Ah, sorry, lscpu shows:
L3: 64 MiB (2 instances)

I originally thought that meant 64MB x 2, but it means 64MB total (32MB x 2). Still 64MB is 500 times larger than 128KB stripe and I/O normally happens on a wide variety of cores, and should only be required for stripe that are in flight. Server (normally with 5x or more cores than my 12 core desktop) and way more bandwidth (24 channels instead of my 2) will have much more cache and much more bandwidth.

> Yes, this - not the other. It's achieved by not writing things back to RAM again before they hit (comparatively slow to RAM) flash pool.

Why should the stripes be written to ram? The write should enter kernel space (write is a system call), then the software RAID driver does the calculation and then the write to the devices memory space. The PCIe connected NVMe controller is not cache coherent and can't safely read main memory, which might be cached.

I took a closer look at the original post, they seem to be considering the tiny write, which requires a read/modify/write. Said operation is pretty inefficient, and linux tries to avoid this with caching, but certainly is needed sometimes. I've not seen any analysis on what fraction of I/O to production RAID system is R/M/W instead of a normal read or write.

Even in the R/M/W case, a stripe is read by the software-RAID driver, the write is masked onto the strip, and a new checksum is calculated. Then the stripe is sent back to the I/O space for each involved NVMe controller. So a 4KB write (common minimum size) requires reading 128-256KB, doing the checksum, and writing it back to the device.

It does tip the scales more towards hardware RAID, but that's always been true for hardware RAID, which very often ends up slower than software RAID for previously discusses reasons.
SQLite is the most widely used database in the world. Full stop.
Back when most writers used typewriters, the convention was to use the underscore to mark text that was to be italicized. And because they were using typewriters, they would backspace to the first letter of a word or phrase, then type the underscore under each characters to be italicized. When computers came along, backspace worked differently (back up, replace character with space), so the convention was to start and end the word/phrase with an underscore, _like this_.

Using asterisks for bold is again an adaptation for computers. With typewriters, you could just back up and retype the word/phrase to get a bolder look (maybe a few times to really make it stand out).
I think you should build your argument a little bit more.

I’d say, why not say that also for drug cartels? The only reasonable argument that comes to my mind is that some big cartel head might have local government influence, but that does not apply to Kim and New Zealand, right?

Another possible argument would be that the damage has been done elsewhere. But in the case of the dtug cartel, if there are victims in 20 countries that why would any third party have priority for enforcing their law?

I'm not familiar with Cloudflare R2, so I'll have to check it out. I do like that we can rate limit based on either User ID requesting an image from the API, or by IP address.

That's badly outdated pricing data.

The daily edition of the New York Times now runs $2 at a news stand, best I can make out.[1]

Note that the print Sunday edition was (and is) massively underwritten by advertising, which comprises the bulk of the issue, 60--90% by column inch or weight.

That's false. FATCA only applies to American taxpayers like U.S. businesses[1], citizens, greencard holders, and other residents [2]. It does not apply to nonresident illegal aliens, former citizens, or nonresident former greencard holders.

[1] In this context, including foreign businesses that file a U.S. tax return.
[2] Note that for FATCA purposes, if a person is a US taxpayer for any portion of the year, they are subject to FATCA compliance purposes for that tax year no matter how much of that year was actually spent as a US taxpayer. However, if they are not a US taxpayer at the end of the year, they would not be subject to FATCA compliance for the following year.

This is fantastic. I once dreamed of making a generic interface card that could be programmed at will, using, say, a raspberry pi.

When exactly has funding EVER been raised for any of those things??

That's one of the biggest political fights in the past century: austerity, cutting public spending, and means-testing the fuck out of every social program the government even still offers. This has been the case since the 80s reagan-thatcher year. You can literally look at the budgets of major cities and easily see where the majority of spending goes. Hint: it ain't public schools. Were you not paying attention when people were talking about how much police departments get paid out of the budgets of their cities a couple years back? Have you EVER thought to actually substantiate your beliefs by actually looking up the policies that effect public spending and government budgets?

Is the answer "no"?

And it isn't just a problem with funding, it's a legislative and cultural problem too. But in the short term, without drafting up new laws or changing the culture of society, the best we can do to fix these issues is provide more funding.

>Your entire argument is akin to "oh, I hired someone to kill a guy in the Germany, but I'm in China so...too bad". They only care because someone was killed (pirated material was hosted) in Germany, breaking Germany's laws.

What would normally happen in that case is that one country would present evidence to the other country, which would then prosecute under its own laws and court system, since hiring assassins is illegal everywhere. You're the one who's delusional if you think countries have free reign to impose their laws on people who are not physically there. It's called sovereignty.

The solution is to break them both up but you cannot do that at the same time because they are different kinds of monopolies that require separate government attention. Your assumption that we need to allow one megacorporation to get even more evil to take on another evil megacorporation is silly. End megacorporations instead of empowering them to maybe fight each other (or maybe just collude like in the $20B annual Safari search payment.)
With an ETF, I can hold it for 20 years, and the value keeps compounding.

However, with this other method, each annual rebalance takes value out of the account. Unless I'm sure I can outperform an ETF with this active rebalancing, this tool would have worse outcomes.

If I am trying to optimize my portfolio, it seems I should choose ETFs that are composed of the equities I want and use current income to attempt to rebalance (e.g. purchase underperforming equities, instead of selling high performing equities to buy underperforming ones).

This tool seems like a worse strategy?

We've had three decades of micropayments proposals, none have worked.[1] Traditionally, publishers have strongly trended toward aggregated rather than disaggregated payment models: you pay for a full issue of a publication at the newsstand, you pay for a year-long subscription of a print publication. Or these days of online publications and streaming services, should you choose to do so.

Superbundling (e.g., a single fee providing universal access), a universal content tax, and/or a fee assessed by ISPs (if at all possible indexed to typical household wealth within an area) strike me as far more tractable options.

Among the elements of a tax-based system is that there are in fact multiple taxing jurisdictions, and access might be spread amongst them, and through multiple mechanisms. Public libraries already exhibit some of this, with funding being provided at the local (city/county), state, and federal levels, as well as other aggregations such as regional library coalitions, academic institutions and districts (particularly community and state postsecondary institutions), and others.[2] There's also the option of indirect support, which is what mechanisms such as mandatory legal notices entailed: a jurisdiction could require public posting of various sorts (fictitious names, legal settlements and actions, etc.) which effectively require private parties to pay for the upkeep of a newspaper. Similarly, discount "book rate" postage was a distribution subsidy offered to publishers of not only books but newspapers and magazines within the U.S. That's less an issue given the Internet, but the spirit of that idea might be adopted.

The idea of local papers which can rely on some level of multi-jurisdictional tax funding, perhaps some charitable or foundational support, advertising, subscriptions, obligatory notices, bespoke research, and other funding sources would give multiple independent funding channels which would be difficult to choke off entirely. That seems far healthier than the present system.
