If I understand you correctly, you're saying that one party may do fairly well in the absence of a prenup, so is actually more likely to breakup rather than less.

That's a good point, and not something I'd thought about. Perhaps as I'm not very wealthy, these questions are so hypothetical that they sound a bit ridiculous to me. If I had a £200 million in the bank I might be more inclined to worry, no matter how in love I was. More money, more problems!
He is free to use his server how he sees fit. And are you really sure that Amazon is going after a very different market with their 5$/mo. offer than a low-cost VPS provider?
I'm a total FPGA n00b, so here's a dumb question: what can you do with this FPGA that you can't with a GPU?

OK, here's a concrete question: I have a vector of 64 floats. I want to multiply it with a matrix of size 64xN, where N is on the order of 1 billion. How fast can I do this multiplication, and find the top K elements of the resulting N-dimensional array?
you can keep the money off shore and pay the taxes later though, no?
At least for Emacs, one of the things I like about it is the ability to add functionality when I need it. For example, implementing a "go back to the last place I modified this file" (super useful to me, at least) and then binding it a key would likely be hard to "add" to an existing IDE. With Emacs, not so much.
Research implies that you don't know the outcome and are going to be throwing away everything that doesn't pan out. Without knowing the outcome, how can you really be sure of what you need? You might think you need a CPU-based system but learn that GPUs are necessary, for instance. If you can start with cheap off-the-shelf components, at least you don't have much to loose when it is time to throw it away. If you're spinning your own boards, or heavily tied to expensive development kits, that becomes much harder to swallow. Especially for a startup with limited resources.

> Wouldn't you want to use the research phase to help eliminate such bugs?

I wouldn't think so. Spending your time fixing bugs in something you realize could have been done better another way, which ends up getting thrown out, seems like a waste of time. The words research and development are often paired together because it is a two step process, where development comes after you have learned what can be done.

Is the White House Hiding Secrets About Russia's Role in the Election?
It seems like a hard technical problem to shut down gracefully. But it's an easy product problem. Just suspend the account. AWS must do this already for some cases.

No one running a real business on AWS wants a hard ceiling instead of billing alerts and service by service throttling. Which Amazon has.

So, this is just the nuclear option for people's pet projects. It's not a bad thing to have but I wouldn't expect it to operate any differently than what would happen if you broke the TOS and they suspended your account.
I work at a company that delivers enterprise healthcare solutions built using AWS I am happy to report things are getting better. We are subject to a variety of audit and compliance processes but many of them are clearly designed around on-prem solutions. In any case, IE8 remains extraordinarily common. What's more common, however, is IE9/IE10 running in IE8 compat mode.
Thanks for posting a note in this thread - I would have missed it otherwise!
It's not that I cant, I don't want to do it anymore, sorry I didn't express myself correctly above. And there aren't that many client side framework choices in Clojurescript, which I see as an advantage. But not everyone will see it that way, I can understand. Whatever makes you happy.
I agree that the sub-reddit shouldn't have done that and i agree that it was in bad taste. However, i feel it's a bad idea to censor reddit.
You're targeting a single commnunity, what is to stop you from doing it to others? How do you decide that this needs to be censored and this doesn't, i honestly think they handled this very poorly and reading it left a bad taste in my mouth.

I'm sorry if you disagree with me but this is my opinion.
Completely. I will say amazon is usually very good about refunding money if you made a mistake or got hacked so in that sense their customer service is pretty good.

One time we had literally 1 million cloudwatch metrics get created because we were monitoring mongodb databases and a CPAN test was creating test DBs and not deleting them and we were not ignoring dbs created with names like test_* when creating the metrics.

Another time an outside developer committed a root credential on a public repo in github to a (basically) unused amazon account.

Both times they refunded the costs. Not sure if that was because we were paying tens of thousands a month though to get this service though!
And what were the stability guarantees for such things? Could you expect to take such a dump, bring it to a different system (potentially with different hardware, different minor OS revision etc), and expect it to work?
I agree. A lot lab do not want to hire good developer or data scientist. Or they do not have the money to hire, even they spend thousands in data collecting.

The better, "old system" was ordered by the same government office - two different results from the same "public sector process" should give a hint that maybe that is not the root cause of the problem. At the same time, since your comment attacks the public sector without providing alternatives, I can only assume that you are implying that a private company would handle this better - are you proposing to privatize the courts?

I can't answer the GPU comparison question, but I can answer the question of what you "can" do on a FPGA. Here are some example cores for FPGAs: http://opencores.org/projects

Hopefully, by browsing that list, you can see how FPGAs aren't really directly comparable to something like a GPU.

"I need to keep an eye every moment of every day for an alarm"

You know you can make a machine do that for you - right?

In fact all the tools Amazon would use to do this are available to you right now. Cloudwatch, SNS, and Lambda are 98% likely to be all you need - apart from the time to get it set up to do whatever you think is "the right thing".

Thanks for the feedback, not pointy at all.

You're right my original comment was misleading, most of the GAE Standard samples are webapp2, but that's because it comes built-in to the platform and can be specified in the app.yaml, so webapp2 doesn't require people to `pip -t` to vendor Flask into the project. It might be worth revisiting if some of those samples should be in Flask or in both.

1) Guessing you already know you can use Pub/Sub for background tasks, examples here in our Bookshelf app:

I think Product knows that the developer experience for tasks could be better and closer to Standard, but we haven't announced any public roadmap for task queues on Flexible.

2) I see references to that variable in our docs so I'm not sure where you're saying it's missing. Unfortunately you can't submit PRs for our docs, I wish you could.

I think you've really pointed out a very important flaw in that as developers and startups we don't have terabytes of training data.

However, I'm not sure who's in the leading edge here while Microsoft seems to suggest as the leader, but in the end machine learning, deep learning will be commoditized with enough training already baked in.

Walter White, are you there?
It is fair to compare FDA to similar agencies in other countries, and ask whether their focus on safety is too extreme, to the point where it hampers other issues of importance.

For example, is there any European country in which a generic alternative to Daraprim hasn't been certified yet? If there isn't one, then why is US special in that regard?

Centralized buying is only a partial solution to drug prices. Access to cheap generics is also a part of that puzzle. If FDA procedures get in the way of that, it may very well be that the net balance for us is negative.
I'm a little torn by this, I love Rust and think it has the potential to be a great language. So in that regard this is really cool and neat. On the other hand I also really like swift and I have a hard time understand what benefit Rust would give over swift since Apple had put a large amount of work into the overall safety of swift interop with Obj-C, though it's far from perfect.

It's little more complex than just "highlighting the numbers"; in my opinion, there really needs to be a definition of what is being counted and how that's universal within Indie Hackers presentation of startups.

For example, three identical startups using different accounting methods (cash vs accrual), time periods, etc. would have at face value potential vastly different numbers, though the reality is they are identical in every way.

Being a homemaker is absolutely a high effort job, and cleaning/daycare are hardly cheap. You also are right to point out the opportunity cost of not being in the workplace.

We used a box of disks to get about 20 terabytes out of Amazon to CMU. It ended up being about 50℅ cheaper (from memory - may be off a bit) because we did not account for any employee costs. Startup, running on fumes, none of us drawing a salary, etc.
from elsewhere in this thread:

>On the Friday after the US presidential election, Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab.ai, a social network favored by conservatives, was kicked out of Y Combinator “I am actually surprised it took them this long to excommunicate me,” Torba told BuzzFeed News. “Y Combinator doesn’t accept conservatives and they don’t accept Trump supporters.”

this is relevant here because of what this dude was actually doing, being a prick.

> In the Facebook thread, before he was booted from Y Combinator, Torba wrote: “All of you: fuck off. Take your morally superior, elitist, virtue signaling bullshit and shove it. I call it like I see it, and I helped meme a President into office, cucks.”

it took me a long time to learn that you don't have the right to be a prick on the internet.

if you insist on being a prick, don't cry persecution when you get shown the door. don't cry censorship. it's neither. it's you being shown the door because you wanted to be a prick. full stop.

if the guy in the above example wasn't a prick, he'd still be in the program. he could have called people cucks with donations like the big boys do, and not on facebook like a child.

.Net has shifted a bit. I know companies that invested in Silverlight and are now rewriting that software, for example, or wrote something using Visual Basic .Net and now have to rewrite it for C#, or have software in Webforms that they have to shift to MVC, and software in MVC that's being shifted to MVC + [insert modern javascript framework here]. And once they get to that last one, they have the same problem as everyone else has here.

And now that .Net Core exists, it's almost a guarantee Microsoft will start shifting more and more of its resources to that, so companies eventually will have to invest significant resources rewriting their libraries for .Net Core, which might never support all the features they rely on.
I am actually surprised the dumper paradigm doesn't get more love. Startup time is an issue for most large programs. The dumper route is a generally applicable way to drastically improve startup time. Think of it as splitting your code into two parts: setup phase which is run at compile time (i.e. pre-dump) and run phase which runs at run time. Undumping substitutes a simple load of a file for the setup phase. What is not to love?

I like that you reduced that to a one-liner, and I understand your point. I sure as hell wouldn't hook my car up to this software.

But I also feel like you're being a bit hasty. Obviously a Python script isn't going to turn into a Tesla overnight. But maybe it'll help you find a few bugs before you throw all that time and effort into building the real deal. When I look at a Github repo that claims to be a self-driving car I don't say to myself "yep, looks production ready," I say "Cool prototype, now let's break it." To me it seems entirely reasonable to get a working Python prototype 90% of the way there and then send it off to the OS programmers to design something that actually meets the concept of "production ready".

>any Japanese person who can understand Engarish will also understand English.

My impression is that it's actually quite common for Japanese people to understand Japanese accented English more easily than a native English speaker.

>she correctly says "cheezu" for "cheese", but says "steku" instead of "steki" for "steak".

"Suteeku" sounds like what a Japanese person who knows English well but has a strong accent might say. "Suteeki" is more of a corrupted loanword.
It's interesting philosophically.

From an engineering point of view you can just hit the brakes and never swerve. Good enough.

From the other perspective it sounds to me like a sneaky "I want Amazon to bear the costs of me failing to pay for the resources I've agreed to costs for and consumed, and give me a bunch of 'grace time' to change my mind later" concern.

Sounds like a sneaky Walmart-wants-to-make-more-money concern.)

This is obviously untrue. For at least 95% of Netflix users this is inconceivably difficult. Peek out your bubble and you may also notice that torrent use is massively declining in popularity because they're a horrible user experience.
Is there any literature on this? I always figured Google and Facebook dominated the market so heavily everyone else was left with scraps (twitter, for example).
On further reflection, whatever issues cause dreadful under-performance of Indian nuclear reactors might also affect solar plants. Solar needs significantly less maintenance than other kinds of generating capacity but if it gets no maintenance then the output will fall even in areas with excellent solar resources. For the US the Energy Information Administration publishes detailed information about all utility-scale generators so it's easy to track performance over time but I don't know where or if equivalent data is available for India.

On the bright side, Steam has Wasteland 2. I haven't played more than a week or so of it, but if you're looking for "isometric turn based combat RPG in a post-apocalyptic wasteland", it nails it.

>What is are the homology groups of a group with integer coefficients? Ha. Good luck doing anything with it if you haven't memorized it. //

I feel you're missing the point the parent was making. The point as I see it is not to try not to know the answer without deriving it but to not set out to simply memorise the answer.

Of course through use you'll commit certain proofs, formulae, corollaries or what have you to memory; but that's not what people generally mean by "memorising". When studying [undergrad honours, UK] I didn't set out to memorise things and often relied on working out formulae/results/theorems from first principles or from some other theorem. [Perhaps this is a physicist thing, I did joint honours in Phys/Maths]

Remembering and memorising are different approaches that lead to a similar result; however IME remembering when you didn't set out to is often much better. For me I could cram and memorise some results, but then that subject matter never stuck around long afterwards.
> it's unfair to attribute the destructive negative effects you're describing to the drugs themselves.

I can't believe some of the responses. I have to ask you too, have you any real-world experience with addicts? Have you ever lived in a community with a drug epidemic? Neighbors, mothers, friends, family on heroine or crack?

Are you suggesting that making drugs like heroine, cocaine, amphetamines, crack, inhalants and others available to adults (let's say, 21 years and older) is a solution? People can't even control their fast food intake or alcohol consumption but somehow heroine wouldn't be a problem.

I've seen the damage this has caused, first hand, more times than I can recall - in the real world, in the inner-cities. I did not pick up my opinion in a trending topic.

I've talk to ex-drug users. Not a single one would ever do drugs again. I've seen families destroyed and not a single one effected would want (psychoactive) drugs to be a part of their lives.

Now if we're talking about marijuana or well-researched psychedelics (not psychoactive), that's a different topic.
