That was a "S3 Service Disruption". A perfect example of a problem you do not have with a single VPS setup.
The arguments for gun control are very similar - in addition to “people we don’t like” it also includes “people we do like but don’t handle them safely enough”.

Also, that’s big media’s claim against torrents. And the war on drugs started by Harry Anslinger was basically started along those lines.

It seems “percentage of use by people we don’t like / for purposes we don’t like” plays a big part.
The unbundling concept is making the rounds through the 'indie hacker' community. I've heard it mentioned a few podcasts recently. It'll be interesting to see what business spring up in the next couple of years that chip pieces off of Facebook and Reddit.

I wonder if in a century we'll understand the economy of the Internet as constantly oscillating between concentration and decentralization.
The Power of Waves
The north coast of Cornwall is rugged, with headlands that open up onto the Atlantic Ocean. Waves power into the coast, with an almighty force, whilst many surfers await, ready to make the most of the towering water as it breaks.
Obviously waves are powerful things, but there is more to their power than meets the eyes and I wanted to explore their true power.

A wave breaks when it wants, it is as powerful as it wants, the wave couldn’t care less if you’re riding it or not. There is no controlling it. It’s just you responding and reacting to the wave. Your reaction is all you can control. This creates a connection, a relationship between you and the water. One that you are a part of, but just to observe and react, all you can do is do your best and the wave will do its own thing. This connection is natural and raw, just you and the elements, nothing else is interfering or interrupting.

This connection with what’s around you and the earth, as you are riding the wave to the shore, also forms with fellow surfers riding the wave. Enjoying that same moment and experience, unique in many ways.

I'm glad this is beginning to be taken seriously. And that the answer isn't "sandbox every dependency" which is ridiculous.
I largely agree with this. On iOS, I can’t actually get past the pop-up on their homepage, which (infuriatingly) prevents me from scrolling.

It might be my adblocker, but IMHO whomever did that to their mobile homepage ought to be given at least a very stern talking to.

And whomever got them to code it ought to be fired.
Yeah, I was sort of into interactive fiction like over a decade ago. I actually converted a random haiku generator from JavaScript to Inform 6.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but with floating point, denormalized/denormal numbers aren't just numbers with a magnitude less than 1, they're numbers so small that it's no longer possible to adjust the exponent in the usual way, so leading zeroes are used in the mantissa. This reduces precision.

Twitch already mutes parts of VOD's (past streams that are archived) when they detect copyrighted music. There is a loophole though, you can stream video-game music all you want because detecting those would mean they have to remove 90% of the videos on the website.
Well yes but the digital test does not give your better info. They translate a non binary result to a binary one.

What I did when "we" were doing these tests (got 2 types both paper stips, one high sensitivity and one of the cheapest one) simply compare a unused strip and the one with pee.

It's not hard and the manual in the ones I got were really good. Like color pictures and lots of examples.

It strikes me this is likely to be very self-reinforcing, too. If the people they target end up in jail, you can almost guarantee that it'll be used as a metric that their junk science is working.

It's probably a very effective way to weaponise "three strikes" too.
They're great. I've had less downtime with them than DO and I have several VPSs there. I'd highly recommend them.
It looks to me that the digital test just makes the situation worse by potentially giving a false negative due to the sensitivity threshold. In many cases being pregnant and not knowing it is worse than the converse. So the false positive may be better than a false negative.

The "analog" version is capable of displaying a value marginally above 0 and lets your eyes and brain decide or at least raise a flag. The digital test replaces your eyes with crappy photodiodes, and your (even 16 year old) brain with a crappy controller that just looks at a high threshold and decides "below=0".

I see people here saying that a digital is better because it reduces confusion. But it does so by discarding data. I'd take the debatable test every time, especially when for the money a digital one costs you can get multiple paper tests to do repeated checks.

That title is wrong for at least one user, me.

I think the mobile app is great, if you only look at its features and its ability to deliver Reddit content and discussion.

I volunteered for the Reddit beta, even though I am a proponent of minimalistic and simple websites.

To be honest it is very resource heavy. Even selecting text has a 1.5s delay in the WYSIWYG editor.

But overall it's not much different than other content heavy websites online.
I suspect none of your examples are factually correct, or even particularly relevant. I'm not aware of any significant trend of suing security camera owners for copyright infractions, for example.

Copyright on images and audio is actually how artists make most of their money.

Some musicians can play live, but what options do professional photographers have if they want to create work of lasting value?

Perhaps artists should move towards the software developer model and produce products that are never actually finished and never really work correctly, so they can spend their professional lives never quite fixing the problems they've created.

Before you comment on technicalities, remember that reddit's management consciously caters to the emotional people, and managing such a platform is very different than HN. I'd even admit the possibility that the plain and dry UI of HN would look unappealing to the reddit folks.

> largely (functionally) indistinguishable from a UNIX machine

Although they were functionally similar, there were some practical considerations...

I will say that path names in unix were a simple and elegant , compared to what VMS used.

I recall VMS paths were something like [foo.bar.bletch]something.txt

At the time this was a little cumbersome, but looking back it is much worse.
Shoot. I thought "Proportion" was the One True Correct word, but it's not.

Float values between 0 and 1 are very very useful, and I use them all over the place, and I actually thought everyone did (and everyone called them 'Proportions')

Unlike percentages, you can just multiply them with the number you want the 'proportion' of,

Quick, how do you calculate 20% of 50% of 12345!?

(it's (20/100) * (50/100) * 12345)

Ok, now with 'proportions' 0.2 of 0.5 of 12345 :

Why, that's 0.2 * 0.5 * 12345 .

Am I actually the odd one out here?
Would that include 1 however?
If you take the decimal part of something then there is no difference between 0.00 and 1.00 which is I think part of the problem here

I do, where I can. But with our clients It's often impossible (due to politics) to control all of the clients on the network, so I can't disable parts I don't like.

So I have to find workarounds, like intercepting DNS queries on network level, to fix what used to work before.

And if dnssec ever gets implemented, that wont work either.
Is it possible for a musician to publish their music in a way so that everybody else can do with it whatever they like?

Yes. This happens all the time, and sometimes sounds come from places like BBC.

If so, are there already websites that deal with only this type of music? Like there is pexels.com for images?

Yes and no. People put up websites and other things that let you download music, but most of it isn't as organized as the free stuff for artists. It also seems like it is more decentralized and requires a bit more work, sometimes hours of work. It is quicker to look at photos than it is to listen to music and sound clips.

Sources: Spouse creates somewhat experimental electronic music, and uses free-to-use sounds alongside his own stuff. I've watched him sit for hours sorting through sounds and clips and music. Also, youtubers often use such music and link to it in their descriptions (Steve the Bartender, for example, and Im pretty sure Binging with Babish does something similar, or at least did at one time).
That's a good suggestion. 'Normalizing' is also used to refer to taking a vector and scaling it to make its length equal to 1. Google tells me it's also used in an analogous way elsewhere in maths.

Yes, it just stops replication "within the glass" (that's the meaning of "in vitro") with the cell culture, not in living human patients, and even "within the glass" only when using the "the Vero E6 cell line which is derived from kidney cells of green monkeys."

https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/new-study-hydroxy...

"The mechanism of action of hydroxychloroquine is to block entry of the virus into cells. Viral entry requires a helper enzyme. In the Vero E6 cell line, this enzyme is cathepsin L which hydroxychloroquine blocks. However, in the human lung cell line, the helping enzyme is TMPRSS2. Hydroxychloroquine does not effectively block this enzyme and cellular entry of the virus occurs."

So, inspired by the reports of the experiments with wrong cells a French doctor made some false claims about his success when treating patients, which were then promoted by one person wanting to be reelected, and then the followers... the results can be seen in the comments here.
We've mostly learned that Marx was wrong. The fact that capitalism was prone to crises, i.e. the business cycle, was a familiar fact by the time Marx wrote Capital. Marx argued that these derived from the fact that in capitalism capital could only come from impoverishing workers, and once capitalism ran out of workers to impoverish, time would run out and the whole system would collapse. Pretty clearly that's not what happened, and whatever the many flaws of capitalism it led to rising living standards. Even now, when inequality has increased in the US, living standards have risen for large sectors of the work force (software developers, for example) while it has stagnated for others. So the central prediction of Marx has failed to come to pass.

We also understand the business cycle in a way that Marx didn't. It's not really his fault -- Capital is 150 years old -- but we have much better explanations of the business cycle, thanks to John Maynard Keynes. We now know that money and banking is central to the cycle, and that the government can act to ameliorate the cycle. The financial crisis of 2008 essentially recreated the starting conditions of the Great Depression, and even though the government response was far from optimal (there was lots of talk of "expansionary austerity"), we had nowhere near the disaster of the Great Depression.

We also understand economic growth better than Marx did. In Marx' day, the idea was that capitalists would steal from the workers to build factories, and then once this process was over the final crisis would hit. He did not know the endless march of technological advance that would follow. (To be fair, how could he? No one can see the future.) We know from Robert Solow's research on growth theory that most of the rise in output is not from building factories, but from technological advance.

Marx also didn't really understand the role of finance in the economy. Since capital can only come from worker exploitation, there's no role for savings or investment. You can see how the communist economies struggled with this. The only idea they had for funding development was expropriation, so they would just have the state do the expropriating. (This is the source of the criticism of the Soviet Union and Maoist China for being "state capitalist"). There's no role for people saving for the future. TIAA/CREF and the Norwegian wealth fund cannot exist. There's no role for investors trying to diversify risk. There's no role for entrepreneurs trying to raise money to fund future technological advance. That is why when China switched to capitalist development, it averaged 6% economic growth for like 50 years. Strikingly, they still teach Marx in schools in China, but they didn't become the world power they are today until they started ignoring him.

> but largely (functionally) indistinguishable from a UNIX machine when accessing it via teletype (glass or otherwise).

I disagree. I first sat down at a VMS terminal in a library in North Carolina when the OPAC broke and dropped me back to a prompt. I knew Linux passably well at that point but had never used VMS before.

I typed ls, tried dir, that worked, and finally tried help. In half an hour I was investigating the university's network. It was a remarkably easy system to get oriented on. Conversely, no one can be expected to get anything vaguely comparable when sitting down unattended at a unix shell for twenty minutes.

CO2 Absorber for Storage Tank Valves
CO2 Scrubber & Absorbers are mounted on the breather valve of the tank. It very well may
be gathered either on the top of the tank or on the ground. The CO2 filtration effectiveness
up to 100% empowers a high caliber of demineralized water.

Filter for Demineralized Water Tank Vents is to be introduced at the breathing
vent to avert CO2 entrance in to the DM water stockpiling tank. The aim is to maintain full
removal of the CO2 from the outer sources.
The most common way of measuring very low ionic impurity levels in ultra-pure water is conductivity and resistivity analyzes. Demineralized water is usually exposed to air from CO2, which increases its conductivity and gives the appearance of a pollutant in water. The CO2 Scrubber for DM Tanks allows you to maintain your pH and low conductivity of demineralized water. Contingent upon the CO2 focus in the approaching air, the water conductivity can be expanded to ~ 0.8-1.5 suS/cm.

is a global manufacturer of Low-Pressure-Drop CO2 Scrubber/CO2 Absorber which especially structured with new innovation for demineralized water tank and other storage tank vents. Model 1200 is important for industries such as demineralized water, power generation, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals having strict legal requirements. In additional filters are usually used in to remove odor from the air too.

Does anyone know the minimal provisions they could potentially use in this case?
You can still buy new cars off the lot right now without airbags or any safety features. And of course, trucks and commercial vehicles rarely come with these safety features in any case.

Also, this scrapping law applies even for vehicles with all safety features.. including from companies such as Mercedes, BMW, VW etc.

I would think that it makes perfect sense to scrap vehicles - no matter how young/old, if it seriously fails an inspection or if the pollution levels from the vehicle is too bad - and there are existing "fitness" tests for this, and so why scrap vehicles which are well maintained?
How can this work on Github when Github's image proxy has a 4-hour cache?

> It seems society itself viewed her as Black. So based on race being a social construct, wouldn't that make her Black?

No, that's not what a “social construct” means. Social constructs still have socially constructed rules, and the social construct of race is mostly based around the race socially ascribed to your ancestors. (There's a newer complementary or competing coexisting construct that has a greater contribution from self-identity, as well, but even that one still has a significant contribution from ascribed race of ancestors.) In her case, neither her ancestry nor her genuine self-identity were black, she was viewed as back only based on her false presentation of both of those points.

Am presuming this is distinct from the problems with the main website (i.e. they aren't trying to push people off of that too), but maybe related in the sense that it seems the strategy is to turn the website into an app instead of keeping it as a website. IMHO, this isn't a good fit for what I use reddit for, which is a collection of linked documents - where 'normal' server-rendered documents worked really well. It doesn't really need to be an app, and building it as an app bloats it for my use-case.

I'm not sure if it's due to odd FE architecture choices or if this specifically helps increase bottom-line KPIs, but there are some bizarre things like the fact that clicking on the background of a post takes you back to the subreddit via replacing history (?), which kind of breaks the idea of how you expect a website to work.

What confuses me from an architecture POV is there are glaring high-value things they could fix - like subreddit search, image hosting etc. - that get left.

I think your argument that VWO is a profitable business, is unknown. VWO is also still private. It could be going through the same issues. Additionally, I'd say that valuations are inherently made up. Optimizely was perceived as having more value previously, it doesn't mean it actually was. When it was serving the SMB space, it had a massive churn in that space.
The complaints here don't seem to be much about how Unix works in a deep way, but rather the particular language/syntax which is used to interact with it ("rm", etc.). While that's certainly annoying in many ways, so are almost all languages in common use. You could write a lot about how horrible English is (or German, as Mark Twain famously did). But English is a useful standard - politics, inertia, and the value of a common language are forces far stronger than the fact that the language is more annoying than it could be.

Am I being trolled? Probably :(
