Yes, that's what preemptible spot pricing is; you pay a discounted rate for some compute time with the knowledge that you could be bumped out at any time.

Alternately, Amazon could lease time at an hourly rate which varies with available capacity; just raise the hourly rates around Christmas because you need them for your e-commerce site.
I had an account with AWS about 6 years for a small prototype and I closed it after using it for 1 month. However for some reason I got an email last November about a change to some certificates for either S3 or Cloudfront because my account used one of those services in the last 6 months.

I don't know if this is a mistake on their part, but I haven't been charged in the last 6 years or gotten any emails before that. But it's still worrying because the account is closed and I have no way through standard support to know why they think my account was using their services
A key point not being talked about enough is that the employees quit after being offered 6 months salary as severance, no questions asked. Heck a large chunk of the workforce of the best run company in the world would take up that offer. I imagine few of them actually cared too much about this whole saga.

Respectfully, I view these explanations as a retcon.

Race is a social construct and the reason these newspapers chose not to capitalize white was because it's historically been capitalized by white nationalists. It's also historically been capitalized by black nationalists. That's what ethno-fascists do. They reduce reality down to singular dimensions and obsess about them as they tell everyone to blame their problems on that reason.

Like they did in Germany they point to a group in that case the German Jews that is extremely culturally similar to another group that has less money per capita and then tell them that the explanation for these folks having more is they've taken it from you.

They spend decades creating an entire ideology and mythology around this notion.

Sound familiar?

I first noticed the capitalization of black when I was in college in the early 2000s and was enrolled in several black studies courses for my electives. A few extreme radicals there insisted on capitalizing black because they spent so much time around black nationalists.

I'm glad these journalistic institutions found a compelling explanation for doing what they were being told to do by activist groups. It's absurd and ridiculous and it looks like religion. What's next are they going to demand we all capitalize God too, like the oppressive evangelical churches of my childhood made me do? Those same churches also told me that I couldn't use the word lucky and I had to use the word blessed instead because that's what identitarians do:
They coerce your speech so they can coerce your thoughts.

I know this was a long rant but it's pretty awful to see this stuff get defended with anything looking like logic when it's absolutely not.
I grew up middle class, rural, and southern. So I don't have all the privileges in the world. But at the same time, I know that the privilege I lack is not because I am white. That is why when someone makes a negative comment about white people, it has very little affect on me. But hearing offensive comments/jokes about rednecks when I moved out west, that hurt a little, because there is some history behind that and maybe even a little truth. And that fact that I get lumped in with that stereotypical redneck idea is a bit hurtful. But it's nothing like the history behind being Black in America.

So no, it's not the same thing. Because context matters and who is saying it to whom matters.
I think demanding someone denounce white supremacy on demand seems kafkaesque.

You're only asked if you're perceived to have done or said something someone else thinks wrong...

Fund shareholders typically don’t show up to the shareholder meetings of the fund’s underlying holdings and don’t vote because the fund itself is the shareholder, rather than the fund’s shareholders. (If that makes sense...) So it did in a way keep the unsophisticated investors from exercising too much control but it did bring fund managers into the mix. Which is arguably worse. Hence BRK.B.

I agree with 99% of what this guy is saying but I'd like to know why he thinks GDPR was a huge win for Google and Facebook.

As far as I'm aware, GDPR legally restricts when sites can collect and store your information. Is the argument that we need to let everyone spy on you so they can compete on who can sell your information to advertisers? Like, no, that's really wrong. We need to be legally boxing in the advertising industry as much as possible. If that means Google and Facebook have the accidental advantage of being the only companies with enough of a relationship to their customers to continue selling ad profiles, then so be it.

So an elastic IP is just an AWS provided IP that they hand over to you... it's free while your instance is running but if you stop your instance, you get a small bill (it's like $0.84 a month)
GCP has a spending limit, but it is by no means transparent[0]

Basically you add a budget to your project, create a pub/sub channel, then make a lambda that subscribes to the channel and turns off billing when it receives an overbudget message to shut everything down.

Or you could integrate it into your project directly to handle this more gracefully.

You can even send a test message, to check that everything does indeed shut down, but the whole process is extremely clunky and error-prone.

My take on this whole saga is – don’t offer your employees (who get no equity) 6 months salary to quit, no questions asked, and be surprised when a lot of them take you up on it. It would be idiotic not to in the current software job market.

This is a brilliant observation. As a 50+ "adult" I avoid the news media. My parents used to sit and watch the news with us, I would never do that today.

From what I can tell, BRK has not been remarkable for at least 10 years now. Or at least since the Goldman deal where Buffett famously got a discount. In fact, I’m pretty sure Buffett lost out on a ton of growth because he was anti tech for a while, since he liked to claim he did not invest in businesses he did not understand.

I doubt the insurance companies are driving BRK’s price growth anyway. The biggest contributor is probably his stake in Apple.

Any broad market index fund ETF probably did just as well, if not better.

That's a lot of data to transmit via satellite and satellite bandwidth is expensive. Most planes don't crash into the middle of the ocean with all of the transponders turned off so it's an expensive solution for a very rare problem. Satellite-based ADS-B seems to be the future going forward. Everyone can see a plane out in the middle of the ocean and can immediately know where to look if it happens to go down.
I have no clue why an organizer would try and edit (censor?) a speaker's presentation. They were invited for a reason, let them talk! The audience is perfectly capable of coming up with their own conclusion about whether the speaker's points are valid.

> the amount of compute resources and electricity that would be needed to power real time billing at AWS scale would be astronomical

You don't have to bill in real time.

You just have to provision funding for every resource except network bandwidth.

Customer sets a monthly spend limit. Every time they start up an instance, create a volume, allocate an IP, or do anything else that costs money, you subtract the monthly cost of that new thing from their spend limit. If the spend limit would go negative, you refuse to create the new resource.

If the spend limit is still positive, the remaining amount is divided by the number of seconds remaining in the month times the bandwidth cost. The result becomes that customer's network throughput limit. Update that setting in your routers (qdisc in Linux) as part of the API call that allocated a resource. If you claim your routers don't have a limit like this I call shenanighans.

This should work perfectly for one region.

There's probably a way to generalize it to multiple regions, but I'm sure most small/medium customers would be happy enough to have a budget for each region. They'd probably set most regions' budget to zero and just worry about one or two.

The web UI probably would need to be updated to show the customer "here is what your bandwidth limit for the rest of the month will be if you proceed; are you sure?". JSON APIs can return this value when invoked in dry-run mode.

That's exactly what you are doing. In a large majority of the cases. You can lookup security videos all day long on youtube, thieves will commonly go door to door just looking for an unlocked door or more often, car to car looking for an unlocked door so they can steal the contents.
The answer is randomness. It's largely random which submission of a story gets liftoff from /newest. That's why we allow reposts—we want good stories to get multiple cracks at the bat.

I realize it's frustrating when your submission 'loses' and someone else's 'wins', but since it's random, it at least evens out in the long run if you submit lots of good stories.

Eventually we'll implement some sort of karma sharing to take care of this.

How do you know this? What else would the brain be if not a computer, and if you agree that it is a computer, why do you believe it doesn't have some equivalent of "software"?

Sure, the distinction is somewhat fuzzy, though there can be clear cut cases as well.
It means little and less. Russia has been disconnected before and it didn’t last for very long.

I agree with you 100%.

Utilization of the pyramid of hate in this way makes me feel like it's just a retroactive justification of hypersensitive behavior amongst overly fragile employees. Honestly a lot of times it's not even hypersensitivity so much is just overt paranoia.

You're on the money about encouraging people to form their identities around these characteristics.

Instead of having a conversation about excessive police militarization and police brutality directed at all American citizens we had it around one group. In the US 75% of the people killed by police each year are not black and nobody knows their names because the media has caused Americans to think that it's a issue unique to, rather than disproportionate for black Americans.

Instead of having a unifying and inclusive movement for police reform we got a politically weaponized racially polarizing movement.

I grew up on the border of France and Switzerland. My dad worked at CERN in Switzerland, was paid in Swiss francs, and had Swiss health insurance. Houses were cheaper in France, so they live in the Pays de Gex and crossed the border every day.

I was born in Switzerland. I was smuggled to France when I was a few days old so my parents could take me home. I got a passport a few months later, with a baby photo. I went to school in Switzerland, 20 minutes from the house. I had to take my passport to school, though we had a "frontalier" card that we'd show in the car windscreen so we'd rarely be stopped by border guards. It was a Schengen external border until 2007, though!

There are many stories of people getting stuck at that border for forgetting their ID, or phones connecting to the wrong transmitter causing people to get 3000 EUR phone bills for roaming data. My first kiss was on that border though, so I have quite fond memories of it!

The problem of growing up there is that I can't be Swiss - my parents weren't resident. I can't be French either - I wasn't born there. So my passport is British by descent. Children cannot be British from me, because I wasn't born in the UK. If I wanted to continue living in Geneva, children would be stateless.

That started me on a long journey of trying to find a new country. I went off to university, and proceeded to live in the UK, USA, Switzerland, Taiwan, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Austria, Netherlands, China, and India. In 2013 I decided that I wanted to move to New Zealand, but the process of moving here has been so slow (getting work experience in Taiwan, waiting 2 years for a case officer to evaluate my SMC visa, finding a new job that pays enough to satisfy Immigration), means that I only just got residency at age 31. (Children born in NZ can now be citizens, which will allow me to get married in future). Hopefully by age 36 I'll finally have a passport and a country to really call home.
It isn't just these companies. It's most of them. The number of "good" companies is minuscule. Leaving one of these companies for another slightly less evil (or maybe more evil - just less powerful) one won't result in any good being done. Modern capitalism is crooked, and these individuals can't "fix" the problem. Play the game, but work to fix it. Until it's fixed, your life depends on playing it.
Yes, the point is that "black" is no more a cultural identity than "white" is. There are black Americans, black Englishmen, black Africans, etc.

> You point out that this is part of a pattern of societal behavior you’ve known your whole life.

Sure, as a poc I can empathize with this but to then escalate it beyond "hey this sucks, let's stop, let's be better humans" to godwinning it with real atrocities in the outside world is toxic to the workplace. I would not want to work at a place where a POC of my own color was constantly making everything out to be a racial issue, and saying that my colleagues were the worst and equating them to literal terrorists and nazis because they did an ignorant thing here or there, not the least because I'm sure that even as a conscientious person I make mistakes from time to time and I'd rather be treated with forgiveness than blame.

Being treated with forgiveness instead of blame goes for technical stuff and incident management, too. If you start doing this with social issues 100% the culture of blame will bleed over into the technical issues and it won't be pretty.

That counter may well not exist outside of billing for longer than it takes to batch some records together. It will need to be shared and synchronized with the rest of the fleet, the other fleets in the availability zone, the other zones in the region, the other regions, and every other service in AWS. There are strict rules about crossing these boundaries for sake of failure isolation.

As an amusing extra sticking point, your service has no idea how much it actually costs, because that's calculated by billing- the rates may vary from request to request or from customer to customer.

Without spending way too long thinking about it, the complexity in figuring out exactly when to stop is significant enough that it probably cannot practically be done in the critical path of these kinds of high-volume systems, hence the reactive approach being more plausible to me.

I don't know what kinds of problems AT&T has, but at the risk of saying dumb things about an industry I know next to nothing about, your phone is only attached to one tower at a time, and that probably helps a bit. And I'm not sure when it wouldn't be simpler and just as good for them to also react after the fact, anyway.

This is of course the worst take. When I was in 4th grade we had to read a short story about a society that enforced sameness, it wasn’t the giver where they did it genetically, rather if you were smart they’d fix headphones to your ears that played a loud obnoxious noise so you couldn’t think, if you were tall or athletic they crippled you, basically they brought everyone down to the same bad level...

That’s the society you’re trying to build.

Until AWS fixes this the best thing to do is just use their service as little as possible. There are plenty of other cloud providers out there these days which don't employ this hostile practice.

I closed an AWS account for this reason just a few days ago, we hadn't used it for a while but there was no clear way to remove our credit card so it felt like a risk just to have it open, what if a developer logs in to mess around and accidentally flips some switch that smacks us with a charge of a couple grand... unlikely, sure, but the fact that it's even possible is terrible system design. Better to just nuke the account and move on to other cloud providers that don't make it harder for me to sleep at night.
