Yet somehow Ayatollah Khomeini tweets for the Nth time that Israel must be eliminated (verbatim): https://twitter.com/Khamenei_tv/status/1264541220006739968.

How do you go about "eliminating" a country and its inhabitants without killing them all?

How can Twitter apply these rules inconsistently and be taken seriously?
It's hardly fair to ask a minority to simply vote out their oppressors, they're a minority...

For political parties it's a real stretch to blame the Democrats. There's a reason the black vote is heavily Democratic, because their programs actually do help minority communities. But it's difficult to do with a majority Republican Congress for most of two decades and a majority "conservative" SCOTUS.

Now Democrats are far from perfect. But they are at least better than the alternatives.
I'm not in favor of burning and looting, but i'm not convinced it wasn't kicked off by the cops, gladio style. If we ever found that out, it won't be for decades, at which point anyone who talks about it becomes a crackpot going on about ancient history.

Once burning and looting starts, well it's like fire, or panic buying.
I completely understand the use case for Kubernetes when you're dealing with languages that require a lot of environment config, like Python.

I've never really thought it was that useful for (for example) nodejs, where you can just npm install your whole environment and deps, and off you go.
Good question, I think it is the same asked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23355547

Let me know what you think. Thanks!
I still have a snobol shirt somewhere...
Everyone has biases, including the people making decisions at Twitter.

Sure, but many things being discussed are beyond biases at this point. POTUS tweets and says completely false things every single day. This isn't downplaying things he disagrees with or spinning, it's flat out lying and/or denying they even exist.

There was a long thread here on HN about HCQ, and some were asking for proof that HCQ does not work. No, that is completely the opposite of how science, and drug research in particularly, works. Drugs are considered non-working until proven otherwise and never the other way around.

I'd prefer to see the arguments for both sides clearly laid out - "Here are the arguments for and against". Ideally anyone would be able to contribute to either side. Maybe giving each argument its own HN-style discussion.

I understand what you're saying, but I shouldn't have to prove 1+1=2 every time I want to have a discussion. Let's take vaccines for example. They have been proven safe and effective many times over. They do not cause autism. In this case, what is the other side of the argument? On my side it's tons of peer reviewed research and on the other it's a few quacks with falsified/misinterpreted/unreplicable/bad science. What is there to actually argue? This is where I normally get frustrated because there are so many topics that can be vigorously argued in good faith, but if we can't agree to some basic 'this is how the scientific method works' then what's the point.
One alternative is to have sliding scale pricing, based on ability to pay. Those that can afford to pay the inflated prices can and should pay. Those who cannot afford the high prices should still have access to the essentials that are produced. This incentivizes increased production, allows for profit (reward) and limits hoarding. Burden-sharing with respect to financing the increased production.
or mayb they can't figure out what he's saying :)

I think that's been coming since ... well ever.

I worked in networking for the longest time. When I started there network guys and server guys (at least where I was). They were different people who did different things who kinda worked together.

Then there were storage area networks and similar, networks really FOR the server and storage guys.... that kind of extended the server world over some of the network.

Then comes VMware and such things and now there was a network in a box somewhere that was entirely the server guy's deal (well except when we had to help them... always).

Then we also had load balances who in their own way were a sort of code for networks ... depending on how you looked at it (open ticket #11111 of 'please stop hard coding ip addresses').

You also had a lot of software defined networking type things and so forth brewing up in dozens of different ways.

Granted these descriptions are not exact, there were ebs and flows and some tech that sort of did this (or tired) all along. It all starts to evolve slowly into one entity.
Presumably if you're speeding or driving while intoxicated, you're doing so intentionally. It's not as if someone is forcing you to drive too fast or too drunk. These things (especially speeding) dramatically increase the likelihood of being in a collision.
Well they could...

The frontend can run in webkit as demonstrated by the various online versions of VSCode. There is a functional project to run nodejs on ios via V8 with jit disabled. That's probably a significant performance hit, but then a device like the iPad Pro really has resources to spare.
Ah so sorry about that. I should have checked.
a common misconception is that TypeScript[TS] will provide runtime safety; it won't unless you specifically add functions for it, like the type casts presented in the article.

The typecast approach presented in the article can be combined with TS to provide runtime type safety; They are not entirely opposite/alternative approaches but complementary.
I've been testing out nix and I haven't found out how to install packages in a declarative way yet. Using "nix-env -iA <whatever>` seems really imperative.
How are you doing that? Do you use something like home-manager, or do you just define a default.nix and then nix-shell it whenever you need something?
if we kill the mosquitoes we’ll be fine.
I can confirm, working with clay allows a singular focus that one cannot get another way. There is nothing to be looked up, nothing to be copy and pasted from some mailing list or forum. Some techniques are explained on videos on line, but for the most part, it is you and the medium.

Depending on where you want to spend your energy and in what capacity, you can play with the clay and get analytical with the glaze or swap them, play with both or calculate with everything, your choice. We don't normally have these choices.
"known IP addresses and such" does not work for websites authentication and such. Mobile clients are changing IP all the time as they move between WIFIs and mobile networks.

That's one of the many limitations of kerberos. It's really not intended to work outside of a company intranet.
The article goes into some detail on this, my understanding is that Vitamin D is produced in inactive form with sunlight exposure and then this is more-slowly released as needed (over winter apparently, but nobody's quite sure apparently).

There's a real risk of a segment of our populace forever marked by this fear. Phobias and obsessions will be around for a lifetime.

Not to mention, further isolation of the old. Keep away from old people! They're fragile and you could kill them with a hug!

It will be a difficult time for the next generation. And the aging previous one.

Hey! Some old folks have money. How about a permanent-quarantine old-folks community? Live in Healthy-Town, where Covid is banished! No young people ever allowed; no risk of infection! Electrified fences and sterilized goods in and out! Just pay a down payment to make your reservation now.
Isn’t the vast majority of “cyber crime” just normal white collar crime (eg fraud) done over the internet?

Do people really think it’s exciting?
In that case, depending on the framing, you might care more about the balance of animals killed by humans vs. animals caused-to-exist by humans. (Or you might think both of those things are bad. Negative utilitarians don’t much like chicken farming, given the large number of chicken lives and the large amount of suffering in each life.)
Kerberos as used in HTTP is no different, really, and you get no benefit from having a replay cache in that case (or the vast majority of Kerberos use cases).

Once we're talking HTTP, you really depend on server certificates for security. Attempts to perform "channel binding" or "token binding" in HTTP to alleviate the dependency on server certificates for security have mostly failed due to complexities having to do with reverse proxies and availability of necessary APIs.

Signed JWTs have the benefit of not having to first establish shared secrets with a trusted third party. The relying party need only fetch and cache the JWKs and validate the signatures on incoming JWTs.

SAML, OIDC, and such, sometimes can resemble Kerberos too. Their benefit lies in not needing HTTP clients to have any smarts, whereas "Negotiate" (RFC4559) does. SAML and OIDC accomplish this by relying mainly on redirect chasing by the client, though as a trade-off they get to deal with the problem of open redirectors.
I'm resisting kubernetes and might go with nomad (currently I'm "just using systemd" and I get HA from the BEAM VM)... But I do also get the argument that the difference between kubernetes and nomad is that increasingly kubernetes is supported by the cloud vendors, and nomad supports the cloud vendors.
Handling Side Projects as a Developer
Trump barely has support now, nothing close to the widespread popularity he’d need to refuse to leave office. There’s about a 0% chance the Supreme Court goes along with it, and without an election the Presidency automatically transfers.

He’d also have to be astoundingly popular among the Secret Service for them to betray their oaths. His military support would tank, and him, his family, and administration would be in constant fear for their lives. IMO, he’s just not that insane, stupid, or popular enough to even try.
You mention unnamed "experts" and "consensus" without citation.

Post your sources.
I will admit that I had to re-read this argument. Are you suggesting that Target is racist, because it employs loss prevention tactics? I will admit that this is an odd conversation for me. In a sense, it feels almost as alien as a guy telling me that I owe him reperations by virtue of being in US.

Could you elaborate more? It is possible, I am not getting this.
Free markets don't have shortages.

For example, why don't we have shortages of beef and chicken, while fish are threatened with extinction?

For another, during the California and Yukon gold rushes, men rushed to the gold fields. Women rushed, too, but not to mine the earth for gold, but to mine the men for their gold.
More than that - there's a population at-risk of death. At 3-5X the ordinary disease rate. They'll be isolated until a vaccine becomes available - months or years.
Ask HN: What words are on your Twitter “mute list”?
I use Twitter to keep up with infosec news, some of my hobbies, and current events to an extent. When using Twitter, I feel like it's always hyper polemic discussions, and conspiracy theorists & bigots invading every space I try to be politically absent from.

I want to construct a word list that won't completely knock out my ability to keep up with current events while also not having to endure arguments about the validity of some marginalized group.

This is primarily for my mental health, I just can't stand immediately being bombarded with intense conflict in every single space I try to participate in.
Also nuts that CBP is the one doing it.
> the primary goal for many [new professionals] becomes, in essence, getting compensated sufficiently for sidelining their original goals. Robert H. Frank, a Cornell University professor of economics, tried to find out exactly how much compensation people deem sufficient for making this sacrifice. He surveyed graduating seniors at his university and found, for example, that the typical student would rather work as an advertising copywriter for the American Cancer Society than an advertising copywriter for Camel cigarettes, and would want a salary 50% higher to do it for the cigarette company. The typical student would want conscience money amounting to a 17% salary boost to work as an accountant for a large petrochemical company instead of doing the same job for a large art museum.

Correct, but it's disingenuous to suggest they're not strongly correlated at the group level.
I find your appeal to hyperbole pretty distasteful. Please be civil and argue from the facts of the situation. There's a huge chasm of difference between what GP is saying and the words you're putting in their mouth.

I've used both Unity and Godot at a hobby level and what I found was that with Unity, I spent almost all my time playing around with game mechanics. With Godot, I always spent a considerable amount of time importing resources and fiddling with them before being able to do anything useful other than add basic shapes to the screen. I think it's probably a problem of being the underdog with a much smaller asset market, but that's literally the one thing that made Unity worth checking out for me. I've downloaded most releases of Godot to play around with them as they come out though, so I'm really excited about it growing further.
Think of this comment what you will, but to me that is some beautiful code. I love the conciseness. Snobol is a bit like that, too. Languages today tend to be relatively verbose, but certainly not as economic nor efficient.
This is almost quaint compared to what Persistent Surveillance Systems is doing over Baltimore right now.

That sounds naïve. What do we call it, when demand outstrips supply? A shortage. Maybe temporary, maybe a bubble, but real.
Expecting the Hasbro/Parker Games DMCA take down notice at any time :-)

More seriously, I think it is pretty interesting that board games would be the thing that meant this person was automatically considered aristocracy and upper class because they had board games buried with them. Today of course someone with a lot of board games or a love for them is often just considered a nerd. Perhaps nerds ruled Norway at the time. That's an interesting thought too.

Use Heroku, AppEngine, or if in k8s, Knative/Rio.

It's confusing because a lot of people being exposed to K8s don't necessarily know how Linux networking and web servers work. So there is a mix of terminology (services, ingress, ipvs, iptables, etc) and context that may not be understood if you didn't come from running/deploying Linux servers.
Kerberos doesn't really scale to the Web at this time. It could, but it would be much better if we could just improve the WebPKI and make a true hierarchical PKI that mirrors the DNS. The latter can be done either by having registries and registrars operate name-constrained (possibly by convention) CAs, or by adopting DANE (DNSSEC Authenticated Network Entities).
I strongly disagree with drone striking, but arresting someone in an effectively hostile territory isn't a simple or safe job. Your only hope there is that he enters an airport, or international waters.

It is made with next, newcss, and mdx. It should be easily self hostable with few changes so you can have your own curation site.

Edit: I am aware of the firefox issue now. I fucked up and didn't test on it. And it's fixed now.

Is the reverse also true? If you have the training data necessary for "good" results on GPT-2, is it generally correct to assume that it would provide better results on your task than GPT-3?
Yes, and realizing there is probably a larhe subset of people who'd say they love JS but hate PHP can make a man who know both too well confused. Or at least aware of the hypocrisy ;-)
Show HN: High quality source of algorithms/DS for competitive programming

I've occasionally seen sources of algorithms/data structures posted on HN, but they've mostly been fairly low quality. This source was created/maintained for the International Collegiate Programming Competition, which has a 25 page limit.

The 2nd amendment was intended to keep people with a healthy fear of one another. The equation is clear - to take another's property means one must risk something even more valuable; one must risk their life. It's that inequality that preserves order and to try and rebalance the equation by cancelling out the ever-present constants and insist life is above both liberty and prosperity, then you are fundamentally altering the social construct in untenable ways.

Turning off the feature doesn't sound so bad considering the CRJ-200 first flew in 1991, it took 26 years to identify the bug so I assume it's not used frequently at all.
Website idea to combat censorship on major platforms
After seeing many platforms attempt to silence content creators either explicitly, or silently, I grew frustrated that in order to see certain view points on specific subjects, it was enormously difficult to find these creators. Typically its either via word-of-mouth, or some niche forum that mentions where to look. (note this was long before the current pandemic)

I wanted to find a site where I could find these lesser known content creators. These platforms paint with a broad brush, and categorize many 'dissidents' with the same rhetoric.

My idea is CreatorBytes.com

I'm still fleshing out the details, but essentially the site will allow content creators to create a page where users can find all of their content linked from a single site. Further, they can notify their users who choose to follow their page, in case the content creator's typical communication channel is compromised.

Users can find creator's library of content, without the chance of the creator being silenced on their other distribution channels.

Eventually, with enough creator pages, users can also use the site to discover similar creators.

The website aims to serve a few functions:

One, as a backup in case the content creator's main communication channel goes down.
Two, as a centralized place for users to find content across a variety of platforms.
Three, a place for content creators to share their content with a wider audience, and for users to find new content they otherwise couldn't see.

Further, Creator Bytes is oriented towards privacy, transparency, and value, without compromise.

If you're interested in learning more, and being notified once the alpha site is active, sign up for an email notification at https://creatorbytes.com/alpha

If you have any questions, or comments, you can reach me on this thread, or at creatorbytes@protonmail.com

I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback from the HN community. Thanks!

Well, hell, OK, then, let's do that.
Hm. Systemd already runs all your services in cgroups, so the same resource limit handles are available. It doesn't do filesystem isolation by default, but when we're talking about Go / Java / Python / Ruby software does that even matter? You statically link or package all your dependencies anyway.
How are you deploying the workloads into the cluster? Manual kubectl or Helm, GitOps with something like Flux, something else?
Swarm is still supported and works. I have it running on my home server and love it.

Kubernetes is fine, but setting it up kind of feels like I'm trying to earn a PhD thesis. Swarm is dog-simple to get working and I've really had no issues in the three years that I've been running it.

The configs aren't as elaborate or as modular as Kubernetes, and that's a blessing as well as a curse; it's easy to set up and administer, but you have less control. Still, for small-to-mid-sized systems, I would still recommend Swarm.
This is for ATTACK drones, where they are actually killing people or coordinating fire.

We are talking here about SURVEILLANCE drones.

Quick tip: it does not.
Yes, of course - but - it is becoming so.

Twitter and Facebook are starting to approach the threshold of 'public good' wherein at least, there would need to be rules or regulations.

If TW and FB did not actually regulate their content - we would see this exposed much more quickly. Foreign/Russian interference in elections would immediately force Congress to act, there's just too much power.

Aside from the ambiguities of 'how and what to police' we do have the added complexity of the nature of 'large, ostensibly public platforms' managed by private companies.
That isn't how the word is defined. Google the definition of rationing :-)

People misuse language all the time, such as using "literally" for emphasis rather than description, but when talking economics one should stick with what the economic terms actually mean.

For a more relevant example, "free markets" do not mean you can pickup things at the market at no cost.
(author here) this is true! That's what I'm trying to explain in the `state` section of the article.

State lives in a "global" and the component is modifying it. So it's "leaking info out".

It's hard to make comprehensive mental models that cover all the bases and leaves nothing out
I guess you're right that many large gifts are, but what about the (combination of) small gifts? And all returns on interest on such gifts? I mean if I donate money I don't know what contract would exist preventing it to be used for this sort of a purpose. Who would the contract even be with if I personally don't agree to it and I'm the one donating?
