Hi Matt,

My wife and I were surprised and sorry when we heard Bertrand's passing last fall. It was a privilege getting to know your family first as neighbors and then as friends back in SLC. I was always humbled at seeing the effort that you and Christina put into moving heaven and earth out of your love for Bertrand.
Not everyone can say they've made a lasting positive impact on the world, but you and your family certainly have.

I guess I’m just a little disturbed people on here think joking about war crimes is all in good fun and a key site moderator accused me of violating norms for point that out. I know you think you’re doing your best to create a community for civil discussion, but by what seems closer to the truth is this site is gradually becoming an IDW echo chamber.
Like calling 3d graphics "3d" when it's only displayed on a flat screen? :)
So they extracted the PR value just long enough for people to think of them as "charitable", and then they bailed.
> We got better answers out of random Google searches and a 20 minute conversation with a friend of a friend.

On the other hand, if you were asking support to train you on "how to do A, B, C" while you didn't even check the documentation nor made a basic google search, I can understand why you were disappointed. Paying more for support doesn't change the nature of it, it doesn't magically become a google bot for you.

Could you maybe give an example on the issues you reported to support ?
But the code licensed as Apache 2.0 stays that way. The open code doesn't magically become closed source.
And sort of controls the radio.
Generally a VM <> external pricing.
Its tricky to setup Privatelink with a service provider. For example Elastic cloud will have its own kubernetes setup. It could be behind a HW loadbalancer - how do you set up Privatelink there ?

Super tricky and not applicable in all circumstances. GCP and AWS must move towards sane traffic pricing (or risk anti-monopoly lawsuits). The licensing changes are just a first step.

P.S. : offtopic... can i use privatelink between AWS and Google Cloud ? do you have an idea on how much it would cost on either side ?
You think somebody else will want to build a search engine with these crazy laws? Good luck with that.
So is choosing not to do business with them.
Let's Encrypt still has to publish OCSP responses for every non-expired leaf certificate, at least in time that you can always get a new OCSP response before the previous one expires. In practice they have a tighter schedule so that there's a period between "We are not meeting our self-imposed deadline" and "The Internet broke, oops" in which staff can figure out the problem and fix it.

To do this they automatically generate and sign OCSP responses (the vast majority of which will just say the certificate is still good) on a periodic cycle, and then they deliver them in bulk to a CDN. The CDN is who your client (or server if you do OCSP stapling, which you ideally should) talks to when checking OCSP.

To generate those responses they need a way (hey, a database) to get the set of all certificates which have not yet expired and whether those certificates are revoked or not.
The internet says: "The Apollo program's total cost was about $25.4 billion, about $152 billion in today's dollars."

That's about Google's entire revenue for 2020. I don't think even Google could put a man on the moon at those rates. Literal moonshots are expensive.
What? It was always known.

Why do you think UNIX companies agreed on MIT license for the basic X Windows infrastructure, but then Motif was commercial on top?

Or how UNIX clones and Windows have used parts of BSD.

40 years now, more than known.
Check out what I was doing with http://gitspo.com/. Might give some inspiration. It is an aggregator of all mentions of open-source projects.

"The rare Westerner in Tomsk will be met with wariness and curiosity, though seldom hostility."https://www.tripsavvy.com/tomsk-the-hidden-russia-1502232

Especially while Nawalny was under heavy FSB observation. And why did the russians "not find" any traces of Novichok?
Why did the russians not start a massive investigation but have to wait for the official german report in the correct format or whatever.

If there would have been any possibility at all this being a false flag or a charade by Nawalny the city and airplane would be one big CSI labor.
Which has its roots in Italian/Catholic Corporatism.
TFA:

> But the Mountain View, California-based company has adapted to similar requests in other countries without cutting off search. Google stopped showing news results from European publishers on search results for French users last year after local regulators urged it to pay for content, and then on Thursday the firm said it reached a deal to pay media publishers in the country.
I'm not talking about America overall leaning. I'm talking about where the concentration is

Antifa isn't real, that is right wing media fear mongering

The extremes of the left wing in America isn't winning races. But the extreme fringe of the right wing is. Look at who won and lost primaries.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/26/opinion/sunda...

That first image shows what I'm talking about. America's left is center, the Republicans are all the way on the extreme right. If you think your an American center, your on the right
Ask HN: How do you handle marketing on side projects?
I built a Telegram Bot (@MyScheduleRobot) and waited a couple of months, and then this happened: No one used it. I told the people I knew about it, and then a handful of people used it. I am accepting tips there and my intention is to receive some by providing something useful to people for free. So I have to do something about it.

I'm interested in both: concrete hints on what to do about this and the bigger picture: What is the role of marketing in solo side projects? Do I really have to pay in order to deliver something to people for free? Should I go with the: "If it doesn't grow by itself it should die"-approach? I'm keen on any low level and high level perceptions and opinions on this.
this is less "tesla" Musk and more "spacex" Musk idea.

`So you are saying if you do open source you must be fine with being exploited?`

And how is a company using open source software exploitative? I mean, isn't that the point of releasing open source software, that companies use it? And aren't companies in the business of making money, so at some level, they are profiting from your work?

Actually the opposite of open sourcing a system like this would be a massive fragmentation of the market with multiple competing proprietary systems emerging and total headaches for users with obsolescence a part of their daily lives. That is the grim alternative, not companies profiting from selling services based on open source software
Whether an asset has cash flow is besides my point. If one buys an asset with the intention of selling later at a profit, they are speculating. It’s fine to criticize speculators, but my point is it is not exclusive to Bitcoin. The majority of all stock investing is speculation. Very few investors buy stock purely for dividends with no care for whether the price will rise or fall. If Bitcoin is a “ponzi” because buyers are hoping to profit from rising price, then the stock market is also a “ponzi.”
Large numbers of people saying that a group of people don't have a fundamental right to exist is literally the same thing as X-ism.

AWS is ruining one of the few working business models we had to support Open Source.
I suppose batteries already have cooling. During charging, it could run at top performance. Likely air cooling with ambient air would be enough.
It's not a threat though. The article title is misleading. In fact the article body quotes the Google spokesperson as saying it's not a threat.

* ' Ms Silva described the ultimatum as a "worst case scenario", adding: "It's not a threat. It's a reality". '

Note the authors description as 'ultimatum', while the plain language of the quote is "it's not a threat".

I'm not the biggest Google fan these days; but from what I know how Google operates [1], I don't think it's a threat either. I think Google would genuinely have to stop providing search.

[1] Google -as a search engine company pushes traffic to your site, which you can choose to monetize or not as you see fit. On their side the company monetizes their search engine by means of advertising in this case. If you ask for the traffic AND both sides of the money, there's no profit left for the search engine provider anymore, and they will be forced to shut down (in that region).
It's kind of like trying to shutdown all muslim media after 911 because some terrorist will be using it to inspire.
This summer I had the luck of actually seeing a Loon balloon floating way up in the sky. Viewing it with a telescope was surreal, especially at night, you could see it blink!

Not sure what you're saying here.

The ‘GC’ refers to garbage collector, not GCC.

It is true that you can write a compiler frontend targeting a generic backend (like GCC), and take advantage of existing optimizations. Truffle's somewhat unique value prop is that you can write a basic interpreter (not compiler) and get performance approaching that of a top-end JIT.
Give me money so I can quit my job and write full time. No? You fucking fascist.

Rupert Murdoch won't put Chomsky on prime-time Fox News? Fucking fascist.

Ethics is not the same as corporate policy. Ethics needs openness to explore the, well, "ethics" of a particular conflict -- and it can only work on known facts, not speculation.

Further, some would say that to be ethical might mean exposing unethical behavior regardless if it violates corporate policy.
Thanks - I’d probably also add this one to my list: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7X2j8HAkWdmMoS8PE/disputing-...

I swear 90% of arguments are basically that blog post.
Here's what we're making : If developers have a JS micro service or an API, they can extend it's reach by simply deploying their 'micro-app' to our app. Having a slack app requires a lot of maintenance and needs a server that runs 24/7 which is the reason most small developers don't deploy to Slack. Also, visibility is a lot lower for the smaller developers and the costs might add up real quick without giving enough in return. With what I'm building, All JS developers will be able to make their APIs and MicroServices accessible to the strong user base Slack has without the need for the worry and hassle currently required. No other expertise required. In most cases, your microservice or API will already be compatible thanks to the way the app is being built

If LUKS could store a piece of random public data in the LUKS header then LUKS keys could be derived by signing that public data.

For example, ssh-agent can sign arbitrary data via its wire protocol. Lots of USB security keys expose their functionality via ssh-agent.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-miller-ssh-agent-04

Does LUKS / cryptsetup provide hooks for deriving a key from a blob of plaintext stored on the disk?

[edit] There’s the UUID — sign it with your ssh-agent and use the hexdigest as a LUKS key. It sounds so simple it must already exist?
Ubuntu Linux is now running on M1 Macs
That's not the issue here. Kafka is far more fragile than it should be, partly because companies have always approached it as cluster-first and partly because it's enterprise-first software where high setup costs just aren't important. A lot of JVM software ends up like this - there's a big chunk of fiddly O(1) work in getting it all going, just because no-one ever bothers to make it all easy to get started with.

I say this as a huge fan of Kafka, but things like MySQL have better defaults and are easier to get running out of the box, and there's no reason Kafka's starting experience couldn't be the same if someone cared enough to put the time and effort in. And ultimately it's a shame, because it leads people to ignore something that's a much better model and platform in the long term.
0. I fucking love Gary Numan.

1. I’m not remotely surprised.

2. Because the recording artist economy has always been fucked[1].

3. Because Gary Numan is more known for his influence than his work (like Leonard Cohen).

4. Because people wanted Taylor Swift so much she gave in even though a young twerp could see the scam.

I know it’s a pandemic and we can’t go to live shows, but y’all. If you want your beloved music to survive and thrive. Go to (virtual) shows. Buy shirts and posters. Follow your artists and buy what they’re promoting. Record sales and streams are promotional marketing, you’re paying marketing executives for them.

Yes, but apparently the work of drawing causal inference is unneeded because the judge already assumed it in her ruling, perhaps using her amazing oracular or exploit powers.
This. The assumption that these ETs would appear in the same form as us, or even in the same dimension, shows us how limited our thinking is.

If a lifeform has gone through let's say million times the evolving that we have, wouldn't their consciousness and expression of life have developed probably into something alltogether different.

Maybe even something that we cannot see or hear with just our physical senses or instruments. There are many theories about this if you read on the subject, people being in contact with different species, but explaining that they came from between dimensions from example.
Amazing.

So institutional investors have steered the market for years and if you lost your hat because of them, well, that's investing. You clearly played it to you personal risk tolerance.

The momemt they get burned by someone else moving markets... Oh, how the tune changes.
High speed satefy mechanisms could mitigate this. Put a grounded pad under the car and cut power if anything flows for more than a microsecond.

I think it's doable
Wouldn't this be considered 'strategic' to Google b/c it had the potential to provide additional eyeballs & ad revenue to users outside of their normal markets (US/EU)?
Ironically, trying to literalise language to control discourse is the most Orwellian - in the sense of IngSoc's Newspeak - thing present.

(I have the unfair advantage of actually having read 1984, which it seems unlikely most Parler enthusiasts have)
>but the only cases where the corresponding NIC takes action is when someone complains for content-motivated reasons

Can you name some examples of this where someone was fraudulently claiming IPs, but corresponding NICs refused to take action when provided evidence like in this case?

Morality is not enforceable through software licensing, nor necessarily enforceable at all.
Why not just use AGPL v2, then?
I don't think it's so unreasonable to take the existence of that contract as evidence that AWS reviewed twitter's content and deemed it acceptable content.

Twitter content isn't on AWS now though, and there's no way to know what Twitter has agreed to remove in the move over to AWS, so essentially this argument says that Parler should be allowed to stay on AWS because it's possible that AWS might host similar content in the future. That argument obviously doesn't work. A business can't be judged on what might happen in the future.
rbenv actually solves this quite well. You can set a project-level version in a .ruby-version file, and each lang version has its own gem cache
Yes, but the Chinese companies also have the right to withdraw services based on the rules imposed on them.
There are proposals currently in progress to add GC and exceptions to wasm.

As for objects, it's not clear to me how important it is to have runtime support for those.
this is less about earth and the green tech, and more about mars, as his reply to EverydayAstronaut's query about the viability of the Sabatier process hints:

> It’s a good path for fully renewable rocket energy, so solves part of problem, but longer chain hydrocarbons than CH4 are needed to be solid at room temp

This also links up with spacex not only buying two oil rigs to turn into starship platforms abut also buying a gas well for in house methane production
From your comment I cannot establish whether you are being sarcastic or what they over at wsb call 'one of the retards'.. Either way godspeed to you
Maybe they are, but their service is super constrained and retains human supervision - just remote controlled.
Apache 2 license doesn’t allow you to relicense. So absorbing changes from AWS’ fork won’t be clear or easy as many in this thread suggest.
It is the state that recognizes Amazon and Elastic in the first place, though. Without the state's involvement, a developer at Elastic could choose to continue releasing their work product to the world under an open-source license - and a developer at AWS could choose to release the secret sauce that makes AWS's Elasticsearch such a threat to Elastic.

We're having this whole conversation about whether big companies might subvert and coerce the state without recognizing that they already do coerce it by making the state recognize their very existence. They would have no power without that (what is a lobbyist without anything to lobby on behalf of?), but they've been so successful at hawking their narrative that all of us think it's perfectly normal and inevitable that they exist.

Take that red-and-black pill (either because it's half-doomer or because it's ancom, either way) and chew on it.
Russia and all things Russian appear to have become something of a scare word. There's a palatable innuendo here. Cyber security alarmists and internet do-gooders wouldn't use the same tone to note that a firm is located in Connecticut or Michigan.
Is that even possible at any sort of scale?

Google primary way of innovating these days is just buying promising startups. See: Android, Nest, DeepMind, Firebase, FitBit
> Amazon presented a record of months of complaints about specific pieces of violent content on Parler, to which Parler not only didn't respond, but in fact waved off by saying they had a backlog of tens of thousands of similar pieces of content.

They were adding six digit numbers of users a day. Was a temporary backlog that unreasonable?

> Reddit bans whole subs when they get too out of hand to moderate, while Parler effectively is one of those banned subs.

Reddit (per Wikipedia) has 330 million users and 138,000 subs. Parler had 10 million users, equivalent to more than 4000 subs, not one.

And I think that's the root of it. "Nuke from orbit" against something that had the capacity to be saved through measures dramatically less drastic than that.
Facebook Reality Labs does VR and AR, eg the Oculus Quest. They innovate and develop great mass-market consumer hardware but they've started doing an awful job in every other respect (their family sharing model sucks compared to Steam). I'm looking forward to see them being disrupted by a real competitor soon.
Oh, only $70 per hour. I think I can start that for an hour or so before my wallet is exhausted :P

Even the label "rationalist" itself is pathetic, and very revealing. It's basically a way to signal "I am right, take my word for it".

And no, while I enjoyed reading and watching the lord of the rings as much as anyone, I'm very confident most people would agree that the type of person who surrounds themselves with other hardcore Tolkien fans and makes subtle Tolkien references in everyday life don't tend to be what you'd call the most well-adjusted people.

I just realized both the previous and the new name of his blog is an anagram of his name. Again, this sends a certain signal, which is evidently very appealing to a lot of people, but to me screams "run".
As an outsider, the reason why Waymo is way ahead is clear. Extremely talented team, access to Google infrastructure and expertise, deep pockets and a culture of prioritizing safety over everything.
If we go down that route then pretty soon 80% of people will be unable to find employment, at all. Which is fine as long as the rest of society is set up to handle that in terms of things like healthcare.
I mean some of their projects are a little... loony.
Huh, I used to work next to the Brain team, didn't realize that they started out as Google X.

Per their wiki article:

> Astro Teller has said that Google Brain paid for the entire cost of Google X

even assuming that Waymo has zero expected future profitability.
Your last paragraph reminds me of one of my favorite short stories from him, about "Scissor Statements". Very black mirror vibes, and I mean that as a sincere complement.

I don’t see a path for absorbing and relicense. Especially if the core code method signature diverges in the future. It is going to be a lot of trouble for Elastic to absorb non-trivial contributions from the fork.
Try driving in Alabama, Minnesota, etc.

Like I said, we will get there. It’s really not there yet. I too lived in the Bay and regularly went down to San Diego. Much easier to do if you’re willing to take a couple 20 min breaks on the way (pretty normal). There are charging stations though. It’s always warm, roads are flat, etc

All I was saying is Tesla is good for what it is. It’s not well suited (today) for country or even some suburbs. For those instances hybrids are a better fit
Agreed, I would wager that this is where a good majority of startups begin until they take a good stock of the situation at hand.
Google has absolutely no choice but to make Waymo succeed with Apple and Tesla taking the space seriously.

It’s not a moonshot, it’s an absolute necessity.
that strive to solve a large, global issue through somewhat charitable actions

Capturing eyeballs and mindshare before anyone else can is hardly charitable. It was 100% for the benefit of themselves, and everyone knows it. Facebook have tried the same scam.
If Numan had gotten £37,000 for a million streams (30 seconds or more), that'd be 3.7 pence per listen. Hardly an unreasonable ask.

"Tony Harlow, chief executive of Warner Music UK, cautioned against disrupting the system. 'This is an evolving situation,' he said. 'It is being well-governed by a market that is efficient and nimble and it doesn't need any change.' "

Ooo ... now there's a surprise.

If musicians would get together, create their own streaming service, they could pay a very good wage to people to run it, quit the system, never feed the fat, fat whales again, and certainly pocket 1p a listen.
You need a business though. And that doesn't move the needle.
While this could be considered a noble effort, I wish Alphabet would have tried harder. Google has enormous resources and talent. It seems like they dedicated relatively little to aggressively making Loon happen.

When the US took a moon shot, we actually made it to the dann moon. It was very expensive and risky and lives were lost. But we committed ourselves and accomplished the goal no matter what it took.

I hope that these Alphabet projects aren't just pr / recruiting investments disguised as big ideas about the future.
