no worries, it was all quite confusing to me too. I never had to worry about any of this stuff till accidentally racking up a $600 charge in one day by using a TPU pod to train on data in the wrong region.

Here's the rule of thumb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28775836

> inbound traffic (ingress) is free, almost universally.

> outbound traffic (egress) is $insane, almost universally.

so think of it like, teleport yourself to S3's servers. Any data that comes in, you charge $0. Any data that goes out, you charge $massive.

This seems to be true for almost every provider I've found. Hetzner is one of the rare exceptions. If you need a server, get a Hetzner dedicated box, because it's unlimited traffic (both ingress and egress). It powers https://battle.shawwn.com/ (big dump of files).

I'd love to store things in S3 or GCE, but it's a non-starter, because transferring between GCE to Hetzner would cost $0.12/GB downloaded. 12 cents per GB! It doesn't sound like a lot till you do the math on 22TB.

Hence, R2 is incredibly appealing. I'd love $0.015 per GB storage cost + free egress, because it means I can download as much as I want to my hetzner server. Meaning, I don't need to worry about my hetzner drives failing.
With a phone you need my passcode to accept to 2FA request (assuming lock screen notifications are disabled). I think yubikeys can work without a passcode as long you plug it in right?

It’s also fire resistant, because gypsum has a lot of water bound up in it. Drywall will resist burning, and will also slow down a fire as it takes a lot of heat energy to convert the bound up water to steam.
My condo is in a 110 year old building. Some of the walls are thick brick with crumbling dry plaster on top. I tried to hang a pretty heavy frame on one of those walls & made a huge mess. Had to have a pro come out to do it!!

HN is sometimes a gem with random relevant content.
If you supply anything that retail needs on Thanksgiving (including physical media containing digital assets), you have a very strict timeline as well. There is sometimes a possibility to pay extra to expedite a later part of the production process (ship via air instead of ship?) but that's still a big hit and often isn't even available.
The irony that you have to log into Facebook to read the statement is not lost...

> Who knows, maybe there will be some way to verifiably move your Steam library over to an Amazon account?

Given that steam has pretty strict terms with publishers over this, I highly, highly doubt they would do this unless they wanted to dump a huge ocean of money into free license comps for developers to make money from and for users to get free games.

Competing with Steam isn't only just a money/size thing, though of course that helps.
The title made me think of my final first year chemistry lab where we made dye-sensitized solar cells from raspberries. It was an incredibly low-tech process aside from the conductive oxide-coated glass slides used as the electrodes. I'd love to see an in-depth guide on this solar panel design.

> [...] a fully committed PIPE in excess of $100 million, direct investment, and $345 million of cash held in the trust account of Supernova II, assuming no redemptions.

This is an odd assumption - the median redemption rate is 73%[1]. So the total new cash into the company will likely be less than half of the quoted $458mm.

how many stupid things you said at 19 made you $100B? I'm pretty sure that if a stupid thing you said at 19 had made you a $100B by the age of 30 and continued to made many billions after that you'd pretty much continue to believe and follow that stupid thing.
This looks nearly the same, but it's much easier to write and generates less spurious diffs:

select a
, b
, count(*) as count
from table
join table2
on table.key1 = table2.key1
and table.key2 = table2.key2
and DATEADD('day, 1, table.key3) = table2.key3
where cond1
and cond2
group by a, b
order by count desc

The largest difference is that the equal operators aren't aligned anymore, but on my opinion, aligning them is really not worth the cost.
Even if you don't log in to a Google account, Google can still log your searches by your IP address. Then a warrant can be served on your ISP to identify the user of the IP address. Using a VPN could protect you from that (although your VPN might be logging your real IP address too).

A solution that does not require using a VPN is to use a search engine that does not log your searches or IP address. DuckDuckGo claims that they don't:

"When you access DuckDuckGo (or any Web site), your Web browser automatically sends information about your computer, e.g. your User agent and IP address.

Because this information could be used to link you to your searches, we do not log (store) it at all."

Good point about double paying for storage. There's a long migration problem here to clean up. Most of my buckets have some frequently and some very infrequently accessed objects. To address this, there needs to be some sort of an active migration tool? Does R2 have this built in?

Ah yes, nice easy to grok code like `curval &= ~(field_mask << shift);` :P

But for real - I’ve had way more luck grokking embedded rust than all of the bare metal C examples i’ve looked at. C breeds dense bittwiddling and code that relies on inscrutable compiler behavior. There are easier ways to learn how these systems work at a bare-metal level.
It's when you put all these small optimizations together that it leads to something remarkable. It's analogous to video codecs: there are a bunch of individual optimizations that alone don't look that impressive, only saving ~1% here or there. But once they all are working together, you see savings of 10-50%.

"They're not "wrong" in tests of their real-valuedness though."

Yes, they are, or more accurate, they're not right enough for you to confidently assert the structure of space time at scales below the Planck scale. You are doing so on the basis of theories known to be broken at that scale. You are not entitled to use the theories that way.

Even the Planck scale being the limit is a mathematical number; I'm not sure we have concrete evidence of that size being the limit. I've seen a few proposed experiments that would measure at that resolution (such as certain predictions made by LQG about light traveling very long distances and different wavelengths traveling at very slightly different speeds) but I'm not aware of any that have panned out enough to have a solid result of any kind.
But if you are chasing sign up bonuses, that typically doesn’t happen all at once.

Assume you have a card for restaurants, one of travel, one for grocery’s, one for gas, one for entertainment and one catch all.

That’s 6. What else do you have a dedicated card for? 14 cards with sign up bonuses? All at the same time, each with minimum spending requirements to earn that bonus?

Let’s add some more. I have one card that pays $25 every quarter that I pay off in full every month so I use it once every month. I have a card with rotating categories. Even with multiple rotating categories I don’t see this going up past 12 cards.
This no longer works. Guy got banned I think.
This is nonsense, if you look even to the beginnings of Christianity, both the catholic and orthodox churches rejected stoning and the Jewish law very early on. The documentation of the rejection is written about in the bible.

If you want to argue that Jewish law is restrictive fine... Christians agree. It's written in the new testament. I'll leave it to a Jew to defend their laws.

The fact that anyone thinks Christians believe in following Jewish law speaks more to lack of education, not anything to do with Christianity.

Edit: i will point out these forms of Christianity also reject the authority of the bible in the way most protestants see it.

No, by your logic, my logic is that theft should be eliminated altogether in Afghanistan.

I never commented my logic other than what you were saying is and continues to be a load of nonsense which you seem to believe becomes true just because you had the thought and typed the words. That doesn't mean I suddenly believe the extreme polar opposite of your words. It just means I think you are spouting nonsense.

Your thinking skills are severely lacking.

I wonder how this compares with Wasabi. I was very bullish on them a few years ago.
Learning to not compare yourselves to others is another valuable lesson. I think the majority of children (and probably adults too) would be happier if we were able to really internalize this.

Additionally, not comparing oneself with others will avoid the "keeping up with the Joneses" mindset, and that is going to be a big help financially.
"When running the Vietnam office, we had many other business-related problems to deal with; building consensus wasn’t something that I always had the time to do. So the way I ran certain org changes was to:
1. Get a sense for team receptivity for that org change, balanced against the necessity of the org change. If I sensed that the team would be resistant to the change, I would:
2. Figure out how much I had left in the ‘credibility/trust’ bank, and if I wanted to burn that capital.
3. If possible, find a smaller, more reversible version of the org change to introduce first.
4. Use disasters to my full advantage (people are usually more receptive to trying new ways of doing things in the wake of something painful).
5. Strategically allow certain things to blow up so that I could exploit the pain to introduce org change, as per 4) above.
6. Or build consensus; consensus was always the best, if most time consuming, option."

This is useful, and incredibly candid, information about what actions are taken to shape organizations, especially point 5. It's great to see it written out like this.

Highly doubtful. Anyone who was already making money from twitch knows how the payment system works and can guess how much someone else makes based on views/subs. Anyone not on the inside already had access to website that gave close enough estimates.
Yeap, this video is pure snake-oil. It overblows something that is a non-issue (ordering of the transactions) and tries to imply that is the core problem of "scaling".

To put another way: if UTXO was paramount for scaling, there would be no need for BSV to exist because BTC (and BCH, LTC, Monero, Doge and so many others) are already based on UTXO.

There are many other, bigger challenges and trade-offs to be considering when planning for scaling solutions. All of the solutions claiming they are scaling base-layer chains are doing so at the cost of centralization. Solana claims to make 100k+ TPS, but the amount of hardware required is incredibly expensive. Binance Chain manages to scale because it uses only 8 validator nodes. BSV is making these jumbo blocks, so the moment the network becomes popular it could be requiring 20-30GB per hour in storage, who in their right mind will want to run one of those?

This is slick. Tons of cool unlocks with this in terms of collaboration and cost management!
Because it's significantly cheaper and diversifies your presence across multiple providers.

It's a good idea to split origin and CDN, this way requests can be served from cache while origin is down or overloaded.

Plus I'd challenge the suggestions that S3 and CDN are a tiny portion of the infrastructure. For a lot of sites it's a significant chunk, things remaining wouldn't be many, maybe compute, DNS, and CI.
From my perspective, in American culture very few people are mature enough to handle discussing income without feeling a hugely inflated ego or completely inferior to their peers. (Maybe true elsewhere but I can't speak to those places!) The reason it's kept secret is because people can't help but turn it into the proverbial dick measuring or whatever is a more polite way of putting it.

As for the American Dream, it still strikes me as integral the American Dream, I think you just have a different idea of how you wish it was.

EDIT: Also from what I've heard anecdotally, Americans are actually more open about money than most other countries, especially Scandinavian ones.
Sadopopulism
In pondering this as a real world application/solution, in which we humans describe a photo, save the description as text, and then rely on AI to render the image.... I could see this being like a game of telephone. Some people will describe the photo very well (as I believe was done to generate the middle image in the article), whereas some people will be very non-descript with something blunt like "my cat", which will then be rendered veeery differently.
I’m very familiar with many of homebrew’s faults, but none of them are dealbreakers for the casual “install latest version of tool”. If you don’t like it, just install the same tools using macports.
One small caveat, my parents always made a point of showing me the interest my savings account made on the monthly statement and it was like $2 which had the opposite effect they intended.

You’ll probably have to offer a really high interest rate to make it effective for a kid that thinks of weekly time scales not years.
A little on a tangent, but I've been thinking that it might be valuable to keep this offline knowledge infra around for backup, afaik properly stored book has lifespan that is still an order of magnitute longer than any digital storage.

Yes to strength training first. However, please be careful doing only highly repetitive exercises like pushups and crunches every day - it's a good way to develop joint injuries as you get older. Build up slowly and switch it up - like a healthy diet, variation is the key to longevity!

Gosh - I've worked at shops where we handled multi-terabyte images and we'd regularly stream large chunks of that while debugging tools. I've also worked at places where data was king and 125GB of stuff might be a reasonable dispatch of data to help someone debug.

The volume of data is irrelevant - source code is usually teensy tiny and of far more value to companies than, say, three months of livestream chat logs.

I'm not certain what security hardware you're thinking of - but I'm pretty sure I hate it already since it doesn't effectively guard anything while making everyone's lives difficult. For effective corporate security you need 1) data use policies and 2) access control lists - both of those are generally more effectively implemented at an entirely software level.
here's a business model for it:

Implement ActivityPub (an existing protocol recommended by the W3C), and offer their underlying social networking services as hosted and managed software for big orgs to operate on their own domain. With interoperability, they'll work across domains. Target customer is anyone with at least 100K followers (so gov, institutions, media, et cetera).
>That's called the fallacy of the excluded middle (sub-species "argument by demanding impossible perfection") and it doesn't negate my own point at all. No, 100% elimination isn't possible, but every reduction helps and literally saves lives.

It entirely negates your point since it's predicated on the the fact that un-vaccinated will supposedly continue eating up hospital resources. There is no future where this will stop until the disease has run its course. Therefore, your point is moot. Even more so because you have no objective number of vaccinations or hospital cases that MUST be met.

>Simply untrue. There are still countries that won't let me in because I'm from a country with too-high case levels.

You really seem to have an issue grasping that those restrictions are coming from the governments of those countries. They are not coming from un-vaccinated people. What's happening is that you've let them create a boogie-man and brainwash you into placing the blame away from the people who are causing your issues. This is how fascism and authoritarianism spreads. I'm sure you can think of a few times in history where certain leaders singled out specific groups for blame and how that worked out.

>There are more that I wouldn't go to because I don't want to be in a small confined space for hours

That's on you. No one else has a responsibility to protect you. If you don't trust science or the vaccination then it sounds like you have some major health anxiety that needs to be dealt with.

If you are vaccinated and you're going into a country like NZ there is ZERO logic in saying you cannot enter due to your country of origin having a higher case load. This absolute stupidity. Place the blame where it lies. NZ is full of anti-science morons, it has nothing to do with un-vaccinated people in the US.

Give me hard objective numbers that must be met for all restrictions/lockdowns to be dropped please. I'll save you some time. THEY DON'T EXIST. This means they will continue to string you along blaming all of their authoritarian tactics on specific group of people that aren't actually doing anything to you.

Let me guess... you also blamed the kid who talked too much in class when the teacher took your pizza party away? It wasn't the kid who took that from you.

This reminds me of the Albertsons guy on Blind who inadvertently created a meme when he said that Facebook could be rewritten with a small cluster of Oracle dbs. The meme is that Albertsons people are so elite, they work and think in a higher level of existence, way above the scalability bs us commoners are accustomed to.
There are much better cases than this; in this case a monorepo makes it slightly more likely to be caught rather than less. (A monorepo can get to Google size and then you can't check it all out at once and it needs bespoke tooling, which can make it harder to pull this off.)

On the flip side while many smaller repos _can_ have independent ACLs, you are very unlikely to set those up until you reach a certain scale -- and then when you reach that scale it gets hard to implement ACLs across everything at once. So your engineers probably all have access to all your repos until you reach a very large size anyway. So the question becomes just "can someone write a for-loop over all of the repo names and check them all out," and it's like, yeah, that's not terribly hard, I as a programmer can do that pretty easily in bash.

Ideal repo size should not in my view be directed at "how do I prevent compromise to the external world," because VCS is not designed to give you the superpower of being resilient around being compromised. Rather VCS is trying to give you the superpower of time travel. So you should probably scope your repo to "what is the unit that makes sense to time travel with?" -- in other words if you are adamant that you have these independent services which operate decoupled and running this one backwards by a year should not affect that one, then those services should be in separate repos. If on the other hand they have some moderate coupling and rewinding this service by 1 year would break the APIs that that service uses to communicate... then those should ideally be in the same repo so that you can coordinate changes between them to their shared protocol.
