Mass transit is generally funded progressively, i.e. people with higher incomes pay proportionately more (via taxes) than those with lower incomes. Are you really arguing to make it regressive? There are no virtues to a regressive structure unless you have some serious animus against lower income people.
I'm thinking of the bigger picture here, especially taking into account the way YouTube was unfairly attacked.

The whole point of social media is for users to generate the content and to decide for themselves what makes content good or bad. In the past, advertising would fund the service, targeting specific demographics. It was never seen as endorsement of specific content.

Now advertisers want to start dictating the terms, to decide what specific content they approve of. Social media starts to look like traditional, sponsored, top-down media. This defeats the whole purpose.

Social media is selling out, and we are mistakenly cheering this on as a good thing.
Look at every other comment in this thread. There are real videos of it on YouTube.
There are plenty of left-wing subreddits with equal measures of vitriol. Somehow they avoid earning the same opprobrium that the right-wing ones do. This apparent double standard creates the appearance of bias.

My understanding is that ZFS compresses to multiples of the sector size, so it's the same ratio as innodb page compression gives but ought be much faster and transparent.

My own experiments put tokudb far far ahead:

Unfortunately tokudb has taken a massive performance hit recently - it was so fast when tokutek integrated it into 5.6 but the percona and Mariadb packaging in 5.7 is much slower than innodb - not sure what they haven't done but wish they'd profile and fix it - you'd think that percona, having brought tokutek - would have noticed and benchmarked and care :(

No, and I'd kindly ask you not to attribute such a position to me.

But I'm willing to bet someone does think it's political speech. See also NAMBLA, etc. And consider that gay rights boosters would have been put in the same basket a while ago.

Yes strange that soulseek seems to have been the one that has lasted longest. Probably its just flown under the radar and hence not been targeted legally or otherwise like Napster Kazaa Limewire Edonkey etc . I dont think its in any particular way more technologically advanced.

They could, but they're functionally middlemen for Panasonic, LG, and Samsung (which are the 3 big EV battery manufacturers).

I'm tangentially involved with hot rodders, and a lot of them have spent some time thinking about adding some amount of electrification to their vehicles. Hot rods usually have thermal management problems for their engines and they run the risk of overheating when they're crusing around car shows / parades. Some folks think a small electric motor and battery would be a good way for them to drive short distances slowly and save the engine for higher torque demands.
I call it "Rent Hacking".
I find the subtle whine of an electric motor accelerating me into my seat pretty dang satisfying, to be honest.
Databases that implement their own buffer pools do as they need to avoid "double buffering". But not all databases do this. Postgresql does not, and it actually is built to rely on the OS's normal IO buffering.
You're right - I can't find any other car that can run 8's without modifications. There are some that can achieve those numbers with under $10,000 worth of modifications, but that's kind of irrelevant since we're talking about stock cars.

That's also why I am skeptical of this Tesla running an 8 second pass in stock trim. Is there a video of the pass?

Most of the 8 second cars I've seen are running slicks or drag radials, and usually weigh a lot less.

I'd be curious to see how Tesla managed to make a car that probably weighs over 4000 pounds have enough traction for those numbers using regular tires. Even with all wheel drive, 8 second Nissan GTRs usually have to resort to slicks.
I’m sorry but if you’re advertising on a platform for hate groups, you’re financially supporting them, and I can choose not to do business with you because of it.
The larger point is that TPTB tend to ban groups that want communists thrown from helicopters, but are absolutely fine with groups that want fascists thrown from helicopters.

> politically neutral

There is no such thing as politically neutral when there is money involved. And Reddit owes VC a lot of money.
You can bring money into the US without paying taxes as long as you have an intermediary do so. EX: The trust could buy US property.

You can also sell a security without making that a taxable event which allows you to earn interest from money that would have been paid as taxes. Thus, lowering your lifetime tax bill.

Finally, because of the way our Tax system is setup such that deductions don't apply to say Social Security 'income tax' becomes a bigger deal for the rich. So, gaming the system becomes more viable the more money you have.
> All in all, it sounds like it would provide most of the IDE experience to VS Code. The only annoying part would be that you'll have to extract the compile flags from your build system yourself, but that's not usually too big of a deal.

This can be done similar to what rtags does (hooking into gcc/clang invocations). Alternatively if you use ninja this relatively simple by generating a compile_commands.json file.

ninja -C out/Release -t compdb cxx cc > compile_commands.json

My eventual plan is to automate compile_commands.json generation if using ninja, so cquery is install and go.

I have one too. I love it.

I was blown away when I was able to write some technical specifications in emacs, render them to PDF and share them to the device, then go for a coffee and review my work. I can markup my documents, sync them back to my machine, etc.

I do wish the resolutions of the documents on my desktop were better. I've drafted presentations on the device while thinking. I vastly prefer paper for thinking. This device is perfect for that.

I just wish I could do more with it. I want to be able to hook up a cloud service to interpret my math hand-writing, run it on my theorem prover or checker, and return the results, etc.... much like what people were doing in Xerox Parc ages ago.

There's so much potential here.
Probably not a popular opinion but this Tesla business feels like what I imagine being cult or Ponzi scheme would feel like.
I assumed their cost per mile included maintenance which is pretty standard to do.

To do 2 year payback would be 400k miles a year, which is impossible without nearly 24/7 driving, which could be possible with automation but unlikely they are figuring that.

Those truckers you linked are saying 10,000 a month is realistic without pushing it for long haul OTR so that 120k a year still at least 7 year payback.
Reddit's problems go far deeper than just the type of content they have though. Specifically, the fact that it creates a space for polarizing opinions and encourages groupthink through the upvote system would seem to be anathema to what most advertisers are looking for. Perhaps they can start running the same advertisers as Alex Jones and Breitbart who don't seem to be as shy of divisive content.

'Slippery slope' arguments are not inherently invalid.
Although C++ has lots of warts, I still really like the language mainly thanks to the tooling around it. It has had very good IDEs for years and when I see some of the advancements in debuggers and profilers for more modern languages I feel that they are still quite behind.

Note that this server is based on libclang. This is good because having a good language support means that you have to practically write a compiler for it, using an actual compiler is the best way.

However, it is true that I have always used a full fledged IDE – mostly Qt Creator. I never had courage to configure Vim for it and now I will not invest in that. But if a good and fast language server for it existed a few years back I would definitely jump on it.
Is it really easier to believe that Russian bots are behind the lion's share of this content rather than other westerners?
That's the view of the atonement as presented in fundamentalist / evangelical circles. Reduced to snarky absurdity, but the theology is itself absurd.

Perhaps this is different than your own experience or reading, but it doesn't make this experience less valid. Considering this is the dominant form of Christianity in the US, I think it's safe to say the snarky statement above accurately describes Christianity as how a majority of us experienced it.

My childhood spent in a very restrictive environment, and watching how "Christians" behave, definitely gives me the right to speak on behalf of Christianity, and the right to reject it completely as the fraud it is. I understand it completely well.

All I have to do is observe what they do. From the near-abuses of my own experience, to how the Orthodox have been perfectly willing to embrace Putin and other cruel leaders, to how women and gay people are frequently treated. There's the cruelty dispensed by the faithful over the millennia. In your own response there's no shred of Christ's love or humility. You offer nothing but cold, empty judgements rushing to defend and insult.

All of this shows there is little to nothing of worth in the system, and wasting hours of my irreplaceable life reading men (and it's always men) debate how many angels can fit atop a pin, is not going to convince me otherwise.
Feel free to provide examples of the double standard.

Is stupid to expect ad-driven media properties to be neutral. Just dumb.

Reddit is an ad-supported system. The moment you take advertising, you are now required to maintain editorial control. And that's fine. Advertisers have strict content guidelines, things like: no blood, no violence, no gore, no porn, etc..

Do you think a company like Calvin Klein is going to want to put their fashion ad next to an image of a dead kid? Yah that's not happening.

Instead of setting the expectation on corporations, we need the public to understand what their support of ad-driven media properties mean. And that it's fine.

Reddit isn't a public service. It's not a charity. It's an ad-driven media property, like a TV show or magazine. That's it.

And if conservatives can't accept advertising-based media, they need to find some other outlet to express their views.

Let me put it another way: Do you really think Calvin Klein is going to want to put ads next to images of dead kids? Is that your expectation? If not, how do you expect Reddit to become a profitable company?

Of course, Reddit & Twitter isn't going to state that they're an ad-driven media property, since they want to "appear" unbiased and neutral, but that's completely false. They are absolutely responsible to their advertisers as their core business plan.

You're a fanboy. Being good in one industry doesn't mean you can plan for entire other industries and magically determine their domain knowledge or change the way that industry does its business.

I generally like what Musk is doing and think that Tesla is doing pretty great work, but he's not perfect and the pain points people are discussing in these threads are in no way unfounded. It's better to listen to the feedback and concerns in order to improve, rather than just fellating God-Engineer Musk and proclaiming his infallibility.
Oh absolutely. That car is almost certainly a tube frame with a fiberglass shell.....was what I was going to say but then I looked into it and actually it's still sheet metal and weighs 3800 pounds. It has run a 6.987, and probably has north of 2,000 horsepower. Oh and it is street legal.
Isn't a contemporary nvidia GPU essentially a vector machine with predication and scatter/gather? In CUDA it's just hidden behind the "SIMT" programming model.

If so, there's no fundamental reason why you couldn't make a decent GPU based on risc-v + the vector extension. Just make the cores themselves relatively modest, no reason to waste die area on OoO logic, and have lots of hardware threads to drive memory parallelism. Oh, and gobs of memory BW.

Though IIRC Intel had to have some fixed function blocks, and IIRC other GPU's also have some of them left.

I also recall reading about Larrabee suffering from a lot of internal BW being wasted on cache coherency traffic, but with risc-V having a weaker memory consistency model perhaps that would be less of a problem for a hypothetical "risc-v gpu"?

This is the thing: I'm also a paying customer, I just don't pay as much. But I'd like to pay for more security/less compatibility, instead of the other way around.

This should also be very easy to do e.g. by noticing whether you are in a setting where there is any risk of the scenario you say. If it's a home machine for example, then don't worry about compatibility, focus on security.

Kant isn't directly used in ways which oppress or abuse people. His works are generally not used as the foundation of unpleasant systems. Children are not raised to think of Kant as infallible, nor are they punished for failing to follow his dictates.

People criticize religion without extensively reading the theology because religion is a lived experience in a way that Kant isn't.
You're still missing the point, in the context of the severe deficit of book translations in the modern Arab world: The Caliph's order --as chronicled-- reveals a certain attitude towards books other than the Koran.
I worked as Director of Engineering for an investor[1] who helped bootstrap StartCom. StartCom was back then the first successful firm from the Authenticity Institute portfolio. I joined Authenticity because I thought it could really shake up the certification industry.

I quit after 6 months when I learned that the equity based contracts were designed to scam the engineers that I hired. Also I dared to raise concerns over bringing StartCom founder Eddy Nigg back into the company for advise on how to build a sound infrastructure (fit for ETSI & WebTrust certification).

Management there has a thing for "hiring struggling entrepreneurs" and then phishing them for their ideas with promise of equity which is never paid out. There were also a range of other issues such as racist coworkers (which I fired in my first week) and a refusal from the founder to face up to these issues.

One applicant was made promises, then stalled on the contract and when she quit her original job was told on her first day of work that her salary negotiation hasn't even started. I was let go (or I quit with a bang depending who you ask) because I dared to point out they're all crooks.

I personally don't see how trust can every be implemented in systems when it is owned by a company which can be acquired with M&A and the same bad apples who cash out from projects are then investing in similar companies.

Welcome to open source, where people work on what benefits them.

If Microsoft are the only people seriously interested in maintaining the ability to run Node on ChakraCore as well as V8, of course the team of people working on the necessary abstractions will be mostly Microsoft employees.

Of course, since V8 runs on Windows, not a huge number of people are going to be demanding ChakraCore support - but Microsoft presumably believe they have, or are developing, sufficiently awesome JS runtime technology to make this worth investing in. And it's not like it's worth Microsoft's time to invest in making Node also run on whatever Mozilla's JS engine is called at the moment (I've lost track). But their work on Chakra support presumably would make that a lot easier for someone who wanted to come along and support a third runtime engine.

And it does benefit the whole ecosystem to not be 100% reliant on V8.
Have you seen the industry of livestreaming? That's basically it. I'm not saying it's a good business model but people are making a ridiculous amount of money from it.
Shit Reddit Says (r/srs) is a good example of this.

By the way, I'm dead, right?
How many engineers and executives from 1990-1998 do you suppose are still working full-time at Microsoft today? I'd place my money on it being a single digit percentage.

Pre early 1990s, Microsoft had a modest amount of market power and wasn't infamous for abusive tactics. Post anti-trust years, Microsoft's competitive abuses contracted to negligible levels by necessity.

So out of ~42 years of existence, they abused their temporary monopoly position for about ten of those. And you can't let any of that go, even after two decades. That doesn't seem overly dramatic to you?
