I'm elated at the rehabilitation of his image. I don't believe people must forever be defined by their pasts. Michael Milken is probably the brightest human being I've ever met and I think he has ideas worth sharing.
We care about vaccination rates because we care about human lives - so what have we gained if we lose our humanity in the process of trying to save it.
Ok, it's not possible to have a good faith discussion about covid with someone who does not accept that vaccines save lives.
AWS marks up egress costs by up to ~80x (US/Canada), according to CloudFlare [1]. They're obviously competitors so take it with a grain of salt, but I'm able to egress 40TB for 14 euros on Scaleway (vs. $3800 for AWS egress), so the reality is AWS marks up egress unbelievably high.

Worked for IBM Cloud right after they started blue-washing Softlayer.

Besides what the author described in the article, there were two IBM Clouds: one for infrastructure (aka Softlayer) and another for PaaS/SaaS (aka IBM Software group's Bluemix) with totally different technologies (although Bluemix Public ran on top of Softlayer) and, as a must from IBM, competing sales teams.

Customers _really_ liked this when they discovered they bought some Bluemix credits but what they really wanted to use were IaaS. It took a long time for the first integration to arrive, and customers got very happy: paying Softlayer in Bluemix credits and paying Bluemix PaaS through Softlayer billing. Yes, billing was (still is?) split, one went through IBM's order systems, the other through Softlayer's.

Of course, there were also a couple of internal competitors for private cloud besides Bluemix Private that competed for customers as well, but let's keep that aside.

Besides competition between IBM Cloud aka Softlayer and IBM Software (who later merged), IBM GTS also had their hosting business, with their own datacenters and managed services (that they sold as "cloud", naturally) that offered IBM Power and Z - both never offered through Softlayer, so customers who wanted everything managed for them (so almost every IBM customer) kept their servers at IBM GTS.

And then there's the kick: after Ginni's mandate, eventually IBM publicly offered Power servers on Softlayer's platform, and there was much rejoicing.

There was just one tiny, little problem: It wasn't IBM Power. It didn't run AIX, just Linux, as Watson ran on Linux. It was closer to a TALOS workstation than to what an IBM customer needed or wanted at all.

Imagine saying to a customer that yeah, we've got Power servers! But no, you can't run AIX, but yeah we are IBM and yeah we still make Power servers. Call our friends at IBM Systems, or IBM GTS if you want that hosted for you.

Those servers weren't IBM at all, except for the CPU. Not even the most locked-in IBM customer would be able to use IBM Cloud if they wanted - and they wanted to.

What, hear the people in the field or the customer? Nah. Crazy times.
Personally, I'm interested in dotnet core ( not blazor per se, i don't want "to end up like wpf")

But my interest would be satisfied enough if i know languages outside of WASM will/can be added in the future.

Physical symptoms of stress include:

Low energy

Headaches

Upset stomach, including diarrhea, constipation, and nausea

Aches, pains, and tense muscles

Chest pain and rapid heartbeat

Insomnia

Frequent colds and infections

Loss of sexual desire and/or ability

Nervousness and shaking, ringing in the ear, cold or sweaty hands and feet

Dry mouth and difficulty swallowing

Clenched jaw and grinding teeth

Sounds like all of the physical symptoms of so-called long-COVID.

Depends on your definition of harm I guess.

Taking ivermectin instead of actually doing anything useful for Covid seems pretty dumb. The folks overdosing on it, lethally dumb.
Fully agree if you've installed the app on your phone and the drain on your battery is wild.

If you don't have the app, joining via phone is required, finding the number is a few seconds including passcodes and then sometimes passwords which often elude me in terms of their location.
Is this coming from the same place as articles arguing that we should just give up trying to deal with COVID-19 and let people day because yeah, a shame, but that's the cost of doing business?
He is literally a flat-earther. Saying he "might" be a conspiracy theorist is giving him way more leeway than deserved.

Sorry, should've specifically mentioned them.

Workers KV is also $5/million writes and $0.50/million reads[1] (more expensive than S3 which is $0.40/million reads) and often DynamoDB (which is $1.25/million 1KB writes and $0.25/million reads scaling down to 1/7th that if you use provisioned instead of on-demand).

Workers KV is also eventually-consistent with no guarantee of read-after-write, which is a pretty big limitation compared to alternatives (S3 even has immediately-consistent list operations now after write).

Durable Objects Storage is $1/million writes at 4KB and $0.20/million reads[2], which is pretty good. But you can also only access it via a Durable Object which limits its usage (especially as neither Durable Objects or its storage are in a production state with final pricing yet) and means you need to also pay for the Durable Object runtime on top fo the Storage pricing whenever you want to access that data.

Not the win you think it is.
Okay, I'll look into it. The issue is the screen, which apparently needs to be replaced as a whole because Apple integrated a faulty 6 $ display cable into the panel to make it thinner. And the screens are only available from Apple... :/
I've had an iPhone stolen twice (both times it was my wife's actually). And both times I've recovered it using Find My. Honestly, it didn't even occur to me to involve the police. I just fired up the Find My app as soon as she told me the phone was missing, and I hunted it down. Confrontations ensued on both occasions, but nothing too serious.
There’s possible a lot of nuance there, that his short comment lacks (and probably leading to downvotes). There were several pre-pandemic studies that suggested masks would be harmful or didn’t show an effect. Then, state-by-state comparisons of laws in the US also show very little correlation. So if the emphasis was on (still) lacking retrospective evidence, that seems a fair complaint. Very recently, there’s a preprint article by a research group that looked back at the existing studies, and showed that many of them were too underpowered to be even capable of demonstrating the expected benefits. It has a great graph of this (https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/pxet7q/unmasking_t...)

So—in contrast to the vaccine, where the data was gathered before giving authorization was given last year—it seems that mask mandates may have been just hopeful trials that assumed there wasn’t long-term problems associated with masks, well in advance of actually having relevant data. And, in further comparison, we also have drugs like HCQ, which were pushed ahead of the data—and continue to be advocate despite continued lack of evidence in large trials. So it feels unclear that data ever mattered as much as being seen doing something? I’m saddened by it all.
It can be downright startling!
I remember an ad on the radio from the American Podiatrist's Council or some such organization, recommending that everyone get their yearly foot exam.

Sure, it was trying to stir up business; but I think that ad mainly existed because podiatrists really did, in good faith, think everybody should get their foot examined once a year.

You just lose perspective.
So... you want to get the benefits of Find My without actually giving back to the network?
Just want to add that I've had this exact experience with people using phone audio with the added variant of them losing cellular signal every few minutes.
PSA: The article Title is somewhat confusing. It actually argues for the knowledge-sharing model that Sci-Hub (and its brethren) advocate.

At the end, the article says:

But it is still worth contemplating a world without Sci-Hub—that is to say, a world in which Sci-Hub would be unnecessary. The “effective nationalization” proposed by Wiley and by the academic publishers themselves might just pave the way there.

It is quite frustrating that the Scientific Community producing the Intellectual Property that the "Academic Publishing Industry" makes money out of, is not doing more to bring the "Cartel" down once and for all. Have they become so pusillanimous that they are no longer willing to stand-up against what is clearly unethical and wrong?

It is time to re-read The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse on Voluntary Servitude (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_on_Voluntary_Servitu...) and ACT on it.
I hope for enterprise customers it will allow pay as you go. We were really interesting in Spectrum and the price was in our range but having a contract for our current capacity for 1 year didn’t make sense. And our needed throughputs were very spikey. It didn’t make sense to pay for 3k concurrent users when our 80th percentile would be around 1k.
No, just select US. There's plenty of foreigners still.
taking drugs is not the same as wearing clothes
I don't think that's a complete characterization of the anti-vaccine "movement" or "meme." It's also rooted in distrust of the government science institutions. For instance, many people are taking ivermectin at some risk to themselves, since prolonged human consumption of ivermectin may have adverse effects.
People like you who had a mild case may benefit most from the vaccine, because you may be the least likely to have developed long-lasting antibodies.

You've seen what the virus can do. Why chance it?

I highly doubt this explaination. Masks have been known for a very long time to be a good way to prevent the transmission of an airborne disease, especially like Covid, which involves generally a lot of coughing.

Here, a picture taken 100 years ago, about people wearing masks during the spanish flu. Mind the sign "wear a mask or go to jail!"

That's servers though right? Not object storage.
One pitfall I’ve seen user researchers fall into is they are obsessed with recruiting a fresh sample of users for their ongoing rounds of user interviews.

This recruitment requirement skips much of the understanding of user needs, priorities, workflows, etc that came from previous rounds of exploration and testing.

The real value comes when you gather a small but roughly representative sample of users and collaborate closely with them on the development of feature(s).

For example, I recently built a ‘User Advisory Board’ to guide the development of internal tools at a large organization (using software I developed for that purpose).

This subset of users was engaged throughout the development process - collaborating with designers and engineers throughout - resulting in a finished product that was closely aligned with user needs.

I don’t have data to back this up, but I got the sense users were more satisfied with the end result because they felt they had a hand in ‘co-creating’ it (aka ‘the IKEA effect’).

OP claims they did this early on, but my comment is pointing to a larger issue I’ve witnessed that may help those reading this to avoid the issue of users not adopting features they asked for…
I think it's like LZO or LZ4 but with tiny window, so the compression is not great.
I'm glad this is hitting the mainstream. I have asthma and when I get any flu it lasts and lasts in my lungs for ages. When I was younger and did nothing to avoid it I'd basically cough brutally all winter long. Due to the pandemic I've had the longest healthy stretch (no flu of any kind or cold) in my life and it is great.
> The targets of vitriol should be the media and political figures who made vaccine hesitancy mainstream amongst conservatives, not individual people.

Agreed. I never said I submitted anything to the sub or founded it or something. I do find it useful to see what is happening to people. A secondary reason I was there is my parents are anti-vax and comorbid and I was hoping to find something that would break their hypnosis, but it's too deep.

That said, as someone that was previous conservative and my parents are conservative, I can say definitively though that conservatism is a suckers game and it should be obvious to anyone that it's a pack of lies by the cruelest and most selfish people in our society with grifters and the super-rich at the top. Liberalism isn't much better (in some ways worse because they have enough credibility with workers to do real damage sometimes without pushback).

> You can imagine how fast the sentiment around vaccines would change amongst the professional class if suddenly the NYT, WaPo, HuffPo, Democratic politicians, etc. uniformly expressed that vaccines couldn’t be trusted.

That reality almost happened. At the presidential debates Harris said that she wouldn't take the vaccine if Trump told her to (which was about whether it was the FDA or Trump pressuring the FDA). If they really leaned into that, we'd be in a different world right now. Like everything these days, it's psychic whiplash how fast things change.
Yeah that was one motivation behind it -- to provide some rudimentary controls to filter outbound traffic through the VPN server.

The egress firewall will also be useful for upcoming 2FA features -- we can block traffic destined to the Internet until the user authenticates through the web portal (in addition to having the WireGuard config on their device).

For now the egress firewall is more of just an MVP feature though :-)

I think your experience is going to be not atypical of many tech jobs and it highlights an important point. Even if someone is fine in principle with others working remotely as much or as little as they want, if you really want a pre-pandemic mostly in office as was the case at many companies, that basically requires that teammates be willing to come in regularly. Otherwise, you're effectively in a rented coworking space.

I've been suspecting for many months that people will end up shifting to workplace styles that match their preferences if they can and this is a good example.
Getting out of the heavily subsidized airline industry is an unalloyed good, if Canada simply doesn't participate in the production and reaps the benefits of heavily subsidized international products the country wins.
The lives of the people who aren't trying to get their peers killed, hopefully.

If someone is so hell-bent on dying that they'll ignore every single qualified doctor telling them that they're wrong, we can't really do much about that. But at least it usually stops them from getting other people killed with the same stupidity.

I agree, medicine has been really terrible at actually listening to what patients say. It ignored black peoples pain and ignored differences due to gender. Even now there are probably doctors saying long covid is all in patients heads (even after the new billions in grants to study long covid). Part of the cause seems to be just human prejudice. Another part seems to come from insertions of moral judgement into medicine ("we are not going to look for a cure for alcohol damage to the liver because then people would just drink all the time"). Doctors are often peoples only hope and so they get treated like gods and it goes to their heads. Have you noticed all the doctors saying recently "we need to be humble" with respect to COVID-19? They seem to be literally telling themselves they don't know all the answers because they forgot that. Why have doctors been so slow to computerize? Decades of patient observations and records that could have been of very high value have been wasted. My opinion anyway, and I'm sure not every doctor is the same.
Back when bandwidth and network connectivity was an extremely rare commodity, we had to innovate to provide the functionality we wanted. Torrents, email, multi-part download/upload, compression algorithms, traffic shaping, software mirrors. The resilient parts of the digital world were born out of creatively circumventing our limitations.

In a world with no limitations, we're free to no longer be creative.
This was my business model back in 2007 and it worked very well. Back then we used WordPress as the backend. Times may have changed now that there are lots of site builders and amazing off the shelf Themeforest templates. You can get a pretty custom looking site using WordPress and a $60 theme.

If you are serious about this, one thing to look out for is clients who are window shopping. They will waste your time and you might build the whole site only ro have them cancel after 1 month. Thst is why we went with a setup fee + monthly fee (e.g. $500 + $50/mo) so that the client has some skin in the game. I would also be careful with unlimited revisions...that is something that will eat your margins. Also, you should clearly spell out who owns the rights to the design in the event the client cancels (can I take my design with me?).
Long-COVID sounds like pseudo-science to me. They poll a bunch of people who have had COVID, and then attribute the reported symptoms to COVID, when there are a host of confounding factors. For example, anxiety - the most commonly reported long-COVID symptom - can easily be explained by the extreme fear surrounding COVID, or the two weeks of total isolation that all people diagnosed with COVID are prescribed.

The negative impact of fear is being completely dismissed by a large cross-section of the population. Reposting what I posted above:

>>Great clip of Bill Maher citing a survey in which 41% of Democrats said that if you catch COVID, the chances of going to the hospital are >50%... (the correct answer is between 1% - 5%) Maher says the "liberal media needs to take responsibility for scaring the sh*t out of people"

Nobody is forcing the searcher to view any of the content presented as search results and I think it's hard to make the case that mere exposure to unwanted search results is anything other than a minor irritation.

I think we would be in agreement that improvements in search and algorithmic identification of content would be a great thing so that people who don't want to see fringe content can be helped to avoid receiving it in their search results?
The loop will close as we once again will realise that even though domain is king of software, it is too different a beast from what the enlightened among us (not me) call "Infrastructure", the serf that actually grows the crop. Now of course, you can make the serf bend over backwards to serve the king, and use forks to work the land, because that's how kings roll; but is it really the best way to work the land?

If you want proper engineering, you should do proper engineering, instead of being a business analyst documenting the domain in code. But that is, like, only my opinion, man.

No way. Not for nothing! The customer did not have the added problem of late circuit boards. Even if they could not build their prototype, you did good.

Ahem, need - at least from our leaders. It may be that creating certainty amid uncertainty is itself the core of leadership. The stories we are most certain of are the ones we use to run our lives, to make decisions, and take action.

One heuristic for this is the 40-70 rule - a heuristic for decision making. In order to make a decision you should have no less than 40 percent of the information you would prefer to have, and you shouldn't wait to make the decision once you have 70 percent of the information you would prefer have.
