I like to evaluate this, however, I'm curious what was the Passbolt's tasty recipe for building on top of CakePHP web framework?
This is extremely flawed reasoning, and I'm sad to see a comment of this low quality on HN. Tether's valuation is based on the assumption that it's backed by real currency.

They even removed the promise that their cash stores are audited from the website FAQ:

I presented an existence proof. New Zealand did this. So there is no residual doubt that it can be done.

Generally people determined not to learn anything will look for excuses. New Zealand has relatively low population density (outside the cities where it had community transmission...). Or it's further away from other countries. Maybe the virus hates the cold (remember how we pretended maybe it hates the heat? Yeah, good luck with that).

Such excuses don't matter. They might help some politician keep their job, but they won't stop you dying from a disease that those politicians decided they weren't really bothered about eliminating.

I follow infectious disease eradication programmes. Elimination works. Other approaches can reduce the impact of a disease, maybe temporarily suppress it in the First World, but only elimination actually makes it go away and stay gone.

The US ought to know this. It has endemic disease of a wide variety of types otherwise not seen in the First World, because it decided not to give its citizens healthcare. So if you're poor in America and you've got some awful parasitic disease that any other developed country in the world would fix as a priority public health measure, America says "Too bad, get a job" and the disease spreads.

A vaccine is about luck. We do not understand virology well enough to firmly guarantee we can build a vaccine for all the money in the world. So maybe you get lucky in the next few months and an effective vaccine is available in 2021. But maybe you don't ever get lucky, and then what? "Social distancing" forever?
Scleroticism doesn't imply horror stories. What I'd expect for it to do is drive out-migration and a lowered quality of life. And, looking at hard numbers, more Japanese people are emigrating and more young Japanese are committing suicide, in a country that already has high suicide rates. I'd be curious about the relation between aged societies and those numbers across the OECD.

The subjective stories I read don't suggest a particularly bright experience for most younger Japanese, though I'd be the first to point out that those are often more interested in painting a narrative for gullible Westerners than offering any real analysis.

I agree that Japan is a useful canary, and policymakers should watch its experience closely to evaluate how serious the problem is and potential solutions.
North Asia has too much problem by themselves already. They don’t need more foreigners money as they are already rich and would rather prevent Eternal September.

Not all South East Asian countries are welcoming to foreigners as well. I.e., Indonesia. They have too many digital nomads causing trouble and contributing nothing locally.

No skin in the game.
I've been to HK several times for business, always had great conversations with people of HK and enjoyed their vigor for life, freedom and resiliency. They fought hard for a year. I would say the same for China as well, except when I asked people about what they feel about not being able to vote, not being able to criticize the government, I always got "That's something that we don't usually discuss." I asked anyways despite of the taboo, for personal curiosity and understanding China. Probably was rude of me, but I never pressed on.

It is even more chilling to look at the timeline of the fall of HK. In one year, HK changed from caution to complete dismantling of the law. It happened in 1 year long slow motion picture of protests, black umbrellas and tear gas dispersions. Surreal. If someone asked me about the future of HK in 2017, I would have said it is going to take 20 years from now, nothing to worry about it. They've got time.

Taiwan should be extremely cautious and start to prepare for defenses, war and stronger alliedship with its neighbors. Before you know, Taiwan will need to surrender to China in 2023.

Thanks! I'll have to look into this some more but if anyone can volunteer the information, these questions come to mind:

- What situations could cause the look-ahead to be unbounded?

- How does the Go parser's implementation differ from those of the languages I'd previously listed which all also have angle brackets for comparison (and bit shifts, as another commenter pointed out) while apparently avoiding unbounded look-ahead?

- What challenges does the Go parser present when trying to adapt it to follow patterns more like those from the other languages' parsers?

- I'm assuming "unbounded" here doesn't mean "it could take unlimited time" but rather "it could incur non-negligible compile-time penalties;" do the benefits of a slightly-quicker compilation (which has nominally no impact on runtime performance) outweigh improved readability?
Looks interesting! I see you have plans for a camera. I've previously looked into this and I know that camera hardware needs to be cleared by some government authorities and there may be some limitations due to security concerns or something?

Could you expand on this? What are the limitations and regulations on cameras in space for civilian sats?
Social progress influences choice, which in turn influences economies, which influence people.

There is no cabal of They. The "shadow government" thesis is straight-up conspiracy batshit.

Unless you mean the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China who certainly authorized the two-child law just a few years back, but they're not really a shadow government. They're a regular one, just not very transparent.

Ultimately both Chinese communism (via Hegel) and Western feminism (via Wollstonecraft) trace their origins back to the French Revolution, so maybe you are being controlled by Robespierre.

I almost stopped reading the docs after the first screenshot.
Really, it gives a childish feel to the tool. I don't want my tools to have rocket or bear emojis. It makes me feel like the tool was written by teenagers.
Of course that's is not the case, but that is the feeling that I have when I see this.
I wrote a blog post about this that did the rounds last year about the topic I believe Copilot is trying to solve:

https://leebriggs.co.uk/blog/2019/04/13/the-fargate-illusion...

Summary: the marketing spiel about how easy fargate is to use and get up and running isn't actually how the experience is. I'm hoping Copilot improves that experience.

Glad you like BeeLine! There is certainly some confusion around what exactly "phonology" refers to, and some of this is because the word has different meanings in different contexts/disciplines.

Thanks also for the feedback on the demo control buttons on the BeeLine website. It was closer previously but then we redesigned things and it floated up to the top. Useful to know that we've taken a step backwards in some regards...
If it's bothering you that much, might as well ask your friend again.
I would say, that the answer is partially yes and partially no.

We have done several projects with simple machine learning problems, where e.g. semi-technical RPA developers have been able to implement ML based automation just fine. We have gotten compliments that Aito is easy to use, and one intelligent automation demo was implemented in 5 hours with some integrations by 2 RPA developers. It's worth noting, that there is an absolute abundance of ML problems (especially in domains like automation or UIs) that are simple to understand and easy as ML problems.

At the same time, we have run into many ML problems, which require data scientist to even formulate the problem and to think about it. There are also problems, where Aito's Bayesian approach is inadequate and you need a data scientist to do good amount engineering to make it possible to model the patterns and then find the right model.

So TBH: I don't think the predictive queries can fully replace the traditional models or data science work, but there are large application domains, that can be handled just fine with predictive queries and even by normal developers.

Regarding text: Aito can already handle simple texts just fine, and with representation learning based 'world modeling' approaches: I believe that we can do also more complex analysis on text.

Overall, Aito does not seek to provide the best models or solve the hardest problems, but it's value proposition is on speed and easiness. We focus on investment instead of return in the return-on-investment equation. It gives an advantage on the lower-value 'tail' of the ML market, where the importance of costs is higher, and where the traditional data science approach is economically not that attractive.
This doesn't say how many will be in view at any time. Since this tweet they've had suspected propulsion problems and have filed an amendment to change their orbit to a lower one.
Ok...the main point is that there is a shadow government that shapes our culture and people's perceptions through mass media and by corrupting influential people for the purpose of endorsing certain ideas/products. In that work, Bernays details these types of "shadow governments."
Speaking of water and desert, I have an interesting anecdote to recount.

My wife's grandfather, Ugo, an Italian army officer and engineer, served in Ethiopia and then during WWII as part of the "genio" (logistics) unit.

At some point during the war he was stationed in the desert (I think Libya), where the Italian army was supposed to either attack or mount resistance against the British troops. Well, the Germans had to somehow take over control, because the Italians were poorly organized and managed.

One day Erwin Rommel [0], "the desert fox", shows up at the camp. Consider that this was a camp in the middle of the desert, defended by the Italian garrison and probably some german troops too, with no refrigerators for food, etc.

He examines the place and the troops, and then the Italian commander offers him water to drink. To Rommel's surprise, the water was icy cold. He couldn't believe it. The commander introduces him to Ugo, who then proceeds to show to Rommel how he ingeniously created a system to cool water by using water evaporation in metal bins, and the power of the hot desert sun.

Ugo was impressed by the encounter, shared it with his son, who then shared it with my wife and then with me.

I thought this story was worth sharing.

You are failing to account for the gender imbalance. Consider an extreme gender ratio where for the 2.1 born for an average woman, there are 2 males and 0.1 females. This means that every generation will have 10X less women.

I mean, the fact that the price of this asset has been heavily manipulated in the past and the price has since come down a bit would not be evidence that there is not still manipulation happening, or that the price has reached it's "fair market value"
> Are all opinions entitled to a private platform? Expressing disagreement via mechanisms a platform provides is, indeed, expressing an opinion.

You seem to be of the opinion that the downvotes are more important than the comment they are downvoting: They are not. They are at best, equivalent, and deserve no more special recognition than the comment itself; yet the fact that a comment gets buried as a result, gives those downvotes a weight greater than that of the subject comment.

Because if that weren't the case, you'd recognize that those downvotes are ALSO apparently entitled to a private platform.

If it's good for one, it is good for both, and it is equivalent to argue that the downvotes aren't entitled to a platform either, and you're left at square one, without a meaningful conclusion.

Maybe, just maybe, that isn't a useful approach to take.
It's hardly a random employee's fault that Google lost the court case.

I doubt anyone would be fired for a $600k mistake. When you work processing legal requests, there is always a chance you get sued. If Google blamed their court losses on the employee that originally caused the problem... they'd have a hard time convincing anyone to do that work at all.

This person probably handles dozens of requests a day. There would have to be serious evidence of neglect for the employee to suffer any punishment.
Huh? The barrier to entry isn't cheap rocket launches. It's a business plan with the satellite.
The parent comment said it well. This could be a good backup model to work with that could serve as a pivot if it turns out that most developers, like myself, tend to be pretty good at finding a package that fits their needs, but aren't going to read through the entire package to see if it's safe or if it opens connections to some random IP address in the install script.
Companies that only ever learn to spend money to make money tend to flame out when their market matures. They never learned how to sustain.
Expanding failures of CDK due to popular demand:

- It introduces an edit-test-debug cycle from hell, it doesn't do what you think from the mental model of a user-friendly CF template generator library (doesn't statically ensure stuff it emits actually works even superficially)

- It builds upon an already difficult and leaky abstraction (CloudFormation) so you just get additional failure modes and cognitive burden

- Glacially slow iteration, can easily take 10-30 mins to teardown/setup your app due to CloudFormation.

- fails to provide upsides from the costly tradeoff it makes to jump into turing complete programming languages, like 3rd party cdk components or iterating expressions at a repl

- don't even get me started on the npm dependency hell (you'll randomly be debugging mystic npm warnings already on the next day when installing a new submodule of cdk deps, when version mismatches appear), the other-languages-to-npm bridges, the "you can't use this without an IntelliSense style IDE" API design, buggy cli tools, etc

To summarize it doesn't manage complexity or give you a good abstraction. Probably because it tries to take on all of AWS functionality at once.

(Also the GP linked Fargate example is far from the functionality from the copilot example, like enabling you to actually dev and deploy the app - ecr, codebuild, codepipeline etc)
India and China are both projected to have a <1B population by 2100.
So when the OAS [0] fraudulently, according to the Guardian, the New York Times, and every subsequent study, accuses the legitimate Bolivian elections to be fraudulent, after which a well-coordinated coup by the military and the far-right establishes a dictatorship that keeps postponing elections (Haven't seen that happen in Egypt before), that is also completely coincidentally the group supported by the government of the United States despite the press, academia and intelligentsia of the country recognizing that the elections were legitimate, that is not a US-backed coup?

Because it seems to me that it was a coup. That was backed by the US. Which makes it a US backed coup.

[0] The OAS is a cold-war era organization that was literally founded in order to instrumentalize the Monroe Doctrine. Moreover, the current chairman of the OAS publicly states his support for regime change, and the organization is largely funded by the US. It was designed in order, and still largely acts, to implement US foreign policy.

The CIA literally had a budget in order to remove Allende from power. One of their top priorities was to fund, cause, and instrumentalize a military coup in order to remove Allende, which happened exactly in the timeframe they planned, and was executed by the actors that they had counselled and financed for the past two decades in the goal of removing any left-wing president : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_intervention_in_.... It is absolutely certain that the US was instrumental in the overthrow of Allende, with the CIA even publicly taking credit for creating the conditions that led to the coup. After the coup, the US politically and economically backed the military dictatorship. So yes, the US caused, and backed the coup. He was overthrown by his own military, that were organized to perpetrate a coup by the US.

It is literally a pattern of machinations. There aren't a series of dozens of coup d'états that mysteriously happen in countries with CIA activity that also happened to be against US interests, and that turned out exactly to further US interests. The CIA didn't make contacts in the militaries, in supranational organizations, and with local interest groups for fun.
> And for people who don't know what they are talking about general reactivity "isn't right" ... not sure why anybody cares about the opinion of those without the requisite understanding.

reactivity = relativity?

And as people we must* care about the opinion of people without requisite understanding, because for most pieces of knowledge that is indeed the majority of people. If we ever hope to grow knowledge you normally must get other people involved, so good explanations and keeping in mind the layman when he might wander into the conversation (AKA this thread) is a good idea.

> In actual functionality, and applications, LXD does not offer the same functionality as K8S, nor does it claim or attempt to do so.

k8s manages the orchestration of compute, network, and storage for applications running on a group of machines, LXD fits this same exact description.

> The "similarity" you are pointing out is between K8S container runtimes[1] and LXD - and even they are quite different, and there are already many container runtimes.

LXD is not a container runtime -- lxc is the container runtime. LXD manipulates lxc the same way docker swarm manipulates docker, or kubernetes mainpulates docker/containerd to get things done.
I think you've found a confounding variable. The root cause here is that people are entertained by something that pushes their buttons. What you've said makes it sound like people want to socialise but are hampered. I would argue that people are not that hampered but rather choose not to socialise in a way which leads to dating (or community engagement)

The main retort to this is, what about all those people who have a gnawing pain of loneliness. Well, with fewer people that pressed to find a partner, local community engagement is down. This forces dating online which results in people screening, judging and not taking chances, leading to a low success rate. This is not a consequence of a lack of social skills. When people engage in person, there are multiple interactions that occur which are not judgemental (in dating terms), leading to more opportunities for people to see the interesting bits in others.
Unlimited lookahead parsers are not necessarily inefficient in terms of time. PEGs for instance run in linear time, but use up linear memory, which is the problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar

> - How does the Go parser's implementation differ from those of the languages I'd previously listed which all also have angle brackets for comparison (and bit shifts, as another commenter pointed out) while apparently avoiding unbounded look-ahead?

I think parsing Java or C++ requires unlimited lookahead.
Well, the answer is kind of long. We are going to have a meeting/workshop this week with legal company that specializes in space law. Two major points clear so far:

- For our first mission camera resolution is not a big concern, we are not launching KH-11 grade hardware.

- However, there is list of specific locations that need to be blacklisted for "national security considerations", depending on both of satellite operator jurisdiction and satellite users' nationality as well.

It is going to be messy and complicated, but in the words of our legal consultant: "difficult, but doable".
There are no valid or invalid reasons, it's nobody else's business really.
Does this mean Microsoft's BSOD now stands for "Blue Shield of Death"?

"A stop error or exception error, commonly called the blue screen of death or blue screen, is an error screen displayed on Windows computers following a fatal system error. It indicates a system crash, in which the operating system has reached a condition where it can no longer operate safely."

Look up the 72(t) rule relating to a 401k. You can retire early and start withdrawals at any age without penalty, as long as you continue the withdrawals for sufficient time (the longer of five years or until age 59.5.) This fixes the "too much in the 401k" situation.
You're refusing to try because you might lose. This is taking a loss by default. It's like a sports team refusing to go onto the field. It counts as a loss.
Here's an early article on predictive databases:

https://aito.ai/blog/introducing-a-new-database-category-the...

The big difference of the predictive queries / databases compared to trained models is that predictive databases are prepared / optimized to allow making arbitrary predictions without pretrained model. So you can basically as to predict any X based on any A, B and C and expect a more or less immediate answer.

The benefit of not having pre-trained models relates to workflows and architecture, as described in the article. The disadvantage of having such instant generic prediction capability is that it's technical hard to implement, as described in the 'Quality' chapter.
I am actually "going over there" as I'm currently living in Indonesia, which has more Muslims than any other country. The problem with your previous comment is that you seem to think that everyone in these countries is the same; the very definition of bigotry is judging people by their attributes (such as country of origin) rather than on individual merit.

The people I meet and hang out with is a biased selection for sure, but the vast majority of them would be an asset for most countries because they're smart, well-educated, and generally "good" people.

Other people ... yeah, maybe not so much. But again: judge the individual.
So here is my doubt if there is a Air polluting source nearby how does it affect the quality of water? What happens to the pollutants like carbon monoxide , nitrates present in air. They might get dissolved in water at the time of condensation?
