The Australian Govt respects copyright a dictacted by legislation, rather than some general immunity concept. So particular legislation (such as FOI, Archives Act, etc) may dictate that copies are made and kept. In general, the Govt pays fees as would a commercial entity, but many of the use cases could be covered by a legislative requirement or a fair use provision, and it is rather baroque, and the process of legal reform is quite slow.

As to software, I don't believe any part of the Australian Govt has been sued for violation of open source copyright, and it is generally taken quite seriously at agencies like CSIRO. It has always been a big talking point for MSFT and big integrators as a reason not to use open source though.

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the F-Droid build process. You say it's possible for an application's build scripts to download binaries that don't correspond to any published source for the app, and patch them in - that seems very non-free and indeed dangerous. Is there a way of finding out if an app does this?

I also think that believing you have the source code to an app but being unable to build it because of missing, possibly proprietary dependencies is far more damaging to the FLOSS spirit than any amount of format difficulty.

Can you give some context as to why you believe it's a logic board issue? And things you've tried to get it running again?

As others have mentioned, macbook logic boards are basically the hardest out there in the consumer world. Was it a spill? spark? Localized? which part is damaged?
> I appreciate you feel the need to feel better about yourself at the expense of others by calling others names,

You have misread me. I do not feel better than anybody else nor do I feel I need to. I also do not feel that I am calling you or anybody names. I have not met you, I am confident you are a wonderful human being. It is, independent of the thinker, naive to think Mac, iOS, or Android needs Linux or BSD and couldn't be ported to or based upon something else in the start.

I mean, apart from the fact that NeXT's key pieces were also ported to NT as they struggled to find a market for NeXTstep, in Apple's search for a kernel, they also considered BeOS, and they had a short lived project MkLinux which had Linux in the same co-position with Mach as BSD has with XNU ... This reflects the attitude that any modern kernel will do, that they can swap them in and out with little consequence. A similar attitude that people advocate when saying they ought to port Android to Fuschia.

But many people also exaggerate the role of BSD in XNU. In many places there is little resemblance. They continue to diverge over time.

You have also evidently misread me on some other matters in the thread and this brings me to read your reply as a bit of a non sequitur, but it's not worth debating them and you say you're cutting me off. So I do hope you have a good day, fine sir or madam. Best regards, friend.
I’m not disagreeing with you that their are confounding factors in both directions, this is clearly true.

I’m disagreeing that at this moment - and with statistics like excess mortality in NYC, there is very good reason to believe that upward and downward pressure are not equally likely.

As to the first assumption I disagree . We have pretty good ideas of all causes rates in somewhere like NYC, we have pretty good numbers on things like accidents etc. And then sort of factors you point out like the effect of a recession aren’t on effect yet for the most part. So you have a bunch of excess morbidity, and you have pretty good local statistics in the gaps, at least locally. You are right that this doesn’t go apples to apples in other places but we aren’t doing that so it does matter.

There is one kind of interesting wrinkle, you may have stress related impacts that show up even on a short timeline. So there is a question if you can/should attribute those and you can pick reasonable ways, either choice .

Flu isn’t likely going to be confounded too badly because people are going to be focussing in the counfounding impacts (e.g. of isolation). It just seems strange to me to assume this will be a problem , some people involved are good at this sort of analysis . Much more likely that a decent job will be done and the estimation errors will have wider bounds.

I guess I just don’t see any data to support your pessimism , on that , but I could be wrong of course. I mean this sort of modelling isn’t easy but it is doable.
That's the odd thing. To provide a custom aircraft with custom parts you have to do all the analysis and testing. The person installing each part then needs the manual for that part to installing it. The creation of manuals is organic to the creation of a new aircraft. To see manuals as a separate, very expensive, line item is odd.

But we must remember a famous line from a bad movie: "You don't actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?" Given what this aircraft is, what it does, I think it safe to assume a high degree of vagueness and miss-labeling in the non-classified version of the budget.

Interestingly, I've never been a fan of video tutorials in the past, but have tried using them in the past weeks. There are some aspects of it I like. It's easier to keep attention with a video than a large wall of text these days (though it used to be the opposite). Unfortunately, it's not so easy to skip around content in a video, for example to avoid useless filler content or to return to a small chunk of content to review.

A number of top apple repair places, like Rossman repair group and iPad rehab, clearly do not use an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, reflow oven, or vacuum chamber on any if the repairs I've seen. You do need a reasonably good soldering iron, hot air tool, multimeter and magnification. The most used tools could probably be assembled in cheaper starter form for $1k, but some repairs would only need a subset of those. And Rossman repair guides will step you through anything that can be done with the smaller art of tools.

I don't know how stay or not your hands are. I've learned that you don't need rock steady hands for most fine hand soldering, but you likely would need them for putting dmm or oscilloscope probes on fine features. I find that good magnification makes it easier to steady my hands.
I don't think Boeing does the repair, but rather Air Force personnel.
Couple of notes: You don't necessarily need the full maintenance manual to support initial installation. And the project may have been broken out differently to make the rest of the aircraft's sums seem more palatable -- bureaucratic budgetary games.

That was probably before the change last fall [1] to have an SLA for single-"node" instances. At $0.90/hr per "node" for a Regional setup in Iowa, that's just over $650/month. Note that I put "node" in quotes, because it's hard to remember that "num nodes" != num replicas [2].

We "require" (I don't know if this is a hard requirement, but let's assume it is) a node per 2 TB of storage [3], so the example for Quora of "tens of TB without counting replicas" would probably be 15 nodes at 30T and say 50 nodes at most (100TB).

Assuming 50T as a balance, you'll need at least 25 nodes and let's assume regional pricing (since the MySQL example isn't going to be multi-regional by comparison). That's 25 x $.9/hr x 730 hours/month (~$16500) plus 50T of storage at $.3/GB/month (another $15k). So just over $30k/month or $360k/year. As for qps, we quote the multi-regional variants at 7k read qps per node (so 175k in this example) and ~2k write (so 50k).

That's all in though, so you'd need to compare to the cost of running a fleet of MySQL boxes too (at a minimum you'll also need ~75-ish boxes, just like the 25x3 for Spanner), 150T of raw storage (assuming 1 master and 2 read replicas per shard, which is pretty common) and then Zone to Zone egress (I believe Quora is on EC2). I'm assuming they're using gp2 volumes at $.10/GB/month, so that's the same $15k/month of storage. Being cost-conservative and assuming r5a's and 3-yr RIs, you pay about $18/month per thread, so we can buy up to 833 threads of r5a for the remaining $15k/month. That's maybe close to feasible (~11 threads per box), but honestly you probably need 16+ or even 32 for traffic this high (depends on query caching).

tl;dr: I don't think Spanner's pricing is higher than the sharded mysql fleet in this example! I do think it's not available on AWS or on-premises though, so that's a fine disqualifier for Quora.

That is a great quick read. All of those points land nicely, with one exception from my perspective:

> We must learn to welcome whatever comes to us and trust that it happens is for the best.

I think maybe that was reworked and an extra word for left in, or another got left behind in error...

But aside from that, the idea that even bad things were meant to happen for a reason, that somehow later we will come to understand -- that seems to imply a faith in some God or "universe" watching out for us, which seems counter to the general tenets of Stoicism.

We can choose to rationalize bad things happening in a way that tries to find opportunities for growth and learning. But that is different than trusting that it is all "for the best."

That is what people said, and yet still repair techniques are devised. The cryptographic storage is not tamper proof and thus is all the more reason to repair a board at least well enough to recover your data.
>What happens when you actually fall inside a black hole and what is the singularity.

Black holes were sometimes called "frozen stars", because time slows down at the event horizon to a stop. If light could escape from black holes and somehow the material continued to emit/reflect light despite time being stopped for it, then as outside observers, what we would see is the star at the moment it collapsed to the size of its event horizon. Though if you entered the event horizon, from your point of view you would see time progressing again inside.

An object falling into a black hole would often go through the process of "spaghettification", being pulled apart because the gravity from the black hole on the close side of the object would be immensely stronger than the gravity on the far side of the object. Though It's possible for a black hole to have an event horizon large enough that the point where spaghettification is beyond it; I think Interstellar had some line to imply that about their black hole.

>I never really understood what happened really when the guy fell inside it in Interstellar and how come he started seeing all those photos. I just accepted it as Hollywood bs.

In the movie, it was supposed to be that the same aliens (well, future humans) that had constructed the original wormhole had also connected another wormhole inside the blackhole. On the inside of the second wormhole, they brought him into a constructed environment to use him as a tool to encode a message to the past to himself that would be able to get him to arrive here in the first place. I think the vague idea of the future-humans was that they used the spacetime-warping nature of the black hole to somehow transcend space and time in our future, but as a nearly one-way trip: they could only interact with our universe / the past through warping gravity (vibrations or making wormholes), and inside the black hole, they had more freedom to do this, and they used that to make the interface for the main character. (Story-wise, I think it seems like good contrivance to allow the mysterious benefactors that ability to give some help, but without being able to do everything and still allow the relatable modern human characters to do all the interesting detail work.)
Ask HN: Writing a Resume for Easy Parsing?
Hi folks,

Does anyone have a doc template, or something along those lines I can use to format my CV so the auto-parsers in use get the data out correctly? I find myself constantly having to cut/paste to fix it up in pretty much every online application portal I've used so far. Tried everything from a plain/txt to tables and paragraphs and well, it's a bit of a shit-show and incredibly time consuming.

Thanks!
I think most people have a capacity for introspection, but some need more direction than others to actually do it and connect the dots. So maybe a core personality trait is largely unchangeable, but being able to recognize its existence and zero in on how it is affecting your life can lead to some real breakthroughs.

I don't know if the best person to help someone through this process of introspection is a psychologist or a life coach or a spiritual director or a teacher or a stranger in a coffee shop, but it seems like there's a place for it somewhere.
Ask HN: Which book should I pick up to learn JavaScript as a complete novice?
I was looking for a physical book (paper) to learn JavaScript. I did a number of Google searches and read reviews but most books seem to presume that the reader knows at least the fundamentals of JavaScript and has some experience tinkering with it. Could you please list some books to learn JavaScript from the ground-up (starting with fundamentals), the book teaches from ground-up and assumes no previous knowledge on the reader's part except HTML and CSS? In addition, while I will practice writing JavaScript along with reading the book, the book, while starting with basics, should be packed with enough information so that I can build a cool web app by the end of reading it. with Furthermore, if possible could you link a webpage with a good list of books to learn JavaScript for a complete novice, to both programming and JavaScript, having never written code except HTML and CSS. If possible, the book should teach ES6. Please do not suggest Eloquent JavaScript and You Don't Know JS Yet by Kyle Simpson because I have already taken a look at it and it is a more 'intermediate' book in my opinion. The author himself notes - "If you are new to programming or JS, be aware that these books are not intended as a gentle "intro to JavaScript." This material is, at times, complex and challenging, and goes much deeper than is typical for a first-time learner. You're welcome here no matter what your background is, but these books are written assuming you're already comfortable with JS and have at least 6–9 months experience with it." . Thank you for your help!

No, things cost what buyers are willing to pay. Transparency would be saying the product costs the total sum so that everyone making purchasing decison knows the total cost. A manual in this case is as much part of the plane as is the wing! The product is a pile of metal without the docs. Is there a separate cost like this for R&D,labor,parts,paint, "service charge"? I mean come on,imagine the outrage here if microsoft made msdn cost even $10/year!

Salaried employees don't get paid by hour our output. If it takes a team a half a year to write the doc, they still get paid for the rest of the year.

Regardless, the cost nevet reflects the effort put into it. It is simply what they charge because they can and because the buyer pays and because the competition is not offering something better when bidding.
The reason people say not to roll your own crypto is that there is no secret answer to making things secure, we just have smart and creative people bash their heads against a crypto protocol/implement for a long time and hope we found all the problems.

So unless you have a good reason to do something else, and the budget to pay experienced people to bash their heads against it, you should stick to an implementation that has had this effort expended on it.

If you want an intro about common problems in custom cryptosystems, go look at cryptopals or something, but don't get too cocky that you know everything.

It would be obvious if they tried to get precise location (GPS) as that requires a discrete permission. However, precision location is a red herring -- it isn't needed for intelligence purposes. They are much much more interested in the social graph. From that they can likely back track to calculate approximate location (using cell positioning information and other sources).

Last I looked the OpenTrace was exchanging an encrypted binary blob generated by the government, likely a unique identifier key and timestamp, which could be updated on demand by the server/app owner. Basically there is no anonymity for the user versus the Govt, only somewhat against other users.

> SQL deals with "sets"

SQL deals with tables, and all operations are working on tables. However... these tables are bags of rows, not sets, as evidenced by:

1. "distinct" transforms bags into sets

2. "union all" preserves bags

3. the ability to create a table with no primary key, allowing entirely duplicate rows in a table

4. the ability to select columns not including a primary key, allowing duplicate rows in the resulting table

> ... which are unordered

While (base) tables themselves guarantee no order:

1. every "select" is itself returning a table, which can absolutely have an order.

2. a "view" is a (derived) table, and it can guarantee an order

3. aggregate functions rely on ordering

> I think this is an excellent design.

Your approach would be an excellent design.

Honestly, I've always enjoyed chasing the "rabbit hole" that came with solving problems. I'm generally poor at putting my thoughts into concrete descriptions, but I'll attempt. It used to be something like this:

I have some sort of problem, ideally one that intrigues me, because it's not obvious. I would dive into it, and it would lead down to a rabbit whole of other issues and subjects I would research and would come out with a solution, having been engaged the whole time.

Nowadays, problems I encounter are either incredibly shallow, being caused because of some carelessness by myself or someone else and often solved with a 5 minute search, or the complete opposite, too complex for me to even get started with, as people much smarter than me.
