Interesting, it affirms his timeline in the Google doc that he was improving up to April 2023.

I can't rationalize how any of the symptoms he described, and having undergone many medical tests which were not described as indicating any end-organ dysfunction, would result in to organ failure which I've never heard of happening "out of the blue".

I fully respect his family's right to privacy and of course don't expect a full disclosure. The physician in me is very interested in learning more about what happened in either his or another case. From a medical perspective this is a very shocking turn of events that has not yet been described to my knowledge.
What is the benefit to me of someone else having a humanities degree? I see the benefit to me of someone else being trained as an engineer, so I am happy to support that with my taxes. What is it that humanities majors learn that can't be learned for free, or maybe a few buck on Amazon? I took those classes and I'm not seeing it. They were taught on such a low level compared to STEM classes that it was a joke.
How about its unenforceable self-aggrandizing nonsense about how everything is a derivative work as long as two files were ever in the same room together? Sounds like the easiest way to get the code to the nuclear football--just trick them into touching a GPL file.

Just because a contract says something is a derivative work doesn't mean that it is legally. I see GPL bros as vexatious children armed with lawyers. Like Oracle.

What is it if the information is freely available, to anyone asking, for a single domain they are trying to post at that time?

It’s not secret, because they’ll be provided an answer if they email the mod team.

It’s not free as in open source, because it isn’t available for anyone to download and study in full.

So, since it’s not secret, is it public, or private? Since it’s not published in full but any query of LIMIT 1 is answered, is that open, closed, or other?

Restrictions to publication don’t necessarily equate to secrecy, but the best I’ve got is “available upon request”, which isn’t quite right either. Suggestions welcome.

>Why did the English intellectuals want to avoid criticizing Stalin

The book was published in 1945, perhaps it was to do with the fact that USSR was an ally at the time?

UPD. From Wikipedia:

>Orwell wrote the book between November 1943 and February 1944, when the United Kingdom was in its wartime alliance with the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany, and the British intelligentsia held Stalin in high esteem, a phenomenon Orwell hated.
I suppose parent is mainly thinking of issues grouped under the term "culture wars". Another, more urgent issue, is indicated by this quote in TFA:

And throughout five years of war, during two or three of which we were fighting for national survival, countless books, pamphlets and articles advocating a compromise peace have been published without interference. More, they have been published without exciting much disapproval. So long as the prestige of the USSR is not involved, the principle of free speech has been reasonably well upheld.

All of the big three (AWS, Azure, GCP) have comically bad IPv6 support and comically bad security advice on IPv6 and private networking in their documentation.

Kubernetes is comically bad at IPv6. Docker is comically bad at IPv6.

GitHub is comically bad at IPv6.

Like I said, pricing IPv4 at all, is at least a start, a baby step in the right direction. Even if it is a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the cloud invoice, it is still at least a line item that corporate accountants are going to notice. It is now an obvious cost to cut. Maybe that will put pressure on fixing how comically bad the above offenders (and more) are actually supporting IPv6, because corporate accountants may start asking hard questions.
Interesting how a crowd of people who rest their faith on "settled science" and "solid consensus" and "proven clinical trials" and "peer-reviewed research" start to pass rumors, exaggerations, and fake news about something that isn't even an ICD-10.

Federal statute says the following:

> In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

> 1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

> 2. the nature of the copyrighted work;

> 3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

> 4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

So, everything in the article is relevant to 1, 2, and 4. In fact, besides element 3, to me this usage strongly matches each of these criterion. Fair use is interpretable, though, so the outcome of the case if it goes to trial will be dependent on the judge.
To end someone's life is a personal decision.

If you agree with that, fine. However a doctor told me once that depression is a deadly disease. It is deadly because a depressed person can decide to commit suicide, but it is the depression that is talking. We should help depressed people and find a way to treat depression.

So if I were depressive and would think about committing suicide, I would try to get treatment first if I am able at all me being in the depths of depression.

For others this is a difficult line to thread for a bystander. If asked I would tell: Yes you are free to commit suicide but I suggest to treat mental problems like depression first.

Increasing cost of attacks is effective against good faith people, not spammers.

Even Cory Doctorow made this case in "Como is Infosec" [1].

The only problem with Cory's argument is, he points people to the SC Principles [2]. The SCP contain exceptions for not notifying about "spam, phishing or malware." But anything can be considered spam, and transparency-with-exceptions has always been platforms' position. They've always argued they can secretly remove content when it amounts to "spam." Nobody has challenged them on that point. The reality is, platforms that use secretive moderation lend themselves to spammers.

The best thing about animal farm is that it tells you that it doesn't matter what someone tells you they want to do, once they have power, they are likely be corrupted by it.

Therefore one should trust no system that depends on a few people being trustworthy, the system itself should have self defense mechanisms and limits both in scope and in time, for wielding power.

Communism or at least the soviet flavor failed completely on this last count, and I'm generally not aware of how to make it work without significant centralized power. Social democracies seem to have a nice balance but in online discussion it's like people are either Milton Friedman or Marx apologists and nobody in the middle.

Is the upper limit due to hawking radiation?
As the other commenter said, there are bulbs that mimic the filament of an incandescent bulb. On top of that there are designs that go beyond that. E.g. I have a bulb that has LEDs shine light through sculpted plexiglass, creating a beautiful pattern of warm light inside the bulb. This goes beyond what an incandescent bulb can do.
Sure, but I distinguished between an absolute right ("no one is arguing for that") vs. a more limited right that various places already have.

When you wrote "that you should have that right", were you referring to the absolute right? Or the limited right that I said already exist in places?

I thought you referring to the former, as that's the part you quoted. However, you gave an example of a more limited right, so isn't actually a counter-example.

What I was thinking about was how various countries have "attempt to let people live where they've settled and put down roots" as a matter of national policy.

Take Norway, https://www.regjeringen.no/en/dokumenter/the-tenancy-act/id2... "Termination by the landlord of a tenancy agreement valid for an unspecified period" shows the small number of reasons a landlord can kick someone out. Otherwise you have the indefinite right to live there.

Speaking of death, it even lists succession rights on the death of a tenant "If the tenant of a dwelling dies, the following persons are entitled to succeed to the tenancy".

The US also has places with similar laws, like rent controlled apartments in New York City which, I read at https://rentguidelinesboard.cityofnewyork.us/resources/faqs/... , also includes the right to inherit.

I personally think these leaseholder examples, which unlike CA Prop 13 run counter to the interests of the landowner, make them a clearer example of supporting the "right to live where you were born in perpetuity".

So far it has saved me some time on my work, but I don't think promoting will be any relevant in the near future. People can and will build models that follow the same mode of thought.

Ask HN: WebSocket server transforming channel subscriptions to gRPC streams
Hello! I'd like to ask your opinion about the idea of a WebSocket server which can handle WebSocket connections, can manage channel subscriptions and transform them to GRPC streams to a custom backend server.

Let's say we have a system with 3 participants like this:

Client (browser, mobile device, etc.) —> WebSocket server (the subject to implement here) —> Backend server (any custom server in any language with good GRPC support).

Then the mechanics is as follows:

* Client establishes WebSocket connection with WebSocket server

* Client can optionally subscribe to channels. Subscriptions to channels are multiplexed over a single WebSocket connection.

* Upon receiving WebSocket connection (or subscription to channel) server can open unidirectional or bidirectional stream with the configured backend which implements GRPC service.

* Backend may stream data to connections or to channel subscriptions over established GRPC streams. Data from GRPC streams will be transformed to WebSocket messages and delivered to clients with minimal latency.

* Additionally, client can stream data to the backend server (if bidirectional GRPC streams are used). I.e. client sends WebSocket messages, those will be transformed to GRPC messages by WebSocket server and delivered to the application backend.

As a result we have a system which allows to quickly create individual streams by using strict GRPC contract but terminating connections over WebSocket transport. So it works well in web browsers. After that no need to write WebSocket protocol, client implementation, handle WebSocket connection. This all will be solved by a suggested WebSocket server and its client SDKs.

The mechanics is similar to Websocketd (https://github.com/joewalnes/websocketd), but instead of creating OS processes we create GRPC streams. The difference from grpc-web (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web) is that we provide streaming capabilities but not exposing GRPC contract to the client - just allowing to stream any data as payload (both binary and text) with some wrappers from our client SDKs side for managing subscriptions. I.e. it's not native GRPC streams on the client side - we expose just Connection/Subscription object to stream in both directions. GRPC streams used only for communication between WebSocket server and backend. To mention - grpc-web does not support all kinds of streaming now (https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web#streaming-support) while proposed solution can. This all should provide a cross-platform way to quickly write streaming apps due to client SDKs and language-agnostic nature of GRPC.

I personally see both pros and cons in this scheme (without concentrating on both too much here to keep the question short). I spent some time thinking about this myself, already have some working prototypes – but turned out need more opinions before moving forward with the idea and releasing this, kinda lost in doubts.

My main question - whether this seems interesting for someone here? Do you find this useful and see practical value?
But not at sunset.
The mission statement you quoted is incredibly clear. Very often both commercial and open source projects announced here on hacker news have completely impenetrable descriptions or mission statements. That is not the case here. I literally could not improve on it without quoting it directly.

What is unclear about the portion you quoted?

I don't agree at all that "people" are okay with this. If I, like many others, had a choice, we certainly would not want people, for example, to work so many overtime hours that no sane person could reasonably justify.

But what to do? You will say, vote! Or, protest! But have you ever seen a government visibly reduce administrative bloat, unreasonable government spending, coddling public servants? Because I have not seen it, either here in the United States or in the country where I come from. This is not a "things will never change" statement, but the impact that "people" can have on the way government works is very limited, if not negligible. The older I get, the more I realize that "elites" live in and govern a world in which I participate as a mere spectator.

Despite the existence of people like this, it's generally not a good stance to consider those who disagree with you as lacking introspection. It's just a crutch to further validate your beliefs without any effort.

How much more developed would your thoughts be if you pretend that every opinion you encounter was thought through, and included as much life experiences and research as your own opinions do?
>Except for helium, no other gas exists which does not have some form narcotic effect at higher pressures.

According to something mentioned in passing in a Scott Manley (amateur space youtuber) video about deep-sea diving: at high enough pressures you'll get similar effects from helium. It's thought that you can avoid this by subbing out the helium for hydrogen, but nobody so far has been insane enough to try.

I assume liquid breading is much easier at that point.

>The interesting thing about this research is that it sort of makes sense, and yet is very surprising. We’re basically continuously narked, we’re just so used to it we don’t even know.

That's how Rust editions work too. You can have a Rust 2021 crate depend on a Rust 2015 crate which depends on a Rust 2018 crate, it will all be compiled by the latest compiler even though they are written in slightly different languages (different syntax and in some cases different desugaring)

So that's how Rust can make language changes without splitting the ecosystem and without requiring everyone to migrate all at once
