That’s what I would have thought… Not to mention that with the in-person data we have from our drivers that other online merchants don’t, they would be able to sus out entire networks.
I think it is unfair you quoted the second half without acknowledging I explicitly said:

> Depends on the contract.

And you immediately jump to conclusions:

> they almost certainly signed a contract that they wouldn't share the codebase

We don't know what they signed.
I don’t view your comment as particularly useful:

“Everyone who disagrees with me are just bigots!” isn’t the standard we should encourage — and that’s all you’ve said.

> Please don't underestimate their ability to shitpost and spam negative reviews - they are high-skilled and have many years of training in this kind of battle.

This part in particular sounds like projection.

Edit: replying here due to posting cap.

Yes — in a thread about general negative reviews you:

a) associated the general negativity with people you view an extremists, and

b) presented a claim that whole communities were just “triggered bigots” without showing any of their actual comments or reasoning.

That kind of strawmanning leads me to believe you’re calling them bigots as a slur, rather than based on substance.

I think you’re projecting your own intolerance and stereotyping of those people onto them, to reach the conclusion “they’re just bigots”.
Well I completely agree but I'm surprised you went out and said it since usually people only praise Tolkien and never judge it objectively.
Robotics needs HUGE advances in compute

This is surprising to me. Robotics clearly needs huge advances in algorithms (RL or something better). Do you mean you need faster hardware to discover those algorithms?

As someone who exceeds this apparent low bar, I only do it because I’m highly motivated to care for my pup. Before I had her, I had a lot of difficulty motivating myself to be more active than was basically necessary. Don’t get me wrong, 2.5 hours of physical activity per week feels low to me now, I even expect I’ll go stir crazy as my opportunities to enjoyably get that activity outdoors is waning with the season change. But 35 years of a mostly sedentary life was not an easy thing to course change, and even my most successful endeavors weren’t as resilient as idle defaults I had as a child. And I know plenty of people whose early life inertia was far less active than my own.

2.5 hours of exercise a week is about 1.5 miles walking at a pace that raises your heart rate every day. Doesn’t sound like much, if you’re doing it, but sounds like a lot if you’re not moving much. And it sounds like a lot more if you’re stressed about or cramped for time.

I’m trying to strike a balance here where I know the benefits and I also know the challenge of embracing them. For people who want to be more active and would benefit from external motivation, but don't feel ready for major permanent life commitment changes, I highly recommend offering to watch after someone else’s child or dog for a limited time… or even their house plants, if you can walk over to water them. Assuming you feel you can rise to the occasion. You’ll be active because you have to, you’ll likely find it very rewarding in its own right, and you’ll have built a temporary routine around the activity that’s less focused on motivating you and more comfortable because of that.

I found parts of it interesting, but I couldn't tell why the author [edited] was ascribing so many issues to be PAM's fault. Debugging dynamically loaded libraries, for example. Many things use dynamically loaded libraries, and it's not surprising PAM does so, given the need to be "pluggable".
Bro this is literally the entire plot of the original trilogy. Boromir, Faramir etc all want to use evil for good.

Nonsense.
You just create enemies who sharpen pointier sticks in the shadows. If you want to fix the behavior of individuals, it requires education and their exposure to "normals". All this does is generate "feel good" moments and "LALALALA I can't hear you". But o hey, it's no different than the numerous crises plaguing America, including homelessness, collapsing healthcare, poverty and more.

Just some Facebook likes and nothing actually gets solved.

Another thought, Hitler on his rise to power was also deplatformed, literally thrown into prison. Everyone laughed at him and his Nazi party. Next thing you know he is out of prison and is genociding an entire continent.

I truly fear we are in for bloodshed in the future because all we do is try and shut out the crazy Qanons, the MAGAs, the white supremacists and just complete fucking degenerates but nobody actually tries to fix the problem. We are just stuffing the problem in a closet and hoping it doesn't find its way out.
Rings of power is equal parts boring, predictable, and positively ho-hum in every respect. Feels like it got focus-grouped to death.

> The OS and updates and all that are managed for me.

I can see this being a nice feature! I feel like the updates have never been a big issue for me in the past though unless it breaks some sort of dependency. In a typical Linux server `sudo apt-get update` has never been a big pain point for me :)

> I can copy 2 or 3 files from another repo, do a find and replace on the App name and port number and deploy a new service with just one command. Again, its like magic.

I just looked it up because I was curious, and it looks like setting up an Apache server on Linux is pretty much this same process, as in copy a couple files and tweak a couple settings. Also, I think my biggest question is if you're only using this for home services why can't they all live on one server and deal with it in a traditional style? Why does each service need its own environment as opposed to one environment with multiple services?

I feel like Kubernetes is hoisting all the traditional problems of deployment and infrastructure up to another level. Which is basically the definition of accidental complexity, adding additional complexity where none was warranted.

Once again, I can see how this is very useful if you're Google and need to ensure that if a service goes down it can spin itself back up on an arbitrary machine, but 99% of homebrewed services probably don't need this capability.

Then again, maybe I just enjoy the infra side of things and hacking together a build system and this is just my bias speaking :)
Agreed, but basic respect shouldn't be dependent on whether or not someone has an important job.
It wasn’t gratuitous in the context of the show. They were attacked by said troll.

The troll attack advanced the plot by serving as a catalyst for Galadriel’s troops deserting.

Unless you’re saying that just having a fight scene with a troll was gratuitous? But the books have plenty of battle scenes with trolls as well.

> What major media production isn’t diverse?

...and every major media production has people complaining about that.
Sure.

Or consider the ABC test:

A. The worker is free from the employer's control or direction in performing the work.

B. The work takes place outside the usual course of the business of the company and off the site of the business.

C. Customarily, the worker is engaged in an independent trade, occupation, profession, or business.

In this case, again, depending on the contract signed, A would cover subcontracting unless it was explicitly prohibited by the contract. And maybe it was. But I have signed plenty of contracts with my personal name not my fictitious or LLC name that would not have been violated by having someone else perform the work.
> the temperature is dropping tomorrow

Maybe in parts of the state, but all over northern CA there are places forecasting a few degrees warmer. Plus the overnight will be high enough that buildings won’t lose as much retained heat, and will start out slightly warmer.
That was the result of the four games they played at the FTX Crypto Cup in Miami about 3 weeks ago.

Hans, playing back, crushed Magnus in their first game. Then afterwards when an interviewer tried to interview him about the game he just said "The chess speaks for itself" and walked away.

A lot of commentators interpreted that as a bit of trash talk about Magnus, who convincingly won the remaining 3 games.
I see nothing to substantiate that argument.

> combat footage is a popular sub that's basically just watching brown people get bombed

That's a reeeeach. I've been subbed there since 2013 and there were also many contemporary posts of white Americans (because that's disproportionately who serves and dies in combat) and European service members being shot and blown up by IEDs and so forth in GWOT (although the votes and comments were more controversial).

The war in Donbas also yielded plenty of footage of white casualties. And now the latest Ukrainian conflict.

The most controversial time on the sub was when ISIS was at their peak and people were straight posting their propaganda (executions and so forth). That was all disallowed unless it was only traditional combat footage, preferably with nasheeds stripped out. If the sub was about enjoying brown death that carnage would've been allowed.
I was specifically talking about previous vaccine mandates during flu pandemics, as a point of comparison.

Is your comparison that we should act like medieval Europe? — otherwise I don’t know why you’re discussing the plague. We live in a different society with different standards. Despite accusing me of “not thinking”, you’re making completely absurd comparisons.

And it’s precisely that kind of nonsense response accusing me of not understanding which I believe is gaslighting.

Thanks for taking a look! This is my first time hearing of Tox, so it’s hard to for me give a great answer at the moment. Based on a quick look at Tox, it seems that a key differentiator is that Chitchatter conversations are ephemeral.

What we have now is obviously not working. We have serious homeless problems involving children. That is plainly the mark of a state that is failing its citizens. There is more wealth around than we have use for (see: space yachts, meme coins, NFTs), so instead of leaving it to slosh around in stupid risky ventures, move it into pro-social infrastructure and health/education support services. There is more than enough wealth abundance to uplift the most disadvantaged while still allowing the wealthiest to live out their fantasies.

Just a guess from outside, but Microsoft is likely to be sustainable even if you use GitHub Pages to serve your static site on a free account.
Sometimes I am amazed that after millenia of tea drinking, we're still unpacking its physiological effects. I guess its front-loaded to the latter half of the last century, in the sense that the analytical and related statistical tools simply didn't exist until modern times. Fermented vs non-fermented introduces another level of complexity in the story. There were informal lines of reasoning which said without tea, the british empire would have crumbled. It is unclear if they mean without the drive to harvest it, or drink it in the trenches under gunfire.

Coffee is just the same really. Long long history of consumption. Weak levels of understanding what if any protective health qualities it has. Is it mental? is it bowel cancer? is it prostate cancer? we're still finding out.

A problem for me is that cola nut, which is just as interesting, would be very hard to unpack from high fructose corn syrup, sugar, artificial sweeteners. It is so very rare to imbibe cola without them. If you walk down the tea hierarchy to the fruit and non-caffiene teas, the cohort drops off rapidly (I drink red zinger, its hibiscus. it also has liquorice root extract which isn't meant to be good for my BP but they say Hibiscus flower is, so maybe that balances out)

Increased rates of Osophageal cancer were held to come from drinking hot liquids. I think we have a different sense of this now. GERD is not about hot water apparently.

My urologist asks me to drink 1.5l of water a day, or pay for his new yacht. Such is the lot of people who excrete oxalate into their kidneys. Another reason to avoid liquorice, spinach, strawberries, rhubarb.. But thank goodness, NOT tea.

I used to help friends manage destructive hog populations on TX farmland. It was really crazy. I remember a few years back people on twitter were ragging on some guy for saying he needed an AR to kill "30-50 feral hogs", acting as if that was some sort of insane fictional scenario, when in reality he was being perfectly veracious.

I haven't helped with hog control in 5+ years, but I'm interested to see how it's changed with the proliferation of NVDs and thermal optics. It would have made our jobs a lot easier, but the equipment was much more expensive back then - no one I knew at the time had better than gen2 technology.
I'm mostly impressed by the guy from Dune 2, he looks like a real person!

> Also, yes, there are some dark skinned people in this new work.

I’ve never understood why people get so worked up about stuff like this.

Nothing changes within the narrative itself. In-show characters don’t acknowledge the character’s newfound darker skin tone. The character stays true to the original vision - except that their skin is darker.

I would be outraged if Dev Patel played an English knight and then was shown eating Indian food or wearing Indian clothes. That’s breaking the consistency of the narrative and the authenticity of its world.

But Dev Patel simply plays an Englishman - with English habits and speech. Nothing within the world is changed to match the actor’s skin color or heritage. Rather, the actor’s skin color blends into the narrative’s world.

I see what you're saying and I'm half way there with you.

The important things are:

a) don't ignore (just in the same way you won't ignore any other person, it's not a status thing, just a human thing)

b) don't patronize - the comments in this thread and the general "be nice to poor people" has a feel good condescension written all over it, which you're rightly calling out. But it is possible (and baseline important) to be respectful to anyone and not be condescending.
Yes — accusing me of not using words right without addressing the substance is classic gaslighting, and responding with more gaslighting when called out about poor behavior is typical in gaslighters.
Bingo.

This whole thread got super litigious around my comment that there is a defendable reality where people subcontract what you contracted them to do. It all depends on the contract wording.

Good counter example to me defending be able to subcontract would be performance agreements (e.g. I pay Foo Fighters $1m for a concert they can't send Weird Al in their place).
> Velocity is not intended as an engineering management metric, it's intended for use internally by the team as a guide for sprint planning

It's nice in theory. Usually once these metrics exist, PMs and other managers get a hold of them, and they always seem to turn into hard deadlines or interpreted as predictions with high certainty.

30kWh / 3 hours is 10kWh per hour, or 10 kW.

10kW at 240V is 41 amps. Our connection to the grid is hundreds of amps.

There are two reasons I can't do it: This is a Tesla pilot, and it is not a Tesla system.

More fundamentally, this is a weird emergency response program. They should just set the rate structure so that people always have a financial incentive to minimize CO2 and also stabilize the grid.

The rate structure does neither of those things, so we end up with lots of idling home batteries during peak demand events like the current one. On normal days, the batteries idle while peaker plants uselessly spew CO2.
Unix sockets should definitely not be in any non-tmpfs filesystem, subdirectories of /run are the sole place they should be.

Hardly a problem for a personal blog.

I host a few things on my baremetal server at home. When I get kernel updates (2-3 times a month) the Docker container with the Pi-Hole is rebooted and for 30 secs DNS resolution doesn't work in our home network. I probably can fix that by changing the script to do blue-green deployment (only stop the container after a new one has been brought up) but it honestly isn't such a problem.

If it bothers me I will likely spend no more than one hour to fix it.
I explicitly pointed out the differences in the comment you’re replying to — related to the differences in consequences.
I often work till the very late evening, which gives me a chance to meet most of the custodial staff. Some of them have very good, eye-opening stories, showing me how lucky I am in life (and I am making waaaay below what I perceive HN folks to earn). It is also a good opportunity to practice foreign languages and to try some foods I haven't eaten before. (I sometimes bring some homemade food for folks who take care of the office and they sometimes reciprocate, even though I do my best to make it clear that they don't have to.)

I would highly recommend trying to get to know the "janitors!"

I hear where you're coming from, but there's definitely some sort of weird carve-out in human psychology that allows people to simultaneously be compassionate towards animals while also being OK with killing them. Most hunters I know (who don't do it out of necessity or anything) are very morally upright people, and many of them are good friends to animals (conservationists, rehabbers, etc.).
