> In late 2016, Peterson went on a strict diet consisting only of meat and some vegetables to control severe depression and an autoimmune disorder, including psoriasis and uveitis.[26][141] In mid-2018 he stopped eating vegetables, and continued eating only beef (see carnivore diet).[142] In 2019, Peterson entered a rehabilitation facility after experiencing symptoms of physical withdrawal when he stopped taking clonazepam, an anti-anxiety drug. He had begun taking the drug upon his doctor's recommendation following his wife's cancer diagnosis.[143][144][145] In early 2020, his daughter revealed that he had spent the previous year struggling with addiction to benzodiazepine tranquilizers and had gone to Russia for an experimental treatment that included a medically induced coma.

It sounds like there's a lot more going on physically than just the benzos.
So, Flatcar is to CoreOS as Centos is to RHEL (if you ignore that CoreOS is going away). The differences make it not entirely analogous, but it's probably an easy way express it in very few words.

Great work on this. Is it open source? Or is there a way to use my own hardware? If not, then it seems like gitpod.io[0] is a much better fit for the open source ecosystem. That said, there's definitely a place for proprietary software in this space (I'm a Glitch user and I love it).

> you would have to have been baptized in the church, professed to believe in the church's doctrines, voluntarily consented to being a member, provided personal data, etc, so a retraction of all that is a relatively serious decision).

*at 8

Remember, you get baptized __at 8__. If you're a male, you get the priesthood at __12__. You're talking about consent and volunteering that information. There's a reason we legally don't allow people that young to give consent. The way you are framing this conversation to me is rather disgusting. You are saying that it is my fault that the church has my information. The church has my information because __I was born into it__. Yeah, I believed at 8. I even believed at 16.

This also doesn't explain how the church has continually had my address as I've moved hundreds of miles across the country multiple times. And the issue is that every time these missionaries come I tell them I don't want to be contacted. I've talked to several bishops about being removed. They all said I won't be contacted. Then I move, and it starts over. So forgive me if I feel like I'm being stalked. I know many ex members who share this experience.

So if you agree that we should be removed, don't blame us. Maybe, instead, there is a systematic problem. Because as it stands, every time a missionary knocks on my door saying "Brother Godelski", I hate the church a little more. I don't blame missionaries. They are welcome to food, water, and to use my bathroom (they have a tough job). But I tell them there is no teaching (and I don't try to pressure them out either).

So what do I do? Do I be hostile to the messenger? (I don't have that in me) Because this has been happening for over a decade, over 4 states, and over a dozen residences. So forgive me if I don't take your message lightly. I don't know how to be more clear.

Edit (in response to your edit):

> In that light, it would be crazy for a random hometeacher/ministering member to knock on your door, hear you say "remove me from your list", and interpret that as full authorization to remove your record completely.

To me, this sounds crazy. No means no. No does not mean maybe. No means no. If someone wants to call me and say "Hey, the missionaries said that you wanted to be removed from the records, is that true?" I'd be okay with that. But saying that "no means maybe" is spitting in the face of those trying to leave.
About 3,800 wind turbine blades fail per year, according to an insurer.[1] About 0.5% per year. A detailed analysis of blade failure modes: [2] There's an industry devoted to blade repair.[3] What they do looks a lot like body work for carbon-fiber aircraft, except that it's done in midair.

Transmissions and bearings are more of a problem. "Turbine gearboxes are typically given a design life of 20 years, but few make it past the 10-year mark."[4]

Why would the onus be on the offendee? The person making the request or giving the feedback is the person that has the most opportunity to choose their method of affect their communication. The receiver has very little choice, except sucking it up stoically.

If you really want to communicate an idea, it's in your own best interest to adapt your approach to the listener.
That's a really great point: I'd love the infotainment system in my car to boot faster. But that is also not "the single top-priority software engineering problem" for me, either.
Copyright and data protection are separate issues and even so, FADP doesn't let people off that easily. From the same article 4:

> Personal data may only be processed for the purpose indicated at the time of collection, that is evident from the circumstances, or that is provided for by law.

> The collection of personal data and in particular the purpose of its processing must be evident to the data subject.

Note that it adds the qualifier "for the purpose indicated at the time of collection". I don't think there's a realistic argument that Facebook's UI indicates or makes evident, at time of uploading/posting a photo, that the photo can be used by third parties performing facial recognition.

And then, even if you give Facebook consent to do certain things, that consent does not extend to third parties scraping it.

Recall that Python has assignment expressions `:=` now: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0572/

Even before that, I had a "let" in Drython: https://github.com/gilch/drython/blob/master/drython/stateme...

In Haskell let and lambda have a subtle distinction due to the type system, but in Lisp and dynamically typed languages like Python, "let" can simply be lambda definition that is called immediately.
FWIW, my friend was able to have her name completely removed from the membership rolls, and she was never visited after that except by random missionaries who didn't know who she was. Nobody she talked to in the church told her of the existence of this process, even when she was directly begging to be completely forgotten and never bothered again, which makes it sound like a conspiracy theory or an urban legend, but it exists, and it works. My guess is they had to set it up to comply with a law or fulfill the terms of a settlement. You'll have to look for it online, because I forgot the name of the process and who helped her with it, but any of the online ex-Mormon support groups should be able to point you in the right direction.

> Detected failures should bounce it to the cashier to ring it up

Assuming a minor deviation from the real order cost that ends up being more expensive than swallowing the difference and continuing with the order, and it also increases the number of abandoned orders at peak times.

Either way you’re paying a dollar to save a cent.

Because you don’t know what the true value should be (else you have no bug) it’s very hard to choose the correct course of action. I’d argue that attempting to detect unexpected deviations and adding friction to fast food orders could backfire massively at McDonalds scale

I think an extreme circumstance would be someone hijacking microsoft.com and trying to ransom it off but I'm not really familiar with ICANN's specific powers.

Why should everyone in the world not get to use a thing because Microsoft has some naming scheme? These places have been shouting whatever data at a random (edit: unintentional and uncontrolled rather than random) spot on the internet for years and that's a huge problem.

Opening up an auction is a nice way to draw attention to the problem, get MS to literally&figuratively pay for it (even if the price 10x'd it's not like M$ couldn't handle $17MM), and make it no longer the seller's problem.
My experience leaving was as follows. I don't feel bad nor bitter but it did have some negative repercussions.

I knew at 13 I did not believe and didn't want to follow but was forced to continue attending and forbidden to speak about my lack of belief to siblings. Come 18 I was suggested to move out which I happily did. My father sort of eventually accepted but would try to slip in religious sermons when he could. My mother on the other hand freaked completely out. Parents took all pictures of me down in the house leaving pictures of siblings. They gave a piece of property my non-Mormon grandfather left me to my brother with my mother calling and explaining they were doing this because I had left the church and she had never forgiven her mother and brother from leaving. Pretty rough but I got over it. Luckily I never built much social identity around the church so that was less of an issue. Also I left young and at 18 who cares what your parents think because they are stupid anyway :).

I don't think ostracism or social punishment is official policy but it is there in practice and likely very pronounced for some people.

I still have a sister and brother who are very and irrationally hostile towards me but the other siblings are friendly enough and seem ok. I don't talk about church nor discourage their belief, I simply don't participate. Mom never did get over it and we were never close again until her death. Sometimes she would call me saying crazy things but I didn't hate or resent her for it, I understand where they are coming from, in my belief they are mistaken and deluded and behaving improperly but hey people do that in many venues.

I felt like my leaving was a threat to a carefully constructed fragile synthetic narrative for people close to me who chose to remain. Even though I never actually argued against nor condemned the religion.

I suppose I should feel worse about the whole incident but what I really feel is a sort of pity. Like someone would feel for an alcoholic or drug addict desperately rationalizing their destructive behavior. I don't hate the church nor resent the behavior of family members. I understand, besides what they think has little bearing on my world at this point. Very happy I left early though. I imagine the process as an adult married with kids even is quite an emotional slap. I don't want to tell others what to do. If people are happy claiming to believe those things I'm ok with it. But I won't do any such thing even if it means social problems.
Boot time is kind of ireelevant when everything spends its time asleep. But I strongly agree that we should try to reduce frame latency for "productivity" apps; you probably don't need 10ms as most people are still on 60Hz, but we ought to be able to manage two or three frames.

At least get typeahead working properly again. Various places have borken this, especially Facebook, but back on vt3270 systems experienced operators could just hammer a bunch of data into forms as fast as they could type. Can't usually do that with web apps.

I've used a Tempest arcade machine with near-zero latency, and it was a very weird and pleasant experience.

It isn't a matter of getting to a certain scale before you use RDS, if that's what you're asking. The value of RDS is streamlining and automating db administrative tasks. If you want to update from Postgres 11.5 to 11.6, for example, you just change that setting on your RDS instance and it happens, either immediately or at some scheduled maintenance window. I f you want a hot standby in a separate availability zone, it's trivial to add one. Read replica? Trivial to add.

In general, I've found it makes sense to pay the premium for RDS and spend my and my team's time on more valuable work than db admin tasks.
It seems to me that one of these positions makes much more sense because it assumes the least unproven behaviour.

We measure the wave collapsed as if the cat died in minute 3 of being in the box (we can calculate that from the amount of CO2 and other methods). You say "we don't know if it really collapsed in minute 3, or collapsed now and retroactively made every measurable fact look like it happened in minute 3".

To me it sounds like "Earth can be 6000 years old - God simply made it look like it has billions of years". Sure I cannot experimentally distinguish between these options, but one is much simpler.

I guess with QM at least we "caught God doing the retroactive stuff" for small things, but we had no proof it had anything to do with consciousness, and it never seems to happen for macroscopic stuff.

It's like I see street lamp goes black when I'm near it and assume it's because I was close to it. It's easy illusion to get into, because you never see the lamps that go black when you're not around. But there's no justification that you/consciousness is needed.
Don't read the fine print, it's always bad ("we'll charge a fee if we want") and you can't avoid it (no free market for competitors) and knowing it only increases your risk liability.
That’s how I quit too. But I’m convinced this came at a price- the time spent under cognitive dissonance has impacted my self confidence and self worth a non-negligible amount. To counteract this, I followed the same strategy and framed myself as “I’m a very confident person,” but overcompensated by being an objective asshole.

Today, I would still consider myself an asshole in certain situations, but that’s precisely the thing about being an asshole- it’s binary and not allowed to be subjected to the disclaimer “* asshole only in certain situations.” I’m still working on that.
I would agree except he is quoted as “fearing” it won’t go to Microsoft. He could just make that happen.
Pay math majors to manually (or with software assistance to help maintain rigor) prove the correctness of open source software Infosys-style. Get paid by enterprise customers. You don't need math majors per se just people with some math talent. Unfortunately there are tons of mathematically inclined people in the world, much more than there are opportunities so you can probably hire e.g. 10 proofs engineers in Eastern Europe/Iron Curtain countries (Soviet style math education while brutal, is tremendously effective) for the cost of one SV Engineer. Companies like Galois may be nice but they are expensive and don't scale very well; industrial automation and IoT hardly have the same margins as overpaid defence contractors. Training humans in TLA+ is cheaper. For example in Kazakhstan and Ukraine, Pascal is widely taught as part of the high school curriculum. Boeing can verify the output of their HCL outsourcing by an army of Slavic engineers trained in Ada Spark (which is not too dissimilar syntax-wise to Pascal [0]). Namecheap managed to train an entire customer service team in Eastern Europe on the finer details of DNS and networking technologies. All this on razor thin margins of selling domain names. It is not unimaginable to scale this to formal verification. Considering that GitHub acquired Semmle, this field will explode in the near future.

Modern science certainly began within the last few hundred years, of which botany is a discipline. Obviously people were studying the world prior to the invention of the scientific method, but that doesn’t mean they were doing science the way it’s understood today.
I see you're admitting the church is a business.

Your argument might be more serious if you didn't weave comments like this into it. It's quite clear that statement hasn't been made or insinuated.

Also, as far as the church spending time teaching its members all the different ways it invests would be quite tangential to a Sunday class. People don't go to church to understand how the church operates but rather why. As far as the church employing individuals who have studied finance and know how to make the church financially sound is logical and right. The church itself encourages higher studies. Employing those who have studied to further the work is being a wise steward.

Now if they are only using the money to make individuals rich, that would go counter to teachings. What handful of people are you referring to?
I've been doing something similar to track what I do at work for just over a year. I tried keeping a home journal with a similar technique, but it didn't stick.

I have a git repo set up, and I run: "vim `date -I`", which opens a text file named for the current date (2020-02-08 today for example). Then I'll put in notes about what it is I'm currently working on.

I've come up with the convention of separating tasks with three equal signs (===) and separating updates to a single task with (--).

The main thing it's been helpful for to me, which is honestly probably why I've kept up with it, is that I'm bad about doing my daily timesheets. So once a month when our accounting lady gets after me, I'll go back through my notes and fill everything in.

There are advantages when using RDS other than scaling.

The performance dashboard is especially nice.

The reusable sets of configuration is convenient and the UI makes it easy to compare original vs. changed values.

The instance upgrade is not seamless, though, it is normally scheduled for the next maintenance window, unless you decide to apply and reboot immediately.

I agree the service is expensive, but setting up a db server for production takes a lot of time and expertise.
I used to have an Evernote account with work notes and home notes, and found it impossible to not sometimes be distracted by the work notes outside of work.

Now I keep anything note-like completely separate. Every once in a while I send a specific thing from one world to the other, like additions I come up with for dotfiles, but otherwise it's so much better keeping things separate.
Much of the component pieces are open-source, as I mention in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22278301

Because if he'd have done that, this wouldn't be news, it wouldn't be on HN, and this somewhat invisible security hole would remain in the shadows. Perhaps O'connor would be just fine with ICANN ripping this away from him, but perhaps that bluff needs calling.
The failure mode is not as other posters have said mechanical, but is in fact usually a business decision. Plenty are lasting much longer than 25 years.

Many wind turbines were built with subsidies to run them for 25 years. As soon as that time is up, they may no longer be worth running, especially since in many places wholesale power costs have dropped due to other subsidised wind and solar.

Also, finding sites to build wind turbines is getting tricky - you need good wind, no complaining neighbours, good road and crane access, and a good grid connection. That usually makes existing wind turbine sites excellent candidates for building bigger better turbines which are 10x the size.
