Maybe as many times as needed to do the minimal in-solar-system observations that were planned well in advance?

On the other hand, if they had to budget for a second copy of everything in advance they may have never gotten to launch. Asking for the funding after already having good success behind them is likely a lot easier.

The worst is the highly one directional connections too. Sure I have a gig down. I have 25mbps up though. The upload is the same for every package from 300mbps down and above. I'd happily have less download for more upload.
I think you're confusing the preferences of a woman and the preferences of women. It should be perfectly normal for either mother or father to stay home with their kids if they want and that preference should be respected absolutely.

But then you have to zoom out a little bit and ask why you see so few men become stay at home fathers or househusbands compared to women and is the explanation a problem? Why don't men feel like they can be homemakers or take on the primary caregiver role for their kids? Why do so many women take on those roles? If the answer is really always voluntary preference then maybe it's not an issue but that's unfortunately not the case and the pressure and judgement imparted by society for people to conform to their "roles" creates this dynamic and is bad for everyone.
> The Democratic party platform explicitly talks about removing barriers to municipal broadband as a goal, which is the only way you are going to get competition where ISPs have a monopoly. At least in the current landscape where it's cost-prohibitive for a competitor to enter a region.

It's only "cost-prohibitive for a competitor to enter a region" because of build-out requirements which are broadly supported by Democrats. I used to live in Baltimore, where Verizon wanted to come in and compete with Comcast. The city refused to let Verizon come in and compete. Then they put out an RFP that basically sought bids for ISPs to come in and provide universal service for free. Nobody took Baltimore up on the offer.
At which point the more common question will become "what's with the sign?", and the sign may become the bigger source of concern.

You might instead consider asking people why they're asking, and figuring out ways to promote more widespread understanding.

Concretely: you might actively promote adblockers and tell people why they should use them. And rather than saying "we don't use tracking cookies", you could explain "here's why so many sites have cookie banners, here's why we don't".
There is no level 5.

It is clear that the earlier claim "under 2% of Americans read beyond a grade 12 level" is not true, and not what your supporting links actually say. It's absolutely clear that your speculation "Odds are than under 1% could read that [Prezi's] terms of use and actually understand it." is both not true and dramatically pessimistic.

Yes, legalese is dense. Hardly anyone reads it because it takes a lot of time, not because nobody is capable. How many people read below a 12th grade level (whatever that means) are using Prezi in the first place?

I'm just pointing out that your initial interpretation of the data was off by an order of magnitude.
I would love to have something like Alipays integration here in Canada or in any western country.

They truly are doing something with technology that isn’t found anywhere in the west. Part of which is also due to WeChat penetration and coverage. But few western countries let you do so much with just a smartphone as China.
I've been overall disappointed with GH actions. Their YAML format lacks the ability to reuse common bits of configuration so you just need to copy/paste it all over. Our project has minitest tests, rspec tests, and another type of tests. All the setup/boiler plate needs to be copied to job section, and kept in sync.

Each test run depends on a huge number of 3rd party services being up. It pulls in docker images (DockerHub) and ubuntu packages (wherever the Ubuntu packages come from). It requires various azure services to be running (to use their cache and artifacts actions). It depends on github being up of course. Test runs fail multiple times per month because one of these services is down at the time the tests run.

Until recently their cache action was often slower than just rebuilding the assets from scratch without the cache.

The only compelling reason to switch to gh actions from any other CI service I've used is to reduce costs. you get what you pay for.
At this point I mostly view C# as an "unsafe" F# for all practical engineering purposes. With some amount of discipline, one can drive a very functional C# codebase and fall back to imperative regimes when it makes sense to do so.

Most of our platform infrastructure code is imperative, but as you get higher up in the abstraction hierarchy, you will start to see more things declared as functional or data-driven. We would really like for everything above our service/platform layer to be functional, but there are some areas where it is a better engineering choice to go imperative (at least for now).

I have always thought of imperative vs functional as a very mutual thing. The imperative code is the glue between your fictional/business reality (functional world) and the real world (CPU/OS/Networks/etc). Functional code can serve as a perfect model of the business if the imperative code (platform) supporting it is well-engineered.

That's great, but sharing my experience was not a call for others to add their own experience or to critique mine. If you want to share, please share on the top-level comment.
The real lesson here is that "number of parameters" is not a useful measure of information content. The only useful measure of information content is information entropy, which is the logarithm of the number of distinguishable states. The base of the logarithm is arbitrary, but by modern convention is invariably taken to be 2. The resulting unit is the bit.
Because traditional media is owned/owns the ISPs. This means MSM will never talk about it and therefore it will never be an issue politicians or voters will care about.
To be fair the web of the early 2000s was full of ads too. I remember a time when people still used Yahoo as their homepage which was basically just a giant ad delivery platform with even more invasive ads than we have today. That's not to say that today is much better. It seems like most sites today try to walk the line between ad revenue and user retention.
"Low interest rates benefit only the asset rich."

If you want to get more speed out of an engine, you need both more gasoline and also more oxygen. If you change the amount of gasoline, without changing the amount of oxygen, you'll end up running too lean or too rich, and both conditions have negative consequences.

To boost economic growth it would be great to have both an increase in final consumption by the government, combined with moderation of interest rates. A combination of financial policy with monetary policy. But in the USA the Republicans have been sabotaging this simple process for decades. Final consumption by the government has stagnated, which has put the USA into a situation where it has had to lean much too much on monetary policy (low interest rates) to try pump the economy. This inevitably leads to distortions. The obvious way to fix the problem is to have the government increase the amount of final consumption that it is engaged in. Tax cuts do not help, what would help is an increase in final consumption, to directly drive economic growth and directly create jobs.
Low latency, low packet loss, high upload and download bandwidth, unmetered internet service is certainly a monopoly. None of this is possible with wireless. You're lucky if you live in a place with symmetric gigabit fiber service. There's only one provider. And quite frankly, there's no need to string multiple fibers to every house.

Everyone else has a subpar coaxial connection from Comcast/Cox/Spectrum.
We have better medical care for sure. I doubt our diet or lifestyle are healthier, other than that.
Exactly. Anti-fascism is not fascism. Fascism is evil and must be suppressed at any cost if we want to live in a peaceful society. Only a fascist would believe otherwise.
CopperheadOS is a proprietary fork of legacy GrapheneOS code with most of the legacy hardening dropped due to lack of proper maintenance and it includes no substantial hardening. It also includes tracking in the updater to enforce their subscription fees (which is an exorbitant amount of money by the way, $150 for 3 months).

It's now a scam project focused on attacking GrapheneOS and harassing developers, as evident throughout this very thread with their usage of sockpuppet accounts.

2 things

1. Why was this formed as classification instead of as regression? Seems much more like a regression problem (predict how many upvotes you will get given a reddit post)

2. Seems like it could have been effective with better pre-training. I'd love to see the author rerun the experiments with the likes of GPT-2 or other pre-trained models vectorizing the text first.
The big question is can free speech go too far? If I threaten to murder your family and "in my opinion" accuse you of horrible crimes--again in my opinion. When does it go too far. I am US Citizen living in Germany for over a year now, and I appreciate these laws.
I understand why this got posted and agree it relates to the broader problem but also worried that these type of comments will get this submission flagged. And I really don't want that since I think this should be discussed and known by the public.

Australia has also had more expensive internet than many countries including the US. This is because they had a huge telecom monopoly that locked down the market for decades.

Just because the same problem has happened in other places doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

How is this different?

If I can't view it, how do I know if I would consider it safe to make public?

I'd have to basically make it public, look at it, then choose to keep or delete. Which is pretty much exactly what they're doing right now.
I don't think it is irrational ot madness at all. Imagine having to switch developers and then you ask for analytics from your new developer. Very easy to happen that they could forget about the cookie banner.

I would go as far as to say it is wise to deal with it once and for all.

Especially since implementing the banner takes such short amount of time. Worrying about it will waste many times more brain cycles and once again there is always a chance someone forgets about it in the future and legal worries will be infinitely more costly.

Freedom of speech is not guaranteed in Germany. If it were, holocaust denial wouldn’t get people jailed.
Because it's a wall-of-text screed that's unlikely to lead to an interesting discussion on HN.
"stuff we don't like on the internet" is a very broad class of speech, far broader than the German law attempts to control.

We would really need to see examples of what the hate speech actually is that caused these people to get raided. Was it that the earth is flat? Was it that they believe Angela Merkel is incompetent? Was it that they want all Syrians and Jews to be rounded up and murdered?
By moving the 'meat' of the tests up high into the hierarchy, the author has just re-invented the testing ice cream cone with a different flavor.

In software, we can make pretty much any process work for 18 months, before it starts to fall apart. If you don't stay at a company for at least a couple of years after they start doing testing in earnest, you won't really see that what you're doing doesn't scale/isn't resilient to changing requirements.

I have watched so many people try to rescue deeply coupled integration or E2E tests and it's just painful to watch. It's a deadly cocktail of cargo culting and Sunk Cost Fallacy - we don't know for sure all the corner cases these tests cover, so we aren't going to delete them and lack the confidence to rewrite, so we'll spend all day trying to fix them, and if that doesn't work, we'll pair with someone for day 2 to get it fixed. That's 3 man days, for a handful of tests. I've seen it many times, on different teams, rarely are there enough other people noticing how crazy this is to stage an intervention. It's crazy.

A contributory reason to why fixing such tests takes so long is that they're so slow. Slow tasks have poor feedback loops. Testing, at least when done as part of CI/CD, is meant to provide fast feedback, and E2E tests fail at this (most especially at 18 months and beyond, where your E2E test is one of hundreds).

There's a physics and a psychology to the tiers in the testing pyramid that I meant to write up publicly but I don't think ever escaped a corporate wiki. Here are the Cliff's Notes, based on my own metrics but corroborated by the handful of people who've inspired my testing journey:

1) Moving tests down a tier reduces the power of the test, so you need more of them (about 5x)

2) Moving tests down a tier makes them much faster. (8x common, 10x best case, depending on framework)

3) The simplest tier of tests will be rewritten or deleted when requirements change. All other tests will be 'rescued', sometimes at great expense in time and energy.

Rules 1 & 2 create a pseudo-rule, the 5/8ths Rule. If you move a functional test to units, the same coverage will run about 30% faster in aggregate, and you will not have to provide ongoing support for those tests. That's a huge win. If you pull a test down 2 levels, they'll run 60-75% faster.
It is a tough line to walk. However, having seen in our own and other countries’ histories what happens when hatred is allowed to spread unchecked, we have decided that it‘s more important to slightly restrict one right (within tight bounds) than to risk that abusers of that right destroy the very democracy that gave it to them.
But they have been in place 100 years ago (before the Nazis came to power). How did that work out?

You can't go in to the real one. The real one was destroyed in 1687 when it was being used as a gunpowder depot(!), and then triggered by a mortar round.

They've been slowly rebuilding it over the last 50 years, but it's nowhere near done. It involves figuring out where each and every block goes, often undoing previous reconstructions. You won't be going inside it any time soon.

There are gift shops everywhere, of course, but I highly recommend the one at the Acropolis Museum (at the bottom of the hill). It does a great job of putting the site into historical and archeological context.
The Screeps detail seems like something that could be fairly easily pursued... there can't have been that many players of that game to begin with, let alone those that would care so much about it that they would journal their thoughts about it. A quick check of the GitHub repo doesn't show he contributed code, but might he have opened an issue, contributed to docs? Might there be someone who was active in the community somehow (maybe showing up on leaderboards) until 2017?

>But it did make me think about just how easy it is to farm karma on Reddit, and how useless it is as a proxy for "trust" or "reputation" or anything other than what it is - fake internet points.

I have to say, do people really take karma, upvotes, credit, fake internet points etc. As a measure of trustworthiness? I know reddit pushes this idea but do people actually participating in communities with point systems see those with high karma points or whatever as trustworthy?

Personally, i've always assumed people with high amounts of karma or stars are just people who've spent a significant amount of their lives on a site and participated a lot.

The Weimar Republic has hate speech laws and attempted to enforce them against Nazis. It merely drove more support to the Nazis.
You are definitely not the only one.

Nothing has put me off of Rust more than "Rust people". The same thing happened to me with Python over 20 years ago and I've successfully (and happily) avoided that language for over 20 years because of just how unbelievably, unstoppably "effervescent" Python people were in the late 1990s. If Python were 10% as good as those people said is was, it would be, by a wide margin, mankind's greatest achievement for the next 10 millennia.

I get the exact same vibe from "Rustaceans."
but...job creators...and trickle down...and bootstraps
It wasn't a law 76 years ago yet, but not sure you'd have preferred that Germany.
I can't significantly help you, but godspeed.
However the Weimar Republic was extremely politically weak and refused to enforce them.
Well it's one of the typical lawyer tricks. There is a paragraph in the constitution that explicitly grants you freedom of speech. There's also others that more or less say you get to jail for saying xyz. Unfortunately, law is not a program that has to compile.

Then put selective enforcement on top and you have a very powerful weapon that gets great PR ("against hate").
Well, in the US, you're likely to get shot, stabbed, or beaten up. "Scary" is relative here. Words aren't scary, getting shot at by criminals is. Oh and wait until you have an encounter with the Police in the US. There is a lot to take for-granted in Europe and Germany. Oh and 2 weeks vacation, typically well over 40 hours, and typically less concern over your work related stress.
This got so long I decided to split it in two:

It is important to note you can't pull all of the tests down. I tend to use a plumbing analogy that I probably have stolen from the literature or a mentor - It's likely that QA already tested all of the pipes at the factory before they were installed in your house. But every plumber will turn on the taps and flush the toilet at once before they leave, to make sure the stuff going in one end actually comes out the other (and only the other). Test all the bits in isolation, but always leave at least one happy and one unhappy path test going through the whole stack to make sure good and bad answers end up in the right place. I think here the pyramid analogy is a bit wrong, because in the pyramid there's a geometric reduction at each level, but I have a suspicion that in a best case scenario, you can achieve a log scale reduction (because your E2E tests can potentially reflect the height of the decision tree, rather than the surface area of a module)

Tests higher up the pyramid rarely if ever suggest, let alone demand API improvements. If the first person writes elaborate mocks instead of simplifying the design to not need them, they've locked in the implementation in a way that unit tests don't (Sunk Cost). This can turn a masochistic programmer into a sadist.

And that is the trap most of us fall into the first few times, and some never outgrow. It's easier to write greenfield E2E tests, but they're hell to maintain, and the create a codependent testing relationship, where the existence of the tests dissuades you from engaging in healthier activities. I almost think that you should ban E2E testing frameworks until the team has gotten comfortable with Unit Tests because of this. With E2E, you can get really far down the wrong road and find yourself in a blind alley that you now lack the imagination or conviction to escape, because everything else feels remedial. That is the main problem with unit tests - they feel like some sort of grade school activity. Doing something so simple feels like doing multiplication tables, which is kids work. I am a smart and functional adult, I shouldn't be doing something so boring. This is making me feel dumb.

It takes a special disposition to enjoy a simple task for what it is, and many software developers - myself included - were lured into software by the idea of automating any task that is so simple. Rarely do I let production code be so dominated by idioms with so little meat, so why do I enjoy that in tests? Honestly, I don't have an answer, except "better in the tests than in the production code," which is hardly an answer at all.

And importantly, all of these uneasy feelings are used as evidence by anti-testing people that it's too painful and too little gain and we should stop doing it. A form of learned helplessness.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of "serverless", though? I mean, I guess if that's how you like to structure your code then go for it, but the primary marketing pitch I've ever heard was around it, you know, absolving developers of the need to worry about servers.

I guess if you've got a large enough environment that you have dedicated devs pushing things to Kubeless/Knative instances maintained by dedicated ops/sysdmins, then maybe that's the niche there?
