> Next, we've got more than just two tables. The quote/paraphrase doesn't make it clear, but we've got two tables per thing. That means Accounts have an "account_thing" and an "account_data" table, Subreddits have a "subreddit_thing" and "subreddit_data" table, etc.
And the important lesson from that the k/v-like aspect of it. That the "schema" is horizontal (is that a thing?) and not column-based. But I actually only read it on their blog IIRC and never even got the full details - that there's still a third ID column. Thanks for the link.
Leaving out ‘When did he pay to have someone killed’ from your question is disingenuous, because he directly did that.
He facilitated drug sales. If you setup ‘clucks brick and mortar Silk Road’ you’d be just as guilty.
I don’t think that was ever rosses ethical objective though, I’m pretty sure he felt that drugs should be less illegal and safe. I’m under the impression that Silk Road had rules on what could be sold, and that post SR markets do allow those things, but I could be wrong.
Allegedly. The charge that he paid to have someone killed was never brought into court and never ruled on. Federal agents had access to the site at that point and could have posed the chat. Not really provable one way or the other.
Not defending him, but clarifying that it's not proven "he directly did that"
The OSL was transformative for my career as a budding CS student in Corvallis many years ago. I can’t say enough good things about the positive impact it has on the Open Source community and the students it employs.
In my experience, there isn’t a great on-ramp for learning to be a SysAdmin (or devop, etc) in a practical sense. Learning what it takes to support systems in “Production” with actual users, and all that entails, at some point requires a hands-on approach. Finding entry-level opportunities to do that isn’t easy until you have /some/ experience. The OSL provides that, and supports countless FOSS projects in the process. It’s really a great arrangement.
Obviously I’m biased, but the Open Source Lab should be viewed as one of the Crown Jewels of OSU.
You may not even be able to get real MDiscs any more [0] and I'm always extremely dubious of 1000 year lifespans since they're effectively impossible to test.
> Hopefully this can put closure to the speculation. Our organization is a databank and is a big user of mdisc for archiving. We reached out to Verbatim last week about this Media Identification Code (MID) discrepancy. Here is their reply, in their own words ---- "The creator of the MDisc technology- Millenniata went out of business in 2017, they sold the technology to Mitsubishi, who until 2019 owned Verbatim. Due to this, the stamper ID changed, but the formula & the disc materials stayed the same. Mitsubishi sold Verbatim & all the technologies to CMC in December of 2020. Verbatim is the only company authorized to sell the original technology. Any Millenniata discs available were all produced before 2017 when the company shut down and any other brand is not the original technology." ----- So there it is, mdiscs with either the 'VERBAT' or 'MILLEN' prefix are fine. Just different production periods. Cheers.
There are 100 GB BDXL flavors of M-Disc, but yeah definitely not enough for really large amounts of data but large enough to store a good chunk of my photos which is mostly what I'd want to keep around.

Microsoft then funded a 'Fast CPython' team that included Guido, to realize that goal. They disbanded the team in June.
