The Ammon Bundy example is a good one — the BLM-managed lands have * always * been open for grazing for almost nothing, because — like I said — the only point is avoiding the tragedy of the commons. The federal government never gave people the option of buying that land for themselves!

Now, people see people using federal land the way it was intended, and complain that the BLM isn't being a cost-effective landlord. And that's true... because that's a terrible thing for the BLM to become.
OK. What does the practice actually consist of? Does it require anything? If I'm taken to court, is "I thought about using my left hand, but I decided not to" a defense?
You can always build escape hatches for that kind of use case. Some more stringent separation between essential and installed components could have prevented Linus removing his DE.

"Very close" is still rubbish. As that article of the recording says, "Mannerheim did not wish to greet Hitler at his headquarters, as it would have appeared like a state visit." But they of course did have a discussion about the war with a common enemy.

Ha ha ha, no, probably not. A relatively recent post from an alleged ex-Microsoft employee said that all the designers use Macs, which might be the reason Windows keeps getting worse.
USA was created in the wake of perhaps the largest ethnic cleansing in human history (virtual entirety of the North American continent) and has been at war for >90% of its history. It has always been deeply racist (whether overt like KKK lynchings or subtle like census reporting and tokenism).

Yes, that's the "root cause" - but from what I understand, the fall of the roman empire was not a singular event but rather some gradual development. Which is why it seems to be so difficult to define a specific point in time at which the middle ages began [1][2]

I wonder if one could define e.g. an "elephant horizon" - some point in time where, before, how an elephant looks was common knowledge (among the educated) and after which the knowledge was lost or replaced by myths so we got depictions like in the OP.

I'm really surprised at the venom and all the extrapolation here.

Show HN: Faster R-CNN object detector implemented in PyTorch and TensorFlow 2
Fresh and (I think) clean implementations of Faster R-CNN in PyTorch and TensorFlow 2/Keras.

I wanted to learn about object detectors and decided to understand and implement a foundational model in the field, Faster R-CNN (elements of which are still used in modern models to this day), using the paper alone. That proved to be more difficult than expected and I had to relent and take a peak at existing implementations to fill in some important gaps. I've documented my struggles and learnings in the README for others to benefit from.

I also wanted to solidify my understanding of TensorFlow/Keras and learn PyTorch, so I made sure to implement the model in both. Faster R-CNN is fairly challenging in that it doesn't quite map to Keras tutorial examples. For example, losses are not computed simply as a function of model output and input but rather, some of the training data is actually computed on-the-fly within the model during training and the losses have to explicitly be constructed as part of the graph.

Personally, I found the "official" TensorFlow reference implementation (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/ob...) to be very difficult to follow and I hope this proves to be useful to learners like myself.
That was a great deep dive in to iLO. I wonder how much of that would apply to Dell's iDRAC?

in the thread, someone links PG's filtering method, which claims 99.5% effectiveness? that would still be getting me 20+ spam emails a day at that rate

further, if you are trying to block, lets say, crypto scams, on a platform which allows strong positive discussion about crypto, which allows people to talk about stuff they are selling for crypto, etc etc etc, you easily start losing points to differentiate

the defender needs to classify every message on the site, in a way that allows detecting spam well after classification, while maintaining over a 99.8% rate these days, while aiming for a 0% false positive rate

the attacker just needs to type random messages at their keyboard and use reused passwords / buy client id/secrets from shitty devs, to get access to verified accounts

Option E: Nobody can even agree on what Twitter spam is.

Is it bots? I follow a few bot accounts and get value out of them. Is it blatantly promotional content? This actually seems to be one of the intended uses of Twitter. Is it low-quality content? I feel like lots of people earnestly tweet out low-quality stuff, and who gets to judge what's low-quality anyway?
>I suggest you think about why a general gets treated differently than a private citizen.

I didn't realize that being an academic at a private research institution was equivalent to being a member of the armed forces.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I should have realized that they were exactly the same thing.

Please.

Too many of these people can't/won't/don't see past C-Panel.
I see lots of spammy content from startup founders, but there is clearly (or maybe bots are better than I think) a human behind it as it appropriately replies to stuff and appropriately piggy backs off trends.

I’ve known a few startups that built their initial user bases utterly deluging Reddit and Twitter in manual spam.
Although just today I was having some Windows containers hiccups, I am looking forward to the day that Microsoft doesn't require installing a third party solution (Docker) to use them.
Full disclaimer, I'm very much not a sysadmin or devops guy.

However, every team I've been on recently has spent a lot of time struggling with gluing their AWS stuff together, diagnosing bugs etc. It didn't seem to save a heck of a lot of time at all.

I couldn't figure out AWS. But I could figure out how to host sites on a linux VPS.

So what's the story here - is serverless something that only makes sense at a certain scale? Because with tools like Caddy the 'old fashioned' way of doing seems really, really easy.
> “USAF says we need top talent cyber warriors,” he continued, enumerating the many barriers to competing with the private sector for such individuals. “Let’s say we successfully do that, and let’s assume we can cut through the bureaucracy/policy and assign them meaningful work that keeps them engaged and allows them the autonomy to move fast. The hardware alone will cause them to leave.”

I'd imagine the kind of people who get Linux running on a toaster would be up for getting an Outlook-compatible email client running on a toaster-equivalent PC.
I would say, because there still isn't much "not-overly-compressed" 1080p content out there.

Most of the time when you see a 1080p stream from cable tv, or most streaming services, it's so heavily compressed it doesn't look that good. I'm still blown away when I walk into best buy and see the demo content on a 1080p TV.

Also more expensive to shoot, and being able to see peoples skin blemishes in ultra sharp clarity doesn't land in the pro column
Starting new at a startup-with-traction several years ago, I had reason to check out the feature flag configs for my first feature. It was hilarious.

- There were hundreds of them, some of them going back to the garage days, multiple years old. Some would turn on/off major functionality core to the product. For example, this was an ecommerce product - one toggle was "show/hide the buy button". (I think that one is staying in.)
- This was all hand-rolled, pre-LaunchDarkly stuff, but at least they were all in one place. I diffed Production, Staging, and a one-off UAT environment - the toggles were MASSIVELY different across each.
I've never really understood everyone's hate for using backslash for the leader key. It's easily reachable with my pinky finger without much hand contortion.

I agree with your point though; part of the reason I'm always apprehensive about redefining keys is because I'm never 100% sure whose keyboard I'm going to be typing on (though that's less of an issue now cuz of COVID).
I totally agree. I recently set up a service using docker, terraform, and AWS fargate. It was interesting, but everything felt like such an abstraction. Firing up a VM and running the app would have taken me as little as 10 minutes vs a multiple day research project. Or using ansible would have taken maybe a couple hours.
Do you have this written up anyplace sharable?
Thanks. I hadn't really looked at it from that perspective. But still that's not mandating that people _get_ the vaccine. That's mandating that a _business_ requires customers/employees to have it (and there are always ways to get accommodations).

Overall, it's confusing to me because I see people arguing "no one should be forced to get a jab who doesn't want one!" But so far I'm not seeing instances of that occurring, so it's unclear why they're arguing that (unless it's mostly a pre-emptive, which is fine and understandable).

Ah, we're small enough that we don't have a marketing team and we don't have capacity to do A/B testing either!

On one meeting we had a typical discussion with ops guys:

- "why wouldn't we optimise our hardware utilisation by doing things a, b, and c."

- "hardware is crap cheap these days. If you need more capacity, just throw more servers at that"

- "is $24k a month in new servers crap cheap by your measure?"

- "comparatively to the amount of how much money these servers will make the same month, it is crap cheap. It is just a little less than an annual cost of mid-tier software dev in Russian office. We account only 12% increase in our revenue due to algorithmic improvements and almost 80 to more traffic we handle. A new server pays back the same month, and you and other devs pay off only in 2 years"
There's a natural tension between fresh indexing and malware detection.

And speaking of tension, HN is clearly of two minds here. We have this article and we have "Google de-indexed my site [[that I didn't realize was hosting malware]] for no reason!" outrage parties.
But he's correct. That's the part you're missing. If he was wrong, that would be completely different. You're focusing on the appearance of the rhetoric, when you should be attempting to determine the truth of the points presented (i.e. which party is correct).

Sometimes- more often than not, I would even say- there is at least one political faction in a society that is completely batshit crazy.

It's never both/all sides. But it can look that way, because whatever accusations are thrown at one side, even if true, are returned with the exact same rhetoric, even if false.

For example you see this in domestic violence court proceedings. Usually, the abuser will accuse the victim of being the real abuser and accuse them of all sorts of things, some of which might even be true (such as hitting an attacker in self defense). This is surprisingly effective, and often times people will side with the abuser or conclude that both parties are part of the problem. But that doesn't change the fact that there is ONE abuser (usually the party with a power advantage) against whom the accusations are justified, and the other party who is comparatively innocent. Even though they accuse each other of the exact same thing and their behavior looks identical from a distance.

When I see a bike-only lane next to parked cars I take it as an indication of where not to ride. They make bike-only infrastructure to kick us off the roads anyway, not for safety.

Twitter's a company with such a strange relationship with the users of its own site.

I modded /r/Twitter on reddit for a year but burned myself out (I chose to de-moderate FYI) simply because Twitter doesn't care about its community or even recognizing the existence of the community that developed around trying to provide the support the company won't provide on its own. Perhaps my take is cynical, but I really do like the concepts of a social media service like Twitter. The execution of it, however?

Perhaps this is an outsider's perspective but it seems people who work for Twitter would rather pat themselves on the back rather than make improvements.

My complaint of the week - you can't say the words "hacked" and "account" without having scambots asking you to get in touch with "their friend" who will help you restore access to your account. or something. It's just a fucking scam.

Also, just look at threads in reddit flagged with the Bug Report, Complaints, or even Question flair. The users are just bewildered and the experience is 100% user-hostile:

The collapse is unfortunate. (I don't use "tragic" since it appears the were no deaths yet)

The timing, if it was going to happen anyway, is useful. But the whole entire situation is bad, so I'm not going to use any positive language to describe it even if this incident has a silver lining.
Sure, but that doesn’t solve the issue of shipping ancient software forever. It’s not default but it’s there, like Python 2 was
App Engine as a single monolithic thing has been broken out into various parts - the datastore is now Firebase (aka Cloud Datastore), the tasks queues are now Cloud Tasks, the blobstore is now Google Cloud Storage, the logging system is now Stackdriver. The thing now called App Engine is the http-serving runtime, and it looks like that part is now being opensourced.

There are some parts of the old monolithic GAE that have doubtful futures (full text search, image processing) and one part that we can't tell from the outside (memcache, which is slightly different from Cloud Memorystore). But overall it doesn't feel like GAE is being discontinued, just changed.

I've been on GAE since the earliest days and while there have definitely been some ups and some downs, the overall offering is vastly better now.
Opposition to Gab has nothing to do with politics. It is very specifically a platform for spreading hate speech and fostering collaboration for hate groups. Believing that black people, Jewish people, Muslims, women, LGBT, etc are inferior subhumans who don't deserve rights is not a legitimate "political viewpoint".

While it is absolutely true that hate groups have been doing their darndest to infect Republicans and conservative Americans with their hatred, that does not legitimize their hatred, and it should never, ever be tolerated in a civilized society.
Twitter tracks “monetizable Daily Active Users”, which are those that they can show ads (or subscribe to Twitter Blue).
Probably a number of things: the Roman empire collapsed so infrastructure fell to ruin and it became much more difficult to travel and trade across long distances. In addition, with the collapse came a lack of protection from an organized military, Rome itself was sacked multiple times but communities would regularly get invaded and raided by bandits and various tribes and gangs. That's perhaps why we see the development of castles in the middle ages, as a defense mechanism for an age in which each community was more or less on their own.

There was also a major volcanic winter in the 500s that triggered global cooling and caused droughts and starvation.

There was also the Justinian plague in the 500s which was supposedly worse than the Bubonic plague.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter_of_536

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_of_Justinian

Plagues and droughts have killed off more than a few civilizations, but seeing that these occurred in the wake of the collapse of the Roman empire, it probably accelerated the gradual decline that would have occurred and maybe prevented any sort of recovery.
> "The History of Rome" podcast that has been going for something like 15 years now, and is super excellent

If you're talking about Mike Duncan's podcast, note that it ended in 2012 with the deposing of the final Western Emperor.

There is a spiritual successor by Robin Pierson called "The History of Byzantium" that picks up shortly after the end and is still ongoing after over 230 episodes.

Duncan's current podcast is "Revolutions", which covers a variety of historical revolutions. I've been listening for a bit now and am only on the third (French) of ten revolutions. Definitely recommend the show for people seeking a history podcast.

Does it suggest a natural origin, or just that it isn't likely to be a Dyson swarm?
Can be. Paying for SaaS offerings like the gsuite or o365 is a great deal for say, 100 seats, instead of paying someone to administer on prem email. "Cloud administration" can be more work, less work, or about the same work as classic systems administration. That's why carefully running the numbers first should be necessary.
The displayed sender address in Gmail or any other email system has no meaning whatsoever.
