This is the aspect of Qatari law that stands out to you as unsettling?
Yes, I've also been thinking about this a lot, and reached similar conclusions.

One of the main issues I can't think my way around is privacy. I don't want my full and true trust network to be publicly available, although I might provide a more detailed map to my trusted peers. I might also "lie" about a given weight depending on who asks, for diplomatic purposes (perhaps you have a close friend who also happens to be rather gullible).

A working system is going to take a lot of effort on behalf of each user to correctly and accurately annotate their own trust graphs, on an ongoing basis - perhaps this just too impractical.

I performed a slightly unethical experiment many years ago, In which I created an entirely fake Facebook account (back when people actually used Facebook), and slowly sent out friend requests to personal acquaintances. All it takes is one or two to get started, and every subsequent person sees "n mutual friends" and is more likely to accept the random request. It snowballed from there, and eventually I had "infiltrated" a non-trivial portion of my own social network with an entirely fictional persona.

(Ethics note: I only sent friend requests to people I was already friends with on my real account - so I wasn't obtaining any new private information I wouldn't otherwise have had access to - and I didn't perform any interactions beyond sending friend requests)

Any kind of trust network is going to need to deal with this sort of infiltration - and I'm not sure how.

And another thing - trust is bought and sold all the time. Social media influencers sell a small fragment of their trust level every time they do a paid endorsement. If there's some kind of explicit trust network, people will pay others to obtain a higher trust level. Is there anything we can do about that?
... until you hit 55-60 and irreversible changes to your body's hormonal system mean diet and exercise alone cannot control your hypertension, or late onset diabetes.

I mean sure. Try. I had 10 years on Hypertension meds, 15 off, and I am back on despite significant weightless and increased physical activity. Idiopathic can happen.

Every country should have rights to control what enters their borders. Be it phones or people. Nothing unreasonable here considering the existing standards of border control around the world. Just next logical step to prevent terrorism and undesirable activities. Don't like it, don't go.
"listen to C2DM" is for push notifications iirc
100%.

I’m a contractor, and for many companies and recruiters it was a wink wink nudge nudge arrangement to keep a gravy train running. An element of that will return when the reform is scrapped.
Or that certain border agencies demand you to give electronic devices and password to them. Seems extremely late to get on board of this issue.
That’s fine. You will be allowed to pay for peak time energy. Everyone else will get a better insulated fridge and allow their washing machine to start when the price for the next hour is low.

There's only one problem with that comparison: web development and game development aren't exclusive to each other. Those days are long gone, thanks to WASM and WebGL. For a game developer, the modern web browser is just another platform to deploy to. One that has less friction in many ways. You don't have to ship an executable and lead the user to and through your installer, and then make them log in through your custom login flow where the password manager doesn't work - you just provide a link to a login form that redirects to a WASM build of your game. Your user already knows how to use the browser.
When I get obtrusive, unrequested maillist popups, I signup someone from my frequent spammer list. Makes me feel good :)
It's not hypocrisy because the poster has never been the president of the United States, the person who authorizes military operations. I'm also going to go out on a limb an assume they haven't committed a war crime as soldier, commander, or any person who would be directly involved.

Whataboutism: "the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue"

Hypocrisy: "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense."

You can't be a hypocrite for something another person, group, or country has done. Even if you are a member of that grouping*. Notice how the definition clearly states "one's own behavior".

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

* I'm sure there's an exception here if you represent that group or control that group, like the CEO of a company or a spokesman. However just being a citizen of a country doesn't apply.*
It spurs discussion.

It often ends up spurring discussion about titles. Plus, HN has no shortage of discussion and comments do a pretty adequate job of spurring discussion. The 'level playing' thing in the linked bit is the key part, though - you don't get a megacomment (which is what writing your own title essentially ends up being) just because you posted something.
If I am God, I will be bored because I am all knowing, all powerful, all present. Is like playing a RPG game with all the cheat codes.

So I created a world that I will not remember who I am, when I reborn, I randomly spawn in a family. This way, I can play the game, without getting bored, forever and ever.

Deep down knowing that if the game eventually ends, I am still omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent

Tell that to all the contractors that had HMRC tribunals pre reform.

It was not because the river were dry, but because the river where too warm.

> France’s nuclear safety authority (ASN) set temperature and river flow limits beyond which power stations must reduce their production, to ensure the water used to cool the plants will not harm wildlife when it is released back into the rivers.

It's just an conservative artificial limit set to ensure that Nuclear is indeed the most ecological source of power since it even has higher standard than anything else.

In case the power is really needed, this limit could be lifted. Oh, this is exactly what happened https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/frances-asn-nuclear-reg...
Yeah, short messages are one thing, but it was cloned to more "heavy" messengers like whatsapp, telegram or even xmpp. It's part of the "let's clone something from Apple" trend, I think. But regardless, I'd still want to see more lines of a conversation whithout having to scroll too much.
You’re gonna get downvoted but I don’t think you’re altogether wrong. If the World Cup gets hit by extremists, Qatar’s reputation will be hit harder than anything else.

Who now blames anyone but Germany and its incompetence for Black September’s actions in the 1972 Munich Olympics?
Since Electronic Arts righteously dumped FIFA like a ton of rotten bricks, why don't they organise a football world cup instead?
Less corruption money must mean more leftover for the players and staff involved.
Also instead of some nebulous process for the host country selection, get game owners to vote, they're already very securely identified.

Get your lawyers to review the contractual structure of leagues and clubs, it can't be that the whole international set of deals is failsafe, players can probably just walk.
I didn't realize subthreads weren't allowed to isolate subcontexts and discuss them. Are the other 50+ comments not enough to satisfy you?
Again, the claim on the website is "has the potential to power over 91,000 homes". "up to", "has the potential", etc. But let's do some quick back of the envelope maths.

91,000 homes would be about 91,000 * 3,000 kWh / year = 273 TWh / year. You need an average of 31 MW over a year to produce this, which roughly tracks 350 MW with ~10% capacity factor. So over a year this seems to be correct.

On a day to day basis however the project only includes 700 MWh of storage. That's about 24h of the electricity consumption of 91,000 homes. A single cloudy winter day and those batteries are empty. So if you look at shorter time periods than a full year there's a huge variation in how many households can actually be reliably powered by such an installation. It's likely somewhere between 1,000 (several days of cloudy winter) and 350,000 homes (sunny summer).

When you think a large group proposing something is collectively insane, it usually means you simply don't understand their argument.

Surely, you know that wind power has had a lot of trouble expanding in Sweden due to huge opposition from every community against building wind turbines on their land. Everyone likes the idea of wind power until they try to build a huge turbine on their backyard.

Sun power, in Sweden, in winter, is clearly not going to cut it... even in the southern areas that still get a little bit of sun in winter, you don't get nearly enough power.

Hydropower is great and Sweden produces lots of it, but again, highly unlikely it can build new damns with the current regulations.

The only options left seem to be coal and nuclear. I hope you don't propose to just use coal.

Nuclear power, while expensive to build, is reliable and plenty. No one proposing that it should be one of the options for countries like Sweden is insane.
> Don't like it, don't go.

I am not going, but I guess players do not have this choice?
I am not sure that "fuck off" meant remove our ability to communicate!
Nuclear power plants also have a low probability catastrophic failure mode. If it was a risk we’d engineer to mitigate it.
Even Tetris players don’t know what the future holds for competitive Tetris
I owned the 970 for 7+ years and I remember all about that bruahaha.

I also remember that the card was incredibly reliable and hasn't shown those promised performance dropoffs of "useless last 512MB" of VRAM and still performs well even for some 1440p workloads to this day.

It's been one of the best hardware purchases I've made over the years, which is why I'm also very sceptical of this screaming about the 12GB 4080 model. None of us who bought the GTX970 got "more inferior product" that what we thought - we got exactly what we've seen in benchmarks.

And I bet it would be the same with buyers of those 4080s - they'd get a cheaper, slightly slower model and it would perform just like the reviews and benchmarks promised. The whole drama is just about the... number on the box?
The great news is that just like you're not forced to buy an Android or iOS device, you're not forced to travel to Qatar.

"Vote with your feet" applies to jurisdictions just like it applies to technologies. Of course, like with technologies, making such a choice has the potential to limit you in other ways.

> We will soon be sending some time series metrics over NATS to use internally for scheduling.

For what purpose?

> Re. handling failure

There are several operations that should be near seamless and very well thought out/handled reasonably including for the pieces of Plane itself.

Push new code
Roll back code
Push Canary code
shutdown -r now
add machine
remove machine
cluster wide restart

And for persistent data:

replace master
add replica
backup/restore backup

It seems like just about any product is going to have to implement some version of those things so it seems like there should be very well thought out story for each of them under the various conditions that prevent standard architectures.

A single point of failure is an extremely convenient architecture, but it is also a brittle and pain causing architecture that will resist scaling and the clean-ness of operations is probably the best window to assess that.

As far as architecture itself goes, why choose to use DNS rather than header based information/cookies? Why let the client choose the backend rather than hiding that as an infrastructure side implementation detail?
My empathy for the many victims doesn't change the material facts of my experience. Some guy on an internet forum demanding contrition doesn't create justice.

Referring to furries as a "perfectly cromulent lifestyle" is such a probably unintentionally fraternal salute in terms of antinormativity/cultural openess. Good vibes.
Your basically describing the P-Zombie thought experiment posited by David Chalmers.

I always thought it was a bad argument. If you assume consciousness is not required for some of the advanced “bio-computation” that we do, then of course it’s going to be superfluous.

You know at the very least that you feel conscious. And it feels like you are actively participating, guiding your body and mind to do cool and nuanced things everyday. So you probably need to be conscious to do what you do, so the P-Zombie just isn’t possible.

There’s some real philosophy that Chalmers is doing around feasibility when it comes to the P-Zombie argument, though that goes past my head.
KYC ring a bell?
Typically they are used to remove security software (EDR like CrowdStrike or antivirus) that would stop you deploying your ransomware.

Normally security monitoring tools have mechanisms to stop even and admin uninstalling them without a software specific password, a vulnerable kernel driver would allow you to bypass that.
Revoking US citizenship for Americans working abroad would be a godsend to them, not a threat. Extremely inaccurate translation. It's more like the sanctions are threatening them with DOJ prosecution.
> So while the graphics card formerly known as RTX 4080 12GB might perform about the same as the RTX 3090, it's no better value.

So you'd get the same price, just newer chip, newer encoder and DLSS3 support and all that at lower MSRP than what 3090 cost when it was new and launched?

That sounds like same value to me... or even a slightly better deal.
It is. I could see point if the people from USA seriously cleaned their own house before attacking others. Anything else comes out just as malicious. Maybe they should start with privacy for everyone and getting rid of slavery...

This hypothetical situation implies something I wouldn’t fail to ask first. Are these humans persons or are they “empty”? I don’t see a difference between a {person,experience}-less human and a rat (in this setting, legal and parental implications aside), but maybe you do. Both are able to experience pain and negative emotions. One of them being of a [non-]familiar kind changes nothing to me.

Iow, put yourself into the shoes of that rat or that empty brain and tell:

- which one would you choose to be (if given no other option),

- why,

- and what you expect to sense differently.
Yes. It is a brutal existence. Social isolation can continue long past when you would expect it to end, after graduation from high school or college, because of the exploitive behaviors of employers and the self-exploitive nature of someone who only finds solace in work.

What is the solution? I will not spoil it for you, but it does not involve giving up.
I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but nuclear has been somewhat of a clown shown because it requires a small number of politically connected firms to function. This has engendered graft and incompetence in many different countries. Renewables suffer less from this because there are many more competitors and all are replaceable.
Yes, the overall economy does better, but the local people might get higher electric bills but little other benefits, as the profit goes to the power plants. Usually increased tax revenue is less than the increased cost for the consumer.
I wish I knew what in the conversation led to that exchange. Elon just turned on a dime as a person after that whole “pedo guy” thing and it’s so upsetting to see your hero literally become a face you’re sick of seeing.

> This time around the 4090 is an excellent card, the 4080 16GB is a lot slower and the 4080 12GB a lot slower than the 16GB.

And "by a lot slower" you mean "they're all faster than previous generation flagship 3090".

I don't understand how the national review writer could write this and not realize the documentary was unethical. Why is "carceral system" in scare quotes? By their own description the facility obviously meets the definition.

Yes, it's impossible to know for sure to what extent and how the men might have been threatened. That doesn't mean you throw up your hands and say "whatever, I now have no moral obligations".

> The accusation was rooted in the question of free consent: Even if the men signed release forms — which they did — they might have done so only because they were under the control of a “carceral system.” If that were true, though, it could be equally true that the men were forced to criticize the film and affirm the claims in CAGE’s letter. Either way, the idea that Smaker had coerced her subjects into cooperating and put them at risk became a doc-world trope that was impossible to disprove, because, by order of the Saudi state, the men were prohibited from communicating with anyone outside the country without permission.
It would also reduce the power output from solar installations worldwide. It’s like retroactively taxing those who invested in sustainable energy generation - and without permission, too.

I had the same idea. It might or might not have been under the influence of drugs but I have to say that it is interesting to explore. It's easy to explain to people who played video games.

There is no political party in the US that is against the rigorous collection of private information of people entering the country. Biometric data, social media account disclosure, excessive questioning by the TSA. You literally have no option to change any of this.
I didn’t realize that was a German thing - anyone who’s done much renting of bare metal servers is likely to have encountered the term, but that seems to be because some of the biggest global providers of those services are German, like Hetzner and 1&1/Ionos.
Do not worry, the WEF and UN will be diligently taking notes of this field test and by the time it's rolled out in your country this will be resolved.

I cannot wait to have a social credit score! It is a wonderful idea and I am only disappointed that our wise un-elected WEF and UN leaders are being so shy in rolling it out.
Qatar is our friend. Qatar is a democracy.
At some point few years ago it became practically impossible to do any business in China from the outside without what's app (no idea why as allegedly its banned there). This is around the some time samsung had their "My Knox" feature on their S8 or S9 phone. This feature was like an isolated container for apps, an android equivalent of VM. The purpose was to place your banking and other critical apps there and the normal android system wouldn't be able to access it.

However I found a much better use case is to keep your phone's os secure by putting all dodgy apps in "my knox". This way I could've had what's app and give it access to all my 1 contact I prepared for it etc.

These days I don't know if they still have "my knox" feature on the flagship models as, I decided to get a different phone.

However for going to an autocratic country I would just buy a burner phone (or not go there in the first place).

Why are you so focused on the NYC high-end high school segment? It is utterly unrelatable to 95% of all students and conservatively 85% of users here.

Can we go back to FEMA death camps? This is just tiresome at this point.
A more likely scenario which mirrors how discriminatory laws work elsewhere:

1. Get arrested for a minor offence like speeding.

2. Law enforcement checks your app and infers you are gay (maybe wedding photos of you and your spouse?)

3. It was going to be just a fine, but now you are facing prosecution for the much more serious offence of being gay.

4. Law enforcement officer can make the charges disappear for the right fee, or maybe just decides to go ahead with the much more serious prosecution.

5. Let’s hope you’re not gay and Muslim, because you’re then facing the death penalty too.
Yep.
It's an inversion so that you're the bad guy for taking a look at the ledger you both (implicitly or explicitly) agreed to use.

It's not the same thing. There are two apps, not one - one is for ticketing, the other is supposedly for "COVID".

Second: the UK government does not have a death penalty for being LGBTQ (or blasphemy.) It's been decades since any form of official corporeal punishment happened in the UK, whereas in Qatar it's probably been weeks, at best.
