Perhaps the threat of actual extreme punishment would incentivize companies to behave such that the punishment never gets invoked?

Currently the worst thing companies ever face is a little itty bitty fine and maybe a toothless regulator telling them “Pretty please would you mind not doing that again? If it’s not too inconvenient to shareholders that is…”
So you ask a question, but don't allow for it to be answered (because you don't actually care how the person is) and interrupt him.

This is anything but polite.
Reminds me of the first time a bought a mattress. The guy was 60 years old and had been doing it his entire life. I was blown away at the depth of knowledge one could have on mattresses and mattress technology.
You are making a major conflation here. While they do millions of users, they were last reported to only have ~60k tenants.

Decently sized EKS nodes can easily hold nearly 800 pods each (as documented), that'd make it 75 nodes. Each EKS cluster supports up to 13,500 nodes. Spread in a couple of regions to improve your customer experience, you're looking at 20 EKS nodes per cluster. This is a nothingburger.

Besides, it's far from being rocket science to co-locate tenant schemas on medium-sized pg instances, monitor tenant growth, and re-balance schemas as necessary. Tenants' contracts does not evolve overnight, and certainly does not grow orders of magnitude on week over week basis - a company using Figma either has 10 seats, 100 seats, 1000, or 10,000 seats. It's easy to plan ahead for. And I would MUCH rather having to think of re-balancing a heavy hitter customer's schema to another instance every now and then (can be 100% automated too), compared to facing a business-wide SPOF, and having to hire L07+ DBAs to maintain a proprietary query parser / planner / router.

Hell, OVH does tenant-based deployments of Ceph clusters, with collocated/coscheduled SSD/HDD hardware and does hot-spot resolution. And running Ceph is significantly more demanding and admin+monitoring heavy.
Regulations vary by state, but it is not in general illegal to sell a used mattress.
So one review of your app, in the App store, can lead to acquisition of your startup. That is when you own a marketplace and have competitive advantage.
Yeah nah, that's some sweet Dark Brandon merch out there.

Guarantee someone's already selling some Jacked Up Joe merch already.

There's always someone selling merch though, a few years back a rather famous/infamous politician in NZ, Winston Peters, came out of left field to win a by-election in the electorate of Northland that the ruling National party government expected to win easy, the same party that had snubbed his offers to work together.

So people started selling "King in the North" t-shirts with ol Winnie photoshopped onto Jon Snow. I, being honest, nearly bought one, because you had to admire his schtick.

So yeah, there's always merch.

But, AFAIK, at least no-one is selling Joe Biden fan art NFTs yet. It's like a double grift.

And obviously Trump loves the merch far more because he gets a cut.
Harvard Probe Finds Honesty Researcher Engaged in Scientific Misconduct
Your cost estimate is not really reasonable for what it would cost to lay fiber out in the middle of nowhere at extreme scale using labor sources that don't currently exist. But the differences here are so stark that I'm not even going to argue against that, beyond what I've done. Let's go with it, while also considering you also have maintenance costs of course - quite large ones in fact when you're obligated to support and maintain wiring/towers even out in the middle of nowhere.

Now let's compare to Starlink. That system was privately designed, built, and deployed for a total cost of ~$10 billion. And while I don't know their maintenance costs, I do know they're now already turning a profit with a relatively small number of users. So that's providing complete and stable connectivity for the entire globe, at half of the bottom of an unrealistically low price for wiring a single country. And you get vastly better reliability, and near 0 labor maintenance. I don't think this is particularly close.

Particleboard is absolutely useless, MDF is mostly useless except using as a guaranteed flat surface on top of something to support it, hardboard is pretty useful in certain applications though. OSB is great and extremely affordable as sheathing, and there's a massive variety of plywood that's great for their respective purposes - from cheap rough sheathing, mid-grade for shop projects and filling large gaps in furniture, all the way up to beautiful and supremely strong Baltic birch.

I like iFixit, but that part of the article is nonsense. They completely ignore the standard argument for parts pairing as a theft deterrent:

A shady shop buys a box of broken, non-activation-locked phones, and a box of stolen, working, but activation-locked phones.

They install parts from box two on mainboards from box one. This completely defeats activation locks and cell modem blacklisting.

The same thing is commonly done for other high-value products. It is what automotive chop shops do (there, a wrecked car with a clean vin + stolen car with dirty vin is turned into a sellable car with a clean vin).
Lawyers rule the entire justice system. Not even the "good" ones want to normalize the prosecution of lawyers for committing crimes while practicing law.

Some of the fault protection and failover procedures:

https://voyager.gsfc.nasa.gov/Library/DeepCommo_Chapter3--14...

Page 74-75

> 3.7.3 Spacecraft Fault Protection

> The CCS has five fault-protection algorithms (FPAs) stored in memory, as
summarized in Table 3-9. The two algorithms most directly related to the
telecommunications system are named RF Loss and Command Loss [19].

> 3.7.3.1 RF Loss. RF Loss provides a means for the spacecraft to automatically
recover from an S- or X-band exciter or power amplifier degradation or failure
affecting the unit’s RF output. The CCS monitors the output RF power at four
points in the RFS: the S-band exciter and S-band power amplifier and the X-
band exciter and X-TWTA. If the output RF power from one or more powered-
on units drops below a threshold level, the algorithm will attempt to correct the
problem by switching to the redundant unit.

> 3.7.3.2 Command Loss. Command Loss provides a means for the spacecraft
to automatically respond to an onboard failure resulting in the inability to
receive or recognize ground commands. If a period of time set in the flight
software goes by without the spacecraft recognizing a valid uplinked command,
the Command Loss timer expires. The algorithm responds to the presumed
spacecraft failure28 and attempts to correct that failure by systematically
switching to redundant hardware elements until a valid command is received.
Command Loss will be executed four consecutive times if command reception
is not successful. After four unsuccessful executions, the CCS will disable
Command Loss and activate a set of sequences of commands named the backup
mission load (BML) and described below.

> 3.7.3.3 Backup Mission Load. In the event of permanent loss of command
reception capability, a BML command sequence stored onboard each spacecraft
is programmed to continue controlling the spacecraft and achieving
fundamental VIM objectives. The BML will begin execution two weeks after
the first execution of Command Loss and continue until the spacecraft stops
operating. It will transmit cruise science and engineering telemetry, store
science observations on the tape recorder, and downlink playbacks regularly.

Isn’t that the same with most engineering disciplines though? A nuclear engineer cannot build a nuclear power station at home, a chemical engineer or process chemist doesn’t have access to the industrial grade infrastructure outside of their job, a computer hardware architect cannot hope to design hardware at home and fabricate it at 3nm or better at TSMC. I guess that software engineering was more of an exception to this rule for a while because home computers were amazing enough to help build useful software. Even throughout all these years many people worked on parallel code that run on large clusters or infrastructure that was not appropriate for operating at home and now with deep learning a subset of that skill set is very desirable. I agree that additional public contributions to the training process on large clusters would be fantastic; eventually these people will be trained in all the right systems courses and will figure out their way to the jobs where they can apply their skills and grow.

Postgres is simply the best. One thing I would like however is the ability to have control over the query planner for specific tasks. There is a dark art to influencing the query planner, but essentially it is unpredictable, and postgres can get it consistently wrong in certain scenarios. If you could just enable a special query mode that gives you absolute control over the QP for that query, it would solve a major pain point.

I'm not a database developer, and last time I researched this (a few years ago) I found many good reasons for not enabling this from postgres contributors. But it would still be very useful.

It's not insurmountable. Do you need to be mindful of self-dealing regulations? Of course. However, there are many investment opportunities available to non-wealthy people which can be pursued via self-directed ROTHs and LLCs owned by them. Real estate (financing, bridge financing, rental ownership, distressed property flipping, etc...) is probably the most commonly used one I've seen IRL but I've still seen it used for investing in friends and family rounds of startups, etc...

It's certainly not a "yolo do whatever you want, the IRS won't care" fund but it is still available to the non-wealthy. I know many people who have been making use of it for years without any unfair government characterization or attention. The best I've personally seen is a couple in their early 30s with ~$7 million (real estate related dealings) in their self-directed roth which is a far cry from $5 billion, obviously, but pretty amazing nonetheless.

The Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement was secret, so I'm doubtful that the Czechoslovak government was aware of the machinations until long after it was signed.

Here's another quote restating the same info followed by a citation to Haslam, Jonathan (1983). Soviet Foreign Policy, 1930–33. The Impact of the Depression. New York: St. Martin's Press.:

"A new Czechoslovak cabinet, under General Jan Syrový, was installed and on 23 September a decree of general mobilization was issued which was accepted by the public with a strong enthusiasm – within 24 hours, one million men joined the army to defend the country. The Czechoslovak Army, modern, experienced and possessing an excellent system of frontier fortifications, was prepared to fight. The Soviet Union announced its willingness to come to Czechoslovakia's assistance"

Oh, and it was Czechoslovakia not Czechia. I'm curious why you're revising history yourself while questioning my sources.

The Nashville AT&T explosion didn't take out the data lines, but took out the electric service. Then the gas company cutoff the gas lines so their backup generators couldn't run (wiki says it was due to fire/water damage, so maybe I have that part wrong). The facility didn't have roll-up generator connections, so they had to figure out how to wire them in at a big time cost.

I know you are just talking in general, but in this specific case, it doesn’t appear that they actually say they can’t do it. The idea that they can’t do it just seems to be a misunderstanding from somebody posting on this site.

I agree in general that it is annoying that companies say they “can’t” do something, mixing up “incompatible with my business mode” and “incompatible with reality.” But I don’t see anything like that in their comment.

WRT reusing their implementation for the actors, I’m not sure, is that possible? The actors upload videos of themselves so it ought to be easy to verify the fact that the face on the ID matches the face in the video, right?

In the case of a user, somebody could easily steal their parent’s ID or use a computer that someone else had left logged in, right? I mean, I don’t know how any of that works, but I could see why the site would rather not risk it.

I mean, this is a site full of webdevs, would anyone here want to take a chance at implementing something like this in-house, before best methods have been discovered? I suspect most people would rather wait for a lawsuit-tested turnkey solution. So, “can’t” in this context could mean something like: we aren’t aware of an existing solution that fits inside our legal risk tolerance. That’s still a business objection rather than a laws-of-physics one, but it seems a lot more reasonable.
