Processes were the original containers.

And how did the work out for the british in WWI? They could have invested in tanks and used the Blitzkrieg one war early, but the officers loved their horses. Using horses was not a sign of health, it was sign of backward thinking and nearly cost them everything.

The time of planes has ended and the time of drones has begun it has.

Google pays Apple something like $9 billion a year to be the default search engine. So it seems unlikely.

Web != Internet. The internet is fine. You can tell because you can can route around any of these problems. This attack is at a completely different level of the stack.

Probably something like Culture in the novels by Iain Banks: Minds + Post-scarcity + Space Travel. As much as I like Star Trek, I don't have much faith in humans getting better at governing themselves.

So what happens when the computer fails in the middle of a long write to disk?

Usually there's a corporate email address for internal email. Does all godaddy internal email come from godaddy.com? That would be strange.

On amazon you can get an ASIN so you don't have to buy an ISBN. So there's no universal book identifier.

One pound of weight is equal to 3500 calories, so that's 7 * 500. Whoops, looks like I dropped the extra 0.

A pound is 50 extra calories a day for a week. It doesn't take much fork action to eat 50 extra calories a day.

Sounds like something you might say at the beginning of your life and shake your head at later in life.

Maybe a way to think of it is that energy is not a part of your discretionary spending budget?

Yes, I’m hoping everyone realizes that’s part of the point. We don’t actually even have “health” coverage, even those with what most in the US would consider top notch coverage.

Our neighbors drive from California to Mexico for dental work. Often. They have Medicare, additional coverage from a union, and Kaiser.

They can also change it back any time they wish and on an app by app basis.

Are they garbage collected? Do you use tombstones?

Perhaps some of us are not concerned about radiation risks, we simply do not want a continuation of old centralized paradigms. The future is energy systems based on decentralization, redundancy, and dispersal.

> Can passivation warmth be controlled?

A variant of the cold start problem. How long after all the messages for an object drain is it passivated? Can you keep it pinned in memory?

Another question. Can objects contain relationships that are themselves references to other Durable Objects? Say a simple reference, or a list, or DAGs?

Interesting, i didn't see how security works? Is there backpressure on message senders? Any ordering guarantees? Are messages queued so activated objects can reconstruct state? Can passivation warmth be controlled? Can objects support multiple threads? Can objects move? Failover?

> Somehow this is not surprising for me, I have heard about experiments related to free-will wherein the brain already made a decision even before the conscious mind became aware of it.

But it's your brain that's making decisions based on your experiences, desires, and goals. Obviously your conscious mind can't do everything, it's there for the new and hard stuff. All the rest is pushed down to lower layers, but it's all still you.

Haven't you just yielded control to the creators of the AI? AIs are not de novo genesis. They are created things and embody all the biases and goals of their creators. There is no escape from the responsibility of self-rule. If we humans can't handle it maybe we don't deserve to survive?

How can you replace just the body tag without some javascript to set the html and ajax to get the html?

They area around SV is quite beautiful, but certainly the cities are boring as hell.

Lambda isn't enough. You'll get blocked in a heartbeat. You still need a proxy service.

It just takes one super spreader to reinfect a population, especially without herd immunity or vaccinations.

Problem is the travel between counties, at least in CA. There's a lot of travel that could cause reinfection.

People who turn a passion into a side hustle often report losing their passion, so I can only imagine what turning a love into a 20 year career would feel like. The hedonic treadmill that is life cannot be defeated, but it can be out gamed by changing things up—completely. Change careers, go into a new area, take a long break so dopamine hits will actually land again, or just reconcile yourself to that part of your life having passed and find a new love.

Joyist is the new minimalist.

The rule of three is also a decorating rule. You should always clump picture, vases, etc. in clumps of three. The reason always given is balance. Three esthetically produces the best visual balance. Maybe the universe has an esthetic sense?
