To forestall that reply: I did think about it before hitting the reply button. I've seen a couple of large scale DC power outages in my 35 years of IT work. The vast majority of the hardware came through just fine. But older data centers with gear that has been running uninterrupted for many years tend to have at least some hardware that simply won't come up again, due to a variety of reasons. One can be that the on-board batteries have gone bad, which nobody noticed until the power cycle. Another is that some harddrives function well as long as they keep spinning but that has worn a nasty little spot on the bearing that keeps the spindle aloft. When it spins down, depending on the orientation it may not be able to start back up again, it may even crash while spinning down. Powercycle enough gear that has been running for years and you will most likely lose at least some small fraction of it. You could do it the next day after taking care of those and everything would likely be fine.
Java is way more expressive and better designed than golang. So no, golang is not Java with less memory. It's also possible to deploy Java as a single JAR file.
>Would you agree that people can steal from Amazon for the same reason? Your logic seems arbitrary.

How is blocking ads/tracking "stealing"?

Assuming I don't have a contract with someone, I haven't agreed to allow ads/tracking. And given the chance to enter into such a contract, I will politely decline.

Claiming that blocking ads/tracking is stealing is like claiming that people should have to pay to enter a retail establishment even if they don't buy anything. Is that what you advocate?

Don't want to service people who block ads/trackers? Then don't serve them content. It's not as if that isn't already being done.

Just because someone chooses to support their platform with ads/trackers doesn't create a duty or responsibility for me to see those ads or allow those trackers.

I don't wish to allow ads/trackers on my private property. Why should I be forced to do so?

Because it breaks your business model? That's not my problem. It's yours.
One other - more subtle - point is that nothing is easy and nothing is obvious. There are people in the world to whom "you need to make eye contact when you talk to someone" is a new idea.

> That’s completely incorrect, as this privilege is given out on a “friends of the company” basis

Of course the privileged few get to break the rules, that doesn't refute my point.

> Moreover, as insiders have indicated, Cambridge Analytica had exactly that sort of privileged relationship with Facebook

https://www.businessinsider.com/cambridge-analytica-a-guide-...

Maybe they had a privileged relationship with facebook but they got the data from a personality quiz app which requested access to user data (which the users granted).

> I know a ton about that as I was involved in that area about 10 years before you.

Good for you but don't you think that's beside the point?

> The idea that buying art is anything BUT supporting an artist is pretty funny.

Traditionally people bought art to possess it, look at it, and display it for others.

> Buying art was always meant to just let the artist do his thing!

No, that's kinda what patronage was all about. We have crowd sourced versions of that.

> Selling digital art before NFTs was a complete pain! Before them you had to go with an agency or gallery, they took a cut, they had to like your stuff.

That wasn't necessary though, you could sell art all sorts of ways. You could even just set up your own online store if you wanted. All NFTs seem to have done is take advantage of the hype-chasing and speculation crowds.

> there is an honest revolution in digital art happening right now

You've lost me here. Literally nothing about what you're describing requires NFTs other than convincing people to pay money for the NFTs by tangentially tying them to art. It is enabling artists to hack human psychology for money, not enabling brand new kinds of art.
It's quite disturbing that spreading hate is considered an acceptable core mission for a religious institution with tens of millions of members.

> If you don't support desegregation, you are in favor of segregation.

If I don't support vapes as a tool for quitting smoking, that doesn't mean I support smoking. There's more than two options. Nicotine gum, patches, hypnotherapy, cold turkey, etc.

You're getting caught up in the idea that not supporting "forcibly de-segregating school in the 1960s" is the same as supporting racial separation. "Desegregation" in this context isn't the idea of racial separation, it's a specific event where schools were racially unified over a period of a few years - but also probably caused a significant blowback (white flight) that some believe did more harm to black communities than good.

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where from 1967 to 1977 the schools remained segregated, but black schools were funded as well or better than white schools (emphasizing the equal in "separate but equal"), at which point they were desegregated - but not forcibly and abruptly. The desegregation happened organically over the next 10-20 years. Would we be better off? Have more racial harmony, or less? Would we have prevented white flight, or just delayed it? I don't think exploring these possibilities is racist, illiberal, segregationist, or unproductive. Especially as we search for solutions to the racism that is apparent in america today (unsolvable? maybe... I hope not).

> If it caused you downtime or a partial outage, it means you are not fully resilient to single az failures.

Given the number of AWS global services that have dependencies on infra in US-EAST-1 (and, from the impacts of this and other past outages, seen vulnerable to single-AZ failures in US-EAST-1) that's...less avoidable for certain regions/AZs than one might naively expect. Most clouds seem to have at least some degree of this kind of vulnerability.
Why does it even have a panel that allows you to game on the front side of the car? You're not supposed to take your hands of the wheel or your eyes of the road.

I fully understand selling "gaming inside the car" as a feature that you can have on the backside of the car, so that children can be entertained during long trips, but this is ridiculous and dangerous. Even if we argue that it's for the passager seat, it's still distracting for the driver.

Not piling on AWS. These things happen and I’m sure everyone involved is working to improve things. Yes, everyone should deploy in multiple availability zones.

My 2 cents. Outages happen. Network glitches happen. Bad configs and bad updates happen. However, power issues should not really happen. One of the primary cost saving areas of going to the cloud is not having to do on-prem power, such as UPS, generators, maintenance etc. Not having to do on-prem cooling is another thing. These should be solved from the customer’s perspective when going into a professional data center and are the things you don’t want to worry about anymore.

I too only have anecdotes from myself and friends/colleagues, but a few experiences stand out:

* The accountability culture really matters. Are teams responsible for their own commitments/deadlines? If you think you might get fired, or at least a lower performance review for taking vacation (because you shipped less while out) then you are less likely to take vacation. Of course the problem here isn't the PTO policy, but unlimited PTO in a company like this is worse than a defined amount of time.

* Are senior leaders work-a-holics? If so, that might breed a culture where, even these same leaders always say the right things about everyone needing to recharge and take advantage, the ambitions see those above them, and ape the behavior of working more. This trickles down, though it might be inconsistent across the company.

* As time has gone on with these being more common, some strategies have emerged to take advantage of them more effectively. Such as being more aggressive with 3 day weekends, or flex schedules, or remote work, or vacation hybrids (like going abroad for a 6 weeks and working every other week). Taking a bunch of multi-week vacations may or may not work in your company, but figuring out the broader category of "flex work" seems to be getting a ton of experiment.
Why does it have to be a binary property?

Yes, I buy many domains and I don't expect them to be taken away from me. But I like the idea of having alternative ENS names (yes, ENS domains are NFTs) as some kind of hedge against the occasional top-level domain crisis, or in the odd chance that my domain registrar fucks up/gets hacked or even as some kind of back-up plan for the case where registrars decide to collude and increase prices.

Same thing for banking/finance. Yes, SEPA works well in Europe and in 99% of the cases I am okay using my credit card. It doesn't negate the case where I'd like to pay someone where the only alternative is Paypal and with it its crazy fees, odd cancellations, poor customer support, etc.

For merchants, the same. Not long ago OnlyFans almost destroyed its own business because it wanted to kill its adult content side. The reason? Mastercard. Should we be telling all the sex workers and adult entertainers that we should be better at "building trust", or should we be able to say "crypto payments can be an alternative and do not depend on the interests of some powerful group with the right connections"?
The thousands of stolen artworks from DeviantArt being turned into NFTs beg to differ.

English has more complicated verbs and tenses than many other languages, and this confusion probably comes from the fact that this conjugation doesn’t exist in your native language. This is one of those edge cases that is very difficult to explain, and I’m no expert.

Things like forgetting and winning would seem to be instantaneous things that don’t ever happen “now” only in the past or future.

“I forget” means something like “I have forgotten at some point and continue to not remember” whereas “I forgot” means “I did forget” without reporting anything on your current state of remembering

“I forget” could also mean “forgetting is a thing i often do and expect to continue to do”

It’s a problem, I agree, but because the “authenticity information” can be expressed somewhat succinctly (it’s just a smart contract address), the trust element can be decentralized. Artist might post it on their Twitter, Instagram and website — if they all agree, and you as a buyer trust that the author is actually managing their Instagram, Twitter and website — then there might be enough to create real world - digital world trust bridge. This is particularly easy if an artist is working primarily online and their digital identity already is the main contributor to their fame.

I'm going to have to disagree with that.

I am going to have to strongly disagree with that. If that were true nobody would ever have wanted to do theming, which was a big deal before developers forgot how to make software flexible enough to support it.

> JS is only easy at the most superficial level and gets to be a mess once you go beyond small apps.

Oh, you mean like BASIC? A language designed specifically to be easy to learn? Lots of applications were made in BASIC because it was easy to get into and people just kinda dealt with the mess. Visual Basic especially has a reputation. Sound familiar?
e.g. that's why famous nft artists either have their ENS name in their Twitter bio or as their name. With that, you know that e.g. if shaq.eth minted an NFT, it's indeed the real shaq o'neal as otherwise the imposter shaq.eth registrar would have had to have the access to the real shaq o'neal's Twitter account.

Primary energy consumption isn't a great metric for comparing with renewable electricity, since for conventional plants it includes the unused energy lost as heat.

A fossil power plant wastes ~60% of the energy, a nuclear plant ~75%, a small petrol engine ~75%. Once you take this into account, the stats look a little better.

Having simultaneous mutable references to an object is UB in Rust because the memory manager cannot detect use-after-free errors. What you are talking about is not a feature but a limitation of Rust's borrow checker. But when using a gc multiple multiple references it not a problem at all so there is no reason to prevent it. This has almost nothing to do with performance. Restricting the number of mutable references to one does not mean that the compiler can emit significantly faster code.
In the JavaScript world this would be called a transpiler. Instead of compiling a newer version of JS into an older one this compiles Ruby in a totally different language, C++. However the Ruby interpreter (MRI) is written in C so C++ is less far away from it than, let's say, Java. I didn't check the code but I wonder if they inlined some code from MRI.
NFTs are trusting a single authority, which is the consensus of all of the nodes/miners of the blockchain. Sure, if you go to opensea and try to find the owner of a NFT, they could lie and become an accomplice in a double-spend scheme; but in general you could also download and watch the entire transaction chain and search through it locally (with trusted and auditable OSS) to verify ownership and transfers.

To phrase what my sibling commentor said but in a different way:

This paper is an experiment to see if a particular API could make using Rust easier. This specific API is not sound. This means that the paper's results are kind of irrelevant in a strict sense; this API cannot work in Rust, so it being easier is kind of a moot point. Maybe someone can take their API, make it sound, and then try again, and that's certainly good. But it is a serious flaw in the methodology.

Specifically, this API call is unsound:

GcRefCell<T>::as_mut(&self) -> &mut T

It's not about the internals of the GC. It's about the API that it exposes to users.

The author has some ideas: https://github.com/mcoblenz/Bronze/issues/2#issuecomment-939... These ones are straightforward, and would probably work, but they would also introduce some friction, and removing friction is the entire point of the exercise. Is it too much? Maybe! It also maybe isn't. You'd need another study to figure that out.

The consequences are that I am forced to share information I'd prefer not to share.

If there's a requirement that I do so, I will choose not to use resources that require it. But it's not my responsibility, nor is it feasible, to for me to choose, before I am aware of such a requirement, not to connect to a resource.
