Yeah I agree. As near as I can tell municipalities treat Alphabet like their own data utility. They consider it an extension of their government. I have two kids in public school and those schools' reliance on these closed platforms is almost 100% complete for everything from newsletters to surveys to class sign-up and bill payment. It is the largest thing that keeps me from de-googling my life.

I'm not necessarily saying municipalities should build this stuff out themselves, only that it freaks me out when small governments rely on giant corporations to support their infrastructure.
Firstly, I just want to say thanks for the reply, but more so thanks for your work, its moving opensource mapping forward.

In my work we are looking at switching from mbtiles hosted with tilserver-gl(https://github.com/maptiler/tileserver-gl) to pmtiles to remove a server process. But we were self hosting already and we are already using maplibre-gl 2.

I can see why the implementation in the blog post would be better for high traffic deployments (ours isn't). It also points out to me I don't understand how a CDN would handle range request for hosting the pmtiles file directly, it probably doesn't?

As far as the mapbox stuff,in my mind, pmtiles is a direct competitor (successor) to the mbtiles format, which was a revolution in comparison to everything that came before it. A successor I welcome because it makes it even easier for me as a developer to self host and not be dependent on a SaaS to run my maps.

The modern opensource map stack wouldn't exist without mapbox and I'm personally grateful to them for that. Most people who use pmtiles will use mapbox's opensource style spec to style them, and descendants of their open source code to render them. But as a developer now its an obvious choice to not use their services after years of using them.

However I'm not doing high traffic stuff and they never made much money off me anyway.
I have shaky hands, and a shot of alcohol is one of the recommended ways to treat them. This doesn't mean that alcohol has no downsides though.

Acknowledging that something has negative long term effects doesn't mean that you have to stop using it, it just means that you should weigh those effects into your mental cost-benefit analysis.

We use webusb and webserial in an internal tool as an easy way to distribute a cross platform way to flash an embedded device. It works great for supporting platforms which aren't used by the majority of our developers (Linux). I'm sure there are other ways to write a portable application, but the web route is a lot simpler.

I really hope we never remove these API surfaces from the web API surface.

You exec oracle with an unveil that prevents a compromised oracle from touching any data that you didn't intend, and an exec pledge that removes the ability to open any raw devices other than the ones you handed to it directly.

The program upthread will let you do that.

It won't be as good as Oracle doing its own pledges, of course, because well pledged programs narrow down their pledge set as they run -- but if you have a binary that you can't modify, this is as good as you can do with any security framework. For example, Linux has landed on the same model as pledge when they added landlock, where a program is expected to landlock itself after opening the initial handles to resources.

The apparent decline in children's mental health seems to have started in late '00s or early '10s. E.g. here's a study from just before the pandemic making the same conclusion - digital media: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190315110908.h...

True, but web fonts don’t have frequent critical patches. You can’t expect to use Oracle software without paying ever increasing maintenance in perpetuity. Well, maybe some, but certainly not any database products.
Death is an inevitability for us all. Depressed children is not.
I think it's often a mistake to insist on a third-party font if an environment-/OS-native font family does a good enough job already - it's just more data transferred, text often "jumping" around when the font data has finally been processed and is ready to render, and (often, in real-world use) data needlessly exfiltrated to some font-hosting CDN operator.

The only third-party font I'd consider using (for reasons of superior accessibility, not style) on websites and the like is the [Atkinson Hyperlegible Font](https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont), which is free to use and redistribute.
Then you have to borrow the stock and you are short a stock that you cant buy back because trading is halted - it could reopen at 2x the current price.

Better to wait for the trading halt to be lifted, naked puts are the best way to express a short position here.
Software really has inadequate training. People get very diverse training experiences and that can be a source of friction between developers at different qualities and competencies.

It also moves so quickly that things don't settle and people have time to get intimate with frameworks and paradigms - I'm talking like 5 year timelines with libraries doing only maintenance updates. Front-end was bad for this because of the browser wars and JS's foundations gave it a really rocky start. The allure of starting over with a new library to get away from the current "bad" way of doing things is often repeated: SPA frameworks over vanilla/jQuery sites, hooks, and now maybe signals?

There are also jobs asking you to be spread very thin among things, while keeping deadlines, so you end up googling around to get it to work, even if it violates some principles of the frameworks you're using. That doesn't really lead to expertise.
I know several people that use it to save time composing letters and emails. They can dictated the important bits and let it structure the words. They love it. Its value is probably about right at $20/mo for a tool. It isn’t the greatest thing ever, but it’s useful for language composition. It’s easy to alter the response and build upon it to correct anything that needs adjusting. They don’t use it to give them the universal truth of the world.
I agree that there's a point where co-locating is a good thing to think about. But I don't think $100k is it. To put it in perspective, $100k is probably how much an intermediate engineer costs a company (not just salary).

In exchange, you give up the usual cloud conveniences like easier budgeting, easier scale-up (and scale-down), lower up-front costs (which is a big deal for most early startups), better SLAs, being able to use cloud object storage without paying transfer fees, access to support, fewer things that can go wrong, etc.
I’ve never worked at a cloud company, but I know more than I’d really like about some of the stuff under the hood.

First, changing out the CPU type to something that isn’t almost identical out from under a running VM is a mess and may require degrading the system by removing features from the starting CPU. Switching manufacturers at runtime (AMD vs Intel), while sort of possible in theory, is effectively a lost cause.

To add CPUs, you have to deal with the architecture’s nasty hot-add CPU mechanism, and the guest OS needs to be expecting those CPUs starting from when it boots, and that expectation isn’t free. (The latter is Linux’s num_possible_cpus vs num_present_cpus.)

Adding memory involves getting that memory into the kernel’s memory map in the right places. This is more complex than one would like. Removing memory is worse.

And all this happens, in the cloud data center, on essentially normal hardware. If you want to add RAM, the CPUs need to be on a system with more RAM, preferably on the same NUMA node. And vice versa for adding CPUs. If the tenant is paying for local storage, that needs to move, too.
IANAIPL but IAAL and I'm skeptical of this, at least in the U.S. There's nothing in title 17 AFAIK that explicitly allows this, and it is quite different from how copyright works for all other categories of works.

I'd be interested in a citation if you have one.

Do you think you could vectorize all the pages in a book and magically get around the copyright?

EDIT: Thank you for providing the citation. Interesting! I'm not sure I agree with the court's analysis in ELTRA Corp., but the codification in the CFR obviates any difference of opinion on the matter.
So, my experience-

I worked for a small (~300 headcount) software company that did CFD software.
We were told to build out our HPC capacity so that customers could use our hardware to run their jobs instead of having to manage a cluster themselves to run our software. The software was billed per core-hour, and that was the only charge. It made no difference if you ran it on your infrastructure or ours-there was no additional charge for our compute or storage or network bandwidth.

We bought compute in units of between one and four racks fully populated, usually lease with a trivial buyout at the end, or just outright.

In the last 24 months we were an independent company, our SaaS infrastructure
drove an additional $24 million to EBITDA. In that increment, we spent $9 million total on hardware, colo, network connectivity and our salaries. The total cost of replicating our compute capacity (for those 24 months) on AWS was ~$31 million. This all came out on the due-diligence that we had to do as we were being bought by a larger firm, so the accountants were satisfied that the numbers were accurate.

IOW, the article seems to be completely plausible.

I thought it was a bad take because it involves repeated behavior that would have clear feedback and differs a lot from singularly bumping someone or even doing it regularly in disconnected social contexts. In general both author and Haidt seem to making overly expansive generalizations. Probably a better example is that misgendering unintentionally is very different from doing it intentionally but this piece seems to be trying to say that Haidt and the Author both think that it always has to be viewed as either a transgression or non-transgression rather than there being a continuum of giving the benefit of the doubt one way or the other. I'm personally more inclined to assume this is the Author's distortion on some level, but may be wrong.
> The Touraine Law in 2014 raised the number of worked years from 36 to 43, which is a big deal.

that's right, and what's so surprising (to me) today is that the Touraine law got enacted without much protest, while what's happening today is taking the same terms for retirement and extending them to younger generations (i.e. those born between 1960 and 1973) is causing protests. The current proposed reform looks like a big deal, but the bigger deal happened in 2014 and was barely noticed (because the lawmakers were careful enough to put it far enough in the future...).
The longer duration and fat solubility of canabinoids makes the alcohol comparison difficult. Many people have a glass of red wine with dinner daily, and are not drunk in the daytime, but even very light cannabis consumption nightly seems to result in a permanent low-level stonnedness.
> but what if you actually do have a room-temperature superconductor, but the entire community is dead set against considering even the possibility?

That's not the case, though. If you say "I've got a room temperature semiconductor" (or a reactionless drive, or an antigravity machine, or whatever) and tell people how you did it, people will _absolutely_ try to reproduce that. Not just academic institutions, either; the US Navy has a bit of a history of trying to reproduce obvious nonsense, in particular.

Well, it depends. I bought font for personal projects that were a one time 20$ purchase which I don't mind especially if i'm supporting young designers. The reason why I have to deal with web fonts it's because graphic designers usually design websites using typefaces without even bothering checking the webfont license first and then is up to me to explain the extra costs to clients.
Not really, it depends on license agreement. For example today I integrated just another font to a customer’s website and license agreements had paragraphs about suing in case of attempts to copy/modify or any other way meddling with the font or its visual representation.

Obviously, you still can make a copy of any font and change it a little, but you can be sued for this.

I'm bearish on anything that isn't a full blown car ever being on the street in any real numbers capable of affecting anything at scale.

The nanosecond something comes down in cost per performance enough to be a viable replacement or middle ground between a car and a bus pass the poor will adopt it in droves and then all the upper middle class types will find reasons to crap on it.

This already happened with mopeds. Many US states regulate them like motorcycles with the "we don't say the quiet part out loud" being that that drives up the cost making them not as viable for many potential users. We're starting to see the beginnings of this happen with e-bikes as they approach and sometimes exceed moped performance. I don't see why a electric trike would be any different.

I hope I'm wrong.

Honestly, that's a fair point (playing with puts) - and yeah, I know that if trading was resumed SIVB shares would drop to $0 or close to it, which would probably trigger a much larger collapse because lots of banks had exposure to SIVB.

Thing is though, that's the whole point of banking stress tests and also why the Fed should have raised rates much sooner after COVID.

On a side note, the fact that VCs were giving out tons of money to lots of companies at crazy valuation multiples, that had no reason to exist, much less take in millions of investment...is definitely part of this whole mess. Banks and VCs need to do a lot more due diligence before just giving out money.

On that - interest rates need to be reasonable to make sure people who want to save their money get an appropriate return. 0% or near-0% is just financially irresponsible to those of us who remember getting 5-10% annually in our savings accounts.

To nitpick, simple ABS is an improvement over locking some of the wheels. It often struggles with preventing a lock of all 4 wheels, because it loses reference for the road speed. A dumb ABS system with just wheel speed sensors can't tell if [0,0,0,0] means all 4 are locked, or if you're stationary.

> there isn't an obvious single party which would desire this legislation

Holy cow. Its amazing how the general public is so unaware of how the mechanism for lobbying for laws work:

This 'pedophilia! think of the children!' thing along with its accompanying laws came to the public agenda at the same time in both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, in the Eu at the same time. And separately, in the UK. With various celebrities pushing it and certain segments in the respective parliaments introducting it all at the same time. In the same fashion that laws like ACTA, PIPA etc were pushed.

Who wants it is pretty simple - the establishments want to spy on the citizens but they dont want the public stampede and ensuing fallout that laws like the Patriot act involves.

If you would have any doubts about it, just look at what the UK establishment and its politicians say - having gotten used to get whatever they want regardless of what they say, they are directly saying "Just give us backdoors" to encryption software producers without bothering with the hassle of pedophilia.

Which brings us to the below problem:

> China for proxy-policing

These people are able to commit all these evils, from patriot act to jailing whistleblowers, because the public rationalizes and justifies what they do and throws the blame and all the evils to outside just like you did.

It wasnt China who pushed the patriot act. It wasnt China who spied on everyone on the planet as revealed by Snowden. It was our own establishments. And as long as people like you keep diverting the blame to outside like you have done, those who perpetrated such acts will keep getting bolder.

...

Aside from all of these, there IS an actual party with a very specific interest that is pushing these laws, and the reason why it is doing this is so much sh*ttier than the above establishment reasons that you will want to gouge your eyes out:

As to unintentional racism/sexism, it’s impossible to treat thousands of different groups equally with every action. The layout of entrances to a shopping mall is going to disadvantage some group because of where people live. Calling that racism or sexism devalues the meaning of the term into irrelevance. So no, there’s still actual racism and that’s what the term is referring to.
