Those appeared in 1937, so they're very old tech; it would be fun to have a pocket version.

They've since disappeared and been replaced by touch screens, but those are just not the same.

I live in Logan, another test area in Australia. The drones are relatively quite. Surprisingly so. Generally can’t hear them inside the house. Sometimes I will notice them when they are a few houses away if I’m outside. I rarely take notice of them now and I don’t find them distracting. They seem to fly quite high too.
The hospitals never actually collapsed. I remember this at the time - there were many reports claiming they were about to totally run out of beds, and this kept being upgraded by commenters into "they have already run out". I kept asking for links that proved this and not getting any. Later some patients got moved to hospitals in Germany but there was some odd stuff about it: an Italian politician was demanding to know why patients were being moved there when there were nearby hospitals in Lombardy with spare beds.

Overall the idea the hospitals collapsed seems to have been a form of telephone game exaggeration, egged on by media reports claiming there were so many bodies they were piling up (actuality: undertakers were refusing to touch bodies because they are mostly old and had been told it would kill them).

What did collapse were care homes. But not because of COVID. Staff fled in fear, often back home to Eastern Europe before the borders closed, leaving too many elderly to die of dehydration and abandonment.
What are we becoming, getting cofee deliverd by drone.
> How did something like this even get funded?

I believe that it's "too much money sloshing around".
We wholeheartedly agree and that is why we are building an open-source, self-hosted option which you can run yourself, inside your own network with strong audit and version control of policies. There are no calls to the mothership or anything like that. Everything is self-contained and your downtime is entirely yours to manage. Having a traffic spike? Just spin up another Cerbos instance immediately. You don’t have to contact us, pay any extra fees and go through a support channel to increase your capacity.
Correct, there is a big difference to what is "said" and what is "done". There is no measurement in the Wahlomat that compares previous goals and success rates (e.g. for those parties who were in the coalition that ruled the last 20 years). Perhaps this can be best framed under the term "trustworthiness". But it also somehow applies to other parties: AfD has a pretty low trustworthiness because their goals and actions are often entirely contradictory - e.g. in their election program, they say they are for "transparency", but their party financing is the most intransparent of all.
In Europe the Masters degree is now just a continuation of the Bachelor. Most people do 5 years straight at university to get both, as that's what everyone else does. I got a BSc and learnt Mandarin instead of getting an MSc.
" There's no other reason to use it, except maybe paranoia or technical curiosity,"

How about idealism?

I mean 20 years ago, you would have been declared paranoid, if you said secret government agencies and big corporations track everything you do online - but now you just speak a inconvinient truth, most people are aware of, but try to ignore it as much as possible.

It is good, to have working alternative plattforms, in case there are really needed by us in the west.

But yeah, currently I do not use them either, because my last experience with them were "dark", too.
Because yes, the strongest incentive right now have those people not acting out of idealism, but because their content is not tolerated on the open web. Quite a shitty situation. How do one establish a "alternative, anonymous" communication service, without attracting all the kicked out elsewhere btards first?
Or any company that prefers buybacks over dividends.

Economically, they are the same. But they are taxed differently in many jurisdictions.

(Though in the case of buybacks, the shares you got as an employee are worth something, if the buyback is done as something like an auction.)
I'm not sure your average raven is smarter than your average human, but Corvids are *very* intelligent.

If they've figured out the drones drop food when attacked then they'll keep attacking, and teach others of their species to do it too.
Yes, the Labour party is quite clueless in this regard, and also Corbyn probably genuinely did not like the EU. I don't think any of the remaining big left European parties are as naive as this.
This is a popular fantasy, but I don't think it is true. People today are already voting for parties that increase tax on them and decrease it for others. Many people vote for things that are not directly benefiting them or are even bad for them, both consciously and out of ignorance.

I vote green/left, although they tax me higher, because I think climate change and social justice is more important than whether or not I have 1k per year more or less.
Very good article. I have seen several modernization programs taking way too long because of a much too large scope. Making it smaller gives one the ability to adjust goals while one is going and, most importantly, one can keep delivering software.

What I do wonder about when I see the author list is whether everybody at Thoughtworks is a 'Technical Director'.....
Adding references to relevant sections of the party programs is an interesting idea (especially with your example) to display the discrepancies that sometimes arise between votes and programs.
But that would be a lot of work on top and one would probably have to add a bunch of links for every single vote and claim in the program.
We will focus on what DeinWal does.
Seems like manufactured outrage from France for the benefit of its electorate. The UK and US are entirely innocent. They have no standing in the Australia-France contract, and the burden of informing France of the cancellation clause being invoked falls entirely on Australia - if they failed to do so and France feels peeved, they should take that up with Australia. The UK and US are entirely irrelevant.

Even by the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" standard of morality - France would do exactly the same as the UK and US have if the shoe was on the other foot.

I do wonder to what extent if any France being instrumental in interdicting vaccines bound for Australia in March had on this outcome. I recall that around the same time the UK exported vaccines to Australia (see [1] ). Given it was Australia that approached the UK to initiate this deal towards the end of march, it may not have been the smartest move by France to demonstrate that they are not reliable and are perfectly willing to shaft Australia when the chips are down.

But of course we don't know if there was any relation at all between those events, the timings are suspicious tho.

So in the footage it looks just like when the crows and other birds mob birds of prey. So presumably the raven is mistaking the drone for a predator.

It will be interesting if the ravens soon determine the drone itself is no threat, but that drones carry food...
> lobby to get the EU - Australia free trade agreement severely limited then carry on as usual

This type of response always baffles me. Australia here is not buying what France is selling. If they object to that, making it harder for Australians to buy other things France is selling is the opposite of clever.

And in reverse - Australia sells food and raw materials. Under what circumstances is it bad for France to trade bits of paper for actually useful physical goods?

Restricting trade is cutting of the nose to spite the face. Australia sells commodities, we don't care if any individual block trades with us. China tried clamping down on trade with Australia and it didn't achieve much. They've got to buy from someone else, that someone else's customers becomes Australia's customers.

Well, it's better than driving to the coffee place and back, I guess.
What’s the strategy that was wiped ? AFAICT this is about a canceled contract and the secrecy of the negotiations.

The French strategy can’t possible be based on selling submarines to a continent country bordering its atolls
> I'm curious - why is there no open source solution to replace these apps? If not with full functionality, then at least with 80% of the features?

Who would benefit from that? Delivery companies offer a simple and practical way to process orders and payments. Restaurant chains can and do provide their own in-house delivery services. The added-value is not the software infrastructure but the service that's provided.

What exactly is the value proposition of open-sourcing a platform?
The comment section is absolutely hilarious. Defs read it.
fascinating read
Title should be changed to article's: Mac to MAC (this is about ethernet MAC addresses, not macOS computers)
Wait until one of the raven manage to actually shut down a drone. These birds are very intelligent and absolutely capable of sharing their attack strategy with each other. Even better if there is a big payoff (food) as reward.

They might even put the entire business at risk.
I'd rather build a much simpler bike with the parts - the chip won't do a thing. Heck even the battery pack and the brushless motor + the frame are fine on their right own.
Walmart cannot be compared to the USA or China for sure, but your criticism is a little pedantic and presumptuous. There are national economies that are in the same order of magnitude as, or smaller than, that of Walmart's.
I showed that this is incorrect here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28587930

> You go to jail because what you said is actually a crime to say

Sounds like the US. Just look at all these people who went to jail for crimes related to illegal numbers (eg. piracy). Or people like Mildred Gillars. Or the various whistleblowers.
They've already been working on this with India [1]. They have been working on building partnerships in the region for years, with a focus on India and Australia.

This is why they are deeply pissed off beyond the loss of this submarines deal. Basically the US have 'torpedoed' a big part of their long term strategy here.

That blockly games site is really nice, I think my kids have done scratch mini at school. I'm not really sure I want to "help" my kids to learn to program really, I'm more keen to see what they are into and then encourage them if they need help (but I'd prefer them to do it themselves).

I always preferred the stuff I discovered myself, which was mainly coding/games/computer art and music/guitar. Apart from buying me stuff occasionally, my parents mainly left me to it without too many other distractions.
Yes, and that's where I started looking: Upwork, Freelancer.com, Malt, Lemon.io. However, I find it hard to find the "jack of all trades" type of character I'm looking for. Freelancers nowadays are specialized in a small subset of technologies where they enjoy the most working on. It often does not go well with the quick&dirty hacker image that I'm looking for.

But maybe there's some place where this type of hackers hang out/advertize themselves?
Those birds are a lot smarter than the people ordering coffee to be delivered by drone.
I'm not sure I agree with this, I had a great time playing Rimworld. It might not be to your taste, but it doesn't feel like there's any objective sacrifice to gameplay just for the sake of making the stories better - are there particular design choices you're thinking of?.

Although I do get a nagging feeling that I would get more out of playing Dwarf Fortress instead every time I play Rimworld, and usually end up binging that for much longer.
It's a shame they don't explain the weighted version, and neither does the linked talk.

The way weighted rendezvous hashing works is really beautiful, and easy enough to derive semi-formally to explain in a short blog post.

Some nice pointers, well done to the author for keeping up with it.

I would love to see similar tips adapted for parents of small children. Ones that start with “I wake up at 6 am by my toddler who just woke up, is already going 100% and wants to play Snow White”. Or “I break my fast at 11 am because I didn’t have time to eat before, and then I forgot”.

I find myself using the phone to just switch off my mind from the usual overdrive of looking after kids, it’s probably not healthy but a tired mind craves something outside of toys and child dramas.
That's a good point. "Long-term" may be overly optimistic. A 6-12mo companion would already be great.

That's why I don't understand center-left people not voting left. As if any other party would be willing to implement the program of the social democrats.

I truly believe that the outbreak of socialism within the first four years is baseless fear-mongering.
> One article said that the France contract was about 7 bil per diesel sub, while the new one will be 4 bil per nuclear sub

Both of those are wrong.

> Is it possible that France though that Aus had no alternative and ran the price up?

No, there was an official procedure with multiple candidates ( France, Japan and a third one I can't recall). Australia chose the French option, even though it required significant modifications to a nuclear design to make it diesel electric.

> I can't imagine how you can justify 7 bil for a diesel sub

Furthermore, the contract included significant know-how transfers and construction in Australia, so whatever the price per sub turned out to be, it wouldn't be for the subs alone.

As for why the 4 bil per sub is wrong - they haven't decided anything. They don't know the design, upon what it will be based ( the smaller UK Astute class or the bigger US Virginias), etc. Lots of infrastructure needs to be built, and people have to be trained since Australia has no nuclear sector to speak of. So any price projection as of today is purely theoretical.

Oh and the first subs under the new contract should be available in 2040, so probably a decade later. That's a long time.
Thanks, definitely valuable feedback! I see what you mean about the security image, we're fixing it now.
Much more likely that the standard optimism that runs through people when they are starting new projects lead them to dramatically underestimate the difficulty of the project - which ended up being "design a new sub from scratch" instead of the intention, which was "lightly modify an existing design"

> [...] and there is no moat to protect them from competition.

The moat might come: there's always pressure for more regulation. Once a company is established, it can yield to that pressure and even actively invite more regulation.

Thanks to regulatory capture, regulation often acts as a moat for incumbents.
The nest must be near. Instead of torturing the birds every single day because you want your coffee(or you just enjoy torturing birds) you can change your reception point 20 meters or so and probably the attacks will stop.

I have done speleology on things like old mines and had attacks from small birds to big ones like vultures and eagles that make their nest on the mine. I have marks on my helmet from that.

It is very interesting how small birds will pretend to have a broken leg or wing just to divert your attention from the nest.

I also have seen eagles attack friends' macaws in the open space or a group of magpies attacking an enormous eagle.

The animal world is not as peaceful as some people believe.
So what's different between Peertube and Youtube, is that Youtube is a single entity with considerable hosting/network resources. They are building their own CDN (developing points of presence across continents), which makes their infra expensive to run, and also reproduces real-world power imbalances such as access to Youtube being real slow (or even impossible) from some countries/regions (eg. sub-Saharan Africa).

Peertube, on the other hand, encourages distribution of content in a peer-to-peer manner. As a person, you can use your favorite Webtorrent [0] client to help seed content from far away servers to your neighbors. As an instance operator, you can opt-in to seeding for another instance (with a disk quota limit) from your own network, helping videos published on the other side of the world reach your local audience.

Example: take three hypothetical FLOSS-oriented instances floss.fr (France) floss.cn (China) and floss.ml (Mali). If those instances all "follow" one another, with sufficient disk quotas, all videos will be replicated across the 3 servers, and video streaming will be smooth from those 3 locations (and neighboring regions).

In all cases, even when initial streaming is slow, Webtorrent scales well because most clients (unless they opt-out) will seed videos via Webtorrent protocol (WebRTC + STUN) so as a video becomes more popular it becomes easier/faster to access without placing the infrastructure/economic burden on the Peertube instance. Clever stuff.

[0] There is a reference Webtorrent client, but libtorrent recently started implementing Webtorrent support so that should become more broadly available "soon".
How has the French pacific strategy been wiped out? What was it?
> There is plenty to gain through the diplomatic route as long as you see China as an equal partner and not an inferior country.

Does China see other countries as equal partners? Their Howling Wolf diplomacy seems to kick in whenever anything they dislike appears in any media. See their current hatefest against Lithuania, a country with population smaller than Shanghai.

I for one am not very ready to sacrifice, e.g. freedom to criticize the Chinese system or to say that Taiwan is Taiwan and not Chinese Taipei or whatever. And I do not trust China commercially either, given their history of copying everything and then flooding markets with cheap knock-offs to undermine the original producers.

We have a load of our own problems here in the West, but we can at least discuss them mostly freely and the authoritarian developments (governmental and distributed alike) tend to get some pushback and dissent, and the dissidents do not end up in jail or shot. These are not the values of Xi's China and any partnership with it will end in Beijing dictating their demands.
Lets not pretend this was a mighty backstabbing by everyone else who france treated with nothing but kindness. I can't speak much for the US or Aus, but I wouldn't call them on good terms with the UK, beyond even the historical jibes.

I'm sure this is bad for France, don't get me wrong, but in terms of how their allies acted, its not particularly shocking or even abnormal.
Actually I remember a similar case a couple of years ago here in Greece. A woman lied about various scientific credentials and even claimed that she worked for NASA (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleni_Antoniadou).

The problem with that case is not only that she lied, but that everybody blindly believed her without checking any of her claims. She was interviewed by the media, was awarded various awards (for her "research") and was invited as a member to scientific comittees! They even made a barbie dοll modeled on her! Even more outrageous was that the greek gonvermnent and government-controlled media used her as an example of achievement to pass some kind of funny "being the best (αριστεία in greek)" agenda.

We are either talking past each other, or you are missing the point. In the Monty Hall problem it's not 50:50. Really. It's not.

* There are three door, one conceals a prize;

* You choose one door;

* The host, knowing where the prize is, opens one of the other doors to reveal a non-prize;

* You have the option to stick with your choice, or to switch;

* If you stick, your probability of having the prize is 1/3;

* If you switch, your probability of having the prize is 2/3.

There's enough discussion elsewhere, or you can write your own simulation (but make sure you simulate the right thing, and not something different).

As others have pointed out, you need to know in advance that (a) the host will always open another door, (b) the host knows where the prize is located, and (c) the host will never reveal the prize.

But given that, the odds really are not 50:50.
Still better than driving a big SUV I guess...
