-led revolt or schism.

- While we're at it, Kubernetes goes out of style, replaced by something out of Microsoft (that is not on our radar at the moment).

- The US is in the first five nations with population greater than 50M to meet its Paris Accord CO2 targets, despite having left the Paris Accord.

- Early 2020s: Brexit unexpectedly results in the UK narrowly escaping the worst of a major economic collapse in Europe, led by or concurrent with the collapse or bailout of Deutche Bank. Of course this spreads to the rest of the world, but if we say put it in quantitative terms the relative, GDP normalized damage to the UK is less than the damage to each of: Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Denmark.

- Quantum computing goes through an explosive growth in qubits for the early half of the decade, topping out at around 10,000-100,000 qubits, followed by 2-3 year linear phase, and then diminishing-return, sublinear improvements through the close of the decade. Researchers begin talking about a 'QC winter' like which we saw AI go through.

- NASA disqualifies the Boeing Starliner from flying after astronauts refuse to man it.

EVs will surpass ICEs.

US is the largest oil producer as of last year, they're on the way to being net exporter, they mostly import and finish Canadian oil. US is energy secure as of last year, which is why they've been so emboldened in ME. I do agree that cyber attacks and other costly blowback is on the horizon. This is certainly extremely troubling development.

E: Sorry account seems to be rate-limited?

US net exported crude and other petroleum in September and is projected to be sustained net exporter in the next year. I'm not suggesting they are completely inoculated against global energy market shift, but they have nominal guaranteed energy security because USNavy can protect all those transit routes. Whereas China, Japan, Korea, most of Europe with limited blue water projection capabilities would struggle very hard to maintain ME oil access if Iran decides to start tanker wars in the Hormuz.

Didn't they have a very long war in the 80s?
It wouldn't matter. Two things are required to trigger the clause.

1. The GPLv3 object code has to be conveyed "in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product", and

2. This must occur "as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient".

The "User Product" in your argument is still the computer, and so unless you are buying the computer itself from the App Store at the same time as the app you are buying, the second condition is not met.

The definition of "User Product" in GPLv3 might seem a little puzzling at first. There are two kinds of things that count:

1. "any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes", or

2. "anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling".

There is no definition of "dwelling" in GPLv3, so it is going to be given its ordinary meaning which according to Oxford is "a house, apartment, or other place of residence".

#1 already covers any tangible personal property used for personal, family, or household purposes, and since dwellings are places of residence it might seem that anything incorporated into a dwelling would also be covered by #1.

So what is #2 actually getting at?

The answer, I'm sure, is fixtures. A fixture is physical property that is permanently attached to real property. Crucially, if something is a fixture then it is not considered to be personal property and so does not fall under #1 of the "User Product" definition.

Unless the sales contract specifically says otherwise, fixtures go with the house, and personal property goes with the seller.

Nowadays a lot of things that include software might be fixtures. Some things that might be considered fixtures and might also have software in them:

1. Thermostats.

2. Smoke alarms.

3. Security cameras.

4. Appliances.

5. Lighting fixtures.

(I'm not saying that they are fixtures. In some houses they might be fixtures and in others they might not be, depending on how they were installed).

Without #2 in the "User Product" definition, manufactures of those things might be able to include locked down GPLv3 firmware without trigger the "anti-tivoization" clause.

I say "might be able to" because those things aren't fixtures until they get attached to the house. A thermostat sitting in a box on the shelf at Home Depot is not a fixture at that point. It only becomes a fixture when someone installs it.

This would probably cover it under #1, closing the loophole.

But what if the thermostat is not sold through stores like Home Depot? What if instead you have to buy it through the manufacturer, which sends an installer to install it, and only conveys ownership to you after it has become a fixture? This could probably be done in a way that evades #1.

#2 shuts down such shenanigans.

What I'm puzzled by is what about things that are neither personal property used "for personal, family, or household purposes" nor for incorporation into dwelling?

Would it be OK for Boeing or Airbus to Tivoize the software in their planes and still use GPLv3 code in it? Can John Deere use GPLv3 code in its combines and Tivoize it?

This US is nowhere close to net crude export. We export refined products and NGL. We have reduced dependency on ME crude, yes, but Mexican and Canadian market are priced internationally and are not captive sellers.

edit: to discourage deep threading they don't show the reply button in a thread for a cooling off period.

edit 2: the "US net exported crude and other petroleum [products] in September" statement does not appreciate "other petroleum products" part. The US imports lots of crude from Mexico and Canada (and the ME), and export the refined products because of the US's very large refining capacity and pipeline/terminal infrastructure. We also create NGL as a fracking byproduct since the lighter fractions don't have the domestic demand but can be collected and shipped in economically. This isn't even getting into the tail production economics of a fracking well and if it is viable long-term. In any case, the September news isn't as positive as it sounds.

Ask HN: What is the best durable storage medium for critical data backup?
I'm evaluating my current backup and security stance for personal use. My biggest concern right now is backing up keys, recovery codes, and my Keepass password file. There are also some documents I'd like to make sure I preserve.

I have copies of these things on multiple devices and I am currently syncing important documents through OneDrive. I don't really like being tied to Microsoft for this.

I am planning on a NAS at home and encrypted backup (likely to Backblaze, but I'm open to other alternatives if y'all have suggestions).

I'd like to also back up critical documents and data offline periodically - something I could keep in an alternative location. Additionally I'd like to be able to give a copy to my next of kin in case of my unfortunate demise. My understanding is that flash drives and hard drives might suffer from bitrot if disconnected for long periods of time.

Should I be considering optical media? Are there any major differences in terms of retention?

Would an old spinning rust hard drive be sufficient?

I expect that this would likely sit unpowered for months to potentially years. I would like to update - would rewritable optical media be as durable as write-only?

Thanks!

I'm also open to any other thoughts on disaster recovery storage.

Sure, and many will use this false quivalence to excuse voting for Republicans. When they are now (again) starting a war in the middle east.

In between, the Obama administration managed to sign a deal that effectively ended the nuclear program and markedly reduced Iran's aggressiveness in the region.

But sure, the everyone-is-bad shtick gets so many points for contrarianism it easily compensates for the lack of truth.

(Indictment-of-the-public-sphere-aside: It's quite funny (but potentially deadly) that this cynical worldview has long gained the upper hand. Everyone still pretend to have heard it for the tenth time that day because they also like to see themselves as the rebel with thier own brain.)

Unfortunately, Warren, oder Sanders, or AOC, or whoever will be the next democratic President won't have the option of a negotiated settlement anymore: 200 years of the US' word having meaning beyond the duration of the administration giving it are gone. Lost the world's trust, and thereby access to such transactions, all for what? Because that plan that was essentially what Trump says he wants now just happened to be associated with the wrong guy.

The article talks about a few things that they call inventions, like making interconnections across what would normally be scribe lines. But I personally worked on wafer scale integration about 25 years ago and we were already doing that. We called it inter-reticle stitching. The technology was ancient back then - 0.5 micron feature size on 4 inch wafers - but the wafer scale techniques are applicable to modern technologies. In particular, developing a yield model that informs your on-chip redundancy choices and designing built-in self test and selection circuitry so that you can yield large chips. The chip we developed was so large that only two would fit on a wafer. We got 50% yield on a line that was far from mature at the time. The company lacked the vision to do anything with what they had developed. To them it was just a chip for which there were few customers. The suits didn't know how to make bank with this methodology that could yield nearly arbitrarily complex chips in nearly any target process.

Edit: There were a number of papers and conference proceedings published back then but not much shows up when searching Google. Here's one discussing the issues and results of field stitching https://fdocuments.in/document/ieee-comput-soc-press-1992-in...

From 1992, so yeah, field stitching is not a recent invention.
