having been buzzed by quite a few birds lately... they're not silent when they're taking off or hovering, they're quiet when they're gliding. humming birds sound like a small drone within about 10 feet.

If you've ever flushed quail, pheasants, ducks, etc,it's not quiet either.
Is there an article without a paywall?
How do you systematically ensure equal opportunity, and how do you measure the results of your implemented policy
Can you elaborate on this point please? I don't understand the analogy.
There is, but it's also not risk free.

For example, MongoDB used to be AGPL and there where some companies dedicated to provide hosted services for it. Specifically MongoHQ (later renamed to Compose) and MongoLabs (later renamed to mLabs). I believe neither of these companies had any specific contract with MongoDB, nor where they breaching the AGPL in any way.

However, MongoDB eventually changed it's license in a way that explicitly made it impossible for these services to continue to exist without making their entire stack open source, or getting a separate license agreement with them. In this particular example, the impact may have been minor for these two companies, as Compose got acquired by IBM before this, and mLabs got acquired by MongoDB themselves. But any other product that effectively ran hosted MongoDB for you would need to get a license from MongoDB. It is speculated (fairly) that these changes were made so that MongoDB could get a greater market share with their own hosted that they sell, and to block out much bigger cloud providers from finding ways to wrap their services in non license breaking ways, but still not providing much more extra value add other than hosted Mongo.
Not a paper, but a fantastic talk by Samy Bengio "Towards better understanding generalisation in deep learning" at ASRU2019.

Some pretty mind blowing insights - ex: if you replace one layer's weights in a trained classification network with the initialisation weights for the layer (or some intermediate checkpoint as well), many networks show relatively unaffected performance for certain layers ... which is seen as a generalisation since it amounts to parameter reduction. However, if you replace with fresh random weights (although initialisation state is itself another set of random weights), the loss is high! Some layers are more sensitive to this than others in different network architectures.

I recently summarised this to a friend who asked "what's the most important insight in deep learning?" - to which I said - "in a sufficiently high dimensional parameter space, there is always a direction in which you can move to reduce loss". I'm eager to hear other answers to that question here.
That's something I'd be curious about. How do you feel a later migration from Nomad to k8s would go?
The real beauty is in how few operators you need to achieve maximal expressiveness in a programming language. It makes other programming languages seem extra. Highly recommend the SICP lectures https://youtu.be/-J_xL4IGhJA
Considering 1. the concerns that had been raised about that research in general (and so such a research was halted in US, and US granted funds to that research in Wuhan instead) as well as about safety specifically in those Wuhan labs and 2. exceptional coincidence in time and space I think the onus in on the labs to prove it isn't their virus or at least come maximally open about their situation. If anything we've so far observed completely opposite - there is absolutely no credible information nor about the labs and the related research nor about virus origination investigation.

I just can't bring myself to see it that way. If someone incorporates code I've open sourced into a commercial product, that takes nothing away from me or anyone else. The only permission I ever gave was for others to use some code I wrote for their own purposes. That doesn't change if someone incorporates it into a closed source product. It's not like someone else choosing not to open source their additions causes the original software license on the original code to disappear in a puff of smoke.
Judges and prosecutors have way too many protections as it is, they can flat out lie, cheat, and railroad you into prison and you can’t do a thing about it.
It probably depends on whether we're talking about over the ear versus ear buds.
This. Logistics at scale is like spinning plates. One falls so does the rest, and when you're dealing with hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of packages (which is still a fraction of Amazon's scale) you're not filling up a family van and taking it to retail.

Amazon has the advantage of their own logistics infra, and scale. They earned it.

But to those suggesting "why can't you...?" -- well, you try it.

This is the equivalent of AWS or Azure going down indefinitely for these businesses.

That only makes sense if Red Hat started CentOS. They didn't. The fact that they took control of it then changed it, even the web page, and then are not effectively killed the reason people are using it, is the thing I'm upset about.

If I effectively took control of the EFF and then a couple years later changed the website copy to say that the EFF is a vehicle for litigating cases that kbenson thinks are important, and then actually changed its actions to do so, would you argue the same points? How is this any different? Something that was a net good for many people has been taken over and eventually killed. I think we're all worse off for that.

Transcending the Visual Appearance of a Paper
Nice! I hope a lot of the major VPS providers end up supporting it like Digital Ocean or Linode, etc. Shame many of them you just can't just upload your own ISO.

I have a project idea I been toying with and my plan was to use CentOS as the base, but the news has been a big disappointment. I'm not too far along though, so switching to something like Debian wouldn't be too hard but I liked the idea of longer stable releases.

Feel like the folks at Red Hat/IBM has stabbed the community in the back, and also wondering about the other projects they support like Podman, etc.

The EOL for CentOS 8 was supposed to be 2029, so people and organizations planned on using it for the stability without needing to worry about major yearly upgrades. So if they take their word back on this project, what about other projects or even paid products by the same company?

Then some were mentioning they waited until CentOS 6 was EOL, so some just skipped CentOS 7 and went straight to 8. Then with COVID shutdowns causing cutbacks and layoffs at places, people might have to upgrade sooner than they'd hope to something else or fork out the money. Seems predatory to me, so I think this move makes IBM look bad. Really hope someone realizes this is a huge mistake and backtracks. Feel like this is something someone in higher management did hoping to increase revenue without thinking about the whole larger picture.
People bring up this misconception every time Qt is mentioned. It is free as in beer (LGPL) at least on desktop. You can sell a proprietary commercial application using Qt without paying a dime as long as you dynamically link Qt (which can be included in the installation bundle).

(But you shouldn't. There is little need to distribute closed source software anymore. If you are shipping a binary with valuable trade secrets, then it won't be secret for very long. You can do server-side rendering of all the UI like all the large cap tech companies do then it won't matter if the client application at the edge is open source.)

First off, I'm not diving in the US and I'm not well-versed in how insurance/rules are there.

Secondly, yes. You should have proper training and experience. And that's why I said 'experienced' divers. I wouldn't count myself among them with my less than 50 dives and lack of qualifications.

However I personally know quite a few experienced divers (most of them have >1k dives total) who do this kind of thing a few times a year. Usually to spend a few minutes looking at wrecks.

Granted, I am positively surrounded by people with way more experience than myself so I may have a skewed image of what is normal.

Yes. We’re both making assumptions.

Apple is surely aware of Little Snitch and other firewalls, and that the markets for that are dependant on a percentage of users who want absolute insight and control in to their network traffic. Similarly, there are journalists and sources who must by nature be very cautious about all network traffic. It would be hard to argue I think that Apple is unaware of both of these groups of users, and if they are aware; it must follow that it crossed their mind.

Whether that crossing their mind means they discarded it or intentionally chose to go against it may be a question that only gets answered in hindsight since Apple says very little publicly.

It's official. Elon Musk is now a resident of Austin, Texas. And he's got a message for California.

"If a team has been winning too long, they do tend to get a little complacent, a little entitled, and then they don't win the championship anymore," Tesla's CEO said Tuesday during a live video interview with The Wall Street Journal. "California has been winning for a long time and I think they're taking it for granted a little bit."

Right, it was clear by the previous comments that you've figured out that low-effort spurious remarks pay off double since they sap energy from anyone foolish enough to try to address them while costing almost nothing on your end to make.
Tuition, health insurance, and deductibles ARE included in CPI. Taxes largely aren't - unless you're talking about sales taxes. Land prices definitely are not. And you are literally doing the opposite of buying something when you save, so that is also (obviously) not included in CPI.

What inflation "feels like" and the CPI are completely different things. This is becoming more problematic if you're on the wrong side of the trade (i.e. saving cash instead of swimming in a mountain of mortgage debt).
I tried Linux recently (Ubuntu, I believe it was 19.10 but might've been 18.04 lts). Within minutes of booting I was searching for answers to questions that one should never have to ask (specifically, it was something to do with sound - it wasn't outputting or it was going over HDMI instead of the plugged in Aux Jack.) Linux may have gotten better, but it feels just as unfinished and confusing to me as it did 20 years ago when I first booted knoppix.
The domain currently redirects to a particular post on the centos site - confused me at first.
That totally makes sense. It also suggests that it could kickstart someone's effort to make their own tools which avoid the signature detector which is sad.

A technique we used at Blekko (and hopefully you guys do as well) was logging/tracing statistical traffic flows for normal cluster operations such that we could alert on atypical traffic (which in our case meant something was likely kinda broken but limping along and needed to be fixed/replaced.). We also didn't have to deal with APTs before we were acquired so the stakes were way lower.

Agreed that getting hacked is inevitable if the prize is worth it, always interested in adding new ways to instrument the world to detect sniffing or attacks.
Maybe they could try enforcing turnstile hopping if they need more money.
The point in them re-implementing some of the public tools is so sites like totalvirius or a hash based antivirus does not pick up on what the program is.

If they didn’t have a binary that looked reasonably different to those that already exist, then it would instantly get triggered. It is worth noting that there are tools to obfuscate sourcecode/bins.

Experts, actual experts, exist at one extreme of a bell curve where popularity is long absent. The article hints around this.

It’s also why expert beginners, an absurd concept, are even a thing. They are pretend experts not willing to abandon the foolishness so desperately essential to beginners. It’s why somebody can claim to be, and possibly appear, to be an expert but get crushed in the presence of a real expert who doesn’t dick around with the nonsense.

Experts often take the shortest path to solve the most challenging problems, which is frequently incompatible to many other people. Sometimes a code monkey is all you need.

Straightforward imo (go containers first if this is your eventual intent), with the effort involved dependent on what your service mesh, networking, and storage situation and requirements looks like. More complexity is of course going to make such an effort more work.
>In reality many judges are political hacks, and cowards that will rule in line with their political backers when it matters. This has been true for as long as humans have lived in civilization. Laws like this just give them more cover.

The law in question[0], in part, requires:

"The bill amends the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) to exclude from the definition of a government (i.e., public) record the portion of any document which discloses the home address of any active or retired 1) judge, 2) prosecutor or 3) law enforcement officer.

Further, the bill prohibits government agencies, individuals and businesses from knowingly publishing on the internet, or otherwise making available, the home address or unpublished home telephone number of any active or retired judge or any active or retired prosecutor."

Now there's certainly an argument to be made that such restrictions, if we are to have them, should be much, much, broader, given the harassment (including SWATting[1]) of other folks outside the specific job functions mentioned in the law.

I'm trying to view your comment in the best possible light, but I keep coming back to the last sentence:

"Laws like this just give them more cover."

How, exactly, do you mean that restricting access to the home addresses of such folks "gives them more cover?"

Is it your assertion that judges and other folks should have their home addresses available as some sort of extra-legal check on their authority?

What purpose does that serve? So that those who disagree with such people can go over to their house with a fruit basket and calmly discuss how their decision was incorrect and caused harm?

That seems pretty unlikely. As such, I'm forced to interpret your statement as:

"We should publish the home addresses of these people so they can be harassed, threatened, assaulted or killed if they make decisions I disagree with."

If I misunderstand you, please explain and accept my apologies.

If not, I hope I don't live anywhere near you.

That is just because they are not using something like https://bubu1.eu/openpush/ and instead implementing their own push services. This is not a problem with Android but with the apps.
It already does. https://bubu1.eu/openpush/

The fact that this is possible is something I have commented about on this very forum for years. It is trivial for the Amazons and Huaweis of the world to build an API like this that supports Google's FCM, Amazon's ADM, etc. and provide a library for developers to use that will let them easily deploy push-enabled apps on devices across all ecosystems.
There are concerted misinformation campaigns out there against anything that upsets the existing, and lazy, powers that control fossil fuels.

One of my favorite debunkers of these terrible rumors and studies is Auke Hoestra. One of his more recent debunkings, in addition to being very wrong on the facts, was funded by a shell of Aston Martin, and shilled without criticism by several "journalists" in UK papers:

Those in the renewable industry are too busy building to mount much of a defense. Perhaps once they've become rich and indolent they can start acting this way.

Also, as a side note, a typical electric car battery is enough to power the typical US house for three days. Three days of storage is probably more than we will need to get to 100% renewable energy. The very idea of converting cars to electric entails an amount of batteries that most skeptics will say is impossible. Yet we know it won't be that hard, as new reserves are developed all the time.
Especially the figures do such a great job of illustrating and clarifying the subject. Wonderful paper!
There's no license that lets people use it on a commercial website but not to sell it on a shirt.

The only way to have that situation is to keep it All Rights Reserved and make separate contracts with people for all uses. That would totally undermine your goals.

I think CC-BY-SA is what you want. People aren't likely to sell it on a shirt, and if they do, they still have to give you credit (that's the BY part), like on the shirt itself I'd think even. If you left off the -SA part, people could make new versions and make those versions restricted instead of sharing them under the same terms.

There was a strong advocacy push for dropping NC or at least renaming it CRR (commercial rights reserved) to be clearer. But CC decided that dropping it for v4 would likely just lead to people continuing to use the v3. And if they use NC anyway, better to at least have the updated legal language than the outdated version.

I really don't get this fascination with 10 year LTS. Why is it so hard to upgrade in half a decade ? I mean this is such an arbitrary number. If RHEL started offering 50 year support, people will complain that Debian is 1/10th of RHEL.
