I was surprised how much I actually ended up enjoying watching other people stream their games. I just couldn't grasp why Twitch was so popular, and why people just didn't play the games themselves - until I finally watched some streamers. It's like they were able to box the younger sibling experience -- the older sibling is playing whatever game, and the younger is there watching and enjoying the experience (perhaps with a disconnected controller they can randomly press with no actual outcome). Over the month of October I saw some horror streams as well - and there is something really nice about sharing the jump scares etc with a group of people, even when you aren't playing.

Imagine getting 100K Miles out of a turbocharger which can regularly spool to 200K RPMs. those bearings need to be made to incredible tolerances, which were not previously cost effective.

This is a good policy, thank you for doing it this way.

Personally I feel that something along the lines of an explanation should also go with downvotes. When I'm downvoted, I would like some feedback on what people didn't like about my post -- do they think I was rude? or did I write something that is wrong, or at least, would need a source to back it up? Similarly, I would also like to give such feedback when I downvote. But downvoting and posting about it is not welcomed by the community.

On Slashdot there is (was?) a rough category to go along with votes, so you could upvote something because it's "informative" or "funny", and downvote because it's "flamebait" or... I don't remember the others. Something like this would make a very useful addition to HN, I feel. The feedback could of course be optional, and only visible to the poster, like the actual score on a post.

Please?

Distributed systems professor here. My lab has been working on a "academically pure" distributed Youtube for 14 years and 7 months now. That means no central servers, no web portals, and no discovery website. Pure Peer-to-Peer and lawyer-proof hopefully. Distributing everything usually means developer productivity drops by roughly 95%. Plus half of our master-level students are not capable of significantly contributing. Decentralised==hard. This is something the "Distributed Apps" generation is re-discovering after the Napter-age Devs got kids/s

Disclaimer; promoting our work here. We implemented a semantic clustered overlay back in 2014 for decentralised video search, that could make it just as fast as Google Servers[1]. This year we finished implementing a real-time channel feed of Magnet links protocol + deployment to our users. Our 51k concurrent users ensure that we can simply re-seed a new Bittorrent hash with 1 million hashes, then everybody updates. Complete research portfolio, including our decentralised trust function [2].

That is an interesting question. Our goal is real Internet freedom. In our case, logically decentralisation is a hard requirement. Our users often don't care. Caching servers quickly introduce brittleness into your architecture and legal issues.

No, it is exclusively the illegal pot farms doing this. Some farmer isn’t growing corn in the national forests — these are illegal drug dealers and generally nasty people that would be more than happy to shoot anyone that stumbled upon their crop. These pot farmers are evil, using land effectively stolen from the public and polluted with no regard for the environment.

The “non clickbait” headline obscures the truth: illegal drug producers have no qualms about illegally using land and illegally using pesticides. The key part of the story is that these are illegal pot growers — this is key to the story because if pot were less regulated, like sorghum for instance, costs would drop to commodity levels and take the profitability out of illegal operations.

Yeah Iceland's definitely a big outlier in this regard, but searching around a bit it seems this pattern holds to some degree in the sort of landscape you referenced, see [1] and [2] (just a couple of relevant papers I found).

I.e. some Norwegian researchers fenced off areas of heaths (the sort of landscape you linked to) and within just a few years those areas were noticeably different.

That's the general effect I'm pointing out, you can't just look at a current landscape that has herbivores on it and conclude it can't be used for other purposes, even something as basic as the tree line can be regulated by those herbivores.

How is that not "very interesting"? It is extremely unusual, the onset of this violence has been very sudden, and the accompanying wave of censorship and debate-suppression that has accompanied it is very much within the scope of what HN regularly discusses.

As for (3), you give yourself away. Your problem is not that it's not interesting but rather you fear the political right and their message about immigrants.

Here's a thought. If their message is merely an "agenda" that they're "pushing", and if they're wrong, the Swedish authorities could kill it dead by simply recording the origins and ethnicities of the people blowing up Sweden and showing that they're all long term Swedes. But they refuse to collect this data, for obvious reasons: it wouldn't show that.

For as long as the Swedish government and people keep engaging in a massive coverup, you will continue to see the Sweden Democrats grow stronger. Their criticisms aren't being answered or met with compromise: they're being ignored, smeared and suppressed.

They could probably have done it before, but this stuff is expensive. The current make/model of the first car I bought in the 90s costs double what it did then if you buy it new. I don't think the demand for efficiency really came in until oil prices started shooting up and the government imposed stricter CAFE standards.
If you can setup data pipelines and pump data into dashboards, the rest is just getting the business to ask the right questions.

the point is that the classic virtualenv does not take care of different base distributions (3.5,3.6,3.7...). You have to install them yourselves and switch them in your PATH before setting up a virtualenv. if this is too much "conceptual load", I wish the parent good luck with finding something not having this problem ;). If there are binaries involved, there is the additional problem that you also depend on compiler features and C-libs, which I wish everyone good luck in replicating in their CI for any language (containerization and NixOS/guix/spack are approaches to that problem)

>Centralization isn't binary -- it's a continuum, and we care about it because of the benefits it provides, not because we think it's an end in and of itself.

Right, but that's not what I'm arguing. I'm talking about centralization as a emergent phenomenon that bypasses the ideals decentralized protocols that the protocol's designers didn't intend.

>If all of those goals can be accomplished with a caching server, then does anyone actually care if it's technically decentralized?

I guess I don't understand the premise then because if that were true, why would the adjective "distributed" even be mentioned in the question "search/discovery in a _distributed_ way?" To me, something about distributed/decentralized as a characteristic in the technical implementation is very important to the person asking the question.

Water vapour is pretty easily re-condensed, though, no? Cars emit their waste products into the air because it’s kind of hard to capture gaseous waste (you would need a compressor, which would use almost as much energy as the car itself.) But if your waste was water vapour, you could just route your gas waste through a condenser column, and then dump it into a storage tank.

And, since the waste product is literally just water, that tank could be emptied pretty frequently—any time you’re near a municipal storm drain, in fact. So you wouldn’t need to worry about your car taking on that much mass.
Illumos is the kernel, and SmartOS and OpenIndiana are both Illumos distributions.

The OS is packaged the same way Linux is, with different distributions maintained by people outside the kernel devs.
I assume most TOS are just a blob of legalese, and not a "this is what it means to behave on this server".

It feels like the trend has been in the other direction. In most services I've interacted with recently, the service often doesn't even tell you that the content has been removed, let alone why. One example is Discord - if a mod removes a comment you made, it just disappears. You might try to repost it, thinking it failed to send. Similarly if you are removed from a server, it simply disappears from your list. This kind of thing is very frustrating/confusing - not that I expect a mod to necessarily provide explanation (though, that's nice) but at least the service saying "hey, that got removed" prevents me from trying to repost it.

The usual explanation involves spammers/scammers. Something like, if they know they got removed for violating some rule or the other, they can use that information to work around it in their next attempt. But for actual human users it can be very frustrating.
The issue goes far beyond the taxes. Last I read, even without taxes/overhead California produces far more cannabis than it's domestic market can consume. The only long term solutions seem to be; crack down on illegal growers or wait out until it's legal at the federal level and interstate commerce is allowed. Cracking down on illegal growers seems unsavory since the government was looking the other way for decades while it was completely illegal plus (my theory at least) the tax revenues on (one day) being the largest producer of cannabis in the US are too appetizing to warrant constricting the industry.

What does this emergent behavior mean in practice? It's not inherently good or bad. If my index becomes more popular than individual nodes, so what? PeerTube is doomed?
As you mentioned, I don't see a problem with this. User experience matters a lot and Google realized this 20 years ago. 1 input, 10 instant results, the rest is history.

I see you don't like this, but slicing up a service to isolated islands won't help much. It's a good step forward, but search is essential and in this case takes very little effort.

Furthermore PeerTube instances are centralized services too, if one gets very popular, then it will thrive / suffer the same way YouTube did.

> Coming up with something truly new is much, much harder than people give it credit for

100% agree, and yet harder still is to keep working on something truly new, trying to drive it forwards, when at best nobody cares and at worst people actively resist the implicit challenge to the status quo. Even, perhaps especially, smart and conscientious people who are already authorities in the field.

I think when people think about innovation being hard, there is a lot of focus on creating good new ideas. They're right, that's really hard, but innovation is about much more than that - it's really about sticking with the good new idea for a long period of time when there are no obvious (to most people) incentives to do so, economic or otherwise.
