We pull unhealthy VMs and containers from rotation in real time. Serving a bunch of 500 series errors to clients because your application server took a nosedive isn't great even with a 300 second TTL.

We don't use NAT. When people say RFC1918 addresses aren't routable they mean you can't advertise them on the public Internet. You can totally have 10/8 switched and routed internally. Even if you don't want to mess with that, it's entirely possible to set a proxy to proxy from its public IP to another public IP, but why waste the IP space, especially in v4? I can server 80 applications each with half a dozen or more backend systems from about six proxy servers. The proxy isn't running the application and connecting to the RDBMS so each one can handle way, way more traffic than even an efficient application.

Using a proxy that's layer 7 aware also lets you do things like scale different parts of a URI tree individually. If you're not proxying, every copy of app.example.com serves everything under https://app.example.com/ even if it's one of 23 (about the most A records that will fit in UDP DNS) servers doing it. With a proxy, I can decide that https://app.example.com/freestuff/ is too busy and spikes the backends, and that the load of that and the rest of the stuff under / is too hard to scale for properly when taken together. So I just tell my proxies that everything for https://app.example.com/freestuff goes to server set A and the rest of stuff in / goes to server set B. Then the different performance and different demand for the two can be studied, improved, monitored, and reported separately at the VM or container (or even bare metal backend) level.

I can also throw memcached or Redis into the mix and do site-wide limiting on an IP that's scanning or attacking my entire laundry list of applications. Even without those I can rate-limit what each proxy will accept from a single visitor globally or per backend type.

> For example the "adjacency matrix" representation of a graph is very often never multiplied by a vector even in academic algorithm descriptions.

Unless you're doing spectral graph theory, which looks at properties of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the graph's adjacency matrix. Even then, you don't usually multiply the adjacency matrix by a vector explicitly.
For sufficiently large companies, a third option is to create a global corporate structure that minimizes the tax burden. If lawyers + accountants + other fees is considerably less than the tax (which is probably the case for most mid-sized or larger companies), becomes a no-brainer for them.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement for a historic example.
I've become a large user of PET-G for some of the reasons you outline. I've never had a problem with strength the way that I use it in my designs, PET-G is plenty durable for a small device which spends 99% of its life inside a larger device. Also the heat resistance makes it tolerate the summer heat of cars which is also important.

Also PET-G has the added benefit of not giving me cancer like ABS. It definitely has a learning curve and I wouldn't fault anyone for going other routes rather than taking the time to get a feel for it.
You're mixing corporate income taxes an personal income taxes. Corporate income taxes are good because the business wants to avoid paying taxes so it will devise more ways to invest in the company. This is where investment capital will be coming from.
The process is a little brittle right now, but when it works, it works. Remill (the binary lifter) sometimes has issues with certain constructs such as switch statements, and we've hit a number of LLVM and ptxas (PTX assembler) bugs as well, since LLVM's PTX backend isn't fully mature and most CUDA kernels are light on function calls and don't look like typical application code. However, when the process works, the PTX doesn't look too terribly different from the original code.
Is it worse than running up a multi trillion dollar deficit? The tax cut was sold as it would give a boost to the economy and we would make it back with additional revenue due to economic growth.

However the required growth rate to justify the tax cut was estimated by 6.5. Even when the economy was good before the pandemic it never got above 4.5 percent. And now we're not even close.

Maybe a wealth tax is not the best idea but based on the current economic realities and the budget deficit what is a better alternative? Conservatives will say "cut the budget or spending" but which expenditures are you going to cut?

It might be a bad idea but compared to 23 trillion dollar? The super wealthy have benefitted from how many tax cuts and yet we are still running a massive deficit. Many like to say 'its a spending problem' but then ask them where to cut spending and usually its spending that does not affect them. Plus you need to factor in the affects of austerity on the economy, as the UK has tried it and it did not work, which will reduce revenue and make the deficit and economy worse.

Hate it all you want but it should be on the table as an option to stop the bleeding. Bring on the downvotes.
IMO, it was obviously a PR stunt from both sides, with Walker and the GOP trying to make it look like they were creating jobs (ironically an easier political sell when you legislate special exemptions and subsidies), and Foxconn and China trying to defuse trade tensions.

It was never about money or jobs; it was about votes.
They have plenty, mostly (except some analog connection ones) are more expensive, some in that $200 range even. That's one of the reasons I ended up with the HS70, as it is wireless without being too expensive, more mid-range. A lot of the other recommended wireless ones I've seen, like the SteelSeries Arctis, are mostly on the more expensive side. Not sure how they stack up on the listening quality, but for that money I'd be looking at the higher end headphones (non gamer headsets) anyway.
This is similar to the "just following orders" defense. I mean, if they are physically oppressing you, it's hard to say they aren't really culpable.

Why should I be forced to sell shares of my company when no other individual that owns shares of whatever other companies is being forced to sell?! As you said, Bezos sells billion dollars worth of AMZN and pays taxes on that just as you and I would when we do. I am not sure I follow why we are trying to tax owning of shares of companies?! If you buy 100,000 shares of AMZN today, do you hope that IRS will come knocking on your door to take 1,000 or whatever number it is each year? If that is the case no one would ever buy any shares of any company...
But why invest instead of just taking the tax hit unless you’re waiting for a lower tax rate in the future? It seems this scheme of incentives is dependent on some future expectation of taxes dropping.

The problem is when you start making money and want to grow the business without funding. You need to build a war chest. Once you've burnt through any carried loss, which happened pretty quickly in our case, we are taxed on the profit we are retaining in order to build up a cash reserve.

That cash reserve is needed if we're to self fund big projects and in case of down-turn, lawsuit or other unforeseen event if we are to avoid immediately laying people off.

The alternative is to raise money which dilutes founders and employees who own stock or vested options.

You won't encounter this issue if you're early stage or if you are "going for growth" by running at a loss and raising money in successive rounds. But it is a huge problem if you are a self funding small or medium sized business.
in the spectrum of taxes I think would rank them in decreasing order of fairness as (Vices, Consumption, Income, Wealth)...

Wealth tax is really rough because you can lose money on an asset AND lose more w/ the taxation on the capital base. At least with an income tax it's, hypothetically, only in the case of profit.

Wealth Tax is kind of like mandatory quotas. Income tax is like sharecropping.

Consumption is like sharing your goods consumption with society (think Potluck)

Vices is actually a disincentives structure for things proven to be societally disastrous or distasteful

And of course the devil is in the details entirely, because loopholes and policy can change it entirely.
I'm in favor of astronomical marginal tax rates. But that post of comically bad at making the argument.

The founding fathers, including a handful of those quoted in the linked post, were highly critical of democracy and even of men who didn't own multiple house like they did.

We just narrowly missed out on having a constitution which only allowed land owners to vote. There were even years long debates on whether votes should be proportional to the amount of land owned.

Using the founding fathers to argue for state enforced equalization of outcomes is plainly absurd.
Halide developer here. Since we're in the middle of a launch, I don't have time to dig super detailed into that article you posted, but from a quick skim it doesn't appear to be particularly well-researched.

All the goodness of the first party camera's deep fusion, etc, is exposed to third-party developers. So if you're using a third party app (that knows what they're doing) then at worst you get the same results as the first party camera.

Here are some things off the top of my head that you don't get with the first party camera, excluding RAW:

Manual focus, Control over ISO vs duration, Manual white balance, Explicit control over which lens is being used (the first party camera switches without telling you), tell what parts are clipping or hitting your noise floor (histogram, waveform, and zebras), focus loupe and focus peaking that tell you exactly what is in focus (rather than tapping and hoping for the best) a reviewer lets you view the component images that make up the image asset in your library (e.g. depth data on portrait photos)…

With MKII, we're now investing in education to help beginning photographers become better.

That said, writing this out are just the checkboxes on a spreadsheet of features. It's harder to quantify the value of design. While we think the first party camera is great, it's also tasked with doing many, many things, from videos to panoramas.

Halide is designed to only shoot photos. Not even video, just photos. We're aiming to be the absolute best tool to do that one thing.
Well, it's the same motivation, isn't it? "All my peers are doing this - I would be a sucker not to do the same". It's that feeling of being taken advantage of that they want to avoid.

Let's be clear, there are three kinds of mindsets here:

"I don't want to be taxed at all" - lots of lobbying and such to keep taxes on the rich low, and lots of loopholes.

"I think people of my bracket should be taxed higher, but I am going to avail myself of every existing loophole and itemization I can" - doesn't want to feel like a sucker, but agrees people in their bracket, themselves included, should pay more.

"I think people of my bracket should be taxed higher, and I'm going to give money away anonymously or similar to put my money where my mouth is, even if others of my bracket are not" - a unicorn.
LOL, you are not far off. I can't remember where, but a while ago I saw an interview with some guy who did pretty much that: he opened a studio but instead of calling it yoga he came up with some 'cool' name like 'RX+fitness' or whatever (you get the idea) and marketed to 'tough guys'. He even said in the interview it was mostly yoga with some cardio, but that the whole ambiance was designed to make males feel secure doing it. He was making a killing.
This conversation makes me wonder about how tax breaks to incentivize certain types of investments are perceived in the board room, especially over the long term.

It sounds like if taxes are high, I invest and play for time, waiting for some administration to offer me a tax break so I can take money out. Is a targeted tax break then also a chance to extract profit?
I always thought they were just a provocation to make other measures seem more reasonable, or a kind of signal for filtering off thoughtful people and attracting rubes for a rabble. When you realize wealth taxes are economic cannibalism, you just can't unsee it.

Sure, eat the rich, but you are left with the same question the sort people who advocate that kind of thing never seem to ask themselves, which is, "and then what?"

What's interesting is seeing some of these numbers. 80 million requests per second the the DynamoDB endpoint.

There's been a lot of criticism of google for doing fewer DNS requests then that per day to try to avoid domain hijacking attacks by ISPs and other middleware.

https://blog.apnic.net/2020/08/21/chromiums-impact-on-root-d...

Given DNS should be pretty fast to serve, be interesting if Amazon / Google etc could help out apnic just handle some of these DNS queries (0.5mqps?). I happen to like the effect it has on domain hijacking, and compared to youtube and graphics heavy product pages hard to imagine bandwidth is too crazy high?

One note - Dynamo pricing (let's say 0.50 per million equests would be around $40/second at these volumes?)
I love that you brought up the surveillance aspect; I have not seen that discussed much elsewhere.

A wealth tax seems impractical on many levels, including the increased burden of trying to document the value of your items for people of modest wealth levels. Unique or thinly traded luxury items have value that can't really be known until they are sold, which is why capital gains are taxed at the time of a sale. I'm thinking of a rare coin that might be $75,000 or $100,000.... you can't know the value until it goes up on the auction block. Same thing applies to real estate, antique cars, artwork, etc.

The top 10% of wage earners pay all the tax. But they're not the top 10% by wealth or unearned income. Those guys are getting off free.

Bit of a stretch. Most simple tools I'm aware of do not require elevation, or even installation for that matter. That said, a lot of tools do insist on elevation even when it is unnecessary.

I agree with the overall point: Mac does it better with Application Directories. You don't even need to drag them to the Applications folder, they run anywhere including off of removable media.

Well, you have to remember that taxes affect the expected outcome, as they reduce the upside of a positive outcome. Taxes do not mitigate the losses from a failure, and most people do not have the resources to sustain failures (without severe negative consequences).

By reducing the expected outcome of a new venture, taxes discourage marginal entrepreneurs from starting businesses.
Think state and local taxes. Depending on where you live and the type of business you run, they can add up quickly.

> Background video lowers the value of ads which subsidizes free playback so it makes monetary sense to disable it.

On the other hand, video is expensive to serve so the ad revenue per gigabyte should be higher, in addition to getting more hours of listening per user. So it makes monetary sense to enable it.

They're both valid options for making money. So it's fair game to analyze it as a matter of user preference, company preference, and level of rudeness.
Regarding VMware buying SaltStack, it is a good thing, Tom will have more time to code, according to TheHacks podcast episode about it at https://www.saltstack.com/the-hacks/ that I usually listen from page https://thehacks.libsyn.com/ .

From other podcast episodes I got to know that they at SaltStack are currently merging those many differently maintained SaltStack repos together to less repos, so it will make progress faster.

Disclaimer: I do not work at SaltStack. I just happily listen to their podcasts and I have used SaltStack for managing my servers.

> Why buy a stock if Biden will take 1% of it annually? May as well just buy rapidly depreciating status symbols instead

Because the stock will allow you to avoid paying taxes. By investing revenue in investment, as a company, you can avoid paying tax on the money. So if you're a small or medium sized business, you have two choices:

1) Cash out and buy a rapidly depreciating status symbol with the money, but get taxed on it at a higher rate.

2) Reinvest the money in growing your business.

At least that's what I understood from OPs reasoning.

Edit: Also spending money in depreciating status symbols is also a contributor to the economy.

I get the protectionist aspect, but are they re-investing the money from this tax to make manufacturing desirable in the country?

We're talking logistics improvement, stable electric grid, infrastructure and training programs to get an educated workforce. Or is it just contributing to some bureaucrat's pension fund?

In the same vein, I 100% agree with fuel taxes and green taxes... if the government can demonstrate 100% of the tax goes to finance alternatives that are useful to me.

slightly offtopic but ive always considered media to be the most fascinating asset controlled by wealth.

The news ensures rote reinforcement and education of the class system for the masses, while celebrities act as a sort of failsafe to avoid things like the 18th century French revolution.

individual celebrity popularity is permitted to ebb and flow, however a general aversion to or boycott of celebrities acts as a canary in a coal mine, alerting the most wealthy and opulent to the existence of a systemic backlash against the fundamental tenents of class inequality and, most importantly, the ruling class of wealth. This sort of unilateral distaste for celebrities was last seen during the COVID quarantine when celebrities insisted solidarity with their fans while sequestered in lavish mansions or private estates. the acrid contrast between pawns forced to work multiple jobs and elites who merely benefitted from the inconvenience of isolation in paradise produced a widespread backlash. In response, celebrities were recalled by media owners and a greater focus was put on thanking "essential workers" in media (print, tv, and billboards) as well as the Amazon news piece, which acted to repair and maintain the US populations perception of wealth as a net-good.
I also saw this recently, although on another provider. The solution in the article's case (as stated) is to not terminate multiple public IPs across one or more NLB which target the same instance. If you must target the same instance more than once, give that instance an IP address for each public IP.

I don't think so because the corporation isn't a person and no one actually has the corporation's best interests at heart. Everyone is invested or labour for the venture for money - some idealists may want to build a great thing - but those will be far in the minority compared to those that want to sell a great thing.

Reinvestment in a corporation is only naturally incentivized when that strategy appears to give the biggest RoI and not all money uninvested from markets, companies etc. will necessarily be reinvested in another venture.
