The revenue driver as a driver for freemium tier is interesting as it seems like it would require company to regularly disclose their revenue to CockroachDB which looks intrusive.

your name is extremely ironic next to your post
You seem to have lost sight of the original context of our discussion. The thread began with the assertion that 'Adult children is the vernacular', which I questioned. My point throughout has been consistent: age descriptors for relatives are typically only used when relevant to the context.

You've contradicted yourself. Initially, you implied that not specifying age was 'arrogant'. Now you state, 'When it is germane to the topic at hand I will mention the age of my offspring.' This aligns precisely with my original argument.

Your mischaracterisation of my position as 'there are either adults or children, nothing else' is a straw man argument. I never made such a claim. My stance has always been about the contextual use of age descriptors.

Regarding the post history: I noticed your comment on the same page, which aligned with our discussion. It wasn't 'trawling', but a relevant observation.

Your verbose response, filled with personal attacks and misrepresentations, doesn't change the fact that you've effectively conceded my point: age descriptors are used when contextually relevant. This was my argument from the start, which you initially contested but now seem to agree with.

If you'd like to have a genuine discussion about linguistic practices, I'm open to it. But that would require acknowledging the actual points being made, rather than constructing elaborate misinterpretations.
Well, it's definitely an improvement over raw dogging deserialized pickled ML models.
Not only that, but according to the licence agreement, there are "technical countermeasures" to stop you from using the product if you were to block telemetry with a firewall (presumably it stops working if the telemetry server doesn't send back an acknowledgement), and "You understand and agree that Licensor may use and disclose personal information collected as part of Telemetry in accordance with Licensor's Privacy Policy" ... wait, what?

While the examples are all valid, the restrictions don't apply on mobile Safari. Why do corporations and devs continue to accept a share cropper role by paying Apple to host native apps?

FirefoxOS had the right idea, make the browser the principal gateway for applications. It was a decade ahead of its time, but the mobile web is now at a level where native apps aren't needed for the most part.
The precedent is that every browser out there currently has one of:

- integration to ad infrastructure

- integration to the vendor's other service infrastructure

- a cost of more than $0

Given that the market is full of people who will only bear $0, the likely conclusion is that a Chrome separated from the ability to integrate to vendor infrastructure will turn to integrating to someone's ad infrastructure (more poorly and less securely than Chrome currently integrates to Google's infra).
The larger point is youTube should sell its own ads. As should search. Double click as an agency that sells ads for other websites shouldn't be allowed to sell to the previous google properties, and vice versa.
Netron is awesome and works for a lot of other formats. It's been surprising how often I have used it for quickly debugging model inputs.
That's a lot of good information, and I'm no scholar of the various -isms, but are the above attributed directly to Marxism (and I'm not sure where the boundaries lie between Marxism, Communism and Socialism), or should they be attributed to malevolent dictatorships?

... My assumption is that you believe, and above is all evidence pointing in this direction, that Marxism leads to malevolent dictatorships.

Whilst the example of the actions above aren't literal examples of what Marx espouses, they're the end result of societies that have attempted to pursue Marxist ideals. Emergent behaviour.

To be ridiculously reductionist, if Capitalism gets us Epstein and Communism gets us the stats you've provided, I know what I'd choose for my family (hint: being alive beats any alternative).

There is a simple explanation for this within their canon, similar to how it works with religions - my conspiracy theory is the real one, the others are all wrong and/or planted by the baddies of my conspiracy theory.

There are sometimes fun crossover episodes between different conspiracy theories. But as soon as some incongruency between them forms a flaw in logic that you pointed out, it instantly goes to “yup, they are wrong, and my conspiracy is the right one.”
YouTube has a thousand to a million times more copyrighted content than Megaupload ever had. And no, not all of it is via partnerships with the copyright holders. Kim's problem apparently was that he didn't bribe Congress.

> For me I need to be able to spin up several hundred high power GPU instances for a few hours and then it’s quiet for a couple week.

That's great. For you and your application. Nobody is saying there is NO application where the cloud makes sense. I certainly didn't say that. But, there are many, many, applications where IaaS/PaaS ends up being much more expensive than on prem and where the flexibility of the cloud is, if not completely irrelevant, just not worth the extra cost.

I'm guessing the scale-out needs of the UK's notification app are going to fall squarely in the category of "way more expensive to run in the cloud," but, hey, who knows? Maybe they sign their notifications in some blockchain ledger on every second Tuesday from 8 - 9:17 AM and need to rent some GPUs occasionally.

There are big differences in the details there. I suggest you go to the Megaupload Wikipedia article and go to the “basis of indictment” section.

Megaupload wasn’t even hiding behind a legitimate use case. It couldn’t be used as a personal file storage service because infrequently downloaded files would be deleted. The company paid people to upload popular files. The service had a comprehensive CSAM takedown process but no such process for copyright infringement.

Basically, the US government was saying that Megaupload’s intent was extremely obvious.

Sites like Crunchyroll and YouTube which started off being a haven for piracy had DCMA compliance as their shield. They complied with requests to take down content and weren’t building the entire business around infringement.

Plex doesn’t enable you to distribute content beyond your household, and it’s also facilitating legal personal backups of commercial content.

Google Play Music (and iTunes for that matter) were the same thing: making backups of your music is completely legal. Google Play wasn’t telling you to jump on LimeWire to illegally download your music.

And arguably not worth doing. Tomorrow may never come -- you could get hit by a bus driving home today.

Studies show that a lot of poor people spend money immediately because their lives are often crazy uncertain and trying to balance and pay debts -- which they may never pay off -- doesn't get them anywhere. Blow the money on a new xbox now, because even if they pay the rent today they probably won't be able to stop eviction next quarter.... but at least they have an xbox, and can take that with them to the next flophouse.

Trello, once made for developers by developers, has announced that some time this August they will disable the markdown editor on desktop and force you to use the WYSIWYG one.

I was talking about Megaupload vs. MEGA.

>This failure to remove the underlying file was not a technical limitation.

This, and the rest of your comment makes sense in 2024, but not around 2010.

Back then:

* All file sharing platforms had this exact problem. This was the problem at the time. You were even able to find full length movies on YouTube quite easily. They were eventually removed, but it was a long, manual and tedious process. Even today, this is still not completely solved.

* Most of these companies (including the "good ones"™ like YouTube) thrived under this (unlawful) sharing of copyrighted content. Measures against it were being actively developed and tested and there was a big backslash from the platform's users as they were being introduced, i.e. it wasn't an armchair software engineer's "easy problem". When these platforms incorrectly labeled and removed content due to copyright infringement, it was a bit of a scandal, with many of these events reaching the news and people boycotting platforms and threatening lawsuits.

* Piracy was huge compared to today, torrents were almost the norm. Not trying to justify it, just trying to put in context what internet users used the internet for. If we are fair, Kim was not the one uploading the restricted content to Megaupload, neither encouraging it. The "market" was there, with or without Megaupload. I would even go as far as to suggest a wild point of view where Megaupload was actually a victim of piracy as well.

* A lot of legislation around this was not in place and/or mature enough. Some landmark cases around Section 230 were just starting to take shape. It was not black or white clear whether a platform should be responsible for its content or not and what are the legal requirements for them to address this liability.

* The overall sentiment of tech people (even in communities like this one) was that internet services should behave like utilities, in spirit; I still believe this to be the right approach. It follows from that that whatever misuse of them made by end users should hold them liable and not the utility provider.

You do not. This has been established for quite some time. You’re not forced to purchase Apple. If you like Apple, you know you’re getting the ecosystem that comes with it. Honestly the App Store is already garbage with the heavy amount of moderation it has. I can’t imagine what a cesspool it would be without that oversight.

Admittedly, I’m a fan of this approach. I like it. If I didn’t, I just wouldn’t buy Apple products. I’m not sure why that’s so hard for people.

Push notifications.

For hobbyist compiler implementations, right? Compilers for the most popular languages are either written in C/C++, or self-hosted.

You can write compilers in almost any language. I fail to see how C, C++, or even Java or Python aren’t the right tool for the job here. I like pattern matching too, but given that hundreds of successful production compilers have been written without pattern matching, it’s surely just a personal preference.

> HIPAA has done net harm by delaying flow of information for critical-care patients resulting in lack of patient compliance, confusion, and treatment error.

You won't find any disagreement from me that HIPAA is very complicated. However there's a certain level of whining and foot dragging that happens in the industry that we should take with a massive grain of salt. There's so many HIPAA compliant and still convenient ways these days to have patient communications, but the industry doesn't want to invest and doesn't care about patience experience enough, and then go "sorry, HIPAA :-(((" every time.

With GDPR, after Schrems II happened and it became clearer that the EU-US Privacy Shield was no longer a valid workaround, I personally observed companies (including the one I was in) suddenly moving mountains to complete migration projects and privacy upgrades in just a few months that the industry previously deemed was technically unfeasible or impossible, cost prohibitive, business destroying, etc. And they still remained massively profitable and growing. If they had just done the right thing early on it wouldn't have been on such a tight deadline either.

That was the final straw for me in terms of being very firmly convinced that we should be telling companies to shut up and comply a lot more because they will never do the right thing on their own even if it wasn't /that/ hard. Another approach here is to start holding them liable for the personal costs of data breaches etc and let the incentives take care of themselves. In fact, why not a bit of both?
If Apple cared about privacy ssh would be well supported OOTB and you'd be able to build your apps from the source.

There's no way to do this, even if you pay all the fees push notifications won't work unless you publish to the app store and that will get rejected for being a duplicate.

Markdown is build on popular custom syntax from mails and other message-platforms. WhatsApp is probably doing the same.

This isn’t a good argument since extremely few creatives get obscenely rich and few creatives are even able to generate a decent income to do things like being able to buy a home.

Show HN: Queue/Cron as a service built on Postgres
I've built a small queue/cron service that you can use in your backend or serverless code to handle async (do it later) or scheduled jobs.

So many times I've had to hack a simple queue/scheduling solution based on MongoDB, Postgres, Redis or whatever data storage we had on the project. It was always not enough volume to justify deploying a dedicated solution, but tasks were important enough that we needed a persistent storage. You know, stuff like send out reminder emails, monthly invoices, cleanup old data, etc.

So I've built a small multi-tenant queueing service based on PostgreSQL, so I don't have to do it again.

My priority was that it is:

-> super simple to use (simple SDKs & REST api)

-> cheap and "pay as you go"

-> has "unlimited" plan, so you know your max price

-> has a nice UI to check what's going on with your jobs

Queueing engine is open source and you can check it out here: https://github.com/marekpiechut/pgqueue

It's currently in open beta and there's an SDK ready for JS/Express/Next.js with plan to add Golang and Java soon. You can register and test it out here: https://lambdaqueue.com

Truth -- running real rental businesses ain't easy. Renting out your former condo or something, a one-off, may not be hard, but it rapidly gets messy.

e.g. VTSAX doesn't have tenants who strip the copper out of the house and leave water running to spite you as you evict them.

VTSAX doesn't for you to pay tenants triple if you don't follow / screw up rental laws.

VTSAX has a fairly small fee compared to what property managers charge.
