Years ago I knew someone who worked for the local waterworks and asked what they do to prevent the water supply from being poisoned. He said while they do test on a regular basis, the real security is in the dilution factor as you'd need a really large quantity of any poison to effectively contaminate a reservoir. A biological contaminate that reproduces would be an easier attack but I'm guessing that's where the frequent testing comes in to catch it before it gets to a deadly concentration.
The idea behind the SB strategy is that the small U lock prevents the bike from being ridden. So if you can cut just the cable you need a way to transport it somewhere else other than by riding or ghost riding it. "Rucksack Rupert" is not going to carry off the bike on his back and it is unlikely he would add in the risk of a vehicle with recordable plates without upgrading to an angle grinder.

So I think that the article is failing to entirely understand the threat model in this particular case (or simply disagrees with it).

Hi, I’m Elad and I do systems architecture, engineering, and DevOps.
I mostly work in distributed bare metal and cloud environments and have extensive experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Apache Libcloud.

I enjoy building tools in Python and Bash.
I build platform agnostic, self-healing Linux stacks to keep you and your infrastructure flexible.

I am set up for remote work (and have been working full or part time remote for a while now).

Outside of Canada? No problem - I have a consulting business set up and ready to go.

Drop me a line and let's see how I can help you take your business to the next level.

This is one of the things I still miss about BeOS. On late 90s hardware, the OS wasn't quite hard real-time like QNX but the worst-latency latency was much better than Windows 10 or MacOS on the latest hardware, even in the presence of heavy resource contention — I remember simultaneously surfing the web, downloading video from a camcorder with a Firewire interface which did not buffer, and compiling Mozilla. The UI latency didn't change at all, and the DV transfer didn't drop a packet — everything else got throttled back as necessary, of course, but that meant that, say, GCC took longer to run rather than impacting what I was doing in the foreground.

The problem with Truth Forces of the past, such as the venerated Inquisition, is that they just couldn't be everywhere at once. They could never completely stop people from saying things in private, or from running to safe havens. If only the governments of the time had had platforms as pervasive and automated as Facebook and Google! They could have fact-checked and shadow-banned content about the earth being round or moving around the sun, the earth being older than 6,000 years, species adapting over time, etc. The damage has already been done, but at least we have proper censorship in place now to bury any such misinformation that may occur in the future.

Quick feedback: I tried it for the first time, thinking to myself 'wow I really want to turn down the brightness on this darn monitor...its been bothering me for too long' and I didn't find the UX very easy to perform that immediate task. In fact, I have to say, just from quickly downloading this and trying to use it, I don't totally understand what it does...but I did figure out how to manually drop the settings to a more comfortable level, and I don't expect I'll be opening the software again except to manually turn it up and down (and each time I'll probably have to figure out how to go to that side page that is hard to get to)

Hope that made sense! Thanks for the software!!! :)
> If porting a binary to another CPU architecture is tough, how easy will it be to port a mind to a simulated simple physics?

It will be very difficult, but we shouldn’t underestimate what is possible decades from now. As an analogy, consider when the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) came out in the 1980s. Did anyone ever imagine it could be fully emulated in JavaScript in a browser [1]? Certainly not since those technologies hadn’t been invented yet.

Nice to see the registry is free for public images, but does anyone know where I can see pricing for private images? Is it still the same as the packages pricing[1], because 2 gigs seems incredibly low storage space when it comes to Docker images, right?

To me, the price to beat is the $0.04-$0.20 a month I pay for Google Container Registry (price depending on whether I remember to go back and delete older images or not). I'm guessing it's not going to get to that level of commodity priced, but I don't see this product being competitive without giving a heck of a lot more space for cheaper.

I don't really know what to tell you, to me it's clear that this book is basically "lessons I've learned from Haskell that can be applied to any language". I think if it were trying to answer the questions you ask, it would say so.

Do you have the same issues with SICP using Scheme?

Finally, since this is Hacker News, I'll appeal to authority with Paul Graham: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

You're probably right. My argument, however, was purely about separation of concerns: different language means different package manager (or namespace...).
In this case Nvidia said they're using Samsung's "8N" process.

Percona|REMOTE Americas region|Database Migration Specialist (Oracle to PostgreSQL)|full time|https://www.percona.com/about-percona/careers/database-migra...

As a Database Migration Specialist, your primary responsibility is the successful migration of large datasets from an Oracle database system to a comparable PostgreSQL RDBMS. You will execute "out of the box" solutions as you leverage the myriad technologies, methods and best practices in your arsenal.

The Oracle installations will range in both size and complexity. The migration operation itself may be simple or complex, requiring multiple steps over an extended span of time. The data-sets can be sized anywhere from several hundred gigabytes to many petabytes. The cluster's configuration will be variable and can be as simple as a standalone server or as complex as a multi-node cluster with automated failover between data centers with an uptime requirement of 4 9s.

Percona is a respected thought leader in the open-source community. We provide services and software for MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB to open source users globally.

Percona is remote-first and globally dispersed; we have 250 people in almost 40 countries. We offer a collaborative, highly-engaged culture where your ideas are welcome and your voice is heard.

Going to reshare a comment I made 3 days ago

Authenticity is dependent on the rules of social-media. You believe the information is authentic if you believe the rules of the game are being followed. These controversies are related to breakdowns in either the rules or in the quality of outcome that the rules are giving us. "Russian bots" are a rules issue, a state actor manipulating the 1-person-1-voice assumption of the system. Individual misinformation by conspiracy theorists, credulous or otherwise, are an outcome issue. They feed into each other and are difficult to disentangle.

I would argue 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 misinformation. As you say, this method reduces the overall authenticity of the platforms and counteracts the intent of the censorship, and thus you get game-rule collapse.

If somebody's playing a basketball game and one team is dominating the other, you don't solve it by having the refs take points away from one of the teams. You adjust the rules of the game to keep it competitive.
Presumably you're not a native English speaker. "will" here does not refer to the future, this is a subtle grammatical thing that I can't explain well, but it refers to presently existing games.
I think this is a long term investment that goes beyond engineer / language /etc. preferences.

It's a matter of abstraction 'stability'. There's a cost for each abstraction, so modeling without fully understanding what you try to model or something that changes wrt the abstraction model will yield incomplete abstractions, be hard to read, etc.

Many things are being remodeled over an over (incomplete, with bugs, etc.) when in fact they don't change much. These are good candidates for good abstractions. I don't think you'd want to do 3d graphics without a system that understand the algebraic aspects (e.g. orthogonality) behind rotations, translations, etc. Categories generalize this all the way so optimizations would be possible at a whole different level (makes me think about what Tensorflow enables).

I also think you only need one category (just like you only need one group / semigroup concept) for a model and it could be language agnostic.
Without competition from AMD, Intel had normalized quad core chips for $800 on the high end for over 10 years.
You don't need a TWR anywhere near 1.0. You need that to take off vertically, but if you are willing to jump out of a helicopter you can probably get away with TWRs closer to 0.35 to maintain level flight.

Firecracker and Kata containers are ways to run containers inside lightweight VMs that boot directly into the Kernel, they are not Linux distros in themselves. You are trying to compare apples to oranges. You could run Firecracker or Kata containers on top of something like Bottlerocket, however Bottlerocket is geared more towards the container-sandbox and isolation crowd while Kata/Firecracker is for those who think you can only get isolation using VMs.
3 years... long enough that any warranty will have expired. I’m starting to see why the manufacturers would do this.
I don't think they can compete on ecosystem. However they can win on not having a problem with fakes and actually handling all of the orders themselves instead of being a marketplace for third party sellers.
But if your mind and self is formed by and dependent on your body, how can you transfer it to a bodyless existence without losing that self?

The mind as an emergent property of the body is also not an established philosophical or scientific fact, and is quite dependent on positivism, which has plenty of issues.

It seems to me that at best, you’re creating a surface-level copy, but one inherently limited to contemporary scientific knowledge. Not to say that this isn’t interesting or useful, but it’s certainly not the same ‘self.’

> I've worked with people who effectively could never be fired and were so bad at their jobs they spread negativity with everyone they encountered.

Same, and my workplace doesn't even have a union.
> Any negotiation between a single employee and their employer is inherently unfair

wow! what a statement.

you are of course entirely wrong. you are generalising when in reality your statement is true only for some employees in some jobs.

i think the time for these kinds of statements died in the 80s. the more we progress thru time the less we need unions because of all the new wealth that is created via the internet.
We don't need some complicated cash transfer scheme -- land value tax will let the market solve this problem over time, and ensure that no economic rent inures to the landowner, who (as you rightfully mention) did nothing to create the value of a patch of Earth.
