I think higher latency will be expected as the nodes you are connected will be randomly assigned geographically, which is necessary for anonymity and security goals of the network.

But the download speed itself should be faster than what typical CDNs might offer, as all chunks could be downloaded in parallel, and in some cases the experience could be felt as instantaneous.
The effect would be a network where all content within the SAFE network would be like torrenting with guaranteed number of seeds with 100% uptime.
The only limitation would be your local bandwidth.
> I don't think it's meant to be used by consumers, but for servers or supercomputers, that kind of stuff.

Why would servers/supercomputers care about heterogeneous hardware (including multiple ISAs, even!)? If I'm playing around at home, that's great; I'd love to make a cluster out of a couple of old laptops, an old phone, and a Raspberry Pi. But at work, I'd just... buy a dozen identical servers. Even across generations, x86 is mostly uniform enough to just ignore the changes (with some minor gotchas around extensions, but if you only migrate forward that should be fine too).
It worked for me:

1. Go to your boss (or your company owner or CEO) and tell him about your willing to develop in this field.

2. Study economics. Not books (only) about startups etc, but more scientific ones.

3. If some business idea will come to your mind, just try it! It 99% times will be not successful, but you will learn something new.

4. Accept fact, that in modern economy most of results are mostly luck ;)
The SpotMicroAI project has a great community on its Slack, but the project is a bit more in its infancy than Pupper. For instance, spot micro doesn't have the software right now to make it walk quickly or trot. Pupper is at a v1.0 stage with software and build instructions already complete, but it's potentially more expensive to build than spot micro.
My volume was way down; this was strident and unwelcome.

@anewvillager, @pmiller2 thanks both, I'll look into those. I'm curious how unless they have a very large list (or bloom filter perhaps) of individual URLs. Anyway I'll find out.

@notechback, your point is quite valid but please note I have no problem with "reasonable" ads, I stated as such, only ones that are IMO excessive. And that most definitely includes animated. How the web is funded is a very good question but money-driven fuck-you rent seeking intermediaries who don't know when to stop is not, IMO, the answer. BTW the ad was not associated with the content.
I'm not sure what your point is. Most big companies use gsuite or Ms office suite, or don't because they consider Google or Ms a competitor and don't want to pay them money.

There's very few big companies that are concerned about MS or Google stealing their data. That's a concern held mostly by random hackernews commenters.
In 2019. The demand in SF has actually gone up recently.

There really isn’t any incentive to sell unless you plan on buying more homes in the Bay Area on your sale. The tax hit is too high otherwise.
This is an article from January 2020; not sure it is relevant in the current context.
A while back, possibly on HN, there was an article about why it’s generally harder to make friends or find a community after graduation. It outlined some of the requirements for developing strong friendships and community. The ones that stood out to me are:

-shared experiences

-social bonding (knowing the basics of others lives, casual conversation, etc...)

-regular serendipitous interactions with people you know

It seems to me that current online services do a great job with the first element, have mixed results with the 2nd, and fail at the 3rd.

The shared experience is amazing- games transport you to new worlds and give you something to do.

The social bonding aspect varies wildly by game and play context. I haven’t chatted socially playing an FPS online for at least 10 years, but I don’t play with real life friends. I know some guys in clans who do.

The last one, regular serendipitous interaction seems a hard fail. Basically what this means for friendships and community is that you run in to people you know unintentionally. In real life, I finally started feeling a part of my new community when I started to run into people in knew at the grocery store. I’ve started to recognize some user names on HN, which thrills me (including identifying an old college buddy I hadn’t talked to in years.) My gaming experience? I’m tossed into an experience full of 20-100 random people from all over the world, and then 15 minutes later (or at best the next day) it’s the same all over again.

A game looking to increase the social aspect of their wares should look to this third of interaction- repeatedly seeing the same people over and over again. Interestingly, back in the early days of multiplayer the constraints made this better- you had to pick a server to play on one your own, and there was generally only a dozen or so with great latency for your computer. You got to know the user names of people playing there, and technical limitations kept everything human scale (16-32 players at a time, so maybe a couple hundred regular players at most.)
That really wasn't the vibe I was getting.

There probably are legitimate technical issues with integrating Rust. That's fine; it happens. Maybe Rust will be better in the future (this was written in 2017, so maybe it already is). Or, maybe Rust will never be a good candidate for BSD. Any of these outcomes are possible.

I take issue with his tone, which is strongly reminiscent of Linus' management of Linux. He's welcome to be mean, but I would think long and hard about joining a community with a leader with such a disposition (I don't know Theo's history, so I can't say whether this is a pattern).

Being kind when running a project, especially of the scope of an operating system/kernel, is very difficult. Not everyone has the disposition to do it. You'll get Rust-fiends and Go-phers and all sorts of people who haven't contributed a single line come in and make wild suggestions that don't make sense, every day. You'll get HackerNews armchair commentators like me who think their opinion matters. In the face of this, its understandable to respond with scorn. But; enviable leaders instead form measured responses. You never make it personal. You never shut the door on suggestions.

Open Source, especially at BSD's scale, is not a one man army. Thousands of people have helped with that project, and its creator no longer has the blank check to be a dictator.

An excerpt from Bezos' 2010 Princeton commencement address [1]:

> I decided to do the math for my grandmother. I estimated the number of cigarettes per days, estimated the number of puffs per cigarette and so on. When I was satisfied that I’d come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the front of the car, tapped my grandmother on the shoulder and proudly proclaimed, “At two minutes per puff, you’ve taken nine years off your life!”

> I have a vivid memory of what happened next and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. “Jeff, you’re so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division.” That’s not what happened. Instead, my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble? My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, “Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”

Yeah maybe, but that's a pretty bleak point of view. "Sorry, you need to die so that this deadly variety can't continue to spread." I think we'd all rather give a fighting chance to anyone needing it using the best tools available.
> As a response to this, Theo asked rhetorically "Where's ls, where's cat, where's grep, and ...

For my money ripgrep knocks the socks off of grep. I can't recall if it's perfectly posix compliant but it's blazing fast and has a much nicer output.
I think this extends beyond the standard library. In my experience, once I've written a Clojure function, I rarely need to go back and edit it. The obvious, natural way to implement anything also tends to be correct, concise, generic, and efficient.

It certainly helps that the core library is stable, but that's not the only reason. Even when I'm not upgrading to a new version, Clojure code tends to be stable in a way that other languages are not. With languages like Python, Swift, or C#, I'll be constantly taking something I wrote, and modifying it to add a feature, and again to add another feature, and then re-architecting the whole thing to work in a fully generic way. Or I'm taking something obvious and simple, and changing it all around to make it more efficient.

It's not simply an attribute of Lisp. Common Lisp makes changes which are simple to describe also simple to implement. Clojure quite often makes them unnecessary.

I guess this is more target at people who want to keep up with NASA. NASA has to build SLS, the company knows that they are the only ones, so they can charge whatever they like.

Thankfully NASA is slowly moving away from insane stuff like this, but SLS/Orion are still done this way.
They are reusing very similar SRBs, which killed one crew and complicates SLS abort modes since SRBs cant be turned off and Orions parachutes will melt if they come into contact with SRB exhaust.

The RS-25 also requires Hydrogen fuel, which in addition to being a terrible first stage fuel because of its low density and heavy tankage (which is why SRBs are required) also has been a causative factor in most of the SLS delays to date.

The RS-25 is viewed as the Ferrari of engines because of its complexity and high ISP (which is only because it uses H2 as fuel). The main thing it has proven us that it’s far too expensive for any useful application. When used on the Shuttle each RS-25 had to be entirely torn down and rebuilt between flights, a process that took months and great expense.

So the SLS takes these enormously expensive engines and burns them up after each use. The only reason RS-25s aren’t long ago put into junkyards is congress trying to favor existing space contractors.

A keralox or metholox first stage would not need super expensive SRBs, would be far easier and cheaper to build. Raptors cost $2M each in prototype form and are expected to cost under $1M in production. Each raptor also provides more thrust than an RS-25, using a far denser and easier to handle fuel.
Of course, but it chips away at the Overton window, normalizing it.
It looks similar to my experience ten years ago.

Ubuntu is hardly manageable. It breaks once you tweak. I've switched to Arch:

* no Gnome, use simple DE

* ALSA, no audio normalization, no cracks

* AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/ - it has everything, if not building package is simple with PKGBUILD

It is beautiful under skin.

Bandit algorithms aren't different only because they have multiple arms. They also follow the least possible amount of harm by updating the conclusions in a Bayesian style during the entire experiment, not only on the end.

They also can stand more arms appearing during the experiment after people know more.

> because of how impossible Google has made it to distribute Android apps outside of Play.

Or because of how much of a larger audience the Play Store has.

Installing an APK from a website has never been an easier process. I do not see how Google can simplify it any more. You are asked 2 things:

- Can we allow your browser to download files?

- Can we install this app on your device?
This comment, perhaps unintentionally, does imply that the people in those countries deserve less, are less than, us. That's a morally reprehensible position to take, imo. Is that your position? Are you aware of that implication behind your comment?
You can buy the CLS6336HV servos from JX-Servo directly for about $25 each. Usually a much better deal than on Aliexpress, Banggood etc and it's pretty easy to do. The $600 price point though assumes you have a number of things already like a RPi, lipo charger, or PS4 controller.
That's awesome -- how did you find that out?
Maybe Rust fans could set up a mailing list instead of polluting the HN submission mechanism?

There is no other language that I'm aware of that does this and 'what if everybody did this?' is usually a very good indicator of whether or not a certain behavior is acceptable or not.

Consider: Rust fatigue is going to harm Rust adoption, not help it, publish your major releases widely, keep point releases of social media such as HN. The same thing happened to Perl with its zealotry, and it never recovered.
Explain how the virus could spread after they had recovered, a necessary step for which is their immune system clearing the virus.
Ubuntu has followed the same path of first building their user base on trust and quality and then monetizing it hard with various shady schemes.

Even coffee shops do it. First they sell high quality coffee for little margin and "don't expect or accept tips". Then they switch to the dark side to monetize the trust: they cut hard on materials, they pay $2/hour to employees and expect the customers to subsidize their minimum wages with tips (that are now accepted and very much expected).
You should. It was a game-changing experience for me. You will get a lot of support and help. Weekly updates and feedback on your updates will keep you on track. You can meet a lot of smart people on weekly calls.

For me, it is a game-changing experience. You should not worry about the funding opportunities right now. They are not obligatory, even if you win the tournament.
> Well it's certainly part of the reason.

No, the reason is that Trump is a historically unpopular person and President. Blaming "ballot harvesting" is hilarious on the order of claiming Russia altered vote totals.

The article makes a similar point regarding the loss of Orange County Republicans, despite the fact that their prior strength has been eroded for years based on the OC's demographic trends, the vilification of refugees in a region with a vibrant Vietnamese community, and the elimination of the SALT deduction. The article is partisan hand-wringing, pure and simple.
Why don't you look for a software role that would put your ME training and experience to some use ? There are tons of web developers but we live in a physical world and there's certainly a need for better software in virtually all fields. I think even 3D modelling experience should open a lot of doors for you, it just probably won't be web dev roles.
It was very regional. Housing prices fell in the broad area, but stayed mostly stable in San Francisco and kept rising in Palo Alto and Mountain View.
It's so tiring that people are unwilling or unable to handle nuance and complexity. An organization can both be bloated and inefficient as well as bold and daring and on the cutting edge of science.

I'll take a bloated NASA that sends probes to Pluto and funds new exciting programs such as Commercial Crew over no space program any day.

If you'd like to provide a specific plan for effective reform, I'd be interested in that as well.

Because I am the mainstream culture, they are the ones who are accustomed to being invisible. I am anything but invisible - 6'4" 230lbs white male - everybody sees me come into the room.

And yes folks from other countries recently arrived are correctly described as having 'a different culture'. Else the word 'culture' loses all meaning.

I'm sympathetic to efforts to diminish 'them' vs 'us. But the topic here is exactly that, and its appropriate to call it out.

I'm happy that you are able to open Jira editors. Today I wasted half an hour to discover I can only open "My Work" (the timesheet summary page) if I'm on an issue page, not from the blank main page.
This is the correct answer.

My patient base includes a fairly large homeless cohort. They maintain email addresses; some of them maintain phones. But a physical mailing address is basically unattainable.
When you have something from the government like an ID card. They can't just turn it off. You have due process rights and right to appeal them turning off your ID card, etc. With private companies you don't have that. That's the danger of privatization of everything, due process rights go out the window.

Downvotable Material: There's a certain billionaire who wants to privatize the right to travel through a certain "passport" he's advocating. Will they just be able to turn you off and there will only be non-existent or unresponsive customer service that will just tell you that there are "reasons" why you're not in the system any more and they are a private company and can do whatever they want and buying their product is optional, when it really isn't. Hopefully, if this ever comes to pass, there will be extensive regulatory legislation like the Fair Credit Reporting Act to keep this sort of thing subject to due process and transparency. The global nature of this "passport" means that when in foreign countries with weak judicial systems they might still be able to arbitrarily terminate your account.
This mechanism was observed with, I believe, viruses like Marburg or Ebola, that tend(ed) to kill within hours or (few) days.

Covid-19 really does a pretty good job in this regard already: being infectious before symptoms begin, and taking weeks to either kill or resolve.

Very little would be gained, relatively, from the sort of changes Ebola & Marburg went through.

We also need to consider how people react to being infected with Covid-19: With the disease being universally known, what are the chances of a typical patient infecting additional people if you add another week at the back end of their infection? Chances are, they are in isolation from the second week on. Any contacts they keep having (with family, housemates, or medical personnel, say) will either be infected by week 3, or proven to be rather skilful at avoiding infection.

A supercomputer cluster wouldn’t care. A cluster of supercomputer clusters might.

Know those moments in movies where they put “all the computers in the world” onto the task of cracking some encryption before it’s too late? This could be used for the technical part of that (once you’ve got all the HPC labs’ cooperation.)
The fallout between Kojima & Konami is definitely an interesting story.

In the end, it would have been in Konami's best interest to retain him and let him do what he wanted, rather than pump him for more money via MGS. The man gets eyeballs (and dollars) on whatever he makes, you think Konami would recognize that.
Yes, but seriously Steve, this is getting out of hand and is harming Rust, not helping it. If the price of general Rust adoption is the destruction of HN then I would rather pass. Get some discipline in there or I'll start flagging each and every submission that has Rust in the title as a counterweight or petition that having 'Rust' in the title penalizes a submission. HN is a commons, not a private mailing list for Rust fans.
Because it ticks all the boxes of performance and safety. The community, documentation and tooling are also great.
Yeah, the cases where I've personally seen it work were when the company had product market fit but was money constrained for how much it could grow.
I've been in a similar boat - wanted to share what I found worked for me, perhaps it helps.

I constantly found myself in the following loop:

1) Motivated to study, study productively

2) Several days / weeks later productivity stops (for any number of reasons)

3) Quickly forget everything I learnt over the next month or so

4) Back at stage 1, feeling I have 'wasted' the last few months.

My big problem was the _forgetting_. Life is always going to get in the way, and I needed to 'drop anchor' when this happened, so I could resume where I left off, not start over.

I use Anki [1] to do this. I learn things, make flashcards, and spend dead time on public transport keeping up with them. As Anki uses spaced repetition, you can input a LOT of cards without this becoming overwhelming.

This gave me a sense of progress even when I did not study for a month, and massivly increased my motivation.

> Why can't they just take loans like most Western countries do to balance their budget?

Who, exactly, is going to loan them money?

If Iran were a person they'd have a sub-600 credit score while seeking a no-documentation car loan. Nobody in their right mind is going to loan them money for non-predatory rates.

When we talk about a country taking out loans, we're frequently talking about bonds and, if you're not the US, actually talking to banks via the IMF.

Are you going to buy Iranian bonds? Consider the following:

- Which asset(s) do you think Iran will use to pay you back? Keep in mind that their largest asset - oil - has a rocky track record.

- Loans are more likely to be paid back by a stable government. How stable do you expect Iran to be over the next 10-30 years? How likely is another Arab Spring?

- Taking the above into account, what kind of interest rate would be adequate? Is it higher than the Iranians are likely to pay? How much higher is it than they can afford right now?
