Most /24 seem to be marketed a little higher than that, so you’re really looking at ~$7500 USD for a minimum size prefix which you could advertise.

I do generally agree with your assertion this isn’t unaffordable, since the people who are most likely to care about owning their IP space instead of borrowing one from a provider like AWS most likely have other more significant costs like LIR fees, renting space/power/cooling for equipment, buying servers and network devices, etc etc.
So instead of emulating the style of more successful people, I should instead take style guidance from this guy with a blog because he says that's how things should be? While his opinion may be interesting, I believe we can safely say that the market has spoken.

I am not making an appeal to authority here, my point is that the writers he is criticizing are far more successful than he is - and it is not a stretch to connect some of that success to their engaging style of writing.

The general legal approach is that dead people have no privacy rights, and their privacy tends to be protected only as much as it concerns the privacy and reputation of their surviving relatives. It's fully legal to read and publish the private letters and intimate diaries of historical figures, as it is to make claims about their deeds and motivations that might constitute libel if they were alive.
> A problem of the taxonomy of “reptiles” vs “birds” is that Crocodilians are genetically more related to any bird than they are to any other reptile, but they are still grouped with “reptiles” rather than “birds", for instance.

All models are tentative. Note that modern paleontological papers now refer to dinosaurs as “non-avian dinosaurs”. Give it time and the commonly recognized groupings of today will change.
It will be interesting to see the city's solution to this problem if it continues. I hope it is not raising taxes.
Maybe it wouldn't have worked, but saying so much is also an exercise in speculation. It was well-received by doctors and patients, there was interest in exploring it further, and even though it may not have panned out - we will never know for sure, because of broken capitalist incentives.
I use a similar tech stack. Setting up auth is a pain in the ass and adds zero value. But when I use a cookie cutter template I need to spend a considerable amount of time getting familiar with the codebase.... No free lunch I guess.

To get a rough idea of what work can be done in the next X weeks, so that the business can forecast.

The wisdom comes in knowing things can change and it's just an estimate. The process of estimating is quite good as it requires finding out a lot more about how you will solve something, and planning things in advance.
Lack of free speech necessitates an over abundance of control, misinformation, lies, and overt propaganda in order to quell any free thought that would push people to ask questions openly. That is the distinct irony of people saying we must control free speech, thought, and information, in order to prevent misinformation from compelling people to violence or what have you. It doesn’t work that way, and it’s openly promoted on this website quite fervently.

The only speech that brings people back to the middle, away from the extremes, is free speech and open debate. That is it.

As everything in the world of knowledge, this topic too has a fractal nature. There's a difference between what you just said vs "well, optimize it with gradient descent, yoloswag" or "just invert the matrix A". If you say something something pivot selection, Gauss elimination, iterative algorithms, QR, LU factorization, backslash operator, pseudoinverse, under and overdetermined systems and can roughly handwave your way around roughly explaining what these things are about, it's probably already very good for this job. This prof probably wasn't interested in the tiniest of numerical stability details.
Me and my fiends went a very similar path with a different product. We made an Android and iOS app that would help learn programming by wring actual code. Users loved it. They were spending 10 minutes in the app on average! Some spent over 2 hours a day and would finish all the content in two days. Even though, nobody wanted to pay for it. We figured, we would never be able to bootstrap with ads alone so we had to focus on something else.
Is this new information? Something like 1/4 of all Americans support their state seceding from the union. It’s not a new sentiment.
Yeah, a lot of the states that are top in distributing their reserves of vaccines deal with really bad disasters on a regular basis.

I do not know if there is correlation though, based on looking at Bloomberg vaccine tracker. However, it appears so.
It wasn't that their computers weren't permitted to produce audio, its that they had made an agreement with The Beatles' Apple Corps that they wouldn't use the "Apple" trademark for products which were principally for creating music.

There already are some product like this. At least for small scale gardening. Not sure about cost difference since I do not buy fertilisers.

I've already used it for about 40 tomato plants. But not sure if it really works (or at least that particular product). Will have to try with some control group next time.
Do name changes actually work? Even if you closed your accounts with every company you do business with, your persistent identifiers (eg. SSN, DL number) would stay the same, so I'd imagine it's trivial for credit reporting agencies to link back to your old name. Not to mention, if your social graph is compromised (eg. your friend enabled contacts upload to facebook), then it's very easy to infer that the guy who dropped off the radar 6 months ago is the same person who appeared out of thin air 6.5 months later.
I love the beeb, but I’m happy enough for people to criticise them too - just because I think it’s great, doesn’t mean it can’t improve.

I used to think the TV licence was oppressive, until I moved to the US - and quickly realised I’d happily pay the licence if I could.
Love to hear this. Russians don't even respect Interpol warrants.

What an irony - - if you need to guarantee uptime and security for an opposing political mindset in US - - run your app on Russian servers, out of reach from libtards and cancel cultures . . . .

Software engineering can be studied at University and is a different degree and I think even falls under a different department to cs.
You can't make anyone sign terms. What you can do is offer and you can also make pre-offer commitments if you feel like it. So they offer and they make the commitment that if you attempt to modify terms, they will instantly reject. At that point, you won't get the service and they won't get the data.

From their side, they also offer a well-defined interface to sign up to their service with the standard set of terms. Now, whether you use a tool that conforms to this interface is up to you. You don't have to use a tool that will conform and you won't get the offer.

Likewise, you can offer a well-defined interface to sign up to your data and everyone else can just choose not to use it and they won't get your offer.
> which materially improves peoples lives and health

Agreed, saying this is an exercise in speculation. Apologies I could have been clearer.

>Amazon started investigating violent threats on Parler in November and reported more than 100 pieces of content over the next seven weeks, but the site never took action, according to one executive.
> I didn't mean "hacker" as opposing engineering.

Your sentence “there isn't the hacker/engineer dichotomy in ‘traditional’ engineering” can be paraphrased as: there is a dichotomy between a hacker and a software engineer... aaarrrgh!!

I am saying I have trouble following your comment, and your reply is confusing me further. I just wanted to say that using “hacker” as part of a comment will often cause confusion.

Disclaimer: I studied as an electronic engineer, and I consider myself a software engineer (I engineer my software carefully to work reliably as designed: although I can admire a good spaghetti cowboy solution if it meets some commercial or personal goal!)

Edit: “I don't wholly agree with this: http://www.paulgraham.com/gba.html ,” really displays that the meaning of hacker is a variable.
You can still be a champion of free speech without tolerating hate speech.

In fact, one may even say that deplatforming hate will achieve a greater level of free speech - due to the lack of misinformation and violent ideologies.
You should take a trip to Australia sometime. The desert is sparse. Australia is more like an atoll, with everyone living on the edges. I've been in parts of the outback where my workmates and I were the only people for 10 to 100's of km's in every direction.
> The first advice you need to give to an academic writer is not to read a book on stylish writing but rather to read how people in their field are writing.

I was once assigned the difficult task of having discussions with students about potential cases of plagiarism. There were some interesting cases, but one stood out because it was too well written. The student had quite a remarkable answer when they were asked about it: they looked at how their source material was written and emulated the style.

This is a very important point for a couple of reasons:

1. The expectations of the audience in a given discipline can only be understood by examining other writing in that discipline.

2. There are some good academic writers out there.

We’ve got one of the most educated populations in the world. Europe is only recently catching up to is in e.g. the percentage of people with college degrees.
A portion of your citizens were called to storm your nations capital by a President who refuses to accept the results of a democratic election. The very foundation of your democracy has been eroded. Do not pretend the people who are frightened of these actions are overreacting. Democracy is a fragile thing, and you have a portion of your population who attempted to take a hammer to it.

Don't pretend this is a narrative presented by the elite, I don't listen to your news, I don't read the opinions of your celebrities and newscasters, I watched the videos, I saw the discourse. I am not from your nation, and only have what I have seen from the people who were there and the videos they willingly uploaded to the internet, and the unedited footage of the speeches and the words of your president.

Your nation is in severe distress.
It's not the same thing (a lot less oppression of others involved in that) and critically it's not the same grouping of people; it's like how Congress has extremely low approval rates but people often support their specific incumbent.
> Subscriptions are rife with dark patterns.

Agreed. As some random internet person to another, there's not much I can do (that I haven't already done on my website) to try to convince you that I'll do my best to avoid grotty/slimy UX patterns: I'll make sure there's a warning email sent a couple days before any charges are applied, and easy cancellation via the website. The fact that much of the functionality remains when subscriptions lapse mean you only need to pay when you feel like you'd glean value.

> pinky promises of continued access to your own media

Well, that's why it's self-hosted. There's no trust you need to apply to the app: you can even use PhotoStructure with a read-only bind-mount to your assets directory to make sure it isn't doing anything nefarious.

No pinkies needed.

Seeking a client's still work though, nobody's working all the time. At least, if you're reducing sleep so that you can spend more waking hours on billable work, you should probably take a step back!

And I assume the starting point, 5h on $3, was an exaggeration. There's time for saving money, and there's money that's worth the time to save. My point really is that 5h doing non-work hobbies, spending time with family, or whatever, isn't a 'cost'. Not even necessarily an opportunity cost, since for that there had to be abundant supply, that doing it now doesn't mean you're not doing it next week, that there's always more already lined up 'for free'.

It seems very disingenuous to say "you don't even have to open a textbook" and then link to a quant finance blog doing partial derivatives. That's well beyond the level of math that the average person would consider self-evident.

I don't know anything about this blog^[0] , but I wanted to find some charts comparing a well known risk parity fund to more general portfiolios. Trusting that they're accurate, it looks like risk parity performed great in 2008, but hasn't beat the market over longer periods of time. Even measuring from 2007 to late 2020, it appears a 60/40 bond fund has beat it substantially.

Thus I'm not really sure what grounds there is to say risk parity beats the market. Certainly not by all measurements. I'm not a huge financial guy though, maybe I'm misunderstanding something?

I am claiming that the Nayirah testimony helped manufacture consent for US military involvement.

> I'm obviously not claiming that lying was invented in the last few years, so pointing out some lie that gained traction in the past doesn't really challenge anything I said.

You claimed that the problem of the last few years was blatant lies gaining traction in the marketplace of ideas. I am pointing out that lies have forever gained traction in the marketplace of ideas, while also being co-signed by authoritative news sources and politicians.

> If the truth (or interpretations approaching the truth) is a needle in a haystack, it's unlikely that many people will actually ever find it. That's a problem.

I agree, but I don't believe that restricting speech or massively censoring information is the correct solution. Or a solution at all.
You're correct, no Swat. I misunderstood the term raid that everyone has bandied about...

I am a limey brit. Is it normal over there for people serving a warrant for a non violent crime to draw and point their guns like that? To my foreign eyes it looks a bit nuts even if its not the full "battering ram and tear gas" I'd expected.

Seems like mostly just Mike Pence. Who was apparently (if you believe the angry mobs chants) going to be hung by the same people that elected him. Not exactly what I normally think of when I hear "coup" or "violent insurrection".

And at the same time, how different is that from people on the other end of the spectrum erecting a guillotine outside of Jeff Bezos' house?

Let's say there were people who support violently overthrowing US government (I personally don't think there were many at Capitol on Jan 6, but I am willing to entertain your point and even go much further than that). In fact, we know such people existed, long before today, but let's say there are more of them. How that changes anything? There always were hundreds of millions of people who would like nothing better than US government to fall. There were many governments actually falling, including as a result of violent - or non-violent - revolutions. Most of us who are out of elementary school probably could remember several examples they witnessed (hopefully not in person, but at least via the news). Somehow it didn't cause people to say "well, if that could happen, probably free speech is stupid, we just need to let our betters on Facebook/Twitter rule us now, people are clearly too stupid to handle free speech".

To be clear, I am not claiming those violent people are right or not supporting them. I am just surprised that existence of such people - which shouldn't be any news for anyone - suddenly makes somebody to give up on such core ideals as free speech, and not as a result of some civilization-shattering catastrophic event with millions of deaths but as a result of a TV picture.
"In 2010, DNA sequencing company Complete Genomics said that "an interruption of services by Amazon Web Services, on whom we rely to deliver finished genomic data to our customers, would result in our customers not receiving their data on time."

Gaming company Zynga warned about how its AWS foundation could quickly vanish when it filed the prospectus for its initial public offering in 2011.

"AWS may terminate the agreement without cause by providing 180 days prior written notice, and may terminate the agreement with 30 days prior written notice for cause, including any material default or breach of the agreement by us that we do not cure within the 30-day period," Zynga said.

AWS can even terminate or suspend its agreement with a customer immediately under certain circumstances as it did in 2010 with Wikileaks, pointing to violations of AWS' terms of service."

Wonder if they can cancel their government contracts so easily.

When people debate the merits of "on-prem" versus AWS on HN they rarely focus on the contract terms.
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean.

The strategy of this style of engagement is to take something someone already believes and connect it to something they don't believe in. This way you meet them where they are and lead into a discussion.
Healthcare system? More like moneycare system.

I like his idea and would've also been naive and idealistic to believe doctors want your best. However, you learn the hard way, even in Europe: doctors want your money.

If they get a lot of patients their goal is to minimize time with you. 5 minute consultation, prescribe an antibiotic without ordering a lab test to determine if it's even bacterial, next!

If they don't get a lot of patients, then diagnose something that requires multiple treatments or prescribe something that kinda helps but not completely. They'll come back to you sooner than later and TADA you have a "subscriber".
This isn't even close to how doctors prescribe medications. You don't prescribe meds without having a working diagnosis. Once you have that, you use the knowledge gained in med school and residency to pick the first line drug. If there are contraindications due to comorbidities (which there often are), you have to figure out what other meds you can use. You can consult online resources (e.g. UpToDate) to look up second, third, fourth line meds as well as advice on specific complicated scenarios.

Trial and error with prescription drugs without a diagnosis as you suggest is malpractice. Maybe you're specifically referring to psychiatry? That specialty is uniquely difficult since our understanding of psychiatric diseases is still murky. But even within psychiatry there are best practice guidelines on how to manage and treat different diseases.

Rights = Duties

Your rights can only be guaranteed if everyone, including you, fulfills their duty to respect the rights of others.

Exercising your freedom of speech and freedom of assembly in order to suppress the other people's right to vote and be represented, as well as using your freedom of assembly to take the lives of others, i.e.: their right to live; is in essence abusing your freedoms.

When you abuse your freedoms, you can expect to lose them.
