Yes. p2p systems would be the alternative and would, as a whole, process billions of messages but in a distributed way where each node only processes ~100. I'm further suggesting there there is a relationship between scale and ethics,

Philosophically, isn't it wrong to process billions of events in real time? I mean, the magnitude of the moral hazard is astounding. The alternative isn't to stop sending messages, but rather to not put them through a bottleneck

Like the post but I would add "Ford v Ferrari" there. A synthetic 100T test is much like an F1 course - not something you deal with during your commute, but it's nice to know what the limit is, and that there are people pushi

You don't have to be in charge of launch codes to worry about this one. I mean, if anyone can 'npm install rowhammer' and reliably attack anyone that visits their site, even in a modern browser, then it's time to turn js

What kind of levers do big ISPs/cloud providers want over their CPUs, other than the basic efficiency gains we all want? Isn't it risky doing any customization since you don't get commodity pricing?

Um, how concerned should I be about this? Is it time to turn off javascript in the browser? And if it is, is this not the End Times for browser distributed software? I ask because sometimes you need to ask if it's really the end of the

Do a lot of people start internet businesses aiming for a small sustainable lifestyle business? I personally think that's a very healthy place to end-up, but I suspect that a lot of ambitious people would consider it a kind of consolat

This is my understanding as well. Although it would be interesting if Indian law forbids entities from signing away this right. (Not all contracts are valid in all jurisdictions - which is certainly well-known to the general public, because

"Rational founder" is a contradiction, at least if you believe that a rational actor maximizes the expected value of their life. The modern rational actor pursues the low-risk, high reward professions in finance, law, and medicine

That Apple would do this is interesting, but more interesting to me is Google's position, and obligation, here. There was a throw-away line in the article about Google "not doing anything about it". What could or should Googl

How to put this. Not all suicides are created equal. I think some have more of a point than others. It is a final, powerful shout of hopelessness, an expression of resistance against a society that has thoroughly abandoned you. And, in the

The guy killed himself and posters are mentioning "credible DV allegations" to imply "good, glad he's dead, he (probably) deserved it." This is the concrete outcome of a much broader consequence of exempting women f

Humans in general get angry, lie, are violent. Power corrupts humans. Corruption is more likely if you're angry. These things hold true for all humans: men, women, adults, children, young, old, rich, poor, black, white, etc. Yet women,

Size is a trade-off that is easy to ignore in the moment of installation. And so far we've mostly gotten away with it. It's not going to last. The trade-off used to be about computer resources (disk size, network bandwidth), but n
