Also, how would similar functions even be enough? The average Perl script I had was full of special operators, etc. (they all changed and are impossible to Google anyway). And code bases have more than enough churn without being fundamentally rewritten multiple times to do the same thing.
But what if smart kettles would became so popular that regular kettles would not be produced anymore? How would you replace it then? Or, more importantly: how about "smart" lightbulbs, door locks, refridgerators? Those are much harder to replace.

That is true, but the masons of today are not the masons of the 18th century. They may as well be completely different organizations. Then there's the problem of pinning a murder on an entire society vs. specific individuals who are members of said society.
Has either of the above ever happened historically, not counting jumps of just 1 person?
Mary Lee Berners-Lee obituary
I don't think the states should have much power over this particular market. Insurance definitionally crosses state bounds. If I get in a car accident in Kentucky, Florida blue still pays my bills. This is clearly a federal commerce clause issue. If that's the case, the Feds should bust the limits.

Specifically I was replying to the idea of incorporating a large group outside the bounds of a company for insurance purposes. As it stands, the states may block it.
Short answer is "yes", but I would keep in mind that Kubernetes isn't just one monolithic tool, it's a toolbox and you don't have to use all of its features for everything.

It's absolutely fine to pin your Postgres to a handful of pre-selected hosts with locally attached storage fully exposed to a Postgres container. Yes, this won't be semi-magically "moving databases around" (not needed in most cases) but you'll still be getting other k8s benefits I listed above.

But even if you feel adventurous and want to have a fully dynamic storage under your RDBMS, there are tools for this now in open source / commercially supported form [1].

There’s a technical term for PPP - Public Private Partnership which isn’t exactly what’s happening with HQ2 but the effects are similar. In other words, even though HQ2 isn’t literally a train station, a campus that size functions in many ways like public infrastructure.

I have seen enough "brilliant stuff that I can't talk about" in my career that I think you really can't ignore military/paramilitary R&D spending. But nor can you really measure the innovation that comes out of it, since countries are largely going to keep their coolest, newest stuff as national secrets.

The innovation you can see and experience in a product like Facebook or VKontakte is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the unseen tech from the three-letter agencies of many different countries, that are mining, scraping, and reducing the data.

But there's a lot of anti-innovation going on in that sector too, I'm sure.

1. You can't create new bitcoin at any time - not after all blocks are mined
2. Same as bitcoin, Gold needs to be mined. This is basically "conjuring" gold.
3. Wiped cryptocurrency can be returned.
4. Gold can be destroyed as well.
2.0% blended pricing wouldn't cover the interchange for Amex, VISA Signature Cards or Mastercard World Elite. 0.9% wouldn't cover anything except durbin debit cards.

If you're big enough you do interchange plus pricing where the interchange is passed through and small processing fee is added. Blended rates are for small companies.
Is it just me or did they just cancel BTC support as it fails to provide what BTC was touted to give to the people?

In turn doesn't this imply mined coins as they are pretty much are useless for anyone except those having monetary assets in the first place?
How is that different than successfully trying to enforce Net Neutrality at the national level over network connections between US and other countries? If one is possible so is the other.
That's a fairly accurate characterization of San Antonio. The talent pool is somewhat limited and often very specialized. The city is sprawling, so public transit is a bit lacking. SAT isn't really a major international airport, so most major destinations require changing planes at a bigger airport.

It could be argued that UTSA is starting to count as a major university, with recent expansion and investments. But the CS program has yet to really prove itself.
Fascinating point. Could this hold true for Bitcoin in some way, in the future?
This is the main reason Litecoin exists. Strange that they decided not to use it...
Agreed, but I'd say automation also opens up new opportunities as well.

It's not so simple. You only need one exchange, anywhere in the world, that will exchange Monero for non-banned cryptos, and the market will flow freely.
> The FCC's repeal of net neutrality contains a preëmption clause preventing state and local governments from imposing their own inconsistent restrictions (1), and it will be using its authority under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution to defend it (2). I understand their claim to be that it's impracticable to distinguish between interstate and intrastate network traffic, and that states would only have authority to constrain the latter. (3)

Traffic isn't being regulated, packages of services offered to customers in pure intrastate commerce, however, are.

> I'm not sure how my dear state of California is working around that, or if this action is just kicking off a ball that will be headed directly to the courts.

The bill with actual content (SB 460) includes both a direct neutrality mandate (which will be challenged on the ground you suggest), and a prohibition on state agencies contracting for internet services from providers that don't make a binding (that is, “criminal to violate” commitment to adhere to neutrality in their offerings in the state.)

Of course, both the FCCs own order (already being challenged) and the laws in response (like every previous policy action on neutrality) are inevitably headed to the courts. That's not in question.

I could imagine something like the current 'upvoted submissions / comments' section on the profile page, e.g. 'moderated submissions / comments'. I assume that your moderation tools are already tracking this sort of thing for you, because y'all often comment, 'as we've already asked you,' reaching back months or years into the past. You must already have something like this, due to how y'all comment in response to posts (presumably you don't have photographic memories!).

Although I'm thinking of a private implementation, lobste.rs is also doing some interesting work with public moderation: all moderator actions are public & documented with an ostensible justification by the moderator. That is at least completely open: User X did Y on date Z; he did A on date B; in response to this Moderator 1 executed action 2 on date 3 (and that action could itself be reviewed by some higher authority).

> The reason we don't often include specific links in moderation replies is that it's significantly more work, and these things already consume a huge amount of time, energy, and spirit.

I understand that, but please consider the spirit of someone who is implicitly threatened with a ban by someone in a position of power. He has no idea why he's offended, how often he's offended, and he's scared for what will happen: he's invested time to build up a reputation, and the moderator stands ready to destroy all that. We need moderators online much as we need police in the real world — but interactions online with moderators are just as stressful as interactions with police offline. This is all completely orthogonal to whether or not the moderator's actions are fair or correct. There's a strong power imbalance, and I think it's fair for moderators to be cognizant of that.

There's a huge difference between 'as I asked you once three years ago and once two years ago, but you can't really be expected to remember' and 'as we've asked you twice this week,' even though both are multiple warnings. Pointing out the magnitude of the issue can go a long way to reducing the stress of the situation to its appropriate level.
Consider that many appliances might be equipped with such data feeds. Consider that it might be time consuming or impossible to find a device without them.

If your kettle is deemed an interesting part of the national power infrastructure, it might even become legally mandated. I've read stories that suggest the UK power authorities watch carefully when... Dancing with the stars? finishes, because 15 seconds later, 20% of the nation puts the kettle on. It has already been suggested that "smart" thermostats might be a nice requirement, so the power company mothership can (Voluntarily, of course! initially...) reset your temperature to shape load.

If your kettle and your fridge and your thermostat and your toilet and your alarm clock and your television and your front door and your car and your vacuum and your..... are all chirping little pixels of your life picture to the mothership, you are surveiled to a degree beyond the erotic dreams of the Stasi.

Further: this bleak picture presumes that all of these little fomites are well implemented. In point of fact, many of them are wide open gateways to black hats.
At the same time, Monero functions basically the same way cash does in this scenario. Most cryptocurrencirs do not, though.

The feature I'm talking about is a compile-time constraint. The sole purpose of it is to make development and refactoring easier by providing immediate feedback to the developer when they change code in a way incompatible with its interface. It is not really about providing global run-time guarantees. Solving evolving messages through deployment is really a separate topic, and something you have to do whether you have compile time checks or not.

Bitcoin Cash did exactly that. New value was conjured up out of nowhere - Bitcoin didn't drop, and every owner of a Bitcoin suddenly had $2-3k worth of Bitcoin Cash.

... What? Are you sitting on a SHA-256 exploit we don't know about?
A sequence isn't a unique key. It's not data integrity. It's just a sane default. There's nothing stopping an application from inserting a specific value, and so, without a unique constraint, there's nothing stopping an application from inserting a duplicate value. There's a world of difference between a sane default and a enforced constraint. Half the point of an RDBMS is that the database cannot store inconsistent or invalid data. You mark a column as unique and you don't have to worry about it again. You can't store a duplicate value unless the database is corrupt.

Yes, if the applications using the database have no bugs and always work as expected, then you won't have any duplicates. However, that line of reasoning leads to just 100% trusting everything the application does regardless of the design of the data model. That's exactly how data stores used to work before RDBMSs, and it's exactly why RDBMSs came about: applications can't be trusted to manipulate data consistently to a known set of rules. Somebody will mess it up somewhere, so it's important to enforce rules to leave the database in a manner that other applications (or other parts of the same application) will find comprehensible.
> the point is whether the increasing marginal costs of enforcement are worth it to the government and society

The same applies to cash. Investigating them is expensive. We don't bust the kid who fails to report the proceeds from their lemonade stand because (a) it's too small and (b) it's too mean.

> privacy coins + tumblers + crypto + VPNs + TOR will make it very hard for a government to punish motivated individuals

Analogs for each of these exist for cash. None of this is new, it's just shinier. (In any case, now you're talking about willful money laundering.)
The timing for the drive through made our life very difficult at the McDonald's I worked at. Managers would frequently clear orders not yet finished off of the screen just so the system registered a faster time completed. We would then have to carry around the receipt to try and figure out what the person ordered. In the worst of cases we'd have to pass the receipt to the grill area to get food made.

All of our drive through times were complete bullshit because of this. Even during slow times where we'd have just a car every few minutes managers would IMMEDIATELY clear them off as they just need to "remember" the order. Which, as you can guess, increased wrong order complaints but those are also not sent to corporate so they never cared.
> I would argue that the EU is, generally, more progressive than the US when it comes to immigrants and trans folks.

Is this is the same EU where people of turkish descent who lived in germany for 3 generations are still not considered german and where european politicians of african descent get bananas thrown at them? Where in europe are trans people treated better than in the US? Or are you talking about generations of north african immigrants who are confined to ghettos in france and who are pretty much barred from any positions of power? Or are you talking about the african immigrants in spain who are pretty much relegated to rummaging through garbage or prostitution? Europe isn't a utopia people love to pretend it is. All the monkey chants and racist vitriol directed at black and asian soccer players at soccer games should make that obvious.
Hmm. 7.6 kW for a human of something around 76 kg (makes calculating easier, reality should be 80-85). That means you'd need about 100W/kg... or, to lift a car of 1t, 100 kW. Should be do-able with a modern biturbo engine and by cutting some weight.

This entire thought process assumes that tax incentives and such are the difference maker in this process. That it's an auction that goes to the highest bidder. This is highly inconsistent with Amazon's approach for long-term projects.

Do they want their HQ2 home to have some skin in the game? For sure. But what form does that take?

Suppose a city could offer Amazon $50MM in tax credits over some duration of time. Suppose another city offered to invest into local infrastructure investment -- roads, transit, broadband, etc. While $50MM is a lot of money (even to Amazon), the second alternative is much more appealing.

The HQ2 winner is going to be someone who is forward-thinking, not just whoever rounded up the best gift basket.
Wait, you don't think Finland produces radically more innovation than the US?

I mean comeon, everything about CRISPR, AI, VR/AR, automation, mobile software, Internet software, Internet services, media technology, space tech, biotech, military tech, video gaming, it's all pouring out of Finland at a far higher rate than the US.

I'll say that Finland is very obviously a wonderful country on most metrics. No question about that at all. They aren't even remotely in the same league as the US on innovation or invention. It's the same exact bullshit you run into when people compare Sweden vs the US, it makes no sense on scale. For the same reason, comparing Finland to the US on innovation, is an absurdity, a nation of 5 million vs a nation of 330 million. You could compare Massachusetts to Finland perhaps, or Sweden. The US should be compared against larger entities (EU, Eurozone, Germany, France, China, Japan, Russia, etc.), or otherwise assessed at the state level of elite outcomes vs small nation elite outcomes. There's just as large of a gap between Massachusetts and Louisiana, as there is Sweden and Romania.
Agree; Costco is far more palatable on a Tuesday at 7 PM than on a weekend.

That's a reasonable question. You're absolutely correct that security is often highly dependent on account configuration, but Google has invested more into security than any other mail provider and my ridiculous prediction is that their anomaly detection powered by their all-powerful compute network is only going to create a bigger gap there.

For most people, the biggest risk is a troll abusing account recovery or weak 2FA settings to hijack your email account, pivot to other accounts, and wreck your online life. In those cases, you're probably safe w/ a strongly configured Fastmail account (although there have been some recent issues brought to light around Fastmail's account recovery practices [1])

The success didn't cure my depression. The success meant I had the independence and financial ability to address the problems in my life that caused my depression.

Are people mostly positive about this? I was already using DDG - then I get an unexpected pop up asking for permission to rewrite everything. I think we should develop a reflex to routinely refuse to give popups permission - so now I've lost DDG in the search bar.

I would much rather that it stayed as a non-evil search provider rather than bundling ABP/Ghostery. Maybe I'm in a minority wanting separation of concerns?

Or maybe it really is better than ABP and Ghostery and I've missed it by being put off by the delivery mechanism?

I don't know why this point seems to escape people in SF, LA, Seattle, etc. If you're homeless, you're gonna want to be where the most benefits and relaxed attitudes toward homelessness are. It's not hard to understand why this problem is at its worst in the most progressive cities.
