> At worst, this is misdirection […]

This is a political statement you're making. I get it: You want to assert that her work is about something else, and maybe Molly White wants it to be about something else as well. But that has nothing to do with the dataset.

When I look at that website I'm just looking at charts with numbers and breakdowns of those numbers. Sharing data is never "misdirection". It's just data.

The way to criticize her work is not to begin by attacking the person or their motives or the political or ethical implications of their work, but by describing and analysing her data.

Individuals can figure out for themselves if the data or its presentation is useful for them.

In general, you do your arguments a terrible disservice when you attack a person rather than engaging with their work. That approach makes one quickly lose the credibility they wish to assert that the person they're criticising doesn't have.
Geo distribution is something that everyone that can, should avoid. It just scales up the problems.

I said not "internal analytics". Not "internal". The end-customers who would be buying that aren't telcos. Like I said. They are the other (non-telco) emerging industries that Snowflake's blurb hints at.

e.g. a startup doing an Alternate credit scoring model isn't "internal analytics" wrt a telco.
Complete agreement; anything that can be used for tracking is a security vulnerability. That doesn't mean it's a top-priority security vulnerability on par with remote code execution, but there's already a whole vulnerability category for "information disclosure".
I like single lane roundabouts.

Multi-lane roundabouts, though, freak me out when they're really tight, have a lot of lanes or don't have lane markers (e.g. Place Charles de Gaulle in Paris).

Our tech stack is built around leveraging cutting-edge AI/ML technologies to provide powerful social media management capabilities. Here's a high-level overview:

1. Large Language Models (LLMs): We utilize state-of-the-art LLMs via API integrations for content generation and analysis.

2. Cloud Infrastructure: We're using cloud services for scalability and reliability.

3. Backend: Our backend is primarily built with Node JS.

4. Frontend: We've developed a responsive web application using Next JS.

5. Data Processing: We employ distributed computing techniques for handling large-scale data analysis.

6. APIs: We have robust API integrations with major social media platforms for data retrieval and posting.

7. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Beyond LLMs, we use specialized NLP models for tasks like sentiment analysis and trend detection.

We're constantly evaluating and integrating new AI/ML technologies to enhance our capabilities. Our focus is on maintaining a flexible architecture that allows us to quickly adopt emerging technologies in the AI space.

I thought we were taking about SI units, their general meaning, and the technical details of computers. Barrels seem completely unrelated to those things, being neither a SI unit, nor having to do with computers.

Like a lot of arguments, we're arguing over the definition of a word here ("kilobyte"), nothing more. I'm asking why technical details about a computer are so important they can override the generally understood (and well defined) meaning of that word.
The issue with market caps is that they assume a demand which is unevidenced by the market. Selling one apple for $5 does not thereby mean you can make $500 if you have a hundred. There is no investment bank with $200bn lying around to give to elon.

In order to claim the naive "asset-price/unit * num-units" calculation of net wealth, you have to make often wild and unevidenced assumptions. It's a metic made to inflate the egos to whom it applies, and to justify ragebait headlines, little else.
I can’t stop giggling at this group’s name.
In this analogy, it would be more like if "barrel" was a standardized unit of volume that everyone understood and used, but then in the oil industry specifically they used a slightly different volume and still just referred to it as a "barrel" because it's what they're used to.

And, whenever pressed for clarification, the oil people admitted "yes, technically our unit should be noted as 'oil barrels' which are different from the normal kind, but we like to just say 'barrels' because it's easier".
I feel like the invariant with "AI" is the software engineer saying "with enough data and statistics I can not understand the problem domain." It's fundamentally a rejection of expertise.

Take weather prediction for instance. This is something that the AI companies are pushing hard on. There are very good physics-based weather prediction models. They have been improved incrementally over many years and are probably pretty close to the theoretical peak accuracy given the available initial state data. They are run by governments and their output is often freely accessible by the public.

So firstly, where on earth is the business model when your competition is free?

Secondly, how do you think you will do better than the current state of the art? Oh yeah, because AI is magic. All those people studying fluid dynamics were just wasting their time when they could have just cut a check to nvidia.

This article is a bunch of truths that were cherrypicked to form a narrative where taxing wealth is bad, in a way that feels almost like soviet propaganda.

The web is not TV. At least it did not begin that way. The above is from the mid-1990s when the web was nothing like TV, not even close. The first paragraph is prophetic.

For a "non-profit" organisation, Mozilla is extremely focused on making/keeping the web a source of profits for a selected few.

Giant websites calling themselves "tech companies" are nothing like newspapers. Newspapers sold a product: journalism. Readers paid for newspapers. These giant websites do not sell a product. They do not hire journalists to produce news. These websites are free. If they chanrged for access few people would pay. They use the products of other peoples' labor as bait to lure in ad targets because the product of their own labor has no such value, it draws no significant audience. They are intermediaries, middlemen.

Mozilla wants to encourage and protect this behaviour, not change it. Make ads "private". Mozilla is along for the ride. Keep the money flowing.
A lot of the discourse and debate on wealth is missing this fact:

It's not that powers of 2 are more important. It's that there will never be, for example, a RAM chip that has 32GB of RAM. They will have 34.36GB, which is an ugly number. But, they happen to have a very nice, round number of bytes if you look at them otherwise - they have 32GiB. And since these two numbers are pretty close, and the clean power of two one is far more natural for humans than the SI one in this context, it was natural to just call it GB.
We offer a flexible pricing model designed to accommodate different business needs:

1. 30-day free trial: All users can try our full feature set for 30 days at no cost.

2. Early adopter discount: We're currently offering special pricing for early adopters to reward those who join us in our initial stages.

3. Free for non-profits: We provide our service free of charge to qualified non-profit organizations.

After the trial, we have paid plans tailored to different business sizes and needs. While we don't have a permanent free tier, we believe our early adopter discount makes Prismix accessible for small businesses and startups.

We're committed to providing value that exceeds the cost for all our users. As we grow and expand our features, we'll continually evaluate our pricing to ensure it remains competitive and fair.

Also they have become so integrated that airframes often no longer have a choice of engines.
The substance of my case is "this won't work, this provides no value to users, this is disclosing a non-zero number of bits of information about users, and this is nothing but attack surface area for potential information disclosure".

Once you have a non-zero number of bits flowing from the browser to advertisers, that's a path to try to extract more bits of identifying information than the browser intended to provide, by any number of means.

There will be lots of people trying to deanonymize users from the data. There will be warrants served to the intermediary. There will be attempted security breaches on the intermediary. Those are just a few bits of potential attack surface, all of which is entirely unnecessary.

It is possible to add traffic signals to roundabouts (in the UK the standard is TD 50 (DMRB 6.2.3)):

If one direction dominates, you can stop it and then let the others have a turn.
I'm an American who lived in the UK for a couple of years. They have many roundabouts there, and I love them. But now I live in an American town with a few, and I've realized that there's a reason that they are less safe in the US than in the UK--besides the fact that American drivers are less familiar with them. It's a solvable problem, but not one I've heard people talk about. (Though to be clear, I'm not a traffic engineer.)

Most American drivers are familiar with slip lanes, which allow drivers to make a right-hand turns without necessarily coming to a stop. (Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane. Note that the diagram shows an example from a country where they drive on the left side of the road.) They're convenient for drivers, but dangerous for anyone on foot or a bike. This is because a driver in a slip lane is looking for an opening in traffic in the direction opposite of the direction they're traveling.

A roundabout is basically an intersection made up of nothing but slip lanes. So they're fundamentally dangerous to pedestrians in the same way that a slip lane is, but the fact that vehicles are moving slower means that they're still safer than typical American intersections.

However, if I remember correctly (it's been over 20 years ago), in the UK they don't mix roundabouts and crosswalks. They'd put crosswalks (called "Zebra crossings": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_crossing) between intersections, where drivers aren't distracted by other things. I think we need to do that in the US as well if we're going to adopt roundabouts.
Because everything (except SSDs now a days) in a computer, on a fundamental level is either 0 or 1. So when you want something that maps to that, 2 to the power of 10 is exactly 1024 bits. Somewhere along the line, someone decided that accuracy of that mapping was more important than adherence to the exact meaning of kilo.

The alternative, would have been to use something else than kilo, mega ect., that represented the base 2 magnitudes. It would be awkward to say you have 8.306.688 bytes of ram if you need to be exact.
The zip does nothing on the roundabout.
bumper to bumper is very-rare, and it mostly happens momentarily due to pedestrian crossings placed directly after the entrance/exit of the roundabout.

What is actually super dangerous are the non-standard 2/3 lane roundabouts where the first lane gets "ejected" at the next/second exit forcibly, while the 2nd lane can either exit or continue on the roundabout, so many lorries in the 1st lane try to runover those in the 2nd lane trying to exit.

> there is no way that Musk being paid $54b for his actions in control of his companies

Except the people doing the actual paying, with their own money, voted twice to do it.
They don't have to be.
I agree with your final paragraph.

But how much Musk can make selling off his shares can be much higher or much lower than $200 billion, given that number is based on the, I think the term is "marginal price"?

If enthusiastic traders associate that price with Musk's own leadership skills (and his gaffes crashing Tesla's stock price suggests this is a factor), then the companies become much less valuable simply by having forced him to sell. The reverse is true for people who think SpaceX and Tesla would do much better without him.

And if Musk is as sincere about Mars and Optimus as I think he is (I think he's wrong, but sincerely so) then he should value each of Tesla and SpaceX in the trillions and believe that the stock market is just undervaluing them.
