The "Software" column of product page [0], which I assume you are referring to, corresponds to our Community Edition, as least from a feature-set edition.

But thanks for the feedback. Always a balance between making things easily understandable and too much "in the weeds." We used to separately show "Community" and "Apache-2" on our feature matrix on product page, but frankly, it was too confusing / too much information for visitors that were just coming to TimescaleDB for the first time. Especially given that the vast, vast majority of deployments are indeed the Community edition.

For a detailed comparison, our docs should explicitly label all community features as "Community Edition". Otherwise, they are Apache-2. For example, see the labelling with compression [1], continuous aggregates [2], etc.

And we continue to provide binary packages for the Apache-2 edition of the TimescaleDB, which you can similarly find through our installation instructions (eg [3]).

That’s a tough one. I’m not sure I know enough to suggest any systemic changes, but here are a few thoughts:
- Apply more mixed practice. This is hard because the books we used to study from are based on the blocked practice idea.
- Promote more problem-based learning; not answering “what’s democracy?” on a test but role-playing setting up a new country on the moon.
- Rethink testing. This is the toughest one. We’re so conditioned to think of testing as something bad that it’d take enormous changes in the curricula and student’s minds to fix that.
> (...) while crop deaths may happen, it is not a requirement that it does.

Wait, so just because you consider that it is not a requirement, it is ok? The reality is another and veganism could be ending the world and you would be defending a best case scenario that doesn't exist?

> Statistically it is not significant

Have you ever worked in fields? I haven't spent significant amount of time there, but I have spend weeks in a farm owned by relatives. I don't know what you call significant, but the meat processing that happens there is not "not significant". Rodents, snakes, even foxes. And all that without counting insects.

> These are all super common arguments against veganism and easily disproven

I don't think so. You are just using some higher moral ground to defend your position: "I don't want deaths; yes they happen but they are not a necessity for my beliefs".

All that without considering the damage we could be making to the human race. We don't know the impact of large scale veganism on long term health.
They stopped regular work and had a hack week and morale improved. Now they're back to the regular work and having standups again. What does this show other than taking a break is fun?
I'm not saying there aren't people who feel that way, but they don't represent any significant majority. Even in the Democratic party, open borders is a highly unpopular idea. I guess it depends on your definition of "large numbers", but mine is "large enough to affect policy in the US", and by that definition, the open borders lobby does not have large numbers.

> You seem to be saying 'hey, this is just about arbitrary detention, because that's what I feel is wrong' - but I would say it's a much broader issue.

I'm saying that we're violating the rights of the people we are detaining. I'm not strictly against the detention or removal if the law is sane and it's enforced accordingly.

> For the life of me I can't understand why the US government doesn't at least make sure there is fairy consistent law-fullness within ICE.

One party has a vested interested in the way things currently are. Maybe both of them do.

Very true. Their positions are so righteous and so moral that the 46%-ish population of the US are deplorables, evil, far right, racists, xenophobia, being violent by being silent, or white supremacists.
> The AGPL allows Amazon to offer a competing service. It just needs to be open-source.

Sure, but if the problem is "leeching off their software without paying for it", then being obligated to share their changes should fix the "leeching" bit. I mean, is Amazon leeching off Linux by shipping it on all their devices?
Depends on the consequences. Usually this is invoked to mean "it's fine for me burn down your business or destroy your life because I don't like you because consequences <grin>"

In general, the statement CANNOT be true, because the chilling effect explicitly suppresses free speech -- being a result of consequences. Ergo, consequence (of a particular type) is in fact suppression of free speech.
And only for a week! What does that prove?
I think thats an unfair, and frankly agist extrapolation. I can cook for myself every day and there is plenty of inefficiency in that action. Its wasteful, the food isnt as good as a professional, I have to shop and waste gas, I have to pay retail pricing. Or I could use the shared resource thats done professionally and efficiently. We are engineers, are we not programmed to reduce complexity and waste. I dont think its fair yo assume they couldnt cook for themselves if they thought it was needed.
They also don't want to start a new welfare program that would cost trillions a year...
People distrust media so much that "believe the oppositte of what media says" seems like a reasonable heuristic to them. You need to take that into account.

Some may take that to the extreme of "believe the opposite of anything that sounds like what media would say"
Or even a Randian illusion.
Do their motivations invalidate the argument?
You asked a question, who better than Kendall to speak on the topic, I provided an answer. You said you don't care, and anyone will do.

I don't really follow the rest of your comment.

You say anyone speaking to the representatives is a good start, but representatives are ineffective. Also, why can only those trying profit/exploit an addict be of help?
Part-based GAN model to generate birds and creatures [pdf]
This may help: Given a spacetime manifold with metric and no matter that is flat an infinity, you can mathematically define the amount of curvature in it, which is directly related to how much energy in conventional forms (say, kinetic) that could be transferred to matter. Just as two merging black holes can emit gravitational waves, which have energy in this sense and escape to infinity, gravitational waves coming in from infinity can collapse into a black hole where no black hole previously existed.

Hey, thanks for the great question! Yep, Miro is a fantastic whiteboarding tool and we've used it in the past. In terms of why it wasn't fulfilling our needs, there were a couple things.

First, to give some context, we mainly use our app in 2 cases so far. One is where you're explaining some technical concept over Slack, and you need to draw a quick and simple diagram to complement your thought. The other is where you're creating a slide deck for a feature design, and you create a diagram to be copied in one of the slides.

For Miro (or LucidCharts), there's friction to start drawing right away. You need an account to use the app, and making an account is surprisingly cumbersome in a few cases. For example, if your org doesn't have Miro linked with your company SSO, then it would be hard to start using your personal account to draw company-related IP (technical diagrams). In addition, if your org does have Miro linked with SSO, we've heard cases where you need to request access to that app through an IT ticket, which can take a day or two. That’s why we decided to move the SSO stage to the point of long-term storage, rather than at the beginning when you're just using the app.

Assuming you have an account though, there's friction in going to Miro and creating a new board, or using an existing board which may be a messy (kind of like a scratch pad). We personally see the value of being able to open something up from inside a Slack convo or go on a web page, and have a new canvas where you can start drawing right away.

There's some other small UX things that we didn't like. Eg. no easily discoverable keyboard shortcut to access common shapes, not being able to connect arrows to rectangles other than the 4 points prescribed, having to click twice to add a new type of shape.

However, Miro is a fantastic tool and has super cool features for those heavier workflows (templates, tons of integrations, commenting). We just didn't find it as suitable for those 2 lighter cases that I mentioned.

Curious as to what your students are using Miro for?

Curious about the use of SparkPool to bypass the mempool and get the transactions minted directly into a block. It looks like anyone can sign up and contribute their hashrate to SparkPool. Is there a risk of malicious miners running workers in their competitors' pools and then frontrunning?

Great job on the product! I was also very impressed with the support on slack channel, you guys rock!

One thing that I found confusing is that there is no clear explanation of the differences between the editions. Your answers are very clear and explain things nicely, but I would expect this information to be available on your site. Just a thumbs up. Keep up the good work!
I think you're mischaracterizing the classical liberal consensus. That was best represented by John Stuart Mill, and his main point was not that censorshop will be used as a weapon -- it's simply that censorship infringes on liberty, and that the best cure for bad speech is more speech.

And the idea that the "general consensus" is against all forms of censorship is quite false. In America it is, but in Europe and other countries censorship of hate speech (e.g. racism, Nazism, etc.) is quite accepted as part of the general consensus.

And even in the US, "yelling fire in a crowded movie theater" isn't protected either. And arguably, spreading blatant viral lies on social media close to an election is akin to yelling fire in a crowded movie theater, since the national consequences could be so dire.

There are many intelligent arguments to be made that censorship of speech that is either a) primarily hate-directed rather than information-directed, or b) outrageously false but capable of swinging an election, could be outlawed, and neither of these would be incompatible with modern-day political liberalism, which is more commonly called "social democracy" to distinguish it from the classical liberalism that Mill did so much to defend.

And the idea that this would somehow depend on an "oracle of truth" is nonsense. Courts judge things like libel and defamation cases all the time. Sure, there are gray cases that could go either way, but drawing lines in gray areas is what courts have done ever since they existed in the first place. Holding Facebook moderators ultimately responsible to judges, for example, isn't inherently difficult to do if we wanted to.
I am not an advovate for crypto by any means, but this is false. There are some Wall Street level investors out there.

What kind of inspection? The App Store review is not that in-depth and has frequently let through many apps that were leaking private details.

And again, how does this affect iOS system level privacy settings and protections? App permissions and warnings don't change.

The new Timescale License doesn't only restrict AWS, it restricts anyone not Timescale from offering management services for the Timescale Licensed code. It restricts customers who find that Timescale is unable or unwilling to support them in an agree-able manner from paying some one else to manage it for them.

All that is fine and dandy- it is clear that Timescale is open-core, with an Apache-licensed core and proprietary components, just like gitlab and other products. (Timescale is a bit more generous with their proprietary code, though, so that's nice).

I will stick with strongly favoring building on open source code, myself, despite this generous offer of no-fee license to use their proprietary software.
I don't like this framing of liberals trying to censor conservatives. That's not the root of the problem. The problem is that Facebook is full of misleading or outright false content (both right and left leaning) and it is polarizing America at an unbelievable pace. You could censor literally everything remotely conservative or liberal and it still wouldn't fix anything. The uncensored side would just radicalize even faster and the censored side would find some other platform to radicalize on.

I don't know how you fix this, but something needs to be done because civil discourse is just about dead and our society is ripping at the seams.

Fascist countries won't have to deal with this problem because they are intentionally polarized and there is a "correct" side to be taken by the social media companies.
And that is why HN is my favorite part of the net for about a decade now :)
Maybe in the future we could have accessible controls which are accessible for non-graphical interfaces such as screen readers and automated systems.
I had some other takeaways too:

-11% of the population would not disagree with a ridiculous claim (4% agree + 7% unsure)

-2 to 1 people when given a somewhat plausible event they have never heard of would be inclined to think its more likely false than true.

My main takeaway though is getting people's beliefs through polls is hard and you probably need to carefully craft multiple questions phrased in different ways while trying to avoid showing your bias to get a "true" result.
The absolute "freedom is simple, and restrictions are all bad" position is nonsense. Ignoring that there are people who would use their freedom to infringe on others is naive and childish.

If everyone has a gun, we aren't all safer, we're just all each at the mercy of whoever decides to pull the trigger first.

Let's say you have a game, say you are Ubisoft.

You distribute with Amazon Luna, I assume you get some sort of money, something like for every hour played on X game you get $0.0000005 or something silly like that. Basically you get a rough amount of money from people playing your game every month.

I fail to see how that is any different then a Steam or GameStop based distribution.

Which is...

You find a publisher, they setup and get all the boxes/discs/what ever figured you and every month you get a cheque of all your sales.

From a game developer point of view, it's the exact same.

Terminators
Ehh. I could see it either way. "I joke but also I'm serious".

Food is my second biggest expense (after ofc rent) - decent lunch is $15-$20 (more with delivery) in my area. For the summer I worked in MV, it was that for a mediocre lunch (nothing good nearby).

15 * 5 * 52 = $3,900. If the company covers it, it's pre-tax to me; if I cover it that's more like $7k out of my salary.

(Plus the time to wrangle colleagues and figure out where, transit time, etc)

Having food supplied? Actually of pretty substantial value, even if it's not on the level of, say, American health insurance.

(Plus, you know, I can buy a house if I don't spend $5 on coffee everyday!)
That's a really good analogy for algorithmic tweaks to your timeline to promote engagement. Replace incendiary content with drugs, and community/enriching content with... well, community and enriching activities... and it really does look like fb is doing its best to replicate the "empty cage with a bottle of heroin" environment on your phone.
Taxes made them pretty expensive.
F-Droid does not offer any form of payment, anyway. All the apps offered by F-Droid are open source and the majority of them ad-free, and it's honestly a fantastic resource for me. It actually has quite a lot of apps, including games, productivity tools, utilities, and other things. Something like this wouldn't be possible at all on Apple's platform.
They haven't been in the office since March iirc. If they were utterly dependent on this perk, they would literally be dead by now.

If you think they're spoiled for ever having this perk, using it, missing it, and/or complaining about its absence, I won't try to convince you otherwise. I agree it's something the vast majority of people never had, much less get to enjoy during the pandemic. I'm just adding some context which I thought you might be missing when describing it as "snacks".

Anyway, I'm going to shut up on the topic now, as it's not as important to me as content moderation. I don't work for Facebook and don't plan to (sorry, recruiter who emailed me yesterday), so their employee perks affect me only very loosely as they shape industry trends. In contrast, I think the content moderation has a surprisingly huge effect on everyone. Facebook is where a lot of people find the content that shapes their opinions. It may sway the US presidential election.
Thanks for bringing that point up! So just to reiterate for other people, the Hacker News link redirects to our landing page on Notion, which shows how to use a few features we thought would be useful to you (GDrive integration, Slack app etc.), and wanted to make sure that they were discoverable.

On a side note, Notion is also surprisingly good at quickly creating a simple landing page (easy formatting, gif support, collaborative editing, no code required)!
Rust 2021 Post
This reminds me of these slides on the Julia compiler and Zygote [1] that really impressed me at the time. Not only the compiler is incredibly smart, it also gives the programmer to a lot of tools to talk with it (the introspection macros, IR Tools, macros on AST, macros on IR - generated functions).

And maybe a little related, while traits are not a feature on the language, you can use this kind of compile-time optimizations to implement trait dispatch that the compiler will completely erase from the generated code, the so called holy traits [2].

Yes, hunting and gathering, the obvious result of not privatizing our water.
Yes. They would prefer to spend those trillions on "War on X" and bailing out constituents who vote for them...
The original problem was Amazon "leeching off their software without paying for it". If Amazon shares their changes (as the AGPL requires), then they're contributing, not leeching. If the problem is just that Amazon happens to use a product, or horror of horrors, offer a hosted version... I dunno, I just can't see what the issue is. Is every developer upset about people profiting off their work sending a monthly check to Linus Torvalds for using Linux, Apple for clang and/or GNU for gcc, and the maintainers of their distro of choice? Or is only their software that nobody else is allowed to make money off of?
SikuliX [1] perhaps? It's an image-based automation tool.

I'm sure if you surveyed people who believe in the "conspiracy" you would find opinions much more nuanced and not necessarily in complete agreement with it, like with anything. But of course the media likes to paint them with a broad brush, because it's easier than actually doing investigative journalism, and the pollsters get similar results, because they're not looking for nuance, they're looking to take a position and use statistics to justify it.

In this case the problem is constructing poor models and using them to understand the world; it doesn't have to be used to intentionally mislead, people often can use analogies to explain things to themselves and get it wrong.

Yeah, the "we stopped having standups!" is good click-bait, but simply letting people work on their own projects is always going to improve morale and productivity (if you assume the fun projects are aligned with the organization).
