They don't mention it in the article, but TLS comes at an additional cost. Same price per hour and per LCU, but an LCU gets you less with TLS. Standard LCU:

- 800 new non-TLS connections or flows per second.

- 100,000 active non-TLS connections or flows (sampled per minute).

- 1 GB per hour for EC2 instances, containers and IP addresses as targets.

TLS LCU:

- 50 new TLS connections or flows per second.

- 3,000 active TLS connections or flows (sampled per minute).

- 1 GB per hour for EC2 instances, containers and IP addresses as targets.

> I don't understand why they seem to be actively opposed to power users, all across their products.

Why is everyone so actively opposed to power users? I blame tbe field of UX that

- instead of working to improve products so that ordinary people can achieve more

- always decides to work on dumbing down the products so "everyone" can use them.
Why use autocomplete=off on the sign up password field? It prevents password managers from autofilling a new password, and I can't be bothered to remember another password.
Sure but just being wealthy is more than enough and if you can get VC money that kinds of covers your base.

Almost all of startup success is due to money: Amazon got money from pooled funds, Bill Gates mentioned in his reddit AMA that his success can be attributed to his position, Elon Musk's own father is a millionaire..

Money is not important, it is EVERYTHING. And that's the unintended upside to Universal Basic Income. It allows "Bill Gates and Einstein's" from third world countries to shine on solving big challenges rather than "What will I get to eat tonight?"
These are such low value comments.
One thing that came to mind is that some of these "13 thoughts" are kind of dependent on each other.

For example, you might not want to be bold and have too much self-belief without being able to work hard, think independently or making it easy for yourself to take risks. If anything, try to do all of them, or be wary of how you pick and choose from the list.
You need antitrust laws to work not unions, when SV companies had secret agreement.

And for 2 - there's app for that, but I don't think the statement is generally true.
Two additional points, aside from APM effectiveness:

- The APM constraint by AlphaStar seems to be average APM (or some variation thereof), while it reached 900+ APM in battles -- again with 100% effectiveness. That's insane and definitely beyond human capacity.

- It didn't waste APM in the early game (when humans are warming up and spamming APM), further leaving slack for when engagements came.

I mean, when gauging practical applications, we shouldn't be too concerned about good reflexes and superhuman effectiveness; however, part of the point here was to gauge other aspects of cognition more related to strategy, large decision spaces, etc; and in this setting it makes sense to constrain those non-strategic (more mechanical/tactical aspects). I'm sure e.g. constraining humans to <300 APM for example would change player style/effectiveness that much, while e.g. the blink stalker micro displayed in Game 4 vs Mana was really reliant on massive parallel single unit/group control (blinking every single low health stalker individually, engaging from multiple sides simultaneously, etc).
If you acquire a billion dollars and give 10% of that to give well, I will say you have been a successful human, since it is "only" estimated to cost 175 billion a year to end poverty in 20 years[0], which means we only need 1750 such individuals each year for 20 years to end poverty, worldwide, forever, which is a goal worthy of humanity[1].

[1] One of the goals of the UN is to end extreme poverty by 2020, a very worthy goal, but this is going one step beyond that and ending global poverty, in all its forms, forever.
I'm biased but for me Chrome never replaced Firefox as a general use browser, it did for development (chrome dev tools has forced FF to up it's game - win/win for me) and I have to use it for testing for obvious reasons.

The thing with Firefox is that I know generally while they've made the odd misstep they do actually care about what they preach, I feel like Mozilla never had to say "Don't be evil" because there wasn't really any way they could be (on the scale of Google).
This is a huge concern. I have known several people who, when they lose their seasonal jobs, coast on unemployment insurance until the very last minute, sometimes even going as far as welfare and couch surfing before a new job finds them (they won't go looking for it themselves).

All they want is beer, weed, porn, and video games. They don't seem to want relationships, work, friendships beyond smoking buddies... it's saddening, honestly.

I worry that UBI will enable large swathes of these people, permanently stunted in their personal growth, incapable of acting as real adults. Meanwhile, UBI itself may not be a sustainable system; if it results in taxation that cannot be borne by those who keep working, the result will be that it will eventually be cancelled. What happens to all those who subsist on UBI if that happens? Nothing is guaranteed...
OMG, you've been working for 3 whole years and haven't done anything ground-breaking?! Seriously though, maybe you aren't 'great', whatever that means exactly, and I doubt it's necessary for you to believe that, whether it's true or not.

You might find (books like) Albert Ellis' New Guide to Rational Living useful - I did! It's about observing and recording your recurring thoughts, particularly ones that make you feel bad, and replacing them with more accurate, helpful ones - stopping the self-sabotage. It's amazing how mean we can be to ourselves without noticing. We're trained to be nice to others, without including ourselves in that. I used to do a lot of extremely negative, paralyzing self-talk - saying nasty things to myself I'd never dream of laying on someone else; sounds like you do this too, maybe. This falls under "How to love yourself", something I had to learn to do. Louise Hay has a great 12-point list of things under that heading, stuff like "Treat yourself like you'd treat someone you really love." Then as you get older, you realize you aren't so terrible, and others aren't so great..

I think 'self-belief' comes naturally with untangling that stuff, and otherwise isn't always a good sign, e.g.

"Thoroughly worldly people never understand even the world; they rely altogether on a few cynical maxims which are not true. Once I remember walking with a prosperous publisher, who made a remark which I had often heard before; it is, indeed, almost a motto of the modern world. Yet I had heard it once too often, and I saw suddenly that there was nothing in it. The publisher said of somebody, "That man will get on; he believes in himself." ...I said to him, "Shall I tell you where the men are who believe most in themselves? For I can tell you. I know of men who believe in themselves more colossally than Napoleon or Caesar. I know where flames the fixed star of certainty and success. I can guide you to the thrones of the Super-men. The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums." He said mildly that there were a good many men after all who believed in themselves and who were not in lunatic asylums. "Yes, there are," I retorted, "and you of all men ought to know them. That drunken poet from whom you would not take a dreary tragedy, he believed in himself. That elderly minister with an epic from whom you were hiding in a back room, he believed in himself. If you consulted your business experience instead of your ugly individualistic philosophy, you would know that believing in himself is one of the commonest signs of a rotter. Actors who can't act believe in themselves; and debtors who won't pay. It would be much truer to say that a man will certainly fail, because he believes in himself. Complete self-confidence is not merely a sin; complete self-confidence is a weakness. Believing utterly in one's self is a hysterical and superstitious belief.." - G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Programmers are not the only ones being mistreated by gaming companies. QA testers, graphic designers, etc... cannot simply "change jobs".

It's also not as simple as "you're free to leave". Most people working in the games industry are young. Many of them do live paycheck to paycheck. In many cases they may have also moved across the country for the job. Quitting a job is in and of itself a substantial risk for many people.

There is a reason we have worker protection laws. That reason is that companies can and will abuse workers without them. This has been proven time and time again.
> they only take cans sold at the store you bought them from

That might be the biggest issue. Around here (Finland) the deposit system is universal; most beverage containers are standardized and in the system by default. And the machines accept containers not within the system, they just won't give you money for them, so you don't have to worry accidentally mixing containers with deposit and those without.
On that page they say "Extensions that request access to all websites still get installed with that access, so the default behavior has not changed." That seems counter to the whole discussion about Chrome's changes yesterday.

>A new paper in Neuron, though, looks to be the most unignorable one yet with evidence that there’s some sort of viral/bacteial/fungal component to the disease. A team led out of a Mt. Sinai research group has gone over a pretty large sample of Alzheimer’s brain tissue (622 patients who died with the disease, and over three hundred control brains as well), sequencing infectious organism DNA, looking for changes in the proteome, etc. They find that aging brains in normal patients display plenty of viral signatures (as indeed is probably the case in many other tissues). But the AD samples were particularly enriched in herpesviruses 6A and 7, a result that repeated across three independent cohorts from different geographical locations (the brain tissue collections were from more than one previous effort). According to Stat, there’s a paper coming out next month from another group entirely that also implicates HHV6.
This is the beginning of a great list, but to apply everything without careful understanding / adapting to your situation would just end up confusing people and causing them problems. Some things are also very distro/environment specific (like the mounts layout).

There are tools which will verify the situation for you, but not force a specific solution.

Reinstall your PC or just clear cookies, boom, and their data is worthless.

You can continue to code the way you've been enjoying, just with the option to type your inputs and outputs if you choose to. Writing classical OOP isn't imposed on you by TypeScript, nor do you miss out on anything by not writing classical OOP.
Sam, how does "consistency" play a role?

I'm all over the place in my work over the past 10 years. I've worked on projects in several different disciplines (biotech, accelerators, consulting, environment). I tend to make forceful starts, but then drive myself off course either running out of money and getting a job or lack of a long term vision.

How do I resolve this?
I have to admit, I was going to post this - but it's probably a very polarized opinion.

The thing is, people do love the idealistic idea of every man creating his own luck - or that if you just work hard and smart enough, the sky is the limit.

When I went a top business school for my MBA, I'd say that 70% of my peers had the same upper middle-class upbringing. Back then, the vast majority went into consulting or banking, and are by every measure successful.

Ten years later and I now work in the startup industry, and it's mostly the same type people I went to b-school with. Not _wealthy_ people, but in the upper echelons of middle / upper middle-class.

I'm not even talking about the "small loan of a million dollars" or trust-fund babies, but just being born into a financially secure family, that pushed you to get a good education, which in turn led you to a good job, and a decent network.

I've lost count on how many ex-McKinsey, Bain, and BCG consultants I've met in the startup scene. People have this idea of entrepreneurs as your garage hacker, or avg. HS / College kid that came up with some neat solution - but from what I've seen, it's mostly kids from top schools, or ex-technologists, bankers, consultants, etc. from top companies, with the same socioeconomic and academic backgrounds.

Not at all disputing list that Sam wrote - lots of the people mentioned above do share these - but I think it's healthy to point out that some people have a clear advantage over others, even in the allegedly _meritocratic_ world of entrepreneurship.
It’s more so that the purpose of these tests is to see if the computer can strategize well. The result seems to be... not really, not yet at least.

To take a terminator situation, sure the robot will be a lot better at gun fighting, but if we can kite it with trivial attacks to make it walk into an obvious trap (not really that different from what happens in Starcraft today) then it’s not so threatening.

Nobody denies that machines are better at small tasks that are founded on reaction time, precise inputs, and wide span of attention. But the thing we’re trying to actually get them better at is strategic planning.
This is missing the fact that the vast majority of game developers are not "software engineers" While what you say is true for a large amount of software engineers in games. The vast majority of game developers are in Art, Design, Audio, QA, etc, where this does not apply.
We use wildcard certs (*.example.com) so each customer can have vanity-customer-name.example.com domains. I think our model is fairly common for multi-tenant domain name segregated systems.
They are listing in-app purchases directly through the app store. My guess is they did get some kind of deal though (Like the supposed 15% deal that Netflix had before they pulled their IAPs.)
They take a cut of in-app purchases/subscriptions as well, for apps distributed via the store. That's not to say there isn't likely a special deal in place, though.
It's extremely impressive, but at the same time it's still an interesting and fair question to say, "can we make an AI that beats humans while playing in a 'human like' fashion?", or alternatively, could we make an AI that would win if we put it inside a human body and made it play through those physical input restrictions?

(I do agree though that HN is way too negative overall. Partly it's just because, negative comments are more interesting. "Hey, this is cool!" doesn't have too much content. Nitpicks give you something to talk about.)

(Still, I've imagined a site where commenting is explicitly broken into two columns: Positive comments and critical comments. Then you could self-select to bask in the positivity for a bit before diving into the nitpicks.)
Nearly half the UK population voted to remain. Its quite possible for the 52% to have a view (however incoherent), and I and the other 48% to have a differing view.

If you want to claim that the UK and the EU won't be worse off if we get in to a petty tit for tat, then fine, we can have that discussion.

Please don't start adding my comments into quotes I disagree with, and views I don't hold.
> Folks forget now, but the existence of a large middle class in the US is due to reforms pushed by the labor movement in the first half of the 20th century.

Exactly the opposite. Unions started forming after WW2 which is when the middle class began its decline.
Own things: I agree with this.

The best way to own things is to leave Google/Facebook: What??? I know this is an entrepreneur blog, but what happened to the sentence ,,If you want to be rich don't start a startup''?

Most of my friends who are rich are working (or worked) at Google/Facebook and just accumulated assets over time (until they had enough money to stop working).

All you need is start accumulating assets as early as possible and get to 15-20x of your salary (at most 10 years if you're really frugal, more if not that frugal). Don't be afraid of not having much cash left if you have a stable job.
The fact that arbiters are stronger or weaker than the equivalent abilities in SCII isn't the issue. The issue is getting the AI tech to the point where it can figure out that you have to sac a base because it will waste time sending your army there only to have them recall is going to take a lot longer. An AI can figure out that there is an arbiter on the map, and that means there is a potential for it to recall some units into your base. That's easy.

BW isn't the perfect example or pure strategy, but there are dramatically less game-changing abilities in it. Think cyclone/marauder cheeses or 2 base warp gate allins or ravagers seiging your wall. SCII in general makes attacks come quicker relative to scouting. Injects, chrono, and mules make tech and attacks come sooner compared to BW. Reliable scouting is still basically tier 2.
Everyone benefits from a society with high labor costs. Except maybe short term looting interests of top tier capitalists. Even Henry Ford understood this.

High labor costs are why people want to live in the US in the first place; it sure ain't the food or the beautiful architecture.
You do realize JEEP looks as much like a new language as TypeScript does?

Yes, I am parent of 2 kids: 7 and 4 years old. But my (single) case doesn't matter. From my observations women are naturally much more capable than men to deal with kids. One simple fact: they're more talkative. So the kid has better contact with language. Simple example: when kid gets hurt mum is usually trying to cheer up while father is trying to say something like "oh, it's nothing, go on and play". At the beginning, the attitude of woman is needed by kid, later - the one from father. Both are very different and very important.
So in terms of children being successful, are we just judging by reproduction in this case? Wow, such a feat

Are you gonna hardcode all the HTML and CSS as well? I would expect resurrecting a 100% compatible toolchain for a mainstream source format 20 years from now will be easier than resurrecting a 100% compatible browser. Especially if that format is a stricter/less ambiguous one like typescript.
Missing the point about repair. Once you buy a gadget -- its literally yours. OEMS, including Apple, are blocking your option to fix your stuff, resell it, or tinker with it for their benefit, not yours. Has nothing to do with design -- just ownership.
So basically, you're suggesting a union Kickstarter. Makes sense.
I think they are wrong and Amazon is just sharing code with their Postgres layer.
We do that as well for the cheaper packages. But serious users insist on a our-service.client.com "vanity" scheme, which is easy enough with CNAME records, apart from TLS that adds significant cost.

For example, Application Load Balancers (ALB) come with a limit of max 25 certificates, which is non-starter for us. So you cannot avoid terminating your TLS in nginx/caddy etc (it also needs to be HA of course) and then hit another LB that stands in front of the actual service. You end up with a 2-layer LB architecture that adds cost and complexity.
The original AlphaGo showing (vs Fan Hui) had obvious problems. They weren't catastrophic, it was clearly playing at a professional level stronger than 1d, but it also wasn't obviously superhuman. Lee Sedol could have expected to win his matches, and not been arrogant about it.

The gap between that AlphaGo and the AlphaGo that beat Lee Sedol was probably something like 10 years of human improvement compressed into a couple of months. 500 Elo is huge.

Even if they still have further to go, comparing this to AlphaGo's progress is reasonable. I'm going to live dangerously and make an assumption - you probably understand Starcraft better than Go, so can see the flaws more easily. Any mistake in Go comes back to something the AI just didn't see.
I ran across this Red Bull video the other day; right at the beginning Mark Verbos shows how his new synth design has (if I understand correctly) hardware sliders to allow the user to adjust individual harmonics ... and circuitry (Hadn't seen the like of that before.)

I don't know why I couldn't upvote you but this absolutely. Also in India where there was universal basic income one of the positive side effect was that it reduced domestic violence as it gave financial freedom to women.

What most people don't understand is that UBI is not about giving free money. It's about giving the poorest of the poor a fighting chance to survive and shine in this unequal world.

Sure a certain percentage of the crowd will take advantage and be a "dole bludger" but these are persistent even in unemployment benefits schemes.
The vast majority of people in this category are not successful by the standards Sam describes.
> If a warning message is considered not fixable, or not desirable to fix, it’s preferable to remove the associated flag from the build chain.
