Thanks for the response. My two cents: price is not the thing that I would compete on. For any "real" business, the cost of Heroku is negligible compared to its benefits; a few hundred dollars per month in savings is just not enough to convince most companies to migrate to a completely new service that isn't as battle tested and has fewer features. At the same time, I'm not convinced you could make any significant amount of money tailoring your service to side projects.

With that said, I think you have a great product and could probably make some decent money by offering some combination of niche features. Ideas off the top of my head:

* Integrated metrics. Since you're primarily targeting Django apps, it should be feasible to collect health/performance stats from the apps and display them in a simple dashboard. You don't need to offer very much here; most companies would be more than happy with basic stats related to response times per route, although SQL query times would be really neat to see.

* Automatic scaling for your Python projects. If you could apply the same ease of deployment to horizontal scaling, that would be really valuable.

* Easy integration with AWS services like S3, SES, and SNS. You could do this in a number of ways. One idea is to provide a set of Django libraries that, for instance, makes sending SMS messages super simple, with no configuration needed when used via Appliku. Or you could integrate with existing libraries and just remove the configuration step for the developer.

With at least one of the above (or some other differentiator), I could see Appliku taking off. In any case, you have a great product, and I wish you the best of luck!
Electrostatics generally require high voltage (the HASEL muscles you linked to require 2-20kV [0]) to generate usable force.

This creates lots of engineering and regulatory challenges for product development because, as the esteemed William Osman says, "Welcome to the world of high voltage, where everything's a wire and you're probably going to die" [1].

I had been thinking about fantasy stories and what the maximumly evil evil empire you could write in a story and still have it somewhat believable. After reading that, I think Sparta is probably it, if not a little beyond it.
Interpreting QM is a waste of time. The current human brain cannot understand QM well enough to mke a physical interpretation. Stop wasting our time with pseudoscience.
The SSD firmware is not stripped, but it also does not have any access to the Internet or RAM. AFAIK they use WiFi adapters that use free firmware and drivers.

Hi. My phd is in biophysics. This is scientific garbage (the proposals are absolutely not supported by any experimental data).
So I tried thinking about what this really means, and I guess to some extent it measures a weighted "consensus" of inputs? First consider the simplified case of real weights. Then it will simply detect if they inputs are similar numbers or not. Similar numbers -> similar angles -> addition of vectors all pointing in same direction -> high magnitude. With complex weights there is a also a rotation of the vectors which complicates the picture (before 2.1, 1.9, 1.8 would be strong agreement, with rotation it might instead be something like 2.1, -0.1, 0.5) but I think you can still somehow thing of it as measuring if there is a consensus or not.

Now since the inputs are features from a previous layer I guess what it is looking for is stuff like "Feature A should be 1.6 more strongly activated than Feature B".
I found that one humorous, as well.
This might be the wrong place to ask but does anyone know what’s the situation with fixing Range not implementing Copy? I ran into this the other day again and way annoyed.
If anyone is looking for a similar service to deploy Ruby/Rails apps, check out https://www.hatchbox.io from Chris Oliver. Unfortunately doesn't come with a free tier but worth every penny!
Even if you do not have a motor but just a single charged sphere, at its surface there will be an electric field increasing with the charge.

At a certain charge value, and at a not very large one, the surface electric field will exceed the breakdown field of air and a corona discharge will start.

See St. Elmo's fire.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo%27s_fire

So unfortunately the idea of using the repulsion forces does not work.

To prevent the discharges, the entire environment around the 2 charged moving parts would have to also be charged with the same sign, but then the repulsion forces between your parts would be balanced by the repulsion forces from the surrounding medium.

This is very interesting to me. I'm essentially a one man devOps team at a small web agency hosting multiple client websites mostly based on Django.

One question; what do you do about compiling and transpiling Javascript? Right now it's done via webpack in the local environment and then pushed out to S3/CDN.
It would also want to arc to other parts of the mechanism, it's not just the tiny subsystem of the actuator here we have to consider.
> Assuming the GPL did not exist and the author would have made stuff proprietary, would that be better ?

That's a false dichotomy – there are many more open source licenses which wouldn't have led to the problem described in the article.

No true Scotsman is transgender, either.

Ok - so the decision to medically alter the course of their development is made for them, at a time when you admit they are not able to decide for themselves.

> And none of this happens without the consent of a board-certified physician who is under oath (and the threat of lawsuit and/or losing malpractice insurance) not to do anything to harm the patient.

Which is increasingly happening in other countries.

And why does a doctor get to make this decision without the parents?

> Why are doctors deciding that minors with healthy genitalia need to have them surgically altered?

> Also, wait until you hear about circumcision. You're going to be really outraged at the surgical alteration of minors with healthy genitalia then!

I am in fact outraged at the practice of circumcision. Aren’t you?

That makes more sense, but the deploy cycle is already really fast with Heroku. I'm not sure if there is very much value in trying to shave off a few more seconds.
I don't see how that's specific to comparison functions. It's just a result of someone not unit-testing their code.

I was expecting to see an example of structure comparisons such as struct date {int year; int month; int day;} which are easy to get wrong unless you've internalized the pattern (or use modern C++ where it'll generate the comparison operators automatically for you).
TSA is a manifestation of the totalizing technocratic State and all that that implies. The motivations are manifold and they evolve and are discovered over time; I wouldn't argue that there is only one reason. Being also a 'jobs program' in no way invalidates my point.

By the way, shepherds don't scare sheep, wolves do. Shepherds corral sheep. Sheepdogs harass sheep, triggering their herd instincts by raising the specter of the wolf in their minds. Sheepdogs are used by shepherds in order to herd sheep to where the shepherd wants them 'for their own protection' and his use.

But to make the point less metaphorically, the intention isn't to scare people, but the effect is to herd people efficiently, by reassuring them through fear. The fear we feel when we have our hands in the air like criminals to be screened is transferred to the fear we assume those who would harm us must feel and we assume the deterrent affects them, too. The dog that nips our heels will surely chase off the wolf. That effect (efficient management) is itself desirable and so the preservation of that effect becomes another motivation of the system.
It's worth noting that Aristotle was not a disinterested commentator on Sparta: he loathed the relatively high amount of freedom Spartan women had compared to Athenian women, and went out of his way to argue that when bad things happened to Sparta it had resulted from this.

the main cause of insect death? the insecticide.

more broadly, our collective penchant for killing everything that’s not corn or soy. insects are co-evolved to pollinate all the flowering plants of the world, and we’ve replaced a lot of flowering plants with farmland and concrete. so it’s no mystery to me what happened to the bugs.

so what’s the theory with electromagnetism? only correlation i can imagine is the more urbanized an area is, the better the 4G coverage.

Sure, use a square instead of a triangle. That’s a good idea. Actually, we should use marks that are easily recognized by machine vision so they can be efficiently sorted.
>The actual identifier should be something like “Open a ticket (imperative, button)”

Or even better: "ui.ticket.actions.open" — trying to shoehorn linguistic categories into translation files is a painful experience, but dumb specific IDs work great and make untranslated captions apparent.
I've had requests not to use the word "urban" in daily conversation because of its "racial overtones". I guess if I was rich enough to sell planes it wouldn't matter as much.

This looks like a fun little thing; but I don't see "flying cars" ever happening, at least not under human control. All them other fools on the road now are out to kill you; do we really want to increase the volume of space from which they can attack?
All of this is so recognizable, but I'd add one more: Make sure the user has a way to switch the translation back to English.

I have some sites showing in, say, Chinese, where even the current language is a Chinese glyph. Nothing on such a page is readable for a non-Chinese speaker. So you get to click around randomly until some menu opens where you see the word 'English' which brings you to a page you can read enough to get to your own language.
when put into perspective that is pretty frequent, ~0.02% chance per ship.

Only about 30% of "recycled" glass is actually recycled in the USA and its going down with a lot of municipalities removing it from their programs completely.

I prolonged my own path many times in my life, by making things harder than they need to be. (edit) Aspirations acting as a anti-shortcut somehow.
On top of the arcing issue already mentioned, it's a lot easier to control a current than to control a charge distribution. So electromagnets win.
Pharmaceutical companies still introduce new medications. They just need to submit documents/applications to the relevant government authorities. The same could be done with packaging when trying to introduce a new type.
Setting up a server and database is not hard. Maintaining and scaling it is. I don't want to use my valuable time on these things, so Heroku is worth the cost. People who say Heroku is expensive are not in their target market -- businesses who want to avoid their team unnecessarily spending time on infrastructure instead of product.

Heroku is much, much cheaper than 1) me spending my time on these things, or 2) hiring a capable engineer to do it for me. It's build vs buy. I'd rather buy.

But that's not to say I'm not interested in a Heroku alternative. But it needs to be a *real* alternative. :)
This is doable, it is impossible right now, but given enough time, quite probable that one could take an old design, and move it to a new PDK and have it automatically adjusted to meet the same timing and power constraints. If only one could take the GDSII for an old process node and just make it smaller. Maybe someone will make a model that does that, just contracts images of polygons. :)

It would require not only the tooling but also past test runs of all of the verification passes to confirm that the new design doesn't have a flaw.
Winners of the Breakthrough Prize Announced
Not even close. My (excessive) estimate in another thread is 1e33 J, which would have a Schwarzschild radius of about 16 picometers, and something (I don’t really understand it) happens if a black hole is charged which makes the event horizon radius smaller than the Schwarzschild radius.

Now I’m wondering what would happen if you tried to create a black hole purely from the energy density of an electric field. Do you asymptotically approach an extremal charged black hole? Or do you make a super-extremal black hole? I’ve heard conflicting claims about if super-extremal is even possible.
I think "1 million" means 1e6 everywhere. But the confusion might be because "1 billion" means 1e9 in USA but 1e12 in UK/Ireland. "1 trillion" similarly is 1e12 in USA but 1e18 in UK/Ireland. This is called the short/long scales. It's a headache.

Unless new progress has been made that I'm not aware of, you need at least another blob beside the ME firmware (me.bin) to build a full coreboot image on the X230: there's the "Intel flash descriptor" (ifd.bin). I'm not sure if that contains executable code or it can be generated similarly to the gbe.bin (ethernet controlled config).
I have a similar experience as a german on the internet.

Aliexpress (straight up wrong translations), Discord (anglicism, adjective ordering and weird sentence/tone structures) and plenty of others I don't remember, the list is pretty long. Size doesn't really seem play an effect aswell.

Another big issue are potential bugs you encounter. If you just get a translated error message without any error number or something similar it's a very frustrating experience to troubleshoot it. I've spend quite some time retranslating error messages to solve issues.
Add to it that often knowledge bases are outdated in the translated languages.
I could be wrong, they could be from anywhere in the world, but it seems more likely that they’re American than European if their life is dedicated to work
“Open ticket” doesn’t even really make sense in English. Maybe “Buy ticket” or “View ticket” or similar would make sense there.

Flux bus is German, I suspect the translation was from German and not English in this case?
So for some context/comparison, here is a peer reviewed, published cross sectional study (the link is not peer reviewed yet, and is a single study pulling from VAERS, which is problematic for a number of reasons) - https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9067/8/7/607/htm

Main finding is that, yes, the risk of cardiac complications in minors seems higher taking the vaccine than not(1). However, they appear all to be minor, transient complications, even when they require a hospital visit (i.e., for monitoring). Whereas the risk of COVID is, obviously, death.

(1) I call out seems because cardiac issues are not usually looked for in minors until/unless they become severe. There is likely more alarm and concern over the recently vaccinated, leading to higher incidents of follow up, and thus, detection, than in the unvaccinated population of years past.
They offer $2000 bounties max. It's no wonder the researcher didn't bother disclosing to them (assuming this is even true) and instead disclosed to downstream companies, that is not a reasonable payment commensurate to the effort and criticality of the finding. Folks are not obligated to donate their time.

Yes, Heaven is thine; but this

Is a world of sweets and sours;

Our flowers are merely—flowers,

And the shadow of thy perfect bliss

Is the sunshine of ours.

Where Israfel

Hath dwelt, and he where I,

He might not sing so wildly well

A mortal melody,

While a bolder note than this might swell

From my lyre within the sky.

> Having your OWN servers and data is very attractive.

This is true for businesses that can justify the cost of self hosting for a variety of business reasons.

This isn't true for most end-users, who just want reliable services. Hence, Wordpress.com vs. self-hosted Wordpress.

I don't want to be personally responsible for my data; I want a professional organization to make sure it is safe.

DDoS attacks like this are usually launched from large number of malware ridden personal computers. Since the attacks are coming from an IP addresses on a residential network they're very hard to differentiate from legitimate traffic.

What's different about this attack is that it appears to not be PCs but network devices (routers) that are being taken over and used to launch attacks.

People are much less likely to catch that this is occurring and as a result there's concerns that this botnet is going to persist as a threat for a much longer time than is typical. Additionally, network devices may have access to a greater amount of bandwidth than a PC increasing the threat.

One more thing: when the botnet makes a request (attack) against a site it's using a modern performance optimization technique of "pipelining" where instead of a GET to "/index.html" just interacting with the index.html file it's holding a connection open to also then request all the other assets from the site. In normal usage this is great as it makes a site feel more responsive and reduces network overhead. However, in the context of this botnet it also increases the number of requests that each bot can make (which is bad).
Of course, but it will cost you a gazillion dollars for this one chip.

Decentralised systems are always more inefficient.

> The most energy you can extract from any type of bomb would be if it was converted to energy at 100% efficiency.

Under normal circumstances, a bomb's energy is endogenous. But in the blog's thought-experiment, the energy is assumed to be exogenous. Therefore, your assumption that "the explosion is bounded by the mass of the person" doesn't apply to this scenario. Instead of TNT, imagine a rubberband.

There is zero evidence that EM signals have anything to do with the insect population issue, and a lot of evidence for more obvious causes: climate change, pesticides, et al.
The most recent exploitation of opensource code comes from Amazon & friends making their own paid, hosted versions of redis, elastic search, mongodb, and so on. And not making any sort of proportionate contribution to the developers - whose free work their profits entirely rely on.

And in this case I’m not sure how gpl helps. With gpl2 you only need to distribute source code if you distribute binaries - so they have no legal obligations there. And Amazon isn’t really making meaningful changes to elasticsearch and friends anyway, so having the license require them to opensource their changes is a bit moot.
Is it strange to think this is a hopeless venture instituted by a terrible, corrupt government, but to also be rooting for it to succeed? If I lived in El Salvador, I would be protesting this as a risky waste of time while enthusiastically participating in it.
