The founders could not have foreseen shifts in population demographics the like of which have occurred in the last 200 years. The urbanization of our population has been staggering during that time, and the percent of people who own or work on farms has dropped to nearly a rounding error, compared to most of the people in the world.

The idea that we must worship every aspect of the founders' thoughts on the makeup of a country, when the world has changed so drastically since their lifetimes, makes no rational sense. Sure, a lot of their ideas (checks and balances, good!) are still relevant. Others (slavery, no women's suffrage, bad), not so much.

Your time column in your hot chunck (e.g. current day/hour for trading) is going to basically bang on the time column for every query and partitioning isn't going to help much entire (probably hurt on writes) - other ts databases will part it out after period (e.g, end of day roll). how do you deal with this?

also, while you can make columnar data, sql lacks a rich enough language to take advantage of it. your advances queries seems like they aren't very good at exploiting the layout and you need to be specially written into the db (you cannot make your own high performance queries easily). I've never seen a decent LEAD/LAG query perform well, and they are too simplistic. I think you are fighting a losing war if you are trying to optimize sql down to good array based access.

A good tsdb isn't just changing the storage layer. Performance is also heavilty influenced by how queries are able to be expressed.

I don't see a problem with that if we confront and dismiss the notion that certain individuals (e.g. individuals who live in rural areas) should have more political influence than certain other individuals (e.g. individuals who live in urban areas).

Something as arbitrary as the amount of unpopulated land around a person's home should not affect how much political influence that person receives.

Hey Michael,

I get it, you guys are using the primary keys for data => chunk and a second level for chunk => server/node. Other databases do this as well to abstract physical and logical partition placement.

A lot of commentators are discussing the drawdowns of storing cash bills. However, who buys bonds by paying with physical cash bills? Most of us have a number in our bank account that reflects some sort of wealth? (Ownership of a security elsewhere or an I Owe You?) People with a salary directly deposited and big companies do not need a bank to store their physical cash bills.

I’m still trying to understand how this all happened.
I agree with all of this and probably could have phrased my original post better. My main point is that none of this is really possible without ECB rates being set where they are. Successful monetary policy requires multiple tools to be utilized and the deposit rate is the main tool that anchors everything else. QE in itself does not mean rates are going to be lower. You need central bank rates to also be low in order to have lower government rates. Rates didn't suddenly skyrocket after the ECB announced the end of QE.

Uber is a marketing company and the customers are the drivers. The criticism of Uber “ordering” drivers ignores the fact that exactly how the taxi business has worked. Taxi companies don’t have drivers as employees, they are almost always contractors that lease or buy cars from the taxi company. Spend some time as an actual Yellow Cab driver and then contrast that to how good Uber drivers have it by comparison. You can, for example, just not drive and Uber doesn’t charge you a fee. A taxi driver has to pay Yellow Cab daily or weekly for their car/fees no matter if they are rolling or not. A Yellow Can driver can’t also work in the same car for another taxi company, while Uber drivers can drive simultaneously for Lift, do deliveries for various companies, etc. Uber markets rides for the drivers, drivers are customers of Uber, not employees. The taxi business has always sucked for drivers, Uber didn’t create that, they actually made it better because a driver isn’t forced to lease Yellow Cab metal. Uber also broke the taxi medallion racket that kept taxis in many large cities under the control of the mafia or other connected people who could artificially distort the supply and demand using political pressure and payoffs. Destroying the value of taxi medallions was the real, great innovation of Uber. And, the public isn’t any less safe with Uber than they were with taxi monopolies. Passenger safety is practically the same, especially when accounting for the dramatically higher volume of ride share trips compared to the volume of taxi trips.

I think that even without revolutionizing stagnated practises in the US, some points are in favor of indoor farming. Also, indoor farming might never be able to reach the same levels of food overproduction there is today using open fields etc., but I think there are other considerations which make indoor farming desireable.

Firstly, geography: there are places with somewhat long periods of darkness and/or cold, where agriculture is feasible only during the relatively short, but often intense, summer season. For example mid-to-northern parts of the Nordics. Indoor farming can deliver throughout the year.

Secondly, logistics/sustainability/locality: it's more sustainable to farm locally than to transport something from the other end of the world, or even from the other side of the country. I've seen onions from New Zealand in the shops here in the Nordics and it's probably normal but I thought it was downright weird.

Thirdly, organic farming: by being able to control the growth environment, the amount of pesticides and insecticides should be greatly reduced, maybe even down to nothing.

Fourthly, the known-unknown future: an ongoing major change in climate will likely make some of the nowadays arable land non-arable. For example rising sea levels threaten rice production in low areas of Asia, and so on. Dr. Gwynne Dyer spoke (in "Geopolitics in a Hotter World") of a rule of thumb where one degree (Celsius) rise in average global temperatures loses 10% of global food production. If we expect over 3 degrees then one third of global food production will be gone. Maybe that's OK if the world becomes better in logistics, but I think the key is to grow locally and indoor farming is possible basically anywhere.

I'm an opensmtpd developer.

As far as opensmtpd is concerned, it is production ready and has been used in high volume environments sending mails to millions of recipients daily, handling multi-million queues.

The project was started in 2008 so when it comes to being run in production environments, I think we can claim that it's ready :-)

Now as for the what you would gain, I won't do proselytism, we have published a couple presentations on our website which describe how it works and some of the technical details behind it. You will also find lots of technical details on my blog where I post mostly about OpenSMTPD internals.

If you have a running Postfix, I suggest you don't shift but keep your working setup. If you intend to setup a new MX, you should definitely give a try and see how it goes for you.

If an attacker gets a key for a site, I believe they can only serve the Signed Exchange claiming to be the site to a user if the user is at the attacker's own site and then navigates from there to the victim site. And then if the user refreshes, I assume that might force the request to go to the real site.

If an authoritarian can man-in-the-middle network connections and demand keys, it would be much simpler to just MITM the sites without doing anything with Signed Exchanges.

Adobe had a practical monopoly on the interactive web and blew it.

Definitely feel your frustration re: JSON for something as close-to-the-metal as a debugger.

It seems like the issue is understood: people prefer string-based protocols because they can read and interpret them at a glance with no ramp up time, whereas a binary protocol requires extra tooling and manual translation (at least until the programmer memorizes it).

Whether or not programmer comfort/ease should be the primary driver of development decisions, it's hard to pretend like it's not at this point. Probably competes only with "buzzword needed for my resume" in terms of the true rationale behind system design, regardless of the flimsy justifications that people may try to make up.

Taking that into consideration, the reason MS may release a debug protocol based on JSON is that they want developers to use it, and developers will always use the thing that looks simplest at a superficial glance.

I've found, for example, that most devs will cram arbitrarily large quantities of production-critical data into anything that vaguely resembles a data hole and then yell and scream when you try to explain the meaning of "cache", "ramdisk", or even "temporary" to them. Expecting more from the developing public at large is just setting oneself up for failure.

> Yeah but maybe that's a good thing.

Only if you start with the assumption that different individuals voters should have different amounts of political influence, which the NPV movement is explicitly rejecting.

> Otherwise you have a situation like New York where NYC gets to dictate everything since it's super high population density even though the majority of geographical NY state is farmers. So the farmers get screwed over by the interests of the city folk who have never even stepped foot out of the city.

I think the problem here is that you're portraying it as if cities or states are the agents making decisions, rather than individuals. Obviously the electoral college establishes states as the agents making decisions in Presidential elections. The NPV movement seeks to make individuals the agents that decide Presidential elections.
I can only recommend TimescaleDB. It solves the right problems (storing timeseries) while not creating new ones (deployment, backup, hot failover) as it relies on Postgres to provide the underlying infrastructure. I stored 100 million sensor samples in TimeScale and had not issues with scaling on medium sized boxes, despite issuing complex time-series queries.

As for the hosting option, currently sadly AWS doesn’t offer Timescale as part of RDS. There are two options: Azure offers Timescale now as part of their hosted Postgres. Or you go with aiven.io who can host you postgres with TimeScaleDB on all cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, DO, ?) as a service, including replicas and backups.

Overall, I’m very happy to see the Postgres ecosystem growing.

You say that, but this still relies on trust of the institution. If you can't verify that your recorded vote matches what you put in, how can you trust it? All the ballots could've been switched out, or something. You are choosing to trust the institution.

Everyone has different levels of trust, and I'm sure generally the chance of some grand voting conspiracy is very low; however, for me to fully trust the system I would need to be able to verify the count myself, and verify that my own vote was recorded correctly.

Personally this feels more important than some issue around buying votes etc. That is mostly illegal, and plenty of people find ways to indirectly achieve the same effect anyway...

Vanilla qmail was never an open relay unless you really intended to configure it as one. It's just that the only relay controls were IP-based. Back in the day, before AUTH was widely supported, I used a really nice "relay-ctrl" add-on from Bruce Guenter for POP-before-SMTP.

For mandatory user-facing TLS and AUTH on port 587, and opportunistic server-to-server TLS on port 25, I've written https://schmonz.com/qmail/acceptutils.

How can you find love that’s one in a million by hanging out at a bar that welcomes at most five new faces every night? Do “friends of friends” introduce you to 20 potential dates a day?

This assumption strikes me as a fallacy. I never understood why even bother with online dating where odds are severely skewed for guys, when it's so much easier to find dates through your social circle, aka simply doing what you love and organically surrounding yourself with interesting women.
