Thanks for all the questions!

We're headquartered in Europe, you'll find the legal in our terms :) https://www.koyeb.com/docs/legal/terms

There is a difference between edge and non-edge locations (we call them core): edge locations terminate the TLS connection, do caching, and route traffic to the nearest core location. We explained how this works in this post [1] and this talk [2].
The TLDR is: If this core location is set up to run an instance of your service, it will send it to the right machine in the location. Otherwise, it's going to be routed to the core location where an instance is running.

Data storage can be tied to a location as you're deciding where you're application is running: if you ask us to run an application in Frankfurt, Germany we're not going to move it to the US nor to any other location.

The build engine is tied to GitHub but you can deploy a pre-built Docker container. GitLab has been highly demanded [3], so this is definitely on the list of things we're considering implementing.

Databases should land on the platform in September in early access [4], we're actively working on it.

Right because in the US, no state official would punish a private company - say an amusement park - for speaking out against a law that it passed to keep teachers from admitting gay people exist - because we aren’t China.
> The words are "well regulated" and they don't mean what you think they mean. In 18th century American English, the phrase "well regulated" means well equipped.

Can you provide some sources or references for this assertion?
He tried to.
I'd say that those are not actually the minimum. You don't need to detect undefined behavior, you just need to "make it implementation defined", so integers could just wrap around without needing to check for overflow, unitialized memory would just be random bytes, and so on. At least that would be one way to do it. Of course the checks would ensure the program shuts down more cleanly.
You can get night lights in warm color temps, I found some 1700-2200k night lights by searching for a specific color temp along with ‘night light’. Here’s an example from GE: https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-LED-Brushed-Nickel-Amber-Glow...

I also found this cool Legrand wiring device that fits in a single-gang box that has a photocell built in (auto-on and auto-off depending on light levels) and 1800k color temp: https://www.legrand.us/wiring-devices/outlets-and-receptacle...

I would guess that if you went to Target or Walmart, all the options are going to be 3000k-5000k, which is far too blue for night light use.
What you said is equivalent to "they are more effective at making themselves useless". I can't disagree with you, but I think Americans deserve a useful and competent government.
TIL .pl is for Poland. The misuse of .io is probably more common.
Oh very nice. I’m vaguely aware of some of the interesting servers they used to have but mostly via the GNU stuff. apple-gunkies, etc.
Advice I got from some one in real estate is buy the house, not the rate. Rates change over time, one can probably refinance in the future.
>Why can't we do this for a jet?

Well, because the software load of an aircraft is certified as part of the approved type design, for one. If you update the software it requires an engineering approval, because the risks inherent to operating an aircraft and the engineering that goes into mitigating those risks and making them acceptably safe are quite a bit more significant than a washing machine.

What's more we're talking about stores clearance (i.e. releasing shit from the aircraft in flight).

The attitude behind "Just write that function and flash the firmware" gets people killed.
Nice to see your name pop up. Cheers to you, Jay!
> Doesn't this mean a misconfiguration of the Tor browser?

Not necessarily. It'd just mean that someone figured out a novel way to coax some bit of data from the browser that hadn't been considered or adequately accounted for.

> One or two metrics may not be enough entropy to have confidence in an identity, though certainty you're right that it is of concern.

It'd be less worrying if TOR users were more common, but since so few people use TOR at all, and fewer still will use it for any given site/service it means that what would be a low confidence metric for normal traffic might be all you need to track a TOR user.

> I heard that Canvas Fingerprint randomizers actually decrease anonymity for the average user...You aren't being identified by only your canvas fingerprint.

Canvas randomizations are likely to increase uniqueness which is different from increasing the ability to be tracked. If it's implemented in a way that makes it detectable and/or predictable it could increase the likelihood of being trackable depending on the situation. Canvas randomization is useful, just less useful for easily identifiable browsers which document that they do it since it can just be ignored in those cases.

> I'm just asking what your alternative is.

I think it'd be a robust system where many values were randomized in ways that were logical and consistent. For example, a user agent that implies a certain OS would expose a randomized set of values typical to that OS (fonts, drivers, add-ons, GPU, etc) and randomizations would be appropriate (even customizable) by context (session, window, tab, domain, request) so a website making multiple calls to a function would see consistent results while another (unrelated) website would see you as someone else entirely.

This way you'd always appear as a new unique visitor and if someone comes up with some clever trick to expose some new bit of data you'd still be indistinguishable from every other unique visitor with that bit of data. The vast majority of users on the internet are basically always showing up as "randomized" on first visit. It'd mean you could visit the same website 4 days in a row, but each time you'd just show up as someone new who stopped by, browsed around a bit maybe, and then never came back.

The devil's in the details though I guess.
>in society’s eyes

That’s all that really matters for many people.
I guess that its not clear to me what structural difficulties women would face if they want to be a chess GM.

I acknowledge this may be due to a lack of sensitivity or insight on my part.

So given this statement:

> excessively male-dominated for systemic reasons

I am asking: what are those systemic reasons.
I can't change the target by the same amount because the lowest I can set the machine I currently have is 30%. Except 30% on that is 70%+ in actuality. So that means it will turn on for 75-80%. That's way too high. If it let me turn it to 0% or 5% then that would be fine.
HN did that and I did not catch it. I usually catch it when the system changes what I paste in.
What's the clock speed of the DDR5?
Yet again another page that doesn't bother to explain what this has to do with the Radio Corporation of America, or what "RCA" might otherwise stand for. RCA's greatest disaster was Selectavision, but that's not on the list, and Wikipedia's disambiguation page doesn't have anything with anything relevant for what "RCA" might mean in relation to the things on this page. Explain yourselves, folks!
No they can't, as this study shows. The problem is that calcium is bonding to the oxalates. Normally your body will pass them through excretion, but it appears that oxalates in high quantities should be avoided altogether, as they just seem to collect in the kidney. Skip the oxalates and just take the calcium. One is essential and the other is the opposite.
My knowledge on this is limited, and US-specific, but I'd imagine the situation in Europe is similar... In the US, publicly traded companies are subject to a lot of laws that private companies aren't subject to, most notably being required to make periodic public disclosures about finances and (to a more limited extent) business plans. Making false statements on these required disclosures is a crime, even if not intentional. The majority stakeholder might've done the math and realized that it's cheaper to buy out the other shareholders than it is to continue making those disclosures and risking criminal prosecution.
I don't think the problem is technological growth itself - the amount of humans on earth and the way incentives are misaligned in a way that wastes large parts of total "effort"/resources are much larger problems IMO.

A society where there was a system that reliable aligned incentives between (eg.) consumers and producers might already reduce resource consumption by an order of magnitude, and would remove most of the "arms race" mentality in risky developments like AI.

Whether we can create such a system in time is a big question though...

(as an aside, while neither socialism or capitalism do anything significant to solve this problem in their current forms, I don't expect either to be incompatible with such an alignment system)
We’re a terrible choice for avoiding natural disasters. There is a 75% chance of the Alpine Fault between The Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian Plate rupturing in the next 50 years and they tend to be earthquakes of magnitude 8+.

On average it ruptures every 291 years (+/- 23), and the last one was in 1717.

Fascism is when I can’t make rules about how other people spend their money. Hilarious when people associate capitalism with a movement founded by none other than Benito Mussolini. If you read the fascist manifesto and the Green Party platform back to back you’d think they came from the same book.
I think this map can mislead you to think that but if you look at the graphs from the reference they quote, there's not much in the last billion years or so that's close to Chicxulub, a known extinction-causing impact. It's a real outlier and it's reasonable to assume much smaller impacts did not cause mass extinctions by themselves. I've fished graphs out here and marked Chicxulub in the first one:

This is an interesting point that stood out for me.

> Rachael Brooks, a dam safety engineer for Seattle City Light, moved 50 miles north of Seattle during the pandemic when the cost of living in the city got so high that renting became unaffordable. Her job takes her all to hydroelectric dams across the region and is “really variable—we can’t just say, ‘this is what my day to day looks like,'” Brooks said. But she and her coworkers are still required to show up to an office in downtown Seattle on a regular “hybrid” schedule—a requirement Brooks has managed to navigate by crashing with friends in Seattle two nights a week.

So Bruce Harrell is apparently keen on reverting the work from home policy for city workers, which was enacted during the pandemic, for no obvious reason. Why he doesn’t want to pay workers (other than cops) seems more obvious to me.

Another point I found interesting:

> Meanwhile, weekly negotiating sessions continue—as do plans for a rally of city workers on the steps of City Hall at 3:30pm on September 19. Employees are being asked to take leave to attend the rally, but a future strike isn’t out of the question.

This follow the Amazon walkout this spring (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36038992) which was not nearly as destructive to participants as many predicted (included many here on HN). I wonder if we are going to be seeing more of those walkouts going forward as an alternative (or rather a preamble) to strikes.
Oh I’m well aware of that, I think you may have missed my point: ivermectin was banned in many countries due to political reasons. Many doctors reported good outcomes when using it for Covid. We now know that the places that Ivermectin worked best for Covid were places where parasitic infections are more common.

So although it wasn’t approved for Covid, it helped reduce harm because it allowed people to fight Covid without fighting a parasite simultaneously. But since it was ‘not known to have antiviral activity’ and trump said it worked well, it was banned.

It’s a disgrace that authorities have punished doctors who did the right thing and have now been vindicated. It is absurd to have to wait for an authority to approve something you have good evidence will help your patients.

This is why people have lost faith in health institutions. They make terrible decisions like this and then have the audacity to pontificate to the population.
I don’t think the people running the show in Niger have the capability or know how to pull off an underwater cable shear that looks like a landslide. I bet even most developed countries wouldn’t be able to do it flawlessly.
That's a good point - there is no such thing as a tape-only data storage system - you'll need RAM, flash, and HDDs to help ingest large quantities of data so that tape drives can have data ready to write.
Examples given are so underwhelming it actually kills my enthusiasm for robotics.

Post comparible results to Boston Dynamics or you’re old news.
Fair enough. Incidentally, I've invested in https://www.goleafside.com/ for exactly that reason. I don't know whether it will make a large difference in the long run but this is the sort of way that I can help leverage the capital I have access to in order to achieve a larger effect. It's been quite successful but it probably did not in and of itself convince many people to switch to a plant based diet, even if there are many good reasons for doing so.

So I do agree individuals can make a difference and should try to do what they can. But I just simply think it won't be enough and that is a real pity.

You can visit Brazil, you'll see most young women with 18-year old bodies and 50-year old faces. I think the article has no clue why it is so as their proposed reasons can't be applied on Brazil.
> The younger and dumber you behave the more respected you are

I do believe we value youth more but I thinks it’s mostly about looks and to a lesser extent personality and future prospects. Who have like, mortgages and stuff.

Young people can be more malleable to change and can be more effective adapting to institutional change compared to us more seasoned curmudgeons.

This is an ugly comment. What sin did you commit for your deity to curse you with such a rotten mind?
Hold on though, because the correlation between “human arrival” and “megafauna extinction” is extremely high. The timeline of megafaunal extinctions goes: Africa, then Eurasia, then Australia, then North America, and finally South America. No points for guessing the order that humans colonized those continents.

In the few historical examples of human introduction to a new ecosystem (New Zealand and Madagascar) within a few hundred years of arrival we’d eaten every animal bigger than a cat.

A great term along these lines that I recently stumbled across: extinction debt.[1]
"In ecology, extinction debt is the future extinction of species due to events in the past. The phrases dead clade walking and survival without recovery express the same idea."

Time will tell but I think you're discounting the amount of amateur that will join the gold rush with a dream an angel and just enough knowledge to run a customized alpaca-lora job, looking for gpus while an outsider controls the runway.

I disagree with your whole comment.

You’re painting humans with a pretty broad brush and it’s the kind of thing religions were designed for. Force people into thinking the One True Way that they have to do something to find meaning, when meaning really comes from within.

Why would anybody listen to someone else on this? (the irony is not lost on me here). We get one life and it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves the “right” way to spend it.
Once prices start coming down, I think we will see a dramatic increase in EV sales. They are better in just about every way and all we need is the price to come down to make them the obvious choice.
The difference here is that for the first time ever we are causing ecological damage on a _global_, rather than local scale.

If you cut down a few trees to build a house then 50 years later the forest will reclaim the land. If you instead cut down the entire forest then that can't happen.

>We have been using nonrenewable resources for hundreds (tens of thousands?) of years, and yet we keep finding more.

Multiple civilisations in the past have collapsed at least in part due to resource shortages. Again though, because none of these civilisations were _global_ the collapse was local and could be recovered from using outside resources.
The before and after war photos of soldier where they are physically 3-5 years older but look like they have lived through at least an extra decade really drives this home.
While I'm enough of an asshole to maliciously comply and copy-paste most of the article, I can't be bothered to do that. So here's two paragraphs.

[Google] added that it did not have the ability to control data collection on a brand’s website after a YouTube viewer clicked on an ad. Such data-gathering, Google said, could happen when clicking on an ad on any website.

Even so, ad industry veterans said they had found it difficult to prevent their clients’ YouTube ads from appearing on children’s videos, according to recent Times interviews with 10 senior employees at ad agencies and related companies. And they argued that YouTube’s ad placement had put prominent consumer brands at risk of compromising children’s privacy.

The argument was already put forth that Alphabet can't control what's on the advertisers' sites. But for a company that loves hoovering up data they seem to have picked an interesting blind spot that their algorithms "can't" fine-tune for. And they of course always have the choice to not run ads for websites that deposit a deluge of trackers, but that would mean revenue down, big sad.

And your rebuttal is.... a downvote. How erudite.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Much of the time the roads were so bad that the Corps had to dismount and push their wheels along railroad tracks.

Among other issues, the condition of the roads made bicycling untenable. Even with fat tires, this seems like a big obstacle. This is why tracked vehicles were invented. If they could guarantee relatively flat roads with good drainage going all the way to the front, this seems like something that could work, but if you could do that then I guess you'd probably just take them in a bus.

I think you're looking at this completely the wrong way.

This is like saying you'll only pay your brain surgeon for four hours work because that is as long as the operation you require will take. But that four hour operation is built on a lifetime of training and skill.

The value that you provide the customer is the metric from which you should be deriving your billing. If someone else provides an equally effective solution but takes an order of magnitude more time to deliver it, then you are just that much more efficient.

SSL stripping would cause the sites to not display an encrypted connection, definitely. But what really puzzles me is the redirection. I'm thinking it has to do with the routes being tampered with. Yes, I'll need to check more with WS.
I think I understand what you're saying. Pre-statement anxiety may be preferable to mid-statement anxiety though?

And I think the intent is not to absolve responsibility, but to specifically acknowledge it. But it depends on how authentic it feels, which may be a problem if we're building trust.

There's a difference between saying "I have something to say, but I don’t know how you’ll take it." and "I have something to say, but I don’t want you to be upset." ... where the first one is letting you know of potential trouble ahead, and the second one is demanding you react in a certain way.
With Racket:

* I really enjoy using numeric towers and it is upsetting to me every time I go to another language where I can't just work with rationals as a default.

* Having statistics functions, a GUI library, and a plot library all part of the standard distribution is wonderful. Dependencies are kept to a minimum, which I appreciate. Everything feels coherent and not over-engineered.

* Poking around in the large standard library was straight forward and not difficult. I added candlesticks [1] to the plot library without understanding much of the plot library's design or implementation details. I think this would have been much more involved in many other languages.

Where I perceive Java as nicer than Racket:

* I wish Racket had real threads like Java. Having futures and places for actual concurrency / parallelism is not as nice.

* I wish Racket had the rich data structures built in as Java has. You need to reach for an external library for a sorted data structure; this is not ideal.

* Java's performance is great and its future is promising. Java already has some great GCs including low pause time GCs, Project Valhalla will add value objects to Java, and Project Loom will enhance the concurrency functionality offered in Java.

I don't have much JavaFX experience, but my perception is that it would be fine and just as "cumbersome" as Racket's GUI and plot libraries.

$5B (2023: $4.7B) is actually the current yearly run rate for SLS+Orion+EGS. Thus, $5B is what the marginal launch cost would be if SLS was launching yearly, excluding $54B to-date costs of the three. Even NASA's official projections (which are always optimistic) don't show yearly launches, but if unreasonably optimistic numbers still make the point, why quibble over the details?
I might be missing something. But I was thinking so that I could test a chain, rather than just a single prompt.
