Except humans do drink and drive. If everyone drove like school buss drivers then US would have 1/10th it’s current mother vehicle fatality rate. But, we don’t so if you’re talking about human drivers you need to look at everything people behind the wheel do from highly defensive driving to getting a BJ while doing 140mph at 2AM.

As someone not in a Tesla that’s what’s important to me.

Like the remaster of The Day of the Tentace... The original has a vaguely German Expressionist (from 1920s films) look that I like. The artists of the remaster smoothed out many of the harsh edges, apparently assuming that they were only due to technical limitations. Technical limitations, like in the old movies, influenced the style, sure... but it works the way it was initially created and ignorant "improvements" don't do it any good.

Have a look at the second image (jail), especially the lamps and the grate. They should be more angular in higher resolution, not less.
https://rebell.at/artikel/day-of-the-tentacle-bekommt-ein-re...

This kind of modernization can be done right... Jim Burton movies and Babylon Berlin borrowed from German expressionism, especially in certain scenes - often night scenes. Tentacle is somewhere in between - the artists could have taken their inspiration from looking at the Caligari (1920) - Batman (1989) - Babylon Berlin scale and some 30s cartoons.

He was very inspiring. But he broke my heart when he supported Chavez unconditionally. Even if years later he retracted support for some journalist being jailed. Too little, too late.

A meager 9% of the US population hits the recommended 2-3 cups of vegetables a day. I'm not talking about doing away with grains.

I just finished a site especially for writing handmade pages: https://codasite.app. Users get a Monaco code editor (think VS Code, but in the browser) and they write one HTML, one CSS, and one JS file. Hit "deploy", and you get a website.

It's targeted towards people learning to code, but maybe the handmade webpage crowd would like it, too. I'd love to get some traffic and feedback.

I wasn't expecting to launch today so it's still on a $5/month server. God speed, little guy.
The problem is that pricing is expected to be the opposite of what it really should be. Companies with 10k users expect a discount, but the reality is they should be paying a lot more because building a product to serve 10k users is much harder than building a product to serve 10 users.

On the flipside, why should I, as a small user, share in the cost of things like scalability, HA, SLAs, etc.? I don't need those things.

Based on what I've seen in larger businesses, those things can be paper features. It doesn't matter if the small business edition has the same scalability and HA as the enterprise edition. Large businesses will still pay for the enterprise edition because they need to be able to show they paid for HA, etc. to cover their own asses if anything every goes wrong.

Charge for scalability and reliability, not features IMO.
Incidentally, around 20 years ago I purchased a copy of Bleem! at a Fry's electronics and some games to play on it (playstation was still a current-gen console at the time). I would not have purchased nor played the games if I had not purchased the emulator. This was probably not a typical thing to do but I don't see it as a fundamental thing that existence of emulators has to hurt software sales for a current-gen console.

I also think steam has proved that the way to beat piracy is to offer a better experience than piracy offers. I get headaches playing 3d content at 30 fps, I would pay double the cost per game to run first-party nintendo games on my PC at an unlocked resolution and frame rate.
Yet plenty of countries have well functioning private healthcare. Singapore is a good example. Hell, even in Canada most primary care doctors run private clinics.
And from that era:

Courts also decided in favor of Connectix, which made a PlayStation emulator that ran games on the Mac at nearly full speed.

Mainly bringing that up because: it was kind of wild to be able to run current PlayStation games on your iMac. It was just cool.
Well, it feels like a passive publicity stunt, so far, to me.
systemd-nspawn does the same things as docker, but with much smaller attack surface and can be sandboxed very effectively by the unit files.

The isolation provided by unit files is orthogonal with running containers.

nspawn is not even running a dedicated daemon. Plus, it's no secret that docker was not designed with security in mind and its isolation is bolted on. [1]

Furthermore, systemd is already installed and running on most systems (like it or not)

Ask HN: Will GCP Give Me Issues If I Offer Google Scraper-Related Services?
I'm considering incorporating a service into my SaaS that relies on data scraped from Google obtained through a third party (I will not do any of the scraping).

Basically, it will track ad attributes over time.

I enjoy using GCP over AWS and have some data on Cloud SQL already.

Should I migrate? Will I have any issues?
The problems with GC'd languages are very exaggerated. I'm not surprised at all that this is performant in C#.
it's hard for me to see how this would be more safe. sometimes safety is best served by exceeding the speed limit. this is actually not uncommon. for example, a semi has pulled up next to me on the interstate and a turn is coming up. there is a car right behind me so I can't just hit the brakes and let the truck pull ahead. I really don't want to be right next to a semi during the turn, so I quickly accelerate past it.

I skipped what are in my experience fruitless lines of argument. I cannot decisively argue about to what extent the drugs in his system may have contributed to his death, or to what extent the defunding of Minneapolis police was "dangerous", or to what extent criminality shifts blame to the criminal in these interactions when they go wrong. Nor can he, despite his beliefs.

I also skipped arguing with what I think is correct, like that media attention distorts peoples view of things.
The post in question is full of strongly stated points, presented with minimal evidence, and in many cases irrelevant to the real argument being had. I would suspect that most people didn't respond because they recognized it as a waste of time. Not every argument is worthy of engagement.

For example:

> Floyd had high levels of drugs in his system, COVID-19, and was complaining about breathing in the car before there was a knee on him.

That makes it much more important not to use a chokehold.

> Chokeholds are also a very standard and typically non lethal form of getting a suspect under control.

This is relevant to whether Floyd's killing was an aberration; the protests were predicated on the assumption that it was not, and that police in general use unnecessary force.

> There’s no evidence of race playing a part in this incident (no evidence of motive)

As per https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/polic..., a higher proportion of unarmed black men are shot by police than unarmed white men. So whether or not THIS CASE was race-related, there is a racial aspect to the problem.

> or it even being an instance of police brutality (standard and typically safe procedures were used)

"Typically safe" is arguable; Floyd was not the first man killed by a chokehold in completely unnecessary circumstances, where there was no imminent need to subdue the person being arrested (see Eric Garner). But again, this is the problem. Pointing out that it's common looks like an argument against it, but it's really not.

> because of these complicating factors. The news media focus, social media virality, sustained legal protests, and sustained violent rioting have corrupted people’s ability to judge this situation rationally, to the point that people overestimate the number of unarmed black people killed by police by over 50x (https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/poll-44-of-liberals-say-...)

This number is based on a database that documented cases where we know that police have killed someone, we know that person was black, and the police have said the person was unarmed. The police's judgement on what constitutes "unarmed" may not be the same as that of the people polled.

That also depends what "normal" means to you.

If normal just means you get to hug your grandmother who lives an hour away it might be safe right now (in a bunch of countries) or permitted but perhaps unwise (in a lot more countries) and it's likely that for most HN readers it will become a reasonable thing to do around mid-2021.

If it means snogging random strangers at a crowded nightclub after a night of drinking that is safe in a very few places (only a handful of countries with elimination or close enough have "crowded nightclubs" in the first place, those aren't a thing on tiny Pacific islands many of which are COVID free) and legal but unwise in some parts of the world right now but it might not be a reasonable thing to do until late 2021 or after for most of us.

If it means spending a week on safari in some poor country to see exotic wildlife, that likely will not be a reasonable thing to do until at least 2022 and maybe later, it may be technically safe for you earlier, but it probably needlessly exposes the locals to a virus they have yet to receive immunisation for so you shouldn't do it.
That's alright when the negative values are way off the end of the tail, but a 20 year marriage is way more common than a 3.4 meter tall woman (same distance from the mean as a 0 meter tall woman).
A more engaging summary of the article: Google engineer proposes changes in caching algorithm based on observations from "millions of servers and clients", arguing for improved performance both on low-end (phone) and high-end (hundreds of gigabytes of ram) devices.
My point was that it shouldn't have been harder. Prosecute everything so that if one charge doesn't lead to conviction, another will. And given the money needed to catch him, the legal expense would have been justified. According to a sibling reply, the hitman was actually a scammer. Not a lawyer, but it seems like they could have easily tried him for attempted murder.
Yeah, that happens in a lot of places. Stefanini develops PC monitoring software - I interned for them while doing university in the USA. But they don't have a presence in Japan.
If you are interested in fp and like building web application uis then I suggest you start learning elm (elm-lang.org).

It's a beautifully small language , easy to learn with great error messages by the compiler. You can learn tk build
highly interactive webpages by just going through their guide.
The reason for choosing elm over scala or f sharp is that while it lacks many of the advanced features it has the essential basics of the fp world nailed down. Pure functions, function composition and currying, composing side effects.

...Well. I couldn't get past the abstract without being overcome by the realization that this person seems to have issues with the idea of informed consent and especially with concepts of personal liberty.

Part of liberty is the capacity to say no even when everyone around you thinks the answer is yes. Yes, I understand this will put me in an unpopular position in current times, and no, I'm mot an anti-vaxxer, which, speaking of which, is one of the few forms of "moral bioenhancement" we engage in.

It is not okay to do anything to anyone without their fully informed consent. No amount of public health interest justifies it, and even if that leads to that person's death, that is that person's choice. I cut allowances for children to have decisions made by caregivers, but no further. The interests of personal liberty are too important to allow to be handled in a slipshod fashion, even if we don't like what other people do with it. Especially when it seems like the best idea.
Is that Ryan Gosling? There's definitely something going on there. https://petapixel.com/2020/08/17/gigapixel-ai-accidentally-a...
However there are a lot of things in the world that we can be wrong about. A strategy of "I'm going to use deontological reasoning" just means that we have to sort right from wrong by an evolutionary process over generations, getting to kids while they are young enough to be swayed, in a process that is a bit icky and disrespectful of people's beliefs. It would be better if people could be persuaded by evidence.

I don't think that you necessarily need to sway kids while they're young. 10 years ago there were no states in the US that had legalized recreational cannabis use for adults. Today there are 17, and I expect at least another 17 over the next decade. What changed? Attitudes shifted among all age groups. It didn't seem like a process of grandparents dying out and their grandchildren entering the voting booth.

It didn't seem like an evidence based process either. I was well persuaded in the 1990s that the deleterious health effects and other negative externalities of cannabis use were no worse than those corresponding to alcohol. The historical example of Prohibition was more than enough evidence for me that fueling a black market was worse than letting adults impair themselves. I wonder why evidence didn't persuade people to change laws sooner, yet the shift happened far faster than generational replacement once it started.

If anyone reading has a convincing model for how the cannabis attitude shift happened: does it only rationalize history, or does it also predict other things likely to change in the near future? There are a lot of ways we can turn past series of events into coherent stories. There are fewer that successfully foretell what happens in the next chapter.

OK, but they don't always label bugs that way (example: systemd/#5616) and the bugs that are labeled can get pretty old (systemd/#3700). Furthermore a lot of RFEs are really just disguised bug reports (systemd/#5917 is just an RFE rephrasing of system/#3700).

In my experience, unless you can get Red Hat to care about patching a specific bug, you can rely on opened bugs to stay open.

Unfortunately, Nintendo has not made any friends within the emulation/homebrew community especially as of late(or ever), so the common consensus seems to be "we don't care, as long as you don't do illegal things on our front porch".

This is purely an observation, however these things have tradition within the Nintendo hacking community and most members of the community are very passionate about their projects - the Wii is comparatively hard to emulate, which is why Dolphin is still struggling with certain things after a long time, while Switch emulators can run a lot of games nearly perfectly after less than half a decade.
Thanks for clarifying.

I do believe that at least many moral questions have an objective/real/true answer, and maybe all well-formed ones do. (And I’m confident that at least almost all of the ones that are relevant in practice have a true answer.)

Ok, so you meant that the intent is for something which is good.

Then yes, people can have an intent for something which they think is good, and have their intent for it be because they think it is good, while they are incorrect, and in truth the thing they intend is bad.

The reason I was unsure is because I think there’s an idiom or something(?) where “good intentions” vs “ill intentions” refers to whether they intend to do what they think is beneficial to the target, vs to do something they think is against the target.

Thanks again for clarifying .
You're either transferring ownership of the copyright or not. Hopefully that's clear when they're traded otherwise neither party will have any idea if they're getting completely ripped off or not. If it's not clear then you probably aren't. Though, some countries' copyright laws allow ownership to be transferred without being explicit about it through the (imo yucky) commissioned work exception.
the main problem here is that C has the capability to declare mmap regions correctly: `volatile char[]` and Rust does not (`[Cell<u8>]` is close but not exactly right, and annoying)

most rust folks who use mmap don't mark the region as Celled, which means they risk UB in the form of incorrect behavior because the compiler assumes that the memory region is untouchable outside the single Rust program, and that's not true

(it's also not true generally b/c /dev/mem and /proc/pid/mem exist, but it's beyond Rust's scope that the OS allows intrusion like that)
I'm not sure about the OCR example, but there are information / sampling theory limits on what can be discerned in an image, based on sampling rate (pixels basically) and optics. Any extrapolation outside these limits is proveably guessing.

Edit - re OCR do you mean e.g. from a picture of a blurred license plate we could rule in or out a subset of possible numbers, depending on how blurred, like a B could be a 8 but not a L? (And sorry if your example is unrelated). This is valid, and unrelated to super resolution, you can do this analysis with Nyquist and point spread functions.
FreeBSD includes a kernel, drivers, and userland utilities under one project. If your complaint is that systemd is "bloated", it doesn't make any sense why you would want to switch to a system that's even more "bloated".
Yes, I remember that. One of my first jobs out of school was a sysadmin for various unix machines (Sun, DEC, HP, and others I've forgotten.) FlexLM was everywhere. Annoying to configure. I'd install it, and have no way to test if it was working, since I didn't actually run any of that software. I'd email some people in another group to get help testing it, and would never hear back. The joys of corporate america. I moved on pretty quick.

Why adjust the stake instead of assume a fixed 32ETH minimum stake? I think we all agree that total_cost_to_attack_usd = stake_amount * usd_per_eth, if stake_amount is fixed, then the total cost increases proportional to usd_per_eth.

I use it in a way it's used in disciplines that also work with specialty-built, or even custom-built equipment. Such as science, military and some types of engineering (e.g. aerospace). The first sentence of the linked article describes it:

"Commercial off-the-shelf or commercially available off-the-shelf[1] (COTS) products are packaged solutions[buzzword] which are then adapted to satisfy the needs of the purchasing organization, rather than the commissioning of custom-made, or bespoke, solutions."

So for example, a research team may decide to not spend money on expensive scientific cameras for monitoring experiment, and instead opt to buy an expensive - but still much cheaper - DSLR sold to photographers, or strap a couple of iPhones 15 they found in the drawer (it's the future, they're all using iPhones 17, which is two generations behind the newest one). That's using COTS equipment. COTS is typically sold to less sophisticated users, but is often useful for less sophisticated needs of more sophisticated users too. But if COTS cameras start to accrue built-in algorithms that literally fake data, it may be a while before such researchers realize they're looking at photos where most of the pixels don't correspond to observable reality, in a complicated way they didn't expect.
