Ok - fair enough - but people don't care about 'what tech is used' what they care about is the experience.

So if you can create a really powerful '3D experience' using simple tech, than that's wonderful. That said, if it's crappy or doesn't work well from angles or whatever then that's not good either.

But let's not get confused in arguing about 'what a real hologram is' - because that's now what we really want, what we want is the 3D there may be other ways to achieve it.
From my perspective the center in American politics has steadily shifted rightward since the Regan administration. As such the perception of what is extreme right was similarly shifted and what was once considered extreme right is mainstream. This is similarly to the idea behind the paradox of tolerance.

I suggest that if Trump has not lied enough, grifted enough, broken enough laws, or is not incompetent enough to dissuade people from voting for him then the country has gone too far down the path of tribal politics. Obama was a moderate Republican president by the standards of the 1970s and there are large numbers of Republicans who consider him extreme left.

When we shift the center too far to one side of the spectrum then this causes too many people to become unbalanced in their views as they look to the center as their guide. In my opinion this is what is happening in the United States.
GitHub action for Gatsby/Jekyll markdown validation

There is a difference between talking about a decentralized system, or about decentralized hosting of a centralized system. You are talking about the latter, but that is irrelevant if you have the former.

There is no "latest" version of a project in the decentralized model. As soon as there is one "latest" version that rules them all, you have centralized an aspect of the project and that immediately becomes a target for organizations like the RIAA. IPFS does not help here. Because in the end, someone must have the exclusive right to release a new "latest" version. This release mechanism becomes a single point of failure.

Sure, you can use use IPFS to create multiple copies of that new version to avoid having them taken down. But you also could just do `git clone` on a new server, as so many already have done. Creating copies and putting them up for download is not the problem.

If git is used in a true decentralized way, everybody has their own version of the project. No two have to be alike. Do you want to use youtube-dl to download porn, get the version with the right extension. Do you have moral objections to porn, get the version without them. Exactly like there is no "one" Linux, each distro has its own version, with the patches they think are important. This way, the RIAA could even release their own version of the tool. One that can download from Youtube, but not video's that are subject to the copyright they want to uplhold.

Users would not have download the tool directly from that one developer/team, they could download it from whoever they trust to have their best interests at heart. That is what decentralization means.

> I realized that it is all fundamentally unfair and biased

(apologies for the long post)

imho it's all about boundaries. You may have have a strong disagreement with a family member about a topic. But if they have a car accident you will drop everything there and then, and run to them, even if you 'hate' them for voting XYZ, or believing in Zeus or Ganesha. Silly example: when I donate blood, I don't care (EDIT: care = I am not concerned) about the religion, colour, nationality, etc of the person that will receive it. I do it to help save a life. Anyone who is a donor does it to save someone else's life.

It could be the case that your (vs your family/loved ones) lifestyles are fundamentally different i.e. you are married to a person of X religious persuasion, or Y nationality, or X colour. In which case, "hi, Boundaries, bye" and then THEY made the conscious choice to remove themselves from your life, and NOT the other way round.

In your example, (again imho) saying something anti-semitic bad, just like saying anti-black is bad, same like saying anti-(i.e.)-italian is bad, etc. I have written in this forum before, we all got 1000 reasons to dislike/separate and/or hate one-another (vegans vs meat-eaters, followers of Y religion vs followers of Z religion, ManU fans vs ManCity fans, and so on).

My definition of freedom is the following: your rights stop, where my rights begin, and my rights stop, where your rights begin. I know, this leaves a pretty large grey line. If I like Sepultura, I will use my headset but leave me alone, and I will leave you alone while you listen to your Spice Girls (using simple example to avoid passionate responses).

> I had to be careful not to voice opinions to keep good relationships.

The Minimalists say "you cannot change your friends, but you can change your friends". If you have to fake everything to be liked and accepted by a certain group, then perhaps withdraw yourself from that group? In the end it is your choice.
As I have tried to explain throughout my comments, I am referring to what the Dutch call a "step" - like what Bird has been putting in cities around the world. I am absolutely not talking about mopeds (small motorcycles).

I very much do not want motorycles or mopeds or even fast electric bikes (which can weigh nearly as much as the rider) on bike paths. A scooter/step weighs about 15kg, and more importantly, most of its weight is very close to the ground. It might knock your feet out from under you if it hit you, but it won't crush your ribs or head unless you're already lying on the ground.
The detection side also gets the benefits of AI though. I can't see the generation side getting that far ahead.
Unless you're the person who has a second infection or the doctor who has to deal with this life and death situation, then yeah, fear mongering...

But the other side to this is that if the reinfection is due to the virus mutating into a more virulent state, then it's MORE likely to propagate as that virulent state, meaning more and more COVID19 infected people's will be open to reinfection over time.
> For my own startup, I built a small cluster of 17 servers for just beneath $55K, and that had a month-to-month expense of $600 placed in a co-lo. In comparison, the same setup at AWS would be $96K per month.

Why would you build exactly the same setup in AWS as for on-prem, unless your objective is to (dishonestly) show that on-prem is cheaper?

Lift-and-shift-to-the-cloud is known to be more expensive, because you aren't taking advantage of the features available to you which would allow you to reduce your costs.
To be fair, it seems that was a large component of how everyone caught up with the UK. And of course Europe had a long history of trying to get technologies out of places like China.

I really like the Pilot G2 pens - they use a nice flowing ink and are available in larger 1.0mm and 0.7mm sizes. They are also pretty easy to find (Amazon has them, I'm sure other stores would as well), so you shouldn't have troubles picking a pack up!
This can also be a handy technique when dealing with CLI tools that take a long time to boot/warm. Leave a zygote/server process running in the background that’s warmed, serving a UDS. When you want to invoke the tool, have a lightweight client connect to the server UDS and send argv, the env vars, cwd, and open file descriptors across the UDS to the zygote. The zygote forks, and the fork sets the env vars, argv, etc on itself and then runs the job.

The only problem with this is cancellation- you’ll need your client to propagate signals to to forked runner process, as well.
...okay

I'm not sure why this needs explaining still. But this virus, like all viruses will evolve and change over time. The vaccine today won't be effective in a couple of years.

When I started in this business I had my own office. I could close the door or leave it open which was a sign of my availability. Me or any of my colleagues were free to roam the halls and decompress or bounce ideas off any one else with open doors. Also, we had common areas we could congregate to.

This environment was orders of magnitude less distracting than the modern open floor plan sweat shop. It was also significantly less distracting than working from home but I think that's because "productivity" tools like Slack didn't exist yet.
The submission system removed the initial "How" but I've put it back now.

The title "I talk to ..." is very different from "How I talk to ..." ... sorry if anyone feels misled.
I don't already, because I don't log in to what YouTube videos. But the article said that more videos were likely to be limited to age-verified accounts, and that identification would be done by machine, which tells me that more and more videos are going to require being logged in first.

I've already seen over the last couple of months that YouTube insists on prompting me to log in, so I figure there's a larger movement at Google to tie viewers to actual people/accounts - almost certainly to improve advertising revenue.

So at some point there will likely be something I want to watch which is "age restricted" or "for premiere accounts" or something like that, which once upon a time would have been available to anyone.
You get keys to a room on a smartphone, but just like a hotel, there are a lot of rooms that are locked to you, and you can’t replace the furniture, remodel etc.

Wagering against China's innovation a losing bet
To add, although not quite the same as running a full server closet, I've also repurposed an old laptop as an always-on server and run a handful of web services for both professional and personal purposes from my home connection:

- Some utility applications I maintain for consulting clients. These tend to be incredibly low volume, accessed a handful of times a month at most.

- I host some analytics infrastructure for clients. It's for reporting, rather than data capture, so latency and uptime aren't super critical.

- I run a personal zerotier[1] network, which I use as both a virtual LAN across all my devices hosted everywhere as well as to tunnel my laptop and mobile traffic when I'm not at home. My internet gateway is hosted at home, so all my mobile and public wifi traffic routes through my home connection.

- I do a minor bit of web scraping. This is fairly low volume, and a mix of both personal and professional work. If it was higher volume I wouldn't host it at home, due purely to the risk/potential hassle of IP blocks and complaints.

I have a fairly stable symmetrical 1Gbps fiber connection (plus a block of static IPs). It's a residential connection so has no firm SLA, but still achieves ~500Mbps when experiencing "congestion" (in whatever form that means for fiber to the premise) and has only been down twice (once during a total power outage and another an attempt to use the parental control features for one device resulted in every device being MitM'd by an invalid SSL cert).

I also have a mobile hotspot I use when traveling for work, which I have connected as a failover ISP when I'm at home. This covered both instances of downtime I've experienced. And in the case when it doesn't and a client needs to access a service, I maintain external backups that I can spin up on VPS somewhere in a pinch. Probably not enough guarantees for a primarily SaaS based business, but has worked without a hitch when user-facing SaaS websites/apps are only a minor secondary component of the work.

… and, yes, China has used measures which are much easier in an authoritarian police state as part of that response. That puts the onus on those of us who disagree with that on working to have our countries be more like South Korea, Taiwan, NZ, etc. since the Chinese government has not hesitated to point to the differences as proof that their system is superior.

You forgot "Little children were not mass murdered at school and the grieving parents are all faking it". The beliefs espoused by certain people are abhorrent to the point that you wonder if they're still human beings.
Both things can be true. Trump was to Republicans what Bernie is to Democrats. Look into how many Republicans are chasing radical stuff like Qanon. Both parties and the entire political orthodoxy is in for a huge shakeup. Nobody really loves the mainstream of their party right now.

Cool, thanks for sharing! Yeah, there are also issues reconciling the different scales of weather data (hundreds of meters to kilometers resolution), fuel data (~30 m) , and fire dynamics (sub-centimeter). It's still pretty amazing what they've been able to do with what they have, and weather forecasting has gotten so much better in the last decade! It's a pretty exciting time for the field.

The issue is cost. Proving that an image is or isn't photoshopped isn't all that difficult/expensive. Anyone well versed in digital imagery can use basic tools to expose 99.99% of photoshopped images. But moving pictures are different. Due to compression artifacts and the overall lower quality of each frame there is much more room for opinion. An answer one way or another may be possible but it will be a much greater and more expensive battle of experts.

I tried to explain with the whole step=scooter thing, but clearly I failed. Many of the comments seem to be assuming I am talking about low-end motorcycles.

To be clear, however, I was talking about small folding electric inline 2-wheel stand-on devices.

As for theft, that's a huge and growing problem with bikes. That's another reason to dissuade me from having a decent bike that would encourage me to commute (although work from home now solves that). A folding bike or 2-wheel step scooter would have worked perfectly for me when I was commuting via foot, train, bus, and then foot each way to and from work.

As someone who's interested in writing, I have noticed things changing over the last few decades so I was interested in the how the situation has evolved over time based on data. I dug this up:

Bias, She Wrote: The Gender Balance of The New York Times Best Seller list
https://pudding.cool/2017/06/best-sellers/

There seems to have been an inflection point in the 1990s, which the author posits is due to the rise of MFA degrees (2/3rds granted to women). Commercially, the gender ratio seems to have approached parity overall, even if in specific categories the large imbalances exists (owing to various factors, some self-selection effect exists). Even though commercial success seems to be at parity, the author posits that the publishing industry lags behind in reflecting this and that there remains a funnel bias in the industry (from critics to publishers).
Right, but there is an implication that if it was piracy it is illegal, no? Lets not play coy.

My comment of illegal isn't a court of law, my intent was clearly discussing the idea that if the RIAA is accusing youtube-dl of piracy (effectively), and then they themselves increase popularity of youtube-dl, they would effectively be promoting piracy, aka something illegal.

Ya'll are getting hung up on the details. It was a joke.
I recently tried to sign up for Google AdSense and received an automatic reply that I already have an account They even sent me an email address of that account.

It’s all very well and good to say, but without a second lockdown UK hospital capacity would have gotten overwhelmed. And then what do you do? There’s no normal while that’s happening.

I think it’s crazy that the UK let themselves get to this position again: this predicament was utterly predictable in spring. But having got into this predicament, what option is there?

The sensible thing would be to figure out a sustainable long run policy once the wave has been beaten. Not sure that’s elimination now: it will be much harder to eliminate covid in the Uk over winter than it would have been over spring/summer
An effective vaccine in the near future is a much better option than natural herd immunity due to the lives lost.

Longer term it gets interesting because young people are at a dramatically lower risk of death and older people will have been exposed several times. So, if things go endemic it’s likely for long term annual deaths to be dramatically lower.

PS: The error bars in what you linked are very wide repressing significant uncertainty around those tests.
Is this actually refracting through the glass? The distortion doesn’t seem quite correct.

I wonder if this is actually a clever cheat. Perhaps it’s actually not transparent, but a mirror surface and the cube map for reflections is actually just the skybox inverted. So instead of actually looking through the glass sculpture, it’s reflecting the inverted skybox.

No, it works because Amsterdam has infrastructure in place to make it work. My "home" town is Bath in England - population of ~90000, and vastly smaller than Amsterdam. However, the transit infrastructure there is terrible. It's also worth noting that Amsterdam has not always been how it is today: in the 70s and 80s it was filled with cars.
At least under this scheme I'll have an easier time telling my friends from my enemies.
Although i grew up in era of home computers like ZX Spectrum, i think that this form factor has no real advantage today, compared to some miniature brick form factor (with external keyboard), like NUC (or brick with Rasberry Pi). I see several reasons:

- External keyboards are super cheap, there is wide variety of designs to choose based on personal preferences, while when integrated in computer you are stuck with one design.

- Keyboards are vulnerable to destruction by toppled cup of tea, so it make sense to not put full computer inside.

- It is easier to manipulate with keyboard when there is only one cable coming from it instead of 5+ cables.

- When moving between places, it is easier to take smaller brick than keyboard-sized computer, while keyboards are interchangable and widespread enough to get one at destination.

I used to work on adsense. There is no facility for an "earnings cap". Your revenue is the literal sum of earnings from every click on your property. While ads are showing and being clicked on, you will always be earning more.

If I were to guess, you failed to implement ads.txt and/or your content didn't meet the standards required by some big advertisers, so auction pressure was very low for your site.
A device that wakes on broadcast packets of an unknown type would be very poorly designed and wouldn't get much sleep on any network. Wake-on-LAN usually only wakes up when it receives a magic packet, or possibly if it it receives a packet addressed specifically to that device (not broadcast).

I noticed that. Audio has to come from the HDMI connection or from Bluetooth, either of which will produce better sound than the standard Pi audio jack. I imagine they see this being used with a TV, much like the old classic 8-bit consoles.
> An M2 SATA or NVMe would make this credible but 99% of the problems I've had with the Pi platform is storage related, either being knackered microSD cards, terrible performance or USB power problems.

It sounds like literally all your problems would be addressed by using the official power supply and a USB-connected SSD - although your problems might very well be solved just by using the official power supply and a decent SD card.

SATA and NVMe interfaces are something some nerds who aren't the target audience for this hardware would like but they don't address the real-world problems you mentioned at all.
