Tell them to tip a few tens of millions into funding Matrix. Go back to the good old days and give it another chance.

My mind immediately goes to ReiserFS.

It's sometimes easy for me to forget that behind these online personas are real people with real issues.

Why is it a defensible position when vaccinated youth spread COVID at significantly the same rate as unvaccinated youth?

76 hours was my longest stint.

After repeating that ballpark of effort a few times, I burnt out. Now I can sustain maximum an hour before existential dread starts creeping back in.

I detect wisdom of the eternal variety

Surely it's been pulled by what is beyond the event horizon, not the event horizon itself.

CQRS on its own isn't really going to get you what you want here as it's more about separating commands from queries.

For auditing, rewind, recovery, change history and other perks then Event Sourcing would be closer to the solution - but you shouldn't really be choosing ES just for those perks. ES should mostly only be considered in situations where complex data and business rules are being interacted with by simultaneous actors (financial systems might be one example).

I'd caution against going with ES just for the sake of auditing as it is quite the paradigm shift in both client and server architecture and you will need to be comfortable with eventually consistent systems and higher overall system complexity.

Reminds me of that scene from Young Einstein.

This feels to me like Amazon is departing the space and they're dumping and running. As in, where they were previously pouring money into starting their own studio and platform, they're now cutting their losses.

I'm only drawing this conclusion based on the announcement article and video - maybe I'm missing something.

What's the racist part your referring to?

Wonderful! I think you've answered any questions I might have already.

I would love to see you use Jitsi and contribute back, where possible.

Also, if you move on for reasons that aren't bike-shedding then I'd love to know what the architectural/technical reasoning is.

Conversely, if you discover that the cause of the issue was inadequate controls during virus research then you should absolutely start with fixing those.

Put it this way, if the cause of the worldwide pandemic was because it leaked from a lab then you should fix the lab.

Apple does not care about ethics. Apple cares about what you think of their ethics depending on which part of the world you live in.

Adapt? That's what most industries that face change do.

How did sites survive before the ad infestation business model?

I await the full book with bated breath.

While I agree with some of what the author is saying, I don't think the mocking and ridiculing sarcasm are really helping at all. It just makes the author look obnoxious and rude.

Is Google running out of storage? In the last 18 months they've seemed to complete a 180 degree turn on their "store all the things" policy.

I kind of wish for a future where Google withdraws from Australia, but it's highly unlikely.

Also, they never threatened to withdraw search altogether. I watched the parliamentary hearing live and from what I heard, they insinuated they may not continue "some services or features" if the laws are passed as-is.

Honestly though, the idea that Google should pay just for showing article links in results is absurd. Snippets is at best slightly more of an argument, but honestly they're making use of the og meta tags that these news sites have put in their website themselves.

It sets a horrible precedent if you have to pay others for the crime of linking to their content.

I think you'd rather say that Apple will dress themselves up to look like what their audience wants to see - that they don't really care about privacy, but more the perception that you have it. Their actions in China back this view up. You see, the expectation in the West is that you make sure you look like you're doing the "right thing", but behind the scenes you accommodate state actors doing what they want with your data.

No it isn't. See: Apple in China

I took the quote to mean that competent people get handed more and more workload until they burn out.

> I experienced it as well and this isn’t true either.

I think you'd have to be knowingly looking the other way to take this so positively. Telling someone that what they said "isn't true" is analogous to calling them a liar.

Mine will be my daily driver. I'm currently on a Nexus 6P that has had two battery replacements and currently requires a vice to crush the centre of the screen every time I wish to charge it (doesn't recognise charging until you do - something to do with temperature sensor on battery). Screen-on time is ~45 minutes.

I'm looking forward to getting a new device.

So odd to see another HNer from my home city!

When Apple happily works in tandem with a government which has imprisoned an entire minority and has been doing the same thing to Christians for decades, you get some perspective on how much they dress themselves up to impress their local audience, not because they actually care.

I've got 5 kids between 1 and 7 years old (twin girls in the middle) and we've been pleasantly surprised with how easy they've been at each age (compared to what we'd prepared mentally for). We're "worst-case" preparers though.

Definitely depends significantly in the nature of the children, but also a significant part on the parents too.

I do wonder if they've been positioning for an exit and that this is all the fruit of that.

OK substitute VM with OpenStack then.
