I'd like to see a matching consumer side tax. Basically forced on shoring and user pay taxation (instead of taxing my grandma who uses about 0 chips, lol more than amazon who uses millions/billions of chips but pays next to no taxes)
Im german, so the 3 pin socket is already the default. You can't do many things without protective earthing.
I don't have experience with that kind of setup, so can't really comment. Kubernetes is not magic, if you're running MySQL in NFS volume, it's just mysql process running in separate cgroup with mounted NFS volume. If you think that's a bad idea, don't do that. When it comes to processes and mounts, Kubernetes just arranges things and rest is done my ordinary Linux APIs. I tried to run Postgres with ceph volume and it works for me. You can configure database to just use local storage. Of course if your server will die, your database will die, so probably you will want some kind of cluster setup or be ready to restore database from backup if that happens. Or you can start with simple setup and migrate to something more complex in the future.

Why EDNS0
Because DNSSEC
Why DNSSEC
Because cache poisoning
Why cache poisioning
Because remote, shared caches
Why remote, shared caches

Was the idea for remote, shared caches suggested in RFC 1035.

RFC 1035 suggests that the resolver and the cache are part of the user's operating system.

"User queries will typically be operating system calls, and the resolver and its cache will be part of the host operating system."

The expectation is that the cache is local, not remote.

"Resolvers answer user queries with information they acquire via queries to foreign name servers and the local cache."

Mockpatris' DNS does not direct anyone to make use of remote, shared caches. It is entirely optional.

"Foreign nameservers" refers to authoritative servers, not third party caches.

DNS can work without using third party DNS service. I have been using it this way for 14 years. Remote, shared caches are optional. As is making remote DNS queries contemporaneous with HTTP requests, generally. For myself, the DNS data I need can be collected in bulk and stored.

IMO, a general historical principle that applies to computer software is that "features" can carry risks. In a non-DNS context, Apple's latest "Lockdown Mode" has now provided a popular contemporary illustration. Not every "feature" makes sense for every user in every situation. EDNS0 is an optional feature. Some computer owners may choose not to use it.

There are risks in DNS "extensions".^1 It is for users to decide whether they wish to undertake those risks by using them. Personally, I still adhere to original DNS packet sizes on the networks I control. The now relatively small 512 byte packets are one of the things I like most about DNS. I do not enable EDNS0. I do not send ECS.

NB. I am not against extensions, per se. RFC 1035 contemplated them. I remain keen to to learn what the "Z" bits will be eventually be used for. However using remote caches "safely" and facilitating someone else's DNS-based load balancing are not "features" that interest me.

1. EDNS0/DNSSEC becoming a DoS vector and user privacy leakage via ECS.

Notes

EDNS0 may have spawned further extensions with different impetuses. EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) being an obvious example. Here I refer to what appears to be the initial impetus for EDNS0.

ECS has been the source of problems, e.g, with user privacy.^2 Its impetus was to help CDNs, not users.^3 It may or may not also be used to further the commercially useful data collection (read: advertising-related services) of those who provide third party DNS service.

Remote, shared caches are sometimes referred to as "open resolvers". Problems have been associated with open resolvers.

2. User privacy against the third party and its commercial pertners, not against the operator of the authoritative nameserver.

3. Whether it is "mandatory" (cf. optional) for CDNs is debatable. Cloudflare, a large CDN and third party DNS provider, has said they do not send it. Unless the RFCs have changed, IETF recommends that it be disabled unless it provides a clear benefit to clients.

This is great news! For far too long, Website owners have been collecting data on their users at no benefit to the users themselves. When website owners try to collect data on their users (for any and all reasons) it just violates the privacy of those people and needs to be put to an end. Those French website runners should really create their own, CNIL and GDPR compliant anonymized data storing, rather than using off the shelf, low cost alternatives. After all, things have been a bit too easy for them. (Running a website is pretty easy, I would know!). In fact, The fact that other, compliant-data aggregators, offer fewer features and lower reliability is actually a good thing. Trying to improve your website or even pester me with whatever you made is just irritating spam; I can't believe those independent owners would even dare. They should just be flushed out of existence.

HEY! Why is everything being centralized to just a few services? Why is the web dying?!
In many jurisdictions, this won't help you and may actually increase your change of being held liable. For example:

>...A Beware of Dog sign may or may not count as protection against lawsuits. In Alabama, the court is likely to consider that if you need a sign telling people to beware of your dog, then you already know that the animal is dangerous. This can still apply even if your dog has a lack of violent history.

Valgrind is fantastic.

Memcheck decreases the memory safety problem of C++ by about 80% in my experience - it really is a big deal. The compiler-based tools that require recompiling every library used are a bit impractical for large stacks such as the ones under Qt-based GUI applications. Several libraries, several build systems. But I hear that they are popular for CI systems in large projects such as web browsers, which probably have dedicated CI developers. There are also some IME rare problems that these tools can find that Memcheck can't, which is due to information unavailable in compiled code. Still, Memcheck has the largest coverage by far.

Callgrind and Cachegrind give very precise, repeatable results, complementary to but not replacing perf and AMD / Intel tooling which use hardware performance counters. I tend to use all of them. They all work without recompiling.
The next generation of Americans will grow up hungry if we cede the security of the very item at the heart of all of our infrastructure. The next generation won't have any equivalent electronic equipment from the post-WWII era, whilst living in a world that is based exclusively on semiconductors (consider the usage of semiconductors in medical equipment as well). This is certain death, and this kind of short-sighted belly aching is a problematic position to take when we're staring down the prospect of losing the entirety of our ability to sustain the infrastructure needed to keep anyone alive in the first place.
On the metaverse question: does anyone seriously believe Facebook can innovate, let alone build a new industry?
Thanks for the explanation/link, appreciate it. I'll reserve my cynicism of using this as a reasoning to hold-up progress.
Well, it was originally very experimental and a Slashdot project -- short short stories, diary entries, poems, opinions, film reviews, whatever goes. Then someone got the bright idea that the place should be factual, and there was a big push for it to be real and grounded and not so artsy.

Then Wikipedia came along and ate. their. lunch.

The experimental folks already lit off for greener pastures, and others had been driven off by "XP Pack Rape," a practice as charming as its name, wherein a user would be targeted and just sort of ... de-karma'd or whatever you would have it.

Between those forces and the decline of Slashdot, well ...
You're missing a piece of the puzzle actually - this goes back to George Walker Bush's presidency.

Democrats were being extremely obstructionist in GWB's federal judges. Republicans were considering throwing out the filibuster in response. Moderates from both parties got together and convinced their respective sides to back down and let judges get through while maintaining the filibuster.

In 2013, the tactic was pulled out by Republicans, and the Democrats used the - given the history of this tactic - unsurprising response after some time. Which, of course, led to 2017.

You have a point, but the way Europeans see the US is very different from how they see China. The US has done some morally questionable things in recent memory (War on terror, Snowden/Assange, Trump, etc) but on the whole US is seen as an ally, not an adversary.
Your other comment said:

> The content creators I've subscribed to are now rarely in my feed which is full of "recommended for you" videos and movies for rent.

The solution is to go to your subscription feed. This also wasn't a few months ago. This changed many years ago. I remember hating having to put the subscriptions page in my list of URLs because it was harder to go there. Previously there was a section of the YT home page for your latest subscription uploads, I think? I don't remember exactly.

You also need to actively watch content from your subscribed channels in order to get their videos recommended to you. I have a ton of channels I'm subscribed to but not all of them show up in my recommendations because I don't watch their content enough.

I feel that's actually better because there are channels I'm subscribed to that I don't watch all of their content, e.g. conference channels, but I do want to occasionally see if they uploaded anything I want to watch. Channels I actively watch frequently have their newest uploads pop up in my recommendations almost immediately.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

The humanity actually cannot meaningfully have an article about every person in human history, and have some standard for quality. There do need to be notability guidelines.

But. People are complaining about this stuff for decades now, and wikipedia is not going anywhere. So that’s good.

I do hate inscrutable wikipedia bureaucracy too though. It’s almost impossible to navigate the maze of projects and rules and committees. But that’s a different issue.
Ah, yes, the ol' write your congresspeople. Part of the problem is that for years they are running on these platforms saying they will help the people but end up not doing any of the things they say they are going to do.
I am surprised AACS still bothers issuing new batches of keys. Blu-Ray copy protection has been pretty thoroughly broken for over a decade now. The fact that most people no longer have optical drives on their computers is a bigger barrier to casual movie piracy than AACS.

Alternatively the name of our country (well my former country but whatever) is the United States because existing colonial governments held significant power and weren't willing to unite if it meant they could be unseated from their cushy political appointments.

Yes and no.

Some sites of historical significance were intentionally destroyed, particularly if the memory is painful. Most notably it has been very hard to preserve what remains of the Berlin Wall as a memorial.

No it was a wise and practical decision. And the fillibuster has always been a stupid accident of the rules. It delayed civil rights bills by over a decade

Everyone knew that McConnell was lying and would have overturned the fillibuster on judges the second a supreme court fillibuster started. And we would have gotten the same extremist supreme court that laughs at restaint and takes away fundamental rights

Because every argument I've seen along those lines fall apart after drilling down a few layers.
> If they can make a massive success of the project, they will easily be the new Apple.

In what way? If Facebook wanted to replace the iPhone with some "metaverse" device they would need to be able to build a device way more advanced than their current offerings at a price point equal to or less than the iPhone. That means they would need to make up for thousands of person years of engineering, manufacturing, and operations expertise that Apple currently has.

You're basically saying "If Facebook could build a copy of Apple from scratch and make some compelling products, they could be the next Apple". Samsung is an industrial behemoth and just keeps up with Apple.

Not only is that unlikely it doesn't even sound possible.
Historically this would not have been especially easy for microsoft to do, since windows was not really designed with the idea of locking out all syscalls. And for many purposes (not including hard-core sandboxing) the existing windows security mechanisms were considered good enough.

This would be quite possible for Microsoft to implement on top of their pico process architecture (only microsoft can implement those drivers, with prevention measures like locking down the registration system before any third party drivers are loaded), since for a picoprocess all syscalls get handed off to the pico provider, which can ensure that no regular syscall can remain directly callable, and provided only the set of specially designed synchronization system calls.

But there are still challenges. Your no DLL rule means that these system calls must have a stable ABI, since statically linked code will be used to call them. (Or alternatively you are forcing the using app to manually create a file mapping of relevant dll, and act like a dynamic linker to get application code linked with that.)

But fundamentally it is just a decent chunk of engineering effort, only became realistically feasible with the introduction of pico processes which is relative recent in the overall lifespan of Windows, does not have especially high demand, and is not a something that enables some exciting new end user feature that makes it worthwhile to implement despite limited demand.
It would be absolutely insane to link overturning Roe to Reid's decision. Everyone already knew McConnell would have gotten rid of it anyway the second a supreme court justice was fillibustered. Look at his actions in the Garland and Barrett nominations, compared to that getting rid of the fillibuster for judges is peanuts.

The only mistake Reid made was not to do away with the fillibuster fully
No they ignore the problems with technology ( unencrypted cloud connection / data storage, or lack of zero knowledge systems ) and move the problem to political or other realms.

The problem with the technology is it allows the company, political power, or police to access the data with out user permission, that is a technological problem, belief that just passing the correct laws to resolve this technology problem defy's recorded history and logic
I kind of think FB is uniquely positioned to make the metaverse thing work, if it possibly can. I just think it’s unlikely we’ll ever see it catch on, no matter who is pushing it.
This has nothing do with people’s civic engagement levels, and everything to do with money. The semiconductor industry gets a massive subsidy because they spend tens of millions of dollars on lobbying - impoverished schoolchildren get left to starve because they don’t.
>The barrier is capital expenditure, not regulation/licensing/taxation.

I don't think you can just decide by fiat that things like regulation and licensing aren't barriers. Taxi medallions before Uber comes to mind.

>Besides, any competitor entering the market would be expected to make just as much or more profit as the existing companies

You also cannot just decide by fiat that adding more competitors mean the same amount or more profit. I don't think it is a very popular economic opinion to believe that adding more competition raises the profit. I do not understand why any rational competitor would expect their profit would be higher with more competition, unless they have some kind of edge.

> Wikipedia is a cautionary tale of what will inevitably happen if you try to hypercentralize information at the Internet scale.

"Decentralized" <> "unmoderated", "without content standards", or "without editors". Is there a more decentralized knowledge resource of general significance? Hosting happens to be centralized, only because nobody else cares enough to rehost it themselves (which the license allows you to do).
Same reason we’re using Nim for our IoT sensor platforms firmware: it just boils down to C, so we don’t have to give up driver support or rewrite ESP-IDF from scratch.

These are fair points. I am actually sorry that my last post might have been more dismissive than was called for.

The thing is most people live in urban areas (and the general trend is for that to increase) and don't work in woodworking. So this caused me to be a bit dismissive as it doesn't really effect the main point that much.

As I said, there will always be exceptions. I think the more productive discussion is to find what would work for most people, that is people in an urban setting. Then we can figure out how to make it work for people farther out.

I am not sure what the best solution for your situation would be. I guess the biggest quick win would be just to get private cars out of the cities. It doesn't really matter if a few people farther out own cars as long as they are a minority. Maybe that is where electric cars would come in handy but then again they lack the range.

Again, most people live in urban areas and prefer to live in urban areas and once cities become more green they will become even more attractive furthering urbanization. Whether the few people living outside own a car or not will hardly matter.
