Correct. Google's real concern was not that people wouldn't use them as their favorite search engine; it was that relying on Apple and Microsoft to be stewards of access to the web was a huge business risk because, hypothetically, if Apple or Microsoft decided to block google.com at the browser level (or pick your favorite equivalent scenario, like failing to implement a standard that Google absolutely was going to be relying upon to provide service), Google was screwed.

Chrome was a business risk mitigation move.
Computer programming books have a special place in my heart. I really like the idea of them. I think my brain is limited in how much it can retain from a book vs things I see and encounter daily though. My memory is optimized for urgent/important/daily use.

There’s a lot of non-programming books I really enjoy though as well.

Worth calling out that the big benefit is you basically lean on the service provider for streaming the data, without having to form a trust relationship between them and the receiver of the data.

That is, the entire point is to not put more compute between the requester and the data. The absolute worst place to be would be to have compute that is streaming from the data provider, so that they can stream to the end user.

Right?

Fair enough, it would be possible to scale up smaller towns, much smaller than Madison. However, I'm not sure that's practical, at least to the extent required to meet the housing shortage, for several reasons. First, the reason you already mentioned: "They may or may not have good local jobs." Second, there may not be enough home builders available in smaller towns. The builders themselves have to come from somewhere, and they're likely to be somewhat scarce the smaller and more remote the town.

I just don't think the conspiracy that the OP postulated, "We all want our properties to increase in value so we collectively conspire to suppress supply" is a very plausible explanation when applied in general to the entire country. For example, again in the Madison area, most of the home building is occurring not in the city proper but rather out in the suburbs and exurbs, which are independently governed. Indeed, in a fast-growing suburb, the property values can actually increase as homes are built and the town becomes a more desirable place to live.
"Let's do nothing then. Let's all just let the megacorporations write their own laws and manage themselves autonomously with no consumer or competition protections at all. Why bother."

> are how you underline when you can't underline

Underscores/underline were a hint on a manuscript to the typesetter that you wanted italic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underscore). It later became a way to add emphasis (either italic or bold styling) on typewriters as there wasn't a practical way to have bold and italic versions of every character on a mechanical typewriter.

Most professionally typeset content (i.e., optimised for legibility through years of experience rather than just whatever your word processor will allow) will not contain underlined content (https://practicaltypography.com/underlining.html).

Satellites in general. Once you've built out a ground infrastructure for a spacecraft, it makes zero sense to ever make dramatic changes to it. The risk is too high.

In 2015 I worked on a piece of software that was related to command and control of the Cassini spacecraft that ran on Sun Solaris machines. That infrastructure would have been first brought up prior to launch in 1997.

Granted, I have to assume that these were not the original physical computers and that there are still ways even today to source new solaris machines for exactly this type of scenario, but still.

This is so true. I'd anonymously pump 50 cents into those paywalls on a daily basis if that were a way to gain access to an article, but the only online option any newspaper or magazine I know of provides is an auto-renewing subscription of $5-10 a month, with the deal being a bit better if you go annual. Problem is, there are like 6,000 newspapers and magazines in the country whose articles I might stumble upon and like to read. No, I'm not subscribing to the Akron Times, the San Diego Tribune, and the Boston Herald just because someone linked me an article from each today.

It's only absurd if it's ran as a public-private cooperative. The government directly running something like this can be every bit as efficient as what any private entity could do.

It's not as if the gov doesn't already employ in several sectors skilled software developers. It only goes haywire when Reagan/Clinton style "Send it to the private businesses" policies get in the way.

When you start talking about a constrained resource like this, it only makes sense to move it to the only entity without profit as its primary motivation.
Say it were a 6 disk pool and you add an object to a database (with the goal of doing many of these as fast as possible with fsync to the disks):

- Receive the new data

- Read the multiple disks to get the current stripe(s) associated with it.

- Calculate the new parity

- Issue the multiple writes

- Wait for completion, clear that from RAM

Looking at a single write it doesn't seem so bad. You take something like ~128k in from the disks per stripe (which will arrive it ever so slightly different times and be held as that thread stalls before the calc), issue a bunch of writes, wait for that to clear while the result remains in memory (cache or RAM), then you're good to clear it out and that thread/coroutine task can process the next one. "Just" 3 GB/s is ~23,000/s of that - doing those multiple reads into RAM, parity writes into RAM (well, unless you can stick it all in massive L3 by keeping queue depths low), and caching until spat out on to the drive. On a normal non-parity setup you just have your data to be written sit and go to disk, no intermediate reads/writes.

This may not make sense on a home box but consider the approach more an alternative to solutions like https://www.graidtech.com/product/sr-1000/ which are single cards that can get a million RAIDed IOPS written at near 100 GB/s in a single PCIe slot alone with no additional load to the CPU. Just writing 100 GB/s takes a CPU core and most of the RAM bandwidth from a raw data creation/parsing perspective before talking about writing it to disk at all, it's a different problem than e.g. what the bandwidth looks like on a home NAS pool. This type of approach tries to do something similar without the extra device in-between the cards and the server.

Sometimes you also want to take the above approach and scale it out over many 100G/400G ethernet ports so your flash storage pools are reachable over network separate from compute nodes. Here the goal is to make that storage solution as dense, fast, and efficient as possible where you might want to load as much possible storage as you can on a single node until it saturates the bandwidth to the CPU. If you can do that without doubling back data to the CPU you can scale it that much better.

Don't use cloud, use these two other clouds. This right here is the issue, the skills and know how to buy hardware, install it in a data center, and get it on the internet are niche beyond niche.

Entering the world where you're dealing with Cogent, your Dell and Fortinet reps, suddenly having strong opinions about iDRAC vs iLO and hardware RAID is well beyond what anyone wants to care about just to run some web servers.

When people talk about major cloud providers being expensive the alternative is never /really/ to do it yourself but move to a discount hosting provider. And it's not as if there isn't savings to be found there but it's just another form of cloud optimization. We're talking about a story where $100 of spend triggers an alert. The difference is so minuscule.

This is ignoring the question of "what is the value of news for most people?"

It is clearly of high value for people that can to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, most decisions people are making are not informed by the news. Such that any attempt to get people to pay for it will be difficult.
That's pretty much the difference between restoration and conservation.

It's not about conserving the original parts (though often people restoring something will do that as much as possible) it's about restoring it to what it would have looked like or how it would have worked originally.

Both conservation and restoration are important parts of appreciating history.

I think it's because people don't find news through news sites anymore. They find news through a third-party, like Reddit, and then want to read a single article. Then you're prompted with a paywall that requires you to dedicate yourself to a single news company (or have multiple companies) and pay them $4 to $40 / mo - usually on the cheap-but-then-expensive-in-6-months-when-you-forget model).

I would absolutely pay for news if I could get an aggregate subscription that covers all the major players *OR* if I could pay per-article from a centralized grab-bag.

I don't want to see an interesting topic and then need to go to the NYT to see their take on it. I just want to see an interesting topic and read that view of it - maybe read several views of it (and happily pay for each one).
That would solve some of the problems. If the site was previously behind a CDN with a rate limit, I don't think we would have even had this problem.

Given that we have the problem now, and that people already have the non-CDN URLs, we needed a solution that allowed us to roll out something ASAP, while allowing people that use our API to continue using the image URLs they've downloaded.

Do you have any theoretical arguments for how and why it would improve it? If not, my concern is that you're just sucking the air out of the room. (Research into "throw a large language model at the problem" doesn't tend to produce any insight that could be used by other approaches, and doesn't tend to work, but it does funnel a lot of grant funding into cloud providers' pockets.)
They do fail and you should have redundancy and backup but there isn't a real point to do the optimization that the article describes.

6th gen Civics are the ones from 2006-2010, which are fantastic, and notably better than the following generation that was drastically cut down thanks to Honda freaking out about the great recession.

The CR-Zs are awesome! I believe the 2011s use LiON batteries, which ironically are supposedly more reliable than the NiMH batteries they were using prior (and in my Civic). Apparently Toyota had patents on their prismatic batteries, and Honda was stuck using D-cell style NiMH ones which were poorly cooled.

The poor cooling caused them to slowly drift their state of charge, but because they were wired in series, there was no way for the battery management system to rebalance them, resulting in horrible capacity loss. Worse yet, Honda didn't include an alternator in my Civic, and the 12v battery was intended to be charged by the hybrid battery + IMA.

Guess who had a fun time when the car shut off in the middle of the highway (!!) on the way to work? Thankfully CA mandates a 10y/150k mi warranty on PZEV powertrains!

Everything but the hybrid part of my Civic is great, and I no longer need to drive to work, so I don't use it all that much. Hoping it lasts long enough that by the time I need to replace it I have tons of options to pick from.

It doesn't even need to be everything. to be honest I'm not really interested in paying for current events from any outlet, as I am simply not a news junkie, but if I could get some kinda combo deal for the publications that are frequent fliers in Sunday Longreads I would go for it.

In the olden days papers would target people like me who only occasionally read news with good headlines on the front and a low price for that day's print run. Now they are asking for a subscription (which is too much to pay for a single article) and acting like the archival value add is worth it to me (it isnt).

Local newspapers should not be used as a point of comparison. When we subscribed to the city newspaper, it easily paid for itself in coupons and awareness of sales.

I think it would be very difficult to set rigor (truth?) standards.

I'm also curious how lying by omissions, which is the biggest problem I perceive, would be handled.

I wonder... if you do something with AGPL that requires releasing the changes back ... you don't need to sign a CLA to do that.

However that would also mean that the core project couldn't accept your changes without the CLA since that would also bind them to never switching the license or relicensing your contributions for an enterprise license.

... I think. My head hurts when trying to consider the implications for CLAs and AGPL and the endless debates that lawyers could have over this.
There is a museum near me that does the required maintenance on some of the planes they have to keep them in theoretical working condition. I like that I am looking at "real" planes, not just empty shells with the guts ripped out or decayed. Maybe one day they will actually be flown.

Much easier to restore fully in the future if they are maintained now.
There’s a difference between not flyable, flyable but not certified, fly able and certified. Each step is a big cost difference. But many hobbyist can get from one to two depending on the tech used.

I think the issue is about risk management and, potentially, that is why top funds are below QQQ.

But, following your main point, I agree that this cycle of tech could be very different of past cycles. We are at a point where the tech market has already reached the whole human civilization and the room for growth is not so obvious. I also have the hypothesis that there are no more ads to show! For example, Google has bombarded us with zillions of ads and there is a point where it is intolerable. The TV suffered a similar effect in the past. Finally, there is no more free lunch on sharing personal data and compliance measures will increase. In the past, the tech sector was almost completely immune of regulations.
At October, 1970, the provisional figures of average weekly earnings of full-time manual workers were £28 Os. 11d. for men aged 21 years and over, and £13 19s. 10d. for women aged 18 years and over. Between October, 1965 and October, 1970, average earnings of all workers covered by the regular inquiry rose by 45.9 per cent. and the general index of retail prices by 26.4 per cent.
https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1971/jan/...

So it would have been around a decent chunk of your weekly wage as an average worker, it sounds like. I think what we would need to know is how much excess income someone would have for something like that at the time.
