In historical context, this is all thanks to industrialisation and the specialisation of industry.
The effects of the change of agriculture should not be understated. The industrialization of agriculte has made it possible for the majority of the population to do something else then farming. (be it substance or tenant farming).

Having an abundance of food and not relying on substance farming for the majority of your needs also has the knock-on effect of kids not being needed on a farm, but getting education instead. Which in term will eventually lead to more industrialisation etc.
> they looked and behaved more like phones -- social connectors -- than like computers, or information crunchers. So they got called phones.

They were marketed as a replacement and upgrade for the non-smart mobile phone you already had in your pocket. People had already adopted wireless devices that could make calls, send texts, play games and even access the internet in limited ways and those devices were called phones.
DigitalOcean billing infinite loop edge case
I'm guessing that this is an edge case.

I'm posting this on HN so that product designers can take this edge case into account when designing payment processes, especially payments related to the exit ramp.

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

I delete my last droplet on DigitalOcean (DO) in mid-November 2022.

Coincidentally, my credit card on file also expires in Nov 2022.

Receive an email from DO on Dec 1 that my credit card was declined (there's a last remaining charge of $3.22).

I can't update my credit card on file (can't find it anywhere in the account settings).

Every time I click the "Pay Now" button, the page just refreshes and shows me the "Pay Now" button again.

So I open a support ticket. Attach screenshots. Receive an automated email that says reply back to get a human to email me. Reply back. Don't get any human. Notice that my support ticket no longer exists on the DO support site.

Create a new "Team" (Some new concept they created since I originally started using DO. Not sure what a "Team" is. But credit cards now need to be associated with "Teams".)

Now when I click "Pay Now", it takes me to the billing page for this new "Team" I created.

I make a $3.22 payment. DO thanks me for prepaying for future usage on droplets on this new "Team" I created. But I still owe them $3.22 for Nov 2022.

There's no way for me to get in touch with a real human to resolve this. Have opened another support ticket. Received the same automated email I received earlier. It says that if I reply to it, I'll have a human respond. Have replied to it asking for a human.

That quote is clearly not from Socrates, or even claimed to have been from Socrates by any ancient author, as the source you link to notes.

However, it does show up frequently, and my view of it has generally been that it could have originated as a loose translation of the Superior/Right Argument character from Aristophanes' Clouds, who does make similar claims:

>And so, young man, that’s why you should choose me, the Better Argument. Be resolute. You’ll find out how to hate the market place, to shun the public baths, to feel ashamed of shameful things, to fire up your heart when someone mocks you, to give up your chair when older men come near, not to insult your parents, nor act in any other way which brings disgrace or which could mutilate your image as an honourable man.

This is very problematic in that, first, Clouds is a comedy mocking Socrates, second, Socrates' views at that point in the play are supposed to be represented by the Inferior/Wrong Argument character, not the Superior Argument character, and third, Aristophanes is mocking the claims of both characters.

In a fashion typical of Aristophanes, the Inferior Argument wins the debate with a joke about the audience's sexual proclivities that convinces the Superior Argument that its cause is hopeless.

It's a shame how well-designed and fun-to-use Fujifilm cameras are (I've owned several and they are the only digital cameras I use, apart from my phone) but how garbage their mobile app is. From what I've seen, Leica is the only company with a usable first-party app.

There were a couple of very undesired side-effects that manufacturers hate because it was making the consumers angry:

1. Burning the color of clothes.

2. Irritating the skin (hand-was was very common, it still has some use cases even today).

Also there was a move around 2003-2004 to increase the concentration of automatic washer detergents, that was meant to decrease the transportation cost for manufacturers, but overuse was even riskier. I know it was done, somewhere before 2005 when I left that area of business, part of the solution was a big marketing campaign, another part was switching to liquid detergent with a measuring cup, also including a measuring cup in the package with the larger sizes. I don't know what happened later.
While running locally on an M1 Pro is nice, recently I've switched over to a Runpod[0] instance running Stable Diffusion instead. The main reasons being high workloads placed on the laptop degrade the battery faster and it takes ~40s to render a single image. On an A5000 it takes mere seconds to do 40 steps. The cost is around $0.2/hr.

This is certainly not the case. There are many homes without electricity, especially in Alaska and other rural areas.

The Carolina parakeet is something that's particularly sad to me. I have family in the coastal Carolinas and there's a certain historical continuity of culture and natural history that extends from there to the caribbean. Many people in the area seem to migrate back and forth, there are fish and animals whose northernmost range is in the area and whose southernmost range is in the carribean, and there's many historical connections between the two (pirates, commodity trade, and so forth). Even hurricanes make their way from places in the carribean northward to the coast before they dissipate or hit land.

The Carolina parakeet is kind of a ghost in this way, this animal that's conspicuous by its absence once you learn about it. It's easy to imagine one special, northern, cold-adapted species of parrot living on the American southeast-midatlantic coast, especially in the Carolinas, a kind of northern relative to birds living in the tropics, in the same way that so many other things are.
Article starts with...

"The European Union jumped on the electric vehicle craze well ahead of other parts of the world, particularly after the Paris climate accord. But in typical socialist fashion, they weren’t content with simply encouraging people to switch to EVs."

"Edward Morrissey (born April 3, 1963) is an American conservative blogger, columnist, motivational speaker, and talk show host.[1] He goes by the nickname Captain Ed and he lives in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota.[2] He wrote his original blog, "Captain's Quarters", from October 2003 to February 2008. He now works full-time as a blogger for Hot Air.[1][3] and writes a column for The Week. He also participates in Bloggingheads.tv[4]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Morrissey

In an energy crisis, where for example people can't heat their homes, it doesn't seem to be surprising or inappropriate that there might be a need for restrictions.

It's ironic that there might be a restriction during an energy crisis against using an EV which is more energy efficient.

That doesn't change the big picture though.

So for me everything has to be infrastructures as code. I don't want to log into a UI and start configuring connections etc.

Also not keen on giving you production accesses to my databases, but maybe I misunderstood your implementation.

So I like the idea of a docker container that does this as a proxy.

It's a tough market you're going into, $395 per database is a big ask.

«Investors can redeem up to 5 per cent of their holdings in any given quarter,…» so that's the maximum it may need to sell, and it has a choice of what to sell, «logistics facilities, apartment buildings, casinos and medical office parks» so the presumably it'll chose to sell in whichever section its sales cause the least downward pressure. At least assuming the downward pressure affects Blackstone's own sale prices.
Are you certain bitwarden has not? I read a thread here some time ago where 1password was bragging that they have never been breached, and someone basically commented back "they have never been breached that they are aware of".

I am concerned at some level on the lastpass breaches, but I am less affected so far than I have been by the equifax, target, and t-mobile breaches. I have had years of free credit monitoring since each one of those handed out enough data to compromise my identity several times over.

Who writes these articles? A key leak is not a "major bug."
Hmm, I used to think that. But then I took a year off. I probably could have coasted about 5 years, more if I invested it in a particular way. But at the end of it I would have had nothing. So I went back and got a job. It seemed more interesting than doom scrolling reddit and youtube. It just seemed kind of wasteful to me to do basically nothing. As I realized my hobbies I did not really care about either.

It was a while back, but I do remember airlines shut down. I think cargo flights got cancelled.

It was not as bad as the COVID lockdowns, but at the time the changes were pretty drastic.

A lot of overhead was added for security. Now you need ID to get into a lot of places you did not need before. For example: my uncle was a UPS driver, and he said before 9/11 people just saw the uniform and waved him through. Bottom line, I think 9/11 showed there was no slack capacity, and a lot of companies struggled. I guess companies just adjusted to the new reality.

I do remember reading articles/web pages questioning JIT, and stating that if there was more slack capacity adjusting would have been easier, although I cannot think of any specific URLs/writers at the moment.

I am just a software grunt, but I feel like I have seen a similar dynamic in every job/project I have been on. Management keeps yacking about innovation, and pushing more work on us, while dismissing the notion that more time and/or more people would make everyone's lives a lot easier.
I've noticed recently that a lot of smartphone cameras are doing a lot of heavy software upscaling and smoothing that erases details worse than simply low resolution. Everything is starting to look airbrushed. Having a real lens to do a lot of the optical heavy lifting and letting the sensor sense makes a huge difference if you really care about detail.

Very different size. You could argue that switch/steamdeck-sized devices have replaced gameboy/ngage/psp-like devices. However, phones seem like the much closer competition -> none of Nintendo, sony or MS even tried to make this form factor anymore
Came here to say exactly this. And in fact x86_64 has historically gotten a ton more tuning and (at least in my experience) will more aggressively inline at pretty much all optimization levels.

I really don't know why an article about code density chose that level instead of -Os or -O2.

You're right that compilers tend to have bugs, but in practice, compiler bugs are rarely the cause of software issues. The same cannot be said of libraries. Major SSL/TLS libraries for instance tend to be written in C, and all of them have had memory-safety bugs.

> Library authors know things about what their code is meant to be doing that compilers cannot deduce, so cannot act on. But the library author can.

I don't see your point here.

> A library, according to how heavily it is used, benefits from more thorough testing than generic application code gets

This doesn't generalise. There's plenty of very widely used application-specific code, and there's plenty of little used library code. Also, widespread use does not imply a high level of scrutiny, even if we're talking only about Free and Open Source software.

Anyway, that's all a sidetrack. The benefits of memory-safe languages aren't up for debate, even for well-scrutinised codebases. We continue to suffer a stream of serious security vulnerabilities arising from memory-safety issues in code written in unsafe languages. The go-to example is Chromium, where 70% of serious security issues are due to memory safety. [0]

I really wonder too. I like UBI for example for this reason. I'd think addictions would wreak havoc among these people too though, because addictive things wait around every corner of society, promising to make the bad feelings go away. Nevertheless I think it would be a worthy effort to have a system that doesn't let people stoop down below a specific level.

Mohamed Kamara Payam Zamani, MD Sam Rubinzstain Dr. Ashok Gupta, DPT Jack Reynolds Kate Pascucci (She/Her) Kerry Kozuki Jyotsna Mehta Maria Kunstadter Shaun Mitra Vytas Kisielius Matthew (MG) Grose Gregg Smith

Please share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback on the report's content so we can engage in the comments section.
> Then again, if you already use nginx (say for serving static files), using it to also front your app is the easiest solution and you only need to start wondering about alternatives once you hit a lot of traffic. Any benefits or drawbacks would only show once you start shoving in massive amounts of traffic, and your app will be bottleneck way before that.

That's the whole magic of FFT, it can be done in O(n*log(n)). And this is a practical algorithm, unlike the many fascinating algorithms for multiplying matrices. GMP will switch to FFT for multiplying very large numbers, for example, as numbers laid out in digits (whether binary or decimal) are polynomials if you look at them from the right angle. For processing audio and video it very quickly becomes economical to do the convolution in the frequency domain.

EDIT: never mind, I just figured out that you pointed a typo in the parent comment. Straightforward implementation is indeed O(n^2)
You’re actually reinforcing the idea: YES, it /isn’t/ charity. It’s a tiny modification to an existing behavior which individually might produce a negligible positive outcome, but cumulatively might produce a large(r) positive outcome.

I think prev post is saying: /some/ people making a trivial individual choice to produce /some/ cumulative benefit is preferable to /zero/ people making that same trivial choice to produce /zero/ cumulative benefit.
I love the idea of CIRR but it is largely a failed institution. Their measures have changed dramatically over the years (the last CIRR event anyone at BloomTech attended resulted in the notion that anyone who adds anything new on LinkedIn could be considered "hired," even if it was a portfolio project or self-employment), and are used very differently from school to school, resulting in every major school I know of stopping to work with them.

For example, we used them for our first outcomes report and paid extra to have them "verify" our outcomes report, but they literally never opened the Google Drive file we sent them.

I think it was a great idea set up by well meaning people, but the self-governing aspect and comparisons created ended up in weird incentives that resulted in it falling apart.

The review sites are perhaps marginally better, but the positivity of reviews are almost 100% correlated with how hard schools work to farm for positive reviews, and their business model is selling leads to the schools, so the incentive isn't for objectivity there either.

Honestly the best way, though it requires more work, is to find a handful of recent grads on LinkedIn and ask them about their experience.
Depending if this became "popular", could overload them with traffic.

I presume this is a fun test project though, so I doubt it would cause much harm, but it could be there.
