I find it odd we haven’t embraced the modular spaceship and EOR approach.

Think of a Falcon 9 second stage but instead of payload, it had more tank, more fuel, a docking ring and a set of RCS thrusters. It gets to orbit, finds its ”passenger”, docks to it and pushes it into whatever trajectory it wants to go.

Add a truss with multiple docking rings to your payload and you can add multiple tugs to give a larger payload a bigger kick.

Even packing a few kick stages on top of F9s or F9 heavies would enable some interesting missions - as both trajectory can be higher energy and payload doesn’t need to be trimmed to the minimum viable mass.
I've read "Die With Zero" by Bill Perkins recently.

I think Perkins would say in that case that there's a time for everything. At 20-25, it's maybe a good idea to hitchhike to Alaska. At 45, married, with children and a mortgage, it's probably a bad idea.
Zero tolerance laws have nothing to do with risk. 0.08 is a risk but 0.001 BAC doesn’t have a detectable influence on behavior. Yet 7 states set have zero tolerance at literally 0.000. The definition of negligence isn’t changed by these groups, they are going to arbitrarily decease thresholds and increase penalties over time because that’s why they exist.

Nobody advocates for drunk drivers as a group so there’s no equilibrium reached, just ever harsher penalties and lower limits. I don’t drink, but it’s obvious that using literally 0 as your threshold will pointlessly waste money going after edge cases unrelated to drinking.
What's your plan to achieve that? Consulting?
Australian 80's hacker here .. Between Computer Age, TANDY Electronics, and Dick Smith Electronics shops, a budding early-80's hacker could get access to a lot of technology to sharpen their teeth. I had many great times getting kicked out of TANDY only to cross the street to DSE and continue my hacking .. ;)
Yes we're next to each other, but if the person has his headphones on I don't want to disturb him so I write first a message.
I'm not sure how you interepreted my comment as being rude towards some group of people, I was merely describing why things are the way they are.

Here's a longer description:

KYC and AML costs are fixed. I.e. identifying someone is a one time cost (if done virtually, around 5-25 USD, more if done in person).

AML costs are ongoing, but can be automated to a great degree to save on costs. Usually this is done via various heuristic and statistical methods. These work great for the customer types you have a lot of, but for those you have less of you have less training data and your models will cause more alerts than necessary. Alerts that need to be looked at manually.

Most of these occur from rich people doing stupid shit, but you also get the same happening on the other end of the spectrum. Poor people usually are very creative with their money, and this causes them to hit AML checks. (Think crypto, remittances, romance scam victims and the like).

Rich people aren't a problem, they have so much money in the bank that their compliance costs are offset by the profit the bank earns on them.

The average customer usually isn't a problem either, there's a lot of them so a few being unprofitable doesn't really matter.

But low income people will incurr more AML and KYC costs that the bank can't offset --> these customers aren't profitable and the bank will do as much as they legally can to annoy them until they leave.

This phenomena is called de-risking (it happens to companies, too) and is hugely damaging and is a side-effect of the increasing AML and KYC regulations (Which are shit).

AML / KYC regulations desperately need exceptions for people who aren't moving a lot of money. And, conversly, those who DO move a lot of money need to be put under stricter regulations. A) Because it is financially possible and B) they're the guys who do the really damaging money laundering.

The majority of carceral environments in the US that are openly in violation of the 8th a. in degrees of not good to third-world, inhumane depravity. (The one where a prisoner died of bug infestation and had a nonfunctional toilet.) The most obvious ones are those with the most deaths and substandard medical care.

The problem is the prevailing US attitude of incarceration as punitive, divine retribution rather than rehabilitation and reintegration.
You usually have to fill in a bunch of unnecessary mandatory fields before you can do anything, and by default you have to follow the workflows that have been set up by someone with more permissions than you. In particular that means that if you ever accidentally drag a card to the wrong column or something (very easy to do with the incredibly slow UI) you can't undo it and probably have to remake the ticket from scratch. Also it nudges you towards using the ticket ID rather than any actual descriptive name everywhere, so everything you do accumulates this extra layer of indirection.
When in doubt, put the word "online" in front of it, that way your bologna seems more palatable.

Personally, I think if you're going to rail against an "online ideology" it should be the hackernews ideology, where people come together online and agree that software is interesting.
Most reasonably smart people can have careers without resorting to petty crime.

Stopping tax breaks for highly skilled professionals is not a good move IMHO. This is how you attract international companies that cannot strictly rely on the local work pool to operate. Also, is the number of such professionals that high that they distort the local economy?

On the other hand, reneging on the flat 10% on foreign pensions sounds like a good move. Pensioners looking for their place in the sun can be numerous and can really distort the house market and even the fabric of the society in small towns, while not adding anything to the production output of the country.

But still, both look like populist measures aimed at quashing protest. Still no talk about the elephant in the room, that is AirBnB.
Does it? I never saw such a thing in my browsing.
Interesting idea. Well done and good luck with it.

IMHO, the use case for async audio notes is not entertainment
"podcast". People listen in a passive and linear way.

But the use case is team planning and note taking for on-the-go and
hybrid WFH teams.

Add some ability to "call-in", listen and add comments and you've got
something like an audio Kanban board.

Also add voice2text to dump a threaded transcript.
AIs are already acting in the physical world: Any AI (e.g., ChatGPT) changes the configuration of the human brain of those who use it.

Sure, it's a rather philosophical argument currently, but this will change.

If I would be a malicious actor, I'd create a chat bot that sneaks in responses that are in favor of my agenda. In that I'll make my users the puppets of the AI.
It's odd to me how office people are totally fine wrangling with this mess, but are terrified of programming. This looks way more confusing, magic and brittle to me.
> That you think you can sit around and produce nothing while everyone else around you produces everything you need.

Yet that's exactly what the "leisure class" do. Inherit enough money and that's your life. Why is that not equally hilarious? Why do only some of us get to have that and it's OK?
That sounds reasonable. I share concerns about government regulations and control over AI, just as much as the implications of AI itself.
This is precisly the issue, there are no exemptions to AML and KYC regulations for those not moving a lot of money around.
I'm currently doing it right now (living abroad, working for a startup). I worked back home for a year and a half after college,but once covid cleared up I immediately started applying abroad. Its a great opportunity because not only can one still develop their career, they get to deep dive a new culture and every day feels like a vacation!

For me, I actually think it was not too hard (I think it greatly depends on where you move, your appetite for challenge and how much traveling you've done before). The process was confusing and long, but nothing a couple of trips to a consulate and a lot of reading couldn't help with.

I was lucky enough to have some friends that live in the country I moved to (albeit quite far away). I felt the hardest part was the first 3 months, it was lonely and some days I was bedridden with homesickness. But then the magic happens. You meet new people, you find your footing, you make lifelong memories.

After that life just feels like normal life but turbo charged by all the new experiences.

The new hard part is deciding if I want to come back or not, I'm having the time of my life out here!

Why would it get thrown out?
The main problem is surely that everything about modern life that Pratchett tangentially referred to was inevitably the victim of his mockery of how absurd it was - so were an ad for instant soup to appear halfway through the adventures of Rincewind, Sam Vines or (my personal favourite) Lord Vetinari, it would surely be interpreted by any half-clued-in reader as an object of ridicule...
The merchants never pay, you do: prices all increase by exactly 3%. You think employees accept a 3% salary decrease because suddenly all clients pay by cash ? Absolutely not: prices will increase to cover the risk of this happening, and neuter the cost of the payment processor: it's one more cost, and you are the one paying. The merchant RECEIVES your money. He will not OFFER anything to you or the payment processor just for the sake of it.

I hate this argument that "someone will start business"

No. If people will struggle with getting food then they will adjust and get cards despite not liking it. Nobody will open business for them.

For me this is some kind of free markets naivety
Sounds contrived.
American, Liberian, and Burmese.

Can’t leave out our fellow beacons of freedom!
As a fellow Slovenian who's also worked with Americans, the last part is both hilarious and real. It's just such a weirdly large cultural difference in general behaviour that's hard to explain. I would personally find it near impossible to adapt to that always-fake-cheerful attitude that's common on the west coast.
Everywhere should accept cash, and every place should also (try) to support tap to pay.

I’ll gladly pay an extra 5% for a donut if it means I don’t have go to an ATM, withdraw the minimum, and forget the change in my car anyway.
No one reads Origin of Species either. I’ll bet that there’s a 100 to 1 ratio of people who have heard of Darwin’s book versus those who have read it. Same goes for many important (or at least influential) books. Mein Kampf, Das Capital and Newton’s Principia are a few more that come to mind.
I love Ayn Rand, but not for the weird cult thing it grew into.

To me, it is the story of someone trying to create cool stuff and the world making that hard (felt like a celebration of human creativity). She is brutalistic in her messaging but it is an interesting story. I weirdly like her writing style, its like someone pounding a hammer against my skull. Haven't read her books in 10+ years but in my teens and twenties, I found them thought provoking and inspiring.
I recently realized the value of Traefik, been avoiding learning about it for years because I'm a skeptic about new stuff.

But the first thing that struck me was "ok, cool auto-discovery", and then "wait, it needs access to all my containers?".

Maybe I'm from the old school but we used to separate services into their own service users so that if one service falls it can't take others with it as easy.

Now we just accept that all services are under the same user because we use containerization. Well I'm still separating them so I really can't take advantage of the amazing auto-discovery.
Why is this not just default behaviour?

If I don't have IPv4 connectivity, yet a 6-to-4 gateway exists and I have IPv6 connectivity, and some app tries to use IPv4, then clearly the gateway should be used.

How about some sysfs config option that says "redirect ipv4 to 6to4 gateway if no default ipv4 route exists", enabled by default.
Within the creative industry in Japan Nissin's sponsorships are pretty common and well respected.

For example steamboy, one of th most expensive anime productions, relied on it. So the placement in ff is if anything a mark of quality.

Furthermore Nissin has a pretty strong brand in Japan. Their museum is a pretty popular local visit destination. Their souvenir cup noodles are a common sight at regular family homes.

Japan sort of never lost the soap opera style product sponsorship. Thanks to the production committee style of funding anime the sponsorships serve as key early money. Aka, that specific product placement is itself an artistic expression.
Very very hard to get a number on this.

From experience I can say that it reduces crime, but it does create massive issues too.

Problems are current regulations aren't risk based, which results unproportional compliance costs.
I'm 100% the opposite. Define everything ipv4, turn off ipv6 and have one set of private ip addresses, one set of firewall rules and NAT at the firewall/router.
Yep, that'd be the solution. The issue comes with the fact that these regulations are based on the "guidelines" set by FATF - which is a political organization and they make really idiotic decisions.

To some extent I believe the larger financial institutions lobby for these regulations in order for them to not have to serve low income customers.

While the idea and ideal are nice, it often does not work out that way in practice. Lots and lots of unhappy marriages and divorces.
It is one code base with multiple servers in it. It is a 5x Go + 2x Quasar. Mostly two Go servers are actively developed while the remaining three are quite static with sporadic changes. The UI servers are in active development with hotreload.
As somebody with only second-hand exposure to Twitter, it feels like they're actively driving it to irrelevance. All I hear for a year now is that they turn off interfaces that enabled people to integrate with them.

Just last week a customer called because the Twitter embed on their site didn't work anymore. When we said we'd investigate, they said not to bother and just replace it with a link.
Depends on the perspective. The predicate will always be an IRI. The object will either be an IRI or a literal, and all literals in RDF (as of RDF 1.1) are typed , though serialization formats like Turtle work with implied types.

There is also the option of blank nodes for objects, though in almost all implementations they are stand-ins for anonymous IRIs, so in some sense or another almost anything has "a" type.
Sometimes it’s a job, with deadlines and budgets, with creative controls on top, with complicated IP licensing and cascading effects of depicting something on canon.

We always see the best when there is no compromise. When you have the time to dedicate to something you want seen, and the passion and the energy to see through it from concept to premiere, you can achieve the sublime.
Hey Max & Thibault, interesting approach. It seems like you're going for after a specific feature and (unintentionally?) pulling in some product areas that are very hard businesses. I believe youre reusing existing saas and framework tools to make your effort more effective, but may be asking your customers to adopt new dependencies as well.

I think your core offering is around status tracking and stakeholder notification. However you're also pulling in Monitoring/APM by running your own status checks, for example. I would expect any paying customer to already have monitoring and alerting of some type; New Relic, DataDog, Amazon Cloudwatch Synthetics, etc. Wouldnt your customers want to use their own existing metrics for SLOs, or existing alarms & alerts for incident detection? Similarly it seems like youre implementing alerting/engagement as well. Are you asking your customers to reimplement their PagerDuty/OpsGenie/VictorOps configuration? There's a lot of organisational inertia around business processes that define alerting & engagement. I haven't looked at userbase numbers in a long time but I would guess the vast majority of your target customers are using one of those three already.

If I was to guess initial adoption would be aided by "ease of use", particularly integration with the customers existing tools & process. Then differentiation and value is based on what those existing monitoring/alerting tools cant do, eg alternative data sources (APM vs RUM), automated/predefined response, approval processes, customized visibility & communication per client, etc.

Idk even in the face of geopolitical conflicts I don't think most people are rabid like this. Maybe in pre-WWII Europe they were, but they ended up gassing millions of people (Jews, communists, homosexuals, Romani).

Trac 1.6 released (for Python 3 support)
And if you're happy to take on that work (and the associated risk) forever, go for it. For others, hacks like tnat64 work fine. They also work for lots of programs, where patching each one individually to somehow detect that it's behind NAT64 and behave differently is a lot of work!
it's not a zero sum game or a competition though.

You can make beautiful music, and someone else can create a beautiful choreography for it... their achievement will probably increase your joy, not decrease it.
By definition containers are static. Of course I could use them but it would essentially only add one step into the build process and I would gain absolutely noting from it. And I have no reason to use containers only for the sake of using them.

It is entertaining and engrossing storytelling but he seems to like a pretty story more than truth. It's obvious once you realize his take is very one sided.

I was referring to just general JS modules that can import other modules but don't see the global scope, which was arguably the main problem with vanilla JS. But web components are awesome as well, albeit not as critical.

I used to think of cash as fiat currency.

But nowadays cash is hard currency, while electronic payments are fiat currency, or like NFTs.

Docker hub was the one that pushed me over the edge, so I just paid the extra 50c a month per server for ipv4 on cloud servers.

Apparently it can be done now, I wont be finding out in a hurry.

In that case it's no different to just thinking about doing it.
> Drones can spot camouflaged positions only from some closer distance, certainly less than 1000m.

You should check some of the war videos from Ukraine, there's lots and lots of drones up in the sky, it's the classic "quantity that has a quality of its own". Some events/attacks/actions get filmed with 3 or more drones, I remember several such events where there were three different POVs coming from those drones.

I'm tempted to say that camouflage has lost most of its value on a battlefield like that of Southern Ukraine. Even though that would probably be wrong, seeing individual soldiers chased by artillery (mortars, mostly) under heavy foliage, while those soldiers are still wearing adequate camouflage, makes me have second thoughts about the relevance of said camouflage.

More generally, I've yet to see a serious discussion coming from the tech circles about how cheap drones have transformed warfare. Eric Schmidt had tried something like that earlier this year in a Foreign Affairs piece [1], but unfortunately the article wasn't that smart, too many platitudes. In his defence, he was writing at the start of the year, for example this "prediction" of his:

> Marines in urban warfare, for example, could be accompanied by microdrones that serve as their eyes and ears.

has already been implemented by both sides (UA and RU) during this past summer (replace "urban" with the fields around Rabotyne or Bakhmut).

Well... growing pears on an apple tree is doable but not really practical, pear and apple trees are generally not graft-compatible and they will need specific interstock. It's rarely done.

But coppicing, pollarding and daisugi have nothing to do with grafting. It's just that daisugi works with only one tree and its rooted cuttings, but no grafting is involved.
Maintaining your own patchset for your personal use is usually not a good use of your time and expertise.

Every time someone runs a linter over upstream, you're going to have to remake that patch. Sure, it's only 20 mins... But that multiplied by every bit of software you patch and every release, and you quickly realise that a huge chunk of your life was wasted doing what is effectively busywork.

Instead, contribute your time and efforts back to upstream, and now your efforts can help millions of people not just one. If others do the same, you'll see far more improvements to the software you use than you alone could ever write and maintain.
Note that desperation does not preclude a degree of planning, nor does intelligence rule out desperation.

Considering how long phone tracking has been part of movies about crime, I imagine "turn off your phone" would be in the same category as "don't leave blood stains", "don't fire a traceable fire-arm", etc.

... But maybe we should try to avoid accidentally making this thread read like a how-to for committing crime.
What a pretentious list
