Starlink will have at least 700 satellites. And not only astronomers are unhappy. It's the most ridiculous way to provide an internet service anyway!
I’m sure this will be a popular comment, not, but when you arm citizens you arm morons too.
That’s usually the case, but it’s also true that nation-states do hack companies. A large cybersecurity firm being attacked for details of their government clients does sound like something a nation-state would be interested in. If you’re trying to make money that doesn’t seem like the most straightforward route.
Golang. Didn’t think much of it.
I think anyone who cares about accessibility and uses this for something serious would instinctively put more information in the README.md, and most people who aren’t even accessibility-minded will too because an SVG is really unlikely to tell the whole story even if all the content is embedded in it (which is almost certainly impractical since it’s not actually scalable).
If I get access to those devices, yeah, sure. But in practice, I'd argue this actually reduces privacy for users, as it gives apps and devices a secure path through the network which cannot be monitored by any intermediary - including the user of the app or the owner of the device themselves. So no chance to find out what kind of data is being transmitted there either.

To me, DoH seems less about protecting the user from attackers and more about protecting apps and devices from the user.
Yes, just like a proxy or a VPN.

Faster - but it does not solve the problem.
This rings true in the UK as well. With mainstream publications and members of government attacking “lefty lawyers” and “unelected judges” simply for doing their job, which is to uphold the law, we need to take the rhetoric we apply to these situations seriously. There need to be serious consequences for credible threats of violence against people, even when made by people in the public sphere.

Furthermore, I hear a lot of people say things like “how can lawyers defend people who do such horrible things”. I think it is an important part of our education to understand civics, and why we are entitled to a defence, rather than just subjected to the whims of an inquisition. Having a well-resourced defence for alleged criminals (and other legal aid in civil cases) means that we can be certain as a society that we get the right person for crimes, and ensures the system runs as intended.
I've not read that analysis before, thanks for the great read!
The issue we have is that we are a very peeky computation requirements (not a steady stream of calculations going on).

Further, we've got a fairly deep data processing pipeline. It's not unusual for us to see high loads on early parts of the system 1 hour and 1 hour later seeing high loads on the later parts of the system.

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a way to scale out and reassign resources. That means we've built out for our peaks even though the majority of the time that hardware is sleeping.

We could spend the time building out a scaling system (right now, our resources are all on prem). However, why do that when we can instead take advantage of k8s already built in scaling capabilities?

So, technically not k8s that will be saving us money, but rather implementing autoscaling. However, the solution with k8s is really nice.

DoorDash Is Expected to Price IPO at Around $102 a Share at $39B Valuation
Nope, love it.
Many phenomena that are unbounded by physical laws follow power law distributions. Nassim Taleb uses book sales as an example: popular authors get more popular exponentially. But something physically bounded like height follows a normal distribution.

To put it another way, let's say you have two randomly selected authors. Their average earnings are $1,000,000 per year. Is it more likely that they each earn roughly $1,000,000 per year, or that one earns $1,000,000+ and the other almost nothing?

On the other hand, you have two women whose average height is 1.7m. Is it more likely that one woman is 30cm tall and the other is over 3m tall or that they are both roughly 1.7m?

This article covers the economic side pretty well:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-29/trump-s-c...

No action on jobs, no progress on IP infringement or tech transfer, no action on currency manipulation or subsidies, trade deficit remains huge.

And that's without mentioning the TPP or South China Seas or treatment of minorities or Hong Kong and Democracy or basic human rights or Covid.

China is a huge issue. The huge issue of the next decade. Its the only thing I agree with Trumps manifesto about. But on all these fronts, trump has at best achieved nothing and at worse looked weak, weakened the Web of alliances that made China hesitate and make the US look weak and ineffective.

He rolled over on trade, the deficit jobs and ip in his failed little "trade war". He rolled over when he supported Xi over protestors. He's been too busy making hay and fucking up to properly question why zoonotic viruses keep coming out of China so he's rolled over on that too.

Failing to ban tiktok is yet another example of how poorly he's done.

Seriously, reasonable people on all sides agree that China is an issue. No one can say trump has made any progress on China.
It's "Rules for thee and not for me"'s cousin, "Rights for me and not for thee." And it should be considered as just as hypocritical.
If I got the money I would host a massive LAN party in some kind of mansion, with different cash money tournaments for competitive games from all eras, a gaming rig competition where builders compete on performance and aesthetics, indie game developer showcase, catering, atmosphere models, DJs, a network operations center, and invite some celebrities as well... Would be sick.
Well said but the fact remains it's easier to feign people management when attending to technical Tasks. Tracking Responsibility tends not to fit the mold of HR mandated performance accounting.
Except acquisitions work out just as often as they don't.
Totally agree. Get everyone's details off the internet and you get those who are more equal than others' off as well. You shouldn't get special privileges because you work for the government.
Privacy for me, not for thee.
I do. Nobody is in there, it's an even better destination now.
What about criminals who choose to use guns whether smart or dumb?
Yes, you arm your citizens to protect them against morons. We should arm them more.
I’m confused as to what your second paragraph is trying to say. Spotify made 6.7B In revenue last year - not profit. Of that about 5B is paid out to the world’s musicians and record labels (technically bandwidth is probably in that number too, but it’s likely not a huge factor). The remaining 1.7B is marketing, R&D, and admin.

In other words, Spotify’s 1.7B cut is about 25%.

For comparison, in 1995 if you bought a CD the record store would take a ~35% cut.

I completely agree.

The New Jersey statute itself is arguably vague with respect to what constitutes "risk" and an intent to cause harm. Such arbitrary laws give law enforcement and prosecutors significant discretion and open the door for abuse to such an extent that I could see this being used to violate peoples' First Amendment rights. Another unconstitutional law out of New Jersey, color me shocked. :o

The public should be able to hold peaceful protests and hold public officials accountable.
True and when you let your citizens say and propagate anything they want on social media you let morons say and propagate stuff on social media too.
>Here is the congressional sworn testimony of Shawn Henry, the CEO of Crowdstrike, specifically saying that there is no concrete evidence of Russian hacking of the DNC.

It feels like you're being deliberately dishonest. Your "money quote" is about whether there were was concrete evidence of the hackers exfiltrating data from the DNC, not about "Russian hacking of the DNC" .

What Shawn Henry is saying there is that they have evidence of the hackers preparing data for exfiltration, but no
concrete evidence of the data being transferred out. Unless the malware used by the hackers stores detailed logs, this is to be expected. It would be unreasonable to doubt that the exfiltration happened on this basis.

>In fact, there was a smoking gun to a disgruntled ex employee

There wasn't. None of your links substantiate this claim.

The wikipedia section consists of uninformed clowns like Sabu and hilarious quotes like "State-sponsored attackers don't create cool names for themselves like 'Guardians of Peace' and promote their activity to the public.". There's no genuine attempt at convincing criticism of the NK attribution to be found here.

>As for federal indictment on North Korea, that means nothing on the merits or dubiousness of the North Koreans hacking Sony

The federal government has a pretty good track record of getting these things right. The DOJ certainly believes that NK did the Sony hack.
Thank you! We have very similar interests! Especially the first one and the interactive sound recognition one. Any other work in IML you'd recommend?
Agreed, that process works wonders.

Incidentally, Debrox is carbamide peroxide, which is basically equivalent to hydrogen peroxide. Debrox is $11/oz on Amazon, while hydrogen peroxide is around $.50/oz.
yeah if you're one of the richest people in China don't bait the CCP and financial regulators before doing the largest IPO in the nation. That's different from someone posting memes on the internet.
Citizens arm themselves. Law-abiding ones only do it if it's legal to do so.
Haha. Sorry! I though it was a sarcastic yes! It was good to actually work it out anyway for my own peace of mind :)
Okay, this is a serious question. For me, not an official RH position. In my time in HPC, nodes were baked with a specific image and then that basically never ever got updates. As I came to that as a sysadmin from other areas, I found that somewhat horrifying, but it seemed pretty universal. Have things changed such that applying patches regularly (like, more often than once a month or so except in emergencies) is a thing?
Not quite as TS Eliot was heavily influenced by Dante which shows in his poems/writings. Eliot considered Dante to be the greatest writer. So if there was any comparison Eliot would have been comfortable with, it would have been to Dante.
~1.5x reed solomon is the default these days, again, unless you need read throughput performance. It is awesome :)

Also, these days the storage of the data doesn't have to be at the same machine that processes the data. A lot of datacenter setups have basically zero transfer cost (or, alternatively, all the within-DC transfer cost is in the CAPEX required to build the DC in the first place), ultra low latency, and essentially unlimited bandwidth for any within-datacenter communication. This doesn't hold for dc1->dc2 communication, in particular it is very very far from the truth in long distance lines.

One way to think about the above is that datacenters have become the new supercomputers of the IBM era - it's free and really fast to exchange data within a single DC.

Also2, this is completely independent of consistency guarantees. At best it relates to durability guarantees, but that I want from all storage solutions. And yes, properly done reed solomon has the same durability guarantees as plain old replicated setup.

Also to the above also2, single-DC solutions are never really durable as the DC can simply burn down or meet some other tragic end, you need geographic replication if your data cannot be accidentally lost without serious consequences (a lot of data actually can be lost, in particular if it is some kind of intermediate data that can be regenerated from the "source" with some engineering effort). This is not just a theoretical concern, I've seen "acts of God" destroy single-DC setups data, ay least partially. It is pretty rare, though.
However, if you're in the SMB space and run CentOS as production because money is tight but you wanted a stable LTS distro and have never needed any technical support, this move has just yanked the rug out from under you and there appear to be no provisions in the pipeline to change that.

Your only option is to migrate away from RHEL/CentOS, period. It's likely that Red Hat doesn't care much about us smaller orgs with only 100-200 servers/VMs though. Sad day.
How did you avoid filling the void with takeaways? I’m probably the least fit I’ve ever been.
Ask HN: How do you handle flat file integration in your SaaS?

My household has the opposite experience. Partner hates the roku remote and interface and vastly prefers the appleTV.
Again you keep referring to DoT and DoH which I insist do not encrypt your dns queries from your ISP. They may offer added security but do not keep your requests private. ODoH attempts to keep your requests private from the resolver only. A benefit which is a good step but doesn't ultimately keep your dns private from your ISP.

This is the major flaw I find with such claims of encrypted dns. Your isp can still see which sites you visit, oDoH or not.
You can always use systemd and pick an orchestration tool like ansible,cdk or terraform

Being anonymous or more private make judges more safe but it might also make it easier for them to get away with stuff.

How should one think?
I don't think "first class" citizens is the right classification. There are certain fields/work that are inherently more risky or serve a critical component of society. We are seeing this exact thing pan out now with medical care--doctors and nurses are precious resources and if we don't protect them, we put our overall societal health at risk. Same is true for judges--if you don't protect them, you put the rule of law at risk which is a way of protecting everyone.
It was a technical question about the predictive power of language models, the biases encoded in them and the results of their use in a large system like all of Google's connected products.

But I guess to your particular faith-based ideology the mention of race makes it a "social issue"? Anyway I'm sorry I misclassified you and in the process insulted your religious beliefs. That wasn't my intention.
Docker vs. Containerd vs. Nabla vs. Kata vs. Firecracker
Eh, when someone goes out of their way to target a judge I believe they'll find the weapons necessary no matter their legality.
It just comes down to something as simple as: "if I have shown you 1M different things, and now show you one more thing, what do you have to do to tell me whether that one thing is new or not?"

If you can keep a hash map of the things you've seen, then it is easy to respond quickly to that one new thing. If you are not allowed to maintain any state, then you don't have a lot of options to efficiently respond to the new thing, and most likely need to re-read the 1M things.

That's the benefit of being stateful. There is a cost too, which is that you need to be able to reconstruct your state in the case of a failure, but fortunately things like differential dataflow (built on TD) are effectively deterministic.

Also, I suspect "Spark" is a moving target. The original paper described something that was very much a batch processor; they've been trying to fix that since, and perhaps they've made some progress in the intervening years.
Linux considers stable driver API as a nonsense. SoC manufacturers don't want to open source their drivers, they prefer to ship blobs and they prefer not to support those blobs for a future kernel updates. Those facts means that you can't upgrade your kernel. When you can't upgrade your kernel, you can't upgrade your userspace which depends on new kernel features. So basically your software is stuck and eventually obsolete.

There are two ways out of this situation. You can either replace Linux with another kernel with stable driver API or you can replace SoC manufacturers with those willing to upstream their drivers. Probably it's easier to go to the first route.

> In Fuschia's case it will be like that but the exploitation either gives you access to that driver's capabilities, or simply that driver is giving out handles with permissions insufficiently removed from them

Yes, and then you would have to own a component in some route that received the driver exposed capability. Either way, the tight sandoxing and compartmentalization of functionality make things difficult.

Pennsylvania Election Officially Contested
That’s really working out well isn’t it.
I agree with you in principle -- the "web sites should never do things like choose their own typefaces, line lengths and line spacing" crowd always makes me sigh.

However.

We're not talking about web sites here, we're talking about README files. They should be absolutely readable and understandable if you're displaying them in a console -- that's arguably one of the underlying tenets of Markdown as it was originally conceived (e.g., that its source be as easily readable as a plain text email or Usenet message is). I like that GitHub renders Markdown documents, but a lot of time when you're mucking around with source, you're looking at, well, the plain document.

I think this is a fun hack to demonstrate how you can do ridiculous things in technically-still-Markdown documents, but it's unequivocally not something anyone should actually do in their Markdown documents. :)
Not everyone has the same risks. Take child protective services workers as an example I’m familiar with.

These folks can be systematically targeted because of their job, which is much harder to protect yourself against. I understand your thought process, but it seems unfair to not provide basic protections to people working on our behalf.
Worth it just for this line:
“I Vasco used to be pretty good at Microsoft Access, I guess I’ll be the database guy.”
In general, I don't disagree but isn't the second point ultimately a tautology? Certainly an otherwise law abiding citizen might arm themself with no intention of committing a further crime.
I understand and sympathize with this view. But it seems likely that a federal judge is more likely to be a target of something like this. Mostly because of the nature of their work.
Indeed.

I'll be honest in saying that I do think the so called "lefty lawyers" are usually defending people most don't like (e.g. foreign criminals), but I also hate the government's characterisation of the lawyers themselves. Like freedom of speech, people have a right to a defence.

In fact, part of having a strong legal system is the fact that it optimises for false negatives. Better to let 100 criminals go free than one person unjustly imprisoned.
A lot of times README doesn’t adequately convey the value of (especially UI-oriented) libraries. And the UX of linking out to formats that do is also terrible (I’m saying this as someone who does a lot of library research on my porch using my phone, constantly forgetting my breadcrumb trail because I’ve been bounced back and forth between the GH app and a few dozen browser tabs).

There’s definitely a valid use case for more visually expressive walk up experiences for many code projects that could and IMO should be supported at the repository host level. It doesn’t have to be myspace but it could definitely support more embedded example cases and at least some personality.

What the system should reward is material that is actively chosen by users. Whenever the system chooses a track, that should not be rewarded as much (or perhaps not at all) compared to when the user chooses a track.
> However, the "bazaar" is also a bit of a myth in this regard. I'm not really aware of any open source projects where I can go submit a PR without talking to anybody and have the expectation that it'll be merged without discussion.

I am aware of one, but an important one: ZeroMQ. Thanks to the late Pieter Hintjens, this project has C4 model. I have not seen any other project where I submitted a PR and maintainer accepted it less than half-hour later, no questions asked. And it works wonderfully; ZeroMQ is live and well.
> The public should be able to hold peaceful protests and hold public officials accountable.

That should not extend to people's private homes. You want to protest a public official, go protest at their office.

Ask HN: What comes after social media? What's out there already?
I can't decide if there is a massive movement underway or a vocal minority becoming slightly bigger. People say one thing and do another, this is history in many ways.

What else is out there? What else is emerging? Anything new or interesting?
