Maybe it's time for the FDA to just do quality checks but otherwise screw off. I'm tired of having to order 100% safe drugs from Indian pharmacies. No question they are colluding with Big Pharma. Is there any reason the "Farmacia" model of Latin American countries, where you go in and pay per-pill for whatever you want wouldn't work here?

Aren't Adobe and Figma US-based companies? Why does the EU have any say in this?

I understand why OLAP writes are faster but is there any reason why OLTPs can't achieve similar read performance with denormalized and sharded data?

Promoting went from HTTP headers to HN comments.

So are the FCC able to levy whatever fine they'd like?

Very easy solution, allow every 4-year state college to have MD programs. Flood the market.

I tried setting up one of the open source servers and it was an awful experience. I dug around and it seems like most providers are using proprietary implementations or proprietary forks of servers that are no longer maintained. I was interested at the time in understanding how the big guys like Giganews and so on set up nntp, peering, storage, etc. Didn't get very far.

Seems odd to only charge developers. Make API use part of Gold and call it a day.

No but it means a fake 1P login page can be served and that will result in some non-zero number of people who didn't have a choice on a local sync having their credentials compromised. I am a huge 1P and I think their whitepapers show off their top-tier talent in the crypto space but killing local sync was a very crummy decision.

Is there a reason IPFS is a better fit for it's typical use cases than BT + DHT?

Was there really that much demand for this kind of app? I'm still going to check it out. Hopefully it's snappier than regular AM and they can use this app as a "testing ground" for changes to the other app.
