I'm aware of the civil trial, but it was even clear in the criminal trial he murdered his wife.

Between the blood on everything he owned, the car chase, the domestic abuse calls etc.

He was acquitted by the jury due to racial tensions. Certainly not something to apply to any other case, it was a special exception of injustice.

> It is very clear that he doesn’t believe his own nonsense (did you follow the trial?). He’s not “crazy” in the sense that he does not comprehend reality, but rather in the sense that he is a psychopath who doesn’t have empathy for other humans and doesn’t have any respect for society and its basic norms and rules, including civil/criminal law.

What specifics in the trial made it clear that he comprehends reality but acted "psychopathic" on purpose?

So since OJ got off you assume everyone acquitted may still be guilty?

That's a great system you got there.

That's a bad faith interpretation and nowhere near what I said.

To prove that he slandered them you have to prove that he knew it was false.

If someone truly believes what they are saying, it's not defamation.

What I'm saying is his record and his attitude all indicated he truly believed it, imo.

The same people calling him crazy / a conspiracy theorist are saying he did it with malice / intent.

Those are contradicting beliefs.

Asserting one's opinion is speculating.

Personally I don't see how you can say he knew it to be false given his reputation as a conspiracy theorist.

You can't both think he is crazy and think that he knew it to be false, that would assume he is rational.

Hanlon's razor and all that.

No they just made it peppered with useless popups.

They regulate it without innovating it.

Platform !== app (though platforms can have bundled apps)

Browsers started as a document reader app, now they are deploy platforms as well.

You need to develop apps with functionality for either OS or web platforms, or both.

They are more of a platform as you need web sites / apps for it to be useful.

Similar to how you need programs for the OS platform to be useful.

Things you deploy to are platforms (web, windows, macos, etc.), the things being deployed onto platforms are apps.

But a browser was first (and still is) a document reader, so it's also a limited app in that sense.

GPs tweet is from a few days ago, the one you linked is from June and was speculation about what Google will do.

Eich later in the thread you linked said this: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1534905779630661633

Learn to use straps, really easy to haul a 4x8' in a short bed.

Noone wants a normal bed. They want a crew cab short bed. Supply and demand.

He'd get flak for not doing anything, you're giving him flak for offering help, assuming worst intentions.

He sent internet to Ukraine during the war, did you see other sat providers doing that?

Another company could have helped, aren't they worse for ignoring the issue entirely?

Or do you think it's better to not have any help from any company to make sure no good PR is had?

So GP would be justified in preferring the FOSS solution if it meets their technical requirements vs the commercial OSS solution because at one point they could be the only option and abuse that network effect / monopoly.

My point was it's who is developing the software because it takes effort for another maintainer to step up and it doesn't always happen. Also if a commercial company digs a big enough moat with the open source product they could abuse it, so do you trust them now?

Similar to Google abusing Chromium, Castopod could one day be in that position if you don't support FOSS alternatives today. That would be the mindset to put yourself in.

That being said, I don't think it matters as much as the browser space, but I'm not in the podcast community. I could see though that it could potentially be very costly to have a monopoly for podcast hosting, but currently that's Spotify right?

Note: I have no preference here, just assuming what motivates GP's preference.

Same reason you comment here? We all want to be heard and have a right to be.

How do you feel about Google and Manifest v3 in Chromium?

Being open source isn't everything, it's also about predicting the future development trajectory.

The pedo diver picked the fight first after Elon offered help and the pedo diver expat Brit lives in a known location for child exploitation:

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/idyllic-thai-provi...

In the end Elon did apologize to the guy for calling him a pedo, he probably just likes diving over there after all!

But I see... if you call people a name you must be unstable, makes sense with all the people spouting out racist this and that.

I wonder what comments you make in private that we can all use judge your mental soundness.

Dismissing things as a "crazy conspiracy theory" adds nothing.

All indicators point to a lab leak. The project was called DEFUSE, proposed in 2018, it was led by Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance and funded by the NIH.

https://drasticresearch.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/main-doc...

These things are known now, after being long denied by those involved.

Under that logic all of SV sponsors war in the middle east.

Can we leave the russiaphobia in the political threads at least?

It's an Elon thread so HN users turn into doctors diagnosing depression, ADHD, etc.

Throw "narcissism" in there too for good measure, oh wait you did, bingo!

It couldn't be that he just thinks differently than you do, no he must have a mental illness!

Someone flagged my reply to the person below concerning the pedo diver so I'll just drop this link here too:

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/idyllic-thai-provi...

> Since you are so thin skinned and humorless and just have to have the last word

Projection much? You couldn't handle a joke I made after you made a political joke not relevant to the article. Then you keep posting walls of text with name calling.

> then why don't you go through and explain each of your other posts I linked to

You're barely listening to me now. How am I supposed to "explain" my posts exactly? You can read the context and my posts and if you have questions ask them.

> especially your many posts that were downvoted and flagged for violating Hacker News guidelines?

Anyone can downvote or flag a post, it doesn't mean it violated guidelines. Generally it means it was an unpopular opinion (here).

You saw maga in the project name, that's a fact, not slander!

Either way, a joke is not slander, I didn't take your original comment as slander because it was a joke, as was my reply.

But I do think your later replies calling your political opponents racist is slander.

> For somebody who whines so much about political posts, you sure post a lot of batshit crazy political conspiracy theory stuff, a lot of which that gets downvoted and flagged and deadened, in fact even your user name is obviously political:

The difference is I only reference politics in political threads. I don't shift the topic to politics like you did. This is not even a political article!

This is a left leaning site so ofc some of my comments get downvoted, similar to why you blew up. This site can be a bubble and your bubble was burst.

If you want to discuss the politics we can, but simply calling me a conspiracy theorist / racist / bat shit insane etc is slander and not a debate, thus the motto in my profile.

This thread about Couchbase's new storage engine is not really the place though, don't you think?

EDIT: (to reply to your edit)

> And this isn't the first time you've hypocritically demanded that other people not to talk about politics, while you do that all the time:

The post you linked is taken out of context, it was in reference to talking politics / money / religion at work.

> in fact even your own user name is obviously political "HunterB123":

Yeah it's a combination of hunter2 and the hunter laptop scandal. Both terrible opsec! Do you not like technical and political jokes now?

EDIT: I replied to you before you edited your post. I'm only going to reply to your original comment as the walls of text you are generating after you got so triggered are very cumbersome to reply to.

> Wait, you reply was a joke? I don't get it.

The joke was a reference to how much "maga" is in people's head thanks to left-wing outlets like CNN, so much you saw it in the project name.

> Was there an obscure computer science or information theory or networking protocol reference that I missed?

It was a purely political joke, as you shifted the conversation to politics...

> It just sounded like I hurt your feelings by implying that it was bad to name a project only 1 Levenshtein distance measurement away

I'm fine, thanks for your concern! From your replies, it seems like I hurt your feelings. Maybe don't reference politics if you can't handle responses from the other side!

> from such a horribly disreputable deeply disgraced hateful racist conspiracy theory associated four letter curse word as MAGA.

Ah see there it is, that's the sentiment you wanted to suggest with your thinly veiled levenshtein "joke". Maga is not racist, you simply don't agree with it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a racist. This is also not the place to bring it up. Keep politics out of the purely technical articles please!

> At the risk of spoiling it, please walk me through what's funny about your counter-joke about CNN step by step, and how trying to criticize somebody by doing the exact same thing you're attempting to do with a much less funny joke, then continuing to complain about it without posting any other interesting jokes or comments or links, isn't simply humorless hypocrisy?

The joke is the thing you hate the most is constantly in your head!

> I'm sorry you're so touchy about the word MAGA!

Not at all, I simply made a reply to your political commentary / levenshtein joke, you went off, so now I'm replying.

I do however think it wasn't appropriate for this thread and it distracts from the actual content.

> I did't expect anyone here to take such knee-jerk offense

Again, no offense taken, but you seem to have taken offense from the CNN comment. Sorry for that if so.

> and I'll be glad to offer you a full non-apology apology about how I'm sorry you decided to be so offended

Again, no apology needed. Thank you though!

> if you can only explain to me why you're so triggered by the mention of the fact MAGA is such a negative word to associate with a project

Not "triggered" as I'm not the one who blew up with a wall of text and it's not a negative word.

I support "maga" and if you're a liberal/socialist/marxist for whatever reason that's fine. I made a joke you made a joke. What's the issue? If you don't want to hear politics don't reference politics first.

> and what's so funny about your counter-joke about CNN.

The fact that you hate "maga" so much yet it occupies your mind! Living rent free I believe is the phrase.

I think you need to stop watching CNN if magma is turning into MAGA lol

Fukushima was neglect. As you said we had known those types of tsunamis were possible since 1972, but no additional safety measures were put into place over the decades.

There were multiple studies and suggestions ignored a decade before the incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_disaster#200...

It wasn't that there was a fundamental flaw with the design, just the sea walls needed to be higher.

There's a shitload of black/white/muslim supremacists on Twitter too. Twitter is almost exclusively toxicity.

There's normal people on Gab as well. It's nice if you want to talk about taboo topics during controversial times like lockdowns, certain laptops, certain vaccines, etc..

Basically if you want to escape western propaganda.

Redis is pretty easy to distribute out of the box.

And most likely you'll want a simple k/v distributed cache for other things so it's no extra work.

I answered those talking points here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33020993

I disagree that stateful based sessions are simpler.

I disagree size of cache is a red herring.

You don't have to be FB to want to optimize your memory usage.

In the end I prefer the more efficient (mostly stateless) solution and it's really easy to implement.

But to each their own of course.

I simply explained the efficiency difference of the two setups.

You're storing and checking a smaller subset when doing stateless + invalidation cache.

Whether or not you need that memory optimization is up to you and your machines.

Personally it's about the same effort to implement and I prefer stateless + simple redis cache for invalidations.

The redis cache with invalidated tokens will be much smaller than storing all sessions.

And you can expire the invalidated keys faster (set the invalidated key expiration to the expiration of the JWT)

Not many people revoke sessions, but a lot of people create sessions. Much more efficient to only store and check revocations. The rest can be stateless.

Because you're only storing the invalidated tokens and you're only storing them for the length of the token's lifetime (expire the redis key when the JWT expires)

So instead of storing all session tokens indefinitely, you only store invalidated tokens for a short period of time.
