In the context of 'sudden collapse of Russia' in general? Probably just make sure back channels to whoever has control/custody of Russia's nukes are available. The west's primary goal should be ensuring the safety, security, and non-use of Russia's nuclear (and whatever WMD) arsenal in the event of collapse.

Beyond that, I don't think there's a lot the west can actually do? Attaching western support to any one would probably completely de-legitimize them as an immediate post collapse player.
I understand why runners do this (asphalt is softer than concrete, no sidewalk in a given stretch) but as a cyclist I've had inattentive or aggressive(?) runners force me into traffic lanes by running contra-flow in a bike lane with painted directional arrows. Am not in your running shoes, so I won't judge where you need to run to feels safest, but please be on the lookout!
Seconding this. You can have all the meetings you want, but at the end of the day the core competency of bank management is managing money and not managing IT, and banks suck at managing IT when it isn’t directly in the critical path of cash flow, and even then they get it wrong more often than anyone wants to admit.
Although I agree in general, enforcement is a reasonable band-aid to save lives while waiting for the entire road system to be re-engineered.

The engineering explanation fails to account for the major change from pre- to post- 2020. The road design didn’t change, but clearly driving behavior did. Strong Towns says it’s because roads are less congested now, but I’ve seen plenty of aggressive, reckless driving regardless of congestion level (it seems some people are frustrated by it and act out).

Lol wat. I guess that would be responsive if the e-girls were marketing to men with free meth but in fact that's not what were discussing. Afaict it's "omg booba I my tv, booba in my vida game, booba in the military", and contrary to what some here (hopefully jokingly) assert, not all men operate in such a way.

Which reminds me were just ignoring the true grossness of this marketing given the military's extreme issues with sexual assault.

Right, shouldn't it be GPL? BSD can be used in commercial products.

And even if the licensing of this project holds up as the author intends: If I make an Open Source project based on this, and someone else uses that in a commercial product, it would be 100% legal according to the BSD license.
No they only have to offer source code to users of their software. In order to use their software you have to buy a license. They have been giving it away for years but are not obligated to. When GNU first came out they sold their source code for thousands of dollars and this is the format GPL was written to enforce.
This is baseless fud.
Someone who has been hit by a car twice. That's who thinks like that. I do not step into traffic without carefully looking every direction, to the horizon, for any vehicle that might move in my direction. Should I have to live like this? No. Do I live like this because I want to keep living? Yes.

Somehow the people in this thread have interpreted this observation as a justification that it's okay. Don't know why, really. Is it victim blaming to suggest locking ones' doors? Obviously we shouldn't have any thieves. How dare someone suggest measures that might reduce the ability of malevolent parties to harm you.
We need cameras that enforce actually stopping at stop signs. It would force more people to pay attention.

The sign-up path isn’t clear: When I signed up, it took a day for all the parts of Red Hat’s infrastructure to become aware of me. That delay wasn’t made clear at the time.

It expires every 12 months, and you have to take action to renew it, again with a not-very-clear path. It’s not possible to renew early (at least, I didn’t see how).

It adds extra friction: You don’t get a custom ISO or the like. Instead, you have to register your system during installation. It’s an extra step you don’t have to take.

There’s a subscriber agreement you must agree to, which not everyone wants to do.

"I know how to pump gas" and "my hand smells like gas after I pump gas" are mutually exclusive statements.
When I was in Boy Scouts the stoves were all white gas, similar to gasoline from the gas station but burns a bit cleaner because it's more refined and without any additives. Less generically also called "Coleman fuel." But the stoves will happily burn regular gasoline if you have to.
> Databricks are not on-premises either.

Usually, no. But in some cases, yes.
I was in Canada last week for work and it was shocking how few drivers were distracted by phones. I came to expect cars to drive away when their light turned green rather than waiting for the “wake up, dumbass!” honk from the car one to three cars behind. It was nice and immediately upon return to the US, I saw the red light scrollers back in force.
So all it would take is a couple of separate releases of the SC, and you can diff to see the changes.
The median US person (25 or older) in 2022 didn't have any degree, let alone a university degree, so one would hope that it isn't too difficult to imagine.

Because they're worried they'll miss the boat. Maybe less true in these not-quite-so-booming economic times but not so long ago VCs were literally competing to get in on rounds of funding for hyped up startups. The fact that the hype often never amounted to anything didn't seem to matter, if so-and-so was investing then you wanted to be in on that too or you'll look bad.
Good summary of his accomplishments. I remember reading that even he said he was not happy with the LI-ion battery and was actively working on its successor at UT. I would be curious how far he made it and any results he made with this next-gen solution.

Curious, have you considered the in-between here? Consider medium-density European cities, which still have massively higher density suburbs, but rarely the density -- combined employment and population densities -- of the urban core of most American cities.

I hated living in Seattle, but I'm now an American finding I enjoy living in London. I walk around trees and birds every day, because I have good park access, and I can walk to them without having to worry about car traffic.

For what it's worth, by the way, you almost certainly AREN'T willing to pay for the infrastructure that supports you: Suburbs are almost overwhelmingly economically supported by cities. I hate NotJustBikes (his self-righteous attitude is just awful), but he does have a great video on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nw6qyyrTeI
The rise in traffic deaths coincides with laws passed that allow drivers to kill pedestrians if they feel threatened by them. Both this, and the charged language used by politicians on this topic, will most likely play part in this increase. Social and political backing for your fear usually doesn't help reduce it.
In the sense that it's not been implemented, yeah, its not working.
Have you experienced workload changes that caused an algorithm to be less effective? I am happy to learn about it.
From my experience and study of traces collected in the past, I haven't seen such cases. Of course, there is diurnal changes, and sometimes short abrupt changes (e.g., failover, updating deployment), but I have not seen a case that a workload change that needs a different algorithm, e.g., switch from LRU-friendly to LFU-friendly.

Having an ideal adaptive algorithm is certainly better, and I do observe different workloads favor different algorithms, but all adaptive algorithms have parameters that are not optimal for a portion of workloads and also hard to tune (including ARC).

If you give me an algorithm, I can always find a production workload for you that the algorithm does not work well.

"Simple algorithms are the ones most likely to fail catastrophically because they are made for a certain range of access patterns" I do not see how FIFO and LRU fail catastrophically except on scanning/streaming workloads. Happy to learn about it.
The economics are tied to risk and reward. They capture the realities of nuclear just not being that great as it's advertised to be. So, no. The economics are poor because it really is that bad.

My view is that some portion of should be invested on the off chance that the economics might improve if we do. But we should not bet our entire future on that happening any time soon. Balance risk and reward basically. I would say that's more than fairly covered by current budgets and I see no need to burn much more than that. And what we do there could probably be allocated more wisely. For example building more really expensive reactors seems like a waste of both time and money here. You get more energy for less $ with renewables. Given 5 GW of nuclear or 30 or so of renewables, I'll have some renewables. Easy choice. Also for the people that invest in these sort of things apparently. Nuclear is a hard sell to institutional investors. Basically it can't be done without tax payer money right now. Renewables are very easy to finance; even without subsidies.
I have a Coleman duel fuel camping stove. It can run on gasoline. It has a small reservoir. The screw on cap doubles as a hand pump to pressurize it. Fairly common style for backpacking where size and weight are critical and you don’t want to carry a separate gas cylinder (as a personal preference).

We could use more compromise in our legislatures. The current system of ramming through your party’s agenda before the next election takes away your majority is terrible.
Hi Charlie!

You could be onto something here... what you have enumerated seem to be examples of various forms of "Social Proof" (for lack of a better way of saying/defining it).

It would be interesting, highly interesting, I think, to try and enumerate all of the possible forms of Social Proof.

You've definitely nailed 4 of them -- but are there others? What if we broaden our search outside of the VC world?

Whatever the case, whether we call this "Social Proof", "Trust as it manifests in the world of VC", or some other name/nomenclature -- I think you're definitely onto something here...

It's sort of like what you've said could be the summary/abstract of a Ph.D. paper. That is, I think there's some more knowledge to be gained by exploring this set of ideas further, perhaps in writing, perhaps in blog article, I don't know...

But I do know that you're definitely on to something...

I would love to see more exploration of what you've just said...

There's definitely something there...
How would that work? If it is used by an open source project that is BSD-licensed, and then that one was used in a closed source project, what then?

GPL propagates. Presumably BSD doesn't.

Yeah this is definitely an interesting situation. I remember another state started allowing it a few years ago and there were quite a few issues. I can't blame them though, imagine having never done something before and now you have to start. Probably tricky the first time.

Growing up pumping your own gas for you parents while they run into the gas station store or something makes you forget that not everyone knows it.

The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker
Lot size isn't really the issue, it's having big swathes of land zoned all-residential or all-commercial. We live in a small college town with mostly half- to one-acre lots outside of the downtown core, but we walk and bike everywhere most of the year because it's an actual town laid out before cars, with pockets of not-housing spread out among houses, and no wastelands of giant retail parking lots.

I would really like to get more infill development and smaller lots, personally, but just for the sake of preserving open space. It's easy to walk and bike in actual cities and towns already. Suburbs are the issue, because they are entirely planned around cars.
You don't use floats for money, because it's an integer.
The vast majority of Oregon drivers have pumped their own gas before in other states. I doubt there will be many issues.
There are both, and they have their trade offs. Canister stoves use propane or a propane-butane mix. The stoves tend to be less expensive, and the fuel more expensive. Canister stoves also range in weight from very little to nearly nothing. You'll also find integrated cooking systems with a pot that matches a stove. Those claim higher efficiency at the expense of increased weight.

(Edited to add) Liquid fuel stoves have better cold weather performance, and are popular in mountaineering for that reason. I am not a mountaineer and rarely camp cold enough that I need the cold weather performance. Canisters will do down to 20F/-6C with even minimal care.

Liquid fuel stoves burn a variety of fuels, but white gas is a common one. Pump gas burns a little dirtier than white gas, but the upside of a stove that'll safely burn pump gas is that the fuel is available everywhere. Canisters and white gas often require a camping store, or at least a well-stocked Walmart.

If you're outside of areas with a lot of demand for canister fuel, a stove that burns pump gas is a godsend.

The canister situation has gotten enormously easier with the near-universal adoption of EN 417[1] canisters by manufacturers. Prior to that, there were a lot of incompatible standards.

Yeah I don't see this mentioned nearly often enough in this discussion: gasoline fumes are very toxic and carcinogenic, mainly because of the benzene, which is just terrible for you. It's not a huge deal if you pump your own gas, because it's just a couple minutes of exposure at most a few times a week, but when it's your job and so you're getting hours of exposure many times a week, that's a whole different ballgame. We were forcing people into this actually-very-dangerous but nonetheless minimum wage job for literally no benefit. It was fucked up.

As someone who lives in a pre-car suburb, I don't feel that at all.

Road design goes a long way towards that, and roads that _feel_ safe counter-intuitively make drivers behave in less safe ways, while most drivers (broad generalization) will behave more cautiously when the roads they drive feel unsafe. The fact that your subdivision is statistically likely top have wide roads with plenty of visibility, few (if any) cars parked on the street, and big setbacks means drivers feel more comfortable with going 30+ MPH in a residential zone. On the other hand, my narrow street with cars parked on both sides and only about two feet of clearance on each side tends to make most drivers only go 20-25 MPH (although there's still daredevil scofflaws).

Edit: and the city is improving it -- my street is scheduled to get curb extensions, which should both make it slightly safer for drivers (visibility into intersections will be improved) and for pedestrians (the road will be further narrowed at intersections).
I went out of my way to install CarPlay in our old ICE car and think it adds safety, especially with maps in an unfamiliar area. Trying to read the map on a 3” wide screen in a cup holder or clipped to an air vent is way worse than on a 7” screen mounted in an easily viewable area.

They use a special laser that gives the photons a bit of topspin.
Red Hat are relying on innumerable folks who do the work of certifying that their products work on RHEL, potentially creating lock-in for Red Hat.
I understand the sentiment, but is it these assault vehicles at fault here? I tend to think that the real problem is distracted driving, since EVERYONE from the smallest Kia on the street to the biggest lifted truck seems to have trouble staying off their phones while driving.
> You can’t be more wrong? Snowflake also stores in s3 or elsewhere

Snowflake stores data in S3 in Snowflake's various AWS accounts. Egress fees are necessary when performing anything outside of Snowflake.

Databricks operates on data stored in your S3 on your AWS account(s). Databricks also runs on your compute contained within your AWS account(s).

Both approaches have valid use cases.
The key thing here is it allows for very high bandwidth to go almost anywhere on earth, not just spots where it's easy to land a cable. Starlink's already demonstrated how great that is for consumer bandwidth (50Mbps); a multi-gigabit link terminated at a satellite is fantastic.

The part that impresses me most is they're talking about LEO satellites. Those move fast! Starlink does this with a very impressive phased array antenna design. Conceptually tracking a moving satellite with a laser is as easy as rotating a mirror, not sure how hard it is in practice.
Exactly. Should be GPL licensed, and commercial projects can always buy commercial licenses.

> But that said, as far as I know, one guy used the term "freeloaders" and the context wasn't clear at all who he was talking about, and certainly not clear whether that is one person's opinion.

Yeah, Red Hat wasn't the one that called them "freeloaders", this was language The Register used in an article:

>> Having given the move time to successfully eliminate most of the clones, Red Hat then killed off its own official free version of its paid-for flagship product. Instead, it switched to offering a free test version, an announcement which it made accompanied with lots of positive-sounding language about community involvement, and so on. In fact, what it was really doing was cutting off those that might be seen, from its perspective, as a bunch of freeloaders. The move was accompanied with free production deployment of RHEL for developers – but only up to 16 machines.

I’ll add that, my guess, the reason people don’t use white gas as much is because the stoves are more difficult to use. You have to pump them, go through a warmup stage, and keep them level. I don’t know the exact terminology for the parts, I just know the process, since I always used a white gas stove.
Yeah, it's important to make a distinction between the "user" and the device owner. Often those are the same person but not always. Treating the user as an adversary can be okay in some circumstances, but treating the device owner as an adversary is never acceptable in my opinion.
> imagine having never done something before

Oh jeez. Most people in Oregon live in Portland, across the river from Washington, and have pumped their own gas many times.

I'm sure the media will find some confused elderly people to put on the evening news, though.
As true as that is, I'd be happy just with attention being paid to sidewalks and protected bike paths. I live in an area with a grocery store that is well within biking distance. But it is on the other side of a four lane road and there's no safe way to get a bike across it. In other parts of the state, there are housing developments within walking distance of grocery stores, but no sidewalks.

It isn't uncommon to see people get in their car to go to the mail kiosk 2 blocks away, in part because of the lack of sidewalks.
