Even on the enterprise level, all the open source companies such as Elastic Search or MongoDB don't make money on "open-source", but enterprise subscriptions, which would include support and some guarantees on the product, including stupid acceptance of your PR for fixing some bugs. And Amazon, Microsoft, Google use their open source to bring customers to cloud or sell some other products.

People don't like to pay for what is "free". Have you seen any street performance? The artists have to walk to every viewer and look them in the eye to ask for money, they have to keep some money in the hat in specific bills so people around kind of understand how much to pay, they have to keep their own viewers who definitely put money in the hat all the time, so others feel the pressure.

That is the reason why I personally don't want to run any open source projects. I just don't like to ask people. I would never want to ask anybody to contribute, I don't want to find a way to make it profitable. Not saying that it is bad, I just feel so much pressure for asking people to do something. To help, to support, to try to sell something to them.

I am running pretty much 2 companies with close source software. One is very successful, which pay my bills, another one is more like a moonlight project, that makes around $1k to $2k a month (currently contribute most of that to various foundations to support Ukraine). And for the last 5 years I got used to being ok for blame not to write any open source projects. I personally don't use much open source software myself. Not for the reasons I don't want to, just because I am ok to pay for quality. And I don't have time to review some libraries, when I can just write something in a day or two.

I don't sell my software, I publish on Reddit, and other channels about something I do, run promotions, but don't talk to customers to sell anything. All my software is easy to download and try, and purchase without talking to me. But if you are my customers, I would be happy to help you.
And twitter is like 50% of Internet and marketing. I do not want to be harashed by some weirdos. Just give me authoritative source for the most recent translation from 1980ties English.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro density. However, it seems like they are kind of like building new freeways, which rather than reduce traffic, simply induce more demand. By say taking Seattle and making it 4X dense...I doubt it would become much cheaper...instead it would just become more popular (still, I would love to live in a more dense Seattle, but I don't think I would save money by it).
Makes sense.

For those who don't know, the best farmland in Iowa can go for just over $20k, and as you say can grow more value than anything in Canada. Iowa should be the most valuable cropland in the world - great soil, good climate, great national economy, and relatively flat land. (there are places better in some of the above, but they are lacking in at least one significant way and so the value of their land should be less today.)
Plenty of those immigrants work in the housing industry building houses. Immigration is increasing both the supply and demand of housing.
> It's not like major cities don't exist except on the coasts

Canada is a lot smaller. There are only 2 major English speaking cities, a few smaller cities in the prairies (200k to ~1M ppl) which are still affordable, and some dying rural provinces on the East coast with horrible economies. It’s more like moving to Nebraska when California is unaffordable.

Most people in BC and Ontario have no affordable cities within a few hours drive of their home town. The affordable cities are over a thousand kilometres away. At that point, it’s easier for most people to try moving to a nearby state across the border.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and making a coherent and thoughtful reply.

> to the point where we react viscerally to even the suggestion that someone who doesn't share tribal value X can still be a good person.

I'm not arguing that anyone is a good person. The New Testament teaches that there are exactly zero good people apart from Jesus. It's not that I or other religious people are 'good'. However, Abrahamic faiths have enough in common that a shared government where the religious privileges of each group are protected is theoretically possible. I don't see that as a possibility with atheists, agnostics, or polytheistic. Most first world nations are operating under the idea that we can all get along but the reality is that we cannot because our worldviews are diametrically opposed in several areas.

> What defines good is our shared picture of empathy, consent, maximizing joy, minimizing suffering, reciprocity, etc. Basic golden rule stuff that's built into most of us and within reach of all of us.

First, I do not agree that this is built into most of us. That's one of the core tenets of Christianity (Orthodox Judaism as well...but I'm not as well versed there) and I think this is obvious. It seems you and I disagree here, but I think the evidence, especially looking back at various civilizations proves that mankind does not generally follow 'the golden rule'.

Second, most of the values you've listed are not our shared values but are simple utilitarianism.

I certainly do not regard 'consent' as a shared value. Consent is the framework that replaced the marital framework after the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Certainly, the idea of consent existed before that, but using it as a legal framework is a relatively modern development.

I also don't place value of minimizing suffering. People occasionally need to suffer. Using suffering reduction as a framework for moral action would lead to the destruction of the rich so that their wealth can be liquidated and redistributed in the form of food and housing. This is a 'for the greater good' type of thinking, and while I can see why someone might choose to subscribe to such an ideal, it certainly isn't part of how I define morality or good.

In summary: Abrahamic faiths have more in common with each other, despite their disagreements than they do with any primarily materialist position including atheism and utilitarianism.

Does she have installed locally? Of so she's got VBA, which is very powerful. Alternatively if she has the ability too see file extensions, then create a new text file and rename the extension to .vbs, edit that in notepad, and you can now write vbs scripts that can basically do anything. Google 'VBS sendkeys' for more info.

If you don't have file extensions turned on, you can use VBA inside office to create the vbs file for you, and then open it via notepad. A variant on this is .hta files, again Google these, most people don't know they exist so don't block them.

You can also create .CMD or .bat files for DOS scripting, .PS1 files for powershell, and .URL files to launch apps that may be hidden or blocked.

However, if they know what they are doing with the locked down Group Policies, all of this may be locked out. Theres many exploits you could try, that I've not gone into I've found in the past that typically something has been missed, and you can get what you need.

The solution may simply be that consumers should get used to consuming less. We all bemoan what has become of the modern internet (tracking/privacy violations, clickbait, the 'attention' economy, a never ending stream of low-effort, low-value content), but one of the single biggest contributors to this state is that it has built up around users getting addicted to consuming content for no monetary cost.

This probably extends outside the digital realm and applies to modern consumerism in general. If paying for the actual cost of consumption goods is unbearable, perhaps it's a sign we should be cutting back on how much of it we are consuming?

Are subprojects intended to eventually make it into the main spec or do they remain standalone? GC, threads, atomics, component-model, interface-types... Im not sure what to expect to eventually make it into this spec & what will continue developmemt semi-independently.

Personally https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model/pull/23 feels like it marks the start of webassembly's first full era. We need interoperation, webassembly needs to really be embeddable, & only then can we really understand & explore what webassembly means to the world.

(Rust got an early start with wasm-bindgen, doing all the lifting on their side, but it's not reasonable & only semi-interoperable having each language rebuild that bindgen system & abingor itself... hence canonical abi & component-model.)

Really excited for multiple table per module support! The idea of a capabilities based sort of system, where a module is handed a couple working sets of data as SharedArrayBuffers to work g communicate with, is quite compelling.
"the simple solution to that is to property tax the shit out of land in the exurbs and suburbs so that urban organization of housing is cheaper than suburban and rural, which is currently the opposite."

You can't really tax people money they don't have. Maybe it'd work in suburbs, but generally (at least in american cities) the more rural areas consist of

1. Farmland owners who likely contribute resources and get tax deductions anyway
2. mid-low income homeowners far from the city who's property cost as a whole pales in comparison to the cities. Either because of mass emmigration (which can be "White Flight" at worst, or simply dwindling resources/income at best in an evolving world) or simply happening to own/inherit land before costs went out of control.

There's not much to squeeze out of these people to begin with. And not exactly any alternative land to offer them that wouldn't be to their massive benefit (Again, this land isn't exactly valuable to begin with, comparatively speaking). Housing struggles to keep up as is and can't really afford this altruistic effort to try and consolidate everyone into a densely packed area.
A lot depends on the type of queries. You could have tables the size of the entire internet and every disk drive ever made, and they'd still be reasonably fast for queries that just look up a single value by an indexed key.

The trick is to have the right indexes (which includes the interior structures of the storage data structure) so that queries jump quickly to the relevant data and ignore the rest. Like opening a book at the right page because the page number is known. Sometimes a close guess is good enough.

In addition, small indexes and tree interior nodes should stay hot in RAM between queries.

When the indexes are too large to fit in RAM, those get queried from storage as well, and at a low level it's analogous to the system finding the right page in an "index book", using an "index index" to get that page number. As many levels deep as you need. The number of levels is generally small.

For example, the following is something I worked on recently. It's a custom database (written by me) not Postgres, so the performance is higher but the table scaling principles are similar. The thing has 200GB tables at the moment, and when it's warmed up, querying a single value takes just one 4k read from disk, a single large sector, because the tree index fits comfortably in RAM.

It runs at approximately 1.1 million random-access queries/second from a single SSD on my machine, which is just a $110/month x86 server. The CPU has to work quite hard to keep up because the data is compressed, albeit with special query-friendly compression.

If there was very little RAM so nothing could be kept in it, the speed would drop by a factor of about 5, to 0.2 million queries/second. That shows you don't need a lot of RAM, it just helps.

Keeping the RAM and increasing table size to roughly 10TB the speed would drop by half to 0.5 million queries/second. In principle, with the same storage algorithms a table size of roughly 1000TB (1PB) would drop it to 0.3 million queries/second, and roughly 50,000TB (50PB) would drop it to 0.2 million. (But of course those sizes won't fit on a single SSD. A real system of that size would have more parallel components, and could have higher query performance.) You can grow to very large tables without much slowdown.
I work in Japan, and this is so hard for non-native speakers. An example, an HR staffer meant to say "female empowerment" but said "woman-power" instead.

You're quoting one small section of one referenced study in meta-study and leaving out the conclusion of this section that more serious studies are needed to determine the relationship between sodium intake and heart rate (not morbidity due to heart disease, just heart rate).

> Given the discrepancy in results, more studies in this area are required to investigate the relationship between dietary sodium intake and heart rate.

You're cherry picking one small part from a section not really related to the topic at hand and also ignoring the conclusion the study authors draw.

The sentence literally before the one you quote is

> Studies that demonstrated the effects of dietary sodium on heart rate have shown conflicting results.

And then you cherrypick the one example that agrees with your point while ignoring the examples that refute your point.

If you want to say the science is still unsettled, sure. But to pretend that it is settled in the way you want and quote one sentence out of context in a meta-study who's entire point is that the debate is not settled? Come on.

Cassandra can do it since it has cell level timestamps, so you can mirror online writes and clone existing data to the new database, and there's no danger of newer mutations being overwritten by the bulk restored data.

Doing an active no-downtime database migration basically involves having a coherent row-level merge policy (assuming you AT LEAST have a per-row last updated column), or other tricks. Or maybe you temporarily write cell-level timestamps and then drop it later.

Or if you have data that expires on a window, you just do double-writes for that period and then switch over.
Depends on what you mean by "all Ubiquiti devices". My Unifi APs, switches, and EdgeRouter don't need to phone home and the controller can be run (intermittently if desired) on your laptop or a VM. My parents have an all-Ubiquiti network and the only time they have a controller in their house is when I come visit and do an upgrade.

My network has an always-on Ubuntu VM hosting the controller, but it's not needed for normal operation here either. (It is needed for things like guest portal pages and some network stats tracking.)

I just tested my local admin login and it still works. (Now, can I guarantee that nothing has even called-home and told Ubiquiti about that? Of course not.)

Cameras are a different ballgame; Ubiquiti cameras are much more tied to their software and hardware (and thus I don't have any).
According to [1], the g4dn.xlarge (a single nVidia GPU instance) appears to have the lowest on-demand price/hr: $0.526. The Tensorbook starts at $3,499 [2] -- that's approx. 6,652 continuous compute hours (~277 days or ~39 weeks or ~76% of a year). Let's round this up to a full year of productive research. I think local hardware may actually be cheaper in the long run for _moderate_ problems, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is not just that it is an attractive place to park wealth as far as ROI. It is attractive period because you can park your wealth in an obscured way in a place more fair than where you live.

If you have a lot of money in places like China and Russia or if you have money from graft, it could all be taken away quickly. So these people are very willing to buy something real in a "safer" country, even if it has a negative ROI.

This is not the only problem with housing in general, but it is a contributing factor that does not provide value for people that are looking to actually live somewhere.

I think you're speaking past each other. The comment mentioned no access to shower facilities at all. Go search Youtube for tiny apartments in Japan or Tokyo and you'll quickly find rooms for rent where bathrooms and personal or communal showers simply don't exist, residents must walk to nearby businesses or public facilities like libraries during business hours just to relieve themselves. This is not a desirable housing situation either.

I think a dormitory or barracks style housing is perfectly acceptable as a solution but putting the burden of supplying bathrooms on private businesses or implicitly requiring people shit in buckets in their one and only room is not.
