One thing I think ignored in the article is the rise of FOSS federated servers. There are a few prominent examples to those who follow these sorts of developments, but there are two in particular that I find interesting: Lemmy and Littr.me.

Lemmy is basically a clone of reddit's functionality that federates over ActivityPub. It is a very high quality piece of software. A single server can host multiple communities and users, just like reddit. You can follow and comment on posts and communities on external servers using your account on whichever server you call home.

Littr.me is more like hackernews, a single community server, but one that will federate with other servers using the ActivityPub protocol, like Lemmy. The development is slower, but it is still interesting and the maintainer seems to be committed to building it out. Something like this allows what the author of this article talks about, single community sites for different niche communities, but also allows for intercommunity interaction.

With either of these, a user can tailor their feed to subscribe to any number of communities on any number of servers, and lurk, or interact if they like. With tools like this, the compromise of eliminating friction by centralizing communities is no longer necessary. I personally believe federating protocols rather than central servers are the future of online social interaction, and I am very excited about it.

One thing I think needs to exist is a message board/forum server that federates. The link aggregator UX paradigm is not optimal for all online communities. Forums are very useful and as of right now I know of no effort to implement federation in an existing FOSS forum server or build one with federation in mind.
Still fine, but it has triggered some unpleasant introspection.

Thank you! I remember in the 90s, if I thought of a website or invention, I figured I had about 2-3 years to make it (certainly less than 5) before someone else did. That number dropped to maybe 6 months by 2010, and today most things are either about to be released or were released 2 weeks ago (minimum). So I'm not sure if I manifested what you made by needing it months ago, is what I'm saying.

Anyway, the value proposition of LayerCI may not exactly be in the CI/CD stuff. What caught my eye was the 12 staging servers with high power CPUs and the layer caching like Docker (which takes multi-minute build times down to seconds). I think if you manage to include backups and monitoring from the start, you'll really have something. And if you've already done them, good job manifesting that.
Meh, The Information is a massively overrated and overpriced news source that often misses out on basic industry news and has embarrassingly juvenile coverage of org charts, and acts more like a thinly veiled mouthpiece for its founder and her husband to appear like they have newsworthy opinions when in reality no serious journalist would publish what they write. I’d trust BI 1000-fold for a story like this.
They may be “excited”, but this really doesn't make it less problematic. They must follow the labor laws too.
> presumably the children's parents love the child but still choose to have them work

Please, stop. Don't you realize you are making it worse? Still, it is funny to see you defend child labor as a cultural value, just to save Apple's face. Not sure Apple would appreciate your efforts, though.
Some of us care.
I'm pretty skeptical of the value of this gimmick, but my impression is that dealers get big kickbacks to push it. When I bought my car, I tried to opt-out of Phantom Footprints (as I did with every single overpriced extra), and they ended up giving it to me for free.

It already is a selling point used by many companies, primarily those targeting marijuana cultivators. "Photosynthesis Plus[1]" is a one such product. I have used it to grow both tomatoes and pot. It does not replace the need to use fertilizer (or compost, etc.) so at least for the home grower, there is no cost savings. At scale it could allow you to use less expensive types of fertilizer or something, I am not sure.

Theoretically it helps to break down organic matter into forms more readily bio-avialible to plants. In my experience I'm not sure I've noticed much difference, although I did see some mushrooms popping out of the side of one of my fabric pots once.

Products like this should be looked at with the same skepticism as "Audiophile grade capacitors" and such. If you want to smell the absolute worst stench -- like a transcendentally rotten smell -- I'd definitely recommend paying $20 for a bottle of germs at your local hydroponics shop.

Marketing BS aside, myorrhizal associations[2] are pretty fascinating, and relatively understudied.I enjoy the analogy sometimes used of it being "the internet for plants[3]."

> as a result the rhythm becomes monotonous.

Surprises me, as Fitzgerald has about the least monotonous prose of any author I've read. It's about as varied as Vonnegut, to me.

I don't really know what it means to read visually, but I read about of a quarter of Tender is the Night out loud to myself, which would be 'audio reading', if anything.
We are talking about the little group of seditionists, trying so desperately hard to convince people that a larger group agrees with their goals or their tactics.

70 million people cast a vote based on political affiliations. And their side lost, and they accepted that. The commonality with the seditionists ends there.

I feel like a simple automatic capture of timestamp + url + screenshot would already be very useful. This gives you a visual memory of the things you've seen on the web. I've wanted to develop this for a while, as a browser plugin.

Being able to skim the past month or two click around the thumbnails would already be amazing. I've wanted to do that many times before to check if my memory was correct, or if a page changed since I last saw it, or figure out when I last saw something online.

You don't need a special viewer for it, as your operating system's file explorer can view the screenshots already, and you don't need to set up a crawl. Screenshots also compress well, as webp or png after crunching it.

> The elites of those countries benefit way more from the influx of euros, some breadcrumbs are given to the people and then everyone stays under the illusion they are better off. The central bank keeps pushing money, Brussels and Berlin get happy about it until some external crisis show that the periphery countries never actually changed their ways and now are even more fragile to external shocks and even more dependent on the EU.

Are you saying these countries would be better off outside of the EU? Like, say, Turkey?
Not sure I get your point.

> Sorry for the stereotyping, but this is such a German comment and so short-sighted that if I get into a long response to it my blood will boil a little. Instead, let me refer you to https://nntaleb.medium.com/lebanon-from-ponzi-to-antifragili... who maybe can get the point across better than me.

Not sure if I am going to read a whole article about Lebanon from Taleb, but I take you'd prefer a Grexit early on instead of the drudgery that is occurring now?

You know, at the time this was often discussed. The honest truth is that no one really knows, but everyone is convinced they are right.

It's really where two understandings of reality met.

On the one hand, you had people who believe (like you I'd take it) that economic systems can use reform and a collapsing exchange rate / exports to improve their lot with separation from the Euro.

On the other hand, you had people saying that this would, at best, eliminate decades of economic growth, and at worst, lead to explicable suffering and a mass exodus. All the while cementing the country in a low-income periphery position by virtue of being dominated by the EU central bank actions.

People who actually remember the pre Euro times will remember this situation from countries dependent on the Deutsche Mark, and will also remember that the Euro was - for that reason - France's condition to allow German reunification.

I guess I never resolved in which camp I fall.
On the one hand, no non-EU peripheral country really fills me with confidence that this is a good position. On the other hand, perhaps Brexit will eventually show that such a niche can be found.
The argument that it's vague indeed makes sense, but I can't make heads or tails of the one that claims it's not an open source license at the end of the day. If anything, it's more open source than the AGPL.
The only difference between conspiring and conscious parallelism is saying that you're doing it out loud.

Let's use the classic example -- raising prices.

Suppose you have a market with two companies. If they get together in a room and conspire to fix prices, that's illegal.

So here's what they do instead. First, one of them raises prices. They know that isn't going to end well for them unless the other one does it, because otherwise they'll lose business to the other one which now has a lower price. If the other one doesn't promptly respond by raising prices too, they'll have to lower them again. So that action is really an invitation to coordinate in raising prices.

Because they both know that. It's obvious that the one can't profitably raise prices unless the other one does. So now the other company has a choice. Option one, leave prices where they are, causing their competitor to have to lower them again before their own company actually gains any significant market share as a result of the lower prices. Option two, raise prices to match, and now they both make more money.

Option two is better for both companies. They both make more money and the only risk is that the higher margins attract a third competitor who comes in to undercut them. If that isn't likely or can be made unlikely through some exclusionary mechanism then they both get to raise prices to the monopoly price.

It's exactly the same thing as the price fixing conspiracy except that they never said it out loud. It's a loophole.

And it's also the difference here:

> isn’t collusion anymore than when someone joins Parler/Gab because it’s the “hip new thing”.

The users are too diffuse for the coordination mechanism to operate, and without it they don't have market power. At the point when each site has a proportionate share of the users, no individual user has any reason to use a given site other than because they like it better, and their individual choice doesn't affect the collective outcome enough to justify making it strategically.

Basically, it only applies to concentrated markets.
Aren't we lucky the industry "solved" the problem of consumer ownership rights by removing them completely. I'm glad "developers" (i.e. large corporate entities that are mostly profiting from these sales) are benefiting from this arrangement rather than the majority of the gaming community (consumers).
No, I don't think so. The underlying problem was the Shuttle was a One Big Bite attempt at developing a very complex technology. That doesn't work. Development of something like that has to be iterative. Shuffling the deck chairs with different propellants wouldn't have made any difference.
I cheaped out on the alarm in a car I leased in late 2015 and not two years went by until it got stolen - using the most primitive of methods at that.

Fortunately the insurance money was enough for a down payment on the same model, but highest trim possible - this time including an alarm and GAP.

I've been parking it in the same places and so far it's still with me.

I think that while an alarm won't stop a thief, these people do tend to look for easy targets.
> The geopolitical ramifications of completely centralizing the only leading process node in such a sensitive area between the world's super powers cannot be understated.

This is a fair point but I think it will be less of a concern once TSMC's 5nm fab in Arizona comes online[1]. Samsung is also in the process of building a 5nm fab in Korea[2]. Geopolitically, Korea may still be a minor concern, but much less so than a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

> why did the guncrazy far right militants leave their guns at home?

Because despite their public rhetoric and willingness to carry guns when they don’t expect law enforcement opposition, they realized that their only chance of success at the Capitol was to not be treated by law enforcement the way that law enforcement (including the Secret Service) would treat a visibly-armed mob surrounding the Capitol during proceedings (which include Secret Service protectees).

I've shared some of your thoughts in the past and still today. Indeed, there can be situations where generating a source of income (e.g. for sustenance) in the short-medium term is more valuable than generating knowledge that pays off in the medium-long term. I think the assessment should always be focused on whether it is a net benefit to the child.

Yet I do believe these where child labour is a net benefit are increasingly rare and in some countries simply not present anymore at scale, leaving no justification child labour. The situation in 2021 is in that sense very different from say 1940s Korea.

For one, primary and secondary education has been seen to be an enormous net-positive to society and has very large returns on dollars spent, which would apply to the opportunity cost (not being able to work) as well. As such, while I agree that child labour can be useful as a source of income (which is a primary source of wellbeing) in isolation, it's not necessarily a net gain (particularly in the long-run) for the child or for society if child labour takes the place of education, which it often does.

Even many poor countries today have high levels of universal primary and largely secondary school education available, and while issues like poverty and hunger obviously are very real, the directly life-threatening issues like famine at scale (e.g. in a country like India or China) are quite rare nowadays. As such, I think it makes more sense in a country like India or China (the country in question where the supplier was located) that children primarily go to school and enjoy being kids, despite poverty.

Note that child labour is not 'labour by a child'. e.g. in a country like the Netherlands, kids aged 13 are allowed to work. But it cannot be their primary occupancy, then it would be defined as child labour. That'd imply that work takes priority over school and children being children, and that's not necessary (e.g. for sustenance) or acceptable in most countries (such as India or China).

I see only a few exceptions, e.g. kids doing farmwork in rural Mali to provide much needed income for sustenance in an environment where school isn't available or affordable, may make sense. That's not to say child labour shouldn't be eradicated in Mali, but rather that banning child labour is perhaps a solution that should come only after problems of sustenance are resolved, and may not be a useful policy measure today. Of course it goes without saying many other forms of child labour (war recruits, sex, dangerous labour, hard labour) etc make no sense under any circumstance. Also situations in which there is child labour without pay (quite common too), it is clearly exploiting of a child without any net benefit to the child).
I think it's acceptable to accidentally pick a bad supplier but when they learned of this three years ago they should've immediately cut ties. Oh, it's super expensive to change suppliers but own the mistake and pay the short term costs of being forced to rework supply lines while recognizing that inefficiency as the cost of skimping on your research on the supplier.

I would be absolutely unsurprised if someone instrumental in setting up this partnership still got a bonus after this was discovered due to the low cost of producing the part.
Neither is a good look. But the result will be the same. More heavy handed undermining of privacy, rights, etc.
I see. THanks for highlighting that. Makes sense unfortunately
GP said they would know that theft from parked cars is the number one problem in most neighborhoods

GP isn't saying that's the only crime problem in the world, or the worst. GP is saying that this is the number one problem in neighborhoods. Based on what I'm seeing in my neighborhood (SV), this is 100% true.

People are also stealing packages, but the monetary loss in those cases is much less than the cost of replacing or repairing vehicles that have been stolen or broken into.
>We have seen that this trademark issue drives confusion with users thinking Amazon Elasticsearch Service is actually a service provided jointly with Elastic, with our blessing and collaboration. This is just not true. NOT OK.

I do not understand why they're not suing Amazon for a trademark violation. Imagine if they called themselves Elastic Amazon Search... Amazon would send them a cease and desist within a week.

Also, if you don't protect your trademarks, you will lose them! They're playing with fire here by not taking action. [1]

Anyway, send them a cease & desist for misusing your trademarks, Elastic!

They took far right terrorism seriously in the 1870s. They more or less stamped out the (original) KKK while simultaneously giving the south the requisite autonomy to enact Jim Crow. Obviously Jim Crow doesn't square with our modern view but at the time the lack of some systemic way to keep the black people down was a serious grievance that a lot of people had. The government cracked down on the extremists who were starting to get off the porch while simultaneously extending an olive branch to the people who sympathized with them (and throwing black people under the bus in the process).

The same thing happened in the civil rights era. When it looked like things might get serious the .gov caved to the MLK types to prevent the Malcom X types from gaining further sympathy from the masses.

Fast forward to the 1990s and you get the ATF trilogy. Of course the magnitude of the problem was smaller than the KKK so the reaction and adjustments were smaller. On one hand the FBI cracked down on all the extremist groups (cue jokes about how the modern KKK is just a recreation club for FBI agents) but at the same time you'll notice that when the Bundy Ranch rolled around the feds didn't just shoot everyone and botch the thing as they would had they let historical precedent be their guide. Same pattern. Crackdown on the extremists while avoiding pissing off the moderate sympathizers.

Likewise hundreds of cities are reconsidering how they allocate law enforcement and social services resources after the events of this summer while also (recently, like past month) starting to crack down on protests to prevent them from getting fiery. Same pattern.

The overarching theme is pretty clear. The government never takes people's grievances seriously until there's a "real" threat of extremists getting off the porch and causing serious problems with a large body of sympathizers to back them up.

In light of that it'll be interesting to see what if any long term changes come out of the whole capitol thing.
To entice people to his organization. He brings people to the palace, shows them the life of a king for a few days, and sends them home feeling warm and fuzzy about joining. No doubt the bedrooms have cameras in them to capture the blackmail-worthy acts that hold the whole cartel together.
One purpose is to enable you to concentrate on work, but I am don't think that's the biggest win. The core idea here is to use physical space mapped to mental space so you can move between activities easily. It can be a specific corner of a room too. Like - "when I sit here I'm ideating, when I go there I'm designing, when I sit at that desk I'm coding" sort of split. You don't need to be fine grained, but it is similar to "when I sit at the dining table, I eat". Quite possible to design this even in small spaces.
Can Computers Learn to Lie?
Computers are seen normally as perfect machines that follow fixed rules to get the best ''secure'' return, but what happens if it is impossible to get a perfect strategy with the information they have? Will machines learn to lie to compensate the lack of information?

I trained two different AI's as observers with a Q-learning algorithm and a neural network to play a simple "min-max" game, in this game there is the possibility to lie but it has a risk factor associated.

This two different AIs got different results making the Q-learning algorithm lie about 30% of the time and the neural network lying less than 3% of the matches.
