> Device managers don't care about Linux anyway, and wouldn't suddenly start caring if Linux announced a stable ABI.

From what I've seen, facilitating proprietary drivers seems like the motivation of most people lamenting the lack of a stable ABI. An example of this being the comment I responded to; "Linux purposely makes proprietary drivers crap. [...]"

Discounting proprietary drivers under the assumption that they wouldn't be written anyway, what does a stable ABI afford us? Out-of-tree FOSS drivers? In other words, drivers that aren't good enough to be accepted into the kernel?
Probably because desktop users expect their hardware to continue to work for a long time and to keep up with OS updates. For mobile people have been conditioned to accept throwing away and buying a new device every 2 years.
How strong is this effect relative to other effects though? With small effects, you get an increased risk of error in the analysis as there could be confounding variables not fully accounted for, reporting errors, etc.

How would this compare, for example, to not smoking, drinking less alcohol, wearing sunscreen, safe sex, not exercising enough, etc.

(Picked things that I think we have a high standard of evidence for and fairly large effect, but that people often neglect due to wanting to do the harmful activity, as with red meat)

For years low salt recommendations were justified based on lessened harm "on a population level" even if individual gains were small. Now it seems that these recommendations were wrong, according to Cochrane reviews.
Hopefully not a dumb question, but why not use QEMU?

Also... can someone weigh in on why the likes of Linux VServer and OpenVZ became dormant??

My question to you is why do you choose to prioritize that problem?

Yes, $70 million to the execs while many earn minimum wage sure does sound awful. But like OP says, even if you achieved resounding success in eliminating this inequality, it translates to a $32/yr raise. That rounds down to zero in terms of improvement in prosperity.

Isn't prosperity of the rest what we really ought to care about? It seems an awfully lot like focusing on the cosmetically ugliest problem that doesn't really move the needle.

Monosodium glutamate is a salt not an amino acid. It does not disassociate perfectly (or instantly) in the gut and uptake through the digestive system is slow [1].

There are several steps before your metabolic system can turn MSG into amino acids and surprise, surprise: until then it behaves like a different chemical.

The current scientific publishing method is pretty much dead. It is absurd, biased, produces terrible results. Promotes inept research, unimaginable waste.

Yet dead as it might be most decision-makers and other leeches of science will pretend that it is just fine and alive. They will continue to do so for many years. Decades perhaps.

It is like watching Weekend at Bernie's.

This attempt of Nature is little more than holding up Bernie, waving his hand. Look, it is moving! It is not dead.

I guess it's sort of like Transfer on Death (TOD) accounts, which receive special treatment in estate law. In a contested inheritance people can still make claims to TOD assets, but because they automatically transfer to a particular recipient upon notice of death it changes the facts on the ground, both from a legal posture but also just as a practical matter. For example, a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush--the receiver of TOD assets may be willing to walk away with less than they might be able to claim simply to avoid litigation.

It also makes things easier and cheaper for the fiduciary (e.g. bank, insurer, etc) because they don't have to be mired in any litigation. They transfer the assets to the TOD beneficiary as a matter of course and nobody can challenge it; if you don't like it you sue the nominal beneficiary.

As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I don't think that products like this help anyone. It might seem harmless, and maybe it will be, but only if few end up using it. Otherwise, it's not going to help people expand their social abilities, their sense of self value, etc.

A friendship based on withheld communication is dysfunctional.

"...touched down about abeam taxiways T/F (about 1950 meters/6400 feet past the threshold, about 1000 meters/3300 feet before the runway end)"

Before everyone jumps on Boeing, unless some additional news breaks about a mechanical failure this is pilot error pure and simple. If you're landing 2/3rds down the runway, you should be initiating a go around well before the wheels hit the ground.

It may come out that there was a mechanical failure which prevented go-around, in which case I'll eat my words. If not, the pilots acted grossly irresponsibly.
Nothing short of inquisition-style inspections of company servers, code, and networks is going to fix it on that front. We'll have to do some really radical invasions of company privacy before it results in more than fines-as-a-business-expense.

I recently tried kava, and found it to be quite relaxing. I found the numbing effect to be mild, even after having quite a few, and otherwise would compare the experience to drinking coffee (but obviously going the other direction) in the sense that it was enjoyable and seemed mostly harmless. It had the added benefit of being a way to enjoy a night out with a friend in a sort of bar like atmosphere, but without the negative effects of alcohol. In fact, I think what was most noticible was that the atmosphere was festive and convivial, but without all the stupid bullshit that happens with drunk people. I would recommend trying this to anyone looking for that kind of alternative.

If there was a downside, it was that getting myself stuck with a $70 kava-bar tab from tieing one on in the Haight kind of made me want to rethink my life choices at the end of the night. On the other hand, much greater regrets can be had from going out drinking...

Facebook is killing it. It's harder than ever to justify spending a lot of money on Google.
I think you are conflating the seller and buyer side. In Google's case the CPC is actually a revenue and they do not see it as cost as the marketers you described. So from marketers' POV, yes, conversion makes more sense. From Google's POV they couldn't care less I think.

And the important thing is the trend, not the actually quarterly numbers anyway. Which I assume would be the same even if we took a look at the conversions.
You might be interested in LXC if you haven't seen it already. It is also a big tool, but it is smaller than Docker.

> Imagine that say a Chechnyan separatist group detonated a nuclear warhead on U.S. soil.

What sort of response would having low-yield nukes enable? Drop a 1-kiloton bomb on a Chechnyan neighborhood in Russia? That hardly seems less insane. What sort of problems can low-yield nukes address that cruise missiles or guided non-nuclear bombs couldn't?

EDIT:

> "A 5kt nuke that blows up a roughly 150m radius and causes negligible fallout could be used [...] without causing massive diplomatic problems."

I have serious doubts. Even a single atmospheric test of such a nuke in the middle of Nevada would probably cause a diplomatic incident. Why would using such a nuke on foreign soil cause any less trouble?
Yeah, no disagreement there. Doing it right is first resort, avoidance is a last resort, and in between might involve a jungle of Is There A Process, can we change it, why not, does literally everyone else hate this guy too and is afraid to say anything, was this guy just hungry or something, is there some reason we can't fire him..&c&c and then maybe the last resort. I have barely any context, I don't want to speculate.

Something similar happened in production at work last year, fortunately not in my team.
This way of interpreting the data is misleading. For population, it still could mean nothing. People are not living in an isolated environment just eating red meat or processed food and do nothing else. At the population level there are way more factors need to be considered. You can't even imagine how many things in the society will be impacted if people stop eating red meat or the processed food. CVD will be the least of concern at the population level.

So, yes, this tiny effect size means nothing.

Moreover, this tiny effect size could be much smaller than noises in the data.
How about you do something constructive instead and propose a better alternative. You're just "poisoning the well" with empty accusations and ignoring how successful the scientific method has been.
The only effect I ever experienced drinking Kava some 30 years ago was that my tongue went numb... severely so :)

Speaking as a software engineer working on the devops side of things, it's best to have someone with experience in scalable architectures from the get go, otherwise things might get really complicated really fast if you want to transition an existing project to a more scalable, observable hosting platform.

All I will say is that our latency getting a business entity in or out of a SQLite database (running on top of NVMe flash) is on the order of tens to hundreds of microseconds. There will never be a hosted/cloud offering that can even remotely approach this without installing some "bring the cloud to you" appliance in your datacenter.
1. if the device has a name -> always assume it is vulnerable

2. hope you disabled upnp, the device doesn't have NAT hole punching, and doesn't "require" internet access for some reason like... cloud backup of logs or update checks

3. configuring firewalls and routers is hard. but plugging devices into power is easy. people always go the easy route.
I am genuinely curious why these comments criticizing the current process of peer review and publishing are being downvoted.

In my ten years of working in academia i have not met anyone who was happy with the current state of things.

So i would be very interested to know are there so many scientist on hn who are happy with peer review process, are there many programmers who want to protect science, or are these comments terrible in some other way to deserve downvotes.
I sure hope it's a war on VVC. I don't know why anyone would want a patent encumbered pay-to-use video codec over an open free one unless you're a stakeholder.

According to the NHS who also did this study, this is the definition of 'processed food'...

I think it's dangerous to use the term processed when it's clearly just the fat, sugars, or other added chemicals and usually not the process that is unhealthy. 'Freezing and baking' is not unhealthy and yet they are what the NHS considers 'processed'.
The whole point of the article is that rogue waves aren't just built from regular waves syncing together...
Interesting how the numbers are pumped up for the headline.

The risk is increased by 7% for eating processed meat, not red meat. And the actual numbers are:

processed meat: you would increase your risk by 0.4% over 10 years, 1.02% over 20 years and 1.74% over 30 years
red meat: 0.17% over 10 years, 0.41% over 20 years and 0.62% over 30 years
poultry: 0.20% over 10 years, 0.54% over 20 years and 1.03% over 30 years
The dishonesty doesn't help anybody, and it makes navigating the relationship more difficult for all parties. Empathic dishonesty is a consequence of poor social skills, where people don't know how to be truthful and set boundaries without being hurtful.
Yeah. I'd say it was like I took half a Xanax. Relaxing and mildly dis-inhibiting, but I couldn't get to sloppy. I'd call it pleasantly relaxing, but not terribly strong. Perhaps out of an abundance of caution, I would hesitate to drive home after having a lot of it, or if I wasn't a seasoned kava drinker.
>Why do you assume that daycare staff are minimal wage workers as opposed to well paid professionals that know more about intellectual enrichment and child psychology than the average parent?

I didn't assume it, I looked up what they tend to get paid and what qualifications are typically required to have that job. They tend to get paid around minimum wage, and they typically only need a high school diploma.

>Why are you assuming a career means "slaving away for corporate masters" as opposed to a myriad of ways one can work to enrich the world around them while at the same time being paid (academia, small business, art/design work, community work, the vast majority of lifestyle business, social purpose work, solving intellectually interesting technical problems, etc)?

Because that's what most people do.

>There are people that love their creative jobs, and we should not pretend they are unicorns or that they have to sacrifice their child's upbringing.

I'm sure there are some people like that, but the vast majority of children do not have two parents that fit in that category.

>What you describe sounds borderline selfish to me.

It is explicitly so.

>I get you are trying to suggest something good, but a person can make the world better (and even be paid for it) without compromising how much they care for their child.

Maybe some can. Most people aren't going to make the world better through their corporate job, and are going to compromise on how much care they give their children in order to do it. It doesn't make much sense to set society's expectations so that they only really work for exceptional people. They will do fine. They need to work for regular people.

>But then why not advocate that our communities try to make more people's lives easier?

I do advocate that. Raising children well so that they are not a problem for other people later in life is part of it. Encouraging stay at home parents to work to build their community once their children are old enough not to need full time care, rather than going back to being a corporate drone, is another thing I advocate.
This hasn't happened, as far as we know - largely indicated by the fact no one's been detonating nuclear weapons they have.

There has not, in fact, been a proliferation of nuclear weapons to non-state actors as people predicted might happen when the Soviet Union broke up. Because if you're a terrorist group with a nuclear weapon, why would you not use it as soon as possible, given that it's a large, hard to obfuscate item which you're otherwise likely to use (and would represent the most incredible asset you're ever going to have).
How about no free stuff on the web? Charge for services and make it illegal to sell private information without the subject’s consent and remuneration.

Best option is to transition internally. You can do that gradually, and you already have the tribal knowledge, reputation, and internal connections to make things easier. If there's no internal path you can try to make the leap elsewhere but this will be harder to land.
> There are a category of people that vaccines are useless for.

And as long as everyone else interacting with those people are vaccinated, those people will benefit from herd immunity. That is: vaccines are prevention, even for those people who cannot be vaccinated.

> So why do people get so irrational around any discussions about vaccines?

Because "discussions about vaccines" almost always ends up being a dogwhistle for "vaccines are harmful" and/or "people who can be vaccinated shouldn't be vaccinated".
Who says the hardware doesn't have a separate IC overriding the ostensibly clean firmware? So you need not only verified hardware schematics, but also verification that the hardware you're running is actually based on that verified design. For which there is currently no way of doing that, as far as I know. You need to either trust the vendor at some level, or treat every device as hostile - while still getting its intended use out of it.

Someone explained to me once that they had a friend who always cancels on them, or vice versa and they always cancel on them. And it was an open secret between the two of them that they both strongly hate going out, like serious dread feeling. So they would make plans with each other, or even have a standing date... and rather than anyone getting upset when someone inevitably decides to cancel the plans, both of them actually get a huge euphoric rush each time.

It's such a relief whenever they found out they don't really have to go out today!

They were best friends, and they hardly ever saw each other. At least that's exactly how they described it to me... (or, if anyone else has seen this show and remembers, maybe that didn't happen, but I guess it was believable anyway!)
