Who would win, the space industrial complex or one shiney balloon boy? Given the other comment about this below ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38044638 ), I'm surprised this hasn't been done sooner though, I

My question is, did they have to apply for an ITAR license?

Um, theyre putting (nontraditional) sails on cargo ships now, does that count?

The state ultimately is the one that is giving permission here on behalf of people, much the same way as the FDA decides when a medication is safe enough to be administered, or the FAA when a plane is ready, etc.,

I'm hoping personally that driverless cars will enable new build out of mass transit by allowing for greater freedom in last mile transport, we'll see :)

I think I understand, I've also fallen victim to losing track of things, so I understand. If you haven't, maybe having a policy of trying to have zero security issues in the backlog would help here? That way things can't get

The roman empire also relied heavily on slave labor from captured territories and gifts from the wealthy.

Isn't exactly once delivery the kind of problem like the CAP thereom where it's not possible? You can make the downstream idemptoent wrt what the queue is delivering, but the queue might still redeliver things.

It's unclear to me (not that I necessarily need to know), but do you believe in the end that the vulnerability as described there worked, and if so, do you know why you failed to reproduce it?

Probably not, road damage is mostly from heavy duty vehicles (think semi trucks) or weather. See: https://www.insidescience.org/news/how-much-damage-do-heavy-... . A few x heavier car will damage them more, but probably

I feel like streamers are harder to get than viewers. Viewers just need to go to the site and watch a streamer, but a streamer needs to set it up to stream. They could probably get viewers back fairly easy through advertising or tie ins to

Hm, I think they talked about the server some... It's possible there's a server coordinating things and the client talks to steam for the actual data, but that sounds (even more) complicated.

Losing viewers is probably better than losing steamers, without steamers twitch is nothing.

I wonder where they're hosting this, since most cloud providers would cost a fortune to download all the data.

Wow, that's a really nice looking UI.

They say they're planning to implement prediction, so learning from previous play of a game to learn what's going to be requested next and fetch it. Not sure how well it works.

Eh, sure, but also the videos have a bit of a delay. It looks like the frontpage itself is aggressively cacheable (no personalization), so it's not too surprising it's fast.

CRDTs can still involve a server, just not necessarily in the middle of everything. Consider you could have connections authenticated by the server, for one. E.g., someone connects peer to peer to you and claims some privilege etc., you cou
