We are not shutting it down. As I said in the blog, our priority is making sure that Heroku choice is a good business decision for critical apps of all sizes. This does have tradeoffs, but getting the rug pulled out is not one of them - the opposite.

Hey Everyone,

Founder of Loophole Labs here. The team and I are happy to answer any questions you might have about fRPC, Frisbee, or Loophole in general!
My wife and I are seriously considering our options in smaller towns in New England. Many of them predate the automobile and have the sorts of qualities that are being talked about in this thread.
yes, but that spend isn't well distributed, and things are more expensive in the US (I assume your nubers are not corrected for the price index of each country).
I think this is why ELon Musk is right about twitter underestimating its bot problem. I would wages that half of all twitter accounts are fake or bots and does not represent genuine user behavior.
Installing Dokku [0] is pretty easy on a VPS, and ergonomically it's felt a lot like (a cheaper) Heroku to me (although I only ever used the free apps). I just use the Heroku docs to create apps I can run on Dokku.

Now, you need to deploy Dokku so I get how the two are dissimilar, but I wonder what it would look like for a company to try to offer managed dokku instances (perhaps this is already a thing?).

Sorry, you don't have kids so you just don't get it. I didn't get it either before I had a kid. All of the reasons you listed, bad public transport, dangerous biking, safety, etc. have nothing to do with why I want to buy an SUV. There are just so many items involved with raising a child. Yes, you might be able to take public transit so your kid can see the doctor, as long as you time it to be at an off-peak time, but there are so many other cases where you need a large car. A very basic example: You have a young child in NYC and you want to spend the weekend with your parents who live in Westchester. Without a kid, getting on Metro North with a small duffel bag of clothes would be trivial. With a kid, you need to bring a crib, toys, stroller, diapers, multiple changes of clothes, and maybe even a high table with you. Good luck getting all of that on the train, especially with a screaming kid!

The failure in your reasoning is that you see parents on the train, so you think that's their only mode of transportation. Yes, you can take the kid on the train for certain errands. Other times, however, having a car is 100x more convenient. And that is true everywhere.
The problem is that the supply/demand argument is that the demand largely isn't from people, it's from investment firms. And investment firms don't give two hoots about neighborhoods, density, cars, or anything other than the property's value appreciating over time (which it will, since we can't (without spending gobs of money) create more land).

Also, my personal opinion: I never want to live in a dense, or even semi-dense population center again. Living in a single family detached home with a small yard is fantastic. I can use speakers.
Crypto influencers are preying on millennials who found salvation in crypto
This reminds me of an episode of that (now old) TV show Numbers (or, I suppose, NUMB3RS). A suspect was trying not to be found by hitting targets in seemingly random locations. The mathematician protagonist pointed out that whenever people think of "random" sequences -- like this guy's targets, or even just a shuffled playlist -- people don't expect duplicates, even though true randomness would have them. As a result, you can analyze the sequence under that artificial constraint and make predictions to the next element with more than random chance of being right.

This isn't exactly the same, but it's another example of "trying to hide information is, in itself, giving away information".

BTW, tangentially related: I remember reading that the original iPod shuffle function was truly uniformly shuffled, but people started thinking it wasn't and complaining because they'd notice when multiple songs by the same artist played in sequence. So Apple had to make the shuffling less random to avoid those strings so people would perceive it as being truly random.
Yeah but people said the same thing about 4 cylinder turbo cars vs beefy v6s, but they made em anyway, they are super fun and people who want to drive a fun car but don’t have tons of cash bought tons of them.

This isn’t the solution for the purists with cash to spend 10-20$/gallon of gas it’s the thing for the rest of us who love to drive but cant justify an ice.

I mean I think you are right in that it’ll never happen. It would be a lot of engineering for a super small segment of the market, but I can dream…

In a way it harkens back to 80s 8-bit home micros. BASIC on these boxes is incredibly slow, but you can still easily do realtime sprite-based games because all it is doing is manipulating some magic memory locations that are mapped to dedicated video-drawing hardware. Instead of the software needing to blit every frame, all it needs to do is say "Sprite 3 moved left by 3 pixels" every frame. Instead of doing collision detection in software, you just read a magic memory location that tells you which sprites have collided since you last looked.

If you're writing the kind of game that is possible to do in C64 Basic, you don't actually gain much by writing it in assembler instead. What you get from writing in assembler is an expansion of the universe of possible games.
I routinely travel internationally. I simply wasn't conflating what I do at the border with a requirement. I regularly crossed the northern and southern border without a passport in the 1990s.

Plenty of previous discussion when this was news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21447215
Not OP, but...

Apartments suck, a lot, in the US.

* Noise; aren't built to sufficient privacy levels.
* Smell; laundry, cooking, or whatever...
* not designed to scrub, filter, and direct exhaust.
* Patios == smoke or grill; even though those are banned by policy.
* Somehow cost more than renting elsewhere
* Rent seeking causes negative patterns
* Car parking hell

As much as the anti-car crowd wants to be anti-car, they still exist, and many of us still have at least one per adult. Even if my job and day to day stuff fit in that city, family and friends currently don't: the car isn't going away.

Yes these problems also exist when you rent in single family home (intended, often not fulfilled) suburbia, but they're less due to the lower density.
Just the numbers? Or the number + data?

I'm guessing this will introduce a (further) delay on the line and just mean you are confused as to why the white American can't understand you.

Latino is not restricted to South America. It also covers Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It also extends to people who can trace their origins/ancestry to those places, not just people "from" there. For example, Marco Rubio is from Miami, but his parents came to the United States from Cuba, so he would be considered Latino.

10% towards charity is a bit much. One should absolutely donate 10% of their income, but charities are inefficient vehicles for change. There are political causes that, should we get better people in office, will direct the massive resources of government to either stop doing bad things or start doing better things.

For those that were around for it, there was a big huge discussion here awhile back about Blue Tribe vs Grey Tribe mentality and this is just more Grey Tribe quibbling. Scale happens best not at the level of the firm / charity, but at the realm of the state. It's possible to participate meaningfully in politics just by making your voice heard, this is why the Blue Tribe is so powerful. Grey Tribe is fundamentally libertarian, and libertarians fundamentally just wanna be free to go their own way. But there's power in numbers.

My recommendation is 2.5% politics donations, 2.5% personal cause donations (I like the FSF), 5% towards local organizations doing community stuff. Adjust as you see fit.
I certainly agree that the US planned too much around cars and not enough around walking/transit/cycling.

I am however often skeptical of the comparisons to university life. While walkability absolutely does help foster connection, I don't think you can attribute all of the differences just to that. There are other major differences between life in university and life outside that also make a big difference in fostering connection:

- Only 5,000-50,000 people in universities, compared to millions in cities. You're more likely to live near friends and more likely to run into them.

- The vast majority of people in university are in the same narrow age group

- Most people in university have more free time than those who work full time

Hm, what issues did you come across on Windows? I have it running on both a Windows PC and a Fedora PC. I uninstalled python, then installed the full installation of Anaconda. Then I followed the "Requirements" section of the readme and I was good to go.

Edit: Just noticed they removed the instructions from the readme for some reason. The requirements section can be found in this diff: https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion/commit/487a0f...
>They have many options other then cloudflare..

I guess you haven't read the article because the whole article is about why it's not that easy as you portray it. I don't want to to recite everything but for instance "NTT refuses to peer with any company that peers with my subnet" He can't use anything that peers with NTT (a Tier 1 transit provider).
EA is bad because it in practice, as an actually existing movement, assumes capitalism as an immutable reality. The problem is that capitalism actually generates most of the problems they are worried about, so if they can’t address the root cause, they are perpetually spinning their wheels addressing symptoms.

You can see this axiomatic commitment to capitalism in their actual practice and advice they give people: starting non-profit orgs that are integrated with the capitalist economy, recommending getting high earning jobs at capitalist firms, donating huge amounts to capitalist politicians like Joe Biden (see Sam Bankman-Fried), not taking any anti-capitalist political action, etc.
> massive, unpayable federal debt, rising inflation, and a serious constriction of the middle class

I've been hearing people say all this since the 1970's. What's different now?

> If you factor in rising crime rates, well, what do people do when they're desperate for basic needs? Yep, crime.

Crime rates are not rising, they are low compared to the peak in the early 1990's. Whomever is telling you that is lying to you. Stop listening to them.

> So, in this one example, we've got the government's mismanagement of the economy leading to mental health problems, physical health problems, and relationship problems.

This is classic begging the question. By the second sentence you have concluded that the government spending is the source of all woes and use the rest of your post explaining again why you believe everything is the government's fault.

You are unable to consider other possible explanations.

Your reasoning begins and ends with the premise that the problem can only be government.
Princess Mononoke is my favorite film of all time. Whisper of the Heart is a close second.
We pay Heroku thousands of dollars a month for our Staging and Production environments, and one of the reasons we chose them is that we can spin up a toy widget or proof of concept in seconds for free: we probably do a few of those a day, play around with them for a few days or weeks, and then kill them.

Now that these toys aren't free, I would guess likely to move them to AWS or GCP (since they're likely to be cheaper), and at that point we might as well migrate the rest of our stuff as well. It's not just goodwill that Heroku generated from this, it's actual revenue.
I wouldn't even call it "anti-cheat". It's a (online) single-player game with co-op challenges. There's no PvP, leaderboards, joint loot, nothing. "Cheating" would just involve unlocking characters or faking damage.

It's more akin to SecuROM and co. than BattlEye, in a way. (You can't OpenProcess(...) the game EXE) But either way it's completely useless and unnecessary.
How do you figure? The simplest way to do effective altruism is to donate to whatever GiveWell recommends and call it a day, and I would expect that to be significantly more effective than donating to the Red Cross.

Maybe some people in EA forums are tying themselves in knots, but you don’t have to hang out there, and I’m skeptical that people who post a lot are typical.
Science is only objective. But scientists are subjective and biased. The paper is not speaking about how people feel, they are speaking on the subjectiveness of scientists leading to the harm of minority people.

What do you think happened in Nazi Germany?
I'm going to repeat a perception I saw on here that seems to ring true.

We all know Tesla/Elon is 69% full of shit.
Great article. That final F sentiment is EXACTLY what the open source world needs. There's too many free loaders and mega-corp vampires taking advantage of peoples' free time. Some of this is beginning to feel slave-like. Billions in profits and vast fortunes are all on the backs of unpaid maintainers (slaves) toiling nights and weekends (cheap labor). And I'm just as much of the problem...Not giving back (financially or in other ways) makes you a douchebag and most of us are in that boat.
For small enough DBs, they could even literally just email you the data zipped up as an attachment. I'd guess most hobby projects are a few MB if that.

That said, I don't really get the feeling that Heroku is willing to put an ounce of extra effort into this, unfortunately.
Is this the same procedure as donating plasma at the local blood bank outside Red Robin? Or is it a different procedure?

How much benefit would you get from whole blood donation?
No, not yet. I haven't felt qualified to write about any of these individual things but I'm starting to realize not many people have the breadth of knowledge I have at this point and perhaps I should start writing for others (I have a large collection of my own notes).
The US is incredibly big and diverse. The world is bigger and diverser.
I've read about the Irish and French governments recently claiming that 5-10 years of economic "difficulties" can be expected and that the era of prosperity is likely over. I guess we'll know more come this and next winter.

But there's also Ukraine's economy: they are currently wholly dependent on the IMF and Western backers in order to keep the lights on. In the war they are completely dependent on Western weapons deliveries. Ukraine has essentially ceased to exist as an independent country except on paper.
Not in the US, but I grew up in large city in a developing nation. Someone fooling with your car wasn't common, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise either. I regularly took public transit: it was cheap, plentiful, and well used. Obviously you wouldn't do anything silly like stuff a giant money-almost-falling-out wallet in your back pocket, but otherwise I felt perfectly safe.
So what exactly does the new API hide that the old User-Agent would expose? A cursory look suggests there’s even more to generate fingerprint from, not less.
How does your state store stay consistent, and scale to a large load of readers and writers?

Yes if you have the trivial case of a single node state store then there is no problem. You scale it by chucking more CPU and resources at it until it can't go any faster.

But in the real world that will only take you so far. How does your state store scale out to multiple machines? How does it handle potentially thousands or in extreme cases hundreds of thousands of writers a second? How do you keep multiple nodes in the state store consistent?

There's your distributed consensus problem.
No hate toward heroku whatsoever, but have a feeling this decision will get reversed in 5 days
I'd have no problem with having you as my neighbor. Living in a German brick apartment building, when my neighbor has his subwoofer on maximum, I can still barely hear it over the sound of my own breath.

I can watch movies at cinema reference volume at home at 3am and my neighbors don't notice it either.

Your problem isn't with apartment buildings, it's with shoddy american construction standards.
> It's graciously receiving a little help each month with living within our values.

No. This country was founded on a puritanical work ethic. Working hard and taking pride in it for its own sake is very cultural to the U.S. and is a core value going back to the founding colonies. Many people point out this exact difference in work cultures between the US and Europe.

Don't co-opt the word "our" and just smash your own values on top.
> I urge you to reconsider the phrasing of “bovine acceptance”. Cows are intelligent beings. They have long memories, they have friends, they have feelings. They have personalities. They are capable of learning.

I read the term "bovine acceptance" without considering it to denigrate cows, their personalities, feelings etc, but rather with the focus on "acceptance", their perceived resignation to fate or order/hierarchy.

My thinking was informed by a bit of Chocky [1], by John Wyndham, in which the key character, a boy called Matthew Gore - who has been communicating telepathically with an alien lifeform (Chocky) and trying to answer questions put to him about Earth - asks his father, "Why does a cow stop?"

What the boy means is that he sees cows mass at the field gate at the right time of day, awaiting the farmer who opens the gate, whereupon the cows turn the right way into the lane, enter the farmyard properly, enter the milking stalls without instruction etc - and then the whole process in reverse. But never do they undertake the oft-watched and easy action of raising the simple gate lever to open it for themselves. The father, narrator in the book, offers the idea of "limited intelligence" by way of explanation - but "bovine acceptance" of the world's order might actually be a more useful way to look at it. And, again - unlike the concept of "limited intelligence" - it's no slur on the cows' faculties or feelings.

That’s a pretty uncharitable interpretation of my post. You shared an example of a single mitigation that you personally find ludicrous (without explaining why). And then I’m supposed to throw up my hands and go “I guess it’s pointless to try and be less racist”?

Bias amplification is a real issue. https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-ch...

Tay might still be around if Microsoft gave a thought to potential issues before release. I’d prefer not to have this awesome technology tainted out of the gate as a tool for racists and pornographers. They’ll get their hands on it eventually but it’d be nice if they don’t get all the up-front press.
Of course they don't. Look at all the objections to removing a forum explicitly created to encourage stalking and harassment of marginalized people, which has lead to multiple suicides by its targets.

Sometimes you have to move forward without 100% agreement and stop listening to trolls making slippery-slope arguments.
>If you were to go to someone and ask "What city has the highest rate of car theft in 2022" they would probably say NYC or LA when in reality, it's Odessa TX (btw Republican mayor). This shows how this manipulation tactic works, it's based on exaggeration, stereotypes, and constantly streaming information

According to this site[0], 3 of the 5 cities with the highest rates of auto theft were in California in 2020.

Meanwhile, you constructed a strawman from a hypothetical question that some person would "probably" answer, and then complained about manipulation tactics. Do you see the issue here?

In our case, this would mean increasing our Heroku bill by 400% (we run a few paid apps and >40 free dynos with super low monthly activity)

Does anyone have a recommendation how to re-create the Heroku experience on AWS or Azure?
Exactly, the process of applying scientific results to human society falls well within the realm of politics. We should not allow scientific bureaucrats to have a say in the kinds of policies implemented, but rather limit their contribution to answering empirical questions based on inquiries presented by actual politicians.

I don't think even the most Pollyanna-ish perspective claims that there's a global meritocracy. The smashing success of merit-based immigrants in high-income countries is a pretty undeniable signal that we're nowhere near the point where the marginal legal immigrant is less "meritorious" than the pop avg.

I'm personally willing to bite the whole bullet and am an open-borders advocate. But it's a mistake to think that supporters of border restrictions aren't aware that they're explicitly anti-meritocratic.
It’s rare for a large fraction of grant money to be siphoned to a Dean’s discretionary fund. Typically some smallish fraction (maybe 10%, often significantly less) of indirect costs (which, depending on the funder and the negotiated F&A rate may be anywhere from 0% or nearly 100% on top of the direct costs that fund the research staff and materials, etc.) goes back to the subdivision overseen by that Dean to do with as they please. Everywhere I’ve worked, that amounts to a few (low single digit) percent of total costs being used in the way you describe. And many places return none of indirects to the unit overseeing the PI and so then it’s a cool zero percent.
I was going to point out the same thing. It is shown in the header image of the 1D section but doesn't have it's own description.
