Great yeah that sounds like something I wish I knew existed

Its been very hard to find people able to separate their emotions from an accurate description of reality even if it sounds like a different political tribe, or moreso that people are more willing to assume you are part of a political tribe if some words don't match their political tribe’s description of reality even if what was said was most accurate

I’m curious what I will see in these communities
Hand rests are only half the problem--even with a totally steady finger, it's tough to consistently find a small area on a touchscreen (and that's even ignoring the level of customization the F-35 allows) without looking at it. The author wasn't joking when he talked about inputting coordinates without looking at the control panel, and I expect it to take some massive advancements in haptics before we can do anything similar with touchscreens.
Changing NUMA per socket(NPS) config would be interesting.

The judge in this case wrote at some length about the bar Parler's argument needs to clear to make an antitrust claim, and Parler hasn't come close. To make a claim under antitrust, according to the judge who will decide this case, Parler must show (1) the existence of an agreement between Twitter and Amazon somehow regarding Parler, and (2) that the agreement was in unreasonable restraint of trade.

In reality they will be able to do neither thing, because we are all aware that Twitter is not in fact worried about Parler, and that Amazon could give 3/5ths of a flying fuck whether Twitter is worried about Parler regardless. It's a fantasy which has taken on a cloak of plausibility because we have other antitrust concerns about Amazon. But that cloak will not do Parler any good in this trial, nor will our other entirely reasonable concerns about tech consolidation.

Similarly, the judge didn't so much poke holes in Parler's contract claims so much as singlehandedly demolish them, pointing out that Parler's claim about their rights under Amazon's contract were directly contradicted by the very next paragraph after the last one they cited in their complaint.

It would be helpful if you could acknowledge the ruling we're commenting on rather than continuing to argue as if this was entirely abstract. We have some (imperfect) authority to rely on now, in the form of today's ruling.
Except for when governments pressure private companies to do those things that they can't do directly. Pretty sure there's a law against that but I can't remember the name.
It's not like we actively plotted to assassinate Assange though, we hired a Spanish firm to do that for us. We totally have the moral high ground.

I've always been interested in distributed stream processing platforms (Storm, Spark, Samza, Flink, etc) - and I've been interested in a distributed processing platform that wasn't on the JVM (there used to be one called Concord). That said, I came across differential dataflow a while ago (as I also began writing more and more Rust).

I think the biggest issue is the documentation, not so much on writing code, but on building an actual production service using it. I think most of us can now grok that you have a Kafka Stream on one end and a datastore on the other, and the quintessential map/reduce hello world is WordCount.java. That doesn't isn't clear from the differential dataflow documentation - I remember thinking how are they getting data from the outside world into this thing, then thinking maybe I don't understand this project at all.

Consider the example in the ReadMe - the hello world is "counting degrees in a graph". While it gives you an idea of how simple it is to express that compuation, it isn't interactive - it's unclear how one might change the input parameters (or if that's even possible). The hardest part of most of these frameworks is glue - but once you have that running then exploring what's possible is much easier. Differential Dataflow doesn't provide that for me right off the bat.

That said - I'm not surprised, when I last checked it out Rust Kafka drivers weren't all there and it seemed to be evolving parallel to everything else. I think what would make it more popular is a mental translation of common Spark tasks (like WordCount) to differential dataflow.
Plenty of people have posted similar or worse things on Twitter without moderation by Twitter or much shame to Twitter's upstream service providers.

Also, can you draw a direct causal line between AWS hosted Parler posts and actual violence that took place on Jan 6th?
See my sibling comment.

Snowflake actually has historically run as a multinenant service with access to say your S3 bucket, so the majority of data transfer is VM <=> S3 in the same Region (so included/free).

As a snowflake customer, you would submit queries (and data ingestion) as Egress pricing (roughly $.01/GB though assuming it was using the private link or similar) and then the smallish results come back as Ingress (which AWS charges for, we do not, but whatever).

I hope someone corrects me on the AWS side (I really thought that there was a way to do zero rating for same “AZ” third-party services), but it’s not fundamental.

That said, you’re right, F-35’s have already been delivered and represent actual capacity not hypothetical alternatives.

However, my personal experience was mostly on the R&D side of the DoD which colors my thinking about this stuff.
The article mentions they joined United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1546, who according to their website are 1.3 million strong. With those numbers they could conceivably make Instacart address the issue.

What's the basis of your statement? For data warehouse/data lake type applications, data typically goes in and aggregates come out. The point of these systems is to fish out only the data you actually need to make decisions, which is usually much smaller than the source dataset. Compute and storage therefore tend to dwarf other costs.

In that list, the less wrong posts are probably what I'd read first since they're generally short (Scott Alexander's are usually long) and you'll get a feel for the writing.

Came here to write this. Hypocrisy is not a feature politics alone, it does seem to be liberals mandate as sad as it sounds.

And if we look deeper, comparing useless CIA-funded clown with people who shed light to atrocities performed by government and military complex and paid with their own life (treatment that Assange got all those years are not even remotely humane) for it, is an incredible stretch, to put it mildly.

It seems like the quantity of the dose, location of exposure and duration of exposure can drastically change the outcome [1]. The woman who sprayed Novichok-laced perfume on herself died, but the man got it on his palms and immediately wiped it off, thereby surviving.

I didn't downvote but...

I'm skeptical that specific tools and "formalities" like requiring Docker containers will do a lot to improve the quality of scientific research. Obviously, being able to re-run an old analysis is better than not being able to do so but that wouldn't have helped (much) with this issue

The root cause here was a conceptual problem, not a library version mismatch. They used the same data to a) group data points into bins and b) test for differences between those bins. Having a perfectly-engineered, smoothly-running pipeline might have made it easier to confirm the result, but I don't think it would help detect it. The things that would have things like rewarding collaboration (more eyes make bugs shallower) instead of rewarding mostly lead authorship, time and support to carefully mull over findings instead of a helter-skelter rush to publish, and a publication culture that doesn't avoid ambiguity. Those are much harder to achieve though....
The Australian government already has that power since we have no bill of rights and no free speech
I think this is the key.

My main problem with the pro-Elastic arguments it that the crux of the argument is:

1. Elastic drives the vast majority of development for ES
2. Elastic needs revenue in order to keep paying devs to work on ES
3. AWS is competing too well with Elastic's hosted ES

And there is an underlying implication that if Elastic fails, ES development will stall almost completely and a great software project will die. But like... isn't that the point of OSS? If a software project lives and dies with a single company, what exactly is the point of it being OSS?

> "Acts of terrorism" aren't speech so as soon as they go there they go to jail.

preventing terrorism is generally considered better than just arresting people after it happened

> But that's why we need free speech, right? To avoid echo chambers.

Unless you are suggesting we ban all moderation, no echo chambers form due to selecting information sources you only agree with and information sources pandering

> Even if private censorship is allowed, that doesn't make it a good idea if it causes people to leave for some Voat-like cesspool where they won't encounter ordinary people anymore.

censorship at least gets rid of the non true believers, the reason stuff like qanon spread so quickly is because they used sites like facebook and twitter and didnt stay in cesspools like 8chan, we cant get everyone but most is better than none
> I have mostly heard this kind of feedback from non-white and LGBT friends, for what it's worth.

It seems to me that your implication is that by therapists skewing white and non-LGBT, it becomes harder for patients to open up. Either the patient has some prejudice they can't get past, or the therapist is actually entirely clueless as to the patient's lived existence. The only way around this would seem to be having more non-white and LGBT therapists.

But even with this problem, does it not still make sense to reduce the number of identity facets? The more variables there are, the harder it becomes to find a match, especially for those having a hard time as it is.
If nothing else, you'd think the DNC would have decent surveillance given the history of Republican operatives breaking in to tap their phones.
There is already a couple of them around.
Facebook and Twitter spend a cubic fuckton of money on moderation, at a scale significant enough that there are, annually, news cycles about the psychic toll Facebook moderation takes on the army of people Facebook pays to do it.

Parler hoped to do moderation on a volunteer basis.

The two services simply aren't comparable.

You can run a service like Parler on all-volunteer (or, like Gab, no-volunteer) moderation. You just can't do it on Amazon's infrastructure. Plenty of companies that aren't organizing mass shootings or insurrections manage just fine without AWS, for a variety of reasons --- some of which even include cost savings.

The constant comparisons between Facebook and Parler are talking points, and insulting to our intelligence. We know better than to buy into this stuff.

You can definitely have heterogeneous lists in typed languages. They're almost always an anti-pattern, but you can do it in a few ways.

In Java, you could have a LinkedList<Object>. You'll need to cast to do any operations on the objects; but, it's a heterogeneous list anyway, so why would you?

There could be a reason, though.

Let's say they all have the same function, then, but they're different objects. Well, for that, you could write a wrapper object that all inherit from the same class, say:

interface Clicker { public void click(); }
public class ClickerWidget implements Clicker {
Widget w;
public void click() { w.click(with_parameters); }
}

Alternatively, Go supports "use the same function" in a different way by having an interface just define a set of functions, no matter their parent class, and as long as the type has that function, it works.

yep, that's how I felt. So I went ahead and did my own ones. Because if one man can, another one too. Cheers!
The issue is less the confirmation that a thing happened and more the ability to locate the right thing to begin with. It's easy to count buttons by feel and be sure you have the right one, but almost impossible to locate an arbitrary part of a touchscreen without looking at it.
A day before a critical surgery I was told I had 50% chance of survival, being a single founder of my startup I had access to all the accounts, passwords, encrypted data (files, codes etc.) and had to find a way to transfer them to my shareholders if I die.

I settled for writing the master key in a physical file to be delivered to a trusted contact in case of my demise along with registering the fingerprint of my trusted contact to my smartphone(all of which has since been revoked). Bitwarden's Emergency Access addresses this problem in a much safer way.

I didn't think about credit card access then, but in my case I think shareholders could have legally taken over the startup and thereby getting access to all the online subscriptions; what wouldn't have been feasible was accessing the private encrypted data hence the 'need for secure key transfer after death'[1].

For very important passwords that are stored in a password manager, salting it with a memorized phrase is a good idea. That way, if someone gets access to my password manager, they still won't be able to access everything in there.

testing paths (integration/acceptance) is N^M complexity (where N is number of function calls in chain and M is the number of significant parameter variants); unit testing is M complexity. writing the unit test first ensures that you know what M is to start with, which makes it much easier to figure out what 'done' looks like
And I'm afraid it will still obey this trend.

Windows Terminal is very difficult to work with if one has astigmatism that prevents working with dark background.

I don't usually use Windows, so perhaps I didn't spend enough time on it, but I was unable to create a colourmap with white background that didn't look horrible with some software. No matter how much I changed the colours, there was always some combination that gave me light grey on white or something like that.

If anyone has a colourmap I can use, that would be really appreciated.

Because time. Options expire, shares don't. When you own shares, time is your friend — if the market goes down and you still believe your thesis holds, just wait. When you own options, time is your enemy. Should anything happen at just the wrong time, you have no choice but to take a hit.

Cloud computing is a very slippery term to pin down.

If you think about it the usage is best described tied to a an era of pay as you go services launched in the first decade of the 2000's.

There's otherwise not that much in common between Google Docs, pay-as-you go VPS/VM, Kubernetes, platforms like GCP/AWS, and Dropbox.
The law explicitly does not allow them to do that.
There has been no ruling by the court on the merits of the case. A TRO is simply a request for injunctive relief, asking the court to compel AWS to reinstate services pending litigation.

Additional briefs following the TRO, replies, nor responses have been filed.

There has been no discovery, no fact finding, no expert witnesses, no oral argument, no jury trial and no opinion. The case has not been adjudicated by the District Court. It has not reached a stage where it can be appealed to the Circuit Court and it certainly has not reached post appellate petition for cert to the Supreme Court.
It takes a careful orchestration to avoid risks of panic yet convince enough capable towards change. A good example was recently shown with sanctioning of some military-related companies, like VSMPO Avisma and Irkut. Pretty good aim; but then Avisma's sanctions were lifted. Looks like underground forces in play.
No, that would not be a decent case that your warehouse is a public forum. That's a risible argument. Hundreds of warehouses around the country are built on government funds, none of which are public property. Try telling General Dynamics they're a theme park operator and see how far that gets you.

Why are you assuming that their workload includes just one query per emitted certificate?

The reality is that they are storing information during challenges, implementing rate limiting per-account, supporting OCSP validation and a few other things.

You can investigate further if you really want to see the queries that they make against the database since their software (Boulder) is open source [1]. Most queries are in the files in the "sa" (storage authority) folder.
