Interestingly, git itself is a counterexample to your very point. It's written in reasonably tight code and without major runtime dependencies to run fast on a single system with a simple filesystem backing. And depending on who you ask and what their tastes are, it does maybe 80% of the job that all these giant web sites are being asked to do internally, without any rigging or support beyond a remote ssh account.

So "we" haven't collectively failed, just some of us.
I think the really interesting things here are more than just "support new p2p transports/protocols". The things Beaker is doing around changing the way we author the web are the real important pieces, and finding the "middle ground" or transition path is one of the keys to success. So, to answer the OP as well, supporting loading assets from traditional servers is pretty much a requirement for authors I think.

The LSD (Delysid) patent has long expired, however, there is no shortage of psychedelics yet to be patented.

The back market produces new drugs on a regular basis in order to work around legislation. Legitimate drug companies can do the same (but with proper studies) for the sake of patenting.

And even if existing molecules turn out best, there is always a small tweak that can be made. Adderall for instance is good old amphetamine, but with a specific isomer ratio and salts, so it can be patented.
> It means that Tesla could let go over 3,000 employees in this round of layoffs.

> The CEO also confirmed that Tesla didn’t renew its contract with Home Depot to sell its energy products at their stores.

Tesla energy advisors were supposed to be at 800 Home Depots across the US earlier this year.

If they had 3.5 employees per store, and a team of 200 managing the entire effort, these layoffs could be attributed entirely to the lost Home Depot deal.
> But no ORM will ever give me the actual flexibility and performance of raw SQL queries (unless it becomes SQL itself).

Enter SQLAlchemy Expressions.

The reason why that's actually an excellent idea is twofold: For one, the entity-mapping part (i.e. you can write very complex queries and still get your mapped objects back), the other is that you're essentially writing the AST of your SQL queries using real objects, so it's very easy to manipulate and reuse, which is quite hard to do with textual SQL. (Also it's easy to mix textual SQL and SQL expressions in SQLAlchemy; but the need to do that is very, very rare indeed).

"The integrity of a common-consensus system depends entirely on how little trolls care about disrupting it."

That is actually the key point why a blockchain (or ledger that allows for money-like transaction) is an important part for us. By binding what you say to a monetary reward people that act irrationaly and do it for the lulz will lose their money and ultimately have to leave the system by running out of funds.

Simmilarly, trolls could dimish the value of a PoW blockchain by creating and exploiting 51% attacks, but that hasn't happened with Bitcoin, since that is far too expensive to do it just for fun. Monetarily motivated attacks are of course a different discussion.

CORS doesn't preflight GET, POST or HEAD methods unless they have custom headers or content-type other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data or text/plain.

So a simple GET bar.com/data.json works just fine in today's browsers.

> Case in point, take a unit square, it will have a diagonal who's digits have a long "infinite" string of digits but sqrt(2) isn't "infinite information", it's very finite (ie., one number!)

It's tricky to talk about "information" when using arbitrary human conveniences, like decimal arabic numerals, etc. In particular:

- The side length of a unit square also has infinite digits: 1.00000...

- If adding trailing zeros seems superfluous, how about writing the side length as 0.9999...?

- The diagonal has length 1 on a ruler which measures sqrt(2)ths

- The diagonal length can be written very compactly as 'x | x^2 = 2', and there's no reason a numeral system couldn't represent that "natively"

A lot of definitions of "information" (e.g. Shannon information) depend on identifying an element out of a set. Such definitions break down when we're dealing with constants, since e.g. sqrt(2) couldn't be anything else.

It's like trying to apply computational complexity to a fixed input, e.g. it only takes constant time to sort a particular list, or to find the shortest path for a particular travelling salesman, etc.

To avoid degenerating into zero, there needs to be some set/space of possibilities which all need handling.

The author's definitions seem to do this: e.g. if we're considering the set of all possible real numbers, then they do indeed "contain infinite information"; or, a phrasing I would prefer, they would require an infinite amount of information to distinguish them exactly.
Africa and SE Asia have a massive problem with food-borne illnesses and deaths related to it. You can take a look at the WHO's numbers, as they track food-related illness around the world [1].

Results start on page 61 and are broken down by region. They report impact of food-related illness in terms of years of life lost. America, Canada, W. Europe, and Australia are in the range of ~10 years lost per 100k people to food related illness. Africa is around 1200 per 100k and SE Asia is at 800 per 100k.

So maybe America is a "sad, sterile" world, but it's also legislated away something that remains a major problem in plaguing the rest of the world.
Malls need to move from Everything to Everyone to targeted segments of the consuming public.

My suggestion would be to rebuild the existing set of retail locations and target a group or niche to drive more traffic. For Example: Focus on Moms with kids from zero to 6. All the stores would cater to this group. You wouldn't see Athletic Shoe Stores or Abercrombie but store like Baby Gap, Carters, Gymboree or Children's Place. Add in Starbucks and a few other children friendly restaurants. Put in one or two play spaces for kids. Offer Free Babysitting if the Moms schedule appointments at a Yoga Center, Nail or Hair Salon. Make it a destination for Mom's to One Stop Shop for all their needs and a place where kids can play while they sit and watch or shop. Put in a couple of Pediatricians, Eye Doctors and a few Kids focused Dental Services. A Kids focused Movie Theatre and maybe even an aquatic center attached but for young kids. Make the entire place a destination. "THE" go-to place in town to shop for Moms with kids from infant to 6.

Or take an existing Mall and put in an indoor Skate Park. Fill it with stores catered to 16 to 25 year olds. Set the expectation that you expect Youth to "cruise" the locations. Add some security to make it safe and create a hangout where they will shop.
This is definitely the move of a company in the process of scaling up production of their mass market vehicle that their valuation hinges on. Definitely not about managing cash flow.

Disappointed to see that "See a doctor or mental health professional" has not yet been mentioned. So I'll recommend that. My anxiety had started manifesting physically as panic attacks. After verifying my situation wasn't an emergency, he said my diagnosis was a no-brainer and prescribed Sertraline. It's helped a lot, and I've had no ill side-effects.

Please, please see a doctor or mental health professional if you suspect you have anxiety or depression. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll need medication if you're not keen on that. At the very least they will help you establish a baseline.

The pricing model is to help support our continual development costs of the platform, it definitely takes a bit of time to develop the tech, and continually test it with our users and refine the experience so that it's easy to use out of the box for you. We have a pay-as-you-go structure to help make it easier for users that aren't sure about their usage yet to try it out at a very low cost, and decide if it'll work for them, we didn't want a steep initial pricing structure to be a barrier of entry for people exploring ML. The requests are loosely enforced through our central key server (though there is no request rate limit). While absolutely no training/inference data leaves the container, we do occasionally send back usage metrics to help keep track of usage. If you're interested in a totally isolated solution, we can talk about having on-prem deployed key servers so that your cluster can be completely isolated.

I hope that clarifies everything, let me know if you have any feedback or further questions :)

Retail could turn their model on it's head. Rather than consumers coming to the mall, retailer has micro depot and delivers to local customers. The only question is whether or not you can make use of all the parking. If not, then probably not capturing the entire value of the existing infrastructure.
>"questioning why tuesdays exist"

I don't see a problem with this line of questioning. There is lots interesting to consider there. Just some stream of thought:

What does tuesday mean anyway, why do we have weeks, why 7 days per week, what is the exact definition of day, could there be planets without "days", do dogs recognize a weekly cycle, would they if "freerunning" without human companionship, what about wolves who "howl at the moon", does that mean they recognize the lunar cycle, in that case maybe they also mentally divide it up into subsets greater than a day but less than a full month, how could we study wolf behaviour to try to figure this out, why exactly do I feel like there is a difference between sunday and tuesday, just because one is during the weekend or something more, do wild packs of wolves/dogs take regular days off from hunting/etc, what do they do in their free time?

How many tech workers would like their terms of employment, including compensation, to be decided by negotiations between a union and a company?
That seems like a pretty dismissive take. I've been on the other side of some truly ignorant bug reports, but I've also sent reports with code that, to the best of my knowledge, resolves the problem. If I received a bug report wherein someone was clearly annoyed with software they paid me for but still put the effort into trying to understand and resolve on their own, I'd probably prioritize that email and try to be empathetic about it.
I heard about Sugru when it first came out. I bought a few 6 packs and gave some to my engineer friends. I think I was the only one who got pretty exited about the possibilities.
Since then, I have lost several packets to age, and learned to keep any I bought in the fridge. As several people have said, I would love to know a place to get the raw materials. It is much nicer to work with than silicone caulk.
I recently used 2 packets of sugru to adapt my Hoverbar gooseneck iPad stand to fit my iPad Air. (The company used to sell adapters for newer iPads but I waited too long and my Air is too old now.)

Worked great. The sugru is about two years old, having been stored in the fridge all along.
> Speaking of postmortems, reading through the Google Doc of their outage timeline, my first postmortem question would be why is the website dependent on the database being up?

You can't do anything with GitLab without the database being available.

> Shouldn't there at least be a fallback that says "We're offline right now sorry" when the database is unavailable? Or in the name of extreme transparency, have it frame or show a link to the google doc of the outage?

We have a deploy page, but it requires us to explicitly enable it, which can be easy to forget. I do think adding a link to our Twitter status to the error pages could be useful, or maybe a widget of some kind.

> My second question would be how often do we test failures of a read slave, of the master, and of pgbouncer?

In the past we tested certain scenarios whenever necessary. For example, when introducing new parts of the database load balancer we'd test what happens if we terminate X or Y. However, we do not yet do periodic chaos monkey style testing, which has been on our todo list for quite a while.

> Do we at least have a practiced procedure for manual failover if not an automatic failover?

Failovers are actively worked on (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/database/issues/91, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/database/issues/86, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/database/issues/40). Right now our failover procedure is still quite painful, and it's easy to make mistakes. We held off using this approach for our maintenance because of these reasons, and also because a failover usually results in 2-3 hours of slow loading times. Ironically we ended up with just that.

> My third question would be what sort of alerts do we have, if any, on replication lag?

Plenty: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/blob/810824765ec45534...

In this particular instance they go to a Slack channel called "#database", and this channel has been on fire with alerts since the problem started.

I'm not talking about a sterile windowless room with bright lights and various people walking in and out telling you to do things. More like a therapy setup, similar to how they're experimenting with MDMA. Someone who knows what they are doing guiding things, helping you explore your mind.

LSD is probably not the best drug for this simply because it lasts for so long, but guided trips using psilocybin are definitely doable (and currently happen).
> Stores in a mall have a real opportunity to win on personal service and instant gratification. Hire someone to help me find shoes

You say that as if it's possible in the same way as advice such as 'find a good lawyer'

1) Assumes that if you are helpful customers won't suck up an extraordinary amount of time and that it will pay off in the end (might not)

2) Assumes paying for a better person will result in more sales (may not)

3) Assumes qualified people even want this job (there may be none)

I am not disputing in a perfect world you are right and that better help you will end up with more sales and higher profit. But generally it's not low hanging fruit or very easy. Typically stores that do this well are more specialty stores where the workforce loves the product and will accept lower pay and likes to get the same questions over and over again. (Like an REI store or a bike shop ..) Also the margin on the product matters. Remember rent in malls is very high.

Again, depends on your definition of information. For shannon information, you would need to define a protocol.

- Meditation: 15 minutes daily in the AM

Being disciplined about these things is pretty critical for me.

Today its far easier to mass produce and scale. Modern reactors are better design for this.

My problem is this. You read news article after article about how horrible and disastrous climate change already is and will be even worse very soon. WE NEED TO ACT NOW.

Nuclear could have been adopted (or continued) 30 years ago. Carbon would never even have been a large problem. Only having to change transportation would have been far easier once you have non-carbon energy.
