Personally, I'd prefer you just create a proof of concept, put it up somewhere and simply post a Show HN. Then do your thing. Improve it. Figure out the kinks.

Maybe post the Show HN after these have gone through a few iterations? Maybe not. Sometimes its good to see the early stages.
You are absolutely right, but what other way do we have to help the ones who actually need help? Should we tax the rich who get all the benefit?
The notion that everyone is entitled to cooperative anonymity is a message board meme, not an actual norm of society. It has never been the case that journalists have honored a right to public pseudonymity. I am allergic to the argument that, because something is a norm on HN or Reddit, that norm binds on the rest of the world. HN and Reddit are in a variety of ways fucked up places that operate on principles not necessarily compatible with civil society --- nor is that HN's job!

There are comparable norms on HN that you can imagine someone trying to infect the real world with. For instance: on HN, it violates a norm to pull in things someone has said on other sites (like Twitter or Reddit) as a way of impeaching their authority in a discussion here. That norm makes sense on HN; the collaborative discussion we are having here doesn't work if people flagrantly violate it. But that's a downright dysfunctional norm to import into ordinary life, where the things people say in different places are profoundly relevant to their reputation and credibility.

In multiple very real ways, "journalism" is about doxing, the way medicine is about pharmaceuticals, or woodworking is about joinery.
I've never seen such a picture-perfect example of a scapegoat before, in all my life. It's pretty incredible to see it in action.
Whether or not your (that is Parler's) statements or Amazon's statements are correct are issues of fact to be adjudicated in the litigation.

From a practical standpoint, your opinion (and mine for that matter, which I haven't expressed for this reason) is irrelevant.

As such, it seems to me that all we can really say is that the judge's refusal to grant the TRO (given the tests[0] applied in deciding such things) while not dismissing the case outright, isn't a positive development for Parler.

Further, the judge's ruling appears to have questioned the legal basis for Parler's claims. That doesn't bode well for them either.

All that said, claiming that one side or the other is factually correct without having all the evidence seems both biased and premature.

I'll wait until the truth comes out. Because in the end, it always does.

Let's say you maintain or occasionally code several big webapps in Ruby. One uses Ruby 2.4 and Ruby-on-Rails 3.2, another uses Ruby 2.6 and Ruby-on-Rails 5.2, and the last one is bleeding edge using Ruby 3.0 and Rails 6.1

Having all versions of you language and framework installed top level is a huge pain in the ass, since they inevitably will interfere with each other. Having separate containers with all necessary dependencies in it for each app is a lot more manageable.
I don't believe this is the case.
That site is a shit show. Do you have a better source?

Python and node are probably the easiest to get setup. With Python you have venvs which do a lot of the heavy lifting required.

The issue becomes when you are on a non Linux environment for development and deploy to Linux in containers. If you build your code locally then you are debugging $DESKTOP issues which might not be the same as Linux.

Also languange environments with poor dependency management (e.g. C, C++) benefit from having an installable system.

> Even assuming they have the same version of macOS, homebrew constantly evolves so getting everyone developing with the same version of dependencies as you use in prod is super painful.

If someone is using homebrew for their development dependencies, unless they are targeting a release to homebrew, kindly ask them to stop doing this.

If there is a "spirit" to open source, it's a lot closer to "I can take software that you released and use it however I please, while also possibly releasing my changes so that you can do the same" than "Because I wrote this open source software, I am entitled to some arbitrarily defined 'fair' level of financial rewards, despite not giving my business model much thought."

No you can’t that’s the “range” if it’s sunny Southern California on flat terrain. And even that might only be 160 miles.

people regularly drive to cities which is like 300-400 miles round trip. They need to pull 1 ton in a truck. There’s snow on the road and no charging station, do you want to freeze?

I’m not saying we won’t get there, just saying right now hybrids (which I actually own) are the only real option for people outside of a metropolitan area (or if they just want to drive local, which is fine). Pacifica hybrids are great, they have 30 mile full battery power. Then switch to gas. I drive locally 90% is the time, but can still drive to the closest major city 160 miles away

From that article:

"[In Brandenburg v.

You don't need to worry, but the website is well within their rights to worry about what people are posting to their site and take action to limit that if they see fit.
That API was effectively public by design. It's the same API that anyone using the Parler mobile app would have been accessing.
I recall the reasons given as you describe. So my impression is not due to statements from Tesla.

That said, the resemblance is unmistakable. The designers could not have been unaware of the dmc-1200.

You are definitely touching on a first amendment issue here. Can I as a creative be forced to make something that supports a message I find abhorrent? The Supreme Court didn’t rule on the first amendment issue. I expect that will come up again at some point.

Depends on what you mean by frequent. At a SF software company, and I look at multiple 6-9 month stints as very big red flags that must have overwhelming evidence in the other direction to be considered. OTOH 2 - 3 years is perfectly fine; I can maybe imagine “Zurich architecture firms” viewing 2-3 years as flighty, if they are used to employees that used to be there decades.
The problems with NYP here is that their coverage is lazy and inept. That few details I added were the minimum that belonged in this story - and it was far from everything that was needed.

I'm not calling out the NYP here. Nearly every US news org is equally inept and lazy, no matter their ideology (real or perceived).

I acknowledge that not all orgs are like that. And often disappointing news outlets sometimes perform absolutely brilliant journalism (eg: Panama Papers).

But most basic reporting is just put out there, without even minimal vetting of details. We've long deserved better.
I saw a lot more than screenshots.

I saw a violent insurrection against the US government unfold on live TV, incited by Trump himself, with the goal of overthrowing the results of a fair election, armed sedition justified by disproven lies, which was planned and promoted and published in real time on Parler.

I also saw a map of the GPS data from Parler users who posted live videos and photos of themselves storming the US Capitol and murdering a police officer and attempting to murder Vice President Pence and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

So yeah, there's a lot more evidence than screen snapshots that you're conspicuously ignoring.

> Google shows links or a small snippet of news articles, a user may decide hey I want to read that and clicks the link and goes to the media outlets website to read more. This is driving traffic to media websites?

That is how it would work if Google presented simple search results, like they always have. But their snippets are different: they try to extract an answer to the users actual query. So if they’re doing their job correctly the user actually won’t visit the site, because they will have been given all they need by Google.

I’m undecided about whether this law is actually a good idea, but I can see the point. A contrived example: I want wonder “how much damage was caused by last week’s hurricane?”. A newspaper might have assigned a reporter to covering the hurricane, and they’d call up various local authorities that can estimate this kind of thing, then write an article containing that info. All salaried work that cost money. Along comes Google, grabs the relevant paragraph, and shows it on my search results page. No need for me to click, no money goes to the newspaper.
But the nytimes wasn't try to hold him him accountable. They were writing a positive piece about his blog.

The question isn't should you dox your enemies who you are trying to hold accountable. It's should organizations just default to doxing anyone online they write about even when their full name has no relevance to the story and that persons asks them not to?

Should it be illegal? No. Was the NYT a dick about it? Yes
That just means multithreaded will become more and more important. Languages like rust may gain some usage as we start to require safe multithreading.
>> IIRC, it's a pretty core journalistic principle that subjects don't get to make decisions about how their story is presented.

They have think that, because otherwise they'd be in the PR industry, not journalism.

People do have some rights to privacy, but that doesn't extend to having a right to retroactively "take back" information they've released or editorial control over true things others may want to write about you.
Journald stores a lot of metadata and it is difficult to effectively store metadata without having some kind of structured format. (And before someone says it, storing JSON on disk or trying to split the metadata across files would probably be much worse than binary logs)

I am honestly surprised we haven't seen a good GUI pop up around systemd yet that allows for simple service creation and configuration like that.
> that gives AWS the right to offer this service. Maybe they did not have right to trademarks, there are courts to settle that.

You both articulate the problem and dismiss it in the same sentence. AWS have a right to offer the service - they do not have a right to tell people that they built ES, or to say that they work hand-in-hand with ES, etc. But there is nothing that a small open source group can do without tackling the shit-ton of lawyers that Jeff Bezos can bring to bear on the problem. No matter the points of law, he can just outspend them in every capacity to get the outcome he wants.
Yeah. Maybe he could bless us with the story of who he is and what this is all about before we get into the sob story of what was done to him.
Honest question, isn't a gearless EV very very sufficient for the average use case ? I liked the idea of near no mechanical intermediate. I also read that Porsche kept a 2 gear for higher max speed. I understand the mechanical advantage in some cases but it seems quite fringe now.
There is a company called SpaceMobile backed by Rakuten that claims they can provide 4G from space without changing anything to existing devices.

I haven’t been able to find documentation on how it works but as they claim you can do 4G in the middle of the ocean, it can’t be ground stations.
That API --- their most obvious, public API --- appears to have done no authz, despite using sequential identifiers. There are private feeds on Parler. That's clownish. I don't understand why anyone would trust them going forwards.
Just last week I made a large Instacart order to Costco, and the shopper was nice enough to leave the Costco receipt in one of the bags so I could compare.

Instacart Receipt:
$340
+ $35 tip
---
$375

Costco Receipt:
$245

I cancelled my Instacart premium membership after that and will not use them again. I just can't justify a $90+ upcharge before tip. IMO Instacart took way too much cut for themselves.

I have been sticking to my local grocery who uses their own in-house shoppers. I miss some of the items I am used to from Costco but at least won't be paying 30%+ premiums.
If all you want is Apache 2.0 Elasticsearch, period, there isn't really much good news here. Amazon declared an intention to compete with Elastic NV. But the race hasn't even started yet. It remains to be seen whether Amazon's fork will keep up, whether the forks will remain compatible, whether they'll both last, long-term.

Whatever happened to that pure-AGPL fork of MongoDB?

Lastpass actually has emergency access contacts you can setup without having to share your master password.
Its worth noting that running certbot / LE twice a day doesn't actually hit the LE server twice a day. It just checks the certificate dates locally and if they have been renewed in the last month it does nothing.

I guess you still have a peak time of 00:00 UTC every day though unless people are using servers set to their local time.

The issue here is that it's quite impossible to compete with AWS if it offers even an inferior version of a service.

Because of network egress pricing.

You are most likely on AWS already. And even if elastic offers a 2x better product at 1/2 the price, your cost of traffic for an external service will easily 4x versus using AWS services. And that's really the frustration for these service providers.

You can NEVER compete. Ever. Against an equivalent service offered by AWS because the egress pricing acts as a pricing barrier.
I'm amazed at the amateur nature of the guy on that call. If he's GRU/FSB trained, why would he trust a caller ID from base, and nothing else? Surely there's better opsec than this.
Jason from Elastic here.

I want to clarify this. Building a SaaS product with Elasticsearch or Kibana on the backend is okay and not prohibited, as long the service is not “managed” Elasticsearch nor Kibana. For example, a music service that uses Elasticsearch on the backend to provide music catalog search is okay. A service that offers site search powered by Elasticsearch is okay. A log search service powered by Elasticsearch is okay (again, provided it doesn’t expose Elasticsearch functionality). We welcome applications built with Elasticsearch or Kibana in the backend, even those that would be seen as competitors, as long as they are not managed Elasticsearch nor Kibana services. The Elastic License allows this, and you can do it for free. See this [item][0] in our FAQ. If you have any doubt, reach out to elastic_license@elastic.co and we would be happy to clarify.

Disclaimer: I am on the Elasticsearch team and work for Elastic; I welcome any and all feedback.

> Amazon is outcompeting them by providing a better service to their clients.

I wouldn't necessarily say AWS' ability to use ES as a loss-leader for their Data Transfer charges is better for AWS's clients in the long-run. I can certainly see the argument for calling it exploitation.
This stuck out as an important point:
[As a] "student, I was even told never to attempt to replicate before I publish."

An actual scientist would never say this. I know about the real world, costs and pragmatism etc. No actual scientist should ever be proud to refuse any replication attempts to allow verification. Its that simple. Fundamentally that should be enough to initiate various investigation towards disciplinary proceedings. Its that serious a offence, eg a form of corruption.

Fake scientists, charlatans, "science believers", science authoritarians... sure. But who wants them around?

Admitting a mistake is actually good science.

You probably know this, but for the other readers, I'd like to note that "groupby" specifically is part of Python's standard library (in "itertools" module)

Don't forget that python is batteries included -- and you can avoid 3rd party dependencies a lot of times.
Bitcoin is actually not limited by compute power at all. Its an artificial cap on transaction rate to prevent the blockchain from expanding too large and preventing normal users from hosting the whole thing.

You can see the blockchain size was growing exponentially but then switches to linear as we hit the transaction cap and it now sits at about 350GB

Which news organizations are you thinking of? The top tier newspapers are the WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and the LA Times. It's less interesting if, like, Reason wades into the controversy about story and doesn't deliberately poke a stick in Alexander's eye. Frankly, at the point where we're batting the process story around rather than the substantive piece about Alexander, even the NYT would be unlikely to use his real name; what would be the point?
