It's easy to say it failed, but if you look at the communist manifesto's actual demands:

> the abolition of private property in land and inheritance; introduction of a progressive income tax; confiscation of rebels' property; nationalisation of credit, communication, and transport; expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; enforcement of universal obligation of labour; and provision of universal education and abolition of child labour.

Most, if not all of these are now uncontroversial standards in modern states. It's not considered Marxist that we have ended child labor, and we have universal education, or that we have progressive incomes taxes, or that the state regulates credit/communications/transport. In fact these are just common sense practices that we all know would be a disaster if we abandoned them.

So we've basically adopted the majority of what the manifesto recommended, and now we're high-fiving and saying Marxism is dead. Capitalism arguably survived because it adopted these.
You should read more about the journey from novel molecule (basic science, generally publicly funded research) to a commercialized drug.

It is obscenely hard, expensive, and risky to get a drug — even one that works really well — to market. It’s much harder when you factor in lack of knowledge ahead of time about which molecules in your portfolio actually work.

IMO there should be some structure for taxpayers/grant funding agencies to get paid royalties on successful drug programs, but you wildly wildly misunderstand what the hard parts of drug development are.

It’s not publishing papers about molecules that do things in Petri dishes.

> lots of things start nicely but fail to manage complexity of even a moderately sized app, and everything grows over time

Is it size, do you think? To me it's more about how much interactivity you want the app to have. If I'm making an online shop, I don't think I'll need tons of interactivity, so I don't see the codebase ever outgrowing simple SSR views. If I'm making something much more dynamic, then I probably would go with an SPA from the beginning.

Even in Brazil typically one person does not get to be judge and jury. Alexandre de Moraes is currently on the supreme federal court, and was previously president of the superior electoral court, which is the other top level court in Brazil. Note that De Moraes served on both courts at the same time. As part of his powers on the superior electoral court, he granted himself the authority to perform unilateral censorship through secret orders as part of his duties in the federal court. This is obviously not legal and totally absurd legal theory since it violates the separation of powers of these two courts. These powers should only be granted to the judicial system through new legislation or changes to the constitution.

Meat processing is inherently messy, but it should never be dirty. Breaking down a carcass inevitably spreads around a lot of blood and meat scraps, which is precisely why cleaning is so important - there's nothing unhygienic about that debris unless it's allowed to accumulate and fester.

There is no excuse for the kind of violations described in this report, nor is there any excuse for allowing such a dangerous plant to continue operating.

From https://www.science.org/content/article/potential-fabricatio...

The Nature paper has been cited in about 2300 scholarly articles—more than all but four other Alzheimer’s basic research reports published since 2006, according to the Web of Science database. Since then, annual NIH support for studies labeled “amyloid, oligomer, and Alzheimer’s” has risen from near zero to $287 million in 2021. Lesné and Ashe helped spark that explosion, experts say.

The paper provided an “important boost” to the amyloid and toxic oligomer hypotheses when they faced rising doubts, Südhof says. “Proponents loved it, because it seemed to be an independent validation of what they have been proposing for a long time.”

This is also a fun read https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/07/opinion/alzheimers-missed...
Document-oriented databases are a subclass of the key-value store.

Postgres jason types are blobs in an RDBMS, and jsonb is to be avoided in almost all cases.

I am not a MongoDB cheerleader and I am a huge fan of Postgres when SQL is appropriate, but equating an ACID style DB with a key value store misses the point.

But it is horses for courses, people using MongoDB for acid transactions when support landed in v4 is where most of the problems came from.

When deployed in their core domains, both work better than the hacks implemented to artificially make them competitors.
I am not sure why people keep bringing up Turkey or India as a justification for authoritarianism in Brazil. The orders for content takedowns in India were more obviously legal and were not done in secret, but in full public view with clear avenues for legal challenge.

On the other hand, in Brazil Alexandre de Moraes sits on two different courts at the same time and claims that one court gave him the power to unilaterally censor/ban/arrest people in secret from the other court. It is obviously a farce, even to the slightest investigation. Twitter/X is correct to challenge it since it isn’t legal within Brazil.

Now India's 2nd largest oligarch (Sunil Mittal) has majority ownership in Starlink's largest competitor in the Western world - Eutelsat OneWeb [2]. They also have majority stake in British Telecom now too [3].

Ford has also been given the red carpet for an EV-first play in India [4], along with Hyundai Kia's EV expansion in CBN's state.

In India, the Judiciary has primacy over legislative.

If the judiciary rules one way or the other, legislative need to either reach a supermajority, live with it, or litigate and re-litigate in the Supreme Court.

Which is why I point out that when FIRs under IT Rules are received, X complies.

Brazil has the same separation of powers, yet X clearly fights against the top of the Judiciary in Brazil, while complying with the lowest of the Judiciary (and even before it reaches court) in India.

VPS stands for Virtual Private Server, essentially another word for a VM you can buy from hosting / cloud companies.
This is a good theory but the basic maths is that 1 mile = 1 km * 1.6 or vice versa. This is the basic thing you need to do.

However, this can get confusing it it get's to odd numbers etc, so what you can do is, simple leave it as miles because if you are in a miles country no one is converting it to km or vice versa.

Same with C and F in temperatures, there are basic maths systems that can do this in constant time, so there is no real reason to complicate it unless you want to do it in your head and then there is the basic maths to do it, if you can't just use a calculator.
Where/How does The Guardian article conflict with X's statement?

I appreciate the response but I think you misunderstood my question. OP mentioned a "software-only, zero implicit trust overlay network". In my head all overlay networks are software only (and from your answer your conception too). I was trying to figure out why OP mentioned "software only"? Was it redundant or was it a useful way to distinguish between another category of overlay network.

Some people think differently. Some methods click with some people, while making others think it's making it overly complicated. The new math drove people crazy.

That extra match can lead to an answer faster than traditional math

Totally. I'm not advocating that people don't ever use it for this. I'm just saying that from a pure resource perspective, it might be one of the least resource-efficient mechanisms for doing this.

As others have pointed out, it's probably not a noticeable cost and, in fact, the fixed costs associated with setting something up yourself would far outweigh what you're paying to use S3 for this purpose.

Part of me just dies inside when I think of all the stuff needlessly happening behind the scenes, given it's not actually being used for storage. I mean, it's called Simple Storage Service.
> Postgres jason types are blobs in an RDBMS, and jsonb is to be avoided in almost all cases.

You might be uniformed (or misinformed) on this topic. JSONB is not just a "blob" in Postgres. It's a first-class value type with full query-ability and indexing support.

This is the guy from serial. I vividly remember listening to this whole podcast as an amateur reporter retold the whole story, only to be shocked and horrified that I had wasted my time because he was obviously involved and almost certainly guilty.

Adnan knew exactly where the body was buried, but for hours this podcast investigated the tiniest of minuteua (who placed a call from outside a grocery store at what hour? How many times had the cellphone pinged at that location? Was his lawyer too old?) all while suggesting his friend "Jay" may have been involved [even though Adnan was adamant he wasn't].

To me it was a fascinating story about how somebody can fall for a conman/murderer's story despite really obvious evidence after an unreasonable amount of personal contact (I think she said she talked to Adnan every day for hours a day).

Not that justice is always served by our criminal court system; it certainly has many flaws and failures. But all the more reason to be ashamed about drawing our attention to one of the cases that's pretty open-and-shut.
Are any of you guys old enough to remember when Marc Fleury got caught in an astroturfing scheme involving JBoss employees? That’s actually how I learned that word had been coined.

The MongoDB Team didn’t do exactly the same, or at least nobody caught them, but they did have a massive hype cycle, selling snake oil full of serious concurrency bugs. Managed to time their funding right so they ended up with enough money to buy a completely different NoSQL implementation, that actually did work (mostly), discontinued work on their code and relabeled the other implementation as Mongo.

I don’t patronize companies built on a bed of lies. Because how do you trust the lies stopped? They have a proven track record of being good at it. And you’re rewarding all of that behavior. The ends justify the means? Fuck that.

Even that depends on what people you are putting first.

Putting the individual first and it will likely make sense to put little value in family structures and community connection.

Putting community first, or specifically the people who are in a stage of life that really need help day to day, and valuing family connections makes more sense.

Neither are an absolute fix to everything. Like everything else, a mix of both likely makes the most sense.

From there, the rest is a matter of detail and interpretation.

The main trouble I have with mongo or document databases in general is that using them effectively requires a lot of design thinking up front. You need to really understand your domain model, in a DDD sense. This isn't usually made clear to people.

Document databases are good for working with / storing aggregate root objects and related entities. If you don't know what that means, or are feeling your way through a new domain and aren't in a position to decide if you're really dealing with an aggregate root object or not, or think things might be subject to change later, put the tools down and go with something more conventional.

Additionally, if you do use mongo for your operational data store, you should probably consider combining it with read-projections in a relational style DB too, or at least more conventionally defined flattened collections in mongo, in order to service bulk read style queries. Aggregation queries in mongo can get out of control quickly if you're not careful. Much better to plan for that early. And if you end up separating concerns like that, you'll probably find yourself wondering why you didn't just go with Postgres from the start.
