> Point in time backups isn't trivial either

Have you tried our built-in backups tool? See https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/export-and...

> How do I connect to existing databases?

It's straightforward in the inline configuration file, see https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/master/zproject/prod_set...

There's more detailed documentation available here:

https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/deployment...

We only store transient cache-type state in memcached/redis/rabbitmq, but they have similar configuration options.

> How do I store this in an existing configuration management system?

Our intent is that you configure /etc/zulip using your configuration management system and then use the Zulip installer to install the Zulip software (and it'll configure the services you've configured it to manage accordingly). Our puppet rules are intentionally written to allow only running the application frontend role on a system (as we do in our own production systems).

> You'd better run in on the recommended Ubuntu version, any deviations will cause the above procedure to explode into a ball of mud.

We support all Debian releases and Ubuntu LTS releases in production (which are the only ones worth supporting given that their-non LTS releases are only supported by Ubuntu itself for a few months and thus are structurally long-lived betas). And we're working on CentOS/RHEL support.

I'd love to collaborate on how we can improve Zulip's documentation around your use case. Would you be up for stopping by chat.zulip.org to discuss specific changes?
It's all on discords services. You don't host your own.
Looking at your history, you are biased against Google and bought into that cult. (this works both ways, you're not making a point by attacking me personally).

Looks like you got rejected and found a reason to attack everyone who works there. Like I said, this works both ways.
It literally could be replaced by sailing, but would be much more expensive, more human-labor-intensive, and less efficient. But it's entirely technically feasible, especially if motors or tugs are used for harbors and channels.
> There are such things as sports mobs, you know.

I agree. I never said mobs don't exist. I said mobs and mob rule are different things. That's true. You don't think that sports mobs are "mob rule" do you?

> but that doesn't make it any less exemplary of a mob in action.

I agree.

> The whole attempt to narrowly recognize mobs only when a minority is threatened is stultifying, and your entire line of reasoning is just begging the question.

I want to reiterate: I've never claimed twitter "mobs" aren't a thing. Nor have I claimed that mobs exist only when I minority is threatened.

I have claimed that twitter "mobs" aren't evidence of "mob rule". Mob rule is characterized by the failure of the government in the face of the mob. And mob rule is a concern because of it's inability to protect minorities. Please do not construct strawmen.

If you want to talk about the danger of a mob, let's talk about mobs, but don't talk about "mob rule" unless you really mean "mob rule", which you probably don't unless you're claiming that cancel culture represents an imminent threat to democracy in the united states.

> In a prison, the inmates outnumber the guards, but that doesn't preclude a mob mentality taking hold if the guards' behavior turned mob-like

Indeed, this would be due to power imbalances. But it doesn't mean that the guards running would constitute "mob rule". In fact, just the opposite. The guards in a prison are the people conventionally considered to have power in the situation. Them being in charge is expected. Them acting unjustly isn't mob rule, it's authoritarianism.

Please stop conflating the existence of a mob with the existence of "mob rule". They are not the same thing. Cancellation is not anything akin to mob rule. Once more: unless you believe that cancel culture is a literal threat to democracy, it is not comparable to mob rule.

> This is just another attempt to make an illegal move, like the sidestepping above. This time, it's implicit false dichotomy. Keep the good while eliminating the bad—that's what's in the argument to handle this without the chilling effect that cancel culture has.

I'm not clear on what you're saying. I'm saying that the value of cancel culture is greater than the flaws. So regressing is overall worse than reforming. There's no flaw or false dichotomy.

> Present an argument against those who acknowledge that the speech/actions are protected but should voluntarily be avoided rather than wielded.

Present an argument that acknowledges that they are protected but that they they should still be voluntarily avoided.
> Weird that they just not charge for egress as with other services.

My guess is they are charging ingress in place of some equivalent of compute necessary to transmux. That cost is fixed regardless of number of viewers.

Their docs state "The maximum input for a Standard channel is 8.5 Mbps and 1080p resolution (full HD)." but they could be outputting something less than that.

> In the summer, all this concrete makes the heat of an already pretty hot place unbearable.

A friend of mine lived in arizona for a while, where the summer days would routinely hit 110 degrees F (> 40C).

I asked him about it, and he said he worked during the day when it was hot, and when he would get home he could sit out in his backyard comfortably on warm summer nights.

Made more sense.

I can appreciate the idea that one's work can (potentially) function as a superior alternative to children, with respect to legacy. In general, I'm all for elevating the rational part of Human mind. On the other hand, I think it's dangerous to describe the reproductive priorities of the "primitive" mind as a "silly desire". To put it more concretely, imagine a husband who has just learned that the children he's dedicated years of financial, emotional, and educational support are not his own. Imagine the gamut of emotions that cross his mind: anger/hatred toward his wife's deception; the humiliation that comes from being deceived; the conflict that comes from both loving the children, yet despising them for what they represent. How do you think that man would respond if you told him that his feelings were the consequence of a "silly desire". It's all well and good to have a world with gay uncles that support their nephews and nieces; but somebody's gotta make those nephews and nieces.
It's worth it to me to question my perspective if even one person disagrees with me—frankly, even if no-one disagrees with me. If my beliefs can't hold up even under my own scrutiny, how can they hold up under anyone else's?

I would mention besides that, while there are often a few people very loud about their disagreement, there is no reason to think that there aren't more people made uncomfortable by an assumption I made that I didn't even realise I was making, people who don't feel safe confronting me about it. Maybe I hold the opinion sufficiently strongly that it's more important to me to say than to avoid worrying about it offending someone else, and I think that can be the right decision; but I'd rather make that decision consciously than bumble into offending someone out of ignorance.
Sailboats are complicated. Who's going to fund the development of an autonomous one of the above size?

I can buy this ship for ~4M USD https://www.oceanmarine.com/detail.cfm?5280%2DDWT%2DRORO%2CG...

Then transport 5,000 tons from Newark to London in ten days with <10,000 USD of bunker fuel.

Bunker fuel is very very cheap. I don't see how you can compete on either the fixed or variable costs with conventional shipping in the current regulatory regime.

An added issue with a flotilla approach is the decreased ability to handle sea state, which impacts the costs for insurance/LOC for shippers, as well as the useful coverage with respect to routes and seasonality.

How to use Smart Address Tags
I started my reply with the words "Either there's something very unusual about your personal situation...". So can you give an example of comorbidities that you wouldn't consider very unusual, and your estimate of the probability that the mother would die if the child were infected in that case? Remember that:

1. The secondary household attack rate is far less than 100%; the paper I cited found 18% for people >= 60 years old sharing the same address. So even if the child becomes infected, the mother probably wouldn't be.

2. Most eighty-year-olds have a lot of comorbidities already, so the IFR for that age group accounts for that.

Assuming only that the mother is in the oldest age category from each paper and the probabilities are independent, I get a probability that the mother dies if the child is infected of 1.4%. Comorbidities can indeed drive that higher, and maybe there's some dependence (sicker people both more likely to catch the coronavirus and more likely to die from it); but I think you'll find it very hard to build a plausible set of assumptions that would get you to "almost certainly", unless the mother is so sick that she's likely to die soon regardless. (Of course, that wouldn't mean her life is without value. But it would mean that when we decide we can't do something until a vaccine is available, we're deciding she can't do it ever again in her life. If it were my life, then I'd judge that calculation differently.)

Most discussion of probability of death feels rather ghoulish, and the above is no exception. All of us will die, though, and it's a question only of what we can do in the time before that. I'd rather plan that time using the best empirical estimates we can make than with half-informed hyperbole. Wouldn't you?
I think the best way to understand quaternions is to spend about a month curled up with a good book or two on Grasmannian/Clifford algebras.
Well of course if you exclude all of the attacks that didn't happen because 2fa was enabled, then ya, 2fa won't protect you against the ones that still happen. Lets compare this to.... car safety. Ya, if you get hit head on by an 18-wheeler on the highway, your seatbelt is only going to help you as much as the rest of the safety of the car. But in pretty much every other situation, I would be glad to be wearing my seatbelt.

It's uncharitable to focus on the small slice of situations that something doesn't work in order to deem it useless.
Not really. It's a matter of which variable do you optimize for? There was a lot of Hackernews moaning on the thread for the blog post where the guy laments Kubernetes and its effect on etcd -- about how modern software is too complex and this and that.

But simplicity is not what they're optimizing for. They're optimizing for productivity -- specifically, how fast a typical corporate webdev shop can go from zero to working app. That's really the only thing that matters, because there's no room for something like Qt in today's move-fast-break-things environment. Qt means developing, compiling, testing, and supporting across multiple platforms which a modern webdev shop may not even be able to do if they had the budget for it (which they don't). Hell, there's barely room for any language besides JavaScript.

So hence, we get Electron and we get memory bloat. And it's perfectly reasonable, given the right perspective.
Profiting from fraud or insider trading is dumb already. Might as well get the most bang for your buck and leverage your scam to the tits.
> Spreading the idea that shutting down was unwise is incredibly irresponsible.

Nonsense. I would argue that spreading the idea that shutting down was a good thing is and was incredibly irresponsible, but the difference is I don't believe in suppressing other peoples' ideas. But pro-lockdowners seem to love it. For the same reason they like the lockdown: it's a mentality that stems from a love of compulsion and control, and a sharp anxiety about living a full life.

> I'll let you do the math on how many are estimated to die without mitigation.

I don't advocate against mitigation (nursing homes, etc), but I advocate against containment full-stop.

Anyway, I have done the math. In fact, I've done the math with an IFR of .9% and assuming 82% of the population got infected (see Ferguson's paper).

2.2 million deaths. That's what the worst case scenario was.

And on balance, it was worth it.

What do I think the actual number is? Well, I'd use a new upper bound of maybe 600,000 - which BTW is around the number of cardiac deaths per year in the US. Amortized across 5 years, it becomes even less shocking.

These are upper bounds, btw. I think the actual number could be lower, but I don't bank on it. Unfortunately, given the way we classify deaths, it will be very difficult to find out what the "real" death toll was looking back.
That’s beside the point though. I wasn’t making the argument that some people choose to trade off between different values in different ways. I was making the argument that, even if you hold those values constant, you will never achieve any of them perfectly.

To put it in concrete terms: every possible human society has some inequalities based on birthright. Or, as I stated it, perfect justice is impossible.

It’s not a question of prioritizing certain values over others, although those questions can and do arise. It’s a question of achieving any one of those values in the real world.

I haven't been looking but I am not under the impression that hiring has bounced back. Didn't I see articles saying some big cos had a hiring freeze for at least the rest of the year?

And with the market flooded with big layoffs from businesses hit hard by lockdowns (Uber, Airbnb, probably others), whatever jobs are available probably have more competition than usual. Although perhaps enough time has passed so that the dust has settled for people affected.

> Trump said mean stuff on Twitter so people thousands of miles away should engage?

Trump said mean stuff on Twitter that has resulted in my friends being more at risk than they should be, people I care about getting gravely ill and quite possibly will result in one or more of them dying. If this sounds like 'fun and games' or a spectator sport to you then I'm sorry, I am not amused.

> You're getting all worked up about leaders of a foreign nation, that literally have nothing to do with you or have any impact on you.

America and the American economy impact the world.

> No I don't, and I don't care.

That's fine by me, but that is your choice and I have made my choice different. The United States well being concerns lots of people outside of the United States. That is the kind of responsibility that comes with being a superpower, like it or not.

> How your nation governs itself is your nation's business, and the entire point I'm making.

And yet, if a foreigner would have something useful to say we'd likely listen. Because typically outside perspective is worth a couple of IQ points.

> It's OK to ask questions, or wonder aloud... but to pretend to have a deep understanding and an authoritative judgement on foreign affairs, based on clearly biased opinions disguised as facts is simply unbecoming and devastatingly unproductive.

And that is your opinion. The whole idea that the media can no longer be trusted unless they clap in sync with the Trump marching orders is ridiculous. If you want some problematic media look no further than Fox news or Breitbart.

> What you are engaging in is sport... not a civil discourse.

So you keep saying. But it isn't a sport to me, it is deadly serious. And lots of American lives are on the line proving that on a daily basis.
Could you give me an example of a hospital in the US that ran out of ventilators? I'll wait.

> Once it passes through the entire population, we could very well see 5-10x the deaths we've seen already, or even considerably more. That's 5 MILLION people dead from a single NEW cause.

Are you speaking globally or in the US? If you think 5 million would die in the US, your upper bound is off by an order of magnitude.

This seems crazy to me.

It is if done for purposes of e.g. avoiding taxes or purchasing illicit goods.

"News" is usually a hybrid of celebrity gossip, ephemeral sports/weather, PR / political narratives, and journalism. You seem to be under the impression that everyone wants to "read news" like they are investigative journalists.
