That's entirely on purpose. Most of such "outrageous" things, including some hot political topics, wouldn't look nearly as outrageous if it were compared against the baseline. So necessary information is not included. Actually informing people "weakens the story".

cLabs | San Francisco, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Remote | Hiring Security Engineers, Data Engineers, Dev-Rel Engineers, Product Managers, Cryptographers, SRE/Infra and Mobile Engineers | All Levels | FULLTIME, ONSITE, REMOTE, INTERNS, VISA | https://celo.org

cLabs is one of a number of companies working on Celo, an open-source permissionless platform that makes financial tools accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Using a novel decentralized PKI, Celo lets you send cryptocurrency to phone numbers in a fully decentralized way. Additionally, Celo uses stable-value tokens pegged to fiat currencies, like the US Dollar, to minimize volatility, and crucially allows transaction fees to be paid with these tokens. To make sure that the platform is scalable and fast enough for day-to-day use, Celo uses a new Proof-of-Stake protocol with fast block times and one block finality. Further, it uses SNARK-based proofs to allow light clients to sync with the chain near instantly. The protocol is now live (run by hundreds of entities) and we are now working with organizations such as GiveDirectly on an open-source social payments app (Valora) that looks and feels like Venmo, yet is fully decentralized. Additionally, Coinbase Pro listed Celo today.

Investors: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Polychain, General Catalyst, Coinbase, Reid Hoffman and Jack Dorsey, among others.

I don’t believe that the value of memorabilia is ultimately driven by some sort of pyramid scheme, as would be implied if the only value to a collector is what they could sell it for.

I would argue that the value is ultimately driven by people who want to own an item at a given price. People who are Elvis fans may want to buy an item and hold it forever, because of the nostalgia value for them.

MS Window's presence in the market made PCs true commodities and drove down the price for home and office computers in a way none of their contemporary competitors would have achieved.

Most of their competitors were tied to hardware, and received a lot of their revenue and profit from the combination of hardware and software sales. MS only needed to sell the software, and let HP, Dell, Gateway, and others compete on hardware prices. This probably put more computers out there (within that time span) than would have been achieved without them.

In general, it's not a good idea to talk poorly about your employer in public if you want to keep your job; I've heard of at least a couple cases where someone was fired for "mouthing-off" to their spouse in a public place like a grocery store.
In the private sector, with multiple employers, perhaps (though very few offer pensions any more). In the public sector, you would essentially be getting paid twice and multiple pensions by the same employer (the taxpayer).
Correct, in order to emulate a mind we might need to include that as well so that is in scope.
So you saw CoreOS and thought “Let’s re:invent that wheel”?
A used rocket launcher was found next to the tracks for the transit system in Atlanta a few years back. Don't know if they ever found out how it got there but it certainly gave some uneasiness that there might be someone around looking to blow up passing passenger rail cars.

Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer | Salesforce Engineering Team | Full Time and 6 month contract/CTH | Chicago, IL AND Remote | https://bit.ly/3lAvL1P

OppLoans is a Fintech company providing the tools people need to achieve a better financial future, and we are one of Chicago’s fastest-growing startups. We’ve made the Crain’s Business Chicago Fast 50 (#4 in 2019), the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (twice), and we’ve ranked in the top 10% of the Inc. 5000 five years in a row. Since 2015, we’ve grown from 23 employees to over 500 — and we’re adding even more in for the rest of 2020!

At Opploans, we run one one of the most complex Salesforce installs in Chicago, and we’re hiring experienced software engineers to join our Salesforce development team. Here are some highlights:
We use Github, CI/CD, and have a very large regression suite.
We use Sentry and Sumo Logic to automatically detect errors.

> (...) and elevates union leadership to a position of power over the workers as union reps

I don't understand your point. Do you believe that this so called risk of an elected representative getting more power than the people that elected him is overall worse than the people having absolutely no power or representation?

I mean, can you explain why in your view leaving an employee SOL is more desirable than ensuring he has some say?
Apologies for that. :(

I hope you'll give this a try. GHCR is based off an all new code stack. You'll notice that now you need to associate Containers and the repositories they come from instead of publishing "into repositories". Our new model has packages / containers published into orgs which will make other services simpler as elevate them as well.

I think you need to re-read that law yourself. Section 230 holds Internet platforms not liable for illegal or libelous speech because they aren't the publisher of that speech. If you read on it also says explicitly they can't be held accountable for:

"any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected"

Any Internet platform can moderate to their heart's content, even if it goes beyond the extent demanded by the law. There are no constitutional free speech protections on the Internet. The "publisher/platform" thing is pure horseshit spread by people who cry about "online censorship". Unfortunately that tactic seems to be working.
It might surprise you that most monitors out there, especially the cheap garbage ones from Amazon/Walmart that most consumers have in their homes, are connected via HDMI.
One problem is the obvious alternative other than target, Walmart, is far worse than Amazon on almost every measure. The heirs of Sam Walton and who have billions in walmart stock today support creationism, various republican causes and they really really hate unions, much more than Amazon. Being from the south I've seen many small towns decimated by a large Walmart being built on the side of town and then killing the small businesses in the center - this happened to my grandfather's town. He understood what was happening, he was also a walmart stock holder. I'm under no illusions that Amazon has done some of the same effect on local retail. Yet amazon doesn't support creation science.
I was referring to the pattern and scaling issue the parent described, which are largely overcome in mature implementations.

It's less about the deal, and more about MS following a pretty strict philosophy that if your software, the software you bought runs on OS version X, the only reason it may not run on version X+1 is a dumb bug in the software.

Also they kept at "computers accessible to everyone", and as much as they fought competition, I have to admit they did it.
The same happens whenever anything is discussed that would actually improve the lives of the very vast majority of Americans - healthcare improvements, UBI, tertiary education that isn't crippling debt, unions, better public transport, etc.

There are extremely rich and powerful people who will sink hundreds of billions of dollars into making sure those things don't change.

America is just so profitable the way it is.
dystopian?

democracy is a flawed system so politicians should expect pushbacks.
This is timely, considering that the antisatellite arms race seems to be heating up:

https://www.spacecom.mil/MEDIA/NEWS-ARTICLES/Article/2285098...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-satellite_weapon

We're insanely dependent upon satellite communications for much of the world, and they're really fragile. Even military applications aside, it's massively commercially useful to be able to push a button and disable a competitor's communications (or a whole nationful of competitors).
They even said it's the titan of this generation, but for a wider audience.

Whether the chip number is right is pretty irrelevant.
That's the thing - the livable wage is changing in San Francisco.

SF is seeing a steep reduction in cost-of-living, yet these extremely high salaries won't decrease accordingly.

Also, the herds of people moving out and companies shifting remote will mean lower revenue for the city, meaning these high salaries won't be fiscally sustainable.
About 4 months ago I picked up a 2060 Super for my ancient gaming desktop while I am waiting for the 3080 or 3090 to finally build a new gaming PC. Ideally I'd have a 4th gen Ryzen equivalent of the 3900X.

The main reason my 2012 build of a PC is holding up ok was PCIE 3.0 support, so for me PCIE 4.0 is a must. The only thing I ever upgraded was the GPU and HDD. Went from 670 -> 980 -> 2060 Super. The i7-3370k (OC to about 4.3Ghz) has held up ok. The 16GB DD3-1866Mhz is slow however. Switching from a 2TB 5200 RPM drive to a 2TB NVMe SSD (Samsung EVO 860) for which I had to get a riser card since the ASROCK z77 Extreme 4 doesn't have m.2 made a huge difference also. When I upgraded to the RTX 2060 Super I ran out of PCI 3.0 lanes, and as a result my SSD is running slower, but that's ok.

Suprisingly, I can play the new Microsoft Flight simulator just fine in 3440x1440 resolution on High Settings. Assassin's Creed Odyssey runs well in 1440p Ultra at ~60 FPS.
Russians Again Targeting Americans with Disinformation, Facebook Says
I think there is a fundamental paradox at the root of consciousness and thought: once we succeed in alleviating suffering by discarding the body, we are already in hell. What is the purpose of a mind without a body? To witness? To what ends? There's a reason that the lower brain is at the seat of the throne. Maybe we should focus more on cooperating and less on becoming a purposeless husk. If the string is too tight it breaks, if it is too loose it will not play.
Hence the need to strengthens social safety nets too. Universal health care removes the medical costs problem for individuals (I’m not weighing in on its societal cost here except to say that other countries manage it).

A UBI should cover the cost of housing and food, though it does not guarantee that you can live in a highly-sought after area without other income. That must be factored into employee compensation in the same way that it already is for desirable jobs today. It puts more pressure on cities to ensure that close, affordable housing exists for the lower-wage workers like retail and service workers who help make those cities desirable places to live. A job at a swanky downtown coffee shop with an hour commute becomes a lot less attractive if I can ditch that job and the transit costs without worrying about my basic survival. So the coffee shop has to increase pay or lose its employees and close up. Its downtown location and clientele will either absorb the price increase, or downtown will become a less competitive living space due to the loss of the business.

A UBI will not remove all of the reasons someone can’t pack up and leave if the area is too expensive, there are lots of human factors in play, but it will increase people’s ability to move elsewhere without having to fear for their very survival.
I'm confused, wouldn't FE be considered OEM?
> Low cost, available to everyone: the quality goes down as they need more capacity for less pay.

A partial solution to this is to simply shrink the spread of services the college/university offers. eg they could simply offer education and training.
We are not claiming they are entirely independent, quite the contrary. The mind is an emergent property of the body. Just like music is an emergent property of sound waves.

I remember these. The pronunciation of 'five' ("fuennef") alway stood out to me. Listening to the wav file of the voice it's there exactly as I remember it.

There were a lot of weird radio stations back in the day, plenty of them for espionage and command-and-control purposes. Sleeper agents were - and probably still are - a thing. Makes you wonder if there are still people lying in wait living normal lives waiting for the right signal to kill some head of state.
Hey do you have a temporal DB backing all of these queries? I was reading through and it looks like you might have some sort of Bi-Temporal DB backing your queries based on some of the samples I saw.
Thank you! I might try this on some other things too.

mpv is one tool I think handles a kind of similar thing nicely: it has a main config file for long term settings, but also allows you to use Q instead of q to quit and save state (eg. playback position, speed, volume, etc.) in .config/mpv/watchlater/hashofurl (a separate file for each URL you play).

htop could save the single-keypress-changeable settings in, say, .config/htop/viewstate and only keep the other stuff that’s buried in the setup menu in the htoprc

It's not that they can't figure out high density VR displays, it's that they're prohibitively expensive to produce. Display miniturisation is not a problem domain that a lot of tech is focused on, so progress is necessarily slower than the more profitable areas.

Thank you for saying this. It's always so strange to me that there are people obsessed with prolonging the inevitable, as if immortality itself could be an end-state.
It's a common curse. Lisp has no value for mundane business applications that need to massage some data and bolt a gui to print reports.

The thing is when you start attacking odd problems you can find solid solutions in 100LoC instead of brittle sandcastles made with 27 classes.

Fertility rate scales with poverty. Those earning middle-class wages or higher tend to have fewer kids, or none. Much is linked to education and access to contraceptives. People will have sex, period. Shaming people for having kids helps at nothing.

Revisionist delusional fantasy. In Western society people had far more children a couple of generations ago, regardless of wealth. The Church pressured this as well.
Did you even read the blog post? This is running Linux, and only the AWS software-components running on it are largely written in Rust. It is still Linux and the OS is not written in Rust, nor the container daemon and probably none of the non-AWS software packages.
So difference between this and Firecracker would be that the latter is boot-speed and overhead optimized, and this one is a bit heavier but more capable?

If choosing between this and say Kata Containers plus Firecracker, the latter would be more secure because of VM isolation but this would be more efficient because multiple pods could go in a single VM?

Is Bottlerocket secure enough to host multi-tenant workloads within the same VM?

I wonder how people could make such an argument if they have historical records of business owners rejecting more paying customers and spending more to put together duplicate infrastructure just because they felt that some paying customers had to be subjected to degraded levels of service just because.
