It matters because it is basically funding the worldwide crime system, if some bought slaves for 1000s of bitcoin, that is now worth many millions of dollars and guess what? That money is going to be reinvested into a bigger, better and more sophisticated criminal organization.

Crime is a business like anything else, profits get reinvested
Yeah, that's what i tried to turn off in the BIOS. It's actually one of the earlier UEFI enabled ones from MSI. I guess it's a bit bugged. It also tends to freeze when i have it open for too long. There are no updates anymore and i don't get a decent CPU for it, so i'll probably upgrade it soon-ish. Just not sure if i'll get MSI again or maybe try something else this time. Asus seems neat.
I've been a Netlify customer for a number of years now and I'm considering switching over to Render. My biggest gripe with Netlify recently is don't make it straightforward to upload site without using their build system, and there are a bunch of little workarounds to implement to make everything work right.

How is render for static sites? Do they make you build the site with them or is it a simple "here's an NPM package that github actions can consume".
Ha, my British wife had the same issue on exchange to Sweden. A bunch of non-British people were speaking to each other and only after a while did she realize it was in her own language.

What's weird about English is the hugely wide range of "native" English dialects. My late father asked me where my in-laws were from. Then he asked me whether I was sure, because he'd heard they speak English in Scotland.

The plus side is that everyone accepts that everyone else speaks good enough English to carry a conversation. In a lot of other places, once you miss a vowel they will switch to... English.
MIT: Machine-learning system flags remedies that might do more harm than good
I always hoped for macOS to borrow FreeBSD jails for itself.

A Docker-like solution with a pretty UI could be really useful for pros. For novices, it could mean a less cumbersome security measure than the restrictions we’ve been experiencing since Catalina.
> People commenting that servers shouldn’t go down ect don’t understand how true HA architectures work. You should expect and build for stuff to fail like this. Otherwise it’s like complaining that you lost data because a disk failed. Disks fail… build architecture where that won’t take you down.

Is that comparison fair? If you have 2 raid-5 mirrored raid 5 boxes in your room and all disks fail at the same time, you should complain. And that won't happen. These entire datacenter failures should be anticipated, but to expect them is a bit too easy I think. There are plenty of hosters who don't have this stuff even once for the last decade in their only datacenter. I do not find it strange to expect or even demand that level but to protect yourself if it happens in any case if that fits your specific project and budget.

Edit; OK meant that raid-5 remark in the same context as the hosting; it can and does happen but it shouldn't; you should plan for a contingency but expect it goes far. We never had it (1000s of hard-drive, decades of hosting, millions of sites) and so we plan for it with backups; if it happens it will take some downtime but it costs next to nothing over time to do that. If we expected it, we would need to take far different measures. And we had less downtime in a decade than aws AZ had in the past months. I have a problem with the word 'expect'.
I recently discovered /r/homelab and I found it extremely confusing. People are throwing thousands of dollars and thousands of watts at servers that could power a medium-sized business and then putting them in their basements and running local DNS servers, a NAS and maybe a mail server handling personal mail. Most of the compute power is spent reinstalling various virtualization technologies over and over again and repeatedly backing up a bunch of torrented movies and music without compression or dedup to flex their 30T NAS.

What am I missing?
I'd be interested to see if these models are robust against algorithms like TextFooler [0]. I'm skeptical this trend of 10x'ing the parameters will solve the "clever hans" problem.

I’m by no means “insulted”, I was just making a comment on the accuracy of the statement.
The issue with zones was the lack in the early days of GNU software and the difficulty in compiling certain things.

For instance, awk can act differently and if you don't know the 25 year old decisions that led to the differences, it can be very confusing. (There are different behaviors and command line switches between GNU's AWK and the version from SVR4/XPG)

>>>It's just a fancy title. Dollar is the reserve currency, but Euro, Pound, Yen, etc...

Actually it isn't, that is why sanctions work so well, Russia and China just entered into an agreement to trade directly between themselves without converting to USD first. It wont be long before Syria, Iran, North Korea, Argentina, Cuba and several African nations join the fray. Not to mention a large number of other out of favor political leaders that are sick of US led regime change or coup attempts constantly testing them..Think Bolsonaro, Duterte, Aung San Suu Kyi.

These are the countries that hold the resources needed for a productive world and soon enough the rest of the world, including the West will be forced to follow them into an new non US hegemonic world, regardless of the number of guns and bombs Uncle Sam has.

Punctuation based "syntactic ambiguity :"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eats,_Shoots_&_Leaves

The title of the book is a syntactic ambiguity — a verbal fallacy arising from an ambiguous or erroneous grammatical construction — and derived from a joke (a variant on a "bar joke") about bad punctuation, here from the back cover of the book:

A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry in the manual and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots, & leaves."

The joke turns on the ambiguity of the final sentence fragment. As intended by the author, "eats" is a verb, while "shoots" and "leaves" are the verb's objects: a panda's diet comprises shoots and leaves. However, the erroneous introduction of the comma gives the mistaken impression that the sentence fragment comprises three verbs listing in sequence the panda's characteristic conduct: it eats, then it shoots, and finally it leaves.

If you're getting worse performance on Linux than Windows, it's probably because you don't have hardware acceleration working. You might be using the Mesa drivers (https://mesa3d.org/), which are awesome because they make it possible to run 3D software even if your hardware doesn't support it, but are generally much slower than the official drivers from your GPU vendor (they might even be using software emulation!)

What GPU do you have?
Again, this comment is focused on the size of the data on storage and how much data there is. To me, this is just a single aspect of "Big Data". To me, "Big Data" is also what information can be gleaned from that data that is being stored whether it be Postgres, NoSQL, Cassandra, etc. That part of it is only relevant in conversations about "how much data" is available to the "Big Data" processes. People paying for "Big Data" are excited about "how much data" they have other than a bragging point. What they are paying for is the information that can be garned for having that data.

> will I find similar baseless dismissive content?

I don't think you'll be very surprised by what you find. There are a number of accounts on HN that have been systematically downplaying the pandemic since the beginning, ranging from wishful thinking to simply not knowing a whole lot about viruses and RNA viruses in particular. The 'usual suspects' promote their preferred solutions, ranging from untested medication to just pretending the problem doesn't exist. It's a bit frustrating that this forum, which prides itself on being so smart harbors some of the worst elements of the conspiracy fueled story lines that are being pushed for way more than they are worth.

With 830,000 Americans verified dead from this virus (and probably a lot more than that once you look at excess deaths for that same period) and on average 1250 new ones added every day, besides the long term effects for the ones that survive a heavy case you'd think that by now even the most hardy of these people would have realized that their mantras are getting a bit long in the tooth.

We have a serious problem, it could easily get much worse and we've squandered our options for cheap and fast solutions. The problem is a global one and as humanity we have a piss poor record of dealing with global problems (except for the Ozone layer issue, but I wonder if we would have been able to deal with that in the political climate that we have today). This isn't over yet and the only way we are going to solve it is by collectively admitting that yes, we do have a problem and that no amount of wishful thinking or quackery is going to get us out of it.
> I didn't say the Mach-E was more efficient. I said you get more battery for your money.

In response to my point that Teslas were more efficient than other cars, though. I guess I don't understand "battery for your money" as an advantage. If you buy a pickup instead of a sedan, do you usually claim that it has "more fuel tank for your money" when people complain about gas mileage? Ford ships a slightly cheaper car with a significantly more expensive part. That's bad for Ford and at best a wash for the consumer (though it does cost more for electricity, that's a small pert of operating an EV). That's a disadvantage, right?

There aren't very many 4:3 and 5:4 panels available at all beyond 17" these days. You can get largish 1:1 panels for crazy prices though. There's also the posibility of buying a whole 16:9 panel and having it cut to size, but that's not cheap and I'm not sure it's sane either.

A premium would be fine (we'd surely be grumbling still), but no availability is sad. I'm 60% sure the 1up arcade kits are so small because they're scaled to the largest 4:3 monitor they can get.
And slowly the only thing left from Docker will be the image format.

If you use anything on a commercial basis with Google, go to small claims court without hesitation, and pull the answer from them rather than keep paying them to lawyertroll you on your own money.

Depending on your jurisdiction, small claim courts can actually shut down the binding arbitration clause.

The reason for that is obvious to me: these people from Germany, Russia and China speak dumbed-down simplified version of English. Do you really want the English guy to forget 2/3 of his native language just to please others?

What I see more often is Russians and Chinese don't even try and stuck with their broken English after decades of living in USA or UK.
No, banning someone from a paid service is not fraud.
I run two 2560 × 1440 monitors, which are 16:9, but each nicely splits into two square-ish (1280 × 1440) displays. While not quite 4:3, it's close in the experience. I tile using FancyZones and run most applications in this setup.

Though you can technically do it, I found most things just don't work well with a 1080 monitor in this mode: 960 wide just isn't enough. Even a lot of websites don't really work properly, and a lot go into mobile layout.

This was a good combo of screen space, usability and price.

Full screen movies or games are still 16:9 (supposedly there are/were issues with 32:9 with a lot of games), and I like that I can play a game or movie and still have the other screen showing something. I can also RDP to my work laptop in full-screen on one monitor, and seamlessly work across both - so much simpler than dual-monitor KVM chaos, or dealing with audio- or webcam-over-network issues.

(Edit: re-worded from incorrectly saying 1280 × 1440 is 4:3)
Naturally, NSO will be blamed instead of the US govt for thinking that was actually possible. Especially after the shadow brokers leak.
It’s generally not appropriate to share details during an active investigation because 1) you don’t want to drag someone’s name through the mud incorrectly, 2) you don’t want to bias anyone involved in the investigation, 3) you don’t want to get sued to death for libel.
> Excluding a couple hundred irregularities, native speakers can accurately predict the pronunciation of 85 - 90% of common words

That sounds pretty bad actually. You're saying most _native_ speakers can't predict the pronunciation of 10-15% of common words?

I wasn't great in Spanish at school, but the teacher was mostly correct that "you write it like it sounds". Much more so than English at least.

(for context: I'm native Dutch/French, but speak mostly English, and know a bit of Spanish and Portuguese)
Right, 85% for English sounds plausible. For Spanish, I'd venture much closer to 100%. For Chinese, around two thirds of characters contain a phonetic component.

In other words, English is around half way between Spanish and Chinese :-)

Oh, and in Spanish it is bijective: if you know the pronunciation, you pretty much know the spelling also.

You don't get fed DC power, you get fed AC power.

But, point taken: yes your power feed should be running at <50%. But that just means you treat 50% as 100% just like any resource.

Mostly this is outsourced to the datacenter provider; they'll give you a per side rating. (usually 10A or 16A) which also matches the cooling profile of the cabinet.
This reminds me of my ban from Gumtree. I had issues making a post because I was using uMatrix which blocks (the malicious) reCAPTCHA that they use to block spam posts. With no errors about the missing reCAPTCHA script on the screen and just redirecting me to the submission after what seemed like a sever error, I just tried to resubmit my listing 3 times in a row. I got banned. I emailed them along the lines of "hey, I'm not a bot and I looked into it and it seems there's an issue with reCAPTCHA and error reporting". I got a response that for asking about ban and asking about reCAPTCHA, I was going to have my account, email address, and IP banned. What a joke.

> You need a back up generator and to be a short distance away from a petrol station so you can refuel quickly and regularly when suffering from longer durations of power outages.

I don't see why the petrol station needs to be a short distance away. Unless the plan is to walk to the petrol station and back (which should not be the plan[1]), anyplace within reasonable driving distance should do.

[1] long duration electrical outages will often take out everything a short distance away, and the petrol stations usually have electric pumps.

Long term is unknown to the startup , they may fail or pivot .

Buying upfront hardware is not feasible even if I had the cash(which most don't), I don't know if the company would last that long or would be doing things that require x servers .

What you are saying is similar to saying may be it is cheaper to buy the building /floor instead of renting space for office. - most small biz cannot afford do that, or expect their business to change (fail/take off) in the time frame ROI would come to take that commitment.

This is all assuming that a the startup has skill in setting up and managing physical servers and there is no opportunity costs( delayed features) on doing so, both are not a given.

small companies ( and poor people) typically don't buy low quality stuff or buy into rent seeking business models because they are dumb it is usually because they cannot afford to do long term thinking.

Haven't used render.com for long, but it looks very promising so far, not just pricing wise.

One of the biggest appeals to me is their simplified, docker-compose like approach to infrastructure as code. Even if I only have a few services, dbs, etc. I still like to have it as code under version control, but things like Pulumi or Terraform are way overkill

> So if everything is all the same and it doesn’t matter at all, then why have fps in excess of 60? Just because?

That is not at all what I said.

The different scanout speeds can probably be used to produce slightly differently looking images for 30 fps content on 30/60/120 fps displays. In practice I don't think you'd be able to notice the difference between 60 and 120 fps scanout for 30 fps content.
> The facilities team was about 6 people, average salary around $90k.

Ok so $540k salaries + benefits, so ~$700k. Then you have transaction costs:

- Annual salary increases

- Any cost associated with people leaving (severance, hiring, recruiters, HR, HR systems)

- Systems that run in the data center (logging, monitoring, etc.)

- Procurement costs with changing costs in hardware (silicon shortages, etc.)

- Security compliance overhead and associated risks

- Finance resources required to capitalize and manage asset allocation

- etc. etc.

Versus

- Click a button and voila it works.

- Hire way less engineers to manage the system administrative portion

> If the answer is automatically “AWS <whatever>“, you’re making a decision to burn dollars for convenience.

100% AGREE. The answer is always "it depends", but just like people are saying "just put in the cloud", the opposite of "well it worked for us using a data center" isn't that simple.
The prevalence of chromium forks makes me wonder if there is something about the Firefox code base that makes it far less attractive to work with then chromium’s. Is it just raw features of the core engine? Or is there a bigger issue? I believe the chromium team does put some effort in helping even competing forks with technical issues.

But then you’re still reliant on those hosting providers not fscking up; just like with cloud providers. Literally the same complaint the GP was making about AWS applies for OVH et al too.

In fact I used to run some hobby projects in OVH (as an aside, I really liked their services) so I’m aware that they have their own failures too.
