> we think it's one of the most effective and important ways to help creators reach more people

Points like these stand out to me. You can frame this (gestures at changes that involve showing new-to-you stuff) as a fail for users in some ways, particularly users who liked it back-when, but changes of this nature will always be a potential win for creators.

Whether the same changes may also be a win for consumers is up in the air to some degree, but it does tend to signify user interest if a creator is coming out on top.

The overall model still fits so it's not like some huge deviation--FB and Insta have always shown you, and done, and believed in, and persisted with, stuff you didn't ask for. There are two sides to that coin however. Back when it was more like an RSS feed there were really obvious discovery problems at all levels.
The capacity and speed curves of drives is quite different. When the first TB drives were released about 15 years ago, the fastest ones were about 100MB/s. Now you can get 20TB drives (20x capacity) and the fastest ones are about 300MB/s (3x speed). It is just far easier and cheaper to make a drive twice as big than it is to make it twice as fast.

SSDs are a different animal, but have some similar characteristics. Within the same generation (e.g. m.2 pcie gen 4), you can get drives that have a lot more capacity but have roughly the same access speeds (i.e. the 2TB version is very similar to the 1TB version). The speed increases between generations is much better than with HDD. Pcie gen 3 drives seemed to max out about 3500MB/s while the gen 4 drives are about double that. I have seen reports that gen 5 drives might double it again

With HAMR technology we might get HDD drives with capacities in the 50TB-100TB range. You can bet that the speed won't be 5x current technology even if they get dual-actuators in them. There will need to be some kind of breakthrough technology to improve it significantly.

This is why we need better data management systems. If the meta-data (e.g. file table) is only 1% of the data that is still a lot of data to read in and store in RAM. We need better systems where the file records are much smaller.

I don't really disagree, except I think there are a couple different types of fraud Stripe might be on the lookout for in these types of cases:

1. Customer of retailer buys something with stolen cc, retailer is none the wiser, although Stripe has sophisticated techniques that suggest it might be fraud. Probably looks like a very ordinary transaction. e.g. person filling up gas tank with stolen card.

2. Accomplice of retailer buys something with "stolen" cc, retailer in on it. Probably looks like unusual transaction. e.g. person buying 10 laptops, reselling for cash, waiting until retailer gets money from Stripe, does a chargeback, retailer disappears, they split all the cash.

If it's the first case, sure, tell the retailer. If it's the second (or it could be the second, which I think is what might be the case here), you probably maintain radio silence while you investigate.

Edit: also, by all the documentation the OP wants to provide, it sounds like they understand why it could look like the second. If it's the first they should understand there's nothing they can provide that would suggest it's not a stolen card - it has very little to do with them.
You will never be able to do so; campaign calls are exempt from FCC rulemaking not because the FCC is particularly warm to political campaigns (though maybe they are), but because the Constitution forbids them from restricting political speech in this manner.

Municipalities run into a similar problem with those awful circulars that pile up on your front stoop: ordinances to prohibit them have been struct down as unconstitutional. And that's not even political speech, generally!
It's romantic in a way to imagine that these sorts of people have deeper wisdom than we do, but I think it's better to say that we can't tell for sure from the outside if they're listening to music we can't hear or are just crazy. In practice there's almost certainly some of both.
It's not racist, but I would consider it an invalid assumption. You should ask what people have available from a tools and ingredients perspective. Take for instance everyone I know owns a wok, I have two.

A good portion of HN was also part of all those conversations, I know I was. Suggesting the zeitgeist of any of those fora was poopooing new technologies is ridiculous. The fact those fora were enabled by those technologies should tell you that your position is absurd.

You've created a strawman out of a fantasy cohort of technology enthusiasts ignorantly poopooing technologies. Because you can easily beat up your strawman you seem to have convinced yourself of your own superiority.

>Writing out an acronym one time in your paper/article/blog is not "constantly".

Exactly, and neither is it explaining.

I don't get what the big deal is, "fear of missing out (FOMO)" is just four words extra, once, and you don't need to write an essay on the etymology of the term or something. It just ensures we're all on the same page and when it's not clear to someone they can google it. Do people not know how many overlapping abbreviations there are? It's almost like the acronyms are shortening the words somehow to a smaller representation that is not necessarily unique.
>as they must be.

Not Bill Burr, rather George Carlin. But that theme is present in both comedians' work, to be sure.
There's a big difference between "freedom of speech" and "requirement to listen". You can speak all you like, but you cannot intrude upon others and force everyone to listen to you.

I'm not constitutionally required to let political campaigners onto my private property (my home), and I shouldn't be required to receive their text messages on my private property (my phone).
That's a solid analysis of the situation

I personally believe C++ will be the main language to target WASM (and maybe Rust/Zig, more chance for Zig since it can just use C/C++ libs out of the box, for Rust it'll be from scratch projects only), mostly because of the use cases (multimedia, games, AR, 3D)

Adobe for example, they have 0 benefits to rewrite their applications, so they'll end up reusing their stuff (C++), and that's what they are doing [1]

I don't think the traditional high level languages like Java/C# will be popular due to their heavy runtime and history

C# has a huge problem to overcome, size + number of files (.dll for some reasons, typical microsoft) one has to download, even if cached, you still have to pay the price, and overall it doesn't feel clean, nor efficient enough

Is that enough to avoid writing JS? maybe for some people, C# is a pretty nice language, but they'd better just transpile to JS instead [2]

Java? oracle has no benefits in porting Java to WASM, as mentioned by the author of this tweet, so it'll be a job for the community, they did something [3], it's promising

What's missing is Kotlin, they are working on their WASM compiler, i think they are a little bit too silent about it, i had lot of hope for Kotlin Native, but ended up being a disappointment, their LLVM based compiler is too slow (both compile speed and runtime perf), and their focus on JVM tooling is just painful to accept, it just is painfully slow and bloated

Well, this headline is a great summary of what these valuations mean: you are worth 3.2 billion on paper, but have only 0.05 billion. That's a 70x magnifying glass for your wealth. To be a millionaire on paper, register a corp, ask a friend to invest 15k for 3% of the company, and you're officially worth a million. You'll still need a second job, though - rent isn't free.

> Hey, remember back in 2009 or so when everyone was cheering that we were "out of" the Great Recession, but everyone not part of Wall Street was still bleeding?

I also remember the whole expansion preceding the Great Recession, during which the bottom three quintiles all did worse, the second-to-top was basically flat, and most of the gains were in a narrow segment at the top of the top quintile.

“Recession“ vs “expansion“ (multidimensional as it is) is still not, and not intended to be, the same as any individual person’s, or even the median person’s, experience of the economy.
Blame web developers. There's no money in making web pages simple enough to be delivered to the client as fully functional hypertext without running arbitrary code. All the money is in stalking users across the app, forcing them to watch ads and navigate paywalls, and denying service to any ad blocker they feel like "for their survival" (and also some other reasons).

If that's what is killing you every time, then get a blessed tinning kit and stop eating random corpses like that. Or at least wear an amulet of magical breathing while you eat.

Or if you want to be really fun, polymorph into a Xorn or whatever and eat a few amulets of magical breathing to gain it as an intrinsic.

https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Amulet_of_magical_breathing

Generally just go through your death list and find what is killing you then look at how to avoid that. Eating random corpses late game is pretty much always a mistake, you should have normal food to rely on in your bag of holding and a blessed tinning kit from the mines for intrinsic granting corpses.

Because the government's ability to regulate communications is at its absolute nadir when it concerns political speech regarding an upcoming election. Your best bet to press your case on this policy issue is to invent a time machine and plead your case to James Madison.

You can vote for the opposition if that makes you feel better, but know right now that the opposition, whatever it may be, for any major political office is doing exactly the same thing. Every significant political party has list-making and trading as one of its highest priority goals.

What is the current support level for `scale-out` clusters? I can find a thing or two about high availability [1] and a small set of transaction isolation levels [2], but I'm unable to find detailed information about locking mechanisms and cluster propagation.

Fraud happens. But on a scale of 1 to 10, crypto is an 11.

There is no more blatantly direct, obvious or audacious fraud than creating money from electrons and selling it. Even wooden nickels were made from something in order to kinda, sorta look like money.

Crypto is proof of just how stupid intelligent people can be.

> everyone I know uses "AWS" instead of "Amazon Web Services" and even pronounces it that way in conversation, so I don't bother explaining that one

Maybe that’s how this author’s bubble feels about FOMO.

I for one don’t think I’ve ever heard the full version of “FOMO” in conversation. Similarly to how everyone I know says “pee-arr” and may not even remember it’s short for something.
Storage price reductions slowing down or even coming to a halt makes me wonder what this means for "infinite storage" companies.

I'm talking services like Facebook, Youtube, that are "free" (ad supported) where on a daily basis an absurd amount of new content is added, yet almost nothing ever removed.

If storage needs grow endlessly yet storage costs stopped going down, wouldn't that mean that the model in the long term is unsustainable? Sure you can delay the inevitable (compress content, move old stuff to cold storage) but ultimately storage costs per user goes up whilst income likely does not.

That still does not give you any more control. Anyone can still change the project or fork it or do whatever, just they do not because only the engineers working on it are the ones who do get anything done.

Anyway, the way to fix that would be to donate more to the foundation or to individual developers. In most open source projects, the non-profit foundation is not usually the primary source of engineers because they make a tiny amount of money compared to what the big enterprises do. But it is not very likely you will ever escape that tug-of-war, because developing an entire OS is very expensive.

This is the exact same argument used all the time to justify censorship. Most people agree about government censorship being bad and corporate censorship being fine.

However, what people miss is that this is government censorship. To think what's going on now isn't government suppression is completely naive. There are several examples of the US government influencing social media to have them censor. They admit it all the time.

I can see where they are coming from. In the long term, the value for most crypto as a technology is it's way to decentralize ownership. But for the purpose of making an investment decision in cryptos right now, the vast majority of them really only derive their value from their usefulness in transactions.

Personally - I think that's a shortsighted and naive approach. The "party" is not your friend. Politics are not team sports, and they shouldn't be treated that way.
