If you don't mind me asking, which cloud provider did you move your client to? Or, moved them on-premise, you mean?
This is my first year. As I missed the start time I created an event to remind me and published it for anyone else who'd wish to subscribe.

Because it happens at a low enough frequency that dealing with it at places I've managed physical racks is pretty much a rounding error relative to the hardware costs.

And AWS has other complexities, so the devops costs with AWS are different, but rarely lower than managing physical hardware.

I'd never pick AWS based on total cost - it's an expensive convenience that first starts to pay off in terms of cost once you're big enough to negotiate huge discounts.

If you can afford it, it's great, but a lot of people who use AWS have no idea how much of a premium they pay for it.
AMD was more than competitive in low to mid end. When the mid end was GTX 1060 vs RX 580, the RX 580 was almost always the better deal. Or RX 570 vs GTX 1050 Ti, the 570 being up to double as fast. Nvidia still sold better. Not an accident that Nvidia still has nothing to beat the RX 570 (only stronger offers at a higher price point).

It's only the high highend where AMD has nothing. AMD did fairly well with the RX 5700 now in the lower highend, clearly better offers in that segment. So the situation already improved there. On the other hand, right now with the GTX 1660 (Super) Nvidia is stronger in the $200 to $300 segment.
There's a great talk by Eric Wastl that describes how he does it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS9882S0ZHs
Librem One is nothing but a bundling of already-existing services into a branded product.

You can use OpenPGP with your email, Matrix to chat, Mastadon for social, and OpenVPN for tunneling without becoming dependent on Purism.

I think compromising on privacy would destroy their value proposition, and alienate all their customers. That's unlikely to happen. And similarly, I don't think it's likely they'll become a walled garden, because most people will be outside their service.

However, the basic question is: why would you want to tie your online identity to their service? Get your own domain name, and use service providers to support that. You can still have exactly the same features as Librem One without being tied to them ...
While you can claim Google and its employees liars only to strengthen your own belief, but that only deteriorates the signal to noise ratio of this discussion.

And surprisingly for most of HN readers, Google has been pretty transparent on the policy of its ads business. In fact, Google has pretty strong incentives for transparency in this area due to advertisers, who give all the money anyway.

> I'm against dishonest advertising with loaded phrases like "sane defaults" (this term has its place, but it's not here) and "for humans" (this term is always a red flag) when the tool invents a load of unconventional, unintuitive syntax.

Author of the dishonest advertising here ;)

I don't think the fact that the tool introduces a mini language for crafting HTTP requests on the command line contradicts with the statement that the tool also provides what the author believes are sensible defaults (e.g., default to POST when sending data vs. GET when not, default to "prettifying" HTTP messages for human consumptions on the terminal vs. not touching them when the output is redirected, etc.).

"For humans" is meant to highlight the focus of this project on usability and interactive usage, as opposed to curl’s focus on feature-completeness across a number of protocols and non-interactive usage:

> curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP). The command is designed to work without user interaction. [1]

Well in the given example the user asks a question "who was the actor that..." and Google gives them the answer. This is really hard to achieve by accident no matter how much traffic you get. It requires NLP machinery to answer a question, it's not a matching problem but an understanding problem.

There are at least three kinds of queries that a search engine has to handle. Requests for websites e.g. "Facebook". Traditional keyword searches across the web e.g. "Twitter ban political ads", and questions "Who was the guy who voiced bender?".
I already made the conclusion!
Today I can buy a t-shirt for less than an hour at minimum wage (in the USA).

The reality is that the loom, for as amazing as it is, is only a small piece of why that item costs so little.

Tunic, possibly wool or linen. Both of these items still come at a massive premium today when compared to a cotton or a synthetic. We have made changes and massive progress in the production of the base materials.

We have transport issues, it is unlikely that your typical tunic was an imported good. It was probably made and sourced much more locally. Today, due to the nature of production and the structure of tax and tariffs on garments it is likely that your t-shirt is fairly well traveled, with it crossing the ocean more than once (cotton to Asia, woven in one place, made into a garment in another, possibly printed on in a third before even making it to you).

There is a LOT more to the story, sewing machines, zippers (YKK is a fascinating company), elastic, pattern making, fabric cutting. The boxes that your products are shipped in, cardboard and steel, the packaging plastic - the inks for it. Dye is a whole field of science and research that has made so much progress in the last 50 years never mind going as far back as a "tunic".

The point is there is a massive iceberg under that loom, one you barely see or think about.

These guys keep coming back every few months/year and it worries me. These people are trying to build something esoteric that is trying to tap into the draw of ritualistic enigmas all with the aim of forwarding their racist views on society. I really wish they would go away.
Never experienced slowness with it, what specifically is the problem?
> The level of corruption on display by the three organizations involved in this scam: ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), ISOC (The Internet Society), and PIR (Public Interest Registry), is astounding and very illegal.

If these organizations are so corrupt, then them selling .org simply demonstrates that they're too corrupt to manage it. We can't simply reverse this, you're just handing it back to the entity that sold it.

So... what do we replace them with? Because I'm pretty sure you'll get a new organization made up of people who will be as fallible and prone to corruption as any of these organizations and Ethos are.
So this is the 3rd time these guys are coming back here and because of the tepid reception they’ve received in the past it looks like they bought shills along this time.
If you follow the thickest lines, you get into the fried liver or 5... Na5 lines. Very suspicious.

This is coming to QLD too (along with $1000 fines), and I totally support it. Whenever I'm cycling in traffic, I see plenty of people on their phones. The worst is people swerving into bike lanes without looking - peripheral vision seems to be completely lost when a driver's mind isn't on the job.
Yes, that's the danger, isn't it? You run the danger of missing when the alternative offers are really much better - like now with Threadripper and Epyc. Assuming that holds true for your workload, with the current generation likely though.

Strong brand loyalty is sometimes rational for some groups, but not for the market overall
Anti-SEO is my first guess, that and tweaking for fears of regulation or bad non-grown-up PR...

Google's algo changes since about panda have been burying good web sites and content while bringing quicker answers and 'sanitized' aka semi-censored results to the top.

Some of this is over reaction to SEO and trying to out do the spammers - but the collateral damage to the results and thus the end users who believe that google brings the truth is hard to calculate.

Combine that with regulation like dmca, right to be forgotten and others.. results are even more censored, and the general population does not know what they are not seeing, as they still trust google to be bringing the truth.

worry about bad PR from various factions - tweak the algorithms.. and you can say for sure that the results the more adolescent google brought a decade ago were often more of what people were looking for.. and the results today are often like cheap irradiated / sanitized snacks, not the full enchilada that was once a G search away.

Much of this started happening when whats his name became that adult in the room and started putting the finger on the scale to change what millions could find, it's gotten more and more censored every update since then, and less transparent about that.

in my biased opinion.. your searches and the results will vary. I still use other engines for different things, and I feel strongly that we need more search engines. Anyone who wants to create a better adult engine, let me know.
I have found when speaking to police officers, that they find it soothing if I spell names in the phonetic alphabet (alpha, bravo, charlie) and describe people and events in a structured way, as if I am intending to assist their note taking.

in all the US states I'm familiar with, speed cameras issue tickets against the vehicle, not the driver. the owner of the vehicle gets a fine but no points against their license. usually the camera is aimed in such a way that you can't see the driver in the photo, or the quality just isn't good enough to reliably identify them. so they tend to be a lot less intrusive than a camera that would need to see what's going on inside the vehicle. from the other comments, I gather speed cameras in some european countries may be more intrusive and actually identify the driver.

> It is about saving lives.

this is always the justification given for surveillance, and as always, it is unsatisfying. the bar for pointing cameras at the general public, most of whom have not yet done anything wrong, should be a lot higher. if it's truly a public safety crisis, we should be able to justify hiring some more traffic cops.
Radars jammers aren't legal (because radio waves are regulated by the FCC), but laser jammers are actually legal in most of the US (because light is regulated by the FDA):

https://youtu.be/vQtLms02PFM : popped out today on my YouTube feed, pretty relevant to this whole discussion (and also really worth talk)
another point: you don't pay for services you don't use, so AWS is not "bundled" to begin with. you get to pick and choose. in such a model, i don't see any benefit in fragmentation tbh.
As someone who has worked in support and customer-facing roles for a very long time, I am not threatened by documentation. I am threatened by out-of-context quotes, twisting of what I said or wrote, and what someone who is "just taking notes" is implying by that statement.

In my experience, people who play this card have an almost-certain probability of using things like strategic ellipses or partial quotes against me later. Ever been in enterprise support and been hauled into a deposition where you got asked if a partial quote of yours was actually what you said when it technically was but not in that context? It's not fun.

When people pull that stunt on me, I absolutely turn into the most straight-laced automaton you've ever met. You will receive nothing more than the shortest sentences I can construct in the flattest monotone I can muster and I will do nothing more than the barest minimum required because I am not sticking my neck out for your shitty problem if you are angling for a way to throw me under the bus.
I am not suspicious :). I have taught my son to avoid the fried liver attack as black, but he has often walked into it and lost.
Edit: for full clarity, the author of [1] did reach out in order to get feedback. Which I can only applaud.
Because Outbrain and Taboola can easily be 1/10th or more of a legit site's revenue, on the order of millions of dollars. I'm not saying that's a good thing, it's a very difficult argument with the amount of money you could potentially miss out on.
My theater knowledge is dated, but there’s a major potential benefit for LED in theater: they can modulate quickly.

I’m familiar with two kinds of high-power theatrical lighting: tungsten and discharge. Tungsten is inefficient and has poor power factor when dimmed. Discharge lamps can’t cycle quickly, so, as a practical matter, they are turned in well before a show starts (to make sure they all work!) and stay on, at full power, until after the show. A motorized shutter modulates the light output. This wasted tons of power when the shutter is closed.

LEDs can cycle essentially arbitrarily quickly, and a good driver gets a power factor near 1.

I think it would be interesting to design a theater lighting system with a DC bus. Tungsten lights (where needed) would be driven by PWM, and LEDs would be driven directly by PWM if the voltages matched or with a DC-DC converter otherwise. There would be a battery to even out the load to minimize demand charges.

I don’t know what a three-phase AC-to-DC converter rated for, say, 100kW would cost. You’d want one that can be controlled such that it can share load in a controlled manner with a battery on the DC side.

Thanks for the "elm dict" example. That's a really good one which actually does highlight practical differences between Google and DDG when I just tried it myself.

Most of the time I see comments like this, people don't provide hard examples of queries they found unsatisfying with one search engine compared to another.

Genuinely, there is a reason why it is called a "trip". You either need enough experience to guide yourself or you need a tour guide to make sure you have a good experience.

One of the first times we did LSD with my friends in college, in the end we all were thinking "this is why they call it a trip. we all went somewhere together and came back".

Set and setting matter a lot and it isn't bro-science. You're talking about drugs that take your mental chatter and external stimuli and allow them to flow freely. Anything bad or anxiety producing will get amplified and without the proper experience, it might spiral out of control.
Seems like the most likely route to success would be for a few big internet companies to set up a .org nonprofit and treat it as the authority, ignoring icann. Fork the tld, in other words.

The thing that stops me riding an e-bike is that my road bike is faster, and keeps me fitter. Part of this is that the maximum power output of an e-bike is legally limited, but I don't know how these limitations vary by country.

(Also, with my pedant hat on, the phrase "high rate of speed" used in the article to mean "high speed" really annoys me -- a high "rate of speed" would be a high acceleration!)
That’s just due to cost cutting (poor shielding). GaN will allow a faster slew rate (higher break down voltage), so emissions will actually become worse.

The FCC needs to enforce emissions regulations. I remember when PCs (even the C64) had cases to meet emissions requirements. Now you see PCs in glass cases. It really sucks doing amateur radio in an urban area due to spectrum pollution.
I disagree. Cars are killing machines, and should be constantly tracked at all times. Over a million dead every single year, 40k in the USA, and 3 every day in Australia. And that does not include the indirect deaths from pollution, urban sprawl, lack of exercise, etc....

> That money would go a lot farther invested in modernizing vehicle safety

Such a meaningless statement.

People shouldn't even be in cars most of the time that they are. In Australia, we are addicted to cars, where a large part of the population can not move without them. Disgusting.

Stuff that I found by clicking ..

2. click the copy symbol to the right of the board to copy as FEN
It's a question of expression vs reproduction. A 3d scan copies the object being scanned, without interpretation or (intentional) embellishment. It's the same with photographs taken for documentation purposes. The skill required doesn't matter.

I used to be a photographer, and a tech at a high-end photo lab (e.g. we had a couple of Condé Nast magazines as clients). A lot of jobs incurred more work from the technically demanding end (high resolution scans, color matching) than the creative end.

It's not always clear-cut, there's usually going to be a bit of both sides. There's the whole idea of derived works, where the changes you've made are yours but the work as a whole is also entangled in the copyright of the original. But the more the new work is (meant to be) a faithful reproduction, the more it's "just" a copy and not a new riff. Again, it's about the intention and the difference in content between old and new, not so much about how much work or skill was required.

Eric, the author, says he won't accept any puzzle submissions because of attribution and legal issues. This seems like the wrong outcome for people who want to make the site better but don't want credit, compensation, or attribution.

Has anyone seen a site using an IP assignment agreement which is the equivalent of "take my work, I don't want credit, and it's just for your site"?

The Creative Commons CC0 license comes closest, but one could scrape those puzzles and create a competing site, which I'd guess Eric wants to avoid.
Do you think it's likely that the Standard Model cannot sufficiently explain superconductivity? Or alternatively, that it can be perfectly explained, but the actual analysis is just super difficult?

I find this interesting because pretty much everything else in day to day life seems to have been explained by the standard model minus gravity.
Ironically, the best USB-C charger for something like a phone (laptops come with chargers, anyway) I've found is simply the Raspberry Pi 4 USB-C charger - very cheap ($10), small, plenty power (15W), fixed cable and no fucking blue Anker LED that can illuminate your bedroom.
Yeah, its the meaning.. Words express the meaning but the words or symbols aren't the meaning. I've thought about this a while ago, but you reminded me about it.. thanks!
I've been wondering - what happens if you consider a market as a form of commons that companies need to take care of in the same way (or suffer the same tragedy)?

The examples that come to mind are telecoms in rural areas (what with all the town stepping in to do it themselves) and healthcare (what with the general sentiment (AFAIK) that the status quo (in the US) isn't working).
I am not sure what you mean, but an anvil is about as high-tech a device as you get in medieval times. They would be one of the most expensive items in a village.
You guys are polishing the steam engine, while we need some real progress. Typing a search query isn't much better than typing a SQL query. This should be the last resort thing.

We need a service that would organize the information for us. Instead of us telling the service what we want to see, the service should tell us what's worth attention. Some people care about NFL, so they would be given the most valuable news about NFL. Others care about superconductors, so the service presents them a daily summary of most important advances there.
Intel vs AMD in the early days reminded me of two car dealerships competing. Intel had its 5 liter V8 and AMD had a 3 liter V6 twin-turbo. Both engines made 500 horsepower but Intel tried to persuade people that the AMD 500 horsepower was inferior.

This sounds about right? Nobody really "trusts" CAs, but the whole WebPKI system that surrounds it is a lot more intricate than most people understand, and we've reached a sort of trust detente with it.
