That's actually a pretty close guess. In order to get to the measurement capabilities that we needed, we had to build our own internal systems. Some of those systems had a small mention in this public talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyu_wDcO0S4&t=7140s

There are several major issues when trying to measure network paths in real time, but one in particular is how to avoid the assumption about path latency related to RTT/2. The latency of a path one direction rarely is half of the over all round trip latency, usually there are a combination of things that cause path asymmetry.

Anything you or others would like to know more about in terms of network performance measurements?
Well this is a big deal for me: my father has run his business off a sprawling MS Access application which I've struggled at various times to try and move to something more modern with no success.

How do you define "real-time"?

The Broadcom CPUs in the RPis have unpredictable pauses to let the GPU refresh the RAM (really). That makes them unsuitable for hard real-time applications where you must service an interrupt within a certain time, or emit a signal on a strict deadline, etc.

They're just fine for soft real-time applications where some jitter is acceptable, but what counts as "soft" real-time versus "not-at-all" real-time is the subject of some debate.
If you're counting pandemics since 1891, I think any number between 6 and 13 is more defensible than the number 2.

Let me count again, while leaving out relatively minor pandemics like Zika:

* Fifth cholera pandemic

* Third plague pandemic (multiple outbreaks are listed)

* Sixth cholera pandemic

* 1915 encephalitis lethargica pandemic

* Spanish flu

* 1957-58 "Asian flu"

* Seventh cholera pandemic

* 1968-70 "Hong Kong flu"

* 1977 Russian flu

* HIV/AIDS pandemic

* 2009-10 swine flu

* COVID-19

That's 12 and doesn't count stuff like Zika, SARS, or MERS. It also doesn't count any of the Ebola epidemics.

I don't know if cases or deaths are a good proxy for expected supply chain impact. SARS, for instance, had relatively few cases and deaths because it mostly broke out in well-functioning developed East Asian countries that were capable of responding to it effectively, but those same countries have outsized effects on global supply chains.
>To be fair, that’s the exact same sentiment I remember reading about Zuck on HN around the time Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions happened. People were saying it was one of the dumbest business decisions, that Zuck is just desperate and without any brain trying to spend his FB money on acquisitions before FB inevitably dies of irrelevancy, etc.
Look at today, and I think most people would agree that acquiring whatsapp and instagram back then was a great business decision on his end.

>And, in my eyes, the whole Meta thing makes way more sense to begin with than those acquisitions did.

That's a fallacy. It doesn't matter if Zuck had 2 consecutive successful predictions because his 3rd can be unsuccessful. Each event(situation) is specific and different.
I think you might have misread/misunderstood what the years listed mean; All four of these are the same blog post, which was posted in 2016, but it was posted to Hacker News in 2016, 2016, 2019, and now 2021.
The drier on average can be somewhat misleading: with each +1℃ the atmosphere can hold approximately 7% more water on average. That's why increased incidents of wet bulb extremes are going to kill a lot of people. There will also be wildly shifting weather patterns. Those weather patterns may make some regions more prone to drought, but the key terms to expect with climate change would be hotter, more unpredictable, and greater extremes. Droughts may be drier, floods more devastating, etc. Just look at Siberia hitting 100℉ much faster than the average temperature increase elsewhere: the temperature is rising much more quickly at the northern pole compared to elsewhere in the world. This will be an uneven regional process with innumerable factors involved. It's not unprecedented for complete local climate shifts to occur in the geologic record, and much more likely given the rate of change we're causing. One we know of, for instance, is that the Amazon forest is likely to switch to being a desert given its current deforestation trajectory. Something might e.g. shift an ocean current that turns a dependent climate pattern much colder, or drier, or hotter. We can predict some of these, but the further we push the global climate out of the only patterns we have good, modern historical data on, the weirder it might become. So in other words, even if you move to a cool and rainy place now, the climate dice we're playing with may not favor you. I think it's important for people to grok this because adaptation in a +3℃ world or greater is going to involve much more than just moving further north or south. It's going to affect everyone everywhere. You might escape some heat up north only to face the landscape deforming and belching up more methane in the atmosphere than any human has breathed, and perhaps some defrosting pandemic pathogens that haven't infected a new body for thousands of years. The known unknowns are likely bad, and the unknown unknowns are myriad.

Seems an odd thing to be infuriated about. Like, some people have no email address, right? Should we be infuriated about that? No? Then why are we infuriated about people with an email address with a whitelist? It doesn't stop you from having an open email address if you want. It's their choice.

Personally, it sounds pretty handy. Every day my personal email address gets 100 messages. The only reason I check it is once every week or two my family might have sent something. Whitelist sounds perfect. As it is I just open Gmail, search for my family's address, and close it if nothing shows up. The Gmail icon on my phone has 9,714 unread messages...never gonna go through all that.
"Cash" in balance sheet accounting-speak isn't limited to the dollar bills under Tim Cook's mattress. It refers to a large number of essentially "cash equivalent" things that can be converted to cash quickly and easily, albeit at essentially risk-free rates of return.

You maintain a cash reserve so that, if there is a (hopefully) short-term market correction, you're not stuck with having to sell assets in a dip to meet payroll, etc. Not really much different from people in that regard although obviously at a different scale.

Personally, having people around, hearing speech (and involuntarily passively processing that speech), on top of environmental noises, is utterly distracting and hinders any kind of productivity.

While I'm working, preferably alone, ear buds are in and a long instrumental track is played on loop, so that noise is drowned out, don't get distracted by having to select another song, and there's no need for my brain to process speech. It's amazing how well it works in keeping me focused.

Keto Actives is a food supplement supporting weight loss. We specifically recommend it to those on the ketogenic diet. It contains 8 components combined in one foolproof supplement, which helps in the reduction of fatty tissue and stops its storage. Moreover, Keto Actives helps in maintaining the proper cholesterol and sugar blood levels. The supplement is also recommended for those persons with an excessive appetite, as the extracts and minerals included in it suppress hunger.
Keto Actives boosts energy, increases stamina and concentration, thanks to which it is very effective in the period of adapting to ketosis. When using the capsules in addition to the diet, the first effects will be visible in just a few weeks. This is undoubtedly a supplement which was missing from the market.

It seems obvious that richer families spend more. They have more to spend.

I am assuming that everyone just spends more on stuff. The part of interest, that I don’t see in the paper, is if the ratios change with added income. Not the absolute amounts.

What is of interest to me is that if someone spent 10% of their disposable income on education, do they spend 10% of their extra cash on education? Or is it different. Likewise for substances. What’s the baseline percent and the percent spent of extra cash.

And then compare across socioeconomic classes.

It’s frustrating to see such bonehead statements like people who get money spend money without describe other things of interest. I don’t think anyone debates that rich people spend more than poor people.

The increased wait time also degrades capacity permanently. There was an essay by a truck driver posted here yesterday[1].

MMy understanding: many truck drivers are owner-operators, operating on extremely slim margins at the best of times (say 5 pickups per day).

With long waits and maybe one or two pickups per day, they go out of business.

Your share of those profits is dividends, not any gains from increased value of the underlying asset.

And I don't think we need to incentivize even more investment, given where things are at the moment. All it does is concentrate more market in the hands of the same people (who already have enough money to throw it around). It doesn't actually benefit the society as a whole, unless your metric for that is some mindlessly averaged metric like GDP.

> From the fact that the results of the human studies are not consistent and it is assumed that most studies using beverages as a vehicle are not properly blinded, we suggest that a causal relationship between MSG and headache has not been proven. In addition, statistically significant differences in the incidence of headache were not observed when MSG was administered with food, except in one case of the female group where the blind integrity was questionable. It would seem premature to conclude that the MSG present in food causes headache.

In my experience, people don't collect stamps in the hopes of making a killing via a "Ponzi Scheme."

They collect stamps because the hobby brings them joy and satisfaction. Even if they are mocked by others who don't understand how they could enjoy such a thing.

It is not necessary to attribute to ulterior motives to what can be explained simply by different interests.

I'm sure there are aging collectors who mistakenly think they are leaving a stamp collection that could be of financial value to their children, but it is likely that they also have the wistful albeit unlikely hope that someone of the next generation might take up the hobby that has given them pleasure.

The problem with coöperatives is longevity. We have white-collar coöps of sorts: partnerships. They tend to disintegrate after a generation or become quasi-corporations over time because immortal entities can make plans and promises on time scales that ones that grow old and change priorities and die can't.

It's possible for an animal to domesticate itself. This is one of the theories for how wolves were domesticated. It's not that humans did anything special to domesticate them but that wolves started hanging around humans and eating the scraps that were left over at campfires and other human habitation sites. Eventually the less fearful and tame wolves became human companions. Once people realized they could hang out with wolves they started actively breeding more tamer variants.

The same is true for humans. The process is obviously slightly more complicated because unlike wolves people have more influence on their environment but it's undeniable that humans are now domestic animals. No modern human can survive in the wilderness and this process is accelerating. We are now, for all intents and purposes, dependent on mechanical tools and technology for our continued existence. Feeding 8B people is impossible without industrial farming and agricultural techniques, e.g. Haber-Bosch. [1]

2500ppm? Good grief.

I notice a slight blunting of my mental edge at about 1000ppm. I always maintain enough ventilation to keep below about 800ppm. I don't guess; I monitor.

At work, in our delapidated office, I've seen up to 1800ppm by lunchtime. No wonder no one can concentrate in there.

It's not cheap, but you can buy heat-recovery ventilation for domestic properties: stale air is pumped out, fresh air is pumped in, and there's a heat-exchanger to warm the incoming air. Typically, air is extracted from rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and toilets (so that you expel moisture, smoke and odours) and pumped into living spaces such as lounges, dining rooms and bedrooms. It doesn't provide enough air changes per hour to mitigate the danger from Covid-19, but it does do enough to keep CO2 levels down where you want them, and it avoids arguments with people who want to close all the windows and doors because they "don't like a draught".

As other explained, it's to keep cash inflows and outflows as close to even as possible. They have enough cash for future investments and thus don't need to stockpile any more. Apple has been saying this for awhile, and at this point I see it as a joke/humblebrag ('we're making so much money we literally can't spend it all').
I think these worries are unfounded atm, because compatibility is good for most applications, even though there are some tools specific to a compositor (e.g. waypipe for wlroots based compositors).

For the case of minimal window managers, there is wlroots, which is designed to be used to write a compositor. The first line of the wlroots repo[1] states: »Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 60,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.«
And there are at least three[2] actively maintained compositors based on wlroots. Sway being the most popular, the one for which wlroots was initially developed for.

I believe that there won't be too many incompatibilities, because there are 3 (4, including weston) wayland compositors developed (Gnome's, KDE's & wlroots based), all three of them having their own use cases. Using protocol extensions only useable on one compositor would limit the app to a subset of Linux Desktops (and mobile), so if possible, most apps won't use them.

PS: I just remembered one case of fragmentation: Activity Watch, a tool to keep track which apps are used how long and to track idle times, won't be able to support Gnome (mutter), because Gnome dev's won't implement the necessary freedesktop protocol extension. Sway (and KDE?) does, so it works on them. One solution would be to write a Gnome Shell extension, but yeah, it's not as easy as on X.org (reason being privacy, in this case).

I have a puzzle for you. How would you distinguish, in hackernews-level informal (but still reasonably accurate) prose, flavour-changing oscillation and wave frequency in the sense of E=hf? Doesn't the latter frequency imply an internal clock even for photons?
