As I recall, for this particular bit of research that I read a couple of months ago, more precisely it states there is no clear discernible level of consumption that could be deemed "safe". That's not really a surprise if you look at the data because it's such a mess. You also can't pin a point at which consumption is a high risk. What does that tell us?

You can however surmise that low / moderate consumption is not associated with high risk of mortality. There is "risk" insofar as it is non-null, anything above zero is unsafe. So what? That doesn't mean it's significant.

One of the best discussions I ever heard was from Stephan Kinsella when he discussed the patent system as a system of negative servitudes or negative easements (https://www.stephankinsella.com/paf-podcast/kol365-guest-lec...). Essentially IP is similar to joining an HOA, which might give you negative rights in your property such as the inability to use it as a dump, the inability to paint it bright pink, etc. but with IP your potential competitors are petitioning the USPTO to create negative rights in property you already own.

In general, for anyone with a general interest in the anti-IP position, the following resources are good:

> That's what the use case of Liberty Linux seems to be: stop paying RH, keep your existing RHEL servers, pay us instead.

No, I don't think so. If a company is a happy RHEL customer, why would they switch?

I think the targets are:

* CentOS Linux users who are upset that CentOS Linux was prematurely EOLed and don't want to pay RH as a result. Or pay Oracle, come to that.

* Companies with a mix of CentOS Linux, maybe some RHEL, and some SUSE, for whom this gives them a choice of moving to all-SUSE distros rather than all-RHEL distros.

* SLE customers who need some RHEL-compatible boxes for some stuff that only supports RHEL and RHEL clones, who can now keep it inside the SUSE family.

A question to you as someone from the hardware side: Why is it not a focus for hardware devs to build hardware that works with existing software? Why do I always need a special kernel for every arm64 board out there?

Often it's that there are hardware components chosen without mainline drivers, then there is also the problem of each board having a different layout.
With arm64 EFI things get better but it's still a difference compared to x86 where you can boot almost any old OS on your newest laptop, thanks to PCI and other standard interfaces.

How many athletes report drinking a bit before competing?

The answer is none because it negatively affects all physical ability.

So would you say it’s likely that in aggregate drinking would be healthy?

Edit: Wow, I guess people really don't like to think about this.
To respond to both comments below, yes sure, sometimes it helps to relax just a bit and alcohol can help with that, but obviously you could also just drink some tea or actually train yourself to command better control over your state of relaxation.
Alcohol is a shortcut that comes with some penalties, but personal ability might overcome those penalties. That doesn't mean that person couldn't have performed even better without drinking.

And regarding lists of athletes that have been known to drink, well of course a counterexample to any absolute statement can be found, I'll grant that. But in the overwhelming majority you won't find top level athletes at the bar the night before the big event and there's a reason for that.

> wouldn't be viable if they had to compete to sell power on the open market

Capacity markets are "the open market". They're a market for a different product - the option to request power during a later period. And when we're discussing power shortages with catastrophic results, that lack of capacity is a lot more important than specific resulting spot price.

Environmentally it's better to keep an extra coal plant operational than to have everyone install their own backup generators (and ad-hoc fuel storage!) to mitigate the problems with "best effort" grid supply.
>"about analyzing assertions that can be objectively verified."

Knowing what I know about BS-ing corporate power points and how data can be spun multiple different ways using statistics, the objectively verified information is not enough to prove/disprove an assertion. It always comes down to subjective interpretations and meta analysis of the context behind the facts themselves.
> Wind turbines shutting off caused Texas to use peaker power prematurely to replace renewable power instead of in its proper role as a buffer for surges in demand.

Blaming wind for the problems seems a bit disingenuous, when wind outages were 3,000MW and thermal outages were over 30,000MW. I don't deny that wind failed too, but this was a holistic failure.

> The neighboring grids were also under emergency reductions and had no surplus power. OK and LA were extremely close to also implementing blackouts.

You missed a chance here to point out that SPP actually did have blackouts, although only for a few hours. They did better outside of Texas because they had more options and better preparedness.

> But I have not heard of any plant in Texas shutting down due to "frozen coal piles".

I heard about it at the time through connections in the industry, but it's gotten some press too.

> Over reliance on intermittent renewables without sufficient backup i

In 1989, I sat in a cold dark house in Houston, due to power shortages and forced blackouts much like those in 2021. You're concerned about an overeliance on wind power in 2021? There was 'no' wind power in 1989. You're concerned about shut down coal plants in 2021? They were running in 1989. You're concerned about electrical NG pipeline pumps in 2021? They were self-powered in 1989.

Most of my suggestions are really about ensuring sufficient backup and addressing problems that range far beyond just the number of wind turbines and solar panels in the state. What are your suggestions?

Patents encourage this idea of, "it's the idea, not the execution that matters". You see this propagate in start up land where new founders want you to sign an NDA just to pitch to you.
The whole thing is silly. I don't think ideas are nearly as original as we would like to believe. Pretty sure every one of us has seen some thing come out that we replied, "hey, that's my idea!".
I think we tell ourselves that the big guys with the money just want to steal our idea, and patents protect the little guy. But it would take more money to patent something (legal fees) than just go out and build it. Investing and manufacturing companies have pivoted to a "prove to me your idea is useful by making a small business first" model, which, essentially invalidates the theoretical purpose of patents.

> in fact, Kubernetes is one of those technologies that makes bare metal much more appealing

Bare metal on Kubernetes is a PITA though to set up. For extremely small scale stuff in private labs, okay, that takes half an hour, but as soon as you are on the Internet, maybe have a couple rented bare metal machines, it gets nasty. For ingresses, you'll usually need to set up MetalLB which requires acquisition of a range of IP addresses and it only is capable of running one server (the "speaker") as the one and only entrypoint for all traffic. Not to mention you cannot have roles such as "internet-exposed node" and "not internet-exposed node", since MetalLB wants to run on all nodes.

Also, a Kubernetes environment will need at least four separate network ranges - a network for the Pod IPs, a network for cluster IPs of services, one for the nodes themselves and if you want to expose stuff to the Internet you need a fifth one that holds the public-routed IPs. This is really funny if you are in a corporate environment that uses all three of the historic private ranges
(10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16), good luck carving out ranges that do not result in routing conflicts.

Mesosphere DC/OS was more usable in that regard as it had pre-defined the roles of nodes, included the load balancer as part of the platform and had only two IP ranges (node-internal and whatever the public IPs of the public nodes were)... whereas it's clear that the only designed/supported way to run a major Kubernetes deployment is to use a fully-managed Kubernetes provider. Everything else is a world of undocumented, spurious-bug-filled stuff and incomplete documentation.

Bulk loading data is the other gotcha I've run into. Had a beautiful use case for steady read performance of a batch dataset that was incredibly economical on Dynamo but the cost/time for loading the dataset into Dynamo was totally prohibitive.

It's interesting you used the word 'feeling' because unfortunately the English language uses the word synonymously with emotions. Whereas we both know in this context that you meant a thing that you 'can't quite put your finger on'.

I have a theory that these feelings are more tied to the primitive parts of our brains/bodies. Especially if something causes danger/stress/exertion. I liken it to a hunter going through a jungle and they experience a dangerous/stressful experience, the brain puts a bookmark for all of the environmental stimuli that are present at that time/place. So when the same stimuli are experienced again the quick, primitive part can say "something isn't right, no time to explain!"
I maybe should have been more explicit: I was referring to the bit-operation cost of big integer multiplication. The only claimed O(n lg n) algorithm for this task [1] notes:

> Let n_0 = 2^(d^12) >= 2^4096 and suppose we wish to multiply numbers with n bits. [...] For n > n_0 we will describe a recursive algorithm [...]

2^4096 bits is enormous. That's way way way past the point where you could fit the numbers into the observable universe. Past the point where the expansion of space has become a real problem. You really should just use the O(n lg n lglg n) algorithm instead [2].

Your other comments indicate you work with polynomials with floating point coefficients. Yes, there are O(n lg n) algorithms for that case. And they are very practical.

The very article you link is talking about exactly one small provider that has an entire business focused on consumers signing up to pay wholesale rates live (which are generally much lower than the contract rates) called Griddy. Griddy customers are the ONLY individuals in the entire state who had their power bill go up last February during the storm. According to Griddy they had around 29000 customers in Texas last year and there are roughly 29 Million people in Texas, so that means less than 1/10th of 1% (0.001) of the Texas population had to pay an increased power bill last February.

There are different systems in different municipalities. Houston and Dallas both have systems where multiple providers can offer service which are distinct from the providers responsible for the actual utility infrastructure (power lines to your house). Austin and San Antonio both have municipally owned utilities (CPS Energy in San Antonio, Austin Energy in Austin). For the majority of households they either have a contracted rate based on their agreement when they signed up for service (just like a cell phone contract), or they have a legally set rate which requires a ballot issue.

This is WELL established. There's no dispute here, and if you can't "tell who's telling the truth", it just means you haven't bothered doing any research before deciding. The national media used the snowstorm in February as a political tool to kick Texas while it was down because they see it as a Republican bastion (even though the majority of the population lives in reliably blue cities in national elections and Texas is purple now), and used something truthful for less than 1/10th of 1% of the population to act like it was that way for everyone to make the issue seem larger than it was.

Also from your article "Despite the astronomical prices, Scott-Amos is considered one of the lucky ones, as millions of people across Texas are still without power while temperatures remain perilously low." Griddy customers pay the live wholesale price, they were also immune from forced load-shedding meaning they didn't go without power during freezing weather like most other Texans did, so true to their contract they paid the live wholesale price and in return received guaranteed service. Sounds like they got exactly what they signed up for at the risk they decided to take which 99.999% of Texans opted not to take for the safer (but generally more expensive) financial bet.

Hey HN - We’re excited to share a demo for our new forecasting app, Quantile (named after quantile regression, since we’re big fans of predictive intervals).

Quantile is for non-technical users who need a quick and easy way to generate rigorous predictions about the future. We aim to offer all of the modeling features that experienced ML engineers would build themselves (e.g., cross-validated parameter tuning, hurdle modeling, etc.), but with smart defaults and a convenient UI such that they’d rather use our app instead.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the Git Flow model which is all about having multiple long-lived development branches.

As far as the proposal goes, this is a much better way to do it than trying to preserve every mistake you made along the way. I'd prefer to see either this or just the one squashed commit. I'd just argue that maybe if its important to break it up into multiple commits that you might consider that it should also be separate PRs. If it is necessarily so interlinked that you can't produce separate passing PRs then I probably need to wrap my brain around the whole thing at once as well.

Usually my objection is that multiple different concerns need to be done totally separately. I can't think of the last time I really wanted just separate commits and not entirely different PRs.

Sxmo uses ModemManager[0] for calls+texts, and mmsd-tng[1] for MMS support. It generally works quite well (in my limited experience), modulo some dropped messages (might already be fixed?) and the modem occasionally getting filled up with messages which take a while to clear (causing newer messages to not be delivered).
