Sorry about that, I realized I had more to say after I had posted the reply. Your point about expensive technology becoming more affordable in the long run- that makes a lot of sense, and I totally get it. At first, basic air travel was such a thing, as was travel by rail. Or fancy carriage. So yes. That much is true.

And I think if they'd sent up other billionaires instead, it would have made no difference. 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. For many people, it's visible proof of the gaps getting wider and wider.
If you're familiar with Linux (which should be considered required-reading if you're learning about containers), most of this stuff is handled perfectly fine by the operating system. Sure, you could write it all in K8 and just let the layers of abstraction pile up. Or, most people will be suited perfectly fine by the software that already runs in their box.
There's more to economics, business, and technology than making up assertions like "This is the Iphone of _______".
> for exactly the reason

Do you have insider information about the case, or is this your synthesis? The former strikes me as being unlikely, because you seem to have missed that the cornerstone of the suit is the claim that she's not actually the one responsible for the anti-Muslim comment, which is what makes this defamation.

IIRC estate tax doesn't kick in until after ~$20M? I don't really know much about this particular area of tax law though so I wouldn't rely on my comments.
I'm not sure that's true. Even if they are never competitive with SpaceX you can't employ that many people and spend that much money without advancing the industry. The benefits are just second order effects.
that's not even close to an accurate analogy.

iphone was better than conventional phones in every aspect.

what are some of the things that bitcoin does better than conventional banking?
It's much more than a negligent act, this is active intentful criminal activity. If you're going to put people in jail for selling weed, but do nothing to someone performing continuous online harassment such as release of private information on public channels, false reports of child abuse, swatting, sending false deliveries to their home, bad mouthing them to their friends, stealing of their online accounts through sim swapping, and all that, well dammit something is definitely wrong.

And the harassment in this case isn't even trolling or a grudge between two people, this is harassment for ransom of property and valuable assets from the target, in this case, valuable Twitter handles.
> If you're literally just doing a rename, and you're using something like Java, why not just go ahead and do a global rename?

It introduces changes to places which really doesn't need changes. We've done both at work, but I mostly prefer just making the old function(s) simply call the new one directly.

Then you won't "pollute" source control annotation (blame) and similar.

Not a 100% thing though.
It's somewhat tangential since this case didn't involve SWAT or the sheriffs, but I found this picture a bit comical:

Musk is creating a constellation of satellites that can provide global internet. His technology seems like the only viable way to and back from Mars. Bezos/Branson made a rollercoaster for the super wealthy.
But "keeping up with changes" applies just as much to Kubernetes, and I would argue it's even more dangerous because an upgrade potentially impacts every service in your cluster.

I build AMIs for most things on EC2. That interface never breaks. There is exactly one service on which provisioning is dependent: S3. All of the code (generally via Docker images), required packages, etc are baked in, and configuration is passed in via user data.

EC2 is what I like to call a "foundational" service. If you're using EC2 and it breaks, you wouldn't have been saved by using EKS or Lambda instead, because those use EC2 somewhere underneath.

Re: services like SQS, we could choose to roll our own but it's not really been an issue for us so far. The only thing we've been "forced" to move on is Lambda, which we use where appropriate. In those cases, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
For those interested, I strongly recommend the Brinkley documentary "Nuts!" http://www.nutsthefilm.com/

It was both funny and informative. And the early-days-of-radio experience is surprisingly parallel to the early days of social media.
Pilots generally do have some level of engineering background, in order to be able to understand possible in-flight issues, but they're not analogous to software engineers. They're analogous to software operators. Software engineers are analogous to aerospace engineers, who absolutely do understand the internals of how turbines work because they're the people who design turbines.

The problem with software development as a discipline is its all so new we don't have proper division of labor and professional standards yet. It's like if the people responsible for modeling structural integrity in the foundation of a skyscraper and the people who specialize in creating office furniture were all just called "construction engineers" and expected to have some common body of knowledge. Software systems span many layers and domains that don't all have that much in common with each other, but we all pretend we're speaking the same language to each other anyway.
There's a fair number of people complaining about the law setting him at 60-months in prison.

Well, the __solution__ is to talk about how we should rewrite the law. To rewrite the law, we should first understand this case entirely.

This is just one man in an entire conspiracy group who seemed to seek profits from conducting ransom attacks. If you don't pay a ransom, you'll be doxxed and somebody out there will probably SWAT you for fun.

There's levels of indirection here, as if they're trying to minimize the hit they'll take as they go to jail. And it seems largely successful. So the next step is to start making proposals for how the law should be written (and then to get those drafts to the lawmakers).

This is a non-political issue that won't really get stuck. I'm simply trying to start the political process and law crafting needed to fix this problem in the future.

Is the problem on Discord for having unsupervised meetup spots where these kinds of conspiracies can grow? How do people join groups like this? Is there a way we can get the Police to attack these groups before further incidents come out? Etc. etc.
Of course, but that's not the case here. Doxxing this woman made Temple a better place to learn, and hopefully it made some people think twice before posting racist comments. I think this was the perfect outcome.
If you are comfortable with javascript instead of python, I think Remotion [0] could get you to something like that pretty quickly.

It‘s more data driven motion graphics instead of non-linear video editing, but it looks like that‘s what pirsonal is doing pretty much.

> To a lesser extent the same pattern emerges in dirigiste-curious economies like Canada who limit foreign entrants into markets like telecom, resulting in a general tax on the entire population who suffer expensive and inadequate data plans in order to protect local oligopolies.

That's something I never understood either. Telecom is a commodity. I also think that's what hurt Blackberry back when it was still relevant: They were developing these phones in an environment where the carrier had all powers and where data was so limited.

I remember them being incredibly skeptical at the iPhone because Apple was expecting data to become cheap and plentiful.

Other countries don't have loose guns policies like we do, which means that more incidents will require armed response.
Are there magnet links ?
During my travels I met a family in Kenya who were some of the friendliest people I'd ever met. They showed us all around the the local towns and brought us to a fantastic bunch of places. In return, I wanted to support their son who was going through education at the time - either pay his fees or send him school supplies. Unfortunately, they said that there was no point because any money or supplies we sent to them would never arrive; they'd just be taken by the people at the post office as soon as they saw a foreign stamp. It wasn't even government mandated fees on customs. It was just theft. This was before the advent of digital currency and other means of sending money abroad, so we simple had no way we could support them other than giving them gifts while we were there.

I still think about them all the time, and how sad it is that people live in a society like that where blatant robbery was simply the norm. It gives me some hope though that with the proliferation of affordable mobile phones across impoverished regions, people finally have the means, however modest, to receive an education.
My property taxes have gone up 10% year over year and in 2 years my property taxes will surpass my mortgage.
What this makes to current version of Mongo? Whoch is far more reliable. AFAIK there are soem issues with transactions, especialy in case of sharding. But disregard transaction in has many leverls of write concern. I'm not sure regarding bugs, but it claims to have diferent write concern levels that could suit different scenarios. So AFAIK it is reliable now, if used correctly.
Stellar book! A short but lively read that I've come back to many times.
In my country, the age group that took up the most hospital beds was the 45 - 64 year olds. [1] This is probably true for your country too.

The vaccine will prevent you from being hospitalised and burdening the healthcare system. This will allow cancer diagnosis/treatments, surgery and other life saving procedures to go ahead for other people.

Scroll to “ New Hospital Admissions by Age Group” and change to “In Total”.
you must be living in your own bubble if you think any of those apply to bitcoin.

> an asset that cannot easily be seized (safe, mobile, relatively easy to recover with seed words)

the us government was able to chase back bitcoin payments made to hackers

- an asset that cannot easily be debased (good at storing value)

bitcoin in it self is not an asset, just like paper money by itself is worthless.

- a network that is permissionless to participate in (no requirement for citizenship or identification, just software)

i'm not sure if it's as permissionless as you think. you would still need an internet connection, which in most cases require identification to setup. regular people aren't gonna implement the software themselves, so they have to get it from somewhere. the most widely distributed bitcoin wallets are not permissionless.

- a network that is censorship resistant (interact with willing parties, pseudo-anonymously).

if you're trading bitcoin through an exchange (i.e 99% of the users), it's not anonymous.
It's a rational fear as well. It happens more often than one would think.
You'd probably be better off signing up for an Oracle Always-Free tier as there's no billing information stored should anything run into costs. But as the name implies, it's always free, so your performance, bandwidth and space allocation is substantially lower than the paid options.
The last couple of weeks of VAERS data confirms that while deaths from the "vaccine" are still rare, the "vaccines" are now killing twice as many people as the virus itself. Public Health Scotland last week admitted that over 5500 people have died in Scotland (pop. 8.4M)within 28 days of taking the "vaccine", a death rate also exceeds the death rate from the virus itself.

Given that the CDC admits that since VAERS reporting is voluntary, only around 10% of incidents are likely reported, that should be enough evidence of "vaccine" danger to give anyone pause. Also, it's a travesty that CDC has flipped the usual "must be proven safe and effective" process on it's head to "has not yet established a causal link to the Covid-19 vaccines". (See last Friday's update at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/ad...)
Because any company reaching monorepo scale will have integration tests that cut across the boundaries of your projects. It's possible for an outside contribution to break your corner of the repo, but the flip side is that you will know much more quickly if your own changes break another part of the repo.
You don't have to quit caffeine cold turkey. You can just ramp down from n cups of coffee/day to 1 cup, then switch to n cups of tea/day (black or green) and ramp down to 1 cup, then switch to low-caffeine or caffeine-free tea, then stop entirely.

Have been off caffeine for several years now. Took probably a couple months to reach a point where I felt comfortable going into an interview or important meeting without it. Now I don't miss it at all, but if I ever do have it, a cup of decaf coffee will have me buzzing for hours, and an espresso will make me extremely uncomfortable and jittery - crazy that that used to be my baseline intake.
Dudes and dudettes. Before you ask for higher taxes—hear me out.

First, recognize the trajectory.

Bezos is the definition of someone living out the American dream.

The corporate interest may be trending towards a monopoly—but this is a guy who was abandoned by his biological father, adopted by an immigrant, and was able to use his skills, smarts and efforts to achieve the easiest way for me to buy something.

Second—for all the taxes paid directly and indirectly in the US, the CDC and the FDA could not respond to this pandemic with any sort of competence.

Do I trust these people with money? No.

They could have spent 800 million dollars and avoided a pandemic—but once it started up again they just find it so easy to spend money like gangbusters.

This is a complicated issues. But before asking for higher taxes, ask for better constitutions.

PS-for my money, your tax rate should be based on lifetime earnings. I would love to know how to switch from yearly, to lifetime.
> [1] The biggest exception to the rule is custom hardware (particularly embedded, but this also holds true for mainframe and HPC systems), where custom compilers come for the ride.

This is exactly what RISC-V was created to address. People here get excited about running Linux on it, but really the goal is to have a flexible, extensible ISA that can be used from microcontrollers [1] to DSPs, GPUs, & TPUs. Full-on Application Processors, with their FPUs, MMU & Cache, are only a small part of the design space of RISC-V.

The shared ISA means the rest of the stack could share and leverage tools. Any day now ;)

That's the case for literally everyone in our society. Can I take your money then, since you're a product of a society I contributed to?
If you call the cops saying that you are being taken hostage by someone with a gun who is threatening to kill your family, I don't think it is unreasonable for the cops to bust down your door.

There are definitely emergency situations where knocking on neighbors' doors is not going to be fast enough.
K8s has like, probably the most complete support for readiness/no downtime deploys in the whole damn industry so it's surprising to hear that...

Because they came into the situation intending to save lives, not take them.
Taxing unrealized capital gains isn't happening because Amazon is lobbying the federal government, it's a fundamental premise of the US tax code and starting to tax them is arguably unconstitutional (I'm not arguing it is or isn't, but I've seen arguments that it is unconstitutional from reasonable sources).
Hum... Ok, there has been a "mostly nonbreaking" change on leftpad that corrects some vulnerability. Are you proposing that a single developer/team clones the work of 100s or 1000s of different people, update it into to use the new leftpad, run the tests and push?

The only way this could ever work is if the change is really nonbreaking (do those exist in Javascript?), in what case you could script the update on as many repositories you want too. Otherwise, living with the library vulnerability is probably safer than blindly updating it on code you know nothing about.

Anyway, burdening all the teams with a required change is the way to go. It doesn't matter how you organize your code. Anything else is a recipe for disaster.
My problem with Moda/Armoda is that I feel like a tweaker when I'm on it, and I only take enough to get an effect. I get sweaty, physically stressed, and just generally feel like I'm taking something that is not in my body's best interests. I have to drink liters of water to avoid a headache. I also have noticed some of the dopamine effects(increased risk taking and addictive behaviors). I'm slightly bipolar though(type II, pretty mild) so maybe it's just not for people like me.

It does work pretty well for focus though, and is really nice for my middle-aged brain which often is tired throughout the day.
> This was a heinous crime that should have been prosecuted as first degree murder.

this thinking lets people escape convictions that would've been a sure thing if they were prosecuted for second degree.

"first degree" doesn't just mean "we punish them more", there are specific requirements for it. and if the facts don't fit the requirements, the defense will explain that _very_ _clearly_ to the jury and you'll have a difficult time getting a conviction. juries are not as excited about handing out first degree murder convictions as you might think.
Volunteers always outnumber paid emergency workers. This the case in most countries. In Australia, the volunteers from the State Emergency Service and the Rural Fire Service would be about 70-80% of all personnel for emergencies.

In fact, you have to pay for most of your own safety equipment. One of the weirder things is the most effective logistics support comes from people from the Sikh religion. If there is a fire, flood or any problem Turbans 4 Australia are onsite cooking vegetarian food for anyone who needs it, victims, police, SES and firefighters.T4A not only does not get paid but they pay for all the food.
Your thinking very closely reflects mine. I actually did build a C# parser generator producing strongly typed AST from base ANSI grammar and inherited Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Postgres grammars.
We are using it in our database migration products and will soon use it for Resharper style intelligence in a very lightweight and fast database manager. It never occurred to me to publish the parser generator, though. It's our secret sauce.
Right, I really dislike systemd in many ways ... but I love what it enables people to do and accept that for all my grumpyness about it, it is overall a net win in many scenarios.

k8s ... I think is often overkill in a way that simply doesn't apply to systemd.
We're talking a timescale of millions of years before that happens, right? Have you you thought this all the way through? All the possible scenarios?

If we send humans out to the stars, our civilizations will diverge. First there's a hop to Mars, then Titan, then then next solar system over, then a galaxy or two. Soon enough you've seeded the universe with human civilizations that have no concept of what Earth was like. Maybe they've heard stories, seen videos or pictures, but what will they really know about Earth in 100k years?

It's not like we're going to be one happy galactic human family. We can't even do that here on Earth, how are we going to maintain peaceful relationships across the universe? So now all you've done is seed the entire universe with a race of petty, greedy, selfish, war-prone primates; living on barren planets, underground or in habitats; who have stories about a mythical homeland filled with a breathable atmosphere, rivers of drinkable water, abundant lifeforms that roam the surface freely, where no one has to live like hamsters (what even are hamsters?) in a habitat. What if they start talking about a better future for themselves on another planet, and they come right back here to conquer it?

I guess what I'm saying is, if all we're doing here is using science fiction to project out millions of years into the future, why are we only projecting positive scenarios where humanity heads to the stars and saves the human race from obliteration? What if instead of inventing the United Federation of Planets, all we do is invent the Reavers from Firefly, and we end up the authors of our own demise?
They should have invented Craigslist. No newspaper did this because they couldn't see the value of free classifieds driving traffic for select paid listings.
Honestly it's not developers' job to hit their estimates.

If we're talking about a long-term estimate, as in "this project will be finished in 6 months", it's your job in management to find a way to do this. You've got to break the goal down into achievable sub-goals, and monitor progress along the way.

Long term estimates will be wrong. Software projects generally take longer than expected, so it's up to you as a manager to anticipate this and communicate to stakeholders with the correct degree of uncertainty.

If it's an external deadline which must be met, firstly you should engineer enough extra time into the timeline to handle inevitable delays. And if at any point you feel like the timeline is unachievable, it's up to you to renegotiate with stakeholders, or adjust the scope to make it achievable.

And if you have the feeling your team is slacking off and not getting work done, honestly this sounds like a lack of leadership skills. It's up to you to have the kind of relationship with your developers so that they are motivated to meet the team's collective goals and take responsibility. That's basically all that being a manager is.
A million people can invest $20 in high risk/high reward investments similarly to a venture capitalist, meanwhile investing $800 in some less risky investment.

Kickstarter exists.
You're a disrespectful troll.

The board admins here suck to tolerate these kinds of sh!t posts.
Not a sin but it's not really just about supporting (or optimising) their products, its about doing so whilst trying to increase the lock-in beyond what is achieved on performance grounds alone.

I may be wrong but my experience is that AMD has been a bit better on this is the past e.g their OpenCL libraries supported both Intel and AMD whereas Intel's were Intel only.
So, because police aren't practiced at responding often to hostage incidents - they should just not send anyone at all?

Ultimately, you're going to have to have people deal with hostage situations, heavily armed organized crime, etc.
Yep. It's a great setup if you can get it (for yourself at least).
