In the beginning it was a bit tricky because the migration to async was happening within the Rust community, so that caused some code churn early on. Lately though it's been smooth sailing.

I'm using tokio-postgres for my database library and both it and Rocket are async, so they synchronize very well together. I do not believe Diesel is currently async, but in either case I'm using tokio-postgres instead so I haven't had to look into how to integrate Diesel with Rocket.

Other than that, my needs were pretty simple and I used well-supported platforms, so I haven't really run into any major issues yet.
Google will return different types of results depending on your query. For example shopping style queries produce Pinterest like sites. Questions produce Yahoo answers, Quora, and other faq style sites. It's much more nuance than just "show a company".

Also the AI you speak of can equally be used to produce content that looks real but is not. It's even possible to produce articles that are impossible to determine if a human wrote it.

We shall not challenge the OSI and FSF definitions, because every principle that they defend is not only worth protecting, but under attack by bad interests. "Challenging" these is how you end up being gaslit by companies which are abusing the open source brand to peddle software that isn't. And such muddying of the waters makes it easier for companies to disregard the terms of copyleft licenses. This is non-negotiable: non-commercial licenses ARE NOT OPEN SOURCE, and people who argue for this are actively causing harm to open source. I expected better from you, Matt.

However - by no means am I suggesting that non-commercial licenses or licenses which don't meet the other OSI or FSF criteria are wrong, or cannot be used to do good - nothing of the sort. But you need to give it another name. Some projects are using "Fair Source", for example.
> So it was not a safe bet in 1996 that Windows and Microsoft would still exist and be a big market player in 2020.

There's an argument they're not. Now obviously windows still dominates the laptop (and desktop) OS market (and I'm not gonna claim Microsoft is doing badly or anything), but it isn't the dominant overall OS due to the rise of mobile and Android.

At wave of computing so far, from mainframes to minicomputers, from minicomputers to PCs and from PCs to mobile, the dominant market leader has been unseated. If viewed in this light, Warren's reticence is prescient.

> Empire is a spectrum or a continuum, not an either/or proposition, and it’s a little bit like the old saying about pornography: You know it when you see it. The United States is an empire, and nobody who works seriously on the subject of empire would be likely to argue otherwise.

What does "empire" mean? I thought it meant "a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government" (from dictionary.com) but clearly he's not using it in this fashion. Is it now another word for hegemon?

If the concept of empire is a spectrum would that mean the US is a very large but relatively very weak empire, as it exerts a lot of influence but little direct control over a lot of its "territory" in the style of other past empires? Does that mean Luxembourg is an empire now, but only at a very very low level of empire?

I guess there's Puerto Rico (and maybe more like that?) – but I don't think this is the sense he means it.

He talks about global military bases making an empire: as both the US and UK have bases in Germany and Bahrain, does that mean that Germany and Bahrain are both part of overlapping US and UK empires? Empires can overlap? Or is the UK too weak and powerless to make an empire - and that means there's now no such thing as a small empire? Does empire just mean "Very powerful and influential country"?

Before I read this article I thought I knew what an empire was and would know it when I see it – now I feel have no idea what an empire is...

I don't mind changing the meanings of words when it makes them more useful - what specific concept beyond "Very powerful and influential" does "empire" now identify?

With google its quite trivial to get actual data rather than estimates.

It doesn't seem controversial that per IIHS stats motorcycles have about 30 times more fatalities per 100K miles than cars.

Likewise I have no reason to disagree with an online Br J Sp Med journal article from '91 that horse riders experience significant accidents once every 350 hours whereas motorcyclists have a serious accident every 7000 hours, or about 20 times more risky, based on ER reports.

So multiplying risk, it seems horse riding is about 600 times more dangerous than passenger car driving.

Another interesting anecdote is "everyone knows" that most accidents happen to noobs because they're distracted so much by learning and not knowing their limitations. So what you're really measuring is the fraction of low time noobs who will be injured by the sport before they escape noob status. That hypothesis would predict that essentially all horse riders will be injured in some way before they escape noob status, a noticeable fraction of motorcycle riders will be injured as noobs although the vast majority will not be injured, and its actually VERY rare for a noob car driver to be injured while learning to drive. In summary, this seems to be a situation where perceived risk matches actual risk.

It would seem as a civilization we do an adequate job preparing teen car drivers as the vast majority of drivers survive their teen driver years, but as a civilization we do a completely inadequate job training horse riders. Or at least based on British data from the 80s as reported thirty years ago; I'm old enough to remember nobody wore bicycle helmets before the 90s; perhaps modern horse rider trainees wear better safety equipment in 2020 than in 1990.

Strange start up tech idea: Smart helmet with GPS and machine vision for horse riders with AI and machine learning to yell in their ear when they're doing something dumb. If essentially all horse riders are injured while learning, they would likely be very motivated to drop some money on your smart AI safety helmet. On the other hand actual risk data indicates a similar product for teen drivers simply wouldn't sell, not having the proposed theoretical magic helm already has a very low accident rate making the helm appear less useful. Edited to note: that's the entire point of my risk rant, do a startup on fixing a problem virtually all of the customers have, not a startup on a problem essentially none of the customers have.

It does nothing of the sort. This is propeganda that mega-corps want you to believe because they are unable to rip off AGPL software effectively. Organizations like Google can afford to not use AGPL software (they can just write their own software), but it costs them money, so they refuse to use AGPL software and spread propeganda that it's impossible to do so, to weaken its market penetration and ensure that they have greater access to software without the responsibility to contribute back.

In actual fact, being compliant with AGPL software is extremely easy. Nothing at all is expected of you if you just ship it into production as-is. And if you modify it, the only obligation is to send the modifications upstream as patches. That's it. Surely any company is capable of completing such a trivial feat.

Just so the North American cyclists and pedestrians don't get too depressed: it's also depressing to watch if you come from other European countries. I for one am from Germany, where the cycling/pedestrian infrastructure is undeniably better in most places, but car traffic still has top priority no matter what politicians may say. Small example: the busy S-Bahn (regional train) / U-Bahn (subway) / bus interchange at Harras in Munich (https://goo.gl/maps/doaJT4vq7viDyK9v5). The western exit of the subway station, which is under the railway underpass, had to be used also if you came from the train station and wanted to legally cross the street to get a bus on the other side - you had to go from level +1 to -1 and then back to ground level. While remodeling the area, they wanted to enable pedestrians to cross at street level too. So now you have traffic lights where pedestrians have to push a button and wait for > 30 seconds to get a green light. Which in most cases means that you have to choose between crossing despite the red light or losing your bus. So a lot of money was spent, but the stated goal of encouraging walking, cycling and using public transit was still turned into a bad joke, because the "prime directive" is still to make sure that pedestrians and cyclists inconvenience car traffic as little a possible.

Are you implying that one company can't fund more than one project?
I’m in my late 30’s and almost all of my good friends with a CS/BIT degree has cycled into management. The interesting thing I’m noticing now is that they all have ideas for projects but zero capacity to build anything because they’ve lost their building muscles. They also seem reluctant to really want to learn anything else which is antithetical to software engineering where a new framework is out every day.
On the flip side, I've seen really good developers be passed up due to the classic code-word: "too expensive"

The only problem I have with that, is that renewables can mostly only be treated as a bonus. Trying to rely on them for baseline power means you have to put out a LOT more capacity than you'd need with fossils.

IMO baseline being nuclear and the rest being mostly renewables (With HEAVY reliance on pumped storage power plants, as a sort of capacitor) is the way to go to minimize emissions.

Pensions are funded by the next generation, just like Social Security and Welfare.

You pay for the previous generation in exchange for the next generation paying for you.

Without this kind of offset, you end up with as much as 10-15% of your population as indigent elderly, homeless and starving, who become MAJOR financial burdens on their children (and I mean MAJOR -- ask someone from China or a similar country about it) or who become homeless or die.

It's unfeasible to set aside the money all at once, and in fact hoovering that much money out of the economy and into investments would have a noticable effect on the economy. You're basically suggesting something outrageous like 5% of GDP stop being transfer payments to poor people who spend it immediately and start being investments into government treasuries and corporate bonds.
