It doesn't really matter whether electricity is fire or not, many of the Jewish religious rules (Halacha), are there to keep the cultural and the day to day life in a certain way (like any other religion).

Allowing electricity in Shabbat will completely change the Jewish life, and the amount of impact the community has on the individual.

There's another rule in the Halacha that says you must keep Shabbat different from any other day, that rule for example is one of the reasons you can't turn on your TV prior to Shabbat, and watch it without pressing buttons.

I think it's probably to be careful with expectations. They didn't know how well it would really work, or if they'd kill it on a landing.

NASA has been making it very clear that everything more that it does from now on is a bonus.

If you keep it framed like that, it's more exciting to have a successful mission & likely to continue to get funding, than if you set high expectations and fail.
It just seems strange for you to single out Motorola which is one of the companies with the least bloatware unstalled.

Idea on how to prevent malware on disk level?
What if there would be part of the storage that prevents overwriting/append files, so you can write once/read many but you cannot delete or append/overwrite. This could be on very low level and you would need some very high permission to change.

So, for instance if system determines after few month of usage that you are not changing some files but you are keeping them especially photos/audio/video/docs *(not in git) it would automatically move them there (folder structure would not change but underlying file location would.)

Now, what about Databases and large files that are changing constantly. I could imagine this low level storage being in read-only chunks, and chunks would need elevate (super admin) permissions in order to delete them. As main portion of DB data is historical and would not change over time, this could work.

My question is, does anything similar already exist, and if not would it be feasible?

Please do not give me answers along the lines "yes it exist it is called backup."

Gridcoin is designed for this. It is based on scientific research and instead of sha256 hashes of random data, coins are earned by proof of your computer doing scientific research.

From their homepage:

> Examples include protein structure prediction (Rosetta@home), mapping the Milky Way galaxy (Milkyway@home), and tackling problems in public health and clean energy (World Community Grid).
I have, and I find them convenient and awesome, not terrifying. Next time you use them, take a closer look at the safety features. The obvious pinch points tend to be secured with sensors that trigger an emergency stop and breakaway panels.

See for example this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgJBD1wf-YQ

In the very beginning, about one second in, you can see the static part of the floor going towards the cabin is a moveable board. Likewise, the "do not stand forward of this line" part of the cabin visible later is a flap that prevents the bottom of the cabin from squishing someone while going down.

The main risks are falling (note the gap between e.g. the entry floor board and the top of the cabin, or the floor of the cabin and the shaft wall), injuries from failed attempts to transport bulky items, and if you go through the top/bottom, there are gears that you can stick your hand into. But as long as you're not intentionally doing something stupid, there really is no reason to be terrified of them.

Now, a manlift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_manlift or man engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_engine... that's terrifying.
Slice your data and try to predict the slices with random forest, see what feature importance tells you.
e.g. instead of looking at the distributions parameters of time streams to see if they changes label them to old data and new data and see if you can predict which is which.
Or if you have missing data try to predict the rows with missing data to see if they are missing at random.

Kind of sad that both of those bridges, as well as this new bridge, are all paid access. Walking on a bridge is one of those things you just take for granted as being free, I guess, until it isn't.

Thankfully, the former world's longest pedestrian bridge, the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge in Switzerland, is totally free.

It's not like these bridges are particularly expensive, either. The former longest in Switzerland cost only 720k euros to build, and that was constructed in the Alps by a Swiss company with expensive Swiss labor (I seem to recall they have the highest minimum wage in the world.) Seems like an excellent and cheap thing to build if you're a town looking to boost tourism.
Fair point on Rails core contrib.

I was definitely wrong on that.
It's a bit more complicated than this, because Observables in both frameworks are only required to implement push-style interfaces (that's the public interface of event listeners by design), and if a consumer wishes to pull at its own rate from an arbitrary source, the only general solution is to create an infinite buffer that materializes the pusher's outputs, which is the exact performance tradeoff described in the (excellent) OP article.

http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/backpressure.htm... describes ReactiveX's approach to the problem in great detail. To quote the section that essentially reaches the same conclusion as the grandparent post pointing out how "forks" (using the same pull-style data source twice) inherently require buffering/materialization or sampling:

> When a cold Observable is multicast (when it is converted into a connectable Observable and its Connect method is called), it effectively becomes hot and for the purposes of backpressure and flow-control it should be treated as a hot Observable. Cold Observables are ideal for the reactive pull model of backpressure implemented by some implementations of ReactiveX (which is described elsewhere). Hot Observables typically do not cope well with a reactive pull model, and are better candidates for other flow control strategies, such as the use of the operators described on this page, or operators like Buffer, Sample, Debounce, or Window.

There are great visuals if you expand the RxJS examples in the link above.
Yes, for good reason: they're a poor solution to most needs, are needlessly error prone, and so they make life more difficult especially among components with heavy developer traffic. As someone who's used both, I vastly prefer the monorepo approach, even if git is kind of slow sometimes.
Sure, there is a principle called Pikuach Nefesh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikuach_nefesh) (literal translation - watching over the soul) which means that anything that endangers people's lives is more important than Shabbat. You can certainly drive to a hospital or call 911 or whatever if it's a matter of life or death or an emergency.

By the time the Chinese are done with Tesla, Elon will be leaving that country in his underwear. They will have his factory, R&D, and anything else of value. They didn't invite him there to build cars, they invited him there to get access to any know how and technology that may be useful.
So, basically the mechanism stays the same (after all, .so stands for Shared Object), but the method of using it is different, right? I like your point about system DLLs in Windows.

> Vendoring libraries isn't really different from keeping a version lock file around. You need to review and update the dependencies regularly and monitor them for security issues. Only difference is that instead of a file with the versions you have the full libraries.

In the first case, using a version lock with dynamic linking, the maintainer of the library package is the one paying attention to and shipping patches for the library. And if the version of the library you're using stops being supported, your software breaks and you have to fix it immediately.

That's the thing vendoring "makes easier" -- you're not dependent on the third party to maintain that library version. Except that now it's on you to do it, and the breakage that would have told you that the version you're still using may no longer be secure is now absent. So the developer has to pay more attention. Which they regularly do not.
I don't mean modules installed from cpan, this is specifically for things like Perl and Python modules packaged in Debian. On purpose, there is usually no way to install more than one version of those with the system package manager. Maintainers seem to be doing a fine job of keeping them up-to-date. One of the major reasons to do this is so packages that depend on those libraries actually DO get tested with updates and don't get neglected and stuck on some old buggy version.

There are a lot of reasons to prefer static linking, but to me the argument of "it means you don't need to keep your package up to date with bug and security fixes" never held up, from a distro point of view anyway.
For comparison, the Don Burnett Bicycle-Pedestrian Bridge over 280 cost just shy of $15 million, and is about 150 m long.
Holy shit. I knew about eruvin, but I didn't know there was one all the way around Manhattan! How would anybody know if a distant part of the line was down? That would put them in violation, wouldn't it?
I am an orthodox Jew who lives in an apartment building with a Sabbath elevator. I usually takes the stairs on the Sabbath, but use the elevator occasionally. While in it, I always contemplate other possible strategies the elevator could use to speed up the runtime.
All Sabbath elevators I've seen follow the route `1,2,3,...,N,1,2,...` which can take up to `2N - 1` steps (open/close cycles) in the worst case (you just miss the elevator on the ground floor and are going up to `N`).
What if they went `1,2,4,6,...,N,1,3,5,7,...,N`? Worst case is still `2N -1` but if you relax the goal to only care about getting within one floor of your target (go one away from your floor and take the stairs for the last flight) worst case drops to `N`. (Each step would take a little longer due to having to travel 2 flights, but most of the time is spent waiting for the doors anyways.)
Has anyone seen a Sabbath elevator that doesn't follow the standard route?
The public. It's ours.

A 110 foot (33.5m) long pedestrian bridge in Atlanta cost over USD$23 million. Part of the cost was to get it ready in time for the Super Bowl. Due to security concerns, it was cordoned off and no one was permitted to use it during the Super Bowl.

I am... Suspicious of all the chia articles popping up on HN. I have not seen the same kind of buzz happening in other crypto spaces about it. And I am also suspicious about the claims that chia is the one that is such a threat to data storage supply, considering there are other crypto currencies with a similar approach.

Overall, I am inclined to say that this is a submarine and HN is falling for it.

Regardless, more to the point of the article, the argument and moral panic rings hollow. Chia just incentives other people to store data for people who want to store data. The place, overhead and mechanism of data retrieval is different, but, still, someone wants to store the data there and they pay for it. So how then is this more of a threat than cloud providers for example?

Later Edit: I mistook Chia as having a similar approach as Filecoin, but, on closer inspection, it seems that they do not store data people want they just store data to prove it's stored and use that to distribute mining rewards. So I was wrong at this end. Still, I maintain my opinion this is a submarine.
>I said “You believed them when they told you it would be 14 days to flatten the curve and then you could go back to normal. You believed them when they said if people would wear masks for a couple of months that would end coronaplague. You believed them when they told you we just needed one more shutdown. Now you believe them when they say that the restrictions will end once everyone is vaccinated?”

Whoever this "they" was, who was saying that two weeks of lockdown would end the pandemic, was certainly not a medical authority. The word from authorities was always "we don't know yet," and the idea that we were lied to about the length of restrictions is just an uninformed complaint from social media. It was never a secret that this was unknown territory.

And this "they" is not the group now saying that vaccines will help curb virus spread and end the pandemic -- that's doctors and scientists, with qualifications.
This is interesting. Although I'm an atheist and have been for pretty much my entire life, I find Judaism fascination from a cultural perspective, and I have immense respect for it as a belief system.

How exactly are Jews encouraged to "rules lawyer God?" Is it literally what you said: that God gave us brains, and he expects bus to use them? Where can I find out more about this? Is there some kind of "guide to Jewish law for goyim" I can check out?
It seems to still have trouble compiling code using old-style advices. By not supporting LLVM JIT, this also brings in a lot of extra dependencies on macOS, although, not as egregious as librsvg.
Unfortunately FP jobs seem to be niche and extremely location dependent. Python and Javascript are winning the market, FP had a slight increase in interest but sadly fading, job wise anyway.

I say this as someone who didn’t know much FP 8 years ago, invested a bunch of time learning, picked up a few good jobs using it but now cannot get hired due to no FP specific work in AU and non FP roles seeing 8 years of FP get a bit weary, despite a decade of Java, Python, PHP etc before my FP roles.

ELM is a great Trojan horse into learning FP if you want to learn FP though.
I love the concept of Readme.io but I chose Sphinx over Readme.io for my startup despite starting out with Readme and really wanting it to work. A few issues:

1. Linking other pages is buggy. Sometimes Readme autocompletes the page name and sometimes it doesn't. In general, the UI feels a little buggy and that's a big issue given that it's the entire reason I'm using your product.

2. I couldn't figure out how to make my docs publically available during the trial. I still don't know if this is because actually making your docs public is a paid feature or if I couldn't find the right button.

3. I desperately needed an export to pdf and that wasn't available during the trial despite the promise on the home page that the trial includes all features.

4. My cofounder thought the price was a little high given how easily we could handle docs ourselves.

There were some things I really liked:

1. I love the way you can embed API keys in the docs based on the reader's identify.

2. The API related features also look cool, although they aren't relevant for us.

Lastly, I'm not a customer in the end but one feature that I would have paid for (at the time when I was still evaluating this) is the ability to password protect docs and allow access only to specific people you invite. (Not paid users on your own team though. Just people you invite as readers.) We're still mostly in stealth mode but we do have prospects trying out our software regularly and would like to send them a nonpublic version of the docs that they can see. (Hence my desire to export to pdf, but private docs would be better than pdf.)

Correct: as in there isn't actually sufficient evidence to make the case one way or the other, based on the data that has since been published (which means we know even less than "it isn't true").

> It doesn't say how much value each coin represents. Tether does that.

No. The market does that. I'm not sure why you think this is different than how the value of, say, a dollar represents.

> Central banks don't print money and funnel it off to politicians lol.

You misunderstand. Its not that direct. Central banks print money used to fund things like government loans (ie bonds), among other things. Member banks buy the government bonds and sells them at a profit to the central bank. The owners of those member banks in turn pocket that money and use some of it to fund the legalized corruption known as lobbying. This is not the only funnel that looks like this that comes out of the financial industry. There's a reason that Goldman Sachs "alums" trawl DC like cockroches.

So.. very much not lol. Not lol at all.

> They control the money supply by deciding how much credit should be extended and at what interest rate

I think you've missed the last 15 years where they started buying whatever they want in "open market operations". Where were you in 2008... or like the last year and a half?

You're misinformed. Show me one way that bitcoin has lead to new kinds of corruption. I would be very surprised if you could name a single thing and have some credible information about it.
One interesting consequence of Mastodon's AGPL licensing is that Gab, the right-wing twitter clone that runs a Mastodon fork, also has to disclose its source. That was how people found a vulnerability in Gab that allowed the recent "hack".
Does NASA just set very limited goals for public performance/political reasons? As most missions seem to amazingly blow past these initial expectations.

I get that NASA has some brilliant people, but I struggle to believe that the initial mission times that NASA gives are genuine estimates of what is achievable. Everything always exceeds expectations. Maybe that is just the prevailing culture as we expect everything to exceed expectations.
I think Karl is one of the players that history looks back on more kindly than the present did.
He was seen as not a winner/unable to win at the time, and a lot of fans valued that more so than at present. If you asked 10 people to choose between Malone and Pippen, it would have been 5 and 5.
First off, distributed memory has been tried (e.g. in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba_(operating_system) which is famous for its relationship with Python). It’s extremely hard to do in a performant and coherent way. It basically didn’t work.

Second off, automatically distributing computations implies automatically adding the necessary synchronization. That’s super hard/maybe impossible in general.

Third, IMO there’s value in human readable APIs for services. I think it makes systems easier to debug since you have clear boundaries and (should) have simple constraints for each service.
Pushing the button in this case is still in accordance with Judaism. There is a commandment to preserve life that takes precedence over everything else.
What does this do that Filecoin can't?
I’d certainly not trust them right out of the gate. But after several years of seeing their practices, I could have a decent expectation of what would be supported and for how long.
While correct, that is both begging the question and ignoring the evidence: the behavior of relative URLs is both standardized and controlled by the client; HTTP servers have no concept of such, and the behavior is not even HTTP-specific.
