Very surprised to see F.A Hayek on HN. I would recommend the Road to Serfdom to anyone who is interested in learning more about his viewpoint. Also reading Thomas Sowell wouldn’t hurt either.

What surprises me is that the discussion here is taking the original article at face value. Sure, the Indian govt is citing national security as the reason for the ban. But take a slightly cynical view, and focus your attention on this sentence:

"Jayanth Kolla, an analyst at research firm Convergence Catalyst, told TechCrunch the move was surprising and will have huge impact on Chinese firms, many of which count India as their biggest market."

That's the real reason. This is just posturing between two neighbouring countries who are currently involved in a border dispute. There is already a lot of military posturing, a lot of diplomatic posturing and now a lot of market posturing, which includes the Internet.

To all the commenters in this thread.

If kubernetes cannot run a database then what good is it? (And I suppose the same issues pop up for things like a persistent queue or a full text indexer.)

The end goal of Kubernetes is to able to create and recreate environments and scale them up and down at will all based a declarative configuration. But if you take databases out of it; then you are not really achieving that goal and just left with the flipside of kubernetes: a really complex setup and a piece of technology that is very hard to master.
gexia says>"One of my first pick-ups as an adult in a bookstore was Gödel, Escher, Bach... I ended up giving it away."<

You did the right thing, provided you didn't throw away part of your life reading that sludgepot of a book.

After reading GEB, I used it as a doorstop in a utility room. Probably still there, lying in wait for some fool to pick it up and get sucked into Hofstadter's voluminous prose. I would have burned it but burning GEB would take too long to be worthwhile. When I think of burning it I think of one of the old wood (and paper) -powered Volkswagens that the Germans used domestically during WWII:

https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2010/01/wood-gas-cars.html

search for "Mass-produced woodmobiles"

GEB might provide enough paper to drive out of Germany. Had the Germans made a "bullshit-powered" automobile they could have launched themselves into orbit with a single copy of GEB.
One option would be for people to start paying each other in gold.

Based on my experience with feature flags on some projects that made extensive use of them Rust is definitely also vulnerable to this issue. In the projects also not all configurations and feature combinations had been tested, and some specific configurations caused compilation to break.

Good CI configuration can definitely help to catch these issues, but it's obviously an extra effort for projects to set up. The alternative could be to simply avoid feature flags and always compile everything, which depending on the project might or might not be the better option.

Surprised me as well. Milton Friedman's Free to Choose (book and tv) remains so much relevant reading in 2020. Hayek was very hard to comprehend because his writing is information dense. You have to read a sentence carefully few times to full comprehend it.

Mechanism is by reducing the blue light hazard right? This is the same thing as why red light is used is the astronomy community to preserve night vision.
In addition to just feature flags the fact that a lot of Rust code is generic and would only be compiled into binary form in the final application would likely prevent excessive use of precompiled artifacts.

I believe it's the other way around.

Good rank-based systems are less prone to strategic voting and manipulation than plurality voting (= an ordinary vote), because each voter can safely put their preferred candidate first, even if that candidate is unlikely to win, without harming the chances of their next-preferred candidate.

They don't need to vote strategically to try to keep someone they particularly dislike out.

The no-so-good rank-based systems are less effective at this separation (though no system can be perfect at it), so people still vote strategically of course. But the pressure to do so is still reduced compared with plurality. Plurality is probably the worst of all options for pressuring people to vote strategically.
Last commit was in March, mind you. It looks like an interesting project though
As far as I know, the Klan doesn't actually exist anymore. In its second most famous incarnation it was a fraternal order like the Freemasons. But that disintegrated in the 40s. Since there's no legal enforcement of the brand anyone can and does use the title for cultural history reasons. Today there are dozens of disparate "KKKs" with no official continuity with the famous KKK that amount to a couple thousand people in a nation of hundreds of millions.

So what would you even be banning other than the word KKK itself?
If you're really doing video, I suspect you'd use storage arrays (perhaps arrays of SSD for high-end) instead of trying to cram it into your workstation, not to mention you'd want redundancy (and sharing) for production-type work

Note that this was a policy decision based on whim and a politician lobbying. No hearing, no evidence, no recourse, no rights and no meaningful alternative. Also a decision not taken by the banks nor, I believe, were they consulted.

The upopular person's (Wikileaks here) rights are your rights and my rights. If you think the've done the wrong thing, you're entitled to that opion and establishing that is literally what courts are for. Much the same way we might want law and courts involved for suspension of a driving license and not simply because a politician doesn't like you and lobbies a bit. "Nobody who drives for UPS can drive on the roads because they love Putin" --not as ridiculous a fabricated politician's quote as it should be.

But going back to it being a data network and standards organisation that describes the classic long-run decreasing average total cost curve of the natural monopoly which makes privatising it for profit a pure "rent-seeking" play.

So we can see how egregious the monopoly is two ways there. Practically with an example and according to classic and relatively uncontroversial micoreconomic theory.

So what about the classic monopolists' defence, which will come up again here. Define the market to be bigger and claim it's a small fraction of that bigger market. Can we just dismiss that as total B.S.? ie "You can also use cash to buy things." Try running a business or calculate the additional cost of buying the things you need without using the visa/mastercard network.

Unless you have multiple networks with very low switching costs it's a disaster. Disclosure: Ajit Pai disagrees with all that totally.
I think it had to do with how other domains often have new words for things specific to it, but law, in addition to that, frequently redefines existing words and phrases to mean extremely specific things in particular legal contexts. These redefinitions often are not intuitive to the everyday user of the word or phrase. IMO, this is a big reason why lay opinions seem to matter less. That is, they are often commenting on a message that differs from the actual content of the legal text to such a degree as to be "not even wrong", as it were.
Also it’s like bringing up search alone when talking about web.

> "The conclusion here, broadly, is that white-box is better than black-box for this application."

Well I think this is incorrect. Generally speaking, a black-box exposes an interface that you can use, and a white-box is something you can internally modify.

One is not necessarily better than the other. Using a white-box approach can create tight-coupling between components in a system as you could be relying on internal mechanisms, whereas a black-box approach enforces boundaries in your system which is generally good. Also, it's often better to test systems with a black-box mentality to ensure security, resilience etc...

It's not inherently representing good/bad, however modern terms like, opaque/transparent might be more accurate and less controversial I suppose.

"Seem to have been shadowbanned for less" than...criticizing Rust? come on you guys. That's not even close. Perhaps you saw an account that was affected by a software filter, especially if it's new. We try to review the affected posts and immunize legit accounts against the software, but we miss some.

> Typically, it's a new account that says some reasonable things, and maybe one or two fairly unreasonable things.

Accounts get banned for the worst things they do, not the best. If one day I go get groceries, walk the dog, and set somebody's house on fire, "the majority of things I did were reasonable" is not much of a defense.

It's hard to speak in the general case though. People routinely overinterpret what they see based on what they assume is happening. If you haven't specifically asked and we haven't specifically answered, the explanation is probably wrong. It's not hard to get an answer if you try.

Doesn't really count as 'an FPGA', how it's implemented is really a minor detail. Lots of consumer and prosumer hardware out there is based on FPGAs, but programming it isn't something you're allowed to do. At least two pieces of hardware hooked up to my PC are powered by FPGAs.

Part of the logic here is that if you're only gonna sell 20000 units, it's probably better to just slap an FPGA in there than build out a fully custom board with a bunch of dedicated chips. The FPGA is easier to update after release, too.

I don't buy it. TSMC is a lot bigger than Apple's hardware business. Even if TSMC was on the market (which I doubt it is), Apple's needs aren't sufficient to keep an entire semiconductor fab afloat. Owning TSMC would mean that Apple would have to take orders from other clients, which really isn't the sort of thing Apple likes to do.

I think your issue may be with the exponential scaling of GPU cost at the highest end. As a consumer, you wish that a card ~2x the Titan in tflops only cost twice as much, but it doesn’t work that way for either platform, and of course isn’t helped by the workstation card market being smaller by unit than the retail/ORM gaming card market.

That said I did not downvote you; it’s an understandable frustration.

> If I was writing an iOS app, sure, I'd use Xcode, but I can't envision being it general purpose for anything else, unlike the versatility of other competitors like VSCode.

I would never expect Xcode to be the best general purpose editor/ IDE. It's good for Swift/ iOS development which is what its build around. Personally, much of the time I'd rather have a performant editor than one that has a million bells and whistles.
When I create an EMR cluster with 10 nodes with 16 cores each. I get 10 cpu nodes with 1.3 terabytes of RAM. Costs $10 per hour! I use it to run Spark to process and analyse data. Amazon has the option to have GPU based nodes too! If I run it for a whole month then it'd cost me around $7.5K. Running it for 6 months will cost the same as this machine. Although not an Apple to apple comparison. This seems like a reasonably priced machine, especially for Machine Learning/Data science folks (Only if it had nVidia GPU) :D. For someone who needs that kind of power, it's not overpriced. Especially for the quality of hardware you get.
So, forcing them to give users a choice is somehow equivalent to... forcing vendors to not give customers a competitors browser?

Ok sure. That seems totally the same. Not at all as ridiculous as the invented "monopoly of iOS" that people use to justify the claim Apple is abusing a monopoly position.

Next thing you'll complain Coca Cola is abusing its monopoly position on Coke.
You're right. No one knows what rules apply to transmogrification. That's why people use the http verbs to consistently create and edit things without having to look up the caching and idempotency rules of every random thing your API does.

If your API had a /transmogrification/<id> resource. I would know how to query its state and possibly edit it. I have a clear place to look for previous transmogrifications without crating a new one and I even have a nice query syntax support.

Or maybe you don't support GET and return a 405 response. That's ok too.

I believe what they meant was that Apple needs to support less hardware variations. Compilers frequently have a host of flags that depend on CPU features which can potentially make the code behave slightly differently. If cargo was to implement this, they need to compile each package many times (with different configs) more than apple need to do so for Swift.

And yes of course it is given that apple's resources is vast to say the least.

It's probable that the border issue made them more willing to take actions that they might normally avoid in fears of unnecessarily angering China.
