My hunch is that even a cloudformation template would be way beyond the capabilities of most non-software-engineers.

I wish AWS would provide some kind of interface where I can redirect a regular human being to easy-deploy.aws.com/?cloudformation=url-to-my-cloud-formation and they would be presented with a human-readable form that tells them what it will do, sets a hard limit on how much money it will be able to burn through (for protection against crypto-currency mining scams), enter their credit card details and click "Deploy" to start using it.
Yep. Interesting that a 3rd party has developed and released a LiFePO4 battery pack for the Prius [0]. It is cheaper than the OEM NiMH pack. I'm on some Prius forums and it has been interesting to see the amount of detail owners get into, from replacing cells in their OEM packs, to upgrades, to eeking out every bit of performance. Toyota had a huge advantage with their brand and some fanatical customers that they totally blew by not going full EV.

Thoughts?
We just use something like github.com/Masterminds/squirrel in combination with something like github.com/fatih/structs (it's archived, but it's easy code to write) to help with sql query generation, and use github.com/jmoiron/sqlx for easier scanning. I guess it's a little trickier when trying to use postgres specific commands, but we haven't run into many problems.
> Others believe that complexity inherently exists, and you can put it in the language, where a compiler can tirelessly check certain properties for you or a runtime can do magical complicated work on your behalf, or you can put it in the programs, where users have to check such things themselves.

I think we'd all agree there's a spectrum, with, say, Assembly on one end and Idris on the other, where neither Zig nor Rust are near either extreme, and are actually rather close to each other. It's not a matter of accepting or rejecting a principle, but on picking slightly different sweet spots (hopefully) on a tradeoff spectrum.

Rust doesn't check at compile-time most things that could be checked at compile-time. In fact both language check almost the same things at compile-time, and almost the same things at runtime. The design differences come down to one or two things that are clearly tricky and that neither language "does for you" -- i.e. you still need to think about them -- but are, indeed, checked in different ways.

Yes they find it acceptable in the way a slave prostitute finds the client acceptable. I have to use Teams because it is company policy. On my computer such a parody of a program has no place. Using it is an exercise in masochism.

The only parallels are between COVID conspiracy theorists and 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Nearly all federal COVID guidance from the CDC has been well-reasoned and carefully balances public health goals with the reality of life in America. State and local measures have been questionable, but all that says is that state and local governments are not really up to the task and should have universally deferred to the CDC.
A few months ago I was pulled over by police for speeding (in a very rural area). The cop was very polite and handled it well, especially since I was yelling at him quite a bit (family was going into hospital for serious problems, which was the reason for speeding).

He took my info and when he came back to my car after running license, told me "Look, I know you don't like cops. It says that when I pull up your file."

I don't have any idea where they could have gotten that information at all except from my Facebook years ago when I openly voiced that I didn't like cops at the time. Those posts have since been non-public (for years) and now have been deleted this year. I have donated to police in the last couple/few years, so... there's that... which may come to an end.

I sent a FOIA request, requesting as much info as I could get about this clear implementation of a 'social credit' system. They returned the request to me just today saying they didn't have any video on file (convenient!), and included useless standard info like the statute they used to pull me over for speeding and the basic log of the stop. Nothing at all about "I know you don't like cops."

This is clearly a violation of the spirit of 'all men are created equal' and 'innocent until proven guilty' and I find it shocking and dangerous that the police keep opinions of the population on file. I'd like to pursue this further but don't know where to go from here.
OK, what's really going on here. Lots of people have US dollar balances with Coinbase. Right now, Coinbase can't use that money for their own purposes:

USD Wallet. Your USD Wallet allows you to hold and transfer USD with your Coinbase Account as described below. In general, we will combine the balance of your USD Wallet with other customers’ balances and either hold those funds in a custodial account at a U.S. FDIC-insured bank or invest those funds in liquid investments, such as U.S. treasuries, in accordance with state money transmitter laws. Coinbase owns the interest or other earnings on these investments. Pooled customer funds are held apart from Coinbase’s corporate funds and Coinbase will neither use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes.

So there's all that juicy cash lying around that Coinbase can't touch without someone going to jail for theft. But if they can get you to turn on "Lend", they can get their fingers on your money and use it for their own purposes. That's what this is really all about.

Now, remember that Coinbase is behind Tether. Tether is known to not have enough real dollars behind it. Coinbase is evasive about what assets actually back Tether. Tether holders are just creditors of Coinbase. So are people who enabled "Lend". So, by enabling "Lend", you have opted in to the risks of Tether.

What could possibly go wrong?

I feel like you could place it on either side of the fan as long as air is directed to go through it. My personal intuition is filter then fan but I don't see a reason it couldn't go the other way. I wonder why most devices place it on the intake though. Maybe to prevent dust from getting inside a device, but even then it'd only protect the fan from dust. Hmmm...

Hi Michael,

> One thing I’m not sure about though: can you use the metrics outside of the native tool, and if so how?

Cube.js is an open-source analytics framework so you could use it without MLCraft, of course.

> Is this both? If so, some better documentation around how to use the metrics layer would be helpful (or maybe I just didn’t look in the right place).

Yeah, we provide a tool and bunch of must-have features for the metrics store, but the query layer is still cube.js

> some better documentation around how to use the metrics layer would be helpful

we're working on the documentation and it will be published soon. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the reply!

With the speed of modern nvme drives I would much rather hibernate than sleep. The ability to know you can come back in a week to the same amount of battery is way better than saving a couple seconds off resuming from sleep.

If a cop requests your ID, it's a gamble as to whether it's worth your time to assert your rights.
This feels like saying "why not get rid of government funded schools and have children watch Marvel and Disney instead?". The BBC's mission was to "inform, educate and entertain", Disney's and Marvels is more like "entertain, addict and profit". From Wikipedia about the origins of the BBC:

> "The British Broadcasting Corporation came into existence on 1 January 1927, and Reith – newly knighted – was appointed its first Director General.[...] British radio audiences had little choice apart from the upscale programming of the BBC. Reith, an intensely moralistic executive, was in full charge. His goal was to broadcast "All that is best in every department of human knowledge, endeavour and achievement.... The preservation of a high moral tone is obviously of paramount importance." Reith succeeded in building a high wall against an American-style free-for-all in radio in which the goal was to attract the largest audiences and thereby secure the greatest advertising revenue. There was no paid advertising on the BBC; all the revenue came from a tax on receiving sets. Highbrow audiences, however, greatly enjoyed it. At a time when American, Australian and Canadian stations were drawing huge audiences cheering for their local teams with the broadcast of baseball, rugby and hockey, the BBC emphasised service for a national rather than a regional audience. Boat races were well covered along with tennis and horse racing, but the BBC was reluctant to spend its severely limited air time on long football or cricket games, regardless of their popularity."

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC#1927_to_1939

Americans will hate the state telling them what to watch for their own good, many Britons don't like the way it's the Oxbridge upper classes telling the rest of us what to watch, but regardless of that there was some attempt to be more than just entertainment, some values other than ad revenue. Has Marvel, Disney or Netflix made a Tomorrow's World, a Blue Peter, or anything like the Reith Lectures ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reith_Lecture ) ?

> Asserting your right to remain silent during a routine traffic stop where nothing indicates the cop is fishing for something unrelated is more likely to make things worse rather than better.

Even though you'll always get some absolutists arguing against it, this is the proper advice. Admitting to what I've done has gotten me out of multiple traffic tickets.
Just saying thats not answering the question, guys today have so much more, except for more severe inequality over their counterparts.
If I look at various social collapses that people around me have seen in the last century and a half (and there have been many!), then it's clear that while the number in your bank account was not always useful, it did often provide options to protect you from the worst of society falling apart. Other things being equal (of course, often they were not equal) having resources during collapse did matter - sure, it might turn out that some class of your resources became worthless overnight, but generally it wasn't all resources at once; in collapses where land was confiscated by a invading nation, having some gold watches to trade for a way out on a ship were life-saving; in economic collapses where money and stock became near-worthless, having a spare farmhouse was a great benefit, etc.

You do need to diversify to something more than a number at a single institution, but in general, I'd say that it's the other way around - when everything is fine in society, then life is okay even if you're a bit lacking, but when things become hard and not everyone is going to make it, then the have-nots will suffer even more due to lack of options caused by lack of resources. For a crude example, think about the difference between 1930s European Jews who could or could not afford to travel overseas (which was a much more serious expense than now) when things started to become threatening.
> Do you reckon this accessibility is a combination of

Yes, exactly. All of our build pipelines for a repository are included in the .github folder in the root of the repo. It makes it easier for team members to feel comfortable making changes and submitting a PR for them. You can setup an ACT container so you can test GitHub Action changes locally before pushing them too (see https://github.com/nektos/act )

> Out of curiosity, how reliable do you find the environment cleanup is?

So far, environment cleanup has been reliable, but I have noticed where it failed to cleanup some provisioned resources once in a blue moon. I blame this more on our code than GitHub Actions. I periodically review our sandbox environments to ensure we didn't miss deleting anything.

It's already ignoring the fact that Apple is a privately held US company and Germany a sovereign nation. Those are just fundamentally different things.
Not OP, but in our case allowing essentially the entire company to start to use GHA would result in a huge load increase on our GHE deployment. Even with self-hosted runners per org, there is a lot of overhead that is ran on the github servers themselves. We are working towards rolling it out, but there are definitely some scalability issues.
AI Weiwei: Credit Suisse closed bank account over China
So they say it was a different driver or a different car. Or they give a fake Instagram handle. Or they say the post is faked.

If you see evidence of a crime online, you should go and find the perpetrator based on that, not hope that you randomly stop him and find evidence because they are stupid enough to give the right handle.

Also, do you think it's okay for the police to totally ransack your car, because you might carry drugs or a corpse and get "rightfully arrested" because of that? I'm pretty sure you agree this would be over the line, so I don't see why scouring your social media in the hopes of getting a conviction is okay. Especially since this is just a minor extension away from looking through your DMs, and then your WhatsApp chat history ...
Online dating has changed this and you now can find decent sized dating pools anywhere you go. Unless you're very picky of course. You can also increase your matches to say 100 miles. Chances are your match will move in with you because you're already on top of your finances

Especially given that the officers were told by higher-ups, you wouldn't want to press criminal charges against the individual officer anyways - you'd be better off with a civil suit against LAPD.
I disagree for two reasons. The first is that if the traditional upstream stops caring about improvement, it's only reasonable for other parties to move on. And that's largely true with the C ecosystem, as it was with OpenOffice for example.

Second, "extend" has traditionally meant "extend with proprietary code". Think early 2000s Microsoft with browser APIs and J++, or Amazon with their in-house forks of MongoDB, PostgresQL, etc.

There's plenty of innocuous activity that could be called E3 if you stretch the definition that far. Most of the GNU ecosystem for example.
If they did, they did so like 15 years ago, Network Solutions have been scummy for a long time.
Now you've lied to a police officer.

Agreed, this is an infuriating limitation of PATs - I would desperately like to be able to create a PAT with much more finely grained permissions - can only trigger this single REST API for this specific repo for example.

There's a brilliant trick for doing that described here but it's a lot of work to setup: https://blog.thea.codes/building-a-stateless-api-proxy/

You can also create a brand new GitHub user account, grant it access to just a single repository and then create a PAT for that user account - annoying but it does at least let you scope down the permissions a bit.
Yes and no. Laws on when you must identify yourself to officers varies wildly from state to state but social media isn't a part of that. Lawfully refusing will usually be enough, but there are cops who don't care and will arrest you for obstruction (watch YT channels like Audit the Audit, it happens all the time). It looks like this article is about LAPD cops adding this to information they ask for, just like they ask where you're going or if they can look around the car. Just assert your 5th amendment rights and decline to answer questions.

That being said, if you ever end up in court your social media activity is pretty much always discoverable. This is different from an officer demanding it during a traffic stop but still important. It is all accessible.

There are a lot more QR code libraries available, and while they're conceptually very similar, the open source DataMatrix libraries are much less developed and are far less reliable.

- 9/11 was a one-time thing, it only worked because the passengers would assume that as long as they cooperate they would get out alive. Without that "cooperation" 9/11 would have not happened (remember the 4th plane that was brought down because the passengers learned what happened)

- Liquids. There was the potential that someone could mix together some liquids to make an explosive. It never actually happened, and the possibility was solidly debunked later. Yet, our lotion is still taken from us... And dumped right in the garbage near the most populous location in an airport.

- Shoes. One failed attempt. One. Years, later we still need to take our shoes off.

It's a security theater. Some of it obviously necessary, some of it just to make us feel safe.

Meanwhile way more people die on their drive to the airport than from any flight related incidents.

Leading Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei has said he was told by Credit Suisse that his foundation's bank account in Switzerland would be closed over his "criminal record" in China.

The activist, noted for architecture, sculpture and documentaries, has never been convicted of a crime.

Mr Ai, who left China in 2015 and now lives in Portugal, made the comments on website Artnet.

Credit Suisse told the BBC it did not comment on client relationships.

The contemporary artist famously designed the Bird's Nest stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but ran into serious problems after he spoke out against the Chinese government. This saw him spend 81 days in prison in 2011.

In the Artnet article Mr Ai wrote that in spring 2021 he had received a "surprising notice" from Credit Suisse.

"The bank informed me that it was terminating my account in Switzerland. They did this, they wrote, in accordance with a new policy of closing all accounts with people who have had criminal records. They believed (or pretended to believe?) that I had been convicted of a crime in China.

"Just a bit of homework could have shown them that I was never formally charged, let alone convicted of a crime."

Interesting - I find GitLab docs easy to use while I hate GH ones. It takes a long time for me to find the relevant part, even more to determine that this is really all there is, and then some extra to guess which interpretation of the text suits the reality. It has never occured to me that someone might prefer GH docs to GL ones. :)

Obviously cigarette taxes are not exactly the same thing as employment ad requirements. Putting an additional burden in both cases is the same. And Amazon only has power over you because you don't care about my business and care about Amazon's, if you had been a local vendor and I had been your customer your perception had been different. By law I have more power to refuse business than Amazon.

Confused by the comparison of layers to training iterations. How many layers are in the model?
It isn't just proof you passed an exam -- it's also your ID card. The fingerprints are part of your government ID. Here in California you have to give a thumbprint or fingerprint to get both a license and a state issued ID card. The license serves as both proof of passing and as an ID so you don't need two cards.
It's true, and and an awful shame to see. I've donated to both the ACLU and been a member of the NRA in the past, and it's very obvious as someone who has received donor requests that both organizations have become captured by the larger political apparatus of a single party.

I'm also genuinely not trying to engage in 'whataboutism' with this comment, it just really sucks to see public advocates for both the first and the second amendment, surrender their own positions in favor of becoming wholly partisan.
