"sexually explicit content" and "child sex trafficking" are rather different things. Connected? Maybe? If you want to claim that Mark was lying, you've got to demonstrate the connection as part of the claim. Otherwi

That's what I thought as well at first, but I've come to think that is just the cover story. While some of his base likely did buy in, I expect that _most_ of the inflows were from individuals or groups looking to influence the ad

We should not buy into the baseless "autonomous" claim. Sure, it may be _possible_ the account is acting "autonomously" -- as directed by some clever human. And having a discussion about the possibility is interesting. B

But since building a datacenter almost anywhere on the planet is more convenient than outer space, surely you can find some suitable location/government. Or put it on a boat, which is still 100 times more sensible than outer space.

I appreciate the defense of doctors wages for great work; I would agree that many doctors absolutely deserve it and more. But this "semi-monopolistic trade union" not only inflates their wages (which maybe that's a good thing

Prices of _everything_ went up over the past five years. Datacenter expansion was far from the main driver. Dollars and cents aren't worth what they used to be.

I'd say it's fair to call this a footgun, though not a bug. The context is really only intended to apply to the goroutines. And Wait has to cancel the context to prevent a resource leak. I suggest in general using function scoping

While your caveats are all noteworthy, I'll add that Hetzner also offers unlimited/free bandwidth between their datacenters in Germany and Finland. That's sort of like AWS offering free data transfer between us-east-1 and us-

This excessive inter-AZ data transfer pricing is distorting engineering best practices. It _should_ be cheap to operate HA systems across 2-3 AZs, but because of this price distortion on inter-AZ traffic charges, we lean towards designs tha
