One thing with those benchmarks:

Amon's piece is back when Scaleway was way more expensive. Amon says that he started a DigitalOcean Droplet with similar specs to the Scaleway box.

The Scaleway box has 2GB of memeory and 4 cores.

The first Digital Ocean box with more than 1 core and 2GB of memory is $20 a month. That's 6 times more expensive than Scaleway!

It would be interesting to see what the benchmarks would be like on the price competitive Digital Ocean offering (single core, 512MB memory, 20GB Hard disk)

How is this distributed model going to deal with the fact that a lot of (all of?) the websites we visit have dynamic content?

Web content is rarely very dynamic. With the exception of social networks and news sites, most websites would be largely indistinguishable from what they look like now if they were serving the same page as yesterday or a week ago. Technologically we could trade the 'rendered on request' model with the very latest data for a 'rendered and then cached across the internet for a day' distributed model very easily.

Psychologically however, no one would agree to it. People believe their content has to be available to everyone the instant they press Publish.

If it was just work, I'd say it was certainly just burnout. However, when its pretty much your whole life [it sounds like], it could be depression.

I'm always motivated to do at least a good chunk of my "after work" activities, every week. But yeah, work, ehhhhhhh I'm just not happy unless I'm working on something I'm proud of and that comes along maybe once every 18 months.

I find it really disturbing how many people are busy attacking the author because he should have known better, or they think he's going to use the domain in a way that doesn't add value. The domain and use of the domain in question is irrelevant.

The takeaway is that PayPal has a ludicrous policy of accepting easily faked screenshots as indisputable truth that a domain has been transferred, as the OP demonstrates here: http://tooltrainer.com/blog/watch-me-hack-and-own-paypal-com...

Reminds me of the the people saying it was okay that Ashley Madison got hacked, because we don't like cheaters and therefore they deserve whatever they get. And while we're busy feeling morally superior, the real bad guys continue to scam and harm more people.
> "I started going forward, learning how to communicate a little better, eventually realizing I didn’t have to use my fists [...]"

Learning how to communicate effectively solves a lot of problems. Language allows individuals to internally articulate what is bothering them, rather than allow an amorphous shadow to unendingly torment their minds with no clear lines to see and thus attack the underling problem. Language allows us to express to others what is wrong so that they may understand the problem and provide useful feedback.

Language is an incredibly important skill and if we can encourage more young people to learn effective communication, the better for us all.

Actually, my problem with giving someone else data is that apparently US law considers data given to a third-party to be essentially a free for all for law enforcement agencies. There is zero protection for anything you have at one point shared with a third-party company, even if a device did the sharing.

I admit my post was more a personal complaint/rant than a legal argument. I guess my concern isn't so much about privacy as it is about the ability (or inability) to decide on at least a general level where to send information.

Put way-too-simplisticly, if someone said to me:

"Would you let my widget track where you drive in exchange for a discount on fuel based on mileage?" Maybe I would say yes. Maybe I would say no.

How about if the offer also said that "the way we pay for this is by scanning the data we collect. That way we can sell ad space to businesses near your common driving areas. They never get your actual data but a shop on your morning commute will pay us to show their ads to people that may pass by." Maybe I would still agree. Or maybe I'd think, "eh....I dunno. Raw data for discounts is one thing but analyzing it for third parties seems sketchy." Again, my choice in general even if I don't ever know the exact workings of the software and transactions or any of the third party businesses buying ad space.

I think of it more like contract law and knowing (at least broadly) what you're agreeing to before you sign.

To continue this ludicrously oversimplified example, let's say I agree to the terms because on one hand, all this targeted advertising seems a little tacky or creepy but on the other hand, it really does beat getting blasted with ads for stores in other towns or items I'd never buy. Plus hey...the discounts on gas mean I'm spending $50 less every month!

Well, without my knowledge, the local Drug Enforcement Agency has decided that the best way to stop trafficking is to either secretly demand all the data collected by this ads-for-fuel service or just install some dodgy new data collection towers that connect to the tracking widget and intercept it all without anyone's knowledge.

That is the point where I have a problem. It's not that I expect complete privacy in public. If law enforcement wants to get a warrant to track my car because they think I'm a criminal suspect, that's something that can happen. But to demand (or just take) mass amounts of data that was only volunteered for other uses is just not cool.

Maybe my animosity comes from thinking that if the state wants all of this info, they ought to develop their own ways of getting it, rather than just taking advantage of legit services that people choose to use. Or maybe if they just came out and said "we're putting a tracker on everyone's car" people would go apeshit.

It's like if you can't convince everyone to submit to tracking by the state/law enforcement, just wait until someone else develops a service everyone wants to sign up for, then demand or steal their data.

Aquaponics proponents rarely mention that you have to feed the fish. The fish are essentially filters that reduce other matter (mostly other fish) into nitrates. An efficient system would remove these inefficient filters and add nitrates directly to the soil.

Yes, you can eat the fish. But it takes 240 days to raise (feed) a tilapia to 1 lb of weight. There are cheaper and faster sources of protein. For example, soy beans take 45-100 days and yield .25lb of pods per plant.

It's not as much about how many hours you work so much as how much of your life revolves around your job. Ask yourself this: if things aren't going well in your job, what happens? If your life revolves around one thing and that thing goes badly, it affects your whole life. Having more things outside of work helps a great deal.

Of course this appeal will fail. The US believes that it has jurisdiction essentially everywhere. One need only look at the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) to see this firmly held belief in action. The US Government is increasingly using it [1] to prosecute people and companies it simply doesn't like by punishing conduct that occurs outside the US that in many cases has no effect on any US citizen or company.

That said, if you're a high level drug trafficker, and you're not at least using PGP, you deserve whatever you get. This is Darwinism at work. Even normal, non-criminals should be using the strongest encryption they can get their hands on, because no one knows what kind of conduct the government will seek to punish going forward. Prosecutors get more creative every day in applying our extremely broad laws to increasingly wide swaths of behavior.

Not all food is equal. Most of the acre (~4k m²) is needed for high energy crops like wheat or rice. It's pretty efficient to transport those into the cities. They can be stored pretty long and are pretty robust for transport. They're also pretty low price. Vegetables and berries are way more interesting as they're the opposite of all those factors.

I don't know what happened in this particular case, but given how long it took to hash out the details, I would expect that alternative housing was found for the displaced tenants.

I really should ask around; this detail seems to be something that the various newspapers aren't covering.

I agree that having to figure out alternative housing for yourself would be very, very bad for a few classes of tenants. I mention a mitigation in the last sentence of the comment to which you replied. :)
This looks very interesting, but I still don't get how do they avoid concurrency on the switch:

"The switch cannot be concurrently accessed – reads and writes of the switch are strictly ordered". If not with a lock file, maybe a log-based architecture?
Consumption of irrigated water actually plummets with aquaponics (article cites 90% less water use), and, depending on the system, may not even need any fertilizer at all since the fish manure is circulated. You still have to feed the fish, true, but often that is supplemented with byproducts of the final produce production and is not as environmentally damaging as artificially produced nitrogen fertilizers (agriculture standard) anyways.

So, quite frankly, your statement that the efficient distribution of water is fertilizer is more is just wrong.

I'm not saying the tech is perfect or that it can't improve, but if even a fraction of the research dollars were put into this as is put into traditional/industrial research and development, I think aquaponics (especially when designed vertically) will outpace it easily.

I will note that this isn't true for many staple crops like corn, soy, or wheat. But that's not the point. You would need to compare specialty crop production, not commodity crop production.
Interesting quote in the article: “I’ve never seen a company go out of business from dilution, but I have seen companies go out of business because they didn’t raise enough money,” he said.

I've seen companies go out of business because they raised too much money. In those cases the extra money dulled their cost controls and made a subsequent raise "too rich" and nobody who was already invested would take the down round hit. Result everyone lost.
Yeah seems really unfair to publish this without talking to him. Hopefully she did.

Also, not to downplay what they've been through, but her brother's transgressions against the family hardly seem worth kicking him out over. He pawned some musical equipment and tried to sneak whiskey into his room, and left a bruise on her arm? For that they permanently kick him out? I realize he broke into other people's homes and stole from them, and that sucks but he's also paid for those crimes.

Maybe she's leaving out some things he did, I don't know. But to me this article reads like she and her parents are harder on her brother than he deserves. Hopefully it all works out.

> You give up on overclockability

So let's see. Xeons are what I want now. Except for absurd prices. And that they aren't available. And that they don't overclock. And... And...

As I said, I wish there was something that was actually vaguely what I wanted (a desktop processor that's <=4 cores, and focused on single-core CPU performance). The Xeon isn't it.

Also:

> if you're concerned about tdp, you're probably not going to be overclocking anyways.

In a desktop overclocking is a large chunk of the reason why one would be concerned about TDP!

That was a hell of an article! Excellent read.
I've been at it in this industry for over 20 years now and I don't get the kind of clinical burn-out that the author is talking about. I get tired and take a day off, go on vacation or whatever. I also have never had the luxury of being able to go traveling for 6 months (or perhaps I have never just prioritized my life to make that possible).

Perhaps it could be if you have supported yourself with a draining, minimum wage job, and a 2nd one in the evenings, struggling to pay rent, then your tolerance for computer work may be much higher? Whenever I get tired, I just have to remember back to my days of slinging cheeseburgers and I feel content with my current situation.
I see your point here. A principled person might refuse to answer the phone, or call back from the business phone, but that is fairly impractical I would admit.
My only point here was it seems reasonable for the employer to ask for the world. If it's really worth getting spun up, perhaps you could find out if there is a better version of this boiler plate which respects your privacy.

For what it's worth, at my own employer, the phrase is not so open ended, and I suspect it's the same with others:

"Users who use their non-BIGCORP-email (read that as personal) or IM accounts for any BIGCORP business agree to provide BIGCORP with full access to those account, in the event such is necessary to comply with a discovery request or legal mandate"

"Neither Pocket nor users have any right to transform / create derivative works "

Here in the U.S. this kind of copying by end users is probably fair use, which is a defense to copyright infringement. There is a line of cases that authorize home recording of video broadcasts. I think the reasoning upholding this "time shifting" or "format shifting" would also apply to a read it later service.

It is very unlikely that a publisher would ever try to sue an individual reader for using one of these services. It is more likely they would try to shut down the service itself by claiming that the service induces or is liable for contributing to the end-users' copyright infringement. But these claims would fail if what the users are doing is fair use.

The weakness of the U.S.-style fair use concept is that it is a case-by-case determination based on several vague factors. Getting a legal case to the point where this determination is actually made is very expensive, so we don't have much precedent to rely on for new kinds of activities. And what precedent we do have is not always easily extended to new activities or technologies.

There's a nice overview of fair use here if you're curious: http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-u...

Thank you for sharing your strategy for concurrent transactions. It's a very interesting topic :)

I see however some possible pain points in this strategy. My main concerns are:

* This looks to me a lot like some poor (no pun intended) form of MVCC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiversion_concurrency_contr...). Basically, it supports only two "V"s, the "on" and "off", while "normal" MVCC implementations support as many as required.

* Related to the above, I don't see how you can support more than one overlapping tx with this strategy. Sure, I'll keep tuned for the next post on this topic, but I fail to see how --without exclusive locking-- it could be done based on these principles.

* Every read seems like it needs to check the switch. I understand this might be expensive, specially if there is a concurrent modification in progress. Keys are co-located in the node, but they still require random access.

* It looks like even aborted transactions require writes to the database. And every transaction requires at least two writes (the write intent and its consolidation to the key). I don't expect good performance here.

Please help me clarify these questions, specially if I'm missing something. Hope it helps anyway. Thanks!
Unfortunately, they tend to be released after the other versions. And also, they seem to often be "other parts with the iGPU disabled".
Aquaponics critics rarely mention that you can often close much (though not all) of your production loop by feeding the waste products from the final produce back to the fish. And with tilapia (and to a lesser extent catfish), feed sources are trending in the direction of insect meal, which has a super efficient protein conversion rate.

Soy is probably more efficient, but soy is not fish and soy does not promote the healthy growth of other specialty crops like lettuce etc.

But, if you have a study that talks about the efficiency of nitrogen added directly versus the nitrogen that comes from the fish, or how it differs, I would be super curious to read it.

That's a good question. This has been studied at length by many many brilliant minds.
