It's possible.

But heroku charges a pretty big multiplier over the underlying AWS resources and does a pretty large volume (I don't know if the numbers are public, so I could be wrong, but my sense is they have a LOT of customers).

It seems likely to me that their prices are more about "what the market will bear" than about what they need to support the business. There's nothing wrong with that, nobody's forcing any customers to pay for heroku, the customers think the value is there.

It just makes me surprised that nobody's competing effectively on price. Which may mean I'm wrong and you are right. But there could also be other explanations.

If they HAD competitors offering the same thing, we might think that the competitors were forced to compete on price so all maybe were charging the least they could to support the business. At least that's the theory. But that they have no real competitors offering quite what they're offering... when what they're offering has been so successful... is surprising to me.

Maybe it's just hard to create something as high-quality as heroku Or to do it without funding, or to get funding for it?
> In Python (and Ruby?), all integers are arbitrary-precision

IIRC, both (well, CPython and MRI) internally use distinct “small integer” and “big integer" representations, but that is transparent to the user. I'd imagine that they different low-level operations are involved depending on the internal type.
I've lived in several shithole places, as our ex-prez would say, and I've learned that you can have a grand old time just about anywhere as long as you have good friends to spend the time with.
Much like Panamax being the largest ship size which can traverse the Panama canal, there's a corresponding Suezmax[1]. Sort of like the old story of the Space Shuttle's SRB size being dictated by old Roman road design, it's interesting how modern design is influenced by historical limitations we might not consider.
> hacker focused complaints

Most people I've seen who I would consider hackers have web sites that don't do all the things you're complaining about.

I hate the "throw on another library, and stack some ads" attitude as much as anyone else, but AMP isn't the way. I would be less offended if Google had just down-ranked pages with heavy JS load, and boosted pages that didn't move content around.
I think they just wanted to stick a pun in there.
A lot of CO2 and sulfuric acid is not a problem, it is an opportunity. CO2 means a lot of carbon, and oxygen, sulfuric acid means a lot of sulfur, oxygen and hydrogen.

Oxygen and hydrogen is water. Carbon is life and is solid.

We just need to engineer a process that can use solar energy to convert these substances into some more interesting form. Perhaps some engineered bacteria could do the trick?
Could you perhaps elaborate?
This varies a lot according to the area.

Quite common in Biology and Chemistry.

Less common in theoretical physics.
> Gibson’s home country of Ireland is hoping to belatedly recognize her legacy, reports Orla Barry for public radio program the World. The Dublin City Council recently passed a motion giving initial approval for the installation of a plaque in Gibson’s honor.

Is it a good policy for a nation to glorify and honor an attempt at assassinating the leader of a nation? Compare to John Brown the abolitionist, who raided a federal armory in an attempt to start a slave revolt (and was executed for treason). Might it be better to say "don't do these things no matter how important you think your cause is"?
Reddit only hires the best. Did anybody prove out the u/maxwellhill hypothesis yet?
Being too big to fail is a testament to a working beautocracy. Before, things would just fail no matter how precious.
I agree with this in many cases, but I read some of the Hutter Prize documentation and it seems like the people running the prize have very specific reasons for neglecting compressor and decompressor runtimes for this contest (although I'm not sure I could do justice to them).
From a business perspective, decompression complexity wouldn’t be the biggest issue if it didn’t cause a noticeable slowdown in processing on the client (the one decompressing). At a SaaS for example, if you can save 30% on outbound transfer, it might be worth a +10ms time-to-paint
Old phones didn’t tell you when someone hung up. It took a few minutes for the phone to make an annoying beep that there was no longer a connection. This used to happen quite a bit back in the day...

Or...a scientist's reputation can also be bolstered by how many papers they are able to reproduce, or debunk.

Debunking science also brings value to science. The incentivizes of the system needs to change.

As an analogy, performing code review brings value to software development.
He lied to investigators when he was arrested and continued to do so until they laid out all the evidence that they had against him. The timeline of his turnaround is also absurdly short (he continued to sell his malware until a couple of months before he "turned hero") and the malware he took down was literally his competition.

What you posted is a good story to tell though. Turning your life around after doing dumb shit in your real name and getting caught is plenty convenient but not worthy of hero worship.

The only reason MalwareTech served no time is because Ollam and his wife used their influence, political connections and their bank accounts to lobby aggressively on his behalf.
I mean, that’s life? Sure, doubling my money in every investment is great, but unrealistic. Plenty of strategies work as long as every does it and everything works perfectly. The problem is finding a strategy that works in the real world. Lockdowns failed because they weren’t the right solution, because reality is what it is and they weren’t calibrated for the reality that locking down everyone’s lives for a month simply isn’t realistic at all.

I think this was obvious to everyone on some level even early in the pandemic, but the politicization of the pandemic meant safety theater and then blaming the noncompliant was the play, when a winning strategy was probably more like: protect the vulnerable, be completely transparent with the people about the dangers, make accommodations to minimize unnecessary risks (no sit in dining, close non essentials, sanitize often), then let people make their own risk calculations based on the available evidence and their own situation, taking steps to ensure their decisions don’t affect others as much as possible.

A realistic strategy should have been the go-to, not some ideal strategy that only works in dreams.
> I will briefly summarize the plot of Back to the Future II for you.

I am so okay with that one.
omg i actually didn't even notice the pun.

That doesn't make me happier with their science-ing though.
That's actually how phones used to work for the person who was called; the connection would remain until the caller hung up (or some fairly long timeout after the callee hung up). There were various party-tricks one could do that way (e.g. prep a phone with a friend calling you, hang up, then bet someone that if they give you a name, you can dial a person with that name).
The vast majority of soy produced in the world is used for animal feed (~80%, IIRC). Eating the soy directly requires less soy overall than continuously feeding it to animals and eventually eating the animals.
Performative anti-bigotry is just bigotry afterall.
> I once worked with a guy that looked just like you. He was a normal human with a family. Are you a normal human with a family?

This is EXACTLY something an AI would say!

As a human I find it very humorous. Very humorous indeed.
The "clockwork" view is objectively incorrect due to being the wrong scale. (Some) Accurate scale models of the solar system get played out across city blocks.

If it's a tinkertoy style model or a drawing within a book, it's made up BS. There are no books large enough to actually show it to scale.

Edit: For the pedants of the world, I have added "(Some)" to my sentence. "Not all accurate scale models" of course. Some are even larger than that.

2nd edit: Folding another comment in here as well that I deleted :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_model

The Sweden solar system scale is listed as 1:20,000,000. Others have used a different scale and been fit into less than an entire country. There are several around the world.

In York, it is spread across 6.4 miles:

For those who enjoy podcasts, 99% Invisible talked about this in an episode last year.

It’s an excellent show covering a broad swatch of topics. I generally learn things from their reporting. The episode on Froebel blocks was captivating to me. I’m awaiting my niece’s third bday to buy her a set (choking hazard).
Launching a new game: Should you announce only on release?
Half of Americans can't even wear masks.
Yep. The US never had “real” lockdowns, except for a few weeks last March and April.
I used to set points every paragraph in my blog, where once it came into the viewport would let me know how far down the page people got. It was very insightful to write better blog posts. Letting people know when someone closed a tab, changed networks, or who knows what with the network isn’t any useful information.
I got rejected from YC b/c they hated my product despite it doing >$100K/month at the time. It honestly felt like a big waste of time flying out and then getting told they didn't like my flavor of cannabis company.

The value I see in YC is the network, not the money nor the advice. The money is poorly priced for the equity and the advice is all online. Knowing people who can help you do things you need to do is basically all business is. Knowing higher quality people helps you get done things faster without it feeling like as much of a grind.

Back to the question of scaling YC. IMO, scaling YC isn't really about the quality of companies but the quality of people. I'm honestly not sure. Maybe, but it's a risk. Staying the same size and focusing on refinement is less of a risk. Why YC as an organization needs to take a risk as opposed to staying the same is probably more a reflection of the ambitions of the partners and investors more than anything.
Except, if not for environmentalism, this mess would not exist.
First Design Purpose is the beginning and ending reality; That there is an apparent evolution to it's teleological process is an observation, and as such the apparent end purpose changes as further points of information come to light.

To highlight this point, and, to gather relevant insight from the article, one only needs to understand what technology's First Design Purpose was/is: 'To make our life better', and, the author makes this point very clear, to the extend that technology makes our life better, to the end technology will survive (in a equitable fashion that is).

Throughout history, all inequities of all stripes have been countered by nature, if by none other than the ingrained natural will of humans to survive in a equitable fashion with their peers as a First Purpose.

Without this First Design Purpose of humans to survive, in an equitable fashion, the human species would self-annihilate, and since annihilation serves no good purpose, the brutal force of nature is set loose to decisively deal with the inequities.
Isn’t the potential market opportunity and big positive externalities the innovation prize? If you figure out how to turn zebra mussels into cat food, you’ll be rich. Or you won’t and there was no potential marketing opportunity and the positive externalities weren’t that big.
This has been done since at least ancient history, and is referred to as Damnatio Memoriae[1]

> Damnatio memoriae is a modern Latin phrase meaning "condemnation of memory", indicating that a person is to be excluded from official accounts. There are and have been many routes to damnatio memoriae, including the destruction of depictions, the removal of names from inscriptions and documents, and even large-scale rewritings of history. The term can be applied to other instances of official scrubbing; the practice is seen as long ago as the aftermath of the reign of the Egyptian Pharaohs Akhenaten in the 13th century BC, and Hatshepsut in the 14th century BC.

I can't say I particularly agree with the practice though.

They have politics, but (in the absence of parties) not partisanship in the narrow sense. Elections and parties aren't politics, they are just key mechanisms of politics in liberal democratic states.
Somehow, trying to find specific graphql/apollo solutions I run into 3 blocked medium articles before I can find something open. A little niche of course, but not something that should be served up by google... I suspect (and hope) their very nice SEO of the last years will finally go the way of the experts exchange of old, and re-promote small bloggers who are excited to share what they have learned.
Oh it is a riddle. That's $126 on standard hours (40 per week).
South Korea has had a relatively small number of COVID cases.

Kindergartens, schools, universities, cinemas, gyms were closed soon after the outbreak with schools and universities having online classes.

You're mixing up cause and effect. South Korea has definitely considered lock down measures as cased increased but so far they haven't needed to.

Not only is hospital overcapacity location-dependent but so have been the location and severity of the lock downs around the world. Every few weeks where I am from the restrictions are re-considered based on the rate of infection, etc.
I think the average pressure should stay about the same because the mass stays the same, but if it compresses maybe the pressure goes up in low-lying areas and goes down at higher altitudes.

According to Wikipedia, CO2 can liquify at around 5 atmospheres, though it has to be pretty cold at that pressure. The phase diagram shows it as a liquid around room temperature (300K or so) at about a hundred atmospheres. Which makes a liquid ocean of CO2 is at least sort of plausible if the temperature drops far enough.

It would seem that the cost of producing the soup would also have to have been kept regulated before 1974. Farm subsidies kept tomato prices down?
Yes the lake looks cleaner from a distance, but this isn’t a good thing.

“Clearer is not necessarily better,” said Robert Shuchman, co-director of the Michigan Tech Research Institute. “Clearer water means less phytoplankton in the water column, and they’re the basic building block in the food web. The idea is, the little fish eat algae, and the bigger fish eat the little fish.
Yes.

There are well-known places where we think the armor might be weak and we're trying all of them roughly equally. The moment someone finds an actual hole in the armor, a lot of people will jump in and hammer on that one in particular.

The key properties of the weak points are:

a) We have to be able to hit it there in a meaningful way

b) Anywhere that we expend millions of dollars and oodles of people-years of work to look for holes, we have to be capable of verifying that a possible-hole is an actual-hole.

This particular anomaly scores pretty well on b). If they have a clean signal there, then it is a pretty big deal.
We mainly capture GC metrics and alert on them. One good thing that happened is there is no longer GC related alerts happening in production anymore. Also tail latency for API calls from kibana to ES improved.

148 is the h-index, which is defined as the maximum value of h such that the author has published h papers that have each been cited at least h times. (from Wikipedia).

What exactly happened? Towards the end the article it states "While Japan, a country of 126 million people, has experienced a relatively small coronavirus outbreak – with 170,158 cases 2,500 deaths – doctors have warned that the recent sharp rise in infections could overwhelm hospitals."

Didn't end up overwhelming hospitals, in fact everyone was constantly warned about overwhelming hospitals but it just didn't happen. A boggeyman used to scare and people.
No, the Philippines don’t have more mass shootings than the US. Not even close. People seem to define “mass shooting” quite differently but no, your unsourced claim the Philippines isn’t the leader.

I find the name “political correctness” pretty funny these days in the era of Trump, Modi, and Bolsonaro. It used to mean the kind of guarded speech that politicians had to use to protect their careers. But now we’ve seen that you can literally say whatever the fuck you want as a politician and there are no consequences.
Only familiar with much, much smaller boats - but that's not unusual for station-keeping (or anchoring, but I expect a moon-shaped track at anchor). To be super clear, I'm extrapolating from 30ft boats, I could be wildly wrong in any of this.

In a nutshell you don't stay still, you drift around with wind and currents (and breeze-block shaped ships have a lot of windage!). So you drift off station, motor back, rinse repeat. ('Station' is usually a box you're bound to rather than a point you try to hit, for exactly this reason)

Anchor isn't much different - a cargo ship in an anchorage isn't a static fixture, it's realistically the world's largest windsock.

Compare another ship waiting in the same area - https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9811000 Hit the "Track" button on the sidebar (under the photo of the ship), and you'll see a similar history. Theirs is tighter, but that could simply be a product of it getting crowded. I'd expect EG's arrival to be more planned, less chaotic - arrive, assemble the convoy, join the queue and go.
Competition is always better and welcomed.

But I really don't understand what edge google offers other products. If anything, I am always really wary about google and their products. People might say that enterprise services are different, and it's different from free services where if you're not paying you can't expect anything, but there's been paid services by google that have been absolutely terrible like stadia. There's something wrong with Google as a company that I can't think of much that they've done recently that seems solid. There's a reason why managers get paid high salaries, because it starts at the top and flows down.

At the very least the marketing for gcp could make it clearer what exactly it's offering that's better: price, ease of management, etc. Because nobody is going to get fired for choosing AWS so there has to be a real clear incentive other than some small technical improvements that don't matter at scale.
There's a lot of fakery in the world. Perhaps its because we want to pretend we are better than we actually are.

You can get fake teeth, fake hair, fake boobs, fake tan, fake muscles, support fake charities that take 98% for themselves. Read fake news and vote for fake politicians that will tell you sweet lies to make your fake self feel better.
Fakery is only growing more popular.
I've taken taxis, taken a group Uber, gone to restaurants and otherwise been living normally in Taiwan this week.

The only place I've been stopped for a temperature check was entering a large mall. Similarly, caughing when having a spicy soup hasn't resulted in getting carted off to a hospital.

A fever while going through immigration at the airport would probably trigger a medical check of some kind, though (along with the normal 14 day quarantine).
Ditto, it’s a handout to agribusiness, worsens fuel quality, and has a very debatable benefit otherwise.

I wish we would plan ahead and try a solar shield at L1. If we cooled the planet sufficiently, the CO2 would solidify and we could get to work processing it. Venus is far more interesting than the dusty little rock we keep probing. Sure, it may take a millenium, but the sooner we start, the sooner we finish.
Alternatively, Microsoft could acquire the x86 business from Intel and then invest in Intel as a dedicated foundry.

Although, that raises the question of whether MS would be better off staying married to x86 long-term or moving in the direction of Apple Silicon / Rosetta. I'm inclined to think that they would be best served by sticking with x86 long-term for the sake of optimal backwards-compatibility, so long as there isn't some inherent reason for the x86 instruction set to be dramatically less efficient than ARM. I don't see why they couldn't ultimately catch up to or at least become competitive with Apple by pushing development and adoption of x86 SOCs alongside standards like Evo, which their taking over the business could potentially help accelerate.
I think I adequately covered contamination when I mentioned the atmosphere and the possibility of the helium being captured in the bulk of the apparatus already. As to the last two, those are an objection you could point at, well, every experiment in the history of science and are therefore not really worthy of mention.
I agree in most cases it's not too bad.

But are there any packets still flowing? What if you close a site, then an attacker starts passively sniffing your traffic. If browsers didn't keep the connection open, the attacker wouldn't be able to know what sites you visited. By keeping the connection open, I think it allows the attacker to know the IPs of the sites you visited (and thus maybe know the sites).
