I think you are both not quite right ...

Which is to say, you don't need the borg executable server-side if you are happy to run it over SFTP transport which limits some functionality.

Yes, of course you could talk over an sshfs mount point but I can't think of why you would do that over the more basic SFTP transport.

The accepted, and full-featured, way to run borg is with the executable on the server side and I will point out that the borg project distributes a "frozen" version of the tool that allows you to run it without having python in your environment. I believe they use py2exe to pack it up.

This is important for us[1] as we have no interpreters of any kind in our environment (no shell, no python, no perl) so we can only run binary executables ...

Ask HN: Adwords account banned for seemingly no reason what should I do?
I really have never used adwords seriously before and this time I set up a small landing page for a k8s dev tool I wanted to see if anyone had interest in, wrote the copy myself and set up a modest daily budget on Friday, today I woke up to the account being completely suspended for circumventing systems, which seems to be the highest tier violation, and for the life of me I'm not really sure why.

The landing page is https://www.kubelord.com and I can't see anything wrong with it so I'm just generally confused.
On par in what what? Should someone expect them to be less effective as a first shot? If done two has a different vector, what makes the two shots less effective? Would a AZ followed by a JJ work as well as two mrna?

Theres a certain level of "we dont have data to prove it" but that isnt the same thing as "we expect this to be less effective."

If the specific protein creates less immunity, or towards a variant, they do have time to modify it as well. There is a difference between the technology being inferior, and this implementation being inferior.

It's bad faith to downplay the benefits of viral vector shots, with regard to logistics and handling.

It seems that any English speaker expecting a certain pronunciation from spelling alone would have quite a hard time.

Eh, kids from rich/educated families probably get a much smaller marginal benefit from the quality of the school since they're getting tons of extra stimulation at home (stability, parents reading to them at night, parents encouraging academic pursuits). Meanwhile lower-achieving kids benefit just from having the higher-achieving kids in the same classroom.

I am curious as to how this "limited collection" of IR firms adds to or drains from the overall security ecosystem.

On one hand, having a limited number of firms allows for seamless knowledge transfer, and upholds a somewhat high standard of service - kind of like a licensing regime.

On the other hand, I wonder if this cartel limits innovation and keeps new entrants with new ideas and better service from entering the fray.

Maybe its a bit of both?
Probably. With a barrel shifter easily. Barrel shifters are a bit slower than wired shifts though, so for ultimate speed you'd end up with hardware shift amounts.
Sets initially seemed appealing because they are less abstract

than types. However, the lack of abstraction turned out to be

a fatal flaw in attempts to make sets the foundations of

mathematics because:

* sets cannot be rigorously defined using 1st-order ZFC

* sets cannot be used to define higher-level abstractions of mathematics

The key point is, they had a legitimate reason for under-collateralizing during the biggest bull run in crypto history at that point. 2014-2017 was the perfect period to begin fraudulent activity if they were really interested in it.

I guess the question is, what is the best time to commit fraud in the crypto space, earlier or later (during-post increased regulatory scrutiny)?

You'd be hard pressed to get such figures from an EV. The worst offender that's still a passenger car consumes 368Wh/km at highway speeds(120km/h) in cold weather (-10°C), but its economy is unusually bad. My pet theory is that it's mining BTC in the background, because those figures are outrageous.

Yeah, improving nothing as natural gas has similar OC2e to coal (with much smaller CO2 - but the methane makes up for it, to it comes up the same), while giving money to Europe's enemies. Perfect.

I'm not sure lots of innovation means it's not a house of cards. We don't know how many fraudulent companies there are in this space. It seems possible that a few pieces of information could lead to a crash and that would definitely mean it's a house of cards if it was the case.
As sibling wrote very well:

“ Equal opportunity is a universal value that everyone can agree to strive for.

Equalized outcomes is a dystopian nightmare (equity).”
EV’s are a net reduction in normal usage patterns.

First extradition, manufacturing, and transporting gasoline releases significant CO2. Most power plants are actually very efficient due with many in the 60% efficiency range, because unlike ICE they don’t idle or need to be portable. On top of that a large fraction of EV electricity is coming from ultra low CO2 sources.
I had a similar experience. I love watching the Olympics, even obscure sports that no one cares about. In past years I’ll leave it on in the background while I do other things alL the time. This time I was attempting to watch the olympics and due to the sheer difficulty on finding what to watch I just gave up on watching them altogether. Even the website had me confused on the schedule.. are they showing Japans times or what time zone for this schedule? It’s like they actively don’t want people watching the Olympics this year.
I often think there's an equal and opposite other side to that: Don't /make/ any rules unless you know what you are doing and able to justify them (and their scope of effectiveness).

I've recently had to work on a project controlled by someone who's swallowed "clean code" and a couple of C# style guides and now just unthinkingly applies what he thinks he's read. E.g: you are not allowed any comments in this codebase. No variable may be typed. Period.

This is how Comcast wants it -- they're still a cable company, and even though they've started pushing online, they're still a cable company first and foremost. They don't want to sell you a $20 pass to the Olympics or even a $20/mo subscription to Peacock; they want to sell you a $150/mo triple play and $20/mo home security system add-on (that may or may not actually function), because the company seemingly still thinks it's 2006 and there's nothing better.

For me, it is not directly about being competitive. I care about my Goals in life for which you need to compete and hence the competitive nature. I particular don't get jealous with others but it is more of a reminder that if they can do it, so can I.

That is probably because you don't give yourself a lot of importance. Start caring about YOU a lot more than you do. Be selfish. Cooperating with others is not a bad thing but it should not happen at the expense of your goals and needs in life.

Saying that the largest coal plants are more carbon intensive than the average of coal and gas plants in the same country is such an absurdly strange stat to use that I believe this paper was funded by natural gas interests. Nothing else makes any sense to me.

For those unfamiliar, gas plants are much less carbon intensive than coal plants. It gets a bit murkier if you include methane leaks, though gas is less dirty in terms of non greenhouse pollutants but basically both should be phased out and coal should generally go first.
Do you mind explaining this?

This is what I understood it to mean: a startup grows marketshare rapidly with VC money infusion in an easy money environment. But when credit dries up like it did in 2008, the startup could be left hanging as VCs might not fund the next round of their previously star startups as they want to deploy resources to their absolutely top-rung startups. So, even good startups can be left stranded.

That's the feeling I have. Would like to know if my thinking is on the right track.

Well, it's certainly true that "e" for [i] is almost unique to English.

But it's pretty common for languages to preserve phonetic distinctions in their orthography that have disappeared from the spoken language—Latin American Spanish has silent "h", "z"/"c"/"s", and "b"/"v", so "Helvecia" would be pronounced exactly the same way if it were spelled any of "Helbecia", "Helbezia", "Helbesia", "Helvezia", "Helvesia", "Elbecia", "Elbezia", "Elbesia", "Elvecia", "Elvezia", or "Elvesia", and if you think "Helvezia" is impossible I refer you to "azimut", "zinc", and "enzima". And on my local blacksmithing group on Fecebutt I regularly see people spelling "haber" as "aver". Not to mention "k"/"qu"/"c"—no reason "cuákerismo", "folklórico", and "kilovatio" couldn't be spelled "cuáquerismo", "folclórico", and "quilovatio", but they aren't. ¿Kesesto? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4DbC1rbERg

In the other direction, it's pretty common for languages to have more vowels than the Latin alphabet, like English's 13 or so (14 in my idiolect). Even Latin itself had 10 vowels. There are several different ways to handle this problem: you can just hope people guess the right pronunciation from context (like modern English and classical Latin, though modern transcriptions of classical Latin often have macrons to help you out); you can use digraphs, as in "floe" and "each"; you can use a different alphabet with more vowels, like bopomofo (12 or 17 vowel signs, depending on whether you count codas that include consonants) or Cyrillic (9 or 13 vowel signs, depending on how you feel about diacritics) or hangeul (10, 21, or 22 vowel signs, again depending on how you count); or you can use diacritics, as in Portuguese "à" [a], "â" [ɐ], "ã" [ɐ̃], "à" [a]. Or some combination.

Speaking of Portuguese, though, many dialects of Portuguese are an exception to your generally excellent rule: "livre" is totally pronounced [livɾi] in, for example, Rio Grande do Sul. This is made more complicated by the fact that in stressed syllables it's totally [ɛ] and not [i].

I think [ɛ] "90% of the time" is an exaggeration given that only 86% of people are non-Chinese, and Chinese is another exception; as noted in the original article, "e" in hanyu pinyin is [ə], as in French (another 1% of people). But [i] is a very rare value for "e" outside English.
I think this switch from supporting an always-growing economy to one that one whose population numbers are in relative stasis will be the biggest challenge of this century. It's something we've never encountered as a global civilization. And I think it could break said civilization.
What would this even mean?
I sure do love my Ryobi tools. They have a hobby-user engineering and price point, and features for people who are bad with tools, like myself. Some plastic makes it light / cheap. Brushed motors because of the lighter workload. Plenty of guide lights that you don't find on Dewalt. Half the price.

If you have ZFS clients and server, what benefit does inserting borg provide on top of a continuous ZFS send from client -> server and server -> rsync.net? ZFS send can already do encryption, and ZFS supports compression. And snapshots automatically "dedups" files that haven't changed between snapshot points, which I'd guess saves more space than deduping literal duplicate files which are not very common ime.

I guess I just don't see what value borg provides if you're already using ZFS throughout.

The "I'm intelligent and I know the rules" is rated 800.

The "I'm pretty good at chess" is rated 1200.

A 1600 player will beat a 1200 player 9/10 times.

A 2000 player will beat a 1600 player 9/10 times.

A 2400 player (grandmaster) will beat a 2000 player 9/10 times.

People like Eric Rosen and Levy Rozman base their entire career around studying, playing, and teaching chess on Twitch and Youtube. Hours and hours a day. They are really, really good and play in competitions.

But even they are not at the grandmaster level.

EDIT: To use an analogy, reaching grandmaster status is comparable to playing in the NBA.
