Well if you have your bills and a prospect of how much building and operating a datacenter would be, it could be very easy to do the calculation.

Btw one should not dismiss so easily the work of datacenter companies. They often have very high security standards and practices.

And this means that you don't necessarily have to build a datacenter from the ground up. You can start saving by just renting one or two rack cabinets and start putting your own hardware in there.

Interesting summary of the case in the article below.

The two key points were:

- Arms Length principal

A big part of the Commission's case against Apple was that the agreements violated "the Arm’s Length Principle", which the OECD frames as we should reject transfer-prices that would not be agreed by independent companies negotiating at arm’s length. Apple and Ireland argued that this was not part of Irish Tax law, or EU legislation, rather a non-binding principal of tax reform.

- Where should IP profits fall

Apple argued that a large proportion of the value it created was derived from IP developed in the US.

To me it does seem that European Commission was stretching State Aid beyond what it was designed for here. There is an definitely a challenge in harmonising tax of multinationals, and preventing 'races to the bottom' but this is different to State Aid legislation, designed to prevent the propping up of inefficient domestic champions with favourable treatment.

I think that also stems from shell using the stdout as data transfer for both humans and machines at the same time, and people expect to be able to pipe the output into another process for further processing. Extra text intermittently added would make this far less repeatable and lots of extra lines to filter away before processing.

Sure, you've got stderr, but most terminals will print these in the same way so a user doesn't know what is output and what is error really.

Goes to show how bad such tools are for automation really.
It's even sadder for other european countries losing taxe revenues which could be used to fund educational, health and anti-poverty programs.

WLTP spec ranges favors city driving, in which Tesla has an edge because of the really aggressive recuperation braking. It also factors in highway driving at 90km/h IIRC, which no normal human being drives at. Highway it's actually not anywhere "light-years ahead" from other serious EV attempts like Taycan which does similar Autobahn range with wider tires than a model S.
Love the name. Simple, and is going to be pretty hard for society to attach negative connotations to it.

Elements are the flexible foundation of everything and in turn Element can be a flexible foundation for communication.

At the end of the day it boils down to getting control of a namespace and then owning it over time.

Slack and Apple have clearly shown this works just fine.

Maybe you know that specifically your mum was a fun and interesting person before having kids, but I think its important to keep in mind that some people are just boring.

Not to say having kids is ever super easy but there are definitely people that live a pretty kid friendly lifestyle without them.

It's important to keep this in mind because we do tend to place weight on others deciding to do something. It's why companies like to slap their logo on everything. If my friends were jumping off a bridge I absolutely would consider following them. I like to think one would stop to briefly inform me of whatever horror they're running from but absent that yeah I'd be pretty tempted to follow suit.

So we see all of these people having kids and think "the sacrifice must be worth it" but so many of those people would have been working standards 9-5's and pairing up to go live in the same suburb for the rest of their life where they'll wear clothes in the house and barely even walk each other on leashes anyway. They didn't have to give up their hobbies and dreams. If you do, you're facing a different equation than they did.

If you never help the elderly now, how can you expect anything else than lonliness when you are in their place?

One of the most tragic results of the "modern" American life is that we throw away are elderly as obsolete while any other sane societies treates them as the holders of wisdom.
True, but then the "worker" fib() method should be called fib_calculate() and should be wrapped by fib() which then returns a single integer. I believe that breaks the spirit of the question.

Someone clearly hasn't seen what a healthy lifestyle can do for you: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/japan/articles/why-japans-ok...

It's common to equate old age with nursing homes and misery in the West.

Other cultures show that this needn't be the case at all and is - for the most part; there's still about 30% genetics involved - dependent on how you chose to spend your days. Less Netflix, Facebook, and convenience food, more exercise and healthy, non-processed food can get you much further than a billion dollars and medical personnel...
Which is partly true. Those children will also grow up and pay taxes and contribute to companies which in turn fund the retirement accounts of the elderly community.
Musk isn't some young kid but a 49 year old. 2 years ago he baselessly accused a rescue diver as a pedophile and doubled down on it in court. For some reason, I doubt Steve Jobs would have done that. I don't know what "kind of personality" this is but if you have that kind of personality (CEO or not), yes, stay away from Twitter and all social media. Though that wouldn't be your biggest problem anyways.
Terrible idea, it would break that person's use case.

I'm not so sure. Maintaining and building an empire are dramatically different.

Companies that could build and not maintain: Lotus, Digital Research, Palm, Netscape, MySpace, Digg, Blackberry, Ashton Tate, it's a different set of skills. Heck, you can even toss the French Jacobins in there

They all shot themselves in the foot, I know, that's the point. Not having their eye on the ball and instead looking over the horizon is what built the empire, but then the ball hit their nose

Some people can do both (gates, zuck, bezos), but once you're at the Apple/Microsoft stage, you need the second group.

That is something fundamental essentially for better or worse - it is their right. Even if their objections are stupid or morally wrong they have real impacts they have to be conscious of.

Not having it would effectively render markets mutually exclusive as the terms are "do something which would cause a shitstorm here" like saying they can't take down a Zwarte Pete face swap app. The law prohibiting it would turn it into an international incident as a "EU demands a right to profit from blackface" scandal and nobody wins.

Not necessarily true.

In the health insurance industry, for example, many insurance portals offer one account that has to be used by a team. And, in a team scenario where all staff need access to all third party vendor accounts, it can be simpler to share the one password rather than manage 10.

For on site systems under a company's control, they can enforce the policies. But third party resources are where the limitations are. It's not the company that's minimal on security hygiene, it's the non-tech vendor in many cases.

Yes, in my personal experience. However, I suspect my body is just desperate to hold on to carbs and pack those bastards around my liver anyway, regardless of previous Keto periods or not. When I stick to Keto, I feel better, think better, poop better, I don't get headaches and I don't have acne. Is it magic? I dunno. The chemistry seems to support it.

Years ago we called it Atkins (yes, I am older) and it worked great for me, but chips and salsa are my kryptonite. Unfortunately, as I age, I must rely more and more on my diet for control
I am not but a humble nerd who now sits behind a glowing screen toiling away as a PHB, but I can offer this: Keto works for me and I would recommend it to anyone.

Kind of. From a brief look, it looks very framework-y and all-or-nothing (though I could be wrong, they do have a page about gradual adoption at least https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/adopting/).

I was picturing something more low level and less opinionated, though I can only guess how such a thing would perform in practice.

Not even necessarily a specific product, just the adoption of workflows that use already existing tools (e.g. the various API client libraries - for AWS, Kubernetes, git, docker registry, etc.) to achieve this. I realize that that could lead to reinventing the wheel, and eventually an in-house framework anyway, but it feels a lot more comfortable to start there, as you can design things closer to your exact needs.

Pulumi definitely looks interesting though.
The problem with CO2 certificates is that they aren't backed by anything. We had no priceable scalable means of removing CO2 from the atmosphere so those prices are arbitrary.

If people were serious about using markets solve this problem the price of CO2 credits would reflect what it actually takes to remove that much CO2 from the atmosphere and they would be much more expensive. There would be companies forming just to get those credits and trying to undercut one another looking for more efficient ways to sequester CO2 permanently.

But we can't because it would drive up the price of gas and with it everything else in the economy. People would blame other countries for cheating and the Illumiati for taking their jobs. Then politicians would lose their seats and the work they did would be reversed.

There should be a fourth level where they use the closed form solution to get to the solution they want without any recursion or looping for reasonable values of N. Maybe even a fifth level using the O(log(N)) matrix exponentiation method.
Whatsapp has caught on to the point of utter market dominance in places where most people speak very little to no English. Without being aware of "what's up", there's no connection to communication at all. Still worked out well for them.

There's no connection between Amazon's brand and what they do, and yet Amazon Inc doesn't seem to suffer, and I don't think Apache Kafka is self-explanatory to just about anyone. Or Sprite (the beverage), and who really gets the name Pepsi? What meaning does Facebook have for anyone outside the US education system? I'm not from the US and I have only an extremely vague idea. No idea about the etymology of Ikea. Slack has actually been a tough sale in more conservative organisations before it got so hugely popular, probably in part because of the negative connotations the name carries – who wants to put their name underneath spending lots on a tool nobody knows, but that's named "Slack"? – and while I don't have a very large set of anecdata for this, I believe the same is true for Riot, maybe to a lesser degree because of the Matrix brand.

It's not catchy, I agree, more like – bland? I think that's fine, it doesn't have to beat Slack on controversial naming. Matrix could become absolutely huge by being adopted in large EU organizations and orgs elsewhere worried about exposing all their communication to the US, so being a bit bland is a feature, much like MS Teams, which must have people in charge of making the product as boring as possible, but it's making inroads into close to all large orgs over here that I'm aware of, and being deeply uncontroversial is certainly part of the reason why.

Plus, for catchiness, there's always Matrix, and I actually like the Element-of-a-Matrix jeux-des-mots.
I've started doing this too. The director of the company I work at is non-technical and will semi-regularly come to us expecting that we can build a competitor to Product XYZ in 6 months.

Pointing out that Product XYZ has 3000 employees and has been carving out a niche since 1995, while there are six of us with no knowledge of that market, is usually the only thing that gets him to accept that just because he understands what something does, it doesn't mean he understands what it takes to build it.
Consider, then, that your experience might be limited in ways that you're unable to see due to that experience-bias.

This is the one thing people seem to forget; people who work in places like nursing homes rarely do so because they have a dream of wiping old people's asses for a living. Instead, they do it because they need the money.

In a society where there are plenty of other well-paying jobs to be had, working at a nursing home won't be the popular choice. I expect the future to be interesting.

I'd also like to add that because of this I adapted the traditional whiteboarding exercise at my current company to be about problem solving and design, and not about how many data structures you've memorized.

When a candidate comes in, I give them a fake-yet-realistic product requirement (like count elements in a real-time stream from field sensors) and let them run with it however they see fit. I put zero restrictions on the tech side of things in order to let the candidate shine (hopefully) in whatever tech they are most comfortable with.

I make sure to ask for feedback on the exercise and I've gotten all positive feedback from candidates.

That's only possible because F#'s (and OCaml's) type system is so simple (basically the only possible relationship is equality, with is indicated by reusing the same letter twice). But if your system is more complex, even like Java's, you often need additional constraints, e.g. <X : Hashable> or something. In that case, you probably do need to declare your type parameters.

Best, of course, would be some middle ground assisted by a fantastic compiler.
