> I see a lot of "viral" posts - some like those mentioned in the article, but also a ton of odd woodworking, cooking, and "resin art" videos. The videos are quite repetitive and not really interesting so I wonder if they are maybe hidden ads, but they are not marked as such, and it is not clear what they are selling.

As someone who got caught up in some of those videos when I was in complete "mindlessly browse facebook" mode, my guess would be they are optimized for "engagement", nothing more, nothing less. They are just interesting enough that you want to know how the end result looks while harmless enough to appeal to a maximally broad audience.

That was my first assumption as well. I'd seen it used (and used it myself) in usenet posts and email where the message was short enough to fit in the subject line, so you'd just append "[nt]" or something similar to end to note or confirm that there was nothing to read in the body.
The "reduced latencies" really reduces down to performance, where tps was a first order proxy for performance.

The ease of maintenance, similarly, is sold as easier due to reduced node count, which is perhaps an extension of performance but probably misunderstands (or ignores) that most people running large cassandra clusters have tooling that parallelizes most maintenance anyway, so the reduction in effort is sorta not that important in real life (if anything, having more machines gives you better blast radius behavior, consolidation onto fewer exposes you to larger percentages of loss/failure when there's inevitably a problem with the fewer, larger machines).

The real comparison, though, is missing in that link, because the real comparison is not performance. It's license. Nobody is running AGPL in prod unless they have zero IP worth protecting, so it's ultimately comparing OSS to proprietary.

(And similar disclosure: cassandra committer)

Most ‘long’ Covid cases aren’t that long. It’s entirely common for people to still feel symptoms 8-12 weeks after a respiratory infection; by most studies that’s ‘long’ Covid.

What gets reported however are the extreme outliers, people who are reporting Chronic Fatigue-type symptoms 6+ months later. Some of these people genuinely have a delayed immune response, while others were probably psychosomatic cases (turns out having to live with the fear of a deadly virus does a number on people’s mental state if they actually do get sick). But either way, these cases are likely a minority of what’s included in the ‘long Covid’ umbrella.

It’s irresponsible reporting, and I’m not sure if it happens through ignorance (scary news is fun to talk about) or an ulterior motive (if we can convince our readers that they’ll likely to have long-term effects from getting Covid maybe they’ll mask up and vaccinate). Either way, it’s proof that even ‘mainstream’ media often can’t be trusted to report the facts.
Looks like the miner returned significant portion back.

Here is the block, showing a reward of 7678ETH: https://etherscan.io/block/13307440

From that 7676ETH was the fee by Bitfinex (see OP).

And here (around 10 hours later) is a transaction from the miner giving back 7385ETH to Bitfinex: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x85294effd53126b3bfa9e7f655267e00ac...

Wonder if they talked or just decided to do this as a show of good will. Either way, still kept around $800k so not a bad deal.
EDIT: Cloudflare already made a game demo on Workers... multiplayer Doom: https://blog.cloudflare.com/doom-multiplayer-workers/ that was written using WASM + WebSockets, porting over an open-source Doom and shimming in a UDP-over-Websockets networking layer. Despite all that, it's still fast enough for a first person shooter.

Original post:
Have you looked into using a serverless pub/sub model, like Cloudflare's Workers KV? The example they give is a simple IRC-like distributed chatroom (https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-chat-demo), but theoretically it may work for games too.

Player state can be stored in a decentralized key-value store that Cloudflare manages (Cloudflare Durable Objects). They absorb all the DDoS and handle replication between edge nodes. You don't see any of that. https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/using-dur...

Then each game client uses a worker to access that KV on a subscription basis, and Cloudflare will route that worker to its nearest edge node and retrieve the state from there (which was previously replicated a moment ago, internal to Cloudflare's infrastructure). Changes to state are replicated across the edge network and pushed to client workers.

https://workers.cloudflare.com/

I don't know if this would result in acceptable latency, but it could help with DDOS at least. The main benefit is that it's incredibly affordable, especially when you're only talking about thousands of players.

Same logic applies though. If you're a contractor and it costs too much because gas is expensive, you either don't do it or demand more money. Or maybe only people with low-emissions vehicles get into it.
I'm disputing the logical conclusion from the facts at hand that no real problem is solved, not providing a value judgment about DeFi.

It's not an extraordinary claim but common knowledge in the start-up investment land that when you see an ugly, flawed product get an unexplained amount of engagement, you become interested.

Goldman doesn't have much of an interest here; they'll surely keep their money away from this company, but without the deal going through, their damages are minimal (in fact, it might even saved them by showing how bad of an investment this would've been for them).

Google, on the other hand, had one of their higher-ups impersonated to lie about platform statistics. I don't think they'll let this slide, if only to prevent other people from doing the same.

Can you describe how these two statements can be rationalized into a cohesive position?
You have to understand where Von Nuemann came from to see why he wanted to initiate a first strike prior to the USSR developing nuclear weapons.

He lost lots of family and friends due to the nazis. He saw his people get slaughtered due to a nation with crazy ideology being technically superior. He never wanted to be put in that situation again and worked on the Manhattan project because he believed in the USA.

He viewed the USSR as another threat just like the nazis. For many it seemed like a guarantee that war would happen. Many also claimed that early attack could save lives.

I’m not here to claim what he felt was right, but given the environment and conditions he lived through, I don’t pretend that I wouldn’t hold similar views given the circumstances.
The key difference (which is categorical) is that if there is a latent bug in one of these contracts that goes unnoticed and then gets exploited later, you're still out the money. Intent doesn't matter.

There is essentially a 0% chance of such an outcome with a regular contract (at least in US contract law). Intent is a cornerstone of contracts in the real world. Just because someone came up with a clever "exploit" doesn't entitle them to rip you off. This is a very good thing.

Not only that, but Cisco has acquired so many Chinese companies that they are practically Chinese at this point. Working in one of their US government cloud environments, we were constantly talking internally about the odd changes coming from their China-based employees but superiors didn't seem to care.

You would have to be far, far more specific in what areas they are "light-years ahead". Huawei are nothing approaching light-years ahead in the areas this programs is targeting, they're just cheaper.

I just recently emailed the ACLU to cancel my donation, and a week later got an email back confirming the cancellation no problem.

One important thing to note is that in traditional finance if the money gets sent to person B, because person B hacked my e-mail, there is an enforcement mechanism to get the money back.

However, this is not as true for crypto. If I steal 5M from your account and put it into mine then you can't get the money back if I don't give up the key. And, while the state will personally arrest you, they are going to be a lot less likely/able to recoup any crypto.

I think OP could have used a more specific description for the sake of clarity.

The idea is that using a reMarkable is just like using a pad of paper, so you can make arbitrary handwritten notes on the text. It's hard to imagine how arbitrary notes like that would be displayed on different epub renderings, so I think it's understandable why they use their approach. I also think it's a different problem than kindles have solved.
The firewall would need to be able to handle all the DDoS traffic as well, since your current idea would still pass the game server's IP back to a client. This is doable if you're hosting on a cloud provider and let their firewalls filter the traffic before hitting the game server.

Embark Studios recently open sourced (in alpha) a UDP proxy[1] designed for games that lets you implement a load balancing layer. This allows you to remove servers in the load balancing layer in the event that it comes under attack, allowing the game server to stay up and only having to disconnect a portion of players connected to the attacked loadbalancer. Having a proxy layer is also how Steam protects game servers using the Steam Datagram Relay[2].

There's nothing to fight in court, in USA it's completely legal to fire someone for their political beliefs in the "at will employment" states. The argument against similar actions during Red Scare and Moral Majority is not that they were illegal but that now in hindsight we see that they were wrong, despite fitting the governing moral/political desires of the time, so similar acts should be avoided in future and perhaps even restricted, in which case there would appear a way to fight this in court.

Absolutely not, because you could measure a substantial decrease in mobility before any region instituted a lockdown.

You can support working-from-home and furloughing without forcing it. And that's enough.

Last autumn in Sweden, cases started rising, still no lockdown, and people voluntarily decreased their mobility. Everyone I talked to decreased their social activity, skipped out on things, stayed home more. Without being told to. Without being ordered around. It's enough.

Why is ddos still possible? It is possible for isp’s to stop this. There is a proposal for isp level blocking if spoofed source addresses.

I’d give anything just to get a few basic merge modes. For example “this file can treat two one line additions as unordered”.

So any shared append-only file (a change log, an enumeration,…) doesn’t automatically conflict.

Syntax aware diffing would be great too, but I’d take something much simpler. For syntax aware stuff I’d love something that could tell semantic changes from noise.

Cheap gas over the past 10-15 years has driven divestment from coal as much as a push for renewables.

As for EVs: they require a tiny fraction of the maintenance of ICE cars and so they will eventually be far cheaper. Used EVs are already an incredible deal in many areas. Where I live you can get a used Leaf with 60-80 miles range (enough for daily commute) that requires basically zero maintenance for <$8000. Charge it at home or at work and the fuel cost is tiny too.
The main problem with hospital capacity was ICU beds though, not all the trappings around the bodies in those beds. People didn’t get put in those beds just due to a positive test. Fundamental issue was that our system isn’t built to handle the sort of excess load a disease that leaves someone in an ICU bed for weeks causes. If covid killed who it killed quickly it wouldn’t have been nearly as much of an issue.

I'm also not creative. Two (unoriginal) ideas:

1. Do cross disciplinary things, a lot of creativity is really just porting common knowledge to another domain

2. Be contrarian. Assume everything you hear is wrong, unless you can connect it back to first principles you understand. You'll often end up being correct, and discovering some insight that the crowd hasn't come upon yet (the downside of this is people will think of you as a heretic)
I don't think most folks would have a problem with Google doing it the same way - it makes sense that l you'd want to know what search results were clicked on.

The problem is Google has implemented the tracking in such a way that it's hostile to users, preventing them from copying the target link. There are various ways that Google could allow copying the link whole also enabling tracking if it's explicitly clicked, but Google chose an anti-user option because it almost guarantees people click the link.
That was actually kind of scary to read.
Institutions are happy to provide arbitrage on tether -> any other crypto since they can redeem. Sure there's an extra step involved, but there's essentially no difference between selling to an institution for $1 of crypto and redeeming for $1.
It's best to never get a credit card. The deals they give you are usually great, but they don't offset how much you pay in interest. If you need to get a credit card don't get one from a store, the terms are usually significantly worse than going straight to the credit card company.

I'll readily agree that we often argue about principles when it's our own content or people involved, and I see hypocrisy on both the left and the right.

But I have to give it to libertarians when it comes to consistent application of principles, even and especially when the specifics of a situation make them unpopular among the left or right. Conservatives find offense in the libertarian position on drug policy and media censorship of sex and violence. Leftists find offense in the libertarian position on economic policy, welfare, and immigration. Both sides find things to be offended about in their views on foreign policy. You know you're doing something right when you offend both ends of the political spectrum at the same time.

Remarkable 1 was pretty similar to the 2 in that respect (most of the wins of the 2 are unrelated.)

I don't really agree with the previous poster. Drawing on a Remarkable really feels much better than alternatives (similar to a Wacom tablet, which imo is pretty unique), no matter which kind of screen protector you put on it.

I've only tried an Ipad Pro once, but it really wasn't close.

There's also the battery that's nice. I only need to charge this thing once in a blue moon (more often than a Kindle, but still). Because of WFH I haven't used it as much (I prefer typing my notes if I can be at my desk. I use my tablet on the go), and using it only a few minutes here and there the battery's at 60% after several months.
