S3 is designed for 11 9s of durability. What this means is that they model a "correctly functioning system" (i.e. replication and/or erasure coding) and the durability guarantee is about HW failures only. However, such models do not (& really cannot) account for the existence of bugs or introduction of new ones. That's a huge part of why S3 doesn't really do a whole lot of feature development (well that + it's hard to maintain a 20 yold codebase).

Also, we're talking about Google Drive here which isn't GCS (Google's S3 competitor) but a higher-level product layered on top of GCS but with it's own book keeping / ACLs etc. Thus there's more room for error. My hunch is that the data is permanently lost.

Additionally, S3 stores an enormous amount of data such that probabilistically they're bound to lose something to HW failure. 2 years ago, S3 stored 100 trillion objects [1]. With 11 9s of durability annually you'd expect to lose 100 objects a year. The saving grace is that most objects aren't accessed (maybe not ever again) & they detect & correct durability errors on access to ensure that accessed objects definitely aren't lost. So while they "admit" to 4 objects, that's likely an under count because I wouldn't expect them to regularly check if all 100 trillion objects are accessible because of how long that would take.

Wow, really? Name anything heavily advertised on corporate media.

Insurance, defense contractors, pharmaceuticals, home security systems, cars, body spray, McDonalds, Coke, politicians; it's all fear, status, greed.

Reading the dear John letter it reminded me of two of the companies I worked in the past that wanted to reduce their staff, and they were looking for volunteers. In both cases I found better AND god a very decent payout. I understand that someone in their late 50s may not see this as a blessing, but imagine getting another job and a 15% raise and 5-10-20 salaries (gross) in your pocket (as a great sign-off bonus). I see this a free money!

> A watchdog group called Valent found evidence anti-ULEZ posts may have been boosted by thousands of alleged fake Twitter accounts. No source of funding to buy the accounts was identified.

> The online campaign was matched with a blizzard of leaflets, delivered through doors in West London. One, from the Conservative Party, falsely claimed that air pollution had increased during Khan’s tenure. Some of these, of untraceable origin, promoted conspiracy theories that claimed ULEZ was part of a plot to lock Londoners into their immediate neighborhoods.

> The ULEZ expansion was facing a legal challenge, and the mayor’s office, as a party to the case, was advised that it risked losing if the court felt it was trying to sway public opinion. At the same time, rules governing communications by public bodies during elections forced the city authority to suspend much of its advertising in Uxbridge aimed at dispelling common misunderstandings about ULEZ.

Doesn’t sound much like the Democratic process is the main issue here

I've regularly thought "what's the point of creating, taking photographs or putting effort into [artistic endeavour] if it means that it's just going to be stolen and reposted on Instagram, Reddit, TikTok ad nauseum?"

Obviously there ARE points to doing so, but it feels ultra-shitty that you're consigning yourself to having your work stolen if you're good enough.

I believe you're missing the crux of the problem.

What's new about phones is NOT that things are manipulated so that we want more of it. "News" have been around for centuries and they've always been manipulated to give most people outrageous stuff to consume.

What's new about phones is that A) they are an effectively infinite source of stuff and B) it takes 2 seconds to get them from our pocket.

So you're blaming addiction on optimization by evil services, but in reality the problem are the phones themselves: they make it too easy to "get more".

Meh, most devs I've met can format code better than Prettier. Having a consistent set of rules sounds alluring at first, but the issue is that mechanical application is, well, mechanical and therefore dumb.

My personal impression is that the code style bike shedding is a sign of team immaturity. In the more mature teams (composed of more mature persons), I haven't really seen formatting bike shedding.
It's different in one way in particular: AI-generated content is in the public domain in the US, since copyright isn't applicable until a human's creative input occurs. That's either better or worse, depending on your viewpoint!
> A lot of people think it's because they're woke. It's not even that - they're just bad movies.

Every time I hear this claim "It's not that it's 'woke', it's that it's a bad movie" I ask myself: "what does 'woke' mean, then?"

I don't consider myself to be a conservative. I lean left on a lot of issues, especially social issues. I love Star Trek and a lot of left-leaning art. Yet I can't stand "woke" movies and tv series.

Why is that?

In my opinion, part of being a "woke" movie IS being a bad movie. It's not that it has a message or a point of view. There is tons of great art out there has a left-leaning message. To me, "woke" suggests that any combination of character, plot, theme, development or production design was neglected in favour of tokenization (or "pandering" as South Park put it). The implication being that the movie was supposed to do well because, allegedly, "modern audiences" are seeking titles with heavy handed messages and tokenization because that's what they are looking for, versus well thought-out writing and production. A "woke" movie is one where bad reviews can and are blamed on various *ists.
Is it local only? It would be pretty handy if you could check while you were at the grocery store, I don't always plan my shopping list in advance so it'd be helpful to check things like "How much butter do I have" or "how full is the milk".

I thought there would also be electricity usage benefits but after looking at people online who have crunched the #s that might be negligible.
There is also a ton of stuff that has more or less formulaic sections where a person can cut and paste paragraphs that they could have written had they spent more time. This is what I've found ChatGPT/Bard somewhat useful for. I may reject. I will certainly selectively extract sections. I'll augment. But they can give me some useful material to provide background and otherwise flesh out the meat of a piece.
Give it a rest. If you actually want to make an impact on pollution, stop buying cheap Chinese junk and campaign for a nuclear power plant.

> Trouble is, there is no real high-level "general purpose" library of components beyond the core HTML elements

This is why I hate making web UIs.

> then the probably reason for their not being a general high-level library is that everyone wants something special for their websites

This is why I hate using web UIs.

At this point it's hard not see this as a fully self-inflicted wound by the platform. I know there are component libraries, but the work always remains fragmented because someone decided that their buttons needed purple highlights while someone else's needed drop shadows.

And the devs seem to love staying at this low level of abstraction. Feels like they had to be dragged into the component model espoused by React et al over many years.
>After a POC i was able to get results on sub 1 second to get the results with 2 core serverless instance

I've made something similar in the past and my experience with the specific API was that it was surprisingly well considered but the actual data it returned was unreliable at best. Not just "slightly obfuscated for paranoid physical security reasons" but actually missing trains and reporting incorrect names.
kinda reminds me of a page on stallman.org that tells potential hosts what stallman likes and dont likes...if only i could find that link....hmmm..
Given how important the web’s deploy story has been for its success, I’m surprised we haven’t seen more zero deployment application platforms / prototypes appear. Docker is an attempt at something similar on the server, but docker images are huge and docker still separates its docker fetch and docker run steps.

Maybe part of the problem is that the web is the only platform where people obsess over the size of deployed artefacts. Websites are certainly getting bigger, but they’re still an order of magnitude smaller than the average snap package or iOS app.
The article specifically mentions Cloud Kitchens, and my understanding is that they do not allow for pickup. Is your experience different with your local Cloud Kitchens location, if so, how do you order pickup (call/text in)?

Ok, fair enough.

But shouldn't a direct comment be addressing to the paper instead? I might be wrong and am certainly not well versed in HN.

I am not disappointed in your comment per se, I'm disappointed that is the top comment. May be because replies to your comment got more upvote (again, not knowing HN well enough to understand this.) But if that's the case, that's more because of a controversial comment attracting more refutals than the comment itself being more relevant to the discussion.
Thank you :)

Both very valid points. I think if I was clever with timing and angles the first one is definitely doable. The second one woudl be even simpler - the API returns flight velocity so I can even calculate this from one data point
It is though. On a trip earlier this year I clocked at it almost 150mph via GPS. That's HSR by any definition.
Yes, because it's faster and cheaper. You can now just outright create thousands of spam articles in an hour, or less, with only one person using prompts. SEO spam is already horrendous and is making search engines worse, publishers using this outright spam to both game SEO and advertisers is not great, imo. The problem is that there is plenty of backlash on bigger players doing this, but no one cares about smaller players doing it. Eventually that puts bigger players at a disadvantage, and they'll have to also start doing it enmasse. I think that's why we see them all slowly dipping their toes.
What about users accounts to the share the files and then adminstrating those users over the internet, what about metadata and images for browsing. What about viewing on Smart TVs. Plex and jellyfin offer a lot of functionality that your suggestion wouldn't account for so I don't think anyone has forgotten they just find a personal Netflix to share with family and friends very useful.
But gravity is caused by the discrete particles (those with mass), so is it really continuous then? A discrete particle could only move in discrete steps, causing discrete jumps in gravity, would that be right?

And if gravity is continuous, could it store infinite information (for all the same reasons, having arbitrarily precise values) then?
Middle management is getting squeezed in a lot of firms. Risk averse management won't cut it, IMO.
In related news, water is still wet.
Have you seen evidence that it's a thing? I've seen evidence of it being a useful threat, just as multi-cloud is. The company that most publicly "did it" ended up plateauing as they stopped innovating on anything other than that backend migration and plus they likely would have gotten the cost they looked for from the hyperscalers if they'd continued to negotiate. But maybe I'm missing something?
>Gruesbeck was driving a one-man lift when he struck his head on an overhead conveyance system, Amazon said. According to the company, he was working to fix a jam on the conveyor and was trained on how to use the lift.

It sounds like it was something that would be difficult to foresee. Without seeing the entire picture, it would be pointless to speculate beyond that.
That's mostly a facet of frameworks like Spring, not something inherent to Java itself.
I think it's new. I've only heard it in the last few years.
Kind of, because now 1 person can do the job of hundreds, or thousands, and now you'd either have to:

1. Invent new (bullshit) jobs for the thousands to do

2. Pay those thousands money to live (basic income)

3. Send them off to die, fighting for you and the 1 person commanding the AI, in the next major armed conflict
I don't have any concrete measurements, but I think this is about right, ± a bit depending on the type of application.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing though; Go is a bit more explicit on a number of things and there's less opportunity to make code 'dense'. Both have their own up- and downsides.
Acela tops out at 150-160 mph (240 km/h-260 km/h) which is is above the 200 km/h bar for it to be considered HSR. Unfortunately, the route it runs on has several speed limits below even 100 km/h due to bridges and tunnels beyond the design life, so it's hard to call it HSR when it can't actually hit those advertised speeds.
> but also that it can't receive updates

Manually blocking connections for computer apps or disallowing automatic updates on phones often leads to "you must update the software to continue using this" block. It happened constantly when I had an Android and didn't allow updates because I was effing tired of developers messing up something that worked perfectly as-is.

No, no, it's one of the most essential of all tools! If I had to recreate civilization, I would start with antibiotics and vise-grip pliers. I mean, what are you going to use if you can't find your wrench, pliers, screwdriver, hammer, or tooth extraction tool?
no, the claim was that phones and tablets make it easier to learn and socialize, not that you can't without them.
Zig's new compiler is a nice example of how you can do all sorts of inherently slow things at compile time and still have a lightning fast iteration time for developers if you design your toolchain for incremental compilation instead of making the compilation unit be the entire module the way Rust did.
The existence of ghost kitchens is why I stopped ordering food online entirely in favor of going to the actual restaurant to get my food. You can't trust online food delivery at all anymore.
A flat tax is deeply unfair, it allows those that have the money to do what they want, while limiting those that don't.

It's actually doubly unfair, since the rich pollute much more than the poor and even the middle class.

Far better to replace car lanes with bike lanes and bus/tram lines while removing parking. Making the downtown pedestrian only also works well.

Oh yeah and ban SUVs. Those things are killers.

Yeah, that's what Fallout did, so at some point I had all the money in the world. And even exchanging them for the rest of their inventory becomes silly. Does the shopkeeper really prefer a stock of looted crap over his more useful potions?

I think it would be interesting to see some actual supply and demand: if you're flooding the market with crap you looted from goblins, at some point they become worthless. Even +1 magic swords can become worthless if you sell enough of them.
Define efficient. Profitable? Maybe. Good at moving an array of goods from anywhere in the country to anywhere else? Not so good.

The Class I's and their obsession with operating ratio and PSR have strangled freight in this country for decades and pushed costs onto the public by means of increased truck traffic (and the congestion, pollution, and roadway damage that entails). Unless you're shipping bulk chemicals or coal, you're probably gonna use a truck.
> That's incredible, whats the catch!?

They prioritize low-coverage areas (no idea how generous they are for covered areas).

Nearly all of their position data is from these receivers, so you're providing them with more coverage/redundancy for the plane positions.

The hardware is relatively cheap (under 50$) and I don't imagine the business tier costs them much money.

Bear in mind that not updating your Plex server could leave you open to security vulnerabilities.

In my experience it seems there is not a lot of understanding, even among people who are technology oriented, that it is possible to do strong cryptographic authentication without encryption. Whether from oversight or purposeful omission, it's an option that very rarely surfaces in discussion.

I was going to say, from what I've seen it looks like this kind of problem: a problem with the desktop sync, rather than Google's cloud storage itself.

The sync problem at the same time feels more likely and worse, as if the files never touched Google's servers and its sync went and deleted them, there'd be nothing they could do.
