If the decision to abandon strong consistency involved careful analysis of the performance/maintenance trade-offs, then by definition the lack of consistency is less expensive than keeping a consistent but low-performance model, and you're just paying the price of having to solve a Hard Problem.

But if strong consistency was abandoned because someone wrote general statements in favor of eventual consistency...
I don't have a problem Apple charging game developers 30%, I have a problem with Apple not caring about the gaming development and has comparatively speaking, almost zero contribution to the gaming communities. From improving drivers, middle wares, to that idiotic Game Center.

I don't have a problem with Apple charging Netflix 30% for access, I have a problem with these subscription tax every month that Apple collect and offer absolutely zero value to me as an user. And they then may have use that money to create a show called Planet of the Apps.

I don't have a problem with Apple charging Spotify 30% access, I have a problem with Apple Music being complete piece of crap outside possibly English speaking countries, and some Apple Music features are tied to OS not available to Spotify.

Basically as a user I could care less about where those money goes, as most users don't. But when they discovered they are paying more while being offered an inferior solution, that pill is hard to swallow. And it makes it so much harder coming from Apple, because they keep bragging about how only Apple could do it, how they care.
Steam is also adding a lot of value for that rev-share. A social network...kickstart-esque backing of projects...cloud saves...great search and discoverability. There is a reason why developers choose Steam even though they operate on platforms that don't require it.
With Apple shuttering their affiliate program for iOS I hope this means the fee will drop to 15% or even 10%. Otherwise I can't see them dropping that affiliate program unless a change was in the future that could affect it.
We would probably be okay, if it wasn't because we are also looking at soonish fully automatic trucks, which will kill all the jobs in the trucking industry, plus all the jobs at the trucking stations, mechanics etc, plus the retail collapse.

I guess if you aren't in one of those areas, and you have a business that hires a lot of low income people, times will be good, but like you I don't think the rest of the market can take up the slack; there are only so many people who are willing to pay for laundering.

Then you don't know the difference between Maoism and Leninism. Basically, Maoists can live with any compromise in order to bring forth their communist ideals, even if the compromise is to backstab Soviet Union and open the door to the US (which they did in 1970s).
You're absolutely right. The concept of human rights has been, is, and likely will be used as a smokescreen to disguise dishonest and greedy grabs for power.

All of this is true. All of this is real. All of this is tragic and painful and extracts a price in human suffering.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% right. In every possible way, with no exceptions whatsoever. There is much work to be done, and abuses make it harder than it needs to be. These abuses can, should, and must stop.

Yet, it's perhaps possible that none of these abuses should be understood as invalidating the very notion of basic human rights.
>Capitalism gives people the full fruits of their labor except when they voluntarily decide to give the fruits of their labor to someone else

A lot of people don't have a choice otherwise, except homelessness and poverty. Not exactly a 'free' system. Runaway free market Capitalism creates this problem as it sends money to the very top leaving the rest to fight for a small portion of the pie. Working is not voluntary in USA unless you already have plenty of money, or are supported by someone with money.

>to some extent it is impossible to prevent them because of scarcity

There's no such thing as scarcity of pretty much anything in USA. We have 18.9 million vacant homes, with 3.5 million homeless [1]. We throw away 150,000 tons of food every single day [2]. There's no scarcity there, it's just capitalism at work.

I'm putting the blame on the correct ideology. None of this would happen under a sane system with checks and balances. What you're seeing right now is _raw capitalism_ at work.

I've found that there are four main situations where separating functionality out in to a different service works:

* That service would work well enough on its own as a startup - it's internally complicated but isolated and requires a very simple abstraction (e.g. doing a postcode lookup service).

* As a facade to create a clean interface to something that is not clean (e.g. a nice REST API that talks to a crazy weird industrial control system over a parallel port which only runs on windows).

* The operational requirements of the code are entirely different (e.g. moving data processing from the webserver to a task server and feeding it via a queue).

* As a means of linking components in a large scale system run by a large organization that has multiple teams that often write code in different languages and have real trouble coordinating with one another but are nonetheless overseen by a crazy smart architect.

The latter was basically where Martin Fowler thought microservices worked well, and it probably did, but he kind of forgot that A) the absence of a crazy smart architect is more common than the presence and B) this was a hack which involved a shit ton of extra operational overhead that was only worth it because it solved a gnarly people problem.

When startups of 7 people run more than 3 services I start looking for the microservice kool aid.

In part I think it's important to think about how to make and keep a healthy culture of labour unions. There needs to be counter balance to corporate power. Especially in blue collar sectors.

I guess gig unions could be a thing? Can we build apps for worker coordination? What if there was a way for all Uber drivers to coordinate global strikes?

We should be open for regulation that protect the rights of workers to unionize.

Something to note is the Android store is a particularly poor avenue of revenue - I’m happy to pull up sources as it’s been a year or two but as far as I’m aware, the Play Store profits vs. the App Store (iOS) profits are literally exponentially different.

However, the big crack in this case is certainly free->monetized. Always a great way to lose an existing user base.

We're actually conflating two separate but correlated events here, as a few folks in that thread have later acknowledged.

Most folks agree that Tony should be off the project. The problem of one overzealous person trying to get Tony to shut up is a separate and regrettable decision on his part. CoCs act to protect people from behavior like Tony's, not to be a cudgel. AFAIK, it's faced subsequent edits to improve that.

It's unfortunate that Tony's become so incapable of modulating his behavior in public that he forces these issues. It's doubly regrettable that folks associated with the same projects he has contributed to could not handle the unusual situation with more grace and poise.

Opiates vs "illicit substances". I don't think they were arguing that Burning Man is straight edge, just that there isn't a large opiate presence specifically (which wouldn't surprise me).
I think I've been officially burnt out for ~14 months now (read: even longer than that). In that time we've taken a couple 1 week vacations. When I get back I'm back to my normal self for 3 weeks or so and then I notice the signs again. Is it important to take those weeks consecutively instead of multiple shorter trips? Genuinely curious.

I think one source of my woes is the proverbial "golden handcuffs". Yes, I have a lot of money already. But, I'm expected to continue operating as I have been for multiple years to come (and yes, there is a strong financial incentive to perform). Willful failure to perform could bring lawsuits, resignations, bankruptcy, who knows.

To my rationale, I already committed to n additional years of start-up-hustle level work (100% growth per year for multiple years). There is a strong financial incentive to complete this. If I willfully fail to perform I risk essentially bankruptcy.

I'm aware that I said in my previous post that I don't really need the money. But, at the same time I do? I have a mortgage, wife, (soon) children. I do regret almost all significant life choices I've made to date currently, but now that I'm here it's overly painful to get out (I think?).

Sorry for the rant. Lots of pressure. I should probably start writing in a journal instead of posting my thoughts publicly online.

Rocket: Securing the Web at Compile-Time
What was the case against SHA-512/256? It's the same size as SHA-256, is faster on 64-bit hardware, and is often more difficult to attack. It's just a truncated SHA-512 hash, which is widely supported. The only drawback I know of is that it's slower than SHA-256 on 32-bit hardware.

edit: I found the email where they compared 256-bit hash functions [1]. It seems Apple Common Crypto, gcrypt and NSS don't implement SHA-512. A new twist to the performance story is that OpenSSL's SHA-256 is faster than SHA-512/256 in the AMD Ryzen tests, possibly due to the recent introduction of hardware support.

Also area is not the same as volume. Second growth forest tends to have less wood than old growth.

I grew up in British Columbia, Canada. I remember when you could see a whole row of logging trucks driving by carrying one tree. As in, each section of the tree filled a logging truck. There are trees where that tree was today, but they represent nowhere near the same amount of carbon stored in the form of wood.

The article failed to point this factor out.

Absurd.

They said in the article without getting super-specific that they have low-latency / high-throughput / time sensitive data processing needs in each restaurant. It sounds like they have a whole bunch of sensors tracking their inventory and food preparation pipeline. Other comments here link to other blog posts by them with more details about french fry done-ness deep learning models, for example (wacky but cool).

If you had to go across the internet to the cloud at such a high rate from each restaurant, this would probably come with pretty high failure rates and levels of flakiness. It makes sense to me to process the local data firehose in-house and keep the rest of the common high-level stuff in the cloud.

This point brings up another, implicit, scale multiplier that the average person might assume doesn't exist: that a single individual could need multiple sequences stored.

One can't just estimate required total (uncompressed) storage by multiplying population (mod monozygotic multiple births and chimerism) by the size of one instance of raw sequencing data.
For intra-schengen travel you are supposed to have a national identity card or passport, not just a photo ID. I don't think Brits have those cards yet so they still need passports.
They are clearly willing to pay it if they pay it. If users buy these devices knowing in advance that it will be infeasible to install software outside of the app store, I don't think it's fair for developers to act entitled to another software distribution channel.

Obviously we have political views, but they're a only subset of religious views. By analogy, geometry exists and is a legitimate field of study. But if you said "all mathematicians think about is geometry" that would be false because it's too narrow in scope. If he's consistent in his Christian worldview "he sees everything they do as religious as well" would have been true.

This is a common misconception. A mature forest does NOT absorb CO2. It stores a bunch of carbon, but is net neutral.

However when you cut down that forest, it turns into wood and a good chunk of that wood tends to turn into CO2 in one way or another in not too many years.

The real "lungs of the world" are the plankton in the ocean. Endlessly absorbing CO2, sinking, and forming mud. Locking away CO2 released by natural sources such as volcanoes.
But now that carbon lives in buildings, paper, landfills, etc and there is new carbon in the form of the smaller trees. From a carbon sequestration perspective, it would seem that this is strictly better than waiting for trees to get old, right?

Nah. All sorts of things are done right by governments that I find distasteful and wouldn't vote for. For a coarse example, they're not abolishing laws against murder. That's good, because I want murder to be illegal. The area of agreement between the two parties in the US is much broader than the areas of disagreement.

But I was talking about compromise. And an unwillingness to tolerate compromise in our leaders was characteristic of the 2016 election - that's how Trump won the GOP nomination, and how Bernie put up a hard fight against Hillary Clinton. Bernie doesn't compromise on anything (he's not even a Democrat!), and most of his supporters find that admirable. Hillary compromises on everything, and those same supporters find it shameful, even though she's the one with an actual record of getting actual things done.

As a Democrat, I liked both the Democratic candidates (for different reasons), but can imagine a candidate I would have liked much better - one closer to my personal values. By voting for one, I compromised. I find Trump to be a disturbing human being who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near actual power. Nonetheless, his presidency is not the end of my world, and I sometimes even admire him (the same way I'd admire a child who killed their parents and then begged for mercy as an orphan, but admiration nonetheless).
