I don't think it has anything to do with wanting to collect money from accidents. That's not very reliable revenue anyways. That's just an unfortunate side effect for us plebs.

The real reason is that if you give companies a budget feature, they will inevitably, you know, use it. They'll set a budget that seems 'reasonable', and then freak out when everything turns off when it's exceeded, and then go raise it a little bit, and repeat the cycle.

Compare that to now where every place I've ever worked basically seems to forget that cloud hosting costs even exist, based on how much most companies balk at paying for simple SaaS tools for developers but will happily let the hosting costs grow to astronomical amounts. They're happy to do it cause they just see a line item and accept it. If you give them budgets, that won't happen any more.

Whilst the initiative is good, in practice the real impact will be upon those who need a car due to location or health reasons. So their merge mileage will be just as impacted per mile as those who do excess mileage and gets down to those that can pay, pay for it.

Equally this takes into no account, how heavy the vechile is, or indeed how impacting enviromentally it is. It add's no incentive at all, and equally, a light small efficient vehicle will be less impacting upon road upkeep than a heavy HGV.

Now - what I feel is needed is a quota system in which you get a mileage quota and if you go over that, you pay per extra mile.

What are the impacts beyond this - well, this does lay down the foundation to make roads in effect virtual toll-roads and that may well for good or bad, may well incentive private roads now a consumer base has been more conditioned to paying for usage of a road.

The only valid argument I have seen for a wide adoption of crypto is in countries where the local currency is unusable: corrupt central bank, hyperinflation, high rates of counterfeits, low access to banks. I actually see that then some form of crypto is preferred.

> Hopefully the API cost is reasonable or free with limits

If the model was open source you could have an API market where providers competed to build the most economic service just like virtual machine companies do with Linux. If there is only one API then everyone is stuck with them and just has to hope they don't change the prices.

There is practical concern for researchers within the possibility that what costs you $0.05 to run today will cost you $500 tomorrow (see Google Maps API for when this actually happened).

The users who actually pay AWS decent money or are likely to pay AWS decent money in the future don't ask for this afaik. People paying $5/month for AWS aren't AWS's target audience and likely contribute negligible revenue to AWS.

People do ask for alerting and monitoring but that's not a hard stop.

Then you get complex issues such as S3 and EBS. As long as there is data you will keep paying so what do you do? Have a hard limit but not really since it doesn't cover them? Delete people's data?

My cocaine and heroin using friends slowly started dying in 2013. We didn't know it was fentanyl-contamination at first.

It's grown completely out of control and it seems like every few weeks I learn of someone else dying.

A few years back, NYC shut down several methadone clinics and open-air heroin dealing has run rampant throughout parts of the city around where the closed clinics (like Penn Station) were. Certainly not helping matters.

The party is officially over for me and has been for years now. The risks are too high.

Please, if you have friends that use, urge them to stop -- by any means necessary.

AWS sorta has something like this already with CloudWatch, but it'd be nice if it was simpler and immediate instead of reactive. I just run a little reserved EC2 instance so my main billing risks are excessive data out or forgetting to renew a reservation and reverting to by-the-hour billing. So that I don't worry about it much I have three alarms that notify me if either "estimated charges > $x for 1 datapoints within 6 hours", or there's "anomalous" NetworkOut over a day, or "there's more than X total NetworkOut over a day", and another alarm that's "NetworkOut > Y for 1 datapoint within 15 minutes" that notifies me and shuts the instance down. I'd like to have a hard cap of "my instantaneous billing running total for the month, not my 'estimate', has exceeded $x, shut everything down" but what's there is something.

As the son of a Title 1 kindergarten teacher, can confirm that's not far off. And this wasn't even inner city, just rural satellite town.

There's a reason teachers have a specific tax credit for unreimbursed classroom expenses -- and it's because they do things like pool money to buy clothes for the kid whose family can't and won't give him a clean pair.
There's a third reason, which I suspect is the biggest. The billing is not real-time, and it's hard to make it even nearly so, especially in such a complex and heavily distributed infrastructure like AWS.
I'm not a huge proponent of bitcoin, and am unsure how great of a move this was, but man is this article ridiculous.

>The price of Bitcoin on Tuesday crashed to its lowest in nearly a month,

The lowest value in nearly a month is "crashing?" And saying that caused the country to lose $3 million pretends they sold all the bitcoint that day.

Using a picture of protestors in front of a massive fire implies there's some huge movement, not "about 1000 protestors."

>It says bitcoin could save the country $400m a year in transaction fees on funds sent from abroad. However, using data from the World Bank and the government, the BBC calculates this to be closer to $170m.

Saving $170m is still "up to $400m" and more than anything is being optimistic about future growth. And they are saying "however they'll only save $170m" as if the move would somehow not be worth saving $170m.

Finally, they interview a random shopkeeper and the opposition leader to show we got both sides of the issue. What a fair debate there.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

I agree that it's important to examine outcomes. It's actually the fundamental measurement of a decision and if we recast 'intent' as 'desired outcome' then its clear why paying attention to it is important.

My problem is that I was taught that 'racist' describes an ugly mindset that would confer malice. That may be true in some cases where outcomes disproportionately affect certain folks, but it's clearly not always the case and implying otherwise just distracts the conversation.
Then we need to design precision equipment differently. More redundant parts. More wiggle room. More fuzz testing. Find out where precision actually matters, and not just overbuild everything. And iterate more.
Because you can't run a playable Minecraft server on a 5$/mo vm (especially if you play with mods) and you don't need the server to be on 24/7 if you just play with some friends.

They don't, though. An NFT can't prove authenticity of a physical object.
Having read the report, I think this is an interesting but rather weak analysis.

Detection of inauthentic behavior is very hard and fraught with false positives, so it's really important to be very transparent in the methods.

That said, the numbers are not too small, they do have some interviews with participants and Twitter seems to have removed some accounts - all these lend the report some credibility.

I came here to basically say something like this: if there's a hard limit, your business will basically shut down entirely. It's hard (impossible) for cloud providers to automagically shut down services based on each customer's priorities.

I don't think there's a magical solution to this. There might be a company that sets a $1K USD/month limit, forgets about it, and suddenly the cloud provider shuts down everything a year later, while "everyone" is unavailable or something like that.

There are so many scenarios, and I honestly feel that the cloud providers have decided on the most fool-proof solution both for them and their clients.
"185 million ft^2" and "185 million square feet" are two radically different numbers. One is a square 35 thousand miles on each side. The other is a square 2.6 miles each side.
