From my admittedly limited understanding, the failure of the semantic web is one of mankind's biggest missed opportunities. Now the knowledge graph is just locked behind Google's neural network layers and only being used for ads.

As a sidenote, Databend's elevator pitch sounds quite good: from what I've seen there's quite a lot of complexity in managing co-located storage and compute like ClickHouse, Druid and Pinot. Leveraging object storage instead

In terms of political, public and commercial repercussions, which is what the discussion is about? Not much difference at all.

I still feel that we're overdue for some paradigm shift in programming languages. There's a nebulous feeling, probably informed by my amateurishness, that some tasks just shouldn't be this hard. Seeing the whole buzz around G

Tomato, tomato. And in this case, Cloudflare does proxy and cache traffic through its infrastructure, that's their whole business model.

So, they did it due to commercial reasons, not legal reasons? I assume they judged the commercial repercussions and decided keeping the content was a negative. Why do you think they should host it anyway?

Sounds like what you want is some regulation for content hosts, isn't it?

I'm convinced that it's a mistake to be convinced that there's one simple single cause for a society-level issue.

In this topic, I wish more tools like databases, Big Data services, etc used WebSocket-based protocols. It would unlock so many cool applications straight within the browser.

I was reading the Expanse books and one thing that drew my attention is how easy and seamless they do data syncing over hours of light delay, asynchronous data updates, inter-operability... No way it would with our CRUDs and current SQL dat

Really? As a non-native speaker, for most videos for which I might have a need for subtitles they're perfectly useless.

As someone who doesn't get hero worship at all, your comment history just to defend him baffles me. It's so weird to see a grown man talking about how his idol is so much more manly and deserves trust for that. For the record, I h

I know that, and if monetary cost is the only thing you're measuring it's a perfectly good explanation and it's totally worth it to knowingly poison people for that.

I would count from the very introduction, because everyone knew from the start it was a bad idea but profits spoke louder.

Was it easy, though? We already knew it was a bad idea to start with, and yet it took almost a century to phase it out.

That was also the argument for putting lead in fuel for cars in the first place. The answer just seems "not enough political pressure to phase it out".

You're not really helping his image if the comeback you come up with is "they're jealous of Joe Rogan's testosterone". God, I certainly hope you're a teenager.

Yeah, I went to use my Mom's phone and I was appalled with all the ads and notifications. We can disable notifications, block intrusive ads or at least figure out which app is sending them to uninstall it, but for regular users the who

I've been practicing voluntary ignorance about Brazilian politics, and I'm a little proud I hadn't heard about this whole heart thing at all.

Words are cheap, aren't they, and even then there weren't that many words. In practical terms, what remains is basically no action against slavery, apart from some externally-pressured laws just to keep up appearances. It literall

Learning to shift gears while on traffic and without letting the engine die is one of the hardest parts of learning how to drive (together with parking). Granted, I'm a lousy driver, but it's the same for most people I talk to: le
