The premise of "too big to fail" is that a thing is depended on by too many other things, innocent people, to allow it to suddenly become rubble. It's an insurance company and its policyholders did nothing wrong. It's a bank and its depositors did nothing wrong. It's Boeing and they're the sole supplier of some critical things.

The "easiest" way to fix this is to bail them out, because then the company itself can carry on fulfilling its obligations and you don't need all the people relying on them to individually apply to get bailed out or otherwise have to rearrange their affairs when the institution is instantly vaporized. But that, as they say, is a moral hazard.

What you really want to do is to destroy them in slow motion. Step one, the existing owners get nothing, they chose their executives poorly and suffer the consequences. Step two, those executives are out too, and the company gets new leadership and a bailout with the condition that the company will soon cease to exist and be sold off for parts, but first it's going carry on operating for a bit to satisfy its obligations to innocent third parties.

Great article - would have been useful to read before starting out on the journey of making rclone mount (mount your cloud storage via fuse)!

After a lot of iterating we eventually came up with the VFS layer in rclone which adapts S3 (or any other similar storage system like Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Openstack Swift, Oracle Object Storage, etc) into a POSIX-ish file system layer in rclone. The actual rclone mount code is quite a thin layer on top of this.

The VFS layer has various levels of compatibility "off" where it just does directory caching. In this mode, like the article states you can't read and write to a file simultaneously and you can't write to the middle of a file and you can only write files sequentially. Surprisingly quite a lot of things work OK with these limitations. The next level up is "writes" - this supports nearly all the POSIX features that applications want like being able to read and write to the same file at the same time, write to the middle of the file, etc. The cost for that though is a local copy of the file which is uploaded asynchronously when it is closed.

Here are some docs for the VFS caching modes - these mirror the limitations in the article nicely!

https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/#vfs-file-caching

By default S3 doesn't have real directories either. This means you can't have a directory with no files in, and directories don't have valid metadata (like modification time). You can create zero length files ending in / which are known as directory markers and a lot of tools (including rclone) support these. Not being able to have empty directories isn't too much of a problem normally as the VFS layer fakes them and most apps then write something into their empty directories pretty quickly.

So it is really quite a lot of work trying to convert something which looks like S3 into something which looks like a POSIX file system. There is a whole lot of smoke and mirrors behind the scene when things like renaming an open file happens and other nasty corner cases like that.

Rclone's lower level move/sync/copy commands don't bother though and use the S3 API pretty much as-is.

If I could change one thing about S3's API I would like an option to read the metadata with the listings. Rclone stores modification times of files as metadata on the object and there isn't a bulk way of reading these, you have to HEAD the object. Or alternatively a way of setting the Last-Modified on an object when you upload it would do too.
I will just point out that most everywhere i know housing has been unregulated and in hands of free market like forever. And its not like it works.

In bigger european cities gets to wierd situations because investors buy houses/flats as investment and know that they will make big $$$ just over time as the price of the flat increases. Renting it out is work, flat gets used (looses value) and whats worse if you (and all other investors) keep it empty you increase prices of rent/property everywher. In other words you might hurt your investment. So people keep it empty or set insanely high rent prices exploiting the desperate people looking for anything.

Its crazy how many empty flats around me there are yet we are in “housing crisis”.

Instead of price control first regulation we would need is not allow empty flats just laying there. Also we should accept that housing is human right and not allow it to be tool to exploit masses. So stop home speculation by for example progresively more taxing owning every home after the first one. Companies that own/manage rentals should be under extra scrutiny just like energy/water companies are. Having safe space to sleep is as much human right/need as access to water.

There is no way to excuse behaviour of the people working on the door that day, none.

Stopping at that level won't work there, Boeing tries to spin it that way, but this plane was not the only one woth issues on the door plug. And they already admitted that there was a work around decision loop regarding the necessary documentation work. And FAA audits do not stop at individuals and their behaviour, the explicitely focus on processes and culture (I assume FAA does in principle the same thing EASA does).

But hey Boeing tried to blame the 737 Max crashes on the pilots, so I guess trying the same with shop floor teams tracks.
I'm curious how a lawyer not being allowed to present as truth known falsehoods at trial is stopping an effective defense? Wouldn't the lawyer knowingly be committing perjury if they lied in court?
Your response neglects simple facts.
You are missing that certain vocations are not as popular to women as they are to men.
I doubt this is inherently an issue with the education systems.
I think what corporate America has been focusing on heavily recently was DEI, which is fine, but it seems that has caused management to lose focus on other matters impacting quality.
I've seen this first hand where a high ranking VP announced his highest priority is diverse hiring, again this is fine, but it's a choice in priority setting that sends a clear message if tradeoffs need to be made down the chain.

I am not against DEI or blaming diverse hires for issues.
I think management in corporations sometimes does poorly identifying metrics that measure what success means to a company.
Is it a 50/50 mix of women and men or to uphold the highest quality standard.
That's right, I'm pretty sure if you're rich enough you don't have to lie to your lawyer, they want to know exactly the truth in order to craft an effective defense.

That said they also say here it depends on the jurisdiction so in some jurisdictions it won't matter that you know if your client is lying.

hmm - potentially can you start a case in jurisdiction 1 where rules are a certain way and then get case moved to a different jurisdiction where it is different? Seems unlikely and probably not something competent lawyer would allow - but still...

Oh yeah, at one point Glenn Greenwald was making an estimated ~100k per month on Substack.[1] Pretty sure Graham Linehan has raked in some serious cash doing the same.

And then of course it's concerning that so many people are willing to throw that much money at wannabe pudits whose insights often boil down to "trans people are scary and bad." (That's still the focus of Linehan's newsletter, apparently! In all these years he's never come up with anything else to say!)

Slightly off-topic: why does git have such a near-monopoly on VCS? Mozilla might use something different, but I haven't come across a new project that used something other than git in at least years.

Usually there are at least a few choices with different compromises. Browsers, OSes, languages, editors, all have multiple actually popular choices.

Does git win because of the decentralized, everyone-has-a-local-repo aspect? Or the staging area, which I understand other VCSes don't have? Or just speed or reliability? Or just being in the right place at the right time?
In addition, I guess a public defender is likely to work harder in a case where they believe the client is innocent.

And then you shot her, correct?!

Answer: No I did not shoot her! I never did that.

And your lawyer knows it is a lie that you indeed did shoot her, it could be problematic at that point, depending on some jurisdiction.

I guess it depends if you think an effective defense should allow the guilty to go free?

I disagree somewhat - a book can also be (or at least contain) a work of art; a consciousness-altering, mind-expanding, experience-inducing thing.
Not to completely discredit this above comment's author but do let us point out:

Yassine Meskhout, the author of the linked article about being a public defender is:

* NOT the owner of the "LessWrong" blog (the linked blog which republished this article),

* and also NOT the owner of the original blog ( jessesingal.substack.com/p/my-clients-the-liars ) that first published this article in December 2023.

It's a bit hard to take complaints about the article authors blog seriously when it's not clear the article author has a blog as such.
I think it is fair to say that S3 (as named files) is not a filesystem and it is inefficient to use it directly as such for common filesystem use cases; the same way that you could say it for a tarball[0].

This does not make S3 a bad storage, just a bad filesystem, not everything needs to be a filesystem.

Arguably is it good that S3 is not a filesystem, as it can be a leaky abstraction eg in git you cannot have two tags name "v2" and "v2/feature-1" as you cannot have both a file and a folder with the same name.

For something more closely related to URLs than filenames forcing a filesystem abstraction is a limitation as "/some/url", "/some/url/", and "/some/url/some-default-name-decided-by-the-webserver" can be different.[1]

In a discussion about what monks know about focus, I too find it strange that other schools and practices are ignored. The core of the Buddhist practice is about cultivating the mind for insight and clarity. In the linked article, I find the reasons offered by Nestorus to engage in reading rather specious and elementary, hardly scratching the surface of a vast and well practised domain.

His first point - that reading helps avoid toxic thoughts - is avoiding instead of getting to the root of the problem and fixing it. His third and "most mysterious" reason for immersive reading - that it deepens our understanding of the reading material because our minds are changing - is how education works in the first place.

The basic Buddhist teachings and practices even for lay people cover this vast domain concisely, with clear prescriptions to practice and try it out for ourselves, iterate and progress. In fact, the very first of the seven factors of awakening that we're advised to cultivate is mindfulness which underlies everything else. This commentary [1] provides an overview.

The practices are covered in more detail in one of the core teachings, MN10 - Satipatthana Sutta [2]. While reading/listening/remembering are valued as aids (it's called suta-mayā pañña - knowledge based on learning), pretty much every Buddhist monk and practising upāsaka / upāsika (layperson) are taught to practice the techniques and realise this clarity, focus, mindfulness, etc., for themselves. The instruction mentioned above - MN10 - instructs you on attention and mindfulness wherever you are and whatever you're doing, in the section on clear comprehension - you're cultivating the skill (bhāvana) where you're clear about what you're doing, why you're doing it, the consequences of your actions, etc., whether you're defecating, urinating, reading, lying down to sleep, whatever - a constant practice of mindfulness and a full-time job.

Because of GitHub. It won, it uses only git, and then network effects.
Big names using it and GitHub. There are alternatives like mercurial, fossil, darcs, etc. but GitHub basically took over the social interaction side and majority of integrations. Nothing is better enough to displace it now. (Even if you think some specific feature in another VCS is cool, it's not cool enough to replace it where git's already deployed)

You'll still find different solutions in companies that really need it though, like Google.
This. Most people hired to write JavaScript are pretenders that cannot write JavaScript. At some point employers will just use AI to generate equally bad code at far lower cost. I dread the web being even more flooded with bad framework code than it already is.

The people that worry most about being replaced by AI probably should be, the people who cry about reinventing the wheel and cannot write original code, but most everyone else will be just fine.
I was unaware of these accusations, do you have have any supporting information?
I disagree somewhat. I really like audiobooks, but they actually bypass a huge amount of the creative effort that is required when reading a book. I'm still imagining scenes and settings, but no longer the voices.
These “file systems” are not file systems and I don’t understand why people expect them to be.

Some people are creating tools that make those services easier to synch with file systems but that is not intended use anyway.
Probably a combination of all of the above. When git won the VCS war, the local repo aspect was very important compared to prior options. It's fast enough, generally, except when using large files like in game dev where people prefer perforce.

Git is very much "good enough" for many people. The number of foot guns and lack of a well trodden path for many centralized corporate devs is quite high, but many people are content with it.

Personally, I think if the only advantage is git formalizes a merkle tree and sha based text comparisons with a poor cli ui, it's not very good. But many people think this is sufficient.

I suspect the reason is because Buddhism is lumped in with the other major world religions, and therefore considered a form of faith or belief. If the author knew Buddhism well then they would realise that couldn't be further from the truth.

Another possibility has occurred to me: they know Buddhism but don't want to scare away readers that have the above misconception. Actually I often find myself avoiding Buddhist terminology when I'm asked about my meditation practices.

Exactly, especially when the concept of filesystem really is defined before the whole internet scale becomes a thing or reality.

Maybe S3 isn't a filesystem according to this definition, but does it really matter to make it one? I doubt it. The Elastic Filesystem is also an AWS product, but you can't really work as one as you have locally, any folder over 20k files basically will timeout if you do a ls. Does it make EFS a filesystem or not?
Exactly. The difference between a Boeing employee doing “regulating” versus an ex-Boeing employee who now works for the FAA doing the regulating is significant.
I may be misinterpreting the general tone of these sorts of articles, but I usually get this impression: "selfish people who now work from home should go back to the office to keep sandwich shops open".

Setting aside all the environmental benefits of no longer needing to travel to and from the office every day, I also don't understand why these business pages don't see a changed situation as an opportunity rather than always viewing it as a loss. These delis were catering to a system that's disappeared, but in time there'll be new needs in the neighborhood, or new ways to use the premises, and create other jobs.

The people who were eating at this sandwich bar haven't magically stopped eating. They're just doing it somewhere else, giving their business and money to employ other people.

Where I live, nearer the edge of the city, all sorts of lunch restaurants and takeout places are flourishing. This is great because a lot of them are now also open in the evening, making the neighborhood much more alive and vibrant all through the day.

This is just a natural evolution that will stabilize over time. No need to force people to commute to an office for 8 hours a day, to keep a dinosaur system alive.
> Shareholder primacy was famously established in the decision of Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. in 1919. In Dodge v. Ford Motor Co.'s court opinion, it stated that "there should be no confusion" that "a business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders." Because of this opinion, a precedent was set that managers had to maximize shareholder profit.

Terms evolve and now filesytem and "system of files" mean different things,

I am the one who cited Feist.

You have cited no case law to support your wild, speculative claim about how it applies in this case.

You have cited no factual source for your wild, speculative claims that Wardle's partner was deemed to have a copyright interest in the word list or transferred such interest to NYT.
I think it's the latter. most people don't care about decentralization. Staging is more of a nuisance, there're some projects which try to eradicate it (https://github.com/martinvonz/jj). But I think git won the last decade because it is conceptually simple and elegant. You can reason about it in the case of any trouble. You can reimplement it if needed and be absolutely sure that reimplementation is fully compatible, because it is THAT simple.
I really enjoyed your comment because I have found myself speaking that untruth out loud when I lament the state of corporate ethics.

But, isn't it the case that activist investors aren't really using legal means to ensure that same result; they are using other means anyway? And, the net result is the same?
I think that GitHub is a massive factor here. The emergence of distributed version control created the battle ground, but GitHub meant that the entire world of open source and sharing code online would be dominated by git. It was their execution (marketing as well as good tech) that was better than bitbucket and attracted more and more of the open source world to GitHub and therefore git.

There's a powerful network effect with choice of version control tool, because others need to collaborate with you (even if just to pull or browse your repository) so the tool that starts to dominate will likely monopolize. This isn't the same with browsers.
Dodge v Ford Motor Co was a Michigan Supreme Court decision while I quoted SCOTUS. The very article you linked strongly suggests it's not a general law:
