> Everything becomes surveillance at some point.

I offer that the challenge isn't surveillance but disproportional surveillance. That is, the harms that follow modern data collection occur because that data is locked away from you and me. Presently, power from data is reserved for those already in power. This allows them to leverage our data against all of us, w/o meaningful consequences.

If we want responsible data use, I believe the surest way to achieve that is thru equal access by default. In that scenario, those in power are far more motivated to desire safeguards for everyone - instead of the perverse incentives that we all enjoy today.
I was skeptical. But it's official now.
more like economic insecurity combined with moral decrepitude.
reduce everything to economic insecurity and you're not left with much
An assembly line worker just puts parts together - they don't understand why those particular parts have to go together in that particular way to achieve the desired result. Engineer is the person who does.

And engineers have always been assembling boxes together. At first those were the most basic components, like levers. Then we figured out about standardized parts and interfaces, and components got a lot less basic. But, fundamentally, what's the difference between an engineer fitting two cogs together, and an engineer fitting two pieces of electronics?
What if your port knocking monitor has a zero day?
Happy to see manufacturing coming back to the US. I'm writing this before I read the comments and have my hopes dashed
great website, simple to use and transparent pricing.
Thank you for introducing me to that site..
At a fundamental level, most american's don't think their government has their best interests in mind. They also think tribal membership affects your success and wellbeing. Conversly,US politicians have been reduced to entertainers and propagandists.

This will not end good, even without russia,china and everyone else that would love to see america burn, things look very dire. Fasicism ,civil wars, foreign occupation are things I expect as real possibilities within the next 5-10 years. The fragility of peace and liberty has been underestimated.

There is no way to stop this without blaming the people. It's not corporations,oligarchs, foreign countries,politicians,the media,the lef,the right,the center,the non-voters,etc... It's the people as a whole that are incorrect. It's "us" who is the problem not "them".

Make no mistake, it will not be as great and luxurious as the collapse of venezuela,the harsh rule of DPRK,or the cruel civil war of Syria. I hope I am so wrong. It's like cancer with it's different stages and spread,at a certain stage it's too late, your own body is against itself.
Except that Elon is moving deeper and deeper into China...
My limited understanding is that battery degradation is not linear. It's gradual for a long time and then falls off rapidly.
Do you use Bitwarden on iOS/iPadOS? How do you get it to auto fill anything? It's quite cumbersome changing Windows back and forth just to copy-paste some fields.
There's a Stephenson who likes action and guns and swords and cars and stuff, and a Stephenson who aspires to be Stanislaw Lem but in English. Snow Crash was as close to parity as I've ever seen them. The latter has been increasingly in the ascendant since then.
The smiley face isn’t racially sensitive enough.
The more access the average joe has to the market the more seemingly plausible the idea that it's "impossible" to beat the market. No, it's just really hard. Just because most sculptures are statistically made with playdough doesn't mean it's impossible to create a great sculpture.
If that works with your model of the world that's great. Wouldn't kick it out of bed for farting.

For me, the easiest way to handle async and effects in Redux is to write custom middleware for each context/entity. That's what it's for. It makes it possible to have a real message based architecture without hacks and (extra) libraries.
I am a little skeptical, but also more convinced by the lack of Trump-hype behind the announcement. If it did accompany it, it would have all the hallmarks of a Foxconn-style announcement that leads to nothing.
Grok seems to have been open-sourced as Kythe, and I suspect it was significantly nerfed like other things they've released (e.g. bazel)

Additionally, it looks like Kythe was never fully stabilized, and there's been no widespread usage of it. It's shovelware.

I don't think you should blame MS for not citing an internal tool that they never properly released.
I had a Windows Server 2008R2 instance running SQL 2008 for over 10 years from 2008-2018 that I only rebooted myself a handful of times. It had ephemeral disks because that's all there was when it was launched so the hardware never changed. There was an unexpected reboot once in 10 years. In 2008 people told me I was crazy to run SQL let alone Windows in AWS. I never had a complaint.

I eventually switched to RDS to save some money.

I have another 2008R2 server running IIS that was launched at the same time and is still in service on the same hardware.
I'm very interested in this. Can you share more?
> Slightly offtopic but is there a reason why penis drawings are more common than vaginas.

Because female sexual organs are a taboo in most countries. I just happened to read this article (sorry, in German only) https://www.spiegel.de/gesundheit/sex/klitoris-und-weibliche... Like you, more than 70% of women don't even know that the thing you are referring to is called vulva, not vagina. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulva

You draw a penis, not an urethra after all.

Still there are differences from country to country. When I moved from Germany to Finland decades ago I wondered about a certain pattern of symbolic graffiti seen in many places. My girlfriend explained me that's a vagina. (With today's knowledge she meant vulva). I had never seen that symbol in Germany. But then Finland is the country where the most common swear word is cunt, even amongst 14 year old girls.
Did people think young healthy people can't get viral pneumonia?

Why does she say this is no flu? Pneumonia is a known side effect of flu.

Covid-19 has no vaccine so more people will catch it, which is of course very bad. But the disease is still flu. People just forget what the risks of flu are, thanks to herd immunity.
Did he actually say that?
I made this for my better half (she's learning Japanese too.) Point camera to object, app would read out detected object in your language of choice. https://travelshoppingbuddy.com/
It's absolutely possible to argue persuasively for high level laws without having a full reductionist mechanics. For example, Darwin's arguments for evolution by natural selection were strong even though the physical/chemical basis of heritability was totally unknown in his time. He didn't even know Mendel's laws. Fisher also developed his models of evolutionary dynamics without knowledge of the underlying mechanics of heritability, and his models still stand. In fact, I'd argue that a big part of what makes a good scientific theorist is the ability to formulate and test high-level laws without complete knowledge of lower-level mechanics.
Only a small number of people are really good at any given thing, funny how people just forget this when a specific industry is being scrutinized.

Wow. What an effective recruitment strategy.
Congrats on the launch! Both Trailhead and SEAL are very interesting ideas, and I really hope they take off (read: get copied by more investors ;)

As an early stage bootstrapping founder, I'm curious to see how Trailhead works in practice. But regardless of whether or not it works, thanks for thinking like a founder and being willing to experiment.

They do "care".

First of all, if that number is in the interval [0,1], it's a qualitatively different situation than if the number is in [2,∞].

Jokes aside, there is a statistical relationship between the number of people in a room and the distance they can/will keep from each other. More density means more close encounters on average. Less density doesn't guarantee nobody gets too close to someone else, but it makes it less likely.
Does anyone know what the “penis playing croquet” hieroglyph is supposed to be?
Well, that depends. A program that takes 100 years to complete (say factoring a large number) can be optimized to not take 100 years, and it is worth looking for algorithmic advances that would make that possible. A program that can proven to never halt (a soundness detector that checks programs for behavioral violations) can never be perfect and must rely on heuristics or be known to fail on certain input.
Having seen the way people 'queue' when waiting outside an eatery implementing social distancing guidelines - this only solves part of the problem.

Edit: Perhaps integrating it with some sort of QR Code based ticketing system for entry would alleviate the issues of people queueing (or huddling) outside the store?
I don't understand. There are self driving cars in SF. I saw one today. It is/ was raining.

There was a driver, but I'm fairly certain that the drivers are not actively driving but are legally required to be there.
1. Yes, of course. No government, religion, or society should have control over another's life or death. See below.

2. Yes. And yes mental illness like depression should qualify (See below). But mental illnesses where person is extremely disillusioned should not.

3. Yes. Appearance sure, it is their life.

4. Sure, see below.

However, I think person who is committing suicide still has responsibilities to society including not causing emotional harm to their loved ones, not leaving a mess behind for others to clean up etc. As a society, we should establish guidelines for suicide. I like Hindu practice of suicide called [Prayopavesa][1].

Prayopavesa is basically slow suicide by fasting to death. This may take days or weeks. This solves the big problem of people changing their mind after pulling the trigger or jumping off the ledge. If at any point suicidal person changes their mind, they can start eating.

Also if a person is disciplined enough to fast for days, we can trust that person has emotional maturity to make such a big decision. In other forms of assisted suicide like injecting drugs, an emotional person may sign up with a service, then they might even go through extensive paperwork. I personally end up doing things like sky diving just because I signed up to do them while drunk. I didn't want to do it later, but felt ashamed asking for refund. I imagine, emotionally unstable person may go through paperwork even when they are having second thoughts.

The best comparison anyone's made here is competitive sports. Most traders are doing the skill equivalent of shooting free throws in their yard; this doesn't mean there are not professional NBA players.
Just because you can guess at a simple reason doesn't make it true. Nobody in most of that land ever invented a sundial. Something special happened around the middle east/Europe that spawned all this civilization stuff. How do you know it was simply a matter of more land leading to more chance of civilization appearing there? It might have taken a special type of land combined with a special history of human migration or other factors.
I think they were being sarcastic, pointing out that MIT licenses make poor fish-hooks. TypeScript wasn't fish-hooked, why would this be?
Excellent, time to sell my mint copies of 1st pressing hardcovers.
Interesting. I've loved most of Stephenson's books and Cryptonomicon easily holds the title of most re-read book in my collection.

Seveneves, on the other hand, I absolutely loathed in basically every regard. My loathing for it makes it memorable enough to be my most hated book (there are plenty of books out there that are 'worse', but are also unmemorable -- Seveneves is viscerally memorable)
Then ssh would protect you. The two having zero days at the same time is unlikely.
Yep you are right. What is 𓂹 the deal with the walking stick like thing though?
The line between "language" and "library" can be very blurry - it certainly is in case of Lisp.

Suppose we take something like Python, which has a standard library module to parse ASTs, modify them, and eval them. It might look a tad more ugly than Lisp (esp. with quoting and unquoting), but I don't see why this should be considered a fundamental difference, enough so to justify its use as the sole determining factor of a "true Lisp".

And besides, what about popular languages that do have full-fledged macros? Say, Rust or D.

I've been pretty displeased with how Microsoft has chosen to alienate Customers the last few years. I've made a good since the late 90's installing and support Microsoft software in small businesses, and the changes in the last few years, particularly with Windows 10 and the associated Server versions, have been distressing.

I will say that I've never found the Open License program to be a tremendous hassle. There was good cost savings to be had using transferable licenses, and the product use rights and other terms and conditions were clearly spelled-out. Dealing with resellers was the worst part of it, but I managed to find good resellers who would mostly just do what I asked for and not hound me with sales-gerbil nonsense. The volume license management website was actually fairly nice, and was useful for keeping track of a Customer's license inventory.

I've had a hard time getting much free/open-source software adoption in my small business Customers. They almost always have a mission-critical application that keeps them locked to Windows (or SQL Server, Office, Exchange, etc), and no budget or desire to finance software development. The value proposition of spending money on the proprietary software is often just good enough to make it worth the cost and draconian licensing.
There is a them. The current President was elected on the back of his decade-long campaign against honesty and basic human decency. In his corner were horrific demagogues like Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh, lying to impressionable people, cynically stoking their anxieties and cultivating mental illness for profit.
Who doesn't love 40 pages (more?) of winding a clock as a hook? :)

Agreed, though, that it picks up a tad more after the clock winding and other front matter.
You'd replied to a comment about build systems and bazel.

Regarding Borg vs k8s, it's worth noting that k8s was never built to replace Borg or to even try to match the feature set of Borg. There are some nice things about k8s (like the ease of running an entire cluster on your local machine), but since k8s tries to be all things to all people it's not even close to being viable (or competitive with what Borg can do) for Google itself.

During the cold war both the US and the USSR were self sufficient in terms of wheat and oil. China is one naval battle in the Indian ocean away from having a taste of Imperial Japan's oil shortages in WW2. If the USSR practiced state capitalism then we might still be locked in the twilight struggle with them today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homochirality#Symmetry_breakin...

"One supposition is that the discovery of an enantiomeric imbalance in molecules in the Murchison meteorite supports an extraterrestrial origin of homochirality: there is evidence for the existence of circularly polarized light originating from Mie scattering on aligned interstellar dust particles which may trigger the formation of an enantiomeric excess within chiral material in space.[11]:123–124 Interstellar and near-stellar magnetic fields can align dust particles in this fashion."

I expected this lol. I know the anatomical difference but in general what people refers to as vagina/pussy is vulva so I went with that. Pussy is often used in derogative way which is why people go with vagina.

Thanks for sharing the article. It does seem like female reproductive organs being taboo is the main reason behind lack of their depiction.

I too am a fan of port knocking. I don’t use knockd, just iptables. I found the Arch Wiki most helpful. You’ll need to figure out which chain works for your setup but it’s pretty straightforward.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Port_knocking#Port_knoc...

Here’s my example for a VPN running on OpenWrt. If you experience any race conditions with iptables you can pepper each rule with something like “-w 5”

This opens Wireguard port 666 for 15 seconds. I have a script that creates my ipset allowing connections from the USA only.

# The correct port sequence is 1111 -> 2222 -> 3333 -> 4444; any other sequence will drop the traffic

I've seen Mongo the company making technical decisions which I find reckless (like no write confirmation by default). Since it was not once and not twice, I decided that I just want to stay away from them.

Do I want smaller scale JSON DB? Postgres fits perfectly. And it works until surprisingly large scales, unless your update load is massive.

Do I need a truly distributed HA DB with JSON support? Well, Cassandra used to be fine.
I don't have inside knowledge on AWS but I do know OpenStack (open source cloud infrastructure project) and it's had the ability to live migrate guest VMs for years so I'd be shocked if AWS can't move VMs and cycle hosts to swap failing hardware or apply firmware / ring 0 hypervisor updates.
Just be careful about 27.
One slight correction - they were upset about the proposed tariff on cotton being sent to the textile mills in New England. They were already being tariffed to hell and back on every product they produced that was shipped overseas while non-slave state producers were excluded from the same export tariffs. Gen. Lee was also at Gettysburg because he hoped to catch hold of the major railway depot in Harrisburg that was being used by the Union to supply the entire war effort east of Missouri, Milton Hershey's new chocolate factory, and of course, the shoe factory.

Against the backdrop of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, the world economy in 2020 is projected to shrink by 3.2 per cent, racking up some $8.5 trillion in overall losses – wiping out nearly four years of output gains, according to a mid-year economic analysis by the United Nations.[0]

That episode is a mighty study in contrasts!
I'm not exactly a chip manufacturing expert, but:

1. By the time this fab is in major construction a lot of the lessons learned for 5nm will be known and can more readily be implemented in the USA without splitting precious engineering resources to other countries.

2. 3nm will be the most expensive parts and sell at a premium, which will limit demand.

3. This carries some risk, so giving up the bleeding edge tech might not be the best idea.
So with poet knocking, if I only have an ssh port open and a couple of ports my servers server content on like an http and https server, I'm assuming id use port knocking to get inside my ssh port right? I don't need to do port knocking for my http and https ports because they're open but not as an ssh service?
That’s true in that they only use white meat from the chicken (which is a super set of breast meat). They also add a ton of synthetic fats and a just a dab (hopefully) of a highly toxic petroleum product that’s mostly banned outside the US:

If you've prove a finite upper bound,then you've proven the program will halt. You don't need to know what the exact number is.
I feel like this is circling around total functional programming. I found this to be an accessible paper on this:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.106...

The language it uses enforces that all recursive steps "simplify" the input, and gives a simple definition of "simplify".

Note that the language is not (nor does it try to be) Turing complete - intuitively you could imagine that there might be some level of expressiveness which is not enough to get to halting problem like levels of complexity, but enough to get "real world" complexity.

You're right. "Notify me when it's quiet" is a thing the system supports. In related news, load balancing humans is a two-sided thing.
What does port knocking look like on the client side? Does ssh have some option that makes it easy? Does everyone just write a custom bash script that wraps ssh client?

Yes. They press an apartment number which dials your phone. "Hey your pizza is here", then you press a button on your phone which opens the outer gate or the front door to the building. You then meet them at your front door.
Probably this. It does recognize penises and erases them, but labels them as "broom", "paintbrush", and likely "elephant". I guess the Google dataset made it a puritan at soul.
A fun exercise is to integrate this with TOTP by reloading knockd with a new config every 30 sec based on the secret.
