What's wrong with that? He's not trying to be a journalist in some mainstream publication (both-side-ism is suspect anyway). You read Stross to get his take on things, from his point of view.
Ha. "Enemy of my enemy" I suppose, on this one.

(It is interesting the extent to which people don't tend to think in these terms. Yeah, the Koch's are terrible. But they're 100% correct on this one)
Yeah, I guess something needs to be done. Blockchain is powerful, but it seems to not be reaching its potential. Cryptocurrency seriously is denting its image. Sadly.

I missed that, thanks.
Whatever you think of the Kochs, their views are generally more libertarian than Republican, eg pro marijuana, anti Trump, David Koch was (inconsistently) pro abortion. So this policy is pretty typical for him.
Imagine you have a largish property (say 5 acres) and you had a greenhouse that was not visible from any adjacent public land, and police suspect you're growing some marijuana in that greenhouse. Would it be unreasonable for cops to get a helicopter, fly high enough to see over the things hiding the greenhouse, claim they saw marijuana from a distance of over 400 feet with just their eyes, and used that as probable cause to then get a search warrant for the property? In Florida v Riley, "The Court held that Riley had no reasonable expectation of privacy in this case because anyone could view Riley’s property from a helicopter flying in navigable airspace and figure out what was inside. The police officer did not enter Riley’s land or interfere with it in any way. Furthermore, the manner in which he was flying the helicopter was well within the law; therefore, the police officer was within his rights to view Riley’s property from the air. The Court determined that the police action in this case did not violate Riley’s Fourth Amendment rights." [0]

That case was in 1988, and it is not out of line with the 4th Amendment decisions over the ~50+ years since the Warren court that made good 4A decisions (like Katz vs US [1]). So expect this case to fly through 6 to 3.

I would assume that the college IT dept is using tools made for businesses, which businesses will usually set up on machines they own (that is, not employee personal hardware), so in that case it's not unreasonable for the business to be able to set up which folders get backed up. Of course, it's never a great idea to store personal things on your work computer, for this reason and others.

But of course that model isn't a great fit for university students, who will usually not have a laptop issued by the university. Not an excuse for this happening, but I can understand how it would.
I wish more fields would just start adopting the product/engineer partnership that Software companies have perfected. Engineers are very good at what they do. Product people are very good at what they do. They need each other to build things. Sure, engineers might know enough about product to get by and product people might know enough about coding to get by, but the reason it works is because each one is an expert in what they do and are equal.

Its no different in finance, healthcare, genomics etc. I'd love to work in a setting where I'm paired with an SME product manager in a domain I have no clue about and they respect my work and I respect theirs and we are partners.

This is one of the biggest factors that made software/internet companies explode. They respected people who build software. They didn't need to. A bunch of MBAs could have easily just decided that the best way to run the company was to treat the people building the product as a cost center. Many did. I think that's probably one of the reason for the lack of innovation and down fall in many old tech companies like HP/IBM.

The ones that treated SWEs properly and valued them accordingly, did very well.

The price of a Lexus is nowhere near that of a Ferrari. A Mercedes is also essentially a Toyota with nicer interior and more gadgets - if you want to put it that way.
It's not a question of rights, since she obviously has them, it's a question of 'How fucked up is it to put your desire to have a child over that child's wellbeing.'

At some point in the desire to wellbeing ratio, that equation crosses the line into 'incredibly selfish'. Children aren't just trophies for their parents.

> And why would you compare that to "the billions moving through FTX"?

Because they were parading SBF around as this bastion of EA. No doubt a lot of people anchored their ships to FTX because of this and used his affiliation as evidence of FTX being "the good guys." Is it a direct relationship? Not as far as I've seen, but I wouldn't be surprised to find a lot of the money they were taking in (as investment and deposits) as a low-key slush fund for people tied to EA.
> What does Twitter do so we’ll that we can’t imagine doing without it?

It is assumed to be the best place to hang out on the internet. This assumption holds so much water that a multi billionaire paid $44B for it.

There's also a lot to be said about shaming public officials/organizations (courtesy of the trending feature) into action.
Transportation as a service? I think there is a word for that TAaS... no TAX... TAXA??
What Mastodon drama? The only problems I've seen recently is server scaling to account for Twitter refugees.
What I mean to say is that it doesn't matter to know who physically performed the actions, only to know who planned and directed it. Just like we might blame bin Laden for 9/11 even though he didn't fly the planes. He was on the other side of the earth. Or whatever, you get the idea.

But in any case, of course we don't know. But we should attempt to find what is and isn't a reasonable explanation, and what may be most reasonable.
There are a lot more positions for people with advanced mathematics and/or science backgrounds with strong programming chops than there are typical software positions. But they do exist.
That is also moot since they currently have zero positions posted.

Discovery will probably shed some light on this. How would the plaintiff know the exact method used?

Tell me you’ve never been a plaintiff in a lawsuit without telling me you’ve never been a plaintiff in a lawsuit. Why would the fillings _not_ be biased to the side being represented? Why would the side being represented be biased to the defense? That makes no sense at all.
Opportunity cost. By having to study it at all, those students lose the opportunity to study something else that might have more value or merit to them personally. In that way, it definitely is a forced priority.
That's only for a particular variant.
Having read it I'll summarise :

* There are multiple news threads at the moment

* As a result it's hard to pick just one to blog about

* Therefore, this post if an attempt to tackle all of them

That might explain why it's hard(er) to follow - it is a bit rambly, but that is partly the point.
Things are not so easy, just yesterday there was an article about the financial crises caused by a Korean state not honouring their bond promises.

If Gazprom would simply turn off the gas and say f* off to the fines, they would signal to ask buyers that they are willing to disregard contracts for political reasons. This would significantly undermine confidence in doing business with them, and likely lower prices people would pay for their gas.

Show HN: M3o.org: A Mastodon server for remote developers
Hey all

Just sharing this new Mastodon server I started for remote developers. Personally I've been hacking solo and on open source for 7 years. More recently with a team but we were fully remote because of COVID. I feel like there's not really a good community around that and the emergence of Mastodon recently made me think there's an opportunity to create one.

Join us if you're a remote developers https://M3O.org
Simply put, I can get a better paid gig just developing for the web, without understanding any complicated domain (what the developers do is the complexity).

Working in research in general doesn't seem to pay that well or the well paid jobs are few and far.

Maybe it's a sector ready to be disrupted by a startup with quality developers; but I still have to see disruption based on improving code quality. It's a tangential aspect as well and doesn't impact much the actual business.
Surprising that your and the OP's experiences are so different. Based on the description, I think it's safe to assume the OP also has thousands of files, some of them very large.

I wonder if the issue is with Nextcloud itself, or with the particular hosting provider.

I love to drive manual transmissions, and taught my kids how to drive them.

My last stick car (I'm between cars right now) was a WRX STi. I was teaching my son how to drive it when he made an unfortunate 3rd-gear-to-2nd (while looking for 4th). It was quite an experience.

Luckily, no damage done to car or people. Just a great story for telling later.

It’s not surprising, and I am used to it by now. I agree the tone was combative, but I have been losing patience with the virtually uniform acceptance of every ridiculous proclamation about Russia in the US/Western media, and the ridiculous/pathetic suggestions that anyone who questions that narrative is working for the Kremlin or somehow a Putin admirer. “This time is different, this a good war.” Makes me want to vomit.
“Wildly”? It might be preferable to name it after a scientist but a long time institutional leader is still highly valuable to science.
Honestly, I think people like you are the right kind of people to start private enterprises and bring along professional software engineers to help you build something incredible in the space.
I understand your point and you are completely right, but on their perspective your experience from multiple aspects of codebase is still valuable contribution and making a difference isnt it.
Vue is similar because you can add it to a page and have the entire app asap single file, editable inline.

With Svelte you need a build step, and can’t change the app without setting that up first.
Pyret (https://www.pyret.org) is already filling this role very nicely (browser-based Python-like for use in teaching), and has the advantage of having been designed by people whose careers are devoted to the study of programming pedagogy. It’s the language used in the front half of Data-centric Introduction to Computing, which is available online for free (https://dcic-world.org/2022-08-28/index.html). The second half of the book transitions to Python, at which point the reader/student is well-prepared to understand aspects of Python that can be tricky for first-time programmers.
I don't see the fright. So many things do this - electricity for example - you turn the lights on and off and run the laundry machine whenever it pleases you, but on the scale of millions of people the power companies predict the daily usage patterns very well.

> Processed meat – meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavor or improve preservation

> Red meat – unprocessed mammalian muscle meat such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, horse and goat meat

> Consumption of processed meat was classified as carcinogenic and red meat as probably carcinogenic after the IARC Working Group – comprised of 22 scientists from ten countries – evaluated over 800 studies. Conclusions were primarily based on the evidence for colorectal cancer. Data also showed positive associations between processed meat consumption and stomach cancer, and between red meat consumption and pancreatic and prostate cancer.

When they talk about causing cancer they're talking about two things: the quality of the evidence, and then the strength of the effect.

For processed red meat the evidence is very strong: processed red meat does cause colorectal cancer.

But how much cancer does it cause? It doesn't appear to cause much cancer. If you have a genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer, or if you want to be very cautious, you might want to think about avoiding processed red meat. But otherwise, well, the small increase in risk might be worth it for the benefits you get from eating food you enjoy.

I keep hearing this, but...is it true? Doesn't this viewpoint rely on a prediction that it's going to actually crash and be unrecoverable?
Blockchains are algorithms to create public, redundant, distributed, immutable transaction logs without a central authority or transaction processor. I've thought long, long and hard about what would benefit from this kind of algorithm and the only thing I can come up with is ownership of cryptographic keys, and the only use case I can come up with for wanting a distributed trustless public immutable ledger of the transfers of cryptographic keys -- is a cryptocurrency or other token-like scheme!

Otherwise it is a solution in search of a problem. Distributed and redundant, but with enormous inefficiency. Immutability is actually a drawback in many cases. Most proposed uses like inventory tracking or etc. are much better served with a centralized database.
Haven't heard about that but I know people use it to buy drugs quite often, as in the dealer will message you through Wickr, then you transfer crypto payments and they either mail it or drop it off. A breeding ground for scams related to this as well.
Well real or not, the pine nut from the stone pine is vastly superior in flavor and aroma to the Chinese imports, which is where the comparison to the truffle comes from.

Pine nuts from the stone pine are really expensive. Although, in this case, it's rather easy to notice the difference.
I'm not sure you understand how vile the oligarchs of Russia are. The country is a kleptocracy. These guys don't give two shits about the citizens of Russia, never mind anywhere else. They are constantly making insane deals that are terrible for the country and the citizens, but enrich themselves personally.
> But the US does things professionally and they would have blown up all the pipes as opposed to 3 out of 4

That's a shakey presumption. 3 out of 4 may have been a compromise between the arguments for taking out the pipelines and the arguments against it. We cannot know for certain how many pipelines the attacker, whoever it was, intended to destroy.
I know the US has sucky trains, but commuter rail in Massachusetts is not electrified, so it is pretty dirty. I also recall a study of diesel busses running regularly scheduled routes. Because the load factor over the whole day is low, buses do not save much if any fuel or emissions.

Solving the above problems plus being on-demand and door to door is a huge benefit.
I think you're right about the end result, and I do not like it. I also disagree with the Riley case: unless you have REALLY good binoculars, there isn't any way someone could tell what kind of plants are in a greenhouse at 400 feet.
> Seafile is also a binary distributed by Chinese team

Web search for Seafile turned up a GitHub repository, so seems like it's open source? That doesn't rule out the possibility of a carefully-hidden back door that no one has found yet, of course. But I think it should increase confidence over a closed-source binary distribution.

Regardless, this level of xenophobia is getting a little tiresome. If you have evidence that this project is run by or sponsored by the Chinese government, then sure, I'd find that a showstopper as well. But a group of people, who just happen to be Chinese, building something shouldn't immediately be grounds for dismissal. China is a very big place, with a truly staggering number of people, and the Chinese government -- contrary to popular belief -- doesn't have its hands in everything its citizens do.

A basic difference is that search engines don't make up fictional links, quotes, and citations.(Though they often index web pages that are bullshit.)

"Fill in the blank" training results in a model that guesses when it doesn't know the answer. You need some different kind of training or architecture to get nonfiction.

This turned out to be a great demo for demonstrating what a large language model can't do, because people expect nonfiction for scientific papers, making the bullshitting stand out more.
I quit several years of a dream job in Apple engineering to work on genomics in mid 2016; the small company i joined tanked in 6 months. I think the problems impacting this space include vague customer needs. Caveat emptor, so to speak.

It seems to me like we'd probably be better off partnering with domain experts in Genomics who want to build software that can be used across the board. Sounds like an interesting opportunity for a business. I'm open to the idea if anyone wants to chat, let me know. I'm SWE but would want to partner with a Genomics Expert.

Hey ToolJet crew - it's not lost on the rest of us that you're apparently gang-downvoting similar projects here (as I write this, illa-builder and refine are both downvoted well into the gray on this page). Here on HN, it's not uncommon to see founders of competing projects/companies engaged in deeply thoughtful, respectful conversations with each other.

Open source projects are heavily about community. The gang down-voting of other projects in the space seems to say a lot about approach to community, and certainly says nothing good about ToolJet or its community.
