Ask HN: Object storage for $.02 per GB egress
Hello, what providers do you use or know of that provide an (ideally) s3 compatible object storage with (at least) signed urls for auth that charge .02 or .01 cents per GB egress?

I don't you're lazy. It's just that you're taking the wrong approach. I've done an analysis on what makes successful people tick and this is what they have in common:

1. Preparation/Research/Attention to detail. A good deal of masterpieces were researched for about a year or so before anything started. Will Wright doesn't start away thinking how he'd make a game of something, he'd just keep reading more about the topic and then get fascinated about things that would otherwise be boring, like traffic theory.

2. Beginner's mind. They approach problems like they don't know the answer, but learn a lot so that patterns are clear.

3. Passion. They can't stop doing it, can't think about other things. Probably a side effect of heavy research. It's easier to build passion than discipline.

4. Self-doubt. Often the first thing people bring up in interviews. You have to come up with a solution yourself. For some, it's building the thing before sharing the idea, because they know others will bring them down. For others, it's accepting that failure is normal. Or some take on a very small piece.

5. Effectiveness. Prototyping (especially writers). Research. Most don't follow a usual track or try to be good at everything, e.g. photographers may only take care of the basics of lighting, many writers are dismissive of character, plot, prose and so on. This goes along with beginner's mind.

So for the most part, it's not that you're untalented, mentally unhealthy, or demotivated. It's probably that you're going at it at the wrong angle.
`years::4`? I don't know. What not `4::years`?

Also, symbols converted to integers means the receiving end has to already know exactly what they are.
How does that differs from the likes of MessagePack and CBOR?
Ions text format is a nice JSON alternative while it's binary format is very compact and allows for efficient sparse parsing. Fields are prefixed with their length so you can skip over unneeded fields or structs while only creating objects for values you'll use.
this is so not true.
it's not that majority Chinese people don't like their government. They hate it.
But I get it how you come to that. The chinese people you come across are by the chinese standard rich, super rich and hyper rich. Although to you they may seem just middle class ish. They are winners of the chinese game, large in number but still quite smaller in proportion to the chinese population. They are the people who benefit from and enjoy the servitude suffered by other Chinese people. If you're a governmental official or tech manager in a big Chinese city, you make money as on par with your counterpart in U.S. or even higher while enjoying 15 mins food delivery to your doorstep at cost of less than 1 U.S. dollar. Why is this possible? because local economy is destroyed in China and if you want to survive you have to go big cities accepting whatever meagerly paid job you could find. There is plenty of land you say. How about being a farmer? No, crop prices are mandated by state and selling to anyone else other than the state is a crime. So, suppose you are the "middle-class" people in China, how could you not love Chinese government? Chinese government creates so many slaves at your service. In the same light, how could any American people not love Chinese government? You enjoy super cheap stuff thanks to the Chinese slaves.
Well Chinese people who are de-facto slaves in the country and who are the majority, would they love their government? Yes. Chinese people are different. They think differently. They have a different culture. They love hellish living conditions and working 12hrs day 30 days a month for something like 500-700 usd wihtout any benefit and security whatsoever while watching their government officials and government affiliated people splashing their wealth on a world stage and feel happy. Sophisticated experts on China like you tell us so.
I got tons of downvotes for a china comment a year ago. I'd love to see the crowd here to downvote me again by something like, lets say China is evil, but the whole world (especially U.S.) is just as evil. Here are examples, see? So China does not do anything wrong. You are are spreading false information and hatred. Justice will not be done if you are not muted(downvoted)
This is not an “increasingly clever” attack, it is monumentally oblivious to anyone but a luddite
> I've been using mine daily for around 10 years, and yes, you are entirely correct. If I could somehow clean all the coffee stains and grime it has accumulated it could probably pass off as new!

Same... Once in a while I took all the keycaps off of my HHKBs and vaccuum clean everything, then clean everything using q-tips, clean all the keycaps one by one. They're looking close to new despite heavy years of daily usage.
22 years ago Napster existed. 21 years ago the Gnutella (LimeWire etc.) and eDonkey2000 networks existed. 20 years ago Kazaar and BitTorrent existed. Around that time, LAN parties with hundreds of seats and 100mbps connections existed, and attendees would use Direct Connect or simple SMB shared to download pirated media for 24 hours straight.

This is mentioned in other comments, but a large part of the reason streaming services got going was because piracy was so much more convenient than the brutal grind of actually paying for something. Users could be sitting in their living rooms with wallets out ready to go, and still choose piracy, because the only other alternative was waiting for a physical CD or DVD to arrive.

If the streaming wars do too much damage to consumers, they'll just flip the playing board and go back to piracy.
Beria really was in charge of the early Soviet nuclear weapons program, and, while everyone was terrified of him, he was apparently good at managing the program.

The classic joke about that, and it may not have been a joke, is that after the first bomb worked, the people who would have been shot if it failed got the Hero of the Soviet Union award. The ones that would have been sent to a labor camp got some lesser award.
"A gracious hello. Here at the Phone Company, we handle eighty-four billion calls a year. Serving everyone from presidents and kings to the scum of the earth. So, we realize that, every so often, you can’t get an operator, or for no apparent reason your phone goes out of order, or perhaps you get charged for a call you didn’t make. We don’t care!"
The issue I imagine here is that calling the bank can be costly both in hold time and in phone fees. If banks were able to remove this disincentive to call by ensuring that their phone lines have zero wait time, and offering to immediately call back to avoid billed-by-the-minute phone charges (or in the case that they already offer this, by making it clear to customers), then I think there’s be a larger uptake of the idea of “hang up, look up, call back”.

As it stands, I’d be afraid of needing to wait 30 minutes in hold, and getting billed 30 minutes of call time by the phone company for the privilege. I’m not from the US, so it’s possible that your banks are doing this part better than the local ones, but that’s always the worry with the phone for me.
Any evidence for this or is it just wishful thinking? The more diverse a group is the harder it is to communicate because of culture/language barriers. So it doesn’t seem to be obviously true to me.
Model Fs are the capacitive ones? I know they're good but I never got into that: I found Topre before going there and I'm a happy camper since then!
I once panicked that someone was getting ready to withdraw funds from my account because I saw those two <$1.00 auth charges. I called my bank, and they panicked, and immediately created a new account, moved the money into it, and closed the other one. Like within 5 minutes.

Turns out I forgot I told a friend to reimburse me for beers we had a few weeks before that, and his payment service was verifying my account.

Online banking and all of this digital access to my monies makes me nervous as heck. Double-edged sword. (Yes, I have 2TF hard tokens on all major accounts.)
I am absolutely with you. At least unsupported Windows versions should be eradicated where at all possible. Sadly, this isn't the reality we live in as I described at length.

Only including 240/4 and parts of the multicast space perhaps in the unicast extension would most likely minimize the impact to potential legacy use-cases and setups and be the 80/20 kind of compromise.
so how do I do diff and merge (resolve conflicts)?
The interesting question isn't 'how', it's why.

E.g. one of the 'metro's in the UK is a tram system in Manchester. And the one thing people might call a 'metro', when compared to other cities and countries is the London Underground, which everyone including the government[1] calls The Tube. And that's just a red ring with a blue line through it.

The more I think about it, the more bizarre it makes us Brits sound. Tubes, choobs, toobays...

This is simply not true. Tech companies are leaning backwards to hire woman. I myself have gone out of my way to hire female software developers. And have hired quite a few who were excellent.

I designed iodine thrusters for a different company. Your description of how you store/flow the iodine is correct and it's no more complicated than that. It's actually an easy propellant to work with due to its easily controlled vapor pressure (through heat) - the main issue with designing these systems is dealing with how outrageously corrosive iodine is. It. Eats. Everything.

You can technically liquefy/boil iodine (I've done it a few times). It happens around 110C IIRC.
I’m using silent red and I don’t find them too noisy.

One of the main advantages of a mechanical is that they are often programmable so you no longer have to rely on software based methods to change key mappings. Caps lock is Escape everywhere all the time.
>A favorite of mine is Thrust Augmented Nozzle or TAN, where, at low altitudes, extra propellant is injected into the nozzle (not the chamber)

and that gets close to my favorite - air-augmenting regular rocket engine. Very simple and bumps up your thrust and ISP up to 2-3x http://www.astronautix.com/g/gnom.html
If there was ever a public service job where I could receive scam reports, and trace every single scam text and call back to its source and take action against the gateway carriers allowing these scams to enter domestic copper, I would apply immediately. So much time, needless worry and anguish imposed on innocent people who simply want to trust a communication protocol that should be trustworthy.
One data model, two serializations of it.
Banks have 1-800 numbers which are free and generally most phone plans I’m aware of are unmetered by minute
Debugging tools in Linux are in a really sad state indeed, certainly for collecting intel on production machines when crashes happen. Ironically the kernel is almost advanced here, because at least you can rely on the stacktrace working.

In userland, there is ancient stuff like libunwind - last I tried it on ARM, it was too dumb to follow the instruction pointer on a NULL function call. Not to mention there is some sort of deadlock when you use an external crashdump handler - the crashed process hangs in the kernel trying to feed your handler the dump and that interferes with using ptrace to find out what happened. The only reliable way is to put the crash handling hooks directly into libc, like Android does it - but that is not a thing at all with musl/glibc.
Libertouch was also a luxury high quality rubber dome keyboard like Realforce, but it's not known outside Japan. It uses simple electrical contact switch rather than capacitive,
but feeling/mechanism are similar to Realforce. It also support changing weight by replacing rubber. US ANSI layout is also available.

Libertouch is the best feeling switch I've ever used including Realforce/HHKB. I love this but its full layout with tenkey is pain.
Hmm? I'm not sure what you meant, could you rephrase?
I have a dedicated Telegram group for mechanical keyboards, and some enthusiasts (around 500+) hang around. I discovered the joys of keyboard during the pandemic, and it made for a delightful experience. I have cycled through several options (PBT keycaps/ switches) and found the "perfect combination" through hotswap (that allows me to replace switches) and pudding keycaps that makes for a delightful visual experience.

I am not a gamer, but a typist. It's reassuring that the strokes are happening the instant I expect them to. Totally worth the experience.
It will definitely be big news when it happens. Her death doesn't occur in a void - the throne will have someone else's cheeks assigned to it.

It will be impossible to not talk about the future of the monarchy when she dies, next year or in 2028. It would be BBC's duty to report extensively on it.
Nah. A post-scarcity, open-source-like solution is letting people sponsor art creation. An NFT is creating artificial scarcity: one person thinks they "own" a digital asset.

It seems like an odd choice to make the type "metadata" a prefix to the value, rather than a separate field. It feels like overloading. What's the advantage?
Heh, touché, I probably should have specified CEO of major corporation. Since technically anyone with sufficent money and expertise could become CEO of a useless shell company that does nothing and lacks even a vague plan to develop a business model. (In the US at least.)
No need for an extension -- I'm paranoid and rather not install anything unless absolutely necessary -- when a simple one-liner bookmarklet will do:

javascript:(() => { document.querySelector("video").playbackRate = 16; })();

I make a few copies for different rates (1.75x, 2.5x, etc.); this is the one I use to fast-forward ads whenever my ad-blocker fails.
That is an awesome story.
The tricky bit is I know some legitimate departments of my bank follow this policy -- so if they make an outbound call to me, they will trust what I say on the phone, but if I hang up and call them back, they will take down my number and call me back later.
Maybe nothing noble about it, but it sure feels good to be the best at something or close to the best and respected and successful
> I don't think it's expensive or a luxury item at all.

They are expensive though. I own three (I've got several computers and I take one with me when I travel) and I love them (daily driver since years and years and years: I can throw anything at them, they're rated for 150 million keypresses... per key) but... I do hate the pricepoint.

Just checking on Yahoo Japan for an HHKB Pro JP like I have: 40 800 JPY / 350 USD / 320 EUR.

Common... However good it is, it's still just a keyboard.

The criticism on the pricepoint / luxury item: I do agree with.
PCem has a voodoo emulated (with some caveats), that would probably be a good starting point.
That's how interpreted it. As the monks during meditation would say, don't try to fight your thoughts and have an "empty mind" which is impossible, but instead examine and observe your thoughts freely.
I saw the same thing with Venmo. Someone was sending money to someone else in smallish amounts $25>. But it was being labeled as me so I would get emails of "You sent $20 to SomeBody". I told Venmo, they didn't seem to care, but I was curious about how their scheme worked. I ended up creating a Trash rule for such emails.
I scanned the docs, and can't see what happens if you alter your data schema. Anyone know?

About 15 years ago, the torrent scene perfected the stack from a UX perspective. Everything was automated and xbmc was a player my 5 year old could figure out.

The licensing was off (obviously) but everything just keeps getting worse and the pirate setup still works best.

Even when I subscribe to these services it’s still better to use Plex to watch all shows together than navigate five different apps looking for new shows.
Do you want money or academic recognition? Because these will requaire different paths.
what's the advantage of an NFT over a database entry? The NFT doesn't give you access to the actual content, which is always at the discretion of the game developer (who can always reject your 'NFT ownership', in fact they're incentivized to do so)

And on the other hand if the game is open-source ported or anything it doesn't make much sense either because then by definition you have access to whatever you want

edit: also thinking about it, how does the NFT even prove you owned anything in the game in the first place? What do I write into an NFT that proves that I actually earned the stuff in the game instead of just making it up?
You really shouldn't do that with a cow.

For me, I taught myself how to program slowly over 3 years because I felt any other path wasn't viable for me.

I optimized for passing interviews and keeping managers happy.

Then I used my free time to code the things I enjoy, which are mostly 3d games.

Good luck!

This is a weird standard that has appeared as of late.

I don’t believe most of what you do outside of work should have any bearing on your job. Publicly disparaging your company, sure. Being convicted of a crime, sure. But being fired for a tweet in poor taste or attending a political protest is ridiculous.
Does there exist an ergo (split) keyboard with the same layout as the Realforce R2?

That keyboard has exactly the layout I want. But every single split keyboard has a horrific layout. Why can't there be a split keyboard with a normal layout and good keys..

This feels like an origin story for me. I borrowed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas from the library on a sleepy Air Force base in Texas. It still amazes me they had the book: the librarian was either celebrating the literature of ex-Air Force draftees or was some sort of subversive.

I was about 6 months into a 4 year hitch in the military and profoundly depressed at the prospect of another 3.5 years before getting out. Fear and Loathing along with Papillon were high points of the summer. It's still one of my favorite books of all time.
"White" is an overloaded meaningless descriptor.

What I'm asking is, everyday materials usually obey the Pauli exclusion principle

Why is the situation where an whole atom doesn't obey the Pauli exclusion principle much more exotic and unusual?

I mean, take a look at the wikipedia pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_boson and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_fermion - when one talks about composite bosons, it's exotic materials like superfluid helium, bose-einstein condensates, cooper pairs.

Since it's only a even/odd difference, I would expect that roughly half materials form composite bosons, and the other half form composite fermions, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
I forgot to buy this book! Thanks for the reminder, Gary!
Good question. I've quit my full time job and planning to take a long sabbatical, and I'd like to go back to being a mercenary^Hcontractor again eventually, but preferably with an agent that finds jobs for me. Not a middleman that charges 3x my hourly rate, I've been through that meat grinder before.

10% sounds reasonable, it's not much of a thing in the software engineering world and it seems such a good opportunity that no-one has been able to exploit. You find the client, negotiate the rate, deal with them on the admin side or when I need to fire them, I do the work. It'd be such a nice symbiosis, in my opinion. Why isn't that a thing?

Agents that are interested in an arrangement like that, my email is in my profile. (I'm in UK)
There was an article in the New Scientist (YMMV) about this subject about 30 or 40 years back. It described research that found (for what was thought by the researchers to be the relevant period in history) just slightly more that 10 percent (not 30% as this article asserts) of staircases were left-handed, that fraction being approximately equal to the proportion of persons or presumed castle defenders who would have been left handed. It drew the inference, compatible with the idea that castles, being large, might require a large number of defenders and would contain a sufficient number of staircases, that defenses would have been optimized by allocating defenders to staircases according to handedness when the aforementioned fractions were equal.
"Because who will put up with you if you don't even think you're worthy of love."

The answer is people who don't know the real you. Would anyone love you if they saw a clip show of all the lies, betrayal, hypocrisy, times you yelled at your family, embarrassing fails, wasted potential, etc. But for many of us that clip show plays daily in our heads as a reminder to stop being so shitty and it comes at the price of our self-esteem.
Oh, then it isn't helpful news. Headless does not support extensions.
