These extensions aren’t solely intended for “greedy CDN corporations”.

Anyone who has set up multi-site load balancers knows that telcos aggregating DNS via just a couple of egress IP addresses makes load balancing too coarse. Similarly, session stickyness may not work.

These extensions largely fix this issue.

Having said all this, anycast routing is arguably superior for solving this problem, but nonetheless it’s a real problem that needs some solution.
"At the long term those will be gone, probably replaced by batteries (or just fed with synfuel)"

AFAIK, that is a huge leap of faith, nevermind the overbuild requirements to supply it.

Do you have any actual data/estimates to back up that theory?

Bonus points for including the energy required to supply transportation needs, and energy growth estimates over say the next couple decades.

Because, I've read a crapton of literature on this stuff (and I have a family connection to the TX energy system) and I simply can't see how any of this is going to actually work if 1: The costs don't balloon over carbon sources, 2: The grid maintains a reasonable level of reliability, 3: we can maintain the rare earth mines/production/etc needed to get us even to 100% over the next couple decades without accounting for demand growth.

AFAIK: The only workable solution for providing a couple TW's of power realistically in the next decade is Nukes, everything else depends on some "breakthrough" that hasn't happened yet.

Edit: If you take hydro out of the picture, the current status of wind/solar is really poor, and its only going to get worse when you have to build 6-8x as many wind turbines or 3-4x as many solar farms just to provide enough average energy to meet todays demands, and with that will come cost multiplication as well. Its easy to build 30% renewable, but every overbuild multiplier is just going to multiply the cost. Then you have to figure out how to store it.

edit: edit: Here look at this: https://css.umich.edu/publications/factsheets/energy/us-ener...

That is a projection of where the US will be in 30 years, and nothing really suggests to me that they are wrong. The only thing I think that will change that is a 1970's French like pivot which clears the red tape, and has an explicit goal of building the ~150 reactors in the US needs to remove most of that carbon. And then start handing it out like candy to other countries because we have standardized the design enough, and built enough of them to return it to 1960's levels of cost (aka cheaper than natural gas).

My actual bet at this point is the Chinese do it, and replace the US as a worldwide leader in energy production.

or we have too few homes because we should continue to import more people to grow our population, or we have too many homes because we should close our borders and shrink our population, or we have exactly the right number because that's how many the market dictated being created, or we have way too many because construction emits CO2, and so we should stop building buildings to save the planet, or...

...the notion that there is an objective number of dwellings that should exist is silly.
I think Reddit also kind of replaced it. Back then, Reddit was more of a social bookmarking site like del.ic.ious but with expanded community features. You would go to the front page, and see a pretty similar selection of links to what you would get smashing the Stumble button that day, only it's been curated and sorted by the community through the karma system. Each link also came with a very well designed comment section where users could discuss it.
Just this past week I was watching the two-part Deep Space 9 episode Past Tense[1][2]. It's a time-travel episode set in San Francisco from 1 September – 3 September, 2024. Current events and fictional history in collision.

In this case "on a budget" means $4,329. That's reasonable if it speeds up billable work, but sadly the cost puts it a bit out of reach for my home office.

Correct. Also note that IP address are counted as PII, so even sending an IP address (as required by any TCP/IP request) to a US-located or US-controlled server is illegal without getting consent beforehand.
Doing it to fiction seems ok. Doing it to news, that is a whole different story.
Sure, I hear you but not all cases of divorcees end up well for the children. When both parents end up fullfilled post marriage and manage to move over the financial hurdles the kids are better off with separated/divorced but happy parents, however that’s not always the case. And nowadays a divorce can severely handicap one of the parents in a financial way so not divorcing has quite a lot of incentive. Of course being miserable in the marriage just for the sake of the kids probably doesn’t end up too well either, ideally the best outcome is to move on with life.

Maybe I should have clarified, I don’t act on the vast majority of things in this manner, especially when I don’t know the person or the circumstances.

I don't mean to be rude, but your list of questions is a perfect example of why this type of test would be meaningless.

* What is a data base
- Are you asking what type of military base stores data? Or did you mean database?

* What is personal identifiable identification and why does it matter?
- Do you mean PII (personally identifiable information)? Or are you talking about a driver's license?

* What does a walled garden mean
- Are you talking about what is in my back yard? What is around a castle? Or Apple's App Store?
“center” is still not right leaning. The Economist is most definitely not right leaning.

I was communicating, reacting, to the disparaging terms you frame religion. I have faith in God, you do not. My faith is reasonable and intelligent. Your views are reasonable and intelligent. Faith is what separates us. Not magical thinking, grifters or illiterate shepherds.
TBH, not sure if spending $3500 on 40TB storage v.s. ~$800 with rotating disks at the same storage capacity. You can put $200 on top with a 2TB NVMe SSD as cache.

The reason to question this is that 40TB seems small if you want to have a NAS for small video editing studios. And for personal use, you probably not going to need more than 2TB work set paged in at any given moment.

If you are not fully on-board with the latest current tenets of wokeism (keeping up with this is itself a full-time job), and the cancel culture it creates (remember, the slightest slight is cause for you to get cancelled!), then you should avoid ever even considering working for any FAANG (or many other large) "tech" (really advertising) companies.

You WILL comply with the group-think, or you will be eliminated. Independent thought or differences of opinion are simply not permitted. They pay well, but that's what it takes to make people put up with the miserably hostile work environments they create (rah-rah "we're such a great place to work!" programs only go so far....)

Hedging his bets.

He doesn't believe there is a "hard problem" as described by others and dismisses that as shorthand for there being something mysterious we don't get. In a chat with Sam Harris the two argue that one out in depth.

I have heard him make the analogy to the Unifying Theory of Physics and admitting that even after all his work there could potentially be some aspect that could have weird quantum qualities, or is bound to dimensions of reality outside of perceivable 3d+t.

And while he doesn't agree with Douglas Hoffman as to there being conscience agents outside of space/time, he is fully in agreement with reality as perceived and currently observable being a whole cloth construction with our senses serving to adjust our individual construct.

Sure, because they could get the information they want without having to wade through the mountains of crap you’re pumping out of the septic tank into your users faces. You’re optimising the wrong metric you fucking clown.

Tommy doesn't optimize Instagram metrics. Instagram does.

Tommy doesn't have users. Instagram does.

Tommy doesn't pump "mountains of crap out of the septic tank into" users faces. Instagram does. Tommy pumps out whatever content he wants to the people who follow him.

It's clear from the quote that OP thinks Tommy works at Instagram and is criticizing what he think is an Instagram employee.

It's not even apologia for Instagram, it's just Tommy's statement of belief that Instagram won't be negatively impacting users' time spent with these changes. There's no value statement at all from Tommy.

It's not even a "ridiculous idea". It's just that Tommy thinks these changes will increase users' time spent on Instagram. You're just imputing mountains of additional context into what he says.
Pay-walled, so only got the summary... but even "emissions" isn't a simple calculation... do you include the electricity generation you get your power from? What about emissions on what went into something you buy? The mining, processing, shipping, refining, manufacturing and distribution of the final product, and many component hierarchies in play?

Depending on how you look at something, getting an electric car is a horrible thing to do. Even then, is that better or worse than charging it at night from a coal power plant?

The problem is, there is not simple solution, as pollution in general is not a simple problem. Reducing direct emissions is part of it... but shifting from fossil fuels with a high energy, low energy cost, to then use batteries, with their own environmental impact on material construction, refinement and recycle/destruction... and then getting that power (charging at night) from electricity that comes from a coal power plant with worse energy cost than the original material you were burning anyway... is it really a net positive?

That doesn't even count a corporation's indirect influence... are the bulk of the workers driving an hour each way each day? Where does the energy at play come from.

I'm a strong proponent of nuclear power in the near term... and getting water distribution to combine multiple sources of electricity and natural resources for hydrogen as a primary fuel source for ground vehicles.

I think a lot of the woke efforts in and of themselves are short sighted, and not very well thought out at all though.
A few years ago it seemed that every cpu architecture was going to get hardware transactional memory acceleration. SPARC had it, POWER had it, even Intel added it. A transactional memory proposal for C++ made it into a Technical Report, it got implemented in GCC and it seemed to be ready to be merged into the standard.

Then I'm not sure what happened, things seem to have run out of steam, Intel never managed to make its HTM to work well and it unofficially deprecated it and generally TM went out of fashion. The TR is still there and gets minor updates, but I haven't heard about any push to merge it.
Average inflation rates over multiple lifetimes largely irrelevant. 24+% inflation for 2 years in 1863 was a huge issue. Short term deflation is often much worse than inflation. Averaging both to zero is wildly misleading.

The vast devaluation of silver after the discovery of the new world was a massive issue in Europe even if it averages out to nothing over time.

You should negotiate the best salary you can. What you shouldn't do is refuse to work for a company that's offering a better package than your current company out of some kind of principle because that company is also offering even better packages to employees somewhere else. Which is what you seemed to be advocating.

It's not clear that he supports it. It's clear that he thinks users will spend more time on Instagram.

Tommy's say on Instagram's product choices is probably about equivalent to my say which is to say no say.
Before her book was released, when Dr. Birx was going along with the natural origin story that was being pushed by the government, did you go around calling that "pure speculation?"

Dr. Fauci has recently been saying in interviews that the only masks that work are N95/KN95. When he was pushing cloth masks, did you go around calling that "pure speculation?"

Dr. Fauci has said, under oath, that when he was saying the vaccines would stop the spread he was just expressing a hope that would be the case. Dr. Birx says in her book she knew it would not stop the spread. When they were saying it would stop the spread, did you go around calling that "pure speculation?"

It's a very common misunderstanding (which is happily spread by US cloud providers) that it matters where the data is stored.

What matters is that the data is stored by - and accessible to - a company which submits to the US laws.
It looks just like Thailand, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Brazil etc. It’s not post apocalyptic, that’s what a lower standard of living looks like. It’s also deceptive. I would say Mumbai is an amazing place to live in, but it wouldn’t be for someone from the first world that looks for very specific metrics of standard. It’s chaotic but it gets the fundamentals right. It’s safe, it’s an economic powerhouse and you can find literally anything you would in the first world.

Look I am using Oreos as a general example but even gas prices do the same.

Input costs may rise by x cents but the companies mark up prices by 5x because they can, not because they have a shortage.

Gas prices are way higher than they should be but it’s not all the reasons the oil companies like to point to. They simply point to supply to distract from price gouging. The house is even trying to get the government to investigate that.

Taking contrived narrow minded interpretations of comments and glaringly ignore rather apparent facts and then alluding that the original comment is “nonsensical” and “illiterate” makes your comment seem that it lacks substance and just wants to resort to debate using insults rather than actual facts and context.

At this speed I’m thinking you’re probably going to bottleneck on the network/switch.

Ubiquiti have a cheap fiber optic switch you could try. You could also try a 2x 10G SFP+ configuration, which would give you 20 Gbps (but only 10Gbps per client).
I followed people building things on twitter and started interacting with their posts, I posted a lot about programming stuff and just did the whole build in public thing.

My applause to CNIL on the action.

I don't understand the "almost." The title is editorialized -- as commented elsewhere. There is no almost. It is illegal the way they act and store data. That nobody is going to come and place you on handcuffs doesn't make something legal...

Mainly though this is old news -- https://iapp.org/news/a/cnil-is-latest-authority-to-rule-goo... -- CNIL and the Austrian one did so in the beginning of the year.

I would add a February 2022 tag on the post.

I hope the whole EU agency pool does the same and start applying fines and every tooth they can.
I assumed from the title this would be Lacan or such. I think GPT-3 would be incredibly successful at emulating postmodernist logorrhea.

I think it's because over 40% of EU business use the cloud[1] and 70% of those use AWS, Azure, or GCS.[2] Enforcing the law consistently would devastate tons of EU businesses as you would suddenly eliminate all of their tech infrastructure overnight with no real alternatives.

> So now Meta stock has lost half its value. The best performers will be looking at the door. An effort to weed out low performers is going to make things incredibly toxic. It won't weed out bottom performers. It'll weed out those who are the worst at politics because that's what employee calibration is.

Just FYI this is not a uniquely Meta problem or even a Big Tech problem. This is going to hit almost every tech company. Stocks are down across the board, and Meta stock losing half its value is just business as usual in this economy. Best performers will look at the door to... end up at another company shedding its stock value for the same. Layoffs and cuts always create lots of FUD and while they're generally based around performance, politics is omnipresent and will always result in unjustified winners and unneeded losers.
I'm not sure Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas with a tree. At least in Russia the tree is mounted for New Year celebration and it lasts till Orthodox Christmas for granted.

If you can’t be bothered to sign up for a free account, it’s unlikely you’ll do the (sometimes nontrivial) amount of research required to prove your case if you get in an edit war with another author.

You could equally well say “I find obvious errors in textbooks / lecture videos / journal articles / paper encyclopedias / ... all the time but it’s too hard to contact the author so I don’t do anything about it”.

The main difference is that in Wikipedia you can do something about it with some extra effort. So it’s actually a much better situation than most kinds of resources.

The pages that are “locked” are usually locked because they are spam magnets. Not allowing IP edits is unfortunate (and does discourage simple corrections to articles), but in the highest traffic parts of the site the work saved from not having to revert dozens of low-effort vandal posts is (at least arguably) worth the downside.

> overruled by partisan

You wouldn’t believe the amount of abject nonsense and spam that gets cleaned up by those “partisans”. But Wikipedia is an open project, the “partisans” here are just other (slightly more experienced) volunteers not in any way fundamentally different from yourself, and if you can convincingly prove your case via polite conversation you will win the argument (if there is a local dispute it’s generally possible to get more eyeballs on it by escalating to a broader group of volunteers).

The whole premise of being employed is that you make more money for the company than they're paying you.
