I have been interviewed by the police, actually, many years ago. I was 20-something and had long hair and a shitty attitude. I stuck to my guns and told them nothing. It cost me some time, but nothing else. Now, I was privileged in some ways that others are not (ethnicity, location), so some of my good outcome was luck.

So no, I'm not at all disregarding police coercion. However it has not, does not, and will not convince me to surrender my rights.

If you'll forgive me for saying so, your response also is a symptom of living in a police state: regardless of what is right or legal, you expect the police to act with disregard for it and to suffer no consequence for their actions. It's a common-enough belief, but is not universal in civilized societies. This is wrong, nearly as wrong as anything can be in a democracy.
My experience is mostly with x86, where the answer is a definitive "no"; for ARM, my guess is "likely no" --- it's a RISC, so instruction selection isn't as critical, and all instructions are fixed-width so again there isn't as much flexibility in instruction selection (e.g. in x86 a "xor reg, reg" is the canonical way to zero a register, and explicit loading with a constant 0 is very much discouraged and a few bytes bigger, even compilers know about that now.) That said, I've also seen compilers do ridiculous stupid things which no human ever would.
Google certainly didn't support Amazon forking Android into FireOS. I believe that was just about when Google began migrating tons of APIs from the Android OS to Google Play Services.
And we see how this has worked out for abortion. The 0.10% case of either saving a woman's life or in cases of rape and incest as turned into the justification for aborting 189 babies for every 1000 live births -- or in the african american community 487 babies for every 1000 live births.

Once you open the flood gates, you will have plenty who kill themselves who otherwise wouldn't with just a little bit of extra support.
Fusion doesn’t have the stigma of fission, or a lot of the risks, and so if we can get to a point where we are actually building new fusion reactors, we should assume the technology will improve rapidly.
Yeah, Facebook is clearly the Publisher.
This is one of those rare situations where I can see both sides and I'm thankful I don't have to make the decisions Elastic.co did. Most open source companies don't have to worry too much about competitors grabbing their code and forking it because they have the expertise needed to improve and support it and there isn't much incentive for customers to leave them. But this is Amazon we're talking about. They can package up the code and charge next to nothing for it (not that they are doing that) and make their money on compute and bandwidth charges.

That said I wish Elastic had chosen a better license and I wish they wouldn't charge for basic security options like SAML, RBAC, and encryption.

edit: And IIRC this all started because Amazon added authentication and RBAC to open source ELK and tried to submit the changes back to Elastic, which rejected them.

Anybody looking at numbers sees fusion never, ever producing so much as a single erg of commercially viable energy. So, anybody saying otherwise is simply making it up.
> It said that religious establishments can’t be treated differently than similarly situated secular establishments.

In that case worship centers should be treated equally. Certainly not given extra leeway or scrutiny.

> Freedom of religion is a bedrock principle of the Constitution...

Indeed, yet it stops when ones freedom of religion would cause harm to others.
Possibly, I didn't refute that (and I actually agree). However, the point that this fork would likely not have happened without them being open source is completely valid.

Still an active field of study but your intuition seems to be right. One study is here [1]. Combustible “types” of PM are usually worse (think smoke / carbon) vs. vaporous types of PM. The method of action is hypothesized to be the carbon particulate getting lodged in your lungs (similar problems from smoking, carbon nanotube inhalation, or charred foods).

They just bet multiple energy sources rather than single. Should it be blamed? But I still want they to bet EV more.

No, my point is that I personally am very afraid of death, and would fight death from the selfish reasons.

People who support the notion of death seem not to constantly fear it themselves, but view it as something hypothetical, that they wouldn't have to face themselves in the near future (likely several decades).

Couldn't the same thing be said about current fission reactors?

I get that fusion doesn't have the downsides of fission... but I'm also worried that people will be "scared" of fusion in the same way they're against GMO vegetables and irradiated fruits, totally irrationally...

Lets go through the "evidence" you've provided.

> Wired discusses patent restriction here

It doesn't. That paragraph is a quote from Yashar Behzadi, the disgraced ex-CEO of Popslate that stole the money of their indiegogo funders. "Popslate shuts down after raising $1m on Indiegogo". http://oaxis.com/en/popslate-shuts-1m-indiegogo/

> Just look at the relevant patents still being filed by the company here (mostly trash)

I'm not going to debate that with you. But I'm sure you'll consider a patent filed by IBM on linked lists as innovative?

> See patent suits across the globe - Germany:

Yes, good, they lost a patent suit against a 3rd party buyer. I think that indicates the legal system is working properly.

> Here is the position for their patent lawyer,

And what is wrong with that? What exactly is objectionable there?

> Here are articles discussing the 115k yearly buy-in for their tech

Except you've managed to confuse E Ink with the MIT MediaLab Consortium. "MIT Media Lab's News in the Future group and its Things that Think consortium, which consists of about 40 companies, including Microsoft and other heavyweights.
Each of the participating corporations paid up to €115,000 per year and thus obtains the right to use any patents awarded to MIT without paying additional royalties. "

I haven't seen such a rapid increase.

I remember you used the term "bullshit" to describe my opinions. I've read through your initial claims that were presented with such confidence that any reader would assume they were gospel truth. It is clear to me now that Dunning Kruger is quite in effect with your claims.
One of the arguments is that if battery production is limited it's better to spread the batteries out over a larger number of vehicles.

For example, the RAV4 Hybrid has a 1.6KWH battery (and NiMH to boot), the RAV4 Prime (plug-in with 42 miles of EV range) has a 16KWH battery, a similar Model Y has an 75 KWH battery.

Hey HN,

Today we are launching Light AI. You can think of Light AI like AWS for low-code. Today there are so many tools you can choose from when building a low-code app. However these combination of tools are prone to security, performance and reliability issues.

We have condensed most, but not all, of these tools into a single API. We are focused on improving performance, reducing technical debt and making it very simple to stack up backend architecture and cloud services in minutes with a single line of code.

These are formerly-homeless people's homes. It's not a "shelter" you might traditionally think of, it's a block of apartments that people live in.

It's a social housing project, and probably there is a relatively high proportion of residents with mental health issues, but that does not mean they forfeit their fundamental rights. Or rather, it should not: the exact same slippery slope argument has been used countless times in the past to strip people of their freedom, privacy, autonomy, and to take their children away from them.
I don't know how much this still applies, but in the 80s and 90s it also seemed like doctors and nurses smoked a lot more than the average population. Maybe it just seemed that way because you just saw them outside hospitals smoking in groups, but I remember driving by a childrens hospital once, and my father, an ex-smoker, saying they were all out there because they were accustomed to seeing death and weren't afraid of it.
their website is terrible. even if i stumble across a post in my desktop that i want to read ill try search for it on my phone instead because their site works better on (third party) mobile apps.

Do you have a source for this? I don't believe it is true. Diamagnetism is a fundamental quantum mechanical property related to the quantum mechanical analog to the Lorentz force. Spin 1/2 electrons have exactly 2 states: opposing or attracting a static magnetic field, regardless of direction of the field or orientation of the particle.

When all electrons are paired (and the spin fields cancel), all that is left is that Lorentz force and you get diamagnetism. Otherwise, you generally get paramagnetism (attractive because of the net dipole created by net spin).

Yep, that’s the main downside. pggen works out of the box with Docker under the hood if you give it some schema files. Notably, the recommended way to run sqlc also requires Docker.

I check in the generated code so I only run pggen at dev time, not build time. I do intend to move to build time codegen with Bazel but I built out tooling to launch new instances of Bazel managed Postgres in 200 ms so not that painful.

More advanced database setups can point pggen at a running instance of Postgres meaning you can bring your own database which is important to support custom extensions and advanced database hackery.
I would not put it past people to cause accessing the website via browser to randomly have more errors or slowdowns in order to get people to try the app and then show people a better experience on it.

No, it was DockerCon EU, December 4-5, 2014 -- and the Docker folks very much believed that it was deliberately timed to their flight several days prior. Unknowable now as that may be, there is no question that Rocket took deliberate aim at Docker -- and timing its announcement to upstage DockerCon is frankly only marginally less petty than timing it to a transoceanic flight. Lest I be seen as defending Docker, Inc. or DockerCon: this is also the only conference that removed a presentation of mine because they didn't like presentations that had more views than their keynotes. So Docker Inc. very much made their own bed, and I understand how Alex and CoreOS got to the point they got to -- but it doesn't mean that they were any more sympathetic in the resulting spat...

i suspect diversion from the humiliatingly bungled vaccination procurement effort plays into the calculus, shifting anger towards something nominally defensible instead of protracted incompetence
Ah you're absolutely right -- I mistook the "overhead" as running some actions on regular GHA but they were talking about overhead on the on-prem runners that already exist.

Yeah it's pretty unlikely that they're running GHE for any other reason than needing to keep everything on prem.
So it's distributed blue checkmark verification by the people for the people. Interesting but I'm not sure how a distributed social network can work or how this stamp system will always benefit me considering how the system can be used/abused.

The way you say social forwards might work suggest your system would make it so what happened to Trump can't happen to anyone else, that he would "own" his followership, take it with him, so it can't be taken away. That's a nice idea but that would require the social network to allow (or not disallow) this open distributed checkmark system in some form, wouldn't it? If allowed, this would only encourage the exiled party to create a new account 1:1 on their system, effectively hindering their own moderation efforts. Aren't the social networks just more likely to share their stamp blacklist now it's so accurate? Then imagine how hard it is to appeal a distributed blacklist.

Even on traditional social media, you move to a new HN profile after being banned, you can never prove you are the same identity again on HN because HN will just ban you again after looking up your stamp regularly. Unless I am misunderstanding, using stamp means I would lose power across the board on pseudo-anonymous social network providers by revealing who I am even once. Quite the disincentive there. Even a phone-validated email requirement seems better long-term in a ban happy world because sim cards obscure private data, are easily obtained, and email chains discreetly.
The death rate for Covid in even a fully vaccinated population is somewhere between 2 to 8 per million per day given Israel's current figures. Which means from 700 to 3000 deaths per million per year.

I was recently locked in a hotel room for 2 weeks in Sydney because I flew in from Canada.

During that time, I was allowed to order only 6 beers or one bottle of wine per day. If I ordered more (with door dash or whatever) the front desk would hold it and only deliver the allowed amount per day.

Out of spite I was tempted to order 6 beers each and every day, then drink them all on the last day!
The way I handle shiploads of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) its already hurt somebody's feelings. That is not the intention. This is basically the most alkaline sodium chemical.

This stuff is strong in concentrated form even though the food grade product will be (hopefully) precisely diluted by orders of magnitude simply to adjust pH. Once the hydroxide becomes neutralized it's water, and such little amounts end up in each serving that's accepted as a harmless amount of additional sodium among the nutrients.

But at 50% strength it's industrial caustic soda and it more or less dissolves tissue.

This is the lye often used as drain cleaner to unclog greasy stoppages by turning the lard into water-soluble soap.

Anyway along with the carbonates the working pH in the dishwasher is so alkaline that it would slightly dissolve some glassware, especially the softer glasses and this is the kind of damage that can look like there is residue, but it will not wash off because the glass is etched. To prevent that this Cascade formula has sodium silicate so there is already some soluble silica in the bath inhibiting the uptake of more from your glassware.

The acrylates are like a micro-thin finish, so it's like a car being both washed and waxed.
The fact that they grew despite Amazon doesn't mean that AWS Elasticsearch wasn't a viable competitor. It just means that at the moment it was not an existential threat.

However, when competing with a literally A in FAANG, one must be very careful about writing them off.

To compare, I knew a company that 10 years ago made really great business intelligence integrations into Excel. They'd operated for 15+ years and were a major local employer. They thought Palantir was going to be their competitor, but then Microsoft came out with Power BI.

At first, revenue grew because Microsoft's marketing shined a great spotlight on the field (plus MS had only entered because the field was growing in the first place). Then as the situation matured, MS's capacity to offer integrations to the rest of the stack became a key sales point.

Like AWS, the point of investing in their stack isn't one particular product but the fact that all the billing, support, and integrations happen via one company.

You can even accept it if any particular product is deficient (e.g., some say that about Teams or Skype), but in the case of an open-source product like Elastic--the value of the software itself is 100% the same.

AWS was going to eventually kill Elastic. Not just because of all I wrote above, but also because Elastic's got a significant part of its revenue by selling Elastic as a distribution on top of AWS. Anyone would want to cut out the middleman and simply use AWS's version even if it lagged behind the current Elastic.
There is so much focus on people who haven't been vaccinated... I'd like to see some clear information about what is going on with the increase in cases and hospitalizations. Are these overwhelmingly unvaccinated people or is there a big breakthrough infection component? In regions with high vaccination rates, is covid much less of a problem.

I'm suspicion these "surges" are really just because people didn't get vaccinated, and instead of focusing attention on addressing its spreading, we're holding up vaccination as some kind of talisman that is not actually making a big difference. But I'd like to be wrong, and feel we can all be comfortable as long as we're vaccinated. Anyway, I think the messaging has become very muddied.

(I hate to have to add this, but yes I am vaccinated)
