Keep in mind that RAID5 isn’t feasible with multi-TB disks (the probability of failed blocks when rebuilding the array is far too high). That said, RAID6 also suffers the same write-hole problem with Btrfs. Personally I choose RAIDZ2 instead.

I too used to work at Be (Hi!) as well as developed applications for BeOS. I also worked at Apple on various releases of OS X. NextStep was far ahead of BeOS on multiple fronts. BeOS was a lot of fun to work on, but only scratched the surface of what was needed for a truly commercial general purpose OS. If Apple would have acquired Be instead of Next, who knows what the world would be like today. Apple ended up with a large number of former Be employess as well (some directly and others from Eazel.)
I’m surprised he didn’t throw in a child pornography justification. It would be the most plausible one too—I know parents who are terrified about their kids sending photos/videos from their phones.
We used the LSI 9286CV-8e (or dell equivalent) which was somewhere between $1000-$1500 back in the day. Worth it compared to babysitting any software RAID IMO.

I have been trying to convert a bunch of my non-tech social network to start using privacy respecting services (DDG/Signal/Tutanota primarily) and have seen more of apathy than pushback. People seem to have no qualms about their search history/messaging being analyzed/indexed/used for targeting as long as they can keep using those services free.

Not to be confrontational, but what is Facebook’s monopoly? I don’t use it or any of their other products and I’m not missing anything. We could say monopoly of social, but then there is Twitter et al, for messaging, I have iMessage and email, for photos, I can email or iMessage them. For online advertising, there is Google and others, for offline ads, there is print and TV. I’m not getting what Facebook’s monopoly is..
Yes. This always amazed me with BeOS. It would play 6 movie simultaneously making my PC very slow but still responsive. As if the framerate just went down.
> When you see a report of an interesting study, contact the authors and push them with hard questions: not just “Can you elaborate on the importance of this result?” but also “How might this result be criticized?”, “What’s the shakiest thing you’re claiming?”, “Who are the people who won’t be convinced by this paper?”, etc.

That's a nice set questions, unnervingly disarming! Versatile too - it would be interesting to see some journalists use a similar line of enquiry with pronouncers of political policy.

I think the optimal number of RAIDz5 disks is 3, if you just want performance. But this wastes lots of space of course. Also, the number of SAS/SATA-channels per controller and the topology of expanders is important. Thats why I don't think there is a recipy, you have to try it out for each new kind of hardware.

And as another thread pointed out, stripe size is also an important parameter.

> and given Oracle's interface copyright suits (see Java)

This seems pretty ironic, given that the whole problem is Linux developers trying to claim and enforce that only other GPL code is allowed to use its APIs (which, IMHO, goes beyond both the intent and letter of the license). The issues aren't exactly the same, but Linux sure seems to be a lot closer to Oracle than to Google here.
Makes sense. The staff are not so enthused workers.

They don't care for these people, they don't have any special ties with them (e.g. like family), and if they could dispose them and keep the money they would. Keeping them sleepy and docile removes them from most of their day, and makes their jobs easier.

No. VR is probably destined to remain a niche interface. There just aren't enough potential applications which would benefit from VR, or which would be improved with VR. It won't be adopted en masse because there will never be that great a demand for it.

Although if the price went down, what demand there was would probably be met. I definitely don't want to pay $400 or more for something that should just be a peripheral.

Perhaps you only get to where Apple is with world-class marketing.

Apple's iPod wasn't the first mp3 player, and it for damn sure wasn't technically superior.

The iPhone was not the first smartphone, nor the first phone with a touchscreen, nor the first phone with a web browser, nor the first phone with an App Store. It arguably had a better UX than incumbents, but better UX doesn't win markets just by dint of existing.

The iMac was a cute computer that couldn't run prevalent Windows software and didn't have a floppy drive.

Recent MacBook Pros have an awful keyboard, not just aesthetically but with known hardware problems. I understand at long last they're reverting to an older, better design.

Tech and expertise don't win just because they exist.

"The features it introduced that were brand new at the time are now ubiquitous — things such as preemptive multitasking"

Without taking anything away from actual new things introduced in BeOS, preemptive multitasking and dual CPUs were not "brand new". Computer system had been doing these for a long time before 1995, or even 1991 when BeOS was initially developed. Heck, minicomputers were doing this stuff in the 80's!

"Same" for the last ~4 years, starting with 8 disks and as of 2018, the 24-bay enclosure is full. Each vdev is a mirrored pair split across HBAs to sedate my paranoia. I've replaced a few drives after watching unreadable sector count slowly increase over a few months. I've also switched out most of the original 3TB pairs to 8TB and 10TB pairs. ~42TB usable and the box only has 16GB of RAM (because I can't get the used 32GB sticks to work, it's a picky mainboard and difficult to find matching ECC memory here in Europe). I haven't powered down much except to attempt to replace the RAM or during extremely hot days. Read/write speed is more or less max gigabit, even during rebuild after hot-swapping drives.

Mark is lazy and value signalling.

--There are a number of areas where I believe governments establishing clearer rules would be helpful, including around elections, harmful content, privacy, and data portability.

Mark could do a lot on his own without waiting for government.

Mark could:
Ban harmful content, he is a US citizen and could start with keeping a tighter lid on content that doesn't conform with non extremist western values. And then integrate other value systems shortly over time.

Mark could:
get out of all election advertising and push Facebook to be a place where everyone doesn't talk about that stuff and ban targeted political adds and just do other stuff.

Mark could:
Easily respect peoples privacy. I hardened my facebook profile a while back to remove most public content and the level of granularity to the privacy controls seemed like it was intentionally made difficult to do what I was doing. Dark patterns.

Mark could show leadership. he really could, he doesn't.

As for me, I didn't get a DM, just a shadow ban for a controversial comment (xiphias is my original user name). A few months after not ever being voted up somebody wrote to me that she sees that I'm shadow banned even though I'm writing constructive comments.

At the same time I don't know anything even comparable to HN, so I shy away from controversial wording / topics, and this way things that I write goes through the ,,dang'' filter. I still think that he's much more constructive than what would be here without him at this scale of (non-geek) users.

>Advertising as we know it is well and truly dead

Based on what? More people are spending more money online than ever, the holidays alone in 2019 broke records at an increase of 3.4% over the previous year's sales [0].

That is on top of an increase of 2.8% the previous year, something which was heralded as a disappointment [1].

Given the above, people are clearly being guided what to buy and where to buy it, so how could one realistically claim that "advertising as we know it is well and truly dead"?

> Generational Change

I could do without paid PR fluff.

"When I started Facebook, one of the reasons I cared about giving people a voice was that I thought it would empower my generation"

I'm pretty sure this was not one of his goals when he started facebook.

> A New Private Social Platform

So more facebook, just bite-sized for smaller groups.

> Decentralizing Opportunity

Essentially libra.

> The Next Computing Platform

Oculus.

> New Forms of Governance

"There are a number of areas where I believe governments establishing clearer rules would be helpful, including around elections, harmful content, privacy, and data portability. I've called for new regulation in these areas and over the next decade I hope we get clearer rules for the internet."

Although I somewhat sympathize with his predicament here, whose regulation is he talking about? If governments step in, then facebook would have to ultimately fracture into national facebooks. US, European nations, India, Middle eastern nations, etc are not going to have the same ideas about elections, harmful content, privacy and data portability. Even within the US, we are not going to have real consensus on this issue. This is where principles could help, but principles always seem to lose to political and financial interests.

In short, zuckerburg envisions we'll be using facebook on oculus paying with libra while governments solve all of facebooks intractable problems for him.

I used a Lime scooter in Brisbane Australia when I there for a wedding last year, it was a great experience. Easy to find, quick to get around, convenient and inexpensive.

Saw both tourists and locals using them and they were always placed neatly and out of the way.

It’s called hypocrisy! He pretends to care for decentralization while he pushes policies which fortify a monopolistic hold on social media.

$500 wholesale a scooter, $2 average revenue a ride, $5 a day to juice them. If one lasts several hundred rides it might make a profit.
first of all, yes, anything of value not bolted down is going to get stolen pretty fast in most american cities.

bikes are a particularly easy target. most people seem to use those U-locks that can only go through the frame and one wheel at most. the thief then pops off the other wheel and either pawns it or sells it for scrap. even if you secure the frame and both wheels, people will still strip the shifters and brakes off of it. people can also just cut the lock itself if they bring the appropriate equipment.

finally, nice bikes tend to really stick out. if you lock your $1000 schwinn alongside a bunch of shitty bikes, the thief will go for your bike every time.

Paper is another good option: Tear off a narrow strip from something like a post-it and then fold it over to make a thin strip of 2-4 thicknesses, and run your improvised pick around the recessed edges of the USB port.

Benefits:

It's (A) just abrasive enough to get gunk out of the bottom (B) without being strong enough to bend anything important, (C) you can easily snip off the "tip" to expose a new working-surface, and (D) it's unlikely to shred or break-apart into anything you can't easily remove or blow out.

> So if you are active in a church you belong to a circle that is a little less dog-eat-dog.

That would imply that life in the US ~300 years ago, when pretty much everyone belonged to a church, was less dog-eat-dog.

If anything, I would say it was the opposite. People would often shoot someone—someone who is just as likely as themselves to be a "good Christian"—just for being an interloper on their farmland, i.e. for having the opportunity (whether they took it or not) to make off with some of their turnips.

> You just can't shrink them.

That's not even entirely true, though it requires shuffling around with multiple vdevs temporarily and doesn't presently support raidz. Also vdev removal is primarily made to support an accidental "oops, I added a disk I shouldn't have" rather than removing a long-lived device -- there's no technical restriction against the later case, though the redirect references could hamper performance.

The official stance has always been to send/receive to significantly change a pool's geometry where it isn't possible online.
I never saw BeOS do that with video, but I heard it do it with MP3 files. SoundPlay was a kind of crazy bananas MP3 player -- it could basically act as a mixer, letting you not only "queue up" multiple files but play each of them simultaneously at different volume levels and even different speeds. I've still never seen anything like it outside of DJ software.
What was truly revolutionary for BeOS was the muti-threaded user interface where you could have multiple mice connected to the same machine and they could interact with the UI at the same time. Hardly anyone paid any attention to this. But the possibilities are amazing.
His anecdote does say something though. It suggests that Gandi has a "if we have a bug, it's your problem not ours, sucks to be you" policy, which is exactly what has happened with this data loss issue as well.

Actions speak louder than words. Google famously has a "we don't have bugs, you just don't know how to use it, talk to the hand" policy for example. It is better to learn about the policies due to minor issues rather than major. OP learned of it early on and moved away with little trouble. Others did not learn until now and stayed, and now they are SOL.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2018/home.htm

In the US, 434,000 make the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Another 1.3 million make wages below the federal minimum.

The article mentions raising the minimum wage by 10%, or 73 cents an hour, which would save 1230 lives per year (plus a 10% increase in federal EITC as well). Assuming a 2000 hr work year, this increase in minimum wage would cost $633.64 million nationally for those making exactly minimum wage, and some larger value at least 3x that, if we also bring those 1.3 million making below minimum wage up to minimum wage + 10%. (It's unclear who is making below minimum wage, it might be family farmworkers? $2.13/hr service employees who aren't getting tips? Students exempt from the minimum wage? All of the above?) In any case the cost per life saved using this method at a minimum comes to $1,745,921, but probably around twice that. That might be a good value. Or it might be that there are other methods of saving those lives that would be more effective at lower cost, allowing even more lives to be saved.
I don't really care about bytes of my disk being used. But inodes of my filesystem are never going to be cheap. If there are so many little files in the node_modules dir that it takes ~3 minutes to run `npm install` or to `rm -r` the folder thus created, that's a bit silly.
