That's just not true, you don't need CALs for anonymous access, and most enterprises have different licensing such as Datacenter Edition where this just doesn't apply.

Just like how you can run an Internet-facing website on IIS, you can run a DNS server on Windows.

Anyway, $5000 is pocket change for most orgs, and it's a lot less than what it would cost to run an additional operating system on top of Windows. The time it would take just to choose a distro before even starting to set up several Linux or BSD servers would cost more than $5K in most places I've been. Then you have to worry about keeping them patched, backed up, in-sync with each other, etc...

If you don't already run a largely Linux/UNIX shop, spinning up BIND is much, much more expensive than a couple of additional Windows VMs on top of the pile of hundreds they likely already have.

Apart from the course promoted (which sounds really good!), does anybody know a really good book that already presents this kind of material about CSS use in a similar "logical" way and is not being written the style "margin defines the margin" (how insightful)?

I'm also searching for the material that is specifically oriented on:

- depending on the features existing in all browsers since the last 3-4 years, also mentioning how to make the features "usable" with the older vendor prefixes, but not depending on the JavaScript "fixes" for older browsers, and then showing the examples with minimal number of lines.

- demonstrating all the functionality that can be achieved with CSS only, no JavaScript

- addressing the real-life problems encountered during the design of the modern looking pages, and the goal to use all the power of the commonly available CSS features.
Considering that they got Obama's account as well, you could very well create a narrative and counter narrative using the POTUS and ex-POTUS accounts. For the sake of fiction, you could have Obama tweet that he is, indeed, taking over, and arresting Trump. Maybe not war, but it could exacerbate the lack of trust across political divides.
You can burn a lot of ammo in a single fight if you have any kind of fully or semi-auto gun. Human vs human is what these people prepare for the most.

A crossbow is a terrible idea as well. You need specialized machines in order to re-string it let alone if any other part fails. If your plans require zero reliability to civilization then traditional archery or an ~100lbs recurve bow modified with a trigger and a compound aim is your best bet.
"I wish we could leave the framework and name-dropping behind and talk more about what it takes to evaluate predictions, how to cope with biases, etc."

I know this influences our work, but that doesn't keep us concentrate on what's really up... or am i wrong?

By the way, I tried getting into ML but i'm really poor at maths and at that time was not willing to put time into maths. And nearly every tutorial back then threw formula after formula at my face... So a bit of mathematical education could not hurt. Doesn't have to be a PhD though.
> and it does not seem intuitive to me either, as it's a completely new set of companies launching those dubious ad formats and strategies

No it's really not. You can see it happening all the time on celebrity and "influencer" Twitter/Instagram/Tiktok. Most are pretty obvious, some are honest and use disclaimers that it's a paid ad but majority are just ads inside regular content without any disclaimers and such.
Companies are just resistant to change, period. It's a feature of human nature and is exacerbated in many companies cultures. Legacy stuff will always have an intrinsic advantage simply because it's low/no risk. New stuff always comes with some risk and most cultures within organizations are risk averse. The larger and older the organization the more true this generally is.

The most important kind of intelligence is knowing what one does not know. There's a mindset counter to this, that substitutes a model for reality and then fervently believes the model. Math and physics exerts a very strong selection force attracting people fond of this substitution. The responses here do not surprise me.

Our extrapolations always take the form of moving along a tangent vector out from prior experience. Prior to relativity, Newtonian physics was the belief that we actually lived in that tangent space. Surprises come when the deviations are large enough for reality to curve away from our models. I thought I understood how materials behaved, till I was stuck briefly on a mountain at -30F. People dance on decks that collapse. They smoke joints on exposed foam mattresses. Surprises happen.

I appreciate that in this universe, our experience confirmed that physicists' absolute faith in the Trinity experiment was well-founded. A billion runs of parallel universes would have likely work out. Take this out to a quadrillion runs? It turns out that alien life has always been here at the subatomic level. Like dogs not liking fireworks, that nuclear ping really pissed them off, so they engineer a virus that wipes us out. Or it turns out that indeed there's a quantum basis to consciousness. After that nuclear ping, the atmosphere is fine, but everyone on that side of the Earth keels over, no longer able to think.

The Trinity test was a step further out along the tangent vector than we'd ever taken before. We were deliberately creating a version of a Carrington Event on Earth, with absolute certainty that we understood and anticipated all consequences. The odds of calamity were small, but our existence was at stake.

>Boeing’s 737 MAX aircraft were grounded in 2019 after two fatal crashes caused partly by a software flaw.

Hm, I thought it was more related to Boeing's management misrepresented MCAS to avoid scrutiny.

From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_MAX_groundings :

> On the Boeing 737 MAX, MCAS was intended to mimic pitching behavior similar to aircraft in the previous generation of the series, the Boeing 737 NG. MCAS activated by input from only one of the airplane's two angle of attack sensors, making the system susceptible to a single point of failure. It could not be instinctively disabled by pulling on the control yoke. During aircraft certification, Boeing removed a description of MCAS in the MAX flight manuals, leaving pilots unaware of the system when the airplane entered service.[73]

Software can't invent sensor input. And hiding information from pilots being trained is not a software error.

Ask HN: How does one persist when there are a lot of naysayers around?
Building any product/company is hard. For various reasons. Sometimes founders/makers/creators are flowing against the tide. They have a vision that no one else either understands or refuse to accept due to some personal/political agenda. In such environment how does one persist and continue to follow the dream? BTW, not all dreams start with the idea of building a unicorn. Lot of them start because someone in the world has a vision for a better tomorrow.

Your claim that “as” being used is incompatible with it being unidiomatic is false.

The docs, the reference, and the RFCs all regards “as” as a mistake that should not be used, and _many_ features have been introduced over the years to reduce the cases in which “as” is the only alternative.

There are cases in which there is currently no alternative, so people “must” use “as”. This does not imply that it is idiomatic to do so.

You might see the Homer Simpson Car[0] and call it evolution too. But what I see is a mess, described as a sequence of hacks and bad decisions, just like HTML (and web stuff) today.

For context: I'm an American who's currently working as a software engineer in France (for a French company).

I agree that engineering salaries are much higher in the US than in Europe and other non-US countries, however it's worth considering that there are additional expenses to hiring in other countries. My french salary is ~30-40% lower than I was making in the US. However, my cost to my employer is nearly as high. Employer taxes are much higher, my company is required to reimburse my transit and all-but-obligated to cover lunch as well. Certainly, many US software companies do some/all of that, but not all.

And beyond those pure costs, there are more liabilities to the employer. For instance, if they want to fire me, they're legally on the hook for four months of severance. And, I get ~7 weeks of combined vacation time and "comp time" (based on the fact that I work more than 35 hours a week). In the US, I got 2-3 weeks.

I don't have exact numbers, and I don't disagree that there are potentially savings to be had, but I don't think it's nearly as clear cut that you could get anything close to twice as many developers.

As a researcher in the field I am not quite sure how I feel about these kind of resources. I am all for making research accessible to a wider audience and I believe that you don't need a PhD, or any degree, to do meaningful work.

At the same time, the low barrier of entry and hype has resulted in a huge amount of people downloading Keras, copying a bunch of code, tuning a few parameters, and then putting their result on arXiv so they can put AI research on their resume. This has resulted in so much noise and low quality work that it really hurts the field.

You don't need a degree, but I think you do need to spend some time to get a deep enough understanding of what's going on under the hood, which often includes some math and takes time. This can be made accessible and there are plenty of good resources for that. But all these "become an AI pro by looking at some visualizations and copying this code" is maybe hurting more than it helps because it gives the illusion of understanding when it's actually not there. I wouldn't want people learning (solely) from this touching my production systems, writing blogs, or putting papers on arXiv.
Honeycomb has one trick that it does very well, the high dimensionality analysis. Other than that Honeycomb doesn't do a lot, their alerting is basic, their dashboards are basic, etc.

Datadog doesn't do that specific feature as well (it has alternatives), but it also has so many other features that all tie together very nicely: metrics, logging, events, very good dashboards, analysis notebooks, alerting, SLOs, performance monitoring, trace analysis, security monitoring. It's a really extensive product.

When it comes to general observability, I'm a strong believer that you need a wide range of different views – just logs aren't enough, just metrics aren't enough, etc. I've worked in a team trying to use Prometheus for everything and there was so much friction, whereas with Datadog there has always been a way to achieve something.

I think Honeycomb is a good feature that should be bought by a company like Datadog and integrated into a wider more mature feature set.

There's one additional way people can lose domains: if they no longer meet the policies that allow them to keep the domain.

- The UK leaving the EU means British companies can't keep their .eu domains, unless they have a subsidiary in the EU.

Sometimes I wonder why companies even pay developers so much in the US.

It boils down to real estate prices combined with some companies really really really wanting those people to be on site.

I had my highest rate ever during a brief, beautiful moment in Switzerland where a studio apartment costs ~$2000 per month.

I choose to think that this rate is how much our work is actually worth - otherwise those companies couldn't afford having people on site.

> consequences

That is on the assumption of there is an accusation. Australia will simply be doing anything not in China's interest, that does not mean it oppose China nor accusing China or anything but China would immediately retaliate. Which in reality means if you are a major business partner to China you are ultimately controlled by China.

And you are right, no one has obligation to do business with anyone. And that is why some people has decided not to do business with China.
The simplicity is really appealing! Your video was good too, very clear.

> A good strategy is to hire a team

Some orgs may not know how to hire. I think here, competent (and well connected) consultants can help, and maybe source from their own networks, but we're back to the dilemma of which consultants to trust. And let's not speak of recruitment agencies :)
No reason :) The language is of course Logo-inspired. Once we'll have an "About" page or sth like that, we'll mention Logo of course.
To the best of my knowledge never.

So lets see. Suppose you do a Google Certification for AI|ML. This makes you an apt user of Google's AI platform. Your value lies not with Google but with other companies that want to use Google's platform for AI, ML work.

For specific AI,ML work(like developing the API that you are using), Google will hire PhDs and grad students who specialise in AI|ML. For engineering solutions of those products Google will hire software and distributed systems engineer. You will be hired by someone who wants to use Googles platform.
> And we are out of money / unwilling to pay for such projects. Australia is still relatively swimming in its natural resource boom and has funds to do that.

On a per capita basis, the US is richer than Australia. According to 2019 IMF estimates, US's nominal GDP per capita is US$65,111 (ranked 7th), Australia's nominal GDP per capita is only US$53,825 (ranked 10th) [1]. Similarly, the US's PPP GDP per capita (2020 IMF estimates) is US$67,426 (ranked 10th), while Australia's is only US$54,799 (ranked 19th) [2].

The US is a richer country than Australia in both relative (per capita GDP) and absolute (overall GDP) terms (and both nominally and at PPP). If Australia can afford tunnels, why can't a richer country like the US afford them too? (Especially in the Bay Area Peninsula, which is one of the wealthiest areas in the whole of the US.)

Social media was praised so much for its contribution to conflicts outside western world, like middle east and North Africa. In the beginning of Syrian civil war for example; Twitter was the place where propaganda was streamed and extremists from all over the world would leave homes to join other extremists behading heads somewhere.

Now, we see the potential of social media to be a tool for coordinated attacks against the western world. Just imagine this attack during the protests last month in the same narrative that started civil wars in other parts of the world. When tens of people start shooting and killing eachother, nobody would discuss what triggered the chain of events.

This is a simple test that reveals how fragile is society in contrast to how much attention they pay
to Twitter. The worst, the value we get from social media is also unclear. Low quality, unreliable bits of information turned millions to pigeons jumping from there to there and those who own the seeds can control the mass.
