In 2014?

You'd be buying something like an EMC vMax that can sustain 1M+ IOPS on lots of 15K spinning drives, with caching tiers on crazy expensive flash.

To support that, you need a fibre channel network layer and a bunch of FTEs to attend to it. Usually compliance requirements require segmentation of roles, which increases cost. If you're a federal government entity, those FTEs are most likely contractors billed out at $125-300/hr. Figure $3-5M/year on labor costs alone, although that may be divided out over multiple systems.

This happens in commercial business too. I had a buddy who was making about $150k in NYC to zone luns on a SAN. Basically he kept a spreadsheet and updated a specific configuration setting 2-3x a day and spent about 60-90 minutes/day doing that. The rest was waiting or studying for his MBA.

It's pretty wacky to compare S3 to this type of storage.
Other people below are showing 6-8 GB on their systems, so it's lower than what I recall, but still higher than your figure I would normally bet. Are you only counting 1.6 once?

Not even close. I think everyone knows things will get worse, but at this point there are too many unknowns to quantify that. The market will remain stable for a few days, but there will continually be more data that will cause the market to continue to drop.

We still haven't seen any country match China as far as total cases. Once Italy gets to 80k and then 160k 4 days later a new wave of anxiety will pass through people.
They could still throttle the TCP stream, and many do. Then the player will likely switch to a lower quality video to adapt to the bandwidth.
I think the idea is it comes pre-prepared for people who cannot spawn an environment from scratch on AWS or any other cloud provider for their purpose

I tend to see it in the same light. I think just in time and inventory not sitting on shelves has a lot to do with it. There is no buffer to soften the shock anymore. Things are made, and shipped as the demand is happening or as close to that point as possible. This happens all the way down the chain. Critical goods should have a mandatory back-supply.
Love this, still holds a special place for me, we have a long way to go yet.

Interesting. The McDonald's thing is sort of like saying that no two Soviet Socialist Republics have ever gone to war. It just means they aren't really sovereign independent countries acting on their own behalf.
Tim Cook is was hailed as a supply chain guru. But even he likely didn’t weigh pandemics high up on the concern list enough to have supply chain redundancy. For what appears to be a 1/100 year event I’m not sure it would make sense for most companies anyway.
what about demand side of things?
If you test on antigen that matches the virus, then that will return a negative result in the very beginning of infection and after recovery.

If you want accurate numbers for statistics, including people who never had symptoms, you can do antibody testing on a random sample of population, that will indicate people who had the disease - but that's kind of too late for that particular location and those particular patients, that's for epidemiological studies and helping other locations. I recall reading about one such study for Covid, but I don't remember which country did it.
We're working on it right now :) we plan to announce it in the coming weeks. Glad to see it makes sense to other people as well.
No, no, no. It's a serverless personal computer.
What recession? Market is dropping 1-2 times faster than it did in 1928. The entire economy is about to shut down for two months - the world over. Treasury Secretary predicting up to 20% unemployment, and I bet they were being conservative to prevent even more of a panic, because in the last 20s we also had 20% unemployment.

This isn't a recession. It's a depression. The US is about to experience true hardship for the first time in decades.
Then just don't mention you have trouble sleeping, as it's not their business, right?
...and from what I understand, they actually use it on some of their sites.
Hamilton are also facing problems supply chain problems. The last thing I read about them a few days ago (in the Swiss press) was that Romania had stopped exporting a component they needed because they didn't seem to understand it wasn't a "medical device" but only a component for one. I assume that got resolved quite quickly.

It also sounds like many patients don't need a full hospital ventilator. A CPAP machine could do. Those are already made in bulk for sleep apnea patients.
The lack of sanitary standards in everyday life has always been shocking to me whenever I've visited China to be honest. People often spit on the streets and cough and sneeze without covering their faces, even in the big modern cities.

Someone even vomited on my shoe in a subway station once and then just walked away without even acknowledging that they did it. I'm really not surprised that these diseases show a tendency to start in China.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan it's rather different - hand sanitizer is readily available and people actually wash their hands after using the restroom, etc.

Even in surrounding (and much poorer) South East Asian nations people seem to be much better at maintaining a better level of general hygiene.

To be fair AWS does offer that https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/pricing/?nc=sn&loc=3. But, Vagon is somehow cheaper than AWS, which I almost never see.

It's also just a disturbing use of language. Human beings are social creatures and derive a ton of benefit from our relationships with other people. If anything we should all be coming together socially to support each other through a difficult time, while trying to maintain an appropriate physical distance from one another.
I play Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled with my kids. I have calculated that you can spend only about 3/4 of the time actually playing the game if you don't play the same map every time, 1/4 is necessarily wasted looking at various loading screens. Pretty disappointing for a relatively simple game.
Huh, TIL. The data center is not listed in the list of peering partners, but it's probably an appliance like the other user mentioned.
I thought it was clear that "laws" are out of the window everywhere now.
I cannot express how reassuring your words are, and how happy I am to hear them. Thank you very much!

Well; it turns out that I can: just made a donation.
This is highly biased opinion piece. I like BSD. I liked pre-Oracle Solaris. And I like Linux at lot too.

And it is factually inaccurate. Deprecation of ifconfig is a distro issue. "Linux" did not deprecate it. And the reason is that it was unmaintained, not that it couldn't handle multiple IP addresses. In fact it can, I still use it 50% of the time. Works fine for setting and displaying multiple addresses.

The Debian maintainers wanted to drop it, and the other distros all followed suit a couple years later. Good information and links here:

https://serverfault.com/questions/633087/where-is-the-statem...

"Linux maintains known bugs – and actively refuses to fix them. In fact, if you attempt to fix them, Linus will curse at you, as manifest by this email."

That is a bold statement but is not at all supported by the linked email. You'll see Linus cursing at a bad patch that would break something in userland, not for "maintaining a bug". He's preventing at least two bugs (unnecessary change to behavior and ENOENT is indeed the wrong return value). I think I liked the old Linus better...

So it's a shame. I'd love to read a series about BSD, but this is really just inaccurate propaganda.
And the edge of that coin is: once we're past this crisis, the same market forces that created this peril will start cutting the redundancies from the survivors, setting us up for the next crisis couple decades down the line.

> There is nothing more frustrating than solving pointless puzzle after pointless puzzle. Each puzzle solved should bring the player closer to understanding the story and game.

A friend of mine was recently complaining about how adventure games and even rpgs (in both video and board game formats) lack significant character development, even the best ones with great worlds and stories. I don't personally have enough experience to have an opinion, but I thought it was interesting that the relevant guideline here shows exactly that: it mentions "story" but not "character". (I'm not sure what is meant here by "game"). Maybe my friend is not wrong.
YES. That's the one. Thanks.

In the context of Tailwind though, the situation isn't really "that".

Tailwind allows you to "feel" like you're just quickly prototyping, without afaict compromising maintainability at all.

If you're concerned about the ability to reuse an HTML fragment and associated styles (or just a bunch of styles), they have decent docs on that: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components/
Is that entirely true, though? At least some folks are losing their jobs, and at least some businesses are not able remain solvent. The effects from these events can't simply be reverted once the emergency is "done" (if we can even hope to be able to use the term "done" at some point), and it seems like they will almost certainly have at least some long-term negative impact. "How much" and "how long" remains to be seen.
This is not serverless. If you're specifying specific units of compute that is traditional cloud computing.
This name really isn't the greatest.
It's too early to evaluate the tracing approach. The problem is what happens when other people come in from the outside. This is now a major problem in Beijing; not internal transmission but cases brought by arrivals.
Certain sectors of the US economy (mining, agriculture, manufacturing) have already been in and out of recessions for a few years now. These sector recessions have largely been hidden from the public because the banking sector is so much larger and has growth that outpaces the losses from the other sectors. So when you look at total GDP, the US economy was growing. But when you break GDP down into specific industries, you'll see that many of them have been struggling for a few years.

The US BEA website has some great tools for exploring industry-specific economic output.

Everyone wants to blame COVID-19 for the economic mess that's unfolding. But in reality, the trade war we went through with China hurt sectors of the American economy a lot. The country has been in a precarious position throughout 2018. It was just overlooked due to the performance of the financial industry, which is now beginning to wane.

Edit: not => now
20,000IU in a day, only twice a week? Sounds really strange. To everyone else, don't follow this advice without a doctor prescribing it.

There are regulatory and IP issues to consider as well. Redundancy is not necessarily as straightforward as it seems.
That arbitrary separation never made sense, when HTML always harbored presentation information. From controlling the cascading of styles to spatial layout, your HTML and CSS are tied.

The separation of concern that actually makes sense, and on which we ended up, is structured data (JSON) piped into a presentation layer (SPA lib like React). That's what XML tried to do before it became gimped as HTML.
Yes, it is glued together, suction cups are no longer sufficient to remove the display. To service the current gen iMacs, you have to cut away the glue and afterwards re-glue the machine. My dealer charged me about $300 labor cost for a HD replacement due to this.
After a little more than a decade away from video games, I'm finding myself really enjoying 1st person horror games with no combat element: Soma, Amnesia: Dark Descent, and Outlast. This didn't really exist before, at least not games that were so immersive and terrifying.

Soma is especially great. It's utterly scary, it's beautiful to explore (per my taste), and the way the story unfolds really pulled me in.

SubNautica somewhat qualifies if you have a hint of thalassophobia. There is a very small combat element that you can entirely ignore.

Most other games bore my adult self as well, but the above are so compelling that I only play them in the right conditions so that I really enjoy them: alone at night with headphones.
Encoding page layout in text is a bad idea, and CSS is a bad implementation of that idea.

What could be better, you ask? Open up Google Slides. You can make a slide that looks the way you want it. The learning curve is nonexistent. Then you can share it online and it will look okay to anyone on any size screen. There's no reason why building websites should be a hundred times harder than that.
What have you found? (Omitting any details that would be confidential of course)
Why can't companies provide paid support for open source software? I believe lot of open source products work on that model, including Linux. The bad thing with proprietary software is not many students and researchers from developing countries cannot afford it as the pricing is always based on developed economies scale. But if it's open source, every one can use it and more affluent researchers can get the paid support so they don't need to hunt through thousands of lines of code or fix bug themselves.
Do you have any reason to believe that all those that qualify haven’t applied?
> ideal labor matching.

The system is NOT designed for ideal labor matching.

Not unlike the Test.

The job-seeker (applicant) and Employer are working at cross-purposes.

Incidentally, many Hiring Executives understand this problem.

And are often open to dialoguing with people trying to circumvent the HR black hole.

Manage or Be Managed is the proposition.

Either hunt for work (people you can help)

or passively hope someone will notice you.
Fun fact: Rand Paul today is calling undocumented persons requesting COVID-19 assistance "non-persons."

Recession is a weak word for this pandemonium that we are experiencing. We need to coin a new word for this.
Well we are talking about the Mini vs. a laptop, so entirely different devices. There is no trim level of the Mini with a reasonable graphics chip.
SARS in 2003 and H1N1 in 2011(?) - in the age of increasing globalization and population it seems like odds of this are increasing, we have skirted and now had pandemics more than 1 in 100 years.
I agree that they may have to stop short-term money making, however I think the opportunity is to convince them that the more damage this virus does to the world, the more damage it does to their market, and therefore to their long-term financial interests. Plus, there could be tremendous goodwill gained by deciding to join the efforts to save people's lives—that alone could guarantee them customers for life. Lastly, I understand that the big 3 automotive companies are shutting down their production of cars right now anyway, so the factories will likely sit idle.
This isn't about adjusting content filters, it's actually banning tweets. Users are forced to remove them.

Looking for Volunteers to Build Covid19 App
I'm looking for volunteers to help build a COVID19 App. Any help would be awesome including, legal, design, project management, engineering, systems and funding.

Version 1 (web app):

1. Sign up with email and invite friends via email.
2. Each day, poll users (through email) for symptoms:
- ask people to take poll:
- Do they have a fever?
- Experiencing shortness of breath?
- Do they have a cough?
- Other flu like symptoms
3. If they have any of those symptoms email their friends and provide Government recommended advice
4. Ideally in the future, connect the user with a test

V2 native app:

1. Allow businesses to print out a unique barcode
2. Users would scan those barcodes when they enter a place
3. If a person reports COVID symptoms who visited the business, email the business, and others who visited the business after that person
China's official stance is that virus was developed by CIA and brought to Wuhan by US military [1]. So they'll have to reopen wet markets or else be seen as admitting that the virus actually originated in one of them in China rather than in a CIA lab.

In addition, my understanding is that while Shakespeare was well regarded during his life, he wasn't particularly held in much higher regard than many of his contemporaries. The excessive elevation of Shakespeare (Bardolatry) seems to have been a process that occurred over decades and centuries.

It's gotten to the point where it's hard to have a unbiased opinion. People aren't given a copy of King Lear and Tamburlaine and asked which one they prefer. People are usually told ahead of time that Shakespeare plays are wonderful works, that viewing them as wonderful is a sign of intelligence, and people are usually exposed to many plays by Shakespeare and none by his contemporaries.

Our society probably has a much larger impact on how we view these works than the works themselves.

Very exciting, hope more research validates these results asap
How has this not been painfully obvious to everyone in the world for weeks? I really don't understand why it is taking so long for people to accept this.
Nice interface and very easy to set up, it's great I could get to try it without entering any payment methods.

I actually need a Linux machine (for GIS with QGIS), it would be nice to get other OS options aside from Windows. I also wanted to sync my Dropbox folders but stopped short of typing my password in the VM after installing the Dropbox client, as I have no idea what kind of security you are using.

Something else, I had it in fullscreen mode on Firefox, but then every time I went back to my guest OS it triggered a resize of the guest, which was kind of annoying. Maybe it would be good to choose whether I want a scaled view.
Wow, published in 1909. Amazing how old (and wrong) this "economic mutually assured destruction" argument is.

I think it's popular today as a distraction from the fact that the American Empire is really held together by military occupations in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America etc. and not economic ties. Obviously "we just want to make you rich" is much nicer sounding than "we will bomb you if you resist US hegemony".
How soon until we find out the EU was nudged to do this by ISPs that can't handle the network load and want to push blame? I mean, everyone knows that Netflix already uses available bandwidth measuring to adjust bitrate/quality.
It's called Android
that is strange that they put it to sleep like that. I wonder what the reason is and if there is an actual supported way to prevent this and use it like a regular VM?

Military trucks take coffins out of Bergamo
> The self-referential nature of this interesting argument

Self-referential symbolic statements are at the core of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.
This social responsibility argument is vague and will stay there, because the flu still kills many people, so why are we letting so many people die instead of locking down? Why don't we lock down the schools for the flu to protect those who have immune weaknesses? Where's the moral line or set of criteria for when people's deaths are treated as routine numbers?

When economies shut down, at some point people will also start dying and suffering. Is there a quantification for that? How do we trade those lives with other lives? Do we have a morally clear picture of who we're trading for whom?

To be more precise, the good chunk of youtube goes to the Google Global Cache, which is a set of physical hardware deployed on an ISP's premises: https://support.google.com/interconnect/answer/9058809?hl=en

Spreading supply chains across multiple countries to achieve redundancy and avoid single points of failure would make them more global, not less.

I agree it's a good idea but we should be clear that we are talking about making things more global and more interdependent.

We should also avoid the impression that everyone depends entirely on China -- a lot of big companies already have global supply chains with some redundancy.

In any case, global supply chains can't withstand a global pandemic that is causing business to slow down in every major country in the world.
In theory, the exponential growth rate of the virus doesn't depend on the population size. It more strongly depends on the population structure - i.e. the average number of social contacts made in a day.
