My personal opinion: There is no inside-the-US view on that, it changes based on the filter bubble you and your peers live in. The party in power is still in power and did a pretty good job making it harder to find out what is an actual fact and what is an alternative fact, so it takes more time and willingness to verify any claim. Instead it comes down to perception, beliefs and tribe behavior.
Since you seem knowledgable and I'm not an AWS customer... Can you confirm the general workings of the Network Load Balancer?

It seems like it's basically doing NAT to take client:port <-> server:port to client:port <-> instance:port, including adjusting instance NAT mappings so the outgoing traffic gets NATed back?

Sort of like direct server return load balancing, but weird because the instance doesnt see the service IP and NAT takes care of it, somehow?

In that case, yeah, you either need to have a rfc1918 service address mapped for each public service address or just use the public address.

Elsewhere in thread, it sounds like it's possible to set this up using the public address but kubernetes doesn't like that; in which case, it seems appropriate to fix kubernetes.
People will actually fly in from China to go to that mall in Delaware and buy cases of phones. They used to pay local college kids to go get them (because there was a limit), but then the store just got rid of the middle man and allowed them to buy in bulk.
I use an app on my phone where I can set the inhale, exhale and pause times, as well as the ramping down time, and I find when I want to relax I can quite easily get down to 3 breaths a minute.
It's a term people use to either be funny, or it's because they're somehow offended that people from USA use the demonym "American" even though there are other countries in the Americas, yet despite the fact that no one else in those countries seems to care because they have their own demonyms they use.

The former are just having a laugh, and the latter are looking for things to be offended by.

I don't know which camp the GP falls into but I'll be charitable and assume they're just being silly.
FreeBSD 2020 Q3 Status Report
One cycle.
Second that. What did you think of that book, btw? Not very impressed, personally. Lots of anecdata and pretty incredible claims.
TLDR; the author likes this tiny city car, but doesn’t like that it fundamentally competes not with other cars, but with biking and transit. For the sake of climate and city life, society should be moving the other direction (away from cars towards bikes and transit).

I don’t disagree with the authors take on where we want cities to go. However I do not share the concern that this tiny car makes the problem worse.

My reasoning is, the battle to reduce the role of cars in cities is fundamentally cultural, at least in democratic societies.

I think the rising number of “in-between” mobility options like this is a huge asset in the culture shift. Forget about the weather, the infrastructure, etc. The bigger problem is ability and laziness.

Modern cities are simply too big for walking across in a time-efficient manner. But as most people have noticed, assuming one can safely bike, the bicycle enormously improves the radius that a person can conveniently access without the space consumption of a car.

But what I think idealists, especially young idealists, really have a hard time relating to, is what a small percentage of humans can really get around by bike as their primary mode.

Adults over 30 represent the bulk of the population, and a very large percentage of these folks (including myself) are physically limited either by health condition, by age, by injury, or even just by being very out of shape. A person in that condition may smile at the bike lanes and think they look like fun, but also sadly think to themselves “I could never do that.”

As long as this large and politically dominant chunk of the population feels excluded, going bike-first isn’t going to happen.

But this is where e-bikes, scooters, and “quadricycles” like the Ami are so valuable. Anyone who depends on driving could drive one of those. And shifting to smaller, lighter, slower vehicles improves safety for everyone else. It also reduces the demand for things like giant parking lots that so wreck the urban fabric.

I think anything that creates more options in the middle make the transition easier to accept and embrace. And anything that makes more people feel welcome and included in the shift away from car-centric cities helps reduce opposition and make the next increment of change politically feasible.

I know it isn’t as exciting or glamorous as jumping all the way to the final destination in one go, but incremental steps like this are generally how true progress happens. So I, for one, am excited about the Ami, and the general rise in micro-mobility options it represents.
EDIT: Removed the reference to SimpleJdbcTemplate.

A good alternative (if you are using Java) is to use something like Spring's JDBCTemplate. This provides the following benefits over using Hibernate/JPA:

1. You craft the queries yourself and so there is no intermediate ORM language which you need to use.

2. It parameterises the queries so that you don't have to append strings to get to the final query.

https://dzone.com/tutorials/java/spring/spring-simple-jdbc-t...

<code>

@Override
public void insertForum(Forum forum) {

String query = "INSERT INTO FORUMS (FORUM_ID, FORUM_NAME, FORUM_DESC) VALUES (?,?,?)";

jdbcTemplate.update(query, forum.getForumId(), forum
.getForumName(), forum.getForumDesc());

}

@Override
public Forum selectForum(int forumId) {

String query = "SELECT * FROM FORUMS WHERE FORUM_ID=?";

return jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(query, new ParameterizedRowMapper<Forum>() {

@Override

public Forum mapRow(ResultSet resultSet, int rowNum) throws SQLException {

return new Forum(resultSet.getInt("FORUM_ID"), resultSet.getString("FORUM_NAME"),

resultSet.getString("FORUM_DESC"));

}

}, forumId);

}

</code>

3. It fetches only the columns that you need it to fetch and across multiple tables (if need be) without fetching the "relationships" between tables unnecessarily.

The example given below shows how to use RowMappers and to fetch only the columns you need:

<code>
String query = "SELECT FORUM_ID, FORUM_NAME, FORUM_DESC FROM FORUMS WHERE FORUM_ID=?";

return (Forum) jdbcTemplate.queryForObject(query, new Object[] { Integer.valueOf(forumId) },

new RowMapper() {

public Object mapRow(ResultSet resultSet, int rowNum) throws SQLException {

return new Forum(resultSet.getInt("FORUM_ID"), resultSet.getString("FORUM_NAME"),
resultSet.getString("FORUM_DESC"));

}

});
I can agree that funding journalism is important. I'd love more government funded work like PBS and NPR. I just see it as independent of this context.
> "These days they seem to just repeat hyper-partisan viewpoints ad infintum."

But that's only because everything is hyper-partisan these days. Even science. Or facts. Or the idea of an objective reality. It's impossible to be non-political in this kind of political landscape.

And civil liberties have always been political to some extent.
This looks interesting!

I think the approach where a typed subset of Python is used to compile a fast extension module is the way forward for Python. This would leave us with a slow but dynamic high-level-variant (CPython) and typed lower-level-variant (EPython, mypyc & co) to compile performant extension modules, which you can easily import into your CPython code.

The most prominent of such projects I know of is mypyc [0], which is already used to improve performance for mypy itself and the black [1] code formatter. I think it would be interesting to see how EPython compares to mypyc.

While it's hard to be confident that one's information is not misleading for any political topic in the US, yes, your perception does appear to be the case. It is seen as a huge scandal by the minority of people who both consume news and are not on the same side of the political aisle that the story casts a shadow on, but that's how everything works on both sides (not to say both sides commit equivalent sins).

I don't know. To me there is a fundamental difference between something that needs more work and something that is shit. Maybe it's just a perception thing since writing is so malleable compared to other mediums where there is no fixing anything (eg: watercolor).
This very much depends who you know; I know of several people at the friends-of-friends level who've either been in hospital for long periods and/or have "long covid"; lingering symptoms of fatigue or worse. Young people, not over-65s.

Like a lot of things, the badness is very unevenly distributed.

(I also remember, very early on in the crisis, lots of news footage of coffins in Italy; that seemingly stopped once the crisis reached the UK)
> Sounds like security theater.

I think a bit of security theater is exactly what's called for in this scenario.

This isn't like hacking into a computer network, or bringing an explosive onto an airplane, where one dedicated bad actor can defeat the system for everyone. It's much closer to something like shoplifting, where your goal is to make instances of bad behavior as low as possible, given other constraints. A security camera does not need to be 100% effective to be worth installing—and doesn't even necessarily need to be turned on.

A remotely-administered multiple-choice test is like a retail store without any staff, which asks customers to kindly leave money in a basket. You're much better off with even a single cashier, and even one who spends most of their day watching Netflix.

Its the pandemic. Some of these states are as liberal as they come: California and Maryland. Other states are Red, but still are taking the pandemic seriously.

Instead of having many places open at once during election day, states are preferring the safer route, of having weeks of "early voting", to spread out the crowds.

> Exclusive VICE News analysis shows a 20% cut in election locations nationwide, and much deeper cuts in California, Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey, Nevada and North Dakota.

There's no ideological similarities between these states. The fear of the pandemic crosses party lines.
Cool! Thanks for the links.
I don't really agree with this take and I think it's highly over-simplified. The ACLU used to be the organization that defended the really unpleasant people and popularized ideas like, "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it." They had a lot of responsibility.

Today they are basically indistinguishable from Huffington Post with a law firm attached.
Sorry then. I had read something anti-foss the other day (probably on Reddit) which seemed to have a hidden agenda behind it like in the old days. As far as having a “it just works” experience- sticking with the Lenovo and Dell professional lines has worked out pretty well for me.
Here in Brazil people think tax is theft, and that avoiding taxes is moral...

Problem is, often they are not wrong, there is massive government corruption, and taxes are often used for unethical and wrong things, meanwhile actual services are often paid by the population themselves.

For example: my family pay all our business and whatnot taxes correctly, because we don't want to get dragged into a crime spree (if you are avoiding taxes you open yourself to extortion, and from extortion to other crimes...), yet my parents paid my education until I was 18, I paid my own education after that, the street in front of our house, we bought it, literally (was crazy expensive too since our house is in a corner). The phone lines? We also paid for that, when we moved in there was no phone in the neighbourhood, but since we had a business we needed phone, so we paid people to install the cables for us. Deliveries? All done with private companies, the public service is crap. Police? We often pay private security, all times we had to call emergency, it didn't work (in one egregious case: we told the cop someone broken in violently in a neighbour house, the cop replied on the phone, literally: oh sorry, my shift today has few people, and we don't want to risk our lives, so we won't go), fire? Same shit, calling for the firefighters worked ONCE for me, and was because the road itself was on fire, all otehr attempts failed, many they didn't even picked up, my parents house did got damaged because of it (someone tried to burn trash in a field behind the house, it burned our backyard that was full of fruit trees, and burned a neighbour house down, and damaged a ton of other houses). Health? Well, that is one thing that works more or less right... still most of my healthcare I paid for it, the government healthcare is prone to make stupid mistakes and kill people for stupid reasons (for example the hospital nearest my house killed a guy by giving him insulin AFTER he warned them he was allergic, they didn't believed him and though he was some kind of conspiracy anti-vaccer nut and was using allergy as excuse).

And the list goes on, and on, and on.

Whenever I argue against taxes, people reply with a list of: "Oh, you don't use X?" and then I reply: "Yes, I use it, and pay it as a private service" the only thing I don't pay a private service for, is the military.
The Hummer brand signals military machismo with emphasis on isolationist individualism and little to no regard for the environment.

An electric Hummer counters that brand signaling in unexpected and, for me, surprisingly welcome ways. Converting a large gallons-to-the-mile ICE to an emissions-free electric drive train shows a willingness to cannibalize a previously successful marketing brand with a more responsible offering.

Ideally, the EV Hummer would offer comparable or better performance than the ICE, though achieving such will likely take further research and investment.

Such manufacturing and marketing moves, though late in coming, are laudable and I sincerely hope such companies blow through their wildest sales projections in the EV market.
Dude in this thread itself people were riffing on Steve Jobs, one of the most successful CEOs in the history of America. In light of such a thing, I am inclined to think your call for proof is disingenuous. You are asking for a meta analysis of something which might be possible but nobody would do it.
ACLU knows that they've been politicized externally. This messaging is a funding strategy, not necessarily related to their actual legal advocacy.

> So I can just buy one "poisoned" bitcoin and send a tiny fraction of it to every public address I can find. Now the entire network is poisoned.

Only if these tiny fractions are actually used. When you send something to a Bitcoin address, what you are actually doing is creating an unspent transaction output which can only be spent by that Bitcoin address. Nothing prevents the wallet software from ignoring that tiny fraction and instead using a larger unspent transaction output to the same address, which would result in a smaller transaction (one input instead of two, since the tiny fraction most probably wouldn't be enough for the transaction).
I'm not opposed to your view, though it calls to mind that many with the money to pay fines don't look at those activities as bad/illegal/criminal, but simply taxed (as you say).

I'd prefer we did away with the 'crime' aspect of it all and just say "you can park anywhere in the city you want -- designated or not -- for about $1000/hr, and after 10 hours or more, your car may be moved to a more secure location for storage at a service fee of another couple $1000". If we're supposed to be a capitalist society, I'd think we could be honest about it and just hang price tags on behavior communities don't want but that don't belong in any book detailing the punishments for various kinds of murder.

In the limit, if you're describing something with no grounding in physics, you need magic. But you can make this magic very much constrained. There's a fundamental difference between "fusion reactors that are absurdly efficient for magical reasons" and "FTL drives that work by magic". A difference in the level of abstraction, if you like. The more lower-level your magic, the bigger and more interesting the network of potential consequences. And also the easier to keep universe self-consistent - because you have small-scale axiom, and large-scale rules are extrapolations using real-world physics and reasoning.
It's not intrinsically, however linking to spurious allegations (like Pizzagate) seems to be a rightwing tactic. Actual substantial allegations (qv Maxwell/Epstein) seem to be less partisan.

I think that auto manufacturers are desperate to prove that an electric car isn't a little wimpy thing. Tesla proved that it can be a great sporty car and family SUV. Now they all want to win over the demographic of people who want a heavy duty truck, and prove to them that they don't need a heavy noisy stinky diesel to do it.

A lot of that demographic associate that noise, vibration, and smell with power, and think that electric vehicles can't provide that same performance and feeling of handling. A lot of them feel that electric drive will only work efficiently for smaller vehicles, or that electric implies lightweight or small or otherwise not heavy duty.

Of course manufacturers want to prove them wrong, and try to get all demographics interested in electric vehicles. Electric trucks would be great for utility companies.

Helped a buddy who wanted to sell a HTPC box, based on a mini-ITX board in a neat small case. The motherboard he'd picked had IR remote support, and it would be running XBMC.

Main problem was mainly price, as it often is. No way it could have approached the price of my NVIDIA Shield TV box.

But he did make a few and sold it to people he knew.

I helped him automate the Linux install and setup, so he could just drop a txt file with owner details and the image on a USB stick and boot from it to install a new box. This became my first exposure to XBMC, which I liked quite a lot.

If your customers are behind CGNAT, and you have a good number of them, it would be pretty easy to run into collisions. CGNAT doesn't have any problem using the same source ip:port for connections to different destination ip:port, because there's no reason not to.

I agree though, that most OS stacks are very conservative about using the same source ip:port for connections to anything else. It works ok until you need to make lots of connections, then you have to manage ports in userspace.
true, but in deep meditation breath tends to slow down quite dramatically. It's not a case of "hold for 4", more just a natural rhythmic slowdown.

> A script that calls a piece of software is not a derived work.

Probably not, but it is "Corresponding source" in the AGPL license.

> Otherwise, all build systems that have ever been used with GCC would have to be GPL-licensed.

No, because:

1. AGPL is not GPL. GPL doesn't have the concept of "corresponding source". AGPL does.

2. Build systems were not built for the purpose of building software X, they were built for building any software. In other words, a completely freestanding source code that can ONLY link with the Linux kernel IS in scope for GPL, as derivative work. E.g. see legal status of out-of-tree binary kernel modules.

Or another comparison: Your LD_PRELOAD library that overloads write() will work with any software, and therefore is not derivative work. Your LD_PRELOAD that is made only for a GPL tool does in fact link with it, and probably (don't know if there's a court case on this yet) does mean it's GPL.

Your script that can only be used to launch an AGPL software thingy IS "corresponding source" and/or (could be both, a court has not tested this) "derivative work". It's certainly not neither, and therefore it falls under AGPL and must be published.
I prefer Youessians.
I am mostly disappointed where this all ended up, especially with Netflix. The HTPC movement was all about serving up our bought content at top quality. Nowadays you don't own any content, you rent it all and its all streamed at poor bitrate with often worse audio options than what we had 20 years ago. Netflix instead of freeing existing content and spreading it across the globe ended up copying the cable company production of its own content and isolating that content to its own platform model to be sold with a monthly rental along with all its other content you don't want.

Very little of what the early HTPC movement and Jellyfin/Kodi are today has made it into the official streaming services and its every bit as geolocked as cable services were. Netflix is cable on the internet, none of the devices today are anything but multiple cable devices served over the internet, they share very little in principles with the early HTPC movement. DRM has become ever more prevalent in TV and movies not less.
