This metric is predicated on the assumption that chips must be manufactured by printing transistors on 2D silicon. I'm sure when 3d silicon printing becomes possible we will have to generalize Moore's law to 3D.
They probably peer into Google at the local IX/Data centre. Google traffic will therefore take a different path which isn’t suffering the current outage.
Yes, and you can get accounting companies which will do it for you and take responsibility for it(for a fee). So if they get it wrong, they are on the hook, not you. Well, it is on you, but it's on them to put it right.

All three of them, actually.

Now given that UNIX and POSIX clones aren't going away anytime soon, it would be interesting that WG14 actually cared to have papers to improve C's current lack of safety.

When the President of the US says that masks are fake or a hoax

It wasn’t just the president who said that, it was also the medical establishment a few months ago. They told people not to wear masks because they were afraid of shortages that would affect hospital supplies. They lied to the public rather than being honest about it. That sort of behaviour is extremely damaging to the public trust in experts.

I see a lot of ads for NordVPN, but you should know they're not necessarily reliable. Just look for NordVPN on hacker news search: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... (see e.g. the second hit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21664692 covering up security issues, using your connection to proxy other people's traffic, a related company does data mining...). The only VPN that seemed to fit the bill when I looked for one about a year ago was ProtonVPN, but I certainly didn't manage to look at every VPN on the planet and I'm just a random internet stranger so... take that with a grain of salt.

Massive reconvergence event in their network, causing edge router bgp sessions to bounce (due to cpu). Right now all their big peers are shutting down sessions with them to give level3s network the ability to reconverge. Prefixes announced to 3356 are frozen on their route reflectors and not getting withdrawn.

Edit: if you are a Level3 customer shut your sessions down to them.
tl;dr One of the large Internet backbone providers (formerly known as Level3, but now known as CenturyLink usually) that many ISPs use is down. Expect issues connecting to portions of the Internet.

Usually the Internet is a bit more resilient to these kinds of things, but there are complicating factors with this outage making it worse.

Expect it to mostly be resolved today. These things have happened a bit more frequently, but generally average up to a couple times a year historically.

Interesting. How would connection issues cause them to lose? Was it a timed round?
Yeah, about that... The US isn't the only country discovering new drugs and there are a lot of other countries with universal healthcare.

A more reasonable observer would say that:

A) The US has a broken healthcare system

B) The US is getting fleeced by drug companies

I highly doubt that the US drug companies are selling their drugs at cost, even in countries with universal healthcare.
This was discussed to death on the kernel mailing lists, you should go read them.

Used level3 IP for a long time professionally with limited issues, ceratainly not on the list of worst ISPs.

Also used a company that over the years has gone from Genesis, GlobalCrossing, Vyvx, Level3 and now of course Level 3 is CenturyLink, which has been fine.

> Not a network engineer, but based on the comments there it looks like it's a BGP blackhole incident, possibly reminiscent of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_7007_incident in 1997.

As you aren’t a network engineer, I can understand making that leap based on the context, but no, this is nothing like the AS7007 event.

The “black hole” in this case is due to networks pulling their routes via AS3356 to try and avoid their outage, but when they do, CenturyLink is still announcing those routes and as such those networks blackhole.
Well, it is possible to run Emacs in batch mode from the command line. Therefore you could have someone create the files as documentation, with instructions on how to run them as a single command.

I haven't tried this specifically with org-babel, and as other commenters in the thread state, Terraform/Ansible may not lend themselves to org-babel quite so easily, but it's certainly possible. Although maybe not worth the effort unless you really push hard for a team to document their infrastructure code in this way.

I would look at this as something where the interests of the society or species as a whole diverge from the interests of individuals.

It may be quite reasonable for someone to prefer a more dynamic society and social structures caused by an average life span of 50 years, while at the same time preferring themselves and their loved ones to live for 100+ years on average. The question of "do you want to live much longer" is not the same as "do you want everyone to live much longer"; accepting that death and "forced turnover" has some positive role in how societies function (e.g. that you can't have eternal dictators because, in the worst case, eventually they die of old age) is compatible with still wanting death to be something that happens only to someone else whom you don't know or don't like. It's hypocritical but realistic - there's no reason to assume that longevity advances will be distributed to be evenly available.

So it's not a BGP blackhole incident then?

Originality is great and all but if there’s already a known, tried and tested approach, and you can’t see a way to significantly improve it, you should just use il the known approach and save your ingenuity for problems that aren’t yet satisfactorily solved.
Until I read the comments to TFA I had no idea how passionately people get their knickers in a twist over case-insensitivity of filenames.

Very interesting feature, of course.
Not all BGP blackholes are the same. The AS7007 incident from over twenty years ago is an entirely different cause, and thus unrelated.
BEVs are also now available at over 360-400 mile range.
And the 2021 model year Lucid Air has an estimated EPA range of over 500 miles.

So I disagree. Electric infrastructure is FAR more plentiful, and fundamentally so because we already have an electric grid but not a hydrogen grid. On-site production of hydrogen is very expensive and less efficient than centralized production, but central production has significant distribution costs. To get the 5 minute refuel time requires cryogenic cooling of hydrogen, which itself requires energy (continuously to keep it cool and ready). The 5 minute charge time is a best case, too, because it typically takes time to cool the hydrogen. So the first user may experience 5 minute refueling, but the next user has 15-20 minute refuel time. And because the refueling stations are so expensive and because workplace and home and destination refueling are not feasible, there end up being lines for the rare refueling stations, so practical refueling times can be (and often are) much higher. Not only that, but many hydrogen refueling stations only refuel up to half capacity, 5000psi instead of 10,000psi.

Another issue is that typically, hydrogen is delivered and not produced on-site. There is a limited amount of hydrogen available at any one time, therefore, and hydrogen fuel stations can and do run out. (I checked, and typical hydrogen fueling stations in California have around 50-200kg of hydrogen available at any one time, and each kg gets about 62 miles in the Mirai, so maybe equivalent to 70-300 gallons of gasoline... compared to about 10,000-30,000 gallons of capacity at a typical gas station, two orders of magnitude greater capacity and able to be refueled by one or two trucks which can also carry over an order of magnitude more gasoline than the gasoline-equivalent hydrogen in a hydrogen delivery truck.)

Even without home charging, it’s much more practical to have an electric vehicle than a hydrogen one because of the fundamentally cheaper electric charging infrastructure. For instance, you can charge your electric car in more places than just California!

Hydrogen is marketed as if it solves range anxiety when in reality it's far, far worse and electric cars are now accomplishing ranges equivalent to gas cars and so therefore can be recharged in a similar manner as to a gas car even without initiatives to make home, work, and destination charging more ubiquitous than it already is.

That's an ansible task to do something, but it's not the task solved in the article, or in any of the other linked examples.

Things that you haven't done before are harder than things you do all the time, and I would've reckoned trying to do them in ansible is much harder than doing it interactively, but I'd be interested in learning.

If I find an article like this[1], how do you translate it into the artefact I would want to keep in source control? In org-babel it's this[2], so what would that look like in ansible?

[1]: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-...

[2]: http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/linux-iptables.org....

Once you've done it and you've documented it, I can see how you might translate that into ansible (or chef or whatever), but that's a different thing.
There are plenty of elite schools outside the Ivy League which do not discriminate against Asian students. The aforementioned Berkeley, for example, had only 21% incoming white freshmen in 2019 but 17% incoming Chinese freshmen [1]. This is particularly striking given that only 1.3% of US residents are Chinese-Americans [2]. You’ll find a similar story for the representation of other Asian and south Asian freshmen at Berkeley.

> Alongside flooding from rivers, Jakarta is also sinking about 5 to 10 centimeters each year and up to 20 centimeters in northern Jakarta mainland. From 2000 to 2050, the potential coastal flood extent is estimated to increase by 110.5 km2 due to both land subsidence and sea level rise.[44] Land subsidence in Jakarta is mainly caused by the overuse of groundwater.[45] At the same time, the groundwater has lost its capacity to recharge due to the lack of watershed areas and overpopulation in the capital. Without any groundwater regulation in place, buildings in Jakarta are drawing water from the ground at an unprecedented rate. For households, especially those at the bottom of the economic pyramid, access to piped water is considered a luxury. Not only must the customer pay for the tariff, which is higher than other Indonesian cities,[46] the installment fees often burden the poor households to connect to the tap.

> In addition, residents consider piped water (and to some extent groundwater) quality in Jakarta to be of poor quality, thus explaining why only 28 percent of Jakarta households drink piped water and groundwater compared to 95 percent in 2000.[47] It is important to note that apart from drinking, people in Jakarta still use groundwater, and to some extent piped water and wended water.[48] Such hydrological behaviour has led to the overuse of groundwater, thus contributing to the land subsidence.

That 28 percent seems concerning. Can someone explain more?
I've had the opposite experience: completely useless due to poor integrations. Example: "Send a slack to Mary". Fail. "Read my most recent text message", fail. Even Hangouts is badly integrated, if at all.

I think the problem is, as always, a combination of business goals.

First, I suspect they don't want to help apps they haven't made a cross marketing deal with, like Slack. They'll install the app but won't work with it. Eg, "Play Tool on Spotify" works fine.

Second, Google's internal novelty-chasing merit system doesn't reward a coherent customer experience. You'd think Hangouts (or whatever chat is called this week) would be seamless after 5 years, but it's like they never met.

It would be interesting to take the idea in some of these comments and turn out some Ansible or Terraform code from literate org-babel documents. Kind of a 2020 DevOps take on the linked article.

Most of my org-babel stuff is running AWS commands and collating the results into tables for more documentation. I write my Terraform code outside of org-babel.
I don't like this argument, it has a singularly at age zero.

The visualisation sidesteps the problem by starting at year one. You can also add arbitrary constants or other tweaks, but then the idea lose its elegance and you can make it say anything you want.

What I take from that: It is a BGP blackhole incident.
From where I am (mid-altantic US) Google site are completely down (google.com, youtube)
I don't normally see multi paths for a given IP, but that aside it's bouncing through far more than I'd expect. That said, it's rare I look at traceroutes across the continental U.S, maybe that many layer 3 hops are normal, maybe routes change constantly.

HN has dropped off completely from work - I see the route advertised from Level 3 (3356 21581 21581) and from Telia and onto Cogent (1299 174 21581 21581). Telia is longer, so traffic goes into to Level3 at Docklands via our 20G peer to London15, but seems to get no further.

Heading to Tata in India, route out is via same peer to level3, then onto the London, Marseile, and then peers with Tata in Marseille, working fine.

My gut feeling is a core problem in Level3's continental US network rather than something more global.

Solving the halting problem means being able to tell, for ANY Turing machine and ANY input, whether it will halt. I know of absolutely nothing that would make us believe humanity or any individual human can do this.

If there is a single Turing machine for which there is no human that can tell whether it will halt, the conjecture that human reasoning is not more powerful than Turing machines is still not disproven.

Also, if you were right that humans can do things that Turing machines can't, it would be an interesting excersise to try to find that example of super-Turing human reasoning and try to see why it can't be encoded as a Turing machine. No one has successfully done this yet, so there is no reason to believe that it is possible.

I just finished reading Mitchell Waldrop's book The Dream Machines which is largely about J.C.R. Licklider and it has a lot of stories about the things Metcalfe is talking about during the 60's and 70's and into the 80's. It's a long, detailed book and I recommend it.

After finishing the book it made me feel like progress has slowed tremendously. Look at the changes from 1960 to 1970 or from 1970 to 1980 and compare that to 2010 to 2020. The last decade produced lots of incremental improvements but where are the giant technological shifts?

I was born in 1970 and if I look back over my life, the giant change was going from a non-networked world to a networked world. I think it's similar to how my grand parents could remember the world before and after commercial flight or how my great-grandmother remembered the arrival of automobiles.

I wonder what it is my kids will point to 40 years from now. A colony on the moon or Mars maybe?

Because race is not a biological trait. Age and gender cause reliable differences in how people behave and respond to stimuli. Race is a made up social class system. while ethnicity is biological, it is up to individuals to adhere to ethnic culutural norms that can be used to predict how they respond to ads. In other words, there are no black hormones or organs/parts of brain that develop only on people of specific ethnicities.

But all of that aside, even age and gender should not be used unless that information was explicitly shared by the user to be used for targeted advertising against them.

If aging can't be stopped, then it's appropriate to accept your mortality and not be in denial.

But if aging can be stopped, then it's appropriate to fight against your mortality and not accept it.

Accepting your mortality has always been the correct answer because (and only because) we always have been inevitably mortal, and denial about mortality has been bad because (and only because) it's detached from reality. However, once the reality changes and it becomes plausible for the people living at that time (perhaps this time has already come for people who are still young? who knows) to become effectively immortal, then refusing to accept mortality stops being denial and becomes a healthy attitude.
