> That's victim blaming. And definitely not appropriate when we are talking about society oppressing someone. No one person can control society. And if you belong to a minority, the group you belong to has a much smaller voice when it comes to influencing society.

I genuinely do not understand how someone could possibly claim that simply acknowledging that a victim has influence on their situation is already victim blaming. It's horrible that people even have to think about how best avoid being victimized, yes totally. They should not have to. But that does not mean it should be impermissible to suggest ways they can act in their best interest.

> You keep saying that it creates more members of a radical group, but that's not true. No one becomes the member of a radical group just because someone else is outraged that they are suffering from injustice.

I'm not convinced. Many people convert to radical groups because they feel ostracized by the mainstream. Screaming "FUCK YOU RACIST! GO DIE" at a forum poster will only push them further right. Engaging with "I think you are mistaken, here is why" might cause them to reconsider at least part of their worldview.

> And history says you are wrong. From the American Revolutionary war, to the Civil War, the the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, and to today's black lives matter movement what we have seen is the opposite: the more outrage there is over social injustice the more people eventually decide that the injustice we tolerated in the past is no longer acceptable.

Would you disagree that there might be a better way of achieving change than letting it spiral into an all-out war? That seems a bit accelerationionist-y and I presume that's not what you actually want.

I think your optimism is a bit premature.
This site lists PE based on trailing 12 months earnings as 27.75:
https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-pe-ratio

So PE of 23 is probably based on projected "forward earnings" which isn't really that useful. The most common time period for both is 12 months and the projections are usually coming from a combination of guidance from each company and analysts at banks and investment companies. Obviously there's a large margin of error in these estimates.
Well, I heard an interview on NPR a couple days ago from a young Black woman who was surprised & hurt when she discovered some of these terms and is part of the effort to change them, so there's not exactly a consensus.

This is the most sane thing anyone can say.

At some point there is going to be a critical mass of people not paying their mortgage, not paying rent, not paying loans, not paying credit cards...and simply no money and unemployment.

I think this week we will begin to see some acknowledgement of the realities because July 15 is the new tax return date, and I think there will be millions and millions of American's who just say F it, I am not filing/paying taxes.

Then again it also wouldn't surprise me if 10s of millions end up homeless before the end of the year while politicians keep parading around unemployment numbers and the stock market record highs, while these people get swept under the rug and never actually acknowledged.
How does one separate cause from effect here? People who are more privileged have two advantages: they have more resources with which to maximise their 'beauty', and also beauty standards will tend towards emulating those of higher status.

> Many competitors have raised a lot of questions about how Jio did not follow the rules (there are a lot to link) the basic one being a rule about giving free plans for more than three months (which was not allowed by TRAI - Indian telecom regulatory authority - previously). but nothing happened, and people were happy with free internet.

These competitors are the same companies who had 'cartelized' the telecom industry[0] and had refused to bring down data prices in order to ensure their profits. I wonder why questions weren't raised against TRAI back then. Once Jio entered the scene, they did bring down the prices.

I am inclined to agree with you, but as a counterpoint consider that if you're an African-American woman, the cost of adhering to U.S.A beauty standards is high, several hundreds of dollars a month. This is not an exceptional but a considerable minority that can't become 'very attractive' without heavy expense, and can't easily lead a healthy lifestyle when they are priced out of everywhere but places that are food deserts.
Author here. I built sourcestack as an alternative to AWS Amplify for creating full-stack serverless web apps. Amplify is a great tool, but as it's a high-abstraction framework that hides infrastructure behind libraries and code generation tools, I frequently end up fighting against it when it doesn't meet my requirements.

In my opinion this is the essential and insidious problem of frameworks - they make certain things easy, but they require you to cede too much control and you end up constrained by their assumptions and locked in to their roadmaps.

sourcestack takes a template based, low-abstraction approach that surfaces all infrastructure and common logic as source code within the workspace, giving you complete control over all aspects of your application. It aims to provide a batteries-included, forkable foundation for a web app that encourages adaptation and a deeper understanding of cloud infrastructure. I'm hoping that others might find it useful and perhaps be inspired to create forks or similar templates for other technologies.

Well OneFC is a pretty viable competitor in Asian markets. I love their 4oz muay thai division. PFL seems like it has a lot of potential in the US but trying to overthrow a monopoly is hard of course.

I agree with your statement though, I've written about it before back when XFL was going on. I think there is some potential for multiple fighting orgs however. But first they need to take away some market share from UFC. Once they get on more even grounds we might see cross-promotion fights, something that is normal in boxing. As it stands though, UFC has nothing to gain from that, but Bellator/OneFC cross promotion has been floated in the past.

Genet: Fat-Tree Overlay for Personal Volunteer Computing Using WebRTC
I kinda agree with the article just not the reasoning that got to the outcome.

1. Saying we use 10% of our brains doesn't imply 90% of the mass is unnecessary. It could be saying 90% of the electrical activity is unnecessary, or 90% of the synapses are unnecessary. I don't believe the myth, but doing a hard logic stop from 10% to that means 90% of weight is unnecessary is not implied by the statement we are arguing against. It's nothing to do with arithmetic.

2. If you look at the article one of the 1st headings is "Size Does Not Matter". So does it matter or not? When you look closer the stand out features of humans is a wrinkly grey matter, so surface area (i.e. grey matter) seems important and mass based arguments are a correlation to that. (also big bodies have more sensory area so their is an inverse correlation to body size too)

Anyway, I think the point of the myth is to say humans have more potential than their default. If you take some Ritalin or Cola you might agree that the natural brain can be souped up a bit cognitively (not by 10x). Experience and learning also gets more out of an (nearly) identically sized brain too. You can't take an experience brain and cut half of it out to become a toddler again though
> Bookies can seamlessly be added.

Kafka brokers can seamlessly be added, too.

> I remember adding brokers to Kafka and taking advantage of them on existing topics meant repartitioning which if I recall correctly breaks the golden ordering contract that most devs bank on.

Adding brokers to Kafka does not require repartitioning. It requires data rebalancing ('migrate' some data to the new brokers), which does not break any ordering contract. I suppose the words sound sufficiently similar that they are easy to be mixed up. :)

(For what it's worth, BookKeeper requires the same data rebalancing process.)

> The data written to the partition will always be in the order for that partition itself.

Yes, for Kafka, all log segments that make up a topic-partition are always stored -- or, when rebalancing, moved -- in unison on the same broker. Or, brokers (plural) when we factor in replication. Kafka's approach has downsides but also upsides: data is always stored in a contiguous manner, and can thus also be read by consumers in a contiguous manner, which is very fast.

In comparison, BookKeeper has segmented storage, too. But here the segments -- called ledgers -- of the same topic-partition are spread across different BK bookies. Also, because of how BookKeeper's protocol works (https://bookkeeper.apache.org/docs/4.10.0/development/protoc...), what bookies store are actually not contiguous 'ledgers', but in fact 'fragments of ledgers' (see link). As mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, one downside of this approach is that BK suffers proverbially from data fragmentation. (Remember Windows 95 disk fragmentation? Quite similar.)

No approach is universally better than the other one. As often, design decisions were made to achieve different trade-offs.

TCL is an often overlooked language. It has a lot of weirdness, but that's a symptom of it's age I think.

I really like it as a language for interactive command-shell type use cases, as opposed to languages like Lua. It feels much closer to a shell than a programming language. If you want some kind of interactive command shell, I would very much vouch for using TCL as opposed to writing your own from scratch. There is also a lightweight/embedded variation, Jim TCL[0] if that's more your bag.

It is an interesting choice for writing a parser in, but it makes a certain amount of sense. It's portable, battle-tested, and has surprisingly robust string processing facilities. I have also found it useful as a data format, but rather than writing a parser in TCL, I tend to prefer to define keywords to turn TCL into a DSL. Here is a trivial example I made up for this post: [1].

I feel like this will create another OpenOffice forking into LibreOffice kind of situation.

I can see myself not being able to pay for the Enterprise product, but wanting it, and having the core part available to fork and extend.

It's a noble way to guarantee a good management and funding, but it's still rings different to how Open source feels. I don't know how to explain it, really. I'd say the one project that rings somewhat true to that spirit in my mind would be PostgreSQL.

That being said, I will always use and support LibreOffice and their descendants, should they exist in the future.

Certainly, but I'd argue the problem is entirely with people's expectations. Stock market indexes were never an appropriate tool to measure current economic health.

This is important because it relates to the interpretation of the data related to the same timelines that raised the sea levels and, therefore, the water table level that flooded these underground caves in the limestone karst.

The interpretation of the data is wrong, but it is the same misinterpretation that is mainstream in the catastrophic climate-change literature.

I watched a snippet of the Joe Rogan podcast sometime ago and Joe Rogan's exclamation at the end of the segment went something like "wow, that is the real inconvenient truth". The hypothesis is tied to the historic delta-O-18 [1] data that is best captured by the LR04 Benthic Stack [2] and fully corroborated by other data sources like Greenland/Antarctic ice cores, and cave stalactites.

The problem is that the delta-O-18 data is often represented as a delta-temperature proxy. It is a common mistake to assume this is real temperature, it is not. The best way to think of the value is that it represents the amount of fresh water trapped terrestrially. The event in the historical data set represents the sudden release of the glacial meltwater trapped in the North American Great Lakes / St. Lawrence River basin. It is fully expected and does not represent a sudden change in temperature. There are also many predictions that can be made based on the event being tied to a sudden influx of fresh water into the Atlantic via the St. Lawrence river.
