It may not be just a cache, but please, it is not a database. A database should guarantee data consistency, integrity, and ideally availability. ACID + HA. Redis does not do these. It is fast because it doesn't worry about the niceties of concurrency models and isolation models and recovery models and agreement protocols. And you can use it as a database as a very large clothing retailer I know did as an online feature store. However, it crashed on black friday due to overload and there was a massive revenue shortage because the ML models that should have been using it to retrieve features were going bananas. It was a case of misuse by said company - it should not be used for mission critical HA persistent data infra, IMHO.
How do you become an advisor in field XYZ?

Simple answer - become a domain expert in the topic by Blogging, Contributing to Open source Projects and .... ah hell, just do a HN search (https://hn.algolia.com/?q=PG) and wade through the treasure trove of info. Not to say that he is an all knowing god or anything but once you have worked your way through something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2012339 you will have a greater understanding of the question you have asked. Personal opinion only.

Hmm. I think pacing is an issue there, but on the other hand I'm someone who finds most youtube content too slow but enjoys Leone.

Your description of intentional is interesting there. I guess the opposite isn't "unintentional" but "adhoc" or "reality"?

The problem may be just political awareness; the more attention you pay to that kind of thing the more alarmed you get, and that may well be a reasonable response.
Great work, very impressive and creative project.

Also Cyberpunk Red, a new 4th Edition was supposed to come out this year, but obviously got delayed by COVID just as the videogame did. It's edition name of "Red" a direct homage to CD Projekt Red and includes some collaborative efforts with the videogame on the combined and updated timeline. (Cyberpunk Red will be set in 2045, set up some plots that directly effect the videogame's 2077, and also retcon some of the pieces of 3rd Edition's timeline that they didn't think should carry forward and are now alternate future history to alternate future history.)

I started in BASIC in the 80s. The olden days sucked!

- No good manuals! I lived in the sticks and had little access to the library. All I could do was flip through the GW-BASIC reference book. It sucked!

- Teaches bad habits. It took me years before I realized I was a bad programmer and was doing everything wrong!

- Not as powerful as a modern system. Modern stuff lets you easily sprites on the screen. That's 99.9% of what kids want to do! You can do a lot more, a lot more quickly with modern educational languages.

There are still big issues with distribution, but all things equal, it's way better to be a kid learning a modern language today than a kid learning BASIC in the 80s.

The issue is what is classified as free speech? Perjury for example might not seem like a free speech issue, but under the most extreme versions it must be allowed.

As such it’s common for groups to carve out what the want limited as simply not qualifying as speech. Aka we can ban spam because we are banning the medium and not the message. This then gets into issues like should flag burning be allowed which blur the line between message and medium. Thus simply saying you support free speech is a rather meaningless statement. People need to look at the specifics on what each group considers speech etc.
As SpaceX (and Tesla) have shown, sometimes in order to make real progress you need to restart things from zero. Tech debt piles up and political lines become entrenched to the point where nothing but marginal change can be made. Nationalizing the company would basically make this impossible.

And maybe putting a real engineer in charge of a freaking engineering company wouldn't be a bad first step either...
Skunk Works is a fascinating book. They overcame some difficult challenges building the SR-71. There are some interesting parallels to software development in the way they ran skunkworks. Insisting that the engineers that designed things had to be physically close to the people building them.

> It is the tech people who don't.

It is _their clients_ who don't, not just tech people. I hired lawyers a few times. IMO their redline and email workflow is error-prone craziness that could use improvement. That said, I'm a "tech" person, so I might be biased.
If it was established that they'd grow their revenues, then why was it still outperforming other asset classes by this much? Does Wall street have lacking models of how tech businesses grow? Or are people too risk averse to invest into tech?

What I don't get either is why quarterly reports in the current situation are so important for stock value in the current market climate, as in why did tech stocks soar so much after quarterly reports got announced? These numbers aren't showing anything other than how the companies perform in the current, corona-affected, economy and are not representative of how it's going to look like in a post corona world.
I'm claiming the high death toll u seem to think of when talking of Flu fatalities ain't that high.

And I provided some evidence for it.

I'm hoping people will not underestimate how serious Covid19 is by drawing parallels to THE NUMBER of yearly Flu fatalities, coz the number of flu fatalities are much less compared to what gets reported every year.

Thts what the SciAm link I provided talks about.

Societies operated WITH a lot of Caution and Precautions in place before the vaccines.
They still operate with caution for flu DESPITE vaccines as they do not provide complete immunity.

Look at how people celebrate elimination of Wild polio in Africa! It came AFTER several decades of human suffering and wide ranging precautions.

And the level of caution changes depending on the local medical infrastructure, dynamics of the spread, demographics, and the specific knowledge we have about the disease in question.

I also claimed that WE HAVE SOME IDEA on how to deal with blood clotting wen it comes to Flu. Your link itself shows that out right "Emperic Anticoagulation decreases VTE"

But we are not there yet, when it comes to Covid19.

We have people dying from strokes AFTER they were thought to have recovered from Covid. And these aren't necessarily 'edge cases' that arise from the tail end of large numbers of patients during a pandemic.

These are most likely due to absence of knowledge,data and insights into managing a novel disease. Just read through the NYTimes article. It's very detailed and specific about how we are falling short NOW in dealing with strokes and clots.

Which most likely is also true when it comes to predicting and managing long-term effects due to Covid, as indicated by these experiences of Covid 'long haulers'

I think this is the point. It's not going to work out here either, but it will still be proclaimed.
Right, and that may have consequences for whether a particular distro packages you or whether the OSI shines on you, but those are just part of the trade-off; a license like this is still a perfectly valid choice for a given endeavour.
It's interesting you bring up Cyberpunk 2077, probably the most hotly anticipated work in the genre, and this guy has nothing positive to say about it at all.

Cyberpunk 2077 is designed for 12 year olds, they are the #1 customer of these single player console games. They will not have read any Gibson by that point (maybe Hunger Games). If you think about what has been successful with that audience, looking at Grand Theft Auto for example, it has to feel like parents wouldn't like it. And it has little to do with genre, because there is no genre to GTA. CD Projekt Red was incredibly clever with a particular piece of art it marketed which specifically invoked something in the zeitgeist that makes parents angry and uncomfortable in 2019-2020.

This is what GTA did, what South Park did, Modern Warfare, and long before that, Ren and Stimpy did, what Spongebob did, etc. - do something that pisses off parents. When making a product for 12 year old boys, which is what these books and games are, pissing off parents such an integral part of the product's success. Gibson pissed off parents then, he just doesn't really piss them off now. Anything commie or anti-authoritarian in that period was anti-parent. It just goes to show that the article is way off the mark when it comes to understanding what is actually novel in contemporary work, and how tough it is that kids, especially boys, don't read anymore.

It's easy to blame all the flaws of human character on its most highly available and proximate expression which is speech. There is violence, anger, hatred, envy, all kinds of evils in the world, the world isn't perfect, man isn't perfect, and trying to control others' thoughts isn't going to change that. That would actually be regressing several hundreds years back to the Dark Ages. If your assumption is that banning free speech would improve things, I would say that is the idealistic fantasy. There's no proof that it would work or wouldn't have the same unintended consequences as before. The more these platforms push back against their users, the more they turn the public against them, the more opportunities they create to be disrupted. In a recent poll 3 out of 4 Americans said they were willing to die for free speech.
Manufacturing consent online is dependent on the rules of the game. Russian-bot-syndrome is a fraud issue, in this case a state actor manipulating the 1-person-1-voice assumption of the game. If we're making a marketplace metaphor, then this market is being tilted toward actors with the resources to pay for bots, workers, or influencers. It's not like it's limited to Russia; Bloomberg was somewhat showy during the primary about paying people to tweet for him, and it's safe to assume any other well-resourced actor with an interest in manufacturing consent is doing the same thing.

The censorship debate is an indicator of game-rule collapse in social media. The platforms are reaching for top down control because they can't cook up a better way to reduce fraud and (let's call it) low-quality behavior. Ironically this method reduces the overall authenticity of the platforms and counteracts the intent of the censorship, and thus you get game-rule collapse.
If you're into RF as a hobby or want to use RF gear in your projects, it's the cheapest, easiest, and most straightforward path to getting access to a whole bunch of radio spectrum and the ability to use a whole bunch of power.

With a basic license you can run a 250W transmitter. With an advanced license you can run a 1kW transmitter. You have access to allocations pretty much across the entire spectrum[1]:

* LF: ~136kHz
* MF: ~476kHz, 1.8-2MHz
* HF: 3.5MHz-4.0MHz, 7.0-7.3MHz, 10.1-10.15MHz, 14.0-14.35MHz, 18.068-18.168MHz, 21-21.45MHz, 24.89-24.99MHz, 28.0-29.7MHz
* VHF: 50-54MHz, 144-148MHz, 219-220MHz, 222-225MHz
* UHF: 420-450MHz, 902-928MHz, 1240-1300MHz, 2300-2310MHz, 2390-2450MHz
* SHF: 3.3-3.5GHz, 5.650-5.925GHz, 10.0-10.5GHz, 24.0-24.25GHz
* EHF: 47.0-47.2GHz, 75.5-81.0GHz, 122.5-123.0GHz, 134-141GHz, 241-250GHz

An amateur radio license (depending on your locale, specific class may be required) allows you to build and operate your own equipment without any required pre-approval by the FCC or whatever your equivalent is. The license is attached to you personally. You can buy, build, or cobble together any equipment you'd like and operate it legally and take personal responsibility for ensuring you're operating within your assigned bands/modes/etc.

It's basically an experimenter's license for radio.

You can use it to talk to some old guys, participate in emergency preparedness stuff, work communications as a public service for events... but at it's core it's really just a license to use a huge chunk of radio spectrum.

> Pretty much all the subs like the the_donald, republicans, conservative, asktrumpsupporters that are against the big tech censorship will censor (ban) you for just showing their hypocrisy.

This is like saying:

> Pretty much all the discussion groups that are against government censorship will censor you (throw you out) just for showing their hypocrisy.

It's not hypocritical to moderate one forum, on a platform where everyone can create his own forum, while also demanding that the platform itself doesn't censor discussions, anymore then it's hypocritical to moderate a discussion group, while also demanding that the government doesn't censor your discussions.

Moderation happens at the lowest level possible. Any content removal at a higher level is censorship.

I understand that this is annoying. The reason we have it that way is cause we are experimenting with pricing on a per user basis - it's like the "contact us" pricing plan for other SaaS products.

Soon, we plan on standardising pricing based on our pricing experiments. Thanks for the feedback!
You're a developer I'm assuming. You think the CDC is capable of developing a model that could predict this? As a developer I don't have much confidence for something like that. Netflix still can't recommend me a movie correctly with millions upon million data points and spending millions of dollars on it.

This is not about false statements. Is about lotta money.

The body, image and look of famous people is their brand. Is why actress are generously paid to sell parfums, anti-age potions and lipstick and is the reason why lots of families take their children to cinema.

Linking this image to porn (or racism, or anything nasty) in the previous week to a expensive film's premiere can damage seriously their investment and turn an innocent people into poison for box office

In the same way, a deep fake porn of a candidate can destroy the lucrative source of business that represents being elected or not.

My bet is that would soon be detected as a major treat for a lot of huge companies and will be crushed, nuked and drown in a lawyers tide before 24h from the release.

The fact that people are being evicted after not using Zoom https://www.fsf.org/bulletin/2020/spring/trial-by-proprietar... is insane.

The industrial revolution and all of its consequences may not have been exclusively a disaster for the human race, and I personally don’t share Bill Joy’s fears of mass extinction https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2/, but proprietary software can cause serious problems for members of the human race and they should have a right to choose not to “use” it. Doesn’t the US Constitution support the Amish’s right to abstain from the power grid, etc.?

The Federal Source Code Policy should revert from requiring 20% of software written with forcibly extracted public money to be free to 100% as it was when open for public comment.

Any software that the public is forced to use, fund, or through network effects promote, the public should be able to audit and control. Windows is explicitly banned from the ISS. The lowly common people down here deserve a fraction of that privilege.
Oof. We had one of these growing up, so I know about them. Just didn't remember it when I replied.

Engage in whatever wordplay you want: reddit is a website built on community content and interaction. That there are user-created communities within the larger community does not turn it into some sort of "infrastructure" of internet expression. The infrastructure to build one's own site, and communities that go with it, are and should continue to be made available to all regardless of viewpoint. Given Voat's existence and the fact that people do use it, I do not see a problem.
Then that would be part of essential learning experience (not being locked in to arbitrary applications) —- as important as reading and math.

If Zoom goes down, so long as there’s some other service, the teacher can send out URLs to the class via emails, and people should be able to get setup quite easily, and help each other out. There will be some corner cases which will involves a bit more of a struggle, but it should be relatively smooth (easier than the first time around).

Wired? - I did not expect this to be article to be good, and it turns out to be very worthwhile. The article is by Andrew Gelman, an authority on statistical modeling, and Jessica Hullman, an authority on statistical visualization. In my words, they make the point that a data visualization is a kind of a model, and as such the foremost job of the viz is to frame a judgment (a specific comparison) by the viewer.

In their words: "This connects back to our idea of graphs as comparisons. The viewing, and hence the construction, of any graph is enhanced by an understanding of the comparison that it represents. As scientists, we can make better graphs if we go beyond the idea of “displaying data” to consider the model we’d like to present, including the reference to which we want the data to be implicitly compared. As consumers of scientific information, we can better read an infographic by being aware that its function is to tell a story through comparisons, which unfold through our own active participation."
How do you get out of the dungeon?
It's various minor things. Like PADDs being proper LCARS tablets with a bit more space for content, smaller bevel[0] and even portrait mode[1]. Or the experiments with circular (radial) elements on display, which arguably are now decorative, but still they fit in, so are a good starting point for further exploration.

Or, and I can't find a screenshot of it now, that one tiny joke that made me almost spit out my tea. A scene on the bridge, the captain talking to someone over the viewscreen; she makes a gesture to cut off audio, the tactical officer presses a button on his console, and a small icon of a crossed out speaker appears on said console. Immediately recognizable even for non-StarTrek audience, and still they made it fit the style.
