I think one of the things you're saying is that "whatever legislation ends up passed was the best legislation that anybody was capable of passing in the current political environment", which is sort of a truism. Could these exact politicians, in this portion of their election cycles, and with this opposition, etc, etc, have passed something better? Almost by definition no, because those are all the parameters of the system. A different result would imply a different upstream.

You're also misrepresenting "B. Nothing happens. Everyone's debt stays the same." That's not an accurate description. Every expensive program that gets rejected alleviates a little pressure on all the other programs that might be put in place, and the ones that get accepted put pressure on everything else to get rejected. It's not easy to say what those 400 billion would have been spent on if it weren't this, so answering the question of whether I'd pick A or B isn't easy. I personally don't think that a modified version getting passed instead that gives out less money but to a broader set of people (broader in some ways, narrower in others; the income threshold should definitely be lower) is all that unlikely. Frankly I think the version we got is surprising. So I suppose that I would pick B, fully expecting the federal government to spend 400 billion on something else that I probably won't be 100% happy with either, but which I think is more likely than not to be an improvement over what we got.
Hey @kdunglas :) Nice project :) I just wanted to add a few notes:

> Roadrunner executes php-cli and connects it to its web server through GRPC;

RR communicates with the PHP process via pipes (stdin/out/err) via our protocol (similar to the IP protocol, we also have a tcp/unix-socket options and shared memory is coming soon). The RR server itself then has various options to connect to the world:

- gRPC (w/o the need to install the `gRPC-php` extension), HTTP (with a lot of different middleware), HTTPS, fCGI.
- Queues: kafka, rabbitmq, sqs, beanstalk, nats (with like priorities and so on)
- KV/noSQL: memcached, redis, boltdb, memory.
- Workflows: Temporal.

I might forget smt, but the main idea is to have a very extensible server. With very little knowledge about Go, you may extend it with your plugins and build your RR binary. Or even embed the RR server into your Go application (https://github.com/roadrunner-server/roadrunner/tree/master/...).

Hi there, I’m the manager of Cloud Functions for Firebase. I wanted to note that Firebase is getting better for large deployments and we’re continuing to invest in the area.

First, the article might have been written before our recent feature to skip deployments of unmodified functions. If the source, env, and secret metadata SHA has not changed, we skip deploying that function. At minimum, this means large deployments that fail can be retried and make progress (more on that below).

Second, we’ve started investing in a feature called “codebases.” At its simplest, codebases are multiple folders of functions. This makes it easier to deploy single codebases, but it also means you’re likely to skip deploys of functions in codebases other than the ones you’re working on. If you want to invoke functions in another codebase, consider a Pub/Sub, Task Queue, or Eventarc Custom Event (coming in a few weeks) function depending on the feature set that suits you best. Codebases are just getting started and we have hopes to develop this feature in the future.

Finally, we’ve set aside budget in Q4 to rewrite part of the core of our deployment logic to improve the way we batch, backoff, and retry function deployments in the face of quotas (yes, they are retried multiple times, even when we give up due to quota errors). We hope to substantially raise the reliability of 100+ function deployments.

Care to explain why? I get that there are some horrible Java projects and libraries that have really ballooned in complexity over the years but I still see Java itself as one of the better languages. Especially for corporate work.
That’s fair. I suspect we are at least 30 years from a drunk to be legally able to order their self driving car home without issue simply due to cultural inertia.

Assuming we get to that point it will probably be another 20 years after that before non self driving is seen in the same way as driving a motorcycle is today. Aka something that’s not suicidal, but defiantly excessively dangerous.
The key is the kind of gun control. I don't want kids having gatling guns, drunks shooting off their pistols on New Year's in city limits, neighbors owning live grenades, or criminals packing SMGs. I do want every sane, stable, decent, responsible adult conceal carrying to be able to defend their life and others against the threat of mass shooters and random crazies. When seconds matter, help is only minutes-hours away and can file a report about it. Weapons-free areas require there to be official continuous security to fill the void, otherwise it presents a security risk to those who follow the rules. (And I'm no MAGA, I'm a pinko commie.) If the US started as "gun-free", gun control would be possible but there are just too many guns out there to where the "nuclear genie" is out the bottle and can't be easily put back in.
Those people are then, to further the analogy, not “web” developers but “Google network” developers. Therefore, I would not ask them to do anything more than they are doing; what they are doing is irrelevant to the new interlinked network.
This is interesting, is this the fate of every upstart PaaS, to
be acquired by an Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle etc. I see it might be necessary but also feels like a long con. You got popular because of not being the stuffy, complex, corporate thing. Then you slowly become one.

This is why more and more I will err on the side of foss. I am investing my learning time into linux tools (bash and tmux for eg) even when using windows. Maybe even get back into vim. Because these tools will probably be the same after I die, or at least heavily backward compatible.
> Or acceptance of difference.

That only works if both sides do it. The problem is that there are many political ideologies across the entire spectrum that are unwilling to accept the difference to the point of resorting to violence to remove it.
Back when I worked at Samara (Aribnb's R&D) we needed to generate a dataset with more or less realistic road trip routes. With stops on the way and realistic destinations. Working on that and then exploring the results was fun and made me realise I could build it for everyone's fun too. That's from technical side, but also my wonderful 5 years in the United States and all the trips we had inspired me from sentimental side too.
It isn't a new company. Ownership changed in the case of an acquisition.
"Almost none of these people bothered to ask me if any of this was true or discuss it with me—they just ostracized me immediately. All of this based on a lie."

That is, for me, basic concept of conformity behaviour. Accepting virtual reality without critical thinking, just because most people agree.

"The few people who did not behave that way—I’ll be grateful to forever. They had integrity and honor. And at the very least, curiosity."

Those people are usually named as conspiracy theorist lovers, outsiders... Well in virtual reality represent by internet.

You personally? Probably not. After all, what's your chance of succeeding?

And I'd like to see proof of GP's claim, but it's pretty plausible that there are people who would try to offer and seek such a service. Imagine the damage you could cause if you managed to cancel a competitor's CxO...

That doesn't mean that such deals actually happen, of course.
You're misreading or misunderstanding. It's not your fault, the plaintiff is taking great pains not to say "Google Chrome sends this data" and make it unclear.
I have learned a lot from my kids. They have their own personalities and perspectives to contribute, and the world today is different than when I was a kid. They are not really at all like a blank program that you just need to run through the same boot up procedure that you went through. At least in my opinion.
"There are three boxes we need to tick, in order to overcome this repulsion I mentioned before and get the nuclei very close. And this is not an easy feat. We need high temperature (think a hundred million degrees), high density (have a lot of these nuclei in a very small space), and keep the nuclei in that small space long enough for them to “react”. "

High temperatures are usually used because the nuclei must have a lot of force to counter that of the liked charged partner. The most obvious way to do this is with heating the plasma because individual particles, when they collide head on, can have the combined momentum to plow their way together.

But Philo T Farnsworth found a clever way to get them close with electrostatic forces. If it weren't for those darned wires.

With millions of degrees that plasma viciously expands. An even more incredible contraction force must be used to keep this together long enough for "interesting results". This is done with inertial confinement like the Hbomb or emulations of it. Magnetic confinement merely slows the expansion, but it must at some point touch the walls.

Actually, heat is not wanted. You only need to get the nuclei close enough that they quantum tunnel to each other to relieve their own stress in their environment. 2 Dueterons spread farther than helium3 does. Think of it like phase changes in condensed matter. Except we don't care at all about electrons, simply move them somewhere that the fuel ions wish to congregate at. Fortunately this can be a single point, as charges are concentrated on pointy things, as Faraday found in his experiments. The other side is full of the fuel ions. They don't have to be hot but warming them a little in an environment that is under 770 giga-pascals of pressure might be enough to moderate a nuclear combination process. It isn't hard to create two chambers in a crystal and make them undergo reductions or oxidations to free ions or electrons (tragically this happens with lithium ion batteries all the time). If they are surrounded in an environment that is very hard, very good dielectric strength, ions or electrons can be freed with no where to go. This is known as a meta-stable state and many crystal patterns exhibit this. The best dielectric known is diamond and it's also the hardest and has a ton of other helpful properties. If diamond couldn't do this, then nothing can. A mad genius with money and time would not have to go further than it to rule it out completely.

Say my fancy idea doesn't work, if colliding macro projectiles is something useful to the author have they tried something like levitating pyrolytic carbon and propelling it with laser ablation? It could be done in a loop if part of the magnet can de-energize fast enough to allow the tiny block of carbon to escape.

The plan they have seems very Wile E. Coyote to me but fun and cool. I hope they succeed.
They do raise their orbit to 540-560km from what looks like ~350km launch orbit.
Exhibit A in reasons to probably not use convex
Yes, of course. If the case is reasonably likely to occur in the real world and have real world impact, that is. And I would assume that the GNU grep developers would agree with me.
Ah, so it's actually a leading indicator. I guess that's obvious now that you've mentioned it, but for some reason it never occurred to me. Thanks!
The differences between the browser I'm currently using and a random website with javascript on the web are:

- The browser's source code is available so I can see what it does.

- The browser is distributed by Debian who also distribute most other software I use so there is 1 organization to trust instead of 1000.

- The browser is not downloaded and executed and upgraded automatically, so it's possible for me to know what code runs and doesn't run on my computer.

- There are multiple browsers I can choose from. I can't choose which javascript to use when I visit a website.

- I can modify the browser if I want it to work differently (which I have actually done). It's harder to modify the javascirpt on a website because it's updated every time and very tied to the rest of the site and is often unreadable.

- Modifications can be distributed, so if I make a better version, other people can use it and forget about the original version if it was bad.
Trump is not advocating for political violence? Huh. Well, I guess that's debatable.

I'd argue that his election related claims are exactly that, if the elections are fraudulent what alternatives are there to solve that but violence? What other alternative could there be if the other party has truly pulled off such a coup?

Trump also pushes extreme religious views, such as abortion bans (In fact, he claims the abortion ban to have been decided by God himself).
If I put on a big trench coat, hat, sunglasses, and mask, such that no one can recognize me, I'm certainly "incognito".

If I then go into a store and say "hey I'm Pat, account number 314b" that's on me. I'm no longer incognito to them. If someone watches incognito me coming out of my front door and getting into my car, they may (reasonably) assume that it's me. This doesn't mean my identity isn't concealed.
Why do you think it isn’t possible? Let’s say they stayed puppies for 5 years. That’s at least as long as humans stay kids.

Failure of ambition if you ask me, jeez
They didn't only broke the barriers between organisations, they also made the ticket essentially free. It sold like hot cakes because of the price.

That's a classic fallacy in interpreting experimental results.

I do not deny that breaking barriers between organisations is indeed good and a positive.

Edit: there is nothing ideological in my comments and I am not 'refusing' anything. I am just pointing out what seems obvious to me: free is better and politicians spin things to their advantage.

I have trouble answering this question myself, and I created it!

The problem I have is that it can be applied to too many different problems.

I personally have used it for the following (a truncated summary):

- Publishing data online to allow other people to explore it, for example https://scotrail.datasette.io and https://russian-ira-facebook-ads.datasettes.com/

- Building websites, by combining it with custom templates. https://datasette.io and https://www.niche-museums.com and https://til.simonwillison.net are three examples

- Building my own combined search engine over a bunch of different data. https://github-to-sqlite.dogsheep.net is this for my GitHub issues and commits and issue comments across 100+ projects

- Similarly, building a code search engine across multiple repos (partly to demonstrate how far you can go with custom plugins): https://ripgrep.datasette.io

- Any time I have a CSV file I open it in the Datasette Desktop macOS app first to start exploring it: https://datasette.io/desktop

- As a prototyping tool. It's the fastest way I know of to get from some data files (CSV or JSON) to a working JSON API - and a GraphQL API too using this plugin: https://datasette.io/plugins/datasette-graphql

- Messing around with geospatial data - here's a write-up of my favourite experiment with that so far: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Jan/24/drawing-shapes-spatial...

This is a bewilderingly wide array of things! And I keep on finding new problems I can apply it to.

Of course, if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. But thanks to the plugin system (and the amazing flexibility of SQLite under the good) I can reshape my hammer to do all sorts of other things!

Maybe it's more of a sonic screwdriver.

I've been trying to capture some of this at https://datasette.io/for

This is an angle of the uneven distribution of wealth that you seldom hear about. As long as there are rich and poor people, a rich person can hire a poor person to do basically anything.

Overriding legality, decency, safety. Because the poor person just needs the money that bad.

So you get people renting out their backyard as a toxic waste dump. Or murdering people. Or breathing smog. Or selling children. Crazy horrible stuff that no sane person would do. Because they need the money.

And the rich guy is untouched.

So, to a significant degree, as long as there is rich and poor, there is no law or morality. It reduces society to a dog-pit.
I'm assuming the linked article didnt quite do it for you or...?
>>In the event of an acquisition a consumer should have complete legal authority to decide whether there information transfers to the new company, and it is opt-in only by default.

How would you sensibly have this work with a publicly traded company? Or any corporation, really. Every time any stock changes have all the data they have is unusable?

What separates this from the other “steps” towards understanding consciousness that the op article talks about?

My personal favorite is the open worm project. The sentience (not really sentience) of the worm emerges from the arrangement of the neuron models in the physics engine. The muscle models are similarly connected, and the worm model swims as if alive. The human connectome project may be the closest relatable thing in a more intelligent sphere. The hcp is also laughably far away from the resolution required to equate it to the open worm project.

Your reply strikes me similarly to my personal fascination. Also, it’s similar to me in that there is no reason to select the Darwin automata as the most likely path towards artificial consciousness. Even the recent article you linked has the classic language of “it’s possible” and not “it’s reality”.

This circles back around to why I enjoyed the book review. I do believe what you portray as incorrect (that we don’t really know much about the fundamental element of consciousness), and the different perspectives tickle my brain. I’m open to changing my opinion if you can put these things into simple ideas and terms. If you can’t put them into simple terms, though, I rest my case that we’re no closer to real understanding than Descartes was.

This is a binary situation. A year ago, nobody’s debt was getting forgiven. Today, some people’s debt is being forgiven. You are making the argument that the situation a year ago is preferable because of your desire for stricter means testing.

I am glad that you were honest about picking B. To my earlier point of “fuck Walmart and McDonald’s employees with student debt because some engineers might have a slightly reduced monthly payment” is in fact your stance. By your own admission you actually do not care about the burden that student debt has on poor people, your position is solely about the “wrong” type of person getting help.

I cannot fathom pretending that I care about poor people while also saying they should have crippling debt to suit my feelings.
