True. Force can get pretty expensive and difficult to scale, so in practice I'm glad we outsourced it to the state (which is itself a construct).

It's turtles (collective beliefs) all the way down. In my opinion if society breaks down enough, there are no secure assets besides tools of force and goodwill.
Unfortunately, it already is. See the looting =reparations that was common on social media during the blm riots. Similarly, the "fuck the corporations, it's just property" crowd that was really prevalent on reddit then. Those are both solidly left, just as qanon is solidly right.

I wrote a proof-of-concept tool, inspired by puppet more than anything, but since it runs locally it is perhaps comparable to ansible too:

https://github.com/skx/marionette/

It turns out that three operations suffice for almost 90% of my needs:

* Populate a file, from a template with variable expansion.

* Run a shell-command.

* Install a package.

I added support for pulling a docker container too, just for fun. Although I never made the effort to pimp/promote it, the tool is stable and useful as-is.
"Toxic boys club" sums up a lot of the historical problems, but a quick Google of "riot games culture problems" will give you literally dozens of articles to read.

I have work with a few ex rioters and have interviewed a few (at the time) current ones, and have heard personal confirmation of many of these problems. It's a big company though, so some departments are better or worse in this respect.

But yeah, it's not really a great place to emulate if you're trying to build a healthy culture, at least IMO.
Well, can you blame them? :)

> Also Sacramento has good schools

There are a number of factors that make the school system so outstanding:

1: The best schools are the public schools. There are some perfectly fine private schools, but the public schools (at least in SJUSD) are even better.

2: There are excellent magnet programs at the elementary, middle, and high school level. These programs do not exist in some other areas, including in Silicon Valley (this has come as an unwelcome surprise to my family). The schools in Sacramento regularly send their kids to national rounds of science competitions, and when I was a student (20 years ago) they regularly placed in the top 5 nationally.

3: Students from throughout the region can 'open-enroll' into magnet programs, regardless of geography. In my high school, we had students who came from 45 minutes away.

So the upshot is there are great schools that are free and that are available to any student (especially the advanced programs).
From what I'm seeing, everything I'm active in is moving (including my own channels) -- the old ones aren't being shut down yet, mostly because people want to give libera.chat a few days first to make sure it doesn't suffer major hiccups. But the new ones are going to be the permanent ones, I expect. (That's certainly our plan.)
"complete lack of real social safety net."

What are you talking about? San Francisco has one of the most comprehensive, robust, and we'll funded social safety nets in america, and probably on par with some Scandinavian countries. The amount of resources spent per homeless and crime-commiting citizen is world class. What do you think is missing in terms of social safety net?
SELinux is pretty inflexible and incompatible with multi-user systems that deploy stuff without privileges - it assumes you can have global policy that applies to everything, which doesn't work well with containers, or browsers, or even just running things out of your home directory.

Hence, kernel devs would like to increase adoption of something that's a little better designed - not SELinux.

I agree that a manual option should have always been available. I'm just being pedantic: the context here is a "saliency algorithm." In the context of computer vision, the term saliency has a specific meaning. It's about visual perception of images, which doesn't generally include understanding letters, words, sentences, or humor.

The part I don't get is there was the same drama when freenode was founded...

The org structure (wasn't it a non-profit at one point?), the donation drives, etc. There was a lot of "much larger irc networks don't need all this", "its a cash grab", etc.

Now, it seems to have fallen victim to the very issues the organization was supposed to prevent ?

Large loads (compressors, pumps) usually consume a share of the gas they transport because gas is so much lower cost than electricity. I wasn't aware that any facilities have a large enough electrical load to become part of the voluntary load shedding program.

I support the majority of right to repair principles but I find Rossman himself to be a person whose personality has suffered from its ever-increasing exposure to YouTube celebrity.

I certainly don't blame him. I know my own mind and I'm certain I wouldn't fare any better in his situation. I think most people would be unprepared for the psychology of becoming Internet-famous, of having their opinion continually validated by a hungry audience.

In fact it's genuinely fascinating to me when occasionally you see an individual who remains seemingly unaffected by celebrity, psychologically unaffected by their thought-leader status in a large community. I'd actually pick Linus Sebastian—of all people—as be a canonical example of this. Whether it's sincere or incredible acting skills, the stratospheric growth of his channel hasn't made him any more insufferable.

The few people who can nagivate this perfectly truly shine in the world of YouTube. (The Slow Mo Guys is another example. And weirdly, I'd have to give a nod to Project Farm as well, for content that seems entirely unaffected by channel success.)

A lot of my favourite creators fall somewhere between these extremes. (e.g. Technology Connections, Mark Rober, savagegeese, Engineering Explained.) Not unscathed by their popularity, but seem to be able to cope with the mindfuck thus far.
Nobody is trying to assign blame to the person who wrote the algorithm, it's just being pointed out that the the output it produces is sub optimal in this specific way.

You’re comparing SF, a major city, to Lafayette, a suburb. That is objectively a ridiculous comparison. You will see similar disparities in most comparisons of that nature.

Your only SF specific crime stat is about property crime (shoplifting). Consistent with what I wrote.

Your second stat on murders is regional, not specific to SF, which overall remains near all time lows in violent crime. You then blame the regional Bay Area rise on SF’s district attorney which makes no sense.

This is all consistent with what I’m saying: the “safety” claims are not supported by data. Some folks in the tech community just keep saying it over and over within a specific sphere but I’m calling B.S. SF is safer than it’s been for most of our lives.
Makes sense. I want insights and context. If Google can do that synthesis that’s great. I do wonder about the training data and data quality though.

How much of it is Google getting worse and how much of it is garbage websites hyperoptimizing for SEO?

Those are the same thing. If garbage websites can game their way up the search listing then Google is failing.

This is a simple problem of competition. Google doesn't have any, so they don't need to provide a good product. They can optimize for ad placement and revenue instead of search quality because users perceive that they have no real choice but to use Google. If another search engine manages to get some real market share Google results will get much better again.
In case you're not in the mood to scroll through a dozen pages of biography to get to anything related to the title, here's the relevant part:

In fact, a very good puller could only rarely manage to incorporate every drop of melted silicon from the crucible into the grown crystal. Anderson did exactly this on June 20, 1968: “I got every bit of melt out of it, which you don’t normally. It doesn’t normally happen because you can’t see the bottom of the crystal as you’re tapering off.” It was a remarkable enough occurrence that she kept the fully emptied crucible, emblazoning it with “Pat’s Glory,” and the date.

I was mostly thinking about the amount of weight that the Zhurong style lander would be able to land vs the Curiosity/Perseverance skycrane style of lander used by NASA. It's quite complex but it seems like it allows more of the mass to be in the rover vs the rover just because the Zhurong lander needs to carry the weight of the rover on top of it where the skycrane doesn't.
Seeing these patterns preceded by blind spots is horrifying, because you then know that pure hell awaits you.
strcpy and friends don't check for a null byte in the destination to find the end of the buffer, that wouldn't work very well because often you want to copy into a buffer that has been initialized as all zeros. Or copy a new string into a buffer that already has a shorter string, etc.
I have an example from just yesterday. I am new(ish) to the rails ecosystem and spotted a `.ruby-version` file in the root of the repository. I didn't know what it was so I googled `.ruby-version`. The results were less than helpful because Google interpreted that as a search for the term `ruby version`. Fine, whatever, I will just fall back on double-quoting the whole thing, like `".ruby-version"`. A couple of years ago this would have worked perfectly - I know, because I've been doing it for years. But Google no longer respects this kind of search query, instead it tries to be too clever by half and end up being worse than useless.
The link isn't working because of the slash at the very end -- not sure if that may have been autocorrected in.
Casting Skype to a TV is not the only possibility Right now with off the shelf hardware one could make a great video-call station. 4k screen, 4k camera, high-quality mics and speakers. But approximately nobody does it because laptops and iPads and phones are generally good enough for them.

That to me demonstrates that, contra your initial assertion, there isn't a big market for this.

As to the last part, you've gone from "I will get it" no questions asked to what sounds like "I will get it if it checks out". But that's a big jump. You've gone from an early adopter to a mainstream purchaser. From one of those people that buys things on Kickstarter to the much, much larger group who want to see proof of value before they buy.

I think that's very reasonable, but it's exactly the kind of reasonable behavior that has killed 3D over and over in the past. By definition novelty doesn't last, so by the time mainstream purchasers might be ready, the social proof just isn't there.

> Pomp's Bitcoin Pizza cannot be paid for in Bitcoin

...which got him a lot of press and attention, far more than had he accepted Bitcoin. That's kinda boring these days.

The idea that nobody spends an appreciating asset is silly. I have BTC, and I need to buy things. One way or another I need to spend my wealth. How exactly I chose to do that comes down to things like convenience, privacy, conversion costs, etc. Quite often, yes, BTC won't be the most convenient or cheapest way to buy things! But sometimes it is, and when it is, my decision to spend my wealth isn't impacted by whether or not the asset I happen to use is appreciating.

It makes sense for me to spend BTC more than most people, because I'm often paid in BTC by foreign clients. So I tend to have an excess of it. But if I were, say, buying porn on a site like ManyVids, or refilling a burner phone's credit via Bitrefill, regardless of whether or not I had excess BTC I'd much rather get the privacy benefit of paying with a BTC/BTC Lightning wallet than giving my name and address with a credit card. And yes, both those sites do in fact do Lightning payments; I won't admit whether or not I've checked that myself. :)
Whether I answer this question correctly or not will have significant financial consequences for me, so I'm trying to be as fair and balanced as possible.
I think "the RH crowd" does care, but they don't have the time or resources to learn. A bit surprised I'm saying this but, people generally care about their money. If they knew for example how easy it is to transfer out of RH and also that RH could liquidate your holdings to save their asses (which they can do), I don't think they would use Robinhood. Just because people don't have access to some information that informs your value judgments doesn't mean they don't care (or for that matter that all of our value judgments have to line up with one another).
It's Texas. We'll successfully blame regulation for the problem, deregulate even harder for good measure, and burn down the windmills so this never happens again.
Resuscitation of Hamsters after Supercooling (2012)
What are you talking about? What their world country are you from wheres shitting on the street is legal? I'm fairly certain that public defecation is illegal everywhere, and probably gets you on a sex offender list in a lot of states.

The reason public bathrooms were eliminated is because they become dens for heroin use. Always fun going to the bathroom with your kids to find druggies rolling on the floor with heroin needles scattered about. How do you maintain a bathroom with homeless people injecting heroin? You need police for that, not simple bathroom cleaners. I'm ultra leftist, but this degeneracy of enabling drug addiction and encouraging crime and homelessness only serves to produce more crime, more homelessness, and more suffering.

Well, electronics-oriented owners have built “next” systems even back in the '80s (and '90s) (and '00s): overclocked (non video signal related parts), added memory (in a dozen of more or less incompatible ways), added expansion boards with a lot more powerful hardware, etc. Usually, the more someone was into it, the more unique their configuration was. So it continues to this day.

I'm curious whether it would be okay to optionally support other toolchains. For example, if openbsd works when built with GCC 4.x but also can build with GCC 10.x, it remains "safe" with the older GPLv2 GCC but a person wanting performance could opt to use the latest version. Or is that tempting a slippery slope?
No, it isn't. A currency only needs to hold its value from the time you get it, to the time you productively allocate it or spend it on necessities. There is no benefit to a currency holding its value long term, and in fact, it is a detriment as currencies are not productive vehicles. Keeping capital locked up unproductively is a detriment to the economy. Money is the pointless asset.

China did not make crypto illegal. "China has banned crypto exchanges and initial coin offerings but has not barred individuals from holding cryptocurrencies."

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/18/china-bans-financial-payment...

India is likely to just regulate crypto, not ban it outright, even though an official made the claim back in March that they were going to:

"The central government may form a fresh panel of experts to study the possibility of regulating cryptocurrency in India, three sources privy of the discussions told ET. This comes amid the prevailing view that the recommendations by a committee headed by former finance secretary Subhash Garg in 2019 for a blanket ban on these assets had become outdated."

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/technology/govt-ma...

Nigeria did not ban crypto.

"According to local publication TodayNG, Adamu Lamtek, the Deputy Governor of the monetary regulator, said that the CBN did not ban Nigerians from buying, selling or holding cryptocurrencies but protected the banking sector from the activities of cryptocurrencies.

Additionally, he clarified that the central bank did not place any restrictions on cryptocurrencies in general and is not discouraging people from trading them."

https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/regulation/ni...

Nothing stopping people in China or Nigeria from having crypto, just certain institutions. And I doubt India goes through with a full ban on it.

> I think the modern equivalent of epicycles is string theory. Find an inconstancy? No problem, add a dimension.

A very common trick is to bump things to higher energy/mass. Your expensive collider didn't find the particle I predicted? The particle's mass must be larger than I thought; probably just beyond your collider's ability. You'd better build a bigger collider!

My theory of dark-matter/dark-energy/quantum-gravity/etc. doesn't fit known observations? This tweaked version only has discrepancies above a certain energy, which coincidentally is just beyond current colliders.

This is arguably how we found the W, Z and Higgs bosons; the charm, top and bottom quarks; and the tau. On the other hand, supersymmetry has been playing this game for decades, claiming that each new collider was sure to find (or rule out) the plethora of particles it predicted. Each time, the mass estimates were revised upwards.

Why would you ever spend an asset that you think is going to be worth more tomorrow than it is today? Doesn't make sense, you'd just borrow against it and wait. This is how the majority of the wealthy handle their investments. Buy, hold, borrow against it, spend. This is even doubly tax advantaged, as you don't have to recognize your capital gains - and you can deduct your margin interest.
I think most HN readers are intelligent enough to be able to consider the quality of advice as something separate from its source. That is, a source need not be perfect to be worth listening to.

Riot's obviously far from perfect, but this advice seems reasonable to me. Do you think following it is likely to lead to problems similar to Riot's? If there's some sort of causal link between empowering teams and failing to build an inclusive culture, I'd really find that interesting.
DOTA is such an amazing game that even a blatant low quality ripoff could launch a company like Riot into success. it really is a testament to Kyle Sommer - what a visionary!
