There are plenty of service limits which you need to request to have lifted. This is a common enough use case that there's an entire console section for requesting increases.

SES has a sandbox mode which you need to explicitly disable.

Metering works perfectly fine for the free tier across a gamut of the most popular products.

Beyond this, the platform captures the necessary information in near enough to realtime to provide an accurate picture of spend.

Yet with all of these capabilities, there is no coherent way to constrain identities or accounts to a certain $ spend on even predictable services.

This has been the case for so long that it must clearly be by design. AWS has the guard rails available but only really wants to use them to stop things that would cause them pain (eg SES, bucket limits).

They totally should and could have the ability to manually _reduce_ service limits.

They totally should and could direct users to a way to restrict regions and services users can use without needing to set things up through IAM.

They could and should have service specific guardrails where they make sense - eg for ec2 provide a sandbox where they limit eg instance types, base hourly spend, use of cpu credits. If they wanted to get crazy they could provide per-service actions to take when thresholds are exceeded (though this might be a bit niche).

They could have a _simple_ billing alarm interface (and enable it by default during provisioning) and they could eat the cost of sending smses or emails when those thresholds are met.

Yet they choose to do none of those things, even when they provide defaults for convenience (eg encryption keys)

While my org has a somewhat nuanced understanding of aws and can set things up to provide this certainty both on our/our clients' environments and to our developers, I have a team of people whose literal job it is to do stuff with AWS, we have had training, certs and other access that beginners do not and cannot have.

IMO it doesnt need to be a tap that people can turn off at $500 a month or whatever, it just needs to be a bit more of a "if you select these default options on these basic services, there's no way that you'll acrue 10k in charges overnight"

The academia can handle this, because it focuses on long-term collaborations that may span decades. Your closest coworkers and the topics you work on don't change just because you got a new job and moved to another place. You continue working with the same people on the same topics, and there is an elaborate system of conferences, workshops, guest lectures, research visits, and sabbaticals that keeps the collaborations running.

I'm not sure how much of that is applicable to normal jobs where your employer owns your work.

Found the footnote on page 155:
621 - The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store.
The only part of the ruling that Apple lost is over a point they had previously conceded to settle the Japanese antitrust investigation.

>SAN FRANCISCO/TOKYO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) will let some apps like Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) provide links to their websites for user payments, a small concession that would allow app developers to bypass the controversial 30% App Store fee the iPhone maker charges.

They might want to challenge the notion that a California law can be used to force a change in the way you do business in other states, but that's about it.
> I’ve thought of creating a “worrybook”

There are a few major parts to my system, the major ones being

- Daily check in

- Reflection of the previous day

- Morning journal

- Daily planner

- Don't do and Anti-regret lists

- Review of the day (including a note to my future self)

- And a habit tracker, this also tracks how I feel in the morning, and how I feel in the night.

So in regards to the "worry book", I think it is a great idea. Anxiety sucks, and being able to understand why it happens and how to deal with it is a good practice. So this is how the above works for me in regards to anxiety at a high level.

1. Daily check in: This sets me up for the day, it has a list of traits I want or do have, my `don't do` and `anti-regret` lists and some other things. So for example a trait might be, 'calm', as well as some quotes which bring me back down to reality. This also includes some tools, like meditation.

2. The reflection of the previous day: I look back at what happened the previous day, what went right/wrong and what made me happy.

3. Morning journal: How I feel when I start my day, personal goals and thought.

4. Review of the day: What went right/wrong and what made me happy, and message to my future self.

How I think this works, for a "worrybook":

1. Daily check in: helps me understand the person I want to be for example a trait might be 'Not controlled by anxiety', and I will have a tool which helps that, like 'meditation'

2. The reflection of the previous day: I get to see what was bothering me the previous day, how it affected me, what I did about it or what I didn't do about it. But it also shows me that I can make it through the day, even with "bad" things happening.

3. Morning journal, how I feel and this is where I first try to adjust my thoughts. What I can do to lessen my anxiety, if it is just panic etc. How I want to feel.

4. Review of the day: I found it always good to review. Calm my mind before sleep, document how I handled the day etc.

So summed up I have understanding of how anxiety affects me, when it has be relevant historically, how I have dealt with it, and the tools which I have to deal with it. I know a little complex though, but it works for me.

It's interesting that someone mentions CBT below, it is my understanding that it is influenced somewhat by stoic thinking, which was one of the drivers behind my system. I also read `The Daily Stoic` by Ryan Holiday daily as part of one of my tasks. All of this takes me about 30 to 45 minutes a day.

What right exactly do you believe is in play here? I agree that under current law Apple can get away with demanding a 30% cut just because they made the hardware it runs on. But I don't see any moral right to the money.

Imagine the opposite case: Microsoft or Dell decides to lock things down and start demanding 30% of every dollar that flows through their gear. I think few would say they have any sort of moral right to that.

> but Apple is still entitled to the 30% cut and can bill the developer after the fact each month or so for the commission that would have been paid.

Even if that were accurate (which it isn’t really), there is no way Apple would be able to actually collect that commission. People can now link to their websites, patreons, Venmo links etc. this pushes the doors wide open.

The Judge here was speaking to the use of alternative in-app payment processors (which the parent article is wrong about) which apple would be entitled to cuts of. If people link out to the web no such agreement exists. Here is the actual text, see for yourself:

“The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store”

Absolutely. That's why I bought and recommend[0] a 1440p monitor unless you plan to use a 32-36" 4k display which IMO is a bit too big. The 1440p monitor I use is 25" and feels just right because it requires minimal head / eye movement to see everything.

My question is very hypothetical. I've read that human brain consumes about 400-500 calories a day on average. Imagine you could somehow attach a device to body that could burn another 1000 calories. [and probably convert it to heat - forget about burning your skin and infections for now]

Do we have that kind of interface? Can we power an implant using energy stored in fat cells?
I think 2001: A Space Odyssey did an excellent job with its treatment of this dynamic.

Something really fascinating here is how each of the different news agencies handle the event.

CNN seems incredibly clinical, if a bit gore-wanting (asking about what's falling from the towers, if the plane is inside still, over and over again)

Fox News was instantly talking terrorism.

CBS was panic and raw emotion, followed by aggressive tracking of facts to try and figure out what they saw.

At least from the 9:02:57 timestamp (second plane hit), as I click through them.
Understood, and that makes sense. But do I want innovation? Or do I want encrypted email 2.0?

No, we don't collect any optimizer stats during query execution. It's trickier that it seems, because (a) collecting the stats is actually pretty expensive, and (b) when using indexes, you may actually see just a tiny part of the data.

There have been some discussions about "learning" and correcting some of the estimates, but there was no patch so far.

Not all of them. But many are. It's important to be skeptical of claims made about th novelty and quality of weather forecasts from new/unknown players.
Then, to be fully honest, we need a new law. The judicial system (at least in theory) isn’t supposed to make new laws as they please but rule on existing ones.

Also, Apple isn’t Google or Microsoft in the eyes of the law because the iPhone started from nothing and no usage with these restrictions from the beginning.

From the law’s perspective, being closed from the beginning and growing powerful is different than being open from the beginning, growing, and then closing.
Hitler was an alien from Hawaii.

Woah look at that, is it misinformation or just information? We may never know. It's beyond science. If only there was a way to tell. But I guess we should focus on what constitutes information vs the obvious cultural meaning behind "disinformation" and how that applies to data exchanged by any medium regardless of the format.

There is such thing as truth, and no it's not decided by the "in group". Failing to understand this might be a sign of mental illness.

The fact is that moving into a home full of strangers at the end of your life is a very cruel end to one’s life, and people fight it the way they fight kidnapping or torture. The best solution is to have your kids take care of you, the second best solution is to die. Nobody wants this which is why people need to be stuffed up with drugs to be manageable, like those tigers they use in tourist photo attractions.

It's literally the text of the ruling.

However, yes, it looks like Hollywood math will soon apply to online gaming transactions.

I think if it was as clear cut as you're suggesting that we would see a rash of app updates. However, it is unclear, and the devs are probably biding their time to see how appeals and what not play out. This is far from over.

However, if I was an app dev that has been bitching&moaning about this prohibition, I'd be jumping all over pushing updates.
This is absolutely false. As evidence of this, Epic doesn’t need to handle all game sales in order to collect their commission from developers who use Unreal Engine.

It would require honesty by app developers and Apple to build new infrastructure to account for and receive commission payments from developers, but there’s no impediment. Only inconvenience.
A lot of it is the baked lighting (he mentions it takes about 7 hours to bake the lighting if he wants to change the scene! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1144467679?t=00h18m03s).

I love doing 3D stuff for fun - but like you, everything looks like minecraft blocks from different worlds. Certainly not real.

But if you open Blender and put a couple of cubes in a scene and render it using Cycles (in the Scene tab change the Render Engine dropdown from the default Eevee) then the cubes looks way better: https://imgur.com/a/q9xvZeI

The ambient occlusion, and proper light bouncing and reflections make even the boring-est cubes look pretty good!

oof the calibration process seems VERY daunting, involving breadboards multimeters and tinfoils. I thought HRNGs were already included in chipsets? doesn't every CPU has it ?
It’s literally not in the text, no need to get snarky without even providing a quote. Here is the text which by my reading speaks to the falsehood of the parent article:

“The Court also notes that in the but-for world where developers could use an alternative processor, Apple would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store.”

Note ‘made within apps’. This suggests alternative IN APP purchases, which again is at odds with the parent article. If you are kicked to safari this would not apply.

It's one of the two things every therapist will tell you that can force them to break the confidentiality. That it can take away your freedom, get you institutionalized, remove your ability to make your own medical decisions.

It's important to take ideations seriously but as someone who struggled with that at points in my life I never felt completely safe about discuss it.
Behind this is one of the problems. In a corporate environment you can't choose the best tool for the job at hand, collaboration. MS Teams is probably the worst tool of its class in this area yet it is, evidently, chosen by people in higher positions who make decisions based solely on their opinion and for the sake of complying with corporate standards, once again, not based on evidence, but, by some MS white paper saying it is.
That said I am not sure they should be spending time on more functional over getting the very basics, like video chat, working as well as almost every other platform. Just my personal opinion on what complete garbage it is when you have to use it every day of the week.
The drugging in those places is an obscenity. If you're going to do that, you should be intentionally shortening people's lives with opiates, which at least is a lot more pleasant than getting loaded up with anti-psychotics to make people compliant. Unfortunately, the jig is generally up with that - everyone knows what opiates do.

I'm seeing a lot of bullshit on all these threads from people who are doing the whole "fake bravery about how they would just be euthanized" in this situation, and how life isn't worth living if you're demented, etc.

Here's how life goes for a demented person close to me:

A "fulfilling life" with dementia isn't that different from one without. You wake up, someone makes you a nice meal, you read the papers, shuffle around a bit, get helped to take a shower and dress, watch a movie (which you won't really take in, but it's some nice pictures), get a call from your daughter (who either lives down the road or thousands of miles away, depending on what you're remembering today), etc. On some days your carers will take you for a drive to look at the ocean, or out to a dinner.

You might dream that you went on an exciting adventure down the California coast and tell everyone about it; surprising that an 80-year-old man who can't walk unaided can take a sailboat out by himself. Everyone you talk to will enjoy your story and no-one will try to tell you that you are deluded.

Some days will be better than others, which is the same for anyone.

That's 24 hour home care - and it's not cheap. Neither is living at a facility at this stage. Often the money spent on medical heroics would be better spent on quality of life. Of course, packing folks off to a facility is necessary for some (in this case, we're talking about outright home ownership plus a modest level of wealth). And then a lot of other people frankly want to put hands on grandpa/grandma's money and/or house which is tricky if they are still living in it.
You're right, it is not really a solution specifically to this problem, 'alternative' would have been better a better choice of words. Certainly I think it would be a good thing if people had the option of dying, even if they also had the option of going to a good care home - if only on the basis that dementia in and of itself may not be something an individual wants to experience even in the case where they are receiving good care.

We can think of care homes as like suppliers in a captive market, and we are the consumers - but it is even worse that a captive market in the sense that at least in a captive market you have the option not to buy, whereas we will be forced to. The existence of assisted dying as an option may even economically incentivize the care industry to improve.
Several issues with that statement, we largely didn’t have snow bound ancestors largely because survival was significantly more difficult in cold areas. Historic populations also tended to lose a lot of weight in winters due to lack of food.

On top of this mercator projections seriously distort people perceptions of how much land is near the equator vs the north. Africa is 11.73 million square miles with minimal snowfall outside of a few mountains, Europe is 3.9 million square miles. Combine that with warmer areas providing more food and it’s likely the majority of early modern humans never experienced significant snowfall.

This is complicated by ice ages, but people didn’t spend a lot of time on on near glaciers until very recently. Lack of food and warmth where huge issue before relatively advanced though still Stone Age technology.

Another way of thinking about this is to compare animal biomass per square mile in say Mongolia with Ghana.
