I suppose we're disagreeing on the term severity. I don't see any reason it has to to with the likelihood of encountering the bug. In my opinion severity is based on the result of something happening. Not the likelihood of it happening.

> A bridge I've never heard of in some country where I will never set foot that is on the brink of collapse is certainly not of any severity to me.

That's why you would set the priority low. You don't care if it's fixed, but that doesn't change the fact that it could kill someone and is quite a severe bug.

I've always used severity as a way of objectively classifying bugs in order to help speed up a bug triage. It works well for that.

This is one of many excellent arguments against such backdoors. The US would like backdoors into everyone's communications, and doesn't want anyone else to have them. China would like backdoors into everyone's communications, and doesn't want anyone else to have them. Every country and jurisdiction would like backdoors into everyone's communications, and doesn't want anyone else to have them.

Fusion used to be aiming at being better than fission, because that was the default post-fossil energy source.

But now renewables are cheaper than that. So the competition has gotten better since then, and continues to improve rapidly, and it's not clear fusion can ever get cheap enough to compete with them.

Another argument is that fusion reactors will require robots to maintain them (even the aneutronic ones will become too radioactive for hands on maintenance). But if you require robots that can do that, why not just develop and sell those robots, which would be generally useful?

> Out of curiosity, do you have a link to the test trials in Denver? They're not already here. Even if they're 95% of the way, if that last 5% is catastrophic failure that ends in death and destruction, it's not even close to ready for production.

Facebook ... the coronavirus of the internet.
Wind is phenomenally cheap power, total demand at night is low, and wind production is usually highest at night. I would not be surprised if it always made sense to charge up storage at night.

The only exception would be if so much storage capacity came online that the variability of wind was completely absorbed & the arbitrage disappeared.
I recently returned from Asia and completed a 14-day self quarantine. I was there most of Jan and Feb, when the virus news was emerging.

The area I was in became highly xenophobic. It was disturbing to watch.

90% of prevention is just boosting the immune system, washing hands, and not touching your face.

Carry hand cleanser everywhere and use it frequently.

When I felt a scratch in my throat I'd stop by a 7 Eleven, buy a $1 bottle of gin, and gargle.

I contemplated actually consuming the gin. But that would take a toll on the immune system :-)
Not sure what I expected but I was somewhat underwhelmed to see the oldest in Australia is Australia Post.
Further:

In a subsequent message to Trump Jr., WikiLeaks proposes what it acknowledges is "an unusual idea":

"Leak us one or more of your father's tax returns," the message suggests, "Most of the harm has already been done by the nyt [New York Times] and pre-empted by your father (tax writedowns)."

"If we publish them it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality," the message continues. "That means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing about Clinton will have much higher impact, because it won't be perceived as coming from a 'pro-Trump' 'pro-Russian' source, which the Clinton campaign is constantly slandering us with."
I’m not aware any exist, but implementations of C++11 can have garbage collection by default. https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/cpp11-library#gc-abi:

”Garbage collection (automatic recycling of unreferenced regions of memory) is optional in C++; that is, a garbage collector is not a compulsory part of an implementation. However, C++11 provides a definition of what a GC can do if one is used and an ABI (Application Binary Interface) to help control its actions.”

Not sure I want that in a TSDB!

"Reducing disk space usage by deleting unneded time series. This doesn't work as expected, since the deleted time series occupy disk space until the next merge operation, which can never occur."

Ouch. But ok, disk space is cheap.

Perhaps it was due to the ability of cotton to absorb up to 27 times its weight in water. It seems like water-saturated cotton would provide significant evaporative cooling, which might outperform wool's protective properties for short periods of time.

You can buy property and multiply its value by 10 by putting a 10 story building on it, and even sell floors on it. It happens all the time. It is simply not a fixed supply.

> Typical Caltech brat

LOL. My opinions on markets were quite atypical for Caltech students in the 1970s. They're likely even less typical today.

Setting aside opinions, I've been in business and associated with business entrepreneurs ever since Caltech. Consistently, those with positive outlooks and willingness to take action have done very well. Those with negative views and a victim mentality have all done poorly.
The uproar surrounding vaping by kids was merited as I claimed at the bottom of my post. The surrounding hysteria and misinformation were not merited.

For instance - no kids shouldn't vape nicotine.

But parents also shouldn't be misinformed and think their kids could end up in the hospital and die after only a few weeks of vaping because they saw a headline about how vaping is killing people which conveniently leave out the fact that this was only a problem with black market THC vape juice.
> Real life isn't a zero-sum game.

Wealth may not be zero-sum within the narrow artificial scope of "money", but power is zero sum. Wealth viewed as money is a sneaky neaningless distraction. Wealth viewed outside of power is meaningless.

Lets say bob and alice are in a room. They both have a nerf gun. Now bob gets a machine gun and alice gets another nerf gun. So the "wealth" in the room increased. But the power in the room didn't increase. It shifted from 50/50 between bob and alice to 100/0.

When you view wealth superficially, it's not zero sum. When you view wealth seriously, it's zero sum.

The value of wealth isn't the pile of worthless money. The value of wealth is the power it projects over other human beings.

If everyone on earth died but jeff bezos, his wealth would be meaningless. What does $130 billion mean when only he's around? It means nothing because it can't be converted to power in a world with 1 person.
Founder of RudderStack (https://github.com/rudderlabs/rudder-server - open-source alternative to Segment) here. We are SSPL and this is the feedback we get all the time.

I totally appreciate the sentiment around SSPL being not open-source but honestly, we don't know what is an alternative.
We want to build an open-source product but also build a commercial entity around it – which means we want to stop the cloud providers from offering this as a service.

We explored a couple of alternatives. AGPL does provide a similar level of protection against cloud providers – any app talking to RudderStack over an API to send events would be forced to open-source the app and hence it is almost not possible to build a SaaS service on top. But for this exact same reason, our users don’t like AGPL. AGPL is considered an absolute NO in lot of enterprises. To get around this, we have also thought of releasing our binary (and AMI images, docker images) under MIT license so that people can still run it but then but that was getting too complicated for a licensing model plus this doesn't stop AWS from offering it as a service. As you pointed out, Apache with Common Clause, CockroachDB license are all alternatives but none are true open-source.

We are just hoping that one of the big OSS guys (with the budget to pay the attorneys) will figure this shit out once for all and we can just follow.

The closed systems that "Big Tobacco" are into - the stuff that sells at corner stores and gas stations, with prefilled pods/cartomizers - is incredibly high-profit. I'd look at the tobacco industry if the push was towards closed systems, but they seem to be largely singled out as the enemy.

There are two better places to look: the pharma industry and their collection of minimally-successful smoking cessation products; and governments that are looking at enormous revenue loss, especially those that have already spent funds from the Master Settlement Agreement. (It may be worth noting, as well, that the loudest anti-smoking orgs are also getting their funding from the MSA. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see combustible tobacco disappear, but there are people of the like of Stanton Glantz who've rather enjoyed the funding, and who have demonstrably lied in their opposition to vaping.)

You won't build up immunity and could easily be re-infected. Might even be a bigger chance because your immune system will still be weak.
If a test has 5% false-positive rate, you can't just test 5 times and expect to have a <0.000001 false positive rate, maybe not less than 1% or even 4% - depends on the test and how you repeat it.

If they test you for antibodies, and your blood reacts, doing the same thing 5 or 50 times is not going to help. If you have a wobble on your EKG, it's not going away just because you measure it 10 times. Though it might, if you were just stressed the first time. Or they might find something 2 out of 10 times and then what - do you just ignore it?

To be clear, I'm not against non-invasive voluntary testing, but procedures need to be adjusted, otherwise people get treatments they don't need and suffer the effects (while also tying up actual doctors and equipment).

BTW sorry about your issues. Those were false negatives, and you had symptoms, where better/additional/more tests are warranted.

If they're going to include religious companies like the Affligem Brewery, created by Monks, then religious organizations as a whole are fair game. And the Catholic Church, or some form of Orthodox Church, precedes pretty much everything else.

I'd argue that a religion itself doesn't qualify though, it has to be a religious organization that had some level of central control, distinct from the government of nation-states (though potentially intertwined) and had assets & holdings independent of the nations they operated within.

Under that definition, I'm not quite sure when the earliest christian organization would have qualified. I know it became the official Roman religion around 380 A.D., but was it centrally organized then (or was that the advent of its central organization?) Or did that happen earlier/later?

Hi. PM on Windows Command-Line here.

The Console/Terminal team first took-ownership of the Console & Cmd codebases in late 2014, so it's been ~5.5 years.

Until v. recently, the team averaged ~2.5 devs and 0.5 PM (I had to split my time across Console and WSL).

Since spring 2019 when we began the effort to build Windows Terminal, we've grown the team to 4 devs and 1.25 PM (I am now the .25 since Terminal now has a dedicated PM).

During this time, we have shipped improvements to Console in every release of Win10, including transparent background, VT, 24-bit color, and many perf, stability, etc. fixes. But we can only do so much to the Console before we start to break users' existing systems, apps, and tools.

Since Console & Cmd's key responsibility is backward compat, we're pretty much leaving them alone.

But we're plowing ENORMOUS effort into building Windows Terminal which is shaping-up nicely for its v1.0 release this summer. Please give it a try and if you find problems, find/file issues in the github repo because, yes, Windows Terminal and Console are open-source!

> First, while some wealthy people remain wealthy, I'd guess there's a much larger impact on people who are becoming wealthy than those who are already super-rich.

Given that her proposed tax is for wealth over $50M, I'd guess there is not much impact at all on people who are "becoming" wealthy.

> If you don't comply, a bunch of agents will bust down your door at 3 AM and haul you away (see the disturbing number of paramilitary groups many federal agencies now possess). If you resist, you get killed.

The number of first-world multimillionaires brutally gunned down by federal agents because they underpaid their tax is indeed countless. I hear this is a real problem in Denmark.

I got randomly selected for the long one in 2010. There were several questions I was not able to answer but providing incorrect information is a crime and not answering is a crime. So I did nothing.

C++ is mostly an abstraction layer over C.

I would rather use C++ because i would have the option to use abstractions like std::map, std::string, std::vector, std::any etc. as they would save a lot of time and code complexity.

IMHO the worst thing about using C/C++ is getting other libraries to play with your project well even if you are using cmake or vcpkg, its not enough. You have to have solid knowledge of each operating system class to get everything working nicely over the long-term.

The law wasn’t designed with this use case in mind. It’s likely you and everyone you know break minor laws daily just by going about your day. The end result of this is wider application of flawed human judgement in enforcing laws that could be used to punish anyone at any time.

The flu regularly migrates between pigs, chickens and humans. Whenever it does, the poorly adapted flu is unusually lethal.

The misnamed Spanish flu seems to have killed by triggering a strong immune response. That response is called a cytokine storm. Which means that the stronger your immune system, the more likely you were to be hit hard. It therefore killed the reverse of the groups that normally get killed by diseases.

There is also some evidence that people who experienced the "Russian flu" of 1889-1890 had some level of protection from the Spanish flu.

Most of what the author complains about w.r.t callbacks is fixed with std::function and lambdas (member function pointer syntax is necessarily weird, because methods aren't just normal functions). I definitely don't miss the days of std::bind. Nowadays you just do something like

using Callback = std::function<int(int)>; // or whatever
Callback cbk = [&](int i) { return instance.method(i); };

I've also seen some real evil hacks that rely on casting 0 as a pointer to a class and relying on the ABI's spec for vtable layout to calculate the pointer of the function as an offset from the `this` pointer. Because that's easier to remember than the syntax for pointer-to-member functions.
> Without bonafide strong encryption, those strong protections against misuse probably can't exist.

Agreed. I actually did some work on this topic that requires having things like strong ciphers and hash functions, and protocols that provide perfect forward secrecy.

Our approach was to take strong constructions and turn them into a kind of proof-of-work. So you can recover the key, but to do so you have to expend a huge amount of electricity (ie, money).

The idea was partly just to call the bluff of the government types who claim that "exceptional access" is so critical to our safety. If they're not willing to spend the money, then we should not be willing to compromise our security.

NOTE: I'm not suggesting that we should actually deploy this kind of thing, as long as we have a choice in the matter. Just that we should be prepared in case we need it.
