SBF's parents deeply need investigation here - they are both law proffs at stanford.

THere is not a chance they dont have dirty fingers in his dealings - where are their political donations from the money SBF/Alameda.

I hate how we talk about high level financial crimes (Trump org, Biden Org, Holmes, SBF, etc - and we fail to ever look at their children, parents, siblings, etc in their bubble for similar investment windfalls, or donation channels/ammounts.

@lotsofpulp (I love pulp BTW, grew up with huge orange trees)

The "we" is not just some no-face prosecutor, its everyone - but "proof" that they arent looking into it is, have you ever seen a Pelosi, Biden, Kushner child with massive grift based on their familial insider trading knowledge that was exposed.

Take Kushner as the primary example. So, we know that he received billions (not just from Qatar), we know that his family has a history of real-estate fraud, and everyone just ignores all of this.

This isnt a political comment : its a comment against the financial frauds that are so massive throughout and we do 'surface-level' looking into it.

> It seems someone at The NY Times is very sympathetic to him.

It's more likely (and all but certain) that persons involved with him or his ventures have meaningful influence at the NYT. Sympathy has little meaning in the presence of structural interests.
Did you report this to MZLA or Ubuntu? Or just post this here?

And I have to agree with another commenter: this doesn't sound like an application bug. Something else seems to be at play.

I've found that "devops" is a pretty nice niche to fall into, even with all of its warts. And that means devops as in literally a developer who can also provision/manage infra and operations and not just a YAML jockey who gets a buzzword title. You can kind of pick your lane: dev-experience tooling, build systems, infrastructure automation, observability systems, etc.

It's a nice way to break out of the rat race of bad practices and questionable frameworks being used all over the place and it seems pretty secure because most of the tail-chasing framework types aren't exactly keen to learn the details of what actually takes code from 0 to production-grade so having the breadth of knowledge becomes an asset that lets you work on a variety of problems. Obviously there's a different slew of annoying things to deal with (wrangling cloud services, insane abstraction around infrastructure, etc.) but I think those are more pleasant to work around.

The infra-side of things also hasn't really slowed down in hiring like pure developer positions has.
The same was said 20 years ago about solar power.

Then some countries stepped up the subsidies game and booom, prices fell dramatically since suddenly everybody wanted a piece of the cake. And competition drove this all down.

All you need is for somebody to start. Or we just keep telling ourselves that it's too expensive, shrug, and move on.

Also note how the goal posts changed. Until recently, everybody made fun of fusion by basically saying it's too hard, it's too far in the future. Now it's not too hard anymore, it's just too expensive. What's next? Too loud? Too big? Induces headaches with the esoterically minded?
I disagree with your thesis but the fact that your original reply got flag-murdered bugs me.
I've built something similar close to ten years ago for Generation 6 Pokemon games on the 3DS. At the time that meant soldering to a bunch of test points to send inputs.

Why? Mostly because it was fun and a good learning expereince. I barely used the Pokémon I obtained, but I did use them to build a competitive team.
This has never happened before and we were unprepared! then a paragraph later: red flag warnings were in place and 'a similar outbreak of fires occurred in 2018'.

Talking out of both ends.

That doesn't entirely follow. 2 particles whizzing past each other at relativistic speeds have extreme temperatures but don't offer much energy. Mass is in this equation.

As a (proud?) owner of so many Raspberry Pi I don't know exactly how many I've got (I think seven, I started before they really were a thing).

What'd be the cheaper and better boards, easily available? (I'm in the EU FWIW)

For some stuff I know I'll have to stick with a Pi (for example in the arcade cab I've got a Pi2JAMMA adapter and I don't need that necessarily).

What have you got? Beagleboard? What would you recommend?

(I don't have any special ties to the Pis)
Only one of those is something that foreigners did to the people of the US on its own soil, and that's narrowly what those who are afraid of another 9/11 are willing to give up significant freedoms to escape. Americans feel much less existentially threatened by messes they make in their own backyards and things they do to themselves.

I believe what you're vocalizing is a younger-generation mindset (one that didn't feel the whiplash of 9/10 being a day everyone felt safe in their beds and 9/12 being a day nobody did). That younger mindset is one that I'm only too eager to see become the dominant mindset in American politics.
If he considered starting serving time early a win for himself then he could've chosen not to be bailed. Therefore I don't see how you can call it a win for him if it's not what he wants.

People are free to wear leggings. However, he is also free to shame them.

He’s granting them the “freedom” from shame, and in return they won’t shame him by calling him a creep. If he has to become a creep, he won’t change himself he’ll try to change others by calling them names too.
Autopilot, automation, algorithms, safeties, guarantees, envelopes... Illusions, gone at the first sign of trouble. I easily get used to such technological comforts and it is deeply traumatizing when they're talking away.

Years ago, many decisions to hide error details were a cargo cult reaction to CVE-2012-4929. To review, CVE-2012-4929 works like this:

1. the attacker can see (but not decrypt) the victim's TLS traffic to example.com

2. an attacker-controlled website makes the victim send many different invalid requests to example.com, each of which gets an error message

3. some data in each request is attacker-controlled, but authentication data in headers is filled in by the victim's browser

4. example.com compresses response data before encrypting it

5. because repetitions affect compression, the response size is smallest when the authentication data matches part of the attacker-controlled data

6. after enough requests, the attacker knows the authentication data to login to example.com as the victim

One workaround for CVE-2012-4929 was to set up the server so that an error message never depended on the request data. Before CVE-2012-4929 was announced, people thought it was sufficient to sanitize the error message (i.e., avoid XSS) but CVE-2012-4929 prompted a shift toward producing exactly the same error message for all invalid requests. (Not sure, but I think this was the original motivation for Google's famous "That's an error. That's all we know." messages.)

There were better CVE-2012-4929 defenses later, but the cargo cult had already formed. (Some subset of) a generation of developers believed that customized error messages were Very Bad because they enabled account takeover.
> Cleaning up flying is a mission of improbable scale: Neutralize the carbon emissions of about 25,000 planes in the world’s commercial fleet that typically ferry some 4 billion people a year

Pop quiz: how many people fly each year? Hint: the answer is not 4 Billion.

It is more like 800 million
A few points:

* How effective one may be in defending himself does not change the right in anyway.

* This is why the right extends to all arms of modern warfare. E.g., machine-guns, mortars, grenades, tanks, night vision, etc.

* The Founder were very much against a standing army...we should probably abolish it.

* When combatants are mixed with non-combatants, one cannot just drop a bomb. Because of this, well armed individuals can absolutely resist the military.
Oh wow, awesome use-case. This actually uses my Switch Bluetooth Controller emulation project [0] under the hood for automating the button presses. If you have a RPi on-hand, you can grab a decent USB capture card for around $15 on Ebay or Amazon, last I checked, for a cheap(er) entry point into automation projects like this.

Weird thing about computers, even after a fresh install of your favorite OS, the whole thing is sitting on a mountain of complexity, and that's before you start installing programs, browse the web, etc

Only the die-hard use things like MINIX[0] to do their computing. Correction: MINIX is in the Intel Management Engine so you have /two/ computers.

Solar farms on farmland? That won't scale to the energy needs of 8bn+ people if we still want to keep feeding them. Especially a non-vegetarian diet.
I'm honestly not sure if you're joking but in case you're not, the "minimum viable size" is hardly the largest issue with what you're proposing and it sounds like you're not getting what the key issues are.

You're talking about taking a technology that's so finicky we've barely gotten it to work after almost 100 years and rocketing it into space? We're no where near good enough at this to get a test that would work after the extreme violence of an escape velocity launch.

Further fusion reactors aren't like fission. "exploding" really isn't a problem . Keeping the reaction going in an efficient manner is.

IF exploding was a problem, space is probably the worst place for it? Putting it way underground would be vastly easier and a hell of a lot safer because you won't have material possible falling back to earth/hitting satellites in orbit.
Same way most electricity is made, you use the energy created to heat up water into high pressure steam, high pressure steam turns a turbine(s) which turn gensets that produce 3 phase AC current.

This one in particular isn't setup to do that, and as far as I know, none are yet. It's a pretty simple engineering problem, and, until we can maintain fusion for months at a time, it's not really something that needs to be built.

There is, however, one fusion concept that shows some promise that doesn't require all that that helion energy is developing (helionenergy.com) they're yet to create net-power, but, their idea has some promise, and avoids the common problems with other forms of fusion power. I don't really see it as the be-all to end-all in the space, but from what I can tell they very well might be the stopgap that is needed between large scale stellerators and fission.

I asked this before - but do we know if Voyagers have any protection outside of needing a big transmitter to send commands to them?

These guys[1] hacked a NASA space probe and refired its motors. I read the entire blog once but I can't remember if there was any sort of encryption on the communication, although I know that was brought up. Modern probes do use cryptography, but I doubt Voyager does. I suspect if you fired commands at it you could control it. For the lulz or whatever.

That bawdy tales circulated in the 19th century is something we know not only for Russians, but also from the dozens of peoples who live under Russian occupation. The word-lists compiled by 19th-century European linguists doing fieldwork in the Volga-Kama area or Siberia contain words like “whore”, “dick”, or even “clitoris” and we get some transcriptions of tales where all these words are put to use, revealing that life was not as prim and staid as one might assume.

In fact, due to Soviet-era and post-Soviet censorship where dictionaries compiled for these languages were usually forced to leave out the bad words, it is the 19th-century sources that we rely on for them.

Nope, they were all crazy. Look at the things Ellison was writing and saying back then. And the money she was losing while claiming to be a savant.

Look at the programmer who put in the code that was something like TRADE_IS_ALLOWED = HAS_POSITIVE_BALANCE || TRADER_IS_ALMEDA.

Just because they're pleading out doesn't mean they are/weren't crazy.

Like most bits of code in the article, they are more like a symbol that represents something that "changed everything" rather than code that actually matters.

HSTS is not that important in itself, but it represents the general transition to "all https". Before that, https existed, but it was only used in select cases, like for entering your credit card number, early browsers even had a warning when https was enabled. Nowadays, https is the expected default, browsers are starting the throw a fit when they see plain http, and many tech-savvy users will go "Seriously, http? We are in the 21th century you know". More generally, the need for encryption-by-default also represents how the web is tied to the real world now. People use it to deal with real money, sign contracts, and exchange secrets that have real life consequences if they fall into the wrong hands.

The author picked a bit of code to represent that, and he chose the HSTS header. Debatable, but I think it is a good choice.
All in all though, I don't think that 'never use joins' is a good solution either since it does create more developer work almost every way you slice it.

I think the op's solution of looking more closely at the hot paths and solving for those is a far better solution than re-architecting the application in ways that could, or can, create unintended consequences. People don't consider that enough, at all.

Don't forget that hot path resolution is the antithesis of 'premature optimization'.

> you could mitigate some of that with good management and access patterns

the CTO fired me for making those sorts of suggestions about better management, and then got fired himself a couple months later... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯... even with the macro events, their stock is down 72% since it opened, which doesn't surprise me in the least bit having been on the inside...
Single Table Design is the way forward here. I can highly recommend The DynamoDB Book [0] and anything (talks, blogs, etc) that Rick Houlihan has put out. In previous discussions the author shared a coupon code ("HACKERNEWS") that will take $20-$50 off the cost depending on the package you buy. It worked earlier this year for me when I bought the book. It was very helpful and I referred back to it a number of times. This github repo [1] is also a wealth of information (maintained by the same guy who wrote the book).

As an added data point I don't really like programming books but bought this since the data out there on Single Table Design was sparse or not well organized, it was worth every penny for me.

Yawn. It's classic FSF attitude, and it's a perfect microcosm of GPLv3's goals of preventing things like locked-down hardware in the scope of a software license. In this case, the commenter I replied to thinks it wrong that users of OSM's data product, which has copyleft clauses in the scope of the data only, should be able to sell a closed-source application using that data. Which is of course not the will of the data product creators (the only people that have a real say in this), and is just annoying rms cult dogma cut and paste. For the record, Magic Earth is far and away the best OSM-based non-big-tech mapping product. It absolutely blows away GPLv3 products like OSMAnd. So yeah, it's annoying hearing people clamoring for its source to be opened, or soft-shaming the authors for trying to earn a real living with their great product that's perfectly inline with the data provider's license.
Hi! Thank you for your critique!

> 1) “Your knight has killed a dragon with a crossbow”

We have a proposal for dynamic references to address this problem - https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/issues/80 - it's non-trivial but I hope we'll see it solved in Fluent and/or in MessageFormat 2.

> 2) The parser is extremely sensitive

True. It's on purpose. We wanted to start with strict and loosen, rather than the opposite.

> 3) The input files mandate a weird arrangement of new lines for even the simplest branching

Same as above.

> 4) The documentation is too Spartan to know what happens in edge cases.

We're a small team :)

Thank you for the clarification. I agree that paper and glass are excellent materials in their own right.

When you go back to books from the 60s, they make bold statements about hard plastics would be everlasting materials, immune to rotting, rusting or shattering - and for the most part, they were right! But for some bizarre reason people chose this 'everlasting' material to make disposable items, and once they realised that it was cheaper than materials that actually do degrade the cat was out of the (polyethylene) bag.

I'm hoping that we can rapidly phase out our use of disposable polymers before these polymerphages start chomping through our indestructible wondermaterials like butter. We can keep the hard plastics for truly long-lived things like car bumpers... and try to stop automotive manufactures from making those disposable, too!

Here's an idea to accelerate this:

"Require by law standard glass bottle designs for all drinks of a certain class, like four or five types of wine bottle and likewise for soft drinks and spirits. Ensure that those designs are public domain. Delegate responsibility of defining the standards to an international organisation like ISO to encourage international adoption. The only losers would be a handful of companies with 'distinctive' or 'iconic' branded bottles (and realistically, people aren't going to stop buying Pepsi because it's in the wrong shape bottle), but the winners would be all manner of industrial bottle-washing and reuse firms, bottle-handling machinery makers and of course consumers getting lower prices. End result: widespread reuse of glass bottles, replacing one-use plastic bottles."

What do you think? I think it's pretty uncontroversial, which is the only thing that seems likely to be passed within a premier's term and thus survive the path to the statute books in liberal democracies!
