Yes, thanks for the clarification. IIRC was explained to me as "we put the last unused bit in IP packets to use, and get this great feature from it."

This thing is cool. I saw a live demo at IETF 118 in Prague last month. It totally eliminates buffer bloat, which makes it awesome for video chat. I saw the demo and was like "woah... I didn't think this would ever be possible.

You missed the point. This law does not distinguish whether pedestrians are present or not.

Your goal is to remove people from the city who value efficiency and productivity? Or are you saying that you don't like me, personally, and want me to leave?

Or maybe he's like me, and both walks and drives, and doesn't want anybody to have to sit in a car wasting their life for longer than necessary. Efficiency matters.

It also happened in Portland in 2018, and it sucks, and makes me avoid Portland. The speed limit is 20mph on most roads, no matter how many lanes of empty tarmac there is, what time of day it is, with how much visibility, how straight the r

GNS seems not to replace the actual names like Handshake -- but just the protocol for distributing the names across the network. [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32223129

Police are needed for society when there's no other way to enforce rules. But inside a company, you can just fire people when they misbehave. That's why you don't need police inside your company. You only need police at the

Building housing can address the housing-prices problem, but the homeless problem is actually a drug problem, which is actually a mental health problem, which is actually a deep social problem. You can't solve fentanyl with housing.

Yes, it is. I'm trying to spread the word... but maybe this is the kind of thing that needs a good full-size articulation for it to really click.

They completely solve the ordering problem of a key-value store as described in this article. What they don't do is give you a global linear ordering. But you don't need that in a key-value store, and you don't need that in

Or you could just use a CRDT. You don't need PAXOS, RAFT, or CURP to implement a key-value store. Those are distributed state machines , all you need is distributed state. That means you don't need a leader election. You don&#x

That's not true at all. They had already studied the evidence on February 2 when they had the slack conversations. No new evidence appeared. Then they said out loud that they were changing the paper's conclusions away from thei

There has been little or no new physical evidence. We have seen new evidence of coverup, though, where scientists privately said there was high likelihood of lab leak in slack messages before publicly signing publications claiming there w

by toomim 3y ago
It's not absolving anyone from blame. The lab leak theory blames all parties-- it points out that the US NIH funded the research being done in Wuhan, which is public record. That's leaving aside the specious claim that there'

But that's a good thing. "Open this in the app" links are the worst advertising scum on the web.

Yep. I tried to write my dissertation in an accessible way, and my thesis committee's only feedback was on the style. They didn't even bother to read the content. Then I dropped out and posted the dissertation on the web, instead.

That's true in biology, chemistry, and physical sciences, but less true in computer science.

Contractors are not employees. This is about employees. The key difference between the two is precisely that employers are not presumed to watch and control how a contractor works.

Let's make clear what you did. You told us to conflate the concepts of "elites" with "jews" — converting a discussion about class into one about race. That's what a racist does. A racist sees everything in te

I thought this was Duolingo, a language learning app. And before that, I thought Duolingo was a crowdsourced translation app, that doubled as a language learning app.

> Why is "how hard it is for beginners to understand a concept without reading a reference" a useful metric for measuring anything? Two reasons: 1) Because it's unnecessary complexity. When you add unnecessary complexity
