I agree that Google Cloud offering different response times for different support tiers is consistent with the industry at large.

That being said, Google Cloud support is overly expensive. $150/month Vs. $49/month for AWS Vs. $29/month ($174 minimum commitment over six months) for Azure.

I wish all them had a "per issue" tier. I want to pay for a single ticket/resolution. But at least Google Cloud and AWS don't have a minimum commitment period like Azure (even if Azure is cheap per month).

I'd likely rank them:

- AWS is best (alright price with no commitment).

- Azure is next (amazing price but lame commitment).

- Google Cloud is worst (high price, almost as much as six months at Azure!).

And before you tell me that they offer different things at those price points I DON'T CARE. All I care about is the minimum amount of money I have to pay someone to look at a technical support ticket for me. I don't care if it takes 1 or 48 hours, I just don't want to pay a lot. If I cared about responsiveness I'd be buying the gold plated support with telephone agents.

Google Cloud's $150 to look at one ticket thing really puts me off the entire platform.
The USP of Data Science in Business
Also worth noting that Google built an automated tool to handle the M/S to HRD datastore migration for you. It was remarkably painless.
To make things more complicated: the size of your desk isn't fixed because the universe is expanding. So the units you are using are just a convention to relate the size of an object to the size of other objects.
It's not so much a question of what you throw away when you move as it is a question of what you're using regularly. I'll be moving for work soon, and I'll be throwing away/donating/discarding quite a few things that I will then buy on the other end. It's just not economical to ship a mattress, unless you're packing things into a UHaul, and that's not the only example. I would happily rail against the concept of disposable goods, but that's not the same thing.
Regardless of why Spotify phased it out, I think peer-to-peer is fundamentally the wrong way to deliver that kind of paid service. If I'm paying Spotify for the service, then Spotify should bear the cost of delivering it. Not me, and not other customers, in the form of increased bandwidth and power consumption.
Doubting this. I lived with my grandparents for awhile in the 1980s, in their neighborhood which was established in the 1950s. I remember everybody had their own everything - tools, lawnmowers, snowblowers, ladders etc. Borrowing happened, but there were socially acceptable reasons for it - something was broken, you just moved in from the city and hadn't bought everything you needed yet, etc. Anyone who habitually borrowed the same thing over and over just because they didn't want to buy it would have been ostracized.
This does not look good. As somebody heavily in favor of decriminalization and legalization I am afraid the US is going the ruin the whole project, due to the way they are implementing this.

American traits of moralizing and money obsessed are showing some bad trends here.

My opinion favoring legalization is based on a desire to take the organized crime out of the equation and avoid turning lots of normal teenagers into criminals.

But like everything else it just looks like the US is totally overdoing this. Huge pot companies with advertisement and lots of variation of products and financial muscles is definitely NOT what I wished for.

With this approach one risks getting more new users than ever and get existing users to develop new bad habits. All these edibles makes my head shake.

I lived many years in the Netherlands where pot has been decriminalized for a long time. There is none of this American big capitalist approach to drug sales.

I don't like the attitudes of pro-legalization people in the US. They wont accept that there are negative sides to drug use and seem to think there should be no restrictions.

It is as if there is never any middle ground in the US. Either you got the moralists who spell doom or you got people who think you should be free to do however dam you please. Where are the pragmatic people who accept it is a bad thing to do drugs but that a strict regulation is a better solution than a war on drugs.

I just hope the Canadians can manage to do this is a more sensible way.
Google Cloud interacts with the core of Google's business (web services that needs scalable data infrastructure) in a way Parse never did for Facebook.
You (and others) misinterpeted my comment and missed the point. I purposely wrote it a bit obtuse as a firewall of sorts.

Consider the broader philosophical implications of what I wrote. And proving it was a simulation would explain all those questions you proposed.

I have asked some of the smartest people I know about this topic, and no one seems to know.

It would be awesome if someone reading this thread knew something unique about it and emailed me. That's my only motivation.

jeffwas has explained the factor of 2pi. It's just the 2pi radians in a circle to convert from angular frequencies to regular frequencies.

I don't know the detailed history, but in practice the fact that it's an inverse is essentially because it's most important role is as part of an expansion like a Taylor series. The standard method for calculating lots of observable effects gives an answer with the form

X = X_0 + \alphaX_1 + \alpha^2X_2/2! + ...
That makes sense, but were you already aware of the "DMT elf" mythology before taking the drug? If so, that could've influenced a lot of your experience.

Otherwise, I think that could be a plausible explanation. Though I've read about people actually talking to the elves, or hearing things from them, which would be weird if the elves were themselves.
The amount in the bank account is very, very different than the budget. A startup should not be tracking its money on such a simple basis. Without categories (or envelopes) the amount of cash is pretty meaningless without knowing if is clear to spend.
Maybe, maybe not. Here's the obligatory 'what worked for me'.

I looked at a bundle of research and treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy appeared to have better long-term outcomes and after 10 years or so of depression and several years of anxiety I had never tried it.

So I gave up the 'I'm stuck with this forever' mentality and started retraining my brain to not have the anxiety response. After roughly 6 months of work I was able to shake it and I'm not on SSRI, Benzos or whatever.

IMO anxiety is recursive, having anxiety gives people anxiety and trains you to have an anxiety response (see hebbian learning). Getting out of that loop is a huge deal.

We've recently released Subnetworks [1], which let you segment your network in a similar way to AWS's VPC. We've been working closely with customers to ensure that we're building out the platform in a way that works for everyone, up to very large, technically adept, customers like Spotify.

(Many of the other features of VPC, such as a worldwide network rather than a regional one, were built in from day 1.)

Well, it's the same problem as laser tag: it relies on players being honest. For that reason, I can't imagine playing this with strangers.
You most definitely know a lot more about code than me. So I'm not challenging you at all. But my contention is that robustness is a function of resilience. C has a class of errors which are hard to spot for foot-soldiers, and sometimes even generals which can leave deadly chinks unspotted for long. If Rust attempts to do away with those specific type of errors altogether, what's wrong with that? Rewriting code.
And if that seems like a challenge worth attempting for some people, I can't fault it. And in the process maybe we will discover more bugs, or maybe something better. Its evolution, no?
Some of the "promo images" on that page looks quite similar to what Niantec uses to promote Ingress, yes. But neither game really looks anything like the promotion pictures.

Damiani Dolce Bianco, a blended table white. It's an eminently drinkable white wine, pairs well with chicken, pasta, or dishes with a citrus element. Alternatively, it's light enough that you can simply drink it on its own over the course of an evening. Drink it chilled, and I highly recommend sharing with friends.

You'll have a lot of trouble finding it for sale unless you happen to live in the upstate NY area; they're a small winery in the Finger Lakes region. I visited them once when I was living in that area, and discovered later that their table white could be bought at my local Century Wine and Liquor for ten bucks. At the time, I was living with some friends and none of us were making very much money (we were all immediately post-college), and that bottle of wine was the backdrop to basically all of our social gatherings and group dinners. A couple years later, when I moved out to California, I sent the winery an email letting them know how much I had enjoyed drinking their wine with my friends, and how sad I was that I was no longer in an area where they had distribution. In response, they offered to sell me a case for ten percent off, and covered shipping as a wedding present for my upcoming wedding.

It's worth noting here that while I'm presenting this story as an example of how nice the winemakers are, it should be stressed that they are not unusual in this regard! If you live in an area that has vineyards and wineries, you should go visit and do tastings! You can probably find cheap wines that you like, you can build relationships with the people who make the wines, and you will enjoy the wine even more for it. It's boatloads of fun to bring a bottle of wine to dinner with friends and say "Now, I know the folks who make this, they're especially proud of this bottle. Let me know what you think!"
The commercial got me so stoked - like a kid again playing games with only you imagination outside! I'm so excited to see the progress on this!

Regardless of the hearsay posted on FlyerTalk, I find it very difficult to believe any Big Corp would allow a purchasing manager to accept any kind of personal kickback from a supplier, period. Maybe a small corp like the principal of a small consulting firm that does a lot of travel, but no publicly traded company would allow this.
My mom, and to a lesser extent myself, have some attachment issues to old stuff. It's not quite like "Hoarders" but it's worse than it has to be, with lots of books and boxes and boxes of books, shelves buried behind boxes, etc.

Basically, all the stuff we have is a method of remembering the past, and if you are very sentimental, some of it crosses over into "If I get rid of the object, I lose the memory". Trashing stuff then becomes difficult because I have to get past that towards the practical element of "this is just clutter 99% of the time and it impedes my future self", on top of concerns like "I don't want to just trash it if it has value" which make it 10 times as difficult to eliminate stuff.

I'm attacking the problem now with a slow-paced weekly streak to clean and organize things. I don't necessarily throw things out every week, but I do document what I have and how to categorize it. That way I can make a decision without having to open a box and bring out the stuff.
Google's core business is ads. Parse makes a lot of sense strategically for facebook, a big moat that they have built is around being your identity on the internet. Parse's platform encourages app developers to use facebook login as a core component of their apps. So even despite being ancillary to their business, they shut it down. Building a technology company around an ecosystem is potentially a lot riskier than people take it as. Especially one with a lot of proprietary bells and whistles..

I didn't word it well, but basically instead of buying more servers (increasing CapEx) you spend more OpEx instead, but not all at once. So it's better on the balance sheet because less is being spend up front (Even though it's more overall).

If you mean the building, it's because they can take advantage of the gains and add that to their balance sheet and then slowly spend it back down.
> We don't have enough experience with 2 to indicate whether it will create new classes of bugs.

What classes of security bugs could possibly arise from Rust's ownership discipline?
Ok, in case one it seems that the flight attendant or the women acquiesced.

What happened in case 1 is more of a toss up, so I'd say that it proves both of our points. The person asked to move, but the women ended up moving.

Given that, there is a 2/2 split of the other cases.

There is no evidence to suggest that either of us are right.

The difference is that guns are inherently dangerous: their main purpose is to cause destruction and harm, while encryption is not inherently dangerous. One person with access to a gun can head down to the mall or a school and wreak massive havok. Can you say the same about one person with an RSA-2048 algorithm?

I don't think the comparison between guns and encryption is fair at all, if anything, encryption might be like the balaclava that the shooter uses to cover their identity.
You probably don't want to use BLAKE as the poster child for this argument, since it uses two sets of constants of distinct provenance: the initialization vector, which uses the same constants as SHA-2, i.e., the square roots of the first 8 primes, and the constants used in the compression function, which are indeed the expansion of pi. BLAKE2 got rid of the pi constants.
I was on vacation when a trip to Beijing was planned for me. The secretary, for reasons I don't expect I'll ever know or understand, insisted on flying Eastern China Airlines. Complete with an extra stop in Shanghai... It might be different now (this was like 6 years ago) but it was very much "the people's airline" then. It wasn't just very tight seating with limited recline capacity, but there were some strong odors as well. Not sure a valium would have got it done. It's the only time I attempted to buy an upgrade mid-flight. The American flights to and from L.A. on the American side were delightful.

Maybe the idea was to help with the culture shock in the same way "getting jumped in" helps you adapt to gang-life.
The problem is that there's no easy and workable way to share most stuff, even though it'd be nice so we didn't need to own so much stuff.

Tools, for instance: if something breaks in your house, you need a tool right now if you want to fix it. Your toilet stops up? You need a plunger, NOW. You sure as hell don't want to sign up to borrow or rent one and wait a week for that. And do you really want to use someone else's plunger? What if they didn't clean it after using it?

There's all kinds of problems with the borrowing and renting models. People don't take care of stuff they borrow/rent (and some people don't take care of their own stuff). People don't return it on time. They break it. And what kind of stuff can you borrow/rent? A lot of times, it's substandard junk, or otherwise not up to your standards. What if you want to rent a table saw instead of buying your own, but the only model available is some plastic piece of junk with horrible accuracy? You might as well not even bother with a crappy saw like that if you're trying to do any real woodworking. This is typically the case with tool rentals: the tools they rent out are barely usable, and if they ever were, they're so abused when you get them that it's not worth the rental fee. Better to just buy your own, so you can get something good, and with so little use it'll stay in good shape for a long time, and be ready to use whenever you need it. Sure, it means you have to haul around more stuff when you move, but it also means you can do a lot of things without going through a lot of logistical challenges, or having to pay a lot of money to rent stuff, of having to wait.

You said you have a bag of mountain-climbing gear you rarely use. That stuff is, I presume, gear that your life depends on. If a carabeener (sp?) fails, you can fall to your death, right? Would you want to rent some ropes and other gear that you don't know how it's been treated or maintained, or could be some cheaply-made junk? What are you going to do after you fall to your death when something breaks, sue the rental company? And how much money would you actually save by renting this stuff instead of owning it anyway?
>Clearly, it's not about protecting children, women, and the elderly. It's about shaming a minority into submission since we've been making gains in terms of the national discussion.

It would be fruitless for me to speculate on the particular aversion you mention to transsexuals, but in general you'll gain a better understanding by looking for a motivation other than malice; that's seldom the explanation. The real rationale may be short-sighted, ignorant, wildly unfair, and unlikely to be advanced by the outlandish actions taken, but nonetheless there is some underlying thought process, and most people care far too much about themselves to go out significantly out of their ways to deliberately do harm to others.

Yeah, and the stuff they rent is probably mostly old junk and beat to hell because renters don't take care of stuff. It's probably a lot cheaper to just go to Harbor Freight and buy a tool there than to rent something.

I have a barely working HTTP proxy in client-side-JavaScript here: https://github.com/ysangkok/browser-http-proxy

This allows you to connect to CORS enabled sites without using the WebSocket proxy. It talks HTTP on the serial port.

I want to add SNI support to tlstunnel so that I can tunnel to google.com by navigating to https://google.com.mydomain/ and having the snitunnel tunnel to http://google.com by reading the bottom-level domain names using SNI.

Using this with browser-http-proxy, it would be possible to tunnel to HTTP sites on a request-based level (making it easier to scale) and without relying on tun/tap on the server. Also it could serve as a fallback for non-CORS enabled hosts.
I general install git for windows and use the tools it comes with.

Probably the least obvious as it is closest of the three to rent seeking, but the benefit is spreading risk of the incidents insured. Perhaps not as ideal as a fully socialized government system, but this isn't one of the insurance fields that is in direct competition with single payer.

If I have a very large setup that does a lot of crypto, is there not a chance that this can save me a shit ton in cpu cycles?

One of the main reasons that admins didn't turn on crypto by default until the snowden leaks was because of the CPU overhead on the servers. (I don't know in google's case but that's when they turned it on)

It's not hard to imagine that if I was doing a lot of crypto (or a lot of connections) that strong efficient crypto would be on my list of things to keep track of.

Quite! Some like big endian, because tradition ('network byte order'); little endian, because simplicity (current CPUs); mostly it's actually just classic bikeshedding¹.

Since X25519 and Ed25519 had already been deployed by a fair few people, all of whom used little-endian, recommending the opposite without a compelling reason would have been a bit too silly. (Upstream working groups are encouraged to consider the field elements as opaque octet strings, to try to avoid arguing the exact same point again.)

You can't afford rent in San Francisco at $50,000 a year, period. The going rate for a single bedroom (usually with no tenant's rights) is somewhere around $1,200 a month, well over 30% of your monthly take-home at $50,000/year.

If you're going to force people to move to the Bay Area to work for you, you need to pay them enough to afford it. Good luck hiring though.
