I'm not sure what there is to 'intellectually debate' about it, but I saw a decent amount of relatively sober discussion at the time. Did you not?

People who still talk about it this far after the 24 hr new cycle has moved on probably have strong emotions around it, so it makes sense that recent conversation is more emotionally charged.

I do wonder why Netflix hasn't opened a 'crowdsourced' section to actually compete with youtube, I'm sure they're making more per viewer than Youtube so affording the necessary server space shouldn't be the issue. I know they don't like to go into too many new market segments but it seems like an obvious move... anyone have a theory?

1. Raise prices of the eviction template to $10000

2. Give the $10000 to the renters being evicted

3. Provide a free template to renters to counter the eviction

There are certainly some people saying "f landlords" with little justification. But there are also a good number of people saying that because they have lived in run-down housing that's detrimental to their health. Slumlords are a thing. I live in a small town right now, and there are absentee landlords here; I lived in a big city and absentee landlords are everywhere. For all the people who have paid rent in a home where the water doesn't work, the heat doesn't work, the insulation is failed or absent, mold is unabated... "f landlords" is a pretty appropriate response.

There's no easy solution when we've built up such a strong culture of individualism, that's effectively focused on avoiding collective responsibility for individuals who are struggling.
“The only thing”—only half of all weekdays if one follows the in-bed-for-eight hours recommendation. And you of course have to eat and groom yourself outside of those hours.

I’m not saying that you are wrong. But it seems weird to dismiss a whopping 40 hours a week as a seemingly small thing.
It seems like those entities that are supposed to be protecting our security, are investing more of their resources into finding ways to monitor people in hopes of detecting that they're trying to do bad things. Working on helping to actually harden our network infrastructure takes a back seat.

But no one was suggesting " dedicating 100% of the world gdp" to vaccine production.

I'm simply saying that using more boosters in wealthy countries in no way depletes the vaccine, or raises the prices for it, in poorer countries.

I mean, would you agree that wealthy people buying more television sets does not in any way reduce the ability of poorer people to buy television sets?
Autoscaling on Kubernetes with KEDA and Kafka

It seems to me that the unique characteristic of the technological society is that, through mass surveillance, tactical applications of violence, propaganda and “social death,” traditional fixtures of totalitarianism like prison camps and beatings are unnecessary to enforce unprecedented political control.
A little of topic but I tried Obsidian out even though it isn't "free" software. I could still use it without the paid features. Then one day I went looking for the source and discovered it wasn't open source. That's when I stopped using it.

There was discussion on open sourcing it but I'm not holding my breath. Does anyone have any additional info on this?

My point was that they may not even be big enough for one. “Plug and play” might be good enough for now (a shared drive means someone is around though, someone had to set it up).
As someone who uses the non-subscription version of 1-password (iOS only, syncs amongst my iOS devices but no use on my Mac) I wonder how soon they’ll pull the plug on this.

Just to note, while I'm sure the relationship may still be strained - it's a different situation to any other one I can think of.

The railroads are a special case as they are legally authorized to have their own police forces, and do. While they're privately employed, they have the same powers as a typical cop (or more).

They can get warrants, run investigations, and can make arrests anywhere in CA if the case involves the railroad.

They are not semi-powerless private security. They do not need "a real cop" to make an arrest or do the police work. (although they certainly do typically work with local authorities).
I agree, it’s not done on the server, it’s just that AMD was nonexistent a few years ago and now have share of the market. Intel was the only choice for top performance and were able to dictate the price at the high end.

It's trite, but my own perspective isn't much different when I consider what lead me to "tech" work.

Ironically, I'm finding that the more experience you have in tech, the more your job is about interacting with people and connecting people who often aren't inclined to be social.
> All the old television networks, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Apple, and others are pumping out more mediocre

This is a subjective statement. You might even dislike shows on a particular service, but to say all of them are “objectively bad” and you think people watch more of “90s sitcoms” tells me that you probably prefer 90s sitcoms. :)

I’m basically cycling between these providers each month. The Expanse, The Morning Show, Hawkeye, Succession, For All Mankind.

Last year was the most television I’ve watched since I was a kid.
I actually do work in a hardware manufacturing company at the moment. We use git. But anyway, hardware manufacturers are a tiny proportion of all companies that write software.

Obviously it's hard to get good numbers but if you look at job adverts on https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/ they say 778 ads for Subversion and 9579 for git.
Great questions!

There are many mathematically equivalent versions of the "complete" definition. My favorite is the zeroth law of thermodynamics: If body A and B have the same temperature (meaning there is no heat flow between them when they touch) and body B and C have the same temperature, then body A and C also have the same temperature. Basically, you define the words "thermal equilibrium" to mean "there is no heat flow when they touch" and you also define temperature to be the quantity that is equal in that case. This together with the "conservation of energy" and "growth of entropy" (basically the axioms of thermodynamics) is sufficient to derive most properties of temperature you know.

If you have already defined entropy in some other way, you can say "the temperature of an object tells you how much the entropy of the object rises for a unit rise in the internal heat energy of the object":

ΔEntropy = ΔEnergy / Temperature

If you have not yet defined entropy, but have defined temperature (which I personally see as easier to understand), then the above equation can be your definition of entropy.

Notice that "definition" just needs to be mathematically sound (i.e., self consistent). But for a physicist to want to use such definitions, they *also* need to be practical. Any of the (equivalent) definitions above are a fair choice, as they happen to be the self-consistent principles which do lead to behavior like the one we experimentally observe.

I do imagine that a rigorous mathematician might have a reason to prefer one of the aforementioned definitions more than the other. I do not have such concerns.

Lastly, concerning the gases: If you happen to know that gases are made out of moving atoms then you can do a bit more. Mind you, you can build most of thermodynamics without that knowledge. But if you know that fact, then you can derive that temperature is related to some measure of average energy per atom. If the atoms are relativistic, then energy per atom will need to be written in the relativistic form (which does not grow to infinity as velocity approaches the speed of light). At lower speeds, the formula for the energy becomes numerically indistinguishable from the one from classical mechanics.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics#F...

Then I would suggest reading:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroth_law_of_thermodynamics in its entirety

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature
> That has happened enough times, especially in code editors

Ah, that's probably the difference. I don't usually scroll through a text editor (as I'm usually using vim). I can definitely see how it'd be an issue in a graphical text editor.
That’s just making thing needlessly complicanted in some countries. Registering a business is something you can do rather easily, I know people who have a company registered, just in case. It makes everything easier, less troubles with taxes and better legal protection (as in: a failed project won’t cost you your home).
Email would be fun. Beyond the rhetoric, a lot of EU governments are actually quite tyrannical when it comes to intercepting or seizing communications, compared to the US.
> what they should do is assess this on a case-by-case basis and pay the rent for people in genuine need.

Nothing is ever this efficent at scale. The point of the program was to stop people (and families) from going homeless during a health and economic crisis. The easiest and arguably best solution is a blanket ban.

This is similar to the PPP program. No one checked the credibility of businesses applications until after the money was sent out (the emergency warrants this).
> Are governments subsidizing 100% of the missed rent?

Not quite. Only 0%.
Typically, eliminating the concept of "landlord" would come hand-in-hand with eliminating the idea of real estate being privately "owned".

None of these ideas are particularly popular amongst land-owners.
I've made no comment about the morality, legality, or other stick with which to measure.

This is simply a dick wagging contest, and the better China does, the more the western elites will be envious of China's ability to exert total control on its population.

I don't think this is a good thing. It's just how I see it as it happens.

The obvious answer is to buy local, buy once (quality), and make a small effort to keep a list of bad companies to not support. Whether that list is just China companies, leftist companies, DEI companies, or just companies that play politics, you have more power than you know. Losing 4% of sales is a big deal, especially if that money is going to more worthy companies.
Sure, but if you're capable of running CoPilot to write an isEven or reverseString function in JS, it's probably less effort to just write the functions then and there. And either way you're clearly the sort of person this captcha would be intended to allow through, I think.
Probably yes in ways that make perfect sense in local contexts. For example, I've never had a landlord try to scam me out of a deposit when moving out of a rental that was expensive for the area. I've never had a landlord fail to do so with rentals considered "affordable" for the area.

I imagine evictions are the exact same market space.
Closed source products are really well known for investing in security and keeping tech debt to a minimum. This is why no commercial closed source product depended on something like log4j without thouroughly auditing it first. Oh wait...
No, I mean I've gone to a GOP convention in San Diego and met them. A lot of them are literally not sane. I encourage everyone to go actually meet pols sometime. It was frightening.

I don't think Nancy Pelosi is crazy. Self serving and out of touch, yes, but not actually crazy.
I can only assume that my complex made a profit from evictions as they were always evicting someone. I am positive they would steal their deposit, add a bunch of fees/fines/back rent and then take them to court and usually winning. Well they sold the building a few months ago and new owners are raising rent by 20 percent.
You think they'll keep that price for forever?
Well said. It's totally expected that evictions would increase when they're no longer banned.
No. It just means the vaccine does not reduce your chances of hospitalization by 100%. It is "only" reducing them by 90+%.

When you are dealing with a population that is nearly 100% vaccinated, even though unvaccinated people are hospitalized at 10x the rate of vaccinated people you will still have almost all hospitalizations be vaccinated.
So it's impossible to design such planetcracker weapons, even in principle? Since the possibility of such design is all I claim.
I’ve been rubbing it for over 3 years now and I’m approaching 3k e-mail subscribers. I feature it quite a lot on LinkedIn and Twitter and sometimes I would share some issues on /r/robotics or HN.

So far the best way I’ve found for growing subscribers is trading shoutouts with other newsletters but I didn’t experiment much with paid ads.
You can see the 50 megaton Tsar bomb on youtube of course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtCTzbh4mNQ
The number of nurses that are willing to quit so they aren't required to get the vaccine is insane, and I think that might be what is driving the enrollment reduction.
Lots of different methods but for most the easiest is to just use something like NextDNS or a pihole. Pihole being potentially cheaper long term and NextDNS having the advantage that you can use it when off your home network.

If you want to get extra fancy you need to also worry about Doh and Dot (encrypted DNS) and hardcoded IP's (mainly for actual applications like mobile apps or smart devices). Encrypted DNS is a great thing but companies also use it to bypass things like pihole or NextDNS by hardcoding their DNS IP into an application and then sending all requests to that IP using Doh and Dot so that the end user has no control.

What you can then do is use any kind of edge router / firewall / networking equipment (virtual or physical) to block all the common DNS IP addresses directly and only allow addresses of your choice (such as NextDNS or other). This way when the application tries to make a connection using Doh or Dot to that specific IP address it ensures that it is blocked and everything must fall back to whatever DNS you have setup (which can also be running Doh or Dot for privacy / security). Some home routers have this functionality or you can setup a pfsense box relatively cheaply to achieve this. Unfortunately I have not yet found an easy / cheap solution for mobile devices if anyone has any suggestions.
Based on https://www.future.1password.com/ I'm guessing it will be closer to LastPass's auto-login. It still uses the existing username/password form, but autofills and submits for you.

So a 1- or 0-click login once you hit the login form, as opposed to the current 3-click system (see login list, click to fill, click to submit). And looks like it also might handle the 2fa portion (which essentially makes it 1fa).
That doesn't sound like good news at all. Anything that makes the internet easier to censor and control is very bad news.
Because much like privacy, password security shouldn't always be only a premium option.

Plus like the parent said, proprietary code is a deal break for lots of people.

Awesome - excited to hear your feedback.

We do indeed reduce friction through the integrations, bringing your calendar together with tasks from project management tools like Jira, Shorcut, Trello, GitHub, Asana, Slack, and even email.

In terms of helping you do better estimation - we aren't addressing that directly yet with this first version. However, we do have plans to build in better insights/analytics that will help you better understand where your time is being spent, and how accurate you are with your estimations (time allotted versus time spent). We'd even love to build a feature that learns and begins to suggest expected time for certain tasks.
2 jobs ago I had a management level position ("Head of Architecture") for a decent sized engineering multinational.

My fondest moments are actually when I helped people do mind numbingly awful tasks by automating stuff - this was not my day job but I had a lot of freedom.

One guy was so delighted that I had scripted in less than an hour some ghastly bit of spreadsheet work that he estimated was going to take him a few weeks that he immediately ran out and bought me a bottle of wine!
I just hit "reader view" in firefox (icon next to search bar) and all that crap goes away leaving just the article text and images.
Don't forget government outlawing denser housing, promoting expensive single family sprawl which then requires a car (amortized TCO $10k a year) and requisite local taxes to cover the inefficient infrastructure.

Yes, even in my days with FDDI (pre-2000) you could wrap them around your finger, no matter if multi- or single mode. At least for 'demo'-purposes, to stop the hyperventilation of some people. Nonetheless I've seen horrible installations, where I've straightened out the gordic knots when I've seen them, just to be sure ;-)
Sort of - the motte is usually the strongest easily defended claim. The bailey is a much harder-to-defend claim.

In this case, there's a very easy, substantially stronger, and often-used claim that might make a better 'motte'.
There is definitely a lot of money to be made if you have figured out how to cater to wealthy people. Basically the same service can be charged five times as much if you make a few tweaks to keep the wealthy happy.
It's not abysmal when you consider the standard (signaling, ECC) has to work over 80+km range in some cases. You'd be hard pressed to get a pci link to work over 10M.

That being said, I generally agree that it has been moving too slow in consumer electronics and 2.5G is a pretty long overdue step-up for a moore-adjacent technology. Another factor is the humble reality that infrastructure (physical cables installed in walls) is the (s)lowest common denominator in this advancement.

Exactly, GP is mistaking niche content with mediocre content. It's similar to indie games. A game like The Witness may not have the same audience as the latest Call of Duty, but the people who love that game really fucking love it.

When any field gets too saturated, the best way to shine is to focus on underserved niches.
Whilst I can agree everyone has a price, Valve is bootstrapped for a reason.

Not necessarily you can buy out anyone by the sheer power of money. Buy out Valve and you'll destroy its creative freedom that got them there in the first place.
A parent isn't necessarily a good parent, and non-parents won't necessarily bad parents. The creators can also work with parents and parenting specialists, and read parenting books, something which "real" parents often never do.

I would like to see your arguments about the unsettling things, instead of attacking the founders themselves. I too believe there might be some bad ideas about this app, though it seems useful for someone like me who'd like to improve his habits.
I don't really want to turn the comments section of this lovely article into rancor, but yeah, I'm really tired of hearing about the "good old days" from those who gave us the current day; from those who refuse to cede power to us who will actually be here when shxt hits the fan so we can start the long, heavy work of fixing the problems that were created to give you those "good old days"; we who are trying to make-do in a world where those who enjoyed those "good old days" are hoarding every last resource; so those who loved those "good old days" can then come in here and tell us our love isn't even good enough? Come on, man. Your "good old days" came at the cost we're paying now. Give us a break and let us at least try to enjoy what you've left us rather than rub our noses in how good you had it.

Gah.

I apologize for this dumb thing aimed at you. I know it's not your fault. But I think this is what you're coming up against when people tell you not to tell them about the good old days.

~900sqf (~84sqM) one bedroom on the skirts of one of the most expensive places in the United States. My utilities (except water) are all billed separately. If I were to buy a house in this area and paid in mortgage what I pay in rent, I'd get something a little bit bigger (2 bed, 1 bath, in 'ok' condition, probably 10 to 15 years old).
Yeah it is interesting. Change the word 'soar' to 'rise' and the article takes on a much different tone
