If your marriage has a 94% chance of ending in divorce, it hardly makes sense to get married. Unless, of course, it's socially unacceptable to simply live together, so marriage is the only practical way to do so.
Defensive drones will become as common as offensive drones.

Unfortunately, both defensive and offensive drones might be hacked to attack their masters.

As these drones gain more autonomy, they may become a threat to just about everyone, friend and foe.

Huh. Is that not common vernacular where you're from?
In the minds of imaginary property maximalists, the world is a zero sum game to be divided up and parceled out through artificial rules and regulations. So an ISP not doing one of the most common ways of squeezing customers is an indication of that business not holding the line of artificial scarcity.
The best part about this is removing regulations wont change any prices. They will just keep the profits and continue to raise prices.

1) Company Complains about regulations
2) Gov Removes Regulations
3) Companies do dumb stuff
4) Gov Applies Regulations
5) People forget about dumb stuff
6) Return to step 1.

Upstash on Fly.io is not serverless. You provision the RAM + connection counts you want, and then pay for that capacity.

This is not what all our customers want, but it is much cheaper to run this way for most fullstack frameworks. It's not ideal for a Redis you don't use at all, though.

We're considering a serverless / metered billing option for this. But what we have is much closer to spinning up a permanent Redis. :)

Hey there, I'm a full-stack developer looking for my next opportunity to collaborate with an enthusiastic, hardworking, and fun team. Check out my most recent project - Herald - an open-source application that simplifies the deployment of a full observability pipeline, condensing a complex multi-application deployment (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana, Fleet Server) into just a few simple steps. ( https://herald-app.github.io/#case-study )
I'm not a libertarian, and believe pretty strongly that while it's probably not a good idea to have a "planned economy", you can and should redistribute some from the "winners" to those who the market leaves behind.

That said, zoning regulations in particular are a net negative, were mostly born out of racism in the US, and their purported objectives can be achieved better through other mechanisms - actually regulating externalities like noise and smell.

> We've seen in real life that a large corporation can plan a proportion of an economy.

No we haven’t. Look at the list of Fortune 500 companies today vs 50 years ago. The landscape is completely different. IBM was the most innovative company in America and now it's seen as a dinosaur. Corporations die each year. It’s cutthroat; your business is more likely to fail than succeed. The idea that Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell could do a better job planning the economy is laughable

> We don't know how officials will behave if they have to pay a persistent, meaningful cost for surveilling us. We've never tried it.

To try that, step one would be making people aware of what's even happening. As you say, news orgs are failing us all.

Assange and Snowden took Step One toward that end... And were made an international example of. The institutions and news orgs who ought to have been their main support failed, and even turned on them in most cases.
Seems like they should rename it at this point.
Another fair but PITA is the child penalty when it comes to traveling.

Because the way schools are set up - everyone in a geographic area has to travel on specific weeks. So airlines jack up prices incredibly. Like - from some price that a family might be able to swing to almost medical emergency prices.

I'll be sure to take advantage when the time comes. But if you want to know why on average US people are ignorant of the world vs other western countries - you have your answer.
Thank you for your response! (And you have such an excellent user name!)

I don't want to sound like a stickler but I'm not hearing him claim 1-2 months for the next test flight. That is the specific thing I'm asking about. I even downloaded the subtitles and was reading through it.

Are you maybe confused about this part? "I think from a technique from a rocket standpoint and Pad standpoint we are probably ready to launch in uh six to eight weeks"

Or maybe this one "and hopefully be ready to fly again in a couple months uh once again". That's not a claim that in 1-2 months they will fly again. That is a hope that in a few months they will be able. A "couple months" can be very well more than 2, and a hope is not a promise.
Corporations fail a lot in their plans. On top, not certain that the planning aspect is what gives rise to corporations in the first place (vs., e.g, transaction costs between independent actors if there where no corporation).
If you're getting insurance it's probably worth it.
A very natural step for Vercel. Not having a prescribed statefulness/storage solution has been a pain since they've pivoted into strictly serverless.
In my case, both are the same distance, but you're right their hours are better!
I can't vouch for cube itself as I haven't used it but can confidently say such tools are highly valuable. I built one for use in my own business and have operated other businesses on similar tools.

It brings all data together, provides a consistent interface, and is way faster than writing SQL (though there will still be use cases for that). There is some up front cost to getting configured but it pays off in my case at least.

You mean examples why they didn't. Just because Starship exploded at launch it does not prove all Starships are going to explode. Likewise, if you have a handful of trials of planned economy it does not imply the whole concept is infeasible. Stating otherwise is fallacious.
> The west is trying to get rid of meritocracy not realizing the only other options that have been successfully implemented by humans are nepotism and discrimination.

“Meritocracy” is just discrimination where the speaker agrees with the basis of discrimination, thus seeing it as “merit”. It isn’t an alternative to discrimination.
Is it just me or are a lot of software related questions going to these 9 people who “are not like the nine greatest experts on the internet”, according to Justice Kagan?

Although to be fair, they did really well on Oracle v Google (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_....). The questions the Justices asked were very good and the final judgement was definitely written by a clerk who understood software well.

It's possible they might mess this up. I'm having a hard time imagining a site that doesn't make a decision on what content to show. Even HN makes an editorial decision when choosing what to show on the front page. It would be absurd to hold dang accountable for that.
In a very literal sense, this is an absolute false equivalency meant to obfuscate and excuse the truly horrific behavior of the Soviet state.

I see the tankies are out in force for May Day.

The Gulags: Let me introduce myself.
One thing I've noticed about this thread: there's a lot of ideologue driven discussion based on a minimum amount of economic comprehension.
I'm having the same issue on Firefox for a few weeks. The only solution I've found is to right-click on the back button and click on the history item you want to go back to.
I'm biased since I live this philosophy but it sort of works for me, I've trained myself to realize these sorts of services operate by "interfacing" by emitting strings of words that sound appealing to the mind that consumes them. Look at virtual YouTubers for another example, it's the experience of watching people act "genuine" like casual friends because it activates the same social neurons, hence each month the actors receive a paycheck

The question becomes more complicated when the corpos are done away with and you have the model running on your own machine. The entity I tend to trust the most in life is raw, unfiltered silicon. When I program, it does exactly what I ask it to, to a fault. It doesn't turn its back on you because you said something stupid or you don't agree with an opinion it holds

But is an LLM repeating the tokens "you are worthy of this life" and its many variants thousands of times fundamentally any better even if you're in control? It strikes me as one step closer to wireheading honestly. But that's true for a lot of things like video games, just to a much more distant extent, it's all data in the end

But interest and anxiety have gotten the better of me when it comes to meeting strangers, so I'm at a loss. Maybe the solution for people like me is to just ignore all those things in the category of social or substitute and channel my efforts into other hobbies instead of continuing to associate stress with communication. Or intellectualize endlessly, like in this post, to prevent any emotional bond from easily forming when people read it
I can choose where to live, work, and spend my leisure time. Obviously, some of these opportunities are determined at a second order level by regulations, but this is much less direct and a significant delta compared to USSR.

The fact that tiny homes are answer for teachers in some areas and not paying them more. Can the teacher take it with them when they get burnt out.

This is the same answer to solve homelessness in some regions. The Arizona parents probably still going to give these teachers hell everyday.
Well, to be honest, people were allowed to pick a profession. And you had some wiggle room to pick your placement and change works later on.

And you were allowed to drink in your kitchen with whoever you want. Although if KGB noticed you were partying with known dissidents or on certain days (e.g. independence day of the republic that was then occupied by soviets)... you'd be, let's say, cancelled :) Or if you kids had poppy seeds in dental inspection that was accidentally held on christmas day...
Socialists are worrying but a noisy minority who never shut up pretending to be far bigger than they are within their bubbles. You can tell this by their complete lack of electoral success. Instead they operate based entirely upon sophistry of some sort or another trying to manufacture a mandate when the numbers just aren't there. It is essentially pure copium mistaken for a tactic. Combine that with the addiction to being the resulting reoccurring self-sabotage like purity spirals and fractal ideological divisions for the sake of their own sense of identity and I don't see them going anywhere.
"legally"?

Do you have a citation for that claim?

I do. It's usually perfectly treatable with antibiotics and chronic (post-treatment) Lyme disease is...controversial, among doctors. I'm not saying it isn't real, but I've known a person that thought they had celiac disease, then it was Lyme disease, then it was something else, and something else... It's one of those things that people can convince themselves they have, and there's no way to actually test for it.

The tick bites that can cause you to become allergic to red meat are frankly a lot more scary to me.

The point is I've probably had 30 deer ticks in my life and I've been tested for Lyme disease plenty and they all came back negative. You certainly don't need to worry about regular wood ticks. Like I said, do what you can to prevent it. I spray my shoes with permethrin, for instance.
I’m used to lower quality SCOTUS analysis getting posted here, but the first thing I wanted to note is that this site’s page design and playback widgets is actually pretty good. It’s also apparently not a news organization because I was ready to blindly throw the RSS feed into NetNewsWire and see what I thought of it by next week.

Second, it pretty much nails it in this paragraph:

> A few outcomes are possible. First, the court could uphold the lower court decisions that 230 immunizes Google from liability in this case. Second, the justices could find in favor of the Gonzalez family, taking 230 immunity off the table and causing the lawsuit to move on to its next question: whether YouTube’s conduct violates specific antiterrorism laws. Last, the court could ultimately decline to rule on the question, citing clerical issues or the low likelihood Gonzalez would succeed on the antiterrorism element.

Those are the possibilities. I had to go back and look at my notes from a few months ago because there was a similar and related case against Twitter that had oral arguments scheduled the same day, and where I ended up coming down based off a reading of the room is that most likely Section 230 is upheld entirely in the Google case by 9-0 or 8-1 and it’s not even close; but it might still be very slightly curtailed by the outcome of the Twitter case which wasn’t a Section 230 (Communications Decency Act) case per se but a Section 2333 case under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Here is the Oral Argument and transcript of Gonzalez v. Google LLC: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2022/21-13...

And this is Twitter, Inc. v. Taamneh: https://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/audio/2022/21-14...

Both are worth listening to, and if you’re going to listen to both, listen to Gonzalez v Google first as it was argued first. Oral arguments are not always or not even usually the determining factor for how a case comes out, but reading the room, I just don’t see the votes for curtailing interpretations of 230 in any significant way on the Court.
Why would anyone want to use a grungy, slow charging public usb port and be stuck in some place for however long it takes to get frustrated that it isn't filling your phone fast enough?

Get a power bank. They are cheap and even the large ones weigh no more than a pound. They have enough juice to get any phone through a day or 2 of use. You bring it with you everywhere and you never have to think about the battery level in your phone. Notice it's low (single digit percent battery) while out and about, plug in the powerbank and carry on being out and about.

The idea that I would use a public charger attached to a garbage can that I would then need to sit next to for an hour is crazy.
I can highly recommend "Towards a new Socialism" by Cockshott on this topic. It gets into the details of economic planning from a practical side, and even discusses the computational complexity of different algorithms
the margin that vercel makes on these products that you can easily integrate with nextjs (or anything else that runs on their infra) is crazy. All of them offer easy integration with the edge or lambas functions...

If you touch type anyway (and the keyboard allows it), you could switch the keycaps between 'd' and 'f' and 'j' and 'k'. Or any other combination that puts the nubs in the place you want, really.

As a bonus, it'll confuse the hell out of anyone who doesn't touch type.
I wasn't aware of Infiniminer, but that makes a strong case to negate any strong claims from microsoft trying to stop minetest. But I also would change that name.
An EMP bomb can easily sort out robots but nothing can protect us from data and ip theft. That’s the real danger here unless regulated quickly.
> everyone in a geographic area has to travel on specific weeks

That sounds like supply and demand 101.

The direct answer here is take your kids out of school whenever it’s cheapest and then have them hang out at home during the “official” vacation period.
This sounds like what I need too. I would absolutely love to see the app once you are ready to show it!
Why not use those gift credit cards loaded with cash if you want anonymity for less effort?
The key piece missing then is corporate valuation.

This is an arbitrage play based on the difference between investor sentiment and debt on the books.

The idea is that their market valuation will go down less than $1B if they issue a $1B bond.

Similar nonlinearities are true for other corporate holdings. Facebook has $40B cash on hand. If they had $0 on hand, That would hurt their valuation by a lot more than $40B because investors like to see some cash in the bank, and see it as a red flag. Similarly, Investors dont care much about a little debt, and facebook is an outlier in that it has very low levels of corporate debt.
The first step is to take ownership as a worker so that you at least take what you make. You can investigate worker syndicalism, sociocracy, etc for ways to do that with the help of peers.
Vast numbers of people in the West don't own their own home either. Not really the same as living in the old East since you can choose where you live here, within your budget, but I wanted to highlight that a lot of our freedom ends when the money does.

I believe this is a core factor as to why Supabase hasn't joined Cloudflare and Vercel, they don't have that "outside" aspect. By all other counts, they are well established to do so and who knows maybe they do have something in the works to tie in their offerings together from the "outside".

You all may be arguing against a strawman. A completely hypothetical one, at that.

The actual danger temp, 260c / 500f, is trivially achievable on most home cooking equipment.

And even if the danger temp were 2,000 degrees, there would still be the major dangers from manufacturing and the associated pollution, as has been noted.
The person thought that technology & AI were the only keys to saving the world from climate change. And ultimately the chatbot agreed to do this if the person sacrificed themselves to "join her".

That is awful in so many ways, and the most likely outcome is probably that the company will give a payout to the family and try the cat-herding process of trying to get their LLM to not agree to or provide suggestion to people to do awful things.
"Most of the newly discovered underwater mountains are on the small side — between roughly 700 and 2,500 meters tall". 2500 meters is small? Even 700 meters is almost as tall as the Burj Dubai. I'd call 2500 meters a decent sized mountain.
Google Play Services is not easy to rip out, and it installs itself as a "better" location service provider for the device, meaning that app requests for location go through it. And it can and does upload "anonymized"[1] data of all these types constantly as part of its normal operations. You can withhold consent to uploading "anonymized" data by paying careful attention to click-through agreements[2] and explicitly turning off "high location accuracy"[3] in your Android settings.

[1] The technical details of how this data are anonymized, nor how it is analyzed and used to "improve products" are not public.

[2] The implications of each click-through agreement are, as usual, non-obvious.

[3] The name of this mechanism keeps changing and it is harder and harder to find and disable.

Great point, this is also true about other states now. I've noticed generally only large multinationals are listing salary ranges online, smaller companies aren't doing that and they resist when you ask. In Colorado and Washington State you are also required supposed to do this now too.
