Exactly, creators would license their work to their employers and if not much much sooner, at least when the creators have died the copyright would expire and the company (along with everyone else) would be free to continue doing what they want with it.

It depends on the level of rain, but there are affordable solutions to cycling in the rain to prevent you from getting drenched. I use the Rover cycling poncho from Cleverhoods to keep dry. It's mostly a regular poncho, but it has thumb straps you can strap on your handlebars and your legs are covered.

My son, who rides in a seat on the back, has a rain cover that provides shade when it's not raining and that we can zip an enclosure onto when it is to keep him completely dry.

If it's a heavy rain and we can't wait it out we'll take the car. But we mostly use our e-bikes as it's easier/quicker/more fun.

> Therefore, if my linux laptop was to die (like one of my dev's linux laptops did on Monday night) and then I was to miss a day of work, I could afford the difference between a linux craptop and a mac in lost productivity.

As a Linux laptop user with an overbearing asshat of a boss, I fucking love this misconception. Getting my working environment set back up after a fresh install is a git clone and 2 minute Ansible run (the majority of the time is spent on packages downloading).

Fortunately, however, if I want to ditch my boss for the day, I can blame Linux. Don't wanna be on video for that call? Sorry, Linux. Don't wanna attend the call at all? Sorry, Linux must have $(bofh excuse).

I'd have absolutely zero motivation to do this if it weren't for my boss blaming everything on Linux out of the gate, but hey, if that's what he wants to do, I'm gonna lean the fuck into it.

>A HN user reports a story of someone who burned 80 grand overnight by provisioning bunch of EC2 instances for testing and leaving them on.

So, ~$5000 per hour? Either a company cares about $5000 per hour, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then it doesn't care about $120,000 per day either. If it does, then WTF were they doing running a cluster at $5,000 per hour?

And by definition, anyone who wants to launch $5000/hour or EC2 instances, isn't able to rock up to a COLO or IT department and say "I need 1,000 96 core Intel boxes for a couple of hours."

Literally any other provider that can give you that service will require that you sign up to pay for $5,000 per hour, for how ever long you want to run them. There's nobody running a service that you go inside and ask for $20 on pump number 3. You're giving them a credit card, and then you're asking for an instance limit increase.

The author thinks this is a damning indictment of AWS when a small amount of analysis shows the killer feature underneath. It's what people want: to spend cash, immediately, on compute.

So when I was working at a startup, and I asked our COO to request an instance increase (to 250 instances, backed by his credit card) I made damned sure that I didn't "leave the cluster on". And that cluster gave us 2,000 cores! We couldn't have afforded to buy 250 servers!

Finally, when this happened to a colleague at a different company, we reached out to AWS and they refunded the money. Because if a company allows a developer to launch a $5,000/hour cluster, then that company is already spending a lot on AWS, and will certainly spend a lot more in the future.

> you can solve algebraic equations or calculus problems just by “pushing around the symbols”. But why can you do that? Where is the meaning, and how do the symbols capture the meaning? How does that work? The fact that symbols in general can somehow convey meaning is a deep philosophical mystery

The correspondance between symbols and meaning can and has been studied rigorously — it’s a main theme of Gödel Escher Bach and I’d recommend reading it if you find these kind of questions fascinating, even though it doesn’t have much to say about notation. The basic idea is that mathematical notation is working as a formal system whose semantics correspond to those of arithmetic. By pushing around symbols you’re applying inference rules of the formal system that encode axioms of mathematics.

> I find the provided arguments a bit baffling - you would be better off without AWS because you might forget to turn off $80k of instances?

Except that AWS (nor other cloud providers) specifically and intentionally doesn't give me a way to limit charges.

This ... is .. a ... big ... deal.

I'm happy with my site going down if I hit $1000 in charges in a month or $100 in a day.

Maybe some cryptobros broke into my instance because I screwed up. Maybe HN just threw a zillion people at my project. Maybe I just flat-out screwed up and opened an uber-expensive EC2 instance. It shouldn't matter. I don't want more than $1000 in charges in a month without me specifically and personally authorizing it.

The fact that I cannot do this means that AWS (and others) have specifically deemed this to be a significant source of profits. Who am I to argue with them?
Apparently before the flood there was massive amounts of water suspended high up in the atmosphere (but not falling as rain, hence disbelief of Noah's contemporaries about a coming flood). There was also water stored in rivers, lakes, oceans, and (ice?) on the surface of the earth. Most of the water in the atmosphere is what fell in the flood, causing some changes to the crust on the earth, and initiating the water cycle as we know it today.

But you don't even have to accept this sequence of events. Even now we have large amounts of water suspended in the atmosphere (as clouds) and large amounts on the earth's surface (as described above). I'm not sure what is inaccurate about the description of this general state of affairs in Genesis.
Totally agree and this mirrors my experience. I spent years tinkering with devops, custom VPSes, Ansible, etc.

AWS CDK is unparalleled experience. Truly a multiplier in productivity that I haven’t experienced in 20 years working on the web.
The developer experience is better. I personally like type safe templates, and just the JSX bits of React are one of the most mature type safe templating frameworks with very good editor support.
> I copied a bunch of standard CS algorithms from the internet. I rephrased them as Company Assessments. If someone publicly shared them I DMCA'ed their github repo. If they made a ruckus I shut them up with 25K VC chump change.

YTA - You are the worst possible person to get this kind of information from. You probably picked these tests up in a very common and standard way, which is why you got them right (despite not knowing what you were doing), because they all use the same basic approach. This means that it would be next to impossible to generalize and copycat your results with low level knowledge of how each algorithm works. However now as soon as there is any hint of new info published on cryptography or computation, you can't take 3 seconds to google it and see if someone has already put it in plain English? That wouldn't even make sense! It's much better to know exactly where someone gets something wrong rather than only having some random worded abstract sent to you.

> - $3300 + $1000 for upgrades/maintenance to cover 4k km works out to $1/km which is fairly expensive. Longer use will obviously amortize the cost further and the resale value of that bike is at least $2k, but still, I could buy a motorcycle/scooter and gear for similar money.

I just want to say, as someone who just got into mountain biking, this is a shockingly expensive sport and these machines are requiring surprising amounts of maintenance. The cheapest full-suspension bike I found was $1250 lightly used, and I promptly had to go spend $130 to have just the rubber of the front tire replaced (tubeless wheel - $70 part $60 labor). I admit I got boomed by the seller and should've asked for money back when when he told me the tire was needing repairs, but the bike shop I went to did not have low prices beside tune-ups or installs

> Our bill is $500K per year and we happily pay it because payroll would be way more. However it’s the richness of the toolset and on demand scalability that is the real win.

Yep. This is the value proposition.

How much of a FTE's time goes to maintaining a scalable, redundant, durable queuing system on par with SQS?

I can run something like 500k messages for free, with all of the same service guarantees as someone running orders of magnitude more.

If I need to run an order of magnitude more? It'll cost $3.60.

If our service blows up overnight and we need another order of magnitude more? There's no pagers, no alarms, no schedule getting blown up as suddenly someone needs to figure out how to scale our queuing solution to 10x capacity... it costs us $20 now.

Sure at some point when I'm passing like 6.5b messages/mo I'll make up a half a non-SV FTE salary that I could instead dedicate to maintaining a queuing system... but why? Most places I've worked were much more constrained with finding good people than paying them. If it's not our core value proposition, I'd rather outsource it and have people working in stuff that adds to the value _we_ provide. That will make us way more money than saving a few bucks on infra costs.
> Genesis also gives an order of appearance of life (plants -> animals -> man) that roughly agrees with the fossil record.

"Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b] came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

That seems pretty clear and explicit: man -> plants -> animals.

And then the first woman is formed from the rib of the first man.

Not to mention earth existing before the stars. Before even light!

How can you say this is all consistent with known science? Do you consider it a mistranslation or an absurdly contorted metaphor or something?

Loan forgiveness unlocks the spending potential of an entire generation. People have been holding off on buying their first home or having their first child because of the burden of their loans.

Parents compensate for child deaths by having more children. When those children don't die you end up with overpopulation. If parents know their children won't die they won't have more than three.
Holy cow. I was just thinking about all the crazy people in my neighborhood, drug dealers, etc. and how I probably wouldn't want my kid walking around alone. And then I realized that there is a middle school down the street and there are dozens of kids walking home from it, playing in the field, cussing up a storm. Kids come by and ask if we need yard work done. We just moved there last year and I genuinely teared up when the first trick or treater came to our door, every other place I've lived in the parents drove their kids to rich neighborhoods.

This is actually a very good way to filter out people. If someone doesn't have a bank account, there's a good chance they don't have legitimate work.

Alternatively, they could have had serious financial problems in the past and thus are blocked from opening a checking account. Either way, it's a very bad idea to get involved with them.

I was a kid in the 90s, and I had similar upbringing. Although I got to school using a bus up until highschool, I was generally allowed to roam around outside as much as I wanted, and most of my close friends had the same liberties. I have fond memories of dragging my friends into the woods for adventures, catching lizards and picking berries. I'm happy I wasn't a victim of the "it's too dangerous to let children be alone outside" approach to parenting that seems to be getting more and more popular, and I lament the lack of freedom many children have these days.
I’m sure it is possible because poor people do it all the time.

For most people for whom banks tend to make sense, it seems like an avoidable source of friction at best and a poor dying-upon-hill in general considering credit cards are issued by banks so online is out.

I mean once you’re six sigmas bought in to the system by running a legitimate business, it’s not a very high moral high ground assuming it is moral high ground at all.

> I looked into an e-bike but it seemed to make more sense to get a motorcycle. The bike, title transfer, helmet and some gloves wound up being less than $3k.

In the long run, the motorcycle will likely cost more than the bike, considering gas, insurance, and maintenance expenses.

Also, for 6 miles, it might not be worth to have an e-bike. I do ~17km round trip on a so-called "fitness bike", and after some training I go faster than e-bikes. :)

> I also decided it was probably safer to ride with traffic at 35-40mph than be riding on the side of the road at 20mph tops.

This is a good point. I chose a longer trip, but way safer with separated lanes for cycles.

And that's because there has never been one.
Why not dedicated servers? You are not "buying" dedicated hardware. You are renting it, just like a spot VM on AWS. (except the spot VM is temporary)

Anytime I see the comparison of cloud vs dedicated bare metal, it seems that the cloud advocates have been doing all their comparisons and calculations based on the alternative being to buy dedicated hardware and maintain it yourself in a colocated data center.
It should have kept charge easily if it was full when the winter started. I've two 36 V nominal packs here lying around in case the other one dies (but it never does) and they've dropped 0.5V from 39 or so over the winter.

Quite probably there was something wrong with that previous pack already that caused a self discharge rate so high that the pack had gone completely empty.

The best way to store them for long term is to charge to either 3.7 or 3.9 V / cell (depending on whether you want to check them in 3 or in 5 months).
You will note that all those things you mention are only impossible to you because you choose to believe the their impossibility.

Consider, if something happens once in a billions years, does the fact that you (and everyone who has ever existed) have never seen it happen necessarily mean it is impossible?
Presumably because someone with the rights to distribute it, either you or your school, uploaded it to them.

This is easily solved for with a decent rain jacket and rain pants.

Got it. I'd considered that but something about your explanation threw me off. A subtlety I missed was that you can't just do two forward partitions, because the second one begins exactly halfway through the array—one of the results would be placed there but it's probably not the correct start location for the larger half-partition.

I thought dropbox moved their 30PB+ data lake ONTO aws to get off of Hadoop or something because trying to do this on-prem, even with tons of tech talent and money, was not working.

They complained about onprem requiring 3 YEAR forecasts for capacity planning given their scale.

Here is what they said in 2020 for benefits of AWS:

---------------------

Hosts 40 PB of analytics data and supports 1 PB of data growth a month
Optimizes costs by moving cold data to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive
Uses Amazon EC2 Spot Instances for 15–50% of compute capacity
Doubles compute footprint using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances
Enables the testing of new technologies without damaging data or affecting users
Improved performance by six times for some job types
Deletes hundreds of files in a few seconds compared to 30–40 minutes
Runs more than 100,000 analytics jobs and tens of thousands of one-time jobs daily
