and JFrog (I don't know anything about them, but the S-1 was posted on HN today).
I just saw this, so excuse the late response.

I’m pretty bad at storage discipline. And I admit that most of what I store is generally useless. But there’s diminishing returns on deciding what to store, vs. storing everything.

I have a little hard drive toaster that I keep a revolving 5tb spinning disc drive in. It’s my “storage” drive, and once it fills up I replace it with new ones. I don’t shoot “professionally” as in for clients, but I shoot some fairly large scale images, that result in lots and lots of data. And my working files can get up to 10gb in size. So I vigorously backup my working files, and I’m only halfassedly storing all the captures in case I need to go back and review, or dig up BTS. Lastly I have a pretty cheap and crappy SSD that I use as a sort of scratch disc. If I shoot teatherd, I’ll capture to it, or if I’m working on an image I’ll work off the SSD until the image is complete, and then move it to me of the spinning disc drives.

I currently have 3 filled 5tb drives with captures, and a drobo that I keep my working files on (tiffs, psd’s, psb’s).

If none of what I’m saying adds up, take a look at my images, and hopefully it will make it slightly more clear: http://agroism.com
Two things I could wish for:

- Performance from tables not cached on the warehouse instance is awful. That the price you pay for shutting a warehouse down.

- I wish it were cheaper. If you run queries against a warehouse 24/7, preventing from auto-shutdown, you better hope it's tiny. And even then, the cost might incentivize you to employ a different strategy entirely.

The other stuff you mention is them building a moat around your data lake. They're pretty good at that. I'd happily get locked into Snowflake for the moment. Redshift really does look like an amateur hour product in comparison to the tools you get with Snowflake.

Even then, as good as Snowflake is, our internal users went from complaining about the performance of Looker and Redshift to complaining about the performance of Tableau and Snowflake. I don't know if you can ever please anyone in this space...
Since it isn't very anonymous and doesn't likely have any clear tax advantage, I think the mostly likely reason for the trust is just to avoid probate in California if he passes away. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-avoiding-....
Business was at a standstill in 2008. It takes 8-10 years to go from embryo to IPO these days. Thus, a lot of companies got started in 2010-2012, and are now reaching IPO maturity.
I think this is a "ketchup bottle" effect rather than a sign of the end times.

(That being said, the end times may ALSO be upon us, but not because of this particular sign.)
What do they actually do (for 1m+ people)?

I'm looking around their site and blog (and the S-1) and read a lot of 'marketing-speak', but no simple one-liner about what they actually do and what value they bring.

Am I missing something obvious?

What comparative companies are they like? I saw someone mention Jira. Are they 'a Jira'?

> impressionable investor guys.

Impressionable investor guys tend not to be investor guys for very long. Big-vision bluster can can work with media and some end users but it turns off real market analysts.
Also worth mentioning they added a 6 month retention policy for unpaid accounts. https://www.docker.com/pricing/resource-consumption-updates If you don't want your images disappearing, you should probably move off of Docker Hub. (That said, I don't think there's any reason to continue using Docker Hub, even with a paid service. I suspect such docker services will be discontinued gradually.)

It's not hard to run a registry yourself. https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/ Registry supports all sorts of storage backends (files, S3, GCS ...). It's just a stateless HTTP server. It's not hard to configure for production (it comes with decent defaults). If you deploy this to something like Google Cloud Run, you can get ~free hosting (sans the storage costs) for the "registry" itself plus TLS and autoscaling too (I should probably write a tutorial on this).
Great point, definitely need to add the pricing to our website!
And no, we're not an open source app. In terms of pricing, we have a Free tier and a $10/month "Journal Plus" tier.
Currently the differences between Free vs. Journal Plus are:
1. number of app integrations (2 vs. unlimited)
2. amount of data synchronized from those apps (last 14 days vs. years)
3. file size upload limit (10MB vs. unlimited)

One commitment I can make is that we'll never monetize off of your data or by dumping algorithmic ads on you. So, to do that, we're creating a subscription scheme that allows us to provide some powerful but expensive features, but also provide a very useful free tier.
You're designing a mini jet at that point, one that has to go faster than it's target yet be maneuverable enough to hit it. Which is pretty much just a smart missile at that point.
I feel like this policy would be too easy to hack - just find out which majors are only offered at UCB or UCLA or whatever school you want to go to.
Parent comment noted "Not that my iPhone crashes either," so I figured it was worth mentioning that sometimes they do
These numbers seem low. An $800k loan ($1m property w/ $200k down payment) @ 3.1% says the payment is 3,416.13/month. I was expected a number around $4,600. I think I know why it's low too.

What about home insurance? What about property taxes? You aren't getting a home loan without committing to these other mandatory costs. And DTI ratios include these things. DTI means principal + interest + taxes + insurance + (all other debt you have) must be <~40% of your income.

It's a calculator, for sure, but it's one that doesn't have meaningful defaults for these non-discretionary home expenses. I understand that, at a national level, generalizing things like property tax rates can be rough. But just have a reasonable default percentage, and let users adjust accordingly to their state.
Yeah, why wouldn't an f22 for example just turn and run from these drones at nearly mach 2.

I had this until I was treated for an autoimmune condition. I was literally on crutches because my knees hurt so badly, it was excruciating. GP was like "we see your autoimmune markers are up a bit, but we don't see anything else, probably in your mind" . I had never had any issue before and I was an avid hiker. The condition would come and go and last a month or so. I ditched him and went to an autoimmune specialist. Along with a couple of other symptoms he diagnosed me and within two weeks it was all gone and never came back. I was on the medication he gave me hydroxychloriquine for about 3 years and he after weaned me off of it and I haven't had any remissions, and I just eat a restrictive diet and avoid wheat and dairy products and I'm perfectly healthy. It's not "in your head" if you have pain and no extreme external stressors that might be affecting your mind/body connection, seek out someone who knows what they're talking about, GPs are good for diagnosing things that show up easily in standard tests otherwise they might just tell you that you're a hypochondriac.
The people and places i know of see them are complementary. If you’re installing a custom rpm in your docker image, you store the rpm in artifactory and the final image in ecr. The pricing on bandwidth was crazy to use it as a docker repo last I looked, which was a while ago. There’s a ton of value in hosting all the private repo types.
I don't think any language has a lazy spread operator. Haskell is the only language I know off lazy enough to conceivably have one, but it doesn't accept arbitrary lists of arguments (unless you count having an actual list as an argument, which is the better option if you want laziness really).
How does this compare to Google? You can develop your own app and side load it. And you can have third part app stores.
Ah interesting, I guess it makes sense considering its a different workflow from the two titles I mentioned which were compositing people into CG backdrops.

Thanks for the correction.
General Atlantic, Sequoia Capital Are Key Drivers in Oracle Bid for TikTok
The game is the game: https://youtu.be/mSXm4FUmE5g?t=59

The game I'm referring to is whatever game you need to play to gain capital, social, economic or otherwise. Whether that's applying to colleges and all of the requisite application fluff; the technical interview game or the optimal high school game. And while these games are significantly easier to play if you come from means, I know plenty of low income students who play the game far better than your elite private school types.

The path you describe ("input data to database query") is most certainly representable by a graph. I'm not sure what you mean by "static graph." I do believe our memory is persistent, "static," and finite. We hold discrete pieces of information and connections between them. Aka, a graph.
Of course they do; it makes money for their corporate donors.
When it comes to the mobile-desktop thing, check out Rebass, which uses actual generated CSS under the hood so it's properly performant (especially if you handle it right by precompiling all the static CSS at build time with babel-plugin-emotion), but lets you write media query-dependent attributes directly with your component use. For an example: https://rebassjs.org/box and resize the page back and forth
It would do exactly that

It's a rock solid product, it's extremely reliable but it's not that cheap.
>Do you really think you have a better grasp of antitrust law than their legal team?

Obviously Apple's legal team does not understand antitrust law. It is impossible to get someone to understand something, when their salary depends upon not understanding it.
Disagree totally with this. My psychometric IQ has been stable for a long time, yet my problem solving ability has increased significantly.

Some ways to modulate it might be reading material such as George Polya's "How to Solve It," taking your own notes on heuristics and techniques you've found useful and continuously reapplying and iterating them, and simply delving deep into many hard problems (be they directly coding related or not).
Is it a way to make him more humane or more of a prophet with long hair?
Nushell is the only shell I know of (other than fish) which uses threads. Threads are famously difficult in shells because of the fork/thread interaction.

How is Nushell able to use threads? For example how are subshells implemented?
>Where I live students don't have any choice in which high school to go to. You go to your local high school, unless your family is wealthy and you can afford private schools.

You must never have bought a house. If you look on any real estate website, you'll find the ratings for local schools. Some towns grow or shrink on the quality of their schools. School districts are as important as cars in explaining the geometry of modern suburbia.
That's not much of a value gain it would just push the industry further away from ARM. x86 has a lot of legacy power and it enjoyed being the only relevant platform for a long time in a lot of markets so there's a lot of cost in making stuff that was architecture specific cross platform. ARM doesn't really have that, people that deal with ARM already have to worry about infrastructure set portability (all of them also have x86 support) once you add ARM the way is open for other ISA
Why? Particularly when the practicalities of layout, particularly around the uncore area, mean there's some free space anyway. Also, a square millimeter is around 30-40 million transistors on TSMC 7nm (about Pentium III level gate count), which is almost certainly way more than any of these features would need by orders of magnitude.
I don't know the specific of the Newton case and am not really vested in the issue. But I am midly amused by your definitive statement on cultures' take on interpersonal competitive issues over the course of mankind history.

While we are living in an era where what you consider actual standard are not uniformely regarded as such on the surface of the globe.

I am genuinely interested in knowing how you could arrive at such an opinion ?

I think I have a mix of envy and curiosity.

I'm envious because often these high achieving people had amazing opportunities, which enabled them to reach the level they're at.

I'm curious because of exactly what you said.

Unfortunately it seems like the journey people take to achieve these amazing feats is often never documented and everyone only focuses on the outcome. It's quite disappointing because I love to read about how people went from A -> B.
Of course $6 million can do a lot of damage in the wrong hands. But here, it was already in the wrong hands.

Was there actual damage done by transferring it to a legitimate research group, doing real research, that had to pass many levels of review (whatever its funding)? If not given to a Harvard research lab, might that $6 million not have done even worse damage elsewhere?
Transfer compression will usually take that down to the point where it's negligible. By the time you're talking enough data for this to matter, things like pagination will likely be far more important.

It's actually an argument for making the SAT harder.

You can see on the Asian curve for the SAT, that cohort saturates the high end. The SAT should be so difficult that no one gets a perfect score without being lucky.

And lucky guesses on an entrance exam is a better filter than a lottery, because it feels like merit. For an MIT degree to mean "I'm reasonably smart and very lucky" would be a disaster, for society and for MIT students both. The illusion of agency simply must be maintained.
"normal" in the last 10-15 years -- yes. That doesn't mean it's a good deal. The "recent" idea has been to project growth (rather than profit) as the primary metric, with the idea that eventually when "dominant" in the sector the money that goes into growth will multiply profitability.

I don't subscribe by this method.

Another thing to keep in mind is that IPOs are usually done for 1 of 3 reasons:

1) To allow an exit for investors

This means that you have to think you know more than their current investors do about their growth -- unless the investors have other specific timelines (sometimes they do), or else you're buying what someone else thinks is no longer a good use of capital.

2) To raise money

This means the company needs more cash, either for "growth" or because they will fail without it. Again, you should be certain that this company-in-need deserves more money.

3) To create a sense of "official-ness".

Some companies can be better respected in their industry and helps with their brand if they're public.

It's been reported that public CEOs often spend about 50% of their time working on matters that relate to simply being public. It's one of the reasons that Warren Buffett will sometimes take companies private after buying public ones -- to afford them more time and energy to work on the actual company. There's very little about going public that actually makes a company better.
New info revealed by article:

"The investment firms, which own large stakes in Beijing-based ByteDance Ltd., are key drivers behind a possible bid for TikTok by a group including Oracle Corp."

"Microsoft had said it might invite some U.S. investors to join its bid. But more recently Sequoia and General Atlantic grew concerned that they wouldn’t have a place in a Microsoft deal and looked for another potential tech partner that could give them a piece of the action, some of the people said. "

"Bidders have been asked to submit offers by the end of the week, and one of the parties could enter exclusive negotiations soon, according to people familiar with the matter. "

"TikTok representatives have engaged with other companies about potential involvement in a bid. They approached Netflix Inc. to gauge its interest in a deal, people familiar with those discussions said, but the video-streaming giant passed, one of them said."

"Zhang Yiming, ByteDance’s founder and chief executive, favors Microsoft, said people familiar with his thinking."
Epstein? You could easily be referring to the other three I mentioned too, i'm legitimately unsure.

He has become better known for his views on social media and data collection, but his contributions to VR are very real.

Your comparison seems inartful at best. If he’s the version for VR, what fields are Hilton and Kardashian meant to represent? Or were you just naming two celebrities?
Most of the financial aid given out by these schools isn’t federal aid. They even give full rides to international students who aren’t eligible for federal at all, and middle-class kids whose families have too much income to be eligible. This aid is funded by the endowment which is donations from rich people.

I think when people say Princeton receives a lot of federal money, they are talking about research grants, and possibly the effective subsidy that comes from the tax deductible status of donations from rich people. Each of these adds up to a lot more money than the Pell grants.

If you take away the rich people, the school won’t be able to afford to operate this way.
When I worked at Aflac, there was a quadruplegic former surgeon who came in like once a week and reviewed records for the really hard things that we, in claims, were having trouble figuring out. Because he was quadruplegic, someone brought him upstairs on the elevator and you had to print your entire claim out and someone turned pages for him. He only read it and made a determination. I got to see it firsthand once when one of my claims went to him.

I run a google group called Health Techies and your physician friend is welcome to join, if he is interested. It doesn't see much activity, but, you know, sometimes you get enough people and conversation breaks out, at long last. Or new people show up, have questions, and then conversation happens. Voila!

In fairness the decision was made in 2009. I still don’t think it was the right decision but it feels a lot more understandable to have made that choice when looking at the frameworks available in 09 rather than 2020.
A lot do make it in, but some of the programs are limited in how many they can take. Which sucks, because some of the alternatives don't offer much of a campus experience...like UT Arlington.
I'm using "Saved Messages" in Telegram and it does most of that stuff.

I store text, files, links, videos and I even use it to send this from my PC to my phone or vice versa.

I also have several channels with bots like grocery list, reminders, etc. And I can make my own bots that connect to almost any service I want. I started using Telegram as an alternative to Whatsapp and now I'm using it even as my own personal "Jarvis". I still haven't developed all the stuff I want to a fully functional personal manager but the possibilities are endless.

This app looks cool. Simple and straightforward, which is something I always look up to but in this scenario I think we (at least I) need something more, to be able to make it talk to other services.
Might as well link the source of the survey vs a Forbes blag: https://therideshareguy.com/california-sues-uber-and-lyft-fo...

Too bad they didn't ask questions like "do you want to deal with independent contractor taxes" and "do you want to set your own hours" and so on, to drill down into why they liked the independent contractor status.

Maybe the solution is to force ride share companies to truly act as matchmakers, where they show passengers and drivers the book and collect a small fee for completed transactions rather than using opaque pricing to maximize their take from both sides of the transaction.
I can't help but feel like this is a result of capitalist optimization, melting pot culture, and declining religious adherents among other factors. In other words: the cities are reflections of the individual level, where diversity in all it's meanings continue to decrease. Much of the biggest differences between the Midwest and the South or the East Coast and the West are summed up to first order economically - some areas are cheaper, have fewer restaurants and jobs, and vice versa. There's little serious cultural difference between these areas relative to the "interesting areas".

Homogenization begins at the people level, and America is increasingly homogenized at the surface level.
I think this looks great, I definitely will want to use it. I tried to read some of the popular posts and found a small bug:

When you are on a post page (like https://vigyaa.io/sadness-is-confusing-86b8c139/) it loads the content of the page and you can scroll and everything but then after a few seconds it switches to "Something Went Wrong!!! Please Try again".

Watching it happen with the console open this error comes out when it fails:

TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.

I'm still excited to use Vigyaa, worts and all!
Well, this was set up as a fight with equal resources. The same plane, flown by AI/Human.
In a real case you want to set up 'win'scenarios = sure kills. The AI was able to dominate. He seemed to think that a real human in a real plane against the same plane with AI, would draw upon human resources to feel G at 600 knots etc and exceed the ability of the AI to draw on those resources - being an unfeeling machine.
In fact, once stripped down AI fighting platforms get made, they will dominate.
It will take a design cycle to remove the human life support weight and to remove the cockpit etc,so it can be a 30-50G missile platform - that is what it will be. AI attacked versus AI ground defence missiles with similar AI counter fighters.
One can postulate a similar AI blizzard of radar/radio/optical jamming by both sides that will see-saw back and forth as tech develops. We fancy ourselves and look down on Russia, in fact Russia has a capable educational system. It was killed as the USSR by bad economic policies = central planning = a dead horse nobody can ride to victory. Now they are dragged down by the Oligarch tax = oligarchs steal any good idea and company that another Russian creates take it over with a faked shareholders and board meeting = they fill all roles, and drain cash from it. There have been hundreds of these and they are slowly and wurely killing Russia. Look at Putin, poisoning other politicians. /politics off....;)
I remember the same thing happening last year at the same time (late august), so my guess is that it that this timing has something to do with financial optimization of S-1 filings.
I'm not so sure that would be the play. Wouldn't it make more sense to bundle their GPU/Cuda IP with new processors like how Qualcomm bundles their SoCs with their modems or Intel chipsets with their CPUs? I think the end goal here is to build a bigger moat with CUDA.
> it’s not any different in than alphago or alphastar or the OpenAI dota bots

Except you know, it kills people.
The last match was apparently with both players (the AI and human) simulating a 9-Gs maneuver.

Because it was a simulation, the human didn't black out. Its just a game. Albeit a well simulated game close to dogfighting "reality", but its a game nonetheless.
