> But wait, why would I want to trade guaranteed two disk failure in RAIDZ2 with only 85.7% survival of two disk failure in a pool of mirrors? Because of the drastically shorter time to resilver, and drastically lower load placed on the pool while doing so. The only disk more heavily loaded than usual during a mirror vdev resilvering is the other disk in the vdev – which might sound bad, but remember that it’s no more heavily loaded than it would’ve been as a RAIDZ member. Each block resilvered on a RAIDZ vdev requires a block to be read from each surviving RAIDZ member; each block written to a resilvering mirror only requires one block to be read from a surviving vdev member. For a six-disk RAIDZ1 vs a six disk pool of mirrors, that’s five times the extra I/O demands required of the surviving disks.

I think it's perfectly okay to disagree. But any comment must contain a counterargument to be useful, for example, one could've argued that load is not an issue in a small array and so on, and I may happily accept the other side of the argument. However, I respectfully criticize that your comment doesn't include any counterargument, it's not useful, please read the article more carefully next time.
I have been secretly hoping Tesla to buy Boston Dynamics and revolutionize autonomous manufacturing. One day, a Starship fleet will send an army of robots to Mars and build out a city.
I'm a bit horrified and a bit proud?
At least in the case of instagram you didnt need hindsight to know it was a good deal. Lots of people thought they price they paid was incredible value on the day it was announced. Plenty of ink has been spilled that year about facebook potentially being in trouble with mobile and instagram seemed at the time to be an obvious solution to the problem.

That's a big if, one that hinges on way too many things to be able to successfully argue in court about:

1) VR ever becoming a huge player. It might. It might not. Right now there's no real evidence that VR will actually become a big deal, and Facebook could argue that this is a niche offering that can't be anti-competitive because there's no real market yet.

2) The feasibility of VR technology independent of major vendors. There's a strong possibility that without a huge R&D budget VR will never overcome the hurdles that might keep it out of the mainstream. Facebook could argue that removing Oculus would doom VR to failure in the market.

3) The Sirus/XM merger removed 100% of satellite radio competition (there's only one vendor left after the merger), but both Sirius and XM successfully argued that the market isn't big enough to support multiple vendors. Facebook could argue a similar case, that for the health of the VR market there should be fewer competitors.

I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if any of those would be winning arguments, but based on previous anti-trust cases I've followed that would be the strategy I would expect. And it might be why the FTC didn't go down that path.

I made a web proxy about 10 years ago - you can stick it on a raspberry pi or some cloud server and then use it to browse from that machine's IP. It doesn't work for everything (e.g. OAuth) but it's fast and convenient for a lot of things.

> There is no "buts" regarding freedom.
YouTube has the freedom to choose what content they stream on their website (to show ads/make money)

> The evidence was tenuous and circumstantial at best.
True. But that’s a step up compared to the made up lies that go on nowadays.
To be fair, random assholes on Twitter are much less likely to have nation-state-level resources with which to investigate you, so the threat model is a bit different for one type of witch hunt versus the other.

Exactly. By your standards, Bill Clinton was "far right".

Excellent example.

For the record, I support civil rights protections for all humans, including gays on the basis on sexual orientation. I disagreed then with most of Bill Clinton's policies toward gay rights (I also strongly supported making marriage a uniquely civil institution vis-a-vis government recognition available to all citizens, like France).

By the way, you know who else had that exact same views on gay rights as Bill Clinton when he entered office?

Barack Obama.

Was he "far right" in 2008?

The politicalcompassmeme subreddit is an interesting example of co existence. I think the flairs / labels of users is key.
That's obvious to everybody. The point is, co-owning the company you work for has some fundamental advantages. By the way, this wouldn't be true in a perfectly competitive market, it's only true thanks to market imperfections.

For example, in the company I work for, sometimes I slip into the mode of feeling like I "own" the product we're making, making an extra effort, being emotionally invested, etc. But then I remember, I would just be a fool who works for his employer for free. Also, achieving change requires a lot more effort and often fails, which can be demotivating. In general, I feel like I could run things substantially better if I had the power. Seeing the mediocrity at fairly successful companies makes me really think about working at a startup.
Did a single member of government or member of the DNC ever use that hashtag?

I don't care what some no-name Twitter account says, any more than we should attribute the many, many threats of violence towards Biden and his associates to the Republican party as a whole.

Bob in Connecticut using a hashtag is different from the President and many members of Congress baselessly stating, again and again, that his opponent literally faked 7 million ballots and disenfranchised the will of the American people.
> unprecedented in modern Western democracies - we've reached "peak fake news" in the USA.

Citation needed?

The founding fathers owned newspapers & regularly fabricated stories about opponents. Ben Franklin openly wrote about it and he was far from alone.

William Randolph Hearst controlled a significant portion of newspapers & blatantly used used that power to manipulate public opinion, frequently with suspect information.

We went through a whole era of questionable news -- referred to as "yellow journalism":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism

The fake news around the Gulf of Tonkin escalated the conflict into a relatively minor to what the US would call the Vietnam War.

The fake news about Iraq WMDs led to the disastrous second golf war.

Bill Clinton stood before the camera & said "I did not have sex with that woman" and his wife, HRC, said it was all "a ring wing conspiracy."

Obama said "if you like your health plan, you can keep it", which several newspapers defended & fact-checked as true, as until much later rating it as lie of the year.

Don't get me wrong. I despise Trump, I despise what's he's doing, and I want to see him removed. But if we're too be critical of him playing loose with facts, we can't be ourselves. And saying this is "peak" when it's likely only a local maxima seems dubious at best.

How does that help semiconductor development?
I did a bunch of work in rails prior to the 3.0 days ( probably around 2013 or so), but then switched domains to work more in data engineering.

When I came back to it to scratch an itch for some pet projects, I barely recognized it. I felt completely lost.

Life moved pretty fast, I guess. Are there any good resources out there for someone from the 2.x days to get back to speed?

> Chrome is trying to limit use-cases that require full access to every single site you visit

That argument is always made and every single time there needs to be a reminder that:

The webRequest API -- used to observe all network requests -- will still be available, it just won't be able to be used to block or redirect network requests, but still can be used to observe all outgoing network requests and all incoming response headers.

Additionally, content blockers require the injection of content scripts on all pages and all frames embedded in those pages in order to properly implement additional blocking mechanisms which can't be done through network filtering.

So essentially content blockers such as the current crop of top content blockers will still need to see all the sites visited by users in order to meet what users expect from their blocker.
For perspective, the acquisition was before IG had ads and before Facebook was publicly traded. How was the FTC supposed to magically see the future anti-competitive actions (like blocking vine)?
Stop using their free service and block their Javascript. Don't use apps built with their login framework.
Sounds like it's not happening today.
> Crime in almost every category has gone down over the last decade.

This isn't true at all. Since prop 47, property crime has exploded across the state. Even violent crime rates are significantly higher in LA than they were in 2010.[2][3] In particular gang-on-gang violence may be moving the homicide rate lower, but predator-on-prey violence has shot up. Rapes have more than doubled in the past decade.

> From Seattle to Los Angeles, a “shoplifting boom” is hitting major retailers, which deal with thousands of thefts, drug overdoses, and assaults each year. Since 2010, thefts increased by 22 percent in Portland, 50 percent in San Francisco, and 61 percent in Los Angeles

>Well they usually do it by compensating the employee quite heavily.

Where outside of the US/UK does that happen? Never heard in Europe that you get paid more so you leave when they can boot you out for free and I talked to lawyers about this. The reasoning behind the generous safety nets in Europe is also to make it easier for employee-employer terminations in case it doesn't work out. The laws here are that employers aren't allowed to abuse you, force you into unpaid overtime, etc. but fire you for free they can otherwise nobody would dare become an entrepreneur/investor in an environment where it's impossible to fire someone.
Wasn't each of these acquisitions allowed by the FTC?
In my country a company can legally donate if: a) organization is on a list of approved non-profit organizations or b) you sign a contract with organization where the purpose of donations is clearly defined. Usually authors of open-source projects are not "approved non-profits" so you must have a contract with them...
1. It is not dubious at all. The U.S. Constitution is actually quite clear about this.
2. Claims depend on damages. Judges tend to avoid ruling on hypotheticals.
And they would have done so if Musk went home to Texas every night from the start. What's the point you're making? It seems like the problem you have is with the folks in Sacramento, not Musk or anyone else.
I did not have a 2 hour commute each day. Work from home has been great in that respect. I saved miles on my car and put less pollution into the air.
I doubt that compiling a list will convince you, but NPR, the BBC, the Economist, the WSJ, the AP, National Review as a small snippet.
It's a matter of degree. The _degree_ of constant lying the current president does is absolutely insane.

I don't like what YouTube is doing either, but it's really hard to say what any other alternative is at this point.
I've read Rider's thesis several times. The ions in my device have a thermal energy profile. The coordinated motion is a result of their rapid expansion and cooling in a very weak magnetic field.

The instant ions leave the hot thermal focus, each one flys off on its own independent cyclotron trajectory. Their collective motion results in another dense, hot, thermal focus one period later.

One big difference between FB/MySpace is OAuth - you can dump FB the social network, but much harder to dump FB the identity verification service. OAuth in theory is great, in practice it has been an anti-competitive/anti-privacy Trojan Horse.

You raise an interesting point and I upvoted because of it. Our democracy should be able to withstand this attack, yes. Having to resort to censorship would very clearly fuel the attackers.

At the same time, there's an awful lot at stake here and I'm not sure we can simply trust that the good side will win. A laissez-faire approach to some of this content may very credibly lead to violence the scale of which this country hasn't witnessed in 150 years.
> SV political hostility towards technology companies and employees is frustrating. I wish the government was more aligned with helping these companies grow

Did you check how well those companies actually grew, dominated markets and made their employees millionaires?

Sure, not everything is perfect and aligned to their liking, but calling a place that still actively creating biggest tech companies in the world a hostile place for them is a stretch at best.

Great example of the attitude I'm describing.

I'd suspect he'd admit as much at this point. It was a bad prediction. There have been an enormous amount of cases since then and many have died.

I'm an Elon Musk fan, but on this issue he was wrong.
Hyundai already does robots, through Hyundai robotics.
> we've reached "peak fake news" in the USA

Who cares?! As you said, Fox is crappy news so they don't get my business. Same thing with (generally) MSNBC and others. To answer the next question: The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Shepard Smith

> it's one of those "least worst" choices
I respectfully and completely disagree. This is policing thought. Things are not worse than they have been before. The communist witch hunts of the 50s is one example. A lot of the things FDR did were marginal (turned out alright though). Once you start controlling freedom of expression, you own all expression. No one is smart enough. The free market may suck in the short run, but in the long run it will work out.

One perfect example of this:
> The POTUS is lying on an hourly basis
Yep, and HE LOST! His lying was a significant factor in this loss. Come January he won't be the POTUS.
> FB buying up the competition probably helped too.

Which the FTC could have stopped at any time.
This is what Amazon and Apple are trying to become.

I understand, your comment simply rubbed me the wrong way, because it, in my mind, kind of ignores the main point of the parent, that nowadays the trade-off is less obvious than it used to be.

I also genuinely want to apologize if my comment came of as patronising. I wanted to express my genuine opinion in a fun way and it seems like I have missed the mark pretty badly.
Copy+pasting the rules is even more boring, just move on
Where do people store their money but in government bonds? There is just a finite amount of gold and company shares and commodity available. If you want people to save money for the last part of their life, they need something to buy.
That depends on how you look at it.

But it doesn't matter. A car costs a lot, yes, but the margin is not that big. You can't build a car and send the same unit to every buyer. While I can code once and sell the software to a million clients.

Tesla is the most valuable car company in the world and I think it has a lot to do with the software, not only the hardware.
Honestly, while I have my doubts about this succeeding, it nevertheless feels like the big tech suit most likely to succeed.

Amazon promoting its own brands isn't much different from a supermarket offering its own brand items. Apple isn't a monopoly in phones because of Android. And Google's search is so inherently tied to selling ads as a business model that separating them is a difficult argument -- plus search competitors are just a click away, as evidenced by how much Google pays Apple to be the default.

But FB, IG and WhatsApp are clearly separate products, all very much monopolies in their markets, easy to split up without huge adverse effects, and FB purchasing them was clearly done to neuter potential competitive threats.

So if any suit is going to succeed, this feels like it would be the one.

Just to pull the thread a little further, what if you already believed that the other side was using unfair tactics to achieve their political goals. Gerrymandering, unfair court appointments, electoral college unfairness, racially based voter suppression.

I'm hard pressed to believe that someone who believes these are going on AND that the current president is a Russian asset (for example) would not support voter fraud.

Things like fire and police should be provided by the state due to the authority and access they require over civilians.

However we have multiple utilities already. They follow regulations to ensure a level of service and reliability, but are often entrenched by these very same regulations which is why others are prevented from serving the same area. If anything we should have even more competition so that we can actually see some progress instead of the regulatory gridlock and decaying infrastructure that exists.

This is similar to ISPs. You can consider network services as essential need in the modern era, but nobody wants a slow nationalized ISP service (look at how Australia screwed that up). Instead multiple local competitive organizations have always delivered the best outcome whenever that's been allowed and encouraged.
Boston Dynamics is a consulting company that uses some fun pet projects as PR. Consulting is a very tight margin business because it's used as some kind of arbitrage move between workforce and capabilities.

It doesn't matter if you are doing consulting with the most specialized meditation app UI researchers or the most specialized cyber-biology engineers with experience in exobiology and colonizing other celestial bodies. It's still consulting.
