Look up the realignment of the Republican party and the Southern strategy, the Voting Rights Act, and the various hurdles that some states began to re-implement after the gutting of that act in 2013.

It's kind of a thing.
It depends on what you mean - climate change is already affecting some regions of the world significantly while not affecting others at all. Climate change was a significant factor in causing the Syrian civil war [1], while I haven't been affected other than having some hot summers and mild winters. So yes, some areas - and thus some ethnic groups - are more affected. On top of that, people who are poorer are disproportionately affected by any negative effect because they have fewer resources and are thus less able to deal with it.

Addressing that is social justice.

We have had users make very long recordings with Tella that worked just fine, however we do recommend working in smaller parts. We have a feature called scenes where you can structure your story/video into parts and also record into parts. All of the recording works on the client, so it also depends on your device sometimes; if you have a slow device it can sometimes have issues recording. So to recap, yes there are exceptions where long recordings cause trouble, but overall we’ve seen good results!
> You're no longer guaranteed that cache changes propagate unasked.

Huh? Yes, you can: Caches in multi-core ARM systems are still coherent, so once a write operation reaches any level of the cache hierarchy (typically level 1) and updates that cache line, all other cores will see the updated value when they read from that address.

That's not what you need memory consistency operations, like load acquire and store release, for. You need those to make sure that a write from a write operation has been written to the cache, because it might still linger in the store buffer, which sits between the execution unit and the cache.

> Rust has the advantage that its locks own data, so the compiler knows what has to be flushed.

That's absolutely not how Rust works. The Rust compiler has no notion of a mutex, only of atomic operations. Mutexes are purely library constructs – as shown by the parking_lot crate [1], which implements its own mutex independently of the standard library mutex.

W3C would cease to be necessary if there were just one browser. That'd be it, end of history, the WWW would now be a Google product served over a Google developed binary protocol (QUIC).
Great example!

You are arguing against exactly what Elon had said at launch. I'm not being unfair with a beta. I've lived this industry for a while; latency will go up with congestion. Let's revisit this comment in a year.

Which statements of his am I arguing against?

Also if buffers are configured to be very small then congestion does not have to add more than a fraction of a millisecond of latency. Bufferbloat is endemic but it is not unavoidable.
Doesn't have to be double NAT. You can do passthrough/IP routing with private IPs after the first device.
It inherits primarily from the idiotic interview loop, and an entire cottage industry which has grown up around it.

I am reminded of this funny Feynman quote (paraphrasing): "The whole purpose of the existence of the Mensa club was to decide who else was eligible to join the club". Now, in all fairness, this is true of all the big tech companies to varying degrees, but boy does Google Cloud in particular take the cake on this one!

Of course, Big Tech does produce very good products, and at scale, but that is being built by about 10% of their engineers. The rest of them work there just to keep the interview loop as exclusive as possible. :-) After all, otherwise, one of them would have actually solved long runningcustomer problems.

Plus the rest of the world is now coming to an agreement that a lot of Big Tech's growth is coming from a lot of unfair advantages - such as massive data collection before it was understood as a bad thing, ability to lobby local politicians at a much bigger scale, ability to influence regulations that hurt them somewhat but entirely kill the competition (GDPR for example), complete lack of accountability for past malpractices (e.g. Facebook's friendly fraud case, for which no one went to jail) because they are now too powerful to actually be sent to jail.

No to be truly corrupt you should be more like the Obama administration and use the police power of the FBI and CIA to try to undermine a duly elected president with completely made up bullshit about Russia. And while you're at it, frame any one connected to Trump like General Flynn. Pay no mind to their years of service. Ignore exculpatory evidence. Spend 3 years and millions of taxpayer dollars building it up on the leftist news to sway political opinion. Then gaslight the public about Trump's high turnover rate.
Which discrete math class? (Currently trying to decide on a math class for autumn as CS major)
Good luck fixing your bike online then. Bike shops that want to survive should primarily stick to fixing bikes and keep inventory that sells regardless of fashion trends. Like a tube, a bottle or chain lube. Also parts needed to fix bikes. There's little point in stocking new bikes today, but one could order for the customer or build custom bikes on order.

I mostly build my bikes by myself but I also go to a shop for things I can't do myself and also buy stuff from them even if it's more expensive because I don't have to wait for delivery.
Browser (shall I say the browser?), from "thin client on top of OS" became "web client on top of thin OS that just needed to run the thing".

And indeed, zipped Chromium sources are of 1.4 Gb and Linux kernel is of 0.2 Gb - 7 times less.

Volume of features that "we" (or rather "they") want to see in browsers and so complexity of browsers reached point of no return I think. From now and on only state actors will be able to finance development of another new browser.

I do not think that any private pure product company now is able to develop modern browser sustainably. Either we (users) shall pay to the company for it or the company shall sell telemetry, user's data, influence user choice, etc. to get money for that from FAANG & Co. And that is exactly what happens now with Mozilla.

What to do?

The solution could be in drastically limiting the scope of browser. Indeed, 95% of sites and users just need basic HTML/CSS/JS features. The only thing that needs to be added is what I name as WebVM - virtual machine a la JavaVM or .NET "VM" with DOM and CSSOM exposed in it as primitives. So if you want to add new CSS, HTML feature or to support new script language then you can provide corresponding loadable .class (bytecodes) file.

I mean: compact base (bootstrap) implementation + VM/runtime to extend this thing.
All other features can be developed independently by teams who need them for their users and cases.

All those WebGL, WebAsm, rarely used CSS effects and HTML features ... 95% of us do not need them - why do we need to pay the price for these features? If someone will need them - fine, design and load them into WebVM.

As an example, I (+ 3more devs) can transform my Sciter (https://sciter.com, 0.02 Gb zipped sources) into such bootstrap browser in 6-9 months. And so can do other teams.

Sigh.

10 years ago we have thrown the baby out with the bathwater when we disabled ActiveX, Java, etc.
Instead we should actually develop WebVM and so to move web tech development out of big companies and Central Comity of the Web.
It is not endemic. I think you've met a few people you didn't like, read some tweets, and extrapolated poorly.
And I don't think people working on GCP are really treated that much better than their counterparts at AWS. The fact that you think the difference in product depreciation policy between them is caused by people getting "everything they could dream of" is funny though
No, there are not millions of Americans who don't have that. Both viasat and Hughes provide 25Mbps everywhere in the USA, and up to 100Mbps in some cases. Your math is completely ignoring the fact that 80% of the satellites are over NOBODY at any given time.
> They've had that advantage since Chrome came out. Didn't stop them from losing almost all their market share.

Absolutely. But it certainly is a huge benefit to them.

> Chrome has been technologically ahead of IE since it came out.

No doubt, in a number of ways that's certainly true. IE needs to compete on tech.

> Why do we think Servo will be better?

Because it solves real problems for browsers - security and performance, in a more than incremental way.
I saw this combination of control and data flow graph before a while ago in some paper and while it made sense there (was a very small part of what they described as a whole) it seemed rather trivial / straightforward as a concept.

I also heard people reference sea of nodes elsewhere before but I couldn't really get what made it special or a "sea if nodes". Only now I learn that that's basically all it is: data flow and control flow per node/element/instruction combined.

I guess without also going into what it actually enables it's a bit underwhelming.
What is "Fræðast meira"?
Satellite usually gets several hundred to nearly 1000 ms of latency, so being under 100 is a big deal.

Satellite latency is so bad most people with smart TVs can't stream to them because most streaming buffers empty faster than the network responds with more packets. They are usually stuck with their computers to pre-download content or increase buffer size/decrease video resolution.
Not that monetizable? See my initial post?

Google absolutely monetizes the hell out of Chrome, in areas they compete with MS (O365? GSuite?).
Oh for god’s sake. “Failed state”? Seriously?

Rolling stone has done great reporting on serious problems, but this is just insane. If the US is a ‘failed state’ then so is every other state.

(warning rambling rant)

I feel like this was super true in the pre Facebook days but they were humbled A LOT by the massive flop of Google plus.

I honestly don't feel like I get the my s * doesn't stink vibe from them anymore.

Especially because everyone knows their Achilles heel now.

But for their ad revenue what would they be?

Everything else material from came from an acquisition or is infra stuff.

It's cool but they also had to learn the hard lesson of Hadoop too.

Yeah they built big table... But the rest of the industry standardized on Hadoop (at the time) because they never released an implementation and so they started losing out on good hires because they didn't want to get locked into proprietary Google infra.

I think you see them recognizing this with intiatives like all of the stuff around kubernetes.

But hey I wouldn't build anything on their (non open) stuff and get more scared by the day over my dependence on El Goog because they've shown time an again how little they care for us common plebs.

But I feel like they get better when they lose but they've only started losing more recently

(Rant over)
Microsoft has been playing nicely and isn't behaving anti-competitively. They learned their lesson in the 00's.

You’re just not paying attention. How is this any different than what they did in 2002?

The government had nothing to do with the rise of the current tech giants.

No one cared about desktop operating systems anymore - not even MS.

There is no new line of Android phones. There is one monstrosity of a $1400 device they refuse to call a phone.
No, not at all... I didn't notice any hearing loss. I would still have to get properly examined and maybe get an audiogram.
I used to work with Steve. He’s a good story teller. But a story teller tells good stories by having a fairly casual relationship with facts and the truth.

For example, emacs lisp suffers from bitrot. Some core things haven’t changed in forever but also you can’t pick up elisp config from 15 years ago and it’s fine today.

All live systems evolve and change. In this case emacs is just so slow that Steve thinks that it doesn’t.
I have found it helps if I put an entry into hosts file for 127.0.0.1 for all the sites that I waste time on.
Eventually I will go back in and update it when I feel I have caught up but it gives me a reminder when I can't go to the sites at all.
https://www.shacknews.com/article/118663/spacex-starlink-20m...

He said 20ms, and you are saying it'll be higher, and that's okay. You can't just shrink buffers to get rid of queuing latency. You introduce new problems with scheduling when doing so.
What if people could downvote articles, but it would have no visible effect, only advising moderators?

Or, just track how many downvotes and flagged comments are in a thread and kill anything (the whole thread) that gets even minimal controversy?

If everything that is basically redundant with Reddit or other aggregators was deleted, I think it would be like 60+% at this point, but why not go ahead and try it?

Enforcing "high quality" discussion on low quality topics is manifestly a complete failure.
I feel very similarly. This isn't just boneheaded project management, that would be simply killing great projects. Firing huge amounts of top tier talent is absolutely another story altogether.
I think it's fine, I didn't notice any hearing loss... Will get an audiogram to make sure.
It takes 5-10 years for a database or file system to mature enough for production.

However, you could have a dedicated performance expert write a test suite early, before all your customers complain about it, and profile that.

It's rarely done because startups don't have an extra expert on staff who isn't shipping features.

A particular example is the global write mutex issues in MongoDB and the fractal engine for MySQL that took years (almost a decade?) to fix.

“We gotta go to space!” is an impractical and frustrating response to climate change. Getting the human population off this planet and finding somewhere else for us to live is orders of mangnitude harder than fixing things on the planet for which we’re already perfectly adapted.

There's also the matter of heat waves; summers are increasingly lethal and we've barely started.
I didn't say the latency was as high as GEO. If a car commercial said a car was $20k, and you got to the dealership and it was $60k, would you just throw your hands up and say it's still pretty good? The point is that the publicity was based on completely fake promises.

It’s not obvious that treating internet like electricity and gas would be any kind of improvement in California.
That doesn't reduce tracking complexity. It makes handoffs more frequent and complex as the OP was pointing out.
Why should we listen to the ideas of a rich guy rather than an educator? How many times have have you seen an education expert on this site discussing these topics from a critical standpoint?

The bigger issue is why to people want to listen to rich people rather than experts in the field? This reminds me the climate change where some people don't want to listen to the experts but instead want to listen so someone (or news organization) they already know.
Just to quantify how large the explosion in Beirut was: the TNT equivalence was about 200 times as high as the explosion in Enschede. Crazy!
Hey Lakshan! Thanks a lot :)
The first beta customers were people in our network from old companies we worked at, we have 2 sales teams which tried us really early on who we knew and also a big remote company tried us because we knew some people there. Besides that we’ve had some YC companies try us, and after that the ProductHunt launch was the first moment we got a lot of new users.

YC for me has been great! We can’t really compare it to “in person” YC but we got a lot of value out of it, they seem to have adapted quite well to the remote world and in some ways I think it’s more practical than before; no 2 hour drive to mountain view for an office hour with a partner. Since we worked at InVision for 2 years we are used to the remote meetings so for us this was kind of a normal way to work I guess. I would definitely recommend YC to people wanting to start their own startup, the amount of information you get in 3 months is crazy.
“ it’s well-known that they refuse to host (as a managed service) any third-party software until after AWS has already done the same thing and built a successful business around it, at which point their customers hold them at gunpoint. But that’s the bar, to get Google to support something.”

This isn’t true, of course. They supported managed Kafka before AWS did: https://cloud.google.com/confluent
The FCC prefers 5G. Starlink will likely never be able to use that spectrum in certain areas.
Trips to Europe or to random conferences in first class? Trips to _any office_ for "face time"? Massages? Bonuses of any sort, including peer bonuses and holiday gifts? Refreshers? Society thinking that you're "smart" for passing the loop? You're rewarded just for being alive at Google, but I get nothing but scorn and condescension.

Fun fact for you - if I get promoted this year at Amazon to L5, I'll _still_ make less than a new grad at Google. It's extremely depressing to the extent that I can't get out of bed in the morning, but I'd wager that inferiority complex probably helps on the product side to empathize with customers.
People need to remember that Google gives really good results on almost anything product or service-related because they're an advertising company. So when I search for stuff like that, I usually use the "!g" hashbang.
I think you are quite mistaken. I don't want to maximize my income, I want tom maximize my impact. There are some people in the world who care about things beyond themselves. Everyone should have some self interest but there are other things that matter besides maximizing income.

Because that's what will make this whole thing fall apart. A motorized phased array antenna isn't going to be cheap to recoup.
You know, for a long, long time Apple users claimed that Macs were unhackable. That was part of the hype and appeal for a long time. Problem was, Macs didn't reach critical mass in market penetration during those "unhackable years". Once there were enough in the general public to make it worth hacking, people start noticing/realizing that Macs weren't special, just irrelevant for a long time.

Same goes for self-driving cars. Critical mass has not been reached, not by a long shot. Most miles driven by autopilot cars have been supervised by either trained or very attentive drivers or even in very controlled environments. In other words, not how autopilot will be used in the real world what so ever. Because that's not the point. Either the car drives by itself or the person is driving. Not half here, half there. This is where the fear and hesitation exists. Will autopilot be inevitable? Probably. But Silicon Valley's cult like attitude to "break things fast" is not the attitude I want behind the software that is going to drive me to work or make me headless like the dude that crashed into a semitruck in Florida. At 33, I'm perfectly good at driving and will place my own life in my hands if "break things fast" is going to be their little bonfire chant. Someone else's idea of "the greater good" doesn't always live up to expectations.

It is possible and has been done before in the past. The companies that tried it went bankrupt because the business plan doesn't work out. The ground stations are too expensive for end consumers. Starlink will likely see the same fate unless they get government money.
