>Creating equality usually ends up involving taking away freedom and oppressing people.

This is hyperbolic and false.

The first and most relevant example that I can think of in the West is the Civil Rights Movement. People were more equal following this. (And, in wealth terms, the US has become less equal again since then).

What freedoms did that take away; what oppression did it create; how many millions died?
I wonder if all the people leaving Google for Fastmail will make Fastmail the next Google. It's better to diversify accounts like that, especially in the case of email, which (currently) works across providers, despite attempts by Google and Protonmail to lock users in.

My usual interpretation of this is not that we have strange proofs, but rather to interpret this as a failure of Godel encodings to completely capture the notion of proof.

That is the statement Con(T) isn't really a statement about the consistency of T, but rather a statement that is "close enough" to suffice for many, but not all purposes.
I love pigs and dread the thought of butchering mine. Where I live wild pigs are not a problem, but in the Southern states of the USA there are literally millions. They are the most invasive of species, descendants of those imported from Europe or maybe Russia in the 19th century. Some get to be enormous. They destroy property and they're tearing up hundreds of thousands of acres of land. They're smart and dangerous. The right solution is of course to shoot them en masse, but the optics aren't so good on that solution.

I'm a data scientist who specializes in helping companies design and implement a data science strategy prior to making a first data science hire. At most top-tier startups, the management team recognizes the need to build a data science organization. But getting started on that process is difficult, and far too many startups watch their first data science hire fail to deliver results.

Success follows from articulating the objectives and needs of the data science team, and that’s where I can help. By developing goals, ensuring data infrastructure is in place, and identifying needed skills, we can set your first hire up for success and avoid costly mistakes like hiring a deep learning engineer when what you really need is someone to make dashboards.

Although I deliver the most value when helping organizations develop strategies, I’m also available for other projects up to 10hrs/week.

Technologies:

Data science: Python, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Numpy, PySpark, Jupyter notebooks, Matplotlib, Seaborn
Data engineering: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda), PostgreSQL, Docker, Airflow

Previous Experience:
BCG, Google (Software Engineer), 3x Startups

I'd say the risks of a server going down are about the same as an AWS setup going haywire at that level.
Hey Oren,

I appreciate your civil clarification, however, I still honestly don't see a reasonable path to your view.

If we find extraterrestrial life, this poses perhaps the greatest opportunity we've ever had to learn more about the limits and fundamentals of life on Earth, as we will finally have a sample size of more than one rise of life in multiple environments.

If we learn to inhabit other planets or moons, this requires perhaps the greatest project in engineering across many specializations ever attempted, constraining us to stricter boundaries than we face on Earth, and thereby inevitably teaching us a lot more about improving life on Earth.

If you can play football against the pros, you can definitely play it against amateurs. Training in the NFL doesn't take away from your ability to play at home, it improves it.

Acuity Scheduling Review – Is It the Best Scheduling Software?
Not really. I got it instantly and I've never even read the book.
I suspect that it's a holdover from the past. There once was a time when many people had more time to read than they had stuff to read. This kind of writing was fine. Better than right-to-the-point writing, in fact, because it expanded the amount to be read without actually needing to have more to say.

Alternately, it's a way of expanding readership. If you don't know anything about molecular biology, they have to write an article at a layperson's level to explain what they mean. But if you, the reader, don't want to go through the effort of trying to understand even that, then there's this human-interest stuff that may still cause you to decide to buy their magazine.
Get a domain, set MX records to a provider and back them up.

Thanks for this. I have one nit. You show `q = 1598029824 - u/2;` as being identical to `q = 0x5F400000 - u >> 1;`, but every language I know of uses a different order of operations, giving different results. It might be clearest to provide parentheses in the second case.

I don't like Electron either, but is it correct to consider it a Google product? I'm not sure.

Electron is heavily dependent on code developed and maintained by Google, but then so is Node, and Go, and presumably anything written in Go, such as Docker. Calling all of those Google products seems wrong—but it's true that Node would be in big trouble if Google suddenly stopped maintaining Chrome or something.

Maps suffered from a nice 100+ times price hike a few years ago and killed plenty of companies that relied on it.

I'm working on getting the local government to sponsor an effort to improve Open Street Maps enough to be better than google.

IIUC they had some rats in two rooms, and most of the ill rats were in one room. But they didn't put an amulet of relevant mineral in the cages of one room and use the other room as a control group.

Every single time when VPNs come up there's people talking about all the pitfalls of VPNs when the vast majority of people just want to get past geo-restrictions or avoid being sued for torrenting.
It may be useful to mention that modern architectures often have vectorized instructions like vrsqrt14ps (accessible via the _mm512_rsqrt14_ps intrinsic) that provides a 14-bit approximation (there are more accurate variants too) in every lane with an inverse throughput of 2. These are faster than the integer bit hacks.

This is about right. This eighty percent will also create seed cones through their life.
You do you.

A decade or so back, I finally got a machine powerful enough to usefully run a VM or 2 without killing foreground performance.

I figured I wanted the lightest-weight version of Windows that would do what I needed, so I tried a bunch: Win95B, Win98SE, NT 3.51, NT 4, Win2K, XP.

9x was eliminated straight away: it could only do 640*480 and didn't have good enough networking to get anything in or out.

NT 3/4 were about as limited but could do better networking.

W2K worked well but couldn't run the VirtualBox guest additions.

So I ended up with TinyXP, which ran in 40MB off the ISO image (although more like 220MB once fully-updated).

There's no point for me having my word-processor in a sealed box. I need to get files in and out. I want to be able to put stuff in Dropbox. I want to be able to get it in and out of LibreOffice and Gmail. I want to start in a Linux text editor, add some info in LibreOffice, save as .DOC and open it in Word to work on the structure. I want to be able to copy the name of the speaker, the talk, the time and subject and paste them direct from my browser into my notes.

It's host integration that means this isn't a toy for the sake of the thing. If I wanted that, I could run Wordsworth under UAE, or Word 5.1 under System 7 in Basilisk.

This is a tool to get work done. For that, I want the host environment to be as invisible as possible.

If you don't, well, fine. But your choices would be useless for me.
How did you measure 4 to 6% packet loss? Do you have scripts to ping some server and you are collecting packet loss data? I would like to collect such data for my home network and am curious.
VMs are certainly not the primary benefit of the cloud; cloud providers offer many services in addition to VM orchestration, but that hardly matters because your own example is illustrative of your error:

> The overhead of bare metal on top of cloud VMs is basically knowing how to handle RAID and set up load balancing.

This implies human beings to handle raid and set up load balancing, which suggests that you need to compare the cost of cloud providers with the cost of hardware and the cost of those engineering resources.

In addition to RAID and load balancing, most organizations/applications also need networking (good luck balancing load without a network), databases (including backup management), TLS, DNS, access management, etc, etc. All of this takes humans to build and operate. AWS services do a lot of this for you. In the on-prem world, you have to build (or buy/integrate) this yourself, but that's not free so you have to account for that cost in your comparison.

You can still make the argument that on-prem is a better value proposition when accounting for the total cost of ownership, but that's a different argument than those which ignore engineering costs altogether.

I've been using paid Zoho mail for about eight months and have very few complaints.

I haven't had any problems with outbound deliverability. However, their inbound post-delivery spam controls are overzealous and categorize almost all mail from new correspondents as spam.

The only major problem with Zoho is that they host mail inside US jurisdiction so it's vulnerable to NSA abuses.

Mailbox.org (based in Germany) is a possible alternative for people who want/need to keep their data further away from American commercial espionage operations.

The risk grows exponentially with each Google product one uses, including ones you don’t know about. Presumably including automated ML systems internal to Google to establish whether an account is kosher.

Because of the exponential increase in risk and unresolved uncertainty I just don’t consider the risk to be worth it.

It's using the new 'C0' chip as well. So I would assume the CM4 can be overclocked just like the Pi 400, though without the benefit of that massive keyboard-sized heat sink.
Thank you for posting in this thread today.
As you're seeing, it doesn't have to be an all or nothing switch to degoogle. I stopped using Chrome and search ages ago. About two years ago I switched away from Gmail (NOT to Fastmail!)

Just about the only Google services I still rely on are Android (Because you can't get an iPhone with a physical keyboard) and Drive, and even that I only use because it's the path of least resistance for syncing my password keychain.
I don't know anything about this but being an engineer myself I am assuming you hit a rate limiting function.

I am assuming Gmail caches the images when you upload, image upload being an expensive operation per se; when you uploaded so many at once, it must have triggered a rate limiting mechanism which stopped requests from you until the cooldown window kicked in.

Why would they add a rate limiting method? It makes sense for every product to have rate limiting beyond fair use, otherwise it makes it susceptible to denial of service attacks by attacking expensive APIs with high volume.

Why did the rate limiting mechanism blanket limited Gmail? I am assuming they either just have a global threshold or you breached both API and global threshold at the same time.

Should they have informed you? Maybe the message was in HTTP code.

Again, no way for me to verify this. These are just my assumptions from building rate limiting solutions in the past. Every service should have rate limiting mechanism, probably with better user messaging I guess.

As another poster says, these things build over time.

Lists like these are excellent for people who havn’t come across or had time to look for other services yet. Maybe they were stuck thinking “it’s too hard to leave google, I’d have to make all that stuff by myself” (or the corporate equivalent for things like analytics).

In my case, it took several years of posts, paranoia and planning. I tried out a few services. I already used Safari (Apple’s another story). I switch to Firefox as my main front-end dev tool, which took some getting used to. I already had a vanity domain name and some for of email hosting. At one point I decided to flick a switch and stop using as many Google things as possible. Some time later I got sucked back into GSuite because of work and some of my hobby/social life projects. When I start my own projects, I don’t use Google.
