Yep, if you use the word unlimited, and that's not what you're actually providing, you're a liar. Pure and simple.

If this is common practice, then these companies are all a bunch of liars.

As opposed to other places in the world, truth in advertising is dead in the US - and also Australia, for that matter.

Try using the word "free" in Norway if you're not prepared to offer that for free with zero strings attached, and see how far you get before feeling the weight of the law. (And "zero strings" here means exactly that in the most literal sense).
The blog post mentions this:

> If the instance runs at higher CPU utilization for a prolonged period, there will be an additional charge of $0.05 per vCPU-hour.

But that (rather important detail) seems to have been omitted from the pricing page?
My apologies! I didn't mean the "Very confusing" comment as an ad hominem attack.

Seeing it from the production side I don't see that there is any attempt to suppress production. Everyone wants a good harvest and to produce as much product as they can. And, sometimes mother nature allows for it.

I feel there are honest attempts to feed people with that remaining food. And, there is the issue that sending food constantly to another country in need doesn't really address the problem. To paraphrase an old proverb, "Give a person a fish and they will eat for a day. Teach them to fish and they will eat for a lifetime." Ultimately, the food should be grown locally as much as possible to meet at least basic needs. Everything imported beyond that should be mere excess. That is how we will one day feed the world.

Thanks for the book btw.
By your logic a data plan with a 35 GB monthly limit is unlimited, simply because the last 10 GB is spread over the whole month instead of 5 hours. I'm comfortable saying your interpretation is the less reasonable one.
FYI, and not that it matters, I think your current is off by a factor of 2/pi. There's no 2*pi in the current formula because the 60 Hz is the full frequency not the angular frequency. And there's an extra factor of 4 because in each full cycle sine wave there are four 220 kV steps: 0-220, 220-0, 0-(-220), (-200)-0.

(and all of this of course assumes that the metal helicopter has low enough resistance to charge up to the full voltage)

IIRC, the main scenario for implicit remoting was where you were exposing a management interface for a service in no-language mode (i.e. the server will only run a whitelisted set of commands and no other scripting, for security) and any complex scripting needs to be done client side. So you'd open a console, import the commands from the remote machine, and now you can interact with it to do things scoped to your role, like diagnostics or restarting a service, etc.
Tell HN: I used to be a hacker
I used to be a hacker.

I used to bounce around like a molecule, colliding with everything untiI I discovered every crack and backdoor by sheer persistence.

I used to sit in my parents basement for 14 hours straight without a single thought unrelated to the screen in front of me entering my head.

I once made $5 in a day. The money was meaningless, just a way to keep score.

I used to be a hacker, I was driven by pure curiosity and the joy of finding out.

I once made $100 in a day. I could actually buy stuff in real life.

The money wasn’t important to me. I wasn’t concerned about my future, my career, or what other people thought.

I once made $1000 in a day. I probably don’t need a real job. That’s nice.

The money wasn’t that important to me. I just wanted the freedom to travel and keep hacking without having to work for
someone.

I once made $27,000 in a day. My parents were proud of me because I was successful now.

The money wasn’t the most important thing to me. My expenses increased, but I lived below my means. I should probably invest in a tax deferred retirement account and make a linkedin profile.

I once made $1 million dollars in a day. I was now a professional internet entrepreneur.

I was no longer a hacker. I wanted to build a robust internet business with low overhead and diversified recurring revenue streams to be attractive for an eventual acquisition.

I was concerned with the landscape, the competition, and that guy on the cover of Inc magazine.

It became harder to figure things out. I felt like I was consuming twice the mental resources. I’m a successful internet entrepreneur now, and my identity is tied to the outcome.

Me today could never have done what I did back then. I don’t have the curiosity, the scrappiness, or the delusional optimism to even try.

To those just starting out who haven’t yet made a dollar and a cent, block out all the bullshit and hack.

No, you didn't understand my logic. By my logic it depends on the context of how that limitation came to exist: was it due to the speed of light, a consequence of some other limitation, or an explicitly placed limit. But you're welcome to feel differently.

It's an investment. You buy equity in something that produces value. Paying dividends or not is a non issue.

If you're going to count DU shells as nuclear proliferation, you should also count Po-210 poisoning (Litvinenko, and perhaps others) and that guy who poisoned his gf with I-131.

Though, when talking of nuclear proliferation, we almost always mean just the proliferation of nuclear and thermonuclear explosive devices.

North Korea used a power reactor to produce all of the Plutonium for its nuclear explosive devices, some of which were supposedly of a weapon form-factor have been used. If by "used" you mean "used in anger", then of course, there are only the two instances. (It also should be noted that in the context of nuclear reactors and proliferation, Little Boy is only tangentially related. Nuclear reactors weren't used in the production of Little Boy.)

Creationism inherently incorporates a conspiracy theory - that evidence of a young earth exists, but is dismissed or even hidden by scientists because of their "faith" in secularism.

E.g., the Grand Canyon totally proves a global flood, but scientists refuse to accept that because of their "faith" in the earth being billions of years old.
It's slower than any of us like. But "merely letting women get paid jobs" - there is nothing mere about the independence that that slowly brings with it - at all levels of society.
Wow, so many negative comments here. I for one applaud the move -- a license like this has been needed for a long time.

Slightly (un)related, but I don't understand why in a forum full of software developers it is the consensus that all infrastructure software must be free (as in beer)? What are you guys planning to live off once that dream has finally been realised?
Thank you all for the feedback, it is extremely useful for us.

From this, I believe the action items for us (apologies if I have missed out anything, please correct me):

* Work on making it clearer which environment and which runtime you should choose for your apps and cut out the marketing prose.

* Provide more technical details on the differences between first generation and second generation runtimes.

* Be explicit on what libs are provided and what need to be vendored.

If y'all want to provide more feedback please feel free to add to this thread (I'll be checking it periodically for a few days) or contact me via email - lla@(you know the domain).

Yeah, exactly: just the same as how they might say "10GB 4G LTE Data". "Unlimited" doesn't refer to bandwidth any more than "10GB" does.
I was surprised to see Alpha Vantage[0] on this list. As far i'm aware, they provide real time access to stock prices, and their service is free. Additionally, other services [1] exist that do the same, which are also free.

How might they turn their service into a viable business?

Well, it's complicated. The short answer is, "because nobody's come up with a better solution yet."

Off the top of my head:

In big incidents, there's a ton of radio traffic flying around at different frequencies. You have to make sure they don't interfere. Cellular handles this pretty well out-of-the-box.

There are myriad electronics and devices in use, including wireless printers and laptops, so whatever you come up with has to play nice with wifi and also offer a wifi<->your_thing bridge. Again, cellular hotspots do this out of the box.

Bandwidth is really important. GIS is a big part of operations, so that's a lot of high-resolution map tiles flying through the air, and when it takes time to load or print a map, it can really jam up operations. Seconds count.

It needs to be maintainable by a large number of people. If there are just three people in the whole state who know how to troubleshoot and fix your system, it's no good.

It can't be stupidly, ridiculously expensive.

It has to work in all kinds of terrain. IC can't just squirt signals through hills.

Somebody could probably invent a solution that does all those things.

But they haven't yet.
This is pretty stupid. If you want to license your software under a proprietary license, just license it under a proprietary license. Or if you want to be "Shared Source"[1] use one of the old MS licenses for that. But don't try to put lipstick on a pig and add a veneer of "openness" by shipping something under an Open Source license + terms that make it very explicitly not Open Source.

As much as I like Redis, and even though Core is still under a plain old OSS license, these shenanigans would make me very suspicious of RedisLabs and reluctant to ever do business with them, or use Redis at all. :-(

> White has 100% color brightness and black has 0% color brightness.

There's no 100% black. People should stop with this nonsense. My monitor's black is pretty greyish by default. It gives nice illusion of blackness because it's also very bright with the whites, so contrast is high, but try comparing a black screen and turned off monitor screen. It's grey as hell. There's no standard screen. If people's eyes are offended by high contrast, they have a contrast knob on their monitor or video card.

I really don't appretiate all those designers' concern for my eyes. It's really not called for. If I want less contrast I can move the virtual knobs on my monitor, and I'll get it set globally. Now the concerned designers just caused a double decrease in contrast on their websites compared to normal readable websites wich use #000 for body text, which is now much harder to correct compared to moving a stupid knob.
How would an individual go about doing this? Would they need a good degree?

I have a junk degree and currently work as a dev after teaching myself programming.
I agree that we need a good open-source license that limits the ability to resell. The paid support model only goes so far. If a clause like this is actually successful, we may start seeing companies that sell software (rather than support) looking to avail themselves of the benefits of open-source, which would really be a boon for everyone. Someday, I'd like to see a mandatory source deposit to get copyright protection.
This will become an increasingly untenable solution in the future. Apple has been pushing iOS towards independence from PCs in the past couple of years, removing things such as installing apps through iTunes. Additional iOS and macOS updates could create new bugs in the iTunes/iOS sync process that Apple may not want to bother fixing anymore. They might remove iTunes backup entirely. And there are increasing numbers of iPhone users without Macs or PCs at all.
Ah, ok. So the classes are not very special-purpose (e.g. firefighting vs search-and-rescue), at least where you’re from.
With the current implementation; no problems hitting the limit. As mentioned in my below comment, our query for anonymization would be the heaviest - but it's designed to be quick as we don't care about unique values for most data.

If we did though - Fargate is a great solution for it, but you wouldn't be able to feed data back into the next step without some additional complexity - Maybe have the next step pull an SQS queue, or an S3 file, or look for a database entry, etc. as it's next bit of data that it needs - and just fail until it finds it, and once the Fargate (Or whatever) has done it's job and placed it in your method of choice, then it could continue.
You could probably find a correlation between any two things that involve rejecting mainstream beliefs, right or not. I'm suspicious of any theory that tries to divide everyone up in to the "enlightened ones" and "the dumb ones," on the grounds that you could minimize friction with the public by accepting every mainstream belief, whereas trying to be as right as possible would mean both disagreeing where society is wrong and sometimes when society is right, because if you're in the business of trusting yourself at all you will make at least a few mistakes.

To make it personal, think about it like this: if you start by saying to yourself "this thing society thinks is acceptable is wrong," and if you then go on and apply that mindset to everything else, there is a nonzero chance that your honest first-principles evaluation of, say, young-earth creationism would come out positive. Unless you think your inner compass has a zero false positive rate, spin that wheel again for every single commonly accepted belief and you're essentially guaranteed to end up believing at least one think that might appear in a study like this.
I must be out of the loop or this is the first I've seen this (free!) book so widely criticized. I thought it was pretty good for getting me interested in the language.

Then again, Hutton's book seems legitimately criticized too for beginners looking at the reviews I'm seeing on Amazon with some preferring or suggesting LYAH as a needed complement. So to each their own.
Easily the best one IMO: http://haskellbook.com/ . Unlike LYAH it covers stuff that is actually important to writing real haskell programs like testing code, managing effects via monad transformers, etc.

Also this is one of the best references while you're learning (not good as a tutorial, but chock full of invaluable resources): http://dev.stephendiehl.com/hask/ . TBH I wish every language had an equivalent of this guide.
However, as someone whose Dad is in prison, a lot of these guys really do want to get out there and do something useful and want this experience.

Many times the people complaining are privileged elites who are inferring what these populations want, but I would caution them to not make assumptions and do their research. It is not unambiguously bad to do this.

We can talk about the long-term reforms of prison, but there are short-term concerns too that might be helpful to them.

This is interesting and IMO generally true. But, not everything that is called a conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory. Asking “who benefits from this policy, and are they in a position to have influence in creating or maintaining it?” is not inherently a conspiracy theory. But anyone who’s doing something different from what they’re saying would prefer you didn’t notice. And if people are noticing, they’d probably want to dismiss their critics with whatever means they could. Including dismissing legitimate criticism and skepticism as paranoid conspiracy theories. This is especially confusing because there is overlap between actual conspiracies or at the very least dishonest politics/leadership and what people prone to paranoia and conspiracism would be more likely to think about. I just don’t like the idea of people allowing the charicture of a conspiracy theorist to stop them from thinking critically about the information they are being presented.
I think I should have a lot of say over who owns my debt.

That’s the thing. You don’t own the debt, the bank does.

There's a lot of mechanics that go into paying my debt, is it automatic withdrawal? If so how do I change the account? Is it someone I can barely hear in a noisy call center I get to talk to after an hour? Or is it someone at the bank around the corner where I first opened my account when I was 14?

I don’t let any company have direct access to my bank account. I pay my mortgage and all of my other bills using bill pay from my bank. When the letter comes saying the mortgage has been changed, I log into my account at my bank and change the bill pay. A mortgage is one of the easiest transactions.

It already has. The difference is that it doesn't come with very many packages, and packages aren't all written in elisp.

Neovim will end up with a similar amount of packages eventually. A lot of those packages will be written in Lua, making them relatively fast and lightweight.

(Neo)Vim doesn't lend itself to total customizability, since its foundation is dependent on its default keybindings.
I had the same exact thought except OC192 popped into my head =)
