I think they might want to - but they won't be able to. Unless it's done as a cartel action (and some of the FAANGs in particular have gotten trouble for cartel labour actions before) - then one company is going to go first and lose all their valuable employees - while the companies that lag behind will scoop up all those high value employees and probably decide not to risk it after all.

People talking about macroeconomics often talk about how markets respond to certain pressures - as this gets further from the academics it gets watered down and that response is assumed to be instantaneous - but it isn't. In theory a payroll tax on the employer and income tax on the employee have the same long term economic outcomes - in practice that long term realization takes so long to work through the system that the effects of decreased take home usually end up being swallowed many times over by inflation before anyone feels any affect of it.

Cassandra won't try and load a partition into memory. It doesn't work that way. The only way you would get behavior like that is by setting "allow filtering" to on. Allow filtering is a dedicated keyword for "I know I shouldn't do this but I'm going to anyway". If you're trying to run those types of queries, use a different database. If someone is making you use a transactional database without joins for analytical load, get a different job because that's a nightmare.

Also, your partitions should never get that large. If you're designing your tables in such away that the partitions grow unbounded, there's an issue. There are lots of ways to ensure that the cardinality of partitions grows as the dataset grows. And you actually control this behavior by managing the partitioning. It's really easy to grok the distribution of data in on disk if you think about how it's keyed.

You've basically listed a bunch of examples of what happens when you don't use a wide columnar store correctly. If you're constantly fixing downed nodes, you're probably running the cluster on hardware from Goodwill.

This is a pretty good list of what not to do with Cassandra, or any similar database.

Could but by and large didn't, at least not for consumer software.

You walk into a store, you buy a disc, it's yours. Legally obtained copy. No terms.

After that you'd be free to use it without having any terms be imposed on you by the copyright holder, because using isn't copying, and if you're not doing something that is the copyright holder's exclusive right, you don't need their permission to do it.

If we wanted to follow this line of thinking, maybe you should also need a license to listen to music because today's digital media players tend to make temporary copies of the audio in RAM and buffers..

I think this technicality makes a big difference.

Of course I'm sure they could figure out other ways to give copyright holders the power to impose their terms on users, but the way it's currently done in EU feels like a technical 'gotcha' to me.

"Article 4 of Directive 91/250 lays down the exclusive rights of the copyright holder, rights of a preventative nature, in its computer program. The first of those rights is the right of reproduction, which is defined in particularly broad terms because it covers not only any form of reproduction, whether permanent or temporary, but also acts of reproduction necessary to use a program. Unlike other categories of works, in any case those which are distributed on their own medium, a computer program always requires a reproduction, if only a temporary one, in the computer’s memory in order for that program to be used. The rightholder’s exclusive rights therefore constitute, as far as computer programs are concerned, greater intrusion into the private sphere of the user than in the case of other categories of protected subject matter, because those rights require de facto the authorisation of the rightholder even simply to use the program.

..

Thus, the copyright holder’s exclusive rights in a computer program cover not only traditional acts of exploitation of the work under copyright, but also the enjoyment of that work in the user’s private sphere."

Are Twitter, Facebook and Reddit meaningfully different in this regard?

I think they have different affinities to different demographics, but the toxic behavior is quite similar among all of them.

Is there something about Twitter in particular that makes it particularly toxic, or is it inherent to platforms where people compete for attention in the public square?
That doesn't follow. You can read it in the exact opposite direction, that every other company culture is already behaving as if it is a monopoly.

No, I assume the real reason to be the fact that many extensions need to be adapted to mobile as can be gleaned from the non-appearance of the 'More options' page in PrivacyRedirect. Mozilla just chose a rather clunky and ham-fisted way to keep untested extensions from running on mobile. They could have added a simple option to allow untested extensions from the standard repo with a disclaimer of such a configuration not being supported.

You probably could, and people would volunteer that they aren't that good at coding and therefore screen themselves out (assuming you need people who are good at coding).

You definitely run the risk of not hiring people who are victims of impostor syndrome, but it's the same logic, and it would for sure apply to coding.

There's censorship, and then there's "this is off topic" or "this is low quality" or "this is redundant". Open fire hoses of information regardless of topic, quality or quantity are less than useless. Look at what late-stage Usenet became, or why nobody answers phone calls from a number not in their contact list, or look up what became of faxing, and how Sanford Wallace ruined it.

thehill.com chose to publish that. Nobody else has to spend a nickel repeating it, linking to it, or giving them any credence whatsoever. That's not censorship, that's exercising property rights.

But in the interest of not censoring opinions, here's mine:

In the 80s, the FTC and FCC let a few large, conservative-oriented companies buy up radio and newspapers, and let the Fairness Doctrine slide. Opinions other than "rock ribbed conservative" all but disappeared from radio, TV, and mostly newspapers. We were all told "ha ha that's market forces". Now, it appears that conservative opinions aren't 100% of what's floating around, and conservative-oriented media companies aren't 100% in charge. So places like thehill.com whine about it. Tough. Ha ha that's market forces. Get out there and compete in the Marketplace of Ideas, don't whine about it and try to get the US Court system on your side for a little conservative opinion affirmative action. That's my opinion anyway, and anybody that down votes me, or has a differing opinion is censoring me!

Worth noting that many times, the complaint is that the query is answered by an infobox... and the info in that box is provided by a website... and that website is the one complaining about a lack of clicks, because now people just use Google's scraped answers instead of actually visiting the site.

It seems valid to complain that Google is profiting off of a site while simultaneously harming that site's visibility.

I am probably not qualified to answer that, but I'll give you my take.

The US Marine Corps can do anything it sets its mind to. Marines are an amazing and rare breed of people with a culture to boot. To this day, outside of SOCOM, they are one of the only fighting forces that I know of that continue the legacy, lifestyle, and traditions of a warrior culture. In this capacity, yes, I think if you cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war they will do exactly what they are meant to do with zeal and tenacity.

On the other hand, I think the Marine Corps is bound by tricky circumstances, including in Afghanistan. When guerrilla warfare becomes the standard a uniformed military is at a strategic disadvantage. We are bound to things like the Law of Land and Warfare and the Geneva Convention while the enemy is not. They'll blow up a truck in the middle of a convoy and start firing on your position as you try to rescue your friends from burning alive. They'll plant multi-decompression IED's which explode after having been stepped on multiple times because they know watching your best friend or squad leader getting blown up is a shattering experience. They'll have you chase them through a town, backlaying IED's in buildings that you fought from because they know when they really bring the heat and you retreat that you'll go places that you think you've already cleared as safe. They'll pick fights in crowded markets because they know that having to assess a crowd of targets and picking the wrong target is damning both personally and in PR. They'll send kids to fuck with you, throw rocks at your helmet so you take your eyes off your surroundings -- and they know because the folks at home will ask questions that you won't do anything.

The Taliban, and other groups like them, know that folks back home in America are always watching and forming opinions -- many of them in their favor. They know that the more frustrating they make the war, and the harder and more drawn out they make it the more frustrated the American people become. They don't really need to do much; blow up a bridge here, destroy some cellphone towers, set off a couple IED's in crowded spaces, etc... It's the epitome of slow and steady wins the race.

Can a war be won against such people? I think so. The British beat the IRA into submission and they used most of the tactics the Taliban/ISIS/Al Queda use. The difference is they had popular support and it was much closer to home.
A lot of consumers probably don't know or care so they might get away with the same products and just take the hit from the few returns. I'm in NZ and never knew about that reasonable lifetime bit. I just have a vague awareness that most appliances come with a card saying they have a 1 or 2 year warranty and beyond that, assume it's on me. There's usually some language like "in addition to your rights under the CGA" but who knows what those rights are. Also, below some price, it's just too much hassle to have figure out how returning it works and weighing the risk that I might get charged for the repair if it turns out to be due to mistreatment, not a defect.

Exactly. Were smart TVs to come with OSMC pre-installed, where I have full root privileges on the computer, then it would be a fantastic thing. But since they are instead designed to spy on the alleged owner, to report usage, to download unskippable advertisements, then smart TVs have instead become an abomination.
Dealing with fraud is a very large part of holding money on other people's behalf, and the suggestion that this wouldn't be Coinbase's problem to detect and mitigate speaks to the ridiculousness of crypto.
And this is why exactly none is ever held responsible for any crime done by an organization with more than two levels of authority. In my opinion, the problem is not the organization, but the lack of legal framework to put them all in jail. Then you'd see how all subordinates and CxOs would scramble to fix their shady practices. But I guess a clean business environment wouldn't be "competitive" or what's the word of the month...

I am no fan of apple but this man used phishing attacks to gain access to just 306 icloud accounts. That hardly seams a significant failing on apples part. He used the credentials of the victims so I'm not really clear how rate limiting should have played a role, you should be limited from accessing your own account?

When I worked in gaming the reward for getting your work done early was... attending the same mandatory overtime as everyone else because one department going home early would "hurt team morale". Granted - the same company seemed pretty oblivious to how much underbudgeting projects "hurt team morale" but that side of the equation was never changed. I thankfully changed industries but I still live with some of the consequences of doing too much OT in my youth.

Look, I fully support lots of vacation, staying happy, diversity, avoiding burnout - all the things big tech workers rally for. But HN offers zero optimism about solving hard problems, joy of discovery and innovation, struggling through challenges and facing them head on, cooperating with others, leadership and straightforwardness, etc. It's become a cesspool of big tech agony, mixed with social drama, activism and shunning down people that are looking for inspiration. Used to be not like that and it is affecting people like you and many new brilliant people that see no hope but to get a cozy gig at FAANG, check the stock market everyday.
I meant to say H1B transfer process. Previously, it used to be straightforward but the Trump administration started treating them as new applications and doled out RFEs (Request for Evidence) willy-nilly.

Redis and workalikes are in-memory key-value datastores, more appropriate for real-time transactional workloads. They serve entirely different purposes than Hadoop, which is a data analytics platform. Hadoop is targeted towards large "slow" data processing jobs, using a function called "map reduce." Redis and its workalikes are targeted to quick atomic CRUD operations (create, reads, updates and deletes).

It's like asking what's the difference between a truck and a Ferrari. They both have engines and steering wheels, right?

But totally different workloads.
It's definitely real. A/V receivers are the typical devices to support HEC, so you can run one Ethernet cable to the receiver and use a smart TV with the HDMI audio return channel, with one HDMI cable.
Yes, so a client program that sees such both files with the same inode will correctly assume that both files are the same. However, the assumption is broken when using snapshots since the same inode may refer to the same file but from differing snapshots, so it's no longer the same.
Nice! I'll give this a shot.
I see several issues:

- No out of the box horizontal sharding, according to the post they had 4TB (compressed) data in the cluster in 2017. Looking at their growth I think it is safe to assume that today they would have >50TB which can't be done on a single node. You could use Citus but this is not exactly vanilla Postgres anymore. For such a simple data model wasting time implementing your own sharding solution and (more importantly) shard migration makes no sense.

- Discord is storing text data, in Postgres this will be stored in TOAST tables which has some drawbacks.

- Their workload is mostly inserts, almost no updates. Vacuum only operates on complete tables so you would wast I/O and CPU processing data which you don't even touch. You can partition tables but it's a manual process and you have to make compromises. In 2017, Postgres partitioning still had many performance drawbacks.

- No out of the box redundancy.

- Once your data doesn't fit in memory, Postgres performance becomes unpredictable.

Personally I would have chosen ElasticSearch for this project.
Wages might be sticky, but surely it wouldn't be difficult for employers to simply slow down the increase in wages, both by decreasing the compensation and/or number of new entry-level roles, and by decreasing and/or delaying promotions. This seems to me that in many industries/markets this could be done by employers without any sort of identifiable cartelization.

Here in 2021 it has been well over 50 years since the first transistor was built.

> The first working device to be built was a point-contact transistor invented in 1947 by American physicists John Bardeen and Walter Brattain while working under William Shockley at Bell Labs. The three shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.

> tricked into clicking links or downloading attachments

Is that "phishing"? Those actions should be secure to perform in a browser. The security model of browsers/computers is such that I don't need to establish authenticity/trust in order to click the link or even download something.

Of course, that security model sometimes has holes, but if for example clicking the link enables an XSS attack, I'd call it (primarily) an XSS attack. Same story if downloading an attachment did much more than just creating a file on disk.
I've been using Liquidsoap for over 5 years now, running radio stations with live DJs, automatic archiving, volume normalisation and whatever custom stuff you want to add to it.
I've also experimented with the video side of it for a few years, including OBS live video ingest support.

I currently run 5 Liquidsoap radio + video streams off the one server.
It's a very powerful tool for broadcasting in general.

I am the Nelua author, and I've used Nim for a reasonable amount of time before creating Nelua, thus Nim served as one of the inspirations for the project and they share similarities. But while Nim resembles Python, Nelua resembles Lua. Also when comparing both, Nelua tries to be more minimal and generate more readable and compact C code.
That's an indictment of every other company as well then. The point is about anti-competitive ideology. If "anything that can be used against the company" also includes anti-competitive thinking, then that's the conflict.
