I'm not familiar with how honey is produced large scale, but I can't imagine it's the same image you think of when looking at small scale beekeepers. In order to get that much volume of honey that looks and tastes the same, you're going to need giant fields of monocrops, or maybe blending a massive collection of honey together.

I do know that there a massive issue with honey fraud. Where honey is being diluted with other substances. That's where I see these lab grown producers being better. You're buying from the supplier, or at least know more about where the honey is coming from. If they can compete on price, then companies no longer need to import honey that comes from some country that let's slide some product that doesn't hold true to it's ingredient list. So for mass market products, I'd imagine we'd get higher quality product.

So while not truly "Vegan", idk how far down that rabbit hole many Vegans will be willing to go down in order to adhere to that standard. (I myself eat >90% vegan).

That's essentially what's happening here. You have something like half the keynote speakers from LibreConf last week announcing that they will no longer participate in FSF events, and a bunch of community members supporting them.

Whilst that made me chuckle, there's a lot of history behind this (very intentional) typographic style. They're called "Breguet numerals", and are much sought-after by watch collectors. I think they look gorgeous on some of these examples — https://www.italianwatchspotter.com/breguet-numerals/ — although the Omega example you gave is a slightly more contemporary interpretation of them.

The ELI5 context for those (like me) that were very confused:

Aimee Challenor is a trans (MTF) woman who was very active in UK green party politics. She appointed her father as an official in her election campaign after he had been arrested for rape and torture of a 10yo girl. For which he would subsequently be convicted and sentenced to 22 years.

Adding additional color to the narrative: Aimee Challenor is very active in the furry and infantilism communities. And her farther committed his crimes while wearing wearing baby-doll dresses and nappies.

Aimee Challenor left the green party (accusing it of transphobia) and apparently now works in some capacity for Reddit.
I think that's a fair statement, but this letter calls for the removal of all FSF board members. Is that a fair response to RMS' opinions and behavior?

This does seem to be a very short list of rejections from my perspective as a current CS student at a decent state university in the US. During applications season in the fall it's not uncommon for my peers to apply to between 20 and 100 job postings. This tracks for students seeking internships and those seeking full-time employment. This past year I applied to less jobs than I ever have and still applied to 16 postings (all of which I was reasonably qualified for, no FAANG) before landing my current internship. The year prior I applied to far, far more.
Hmm. Given that a lot of the purported benefits of honey with respect to allergies are from the pollens, eating honey grown in a lab seems... questionable.
After some research I couldn't really find much of an answer.

The thing about GC is you either don't care at all, or you don't want it at all. There's rarely a case where you know how many GC cycles you can handle in a certain period. Web dev, GC all you want. Games can handle GC but its likely you'll need to be cognitive of memory use. Embedded stuff doesn't have enough memory to utilize a GC.

I'm sure why GC languages get so much hate. I do a lot with C# and the runtime gives a few options for controlling allocations and accessing memory, so I can usually get it to be fast enough.
Jesus, can someone unravel that for me?

If you're trying to create a discussion community where the least desirable outcome is controversial discussions/flame wars, high weight on flagging seems to be a good way to do it.

Of course, people flagging it might be thinking all kinds of things like "Why would a topic about what Reddit does be important here?"

Moderation is part of HN. That's one reason why being "doomed in general" hasn't yet destroyed the site after 10+ years of "reaching scale" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

Part of what moderators do is ban accounts that break the site guidelines repeatedly, especially when they are respawns of previous accounts that broke the site guidelines repeatedly.

No. There be separate liquidity pools.

>Is there any advantage for LP to list on Uniswap 2 in terms of being "first" on a platform

There is no inherent advantage to being first. As soon as volume picks up, the other liquidity providers pile on and get their cut of it.
10 billion dollars for a software that have no clear competitive advantages other than having a community is simply obscene to me.

The older I get (I'm 39), the less I understand this tech world. Huge valuations thrown out of thin air, indecent crazy ass salaries in the valley, sales of companies in the range of ten of billions.

Of course a VPN can bypass geo-restrictions. Internet censorship is a geo-restriction. And companies who cooperate with a government can very well turn that specific kind of geo-restriction into other types. And most importantly, will the people of Myanmar understand the usage of a VPN as bypassing geo-restrictions? Most certainly, and that also is how I understand the usage of a VPN.

Also mentioned in the post that the description has been fine for a long time. The timing of an enforcement is always political.
Whether G1 or ZGC are the best choice depends on the workload and requirements, but G1 in recent JDK versions also requires virtually no tuning (if your G1 usage had flags other than maximum heap size, maybe minimum heap size, and maybe pause target, try again without them).
The legal right is not a chain concept and requires the cooperation and enforcement of your local government, and is something anyone can do at any time. And does implicitly and explicitly when they create art. But we're not talking about art when we talk about NFTs, we're talking about certificates of authenticity of art issued by whoever which have no real-world connection.

The provable scarcity is funny, each is unique so each one has a scarcity of 1, but the concept it represents can just be duplicated at will by the issuer or literally anyone else. Say you bought the beeple. Beeple didn't give up the right to sell the exact same thing to someone else, and remains perpetually able to debase your investment at their sole discretion. The scarcity argument holds zero water when compared to for instance Bitcoin, which has a hard-coded quantity. Not that, you know, exchanges can't oversell coins if they wanted to, so long as there's no systemic bank run.

Scarcity notwithstanding, the idea that you can fractionalize, insure and borrow against NFTs in an automated, trustless and decentralized way is pretty weak - to put it mildly. Since each token is unique, there's no consistent bid-ask for you to determine its worth. It's a super duper low liquidity market, and its going to get lower liquidity on a per-NFT basis the more NFTs exist.

All you know is what the last person paid, whenever they paid for it - years ago even. Just because someone at peak mania bought a beeple or whatever for $69 million dollars today doesn't mean you can borrow $10 against it a few years from now. If they tried to resell that NFT today, I can't imagine they'd get more than a few thousand already haha.

That's exactly why art is used for money laundering.

That's exactly why NFTs are used for money laundering.
Yes, something different than work-stealing on a single node. Instead of pulling work from other cores when idle, cores push the data that is attracting work to other cores. Even though shedding data that is attracting work is not the same as shedding work per se, the effect is equivalent in real systems if you can shed it with very low latency.

The last several setups I've seen worked this way. This has lower overhead and significantly less thread contention than work-stealing. The hotspot granularity was pretty coarse a decade ago -- on the order of a few seconds -- because the algorithms and techniques weren't as good and the overhead was relatively high. Modern versions have some tricks that allow them to shed load so quickly (millisecond range) and with so little overhead that it just looks really smooth to have it proactively running all the time. The system I am currently working with is designed to shed thousands of megabyte-scale data chunks per second without interfering with throughput but you typically need quite a bit less to keep things balanced.

The ideas were originally developed for large parallel clusters running workloads inherently prone to hotspotting. To your point is a more complex problem and operates at coarser time granularities, both out of necessity and because hotspots form more slowly anyway. It turns out it works even better when applied at the scale of a large server. The concept is pretty simple in the abstract, the challenge is arriving at an efficient implementation with few edge cases that also can provide strong ordering guarantees. Quite a few slightly broken but usable designs were put into production, including by myself, before people started to grok the design idioms for the single-node case.

An important point is that unlike work-stealing, you can't sprinkle this on top of a system that wasn't designed for it. Implementations lean heavily on schedule control mechanisms, which most software architectures don't provide.
Even more reasons why anti-trust action against social media monopolies and laws like the GDPR are important. You might not be able to "beat" Facebook, but at least regulation will tone down its scumminess and make it slightly more tolerable.

Those are the same thing. The CA system is a distributed X.500 database. It's the most distributed database in the world since the entries that comprise it are the certs themselves.

Moving the infrastructure to DNS wouldn't change the nature of the system, just which entities are at the root. Hell, the CA system right now delegates authority to domain registrars and the DNS system.
Does anybody use this or anything similar? If so, what problems are you solving?
I don't know why you'd make such an assumption about me, please expand.

I think in general all of my comments on this thread have been horribly misunderstood - I was just trying to say that if the company was scummy, instead of paying him the 250k fee, they probably could have sued him instead. I'm not saying that should have done, I'm not saying it would have been the right thing to do, that he deserved it.....literally nothing of the sort. Just pointing out that the company could have made an argument against him in court. As many other people pointed out to me, it would have almost certainly failed. But I don't understand how you can deduct where moral considerations are on my priority list from this?
Honestly they probably can't prevent forks. It's more of a discouragement, since as a forker you'd be subject to being sued if they can figure out who you are.
I was looking into a similar approach, but wasn’t sure how to fix it for mobile devices and things like chrome cast. Any ideas?
You're going to transport kids the same way I did it and the same way countless other kids did it since Henry Ford started mass producing the Model T, by bumming rides off of the guy/girl who has a car.

> I guess my first reaction is what would be the value proposition over alternatives like System76 and Boxx?

Does their OS work equally well on non-System76 laptops? Because a lot of people would like a different laptop but would be fine using the System76 OS, that is, if it provides the same level of experience (battery life, performance) as laptops by System76.

Our focus would be on high-end laptops in the beginning. The timeline is when you'd expect things to be turn-key moving forward. The 2 years is just a guess.
> Furthermore, do consider that some of us were programming C and C++ and found them sub-optimal. But here we would likely venture into language wars because there are a lot of programmers like myself out there who will never subscribe under the notion of "C is fine, you are just doing it wrong".

> Not sure what you mean but okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blame the carpenter, not the tools.

C or C++ isn't a real business problem domain that anyone has. Nobody's committing their budget to fix that. That's the kind of problem only held by ideologues and other unreasonable people.

My point was that people who care about fixing problems in the security domain will look to fix the biggest problems they can in the security domain. They won't look at it and say "no, I can't fix this because C/C++ is unacceptable to me."

That's someone who cares more about the tools than the problem domain. Whethor or not you think C/C++ are suitable to the problem domain of writing secure software, software will be written in C/C++ and must be secured.

Turn down work all you want though. More for the rest of us.

Stallman is voicing his opinion about things he has scarce or no direct experience in to reinforce his self-image of being smart.

These people are attacking Stallman to reinforce their self-image of being "good" and "progressive".

Both are deluded. Stallman has no influence on the topics they contend but these people unfortunately have some influence in this matter.

I guess I would suggest though that while something like Discord could be recreated by a Microsoft, the culture that grew it can't be replicated. Using Teams, it feels like a product built by committee where it's so disorienting and slow compared to Discord. They're different target markets (gamers vs businesses) but I imagine Teams by a different culture would turn out entirely differently

It depends quite a bit on what type of product or service you are selling. For us, we expected to find customers in our batch, but when we did not we learned a valuable lesson: that it was larger companies that valued our offering more.
That doesn't help. What is Sapper? This is defining web tech in terms of other web tech.

Can't crypto kill front running entirely?

Alice, wanting to transact, writes down two opposing orders, say buy 1 share of A for $10 and sell 1 share of A $10, plus a signed secret stating which order it actually is.

Other players subscribe to one of the two opposite orders.

Next thing (whatever that means in these blockchains, but after other players have subscribed to one of the two opposite orders), Alice reveals the secret using her private key. This reveals which order it was (buy or sell). Alice then makes a deal automatically with whoever subscribed to that order. The other opposite order is cancelled.
I can see my comments from another account and one of my comment that I made since then have been upvoted... so I appear to not be shadowbanned (shadow banning is another very shady practice).

Will OSI participate in any future events hosted on the MIT or Harvard campuses after these universities' complicity in helping Jeffrey Epstein avoid prosecution on federal racketeering charges for the sex-trafficking of minors was exposed by whistle-blowers?

Not sure why it would be appropriate to exclude Stallman from serving on the Board of the FSF while allowing Rafael Reif, for example, to remain president of MIT after sending a personally signed "thank-you note" to one of the most notorious alleged sex-traffickers and convicted child-rapists in US history:

While none have been doing it for 367 years -- and they can stop paying it, or change the terms, at any time so it's not quite like a bond--there are companies who have paid stock dividends continuously for long periods of time.

Wow.

sytse, there's no one else I know who's your equal in the kind of leadership you show in managing GitLab.

Thanks for letting folks like me who know next-to-nothing about building companies be a fly-on-the-wall from oceans away, watch your meetings on YouTube, go through your plans and processes, observe eng designs and discussions around them, among other valuable career-building things.

Thank you.
> which ultimately could allow us to unravel any number of established mysteries. These include the nature of the invisible dark matter that fills the universe, or the nature of the Higgs boson. It could even help theorists unify the fundamental particles and forces...

To this non-physicist, it's not clear at all how this potential discovery might do any of that. From here, it looks like a mininally consequential addendum to the standard model, almost like a single epicycle to a geocentric cosmology. The effect only shifts by a few percent the chance of some obscure and rare interaction. Is it really plausible that it could have such grand implications?
I don’t know if there’s data to back this, but I suspect that musicians might have gotten a better deal before recording technology, since music performances would have to be hyper local, so there would be multiple markets for music instead of the one (almost global) market that exists today.
If the universe "began" at t=0, and life began at, let's call it t=100, then all we need is access to t=99, not all the way back to the beginning. I'm not saying that's actually achievable, I'm just saying your argument is not persuasive.

Benefits include no scare-screen, and being able to switch off all of your personally-generated certs at once by revoking the root auth.
