Poe was very much loved here in Eastern Europe. I know he was loved in Romania, from where I'm from, my dad had a couple of his translated volumes in our library, in fact The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket is one of the first books I've read as a kid (the title seemed interesting, that's why I had chosen it).

At a quick search I found this blog-post detailing Poe's influence on Russian literature [1], apparently he had been translated in Russian since pretty early on, in the 1840s (via the French translation, not directly from English). Found this part pretty interesting:

> ”Edgar Poe—the underground stream in Russia.” So the Russian Symbolist poet Aleksandr Blok noted in his journal for November 6, 1911, a topic for a future critical study.

If I recall correctly, someone recently commented that it is still a human doing the falsification, as it was in 1928 when Ponsonby wrote the pamphlet.

Probably safer to hug them than another human. Most diseases don't even cross species boundaries, seems unlikely they'd do well trying to infect a completely alien being.

The reason that diseases from the old world were so deadly, when they crossed the pond, is that they'd evolved to spread quite well even in humans with an evolved or acquired resistance and were suddenly in a completely unprepared population.

"War crimes" are not bad/tragic things that are occurring. War crimes require specific intent to say kill civilians. the laws of war acknowledge that civilians will die during war. The death of a civilian is not in and of itself a war crime.

Calling things war crimes in a factual manner when one doesn't have any ability to know what is occurring, is problematic. why? because one is making the argument that Israel is explicitly intending to target and kill civilians. If one is wrong about that, it's the equivalent of a blood libel.

As a simple example: if on average 1 in every 10,000 smart bombs would have a defect (i.e. a very small percentage) that turns it into a dumb bomb. One is lucky when that defective bomb doesn't kill any non targets. However, even if it it caused as massive tragic loss of life (as world media tried to pin on Israel for the self inflicted Hospital bombing), that accident is not a war crime. There is no intent, and using smart bombs (i.e. more expensive and more accurate) is in general proof that they were not acting recklessly.

Of course, if one believes Israel's entire existence is a "crime", then none of this matters to those people, because Israel's entire existence is a "crime" and even if they would only kill "combatants" without 0 civilian deaths, they would still view those deaths as "war crimes" (in the sense that if you're committing a crime, you can't claim self defense if your kill someone who is trying to stop you with physical force). I would argue that those who view Israel's existence as a "crime" are in general antisemites.
I saw an analysis recently that suggested a nuclear war between the west and Russia would no longer end in mutually assured destruction. Instead, it was likely that most of the west's missiles would be able to disable most of Russia's weapons before they could get to their targets, while the reverse was not true.

Such a war would also likely extend the west's dominance by ~50 years or more if the replacement government in Russia was a pro-US one.

Could this be the start of testing that out?

I'm simplifying. Goto10 is ran by Internetstiftelsen which was a state run agency back when they were managing the .se ccTLD. I haven't really kept track of what's going on with them. Knowing Sweden it wouldn't surprise me if it's some sort of hybrid between privatized and state run.

I spent Saturday, Sunday, and part of Friday tabling at Maker Faire for Hacker/Maker-spaces[1] and for Noisebridge[2]. With some other folks who tabled all of last weekend too.

There are many! Also, more importantly, other institutions have taken up ideas from them and offer tools and services to address the same needs. Libraries and colleges in many communities host makerspace tools, tool libraries

The maker movement has taken off, Etsy, home crafting, and sharing and selling projects at all varient of levels of polish,

Finding like-minded individuals, for all manner of interests, is possible through meetups.

I suppose, they've unbundled. I would say: look closer, they're maybe more present than ever, but in parts, and adapted in ways that best complement the psychological demographics of the places they serve.

This is the dumbest thing that I've read this year. In multiple respects. I'd be dying to know where you get your daily news from. Because I have a friend thats thinks like you. He reads a lot of 9gag. Called me once in the middle of the night a year ago because "Putin was about to nuke us". We traced the source of his fear back to a fake news article dubbing over random Russian TV excerpts with vile subtitles. He's otherwise considered sane and a family man.

Also: We're debating a lie. OP is a liar. How dumb can you be?
Good point: first you're right, we do the ack on Kafka but it's not necessary.
Second, this is not what I wanted to stress... and I should have not used the verb "acknowledge". What we do is upload the data on S3, then we commit partitions + positions in what we call the metastore. I can't edit my comment unfortunately.

True, but we generalized the concept of partitions for other datasources, pretty convenient to use it for distributing indexing tasks.

Is NebulaGraph Database Safe? China/CCP Connection?

In June 2020, NebulaGraph raised $8M in a series pre-A funding round led by Redpoint China Ventures and Matrix Partners China.[5][6]

The Intricacies of Cybersecurity: A Detailed Discourse with Juhani Hintikka
"Of course, by the 19th century this has fallen dreafully behind as Keju curriculums were never updated to fit an evolving world."

This represents a misunderstanding of objective of the test. The subject matter of the test is sort of irrelevant (other than cementing a common cultural foundation for the educated classes). The test functions primarily as an IQ test of sorts. Talented individuals end up rising while lazy/stupid ones do not. It's not about building skills

In the modern world it's not really all that different. Children in China study crazy hard for the gaokao, but if you speak to anyone who's gone through the system they've virtually all forgotten the history and multivariable calculus they had to study. People primarily learn relevant skills "on the job"

The UK didn't have the industrial revolution because they started to teach children algebra
As someone from Europe, I can't understand the inability of mainstream US culture and media to disentangle marriage from long term stable relationships. Take this paragraph from the article:

> More women are deciding to have children and also remain single. Almost half of all babies born in the U.S. were born to unmarried women in 2019, a dramatic increase since 1960, when only 5% of births were to unmarried mothers. And it's not because of divorce; today's unpartnered mothers are also more likely to have never been married.

They go from "single" to "unmarried" back to "unpartnered" without batting an eye. The statistics they cite are about marriage yet they are generalized to all single women. It doesn't make sense.

At least the author of the book is aware of this:

> In the U.S., she says, unmarried adults who decide to live together do it for a much shorter duration than in Europe. [...] "If you just look in the data, marriage is what delivers kids a stable, long-term, two-parent household in this country."

In my opinion looking into what's driving that difference between couples in the US and Europe would be worth a discussion on its own.
I have sit on the ErgoChair Pro (https://www.autonomous.ai/p/ergochair-pro) from Autonomous for years now and it is truly worth investing. The best thing I love about the chair is the lumbar support and its recline. TBH, Very comfortable, a total back save and complete game changer.

Also, try wearing one in a hot field working your ass off...anyone claiming that field workers are wearing respirators is crazy.
No positive incentives, nobody gets promoted doing bug fixes, everybody tries to focus on hot features.

No negative incentives, it's not safety-critical so nobody will recall or sue.
Care to elaborate on why? It seems overly hopeful, not to mention somewhat dangerous to just assume western missile superiority, but it could also be true. It’s not like MAD is a law of physics.

I just watched Ozu’s 1956 film Tokyo Twilight and the opening scene has two strangers introduced to each other in a tiny bar, and within minutes one of them is sharing his food with the other. I wondered how realistic the scene was, but from what you write, perhaps it was representative of everyday life. Still, Japan is such a regimented society. How do bar owners ensure that the regulars it attracts belong to the same level in the social hierarchy, so that they can feel comfortable among one another?

This can be fixed with fairly simple modifications luckily.

The neat thing about sci-fi is that they are fiction first and science second. This makes them enticing to enjoy but not mundanely realistic enough to be actual real life guidance. Good to keep in mind.
The take home message, for anybody that missed it, is that Apple, (and probably the other streaming services) are happy to censor content to appease business partners, and that business interests are more important than being an impartial news and current affairs platform.

We all knew it, but its always good to be reminded.

Good on Jon Stewart for walking away from Apple over this issue.
I divided through, assuming sustained rate:

1T/day = 11.575M/s

I personally find 11.5M/s a lot more impressive sounding. Though another comment suggests 100k servers — for about 100/s per server.

10ms per request isn’t particularly good or bad; volume is still impressive.

Massive Multiplayer is hard to do research on, you can not whip something up and have 20k players evaluate it for you. Just getting 10 people to consistently test something is hard. I guess we could work on improving the MP of generic games like Minecraft/Minetest and skip the game logic.

> In Europe, it seems like HSR stations are often in greenfield locations outside of town.

This is not true at all. If this were the case, it would thoroughly defeat the core advantage of HSR over air travel: fast connections between city centres without requiring passengers to travel to some far-flung port of call, adding an additional two hours at least.

All the Gares, Hauptbahnhofs, Staziones, Estacións, and St Pancrases of Europe are bang smack in the middle of their respective cities, and almost all predate the introduction of HSR by around a century or so, barring renovations here and there. The only truly brand-new HSR stations are in Japan and China.

Plenty of HSR within European cities use existing infrastructure and 1435 mm standard gauge, and travel at lower speeds to account for this. The trains usually only get up to speed as they leave the city and enter dedicated high-speed railways with grade separation, concrete sleepers, reduced turning radii, etc.

It looks like it doesn’t have locking differentials but that’s usually overkill.

I’ll need to read more about the “Off Road” drive modes. It sounds similar to the Tacoma’s “Crawl Control”.

An air compressor is nice but you can pick up a Tsunami Air Compressor and a tire deflator for like $130.

I stopped 3 months ago. It's not worth the effort. Unless you know someone or find a very specific job that you perfectly fit, it's an up-hill battle. For now with the high rates, the economy is doing badly. But it could get worse. I'll wait for a few weeks and see how the situation in the Middle-East will resolve. An enlargement of the conflict is going to send energy prices to the moon. The economy will be an order of magnitude by then.
There are a lot more use cases in taxi and food delivery space than in video streaming. At least by an order of magnitude. Consider various user personas for one, legal considerations and so on. Technically each use case might be less demanding than video streaming, but overall much more complex.
Terrible. I am apparently the only front end developer on the planet without at least 3 years of react experience. I’ve got a third interview next week for a company I’m not particularly excited about, but at least it would be a job.

I don’t mind interviewing, I just hate the pressure and uncertainty of job hunting in general. Just give me some work to do, already.
I feel for you (6ft2 myself and I fit exactly) and other customer irritations as well.

When I first flew thirty years ago (getting older here) it was half a monthly average paycheck for one kid Amsterdam - US. I remember, since I had to do chores and save my allowance for half the ticket. Currently I fly five pax Amsterdam - Spain on a holiday for not even a third of an average paycheck. People got richer and flying got massively more efficient. We are just undergoing the pains of how to treat flying like trains or buses where the individual passenger is not the primary customer.

(This is only relatable for people in places with working mass transit. Obviously you are the customer, but the timetable and procedures couldn’t care. It’s the bureaucratic approach to business. The free drinks and suitcases in legacy flying are another model, that incidentally failed on shorter flights.)
Servers have no parallelism?

It's an interesting paper, but they've made some weird trade offs regarding latency for resource efficiency that make it seem niche especially for FaaS tech, and the TPS they're hitting is surprisingly low for something that is supposedly in widespread use at their company. Some of their suggestions at the end are also already features for FaaS products in some form or another too.

I think this paper is awesome and this platform is not a trivial piece of engineering to be clear, but it doesn't seem particularly novel or even reaching close to the larger workloads that public cloud services offer.

>the vast majority of software companies will never count a trillion of anything

As others have noted, it's not impossible that many of our own laptops have run a "trillion functions".. the devil is in the details here for systems researchers and engineers, and based on the details XFaaS isn't nearly as novel as say Presto was.
