Disclaimer: I'm not a distributed systems expert by any stretch of the imagination. Just picked up an interest in the subject some time ago. So, the things I'm about to say may sound silly.

Do the cars participating in the system broadcast/multicast messages to each other? If so, logical clocks like Lamport clocks or vector clocks can be of great use. Logical clocks help capture the order of events in a distributed system (sending or receiving a message is one kind of event, but not the only).

To give an example, let's say we have cars A, B, and C, they broadcast messages with Lamport timestamps. B broadcasts (lts: 33, msg: y), A broadcasts (lts: 18, msg: x). No matter in what order C receives the two messages, it knows A could not have sent "x" in response to "y", as 18 < 33. However, the converse isn't true -- i.e., 18 < 33 doesn't imply B sent "y" in response to "x", the two messages could've been broadcasted concurrently.

If you do want to be able to tell if one event might've caused another based on their logical timestamps, a vector clock is a great choice.

All that said, if this isn't as much about cars broadcasting messages to each other, as it's about cars sending messages to the server, pure logical clocks are not a tool meant for this job. This scenario calls for real-time ordering -- i.e., an imaginary omnipotent observer who could assigns a timestamp based on their own watch to each message could solve this. In the unfortunate absence of such an observer, the approaches to deal with this I'm aware of are:

- A central timestamp server. While this comes with all the obvious downsides, it's also a relatively simple and straightforward solution.

- Keeping the drift as small as possible and establishing an upper bound on it. Then waiting out the uncertainty interval before acquiring a timestamp. Basically, something akin to what Spanner is doing with their atomic clocks. A caveat here is if the cars are competing for offers with these messages, they might not be exactly happy with this strategy.

- Similar to the previous point, but without atomic clocks? Maybe you can adapt some ideas from CockroachDB[^1]?

- Using hybrid logical/physical clocks might be an option[^2][^3]

Also a good read thanks!
We have too many cows, but the answer isn't going vegan. Five hundred years ago the ecosystem supported 30-60 million bison in the U.S. Today we have over 90 million cows. Eating less meat and grazing less cows would restore balance to the ecosystem.
I'd expect developing countries to massive increase emissions first as they capitalize. Reason why PRC uses more concrete in 3 years than US uses in last 100 apart from PRC being massive is because US/west emissions from capital/construction (30% of total) is spread out over time. All the developing countries are going to be pouring tons of concrete as they grow. Some emissions can be mitigated from production end but a lot of the dirtier stuff is unavoidable.
It's crazy that a lot of this crap is just associates hiring paper throwers that just keep this shit going. Responding to the cases just raises a blip somewhere and it's passed onto another yet higher-level paper shuffler. But in the end, the courts just keep awarding because Shifferd-Melnap-Hamilton (fake name), a well trusted legal firm, always wins therefore should continue winning.
"The culture of food actually changes very rapidly; fast food and espresso cafes has found much expansion overseas, and fundamentally changed diets, driving up obesity and other major health issues."

Yea, because people like those things (fast food and espresso).

Getting people to do less of something they really like? (Eat meat) Not likely, no matter how great your vegan slop tastes.
There has not been a liberal push away from encryption.

In fact, it is the fascist right that want to remove privacy, has passed laws (like PATRIOT) to do so, and the supporters simply say “if you don’t want to be spied on, then what are you hiding”

The right wing are the ones actively pushing this along with “if you think privacy is a right, then you are a predator. Won’t someone think of the children?!”

When it comes to software, it’s even less sensical to have one archival correct answer, given that software evolves over time, and what was an acceptable or necessary workaround 5-10 years ago could be a complete anti pattern today.

It would more sense to establish lineage. Lock older questions from more answers after some point in time, and instead of closing and linking to original, do it the other way. Keep new questions open and link to past variations. Then in the old threads indicate newer guidance may exist and link forward.
That may have been the intent (which I seriously doubt) but in practice it means teachers cannot even mention their same sex partners or even that gay/trans people exist because that could be considered “sex ex” by a parent who doesn’t want their children to know gay people exist (and for the record it is not sex ed)

Hence the use of the phrase “don’t say gay”
Isn't that basically conspiracy theory logic? ie. "This thing is totally true! Evidence? That doesn't exist because The Powers That Be are suppressing it!"

So the US spends, what, $10 million (more?) to train each military pilot, and then after retirement, with their pension and thanks of a grateful nation evidently being insufficient compensation, it’s OK for one of them to decide to moonlight for the country’s main adversary to their their pilots how to shoot down US pilots (“tangentially”)?

If and when the fact pattern above is found to exist in a court of law, I sure hope the US makes an example of that.

Want to learn Windows, Linux, cloud whatever? Just build a cheap home lab and play to your heart's content. Because really, training is not how you get good. Nor is certification. It's the hands on experience that comes from running into the crap the vendor doesn't want to tell you.

There is further information from de Raadt on impact and mitigations [1]. Hearing that the microcode fixes from AMD does not cover all CPUs that are likely to be vulnerable is not great. Reading “[W]e are setting DE_CFG bit 9 on all the models that we think have the bug” is comforting and exactly what I would expect from the OpenBSD developers, as it follows what happened back around Heartbleed and it is one of the workarounds mentioned by the Zenbleed security researchers [2].

That’s a reasonable point. I don’t envy folks in your situation having to deal with that. From what I understand, the tax situation sounds pretty ridiculous.

Still, it somewhat boggles my mind that one could be patriotic enough to volunteer for military service yet ascribe sufficient sentimental value at least to keep the citizenship.
I used a similar system while doing training before, really neat as people could guarantee more or less that all the development environment was the same across different computers even with BYOD (bring your own device) and people would focus on the training content instead of lose time configuring their PCs. I can see its applications on education.

The most annoying thing in their setup (which may differ from this one) was that some shortcuts would be captured by the browser, so I closed the whole thing multiple times with Ctrl + W while relying on muscle memory.

This doesn't counter the stereotype much, if you take two dumb/lazy kids and stick one in a middle class household offering the necessities, then take the other and stick them in a 1% household that can afford tutors and private schools and supporting year-round extracurriculars, who's going to do better?

Both households can try to "push hard" but what the rich household can do for a child is a strict superset of what the middle class one can.
No one, not my mother, not my government, not my dog, has the implicit right to monitor a conversation between myself and another party

No one has the right to dictate the manner in which I communicate with another individual, contending that it doesn't cause network problems (such as the FCC and radio band restrictions. And to the point, I believe the ban of cryptographic communication on public radio channels to be unlawful and unethical)

I knew absolutely no privacy during most of my childhood. Many times I did not even have a door to my room. Every single bit of privacy I did attain was an act of defiance. Even owning an email address was against the rules of my household, but if I hadn't protected my right to do so and to conceal the act of doing so, I wouldn't be here today as an engineer discussing the merits of privacy on the internet with you.

God forbid what an entire organization of narcissists and control freaks can accomplish when given legal blessing.

As an aside, you might find it interesting that cryptography was actually classified as munitions in the United States at one point, so the analogy does have merit.

No. Death to the sarcasm mark.
There are about 1,000 billionaires in the US. If they emit a thousand times more CO2 than an average person they would equal a million people. There are about 334 million non-billionaires in the US. Not enough billionaires to realistically skew these numbers.

Why do you think this in some way interferes with physics? Philosophical views could inform natural sciences but they don’t invalidate them.

Non-materialist philosophy is very compatible with physics. The problem is people who start talking physics as philosophy/religion and believe that metaphors in current physical models (electrons flying, strings vibrating, fields permeating) are not metaphors but actual final objective reality, thinking that natural sciences make existential statements.

Your point about ordering and readability really rang true for me. My way around this in Python is to separate the map and the reduce: do the map in one part with a list comprehension and the reduce in a second part on a new line.

I’ll wrap the whole thing in a named function as a way of describing what I’m doing and make it a closure if it’s used only once:

def f(bar):
def smallest_baz():
bazs = (
some_op(b)
for b in bar.baz()
if some_filter(b)
)
return min(bazs)

return smallest_baz().foo()
Good but is this relevant to the point? Are 6 years not enough for DNS propagation?
Isn’t it only the logo that’s trademarked, rather than the name “X”? I am not an expert on trademarks by all means, how likely is it that Meta would actually have a case here?
I'm a bit doubtful that it (assuming there is an "it") takes more than 1.5 years? 18 months is 30% of five years. A process that takes X amount of time can't really take Y >> X amount of time to get going.

>we are still lagging on the expected heating due to occur due to increased thermal insulation from CO2 released into the troposhere five years ago

I thought it's being widely reported - this year - that we seem ahead of the warming trend, breaking all sorts of records, etc.

As is mentioned in almost every article about climate change ad nauseum, global temperature increases measured in degrees are small but involve huge amounts of energy, and typically there is said to be a linkage to massive disruptions and suffering.

So saying this temporary source of warming is very small and unnoticeable seems rather equivocal. You can say it, but what is it meant to communicate?

Small and unnoticeable on your thermometer is literally true of the primary trend from CO2, but if you go around belaboring that, you sound like a denier.
> a bank website refusing to be accessed unless the entire OS & browser stack pass attestation

Even that use case leads to bad outcomes. I already have to jump through hoops to get banking apps to run on my rooted phone. Banking websites refusing to run on anything but Chrome on Windows is a likely scenario here, and that's awful.
> (donna was woke before woke was a thing)

Donna Haraway was born 6 years after “stay woke” in its sense as an admonition to maintain alertness to the racist context was coined. Leaving aside a debate over whether her work is a good match for “woke”, she very much cannot have been woke before woke was a thing. (Before its recent replacement of “politically correct” as the American Right’s preferred, meaning-stripped, label for everything it disagrees with, sure, but “woke” was a thing long before that.)
This sounds like a good use case for local llm models. Browser plugin, precooked prompts for different levels of detail, maybe a lora to give the model some idea of expected output. I bet some of the 13b models could do a useful job on this even if they were imperfect.
You might also find this paper interesting. To be fair, so far I only had a chance to give it a very superficial look.

Me too. We sold a lot of dedicated fiber to banks in the early 2000s because they feared the packet switched nature of ATM. They thought packets would randomly end up at competitors.

I don't know if they ever realized even dedicated fiber links were software switched by that time so it was easy to misclick and send an entire fiber stream to their competitor too :)
Visual symbols could be anything from written words to police uniforms. It's not oversimplifying— it's flat-out wrong. It would be like reading

Expressions representing numbers may be combined with an expression representing a primitive procedure (such as + or *) to form a compound expression that represents the application of the procedure to those numbers.

And an English professor haughtily responding, "you know what that means? 'Computers compute!' This SICP book is just a pile of jargon that could be dramatically simplified!"

His dismissal revealed nothing about the topic, but a whole lot about how so many in the "hard" sciences view others. Don't understand the text? It's the text's fault! For I am a real scientist, and if I don't understand it, it's not understandable!

He might have been a genius, but he should have stuck to subatomic particles and left exploring human behavior up to the people who'd done the prerequisite reading.
I think that's (grade 3 -> 9yo) an ok age to start talking about sexuality. Lots of age appropriate topics there. Not sure why this is such a big deal.

The tl;dr is that the victim was Australian and the court proceedings were heard in the US. Unless they're put before a court in Australia she's under no obligation to pay. Knowing a bit about Australian society it would not go down well if they tried.

I would've used the money she spent on a US IP lawyer to sue Medibank for negligently allowing her personal information to be hacked and sold on the dark web. At the very least I hope she's part of the class action.
"Identity Theft" shouldn't even be a thing. Someone falsifies documents and takes out a loan or something that should not have been approved. That's bank fraud and should be an issue entirely between the fraudster and the lender/bank.

Somehow banks have re-named it from "bank fraud" to "identity theft," deftly shifting responsibility onto some unrelated third party, who now has to deal with it. "Your identity was stolen! That makes you the victim. Now go help fix it!"

Banks should not be able to shift the blame. They did a crappy job and lent money or opened an account for someone they shouldn't have. They are the ones who should bear the burden of mopping up their mistake.
Interesting how US emissions started falling around/post GFC when residential construction collapsed and have yet to recover. Us new house starts around ~60% of mid 2000s high, while piling on 40m to population. I wonder how much that contributed. I think 2/3 of US building stock is SFHs while construction accounts for than 1/3 of emissions and I think there's 6-7 million units of housing shortage from last decade of underbuilding.
I don't know how else one can have anything useful to say about how software systems evolve. One can question the methodology used, especially given that the source data was sketchy (they are counting entities from code in some editions, and manual pages in others), but at least we get some insights into how Unix evolved.

What would be interesting would be to compare these results with those from a similar system of similar age. IBM's IMS system (1966—) comes to mind. Again, not a perfect match (IMS was and is developed by IBM, while Unix is the result of work at many sites). Unfortunately, since IMS is proprietary, I imagine there would be difficulties in gathering data.

Some places have them. I took an elective class at university which focused on open source philosophy & licenses. Read and discussed a bunch of papers written by the guys involved in the early open source movement. Stopped short of code review though: which would have been a nice addition.

A very very good paper, and one that was clearly a passion project for the prof.
Most companies are actively trying to exchange capex for opex though - even if it's way more expensive over the lifetime of the equipment or service.

HBOMax<>Max is an excellent addition.

That said, I think all of these give too much credit to the Twitter<>X transition. It wasn't because Elon thought about Twitter and conjured 'X'. It's a reuse of something old he had. Seems like there was 0 Twitter specific related thoughts.

You think he wasted his co-investors (including Saudis themselves) about $20 billion and took on a $13 billion dollar loan himself, and was forced to sell billions in Tesla stock, to get a "payout". Like how large a "payout" that has to be for any of this to make a lick of sense?

There's no payout. There's no conspiracy. Just a man and his arrogance and mental issues.

It has to do with the precision of the values stored in those rows and columns. If they could be coerced into a narrower range (without losing information) then we could effectively store them each with 8 bits or something. The +1 prevents blowups when the denominator in its current form approaches 0, and without those blowups, then we can use less bits, in theory.
