>That's a societal problem, it can only be solved by society, not by cryptocurrency peddlers and tech-bros. And in any case: at some point that "wealth" has to enter the real world, and it's there that governments can step in and seize said wealth.

People escaping oppressive regimes don't have time for their society to solve it, they need to leave to a different, less messed-up society. And this is one of the few ways that they can bring a decent fraction of their assets with them in a form that's not very easily stolen from them.

I’m not sure it even demonstrates that. For comparison, C’s inability to prevent undefined behavior at compile time definitely is a fundamental weakness of the language. Yet C has its own tools that, like Miri, can detect most undefined behavior at runtime in exchange for a drastic performance cost. (tis-interpreter is probably the closest analogy, though of course you also have ASan and Valgrind.)

Or to put it another way, the reason that Rust’s implied bounds issue is not a fundamental language issue is that it almost certainly can be fixed without massive backwards compatibility breakage or language alterations, whereas making C safe would require such breakage and alterations. But Miri tells us nothing about that.
I’ve taken hiatuses from social media and I’m generally happier since I fill my time with more meaningful content, like reading or studying something new, or watching a fun new show.

You aren't going to get there. The risks and complexity of a startup are high to begin with. Adding artificial roadblocks because of aspirational fantasies is going to hold you back.

Look at the big successes such as youtube, twitter, facebook, airbnb, lyft, google, yahoo - exactly zero of them did this preventatively. Even altavista and babelfish, done by DEC and running on Alphas, which they had plenty of, had to be redone multiple times due to growth. Heck, look at the first 5 years of Amazon. AWS was initially ideated in a contract job for Target.

Address the immediate and real needs and business cases, not pie in the sky aspirations of global dominance - wait until it becomes a need and then do it.

The chances of getting there are only reasonable if you move instead of plan, otherwise you'll miss the window and product opportunity.

I know it ruffles your engineering feathers - that's one of the reasons most attempts at building these things fails. The best ways feel wrong, are counterintuitive and are incidentally often executed by young college kids who don't know any better. It's why successful tech founders tend to be inexperienced; it can actually be advantageous if they make the right "mistakes".

Forget about any supposedly inevitable disaster until it's actually affecting your numbers. I know it's hard but the most controllable difference between success and failure in the startup space is in the behavioral patterns of the stakeholders.

> But for solutions, can't you just buy a voip number?

No, how would my uncle in the countryside of Vietnam do that? He doesn't have a credit card -- not many here do. He doesn't speak English -- can you find a website that sells voip numbers in Vietnamese? Buying a voip number from a provider in Vietnam has the same exact KYC requirements as buying a SIM, so it is still tied to your government ID and registered forever.

Also buying a VOIP for 1 month costs something like $10 from a quick Google. Average salaries are like $1.50/hour. Nobody is going to pay an entire day's salary to buy an VOIP number they throw for a month just so they can register anonymously for chat.

So, not you can't "just" buy a voip number unless you're a rich Westerner. But who needs privacy more? People in liberal democracies or people in places like Vietnam (literally an authoritarian country where people are routinely imprisoned for speaking against the government)?

> I don't know anyone who buys a phone with cash except international students.

Everyone buys a phone with cash here because few people have credit cards, since there is no such thing as "credit ratings" and it is easy for people to disappear from their debts. There are more people in Vietnam than any country in Europe. We all use smartphones and messenger apps here, too.

This is still not a conflicting requirement. Rust relies on implicit bounds, that is said in the linked document, and the "universal" quantification there is not really universal, it in fact has a requirement. It's not present in the syntax, but it's present in the type system. The algorithm in the compiler loses that requirement and fails to reject invalid programs.

Rust has many cases when it introduces implicit type-level properties, another one is async-fns with its lifetimes and marker-traits such as Send.

Apparently the bulk of my state (Western Australia) is filled with billionaire survivalist equivilants.

Al Corbi, president and founder of Virginia-based SAFE (Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments), which caters to custom designs for the uber-rich, notes that many billionaires are particularly focused on how to survive power grid failures, including buying cars and planes that are less reliant on computer interfaces.

“A lot of these guys are buying up King Air or older planes that don’t have the electronic avionics, and keeping one or two older cars built before 1986 in their collection, so they’ll still function in an EMP [electromagnetic pulse].

It's about understanding the system holistically, and recognizing patterns. If I understand 'p -> q', and I observe 'q', I can deduce 'p'. Obviously, this is the simplest example, and real systems are more complicated, but it all works off of understanding causality. If you understand projectile physics, and you find a projectile, you can deduce the path taken. (The arrow of time is one of physic's big mysteries though.)

Some of the advances of AI enhancing and outfills are pretty scary in that respect. Like the Xerox compression bug in scanners, but much more pervasive, and, since it's goverments doing it, more or less inscrutable.

> Sure. But I draw the line when people try to force their anti-American agenda on people.

This doesn't happen, though; there are a lot of universities that love pro-American sentiment in professors. A university deciding to be anti-American seems fine, and quite American. As an employer, it should be able to choose who it wants to offer positions. No one is forced, they just fail to incentivize prestigious universities in maintaining their employment under conditions they desire.

I think this might be wrong. The article ends with quotes from Jacob Berv. It says:

> Jacob Berv, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Michigan who was not involved in the study, said that it illustrated state-of-the-art methods for crunching huge amounts of genetic data to reconstruct evolutionary history. But he did not agree with its conclusion.

> If the new study was right, there should be fossils of all major groups of living birds from well before the asteroid impact. But almost none have been found.

> “The signal from the fossil record is not ambiguous,” Dr. Berv said.

> Dr. Berv suspects that the correct story comes from the fossils, and that most major groups of birds emerged after the asteroid impact. The potential problem with the new study, he said, is that it assumes that the bird DNA accumulated mutations at a steady rate from one generation to the next.

I don't know anyone who has bought an EV based on marginal differences in headline cost like this.

It either works for your use case or it doesn't.

In the UK since approx the Ukraine war it's been significantly more expensive to run an EV (per mile) unless you have a home charger.

But realistically everyone I know who buys new cars buys what they want and a few grand doesn't really influence it.

Show HN: Deploy highly available infra to EC2 with Docker-compose and CDK
I created a CDK deploy that uses docker-rollout [1][2] to deploy highly available infrastructure to EC2 using only autoscaling groups. It is not super polished but it is a complete example, so it could be useful if you are considering hosting on EC2. Rolling out deploys involves updating one file on S3 and running one script.

Ironically after all that setup, I decided to give Linode with k8s a try [3] :-) (due to aws' high costs of egress and NAT gws / IPv4 tax on AWS, and the fact that some apps that I want to run are easier to deploy with helm).

More notes:

* I did try ECS and Fargate, which are nice, but also come with associated costs and a bunch of complexity. At that point, I rather spend time directly with k8s, which should make my localhost parity way higher, and hosting somewhere more affordable.

* I tried both Pulumi and Terraform. I have mixed feelings about them. I ended up using CDK because it _felt_ like the nicer development experience (except when CloudFormation fails and it kind of hides the reason why, sigh ... fishing for logs on CloudWatch is such a drag!).

* I tried to add some NACL rules since I ended up running the thing on a public VPC. I couldn't make it work but at that time I had already decided to host elsewhere so I left it like that :-). I did succeed on adding support for AWS WAF. Sadly, the cdk currently doesn't have high level support for WAF so it was not as nice to setup.

Lol to p0w3n3d's response. The reply link to his post has been disabled.
Yup. & when you get a model that works matched up with an industrial scale decision problem that's valuable to solve, arguably it's only of academic interest if you can solve it "optimally". The problem is only a simplified model of reality anyway -- it's often better to get a quick close-enough approximate solution to a problem that's a good approximation of the situation than an exact optimal solution to a simpler problem that's a poorer approximation.

If you're lucky enough to get a problem that's basically stable over time, where the problem structure doesn't change, then maybe you can get improved solutions rapidly at industrial scale replacing use of a black-box MIP solver like Gurobi/CPLEX with a decomposition that exploits the problem structure, where sub-problems can be solved by some specialized graph algorithm or heuristic or brute force (if they all have bounded size), and the general purpose MIP/LP solver can be left with the job of figuring out how to deal with the shared resources and constraints that bind the subproblems together. The downside to a highly specialised custom solver is that it usually isn't flexible to changing requirements (unless you get very lucky) -- a slight change in business rule can break the problem structure that underpins the entire solution approach.

IMO Android UX is pretty great, for a personal computing device. YouTube's UX is also pretty great, for an ad delivery network. It succeeds at showing you ads.

YouTube doesn't really care if the search function gives you the right or wrong search result. Totally irrelevant as long as you click something, anything and your eyeballs are on the next ad. YouTube is optimised for keeping you watching ... literally anything... as long as they can play you some ads, preferably expensive ads.
