No, we made fun of the 'mesh of servers' giving n*n connections to deal with and pointed out that's 'not how physics works'.

He effectively describes microservices (which is a loving huge commercial buzzword for lambda et al) while ignoring all the messy 'communication' that has to take place that increases the latency in whatever loop you're trying to build.

People ran into the same poo poo when they tried to make everything on a page an ajax call, not taking into account connection blocking.

I keep reading that and my brain just keeps rejecting it. It reads like he is proclaiming he is able to run multiple instances of the games servers on one box and as such wants them to have all the players sync with each other. The term out of touch has been thrown around but he keeps saying poo poo like he has never been near a PC since windows 98 was released and only hears techy words in the hallway when Ben isn't blocking it.

Hey Don, I don't know where you live (I will soon, I have contacted Doxxo Dogge to find out), but here in New Zealand any company that holds information about people/costumers have to have a person who is designated the privacy officer (can have other main job like a shift manager or accounts person) but it is up to them to be aware of all the privacy laws.

Ask who you are dealing with who is their privacy officer and tell them you wish to deal directly with them.

I found this all out after asking a pizza store to delete my personal information they held on me (name, address, phone number, previous orders, credit card info) and them saying they had only for it to be very obvious they had not, many times (over four times over a few months they told me they would/had but did not). Took me about 5 months all up to be satisfy that they had.

Then about a year later a Blogger broke the story that an ex-owner was keeping a copy of all the costumers data and was using it in his advertising company.

I only wanted them to delete my info to find out if they would and how easy it would be. Was a real eye opener.

I still sometimes get pizza from there, that was never the issue, it was there data collection I wondered about. This happened about 8 years ago.

They also never made me aware they where collecting this personal data outside of their website, it was when I realised that they where storing more than just the website info that I got interested.

It's pretty good. It's Galaxy On Fire cross-bred with [rogue clone du jour] — Space:y without being overly so, and decent enough procedurally generated environments. It's perhaps a bit aimless, like so many other pseudo-sandboxes, but if you like shooting things and collecting bits, then it scratches that itch just fine.

Without spoiling anything, what that means is there has been an investigation and any kind of details pertaining to that investigation while it is ongoing is considered Obstruction. What you can extract from that is that the investigation is concluded and there was/is sufficient evidence to place before a grand jury for indictment. Once that happens then those details can be spoken about freely.

Feel free to please spoil it for me!

So, just curious, how would Derek know that the investigation has concluded? Wouldn't the indictment be a public record? Is there a solid way he could know this for sure while most others would not? Or is this more of a "My uncle works at the courthouse" sort of situation?

No, what it means is that it is quite very possible that Derek or someone Derek is in contact with is actually a part of that investigation.

It doesn't have to be Federal. State level prosecution works in almost the same manner. And like I said, it's POSSIBLE that Derek himself is involved or that someone that Derek is in contact with is and is giving him this information. We all like to make fun of him but one thing I believe we can all agree on is that anyone can look like a lunatic when we have burning knowledge of something but can't talk about it and can only make hints.

CIG wouldn't be conducting the investigation so I'd expect at least a sliver of professionalism.

It slays me though that anyone would believe that if there was any sort of investigation that derek would be involved in any way at all.
