If you're going to build something like this, especially when the data sets are typically large, this is a very strong case for erasure coding.

If you split a 5GB file into (20) 250MB chunks and then mirror each of them four times, there is a nontrivial probability that one of the chunks loses all four mirrors. Especially when you're using notoriously unreliable volunteer hosting.

If you split the same 5GB file into (20) 250MB data chunks and (60) 250MB erasure chunks, you consume the same amount of total storage but have to lose 61 chunks (>75% of all the hosts) before you lose any data.
At a 0-100 Celsius scale, or whatever is the equivalent in Fahrenheit, there will be an almost impossible to see increase over the time span of 100 years.

This is subtly incorrect. Correctly, it should be:

You ever hear of "early retirement extreme" (don't be scared by the cheesy misleading name, it's probably the lowest quality part of the blog/book). I discovered it in my mid 20's and wish I did earlier.

I could go on and on about it, and I won't even drop numbers because you won't believe them. The author is a physics PhD and discusses topics very logically and steps back critically analyzes many common cultural behaviors and preconceived notions (what IS retirement, for example) that can help you think about what you really want and the best way to get there.

Judge for yourself but I think his life is a lot more interesting than rich tech kids buying exclusive turnkey vacation packages w/guaranteed great instagram backdrops. Example, walking the docks and joining a sailboat racing team, training for 100 mile bike races, etc.

There's really too much to write here to describe the full philosophy lifestyle, but I encourage you to at least check it out with an open mind. I guarantee you it's not "frugal living", the guy probably has nicer stuff than most people when it comes to clothes, bikes, tools, etc.

Honestly reading your posts in this thread I can tell we're so wildly different when it comes to values that I don't really know if this will resonate with you or not, but again I at least encourage you to check it out, just to see other options for whats out there.

I will go ahead and spoil the "end" of the guy's personal journey, since I think you might be especially interested: Despite having investments that generate over 100% of living expenses, and not having to do anything for anyone, getting to do whatever you want all day, the ends up taking a job as "quant trader/researcher" for the opportunity to solve challenging problems.

Mathematically, probability is a function over the domain of values of a random variable, where the sum (for discrete variables) or integral (for continuous ones) over the entire domain is equal to 1. Division happens for some random variable operations (for example, conditional probabilities) but generally multiplication and addition are more common

In this case, its value at 6 happens to be 1/6, because there are six possible values and for a fair die all have equal values of P[Val].

I can think of three things.

- performance. Local apps tend to just run faster. Not always, but generally.

- focus. One app, one function.

- security. A local app could easily connect to clusters in your network using local certificates. In the cloud you would have to give the web based version access to your network. In many cases this would be a total no go. You can do stuff with VPN, firewalls etc. but that severely complicates the use case.

Thanks for the info! I guess I just suck, I edited the post to reflect that.

I don't think it's in bad faith to recommend people play poker recreationally either for free or for small amounts of money. Obviously there's a world of difference between playing a game every weekend for $40 buy ins versus spending $800 every week at the bicycle.

On the same line of thinking, getting into street fighter is an incredibly rewarding experience! I wouldn't recommend anyone to jump in and dedicate their life savings to becoming a professional with no prior experience though.

Edit: that being said, if you or your family has a history with addictive behavior, I'd urge extrmeme caution
I see this is a centralized service. Is there protection from DMCA takedowns?

For example, if someone uploads a bundle of 50 N64 ROMs, and someone tries to DMCA that link so that this service no longer provides an index to it, is there censorship resistance?

This is almost exactly what I need: A distributed index of massive datasets. I've been building a web browser that can source from such content. The idea is that you write a website which refers to some resources by SHA256, and anyone else running the browser will transmit the resource to you if they have it.

That would let you build an emulator which can play any ROM in history, without having to explicitly download the ROMs. It's equivalent to clicking on a link to "Super mario brothers" and then seeing it play immediately in your browser. No explicit downloading.

From a long term standpoint, the vision is that you can build whatever games you want, using whatever assets you want, and nobody can tell you that you can't.

So it was funny to see this service pop up, because it's nearly an identical use case: "I have some data (ROMs), I want to make it available to everyone else (people running the emulator), and it's decentralized so no one can say no (bittorrent)." But that raises the question of scope, or whether such use cases would be welcome.

I don't think we are disagreeing. I'm just pointing out that the phrase was deliberately pushed out into the wider public discourse for specific political motivations, and it is ironic that this phrase is now being used by those same political forces to cast aspersions on scientists.
The change in temperature observed is a fact. The explanation is a mathematical model of a very complex mechanism that we barely understand. For instance there was an article on hn recently about how the ocean could capture a lot more co2 than anticipated [1]. And none of these models had the benefit of being tested for their capacity to predict the future. Anyone who has toyed with any predictive model knows how easy it is to overfit a back-testing. I am not saying that there is no global warming, neither than human co2 emission plays no role (and there are many other good reasons to reduce pollution anyway). But I wonder what makes everyone else so confident that they know that for a fact that it is entirely caused by human activity. And the problem is that name calling, or mixing what should be scientific considerations with all sort of political considerations (about the sins of capitalism, the relations of man with nature, etc) is only going to aggravate those who doubt, not convince them.

You surely realize that no human being can be available 24/7 within 20 minutes. It's beyond slavery to expect that from any employee.

Yes, we can send commands to the spacecraft once it's up there to do thing like modify memory or hard drive contents directly, turn on/off or command payloads and equipment. The full list is pretty exhaustive - anything you could want to be able to do, you can command manually. These things aren't 100% autonomous (though they have autonomous elements in the software).

There is also a way to send pre-programmed task lists to them which are executed sequentially, with delays if necessary.

That kind of thing is in the hands of operations, so it's not usually the job of the software team to test in the normal manner.

Yes, that's the solution we came up with. One stack with lambdas, managed policies, roles, user pool, etc; one stack with the APIGateway::RestApi and some resources and methods, and then another stack with yet more resources and methods. This works, but I don't think it's a great solution. Wouldn't it be preferable to have one stack that encompasses the whole API for one service?

It is a good point. There are a few industries where companies tend to be really strict about who you buy from and will refuse to honor warranty from unautorized sellers (headphones, other than the least expensive, are one that I came across recently). Many others require some kind of proof of purchase and I would guess most people realize that if you get something on ebay there is a good chance that the manufacturer will not honor the warranty. Sometimes this is just due to time limiting considerations (if something has a year warranty and you buy it and sell it unopened a year later should the person who buys it get a year warranty?) and sometimes the company wants to limit the warranty to the first person who buys it.

IMO, warranty needs to be considered independent of if an item is new or not and any company who has a problem with how Amazon is representing that should go after Amazon and not random third party sellers. I would also strongly support companies being required to either honor warranty on items that are resold new or specify a warranty period independent of when or where it is bought that is listed on the product. Many companies do everything they can to make sure the warranty sounds great when you buy while making every excuse to not honor it later. "Authorized Sellers" are just one part of that.
Gonbes GBS-8200/8220 CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD-Converter PCB allows all types of RGB, EGA, VGA or YUV component signals to be up-converter and display on a 31KHz PC VGA monitor, TFT monitor, LCD display, or HD-TV with VGA connection.

I’m not saying she is or isn’t a good player, but the metrics used are misleading.

GDP growth under socialism was always comparable with capitalist countries. And even despite being a relatively poor country and being under embargo from the US for nearly 70 years, Cuba has a higher literacy rate and life expectancy than the United States.

Compare the development of China, which is responsible for nearly all of the poverty reduction of the last 30 years, and India, a similarly situated but more market-oriented economy victim to western Imperialism. It's night and day.

I'm not defending any of these regimes (they all certainly had problems), but the argument that socialism "doesn't work" in terms of creating a functional, growing economy is simply not consistent with the historical record. Again, despite controlling most of the global economy and being the wealthiest country in the world, the U.S still doesn't have affordable housing, livable infrastructure, reasonable work environments, and enough food for all its people. Because capitalism never has and never will provide those things.

It seems like you want to discredit NASA now ("shouldn't melt") vs some imagined possibility("won't melt" but it does). With the amount of design, analysis, testing, and independent review and verification of the systems, backup systems, triply redundant systems, and autonomy, we can be as sure of it not melting as we can be sure of anything. And we certainly spent a large amount of money on this (about 1/10th of the World Cup), but in performance and value per $, it's a great deal.

Quote from OA that caught my eye as well...

"...We’re in the midst of a technological revolution. That gives con artists huge opportunities. People lose their frame of reference for what can and can’t be real."

So I suppose the hypothesis is that more people have defective bullshit detectors during big changes in any given field. A possible test of the hypothesis would be to look at fraud prosecutions by domain of deception (high tech stocks, property development) and by choice of victim (newly rich technical people, people new to a country &c) and see how those vary with time.
Short on what timescale though? Surely hours/days. Long enough to approach equilibrium, I would think.
