That sounds like an issue that the open source community 1) needs to get over and 2) probably doesn't have a consistent view on.

Also, RedHat built a billion dollar business on this idea, so it's not like it's new.

And if I recall, most people were on Elastic's side with the license change.

Have you spent much time talking to UI people? The position attracts a type of person that tends to ignore everything anyone around them says about what they like or dislike but then claim to know exactly what everyone wants in a UI
Wow you're dumb as a box of rocks. Do you not remember the unmarked federal agents whisking away protestors? Or do you not have the nuance to understand the difference between protesting oppression and committing an act of sedition?
Cell phone location data does not imply person is guilty and people will get their day in court if the FBI actually determines they've committed something illegal.

This is similar to 2011 England riots where end result was "By 15 August 2011 around 3,100 people had been arrested, of whom over 1,100 had appeared in court"

As I remember, they went pretty hard in England as well, a judge stated that "an overwhelming obligation on sentencing courts to do what they can to ensure the protection of the public", that "the imposition of severe sentences, intended to provide both punishment and deterrence, must follow" and that "[t]hose who deliberately participate in disturbances of this magnitude, causing injury and damage and fear to even the most stout-hearted of citizens, and who individually commit further crimes during the course of the riots are committing aggravated crimes".

Also, what do you expect them to do after 2 police officers were killed on tape, one lady got killed by her stupidity, pipe bombs found, imbeciles looking for Pelosi to hang... Computers with potentially sensitive data stolen... and god knows what foreign agents could have taken/compromised just blending in...

What would you do if you were in charge of the investigation?
Like producer price inflation, asset inflation isn't what people are talking about when they talk about “inflation” without modifiers, which refers to consumer price inflation. When people predicted inflation from QE, they were predicting consumer price inflation. And depending on how you look at it, they were either right and that was entirely the point of the policy (if you look at the difference between actual results and what was predicted without the policy) or wrong because they failed to consider the deflation that would happen without the policy (if judged by a net standard rather than delta from without-the-policy expectations.)

Pointing to asset price inflation to say “there is the predicted inflation from QE” is the fallacy of equivocation; shifting definitions to suit the argument.
Show HN: Lunaa my 2nd startup after 2 years of Indiehacking
Small tangent: I tend to borrow all the money that is offered to me at 0% effective rate, e.g., when buying a new mobile phone. I would even go as far as to borrow all money that is offered to me at sub-inflation rates.

Is this rational?
The activity at the Capitol clearly went beyond the bounds of what I’d call a protest. Furthermore, as a resident in an area which saw destruction by left-leaning groups, I believe those individuals should also be prosecuted.

I don’t think this has anything to do with “right” or “left”, it has to do with illegally breaking into the Capitol, especially while congress was present. A group of left leaning trespassers would likely have seen, and deserved, a similar response.

> AWS knows that if they take too much of ES' market that they won't survive. If they don't survive it will just be a matter of time before ES is dropped by Amazon and totally unsupported.

I don't get how you came to this conclusion.

If Elastic goes bust, why would Amazon suddenly drop support for product? They have customers paying millions for the service, why the heck would they drop it?

If anything I would expect Amazon to keep the service and work harder to ensure good service, so they can absorb that portion of the market not being served.
In theory that's true. In practice, utilizing the highly-optimized already-in-kernel-mode page cache can produce tremendous performance. LMDB, for example, is screaming fast, and doesn't use DIO.
Well GPS is 1.2 to 1.5GZ and you can get accuracy to a few meters easily. I have a higher end module that gets down to a meter[1]. Seems obvious that G4 which uses roughly same frequencies but with cell towers vastly closer than a GPS satellite could get 1M.

[1] Give it a few minutes and it'll pin point where my desk is inside my office.
Using a neural network for things that have clear cut rules is wrong. When you know the exact rules, implement them as such, instead of bruteforcing a guesstimation. This is also why I'm sceptical of the usr of GPT-3 for all sorts of purposes where accuracy is important. Think of the code generation case. Bugs may be very subtle and may go unnoticed.
Of course. All privacy is like that. All encryptions is like that.
I'm in a similar situation right now where I am unable to create an Instagram account. I deleted my Facebook and Instagram accounts nearly a decade ago. Recently, I've been searching for artists to commission for work, but everyone uses Insta for their portfolios now instead of an openly accessible website. Browsing Insta without an account is a PITA because you constantly get blocked from content until you log in. So I caved and tried creating an account.

Go to the registration screen, enter all of my info, and submit. Get a weird error message along the lines of "your information is incorrect; please enter your phone number to verify your info." Enter my phone number; "your information is incorrect." Get booted back to the login screen. Try to log in using the credentials I just entered and get an invalid email address message. Try to create an account again with that email; "that email address can not be used to create an account."

So I tried two more times, first registering with all the correct personal info and a different email address. Same result. Try again with yet another email address that I have never used to sign up for an account, this time entering random personal information, using a different web browser, and connecting to the hotspot on my phone instead of my wifi. Still the same result. Ask my significant other to log in on my browser with her account; works just fine.

Funny, why do they claim to know my personal information better than me? How would they even know all of that information? I don't know what criteria they are using to decide that I am not a valid person and therefore not allowed to sign up for their service. The only option I have left is to create a new email address and try registering an account using it and some fake identity.
> If I have to communicate to every bad actor how I identified them as a bad actor, that only helps them sidestep my prevention mechanisms.

If you don't, you're the bad actor. If specific actions lead to a ban, the way to sidestep that is to not do those actions. If you don't even look at the actions but some BS meta stuff, or have wishy-washy rules you enforce randomly, you're the bad actor.
when Facebook can highlight lies about a candidate and allow them to perpetuate without issue... and then suppress lies about another candidate with extreme prejudice...

It does not. Maybe it should though. I know a company I worked at logged everything that was done or accessed within our Salesforce instance, maybe something needs to be done like that rather than allowing folks to run arbitrary sql queries against the database.
I don't like IRMA because it makes it too easy for sites to verify identity (even though they don't get more information than what they ask for, and in some cases only proof that the attribute exists rather than the information itself).

I just think it provides a 'sliding scale'. With IRMA it becomes much easier to validate identity. Right now sites have to ask for a payment or ID card which people are obviously very hesitant to provide. So websites only do it if it's really necessary.

With IRMA it becomes too accessible. I don't want to ID myself every time I sign up for some hobbyforum or whatever. The internet should remain as anonymous as possible. IRMA makes it possible for websites to ask for identity information in a quick and painless way and that makes the actual asking more prevalent ("drempelverlagend" as we say in the Netherlands). More and more sites will add ID validation as a result.

Personally I like the internet as it is.. There used to be a saying "On the internet nobody knows if you're a dog". We shouldn't strive to change this IMO. The problem isn't just that I want to ID myself in a privacy-conscious way. I just don't want to ID myself at all.

As a non-US person I'm not concerned about the NSA, it doesn't have a material impact on me, it's not like the NSA orders a black helicopter to snatch me from Germany. I'm worried about corporate use of my data because that stuff can actually realistically leak or be used for ads or whatever else and in this case I have probably better default protections with a Swiss company than with a US based one. (with some exceptions of course, Signal and so on seem trustworthy).

It would be fairly interesting to try, and take votes as feedback. That's what we all do here, anyway...

…Although you can reach a point where you have enough karma not to care and troll a bit/speak more freely, which if you only look at the vote outcome, can net you big in both directions (though there is a lower bound). In the end, it's exactly like an optimization problem, if you're "farming" karma: a lot of safe bets, and a few more risky ones to maybe discover a new class of safe ones.

Reddit is full of safe gamblers who are farmink karma by repeating canned patterns.

fundamental mistake. The complete project data, UI, configuration, classes, files, etc.,) was stored in a single file. That file appeared more like a database file. That helped it show errors in realtime, keep the project always accurate, and screen transitions slick. It was difficult for multiple developers to work in a single project. It was around the same time source control systems were becoming workplace tools and the concept of multiple developers working on a single file. In those days, it was not still possible for multiple developers (Visual SourceSafe) to work on a single file at a time
What do you think, most such data comes from Apps, they just ask for permission and give you no rights at all. Location data is a such business, for traffic or business. Look at this example from Thasos. The look many hours and shifts are in companys and sell the data to traders.

Haha thanks for the reply. And congratulations!
There's nothing wrong with that as long as the law enforcement is trustworthy and competent. We do want to catch criminals. That's the whole point of having law enforcement. It's funny that in America, people seem to have so given up on the idea of the police being honest and competent that all they want is to reduce their power. They don't seem to want reform and instead would rather suffer from crime than be investigated by the police.

Becoming a suspect shouldn't be a scary thing to avoid. You should be able to just ignore your status and wait for the police to exclude you. But somehow it's a problem in America that people just accept.
Yes, that model would be detectable, what does that get anyone though?

I found flaws with a lot of models, whether it was greater vulnerability of not getting your phone back, or having too many other phones in the same place.

I decided that more phones in the same and route was more tolerable.

But any model I didnt think of I’d like to read it.

Thanks for the feedback! Right now we have a PR breakdown on the user overview (Completed/Rejected). So that could be a good judge of quality. And I could see pulling in stats from Github (i.e. 'this user has contributed to 25 projects').

But I wouldn't necessarily want to block new developers from being able to contribute to a project. I think it would be best to have anyone able to contribute, but perhaps a flag on the project owner side to see that user's rating.
If you believe CNN is "just the news" then you are suffering from reinforcing confirmation bias as well as echo chamber.

You agree with the positions CNN takes there for it is "news" and outlets that have differing positions to those you agree with are "fake news" and "want to make the human race go backwards"

Perhaps you haven't spent much time on unemployment or Medicaid? I work in a dental clinic, and it seems like every month there's another wrinkle added to the Medicaid system to make it stingier and to chase away more providers. Unemployment only helps a quarter of those who are unemployed, and it pays those people on average a third of what they were making while employed.

This diagram shows that "CARES Act" was very much not about "expanding existing welfare and unemployment benefits". [0]

Americans who haven't traveled have no concept of how a functioning polity cares for citizens during a pandemic. If our government doesn't care for us, why do we tolerate it?

You can become a suspect for all sorts of random things you have no control over, like being near a crime, knowing certain people, etc.

I don't see how it can work any other way.

> A McDonalds double cheeseburger meal costs $8.

> I remember when that was 3.99 not too long ago. Somehow I doubt that price difference is captured by the official 1 - 2% inflation rate.

Probably not exactly (and maybe not even approximately), because while restaurant meals are included in the CPI, the CPI is a somewhat broader index than the “McDonald’s double cheeseburger meal index” (also, McDonald's prices have regional and even store-to-store variation, and it's possible your local prices have varied differently than average for that particular item.)

Code generation only needs to generate code with n bugs where n is less than the number of bugs a human developer generates for it to have usefulness, and maybe some other factor of severity where they are generally less severe than human developers. I think it'll make neat autopilot functionality for developers but not replace the need to have someone look over and understand the code.
I have the same issue with a 2013 model. It was perfectly fine until earlier this year. Running Xcode was a bit sluggish, but otherwise it was fine. Now ever webbrowsing is slow. The OS hasn’t been upgrade in that period though, so I’m unsure what might be the cause.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. You're correct, it looks like something Czech to me too.
I posted this today in another discussion, sorry for the spamming but I think it's relevant to this one as well:

We need laws that:
1) Will force social media companies to provide, publicly, reasons for their blockings and takedowns, potentially exposing themselves to libel charges.

2) Allow individuals and organisations whose accounts have been blocked to download all their contents within a period of time after the blocking or removal happened.

3) Enforce standards so that the downloaded contents can be easily uploaded in bulk to alternative platforms.
In 68K times, the two compilers were quite different, the C++ was CFront at one point, and insanely slow. It would have taken a real masochist to compile C with a C++ compiler. I can't guarantee that nobody at Apple ever did that, but the suffixes were distinct. In that situation, IDEs usually make the distinction automatically, and it's not hard to write Makefiles to invoke the right compiler.
> not including CoL things like housing.

CPI includes both actual rents and imputed rents for home ownership. It doesn't include asset costs because it's a consumption price index, and doesn't measure additional costs to acquire non-consumption assets.
Zigbee devices can form mesh networks. That means viruses on them can form mesh networks. If, in addition to your Zigbee-only home automation gear, you've got a zigbee-enabled internet-enabled hub of some kind, you can get comand-and-control into the network from anywhere in the world. So much for proximity. I worked briefly in a SCADA-adjacent space a decade ago, and people were delivering PoCs back then.

Would the key here be that the FBI has jurisdiction to investigate rioters interacting with federal property, but not when they burn down a local Minneapolis police station or something like that?

The same Peter Schiff calling for runaway inflation in 2008-2009?

> He has that exactly right: the central dispute is between those who see depressions as the result of inadequate demand, implying that inflation will fall and that printing money does nothing unless it boosts employment, and those who see depressions as the result of maladapation of resources or something — anyway, something on the supply side — who predict that running the printing presses will lead to runaway inflation.

> How could you test those rival views? Why, how about having a huge slump, to which central banks respond with aggressive monetary expansion? And that is, of course, the test we’ve just run. And everywhere you look, inflation is low, verging on deflation.

> So we’ve just run the Schiff test — and his brand of economics, by his own criteria, loses with flying colors. And that goes for just about all anti-Keynesian doctrines: we ran as close to a clean experiment as you’re ever going to get, and the answer is no.

Several. HLA-B27 is an indicator, but you can't diagnose definitively without seeing joint deterioration on X-Ray or MRI. Typically for Ankylosing Spondylitis it's the SI joint that has the most damage, which for me is fine so far. The problems I have are more peripheral joints, and the only changes I have on X-Ray are bone spurs at the insertion point of several tendons which can result from overuse so it's hard to attribute to a rheumatological condition with any certainty.

Most recently a rheumatological told me some people are just "bone formers" which might be true, but is still frustrating to hear as it kind of came across as very hand-wavy.

No we cant, the US was never to be a democracy, and you can not engineer a better one

We are a constitutional republic with a LIMITED government, we as a society has lost respect for those constitutional limits and instead of taking principled stands to restrict government we have taken unprincipled stands based on the outcome we desire for society

Attempting to "engineer" a better society is the exact problem we have. That is Authoritarianism not liberty

Liberty is not attempting to engineer a better society or democracy, Liberty is allowing people to live their lives unmolested by government laws and regulations

> When you are making _libraries_ that lots of other projects might depend on

I think that's the key part here: most developers are writing code which will rarely or never be reused but they _learn_ by looking at shared code, and shared code which is on a different development cycle by a team nobody knows, and the field doesn't hasn't had a great history of discussing how different tradeoffs are appropriate for different projects.
It sounds to me like something that it would be basically impossible to get enough clients for that you could charge a small amount to make it worthwhile, so if you can't get a lot of clients you have to charge a large amount, but if you charge a large amount you shut even more people out that just are a little paranoid and care about the polluting data as a privacy thing, so basically at the point where your pricing could work would have to be for criminals, and then you have to have clever criminals who are organized.

on edit: wait, with proper marketing maybe great for celebrities. might need some extra services.
