The content makes child-like arguments[0] and contradictory statements[1] to the point where it feels like an unstable foundation to have a conversation. It's like trying to have a debate where neither side agrees with the foundational logic of the other sides arguments.

The Jepsen tests passed with the "linearizable" read concern. The default read concern is "local", which "Provides no guarantee that the data has been written to a majority of the replica set members (i.e. may be rolled back)."[1] This is like having "READ UNCOMMITTED" be the default read level in a traditional database system.

The Jepsen tests passed with the "majority" write concern. The default write concern is "1", which means only the "primary" in a replica set needs to acknowledge the write[2]. This does not guarantee safety in the face of network partitions.

It's still not safe out of the box.

There are approximately 3x10^28 molecules of water per cubic meter (assuming pure water, which is obviously not the case).

A third of the way to the moon, there are approximately 7x10^6 molecules of hydrogen per cubic meter[0].

From high earth orbit (assume 60k km), it's about 300k km to the moon.

The average depth of the ocean is about 3.5km.

For simplification, let's assume that a molecule of water and a molecule of hydrogen have the same density (which they don't)

From high earth orbit, in a straight line to the moon, there would be about 2x10^12 hydrogen molecules in the way.

From the ocean surface to the average depth, there would be about 1x10^32 water molecules in the way.

Not getting into the optical properties of water vs hydrogen, or the fact that the math is much different for a probe orbiting the moon, there's just more "stuff" between the ocean surface and the ocean floor, and a satellite and the moon.

You can turn it off.

Is "don't use a lock" really the answer to "my key was stolen"?

Put the green servers in one cluster, the blue servers in another cluster. Then use the route configuration to switch between the two.

Marshall, Tx has a population of about 25k. Yet, the city continues to get donations from Samsung which has patent cases in the district[0][1]. My own hometown was quite a bit larger than 25k, but I don't ever recall having major corporate sponsors of a wide variety of activities.

While I don't know the thoughts of Samsung or Judge Gilstrap, I imagine he's very popular for bring so much business to town.

Tracking the bill doesn't help, because as soon as it's in the bank, what happens to it (and how it's exchanged), is hidden from you. Mixers work the same way.

The above poster suggests even worse.

"until you are actually in the United States, you have no reasonable expectation of the Bill of Rights.". They suggest you have no constitutional rights outside of the US border. Forget your cell phone, this would imply that black bag operations are completely legal as long as the US citizen is outside of US borders at the time.

Median household income in the U. S. is $56K.

So the person is making the same amount as the median 'household'.

"The Dark Sky Places program offers five types of designations:

...

International Dark Sky Parks

Parks are publicly- or privately-owned spaces protected for natural conservation that implement good outdoor lighting and provide dark sky programs for visitors.

International Dark Sky Reserves

Reserves consist of a dark 'core' zone surrounded by a populated periphery where policy controls are enacted to protect the darkness of the core."

"Keep your budget in check with low-cost, per-minute billing. You only pay for the compute time you use."

The legal term for that the government is seeking is "declaratory judgement"[0].

"A declaratory judgment, also called a declaration, is the legal determination of a court that resolves legal uncertainty for the litigants. It is a form of legally binding preventive adjudication by which a party involved in an actual or possible legal matter can ask a court to conclusively rule on and affirm the rights, duties, or obligations of one or more parties in a civil dispute (subject to any appeal)."

Here the government is asking the court to declare that the subject matter is off limits, and not available to be released, as a matter of law.

Declaratory judgments are probably best known here on HN with regards to patent litigation. If a company receives a 'cease and desist', alleging the non-licensed use of a patent, that company might file for a declaratory judgement that their product does not actual infringe on the patent.

Boyle wasn't speaking about Jesus' ressurection.

"Accordingly, whether plaintiff's claim to have invented e-mail is "fake" depends upon the operative definition of "e-mail". Because that definition does not have a single, objectively correct answer, the claim is incapable of being proved true or false."

Since defamation requires a false statement, and because the definition of e-mail can't be proven true or false, it can't be defamation.
