Rumor is that Taiwan already has this handled. That there are rooms with explosives to scuttle the plants if the China lands troops on the island.

Removes the option of a painless transfer of power so that the US is still geopolitically interested in a independent Taiwan.
There really isn’t a good middle ground yet.

I am a software developer for 15 years and I don't know a single developer who make more than 100K$ a year in Germany (I only talk about regular employment and not about freelancers, because freelancers can work overtime and get bills from other countries including USA).
Timing out packets instead of denying them could certainly be an issue (I run across this a lot with internet being down while the router and internal DNS is still up).

But your claim that “any OS will start to show trouble” is not how it’s supposed to work, nor how it used to work before 24/7 connections, nor even how it should work assuming you’re ok with phone-home daemons.
Who sells tether for less than a dollar for them to buy? Surely if it is pegged to a dollar you should be able to hold out for that price.
Actually, it's called abstraction, as a technical point.
Linode and Digital Ocean docs also are leagues ahead of AWS. They cover a lot of stuff. I didn’t even know what fail2ban was when one of my VPS’s got hacked. Went through all their docs, they cover a lot and really helped me understand how much I didn’t know while at the same time providing guides on getting up to speed.

AWS won’t tell you about those things because they sell you security, so you remain a dumbass about those things indefinitely.
make more laws that make it expensive to run a company so never get big companies which in turn in results in no big community/supply and lack of entire eco-system.
This is why the actual billionaires - including and particularly the ones who setup ycombinator - such as sama and Peter Theil have bunkers outside the US that they plan to flee to (and in some cases did at the start of COVID) to avoid the mess that they've created in the US.

The people cosplaying here by repeating the values that Peter et al want them to quake will be the ones left behind.
Oppression Through Social Control
It would be responsible of them if they had done it in a situation where they weren't pressured into the decision by media outlets.
Haha, it sounds like you have it covered. Even more so if you were to run on GKE (which I use and adore).

When not to use it is a tough question. If I was ever in charge of a company, kubernetes would be the only way of running my product that I would consider. I am a fan of kubernetes as I use it every day but I have also been on the other side of the fence. I have run production systems on bare metal, VMs, EC2 instances, etc. The operational burden of anything non-kube is too much and takes time away from solving big problems such as stability, scaling, deploy, monitoring and more. The solutions to the problems become standard, boring and consistent.

I say the above as someone that spent over a year migrating an entire platform/product from ECS to GKE. It is not perfect but so many silly day to day interruptions have been eliminated. Retired and broken instances are a thing of a past. Scaling is easy. Stability is easier.

Side effects of the move are that our Ops team is 1/2 the size it was a year ago (attrition/covid), we are running 3 times the number of product stacks for 1/3rd the cost. I should really blog about that one!
Without knowing it, they reinvented the Kubernetes informer which I've proven can scale way past their current scale.
He might not be being sarcastic, servers are expensive and every little slice helps, though I think the cdn aspect changes this question somewhat.
>not an app

That foible stands out as humorous. Why does a solution to a problem need to be a smart phone app? lol

Otherwise excellent points.
Gaddafi was not, to my knowledge, in control of any WebPKI CA=True certificates.
Wait, that isn't a feature?
I think your second point is next to impossible, businesses make mistakes no matter how much they try to stop them and what makes them who they are is how they respond.

In this case Apple responded well and that's great. We don't know how many of these decisions are already being squashed each day through appropriate governance.
While I think WSL is an option worth investigating, it is not the answer for everyone.

I jumped from XP to Windows 10 with WSL1 and had used Linux and macOS in between. It took me a few days to come across a bunch of pain points I was surprised had not changed; I do not like the install/uninstall scatter-shot method, monthly reboots for updates, control panels feel like archeology digging older UIs for settings, the window freezes and I cannot resize/minimize when the app is busy, I do not like Explorer or the windowing UI. PowerShell in practice seemed too verbose for interactive use and the learning curve/adoption was too steep to be productive (everyone else on the small team was writing BAT files). I got tripped up by odd things like offline documentation and you had to wrap it in a BAT file to automate it. I also don't like compiling stuff for Windows. I don't begrudge anyone who likes Windows, but I have a very strong preference for the other OSes. I might have some of those details wrong, but that's what I remember from the transition. I wished I had kept a diary because I forget a lot of it now.

WSL (admittedly v1) was a bit odd and hefty to install. The account/permissions and locations of files was awkward. I found myself ssh-ing into a Linux box to do a lot of things.
How do you reconcile this:

> Each tether is created when someone gives up a dollar.

With this:

> The only concern is that maybe they don’t have enough reserves to cover all the tether they created

If they're accepting dollars and creating Tethers in exchange, then they should have 1:1 reserves as they claim, right?

The concern is that they're creating Tethers without having the cash to back it up, indirectly using those Tethers to prop up the price of BTC, and hoping that no one tries to withdraw Tethers beyond their ability to pay out.

For comparison, consider that Bernie Madoff ran his ponzi scheme out of his bank account for almost two decades. He created imaginary "profits" on paper and paid out "returns" to investors who wanted to cash out. The scheme worked as long as no one tried to withdraw enough returns to take his bank account balance below $0. The fear is that Tether is a similar scheme to inject fake money into the Bitcoin ecosystem, which can't realistically be proved unless people try to withdraw more USDT than Tether has in their bank account, at which point the system implodes.
Perhaps more comparable is the cash for every citizen programs that many oil rich gulf states run.

Yes you can! My company did! I know many companies that do! It’s just limited to offshore orgs that pass compliance and redeem large blocks at a time. Redemption isn’t for retail.
You also can't make a transistor out of a single atom. The fact that you need doped silicon to have a semiconductor rather than just silicon as an insulator means that we'll be cut off well before then. A ~50x reduction in feature size (so that's 6ish nodes of shrink) is about what I've heard about industry expectations.

That being said the future never ceases to surprise.
What kind of CEO makes 250 million?

Microsoft's CEO made ~44 million last year, and Microsoft is a trillion dollar company (https://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/news/2020/10/20/microsof....)
Dropbox should have remained lean. From what I heard they had a hiring frenzy, they were dipping their toes into many products. Dropbox paper is “meh”. Other than the core syncing product, they didn’t get anything solid that was top of its class.

Also agree re: anti-competitive behavior from MS and GOOG. The law ought to be simple: you can’t bundle things as free into other things just to fend off competitors.

Goog is taking its ad money and probably the worst offender.
As FYI, it’s still owned by Foxconn; that was a joke.
As long as the cut-off is fairly simple, I really think a BI (as you call it) is a good idea.

This is from a UK perspective, but my opinion on this is partly practical (to avoid waste) and partly ethical as the ruling classes generally don't view poor people as being worthy of financial autonomy (They actually have more in common with socialists on this matter that they would be comfortable with).

We've just seen recently a scandal where the government, rather than just giving people money ("Money can be exchanged for goods and services."), has paid some contractor to dole out - at potentially significant cost, although the figure seems to be wildly varying depending on whom you ask - some tins of beans and pasta.

Your source points to an article about horseshoe crabs... Can you update it? I'd be interested to red about your claim.
I'd reckon per unit area, Intel's cost on 14nm wafers are going to run to less than 25% of TSMC's ask price at 7nm.

Do keep in mind that a fair amount of a desktop chip is pad space, IO hasn't shrunk since 22nm nodes, DUV steppers are dirt cheap, Intel's foundries are fully amortized, and yields at 14nm are going to be approaching 100%.
But the market pays unskilled laborers $15 in the US (Amazon, Target, Walmart), which puts it ahead of all EU government minimums, right?

Also, those jobs do pay a lot more in the expensive cities. Remember the story of the San Francisco transit janitor who made $270k / year?

This presumes that all opened issues are decent. It also presumes that the author of the issue responds to feedback. What I would quantify as drive-by issues include poorly written, lacking information, or providing information that results in a follow up reply from other users or maintainers with a fix or ask for more information that goes unanswered.

"library X fails with this input" is great, unless the input is wrong, the usage is wrong, or the environment is awry - and those issues are useless if the author doesn't reply to follow up replies.
Vancouver and the GTA for sure, Ottawa had been relatively affordable - prices in town went up before COVID, but down during. Montreal remains quite affordable. Edmonton and Calgary aren't bad, and Kitchener/Waterloo's pretty reasonable still. I mean, it's clear a lot of that is mainland Chinese money parking, which cities are actively pushing back on.
That's more or less true in the U.S. too, at the rates software engineers make, at least in NY and CA. In my locality a software engineer making $100k will face a 40% marginal tax rate.
I think your method has a lot of complexity under the hood. For example, you need a republican and a democrat to co-host a show. Does the republican need to be pro trump? Does the democrat need to be anti trump? Do you think a Liz Cheney and AOC hosted show would be politically neutral? You seem to have this idea of what a "textbook" conservative/liberal is, and I think that sort of binary representation is harmful to political discourse at large. You'll find democrats care more about government spending than some republicans. You'll find anti gun republicans, and pro gun democrats. Who represents each side? How do you make sure all viewpoints are represented (green and libertarian)?

This is the curse of dimensionality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_dimensionality. the more complex the subject the less likely it is for someone to actually be able to represent the "Average" of everything.

“Fortunately criticizing Putin isn't grounds for being assassinated, as can be seen by the literal millions of people in Russia who haven't been murdered yet. It's easy: be nobody and have a discussion about your political beliefs in the kitchen with only close relatives.”

All well known recent deplatforming cases were done on a flimsy grounds for off-platform activities. They are very hard to defend.
No, a neat solution to one, not at all theoretical problem: how to maintain a append-only database (eg mapping domain names to registrant public keys and (less critically) append-only lists of signed IP addresses) without giving any participant the ability to either redact the database (eg remove the registration for thepiratebay.org) or prevent (specific or any) future appendments (eg, prevent new IP addresses for thepiratebay.org).

You're quite right that "solution in search of a problem" is not accurate, though.
The gigantic majority of users who are not firewall developers as well as the gigantic majority who never touches the betas both seem like sensible and important sources of feedback.
Why are they buying Tether instead of simply buying Bitcoin?

It's 2021. It's not hard to buy BTC at the institutional scale any more. Why arbitrarily go through a middleman to buy USDT, then use that same middleman to sell your USDT for BTC?

A Martian Sunset (2012)
When Ruby and Rails were first getting popular in the English-speaking world, around 2008 to 2011, the documentation and community really were excellent for their size, which was a substantial contributing factor to the growth of the language. PHP, on the other hand, was pretty appalling.

Elixir inherited some of the Ruby history and contributors, and has some of the same strengths.
WHAT? That's exactly where performance issues come from. Chances that the client side code is so poor the site doesn't load is very low.
Or perhaps more importantly, who loses.
The talent they are competing for can work anywhere, and this untethering of geolocation is only increasing. The relevant market of candidates for large European cities is increasingly just a pan-Western talent market, and lower cultural salary norms are really hurting Europe, leading to brain drain and reduction of major tech hubs.
> If you aren’t willing to fork over $100/year to at least minimally tie an identity to your actions and go through all the signing nuisance then you don’t get control of my computer.

I think what people who think like you are missing is that developers also don't want to control your computer if they have to go though all this hassle. It's a two way street.
I wonder if for some people, getting their dick ransomed by a stranger on the internet is part of the fetish.
But does it make any difference whether it's a man or woman? It always seems that there is a desire to make an issue in these cases about race and/or gender to drive more division into society.
Frankly; it's not up to you to determine what info maintainers need - thinking otherwise is an entirely entitled point of view. That's why the project members and maintainers ask for what they need to triage not just your issue, but all issues from a wide variety of users on any variety of platforms.

If you can't take a few extra seconds to enter information in a template, why on earth should maintainers donate their time to you to triage what you're reporting?
There are other manufacturers with flawless records. The data is right there on the NHTSA web site. Tesla is nothing special.

UBI and welfare (what we have in Australia) are very different. Andrew Yang has spoken about this better than I could off the top of my head, but to add a few things about our system (which does work very well from a global perspective):

* The stigma (in non-covid times) toward "dole bludgers" is pretty significant. We're a pretty egalitarian society, but there's a fairly common distain towards welfare recipients. This would likely be reduced if everyone was receiving the payment.

* You mentioned that recipients receive payments even if they quit or can't be bothered getting a job. That's kind of the situation with the current payment (JobSeeker), which was created last year when covid hit. The usual adult benefit (formally called Newstart allowance) had very strict "mutual obligations" and required you to apply for N number of jobs per fortnight otherwise your benefits were cut (https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/topics/mutu...). Also, if you quit a job you would have a cooldown period (usually 8 weeks) before you would receive benefits (with exceptions for injuries, redundancy, etc).

* Rent assistance is basically guaranteed. If you pay rent, you will get a portion of this covered.

* Our welfare program also includes a pharmaceutical discount (almost all prescription meds are $6.60 for recipients).

It's a really decent program overall, but it's not UBI.
As opposed to the current system, which is...not destroying society?
It should have a feature that if someone locks it and cannot unlock, it will unlock after a long period of time, for example, 3 months, to make it safe to use.
I think their reticence to document is more a function of how long they’ve been able to get away with not doing it. Almost every engineering culture that finds that balance unfortunately embraces it.
A higher percentage of software engineers, though, like the thread was asking?
: ) Don't get me started on LiveView, i was only talking about mimicking rails mixins with the "use" macro in phoenix.

But now that you ask: The LiveView Idea to use websockets in general purpose web applications to achieve "reactivity" is an abomination, we have SSE and HTTP2 and also SPAs for that matter, which are from an operational and reasoning standpoint 1000% simpler and actually made for this kind of thing.

Websockets are for things like multiplayer shooters or collaborative drawing, why would someone think it is appropriate to use it to react to clicking a button.
A lot of solutions referenced in this thread are using graph databases.

It's actually shocking how crowded this space has become.

Everyone is racing to monetize note taking apps and as a result developers are trying to give it away for free now.
You’re right, I didn’t. Thank you for saying so with much more clarity than I probably would have.
On the contrary, this might be why institutional investors are rushing into Bitcoin. It's a near-perfect venue to capitalize on fraud, and it's easy for others to ride the coattails of that fraud.

In 2021, Bitcoin is relatively liquid. They can quietly exit their positions at some point when they suspect a collapse is around the corner. Of course, you won't see announcements that these investors have sold their BTC until they're bragging about it after the next crash. They only announce BTC purchases because it drives follow-on investments, which drives the price up for them.
Are you a developer in Japan? What is that like and what space do you work in? I’ll never be able to move to Japan but it sounds very interesting to me.

This is great news for people who own an aging S or X. I have a 2017 Tesla and the screen started spazzing out on me a while back but I drive pretty often. I willfully purchased an upgrade that solved the problem as the new screen (MCU) doesn't have the same architecture that caused the failure. I'd be nice to be compensated for my willful upgrade but at least other people can stick it to Tesla.

I LOVE the car and will stick to it that it's the best car I've ever owned but it has its flaws and hopefully this recall teaches Tesla a lesson.
Oh, I love these ideas! I'm sure advanced civilizations have AIs, suoercomputers, lots of experience with this situation and some heuristics to help them decide, but i love doing the thought experiments with you :)

I agree the mere appearance of an advanced civilization could be a corrupting influence on the soon-to-be space faring savages, but then again the brutes might have other more pressing character flaws. At the same time maybe it would make sense for the advanced civilization to contact them in a covert manner so that there is sort of plausible deniability or non-verifiability to seed the ideas and create some sort of influence but limit the impact, which itself is a strategy which could create a sort of corrupt back channel between the terrestrial population and the advanced influencers.

But judging from the way that state departments handle these things it seems that early and persistent outreach, both covert and overt, and infiltration, and a mix of carrots (advanced tech, trade?) and sticks (erasure?) is the preferred method of maintaining some sort of control and relationship to manage the emerging threat or at least try to guide the development in a manner which the advance civilization sees as promoting whatever values are interests that it has.

Following the track your ideas lay out, seems if there were others out there that we're civic minded in a cosmic sense, they wouldn't adopt a hands off approach
> the gigantic majority who never touches the betas

I was replying to a comment that literally said, "That's why Apple has the Developer and Public Beta releases for iOS/OSX", so maybe you should argue with that comment instead of with me.
The irony is that with all your knowledge you can't see that even if that is a universally desirable situation it isn't scalable.
It would probably have been more secure.
Most everything I develop is in .NET and will run comfortably in Nginx, IIS, or an Azure App Service Resource.

It's not that hard.

In my experience most developers just inherit the infrastructure and even the base project from someone else. They've never stood up a server or configure anything from scratch so they have no idea what they're doing.
No. Conservative thought absolutely rofltstomps on Facebook and is all over Twitter, which was, until a few days ago and by his own choice Trump's most important media venue. Conservative thought is so prevalent on Youtube that people post videos of the insane PragerU stuff their 8 year olds get recommended after watching a video or two.

There's really only two things that have reliably gotten people booted from any of these platforms:

* Appeals to violence

* Overt KKK-grade bigotry

I've been watching the "alternative" platforms for the last couple years. It got boring last year when it was looking increasingly like one of the major two, the one accurately described as "one of the less popular Mastodon instances", was simply going to fold --- the bot posts were outnumbering the real ones. That's because all the conservatives were on Twitter and Facebook, and they still are.
At least in the example on this page, it performs .fadeOut() by changing the opacity via JavaScript instead of using the CSS transition property. You can verify by inspecting the DOM

https://api.jquery.com/fadeOut/

Edit: I just realized you said "transforms". Transforms are a separate question from transitions. CSS transforms are concerned with giving an element a different size, rotation, and/or position. Transitions are concerned with changing any given CSS property gradually over time (including potentially transforms). I think you're right that jQuery started using CSS transforms, but it does not appear to use CSS transitions.
Its possible that they saw it as a purely positive move that would improve security on MacOS and then after seeing everyone's response they reevaluated its importance.
Exactly. People brigade from elsewhere too.
