It pains me very much to see unfortunately that food being grown in India is also moving very much in that American "large, beautiful, homogenous, easy to store and transport but bland and tasteless" direction. As an example, the market of guavas in Indias has completely transformed in last two-three years.

As an example, in the last few years, our markets have gotten flooded by these monster guavas.

https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/iihr...

I am sure they improve the farmers yield and profitablity, but they are about as watery and flavourless as a guava can possibly get. You literally get nothing on your nose when you take a sniff of one of these. Tragic. Heartbreaking.

It seems like this is inevitable whenever a country's people move from producing their own food or buying locally to getting their food from large supermarkets.

Yes, there are many specialized notations for specialized purposes. None are useful as a representation of human language. Phonetic alphabets are specialized for human language, and have proved superior to any other notation for that purpose.

I think you’re partly right but it’s not the whole story. People (not all but many) notoriously treat service/public facing workers horribly. The same people also treat those workers’ supervisors with more respect, or at least with less aggressive behavior.

They’re paying for whatever product or service they went in for. It’s not because something is free, it’s because they’ve designated certain people as servants.

I think there’s a pernicious attitude that the “free” part of open source is an entitlement to service, and that the people providing it are servants.
Interesting. I don't know if free = no value. Some of my most cherished things are gifts of relatively low replacement value.

I think products do have the ability to make us feel an emotional response, even when free?
You almost need something like a shadow ban for users like that. Or to try and outsource your ticket moderation to the community.
I agree it's worth studying and understanding. I feel like we're seeing quite a bit of it in the area of politics right now.
https://gizmodo.com/parler-users-breached-deep-inside-u-s-ca...
"The data, obtained by a computer hacker through legal means ahead of Parler’s shutdown on Monday, offers a bird’s eye view of its users swarming the Capitol grounds after receiving encouragement from President Trump — and during a violent breach that sent lawmakers and Capitol Hill visitors scrambling amid gunshots and calls for their death. GPS coordinates taken from 618 Parler videos analyzed by Gizmodo has already been sought after by FBI as part of a sweeping nationwide search for potential suspects, at least 20 of whom are already in custody."
From an arbitrary click-through of some of these, it doesn't seem to be particularly ground-breaking. I still feel that the US Navy gimball/go-fast/etc videos are the closest thing to a "smoking gun" on the subject so far, and along with the interviews with Commander David Fravor are the most credible sightings to date.

I'd really love to see the government release their real thoughts on the UAP subject - be it exotic technology from a foreign power, exotic technology from the US, or indeed extra terrestrial. However I feel we'll all be old and/or dead by the time that actually happens.
This is why a Blue Ocean Event (BOE) would really signal the start of a whole new climate regime. Not only because of the albedo change, but the energy that goes into melting ice is enormous; that heat energy would instead be transferred to the ocean water itself.
The Kubernetes CSI driver will be released soon.
I think the community forums will have to rapidly evolve to deal with the influx of new users.

If you look at successful, very large internet communities, almost none of them look like traditional forums.

I think wiki-like features could be important here, so that users can maintain high-quality references to point to during discourse. For example, reddit has subreddit wikis, and stack overflow allows questions to be repeatedly edited by the community.

It depends on the place. In Japan it is very common for cars, especially before elections, to roam the streets while shouting political stances. Politicians do the same at a road corners using a megaphone.
Depending on where you live, they absolutely can terminate lease and evict for convictions on a huge laundry list of crimes: violent crimes, crimes that were conducted out of the domicile (especially drug convictions) anything that causes irreparable harm to people or property, etc. even in places with very strong tenant-friendly laws.

Well, sure, how about access to electricity for the purpose of broadcasting? In some other fork I posted an example where Russian govt has extra-legally shut down a live opposition broadcast by cutting power to the studio.

This is not a switch, but a spectrum. Monopolies/oligopolies should be either broken down or regulated. Electrical companies should be more regulated, cloud providers less regulated, social networks perhaps much less regulated.

I frankly don't think social networks are that important at all, but I am trying to account for my biases. For many people and organizations, they are not really like a newspaper, a comparison many make here - they are more like a printing press, or a radio transmitter or something. If one company owns the entire radio spectrum or all the printing presses, it ought to be regulated.
I agree that some things fizzle out. It seems to me people collectively get bored with some ideas and move to something else. There's also infighting within the radical left.

This feels like it's confusing cause and effect. It seems more likely to me that there is no place for moderate Republicans to form community because moderate Republicans are declining in number. Communities do not create the people, people create the communities.

Saudi Crown Prince Asks: What If a City, but It's a 105-Mile Line
> ... social media freeing people from the norms of polite society, which turned out to be load-bearing.

I'm the first to acknowledge human nature has a dark side to it, but I think this phenomenon is heavily tech driven.

These problems weren't so bad back when mailing lists and forums were the predominant modes of communication.

We did still have issues back then, due to the flat-comment systems. In them, every man is an island, so you're routinely staking your reputation on everything you say, which is nuts. And commentary doesn't scale; comment sections are either dead, or overwhelmed. Once they're overwhelmed, people aren't getting their ideas noticed. We have a natural impulse to raise our voices to be heard, so we do that rhetorically.

Social media makes it far, far worse, because beyond the problems of the flat-comment system, it has an incentives problem. They get paid for more user engagement. That leads them to prioritize content that drives user engagement, which means everyone is being rewarded for amping things up. And this is feedback loop is fully automated by AI.

> That's not really the point. It's a question of whether the expectation is reasonable

That’s a made up point, though. The AWS contract makes no mention of “reasonable effort” or anything like that.

Yes, it is worthwhile to compare moderation on Parler to that of FB etc, but it has no bearing on whether Amazon had the right to terminate Parler’s contract, which they absolutely did. Within the context of that discussion the comparison to FB and Twitter is just whataboutism. They aren’t Parler and they aren’t hosted by AWS.

Create a profile to share and a profile for what you want to watch. This helps get better targeted recommendations in general, because even aside from stuff you don't want to tell people you watch, IME there's stuff you like that don't suit the people you watch with.
If I linked 50 videos and photos (you could easily find some yourself with a search engine), I suspect you would say something like "look how easily you could do this with CGI." Sure, it's true, but using that No True Scotsman line of thinking, literally nothing will change your mind.

So unless you have an answer to this alleged isolated hallucinatory mental illness that lacks any scientific rigor, can you really refute thousands of witnesses or the validity of their other forms of evidence, such as photos and videos?

No, I don't agree that "this speech" ought to be banned, and also not in this particular manner. First of all, were %%ge of Parler posts contained incitement? I honestly have no idea, but I suspect it's by far not the majority. More importantly, Brandenburg case is a pretty good standard for banning speech as far as I'm concerned, and it's a pretty high bar. What %%ge of Parler posts met THAT standard?

Is it simple? Variable length encoding doesn't have to be overly difficult, but x86 is a weird ISA. I'm not entirely familiar with what you cite so I can't really comment, but x86's semi-unbounded prefixes and sheer volume of extensions make things difficult.

A master's project might be to write a decoder, possibly to verify (prove - everything in a CPU has to be formally verified or generated from some other formally verified tool) it.

As proof I raise that many disassemblers, which run as software and are therefore much easier to write, still disagree and struggle with x86

The architect of JuiceFS is very close to GFS, which use a single node master for many years, even now. Since Redis is only responsible for metadata, a single node can serve hundreds of millions of files, and tens of thousands of IOPS, that should be enough for many use cases.

The term `distributed`, means that JuiceFS is not a `local` file system, or can only be used by single machine. JuiceFS should be qualified as distributed system, even the core part is the client, which could be used by many machines in the same time.
I don't believe it is possible to cultivate. You've either got the right mentality, or you don't. This comment [0] from an earlier discussion always sticks in my head during these conversations, though its context is somewhat different.

I also believe that self-improvement should focus on being the best possible version of yourself, not striving to be something you are not and cannot be. We are not angels (okay, I'm not -- I'll let you speak for yourself) and so we cannot expect to hold ourselves to the ideals of angels and get a worthwhile result.

And, even further, I believe that the worst sin in hiring is to hire someone toxic. Almost any other deficiency can be tolerated. Toxic people drag down everyone around them, and that's not acceptable. There are surprisingly many toxic people out there, they interview surprisingly well, and they're always in the interview pool, because they keep losing their jobs. Don't be toxic and don't hire toxic... or the team/company is completely doomed. Compared to that, choosing between "very good" and "outstandingly excellent" starts to look a bit less critical!

When every corporation agrees with you and amplifies your message, can you really call that "speaking truth to power"?
It reminds me of something my friend would often say. "I'm very passionate about your product and mission. Just that it comes at a price". Also, as the joker said it, if you are good at something don't do it for free.

It's absolutely perfect to be passionate about customers/product/whatever. However, if one is constantly distracted trying to making ends meet the cognitive bandwidth is going to be spent on it rather than chasing the passion.
The Pisang Seribu (1000 fingers banana) is indeed a sight to behold. I grew up in a village and people often plant them in their yard. Imagine seeing a 2 meters stalk filled to the brim with bananas. There were also this wild bananas with red fruits as big as forearm with seeds as big as bb pellets. Too bad they aren't sold anywhere, it's all cavendish these days.
Understandable. It's my own anecdata. For what it's worth he's been an engineer at google for about 18 years now. I trust him when he says he made an honest effort.
It's not their job to "take a stand against hate." I don't buy books from Amazon because I like their opinion on the homelessness situation in the world today. I don't ask my cashier at the grocery store his thoughts on gay marriage, and I don't expect corporations to do more than sell me goods I need.

The weird politicization of commerce is baffling to me.
I'm pretty sure what GP is saying is that they think it should work differently (to note, I disagree, although my position is that moderation for platforms like Facebook/Twitter, where visibility is off-by-default, should ideally be limited to targeted removal of explicitly illegal content, and there should be some regulation to that effect for platforms above a certain market share by some definition).
Switch is nothing as a console though. It's Nintendo and Nintendo software that makes it sell like Hot cakes. So anyone can do a Switch (and I would say the Razr ones that attach to phones are pretty good already) but Nintendo Games are what sell the Switch too.

I also recommend buying a chainmail to clean the pans, instead of using soap. Amazon sells them for $10 https://www.amazon.com/cast-iron-chainmail/s?k=cast+iron+cha...

Cleaning gets much easier:

1. Rinse dirty pan out with some warm water
2. Clean the chunks and stuff that sticks to the pan with the chainmail
3. Rinse again under some warm water

That’s it. The oil from whatever you were cooking should still be on there; no need to put peanut or avocado oil on there unless you burnt it all off or cooked something acidic (use a different pan for that; you’ll learn).
The Utrecht Haskell Compiler[1] tried to break through the barrier by using attribute grammars[2] and attempts WHO. This also has the benefit of being more modular. However, Overall GHC still feels faster, I am unsure whether this is due to more costly optimisations or something else.

On the flip side though, lots of FOSS project maintainers want a large user base for fame and glory but also want to omit support for that large user base to instead pursue whatever interests the maintainers, as opposed to what is evidently needed, all under the disingenuous guise that not being directly compensated entitles any arbitrary planning policy.

While users have no justification for being rude or insulting, they absolutely do have justification to be frustrated if you want to have your cake (compensation in the form of notoriety due in large part to the willingness of others to actually use your FOSS project) and eat it too (not prioritize plans, bug fixes, or features in accordance with what that user base needs & requests, over and above what you prefer).

I’m not saying this applies to you specifically, but it does apply to many FOSS projects, and arguments of infinite entitlement to strand users who bring your project notoriety because the compensation isn’t in currency format are totally specious and deserve to be met with (polite) frustrated pushback.
Maybe you are building something performance sensitive.

Since POSIX is so complicated that we would not trust the test we wrote to prove the compatibility.

So we use several third-party test suite, including fsx, pjdfstest, fsracer, flock. We also use third-party tools for benchmark, fio, mdtest and others.
I mean, I'm sorry to break this to you but if you're good at data science or complex backend web development it's pretty common. I was making around $225k CAD a year (straight cash, not counting options) at 500px a decade ago when it was around 35 people. Now nominally I was Chief Data Scientist and it included some IP from my two person startup they acquired, but it was an aquihire and everyone knew it. I had just turned 27.

Look for startups funded by pro investors with deep pockets that operate in Canada and negotiate with a willingness to walk away.

They were bought deep ITM, but there have been news catalysts that could bring them ATM/OTM. I think at one point the share price came quite close to the strike intraday.

It seems the timing was more of a cover for what they already had planned, or at least not every chance was given. Small features in large apps take months, and big features easily take a year. It didn't seem in good faith IMHO, granted this isn't just AWS at the moment.

This comment was about the submitted title, "We could have predicted the events of January 6th from Parler's data". The submitter changed it to "Violent hashtag frequencies in Parler", which is now also the title of the article. I've since changed it to the first sentence, which feels (to me at least) more neutral, and have turned off the flags on the post.
