Care to expand on this? The wiki page describes some legislation that has since been repealed and I can't even deduce what the legislation exactly said from that article.
Depending on how you use the services the AWS free tier is actually worth less than GCP's $300 free-trial credit: https://cloud.google.com/free-trial/

I will give Amazon that theirs extends out to a year, but summing up the costs of everything included in the free tier if you use all of it, I think it may still come out to less than $300 (or the equivalents on GCP would, anyway). For example, running an f1-micro for a year will cost you a bit under $60. If you add in another for Google Cloud SQL you're up to a total of about $150 over the course of a year. What they offer you in S3 is basically free (<$2 over the course of a year).

It's possible the other services are a better deal than compute and storage, if you have a use for them, but the GCP free trial lets you allocate that $300 however you like. You can scale up more in that 60 days than you can within the AWS free tier. To me, personally, this strikes me as more valuable if I'm trying to sketch out a new product — I'd rather not try to figure out how to fit inside the AWS free tier resource envelope and instead understand how my costs are scaling with the resources I'm using while not being on the hook for those costs (up to the $300 size of the credit, obviously) for the first couple months. Especially to absorb things like shaking out automation -- go ahead, spin up a GKE cluster, scale it out to 5x the size you currently need, run some quick load tests, and then scale it back down 30 minutes later (and only pay for that 30 minutes).

No startups, but there’s other companies that have never been involved with cars before that are now building electric vehicles.

Deutsche Post DHL (Germany’s federal mail service) is now building their delivery vehicles themselves, so they can get electric ones quickly.

I would say they "choose not to foster" rather than "reduce" of the capacity certain people to propagate their views.

SEEKING WORK - New York City/Brooklyn, NY - Remote Ok

Experienced full stack Ruby and Javascript developer with work history focused on startups. Some big company (e.g. NY Times, Cleversafe), small business and agency (ALLDAYEVERYDAY, Metarhythm) experience as well. Most of my experience is with Rails and/or Angular but I've also worked with node.js, Ember.js, Sinatra, Python/Django and D3.js. Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, Digital Ocean, Rackspace and Heroku.

A lot of my projects have involved helping early stage startups get to an MVP or build out features from an MVP. I've also done cleanup on projects when another agency or developer was behind schedule and a project needed to ship ASAP. Really I'm open to any project that sounds interesting, let's talk. Lots of client facing experience, great at communicating with the business side. As well as picking up the slack when design resources are short.

Echoing another sentiment in this thread. I was a huge fan of PH during launch and desperately wanted a way into the community to share and discuss things.

Then I ended up building a React Native app that pulled their API, which was featured and gave me access. I had so much fun doing that and thought it was great that I was accepted into the community due to building something.

I can't stress enough how selective I was with the invites I received. I still have one, since I never found the right person to share it with.

Unfortunately, it looks like it doesn't matter. In the past few months, I've noticed a steady decline in the quality of discussion. Lots of comments based on misguided interpretations that could have been avoided if the commenter had bothered to click on the product's link and thoroughly read the landing page. There's way too much noise and it's a shame.

iRobot | Software Engineers | Bedford, MA and Pasadena, CA | ONSITE

iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really. Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside of Boston, MA.

We're looking for people to do embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance), test, and hardcore robotics as well. Those aren't the same person, mind you. We're also looking for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers.

We use mostly C and C++, with some Python along the way as well.

You do NOT need any robotics experience - I had none when I joined!

Check out our careers site and email me if anything looks interesting:

This seems to be only for people on AWS, which is why Amazon can charge less for it: they're already making a profit on you elsewhere.

For people who host their own servers or systems (or who cloud but not on AWS), this doesn't appear to be an option and you still have to go with Cloudflare.
What your link is describing is the size of the Genome encoded into bits. In other words, that's the size of the file containing an entire genome compressed into base pairs in order to store the raw base pair encoding on disk as digital data. That is definitively not the measure of the amount of information encoded into the DNA.

Nor can you guess at that encoding by modeling DNA base pairs as 2 bits. DNA base pairs aren't bits. They don't define op codes or memory registers. They are read and executed in a complex way that we don't fully understand. They interact with each other in complex ways that we don't fully understand.

There's way more information encoded in those base pairs than a simple 2 bits. You can't simply model them that way and declare that there are X Bytes in a genome. DNA isn't digital.

On the topic of fuzz testing, Python has an excellent library for property-based testing called Hypothesis [0] [1]. I don't think it does guided testing like AFL or libFuzzer (which OSS-Fuzz uses), but it's very powerful nonetheless.

I see exactly this from sites like unicornfree.com. And I don't mean that as a slight against @amyhoy. Occasionally I get a similar vibe from @patio11, but I still respect his incredibly good insights. These are people who are very involved in the startup community and contribute a whole lot more value than most people. They just like to sell knowledge as well as give it away.
I wonder what this means for the future of ZFS and it license? Possibly no change.

HealthEquity | Software Engineer | Draper, UT
Overall a good read, but I take issue with one bit:

The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club! The same is true about liquidity. It’s detrimental to tell your employees who have bought into the vision, mission and excitement of a startup to know that it’s for sale the day you start it. The party line is “We’re building a company for long-term success.”

This sort of two-faced behavior doesn't succeed with even moderately-intelligent or observant employees, especially these days where the subject matter has graduated to meme status.

At least for your early employees, the folks building your teams and covering for your weaknesses/inexperience, you need to be on the level or they will make a toxic environment.

I think the hesitancy to talk about this is a function of both outmoded views of employees as resources without real understanding or stake in the business (hence the apparent moral permissibility to lie to them here) and also the reluctance to make a real exit for the employees--it's only awkward to talk about the exit for the business if the employees see that they aren't getting a slice of the pie.
Thanks Michael!! We're happy to partner with such a great company like drchrono and we appreciate your continued feedback and support.
This is a tool I've been working on for a while. It constantly scans Amazon and finds the best open-box deals. Products are 30% - 95% off. Most of the items have damaged packaging and can't be sold as new, so Amazon sells them at huge discounts.

'Experiment' with no conceivable way of monetization gets 'investment' for some behind-the-scenes, non-investment reasons.
Bros funding Bros, and then bro acquiring bro when the first-bro has blown through 7.1M. Its the Silicon Valley version of nepotism. Its all play money, but is only available if you are in the circle.
Now that you have an exit to your name, next stop, VC partner. And then ask all the startups pitching, what's unique about you?

Much of this ("for some behind-the-scenes, non-investment reasons") you've simply made up for rhetorical reasons.
But even if you were right on the facts, this kind of rant makes for a bad HN comment. A good HN comment is one that contributes to thoughtful, curious discussion. Stimulating rage among those who already agree with you is the opposite of that. Since such comments routinely get upvoted, they're a particularly bad risk to this site.

Yes, it definitely does.

The problem is that it happens in little cliques of 2-3 people, and it's hard to meet a new clique. (I mostly do intoxicated at parties.)

I've been thinking of trying to organize "Work in Chalk" parties or something next summer, where we can all go hang out and work on our theories in sidewalk chalk at the park. (I used to do homework this way in uni.)

It's just hard to guage how many people would be interested and how to reach them.

Startups are hard. I don't know Ryan personally, but he really started PH as barebones as possible and grew it to millions of uniques. Without being on the inside, you have no idea the pressure or stresses he was under. Why are people so critical when they see a startup exit for less than a billion dollars? I am sure it's a huge learning experience for him and I congratulate him and wish him the best.

I guess I'm just not the primary target market for these services. I use Uber from time to time when I travel and it's often a bit easier/cheaper than taking a cab. But, if Uber didn't exist I'd just take a cab. And I've never taken Uber where, in the absence of Uber, I'd take a bus/train/etc.

But I maybe take Uber a handful of times a year when I travel. I have no use for it on a day to day basis.
Anyone making food from 'recipes' in the West is likely not eating 'garbage'.

Though we do eat 'too much sugar' - the 'garbage' I suggest is really over-processed, too much hydrogenated oil etc. etc..

Anyone that made their diet out of things 'they cooked themselves' could very well use the recipes as they are and do pretty well. Most dinner dishes do not even call for sugar. Mostly only cakes and what-not. Maybe muffins are a culprit? :)

How do you distinguish between someone buying something with Bitcoin and someone "trading" it? I only buy things with Bitcoin, I'm not doing currency trading (or at least, that was not my intention!).

It seems like they could have isolated this request down to heavy buy/sell activity where it doesn't look like people are simply buying things. I'm fine with them going after people evading taxes, but this seems like a wide net to cast.
If I were developing a new project I'd probably go with an AGPL style license. It just seems appropriate for anything that could be hosted. Not sure what the downsides are.

What's frustrating is if you go to the aws reinvent page they tell you a lot except the dates of the conference!!! https://reinvent.awsevents.com/ I was wondering why all these aws announcements were here.
I don't agree on the free trial. I think it lets you play around a lot more than the AWS free tier -- as I said in my comment up the thread, go ahead and move the slider to the right and scale up a bit (a little -- the free trial is still quota limited to prevent abuse), see how things perform, slide it back to the left and have only used a tiny fraction of your credit.

I think you get a lot more "kick the tires" flexibility with a moderately large up-front credit.
