> For instance, WE Charity is NOT a "for-profit" charity[0] as you claim. I could go on, but I have no desire to engage on specifics when the overall assertion is mostly true.

Actually your own cited source challenges this. You didn't dig far enough.[0,1] WE Charity transferred 7% of its revenue to Me to We, a for profit company that did the payouts to Trudeau's family. Charity Intelligence themselves found this very unusual. Unlike every other charity that they monitor, in fact. I guess it's okay for a not for profit to operate a for profit company to get around the rules then?

This isn't even a partisan thing, this is on WE Charity's wikipedia page.

Yeah, at this point climate change has kinda become nuclear fusion – always 10 years away from the end.

Not that we shouldn't do anything, because climate change is real. It would just be nice if people could stop being so fire and brimstone about stuff that turns out not to be the end of the world after all (like ACB getting confirmed to SCOTUS). The society that cried wolf.
This is nice!

I just implemented a pandas-like api for one of my projects, but I wound up building it on top of sortedcontainers: https://paramtools.dev/api/viewing-data.html

I almost swapped over to using Pandas Series like what you did, but I went with something (I think) is lighter weight.

It's cool to see what an alternative implementation might have looked like!
Is cable that common? Assuming you mean cable tv, it seems that at peak it was only just over half of all homes that subscribed and is falling. Presumably this is due to Netflix et al. However wiki numbers stop a few years back.

Yes, the 4 horseman of the infopocalypse. To put it bluntly, if your system can't protect criminals it can't protect regular users either.

Heaven forbid we expect the police to actually do their job without having to spy on all of us all the time. Is expecting competence from them so much to ask?
" I do think his strong opinions can be a source of much bigotry."

They're poor, not desert nomads. Monitors and desks can easily be found for reasonable prices. Lots of people have random desks and old computer monitors sitting around.
Yup. The same goes the other direction. The Babylon Bee has been fact checked a bunch of times because some liberals think it is fake news not satire. Whether it's a few, some, many, whatever is debatable, but seems like a general rule that people generally don't perceive satire to be satire when it doesn't match their preferred consumer choice of gaslighting mainstream media. It's hardly specific to liberals or conservatives.
Depends on time scale, suppose for argument no vaccine works, then these countries just have to have massive border control and limit travel massively as they are now.

There is no ‘they are much freer’ argument in the diverse states, because people are dealing with this thing in a huge diversity of ways. Some people have exactly the same life, but they wear a mask, no big deal...

Resume[PDF]: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19gs35FC1jDx_21nviloGsNG8N-w...

I am a student graduating with an MS in CS around March 2021 from Saarland University. I worked for 3+ years as an engineer before enrolling in a masters program, and I've managed to do a couple of research internships around Information Retrieval/NLP. If you are looking for a product-minded engineer with better-than-average machine-learning/research chops, I think I'm your guy :)

I felt there are several important things missing in the article, and things that not mentioned in the 160 comments so far.

AWS listed Rate are literally for small fish. Which is the stage you get your $100K / 1% of your Investment. In the 10x example, let say $1M, you should start asking for discount. And it could range anywhere from 20% to much higher. Compared to OVH which is already offering at a very low price. The price stays the same at scale.

Amazon are also going full steam ahead with their own ARM instances, and those offering are 20% cheaper listed already. And in many cases they even perform better per vCore than Intel. On x86 instances vCore is a Thread, while on ARM instances vCore is an actual Core. ( Assuming your Apps works with ARM. )

Network quality - OVH, DO, Linode, none of them are any where near as good as AWS in terms of Network connection speed, routing and capacity. And this is something you can recreate with other IaaS such as OVH.

All this brings AWS to a much lower multiple of OVH. And then you add up all the extra benefits such as easier to hire, Resume Driven Development, Asset vs Lease Tax Break / Financial Engineering etc.

I really do wish Google and Microsoft brings in more competition though. As the author mentioned he was surprised with no single monopoly. Because the market is growing faster than all of these HyperScaler can handle. Intel has been selling as many Server CPU as they could Fab them.
Well the world does not operate based upon what is comforting. I thought that it was obvious even before COVID-19 but people keep on missing this.

Why not blame the person who confirmed your husband's death at this point if accepting comfortable illusions of someone easy to punish is what we are doing? Without them you would still have some remote hope of survival!

The first step of solving a problem is recognizing the actual problem - what we find comforting is only a distraction for rationalization purposes. Better to recognize that microscopic organisms caused the crop failure instead of burning an old woman as a witch.

No, the RIAA notice is on pretty solid ground in the U.S.

You'll note that organizations like the EFF haven't weighed in on this like they normally do when content owners get overzealous with enforcing IP controls, nor have many of the usual IP law commentators.

And more importantly, the youtube-dl creators would have already filed a response if the RIAA notice was as week as so many people in this thread have claimed; they've had a week to do so. The fact that they've yet to respond indicates that either they or the lawyers they've spent the last week talking to are having difficulty finding a response to the RIAA's notice. (This doesn't mean that they won't file a notice, just that the issue is not a piece of cake like so many people on HN believe.)
I think dependent types are stronger than refinement types because they can encode types that don't necessarily have to be decidable. Refinement types are used for creating subsets of a type, while dependent types can be used for creating arbitrary types based on values. As a result, dependent types are more powerful, but they might be too much if all you need are some constraints on an existing type.

Evidence of Trump's racism. He has been racist for a long time.

"Divisive sure (most politicians of note are),"

Has any other President actively tried to harm states he didn't like? Trump has.
Thanks. I will check this out.
Meta: that's a very random backslash in the title, very confusing in my opinion.

It's just an abbreviated "with" so should be a forward slash ("w/") or, better imo, written out in full.

EDIT: And also "opps" isn't a very good way to abbreviate "operations", is it?
Koenigsegg’s production list is capped, yes, but it doesn’t require a pre-existing relationship.

I work with a group of people who have built a car sharing club. I procured a Jesko production slot for the club and I have no existing relationship with Koenigsegg, nor any similar relationships with any major super or hypercar manufacturers.
not the OP but absolutely. if you're lucky you already live in a city with trees, not all of us are.
Appreciate the attempt at engagement, but precision is not seen as helpful for "that kind" of discussion.

Ultimately, "you do you" is as much resolution as can reasonably be expected, down such a rabbithole.
Glad you are having fun backing up other people that are wrong too.
GP made 5 fairly reasonable claims about EVs today. You counter by asserting that his arguments are "very outdated" citing as evidence an article that predicts sometime in the future 2 of the 5 claims will be around parity and a Tesla claim that a third may achieve parity sometime unspecified in the future.

Sometime in the future, some of those arguments might be outdated, but they don't strike me that way now.

We still will have EVs with limited range and a lack of universal charging infrastructure. (I say this as the overall happy owner of a LEAF, but it's a bit of a toy rather than a car that I can rely on for all of my travel needs, relying on my wife's car and aircraft for distance travel and using the LEAF only around town.)

By default yes, but you can enable overflow checking in release mode (it’s a conf / compiler flag), and it has standard functions for checked, wrapping, and saturating ops.
> server side application

Certainly you understand my general sentiment, yes? Which is that the project page does not attempt to specifically define itself; Rather it assumes the reader understands it's purpose.

Server side application alone is a useful enough specifier.

The only relevant word in it's first few paragraphs is "stack" which has been claimed by the Web people ("full stack developer").

This is analogous to American's omitting the specifier that
"America" because they assume all of their readers are also American.

I think the basic sin here is trading specificity for elegance. Your readme is very elegant, but it's not very informative for people from outside your target domain. This will include students and beginners to your target domain, which will ultimately hurt your adoption.

My point can be summed up as this:

"go-to template for the perfect stack" is jargon that only has meaning for a narrow subset of your audience.

"Perfect" is also overselling this thing. I respect tools that give me a clear idea of when to use it, and when not to.

This slogan ultimately says "Stator is a template"

What is a template? That term is far too overloaded to be useful.

I'd call this thing "an opinionated starting point for modern web applications". The most informative section of the document is the "Technical Stack" section.

Now what I'm trying to figure out is what aspect of this thing is not "glue" that holds these pieces together? Is it all glue?

Just to be clear, I think this repo has tremendous value. I'm giving you my stream of consciousness feedback in an effort to help you understand what the average developer's immediate response to this page is.

I think if you sent this link to any random developer on slack, their first response would be "what is it?". I think your readme can do a bit better job answering that question.
Or, you know, you could have brought in a consultant part time. If you're small enough that you can handle an AWS setup without someone full time, you could run on a managed hosting setup for less including an external consultant charging ridiculous hourly rates.

Clients on AWS were always my best ones, because they were used to paying so much over the odds I could set my rates much higher.
Is there any known about viability of all these planted trees? What percentage of them "make it"?

Anecdotally, I've seen a good portion of trees planted near other wooded areas not make it for one reason or another.

I think the planters had already lost trees in the past to deer, because they had plastic guards around the stalks.

However, many only lived for a couple of years and dried up. It makes me sad to think about it.
You do, you probably just aren't willing to pay for them.
The world is poorer without Dan Kohn. He has improved the world in so many different ways. He was always kind and thoughtful to others.
I think the most interesting datapoint to have come from global covid lockdowns is just how little the world is contributing to greenhouse gases compared to china.

I'm skeptical of this. Are you saying there's a forest somewhere that's giving people asthma attacks?
> Hundreds (thousands?) of healthy people gets the flu in the US every year and die from it.

Way off! Tens of millions catch and tens of thousands die from the flu every single year in the US. And that's with a vaccine! You probably didn't know that though because news stations don't have rolling infection and death counters going 24/7 during flu season.
I mean, Barrett was sworn in less than a week ago. Regardless of how you feel about her, it's far too early to make any kind of judgement about the implications of her confirmation.
An 8 year old kid with non-technical parents is not going to have an easy time of it compared to what is essentially a plug-and-play solution.

And I'm talking about households that literally do not have computers. There is no old hardware lying around, much less not just a keyboard & mouse, but the HDMI adapter, SD card, ability to apply the Raspbian OS image to the SD card, etc. Sure, search craigslist or similar, ask friends/family, you might get by. That's not a scalable solution for 1,000 kids in my school district that lack resources, much less the thousands more in surrounding districts. As with many technical problems, scaling is a challenge, not the single one-off solution.
You have to turn it on. In the options, there are several "Annoyances" blocklists (AdGuard Annoyances, Fanboy's Annoyances, uBlock Annoyances) that do this. Turn them all on for best results.
I work at a company that markets itself as a "premium IT service provider", and I think our cheapest VM is maybe 3x to 5x what the equivalent OVH or Digital Ocean VM costs.

What you get, is:

* actual humans to talk to, when things go wrong

* hosting in central Europe, without dubious ownership structures

* you actually get the VM specs you payed for, no overbooking of hypervisors

* colocation in the same datacenters as the VMs.

* custom deals. If you pay enough money, you can install cages with your own access control in our datacenters.

* architecture support and consulting

* you can visit our datacenters if you really want

* lots of certifications that will make your compliance department happy

* if the auditors come to you, and request access protocols to your servers, we can provide those

... and so on.

Why do I list all that? Because cost is just one aspect to consider, and some business have good reasons to optimize for other aspects.

Some value flexibility in their service provider, some value physical proximity, some value constant contact persons over multiple years.
we should made labels by hashing publicly registered semi-precise definitions, and maybe add markers to indicate how closely what we mean fits said registered definition of the label.

(I don't actually think this is what people should do, but I do think it might be a cool expirament.)
I have not meant to sound apocalyptic, just wanted to say that after that time frame natural positive feedback loop of CO2 will take over and there is not chance of reversing, at that point it is big unknown.
But it will be very difficult for billions to survive as crops will start failing on regular bases, floods etc...
Thats a really good question. My money is on NO.
Definitely need to consider spikes in demand too. A perfect example of this was covid 19 supply shocks. Supply chains got a lot better at just in time delivery and didn’t keep much back stock, but with covid this broke down when everyone went out shopping to stock up for lockdown and work from home.

Edit: s/panic shopping/shopping/
I am not. In the developed world there's comparatively little chance that a school district or national education system could afford about $100 per head for a rollout of RPi 400s but not the say $240 or so per head (being pretty conservative) for a rollout of clamshell devices instead. Especially since you'll make some of that $140 back just by avoiding the technical support costs of helping families get the computers working with a zoo of BYOD HDMI TVs. Meanwhile in the developing world the assumption that everyone has at least one HDMI HDTV at home goes out the window. The original comment mentioned a supply issue with Chromebooks, but it seems unlikely that something like the RPi 400 is going to be much more secure against supply disruptions than a clamshell laptop.
CSS is already tree shaken and minified though. What are you expecting specifically?
It seems that predictive modelers seem to often come to conclusions that put them in the spotlight and elevate the status of their field of research.

It it probably more fair to say that scary models get more attention and thus incentivize scary modeling though.
Can someone peel out all the spyware-bullshit and still make it work?
