Well, Sustainable means sustainable, but not for humans, for the ecosystem. Ecosystem must remain (relatively) stable. To keep its stability the ecosystem must be allowed to grow diverse and awfully complex.

That the fish populations do not decline is not enough. All economically valuable species of fishes populations are depleted. In all parts of the planet. They must increase ASAP.

And there must be something left for the fish predators and other parts of the ecosystem. If not, there is a serious risk of collapse of the entire house by a waterfall of collateral damages.

If you remove predators, there will be consequences in prey populations, that range from displacement of key species to extinction of the preys.

Marine Mammal's bycatch is a waste and not a desired outcome in fisheries management, but moral reasons are the wrong reasons here.

They should not be wasted because we want and need fishes in the sea. We don't want oceans filled with unedible jellyfishes.
Passionate Journey
Tomorrow you have a .0001% chance of dying. Care to increase that to 1%? (E.g. walking through a bad thunderstorm.) Or 10% (Walking through a battlefield or in the middle of a busy superhighway.) Then are you willing to live with that level of risk every day for the next nine months? In time, increased risk adds up to real danger.

You also overlook the many people on campus who are over age 30 -- all profs, and most academic and support staff. Infected students will mix with them and increase their risk to a dangerous degree that none of them would welcome.

Or are you thinking that you can run a college with only students and no staff? Dream on.

Same here. Capture One is the last thing that’s keeping me on the Mac. I have tried DarkTable and RawTherapee several times over the years but never got the same image quality out of them. Maybe it’s possible but the learning curve is very steep. Same with the Gimp. It seems very powerful but Affinity and Photoshop are much easier to use.
Beirut's government is notoriously dysfunctional and incompetent at the basic tasks of governance. When I was there some years back, there were huge protests precipitated by this incompetence, and that was half a decade ago. People tend to underestimate how much institutional capital is involved in basic governmental tasks running smoothly, even in a country as politically polarized and dysfunctional as, say, the US. It's very plausible to me that this was just a result of that incompetence.
Welding without sufficient care can cause a lot of trouble.

I wonder if there are likely to be any metallurgical differences (e.g., strength, flexibility, likelihood to crack, etc.) between cast and stamped parts? My sense is that it's generally understood that 3D printing methods for metal produce weaker parts than casting, but I'm not sure how different non-3D printing methods compare.
That's pretty much the prerequisite to all conspiracies: attributing to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
FWIW, I play Factorio and Satisfactory for different things. Factorio is where I go when I want to whip around quickly with my designs, flinging around blueprints and optimizing to my heart's desire. There's also that base/tower defense element that can be a different kind of thing compared to what you get with Satisfactory.

Satisfactory is a more meditative experience for me where I enjoy building and exploring within a beautiful, hand-crafted world. I find myself building with cosmetics more so in mind over optimization.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for one or the other, but they feel distinct enough for me to not substantially cannibalize my time. Though, mine is but one point of data!
> CloudFlare markets its Edge Workers as running in separate "containers" — these are Node.js execution-context sandboxes.

This is inaccurate:

- Cloudflare Workers does not use Node.js at all. It is a new custom runtime build on V8.

- Cloudflare absolutely does not market Workers as using "containers", in fact we market them explicitly as not "containers": https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloud-computing-without-containe...

(Disclosure: I am the lead engineer for Workers.)

----

In the industry today, the term "container" refers to a hosting environment where:

- The guest is intended to be a single application, not a full operating system.

- The guest can run arbitrary native-code (usually, Linux) binaries, using the OS's standard ABI. That is, existing, off-the-shelf programs are likely to be able to run.

- The guest runs in a private "namespace" where it cannot see anything belonging to other containers. It gets its own private filesystem, private PID numbers, private network interfaces, etc.

The first point distinguishes containers from classic VMs. The latter two points distinguish them from things like isolates as used by Cloudflare Workers.

Usually, containers are implemented using Linux namespaces+cgroups+seccomp. Yes, sometimes, a lightweight virtual machine layer is wrapped around the container as well, for added security. However, these lightweight VMs are specialized for running a single Linux application (not an arbitrary OS), and generally virtualize at a higher level than a classic hardware VM.

The list of people who can witness passport applications in the UK is quite interesting. It's got all the usual jobs you'd expect (lawyers, doctors, clergy etc.) and then a set of other jobs which are wildly diverse: childminders, for example, accountants, military officers...

The common factor turns out to be accountability. If the childminder falsely certifies an application, Ofsted will revoke her registration for dishonesty. A military officer will be cashiered. A teacher sacked and added to the barring list. So even those posts which are not 'professional' have enough consequences for acting falsely that the state relies on them to be honest.
Tesla had to do the R+D on a new alloy of aluminum to make this work. None of the carmakers do R+D on basic materials and are limited by the commercially available alloy formulas. They have been doing aluminum castings but they are much smaller than Tesla's.
"Conspiracy theory!" has become a term for dismissing genuine concerns.
Ok, but "discrimination" is a loaded word and definitely not neutral. It has implications. It implies a right to admission that ignores the desires of those who built the school to what it is now (which would be that their heirs get to attend as well).

Not all selection criteria is "discrimination". Alternately, if it is, then there is nothing inherently wrong with discrimination.

Again, these are private schools that everyone is talking about. The use of legacy admissions in a state school would be completely wrong.

I completely agree where you're coming from however, in the case of Mozilla I believe that the reference is relevant.

If you see that the company is producing a good product that you're donating to support. Would the "customers" (supporters) want to support the time and cost associated with kicking out the CEO over personal+(believed to be) private activities? (Context: Brandon Eich donated 1k of his personal money to a conservative/anti-gay org, and an activist within mozilla found+escalated this and claimed hostile work environment, eventually got him removed)

If I was donating, I would be pissed to know that valuable time was wasted about that and the loss of talent of personal politics and disagreement.

From my understanding, Tesla has been offered help by many major automotive manufacturers such as VW, and rejected it.

Perhaps that was foolish in hindsight, since most of their quality, workmanship and repairability problems stem directly from having to learn (through trail-and-error) all the same things the other manufactures learned long ago.

The parallels with McDonalds taking Chipotle under their wing to teach supply chain management, distribution, food safety and more are undeniable. Chipotle's founders famously scoffed at learning _anything_ from McDonalds... which may have resulted in the numerous food safety handling issues they had a few years back (not washing raw produce that was transported through multiple handling facilities and then into stores), and legendary portion control variance (totally depends who makes your burrito... it may weigh a 1/2 lb, or 2lbs... a total coin flip).

It's difficult to scale these complex organizations - why make it harder on yourself? Learn from other people's mistakes and try not to repeat them.

foisting large insurance bills onto Tesla customers because Tesla couldn't design their car to be repairable, even by Tesla themselves - doesn't seem fair either.

I'm sure there's some cases where that might be true or it's not practical for other reasons (I'm not an automotive engineer or anything), but remember, the 3 has ~70 parts welded together for this same area of the car, so welds themselves are not fundamentally bad.

* don't reboot a server until its really necessary - like a kernel upgrade etc.

rebooting is never a solution, this is just pointless "panic mode":

if its still possible: investigate why the system becomes slowed down ... a hardware-problem/ram or other resource-constaints or "real" dos-problems like out-of-tcp-connections etc.

* for this: use proper monitoring - mainly graphing - as simple as munin or more complex like prometheus & grafana

From my experience, if the frame of the vehicle is functionally damaged then the car often totaled anyway. Maybe that is not true for expensive cars like the Model Y.
There is no need to hunt for a conspiracy theory. Once the decision was made by their judiciary to store thousands of tons of explosives near a major population center, the important question ceases to be about what random unexpected event happens to be the one that sets it off. The probability of disaster was clearly going to integrate to one over some timescale. The failure was systemic. The tragedy was inevitable. It's actually kind of amazing it took this long to happen.

The zeal to nationalize has gone from."theorerical improvement" to dogma to outright mental sickness. At this point just accept that partnerships where entities specialize in what they are good it can exist already instead of going full paranoid improbable worst case scenario. Amazon would not do well if they tried to occupy a small nation-state. It would be trivial to the US government. (Whether it would be wise for either to do is another question.)

The treatment of "nationalizing being a bad idea" as a threat is a black and white insanity like equating being "unable to be murder someone without consequences" equates to the target automatically becoming the immortal god king eternal tyrant over all.

> Yes, the company is dead before the servers are shipped, if amazon goes down everywhere and not recover.

I don't understand why you would allow this situation to arise, though. What are you waiting for ordering those servers right now, while Amazon is still working?

If you require hundreds of physical servers, it's basically guaranteed that on the long term it would be cheaper to host them yourself than let Amazon do the job, with the risks that that entails.

It's fine to take this kind of risk while you're not sure if you're going to operate long term at all, but once that's established and if you're not a small shop, depending absolutely on one company is unforgivable.

Because I am developer and I have experience with different technology and with different kind of users, no I would not try to get the largest number of users.

For example a few years ago KDE Plasma had a maintainer in charge with a big ego(yeah, KDE has some people like this not only the other DE), users wanted an option to disable a thing on desktop (the cashew https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/kde-kills-desktop-toolbo...) .We had patches but (similar to GNOME devs) the maintainer ego was too big and it took years for normality to happen.
