Seems very misguided.
Looking through your comment history, you might want to stop making sweeping generalisations about Europe and then refusing to say which countries you mean.

It very well may be.
Ceph is extraordinarily complicated to run correctly. The docs aren't great and commercial support is pretty mediocre.

It's an amazing piece of software, but takes a great deal of engineering to get right. Most folks won't invest that much engineering into their storage.

This is why Providers like EMC and NetApp can extract 10x the cost of the raw storage from enterprises.
If you use an open-source service like CallPower, and i'm sure there are others like it, it's trivial to track call-through rates.
Have you considered a cease and desist? I think the name is sufficiently similar to cause confusion.
Wow. I can't tell if you're trying to be funny by being meta or you just don't realize what you just said applies to your very argument. Lets break it down.

You want to protect free speech by taking it away because if you don't then someone might use free speech to take away free speech.

First, speech is not an action that can violate your rights. Sticks and stones, etc. And no, just because communication can help organize your political opposition does not mean the speech itself is violating your rights. Actions and legislation do that.

Second, deciding that some things are allowed and some aren't and then enforcing those arbitrary decisions through violence by the state certainly can violate those rights. And and gets easier and more every time.

I suppose you think that limited free speech is a thing that can persist. I strongly disagree. The idea of universe free speech is because any attempt to regulate leads to the loss of all of it fairly quickly if not instantly; they only need to win once. It exists to protect opinions that are disliked by most if not all.

I see your argument is basically that if free speech allows for speech that supports the idea of not allowing free speech then it will fail. And that may be true. That's why constant villigance is required even, especially, when they try to use people who's opinion almost everyone hates to justify it. There is no final solution.
> to audit our code and practices annually and publish a public report confirming we're doing what we said we would

Some exec to developer: Hey John, KPMG wrote to us that they will be here on friday to make an audit, lets just remove those 10 lines that <do whatever that you don't want to be shown in audit> until audit finishes.

I don't want to imply anything about Cloudflare here, just a comment about how useful that kind of private audits are generally.
> a vector would likely be more efficient due to better memory locality

Vector’s memory locality only matters when you’re iterating over the elements. For this case it’s essentially a random index.

Besides, unordered_map memory locality is fixable: https://github.com/Const-me/CollectionMicrobench
The arbitration clause is an overarching thing. The customer agrees to it when they legitimately open an account. It covers the entire banking relationship between that customer and the bank. Which is why Wells was able to use it to prevent litigation from their existing customer over the fraudulent accounts.
I do put TVs on a separate VLAN and also cameras, phones, IoT stuff (those get the SEWER VLAN). I run a pfSense router and am seriously considering SSL splice in Squid in transparent mode for some of that lot. SSL Splice is nearly a MitM but does not need trustable faked SSL certificates, but you do get more logging and the ability to make certain URLs vanish. Now if the security of the device is crap enough to believe faked certs then why not try the full Bump and see what the bloody thing is really up to ...

If nothing else my SEWER VLAN has a very strange view of DNS (thanks pfBlocker) and a rather limited view of the internet as a whole.

You mean that there exists at least one hash such that hashFunc(paragraph+hash) = hash? Yup, that probability converges to 1-exp(-1) = 63%. So it's no guarantee, but if you have some wiggle room in the paragraph (change the wording slightly etc) you can probably make it work.

The issue with Ceph isn't that it's some how deficient. It's amazing. The problem is that it's difficult to engineer correctly and hard to troubleshoot.

There is no other software, open source or otherwise that works quite as well as Ceph for providing durability and scale.

ScaleIO gets high marks for block storage performance compared to Ceph. It's not quite as durable and lacks some other features, but people seem to like it.

I moved away from Las Vegas for many of the same reasons as OP:

The Heat:
While LV heat is much dryer than Florida's, I hope to never live where it gets so hot ever again. I would push myself to fight the heat and be outside in spite of it, but there's only so much fight.

The Pollution:
Only a few, select zip codes have decent air quality in LV. Where I worked, on the strip, mixed disgusting air quality with the highest heat in the valley.

Everywhere you go the sun will beat down on you, the air will offer no comfort, and there will be no shade.

The Violence:
I lived in a fine apartment in a fine area (with mansions and golf courses nearby). The cops nonetheless shot and killed the occupant in the apartment immediately above me one night - while I was in my apartment downstairs. He deserved it, too, but that doesn't change my perception of the violence in LV. A woman was hit and killed by a car just outside of the complex one weekend. I worked on the strip the night of the Oct 1 shooting massacre, too. But that's just the tip of the violence problem in LV. People treat one another with so much contempt and hostility in everyday life there. They will actually come up to you, tell you they do not like you, and that they will do everything they can to destroy you. And they will do it often. You will probably have never met this person before their threat, and have done nothing to earn their hate.

Healthcare:
I had mixed experiences with doctors there. I had doctors tell me they did not believe I had the symptoms I described - because I'm a guy. But I also finally got a chronic condition under control with a doctor there, too. Of course, that doctor will still, to this day, suggest we stop treatment at the slightest misstatement from me. Financially though, I once had a doctor send my bill to collections before ever actually billing me. Within days of treatment his collections agency contacted me - as though I were a problem patient. Then, years back, a gastroenterologist was found sharing medical supplies between patients. I forget the numbers, but he gave many people HIV/hepatitis/etc that way.

Options:
It took a long time after the great recession for LV to recover. I'm sure it will not fare well during the next recession.
Elon Musk: Tesla Goes Bankrupt (April 1)
This isn't just about Uber -- all semi-autonomous cars are going to have this problem. The people behind the wheel will become distracted, increasingly so as the technology becomes better and they need to intervene less and less often. Even people who are trained to pay attention while testing self-driving cars become distracted, so we can assume the general public will become distracted too.

The only viable autonomous cars are ones that will never require human intervention, because humans aren't able to intervene effectively and may make situations worse as they snap out of a distracted state. But we can't get to full autonomy without first testing the technology, and no artificial test conditions could replicate the complexity of the real world. Society will either learn to accept some avoidable deaths during the testing phase or will ban the technology. I suspect a few more incidents will result in a ban, and we will not have fully autonomous cars for a very long time.
You've probably heard of this, but if not this might be an interesting link: http://www.consciousentities.com/bats.htm

Farringdon.

Apart from the obvious (weather etc), it's even hard to say. The city just feels harsh to me. One of the things that I first noticed when I moved here was how it's uncommon to find places to sit when you're out and about. If you're out all day you can't just sit in some bench and rest a bit because they're virtually non-existent. You have to go into a coffee shop. I think it's loads of tiny things like that.

Maybe that wasn't very convincing...

EDIT: Of course also the rents. I'm lucky enough that I have big windows to the park, but I'm paying an absurd fortune. The alternative is moving to the periphery where I have to spend 1 hour on the tube each way and when I go home I'm worring that I'm gonna get stabbed.
“The author is projecting his vapidity on the whole human race.”

Yes. Thank you.

Does the author think nobody knows how a fridge works, and actually there is nothing to know?

I recognized immediately in the metaphor of “selves as fictional characters” that the author would be arguing we are all “spin all the way down” — just stories we tell ourselves.

If you work on stripping away the stories, you will find there is a “you” underneath, after all.

A lot of the things we tell ourselves are not true, but that doesn’t mean there is no truth of the matter. You can even ask yourself, when you are telling yourself a story, is that really true? And you may find yourself answering, “Well, no...” You have to at least believe in yourself (so to speak) to make progress in knowing yourself, getting along with yourself, and loving yourself.
>It's worth pointing out that KPMG was Wells Fargo's independent auditor while the bank recently committed fraud on a massive scale by creating more than a million fake deposit accounts and 560,000 credit card applications for customers without their knowledge or approval.[1]

Why is it worth point out? Please detail the work you've done in establilshing that KPMG had access to the data and willfully ignored it.
On the surface, you are right, it appears international students help cross-subsidize domestic students and I would even concede that this is true when you look at the immediate impact ceteris paribus. However, I also think you have to consider the fact that NPV of college education even at full tuition is positive. And that NPV actually declines quite a bit as you move down the quality axis which comes back to my point of displacing domestic students who now face lower NPV and lower quality education. Supply is always limited. I understand it cuts both ways but the current dynamic is very much one sided in my view.
One of my college classmates moved about 15 years ago from working for NASA to Europe to work for ESA, I think the decision process is different for African Americans, one has to think about how one or one's child is more likely to be killed by a policeman than a terrorist in the United States (when the President cites terrorism as some existential threat to be addressed by national immigration policies versus no action on police), no matter what your status is, it was not that different for James Baldwin or Richard Wright than it is today.
I don't think end customer cares about why is his experience broken. Following a process that accepts things being broken, but shifts the responsibility doesn't fix anything. Op's question is a great sign of ownership and customer obsession on his side.

The actuall solution is tough, but I think something can be improved. First of all I would try to measure and root cause the problem. It's hard for me to believe that the DB has 90% availability, I'm not aware of any commercial DB that's this bad. I would avoid creating shards of db, it will lead to hard to debug data inconsistencies. In this regard, cache with reasonable TTL is a better choice wince it guarantees eventual consistency of the data. I would also take a deep look into retry approaches you can take, something like exponential backoff with jitter and properly adjusted number of retries can greatly increase your availability.
At this point I’ll believe it when I see an independently confirmed measurement of a working prototype. This stuff seems to be perpetually 20 years out.
Like other fusion projects all of this is pure speculation, sadly.

However, I truly think it is wonderful that there seems to be a resurgence in the area of nuclear fusion. After Fukushima any project that had "nuclear" in its name was put on hold for political reasons and it's good to see that people don't have cold feet anymore.
Both Uber and Tesla try to discredit the victim before any official investigation ends, and in both cases it’s quite clear they will try to cover their asses first. And they have all the data. How can we be sure they don’t selectively hide something or don’t tamper with the records before giving them to investigators?
I sadly have to agree with you. Regardless of how much we (Europeans) unify the law, the language barrier will still be there for a long time :(

Having said that, in many cases language is not that big of an issue - for example, if you're doing software as a service, or mobile apps, doing them in english, gives you access to the global market from the day one.

An interesting case is Fintech/Crypto - over there it makes a big difference where you begin, US and EU legal/financial systems being so different. In US, you have the advantage of the language uniformity, but in EU, arguably, the law is much more uniform between the countries - if you get a financial license to run in one of the countries, it allows you to operate in all of them. Also, the laws are uniform, although their execution isn't.

Where US really shines is anything physical (e.g. consumer electronics), and anything local (AirBnB, Meetup.com, and so on) - with these, people expect the service to be in their local language, but I feel it's less and less every year.
Isn't the court system mostly powered by the threat of serious jail time if you're found to be lying, and penalties for your lawyers, too?

If you say "We don't have those logs," and you swear to it and a lawyer puts their name on the filing, it's not like Judge Alsup will start pentesting your company to find the one employee who accidentally has Dropbox pointed at an sftp mount of some production server.

It's the "year of Linux on the desktop" of alternative power.
Nuclear fusion substantially eliminates the "meltdown" risk associated with contemporary fission-based nuclear energy sources.

But it's no panacea [1], there's still substantial radioactive waste produced and radiation hazards to those working near the reactor.

If you operate under the assumption that we should pursue nuclear energy, then this is great. But if you operate under the assumption that between solar wind and storage, we have everything we need without any radioactive waste or radiation hazards to workers, this is pretty uninteresting beyond academic purposes.

So I have no problem with network storage. I have a cost problem (the project I'm working on is not intended to make a bunch of money and I'm trying to keep costs low so I can keep prices extremely low). What you're describing would functionally be even more expensive than just using S3 directly, if it were to be done in AWS or in GCS.

Right now the leading (uncomfortable) solution is probably DigitalOcean Spaces and a little bit of prayer.
This is what I'm using for the past year or so, running daily as a cronjob: https://gitlab.com/tombrossman/TwitterDeleteMost

You can whitelist specific tweets to keep, and set a threshold for favorites or retweets above which the tweets are preserved. For example, if you tweet something and ten people retweet it, the script will save it forever. If you tweet something that no one retweets or favorites, it's gone after 30 days. I call it a 'socially curated' feed, since old tweets are basically worthless to anyone but strangers wanting to profile you.

Looks like the only way to do this is to proxy all request to the static server through an authentication server, and you could write the authentication server in any language.

> In general terms, fusion reactors would create far less radioactive material than a fission reactor, the material it would create is less damaging biologically, and the radioactivity "burns off" within a time period that is well within existing engineering capabilities for safe long-term waste storage.

There's really no comparison; fusion is vastly cleaner and safer.
Only slightly related- but what endevours would become at how much energy output per $ Helium inserted viable? Has that been studied?

There must be a curve, where it can be estimated at what cost-point fission and solar are out- and for example growing ressources in vats becomes cheaper then farming/ chopping down natural grown wood.

What other "uneconomic" endavours become feasible with fusion at what price?
