My claim, this entire time, is that the reality is that you, as an individual, have no rights to consent or volunteer beyond what society bestows upon you. Your usage of documents from the founding of the United States of America, if anyth

This view makes no sense given any cursory view of history. What about European countries going to the Americas, taking people's land (with out consent) and gold (without consent) to enrich themselves? Or what about the relative succ

It does not require believing in determinism to believe a majority of one's outcome is based on context that they do not control. For myself, I didn't choose which country I was born in (I happen to be born in a wealthy country).

I don't know! But I don't think that changes the argument very much. Unless one thinks that we can choose to be smart or a fast learner or have interests that happen to be lucrative, we should be very thoughtful about how we choo

> It seems like a lot to assume that suggests the author is not a fast technical learner and builder. Unless you think one can choose to be a "fast technical leaner and builder", then that is still luck.

Not all charities are created equal and you can find rankings of them to see which would make the best use of the donated money. There are whole organizations designed around tracking this. But one thing to be thoughtful about is it a cha

Walmart has been a tech company since the 80s. The way Walmart got so big is that the created a literal network between stores so they could do logistics at scale. They had the largest database at the time. Walmart is still the largest co

jj might be the future. I certainly hope git is not. My current system is Mercurial with hg-git and evolve, and so far I find this to be fantastic for local development. There are a few rough edges but I just find hg so simple to use and

No, I don't think that Dropbox should manufacture its own hard drives. The main reason is that switching hard drive manufacturers can be done piecemeal as you need to buy them. Getting data out of S3 if the contract negotiations go b

I, too, found this "exactly-once" language really unclear and a turn-off. What does it actually say that is meaningful and helpful? I can run a transaction in any language and I get, surprise, transactional semantics.

Dropbox's business IS storage, which means running on top of storage is always going to be a threat and cut into their margins. What incentive does AWS have to give Dropbox a really sweet S3 deal? They know Dropbox needs the storage.

I don't really understand what this comment is responding to. The comment I responded to hand waved away consuming almost 50% of your pps on heartbeats every 30 seconds as "no big deal".

Well, people are people, and nobody does anything with 100% accuracy. You, trying to put this on the people, is pretty despicable. Context matters a lot. Education matters a lot. Life gets in the way. It sucks. But when you have 8+ bi

While I appreciate the author's humility, I don't appreciate them putting it on to me. These questions have answers, just not the ones the author is looking for. The answer is the process. You take your context, your objectives

Great, thank you. I think what your initial comment was missing is it implied just being a quack was somehow a path to new ideas. What his is missing, in the context of Seyfreid, is that what Seyfreid is promoting: 1. Has been studied quite
