(There's a tacit assumption here that the data across tenants is commingled in tables, and that's being disputed elsewhere in the thread, but playing along..)

You wouldn't be able to do that without forcing downtime for all customers, for the duration it takes to restore the snapshot and then replay the logs. Not to mention the risks of the process failing somehow

You could narrow the window to just the "replay" portion, if you were able to stand up an extra database/infra, to switch over to when it was ready. But at some point you'd probably still have to go read only to checkpoint the logs and begin the replay.

It's of course possible to do something more complicated here and stream the changes then eventually enact a failover, but this would all be too complex and error prone to introduce in their current crisis mode. It's something I'd suggest considering when architecting their DR/BCP, but it's too late for that kind of elegance (and complexity) now.
When doing bulk deletes like this what safe guards do you put in place, other than testing the script up/down in another environment, turning off app servers etc (which Im guessing they did not do)?
No, isomorphic labs was set up to specifically commercialize this. If their goal is to be a discovery company, they are fairly naive.
Not quite the same but at Fandom (Wikia), every wiki has its own DB (over 300,000 wikis), and they are clustered across a bunch of servers (usually balanced by traffic). It works well - but we don't ever really need to query across databases. There's a bunch of logic around instance/db selection but that's about as complex as it gets.
The coin is the proof that the energy was used. You're effectively trading how much you value energy.
If you were able to defeat the crypto algorithms used by crypto currencies wouldn't that also mean you could defeat the cryptography used by banks, governments, online commerce, etc.? It would essentially be a doomsday scenario for all cryptography.

If enough warehouses unionize they could have a shot at it. But yeah - it is pretty damn hard at a huge scale to take on a behemoth like Amazon. I can see it happening if there is really a will to do it.
So you are saying we will see crypto crash in 2-3 years? We are living in times were onboarding is the fastest and is getting faster all the time. TikTok first to 100 Million users was 1000x faster than Facebook. I strongly believe you have it in reverse.
It will be unimaginable. I truly hope it is closer than I think it is.
Merkle trees were invented in 1979.
See if someone can sneak you a copy of the MasterCard dispute manual. Beyond that I’m not aware of any public documentation on this process.
The API is called Insertable Streams. It's not actually supposed to be Chrome-specific, others are just lagging in implementing it.

Element has native E2EE for 1-to-1 calls, but uses Jitsi for group calls. Native E2EE group calls actually also exist, called Element Call (https://element.io/blog/introducing-native-matrix-voip-with-...) but they're yet to be integrated into Element and specced into Matrix, I believe.
Maybe you can't but someone else can. The question is open to anyone who can and wants to answer.
It's not about the bets. If BTC can transparently be converted to USD or GBP then it does actually offer value to the person using BTC to buy services. I'm not sure why you're so adamant about insisting that Expedia isn't buying into "bets" or whatever. Having parts of a transaction happen off-chain doesn't constitute a repudiation of cryptocurrency. Not everyone is a Bitcoin maximalist. Demonstrating it has value for people is enough to support the GP's comment, in this case value for people that hold BTC to purchase real goods and services, the same way any other fiat currency is used. It's not like a non-US entity that takes USD as payment is endorsing US political actions, it's just trying to receive payment for goods and services.

I'm tired of these shifting goalposts in crypto conversations. They always go like this:

1. I derive value from crypto

2. There's no value in crypto! Show me a usecase!

3. <Presents usecase where crypto is used to derive value>

4. But that uses Fiat/off-chain/<something not crypto>/<vendor that doesn't know what crypto is>/<workflow that's replacable by fiat> so crypto has no value!

The claim the GP made is that an individual can derive value from crypto, not that this value is untainted by fiat, off-chain movement, or any of the other incidental claims. When you use USD or GBP to buy a good, the good itself has probably traded hands between many currencies before the final product was sold to you using the fiat you paid. Does that mean USD or GBP are "useless" because input costs for your product were paid for in RMB? No, you still derive value from fiat.
100%. I think I share a pretty common trait on HN that, if someone gives me marketing speak, I just want to ask "OK, but what does it do?" There are a lot of promises of the crypto community that are just fundamentally wrong, and when these issues are pointed out, you get lots of non-answers in the form of "OK Boomer". 2 simple examples:

1. Proof-of-work has inherent, fundamental, no-way-to-work-around-it issues regarding scale. The more value Bitcoin holds, the more Argentina's-worths-of-energy that is needed to keep it secure. That is by design when it comes to proof-of-work. It is a guaranteed dead end. Proof-of-stake does not have that same problem, but ironically I see so much antipathy towards proof-of-stake by large swaths of the crypto community.

2. The fundamental idea that crypto can "escape" government financial controls is false. Or, at least it's no different than the fact that selling meth is also capable of evading government controls, but at huge risk. Government can make anything it wants illegal if it so desires.
Zuckerberg is an attractive enough target that someone would go to the trouble of trying to compromise his MBP's iSight firmware (and such compromises have been proven to be possible, and pretty easy in pre-T2 macs.)

The tape, however, is probably about really making completely sure he doesn't accidentally show video on a call or videoconference when he didn't mean to.

Video could easily reveal even his approximate location (via shadows and such), and that could potentially lead to deriving, say, that he's working on an acquisition or talks with another company, leading to stock manipulation/speculation and so on.
Good point.

Lens to object distance is still an important issue in practice however.
We could solve this by probably just having better federal protection and laws surrounding unions (the EU is better in this regard) but unfortunately those some corporations have huge lobbying arms that make it difficult to get the government to do so
No, its not an estimation at all.

I'm just grabbing a random number. Basically, it doesn't matter how well it performs because the current "solution" is just wasting energy at peak periods on the grid right now.
The real nugget of truth is found a quarter of the way into the article.

> I’m not trying to hurt her; therefore, she shouldn’t feel hurt.

The author correctly identified the underlying dysfunctional belief[1], but fails to address it head on. Instead he finds ways to thematically "care more".

> I could have communicated my love and respect for her by not leaving tiny reminders for her each day that she wasn’t considered.

While, not untrue, without addressing the root-cause ie: the dysfunctional belief, there will continue to be an underlying friction between the internally held belief and the behaviors he wants to perform. This can work in the short-term, but only by confronting the dysfunctional belief can a long-term change be made[2]. Presumably there were many other manifestations of his dysfunctional belief in his marriage that were not listed but which played out in similar ways.

1. From this list of dysfunctional beliefs apply to more than only parent-child relationships http://www.issendai.com/psychology/estrangement/dysfunctiona...

2. Based on only the information available in the article. Inferences based on a limited amount of information are always subject to what the author reveals and no more.
I have no idea... I am just answering the question.
Haha.

I didn't even know solitary bees species existed. Live and learn.
The communication strategy that saved our relationship is not to talk about what the other does or doesn't do, but instead talk about how some things make you feel. For example: "when there is a glass on the sink I feel like I'm feeling undervalued..." the other than needs to first acknowledge how the other feels "I hear that you feel undervalued..." before giving their argument.

It sounds very formulaic but it really helps to deescalate the situation. It's much more difficult to escalate a fight if your partner says they are hurting.
Reaper is easily my favourite software project out there, been using it for years. Still not got around to trying Ninjam though.

Realearn is an essential extension if you like to use Reaper with control surfaces.
> In law, intentions matter.

This is almost always the sticking point when people from tech misunderstand law.

The fact that computers do not understand intent is fundamental to learning code. I think that leads to a lot of tech folks not groking that one of the primary functions of the legal system is to systematically determine intent.
And thus the platform will die before it has even taken off.
Does that work? I've sometimes thought about trying it, but never actually done so.
This seems to be the crux of the issue:

> ... in recent weeks, California Governor Gavin Newsom and his office “began to interfere” with the Activision suit. “The Office of the Governor repeatedly demanded advance notice of litigation strategy and of next steps in the litigation,” Proctor wrote in the email, which was seen by Bloomberg. “As we continued to win in state court, this interference increased, mimicking the interests of Activision’s counsel.”
I agree with you, it might not have chosen the best example pictures to use. Something with an alpha channel png->webp could be a better showcase. Thanks

Signing has tons of advantages over typing, since you can convey emotion/tone with your hands and facial expressions. I'd also imagine it has a higher WPM, although WPM might be a bad measure since some small words like "a" can get skipped when signing.
With some poor power saving implementations keeping the mike on can make sense. Switching the power back on when reactivating the mike may cause noticable stutter. An application with limited permissions might not be able to turn the mike off without dropping the device to some low power state.

Being in a conference, muted, hearing something that requires action, hitting "unmute", freeze for a second... bad thing.

A hardware switch would be the better option. But then people wanting to hear you cannot inform you about still being muted.

> Sanctions are an alternative to bullets.

I'm going to have to disagree there. Sanctions once enacted are definitely an alternative to war, after all, bullets all by themselves don't constitute an act but sanctions are an act.
This is one of the funniest things when introducing people to some of the ingredients and methods used in commercial food production -- stuff like Xanthan gum as a thickener, soy lechtin as an emulsifier, or calcium propanate as a preservative. Once people know what they do and how it works they stop being "scary chemicals" corporations are putting in our food. I think it's a branding issue, sodium bicarbonate is a scary chemical but baking soda is a household ingredient, MSG is super scary but seaweed salt sounds delicious.
Agadmator shouldn't really be seen as a game analyst, he just reads out the PGN and has the computer going in the background. His content is mostly directed towards casual chess players (or not even chess players at all, just youtube watchers interested in chess) who want to keep up with some more interesting & current high level games.
I agree and I think Chrome OS on chromebooks proves this is true for a huge number of people.
You're implying that he's helping the citizenry directly and not the state itself. I think that's a dubious claim when it's a conference hosted in Pyongyang.
This reads really pathetic to me. If that's really why she left and not simply that she found a higher value male or something that's just plain crazy and she's doing him a favor.
> How is this not extremely concerning for anybody who cares about privacy?

I manage some properties for a family member on the side, one of which is in a very bad neighborhood. When I travel to this neighborhood I have a certain state of alertness that I would not normally have in my boring suburbistani neighborhood. This is better known as "situational awareness" - the man approaching me in my own neighborhood is likely a just having a friendly conversation, the man approaching me in bad neighborhood is guaranteed going to at least try to bum a smoke off me, which I don't have as I don't smoke, and will likely act belligerent if I refuse to give him money as a follow-on to the request for a smoke.

Contextually, I expect a video conferencing software to be listening to and watching me even if it doesn't necessarily reflect in the UI, it has the capability and is actively meant to do so. As such, I explicitly don't have any form of sensitive conversation in the vicinity regardless of status. On the other hand, I do not expect it to do so when not running nor my laptop to do anything similar.

Perhaps there is a legitimate criticism to be made here of poor UX around "not listening" - but to paint this as an "extremely concerning" issue is sky-is-falling critique. This over-the-top concern seems further alarmist in that both my laptop and phone display clear and obvious warnings to the user when the microphone is hot.
Regardless, they are non-fungible tokens with expiration date.

But if you really want to be extra pedantic: the Ethereum Name System is a domain system running on the blockchain, and each domain is a NFT with an expiration date.
So you’re arguing that insider trading has no effect at all?
> kNN combined with embeddings from pre-trained deep learning models can be very useful for information retrieval

Indeed! We've been able to build simple reverse image search apps and other solutions using the power of embeddings from pre-trained ML models: https://gist.github.com/fzliu/c9380a7f9ba411adeff0b727cdba15....

One quick note: k-d trees are great for indexing low-dimensional data, but for high-dimensional embeddings they tend to be a poor indexing choice since you'll end up visiting more nodes in the tree than you'd like. I found [1] to be a great overview of different indexing types for high-dimensional vectors and the advantages of each.

"How in the world do you see this victimless?"

Just because NK has victims does not mean that his actions have victims as well.

"It has nukes pointed at Seoul"

Every nuclear country has their nukes pointed at somewhere. US included.

"holding ... US troops hostage"

I really do not get what you mean by this.

"It should've been life imprisonment"

It is easy to call for absurd amounts of vengeful punishment towards someone that poses no danger.

"for aiding and abetting terrorist organizations like North Korea"

I think that your definition of "terrorist organization" is too wide. Might as well call the US a terrorist organization at that point.

"Can you say the same for someone caught laundering money for Hamas or ISIS? That it's a victimless crime?"

He did not launder money. He just did a cryptocurrency presentation.
> and I don't believe Zoom (or anyone else) is interested in whether or not I'm eating while muted.

If they are, the continuing video feed is pretty likely to answer their question.

I agree, thanks. But I saw your comment just now and it's too late to edit. :(
Are they unique because their problem domain allows it or because the leadership is uniquely ideologically driven (and competent) to implement efficient, flat systems?
Not to be rude hopefully, but those all look like stock high quality desktop backgrounds or 1:1 copies of an iphone add. Images seem less about artistic meaning and more about coloring and related implications about an iphone.
Other people are able to compartmentalize and put it off until later while going about their day. Having one of each in a disagreement is like adding fuel to the fire as both people get angrier that of the other is not accommodating their approach,and it becomes a much bigger thing. "Let's fix this now so I can do work" vs "Let's fix it later, so I can do my work".
VR and now meta - Conceptually it's nice, but not there yet - the tech is expensive, limited usefulness of apps - games do better, but still limited - and then there is the user interface with the human mind (disorienting/vertigo/motion sickness/etc) ---- for me, it's best just to turn the lights out and work with a monitor.
What weight does trading hacked emails carry?

As far as I can tell, lawmakers simply have not criminalized this.

Many things that obviously should be illegal are not illegal.
I have a question about brute-force password cracking or any method that involves rapidly testing a hundred or more possible passwords:

What prevents someone from securing the system by putting a limit on the number of login attempts before the application requires a cool down time before it will allow additional attempts?

I can't be the first person to have thought of this, so would someone please explain why is this not a viable security strategy?
Sign language is an actual independent language.

Most sign at the same pace as speech. Both of which are faster than typing.

Sign language has the same, or more, expressive properties as when we use inflection etc. in voice.
? Perform a really quick binomial test on pro-cryptocurrency comments and anti-cryptocurrency comments and you'll find that sentiment here is overwhelmingly anti. If you can't see that, then you just aren't looking. So what percentage of pro-cryptocurrency comments would make _you_ happy?
Actually, I didn't. Thanks for telling me. I don't remember it from the time I looked into it. Is Factor a going concern?
The same argument was trotted out when evaluating (in the early days of the web) a crime had committed if 'the internet' had been involved because the internet was global. But that didn't hold any water and I don't think in a world defined by 'endpoints' it is going to matter much here. Who verifies a transaction isn't relevant, who is the ultimate beneficiary and who is the sender are the relevant bits.

Maybe Asana or Monday would work for you.
You don't need to say that you're invested into the brand, for me to see it by the terminology you use.
So, for link number one... I guess we have to define if we are measuring work by hours or by tasks completed. It's possible that some of those men are cooking as many meals but that they spend less time doing it. Secondly, and more importantly, that article is about only a single area. I want to see overall breakdown of all the work/chores. The article hints at women working fewer paid hours. That's an area that should be more thoroughly investigated, as whoever is working fewer hours at a job is more likely to be doing more chores to contribute equally.

For the second article, it seems to be self-reported perceptions and not actual measurements. Again, it only deals with limited categories. Of course if we are looking at chores that are traditionally "women's work", some of that bias may carry over. Likewise, handyman work, appliance repair, mechanic work, paperwork, yard work, etc that are traditionally "men's work" are likely to still have more men than women saying they spend more time on that.

The third article is more what I was looking for. It's still perception based but it takes into account a wider array of tasks. It also shows how working status and income play a role. It also backs up my theory that the bias extends the other way on the traditional "men's work" portions.

So we aren't going to see that grey line hit 100% in every category, and for good reason. Specialization of labor leads to efficiency. So task assignment or self-assignemnt will go to the person who is more interested in or better at that task. I would have liked to see an overall category to see how close the overall chore and work breakdown would be to 50/50. That's really the meat of the issue - equally contributing, even if the underlying tasks are divied up. Otherwise, we can cherry pick tasks like mechanic work or dishes to fit whatever narrative we want.
The concern here is more on `sudo vi /.git/config` than `sudo vi ~/.git/config`. Someone adding a "root" git config that you don't expect/intend to exist.

If you think things are locked down strongly enough with sudo and never install anything that might add root files you don't expect you are most likely safe.

This release also adds an environment variable you can set that makes certain that git has a "ceiling" that it never crosses when checking for .git/config files. The idea being that you'd never want git to look above `/user/*/` for instance, as you'd never expect to have a "machine-wide" git config.
I've never heard of men complaining about their female partners being untidy with household things except in the case where they simply do nothing (and that's rare), is that common where you are.

My father did all the washing up in our house growing up, and mum did most of the cooking, but he never once annotated me for leaving dirty dishes whilst my mother regularly would complain.

Almost every married woman I know fits the stereotype of being more houseproud than their husbands (I'm in the UK).

You call it sexist, but it seems to reflect a genuine sex-based divide.
I use Shush on my Mac to have a push to talk button that's independent of the app. That way I can leave the app unmuted if I plan to talk at all, and can always use the same button.
What I mean is that it's wrong to compare Hikaru to other chess channels. I don't watch him to get better at chess and I wouldn't be surprised if most viewers have no actual interest in chess. If they are it definitely makes sense to check out the channels in this thread but for me, as a casual Hikaru viewer, they are something else.
Thanks for posting this. Would like to learn more detail on your work. I've been drawn to the topic by originally hearing about Goodhart's from developers, even though it interestingly originated with observations on UK's monetary policy.
