> Are paywalls ok?

It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls ---> that have workarounds. <---

In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so.

Oof, that's a false equivalence. Construction workers have blueprints for how things are supposed to be built. You're (generally) making the blueprint as you go along, based on vague specifications in many cases. This can depend a lot on how your organization designs software, of course.

That isn't what I got out of the comment.

Progress gets quantized. Some quanta are small, easily shown, etc... other quanta are a bit bigger, less easily shown.

There is a similar problem in manufacturing.

Atomic releases.

While making something, there are many subtle tweaks to the BOM. Changes, substitutions, removals, adds.

Upstream people can make a real mess out of all that, and one way to prevent it is to only deliver releases that are resolved and intended for manufacture.

"where is revision 4?"

Doesn't exist, won't get manufactured, etc... "Use Revision 5 plz."

For the case of insuring expectations get aligned, a mock up can be used. Deliberately used to generate a spec.
Those two lines took two minutes to write.

Knowing which lines to add, and where, took 25 years of experience.

That's what you are paying.

SEV is a hardware function that provides real-time memory encryption. That's all. Maintaining full confidentiality beyond the boundaries of the processor's memory controller is not within the scope of SEV.

Google Cloud's Confidential Computing platform _may_ offer a broader solution with some type of cryptographic guarantee, using SEV as a component of the solution. I don't know how far they are, or if that's the direction that they're looking to take the platform.

However, if you're looking for a platform with remote attestation that the computing environment is fully trusted, SEV is not sufficient. You would need a traditional TEE for that.

Taken directly from Google's blog post:

"Confidential VMs can help all our customers protect sensitive data, but we think it will be _especially interesting to those in regulated industries._"

(Emphasis mine)

It provides additional hardware-backed protection when sharing a physical machine with other tenants, which among other things, can make shared hosting a possibility for security-conscious environments that previously prohibited it.

If that doesn't sound like a useful feature, or you feel that it's theater, then you're probably not the target market for the feature.

One thing you might enjoy is recording your screen for yourself, and then replaying it at 10x speed.

I’ve done this before and it allows you to get some of the feeling of “being watched” with none of the privacy or security problems.

Also sometimes it’s neat to see the crazy process of building something, particularly if there is ui or visual design tools involved.

Also, I do think there is a whole additional level of understanding needed to practice or “work out” in front of an audience. There is some flourish to it, even if you are mostly doing your thing, you may have more round corners than you might otherwise.

It is definitely a different experience.

Those sort of high wattage configurations are only really useful for seeing your system at the top of the benchmarking charts. Nearly everything that scales to 64 cores will scale to multiple machines, at which point you're getting much better performance per watt by adding a machine which doubles performance at double the power than by unlimiting clock speed which gives you a small percentage improvement in performance in exchange for quadruple the power consumption.

Interesting. But do people actually do this in practice? I wonder if states report what percentage of sales tax comes from businesses vs individuals.
Why do you need to access the OS? If you break out of the web server, you have control of the container. You can then launch any sort of internal attack at the access level of the container. You could also launch a DDOS from the container.

Most of the bad stuff you can do when you take over a web server doesn't require root access, just user level access, and you get that whether or not it's in a container.

National security != information security

National security includes things such as the prevention of over-reliance on a foreign supplier working with a foreign subversive government hell-bent on their unfair mercantilist policies. It's economic security they worry about first, which could lead to a whole host of other security issues due to lost of leverage later on.
I think you'd agree that any claim it's 100% ineffective is a straw man, and was just for purposes of the example.

FWICT, most policy is being set with a baked-in assumption that remote learning is somewhat less effective than in-person learning. As I said, I don't see what the article does to add to that discussion, although it does possibly queue up a discussion on how we could make it better.

Counterpoint: Elon Musk is the only (publicly visible) CEO who is seriously talking about going to Mars and direct interfacing between machines and humans and making tangible steps toward these futuristic goals.

His rockets are [mostly] not exploding, his cars are selling to [mostly] good reviews, and neuralink seems to be doing something too.

Perhaps his cult of personality is deserved because although he (along with basically the entire industry) overpromised on self driving timelines, nonetheless he does seem to be one of the few people with the practical vision to take us into a techno future.

Consider that this guy went from a payment processing app to a bonafide private rocket company and is democratizing space flight (and satellite internet!) in what, about a decade?

People love to hate the guy, I believe because he has brash and harbors some unpopular (callous but rational) opinions. Regardless, the respect that he gets from his fanboys is arguably in deserved, if you're the type to find inspiration in great people.

Hmm, I thought you could specify larger node cidr at cluster creation time so you can have >254 ip addresses on each node? The default is /24 but you should be able to specify a larger block, unless you're on GKE (not sure if you can do that on GKE).

[Citation needed]

On the contrary, the US constitution specifically permits regulation of international trade as an enumerated power. All the US government needs to do is put ByteDance on the same entity list they put ZTE and Huawei on and Apple and Google would have no choice but to pull TikTok from their app stores.
A family member who was there provided me these points:

As the civil war ended, the armed population was told by the king to give their weapons back to the government. The Khmer Rouge kept their arms and 1) easily overtook disarmed areas, and 2) intercepted the shipments of arms which were collected.
>That motive doesn't make sense. Fauci doesn't work for the CDC, he works for NIH, a branch of HHS

I think you're reading too much into the quoted bit.

It's not that Fauci works for the CDC, it's that the administration is/was attacking both, in a way seems to be related to random political concerns and resentments rather than legitimate issues or logic.

As such, one may doubt anything they do regarding shifting responsibilities around. Framing the situation as if everything is pro- or anti-Fauci is kind of playing into the warped outlook of the administration at this exact moment. It won't last as it never does.[1]

>As described in PBS’s Frontline documentary series,
“Instead of becoming pariahs, the Khmer Rouge continued to play a significant role in Cambodian politics for the next two decades.The Khmer Rouge would likely not have survived without the support of its old patron China and a surprising new ally: the United States. Norodom Sihanouk, now in exile after briefly serving as head of state under the Khmer Rouge, formed a loose coalition with the guerillas to expel the Vietnamese from Cambodia. The United States gave the Sihanouk-Khmer Rouge coalition millions of dollars in aid while enforcing an economic embargo against the Vietnamese-backed Cambodian government. The Carter administration helped the Khmer Rouge keep its seat at the United Nations, tacitly implying that they were still the country’s legitimate rulers."

It doesn't matter because clearly support has failed. There is no way a thing like a prominent github account like this one should be suspended without immediate communication with the user, which did not happen. The fact that this ends up on HN at all is the problem.

Propulsive landing was not a spacex innovation. They simply picked back up the research agenda of Delta Clipper.

Actually based on advertising around Washington, DC and the lobby groups that run those ads, there is plenty of money in the metal and paper industries to lobby both for and against coinage changes, because I have seen it the last time this issue came up. DC is so packed with lobbying firms that work on portfolios of every issue under the sun that you have to have lived and worked inside the beltway for a while to believe it.

This is SSRN - arXiv for social sciences. You can download the full text of the paper if you click.

The paper, I think, makes a more interesting claim than you give it credit for: those areas that can afford scholarly work tend to make use of free resources the most. Based on this work, it is possible that open access alone is not enough to give poorer universities, etc. the access to scholarly work.

It's not clear what "agenda" you think the paper has. It seems like an interesting piece of work.

That could be solved one layer up by just using Signal or similar for messaging and calls. Unfortunately voice over an LTE IP link is still quite unreliable compared to an actual call.
I’ll add some ideas. I hope you can accept them.

I think you and a number of other posters have alluded to or directly referenced a “progressive agenda”. And, others have mentioned attacks on “freedom”.

To me, those are some powerful and emotional phrases. And, they’re also so vague and able to encompass pretty much everything that one doesn’t agree with. To me, as someone with casual knowledge of linguistic manipulation, this seems very suspicious and designed.

Then, there’s the fact that I believe I’m a moderate. I have a subscription to the NYT. I like it. I think the journalism and writing are top notch. I generally skip the opinion page because it’s pretty boring, but when I do read it, I think it’s a often a bit tailored to the most ardent of NYT subscribers.

Because I’m a NYT subscriber, I’m often called a “progressive”, Apparently, because I’m against racism and other forms of individual oppression, I’m also considered a “progressive”. They don’t seem to care if I’m for state’s rights (I’m American) or low taxes or capitalism Or rights to firearms, or anything.

What if you’re being manipulated by a influence operation? Why do I say this? Because I genuinely try to empathize with The people who call me this (on-line, at work, family members, etc.) But, instead of giving me specific details, they just cite things that are completely unrelated to me: Antifa, Soros, Bill Gates, or whatever the buzz is that week. And, eventually they grumble some more about “freedom” and drop it.

So, here’s an opportunity for you. Lay down a believe that’s so controversial, that you think it will be censored and oppressed, and I promise to read it and empathize with your point of view. And, I’m sure others will, too.
Well, we need to operate from a baseline of where we are today. In a vacuum where we have been developing remote teaching techniques for just as long as in-person, you're right that perhaps remote teaching would be _even more effective_, but we simply have no way of knowing.

Per the rest of my comment, I agree that rather than complain about the situation, we should be identifying ways to mitigate or exploit the situation to improve learning.
Do the 1 under Bush and 3 under Reagan not count as well?
The Soviet universities also had Marxist agriculture departments that guaranteed year after year of food shortages due to "bad weather". Anyone who disagreed was purged until only Marxists, whom they defined as the only true "intellectuals", remained.

True anti-intellectualism is when you don't allow intellectual debate. It doesn't require emptying the universities entirely. It is sufficient to empty them of anyone who doesn't sufficiently support the mandated opinions. You can then define those politically pure supporters as the "intellectuals" and anyone who doesn't go along with them as, by definition, "anti-intellectual". You then have an anti-intellectual system where intellectual debate has been silenced, but the universities remain open and anyone who disputes their pronouncements is on the outside and is called "anti-intellectual".
I didn't know it was paywalled before I clicked the link. I came into the comments to see if someone posted an alternate non-paywalled source. My "long comment" was a meta comment about paywalled articles on HN, not about the article itself. Me paying for access to an article will not generate a good discussion by itself, because discussions almost necessarily involve multiple parties. I never claimed that HN banned paywall content.

I don't want to be mean but literally every sentence in your post is off base or just wrong in some manner.
This article made a number of great points.

> I know some developers don't like having to fix bugs, and so do whatever they can to get out of it. Claiming there isn't enough is a great way to look like you're trying to help but not have to do anything.

God, this behavior has annoyed me so much at times. I've worked with a few developers that were not bad overall, but would use the slightest excuse to punt on fixing an issue they were tasked with but didn't want to track down. Regularly weaseling out of tasks like this wastes the time of multiple people and either ends up back with the original dev or gets dumped on a more responsible worker.

> Because I took the time to verify if there were other parts of the code that might be affected in similar ways.

Not looking for other places in the code that are very likely to be affected by the same issue is bafflingly common, in my experience. Although I would say that managers are much more often to blame for this behavior than the devs. Any workplace that puts less weight on fixing an issue well than on artificial metrics like number of tickets closed is incentivizing exactly this type of behavior. Why bother getting criticized for spending all day fixing a simple bug the right way when you can fix 5 different iterations of that same bug and close 5 tickets in the same amount of time?
The significance here is that a paper with data has been published regarding the phase 1 trial[1]. Previously, Moderna had only reported some of the study results, and no study data.

A later study had been delayed, raising questions about what might have happened in the unreported cases during Phase 1.

It should be pointed out that the significance of the Moderna approach extends beyond COVID-19. If approved, it would mark the first time for an mRNA vaccine. Such vaccines don't need to gain entry into the nucleus, just the cell membrane. They don't modify the genome, just cause ribosomes to start making viral protein. Given that many diseases are caused by lack of functional protein, this could have implications for medicine beyond vaccines.

Panacea or not, open access should be table stakes for the entire academic publishing system. Especially for the result of work that's funded with public money.
It’s bad faith because it speaks to the content of what I said and not the point.

I am one of those people who managed code hosting repositories: but it’s completely absurd to assume that code hosting was without any cost involved at all, and to remove all of the other integrated features too? No. Absurd.

And anyway. The point was making is that we are already paying for services that save us a lot of time- they are of incredible value, and thus universal.

And yes, you might not spend 5hrs a year on _just_ code hosting but code hosting and web view and merge request portals and issue tracking and so on- should those services not be provided somehow (or be provided by something like jira/swarm etc); would easily cost more than that in time.

Hell, even running gitlab is an hour/w job just ensuring that backups are well tested and CI machines are purged, running updates and so on.

It has a low cost, because it’s just one person doing it, but the overall _point_ was that we already have some services that save us time and the parent was not speaking about them.
The criteria was actual not very challenging to meet. I think part of the reason they backed off was because the intent was not enforceable.
It's just red meat for the base. The administration doesn't actually want to restrict immigration, they just know that they were hired to restrict immigration, so they have to appear to be working on that. Notice that every single time they've done any kind of immigration restriction, they either walk it back within 72 hours, or allow themselves to be stopped in court. It's all just a sham for the voters in an election year.
While this is technically true, using old, unsupported versions of software (such as etcd) in production is a recipe for disaster, especially when you start running into problems with it.

I think, in the case of etcd, it would have been better for the k8s folks to fork the project and add whichever features they felt were needed to be able to use it for k8s. Instead, it seems like they swarmed the original project and added a ton of features that made it a behemoth of complexity rather than the simple tool it once was.
It's explicitly against the rules here to complain about paywalls - please don't do it it's really boring.
