The solution, assuming they actually want one, is really simple: setup a Vickrey–Clarke–Groves auction.

Frankly, I doubt the premise, though. Conventions are basically advertisement, and I suspect the chaos regarding prices is actually part of the plan all along.
How sustainable is that though - I've worked places that had thousands of CRM users with lots of integration and storage requirements. I'd be fairly suspicious of a vendor saying they could host that for $99.50 a month. Maybe its possible, but I'd have my doubts.

Edit: Part of the basic due diligence in any enterprise considering any software product, but especially a SaaS product, is how likely the vendor is to still be there in a number of years. Unusually low prices tend to make people suspicious of long term viability.
No, that wouldn't affect your h-index at all.

Improvements in build-time are very valuable to me. But I'm not sure if a cloud would help me much. Synching can easily eat up 10s. Also my tools are very unique (including a parser that I wrote myself).

To be faster than local a cloud would have to be massively overclocked - and I can already reach good results locally.

For actual improvements I need a massive improvement in compiler technology (last time I looked there were just too many single-threaded bottlenecks in my build process). Nothing a cloud can solve for me.

Security is one issue - but hackers will most likely only get confused when they try to understand what is going on - also costs I usually don't like...

I think they're missing out on the fact that the alternative is having to check PAX ticket availability for all eternity. Scalping is apparently a huge enough problem that they're subjecting people to this instead of announcing ticket sale times or doing a lottery (which are kind of mechanically the same) but hey, other people's time is free.

Also funny: "PAX Prime prices hit a record high as organizers eliminate all-weekend passes" which means they have raised prices while also trying to disguise it.

Well I doubt anyone here doesn’t understand where babies come from, and hence what sexual biology is about.

You are a male person who wishes to present and live as (I assume) a stereotypically feminine woman.

As I understand trans ideology, living and presenting is inadequate - the dysphoria / drive to be a woman - requires affirmed acceptance of full womanhood.

This brings transwomen into direct identity conflict with women who define their womanhood in terms of sex (potential motherhood, and consequences thereof) and women for whom femininity is not an important aspect of their individuality.

> I really want to do better things with my life than deal with a bunch of boundary cops.

“Females want to better things with their lives than deal with people who wish to corral them within a reconstituted gender defined boundary mainly for the psychological benefit of members of an oppressor class (entitled males)” - is the other side of that coin.
Hmm, true, I guess I was thinking of the dates for motion pictures and conflated the two.
There are three problems.

1. Your problem is not big enough to justify it (CPU cores aren't idle because people are evil, there just isnt enough work in the first place)

2. Companies don't spend money on performance optimizations unless they have to (parallelism is just an optimization for your boss)

3. Not every problem can be divided easily, requiring contortions that are only understood by people who specialize in parallel programming
How to effectively test startup ideas
I've tested multiple startup ideas over the past year. So below is key learning I got from my failed attempts for anyone else who tries to do the same. I hope it saves you a bunch of time.

Remember, the only thing you can control when just starting up is the rate of iteration. But even if you iterate fast enough, you still have to judge your efforts based on the right criteria.

In fact, testing startup ideas can be tricky. You need to test your riskiest assumption first and choose the right metric to determine success/failure.

Contrary to a popular view, the number of customers received is not a reliable metric, as these can be casual customers.

From my experience of testing 10+ ideas, the most important criterion for building a scalable business is a conversion rate (CR).

You should be measuring CR not from a site visitor into a customer, but from a post/ad/message view into a paid user. This is a more reliable measure of how many customers you can potentially get in the future.

Back-of-the-envelope example

If we're to make a product offering internships to students, we shouldn't start from running Fb ads. It's better to choose a specific university and advertise on its forum/group chat first. Another approach could be going to the campus yourself and recruiting potential trainees manually, practicing the art of persuasion.

If we don't see any meaningful effect (conversions vs reach), it means that we'd see the same at scale. In other words, our product value prop is unconvincing at best.

What should I remember?

When testing your startup's riskiest hypothesis, you need to forcibly narrow your reach to measure and test CRs.

Because if you don't do it, it's likely that during the testing you'd cover almost the entire audience available in that channel. At this point, any further investment of money or time won't produce any proportional increase in customers, because you'll be hitting into the same people over and over again.

Flow 1: user wants extension, clicks the browser addons button, searches for it, clicks install. Updates are automatic.

Flow 2: user wants extension, searches in Google, finds a third-party website, clicks download, downloads file, runs file, gets warning that the exension is untrusted, clicks install anyway. Repeat for every update.

Still don't think the average person wouldn't truat Flow 2 less? Or, to look at it from the other side: wouldn't the fact it was removed by Google make people suspicious of the addon? What was it doing that was so bad that even a garbage pile like the Chrome Store dropped it.

I think it’s important to be specific. Probably it was not who we think of when we say “googlers”, but rather it was upper management within Google.

His death was not an “assassination attempt”, but an instance of rough military justice. He was detained while trying to escape a country his troops had lost control of, and subsequently executed. This was (and is) a common instance in military conflicts.

@addWithOverflow is easy to implement in C, but you still need to look at the assembler code to see if the compiler did the right thing.

I don't like that tension between C code you've arranged in just the right way and hoping that it continues to generate the assembler output it did once.

I guess a portable set of compiler intrinsics it what is really needed to solve this problem.

There is an x86 intrinsic for 32 x 32 -> 64 bit multiply now-a-days

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/intrinsics/emul-emulu?v...

And one for 32 + 32 -> 32 + carry also.

This is not entirely true. Firstly because Lambda keeps getting cheaper with the move from per 100ms billing to pwe 1ms being a big contributor. but also that I see organizations handling millions of requests per hour at peak but because of the dynamic nature of Lambda, any cost increase during the peaks are entirely offset by the reduced cost during low traffic periods since Lambda and associated services cost $0 when its doing nothing. Add in other services that act the same way such as S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, etc and you have a very powerful, redundant and scalable applications without even really trying. No to mention that because spinning things out is so quick you can get a feature in front of users earning revenue way faster than any traditional service that requires some effort to start up, configure and maintain. And the costs associated with having VM's of the right size up to handle peak loads that are much slower to ramp up and down, creating significant periods of over provisioned capacity you pay for.

Lambdas are not slow to boot because of the methods used to tune how hot they stay; in a production application doing millions of invocations a day we saw 0.03 % of all invocations suffering a cold start that added an additional 100ms latency only. And if you absolutly have to have warm Lambdas always for even that 0.03% you can use provisioned concurrency that always keeps a certain number of Lambda functions warm.

Back in the day, I used to visit a support group for people with social phobia. Part of the therapy was engaging in so-called 'expositions', whose goal was to internalize the fact that even if you talk to a random stranger, hold a conversation with another human for a few minutes or initiate small talk with a random girl and make a slight moron of yourself (gulp!), the world will keep on spinning and you will probably not die.

Lava seems to destroy everything. Tectonic plates shifting would eventually turn everything over.

If the Venusians ever became atomic, and then space faring, then the best way to find evidence of them is probably in their ancient technology in space. Maybe dead satellites floating around the sun in a stable orbit. Or floating around in a geosynchronous orbit around Venus itself.

Or maybe they even sent spacecrafts to other outer planets, like Earth or Mars. I would look there, to find ancient alien Venusian technology.

You want to run a transaction in production and you're unsure about the impact because it might take a lock and block other transactions for some time. In that case you may want to spin up a separate database with fake data and test it there first.

You could create a new database and restore a production backup instead of using fake data but that might not be allowed or require some kind of approval due to rules protecting the privacy of customers or employees.
This can generally fall under the category of “Generate Test Data in SQL” with both generic techniques like Recursive CTEs, as in the OP, and SQL dialect or tool specific options. Search is your friend. The OP also provides a table lookup technique for readable names but doesn’t address other data types such as timestamps or other functions such as MD5(). Other data distribution techniques other than random may also be needed. This post scratches the surface of testing with generated data.

> Researchers are judged on published papers? Publish papers that appear just good enough to be published, ignore everything else. Products are bought based on looks on price? Make a cheap product that appears just good enough to be sold, ignore everything else.

This is just the result of very strong competition.

The only reason things aren't crap in other places is because things are less competitive (due to lower stakes) and people have a desire to make good things (particularly if they have strong cultural values relating to this) and do good work which can rise to the top of the priority list if competition isn't too fierce.

The stakes in China are high and were even higher in the past. And values of quality have been sacrificed due to how high competition was back then and those who sacrificed quality are now successful, leading others to immitate them. Quality is likely to improve in the future once people become more secure and the people who were most ruthless in the most competitive times start dying off.

I definitely ran into some serialization issues when trying Piscina a while ago. Returning generated images from the workers would keep getting slower and slower until the overhead of data exchange was 20x the time it took to generate it.

I discovered through trial and error that returning image bytes directly would incur this ever increasing overhead, btu creating a binary buffer and returning that would not. It was just a pet weekend project, so I never did discover what was causing the issue.

I agree with you there. For my stealth browser I decided to go with a different JSON based format [1] that can rewrite the URL parameters via wildcards (for both * at the start and end of both key and val).

It has the idea that you can audit a website and only list the allowed parameters there, so that a website search or sorting order or filters can still work.

I built my browser on an allowlist based concept because it seemed too impossible to maintain all bad urls, domains, parameters on the web. Most websites have more tracking than content in them, so I decided on maintaining lists to select the content rather than the ads and trackers.
