BGP itself didn’t cause this problem. An operational error/bug/whatever that manipulated network configurations was the cause of the outage. BGP is just the messenger: if you misconfigure it your network will break, but it’s not BGP’s fault.

A more accurate checklist item would be “is it the network?”
Linux? You could argue that red hat did the monetization there, but torvalds didn't, not before it got bigger.

Penicillin would also be one. It had to be forced on the industry because they couldn't monetize it, so you could argue that "more hustle would have helped".
I usually add a

I feel that the M1 still has the real distortion field working for it. But on the other hand I just bought the new iPad Air (my original Air still works fine but I thought 10years was enough). The fact that a decent pro laptop class or mini desktop class CPU fits in a tablet with no cooling and gives me over 10hrs of useful work is kinda crazy.
There are ways to correct inaccurate facts that don't lower discourse. Adding a pithy comment to the end of a correction is not productive and only serves to add emotion and tribalism to the discussion. Adding a source for the data helps too since there's no reason to believe one set of data over another if they're both unsourced. This instead invites tribalism to be the determinate of which set of data is correct and ignores the possibility that both are wrong.
My thought too..

I'd argue that someone hitting an ambulance crossing a red light should be considered on an individual case, and we should accept that 99% of the time, everyone (who are not driving an emergency vehicle) are on mental autopilot and it works Just Fine (tm) and that when the rare case comes, we should accept that, we shouldn't punish people for being humans and not hyper vigilant machines.

Sure, it's easy to argue that "when you drive, you should DRIVE!" yeah, sure, outside of the race-track, that's just not how human brains work, without some boost of adrenaline, there's simply no way to keep the kind of vigilance required to act correctly 100% of the time.. (heck, I've driven out early during races because I've felt myself going back to "just driving around" mode).
Even if unintentional, they could answer for negligence or malpractice. Doctors, for instance, already bear that responsibility.
Open-source software allows everything, even to add proprietary parts to the OSS part and undermines the concept of free software. In open-source software, a mega corporation can theoretically take the code, add restrictions, backdoor, and re-license the software as proprietary. This is taking freedom away from the users… Free software prevents the adding of proprietary parts through licenses that give the user control over the project.
It is a common (new) myth that sysadmins didn’t code.

There were some IT technicians who couldn’t code and some operations staff who couldn’t code (and would proudly claim this, for some reason). But tools like ansible, salt, chef and terraform were written by sysadmins.

In fact a lot of non-feature code in my companies such as database fencing programs and automated blue/green rollouts has been written by sysadmins.

We’ve just been starting to call them something else since 2013 now.

Exactly what I am afraid of; and this fear is keeping me from quitting my job.
At my current job I worked hard to deliver on a "innovative" solution, which would have removed a lot of manual work, but the project got re-prioritized when the manager was fired.

I don't find any satisfaction in the current project; earlier I used to look forward to work, now it has become a chore. I have enough savings to last me 6-8 months. But I don't know if I'll be able to bounce back in case I end up wasting all those months.

> this m.2 to SATA port replicator reportedly works perfectly with Linux

That's a port multiplier and if that works or not depends more on the SATA controller and less on the operating system. Far from all SATA controllers support port multipliers. And even less support fast port multipliers (FIS), which is not much of an issue if your main target is size.
I don't think many businesses think of their dark patterns/retention schemes as predatory is part of the problem. Outside of the app stores, my experience with subscription services is that a significant number of them engage in what I would consider poor behaviour (making it difficult to cancel/change the level you are subscribed at/trying to get your CC details for trials, etc.). Which resulted in me mostly avoiding subscription services, with the app store and having the ability to control subscriptions from a central location I'm much more willing to sign up and as a result am paying for more of them now then at any point in the past

I'd agree that I don't think it's a majority that are bad actors, but I'd say it's far more then one or two, and atleast enough to impact the decisions users are making. I'd prefer this kind of subscription management functionality was handled via bank accounts, but until that's possible I'll probably keep using the app stores

Nostalgia is a seductive liar - George Ball.
No, the definition of a monopoly is "the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service."

A company that is not easy to undercut could just be an efficient business that operates roughly at cost without excessive margins.
Part of the reason that we started this was because current sci-fi magazines are frankly…terrible… for everyone involved.

- Terrible for readers, as stories are all locked behind paid magazines, most of which have confusing 1995-era websites. There is also no way to see what a story is about before reading it. E.g. I can’t just say, “I want to read sci-fi about biology” and get results. I can’t even fund things I want to read about via the magazine model.

- Terrible for writers, as the process is a black box that takes 2-3 months to get a reply + you only end up getting paid $100, tops. Magazines also usually take the rights to your story.

As a result, the genre is largely a niche thing that scares away outsiders. I wrote a bit about this on the About page. Sci-fi has a huge impact on contemporary and future culture, but I don’t think a century-old magazine model is the way forward.

Instead, our goal is to get enough sponsors that we can pay vastly more than current magazines, while also channeling their content for a positive cause (promoting science.)

> “ It sounds like you plan…”

No, we don’t plan on publishing everything that gets submitted and this is mentioned in the submission form. We explicitly ask if people want us to publish their story, even if they don’t win. I only added the question because we just launched and could use some more content; the ultimate goal is to publish many stories and give rewards for each one.

But, since this seems unclear, I will put this in the FAQ.

Ultimately, the goal is to promote science and tech. To do this, we fund a ton of high-quality, open-access sci-fi while generously rewarding writers that contribute. It’s not to fund the private careers of a handful of professional sci-fi writers in magazines that only a small audience reads.

Even then, I foresee us being a sort of “farm league” where non-professionals can build up an audience and then later sign a real book deal with a traditional publisher (or we will become a better version of that publisher ourselves.)
Love me some AMD, running them on all my machines currently.

However on desktop where power usage isn't an issue, Intel 12th gen performance has pulled ahead of AMD. Theoretically even on laptops too but I suspect they have the common problem of powerful Intel cpus in laptops where they cooling just can't hack it and they throttle to make it worthless getting top end Intel. So I believe AMD is still better on laptops presently.
It's not self hosting if it's not on your hardware, on your property, using your internet connection.

It's still just having some other random person or company hosting it FOR you.

The single biggest problem with real self-hosting is not a software one, even with all the software and hardware setup and working, the real problem is limits imposed on normal internet subscriptions by modern ISPs: Carrier grade NAT, lack of access to public routable IPs, lack of smarthosting combined with the IP blocking outgoing ports (which is somehow not illegal).
I mean Gaddafi had a pretty stable dictatorship for a pretty long time, but dictatorships are anything but stable and they are always challenged. As soon as the dictatorship cannot deliver mainly economic prosperity, they will fail. True for other forms as well, but the economic growth comes with desires of political participation at some point.

> I honestly don't see why people think a dictatorship is necessarily more oppressive than other forms of government.

To be honest, that isn't too creative of you.
I've been self hosting for nearly 10 years now, and in all this time the biggest pain point I remember is setting up OpenLDAP. That's why I created LLDAP (https://github.com/nitnelave/lldap), a minimalistic LDAP server with a nice web interface that is very easy to set up and configure. It needs a little bit more love before the 1.0 release, but it's already very usable.
The point is M1 is extremely fast at video editing because it has DSAs designed for these workloads. So using them as a general purpose workload proxy is just bad.

I agree with most of this vision, think these values are important, and would love to see Mozilla realize them.

Given the values outlined here, I was sad to see that Mozilla doesn't seem to be looking much beyond the centralized platforms of today's commercial web. They see the "minimal barriers to entry for both users and publishers" as one of the key properties that makes the web such an important communication medium, and "Site-Building Ergonomics" is a top-level area where they see possibilities for improvement. Despite this, I don't see any recognition that it's still too difficult for ordinary users to publish their own information, which is why we have big commercial platforms where people do this, funded by ads, with all the problems that come along with that.

I think the most revolutionary thing Mozilla (and other browser makers) could do to realize this vision would be to turn their browser into a publishing platform. Browsers already have excellent tools for editing HTML, CSS, and JS built in, and they already speak the relevant protocols. Why not give every user a base URL for their personal site, and serve pages under it directly from the browser running on their computer? That would really lower the barrier to entry for users to become publishers and help realize the values of Openness and Agency.

Of course, such sites wouldn't be available 100% of the time, but they would probably be available enough to cover most of things people use the big platforms for: sharing text, photos and videos with their family and Internet friends. They would not need to be ad-supported and wouldn't raise the associated privacy issues. There are other problems to solve, but Mozilla is uniquely qualified to solve them.

The very first web browser had this feature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWideWeb#Features And it seems the perfect way to realize much of this vision. Why not bring it back?

Create a post under "Ask HN" or "Tell HN".

A few years ago I was in thread where it turned out that a couple of the commenters lived in Zurich. We thought a meet up would be a nice idea and created such a post.

Maybe a dozen people met up in a public place for beers and chats.

The effort was totally minimal and you'll find that enough participants live in Amsterdam and enjoy hooking up for such a gathering.

The only challenge, I think, is to find a public venue, which offers enough space for such an impromptu meetup.

In the Zurich case we met at http://www.ziegelohlac.ch/ (sorry, page in German) which offers enough seating and when the weather is nice, seating is essentially unlimited.

How do you identify the group? Well, we just scribbled it on an A4 page. But that wouldn't even have been necessary. You know them when you see them.

Good luck.
It would be better that independent studies tried to detect errors, not fraud.

Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between both but of there is a track record of fraud no reputable journal should accept more papers from that source.

Edit: As I re-read my comment I worry because research should not really depend on "prestige", it should be based on cold facts. On the other hand I don't see any other way to deal with malicious actors.
Cool, but where is the actual spec? Can't seem to find it...
You said:

> It cures cancer, but it is never prescribed because it is unpatentable.

The article I found says:

> The occurrence of side effects such as neurotoxicity as well as the suspicion of DCA carcinogenicity still restricts the clinical use of DCA.

I am thoroughly anti-establishment and particularly anti patent as well. I am a libertarian communist aka an anarchist. But you're not going to win any arguments misrepresenting things like that, saying "the cure for cancer exists but they won't use it because they can't profit".

It sounds like what they are trying to do is figure out what mechanism DCA uses to work, so they can find away to do the same thing without the toxicity issues.

Of course everything in our world is touched and marred by the profit motive. So perhaps they have not studied DCA enough because of this profit issue in general. But perhaps it does a good profit opportunity since DCA is toxic - they have to invent something new that does the same thing as DCA without the toxicity.

Anyway I sympathize with your feelings about the world, but your obvious black and white views and grand claims aren't going to make you very popular in online discussions. The profit motive does suck, but the world is still a very complex place.
Datapoint is part of a dataset. Otherwise it's just an anecdote.

If you trust anecdotes, your conclusions will be wrong most often than right. You might be lucky here and there, but will lose in the longrun.

Science is about being right most of the time and winning in the long-run.
> Are you implying that getting init script customisations overwritten by package managers isn't a problem with non-systemd init managers?

Traditionally, init scripts were installed into /etc but package managers (or at least some of them?) took/take care to not overwrite files under /etc but instead let you merge in the new changes.
The problem with this line of argument is that this dimensionality reduction is being done without paying any heed to the end goal better linear separation of the classes. One can get lucky and get a low-d projection that separates well but thats pure luck.

Let me see if I can draw an example

-----------------

The '+' and '-' denote the data points of the two different classes. In this example the PCA direction will be the along the X axis, which would be the worst axis to project on to separate the classes. The best in this case would have been the Y axis.

A far better approach would be to use a dimensionality reduction technique that is aware of the end goal. One such example is Fisher discriminant analysis and its kernelized variant.

It’s more complex than that and the specific point being made is accurate - Rosetta 2 doesn’t support virtualisation in the sense that it cannot perform translation in the context of virtual machine.

If you run an x64 Mac binary on the host, Rosetta (simplified) translates the code to arm64 then runs it. If you run a Linux VM and execute an x64 Linux binary or container inside it, Rosetta can’t help you. You’ll be running inside a big emulator - in fact, Docker Desktop uses QEMU under the hood I think.
I agree with you all as well
Mind you in that case a cheap Chromebook with a decent screen would fit the bill
8GB ram eh... multiple VM's running, VS Code, few browser windows (many tabs), Cypress, make sure spotify is going. I'm sitting at 22gb right now... and that's before firing up Android studio.

Replicating prod environments with lots of data means large VM's in my case.

Seriously good screens are lovely.

If someone were going around telling me that they don’t think my husband and I should be married isn’t hate, then I’m not sure hate as a word has a lot of meaning left.

This is a bit off topic from the article, but to say why I think that: in the US a great deal of rights are conferred to married couples. Being able to have a child through surrogacy and have both of us presumed parents, being able to visit my husband in the hospital, getting to be on his health insurance. If anyone wishes that we don’t have access to those things but claims to not hate me, I think they are carefully choosing to ignore the ramifications of their opinion.

All that said, as it was said elsewhere, Eich wasn’t fired, he resigned because of the backlash. The public has just as much a right to protest and boycott as someone does to spout off hate.
I think, if you're familiar with go, this is an uncharitable reading of the question. The victory condition in this game is very directly analogous to a not-uncommon source of (sometimes-game-deciding) violence in go--two nearby weak groups where connection means a decisive victory for whichever player achieves it.

Having not played Hex, I can't say whether it's strategically similar (although just from the first couple of chapters, there are definitely similar concepts of important shapes and ladder breakers).

There is a lot of truth to that. I just realized that I have a hard time to discuss fictional work with people, that base their criticism on a highly subjective view of "logic". Especially when that "logic" fails to be satisfied by actual, historical events and actions.

Heck, there was one guy that stormed the beaches of Normandy with a sword, internet meme culture considers that be cool. Reality had stranger things happening then a lot of fiction. And still people complain about fictional people in a fictional story not acting logical. As long as the fictional logic is in itself consistent, and that includes visuals and style of the fictional world, I'm fine with it.
