There are some similarities, and there are definitely worse technologies you could choose for a message store than Kafka. It's worth calling out the difference between event-sourced and event-based. The former is necessarily the latter, but that doesn't go in the opposite direction.

Event-based just means that communication happens over events. Event-sourced means that the authoritative state of the system is sourced from events. If the events are literally the state, then how those are retrieved begins to matter.

Kafka breaks down as a message store in 2 key ways that I mentioned elsewhere in all these threads.

> The first is that one generally has a separate stream for each entity in an event-sourced system. Streams are sort of like topics in Kafka, but it would be quite challenging to, say, make a topic per user in Kafka. The second is Kafka's lack of optimistic concurrency support (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2260). The decision to not support expected offsets makes perfect sense for what Kafka is, but it does make it unsuitable for event sourcing.

If my only tool were Kafka, then I wouldn't be able to use the messages in the same way that I can with something like Message DB. And that's okay, different tools for different jobs.
> He has made it 1) much harder to get work visas, like anyone hiring top international talent knows

I sure as hell hope so. We have enough people here trying to get decent-paying, full-time jobs. Americans should receive priority in America.

> has created an environment of increased xenophobia that has led to quantitative increases in hate crimes

Maybe, but that's not BECAUSE of it being "much harder to get work visas".

> generally behaves like a strong man which undermines faith (justifiably) in the stability of the country and economy.

Yeah, he's a shitstain on this country, but these problems precede his presidency.

I no longer care about Logitech mouses after I had THREE premium mouses, in succession, to die to the same problem for me personally and additionally one mouse for a person that I recommended it to. All had exactly the same problem -- double clicks registered when clicking left mouse button.

For a premium brand I find it completely unacceptable. Even though it is possible to fix the problem (https://www.instructables.com/id/Repair-mouse-with-double-cl...), I gave up on Logitech mouses completely.
the problem is the timeframe. the decision is a sound one - at some point google has to cut its loses. but not in 3 years -- thats too early. if you want to be in the cloud business, you have to commit to trying to make a run for it for at least 5-7 years. it will take that long for the business to build
> Fighting environmental issues

I’m not talking about fighting “environmental issues” — I’m explicitly talking about a) global climate change, which has little to do with ~75% of the environmental impacts of an electric vehicle, and b) not spending $trillions fighting wars due to Western society’s unslakable thirst for oil. [1]

Let’s not goalpost this — mining & refining metals (etc.) is dirty business, and we should clean it up, but to be clear: it has a very limited impact on climate change.

> extra consumption

Extra consumption? I proposed taking the trillions of dollars spent on military equipment, plus fuel for planes, aircraft carriers, and other ships, tanks, etc., not to mention the deaths of thousands of people — war is “consumption” to an absurd degree — and replacing all that with domestic EVs.

Don’t tell me that’s “extra consumption”. If anything it’s a dramatic reduction in consumption.

[1] Whether you believe the war in Iraq was fought for oil or not, oil is a causative factor: without the presence of oil in the Middle East, and the riches its trade brings to the states in the area, it’s unlikely we’d be fighting there.
System76, Asus, etc. don't run afoul of GPLv3 because they don't restrict what you can install.

Most Android devices also don't violate any GPLv3 licenses, because they don't include any GPLv3 software. GPLv2 software like the kernel doesn't have this same restriction.

Apple decided to take the approach of "don't include GPLv3 software" so that they wouldn't have to worry about it once they fully lock down their computers. If Apple included a modern Bash with MacOS, they would need to give all owners access to any compilers or signing keys necessary to modify Bash and replace the binary that Apple shipped. Today, it's possible to do that. Tomorrow, it might not be.

I wouldn't give any ground on devaluing the Yuan; that just means that the Chinese are more willing to trade real goods for paper. It is the government giving people's stuff away for free, but to foreigners.

The implication is that China will use that to build up internal expertise and atrophy foreign expertise; but that threat can be seen a generation away and given the subsidies the US pours into its own military it is hardly on China if it causes a problem.

Most of the West's economic problems are self inflicted and while the idea of China's erratic government eventually building the world's strongest military is terrifying they haven't done that yet. The West wants an unreasonably high standard of living without working for it and China is just nodding, smiling and getting things done.
I’ve experienced a similar result. TPG bought a large stake in OnSemi. Initially they were going to flip it, so were focused on short term results. Eventually, they realized they had an opportunity to do more and loosened up the purse strings. ONNN bought LSIs fabs in Oregon and was able to refocus as a premium supplier rather than a race-to-the-bottom commodity provider.

Technology should not be inserting itself into the private lives of people and determining the values they can raise their children with. This is something parents should have as a tool.

I've got very similar experience in Akihabara, Tokyo.

Trivial thing happened to my headphones. The wire broke very close to the jack plug because of the frequent bending. There was a young guy there, I told him what happened using my broken Japanese, he patiently listened, took the headphones, made some basic check on them, took my phone number and told me to come in 30 minutes. In 20 minutes I got call that it's done. When it came to payment he asked me how much, I think, I should pay. I've been oblivious so he proposed 500 JPY, which is close to nothing, considering that I've had no tools and spare parts.

London, UK - the same situation happened. I've been told to throw it away.

I dislike webassembly, but I dislike the direction web is going in general. Everything has to be hidden away from user; you have less and less control over what is happening unless you take active steps rein it in.

OTOH, I really do not understand why such technology is needed. Mom and pop store needs smooth unreal engine to show their virtual store?

Can we at least use that technology for something beneficial long term ( say distributed websites )?

I appreciate the efforts being done in this space, but I don't think this is launch ready yet. It doesn't include some of the things that make a SaaS a SaaS, and not a typical user sign up web app with admin panel.

For a SaaS framework you usually need at least: integration with a billing provider (almost always Stripe nowadays), web hook handling for a bunch of services (or a generic way of handling webhooks easily), some kind of social auth integration framework or ready built integrations for a bunch of services, bulk email support, a modular dashboard (seems you have the start of this?), a landing page generator with pricing tiers that integrate with the backend somehow, a team management option for users.

Have a look at Laravel Spark, or some of the other premium SaaS frameworks available right now for what people a now expecting of these frameworks.

Also, I'm a little dubious about your license (seems to be fixed now?). You need to be crystal clear about whether or not this is open source, or if you are trying to sell a product. "SaaS as a Service" (or SaaSaaS as I like to call it) seems to have blown up recently, but I'm usually wary of things like this. When making a SaaS, I like to keep margins and fuss as low as possible, and including a piece of software that might cause me legal trouble down the track is a big no-no.
No, not really. This was a couple of years ago and I haven't done anything since. I always meant to write a blog post about it, but never got around to it.

I disconnected it completely a long time ago because it started to make the relays stick and all the switches in the house stop working. It's actually my parent's house, so I didn't want to make modifications to it or affect the current switches at all, just add a little smartness. I still want to get back to it when I get the chance.

The house was built in the mid-70s by a commercial electrician, and even the closet lights are connected to it. There are about 50 switches/relays in total. We've had to replace 3 or 4 of them in the last ten years, but that's all.

All the low-voltage wiring is out in the open. The relays are cylindrical and poke out of knockouts in the relay panel. The relays are of the latching type, so only require power to switch on/off. Three wires to each relay and switch: red/on, black/off, and white/common.
That was since added.

This is the sort of generic flamewar tangent that the site guidelines ask you not to post to HN.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If every Chinese topic turns into the same "China vs. the rest of the world" discussion—or to put it more generally, if every thread gets sucked into whatever generic black hole happens to be nearby—then it becomes impossible to discuss anything specific on HN. Specifics are where the intellectually interesting material lies.

Compare the topic of the OP—electronics markets in Shenzhen—to what we see in this subthread: "China is waging economic warfare", "They aren't all evil", "Some are very evil", "HN is full of anti-Chinese comments and this will only continue as the war with Eastasia is in progress", etc. The generic discussions are always the same, and usually turn nasty, perhaps because the mind craves extra action or amusement to compensate for it all being so repetitive.

I stopped using it about a year ago and was quite dissatisfied as well. Kinda thought they’d put a bit more effort to create a good product afterwards but somehow it looks like a low priority thing for Google.

Because some poor family is struggling to eat so they send their 14 year old kid to hustle up some income. That kid gets exploited by their employer, but has to accept it because little sister and brother and mom are depending on them.

Substitute 28 year old immigrant mom--or 55 year old grandpa--for 14 year old kid. The story repeats and repeats.

When you're hungry you accept conditions you wouldn't otherwise. You may think this is fine and fitting. But California has decided there are limits to what is fine and fitting. Perhaps they ban child labor below age 12. Perhaps they insist that pregnant mothers can't be forced to lift more than 100kg. Maybe they bar disfigurement as acceptable corporate punishment for mistakes. Maybe they say you can't pay less than $100/hr.

Some of this regulation may seem ridiculous to you. I'm guessing you've never been hungry and exploited. You and I can argue about whether $100/hr is the line between exploitation and entitlement. Should employers really be forced to pay for insurance?

I hope, though, that you understand that most people think that employers do have certain obligations. And whether you believe that or not, the reality is that employers are regulated. So it creates an unlevel playing field when one company recognizes their employees and follows the rules, while another rushes them out the back door into a ditch whenever somebody that looks like a regulator shows up.

I agree that two consenting adults should be able to negotiate terms of employment. I recognize that the power dynamic between parties is not always equitable. That's never been the case for me; perhaps it's never been the case for you. But it is the case for a lot of Californians. And I think that it is reasonable to apply rules to everybody instead of trying to figure out which employers are scummy and which aren't.

I personally think my kid doesn't need to be paid a minimum wage, because I provide their food, roof, bed, insurance, etc. I want them to work for the experience. Nobody is really depending on the paycheck. But perhaps their coworker is depending desperately on that paycheck. We could regulate that only desperate people have to be paid a minimum wage, but that seems pretty unworkable. So, as it stands, my child's employer has to pay them minimum wage even though my child might be willing to negotiate for less.

I'm ok blaming that on California, even though my child doesn't live or work in California.

They like to use small teams. I wouldn't be surprised if their least-used AWS product is still profitable (aside from brand-new stuff or obvious non-profits like Deep Racer).

No they won't. This is ridiculous hyperbole. They've barely shuttered any real enterprise projects and even those were miniscule in usage.

I can recommend "The Eighth Day of Creation" as a very well-researched history of the early days of molecular and structural biology. The value comes from the deep relationship between the savvy journalist-author and the scientists who did the work. It also contains the most balanced and fact-driven arguments about Rosalind Franklin and Watson/Crick. Also, the writing is just excellent.

It was designed to appeal to younger viewers and to increase ratings, which had fallen in the past decade. The segment is presented from the perspective of a three-year-old child as represented by its host, the Muppet Elmo, performed by Kevin Clash in the original series and Ryan Dillon in the 2017 reboot.

I think you're discounting the cost of pre-network human communication a bit too much.

Before computers, it was nearly impossible to copy a musical song from one person to another faster than the time it took to perform it. And to go that fast, you needed someone trained to perform it well enough (cheap, but not free) and someone trained to memorize it by ear in one take (expensive). To do it more slowly, with more repetitions, you still needed someone that could perform what they had learned, which was cheap, but not free.

The cost of connecting the teacher with the learner was likewise not free. They had to be in the same place, physically. They might meet up, learn each other's repertoire, then split up again, so as to not compete with each other by working the same territory. The invention of written musical notation was a huge leap forward, in that it enabled the profession of composer/lyricist to be separated from that of the musical performer.

Millennia ago, great works were lost completely, because they were not copied enough to survive the deaths of everyone who knew how to reproduce them. That is not a thing that happens when copies are cheap. Even things that were written down have been lost, because copying written materials was not cheap enough until the printing press.

If making a copy takes a specialist four hours, and consumes paper and ink, that is nowhere near "close enough to zero".

Now, you can copy music in a millisecond, using a device that nearly everyone carries in their pocket, to anyone in the world who likewise carries a similar device. The cost is still not zero. It is just now too small to think about, unless you are making millions of copies per second.
