They actually did this with my tires on my Model X. I ordered mine with the standard tires, then they called me to say they had my exact order that someone cancelled, except it had the upgraded tire package. They originally said they were going to remove them when I picked it up, but they ended up just leaving them on and saying it was a free upgrade.

I don't think shutting down products applies to GCP services. Even if it did, it doesn't explain the $858M loss. They are spending big on something to "catch up", I'm just not sure what it is.
I've managed a number of RFC 2142 mailboxes and while they all got spam (the dumb spammers would even send to abuse@!) it wasn't any worse than the other published email addresses on those systems and the volume was spam was still less than what our typical user would see (since nobody using postmaster@ used it to sign up for everything under the sun).

The spam we got was often useful for abuse handling and spam filtering too. It was a good thing!

Every network should have an abuse@ address. Web forms are pretty popular these days too, but every extra hoop you force reporters to jump through can cut down on the reports you get of problems on your network. It's worth dealing with the spam to make sure you're getting notified as quickly as possible.
Tesla installing a larger battery and configuring the car for it is the same kind of 'mistake' as a restaurant server offering and billing something that the restaurant manager disagrees with. "Whoops, our front-line employee wasn't supposed to do that" doesn't mean they then get to take something away literally years later.
> If you're at a restaurant and you get the final bill and you notice an item wasn't paid for. Do you speak up, or do you leave knowing you ate food you didn't pay for?

I speak up, and 99 times out of 100 they say "ha, whoops, no big deal, it's on us."

> What if you order DoorDash, and you get extra food you didn't pay for?

The feds already have rules on this sort of thing. When someone sends you unsolicited goods you didn't order, they are yours to keep.

> Finally, what if you accidentally receive a high ticket item in from an online order. 3 months later, the online retailer figures out what happened, and asks you for the item back. If you refuse to send it back, should they charge you for it?

That's actually the same example. You're asking moral questions, but they have established legal answers.
It should not be legal for any car company to remotely stymie the mobility of a vehicle without the consent of the owner. I'm not saying Tesla shouldn't be allowed to gate range via software, but they should not be allowed to remotely hamstring a vehicle in such a manner, potentially stranding or endangering someone.
I once implemented RLS/Postgres for Django.

It worked pretty well.

The basic mechanism was to intercept all outbound SQL queries and wrap them in postgres environment variables that set up the RLS.

It's my belief, iron and ironstone being high value, they'd have taken what they could with them, the inputs. Charcoal aside, the remains otherwise are more marginal value, you can do Iron in a mud brick hearth, there wouldn't have been a lot of immovable fixed infrastructure to take really. The charcoal is a pain to make, time consuming. Maybe they burned that to avoid the romans having access, but I tend to think the Romans did this, to deny re-use when the inevitable re-occupation came. They'd have lifted what they could, and destroyed the rest.

Not an archeologist. The best way to get good input is to post bad input and wait to be corrected!

> such a literal interpretation attempts to create and exploit a loophole for one's own benefit at extreme cost to the provider, by refusing a common sense interpretation of 'Unlimited within reason'.

It's not a "loophole" to use 80% of the capacity that was advertised and sold to you. If they want to sell "unlimited within reason" capacity, they should advertise "unlimited within reason", instead of "unlimited".

I really don't understand your viewpoint.
Google:
Total Rev: 70B, ads:57B, cloud 6B.

Amazon:
Total rev: 116B Ads: 31B cloud:71B

It's reasonable to say that Google's biggest threat is Amazon's ad business. And instagrams not far behind.
Yes, I was looking for the 'gotcha' when I searched the wiki but none is there. Seriously impressive stat, from a decidedly low-tech yet seemingly still relevant method.
Manufacturers of devices and associated software (eg treatment planning systems) tend to have somebody like that. Not sure you actually want to though.
I'd be interested in any example where this approach would produce an invalid executable. I have used this without issues, but of course I have certainly not tried this in every possible environment.
It's pretty hard to beat the pushj/popj approach, except that you have to lock out the GC before returning (as it may be scanning the activation records to find roots).
It seems unlikely that regular TVs will come back without some very stringent legislation preventing monetization. As it is, Vizio makes less money from selling their hardware than from other BS.
In TXR Lisp, I did this:

https://www.nongnu.org/txr/txr-manpage.html#N-0389D15E

There is a 128-byte area prefixed by the character sequence @(txr):. It normally contains all zeros (empty null-terminated string). If you put a non-empty UTF-8 string there, it gets executed.

Of course, the problem of including a binary blob is trivial if it can just be declared as an array; the interesting problem is doing it to the executable, without doing any compiling or linking.
But don't worry. They've paused hiring for two full weeks!
Oh so that's when you think they'll finally release FSD? Ha!
Quick question, why does every startup on earth have google as a customer? Shouldn't a company of this size have its own solutions and programs?

This is in no way a deg against your project, its just a general question .

To be fair, games have cost that much since like 2008. Inflation in most developed countries has been much higher 16 % ofter that decade and a half. In the US the CPI has risen by 36 % over that period, so the real price of games is still lower than it was.
No, I don't think they are. For example, a credit card processing fee doesn't raise the price of a gallon of gasoline.

There is supposed to be a difference between markup and a fee. We don't have to hash out what exactly the difference is, just observe that there is a difference.

It's a common grift to hide part of the price in unadvertised "fees" so that consumers will have a harder time comparing options but it is just that, a grift. It's deception.
> > in what world

> In our world? Based on the thread, Tesla did a battery service on a model of car with a 60 battery. Unless it was stated as upgraded, after the service it is still a 60 car to the manufacturer. A 60 car that just happened to be able to run at the performance level of a 90 version. They then state this is a bug and fixed it.

It is completely irrelevant what type of car it is, they installed a 90 battery and enabled it. This is not a software licence. Are you saying it would also have been OK for Tesla at the next service to take out the battery and reinstall a 60 because they made a mistake 3 years ago? That's exactly what they did here. I also doubt that it is legal, there are implicit contracts in the warranty service and when they put in the 90 battery, you can't just renegade on those things. I have the suspicion that way too many people here have been working for too long in software, which has always been in a grey zone between purchase and licence and thus got away with things that hardware people never did.
Aren't Amazon ads just sellers prioritizing their listing on the Amazon page? Seems totally different from the ad market for Google
Belief can be fragile too and can easily be lost. I am not very spiritual or religious myself but from what I observe with religious parts of my family and friends there is really nothing resilient about their beliefes - they need constant refreshing and practice otherwise doubt quickly creeps in (and there is a lot of ways doubt can come in - most of religious beliefs and rituals is selfserving and does not go well with critical thinking)
Blind XSS is a thing.

not my fault you haphazardly inserted <whatever I crafted> into an HTML field in some browser at some point in the future.

DNS records, facebook statuses, titles of apps on the playstore, Wifi SSIDs, BIO's on obscure forums, names of children, recipe ingredients, your TV's network nick name...anything that can hold the input of a user, that a scraper or content mechanism will eventually naively come across...

eventually it will get added to the DOM of some unknownst messenger, and I will receive a ping, letting me know that someone, somewhere, somewhen, sniffed my digital fart.
Ahh interesting, I have not used either much at all, but as a proxy for popularity I looked at the GitHub stars, and Argo has grown faster than Spinnaker: https://old-star-history.t9t.io/#spinnaker/spinnaker&argopro...
You're missing the point that Mullvad still has your connecting IP address.

There have been countless cases demonstrating that "no-log" VPN providers definitely do log, and even if by some miracle Mullvad doesn't, they can be compelled to start doing so, as the Protonmail case demonstrates.

This does nothing to reduce the paper trail.

If you really really really trust Mullvad (and you shouldn't), just use Monero.
Only in unpressurized cans. Pressurized sealed cells can have much higher thermal range, which is why nearly all EV manufacturers use them.

For example, even DEC can be made safe to 175C at 3 bar[1]. 3 bar isn't a lot for a liquid filled metal can.

Obviously they can still suffer thermal runaway, but it happens at much higher temperatures.
>If I was guaranteed max bandwidth on 5G all the time on my cellular plan, I'd pay a lot more than $40/month.

Okay, so the ISP expects that people won't use what they're sold. That sounds like their problem and their bad planning.
It really depends how wide your impact is. When you have a lot of instances with this behaviour, you generate a lot of CPU steal for the neighbors on the same hypervisor (depending on the mitigations they put in place). If you happen to impact too many customers (many performance issue tickets), then the CSP will be more than happy to reach out to you to "upgrade" you.

It really boils down to the business impact you have on them. Sure, you pay for the resource, but they are not guaranteed. And it is up to their discretion to de-prioritize your VMs on the HV, so that you're the last to get scheduled when the host's CPU is starved. This is the whole 'CPU credits' thing on AWS that they document in [0] where you can burst above the baseline. Interestingly, note that the baseline is in the 30% ballpark in their illustration on the bottom of the page :)

That sounds like the sorts of results that tend to hammer a company. Some barely beats on low expectations. A bunch of expectations barely or misses.
Something like https://justine.lol/ape.html perhaps?
None, sure, right now. But what happens when a judge eventually rules that putting 'actually, this is just a temporary license' in the fine print isn't sufficient? It's likely to happen eventually.

Huh? Isn't the ecomm component of Amazon's "Total Rev" several hundred billion?
they're not obligated to keep anyone as a customer. saying "we don't want your money anymore" is a form of renegotiation.
Again...I don't know why people willingly buy from companies like Tesla or BMW when they treat customers so poorly.
I've previously [1] posited an impossibility theorem, namely that a Proof of Work blockchain can't:

* be secure

* be energy efficient, environment-friendly, and

* have high value on the chain, "high stakes"

- pick any two.

This paper seems to argue a version of that rigorously.

This kind of stuff is why I'm not really keen to get a Tesla. Might get a v8 next actually.
I don't think I can, not really — it's like throwing away the whole corpus of Kipling's works for his imperialist verses, cancelling J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter because of her feminist tweets, or calling to boycott Noam Chomsky's linguistic works because of his political statements — but I can pretend that I do :-) However, I don't think the commenters in this thread are all Ukrainians.
Is the text sent to the servers? That’s effectively the same thing.
Depends how competent the people they manage are. Anywhere from invasive micromanager, to "do little" figurehead that conveys information.

The best people don't need to be managed really, just alignment of direction, but there are far too few of them to depend on that at scale

Nausica and Castle in the sky both suffer from a couple of bad decisions
I did just that for a while with a spare server I had. I set it up to literally only respond to bad bots. I know the crawlers don't care but it amused me at least. I tried to also keep redirecting slowly before it could time out. There was one bot that seemed to create a new instance each redirect so I could keep it in a loop for essentially ever. Just about every other bot only followed a few redirects before giving up. Fun times.
Hardly. For actually observing with a telescope UT1 is the correct time scale to start the calculation from, since it's directly linked with Earth's rotation - with some complications that you have to calculate local sidereal time and so forth, but this only involves fixed constants; All TAI derived fixed-offset time scales are not linked with Earth's rotation and thus require constantly updated offsets. For most telescopes approximating it with UTC gives good enough results (pointing accuracy wise), so that's what many observatories do. And many smaller and older observatories operate quite a lot of legacy hardware and software that would need to be updated if the current UTC definition were to be changed.
Why would it be a bad thing for it to be illegal to lie? Just don't call the plan "unlimited", and have clearly stated limits.

Obviously that's not as good marketing. Products usually look better if you lie about them to make them look better. But lying in marketing shouldn't be legal. And this shouldn't be controversial.
I think my original post was fairly unclear of what I meant.

See, what I meant was like this. File descriptors are an OS abstraction; the "backends" you get are defined in the kernel. You can't really do custom behavior with FDs; for example, in Go, the Go TLS library can open a connection and return an io.Writer, and when you write, it will be symmetrically encrypted, transparent to you, as if the code spoke TLS. But when you're dealing with raw file descriptors, and the read and write syscalls, there's no way to make 'custom' read and write handlers, like you can with programming language abstractions.

(I do acknowledge that you could in fact do some of this with pipes, though I have seldom seen it used this way outside of shell programming. It's kinda missing the point, anyway, since pipes are just another type of fd. You can do pipes on top of Go's abstraction too, but it would be very cumbersome in comparison.)

But as a kind of quirk, Linux actually _does_ support TLS sockets. It will not do the handshake, so you still have to do that in userspace. But if you use the Linux kernel's TLS socket support, it will in fact give you an FD that you can read from and write to directly with transparency, as if it was any other file or socket; you don't have to handle the symmetric cryptography bits or use a separate interface. I think this is rather neat, although I'm not sure how practically useful it is. (Presumably it would be useful for hardware offloading, at least.)
Are you speak from experience or repeating something you read on hn or reddit?

I believe you mean Walgreens (in patio11's original thread).
On a modern VM system, the static initialized data will be mapped to memory, not loaded. So you have to worry about its virtual footprint, not physical memory use.
I've got unlimited 4G/LTE/5G for €2/mo with reduced bandwidth after 55GB but still unlimited, and true unlimited for €5/mo without any bandwidth restrictions.

Here the post that are not in English are usually ignored or flagged. Do you have an English translation? I think it's a good article for beginners, but it's easier to get more traction here with more advanced topics.
Well that's nonsense.

Words have meanings for a reason.

The meaning of the word "unlimited" is not, in fact, "limited, but we won't tell you what the limit is — you'll get to find it out the hard way".

Whatever the terms of the "fair usage" policy are, that's what should be in the description.

Otherwise, is plain old lying and misreading — which for some reason you are OK with.
> your progression from QA > Dev

Although it may be true of the specific person you're replying to (though I'm not sure that it is), this presumes something, so ends up missing the point. To see the point made here about luck, castes, et cetera requires grappling with the existence of folks who were developers before taking the "shitty testing job". There is no QA-to-dev progression there—just someone without the good fortune to be able to say "no" to the first job they were offered.

A recent guest on Tyler Cowen's podcast made this point wrt to law school graduates:

> The bigger thing I would change is the calendar for professional hiring in law. This is a little bit esoteric, but it matters a lot to our students. If you want to go into a job at a major law firm, and you go to a good law school, those jobs get offered to you at a time when you have no other alternatives. And so, regardless of one’s individual preferences, it makes no sense to turn down those jobs when you actually have no alternative.¶ I think that creates a lot of distortions, where you end up with people who are at these firms who don’t want to be there. And it biases the market so that people who want to go into public interest, for example, are the ones who are able to take that risk on, which is not a very good match between who’s genuinely interested in alternative avenues and who just can’t afford to take certain kinds of risks.

I feel GitHub is the best thing that ever happened to the Open Source Community.

Before, it was freshmeat and, for collaboration, arbitrary mailing lists each enforcing their same "standards" to send in patches. I can only assume the process was sometimes smooth, sometimes terrible. In any case: I never did it.

In the GitHub era, I have regularly made pull requests. Small ones on a maybe weekly basis, larger ones twice a year or so.

I feel confident in the estimate that the number of contributors has grown by at least an order of magnitude, and that GitHub was a significant factor in this development.

Gitlab, meanwhile, started out as so obvious a clone their CSS still had classes named "gh-large-..." months after launch. Then, they would frequently have the audacity to complain when GitHub copied some minor feature they had first implemented.
An unjust in that context is one that was passed without rightful authority or does not apply equally to all. It's not a shorthand for "I don't like the law".

Throughout the millenia I can assure you the idea of an unjust law has very little to do with the bitcoin mentality of "I like cash and I don't like high taxes, therefore I will evade state authority".
Aw, they put it in a case where it can't be touched, rather than hooking it up to a phone line and letting people make calls. Come on. It's not like they're fragile.

When I used to do steampunk conventions, we had a telegraph office, with working teletype machines and messengers. We also had an old "French style" dial phone (actually a replica from the 1970s) wired up for calls. This was a hit with small kids who had never seen such a thing. "It's so heavy" said one little girl who lifted the handset.
Overpaying remote workers compared to the local market is bad as it create distortion of local markets (on housing especially where local non remote workers cannot afford living where they work).

Gigabit Ethernet usually lands around 80% fully utilized due to overheads and such. That’s not fraud.

I'm not sure self driving is a matter of Google culture. It's just become pretty evident that, while maybe some limited fully self-driving use cases will become viable in the next decade or two, this idea that you can have your personal chauffeur whisk you door to door even in an urban environment perhaps in your lifetime so you never need to own a car is not happening. And that really disappoints some people who bought into the idea.
The two dots here are not an umlaut. They're a trema [0], which happens to look the same. It's used to break digraphs or diphtongs into separate vowels.

Without the trema, this word would be pronounced something like "/emo/". With it, it's pronounced "/ema.yz/".

If you see two dots in French, Spanish, Portuguese (and English as written by The New Yorker!) you're looking at a trema.

A gallon of gas has about 34 kWH of energy in it. Let’s say a ice passenger vehicle gets about 35mpg - so it takes about 1KWH of gas to move the car a mile.

A Tesla 3 has gets takes around 25kWH to go 100mi. So about 0.25 KWh per mile.

The ICE engine limitations cause it to use 400% more energy to go the same distance e. So even if gas is more dense, most of the energy is lost to engine thermodynamic limitations in using that gas - and yes mostly wasted energy in the form of heat dumping out the tailpipe.
