I'm not sure why Mr. Rogozin is writing in English and in Forbes, but yes this is mainly aimed at the internal audience.

There's a lot of bitching and moaning in certain Russian circles about how the space program is falling behind and OMG Space-X launched a crewed vehicle, we're all doomed kind of thing.

The reality is that of course Space-X is standing on the shoulders of giants (NASA and US Treasury) and that the Russian space industry, like the rest of the country has had a tough 25 years. I was living in Russia in the early 90s and those were dark times. Space was not a priority then and it is not really a priority now although some progress is being made. As an example: a lot of critical industry and launch facilities literally ended up in different countries overnight.

Also Roscosmos is a government controlled structure and well... there's a reason why NASA had to turn to a private company to get things done. ;)

Now he's probably getting a kick from upstairs and feels he has to write up something like this and genuinely feels like some of the criticism from the peanut gallery is unfair. In the end though, as an outsider now, it looks to me like they are doing a reasonable job all things considering.

The service should be providing the reliable/affordable/no-BS portion. It's $60-ish/mo for gigabit symmetric, $300/mo for 10gig, run by the city, all underground infrastructure. The city power infrastructure is super reliable, so they do have some demonstrated ability...

I have exactly the same problem, so I hate those Wikipedia boxes. Half of the time I go to a Wiki page for some term then switch to another language (either because I searched an unknown word or because I’m searching for a translation) so the box don’t solve my need. The other half I want more info than what is displayed anyway. And I also find super confusing the position of the link, I have to search for it each and every time.

An interesting twist is that most of the game manual is pretend hardware datasheets.

I find this really interesting because it's the exact opposite of how I think. I simply can't wrap my head around the concept, even knowing that many people think the same way.

Twenty years ago I had a friend who was a social worker and I offhand mentioned to her that "well, I'm not my job." She stared at me as if I had two heads and then said, slowly, "I completely agree with you, but you have no idea how rare it is to hear a man say that."

I enjoy my job and I'm happy to do it, but it in no way defines who I am for more than the 8-or-so hours per day I spend at it. The thing is, making your work your identity is almost central to the American male experience, and I doubt that's going away any time soon.

Agreed. I worked at an insurance company early in my career and even though we were updating the company to the newest technology for all the internal apps and theoretically making everyone's lives easier, we were still just kind of a necessary evil because the company could have gone back to using paper if they needed to. I decided to move to companies where software was the focus and that worked very well. I got a lot better, worked with people more like me, and was appreciated a lot more by the companies I worked with.

As the amount of administration support staff and special needs paraprofessionals skyrocketed, the resources allocated to regular students and teachers have dwindled. People feel good about having students with special needs included in regular classes but it has caused an enormous reallocation of resources, shifting massive cash and attention to the lowest performing students.

> Or, as the socialists would call it, when they take control of "the means of production".

> Which is just another way of saying that private businesses are illegal.

No, it's not. Private businesses executed through private labor applied to public capital which the business rents from the state are perfectly compatible with socialism in which private ownership of the means of production is prohibited.

It's true that there are “socialist” states and parties that have banned or sought to ban private business, but that's not essential to socialism.

Also, all of those collectively funded services listed upthread tend to feature public capital ownership of the means of delivering the service as well as public operating funds, and often exclude private ownership of some of the means of delivering those services and/or use of privately owned capital to provide the same service, resulting in a domain in which private capital ownership is restricted.

Leadership roles mean some tasks become 'only you' tasks.

> It's reasonable to be wary with admin privileges. Proprietary freeware comes across as saying You're not allowed to look, just trust me. I'll pass.

I agree with this completely, and I extend it to the operating system itself. I'm at the point (at home) where I no longer need a proprietary, closed source OS for work or for play. Linux and OpenBSD do essentially everything I need in my home office, and at work I've shifted most of my day-to-day over to my Linux workstation. The systems I maintain do of course still run Windows 10 out of necessity for our accounting software, but if we ever switch that over to a hosted solution we will only need one workstation with Windows, and it's not a critical role. The company president has already greenlit working in whatever OS I am most comfortable with, as long as it doesn't hinder my duties, so he's at least open to moving everything over one day.
Serious question: why does anyone work for Amazon?

Exactly.

I see downvotes on my GP post, I'm simply stating the fact: if you need state for a building a powerful webapp then obviously there's better runtimes that PHP+Apache, I don't see how one could disagree with that statement, apart from not having sufficient experience in that matter.

There's plenty of good reasons to counterbalance that fact thought, PHP has a very good ecosystem, multiple mature/powerful web frameworks, and cheap/abundant workforce. But it lacks a state holding runtime and for the most demanding applications it's a sufficiently big technical hassle to encourage seeking other runtime and/or language.

Crux is designed to scale directly based on how RocksDB (or LMDB) performs on a single node, in terms of: sustained ingestion throughput, KV seeks/sec, and the sheer quantity of KV data that can be supported on an array of local SSDs (i.e. easily many billions of small docs). At a higher level this means that point-in-time queries will maintain good performance regardless of how much history is stored, thanks to Z-order indexing [0], and the query algorithm only requires very modest amounts of memory because the KV indexes are lazily streamed out of Rocks and processed tuple-by-tuple (though having more memory is always going to speed things up!).

Beyond the scope of a single Crux node, horizontal read scaling comes for free due to the transaction time model of history (i.e. you can spin up N identical nodes to service all manner of wholly unrelated use-cases with consistent reads).

10 Gbps connectivity is on the smaller side for a Netflix appliance. They won’t even talk to you unless you are doing 5 Gbps of traffic from them.

> Moral nihilism doesn't mean that they're false - it means moral truths don't exist, there is no right and wrong. You were predetermined to care for your happiness

I agree 100%. However, you are mismatching objective moral truth with subjective moral truth. I am saying that once you realize the lack of objective moral truth/existence, all that is left is the subjective. Human nature then essentially requires it to become a collective subjective. Subjective preferences of all being essentially become the practical "morality". That's what I am referring to here, not the objective morality that does not and cannot logically exist.

Morality is derived not from the physical world but from our own moral psychology. If we change humans in any way, we change morality. And thus morality is also different for every human. Traits like our social nature, empathy, and equal lack of inherent meaning then morph the problem into a collective/intertwined singular subjective morality based on the world state itself.

> - but your happiness is already determined. There is nothing you can do to increase or decrease it, it will be what it will be based on the initial conditions.

This is where you conflate determinism / free will with agency / choice, which are not the same thing. We do not have the ability to see our future choices and path, so we still have to "function" through it, even if it's a set path. And the questions we have to answer along the way are the reason we looked into morality in the first place, and are no less important or worth of time and effort.

> It seems, in general, that you need to cling to ethics as a way to convince your belief in determinism - to cover up for its deficiencies, you have to find a way to convince people that ethics still matter, despite continual argument that it doesn't.

You've got the wrong direction of how philosophy works - I started with determinism at the base, I'm simply asking what it leads to. You're only disagreeing with what comes after moral nihilism, but you've made no actual argument other than "no it's not that way". I'd truly love to understand more what your critique of my steps after is.

I doubt we should read too much into the difference between 1.8x and 2x. If there's a long-term trend, it'll take more than one data point to see it.

Both of those things are problematic, IMHO.

As for US sentences being absurdly long, I attribute that to the privatized (profit-incentivized) prison system here. Abolishing that concept would be a good starting point, I think, because it would eliminate a very large chunk of the humanitarian problems in one fell swoop. Then we can work on the rest, starting with the perverse incentives of the legal system itself.

Jeez - how is this supposed to work with OS scheduling? The charm of big.little on arm is that the instruction sets between the big and the little cores are identical. Now the OS has to pin processes based on support for different instructions? What a ridiculous nuisance. Intel really couldn’t discipline themselves just this once and actually implement the same instructions, even if in microcode, for both types of cores?

Are the little cores’ instructions at least a complete subset of the big cores’? Are we going to have some ridiculous situations where the little cores are completely pegged but the OS can’t migrate their processes off to the big core?

Or do kernel programmers need to start chasing Intel and trap/software implement every single future AVX8192AESNISSSE instruction Intel jams into future instruction sets to provide Xeon market differentiation?
