In regions where they enforce the laws written about moving over for traffic - you get pulled over even if you're going above the limit.

Flow of traffic is more important than speed. Now if you're going the speed limit in the right most lane (not well below the speed limit) then you'll not likely have an issue even if you are "impeding" traffic at that point. It's more about taking up the left/passing lanes.

Btw - these rules exist even for single lane roads. You will need to pull over for traffic behind you even if you're going the speed limit or above. Generally there is some advisories or rules about 3 cars being behind you.

My understanding of Alpine is that it is a minimal distro more suited to embedded systems and similar (happy to be corrected on that).

If you're using headless boxes for servers then Ubuntu or the house variety of the cloud platform of your choice is almost certainly best.

> assured that their goods would fail shortly after the warranty expired

I have seen a number of similar comments on this thread. Manufacturers were dragged kicking and screaming --they were forced, through legislation-- to switch to lead-free solder. Nobody --nobody-- in manufacturing wanted this. This idea that going lead-free was a conspiracy by manufacturers to have their products fail more often is completely false.

One of the most well-known episodes of mass failures due to tin whiskers happened when the Swatch Group (watch manufacturer) converted to lead-free solder. They had so many failures that they ended-up requesting an exception from RoHS [0].

As I said in another comment. The problem with RoHS as it pertains to tin whisker failures is that we will likely never know what percentage of failing consumer, commercial and industrial products end-up in the landfill because of the forced and premature transition to this lead-free solder. If one studies that history of the transition it is easy to see it includes many companies clamoring for years of additional studies before making the change. We went into it by force in 2006 without having had full data on potential issues.

At the time I was manufacturing expensive FPGA-based real time image processing boards. I made the decision to stop shipping product to Europe.

My decision was based on a very simple reality: I still had to honor a years-long warranty in Europe and could not include any clause stating that we could not be responsible for a government-mandated technology known to have serious problems that could lead to failures at any time, even very early on. Companies were forced through mandate and given absolutely no immunity from the very real tin whisker problem. I did not ship a product into Europe for two or three years. We were busy enough everywhere else, so I did not care one bit. We actually had European customers who needed the hardware buy through a US-based path and then hand carry into the EU through whatever means. Not my problem.

idiotsecant, other people having worse jobs doesn't mean you should be happy with the same (or even better). Should we limit ourselves to be content with doing better than 90%? Where would the Torvalds, Stroustups, and Dijkstras come from then?

Those cars don't have huge profit margins. They require selling in bulk to make a ton of money on them. That's why SUVs and trucks reign supreme here in the US. They're cheap to build, have less safety and emissions requirements, and people pay ridiculous money for them here. There's a reason Tesla started with premium cars, because they make more money. Same reason Ford and GM have stopped selling regular cars here. The day of the cheap car is long gone. $45000 is the average sale price here in the US for a car right now. I dunno how so many people can afford a $700+ car payment... but it's pretty normal.

> It's one of the key goals of Russian information warfare

This was also overtly one of the goals of Trump's political messaging. In the past, American politicians merely hid or distorted unpleasant facts. Trump and his political strategists instead attacked the problem head-on, tapping into populist skepticism and anti-intellectualism in order to promulgate the idea that all truth is relative and that correctness is a matter of opinion.

Of course, all politicians benefit from this state of affairs. Hence all this empty "fact-checking" that actually just exacerbates the problem.

> This is such an American/Anglo point of view, who can only think in terms of empire, master/slave, etc.

No, this is a human point of view. China has been consistently engaged in this exact practice since before the idea of 'China' even really existed. Strong groups will ultimately culturally / economically / militarily subsume weaker ones. It's how families grow into tribes grow into federations grow into city-states grow into nations grow into empires. China well and truly understands how this works. Pretending that everyone on the continent is actually Han Chinese is practically the state religion, for good reason - it helps to expand the in-group and galvanize the tribe against the out-group for the purpose of perpetuating the above cycle.

It's fashionable to pretend that western imperialism is the only imperialism. It's only because the west is so good at cultural and economic imperialism (and rarely actual military imperialism) that people make this point. The west is generally successful at spreading it's values because people want to adopt those values. The same is not true of more autocratic systems.

Except it is not like every other endemic disease. It is very contagious, systemic (i.e. more than just a respiratory infection), has a propensity to cause serious long term effects, and immunity against it seems to wane.

People lead their lives under all sorts of necessary restrictions (e.g. seatbelts, motorbike helmets). Unfortunately these extra restrictions highlighted that uncomfortable and inevitable fact. Some people have been able to deal with this better than others.
"That’s because deep inside it’s secretly something like a mastercard maestro, no?"

Maybe? There is a maestro sign on it, but it is not a debit card.

But my point was, that I do not know, nor want to know all the details of banking communication. I want it to work.

It is a normal card around here and it does work in europe. So I never had the need to change, until now. So now I have a credit card, too and that is fine for me. But most other people here still don't, as most do not do international transactions.

So if Stripe wants to get into that market, they likely will have to adopt. No one here would offer stripe on their webshop - with only a few being able to use it.
> Keep in mind that today due to the great popularity of Docker, Alpine Linux is one of the most deployed operating systems currently in use, because within every other operating system that uses docker, the docker image it uses is almost always Alpine Linux.

Isn't this a little overstated? I'm willing to accept it has a majority, especially once you get into custom images, but e.g. docker's library images are usually debian based, with a -slim or -alpine variant available, and of developer provided images on my network, debian + derived images have a majority, while Alpine's statement leads you to expect some kind of 90% share.
Parler got booted from everywhere based on alleged connections to Jan 6th that, in my estimation, were very tenuous, no worse than what had been seen on more established platforms, and seemed to me to be little more than a convenient pretext to shut down an upstart competitor. Whatever your take on Parler, the episode was a sobering lesson in just how difficult the big players in this industry can make it to do business if they decide they really want to get rid of you.

Maybe the word "censorship" is too loaded, but the claim that big tech platforms permit a narrower range of expression than they used to is so uncontroversial that it's barely worth defending. That's not always a bad thing; many of the people who've been banned in recent years are noxious pricks whom I don't miss, but what happens when the people who've been banned from Twitter and YouTube, kicked off AWS, terminated by Cloudflare and blocked by Visa and MasterCard decide to start a Substack because its commitment to free speech means it's the only place that will host them? I won't name names but I can think of, for example, a couple of semi-prominent figures who have been banned from other platforms due to their, ahem, "heterodox" views on vaccines, who now write on Substack and reportedly make a very healthy income from doing so. And worse actors might join the platform if they haven't already.

Is it really such a conspiratorial "slippery slope" to suggest that if the people who've been banned from everywhere else grow a huge, lucrative audience on Substack, then Substack is going to come under increasing amounts of pressure to kick them off - pressure far greater than what it's received so far in the face of lesser controversies? What form might this pressure take?

Really great techniques listed in this thread! I wanted to point out though that it's generally nicer to the website owner if you enable `Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate`. The difference in the amount of bandwidth charges for the site owner is quite significant, especially should you want to do comprehensive crawls.

Yes, go ahead and disable that header when piping curl's output into `less`, however when converting the curl request into python just remember to re-add that header. Pretty much every python library I've used to handle web requests will automatically unzip the response from the server so you don't need to futz about with the zipping/unzipping logic yourself.

-----

The Progressive Era is when the social sciences were created and then used to inform the actions of government. This gave those "sciences" power, and moved power to experts (which come from academia) and away from politicians. (At least, that was the goal.)

Broadly speaking, any academic discipline with the word "science" tacked onto it is a social science, though harder sciences (e.g. biology) can be infused with power as well (c.f. Lysenkoism in the USSR).

The Progressive Era goal makes intuitive sense: if you need to know what to do about a problem, ask the experts. The experts are in academia, and academia has this great track record for discovering the truth (aka the "marketplace of ideas").

Unfortunately, adding power to academia polluted that marketplace so that now ideas with power (that are only weakly true) outcompete strongly true ideas that do not confer power. Consider today how difficult it is for anyone to go against The Science™. I mean, who would even want to?

If "science" truly still was a "marketplace of ideas", no one would. Now that it's actually become a "marketplace of powerful ideas", everyone should be suspect: Is this idea really true? Or is it merely powerful (and only weakly true)?

Actually, there are science disciplines that aren't infused with power. Those disciplines have no policy component, i.e. politicians can (and do) ignore them. Astronomy is a good example.

In the USSR, all of their hard sciences were still useful after the USSR fell. But those Progressive Era "social sciences" from the USSR? They're all garbage. Useless. Because they were "science infused with power", which doesn't reliably produce truth—only power.
The maturity of your organisation’s use of containers is quite important: Alpine is a fantastic platform to build very lightweight images, but there’s organisations where people want containers that have everything. I’d say, as your usage of and experience with containers grows, aim to build more lightweight images and eventually you’ll get to the point where Alpine is the logical next step, rather than being the right choice because people on HN love it.

The car I bought a year ago is worth $5k more than what I paid for it. If I sell it now I’d make a profit.
I don't think you agree with the GP. The point is that companies are responsible for more than maximizing profit, just like all of us. We all live in the world and our communities and are responsible for far more than maximising our own lives. It's partly enlightended self-interest - if we don't take care of the communities, we lose out - and partly just not being sociopaths.

The claim that companies should be sociopaths with no enlightened self-interest is commonly repeated, by companies and investors themselves, but has no ground to stand on. Why they heck should they get to do that?

While the difference between some distros is almost academic, other distros have very strong principles that lead them to having very different forms and functions. Alpine falls into that category - if one were to not 'worry' about distros as you seem to be suggesting and downloaded Alpine without reading up on it, you would likely be put out by what you find.

Alpine is a distro with a purpose, and that is worth 'worrying' about.

> If you're not planning for this scenario, are you really planning for the worst case?

No, I was being a little loose with my language there. I didn’t mean the literal worst case of being patient 0. I agree that I don’t plan for that. My personal risk tolerance is higher than that.

I meant the more colloquial worst case of hearing about a deadly virus spreading rapidly in the news and then deciding to react with an abundance of caution once it seems probable that my community will be affected. Then I’m fine playing it safe.

Just like I would with any other forecasted threat from Mother Nature like a fire, hurricane, blizzard, etc.

The more certainty it’s going to affect me + the greater uncertainty of the short & long terms effects = the greater the caution.

So in 2020 when I was highly confident COVID would infect my community + there was very little info about how deadly it was = I was overly cautious

As more info came out I became less cautious.

Now they're just normal corporations, the employee pride is gone.
