> Working with containers always feels like magic.

Containers are just application - which existed for many decades - in a single-process (roughly) operating system. Like MS DOS.

Nothing magical except containerized processes can't talk to each other directly - there are security boundaries.

People who do value it use it that way (and this is the only widely available platform that allows them to do so today). You'll see many such users on this very forum, but as you observed, there aren't that many in total. This says something unfortunate about the size of Purism's addressable market but not much about Android itself.
This is a really funny article for me to see, because I am currently sitting in high school, ignoring my teacher who is teaching this book. Great timing.
Depends on what you mean by official. The NRO has geostationary satellites whose sole purpose is to slurp up all RF across its footprint for later analysis. This is not used for FCC rule enforcement.

In the Capitol area, it's highly likely multiple agencies are capturing all RF for later analysis. This is also not used for FCC rule enforcement.

The FCC has the ability to locate signals using directionfinding equipment, but as mentioned elsewhere, usually that's left to Amateurs themselves on their bands.

I am confused by the article as it seems to simply be a description of some utopian implementation of socialism, with the Luddite layer being entirely superfluous flavoring to the argument i.e. the meat of the problem resides on the implementation of a society that collectively heads towards collective goals. Obviously if you can achieve that things would probably improve quickly but getting there is the entire challenge, if it is even possible without an adequate surplus. It's tautologically the case that in a society primed to implement technology well that technology will be implemented well.

It is more likely that you can get to such a world through the haphazard implementation of tech giving way to rights than the reverse that is outlined here. We've only started to get to democratic systems because the surplus became so large it could no longer be effectively captured in its entirety. We have some data on tech giving rise to higher living standards by accident, and a healthy dose of examples of revolutions just churning out new exploiters that take the place of the old ones.
It's well known that certain frequencies in the 75m band are "watering holes" for conspiracy theorists and racists.

Precisely for the reasons he gave though. It wasn't a unified experience. RT had lackluster support, no compatibility and a stripped down experience.

They're trying to fix it with Windows on ARM now, but that's what people were asking for back then.
No, the difference is that Elastic is a massive $15 billion company which needs more revenue to survive, while Redis is still largely run by one person.
CentOS and WhiteBox Linux were 3rd party sources of RHEL and to a large part Linux distros are interchangeable which makes them commodities. Not perfect commodities, but still close. RHEL with subscription vs Debian & burdening yours ops guys are choices available. VMS has no such choice.
I think they're saying if you use the radio to commit your crime they can and will pile on additional federal charges.

I'm sure they saw the paramilitary LARPers at the Capitol carrying radios capable of the frequencies in question. I'm sure some of them are on video using the radios and are about to be charged.
I did not know that! Though, that answer raises its own questions...

If the two are entirely unlinked, what's stopping Intel from slapping "Now 3nm!" on their next gen processors? Surely some components must be at the advertised size, even if it's no longer a clear cut all-or-nothing descriptor, right? What's actually being sized down and why is it seemingly posing so many challenges for Intel's supply chain?
> I care that more companies are encouraged to release their software as OSS because they can make money for it.

But they can't! Tell me how many companies make profit off purely OSS... RedHat maybe? What else?

And even if they can, they shouldn't be surprised when competitors use their OSS for their own benefit because OSS explicitly allows for that. Making money off OSS is a red herring, just because it works in a couple isolated cases, doesn't mean it's a viable business strategy.

You seem to think that, because he's not a physicist, that he has no idea what he's talking about.

Yes, appeals to authority aren't much use in the present climate. So, that's why he needs to offer convincing evidence. It sounds like he offers none (I haven't read it, just relying on the summary above). "Pulsing" is not exactly a new idea in radio technology, is it? There's only like a century or more of radio systems that do that. As for modulation, does he know what the M in FM radio stands for? The claim that these are new innovations that "biological scientists can't keep up" is just obviously false on its face so what is he talking about?

If you plot rates of cancer on a chart you'll find it's actually stable or declining for decades:

https://progressreport.cancer.gov/sites/default/files/graphs...

Even as ever newer mobile protocols were rolled out (and really they're more like protocol upgrades than changes to the basic physics), cancer rates were stable for women and declining for men. If mobile tech caused cancers then we'd see it in the statistics by now, there's been plenty of time. We don't.

BTW this guy is an epidemiologist, and I've been ranting for the past 8 months on HN that these guys definitely have no idea what they're talking about. The standards in this field are just ludicrously low, so I'm not surprised at all to discover one of them thinks 5G causes cancer :(
The official FCC announcement also includes FRS and GMRS which were almost certainly used in the attack on the Capitol.
The article does a lot of cherry-picking papers, adding in some unspoken assumption and then jumping to conclusions.

The biggest one is that it constantly confuses nationality with social affiliations.

I would recommend dropping the Red Bull. Switch to coffee, if you like that. Even an iced can coffee would be healthier.

I used to drink it daily and it destroyed my body. Also, Red Bull is quite expensive!
I feel this burnout. Finishing up college remotely and starting full-time work without meeting anyone in person has been an odd experience--not to mention political news, social injustice, and climate change looming over all our heads or affecting our lives directly.

Here are a few things that have helped me:

1) I try to remember that I don't have control over (most) external events, but I do control how I react to them.

2) Having a daily routine is good, but change up that daily routine--introduce some randomness--so the days don't feel like they're flying by.

3) Find something to commit to, like a mindfulness practice or workout routine. Walking or running daily can be a great way to bookend your work day and decompress. I know some folks who use walks as a "virtual commute" at the beginning and end of the work day.
I commented [1] on something similar a few days ago,

>Cloud (Intel) isn’t really challenged yet....

AWS are estimated to be ~50% of HyperScalers.

HyperScalers are estimated to be 50% of Server and Cloud Business.

HyperScalers are expanding at a rate faster than other market.

HyperScaler expanding trend are not projected to be slowing down
anytime soon.

AWS intends to have all of their own workload and SaaS product running on Graviton / ARM. ( While still providing x86 services to those who needs it )

Google and Microsoft are already gearing up their own ARM offering. Partly confirmed by Marvell's exit of ARM Server.

>The problem is single core Arm performance outside of Apple chips isn’t there.

Cloud computing charges per vCPU. On all current x86 instances, that is one hyper-thread. On AWS Graviton, vCPU = Actual CPU Core. There are plenty of workloads, and large customers like Twitter and Pinterest has tested and shown AWS Graviton 2 vCPU perform better than x86. All while being 30% cheaper. At the end of the day, it is workload / dollars that matters on Cloud computing. And right now in lots of applications Graviton 2 are winning, and in some cases by large margin.

If AWS sell 50% of their services with ARM in 5 years time, that is 25% of Cloud Business Alone. Since it offer a huge competitive advantage Google and Microsoft has no other choice but to join the race. And then there will be enough of a market force for Qualcomm, or may be Marvell to Fab a commodity ARM Server part for the rest of the market.

Which is why I was extremely worried about Intel. (Half of) The lucrative Server market is basically gone. ( And I haven't factored in AMD yet ) 5 years in Tech hardware is basically 1-2 cycles. And there is nothing on Intel's roadmap that shown they have the chance to compete apart from marketing and sales tactics. Which still goes a long way if I have to be honest, but not sustainable in long term. It is more of a delaying tactics. Along with a CEO that despite trying very hard, had no experience in market and product business. Luckily that is about to change.

Evaluating ARM switch takes time, Software preparation takes time, and more importantly, getting wafer from TSMC takes time as demand from all market are exceeding expectations. But all of them are already in motion, and if these are the kind of response you get from Graviton 2, imagine Graviton 3.

> appear to preclude cell migration into the sampled sediment

appear to preclude = we don't know how it could

100 million years is a long, long time for bacteria to find a route past a barrier and migrate sideways through a more hospitable substrate.

They found oxygen and decided that meant there was no oxidation (eating) going on. I wonder if they have any specialists on the team who would know specifically about permeability (the quoted person is a 'microbial ecologist', which sounds like it would know quite a few things about organic and inorganic chemistry, I don't expect they'd be an expert on geologic timescales. The way an architect in theory knows about physics of building materials but still gets into scraps with the general contractor.

You play it on a table with miniatures or markers, or even on a big sheet of graph paper. You can even play it on a whiteboard. The rulebook gives various stats for your assets (ships, planes, missiles and weapon systems), and you roll dice for things like sensor detection (radar, sonar, etc), scoring hits and damage to the target. There might be modifiers to various dice roles for weather, countermeasures, equipment and troop quality, etc.

I played an early version a few times in the 80s, and read The Hunt for Red October the year it came out. Funnily enough I watched the movie last week, it really holds up.
That's kinda my point. Why do they feel entitled to any more representation, i.e. "in the general zeitgeist", than what they have?
It's not the work-from-home that's been the problem for me (I've been remote since 2012) but having a third-grade kid home during work hours plus all the election craziness. Kids that age need lots of attention and interaction. At least this one does--I was fine sitting by myself reading a book for hours at that age. It's really hard to maintain focus with that entropic agent running around.

That said, I'm in a fairly high-risk group so lack of focus is a whole lot better than death. As bad as lockdown is for my kid it's better than losing one or both parents to COVID.
I know there's a project started a few years ago, building something like this for bash called Relational pipes[1].

It's perennially in my "to check out" list and I haven't actually played around with it, mainly because I'm lazy and it's not in AUR.

So can't comment how ready it is to use to today. But it looks interesting.

Exactly right. Nothing would have happened to Parler if its userbase wasn't substantially affiliated with a mob that literally attacked the democratic process because they didn't like the result.

I'm sure someone's thinking that the correct response to that is have the government police forces battle with the mob until it changes its mind of its own accord, rather than have (non-government) society take action against the root causes of the mob, like Parler. However, that's undesirable for reasons that should be obvious.

The fact a centralized system profits from engagement isn’t inherent to the fact it’s centralized, decentralized platforms are likely to do the same.
As for your second point that their mistakes happen at scale, that is true. But also the things they do right happen at scale as well. All of the automated moderating and disinformation detection that has been in the works happens at scale too. It would be much harder to do similar in a decentralized system because of the partitioning of user data.

The sequitur between "social media platforms" and "commit or facilitate crimes" is quite interesting.
Interesting law. I'm not sure about driving laws, but I would assume if you robbed a bank and drove away, there's no extra clause that says this usage your driving license is illegal?
The practical implication is “after we catch you, if we find that a radio as used, we will add that to the list of charges, perhaps making you more compliant come plea bargain time.”
My understanding is that you're allowed to have encrypted communications, but only if the key is public.

Whether or not that counts as encryption, I don't know.
The neat thing is: there is no training set! The CLIP model[1] takes arbitrary text prompts. So for these we're just sending eg "An illustration of an upside down dinosaur" and it returns a similarity value between the image's encoding and the text's encoding.

To filter out things we don't want (eg text and nudity) we penalize the score based on the similarity for eg "A nsfw illustration".

An instructor is not a professor. When I was in junior high, high school, and at college, I taught a lecture or two regularly. I was no teacher or professor, but I was a lecturer / instructor, while I was going to school. It says nothing.

>THE COURT CASE IS LINKED IN TFA

If you look at the court case the only thing in it that is not hearsay is a dented bumper. Furthermore, she was dismissed. Because of a lack of evidence it never would have held a candle in court because it was all hearsay.

This is the problem with articles like this. They defame people, and the average person who has no legal background eats it up as the wholesale truth.

>I'm not sure why you're so insistent on defending if not a sexual predator then at least someone with highly questionable judgement.

Woo.. there is nothing in there that says she is a sexual predator.

>And again, maybe all of this has little to do with the whistleblower stuff, but there is no question about whether or not it's true that she had an inappropriate extramartial affair with a student, stalked him after he tried to end it and was fired over the whole ordeal.

It has nothing to do with the whistleblower stuff. It has to do with how garbage the article is. Falling for it is embarrassing. The fact that articles like these today are legal, is a sad state of affairs. In the US up until the 80s, articles like these would be against the law for hopefully obvious reason.
It's how the CBC is structured. They receive funding from taxes and their own revenue streams: merchandizing, advertising, syndication, and so on.

It works. That is, it works until it doesn't.

The CBC is entirely "free" to every Canadian who wants to use it, and it is fantastic. I wish it were expanded in scope.

But there is an opposition that wants it dismantled and moved from government funding at all costs. Usually, the opposition is purely along political lines which is disappointing.

So, I suppose the argument against it being tax-funded is that it become yet another chip in the political game. An argument for tax-funded is that there are no additional fees awaiting those who cannot afford them.

Seems like something of a tossup or...yet to be determined.

The added separation from political influence is big points, but it's rather moot when one group who've already made their mind up will just shout "conspiracy" and then the facts don't matter anyway. That happens here in Canada, to be sure.
Open source software development isn’t regarded as a social good (legally in the US), it has to be fulfilling some broader charitable purpose.

But such a system would completely change the dynamics of open source, likely in undesirable ways. Keep the money out, I say.

Nice reading and books images)). Love it
I've personally seen a couple photographs of insurrectionists with what looked like Baofeng (ironic?) style radios with police-style handsets that groups were using to coordinate at some level.
Baofeng's, Baofengs everywhere.

Of all the images I have seen of the attempted coup, I have only seen baofeng radios. These are very cheap ($20'ish) radios that work very poorly (they splatter all over the bands) even when equipped with decent antennas. They barely work when equipped with the stock rubber-duck antennas.

It's easy to be a snob about the type of radios that they are using, but that's not even the point.

These people are idiots. Bringing their cellphones, recording video of themselves committing felonies and then posting them online. There is already plenty of rules regarding what can/can not be said using amateur radios. There is however no requirement to provide identification before you purchase an amateur radio.

Anybody can buy them, and it's based on the honour system to use them according to the law. It's already against the law to use them in a manner that is against the law.

Id' like to see this used as a punitive measure against everybody who was using them during the coup. Maximum FCC fine for all of them.
When I became a ham back in the sixties the amateur bands were policed by the FCC themselves. They even had rolling vans with directional antennas. You even had to go to the local FCC office to sit for the license test of all but the novice license. I still can remember the sound Morse code made in the room with glass on all four sides. They looked in at you and for a kid it was like being in a fish bowl.

But in a cost cutting move they handed over most of the monitoring of the ham bands over to volunteers organized by the ARRL. Testing was also turned over to volunteers and you no longer had to go to the local FCC offices.

As a result the FCC personnel lost contact with hams. This in my mind is the only reason that this letter could have been sent. If they have proof that these communications are taking place they should say so. Hams do a lot of volunteer work in their communities and it's like the federal government all of a sudden feels they are untrustworthy. This did not sit well at all with the hams I know in our local community.
I studied these a bit during my PhD. The focus of my research was gravitational wave (GW) astronomy which involves incredibly sensitive instrumentation. The history of GWs before 2015 contained notoriously dubious detection claims and we were concerned with ruling out any possible factor that could influence our measurements. The way statistical significance is calculated in the field, any effects that could influence multiple geographically-spaced GW detectors within the speed-of-light travel time are especially pernicious. That these exotic EM phenomena could potentially mimic the time-frequency signature of a binary black hole was especially troubling. I built a monitoring system to record ambient RF signals and compared it to the GW signals. Wideband RF monitoring is actually a pretty difficult problem, and in the back of my mind I was always scared I missed something, until the neutron star signal GW170817 put all doubts to rest.
