In my opinion this is a fascinating approach, and it may end up transforming our industry.

But the main question I've had is how big the overhead is, specifically since modules don't share their wasm Memory. That means data will be constantly copied between them. Compared to regular static or even dynamic linking, that may be a noticeable slowdown.
Unfortunately there are some ancient but still supported old OpenGL extensions that could allow arbitrary code execution on GPU. New ones too.

E.g. uploading a fake "already compiled" shader binary in OpenGL 4 via glProgramBinary. I'd be surprised if these are actually validated. (Well more than a CRC plus length. On GCN it is CRC32. On Intel's, some hacked SHA256-alike.)

SPIR-V probably is better checked, but I wouldn't trust it farther than I can throw it. There's too many vendor and architecture specific extensions.
The distribution I use uses a much newer version of systemd. There still isn't any issue not using things mentioned like e.g. networkd and so on.
Every failed drive I have owned was a Seagate too.
I have a few domains without private registration. I often get an email a few months before they're due to expire from a business that will renew them. It's very strongly worded about how I'm about to "lose them", lots of capital letters and lots of red text. The cost to renew is $90 or so.

I've often wondered how many people fall for it (I assume enough they keep doing it), and whether they actually renew them, or just take some money and run.
According to [1], slaved population by Aztec was sacrificed by the thousands, so I could see the slaved people treating the newcomers as gods, or more likely liberators and joining them in the war against Aztec Empire.

We keep it very simple as well.

Postgres read-replica for cheap realtime stuff,
Redshift for the larger sets,
Airflow to manage transfers,
and Metabase to visualize and share.
We also collect data from a bunch of APIs, but those each run via their own job and store in Postgres.

We also try to define wide short tables in Redshift that enable users to use Metabase to ask questions.

I was very happy with Metabase. Being that we can't afford Looker right now (but we would all love to) it is pretty solid.
I would be surprised if they did. Kubernetes takes a long time to build up internal expertise around, whereas I imagine the mouse can throw money at AWS all day.

Regulation exists to protect people, property, the environment, or national interests. It largely comes from a reaction to harms.

That’s not to say things evolve and regulation should keep up (or that it’s ineffective for its goals), but I don’t understand why there’s such a fervent backlash against it, particularly from the right. It largely feels fueled by those who wish to profit from its undermining, and one particular party has let it be known they’re open for business in that respect.

Did these concerns exist in say, the 1960s? 1910s?
This has not been an issue for awhile.

That's specifically reverse image search, I find that image search itself has gotten much better at generic search terms.

I agree that the generic results on reverse search are annoying, but my guess is that it isn't replacing exact results, but rather giving you something when there would've been no results at all. If you search for an exact frame that does exist, it usually finds it correctly.
There's different ways to look at it. Evolution doesn't plan, and the development of this or that compound is driven by random mutation- but it reliably exhibits all kinds of emergent behaviors, like evolutionary arms races, convergent evolution, and so forth. Like many other systems with feedback, given a set of constraints it reliably trends towards a local optima.
Maybe you’re the one who broke it by scrubbing too much ;)
Can't say I have much confidence in Snopes. Over the years, I have seen at least a few Snopes articles on topics beginning with "FALSE" which then go on to list several facts supporting the notion that the claim actually is true, but then defer the final word to so-called experts, who arguably have a conflict of interest in said matters.
We use BigQuery as the data warehouse - there are airflow jobs to periodically load data into BQ - most of these are simple python scripts.

Metabase for most of our simple BI metrics - Tableau for some advanced users doing more complicated stuff.
It’s worth noting that one of the more successful ways to evolve is to be so appealing to humans that we cultivate the species and farm it.

Incidentally, we are the only species on the planet that will sit there with our mouth burning from a jalapeño and wonder, “how can we make this hotter?”
Yes, it is alive because the Spanish did do things like cutting the hands and feet of entire indigenous settlements, as they did with the village from which the mapuche general who resisted the initial Spanish drive into Chile suffered.

The somewhat reasonable laws regarding the encomienda system were pervasively circumvented by the encomenderos by always demanding tribute in labor, and having it paid for generations.

The mestizaje and conversion to Christianity was used, in the end, to also circumvent laws regarding the treatment of natives by creating an entirely new underclass of people lacking in rights.

The Black Legend is what's known in Latin America as "history".

> A dictator is not elected. It specifically means people do not choose the leader, whereas in a democracy you do have the power vote for candidates and run for office yourself.

So? It's just a society that's structured a little differently. There's "nothing" stopping you from taking the insane gamble to topple the dictator, and you would have a chance at success. Perhaps that chance can be reckoned as being "fair."

> Instead of telling me my question is wrong or saying I have inherent biases, why not provide the actual argument?

I've told you already: your premises are flawed.

> Capitalism is nothing but an economic system where an individual owns the means to production. That's it. Nothing more. You take the risks, create leverage, and either suffer the failure or enjoy the profit. Nobody needs to give you permission or gets to tell you what to do. It's the ultimate freedom to create your own living....

> Again, if those at the bottom are at a sufficient level of comfort, then there is no need to take from those above. And if political power is properly isolated from the influence of wealth, just about every issue with the wealthy now will go away.

Again, that kind of isolation is impossible. Let's consider a simple, extreme scenario that's illustrative: imagine a capitalist society where one person has managed to own everything, but deigns to employ all the common people and provide them with a "sufficient level of comfort." Even if there's still some nominal democratic system, it can't truly function. He owns and therefore controls the presses, the TV stations, and the servers, so only messages he approves can get out. The economic power of his wealth gives him control over the electoral system, and thus extreme political power. The democratic processes would be turned into a sham. Attempts at "proper isolation" would be incompatible with the rights of control that wealth implies, and would amount to taking property away from the world-owner.

Furthermore: In this scenario, no one can capitalistically challenge the world-owner's economic power, since he totally controls the resources they'd need to do so. No one else has their own freedom or autonomy, since they live in his system. It's also likely they'll disagree with the his idea of what a "sufficient level of comfort" is (as the history of shitty working conditions attest that owners have poor sense of this). The common people who may want to take away the world-owners wealth aren't driven by envy, they're driven by a desire for freedom and autonomy of their own.

This scenario is extreme, but its broad features hold in other systems of extreme inequality, such as a single corporate world-owner or an aristocracy. Democracy functions best when there aren't the extremes of inequality. You could say the same thing about capitalism, too (if your focus is on the general welfare and not some individual).

There's all kinds of books and resources that go into these topics and ideas much more skillfully than I can. I suggest you seek them out.

Evolution does not plan, but it does react. Capsicum seeds eaten by birds have a reproductive advantage over seeds eaten by mammals, so a defense chemical in the fruit that discourages consumption by mammals without affecting birds is not a coincidence.

This is why it is necessary to stretch bird nets over research-breeding beds for strawberries, to get varieties more attractive to paying human customers. Otherwise, the evolutionary pressure to be attractive to birds still heavily affects the results.
A side note: for anyone not aware (or confused by Silicon Valley tradition on constantly rewriting origin stories), TripAdvisor started in the dot com bubble as a B2B site. They clearly stated their business model was to provide reviews to other sites. Only that after the bubble burst, TripAdvisor had none left. They then basically invented modern SEO: long descriptive URLs, pages pulled out of a db with keyword variations in mind, constantly refreshing content with user submissions, and, the killer, buying links to influence Google’s naive ranking methods (which quickly evolved this to buying entire sites for their SEO potential). The billion dollar public valuation is entirely the result of a decade long SEO play.

(Source: was in online travel related business at the time. Was the first to buy links form Matt at SeatGuru, later acquired by TripAdvisor)
I think the traditional media companies will be happy enough if all of the streaming companies fail due to fragmentation and they can ramrod cable back down everyone's throats. Even a streaming failure might be a win for traditional media companies. It might even be the biggest win, honestly. I don't know, but it seems like there was more money in traditional media than in streaming. The brief point in time where everyone was paying for both was probably ideal. But now that a sizable portion of the population have cut out $100+ cable bills (plus cable ads) in favor of 1-3 $10 streaming subscriptions (without ads) makes it seem like traditional media was way more profitable.
I’d rather start with something provably secure and slower, and then optimize its performance and features over future iterations and versions.

Starting with speed and trying patch in security doesn’t seem to make things actually secure.
> someone mentioned the spec for WebAssembly is generic enough to apply outside of the web

Absolutely. The spec provides a set of instructions and their semantics. Browsers provide a set of common runtime APIs. Non-browser environments can provide the sandbox with any API surface area they want.

> in any runtime this includes NodeJS but also excludes it as we see future runtimes

node.js is working on WASI support, and I'd also expect to see versions of JavaScript that run inside the WebAssembly sandbox. When we say "any language", that includes people who want to run JavaScript.

> Aside from WebAssembly being in every modern browser what do you think will be the next killer feature for WebAssembly?

Shared-nothing linking; libraries that don't have to trust each other with their entire address space. I see WebAssembly as the future plugin interface for any software that wants to be extensible.

> It would also be interesting to have an embedded WebAssembly plugin runtime, much like Lua is used all over now that you mention all those examples.

wasmtime is easy to embed; it only takes a handful of lines to load a WebAssembly file, hand it a few functions of your choice, and run it.

See https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-demos for various demos of how to embed wasmtime.

Forums are for chronological discussion. New comments bury old comments. People talk past each other or in circles. A platform designed for rational debate puts a statement at the top and collects pro/con arguments under it. You win such a debate by curating a concise list of effective statements, not by talking longer than your opponent can.

Rational debate can happen in a discussion forum, but forums aren't really designed for it.
Your criticism here seems intellectually dishonest to me. The claim is mostly false. Democrats != The Democratic Party. Based on that, the handful of Democrats that attempted to file articles without the support of the rest of the party don't really support the claim that "The Democratic party has tried to impeach" and, as mentioned in the article, one of those was a bipartisan attempt but still counts.

That means that, at best, 2 of the 6 examples count as "The Democratic party" and, at worst, 3 of the 6 if you count Nixon.
I wonder how that plays with their canabilizing of Hulu subscribers. Does it count those subscribers in the 60 million?
Essentially HIPAA is /the/ responsibility of the healthcare provider - not Google. I am not sure about the transferrance and the laws there but not giving out is the less famous provider's job. They operate on an unavoidable consequences to a designated entity for enforcement - no excuses or buck passing they signed off on it sort of thing.

It doesn't preclude other crimes whether from hackers but doesn't technically guarantee them in Google's part. Technically the provider could have just given sensitive information like complete idiots because they were asked.
I think that's what's being missed in this. DN ripped this guy off and published his photo without paying him for it. When he does the work of tracking them down and figuring it out, AND after he went to a lawyer to go after DN, they offered him their standard fee plus a couple hundred bucks for his trouble. And when he's not satisfied with that, he's the bad guy.

This apparently happens enough for there to be a cottage industry of lawyers going after big publishers who are ripping off small-time photographers. It seems like this whole thing needs serious reform, but probably not by going after people trying to get paid from a big org using their work.

Through the years I've bought domains for hobby projects and such that ultimately I'll let expire. Usually after receiving tons of emails, such as you've described, it's followed by a "we now own your domain, pay up" threat.

I've even had firms purchase other extensions for my domain (particularly a .org, .net, or .co), then email me asking to buy it from them. I usually respond and tell them I'm selling the .com domain myself and they can purchase it directly from me for half of the price they're offering to sell me the other extensions.

No one has ever taken me up on my offer.
Thank you for your feedback. Have you tried out our control panel, what can be improved in your opinion? Although I could not find any host which offers 50+ players for $9.99, I would strongly doubt the validity of the offer. It is simply not possible to maintain a server for 50+ concurrent players for 10 bucks. Maybe the 50+ slots are referring to savegame slots? We at FactorioServerHosting.com offer arbitrary many savegame slots.

We're working on that. We want to make it possible for modules to share memory in a controlled way, without giving access to their entire address space.
I wasn’t trying to say Pascal is problematic beyond toolchain logistics. Pascal is no longer mainstream and using it probably means using a text editor or an unfamiliar IDE. Compared to more familiar languages, you’re pretty much on your own to figure out tools unless you already use Vim or Emacs. Which why people use Vim and Emacs.

Now you have three problems...without regular expressions.

Properly registered copyrighted works invoke statutory damages which are designated by legislation. Several hundred thousand dollars per infringement.

Legally speaking this is no different than you selling copied DVDs on the street corner and Sony catching wind and coming after you for damages. They're not going to ask for $75 (five times a $15 disc), they're going to ask for statutory damages for each infringement you've made (potentially per song for a CD, etc).

This guy has just made a business out of monetizing that for clients who can't be bothered to do it for themselves. A true entrepreneur in the spirit of HN, find a niche that your clients don't want to do for themselves or are not capable of doing for themselves, and monetize it.

This is much less cut-and-dry than patent trolling, where the real problem is that the patents should never have been issued in the first place. He's representing real clients whose works have really been infringed, and by statute they are entitled to large damages. If you want to fix that, go after the concept of statutory copyright damages.

I love Democracy Now but if they want to use this guy's photos they should approach him for licensing, not just use them and cry about the damages when he or his lawyer comes after them.

We do not need to set up a two-track system where Disney gets $300k per infringement and a small photographer gets $500 per infringement.

I blog to share my thoughts with myself, but in public. I blog with the intent of consolidating what I'd just learned or experienced in my mind. I've had some popular posts inbetween years of content that nobody cares about, and sometimes I'll have a reader email me about an old post I wrote and describe how it's helped them in a recent project. Or sometimes someone will comment about how they just saw a post mentioned in a conference slide, and they're commenting on it _from_ the conference. Or I'll notice traffic coming in from an online newsletter about some programming topic. Those emails and brief spikes make me feel nice. The occasional acknowledgement from a reader is like a bonus to what's essentially a private diary I don't expect anyone to take interest in.
>spin something that's true as being false, by slightly changing the question

Do you have an example of this?
Agreed. Just because Scott Hanselman, or anyone else, says something is so, doesn't mean it is. Some software doesn't actually need or benefit from constant updates, and I think it's fair to say lynx probably falls into this category.
Spanish Crown edicted some laws to protect the natives https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_Burgos

What legal protection had the native population in the American colonies or British Empire?
Indeed. Last night I was telling my wife that it'll be real interesting to see how well the launch goes and that I'd expect them to have continuous issues for the first 3-6 months (which may be Netflix's only prayer).

Video is hard to get right, with quirks across many combinations of platform/device/OS/browser version/video card/playback resolution/format features, and it consumes around 90% of total internet traffic. Netflix has spent the last decade building and tuning a truly world-class content delivery system (big props to all the Netflix HN readers). There's no way Disney would've been able to match that prior to go-live.

The logical conclusion, of course, is that Disney should've just bought Netflix, and it wouldn't be too surprising to see that happen now that their internal attempt has proven that pixie dust doesn't go quite far enough to magically remediate the limitations of physics. Gotta get Netflix-esque content delivery appliances colocated alongside ISP hardware for that type of thing.
