I can relate to your sentiment of being content with what you have. I gave up my smartphone, I canceled all paid subscription services, I use linux and open source software for everything.

Basically, it's difficult for me to imagine personally paying for any type of SAAS offering, so when I'm working on a project with a paid model, sometimes I have to employ a 'suspension of disbelief' because I'm working on something that I know I probably wouldn't be willing to pay for (not because it sucks, just because I'm hesitant to pay for any software or online service).
He's saying the crime is worse than the punishment. The term is too soft compared to what they're doing.

Yes, this is definitely something we're planning to once we get closer to a v1 of all the parts. Today it's probably a bit too early but specifications are a core part of our general pipeline (but we can still get better)

The goal is to end up with standardized implementations so we can have multiple implementations and a open protocol.

You realize this is not how it works? SpaceX is a pioneer: they show the path, others follow. There is no dependency on innovation.

Also, NASA can't do any of this, which is why the US government is giving funds to SpaceX. Plus what about the real dependency of the NASA on political agenda and budget votes?
The crux of the prohibition argument is this:

> Human trafficking, coercion and violence is a side-effect of a desire creating a market.

But this will never be a legitimate market. We're talking about money being exchanged for sex with children. That is inherently violent, and has absolutely nothing to do with whatever market may or may not exist.

The argument against prohibition is that making the thing illegal is more harmful than regulating it. That's not the case with murder, and it's not the case with human trafficking — any occurrence of it is harmful, regardless of how you regulate it.
You're thinking a lot further in the future. Company valuations are based on real money today. There are no dyson swarms or Mars colonies. Tesla launches communication satellites into low earth orbit and that is how its worth is calculated.

Oh, they absolutely do, and when we're lucky they actually catch them on their own before they get to code review. Some folks reach for tools like Bullet [0] and, that's great, but unfortunately, sometimes they treat that tooling like the Holy Gospel. They develop an over-reliance on them as if those tools exist to offload critical thinking. Drives me crazy... in my experience, it's been hard to combat this type of thing, too. The pace of "agile," the calculus between paying down technical debt and mentoring and progress, I don't really know why but I haven't had a lot of long-term luck.

> One of the problems, in my opinion, is that SQL isn't "cool" or hip and by many seen as not important to learn.

I think you're really right about that. I happen to like writing SQL quite a bit and I take a little bit of pride in that I kind of sort of actually understand a little about what is going on in the database and even then I neglect that skill. I picked up copies of both "SQL Anti-Patterns" and "SQL Performance Explained" based on recommendations from this thread and am eager to get in to them this weekend. Still lots to learn... And, I have some SQL problems that I can see coming up over the horizon today and I hope this gives me the edge I need to start grappling with them sooner rather than later.

Came here to say the same. Pimsleur is also excellent for pronunciation and I have this feeling that once I learned something from the course, I never forget it. It just sticks, even after months or years. It is also most similar to how babies learn - without grammar, reading and writing, just by dialogue.

Dat and Beaker seems to be more focused on building products than us currently (I work on IPFS) so the more consumer friendly UIs does not surprise me. However, we're (Protocol Labs) are trying to build standardized protocols that can be shared across projects rather than just for us, hence it's currently more focused on lower-level technologies. With that said, we also have higher-level projects, most of them can be found over here: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/

Iridium's problem was they didn't know who they were marketing service to. It seemed like a good idea before cell service was common and before roaming agreements. Those things were in place before the constellation was operational. So they tried to target international business travelers and failed. The restart of Iridium succeeded by selling to the US government. I wonder if Starlink has the same problem, at least in the US.

For rural areas, there are wireless ISPs for rural areas here in Colorado where you put an antenna on your roof. You get line of sight to an antenna on a nearby mountain for internet service. I don't see how Starlink can possibly compete with that on a technological or cost basis. It seems like most of the western US could have service like this for many rural markets, if it's not already available.

I read/write fluent French (not native, but close enough for Duolingo purposes). I just went through the course to see what I could find.

It's quite common for correct answers not to be accepted. In particular, often some technically correct literal translation is accepted but the almost certainly correct colloquial translation is not.

For example: "Tu manges ça"

Literally this means "you eat that" or "you are eating that". However, since it's hard to imagine someone saying "you are eating that" in real life (why would you ever say that?) I interpret this as a question ("are you eating that?") or as a command to a child ("Eat that!" or a bit more literally, "you shall eat that!")

However, the accepted answer was indeed "You are eating that.".

By the way, this isn't even taking into account the fact that "ça" should quite commonly be translated as "this", not "that" -- the distinction between "this" and "that" isn't the same in French as it is in English, and it's totally wrong to assume that "ça" should always be translated as "that" and "ceci" as "this". In fact, I think "are you eating this?" is orders of magnitude more likely to be the correct translation of "tu manges ça" than "you are eating that.".

I've only shared one, but there are a million examples like this on DuoLingo.

There are also some translations that are just objectively wrong: "He reads the menu" should be "il lit la carte", but on DuoLingo it's "il lit le menu". Nobody says "le menu" for "menu" in France. (They do say that in Québec, but nowhere was it indicated that I should be answering in nonstandard Québec dialect. "il lit la carte" was marked wrong here even though it's what you would say in France, the primary French-speaking country in the world.)

Similar to the "ça" == "this" fallacy, DuoLingo seems to believe that any phrase in which "le" or "la" appears has to involve "the" in the English translation. "You help kids" is apparently wrong for "Tu aides les enfants". The expected translation was "you're helping the children". Yes, that's one possible meaning, but "les enfants" isn't necessarily definite here: "tu aides les enfants" can certainly mean that "you help children" (or "kids", see the paragraph below), in general, whereas "you're helping the kids" implies some fixed, well-defined set of kids.

Let alone French: there are even cases in which DuoLingo's writers don't seem to understand English. For example, any sentence with "les enfants" has to be translated with the overly formal "children": "kids" isn't accepted, even though I, a native English speaker, would say "kids" something like 99.9% of the time.

A desire to stay relevant. Print publishers often get criticized for being behind the curve, but a few like NYT and BBC have invested heavily in the technology of their business. Not sure how much it's paid off, but my impression is they aren't struggling as much as some.

I hope they manage to find the right combination to stay around, I loathe the dystopian future where Buzzfeed and Breitbart are the only news outlets.
You're thinking in terms of current consumers. Ocean resources may be cheaper for Earth use, but space resources will be cheaper for space uses. We're finally on our way to bootstrap a space economy, and it has a good chance of being self-sustaining.

> Now a "species" of software intelligences on the other hand, which could adapt their bodies to fit their environments, the various collections of asteroids might present a compelling opportunity to build a dyson swarm (assuming they could think of some useful/valuable to them way to use that much energy).

We still need to get to appropriate technologies, which is precisely what expanding into space now is doing. A Dyson swarm is not something you suddenly build in your garage from scrap parts after a night of heavy drinking.

> It's kind of hilarious to think that people seriously propose terraforming mars as a strategy to avoid the dangers of global warming or nuclear war; there are a thousand other uses for all that time, labor, and money. Many of which could mitigate threats like that for a tiny fraction of the cost.

Yeah, no. RE nuclear war, there are diminishing returns on the margin in political involvement; hell, a big part of the nuclear danger is the fact that too many people are involved. By redirecting space sector into this, all you'd be doing is squandering the engineering talent.

RE global warming, space sector is quite well aligned with efforts on global warming (where do you think the climate data comes from? or even the models on how global warming works?), and long-term, it offers moving some heavier industries up the gravity well, mitigating the pollution involved.

Masculinity is a need for survival in difficult conditions. When going gets tough masculine characteristics will be the ones that can make you work through them.

I am always told about this toxic masculinity but no one ever clearly defined it. Always got some anecdotal answer to what they are trying to do.

I think boys are to guided to becoming men, men who can be followed. Men like Gandhi, or king Jr, or Mandela. If not for their belief and masculinity they would not be revered so many people. Masculinity is not a vice, toxic or otherwise, it is a necessity for survival.
Sigh. Just reading some of these comments here, and even some in Doom9, turns out we haven't learn much over the past nearly 20 years?

Doom9 was started 18 years ago, and many of these has since been discussed many many times.

And yet people still look at PSNR and SSIM as gold standard. And many here start to present them as "FACTS", even when they have been told not to repeatedly. Even when we have present them with all the information of why. And this is even happening on HN. May be we dont have a problem of fake news at all, we have a problem with people not willing to learn and understand, and decide to believe what ever their narrative best. This isn't just royalty free ( Not patents Free ) AV1 codec, but also programming languages, etc Sorry I am going a little off topic.

I really like you stating patents not an issues, so we throw away one question that does not have a right or wrong answer.

To answer your question, if your encoded copy is only viewed by you, then yes you will be the judge whether it is of similar quality, not PSNR or SSIM or even VMAF. We haven't have enough time to fully test out and evolve the VMAF metrics, but so far it is at least a much better metrics then PSNR and SSIM that is being used in EVERY AV1 test that begs about it being superior.

Depending on who you ask, but anyone who hate patents or on the AV1 camp will tell you their VP9 is already better then x265, as a matter of facts they have been stating this since day one before VP9 were any good. But as you pointed out using VMAF metrics x265 is better then VP9, and VP9 has been tuned for PSNR, and SSIM values, which is part of the VMAF calculation. This gives a slight disadvantage to x264 or x265, both dont give a damn about PSNR since its inception.

I do admit AV1 will likely be better then x265 in encode, given the immense complexity involved. But so far i think it is marginal to slightly better, the 30% better doesn't mean you can get a 1.4Mbps AV1 Encode to look similar to 2Mbps x265, at least in my view. You can test this yourself, but that is assuming you have enough time and spare resources to play around with the AV1 insanely slow encoder.
The reason why Brave can be Brave, is because it can hide under Chrome. Webpage owners will build their webpages Chrome-compatible, which makes them Brave-compatible, so whether they make any money off of supporting Brave is unimportant.

Mozilla can't do the same with Firefox, because they don't have anything to hide under. They rely on webpage owners making money off of Firefox, otherwise they're not going to build/test against Firefox.

Mozilla can be Brave with Firefox for iOS, and with Firefox Focus as well, because there they don't use Gecko as layout engine, they hide underneath someone else's layout engine. (Apple forces other browsers to use WebKit on iOS; Firefox Focus for Android uses Android Webview because it keeps the binary small, which is important as it's sort of meant to be a secondary browser.)

So, they're most definitely not doing the same for desktop and Android Firefox. It would kill Firefox/Gecko in no time, if they did that. It wouldn't be brave, it'd be suicide.
Thank you for this thorough and thoughtful response! Lots to soak in here. I agree, I am certainly not Elon Musk, there is no ego here. I'm just saying that the problem spaces I want to help with (environment, health/fitness/healthcare) don't seem like the problems I can effectively tackle because, as I mentioned before, I can't seem to find a way to divide-and-conquer into a smaller idea I can execute on. Do you have any thoughts behind that? I guess maybe talk with people in those spaces and see what problems they are having that could benefit from some tiny innovation?
Not even this as it could have negative impact on the next at least 2 generations depending on politics in the future. Some people judge you based on who your ancestors were and what they did. There are countries today where you have to fear for your life if your father was gay, for example.

As we cannot foresee the future, neither politics nor any future decyphering capacities, I highly doubt deleting the key is a viable option.

You're arguing from poor statistics.

That goods transfer costs would be negligible?
Your architecture may say exactly all of the qualities of your data are but when it comes to transferring it into and out of a database some of the fidelity is lost.

If you're trying to pull the data into a statically typed language (even one that isn't object based) there's an impedance mismatch and you almost have to trick your language into accepting the data. So you hide this indignity in something called an Object Relational Mapper, and the rest of your app just pretends like you have a database that gives you Objects.

There are a million flavors of these with their own jargon but it's all the same stuff, and they are all within an order of magnitude of each other on the awfulness scale (which is why I'm not to enthusiastic every time someone comes up with essentially the same thing under a different name.

Backpage was knowingly colluding with sex traffickers. So, to fix your grocery store analogy, it's more like shutting down a grocery store who was intentionally distributing known bad products from a manufacturer.

It's not like "targeting the Internet instead of the actual human traffickers"; they are the actual human traffickers.

Also, Backpage wasn't shut down under SESTA; SESTA hadn't yet passed when the site was taken down.

How to define Product-Market Fit?
Regular satellite internet already provides price-per-gigabyte that is competitive (or superior to, in the case of Viasat) with mobile internet services. It's the latency that's lacking. With a LEO (and the then VLEO) constellation, Starlink could actually do better than some mobile internet providers as far as latency. 25-35 milliseconds for Starlink (maybe more in some cases) versus like 80-100 milliseconds for LTE providers (much worse for 4G and terrible for 3G).

So I definitely think Starlink could compete in that market. But more as an equal than as the only option.

That doesn't change the rendezvous problem where people have a name or a mnemonic and they want the IP address. Although, if you could get a "memorable" IPV6 address then you might be able to finesse it. Of course people can black hole and IP address as well which makes it challenging, so perhaps a couple of hundred IPV6 prefixes with rotating addresses.

> Most countries wouldn't really care as they have more important issues to solve than clamp down on innocent people making informed choices about their lives. So the idea isn't really bad.

Yup. More important issues like no rule of law, no sanitation, low literacy rates, mob rule, etc.

"Clamping down on innocent people making informed choices about their lives" is what you get to once you stabilize a society and solve its most urgent, life-threatening problems. It's what you get to once people are living in relative health and safety, and then you discover that "informed choices" aren't really that informed, because they're made in the environment full of scammers and people who can't give two fucks about other human beings, if it means few dollars more.

And once you get to that, you can live in a world where food poisoning in a restaurant is national news.

> A suggestion from Michiel Rook’s blog is that maybe is enough to remove the data from the projections/read models, and there is no need to touch the data in the event store.

No. This is very easy. The right to be forgotten means: if I’m done with your web service and I want to have my account deleted, you have to delete everything you have on me in a reasonable timeframe and which is not required by you for other laws (such as keeping receipts of my purchases for 6-10 years).

If someone can replay that log step by step (and I think this is the idea of Event Sourcing), and my data shows up in there for no particular reason, it’s illegal.

There is no need for you to archive data, if I don’t want you to create that archive or if I want you to delete that archive.

Also, if I haven’t used your web service after X years, you should send a friendly reminder that my account and all data will be erased soon. If I don’t reactivate, you should delete every information that helps you or anyone to identify me as a person.

Edit: arguing with the purpose of “archiving” is exactly this fucked up weaseling around which companies do to circumvent the law. Take responsibility for your users data and delete everything after a while or on request.
