You can setup glusterfs incredibly easily. When you write to one dir it’ll auto replicate to N machines. Did this over the weekend and it took me no time at all. Support is realistically Linux only IIRC with some MacFuse stuff for OSX
We cruise in the stratosphere until we gather enough solar power to descend to ground level. On the descent and descent we're collecting soundings, which is the data that's useful for all types of forecasts.

Right now we're focused on the stratospheric forecasts because that's what we know really well (and we already have some interested customers). Our data/models are great for all kinds of forecasts, including ground forecasts, and we'll quickly expand beyond the stratosphere.
That's the hardware. I meant on the software side through the transceiver. If you transfer less bits through the satellite transceiver, I believe you can probably reduce costs.
That's known as the "bandwagon fallacy": People in authority believe it, so it must be true.

Homosexuality used to be a psychological disorder, at times treated by castration.

Hysteria used to be a diagnosable illness in women for which they'd spend years in an institution.

The psychological establishment has a very dark and nasty history, replete with "theories" that they all believed were justified - a practice that continues to this day.
Very interesting, I was with you in the first half of your comment. But Hereditary is one of my favorite movies. And Men In Black is one of my least favorite, for these reasons. MIB is a disgusting film because it is utterly dehumanizing of the other. Aliens, although fully sentient and obviously "human", are fair game for cruelty, casual dismemberment, and mirthful laughter when their bodies are violently splattered onto other characters. Nobody really bats an eye because they're not Homo sapiens; it's literally the color of their guts which makes it okay to explode them.

That's only one example of the kind of depravity that turns me off of a lot of media, including some very fun Star Wars video games. The parallels with racist thinking are obvious to me; if any being can ask you to respect its bodily autonomy, does it really matter whether or not the creature is familiar? I'll probably get (as I always do) some angered responses that I'm taking things too far. I wonder what those people felt when they watched District 9, but perhaps that movie was too obvious about its protagonist for all viewers to generalize their feelings.

(So why am I okay with Hereditary? It's a literal demon. It's not framed as children's entertainment, it's horror; the filmmakers are very clearly not endorsing the violence depicted.)
> the author is looking at nameplate capacity, which is a completely useless metric for variable electricity production sources

For solar panels, the nameplate capacity is usually also the power generated at the peak production time, which is the moment when an attacker turning off all inverters at the same time would have the most impact.

That is: for an attack (or any other failure), the most important metric is not the total power produced, but the instantaneous power production, which is the amount which has to be absorbed by the "spinning reserve" of other power plants when one power plant suddenly goes offline.
This sounds super interesting, loving the prizes, too!
We're talking about the open web here. But yeah that's the point, the dataset is unreasonably small.
More specifically, tail recursion is usually easy to turn into a loop. Tail calls can be difficult to turn into loops when they call a different function, or worse a function passed in as a variable.
Sure, but there are also plenty of abusive situations where a friend or family member would be more than willing to take the abused person in (and the abused person knows this) and they still don't leave.
I find half my job as a developer is writing code, and the other half is advising clients on which features not to implement.
>Controlling for a collider leads to correlation

This is a big one that most people are not aware of. Quite often, in economics, medicine, and epidemiology, you'll see researchers adjust for everything in their regression model: income, physical activity, education, alcohol consumption, BMI, ... without realizing that they could easily be inducing collider bias.

A much better, but rare, approach is to sit down with some subject matter experts and draft up a DAG - directed acyclic graph - that makes your assumptions about the causal structure of the problem explicit. Then determine what needs to be adjusted for in order to get a causal estimate of the effect. When you're explicit about your causal assumptions, it makes it easier for other researchers to propose different causal structures, and see if your results still hold up under alternative causal structures.

The DAGitty tool [1] has some cool examples.

I’ve come to appreciate my home. I spend thousands of dollars a month on it, why wouldn’t I be there enjoying and maintaining it most of my time?

I think the modern idea that you have to be out and about constantly is linked to our consumer culture and growth oriented economy. They want us to be out spending money we don’t have.
Being a balloon company means we get to launch pretty much every day, which is very fun :)
I've done similar things with PostgreSQL and MS-SQL, and it's worked fine for relatively active queues/events/streams, etc. In particular email queues, where the rendered body is captured in the DB, so it can be displayed as-is in an email link itself, or for an sms message link.

It will really depend on your needs... do you have tens, hundreds... or millions of messages a second you need to process? Is this bursty or constant?
> These conditions make the stratosphere a very difficult place to deploy to prod

This sentence is legendary
There's a difference between what is a "table", and what is legally a table. As an equivalent example, someone who is legally blind may not be blind in the colloquial sense of the word. There are practical reasons why a legal definition may be broader or narrower than the colloquial definition. For example, the legal definition of blindness is broader, to accommodate disabled people who for the purposes of earning a living are as good as completely blind. My definition of table is narrower because I'm just making an example, but if we suppose it to be a real definition, it might be because the government wanted to tax the sales of the most common variety of tables sold, without bothering to deal with the uncommon cases, so it made a simple definition but effective definition without ambiguous cases. The fact that someone might call a table something that is not legally a table is not in itself a problem. It's only a problem if it goes against the purpose of the definition. Like I said in a different reply, the government might want to tax something that is legally not a table as if it was. In such an event, the definition would not be perfectly useful for their purposes.
Interferometry requires stable satellites and precise measurements of position. That require larger size for the stability and lots of sophisticated instruments.

Lots of little telescopes cannot see dim objects. Notice how much more the JMST is seeing over Hubble because of the larger mirror. There is minimum sensitivity of sensor and need to give it more light from big mirror. 1m mirror will never see a faint galaxy even if there is a thousand of them. Also, 1m mirrors are not cheap.

Mesh antenna would be useless. It needs to be a rigid dish of some size to reach across the Solar System. It also needs quite a bit of power to reach that far.

Solar sails and rockets take up space, quite a lot of space compared to payload. Your thousands of hundred dollar probes would be hundreds of hundred dollar probes attached to thousand dolllar rockets. There are also scaling factors where thinks don't work beyond certain size. SpaceX costs less because of mass produced larger size.

You are the one that brought up tons of little probes. Cheap access to space means lots of medium probes are feasible. But medium probes cost money which means less sensitive to cheap access to space.

> Getting them up to speed of this object is beyond our technology.

This post is about interstellar object. I wasn't sure if you meant Solar System probe, one going that speed, or one going interstellar distances.
FWIW, if Apple wanted to maximize long-term benefit (not saying they are, but also am not wanting to say they aren't), even if there were no benefit from doing this (which I actually doubt) and even if there were no price reduction, they would still get around to doing this action as it would let them invest more money later into engineers that work on things they care about, as opposed to things Qualcomm cares about, and hopefully/maybe that correlates with things you/I care about.

I said the voters there, because the voters voted for him, knowing he was going to use ChatGPT. While I don't personally think the voters are 100% responsible for the actions of an elected official once elected, in the game of finger pointing, I'm sure it would get pointed back to them... "well, you voted for it!"

That's where the next level comes in. It is still on the elected official, because he should have the good sense to step in when it's saying to do something stupid or reckless.
> there are a lot of places where a $2 coffee buys you an afternoon.

But there also isn't much reason to go there if nobody else does. A weird network-effect thing, right? Like, I didn't bother walking down to the local Chilean bakery that serves food because it's mostly empty most of the time, and there's only so much I can chat to the folks working there about as a stranger who lives down the street.

Japan 7-Eleven parent to mull takeover offer from Canada's Couche-Tard
Yes, and please offer that rather than just come saying "Scrum Bad." Just for a point of reference, people had said "Waterfall Bad" for 25 years before an alternative was presented. It took another 15 years after that before the alternative became wide practiced. Now here we are 15 years after adopting the alternative and saying it's bad. Yes, these discussions and laments go back for decades.
A lot of formerly-enjoyable leisure activities outside the home have become a lot loss fun over the last few decades, too.

I know a lot of people in the US, and especially Canada, who've stopped going to restaurants for example. They now cost too much, the food is often mediocre or even outright bad, the service is often terrible, parking can be an issue in some cities, and it's generally a miserable experience. Cooking at home, even if takes more effort, ends up being comparatively more enjoyable.

That's also the case for movies, concerts, sporting events, exhibitions, and tourist venues. The tickets cost a lot relative to the enjoyment that's provided, and the pricing of food and drinks at such events can be astronomical. It has just become prohibitively expensive, especially for families, in addition to the other inconveniences (such as travel and parking) that can be associated with such events.

Even something as simple as going to a beach or a lake has become an awful experience in Canada. A problem at Canadian beaches has been foreigners defecating in the sand, rather than using the proper washroom facilities. Even when that isn't happening, such places can be quite crowded and nowhere near as fun as they were in the past when they were quieter.

I certainly can't blame people for not wanting to subject themselves to unpleasant experiences like those.
I wholeheartedly disagree as someone with 8k+ hours in game.

In fact most people in dota have maxed out behavior scores.

You have to try pretty hard to be muted in the game or have behavior or communication scores lowered significantly.

I can assure anyone that just because you're sitting at 12k doesn't mean your experience is going to be good or an "entirely different experience"
It's x86; it works better for hardware accelerated video playback via VAAPI due to FOSS Intel drivers; because it's fully integrated out of the box, its total cost is a bit cheaper than an RPi, and as a single unit with no assembly, it's quite a bit faster to deploy.

We’ll probably never know. It wouldn’t surprise me if they both forgot about it, and then like a year later he’s looking at his bank receipts and like “woh, what’s that big check?” And maybe never even asked for the money back.

Deep Adaptation opens up necessary conversation about breakdown of civilisation (2020)
> They didn’t have a magic culture of excellence then either and it wasn’t bestowed on them by elders.

It was, actually. The machinists at Boeing 70 years ago were taught their craft. They didn't just figure it all out from scratch; some aspects of aeronautics were novel but shipbuilders were making propellers before William Boeing was even born.

> They built it then and it can definitely be built again.

I can't see why I should trust this line of reasoning. I baked a cake yesterday, so I should definitely be able to bake a cake today, right? But I ran out of flour and stores are closed.

Not to say that it can't be done, but in today's economy, with today's culture, it just isn't a sure thing.
Cursory doubt: “Ouroboros”, I sort of know the mythological connection. Can’t understand the usage context here. Pardon I’m not a native speaker.

We've seen Elon's companies are more than okay with cutting corners as long as marketing optics look good.

Not saying Boeing is any better, but the culture at his companies seems to be: "Fast dev and fake high quality. Hype it up."
Thanks for running the numbers, which I think prove that it's impossible to say that Soyuz is more reliable than Falcon, even if you count AMOS-1 (which feels like it should be counted) and CRS-1 (which I don't).
I think the larger problem is alignment.

BS gatekeeping rituals and compliance-for-sale theatre are arguably just symptoms -- of companies and individuals not being aligned with developing trustworthy systems.
Full Stops Can Annoy Gen Z, Warn Linguists
I dunno. I lived next to a small inland sea most of my adult life. The number of times someone on the other side of town asserted it was raining when in fact it was not was quite high.

Every adult in Seattle eventually has to learn that if you have an activity planned on the other side of town, if you cancel it because it’s raining at your house you’re not going to get anything done. You have to phone a friend or just show up and then decide if you’re going to cancel due to weather.

Now to be fair, in the case of Seattle, there’s a mountain that multiplies this effect north versus south. NL doesn’t have that, but if you look at the weather satellite at the time of my writing, there are long narrow strips of precip over England that are taller but much narrower than NL.
I don't buy this - there are third spaces where you don't need to spend money and they've been here forever and are usually accessible. Churches, libraries, parks, certain community recreational facilities, gyms ,etc. It's not a lack of spaces, it's an issue of getting to those spaces.

Me any my wife's experience with roblox:

>Find good games through reddit recommendations

>Play the games, most are novel and remind me of WC3 customs

>Show our non-gamer friends the quirky games

Its pretty cool, but there is soo much garbage to get past.
Right, and now you're pretending that you said it was bad, not that it sucked.

Of course it's bad: it's factually and objectively bad, there's plenty of investigative journalism that unequivocally demonstrates it's absolute garbage and enables the worst kind of crimes the US can imagine. But, and this is important: that has nothing to do with whether it sucks or not. In fact, it "doesn't suck" enough for millions upon millions of people to use it every single day. Roblox is terrible BECAUSE it doesn't suck: the whole reason it's so bad for humanity is PRECISELY BECAUSE it's awesome enough for a large enough demographic to keep using it, while being opaque enough to the demographic that should be correcting this behaviour to not get it so that Roblox can keep getting away with it.

The absolutely biggest problem with Roblox is literally that it doesn't suck. If only it did, kids would stop playing it!

Roblox has, objectively, a terrible effect on the world. This is demonstrably true. It's not an opinion. But saying it sucks is. Words matter.
As I mention in a sibling post, Soyuz might have more launches, but it also has way more launch failures.
Iunno. There could be reasons why it should, there could he reasons why it shouldn't, or it might not matter either way. Maybe the government wants to encourage people to modify their cars to have an extra wheel, and it does so by allowing their drivers to drive faster.

If you want a less contrived example, where I live motorcycles require different licenses depending on their engine displacement, but since electric motorcycles have a displacement of 0, they can be ridden without registration or license. Is this due to oversight or to encourage use of electric motorcycles? Are people who ride electric motorcycles without a license getting away with exploiting a loophole, or are they using the law as intended?
I thought there was already price gouging legislations on the book do we need more? Maybe this covers some corner case the existing legislation doesn't?

The legislation around pricing that I would like to see is for businesses to not be allowed to charge outside of the normal market rate for your area if 30% of their income is from government funded sources. Things such as EBT or Medicare etc...

Because I live in a very small community and somewhat rural Alabama and I refuse to shop at the store in town even though it is a major chain and known throughout the southeast. The reason for this is their prices are on average 25% or 30% higher then the so-called predatory convenience stores that are prevalent. This community is below average income wise and most of the people who have to shop locally do use EBT for their groceries. Driving 15 minutes away you can go to other stores that are much cheaper but when you're locked in the community they're allowed to exploit these higher prices. For example I went there 2 days ago just to revalidate my assumptions on this and they were selling a dozen large eggs for $5.29 all right across the street at the store whose initials are DG a dozen large eggs was $4.25. both are a lot higher than our favorite German grocery store but they're both chains and eggs are a commodity staple item that people need. It's absolutely ridiculous that the FTC isn't cracking down on this kind of exploitation of the taxpayer dollars.

If the store was charging a large markup on non staple items such as Little Debbie snack cakes or alcohol things of that nature I wouldn't have a real problem with it but when you're charging 20% to 30% higher on staple grocery items because you have a community of poor people who are getting their money from the taxpayer and don't have the ability to drive a short distance out of town to get a better deal that seems criminal. Because this kind of ongoing price gouging is hurting the most vulnerable in our nation and reducing their purchasing power for the necessary food items we as a people are trying to give them so they can achieve a better life.
The year of Linux on the laptop has yet to arrive for most of us. Windows and MacOS both offer better battery life, if for no other reason (and there are usually other reasons, like suspend/wake issues, graphics driver woes, etc.)
Anecdotally, several managers of such spaces tell me they are dying from lack of use.

I know my parents used them, but I never did. My friends used them a bit in university but stopped once they could afford something different. My local community centre's calendar has dried up, despite the space still being there. New neighborhoods sometimes don't even bother to build one now where I am, as there is no demand.

Nobody demolished the churches or the libraries, but they have rapidly aging user bases. Rotary and other similar social clubs would love younger members, but younger people don't want them.
You're turning war into a black-and-white "total war" situation. Total war is rare, and no -- no ships have sailed.

It's easy to imagine a scenario where something happens between China and Taiwan, Europe gets involved in a way that majorly pisses off China, and China decides to sabotage Europe's grid in response.

Nothing about that is "total war" with Europe, and it's not like Europe is going to escalate with nukes either because that would be wildly disproportionate.

But it's a major vulnerability that should be fixed as quickly as possible. It's negligent for that to even be an option for China, because it certainly doesn't seem like Europe can do anything similar to the grid in China.

Your idea that security vulnerabilities don't matter, that "that ship has sailed", is false and irresponsible.
