Quotes from the Cloudflare Q2 earnings call transcript:

We see more and more customers building applications around Cloudflare workers our compute platform. A high-profile new economy delivery company signed a $1.3 million three-year deal. They use a number of our products, but increasingly are building their application using Workers in order to get fast scalable performance. They appreciate the flexibility it provides, as they literally deliver for their geographically distributed customer base.

A financial services software provider signed a three-year $3.3 million deal for a number of our products. They're using Workers as a hyper programmable middleware to stitch together multiple vendor solutions. They love how easy it is for developers on their team to get up and running on the platform, because of the broad programming language support and rich developer tools that have been honed and battle tested in production since Workers launched nearly four years ago.

An Asian fintech provider expanded their use of Cloudflare by $0.5 million, making their annual spend now $1.3 million. They are using Workers to accelerate their development cycle and replace spend with some of the traditional hyperscale compute providers.

So, more than 50,000 developers wrote their first Workers script or code this time [this quarter]. And that's not signed up for an account. That's actually wrote code and deployed an application.

We're increasingly seeing startups that are building entire applications from scratch on the Workers platform.
Inheritance exists.
Their heirs could do precisely that.
I read @horsawlarway's comment as "reusable for the original use" as in how the US used to have glass soda (soft drink) bottles that were collected at stores, returned to the bottler, who would wash them out, refill them with new soda, and put them back out on store shelves or in vending machines.

The return of the empty bottles to the stores was incentivized via a ten cent per bottle "deposit" one made upon purchase, which one received back when one returned the bottle to a store that collected them. This was the mid 1970's as well, so that ten cent deposit would be about 45 cents per bottle today.
I think about this a lot as I recently joined as a mod there this summer.

It is a raw look at the world absolutely through the rose tinted lens of emotion. You know, the ones that turn all flags into red flags or red flags into normal flags.

Misery loves company and at the end of the day I feel that camaraderie despite the doom and gloom. The subreddit is a net positive because it allows people

a)to share and discuss their deepest fears with likeminded individuals
b)to share and discuss how they are coping.

This has an untold value in today’s world, in my honest opinion.

Thinking that society is going to collapse is a matter of timeline. Some people think it is inevitable and maybe coming in a timescale of decades or centuries while others feel that we are already on the roller coaster down and are about to hit the loopy loop. Both views are almost unfathomable without being “too-online.”

My advice if you feel society is becoming too unstable: go on a backcountry camping trip for a few days and chill out. Knowing that that is what life may be like in the worst case scenario future ;).

TLDR; I have seen a community member describe /r/collapse as the other side of the coin of /r/futurology.
Or "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass..."
If we are nitpicking, they can, there is nothing material stopping them. It is "just" at odds with copyright law.

In a society with different laws, there would be no problem. I wonder what would be greater - the productivity gain when we would not have to make workarounds due to licensing, and when we could just legally access the source code of everything. Or the loss, because people might have less incentive to innovate, or they would just keep the source hidden.
I'm excited to try this. I made an attempt at writing a Rust Durable Object a while back and it was cumbersome at the time, so this looks great.

If there's anyone from CloudFlare here, I have a question: does this support WebSockets? At first glance over the docs I don't see an equivalent to WebSocketPair from the JS interface.
He's saying that you have to include the energy you put into the system to remove 1% of the electrons in your E=mc^2 calculation.
Well the data is going to get wiped after you unlock without enough passphrases anyway, so it's kind of pointless - you need a backup. The point of not having recovery codes for the TPM is to ensure the disk is completely unusable if the machine is tampered with - i.e. you have to be forced to unlock that machine, and not a copy, to ensure the data is destroyed. I do wonder if TPM's would detect the use of SATA/PCI-E write blockers (or some elaborate shim system - but again, nation-state level).

Of course this is the real fiction: in reality I'm somewhat too lazy to set all that up for the much more likely scenario of a preventable glitch hosing my system.
It seems Wise (nee TransferWise) doesn't ('yet') support SVC, but assuming you don't actually specifically care about El Salvador, it does support quite a range of not particularly major currencies, and that'd be my answer.

Wise (and competitors, no affiliation just can't recall other names at the moment) are popular/standard in Europe, but as far as I can tell not so much in North America. I don't know why; as far as I can tell it's supported (certainly the currencies are) and allowed?

Of course if you have cash you want sent it's no good, but I'm not sure how many legitimate use cases there are (where you can't deposit in a bank current account first) for that these days.
I believe that individual cores must still be brought up via real mode, etc. even when the UEFI boot otherwise gives you a clean 64-bit environment. So the backward compatibility must still be present.
Exactly this. In True/VeraCrypt, there’s only the possibility of having two keys, the main and hidden one. Just the existence of this feature places everyone using the software in danger (at least people who are potential targets of this type of regime), because if you’re not using the hidden volume, you can’t ever prove it. To be really safe, everyone would need to use both volumes, with the hidden one being empty so it can be proven nothing is in there.

But with something that has an arbitrary number of hidden volumes, you have no way to prove it and they can interrogate you forever.

> Yup -- another business trick is in McDonalds -- the company that supplies the beef in Ireland is called "100% Irish Beef" and thus they put that on the packaging even if the beef doesn't come from Ireland.

Yea, I'm going to call bullshit on that. "100% Irish Beef" is a marketing slogan by Irish beef producers to signify that all of their beef comes from Ireland.
Is it just me or is the incompatibility especially absurd given that perf is currently using libbfd, just 1 step removed via addr2line?

I wonder if a patch to addr2line would be accepted which allows the executable to stay running to accept multiple requests through stdin.
According to Deveraux (article series linked in another comment) they weren't even good at that!
Coreboot is actually 100% free software on Intel sandybridge and Ivybridge laptops, such as the X230.

The Intel ME still performs minor power management functions and minimal init functions via the BUP (BringUp) module.

For all intents and purposes, osboot-preinstalled X230 is 99% as free as a Libreboot system, and I would argue that it is equally secure.

However, the Libreboot X200 is also sold on the website, and Libreboot is fully endorsed by the Free Software Foundation.

Also, while I wouldn't want to redesign (and, Heaven forbid, recertify it with the authorities) the board and software, I wouldn't mind having a part done in a more power efficient way, as long as it's pin-compatible with the old one and done in a way similar enough no recertification is needed.
You said "breaking lockdown rules", not "breaking blackout rules", specifically when contrasting policies that heretofore in the conversation were described as "blackout" and "lockdown".

Though it sounds like you're saying you misspoke, and intended to say that people broke the blackout rules. That makes a lot more sense, thanks for clarifying

Sources for this? I’ve followed Tom’s Hardware for a number of years and they’ve been blasting intel pretty hard lately for their failure to provide competitive offerings in the last gen or two of CPUs:

A "smart contract" is nothing new, it's simply a computer program, and computer programs are already widely used in the financial sector. So that cannot be it.

[Transfer]Wise is typically cheaper than bank to bank, they (the banks) charge relatively heavily (at least for normal retail current accounts) for IBAN/BIC/et al. transfers.

But yes it is possible, and as easy as entering some different/extra numbers compared to intranational sort code/account number transfers.

perhaps a noob question, but why not just allow a bank to open for people with a joint account with one person in US and one in El Salvador?

Person in US deposits money, person in El Salvador withdraws money.

This seems much simpler then making BTC a national currency.
It's much more confusing and stupid than that. You can't rely on the symbol and the number because the forming process used on items like bottles and clamshell packages affects whether they can be recycled or not (which in addition is a function of the local recycling processes, which vary). I found this out because our recycling center posted notices saying that only bottles with narrow necks can be recycled, and if they find more than a fraction of the "wrong" plastic in a batch, it all goes to the landfill.
I don’t think Sparta was as cruel and callous as portrayed.

I think our view of Sparta is influenced by two main things:

1. Spartan propaganda. It was in Sparta’s interest to portray themselves as crazy, devoted warriors who relished the thought of dying for their country. How would you feel going up against a bunch of guys who would rather die on the field of battle than go home in defeat and have their own mothers kill them.

2. We actually don’t have surviving first person Spartan accounts. Most of what we know about the Spartans comes from others- mainly the Athenians. Now the Athenians as bitter rivals to the Spartans also found it in their interest to portray the Spartans as crazy warrior psychopaths.

We know from history that the Spartans actually lost battles. Also in those battles, there were a lot of Spartan survivors who actually surrendered. In addition, we actually have no historical record of any mass killings of losing soldiers by their mothers.

So take what you read about Spartan warriors with a huge grain of salt.
> People may prefer the English experience because they expect the translated version to be inferior

As an Italian, I can relate so much to this, because translated apps will happily treat verbs as adjectives and vice versa. A couple example:

* Flixbus' app translates "Open ticket" to "Biglietto aperto" (treating "open" as an adjective, not as an imperative verb). Correct translation should be "Apri biglietto". Nothing bad, just unnecessarily confusing (what is an "open ticket"? As opposed to a "closed" one?)

* EasyJet's app does the reverse and makes it much worse. The English version likely says something like "Gate close: xx:xx (am|pm)". They mis-translated this as "Gate chiuso: xx:xx", which actually means "Gate has closed", even though the gate is still open. So you get a small heart attack, notice the actual closing time, curse the translators, and go on with your life.
I just have to say I'm very happy with Dokku/Ledokku for my Node/React apps!
IMO, post like 2016, Apple had no such monopoly on ‘premium’ laptops in any capacity. There were better trackpads and keyboards in some, better screens in others, more compute in some, more ability to expand and repair in some, options for touchscreens, etc. …and most laptops were cheaper with flagships from any brand checking a majority of those boxes. Some laptops are even more expensive going well beyond MacBook capabilities if you needed the most color-accurate screens or the most CPU cores or the biggest GPU.

Pick any major brand and they probably have something great.

The only things you really don't get in alternatives is a) the Mac OS and software software & b) better resale value because Apple sells lifestyle products.

> “A lot of the prices for financial services are artificially high due to lack of competition as it is.”

But this is completely independent of any cryptocurrency solutions.

Look at retail stock trading. We now have zero-fee trading, but it’s not because some wonderful blockchain thing happened — new competitors like Robinhood made it the standard across the industry. It wasn’t a technological problem.

Some high-cost services in the USA that seem like technological problems are actually due to insufficient regulation. For example, wire transfers can cost $25 here, whereas they’re free and instant in Europe+UK. This is not because Europe has a magic blockchain — it’s simply the result of EU-level regulation that forced banks to interoperate. (Apparently the Fed is finally doing something similar now, decades late.)

The problems that exist can be solved by markets and regulation. The technology layer of cryptocurrencies is a useless substrate and primarily serves to reenact financial scams from the 20th century.
addr2line already does this, and it's exactly what TFA is making use of to get the speedup.
All CPUs ship with known and unknown security bugs. It’s a pipe dream to think otherwise.
I think copyright is inherited by the heirs (in most cases relatives of the deceased) and carries on quite a long time after death. So the relatives may actually sue you, and any discussion WRT relicensing would have to be addressed to them.

I actually consider putting something into my will that states that all my open-source contributions are relicensed to "public domain" (CC0 [1]) once I die.

Fond memories of running around San Francisco around the year 2000 with my orange translucent Handspring Visor. Sure, it had no radios, but you could put in in a cradle attached to your computer and sync up info from the Internet. There was an app with a built in map and database of restaurants. It was a lightweight, fun-to-use, productivity tool. Brought it everywhere, to all my work meetings, diligently took notes and kept my contacts organized and up-to-date. Good times.
Anything that has radios in it, such as devices with bluetooth, are going to see peak currents in the amps.

I've designed and worked on a number of devices that are very similar to these wrist bands. The typical modes are uA draw for long sleep periods, 10s of mA while collecting data/doing whatever for milliseconds, and 500mA to 2 or 3A for a few hundred ms every once in a while to transmit data.

So low ESR, high power capable batteries are very desirable for this sort of device. Especially when you consider that 2A draw is likely around 20C out of a wearable battery!

Looking at your comment history, it does sound like you registered this user account just to jump on crypto discussions to pump it up.

I am of the opinion that The Matrix probably shouldn't have had a sequel. While parts of the later films were interesting, they depend on retconning Neo from having the ability to re-write the Matrix at its core to basically becoming Goku.

I was really hoping the new movie would be a reboot, as the over-the-top fight scenes and CGI wasn't what made me interested in the series.

Still, could be a fun popcorn move with friends.
Clever.

I'm hoping Lana Wackowski had more creative control (authority) this time. The premise of humans as batteries, because some dweeb studio execs couldn't imagine AI parasites using humans as CPUs, was turrible.

Awaiting the second movie, our office (of nerds) had a strict "no spoilers" policy. Our team was going to the opening that weekend. I trolled a superfan coworker by saying the humans were on a generation ship, kept in suspended animation, and the simulation was meant to keep them sane, but something broke. She was so mad at me. Twice. (Still disappointed she never pranked me in retaliation.)
Nah, the joke is more self-centered than that--it's the answer to a British adolescent's exam question "Name x benefits of Roman rule." No actual Romans would sit around saying "Wait...this is the same word either way, but is it dative or ablative??" either.
I also use fabric bags, most of which were acquired at no-extra-cost when purchasing other things. Some are quite HD and I expect they'll last a decade or more. But, some are quite flimsy and not something I would purchase on its own.

I suspect that HD hemp bags (or some other blend of material) are the best option, but finding a definitive answer isn't easy. It appears the lighter cotton bags need to be used for two decades to account for the cost of farming the cotton - and many won't last that long before they begin to fail.

It’s a thought experiment to teach physics to students rather than a practical idea, so this scenario magically deletes all the specified electrons simultaneously without a chance for the body to discharge gracefully.

Given this wildly implausible conceit, you would explode much as they say.
Network firewalls don't usually work well as a strong control in this scenario, because if the application is hosted in AWS (or GCP, Azure, etc.) then IP addresses of the systems the app is connecting to are constantly changing, can number in the hundreds or thousands, and can often be anywhere in the address space (whether that's private or the public blocks allocated to the provider), so you pretty much need an allow-all rule to all of the subnets that an attacker would care about anyway, because trying to maintain a list of specific IPs is impractical.

There are use cases for network firewalls in cloud environments,but this isn't one of them.
It's the absolute truth.

I couldn’t find anything about it being on hiatus, though it hasn’t had any updates on the spec from the looks of it, assuming I have it right[0]. Though for a spec I don’t feel like that means it’s in hiatus, they tend to move slowly

I may be the odd one out here, but I wasn't that "wow'd" by the trailer. I loved the cinematography of the original films, that seemed to embrace the dystopic vision of a world permanently trapped on the verge of Y2K. I also found myself disappointed to not see Huge Weaving or Lawrence Fishburn in the trailer, perhaps they weren't available?

Either way I'm looking forward to the film and seeing how the setting fares in a modern context, but was just surprised by how different the trailer felt tonally to the originals.
look at the other capacitors. the top is really flat. you can even spot those that start to fail because light will reflect slightly differently on top of them.
so, you are not a business guy huh? lol plus it's more work & cost more to include sockets.
It isn’t easy, but these can help:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-so... has a feature matrix for about 40 licenses

- https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/solution/joinup-... has a comprehensive set of features you might want a license to have, and shows matching licenses.

You still would have to read up on what terms such as “trademark”, “copyright” or “copyleft” mean.
It's obviously not at the same scale as MangaDex, as they provide actual hosting for scanlation groups, but if you want to support the scanlator sites that do have a site - check out Kenmei, which is my take on tracking series you read. It specifically built with scanlator-first approach, so that you actually go and visit their sites, helping them survive long term, instead of hogging the traffic, like Tachiyomi does
