Rosa Parks launched a boycott to protest a bus system that was so racist that even the horrific Jim Crow laws weren't enough for bus drivers who kicked off black people (and police officers who arrested them) who had a legal right to their seats.

Other protests broke the law with sit-ins.

Can/will it be adapted to handle provisioning in cloud environments? - e.g. set up EC2 instances or is it your expectation that it will work with something that will handle that part?

I don't see the conflict? If the GraphQL query is translated into SQL on the server, then then the query optimizer would optimize that just as effectively as if the query had been written in SQL originally.
You can't when organizations make blunders that destroy themselves.
Thanks for noting this! I am from (real) SW Virginia. While this looks great as a headline--because everyone knows of SW Virginia's impoverished situation due to coal economy dependencies--Montgomery is definitely NOT the poorest county in SW VA. That's on the border of barely qualifying as "SW VA" in my opinion. I'd rather see this impact in the coalfield counties of Buchanan, Wise, Dickenson, Russell, Lee, Tazewell, etc. The trouble with those counties--regardless how much VA 9th district politicians in that area beat on about their half-measure broadband access--is simply internet access. The intent of dropping physical books is to address the internet access problem. It's a more poverty-stricken area than some realize, nearly third world.
I'm describing a lot of things, JSON-Schema documented REST APIs being another one. The other thing about GraphQL is that you can make a query that contains multiple requests and allows the server to optimise how to process them, which is not something that REST or gRPC are very good at.
> the conflict between efficiency and resilience.

I've been thinking about this a lot. It shows up in everything from mechanical devices to the global economy.
sorry if it is off topic but I want to learn alpha zero from beginning , I do have little understanding of Machine & deep learning including vision recognition.

It was not a comment about the blog post! It was just my thought as a user of the product. He should probably spend his time marketing as he already got a working product, rather then rewriting stuff.
Recently (I believe around a year ago or so) my university lost access to many publisher services because of some negotiations. The negotiations were about a new Norwegian law requiring all publicly funded research to be publicly available. I don't remember exactly what happened with the negotiations, but I presume they somehow found a solution.

EDIT: Found a relevant website about open access in Norway https://www.openaccess.no/english/
So you're saying if I do a simple PHP status page that is only rendering data from a static JSON file into some HTML (which is basically all I'd use PHP for these days) it requires me to know a pile of edge cases?

Does someone making a simple a PHP application on a home NAS that isn't exposed to the outside world need to worry about SQL injection from their kids?
I just copied things I already knew about. I did a tutorial for a side-shotter flash game. Then I made a breakout/arkanoid clone, which was much harder for me. Then I made "Tetris with a shop to buy blocks". That one took me almost a month.

The code was ugly, but each project got more sophisticated than the one before and showed me the value of certain techniques (after having done things in a more difficult way without them).

Tutorials are fine, but you really need to work on your own projects afterwords and use what you've learned. You'll get stuck and have to struggle through parts, and in the process learn quite a bit. Start with smaller projects and work up to bigger ones.

You're right, I didn't see these when I checked their site.

At the same time, I stand by my argument that there is often a great reason why you want to standardize. For example, do you want a cyclical dependency in your production stream. If there is a defect in your people movers, and you need those people movers to operate, you now have to split the newly produced people mover parts for fixing your production equipment vs getting them out to customers.

The point I am making isn't that IT is some bastion of brilliance and operational excellence. They're mediocre at it. And this is a good thing, not a bad thing.

As orgs scale, you want to be less nimble because any given success or failure is amplified. If a 10 person company screws up and goes out of business it sucks but it's not a big deal. 800 people? That's enough to get a presidential candidate to visit your campus to speak about the important of retaining jobs.

People underestimate the impact of the work we do in tech. Another thread on HN today pointed me to https://medium.com/better-marketing/pepsis-40-billion-typo-c... which I think is a great example. A simple software bug led to 18 million in loses, huge brand damage, and deaths of people involved in the protests.

I've found good recruiting agencies through LI, and a whole lot of spammy ones.

Today, the location of your birth is the dominating factor in what life you will be able to enjoy and how much will you be able to contribute, ethnicity, religion, and other common bases for discrimination pale in comparison.

The current citizenship system makes no sense, economically or morally. Why should the place of your birth or the citizenship of your parents should mandate which countries you are allowed to visit and in which markets you are allowed to participate?

If the trajectory of liberalism continuous its march (a consistent trend for hundreds of years, but not a certain one), then the citizenship system that we as a world have crafted will be either replaced by a more sensical one or entirely scratched (i.e. open borders). I hope that this happens within my lifetime.
I haven't done that in decades. Has something changed recently that made it easier to create an ACID data store with static files? Last I looked, ACID was tricky enough with static files that it was easier just to use PostgreSQL.
Because these anecdotes are unsubstantiated, they can come across as sour grapes, which I think damages your good cause of exposing the serious misconduct for which there's actual evidence.

The bitcode is basically just LLVM IR, is it not? And that encodes plenty of platform-specific behaviours. Though with both being little-endian and both LP64 maybe there's less of an issue there?

https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2011-October/04372... is still my go-to pointer for the portability of LLVM IR (and bitcode); I don't know how Apple have dealt with the instability between LLVM releases of bitcode, but there's certainly plenty of potentially shortcomings if you want to compile for a different architecture.

Controversial stuff, even well documented controversial stuff, gets scrubbed from Wikipedia all the time.

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAND_Corporation

You would suppose a think tank directly responsible for such policy gems as :

• Mutually assured destruction

• The Missile Gap

• Planned Shrinkage

• tax cuts for the rich and service cuts for the poor

• Systematic Torture of enemy soldiers in the Vietnam war

• Deployment of Agent Orange

• Planned military coups of a number of third world nations

• Their employee (Daniel Ellsburg) leaked the pentagon
papers

And all manner more of cold war controversies and excesses would be better covered, but any attempt to introduce them to the article are almost immediately cleaned from that page (check the edit history).

The history of the RAND corporation is documented, but you aren't going to find that information on Wikipedia.

There is very clearly a PR organization sitting on top of that article scrubbing and sterilizing all the dirty stuff RAND has been involved in.

A lot of small businesses got their start by leveraging the ubiquity of Amazon. Far cheaper than trying to roll your own services and also got a large set of eyes on their product.

Which is great until Amazon collects enough data to decide that it would be 'useful' to them to enter that same market.

So basically, you leverage Amazon to bootstrap your business, and Amazon uses your marketing experience and success to decide which markets to develop and enter.

There are tons of solutions for semi-open wifi for custmers, e.g. Sonicwall or Meraki firewalls and filter rules, etc. Many of them are Out of the Box solutions too, and are plainly advertised as SMB / coffee shop solutions.

Set em up, turn on filtering, log stuff, turn over any records if/when law enforcement asks.

You could probably hack something together that costs less, but that's adds overhead and wastes time; you need just enough to prove you're doing diligence and keep out of the low hanging fruit. Log everything, and if the fuzz asks for records be able to hand them over.
This kind of stuff is really FU to customer's face.

EU air safety agency greenlights all-electric training aeroplane
Its a question of margins. Take a look at the new Ford EV (Mustang) that competes Model Y. That care has the same amount of miles and yet has 2x the battery. That means that car is flat not making money.

Tesla has demonstrated 25% margin, and their Model 3 is still a nightmare to manufacture. The Cybertruck promised to get there too. The Model Y based on breakdowns is pretty well designed to make good margin.

One argument one has to make is not why is Tesla so high, but why are the others so low. They have gigantic capital stock that is dropping in value like a stone, the used car market will be fludded with insane amounts of old ICEs. These companies have thin margins already, and they will need to make huge investments in batteries and new product lines to compete. All of that with a stock market that doesn't make it easy for them to raise money.

We saw this during Covid, companies like Ford and GM start dropping 10s of billions as soon as their margins slide.

Even given all of those good things, Tesla is still high. For me, the only thing that can make it worth it, is the taxi fleet idea. If you don't believe in that, then the evaluation is way to high.

I bought my stock at basically the lowest point in Covid, but I think I'm gone hold it longer. Just because even if you don't believe in the fundamentals, I think the hype cycle is at a peak yet.

And I think I believe in the taxi idea, simply because whatever people think Elon knows about the potential profit and is doing everything he can to get there. Others simply don't have that conviction and drive.

Only use unpowered hand tools maybe. Unfortunately, using powered saws is always a little dangerous. Some table saws have a detection mechanism if it hits your flesh that causes it to hit the brakes immediately, but there aren't many other saws with that sort of safety feature. There are safety devices and safety protocols, but it's probably best to avoid them if you know that you tend to be absent-minded. Any safety device that lets wood near the blade will also let your finger near the blade.
A lot of these ideas have been trending for over a hundred years, as early as the psychoanalyst Freud and some as early as the philosopher Kant, its interesting to see how they bore out in the domain of science:

- The Pleasure Principle states that the mind's goal to ensure relative homeostasis.

- The mind does this by navigating a specific course of entropy in the face of the external world, this is the Death Drive.

- Selfhood is constituted by the presence of an Other and forces our minds to form an ego as a defensive behavior. Like in Kant and Hume, for Freud, the imaginative capacity of human beings is a very distinct and modular component of human sentience, used by various forces and for various effects, because it basically provides the bare material our minds bricolage into various schemas and apparatuses, such as an ego, phobias, etc. And already we're at the distinction between signifier and signified.

- Time is not a property of the unconscious, its an artifact of negotiating with the outside world. Literally the horizon of sensory organization as we have to sample the world discretely or go insane.

- Traumatic memories tend to be recalled in a 'timeless', 'disjoint', or 'dilated' fashion; trauma is literally the overwhelming and paralyzation of the defensive-sensory layer as a final defense. There is a continuous magnitude stuck in your discrete sampling system.

- The purpose of therapy/psychoanalysis is to, much like its early life, provide it the tools for assimilating this continuous magnitude so that you can begin to act by discovering its contours sorta like how people figure out what Black Holes are: by their effects - the purpose of free association is observe the automatic tendencies of the brain in how it uses sensory bare material to describe its organization, dreams, jokes, etc are places of life where this is easier to come by than when the ego is holding court.

Both in Freud and in OP, Kant holds dominion. It's starting to look like his speculations were pretty damn good. For example, Kant is the first person to say, well before Roger Penrose, that we know there's external matter out there we just have no way of directly attesting to it via sense-experience since that'd be circular as the brain's duty is to generate unified sense-experience.

So there's only subjectivity, you ask? NO! Not at all! Kant's entire point is that precisely because there is a necessary structure to subjective human experience, subjective human experience is objective, meaning there are rules that can be ultimately be derived about its form and operation.

That's so wrong it's almost painful. Copyright is the only reason why anyone pays attention to the license associated with compiled software. What would be the point of a license for an artefact not protected by copyright?

It also is absurd to suggest that there is artistic expression in source code but not in a direct translation of that same artistic expression.

And it's also worth remembering that binaries contain more than just executable machine code—they also contain strings, bitmaps etc. Are you claiming that strings and bitmaps cannot be copyrighted too?

I just got a job using my one-page resume. It looks almost the same as my LinkedIn profile. What’s the difference?
It was a piece calling for the government to murder protesters which the editor solicited and published without reading.

Now, you too are making things up. This is where “fake news” charges come from.

Here’s what it actually said:

Those excuses are built on a revolting moral equivalence of rioters and looters to peaceful, law-abiding protesters. A majority who seek to protest peacefully shouldn’t be confused with bands of miscreants.

But the rioting has nothing to do with George Floyd, whose bereaved relatives have condemned violence. On the contrary, nihilist criminals are simply out for loot and the thrill of destruction, with cadres of left-wing radicals like antifa infiltrating protest marches to exploit Floyd’s death for their own anarchic purposes.

These rioters, if not subdued, not only will destroy the livelihoods of law-abiding citizens but will also take more innocent lives.

Sounds reasonable to me. This also proved correct. And I agree with the article.
That's not what I said. The responsibility for the entire ordeal falls squarely, and solely, on the police. It was not "on both sides". It is not an accident, nor in any way inappropriate, for a man to defend his woman from illegal armed intruders. So the boyfriend made no mistakes at all, and committed no crimes.

You seem to be attempting to put forth a narrative that the boyfriend somehow made a mistake. Probably in some misguided attempt to support the police in this incident. But you're not helping the cause of LEO's right now. You're actually doing enormous harm to it. When you make mistakes you admit it, you hold people accountable, and then you fix the issues that lead to the mistake. That inspires confidence. The response of you and the Louisville PD and court system inspires not only lack of trust and lack of confidence, but also widespread animosity.
Strange, first time I’m hearing of this company. They went public last week but it seems their products aren’t available to consumers yet.
It makes me think of the small companies that completely outsource their hardware design and construction to Shenzhen, that are later shocked, shocked I tell you, to find the product on Alibaba for pennies on the dollar. Under about twelve different brand names.

They're available, but I don't think they're universally used. I read one article where the a pizzeria was offering bags for the drivers to borrow (because of bad reviews for cold delivery pizza), but a lot of them refused because they'd have to leave a deposit and didn't want to return to the store to return the bag.

MIT administrators still use Swartz as an example to threaten potential whistleblowers. Faced with that, people back down. For all the public repentance, this was intentional and malicious by at least parts of the Central Admin.

MIT has good guys and bad guys. The good guys won here, rejecting Elsevier. The bad players on the Swartz front are still there, and still making decision similar to Swartz.

People back down much more quickly with that example held up as what happens if you don't play ball.
A trailing period in URLs in written prose is always ambiguous. Is it the end of the sentence, or part of the URL? If a trailing period is legal, what do you do if a URL is at the end of the sentence? Leave a space between them?
