That's not a fair analogy though. To be fairer, you'd have to monitor said footpath 24/7 and have a robot and/or a number of people removing milk crate signs that you deemed inappropriate for your foothpath. They'd also move various milk crate signs in front of people as they walked and hide others.

If you were indeed monitoring the footpath for milk crate signs and moving them, yes you may be liable for showing or not removing one to someone it wouldn't be appropriate for.

I’m curious how big Nvidia stock compensation was prior to the spike compared to FAANG.

My sense historically would be that the stock compensation would be a lot smaller than FAANG, so the spike multiple would put it above FAANG but it’s not like FAANG stock comp multiplied by the spike. Or is it?

For the existing projects of others? Can you show any examples?

I won't speak for the other poster, but as a matter of simple fact, Git was initially released in 2005, while other VCSes using the term may date as far back as 1969 (https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/21859/); the concept of audio mastering dates to at least the 1920s with the introduction of the microphone (per the Wikipedia link), and in turn presumably has its roots in the idea of a "master copy" of text or artwork to be printed.

The "blockchain" notion of determinism you're referring to here, is far weaker than the notion of determinism used in the distsys context.

I don't know what Dr. Malone was like before COVID, but afterwards he was kind of wacky (by anyone's standards).

He made claims about the vaccine killing some kid who died in 2013, talked about how the vaccine causes a form of AIDS, and tried to cure it with Pepcid (the anti-acid) and horse-paste. All of that was despite the fact that he took the Moderna vaccine himself, because he had long-COVID. Honestly, I wonder if COVID didn't' damage his brain somehow.

Either way, you probably shouldn't believe some fringe guy from the internet more than mainstream science. If your mind is too wide open the flies will get in.

*EDIT* I should also add that he didn't even come close to "inventing" the MRNA vaccine. He was one of many people who worked on a a similar concept and contributed to the field. No one person could be said to have invented it, but if there was one person it would not be him. His name was not even listed as one of the main authors of the paper he most frequently cites as proof of his claim.
>The Carter Center: "The records confirm that Edmundo Gonzalez obtained 70% of the votes

They don't say exactly what that headline says. They say is with an 81.7% selection of the total voting records, they agree with an analysis that shows he reached nearly 70% of the vote:

> We reviewed 24,533 tally sheets (collected by opposition witnesses) with 81.7% (of the total voting records), and we agree with the analysis of these records that show that Edmundo González won with nearly 70%, by a 2 to 1 margin

Presumably that's adjusting and extrapolating for the missing data (if it was urban vs rural, etc.)? If it wasn't e.g. already adjusted up from that data to it would definitely be a majority though.

> That's just not true. There are a lot of web servers where their operations are CPU- or memory-intensive, depending on what they do. Are they working with images? Mapping? Video? Large data throughput? Especially when so much server code is written in slow interpreted scripted languages.

So the "traditional scalable" way of doing things right now assumes your "app" layer (sorry if I'm not using the right term -- the thing between the HTTP request and the database) is inherently going to be CPU intensive in a way that the database is not; and so assumes you're going to need to make a distributed system with load balancing, network connection to a database, etc.

But it seems to me that making that distributed system 1) requires a huge amount of "complexity budget" 2) actually increases aggregate CPU utilization, since one way or another everything has to be marshaled across the network, usually involving interpretation, copies, verification, maybe encryption, and so on.

So the question is, could you instead spend your "complexity budget" on actually optimizing the "app" layer? Use a performant compiled language, like Go or Rust, use profiling and optimization, etc. Sure, you'll have to spend more of your development time optimizing inner loops, but you also spend less time designing and debugging distributed systems.

I remember hearing somewhere that the entirety of StackOverflow ran on two physical boxes. Given how much traffic they must have gotten, I'm betting that I can do the same for the website I'm currently developing.

And connected to SQLite: Combine the fact that databases are just files, and that you can easily run "ATTACH <file>" to connect multiple database files on the same "connection", you should in many cases be able to design your overall structure to effectively "pre-shard" data. Right now I've got a separate .sqlite file for the per-user data, but all users share common site data; so if I ever reach the point where I really can't optimize further, I should be able to break my app into multiple servers without having to do further work sharding the database.

If everything goes up in smoke, I'll write a blog post admitting I was wrong and DM you. :-D

> API necessarily provides at least the data point of, "Did they select an option in the permission notification?"

If a bird app (or, heck, pancake recipe site) asked for WebRTC or GPU access I would be rightfully suspicious. It's a shame these things don't happen.
I appreciate that the data is still available via IMAP. But, it feels fastmail is slowly drifting towards the inevitable enshittification. Maybe that is a bit harsh but still. Some things that have been bothering me in recent months:

- It is not possible to prepay anymore. I used to have at least a year's worth of credit to make sure the account doesn't lapse if I get incapacitated on renewal time

- If a paid account stops, the email address eventually becomes up for grabs for someone else

- The monthly calendar view does not scroll smoothly anymore. Instead it now jumps to full days or months and it makes scrolling through it a badly jagged experience. It used to be so smooth and the best calendar view of any service, ever. Now, it's just as annoying as everything else.

- The calendar view now greys out the month that isn't current. Again making scrolling through the year a worse experience.

I'm sure there are justifications for all changes. But for me things like this make me go from "Fastmail is awesome!" to "Meh, it's email and it's alright". Saying that as someone who has been a paying user for many years.
Or, do the opposite, and force everyone to publish (not privately share!) their pricing strategy well ahead of time, but prohibit including competitors' prices or proxies thereof as decision variables.

> The rules are that state merges must be commutative, associative and idempotent;

Yes!

Blockchains definitely do not fulfill all three criteria!

> IMO semantic “intent preservation” is an application-level concern that can affect which CRDTs are chosen, but it’s irrespective of whether the underlying data structure is a CRDT.

You're correct!

Whether or not a data structure is a CRDT is entirely a function of whether or not its Merge operation is associative, commutative, and idempotent. Application-level concerns, including (but not limited to) semantic intent preservation, are totally irrelevant.
Broadcom pushed the old Raspberry Pi SoC architecture as far as it would go, but it's hard limited to 1Gb RAM.

Raspberry Pi has become a development platform for Broadcom SoC, so they can sell the same chip in their corporate products and the cost of development is partially covered by Pi sales.

They also have an educational non-profit organisation, but don't mistake the Raspberry Pi for a 100% selfless endeavour.

Broadcom have been very hostile at taking Pi clones of the market. Look at that happened to ODroid's Zero clone with the same SoC as the Zero.
Well, the UK doesn't have a constitution, so technically you're correct in mentioning that, but it should also be said that something like this happening in Europe is beyond shocking. It sounds like an April's fool joke. But isn't.
A lot of us, maybe. But my impression is that a lot of us also choose to consume more stuff more frequently (larger vehicles and homes, less durable items replaced more frequently, etc). I would not be surprised to learn that our direct energy use - such as vehicle fuel and electricity for heating - has increased with longer commutes and larger homes.

Compared to just 50 years ago, I would say that our lifestyles are on average vastly more consumptive, despite being more environmentally aware. We seem unwilling to make the sacrifices that really matter.

I think that some time in the future, our time will be seen as one of massive entitlement. As technology makes things possible, we feel entitled to make use of it if we can afford it. How many people in the 50's were using trucks to drag boats and horse floats around in the suburbs? These are the kind of reasons people will give for their consumption. e.g. "this is the lifestyle I want, it's possible, and why am I not entitled to it if I can afford to pay for it?" (in the financial sense only of course).

Mozilla's privacy preserving ad attribution: The future or an oxymoron?
As a Brazilian citizen, X / Musk have broken the law and have been fined. The fines are meant to compensate for damages done against my country. I absolutely want that debt to be paid. Moraes, within the boundaries of the law, has seized assets from another company that belongs to the same individual who's committing those crimes and is trying to evade punishment by closing the fined company. This should never be allowed to be used as a means to evade punishment.

From where I'm standing, this is legal security - not the opposite. In fact, I don't know if the law would allow it, but morally I would be fine with Musk being given a prison order or other sanctions for using such artifices in an attempt to evade justice.

Hi HN! My name's Josh and I'm the sole founder of DocDecoder.

I had the idea for this project earlier in 2023. It seemed like an obvious use-case for GPT, and I was shocked that it didn't already exist.

Around August, I started watching black mirror (the TV series), and there's one episode called 'Joan is Awful'. The premise of the episode is a woman who signs up for Netflix (or Streamberry, as it's called in the show), accepts the terms of use, and goes about her life. When she gets home from work, she notices a new show on Streamberry called 'Joan is Awful'. Long story short, Streamberry's terms of use included a clause permitting them to digitally clone the user, and use their likeness in any way they want (in this case, in a defamatory TV show).

I remember finishing the episode with a huuuge drive to start the project because it really clicked how big the issue is - so big, that black mirror made an episode about it.

It effects everyone, everywhere, and we're all helplessly aware of it.

To view existing summaries, you can search for a site via this page: https://docdecoder.app/summaries

I really believe in this project. Please, if you have any feedback or suggestions I would love to hear them :)

I think RVs that you can live/remote work in while traveling are interesting.

(I'm speaking about large class A RVs like an apartment with washer/dryer etc...)

But as solar becomes more prevalent, I don't see why they don't design RVs more around solar.

It has only been recently that I've seen "all electric" type RVs. Before that, most RVs were hybrid propane/electric or diesel/electric, for example gas stoves, dual propane/electric refrigerators, dual propane/diesel + electric heating and propane or diesel generators.

A future RV could have huge batteries for driving, and then use those batteries for appliances, air conditioning/heat pump and other on-board power.
Then add increased solar by not only rooftop solar, but maybe fold-out solar awnings. (it could also charge via EV chargers, or 220 at a campsite)

An RV like this would be modern, comfortable and let you go anywhere.

Going to double tap my own reply here and come back to the OTel peice. Do you find there's a lot of effort required in adding attributes to spans through your code? A lot of people we speak to who are all-in on tracing are (we think) getting by with minimal/auto span implementation, without attributes. We're trying to keep digging and learning about how this looks at different orgs / figure out if this approach holds as systems get more complex. Would our workflow as applied to adding attributes and messages to spans be useful to you?
