You could do so syncing a Restic repository in a shared Synchting folder.

An issue is, you will allow external traffic to your network which may cause security and bandwidth issues, and you might be responsible if illegal data is stored, even if encrypted.

> trees leaning on the lines

I've wondered about this.

As opposed to electrical service, I think an ISP can put up wires in a hugely redundant fashion with multiple routes to each house.

If maintaining can be done at their leisure this way, say trimming back the trees every few years, can't costs be lower?

I'm thinking in an engineering sense. You probably know your ISP and they are probably maximizing profit, not cutting your costs.
Very interesting. I couldn't find a high-level overview of how they're approaching this though. It seems like they might be re-implementing some Linux APIs, but I have the impression that it runs all those APIs in a single process, like hosting a UNIX or Linux kernel as a guest OS, which would be a fairly large TCB. Is there a reference document that describes the system architecture in more detail? Their handbook is a little thin on details.

I said they’re causally related; citing a ratio between them is a teaching exercise. It’s like citing the ratio of air speed to ground speed on a plane; outside edge cases and ground school it’s not a pertinent metric.

> recommend various open courseware classes on this

Genuinely curious for who’s spouting this, because it runs contrary to prevailing economics. (Ideally someone not pitching crypto or gold at the end.)

> 1960 to 2007 is the optimal size; or at least in the right area

War-time economics? During which we suffered a quasi-banking crisis (e.g. S&L), international financial crises (e.g. the Asian financial crisis), and a hyperinflationary decade (the 70s) bookended by the Nixon shock and early 80s Volcker recession? That is your gold standard for American central banking? If it hadn’t been for trade liberalisation and the fall of the Soviet Union (and possibly the short-term fiscal stimulus effects of the Iraq War), none of which are monetary effects, you’re describing an era of economic doldrums.

Maybe the user wants to do real time exposure/color correction, so you want to minimise the number of frames from the moment of the input to seeing the output. To do it properly the user also would want to see analysis graphs on the screen on the same frame that's being displayed? And do this for 10 cameras at once?

Maybe your definition of "fast" for a large text file is War and Peace, and mine is multiple 1/10/100 GB text files that you want to search/interact with in realtime at a keystroke level.

I've probably written 100+ completely different "very specific examples" in very different industries, because that's where you can create much better experiences.

Generally your expectations are based around what you get as standard from the library, but if you want to get a much better experience then it immediately becomes a lot more difficult.

I think I get what you mean, but we should be clear—every measurement is probabilistic, right? We can measure photons with low enough inaccuracy that we don’t bother quantifying the probability that they might not exist. But, it is actually on some philosophical level a difference of degree, not type. I’m pretty sure.

I would not touch Go, thanks.

Either Rust or C# would be much easier in terms of vertical scaling strategy to reduce replica count and increase individual pod utilization - both languages offer better tools for scaling on individual many-core instances, reaching much higher throughput.

Edit: (though in wider context naturally the switch away from existing stack in a company would never make sense as long as it is a compiled language with sufficiently good average performance)
Statement on the Death of Professor Peter Higgs from The University of Edinburgh
The story of how Higgs predicted his mechanism was part of what got me into physics as a kid. It fit 10 year old me's obsession with the 'soft-spoken genius' archetype perfectly and formed a pillar in my belief that 'genius' was made through hard work (and some amount of luck) rather than being born with it.

The announcement of the detection at the LHC is a core memory of mine, I still distinctly remember where I was, what I was doing and very excitedly trying to explain how cool it was to my parents at the time.

Every old person demands lottery jackpot money to ever sell any real estate they hold, whether that is a house or just land that can be developed. That means there is very little return on investment for building new hotels and holiday stays. This is the reason why AirBnB became a thing in the first place. With the larger global middle class there is more demand for touristic stays than hotels can supply in beach towns and such, while at the same time not being worth it to build a new hotel for extra capacity.
If only we could build some really dense buildings just for tourists to rent with just individual rooms (with bathrooms), a little fridge maybe, and some amenities like pools and gyms. Imagine how much of this problem that would solve.
while i agree because i hate people and crowds and love small isolated beach towns...

Miami FL sort of proves that you can have absolutely insane amounts of development in a beach area and get massive tourist traffic.
> My family still lives there, but every time I visit I feel how soulless and fake the area has become. It has abandoned any sense of being an actual town in favor of becoming a de facto amusement park.

Anytime someone would complain about Hollywood, I would just mirror the same sentiments. It is an amusement park now, and most Angelenos (and probably Southern Californians, in general) rarely go there unless an out-of-state friend insists on seeing the Walk of Fame.
...and he investigated and found he had given hundreds of tickets from the same location.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point, but that does not constitute a speed trap. It very well could be that on that section of road there are just a lot of speeding drivers, and hence hundreds of tickets.

One example of a speed trap is if the speed limit takes a sharp drop without warning. For example, rural road with a 60 mph limit, and it drops to 25 mph at the town limits with no "25 mph ahead" signs, and there sits a cop with a radar gun ten meters after the "25 mph" sign.

> King for a day, I'd remove the government out of the student loan business entirely. That'd have a massive drop in college pricing.

Why do you think it would do that?

I once tried to take a look at college pricing over the last century but wasn't able to find much data. For the few schools where I did find data I found a general trend of college prices going up at something like 2ish times the inflation rate.

That trend didn't show any obvious change when the government got into the student loan business. Prices continued to go up at about the same rate I'd expect based on how they had gone up before. That suggests government loans aren't a major factor in price increases, and so it seems doubtful that taking them away would make much pricing difference.
> The city also extended its 14-percent hotel tax to STR operators and made it illegal to operate them without a valid business license. According to one estimate, the ordinance has since dropped the city’s number of Airbnb listings by 61 percent, potentially returning more than 1,000 homes to the long-term rental or purchasing markets.

This change actually just seems like it's just slightly leveling the playing field. Why _wouldn't_ STRs have to pay a hotel tax if they're addressing the same market? Why shouldn't full-time STRs need business licenses?

Well, your clarification did not help me to understand what you are looking for, try formulating your question once more. You just told me that your question is somewhere higher.
you're confusing what the company does internally, and what the algorithm does for customers.

cuz for all of the FAANG DEI drama -- entirely overblown, at that; doubly so since many got laid off in 2022-23 -- their algorithms sure are good at getting gamed by right wing actors. they're willing to pay for advertisements, and that's what they run.
Very cool story. For those who don't know what CP/M is, here's some background:

What is the fair point? At this point we should be welcoming alternate form of transportation at any price point in my opinion as long as it is not 5-10x.
This effects small businesses as well: These large mega corps buy up huge chunks of land and plan the entire thing from housing (which of course comes with their tight and pretty unregulated HSA) as well as slots pre-planned for particular businesses.

Here in Utah you can drive across the entire Wasatch valley and see a repeat "stamp" of this crap every 10 miles.
Of course, but even if Google makes somehow networking 50% more efficient, I can't architect my projects around that because I have to run the same systems in AWS (and Azure, for that matter).
The manifest v3 stuff might be a sign of things to come if someone doesn't slap down Google's near-monopoly. Google has every reason to make ad-blocking difficult and ineffective.
I noticed airflow as the backing orchestration service. Was there any consideration for another orchestration tool? I know Airbnb has at least two internally, but also that airflow is the predominant one for the data org still.

Which is why last-mile solutions often rely on userspace networking, for which low overhead FFI and tight control with unsafe primitives is required (you are unlikely to need the latter with Rust, as long as the data access patterns play nicely with static load partitioning and context switch minimization).

It's hard to rent a house to a local during off-peak and then rent to tourists during the peak season. And it doesn't address the problem of not enough capacity at peak.

You've got to either increase housing or limit population (including seasonal workers and tourists). Traditionally, short term rentals are served by hotels, and you can limit the short term population by limiting the number of hotel rooms. That doesn't really work anymore, if there's insufficient hotel space, it's now very easy to book short term rentals everywhere else.

If it was just that people don't want to stay in hotels anymore, no big deal --- locals could sublet their places to tourists and stay in the hotels during the season. But I think you'll find hotels are full during the season as well.

Mountain-towns often have a real need to limit population, as they don't have the infrastructure to support metro level population density. And it wouldn't be the mountain town people want to visit if you built it up to metro level.
As much heat as Neville gets for his policy of appeasement (deserved or otherwise), I'm not sure Britain was in a position to stop Germany by force anyway. American neutrality is certainly open to criticism, and I think America's performative neutrality is why American companies like IBM ended up in such pivotal roles during the Holocaust.

That said, I am referring specifically to the "this Hitler guy probably isn't so bad" phenomenon that happened inside Germany and Austria. It was a dramatic failure to take a stand against Nazism, by middle class people whose neutrality on the persecution of untermenschen was motivated by a fear of losing their economic position (and the perceived economic opportunity of seizing the persecuted's assets. That is where the "socialism" in national socialism comes from, by the way), which overrode their ability to see all the violence and hatred that the Nazis wore on their sleeves. Its very similar to the neutrality of the Swiss during the same period of time.
> Absolutely no option to build more houses under any circumstances, of course.

This is the US we're talking about, so yeah it's basically illegal to increase supply in a useful way, since the vast majority of the US is zoned for car-dependent single-family housing, which adds sprawls more than community.

As for adaptability, they're talking about fluctuations, not sustained increase. A smaller town can't absorb large fluctuations without draining resources for unused housing once those fluctuations recede.
