Sure, as long as the amount of those buffets stays within reasonable limits. If I stumble to a site from Google, there's no way I'm just going to register to their monthly subsciption plan, no matter how useful their content was. But if I was happy with the content, I could maybe make a one-time donation or payment.

I'm afraid that embracing periodic "buffet-style" pricing also embraces big centralized platforms, like Medium, that can provide me enough content to consume for the whole billing period and then they can distribute the profits among content creators. Maybe that could work, but I'm sure HNers have a thing or two to say about the idea of making Medium the buffet where everyone's going to eat.
But what is left of Carthage? A modest number of average-preserved ruins of a later Roman provincial town. There are probably 10 of those in Italy alone, if not more. If I can get that in a non-touristy southern Italian province, why go to Tunisia for it? It ain't gonna be that much cheaper for safe and non-trashy accommodation and transportation.

Cloudflare outage caused by bad software deploy (updated)
Despite having a math background, I got stuck on page 1, which is supposed to be definitions, where "Utilization" is used without being defined. With some googling, it turns out this is the ratio of a Poisson parameter to an exponential parameter, under the assumption that arrivals are Poisson distributed and service times are exponentially distributed. Basically, utilization = (average rate of arrivals)*(average service time).
And yet, it would be _my_ hell. And I would be _alive_ and not dead.

It wouldn't, and this whole subthread of tipping is way off from what this article and service provider is even on about. So since we aren't actually talking about micropayment tipping, lets continue:

Having the ISP handle both the subscription and payment would be reducing and bundling a pooled monthly subscription away from consumers.

Zika [1], West Nile, Encephalitis, Dengue, Chikungunya have all shown up in at least Texas and Florida in the past few years [2]. While I agree reducing pooled water is the most important vector control action you can take, it seems likely that the US will not remain immune from arboviruses in the long term. Thankfully the vast majority of cases continue to be travel-related but there are small numbers of locally-acquired disease being reported since ~2013.

Which is to say in those areas at least you should most definitely wear long clothes, wear an approved repellent, and avoid sleeping in unprotected areas (rooms with open windows without screens, outdoors without netting, etc).

> "Then again, when some lunatic American colonists tried an alternative system of governance everyone knew was absurd and evil, it worked out surprisingly well."

Are you sure they did? At the time republicanism was in vogue because Roman classicalism was currently in fashion. However these same men (particularly Hamilton) spoke very negatively about democracy, considering it a road to tyranny.

So at the time, democracy was considered absurd and perhaps evil. But were republics? The UK had an experience with republicanism before America, under Cromwell (that left a bad taste in the mouths of many monarchists) but even so it changed the way a lot of people thought. John Locke for instance predates the American revolution.
these 'mysterious' linkages between Robert Greene's book and some British Syrian Civil war book and extremist content is probably the result of machine learning flagging. When you have financial loan making software that can predict the liability of a person by looking at data as seemingly unrelated as their phone's battery life, it seems fairly obvious that a deep learning model would be able to do/identify the same from some of these other connections. It's important to note that none of this means that the individual items are inherently terrorist or encourage terrorism but rather that, perhaps, terrorists or those the government has identified as subversives appreciate the content.
Tourist buses are fundamentally recreational, not a form of transportation. Their goal is to allow their passengers to see specific things, so they often use inefficient routes and move slowly to give their passengers a better view. Most of their passengers ride the bus along a circular path, rather than boarding or disembarking along the way. (Often, they don't even allow boarding after the tour begins.) As such, they place more load on the road network than a city bus, without any of the transport benefits.

Typically companies and teams are split up by either function or by product (See https://stratechery.com/2016/apples-organizational-crossroad... for some thoughts on this). Assuming that you will have 50 engineers working on one product, they will probably be working on different parts of that product. While you can do a front-end/backend split it's more common for a team to support certain functionality of the application. If you take Github as an example, they probably have a team supporting git operations, a team for Issues, a team supporting adding new security features. Similarly your product will have groups of features that one team will support whereas another team will be responsible for features C, D and E.

Availability of network access to existing instances.

What you're talking about with provisioning capacity is a totally different matter. Provisioning availability is not guaranteed (unless you purchase reserved instances) and there are frequently periods where certain instance types are not available in certain AZs, though they do try to resolve that as fast as practicality allows them to. It really stinks sometimes though - especially if you get into a situation where something fails in your autoscaling group and there is no capacity available for a replacement instance. Usually you can get around that though by making sure your ASG is set up for multiple AZs, or worst case changing instance types (though that can be problematic in it's own way).

It also evokes the classic lines of many hugely popular 70s/80s hatchbacks. Huge numbers of people have much affection for the hatchbacks of this era, especially the so called “hot hatches” that many European brands are famous for - cars like the 205 GTI etc.

I think Honda nailed the styling on this. Worth also pointing out that those camera wing mirrors, while legal in most European markets, still aren’t road legal in the US, I imagine the Department of Transport will have to relax the rule that all cars sold in the US have two physical wing mirrors pretty soon.

I personally find this attempt at modern reinterpretation of an old design far more successful than any of the Mini models BMW has done.

When choosing a big cloud provider people forget that it's many orders of magnitude more complicated to run something at Google scale then to maintain one single server. For example the whole Stack overflow website runs on one or two servers. World of Warcraft also used to run on one single (blade) server. Chances are one server will be good enough for most use cases. And if you don't want to have it in your closet there are plenty of dedicated hosting and colocations.

As the updates to [1] say, we're working to resolve a networking issue. The Region isn't (and wasn't) "down", but obviously network latency spiking up for external connectivity is bad.

We are currently experiencing an issue with a subset of the fiber paths that supply the region. We're working on getting that restored. In the meantime, we've removed almost all Google.com traffic out of the Region to prefer GCP customers. That's why the latency increase is subsiding, as we're freeing up the fiber paths by shedding our traffic.

Edit: (since it came up) that also means that if you’re using GCLB and have other healthy Regions, it will rebalance to avoid this congestion/slowdown automatically. That seemed the better trade off given the reduced network capacity during this outage.

You can use short circuiting instead:

<p>No items.</p>
}
{items.length === 1 &&
<p>Warning: You only have 1 item, at least 2 is required</p>
}

`false` is not rendered by react, so this code is perfectly fine.
I think what a lot of these models miss is the consent part of the system. In ads you don't give explicit consent to pay the publisher but they do get paid. I think that psychological element is both very obvious and almost always ignored with any new model. If we want to make a successful model we have to maybe borrow good ideas from models that are most successful today and lack of explicit consent is absolutely one of them. This reminds of the water my plant project where someone created a bot controlled by a subreddit to water a plant. Can we sort of allow access to a money account that we, the user, own but controlled by someone else? What would happen if any website publisher could withdraw from that account based on their judgement? There would need to be some obvious limits in place.

Of note here is that the American lunatics and the Chinese lunatics exactly evoke the opposite concern in people.

For the United States, many land owners were concerned with these radical ideas of free people and a republic, e.g. breaking away from autocracy, because they believed that people would be inherently prone to chaos and violence.

For China, the opposite is true. People are concerned about the autocratic dictatorship that subdues personal freedom to the goal of the PRC and state, as they believe human progress, kindness and trust will be stifled and ultimately destroyed in such a system.

I find it quite interesting.

> History has shown that buffet-style pricing (Netflix, Spotify, et al) is much more appetizing

For all we know, Netflix and Spotify might be special cases. Cable TV uses the same buffet-style pricing and plenty of people object to that, because it means funding content that they have zero interest in.

I'd say the better solution is crowdfunding a la Patreon/Kickstarter, combined with free-and-open content release as an incentive for users to pitch in. This model can be problematic for some forms of media where full costs are hard to assess, especially in advance (feature video), but it would work wonders for "plain" text and other low-commitment stuff.
While I'm in general a blockchain & crypto skeptic- worth noting that FT Alphaville are not arguing in good faith, they are self-proclaimed contrarians who are fanatically anti-tech, anti-tech companies, and in particular anti-US tech companies. They are especially obsessed with blockchain and Tesla/Musk. They churn out 1-2 anti-crypto or anti-Musk or anti-Silicon Valley opinion pieces like this literally every day, apparently for a British finance industry audience. I used to enjoy the blog, but it's veered into anti-tech (and frankly, borderline anti-American tech) zealotry. (None of this is meant to be an endorsement of blockchain, but I can be skeptical while still examining the system in good faith)

Yeah, that happens sometimes based on which team notices, thinks it might be different and then opens an outage.

Sorry for the confusion, and yes, the fiber link issue is the root cause. Draining the Google.com traffic presumably resolved the issue for you, though you may still be seeing elevated latency as the updates suggest.
However much we technical people might salivate at the prospect of designing a multi-cloud solution, for the vast majority of businesses it simply isn't worth the cost / complexity. I'd wager 90-something percent of applications could suffer multi-hour outages without impacting business function to any measurable degree.

Plus the fact that without serious investment, you're probably more liable to decrease availability by going multi-cloud thanks to the increased system complexity.
I don’t think it’s happened (yet) although some of the earlier outages when AWS was younger were pretty far reaching. I think all of S3 has gone down a time or two.

Hngggg...as someone that is not so big on modern cars (my background in cars defines that loosely as "post-1995") I've gotta say that is ADORABLE. It reminds me more than a little of the original Mini 1275GT! I can't remember the last time I saw a new car whose styling I liked.

From my perspective, 221 lb/ft of torque is only slightly, as in single digits, less than the legendary Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST-205) from the 90s, and in such a cute car! If it's as small and light as it looks, that could be an awful lot of fun. :)
