Good luck, Google has a terrible customer service which is why I do not use their cloud offering nor do I recommend it to my clients. They terminated my adword account a few years ago for alleged click fraud (I never clicked on a single ad) while they were owing me money, I have never been able to get a hold of a real person to plead my case. They don't do customer relations, unless you are a big player then you get assigned a google rep, but for the rest of us? NADA. I had plenty of issues with other services, including Microsoft and I always managed to get a real person answer me, with Google? zip.

So don't depend on them for anything, you don't need a google account to distribute your android app.
Thats how traditional banks work. You walk in Chase with your government ID to open up an account. It doesn't work. You can get high quality forgeries of government IDs made in China and there's no public DB to verify information on the card. RealID requirement for states to open up their driver license DBs only applies to government agencies(eg: TSA).

Also would you want to go in person to signup for paypal, venmo, etrade, betterment etc?
A few points not yet mentioned:
- Increasing the diversity of the Amazon culture by having an HQ in a new city will help Amazon understand the customer better... the last election has shown how little we all understand each other.
- Could Amazon be planning to eventually split the consumer and cloud divisions into two companies?
- Is this an opportunity to flip a red state to a blue state by getting a lot of tech workers to be employed in a red state? Which cities/states are closest to flipping? Atlanta, Pittsburg/Phil, Detroit, Cleveland, Phoenix, Austin/Houston?

The study did not look for a causation, yet it hinted "there is strong reason to believe that psychedelic substances increase nature relatedness as a function of their ego-dissolving effects."

This is not science, this is academic rubbish. The only thing they have a strong reason to believe is that a correlation exists.

Maybe people who walk in forests are more likely to pick mushrooms and take them? I wish universities were held to some sort of scrutiny, instead they pollute the pool of human knowledge with rubbish.

I've been experimenting with dotbot [1] for the last little bit and it is similar to what is described here. The main difference being that the placement of the dot files is configured in a JSON/YAML file instead of a directly structure.

It doesn't have any external dependencies, unless you consider python an external dependency, but most all distros come with that built-in these days.

It's not a management system either. It's just a tool for describing where to copy things to. So if you simply choose not to use it later it's not that difficult to migrate.

"Monica Gagliano began to study plant behavior because she was tired of killing animal"

Considering she still calls plants 'he' & dedicated her life to study them, I wonder what's her current perspective on the above statement. The article does mention abusing plants as part of the study, does this mean the scientists themselves feel it's less violent. Since it's proven that the plants react to stimulus, how do they convince themselves that they aren't hurting the plants.

Google is the only business I have ever worked with which has virtually no customer service or no way to resolve a conflict when they decide to boot you out. Even a behemoth like Microsoft does customer service better. Google doesn't do that, it doesn't even understand what it is for apparently. It's exactly for unusual cases like these. They have the money to hire people, they have billions, they're just don't see the point. Well when it turns out people using their cloud services can't get a hold of a real person in when there is a problem and decide to migrate somewhere else they shouldn't be surprised they failed.

We recently launched an adblocking product which saves you data on your cellular and Wifi plans. As we were working on Datajoy, we also understood that for creative people, adblocking sucks big time. The more people block ads, the less ad revenue websites make.

Well, we at Datajoy figured we would try to play fair by paying for content we currently view for free. We are calling it the "F-U, Pay Me" model (FUPM).

You can set yourself up to receive payments from users of Datajoy with minimal effort (NO profile creation necessary!) by following the instructions on the FUPM page (https://datajoy.us/fupm.html). As our users visit your site, we will PayPal you for every visit at 1c/visit on the 1st of every month.

Once you do that, it would be great if you could come back this post and let us know that you have set yourself up for FUPM. Thanks!

The linked article only mentions business customers (i.e. banks). And refers to us as consumers, which seems correct enough.
I agree with the sentiment, but in this case the reply inserted "rarely-spoken" with a question of preservation. Not only that, but the addition made it predictable that "nobody does that anymore, why remember it?" would get a negative reaction.

Doesn't there still have to be some judgement call? I would assume Insider Trading means trading on non-public knowledge that will significantly move the stock price, not just any old information that is not public. All kinds of employees have non public knowledge of things going on in a company that may or may not affect the stock price.

What would happen if a Executive found out about a data breach, sold some stock, but when the breach was announced later the stock price remained flat or went up (just for the sake of argument). Would that still be insider trading?

> I don't think it's universally true that adding more manpower to a late software project always makes it later.

It always results in a period of reduced progress due to drag on the existing staff to onboard the new staff; and the bigger the scale up, the longer that period where you are behind where you would have been without it is. And the more you scale up, the more you need to reorganize and build new coordination infrastructure to make use of new resources even once they are up to speed technically, which also takes time to set up and time to acclimate staff to the new organization and teams, which creates its own drag.

In realistic scenarios, this pretty invariably means late project + more resources = later projects.

But, sure, there are extreme situations where that wouldn't be true, but I don't think they pop up often in practice. One should be extraordinarily skeptical of any claim (or interior intuition) that the rule doesn't apply to your project.

I would be shocked if there are not vulnerabilities in the form of default codes and factory resets. As far as phreaking there's probably something to it. The fact that my building's call box picks up when I dial the front door number seems like a bad sign.

The building next to mine has what appears to be an Android tablet as the keypad, I can only imagine the vulnerabilities there.
Yes they are doing it, essentially that's why so many manufacturers are going out of business. There is no way to reverse it. America is a rich country, it is not supposed to have much manufacturing workplaces.
It was definitely un-AWS-ey, and there's an almost visceral pain response on our faces when we don't have a self-service API for something. This is improving all of the time and I think is already much better, with some big specific improvements ... I'll do my best to share what I can here.

First things first, with NLB our experience is that pre-warming is never necessary. Each NLB starts out with a huge volume of capacity, beyond the needs of even the largest systems we support, and each NLB can theoretically scale to terabits of traffic.

Our first big improvement for ALB was that the basic scalability and performance of ALB is at a point that in all but a very small number of cases (think of some of the busiest services in the world), customers don't need to do anything. This is the pay-off from a lot of hard work focused on low-level performance.

Our second big improvement, for both ALB and Classic ELBs, was a mix of more generous capacity buffers, and pro-active and responsive scaling systems. Together, these mean that we can race ahead of our customers load requirements.

Another item that's helped is that for the truly big scaling cases, which is DDOS preparedness, we now have the AWS Shield service to manage that process in consultation with the customer. That's useful if your needs are more nuanced and custom than the DDOS protection that is included with ELB by default. This gets into things such as how your application is configured to handle the load.

With all of these improvements, ALB does not require pre-warming for the vast majority of real-world workloads. However, after years of pre-warming as a thing, we have customers who have incorporated it into their operational workflows, or who rely on it for extra peace of mind. We do want to continue to support that for our customers.
Rotten Tomatoes is the Electoral College to Metacritic's popular vote. For all the things bad about the Electoral College, one good thing about it is that it produces more definitive results. It's a lot easier to make a decision to go see a 96% RT movie than a 8.1 MC and conversely, to avoid a 12% RT movie vs a 4.1 MC.

If I'm looking for nuance, I'll got to metacritic but if I'm just looking as a gut check, the RT score is much more helpful.

Yes, NLB is priced the same as ALB hourly but 25% cheaper on bandwidth (LCUs).
To the extent someone's choices don't affect me, I'm also unaware of them. Your business is your business, yada yada. But if I know you're a vegan, it's because at some point you made it my business, so I think I'm justified in commenting on it.

For the most part I agree with you. There's a lot of sneering at vegans, and most vegans are harmless and anonymous. As with everything, it's the preachy ones who spoil everything.
I know it may sound silly, but looking at these too long actually causes a minor stress reaction for me. As in, they make me uncomfortable. I think it's because I imagine trying to use them and the frustration that would ensue.

Procedural macros aren't the macro_rules and custom derives that are currently in stable.

They allow you to do much more. You can see this put to use in the Rocket project quite heavily. I believe it should be possible to link against bindgen as described and generate the bindings inline.

The caveat here is that it would be fairly opaque to the user as you wouldn't see the generated bindings in code. For situations like that I rely on 'cargo doc' to generate the documentation such that I can see the actual interface generated.

Google makes single-digit billions in revenue from the Android App Store. While not explicitly broken out, the info is in their annual report [0], where "other revenues" are a bit over 10B USD (>10% of total revenue):

"Google other revenues consist primarily of revenues and sales from:

• Apps, in-app purchases, and digital content in the Google Play store;

• Hardware;

• Licensing-related revenue; and

• Service fees received for our Google Cloud offerings."

As an aside, the risks section is surprisingly interesting and honest. A recommended read.

> Pretty much every Windows desktop app is written in C++ and Windows runs on over 90% of all desktops.

I think you may be the one overstating things. Where I work, a biomedical device firm, for every one app written in C++ there is either one python or matlab prototype of it and 5 python/matlab apps to test it/show it off. I'm sure for other places that number is far higher. I honestly don't see how you could quickly prototype sufficiently complex ideas any other way.

Better said, I can build a working Kalman filter, load saved patient data to it, create a primitive db, save output data to said primitive db, build a primitive, but functional enough that non-technical people can use it, GUI, from scratch, to plot said output data in Python all in a couple hours. Can you do that with C++ for the same time frame? Heck can you do it within an order of magnitude of the time I used? If you can't, why should you be spending an order of magnitude more money for it?

This new case can charge both your iPhone and your AirPods at the same time
From an August 23 email ( https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/llvmlinux/2017-A... )

Over the past months efforts have been made to upstream the remaining LLVMLinux patches (http://llvm.linuxfoundation.org) and to address other outstanding issues in order to build a usable kernel with clang. To my knowledge upstream is in a relatively good shape by now for x86 and arm64 (I heard the same about PowerPC, but have no first hand experience), most of the patches are already in Linus' tree, others have landed in maintainer trees.

...

It goes on, but there has been some pretty significant work done, and you can easily compile with clang as your default cc with simple patches.
Well, that's cynical.
