Radio Luxembourg
"In May 1932, Radio Luxembourg began high-powered test transmissions aimed directly at Britain and Ireland (which proved, inadvertently, to be the first radio modification of the ionosphere). The reaction of the British government was hostile, as the long-wave band used for these tests carried a signal far superior to anything previously received from outside the country. The British government accused Radio Luxembourg of 'pirating' the various wavelengths it was testing. The station had planned to start regular broadcasts on 4 June 1933, but the complaints caused Radio Luxembourg to keep shifting its wavelength. On 1 January 1934, a new international agreement, the Lucerne Convention or European Wavelength Plan (which the Luxembourg government refused to sign) came into effect, and shortly afterwards Radio Luxembourg started a regular schedule of English-language transmissions from 8:15 am to midnight on Sundays, and at various times during the rest of the week."

> COOP/COEP headers requirement

Just like CORS proxies maybe someone can make a public COOP/COEP proxy.

Stupid requirements will lead to stupid workarounds.

Actually you could probably just use CloudFront if you don't mind spending a couple bucks a month and configure it to add some headers.
SpaceX has already done that, in less time, and took humans to the ISS.
You’re supposed to build on the shoulders of giants. His parents went all in on him. That $200,000 was a meaningful amount of money to them. They bet the farm. I personally, want to live in a society which celebrates living on the shoulders of parents. Good for his immigrant father on being able to make this amount of money after having his fortunes erased in Cuba.

At some point, we cant be expecting more rags to riches stories. We need more acrobats, leaping from our shoulders.

Not at all. I'm just being realistic.
>How do they handle it in other countries?

No clue. That is why I am asking for alternatives.

>Yes i would blame the cops, its the police job to handle the situation without causing someone to dies.

So if the cops go in too fast and it results in a death it is their fault? If they try to validate the information and somebody dies because of the slowness it is their fault?

That is just not practical. We can't just blame cops no matter what they do. We need to decide if going fast and risking lives in that way is preferable or if more fully assessing thr situation and risking lives in that way is better. Just blaming the cops no matter what is wrong.

>How exactly they should do is for the police to figure out.

>You can't expect general public to figure out the solution.

The police have a solution. People don't seem to like it since they go in without fully assessing the situation.

Since we live in a democratic republic (at least if you live in the US) the general public should decide on the solution.
Without a mono repo and the ability to build from HEAD all the components, it's much harder to be sure a change to a library _is_ actually backwards compatible (think a complicated refactoring).

Otherwise, there is much more fear that a change to an important library will have downstream impact and when the impact does arise, you've moved on from the change that caused it.
With Pre-MVP you mean installing it on your laptop right? It all just really depends on your companies size and the liberties you are given. At a certain size your company will have dedicated ops and security teams which call all the shots. For a lot of companies, Kubernetes gives developers the liberties they would normally only get with a lot of bureaucracy or red tape.
I work in a small company, we don't have a sysadmin, so mostly we want to use managed services. Let's say we want a simple load balanced setup with 2 nodes. Our options are:

- Run our own load balancing machine and manage it (as said, we don't want this)

- Use AWS/GCP/Azure, setup Load Balancer (and rest of the project) manually or with Terraform/CloudFormation/whatever scripts

- Use AWS/GCP/Azure and Kubernetes, define Load Balancer in YAML, let K8S and the platform handle all the boring stuff

This is the simplest setup and already I will always go for Kubernetes, as it's the fastest and simplest, as well as the most easily maintainable. I can also easily slap on new services, upgrade stuff, etc. Being able to define the whole architecture in a declarative way, without actually having to manually do the changes, is a huge time-saver. Especially in our case, where we have more projects than developers - switching context from one project to another is much easier. Not to mention that I can just start a development environment with all the needed services using the same (or very similar) manifests, creating a near-prod environment.
They fit in different part of the hiring processs. A side project is something that potentially makes your resume more attractive and makes it more likely you get a callback/interview. Leetcode is a technical test which comes later.

Good luck doing a Kickstarter for an enterprise that will need billions in investment.
>Target seems to pay $13.68/hour

You're comparing apples and oranges. The $13.68/hr includes high school cashiers. The average wage for a Target warehouse worker is $17, again from your own link [0] on page 2. The average range for best buy is $15, well north of the $12.61 Amazon is paying.

And AGAIN, far better working conditions. So no, not unsubstantiated. And no, it isn't hard to understand working conditions unless you're intentionally trying to gaslight. Amazon has pretty well known requirements for packages per hour that they brutally enforce to the detriment of employee health. Their competitors do not.
Highly recommend anyone considering it talking
it over with their doctor first.

Do folks generally have luck getting it prescribed for ADHD and its ilk these days?

The doctors I've mentioned it to were not receptive to prescribing it off-label for attention disorders.

They didn't really seem to think it was an awful idea per se but really couldn't endorse it, and naturally they were worried about the risks of ordering it from possibly-unreliable overseas pharmacies.
"Someone hacked my account to post that one comment that's in line with the other sorts of comments I've been posting for years... and they managed to use my IP address" is gonna have an uphill battle for credibility in court.
Sure it will get sharded. But this is a pattern which can be detected, specially if you're not using your opaque money on stuff like groceries and normal day to day stuff.

If you're constantly maxing out your cap and buying normal stuff without that privacy-enabled money, it may well raise eyebrows in the IRS.

It's not a per-transaction cap, but a monthly allowance.
I appreciate the effort to smear my comment with a lazy assumption, painting me as kind of a sexist. No i haven't decided that anyone is only hired for roles because of their gender.

I just assume that in the situation where I was interviewing for a promoted role alongside an equally qualified female candidate also interviewing for that promoted role that I would have 0% chance of getting it.

Why would anyone ambitious want to put themselves in that position?
It really shouldn't. This is actually an example of pickle being broken.

The class exists, there is an existing valid reference to it, and Python itself knows about it and the class itself knows its own name and namedtuple generates the right __getnewargs__. Everything is there for this to "just work" but pickle expects that every class object will have a reference to it of the same name which is kinda weird when you think about it.

You can see it with this stupid little program.

from collections import namedtuple
import pickle

def get_all_subclasses(cls):
all_subclasses = []

for subclass in cls.__subclasses__():
if subclass != type:
all_subclasses.append(subclass)
all_subclasses.extend(get_all_subclasses(subclass))

return all_subclasses

E = namedtuple('EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE', 'x')
e = E(x='hello')

for cls in get_all_subclasses(object):
print(cls)

pickle.dumps(e)

You'll that the class it there and called the right thing! But pickle tries to look up a reference to it under __main__.
How is any of it defamation, though? Defamation is the telling of lies about someone in order to damage their reputation. If anything, Nieman violated laws against doxxing.
I see way too many young/inexperienced tech teams STILL using an unmaintainable process of just spinning up an EC2 instance for random crap because there is no deployment strategy at the company.
>Why in the world do I get a piece of paper from my doctor that I'm supposed to mail to my insurance provider (or scan and upload if you're lucky) when I'm being diagnosed with something?

>Doctor's offices are the least digitized businesses around.

Oh? Here in the US I can't remember the last time I had to take a prescription on paper from a doctor. Whether CVS, Walgreens, or Amazon PillPack, when my doctor prescribes medication, the pharmacy receives it very quickly, sometimes within minutes. Same with lab work; whether my health system's own labs or a third party like LabCorp or Quest, it's all electronic.

(The process is not all electronic. When a prescription expires, if I request that the pharmacy renews it (as opposed to requesting a renewal from the prescribing doctor), I believe the pharmacy calls the doctor. But either way, I don't otherwise get involved other than, in both cases, requesting it via a website.)
I considered that but you wrote "why I stay in the "Great lakes states""

In any case, yes it is a bet to hold property there for that reason. Good luck.
I don't see the point of this comment. The parent comment didn't talk anything about SpaceX.

Also, since SpaceX did it already, in less time, should others just close the shop and not try to do the same?

How about the argument that it’s completely unnecessary? Such a grid exists, they’re called rivers. We just happened to fuck it up and put the most water-hungry farms far away from the rivers.
I would find it hard to believe it's unconstitutional given that the 16th amendment defers the definition of taxable income to US code.

Agreed! Unfortunately, quite a bit of the money that she donates to some of these organizations goes into the pockets of extremely well-paid executives. That what's always bothered me about giving to charity orgs more widely. Luckily, there are websites that allow you to check how much charity organizations are actually spending on their programs vs. their expenses...

I do think that giving directly to individuals who will make sure that all of the money is spent wisely is an interesting alternative approach.

No, you have to write or adopt tools for each of these things. They don't just magically happen.

Then you have to maintain, secure, integrate.

k8s solves a broad class of problems in an elegant way. Since other people have adopted it, it gets patched and improved. And you can easily hire for the skillset.
It is not yet true today in the way that I am thinking. I am specifically wondering about when undetectable surveillance devices can find their way into my home. It seems inevitable to me, despite my opinions on surveillance.
At work I mostly use Linux and at home mostly a 2017 Macbook Air. I do have a Windows PC that I put together in ~2012. I recently used the PC again because there was some Windows only software I needed to use and it was shocking going from Mac to that. Windows gets a lot of shit, but it felt way more responsive than Mac. I think due to the lack of animations on everything.

The author of the article is on to something with regards to Apple focusing on what demos well rather than what is good to use.
Interesting! I was confused by the electric vertical motors in the news story's image... but it looks like the main engine is fuel powered, and an alternator powers the electric motors: https://www.muginuav.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Mugin-60...
The electrical grid IS a national security problem. A big one.
The Affordable Care Act website, despite the initial difficulties, is a pretty impressive feat. That said, the issue for me is that people parrot Reaganisms blaming the government, without stopping to consider cause and effect or history. The US Government was intentionally stripped of it's capabilities so private sector oligarchs could gorge off the public dole, and that's where we are at today. The solution is to rebuild those capabilities, not to surrender completely.
That’s an interesting take, I wonder which company, Google or FB, has better predictors? Surely they have enough data to actually have the best predictors when compared to academics looking at monthly statistics.
Their block list excludes Google which has trackers embedded in the majority of web sites.

There is nothing really "private" about that.
I don't think people that think about this as their day job consider climate change to be the existential threat we are fixing by going to mars.

It's generally: nuclear war, asteroid strike, super volcano bioweapon/plauge and possibly malicious AI.
And even if you do the changes incrementally, it lets you validate you are doing each step correctly and not breaking backwards compatibility along the way.
It has that effect for me... but unfortunately I don't always get to choose the task. Sometimes I'll get really interested in the wrong thing, as opposed to work.

But overall I do find it beneficial and preferable to Adderall.
The Federal Reserve's mandate is to make sure there is a steady level of gradual price inflation. The main way they accomplish this is to lower interest rates, so that more money gets lent out into circulation. But this new money only affects the Consumer Price Index via housing assets and other big ticket items that get financed - it doesn't directly bid up the demand for consumer goods.

Whereas if the federal government creates more money (via debt) and gives it out direct aid to the people, it goes right into the consumer market. Prices rise across the board, getting the CPI to the target level without the Federal Reserve having to lower rates.

There will always be inflation as long as the monetary policy is to create inflation. But government spending at least chooses somewhere explicit for it to end up, rather than the default option of just inflating financial assets (which we've had quite enough of).
Side question: how do you prevent import statements from being imported by "from lib import star"? (Without explicitly mentioning all the stuff that is not import statements).

For example, this is mymod.py:

import numpy as np

def f(x): return 2*x

And here it is imported:

from mymod import *

f(10) # Works as expected.
np.sum([10, 20]) # Works, but shouldn't work.
They make it easy, and then human nature and dev laziness does the rest. If you can reach across the repo and import any random piece of code, you end up with devs doing just that. It's a huge huge pain to try to untangle later.

That's why tools like Bazel are strict about visibility and put more friction and explicitness on those sorts of things. But this tends to not be the first thing at the top of people's minds when starting a new project... so in the monorepos I've worked on, it's never been noticed until it's too late to easily fix.
It's great that they forgave you. I know a startup that incurred a $30k bill that they didn't forgive. The startup folded.

AWS's unknowable policy for the cost of errors represents a huge risk for individuals and small businesses. It puts a lot of people off.
Your representatives don't have to accept Amazon's bribes, you know. They choose to do so because they're corrupt and convinced you to be mad at a different party entirely while they pocket the cash for future campaigns where they convince other people like you that they will serve your interests.
I googled "cost of Apollo program" and it comes to $257 billion in today's dollars.

Also, the economy was considerably smaller in those days, and so the Apollo program took up a much larger share of it.
fair enough, arguments added
10% is around the noise level for HPC, especially for throughput depending on scheduling. I rather doubt you couldn't do the same as free software.
Yes, I understand that, but I think the belief among some people is that, as long as we are being irresponsible stewards of Earth, we will be equally irresponsible with any other planet we colonize. And if life on Earth is destroyed by a meteor, that will still be the case. Some seem to believe that this is a reason to get a handle on our own destructive tendencies toward our environment before we try to colonize other planets. But I agree that it'd be better to have a somewhat-environmentally-destructive bunch of humans on Mars, rather than waiting and risking extinction because a meteor hit Earth before we got our shit together.

I do believe, however, that it will be at least a couple hundred years before a colony on Mars will not only be self-sufficient, but capable of flourishing, if some extinction event were to befall Earth. That doesn't mean that we should give up or stop working on it right now, but I think the reality check is important.
You clearly didn't go to high school in the 1980s.

IMO the problem with this is when you go from startup -> not a startup you go from creating an MVP to something that works with a certain amount of uptime, has performance requirements, etc. Frameworks will still help you with those things, but if you need to solve a performance issue its gonna be hard to debug if a you don't know how the primitives work.

Lets say you have a network performance issue because the framework you were using was misusing epoll, set some funky options with setsockopt, or turned on Nagle's algorithm. A person can figure it out, but its gonna be a slog whereas if they had experience working with the lowest level tools the person could have an intuition about how to debug the issue.

An engineer doesn't have to write everything with the lowest level primitives all the time, but if they have NEVER done it than IMO that's an issue.
That escalated quickly. Unit tests and type systems are not complicated at all, and are applied by solo developers all the time. GraphQL and Kubernetes are completely different beasts, technologies designed to solve problems that not all developers have. There really isn't a comparison to be made.
There was some project where one wrote all of that (essentially what Kubernetes does) in like 8k lines of bash script. Brilliant, yes. But there is not way I want any anything similar in my life.

I am not the biggest fan of the complexity Kubernetes is, but it solves a problems there is no way I want to solve individually and on my own.
The author of this blog post, Peter Pomerantsev, is a NATO-aligned professional propagandist, so it is hardly surprising that he finds the concept of Russian "information sovereignty" appalling.

It's analogous to a Mongol invader finding the concept of "territorial sovereignty" in the Great Wall of China appalling.

>Because any company reaching monorepo scale will have integration tests that cut across the boundaries of your projects.

Heh. This makes a couple assumptions that I only can wish were true: (a) that people won't go to monorepo until they hit some huge scale, and (b) that people will at that point have good test coverage.
Follow up question. Do any of the recommendations have an option to allow voices through? My galaxy buds have an option called "Ambient sound" which basically acts kind of like a hearing aid, piping sound from the mic through to the speaker. It is useful when someone comes and wants to ask a quick question. I know that is somewhat the opposite of "noise cancelling" but I would think they could coexist in some way (i.e. cancel fan noise and hums, but pipe though voice).
I suddenly feel less alone in the world.
The short answer is that income is a significant factor but it's complicated. The difference in life expectancy at 50 between the lowest and highest income quintiles is about 13 years in the US [0] vs. e.g. 8 in Denmark [1]. (Other European countries seem to be qualitatively similar to Denmark but I couldn't immediately find another apples-to-apples study to compare.)

This gap has widened over time in the US, and in fact life expectancy for the bottom quintile has stayed flat or decreased, despite plummeting tobacco usage and general mortality improvement among black Americans.

However, it seems like this is mostly driven by differences in behavior (smoking and obesity rates in particular), not by factors like access to medical care [2], though in general the effect is very heterogeneous.
