I'm slowly coming to the complete opposite opinion you seem to have.

I've worked almost entirely for companies that run services in various cloud infrastructures - Azure/Heroku/Aws/GCP/Other.

I recently started a tiny 1 man dev shop in my spare time. Given my experience with cloud services it seemed like a no brainer to throw something up in the cloud and run with it.

Except after a few months I realized I'm in an industry that's not going to see drastic and unplanned demand (I'm not selling ads, and I don't need to drive eyeballs to my site to generate revenue).

So while in theory the scaling aspect of the cloud sounds nice, the reality was simple - I was overpaying for EVERYTHING.

I reduced costs by nearly 90% by throwing several of my old personal machines at the problem and hosting things myself.

So long story short - Cost. I'm happy to exchange some scaling and some uptime in favor of cutting costs. Backups are still offsite, so if my place burns I'm just out on uptime. The product supports offline, so while no one is thrilled if I lose power, my customers can still use the product.

Basically - cost, Cost, COST. I have sunk costs in old hardware, it's dumb to rent an asset I already own.

There might well be a point when I scale into a point where the cloud makes sense. That day is not today.
This is what happens to every charged label.

1. People realize the label is powerful.

2. They begin applying the label to as many things they don't like as they can get away with.

3. This changes the definition of the label, causing it to become some blanket umbrella term.

4. The label loses its power, because it now describes many lukewarm behaviors instead of just the worst offenses.

For example, it's popular nowadays to say "everyone is racist." Well, if everyone is racist, is being labeled a racist really that bad? Not compared to what it used to imply about you.

My UberEats experience in west Los Angeles during quarantine has been perfect. When traffic is bad there are more delivery problems (and customer service is truly the worst ever) but recently it's been amazing.

Fees are about to be a big issue though -- to the end user UberEats is a full $2.99 more expensive than Postmates for < $15 subtotal orders. I don't know if that means Postmates is taking an extra $2.99 from the restaurant for those orders.

Either way though, the % of restaurants' orders going through delivery services surely just went up dramatically so those fees are now going to make a bigger impact, I'm sure we'll see the ecosystem change soon.
Heard this suggested a few times but what is the source?
Yet another case of mistaking principles for rules. Principles are guides, you go outside of them when you are experienced enough to know why they set the boundaries where they do.

Rules are inflexible. This makes them simpler, and inferior for guiding people.

> 3. There's a higher-level agent still—again, still one per motor!—responsible for stopping at stations, which does this by biasing the collision agent to temporarily think there's another train just far-enough away that it must stop where the station is in order to avoid it.

This sounds clever in the worst sense of the word. Introducing dependencies and complexities for no reason. Want to increase safety margins from trains? Suddenly it doesn't stop correctly at stations any more.
How many of those people would normally be walking in malls, stadiums or even gyms?

Except, the problem, is that the China Hustle displayed AliBaba in a bad shape and I doubt the guys were short the NYSE:BABA stock. The film was slightly hinting that you should be shorting or offloading your BABA stock.

But what happened since? The film was released in 2017 (BABA around ~90) and now the stock is trading around ~195.

So if you offloaded your stock, you'll have lost on some nice gains. It's worse if you have shorted: It'd have been a real hustle and it's not clear when the stock will correct.
No, it's entirely avoidable. I'm referring to unnecessary deaths from COVID-19, which, as we've seen here in California, and the Bay Area specifically, have not hit numbers suggested by initial models because we implemented shelter in place.

I don't see anything more to your argument than what the woman standing with a sign saying "I want a haircut" is saying. Your attitude is dangerous. People will die unnecessarily if state leaders do as you suggest. This is what the modeling says, and you have offered nothing to suggest otherwise.

Devil's advocate: you could always not run those apps. Although for non-technical users it would be challenging to determine if the apps were transmitting that info, it's possible for technical users to detect it (assuming the info goes to an obviously-facebook url and isn't piped through e.g. spotify)

Additionally I don't think there is anything wrong with client-side analytics in general since it's basically the only way to monitor performance/usage in production. And this type of thing is hard to discern from the more benign case

Yeah, shaming is counterproductive. But I have to disagree with one of your points: changing social norms.

Changing social norms can be have huge benefits. Very timely example is that social norms are likely a major reason so many Asian countries have much lower Covid-19 infection rates than western countries. If only Americans could get over themselves and stop shaking hands and wearing their shoes in the house. I say that as an American expat.

Awesome seeing you here! I used to be super active on Hypixel when I was in high school (I was actually #1 on the leaderboards for one of the games for over a year).

This is a _fantastic_ book. If anyone's worried it's too technical, I'd say that it's not as dry as it might look at first glance. There's lots of practical advice and there's actually not that much heavy maths.

For the average user out there, the fact is, most people only care about privacy when there's a breach/outage/scandal of some kind. Otherwise, the average person is not going to have "zomg fb is spyware" on their mind.

If apps start charging money, there would be a significant drop in the # of average user installs. Then the app would only make money off of privacy focused users, which is comparatively small.
Basically all cars monitor battery voltage. Many models even have a dashboard gauge for it. But what is that information useful for, other than diagnostics? Why give it dashboard real estate? Besides, you can always pop open the hood and check the battery with a $12 multimeter.

This viewpoint is bizarre to me.

I get that it's difficult to reliably deliver food from restaurant to apartment in a time which is short enough that the food is still hot (or still frozen, or whatever). But I notice that some restaurants from which I order on Seamless are always correct, always hot, and typically delivered within 20-25 minutes. Others are hit or miss with some or all of those considerations. If some restaurants always get this right, it's hard to imagine that the fault lies with Seamless or gambling.

This looks a lot like the Microsoft Teams app. But Maybe it was the name that didn't catch on. I could see this being used for small class room settings. Not just for coding but for other things. I think if you had other examples of it being used that it would be more helpful for someone to understand whats going on with it.

Congrats! A really polished product. We are using it day to day now. Integration between issues/builds/code is really a thoughtful piece of work.
I've taken a slightly similar approach:

If the information won't affect my behavior/actions, I choose not to invest time into it.

This allows for me peruse headlines to be aware of what's happening (and to consider looking further into something), but keeps me uninvested enough to avoid becoming emotionally consumed by things I won't be taking some action toward/against.

>It's difficult to argue about whether it's "surreptitious." It's certainly no secret. I think this is why you need organizations (perhaps government or otherwise) to establish standards for what is and isn't acceptable, so we don't have to quibble over words like "surreptitiously."

It is a secret, though. Outside of you, me, and a few other folks like ourselves, users of this software have no idea what's going on behind the curtains. There is no overt disclosure to the user explaining the myriad communication exchange, occurring on a nearly constant basis, between their device and some remote server(s); much less giving the user a say in the matter.

Stating the use of the word "surreptitious" (to act in a clandestine manner; exactly how these communications are executed) amounts to a mere quibble is disingenuous.
> I'm not sure what the big deal is in calling if I'm just calling in to order a pizza or a sub.

Because the dude answering the phone has a non-zero probability of being completely stoned off his ass. This is not theoretical. I am sad that we didn't record the worst one we ever had--it would have made for the absolute best YouTube video even though everyone would have been saying "That's so fake."

Phone orders are very error prone. Online orders help both sides of the equation. The customer knows exactly what they are getting and can verify it; the restaurant can say "We're happy to comp you for X because we're nice people, BUT this is the receipt THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGED saying what you actually ordered."

Yeah, it seems like it might make more sense if they could figure out a way to use the RF fields to actually accelerate some of the ions in the plasma. Then you might be able to reach much higher exhaust velocities than with a conventional jet engine. I don't think your thermodynamic objections would apply to that case since the energy would remain organized, it wouldn't just be heat.

To do that though you'd need to find a way to maintain overall electrical neutrality.
Thanks for the nice words. Glad to see it is useful for you.
Lightsail works well now. It's a little over three years old. In the first year or so after it was released, they were notorious for being slow in most regards compared to their peers (it launched using rebranded instances from AWS, and used spinning disks, going up against SSDs their competitors were all using). They've largely caught up on performance with DigitalOcean, Linode, Vultr and similar.

That said, I've stuck with DigitalOcean even though Lightsail tests fine. I've had a great experience over the years with DO and see no reason to leave.

The Facebook SDK does make some calls on init.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/app-events/gdpr-complia...

From them: "The Facebook SDK automatically initializes when the app is opened. When the SDK is initializing, it fetches app settings from Facebook. If you want to block all network requests to Facebook, you can disable automatic initialization." If you want to turn it off, you're supposed to set in your app's plist <key>FacebookAutoInitEnabled</key><false/>.

If people are claiming that the SDK is still fetching despite adding that key, that could be breaking some compliance and consent laws...

Computation over Petabytes of data sounds fairly expensive, jobs that I was running over close to a PB could cost hundreds of dollars. Am I misremembering, doing it wrong, or underestimating your teams’s cloud budget?
Umm, most workloads aren't so compute intense that cpu interconnect speed would have a huge impact. The vast majority of rented computer tasks will be for things that need to communicate with external services (payments, region synchronizing, general api state comms, etc). In these cases, I doubt that your code is tuned tightly enough to reveal interconnect latency (as opposed to cache misses and swaps). Besides, hooking up interconnect runs gets ludicrously complicated and expensive fast. Like, $50k in cables and a week of experimenting with numa zones and kernel settings for a small cluster. I can only imagine the headaches of orchestration on national lab clusters.

Source: I have set up, and currently manage a small cluster which is always pegged. I also collaborate with folks at a couple of the national labs for scientific research.

If you have a lot of data but not a lot of users, it's prohibitively expensive to pay monthly hosting and network egress fees when you can buy cheap hard drives, use ZFS, and whatever server protocol you desire.
> Yes - "Survival of the fittest"

Are you suggesting that people who have the ability to isolate themselves at home while still earning a living are somehow "fitter"? As I suggested before, your argument as a whole amounts to nothing more than the woman who waves the sign saying "I want a haircut". Is your life more important than your barber or stylist's? If not, why are you asking them to risk it for you?
Exactly... The article over complicated the question to make it looks like rocket science.

I don't understand why someone would write a such a confusing article, rule of thumb is just first get the actual capacity initialized, then multiple it with the load factor.

I am mainly a Windows guy, and just realized that SSH access is so important to some users. We are always listening. Let me know if you have any other thoughts.
I don't feel it's irrelevant. The fact is that the characters depicted in the artwork you're proposing could be ripped off belong to individuals. People like you and me. People with whom I'm personally good friends, with whom I have shared beers with at conferences, and whom I have visited en route on my trips to far-flung places.

These are characters that are recognizable as being digital representations of those individuals. They aren't the trademarks or personality rights of some faceless commercial entity.

My point is that trying to use artwork depicting a non-commercial character that isn't yours—that doesn't accurately reflect the representation of your digital self but instead someone else's—is as taboo as impersonation. It isn't tolerated, and that kind of behavior is ripe for gossip.

So, yes, while there's a wealth of source material that's ripe for cropping into a profile picture, there's the added hurdle of overcoming the bullshit detectors of furries who will test you to see if you're actually their friend or not.
That might be because none of these companies are operating in the real world while Uber, Lyft and AirBnB do.

The nice thing about the "linear" spaces on MacOS and Windows is that in the vast majority of cases there's a 1:1 mapping between the pixels on the screen and the UI elements.

What makes me nervous is when they start making the pointer space non-linear. Is there a risk that you just can't get the cursor to activate a part of the screen because it keeps getting sucked into a nearby control? Or is the pointer space just a reversibly-warped version of the screen space?
