> Uh, yes?

My question wasn't rhetorical. I actually do not know the history. If monarchy was indeed both socioeconomically important and a deal-breaker for founding the EU to a comparable extent as slavery in the United States, then I would think it's fair to call it a founding pillar.

> Similarly, slavery as an institution had no bearing on the socioeconomic systems of the Northern States, but it was quite essential to the Southern States.

That isn't the impression I've gotten from my admittedly non-expert reading of history, but I'm willing to be shown how I'm wrong. My impression is that the textile industry (which was intimately tied to Southern cotton production) was hugely important to the North for at least 50 years after the northern states had started restricting slavery. And from what I can tell, Pennsylvania was the first of the colonies to "abolish slavery," and that wasn't until 1780 and more importantly it didn't free existing slaves. It abolished importing slaves, and made children subsequently born to slaves indentured servants.

> By that logic, <insert atrocity committed by UN member country> is a foundational pillar of the United Nations. A totally unserious argument.

No, again, it's not about the mere existence of a phenomenon. I'm not claiming that wearing a tricorne hat was a founding pillar of the United States because it was common at the time of founding. I think I've been clear about that.
I agree that it's an unfair comparison. X1 Carbon (really, the whole X-series) is the line designed to appeal to those that want thinness and weight reduction at all costs. My T- and P-series machines are very repairable.
Also, the once famous Blizzard polish is all but reversed - Warcraft 3 Reforged speaks for itself, but also looking into World of Warcraft commentary, it has become common to expect systems present in the game at launch to require major fixes or overhauls over the coming patches. The very fact that players and commentators alike have grown to expect this speaks volumes to me about the changing perception.
Congrats. For version 6 can you please add an autocomplete input element/feature?

Cannot for now.
It was $1000 couch so possibly? I would imagine dispatching a freight shipper to pickup a couch was easily a couple hundred bucks though so I'm just surprised they never charged me again.

I got a free couch and over $200 in credit for my trouble from Amazon.
> You just hide the problem by saying that it's unjust to pay so low a wage and not allow people to do it.

We have minimum wage laws because we as a society have decided that some wages are too low to be just. "It's a volunteer position" exploits a loophole in that.

There are plenty of things like this in labor law, like mandatory breaks of a certain length after working for a certain amount of time. We recognize that the employer usually has much more negotiating power in the relationship with the employee, and try to equalize things a bit.

> You are not going to escape the fundamental fact that there are people who are out there wanting to work, but who cannot command the pay rate dictated.

Pay is only dictated by what people want or can command when demand for a certain kind of worker is higher than the supply. In this case, there appears to be more supply than demand, so the pay is determined by the perceived value the employer gets from the work. Given that this production presumably couldn't happen at all unless they filled these positions, the value of this work is greater than zero. So they should be paid for the work. The only reason they are offering zero pay is because there are people desperate for work, who will buy the (nearly-always false) representation that they'll get enough "exposure" or "experience" for it to be worthwhile.

IMO these sorts of predatory practices should be illegal, but it's really hard to do that without also making legitimate volunteer opportunities illegal as well.
Your comment was correctly downvoted and flagged because it took the thread on a generic ideological tangent and further into flamewar. This is not the correct way to respond when other comments are already doing flamewar. The correct way to respond is not to post more flamewar comments. You can do that in one of two ways: (1) post something thoughtful and substantive, that isn't generic and doesn't repeat flamewar tropes; or, (2) not post anything.

This approach I think fails to address the real problem: I do not particularly care how I've reached 1/2/3/4 command. The problem comes when command 4 has many options. When you display those in a GUI with default values it is more or less easy for even uninitiated to get a grip. Not that much with CLI or this CLUI.

Best tools with complex logic like CAD software usually combine CLI, CLUI and GUI to be ergonomic.
Yes, my test is fairly simple: your business (whatever it is) should be creating value and then capturing a fraction of that value. If that is not what you are doing, the business is parasitic in nature and should not exist.

So doesn't that make this analysis useless?

Worth noting that it's also mostly males who end up at the bottom: homeless, imprisoned, or just plain dead from non-natural causes. The only plausible explanation for that imbalance is uneven distribution of ability.

I'm far from well versed in this area but I was under the impression that renewables really suffer in this department. The lifespan of a wind turbine is about 20 years. We don't know exactly what the lifespan of a nuclear plant is but it's certainly longer than that. And of course the availability on solar and other "harvesting" type mechanisms can be inconsistent, up and down as a function of weather, etc. What am I missing?

Research shows that doing the recall is the important part. The effect is by now well accepted. Off course if you do the cards yourself you can guarantee both their quality and their relevance to you. Ive heard of research pointing that learning things that are relevant to you helps. (If you are learning Spanish to speak with a relative or friend a flash card with an obscure literary word is probably more annoying than helpful). early episodes of Learning Scientists podcast talk about using vs creating flash cards if you want to know more.
Like every other attempt I've seen to do this sort of analysis with crypto, this is comparing apples and oranges. Wallet != household or person.
>RackMountPro offers a 4U server with 102 bays, similar to the BackBlaze servers, which fully configured with 12GB drives is around $11k total and stores 1.2 PB per server. (https://www.rackmountpro.com/product.php?pid=3154)

I dare you to buy 102 12TB drives for $11k

The cheapest consumer class 12GB hdd is ~$275 a pop

That's $28k just for the drives
The mach microkernel was definitely slow, but I think you'd be surprised at how fast the L3 and L4 family of microkernels are. L4 IPC calls are some 20x faster than mach IIRC. L4Linux, which is Linux running on top of L4, is only 6-7% slower than native Linux.

Cache locality is one hell of a drug. With seL4, the entire kernel consumes ~160KiB, which easily fits in most CPU caches.

At the 1996 MacWorld there was a bin of floppies for Earthlink's dial-up service supporting the then-new World Wide Web.

They weren't prepared for the server crush. I made nine attempts to create an account, before succeeding. Each time the attempt hung in mid-session. Once I got far enough to see my preferred login was not available. In my frustration I gave that presumed stranger a referral credit.

Then I got billed for nine accounts. There were unique transaction numbers, but my credit card company didn't use them, and couldn't keep track of otherwise identical transactions.

To this day I want Earthlink to rot in hell for how they treated me throughout this conflict. They brought this on themselves. They accused me of fraud for the unintended self-referral. As Don Johnson once said in a less safe-for-work context, we all rely on the kindness of strangers.
I would agree with you, the cryptocurrency ecosystem is full of nonsense and staying away is what is probably best for most people.

Don't say "disinformation on both sides though", the heavy handed censoring of /r/bitcoin (and other forums) was open and intentional.

Anyone can go there and ask reasonable questions about why bitcoin has the transaction throughput of a 56k modem when the fee of a single transaction can pay for a hard drive that stores the entire chain. You will either get some reply that makes zero technical sense or you will get your comment deleted, shadow banned or banned. Sharp high quality people who wanted to make bitcoin better were in charge at first and it became a complete cesspool while being taken over slowly with a lot of lying in between.

I think ClickHouse is underestimated as a database for time series. Many companies using it for analytics purposes (like Cloudflare [0]), for logs processing (like Uber [1]). I'm just waiting when someone builds something outstanding for monitoring. Articles like [2] shows ClickHouse potential in this area.

Btw, ClickHouse is under Apache 2 license, which makes it much easier to use in big companies.

> but that it's not a real threat because all such exploits require special knowledge, equipment and money

In other words they (that military research lab) have the resources and you don't. Sounds like the ideal vulnerability from their perspective.

In any case, that overstates the difficulty. Plenty of examples of low budget research teams finding remote vulnerabilities in newer cars.

Also, remember that a vulnerability is laborious to find, once. After it's out every script kiddie can do it.

> physically tampering with a car

That doesn't scale. If you're after one single specific person it's done, but if you want widespread ability to cause mayhem, you'll take the remote vulnerability.
It's odd how often people put studios and publishers together, when the relations are (often) a lot less close than people on the outside realise.
To be clear, I support that this type of research is conducted. I even said "I find it mildly interesting from the scientific perspective." I am pointing out that the people who are uncomfortable with this research, are not just crazy ideologues, but actually have plenty of reason to be concerned about the consequences. If politicians use these results to justify implementing policy based on averages of groups, then these results become the basis of an unpleasant human experiment that I am not excited to be a part of.

My position is: Yes, conduct the research, but be VERY aware and VERY active in mitigating its misuse.
The money is back up by US treasury bonds. When the government wants more cash, they issue new treasury bonds in order to print out more dollars. People buy US treasury bonds as a safe investment that they can cash in 10 years later at a certain % interest based on Federal Reserve interest rate.

If you keep printing out money faster than the economy grows, the money will depreciate. If the money depreciates too much, people lose a lot more money on treasury bonds. When people stop buying US treasury bonds, the government can't spend more/pay their bills.

Amazon's entire customer service philosophy is basically will give you store credit out of good will.

For example I once couldn't figure out how to build a table right, and I hopped on the phone with their customer service department and they refund it half of the price of the table. The same thing happened where I had a monitor which 8 months after I purchased it started having problems, they just refunded half the price.

I'm pretty sure this only works for me because I spend at least $1,500 a month via Amazon, but even then it's business genius to operate like this. Many retailers would rather leave you out to dry, for example I purchased some shoes found they didn't fit and I was shocked when I simply couldn't return them. Guess I'll never go to that store again.
World of Warcraft was so far ahead of the competition that it basically killed the MMO genre. Even 15+ years later, it's not really been beaten. But players have drifted away, or just grown up and have less time for gaming.

It's kind of a shame we never got to find out what MMOs could have become if the market had remained more competitive.

I really wish people would stop dual-licensing with permissive licenses. This particular case seems pretty bad, and completely negates the whole point of releasing it under the AGPL in the first place, by having the BSL convert to Apache License in three years. Three years is no time at all, and after that it's like the AGPL never existed.

I don't agree with releasing libraries under a permissive license, but that's of course the prerogative of the author. Businesses don't need to have their GPL fears coddled, they can and need to learn how to work with copylefted software.

How far have you gotten in making it work across different shells? I'd be interested in adding something to https://www.oilshell.org/, and have been thinking about this for awhile (see sibling comment in this thread)

A big problem I came across is that any shell-agnostic solution is likely to be hard/impossible to implement in bash, which is the most popular shell :)

Since Oil already emulates bash, it was easier just to implement bash APIs and get a huge corpus of completions for free, rather than try to develop a new corpus.

It looks like Fig does things in the terminal emulator / OS and not the shell, which is interesting. Does an approach like that work on Linux?

Another problem I ran into is that GNU readline is pretty limited as far as the UI goes. Fish and other shells have a better UIs but they are coupled pretty tightly to the shell.
That presumes that there is a completely unbiased person or group that knows what the objective truth is.

What you can do is measure to some degree which direction certain publications or articles are leaning, such as left/right or establishment/anti-establishment. And whether they are more provocative, or more nuanced. That way you can be aware of biases and try to integrate information coming from different perspectives.

Hi Andy, thank you for doing this. I've been checking your Twitter feed daily to see when this is released. I love the direction of your research and am really excited to see how Orbit develops.

I've been experimenting with integrating Orbit (before this release) into some Intro to Data Science Jupyter notebooks I use to teach a class (code, text, Orbit questions). I'm hoping to publish the course on the web later this year, and, if I can get a good integration, experimenting to see if adding SRS elements helps student performance.

I haven't looked at the code base yet, but I'm curious to see if I can integrate the questions with our code execution environment, and have spaced review of executable code inline in the question/answer prompt card.
