You could give the survey to random people, and when somebody dies, you go back and find their most recent survey. That's their exit poll.
Can you link any docs for that? I believe a lifecycle is attached to an S3 bucket, and there's no bucket for EBS snapshots as they're tied to EC2.
If the author of the OP is reading this, the first link in the article:

points to http://research.google instead of https://research.google :)
The CLR also allows stack allocation, and many of the newer .NET Core libraries have been built with a focus on eliminating unnecessary allocations.
I agree with this! I recently had the opportunity to write an outline / script for a TEDx talk, and I found it clarified my ideas _significantly._
At a pragmatic level, rights exist for any entity capable of, whether by individual or collective action, claiming and defending them.

The notion of innate human rights is a collective claim on rights. It is not the only mechanism for claims to rights.

States' levels of effective control, and hence, access to rights, vary greatly, from near-absolute to wholly impotent.

This approach is based on rights as a pragmatic reality, not a moral ideal.
In other languages this is less of an issue, because function signatures can include information about whether the argument can be modified or not. For example, in C++:

// Definitely doesn't modify 'array', because 'array' is copied.
vector<int> Normalize(vector<int> array);
// Almost certainly doesn't modify 'array'.
vector<int> Normalize(const vector<int>& array);
// Probably *does* modify 'array' (otherwise author would have used
// const reference instead of pointer.)
void Normalize(vector<int>* array);

In Python every function uses the 3rd approach, so you have to signal to the user in some other way whether the argument will be modified or not. In Ruby and some other languages the convention is to append "!" to the function name, but in Python most people seem to just mention it in the docstring.
The article was comparing coal costs vs Solar and Wind. Carbon output from fossil fuels suggests not only coal, but also oil and natural gas.
Thanks. By c++ integration support I meant able to use C++ headers and link to C++ binaries.

This is really a great project, very pragmatically oriented, I wish you well. It's hard for any new language to gain momentum without underlying platform buy-in (i.e. Kotlin became 'a thing' when Google adopted it for Android). But I hope you can find an angle.
It's not a bug, but an unimplemented feature. They never made any promise that raid5 is production-ready.

Pretty much all software-raid systems suffer from it unless they explicitly patch over it via journaling. Hardware raid gets away with it if it has battery backups, if they don't they suffer from exactly the same problem.
I moved a couple Namecheap domains to Cloudflare's registrar when they launched, no complaints here. One domain took a bit longer to transfer, but the first took only a few minutes so I didn't mind it at all. I already used them for DNS so it felt like a no-brainer.

I don't think I've ever seen that where I live. The closest I've seen is in suburban neighborhoods where people don't park their car all the way into their driveway, but even that's pretty rare.

My father smoked for around 30 years, I've smoked for around 16 years.

> Or it’s possible the preliminary results are correct.

Sure, it's a possibility too, I would like to see more long term studies tough, with enough participants to statistically exclude all environmental noise.

For now we can be sure of one thing, genetics is the main factor in how we age.
Regarding the Greens. They will be more willing to push back against the German car industry which should lead to increased reductions in transport emissions. Other sectors are likely similar.
Free Webhosting Now Launched with Free Subdomain
ahh, but for that we need to go back to a world where highly effective people married people who were content to bring up children and not be highly effective themselves. Having children is a huge barrier to being highly effective, unless you can offload all the caring duties onto someone else ;)
Sure, how else can I ensure that the records are distributed, replicated and simultaneously not tampered with? And timestamps with verifiable attestations? I thought of trying to use signed keys, but the key management quickly became a non-starter, so how else could I structure this without it turning into a nightmare human factors challenge?

Upvoted, because I honestly was hoping someone would challenge the blockchain part and show me a better solution. I'm not keen on that piece myself, but don't know how to design around it without raising other concerns I'd rather not deal with.

I imagine this is perfect for climate change deniers. Climate change is very difficult to fight because both undershooting and overshooting your predictions can come back and hurt you.
I remember circa 2000 being able to simultaneously compile Mozilla, transfer DV video from a camcorder into an editor, check email, and surf the web on a dual Pentium Pro system with no hint of UI stutter or dropped frames in the firewire video transfer. It was at least another decade before SSDs and kernel improvements made that possible on Linux, Windows, or OS X.
last update says they were able to restore a version

Updated on Thursday, 9:58 PM +0200:
we're not sure we will be able to provide the data but we were able to recover a version of the filesystem from right before the crash

I have been using them for DNS and some minor hosting for a long time and I will stay with them. I think it's important to avoid the monoculture/centralisation which is otherwise happening.

Sure Gandi has their flaws, they are humans.

I expect they do will a proper post-mortem on what went wrong and how they managed to fix it. Seems they were using ZFS and relied on it a bit too much. Or if they indeed managed to restore the last snapshot, then their only error might have been the classic one of underestimating how long restoring/investigating several terabytes take even on modern HW.
We provision database access through Hashicorp Vault. It's excellent, short lived credentials provided by Kubernetes service accounts (lots of glue here!).

After the RDS instance is created we need to manually create credentials so that Vault gains access to control it though, this is our mission to automate soon.

With credentials in place teams need to maintain schema creation and migrations themselves. We provide wrapper scripts go gain access with Vault credentials mysql shell or Perconas pt-inline-schema-change. Some teams create pre-deploy jobs or init-containers so that their service can run migrations automatically.
Ajit Pai's FCC is among the worst possible outcomes for competition in telecommunications. This won't end until we have a president and FCC chairman who aren't literally trying to remove any semblances of fairness in the market.

My blood boils just thinking about the fucking word "unlimited"

There are folks who even defend it "YOU CANNOT USE A TERABYTE" oh bullshit, baby, I can destroy a terabyte. I bet everyone else does too but instead of labeling it "10TB of TV watching" they label it "cable package," and fuck you over more. It's like text messaging back in the day, it was literally _FREE_ for carriers to implement, and per message data rates were like 6000 times that of a normal 2G packet.

It'd be like your electricity company wanting a cut from the fucking appliance manufacturers you already paid in order to power them "well we have a lot of Frigidaire on our grid and that causes stress... when you add them up its 30% of our grid that seems like an undue burden" Oh, no shit? I paid for something (power) and you having to provide it produces an undue burden? The only undue burden is on me having to tolerate someone thinking I'm so fucking stupid as to believe your lies but! Unfortunately, for me, there are a huge bunch of people who are that stupid... and believe it.
There's a unique variable here and that's Oracle.

That shouldn't actually matter; it should just depend on the license. But millions in legal fees says otherwise.
What a clickbait nonsense headline.

From the article:
`[I]t is more likely that the telescope can’t detect the FRB’s wavelengths or that any bursts it emitted while Oostrum and his colleagues were observing were just too dim to see, says Jason Hessels, who is also at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy but wasn’t involved in this work. “Just because you don’t see anything at this time with this telescope doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see,” he says.`
Linus should stick to his kernel and git. It feels like he has very little knowledge about computing outside of those areas. That would also make his abrasive way of communicating easier to tolerate. He mostly comes across as the typical autistic savant type that's great at an extremely specific area, but only that.
Symbolic for maybe people that are making above minimum wage but an increase in minimum wage to $15 made so many people lives easier.
That's weird, I'm pretty sure in the 80s I read that by 2020 the Earth would be a giant ball of smoldering fire
I mean maybe. I was running 1600x1200 on my monitor back then.
It worked out great for the rich, which is exactly who was telling us about the Siren song. So in a very toxic way they weren't lying, they just weren't talking about (the metaphorical) you.

If you haven't seen it, you might appreciate this article by Eric Weinstein. It details explicitly how the NSF went about betraying us. https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/how-why-gove...
The specific insurance example was just a theoretical example. I'm less concerned about someone trying to kill me, there are much easier ways to do that without targeting me based on my DNA!
I think many of the poorest would happily choose a flat $1000/month over the benefit systems we have in place now. But even for those who opted out in favor of existing aid programs, I think the societal benefits of additional liquidity from everyone else getting the dividend would lead to more consumer spending, and therefore better employment opportunities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand-side_economics
Linux could do that only if your system was lightly loaded. Once you started to have I/O contention, none of the available kernel schedulers could reliably avoid stuttering.

A site of mine is also hosted as their PAAS at Luxembourg, but was luckily not effected. Probably my site was on another storage unit ("on one of our ZFS storage units").

I also always thought that the snapshots were backups.
SOLID principles and how I was breaking them
So better to use ext4 and let it silently corrupt your data?

ZFS does indeed catch memory errors. If you are running without ECC, most filesystems will happily write that corrupt data to disk. Unless the corruption is in the metadata, you will be none the wiser.
I can only imagine the gleeful Fox News reporting once they get hold of this story.
I'm pretty sure in the '70s I read the Earth would be a big ball of ice, but it's OK since if we didn't nuke ourselves the overpopulation will have killed us all off.
Hey I like your speaking style, clear, and funny. Nice work.
Have you seen what's going on in Australia and the Amazon right about now?
fear-mongering much?
Another straightforward appeal for transparency, transparency, transparency.

The middleman organizations that negotiate deals in private, hospitals that make different discount deals with different insurers, even the insurers internal risk assessments and differential rates, all of these factors have been at least partially investigated.

Let's combine those research results, and keep shining more light on the places where collusion and obfuscation let companies get away with sucking money out of patients, and when the whole ball of wax is exposed to the public, then we can root out the worst actors and keep digging until the system is as free of greedy manipulators as we can manage.

Or we could French Revolution the CEOs and CFOs...
If you want to make a significant dent in the mass shooting problem (by the way, the FBI's crime stats page [0] is illuminating on many subjects, not the least of which is that violent crime rates are way down from earlier in the 2000s [1]), you need to start looking at why someone feels shooting up a bunch of innocent people is a valid response to whatever stressor they're feeling. Maybe there is an income inequality, and that can cause someone to feel angry. But there's a leap that needs to be made from "angry" to "mass murderer", and it'd be helpful to understand why that is. I suspect it's mental.

It seems like you need to be pretty damned sure before you try this. If they were to raise the minimum wage and suicides don't drop, do you put the minimum wage back where it was?
I was thinking more of "the buzzword" bit, and how it got to be such a well known technology.
Coal is much cheaper than oil and comparable to natural gas.

Not really, we were using an IMU with a magnetometer and it was reasonably stable when it was setup correctly. As well as calibrated well. That with the GPS made things stable enough that it was at least a very good demo.
The post I was replying to asked why the agencies exert control at all, a broader context than this particular copyright issue. I was explaining why they might find that in their interests.

"It's also not necessarily true that third-party data is worse than the official sources; in some cases it can even be superior."

Well, an organization is hardly going to use that as part of its decision making. Organizations are essentially incapable of admitting that their job is being better done by someone else. So in terms of answering the question as it was asked it's not terribly relevant.

If you want to know why an organization might want to control its schedules, you need to empathize with it and put yourself it its/their shoes, not come at it as if you're still an outsider. Having extreme distaste for the organization merely means you're going to empathize and put yourself in the shoes of an organization you don't like; it doesn't change the basic procedure for understanding it.
Uh, that reminds me of a dark dark time in my life.

I'm glad it's over and will forever curse those bastards that inflicted it on us.

Nope. "we weren't infected by the SF attitude" was not a correct description, we were just mobbed into submission.

Same here, of the big three (AWS, Azure, GCP) I found GCP's panel to be the most comfortable. The recent news of unjustified Google account closures and billing mishaps are putting me off moving there, though.

Thinking back to Schneier’s running commentary on SHA3, using hierarchical hashes was part of a general attempt to increase the internal state space of the hashes. SHA1 exposes all of the bits. So once you get two prefixes with the same hash, adding a common suffix results in the same output hash.

With hashes of hashes, the prefixes have to be the same length, and possibly very short.
The new estimate is 2030. Most of the ones that are left have gotten pretty small.
This is, of course, the very first thing any reputable study tries to control for; presumably the placebo and active populations are both taken from populations with comparable diagnoses.
And, of course, there is nothing that says this would work for intermediate layers, since the sample dimensions may get there from any input.

What works is averaging similar networks and averaging your networks a lot of times.
Personally, if I ever become a victim of alzheimers, especially if it's to the degree of a family member of mine (all mirrors had to be removed from her home since she could no longer recognize herself and was startled by her own reflection) I would sure hope I was medicated out of my mind or sedated. I plan to have my will reflect that I had no intent of treatment for this kind of disease, hopefully willful euthanasia is legalized in the U.S. soon.

If I was diagnosed with early onset forms of dementia (prior to age 50) I would certainly book a hotel room and blow my brains out. I've seen the horrors of this disease and have no intent to "fight" it.
Beaver Lake in Vancouver's Stanley Park was predicted to fill in and become a meadow in a couple thousand years. Then it was predicted to be filled by 2020. But it's not. It might be soon. In ten years or maybe a hundred years. We're just really bad at predicting such things accurately. In the case of Beaver Lake, it'll probably get dredged and predictions will become moot.

Yeah, same here. We are trialing Miro and like it so far for sprint retrospectives, but part of trialing is trying potential alternatives. I wouldn't mind adding this into the mix for our team's consideration, but I can't bring it to my boss without quickly being able to point out clear differentiators -- and I don't have the time to just play around with it myself until I find them.
This is not the way the parent comment was using the word "simple". This is obvious from context.

There were much bigger fires past due to lack of fire supplies. What's your point?
Unfortunately climate change became a political stance more than a science.

It is now extremely difficult to get straight facts from both sides of this debate. Both sides feel like thy need to completely overstate and exaggerate the facts in order to create fear, urgency and hate for the other side.
There is no statistical support of these ideas, though. Suicide rates in countries with Socialist economies are higher than in the U.S. [1]

Where does it say it was bought? It talks about a new investor:

Am I missing something?
Yeah, I've tried to get a therapist here in SoCal and it is an absolute nightmare. Its one of those things where clearly I don't _need_ it, but I'd probably be a lot healthier and happier with it. But even thought I have good insurance and could definitely afford it, there just isn't availability at all. I've called around and no one is taking new patients.

Saying 'therapy not drugs' is all fine and dandy until you consider that for probably 99% of people therapy just isn't an option and may never be.
You didn't need to build a Hackintosh. You could buy legal, officially-licensed Mac clones back then.
This is actually promising. Obviously my mental comparison is not appropriate, but I recall diagnostic equipment for vehicles that cost $500k+ and took up a half of a bay in the shop. Now I can do the same diagnostics with a hand-held device that is $95. That was a 20 year gap. If the same evolution occurs with genetic equipment, it will meet my needs. In 15 to 20 years, I want to acquire a copy of Dr. Sinclairs work on the yamanaka factors and reversing cell age. I will need equipment to see DNA, epigenetic methylation and more.
While plausible, that paragraph is speculation; it's also plausible that antidepressants push some subgroup of patients toward suicidal ideation.

I'm unaware of any study that answers this question definitively, but I'm interested, so if anyone sees something useful, please chime in.

The system is built to be this way.

Nursing care is expensive. Very expensive. No one wants to pay for it, either because people didn't or couldn't save enough for it prior to needing it, or government can't get the will together to properly fund it (Medicaid/Medicare aside) with taxes. People still end up in homes, caregivers continue to be chronically underpaid, and there's some occasional public concern or outrage over it so society can feel better about the situation. "Thoughts and prayers" over meaningful elder care reform.
So, an OS setting makes FF look bad (...in comparison to the OS-integrated browser). Where have I seen that?
I agree. Your genetic code doesn't define you and I don't see it as private and to be protected. You leave it everywhere you go.
Capitalism relies on the state to enforce private property rights. The free market then naturally influences your government, which in turn naturally influences how people organize their lives. So yes, capitalism influences how people and communities organize themselves.

It's a ridiculously uneven playing field that, like too many things, has practically become a sport with two sides supporting their own team.

"If you're in any way even slightly wrong, we're right."

Denial mixed with pride is a powerful drug and you see it in action everywhere; the amount of energy we expend on avoiding an uncomfortable truth, be it unrequited love, losing a loved one, or being found to be wrong in an argument.

It doesn't really feel like we're fighting for the survival of our humanity. Maybe just prolonging our own individual existence so we don't have to deal with change, our beloved children be damned.
Cases like the Manhattan project team are rare. Cases like grossly overpaid managers and executives in FIRE industries are common.

We have universal health care, but that does not typically cover dental, mental, or pharma costs. I think our system has been allowed to be mediocre because it still looks good compared to the US
Sure. I'm assuming that people doing those kinds of jobs, working under those kinds of rules, are highly likely to be hourly and not salaried employees.
I am also not an expert in this space - but if I understand correctly the reason the linux Nvidia driver sucks so much is that it is not GPL'd (or open source at all).

There is little incentive for Nvidia to maintain a linux specific driver, but because it is closed source the community cannot improve/fix it.

> Why are all drivers expected to use the GPL?

I think the answer to this is: drivers are expect to use the GPL if they want to be mainlined and maintained - as Linus said: other than that you are "on your own".
Heroes as in someone a little child aspires to? They are not part of that police, firefighter, teacher, scientist, sports figure group. Astronaut is probably the biggest.

Nursing home workers do a job that is important, few want to do or could do. Most do it for pay. Most do not aspire to the job but end up there for practical reasons
It seems like a pretty strong argument if the models are this unreliable.
