The best networking option available is Comcast Gigabit Pro (2gbps both up and down).

I wrote up details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/fs6un2/comc...

These two articles are also helpful:

- https://binaryimpulse.com/2019/11/comcast-gigabit-pro-instal...

- https://medium.com/@Gtwy/comcasts-2000mbit-fiber-to-the-home...

If you're not looking to spend that much, Comcast gigabit (non-pro) is cheap and gets you 1gbps down, but only 35mbps up. They're annoying to interact with, but once it's set up it's reliable.

Pro-tip: Ignore the Comcast website prices/packages. The only way to work with them is to call and get a friendly sales rep, then ask them to look through their options to find the best gigabit only plan (they have a lot more promotions available than they list online). This might take a few tries if you get someone on the phone that isn't very good. Comcast Twitter support is also pretty helpful.

You should be able to get something around ~$80, but it might require a multi-year contract to lock in the price. I also had to add $50/month to remove the 1TB cap because of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Comcast/comments/dqwsnj/comcast_dat...
Something similar is done where I live, except the last mile is not owned by the government but by a commercial corporation. The government basically states open-access and a level playing field for costs as a requirement for giving the necessary permissions to dig and install fiber.
What would be required to make internet a basic right?
I don't believe this is a 'no true Scotsman' fallacy: the person was replying to someone claiming lockdowns were equivalent to incarceration, but the US-style "lockdown" was much, much less severe than that.
Okay, so, this is not actually practically possible today.

Thanks for elaborating though! I didn't know about this feature of donations.
Hadn't heard of that and had to look it up. To save anyone else the time, apparently Prop 22 is a one that (as best I understand) would reverse AB 5 specifically for app-based driving apps, which seems really narrow and preferential, even by the standards of CA propositions. Here's the Ballotpedia:

Part of the issue may be that the community doesn't know what the current rules are for activating the black bar. So it's difficult to discuss productively. I'd be surprised if there's any bad faith here. Anyone know how it works?
Pascal is a neat little language, but are you really trying to claim that its features are on par with Rust? The grandparent poster might not have picked the best examples (I’d have chosen traits, zero-cost lambdas and syntax macros), but the point is, Rust’s abstractions are inspired by decades of PL theory research that haven’t made their way into any Pascal dialect that I know of.
And this does not work so well either. The problem with many government contracts is not just that they are usually cost plus, but that they do not take the total cost of ownership into account. In your example of roads, if the government put out requests for proposals based on the lowest total cost of ownership of a road over say 100 years, we would have roads engineered to a much higher standard that would not need to be rebuilt at such a high cadence. Whenever government thinks they know how to specify the best engineering method to solve a user requirement, they are generally wrong.
Really? Wouldn't barely profitable businesses cease to be profitable anymore and go bankrupt

Surely if we mandated that the federal minimum wage is $50, we'd see businesses go out of business left and right, correct? Why would we not see a directional change like this for smaller hikes? Do you have any sources?

The best way for QEMU (or anything) to keep improving is to have it written using the languages and tools that the actual maintainers are the most comfortable with.

People suggesting rewrites in X/Y/Z are usually not people maintaining these projects. This is evangelism, but it doesn't help with anything.

The explanation could be that Google would prefer to use the excuse that "it's our objective algorithm that downranked our competitors, not us!"

And before you say "Aha! There you go assuming malice instead of incompetence" - keep in mind that Google has used this "our algorithm is objective so we don't manipulate what appears on our search pages" for years and years. It's the go-to strategy they use to appear neutral when called upon by governments.

Facebook has also attempted something similar in recent cases.
Unfortunately it is under a company known for shutting down products and that spies on you. It is better to use alternatives like Open Street Map, or if there was absolutely no other option, Apple Maps.
The power to create laws is not supposed to be used as weapon. It clearly was in this case.

AB5 was written in bad faith with the goal of hurting specific companies, not with the goal of writing a sensible law that sets a framework for how businesses ought to operate. They wrote it in such a hurry that it unintentionally hurt a bunch of other people and small businesses. That's not how laws are supposed to work.
I believe it is, based on this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/08/microsofts-surface-d...

I find that very interesting and even significant. The Microsoft of 10 years ago would never in a million years use someone else's OS. I see it as a good thing.
Why not write a blog post about this yourself? It would be well received over here. It is obvious this is a topic you care about and have thought about through different angles, which is the type of thing HN folks love.
That's not at all the issue they said that Rust would help with.
This is possibly going to be another Ukraine - a civil war. Who wants that? Certainly not the Belarusian people.
The problem is that not all bits are the same, even in the last mile.

There is still significant improvement in last mile delivery, where different technologies enable different layouts and possibly different cost structures.

There isn't even a safety reason to make this a monopoly.

The monopoly in Internet provision is in the right of way. If new providers were able to construct their own last mile networks, then we would see more providers.

Depending on the city and area, opinions would vary if they’re good at maintaining it... but considering the huge amount of space the USA takes up, and the large amount of interstate and highways that criss cross the country generally being quite functional, I think they do a pretty good job.
Thanks!

1. Right now additional dependencies for the container need to be re-installed whenever you run the pipeline. During the entire Jupyter kernel session though, the container state and thus any installed dependencies remain available. We're working on either supporting container snapshots or custom container images (with desired dependencies pre-installed). We'll likely go with snaphots as they'll be easier from an end-user perspective.

2. During step execution data is stored inside of either the pipeline directory (which contains for example the .ipynb/.py/.R/.sh files) or in any of the mounted directories (through data sources).

When you run the pipeline as part of an experiment a copy is created so that any state generated by any of the steps inside of the pipeline directory is isolated from the 'working copy' of the pipeline.

Edit: forgot to mention that we support memory-based data transfer between steps which is faster and doesn't "pollute" your pipeline directory. It does require your data to fit in memory though. We use Apache Arrow's Plasma for this.

3. AWS S3 and AWS Redshift are currently supported as data sources. Some light docs at https://orchest-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/python.html#dat... (to be improved!) and the relevant SDK source (https://github.com/orchest/orchest-sdk/blob/master/python/or...). We should look into EFS. Do you have a use case in mind?
As someone who is in a similar domain / company, no one knows how to do this at planet scale unless you narrow it down to a very short list (which is typically very large sums of money).

My back of napkin math from another comment:

I work in a similar space and it is significantly complex and expensive to do this.
Back of the napkin math - * Lets say on average customers contact Google support once a year for each product they use. That's 0.25 tickets per user per quarter. * Consider Google has ~10billion monthly productuser combinations (9 products have 1B+, most have significantly more) That is 2.5M tickets/support requests a quarter. ~28M tickets a day * If we consider an average ticket take ~3 mins to resolve, thats ~155k hours a day * If we take an employee being productive for 7 hours a day, that's 22k employees * If you take a 1:10 ratio, that is 2205,220 and 22 - 1st, 2nd and 3rd line managers. * Take the cost to be an average of 30k,60k,150k and 300k for each of those layers, thats ($661, $132M, $33M, $6.6M) which totals to ~$833M per quarter * The real world costs for this will probably be anywhere between 2X to 3X of this because all of these people come with other costs like infrastructure, tooling, space, etc. So we are looking at ~$1.7B to $2.5B.

One might be tempted to say that money can be saved vs my estimates but keep in mind the challenges of localization, time zones, compliance etc is also significant and will probably mean an even larger expense.

So yeah, it would be ~40% of the quarterly profit.

Sure this is an expense so tax etc can be changed but my argument would be that we are severely underestimating the complexity and challenge at each step.

So yes, I do think it will never make economic sense unless you are on the platform with sufficiently high spend. Just like every single other economic system we have out there.

"But I now realize that this is the wrong framing because simply staying alive is an inadequate goal for a company. Founders start companies to find product market fit and grow. Venture capital is designed to speed growth, not to extend runway."

PG says in his essay "How Not to Die": "If you can just avoid dying, you get rich. That sounds like a joke, but it's actually a pretty good description of what happens in a typical startup. It certainly describes what happened in Viaweb. We avoided dying till we got rich."

Aaron pre-empts this by saying that things have changed about the availability of funding to competent founders over the past 10 years, so the advice should change. I don't buy that. Shutting down early and raising new money for a new startup may give you a greater chance of the huge exit, but not dying is the best way to maximize likelihood of becoming rich. Maybe not unicorn rich, but FU money rich.
Economic regulation of this order has not been around > 300 years in fact it's only been really been a question of what is the right balance since post industrialization. And the fact we're having this discussion at all means there are arguments to be had in either direction for worker regulation of this nature. I personally believe over regulation is harmful and we're currently seeing that harm play out to independent workers in multiple industries in California.
Opinion columns are not particularly strong support for any position. Other than some secondary references in the piece, I don't see anything factual there, just the writer's take on each side baiting the other.

Because Google has a skin in the game. It is a de-facto monopolist in the online advertisement business, and online search. And it's only the political goodwill that keeps it safe from antitrust scrutiny.

So, it's a kinda wink-wink nudge-nudge pact, that Google politically aligns with the Democrats, and the Democrats turn a blind eye on Google's monopolistic state.

You can't 'lay off' people you don't employ in the first place.
> Once we have the state machine figured out, we can build whatever arbitrary UI we want on top of it.

You can. It's probably still better to use a comfortable UI library to help, and if you're doing your app state transitions in a central place, pick a view library that works well with that pattern (React, its siblings, or Vue for example).

In a toy app, I recently tried updating some DOM using the unidirectional data flow model, but without a UI library. It was horrid. The DOM really fights you in this regard: it's pure OO and stateful itself so you're better off using a library to tear down and rebuild your DOM for you.

Interesting! I'm honestly pretty unfamiliar with C#, but I'd love to check it out and I'll definitely look into SignalR :)

I think one thing that's been really nice about Elixir is how helpful the community has been, and what an approachable language it is for someone like me coming from a Node/Ruby background (and dabbling in some Clojure :P). It's been really easy to get up and running, and also is just a fun language to work with.

So far finding developers to work in this stack has not been an issue, and we're hoping doing a project like this will attract even more developers to Elixir :)
The system isn't perfect but we somehow do have a world-class interstate highway system and electricity grid. The same cannot be said for broadband.
You're preaching to the converted on TimescaleDB's features - I love it.

I think it makes no sense to compare your managed offering to vanilla Postgres though - surely the comparison is vs TimescaleDB hosted in other ways.

In theory I can use TimescaleDB on cloud managed DBs already (if providers didn't offer such old versions of TimescaleDB).

Given your offering deploys to cloud VMs, perhaps the best comparison is vs deploying Postgres with TimescaleDB yourself on cloud VMs. And at a glance, it looks like your Basic tier is 300-400% more than the cloud VM - so what's the value-add? You get PITR, but beyond that?
The first gene-edited squid in history
I think it's just the opposite: Uber is trying to change the platform so they no longer fit the definition of "Employee". Three changes are so that the driver more closely models a taxi service which is a self employment.

In other words: Uber wants the service to be worse so they don't have to give drivers with health insurance. If people complain, that's to Ubers benefit, because they want to keep their indentured workers.
Why were taxi drivers better off? They were also generally not considered employees (in the US). If anything, the appearance of Uber appears to have spurred some action in defence of taxi drivers, long ignored and kept out of the Fair Labor Standards Act and other legislation to protect the rights of workers.

In fact, for example in NYC, they generally had to pay to work, by being forced to rent cars from medallion owners like the charming Evgeny Freidman (aka Taxi King, formerly an owner of 900 cabs, now a convicted felon).

"The average rate a cabbie paid to take a taxi out for a 12-hour shift climbed 11 percent, to about $85, between 1990 and 1993, based on the most recent figures available from the city's Taxi and Limousine Commission. But meter revenue remained steady during the same period. As a result, the average income of drivers was about $19,000 in 1993, the same as in 1986 and less than in the peak years that immediately followed, taxi commission studies show."

https://www.nytimes.com/1995/04/09/nyregion/driving-a-taxi-d...
That's a pretty generic argument. We all know the government creates regulations.

Why are you defending AB5 specifically? Why is this specific regulation good? Keep in mind that it has had a lot of negative, unintended side effects already.
Separating last mile ownership from ISPs was how it worked around the turn of the century with DSL in Seattle.

US West owned the lines to your home. Your DSL modem communicated with the DSLAM at a US West switching center, and US West relayed raw bits between you and your chosen ISP over something lower level than internet (ATM?).

US West essentially provided an unstructured dedicate virtual circuit bit stream between your DSL modem and your ISP, and your ISP provided internet on top of that.

Your ISP charged you for providing internet access, and US West charged you a fee for using their line.

I've got no problem with government owning and funding the Last Mile. The problem arises when government demands they specify the network design because of that ownership and funding. They are not qualified to make that decision, and usually senior telecommunications engineers are not qualified either. There is simply too much controversy over what is optimal. If the government could simply specify that a network needs to deliver 10Gbps per customer, then that would work, but when they specify HOW those packets need to be delivered then that is when things become non-competitive. There is a huge difference in cost between trenching from a central office to every home in a star topology vs trenching from a municipal network (already paid for by schools, hospitals, large business etc) to homes in a fast spanning tree ring. At least an order of magnitude difference in cost.
Another upside is laptop chips suck less power but still perform ok in most use cases, especially without a graphical load. The monitor and keyboard allow easy interfacing if needed plus ports are often convenient too. even just eSATA for more storage.

I run a uSFF HP box for my hypervisor and a low power J5005 core in my NAS and am more than happy with the performance let alone minimal power usage. Sure the J5005 system takes ages to update requiring a backup DC/PiHole setup on the HyperVisor but it just works at low cost.
No, it's not. Is Apple in the business of producing records because it runs iTunes? No, it's in the business of software (and hardware), and some of that software is used to sell music.

Trying to claim that a software service to run a marketplace to sell X is the same thing as actually running a business of building or doing X takes some mental gymnastics.
Isn't that pretty much equivalent to eSIMs though?
I am acutely aware of active REITs/development firms in Toronto, and I have a lot more respect for their process than for what Sidewalk did.

We don't need neighborhood WiFi -- Fiber is widely available within the city and it's a lot cheaper than what I saw in the US.

Due to COVID-19, there has been far more innovation in the city, mostly top-down from the government, than what we saw with Sidewalk. Who cares if they can reconfigure the street? Let people ride their bikes, build community spaces, etc.

Sidewalk garnered negative public opinion because they tried to overreach what people are comfortable with from a real estate developer. Look at what Amazon did in Seattle over the last decade, and maybe take a page out of their book, instead of hand-waving about self-driving cars you're dreaming of sprinkling around the neighbourhood.
Open markets require a fair and impartial judiciary.

That's interesting. Kudos for your craftsmanship.

IME those who write code instead of using a dependency are those who DON'T seem to care about quality. They can't be bothered to see if the problem is already solved. They can't be bothered to design a good interface and extract the code into a re-usable module. Just just solve their own immediate problem, which then gets re-solved in different ways a dozen times in different projects in the company. This is what I find frustrating and what I find 3rd party dependencies protect against. They define a set of culturally accepted/known APIs/Functionality that is consistent and doesn't have to be relearned between repositories.
Well guess what, it's not going to magically disappear.

Laws consist of literal syntax, but that does not make a Law "objective". Wittgenstein made issue of the fallability of the English language. English is not a special case (just the applicable one).

To whit, a Law does not always describing discrete actions and consequences.

To say a Law is Objective is not saying anything, because the Law is necessarily interpreted in any frame of reference. A single Law is necessarily subjective and following this, The Law in aggregate is subjective.

One suggestion in case it's OP's project or the author is reading: if your video editing workflow has audio adjustment tools or supports plugins, consider using a de-esser to reduce the sibilance a little bit. Everything's easy to understand but some of the s's can be just a little harsh.

I don’t think tilling of the soil type disruption has any lasting effect. Bugs and such things breed in massive and exponential quantities till they reach equilibrium. But food would be a limiting factor as well as chemicals could be a factor. Ripping up soil would be a temporary setback (of a few years).
