And here I thought the lesson was that in a world filled with assassins to the point of necessitating some code of conduct, where there is a man spoken of around the world as the Bogeyman, it is in particular a terrible idea to, after his retirement and the death of his lover, steal his car, kill his dog, and leave him for dead.

Spoiler warning:

I mean, yeah, there is some more food for thought in there :

-The violence endemic to the conflict between man and the system in which he operates: (Wick and the Continental)

-The face of violence embodied by the struggle between personal/professional loyalty: Wick, and the Manager of the Continental.

-The violent fruits of man's will to free himself of the constraints of a system designed specifically to constrain him: Wick's breaking of the code.

-The tendency of violence to beget and amplify itself in the absence of some braking force.

-That violence exists as a universal tool in the toolset of interpersonal conflict, and a view of the world if it were shaped around an organized deployment thereof outside of our current set of institutions that we entrust with controlling the application of violence.

C'mon though, let's not pretend the movie justifies anything. It's Art. It isn't there to be blamed as a causative factor, it's there to be appreciated and moved by. To make you think, feel, and give you a new perspective. If John Wick can be credibly pointed to as a causative factor of escalating violence, then clearly Andy Warhol caused obesity and consumerism with his soup can, Dali causes people to be tardy, Clive Cussler is a leading cause of totally badass and inexplicably effective oceanographer cum international crisis resolvers, H.G. Wells caused the atomic bomb, Orson Scott Card already laid out how we'll handle first contact, and Oscar Wilde created the surveillance hellscape in which we live.

We may be moved by what we see, but in the end it is we ourselves that are the causative factors. We react, we integrate, we sculpt spots for each other to settle into through what we knowingly and unknowingly do.

Does Art shape culture? Or culture shape Art? Are the Artists warning us of what is to come, or are they tangifying the steps in the direction society is already progressing towards? We can't say for certain, but in the absence of an authoritative answer, I'd wager there us a dynamic equilibrium at work that is starting to be compensated for, depending on where individual decisions of sentiment end up pointing.
Do the police face any retaliation from blowing up houses through guns? Is there any way to retaliate police violence without getting the death penalty?
Thanks for reading my article. I agree this is overkill for this specific Coronavirus outbreak. The point of my article, though, was to show that with little outlay you can prepare yourself for a wide range of risks. In a city I think it’s important to prepare yourself for being able to stay in one place, without external resources, for some time, how much time is entirely up to you.

I see a lot of people here panicking and buying up all the toilet paper and hand sanitizer because they have never thought of this before. It’s best to be prepared, or at least thoughtful about your approach.
Then take legal recourse. If it’s that petty it’s probably illegal. Otherwise you did something — and something at least that got some people uncomfortable. Also who asks someone out over email? Dating in the workplace is a bad idea.

Yes, I know: old, cliché crisis, but I've been bothered recently. I have no friends anymore, and limited contact with my family, with a rough past with them as well. It's been this way for a few years, and I really don't see anything changing anytime soon. Given this, I've always considered that the one facet of life I could succeed in was career. Ofc, this hasn't been the case. I'm probably a below average software developer, not terrible, or anywhere near the horror stories you might read about online, but not very good either. I'm not great at the business side of things either. (perhaps I bit better than many of the good engineer's I've met, but not remotely near good enough to be successful there). I don't believe I'm stupid, but I believe, I'm not innately smart enough to go where I want to go and that's frustrating. I feel slightly guilty though, because I'm in a better place than [probably most people around me and at my young age am much better off than any of my family before me, but I'm not happy. I basically go to work to work on things I don't care about / am bored by, only to reach the weekend and do absolutely nothing by myself in my apartment. and if this is going to be my life for the next several decades, I don't want it. I know that many people would kill for that, but idk.
It’s an easy-to-make and harmless mistake. I’m sure we do the same when we talk about stuff that isn’t software or tech

Yes the phone companies have data but it is far far less precise than GPS which was required in this case.

Additionally, Apple does not collect your location data like Google does so I am not sure why we should let Google off the hook.

> no corporation will fund clinical trials unless they're guaranteed a profit monopoly.

Every single major pharmacy company is actively developing treatments And doing clinical trials where they are in sharp competition and don’t have a monopoly. Obvious example that’s always picked up in US is diabetes. No one has a monopoly on insulin or insulin analogies and you have several corporations constantly competing and innovating improving the treatments.

The reasons for lack of development in some areas is not risk aversion from the pharma companies, it’s just that there simply isn’t a business case for investing there as oppose to other areas in the current setup.

This site is good for up to date, and fairly detailed numbers about Italy: https://lab24.ilsole24ore.com/coronavirus/

They are doing a pretty good job of testing: 4000 yesterday. Oregon, by comparison, has the capacity to test about 40 a day.

Edit: also, they are not being "drastic" enough in Italy.

SPY puts (and some others) have been good to me. I'm up about 1000% in my public positions over the past couple weeks.

I'm letting it ride until my thesis on how bad this gets pays through. It's my hedge against my world getting significantly affected by the virus.
If it's me you're referring to, take a look at my comments in this thread. I have twice explicitly drawn attention to the fact that cooperating with the police here is only to be contemplated because the person in question is white, which implicitly acknowledges that doing so would be an instance of "white privilege".
I use Vivaldi as a secondary/tertiary browser. It's a Chromium fork without the weird ad/crypto-stuff that Brave has or the shady Chinese ownership that Opera now has. (And the Android version seems to be the only browser app that's putting effort into good ChromeOS functionality.) I've never really been clear on why Brave is more popular than Vivaldi.
I played around with fly.io for a bit, it seems pretty interesting. It works pretty well too, I went through the setup for the DoH proxy and the latency I get is very similar to Cloudflare itself, so that's pretty awesome.

It seems that the autoscaling limits are only defined in the fly.toml with the soft and hard limits? It might be useful to make this easily visible under flyctl scale. Also if I delete the fly.toml, can I regenerate it easily?

As a sidenote, I was looking around for more information on the platform and looking at old hn posts. I know the company pivoted a couple of times, but all the old articles are 404ing because the blog url changed.
Salute to you. I wrote my first code the year the author of the article was born, on an HP-3000 using a teletype :). I'll be 60 next year, and currently work as a sr. devops engineer building infrastructure and toolchains on google cloud platform/GKE. It's a great gift to be able to do something you love to put food on the table, and to be able to keep doing it as long as the brain is up to the task.

AWS needs to separate one customer’s lambda executions from another’s. When you deploy Docker, isolation is guaranteed either because you do it on an underlying dedicated VM, or you give the Docker image to something like Fargate.

In this case, the main observation is different than this one, and has much more to do with sparsity (and an exponentially growing number of connections with each layer).
The third party doctrine is badly outdated in the modern world where third parties hold immense volumes of information about our locations and interactions. Since it was a court ruling that brought the doctrine into being, the passage of legislation or further court rulings can overturn it or reduce the scope. There is absolutely work for groups like the ACLU and EFF to do here.

Here in Canada several of our wireless providers banded together to fight an incredibly broad request for information about everyone hitting particular cell towers during a robbery. The crown tried to simply drop the request when challenged, but thankfully the judge didn't let them off so easily. The court issued some rather strict requirements for similar requests.

Letting the government destroy your home and not pay you is unjust. The lack of compensation is primarily what makes it unjust.
All ad networks keep revenue for themselves, so in this regard they aren't any different than Google or Facebook providing the ads. But, they also give a cut to users, so unless Brave's cut + the user cut is less than the existing ad networks' take, that's less money for publishers.
Not only did that happen to me, but Robinhood's outage (1) prevented me from selling in the morning when I tried to, and (2) didn't trigger the auto-sell 1h before market close on un-exercisable options.

Cost me $25k or so on top of the rally. Fuck Robinhood for this.
> You are presumed innocent.

This is once your case makes it to court. Police/Prosecutors are looking to find/prosecute the culprit, and will assume guilt where they think it makes sense - the court then confirms/denies if this assumed guilt was correct in a trial.
As we say in backpacking, "you pack your fears".
It is more likely tied to the lower socioeconomic status of those two groups due to historical and current bias and oppression. Any 'violent culture' you might see is a product of the larger society these groups live in and not something inherent to the groups.

Because it removes both provisioning and deployment concerns when you can build a container and then just tell Kubernetes to deploy it onto the cluster. Theres not much that goes into spinning up these managed Kuberentes clusters. Most of it is telling them what classes of instances you want created.

When you buy a large instance, you still need to set up the instance and tweak it to your application's needs. You then need to babysit this node.
Most people don't restart their browsers as often as you might think (the modern trend is very much away from desktops). Especially on mobile, where things stick around in the background without your knowledge.

> Edit: BA stock down 1.27% in after-hours trade. I guess the market has decided that this behaviour is fine.

Like you said, this basically confirms everything we already knew. So it stands to reason that the stock is already priced accordingly and a large drop wouldn’t be expected. It’s already down about 35-40% since the crashes.

The author isn't selling Brave. They mention themselves that they use FF with ad blockers.
I know very little about the actual technology, but I feel like the blurb on their front page explains this succinctly:

“ Firecracker enables you to deploy workloads in lightweight virtual machines, called microVMs, which provide enhanced security and workload isolation over traditional VMs, while enabling the speed and resource efficiency of containers”

Security of a VM + efficiency of a container.

Israel is right behind them in this regard.
Just to make a counterpoint. The wiring and many electrical devices in my house are over half a century old, the entire circuit breaker panel needed to be replaced a few years ago, the light in the bathroom actually just stopped working a couple weeks ago, i've replaced both the switch and the light fixture itself, but still no light so it's looking like it may be damage to the wiring, outlets are extremely easy to overload and a couple just don't work at all, there's actually an extension cord running from the basement through the floor connected to a working outlet there to replace one of the non-functional outlets.
DO is my absolute favorite. I really think they could be a long term winner. Their interface is so much nicer than the competitors, in my opinion. I'm not even currently a customer, let alone a shill.

No you're misunderstanding - it's not a mistake - I read quite a lot from HPC and they specifically talk about 'codes' in their literature. It's just how they use the word.

Here's one other random example that sounds normal to HPC people and bizarre to most other industries.

I upvoted because this seems so strange and meaningless. Maybe somebody can explain why it can be economic to scatter their servers all over the countryside? It's not like the cost of transferring renewable electricity is the issue here. I would think that maintenance, data transfer etc. are more costly.

First I thought that it just demonstrates portability, but https://examesh.de/en/ really does this

Larger RE plants, however, can be equipped with two, three, four or even more EDCs.https://examesh.de/en/faqs/#faq-4490
With each gear reducing your force 100 times, there would be a point when moving the next gear becomes impossible without destroying the machine.

So you either spin the fast gear an impossible number of times, or spin the slow gear with impossible force.
I'm British and "codes" sounds very odd to me in this context.

Maths retains its s because it's an abbreviation of the plural noun mathematics.
FWIW, I read up on the act and, yeah, it's total crap. Pure power grab by the AG, et. al.
I think it is fine to say that DDG targets a different userbase and that the tech community is far more comfortable thinking about computer interfaces and keyword search. But that's not the conversation that people always have about DDG. The conversation is always "why does anybody use Google anymore" and "DDG is a replacement".
Back in the 80s when most people were using DOS text screens, we would sometime play a joke on a friend/coworker. We would get on their computer and run a small terminate-and-stay-resident (background process) program called rain.com. It would sit in the background while they ran their word processor or spreadsheet. After some time, it would cause one character to “fall” down the screen. They would see it happen and not know what was going on. Then it would make another charter fall. By then, the person would usually call out to someone else to come and look at this weird thing. But then the program would up the rate and start dropping multiple charters. It kept increasing the rate and eventually all of the characters on their screen had rained down and were in a pile on the bottom of the screen. At that point, we would press some key combination and their original screen would appear. That is usually when we would let them in on the joke and reboot their machine to remove the TSR Rain.

People didn’t lock their computers back then. :)
I would say the farm equipment DRM isn't even giving the illusion of control. It's plainly obvious it restricts the equipment's use to everyone who owns them, and not in some lawfully required way. Backdoored/coincidentally-flawed software and hardware and things like that which are pervasive in tech don't get in people's way so much. As soon as flaws become more widely known they get patched. Surveillance doesn't get in people's way, directly. DRM like EME stops some copying but goes unnoticed by most, and can be rationalized easier than the farm equipment.
My experience differs.

Domain-specific optimizations do often yield order-of-magnitude improvements, but once those opportunities have been exploited, there is very often another factor of two or ten remaining.

For example, a three-line change to quicksort, not changing the algorithm at all, more than doubles its speed.

The key insight not taught is that the familiar order notation -- O(N), O(N^2) -- does not dictate what N must count. Traditionally, it counts comparisons, swaps, or other algorithmic events. Nowadays, these operations are practically free, and what matters are cache misses and pipeline stalls.

Because each miss is so devastating, it is essential to keep plenty of work in the pipeline. Interfaces should provide batched operations, because often it takes no more time to, say, produce four hashes than one.

Measurement is necessary, but since it is so hard to know whether a thing is fast, reading out the hardware performance counters is essential. How many pipeline stalls, how many cache misses, how many branch mispredictions?

Transforming "if (c) ++i;" to "i += c;" can make a huge difference, in an inner loop, when c is unpredictable. Similarly, "if (c) a -= b;" may become "a -= (-c & b);". Compilers usually will not make these transformations because they guess that c is predictable. When it isn't, you get a pipeline stall every other iteration, with 10-15 cycles down the drain each time, enough for ~40-60 useful instructions.
Sounds like this should have been agreed upon in the beginning during the contract negotiations.
Docker isn’t really designed to be a security boundary, so if you’re colocating containers from different customers (e.g. in Fargate), you need to separate them with a real security boundary like a VM. The same thing is true for lambdas: a lambda is just an archive and
the code in the archive needs to run somewhere where one customer cannot intercept another customer’s data.
At least crosvm which this is based on offers serial device emulation.

I believe you have the right to a public defender during questioning (which can happen both before and after you are charged) based on the wording of the Miranda warning:

It is a single point of failure. I want multiple smaller instances even if I’m running something trivial. It is not about scale but about reliability for us. And the moment I go with multiple instances I need something to manage that mess. Kube handles it well.

But I'm an older, wealthier individual, so....

Sarcasm aside though, seriously most of us know which party we identify with and can go to the polls with a reasonable idea who best represents our interests without reading a single news article. And if there's an exception or an event that is that overwhelmingly glaring and/or actionable, presumably we'll hear about it through other means. So to me (and I'd argue that to most people) it's not worth the mental health to even follow.

One could go farther and say a passive following of the issues is actually worse because most (all?) news sites are just trying to get eyeballs rather than inform you.
Federal public defenders have a very good reputation. State public defenders, less so. Mostly because many public defenders offices are deeply underfunded.
Must We Be Cruel to Be Kind to the Climate?
Absolutely, especially in terms of copyright and liability (of open computer systems, e.g. Germany's open WiFi nonsense).

But in some cases good enough proof of unauthorised compromise of computer systems can be collected, in those cases, why isn't there any cooperation? E.g. botnet makers.
Other countries don’t have such a militarized police force. I mean that both in terms of the arms and equipment they use and the attitude they have toward suspects (treating them as “the enemy”).
