I have followed various snippets of community folklore advice on this topic over the years (many of them suggesting that the proper number of connections should relate somehow to the number of CPU cores). It was, therefore, refreshing to see one of the core developers, Bruce Momjian, publish modern advice[0] based on empirical observations he made while working on real client problems through Enterprise DB. Spoiler: on modern hardware, without an over-agressive shared_buffer config setting[1], up to 250 direct connections to the DB may be made without detrimental impact.

Hey man, I just included the link so people can see I'm not BSing and that I really spent a lot of time doing research into this. I didn't expect people to sign up & analyze my report. I'll release an enhanced report tomorrow or so and update everyone who signed up. If you want just reply to the email where I sent the PDF and I'll send you the enhanced version.

This research is more oriented towards founders who are currently working on their startups/businesses. I plan to release further information on each of these acquisition channels and that's why I asked for an email. Plus, I think it's fair to ask for an email if you're distributing something that took 2 years to summarize.
For another anecdote, I regularly get bottles of gummies which are 1500IU each (you're talking about 2000IU for reference), eating 3-6 of them a day, all through seasons which aren't summer.

I've never traced negative health effects to this. Not being a doctor, I can't give advice, but my doctor thinks this is safe, and in fact, a good idea.

You use the term "Artificial Stupidity" instead of "Artificial Intelligence". I don't know what your intentions are. Some people will read your comment and think that you are belittling an entire field and the efforts of people who work in it. Such an intention must come from a place of ignorance or hatred. Either way, it's not the kind of thing I like to read.

The main point of your comment is interesting. I hope you will edit it to make the tone more respectful.
> The objection you and others are making to TFA is that you can't choose to be apolitical, because everything is political. Your contribution is to propose that people might claim things are apolitical to prevent people from realizing the truth about how political they actually are.

You're still not really getting what I was saying. Directly claiming something is apolitical won't actually create the state I was talking about. To do that you actually have to get a bunch of influential people to talk about some political idea like it was obviously some kind of natural or social law or something.

Not everything is political, but many people are ignorant of the political nature of many things.

> Your appeal to newspeak is pretty pointless, as it applies only inasmuch as it does to anyone who might claim that something is its opposite, for example the slogans "the personal is political" and "silence is violence".

You're thinking about the slogans like "freedom is slavery," which weren't Newspeak and would have been unexpressible in it.

> But you haven't really contributed anything to the conversation. You're just saying "ah, but what if they're /lying/! To /trick us/!"

I'm not sure I'm contributing the the conversion that you want to have, which makes it a little baffling why you're engaging with me and not one of "the others" who seem to be who you really want to engage with.
Segment (and any other SaaS that wants to own the event firehose) has pricing issues as the customer scales. As a customer you are charged on data volume[0], but your data grows at the rate = (Users x Engagement X Features X Data Sources). That rate can easily be the square of your revenue growth.

This pricing issue makes it easy for Segment's fast-growing customers to justify an in house replacement. This puts huge down-pressure on their "revenue retention" rate and makes it hard to raise more VC or go public.

[0] - Segment technically prices on user volume but in reality it's a mix of users + objects depending on what your sources are
Capitalism is an exercise in specialization. The more advanced an economy, the more it relies on specialized skills which requires increased focus to be competitive.

An interesting outcome is that is becomes more difficult to rise to high levels unless that is what you’re optimizing for early. Ironically, this creates the same pressure that makes high levels so competitive and potentially miserable
Would you please stop posting crap comments to HN?
I was pretty active in the Raspberry Pi community around 4 years ago. Playing YouTube easily was a big problem and I tried making a lot of packages to solve this. I would also build Chromium to add widevine support for DRM content.

I also helped the Raspberry Pi Foundation around 4 years ago building and packaging their patched version of Chromium. What they essentially did was directly modify the Chromium source to add HW decoding specifically for the Pi with MMAL. Then, an extension would be auto installed to enable H264 on YouTube instead of VP9. This was released back when they launched the Pixel desktop.

This obviously had some problems, because the patch needed to be manually changed for every release of Chromium, which come pretty often. It couldn't also be easily upstreamed. Looking at it now, it seems it hasn't been updated in about a year, and I'm curious what the Foundation's roadmap for this is in the future, after having been out of the loop for so long.

> It seems that different US elections predict who will win a given state far earlier in the process - before the votes are counted even the first time. Is that right?

Yes.

At least in Dewey / Truman, they counted the votes and Truman won. Under the current system, Truman would be expected to concede gracefully after somebody predicted he would lose, removing the need to count the votes entirely.

> Sure people can work less hours, but right now people choose to want more things - better healthcare, larger houses, more entertainment and choose to work more hours.

That has not been proven. If anything the opposite. I'm sure that a significant portion of the population would choose less time at work over non-essential consumption given the choice. There's a reason that full-time working hours are always changed universally - having the leverage and the economic base to individually request part-time is a privilege. Furthermore there's usually a disproportional economic punishment when one's working hours doesn't reach some "full-time" threshold, not to mention the likely social punishment like having a harder time to get promoted and similar.

People like to assume that people choose non-essential goods over leisure but for some reason they are never very keen on trying to prove it by giving workers the choice without undue punishment.

A good experiment could be to allow people to choose to whether they'd like to get their raise (or if lucky, convert the yearly bonus) in time or money, or perhaps some split.

I once used DropBox. After a particularly bad episode, which was probably due to my faulty configuration, I decided to start using my own internet-facing servers. The extra strain on my 24/7 machine is miniscule.

I have been completely happy with the results. I have full control over what happens, I specify what software is used, what storage is allocated. I don't have a fear that somebody else has control over my data, and that they can change the terms and conditions of that data storage at any time at their convenience.

It’s because it’s not an opportunity. When you are going after selling millions or tens of millions of units every year in cell phones, these chips at this point are old for them. A lot of tech in this chip was probably in a cell phone 5-7 years ago. So they’ve made their profits from it. Having it out in a few hundred thousand RPis won’t make much of a difference at this point.

In addition, studies suggest that high levels of B6 and B12 in the blood are correlated with higher risk of certain cancers, such as prostate and lung cancer.

For the clickbait content ads on Taboola and Outbrain, the strategy is ad arbitrage. The landing page is probably broken up into a slide show with many pages. The goal is to get the user to go through 30 pages (misclicking a few ads along the way) and monetize as more revenue than the cost of their visit. There are other monetization strategies for other types of ads on Taboola and Outbrain.

Hey now, there are other options besides "solely driven by profits" and "non-profit solely focused on the mission"

For one thing, it is a fiction that public for-profit companies have a fiduciary duty to be monomaniacal profit seeking entities that must do everything legal to achieve that end, and anything illegal where the profit exceeds the risk-adjusted cost of getting caught is at least on the table.

Second, there are plenty of structures for encoding specific missions into a company's charter that are binding. I'm kind of curious to see if Coinbase will follow through on the rhetoric and do something such as becoming a b-corp.
I might be agreeing with you, but isn't it just under-specified? To me 'naked' alone = 'no clothes whatsoever'; but 'naked breast' is entirely similar to, yes, 'naked hand'. The latter just having less frequent utility as a phrase, shall we say.
FWIW Rockchip video decode/encode is not in a much better space.

There is the BSP, id est Rockchip's hacked together fork of the 4.4 kernel, which works. But on the mainline kernel h264 is just now getting added (maybe in 5.10), and userspace is still going to take some time to adapt.

I really hope that one day I can actually use the Pinebook Pro webcam for video chats without my CPU spinning while trying to encode (at least) one stream and decode N streams.

So what’s the end state solution? The tools change and/or mature slower than a fast company will grow. Where are you going from here?

You mean, 19 countries? Maybe if you go by population. In many cases, the reasons for building reactors are clearly not because it's cheapest (UAE, I'm looking at you). There's clear regret in the US about Vogtle and Summer, and in France about Flamanville. (For that matter, in India about the cost overruns on their latest Russian PWRs.)

Ask HN: Could someone theoretically hack “Voyager 1” at this point?
No. Get yourself straight and reread my post.

The full post is saying that the interpretation of what you see is NO DIFFERENT from an alternate universe. I am not saying this is actually what's going on.

All reflections on all surfaces can be interpreted this way.

The point of the example is to say that the language people use to refer to reflections is to refer to this alternate higher level interpretation and is still valid. Only the most pedantic person will say "nothing" has flipped and call it just bouncing photons.

> If what you see in the mirror would be another universe then it would have to me MIRRORED to look like we see things in a mirror.

This is exactly what I'm saying nothing precludes the alternate universe to be MIRRORED. The alternate universe is a mirrored universe, Get it?

>The wrong assumption is that your universe and the one you see in the mirror is identical.

This is your assumption. I never said this. I said ALTERNATE universe. <--- read the word ALTERNATE. I'm assuming here that you might be delusional and seeing the word IDENTICAL instead of alternate.

>No matter how you would flip the other universe it would never look like what you see in a mirror.

Again if the atoms in this universe and flip them across the Z-axis the light bouncing off those atoms would produce exactly what you see in the mirror.

>Just use 2 identical but non-simple objects place them next to each other for example 2 coins. No matter how you flip or rotate the coins it will never look like there is a mirror in between. You would need a mirrored coin for that.

When I say a z-axis flip I mean inside out. Imagine holding a glove, then turning that glove inside out. That is a z-axis flip. Your coin analogy is completely off.

>I did and I pointed out why your theory is garbage.

I never even made a theory I just used the alternate universe thing as an example of the vernacular people use... people refer to the reflection as a real object and not as bounced photons and this interpretation is valid because it can't be proven otherwise. You just didn't get it. Hopefully you reread my post and realized that it is not my "theory" that's garbage but your brain.
