SpaceX's ventures have generally served more utilitarian purposes. There are significant economic, scientific and military advantages to reducing the cost of getting things into orbit.

I don't think any of the three are bad, but I do think there is a gradient in terms of ambitions/successes that puts Musk well ahead of Bezos (at least until New Glen launches) and Bezo ahead of Branson.

While Bezos/Branson's priorities seems slightly backwards to me, it isn't wholey unreasonable to take that stance that making spaceflight available to more people will increase the level of interest in spaceflight (even if the timing seems a bit tone deaf for that goal.)

At least then you’ll have a shot at actually understanding it. I can’t trust kubernetes when anything goes wrong because the system just isn’t very transparent.

Uhm yes? Thanks for understanding my point.
I find that I respond much better to music with fewer instruments, but a stronger percussion beat. I don't like too much noise in my ears. None of these options listed here seem to appeal to that genre.
True, they do provide a level of identity, albeit imperfect. But it's good enough that I don't give my phone number to companies outside of very limited circumstances (to keep my number from being sold or used for marketing purposes).
From micro economic levels, it makes sense, short term rental in many cases are more lucrative, thus prevalence of AirBnB can push out long term residents.

But from a macro level, that would mean the city is getting more tourists, more business and job opportunities for its residents, ultimately leading to a more prosperous populace, right? Or are there other forces at play preventing locals from benefiting from more tourism?
> Bezos is not 1 million times more productive

Bezos has unambiguously produced 1m times more than what most humans have.

No, the difficulty of increasing supply has directly led to increased home prices.

Absolutely. In fact, I make more than most Americans ($300k household income) and I wouldn't mind more progressive tax brackets, especially if it meant we could provide our fellow countrymen with basic necessities like healthcare and continued education. My voting record reflects this sentiment. The funny thing is, Bezos has a lower tax rate than me and he's a billionaire.
> I want to be able to have a hyperlink on my website to a TikTok video or an Instagram post and...

To me, that's not an interesting application. If you want to use the web to share images or videos, that's fine.

If you want to create such content however, why not have a native application that can actually take advantage of the hardware?

> The world people (like you) seem to want is one where the web is essentially dead and everyone just sits around in some subset of waller gardens that they don't really leave, with some minimal amount of hyperlinks available to get content in and out of other products.

Hyperlinks don't necessarily make my life easier. Let's say I want to get <large file> from application A and into application B: The web would just get in the way. I have a file system and all (native) applications can read/write/mmap it. Import/Export workflows exist. It's a solved problem, the web doesn't need to eat everything.

It is. That's not the aspect I was addressing. The number of former wives of Khashoggi is, however, trivial to research.

The accepted definition of a widow is a woman who was married to person at the time of that person's death:

https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/widow

(The definition specifies "husband", though I suspect with the rise in gay marriages, a female survivor of an intact legal union will be considered a widow regardless of the deceased spouse's gender.)

There's also the peculiarity of Western (predominantly Christian) tradition to unquestioningly accept serial polygamy, but not simultaneous, despite at least the sexual elements the latter itself being a widespread practice.

I can't speak for notafraudster's intent, though their usage isn't an accepted one.

As this topic becomes more and more mainstream, I look forward to the numerous Twitter posts sure to come from Airbnb employees about the taxing social implications that come with working at Airbnb, how it weighs on their conscious, and and their ultimate decision to follow what’s right and leave. But only after their RSU’s have vested, of course.

More seriously, I’ve been very disappointed with Airbnb recently. I spent the last two weeks in Manhattan. Every night at the radio city apartments/hotel (a nice, if average, hotel right near Times Square, 49th x 7th) was cheaper than all surrounding Airbnb’s, with the exception of one, which for several days listed cheaper at $90/night. As luck would have it, that Airbnb was infested with bedbugs, and I got a full refund from Airbnb after documenting the photos with proof.

Years ago, it used to be both cheaper and often higher quality to book stays via Airbnb. Nowadays, the majority that are priced reasonably (ie within $100 of local hotels) feel like high-priced hostels.

Another issue: each listing will almost always include an exorbitant cleaning fee, to the tune of 20-X% of the actual listing (I saw multiple rooms advertised around $150-200 with cleaning fees of $100).

In my opinion, Airbnb came to disrupt the hotel market, but hotels have caught up, and now they’re just disrupting communities.
First they need to get Amazon delivering things via drone to acclimate everyone to the idea of drones buzzing around everywhere dropping things off. Post that, no one would blink an eye.
This reads like a criticism of complexity analysis, but really you're just describing it. By definition and by design, algorithmic complexity analysis only shows you how an algorithm behaves asymptotically.

That means it's often not the right tool for selecting an algorithm with optimal real-world performance, but I think that's less a fault of the tool than it is a fault of the tool selector.

Saying, "complexity analysis ignores constant factors and small-data size performance" is sort of like saying "hammers ignore the threading on screws".
Those types of analyses are informative, but have problems related to the appropriate timescale for the causal processes involved, and can't rule out certain types of processes.

For example, that type of analysis might suggest that the direct crime -> airbnb increase link is unlikely. However, it's possible that there's some other process that's more like simultaneous perceived neighborhood quality change -> airbnb increase and neighborhood quality change -> crime increase (basically third variable change).

Reading this paper I was persuaded that tourism per se is maybe not the causal factor (although not convinced because their measures -- reviews -- were a little odd). However, I'm less convinced that airbnb rental per se is the causal factor. Maybe more closely related to whatever the causal factor(s) is(are) but not necessarily it.
Yes. By reasons I expounded in another comment I believe a percentage of any enterprises's shares (in the order of at least 20%) should be owned by the public and pay out an equal dividend to every citizen.
There's a qualitative difference between the sort of informal estimates you mentioned ("it'll be hard") vs the sort talked about here—people don't treat the informal estimates as commitments!

As soon as an estimate is really a commitment it totally changes the dynamics around it and actively impacts autonomy, so my impression is that what people mean by "no estimates" is more like "no timeline commitments".
That's a logical fallacy. Ad Hominem attacks and appeals to ignorance do not mean you have made a good argument.

For instance, archive.org.

Post anything, host anything, curated selections of exabytes of data from all over the world (although primarily English speaking countries). The time to digitize the articles is precious and may cost a bit, but hosting it is simple and practically free when compared to the cost/weight of archive.org.
But why, when I can just use a laptop that doesn't have such restrictions?
Yep thats what I was getting at. Taxes and insurance alone put in a nice dent every year.
Just hustlers...it was dumb. I used it once or twice and never bothered again.
And if it wasn't for people turning that supply into AirBnBs to satisfy their short term greed and tourists, there wouldn't be as much of an issue. AirBnB has certainly contributed a lot to the lack of supply in major tourist destinations.
I'm not aware of any communist country that didn't turn into an authoritarian state where the government imposed strict censorship and controls on the population.

When you look at why, it starts to make sense. Without strict economic controls black markets start to appear, where goods are bought and sold outside of the communist economy. Communist philosophy requires that black markets don't exist, because they allow for capitalism, private property, and a market economy. So Communism requires that these things be removed from society, which requires brute force.

Therefore taken from first principles, Communism is an authoritarian philosophy because it controls an individuals ability to buy, sell, and trade goods.
Approving competition is proof of privilege?
I've used indexed skiplist implementations in DIY database projects. The idea was to first build a super fast K/V store (i.e. to memory+disk), and then build skiplists on top of that for tying together collections of indexed data. The problem with skiplists is that they kinda suck when used directly with mutable block storage. There is no way to do incremental updates like with a splay tree where you can write just the diff (a modified sub-tree and a new root node) to the end of a contiguous log file.

People earning money by collecting rent on real estate really aren’t contributing much of anything to anybody, more of a tax on the rest of us by directly taking our income or raising prices on the real estate which will do so otherwise.
I respect your position but I completely disagree. We are so far off from needing to worry about the sun dying out. We should be focused on stopping and reversing climate change.
>“Our generations Multics”

What, because they’re both complex?

Multics was never successful enough to be used much outside of Honeywell.

They’re both considered complex, but there are so many other examples of industry relevant technologies he could’ve used. Products that’ve actually gained communities and a user space enough to gain insight.

I get it, you hate using GooberBoobies or whatever.
Theres no supply because investors are hoarding them. Blackrock is buying out entire neighborhoods and thats really the tip of the iceberg compared to airbnb listings.
There are. Bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and more all offer community to LGBT people , as they do many other minorities (and special interest groups, for that matter).
Agreed; I think a better analogy for Kubernetes is XML. So many wasted meetings about where to split up namespaces and should every last thing be an attribute or a subtag; none of that added business value. JSON took all those decisions off the table. And yes, huge industrials validly complained that JSON didn't cover X or Y or Z, but for most users JSON is a much better solution then XML.

Kubernetes reminds me a lot of XML; there are too many decision points adding unnecessary complexity for the average user's needs. Too many foot guns. Too many unintuitive things.

People keep on describing it as "declarative", which seems to be about as true as saying that Java is a functional language. Hopefully someday we'll have something actually declarative, and much more intuitive, something more like AWS's CDK.
Perhaps Microsoft is doing what I suggested at least 10 years ago on the Mini-Microsoft website: That Microsoft "do an Apple".

Apple took an underlying BSD base and layered the proprietary Apple GUI on top of it. I had suggested that Microsoft use a Linux base, and layer a (proprietary, perhaps) Windows GUI over the top of that.

At the time, the softies laughed down that suggestion. But I still think it's a valid Windows business model.
Unfortunately it's also not just resources that cost money.

A couple of fun billing surprises I've seen.

1.
A bug in a system that uploaded quite a lot of data to Amazon S3 caused it to hit the S3 API to the tune of about $10K/day. Because AWS billing is usually 2-3 days lagged, it took us 3 days to notice. We fixed it right away once we found it. Goodby to that $30K.

2.
An engineer did an Athena query that happened to walk many TB of data. And they unknowingly did it in us-west-2, but the data was in us-east-1. So that resulted in a cross region transfer to the tune of $10K for that single query.
Heartless, rule-based, unappealable decisions have been a feature of human society for as long as there has been organized bureaucratic society. It is not the case that soft-hearted human bureaucrats are all that stands in the way of the Kafkaesque nightmare.

If we want better social and political decisions, we have to engage in society and politics. The AI will follow what we decide, as it always does.
That's worth something, but having a standard protocol is worth so much more. If your architecture had become the de-facto standard for this stuff, I can assure you that I'd be praising it instead.
The penalties can be effective if you are a citizen of the country that you are purchasing the home in.

Also, for American citizens, they almost always have US annual income taxes, which are taxed on worldwide income. The taxation situation becomes tremendously more complicated if you own a home (or homes) abroad.

So, interestingly, Americans may hoard homes stateside but rarely so abroad.
Man, imagine writing a memoir, pouring your heart and life into it.

Then it's behind a goddamn paywall, lol.
Not the OP here.

We aren't really comparing apples and oranges in all cases that have been talked about in the larger thread. Some of the comparisons seem to be between "self hosted LAMP stack" vs. "kubernetes as a service on AWS". These are vastly different things. We should compare "self hosted LAMP stack" vs. "hosted in cloud LAMP stack" for example or "self-hosted kubernetes" vs. "self-administered kubernetes on EC2" vs "kubernetes as a service on AWS". All of these will have vastly different characteristics, pros and cons depending on your company and teams' realities.

Failover is something that a load balancer does automatically for you. Your services just need to provide a health check. Now where you actually run those nodes is a different thing. These might be slow to procure servers hosted at your provider. Or these might be manually set up EC2 instances or terraformed EC2 instances. Dunno what everyone uses as load balancers nowadays but a previous place for example had F5s and we had our own vsphere farm.

Sharing servers: I don't think this is a good idea at all except if you mean internally and if you do that then there's good and bad ways (see above on vsphere farm. If one project caused another to starve performance wise because of what was running on the same physical machines it was easy to resolve. If this was virtual servers at a traditional hoster, good luck. AWS is probably somewhere in between with EC2 and especially their storage.

Dedicated CI/CD pipelines: This is an awesome one to have and can cost an arm and a leg. I enjoy this very much at my current place w/ EC2 CI agents that scale with the number of devs currently working and dedicated "complete copy of Prod" dev environments (basically a kubernetes namespace for each dev/QA person/e2e test run to play with as they like).

Infra as code: Does not require kubernetes at all but can be implemented with kubernetes. If you already used docker to run stuff anyway for example and you can "abstract away" the kubernetes complexities to your SRE team and/or AWS, go ahead and use kubernetes. But be aware that if nobody at your place actually know kubernetes because you just relied on the hosted version of it, you're at the whim of their support people when something blows up in Production. You may not be big enough to have your own SRE team to take care of this but then you might also just not really benefit enough from kubernetes complexity and a simpler arrangement could have been easier for the people you do have to actually understand.
> but who wants to "design a compiler?"

Lots of people, actually! Just in recent years, Golang, TypeScript, and Rust have shown there's plenty of demand for new languages (compilers!) as developers and their requirements keep evolving. Given how expensive and time-consuming languages are to build and evolve, I'm honestly flabbergasted that we've seen 3+ languages come of age in the past decade and break into the mainstream.
Without scale, reporting on donations like this is nothing but PR for the ultra rich.

Bezos donated $200M, his net worth: $211 billion

Scale that to a normal human’s net worth - let’s take the national average: $121,411

And you see that he just gave away the equivalent of $120 dollars. Barely pocket change.
Tourists are people too. This really seems like an extreme version of nativism.
Yeah and the positions also keep getting bunched together with no end in sight. I suspect in the future we will see postings such as DevQASecMLOps and salaries will bump up nominally
I think it depends on how large the change is. If the change is small — e.g. we need to slightly modify the signature of some function, then the library maintainer would be responsible as they can easily reason about the change (or automatically generate the change) and there is not much benefit to asking the consumer to generate it.

Approving commits is part of any (non-global approval) LSC process; originally I meant that there's a lot more friction in a consumer generating code changes than approving them. If you received an email saying that you had to make a bunch of small changes to your codebase, you would probably ignore it and keep working on your P1/P2; on the other hand if you receive a small, reasonable CL from a library team updating their function usages you would likely LGTM without much thought.

On the other hand, if the change is: we need to completely overhaul the interface of this library/service, then you need more in-depth reasoning and the consumer team is responsible for making the change (similar to deprecating a service), since these large "deprecations" require a lot more knowledge of how consumers use the code.

There is also a middle ground where the changes are somewhat easy to reason about but still require some human intervention; then the task is usually assigned to volunteers.
To better understand people of differing beliefs, you have to temporarily pretend to accept their fundamental tenets.

To use your example, understand that most sects of Christianity teach that in order to gain entrance to heaven, one must accept Jesus as one's savior and at least try to follow the moral code promulgated by Christianity. People who do not will go to hell and suffer an eternity of torment. Understand, this is not a theoretical "what if" to them, they believe this to be true. Completely.

Thus, if you are a good person, would you not want to save others from eternal damnation? I mean, what kind of heartless human being would just let others go to hell without even trying a little? A good person, a kind person would therefore try to convert others to the path that would lead them to heaven.

Or similarly, if you believe a fetus is a human being then abortion is murder. Not the "termination of a fetus", but the literal equivalent of chopping up a newborn baby. If you understand that some people actually believe this, it is easy to understand why most pro-life arguments just seem facile to them. To them, those arguments are simply attempting to justifying the literal murder of innocent babies.

Putting yourself into the shoes of others and clearly understanding (not accepting as true, just accepting that they believe it is true) their underlying reasons is, IMO, critical to understanding what may, to you, be "crazy" or even "evil" positions.
Once again, appeals to ignorance, hasty generalizations, false dichotomies and slippery slopes. All logical fallacies.

Convincing yourself that the task is impossible and doomed to fail does not make it impossible and doomed to fail.

The UX staff have to do *something* while they’re employed. If their training is best suited to the development of brand-new products over maintaining established ones, and if they want to enjoy both job security and career advancement, the UI is in a constant state of flux. On the business side, I think there might be the belief that these updates could have some competitive or PR value.

What’s complex about *nix? All you need to understand are device files, POSIX permissions and ACLs, cgroups, tcp/udp sockets, nginx/haproxy, thread/process scheduling, (virtual) memory, PAM, dbus, syslog, pipes, unix sockets, 30 filesystem options, nfs, userspace vs. kernel space, sysvinit or 10 flavors of systemd files, iptables/ufw, networkmanager, ssh, selinux, chroot, flatpack, snaps, rpm, deb, ansible/chef/puppet.

Oh deploying on the cloud? Cloudformation/AzureRM as well.

Pretty easy. No damn complex k8s needed.
