>>> the change is mostly about moving this risk (and potential reward related to it).

This is exactly right! And the theory behind it is actually one of the papers behind this year's economics Nobel Prize.

Different billing models aren't about paying for outcomes - they're about how to both incentivize and compensate when 1) there is uncertainty about the effort and ability required and 2) there is uncertainty about the degree to which effort and ability will lead to outcomes and 3) outcomes are costly or difficult to measure.

Different ways of billing are really about who takes on the risk (and gets both the upside or the downside), as well as how to align incentives between the service provider and the recipient. Oftentimes risk-sharing and incentive-alignment are in conflict with each other, which is why this isn't an easy topic.
With respect, I don't think you've thought about this very carefully.

If you feel you have, I'd be interested in your response to any of my detailed points above.

> Who decides that hacking the Mafia is Ok and someone else it is not?

The public may or may not have sympathy with it, but it's a crime. The hacker who did it would have committed a crime and would be sought out and prosecuted appropriately.

Some considerations:

* The hacker's intent--purely altruistic or otherwise--is irrelevant (or at least must be left to a judge/jury to consider)

* The hacker acted as vigilante. The argument that a hacker turning up dirt on "bad" people is acceptable would be arbitrary, and the rule of law would thereby be subverted. You can't have one set of laws for some folk and not for others under the rule of law.

As a corollary, I just listened to a guy at a security conference talk about how he had hacked black market credit card resellers and deleted their databases. Arguably a good thing, right? Ignore him, eh? Give him a medal, perhaps? Well... first he'd downloaded their inventory for his own black market site. Whoops.

FWIW, he did his time and now works for Wired as a security correspondent.
Thanks -- I'll look into this.

To be clear, GCS has had multi-region support (the "Standard" storage class), we're just making it explicit in the name. To add to hurstdog's response, I'd say: No, most outages for GCP have not been global. In particular, most Compute Engine outages are single zone and caused by either a networking configuration change (often affecting VM <=> Internet connectivity, like https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/16004) or sometimes a software rollout to our VM infrastructure.

Much like with GCS (and any service at Google), the most common source of outages is a rollout. While we strive to offer zonal and regional services where appropriate, some like GCS and PubSub do have real value as "global" APIs. Trust me though, hurstdog spends a lot of his time struggling with that balance ;).

Q3 was arguably less brutal, although its rockets actually moved, which was nice. This lack of brutality is why CPMA was devised, which brought back the brutality and advanced movement tactics in full force.

I really don't swear by Q3 or HLDM: Although I do swear at them a lot. My preference is either Quake 1 or Xonotic, which is like Quake meets UT, and lowers the floor on advanced movement so plebs like me don't get totally stomped the first time they log on (we still get stomped, just not impossibly fast).

I love them all, which probably means I'm a masochist or something.
I wouldn't call semolina unusual at all. De Cecco [1], probably the best of the bigger Italian brands, makes all their pasta products with 100% semolina (pasta di semola di grano duro). Bigger, cheaper brands such as Barilla use either the lower-grade durum flour or a mix of semolina and flour.

(For those confused with the terminology: Both come from durum wheat, but semolina is milled more coarsely from the bran, whereas durum flour is everything else, milled to a finer flour.

It still seems to need to at least check for the latest version after that first install, I have a ~4 second wait before evaluation of the first expression on every single launch of the REPL while it hits up their package server.

And if you have no internet connection or the package server is down, the REPL will not evaluate any expressions at all, it just shows an HTTP error message on every input (after a timeout).

The only option for offline usage seems to be running the REPL inside a configured elm project directory which has had the core packages downloaded/installed: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-repl/issues/54

> Every time a Tesla has caught on fire, it's been reported on in numerous news outlets.

And in every one of those stories there are ten people asking why this is a story because battery fires are less common than gasoline fires. System working as intended.

> So whatever choice Tesla makes, all their competitors will also make?

They don't have 10,000 competitors. It isn't a stretch to imagine that the small handful all make the same choice.

But suppose they don't. You can't have it both ways. Either someone allows modifications and whatever hypothetical bad reactionary laws that causes will come to pass, or nobody does and the laws are never passed but the result is the same.

> Or, in the case of Uber's in-development car, probably already have made?

Uber is going to make a self-driving car and then sell them to the public so that members of the public can lease it back to Uber and Lyft?

> But that's the thing - they don't want to be pointing the finger anywhere because that's almost always bad press for them. Throwing blame just looks bad.

You're assuming the net problems as a result of openness are more rather than less, which is wrong. People fix more problems than they create, because people don't like having problems. You open things up and you get a lot of people fixing trouble and a smaller number of people causing trouble. The net result is less overall trouble and the ability to blame the troublemakers for the trouble they cause. None of that hurts you.

> While helpful users are certainly an asset, it's mostly as a resource for identifying problems, not attempting to solve them on their own cars.

Well first of all that's false, having them fix the problem saves you the trouble of doing it. But even identifying problems doesn't work without understanding. 99% of the fix is thoroughly understanding the problem.

If the system is a black box then the user doesn't know how it's supposed to work. So you simultaneously get spammed with false positive bug reports from users who think there could be a problem but aren't allowed to understand whether there really is, and lose true positive reports because weird behavior gets written off as "it's a black box" and the last three things they reported were false positives.
No you are correct, but those usually end up when someone pays few hundred bucks. I assume getting $200,000 out of your victim puts him/her in a special category.

I should have said write less JavaScript, not avoid. Still, the tradeoffs of interactivity and client-side architecture required to keep it sane seems like an ok discussion to have.
I seem to remember that article as well.

In particular, they quoted one actual NFL player who was running to score the winning touchdown with seconds left to go - but the score would not be so large that the opposing team couldn't steal the victory on the last possession. He ran to the 1 yard line and juked laterally across the field to run out the clock, basing the technique on similar theatrics in the Madden game.
> It may be a bit of a red flag when scientist's find the very thing they predicted they would find.

No. Self-driving car will be more space-efficient than non autonomous cars, but it's especially true on highways and for parking. It's still an order of magnitude less efficient at transporting a vast number of people in the minimum amount of space than mass transit. Not enough for dense urban environments.

Self-driving rideshare will be great for suburbs, not so much for dense cities.

> That seems acceptable for a consumer backup (not cloud storage) solution.

I work at Backblaze, so I'm biased. :-) But the use case is important, meaning I wouldn't group together all "cloud storage solution" as one use case.

Backblaze does not have compute at all (like EC2) so Backblaze is a terrible choice for a company that will spend a lot of cycles analyzing the data stored in the cloud or doing compute on the data stored in the cloud. That is a much larger issue than the one data center for that use case.

On the other hand, it is my profound belief that for long term durability of data you should have AT LEAST three copies of the data stored by profoundly different vendors. Hopefully different file systems and stored by software written by different programmers so the same bug that affects one copy won't affect the other copies. Hopefully stored at separate physical locations. Put a different way: the only way to get more reliable than data stored at Amazon Glacier is to have one copy in Amazon Glacier, another copy on Google Coldline, and another copy in Backblaze. In that use case, the single data center of Backblaze is obviously a non-issue.
> The voter fraud impact on an election (As found by every study and investigation into the question is completely insignificant.)

A non-partisan elections monitoring group in Virginia has documented thousands of people who identify themselves on jury duty forms as non-citizens but who have registered and voted. Thousands of voters can easily sway local and state elections.

For example, in the 2004 Washington State Gubernatorial race the margin of victory was 129 votes. (The vote tallying was a complete mess. During the manual recount King County poll workers discovered a number of ballots that were invalidated for improper signatures, and also "discovered" 162 previously uncounted ballots in a tray in a warehouse. Additionally King County had 895,660 listed voters and 899,199 counted ballots. Election fraud happens and it has happened recently and it changes the results of races.)

> In the case of voter fraud, you have after-the-fact redress - invalidation of ballots, jail time, deportation.

No you don't. You might be able to jail and deport someone, but there is zero connection between a ballot and a voter. There is no way to remove the invalid ballot and have a correct count. Note that if it were possible to connect a ballot to a voter then you cannot have free and fair elections.

> Unless Angular is using `eval()`

Which it is, as far as I can see, though it tried to make it slightly safer ... until version 1.6, when it gave up on pretending it's at all safe. The linked slide share from the github issue talks about this a bit. See http://www.slideshare.net/x00mario/an-abusive-relationship-w... slides 16-31 which talk about the sandbox angular tried to apply to the environment it did the eval() in, but in the end it's grabbing text from the DOM and doing an eval().

Note that in a browser extension doing text from the DOM (controlled by the web page) and doing an eval (with the privileges of the extension!) is obviously really really bad.

> What is the alternative for someone who wants to build a house for a large family while spending 6 (or low 7) figures

Don't buy in a "prestigious" zip code, build with a simple design. My parents live in Great Falls, an area that's an hour commute into D.C. and full of McMansions that run $1.5 million for cheaply-built crap. If you buy some land an hour in the other direction from D.C. (toward rural Maryland), you can build a tasteful 5,000 square foot house for $1 million including land. People by and large don't do it, because they might meet a Trump voter and thereby have a stroke.
My thoughts are that the small cartridge is relative to an SD card, or a USB flash drive. The reasons other companies don't use them is because they are expensive to use unlike discs. The speed of the cartridges are faster than discs as well.

Your mention of hurricanes, and parents who might be safely assumed to be retired, makes me think Florida. With that big bag of assumptions (throw out what follows if those are wrong), I'll remind folks that anything built in the last ten years is going to be very much regulated on how it's built. It'll be made of reinforced concrete block and the roof will be firmly tied to the rest of the house. The builder has no say in this. I'm not saying that given the choice the builder would choose the cheaper route, but a Florida house that laughs at a hurricane is due to government regulation more than the builder's choice of materials.

That, and Florida hasn't really had a decent hurricane in the last ten years.

you can get cheap dataplans as a consumer, straight from the cell providers. Most of the game cameras do not let you just plug in a sim card.

Yes, but in a browser extension context the web page controls the HTML involved and is the thing you want to defend against. So relying on the HTML to play nice is not OK.

IMO at least as plausible an answer is that species with the capabilities to produce such probes also have good reason not to do so.

We ourselves arguably have good reason not to broadcast our presence, reasons which we have come to belatedly but which are now widely known; e.g. the widely-cited belief that 'whenever' two cultures of significantly different technological prowess have interacted, the less-advanced one invariably went extinct / degraded / whatever.

I haven't read it yet but IIRC the Three-Body Problem trilogy proposes a universe in which advanced species stay silent for fear for just such interaction.

I can myself propose a variant idea, which is this: if we conclude from perceived silence/solitude that other species are likely out there but keeping their heads down,

...maybe we should do the same, not knowing what we might invite by broadcasting our presence.

If the first species to encounter this question incorrectly guessed its own probability of being first, and came to the same conclusion, we might actually be surrounded by a saturated sea of advanced species... all playing it unnecessarily safe...

I agree that they are not mutually exclusive, but would generally prefer a simpler policy to a more complicated one. In addition, governments are prone to create increasingly complex rules which they use to help certain preferred groups (such as neighborhoods or campaign contributors). Reducing the barriers to high density development would encourage densification without increasing corruption; if this is insufficient, more active measures could be implemented soon.
Data structures used internally for processing are something totally different
than data structures used for communication with outside world. Usually you
don't want to expose internals with public API, and even when you do, you want
to be very selective about what is shown and how.

When you publish internals, you only cement your implementation so you can't
change that easily later (e.g. when you realize how crappy it was at first),
and you even need to pay for that drawback with ease of use of your API
(API's user would need to understand the system he talks with). It's
a lose-lose deal.

What about shared self driving cars + dedicated express bus lanes? The idea being we tax cars for usage of the road and the buses become effectively free (and faster) while self driving shared ubers are $2/ride.

Making roads better and taxing them right (so we can do dynamic pricing) seems so much better than huge chunky capital costs of digging tunnels and installing subway infrastructure.

We already have roads, people get to go door to door, and deploying a usage based tax model on roads is just software. Seems so much better than decade long projects.
