>How can a cop request information in fashion that isn't forceful? The softest, most polite question is backed by the threat of both violence and arrest.

I agree, but also they are pretty well trained in scripts for extracting confessions/assent for searches/etc. People simply don't know the law and there's always the hope you'll catch a break.

If Live PD were still on, you'd notice how often the same phrases are used throughout the US. It all sounds like a lawyer wrote scripts for traffic stops and that those training materials were used nationwide. 'honesty goes with me a long way' 'you are being detained you are not under arrest' or whatever.
If off-premise is an option for you I’d like to suggest a service I run called SurplusCI (surplusci.com). It’s cheaper than self hosting most of the time and is SHOULD be roughly zero toil for you.
Not to mention all the fun and legal ways to work around them: trusts, gifts, life insurance, charitable donations, investing in the family business, etc.
Especially considering ~11 of the Apache Lucene committers are Elastic employees as well as 10 members of the Apache Lucene Project Management Committee.
If it did get lowered to affect normal people it'd only be from the efforts of rich people to poison the well against the taxes.
I'm saying you can't avoid calling toString.

Their code will call console.log(object) every X ticks.

As soon as you open the console, console.log fires instead of early exiting => object.toString is called => they know the console is open
We are doing the transition and everything is just so smooth. Adding new nodes is easy and fast. There's an actually good and consistent UI.

Last time we tried to upgrade our cluster version on AWS we ended up waiting for weeks until it randomly updated mid day on a busy day and broke everything.

It's a ton of small things that really make a difference.
Elastic is welcome to license their code how they want. If they want to write a license that says “to use our code, everything down to the billing stack must be open source”, they’re welcome to. But when they license their code and then throw a tantrum when Amazon uses the code in line with the license, I’ve got no sympathy for them.
I’m skeptical that there is a majority of police who aren’t willing to break the law.

Given how rarely police blow the whistle on other police, I’d say there’s evidence that the majority are actively unlawful.
Nothing. They are doing the exact minimum needed not to complete fall behind.
If they would have been closed source from the get-go, Amazon would have had a far harder time cloning their product or even creating a service based on it to begin with. So yes, this is a consequence of them starting out open source.
Yeah I've heard the endless "Kubernetes is too complicated arguments" but at a glance it's a container deployment/management service that the big three cloud providers all support which makes it close enough to a standard.

Given a long enough time horizon the chance of survival for anyone approaches 0%. At a certain point we got to come to terms with the inevitability of death. It really does not make sense to be performing elaborate, expensive proceedures on the elderly.
It's not the same question, and that's the point of this article. Gravity acts equally on all your particles, so it doesn't cause any disruption (other than that gradient.) Magnetism affects different particles differently, particularly moving ones, as in electrons. The article says how a strong field compresses and deforms electron orbitals, to the point where covalent bonds fail. Field strength alone causes that, not gradient.
Since there is no actual use planned for any power released in this gadget, no maintenance will be performed. When they finish playing, they scrap it, pocket the money, and go their separate ways.

No commercial reactor will ever be built, so this is just for showing off.

The only real good to come from these efforts is employment of plasma fluid physicists. I just hope non-military work can be found for them when this stuff fizzles. Solar Physics is fascinating and important, but has limited budget.
It's from RedHat/IBM. They can give this stuff away to developers because they just want to sell OpenShift to deep pocketed Enterprise customers. And really podman is strategically a defensive move so their Enterprise offerings aren't stuck depending on Docker Inc.

Contrast with Docker, whose business is explicitly focused on "developer tools."
Totally agreed. I don't know why they don't offer PHEV aggressively in 2010s. Possibly shortage of battery is a reason to stick HEV but they should invest for battery at the time.
Because the future of the product now depends on the enterprise customers paying enough for it to not only fund the development but also fund the business backing it.

OSS works best when software is needed by many different enterprises that all need it for their business but it isn’t a direct revenue generator. Because then the future is guaranteed since all of those enterprises will contribute patches and it makes financial sense for any of them to take on the maintainership.

Docker Desktop has always been a single point of failure in development terms not being OSS, but the community of users just got slashed not that there’s a price tag attached to it and by charging Docker has basically said that the future of the product now depends on it turning a profit instead of before when it only depended on Docker Inc overall turning a profit.

Posted article doesn't seem to be accessible right now so apologies if I'm repeating something it says, I couldn't RTFA.

"Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande talks about this. He mentions Stephen Gould's essay, "The Median Isn't The Message," in which Gould says:

> For most situations, however, I prefer the more martial view that death is the ultimate enemy—and I find nothing reproachable in those who rage mightily against the dying of the light.

Which is an idea I think meshes very well with the strategy of chasing low probability , high reward outcomes. Gawande's response makes a lot of sense to me personally:

> There is almost always a long tail of possibility, however thin. What's wrong with looking for it? Nothing, it seems to me, unless it means we have failed to prepare for the outcome that's vastly more probable. The problem is that we have built our medical system and culture around the long tail. We've created a multitrillion-dollar edifice for dispensing the medical equivalent of lottery tickets—and have only the rudiments of a system to prepare patients for the near certainly that those tickets will not win. Hope is not a plan, but hope is our plan.

He also talks about several patients he treated through the years who suffered through futile treatments while trying to become one of the lucky ones and lost what quality of life they might have had in their dwindling time.

I'm glad your sister was one of the lucky ones who had a good outcome as opposed to going through the major surgery and chemo and being one of the 95%. It also seems to me that a different mindset in these sort of situations that educate patients on palliative options and try to make their remaining time as good as it can be would reduce much unnecessary suffering.
Are you so sure that you wouldn't be harmed in an extraordinarily strong gravitational "field", with field lines parallel to your body?

I imagine that the difference in force exerted on your feet vs. your head is significant, in raw Newton's rather than as a percentage. The r^2 is basically constant across the length of your body, compared to M, but it's not actually constant, and when M is so large, I imagine even small changes in r^2 lead to (relative to our scale) large changes in F. Is my intuition wrong?
Even if we can get fusion to work, it will never be economical. Just because the fuel (water) is free, that doesn't make the energy free. The fuel rods for fission power plants are already a rounding error in the cost of energy. It's the capital costs that dominate the equation, and fusion plants will be at least as expensive as fission, which is more expensive per KWh than solar.

I bought my parents a Netatmo weather setup. The one in the house measures temp, CO2 and the one outside temp, humidity.

During Christmas Day visits with only a half dozen people the room CO2 spiked to over 1,000ppm. Older house from the 1970s no HVAC. Opening a window (cross draft) brought it down to 300ppm. The room was stuffy before and great after so it shows how sensitive we humans are to air quality.
That is a wildly misleading statistic.

The divorce rate isn't 2.7 per 1000 marriages, which is what I assumed before clicking on the source, it's 2.7 per 1000 people in the population.

The marriage rate is 6.1 per 1,000 total population, divide one by the other and you find the proportion of marriages that end in divorce: 44%.
So, what are the alternative to Social Media? What if we expand to include TV? Actually "TV" is so 1999; these are all wrong question, the correct question is:

My neighbor was the spokesman for the New Orleans police department. He gave a pretty detailed explanation of how illegal guns are used, and where they come from.

Most of them come from purchases at gun shows (as laws are considerably laxer on private sales). The serial numbers are filed off, then they're hidden in abandoned buildings by a person who rents the guns out to be used in murders. The same illegal guns are typically used in numerous murders, making it more difficult to trace them back to any particular person, if they are found.

I loved the talk from Rusty Russel at linux.conf.au 2014, who wrote/implemented the VirtIO spec originally.

Some good technical detail but also very accessible if you know very little about the topic.

Is it fair to future generations who are yet to be born to write off the possibility of their ever being born because we're selfish and want to live forever? There is some limit to the number of humans we can support on earth, so if everyone is living millions of years (or more realistically let's say hundreds of years) we would have to drastically cut the world's reproduction rates.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like that is the classic hubris of mankind to aspire to become gods. We want to control nature and life, yet our limited knowledge prevents us from understanding the ramifications of our actions until it is too late. (Under a White Sky is an interesting read on the subject)

tl;dr University of Arizona has restored a test greenhouse as the centerpiece for closed ecosystem research [0]. They plan to connect several other closed units to serve as housing and labs. The 'simulation' involves stepping down the use of CO2 scrubbers as they grow more and more plants to convert the atmosphere, with special attention to the entire lifecycle (ex decomposition releases lots of CO2, so they are apt to turn on scrubbers unused during the maturation phase). The program is currently 1/3 funded.

Maybe as we get older, we realize that whatever it was we were doing on social media, it wasn't actually connecting with people.

Before social media you’d sign up to forums and talk to people with similar interests. The smaller communities and purposeful writing was much better. Now it’s just a cesspool of ads and spammers. These platforms are still useful if you highly limit your usage.

I find the best way to use facebook is to join the useful community groups but otherwise do nothing of consequence. Maybe you post a holiday shot of a landscape so your friends in other countries know you’re alive. Otherwise simply don’t engage and sandbox Facebook.

Twitter is fine if you use it more like a news feed. Follow John Carmack or other people with interesting things to say. Again, don’t engage with the platform. It best when smart people send out ideas.

I guess the next space to watch out for is teleconferencing. How long can they provide a free service for personal use?
Its not a lot for a car company of that size. Its less then pretty much every other car company of any size has announced.

Some have announced more then that up to 2025.
The shared part is only for pricing, since renting a full rack for a single server is a bit overkill :)

Going for a rack has the advantage that you own the hardware and can install the anti-tamper measures so that the server can't be turned against you. Anonymity wise, renting a server makes things a lot easier.
I have dreamt about buying some cheap land in the desert and building a giant sealed dome. In theory once "charged" with water, you shouldn't need any more water input, as long as you can condense it out of the air. I imaging a bunch of solar panels outside so I can run A/C or underground heatpump to moderate the temp and "make it rain". Then you can grow some food in there as well and "recycle" your waste products. I doubt I could be fully self-sufficient since a large enough dome would be prohibitively expensive, but would be a pretty cool way to live I think.
Eye opening. I always knew wikipedia editors were a toxic bunch, but I had no idea how passive aggressive the "power editors" could be.
I'm guessing since @athorax mentioned "our GHE deployment" that they're running GHE on-prem instead of using hosted GHE.

I'd be surprised if they were amenable to off-prem Actions runner hosting if they chose to run github on-prem
that is such a good description, I'll be repeating that one!
This is a shallow and poorly written article that doesn't begin to address the issues confronting us. We are being replatformed as a society. Tech companies are addicting us to new ways of connecting. Those same media are sometimes necessary to do our jobs; i.e., the food we are addicted to is also the food we need to survive. Making relapse inevitable.

America, and especially its behaviorally addicted youth, are losing hours per day and hundreds of years of their lives to this crap. And it's not as easy as just saying "I learned to love the difficulty of connecting offline." I don't believe that.

That’s how Red Hat operates mostly. Time will tell if IBM royally messes this up but Red Hat is an upstream first company. If they need something they will put up the developer time but it will be a community project first that they repackage for RHEL.

Red Hat’s secret sauce so to speak is the stupid amount of ongoing work it takes to actually maintain a distro, not the software itself.
In some market, specially high tech rich markets, the adoption is already far, far higher.

The car industry is not the same as the internet. Its not new industry, its a technology shift inside the existing industry.

And plans have to be made 5 years ahead or more, and we know that pretty much every major player is going for EV and most of them have basically stopped working on hydrogen.

The idea that we are are stupid and Toyota is smart ignore all the other companies that together are far larger then Toyota have picked differently. That why I hate the 'oh random guy thinks he knows more then X company'. You literally can not have an opinion without disagreeing with either Toyota or VW.

We see basically no growth in hydrogen vehicles or hydrogen fuel stations, not even announcements of new cars or infrastructure. Building the need infrastructure is a decade long heavy investment project, it doesn't just come out of nowhere.
How many employees does Docker has/had? I feel like if I got a couple hundred million dollars in funding, I could make it last many many years, producing what Docker has produced. But of course this feeling isn't based on any entrepeneurial experience, so I'm probably wrong. But that seems like an awful lot of money to shoot through.

> I guess the problem was they didn't realize why Kubernetes needs to be that complicated.

Does it?

It seems like there are three kinds of complexity involved here: the essential complexity of the total problem set, the essential complexity of a specific company's problems, and the amount of complexity experienced by a user as they try to solve those problems.

Let's stipulate that Kubernetes needs to be that complicated for Google's needs. I'm not totally sure that's true, but let's pretend for now. So we'll say you're right for the first kind.

But I'm still not seeing it for the other two.

For modest deployment efforts, Kubernetes is a giant pain in the ass. It's just way more complicated than needed for many non-Google use cases. I tried setting up Kubernetes for a bunch of personal stuff I run and it was egregious overkill. I persisted until my home lighting system went dark because some internal Kubernetes keys expired and it decided that just not working was a good failure mode. Last time I mentioned this on HN several people said, well duh, obviously you shouldn't run it just for yourself. And that's fine; every technology has an expected operational envelope. But there are an awful lot of projects out there that have between 0.0 and 0.5 sysadmins. For them it's too complex. Kubernetes is just too complex for many people's needs.

And the other side of that is complexity of experience. Modern processors are fantastically complicated. I'm on a mailing list for people in finance who micro-optimize everything to maximize response speed. Those people know incredible amounts about exactly what different processors do. And they have to. But most working developers know about 1% of that because a lot of people work very hard to hide the complexity from them. I don't think that really happened with Kubernetes.

At this point, it is what it is. It's much easier to scale a technology up than down, so I expect it'll always be like this. But For whatever comes after Kubernetes, I'd like to see much more attention paid to more common use cases.
So you would rather die, and let everybody who live now die, for the sake of the potential future generation?
Also I want to add... I had a feature on the site from day one that would let players set their own deposit limits through any date they chose. Once set, the limits could not be raised or revoked through that date, and any coin they sent beyond the limit would automatically be sent back. This was prominently displayed on the website along with an entire section of problem gambling resources. Some users did use it. Others I would put into the system involuntarily. The average rake on my non-poker games was about 2.5%, and some of the puzzle games I designed had a theoretical >100% payout if you could, e.g., solve a randomly spun Rubik's cube consistently in under 60 seconds. (No one ever hit over 100% on that one over time, though. If I had ever come across anything like that I would have written a bot to solve it... and I was waiting for a player to do so, so I could make them a partner).
There will be no need for NIMBY: fusion power is necessarily 100x+ more costly than solar + storage.

The only real open question is how long the gravy train will run before the plug is pulled. F-35 and SLS have demonstrated that with careful management, that can be longer than anyone could have believed.
