Ok technically yes, but their IP is probably shared.

For instance, Elon Musk has mentioned the Materials Science team he has works for all 3 companies Tesla,SpaceX,BoringCompany etc...
Oh this is good. I couldn't find it in your documentation but how big are the disks on these VMs?
I’m sorry you are right, I wasn’t well awake.
This is the curse in using unstructured data, and in sites like reddit banning self promotion.

Unstructured data is often always transformed (ETL) and with that method, things get lost in translation. As automation and SEO is twisted to fit expectations for results, you get an index of spaghetti that is damn near impossible to untangle as it grows, because the data sources are also constantly changing. I read an article about how people change the entire name and purpose of Facebook groups after they develop huge amounts of followers (To new and totally unrelated things) And that's how user bases are often grown now on many social apps...

Unforeseen trickery like that reeks havoc on unstructured query resources for very specific things. This is why structured and curated data resources worked with a lot less stress and more accuracy in the past.

No matter how much a concept is thought out, there will always be hackers that gamify it. It is harder to get away with hacking data in a structured data resource because it is easier to identify data anomalies and abnormalities in structured data.

Secondly, by the new wave ideal that self promotion is a bad thing, we're putting second hand information in the spotlight, and giving it the primary regard and credit... Many of the people posting things and responding to related questions for comment posted often have nothing to do with the authoring of the original content... They are also often the first and only ones to reap the financial rewards of ideas and things they didn't create. It's a pretty toxic rule to prevent people from promoting their own ideas online on any credible resource, but somehow it's been pushed as a reasonable practice for the past few years by possibly the same people that post information and stolen or copied ideas second hand. Content and idea theft is surging because of TikTok and other social platforms alone.

These things lead to a world where everything is posted without proper context and credit, and of course it allows people to operate without accountability for deception, harmful words, and for putting the profit in places where it will inspire more ideas from people who have proven track records and give them proper credit.

The world keeps screwing things up just to make a buck.
I don't agree with the point about audio plugins. Functionality is far more important when I'm evaluating audio plugins than looks. If a plugin has a "good, fancy" custom UI sometimes it takes longer to read labels or view the value of a knob. I usually opt for my DAW's default interface over a custom one unless there is additional information in the custom one. I find this keeps me in my flow and lets me manipulate the plugin more efficiently.

I'm sure some people buy plugins because how they look, but people also buy wine because the bottle, and books because the cover. Personally I'd rather buy audio plugins because they sound good and get the job done.

I hear ProTools and Ableton Live disparaged all the time for having simpler "ugly" UIs. Both programs remain popular because many people enjoy them for reasons other than eye candy. Perhaps it isn't that others don't have an eye for style, but simply that their exist other factors that people prioritize over style.
So what you're saying is, if I offer 10,000 gallons of ice cream for $100, but deliver an ice cream cone, I can defend myself by saying that what I delivered was more in line with what a typical customer would want?
This is how I think as well.
>> The most meaningful things in my life revolve around my significant other and family.

Im happy that this works for You but Im not sure that this is universally good way out of existancial dredd.

I would rather prefer people founding meaning first in themselves and their existance and only then add others to this equesion. Otherwise there is a risk of getting a lot of depressed people that play pretend together (speaking from experience unfortunately)
Saudi Arabia’s new mirrored city looks like a dystopian wall in the desert
I bought a thing with ANC for the ANC. It turns out that when I'm making calls the other person says I'm muffled and they can't make out what I'm saying. They sound equally muffled to me. Perhaps it's my mouth, vocal cords, or distance from mouth to ear that is faulty and not the device.

I've processed many tens of thousands of dollars through Wise. Now they've balanced their risk on a $60 purchase into not having me as a customer anymore.
How did Hetzner lie? They offered unlimited 1Gbit interconnect to this user every month they are subscribed. They did not offer "unlimited contract not subject to change you are entitled to the same conditions forever".
Ecommerce sellers have higher margins (gross margin 40%) than the other services and businesses you mentioned. So they have more money to spend on Ads.

Also Google competes with FB and has to split the advertising pie for those other services and businesses. Amazon owns basically the whole pie for the people who want to advertise products.
Wow, that's dedication!
This seems good. Yes, good. No one complains when Tesla gives free software upgrades to car owners. So to be consistent, Tesla should have the ability to also enforce software limitations.
Personally I like subtitles because I can watch with friends/family and not miss any content, even when they are loudly wondering who a particular actor is, or what they missed when they went to get snacks.
I think you might be mixing quarterly and yearly numbers.
I used to work for a visual effects studio in Los Angeles, we setup a Canadian office and wanted to do offsite backups from Canada to LA and from LA to Canada for redundancy. We found a provider who would give us dedicated unmetered 1gbps and then setup a simple rsync. It worked great, we hit 800mbps (the theoretical maximum with TCP overhead) and then 5 days later we got a call from the provider who was absolutely floored that we wanted to actually use the bandwidth we had paid for. Since we had signed a contract they were f'ed but we did come to some agreement in the end. They told us we were affecting all of their other customers.
It is only toy-sized by US standards. By the standards of pretty much any other country in the world, it's a normal-sized vehicle, even a large one. Go read about tuk-tuks. Visit Asia some time.

Vitriol?

Pity for a culture so dependent on a machine I personally dislike: the motor car.

Distaste and disdain for a culture whose example is destroying the world.

I reserve vitriol for more important things.
Please understand you are in the minority. We have been very happy Hetzner customers for years. I don't want any of what you advocate. I know very well that "unlimited" doesn't mean unlimited. But for us, it is unlimited for all intents and purposes. When we deploy new jobs, or change backup routines, and burst tons of traffic one month, I don't have to worry about it because over the long run we are using a totally reasonable amount of traffic.

And that's the thing: most people don't want to worry about this stuff. It's a minuscule fraction of people who care. And you just need to recognize that you're in the minority.
Offering a choice is tricky here.
Since failures are significantly affected by the software ability to properly manage the device (and needs to be updated periodically to keep that up to date).

So yeah you can choose to keep the old version and loose warranty, cheers!

Im not sure what the legal side of warranty conditions is. But outdated software is potentially a very real cost to the manufacturer in therms of extra warranty work.
My big red flag is “self driving mode that may kill your family”.
I remember years ago working with ISPs and many of their monitoring systems assumed that packet = 1500 bytes as a fixed measure. Running a DNS server at full throttle could lead to a situation where you'd get bandwidth charges for amounts higher than could be served at line rate.

I'm assuming modern systems do this better, but I've learned never to make assumptions when they benefit the billing party more.
It would greatly depend on your driving habits. I’m averaging 2k miles a month. My electricity cost averages around 4 cents/mile(14c/kWh). At my current gas prices($5.75) I’d need to get 142mpg to get 4 cents/mile. The rav4 is complicated because it’s both, but I’d get about 40% of my day on electric and 60% on gas. That means 4c/mile for the EV(even granting it’s as efficient as the Tesla which epa numbers aren’t as good) and 36mpg(epa Highway rav4 prime) on the Highway for 60% of my day. 36mpg would be about 16c/mile. So in an average day about 100 miles, it’d be 40 * .04 + 60 * .16 = 13.5c/mile averages over a day. So 24000miles/yr multiples by .04 or 0.135 and it’s $960 vs $3240. That points to in excess of $20k in savings over 10 years. If someone goes 40 miles or less a day these numbers favor a prime quite a bit more.

This was a decade ago! I wonder if cell service (and power infrastructure) is significantly more durable now than then? Or in the next crisis of that sort, will there be no way to call out?

At one point after Sandy, when lower Manhattan was still dark, I could stand in a spot by the East River and send text messages using what I think was a signal from Brooklyn -- voice and data were not successful.
Aren’t you worried about your own domain getting flagged for spam since you’re effectively (forwarding) sending spam?
AWS has a reasonable defense for charging for that - it costs them money whether you meant to run it or not.
E-commerce has terrible margins

Amazon itself had negative operating margins for its retail business last quarter.

Amazon retail: "Its U.S. segment recorded $206 million in operating losses, while the international side lost $1.63 billion."

Single digit margins at best, once a market is competitive.

Edit:
You edited your above, but gross margin is meaningless. It doesn't even include salaries for employees or infrastructure costs. Net margins for retail will always be slim, outside of specific first mover advantage in some subsectors.

You think the Chinese companies selling $5 rubber spatulas are making 40% margins? Lol, try 5% or less.

The theory that Amazon retail would grow revenues rapidly and then eventually expand to high operating margins will never come to fruition. Margins will be below 10% in perpetuity

But sure, ignore all costs of running the business and look at gross margins.
People keep saying this but i really don't see it: we have only one quarter of reduced GDP growth, unemployment is near record lows, corporate profits are strong or merely stung by supply chain issues.

Where is this giant recession?

Equity prices are not representative of economic performance, and needed to be corrected anyway...
Give it 5 years (3?) and they might just sell many of these. Concert tickets, restaurant bookings/take out aren't so hard to imagine.

I think Amazon's ambition is endless.
The EV Mustang looks so dope. See a lot of them in SV.
I should have added unsurmountable reason. With that, everything you've listed was overcome 53 years ago when we set foot on the Moon, aside from food. But within those 53 years we've grown food in space - a far less hospitable environment than the Moon and especially Mars, and even achieved a few other useful things along the way as well.

It won't be easy of course, but it's entirely possible. And has been for decades. Wernher von Braun, architect of the Apollo program, was the first individual to lay out technical plans for the colonization of Mars. He would go on to ultimately retire from NASA precisely due to this specific conflict between politics and progress in space.
Oh no, imagine having to write software to fix your problems as a software developer.
Google the phrase "tuk-tuk" and learn about how such small vehicles are the backbone of the economies of countries home to an aggregate population about ten times that of the USA.
This would probably result in you actually falling over.
This is a horrible analogy.

At a fast food places they advertise unlimited refills on the cup they sold you as part of the meal.

Here you are being advertised unlimited traffic on the port they sold you as part of the server.

Trying to liken using the port you are being sold as part of the server to driving up a tanker trunk to a fast food place is silly.
I think social status is really important.

I was never depressed and never really suicidal but I had suicidal thoughts and a lot of frustration.

When my social status rose they went away.

As a software developer I had a very low social status compared to say a lawyer.

I am now a CTO and have a high social status.

But I think software developer is generally a profession that comes with relatively low status for the education level, as compared to say doctor or lawyer.

I think it's also this relatively low status that got me frustrated, finishing my Uni best in class and then being at the mercy of pretty dumb project managers.

This is why I find it important to give my developers a high social status, expensive office, expensive clothes, an assistant, etc.

Though society these days tries to teach you status is not important, I believe you cannot escape the nature of the beast.

We need social status to be happy.
I used to get spam from a Chinese exporter who conveniently included their actual address in the emails. One day I happened to be visiting their city and went to their office and asked them to unsubscribe me in person. The lady was very confused and first thought I wanted to buy something. I showed her the spam on my phone and she agreed but didn't bother actually removing me. Just seemed to think I was a bit stupid for travelling so far (I was also a foreigner) to complain about a spam. It was interesting to see what those companies look like in real life though - an office filled with piles of widgets and cartons of deliveries everywhere. These Chinese exporter spammers do tend to be legitimate businesses and they can actually provide good cheap access to manufacturers but they harvest emails from everywhere if there's any hint you might work in a related industry.
Thank you for posting these lovely, thoughtful prompts. just added them to my list of own prompts in the journal. :)
Or a few people have autoreplies that they are out of the office...
Ignoring the arguments about morality, and who is(n't) in the right, this is a prime example of why I don't trust electric cars! If the manufacturer can do this then you don't own the car, even if you paid for it in full.
The link is to a txt file! Anyway the archive link someone else posted seems to work fine (I still can't load the original link).
Revenue grew 13% or 8B but operating income fell as did net income. Yikes. Either that additional 30k in headcount really took a toll or they are investing heavily in other areas. That or acquisition costs are rising. (I’m still reading the PDF).
I'm still not sure what your point is. My point is the Bay Area has shitty transit and people claim it's because it's spread out. Switzerland is proof that's bullshit. That the same is not true for Fresno or Bakersfield has no relationship to my point.

I don't really know what your point is. That we can't have trains that cover the entire country? So what. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have more in highly populated areas.
I disagree with "it's a reasonable assumption that it might become locked again in the future". Unless this was very explicitly explained by Tesla to first customer.

The default assumption is going to be "they were out of 60kWH batteries so they gave me a 90kwh battery" end of story. And gifts cannot in general be taken back. Certainly not from later owners.

It is not like Tesla will give you lots of information. I know that my own replacement battery in my own Model S was a refurbished one, not a new one, because of the letters "RFRB" or something on my receipt. At no points in their process do they provide more details than the very minimum or let you talk to humans that can meaningfully answer questions (in my own experience).

If this info (that it was not supposed to be a gift) it was given to the customer probably in the form of "99kwhlckdwn60" on the receipt and no further info or something equivalently obscure.

If it looks like a gift, why not assume it was a gift? It is entirely reasonably they would gift 30kwh more if 60kwh was out of stock?
In any supply & demand market, pay close attention to what's happening at the luxury segment. Across the board, the bubble is imploding in watches, exotic cars. Soon they won't have a supply chain problem but the incoming tsunami of boomers drastically reducing their consumption as they cannot rely on pensions and social security going forward.

I am also noticing the same pattern in luxury real estate. I see listings routinely sell below the asking price or not selling at all. There is a cash crunch coming and the rich are urgently putting up their items for sale.
Did or did Hertzner not offer this person an unthrottled 1 GBit/s every month they were an user.
Manitoba Hydro spends a lot of marketing money on making renewable resources attractive, specifically Hydro Generating Stations. Isn't the newest one from 2018?
What kind of insane argument is that?

If you order a Toyota Camry and the transporter drops off a Ferrari at your door screaming WELL IT SAYS FERRARI ON RIGHT THERE ON THE CAR isn't in any way a valid argument.

They're just going to tell you that's nice but so what that's not where the discrepancy is in the first place. The order says Toyota, the invoice say Toyota, the transport slip says Toyota, etc, etc.
have you ever used a "free refill", or an "all you can eat" buffet?

You cannot fill up your car's tank with soda at a "free refills" place, neither can you camp and eat 24/7 inside an "all-you-can-eat" buffet.

I don't think it's unreasonable to still call those services "unlimited" and let the restaurant/internet provider decide when to drop a customer that they don't want in their premises/on their infrastructure...
Regarding his original expectations of TCP. Even if true, is there much difference between dropped data and data being delivered hours late? I imagine at an app level you would suspect any message that got sent 12 hours ago but kept in a queue.

I imagine if that scenario is Ok you would explicitly use a queue system.
On Telegram, one can make one’s own sticker packs by simply uploading a bunch of images. I see a lot of sticker packs on the theme of “my fursona expressing various emotions”, and it is pretty common to see one person have a new idea for an emotion or interaction, which is rapidly copied into other people’s sets when they have the resources available to create or commission a new drawing.

Furries being furries, a lot of these are pretty explicit, and pretty inventive in their explicitness.
by 2025 they will use a 3rd color other than white and blue for their 'material design' cloud console.
how cool would it have been if NEOM was a blend of Arab culture (muscat?) with sensible city design (no carcentric hellhole), instead Billions off Saudis people money will be wasted in this BS. Maybe the plan is to make a meropoly baackbone but its too enormous for the country (or any country) needs or any country
> The main reason it isn't illegal is the people who have been in charge of the Federal government are too old to understand computers.

But this is a self-resolving problem. Eventually the older generation will just... you know... die off...

The more problematic thing is the whole lobbying situation where money is doing the talking. Consumers in general don't have nearly enough money to be viable as political pressure.

What really needs to happen is for consumers to be on comparable footing with industry lobbies in terms of political say, and clearly just relying on voting is not cutting it, since you often have cases where all the candidates are different kinds of bad just backed by different lobbies...
> AWS makes a ton of sense if […] you need GPU power to train your AI model,

Breakeven time between paying for GPUs, servers, and colo vs GCP was 3 months when I last checked. AWS was even worse. For training, cloud GPUs only make sense if you don’t have anyone on your team that’s familiar with physical infra or if you have a ton of free credits which is fairly common for startups with VC funding.
WeMakeFedora.org case discussed on HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30702991 (March 2022, 77 comments)
Based on all the comments here, Im confident this is Zipcar's fault and not the OP. However, I have had some experience being on the other end of this type of billing problem (not at zipcar) so I'll share my experience.

Several times I have received an email from someone saying that my website charged their card incorrectly. In each case the amount charged has been an amount that is impossible based on what I sell (my product is $10, but they are billed for $17.23). I attempt to lookup the transaction in my Stripe dashboard using the date, amount, and last 4 digits. Nothing. I have to reply with something similar to what OP got back from support. In every case where I received a followup with the customer, they had misread the credit card statement and it was for a totally different company's charge. I guess there was a company with a similar name. Sometimes customers get quite irate, but they never apologize when they realize it was their fault.
Who says that nobody complains about this? I for one hate when a software update comes along and completely changes the UI layout, even if may come with additional new features. I don't want anything I didn't ask for or confirm, regardless of whether it's in good faith.
Btw that's a localhost link
It feels like the plain meaning of that sentence, to me. They are "using content" (downloading it), and it probably "impairs the regular operating behavior ... of [their] infrastructure" (how many 1Gbps servers do you think are sharing a switch? how fast do you think that switch's uplink is? now double the first and half the second because it's Hetzner :P).
Intel has occasionally done this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/facepalm-of-the-day-intel-char...

It tends not to go down well.
This line of reasoning doesn't consider equity, and the fact that people want to move - especially out of low socioeconomic areas. If you're paid a local wage, there's basically no way you'd ever be able to relocate to somewhere more expensive since selling your house wouldn't put a dent in the price of a home elsewhere.
