> preference the products, services, or lines of business of the covered platform operator over those of another business user on the covered platform in a manner that would materially harm competition

I really like this when you think about the problem that it's trying to solve (Amazon ranking Amazon products at the top, or Google showing Google Flights above all other services). But in practice, how in the world is this enforceable/provable? Let's say you Google "flights from tucson to denver". If it shows Google Flights in the search results at all, whether it's above Expedia, or Yakak, or United, or something no one would use for that flight like Emirates, couldn't you argue in court that it's "preferencing the product of the covered platform"? How do you explain the output of a blackbox ML model? Even if you can exactly prove why a result was ordered the way it was, how do you prove that it's preferencing it? Doesn't any ordering according to the likelihood that a user will engage with the service have a chance of "harming competition"?
An important question:

Could I have thought of something at that time, with all the same constraints and without the benefit of hindsight, that would have been better?

For the vast -- and I mean vast -- majority of us, the answer to that question is a resounding No!.

Okay, but the Bill Gates Pregnant Man NFTs have value beyond their monetary worth.
One of those "technically true, the best kind" things. Raised north of the wall in Edinburgh, I was very aware how Northumberland was similar to my landscape and mentality of the locals. They have bagpipes. the TH in thumber leads to asking if its a T and Humber and it does refer to the river Humber, its the land north of the humber. It makes you think how Yorkshire leads there. Certainly the Jacobites didn't pause long at Hadrians wall heading south, the last time England was invaded at scale (They got as far south as Derbyshire)

North of Hadrians Wall is sometimes treated as more Scottish than not. South is the other way round.

So not a border, but instead perhaps, a boundary which encompasses Scotland more than not?

The Border Reivers crossed the Tweed, the badlands north of Hadrians wall were part and parcel of a cross-border community which made its own laws, and in turn led to laws against them.

The border was .. mutable. Hadrian's wall was not the border.
Java is largely based on Objective-C, not on C++. It's a bit hard to tell because they removed messaging though.

It's certainly felt the last few years, since I discovered the hack, the universe had put me on a mission to make executables portable.

I can't imagine the rate of mutation is higher for these colonies than, eg. those that are in your own gastro-intestinal tract. The difference is with the lab colonies they don't have the same selection pressure as bacteria in the wild. So my naive understanding is that they would actually be less fit in most environments outside the lab. For example, how fast they grow - the mutated growth strategy is probably optimised to the lab conditions and could result in an unviable lineage outside of the lab.

Even accounting for the generation of dangerous (to humans) mutations, the benefits gained from our increased understanding of bacterial lineages and genetics almost certainly outweighs the danger.

>Thirty years and 75,000 generations — it’s a drop in the evolutionary bucket. So I would guess that if we could come back — in one million years or whatever, the bacteria probably would have extremely reduced genomes. That’s a reason to keep it going.

You have read a lot into what I have written that simply isn't there. It's not a good look to clam up and play the victim when called out on your presumptuous and contradictory statements, including your assuming the economic background of someone based on a short dialogue. Remember just one post ago you found it completely valid to retort about how I "haven't actually been poor like that" and how you have.

Please take a look at your interaction with me and reflect on it, and think to yourself about how you can be less presumptuous.

Ok, I'll bite.

The privatized internet has failed us...compared to what?

There's two prime examples of a publicly owned internet in the world today. One is run by the CCP and is sardonically known as the Great Firewall of China. The other is the state-run intranet of North Korea.

Do we really think that these are desirable alternatives to a privately run and distributed internet where unfortunately some people say and do crazy things, and some internet providers happen to have geographical monopolies that really have nothing to do with the internet in the first place but local protectionism?

Come on.
Why does the cost have to be competitive? Price it at a level that covers all costs. If the price is uncompetitive, 99% of users will not take it, however, that 1% that _really_ need to continue using Brex (for whatever tail reason) can continue to until they're ready to migrate.

If it is output of some other tool, then it is a build artifact and there is no need to check it in.

I have this argument with people all the time and the conclusion is always like: "it is too hard to integrate the generator with the build system so we check them in".

The big problem with generated files is merge conflicts. How do you resolve a merge conflict on generated files. especially if they are binary.

Fish handles this very ably as well, of course! If you're a developer and you work in or deploy to a lot of environments where you can't install software, choosing what comes with the environment makes sense. But even when it comes to scripting, you won't regret sticking with Fish, imo.
The first credit union I belonged to, my balance was rarely four digits, more commonly 2-3. The branch assistant manager was absolutely amazing. She'd do me all sorts of favors, like insta-clearing parts of checks I was cashing.

But this is not the only thing you observe. You can see many more things about those new products than simply the amount of time they have been around.

You can see Notion come out, and go "wow, I find this good and I think it will keep being around and good for a while". Like the GP said, the fact that it is young doesn't mean it is doomed, or even that it is not good. The Lindy effect says nothing in that direction.

This is very true. Self help books feed a mania for advice, and manage to imply the knowledge is pearls of wisdom when the truly wise are not reading or writing these books, or responding to the "how" question.

I don't count myself amongst the wise btw. But I am at times surprised by how age masks foolishness, and people ask me for advice which I wouldn't trust!

Richard Rhodes discusses the scientists at Los Alamos, confounding the more urbane partners: Fermi insisted on leading square dances at the saturday socials, despite not having danced the square in his life: he just spent some time beforehand watching how it was done. Apparently he did it perfectly. I consider that evidence of wisdom beyond words: He watched, he learned, he didn't ask. A scientists wife called Claus Fuchs "penny in the slot" because he said nothing, unless asked. He didn't volunteer. When you consider his role in history, maybe he was well schooled? A natural spy? Again, he didn't proffer advice, but he was very good at what he did
(as were the Krogers, and many others. Whereas the amateurs recruited in the US were by and large bumbling fools)

I suspect spying-wisdom, like other wisdom, is not found in self-help books.
I learned how to be a better programmer being yelled at in German by an OpenBSD developer about Codequalität.

I'm super glad some academics are doing it the easy way with this one.
I always upload my binaries to VirusTotal and always have. Like what? Writing assembly? Using the RDTSC instruction? Having a run-length decoder to make lookup tables smaller? I must be a stone cold black hat hacker. Anyone who monitors the behavior of these programs can see they're fully transparent, don't interact with the system weirdly, and they don't have any telemetry. The truth is some virus scanner person wrote an overly broad regex somewhere that's raising false positives due to a completely random occurrence. It might not happen as much to people who use MSVC since it always generates binaries the exact same way. But does that mean we should accept an MSVC monopoly? Because MSVC is the kind of compiler that's been known to insert telemetry into your programs when it wraps main(). Why don't virus scanners complain about that? All I'm trying to do is innovate in this space and create a better alternative. There shouldn't be these kinds of roadblocks to competition. In fact APE doesn't even compete. It's designed to be a complementary format that bridges gaps between communities and helps reduce pain for developers.

Are you not able to host your service on a server?

You could use some cheap cloud servers from DigitalOcean or Hetzner and it would cost you something like $5 to $10 (depending on the resources you need).

You might spend a bit of time initially just to set up everything but technically it woulf be easy to set up.

For password protection, you can probably do some basic http auth.
One nice thing about X25519 in particular is that if your math operations are constant time (not always a given in bignum libraries...), then the easiest implementation (a montgomery ladder) does happen to be constant time. This was the reason for choosing a Montgomery curve for Curve25519 instead of the more usual Weierstrass curve form.

The ladder procedure is spelled out in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7748, though you'll also need to provide your own constant-time conditional variable swap (they give the xor swap trick as an example).
Many of my peers had middle-class parents working normal jobs who just loved unconditionally + put effort forward... the difference between them and those who had less than ideal upbringings is typically vast.

I think it's definitely a starting handicap, no doubt about it. But I'd be very wary in telling those people - if any are reading this - that they're just not going to be successful.

Without getting too touchy feely - I definitely had un-supportive, unstable, conditionally-loving parents. Was it a setback? Yes. Would I be financially ahead of where I am now had they been better? Probably. But you know what, I'm doing alright. Maybe not by HN silicon valley standards well ahead of the curve in my little first world country. Never lost ambition even if I stumbled a lot along the way.

So yeah if you're younger, and reading this, and a bad childhood is still messing with your mind - please don't think all hope is lost. It will be harder but not impossible.

Governments can barely manage a website, so we may want to exercise some collective discernment before giving them the whole internet to manage.

You're not alone. Maybe it's lack of knowledge on my part... but too much around node / npm, still seems like copy/pasting random incontations into the command line to try and solve whatever problem I have at a specific time. There is lot's of good in there, but somethings just don't work how you think they will.

For instance, we've been building a totally static site recently in node/npm/js/posthtml and posthtml has a concept of "local variables". A project called posthtml-expressions in theory allows you to put "expressions" into "HTML" modules (if's, loops, etc.), but it only works with "globally" defined variables. i.e. you can't define a variable locally to a component, you need to define it "globally" in the project, which IMO defeats the whole purpose of the project. Nowhere is this easily explained or defined in their documentation. The first thing I want to do is define a property/attribute inline to a component, otherwise I end up with word soup of global variables - $page_1_title, $page_2_title, etc., rather than <component title="xxx">. Bizarre. No idea what the point is if I can't declare variables "locally" to said component? And this is the feeling I've got of lots of NPM packages - there is just no cohesion between things. I love the work people have done, it's literally saved me hundreds of man hours, but I've also spent untold hours wrestling with things that seem obvious to me, that should work, which frankly just don't work how I expect. Maybe it's me?
The thing that ticks me off with microservices is that things are already IO bound, and we decide to add more IO to the system!

> On the infrastructural side, Tarnoff shows a clear preference for the community-owned networks that have been proliferating across the United States, even as they’ve faced opposition from the telecom oligopoly. These networks tend to deliver better service at lower cost, while prioritizing community needs over those of major corporations’ shareholders.

>

> Meanwhile, on the services side, Tarnoff takes aim at the “bigness” incentivized by the need to produce returns for the difficulties they create for self-governance and the negative social interactions they promote. Instead, he presents a model of a “protocolized” social media with a proliferation of small communities that can interact with one another and where public funding is available for media.

The article says nothing about a state-owned restricted internet. The CCP doesn't even "own" the internet in China. Don't Red Scare like this, all it serves is to muddy the waters.
>Nobody is forcing you to pay at gunpoint, you are free to leave at any time and no longer pay.

OK so if a robber comes to my house and says pay up or leave, then that's not a forceful action at gunpoint?

>you are free to leave at any time and no longer pay.

That's not how it works -- allow me to inform you of tax law in the US. US Citizens are responsible for filing, and possibly paying taxes on income earned ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. The US, and I believe Eritrea, are the only two nation's I'm aware of in the world like that. Now you could renounce citizenship, but even then that wouldn't satisfy your condition of "no longer pay" because you even have to pay over $2000 just to renounce citizenship, and that has to be done outside of the US. The US has been known to engage in "extraordinary rendition" which is to say they target/extract citizens even out of countries when there is no legal mechanism for them to do so.

In short your claim here is incredibly innacurate.

>Paying taxes is no different than mortgage or rent

When I pay rent/mortgage it's for my own use of property in a private contract, in a voluntary exchange. Tax is an involuntary transaction. A very different thing.

>, if you want your own soil fight for your own sovereign territory and keep it through force without any help, good luck.

You start off saying nobody is forcing this at gunpoint but then you go on to challenge me to "keep it through force." You're starting to look like a violent person. It's really comical how quickly the façade drops of persons such as yourself who turn out to be persons of great violence who are quick to challenge others to engage in such activity.
How did Windows train you not to use drag and drop? It's never not worked. Same with OSX. Yet Linux you have to live without it, asking questions on reddit or discord/irc results in 'use the command line to move the file'... which is a bit absurd.
Civil well drilling projects generally use water well drilling rigs. When drilling wells, it is necessary to ensure smooth drainage of the construction site, so it is not suitable for drilling wells in the rainy season. When working while excavating, determine the excavation slope according to the physical and mechanical properties of the soil layer, generally 1:1.5, and leave a certain distance from the spoil slope foot to the top of the excavation. The water inlet and filter layer of the well wall should be arranged according to the design requirements, and the water inlet should be prevented from being blocked during construction. According to the requirements of filling the filter material in the aquifer, the soil must be super high when backfilling, and the frozen soil in the backfilling soil in winter should not exceed 15% of the total soil volume.
Python programs often need to use a lot of optimized C and C++ libraries to get anywhere near reasonable performance. I would be shocked if a webserver written in Python was only 10x slower than one written in C (or Go or Rust for that matter).

(not OP, but I have a similar shortcut)

Mostly because I am familiar with Python and I don't want to learn the syntax for the advanced expressions I will seldom use. c() s() etc instead of cos() sin() is not too bad, but if I have to do a specific rounding/truncation/modulo, I probably know how to do it in Python and I definitely don't know how to do it in bc syntax.

Of course a similar shortcut can be defined for your language of choice, if that's JavaScript/Ruby/R/... then you probably want to use that.
Bit of a weird mix of complaining about the results of last-mile shenanigans (hey, let's get municipal broadband banned!) and how centralized services like Facebook and Twitter have managed to out-compete most alternatives.
