Relevant comment of mine from a previous, mostly unrelated thread (context was "Berkeley gives you a parking space if you work there and win a Nobel"):

> The rich get richer. I remember filling out school and early job applications. I was struck by how my list of awards and recognitions was kind of a sham—most of them were each a consequence of some earlier achievement, and so on. It felt like getting a check and being able to cash it more than once.

Yeah, that's bullshit.
That's ~575 new employees per week (probably more, making up for turnover)! Absolutely wild.
Well, they still need their own website. I'm only a little surprised that Sony Music hasn't impressed upon them the importance of having one or set one up for them.
To be fair to these industries there can be more to it as well: construction operations may require inventory management for a fleet of power tools. Some IoT devices can potentially provide useful services via regular software upgrade, etc. But yes: it's mostly going to be spying and feature upsells.

The problem now is that network access is becoming a bottleneck. Many devices have the hardware they need to connect to networks, but don't provide the UI to enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth pairing, nor do they provide any compelling incentive for users to connect to their own devices.

Networks like Amazon Sidewalk and maybe Helium are one answer to this problem. The manufacturers can make very inexpensive deals with the network operator, reflecting the fact that their devices don't actually need very much bandwidth. My personal theory is that networks like Apple's FindMy (AirTags) will also compete in this arena.
"up to X Mbps" would imply "up to $y"

I'm with you. I had a P3D. What a blast it was to drive. But one of the reasons I sold it was uneasiness about the level of control Tesla maintained over the car and their apparent willingness to use that control later -- and not in my best interest.

I'm going to stick to cars from manufactures that don't seem inclined to do this to me. So definitely not Tesla. And maybe not BMW, they're giving off strong vibes of wanting to play this same game with their cars.

It helps that Tesla has fallen way behind in actual features, so I don't really want what they're offering. I can get lane following and adaptive cruise from anyone else, CarPlay is more valuable to me than Tesla's tiny little garden, and all the other standard car features Tesla doesn't want to offer. Wipers that work, door handles that don't suck, 360* camera for parking in tight places, stuff like that. Tesla doesn't have a monopoly on fast EVs any more, and before much longer they won't have the best charging network either. That was what drew me to the P3D.
The problem that needs to be solved is, basically, that the fundamental architecture of Bitcoin establishes an upper limit on transactions-per-second (TPS) which is too low.

Lightning "solves" this problem by moving transactions off-chain, bundling them into batches, and then emitting batches of transactions to Bitcoin mainnet. That means a transaction against Lightning is only valid once the bundle in which the transaction is placed is committed on mainnet. A confirmation from Lightning isn't good enough; users have to wait for a confirmation from mainnet.

Batching is a common optimization! But it's not a solution to performance problems. It weakens the guarantees afforded by transaction confirmation. Those guarantees are important. They define the consistency model provided by the system. The model of Bitcoin which includes Lightning is fundamentally different, and weaker, than the core model of Bitcoin.

And so Lightning isn't a solution to the problem. It weakens the transactional model of Bitcoin, and so provides a totally separate system to Bitcoin proper.
Reporting to the law enforcement and removing a "number" are not mutually exclusive. But law enforcement has got their hands full with the more illegal stuff already. So leaving the not too difficult to detect - simple spam, scam and malware to the registrars and hosts to deal with - is not ridiculous.

I'm really sorry, but this infrastructure has functioned for more than two decades. It takes a massive amount of manhours daily to deal with abuse. How can you unironically defend and claim that a system that removes most punitive measures will be good or usable? Is it delusion or naivety?
Yes, that's correct. It's Linux only right now although I'll probably support macOS too (via MacFUSE).

It's funny I started my career building exactly what you suggest. Even in shell. Before adopting Hudson (now Jenkins) and the like.

Bespoke CI/CD solutions are great, especially if you're the author and tailor it to the business, for a certain size and class of use case.

As a business though, it's hardly ever worth the investment/maintenance and ongoing operational cost vs. just externalizing it and dealing with the consequences unless it is your business or a fundamental part of how your business is delivered. Thus, generic (but extensible) solutions are the happy medium.
Not sure about the RAV4, but I strongly doubt people are actually paying some of the markups on the Prius Prime that I've seen.

Here's a real email exchange I had about a Prius Prime LE:

Dealer: We have one in stock!

Me: What's the price on it?

Dealer: The MSRP is 30119 plus 20k, tags, and taxes.

Me: Plus 20k?

Dealer: Yes that is the mark up on our Prius Prime. It can be negotiable, but have to be in person.

**

That looks to me like a number pulled out of their ass as an ad-hoc out-of-state spam filter. It worked. But I see no evidence that it has shit to do with the actual price that a human being would pay to buy a new car.

HN is a big place-- anybody pay 15-20K over MSRP for a Prius Prime in the past 6 months? I strongly suspect dealers are having fun touting their spam filter numbers as if that's some kind of real car price...
I'm a bit biased as one of the founders of BuildJet, but we solve this exact issue.

BuildJet for GitHub Actions, plugs elegantly into GitHub Actions. With 1-line change in your config, you get 2x speed for half of GitHub's price.

Check it out @ https://buildjet.com/for-github-actions
So this is open-source, but if I want all the features (say, in the Mac app) I would need to pay for Premium? What if I run this on my own server — would I then have access to all features?
If I rent a car, I see the pricing up front. And the pricing does not depend on how often I open the trunk or how far I turn the steering wheel.
I think hiring managers tend to be pretty realistic about this (can't speak for recruiters). All we want to hear is that the candidate has a sense of how they want to develop themselves. The best entry level candidate story I've ever heard was from an intern who expressed a desire to learn how to biuld movie animation pipelines. We were an app dev team, but I was able to offer enough insight and experience that we helped him get his next job at WETA.

A candidate's intrinsic development goals become the basis of how managers can best motivate and retain employees. Without this, employees quickly stagnate and fall back to doing the bare minimum of their role. This is true of all levels and not just entry level.
AWS is overcharging badly. I wouldn't even take them seriously if you want to do something with e.g video. Charging per GB is a joke in a world where my (expensive) ISP doesn't even offer anything less than 30/30mb.

IMHO Hertzer is the only hosting company that get what business it is in. AWS makes a ton of sense if you need to rent serious iron to do OCR on 100+ GB of scans of corporate documents, you need GPU power to train your AI model, or you are a startup that needs to grow 50% a month.

If you are an established company with a normal demand model, AWS will rip you alive.
They pay about 100,000 less. Its widely known, not sure why you are arguing this. Amazon also raised their paybands massively, so a blanket comparison doesnt reflect reality. Look at individual data over the last year or so. Google also downlevels, so comparing levels makes less sense, compare years of experience instead
That is after issuance though. In this context, if it's your name server that can't be trusted, it's very difficult to bootstrap.
We need regulation from the government that flat out prevents this kind of behavior to begin with. Customers shouldn't need to keep up on the latest technological countermeasures just to maintain ownership of a car they purchased.
> Do you seriously believe that a judge or jury anywhere would sentence me for the crime brought forward, or that this would even hold water enough to be prosecuted in the first place?

In some jurisdictions, like Sweden (where Mullvad is based) there is such a thing as "help to commit a crime" that does get prosecuted
Assuming binary blob is relatively small:

Just template generate and store the data as a bit array on the language of your choice.

For example, if you are using C/C++ you can zip everything then use a small python script to generate a C/C++ header where this data is available as a uint8_t array.

Keep in mind that all this data will be loaded to memory, so I don’t recommend this approach for anything north of 10mb.
Ukraine Seeking War-Crimes Charges for JPM, Citi Leaders: Govt Advisor
Then don’t buy from cheap providers! Those who won’t use anywhere near the traffic cap get cheaper prices, you get more certainty from your supplier. Everybody wins.
Yeah, that sums it up. I guess it means it can't be labelled as "multi-tenant" then..
You order it from Ford, buy it from the dealer. Ford shows you the MSRP. Dealer gets to charge you whatever they want. It doesn't feel legal. Ford has told dealers they'll be punished if they do it. Dealers are still doing it.

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, dealers average about 2k in profit on a new car. Many are adding market adjustments of 5-20k. They're multiplying the profit they make each sale. It feels very wrong, but Ford really can't do too much especially if they're all doing it in an area.

(sorry to sidetrack) but what is the usecase of deploying both dynatrace and datadog in the same environment? I don't think I have ever heard of this combination before.

Sorta. LiteFS sets up a FUSE mount so once you have that in place then you can create a database within that mount directory and it is automatically replicated.

plenty of hosting companies WILL sell you 1G dedicated to saturate and will be totally happy about doing so, if you're up front about what you intend to do and pay for it accordingly.

it's a very common thing these days to buy something like a 1.5 Gbps average commit of traffic on a 10G 1310 LR hand off port to the ISP, and move traffic in a daily sine wave pattern that varies anywhere between 500 Mbps at 0300 in the morning and 1.5 to 2.5 Gbps in the evening peak.
I thought it was in the scanner firmware.
Sounds like you are Tesla's ideal customer! Most people I know don't want to have to worry about the manufacturer suddenly crippling their car's functionality months after they bought it from a private party.
You can try to influence others' perception of you, but that's ultimately beyond your control.
It's the same reason why one of my jobs switched from unlimited PTO to limited PTO. 98% of employees took sane amounts of time off. 2% (if that) abused it rather extensively.

It might just be a tale as old as time.
It does, but not greatly: for a £110k salary the effective taxes (including NIC) are around 35%.

It is not a good idea to get your tax information from an investment corporation advertisement.
Yeah location based salary discrimination is one of the biggest issues in our industry in my opinion. I'm really hoping that the move to more remote-forward working cultures spurred by Covid will lead to this being corrected.

>If you buy a laptop with a pirated copy of Windows, and later after a couple of updates the OS detects this asks for activation, do you go to Microsoft to ask them to enable your pirated software or do you go to the seller of the laptop?

Except in this scenario, it wasn't pirated by the owner, it was literally installed by Microsoft
Yes, naivete is the the other issue besides culture. People without work experience, especially tech work experience, won't push back as hard or negotiate as effectively with their management, which translates to lower salary and a willingness to go along with what the company wants. I don't want to paint young folks with too broad a brush though, I've met some young coworkers that were pretty savvy, it's just in general what I have seen.
The blog explicitly said that if the requirements involve actual authorization models (beyond simple tenancy) then RLS is not the best fit (see: https://thenile.dev/blog/multi-tenant-rls#if-you-have-sophis...).

I think this covers both the complexity aspect and the difference between what you get from RLS and what external authz brings to the table (schema, for example).

I do think that RLS is a great way for a company without authz experts to built a multi-tenant MVP safely. I've yet to see a single pre-PMF company that worries about authorization beyond that, this is a series-B concern in my experience.
Exactly. The risk/cost profile for migrations is bad: If it goes well, decent return. If it goes poorly, catastrophic.
You can have them shipped to an Amazon locker presumably. Mailing cash has the downside of having your postmark on the envelope.
I found it very sad, in the late 80's and early 90's, that POPLOG chose to chase unicorn dreams, instead of broader availability and impact. It seemed a chance to change the world was traded for dreams of fortune, which failing, left only ashes. And the last three decades of programming language dystopia.
All of this must be very geo-specific. Driverbase seems to geo by IP and prices around here are about 8k over MSRP, if they are even available.
I rent a VPS with Leaseweb. Their prices aren't the lowest, but their performance is better than many cheaper alternatives.

There is no unlimited data. Either data centers are lying to you, or they're going to end your contract the month after you start sending hundreds of TB.

Their data plans clearly state the traffic limits and their terms state the overcharge you can expect. If you need more network traffic than the 15TB they offer VPS servers, you can probably just ask, set up some dedicated , or set up a CDN (listing price: "contact us", though Cloudflare is likely cheaper) or rent yourself a full colo rack.

Other VPS providers are similar, but always check the uplink speed (I've noticed German and French providers tend to stick to only 100mbps) and the data limits; anything that sounds like "unlimited" isn't and should be avoided if you're worried about data cost. Your only real option is to avoid the cheap market and go midrange or high end because data is expensive, especially at over 800mbps consistently.
AWS was actually able to add enterprise sales after realizing it needed to. Not clearly Google has done nearly as good a job.
Ask HN: Does anyone use Spinnaker for continuous delivery? How is it?
He's right in that quick glimpses at someone shouldn't define them, but ultimately the only thing most people know about Star Wars kid comes from the video.
TL;DR: It seems like they want to feel like they're doing something meaningful rather than merely making rich assholes even richer while collecting a fairly generous paycheck themselves.
Correct, but "1G saturated commit" and "1.5 Gbps average commit" are not marketed as "unlimited", since they are quite specific and offered without the human judgment call about whether the "unlimited" usage is reasonable.
A lot of colo and DC bandwidth is sold as port speed for the connection with no guarantees at all as to sustained bitrate to any other port including egress.
> If you have a sustained near 800 Mbps of outbound traffic you should be doing it from something much more serious than an absolute bottom of the barrel lowest cost no-SLA dedicated server.

Well, they could put that in the policies or the offer. Or be more specific in the email.

But 1G isn't really that much. I don't have a use for that much bandwidth at the moment, but it's not like you need that much compute to pump out 1G, so pick the offering with enough compute and enough bandwidth, and there you go. You don't always need an SLA, especially if you can load balance over multiple bottom of the barrel hosts. Unmetetered 1G for not a lot of money is a credible offer, so I'd take an established provider at their word; lots of hosting offers have a port speed and a traffic limit and overage fees listed.
It seems not, and it's not fixed.
I suspect it's related to using a second monitor over thunderbolt

I needed this two years ago, i was looking at this but couldn't figure out how to do it with a existing db connection pool to reuse connections. I might be migrating to this soon so that things will be more isolated from the tenants.
Yep, hanging in with our 2014 Ford CMAX PHEV and 2007 Volvo XC70 for now. I'd love to have a new car, but it just doesn't make sense given current pricing and the fact that we don't actually drive that much.

Instead of paying a huge premium on a new car, I bought a zippy electric scooter. Lots of fun, and faster than driving when traffic is heavy.
> Here they tell it is unlimited, because there is no data cap

There literally is a data cap...and it is one which Hetzner refuses to specify. The unspecified data cap is "drastically lower" (in Hetzner's own words) than even the 80% usage which the customer was hitting.

If you have to use drastically less than 100% usage, then those numbers should absolutely be published and using the term "unlimited" instead of publishing the limits is highly unethical.

The "other companies do it too" argument is silly since the behavior shouldn't be normalized in the first place.
Exactly. In my country, an "Unlimited 4G LTE" data plan costs 12 EUR. But without any "fair usage" policy that would be simply impossible. Nobody would expect to use tens of TBs per month without ever being contacted or heavily throttled.
Well that's just not true.
The slice of humanity on VRChat is significantly more neurotic and hypersexual than the average Gen-Xer ranting on Facebook. They’re also more OK being inappropriate around young children, the other large VRChat constituency. It’s worse in VRChat than in any other VR game or online multiplayer experience I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot) except maybe Second Life.

The Facebook crowd would be just as bad in VR, probably, but VRChat is its own sort of hive of scum and villainy.
What is being renegotiated? The contact isn’t being rewritten. It still states they have unlimited bandwidth. They’re just being told to not make use of contracted resource or the contract will be terminated. That’s not a renegotiation.
If there's one thing we should all agree on: stop using analogies.

This thread is full of the most tortured, confusing and poorly used analogies I think I've ever seen.
I did a CS degree in the UK in the late 80s. The introductory language was Pascal running on a Prime Mini Computer. ANSI C had just come out, but none of us had computers. You had to book time in a lab. The Aztec C compiler we used was on a floppy disc and horrendously buggy. All the coding we did was minimal exercises.

I didn’t even hear of object oriented programming until the 90s, and actually learned how to write useful programmes in Perl and C on the Sun machines at my first job. I learned Unix from scratch from the man pages. It was a different era.
Combining statistical multiplexing, fixed WAN bandwidth and SLAs with penalties are basically a recipe for massive losses.
You can, but most bots do timeout. If you get a lot of bad bots that are vulnerable, then you'll probably waste a lot of resources on those connections.
The original lines are still there (some have been cleaned up). You can't tell the difference between the old lines and the new ones in terms of audio quality or sound of the voice.
fdc is not a transit provider specialist with POPs in every major global city (as measured by CAIDA ASrank size) similar to Cogent or Telia or level3, which a hosting company like hetzner might become a customer of, rather, it's a hosting company
I think part of the frustration is the asymmetry of the situation. Good luck telling Hetzner that you'll be paying "up to $20 per month" for your server. The moment you under-pay, they drop you. But somehow it's OK that they can arbitrarily cut back on the service they promised and you just have to accept it?

Whether or not something is technically allowed in the fine print is different from whether or not it's a shitty thing to do. Having secret, unpublished limits on a supposedly-unlimited service is shitty. They'll be getting no empathy from me.
Perhaps you could point to the document that spells out their fair use policy? Hetzner certainly didn't.
Thanks a lot. It seems quite easy to do with simple tools so I will definitely try it. It is only that press thing that I would need to improvise somehow.
Can Gitlab CI use CircleCI workflows? There's less risk in just changing your VCS platform, rather than both your VCS and CI/CD at once, especially if you have to rewrite all your workflows.

Obviously something like Dagger[1] solves this, but I don't know how widely used that is at this point.

The co-pilot concern I get. I think the root of the problem is that everybody seems to have almost signed away their copyright to GitHub as part of their terms of service: https://fossa.com/blog/analyzing-legal-implications-github-c... "If you look at the GitHub Terms of Service, no matter what license you use, you give GitHub the right to host your code and to use your code to improve their products and features"... yeesh

I don't really agree with the concern that they "stifle competition by offering free services that their non-MS-owned competitors can't afford to offer". GitLab is clearly able to differentiate with with their terms of service, as evidenced by your and others' comments here. I don't fault the vast majority of FOSS developers, especially those using permissive MIT-style licenses, for favoring cost-efficiency over control. It's good to have both options.
My team used it for about a year. We hated that it wasn't written in go (which most everything else in the k8s space is). Meaning when we wanted to make a controller or operator to automate pieces of it consuming the libraries met writing your own. We switched and are super happy with argo.
Yes you can. There ar also ways to protect the crawler server from crashing.
There are terms and conditions and, there's no "fair use" clauses for bandwidth in the terms and conditions.

It feels a bad-faith interpretation of the "Customer uses content that impairs the regular operating behavior or the security of our infrastructure or our product" portion of section 2.7.
The work wasn't critical… yet. It was mostly exploratory, a way to soak up an R&D budget, or get R&D tax credits.

It was harder to find the opportunities and therefore leverage multiple job offers.
