Hello d4l3k,

I did not try go-pry yet, but I am very curious to compare it with my own attempt at an interactive Go REPL https://github.com/cosmos72/gomacro

They look similar in several aspects, and different in some key ones. For example, mine does not try to instrument compiled code and, among other things, uses exactly go1.8 plugin to import compiled packages at runtime.

Even just trying to install Oracle 11g correctly was hard.

I think it expected to be installed in /usr/local and company procedures demanded that it was installed in /opt (or the other way around).

For this it would consequently misplace some permissions on some of the files causing a later stage in the installer to fail and bork the installation.

It's not bad. If I had my way (and implementation weren't impractical), you would still pay a special tax, specifically balanced to cover for the unemployment benefits of the 400 workers you fired (or never hired in the first place).

Of course not all of them will be unemployed, so you only have to pay for 100 + (unemployment rate) × 400 people.

If the cost of your efficiency increase is not too high, you get to pocket the difference.

Unless your automation is as expensive as hundreds of workers, this will likely still be a large sum.

IMHO, pick a theoretical field you like and you focus on it. Theoretical physics doesn't mean particle physics or relativity. Every field in physics can be both theoretical and experimental.

As opposed to the US...?
Yes, it's more likely in China because it's more likely to happen in a blatant way, especially between companies directly.

But don't kid yourselves that the US intelligence would never pass on trade secrets or confidential information to benefit American competitors. Especially if you consider that they've actually sabotaged foreign companies because of business relations to countries the US doesn't like.

FWIW: I would never put confidential information on Chinese infra. But as a non-American I'm only slightly less worried about doing the same with American infra. It's not so much about whether someone will access your confidential information, it's more about who they are.

New cloud appears and their pricing mimics AWS and Alibaba Cloud is no different. Compute and storage is cheap, egress to internet is expensive.

If you want to create new cloud I would rather shoot for cheaper egress as this may give you an edge in many data transfer intensive applications.

Chernobyl was a plant design that was already outdated at the time and known to be dangerous, ran in the Soviet Union. It's not representative of anything modernly relevant.
I have been using them in China mainland for 2 years.

Base services are OK (computing, object storage, load balancers), CDN is actually quite good.

They are rolling out new services very quickly but the quality is still far from the AWS standards and feature rollout is slow outside of China (for instance, no way to replicate a bucket from Europe to Hong Kong).

Support is cheap, quite reactive but not very helpful.

ruby SDK is not very helpful (wasn't translated in English until recently, last upgrade removed the object storage SDK from the unified CLI to a dedicate one which is still in beta...).

So it cannot really compare with AWS globally, but for China mainland it might be the best provider. And they are moving very fast.

When I was working with AliCloud I ran into an issue in that during peak hours, we'd want to scale-up, and they'd be "out of stock" of virtual instances... Which is fine if you have the budget to keep a load of instances running, but if your spike goes over what you expected, there's no resource left for you to scale up. Not sure if that's still the case, but scalability is perhaps the biggest draw for me to the cloud and it seemed AliCloud didn't really get that right.
What is GFW?
Glad that you find it useful. I'd like to point out that lambda+s3 notification solution is asynchronous, while this OSS feature does transformation synchronously and can be applied to any objects (not just the new ones which could trigger functions), which is pretty awesome.

I work for Alibaba Cloud. Drop me an email (in my profile) if you're interested in the opportunities. Yes, we have office in Seattle (Bellevue).

>This is insane $30K a day just for a boat?! Wow

Specialized vessels (e.g. heavy crane ships, pipelay) can cost 250k-500k per day. A smaller survey vessel will obviously be much cheaper, but there's crew to pay, operating costs, specialized labor costs (ROV engineers, scientists), logistics, fuel, etc. It all adds up.

I'm neither Chinese nor American. While it's obvious why China is not trustworthy (i.e. rampant product piracy) the bar is not so high that it matters whether the Americans or the Chinese are abusing my customers' data as long as there's a third option. Granted, even when hosting locally it's known that American agencies might be able to access that data and it would be prudent to assume China (or Russia, seeing how they're the more trendy Big Bad these days) couldn't do the same. But at least I'm not wrapping everything up with a ribbon and leaving it at their doorstep.

Besides, C gets an excuse because the language was designed before generics were even invented, and with pre-processor macros is it possible to implement a poor man's generic system.

Well, that "artificial" employment I mentioned would presumably be at least somewhat fulfilling--i.e. pretty much what you see today. By artificial, I didn't mean running in hamster wheels or digging holes. I meant more that we employ people for jobs that we could technically automate.

Of course, that's not ideal either. My main point was that a UBI (or not having to work) wouldn't be the instant panacea that some suggest, leading to a sudden heightening of the human race as we are collectively released to pursue our higher purposes.
In their roadmap [1], they talk about using their activities to drive additional funding:

Seabed 2030 will create a series of programmatic guidelines to be submitted
to national and international funding agencies, with the goal to promote
funding opportunities that will support and share the Seabed 2030 vision.

They also talk about crowd-sourcing the shallower areas, which presumably will only have a cost in data-processing.

There's an information note [2] which describes in brief how the $18.5M will be spent:

The funding will cover funding of the Director and some personnel at the five
centers, with some travel and meeting costs. It would not cover any actual
survey costs.
