Currently in China, the locals don't really look upward, it's an unchangeable fact that they have a corrupt dictatorship. Instead they look around them and try to cheat each other because they think that is the only way to get the head.

I'm not sure they actually know much about what communism actually is. I'm sure they were taught something though


The activity here correlates very well with the amount of actual citations and rebuttals of the original document.

It's almost like it's just a massive act of collective misrepresentation, one of those "winning the narrative" kind of situations.


I didn't read 'all progressives' but rather that the loudest and least factual agitators do it in the name progressiveness.

Does my alternate interpretation make your comment a tripling down?

Is this comment somehow quadrupling down?


I agree 100%, the only stake I have in this is the lack of argumentation paired with the amount of outrage and knee-jerk reactions being portrayed as normal by the media.

The only counter arguments I see around this is essentially "this is not a person I generally agree with so their opinion has zero value. They might be a doctor in psychology but my opinion is more correct."


No 3.5mm headphone jack, never buying.

Exactly the same from Shanghai

I find it's only crisp enough when I use bitmap fonts, I prefer how vector fonts look on 4K but I'll still buy 1080p for the battery life.

I think it would be enough if they encrypted the video contents and stored in blocks out of order, ideally I would also have it streamed but let's be realistic about bandwidth and availability requirements for that. In the end there will always be significant on device storage.

Make sure that the people who are responsible for the decryption and delivery of the content have incitement that the result is useful.


What, I can't simply post to any login/register/logout uri's and expect either a redirect with configuring headers back or an object that let's me manage the token manually?

EDIT: I've been trying out keycloak and it looks great but I've always assumed I just had not figured out how to make that happen. As the documentation is quite large and of the harder kind.


I think SQL is another prime example, being able to solve a problem effectively without resorting to Turing-completeness is preferable to me, as long as that language is simple enough.

We are just a few hundred million from making it fold now!

As someone traveling between Europe and Asia a lot and a former resident in Berlin. IMO Berlin is far from having an international Airport, it has two European airports but flying there means transiting somewhere. I appreciate Tegel tho, only airport in a capitol I've been able to make a flight when still in the cab 30min before take off. Less than 4h door to door between my appartment in Berlin and my friends in Stockholm.

He does a fair bit of down climbing too, he has described it as the most important skill for free soloing before

Maps "works", there are essentially zero updates for many years. Walk down a street in Shanghai where business pop up/ shutdown/ move more often than annually on average, hardly a single name ever correlates with google maps.

Individuals too, there seem to have been by Chinese standards extremely high fines issued related to OSM.

This seems pretty similar to Wallaroo but with more focus on connecting to everything. And of course golang vs Pony

That is a very interesting prospect actually, any plans on making python integration simple? Some parts of my pipelines rely on very large python modules I don't see being rebuilt in anything else in the next few years.

In what way is it not? I'm really curious actually

Is there anyone who thinks that the current level of racism is required for the current accuracy? I can't imagine people that racist to be common in the data community

I wonder what a flat-earther would say about this backyard satellite photography example

About nine years ago I found out a friend of mine was a "flat-earther" online. He was very much under the impression that it was mostly an insincere and sarcastic group of people mostly trying to trick people that they actually believe this.

Today I'm not sure if 1. He was wrong about the movement. 2. They succeeded in convincing me and most of us they believe more than they do. 3. They convinced and attracted people and they actually on average do believe that the earth is flat.


Of course they do, the amount of data you can gather in an app compared to what you can get in a browser...

I'm not convinced which story is strictly the correct one yet but I don't think the strength of the denial is an argument for either. It just shows that it's important that your narrative wins, truth or not.

I've lost those in the same theft as I lost my 2fa device for github. Not going to store them outside of my password manager for github again.

So why do I use 2fa for github? Because organizations require it.


What's strange to me is how many hours we've been given the same message. Today is an important day for my organization and not getting any information that hints how long this will last is a huge problem for our planning.

I don't know how much my org is paying but it's no small amount, Enterprise no. Are we getting what we pay for? I don't think so, I think effective SLA of 99% isn't good enough for any SasS. But of course you understand that moving away from github is no small decision.

Absolutely is this a perfect time to assess deployment strategies and challenge all the advice of how big a company has to be before it's worth to do X.


If you are not asking for take away, only the tourist-trap hawker centres will give you single use of anything but maybe tiny plastic sauce trays. What you experienced is incredibly far from the norm.

What are the benefits of using qri over ipfs? At a glance it seems very similar, just narrower.

Ah, that's excellent. Thanks for your time

>If I can do blocking IO with my peripherals and use the async state machines to do "task" switching, well... who needs tasks and capabilities? It'd land somewhere on the "language OS" side of an embedded OS almost.

Waiting directly on the resource like that would require exclusive access quite often though?


Should make them most likely to try to please their owner. Whoever gets to write something for Jack that is charitable without even being asked to do has a lot to gain.

I think that what they write has little connection to truth in a situation like this but with that said I have no idea nor do I really care to form an opinion yet.


Wow did we work on the same startup? We ended up with a ZoL cluster with better but not great stability instead with less than half the performance for latency critical loads. But at least it was correct.

Could use argon in a vat shaped system and continuously push in more to wash out any oxygen following the tools. Could probably be done with very little oxygen touching the brain if we really want to build the tools.

Considering some others in there this feels like a slap on the wrist

Hey, now that might actually work. Can't have that

Who cares what they want? You already beat them, you don't need them and they need you to need them.

Just keep growing your business sideways, try to reuse as much as possible of your IP and experiences.

You are on the right track


As in they have effective voting majority? Otherwise make them provide enough proof that you can trust their suggestions. Because the original message sounds like they want you "just behave like everyone else in the valley".

That is lose control of your company, take in money faster than you can use it and lose it all with over 90% probability.

As mentioned by `icu` in the other response, smart money can be great. Just make sure it's SMART and not SF-herd mentality BS.


I'm sure there is a very modest energy density possible before materials start behaving radically different. Maybe it can be used in energy harvesting tho, to build some form of kinetic pump

It's HKPD though. They are like 200 years away from that kind of capacity.

Last I checked it is 14bit. Very long time ago, but I'm very sure it used to be 14 and not sure if it is 16 now. Regardless I'm sure a lot older CDs have a quarter of the fidelity as a result

Second order thinking here, it was a great narrative for supporting the next AI-winter

Why? Airplane mode is a software feature right, you just don't enable whatever power transistors you use to amplify your transmission. However a receiver won't give measurable EMF, you could still listen and detect any abnormally low noise floor. You could probably even employ a heuristic like "only call home if the noise floor has been very high for at least one hour".

That would still be catastrophic for people trying to avoid tracking in demonstrations for example.

Or what am I missing?


Is this the "men is short for bogeymen and thus not the same as any other collectivisation"-argument or an argument that they did not mean what they said?

No Justice for the ugly. At least as easily

I have one, just weighed it 36g without cable, 52 with the entire cable. So real lift will be between the those two, probably closer to 40g

While I'm no expert in the subject. Shouldn't read after write in event sourcing be nonsensical in terms of correctness? Instead you have to convert that problem into asynchronously waiting for a ACK message that your message had its intended effect. And only then would you ask to read the state?

EDIT: This of course does not cover the optimistic concurrency models in say PostgreSQL where you can effectively begin-write-read-rollback to extract information about a hypothetical state. Sadly I've had to use patterns like that before and there seem to be no alternative to that hack in event sourcing.


That is a very interesting approach, however I can imagine that it can be quite a large database of encryption keys.

I'll have to build a small system for this and try it.


I had the same experience, still use them. Most ball point pens are not archival safe anyway, so to remove the guess work I scan my important stuff with my phone's camera anyway. It's my go to method for creating a graph for what I'm writing anyway.

But if I were in uni or something and were forced to maintain multiple projects at the same time(modules) I would probably opt for something else.


> Your typical T1 will prefer insulin therapy over immunosuppressants.

Me and me father both have T1 and he has received transportation of beta cells. Only because he was already on immune suppressants. I'll take insulin every day for the rest of my life happily if I never end up with his general health issues.


This is why I'm always looking at the new cool databases on the block before going back to postgres.

The hard truth is that postgres is more annoying to operate than a lot of the modern alternatives when you need HA.
