> With 39.26 deaths per 100,000, Sweden's mortality rate is not only higher than that of the U.S. (29.87 deaths per 100,000) but also exponentially higher than those of its neighbors Norway (4.42 per 100,000) and Finland (5.56 per 100,000)

Small thing, but the usage of 'exponentially' in this context, comparing several discrete datums, really does bug me. If humanity's greatest weakness really is our failure to understand the exponential function, then we don't help ourselves by using the term as a clumsy proxy for 'substantially bigger'.
DRM-using publishers tend to pay authors less than non-DRM ones do, and certainly less than you can donate to them (I assume the full price of the book). So if your intention is to support authors, pirating and finding a way to pay the author in a different way is more efficient.

Nobody does that, of course.

This is a great example of the downside of over-relying on metaphors and analogies to teach mathematical concepts. The reality is that fractions are not like groups of pencils or tables of girls and boys. They are rigorously defined mathematical constructs that occasionally can be mapped to real-world things (and usually with severe constraints). 1/3 + 1/3 isn't 2/6 because it doesn't follow from the underlying axioms that define rational numbers - and not because of anything else.

Aws is definitely not for hobbyists, or small applications, its a replacement to a datacenter with a lot of variables, not a VM. Your better comparison would be DigitalOcean vs Lightsail (AWS). So yes.
They should be more trustworthy than this, for sure. But sometimes a poor or harmful decision is still an operational mistake that comes down to poor information or comprehension. If it were to become more apparent to me that this was a deliberate lapse in ethics, I’m sure I’d be more where you’re at.

On the left, there hasn’t even been the commitment to even stage a single 1-day general strike.

"I literally have zero memory of how we used to build forms in the pre-React times"

Don't mean to pick on the author, but these sorts of comments scare the shit out of me. React is fine for what it was originally billed as (a library for building UI components), but the way people use it to take over the entire web stack is bananas. Definitely not needed for a static blog, LOL.

P.S. Use LitElement anyway, not React. The future is Web Components.
Sorry, I just realized that question was poorly stated. It misses an important point: there has to be a decently sized catalog. It doesn't need to rival Libgen, but it should be something that covers most of your bases. Sorry for kinda moving the goalposts here, but right now, most of the time, looking for a particular book you can't get your hands on it DRM free without going to Libgen. That's the thing which has to change.

Disclaimer: I'm VP of Engineering for software consultancy focused on IoT. We work with startups, midcap and several fortune 500s.

I agree vendor lock in must be avoided. I also disagree that Open Source is the best approach in all situations. Mosquito and Raspberry Pi are fine for smaller projects, but if you're going to push 100M or a billion messages, you're better off leveraging a IaaS solution like AWS IoT Core. At least, until you have a dedicated 24/7 opps team that can triage and support the solution.

The trick is to create the right abstractions and architectures to migrate your solutions off of AWS and onto another solution: Azure, your own, etc.
Another aspect is that your blog should make you want to blog.

The tech stack therefore mirrors your interests.

It feels great to use tools built by _yourself_ for _yourself_. Doubly so if the stack is janky (rust / org-mode for me).

The feeling that you've made something makes you want to invest more into it. To make sure the tools were worth making in the first place.

Lots of negativity here, but I think if your goal is to be able to sprinkle in bits of interactivity (or demos) among mostly static content, this is a great choice. Yes, it has more dependencies than some other solutions - but the goal isn’t to be zero-dependency - it’s to remove as much friction from your publishing process as possible while still providing the required capability.

That's an interesting case study! In that particular case, how much is the maximum latency you think it can afford? And do you think the latency must be equally low for every viewers, or is there a vocal minority of viewers who interact with the streamer while others watch passively? If it's the later, maybe there would be a way to keep a reasonable (same as your twitch example) latency for those viewers.

Suggestions for final year project in Android
Hi Guys, Could you please suggest some ideas for my final year college project?
I have decided to work on android development.
I am open to the idea having software parts alone as well as software+hardware(IOT).
Please contribute.
I completely agree!

I started using Vue from a script tag a year ago (not that hard). But when I started building an SPA, things got complicated very quickly.

I found myself longing for a really good tutorial similar to Django's [0], rather than the thousand variations of "Today We'll Build a To-Do App in Vue!" that are so common.

For the projects that I work on, I use the same pip/virtualenv setup that I've used for years. Can't imagine that happening with Webpack (Side note: it might be that I could use the same Webpack setup for years, but the unstable reputation around the JS ecosystem makes me think I couldn't).

I think that "decency"/"profit" forces are not directly a part of Marketing but rather business. It is not marketing's mission to maximize profits, it's business's.
I'd say if your high-level management is not evil, then marketing is also not evil. This assumes competency, btw. If people involved are not competent, yeah, then easily shift towards the evil end without the profit maximization.
But since almost all of the capitalist system is profit-driven, yeah, almost all of the companies easily discard "decency" for higher "profit".

"Many people I talk with don't believe that IPv6 is the future and I commonly hear that they have forcibly disabled it on their computers due to this or that random problem."

It is their choice to make not anyone else's. They could be right. It might not be the future. I am one of those non-believers. I would love an improved protocol but I do not see IPv6 as the right fit. I think it is no coincidence that the providers are having problems with offering it to customers. Networking is complex and error-prone enough without IPv6. It is less so with IPv6? We know what the IPv6 zealots will say. Beware of "analyses" that focus solely on benefits without considering costs.
>I would add "AI" produces results that are hard to understand and work with.

Sorry but no, this rhetoric is often used as an easy escape of responsibility but I don't buy it. Sure, if you're talking about the neural nets used in Google translate or YouTube recommendation system, or any big tech company domain of problem that is based on vast amount of data with extreme size of state space and variability - fine.

But we are not talking about interpretability of the result but the reliability of it, and in robotics domain you rarely have to tackle that size of state space, but rather a highly noisy one.

Let's take your example of low level control of bipedal robot. At whatever stage of control/manipulation you're talking about, you always have to consider that the input will have some noise, and how to handle it. This is the reliability; you know how to(or how much) of the input noise you can handle, and how much you will leave (or amplify) to the rest of the system. Based on this you also know the limit of the system, so you can also get an indication of failure. You can make AI/Neural Network to consider the noise and also give an indication of failure, but you have to think about that from the data gathering step! Most control algorithms have this: "what input noise can I handle" question answered; The same requirement should be set to the data.

I assume you thought about Reinforcement Learning of sorts when you thought about control, but what most people don't realize is that those algorithms works only because you can use high precision sensor that reduce these noise level (combined with sensor fusion) to negligible level. But now you're relying on high precision, extremely expensive sensors. They almost always fail when you get out of the lab and have to suddenly consider cost. (and at this stage traditional control algorithm creeps back)

Let's take a real example. On my original comment I wrote "work in lab at 1pm" and I weren't sarcastic. Apparently not only did the AI solution (in Computer Vision) I were given only work in the lab, but at the exact lightning condition under high noon at the lab, with all the ceiling lights on all the time. We are now not talking about interpretability of the AI, but the reliability; This is easy to identify beforehand. You can also mitigate this (the lightning noise) by including it in the model (data). This should have been glaringly obvious if the person actually knew his toolset rather than just retraining a existing model using tensorflow magic.

> I recently asked a front-end dev why they chose React for a simple app over simple server-side templating

I don't really get this argument. What makes "simple server-side templating" better than React components? I'd argue that these React components effectively are templates. If someone is proficient in React, why are we suggesting they have to learn some other random templating language? Not to mention deal with additional things like file organization, transpiling, etc.
AWS (or GCP or Azure or ...) value proposition depends on you.

For a small/startup, the ability to execute quickly without sinking capital into a product that will likely pivot anyway is a superpower.

When you get bigger, stuff gets dicey. Paying a premium for a "X as a Service" made sense when you had no people, but at some point the cost structure may not make sense or your needs are at odds with how the service delivery works.

When you work for a big company or government agency, things change again -- you don't hire a database guy for a project, you have a project team that builds stuff, and an ops team that exerts the minimum viable effort to keep your stuff running or an outsourced ops team that does the same, but worse. At that point, you start looking at how much it costs to pay AWS to provide and SLA vs hiring more competent (ie. more $$$) ops people to keep it running.

The long and short of it is that AWS is in a position to rake in cash up and down the spectrum -- all they need to do is be competent, which they are very good at.
If you built a tenanting library that used partioning rather than schemas, you'd probably end up with something that looked pretty close to what you're describing.

With schemas, it's definitely possible to use the same generator for ids across schemas (at least, I'm 90% sure it is in Postgres), but you'll probably end up fighting against ORM libraries to get it to work properly (Rails for instance makes a LOT of assumptions about how the id column works), and you aren't technically guaranteed uniqueness since you'll still have distinct PK columns.

'My difficulties with comprehension' constitute one metric. Orthogonality, in any way that I understand it, is a property of multiple such metrics.
If you care about metadata encryption or being selected for targeted attacks this is horrible. The nsa and other actors that inspect email traffic for non-legal reasons love PGP [1]. You can't encrypt metadata with it, it doesn't matter what you do, the MTA's and other mail servers add header fields tha not only uniquely identify sender and recipient but details about the conversation and attachments.

Email was insecure, but ovet decades features were piled onto it. Then people started trying to secure it. Now it's a dangerous protocol, that leaves users with a false sense of security. There is no way to properly secure email, you can improve email security but you should never use it in place of something modern.

I am routinely shocked about how modern tech companies treat email. One finance related tech company was shocked when I refused to send PII to authenticate myself in order to make account changes over unencrypted email. At least this chat thing uses PGP.

I am at a point where I am thinking of conspiracy theories about all the chat protocols these days. Either they have a small but critical flaw in the confidentiality property or they have non-obvious metadata collection that can be used to identify targets for additional targeted attacks against their device. I still haven't found a chat app/protocol I can trust.

This is a great list. I'd add a few things:

IoT Greengrass - Edge computing that can run Lambda functions and ML models on prem.

IoT Core - Managed MQTT broker, state management and rules engine for devices with intermittent connectivity

I'm not sure I'd call SiteWise a "automation platform" I think it's more of a data collection and visualization platform?
I bought an ebook from Amazon a few days ago. It asked me "which device do I want it delivered to", and I picked the "download please" (or something worded like that. I downloaded the epub. I could read it on Calibre, on the ReadEra app on my (Amazon-crapware-stripped) Amazon Fire HD, I emailed me to my partner's, "kindle email".

It displayed everywhere nicely. I never purchased books from other locations so I got no opinion on FNAC and the likes, but I never had an issue on Amazon books.
I recall ServiceNow use a single tenant model, not multitenant like most other SaaS apps. I suspect (but am no authority on the subject) this means a dedicated database per customer.

The main issue with that is the larger implications - believed electromagnetic spectrum limitations asidd why the hell bother acting like a gaslighting scooby doo villains if when there are so many other greater applications starting with mesh network radios that don't take power, just "we are the only ones allowed electronic targetting" let alone any hypothetical masteries to allow for optical rectennas without the limitations which keep them from obsoleting solar panels.

Unlike 95% of the other answers here, this may have been received And been processed by children who are just learning fractions.

I think the most basic answer to the “what do you do next” is unfortunately to explain they can’t do 1/3+1/3=1/6 but that why will be a future lesson.

The article gets a “fair” stopping point for the day at being mindful of the whole. And that you just can’t always add them.
This article resonates with me so much. I recently purchased an e-Book on Wiley too. Atleast, the author got an EPUB with DRM in it, which is pretty easy to remove using de-DRM tools (open source). However, what I got from my purchase from Wiley was some stupid proprietary format that requires me to install some crapware called Vitalsource. There is nothing out there that will de-DRM for you and you are forced to install this crapware wherever you intend to read this - be it on your mobile or desktop. I thought ok, no biggie, let me seek a refund ASAP, but Wiley explicitly disallows refunds, probably this is the reason.

In their entire website, they refer to these things as "E-Books", but it is anything but. It's a proprietary viewer. There is a small "i" icon next to them in the listings, which I presume they must have added recently that now states these things aren't actually E-Books (in fine print). Clever huh?

Either way, I don't understand the point of DRM. People can still make copies if they're determined to, and studies have shown that giving away ebooks actually increases sales. If these sort of publishers go bankrupt, no one will shed a tear. Because, you know, don't fuck your customer maybe?
Then they, and you, can find another instance where you can mutually talk with each other. You are, in fact, allowed to have multiple fediverse accounts for different purposes/groups of people.

This doesn't address my point at all that you cannot argue that my server is somehow obligated to process bytes from your server.
Proportions are tricky to introduce since they are the first obvious move away from absolute quantities. We're taught that division is just fancy subtraction, but it's actually the more subtle idea of proportionality. Similar with multiplication as dimensionality.

From here, it feels like the natural setup to show that you can't just 'combine' proportionalities without accounting for what portion these proportions contribute to the new whole.
Getting away from one's home life has to have value for a lot of kids, either escaping a bad situation or getting free of an overbearing parent. I think the nytimes had an earlier article about the inequalities that are suddenly on display when students are on camera in their homes.

Tractors use a lot of horsepower constantly. Cars are burst. Put the pedal to the floor on a Tesla and you are up to the speed limit in seconds at which time you back off. Take your Tesla to an infinite straight track and put the pedal to the floor and the battery will be dead in a few minutes. (though probably something else will break first)
It's a bit more complicated than "debunked/retracted", as that second document explains:

> Dehnadi, to his credit, stuck to his guns and did the meta-analysis that showed that he’d discovered a phenomenon and that his test was a worthwhile predictor.

The original paper contained several linked claims: that there is an ability to make consistent mental models, that it's intrinsic and fixed, that it predicts ability to program, and that few people have it, and hence few people can learn to program. AIUI, the debunked/retracted claims are that it's intrinsic and fixed, and that few people have it. It looks like the ability exists, but it can be learned, and it is linked to programming ability.

Which i think does line up with wcarey's point:

> The more I've taught math, the more convinced I am that getting people to "think about what they mean", and to think about what mathematical words mean is 90% of the project. [...] The answers they wrote didn't matter; what mattered was whether their answers evinced consistent meaning applied to terms and operations.
>You can block the spammer yourself.

This is nonsense. Do you really think everyone should have to deal with spam themselves? Do you disable spam filters on your email and deal with all of that on your own? Do you think, on a site like HN, we should have to filter spam ourselves too?

The internet would be completely unusable if it was expected that everyone deal with spam themselves. This is ludicrous.
Well, that would make sense when describing the relationship between two functions, but not between two datapoints, right? Since exponentially pertains to growth, not magnitude.
I would try to explain semantics of addition (without the word “semantics” of course). I would say, in the first group 1/3 is the girl so if we take out one boy and replace it with another 1/3 (another girl), the resulting proportion is 2/3. Once we mix both groups, that is not what “plus” is.
