The OCI container is the binary. Docker is a tool to take any existing runtime and turn it into a static binary you can feed to any future linux(ish) kernel.

I on the other hand, have had plenty of situations where some system somewhere is managed with some config management tool (such as puppet) and it is told "make this application with these dependencies" and the application, such as "manage elasticsearch index rotation" uses the system python and does pip install to install all the things. This idiom seems fine, but ultimately ends up with a hideous mess where it worked one day and didn't work a year later, because either the system python is different or the dependencies are all messed up or the pip tool itself on the system python isn't compatible with modern package distribution.

You can (correctly) say "don't do that" but the same idiom in a shell script will almost certainly work across decades regardless of if "sh" is bash or ash or ksh, to some degree of "works" (again, you can _correctly_ say that no shell script ever works correctly).
there is a guy in Berkeley who made a certain ultra-high precision app for the iPhone.. meticulous detail, great graphic design.. endorsed by a photographer for National Geographic (a big deal in the USA and elsewhere)

Someone xxxchinaxxx copied his app exactly, with fewer features but all his layout, and advertised it heavily somehow.. after months, the clone was more popular on the Apple app store - also unclear what that means..

That was the last software written by this smart, careful and hard working guy that I know of.. had to "get a job" with a local union doing non-software stuff due to health care and retirement (over 40) considerations. There is no respect or social safety net here (California), based on this real example.
Remarkable. It's still nuclear energy, and the sobering part for me is that fusion neutrons are an order of magnitude more energetic than fission neutrons. Add the fact that fusion plants are an order of magnitude larger, and you get orders of magnitude more nuclear waste with order of magnitude higher activation/radioactivity.

If you don't like nuclear for these reasons, you'll probably hate fusion.
With everything in life, there are good and bad actors and users of technology. I focus on the good. We can't stop all the bad. Airplanes can be used as weapons (911), internet can harm people (social media and addiction), etc. The list of good things is much greater than the bad things.

Python is worse. By far in my opinion.
At this point it also probably makes it easier for law-specific OCR software to round up the standard metadata. With the sheer volume of paperwork in that industry, nobody is interested in reinventing the regex wheel for every document.
Probably a lot, but it's also not an absurd policy direction. Folks from all over have floated the vague notion that Tiktok is bad, independent of Meta. Rs tried to do it a few years ago, but implementation as a disaster.

I'd imagine the lobbying effort would be less "briefcase full of cash" and more "can we hire smart people to think through policy mechanisms, in a way that's productive for both Rs & Ds"

Though there's probably also a couple briefcases lmao

mrtksn/OP [1] is arguing that you shouldn't just do a tit-for-tat ban on China.

You should figure out what part of what the Chinese apps are doing that you don't like and ban that behavior. Otherwise this year its Tik-Tok from China and next year it's Click-Clock from UAE. Instead ban a behavior and you don't have to play whack-a-mole with countries/apps.

There is no “European” market. It’s a dozen or more different smaller markets.

There’s also almost no risk-capital, because there is mo single addressable large market.

My objection to her minting her art as an NFT was that she was going to lose money on it! She was about to become a bagholder in a market she probably didn’t even realize was a market!

The fundamental value of physical artworks is getting something pretty to put on your wall. The fundamental value of a digital commission is the existence of an image that otherwise would not exist. The NFT-theoretic concept of digital ownership isn’t inherently invalid or meaningless, but it’s not something that most regular people were ever going to find valuable, and it was being used as a smokescreen to obscure the fact that most of the value of NFTs came from speculation.

That call really soured me on the whole thing because it was firsthand evidence that cryptocurrency boosters were scamming ordinary people by convincing them that they were opening an Etsy store when they were actually buying casino chips.

TikTok already stores its data in the US and gives the US authorities full access to it.
All deposit of USDC automatically converted to BUSD.

Actually it makes thing easier for user because now USDC and BUSD always calculated as 1:1 with no swap fee. Crypto pair are more lean since they only need to pair with BUSD.

Options to withdraw USDC still available and will use BUSD balance.

It’s potentially just a much better version of fission.

Fusion won’t cause a runaway reaction — in fact it’s brutally difficult to get it to react at all, hence why this is an achievement.

It also doesn’t use materials that can be used for a bomb, again unlike fission.

As a result it has the potential to be cheaper to implement, cheaper to fuel, with no meltdown risk.
Interesting! Do you know how it compares to multitail? (https://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/) They look very similar.
Congress can legally compel you to appear - but they cannot compel you to say things against yourself (ie. incriminate yourself). You still have to show up... but you can just refuse to answer.

Globalization and the associated outsourcing has always been a contested issue. A lot of people who tried to pretend it wasn't were either trying to make a buck or willfully ignorant (see Germany's intentional utter dependence on Russian gas).
> you’ll get overwhelmed by a million irrelevant messages because the log level is set to INFO

I know this happens, but I think it's because programmers are abusing INFO. In principle it's reserved for messages that are informative at a level sys admins and a few others can make sense of and use. Unfortunately abuse often leads to "We turned INFO off" making it much harder to diagnose things after the fact.
Haha no worries, I was initially thrown by that too. But you should check it out, it's a really fantastic app / tool. Highly recommended.
There is no Europe. It's just not a thing. European countries just work with some common framework that is better than nothing.

It's not even easy to employ people across Europe. You cant as a company in Denmark offer a normal employment contract to someone in Germany. You need a legal entity in both countries. There's also still european xenophobia and racism (ie not hiring someone because of their nationality).

Moving around in Europe sucks as well. Why should you move to country X and learn their language just because of a company/job? It makes no sense. A growing company in Berlin does not benefit anyone in Warsaw. There's no synergies.
In nearly two decades developing for the web, I've never found a good reason to enlarge an image server-side, so thank you for anticipating that footgun. So many of your competitors get it wrong.

However, it's unclear from the docs [0] if one of the most common use cases is supported: requesting an image at a specific aspect ratio while not exceeding a maximum size.

For instance, I want a 1600×900px hero image at the top of my blog posts, but my source image is only 1200px wide. I request:

transform: {
width: 1600,
height: 900,
resize: 'cover'
}

Will the returned image be 675px tall, maintaining the 16×9 aspect ratio I want?

A few more notes:

The blog post states "default mode maintains aspect ratio and the resize mode is fill", but the docs say that cover is the default mode.

The docs say, "If only one [width or height] parameter is specified, the image will be resized and cropped, maintaining the aspect ratio." I believe that with only one parameter, you could either resize or crop, but not both. I hope it's resize.

For cropping modes, is it always from the center? Are there plans to support other "gravity" modes?

Use rubocop. Ban the use of `unless` except as a trailing conditional and ban double-negatives. Then the only thing you can do is `foo unless whatever?` and if someone comes along and modifies that to something horrible rubocop will yell at them that it is horrible (and `rubocop -a` will auto-fix it).

Use the tools.
You’re right, I didn't read your question accurately. By cash I assumed interest collecting back accounts. The missing out of the opportunity to make risk free money is punishment enough. If people elect to do this then they don’t think it’s risk free and thus are paying a premium to reduce risk.
I agree with the overall sentiment. If it's a country in the EU it's valid. In China though, no one has any control or say on systems and controls. You cannot enforce anything there. Even if you force all servers catering to US citizen must be in the US, how do you even enforce that the data is not going to the CCP machinery? When there is a system (CCP) that the government feels is a threat, how do you convince them that the proper controls are in place? That is not a winning battle. It will just be an exercise in covering over the topic.
And then those Chinese companies would just be banned. See Hawaui/ZTE/etc
Since there will necessarily be overhead in any kind of finished design, this "threshold" is an arbitrary one to pass, no more significant that 90% or 125%, or any other round number.
If that's true, then didn't the cold war of banning each other's apps start when China banned youtube, facebook, instagram, google, twitter, whatsapp, snapchat, amazon, messenger, and twitch, just to name a few?
No need to pit them against each other. This achievement wasn't certain. Multiple paths towards a more sustainable future is better for everyone.
>The point being that this is FUD, and HN is pushing something full of it. Which is gross and low bar.

With all due respect, the FUD in this thread is coming from you. Taking a look at Binance's announcement about the downtime[1], it mentions withdrawals and deposits both being frozen yesterday morning for a "network upgrade and hard fork", and that ended at about 11PM Eastern[4] yesterday. The withdrawal freeze that this HN thread is about only happened ~3:30AM Eastern today[2] because "[they] have seen an increase of withdrawals" and they needed to perform a swap through a US bank, and deposits remained available (a key difference between the two freezes).

These were two separate freezes that you are conflating into one.

>Hours after that tweet you quoted (which was at 12am), things are processing as normal.

They only started processing as normal at ~11:54AM Eastern, just now[3].

No, nobody was talking about that. The context was clearly one's personal Android phone (in the article), and "your smartphone" in the original comment (not "an extra/old"). The one you carry with you all the time. The article even admitted you'd have to "carry an extra battery".
Cigarettes are so expensive that no one really smokes them in NZ anyway, everyone has already moved to vapes.

I doubt that there will be a black market for tobacco as, by the time you smuggle them in, they still won't be that cheap.

Also, MPI (Ministry for Primary Industries) are even more strict on importing organic materials (or any biological for that matter) than Customs are on drugs.

In saying that, there was a big cigarette bust a couple of years back: https://www.customs.govt.nz/about-us/news/media-releases/cus...

Do you think China allows access to Facebook and Twitter?
If we can learn everything we need to know about nuclear explosions using something that approximates them without having to actually detonate them then this is still a good thing. Nuclear weapons are terrible but advancing the study of nuclear explosions may have many unforeseen uses that we would be worse off without.
If you have a better source, post it and dang will probably replace the submission’s URL.
This is the truth of it. They have devs who are making $130k who have worked there for 4 years and they don't want to give them a raise to $200k.
I don’t remember the details in the series but this was jarring. It was asserted as a fact (by the lady, IIRC, so not a specialist) without any nuance whatsoever.

That said, the OP is harsh. There are a couple of dodgy “facts” such as this one, but remarkably few for such a long mainstream TV programme.
You mean it would've been outsourced and sold off in pieces to foreign companies. The US largely doesn't value manufacturing.

In most countries, it's not clear if smokers use more health care than average. They do get sick more, but they also die sooner and more quickly. But let's assume it's true, and that smokers do cause an undue burden on the health care system, and therefore smoking should be banned. Why not apply the same argument to obesity?

Obese people definitely cause an undue burden on the health care system. Why not tax them more, or force them to diet and exercise? It would be very cost-effective, allowing taxes to be used for more productive things. And as you said, individual freedoms are always constrained in various ways for the good of society. I don't see this as much different.
Health and other benefits aside, they are "bad" in the context of people don't like having those decisions forced on them.
And it will eventually because the FED turned off the fractional reserve requirements.

So, a bank can lend out what ever it wants. This is why inflation is high all over the world and the currency milkshake theory is playing out.

After reading the whole thing, here's my summary:

Yerba mate reduces cholesterol, encourages fat loss, improves heart health, and has similar stimulative effects to coffee. However, the method of its preparation is important, as some varieties can increase the risk of certain types of cancer.

Drink it cold in moderate daily amounts for the best effect.
They should extend to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. unless they’re prepared to be open and interoperable.
Canada and Japan are also not good at innovating. Probably other places too. So this may be more of a question of why are the US (and China) above average currently.

One thing I'd speculate, US generally has more disparity than other places (that's the stereotype anyway, but it's what matters) So I bet there are way more horrible failures as well, and people in dire straights because of their decision to try and innovate. But what we see are the rare successes that come out the other end.

In terms of the Euro, I find it more useful to view the Eurozone as somewhat similar to the US. There's one central monetary policy for really large economies that in a different environment, would have liked to do things independently. It's especially relevant now as US states have GDPs comparable to the Eurozone constituent nations.
I'm always taking the wire transfer any day of the week. Nowadays, I generally straight up refuse payment in cash. Far too much of a hassle to handle. I think there is a major cultural divide between some parts of Europe and the USA on this subject which is partially due to how behind its time the USA banking system used to be.
Firefox on Android has been a game changer, because being able to use UBO with a browser is a necessity now, so I appreciate that work.

Overall this highlight set looks quite good, the introduction of several security feature reduces the need (but doesn't completely eliminate the need) for their Multi-Account Containers extension, which is also an important tool.

I notice no mention of their bizarre 'colorways' experiments which just validates to me that it is a waste of time and importantly their limited resources.

Keep up the good work, Mozilla! (Except colorways)

Interesting article on new promise for "rejuvenation" therapies (once the realm of science fiction).

Last paragraph puts its finger on one of the reasons progress is so slow:

> The most promising avenue for rejuvenation (IMO) is not attracting research attention because it cannot attract venture capital; it can’t attract venture capital because there is no attractive business model; and there is no business model because of the structure of our patent law.
More like European VCs are very risk averse when compared with their US counterparts. Raising money in Europe seems mostly either about knowing "old money" or having connections state-side and skipping the local scene, sadly.
Any evidence for your claim that deflation following a period of inflation has fewer (or none) of the harms associated with deflation? Any reason to believe that central bankers are in a good position to fine tune to get just the right amount of deflation and not overdo it, given that they already struggle with the same for inflation? Any reason to believe that the dynamics of a car diving in a line are comparable to the dynamics of the global economy?

I don't understand the magical thinking often demonstrated in these threads. Just because it sounds plausible, that doesn't necessarily mean its true.

Its simply about economics of scale.

If you built nuclear at scale, then these problems solve themselves. Just as France solved them in 15 years in the 70/80s.

Just as these problems were solved for solar/wind by economics of scale.

Solar/wind was not economical, it was basically forced into being economical by creating economics of scale.

I don’t think the poster is proposing genetic transmission. Rather it’s fairly common for parents to share “insider knowledge” they have with their kids to help them be successful. But this does not always happen.
The same flaw that afflicts much of the rest of society. Nobody can ever be content with maintaining, there always has to be "growth" or "improvement". There is a misguided perception that doing "nothing" is not a good thing, even if "nothing" needs to be done. Capitalism, as practiced worldwide, is infested with this. Annual profits must increase, and not plateau.
