White goes first because black was considered a lucky color. So if black went first it would have double advantage, from being first and from being the lucky color.
That's a bit of a misconception. Modern chess is European. Shatranj was a much less dynamic and interesting game.
So the basic problem with *nix is its permission model. If we had truly separable security/privilege/resource domains then Linux wouldn't have needed containers and simple processes and threads could have sufficed in place of Borg/docker/Kubernetes.

There's a simpler and more powerful security model; capabilities. Capabilities fix 90% of the problems with *nix.

There's currently no simple resource model. Everything is an ad-hoc human-driven heuristic for allocating resources to processes and threads, and is a really difficult problem to solve formally because it has to go beyond algorithmic complexity and care about the constant factors as well.

The other *nix problem is "files". Files were a compromise between usability and precision but very few things are merely files. Devices and sockets sure aren't. There's a reason the 'file' utility exists; nothing is really just a file. Text files are actually text files + a context-free grammar (hopefully) and parser somewhere, or they're human-readable text (but probably with markup, so again a parser somewhere).

Plenty of object models have come and gone; they haven't simplified computers (much less distributed computers), so we'll need some theory more powerful than anything we've had in the past to express relationships between computation, storage, networks, and identities.
I’m going to assume good faith, but Figure 41.2 only has data through 1992 (the paper is from 1995). 30-ish years of hotter, drier seasons might change that picture.

In fact, Figure 1 in your first pdf says just that: the “count” of fires is similar to that in 1991, but the area burned has more than tripled.

That is what people are talking about: the past few years have had mega fires and “complex fires”.
in that case why have owners at all? it should basically be nationalized then. otherwise taxpayer paying the cost without really reaping profits (if there are/will be any)
Well, except that Jesus literally told you not to defend yourself from takers. You can't get more direct than this:

> But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

So, assuming Jesus was speaking literally, the only possible interpretation I can think of is that Jesus wanted you to buy a sword, but not use it against others. Why he wanted you to buy a sword, I don't know. Maybe he had a friend blacksmith.
Where there are witch-trials, there will be those in power who seek to manipulate the mob, for their own personal gains over everyone else's detriment.
> Why are we so hell-bent on restricting speech and burning all these engineering hours trying to moderate something that cannot be moderated?

Because if you allow humans to moderate then those humans start acquiring power. Which is something FAANG companies strive to prevent at all costs.
Of all the suggestions, I like the "Malgorithms" the most. It is catchy, easy to read and probably understandable by normal people as well.
> They decided the Battery tunnel wasn't good enough anymore. So they dug a new tunnel. What to do with the excavated rubble - why stuff it in the old Battery tunnel, rendering it unusable.

What did you want done with that tunnel? I think it had earthquake issues separately from the viaduct, and without the viaduct, I'm not sure how useful the tunnel would be anyway. Stuffing it with the rubble reduces the cost of rubble disposal and fills the tunnel without the cost of fill dirt or whatever. The new tunnel is definitely nicer than the old one, but I don't drive around seattle enough to know if it has the same utility.

> The government likes to buy tunnel boring machines. What do they do when finishing a tunnel? Why, the sell the zillion dollar machine for scrap! After all, what spends money faster than buying a new boring machine for the next tunnel!

I'm not sure how reusable these machines are; they kind of all come in different sizes and have customized needs, and they're hard to store. Can't just leave them halfway through the tunnel for years....

But yeah, Seattle loves tunnels almost as much as Kitsap traffic engineering departments love traffic circles, but Seattle has a bigger budget.

No, the popular real estate scam of the 1920s was selling "oceanfront" property in florida that was really just swampland.

The origin story for Florida Man is that Florida's sunshine laws make police records public by default, so on a slow news day the local paper just trawls whatever wacky arrest records are open to the public and publishes that shit. Dumb crazy people are everywhere in the USA (and anywhere else) -- although more Florida stories involve alligators than average.
They don't do a very good job of it. For example, Washington's Congressman Jayapal introduced legislation to wreck Amazon (headquartered in the state and which drives a big part of the state's economy). Amazon also proved to be completely ineffectual at stopping Seattle from passing an "Amazon Tax" (yes, the politicians even called it that).
Yes as a non-US based user this is one of the most amazing things for me with IA.

in my head IA was just the wayback machine with cached pages. But during the pandemic I realized that there is a plethora of actual books that one can checkout with far less friction than in a standard library.

It is such a cool concept, also there are IA satellite projects (not sure if they are owned by or in partnership), for different non-english languages e.g. arquivo.pt so you can have the same plethora of content in other non-english languages as well.
The sliding scale goes from minor concerns about freedom of speech to the gas chambers. I don’t say this to exaggerate — I really think that’s how things spun out of control in Germany.

There’s a somewhat terrifying book on said topic: Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland.

A book review reads: “[this is] a shocking account of how a unit of average middle-aged Germans became the cold-blooded murderers of tens of thousands of Jews”.

The real lesson of the book is that each and any of us could be these ordinary men.

So I’m not sure there really is a tipping point. Maybe we can invent one in retrospect, but as the slow-motion train wreck happens, it’s hard to find any one point where things really go awry. It’s an integrated process.

It’s possible to pass the the buck back forever. The root cause of WW1 is that a group of primitive apes became intelligent and migrated through and out of Africa.

The only thing we can hope to do is fix things as they stand now. We’re probably far past the tipping point already, what with all the damage social media has caused our society.

My Journey in Deleting Facebook and Instagram Accounts
Given there's 500 or so hours of video uploaded per minute (or some other huge amount), i'm not sure we can expect YouTube to moderate each potential violation. Each video constitutes a miniscule amount of revenue.

The only solution (I see) to this is for YouTube to charge for each upload - say $1 a video (there may need to be different prices in different parts of the world), this wouldn't detract the majority of uploaders and would pay for checking hate speech, copyright violations etc.

> The truth is that a lot of people are hurting badly, and to watch others do extravagant things that don't make a difference for the bettering of humanity now just pours salt on the 'wound' of poverty.

“A lot of people are hurting badly” is a subjective statement. If you listen to economists or look at the data, the world overall is doing better today than in the past.

Help me understand why space exploration has to stop because some people are suffering, just as people suffered in the past when governments or other companies invested billions in X. Was the Apollo program a mistake? Was the ISS, the most expensive project in history, also a mistake? Is India wrong to send a satellite to Mars? What about China? Do you have a problem with America’s extreme, bloated military budget? Where’s the emotional rage about all these other things? What makes Bezos or Branson so special?

There’s a more inaccurate but emotionally appealing argument that I think you’re trying to make - that we can simply use money to make every problem go away.
We already have plenty of laws to regulate what you can do within your own property so it doesn't inconvenience your neighbours — burning rubbish out your back garden, playing loud music in the middle of the night, putting up structures that block daylight coming into their property etc. etc.

I think having zoning laws that say hotels aren't allowed in "this area" but they are allowed in "that area" isn't unreasonable. (Most people have no problems with a long-term resident going away for a weekend and letting their house on AirBnB, it's when you turn a property in a residential neighbourhood into a permanent short-term let that's the issue.)
I believe that drones will almost completely replace fighter pilots in the nearer future. Maybe the will still get a control role in air missions. Some say latency would be a problem, but I doubt that. With the range of modern weapons, even a latency beyond several seconds should not pose any problem.
Those places burn too.

You want electricity, right? PG&E is one way to get it. You could replace the people in charge, you could replace the owners, you could even nationalize the whole thing and you still have the same problem: Vast amounts of incredibly expensive, aging infrastructure, drying climate, and homes built into the wildland boundary interface.

There's no magic trick that will solve this problem. The money for electrical upgrades will have to come from taxpayers and/or ratepayers; there isn't anyone else. And it will only reduce the probabilities of big fires. The huge Carr fire in Redding was started by sparks from a towed trailer. The LNU complex last year was lightning (plus one guy trying to cover up a murder with arson). It's not all electrical... probably not even a majority.
"Increased enforcement" is the new "self policing". Clap louder, Tinkerbell is sure to fly.
Not sure if NY has this, but when I first moved to the bay area in 2004, I lived for three months in a studio apartment, in a building that catered to shorter-term stays, before finding something more permanent (I was on a 3-month contract and wasn't sure I'd be offered a full-time position). Chatting with the property managers, I learned that my use case was pretty common, as well as people only intending to stay in the area for a few months, as well as your use case of needing some time in the area before finding something more permanent. If we'd had Airbnb back then, it would have almost certainly cost 2-3x what this place cost.
If the median and mean are significantly far from each other than that's an immediate indication that the distributon is skewed, and we also know to what side. If you know the sample size you can also get a degree of skew from this. I challenge you to tell me any other two numbers that can give you that much info by themselves with no knowledge of the underlying distribution.

Back in 2003 we had Solaris Zones (now called Solaris containers).
Same concept as Docker, but we didn't knew exactly why it was such a good idea, and the hardware was expensive.

What made Docker spark was being abke to use commodity hardware and ush to production with the same exact environment and behavior.

You could have done the same with Solaris, if you developed on a Sun Ultra5 workstation and published the application in a zone in the server. But 2003 was a different world and not everyone had a Spark box to develop nearby.

The moon and mars are both ridiculously unsuitable for human life.

Why on earth would that possibly be an option rather than making even a cursory attempt to slow or stop the destruction of our perfect planet?

It's a ridiculous idea. How could anyone think this was a worthwhile endeavor?
BC is currently burning to the ground. Again. I don’t think our hydro grid has failed due to forest fires, or at least not commonly. Nor is it responsible for starting them. Our territory must surely be as rugged as California’s. So maybe look North?

> In general, the desktop antivirus space in 2021 is a mess.

I don’t think that antivirus is helpful in 2021. I think the most important thing you can do is make sure you are all patched and do not run as administrator.

Antivirus is likely to be unable to catch the really bad stuff, and it actually increases your attack surface. In addition, you pay a performance tax all the time. IMO, just not worth it.

Yeah, this “intent is the only thing that matters” mindset is a naive perspective on communication. People like to act as though there's some liberal bogeyman reaching for social currency by acting “woke”, when what has generally happened is someone was thoughtless/inconsiderate and an offended party spoke up (this whole experience was, of course, quite traumatizing for the thoughtless/inconsiderate person).
instinctive needs to connect and interact with other people, to gain new experiences/information and be entertained, that kind of things. People will just seek it out elsewhere if not on Facebook.
> That can already happen with or without crypto.

True but not in such a centralized way. You can have less tangible assets like Gold or Cash. Your stock notes are physically deposited somewhere else. Your home ownership will exist somewhere else. Contracts, Health- or Welfare entitlements, Child Support Claims exist on their own and somewhere else. Some will mail you a check, or wire the money to different bank accounts. Or you have to collect it physically.

Now imagine if all of that has moved to the "anonymous" blockchain and you're an "apostate" (e.g. a US socialist in the 1950s, a devout muslim in the 2000s, a Trump supporter yesterday or a corona-restrictions critic today).

We will learn the hard way that inefficiencies can be a feature and not a bug.
Yes. And putting Arabs and European whites in the same basket seems ridiculous, as there is anti-arab racism among white people (in the US) and, probably, the reverse is somewhat true too in some cases (there is a large diversity of situations among Arabs, it is not the same a poor Algerian immigrant and a rich Arabian prince). In any case, when you start using rigid classifications, you make the problem worse. Racism is there, but it is subtle and harsh at the same time.
> Everything is explainable in layman’s terms… if you understand what you explain, that is

IMO that's at the heart. Popper, Feynman, Evans and on and on.

But it's unsexy, it makes the experts look like you and me. Talking greek makes them appear enlightened, however, and will save them questions. What shall the economically thinking expert do, one might ask. So beware of them.

The root is, where the money comes from.
Electrical power causes about 10% of wildfires by number [1], but it's responsible for 7 out of the 20 most devastating wildfires [2]. Perhaps this is because power-line fires happen disproportionally in remote, unattended areas, where they can grow large and uncontrollable before firefighters arrive.

It probably won't solve wildfires - there's still plenty of fuel, and hotter climates, and strong winds - but it can buy some breathing room. I suspect a bigger reason is to maintain the integrity of the grid. Buried power lines don't start fires, but they also don't get taken down when there is a fire, and they won't have a judge order them shut-off when there's a risk of high fire danger. Being perceived as an unreliable source of electricity is a far bigger threat to a utility than burning down a few towns - I know that was the primary reason I went solar, and a lot of my peers are also thinking of disconnecting from the grid because the grid isn't there when you need it.

Do you have somewhere to point me to set things up in this configuration?

I’m a freelancer that hosts client stuff and I need something between “SSH into server” and “kubernetes.”

No, I never did buy the docker hype. Seem to be doing okay.
One distinction versus naturally caused fires (like lightning) is that power lines are often downed by high winds over dry terrain. Lightning, usually, is accompanied by a storm so there’s at least some rain.

It’s not going to stop everything, nor all human-caused fires (e.g., the “gender reveal” one last year), but I believe it shifts the likelihood more than you expect.
You seem to believe space flight and cost efficient rocketry are as simple as flipping hamburgers. Bezos grilled a cheeseburger and invited friends for beer after McDonalds already produced a billion Big Macs, and so obviously Bezos was just show boating.

If you despise Bezos and Branson because of their wealth, you can just leave it at that. But trivializing the hard work and accomplishment that went into what happened two now this month is near sighted, short term thinking. IMO it actually explains why America’s Congress is basically at a stand still. People are better feeling outraged about something rather than celebrating something right in front of them.

As an ops engineer I really expect not to use multiple repositories. Seriously the company don't hire 10 ops engineers + 1 developer: They hire 10 developers + 1 ops engineer. Instead of fixing a problem once, the ops engineer now have to solve a problem 10 times! It's against any good promise at hiring time!

In my past job, I wrote a script to update all deployment manifests in tens of repositories. All commits arrived at the git server at the same time. Needless to say the whole team had to stop all work to wait for the ci/cd triggers @@@

One step at a time. Forest management is a huge issue. Wildland firefighters are zealous, almost paramilitary organizations that try to vanquish every fire like enemy invaders. In reality, fires are part of the lifecycle of forests that clear brush and make the forest healthier and more resilient in the future.

I don't know how you you calculated that risk, but right now the numbers are so overwhelmingly in favor of the vaccines that even with a 1% chance of getting COVID-19 getting the vaccine you don't trust is safer than getting the virus you should trust even less. And unless you live in one of the few countries that have contained COVID-19 (for now), the chance of getting COVID-19 is a lot higher than that.

If you've already had COVID-19 you could argue the numbers become less clear.
Of note, full access to the internet was also a condition or Obama’s deal to scale back the embargo: https://www.wsj.com/articles/google-and-obama-administration...
