As one of the largest polluting countries in the world the US would already have had sanctions imposed if it weren't the trigger happy nation it is. It boggles the mind knowing it can get away with so much damage to this planet. China and India, also major polluters, are taking constant heat over it but the US is not. The only option is to stop buying american (little and of low quality as it is) and impose harsh tariffs on any products made without consideration for the environments.

As with cars. Fortunately there almost no us made cars in europe as they damage the environment.
I wish I could like Traefik, but it really isn't easy.

The use case in our Hackerspace was to dispatch different Docker containers through our wild-card subdomains. Traefik is supposed to also automatically create TLS certificates. I had numerous problems with the Let's Encrypt functionality.

Debugging information is quite cryptic, the documentation seems all over to me, which is even more problematic given the number of breaking changes between 1.x and 2.x versions. The way you automatically configure things through Docker labels means that a simple typo can render your configuration ignored.

Also, plugging in Traefik to complex docker-compose projects such as Sentry or Gitlab is next to impossible, because of networking: whatever I tried, Traefik just couldn't pick up containers and forward to them unless I changed the definition of every single container in the docker-compose to include an extra network. I don't feel this should be this complex.

Sometimes I just feel that we should get back to using Nginx and write our rules manually. While the concept of Traefik is awesome, the way one uses it is extremely cumbersome.
I've seen [0] before and you can sort of explain [0] and [1] by adjusting the frame of reference. As [0] shows, Republicans have pretty much been unmoved for 30 years. At first view you might conclude it's democrats who are moving right, but if you consider the rest of the 1st world as some kind of "average", I think you would find Republicans are moving farther right. Issues like health care, social safety nets, and worker protections are pretty much close to "center" in Europe, but are "left" in the US.

One could argue Republicans moved much father rightward of the 1st world mean than democrats have, which reconciles with [1] - in order to stay mostly politically unchanged after 30 years you must be more and more steadfast.
Thats as clean as it gets. I like it!
> Is this the end of online privacy as we know it?

That would imply there was online privacy at some point, or at least that it was a thing that all users could reasonably understand and achieve.

If users understood that Facebook's business model might eventually require what (in hind-sight) appeared to be multiple privacy violations, but continued to use the service anyway because they couldn't help themselves, they really never had online privacy when using the service.

For those of you down-voting me, I'm pointing out this is a fallacious argument talking about online privacy. The companies who built these huge platforms didn't bake in online privacy when they built and evolved their systems. Talking about it like we've "lost it" is pointless, but I do think it's worth exploring how we can make it better!
Where is this wealth of principled conservatives people keep pretending exist, but are no where to be seen in politics or political discussions? Like it or not, Republicans are the "conservative" party and around 95% of them support Trump and the vast majority of them consider themselves to be conservatives. Attempts from conservatives to distance themselves from the Republican party just reek of No true Scotsman.
Ok but other people might?
Exactly. They are also basically saying you don't need to moderate most illicit activity (if it's an unmoderated format) but you essentially can't operate such a platform in a form where it is "unmoderateable"/untraceable because you should be liable for any unlawful content that goes up, and for the the fact that you facilitated it.
According to Dan Luu, none of the citations on that page actually support what it claims.

Amusingly, given the context, I haven't actually read any of those citations. However, he's pretty careful, so I take the claim seriously, though I'll ultimately withhold judgment. As far as I'm aware, no one has come back to point to a citation and show that it supports the result.

California Will Phase Out Gasoline-Powered Cars
Title is slightly misleading.

Theyre phasing out gasoline vehicles and currently plan to stop selling new ones in 2035.

I'm fairly certain they'll bring that timetable forward as electric cars go mainstream but its a teasonable ambition at the moment.

Tesla have the highest consumer satisfaction so you are exaggerating how much people complain. General its good practice not to accept it until it is perfect, that is true.

And in initial quality surveys while Tesla is bad, other luxury cars are not that great.

They aren’t forced to join.

I’m going to be a bit handwavy here:

generally - crew members do not work for a specific company, so the problem of a “Union only” job is perhaps somewhat different. Crew members are all functionally contractors for that one specific production. There are no long term contractual obligations. After that production is over, they have to hunt around for their next gig which reinforces the relationship based job economy of Hollywood labor.

When a production is kicking, off department heads will be hired (for instance, a Director is Photography) and they will hire the crew members below them in the hierarchy. Many department heads will have their regular group of people they call, and it can be difficult to break into the network. Most people who join a union have experience, training, references, etc which help build those connections.

Again, non-union film production happens all the time. The benefits of joining one of the unions are positive enough that most people do, but You don’t have to be in Local 600 to shoot a movie.
> why can't we say the same about speech?

We can. We just haven't yet, and it is not clear that it would result in a world that most Americans would prefer to the one we live in. And like religion it would be subject to lots of tension and litigation about the speech of the corporation's owner vs. the speech of the corporation's customer.
Fair, perhaps the comparison with homeopathy was overly harsh. I'd certainly not say they were at exactly the same point on the spectrum of "hard science <> pseudoscience". My intention with that point was to highlight that there _is_ a point where professors do need to discourage students, and the rate/vigor of discouragement should be proportional to the current priors on "likelihood of being junk".

I'd happily retract that point and stick to the point around the professor's duty to keep their students from falling into intellectual quicksand or other impediments; I think that's the more important one anyway.

And I certainly agree that cold fusion would be revolutionary if it turns out to be physically possible. However based on my understanding, there's a solid body of nuclear physics -- both theory and experiment -- that show that this process is many orders of magnitude away from being activatable at room temperature. So I'd personally rather fund modern fission, hot fusion, and renewables as significant research targets.
So these particular changes are more about the UI for viewing/consuming content than editing/creating.

And I'm suspicious of the theory that a harder to use UI for editing results in higher quality content. I understand your theory that some people who would edit content maliciously or without proper care would be put off by a harder to use UI, but it's not obvious to me that it's true, or that it wouldn't be countered by putting off even more people who would have good intentions and take proper care, some of whom correct malicious content. When making decisions for a site that millions use, you probably don't want to make significant strategic decisions, like to intentionally not make the UI as easy to use as you can, based on hunches.

But anyway, wikipedians have actually had the opposite concern of yours for a while, rather than increasing to "too many" contributors, wikipedia seems to be losing contributors, and many see it as a problem. Both because you need enough contributors to maintain content, and because the self-image of wikipedia is that "anyone can edit", they actually want to make it accessible, not put barriers in the way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Why_is_Wikipedia_los...

More info about who contributes to wikipedia is on the following page, which suggests about 132K users in the last 30 days. I don't know what the number is for how many users viewed wikipedia in the last 30 days but I'd guess far under 1% of wikipedia users make edits.

I don't understand why people complain about line length when that really means you should just resize the window to your preference.

On the other hand, pages that stay in a narrow column in the middle when I widen the window really infuriate me, because I explicitly asked for wider columns and am not getting it.

There's no more learning required for changing Emacs keybindings than in other IDEs. If you don't want to go the scripting way, you can use the Customize interface, which is Emacs's equivalent of Settings dialog in most other software. Hell, unlike most software, Customize interface gives you a choice between applying changes temporarily and permanently, so you can try things out and if you mess up, just restart the editor.

(Under the hood, stuff you change via Customize gets serialized into a file called custom.el. But you don't have to know that to use it.)

> So either Tesla needs to make a much stronger push for carrying one's key/keycard, or they need to fix the bug that makes the local bluetooth on the app stop working (or both).

I think they just did that stronger push, albeit involuntary :)
I wish this were more widely known, and not just for Wikipedia. There are too many local MediaWiki installations that stick with the dated default Vector theme. NB: it's not the theme's datedness that makes it bad; it's that the design decisions are poor ones that reflect trendy anti-patterns of that era, and in the meantime, the insistence on them has more or less quietly and thankfully disappeared. I'm referring to the attitude that publishing on the Web calls for a sui generis "look" involving sidebars, dubious color and font size choices, and bold emphasis on app-like UI elements and other cruft like navigation controls, rather than foremost emphasizing the content itself and letting the user agent handle things like preferred font size. The Vector skin, like popular Wordpress themes of that time, strongly reflects that style, and it's bad. The Web would be much better off if future MediaWiki installations by default shipped with a skin resembling Wikiwand (modulo the fixes that should be made to it as well—e.g. stop fucking overriding the browser's native font size with your tiny-ass text! HN is just as guilty on this; any site that makes the main body text <1em (or >1em, for that matter) is by definition doing it wrong).

We already produce a significant quantity of ruthenium, rhodium and palladium in spent nuclear fuel and choose not to extract them. If these metals became more widely available the market price would collapse, which now would not justify both mining or nuclear reprocessing.

Sure. I'm not disputing them bringing up gender diversity, I'm simply stating that nobody but you were talking about requirements and keeping people out to meet certain `diversity requirements'. You were, simply put, attacking your own straw-man.
The law provides them immunity from civil suits. Apple as a provider can say they comply with section 230 and avoid any legal liability from people that may be harmed by their actions. In other words, you can't sue Apple because someone used iCloud to distribute child porn of you.

The essential bargain struck for 230 was that providers get immunity in exchange for policing their system and helping law enforcement. Apple et al removing their ability to police their systems breaks that bargain.
Ohh yeah, you're right, I mixed up things. Thanks.

I don't use AWS, so I cannot compare. But I've been using Azure for ~2 years and have no problem doing what I need to do there. Surely, they can make the portal and UI more consistent (e.g., Azure Data Factory and Azure DevOps does not seem to reside in the same UI theme as the other Azure resources such as Logic App or Blob). Again, this is just my experience and I am sure for anyone who just started using it, Azure portal can be overwhelming and confusing to use.
Pretty disappointed to see both authors pitch their products and not discuss:

Why not leave it to the user? If they want narrower text, they can make their window narrower. If they want wider text, they can make their window wider. This design forces "narrow" as the one true way, leaving out users who prefer to use the whole monitor they paid for.

(Like 90% of the people in the entire world would agree with the above statement and find the omission from the list above perplexing. During the Cold War, Sting actually had a song about how kids was one of the things Americans and Soviets can are on.

That's a pretty balanced viewpoint, the only reason I disagree with it is that Mozilla went out of their way to appear as a progressive employer and player in the marketplace, to then hire a CEO as Eich makes light of that commitment. If Mozilla were any other ordinary tech company then I would agree with you. But this would be a bit like the CEO of Greenpeace going on a whale hunt for sport.
The cert seems to be jacked up, i get a Potential Security Risk Ahead warning
The key card still works, as I would expect. The car isn't dependent upon network infrastructure; an optional convenience is dependent upon it. You can operate a Tesla fully without installing the Tesla app.

As a comparison, my last car was a BMW. For that car, I had key fobs. I always had to take one of these key fobs in order to unlock and use the car. So going out, I would have one key with which I could operate the car.

Now, because I always carry the key card in my wallet, and I always have my phone, I always have _two_ keys with me. This isn't worse than having only one key, even if one of the keys is failing today due to an internet outage.

Essentially, I'm experiencing the worst case scenario right now, which is that I'm exactly the same situation as when I had my BMW. It's annoying (and as an iOS dev, I Have Questions on how the app came to be architected such that a network outage erases the app's settings). But I'm not worse off

Indeed it would.

Keep in mind that the current massive dip in gas prices is temporary and only caused by COVID causing people to drive less. Once COVID goes away (however long THAT'S gonna take) and people start going out more and taking road trips, prices will return to their $3+.

I bought my Tesla in October. I've had multiple people now ask me "Do you regret buying an EV since gas is so cheap right now?" and I think it's an incredibly short-sighted question.

Besides, if you're buying an EV to save money on gas, then you're either bad at math, or you drive over 1,000 miles per week, because the money savings isn't enough to offset the price difference between an ICE and an EV until you start to reach 200,000 miles or so, where the lower maintenance costs start to also become a factor.
That so called "security issue" is silly.

You don't have to deploy traefik with docker. If you want traefik to monitor new docker containers to add routes for them, of course traefik needs to talk to the docker api to do so.

The docker api has no way to control access such that it's not equivalent to root access.

However, there's no real vulnerability. I'm happy to provide you a url hosted by traefik with the docker integration enabled, no docker socket proxy, etc, and if you can manage to actually escalate permissions, I'll give you 500 bucks. But, of course, you can't. That security issue is just a "defense in depth" issue, and it's an issue for docker, not traefik.

This would be like saying "traefik uses the linux kernel api to open files, but the linux kernel requires traefik validate what goes into that api or else it could allow file path traversal"... But traefik does validate filepaths and so no one makes that complaint.

Similarly, traefik does validate that only safe docker api calls are made and works hard to prevent any sort of remote code execution, so the issue is not a security issue, but a defense in depth proposal that is really a feature request for the docker project.
Yes, thanks a lot! The demos are fun and interesting.
I’m betting once async/await lands in Swift it’s usefulness as a server-side language will greatly increase. You can check on GitHub the work on a async/await by people like Doug Gregor has begun. Very exciting.
These questions have the same answer as basically any other company. Most internet companies do not pay their content creators or if they do (e.g. youtube) they pay them a relatively small pot of the pie that is really only significant for the super popular people (whether that's ethical is totally different question).

Ouch, we’re currently using nginx but recently switched one service to use traefik. I’m so afraid what you describe is what will bite us in the end. I wrote treafik instead of traefik in one of the labels and only noticed it after hours of debugging. When it works, it works great. But to get it in that state..

My 14-Hour Search for the End of TGI Friday's Endless Appetizers (2014)
I teach using xv6 and would add a couple more items to what others have already pointed out. They mainly come down to simplifications that remove distractions from the core ideas:

* The system assumes a fixed amount of RAM and a fixed memory layout, so there is no discovery process and no adaptive code to go with it

* The process table is just a small array--no dynamic allocation necessary, and the system can just do a linear search to find an unused entry

* The userspace is simplified. There is a single stack (no threads) of fixed size, mapped memory starts at address 0, and memory is layed out so that only a single number is required to track the size of the entire address space: the size is the top of mapped memory.

Simple data structures are used everywhere, and the emphasis is always on clarity, not efficiency or flexibility.
