The identity of a repo is its url so yes, the identity part is decentralized

You'll have to explain how diverse forms of wealth are formed then, rooted in a scientific analysis of the thing

Do you have some data on that ? Because the majority of people inside far-left organizations are just not, and I don't base that on superficial myths but on actually talking with people

I'm sorry but this is just too naive. There is no honesty in most people working for a wage that is barely enough to survive, while capital owners don't actually do anything and still receive an inconsiderate amount of money. There is no trading here, just a good old theft of all the produced value with just enough redistribution to buy back the stolen value. No billionaire ever became billionaire by trading anything only by stealing other's work.

That's assuming that the population has any power, which in pretty much all countries in the world is not true. "Democracy" isn't just a value to behold, if the population has no power, it has no power and a country can't be called as such out of nowhere. Now, the people might have no actual power, but it's in their hands to get it.

> Western-style billionaires do the former, as their wealth is created by providing services to people

I'm sorry but this is just not based on reality. Wealth has always been formed by taking away from those who produce value. No one asked for 1000 new phone models every year, no one asked for 1000 new car models every year, no one asked for a million new kind of clothes every year. Services aren't provided, they are forced on people who just are not allowed to function without them and must work with and in those services, while billionaires don't produce anything, don't do anything yet get all the money.

No, the snapshotting and restore is manual

Then you have to do your research on whether domestic roles have an equal status to non-domestic roles, and not rest on your preconceptions

If it's a common enough occurrence to have _all_ your nodes down at the same time maybe you should reevaluate your deployment choices. The whole point of multi-nodes clustering is that _some_ of the nodes will always be up and running otherwise what you're doing is useless.

Also, garage gives you the possibility to automatically snapshot the metadata, advices on how to do the snapshotting at the filesystem level and to restore that.

> Ahead of the International Women's Day, a UNESCO study revealed worrying tendencies in Large Language models (LLM) to produce gender bias, as well as homophobia and racial stereotyping. Women were described as working in domestic roles far more often than men ¬– four times as often by one model – and were frequently associated with words like “home”, “family” and “children”, while male names were linked to “business”, “executive”, “salary”, and “career”.

> Our analysis proves that bias in LLMs is not an unintended flaw but a systematic result of their rational processing, which tends to preserve and amplify existing societal biases encoded in training data. Drawing on existentialist theory, we argue that LLM-generated bias reflects entrenched societal structures and highlights the limitations of purely technical debiasing methods.

> We find that the portrayals generated by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 contain higher rates of racial stereotypes than human-written por- trayals using the same prompts. The words distinguishing personas of marked (non-white, non-male) groups reflect patterns of othering and exoticizing these demographics. An inter- sectional lens further reveals tropes that domi- nate portrayals of marginalized groups, such as tropicalism and the hypersexualization of mi- noritized women. These representational harms have concerning implications for downstream applications like story generation.

Why would you not talk about your divorce ? It's also a part of your life

The internet and the web were, and still are, made by and for white rich men. It's not about who can be a prick, everyone can. It's about what the ecosystem pushes towards, and it's not the safety and general good life of women, black people, handicapped people, etc...

That's why you need to go to other regions, not remain in the same area. Putting all your eggs in one basket (single area) _is_ stupid. Having a single shutdown command for the whole cluster _is_ stupid. Still accepting writes when the system is in a degraded state _is_ stupid. Don't make it sound worse than it actually is just to prove your point.

I disagree that it's bad, it's a choice. You can't protect against everything. The team made calculations and decided that the cost to protect against this very low probability is not worth it. If all the nodes lose power you may have a bigger problem than that

Oh, read-your-writes is definitely not a solution to all problems, but to ditch it and go directly for strong consistency is... a bit radical
