> Child was left alone once(!!), peed and pooped itself. There was no evidence of harm caused to her at that moment.

"On the wall beside the bed was a large area of damp in the wall and the wallpaper was coming away. There was a very strong and overpowering smell of urine and faeces in the room. I saw the child curled in an almost foetal position on the bed lying on a pillow. She sat up when we came into the room and she was holding an empty pink bottle. I went towards the child. She stood up and came towards me. I saw that her clothes were wet and that she was wearing a nappy that had fallen off between her legs. Once in a different room I could see the child's clothes were wet and she was shivering. The strong smell was coming from her and it was clear that she had not been changed or cleaned all day. I removed the child's nappy to find dried and fresh faeces. The nappy was so swollen with urine that the child was unable to walk properly. There was also dried faeces on the child's body and her skin was soaked in urine that had leaked from her nappy and gone through her clothes."

That's a bit more than having just soiled oneself. That's many, many hours of neglect.

> she was seen walking drunk on a street barefoot

Pushing the baby down the middle of the street at 1AM while severely intoxicated.

> There are 2 more facts,

No... then the child was removed a whole year and a half later after attempts at parenting classes, etc, but where the mom continued to have police contact and the child showed developmental delays that were strongly suspected to be from neglect.
And saying something against the king may end up to jail for 14 years. Ridiculous. And even companies like facebook are helping them to identify the person who spoke against them.
I reckon it's more about what power is taken away than into how many tyrants that power is concentrated. If you have more tyrants then technically the power is less concentrated but it's mostly the tyrants that have any additional power.

It would get interesting if you could come up with an example where taking power away from the people resulted in more freedom but that sounds like a contradiction.
> I think there are valid differences in opinion in what “open source” means

Disagree. It's a well standardised term of art: it means what the OSI define it to mean. It's pretty precise, and is not a meaningless marketing term like premium. Similarly free software (and especially Free Software) means what the FSF defines it to mean.

When people start using these terms to mean whatever they feel like it should mean, it muddies the waters for those of us trying to have serious discussions about these topics. Tellingly, such redefinitions are generally broader than the accepted OSI definition, so as to include whatever product someone is trying to push.
I wasn't trying to refute your comment, nor to imply that you said x86 is on its way out the door, but we are talking about the future of x86 after all.

Intel has already driven its prices downward aggressively [0]. That seems to be part of their strategy to contain AMD while they get their own business firing on all cylinders again, and it's going to be true regardless of whether the majority of the market demands x86 or not. The more that Intel can pressure AMD's gross margin, the more relevant Intel's synergies from being an IDM can become.

And Mongo is something similar as well. Just running single instance (on infrastructure that you pay for) might cost about 3k or more per month.
> This has had the unpleasant side effect of making reading fiction less pleasurable. ah well

If it helps, I think this side-effect is likely to fade for good fiction. Bad-but-tolerable fiction gets ruined forever when you get better at spotting what they do and what it gets wrong...

I haven't read the book you mention, but when I've read similar type of books before it's definitively been annoying for a while, but then it goes to the background and it seems to usually just pop into my mind when I either spot particularly good or bad examples. When I notice particularly good uses of techniques now, it tends to make me appreciate the work more, if anything.
Most of what societies give to us are a set of rules to manage scarcity in exchange for the benefits of group membership.

We've got more than enough resources to ensure a good and happy baseline existence for a large number of people but we don't have the systems to distribute it fairly or effectively.

Identity is something we fall back on when times are "bad" and we feel like there isn't enough to go around. It's far less important when times are "good" (but humans are hard-wired to survive scarcity rather than abundance).

Turchin’s elite overproduction is another, separate issue.
I would never want to record in-software on the same computer Zoom was running. I would be way too paranoid about who knows what software or introspection the Zoom app is running to identify this sort of stuff.

I would, hypothetically, record using my phone, being sure to make it not visible from the camera.
> However, approximately 52.5 million non-public profile fields were exposed to alternative apps that requested access to individuals Google+ ID, and created access to other profiles that had shared information with each other.

It's not on the same level as CA but should remind you that even a corporation like Google can have such data breaches, regardless of whether they were gaps or poor design. The investigations were initiated only after the CA scandal. Would the gap have been discovered in time without CA? Who knows. Even if it is assumed that this gap was not exploited, 52 million affected users is not a small number.
I'll be honest, I've never heard a single business say the reason they use open source is because support is commodified. It's generally cost or functionality, and quite frankly they want a go-to support expert, not a list of support options.

Redhat didn't become huge because people had all sorts of options for third party support. In fact, I can't say I've ever come across a single enterprise who: uses third party support for their RHEL installed base, has asked for third party support for their RHEL installed base.

given a well designed chip which achieves competitive performance across most benchmarks, Most code will run sufficiently well for most use cases regardless of the nuance of specific cache design and sizes.

There is certainly an exception to this for chips with radically different designs and layouts, as well as folks writing very low-level performance sensitive code which can benefit from specific platform optimization ( graphics comes to mind ).

However even in the latter case, I'd imagine the platform specific and fallback platform agnostic code will be within 10-50% performance of each other. Meaning a particularly well designed chip could make the platform agnostic code cheaper on either a raw performance basis or cost/performance basis.

Yeah it seems like you could generate quite a nice reading list. The first thing I did was search a few of the books on my shelf and see what was similar. Its a really nice way to explore books.

Apologies as I don't understand the technicalities behind this but I feel this system would apply well to a Spotify / YouTube browser. It would help you explore without their algorithms putting you in a filter bubble.

That's just how taste works. I read Gatsby multiple times and found it a classic example of something that's popular but not universal. It was overall just bland and forgettable, because I just don't care for that kind of literature or story.
From the description:

Heritable human genome editing - making changes to the genetic material of eggs, sperm, or any cells that lead to their development, including the cells of early embryos, and establishing a pregnancy - raises not only scientific and medical considerations but also a host of ethical, moral, and societal issues. Human embryos whose genomes have been edited should not be used to create a pregnancy until it is established that precise genomic changes can be made reliably and without introducing undesired changes - criteria that have not yet been met, says Heritable Human Genome Editing.

From an international commission of the U.S. National Academy of Medicine, U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the U.K.'s Royal Society, the report considers potential benefits, harms, and uncertainties associated with genome editing technologies and defines a translational pathway from rigorous preclinical research to initial clinical uses, should a country decide to permit such uses. The report specifies stringent preclinical and clinical requirements for establishing safety and efficacy, and for undertaking long-term monitoring of outcomes. Extensive national and international dialogue is needed before any country decides whether to permit clinical use of this technology, according to the report, which identifies essential elements of national and international scientific governance and oversight.

The point I am getting at is that if an editor wants to use markdown in place of rtf, fine. But it should hide the syntax just like rtf editors do (unless you want to see it). No editor that supports markdown to date has been able to achieve the quality of editing that rtf editors already have. So in essence outside of markdowns original use case of web publishing, why bother using it?

Looks very interesting guys, thank you a lot to release that.

I was working on something similar currently.

Any data pipeline complex enough finish soon or later multi-lingual (Python, R, C++ + MPI) and multi-runtime (JVM, native, python) and it becomes quickly impossible to execute everything in one single process space without problems.

You are right in your design, shared memory node-to-node data distribution is the answer to that to avoid the classical / inefficient data dump-load-dump pattern that we find usually in most heterogeneous pipeline.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy starts out with "Don't Worry". By the end of the sixth book in the trilogy find it was right to worry all along.
Thank you. Yeah you hit the nail on its head: it's the environmental conditions that matter. Still it's impressive that a single whole genome has remained largely intact for 100M years or else the cell would not be able to replicate. However for the sequencing of ancient genomes no single genome has to be intact as fragments of many cells can be computationally pieced together into a complete template genome.
I’m confused too. IANAL but this seems like it’s a clear use of trademark.

Amazon sells Hershey bars through its site. I don’t think it needs to get permission to say “here’s the subscribe and save service to buy Hershey bars.”

I think the confusion is whether ElasticCo is endorsing or part of the service offering. So it should be clear that the offering isn’t by ElasticCo.

Back to the chocolate example, as long as Amazon doesn’t make it seem like Hershey is endorsing their site or offering the product they should be clear. I’ve seen this tucked into the fine print on stuff where it says that just because they are selling Hershey it has nothing to do with Hershey the company.

It seems odd that the company wouldn’t want it to be called AWS ElasticSearch as that’s what it is. ElasticSearch software sold as a service by AWS. Calling it something else is more confusing.
Here's a million dollar idea for LEGO Group (or any third party): make and sell a LEGO sorting machine. It should be portable enough, and flexible enough for wide ranging of application. I think it can sell loads of them.

> has someone actually just been tortured to death

I can't rule out the possibility that there are some qualia associated specifically with the neuronal activity corresponding to your mental simulation, but I can say that the leap to the "someone actually being tortured" interpretation isn't warranted. It's clearly not a "someone" in the sense of a human person, and so all bets are off when it comes to interpreting what it's like to be that thing.

> Crazy implications if true!

Well, the implications are most likely delayed until someone invents a qualia detector.

> There are no better alternatives.

That's a strong claim - evidence?

> And about the ElasticSearch, they should have just used a different license.

Hindsight and all that. Not saying I fully agree with Elastic's approach, especially the license uncertainly it creates as noted elsewhere in the thread. But Amazon seems to have gone beyond "hey, this open source, nothing to stop us offering it" here. From The CTO's suggestion Elastic was a partner, to questionable trademark infringement, to potential copying of closed source code. If you read the article, it's notable that Elasticsearch continue to have working relationships with Azure and Google among others.

So there's more to this than just "should've used a different license".

At that point if it will be trouble for Intel it would be a death sentence for AMD...

Intel has fabs, yes it’s what maybe holding them back atm but it also a big factor in what maintains their value.

If x86 dies and neither Intel nor AMD pivot in time Intel can become a fab company they already offer these services, yes no where near the scale of say TSMC but they have a massive portfolio of fabs and their fabs are located in the west, they also have a massive IP portfolio related to everything form IC design to manufacturing.
Isp is an efficiency, but it is specifically efficiency with respect to fuel usage. As this has commonly been the main measure of non-electric propulsion it is still valid to invite the comparison as part of the goal is still reducing mass by reducing fuel usage.

It does seem the efficiency they are referring to is efficiency in ionization.

And I agree it is a bit odd that they bring up the claim of "superior efficiency" and quote the power usage of the thruster (50W) without any notes about the actual thrust capability that it provides.
But it does not eject any mass, so it's all dry mass once in orbit, I assume.

Hall effect is pretty weak, though.
But then for the same reason, it's also easier to strip out.
> shouldn't you be confident in your ability to differentiate from someone offering it as an afterthought?

They are. What they aren't confident in is their ability to differentiate from someone who offers it moderately competently, while not having to pay a single cent in development costs, unlike Elastic, which have to pay for almost all of them.
Doesn't this mean the caller may block if there are already the maximum number of inflight requests being run? I use the same type of pattern, but the core loop has a queue of input objects. The loop blocks waiting for input from either a caller or a go routine that completed. It enqueues the request from a caller, or lowers the inflight count from the complete signal. Then, it checks if we have capacity to run the request, and, if we do, dequeues the oldest request and submits it.

This means that the queue could grow unboundedly, but that is ok, as this type of structure is not meant for constant request handling but rather for bursts of requests that can happen asynchronously (and in parallel), and allows us to limit the maximum number that can run while also never blocking callers if there are no available go routines to process their request when submitted.

Here is a minimially-viable example of how I do it:

https://play.golang.org/p/mD_jpMdoY_g

Contents here:

package main

import (
"fmt"
"time"
"sync"
)

func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, playground")
wg := &sync.WaitGroup{}
wg.Add(1)
numRequests := 100

inCh := make(chan int)
go func() {
resCh := make(chan int)
queue := []int{}
inFlight := 0
max := 20
completed := 0

for {
select{
case m := <- inCh:
queue = append(queue, m)
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Enqueing: %d", m))
case <- resCh:
inFlight -= 1
completed += 1
}
if len(queue) > 0 && inFlight < max {
v := queue[0]
queue = queue[1:]
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Submitting: %d", v))
inFlight += 1
go func(_v int) {
time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("run: %d", _v))
resCh <- v
}(v)
}
if completed == numRequests {
wg.Done()
}
}
}()

for i := 0; i < numRequests; i++ {
inCh <- i
}

fmt.Println("Waiting for completion...")
wg.Wait()
fmt.Println("All processes completed. Exiting.")
}
What's the immoral end? That more people are taking advantage of the technology offered in Elasticsearch? To me that seems like a moral and intentional end.

Or is the problem that Elastic can't effectively monopolize that technology which they purposely offered to the world for free? Well, of course not... how can both of those be true at the same time? The choice to release a product as open source is to intentionally prevent it from being monopolized.
The problem of the known open source licenses (vs this no-precedent one) is that they were made long time ago for other situations and they do a poor job at protecting open source authors from the abuse that we see from Amazon and similar.

> It still makes a huge difference if money is distributed through the hands of the government, or dedicated 1:1.

Not really. You can make it mandatory government expense by law, so it is not controlled by the government and its change would require changing the law, which is similar to changing the TV fee (which is also limited by law).
Imagine the sign says “(and that includes businesses with giant dump trucks, please bring it on)”

Because that’s what the license they used said.

>The United Kingdom is somewhat unique in the world for requiring those households which view broadcast television to purchase a licence for the privilege.

If we ignore the distinction between a license and a tax, France still levies a TV tax. I believe other European countries do this as well. The van is the unusual part, not the license fee.
> The open source world needs to come together and create a license that is well crafted.

It has created several.

It hasn't created licenses well-crafted for purposes directly contrary to the purpose of having open source software, because that's not what the open source community is interested in.

> So far the FOSS world seems to be pretending this problem doesn’t exist.

From the point of view of the FOSS world, the issue here is not a problem; creators having an exclusive ability to monetize software as a service isn't a purpose open source is intended to serve; in fact, avoiding the lock-in that results from such exclusivity is a big part of the point.
