I'm fairly sure they just let you out of your contract if you move somewhere you can't receive their service. Is that not the case?

It seems like real estate all over the world is overpriced at the moment. All the good stuff has been bought. Lots of investors do it for prestige than money. There's also been a rise in people wanting 'passive income' and somehow thinking that houses are the easiest way for it.

Not saying you can't make money off it, but it feels like the odds are you'd lose money if you don't know what you're doing, and you'll put it into something that's not liquid.

If you're keeping your operation fairly small and you haven't brought on any sales staff, I think those "enterprise service" middlemen can be really helpful.

It took no effort on your part to get those additional users. It might be indirect, but for a purely API service, I don't think it makes a great difference.

The risk would be if they implement some layer over your API service and then down the road shift it to another provider. To avoid that, I would actually try to find and partner with any such resellers to make sure they stick with you.

You didn't understand what I wrote. I said that having interdependent services the way the diagram was drawn leads to an extremely fragile system. If one service goes down, they all go down. It's not a realistic environment or it's a very poorly designed one. If you simplify the diagram to one that is more realistic, with more 1:1 or N:1 relationships, then the combinatorial factor decreases, and then there is no article to write about.

To be clear, the article says "Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died." The issue is with reporting (the denominator). The bar for "reporting" COVID-19 positive is very high relative to the flu, especially as some countries (ahem USA) don't / didn't even permit testing of all symptomatic patients.

So yes maybe it is orders of magnitude more deadly than the flu but it doesn't seem clear at all that we have sufficient information to say that it is 3.4%

I want to commen just to make sure it's incredibly clear to never take your eyes off your kids around a pool. My youngest child nearly drowned in 2 feet of water with a ton of adults around. I never take my eyes off my kids around water now. It's too easy for something terrible to happen.
"Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died"

The keyword here is reported. We don't know how many unreported cases there are, it could be 10x the reported ones. In the US it's much more than that, given that almost nobody has been tested. We have 9 deaths so far and probably thousands of infected people.
Not sure if you're accusing me of something, but just in case: I'm not spreading a false sense of security. I do think prophylaxis and management of the disease is urgent. I think the same of the flu. People at risk tend to die from these diseases. I think health systems of every country should deal with the infection, as well as manage seasonal flu. If anything, I'm asking why people worry more about this than about regular flu, when we know the flu can be deadly.

I'm asking for data, projections, etc. Do we know it's more serious? If so, the data is welcome. As usual, judging by the media, coronavirus is the apocalypsis and journalists are playing this up for all it's worth.

Some people already told me the measured death rate is already higher than regular flu. That's data I can understand. I'd like to know how this compares with initial death rate of any new type of flu, before it stabilizes itself.
The EU is integrating it's military further. So Poland would essentially be a nuclear power. Even right know, Poland has allies, who have made the mistake of ignoring them being invaded for too long, and would probably not do so again.
$72/month per cluster, regardless of the size. It's interesting they're not charging per managed node (outside of the regular machine cost), makes it steep if you want to have a small cluster up.

3.4% of reported cases have died. That doesn’t mean the actual IFR is 3.4%.

Data modeling suggests it’s closer to 0.98%. It’s also important to note that age plays a significant factor. The IFR is about 0.2% for young healthy people, while it is quite dangerous for people over 60 with existing conditions.

That's about $72 a month, which matches Amazon EKS's lowered pricing. I guess that rules out my hopes of EKS not charging for the management plane in the near future.
My point is your article is based on a fake premise, or a poorly designed premise. Your architecture that creates this combinatorial explosion is only because your supposed microservice architecture is poorly designed. If you look at a real microservice architecture, it won't be nearly as complicated and it's not as big of a deal to version.
Many lucky individuals from wealthy families (in the USA at least) do not pay for their own weddings out of pocket, since it is tradition for the bride's family to pay for the wedding and the groom's parents to pay for the honeymoon.
Real-time != fast.
1. It is both more contagious and lethal than flu. There were estimates that 40% to 70% of the world population will eventually get infected. Depending on how the world responds to this - millions might die.

2. This isn't flu. The same amount of people will die from flu this year as last year. COVID-19 deaths are additional deaths on top of that. Saying that we shouldn't worry about it because every year many of people die of flu, is like saying that we shouldn't make a big deal of the 2004 Indian tsunami because many people die of drowning anyway.
I think that we have entered a new 'trust' phase, where we pretty much don't care about it and just want familiarity. Look at Facebook, privacy has been violated a thousand times, and we still keep logging in. Experian is still chugging along. People used and paid for AOL for years when they did not have to.

Online consumption is different than in person. You go to a restaurant and the food is bad you probably don't go back. Online the bulk of consumers just keep going back because that's what they are used to. We love our favorites.

Never trust free without an escape hatch.
I think most doctors make it a point to instill calm in their patients. And, the nature of their work is that they have likely dealt with emergency situations and dying patients, so they have seen the worst and have to have a way to handle these things. So they are coming from a different position than you, perhaps (maybe, maybe not).

Symptom-wise, as far as I can tell, COVID-19 can be similar to the flu. Especially for most people, who may not have much in the way of symptoms. So your doctor isn't wrong per se. But yes, the deadliness of the virus is much higher, unfortunately. So it is not quite similar in intensity, and it is a serious thing.

Agree that it's a nice landing page. They mention importing data - so where is the privacy policy, export ability, delete my data if I want. This sounds like what I want but I'd like to pay you for the right to run my own stack for privacy. I just have no interest in exposing my entire life to another Corp. I grudgingly do it with Google but I'm trying to get away.
It looks like Google's offering one free cluster per billing account if I read that right. If that's not the case, I'll be turning off my cluster before this kicks in.
Why is this change coming in? I can hardly see costs on Google's side having increased to provision and 'manage' K8S having increased over the past 3 years, especially given that it's used in production there. Also, given that no-cost K8S clusters was pushed by your sales and marketing teams back in 2018 as a significant benefit for switching to GCP, it doesn't really inspire confidence in GCP if we're just going to be shafted further on down the line. Lastly, $0.1/hour is expensive given that a 'managed' k8s cluster can be rolled out using Terraform and Ansible with a bunch of GCE nodes with minimal effort. This frankly just feels like a cash grab for those that are either inexperienced/unfamiliar with cluster management/provisioning, or from those that are in too deep with GCP and won't have another option other than to pay the piper, so to speak.

> As of November 28, 2017, Google Kubernetes Engine no longer charges a flat fee per hour per cluster for cluster management, regardless of cluster size, as provided at https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/pricing. Accordingly, Google no longer offers a financially-backed service level agreement for the Google Kubernetes Engine service. The service availability of nodes in a Google Kubernetes Engine-managed cluster is covered by the Google Compute Engine SLA at https://cloud.google.com/compute/sla.

> Uptime for Google Kubernetes Engine is nevertheless highly important to Google, and Google has an internal goal to keep the monthly uptime percentage at 99.5% for the Kubernetes API server for zonal clusters and 99.95% for regional clusters regardless of the applicability of a financially-backed service level agreement.

Interesting that they're now walking back from this...
Shouldn't that be opt-in? The management control plane is not something we consider critical to operations. I'd happily accept if it was unavailable for 1 and a half minutes a day versus these additional costs.
I'm sorry to hear that. You can use namespaces and and separate node pools to isolate workloads. We'd love to hear more about your use case for having many small GKE clusters.
The guarantees for uptime with 99.5% for regional and 99.5% for zonal clusters seem pretty good. Is this above the average in terms of cloud providers?

Very good podcast about drowning: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-stuff-you-should-know-269...
It's still a very small number.

BTW most of the deaths caused by the flu are not direct deaths.

It kills about 10 thousands of people a year in Italy (58 millions residents) while covid-19 has killed only 59 people and recovery rate is very high

Meanwhile pneumonia alone in Italy kills 13 thousands people/year

The real difference?

With the regular flu people stay home and die there, with this one they are being taken to the hospitals, even if there are no symptoms, and the healthcare system is under a lot of pressure for that

Draconian measure are just for that: avoiding a total crash of the healthcare system
It's not acceptable to speak of, but marrying does chain you to a person. If they decide they don't like you any more, or just plain go crazy, they can easily drag you over the cliff, financially and in ways that are even more important.

Yes, you can break the chain, but not necessarily quickly enough to save yourself. A "successful" divorce requires a certain level of decency on both sides, and you won't truly know whether that's there until it's too late.

I hope for the best when people marry, but I also know a part of just how bad a bad case can be. And reading personal accounts on the Internet (and in the press), I'm aware that my experience is far from the worst.

It is normal behavior, yes. But it comes at the expense of the cheated on party. The term here is "parental investment" and is roughly how much energy a party has to invest in the offspring.

If the male tit builds the nest and provides food for offspring that is genetically not his it puts it at a disadvantage and it is definitely exploited by the female.

It's obvious they are just making shit up and referenced something unrelated (DSL deregulation) to make it seem legitimate. The person who wrote it probably knew it was a stretch. I don't see how this article is that interesting or will generate much interesting conversations here on HN.

This is politics baseless future-promises 101 stuff, just at a new completely not-giving-a-shit level. Which is only mildly interesting.

The question of whether the deregulation will do anything at all is still open to be seen. I've long said that tiered ISP pricing will never be a thing (ie, Comcast offering a "movies and social network package" vs a normal broadband monthly deal or mobile operators doing the same), regardless of lack of FCC protection, because it just doesn't make any sense as a business model or service, not to mention it would face a big industry backlash - an industry the whole arrangement relies on. But I got downvoted plenty before on HN early on by people who think we need it written down into law and enforced by FCC, regardless of its practicality, which I guess is fair.

But I still see very little (or almost zero) industry movement towards any of those scenarios people were claiming was going to happen a year or two ago during all the hysteria over the move to "deregulate" the FCC.

There was always far more in the way of those anti-net neutrality worst-case scenarios becoming reality than the FCC, IMO. The proposed scenarios only vaguely make sense in the developing world, not in the US, in places where you could bottom out pricing for access to networks, but it's already so cheap and established I don't see how any company could survive legitimately offering artificially limited internet access (beyond government protected oligopolies like we have here in Canada all agreeing to do it at the same time, which is again a huge stretch and nothing to do with the FCC).
No, the important distinction is that typically GC iterates over something (incurring a cost of O(N)), whereas the C++ case iterates over nothing (incurring a cost of O(1)).

But my original point was just that it's interesting that there is an extra step at all in the C++ case, where we tend to think of collection as happening "for free". It has a constant-time overhead, which is not the same as zero overhead.
That is terrible. If it is OK to ask... was there anything special about those circumstances, like was there a specific reason like he passed out first or got hit by something?

To be clear, I'm not saying we shouldn't worry. We should worry about the flu too. And if COVID19 is more dangerous, we should definitely look into it.

My statement applies across the board. It doesn't matter what the domain of the business is. Microservices cost more and have a higher impact on productivity and is only worth it if your engineering team needs the flexibility, at the cost of increase devops investment and more down time.
Each billing account gets 1 free zonal cluster so the cost for keeping a small cluster up won't change.
