So did you send your database logs to a centralized logging system? Did you set up roles and keys to access those systems? Are your roles integrated with the rest of your permissions system? Do you have a perf dashboard where you can see the real-time usage of your DBs? Have you already rehearsed updating your database version?

The thing is that it's totally possible that you learned everything needed to set up the cluster, in my experience most database systems that aren't set up by a professional DBA will sooner or later hit a configuration or maintenance snag. Once that happens, you're pretty much totally on your own and for critical systems that downtime is going to cost you more than the costs of your infra.

So you either need to have a DBA on retainer if you're serious about data integrity, or you pay management costs which means your system was set by literally the most expert people on the planet in the area.

If you're running a cluster where performance is the highest priority and downtime and maintenance isn't a huge issue because you have a nice decent maintenance window and enough dev cycles to spend on staying up to date, for sure, go for it.

But in my experience, if you care more about a system staying up, good managed infra is so much more reliable that it's not even a question.
if you give someone begging on the street with a drug habit money that they use for drugs, they either won't have to steal to fund their habit or they won't suffer through painful drug withdrawl, neither of which is good (the first for society, the second for them) so there's that. whether it'd be the ethically correct thing to refuse just because you don't approve of drug use is a complicated question...
>Today you have funders focused exclusively on “Day 0” startups or ones that aren’t even created yet. They might be ideas they hatch internally (via a Foundry) or a founder who just left SpaceX and raises money to search for an idea. The legends of Silicon Valley — two founders in a garage — (HP Style) are dead. The most connected and high-potential founders start with wads of cash. And they need it because nobody senior at Stripe, Discord, Coinbase or for that matter Facebook, Google or Snap is leaving without a ton of incentives to do so.

Supposing I just left spacex, what funders would I reach out to who would give me money to "search for an idea"?
It's the main benefit IMO. It's great for quickly seeing what a component can do, but it's also fantastic for testing the different features. You can click through all the states (and transition between them), mix and match every permutation you can think of to make sure they all work together, etc. I've discovered several bugs this way in the past by selecting an odd combination of flags and finding out they break when used together.

Tbh without the ability to play with props I wouldn't even bother with a storybook-like interface. As you say, they probably have the code (and all its comments) in front of them, so what's the point of pretty documentation at that point?
Just do it already, MS. Replace Windows/NT kernel with Linux, and make Windows another Linux distro. Seems like you're kinda heading that way.

This too is a type of open door. You see more breadth and talk to more people by regularly changing employers. It enables you to move towards problems worth working on.
The criteria used were:

“This is a composite of such things as unequal treatment of women in family law and property rights, early marriage for girls, patrilocal marriage, polygamy, bride price, son preference, violence against women and social attitudes towards it (for example, is rape seen as a property crime against men?).”

That doesn’t seem particularly subjective. These are all clearly instances of unequal treatment based on gender.

Finally there is a world of difference between not having to work and being prohibited from working, but in any case not having a paid job isn’t the same as not working. There’s plenty of domestic work to be done, and there are studies into relative leisure time by gender.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13668803.2018.1...

“ In countries with conservative gender norms, low levels of childcare coverage, limited paternity leave and lower political power for women, women’s leisure quality is lower than men’s. In more egalitarian countries, the gender gap in leisure quality is lower and in some cases, reversed.”
Ah, that's where the disconnect is. $2/sqft/mo works out to $24/mo yearly (obviously) which is definitely more in line with the numbers I was talking before. ~$20/mo seems to make sense to me, much higher than that and I just don't understand paying those rates. There's plenty of wonderful places to live and work with commercial real estate in the $20's.
Fair enough, I hope fusion plants aren't adjacent to bomb technology in that case? Because that could lead to a lot of nuclear proliferation.
My dad told me that when he studied construction engineering in the late 70s at TU Munich one of their assignments was to calculate if the Isar nuclear reactors are built strong enough to hold off a Mach 2.2 impact of a Phantom II. If I recall correctly the correct answer was that they were quite a bit stronger than necessary for that.

However, I always wondered if a large civilian plane like a 747 with a speed close to Mach 1 creates more or less impact. The 747 is ~12 times heavier, but it's also less than half the speed and spreads the impact across a much larger area.
FWIW I didn't see any of the journalists I follow amplify this, nor did I see any articles in credible outlets fall for this.

So, then, what are the issues with S/MIME?

Thunderbird supports it. Apple Mail supports it. Gmail does (but not for free accounts).

It's the core of the DIRECT Messaging protocol we use in healthcare. There are millions of messages being sent via DIRECT every week.

Mind, DIRECT is more than just S/MIME, it's a just a component of it (there's an entire trust system involved as well).

I appreciate the issue with leakage, which are very real, mostly due to the UI of the systems. I honestly don't know how well the programs like Apple Mail et al keep you from shooting yourself in the foot with S/MIME encrypted mail (such as "You're about to forward an encrypted email in the clear, are you sure you want to do that?").

The post bags on PGP, so I'm just curious if there are weaknesses inbuilt to S/MIME.

I was in elementary school at the time 11 miles away, just across the river, in NJ. They really didn't want us to see the news so they took all of us into the main auditorium and had us just sit. A few of the parents of the other children worked in the city. They made it an early release day.

One of my parents worked close by my school and my cousin lived close too. Her house had a clear line of sight to the towers with some binoculars. I remember seeing little black dots fall out of buildings and I remember wondering if they were chairs. I am older now and understand it was people. I missed the collapse of the first tower but saw the second fall through the binoculars.

A lot of my classmates didn't show up for a few days. I didn't understand the gravity of what had happened until was quite a bit older.
It's a common tactic for affiliate price comparison/aggregation sites, like pharmacy aggregators, also do that.

What is Maven?
Maven is a platform that enables instructors to launch and run their cohort based classes successfully.
Cohort Based Classes are virtual versions of a regular classes in real life. Last decade of learning on internet was auto-didactic. Anyone who wanted to learn something went through a series of non interactive blogs and videos. Cohort Based Courses are 4-8 Weeks courses where instructors teach to a live set of students virtually. Its virtualization of the real world classes.
Short and harsh (likely too harsh):

My point is not that Matrix is complicated, thus we should avoid making it more so. My point is that the approach that Matrix chooses, even in its most minimal form, requires Matrix to be complex and resource-hungry, thus it seems prudent to direct attention and effort towards cultivating a multitude of implementations and deployments rather than enhancing marketability.

A social argument against features, not the standard technical one.
Yeah, the absence of a sudden cliff is very nice. I think we fixed the main causes back in ~9.5. But the gradient at the end is pretty clear, and even at 10k the throughput is already less than 50% of the max. And it's dropping faster and faster.

It's also important to keep in mind this is an extremely simple workload, essentially just read-only point queries, on about 3GB of data.

But when you have near-infinity resources, everything is technically "non-negligible," and that's the case here. Let's say there's a 0.01% chance that Mastodon beats Facebook. Okay, what's 0.01% of however much Facebook makes? That's how much they should spend on it, and I'd bet that amount of money is nothing to scoff at.

Sadly this is mostly a myth. It is a little known fact that there were five separate U.S. military war games being run simultaneously with 9/11 and three of them involved airliner hijacking scenarios, including flying airplanes into buildings. Worse, these war games involved simulated inputs into NORAD and FAA radar systems, resulting in mass confusion. There is an excellent documentary that covers these war games, including actual NORAD, FAA and EADS audio [0].

stock market is an exchange, so for every dollar flowing "into" stocks, there is a dollar flowing out. For every buyer, there is a seller.

In which case, what possible usefullness can one obtain from counting buyers but ignoring sellers?
Antipsychotics are not something to be handed out like candy. They have serious, sometimes permanent and sometimes fatal, side effects in anyone of any age. The article notes how that class of medication increases mortality in elderly people in particular.

The fact that some people were prescribed haloperidol as the first line of treatment instead of a newer, safer antipsychotics also blows my mind.

I'm terrified of growing old in this country.
Well, I'd argue that's more an issue of the web application. If you're on a system with limited resources, and the webapp insists on opening hundreds of connections, assuming they're free of charge, it's a bit silly.

Anyway, this is unlikely to change anytime soon, given the Postgres connection/process model. We're continuously improving things, but each connection has some non-negligible costs (CPU, memory), so in those cases a connection pool is still a good idea.

This was the final straw that lead me to start moving away from Facebook Messenger. They were preventing me from sending seemingly random links in 1:1 chats. That was enough reason to start moving friends to a solution with E2EE.

Well, it's simpler than the real phenomenon it is simulating, but the fact that even that simplified model gives the same result we see in reality, is itself quite significant. It suggests that it is not some quirk of FB algorithm that is the issue, it's the very essence of what a general purpose social network IS, that's the issue. It suggests that tweaking the algorithm is unlikely to solve the problem.
"Email is inherently unsafe, everything will leak, therefore do not use encrypted email".

This is about the equivalent of not just throwing out the baby with the bath water, but taking the baby putting it in a rocket and launching it at the moon.

The way this benefits the company is that individuals are happy and create relationships with coworkers making work more enjoyable and making it harder to quit. Companies wants you to feel like a family so you'll stay for a lower salary or so you'll accept more grueling conditions.

Knowing this, from a company perspective, remote can work if individuals have a way to create relationships. In my experience, some people bond over work but most bond by spending time with each other doing friendly activities which are not work related.

An in-person party or a holiday is the best option but some online gaming is a decent substitute in these authoritarian times. Some people swear by virtual coffees rotations that randomly match people but I had a couple of good ones and dozens of cringy/weird.

I hope no one was actually surprised.
Since you're boosting it here, do you have a link to any sort of analysis where the math works out on a land value tax?

The Scientific American article does bring up a number of interesting social dynamics. However the modeling described seems bogus to me. The algorithms sound like they are incredibly oversimplified. It seems unreasonable to assume that all people interact with social media in the same way or to assume that their behavior is random.

For perspective, genetic algorithms are a biased random walk and they clearly work quite well.

In many ways this is the core of good science. "Hey, this seems unusual." followed by "Here is a theory, and a hypothesis with a prediction of this theory is what is going on" then "Here is an experiment to test that hypothesis with all the ways we can think of that might mess up the answer compensated for." and then "Here are the results of the experiment." At which point other labs can go do the same experiment and see if they get the same results, and if so they can try to screw with those results in ways that they believe invalidate the theory, until everyone can reproduce the canonical experiment and on remaining theory agrees with the evidence produced by the experiments.

That said, nothing I saw in the paper suggested it would be expensive to reproduce this effect. The palladium is pricey but you don't apparently need very much and the fabrication, as described, it pretty standard semiconductor fabrication steps. Feature size is pretty large compared to modern processes so you wouldn't need a state of the art fab to make a wafer of these things.

I understand that point, to an extent. I mean, your TCP connection in the next step hits how many switches on the way? With which both your actual IP therefore location could be determined. Trying to hide subnet from just a resolver seems...small in the grand scheme.
