IMHO, the problem is that americans have gotten used to taking things too literally and being overly nitpicky, rather than look at a big picture. The right to bear arms, for example, was originally put there with the intent to allow the people to violently defend against an oppressive regime, if they felt that was what was needed to defend their rights and freedoms. It's since been reduced to nits on the interpretation of "the people" as individuals vs their state, and nowadays, it's been further reduced to nits on rifle sizes, open carry virtue signaling, whatever.

This whole thing fits the Benjamin Franklin quote to a tee: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".

The known facts are that the most prominent critic and opposition to the Russian dictator was poisoned in a situation that is highly similar to previous incidents that are confirmed Russian.

Considering Putin has had journalists and opposition leaders killed before, and the Russian government tried to prevent the opposition from leaving the country or seeing outside doctors, one has to choose an answer which makes the least assumptions:

* Would the Russian dictator once again attempt to murder his most prominent critic?

* Or would the German government... falsify the poisoning, even though he was hospitalized... as a false flag... but domestic inside of Russia... during a period where the West is collapsing and USA is run by someone who is likely under Russian control meaning triggering Russia into conflict would be to do so during a period when you are least likely to be backed up by the only other nuclear power with a capable enough triad to M.A.D./stalemate it out?

You can make the assumptions you want, but man your route seems to make a lot more of them.

Wow, you truly are delusional. If you think there is no social aspect to schools then i'm wasting my keystrokes. Read up on what modern families look like, rarely (except for immigrant families mostly) are they 'extended'.

I'm replying to the parent comment that stated online and virtual learning are superior to attending schools. It was implied the ONLY purpose of school is to ascertain knowledge when that's merely one (small) aspect.

"Schools, in fact, prevent socialization" is maybe one of the most divorced from reality statements I've ever read on HN.

No. In fact, the entire observable universe is a black hole: the Schwarzschild radius of the mass of the observable universe is greater than the observable size, meaning by the technical definition of a black hole we are living within one: light from Earth sent into the darkest region of the sky will not escape the gravitational pull of the whole universe, even before considering expansion rates.

The reason a container with no limit can exhaust CPU is that kubernetes CPU requests map to the cpushares accounting system, and CPU limits map to the Completely Fair Scheduler's cpuquota system. The cpushares system divides a core into 1024 shares, and guarantees a process gets the number of shares it reserves, but it does not limit the process from taking more shares if other processes aren't consuming them. The cpuquota system divides CPU time into periods of... I think... 100k microseconds by default, and hard limits a process at the number of microsecs per periods it requests. So if you don't set limits you're only using the cpushares system, and are free to take up as much idle CPU as you can grab.
> Of course it's dominated by poverty and a lack of good options for young black men ...

In the United States poverty in Black communities is a consequence of systemic racism, which continues to this day.

W/the “drug war” examples further below, there’s a direct link between systemic racism and police behavior in black communities. Which admittedly cannot be blamed entirely on the police. But they certainly don’t help.

Look at redlining in the 50s:

Or the response to the opioid epidemic - prevalent in white communities - as opposed to how they responded to the crack/cocaine epidemic (prevalent in black communities) in the
80s. A medical response for white people - a criminal response for black people.

https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/resources/article/crimina...

Or the sentencing disparities between crack (prevalently used in poorer black communities) vs cocaine use/dealing.

Kashmir is the most important strategic post bordering 3 nuclear nations at war-ish with each other.

It is landlocked, with each country controlling different parts of it, and 2 claiming it in entirety.

J&K is a 3 part territory, of which 99%+ of Leh, Ladakh and Jammu want to be a part of India. So, if Kashmir was to be independent, it would be tiny, vulnerable and entirely dependent on neighboring states, that it would be at war with.

Now, there is also the fact that over the last 200 years, native Hindu Kashmiri communities have been driven out (literally, by violence) of Kashmir, so Kashmir independence can't exactly be unilateral.

Lastly, India is a proper democratic nation. States have full rights and religious + cultural diversity is celebrated. I am as biased as it gets, but I'd say India is the best option among Pakistan, India and PRC run China.

Explicitly setting GOMAXPROCS is probably the cleanest way to limit CPU among the runtimes that are out there, however. For example, if you set requests = 1, limits = 1, GOMAXPROCS=1, then you will never run into the latency-increasing cfs cpu throttling; you would be throttled if you used more than 1 CPU, but since you can't (modulo forks, of course), it won't happen. There is https://github.com/uber-go/automaxprocs to set this automatically, if you care.

You are right that by default, the logic that sets GOMAXPROCS is unaware of the limits you've set. That means GOMAXPROCS will be something much higher than your cpu limit, and an application that uses all available CPUs will use all of its quota early on in the cfs_period_us interval, and then sleep for the rest of it. This is bad for latency.

In the low latency trading world, these concerns are addressed by partitioning resources (for CPU, with affinities). This seems like a simpler mechanism that doesn’t require the kernel/daemon to track resource usage and to impose limits.

I see only upsides to performance (bandwidth and latency) and availability by partitioning resources — so what are the benefits of the alternative, using limits, beyond being able to stuff more apps onto a machine? That’s not to trivialize that benefit.

Does kubernetes even allow for “affinitizing”?

How does this contrast with Brave Attention Tokens (not technically, but how different is it product-wise)?

How do you solve the problem of an average Internet user having to setup a bitcoin-wallet etc; Is it seamless / friction-less for them?

Do these micro-transactions count as donations?

What kind of attack vectors do you foresee especially when the user is an average reader and might not be particularly tech savvy? How do you plan to overcome them?

Did you consider stellar.org as possibly creating your own coin? Or, is something of this sort on the roadmap? This would be exciting since, if whatever Brave was doing with BAT was made opensource and deploy-able to any and all browsers, such a product could take off, imo.

Nevertheless, I think you're aiming for simplicity above all else. So, keep at it.

I'm sorry, but what is going on in this paragraph?
I should have been more clear about the role I believe experiences play. What matters to me is not just a person's concrete memories of experiences, but their unique personality that has been built up by a combination of those experiences, genetics, and a hefty dose of randomness.

In the "accidental clone" scenario, I wouldn't just be losing memories of a few minutes of experiences; I'd also be losing whatever delta to my personality the discarded clone went through in those minutes. However, in most cases I wouldn't care because that delta would be miniscule. As I mentioned, a potential problematic case is if I suddenly had a eureka moment in those few minutes that single-handedly changed my personality, but that's pretty unlikely.

With Abby and Brittany Hensel, on the other hand, they've had three decades to build up unique personalities, so despite sharing many of the same experiences they're definitely different people. (Plus, there are various sources of divergence between their experiences. For example, each of them will remember a different subset of their experiences, and in any argument between the two of them, each of them would experience being on a different side of the argument.)

Similarly, "I live on" and "my child live on" are very different things; a parent and child don't even share most of the same experiences, let alone personality.

> Then why don't you suicide right now, if continuity of experience is that casually irrelevant to you and all you need is a belief that some other body in the universe shares the same ideas you do? There are a lot of people on the planet right now, are you not convinced that someone, somewhere, shares enough of the important ideas with you already? Why not? Is your memory of a dentist's visit in third grade, or your particular grandmother's generic apple pie really that special?

I'm a special snowflake… just like everybody else. [ed:] I'm not important, but I'm unique; nobody is exactly like me.

Do I make the world much better with my existence? Not really. Hopefully I make it a little better; hopefully I don't make it worse; but I'm only one person and not a particularly famous one.

But I still want to live, and I want other people who are alive to keep living. Not as a means to some end, but as an ingrained human desire.

Yet I choose to interpret "I" as "my special-snowflakeness", as opposed to tying it to some physical object [ed: or continuity or linearity of experience, which I think are largely violated already when I fall asleep or lose memories]. An exact copy of me is the same special snowflake, at least at first, progressively diverging as the two copies start to have different experiences.
It's important to note that the German study they cite ("78 percent of recovered COVID-19 patients...") has been largely debunked.

> What does "keenly aware" even mean?

Keeping the threat of undefined behaviour in mind, and taking steps accordingly, rather than complacently ignoring it. C is a highly unsafe language, and the programmer shouldn't forget this.

> any complicated thing that can be easily ignored, inevitably will be.

The demonstrable inability of C programmers to write correct code is a strong argument against the widespread use of C. Even old languages like Ada show that you can use a language much safer than C and still achieve solid performance. Languages like Rust are making further progress on having safety, performance, and programmer-convenience, all at once.

If you use an ultra-safe language like verified SPARK Ada, the language doesn't even allow you to, say, forget to check whether a denominator is zero, or to forget to protect against out-of-bounds array access.

> Must I pepper the code with bounds checks (which are prone to UB too if not done carefully)?

Not necessarily; a tool can help check for undefined behaviour. Static analysers, GCC flags, and tools like Valgrind, can automatically check for out-of-bounds array access, divide-by-zero, or attempting to dereference NULL. [0] Adding your own runtime assertions isn't a crazy idea though, especially for dev builds. If this were the norm in C programming we'd have fewer security vulnerabilities.

C lacks the kind of runtime checks that are 'always on' in languages like Java and C# (out-of-bounds, divide-by-zero, etc). That's not because such checks don't apply to C code, it's because of the minimalist C design philosophy. You have the option to add your own checks, or use tools to do so automatically, but if you develop without any checks anywhere you should expect to have more bugs. Java added them for a reason.

The C++ language has a somewhat different design philosophy, but it's the same reason its std::array class-template has both a runtime-checked at member-function, and an unchecked operator[]. It would be against the design philosophy to force you to pay the runtime overhead for checks, but it gives you the option.

> which are prone to UB too if not done carefully
