Unfortunately, that's one of the things that tends to be true of all new product offerings.

Mostly-screen multi-touch smartphones? They were only for the rich when they first launched too. As demand grows, scale enables other businesses to build cheaper options.

Given how quickly competitors copy anything vaguely new or novel coming out of Apple, it seems reasonable that someone will come up with a similar competing service before long.

If they don't, maybe it's also worth focusing some attention on those who directly try to exploit the poor and/or less knowledgeable?
Epoxy comes at a serious cost

1) It costs a lot of $ to begin with

2) Everything you apply it with is ruined within minutes

3) It can cause terrible dermatitis (always wear multiple pairs of nitrile, not latex, gloves). You can become sensitised to the point that you cannot share a room with sanding dust from it!

4) It's open time is short and varies according to the batch size due to the heat it produces. This means you have to spread large batches out in a tray to lose heat or it goes suddenly hard, or indeed melts your tray!

5) Clean up is nigh on impossible. Normally you are left chipping and sanding what is left

6) It has poor resistance to UV light

7) It leaves a residue that can stop paint sticking

8) It is unsuitable for thin glue lines like are used in furniture and traditional joints

But yes it is phenomenally strong and water resistant.

A better glue for joinery is polyurethane, especially the titebond stuff.

I don’t see how it’s different. The instantaneous production limit of cars/corn/computers is also fixed, but can be increased with demand. There is a notorious shortage of jobs for new PhDs[1], so it’s not like labor is a limiting factor.

Students in China can’t just decide to go to the US, they have to be approved by the Chinese government and there is no doubt that such approvals require allegiance to the CCP and and some willingness to help the CCP when asked.

What on earth are you talking about? I mean they have to get a passport, true. This takes about 10 days, but has no special requirements.

But that's the same situation as in the US, where school students literally recite the pledge of allegiance.

I'm a mechanical engineer who has been involved in the purchase of some industrial machinery. This is typical. You call the company, they will usually have a regional salesman come to your place of business to talk about it and bring literature. It's a very old way of doing business, but also effective. If there is a place to order from the website, it is usually for only after you have talked to their sales staff. This is actually a good website for me, because it shows a price. You would usually have to call to figure out if a machine costs $50k or $250k.
Stuff sent to the fake email address will be forwarded to the user’s real email address, from what I understand. So you will still be able to communicate with them.

Lots of responses, and I appreciate them, but I'm specifically looking for a bare metal server with "tons of RAM", that is at the same or lower price point as a google/microsoft/amazon "small" node.

I've never seen any of the providers listed offer "tons of ram" (unless we consider hundreds / low thousands of megabytes to be "tons") at that price point.
> However, for users who rely on services homed in the affected regions, the impact was substantial, particularly for services like YouTube or Google Cloud Storage which use large amounts of network bandwidth to operate.

> The network became congested, and our networking systems correctly triaged the traffic overload and dropped larger, less latency-sensitive traffic in order to preserve smaller latency-sensitive traffic flows, much as urgent packages may be couriered by bicycle through even the worst traffic jam.

> Finally, low-bandwidth services like Google Search recorded only a short-lived increase in latency as they switched to serving from unaffected regions, then returned to normal.

I’m pretty sure Nest Thermostats fall in the ultra low bandwidth category. Nobody controlling Nest via devices was able to operate their systems during this outage. Sounds like they better move Nest to the bicycle lane?

I really dislike smarmy “nothing to see here, maybe 10% of YouTube videos were slow” updates. The “1% of Gmail” is even worse, since everyone we know with Gmail was affected. This press release can only be targeting people who don’t use Gmail. (Enterprise cloud buyers, maybe?)

Third party status tracking showed virtually any brand that’s made public splash about hosting on Google Cloud was essentially unreachable for 3 hours. It was amazing to look at the graphs, the correlation was across the board.

Sure. My point is just that whatever bandwidth you can do locally, you can also do over the network.

As a sibling comment mentions though... the cost difference would be substantial. :(
Haha. Always good to be corrected by the subject in question :)

Thanks for the hard work in helping to get that project off the ground btw. As a language user and not an implementor, I sometimes feel bad that I use so much open source software without giving anything back except word of mouth approval.

I haven't read the full article yet, but I'm sure it is an immensely complicated situation balancing individual freedoms versus the spread of "disinformation". That is what I got from skimming last night. In the US we have so much of this right now with anti-vaxxers and people turning against medical science in favor of fraudulent cures like "essential oils".
Have you ever tried Claws[1]? I haven't used it for a while but when I did I was able to use it on quite older hardware running trimmed down versions of various Linux and BSD boxes.

Besides being light weight it's got some good features for an older client, it's GPL and can use plug-ins for extra functionality.

Nothing to do with he project, just a previously happy user.

A belief that, when the subject of the report is handing over cash and free samples to the reporter, "unbiased" reporting won't actually be unbiased.

> the nails are only there to hold it until the glue dries

I'm only dabbling with woodworking on a very basic level, but realising how strong wood glue is one of the big aha-moments I've had. As the article author mentions, screws are simply not good enough for holding stuff steady, but when combined with glue it's simply redicilously strong.
I'm extremely interested in the topic (as I get older but happen to like living). However some people seem to think De Grey is a bit of a crackpot?
Apple delivers privacy from 3rd party developers and at the same time retains all that user data for itself, shoring up its unfair competitive advantage as a non-neutral-platform who makes major forays into its partners’ businesses. Eg health apps, maps, news, podcasts, imusic, etc, etc.
Amiga was extremely popular in the UK, in good part because Commodore UK did a great job of marketing the machine.
On the other hand, if you build heirloom pieces with nice joinery, you want the glue to fail before the wood does. When that happens, it's an easy repair. If there's damage to the wood, it's a much more complex affair.

I use hide glue liquid, which is not very strong and not moisture resistant at all. But it's a pleasure to work with and I know that if it fails, I can put it back together again (doesn't even need the old glue to be cleaned up).

If anyone wants to geek out about historical adhesives for woodworking and other craft, I'll gladly share my experiences about DIY glue cooking at home.

Maybe you should have a look at roman successions, even if they were generally adopting relativelly close relatives.

Paternity is a social construct.

There are cultures where paternity simply is not important. In a matriachal society, a person's mother's brother is apt to be more important than a biological father, sometime to the point of not knowing who the father is (because it is unimportant).

It's hard not to get that impression with cage-camps at the borders, asking foreign travelers for all their social media details and locking out nationalities like Iranians and Chinese from certain ventures.

Yet, here you are claiming it's "all just Chinese propaganda", apparently completely unaware about the fact that a statement like that is pretty much it's very own propaganda by deflecting everything that could be wrong as a mere invention by the "enemy from outside".

But when outrageous claims are made about China [0], the vast majority of people just gobble them up like it's manifest truth itself, without even thinking about questioning the methodology or the involved parties motives.

We are definitely looking for product managers, along with software engineers (e.g. backend, frontend, SRE, data science, security, cloud, API design) and designers (e.g. UX research, service design).

For product marketing, the closest role to that might be content strategy, which has proven quite useful.
Hmmm, I don't think is 100% necessary. Web assembly and PWAs have caught up in the last few years. I reckon things like firefox os would have a better chance now.

This answered all the questions I had. I was really racking my brain on what one system at Google could go down to cause this much damage, but it makes perfect sense that bandwidth becoming unavailable and everything in the "default" or "bulk" traffic class being dropped would do it.

The real question is whether the fix will be to not reduce bandwidth accidentally, or to upgrade customer traffic to a higher QoS class. It makes sense that internal blob storage is in the lowest "bulk" class. Engineers building apps that depend on that know the limitations. It makes less sense to put customer traffic in that class, though, when you have an SLA to meet for cloud storage. People outside of Google have no idea that different tasks get different network priorities, and don't design their apps with that in mind. (I run all my stuff on AWS and I have no idea what the failure mode when bandwidth is limited for things like EBS or S3. It's probably the same as Google, but I can't design around it because I don't actually know what it looks like.) But, of course, if everything is high priority, nothing is high priority. I imagine that things in the highest traffic class kept working on Sunday, which is a good outcome. If everything were in the highest class, then nothing would work.

(When I worked at Google, I spent a fair amount of time advocating for a higher traffic class for my application's traffic. If my application still exists, I wonder if it was affected, or if the time I spent on that actually paid off.)
PS4 Emulation – Orbital: The journey to the safe mode
Yup, and then down in the code, it was #ifdef's up to your eyeballs[1], even if you went all the way and used autoconf/configure and then... more #ifdefs.

And we can tell our kids we had this thing called endianness which showed up in structure packing, system calls, network byte ordering, and hopefully portable binary file formats. Thankfully we had RPC and IDL to save us from that mess... not.

Oh and don't forget the windowing system war on top of the Unix war, all with different desktop and library concepts: CDE, Motif, Openwin, NeWS, DM, X11 and X10 at least.

One compatibility honorable mention goes to Apollo for at least making an attempt at flavor normalization: you could have an env var that would resolve a symlink at every file access near the top of the filesystem, where there would be a collection of different BSD/SystemV/Aegis(?) all running at once.

China local governments slash subsides for LED makers
That's a very good rebuttal, but it doesn't address the point that the premium apps are forced to shoulder more than their share of the load for operating the app store, right? Would there be some way for Apple to charge apps for tracking or running in-app adds?
It's not a problem, yet. But I would argue that it's quite clear from Apple's actions the last ~5 years that they really want to make Mac OS behave as iOS as much as possible, including making it impossible for regular users to run arbitrary non app store software.

I know it sounds crazy, but they have for years now been taking steps - like this - which nobody seems to find a rational cause for, but which step by step seem to remove obstacles of technically, legal, or user expectations in line with making OS X an app store only platform, and if possible completely replace OS X with iOS.

>Frankly, I don't think we should educate anyone that goes back to a hostile country. China is rising, and that can cause a lot of problems for us, see China Sea for one.

This would be an utterly disasterous policy. The only reason to enact it is if your own side is actively seeking war.

And may I note that irrespective of the overall behaviour of the two regimes, in the case of complaining about China causing problems for US interests in the China sea, the China sea is a lot nearer to China than it is to the US.
I think there is a big difference between "hidden" affiliate links, or even hiding behind fake personas (aka https://uk.pcmag.com/news-analysis/120580/how-a-vpn-review-s...), and being honest about what is going on.

Most people will be aware that affiliate links will affect content a tiny bit, but if the authors are fairly trustworthy and honest people, I think that works.
I'm not saying that something like this does not exists (and I know for certain that some people overstay their visas), but it just seems silly to me that people coming from countries with similar quality of life and opportunities as the US would risk getting caught doing something illegal, in a country that is notoriously strict on immigration matters.

Apple Pay has been my primary payment method since the day it launched in the UK.

Fortunately, most payment terminals in London already supported NFC payments thanks to NFC debit and credit cards long being prevalent here, and Apple Pay is just tokenised NFC payments.

Same is true of literally every iPhone owner I know, and usage simply increased as payment limits went from £20 to £30 to unlimited (unlimited on Apple Pay, but still limited to £30 on NFC cards or when using older payment terminals).

Plus I got to ditch my oyster card and just use weekly fare capping after a while too. Good times.

Yes, there are drawbacks.

I'd say multiple pairs of gloves is overkill, plain medical latex ones do just fine for me. Just don't mix or apply it with a finger.

Open time of modern ones is acceptable, Many times I found myself waiting for it to get more sticky than otherwise. And heat is of no concern for joints.

For point 8 I'm not sure what are you talking about. It's great for thin-layer joints, that's where it actually excels.

Never had any problems with UV, but maybe because it was always painted over (and what's the problem with painting? sand it a bit, that's taken as granted as even epoxy itself won't stick to unsanded epoxy)

Besides, knowing you won't be able to get it off once it gets on something trains concentration and fine motor control :)

As for $ well, it costs a bit more, and time spent on weighing and mixing is well over any cost difference in raw materials. Still in the end you get a joint that'll be the last thing that fails.
