This isn't very surprising to me. Data is relatively cheap and the (effective) analytics of it is where the value lies. This typically the case, isn't it?

That said, this is a good reminder that data scientists are in high demand and can make a difference.
What you usually see is that one spouse (the wife, usually) spends time with the children when they are very young and then works part-time. Obviously, that impacts career progression. Salary data would support the theory. It's not a single working parent, it's 1.5 working parents for a few years.

More to the point, Xcode, Visual Studio, Android Studio, IntelliJ, Eclipse, and so forth all have generally different UIs, which means that unless you spend all your development time in a single environment, you have to do a lot of really expensive mental context switching.

An editor like Emacs or Vim provides a unified user interface for all the different languages and development environments with which you use it, which eliminates almost all of that mental overhead - and can also invoke your compiler, (usually) integrate with your debugger, et cetera. IDEs still win on tight integration, but for any language popular enough that someone's invested the time to build a well-integrated IDE for it, Emacs or Vim will generally cover at least the 90% cases quite well, too.

Almost everything you wrote is factually incorrect. Prenuptial agreements are upheld 99.999% of the time; it is the extremely rare case that a prenup is voided, which is why such situations make the news.

Also, in a community property state like CA, all assets acquired during marriage are presumed to be "community property" of both spouses, unless there is a prenuptial agreement specifically describing the ownership of assets acquired during the marriage using a spouse's individual and separate pre-marital assets (i.e., pre-marital savings). Thus, an estate planner could not do anything to help you in this situation.

Yes, this IMO is the biggest flaw in bitcoin's design. It makes miners impossible to commoditize. As soon as a new ASIC becomes widely available, it defeats itself and becomes useless at the next difficulty increase.

Consumer ASICs stopped being a thing for this reason. Now we have mega-secret custom hardware that can't be shared without destroying the investment put into their development.

I don't think Satoshi's intention was that only a handful of massive investors with their own proprietary chipsets would be able to mine, but that's the natural consequence of the difficulty mechanism, and it really undermines bitcoin's core principle of decentralization.

But even in Traffic Vance's case, I'm not sure that they have generated $400 million over the life of the company. Even at $6M/quarter in EBITDA, it would take ~16 years to get there. I'm not sure what else this guy was into, but I doubt he made it solely with malware.

That said, nobody actually needs $400M, and there are plenty of people making $1M+/yr operating useless websites like viral news, quiz sites, etc. There is a ton of money in online advertising. Most goes to Google and Facebook, but there are still billions left over for the "little" guys. The rise of retargeting through Adsense has enabled even the most worthless of sites to show ads that generate reasonable RPM. If you can generate impressions, you can make quite a bit of money.

> Should EC2 instances be terminated (which deletes all data on them)

You know exactly how much a paused EC2 instance charges you. The ceiling implementation could say, if the total amount charged so far this month, plus the cost of pausing the instance for the rest of the month, exceeds the ceiling, pause it now. So there's no data loss; the worst case is the customer's service is offline for the remainder of the month (or until they approve adding more money). At some point less than this number, start sending angry alerts. But you still have a hard cap that doesn't lose data.

It's not what a serious production user wants, but it's exactly what someone experimenting with AWS wants, either a running service that's looking at a cloud migration, or a new project/startup that hasn't launched yet.
> How do you subclass an ObjC class from Rust — say, to create a delegate for a UI element?

The objc::declare module includes ClassDecl, which enables registering a new Objective-C class.

objc::declare documentation: http://sasheldon.com/rust-objc/objc/declare/index.html

Example usage: https://github.com/kattrali/rust-mac-app-examples/blob/maste...

> How is type safety handled? It looks like msg_send itself isn't type safe, but there are hand-written bindings… is that right?

Correct. msg_send operates on objc::runtime::Object references. The handwritten bindings use the impl_objc_class macro referenced in the post to define separate types for different Objective-C classes, and make messaging the wrong type of object a compile-time rather than a runtime error.

The impl_objc_class macro implements the ObjCClass and PartialEq traits for a new type: https://github.com/kattrali/rust-mac-app-examples/blob/maste...

I keep wondering how accurate is that. On one hand implementing that precisely surely must be difficult - if it wasn't, everyone would have it. On the other hand, Azure clearly have issues calculating the bills in real time. Heck, once I kicked off a bunch of large VMs for a day. Once shut down I checked out the billing page - the costs estimates kept increasing every hour!

My hypothesis is that they don't really have it nailed down but given big margins they have they can afford to let you use more resources than you pay for in the end.
Those Azure gains only exist within a small space. Once you step outside the C# ASP.net sphere, their picture is no where near as rosy. Much of their offerings are minimal products for checkbox comparison sake.

When the answer to your tech problem is not ASP.net/SQL Server, you are going to find their services much more difficult to put up with compared to the competition.

They do favor the less wealthy spouse. That's why Britney Spears paid Federline several million dollars in alimony.

It's just a consequence of the Lisp syntax: (if COND THEN ELSE), so this list has four elements, and the second is the condition, the third is one leg, and the last is the other leg. How would you make the "THEN" part longer, except by wrapping parens around it?

To use a metaphor: In typical infix languages, I can only add two numbers, not three. Why do I need to do strange things like using two plus signs as in "3 + 4 + 5" to add three numbers? Lisp can do it with one: (+ 3 4 5)

The answer to this metaphor is that the very idea of infix results in this limit. In the same way, the very idea of expressing everything as s-expressions results in that limitation.

VR: A medium is born
Hi thanks for your response.

I put all platforms to test how many people of each platform decide to click to subscribe for an email update for when the app is out. Though I get what you mean, it's probably misleading.

I was unsure of how to price, especially against my competitors and other apps out there. I plan to eventually have other revenue streams such as selling stickers. I sometimes wonder how some of the biggest apps that sell for such low prices are even surviving.

I've got 500 people signed up to receive an email notification when the app releases so that is promising.

I also wanted opinions on whether I should should state on the website that this app will release as a single feature beta version on iOS and I am building as MVP to begin with.
And the "correct answer" sometimes leads you to realising "Hang on, I just asked the wrong question to the wrong people".

So lets for a moment assume you talked to a large cohort of customers, and found a bunch of "types" including those three you list and many many more (inevitably, at AWS's scale).

You then need to make some business decisions about which of those "types" are most important to you, and which are way less profitable to spend time addressing.

So of course you solve the big pain points for your customers spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per month before you prioritise the customers worried abou going over a tens or hundreds of dollars a month budget.

What would that solution look like? It'd have ways for customers with hundreds or thousands of services (virtual servers, databases, storage, etc) to make all their own decisions about alarms, alerts, cost ceilings - and tools to let them decide how to respond to costs, how to manage their data availability, how to manage capacity, when to shut down services or limit scaling, what can and cannot be deleted from storage. It would also 100% need to allow for practically unbounded capacity/costs for customers who need that (Think AliExpress on their "Single's Day" event where they processed $1 billion in sales in 5 minutes.) All this would need - for the $100k+/month customers - to be machine drivable and automateable, with extensive monitoring and reliable alerting mechanisms - and the ability to build as much reliability and availability into the alerting/reporting/monitoring system and the automated provisioning and deprovisioning systems as each customer needs.

And at least to a first approximation - we've just invented 70% of the AWS ecosystem.

You might think Amazon don't cater to people who want hard $5 or $70 per month upper limits on their spending. You're _mostly_ right. There are many other people playing in that space, and it's _clearly_ not a high priority for Amazon to complete for the pennies a month available in the race-to-the-bottom webhosting that people like GoDaddy sell for $12/year.

The thing to think about is - "who does Amazon consider to be 'their customers'?". I think you'll find for the accounts spending 7 figures a year with AWS - billing _is_ "solved". The rest of us are on the loss-leader path (quite literally for the "free tier" accounts) - because Amazon only need to turn a few tenths or hundredths of a percent of "little accounts" into "their customers" for it all to work out as spectacularly profitably as it is doing right now.

> valuable information is scarce

His point is that valuable information is only scarce because of monopolies on that information. If it were allowed to move freely, it would not be scarce anymore because of zero-cost lossless reproduction.

> Just like you cannot form an 'air monopoly' since it is so abundant.

Information monopolies only work because they were established before information became abundant. And even then, only with government intervention. See, for example, the history of book printing prior and up to the invention of copyright.

> They are creating platforms that enable the creation of valuable information or finding valuable information out of a sea of worthless information.

That doesn't mean their business model can't (or won't) be disrupted. 30 (or even 20) years ago, no one could've imagined a free encyclopedia written by enthusiasts.

> it is useful to incentivize the creation of valuable ideas which is difficult when they are used freely.

There are a lot of people who create valuable ideas which are then used freely. They're called scientists.
They don't mention any manufacturers and do not support CUDA, just OpenGL.

It's clear what they are doing: you call Amazon's OpenGL library, which applies some batching and compression when talking to a remote GPU somewhere else in the cluster. You are not allowed to or even need to know what kind of hardware is on the other side. They could even pick different manufacturers. And because of this proxying, you can only use an open and vendor-neutral API like GL, hence no CUDA support.

And that's incredibly expensive, considering many other cloud providers around the level of DigitalOcean (which I believe doesn't charge for using too much bandwidth atm) charge a lot less. For example, Linode charges $0.02/GB after the allocated bandwidth

And specifically for Linode, since all the servers draw from the same pool of resources, you can instead create a ton of $10 servers and grab bandwidth for $0.005/GB, which Linode is perfectly fine with (note that bandwidth is pro-rated, so you'd need to create those servers in the beginning of the month to take full advantage of it).
