That's not the big difference.

The big difference is as philistine implies: the two US parties are dramatically more democratic internally, so there is just far less need for people to create new parties to begin with. By world standards the Democrats and Republicans are barely coherent parties at all. For instance they barely have any manifesto, instead presidents have manifestos, but that's meaningless if the party members don't agree hence why shit is always being "blocked by Congress" in the USA when you rarely see that in other countries. The two US parties are more like vague semi-stable alliances of people who don't really agree on much, that happen to march under a shared flag for the sake of convenience and due to FPTP.

Another difference: an outsider who isn't even a party member or who was actually a member of the opposing party, simply cannot run in open primaries in most countries. Yet both Sanders and Trump did this. Nor can they take over the party against the will of the representatives themselves, which is what Trump did. The closest equivalent in Parliamentary systems was Corbyn, which occurred the moment the rules were loosened to allow more open voting for who leads the party, and that nearly destroyed Labour. They have now changed the rules to re-establish the power of the MPs over Party leadership.

The USA will see more parties appear and compete if/when the two big parties develop internal cohesion, for example by insisting that the party leader/president is picked by Congress alone, and in which Congress members who defy the party line are kicked out of that party. Otherwise it's kind of meaningless to try and create a new party in the USA when the existing parties don't actually stand for anything to begin with. It makes far more sense to try and take one of them over.
Only because modern Christianity has chosen to interpret the Bible in a more secular and liberal way. Stoning? No mixed fibers? Women’s place in the world? The Bible is completely savage. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you’re not following the Bible literally, but you’re a good person in spite of Christianity, not because of it.
Well, I think you've done everything you can. The GDPR requires a response from the data handler in a timely manner. If Facebook fails to do so, for whatever reason, you're free to contact your privacy/data regulation authorities.
That's so binary.

I completely agree with you. The real judge if someone is doing something good, is when they do it despite the consequences. Otherwise it's meaningless, they simply are not being evil.

> That "consensus" happened when the centre left accepted structural changes made by the previous "generation's" new right

No, it didn't, at least not in the US.

The neoliberal consensus happenened, in the US, when the center-right faction took over the more left-leaning of the two major parties.
People seem to take the unity of U.S. for granted. But there is nothing granted about it.

The former Spanish colonies from Mexico to Argentina were part of the same empire, speak the same language, derive their legal systems from the same framework, but they shattered into 20 different states and even led wars against one another.

The only attempt to build something bigger out of them, Greater Colombia, only lasted from 1819 to 1831, and the country split precisely on the centralist vs. federalist question.

In contemporary intellectual climate, it is almost a heresy to say this aloud, but American political model proved to be messy but durable. Of course, it may yet split on the social network toxicity much like it did split in 1860, but its longevity is pretty significant.

Of course, it helped that U.S. is isolated from other powers of the world by two great oceans. Invasion by an external enemy was by far the most frequent cause of problems in my corner of the world. Being located right in the center of a historically violent continent is a recipe for trouble.

I got rid of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp about 4 years ago. Facebook and Instagram was easy, but people who have WhatsApp really think you’re weird for not having it.

Deleting WhatsApp, while annoying for me personally, has resulted in many people I know joining Signal or Telegram — the network effect can be broken by being belligerent.

If you don’t want to have a conversation about why you deleted WhatsApp, simply say it’s a moral issue, nobody wants to know.
You don't need to visit facebook, you just need to visit a page that has their script embedded.

nextdns.io does a good job of blocking facebook. They base their block on https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists which has this list https://github.com/jmdugan/blocklists/blob/master/corporatio...
> for many, it's a synonym for "laziness"

which is weird because most people doing 4 days are taking a pay cut to do it - and thus, earning the exact same per hour as before!

Those who say 4 days is lazy somehow don't also say that not working weekends (without pay) is not lazy...

How about stop putting nude and intimate photos on your phone? Just don’t take them, period. It doesn’t matter if you are a celebrity or not, if the photos exist then someday/somehow they are going to get out and once they do you will never be able to pull them back. You might not even have a chance to try if you end up in jail. Even if you live in a country that doesn’t care, one day you might accidentally transport them to or through a country that does, or attitudes might change over time. Put a mirror by the bed if you want to see yourself. Don’t set yourself up for trouble.
Wow, that's a bad website UX. "Pay online with FIDO", no links back to Sparkasse website. It screams "Phishing" miles away. And it isn't linked from here: https://www.sparkasse.de/service/sicherheit-im-internet/ihre...

At least it is mentioned here: https://www.foerde-sparkasse.de/de/home/service/fido-token-m...

Totally anecdotal, but I went through a period of insomnia a few years age. It would take several hours to get to sleep. I realised that I had recently started taking vitamin D supplements just before bed and figured it might be connected.

Changed to take the supplements in the morning and the insomnia went away.
Don't know, good question. But why should we care about credit? I know we do but should we?

FWIW, I have lots of ideas on my Trello, it's not hard to come up ideas that have potential in my eyes, but the problem is to have energy or motivation to test-drive them and see if they could be sculpted into fruitful applications, not to mention profitability and marketing which I know nothing about.
The leak contains much more than this FYI, there's a hundred gigabytes of code and resources from dozens of repositories.

I wonder if this'll lead to software engineers in big companies having more restricted access to code?
I think I explained how Napoleon fits in, as a response to your original Basing 21st Century politics on something written in the 18th century is weird bit. France has laws based on an early 19th century system, its motto is an 18th century slogan, its modern constitution straight up begins by #including an 18th century document.

I can't actually find a reference to 'founding fathers' in the linked page but maybe the confusion here is a misunderstanding of what that usually means in political speech - it's an invocation (often derived from context) of some principle they espoused or are said to have espoused. It's functionally equivalent to standing in front of that 18th century slogan.

I deleted mine 3 or 4 years ago, and I did end up logging in a couple of times during that 30 day window - "Oh, I'll just have a quick look at those wedding photos" or "I want to go on that trip so I best keep it logged in for that" kind of thing - purely instinctive at the time to find that info.

I imagine if you are hooked on the whole 'social interaction' thing, the 30 day sliding window is ... unhelpful.
depends on what level of isolation and how it's done, MVCC avoids deadlocks, but if you manually lock any row/table, you can still run into deadlocks. but the DBMS' transaction manager will notice and timeout one of the transactions, failing it.

While MVCC avoids deadlocks, you'll still get a lot of failed transactions if they all operate on the same data at the same time, which you'll have to retry, but I'll take that over data inconsistency
As someone who implements these types of requirements, this suggestion just adds complexity where none is needed. In the software, and the database, and the backup strategy, and for the average user. Complexity requires time, money, and introduces bugs and user error.

Right now we are required by law to remove user data upon request (Europe). That law is strong enough to cover those who need it.
The other problem is scale: the standard "save me" for tools like this is a --doit and --no-really-i-mean-it and defaulting to a "this is what I would've done" mode. That falls apart the moment the list of actions is longer then the screen but you're expecting that: after all how can you really tell the difference unless the console scrolls for a really long time?

There's solutions to that, but of course these sorts of tools all come into existence well before the system reaches a size where how they work becomes dangerous.
Is their fork source code available somewhere publicly?
I deleted mine 2 years ago, and definitely followed through on it. Once it was done, it was absolutely zero problem to have it out of my life. The only thing I’m curious about though, is what would happen if I try to login again. I’m terrified to even try, for fear that somehow it wasn’t actually deleted even though that’s exactly what I did.

Update: I decided to finally try logging in and thankfully it said it could not locate an account under my email. So I guess that's a good thing. I do wonder if it triggered something else though, just by my trying to login.
> I think this is slightly incorrect: The Israel state does not regulate marriages, it leaves them to religious courts, which in turn make them impossible.

Israel still regulates marriages, because it picks and chooses which religious authorities to recognise for the purpose of marriage, and it does so based on non-objective and non-neutral criteria. It refuses to recognise marriages performed in Israel by non-Orthodox Rabbis, and it doesn't have any neutral/objective reason for doing so, which makes it a form of religious discrimination.

There are other countries who have government recognition of religious marriages on a non-discriminatory basis. For example, in my own country of Australia, the federal government has a list of recognised religious denominations, whose clergy are automatically recognised as legal marriage celebrants – https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2018L01607 – there are published objective criteria to be added to the list – https://www.ag.gov.au/sites/default/files/2020-03/Informatio... – and they are all about making sure the religion is real and serious (that it has identifiable leadership and clergy and a significant number of members, that it isn't just some guy in his garage claiming to start his own religion, that it wasn't started yesterday, etc) – it is not about letting the government play favourites with religions or denominations. And I'm not aware of any evidence the government is non-objective or non-neutral in maintaining the list – controversial groups such as Scientology have managed to get themselves added to it. By contrast, if a community of non-Orthodox Jews in Israel want their Rabbi to be able to perform legally recognised marriages, the Israeli government is just going to point blank refuse the request.
Imagine that the Earth was showing always the same face towards the Sun (like the Moon/Earth situation).

At the end of the year the Earth would have rotated once (not zero times).

Edit: Imagine now that you knew only that the Earth was rotating around its axis (not parallel to the orbital plane) once per year. Then either we are in the previous case (no day/night cycle) or there are two day/night cycles.
Not that I'm an expert in sleep but I would recommend assessing your cortisol levels - you can do a blood test and I think there are also saliva tests - if you are regularly waking up early. I'd also recommend reflecting on whether there are any chronic stressors in your life - sometimes these things affect you for so long you almost become unaware of them!

Twitch leak, including site source code and creator payouts
So their program is focused on managerialism and "progress". I could not see a single line on the homepage about ecology and how industrial capitalism is threatening to destroy our entire planet.

But there's arguments for easier taxes and blockchain technology. WHO CARES IF WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE?!

There's "basic income" mentioned but nothing else about social justice and redistribution of the massive wealth the oligarchs have amassed by exploiting working people.

There's talks of limiting congress mandates in time, so that means their program does not plan to abolish elections to create a true democracy where people decide directly without corrupt overlords.

Nothing interesting to see in this program, but the great leader's photo splattered across the homepage: this sounds like any other capitalist party with empty promises that will be betrayed the second they seize power, because the problem is not with the people in power but with the *structures* of power that enable abuse in the first place.

Personally, what i'd vote for a party who would propose:

- self-organized public services: no government, no managers, just the workers and the users uniting to provide optimal service (transport, healthcare, education..)

- abolition of borders and national ID cards: no more "illegals" because everybody has a right to live and travel, no more immigrants being exploited by greedy bosses treating them like slaves

- immediate redistribution of wealth: all debt is abolished, and every resident is given property rights of where they currently reside ; all homeless people are housed and given property titles (there's currently several empty dwellings per homeless person)

- immediate redistribution of political power: the government and parliaments are dismantled, the highest authority is the local Commune (direct democracy) which can organize with other communes through horizontal consent

- green revolution: acknowledge that there is no clean energy/resource, and aim to reduce resource usage by making lifetime warranties mandatory on most products (no planned obsolescence) and organizing public life for energy efficiency (mutualization of infrastructure)

My personal wishlist would be way longer, but that's the absolute minimum if you'd like me to vote "for you" (for us all!). That would be "Forward" politics. This "Forward" party looks very "Backward" to me.
It's completely hopeless, but kind of funny in a way. We thought humanity would destroy itself with wars, or atomic bombs going off unexpectedly, etc.

Exactly, I feel Gwern is sidestepping this problem and could leverage the social hatred around the future founder of multibillion dollar company to claim that they are a fraud and he's the one who came up with the idea.

So you believe it's irrelevant and should not be discussed?
Indeed.

k8s orchestration is also useful for running multiple replicas of a database and using leader election to promote a secondary to a primary if the primary goes down. Doing this without k8s would require some kind of clustering anyway, to coordinate the leader election. So if you're already using k8s for everything else, you might as well also use it for this instead of introducing something else like pacemaker.

The one disadvantage is that leader election under k8s does need to be implemented from scratch, because it isn't a first-party concept in k8s. All it gives you is the first-party implementation of compare-and-swap for resources. So you have to make a StatefulSet for your replicas, make a ConfigMap to store the leader election data (which is where the CAS ensures atomicity), and write a sidecar container to handle the healthchecks and leader election and dynamic scale-up/down of replicas. You'll probably end up making an operator to do all that for you so that you can deploy a custom resource for your replicas and they're converted to StatefulSets with Pods containing the sidecars, etc automatically.

Of course, for the big popular DBs, someone has probably already written such operators for you.
A Monte Carlo simulation can hide a lot of assumptions about the the actual system being modelled and the distribution of random variables (both on a univariate basis and as a dependency).

Its flexibility and power of estimating (otherwise maybe untractable) metrics comes at the expense of transparency, potential simulation noise and difficulty in estimating accurate "what if" scenarios. The risk is that one might get out simply what one assumes.

Here a list of questions you can ask to minimize the associated risks and steer your development:

* Do I have a good, self contained, description of the system that I want to simulate? Is it even possible to define it in practical terms?

* Do I have historical data that can pin down its stochastic behavior? Can I estimate a statistical model reliably?

* Does the uncertainty around model estimation justify retaining the full model or could I possibly simplify it and obtain semi-analytic results?

* Can I validate my estimates out-of-sample
> The moment that the Founding Fathers cease to be the mythology glue holding the nation together will be the minute that the country fractures into 20 different nation-states.

No, it won't.

Because the Founding Fathers aren't now the mythology glue holding the nation together. American national identity is mich more (and much fuzzier) than that.

Appeal to the Founding Fathers is just a tired political cliche.
> The Earth makes 366.25 rotations around its axis per year.

This one isn't quite correct, unless you're talking about artificial Julian years. It is closer to 366.24, and even closer to 366.24219 = 1+365.24219 (https://pumas.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/examples/04_21_97...).
The truth is Kubernetes already has all the primitives to run database or any other stateful applications. What is challenging is how to make it reliable, performant and scalable for this kind of apps. If you manage to do it properly, then it will be far less costly and manageable than any DBaaS out there.
There are 2 dimensions to the problem:
1) How to easily deploy and operate a "production" DB in K8S. As the toolset evolves, we've seen a lot of different operators and customization tools to facilitate this. Today it is rather trivial to write the manifests that will deploy a Redis cluster fit to your needs.
2) You need a REALLY good kubernetes-native data service layer that guarantees fast failover, sync replication and performance for your persistent volumes. StatefulSets alone won't really help in case of node failure...and don't even think about using NFS. Ondat/StorageOS are leaders in that space, it's really simple to deploy, so you can give it a try in less than 5min.
Once you've made sure that your stateful configuration is right and that the network/data layer is reliable, then you can leverage all the visibility tools native to K8S (ELK/EFK, Prometheus, etc). Your stateful apps will be ready for CI and other DevOps integration using the K8S tools (Tekton, ArgoCD etc). This will make your devs happy as infra is not the blocker anymore...
And yet, the only people called out for it are the one group that actually ended it long ago...
> the commentary is incoherent and doesn't match the game well > The attacks described are nonsense and the coordinates are wrong.

Agreed, this looks superficially like commentary on the game, but honestly it doesn't seem more pertinent to the game score than a Markov chain trained on all the commentary would be (presumably this isn't true, and the author started with something like that Markov chain and the current version is way better in terms of some fitness function).

I wonder if there just is not enough training data available. GPT-3 overcomes this by harvesting a ridiculous amount of training data. AlphaZero, and the chess engine here, which is excellent, overcome it by generating their own training data through self play. But that's not applicable to the task of generating commentary.
