Considering the great lengths the SQLite source goes through to validate correctness (code that rides in critical airplane systems gets no free lunch), I'd be immediately concerned a "SQLite in ______" lacks remotely the same degree of vigor in ensure implementation correctness. The overhead in using cgo feels like a small price to not worry "SQLite in Go" will remain maintained to the same degree the base SQLite project is.

There is an expectation that where I live won't just be rezoned industrial to make way for more Amazon warehouses.

Is that 1.4 million shares before, or after, the 5:1 split?

We must keep filing taxes complicated, for the sake of Capitalism! This reads like Huxley.

I've very much wanted to tile them across a wall of my house to make a virtual/dynamic "smart wall" for quite a while. Even a B/W version would be sufficient. Last time I checked in was late 2018 and at that time there wasn't a good sub-six-figure solution. It'd also require a lot of manual work on each cell since the cells didn't have a zero width bezel for gapless tiling.

People actually will have to tune into politics since the differences will be diminished and you can't simply push the red or blue button and be done with it. 'aint nobody got time for that!

Highly recommend reading Reamde first if you can. The story is entirely different, but is the same world and comes chronologically first; I felt the continuity added a lot when reading Fall.

And Smart TVs which lack the computational power/storage/memory to serve traffic.

You're grossly oversimplifying the complexity involved with "streaming" a video. Specifically in the context of a service like Disney+ or Netflix. Additionally how do you "find" that content near you? How do you ensure it is available? How do you ensure it is correct? Who owns it? How do you ensure copyright/drm/licenses are respected? What do you do when it disappears? The gains are incredibly slim, if at all, for the engineering challenges it introduces.

You also confuse "CDN somewhere" with OpenConnect box literally inside your ISP's DC. It is probably faster to get it this way than it would be to P2P it from your neighbor since, at the end of the day, that P2P traffic _must_ go through your ISP and their ISP. It will not, by definition, peer at the local hub. You are _NOT_ on a local network with your building/neighbors/etc. Your communication routes to your ISP and then out to anywhere else, even if that somewhere else is on the other side of your wall.

Even if it was possible. Even if it was slightly faster. Do you really think studio execs are going to be okay with customers hosting/serving their content off their machines? Even _IF_ this was "technically" a good idea, this is a non-starter from the business standpoint.

I think you are overestimating the capabilities, and potential "savings", of P2P here. For one, OpenConnect already does what you're suggesting at the "city" level since it's sitting in ISP DCs. Second, there are minimal gains in the last mile via P2P, if at all, considering the numerous types of devices streaming. How do you handle TVs that are already memory constrained by the streaming app? Do mobile devices constantly upload and eat up your bandwidth cap? What if you're streaming from a neighbor who turns off their computer? Do you need to refetch data from some distant host? Is that really a better experience? You also run into privacy/security concerns. How do you reconcile hosts that _cannot_ leverage P2P? Do you now need to support a "P2P" mode and legacy/vintage non-P2P mode? This doesn't sound good for the end user.

Would you be so kind to pass some to me? Popcorn that is.

As I understand it Netflix has hardware in ISP data centers to do exactly that. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/
