I saw a Facebook post recently that I really liked:

"Nobody who believes in conspiracy theories has ever been a project manager."

If you've experienced how difficult it can be to cat-herd 10-20 people on some web migration project, you know how impossible it would be to have a huge group of people engaged in some goal that nearly everyone would find objectionable, be effective, and somehow manage to keep it all a secret.

There are people who like running their own linux server with their own hardware. Occasionally those people are also interesting in creating videos or have friends/family that are.

There are also people who get funded through sites like patreon, who might not care too much for youtube advertisement or YT freemium. Sometimes you even see youtube personalities switching to twitch or other platforms just in order to escape youtube and do legal activity which is just close to impossible on youtube. There is an endless stream of youtube videos complaing about youtube copyright system and how it makes their job close to impossible in some cases. Game reviews and movie reviews are two areas almost dominated by the issue of false copyright claims, which has forced some creators to abandon the platform as a revenue sources.

There is even float plane which was designed from the ground to solve the youtube problem, created by a company that fully relied on youtube for its existence. If your company existence is depended on a free service provided by someone else, you might want to reconsider how safe you should feel. PeerTube might serve a similar purpose.

On top of that we have scientists who might want to know that their research isn't taken down because of false copyright claims or fleeting politics. A company that has linked instruction videos in their books/teaching material might want to be sure that links still work 10 years from now. Activists might want to avoid the risk that their documentation doesn't go dark from a political requests or false claim. Police brutality victims might want to be sure that the copyrighted music playing in the background, placed there intentionally to get copyright claims, does not stop them from uploading videos.
It’s literally all over the Peertube homepage
Absolutely not. In my world, a disclaimer is the line between merely "not OK", and "criminal hacking punishable by prison time".

That's how users of RAT* software are treated - what makes this different? A legal notice they hid as best they could? Currently, that might make it legal, but morally it makes no difference.

But I didn't suggest a prominent notice because that makes it better (though it does - if I were spied on, I'd want to know). I suggested it because that would make the victims of surveillance fight it. You can't rebell against what you don't know about.

I've used sendfile + kTLS on Linux for a similar use case. It worked fine from the start, was broken in two (?) kernel releases for some use cases, and now works fine again from what I can tell. This is software kTLS, though; haven't tried hardware (not the least because it easily saturates 40 Gbit/sec, and I just don't have that level of traffic).

> How is deliverability on a self-hosted solution like this?

It's extremely difficult to deliver email to Outlook and Gmail Inboxes from a self-hosted solution on a cloud (or residential) IP address. I wrote more about my experience here: https://www.attejuvonen.fi/dont-send-email-from-your-own-ser...
Two separate contracts:

One being an “Enterprise” license which you charge anywhere between $500-$5000/month.

The other being a consulting agreement which they pay $X/hr for whatever number of hours the customizations will take.

Make sure contractually you can resell any customizations to anyone else. And make sure you. And code-wise, make sure you organize their tweaks into modules which you can swap in and out.
One man's criminal is another man's freedom fighter. Snowden is a criminal but his supporters consider him a decent person. I do not believe that the two are mutually exclusive.

The whole point of projects like freenet is to let people communicate data between each other without censorship and without being identified, no matter what that data is. If you disagree with that principle then I believe that freenet is probably not for you.

> That does not really do much to convince me running it is a good thing, you know?

Make sure to block TLS connections on every network that you manage. You don't know what naughty things your users might be doing after all. You would not want to help a criminal, would you?
Your second paragraph disproves your first, do you realize that? Youtube caches locally in a decentralized fashion, with redundant data, etc.
I absolutely agree with you! The next version of Flash Fill that we are aspiring to build will not only handle a much larger class of transformations, but will hopefully also show you the code, and suggest you corner cases for inspection and soliciting more examples from the user. Allowing the user to browse through multiple alternatives is also a good idea.

What I meant to say was that such a rich interactivity should not be the default experience for simple and common cases. For simple and common cases, the technology should just work automatically without requiring much user interaction, thereby promoting usability and discoverability. However, you are absolutely right that for more sophisticated cases, instead of letting the user fall off the cliff, we should invest in a rich interactive experience where the AI can partner with the user to help complete more sophisticated tasks.

> "No they're not the same person, all entities are individuals"

So which one owes the bank the next mortgage payment? If they're not the same legal person then one of them doesn't. Twins have different names, different birth records, different memories, different legal and social identities. If the twins are honest people then they won't pretend to be each other and will self-separate to clear this up. Both Nautilus's, if they are honest people, will be adamant that they are Nautilus and try to use their genetic and biometric and memory records to prove it, neither will want to be the discarded one who must change their name - and neither will have any priority. At t=t0 they are, from the outside, two separate bodies who are the same person.

> "if each copy has their own mind, how can they simultaneously have your mind?"

If they are hardware identical, memories identical, who else's mind could they possibly have (at t=t0)? You copy OpenOffice onto two computers, they both simultaneously have OpenOffice. One doesn't have a different software just because future changes on one will not magically happen on the other. If brain and hardware and memories is not "what it means to be Nautilus", the what does? What else is there? The copy's internal experience will not be the experience of being a copy, it will be the experience of being nautilus with the same continuity of life experience that you have right now.

> "They're either separate entities, or they're not. If they are, the copy is a different person, and the Mars nautilius self is different from Earth nautilius self, running on the identically copied hardware. This position resolves all possible contradictions."

If they are identical in all ways at (t=t0), what specific difference are you pointing to when you say "different person"? And before you say "location", if I move location I don't become a different person. If they are identical then it shouldn't matter if you switch that sentence around and say the Martian is the real one and the Earth one is the "different person". Since you earlier said "you die, someone else goes on living on Mars and you have no knowledge of it" I think you wouldn't be as happy with that phrasing. The weirdness is that the viewpoint "I stay on Earth, a stranger appears on Mars" and "I arrive on Mars, who cares what happens on Earth" are both valid, both people experience actually being nautilus as validly as each other and neither has any better claim to the one true continuity of experience.

I'm not sure I agree with the sibling comment about what the evils are, exactly, but this is the very thing I'm addressing -- that it isn't a given that we're doing multiple things at the same time.

This is a great argument when we're talking about, for example, people working on making phones vs. people working on cancer research -- their efforts aren't interchangeable.

But political capital to examine policy failures? That's a limited precious resource that is all too often redirected towards frivolous, self-interested pursuits by people who are unwilling to examine their own.

China is an easy scapegoat here. You see it all over this thread. Many many americans talking about Chinese policy while their country pretended nothing was happening for months and likely facilitated the virus' travel throughout the US and the world as one of the main epicenters of travel.

American politicians (as well as others'), as well as the beaurocracies under their control, love nothing more than people looking at anyone but them when something goes wrong and they will take advantage of it.

Chilling effects in a nutshell.
I'm not a Rust programmer, but I can read and mostly understand the Rust code I've seen. This by comparison is incomprehensible to me. Your analogy to maths doesn't seem to hold up, because I am a mathematician, and still find this syntax unreadable. To me it is almost the definition of "visual noise", as it doesn't use words where maths would, and contains many extra redundant-seeming symbols maths would omit. I also really like Python's indentation syntax, so I have no objection to that in principle.

Take these three lines from the README example:

|?| ^door <= 100
^door_open[door - 1] !^door_open[door - 1]
^door += pass;

Without the docs I don't have any idea what this does. Even with the docs it makes very little sense to me. |?| seems to start a loop, but it doesn't seem to be in the documentation (the closest thing is |??| for "while"). ^ means mutability, but is needed in the first line for some reason even though no mutation is happening? (Or is mutation happening? <= doesn't seem to have changed meaning though.) But then ^ is not needed on the mutable "door" in the second line? What does the second line do? It's not assignment, according to the docs, because that is a very un-mathematical prefix thing (but everything else, including other assignments like +=, is infix?). It seems to be just two expressions next to each other, and the docs don't seem to say that's meaningful. Why does the third line have a ;, but not the second? Is the second line somehow part of a statement finished on the third (which isn't indented)? Is the second line a ?-less condition affecting the third?

I am not being sarcastic or trolling. I genuinely don't understand this. The assumptions I'm aware of making are (1) the documentation covers everything new in the new syntax, and (2) the example in the README is valid code in the new syntax.

Serious question: do you understand these "much more readable" three lines?
Pepsi logo might work
I think that when you split a task among multiple people, important context gets lost, and you run the risk of making a bad product. Everyone can do well individually, but taken as a whole, the work product falls short. Having a detailed understanding of the problem and solution space is crucial to making something good, and getting that understanding is expensive. Individual output in a very small area isn't a good metric for productivity, the results of that output are what's important.

For that reason, I think it's important for individuals to own things from idea to implementation to maintenance. You know how best to test your software. You know why you're getting paged for it breaking. You should handle that.

I think the loss of quality when splitting up projects among multiple teams (or even individuals) is why startups produce so much more than huge corporations. (My personal view is that output scales logarithmically with the number of people involved -- to do a project that's 4x more complicated than what one person could do alone, you'll need 2^4 = 16 people. Part of that is all the communication required to hand ideas over from product to engineering, hand software from engineering over to QA, hand maintenance over to SREs, etc. You can skip all that and do more with less.)
One unfortunate situation is that the word “geothermal” is overloaded for personal use. On one hand you have geothermal power, which is as you describe. On the other hand you have water source heat pumps which are often described as geothermal, but which are completely distinct from the form described in this article.

Water source heat pumps work everywhere, and they seek to use ground-water temperature anti-freeze in a closed loop as the output from a heat pump. So rather than having an AC dump heat outside (or cold for outside for reversible systems), heat is extracted from or dumped into the ground. Expensive to install ($30k seems a common mark), but very efficient and viable everywhere.

I think this is more an illustration and reminder that "conspiracy theory" was a term that was workshopped to dismiss criticism (about the JFK assassination investigations.) None of those were conspiracy theories, and were trivially verifiable shortly after they happened. They were just aggressively dismissed and ignored by anybody who had the authority to punish someone responsible. This goes on until everyone responsible is dead, or legal clocks have run down.
A lot of people? Sure.

Everybody? Not really, some people are really vocal about how "data wants to be free".
Stated as a single reason: I don't think it works.
Particularly, kTLS is a solution that fits here, on a single-box, but I wonder how things would look if the high-perf storage boxes sent video unencrypted and there was a second box that dealt only with the TLS. We'd have to know how many streams 400Gb/s represents though, and have a far more detailed picture of Netflix's TLS needs/usage patterns.
I’ve seen (and fixed) so many ugly messes at this point made as a result of mixing and wrapping tools with different purposes together like Ansible + Terraform that it’s something I strongly discourage. I recommend to keep the boundaries and responsibilities of the tools clear. In this case, Terraform for the creation of resources and Ansible for the configuration of those resources. In my opinion, this gives as a result a much simpler and maintainable ecosystem in the long run.

This.

I read NYT, WSJ, FoxNews. Sometimes HuffPo and Breitbart.

NYT leans left. WSJ leans right. Everyone else is closer to the extremes. I keep that in mind when I’m reading and will intuitively correct for their bias.
The problem is that other people are making vague claims, without actually substantiating them.

If someone makes vague claims like that, they deserve to be dismissed. It is on you to state your concerns clearly, not on other people to read between the lines.
Can you point out which HN users are doing both of these? Maybe they're Russian trolls.

Although we have sort of solved the issue of "which parent" through the uses of baby formula, refrigerated breast milk, and other workarounds, there is still something to be said for direct breastfeeding, which is generally done by the mother (or a wet nurse, but that's another, older workaround). It's not misogynistic to recognize biologically beneficial relationships between small children and their mothers.

What is the environmental impact of taking terrawatts of thermal energy and releasing it on the earths surface?

One might imagine that if we figure out how to build geothermal wells not just near geologically active sites, but anywhere on the earths surface, then suddenly thermal energy will become much cheaper, and projects like heating entire cities and farms become feasible. Cooling entire cities will likewise happen with air conditioners powered by these wells.

Overall, far more watts of energy will be transferred from deep under the earths crust to the bit of earth we live on... What will the side effects be?
This shouldn’t be a shock since people have been telling stories about capitalism pyramids, supply side economics, and trickle down forever.

The goal isn’t perfect mind control; it’s to keep us from creating a publicly owned distributed ledger.

That's the country that doesn't feed your narrative. Also, new Zealand.
At least from my view this is a shift towards actual engineering culture. You'd never see a civil engineer or most any other engineer operate under the "move fast and break things" philosophy.

Making prototypes and experimenting is one thing but something I consistently see with the "move fast and break things" philosophy is that production is your prototype. Sure things may go through testing first but at the end of the day features get pushed out to prod once they have an MVP and are iterated on and beta tested more or less live.

I'd love to see SWEs be more willing to sit down, make a prototype, and toss the entire thing away taking the lessons learned to build the real thing rather than trying to build the actual product off the bat or trying to send the prototype straight to production.

All this extra review and rigour is a good thing for anything going to production. The real problem is that we don't build our prototypes outside of production any more. Build your prototype on your own fast and loose but anything that actually gets near the master branch should be inspected and picked apart to the highest of standards.

> Both parents working all day and the kids getting a mediocre upbringing under the care of strangers

The only problem here is the ‘mediocre’ upbringing. My daughter is in a daycare where she is learning Spanish words/phrases in addition to English.

My daughter will be 2 in December and the daycare has her recognizing most letters, numbers, colors and shapes through dedicated practice. She uses tongs and spoons to practice picking up items and separating them by color or by number ‘grab 4 purple fuzz balls!’

These are teaching programs I would never have thought of at her age. I’d just point to fingers and toes and count to 10 or sing the ABC’s.

My daycare printed out paper with every letter and asks her to grab the letters of her name. Or she has an image with lower case letters on it and she asks my daughter to match the upper case letters out of a pile.

Long story short, raising kids newborn to 5 is a specialized skill just like teaching 5 to whatever, and society can benefit from having better educators for our children than what random adults turn out to be.

That was a very acceptable tradeoff for the makers of those products - I'm pretty sure they're rather print reasonable warnings than just have their products, which are indisputably health hazards, banned entirely.
