Not an expert by any means but there are a few factors:

1) the data sent between two nodes should be encrypted. As stated by reticulum and nomad devs, the software is in beta so privacy-violating bugs are possible, but theoretically the messages and identities can't be read by an outside agent.

2) the 33cm band[1] is not, from my brief research and basic knowledge of amateur radio, in wide use outside of hobbyists. It may be that in some places you would be the only person within a large radius actually using the band, meaning your signals stand out quite a bit to an astute observer. They would be able to triangulate the location of the transmitters with some work, but again, theoretically they could not read the communications.

So there are several opsec concerns for someone who doesn't want to draw attention to themselves.

Crap. I used to think being alive was better than being dead. But come to think of it, the only ones complaining are the ones who are still alive. I’m conflicted now.
The network stack used in this article is called Reticulum. Reticulum can operate over really any medium that has a MDU of 500 bytes, and a throughput greater than 5 bits.

I've performed this exact test using two HF radio nodes equipped with NVIS antennas operating on the 40 meter band, with each radio 144 km (90 miles) separate in distance. Node 1 was out in the field while Node 2 was back at my house. Node 2 was able to act as a bridge to the outside TCP Testnet.

>I heard facebook doesn't allow emails with "facebook" in them.

Where, exactly, did you hear that?. I can confirm that's not the case.

My FB email address is a bare 'facebook@myemaildoman' and hasn't been a problem. Ever.

That said, I set that as my FB email address more than a decade ago, so I guess things may have changed since then.

1. I'm a real American who is very easy to find. I've been on HN for a decade. I'm the easiest person on earth to find.

2. If you bothered to look up my other social media, you'd see that I'm vocally anti-Russia. If I was the US president, Ukraine would have aircraft carriers, F35s, and a couple thermonuclear warheads by now.

3. As an American, who likes American things like free speech and blowing up Russians, I can also notice and object when traditional bastions of liberty like the UK turn into fascist states who arrest people for posting on Facebook.

That's a good point. The ASF's FAQ [1] states that "All software developed by all projects of The Apache Software Foundation is freely available without charge" and that it "is specified in the Foundation's Articles of Incorporation [2]", however I see no such specification in the linked incorporation. Is there some actual legal guarantee there?

No, that's not possible. Google pays $20 billion to Safari to be the default search engine. Imagine how much they would pay an independent Chrome, which has many multiples of Safari's market share. That alone guarantees it would be an incredibly viable business model.

Reconcile Liebniz too. I agree this sounds awesome.
The difference with the ASF/FSF is that they are non-profits with a mission statement (and, if we don't trust that enough--due to OpenAI, as I don't entirely understand what happened there--with clearly-mission-aligned board leadership) that prevent them from pulling the rug out from under their license. (...and, right as I pushed this comment, I see that someone else looked into it, and maybe the ASF fails to have such a clause anywhere ;P but hopefully it is there and just a bit hidden.)
Well, as a [former] creative, myself, I don't think that I'd consider what I did, "collecting rent on IP."

Schmidt said: "Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning. The reason startups work is because the people work like hell."

Which is complete bullshit of course.

And his so-called apology is equally bullshit: "I misspoke about Google and their work hours. I regret my error."

The article goes on to say "Schmidt said he asked for the video to be taken down."

The reason I responded is your original post gave the impression that you think any workload in the cloud will be cheaper on your own hardware.

Which is not true.

I am reluctant to try to make any assumptions about the workflow here since I would assume they had ran the numbers to estimate what their cost would be. Possibly looking at their utilization.

The nature of what they built does seem to be like it would be a burst application. But the details on that are not here and are just assumptions on both of our parts.

Admittedly I responded do you because of this response to your post also:

> anyone intentionally migrating infrastructure to the cloud in 2024 hasnt seen the bill, or is spending the taxpayers pound.

Which again is a simplification of the situation. It’s a blanket statement that seems more anti cloud than reality.

Yes there are workloads that make sense to run on your own hardware, but many, many exist that don’t make sense either.

CockroachDB is basically "run postgres on a cluster with more fault tolerance" - you can have machines (or entire datacenters) going down, netsplits etc. and as long as there's enough infra up to keep going, it will.

Presumably only a small subset of postgres users really need this feature - and those that do, are big enough to need an enterprise licence.

This is not my area of expertise, but I feel like a really nice property of the LoRA mesh is that they are low-power and come in a small form factor. I feel like it can be kinda hard to enforce a crack down on a mesh like this when people can stick a small solar panel and throw a gajillion of them atop buildings or on/under apt'mt balconies w/o even the building owners necessarily knowing they are there.
The starting assumption for everyone should be that there's no longer any privacy.
In that case it's poor reasoning and they can do better.
Have you actually ran any Google or Facebook ads? I have, for my target market, and I made more money in return than I spent on ads, so obviously it works, by definition of these companies existing, independent of whatever the companies say themselves.
Etsy is pretty slick, although lately I've heard it has similar (but not the same) product/seller trust issues as Amazon.

iHerb has a somewhat Amazon-like UI but noticeably less cluttered and more structured. It highlights a minimum "best by" date, which is also a guarantee that goes beyond pure UI design but provides the kind of customer-friendly interface that informs rather than confuses.

I usually find Webstaurant product listings pretty informative and much cleaner.

From Big Tech, Google & Apple may not have a comparable physical goods marketplace but the marketplaces they do have - books and applications - are much cleaner and more focused than their Amazon counterparts.

Of course, the gold standard is McMaster-Carr.

I know Amazon is more successful than those examples. Microsoft Windows is also much more successful than its competitors, but I don't think most people would see that and argue "the point of an OS/software is not to be easy to use or convenient or understandable". Certainly it's not the point of Windows but I'd say that's because competition involves factors unrelated to quality and quality is multi-dimensional, not because quality is "not the point".

I guess that's true, I didn't think about that. But i think that you'd probably not be using cockroachdb if you were fine with what postgres offers. Cockroach might be compatible, but it really isn't "comparable" in terms of use cases and deployment imo. I might be totally wrong though, I have not been following it and Postgres closely since some time around 2021?

The article touches on the versatility of E. coli, but doesn't explicitly mention the extreme diversity within what we call E. coli.

Even just within the subset of E. coli which causes UTI's, 25-40% of the genome varied between strains. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5653229/)

This diversity wasn't really appreciated in 2008 when many E. coli genomes hadn't been sequenced yet.

Is that how business works?

Let’s pretend you’re a paying customer of image generation AI. Are the guardrails that prevent you from making images of 9/11 the thing that is your biggest pain point?

I think the biggest pain point or “feature request” for an AI image generation customer would be to be able to generate more accurate, higher quality, “better” images.

We are talking about someone who is willing to pay enough money to make AI a profitable product rather than an exercise in selling $5 of compute cycles for $1.

Of course, there are plenty of porn-oriented AI image generators that serve the particular market interested in fewer guardrails and they do benefit from having that particular form of censorship removed.

But really, other than that, what is the business case of “it’s just like DALE-E but not quite as good, but on the plus side there are fewer guardrails so I can make edgy content?”

To me that’s just describing a product that is worse. Like, great, you made some 13 year old boys with no money dicking around with your compute happy. That’s not a viable business.

The forced telemetry on the unpaid version is a good enough reason to opt out of ever considering their product, if there’s an option to do so.

If they don’t respect me before I pay them, why would I believe they’ll respect me more after I pay them? (Yes, I know that telemetry “isn’t required” on a paid product-which, conveniently, they won’t even provide an idea of a price for but instead just ask you to “contact them”)
In the broadest sense, an app that "can not cause harm" can't do anything useful. To the industry's dominant players, "causing harm" means empowering the user to venture outside their walled gardens... or even to see outside them.

This Optical Scanning system is a disaster in tight races. I would know. I was a volunteer in the Tiffany Caban queens election back in 2019 and I saw first hand how in a close race this system allows the more politically connected parties to push outsiders out by disregarding ballots that may have had any possible ambiguity: For example, there was a mustard stain on a ballot and the scanner tossed it out as invalid, it was only discovered after a lawsuit was filed and a manual count was done. In the end there were enough ambiguous ballots where they could not reach the voter that it swung the election to Caban's opponent.

Instead if you had DRE with Paper Trail generated by the machine like NJ has switched to, then you could have a clean concise re-count with no ambiguity.
How is that a rumour? That's literally how the Investment 1 and 2 resident visa worked before 2022 when they finally scrapped the program. You invest at least NZD $750,000 in growth investments.

Chrome and Android are particularly interesting to me. What would splitting those projects off from Google possibly look like?

Both are open source projects with "ungoogled" options available, but those options are nowhere near as successful as the Google flavors. Would they just forbid Google from offering their own flavor of Chromium?

Even though Android itself is open source, Google Play services really are what allow Google to have so much influence on the Android platform. So what happens to Google Play? Would they be forced to split that off with Android? Would they be forced to continue offering their services for free, but with no strings attached? Would Android have to offer a middleware that lets you choose which services to use a la carte? Would Android device manufacturers have to ship their devices with an open source alternative to Google Play like microG?

How do you separate Google from Android without driving everyone to the other side of the smartphone duopoly, iOS?

If a breakup does happen, it's going to be wild. I wish I had more faith in our government to come up with the best solution. But something has to be done.

> How is it in the interest of the Ukrainians to trigger this invasion? Russia has always made it clear that Ukraine was a red line for what it sees as NATO encroachment on its borders.

This is completely false. "NATO encroachment" is a VERY recent talking point which is part of the neo-fascist narrative that Russia developed attempting to excuse its own inadequacies. You should google Foundations of Geopolitics which is basically a Russian version of Mein Kampf. This book is required reading for majority of Russian politicians, diplomats and high ranking military officials. Before Russia decided that it wanted to pursue a fascist state, NATO was not on its agenda at all.

>>At its core, the quote encapsulates the spirit of tolerance, understanding, and respect for differing opinions, even when they clash with our own beliefs and values.

This is simply wrong.

"Your right to say it" addresses the principle that you are free to express your opinion.

It does not, however, entitle you to be free from the hatred of others for holding such an opinion.

Example (not sure why one is needed):
You say: "Adults should be free to engage in sex with children no matter how young"

While you have the right to hold the opinion and to try to lobby to change the laws, you are not entitled to demand a right for others to accept you a friend or want you as a co-employee, or for society not to ostrasize you.

Individuals, and society at large, has the right to reject your views and to decide that anyone who holds such views is not someone worthy of their respect.
