The total amount downloaded or uploaded really isn’t the right thing to care about. They just need to manage capacity on their network on a per cell basis and then wherever they aggregate to. I think if every user in a given region was completley saturating their 100Mbit/s link all at the same time, yes they would melt. Fortunatly as they onboard new users they can monitor capacity and daily activity and make sure they cap the number of users in an area before they have capacity issues. As usage patterns change over time (and WFH becomes more prevalent due to covid) they will also have to keep up with the demands for more bandwidth.

SpaceX is similarly doing this with Starlink providing a 100MBit/s+ home internet link.
HDHPs are the reason for HSAs becoming a thing. I don't think most realize that the Amazon health plan mentioned is a pretty good deal. Most people only look at wage, failing to take into account what benefits are worth. In the US health benefits can account for a huge portion of overall compensation.
The most important problem that DBMSes are solving is how not to lose data in case of a power outage.

If your computer using non-volatile memory (NVRAM) then database is just a data structure.

The secondary problem is how to organize and manage the data, but that is highly dependent on the workloads in question.
It doesn't actually matter, you can remove that data point and you are still at mercy at who actually interact with the ad once it's published.

Oh come on, it's a loading bar, it takes one second. It's totally not comparable to calling people dumb if they have JS enabled, like you suggest.

I'm not sure why you would find a silver bullet by taking a remote sensing class? Volcanologists do this for a living, many of them will also have remote sensing experience and they haven't found a silver bullet yet even though they've been searching for several decades. That's why they're collecting data (even data from deep underground) from all kinds of sources, this is mentioned in the article too:

> Volcanologists are making substantial headway, thanks to a torrent of data from satellites that can detect subtle movements of mountains, ground-based sensors that track molten rock moving deep underground, and gas-sniffing devices that drones can carry over seething mountains. And the theoretical understanding of volcanoes has grown markedly as researchers have learnt to combine all these data into models of what is happening within volcanic systems. Researchers are now experimenting with machine learning to sift through the flood of data to identify subtle patterns, such as the early movement of Anak Krakatau months before it showed signs of waking.

Like in many other fields, AI is starting to be used to find patterns in this vast amount of data.
Other users have measured power consumption around 100W constant in operation. https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/comments/l22f1u/power_cons...

Power consumption could probably be a bit lower, but there are limits. Keep in mind that this is a phased array maintaining a relatively high bandwidth and high SNR link with the satellite. This is complicated microwave electronics design, a whole different ball game than old grandpas bragging about how they made a contact with someone across the ocean with 5W on their homebuilt HF radio. Starlink may have also made a conscious decision to make the user terminals "overpowered" so they can use a less sensitive receiver on the satellite, saving SpaceX weight, power usage, construction costs, and launch costs. The cost of more power usage is paid for by the user with an extra penny per month in their electric bill.
One bug in a shopping cart preventing checkout ruins the entire product. Bugs come in a different shapes/sizes.
Wow, thanks for raising awareness about that. I see from the linked Wikipedia article that they finally issued an apology in November 2020.
Debugging I guess? If you have more logic in your LB/routing, you may want to process all of it as usual, but skip the random selection part and talk to a specific server for a single request. Or it could be used for pull-style monitoring over the same LB as traffic (GET /stats/i-0001234). Or some weird cluster selection... like HP uses numbers in the domain, for example www8.hp.com
Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, these are just ads, not some kind of sexist job board where you put in your gender and out comes a list of eligible jobs. Just yesterday the internet was mad that people were seeing ads and it was bringing the downfall of democracy. Why are we mad they are now not seeing ads?

Given the number of features in a model as sophisticated as Facebook's must be means these researchers are almost certainly oversimplifying, and certainly the way these articles are written as if to teach readers there's an evil software engineer writing biased code. From my experience in ML it's almost certainly the opposite--most of the data scientists I've worked with are highly aware of the issues of bias in AI and actively work against it to a sophistication level never understood by journalists.
ceph-volume still relies on LVM, which brings unnecessary complexity.

We'd like to stick to ceph-disk(already unavailable in the P release) with raw block device only.
I think Starlink would give a realistic option to deploy those 4G base stations in rural areas—they need connectivity as well.
There’s a pretty crazy amount of electronics in the dish. They are likely selling it at well below cost at present.

This data is probably based on what types of ads users click or what type of posts they like or interact with. Thus if more men interact with car related items and more women with jewellery related items. Isn't the targeting working correctly? As surely your average employer prefers to hire a person that is interested in field and on other hand employee would prefer job in field they are interested in.

Maybe only solution is to fix the content consumption habits. Force everyone to only see and interact with perfectly mixed and equally distributed content that in no way take their own interest in mind.
"he's preordered one for his Suzuki Jimny, to mount on it. I wonder if Starlink are considering this use case."

It sounds like they don't support a roaming base station for now. From the FAQ: https://www.starlink.com/faq

Can I travel with Starlink, or move it to a different address?

Starlink satellites are scheduled to send internet down to all users within a designated area on the ground. This designated area is referred to as a cell.

Your Starlink is assigned to a single cell. If you move your Starlink outside of its assigned cell, a satellite will not be scheduled to serve your Starlink and you will not receive internet. This is constrained by geometry and is not arbitrary geofencing.

Sounds like some sort of authorization comes down from the satellite, and they don't want to have to push all authorizations from all satellites. Which is odd for a full duplex service. Searching around google suggests a "cell" is roughly a 4.5 mile radius circle, and you probably aren't in the center. So movement would be pretty restricted.
They don't bring the stick back either

Here's the test code:
https://pastebin.com/Ye8qecgW

The original issue I had is that under Windows sometimes Watchdog picks up the entire file as being Deleted/Added. Seems to be a race condition of some sort because adding "print" statements after picking up a change makes that less likely.

That causes the part guarded by __name__=="__main__" to be re-run under the Jurigged thread:
https://pastebin.com/p68NBxmE

Or to get the same results without the Watchdog issue I can change time.sleep(1) to some other number.

It makes sense that if you change the program top-level Jurigged will try to re-run it but at the same time it never makes sense to re-run infinite loops. I've tested changing __name__ when re-running and that works although requires a guard and I also think it might be helpful not to re-run module code that is already running as determined by the thread's call stack.

--- (edited since can't reply) ---

Good call on de-bouncing. I tested with both "notepad" and "notepad++" and get the same behavior. The Delete/Run happens within a millisecond so 0.1s filtering should work. Perhaps that would also allow you to monitor for file Delete/Add to work with editors that use atomic replacement.

With that fixed, avoiding re-executing the main loop isn't as important but I think it's worth doing for robustness. Detecting this also gives you the option of restarting the process instead.
People are “easy” to manipulate, especially when your control reaches basically every aspect of their life. Hiding/downplaying few articles here, shoving another into my face there with an opaque algorithm will achieve basically anything over a long time.

Also, you underestimate the effect of laziness. A company really has to do some atrocious thing to result in people leaving its services. Like, what would make the average person change from Gmail? He/she may not even know that 1) it is part of google which should be avoided now 2) what are alternative email providers 3) the whole change requires quite the technical know how.

It is simply naive to expect that “the market will solve it” to work in the general case. Competition only works when there are strict rules. Otherwise, the strongest/least fair player wins, and that’s why monopolies have to be broken up.

I don't know the details here but just throwing this out; activists in Sweden managed to do a lot of damage to neo-nazi groups by attacking their finances.

Apparently there were discrepancies that the tax office needed to know, and also the services used to gather tithe from their members did not want to be associated with neo-nazis.
« A bigger dish would not lower latency but may increase signal strength leading to better throughput. »

A better signal strength would probably lead to better modulations being used, therefore, less transmission and reception time, and a better latency, or am I wrong ? (at least that's the case for Wi-Fi: the better the signal strength, the lower the transmission time so the better the latency).
Yes it could of course be all kinds of things. Men could post more about pizza and women more about groceries, men could post more about Nvidia and women about Netflix. But that's not where my beef is.

This is certainly not "excluding women" because it is just as much "excluding men" for some jobs, where "excluding" means "less likely to show the ad to" (we don't even get to know how much less likely, could be ppm for all we know) and "men" and "women" are interchangeable wherefore the "women" in the headline is irrelevant, distracting and (I must assume) willfully misleading.
I think it's safe to assume there's bias in 95% of what your read online.

Aftfacts.com looks interesting. Both it and unionfacts.com present counterpoints to what a person might read on rwdsu.info or another union-owned url. There's certainly plenty of bias present on RWDSU's website.
The article doesn't discuss culpability or root cause. It simply reports a study that shows the bias still exists. Surely you'd agree that part of the solution to bias in AI is awareness of what bias exists?

I see and I understand your point but I want to say the cllasical approaches are more stable but more unsafe. By the way, there is no something that non brute-forcable today, increasing proccesing power and quantum computing allows it. I think we look some different specific fields. 'Home-made' algorithms certainly gives much more safety because people cannot attack if they dont know how it works. For example, in my algorithm I used ideas of prime numbers and also changing the order of the characters but maybe some other people use turn bytes into bcd values and than make some change for complexity. My algorithm is one of the example of trying to use some other method different than standard encryption with key.

* Operator overloading: already in Rust

* Standard library user-provided allocators: in nightly, on their way to stable

* Move constructors: not in for technical reasons and performance reasons, not for approachability

* Inheritance: not in for technical reasons combined with a lack of demonstrated need rather than just desire, not for approachability

* Certain kinds of specialization: you're hedging with "certain", but specialization is in nightly, and used in the standard library.

* SFINAE: Rust doesn't use templates, so this as a direct feature doesn't make sense. I'm not aware of any proposal to include something similar in Rust, the team has never said that this wouldn't be in for approachability

I don't think your thesis is accurate, so I don't think so. And if this is so obvious, as you claim, then you should be able to provide examples!
TeX is limited to 127(?) characters, there are several font encoding schemes, none of which are suitable for Chinese.

XeTeX and LuaTeX use Unicode, and thus could render the Chinese name as text. But they are extensions of TeX, not TeX proper, which is what Knuth himself uses.

No one's saying we didn't send artefacts to the moon ...

{Actually, done prior probably say the moon doesn't even exist, but I think this makes the point - there's a plausible reason for a reflector being there that doesn't require a manned moon-landing.

Just saying that for the sake of argument.

Though I did see a program as a teenager that presented some convincing 'evidence' that NASA/USA Government were lying to the public. Then it comes down to whether you trust the USAG who you know have lied access manipulated public perceptions on a grand scale, or trust random program makers who you don't yet know to be liars.}
> Given the amount of anti-asian racism/crime/murder we've seen spiking in the last year, I think the publications' stances (and the more mainstream media) to lean heavily towards option one is understandable

So we start with one marginal conspiracy theory 4, add some lies trying to silence very likely theory 2, and as a result get even more people believing in global conspiracy to create and use the virus, who think the lies are the best proof for their theory.

Any lies are bound to backfire, and there is nothing understandable in supporting dishonesty. The Iraq war buildup is not comparable here in any way as it was a misinformation campaign started by government, not an attempt to find the truth.

That quote is about low voltage technology. Edison’s design changed dramatically over time, his early bulbs used a carbon filament just like the quoted example. Tungsten bulbs invented by Franjo Hanaman in 1904 where a significant improvement on that design and he’s arguably the actual inventor of modern incandescent lightbulbs.

Similarly, the gasses uses inside bulbs and the filament design all changed significantly over time.

PS: Arc lamps like florescent bulbs are “high voltage, low current design” however all early incandescent bulbs where low voltage. Edison improved the design of low voltage bulbs, but he hardly invented the idea.
Maybe the value added that PMC provides is protection from other lawsuits? Basically you pay them and now you have protection from other similar companies trying to sue you. Sounds like classic protection racket that the mob is known for.
> And a need to travel distances.

Specifically short distances that aren't already covered by walking, horses, or walking with a hand wagon. Yes bicycles could have been better suited but with the condition of roads it would have been incremental, not dramatic except for specific use cases. Maybe a specific company/industry could have benefited greatly/sooner than others like how the elevator came to be.
Not sure about TeX but would be surprised if there were issues with Chinese characters in LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX. It's very uncommon to write in plain TeX today, Knuth is an exception.
>Lesson 3: XFS+Ceph never really worked out. BlueStore solved so many problems by just removing the XFS dependency for the actual data. Recommended reading: https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/PDL-FTP/Storage/ceph-exp-sosp19.pdf

This gave me a concern. My kube nodes do use XFS in some cases but Ceph uses raw block devices. So XFS is only used for system files, not for Ceph. Except of course to store Ceph config on each node.

So I assume I'm safe. I'm not entirely sure how you'd use XFS with Ceph because Ceph uses a raw device file and formats it for its own storage.
The whole concept of a two-wheel vehicle with no inherent balancing mechanism is very unintuitive (at least to my mind).
> I simply don't understand why people use hardware RAID controllers. Anything above JBOD is asking for disaster.

1) inertia 2) simpler way to get up and running for people who are not skilled in CLI or other SW RAID tools (HW RAID controllers have nice BIOS setup) 3) HW RAID BIOS setup always boots and is accessible even if OS can't boot 4) HW RAID stays the same for decades so SW updates are less likely to screw something
But then what's the point of using 'AI' at all if people are just gonna ignore what it comes up with?

I admit it's a little naive but here's a metaphor that works for me.

Imagine you have access to an "AI" that's the best route finder in the world. It finds the best possible route between any two places you wish to go.

However, you have a fear of going through a certain neighborhood (maybe you grew up there and have bad memories) or maybe a family member died in a crash on the freeway once and now you only stick to regular streets.

The AI is so good that you can communicate these psychological and messy human preferences to the AI and it re-routes as appropriate. Is this a better or worse outcome and does providing these provisos make the AI pointless?

There is an interview question that is : “If you could add a President to Mt. Rushmore, who would it be?” The correct answer is Ronald Reagan. Not for any reason, other than that if you don’t say Reagan, than you’re not “one of us”. In 1997, I think people could reasonably say that “Reagonomics” was working, and this sort of litmus test likely would add credibility to a person’s rationality.

In 2021, it’s obvious that the combination of The Southern Strategy, The Moral Majority, and Gingrichian Hyper-Partisanship have endangered The Great Experiment to the brink of disaster. Reagonimics, today, stands for the destruction of main-street, the outsourcing of American jobs and prosperity, the heightening of capitalism-fueled inequality, the death of The American Dream for millions of Americans, and the near complete disillusionment of The Millennial Generation having been born while Reagan was in office and the first American generation to be financially worse off than their parents since these things have been measured.

Today, that litmus test is not a sign of rational thinking and grounded values. Today, it is an American flag being used to beat a federal police officer. It is a gun being used in a mass shooting and synagogue. It is a New York slumlord and Reality TV actor trying to become God-King and his throngs of loyal followers decrying reality itself in order to... well, the end never was clear.

I would like to think that I am morally innocent, that I do the right thing as often as possible. But, God save me from the morality of the future. I think that it’s hard to look at an article written a quarter of a century ago and project today’s sensibilities onto it. Though anyone interpreting these works today absolutely should see and understand the failures of their belief systems, especially when so clearly stated.

Advertising is, in a sense, lying. The question of advertisers has always been, how do I engage a person with my product in a way that seems natural to him/her, i.e. so that he/she doesn't see the lie. Necessities don't need advertising. Therefore, in a sense, everything advertised is based on desire rather than need and, as such, requires targeting what the consumer already desires in some way.

In re this article: preferences based on gender are encouraged by a society of individuals who want to excuse their desire as worthy. AI only picks up on what already exists and therefore the root of the problem is much deeper than Facebook can remedy by a simple patch.

Smaller class sizes probably make a big difference too. The average class size at Harvard is 12. Average US kindergarten class is 21. So kids at Harvard can get a lot of tailored individual instruction. It's much easier for a prof to track 12 students than 200.
