webassembly doesn't support file locking for sqlite databases that would allow for other processes to interact with the same database your application uses. It's actually one of my biggest gripes. You can use it in-memory and save the output or use a different database approach, and lose the features of sqlite.

Of course, a different kind of database, similar to say leveldb could work in single-process mode.

Note that SpaceX was a major bidder. You'll see them listed as the winner on many of the geo blocks. I don't know how to get a map showing just the blocks they won.

Most of the non-SpaceX blocks are rural areas that have had terabits of fiber running through them for the last decade as part of long-haul intercity links. Since the last mile of rural fiber is so much cheaper than the last mile of urban fiber (100% aerial, no trenching, no manholes, no ducts, uncongested utility poles, simple property boundaries, terminate at the property line not deep inside a multitenant/condoized building) this is a massive windfall for the telephone companies -- especially CenturyLink.

The FCC created some very perverse incentives with this auction. They actually made it more profitable for telcos to leave intercity fiber unused in the ground than to splice a strand to serve the neighborhood it passes through. This led many providers (cough cough CenturyLink cough) to refuse to use or even license their fiber until they could scoop up this cash first. If even one residence in the block has service above 25mbit/sec the whole block is taken out of the auction.
But then redis is essentially still the "open core" model he is saying is dead.

I agree it doesn't really disprove his general story (which I agree is a trend), it doesn't have to be universal to be a trend, a very strong trend even, there can be special unusual circumstances behind redis, or it can just not yet have succumbed but be on the way, or it can just be an unexplained exception to a strong trend.

It just makes redis not a great example to choose, and it makes his article misleading giving people the wrong idea about what's going on with redis.
You give everybody, say, a million when they turn 65.

x isn’t good at managing money (maybe can’t even blame them, as they haven’t ever had any significant amount of money before), so they buy a $200k car/go to Vegas for a week/whatever (maybe incentivized by the ‘knowledge’ that “nobody in our family lives past 70”).

Turns out, x lives till the age of 80, but runs out of money years before that. Do you give them more, or do you say “it’s your own fault”?

y is good at handling money, but happens to have some expensive disease/happens to live till the ripe age of 110/whatever, and nevertheless runs out of money. Again, do you say “tough luck. You could have known you might live till 110”?

z, at 65, has a terminal disease and knows he’ll live for at most a year. He _can_ go to Vegas, travel the world, etc. One could argue that’s some compensation for dying so young, but is that fair?

Those problems can be avoided by just paying out a monthly pension to every 65-year old.

Also, but a different subject: what happens to the money invested for those who die before they turn 65? If their spouse/children don’t inherit the fund and get the money on the day they would have turned 65, did you really give them that investment fund? If the money is forfeited, it seems more like you gave them a endowment policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_policy).
I lived in Provo. I saw John Curtis run several large businesses out, and most relocated north. Then he became a representative for the whole region.

I feel that he is a deeply corrupt individual who makes backdoor deals with his buddies. I also don't trust the judges there.

I went to the FBI with evidence of some of the corruption I uncovered, but was told point blank that corruption in Utah was so deeply entrenched that there was very little they could do about it.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good people there. There are also some very convincing liars and slick talking con artists. (There is a reason why Utah is home to so many sales based companies)

I started to feel like there was no room to breathe there. Real estate prices were skyrocketing, and I couldn't see a path forward for several of my projects that required large spaces.

There was a huge influx of venture capital that was supporting these inflated prices on real estate and talent, but I never wanted to go that route, so I was priced out.

I fund everything I do with family money, and keep 100% ownership.

TL;DR: It's hard to get ahead when you feel the game is rigged.
The prices are higher (the same plus delivery plus tip) and the food comes cold and unless you’re ordering for a cold outdoor social visit you’re eating it alone/with the same company you see everyday. That’s a market that serves homebodies (I’m one half the time) and absolutely will fail for people who go out to eat and drink socially (me the other half of the time) when that becomes available again.

There are some flaws within your argument that i like to point out.

> why cable companies regional monopolies are extant, but also that their continued existence relies on the preservation of those monopolies.

it's a moral judgement about monopoly that you imply (it being bad). But the article makes no such judgements at all, and that by bringing in this you direct the argument towards one of ethical behaviour, rather than logical deduction and application of such for businesses.

> no different than a Ponzi scheme. It makes the fatal assumption that subscriber growth can continue ad infinitum.

That's not the defining feature of a ponzi scheme - which is that it is using the investment of new investors to pay out existing investors (and only doing so, rather than undertake a business). The cable companies _do_ produce something, that of cable provision, maintenance and services. Even if they assume infinitely growing subscriber base, it is not a ponzi scheme.

And growth doesn't have to be ad infinitum - just large enough to last long enough until the next disruption (e.g., starlink might disrupt cable companies). There's nothing wrong with a company dying - the bag holders and creditors who hold them last will lose out when they are disrupted, and this is a good outcome. Investment has risks, credits has risks.

The fact that it's quite obvious if someone votes multiple times. To sway an election, you would need to submit a significant number of fraudulent ballots. This is likely to result in an extremely high number of detected duplicates. It is also extremely hard to pull off without involving a large number of people, any of whom could blow the entire conspiracy wide open.

Yeah the distribution of returns isn't symmetrical, but the expected return is still equal to the market return. You could make the argument that that means that expected utility is lower because of decreasing marginal utility, but I'm not confident enough in my understanding of others' utility functions to make that claim.

Once you hit a propellant bubble, the combustion temperatures are the least of your worries. The turbines are designed to ramp up gently, work fully loaded and transfer the energy from the hot side to the liquid propellants; the power density is enormous, 100.000 horsepower in the space of a truck engine 100 less powerful. Without an energy sink this immense power is directed at the turbine itself, which spins out of control and will dismantle or shatter when hitting liquid again.

Your engine is now full of solid projectiles that take out other parts, fuel lines and injectors, damage film cooling nozzles and coolant canals, and in general transform your precision machine into a smoldering pile of gunk.
My underlying understanding was that the soon to be deleted videos are in fact misinformation, that's why I understood this to be a slippery slope type of argument. Of course if one assumes that the President is actually correct this could be construed in another way. (But I'm definitely not going to argue with people who believe in these stolen-election allegations here, some divides are too deep to overcome in an online forum)

>but isn't this "security/privacy" argument basically "end users can't be trusted when it comes to installing extensions that respect their privacy, so let's get rid of potentially malicious extensions with arbitrary content blocking logic and enforce our single way of content blocking instead"?

Yep. Like "speed limiters" in cars. We could also trust car drivers "when it comes to observing the speed limit", but in many cases we don't, do we? And that's a mechanical limit imposed on top of fines for speeding and so on...

"But here they only hurt themselves" is not necessarily true. If you have family private data and they're stolen because you've installed a malicious extension, doesn't it also hurt your family? If your own data are then used to phish your friends, doesn't it also hurts them?

>Which certainly sounds like preventing the end user from "running any code Apple didnt sell to you in the first place".

Not really since:

(a) you can run many kinds of code (JS, etc) still in your web browser, can you not? Just not extensions with extra capabilities for sniffing, etc. So "only thinks Apple sold you" is not really accurate.

(b) the core reason is not profit, as the "Apple didn't sell you" part implies.
Using C and C++ without libc excludes the use of nearly all common libraries.
Not clear to me why false balance is even a thing. It's the job of a paper in its reporting to report things, not to influence opinion. Implicit in "Bothsidesism" is the notion that a paper should have an interest in the direction of influence it provides. That's against the interest of "news" (in the literal sense of the word) and the general proliferation of reported facts. I suppose I'm several decades too late with this take.
It was, and since 2009 the recommendation has been to run an instance of nodejs per CPU core. The justification is that if you're already scaling your app between servers, you shouldn't need a separate mechanism to scale across multiple cores in a single server.

I'm not sure when the cluster API was added, but its been in nodejs's core for a long time. (Not that you need to use it, but still.)

Now there's FindClone instead. And I would consider finding somebody's identity by matching a photo of them with a database of VK profile pictures a privacy nightmare.

People used FindFace to deanonymize porn actresses and out them to family for instance.

Firefox has no incentive to prevent people from blocking ads, and DNS over HTTPS isn't a tool to block users from reconfiguring their own machines. All browsers let you configure your DNS settings still. The thing that DNS over HTTPS prevents is letting whoever is supplying your internet (including your ISP, whatever hotspot you're using on the go, etc) manipulate your DNS. It's not about removing control from the person who owns the machine.
Well, with things like inflation these stocks HAVE to go up. A dollar in 2022 is stronger than a dollar in 2020...

yes? you see people like yang advocating for things like UBI, and others like ocasio-cortez wanting similar programs along with other big spending programs like getting rid of student debt and free college.
Ah cool, that helps a ton. The existence of this feature as the linchpin for compatibility with npm is not clear from the rest of the Deno docs though. Perhaps it could be linked to from this page: https://deno.land/manual@v1.6.0/examples/import_export.

Also, it seems as though ./node_modules/ being the default could be assumed automatically though, no?

"imports": {
"moment": "/node_modules/moment/src/moment.js",
"lodash": "/node_modules/lodash-es/lodash.js"
}

Considering it's the default in all other JS environments, wouldn't that save the hassle of the dev having to define this for their entire tree of JS dependencies? Then Deno would be a drop-in replacement and we could move our whole codebase over to it overnight (once the Node APIs are up to par).

Given that it's a rocket, "nearly land" could mean it kept going in some way, towards space or simply not yet touched down.

So when I read the HN title and thought "what do they mean by nearly landed?" I then saw the article and realized "oh, it crashed".

I'm not sure where the balance should be... "Crash" has a negative connotation, but "nearly lands" is a pretty soft euphemism.
Thanks for the thoughtful and honest reply. However don't you agree without US capitalism ($BIGTECH) you wouldn't be as financially successful? I.E. if you stayed in Finland what would you professional and financial situation be?

Aren't you an actual lawyer? Do you think any of Giuliani's cases have enough merit that you would argue one and think you had a good chance of winning?

I could probably engineer a frivolous court case claiming Joe Biden's a space alien and is thus ineligible to be president, but that doesn't mean that anyone should withhold judgment on my claim before I inevitably flame out in the first hearing.
If I had to guess, he doesn't view the wealth as an end in and of itself.

Rubio says this, but that doesn’t comport with the contents of the report. Trump’s Campaign manager giving internal campaign data, to a man who the Senate Intel Committee characterizes as a “Russian intel Agent”. and then lying about it to the American people and the FBI is clearly evidence of collusion.

For Rubio to make this statement, he needs to explain this finding of his committee.

If you're looking for the SpaceX blocks they will be orange, since SpaceX's latency and bandwidth specs put them in the second-highest tier (but not in the 5ms/1000mbit top tier).

Since DSL can't go above 25mbit at distances found in rural areas, it's a good bet that most of the orange blocks are SpaceX, or perhaps a regional microwave provider in topographically flat areas with few trees.
> Only 2 nuclear weapons out of the 10,000s made have ever been used. Almost no one announces they are building a nuclear weapon, it is usually done in secret. So this argument does not really hold.

The entities that have, so far, made nuclear weapons are nation-states. I think most people would agree with the following statements on that: (a) it's hard to prevent nation-states from making them (not for lack of trying), (b) many of them already made them long ago (U.S., Russia, France, China, etc.) and we're not trying to say that was illegal, (c) the concept of "illegal" at the level of nation-state actors is ... to say the least, very different in implementation, and possibly in concept, from that of "illegal" at the level of individuals. Many people think that nations making more nukes is bad, and some are in favor of disarmament treaties, but I don't think they believe international law either does or should mandate disarmament for all nations. Some would say it's hypocritical for the nuclear club to try to prevent other nations from developing nukes; I suspect others agree it's hypocritical but also don't want those nations to develop nukes.

The question in this case was, "So, hypothetically, it should be your right to own nuclear weapons [personally]?" It would be impractically difficult for one person to make nuclear weapons by himself, without essentially buying or stealing all the important stuff from elsewhere. And if it were easy for one person to make nukes, then probably no ideological system could resolve that easily. There might be some middle ground of possible scenarios that's important to resolve—e.g. if a company wants to make a nuke to use for, I dunno, their own Project Orion or mining a mountain or doing an interesting underwater experiment, then should that be illegal?

We may end up facing the "one madman can create a superweapon" scenario with biotech. Perhaps, by that time, everyone will have their own hazmat suits and their houses will have UV decontamination chambers to fight off SARS-COV-5 or whatever.

> What I think most people do is they see from a practical standpoint that having unrestricted access to nuclear weapons is extremely dangerous and work backwards to justify why it fits their ideological framework.

Yep, I cheerfully admit this is what I'm doing. At least I stated it as "I think it may be possible to resolve the issue" after mentioning problems with my proposal, instead of asserting "my ideological framework resolves this easily". Though I probably should have made the "how would an individual get access to nukes anyway, and if that were easy, then what would any legal system be able to do about that?" point first.
