Actually, we launched cost optimization when we realized most of our users required simple out of the box solution that will save on infrastructure provisioned by Microtica, they spend mostly EC2 and RDS compute resources. Because it is fully integrated, with couple of clicks they could start saving, no need for additional tools or custom solutions. But we realized it could work for any infrastructure.

We wanted to start with something. There are other aspects of cloud cost optimization like rightsizing, unused resources, use of spot and reserved instances that are as important as instance scheduling. As well as additional supported services you've mentioned that we are planning to support in the future.

The solution is fully serverless, the scheduling as you are already familiar, is based on triggers that initiate calling certain AWS APIs to manage state of the resources. On top of it, we added support for enabling/disabling the schedule, on-demand start/stop of resources in case somebody needs the environment immediately, auto-tagging, cost per schedule etc. all integrated in one solution.

There are tools similar to ours on the market that could solve more complex saving workflows but are also more complicated to manage and are pretty expensive.

If you are interested in how it works, feel free to try it out it's free. Any feedback is welcome.

The information in this thread is the final nail for me. I just uninstalled reddit from my phone and will delete my account when I get back to my PC.

How to stop that though? You'd basically have to include contract law as a gen ed or primary education course. Or some sort of, "Business/Professional Survival" course. Which then runs you into the problem of, who curated a truly representative sample of how businesses operate, and what their rhetorical agenda is in terms of what image or philosophy of business they fancy.

I don't think so. In 10 years, there will be no Trump in the office, and I doubt than even US based companies are ready to stake so much money on US government money continuing to come in 10 years term.

> Taiwan needs Americas protection and no other country

Their biggest defence against China is their mutual economic annihilation, along with most of world's light industry.

Remember, it was USA who made them loose their UN seat, and sabotaged their nuclear weapons program to keep them dependent, and let China into the WTO. Since at least Jiang Jingguo, Taiwan has been rather ambivalent with USA, and are wary of being set up

Trump is not the first to raise the point on this exact matter, in fact that was going back and forth at least since Bush Jr as I know.

Lastly, the biggest, and most obvious argument about your sentiment is that if American political establishment (with Trump, or without him) were truly serious about committing to confrontation with China, they should've started with barring US companies making business with Chinese multinationals, or at least obvious state companies.

Without seeing that first, you can be assured that US will not run into collision with China, or the politically connected big money in US would be first to run.

Because everything else is also more expensive in California.

Way higher taxes. Gas costs double. My car registration fees for two cars was over a thousand dollars. The houses you can get for a million dollars have 3 small bedrooms, dated interiors, and pathetic back yards. If you want to live in an area that's safe and has good schools, you really need to pay a huge premium. A friend of mine purchased a 3 bedroom house that's really nice, and his down payment was almost as much as a house in Ohio. I do love living here, but it isn't really a fair comparison when it comes to housing. The houses I am mentioning in Ohio have acre plots, and large rooms.

If someone was to make less money in Ohio than their counterpart in California, I would say their dollar would stretch more in housing. Right now, even though I make decent money, I still live with house mates. I park my cars on the street, and I've had to deal with numerous crimes (bikes stolen, car registration stickers stolen, someone stole my bike rack, etc.)

FWIW I'm not the kind of person to trash California. I think there are still a lot of merits to living here.
Really? Because it discusses the relevant legal standards and evidence, which you dismiss with a handwave. Also, it seems incongruous to complain of a "fanatic opinion blog" and then link to dailykos.

Yours truly grew up in a tiny town that is virtually unknown. Even there, Wal-Mart was not the only source of anything. This is competition, not "damage." People aren't being harmed--they're being made able to afford more stuff that they want.

I suppose it should not be surprising that a "kozmonaut" would be openly hostile to anything like a free market, but if you're going to throw around terms, you'll have to justify them. There's nothing I can't get from other sources than Wal-Mart, there are multiple competitors, several of which compete with them across all product lines, and so far the only harm you've identified is that they manage to be more efficient than some of their competition.

That's life. Capitalism forces people to find ways to be useful to others. Systems that allow too many free riders end up failing. See, e.g. Cambodia, Russia, North Korea, ...

There's all kinds of fun stuff you can learn, like apparently Instagram just ratcheted up the number of ads shown and people don't like it. You can see different text topics people mention, and select time ranges in the volume and rating over time charts to filter.

You can look at other iOS apps too, just by adding the app ID in the search params. This page shows DoorDash's reviews:

Ask HN: AWS DeepRacer as Summer Project?
Signing in to AWS, Amazon served me an add for AWS DeepRacer, a miniature computer-controlled car that runs models developed on AWS ML infrastructure. Seemed like it could be a fun summer family project to try different courses, different terrains, different goals. But I can't find much actual experience with it, and the new version of the car seems in limbo.

What do folks think? Are there better platforms for a family autonomous vehicle project? What has been fun for you?
>This is my big complaint about Hollywood, too: if they charged people after the movie, instead of before; and 100% of the base price went to the theatre itself, while people could "leave a tip" for the filmmakers; then "box office" would actually correlate to the quality of the movie itself, rather than to the amount of effort put into the marketing campaign.

I suspect that the "box office" would correlate with how wealthy the audience was (or at least felt like they were) just as much as the quality.

True, but you have to account for the chance of ruin. Once you go broke, you have to stop betting. Many traders will continue betting larger and larger amounts of money when they win, but stop betting if they lose big. Making risky bets is quite likely to make you go broke, especially if you scale the size of your bets with the size of your bankroll. The [Kelly Criterion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion) is the best way to approach it.

I think we're very far away from general-purpose self-driving that can drive in all locations, conditions, and handle all scenarios. But we don't necessarily need an all-or-nothing solution - I think we could be reasonably close to a self-driving system that can handle a whitelisted set of roads and highways, especially if those roads were augmented to accommodate that self-driving in some way.

Having a daughter. She is three weeks old.
Index funds have a deterministic algorithm to balance the portfolio. Hedge funds can predict this and always be slightly ahead. So whenever an index fund's algorithm says to buy more of something, a hedge fund probably bought it a fraction of a second ago and will now sell it to the index fund at a slightly higher price.

At least, version 1 of hedge funds did this to version 1 of index funds. It's now so complicated that all you can count on is the smartest, fastest-moving guys having a slight edge.
Thank you! The method really clicked in my head and the way I approach learning in general is close, so maybe that's why it's working so well for me.

Not sure how "overblown" the performance issue is. I rewrote two commercial Rails apps to Phoenix and had both versions of both apps run side by side for two months. The Phoenix apps consumed 7x-11x less RAM, accomodated 9x-10x more users on identical hosting instance, and had almost 10x quicker response time.

Phoenix is written in Elixir -- another dynamic language.

I am willing to argue with facts but you just added another non-factual opinion to the pile.

You just made me spend 5 minutes wondering if sundials would work on the equator, and if so, do they go counter-clockwise or clockwise during which parts of the year.

Also, a fun fact: even if you have a wall-mounted sun dial (which was common in the ancient era) it still moves clockwise in the northern hemisphere, even though noon would be near the bottom of the clock.
And they can afford to fund NRE costs that would be grossly uneconomic for most other (niche, non-mass market) applications. There aren't many industry sectors where that is the case.

My side project kind of escalated quickly into a main project. I've been working on my own browser for the last couple months, and decided that I can improve a lot when it comes to using the web for automating and acquiring knowledge (i.e. the semantic aspect of it).

Currently on the verge of founding a (possibly viable) startup with it, but the browser itself is totally alpha for now.

Been working on parsers and protocols for a while now, and had to switch to TDD to keep my sanity together. Needed to write my own test runner that can simulate network behaviours (2G slow fragmentation is real) and peer to peer scenarios. Most servers out there don't comply with specifications, so making my own client- or peer-side implementations work was a hard task.

Currently writing my own SGML parser and optimizer, so that the browser receives only "linted and upgraded" html that is free of malicious parts, whilst embracing the idea of disallowing everything that could be potentially misused, including CDNs that do cache busting all the time.

The idea behind the browser concept is that trust is not established by default, and users should decide what website to trust, and match that with what kind of content they'd expect the website to deliver.

This seems a) completely irrelevant to the topic, and b) almost completely irrelevant, full stop. Why is anyone supposed to care that a mod on /r/EarthPorn is also a mod on /r/Movies? Is /u/Cyxie pushing a sinister political agenda by selectively moderating which /r/DadJokes I can see? If I'm missing something, it would help if you or someone else could take the implicit and make it explicit. Spell out for me what this ominous warning is warning me about.

This user was trying to gin up an outrage campaign over something (which looks to me to be) pretty obviously benign. And since the outrage campaign called out five specific users, and he persisted in it after being told off, he was banned for harassment. None of this seems unusual.

Quite interesting that it fails to notice that Paypal et al seem to put the end user first, vs their customer (merchant), which makes customers push for merchants to accept paypal and eat costs or lose their business.

Admittedly, this is a bit simplistic, but credit card companies get that too: end users push bank's customers to eat the card company fees.

And as another example, the techy end-user base pushed for Google to become the default search engine down everyone's throats (I was part of the bandwagon too — what's not to like about bannerless, unbiased web index compared to Altavistas and Yahoos of the time and their "registries").

Paypal got huge help from integrating with eBay, where customers looked for merchants using it, until it became an obligatory payment method and was soon acquired by eBay.

The study didn't test for mathematical ability. It tested for numeracy which is completely different.

The study even shows that most of the variance(34%) is explained by fluid reasoning and working-memory. I'd wager that fluid reasoning is strongly correlated with mathematical ability.

In my opinion this paper disproves it's stated hypothesis but doesn't realize it.
