I'm building a log management platform priced lower than hosting your own open source stack. In our books it saves up to 80% in log spend.

Website: https://www.wrble.com/

The product:

I’ve build a log management platform out of frustration at the lack of competitive pricing and stagnant feature sets of existing logs management companies.

Target Customer:

Developers, System administrators, Devops, CTO’s , or who ever needs a log management platform.

Wrble at the moment is being used by a number of early adopters and teams in our community. We have also been using Wrble internally for the past few months as well.

I would love to hear your comments, feedbacks and thoughts.

If a system can be easily manipulated from the outside to produce negative results, the outsider is easily to blame the first time it happens.

Swatting has been a problem for over a decade[0]. If the system remains vulnerable to the same attack for that long, the system administrator is at fault for failing to resolve the issue.

[0] I was lazy so just looked up what UD thinks, the second definition is dated 2007, so that seems like a reasonable date to consider "over a decade" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=swatting
How hard would it be to write a program that can create such puzzles, given a set of few thousand valid English (or some other language) words?
I would argue that showing a dominant amount of force is the norm not an imperative.

Police justify many actionsl/systems/norms based on the fact that their job is dangerous. However they have also, in doing so, created a situation where anything they do to reduce risk to themselves is valid. That hits a limit at some point

You could insist that police behave in a way that actually puts them at some risk…i.e., not presume they will be attacked or to be unarmed. We could decide that that risk is worth it as a society and insist upon it just as we insist that essential workers put themselves at risk during covid to feed us.

If potential risk is always used to justify force, eventually the risk will be gone because force will be the default.
Ok, so, important thing to know THE THING DOES NOT RUN LINUX! There was an article put out a while ago that reported it running linux and people have been trying to rectify it ever since. It is running an arm microcontroller, it is closer to an arduino than a raspberry pi.
Sorry, but it's equally bullshit to deny that this is happing just because you never experienced it.

Multiple times a year Danish and Swedish media report that paramedics and firefighters are attacked by immigrants or descendents of immigrants in certain areas.

It's not because they are immigrants, Muslims or have brown skins. Something else is going on, but no one cares to find out what that might be, because it might cost money to fix the issue. Blaming peoples origin or beliefs is much easier than fixing a real problem and heaven forbid you where to do something that made the life of immigrants better, people might not vote for you again.

I have yet to see one large trial confirming or refuting the efficacy of Ivermectin. As long as that doesn't exist, the efficacy of Ivermectin is undecided. I'm highly skeptical myself, but the existince of one poorly executed study is completely irrelevant, as is the assocation with "right wingers".

Probably? I don't really agree with gp, but up-voted, as it reads like a reasonable argument. Normally I'd probably neither up or down vote, but I generally browse with "show dead" - and it's sad to see comments down voted to oblivion when users offer an opinion that's just slightly against the consensus. Without dissenting opinions there's not much debate left. /meta
I was talking specifically about the issued military arms and ammunition in that comment, which is what the comment I responded to was about. I made a separate comment later about privately owned arms and ammunition but I could have been a lot clearer. Botched in the edit.
Not having causes of death reported, or rather purposely obfuscated, is precisely the value of these excess-over-baseline mortality studies.

The science and maths of these things are quite well understood and one can give Bayesian credible bounds, or frequentist prediction interval bounds for these quantities.

I also have no doubt that those close to the government will no doubt try everything possible to deny, dispute and discredit these numbers because it does not show a pretty picture.
> the general pattern for memory is association, not hierarchy

But we organize our real lives in hierarchies, too. We have our clothes in their own wardrobe maybe, socks in one drawer, underpants in another.. not the green shirts and socks with the green books and the vegetables, and the forks and knives in one box with our screwdrivers, pliers and pencils.

It's never perfect, of course, some people are messier than others, but the general idea everybody knows and sees the merit of. We navigate and create hierarchical taxonomies so much, every waking hour, that we barely acknowledge them as such. The digital version of that is not fundamentally different from that.

IMO the question shouldn't be "where did I put this, so I can have it?", but "if I had this, where would I put it?". If you know your own or an agreed upon structure for something, it's faster and less taxing, both mentally and time-wise.

Also, I don't just look for things I remember, I also remember things by browsing the shelves so to speak, and that becomes more fruitful and enjoyable with some order :)
Why wouldn't it be able to? Strip back linux and it can run on almost anything. Its been running on PC's since those specs were normal for a desktop lol. The original Pentiums went as low as 60MHz and they could still run just fine.

New research tries to explain consciousness with quantum physics
This new knowledge of quantum fractals could provide the foundations for scientists to experimentally test the theory of quantum consciousness. If quantum measurements are one day taken from the human brain, they could be compared against our results to definitely decide whether consciousness is a classical or a quantum phenomenon.

VMA doesn't solve a lot of hard problems around memory management, which really come from synchronization issues. You need to make sure that the GPU is done with a resource before you can destroy it on the CPU side. What it brings is a host of allocation algorithms for very specific use cases and a lot of code for tracing/debugging memory usage. Plus, it shields the users from some positively braindead quirks that the Vulkan spec has gathered (some through extensions that create traps when they aren't enabled - just present; I had to scream when I pieced that together...).

I have my own slightly anemic memory manager code that implements a basic scheme with no frills, avoids pitfalls and fits into about 500 lines of code. The only thing I really might want to improve is the some of the free lost handling. The rest shoukd be good for quite a while.

100% agree. The argument presented in many other threads seems to reason that the easy tax filing systems do not allow for custom deductions or are easy because the tax system is simplistic.

I think that in the South African case the tax system isn't simplistic and I can add all kinds of details that might be specific to my tax requirements.

I'm surprised by how many people seem to be defending the lack of a government provided system on the basis that somehow the citizen will get a worse deal as a result.

> Preorders generate risk for a business, because you take money and owe a customer goods, potentially for months. You cannot spend that money because you need to be able to refund it, but you're also carrying the risk of storing and protecting that money because it's technically yours.

That's the whole point. You can repurpose the buildings within reason, that's what they've done in Porto where I've spent some time. Porto used to have lots of derelict buildings in its Heritage area, they've been rebuilt according to strict rules and it's fine.
I don't think having UNESCO status means that you can do nothing - it's that you have to be careful with what you do if you care about keeping this status. If you look at the main photo on The Guardian's article on this subject (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/21/unesco-strip...) you'll see that there's a bunch of generic glass-and-steel buildings that have sprung up around that area. The BBC article went with pictures that do not show this for some reason, and it's easy to come away from that article thinking that Liverpool has been punished for just tidying the place up a little bit, when they've done some pretty substantial development that really changes the character of the area.

As someone who is neither an architect nor personally involved in UNESCO I've no idea what they would have considered acceptable or compatible with World Heritage status, but I am sure that there is some way that land could have been developed in a way that wouldn't have drawn their ire (like not planning a 55000 seat stadium, for example). Whether Liverpool would have considered such a development worth it or not, I don't know.
But still open source, which brings a lot of novelty value for hackers.
The onus, right now, is on ivermectin proponents to demonstrate significant efficacy. The evidence introduced thus far has not been compelling, and until that changes, the onus remains on them.

That its advocacy seems to be driven ideologically rather than scientifically is relevant, IMO.

>Sweden did not implement a lockdown, yet had a 10x worse per capita death count than Norway.

the situation is much more complicated. Looking at excess deaths

https://www.cebm.net/covid-19/excess-mortality-across-countr...

one can see that in Sweden despite high rate of death, the excess rate is very low compare to countries with comparable Covid death rates. The Norway and Finland are among the few exceptional countries who had negative excess rates.
You know that I neither wrote that nor implied it.
You apparently do not understand how the evaluation of medicine works. You have to prove efficacy vs a placebo in a test with a control that only receives the placebo (double blind test).

Trials do not refute anything, they can only prove that something works, never that it does not work.

I’m curious what you call “limited network bandwidth” and “constant medium network consumption”. Video uses a lot of bandwidth. Ultra-low-latency live-streamed video uses even more. They recommend a minimum of 10Mbps, and they’ll use that much. Not many things are able to chew up bandwidth like video, and things like pictures and videos will typically use more bandwidth fed through a system like this, to produce a worse result.

EDIT: I feel I really must edit again because I've just done some simple math and realized how completely absurd/predatory this offering is.

So they don't offer any pricing on their website until you sign up. Cool.

But anyway...

You rent this £ per hour (seriously) with a maximum single payment of 100 hours. For their max spec (7gb ram and 7vCPU) it costs £68.38 for 100 hours.

If I'm an actual power user (which this seems to be targeting as it constantly goes on about power hungry apps) then I'll assume I need 40 hours a week.

That would cost me £1422 a year. For that price, I could purchase a laptop (and only need to pay once) with 16GB ram, Ryzen 7 5800H and an RTX3080. To boot, I could probably get it on finance at the same monthly cost.

Why would anyone not just do that?

Useful for people running extremely low power machines I guess but this is is literally about as far from what I want as possible.

Not content with creating every bloody application in electron or some other web technology, we're now trying to move even the native apps into the browser and require an always on internet connection too.

God help us.

EDIT: just an additional point - I initially thought this could be really cool for schools etc, buy low power machines and run effectively thin clients. However, that actually would be even worse because of the insane network bandwidth you'd need to run hundreds of instances at the same time. I literally do not see the point of this.

The salary should depend on the economic value a worker generates. The article also contains concrete numbers about said value. Sure enough, only a fraction of it trickles down to the workers and creators, having been looted by the management.
What you're saying doesn't make any logical sense.

We have data of how many people died (from all causes) for every year from around 1960 to now, getting more accurate as time went on. Certainly for 2000 until now the numbers are very dependable.

We can graph it, see abnormalities, and have very accurate estimates of how many people are expected to die next year in any given country.

Suddenly, for the first time in many, many decades, the estimates from 2019 about 2020 were wildly low. In virtually every country in the world more people died than would have ever been predicted, and suddenly decades and decades of accurate estimations are out the window. Again in 2021 the deaths are way up.

How can you possibly explain so many "extra" or "unpredictable" deaths after decades of numbers that perfectly matched estimates based on previous years?

This is only true for people earning below a threshold - most professionals in the UK will need to file taxes

That simply isn't true. An income of £80,000 puts you in the top 4% of adult earners. A salary of £100,000 is probably in the top 2 or 3%.

This was discussed extensively at the last election when Labout proposed a new tax rate for people earning over £125k https://election2019.ifs.org.uk/article/labour-s-proposed-in...
> Firefighters are the most and they are almost always volunteers, the so called "Freiwillige Feuerwehr". As a member of the Freiwillige Feuerwehr you'll have some kind of pager or app to alarm you and people will then leave work and rush to the fire department and man the trucks. Only large cities (> 100k residents, I think) need to have paid firefighters.

Germany has three kinds of firefighters: volunteer, fulltime and conscripted.

I've never heard of conscripted firefighters ("Pflichtfeuerwehr"), but apparently it's possible to
call upon able persons, i.e. if the village is to small and not enough volunteers exist.
No, they may not be “from the pandemic”, they may be from the actions taken in response to the pandemic. These aren’t the same things.

I get that they're angry and desperate that they cannot force ChessBase play along with the free and open software movement but going all the way to "revoking" is going in the opposite direction of the intended goals of open source.

Shouldn't they be trying to force ChessBase to release their code??

Almost nobody pays this. Moreover, it's not ridiculous that if you're a tycoon traveling the world and you're implicitly using US citizenship as your escape card, you should pay taxes.

> In mid-April [of 2020], an eye-catching statistic appeared in the news: the number of people who’d been infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the California county of Santa Clara was 50 to 85 times higher than thought. While just 956 cases of COVID-19 had been officially recorded by April 1, the true number of infections was between 48,000 and 81,000, outlets reported.

> These elevated numbers were reassuring, some outlets noted, because they suggest that most SARS-CoV-2 infections are milder than feared—a point seized on by conservative political commentators and some of the study’s own coauthors as support for the view that restrictive lockdown measures are an overreaction.

Didn't pan out.
> I don't doubt death from starvation is a possibility, but probably not the majority cause.

"Probably"? Is that pure speculation or are you basing it on something?

A year ago Oxfam predicted "By the end of the year 12,000 people per day [worldwide] could die from hunger linked to COVID-19."

That experiment was halted because it didn't move the security metrics as much as they wanted. It is therefore very obvious that the conspiracy surrounding the motivation was ridiculous.
A lot of the remoter and poor regions grow their own crops. What they lack is

- education (understanding how to slow the spread the virus with many not even wearing a mask when looking after family members who are ill)

- money (to pay for any medical care needed to treat COVID victims)

And in the poorer but non-remote areas you have population density and hygiene issues.

I’m not saying there aren’t going to be cases where famine is an issue. But it’s certainly not the majority killer — COVID is an effective enough killer on its own if it’s not handled carefully.
Starvation, depression, lack of medical care, lack of future economic prospects, etc. are only a few possible causes.
Simple way to get better estimates is to see YoY gross deaths across states & then subtract it for the 2020/2021 numbers. That way even if they are not tagged correctly you can still arrive at a better estimate.
Just to bring this in a relative context. This is a fatality rate of 0.28 %. Seems to be higher than in other countries. Germany for example has a rate of 0.11%. I have no clue which the factors between India and Germany are or what these numbers are saying.
But just spitting a number of 4 million (little less the population of Denmark) into the room, says even less to me.
> Right, and the headline surely isn’t designed to make you think it’s from COVID...

Is that an attempt at sarcasm, or are you pointing out that the headline doesn't make you think it's 'from COVID'?

Because to my eyes, the headline very much describes a situation of excess deaths, including those indirectly attributable to COVID19.
What sort of semantic game are you playing? If you have a large RCT that shows no effect of Ivermectin, its efficacy is refuted, for all intents and purposes. I don't know how else you would phrase it.
Matter of perspective I guess. Deaths directly from COVID also depend on the actions taken in response to the pandemic, so in both cases they are (potentially avoidable) consequences of the pandemic and societies reaction to it.
That hasn't been my experience. One the airstream is blocked you won't be cold for long.
