I'm not sure I understand the welfare-warfare model. It seems like it requires a bunch of preconditions:

* The cycle of debt needs to be bootstrapped. You need some initial borrowing well beyond current (expected) repayment capacity. This implies both some overspending and lack of due diligence by lenders willing to extend the rope.

* The debt is denominated in a currency the borrower doesn't control. If you're American borrowing dollars, or Russia borrowing roubles, you can always deflate the currency to moot the debt.

* The state has no legal leverage against lenders. A continuation of the tactics above-- I could imagine a desperate nation simply refusing to redeem its bonds, or even prosecuting people attempting to claim then.

There may be incentives and default-approaches that encourage the growth of empire to feed a debt addiction, but it's far from the only way. In the worst case, you end up with a default and limited to dealing with lenders who are legally required to deal with you (i.e. requiring pension plans or state-owned enterprises to sponge up government bonds) until someone else is willing to take a punt.

> This recurrent story where extremely intelligent people are battling mental health issues and cannot speak out because the stigma behind this issue is too damaging is why we need to normalize the discourse around mental health if we want to avoid this type of tragedies.

Where exactly is the "stigma" of mental health in tech nowadays? We're blasted day and night to the point where apparently every other person is "battling mental health issues".

Maybe there's a deeper issue here than "stigma" and seeing overpriced therapists.
This happened to me this year. I had a domain for almost 20 years that was on register.com. I refused to pay their fee, the discount codes no longer worked, and they made it very difficult to transfer (I made a few attempts). Eventually I got fed up and let it expire.

It was instantly snagged with a $8500 price tag to get it back. Fortunately I had moved off every meaningful account so all they were left with was a bunch of spam. As much as I liked it, it was nice to make a fresh start with a new domain.
If I backed the odds which people were laying at, then my bets would match, but I would be losing money in the long run and I would be a sucker. As far as I understand, there are plenty of suckers in the game, but they are mostly backing and not laying.

No one is laying at odds which would leave them out of pocket in the long run. I could lay a specific outcome at favorable odds for that outcome alone, but laying makes sense only if you can lay the right amount of money for _all_ outcomes.

This is the job of a traditional bookmaker. He sets and updates his odds such that he can match exactly the right amount of money for each outcome such that he makes a profit no matter the outcome.

Given that I have the exact odds for the game, I would like to understand how this balancing is done on a Betfair exchange game in an efficient way.
Again: the article discusses an environment where machines on a home network are refusing to use the DNS servers the network is configured to use. DNSSEC authenticates requests between servers. But between DNS clients ("stub resolvers") and servers ("full recursers"), there is no authentication, just a single bit in the header that says "trust me, I authenticated this data".

It doesn't matter if you're using your ISP's servers, 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1, or a custom server you set up on Digital Ocean somewhere: an on-path attacker can forge DNSSEC responses to you. It's a ridiculous situation.

It seems you have discovered the egg and the chicken problem.

What is a "well-credentialed" Investigator if it's not measured by peer review? It seems to me like an argument from authority, which is ten thousand times worse than "problematic peer review" you claim. Define well-credentialed without peer review without a cycle please.

What is "backing of a large-scale professional firm or institution"? They already exist, they are called journals, which perform, surprise, peer reviews. Other alternatives you mention are probably private organizations, you seriously believe it's less problematic than already less problematic journals? Much naivety in this argument.

Peer review has its problems, but as you've been told before, it's the best we have come up with. Your proposals are much worse than what we have.
Fully agree. I'm going to keep your post in mind when I write about the business model of darklang.
> Local residents always complain about everything.

In this case there had been a previous fire that revealed that the cladding was dangerous.

The residents were complaining not about the same kind of abstract risk that we deal with in IT, like "what if Microsoft Azure ceases to exist overnight", but a real risk of death with a recurring proximal cause.

The flat members had spent serious time and effort trying to bring attention to their plight, and they were ignored.

Lambda is kind of a weird name. Lambda functions are (traditionally) anonymous and close over local variables. These are just UDFs in Excel syntax, which seems like nothing super exciting (surprised it didn't exist already).

How so? At worst 5% of the population are expected to die, mostly the old and infirm. Not doing anything against it would clearly be a deathblow to nursing homes, but which other businesses would greatly suffer?

Not sure what makes you think that. Free speech certainly has helped, but so many other different things and changes has happened the last 100 years.

In any case, hateful let's-do-a-genocide ultra free speech didn't help.

Such things I think it's good to censor.
> Docker images depend on Linux which means "Docker" on macOS runs in a Linux VM. Presumably docker for Windows could use WSL.

WSL2 is also a VM. Docker is in truth Linux-only software, and "Docker" on any other platform is a polished interface for spinning up a Linux VM and running the real version of Docker there.

I don't think this is such a bad thing. What non-Linux Docker really provides is a nice UI.

On my Mac, I switched from doing a lot of development in VMWare Fusion to using docker-machine (set up to still use VMWare under the hood). With docker-machine especially, it's quite obvious that I'm still just using a VM, but it all feels a lot more seamless than when I was running a bunch of commands to start up VMWare, SSH in, and sync my local files.

"I gave you five articles listing the causes of homelessness. Now you're claiming the articles aren't enough."

Um yeah, because they are not? They don't say anything about rising rents causing homelessness, they only mention the same correlation you also mentioned (rich city has many homeless), which doesn't provide any causation. In fact most of them don't provide any evidence at all. Some web site claiming "x causes y" is not actually evidence for anything.

"In many cities they have in fact done this and it works pretty well. It's significantly cheaper than the hospital visits and the extra burden on the police force."

Sure, but that was not what we are discussing. We are discussing the claim that rising wealth increases homelessness. That's an entirely different question. In fact wealthy regions would probably be better able to provide free housing for homeless people than poor places.

If you have actual experience working with homeless people, give us some real information.

The best rebuttal so far has been to decline to comment.

However, without revealing names the paper outlines internal company matters, presenting opinions and tautology that do not fit proper format of professionally published research. Instead of reworking a flawed paper, the researcher escalated and exposed individual opinion, publicly. Such company representation is out of scope for research positions. As Google could not agree to terms of email, it was taken as resignation notice.
As I said elsewhere this is not related to Novi. Novi is just a wallet using DIEM, and will have its own users (like any wallet or bank or trading platform has).

That being said, there is a lot of work being put in making sure that FB doesn't have access to Novi user data. Of course, sometimes one employee's mistake can lead to infringement of a claim, so to avoid that good frameworks have to be put into place.

> As a platform for running production code it might be dead or dying, but as an ecosystem and a development tool it will continue to live and probably thrive.

Not everyone needs an over the top Kubernetes cluster in production. I'm plenty happy using Docker Compose in production and foresee myself continuing to use it as long as Docker maintains it. There's even a WIP issue on their roadmap[0] to rewrite Docker Compose with Go to make it more consistent with their main CLI. Looks like full steam ahead to me rather than death.

It's really nice having the same Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml get used in dev + ci and prod. There's no surprises and no massive amount of complexity.

> Is there a reason this is tied to the blockchain?

The only legitimate reason I can think of would be cynically drafting on the hype cycle. But I've been reading David Gerard's book Libra Shrugged [1] and it looks like the actual answer is that "blockchain" has a quasi-religious belief system built up around it, and the people involved are members of the faith.

One of the stunning things for me about "blockchain" revolutionary hype is how long it has gone on without significant accomplishment. It started only a bit after the iPhone, which has had a huge impact on things, including payments. It's hard now to imagine a world without the internet in one's pocket. But if every blockchain stopped working tomorrow, few would notice. Contrast this with M-Pesa [2], a different approach to digital money. It started at around the same time but has had huge uptake. A recent report in Kenya [3] says M-Pesa has 30 million accounts, which is approximately the number of people in Kenya age 15 or over. To me, that's what successful digital money looks like.

Lots of this is also thanks to LLVM being much more friendlier to cross compilation than other compiler infrastructures (for instance, GCC requires a different compiler for every target, which is ridiculous IMHO). Usually every build of LLVM can generate code for every target LLVM supports, and not only the default one, and MC and LLD can replace the need of another instance of binutils too.

Also, while Rust's cross compiling facilities are nice, they are no match for Zig and especially Go.
I haven't made the math... but those plastic trees are much smaller and lighter than the real ones (and have a very standard size in a box that can be very well optimized), so shipping them from China on a container boat + container train + keeping them 10 years might not be that bad comparing to what is required to transport those natural trees every single year on trucks often across borders (lots of tree farms in Canada shipping to the US) + complicated transport OUT at the end of the season. Obviously you have to add the positive impact of having a tree growing and the CO2 they process. Just wanted to chime that it might not be that obvious what is really more eco-friendly.
I'm speaking as someone who would obviously prefer the plastic-free solution.

> Staff and some of their relatives complained of symptoms ranging from dizziness, loss of balance, hearing loss, anxiety and something they described as "cognitive fog". It became known as "Havana syndrome".

These symptoms are also present in everything from Lyme disease to minor/asymptomatic COVID. They are also associated with positional vertigo.

Unless US intelligence knows something they have not shared, I don't see the "sonic attack" angle. We don't know what happened, we don't know what caused it, but it's an embassy, so it must be the fault of spies?

Suppose someone left a fork in their container while reheating their lunch in a microwave with a failing magnetron. It is an embassy-- suppose a bug interfered with a jammer. Suppose any other freak occurrence occurred that would emit this sort of energy.

Literally anything that disrupts the inner ear calcium deposits could produce these symptoms. Sound vibration or changes in air pressure could do it too. It happens to people who don't work at the US embassy in Cuba too, but that results in a vertigo diagnosis instead of accusations of theoretical attacks by unknown adversaries for unclear purpose.

The Russians studied this sort of thing 50 years ago? Ok. But what is the connection to the current political relationship between the USSR and Cuba? Why apply 50-year-old research--now--in Cuba, specifically? Why not test this on a control group that would not put the attacker in-scope of US intelligence? We will look like idiots if this turns out to be an intern fooling around with a directional microphone they found while cleaning out a supply closet.

Sure, something happened in Cuba that produced these symptoms in a group of people. But fuck me, if anything the mass hysteria seems to be coming more from US intelligence than the actual victims.
It's just a bunch of if clauses.
> The author is going to end up with a single type that can represent points, lines, rotations, planes, and probably more.

That's the point of geometric algebra!

The concept is that you can think of a line as a circle with infinite radius. Similarly, a plane is a sphere with an infinite radius. A rotation is can be represented using two reflections along lines or planes. Etc...

This makes some algorithms much more elegant, by removing conditional "if" statements. This matters when interpolating, which is the most common practical application of GA: game engines and robotic control often have problems with interpolating arbitrary rotations. With GA, there's no problem.

Docker Inc put themselves in an impossible situation because they wanted Docker to be a standard and also be a massively profitable monopoly but they didn't have enough moat to pull it off. Red Hat and Google saw the monopolization coming and aggressively commoditized Docker for the good of the community but also for their own benefit.

Now the last battle is over Docker Hub.

Yes, I would generally agree. But I think it's fine, and justified to investigate the (many) claims of EMF sensitivity. People having a seizure because they walked past someone eating peanuts may have seemed insane when it first came about, and while I have no idea of the history, it's easy to imagine that nut may have been cracked only finally by someone crazy enough to hypothesize such a thing. I have a friend who will die if their partner kisses them after drinking a glass of milk - the human body can at times decide to do extremely counterproductive things based on things ordinarily considered "safe".

Docker-compose v2.4 is arguably much better than v3.0, and in a lot of ways they are really separate specs, not a "newer version" of an old spec. Compose v3 exists to push you towards swarm, whereas compose v2 exists to make docker-compose a complete mini cluster management tool, and succeeds at it in my experience.

We continue to use v2.4 in all our projects today because it allows you do easily do things like define startup order with healthchecks, as well as limit cpu, memory, etc. without having to spin up a whole swarm cluster.

They sketch the argument for SGD, but they don't know if it actually holds (see Remark 5 in the paper).
The overlap is in compatibility and consistency of the "units of programming" they can both run natively. I think of docker as the REPL for cloud computing.
Well, looks like some fundamental knowledge is missing here, that why everything looks like "hell" or is "scary".

I wonder how many lines from this "./setup.sh" could have been avoided by trying a bit harder to understand how the ingress object works.

I don't agree, my step parents (in Romania) are unbanked and they have ID documents. A lot of people are in a similar situation there. Yet they all have smart phones.
I think whether Docker adds value (1) and how to capture the value (2) are separate questions. This response was the value it adds. I think it adds a tremendous amount of value, and widespread academic and corporate usage speaks to that.

To your point, they also need to capture that value, because it would be a pity to lose Docker. I cover that in the thread of how they profit with one idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25326062

There are other potential ideas -- marketplaces, indemnification services, security services. I hope they figure something out.
In many places they aren’t even correlated due to changes in testing prevalence and other factors. So even saying “related” is only sometimes true and not in a way which is easy to distinguish.

Syntacog | Remote - United Kingdom only | Full-time | Software engineers/developers

Ever thought that it's crazy how much it costs to talk to a lawyer? Or that the law seems like it was designed to be confusing?

Syntacog is an exciting new startup looking for developers to form the core of our technical team. Our mission is to make the law easier to understand for non-lawyers.

Our first product is a health and safety app for small business. It transforms compliance from a confusing and time-consuming task into a simple guided quiz, powered by a complex knowledge base. We use NLP and AI to extract legal information from regulations, government guidance and best practice.

The core of our product is based on Elixir and Phoenix, and we make heavy use of graph databases and related technologies.

This is a UK-based remote team (including post-covid).
