That's a proof their system was a lie. Che Guevara gave an speech about how Cuba would thrive without global trading, without private property. Well, the results speak for themselves. No communist regime could survive with its own production. It seems i triggered some communism fans.

As the crow flies, it takes light 66ms to get from one point on earth to a point on the opposite side.

Pretty sure the limiting factor is not the speed of light. It's the fact that (currently) these packets on not traveling in a straight line, and there is a lot of switching happening between A and B.

There is plenty of room for improvement in this area.

I don't think this looks suspicious in any way.

The whole lot of IOT services are pretty confusing. Mostly because I have no experience with IOT/MQTT in general and it took a few days to actually figure out how to create and connect things (emulated). I actually bought some IOT devices (lamps, sensors) to try it out, but this turned out to be vendor-locked without any possibilities for MQTT. I reckon somebody with more experience in the IOT field could provide more insight in these things.
Given that the PM and most of the cabinet seem to have a similar attitude to the truth, the only way this can be significant is if enough Tory MPs have enough spine to back a no confidence motion.
More is evidently better. Which new iPhone or XLaptop gives you less? Or focuses?

"Less is more" is just talk of company that want to not grow into monopolies and I support that view. But users do not.

Outside of software each global conglomerate is the exact opposite of "less is more".
Reminded me of these similar threads I read a while earlier:

Naming Scheme for the Network Interface on RHEL 7
This question reminds me of some legacy system which I've seen in the past :D :D :D

In summary it was working in the following way:

There was table client(id, name).

And then dozens of other tables. Don't remember exactly the structure, so I will just use some sample names:
- order_X
- order_item_X
- customer_X
- newsletter_X

"X" being ID from the client table mentioned earlier.

Now imagine dozens of "template" tables become hundreds, once you start adding new clients.
And then in the code, that beautiful logic to fetch data for given client :D

And to make things worse, sets of tables didn't have same DB schema. So imagine those conditions building selects depending on the client ID :D
Master Data Management Industry to grow $22.0B by 2023

Close, greengrass is about pushing real aws lambas down to intermediate site gateways (with certs and crypto and management), and then you can have very lightweight clients with almost no brain talk to that thing. My blurb would read, "vendor locked lambdas at the edge to proxy IoT widgets".
I don't think I was selectively quoting you. You specifically brought up the part about offensive content and the examples they provide, and you yourself agreed he hit a few of those.

> That's not what they said. That's not what any of them say. Instead, they very clearly state that they will determine what is and what is not allowed by their standards.

This is in confliect with your quoted offensive content.

Sure, they will determine what constitutes the examples of offensive content, but at least in this case you yourself agreed with it, yet you claim you don't?

Again, make the argument when they do something wrong, not when they do something objectively in line with their terms and societal norms.

I might agree with you in principle, but I don't agree with the case put forth.
You can't force user's eyeballs to read the bytes you ship to their computers unless you want to go full Clockwork Orange.

Some people want to exercise the rights over their computers (pick any ideology, FOSS included) and don't want certain bytes shipped to their computers. Who cares the reason.

Some people don't have the time, energy, money, and technical experience to exercise their rights of byte-shipping in a competent manner, so they carefully delegate that power to someone they trust. And some want to join in a community that is purposefully run this way. To categorically paint this use case as "insidious" ("silently", "arbitrarily") is in denial of these peoples' real needs.

Forcing peers to accept your bytes with the assumption that they must examine it with their own eyeballs in order to overcome a zealous interpretation of "censorship" is blatantly disregarding the humanity in a peer and their real needs.

Of course there will be. The internet has done wonders for helping people with terrible opinions congregate.

But that doesn't imply one needs to let the Stormfronters hang out in one's digital lobby instead of directing them back to their own donuts in Stormfront.
Absolutely. Some countries have laws against it, they could file in normal court (not UDRP). US the limit is $100,000 per domain under ACPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticybersquatting_Consumer_Pr...)

Also if you lose one case, you are likely to have that used against you in the future (pattern of behavior). So any subsequent defense may be weaker in a system that already strongly favors TM holders.
This is quite a galling discussion :) I get ~2.5mbs. I live in a village about 30 miles from the second biggest city in the uk.

I've really noticed how ordinary websites have become sluggish over the past few years. To their credit, Netflix is ok as long as nobody else in the house is doing anything online.

Stanley Ho, flamboyant 'godfather' of Macau casinos, dies aged 98
There are probably tasks you can perform quicker when you're accustomed to syntax coloring, since the brain tends to capitalize on association with easily detected features. Finding the start of a function could be such as task, but the gain would be low (a few 100s of milliseconds, I'd guess).

At the same time, it might slow down other tasks, which can be harder to identify. I was just changing some html template, and I made a dumb "extra quote"" error because of highlighting. It probably took me more than a minute, which would offset a great number of small speedups.

I guess the conclusive proof won't be easy to find.
Given his involvement in government, it's entirely possible that he himself was involved in writing the rules.
It is not the dictatorship, it's the economic system they're into. But people still believes communism makes countries thrive into wealth and freedom. They never give any example of successful communist country.
x87 and MMX are both so incredibly old that I think it's pretty unlikely that you will be linking code that combines these, unless you have a 'dusty' library that nobody has the source code for anymore.
It's still only incidental though.

I think another poster said it best, this is about him suggesting he did something he didn't to try and look clever. It's pretty interesting in itself, because Dominic Cummings stands on his body of work as a self styled paragon of scientific governance.

Him being an arse is probably somewhat apart from that.

Pretty sure he referenced various forms of 'scientific advice' a couple of times in that interview too. We could start leading this discussion towards the subject of him attending impartial scientific advisory meetings (the SAGE scandal).

Or we could have a lengthy discussion about his eyesight...

I think it's worth drawing a line around stuff like that.

If we want to have a wide open political discussion about a key government adviser, we should probably base it on a more relevant story. But it probably would flounce HN rules.

Also "RTFA"?

I don't think many people are still in the "same as flu" camp, which is a bit of a straw man. For example this CDC guidance is estimating 5-8x worse fatality rate than the average flu (0.05% IFR).

You can have a realistic opinion of the disease and reasonably object to lockdowns. I'm not sure if your issue is with opinions against the lockdown, this author, or some other random group not mentioned here. I do think overall everything about the disease has come in on the low side of expert estimates back from March (this article suggests otherwise). Which is both a testimate to science and damning of our society's tools for handling a disease in this range of severity.
I figured somebody has done this before. I purposely did not look for it to keep my findings unbiased. It was fun clicking on random services and tweak with it until figuring out what it was for and how to use it (and actually see some results)
And you're still in denial. I hope you get through it.

While this is generally true, it doesn’t apply to a famous and unique mark which would definitely be covered by trademark dilution in this case.

In China:

- There is no single Play Store equivalent, so the barrier to make people install a relatively unknown app is higher.

- Phones do not come with Google Services Framework, so the barrier to develop a networked app is higher.

- Just like everywhere else, people will use whatever is available because a suboptimal solution is still better than opting out completely from the benefits these solutions bring.

I don't think in China specifically it's about low-end devices or data cost at all. South East Asia - perhaps, but all in all the situation reflects the structure of the economies (the prevalence of monopolistic conglomerates with a finger in every pie).

Most of the time the most widespread solution is far from excellent because it only has to be better than the competition. Even more so when competition is limited by entry barriers to the point it hardly exists. So while the article is a good summary of the situation, it ends up being a bit like wondering why people use Windows.

Android is already one abstraction layer on top of another, there is no intrinsic technological benefit of adding yet another one OS-like super app on top of it, or at the very least any such benefits remain to be demonstrated.

I think speed limits have informally (and unevenly) been rising to match the capabilities of new cars and roads. I visited a new area recently, and was shocked to see that traffic was flowing at 90 mph (!) in a 70 mph zone.

I was glad I wasn't driving, because not only is that a greater posted-vs-actual speed difference than I've seen before, but I've never actually driven that fast in my life. I'd have been torn between driving 80 in the right lane and being constantly passed at 10-15mph, or being white-knuckled behind some other vehicle and setting a personal landspeed record.
if you've got an IT ecosystem with enough monoliths / macroservices calling each other, being able to trace across service boundaries is still pretty useful
Most HN threads are not that big, I think it'd do just fine with (reverse?) chronological ordering.
Wikipedia and YouTube are as large as they are, in terms of user base, for their utility. Part of that utility does and continues to include some thin editorial voice. They're under no obligation to be all things to all people.

People have set up alternative data sources to Wikipedia. Conservapedia has existed for years. Its relatively smaller size says more about its relative utility then about anything ill Wikipedia has done.
I had no idea account migration landed. Your description actually sounds quite reasonable. I guess I was too shocked and burnt by the instance blocking incident. Maybe I should give Mastodon another try.

You could just build better trains, it's going to take state or fed level money to do that anyway. If the trains were better, people would use them. In practice, todays 70 mph is not much different from 45 mph. You can't drive 70 mph nonstop, medium speed is lower.
Using schemas gives you imperfect but still improved isolation. It's still possible for a database connection to cross into another tenant, but if your schema search path only includes the tenant in question, it significantly reduces the chance that cross-customer data is accidentally shared.
Sorry, could you explain this comment? Why would you be glad?

Maybe you consider Kubernetes an old technology by now? Maybe you consider React.js an old technology by now? What about docker? How about ES6?

People at slower tech firms are still building working B2B web services with ES5 jQuery and ASP.NET. The engineers there have been working with jQuery since it's inception. They know it inside and out and have the skill and depth of knowledge to work around the drawbacks and design flaws.

This is from my experience working at smaller tech firms. I've moved to the city now and I can see the difference in tech and I can feel the difference in attitude too. I'm not going to link you a study or any data because no one is out there studying this stuff. This is opinion not science.

>1). There are many jobs that have to be done in person 2). Many people prefer to live in large cities and accept the downsides in order to get the benefits

Both of these statements are true but I don't see how they are relevant? I'm not denying either of these facts but it doesn't stop the small town engineers from existing.
I used to work for a company that developed a JS widget people could stick on their site with ease (and not just little sites either, this was on microsoft.com, nfl.com, starbucks.com...)

As such I got to deal with getting our code to play nicely with the dozens of other scripts that inevitably existed on these sites as well. Being a third-party on a site with not just first-party code but also other random third-party code was truly a hostile environment.

Nobody was doing anything correctly like loading scripts in a way so that they'd never interfere. Some script would load the version of jQuery it wanted, which would shadow the version some other script wanted to use, and stuff would break (but only sometimes, because it depends on timing).

This was before anyone was using webpack. Bundlers thankfully solved this issue (unless you really go out of your way). I'm sorry to say what you consider the good old days were in fact quite bad. If you're making a personal website for yourself? Sure, all this seems like overkill. As soon as you introduce anything third-party? You need lots of tricks to be bulletproof. So from my perspective, things are much improved.
Exactly this. The unreasonable expectations of what AI can do - whilst it can speed things up significantly, majority of cases, you can never fully automate everything with AI.
This is a reported issue since last year, but is now apparently going viral [1]. 五毛 translates as "50 cent party", the somewhat well-known CCP astroturfing division.

According to the comments in the link below, another apparently banned phrase is "gongfei" ( 共匪 ) , which supposedly translates as "communist bandit".

>The fact that people need this at all is UX problem.

Is it a UX problem or is it intentional deep branding to further promote vendor lock-in? This is one reason I've been opposed to AWS since the early phases--I don't want to learn all of their stupid branded vendor-specific nomenclature.

Consider that your typical enterprise software project will use quite a lot of these, and that you pay for them all separately, and sometimes pay twice for them (e.g. S3 you pay for storage and for outbound bandwidth).

It's quite a tour de force how Amazon have taken "separation of concerns", applied it to web services and used it to create complex and difficult to understand or predict pricing to print money. Bravo.
I don't see your point here. For the purposes of our conversation, 5gbps and 10gbps are just the same; they're far in excess of 25mbps. Dishonest ISPs are another topic entirely.

If a doctor were to prescribe that a patient needs chemotherapy, you wouldn't expect the doctor to get chemotherapy along with the patient, right? Would you even trust a doctor that was undergoing intense chemotherapy with all the mental side effects along with it?

Dominic Cummings is a senior political advisor to Boris Johnson himself. His thinking helps shape the country, and therefore he needs to constantly in top mental form, especially during this crisis.

So, if he feels the need to travel the country as he did, everyone should support him, or face the consequences of having a mentally distracted political advisor trying to help run the country
The entire blog is so good & almost unbelievably long and thorough - it feels like the kind of sites the web was made for.

I tried this about 2 years ago on an Android and it worked just fine, the problem was I could only use a single email account at a time.

This meant that I could not use work accounts to chat with wlperdonal folks and vice versa via the official work email.

since I don't want to pollute my personal emails with work stuff, that somewhat limited what I could do.

once they fix that, I would be glad to use this quite a bit more.

Edit : looks like they added multiple account Support after all... I will definitely be trying it again today.

When I read these things I always have to think of Voat, the reddit clone that was 'open to assholes'. A lot of reddit users who could not follow the rules actually jumped ship, but what they found was that Voat was not really what they were looking for. They (ironically) did not find their safespace there because the other side of the coin was that other users could also criticize their views (extremism is exponential). That was not what they were looking for.

The other reason it didn't really work out well is that people need an audience. Voat was and is much smaller than reddit, so they had less reach. What I'm trying to say is, is that it's not a technical challenge, those have been solved already. It's people with extreme views who want to be able to express themselves where those views are not tolerated.

I'll join the protests once they actually start censoring, but if it's just like hey: don't be an asshole or you can just be an asshole somewhere else... I'm fine with it.

> Player 1 should only bluff at the optimal rate if player 2 punishes them for deviating from this rate by changing the frequency that they call when holding the king. Otherwise, Player 1 gains more on average by bluffing with the queen more frequently. So, how should Player 2 figure out if Player 1 is actually bluffing at the optimal rate (and not higher)?

You're describing exploitative strategies - that's the kind of circular thinking of "if he knows that I know what he knows...". In a Nash equilibrium neither side has an incentive to change their strategy even if they know what their opponent is doing. If you're betting at the optimal frequency, there is nothing that your opponent can do to counterexploit your strategy. If you're deviating from the optimal frequency, your opponent can adjust, you can adjust in return and so on.
Thanks for the advice, Steven. Sure, I'll follow you on Twitter.
