Surely the problem is the believability of twitter claiming they have about 50% the number of active users as instagram (250million vs 500million).

When a cursory glance of twitter accounts shows its only a small number of American celebrities and a few global politicians that still use twitter instead of telegram.

The onus is on twitter to prove that 250million number, and Musks lawyers are saying they fell well short of doing so.

A bloomberg hit piece on Musk claiming Musk didnt show it isnt true wont save twitter, and they've been in terminal decline even before they banned Trump.
It does. This is one of the best features.

There is a chance.

To get a better answer, you have to specify what exactly you mean by 'sampled' and by 'without context local to the code in question'.
Allow users to blacklist sites.
Share blacklisted sites.
Have the option of instead of hiding blacklisted sites entirely - show them in a different column.

Whitelist - highest scoring

Not listed - these websites are not ranked.

Yellowlist - show but keep in a separate column

Blacklist - don't show

I am surprised. How can mud withstand rain?
Uh, okay. Optimization math fu for encoding only.

There are quite a few possible ECC constructions to select for a given application considering the error modes, computational/energy/time budgets, and channel type and rate.

You can, for example, use a turbo code if you have an enormous stream channel ( compared to the actual average symbol size and rate) with lots of noise.

Another possible use-case is having copious amounts of flash storage but much less data with the intent of leveled write counts well beyond wearing of N% of cells. It's an exercise for the reader to choose an appropriate algorithm for the intended application.

From my understanding, you can't delete a bucket that has objects and I assume you can't empty a bucket that has locked objects, but what happens if you close the entire account?

AWS recommends to use accounts for segmentation, and has APIs to manage accounts (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/security-..., https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/organizatio...).

There is a 90 day recovery period, but I can think edge cases where this isn't enough. There is some data that companies need exactly once a year for financial reporting/audits etc. but losing it is seriously expensive. Imagine the person managing that data being disgruntled and closing the account holding the data (and just that data, so the deletion isn't noticed) 6 months before the next audit.

Can you close an account with locked data in it? If yes, is the data actually deleted, or could the org recover it?

Another interesting scenario that could test how reliable the lock is would be a griefer (i.e. an actor that wants to cause damage without profiting from it) who gets access to an organization's account, uploads a large amount of data, and locks it. Will Amazon simply keep the data and waive the cost, or will support unlock the data, or will the organization be forced to pay up? The latter two both have interesting implications (compromised support agents and social engineering in the first case, extortion in the second case - think "we have taken over your AWS account and created several paths of access, send XX bitcoin or we'll lock this exabyte of data and you'll pay $XXXXXXXX in AWS fees, if you start taking away our access or deleting the data we'll see before you finish and use one of the remaining accounts to lock the data").
It's fascinating. Some more critical observers are very disappointed with performance like this. I've seen comments about how dumb it seems. I don't think it does, I think you are bang on. It seems somewhat like a conversation with a child.
I’ve built AM crystal sets before back in the 80s. Fine if you have the space and materials for a high up long wire antenna or something. But absolutely hell if you have any local noise sources.

I actually had a large inverted V trapped dipole on my property which could be persuaded to tune up on AM broadcast with some effort and pick up all sorts. But ugh you need a decent noise blanker or nulling device unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

Add a couple of transistors and some discrete components and you can build a fairly decent FM receiver instead of a crystal set which performs adequately with a couple of metres or so of wire taped to a bamboo garden cane.

> Anyone at a C-level who has to shout at staff is a red flag for me.

The current generation of very large market cap companies had CEOs like this.

It's harder to find a current unicorn or now established +$10B company that didn't have a C-level like this than ones that did (there are some good eggs at that level, but there's a hell of a lot of bad ones too).
Yes, a software agency makes less money if the people they employ are actually good at the job.
Kubernetes is only a multi-node cluster kernel
Kubernetes is 'only' a multi-node cluster kernel. Some call it the Linux of the cloud.

And because K8s is only a kernel, there are now over 2000+ (open source) projects, all adding some extra functionality to it. Be it for observability, security, or networking. But all of these projects don't really collaborate and end-users don't ask for maturity of individual projects, they want sets/stacks of projects that integrate well.

Now every company has created some Stack with applications and configurations for Kubernetes, all trying to reinvent the wheel and spending an often shocking $ in doing so.

So here is my take:

- Let's create a new category in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) landscape and call it Integrated Stacks for K8s

- To be accepted, a stack needs to provide an open integration framework for other projects to add/integrate their apps

- Just like aLinux distro, each stack is ideal for some specific use case(s)

- A stack can be installed in one run, contains integrated apps that work out-of-the-box, has a (web) UI that acts as a desktop environment to provide easy and secure access to all features. Call it a new user experience for Kubernetes

Wouldn't it be great to have a list of all Kubernetes stacks available that everyone can use (and contribute to)? Just like (in the Linux analogy) you can choose between Linux Mint, Fedora, or Ubuntu.

We already created the first: https://github.com/redkubes/otomi-core

Isn't that more a question of adding to the mix frequent scraping of

- a few thousand news-sites (like nyt.com, bbc.co.uk),

- a few thousand very popular blogs (based on what influencers people search for),

- a handful of social media sites (e.g. Twitter),

- a few hundred databases in areas like weather, airlines, sports (like ATP for people who look for Wimbledon results today)?

Ref #2, I wonder if scientists feel similarly to Neil deGrasse Tyson today.

He doesn’t seem likely to be wildly better as a scientist than his peers, but being wildly better as a communicator has incredible differentiating value (and likely has a tailwind for the other scientists in terms of public support for science when it’s something they feel is almost within their grasp).
Sometimes there is a legit motive to change.

If your competitor starts diluting your brand mimicking your package with a cheaper replacement with the same colors, you need to offer some different to keep the brand alive. Had seen that before in milk packages (with a successful defense changing the lid shape)

While I agree knowing what "matters" is hard and hindsight is 20/20 we all know a lot of things do not matter in the long run. Before latching on the headline here is the tldr:

- don't do stuff that clearly does not matter. This is elaborated to a reasonable degree.

- work where you can grow and add value. Obviously here it gets fuzzy but then by nature of this aspect there can't be a hard and fast recipe.
I think that modern cars have electronics that keep you from starting the car without the clutch pressed. Cars I owned in the 80s and 90s would engage the starter when you turned the keys. Cars since then won't engage the starter unless the clutch is in.

Dufs: A file server that supports static serving, uploading, searching
The nice thing about constants is that you can't make typos. A string like "peperoni" isn't caught, but toppings.PEPERONI will fail immediately.

I use Python. It's easy enough to, for example, make an `enum` from entries in a config file or even a database:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html

Scroll down to the functional API. There are many similar design patterns. The nice thing about these is that you get automatic type checking. If your config file is:

toppings: ['pepperoni', 'ham', 'pineapple'],
pizzas: {
'Hawaiian': ['pinapple']
}

If you load this in as strings, it will load and later silently fail. If you add validation code, you'll only validate what you remember. If you make an enum or similar custom type, it necessarily will fail-on-load, and probably with a reasonable error.

The major downside -- which is really incidental (due to poor library design) -- is that most JSON/YAML libraries won't reasonably serialize/deserialize non-Python types. So there's a bit of (unnecessary) overhead there.
The PHEV Chrysler Pacifica & PHEV Mitsubishi Outlander came out 5 years ago, and the PHEV Volvo XC90 has been out 7 years. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for Toyota to sell a PHEV 3-row anything (Sienna, Highlander, whatever) in the US.
I'm sorry but the modding community has worked from a passion for many, many years supported by platforms like Patreon. It's going to devolve into paid DLC if publishers start monetizing mods. A microtransaction modding community is not what I would want nor would its historically been.

Tilted Online came along just fine with financial support from the community. That financial support was not mandatory.

I have always wanted to learn medicine slowly - over years.
So I read medical text books slowly over years.

I find it amazing that we give so much agency to doctors over our health while we know relatively very little about our own bodies and health.

And biology is a big part of that learning.

I now study medical books on my soare time.

Would recommend “Clinical Methods” as your first foray. You will understand your doctor and the biology is immediately applicable in your
Daily life.
Ie how to deal with fevers in your kids.

After that learn about your skeletal system and biomechanics.

Next Neuro degenerative disease and the brain.

Once you’ve caught the learning bug, you can go into 1st year Med
School curricula and then the rest from there.

Some big parts of medicine is relatively useless - psychology for example.

Would recommend learning meditation ina real way and reading “Right Concentration.”. Learning about jhanas and mental states.

I remember as a kid when they asked me what I wanted to do, I never understood why I couldn’t do all of the above.

People's reaction to rust is always interesting to watch.

If they say something like "I can code just fine, I don't need rust holding my hand", I start wondering if they just don't get or don't like the whole concept of modern programming.

If someone hates rust like that, they probably think of programming as a personal challenge or achievement, where success happens through skill.

If someone loves rust, I would think they're more likely to value repeatable, scalable processes, where success comes from following a process that has robustness built in.

And of course, if they hate the idea of programming skill being made into a repeatable process... maybe they also hate software in general, since they probably prefer low tech, hands on stuff without a computer in between them and the results.

I imagine any competent coder can do rust just fine, but their enthusiasm and level of effort will be revealing. All else being equal I feel like I wouldn't enjoy working with someone who hates rust.

But I am very much not a manager, and could be all wrong in my armchair psychology. I know there are other less philosophical criticisms of rust like the small standard library and ensuing crate reliance, so some might not be on the rust train for much more pragmatic reasons that don't say as much about them as a programmer.

I agree mostly, although as a counter-example, about a year ago Nutella released a new "extra cocoa" variant which was much tastier, and a bit less unhealthy (lower sugar content).

It was so good that I refuse to buy regular Nutella anymore, even though the "extra cocoa" edition seems to be no longer sold.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_coverage_of_the_2016_Uni...

>> 'A 2018 study found that media coverage of Trump led to increased public support for him during the primaries. The study showed that Trump received nearly $2 billion in free media, more than double any other candidate. Political scientist John M. Sides argued that Trump's polling surge was "almost certainly" due to frequent media coverage of his campaign. Sides concluded "Trump is surging in the polls because the news media has consistently focused on him since he announced his candidacy on June 16".[21] Prior to clinching the Republican nomination, Trump received little support from establishment Republicans.[22]'

His own party wouldn't even give him the time of day until he was made inevitable by a fawning press gorging itself on easy ad dollars.
Mods are often open source, but:

You're creating, but your creation is totally dependent on the copyrighted work of someone else, and usually can't even be seen without it. "derivative works" bite that way.

The audience has already paid for the base game and there's not likely to be ways they can donate to you even if they wanted to. This is being worked on but still not quite there yet. Lots of the games customers feel they've paid enough already; which adds tot he usual "entitled user" problems.

People making mods tend to be non programmers passionate about an idea they had and wanting to make it happen even if they have to learn new things and extend themselves beyond their comfort zone. The social aspects of software development that encourage FOSS structures haven't occurred to them yet. Many will feel they're not "real" developers, this isn't "real" software, and thus those concerns don't apply to them or their work.

Since having a "mod community" is popular, many game publishers want to have one. They often have no idea how to foster a community and allow their inner demons to come out in their efforts to do so. If a mod scene has politics before the game is released, bail.
Vulkan 1.3 Explained
Reminds me of the American Acclimatization Society. Back in the 1800s some people thought it was nice to bring European flora and fauna over to America. One of the results is a population of hundreds of millions of starlings. For its role in the decline of local native species and the damages to agriculture, the European starling has been included in the IUCN List of the world's 100 worst invasive species.

Canadian mobile is so expensive that it actually isn't a huge markup if you only use mobile data lightly.

I am curtusing a Bell "tablet" pay as you go plan and IIRC if I use under a GiB a month an internal roaming SIM would be cheaper. Plus it was measured by MiB instead of huge jumps like 1/2GiB, 1GiB, 2GiB, 5GiB, 10GiB. For these days where I am still almost always at home with WiFi I would have saved a decent bit of money.

The main reason I didn't take this option is because almost all of the providers tunnel their traffic yo some other country where their headquarters are. So the performance isn't necessary great. And even if they don't you usually get a foreign IP which results in blocks and wrong languages for many sites.

Biology classes kinda get easier in the later years (at least they did for me), because although they start of with a lot of "don't worry about why this happens, just know that it happens", we got to the "this is why it happens", and it all starts to fall into place. There are some fundamental principles, so far as we actually know them, in biology, however it does seem to be taught in a broad-to-narrow direction that imo does a disservice to those wanting to really understand the mechanisms.

The US military does, or at least used to, use the alcohol/acid drops prophylactically - whenever you'd get out of the water you'd put some drops in.

It's interesting that the studies show that solution as ineffective. It cured my wife. Then someone at work had an outer ear infection that recurred after two treatments with antibiotic drops. This solution also solved their problem.

As a side note, my wife was on steroids when she contracted the infection. So I think that contributed to her catching it.

This is an interesting aspect of information warfare. Several companies have emerged that know how to capitalize on their ability to seed social media groups and create viral trends.

Location based serving makes it easy to disseminate these campaigns to exact locations. This is an incredibly potent weapon and seems it's been flying under the radar for quite some time now.
It depends on what you mean by popular. There are many startups and a lot of VC money poured in the crypto space. It's unpopular on HN, mainly due to the large amount of scammers and projects of questionable value it attracts, so maybe not the best place to ask.
