I've been using Linode since the mid 2000s when Chris Aker, the owner and CEO, provided support on IRC ( OFTC: caker) and the company only had two or three staff.

Great to see how he built Linode organically to the scale it has reached. In the context of venture capital and Y-combinator its a good contrasting story on how successful a bootstrapped, patiently built, profitable sustainable business can become when the focus is on excellent (and personal) customer service.
I probably wouldn't mind it if were the lingua franca in computing.
My rough estimate puts that at $300 in expense, to have it permanently hosted:

$1/mo at 4% drawdown yearly is $300.

So yeah, for $500 I’ll figure out a perpetual trust for your minimalistic static, low traffic website.
The Free Beacon reported that a source told them the crack kits could specifically include pipes, and the story went viral

https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-admin-to-f...

Snopes labeled the reporting with a big red X and MOSTLY FALSE rating . . . while confirming the Free Beacon reporting as entirely true. Here’s how they explained it:

> In 2022, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services substance abuse harm reduction grant did require recipients to provide safer smoking kits to existing drug users. In distributing grants, priority would be given to applicants serving historically underserved communities. However what’s false is this was just one of around 20 components of the grant program and far from its most prominent or important one.

Snopes claims that the news about smoking kits is true. It’s just not important.

Or here’s Facebook’s “Partly False” Fact Check (https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2022/02/fact-check-biden-...) that also confirms the Free Beacon reporting:

> While a description of the HHS grants stated that the grantees would be required to buy materials like safe smoking kits and supplies to "enhance harm reduction efforts," such kits and supplies are just a few of the many materials that grantees can utilize.

This happens all the time.

There's no "bite" - it's just a genuine question.

Thank you for providing literally the first response with a concrete example.

I shall have a read - its late here and I have to bed down shortly.

Certainly a poor peer review system is an issue that should be addressed.

Also rather worrying is the unethical nature of submitting bogus research, not getting informed consent from those being experimented on and the lack of a control group.

Is this the best example you have?

The article seems to be trying to make a case that the explanation is simple (vaccination and universal healthcare), but I think in doing so, it dances too close to just saying what people want to hear.

As someone who's gone back and forth between the US and Canada, it was clear to me that there's a stark contrast in numerous aspects of pandemic handling between the two countries. Canada travel policies imposed quarantines since very early in the pandemic vs virtually non-existent restrictions on the US side until fairly late in the game. And while the US was mostly ok with telling people to mask up to go to stores (and in some places, barely even that), Canada effectively shut down in-store shopping for a large number of product categories for extended periods of time. Even casual outdoor gatherings (e.g. casual soccer games in a public park) were scrutinized by police in Canada; whereas basically nothing of the sort happened in the US.

And it's also worth noting that policy compliance is much easier in Canada. The Greater Toronto Area alone accounts for 15% of the entire Canadian population, and this is a largely metropolitan-city-dwelling more-or-less-progressive segment of the population. There are only a handful of such hubs in Canada, and most canadians live in one of them.

Yes, universal healthcare does mean that the population largely doesn't distrust the medical establishment and I think the vaccination stats speak for themselves, but clearly there are a whole slew of other factors that can contribute to the discrepancy.
This is so true.

I used to work in executive training and have worked with many CEOs of large orgs - to get to the top, for the most part, you have to be incredibly empathetic.

You also have to be incredibly outcome-oriented. You need to prioritize a range of objectives against a mountain of constraints. Sometimes that means deprioritizing parts of a product or company mission to further the longterm success of the business, using the information you have. If they didn’t, then they wouldn’t be doing their job. Sometimes that also means deprioritizing people. This is why every leader will always be able to be portrayed as a sociopath.

The actual sociopaths are one or two levels beneath - those that are jockeying for good standing by pushing themselves up and others down. They rarely make it to the top and if they do, aren’t there for long.

In my experience, those who do not see this tend to hold different levels of either empathy or outcome-orientation.
I am pretty convinced that if Wordle added features that required talking to a server, it would make the overall experience worse, not better. It's easy to take for granted that you never see a loading spinner when playing the game, and that's largely because everything happens client-side.

To me, the real takeaway from the success of Wordle is that a lot of features that one might think are important, actually aren't in practice.
> I am legitimately not convinced he was attempting a coup

I believe you. No one thinks their guy is the bad guy, it's human nature.

> I believe Trump legitimately thought the election was stolen

Again, this is your blind spot. You give a man who deserves no benefit of doubt infinite rope.

But you are deluding yourself. You are to the right of your own party leadership on this matter: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/593339-mcconnell-breaks-...

You don't refute any of the points, you merely state your opinion over and over "I don't think Trump meant to do anything wrong". Of course, intention cannot be known by anyone, so arguing in favor of what is unknowable brings this whole discussion to a standstill.

Also, people still go to jail for crimes even if they aren't intended (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter). So I don't particularly care if Trump meant to organize a violent attack on the nation's capital at the exact time and place the certification was taking place, he still did it.

One that annoys me a lot is the video controls overlay auto hide timer. I'm never sure if the app hasn't one, or if I'm about to hit back at the wrong time and stop the video when I just try to hide the overlay. If you put a timer, always add a visual indicator too (reverse progress bar in a corner for example).
I think to be a successful CEO or founder you have to be able to distinguish business and personal relationships and actions. This is exceptionally hard to do, especially if you are a subordinate.

> photons are massless, but they can undergo interactions

Not by themselves. They have to bump into other particles to interact. Photons in motion do not experience time and can not 'change flavour' or whatever without bumping into something else.

Photon decay is not an observed phenomenon and can only happen if a photon has a non zero mass.
Quote from Chris Aker's Linode blog post [0]:

"For the immediate future, we will continue to operate as we always have. Akamai has no intention of changing what has made us successful. This acquisition will propel us both forward — not take anything away. Linode will soon be able to call on the power of Akamai to offer entirely new products, services, expertise, locations, and scale, while Akamai will be able to tap into Linode’s deep expertise in compute, storage, and on-demand infrastructure-as-a-service.

Today, we start a new chapter in Linode’s story — one that strengthens our position in a market increasingly looking for alternatives. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.

Thank you — our customers, partners, and community — for supporting and empowering us to make cloud computing simple, affordable, and accessible."

> I think in 2012 the tech community's sentiment was actually that Bitcoin was really cool and definitely useful

I don't think there was ever really a consensus on this. Lots of people (myself included, but also quite a few friends) always thought Bitcoin was just kinda useless. It's just that in 2012 there were comparatively low stakes (i.e. no massive energy use, not yet massive amounts of people pouring money in it, no massive amounts of "crypto snakeoil") that it just wasn't worth commenting on.
There really aren't many alternatives out there after cron. Maybe lambda jobs count? What are you thinking of as alternatives?
But that's wrong. Those high prices come from high prices set by the manufacturer. (Side note - why is there a "g" in "manufacturer"?)

Other parties are still free to mark up their goods for resale. But drugs they bought for cheap get sold for (less) cheap, and drugs they bought at a high price get sold at a high(er) price. When you see an eye-popping price, that's because the manufacturer charged an eye-popping price.
You have a section in Andi Search which lets you try and set it as the default (in Firefox at least) but it doesn't work. Is that what you mean, or am I doing something wrong/weird?

BTW I really like what you're doing, and I'll definitely like to set it as default in Firefox somehow if I could just to try it out. My first tests were surprisingly good, I didn't expect it to deliver results which are accurate and which appear to at least match DDG. Nice one. [slightly unusual page format on desktop though :)]
Thanks for sharing regarding Prolexic. That does give me some hope.

If Akamai helps polish up some of the rough edges (there aren't very many for the record) that would be great. I've been eagerly anticipating managed databases for a little while, as well as bare metal and some other things. Would be neat if those things happen a little faster now that they have bigger capital behind them.
Basically YouTube is ONLY going to GET WORSE.
I actually don't think Apple could build a good search engine. They believe in privacy, and will be compared to engines that track you everywhere.

Or, it might be possible. But their constraints will make it far harder to build even a comparable search.
I did some tech consulting and dev work for them around the peak of the craze. I never met Ty personally, but was in their office multiple times. One Christmas (98?) everyone got a bonus of their salary, IIRC. The money was just... pouring in at that point. I'm sure it's died down since then, but the stories were... nuts.
This is a meaningless thing to compare. DO has a market cap of $6B and Cloudflare is $37B. This discrepancy is because Cloudflare has insane potential for growth (54% YoY) vs a done and dusted business model of Digital Ocean.
Where are you gonna go if you leave Linode? Do you know yet?

Digital Ocean is the most similar, but after getting burned hard by them I will never put myself in that vulnerable position again.

I've been pretty happy with OVH thus far, but at least last time I checked the US presence was minimal and that's important to my customers.
Wrote something similar before:
"The writing has been on the wall for some time:
1. Grading system changed from 1-5 to 1-2 (thumbs up/down). They thought that the users where full of crap when rating. I do believe some bosses just looked "bad" when buying in the next Adam Sandler movie. This started a cozy culture where no one in Netflix was wrong. Recommendation engine becomes comically bad, even with the best and the brightest.
2. They started to buy everything under the sun. South park made an episode about it even. All the comedians got their own stand up specials. It was now way easier to get a top score (thumbs up). Bosses where happy.
3. As they no longer focuses on quality which they no longer can measure (measuring time watched and churn is not that useful!), they start to strive for quantity. Which is expensive, very expensive.
I guess that in the next decade Netflix will become the next Comcast and cost 35 USD per month, and it all started in an innocent change to the grading system."

Can't you justify anything that way? You called easily say that the rendering engine, JavaScript engine, etc should all be split up into programs that do that well.

If you are thoughtful enough to write this comment I think you you should be thoughtful enough to avoid downvoting if you believe it is wrong.

I agree with you, by the way. I've been above the downvote threshold for a long time and I don't think I've ever downvoted a comment because there is nothing I hate worse than having a comment downvoted with no explanation as to what it was the downvoter disagreed with.

I said nothing about Antifa - why are you creating a straw man? Stick to woke.

The Ultimate 1541 talk is also great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1jXExwse08

The 1541 maintained compatibility with the VIC. The VIC had very slow firmware routines to communicate with its 1540 disk drive because a shift register in the 6522 VIA chip didn't work properly.

The C64 had an improved VIA with a working shift register. The 1541 attached to a C64 was going to be much faster than the 1540 and the VIC. A board rework in the 1541, however, removed a trace needed for the high-speed operation, so the 1541 and a C64 ended up being no faster than a 1540 and a VIC (and actually slower because the VIC-II in the C64 needed to take control of the bus periodically introducing jitter in the communications).
Whether or not housing prices are in a "bubble" in the sense that the prices are going to correct and drop at some point, they're not a bubble in the Beanie Baby sense of seeing 10000% price appreciation in the span of a few years. Nobody's 4-bed condo is selling for $500 million. There needs to be some acknowledgement of the gap between probably mispriced and tulipmania. Conversely, if prices correct, they're still going to be back where they were in another decade because houses have actual value. You're never going to see a bag full of 150 4-bedroom condos being thrown away on an episode of hoarders because the owner can't even sell them for a few bucks each. There's a difference between "price is going to drop a bit for a while" and "will totally collapse and be worth marginally close to zero dollars for the rest of time."
I suspect the big problem is that even if your search engine succeeds, once you get enough traction you'll just sell up to Google and everything slots back to normal 'do some evil' mode.

Very interested to see if there is development in the WebRTC streaming ingest world. As far as I remember, the last major implementation was Mixer’s FTL (which has an open-source SDK implemented in OBS, but the server side was proprietary - though it has been reverse-engineered).

Also interested in comparisons between WebRTC and SRT, in particular for low-latency high-quality streaming (the niche between traditional streaming like RTMP and more conventional WebRTC apps where latency trumps quality).
We can do both. And we shouldn't ignore the 100yo polluters because they can make people more aware that the exact same irresponsible waste disposal that happened 100yo is still happening today under the guise of "clean industry".

Also - I'd challenge the fact that people don't care about 100yo pollution if you've ever talked to someone living in the neighborhood of a superfund site.
