> You also try to argue by implying insults

I'm sorry for anything I've written that comes off as insulting. Can you point to anything specific that can help me be sure I avoid doing so again?
My issues are with the mocking, the doxxing, and the general atmosphere of “the vermin are extinguishing themselves and the world is better for it.”
Huge congrats to you and the crew, Spencer! Well deserved. It was always a pleasure working with your product and the people behind it at prior companies, and lobbying for more adoption as a result.

1. What are you most looking forward to (product/tech-wise, impact, financially for you, financially for the organization, etc.) that may not have been possible just a few years ago?

2. What do think are the greatest challenges you will have to face in your role as a founder-CEO and as a company in AMPL's next phase?

3. If you were starting over today, what ideas might get you excited enough to go at it again for the next decade?
My mistake, you are right that is what it says.
Lower-Case use of mm in accounting and finance is incredibly common. If you worked in those industries it’s understandable you’d think everyone followed that convention.
Nope, eastdakota confirmed it's fine as a b2 image proxy right here on HN.
Not if you use WebAssembly. You can simply pass an Array Buffer to be worked on, you postMessage it with transferable=true.

transfer Optional
An optional array of Transferable objects to transfer ownership of. If the ownership of an object is transferred, it becomes unusable in the context it was sent from and becomes available only to the worker it was sent to.

You can compile JS itself or pretty much any other language to WASM using Emscripten or the other LLVM toolkits. Looking at VSCode, it appears they use this technique for some of the heavy lifting.

JS is very performant if you know how to use this hybrid architecture. The C++ guys above are shitting all over JS when an Electron app can simply use C++ transpiled to WASM if they really wanted to. Electron isn't really for JS as a coding language. It is much more for the awesome cross-platform UI you get with HTML, CSS, and JS. A lot has been done to optimize rendering engines. The same techniques that render snappy web pages can be used within Electron. All the griping above is really just ignorance.

Can I ask -- what's the idea behind the egress firewall? Is it to make sure that all of the wireguard traffic is destined for the local network and not the internet at large?
As a proponent of Radical Simplicity, I'm always sceptical about event sourcing.

There are some benefits (I found it useful to replay events for example), but where I have seen it at work it makes things much more complex, the understanding of the system and the development of new features takes much longer.

This already starts with a command framework instead of method calls.
It's not a currency but a utility. You can't buy and hold bandwidth like you can currency.
If a job is crappy in general, the pay is likely to be part of the crappiness. Or from the other side of the yin-yang, part of what can make a better job better is better pay.
In the 1910s, the typical lifespan of those who did not die in infancy or childhood was similar to day: 70-85 years. But yes, certainly a significant chance of child mortality or having died in the Great War.
Same complaint for those annoying "how to use our website or Electron app" tutorials the first time you sign in or after updates.

Make help discoverable, don't ram it down our throats, please.
Besides Cloudflare's pedigree and CDN reach, is there any other reason this is considered revolutionary when, say, Wasabi [0] already exists with the same no-egress-charges pricing model? I'm not affiliated with either company, just trying to get a handle on the hype.

Congratulations! I'm curious about what equity management platforms have you used during your journey since 2012 and what platform you use now. I would venture to guess that the latter is Carta, since they have pre- and post-IPO support and relevant high(er)-end features, including private liquidity. Have you been offering liquidity in any form to your employees during the private phase of your company?
Yeah, I ignored request charges just because CloudFlare was non-specific. I also ignored them on the AWS side; a million S3 GET requests would cost 40¢.
>>In Silicon Valley hopping companies can be like $100k/year or more gross pay difference.

That has limits too. Its not like you can hop 20 companies in 10 years and end up making like $2+ million an year.

Eventually you will max out of levels to get promoted too. Then the only options are to startup on your own or be an exec at a large company.

Plus Im guessing any reasonable increase in your levels comes with fair degree of risks, workplace politics, up-or-out workplace policies and if you have a history of hopping 2 companies/year serious shops aren't going to hire you to only replace you 6 months from now.
Have you tried turning your phone off? It literally tells you about this feature when you try. Not sure how much more clear Apple can be.

Working on it. Distributed makes it… non-trivial. But if we pull off what we think we can…
SQLite on R2?

I'm wondering if cloudflare can add additional languages. The current languages on top of WASM is not so interesting to me. I'd love to try them out more seriously though.

Eg. A managed OpenFaas offering would be very interesting ( since it supports dotnet core, which in the current phase wouldn't be added i think)
Ask HN: Best no-bloat/no-upsells domain registrar
What’s the best domain registrar that best fits the follow criteria?

- No crazy upsells when buying a domain: GoDaddy is out
- No bloated domain management UI: I’ve seen some terrible over-engineered JS heavy management UIs)
- Prices in the cheaper side: I don’t need rock bottom prices, but I’d like to have competitively priced domains
- Secure: must support MFA via OTP or YubiKey. Sadly iwantmyname doesn’t make the cut because they are still using Authy instead of OTP

Bonus would be a domain registrar with a CLI. I’d get payment and everything setup in a browser and check availability and make reservations in a CLI.

What are your top picks and recommendations?
The commerce secretary mis-spoke. if they think "stop innovating" is how the US and Europe catch up with China.

If the commerce secretary wants to stop IPR theft, don't say "stop innovating"

I'm not accusing the OP of mangling the title/body - I'm accusing the commerce secretary of being bloody stupid.
Yeah, read and write request pricing is still the big unanswered question here.

It’s great that they are happy to have a free tier, but <10RPS is only <777k per day constant. Great for small uses, but pretty easy to hit with even medium object store use-cases.

My current guess would be somewhere around S3’s $5/million writes and $0.40/million reads (with maybe a 20% discount like they’ve done with other products). Hope I’m wrong and it’s a lot lower though.

I’m probably in the minority, but I want to use an object store like this as a key/value store for <128KiB objects (write once, read a handful of times and then expire in 14-90 days).

I’d gladly pay egress, but usually the request prices (for S3 or DynamoDB) become pretty cost-prohibitive. Even services like Wasabi that, on the face of it look perfect, end up being unsuitable because the T&Cs limit maximum egress to total monthly storage volume (making the write once, read more than once for every short-lived object pretty difficult).

I’d gladly pay for a service with both “reasonable” egress and “reasonable” request prices instead of everyone trying to weight their service to one or the other.
Money.

I'm sure all the issues you cite can be solved, but it costs money to address them. How much are you willing to pay to play an MMO, either up front, subscription, or free-to-play freemium?
I think this experiment is worth doing. Perhaps one day the machines will learn to resolve the stylistic differences between the works of contemporaries. (It takes a while to hear something new and be able to answer 'who wrote this?').

Why they decided to train on Beethoven's entire output is beyond me. ( His works are usually grouped into several 'phases'. In later life he declined when asked duplicate his earlier works. Will it sound like Symphony 4.5?) Guess we'll hear if that worked.

Your average cable modem can't do a good job of hosting much more than 50GB/day. Would you say that 1TB/day is well into 'real' then? You seem dismissive of that much.
Saying that the company with consumer products that consumers love is "anti-consumer" reduces the meaning of "anti" to be pretty much useless.

They might be anti-you as a consumer, but I for one very much like this feature and feel that Apple was more transparent than they needed to be in this case, so they are certainly not anti-consumer to me (a consumer).
Not disagreeing with you! Just pointing out that there will be additional costs over just 13 cents. Excited to check out R2.
We Are Living in a Charisma Drought
We found (in the world of building Hyperscan, a high-performance regular expression matching library) that asking users what features they wanted was a disaster.

You have to ask them what they want to achieve. Their suggestions as to how to do it were almost always terrible: partly, they don't have the domain knowledge to know what's going to be simple and practical vs complex and nasty.

Also, they usually have a comparatively clear picture of what they want to achieve, but their notions of how best to break that into "your problem (library)" vs "our problem (app)" are often very naive - you wind up owning way too much of the problem (usually), or occasionally going in the other direction and not really getting enough context information into your library.
Back in pioneer times like the 1970s, we still had various flu pandemics and managed to take the toddlers to the store. Hell, we even had Woodstock.
I was going to argue with you, but every job I’ve left has had other factors that would’ve made me leave even if they raised my salary.
Yes, I brought up that equation merely to illustrate how vaccination alone can impact Rt downward - for a while it was unclear to me exactly how "partial vaccination" (before herd immunity) was a benefit; that helped me see that it really just mean it slows down the doubling rate until you get to Rt=1. But overall, Rt is impacted by all forms of mitigation including natural immunity.

The way I actually use that equation in my personal dashboards is to estimate what Rt "would" be, at today's mitigation levels, if no one had gotten vaccinated. So for instance, Portland's Rt is currently 0.92 (according to one model). By plugging in Portland's vaccination rate and efficacy estimates, you can estimate that Portland's Rt would be around 2 today if not for the vaccinations, if all other mitigation were the same.

On the one hand, 2 is a lot better than those estimates of 5 to 9.5, which means that we're impacted a lot by current mitigation practices (masks, distancing) and natural immunity. On the other hand, 2 is huge! Given estimates on infectious periods, that means that currently our cases halve every 90 days or so, but 2 would mean cases would be doubling every week or so. Gargantuan difference. So just an illustration that vaccination has a big impact and matters a lot.
What would motivate them to do so?

Yep. The Rolls-Royce "Nene" jet engine was sold under licence to the USSR and when the cold war broke out, the USSR cancelled the non-compete and worked the design up to develop the engine for the MIG-15.

So, to be fair to the other point of view, the "birth" of their jet engine technology was IPR theft in the cold war. it wasn't spying, they just broke contract but boy: they took it to another level.

What the Robot Saw
That's like someone saying that fire is hot, but you respond with you can turn down the flame on the stove. While that may be true, you've completely dodged the original question.
The rabies vaccine is available everywhere and it's probably not this costly anywhere except in US. I got bitten by a stray dog in India a few years back. 4 shots for rabies + one for tetanus cost me less than Rs. 5000 (~$70) in total, including the cost of administering the shots.
We’re still finalizing per request pricing. But we want to not charge anything in most cases (<1 op/sec). And even over threshold it will be at least 10% less than S3’s per op price.
OMG - Congratulations!

I remember, 10 years ago when Stripe launched. Our SaaS was using some shitty merchant account provider. We had to have a merchant account, which after tons of paperwork, we got.

Now, we were a travel technology SaaS (not a travel business), but our merchant provider closed our account without notice, because, according to them, we were selling consumer travel. With just under 100 subscribing customers at the time, this was very painful for us. They NEVER took the time to talk to us and see what our business was.

But just a few months earlier, Stripe launched.

We IMMEDIATELY signed up and did a very light integration. We manually called all our customers and input their credit cards. And we've been with Stripe since that time till today.

Brilliant service. Easy to integrate. Highly recommended.

Because of that pain though, we still are always prepared to go with a different provider if something happens, but so far, the other shoe has NOT dropped.

Stripe took the time to understand that we are a company that provides technology services to travel companies. Not a travel company.
The targets of vitriol should be the media and political figures who made vaccine hesitancy mainstream amongst conservatives, not individual people.

People are blinded by the public figures and institutions that they trust - and yes, that includes us.

They were steered wrong because they trusted the wrong people. 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.
Node-RED is one of those polarizing apps. People either love it or hate it with a passion.

I am in the latter camp. I mean, it does what it says on the tin, but I could never understand how laboriously "wiring" up a bunch of boxes and filling in parameters is any easier than whipping up a few lines of Python.
>>>There's literally no point in banning travel from China, if Paris has 10x the prevalence of COVID, and you haven't banned travel from it.

Was there ever an indication that Paris had 10x the COVID of Wuhan?

If travel bans don't work, why did China implement them domestically, specifically with respect to Wuhan?[1]

>>>Considering that the first major outbreak in the US was caused by travelers from the EU

Citation please? Maybe my Google-Fu is weak, but I'm getting Washington State as the site of the first major US outbreak, and the first US case was a Wuhan traveler in Washington State.[2][3]

>>>Why were European travelers being treated preferentially to Chinese ones, for over a month?

Look at this map regarding the spread of SARS[4]. It reached the world fairly quickly. Yet we didn't implement a global travel shutdown. Travel bans were rather focused on Hong Kong and parts of China[5].
The cost-benefit analysis of implementing strict travel controls on countries other than the origin point are probably based on an assessment of the ability of secondary locations (in your example, Europe) to contain the spread from a small number of imported cases. This would provide the maximum benefit (spread reduction) at the lowest overall cost to quality of life and economic activity. If they had taken sensible measures, as they did with Ebola and SARS, maybe they could have.

Thoroughly enjoyed the read, thank you for posting.
I think you should review the HN guidelines, as it appears your comment is breaking several of them. If you want to make posts like this you should build your own HN.

Wasabi limits egress to your total storage.
What language(s) do you want?
Yep, a lot of it in newer updates is ML stuff (rebuilding personalized neural nets locally on your device), which obviously pegs the "neural engine" in your chip for a while.
> the mocking

It's perfectly reasonable to have a distaste for this, but I am curious as to if you take issue with this because the person in question is deceased, or if you just take issue with mocking someone under all circumstances.

> the doxxing

I can't say I've seen any of that. Admittedly I only ever see posts from that subreddit when they show up on r/all, so maybe it gets cleaned up on popular posts, but everything I've seen on the subreddit is just directly screenshotted from social media.

> and the general atmosphere of “the vermin are extinguishing themselves and the world is better for it.”

This one is really just a matter of your opinion on trolley problems. For what it's worth I'm pretty sure just about everyone on that subreddit would prefer the individuals in question have a sudden inspiration of critical thought and save their own lives.
1) It's quite worrying since having a high antibody count can imply an increased risk of side effects. This is why we don't give 2 shots to people that have already had covid in the last 6 months.

2) You've got to agree that 6-9 months is a pretty short window of immunity for a traditionnal vaccine. We may maybe rather call it "prophylaxy" then, just like the dewormer you put on your cat every 3 months.

3) Do you have a source? This could be a very interesting pro-vaccine point.

That's the correct attitude. View your team as a pipeline that produces top people. It's much more rewarding to work that way.

For highest end stuff you use both. They have different properties. SiC matters for reverse recovery of the inverter.
I’ve been out of the field for a decade now, but I’m not surprised WRF is still the dominant model. So how different is ARW from the reference implementation? Model physics are not quite real physics anyway, and your initial conditions have some garbage and low sig figs anyway. Is the error propagation measurable — does it make long term forecasts significantly worse?
That makes sense and is fair. The only times I encounter clients with S3 request pricing problems is when they’re doing something truly… unfortunate.
From very early in our history, this is something my cofounder Michelle often said. It’s fascinating how the economics and incentives of bandwidth change with scale. Figuring that out early was key to our success and continues to inform our strategy.

The other interesting thing is not all bandwidth is created equal. We provide services like 1.1.1.1 and infrastructure to root server operators in order to have a “currency” that’s helpful to ISPs who invite us into their networks. The number of times we’ve gotten invited into some telecom’s network because the network admin’s favorite sports team (or whatever) uses the free version of our service is… fascinating. And since every server in our network runs every service, once we’re in for one thing means everything we do in the region gets better and less expensive to operate.

This means, counter intuitively, as we add more locations to our network our costs generally go down, not up.
The teams were much smaller than Young me realized as well. The mini interview about the launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System after the video game crash was pretty interesting.

> However, AWS re:invent is right around the corner and I suspect this will cause an announcement or two to come from the AWS side.

Call me a pessimist, but I expect that will happen around the same time they make managed NAT gateways reasonably priced.

I'm going to say never. I'll likely be right for years before I am eventually wrong due to the sticker price not moving but inflation making it relatively affordable.

Go ahead AWS, prove me wrong!
They already do promote content which they consider to be good quality.
