It doesn't have to be elegant, just popular enough that everyone agrees to standardize on it. The best example I have in mind is the S3: because it's so popular, it's the default API for minio (https://min.io/). Redis is also different enough from every other database yet widespread enough that it's considered a standard, and other projects have started using its API to implement an alternative or a cache.

I also hope that at one point I can just write my code, wrap it behind a simple HTTP API, and give it to some orchestrator that manages everything (monitoring, logs, deployment, TLS, gives me a FS API, manages authentication, ...). I feel like web platforms such as OpenResty (https://openresty.org/en/), Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/) already provide part of it, but can probably go a bit further

My Approach as Fullstack Working with Microservices
Seychelle seems to have more advanced filters:

https://www.seychelle.com/water-filters

> The Radiological filter removes the four basic zones of contamination: aesthetic (chlorine, taste and odor), chemicals (from industry and agriculture), dissolved solids (heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium 6) and up to 99.99% of radiological contaminants such as gross beta, radon 222, alpha radium 226, plutonium, uranium, cesium 134 and 137. Removes up to 90% of fluoride. (Not to be used with salt water.)

> The RAD/ADV filter removes up to 99.99% of chlorine, chemicals (VOC’s), heavy metals, radiological contaminants and up to 90% of fluoride. It removes up to 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses, as well as 99.9% of giardia and cryptosporidium. The RAD/ADV filter can be used for emergency preparedness, disaster relief, and radiological contamination. Just like the Advanced filter the RAD/ADV filter is ideal for traveling around the world and used with water of unknown quality. (Not to be used with salt water.)

So there's a chance that these might be able to remove other chemicals and perhaps microplastics.

The Berkey filter also seems to remove quite a few contaminants:

I wonder if there will be a boom in the water filter industry after more mainstream articles come out about the problem and the government eventually starts recommending them openly.
I was waiting for someone to mention Solid. Solid takes all the bad ideas from the Semantic Web and goes all in on stupid. They've been pushing WebID for years which is flawed at its very core. It ties a TLS certificate to a web resource, your WebID profile, but isn't signed, anyone with access to the server could steal your identity. When you mention that to them their usual response either, "No problem, a raspberry Pi is $35. I run one in my basement and you should too!" or "No problem. You can change providers if they ever steal your identity because with Solid you have choices!".

So you bite the bullet, order a Pi, register a domain, basically become your own sys admin - and you thought getting your mothers wifi working was bad - running your own little data center out of your basement. Now you need to actually use this WebID thing...it just happens to rely on the HTML keygen tag. Haven't heard of that one before? That's because it's a rarely used, on again, off again, supported tag. That's not really going to work so they decide to do what they always do, piggyback on something that actually works. Enter, WebID-OICD that piggybacks on OAuth2/OpenID connect except profiles still aren't signed, oops.

None of your information is encrypted so your pod hosting provider has complete access to everything. For some reason they're cool with that. There's no way pod providers would collude to aggregate your data. You're going to have so much choice and the tech is so awesome that you're just going to seamlessly migrate from provider to provider that it's never going to happen. Don't worry that doing anything with it is going to be hopelessly slow because everything is federated.

The link is about the approach and the tools that I use as Fullstack(frontend/backend) working with stateless microservices in my local env.

I am using NodeJS/GraphQL/React(SSR) for my backend/frontend services.

The example is live, I version everything that goes to that cluster and it's opensource, this might be helpful as reference if you are using the same stack in containers.

I am using Kubernetes in the example, but the same approach apply to docker-compose, docker swarm, etc...

You never know. Companies like Boeing create LTAs with their suppliers, agreeing to specific pricing over many numbers of years.

Most of these contracts are written with language that if a part is no longer required that Boeing must still buy out the LTA. Basically, Boeing must buy parts for the 737 Max from suppliers even if they can never build another plane! Either that or the suppliers who make parts for the 737 will have to eat all the WIP and inventory costs which would be just as devestating to the domestic manufacturing market as if Boeing itself went under.

The advantage to me is that I sometimes use a new browser and lose these settings. Also for defining my own, I seriously haven't found a search that isn't already in DDG. Maybe back in the old days when you wanted a search box from a specific forum (though the site: operator usually works better imvho).

I was totally with you on Opera in 2002, however :) All the way until they dumped their own engine and lost many of their unique features. It was still kinda fun to use last time I installed it though. But it also feels just like Chromium with some stuff tacked on.
I'm afraid that when you have to compare the "#1 world super power" to Africa, China and India to make a point you already lost the argument
Same, I don't think DDG's results have improved, but googles results have defiantly went down the drain.

Your question is rhetorical here, right?
They want you to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem is why they made an open source IDE and great tooling for it that competes directly with an IDE they sell for up to 1000$/seat/year that actually tries to get you to stay in their ecosystem with things like free Azure credits, preferential Azure pricing, free Windows Server and MSSQL licenses

Not that I think any of this is not entirely tangential to the original point...
No, because these kinds of places suck the blood out of people in their early 20s. Usually after they have moved to a new area and left behind all their social connections.

When you're 25 and have no ties and no responsibilities, working 12-15 hours a day isn't the impossibility that it is when you are 35 and have a wife, kids, your own house, and social obligations.
I've used that in Firebird/Firefox for over ten years. If I remember correctly it's configured by adding a keyword to a bookmark and adding a placeholder within the bookmark URI.
"Silenced" here appears to mean something different than "prohibited from any form of communication." Since clearly we can see him expressing his views by following the above link.

It appears to be that "silenced" here means something lesser, more like "not allowed to use certain platforms as a way to communicate to others, based on rules those platforms decide for themselves."

Freedom of association is, like freedom of speech, a core component of the human rights. These are, of course, sometimes in tension.

But just like a newspaper isn't forced to publish all of the letters sent to the editor, and a billboard company isn't forced to post all messages, neither is Facebook forced to host all messages.

Facebook and Instagram are for-profit commercial platforms, with the primary goal of making revenue via advertising. They are free to decide how to maximize their revenue.

Are their other similar organizations where we require them to host communications they might not like to host? Certainly - look at common-carriers like the telephone company.

But the argument doesn't seem to be that we should force Facebook, etc. to be common-carriers, but rather that simply exercising their freedom of association is an affront to free speech - which if true, would surely lead to an unhealthy society where the heckler's veto overrides any sort of discourse.

BTW, Hall's quote from "The Friends of Voltaire" describes Voltaire's views concerning the revoking of Helvétius's right to publish De l'esprit, its ban in Rome, and more. By my reading, Hall doesn't imply that Voltaire meant to also 'defend to the death' the right for Helvétius to force a given publishing company to publish his book - something which wasn't needed as it was quickly re-published across Europe.
People have always suspected Bronze-age tin might have come from England, but most historians never took it seriously because it implied a lot more long-distance commerce than they believed was possible then.

I have created a simple workflow using AWS Lambda + Kinesis + S3 to track our customers and not to have any 3rd party dependency. It took roughly 2 weeks but it is worth it since do not leak customer data and we have much tighter control over what we collect (no PII except the source ip that gets hashed in the process).

The wider question here is how to handle Saudi Arabian trades in Western markets. Every and any deal undertaken by a state actor (MBS, any of the 1000s of princes the place is littered with, the sovereign wealth fund or the state or semi state companies) could well be the result of insider trading...

And thats just the public markets. Imagine the advantage you would have in startup investing if you could covertly read all the internal discussions, the founders texts and emails, remotely access their meetings with lawyers, accountants and other VCs.

Remember that the economies of scale were made possible by technology.

Budweiser, Miller, etc dominated the US market with an inferior product because they could build a distribution network and ship/store the product at massive scale at low cost. This was particularly important post-prohibition. Consistently mediocre, branded/marketed, cheap beer was more valuable than local stuff.
I imagine they will make it free forever. We're nearly approaching two decades of the game being sold and it was one of the first digitally distributed games as well. Can't imagine there are many Steam accounts without HL2 and I don't imagine there are many PC gamers without a Steam account.

It would great incentive offered by Valve to simply have a Steam account.

It's a little unclear what was actually compromised in this if it was just what was available WhatsApp on their end that's definitely an easy way. If it's more that WhatsApp was being used to read more data from the phone than what had already been sent via WhatsApp (or if WhatsApp doesn't have access to things sent because it's E2E encrypted) it'd require something more complex than that.

Read Huckelberry Finn, Jim was treated relatively well, however his family was sold away from him, he did not get to see his wife or daughter because it was valuable to the Widow to sell them. Finally he was going to be sold anyway, to somewhere where he would have the high probability of not being treated relatively well. To be treated relatively well as a slave was a living hell, or as it is generally called, slavery.

Damn, I suppose now someone is going to complain about long working hours meaning you never get to see your family anyway.
Well, DLNA and IPTV were never a mobile phone feature, but the point was simply that Google did not invent it. Thanks for agreeing with me.

I am currently using Lazarus for an open source project. I develop and test in Windows and Linux. Lazarus is feature rich and quite stable (barring a few minor exceptions). Package installation can be quirky, but you can live with that. The IDE is reasonably capable in code traversal and refactoring. If you are comfortable with Object Pascal and if you are targetting the desktop platform, definitely worth a go.

I assume "trade routes" are emergent things.

As in: Nobody decided "let's start a trade route from Egypt to Scandinavia!".

Far more likely, people traded with their neighbors, and market forces led to goods step by step traveling to where they were most valued.

Probably without Egyptians and Scandinavians ever having a clue the other group existed.

I think democracy was always problematic. Its original form, direct democracy, was vulnerable to the tyranny of the masses.

Representative democracy, long described as the solution, really isn’t. Representatives are self-interested, just like everyone else, and so we cannot expect them to be purely faithful executors of their respective mandates.

What we did not expect, and perhaps are now beginning to, is that human beings are endlessly resourceful when personally motivated. Laws, norms, and institutions are static structures, simple obstacles for people to overcome when they really want to. It has always been far more difficult to build defences than it has been to build new weapons to overcome them. This is the great challenge for lawmakers, judiciary, law enforcement, and anyone who is interested in the preservation of a free and open society.
Oh, sorry, I didn't know Discord gives people their own exclusive servers to host their rooms on for free. I assumed you just create new rooms on their main server, in which case it would be comparable to signing up to the matrix.org homeserver for free and create as many rooms there and invite as many users to those rooms as you want.

It doesn't matter that it was classified: you can read it with your own eyes and in and of itself, it's not damning.

"why was it classified at the highest level"

Well, it's a very sensitive conversation between two heads of state. Would seem to me that this is classified.

More cynically, because Trump didn't want to give one iota of support to his investigators. 'Anything you say can be used as evidence against you'

Finally, the argument is problematic because it was the Trump team who declassified it, and want people to read it.

My point is mostly about the whistle blowing and how this blew up. The real problem must be with Guliani acting on Trump's behalf because there's nothing on this call that would raise red flags.
That would require its own room, though.

It probably is illegal under the GDPR and perhaps a future US personal data law. Take a look at what WilliamEdward wrote in a child comment:

Under GDPR, your email is personal data (PII) and taking it from you under false pretences, to use for a purpose you were not informed about and did not consent to, is against the law.

Of course nobody is likely to sue over it.

Can you specify what you mean by seamless async everything and why it's significant? Are you talking about the execution model here? You mean having a message passing system like in Elixir that allows you to simply construct most of your program by writing callback functions?

Even in a language with no such system like Haskell when you have a web request it runs in its own green thread, allowing you to write mostly synchronous code. I'm not sure what the benefit of some kind of natively async execution would be here.

OP is about natural numbers, but if the challenge is generalized to computable ordinal numbers, then it actually becomes a very interesting measurement in the area of AGI. There's no bound on how big of a natural number any particular AGI could name (because if an AGI can name N, then it can name N+1, and by repeating that process, all the naturals are covered). But the set of codes of computable ordinals is a non-computable set, so no AGI could ever name them all, every AGI necessarily would have an upper limit on how large of a computable ordinal it could ever name.

See my slides on the subject here: https://semitrivial.github.io/MeasuringIntelligence2019.pdf
