> Must become negative

If everybody likes to accumulate money instead of spending and thus have the preference you mentioned then there is no way interest rates would become negative (and I mean really negative not the couple of tenth of a percent).

Money is a human abstraction, and thus it's inherently political, the most unpopular thing out there is inflation and negative interest rates. You have 100% people against it. Inflation is possibly more unpoular than a recession because it raises alarm bells in the populace even in absence of a recession.

At least with taxation it's something like 80-20 and the only thing which is a matter of discussion is how much taxation needs to be imposed and how to spend tax money (Republicans want to direct them towards the military and defense, whereas democrats want to direct them towards social spending and welafare)

It's a cultural thing, but even old people with few years left are all about accumulation, you'd need some sort of common shock such as young people and adults in their 40s collectively have a close call that would force them to evaluate their mortality and prompt them to structure their finances to "die with zero or negative net worth)

Exactly. The reasons to adopt (or not adopt) cloud, like any technology, should revolve around business questions, not technical ones. Of course, technical ones are critical to business success, so you can't ignore them, but they are subservient to the business concerns.
Say "I support the AfD." (which is a bit like the German equivalent of saying "I support Trump") in Germany though and you are villified beyond belief and declared an Unperson, so while I may agree with your point in general, Germany certainly isn't a great example to support it.

Yeah, happened to me with an account that:

* Never used anything above the free tier

* Never had a credit card attached

* Was only ever logged in from the UK

* Hadn't been used at all in 3 years

Naively my root credentials were the same as my Linkedin details (which were all leaked), and one random Sunday, someone from Brazil logged in and spun up 50+ GPU instances across multiple zones. Amazon let that go for around 12 hours before they sent me an email asking me to check that my deployments were working as expected. £2,000 in just those few hours.

I did get the fee waived (though they took two weeks to finally decide this), and I accepted that it was my fault for reusing passwords and not enabling MFA (which IIRC may not have been an option when the account was opened) but I was very critical of Amazon for not preventing expensive nodes from being spun up when there wasn't even a card attached to the account.

I have worked with hundreds of companies moving to AWS, and believe that this is the answer.

People are investing in cloud because its faster, more agile and better, not because it's cheaper.

The top line looks expensive, but if you then do the correct analysis on the cost side of the equation (taking out staff costs and DC costs) then I think it is either close or in the black from a cost perspective.

If the business case was really bad, I don't think we would see the rapid uptake we have seen.

This is a problem with the search engines, not the person who writes the website. (And I question why you wouldn't use the rather well organized docs.python.org for looking things up in the standard lib.)

It may be time to admit that general purpose search engines are fundamentally broken and that the only useful way forward is subject-specific search that allows users to be in control of their results.

Good news. Hope they start the clinical trial process soon. I would think some govt would be interesting in funding such trials given the uneven vaccine distribution we’ve seen so far.

> For example, in America you say "I'm a Republican." but in Germany you say "I support the CDU." Notice the difference? One is an identity, the other is an action. Guess in which of these countries you can have polite (even if heated) dinner conversations about politics!

I doubt that element of linguistics has any real importance. In Romance languages you'd say « I'm a left/right winger », « I'm a socialist » etc. and the social culture is very much less radicalized than in the US in that respect. Politics was a normal subject of conversation at the family table when I was a kid, and it's a normal one at the bar as an adult. If anything the inability to be able to talk about politics is taken as a sign of immaturity or poor education.

This being said, I do think your original point about identity stands and touches upon the core of the issue.

> That often means the decisions you make you know are not the most optimal, but the most politically optimal.

Not intended to quibble, but to me that smacks of the dreaded "mid-level management" tier.

As a lead or principle, I describe what I do as being a "fire-and-forget resource". I build everything myself and don't require supervision. I will deliver regardless and am also able to justify my decisions. People seem to be happy so far.

That process is almost completely independent from meat-space concerns, aside from the requisite UX design.
I feel like whenever this topic comes up, people go back and forth over whether or not AWS should allow you to set a hard limit and what that entails on both sides / why it’s impossible.

I feel like a better approach would be to specify what services you actually want to run and that requires a separate secret key that you will never use for other development tasks, and you have the ability set hard limits for those services.

AWS already has hard limits on things like the number of S3 buckets you can create, that require manually requesting an increase if you want more. Why can’t people say ‘I only want a maximum of 5 EC2 servers, and I don’t want the ability to spin up anything above a t3.large(translated to maybe ~20cents/hour per server)’. A similar approach can be taken for other resources.

This gets around the issue of ‘what should AWS do if you hit your spending cap’ by allowing you to set an upper bound in the amount of hardware you can actually spin up. It also solves the issue of a compromised dev key or root user account that would likely trivially allow someone to remove a spending limit anyway.
Open Access: What Is It and Why It’s Important for Science
For a while I worked at Kenwood House in Hampstead, London. Home of Vermeer's The Guitar Player.

As you may know, Vermeers are so few and far between that it's entirely possible to see every one (~36) if you're able to travel the world.

So, there exists a subculture of (often) wealthy Vermeer completeists who travel the world doing exactly that.

Every month or so at Kenwood, we would be instructed to come in early to host such collectors who had made arrangements for a private viewing of this Vermeer.

An entourage would roll up around 6-7am to whisk a high-flyer into the room the Vermeer was displayed.

More often than not the individual - who was so determined to see this painting they'd paid English Heritage who knows how much - took a momentary glance and was off again.

I'm talking all that trouble for 1-2 minutes in front of the Vermeer so they could check it off their list. And then they were off.

I'd happily spend the next 8 hours in front of it observing public responses and daydreaming of how to prevent elaborate art thefts (the painting was stolen by the IRA in 1974 and IMHO could certainly be stolen again).

Like anything it's just pros and cons. Sure you save money by doing on-prem or just buying servers and colocating, but you also get all the headaches that come with that.

I used to work at one of the most popular fast food chains. I had one project that was internal to them and one that was customer facing. The internal product, a search engine for documentation ran on-prem while the e-commerce store ran on AWS. Running the former on-prem was just fine.

I'm sure glad we were on AWS for the customer-facing site, though. We'd run ads during the Macy's day parade, college national championship, etc... dear lord I could not imagine wrangling the necessary people to scale that out from an infrastructure perspective. It was very nice just doubling the number on our ASG, failing over to the secondary database, launching another DB instance with double the capacity, and repeating for the second one.

Between those popular ads and DDoS attacks I'd say AWS was a win there, but internal tools don't benefit from the cloud as much. Also not an MBA, but I feel like that's a rule a thumb you can add to the repertoire.
Common POS problems for retailers: how custom POS development can help
What about the people that live there and use the road? A car is something luxurious and yet also something a lot of people are dependent on by now. I technically wouldn't need one since my workplace is very near, but that isn't the reality for most people. There also is no Uber outpatient care and many people have responsibilities outside their nearest starbucks. You won't "solve" the need for individual traffic with a sidewalk, that is just the reality of the situation.

I live in a city with a car free city core. Of course we have more cars today than before the change around 20 years ago.
Always keep in mind that sometimes the "principal engineer" title is just a company's only way of hiring a senior engineer because their pay bands are so far below market rate.

Enforcing Immutability in Your Double-Entry Ledger
This is all at the sacrifice of decentralization zkrollups and zkporter (one roll up solution) will eventually be able to handle transactions at that clip while being decentralized. The energy consumption point is incorrect as moving to proof of stake Ethereum will be using a fraction of the energy it uses today, however at the cost of capital concentration in the hands of validators which I actually see as a negative for all of these proof of stake blockchains.

I think the scariest thing that people think of and I originally thought when I heard Ethereum will scale with "Layer 2's" is you are sending your money to a blockchain you do not have the keys to do not actually control the funds. The layer 2 scaling solutions will seamlessly interoperate with the current dapps that will be ported over looking seemless for users. You are essentially holding your capital in a contract you can call on at anytime and retrieve to the settlement layer (Ethereum layer 1).

These are the trade off imo and do not make either system better. I just prefer decentralization if I'm holding capital on a blockchain for an extended period of time.
>The money is not the issue.

Money is ALWAYS the issue. Whether you can pass along increased cost to your customers or not is entirely dependent on what your business is and the competitive landscape of it. I don't care how "agile" the cloud makes you, if your cost of IT is more expensive than the revenue you bring in, you're bankrupt. It's the running joke around here about people who build autoscaling k8s based infrastructure for a site that could be hosted on a $5/month VPS with even a little bit of tuning and caching. Complexity for the sake of complexity is called stupidity unless you're doing it as part of an educational experience. Going to production with needless complexity is a great way to ruin a good idea.

>Cost is not the same as value.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't state that cost is the same thing as value?
How did they close them? In Toronto they put up caution tape. The people walked through it. They placed reasonable restrictions, and the unreasonable ones were ignored. Honestly one of the biggest benefits of the pandemic (and there were very, very few) was the transition of classrooms, community and family events to the parks. I've never seen them so active and busy and it gave a liveliness to the neighbourhood that was refreshing.

Bank of America built their own cloud. They say they save 2 billion a year.

https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-americas-350-million...

It seems no company wants to be in the business of in house IT Systems. They think moving all their infra into the Cloud absolves them of all the responsibility of owning it themselves, they don't give a shit how much it costs but then tell you everyone has got to save money and tighten their belts.
Ugh, I wouldn't wanna be releasing a product relying on hardware under these circumstances. Sometimes the best reaction to a crisis (such as this one leading to delays) is quitting altogether. It doesn't mean it will not restart again at some point (nor that it will!), its taking your loss and putting your money and energy elsewhere. Furthermore, it does something positive: it reduces demand, increases general availability. Which in turn has the potential to reduce incentive to increase price.

Another example: with the high gas price in Europe I feel more incentive to use more clothing, do more sports (increases blood circulation / body temp), and less electricity/gas. I don't want to force it upon my young children though, but I can afford the higher gas price. If you can't, you have to adapt.

No, but it can make value go negative. Money is always the issue. When isn’t the issue of a private business not ultimately money?

Amazon should notify you if the limit is changed. You should also be able to set non-editable limits. There's no way I, as a private individual, would spend 45000$ on AWS.
The Great Bifurcation
> The pandemic ended for most people months ago

Most people in the US you mean? Look around at the rest of the world. Only around 60% of the world population has received at least one dose of a vaccine, and that's skewed dramatically towards developed countries. Meanwhile the virus, which knows no borders, is continuing to mutate out there.
Maybe you are not aware of this but the vaccines don't prevent the spreading of the virus. This is because they prevent you from becoming sick, not from becoming infected or being contagious.

And after 6 months the effect of the vaccines starts declining and after 9 months they don't work anymore. That's why booster campaigns are starting now.
So far I've got these results:

Maybe on more complex ARM processors the results will be better.

Update: It looks like I need to use inline assembly for AArch64 or GCC where it can make two CSEL instructions from the same condition - replaces them with if-else branch.

And I got better results (below) than when tried to avoid this compiler behavior but didn't use inline assembly (results above).

linux-5.15.7.tar.xz : 25.12 --> 23.85 (+5%)

Does anybody else think western monetary policy is largely responsible for this? If you interfere with the denominator of a time value of money formula and push down the discount rate, security prices go up disproportionately to their actual cash flows.

Low interest rate policy might 'create jobs' (inefficient ones), but another direct consequence is that anyone holding ownership of cash flows watches their net worth go up while wage earners get priced out of meaningful ownership of the economy. We've been doing this for more than a decade.

I'm not super-well educated on this topic (just a BA) but so far no one has helped my understanding out with a refutation.
