If all you need is Virtual Machines, stay with such a cheaper platform, that's not what you're getting AWS (or the other big ones) for.

You get them for the myriad of other managed services they provide, which let you build stuff that would otherwise take months, in days. The catalogue of AWS services is probably over 200 already, EC2 is just one of them.

Building on a cloud like that is much more "gluing together legos using Terraform and some code" than the alternative.

Configuring and maintaining open source solutions is a lot of work. Building everything yourself is too. I prefer to pay for AWS instead.

Their geopolitical significance and NATO membership will prevent this from happening even at the cost of cementing Erdgodan's power. There is also sizable community of Turks economically anchored in Germany.
I see no reason why all of that could not be done in software. Same as DVD menus.

For the record, VLC supports DVD menus and the Matroska container format (mkv, mka, mks, and the basis for webm) supports all of the features imagined so far. I believe the demand for the content far outweighed the demand for the presentation layer.

All of these forms of interactivity however didn't prove popular in the digital world. Think of DVD's again. How often would you have ripped a DVD into a 4 or 8 GiB ISO in order to preserve the full experience and how often would you have rather ripped just the video file ~400 MiB, reencoded using a modern codec. Netflix optimises for the latter.

If you allow for programability, all features of music albums and more can be recreated.

What people want is no fuss instant access to the popular music of the moment therefore we have streaming services with good enough quality for most people and vast enough but incomplete collections of music. All while navigating the maze of licensing internationally.

How many listeners do you believe would rather open Spotify/iTunes/WinAmp and press play to hear music and how many would rather navigate a album specific experience.

If experience is so important, it can still be done in the streaming focused world of today (without standardised formats like Matroska). Just package it as an app (native or web), publish it on the app stores and let the app store take a 30% cut. Apps do not appear to be a popular format for music albums or for movies, even though they were attempted.

> reduce the value of human intelligence and creativity, commoditizing them

Creativity rewards the creator. There is a pleasure in creating, thinking, & understanding that is entirely private. Nothing will ever change this. If you are an artist, or private philosopher, or tinkerer, or hacker, you know precisely what I am talking about. Nothing whatsoever in this world can ever change this. Some creatives do crave recognition and an audience (cue Spirit by Bauhaus) but not all. I have no doubt whatsoever that there are hidden masterpieces, hidden jewels of thought.

The fact that others, on the consuming end of creative works, also find pleasure is and has always been a side-effect. And not necessarily a positive side-effect. (Think of the 'commoditization' of art on the consuming side, as a means to signal social status (or as some would have it a means to launder money. ;)) Maybe once we have hack AI artist, we can finally be rid of hack artists (here is looking at you Andy). So, possibly a positive end on that score.

I've always found Frank Herbert's choice of words -- Butlerian Jihad -- to be right on the mark. There certainly will be a spiritual movement organized around opposing the notion that Human beings are merely meat machines. We love, we hate, we cry, we laugh, we know what joy means, we know how love feels.

Can your machines (or "machine off-spring") do that?
I know, but i'm just saying what the public is feeling right now here.

Russia is still selling their oil to india and china, and europe is slowly destroying itself with the anti-russian sanctions and many other internal things they do. Germany went from one of the strongest economies in the world to telling their people to wear sweaters at home, because they'll be cold, while countries oposing the sanctions still have cheap gas (eg 1.23eur/l in hungary).

Media is saying one thing, but people in the streets (and surprisingly, also in the comments everywhere, somehow not censored yet) complain and most not in the politically-correct way. Add to this the blatant censorship of media, eg banning RT in europe (let's be fair.. putin, being somewhat a dictator, banning CNN is perfectly understandable... but EU, "a pillar of democracy" banning RT, to me, seems a very very bad precedent), and stories like "evacuation of azovstal" (and not saying it was a "surrender") make people trust the media even less.

It's already a problem, and I suspect it will be a long term problem. Noble gases are made as a byproduct of steel production, as well. I would say, as an attempt at debunking and soothing, that this was pretty poor and two more weeks of OCAA training minimum is needed.
It’sa double edged sword, the average home price has doubled where I live but it’s also created a homelessness problem where it was non existent before. This seems to also have increased drug use and mental problems or at least exposed them on the public streets but probably both. When homes are cheap people can get by with very little, being poor is not so bad when you have a roof over your head and food and people around you. Now the pre are sleeping rough in the street or overcrowded in tiny apartments with no prospects of having their own home. I’m sure those who can invest in building and selling expensive houses are doing well though.
Ah, I slightly misunderstood. Still, you should always have your manifests under version control so this shouldn't ever be a problem :)

I'm starting to see all the problems with static diagram creation. I still think there can be more work in this area, maybe a full dynamic solution separate from the IDE that just helps you navigate the maze and make your own diagrams. With all the work that's been going into making developers' lives easier surely someone could focus on the exploring codebase part.

Zimbabwe had Hyperinflation more than 20 years after achieving independence and the civil war ended.

It was because of land invasions where land was stolen from productive white farmers (and later mines) and the resultant collapse of the agricultural sector and therefore loss of foreign currency which they tried to solve with money printing.

Sure, if you rule out rapid chargers, the math looks worse, but that's a bit like complaining about the availability of gasoline in the early 1900s.

If a cheap, reliable technique of halting or slowing down the "epigenetic clock" hits the market, and assuming its main effect on a population level is increased life span, wouldn't it make the demographics of most developed countries even worse?

It's still unclear whether or not "automation" will compensate an ageing population, and prevent a demographic collapse. But having a pill that makes people live longer (even if it's 5 to 10 years), wouldn't it be like throwing an entire gas station into the fire?
I am fully bought in to the Apple ecosystem, but Apple Music is the poison pill that has me questioning this new prison I have chosen.

The iOS app wastes three out of five buttons at the bottom that I can't change to something useful: "Listen Now" "Browse" "Radio" are all weak "discovery" tools that are probably more about label kickbacks than actually helping me find new music that I like.

And really, I don't need your discovery Apple - what I need is better library discovery/organization tools because I have a massive library which is unwieldy in your crap apps.

The album-centric focus is a huge PitA due to singles. Give me an Artist playlist that doesn't take up a precious playlist slot.

Maybe this isn't entirely Apple's fault, but when I see greyed out songs or albums that were once there that aren't anymore, I feel pushed to stop giving these scumbag labels my cash through your service.

I left out the bugs, but I feel that the quality of their flagship services product makes them look like a dying company, not a premium brand worth 2.5t$
> Like programmers weave a magic wand around and bugs magically fix themselves. Why can't you make navigation fast?

While it's true that these are hard things to do, I think the author may be getting at a deeper issue here. For some reason the software world of today thinks delivering more crappy half baked features is more important than making usable bug free features, or even just fixing what already exists. I don't know where this idea came from, but it's a very annoying ideology.

The Unity game engine is another big corporation that does this. They released that demo awhile ago showing off how they can create realistic looking game scenes (the chess scene demo). I don't understand why they think that appeals to anyone. I'm pretty sure like 90% of people use Unity to make 2D games or low poly 3D games. And instead of fixing all their broken "features" they continue adding "features" nobody cares about or asked for.
Inflation is "measured" by tracking the price increase of some representative items like food staples or fuel. Prices of course are free to increase much more than 100%.
That isn't a good thing about HN.
Likely a good one. Most of my wearoffs happened due to scrolling or just normal pointer movements.
To be fair, Spotify is doing something pretty magical here. I can’t figure out how they usually start tracks playing within what feels like microseconds after I choose them.

Pre caching? Yes but sometimes I don’t see how it could have reasonably guessed that I might play that particular song, like when I start typing to search and then stab at an entry in the results.

Surely they also want to be doing some buffering, so if they are pre caching a tiny bit of songs then they need to load the next piece of data quickly before I’ve heard the first part, but there is no obvious issue where this fails, as I might expect to hear.

Also when I seek in a song it’s almost always instant. They have the whole song quickly enough for the whole thing to be seekable?

If they were just relying on great latency and bandwidth then there should be a lot more issues with the audio pausing or dropping out.
Some product basket costs $1 at the beginning of the year. At 100% inflation, at the end of the year it will cost $2. At 200%, it will cost $3, and so on.

It's not really about breaking e2e encryption but rather "reveal the identities of following users please". That could be due to all sorts of illegal activities (eg. hate speech, sale of banned substances, terrorism, child abuse, etc.)
Sanctions have to hurt to be effective. Europe foolishly integrated with the Russian energy economy in the 80s. We are rightfully reversing course on that mistake, but doing so inherently involves substantial pain. But not willing to pay the price is a furtherance of Russia's power, control, and mass murder of Ukrainians.
Oh please. And in the "old days" you couldn't buy just any random indie music in a record store either. Yes, "any" music is obviously an exaggeration for a mainstream music streaming service. I'm guessing I own a few things that aren't on Apple Music or Spotify. But the vast vast majority of music most people in the West listen to is on the streaming services. It certainly isn't just Top 40.

The problem with using managed services is you dump a ton of time making a solution that uses their custom APIs, and then you can be held for ransom to them because they can keep raising the price and you have nowhere to go. Having alternatives that are API compatible is a great way to ensure competition and protect against this.
Inflation is measured in price increases. So 100% inflation means the price increased by 100%, i.e. prices doubled.

Bluetooth has been a mess from the beginning. My first experiences with Bluetooth was it not working at all. It has since gotten much better, but it can still be finicky and compromised.

Device manufacturers such as Apple, Sony and others have actually done a pretty good job working around some of the limitations, but there are still moments of frustration, particularly with Bluetooth audio.
Podman has a few tricks up its sleeve that Docker can't do. Among other things:

- `--rootfs` lets you start a container from a directory instead of an image

- You can configure alternate container storage locations, e.g. to share a common library of container images among multiple machines over NFS

- As previously mentioned, it has the k8s-like notion of "pods" which are multiple containers sharing namespaces with each other

- It will play nice with systemd, both inside and outside of containers, and can generate systemd services for containers

I think the last point is really why Podman exists in the first place; IIRC, Red Hat's developers made a valiant effort to get patches into Docker to improve its cooperation with systemd, but the folks working on Docker weren't interested. If Red Hat's patches to Docker had been upstreamed, Podman might not exist.

what a bullshit article. After a lifetime of being a liberal democrat, 1 1/2 years ago I switched to the libertarian party, mostly for their anti-war stance.

I have been reading modern libertarian literature and listened to libertarian talks, and I have not encountered any bigoted or racist material.

That said, we are a diverse group, like democrats and republicans so there are certainly outliers, people with bad views of society, in any party.
Yes. Also if you run your app on AWS Lambda it's a lot easier to integrate with other serverless infra.
Oh, that's brutal. I hope it's not true.
Why do people think the goal is “perfection” rather than “better than the average driver”? If Autopilot is 10x safer than human drivers, we would have to be stupid not to mandate it much less tolerate it, even if it’s crash rate is non-zero. Human drivers kill 40k people a year in the US alone—that’s almost twice as many people as all homicides combined.
The details are wrong, but I think there's some merit in the general thought:

"Docker the company is having trouble monetizing their products...so I'm unsure about their future"

And, so the follow on of:

"Can I use compatible tools that don't depend on Docker, the company, as much?"

Makes some sense.
I see you follow the Chamberlain method of giving Russia whatever it wants because it won't possibly ever come back to affect you...
Same here, and worst of all is that in the past I though Gnome was linux (when I started using linux, Ubuntu was practically the only thing available to me) and I hated it. I then discovered there are a whole world of different desktop environments, and linux with KDE is now my preferred OS. On my job they gave me an Ubuntu laptop, first thing I did was install KDE desktop on top (later I discovered I was not the only one to have done that).

It's sad because I know there are more people that rejected linux at first because of Gnome, so if you see someone that doesn't like linux, show them a few screenshots of non-gnome desktops first.
Depends on the size of the company. Over $X revenue or over Y employees and you have to pay. Note that it says revenue, not profit there, be careful with that.

I think it comes from the statistical expectation. Like, if you were able to donate your kidney any amount of times, you would on average expect to lose your life on the 3,000th donation. So the question is, do you want to be the kind of person who would do that at the cost of your own life?

If something costs $1 yesterday but costs $2.50 today that is an increase of 150%. How inflation is tracked differs from country to country but typically it's based on looking at the prices for goods the average citizen might buy and tracking the price increases/decreases from year to year.
Apple Music definitely sounds better when paired with Airpods to my ears compared to Spotify. Am I imagining?
Managing to a limited inflation that is close to the actual growth in the economy supporting a fiat currency, is managing the currency so that it represents a stable store of value. Managing for full employment is probably a cofactor in stability, although a less direct corollary than managing inflation.
Yes, I agree, hence I said not apples to apples, but like said, the same exact vps costs over 10x as much on aws. That’s not good.

I encounter 10-10000x higher bills on aws ; most 0s are self inflicted but the last few 0s I don’t think you can erase in the same way with aws vs a good vps provider.
