Writes in MongoDB are persisted before the server returns acknowledgement. For a typical replica set deployment, this additionally means replicated and made durable on disk for a majority of nodes.

MongoDB has tunable durability guarantees; clients can opt-out of this behavior.

The layers are deep, but this is the function that handles waiting before acknowledgement:

> Real hourly and annual minimum wages are statutory minimum wages converted into a common hourly and annual pay period for the 30 OECD countries and six non-member countries for which they are available. The resulting estimates are deflated by national Consumer Price Indices (CPI). The data are then converted into a common currency unit using either US $ current exchange rates or US $ Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) for private consumption expenditures.
I usually just write one sentence in english right in the code where I had been typing. The next day, the compiler points me directly to it and I can pick up where I left off fairly easily. It makes it easier to stop at any time, easier to leave-it-at-work, and easier to start the next day.

McD's is making more money on their "authorized" repairs (those companies are also owned by them). That's it.
I don't disagree, but for the sake of having productive conversations, it's easiest to acknowledge that this is a matter of one's frame of reference. Are you technically correct? Yes. How much does that matter at the end of the day? For most people, myself included, I'd argue not a lot.

As someone who straddles the system call boundary, I generally consider myself as not running in a distributed system if the layers of the stack below me will fall out from underneath me when some invariant of their abstraction around the distributed nature of my execution context fails to hold.

For PCIe-interconnected devices (except for HBAs and disk because that entire stack outright lies to you), the chances are pretty good that the kernel will bugcheck if it can't successfully remediate the problem.

For something connected over Bluetooth? Not so.

It's a bit more complicated than this, but one shortcoming is that wood simply doesn't burn hot enough to smelt steel (1100 or so?). Coal was, for us, effectively an essential step.

Regarding the "Right to Silence", I recently learned something I didn't know. While I was familiar with the right to remain silent after arrest to avoid self-incrimination (based on the Miranda ruling). There is a separate right to remain silent unrelated to incrimination (5th amendment) but rather tied to 1st amendment free speech. Of course, we're all familiar with free speech rights but is there a corresponding right to "free silence"?

It turns out there is but it's not enumerated in the first amendment, so it's called an "implied right." It's been derived by the courts (including the Supreme Court) as logically inferred by the rights which are enumerated in the 1st amendment. What I found interesting is the boundaries of this implied right to silence are currently less well-defined than than the other 1st and 5th amendment rights. Apparently, some cases the court will be deciding this year may involve further fleshing out these fuzzy edges. I'm not an expert but as I recall, the scenarios may include things like whether social media networks can be compelled by a legislative statute to disclose (ie 'speak') their content moderation policies and whether public universities can enforce codes of conduct which may compel speech.

Personally, I'm all-in on the vital necessity of robustly expansive free speech rights, so I'm also all-in on robust freedom of silence rights. I used to think I understood the limits of free speech in the U.S. but reading this article by 1st amendment expert Ken White on free speech tropes surprised me. Highly recommended: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/08/free-speec...
Except that your summary misses a ton of important details.

1) The most important one being: "This machine sterilizes itself without removing the feedstock"

The sanitization of these machines is not dependent upon being cleaned by someone who cares or is competent. This minimizes the possibility of food poisoning and the attendant lawsuit.

2) The alternative device had no indemnification associated with it.

If somebody adjusted the machine and then a customer got food poisoning, who was going to be on the hook for the lawsuit?

Practically everything about these machines is defined by lawsuit avoidance combined with the fact that these machines are manufactured in low volume and not that profitable by themselves.

These machines are primarily a legal liability transfer mechanism. The fact that they serve ice cream is completely incidental.
What in the world have you been reading to believe any of this?

There were a whole lot of factors involved in the subprime crisis, partially free market and partially government. At it's core, the banks were taking on risky loans. Banks package and sell loans as investment vehicles and in order to get these loans off of their books they mixed the risky loans in with the safer ones to sell them. As they sold and passed ratings approval from the institutions that were supposed to identify these risks for investors, other banks did the same in order to compete effectively because the free market incentivizes competition.

When businesses discover a new way to make money, others will adopt and impersonate that technique. That was the free market hand in the housing crisis because these investment vehicles were sold everywhere.

But the root cause was the risky loans in the first place. All banks had to do to remain stable was continue loaning money after verifying a high level of confidence that the borrowers could pay it back. But their hand was forced.

Similarly, if you look at the cost of higher education today it's entirely due to student loans. Supply of admissions at colleges remained relatively the same but demand was sky high. Normally increasing prices would slow demand, but the unlimited supply of student loan dollars allowed it to continually increase in price year over year. As prices go up, income goes up, compensation and construction increases and other institutions have to do exactly the same things to compete. So they do.

But all of that is enabled through the firehose of federal money tampering with the free market.

I don't know what you have been reading to believe all that, but this is mathematical in its consistency. Yes, regulations are sometimes needed but 9/10 times when there is a financial issue aligned around skyrocketing costs it is due to government interference. Whether housing, healthcare, education or otherwise it's always the same.

Millennium Challenge 2002 (2018)
But there is the essential difference — it is not the algorithm, whether performed manually or by machine, it is the testimony. A defendant need not testify against oneself. A computer cannot testify at all. The police can seize the computer and have a go at cracking it, it’s just a thing.

This one seems pretty cut and dry, frankly, since they’ve asked him to provide the code, and he refused. It sounds like the prosecution erred significantly in making closing arguments about pleading the fifth being indicative of guilty. The more interesting question, which is not involved in this case, is whether a defendant can be compelled to provide unlocked devices to law enforcement.
Yes, he was forced out in a bitter dispute, almost a riot, about serving these in the HP cafeteria. At least that's what I heard. They took their food very seriously there.

I wonder how often this nugget of wisdom is rediscovered and passed on, in every field – I remember learning it as a kid from an autobiography of Roald Dahl, who in turn learned it from Hemingway...

> I never come back to a blank page; I always finish about halfway through. Hemingway taught me the finest trick : “When you are going good, stop writing.” You don’t go on writing and writing until you come to the end of it, because when you do, then you say, well, where am I going to go next? You make yourself stop and you walk away. And you can’t wait to get back because you know what you want to say next.

I used to work for a large F100 company where I had to know no later than June 30th what my expected expenses would be for the next fiscal year (January-December). Any increase in expenses or acquisition of a new product required going through an extraordinary escalation process. Smaller companies may be more flexible but also may not be able to absorb price increases.

For what it’s worth, the same F100 company was notorious for taking anywhere from 90 to 180 days to pay invoices…because it could. If your price is above a couple hundred (US) per month you may not be able to just use credit cards/paypal/etc and need to learn the ins and outs of procurement systems.
That's fine. Lots of folks buy the first one in store and the rest online..

I'm not sure how this has anything to do with AWS. But I guess you can use it to confirm your idea about vendor lock-in if you're bound and determined to convince yourself you're right.

This assumes a lot about the cost of those CPUs and related resources in the respective environments. Cost per equivalently performing unit on a managed server vs. cloud instances is often vastly different.

It's also extremely uncommon to have loads that spiky.

And when you do, hybrid is often a solution (use a provider that can provide colo or managed servers for your base load and cloud instances for your peaks, or scale across providers).

People that know me know I'm not fond of the design of containers on Linux. But that's just because I've been stuck having to make things actually work on them.

Very few people who don't use cloud use their own data centers. The dominant alternative to cloud is colo or managed servers.

On the one hand, I get that they’re trying to go as minimalistic as possible, and so this phone makes a lot of concessions.

On the other hand… the experience of using this phone seems worse than a Nokia 3310 two decades ago, especially when it comes to texting. Typing on that little hardware keyboard was unbeatable, and far better than relying on voice recognition.

If I were switching to a dumbphone I’d want it to at least be as good as that (bonus points if the battery life was just as good; even less distraction).

It's legal to lie to the police under questioning in most circumstances, i.e. "I didn't rob that guy" if you robbed that guy. The big exceptions are falsely identifying yourself and lying while reporting a crime.

The push notifications are a centralized service that communicates with the Apple and Google push notification service. All those Element/XMPP/Zulip/etc apps run their own infrastructure that receives the notifications from your self-hosted server and passes it along to Google/Apple.

If you run an XMPP server and an iOS client for example you'll see in your logs that your server is connecting to, e.g. push.tigase.im or whatever if you're using Siskin. Another server for Monal. Another one for ChatSecure. and so on.

And they break. Monal for example rate-limits connections which leads to no push notifications for a while.

It's not unthinkable that they will either fold and follow the current trend or stop offering the service altogether, if it really does cost.
