It's still good if you minimize their impact.

A similar example is sending garbage to China. At a certain point China stopped accepting it. Hopefully soon others will do the same and recycling will be tackled correctly.
I believe you rent a day to buy in, but that’s a day of CPU usage measured by clock time. So it expires based on your usage, not 24 hours later.
I think a bigger risk is a partnership with something Amazon Sidewalk, where it won't be the increasingly rare unencrypted suburban WiFi AP you need to worry about but rather your neighbours digital assistant, speaker, lightbulbs, etc.
Good.

And where are you supposed to go from the bottom of the ocean? From the Moon or Mars, access to the whole solar system is easier than from Earth's surface.
The initial impetus for the Buran was a desire to match capabilities with the US. Unfortunately, it’s not surprising that a rocket meant for such a political purpose fell to the wayside after the fall of the Soviet system.
The chain is made of harder (by a substantial enough margin to not wear through too quickly) metal than the ship. Also, the cross section of any given link is much thicker than any one piece of steel in the ship so it doesn't really need to cut efficiently, it just kind of crunches and tears the ship out of the way using the ship's own weight.
libstdc++ also has a debug mode with bounds checking etc, although you have to enable it by defining _GLIBCXX_DEBUG: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/debug_mode.h...
Fair enough, I have not and was going on hearsay, but from wikipedia "As time passed however, scholarly reviews became more critical, chiding Carnegie for being insincere and manipulative" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influen...)

And it also says "Charles Manson used what he learned from the book in prison to manipulate women into killing on his behalf" but I don't know if that can be blamed on the book.
As the other commenters have said about GDPR, it could also be polite-speak for "never" (or "until we can lobby our way to new laws").
Telegram? Signal? Viber? Matrix?

I feel like all of these apps (with special emphasis on Telegram and Signal) have almost the exact same UX and features of WhatsApp... beyond adoption numbers.

Surely one of these can take its place?
That's still not free - you are locked out from a software base. Today it's cheap, but, still, not free.
I work in tech for a financial company. I hate it too.
Telegram may be getting momentum, but it’s nothing near the usage of WhatsApp over here. Signal nobody knows anything about, there’s nobody on there.
they simply offer good value for such a little price

That's the root of the problem isn't it. Unrelenting pressure on margins forces these companies to look elsewhere for revenue.
Sorry, everything I’ve read is internal material. The lawyers spoke to the EU and were told this needs to happen right away. So it is happening.
It is. Between being harder than the iron of the hull, and the links, it acts like a chainsaw. The teeth are not as ideally formed, but it doesn't really matter as ideally formed teeth are not really practical anyway because of size (they need to be huge so as to not load up with chips).

The TLDR is: By using Cloudflare Workers and Stripe for payment they could deal with a very spiky traffic during the show without provisioning a ton of machines.

Sadly the article doesn't go into technical details which is what I'm interested in. Therefore it can be resumed down to that one phrase.
"Not save my data in illegal ways"

Edit: "Not save my data"
I read that salaries in Taiwan aren't that high, so even if they couldn't buy the hardware (they wouldn't allow it), they have the cash reserves to buy the know-how
No I sat on the divider between the road and the plants to the side. It’s 5cm high.
Sure would have loved to see a breakdown of the breadth of functions and the nature of each function (did you simply just serve as a stripe proxy? did you squirrel away some data into a separate database? etc).

Hard to know just how much serverless really helped here as opposed to other solutions. Also, the cost of the serverless execution would be great to know (don't forget those API Gateway fees or other such "hidden" costs).

The tech empower benchmarks[0] w/ a single DB request and NodeJS show some pretty good results (10k-100k) and since the max was 2.5k. I think Node isn't a particularly performance conscious choice, though it does async well and that should be pretty common knowledge these days (that doing async well is a good idea for high load).

Also normally you'd use Cloudflare workers to serve some data very close to customers -- was that the use case here? or was it more just that the workers were a good fit for deployment ease? There's also the question of essentially subsidies -- I hear that cloudflare worker ingress (egress?) traffic is free right now?

Only useful if you have AWS credits.

Holy crap this is expensive though
I sort of feel like the constant stream of “scientists have discovered a planet that is like earth” is just a PR stunt to get more funding. Not that I don’t support space exploration efforts. I just have noticed most of the discovery articles are more theoretical than actual discovery and trigger my click bait mental alarms even though I love reading them.
Since the article buried the (technical) lead a bit, I'll just mention that they used Cloudflare Workers.

I imagine Cloudflare Workers is better than AWS Lambda (or Lambda at Edge) at handling sharp traffic spikes, since the use of V8 isolates yields much lower cold start times than AWS's micro-VMs. Does anyone have real experience with both models?
Industry is not going to fund the overwhelming majority of research areas in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. Data science and AI are an exception, where people in industry are much better paid, and can get access to much better resources that would be hard to afford in academia... It’s not surprising this type of advance came from an industry funded group. On the other hand, it is academia and its structure that has enabled so many other discoveries, for example, Crispr DNA tech, our understanding of gravitational waves, or the proof of the Poincaré conjecture.
Title doesn't quite match the article. The central thesis, that the separation of structure, interactivity, and style is a good thing for users, is a separate need than the need for different languages.

Sure, the languages are custom designed for each need, their differences engender separation, and decoupled domains means each can evolve at different rates. But none of that is necessary to separate interaction or style from structure through language constructs.
Very idealistic. - Have you ever tried to maintain a PHP project or Django project or any other web project after several years?

Dependencies break, packages are abandoned, or the whole project gets abandoned, then try to maintain the regular updates, patches, fixes. Whole lot of work, until you give up, have yet another database dump in your hand and no interface to work with the data. Of course you can query those tables, get your data out of them, but that's another story.
The least capable ticketing system you can get away with is the best ticketing system.

I mean, even their own watchdogs say that there were problems:

>In the months following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 in the UK, government awarded around £18 billion of contracts using emergency procurement regulations to buy goods, services and works to support its response to the pandemic. Government was having to work at pace, with no experience of using emergency procurement on such a scale before and was developing its approach at the same time as procuring large quantities of goods and services quickly, frequently from suppliers it had not previously worked with, in a highly competitive international market. This procurement activity secured unprecedented volumes of essential supplies necessary to protect front-line workers. Our separate report on the supply of PPE looks in detail at the extent to which demand for that equipment was met and the value-for-money achieved.

While government had the necessary legal framework in place to award contracts directly, it had to balance the need to procure large volumes of goods and services quickly, with the increased commercial and propriety risks associated with emergency procurement. We looked in detail at a sample of contracts selected on a risk basis. Although we found sufficient documentation for a number of procurements in our sample, we also found specific examples where there is insufficient documentation on key decisions, or how risks such as perceived or actual conflicts of interest have been identified or managed. In addition, a number of contracts were awarded retrospectively, or have not been published in a timely manner. This has diminished public transparency, and the lack of adequate documentation means we cannot give assurance that government has adequately mitigated the increased risks arising from emergency procurement or applied appropriate commercial practices in all cases. While we recognise that these were exceptional circumstances, there are standards that the public sector will always need to apply if it is to maintain public trust.

And remember everyone, when reading reports like this one should replace any soft seeming rebukes with phrases such as "these muppets had no idea what they were doing" and "this looks incredibly corrupt, but if we say that this report will never be released".
IIRC (not a MMS user, it never took off in Germany) MMS requires provider/carrier specific settings (e.g. a special MMS APN) to be set, meaning that it may not work for you even though it’s properly implemented.
> Without strong regulation of privacy and consent, this will be a persistent and dangerous issue.

It won't be a dangerous issue because no one can force a TV inside your house/office.

Meanwhile leave the rest of us the option to make this trade-off
Do telcos in US/Europe create the same incumbency that telcos in Latin America create?

Here in Mexico, any mobile data package comes with free data for blessed services like Whatsapp and FB Messenger. Obviously trying to compete with each other on these perks.

Using a competitor like Telegram is a complete nonstarter when trading memes or video chat eats into your data. The cheapest plan from Telcel (pay-as-you-go + holding 20 pesos in your balance) lets you use Whatsapp infinitely.

GG to competition.

And half the comments on are from people who didn’t read the article.

This isn’t about getting rich quick but setting up a system to respond to high load that comes in bursts.

The authors setup a system to handle bursts of traffic driven by a popular tv show. Normally the traffic is zero so in this case lambda makes a ton of sense.
Exactly. I'm a midlevel dev making less than $100k per year. Even with frugal living and investing, my net assets won't hit $1m until at least 15 years into my career, probably more like 20-25 years now that I have a family.
Setting up a mailing list wouldn't get someone a promotion though.
S3 is almost certainly not fully partition tolerant at the node level and requires some sort of quorum. Other “magical” data stores like Spanner also retain this limitation, they just have very reliable replication strategies.
This product is for orgs sharing data.
Good explanation of the bug, but sadly no details on how they tracked it down.
Yeah, but then you gotta keep it somewhere, network it, keep it powered, provision users on it, fix it when it breaks, et c.

Most of cloud computing's value is just not having to do that utterly mundane crap. Amazon can charge just a tiny sliver less than it costs in some mid-level admin's fully loaded cost in dealing with it, and then they and their customers make/save money: win-win.

I'm the last person to defend AWS (they built a custom on-prem AWS datacenter for the CIA!) but this is a silly criticism of their new service.
No. The article makes no assumptions about superconductors. The argument makes no assumption even about plasma confinement. It's all about the limits on areal power density at the reactor walls.

The conclusion he reaches, that fusion reactors will have a volumetric power density at least an order of magnitude lower than a fission reactor, is not contradicted by ARC. The volumetric power density of ARC (from the ARC paper I linked to elsewhere in these comments) is 0.5 MW(th)/m^3 (counting the volume of the entire reactor, not just the plasma) vs. 20 MW(th)/m^3 for the primary reactor vessel of a PWR -- a factor of 40 worse.

His suggestion to look at aneutronic plasmas didn't pan out, as you note, but that doesn't save DT fusion. I'll note that it's his PhD student Todd Rider who shot down the non-Maxwellian schemes that aneutronic fuels would have needed. After that, Lidsky switched to working on fission for the rest of career and life.
Extending a component library and it’s documentation for speedy design system
Also using an alternative line an abrasive cable would not make sense either. If friction causes it to tear it would need complete replacing, which would be plenty $$$.

Instead, with a chain they just replace a couple of broken links and back on track. Which is apparently what they've done:

> Unfortunately, the chain actually broke during the cutting operation. “Approximately 25 hours into the cut, the cutting chain broke,” St. Simons Incident Response writes on its website. Luckily, there were no injuries and there was no damage to the equipment. The team simply fixed the chain’s broken link, inspected the other links for signs of fatigue, and continued on.
That would be a major oversight.

I've seen some websites whitelist accepted emails to email providers which make registration a bit more verified - by require a phone number for example (eg. GMail, Hotmail and the like).

I'm unsure where protonmail stands on anonymity.

Maybe something like this is happening.
It's like night and day in my (small) experience. Cold start is VERY fast.
Terrible title for a fun little case study; the RTE Late Late Toy Show is a bit of a cultural institution, and setting up a scalable donation infrastructure for a "big bang" is a challenge.

Of course the company "We Are Serverless" is always going to recommend serverless, but in this case it's the optimal use case of huge unpredictable scaling over a short period.

There may be places you won't be allowed to go and things you won't be allowed to do (like work, maybe) unless you show proof of having been vaccinated.

This.

Alternatively look for an open-licensed dataset if one exists in your domain (e.g. using https://fairsharing.org or, shameless plug, https://biokeanos.com). With generated data you always add some assumptions, with more 'wild' data you have a chance to discover edge cases earlier.
It's been around (for clinical trials and whatnot) since the late 50's in the US I believe.

I think it's been mandatory since thalidomide.

That's a deliberately bad headline. The vast majority of these will launch, build an iOS binary, save and quit within an hour. The other 5% will be people testing an app.
As a matter of principle I rarely read articles with clickbait titles. As the name of the category implies, the signal to noise ratio is awful, 99% of them are a waste of time.

I'd rather "read" it by reading comments on articles here on HN and only then deciding to read the main article if it proves worthy of my time :-)
I would say that is most likely due to a massively higher salary and no teaching responsibilities. Academia can’t compete on salary with industry in AI / data science.
I believe that our understanding of lunar surface resources has changed significantly since those books. We now know there is more water than we ever suspected. We also have found what look like lava tubes that form natural ice traps. Being about a week from Earth also means we can iterate a lot faster and the 2 second delay makes remote controlled exploration a lot simpler.
No, I'm not a millionaire. Pretty much everyone working in tech (in the US) can be if they work long enough and live within their means. It will probably take me close to 25 years to amass that amount since I have a family and an average job.
Nobody in Taiwan (except maybe a few very elderly KMT party members) calls it the ROC. In practice, of course Taiwan has no interest in claiming all of China. The claim, which dates back to the days of dictator Chiang Kai Shek, stays on the law books because the government of Taiwan is literally threatened with war by China every time they move towards updating it to a more realistic position. Everyone on both sides knows the claim is just a relic from the past.
Leading with saying "The ROC claims all of China" does not help anyone understand the situation.
Further, I wouldn't say the current party "wants to" separate. The current party wants to get a clear international legal/formal recognition that they are separate, and have been since beyond living memory.
You can live your whole life, birth to death, in Taiwan, and your taxes, driving licence, passport, etc etc, will always be arranged in Taipei, not Beijing. China is a foreign country to Taiwan.
Wow, this is awesome. Thanks for creating this.
Nice! May I add it to https://linmobapps.frama.io?

WRT to podcasts in general: Gnome Podcasts (not packaged in Mobian) is ok, and Rhythmbox (which is kinda adapted for phones), has podcast support too (with Apple Podcasts directory search).
I don't agree with him on many things, but I absolutely despise online advertising.
They do the same thing here, yes.

But if the EU decides to legislate against FB, for example, I doubt they'll be that silly, they'll probably shoot these clauses down.
Also TenDRA http://www.tendra.org/ (which is about 30 years old).

TenDRA is designed for front-ends to compile to ANDF, an "architecture-neutral distribution format" which is kind of like LLVM bitcode but different. Sadly it never really gained any lasting momentum as an open source project, though it currently has a few active maintainers.

And much more recently there's Cranelift https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/tree/main/crane... which is written in Rust and is being used as a back-end for WebAssembly and Rust.

People need to accept that the problem is the language. We will never solve the developer problem, but we will/can/have produced languages that make these types of errors impossible/extremely unlikely.
Believe it or not, open sourcing the security code is actually not a great idea. Most of the worlds bot nets run on Wordpress which is open source. Most of the time legitimate actors are not going to read through an entire code base because they have better things to do. Illegitimate actors however have a very high incentive to read through a widely used public code base and do so.
What is here considered as Large database?
My ability to watch content produced by one company should not be impinged upon because I don’t consent to frankly gross privacy violations by another entirely unrelated company. This is exactly what regulation is for. Privacy should be protected. You and I can make this trade-off. My parents? They don’t. We protect those who aren’t well versed in a topic through regulation for this reason.
Seconding this. The value is especially obvious if you’re not running a single server: these are targeted for things like build & test infrastructure, where these would be one more node in a larger system. Not duplicating that or having to maintain a VPN, etc. is worth a lot more than the pricing differential.
