I like a lot of things about Clickhouse but one thing I'm afraid of is what happens when your data won't fit on a single machine. The replication and sharding seems pretty difficult and from reading the documentation feels like it

There's this military historian perspective [1] on why chemical weapons aren't used by regular militaries becase they aren't actually that effective (compared to spending the same effort on making normal explosives). It is sl

Around here all banks that used SMS for 2FA did that. You'd get sms detailing the transaction - whether it's log in, transfer or anything. In case it is a transfer, the text included the amount and destination account. Everyone mo

Yes. But also, since the giants do only the bare minimum of automated moderation with no oversight and no checks and balances, the systems are easy to game by bad actors. See the example of someone on HN saying his wife lost Whatsapp accoun

How would you make that practical? How long can you keep a bottle of kefir open before it goes bad?

That is likely true. I think people can also be misled and don't always think rationally - there has been a lot of "glorious empires" where the people were more invested in their country being "glorious empire" than

That is a lot of words to say "our genocide is justified". It is not. It can never be. If you think it can be, you don't belong in a society.

In videogame lingo, sanctions are a debuff. You won't see it working directly, but it very much contributes.
