The problem is a tiny percentage gets any attention whatsoever. It's the same with police and doctoral abuse. These things are hugely prevalent with 30-80% of professionals engaging in some form of abuse... same with fraud.

People know about police abuse. We don't talk about doctor abuse. I'm honestly not confident that there's any police/doctors that don't engage in abusive practices (or it's a tiny percentage of the population).

What are the rights of the T-mobile customer in the USA, if they somehow do mess up an automatic bill payment?

I'm searching using the European/international term for this sort of payment ("direct debit usa") which gives me API documentation from many American payment providers, but nothing about the customer's rights. I assume it's the technical term there, and there's another term used with the public.

(In Britain and the EU this kind of bill-paying agreement has very strong rights for the payer, they can ask their bank to reverse any transaction for a long time without giving a reason. My online banking interfaces have easy buttons to do this, or to block future transfers.)
I understand the intent, but this article seems to be arguing for an Emperor's New Clothes scenario where no one can identify the value of something except for a vanishingly small number of people.

It's some economic variant of the tree falling in the forest analogy: if a service has quality but no one can recognize it does it have value?

It strikes me as a recipe for regulatory capture and overcredentialing.

Value ultimately lies in the purchaser, not the producer.

Maybe it depends on the market but this seemed to be arguing for something dangerous to me.

UUIDs can serve different purposes. As others have mentioned, database performance on inserts might trump the need for difficult to guess UUIDs.

In other cases, the UUID needs to be as random as possible.

It really depends on the use case.

This is just not how real politics work. This is the result of bad politics of power players with a lack of understanding. Putin himself even said he might be thinking about joining NATO some day. That is was due to a weakening NATO is an analysis completely detached from reality. This ignores what happened in Ukraine in the last few decades. It is a simple explanation, but most importantly a completely wrong one.

There is a reason why the relation today is much worse than it was 30 years ago.
> Imagine putting the Russian flag for the Ukrainian language for an idea of how Chinese people feel about this topic.

Or rather, how Ukraine's would feel, doesn't it make more sense that way around?

> You've made a political choice by using the Taiwan flag in the first place so don't blame others for "bringing politics into it" just because you don't have understanding on the subject.

There's a country called Taiwan, it has a flag, it's flag was put next to the name of the country. Where's the politics?
They don't have remote attached storage, it's all local on the node, lvm based volumes. The data persistence is 24hr or manually created lvm snapshots that are exported to s3.

It's really not a place to run persistent workloads. If you run postgres there, you need to be prepared to either hot load your data into a new instance, or restore from backups.
Only way back, when the US had the "Great Depression" and millions of starving people as well.

And in the USSRs case, it was from an ecomony that had just had gotten into large scale industrial production, after having been way behind under the Czars, and after a major war, a revolution, and several years of civil war.

If anything, they did better than expected. Even more so given that they had an inexperienced government, external pressure from unfriendly western countries, and had to prepare for future wars that were already breeding (and luckily the did it just in time for WWII).

It’s very worrying that in the US criticism of the government is now being actively censored and suppressed.

Is it true that US whistleblowers should consider getting to Berlin before leaking their information as German laws on speech would help protect them? For example wouldn’t Assange and Snowden have been much better off if they had?

You perfectly illustrated why credit cards are better for customers. There is fraud protection, which you don't have with other payment methods.

Bank transfers and other direct methods are only an advantage for the seller and gives no advantage to the customer. That's why businesses that don't accept credit cards lose customers.

> You can't do that with credit cards.

Yes, you can. Stripe has same-day payouts, as do many more.
I'm not sure the ISO standard specifies a flag though.
I have to tell you, between those three things one of them is not like the other. But I'll be enjoying Barbie and Oppenheimer this weekend instead of getting into the typical nationalistic pissing contests that Americans usually start, and non-Americans can't help but get into a frenzy debating.
Honestly they also seemed to have gotten really unlucky with their last tsar. Makes you wonder how things would have played out if they got someone exceptionally good instead of Nicholas II.

Ours is network connected. But then it is a model than runs Amazon Fire TV natively, and nothing else from the TV set OEM. Wouldn't make much sense to not connect the TV, and connect the plugged in Fire TV stick... That being said, despite being rather happy with it (mostly, the storage runs full way too often for my taste), I'd rather have simply a dumb display.

That's my point.

You think there is no politics between China and Taiwan?
If you are a GI waiting in a tropical hell-hole (their words, not mine) for an invasion, the nuclear bomb did in fact seem like divine intercession.

Got it to load the landing page at least (although the generation thing itself doesn't work), and it links to the following paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09793 (On the Origin of LLMs: An Evolutionary Tree and Graph for 15,821 Large Language Models)

> We take advantage of the relatively systematic nomenclature of Hugging Face LLMs to perform hierarchical clustering and identify communities amongst LLMs using n-grams and term frequency-inverse document frequency. Our methods successfully identify families of LLMs and accurately cluster LLMs into meaningful subgroups. We present a public web application to navigate and explore Constellation, our atlas of 15,821 LLMs. Constellation rapidly generates a variety of visualizations, namely dendrograms, graphs, word clouds, and scatter plots.
I am affraid it is worse: those people actually want all those things, the bad effects are not part of the risks coming with fascism, they are part of the promise. Sad indeed...
I have no idea how to put it in words and I am far from bashing it, I like it, admire it.. but.. it seems vaguely divergent styles, stil what it bugs me after seeing lots of these images, it seems "boring" (again i don't know how to phrase it).. if i see an image in the wild i can guess it is generated by midjourney.
I see lots of people saying they avoid microwaving plastics. We do as well in my household and are all in glass. However, the microwave covers to prevent food splattering is plastic now I think of it. What do you all use to cover your food?
So firstly - been an Anytype beta user for a while here, and it's great to see the launch! And how far Anytype has come on recently - a previous frustration admittedly was that the app and data sync could feel quite sluggish at times, and the latest release is way snappier and feels more stable! Excited to see how the project develops.

I did want to echo some of the points already raised regarding licensing.. From the outset, when I heard of the Anytype project some time ago, the whole thing that got me excited about it, and why I've been following it so attentively for so long, was the promise of an "open source, privacy-first, p2p, Notion alternative". While I'm sure we can all respect the licensing model you've settled on from a commercial perspective, and being source-available with select open source components is far more welcome over a fully closed model, it clearly does not make the project as a whole open source. While that's quite disappointing, it's positive to see you're acknowledging this and tweaking how you present the open source nature of the project to accurately reflect!

I did just want to ask however if you might have considered a licensing model similar to a project like Sentry? They also fully open source select components under permissive licences (MIT/Apache), but for key commercial elements they instead adopt the Business Source Licence (https://open.sentry.io/licensing/). This is very similar to the terms of your "Any Source Available License" in allowing personal use but restricting commercial use, with the very key caveat that it only enforces these restrictions for a period of 36 months, after which point the licence for those elements reverts to Apache 2.0.

Such a restriction would in theory protect commercial interests in a similar manner (only code from more than 36 months ago, or whatever delay preferred, is fully open sourced), but make the project far more open in spirit, and critically allay concerns Anytype will otherwise attract as a non open source project. For example - what happens if Anytype go closed in future once people are already bought in / if the organisation or development ceases at some point / if some decision was to be made in future which compromises user privacy or security, etc! A key element of open source is that trust doesn't just come from saying "trust me, honest!", but also from the licensing model - if the project disappears or is somehow compromised, it can be forked. Such a licence would allow this (with a delay!)

Might you have considered such a license, and if so would be curious your thoughts on why that isn't your preferred approach?
yeah, I'd assume as much. If it indeed falls back to a by-value comparison it would be slower, but should work.
I don't agree. If I create a repo where a country list and their corresponding flags are needed for the application, I'll grab that from somewhere (maybe Wikipedia, or another repo?). If someone else comes in and says "hey that's not a country", that's where the politics is, not in my need for a country list.
I love DO for projects where I don't need control. For my side project, I eventually migrated to AWS after running into a lot of issues with DO.

Things like they don't give you the postgres root user on their managed postgres. And I ran into issues trying to capture the deployments in code. Their terraform providers are pretty good, but still leave something to be desired. For all its many warts, I'm much happier back on AWS. It did end up more expensive, but it's worth it for the fine grained control in my case.

But I spent the last 5 years as a DevOps/SRE, so... uh... I'm picky.

I did some experiments with shaders to stroke bezier curves many years ago, and iirc, the easiest (reasonably efficient) route I found if you have a cubic spline is to fit a quadratic spline to it first, then just transform and solve it as distance to a parabola.
Digital watches are still cool, they just lost relevance because we have clocks everywhere, so having one is mostly redundant.

But otherwise, what's not to like? A simple, cheap, precise, extremely reliable tool that does one job, and does it excellently well. Even a cheap one has a much superior precision to the best mechanical watches ever made.

The modern digital watch is pretty much perfect. If you go for something that's not the cheapest model, you can get one that will run on solar power and sync by radio, making it essentially work perfectly forever without maintenance or adjustment.
There are standards, but every major smart home tech company wants to be the controller, not a slave. Generally you find that, for each brand of device, you have an in-home controller that controls that brand of device over a proprietary protocol, and a proprietary cloud that the controller talks to for app control. Most clouds allow integration with Alexa and Google assistant for voice control, and many clouds will also allow you to control devices of other brands that might have integrated with them.

ZWave and Zigbee devices are currently the most vendor neutral but you have to really love smart home to stand up HomeAssistant or whatever and maintain it. And zwave in particular has lots of small but annoying compatibility issues and is difficult to troubleshoot and to keep a complex setup running.

I thought threads/matter was going to be great but it looks like latter just took a whole pile of standards and mashed them together and rebranded them. I dunno for sure; I tried to install the matter SDK on a raspberry pi and it was north of a gig download and difficult to figure out.
Sure, I'm vaguely aware of it. I just don't think the developer should be forced to care in a PR.
I feel like I would just replace all of it than play cat and mouse. Surely it would be cheaper in time, and low cost until you figure out you have to replace the whole sink.
They were not first.

ISAM and VSAM come to mind. Yes it says "files" in there a lot but it got used like a database with programming interfaces like finding records in a database. If you will this method is more like NoSQL databases than a relational DB. The I in ISAM was a step towards not having to know the key (true "NoSQL"). Kind of like today's NoSQL databases all also give the ability to add indexes now.

The GP shouldn't be generalizing across Europe with that statement. It's somewhere between completely wrong, half wrong and correct depending which of the 50 European countries are included.
That was my exact reaction too. There’s a reason python and other “slow” languages are dominating. Very few industries require that kind speed, and even fewer require it at the cost of simplifying code or architecture.
My guess is that people imagine that the high energy particle beam transforms the helium and nitrogen used to cool the magnets in radioactive gases that may be dangerous.

But the beam never colides with the gas deposits. The helium and nitrogen are used to cool the magnets that are used to bend the beam that travels inside a vacuum tube.

[And even if the beam colides with the gas deposits, I don't expect too much radioactive waste. Each particle in the beam has a lot of energy, but there are very few. This links https://public-archive.web.cern.ch/en/lhc/Facts-en.html says "trillions" ( 10^12 ?) of protons, but a glass of water has like 10^26 protons. A nuclear power plant has much more radioactive material and during normal operation produce much more collisions that can turn container radioactive.]

I just got gigabit bidirectional fiber at home and honestly if I were doing personal stuff or doing very early bootstrapping I'd just host from here with a good UPS. No it wouldn't be data center reliability but it'd work at least until it was ready to put in something more resilient.

You can pay for a business class fiber link too. It's about twice as expensive but they have guaranteed outage response times which is really what you pay for.
This is kind of like those software engineers who end up great technical managers and eventually directors or above. There is a very valuable skill involved that is not necessarily the same skill that makes a good IC.

Holy hell, there are some hostile comments here!

I've had service issues on Fly that I've escalated to support in the past, and given my experience it feels highly unlikely that they tried sweep this under the rug or somesuch.

At the time we had deployed a small business workload (few 100$/mo in billings) and paid for their $29 support plan, so grain of salt there. We faced service issues and, while the service reliability did eventually push us to migrate, support was top-notch the whole way through. Support was happy to escalate as needed to try to help get a solution, with MrKurt eventually joining in and helping identify root causes. During the entire episode everyone was realistic about where issues could be (i.e., were open to the possibility of it being a Fly issue). As people from Fly have noted, they've historically been quite open about when they weren't the best choice.

Again, while service reliability has been an issue (and Fly has admitted this in the past and is working on it), I think the assumption of badfaith in this thread is pretty unprofessional. It's also a lesson in how hesitant people are to pay for support. $29 for access to a human is not a bad deal; we certainly got good value out of it.

Another way to look at it is that the dating asymmetry comes from risk asymmetry. The big risks are pregnancy, violence, and slut-shaming, and those fall far more on females than males.

- Pregnancy is a solved problem in humane technological societies.

- Violence by men against women could be ameliorated significantly by teaching boys better and prosecuting sex crime better.

- Slut-shaming is just jealous recidivist authoritarianism.

Knuckle-dragging conservatives on power trips are the issue.

Your average redpilled incel would get more of the sex they desperately crave, if they (and society at large) stopped making sexual friendliness such an unappealing strategy for women.

That said, to suggest that it's feminists' duty to give men more pussy is a rebarbative position to find yourself in, so... maybe time to rethink?

At the very least, have the honesty to weigh the negative of not getting your ding-a-ling wet against the negative of possibly being dumped in a ditch with bruises on your neck.
They both lack semi colons and parens around conditionals, but in terms of syntax its near identical to Jai.
They may not owe anyone anything but over time these types of issues can cause a large reputation hit.

If I was just searching online or trying to find out what various communities think about Fly.io and see several threads about major outages with poor communications, do you think I will use their services? It would be an immediate pass.

It takes a long time to build a reputation, and you can lose it instantly.
I disagree, if you drink water that tastes like plastic from your drink bottle, you intuition will probably tell you drinking it isn't healthy. You avoid drinking the water until you have evidence to support your intuition.

Is something wrong here? Was something bad done? I would see a problem if I blindly trusted it.

Personally, I was told for a long time to ignore my intuition and it actually got me into trouble quite a few times, I take a more balanced attitude towards it now.
This is just my personal opinion, but the mechanism that creates particles and black holes is the same. Meaning without throwing incredible mass at it, you won’t make a black hole. You can’t. You’ll make a particle or break apart one. Which is in fact what happens. There are also many natural events that resemble what the LHC does, at even greater energies and much greater mass, and yet no black holes. A black hole is dangerous because it’s a planet worth of mass in compact singularity. If it has no such mass it can’t do anything.
