There is two sides to this. The ISP basically becoming a monopoly (or duopoly in many cases). Your idea could have the effect of creating a third one. I think it would need to be something where all the ISPs have some sort of financial stake in making that company/gov org work correctly. That could however create more regulatory capture (which we already have).

The other side is the giant walled gardens these companies have created. To fix that would mean that each of the companies would have to want to be federated. I do not see that happening. These are the same companies that are heavily filtering everyone and they said the ISPs would do it. What is the point of having a 'freedom ISP' if the other end is not? We have to have the whole chain working.
Ok, they do have the best product..

For many websites it's perfectly acceptable to go down for a few hours (or however long it takes you to notice, spin up a new vm/server and restore a backup) should stuff go wrong, which is fairly unlikely if you're just running a few servers.

It's likely the additional overhead worrying about HA is not worth it, not to mention the real possibility of HA just not working properly in actual failure scenarios
I mean as adults this sounds silly but kids do better with that structure, it's why uniforms "work." I do all sorts of odd stuff as an adult to get into "work mode" and how I dress is part of it. And I do the same thing with pjs, they're a pavlovian trigger that it's time to go to bed.

Getting kids to do the same thing genuinely helps even if it's just "don't wear your bedtime clothes."
Just wait for the pendulum swing. Modernity has a real under appreciation for the value of the institutions that naturally arose within almost all human societies.

Sometimes the time for a thing has passed. Sometimes the genius of a thing is only appreciated in its absence.

Maybe modern marriage is mostly useless because people are quick to head for the exit, instead of feeling a sense of loyalty and responsibility to their partner. Without that, I agree, it’s not much of a partnership.
How have the children of these couples fared?
I have at least one visually impaired Twitter follower (there may be more that I'm unaware of). This is why I don't do clever things with Unicode characters or post those text-picture memes and always type in alt text for my images. I'd like to think that I would be sensitive enough to do so without having him in my followers list, but I suspect that if I'm honest with myself, I probably wouldn't so I'm thankful for his presence to remind me to keep things accessible.
> take responsibility for their own happiness

On the list of things that are impossible exists an entry around trying to make other people happy. Literally nobody else can make you happy - only you can make yourself happy.

> They are individuals with a private friendship, they are not a unit or a completion or extension of each other

I am friends with my spouse, but we are also a unit in the sense that we are capable of acting in different cooperative ways to accomplish a single goal whether that's on the macro level of managing finances or a micro level of handling an emergency like a kitchen fire.

I would agree we don't "complete" each other in that we're both complete human beings without the other one - but we do extend each other and broaden each other.

> The breakups happen almost invariably...

The happiness ownership problem is a critical one, but it's not the sole root cause. A common related issue in relationships that I see is when one person wants to be infantilized by the other who ends up playing "the adult" - and that's not functional for anyone involved.

Another critical problem is the inability to meaningful communicate - I once had a pair of friends breakup, only for both of them to complain to me that the other one was never interested in having sex...

But it's a fools errand to narrow down the causes of relationship failure to a finite list.
A minority of people account for the majority of divorces. Not that many people are doing it wrong.

I’d argue most reliable for the most people, however. Even if that’s only because many people already have the client installed and are accustomed to it. It’s not completely random that zoom is so popular.
The more I look into the history and tactics of modern policing the more this becomes apparent.

Police are willing to use broken machine learning technology because it “works for them” - they don’t necessarily care about accuracy they just want someone locked up.
1 known case from ~25m to me seems like reinfection is incredibly rare and not really something to worry about?

Or am I way off the mark here?
It is meant to be run in a VM. Spin it up, log in as root, and go to work. It keeps your pentest machine separate from your daily driver - which you want to do for a myriad of reasons, not least of which is keeping your personal computer off a network that is actively being attacked.
Unfortunately, the same incentives that keep us from both developing or government requiring/legislating that the underlying capabilities, i.e., video/audio conferencing, be interoperable (i.e., you can call people on GoToMeeting/Teams from Zoom, or vice versa); will also likely prevent them from putting out any good information on these events. Video conferencing is yet another example of a monopolist trying to take the whole market.

I realize that the old internet of distributed services and actual competition is likely something those who grew up in the facebook world will not even have a conceptual understanding of, but all of the monopolistic type centralization of services (everyone on Zoom, everyone buying from Amazon, everyone using Uber, everyone getting information through Google, etc.) is immensely dangerous, to a degree that simply cannot be overstated. Its digital, literal monoculture, where one event can have devastating cascading impacts.

In many ways the current virus situation is precisely that, a devastating impact due to a monoculture created and pursued by globalism, where diversity is destroyed and everyone is an equal and controlled human entity. The very crowd that is always demanding "diversity", is also the crowd destroying actual diversity by destroying differences and trying to turn us all into the same, equal thing.

The statistics about marriage failures are misleading. They are biased by the fact that people who divorce tend to have multiple marriages. People who are bad at being married make it look bad for everyone.

If you look at the statistics for first marriages the picture is less depressing. Also, the rates have been improving and people getting married today have much better odds.
I have a child starting kindergarten. 1/2 the class is attending in person M and Tu and the other 1/2 is via a chrome book and Google Meet. Wed all kids are attending via Google Meet (the classroom will be deep cleaned Wed). And then Th/Fr is like M/T, but the group that was in person is now at home and vice versa. Then they deep clean again on the weekend. (Their day is 6 hrs (less recess and lunch)).

Not only is it going to be challenging for the kindergarten kids to stay focused on their class via chrome book, the SAME teacher is managing the kids in the classroom and the kids online. The kindergarten teachers each have an assistant too (as they did before Covid-19) so that helps a bit.

I am fortunate my wife stays at home with the kids. I can't imagine what it will be like for parents of kindergartners who both work, or parents with special needs kids or parents who don't speak English. I am supportive of social distancing in these times. But its going to be tough on the kids.
$40k/year is admirable. Mine was at that level for many years than all of a sudden shot up in google rankings a few years ago.
I’m curious, are dedicated software assurance teams a thing in your research area? Or is quality left up to the primary researchers?
Not a professional project, but an academic phrase generator I wrote to poke fun at a teacher in 1996-ish that my teenage friends and I deemed pretentious is still up and running:

https://phrasegenerator.com/academic

Only the source words remain though - code was originally Cold Fusion I think, generated on the server; then ASP.NET & XML when everything cool had to be XML. Currently python / flask with the phrases generated in js.
Forget nanobots; I believe that a "clanking" self-replicating machine can be made from sources of wood and metal feedstock (and mechanical power). This could be the control unit.

My university uses Blackboard Collab, its a pretty solid solution imho and apparently integrates nicely into Moodle.
That's debatable. Perhaps not the most secure, but possibly the best quality and most reliable (to this point, at least). Depends how you define quality, but the ease of use and high quality video are perhaps the leading factor in their huge success.
"No support for NUMA, NUMA must be disabled." means you probably don't want to use this with a multi socket system. It looks like idle is enqueued when no tasks are active and (in the case where hardware threads > requested threads) for something where the task is always busy it'd stay on the current core (though that's not particularly unique to this scheduler).

Also worth noting "This scheduler is designed for desktop usage since it is about responsiveness. It may be not bad for servers.".
Last time I tried (fairly vanilla i3 laptop) it OpenIndiana worked well.
This is currently a soundness bug in libstd: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32670

(note: the bug was proposed to review by the libs team, but this review never happened, some prominent community members claim there that this is indeed a soundness bug, just one that might not be worth fixing, or would be really hard to fix, but that should be tracked as such).

To me it looks like one should just link the bug to the unsafe code guidelines, so that they can clarify the definition of soundness (and the limits of the rust abstract machine in which soundness is meaningful) to take this into account.

See the linked "mitosis crate" issue at the end for a similar issue.
Isn't this sort of loss at this scale usually justified, for "product" companies, by saying they'll either run into economies of scale or drive everyone else out of the market, thus becoming profitable eventually?

Not even considering if that rationale will work out for certain venture-backed companies that are more product-oriented, how on earth is this supposed to work out for a consulting company like Palantir that doesn't scale like SaaS & the likes?
Right, but it's clear that this philosophy is the inspiration for the distro:

- the ubuntu linux logo is 3 people holding hands

- their homegrown desktop manager is/was called "unity"

- GPL/FOSS sort of = 'a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity'

> How to take Smart Notes

I have read over 100 pages of the book but to be honest, I am disappointed with it. I learn best by examples, the book is failing short of examples on how to use Zettelkasten. My expectation was the book was going to walk me through the process of implementing Zettelkasten like a tutorial, but instead it keeps going back in circles, talking about why I should use Zettelkasten. I am about to finish the book but I still have a lot of questions.
Frankly, I disagree.

Stealing source code is a valuable enough goal, and doable cross platform with the file system APIs.

If exfiltrating source code was easy to detect, ssh secret keys are stored in consistent locations across machines and are comparatively small. Stealing these would be quite lucrative.
I'm not sure how those are comparable. Most people don't need extreme HA for their websites. It's totally fine if a standard webshop goes down from 2AM-3AM, or if a personal blog is down for a minute because an S3 VM crashed and needs to be rebooted.

Most websites are not Google or Amazon, and gain very little from more 9's past the initial 2~3, which is totally manageable on a single server. Why spend thousands setting up and managing distributed servers if going from 99.0% to 99.999% gains you hundreds? If you need more nines and stronger guarantees than that, absolutely, use distributed solutions, nobody is telling you otherwise.

Jepsen tests are valuable once you have decided to use a distributed solution. They showcase problems that would be extremely hard to track down in production settings but can cause serious problems there. If encountered in practice these problems can cause data corruption or other very strange bugs that would take days if not weeks to track down.

I wouldn't say that a system with failures in Jepsen tests is unusable, every system has bugs, but if a system has these problems on purpose (e.g. to make it look better on benchmarks) and there is no movement to fix these problems then I would definitely steer clear of that system.
FWIW, Ubuntu is a 'core value' of City Year, an Americorps organization:

And CY is the type of organization to trumpet its values early and often to its own participants (which I was in 2010-11).

Real world incremental complexity is very high. To say nothing about the lack of an ecosystem.

I fondly recall interviewing at one of the faang companies years ago, when they ran out of things to ask me, and the guy turned to me and said: "Let's talk about network coding". My response, "Why would anyone want to do that?", probably didn't help land me the job.
The graphics community has started an interesting initiative at this end: http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/

After a paper has been accepted, authors can submit a repository containing a script which automatically replicates results shown in the paper. After a reviewer confirms that the results were indeed replicable, the paper gets a small badge next to its title.

While there could certainly be improvements, I think it's a step in the right direction.
Nice intro but this could be complemented about some insight about the philosophy of Two-Factor authentication.

> an attacker could capture a password as it was being transmitted

I think this could be amended to rather point to the factors of auth: something you know, something you have, something you are. OTP could have also prevented social engineering attacks and phishing where only the password was phished.

Also for the conclusion I'm missing some info about U2F which seems to fix the problems with TOTP secrets described in the last paragraph.
Maybe implement authentification properly and store a refresh token that you can use to trigger auth on app load.
> We keep on hearing this is the year for linux desktop and it never comes. Sadly.

"The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed." The year of the Linux desktop was a decade ago, and it remains perfectly usable.
This isn't going to help anyone .... But the RISC OS operating system had the facility to go into archives as if they were directories at the operating system level in 1991. ZIP and a few others were supported out-of-the-box.

They weren't just read-only, you could write to files as well. Albeit slowly.

There was no process of "mounting" an archive such as a ZIP to a particular "mount point". You simply treated the ZIP as if it were a directory and accessed files inside it.

If modern operating systems had the same feature, this Tcl feature would be unnecessary.
Every production car is built down to a price, even expensive luxury cars with large margins. All car segments are extremely competitive and any efficiency you can gain over your competitors can be put into more features, higher quality, lower price, or more profit. Over-engineering isn't that much of a marketing point or Saab would still be around.

That said, mass produced electronics are cheap - even automotive grade ones. It wouldn't add that much to the BOM, it would be mostly design cost. I just can't see the justification without it being required by regulation.
Strike the word virtual and you've just described school. Sure, there are schools that are trying different classroom methods but broadly kindergarten is lectures, worksheets, nap, lunch, and recess. I think your point stands that there's not much innovation in the world of k-12 but I don't think Zoom is what actually matters here.

This stuff is hard, and so many classroom models fail that I'm not surprised that "replicate the one that works" is gaining traction.
Plenty of actual professional programmers can't manage this, how is it a fair standard to hold scientists to, when the code is just one of the many tools they're trying to use to get their real job done?

I think moving away from the cesspool of imported remote libraries that update at random times and can vanish off the internet without warning, would help a lot of both cases.

We are seeking a player-coach to lead the new product development of our product line, to mentor and guide our more junior team members, and to grow the hardware design group.

Like what some people said 5/100 on the page speed score is pretty bad. My site used to have this. It boiled down to two things that caused it.

1) I wasn't code splitting by page, and had a couple heavy dependencies (which made things worse)

2) I wasn't pre-rendering my create-react app via react-snap. Meaning during the CI build react-snap runs Puppeteer visits each page on the site, and generates ready-to-go html versions of each page.

Those two changes took me from a 7/100 to a 95+/100 in short order. Makes logical sense too. Now a days the site hovers at 85/100. But I don't have the time right now to reinvestigate it.

With the options at the time, I'm happy with my tech choices. If I had to start with React again today. I would do Next.JS with a static build output. Would save me a bunch of time scaffolding things.
How do we know this is the first reinfected? There’s been many reports of people testing negative several times after first getting it, then getting the virus again later
A note on folders: I think grouping is a good thing alongside linking notes. I like to combine both methods, but instead of sorting notes into folders, I tag them. For personal knowledge bases it's probably fine to "silo" everything, but I found it really useful to add tags to notes when collaborating on the same knowledge base with multiple contributors. That way I don't need to rely on someone elses judgement and can group them from my perspective without colliding with the author. So instead of having folder -> articles, I have article -> tags and an can query by tags.

Emvi [1] has a tag overview page to allow just that, in case you're interested. I'm using it alongside 7 other people, where 3-4 are actively contributing to it (writing).

Who says anything about statistical models?
Everything seems to be working normally to me.
>That said, no matter which way you skin it, if you increase complexity then you increase risk.

This isn't really true, for eg. if you add redundancy technically you increase the complexity but also reduce risk (point being complexity will also be introduced when making the system safer, simplification just makes analysing and screening for bugs more effective, but there are other risk factors)
In all my papers the results were produced on multiple days (spanning months), with multiple versions of the code, and they are computationally too expensive to reproduce with the final version of the code. I'm trying to keep track of all the used versions, but given that there is no automated framework for this (is there?) and research involves lots of experiments, it's never perfect. Given this context, any ideas how to do it better?
It staggers me, but losing this amount of money seems to have few negative impacts. Is it investor fomo saying "if others put in enough cash for them to stay afloat after losing $bajillion, they must know something I don't! Calling my trader"?

The question about healthcare, infrastructure, college, housing is a major one.

The explanation I’ve come up with is that they aren’t machine scalable problems and that the barrier to entry is so high that existing incumbents have little incentive to do “more with less $” when due to increased demand they are racking in billions.

Matt Stroller’s BIG newsletter goes deep into the little monopolies and consolidation of markets by private equity.

There’s also insurance and loans that comes into play. You can charge obscene amounts of money when it’s other people’s money. In a complex system, accountability is hard, so it’s ripe for rent seeking and corruption by the few people who are the bottleneck.
I'm sorry, I completely misread that.

There were once systems where scripts with the shebang line would get run by the shell rather than the kernel, hence my confusion.
