> What are the latency expectations within the system when my node is asked for a Proof of SpaceTime?

We want them to be as low as possible, but the practicality of getting messages included into a blockchain, and the high cost of running snarks means its definitely on the order of minutes, realistically in the tens of minutes.

A few things to note, the Proof of SpaceTime happens over all of your sectors, not just one. So that ten minutes of GPU time per day is amortized across all of the data you are storing.

> Is it feasible to keep the sealing data, delete the file itself...

Yes, thats feasible if the file you are downloading is already sealed (note: sealing generates a piece of data unique to you, so wherever else that thing is stored is effectively your owned storage). This isnt really different than you having your data stored on a NAS box somewhere. What you cannot do is download the original unsealed data and hope to respond to the challenge in time, as that would require rerunning the expensive sealing process.

I've worked remotely for 8 years.

It's more different than people think.

IMO the entire way your team operates needs to be centered around them being remote. The worst is hybrid teams where they are half remote and half in office. I don't think they work well anyway you do it.

Also some people just aren't very suited for remote work, they need to be physically around their co-workers.

If you are curious about more details, the REMOTE book is a good primer on the different ways of working remotely compared to in an office. https://basecamp.com/books/remote

I find the annoyance annoying, overlooking how "poor" has been lifted to heights unthinkable not long ago - and prompting my earlier comment. Those who have had cellphones for all adulthood don't grasp how limited much was not long ago; methinks many need a reality check on what basic living entails (I grew up with wood heat, no A/C, significant homegrown food, walk 2 miles in a blizzard for help when car slid into a ditch, hand-typed individual copies of resume, etc). Most "shackling" is for want of imagination to do, not resources/opportunities. I'm deeply concerned that so many think they're "poor" when they do in fact have far more resources & opportunities than "rich" (or at least "middle class") did not long ago.

I'm curious... if the RGB values are all accurate, is there a standard color and exposure calibration for paint swatches that is shared across brands?

The white point (color temperature) is easy, using whatever light source they're being illuminated with.

But what determines whether a particular white is (240, 240, 240) or (250, 250, 250) or (255, 255, 255)? The exposure seems far more arbitrary. Is there some kind of maximally bright matte "reference white" material photographed next to each swatch, that then gets calibrated to (255, 255, 255) or similar?

If so, it would be pretty cool if you could buy a reference white chip like that, hold it up to a painted wall in your house, and have an app that could take a photo with both and output the "true" current paint color.

Arthur C. Clarke predicted that computers would usher in an age of telecommuting more than 50 years ago: https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/arthur-c-clarke-predicted...

As with most predictions, there's a difference between predicting something existing at all, vs. predicting normalization/ubiquity; so there's a sense in which he was accurate, and a sense in which he missed the mark.

There are a million little reasons why physical proximity still makes a difference to company culture and human behavior, so some amount of that will always be with us. But I think it's fair to say that while we'll partially regress to the mean after Coronavirus blows over, the rate of WFH-friendliness will end up being significantly higher. (Depending on how long the scare lasts, the necessity of distributed-first culture changes might even grease the wheels for hiring remote workers, leading to secondary effects on the labor market.)

> at least they don't leak visitors' data to various shady third parties

One would have to be extremely paranoid to think that most mainstream third-party data analytics providers are "shady", most of these providers (Segment, Amplitude, etc) all have clauses in the contracts that specify the end-user (the company in this case) as the owner of the data, and limit their usage of data to providing the services (meaning they're contractually obligated to NOT sell or do anything with the data).

In any case, it's a meaningless distinction, as the company could easily record all this data with native, first-party JS and proxy it to anyone they want on the backend and you would have no idea and no control over such a thing. This is already starting to happen, making all of the fuss about third-party metrics effectively just "privacy theater".

At the end of the day your behavioral data is going to the party whose software you're using, and if you don't trust them there is nothing that is going to stop them from doing whatever they want with that information.
So, on my team, juniors can create feature branches and easily deploy a feature branch to a ‘staging’ server.

If the feature is deemed good, an ‘admin’ will ‘finish’ the feature and it is merged into develop branch.

Then, when we are ready for a release, the ‘admin’ will create a release and both develop and master are updated.

Updating master triggers a webhook that deploys the release.

For a hotfix, the release step is skipped, but both develop and master are updated, again causing the webhook to trigger a deployment.
I kinda meant how Tesla shows the 360 view around the car in the dashboard which is fused from different sensors.

I imagine Waymo has even better visual. Seeing all objects, their previous trajectories, their possible future trajectories. Car lanes, traffic signal etc.

Surely one would be able to just look at that and decide, should I merge or not. It’s a way better view than side mirrors.

Basically I just want a 360 object view around the car on a heads up display as I’m driving. That would augment me as a human to be a better driver. Also alert me when it’s likely to be dangerous.

Basically the blog is saying, Waymo driver has superhuman eyes.
I bet 99% of that 12MB is graphical assets: different sized icons for different display geometries. I always found asset management for multiple platforms to be most annoying when developing for mobile.

Ask HN: Anyone using ZeroMQ in production? Experience?
A few times I've toyed with 0MQ but stopped there. I had one use case that was promising but was running into reconnection problems for transient clients. I have another project that I think might be a good fit, but I'm concern about cases that might come up in production that I'm not familiar with.

I'm interested to hear from people that have or are using it in production and how it's was. What communication patterns did you use and did you have any issues you had to work around (like queue disconnects - Paranoid Pirate Pattern vs Simple Pirate Pattern)?

It serves to maintain the legal fiction that a bicycle is an automobile. Strong athletes, who are the people involved in crafting bicycle legislation, prefer it that way. Pedestrians also prefer it that way.

It does a huge disservice to less-athletic people who might benefit from bicycle use. These people are far too slow to be in the road. They really need to be on the sidewalk. They could go in the road opposite to traffic, pulling off whenever a car approaches. Either way, they would walk the bicycle through intersections.

The typical bicycle user is far more like a pedestrian than like a car, and ought to be legislated as such, but our laws were written for the most serious and dedicated bicycle users.

I too am scared of trying to onboard a new-hire (especially a junior) in a completely remote fashion. Part of this is because we are not set up nor do we have the proper support; but this seems a little chicken v. egg.

Maybe you should just not use the service if you're so against them marketing and tracking user behavior in an extremely standard way.

If the market trades Filecoins too high, won't it become a cost burden to those wanting the service? And so then I will leave Filecoin, and there won't much data to store. Until you fix price Filecoin, the technical market will be sullied by the financial markets.

As an example, if my ec2 prices went up in line with Amazon stock, I would be paying 5x the cost compared to z few years ago - which means I would have left to digital ocean, and AWS would lack customers. Lagged hype would falsely bolster the stock price.

Regulation, particularly tax law, is the super critical tail that wags many of farmers' actions. It basically makes sense: the economics of farming, on its own, are terrible, and you'd like to have a steady diversity of farmers even if, say, the transport system shuts down (9/11? coronavirus paranoia?).*

So if your idea doesn't interlock with the existing tax code forget it. But if it can, sure.

* ag consolidation has followed the same permissive path that other industries have over the last 40 years thanks to supine antitrust regulators. And that consolidation has lead to modern sharecropping which I think is bad all around. But my point stands.

Yes, trusted computing is currently mostly used to curtail user freedom - generally in the name of security. And yes, implementations make use of a cryptographic root of trust to realize their design goals. It doesn't have to be that way though.

I'm fine with a root of trust I have complete control over, and a trusted computing chain built on that would be welcome. Such an arrangement would do nothing to curtail my freedom, since I could install my own keys and thus firmware. And it wouldn't require any additional trust in the hardware vendor beyond what I already place in them. It could even ship with the vendor's keys installed by default, the same way Secure Boot works today.

I'd still have mixed feelings about something like SGX (in its current form) being standard in consumer hardware though, since at its core it consists of the hardware working against the owner. I can see why such an arrangement is desirable for cloud providers, but widespread consumer adoption would allow a third party (presumably a content provider) to require its use as part of a DRM scheme.

That being said, even SGX could be made palatable if there was no vendor provided key in the hardware at all and it instead attested everything with _my_ key. This would still protect remote systems against myriad forms of physical attack and allow for screening VMs from each other, all without compromising the integrity of my system (from my perspective). The downside, of course, is that it would require actually trusting your cloud provider.

It seems like they need to work on their termination processes to do everything in backoffice systems all at once. As a quick fix, they could edit the permissions DB. A better fix would be to have separate internal and external users in different tables and a different login system to prevent access commingling, and termination would be much easier. Then, it wouldn't affect the public-side. If they wanted to, add an employee decoration boolean to their public user which wouldn't cause security problems.

IMHO GitFlow often works, as is a decent baseline.

When people don't use GitFlow (i.e. people starting their adventure with git, with no supervision), very often they report to one of the above:

- one master, and SVN-style

- personal branches, and marges in all directions

- even more mess

Sure, they may be projects in which a different commit/branch/merge workflow is better. (In many projects I did some adaptations for GitFlow, depending on the project scope, scale and skill of programmers.)

However, the original author, after a long criquite recommends nothings (to my disappointment). So, what's the point? Going back to this "anyting marges with anything" branch Wild West, as a baseline?
