This is indeed an idea that has been coming up from time to time for over 25 years at least. I think the earliest publication in this space was Gockhale's Terasys (DOI 10.1109/2.375174).

It is a good idea in principle, but it's never really taken off to my knowledge. Parallel programming is hard. Deeply embedded programming is hard. The languages we have are mostly bad at both.

If you want to search for more, the keyword is "processor in memory" or "processing in memory" (PIM). Also "in memory computing" is commonly used as well. A number of groups are working on this right now. The new buss is "memristors" (memristive computing). Whether or not any of it actually ends up working or being commercially viable outside of a lab remains to be seen.
Rivian has an independent 4-motor setup. It's a compelling case of extra parts allowing for simplicity.

It also allows for the ever-entertaining tank turn:

>How you could conclude that p-hacking is rare based on a completely unrelated experience is beyond me.

I was involved in the submission of >100 papers through peer review processes, none of which involved p-hacking. In fact, they couldn't have been p-hacked because their novelty did not rely on any statistical analysis, or they were preregistered with the journal.

I did have a run-in with 1 publication that I suspected involved academic misconduct (fabrication of experimental results), but it was a thesis so it did not go through the peer review process.
Australia is part of the 5 eyes alliance which automatically shares data between the US/Canada/UK/New Zealand which means it is a safe bet that the US can get this data as easily as it would be on it's own soil.

As an American storing data in Australia creates another problem. The US can't spy in the US on it's own citizens but another country can at the request of the US government and will report everything back to the US.

I would pick Russia or China first...

Or just use protonmail which is designed to offer some protection.

Tesla Tequila is a spoof off of Tres Comas (was priced at $250, limit two, as an alleged nod to their imminent inclusion in the S&P500), and honestly it’s pretty good tequila for a marketing spoof.
Elastic forced the fork. AWS was contributing and complying with the license. Why should AWS not be allowed to make insane profits off open source?
Elasticsearch isn't two scrappy guys in a garage writing code out of the good of their hearts. It's a VC-backed $15B company which now needs to make money.

Open source is the last thing on either of the two gorillas' minds.
Ah no I missed your implication there. She didn't. It isn't unheard of though, some people stay with Ms as a default if they don't think their marital status is anyone's business. It's a less political version of Mz I guess, which is something one teacher I had used and made sure we knew about.
Lots of content, but missing any reference I can find to the big 3 things that get the US out of the mess faster:

(1) moving to First Dose First

(2) approving J&J and Astrazeneca vaccines now

(3) waiting to vaccinate previous covid cases last.

We could absolutely be done with COVID as a severe issue within 100 days with these three actions (and a lot of work), all possible to happen today.
>Freedom To Do Stupid Things

something like this. Though those stupid things aren't niche cars or any other innovations. It is plain old stupidity - US has 10K/year DUI related deaths, Denmark - 75/year, 2x less per capita. Also bigger cars popular in US like trucks - while fully public road certified, they are conceptually and engineering wise are relatively behind the curve - resulting in more deadly accidents.
The new license does not say "X applies if you use our name". It says "X applies if you use our source code under any name."
Wonderful promise ! I'm really thinking that I need an app like that one but how to justify the price ? I'm ready to pay for that kind of service but it's seems too expensive to me. How an app like this can cost you 10$ per month and in comparison an app like Procreate (best drawing app on iPad) cost you only 10$ (not per month or year, just 10$).
Intel Says It Fixed 7nm, but Will Still Outsource Some Parts
Sure, the timeline is driven by established protocols of safety & efficacy testing. So what should be done differently here? Are you advocating for mass availability to the general public on a caveat emptor basis, after say, animal safety trials?

From the FDA side, I suppose the issue is that in the absence of preliminary phase trial data, we don't know what we don't know. So it's less about not trusting the public to understand their individual risks, but that the drugs/vaccine offer risks that are unbounded. So perhaps the vaccine lipid nanoparticles are contaminated with toxic precursors that were not fully purified in the supply chain, or the lipids trigger an immune response to implants (something that did happen with cosmetic fillers), or they cross react with prescription statins in dangerous ways, or the encapsulated mRNAs trigger ANA antibodies, and so on. You may understand your own risk, but we were extremely ill equipped to understand the risks associated with the vaccines themselves till very recently.
> Its arguable that Elastic simply hasn’t come up with an open-source compatible business model, and that’s fine. But its not Amazon’s fault.

Exactly this.

Or more accurately, Elastic is pretending it doesn't have an open-source compatible business model.

The actual truth is, they've built a great business. $500MM in yearly revenue, with 40+% y/y growth, for a valuation of like $15B last time I checked. And yet they're trying to pretend this is a David vs Goliath story and that they're literally going to go out of business because of Amazon. Nope, it's all gaslighting. They don't need to make this license change, without it they'll still be a $50B business in a decade or less.

They're just having an immature childish response because, while they're making boatloads of money, Amazon is also making boatloads of money, and that's not fair in their eyes because Amazon didn't invent Elasticsearch. It's all so childish (and ignores the tremendous value AWS as a whole is, but that's another rant)
Functional programming doesn’t have an inherent performance downside, but it depends on specific optimizations in compilers and runtimes to make it fast. Python doesn’t really optimize anything from what I know.
Is there anything Ubuntu-specific in Ubuntu these days (other than process stuff, like release cycle)? Or is it just Debian with commercial support and branding?
I always thought bitcoin core and bitcoin.org were run by the same people. Who controls bitcoin.org?
I don't trust aws will do a good job with the fork. Can anyone tell me a FOSS project led by amazon that's not for accessing their services (boto)?

Now that elastic.co is going sideways, sphinxsearch (best search server experience I've had) non-foss since circa 2017, what are the good search server options for a small shop dealing wth geo search?

I'd also like to recommend the rest of Ian's site, as it has lots of periodic, often geeky, information about London, especially Underground. Like his weekly review of alleys: https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/category/alleys/
Someone at Elastic didn't do the math on this. Amazon can easily fund developers, they just didn't because they didn't have to. Now that the gorilla has been enraged woe to the thing that pissed it off. We'll see if amazon actually contributes to the new fork. The fact that amazon is in a better position to make money off of open source software is part of the calculation that startups should be making if they are writing open source software, especially if their moat is a proprietary shim that any of the big providers could rewrite in a month if they cared. Adding a rider to your open source that says "oh, and only the original authors at this one company are allowed to implement those shims" may play well with the HN crowd, but it isn't open source anymore.

I will also note that is clearly not enough competition in the cloud provider space, if there were more competition then elastic might be able to make money from the platform providers by implementing ES for each platform as you suggest.
Usenet (via NNTP) was pretty widespread at one point, and is akin to a federated/distributed Reddit. So I don't see why it couldn't technically work now. But you have to find a way to drive up adoption to hit a sufficient level of users and hosts.
Probably you were hired at grade 9 or 10?
Thanks, that must explain why his legal opinion below was downvoted to a similar degree.
>Interestingly, Formula E cars have a 5 speed gearbox, but mostly because the rules says they have to.

This is no longer required. A few teams stuck with the five speed, but most have dropped to three or four speeds.

The Formula E cars still need gearboxes because there isn't a single gear ratio that can provide optimal acceleration between 0 and 175mph with an 18,000 RPM redline. The massive powerband of the motors means that they don't benefit from as many gears as piston engines do, but there is still a benefit to having more than one gear.

The next generation cars will go dual-motor, presumably each with different final drive ratios: a shorter gear on the front motor for low-speed power, and a taller rear end gear for top speed, but this is speculation on my part.
Well so be it . . the Russkys will be happy to host Parlor and as such embarrass America, supposed land of freedom, civil rights, and left wing censorship . . . .
So capitalism is right-wing now? Oh let me guess, this is the old "Democrats are actually right-wing", right?

> As for the news media, as an example, Fox News has the highest viewership in the US.

Yes one channel is different than every other, of course viewership is concentrated there -- all the lefty viewers are spread out over the remaining channels.

If the other news channels aren't "left-wing" then Fox isn't "right-wing", and everything is meaningless. There isn't a large population of commies or nazis in the US, despite what the media would have you believe. Both parties are pretty near the center, with some individual outliers.
you're not alone. it's pretty obvious when you care enough to listen to him directly talking about bitcoin, economy, law, history... There's a lot of quality interdisciplinary information coming from him, that makes infinite more sense than anything anybody else says about bitcoin. you just have to understand his aspergers manierisms, but for me it's clear he's the real deal, despite all the vicious fud coming from interested parties.

It's a shame that even in HN people aren't immune to the shallow crypto propaganda...
I think the right mental model to have here is that AWS can boot any customer that becomes problematic for them, including Signal. It seems unlikely that you can skirt their AUP terms by constructing a service that makes it impossible for you to comply with their terms.

Amazon can enforce their contracts selectively. The contract isn't a statute; it's an agreement between two parties. Amazon could presumably strike up a side agreement with a customer that overrode the "master" contract. I'm not a lawyer, but stuff like that happens in consulting somewhat regularly, where you have an MSA governing all your projects, and specific contracts for weird projects.
For anything that isn't a car you're gonna want gears for the same reason electric drills have gears. Think of it like low range.

"muh instant 0rpm torque" is absolutely nothing compared to the inertia of a hired driver who doesn't care (or is just a novice) dumping the clutch. Building a transmission to handle electric motor loads isn't a particularly remarkable engineering challenge. (Though you can make any engineering exercise challenging if you add sufficient weight and budgetary constraints)

Imagine a medium or heavier truck that's expected to both get a load moving at low speed and to cruise at 80. Putting anything near peak power through an electric motor at low speeds lets the magic smoke out in short order. Sure you can gear it down but then you have insane rpm at high speed and the wonderful engineering problem of getting that insanely overbuilt motor to not fling itself apart at those speed. A simple two speed transmission is a far more elegant solution. Especially since a transmission for an electric motor can be far simpler than one for an ICE. Letting the magic smoke out was a big problem in early EV conversions because power was low and consequently the vehicles available for conversion didn't have lots of good options for deep gearing.
This feels like a spin? Isn't AWS biting hand that feeds them? They need a win-win strategy for open source devs. It's hard enough to compete with their version of your service (spark, kafka) without them forking your project. what's next, are they going to fork spark and kafka?
Yeah, i get your point, but i'm thinking many in the dev camp didn't really realize the extent of this 'principle' as in 'people are nice kinda way'. I think this will only make OSS developers more aware about what kind of licencing they choose or choose to contribute to, one thing is to contribute to free software. But when others can live in mansions because of it, maybe not so much :)
> AFAIK Azure/Google have actual partnerships with the Elastic stack, partnerships that assumedly benefit both sides and have staying power.

Can you elaborate a bit here? We deploy from elastic.co into AWS and it seems to be fully supported. I'm not sure what they'd be doing with Google Cloud/Azure that they're not doing with AWS. Their homepage seems to still equate them all "Run where and how you want. Deploy on Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services with Elastic Cloud."
Maybe I watched too much of suits, but is that not illegal for publicly traded companies?
The underlying asset has to have some intrinsic value for it to be a store of value. Gold is a value store because people can use it to make things, and historically it's been one of the assets that women could own.
Peak torque is at zero, but peak power is not.
I've seen a copy of an email exchange between Amazon and Parler from Nov/Dec (which is difficult to Google for at the moment) which was shared publicly.

Amazon bring up some examples of posts that concern them. Parler say they will look at the post that constitute actual threats but have a policy of not removing content like the post that's just a long, content free screed of racial abuse. That alone can easily be considered violation of Amazon's conveniently broad AUP.

Amazon appear not to have chosen to terminate or threaten to at the time, presumably on the basis they were getting plenty of money and relatively little grief for hosting them, but it puts a very different perspective on the idea that Parler was caught completely by surprise, and would have cleaned up everything they could if only they'd had more time and resources.
I think talented people will not take it unless they're between a rock and a hard place. Sadly what this does is it attracts only the most junior or unqualified hires who (are great if you got time/budget but if not) will need to be trained by the few seniors left holding the place together.

I'm not surprised Intel does this and the telecommunications side I have seen from them in Europe was rotten to the core. I have several anecdotes here just one: A friend got poached from Intel in a cushy job with great pay in a key role a lot of niche knowledge, they had to know how valuable he was, after the first week on the new job with Intel he got told that the department decided to reduce the headcount due to a restructuring and so he was the first to go.

If it sounds like "business as usual" let me add nobody else was fired, he had a 3 month long negotiation, 6 months notice period on the old job, 3 kids, and in his late 40ies in a specific market. What he was promised would have justified taking the risk. Later I heard they do this all the time from a guy who recruits for Intel. Also this was not in the enterprise market with lot of talent but telecommunications O&M (operations and maintenance plane). He eventually went to go beg to get his job back. He'll never have the same standing in the company tho.
It's like leaving your car in the middle of the road, keys in the ignition, and a deed transferring ownership to whoever holds it under the window wiper, then getting annoyed at someone driving off with it.
If you think capitalism causes problems with people getting paid for good work, I think you might be glossing over the historical failures of the alternatives relative to the ultimate goal of free / open software: user freedom.

Even in a socialist system, how does it solve the problem of competition, free ridership, and economically non-rival/non-excludable goods like software source code? You still need to collect money but no one has to pay it unless you erect laws that restrict user freedom.
No need to typecast as long as you can teach the rodents to bark, since the police should be using Dog Typing anyhow.
AFAIK, that tweet from Vogel is the only time someone representing AWS claimed to have a partnership with Elastic. He was wrong, but I don't think it's fair calling it "dishonest."
It's 2021 now, and any vehicle on the drawing board won't go into production until ~2024.

Many jurisdictions around the world are already banning the sale of new ICE vehicles from about 2030

I would be shocked if any company anywhere is sinking R&D money into designing new ICE motors, and I believe we're seeing the last evolution that will ever come. They'll keep building what they've already designed, but they're not going to sink billions into designing new ones.

Yes, yes, tractors and transport trucks and whatever will persist, but I think for mass produced passenger vehicles, we'll never see another big ICE R&D breakthrough like Variable valve timing or variable vane turbos or overhead camshafts. It's over.

That sounds very inefficient. Here’s something that gets good results quickly. Tie a string/top to a filled 2L bottle. Attach the other end of the rope to the center of a short wooden pole. Wind up the bottle. Wind down the bottle. Repeat ad infinitum. Quick and easy.
This is spawning a lengthy subthread but because you asked me, just for the record, I don't care about the competing moral claims. I'm just interested in what the law says here. The moral stuff never seems to converge to any kind of real insight on HN, but the legal stuff has a right and a wrong answer that we can hope to reach by debating it.
Each container can be colour coded (up to 8 colours) and each tab is underscored with the same colour, so you can immediately see which is which.

What is the problem crypto is trying to solve? We have wire transfers to move money around. If we wanted to create a public ledger of all money transactions, we could do it using a lot less energy than we are using on crypto right now.
I don't use Twitter and I don't read their blog, so if I wanted to see their post-mortems, I would have just asked their paid support no matter whether they've made one readily accessible or not.

It seems like your primary goal is to call them out, rather than to get an explanation, and so I don't really have any advice to offer in that regard.

Reality is that the Dems own the entire congress and the presidency right now.

Reality is we are representative democracy. The forefathers deliberately designed it that way.

Reality must line up with your arguments. It does not.

If what you say is true, Trump would most likely be president right now.

Dems own entire cities with the largest population centers. Dems have better organized grassroots. Dems have California and New York, the main stream media.

What advantages you speak of are moot compared to those ones.

We are a representative democracy and we always have been.

Personally me and my team just evaluated the AWS ES and Elastic offerings, and the AWS offering (surprisingly!) came out on top, for our use case. Better performance, better IaC support, and marginally cheaper.

Honestly I would have preferred the Elastic offering to work better, but that wasn't the case.
Pff real pros write everything in machine code
Ditto. This whole thread makes me feel out of touch.
> Yet it would've prevented AWS from undercutting their paid offering in the place I'm at now that would rather pay for it than self-host it.

Key word here is would've. They were already Apache 2.0 until 7.1.0 therefore this change will have absolutely no effect on Amazon's business; all it will do is encourage the develop of high-quality feature-rich Apache 2.0 forks while hurting Elastic's brand image - rightly so - because they're (a) no longer an open-source company [except for beats/etc which only works in the context of the now-proprietary elasticsearch/kibana], and (b) they outright lied to the community when they claimed that future versions of their open core would always remain Apache 2.0

Intel's Hillsboro campus is located "in the middle of nowhere in Oregon" in almost exactly the same sense that Microsoft's Redmond campus sits "in the middle of nowhere in Washington"; each one is located at the edge of a suburb of the largest city in the state, right next to a highway which leads straight downtown, less than fifteen miles away.
Those are... rather onerous HW requirements. Do you really need 20k cores to run a small-medium size social network? Asking because I have personal running a 40-50 million monthly users file sharing site on less than a tenth of that and most of it was done with Rails (itself not the most minimalist of frameworks).

To say the Republicans have any kind of advantage right now except for maybe the courts is incorrect.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or real.

I'm the reason why Core removed Gavin's commit access, as I pointed out that he doesn't use it, he was bamboozled by Craig, and in fact Gavin himself agreed that it should've been done long before just as a security measure.

The FUD on here is always surprising voluminous.
Bad comparison, Amazon does much more than Elastic. How much does the Amazon Elasticsearch product bring in? That's what actually matters here.
