This is a horrible example that doesn't not apply cleanly.

To fix it, let's change it from buy per bag to per gram you want to leave the store.

So your canned soup costs at least 3 times more to leave the supermarket then in cost to buy it than to eat it in the supermarket.

This is not even an exaggeration. s3 is 0.024/GB and egress bandwidth is 0.09/GB
Robinhood was my first experience with stocks, and attempting to use a traditional broker's interface has really made me appreciate how good Robinhood's UI is. I guess it's one of those "you don't notice when it's working well" kind of things.

In fact, the meat of many (most?) functions is implemented using the (functions underlying the) primitives. It's kind of fascinating to skim through, if you're already familiar with array programming. The code goes way out of its way to reduce the impedance mismatch between J and C semantics.

A couple decades ago everyone was on static types. But then people got sick of the boilerplate, and in what I think was a backlash, dynamic languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, etc. took the world by storm. With the raised bar of developer expectations when it comes to agility, static type systems were forced to innovate, and now type-inference and related features are coming to all static languages and bringing us back around to a best-of-both worlds situation. Exciting times.

TOC 'Total Cost of Ownership'.

Nobody is paying for egress, they are paying for everything else.

AWS is focused on corporate IT so egress was always a secondary thing for them.

It might actually be more profitable for them to have uber-markups on that egress then to serve the web space that requires cheap bandwidth.
Netflix does not run their entire infrastructure on AWS. Final delivery of content still comes from OpenConnect (their own CDN). IOW, they migrated all of their non-CDN functions to AWS, but content delivery is still handled by OpenConnect appliances installed at key peering points within ISP networks.
But what if those people volunteer?
And to be fair it's not a bad point. AWS and CloudFront is not without it's problems, but every time I've tried to build anything non-trivial with Cloudflare's CDN I've found that some table-stakes feature turns out to be locked behind a $5000+ enterprise plan, with no option to pay a more reasonable price for just the feature itself and associated usage.

I've come to the conclusion that Cloudflare's CDN is only really worthwhile if I'm building something tiny and basic that will never conceivably need any of their enterprise features (and I've turned out to be wrong about this down the line on many occasions, so YMMV), or something super ambitious where I'm willing and able to go all in on the enterprise plan and hope that eventually economies of scale on egress costs will kick in and turn it into a good deal. That leaves a giant gaping hole in the middle where it makes more sense to go with a different CDN like Cloudfront or Fastly where the bandwidth isn't free, but advanced features are included or charged on a usage basis (these days most of my projects fall into this category).

I cannot speak to east of Seattle but for significant portions it is grade separated.

Of the 3 stops where it isn't, it has it's own lane on a major thoroughfare and only chances an errant driver crossing an intersection.

Now for the Seattle Streetcars, those are a different story. For the most part, they have a dedicated lane so they breeze past traffic, but could get caught if traffic is especially bad.

This has hardly felt like a strong negative response given my own short replies and fairly predictable attitudes but I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Another reason that I think it’s unethical to mix business/personal responsibilities this way is because it compromises the role for others who reasonably expect the service. An office manager who’s also doing PA work will likely give the latter precedence. In an HR role that creates a more significant conflict of interest.

At best it incentivizes neglect of needs from other stakeholders. At worst it’s a weapon that can be used for any shady kind of conflict resolution, including burying reports of fraud and abuse.
Masks are cheap and simple with no drawbacks. Ventilation is easy in many cases. Keeping one's distance costs nothing (which is not the be-all of social distancing, I agree). Vaccines are free.

These are all ethical, very effective and cost the individual almost nothing.

Enforcing social distancing is complex and incurs costs. For outdoor venues it seems to be less effective. What other methods are causing far more harm than good, far more harm than doing nothing?
Grew up in the PNW but thankfully moved away 25 years ago before most of the growth. In my opinion the PNW has long been the place where the growth goes unchecked but the cultural animosity for cars has prevented effective expansions of the transit infrastructure. I'm not saying cars are the solution, but I'm saying the pols and voters up there have refused to acknowledge the reality that cars play a major role in our current transportation scheme.

I applaud them for working to expand their light & heavy rail options, while also maintaining a (IMHO) decently effective bus system. But that obviously isn't enough. The reality is that people continue to choose single passenger vehicles and the government hasn't don't much to address it.

I understand the opposition to single passenger vehicles, but the failure to expand transit corridors when land was cheap will have lasting impacts on the ability to expand rail and mass transit networks as such expansion becomes impossible due to cost.

The reality is that, barring a major economic change(which, granted, may finally be here), people will continue to choose single passenger vehicles and not supplying the infrastructure for them means they are even less efficient while they sit in traffic.
Unless you live in a 100% isolated, self sufficient community, your number will be called eventually. If that's the tradeoff you want to make then enjoy your life. But bragging about your life being the same as it was 3 years ago isn't the brag you think it is. Meanwhile, everyone else is living 90% of the life they were 3 years ago, but they'll continue that for a long and healthy life.

>"You don't even seem to really disagree that it wasn't a sensible purchase for canada, if only because you don't seem to believe that Canada has a plan for its military that is sufficiently fleshed out to justify it."

That is a pretty fair assessment of my position, though I do think there are reasons why the F-35 makes sense, depending on what the Canadian air forces are supposed to do. The F-35 is a very capable aircraft, it's just not clear if the capabilities are suited to Canada's missions.

Usually the areas where Apple are behind are for simple reasons:

Competitor is using new unproven tech. Apple decided to wait.

Apple can't use new tech due to supply constraint (new tech supplier can't make enough to supply Apple).

Apple decided that new tech doesn't offer enough competitive advantage vs profit made selling old tech (720p camera vs 1080p camera).

Legislation plays a big role in encouraging entrepreneurs to play it safe or not.

Cf. banking. European fintech startups are doing extremely well. In turn, big banks have to catch up and adapt if they want to stay relevant. Thanks to EU regulation and investment in core infrastructure.

If we think about the cloud, I don't see what Europe is lacking if we really wanted to build an O365 competitor. But there's no stewardship, rather the opposite, cf. the lackluster response to the CLOUD act an other extra-territorial US bullshit. Instead we have OVH and Hetzner compete on price rather than features and quality, and underfunded open source software like NextCloud.

HTTPS can be implemented in a decentralized way without a single party having access to your sites visited. DNS-over-HTTPS is by its nature centralized. So is DNS. Your DNS provider has a list of all sites they’ve resolved for you, whether it’s encrypted over using TLS or not. Maybe that doesn’t go against your point, but I wanted to clarify that the two technologies have very different privacy implications.

My most useful watch for daily life and my job (pilot) has been a Citizen Navihawk JY8035.

I have many styles between the Apple Watch and a Garmin Fenix to a 5$ Casio. The functionality is amazing both day and night.

Features I wanted:

Automatic time updates to the second

Analog face

Digital second readout

Solar

Visible at night

Secondary time without any button presses (I use UTC)

I list it because it is the best designed watch I’ve used. I’d use it over a breitling any day for functionality. However I would gladly give up one of those circular dials for a date readout. It takes one rotation to switch between the secondary time and the date currently.

> And how exactly did the early US civil rights movement accomplish equality without "discriminating in the opposite direction?"

I don't know how to answer your rhetorical question that has nothing to do with anything I said, but the principle of liberal civil rights is equal opportunity and was more dominant in the early years. You can read more about it here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_opportunity

Again, if you didn't hear me say it the first time, it involves not discriminating on the basis of race, rather than establishing racial discrimination in the opposite direction. Majorities of Americans of all races, including blacks, support this principle and oppose racial preferences. See for example this poll on considering race in college admissions https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/25/most-americ...

> You're just playing rhetorical tricks here, and defining equality as discrimination.

I already called you out for making baseless claims that are completely at odds with everything in the OP's message. Now you're doing it to me. You're making stuff up in your head that no one said and projecting it on others.

You should spend more time considering the difference between your feelings about what someone said and the words they actually said. You can't point to any words that I actually said that remotely suggest what you claim I said.

It's not really that much magic. It's just a variation of EVPN-VXLAN plus smart NICs that segments and directs the traffic. Then they have normal VM hosts or nowadays devices with ASICs that handle the GW and NAT functionality.

While true, it only provides protection during the duration of the travel ban. And at the same time gives the population zero exposure to the virus and no chance to build up antibodies. So when it does hit, it will be like day 1.

So it's perpetually locking you into travel bans to be effective, which is in itself very harmful to a country in today's world.

It only works if everyone did it and you succeed in killing the virus. Right now that is no longer possible because the animal kingdom will keep it alive.
The early shuffle mini.
I find it interesting that most of the comments are about physical products.

The 'best design' is often something that's so frictionless and easy to use that it's invisible in day-to-day use. Everyday infrastructure like steps are something that's noticeable when they're off (e.g. spaced too far apart, or too steep); most are designed well.

It's easy to find things that are designed poorly. But much less tangible to find a 'best designed' item.

Just as an example: Hetzner's dedicated servers, which start around US$30/month, come with unlimited 1gbit connections (really unlimited, not "unlimited until we decide to throttle you").

If you max out that connection non-stop, you can push about 330 TB/month. The same amount of bandwidth from EC2 would cost roughly US$20,000.

McMaster-Carr has the best shopping website I've ever seen. The UI is beautifully intuitive; even if I don't know exactly what I need, odds are I can easily find something that will work and they can have it at my doorstep in under 24 hours, no matter how obscure. Even if I don't plan on buying anything, it can be helpful to click through the site just to see what is available. Because most categories of parts have surprisingly well written descriptions and breakdowns, the sire can actually be a good engineering resource.

I've bought from them many times before and have yet to be disappointed with what I got. It is definitely expensive compared to other suppliers or Amazon, etc. But you pay for the convenience.

I hear they aren't very good outside the US though, which is a shame.
> Microsoft, Google and Amazon have grown their market share to 66% of the total European market, with local providers contracting from 26% to 16%.

While it's certainly a problem that USA companies are swallowing the EU market, the EU has done nothing whatsoever to help itself compete with these companies.

It is nearly impossible to start a "startup" company anywhere in the EU. The overwhelming bureaucracy and risk-averseness of obtaining capital and venture investment drives the European founders out of the EU and to USA so they can get some money to start-up their little company.

This is not a problem with Google, Microsoft, or Amazon consuming the EU. This is a problem with the EU. They just can't make anything themselves.

It does, but that doesn't mean that the major west coast ports have adequate freight rail service.

It seems to me the solution is to have a major rail artery which at least allows freight to be delivered to a distribution center farther inland(Ontario, Palm Springs, or somewhere east). That would free the truckers from dealing with LA freeway traffic.

Another option would be a canal up to the Salton Sea. Obviously that's a much more major effort but it has nearly endless economic and ecological benefits.
