I really enjoyed having Android Auto in my Chevy Bolt. It's just letting my phone display stuff on my screen, but not running Android. I could run Maps, play spotify as a I drive, and if I had root on my phone I could also play youtube videos for my kids :)

I have to wonder, is having Android in my car going to lead to a situation where I'm stuck with some old, insecure version of Android, just like my shitty Verizon phone which they never bothered to upgrade from Oreo? Because if that's the case, no thank you.
I personally doubt we need zoonotic diseases to calibrate a healthy immune response. I also believe the close association of people and animals was more salient to European populations than elsewhere, and furthermore we didn’t evolve in an environment where you could expose or be exposed to thousands of people on a regular basis. So I’m not sure I’m convinced by an anthropological argument here.

And IIRC, the hygiene hypothesis mostly has to do with autoimmune diseases and our immune systems not learning how to differentiate between serious threats and harmless exposure.
Perhaps this comment is dangerous and problematic.

The idea that your ISP should be monitoring the semantic content of their customers is disturbing, and you imply that they should do something about content that, what?, they don't like? That they think is illegal? That the government tells them to report on?

This is constantly recurring debate on HN. What is the appropriate level of censorship? Who should be censoring? By what criteria is something censorable?

I emphatically disagree with the notion that ISPs should do the censoring. They should be neutral carriers of data.

Did you consider doing a KickStarter (or similar) for TinyPilot?

I did at the beginning. I was considering ditching the Raspberry Pi and building my own custom board using the Raspberry Pi Compute Module. I expected that to be $20-40k, so I thought it might be a good match for Kickstarter.

But the more I went, the more I felt like it was better to keep making progress incrementally. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm a software guy primarily or hardware is inherently slower and harder, but changing tiny details about the manufacturing process is always really hard. There are so many people involved, and I almost always fail to anticipate some consequence of the change. The Pi is my most significant component, so changing it would be a huge jump.

I focused instead on things that let me keep the core Raspberry Pi system and OS and then change things on top of that like the video capture chip and creating a custom 3D-printed case.
> messes with the valuation by inflating the supply

If a casino allows you to make play as long as you want, i.e. unlimited bets, does that de-value the bet?

If the shorted stock doesn't go down, people need to pony up the difference to buy it back; it is that capital risk that represents the "skin in the game", and why shorts aren't really unlimited, any less than an insurance company is limited in how much insurance it sells, by the capitol it holds to pay out on claims.
There's a bunch of coins (largest being etherium) using a proof of work mechanism which is optimised for GPUs and can't really be more efficiently implemented by an ASIC (rough reason being it's limited by memory bandwidth, not hashing speed, and GPUs are basically already super optimised for memory bandwidth). This was a deliberate choice by the designers of the cryptocurrency because ASICs centralise mining even further.

Only real reason to mention bitcoin is that basically all cryptocurrencies go up and down in price with bitcoin, so when bitcoin goes up in price, other cryptocurrencies tend to do so as well, incentivising mining all of them.
The comparison seems fair .. in the sense that property tax serves to cover the cost to society of the property existing, just as "IP tax" would be to cover the cost to society of protecting the "IP". Looks like such a tax would also separate the concern of protection, from the concern of exploitation of the IP. But I can't imagine how one would tax created IP .. at least in property, there is some sense of "market value", which is anybody's guess when it comes to IP.

edit: Maybe IP can be assigned "shares" in wealth injected into the market?
India has a far lower per capita incidence than most Western countries, even a place like Germany for example. And anybody who has been to India won't classify its culture as rule-following.
Used makes sense for getting a feeling for pure performance (smaller the better as its likely to be in memory).

Available makes sense for knowing when things will just plain break (reaching 0 = write failure for a DB).

>Every few months we get an alert from our database monitoring to warn us that we are about to run out of space.

In this case they were avoiding their DB server breaking. They didn't do this for performance reasons.

I'm sorry, but you just conceded the whole discussion (turns out: it was definitely clearing collateral calls!) but then moved the goalposts to a conspiracy in which the clearinghouses were protecting the shorts.
If you scan WSB, you'll find a seemingly never-ending string of posts saying, essentially, "don't be distracted by silver, stick with $gme," and yet article after article after article suggests that WSB is focusing on silver now.

I don't know what the source of "WSB is focusing on silver now" is, but it is clearly not actual WSB posts.

I think that is the hardest question, what to optimize for. Jason mentions that facebook employs social scientists who help set what the value is they are optimizing for.

> I don’t work on the social science part of it. We try to optimize and we do it on good faith that the goals we’re optimizing for are good faith goals. But I’ve been in enough of the meetings to see the intent is really a good intent. It’s just a thing that’s very difficult to quantify.

> But I do think that the intent is to provide that value. And I do think that they would trade some of the margin for the value in a heartbeat.

I often wonder what an open source OS designed to fulfill the role of mainframes would actually look like.

I'm going to describe this really badly, but I see things like Excel and HyperCard, and I really wonder what something acting more like a mainframe with the input sensibilities of user oriented programs like Excel / HyperCard would look like. Maybe I played with Orchestrations in BizTalk a bit too much and really wonder.

Dumping and reloading databases used to be mandatory for major postgresql updates, which is one of the reasons postgresql wasn't suitable for production workloads until recently and also why it resisted fixing bugs in vacuum, index, and compaction for many years.

Frontend/Fullstack Engineer. If you have any bugs on your plate that you've wanted fixed for a while, I'm your person.
I feel like I'm missing why this article was written.

It requires more conscious interpretation to speak via the Internet compared to in person. The Internet is a weird museum filled with stuff to interpret.

Ok, seems true, but it's not really a new point. Does it make more sense if I read the other posts? Was there another section at the bottom I missed due to their mobile UI (happens all the time)?
Use RPi for NAS is really a stretch. Just buy those low-power x86 mini-itx boards with 4GB memory and 4 SATA ports along with gigabit ethernet, they're around $150?

Note the smaller size of RPi-etc makes no sense when you're going to host 4 hard drives anyways which takes quite some space on their own, and you need a decent PSU for the drives too, and a solid case as well, etc.

Just buy those ASRock mini-itx boards at newsegg or somewhere and let RPi do what it's best at.
Thanks for reading, Shawn! I'm hoping I can make next year's update exciting.
No idea Disney was that disorganized. Read Chuck Jones's autobiography. They were under almost military discipline at Warner.

Of course it is. This plagues every single device that runs Android. And Ford already has an awful track record of inflicting infotainment software horrors on their customers.
TravelJoy | Engineer #4 | Full-stack / Generalist | Remote within USA | Full-time

TravelJoy is the market network for the leisure travel industry. Our mission is to bring the joy back into travel planning. We've built a product that thousands of travel agents absolutely love and depend on every day.

Why join us?

Anything has got to be better then the Microsoft Infotainment system in my old Ford.

To be honest though, I wish all of these addons would stop. I don't think they improve anything related to driving, but infact make it worse by cramming all kinds of important interfaces behind a touch-screen.
> being liked by your coworkers (including your boss) is 10X more important than the amount of output you produce

Is this really true? I can think of people I like very well as a person, but they are extremely unproductive and I would not want to have them on a project with me. On the flip side, there are people that I would not say I am friends with (not enemies either, just neutral interactions) who do an excellent job at getting work done and who I have given very positive peer feedback to.

I always hope that things like promotions aren’t popularity contests, but I never can tell for sure how much that’s the case, particularly at higher levels of management...
ASICs are not that easy to come by and they cost a lot. Newcomers to mining use whatever they can get their hands on.
But there was a BTC halvening in May 2020 roughly doubling the amount of computing power required to mine same amount of coin. But I am not an expert on the mining economy so I have no idea if GPU mining is still a lucrative business.

Here's what I want, but haven't been able to find:

I already have a beefy server at home ( it's actually a refurbished enterprise workstation, with 24 cores, but read on ).

However it lacks drives. What I ideally want is a a dumb drive bay I could buy, and then connect ( somehow ) to my existing server, so I could use its CPU and RAM.

I don't want this drive bay to have its own CPU, I just want it to hold data and transfer it over some wire. Ideally I would achieve close to gigabit speeds requesting data off of this server/drive bay.

Some options I've explored are those dumb quad storage bays that connect over USB-3. But I was worried about running ZFS over a USB interface, as well as potentially parallel read and writes with the quality of the USB controller.

Apologies, I misinterpreted your concern to be a matter of losing the entirety of Nix's atomic features entirely rather than concern over even limited escapes from its Nix's scope. In this case it does sound like Bedrock's trade-offs won't be worthwhile for you even in the hypothetical future where it plays nicely with NixOS but retains the non-atomic nature of components from other distros.
from Plaid to Robinhood. Wow, really disappointing to see Andreesen involved.

I don't think the outrage is going to stop at wall street now.
I recently picked up two 36 bay sata super micro 4Us on ebay for ~$600 each.

>Have you heard of any coronavirus variants coming out of South Korea, China, or New Zealand? No. That’s because they don’t have uncontrolled spread there, which leads to mutations due to the virus’s exposure to heterogenous immunity in the population.

That's one hypothesis.

Don't particular populations already have a degree of natural herd immunity to viruses which are commonly found in their proximity, compared to populations on the other side of the world who do not?

Like how Europeans brought their diseases, which they had built up immunity against, to the Americas which then decimated the indigenous populations.

Could we hypothesize that many Asians have a stronger natural immunity to covid19?
Indeed. Things that make life worth living and, when they lack for too long, you start to ask, after all, what is the point of all that hard work.
I think you're right in that this narrative that silver has become "the latest target for a brigade of day-traders on Reddit" is disinformation. While there were a few posts in the past days promoting silver as the next memestock (the article links to https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l71rdv/silv...), a quick glance at https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets confirms that the prevailing sentiment of that subreddit is that silver is a coordinated distraction.

Speaking of information, Wikipedia rates the New York Post as "generally unreliable for factual reporting especially with regard to politics, particularly New York City politics. A tabloid newspaper, editors criticise its lack of concern for fact-checking or corrections, including a number of examples of outright fabrication." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Per...
When the average 36 year old American overestimates their chance of dying from covid by 1000x and any comment that goes against the “be scared” narrative.... when I get called “dangerous” for posting public data from state covid dashboards because my post shows this isn’t that bad, relatively speaking.... a lot of people are gonna have some serious long term mental trauma.

It seriously feels like people want to this to be the worst thing ever.

You do what Slack did and call the maker of the AWS Knob:tm:.
They support index-only scans now, so there is some sort of optimization which bypasses the table lookup, at least in certain cases.
Again, you are living in a textbook. See the real-world effects of short selling on TSLA, and all the irrational investors that made bank on the same.

If irrational investors are being driven out why is there an evident trend of increasingly irrational stock prices over time?

Immunity plus uncontrolled spread necessarily exposes the virus to selective pressures to mutate resistance to those immunities.
Of course the alternative is that you get the same shitty version of the Ford infotainment software that is never updated from the day you buy your car. So there at least things are actually improving in that respect.

But really the model of just running everything from your phone is probably the best approach.
Doubt it...Tesla has made OTA updates a new baseline/table-stakes for the industry, I would expect everyone to follow suit eventually.

Have to wonder if this "partnership" will also result in Waymo tech ending up in Ford vehicles...
