In the US we had to read the Odyssey. My feelings are mixed. The story is great, the characters are interesting, and knowing the Odyssey feels like a foundational part of western literature. I'm really glad that I am familiar with it.

That being said, the execution really isn't particularly fun to read IMO. There's a substantial amount of implicit assumptions about what you know about ancient Greece and not knowing it really detracts from the story even with footnotes. The pacing and timelines can be unexpectedly difficult to follow (it begins near the end, then jumps back, skips over years at a time, has some geographical shifts that aren't super intuitive, etc.). That's not a complaint against the creator. These decisions probably made complete sense in the context of the time. Turns out the Odyssey wasn't writing for English speaking audiences on the other side of the world in the year 2020. And I'm sure many people will enjoy the style in its specificities anyway.

I'd rather hear the story told by a modern storyteller than read a translation of the original work. I think you could enjoy the work more, AND come out with a better understanding of the ethos of setting.
The difference is that the military has a long history and culture of respecting the rules and not being outright defiant of civilian control whether or not they agree with them.

The military doesn’t have a powerful union that protects bad members. In fact, when Trump pardoned someone who was convicted by a military tribunal, the military brass was livid.

The previous two comments mentioned Europe, where "multiple fulltime jobs" is essentially unheard of.
When that happens, it's a military coup. Some people argue that the extent to which police can intimidate local government has almost reached the same level; there are all sorts of recent examples. e.g. Doxing a councilwoman after which her neighbour was raped in her home as a possible mistaken identity attack: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8498489/Oklahoma-ci...
CGP Grey is another animator. Looking at his Patreon, he's current at over $40k/month. Considering he's mentioned having a staff now, I'm sure that gets split between his entire project, but it still seems like it's significantly funded by supporters over ad revenue.
That effect would be much easier to fake with a digital filter than rendering the entire complicated scene from scratch, though. Adding noise and noise-smoothing is simple. So if that's your heuristic, then you're gonna be fooled by digital renders that just incorporate that simple to implement effect.
Nice to see a Belfast company here :)
As an unsolicited recommendation, if you _wanted_ to attempt to chase this down, you should look at using the Vertical Pod Autoscaler (https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/vertica...) in recommendation only mode in order to get a good idea of what services are actually using, and set new limits based on that.

It definitely won't be optimal, but should let you get to a place where you at least have some limits set.
DistroKid considering sharing playlist creator email addresses with all members
True. Things have gotten better, but for a few months nothing really happened at all, at least where I live. I don’t think that was a good time except for those kids that spend all their time playing videogames anyway, which would’ve included me when I was in school, but not most people.
> If they keep growing at 30-50% for the next 5 to 10 years, they'll grow into a valuation that might seem excessive today

Well, I mean, you could say this of practically any growing business. But that _very, very_ rarely actually happens.

Seems particularly dubious in this case; most of the Tesla bull numerology seems to take as an article of faith that both demand for cars will grow quite dramatically over the next decade, and (even more dubious) that the ASP for cars will grow dramatically over the next decade.
Russian interference covers at least 4 behaviors: manufactured consent online, hacking the dnc/rnc, hacking voting equipment, and the compromise of the president. All of those are serious, all of them are credible, and none of them can be passed off as “lies.”
A Bus Ride Turned into a Coronavirus Superspreader Event
simple, capitalism is where things are run by owners of capital.
Managementism is where the managers of companies run things because ownership has been diluted and ignored.

This idea is from a book by Frederick Lewis Allen.
"The Big Change", published 1952.
http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks05/0500881h.html

" With potential opposition melting away through the sales exit, the management is very much in the saddle--and in most of these larger companies it is virtually self-perpetuating. How else could things be run in, let us say, the American Telephone Company, which has over a million shareholders, no one of whom owns more than one-tenth of one per cent of the stock?

Looking at this segment of American business, we would almost find it appropriate to call our present economic system "managementism" rather than "capitalism."

>Rec.2020

My naive questions.

I thought Rec.2020 was already insanely good? I am reading this as it meant Rec.2020 is good, but far from perfect ?
Yup, that's the one. Didn't realize it was a chapter. Excellent summary.
It scales, though. It makes sense that a thing like Google YouTube exists: if you can scale enough, it becomes worthwhile at least to yourself to provide it. Your main benefit is control and exclusivity: you can expect very large results from very small controlling actions.

Most likely doesn't make you enough money to redistribute it to lots of content creators, though it serves your purposes to have 'em thinking that is what they're there for.

I'm happy enough to serve consumer-grade video content at no cost to me through YouTube, on their terms. It's limiting, but I can put a lot of video out there without paying a host to serve the bandwidth. And YouTube gets to continue to pretend they are the only game in town.

From the introduction:
“Scepticism has attained its culminating point with respect to Homer, and the state of our Homeric knowledge may be described as a free permission to believe any theory, provided we throw overboard all written tradition, concerning the author or authors of the Iliad and Odyssey. What few authorities exist on the subject, are summarily dismissed, although the arguments appear to run in a circle. “This cannot be true, because it is not true; and that is not true, because it cannot be true.” Such seems to be the style, in which testimony upon testimony, statement upon statement, is consigned to denial and oblivion."

The same people who didn’t trust the police “until recently” never trusted the police. It was not until police misconduct started being filmed that people learned the truth - and many still don’t care and make excuses for police misconduct as long as it isn’t happening to someone that looks like them.
I have a number of European friends and they can't even wrap their heads around the USA's policing and crime issues. It's literally a foreign concept to them. Their attitude seems to be, "You're so rich. How could you get this so wrong?" I'd say you get it better than most, just add a big scoop of institutional racism and you're there. In the spirit of HN, I'm not trying to push a political opinion, but just to explain that to the BLM protesters, this is their reality.

Tons of people have been flooring previous generation of cards 24/7 for months with compute workloads, and not nearly all of them were using watercooling. Those cards are still fine.

ECC memory might be an argument though, for CAD/CAE type of work. Doubt ML cares about a few bitflips.
The best EV thing comes from the fact that they are best in drive train, efficiency and battery tech.

They don't necessarily build the best cars.

As a tesla owner I'd say they are better bult than most American cars, on par with German but behind the Japanese.

Five years ago I would have agreed that they don't have quality cars (even though they were still the best EV). I was refusing to go near them for several years after test driving a "classic" model S with rattles and squeaks and all that, but at least in my own car (2019, model X "raven") these kind of things are non-existent.

Edit: On topic, I also think that the stock is crazy high.

It's still a concern.

Attackers but knowing details can make attacks much harder especially if they attack things where they don't have any direct feedback it also increases the lightly hood of attacks been identified as such by monitoring before they succeed.

Sure you MUST NEVER rely on obscurity for security and any form of obscurity for security which increases complexity is increasing the potential error/bug surface and as such a bad idea. But not freely giving out how exactly your bank works internally is still a very sane/usefull idea.

(It's not the same as e.g. not giving out how a tool a lot of external people use directly works, it's about internal only workings which you don't give out.)

The dates are important if the kids are to draw their own understanding of history. They can be told that X caused Y and just accept that the X came before Y, or they can learn the dates well enough to examine the situation themselves.

For instance: How long was WWII? How long was Vietnam? When exactly did WWII start, before or after US involvement? Knowing those sorts of dates allows students to put today's wars into context. Has the US been in Iraq longer than WWII? Longer than Vietnam? They can memorize the dates and answer those questions themselves. That makes them informed citizens, and some of them eventual informed soldiers, better able to participate in very relevant current events.

Pope’s translation (the linked one) is the best, bar none. While some may find the language overdone or question its accuracy, I think the quality of the writing makes up for it. Besides, unless you’re reading it in Ancient Greek, a translation is still a translation.
These aren't home drives, where you have ample cooling in a PC case and power.

These are for NAS's/Servers where power and heat is a controlling factor, if admins wanted/could they would buy the 7200rpm drives and there would be a market for it, but they chose the 5400rpm because of constraints.

This is WD being lazy/cheap. Instead of selling them as 7200rpm drives, they're shovelling them into the 5400rpm lines as a presumably cost cutting measure.

They did not learn their lesson with the SMR/CMR scandal. Label your drives clearly.
No not really because the president has direct legal authority over the military. Mayors do not directly control police, they're bound very tightly by strong police union contracts for starters as to what they have to do to even fire an officer.

Also if the military did decide to just go around ignore the President there's not much he could actually do, it happens often enough in other countries we have a name for it... a military coup.
I still don’t get why google deprecated me as a customer. Google’s churn is exhausting.

I found this really interesting to read. It's really cool that they use the mechanical press of the buttons to generate energy. I had never thought of that before. However when you think about those old longpress ratchet flashlights - that was the same concept.
The pressure balancing gravity in a star like the sun comes from electromagnetism. Neutron stars are so heavy that the pressure comes from the nuclear forces and degeneracy pressure (the same reason there are at most two electrons per orbital in chemistry). They are really fundamentally different objects. A neutron star is more like an enormous nucleus bound by gravity, while the sun is just plasma with an occasional nuclear reaction happening. Future changes in the sun's radius have more to do with its changing composition over time, which alters the reactions that can occur and their rates, which subsequently change the balance between pressure and gravity.

* Is it highly unlikely, sure, but it's important to create awareness of the risks associated. At the end of the day, you are sending potentially sensitive data to a third party.*

I don't think it is highly unlikely. I think it is highly likely that if you make a habit of using these tools one of them will eventually be compromised. Either through a technical hack, financial pressure, purchase by an immoral entity, or a disgruntled employee somewhere along the path.

Then again if it's just for testing/learning, and the data isn't really sensitive who cares, use what's easiest. Most of the time the easiest for me is jupyter so I can test how it actually works, and when I'm finished I have working code.
Funny, every time I get an ad for YouTube Premium pop up at the bottom of my iOS client, the feature they tout is "videos keep playing in the background" which sounds like an anti-feature. I use "killing the YouTube App" as the most-convenient method of stopping YouTube videos because it's less work than dealing with the on-screen controls.

I prefer not to support SubscribeStar in any way, as that normalizes right-wing extremists who break the Patreon TOS. I guess it depends on how much distance you want between yourself and your brand and right-wing extremists, and what things you're willing to accept under the guise of 'free speech'.

But that is the mother of all sub-threads, so it might not be worth us getting into that infinite recursion fueled by dishonest argument :)
I think it is a side effect of what keeps google from turning into IBM. Ossification is a perennial problem for large corporations especially traditional growth companies. They make their few big things then iterate on them. The "ADHD" shown by google, while it is annoying to users to have a perfectly serviceable piece of software discontinued unceremoniously, probably keeps the internal structure from becoming rigid and failing to adapt. I think they are probably slightly too far over on the side of kill stuff and move on but I'm not a multibillion dollar company.

Water disassociates into hydrogen and oxygen in UV light, and hydrogen gas move faster than escape velocity, even at current atmospheric temperatures.

Ok, so it is more complicated than that, the speed of any atom or molecule is a Maxwellian distribution, but enough move fast enough that it’s an acceptable approximation, especially over these time scales.

I'm not sure how well they're doing there globally. There are about 200 fast charging locations in Ireland (mostly CCS/Chademo combo) and 1000 or so 22kW AC ones. Tesla supercharging stations? Two. (They also have a bunch of destination chargers, perhaps 20 or 30). I think they're doing worse in Ireland than in most European countries, but not THAT much worse, and of course the CCS infra in many countries is far better, too.
