> Isn't BlueOrigin going after at totally different market segment, I thought it was focused on things like space tourism

They have New Shepard, a crew-rated suborbital spacecraft, primarily targeted at tourism, but it has also done some science payloads for NASA, university and commercial clients.

But they also are doing a lot of non-tourism stuff: they designed and manufacture first stage engines for ULA’s new Vulcan launch vehicle; they have their own reusable orbital launch vehicle (New Glenn) due to launch soon (planned for next month, but might slip to early next year); they have a contract with NASA to build a lunar lander to compete with SpaceX’s; they are part of one of the teams NASA has chosen to compete for the contract to build a commercial ISS replacement.

And SpaceX is involved in space tourism too: both directly, and indirectly via resellers such as Axiom.

It is just that the most publicly noticeable thing Blue Origin has achieved is space tourism, which makes people think it is primarily a space tourism company; meanwhile, SpaceX has had numerous publicly visible achievements other than tourism, so people view tourism as just another thing they do, not their main thing.

If so it will lead to the end of "TV" for those who care about such things. A monitor plus some computing device can do everything a "TV" can but does not contain such hidden spies unless it runs some commercial OS like Windows 11. Just use something like a Raspberry Pi, one of the many alternatives or an old diskless workstation and put e.g. Kodi on it and your "TV" is ready.
SaaS pricing is so weird because for so many things because the cost to run per user is almost zero, but then the company is spending tens or hundreds of millions of dollars developing the software.

Evernote once had a valuation of nearly 2 billion, and like 400 employees.

I replaced it with Obsidian which gives me more value and it was mostly just made by two people, now they list 9 employees, one of whom is the office cat.

Each company for me was just syncing some text and maybe a few larger things like PDFs. The actual cost of that is pennies per year.

I hope Kagi succeeds. But personally, I think the web is dead. And no search engine can save it.

SEO spam has been strangling the web for years. Now, genAI SEO spam has escalated that onto inhuman levels. To make matters worse, no one wants to post to the open web anymore because their posts are just going to drown in that sea of spam and only genai's data stealing bots will read them. As the amount of spam posted to the web increases, the amount of worthwhile content posted decreases. Eventually, nothing of value will be posted. (like facebook?)

You can lay the blame for the web's death squarely at Google's feet for allowing SEO to hijack search in the first place (or maybe the government is to blame for not breaking up Google's ad/search empire fast enough). Either way, the big companies all know the end is here and are gambling on genai to replace search. Already, places of knowledge are closing their borders and charging fees for genai to access.

We have entered the internet's dark age.

Fun aside: I think it's hilarious and fitting that Google's genai model sucks. And I hope they lose the genai wars (just out of spite, not because I think any other genai is worth a shit).

Yeah, for a software I'd use personally, if I don't see a docker-compose.yml I walk away from such a software. Painful enough to write those docker files for client projects that I work on. Huly has docker-compose files hidden and meant for dev? But a quick look into it show a lot of environment variables which is a great thing if you want to use your existing database once the software's use outgrows whatever specific limitations your docker host has. https://github.com/hcengineering/platform/blob/develop/dev/d...
Their huly-selfhost project lets you run a setup to create that docker-compose file and it looks decent.

Which also means it may take 10 seconds before you can (reliably) read the write globally.

I keep failing to see how this can replace regionally placed database clusters which can serve a continent in milliseconds.

Edit: I know it uses streams, but those are only to 5 followers and CF have hundreds of datacenters. There is no physical way to guarantee reads in seconds unless all instances of the SQLite are always connected and even then, packet latency will cause issues.

Long story short, this appears to be a case of a CEO needing to restrain themselves from saying (or typing) everything that comes to mind when faced with a combative user who clearly isn't trying to understand something or bring anything to the table.

At the end of the day, what you care about when it comes to privacy in search are your search records. They say--in a way that generates liablity--that they don't store them. I see no reason for them to break that promise. Between a commercial VPN and Kagi, I trust Kagi more.

> Closer to "genocidal" would be Hernan Cortes, who pretty much took down the Aztecs.

Well that's what you get when you go about enslaving and committing genocide against your neighbours for centuries prior. Cortes didn't even have to try - all the neighbouring nations eagerly joined the Spanish to wipe out the Aztecs. Even after that, the Aztecs weren't wiped out - they were just converted hard to Christianity and assimilated into Spanish society, even though they even had their own divisions in the armed forces. They eventually culturally assimilated the rest of the meso-Americans and gave us what Mexican culture is today.

Now what happened to the Maya is a tragedy. Books burnt, people enslaved and relegated to the lowest rung even today.

I didn't say perfect, I just said, querying for FS to use, everyone recommends ZFS, over Btrfs. Even if not perfect, it seems to have left a better impression than Btrfs.
The problem with that idea is that all secure implementations of RFID lock the user out, meaning you can't just buy an NFC ring/fob/implant and copy your bank card or transit card onto it. The only implementations where the user can do that are terribly insecure and, while still commonly used, are slowly getting phased out.

So for anything other than systems you control or are good friends with the IT guy for, you're out of luck.
> How does a Jew discovering the Americas benefit the Spanish regime when the Spanish Catholic monarchy precisely kicked all Jews and Muslims from the peninsula with their ill-named "reconquista"?

The question is not whether Columbus was Jewish of not. The question is whether he was actually Spanish. As the article states, that's heavily disputed.

From the article:

> Over the centuries, it has been suggested that the explorer could have been Genoese, Basque, Catalan, Galician, Greek, Portuguese or Scottish.

The article leads by referring to Columbus as a son of Genoa.

Then a Spanish researcher decides to claim Columbus is Spanish on Spain's national day, supposedly based on an authoritative scientific study but in spite of not presenting any evidence that supports his claim.

> He is primarily of interest because Italian-Americans want a feeling of pride and so celebrate "one of their own", the Genovese Columbus.

May I ask why you hold this opinion? I grew up with tons of Italian-Americans (NYC) and I can confidently say that I've never heard a single person express pride in the fact that Columbus was Italian. In fact, based on my experience, a lot of Americans—regardless of descent—think/were explicitly taught that Columbus was Spanish.

> That's also why FM is in stereo!

Stereo FM is essentially two waves transmitted at the same time (it's common and difference instead of left and right, but that's math). Stereo AM would be possible, it was never done because two different AM transmissions have to be spaced further away than FM.

SQLite is fine and dandy as long as you don't do a lot of updates. SQLite locks the entire database for a transaction. It may be fine for quite long, or you may face slowdowns with just a few parallel users, depending on your use case.
It's the actor model essentially.

You can have a DO proxy each user connection, then they forward messages to the multipler document. The user proxy deals with ordering and buffering their connection message state in the presence of disconnects, and the document DO handles the shared state.
> but how are we sure this is driving climate change

Because we have released enough to substantially alter an approx 200K year gas balance.

Our current yearly release of of carbon dioxide is ~35 billion tonnes. The mean annual release from (say) volcanos is 180 - 440 million tonnes per year.

The human release is additional over and above the standard land|air carbon cycle that's been globally stable for millenia.

This is substantial additional insulation which traps more heat energy.

We have released as much GHG in a century as was released in the Siberian Traps.

> Yeah, the climate is changing, but are we sure this is driven by humans?

Yes. Absolutely.

> I guess you think that if they happen at the same time, one must be the cause for the other

You guess wrong. I look for a mechanism that connects events, a lever if you will. In this case the laws of thermodynamics, heat equations, and the balance between incoming solar energy and radiated outwards heat energy.

This has been covered extensively in geophysical literature.

> And we just don't really have good data to know ..

We have excellent data. More than sufficient.

Seriously, exert some effort, learn something of the sunject domain before spouting all this unfounded nonsense.

Calling Cortes genocidal is also quite farfetched, considering that he conquered the Aztec territory, despite being vastly outnumbered, because every native tribe and settlement they found on the way banded together to overthrow the Aztec.

I wouldn't call the Aztecs genocidal either, despite the ritual sacrifices, brutal treatment of other peoples, and everybody in mesoamerica who came to know them hating them so much that they preferred the uncertain fate of joining the white bearded men from the east.
It kinda makes me sad. I hope we don't enter an era of stagnation because LLMs only understand our current tech. There are so many brilliant ideas that mainstream languages haven't adopted (and may never be able to adopt). There are language features outside of python and JavaScript that will change the way you think about systems and problem solving. Effects systems, structured concurrency, advanced type systems, distributed computing... There are brilliant people discovering safer and smarter ways to solve these problems but it seems nobody will care anymore.
We are ok with that, really, there is always people who give more importance to this kind of things, but for the vast majority, whatever the results, they would be cool.

I believe this is the first time in history that the 'oppressed' class has better average material conditions (measured in things like life expectancy, serious workplace injury and death, imprisonment, suicide rates, outcomes in courts, genital mutilation, educational attainment) than the 'oppressor' class.

Pick an equator on an n-sphere. It is a hyperplane of dimensions (n-1) through the center, composed of all but one dimensions of your sphere. The xy plane for a unit sphere in xyz, for example.

Uniformly distribute points on the sphere. For high n, all points will be very near the equator you chose.

Obviously, in ofder for a point to be not close to this chosen equator, it projects close to 0 on all dimensions spanning the equatorial hyperplane, and not close to 0 on the dimension making up the pole-to-pole axis.

I was curious as cousin commenters, and this helped make sense of things (and connect a few completely unrelated intuitions)

As long as the effects of viscosity and diffusion are negligible, the fluid in a moving vortex is carried along with it. In particular, the fluid in the core (and matter trapped by it) tends to remain in the core as the vortex moves about. This is a consequence of Helmholtz's second theorem. Thus vortices (unlike surface waves and pressure waves) can transport mass, energy and momentum over considerable distances compared to their size, with surprisingly little dispersion. This effect is demonstrated by smoke rings and exploited in vortex ring toys and guns.
