* Database sync of log events. * "Real" time updates.

Webhooks can already mostly handle the "real-time" event portion. Of course there are problems. as the article expounds on, but a lot of those won't magically get solved with other solutions either. Distributed real-time communication is hard. Webhooks are good enough for this purpose.

For the database of log events, personally I'd rather just have a SQLite DB I can yank whenever. Don't give me CSV or JSON or whatever I have to parse and manage, just give me a SQLite DB ready to go. I'd love you for it. I'll just take a whole fresh copy with everything thanks. Maybe you limit it to to the last X events, say 90 days or 365 days or whatever, depending on sizing of events, but just send it all every time I fetch and I'm happy enough. If I need to generate a delta to keep some other DB in sync, well that's my problem. Just give every row a stable identifier.

SQLite is also a replacement for fopen()[0]. if you need to read/write data files, I recommend using SQLite instead. Replace your CSV's with SQLite, etc.

Why does the perf hit matter to you? Are you trying to run WASM binaries of PG in production? That seems like a terrible idea.

That's what Cosmopolitan/APE does though, and they deliver a python:

* Source: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/

* Python Binary: https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/python which is ~ 40MB.

* Python Source: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/third_party...

* Python Binary: https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/python which is ~ 40MB.

Apparently you can zip your .py files in with the python binary and make it run, but I haven't had a chance to try and play with that yet.

Are you having issues with it when it's always connected?

Same, you are not alone. The Tailscale VPN stuff just works. None of their competitors can claim this that I'm aware of. We tried several other products and none of them were as reliable and 'just worked'. I imagine they spend a lot of time just keeping that stuff working.

If you are an owner with all the control, i.e. you are on the board or in corporate leadership(CEO/CFO/etc), then hey guess what,there is a really great cell here at the local prison just waiting for you, depending on how involved you were.

If you are an owner with little to no control, i.e. most shareholders that just vote for the board, etc. The assets would get liquidated, bond/debt holders would get paid back, and then anything left over would go to these shareholders.

This would incentivize shareholders to care more about what they are owning, this is a good thing. Even if it's pension funds and individual retirement accounts. This would get sorted pretty quickly as soon as the new normal is known and adjusted for.

SpaceX for example just went public, but if you read the docs, the control was not given to the public. Elon Musk 100% controls SpaceX still. Even if every public shareholder unanimously agrees against Elon Musk, guess what happens? Elon Musk still gets his way.

I don't know what the parent comment was thinking, but to my mind, the ones with the most control get the worst of the consequences. So Pension Funds/etc that hold little to no control would get paid out before those with more control.

Clearly the engineering team didn't know ahead of time that Electrify America would be the end result of dieselgate. Had they known, perhaps they would have been more eager to do the engineering work though! haha

It was just a fun inside joke, since nobody could have assumed the fines would create Electrify America. Personally I'm glad Electrify America exists, though the way it happened was probably not the best path to get here.

EA even has successfully moved on from just being an org forced into existence and are actively trying to take care of customers and produce a good product now that they have some competition.

Exactly.

Technically when bonds "go to $0", you actually get priority over any corporate assets vs stock ownership, but if the bond went to $0, there is likely not a lot of assets left either. So you can't expect to get saved completely from whatever asset sale happens.
