Frankly the subscriptions goal won’t really work unless it’s the only option, required for all, and “end subscription” simply means “no more updates” (as opposed to “broken app”).

Given that model, you aren’t risking much by daring to ask your customers to opt in, as literally any other app they can buy would have the same deal. And customers wouldn’t risk much either, as worst-case they pay your initial price and have to keep what they have.

A really nice feature, if Apple is serious about this, would be to have a “resume” price that kicks in based on how long it’s been since the customer last paid. That way, feel free to stop paying but don’t expect to come back in 2 years and get all the latest updates for nothing.

The link says that it requires turning synchroous off, which means that you won't be waiting for real I/O on transactions, since no fsync calls are emitted. Add that to a huge amount of RAM for cache, and it's very reasonable to be CPU bound... So long as you don't mind data loss or corruption on power loss or kernel panic...
Profundity is best understood as the quality of leading to a better understanding of situations. The profound statement itself doesn't have to be 100% literally true. "All models are wrong; some models are useful."

#11 counters people's default assumption that imagined pain doesn't hurt, because it's not real. You gain more understanding of people who report imagined pain by assuming it hurts the same (even if it might actually hurt a little less) than by assuming it doesn't hurt at all.

In the book Dune, Paul Atreides' hand is put in a pain-simulating device and he has to demonstrate his humanity by resisting the urge to pull it out or he'll be killed by a cyanide needle in the neck. You can only understand that scene by assuming the simulated pain hurts as much as real pain.

If I had to estimate "common and noticeable" sightings based on our old office near twitter and my experiences:

Homelessness -- multiple per block

Excrement -- every other block

Public drug use (non pot) -- every other day

Public urination -- once per week

Public defecation -- once per month

I was assaulted at the street corner near our office once in the 1.5 years we were there.

My guess is that the homeless population is just too large to manage any reasonable degree of cleanliness.

I was under the impression a) the relationship between salt and hypertension is far from understood and b) the daily value is likely lower than is supported by evidence.

As a home cook, things taste much better with salt, and they preserve better. Both are desired here in a packaged meal.

Furthermore this allows introducing a low sodium variant for those looking for it.
We know that high sodium intake is a leading cause of high blood pressure which in turn leads to heart disease. I also don't buy products with high levels of sodium and I think this is true of a growing number of people as awareness spreads of the issue.

I read the OP as explaining why they won't currently buy the product, but what might change their mind in the future. Further, what's the problem with holding companies to a high standard? If the world consumed less salt health would improve.
After reading the comments about the article here, I'm not concerned about being overzealous. Seems like it's doing quite a nice job. I haven't needed or wanted to unblock anything it covers so far.
They defined "bullshit" as equivalent to "vacuous" meaning it has no meaningful content at all.

That sentence may be obviously true, but it is not vacuous.
in that they may seem convenient or "auto scale" but the price premium is tremendous, especially at scale. How do they compare with paying for that capacity over EBS?

Like a lot of things dealing with autoscaling - lambda, Fargate (serverless Docker), serverless Aurora - autoscaling saves money when your demand is really spikey and even then you have to do a cost comparison.

For Linux instances, you get per second (or minute?) billing so the cost of bringing instances up and down isn't that expensive. For Windows instances, you are always billed by the hour.

[2] Not that it matters much if one is limited to 10Gb/s or even 40Gb/s (if you can get it) EBS volumes.

The fastest throughput that I am aware of with EBS is 500MB/sec without doing RAID (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/12/amazon-eb...)

Of course instance storage is faster (https://gist.github.com/ktheory/3c3616fca42a3716346b), but is that a thing people do for databases?
I use plugin for that, it walks through all elements on page (createTreeWalker) and detect actual style position (getComputedStyle) and if it is "fixed" or "sticky" it changes display to "none".

Very interesting read. You work for the place you source the products from, right?
I dunno... In my neck of the woods, datasets larger than anything a hard drive will store are commonplace, making SQLite a non-starter. I can imagine SQLite being useful for prototyping or for toy apps or for one-offs with small datasets, but not much else...

It's not legal to park an RV for any reasonable period on most curbs.

Had a chat with someone who'd parked an RV next to my house (SF Bay) for a week. He said he was down on his luck (claimed to previous live in one of the nearby houses but got booted because his mom had to sell and he couldn't afford rent) and insisted it was his right.

I reminded him of the law (72hrs max for an RV in my neighborhood), and that I wouldn't take action if he would move around a bit. Next day he was gone.

I sympathize with folks in this situation but it's pretty weird having someone living in a vehicle that looks into your living room window from the sidewalk - esp if you have kids.
- The oil that they include is definitely a type of preservative

You seem really hung up on the preservatives thing and I was giving the benefit of the doubt, but now it is just disingenuous. If oil of all things in a competitors product as a preservative then I think the tremendous amount of salt in your product qualifies as well.

Why doesn't google/fb (other than money) just ban ads from non-political campaigns.. i.e. Pacs, etc.. if you're Bernie Sanders you can run an ad, if you're a super pac or political agency you cannot run campaigns for a politician, only the verified politician and designated politician workers can access adwords/fb ads for that campaign.

If one were smart, that would be the obvious chink in Starbuck's business model: create a chain of neighborhood-aware, individualized, community-focused coffee shops / bookstores / office-lite / meeting place.

Starbucks wouldn't be able to compete, because they've essentially defined themselves as "We're the same, wherever you go." Your moat would be the social integration of place and community. And you'd actually be inspiring local creation instead of corporate consumption.

> 3) Microkernels are a diversion, because a userland server failure will be just as catastrophic as a kernel failure anyway

Yeah, no. A kernel has access to all of the data on the machine. A compromised userland is much more strictly limited.

Certainly if a compromised disk driver exposes a lot more data, not so much if you compromise your video driver. Compromising either in a monolithic kernel provides the same level of access. Strong isolation boundaries strictly limit risk.

> While legislators and advocates wrestle over gun laws, a growing list of companies are joining Shielded Students to fill school security gaps.

Gross. While we refuse to adequately address the problem of gun control, and while education continues to see its budgets defunded to the point where kids are media-illiterate and the Bible is considered a textbook, let's sell school districts million-dollar magnetrons that pretend to detect guns. "We need more training data" will be a common refrain muttered over the bodies of dead kids for a decade to come.

My kids' school had two lockdown events last year thanks to armed fugitives being on the loose in the area. One of the worse local campus shootings we saw recently involved a guy who literally shot his way into the building. "Firearm detected!" alerts add nothing but noise to these situations. We already fucking know he's got a gun. Money well spent.

And of the high-profile cases-- the Columbine kids supposedly had the foresight to call in fake bomb threats to lure police away from the target environment, extending their response time in the face of 911 alerts. The Virginia Tech shooter padlocked all the doors before pulling out any guns-- it was too late for "firearm detected!" alerts by the time he drew. And Sandy Hook wasn't perpetrated by a student, so heavier scrutiny of students would still have missed that.

And once the schools are locked into decade-long contracts with technology that has classified images of every amorphous shadow that could possibly be a gun, if chemistry class hasn't devolved into alchemical lessons on turning water and fish into wine and bread, some enterprising student will realize he can make peroxide-based explosives from common household materials and we start the cycle all over again, with another tech-vulture coming to the rescue to pick the carcass of our educational system clean.

Technology is not the answer. We built a much-too-efficient killing machine, and are trying to counter it with more machines. Trying to engineer a solution out of a social problem will just end up with our schools mirroring the structure of maximum-security prisons-- and contraband still gets into those.

> If you run more kernel code in privileged mode then you do not need to copy as much data between the kernel and user space.

Microkernels don't copy data into the kernel address space, they copy data between userland address spaces. Which still happens in monolithic systems anyway when you're doing IPC. These are typically short messages, often only data passed in registers.

And if copying is going to be a bottleneck, then you negotiate a shared address space just like in Unix, and no more copying.
Typically international airports were considered to be "4A-free zones" because they weren't considered "US Soil".

Then it started happening for domestic flights (Surveillance state thanks you, 9/11 terrorists!), and now bus/train stations.

Thanks for sharing this chart. You are right that things jumped on 2000, but I'm not so sure it is outside the broader trendline. For example, it went from 8.2% of GDP in 1980 to 11.3% by 1990.

> The title is missing "from a security standpoint".

I mean, kind of, but since maintaining system security and integrity is a core function of the OS -- in fact, it is the primary gatekeeper in terms of all system security -- it means that "being secure" and "being correct" are often synonymous terms for an operating system.

After all, if we don't care about security at all we can all run CP/M or run everything as root.

Now, sure, you can say that the whole thing is bullshit because verified microkernels are so difficult to design that the end result would be an unusable system, but all that suggests is that when you design your kernel you should aim for a hybrid and compromise more on the side of a microkernel where you can.
> Unfortunately millennials do not remember the Soviet Union.

You don't have to 'remember' something in order to understand its impact. In fact, having the hindsight of history may be more beneficial to understanding something than living in the moment and having your experiences impacted by your emotions at the time.

An individual's memory is also not very reliable, so there's that too.
