A better way to do it is to simply prioritize traffic in order of whoever has used least traffic this month.

So if a link is congested and a packet has to be dropped, then it is dropped from whichever user has sent the most packets in the last 30 days.

The end result is light users will get great service. Heavy users will start to see congestion at busy times, but will still be able to download as much as they like, contending with other heavy users at busy times.

Actual implementation can consist of say 10 QOS queues, where each customer is assigned a queue based on their decile of traffic sent in the last 30 days. Ideally you'd do strict priority on the queues, but I actually find it works better to say each queue has 2 packets delivered for each one of the queue below. That ensures that if a low use customer has a big burst of traffic, other clients still get a few packets delivered, which helps flow control adapt better. Also, rather than just ranking on 30 day traffic volumes, it works better to rank on 30 day traffic, plus 7 day traffic, plus 24 hour traffic, plus 1 hour traffic. That effectively means traffic sent in the last hour is counted 4x. That means users get faster feedback.

Do this and your company gets better utilization of network hardware too - every link will be 95+% full all the time. Thats better than the traditional model of building for peak usage and having links sit idle at 3am. There are plenty of customers who would love to use that cheap 3am capacity!
Computing history is chock full of examples where something "seems to work" but is actually invalid (and a mach-O treated that way would be invalid [EDIT: or just "not accepted" by some parts of the system, see below], whether it runs or not), and then Raymond Chen has to write a blog post about it decades later. Here's just one out of many as a random example: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20041026-00/?p=37...

Back to this particular case, the binary will fail strict code signing validation on macOS. It may still run because the kernel does not access the binary past the coverage of the code signature (and all the bits there are still intact), similar to how multiarch binaries work, but you will at least severely be hampered to distribute your binary, since Gatekeeper won't be happy either.

Part of the problem is from admins creating lists and putting users on them without user knowing anything about it.

Went over the list of new (consumer facing) products from Google from the last decade that actually got somewhere and concluded that Google Cast and Chromebooks are close to the only one (I may have missed some, but there can't be many). Nothing that compares to Gmail, search, etc.

Additionally, their existing services are getting worse and worse. YouTube is a mess, requiring at least an ad-blocker, and preferably also an extension like Unhook[1] . Google search requires a site blocker to prevent ads and spam domains from dominating the results.

Instead of furthering the development of good products it appears that the culture is focusing on creating new products to get a promotion just to let it die before it gains momentum (see https://killedbygoogle.com/).

If Google is still part of the FAANG (or is it MAANG now) accronym at the end of the decade I'll eat my top hat (I don't have one but I'll buy one just for this).

My colleague wrote this solution for C++ and cmake:

https://github.com/ebu/libear/commit/40a4000296190c3f91eba79...

This is a cmake function which generates C++ files using no external tools. It's probably not very fast, but if you don't need to handle big files and are already using cmake this is easy to integrate, adds no dependencies and works on all platforms.

Anecdotally, I changed jobs four times in four years right after I graduated college - same reason. Got bored, looked for something new. This was the late 90's, when it was really easy to find something new. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I hit a soft limit after job change #4 - all of a sudden, after having gotten bored and looking for something new, every interviewer started saying, "you've changed jobs four times in four years... why would I want to hire you if you'll be gone in a year?" I've slowed my roll quite a bit since then and made a point of hanging in there for at least three years, usually longer.

There's no way Tesla themselves changed the badge to a 90, especially since the 90 appears to be some kind of mistake, given that they fixed the mistake years later.

It was probably one of the previous owners, and them changing the badge without disclosing that it's actually a 60 seems to put the bad-faith blame on them.

Having said that, if I was going to drop $40k on a used car, I would certainly have inspected everything... the carfax, title, stickers on the car, maintenance history, with Tesla themselves, etc. Surely one of those would've hinted to the current owner that it's actually a 60!?
>I can guarantee you that if you spawn AWS instances and use 80% flat of CPU 24/7/365 you'll get the same kind of email directing you to the cpu dedicated instances.

This is a pretty significant claim that I think we're going to need evidence of. I would be flat out shocked if any of the major cloud providers gave you this sort of notice.

All of them have burstable instance types with various mechanisms for limiting that burst, but I have never heard of anyone ever getting this sort of email just for heavily and consistently utilizing CPU on a regular instance.

However, I will agree that this sort of thing around "unlimited bandwidth" is normal in the hosting industry. People talked all the time on webhostingtalk about all of the different dedicated server and colo providers that advertised "unlimited" bandwidth and would cut you off if you actually tried to use eit.

I just want to point out that "exactly-once" is not physically possible. The documentation claims "exactly-once", and proceeds to explain that after a while, it will timeout. Which makes it "at-most-once", as expected.

A private operator can choose to stop providing any service to any customer at any time. Especially, if it finds it to be economically unsustainable for their business.

They don't have a limit of 200TB. They take issue with sustained saturation over a long period of time.

> It's not so complex.

Can you imagine how complex it would be to publish a schedule of every single consideration? They certainly won't take issue with 250TB of internal traffic. So now they need to start differentiating egress. Would they take issue with 250TB of ingress? It's less likely, but they would probably have higher tolerance for that. So now you have another schedule. What about cross-datacenter traffic? Boom, another policy.

Have you seen AWS bandwidth pricing? How in the world is that less complex than just addressing abuse on a case-by-case basis.

But basically, go somewhere that isn't a black mark on your resume.

Anonymous startup (not crypto) probably a better choice, plus you will learn more.

Honda even more so—they don’t have a single PHEV or EV model available (there was the Clarity). Mazda is even worse.

It really depends on your requirements, both functional and cost. Having a full stack per customer can be great for a lot of reasons. It's probably the safest because you never have to worry about something getting messed up in the code and creating cross-customer access. Once you're sure the environment is set up correctly you can sleep well at night. You also don't have to worry about one customer doing something to impact the performance of other environments (unless you're using shared infra, like putting all your DBs on a single cluster). And it can make maintenance easier, for example you can data migrations can start with small and/or less important customers for practice. It also can give you more flexibility if you need to make special snowflakes (i.e. some big customer wants weird IP whitelisting rules that can't work with your normal env setup).

Downsides are that it's probably more expensive and more work. Even if your infra spin up is totally automated, you still need to keep track of all the environments, you still need to keep your Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g. your terraform scripts) up to date, more can go wrong when you make changes, there's more chance for environments to drift.

So, in short, separate stacks usually means more safety & simpler application architecture in exchange for more cost and more effort to manage the fleet.

Amazon Ads 31B is an annual figure. Last quarter it was ~8B. Same thing with cloud; AWS pulled ~18B last quarter.

Amazon Ads is a legit threat to Google, especially with product searches. Instagram struggles to monetize commercial queries to the same degree as Goog/Amzn.

I don't need nor want this. Also, as I mentioned, I don't want to be on Windows as they turn the screws to lock it down and farm/spy on me. The precursor to this is MS had an S-Mode version of Win10 when it first came out which blocked you from installing anything not from the MS store but you could disable it. How long will that be an option, Win12?

In any case, I am out and probably going to move to Linux before the end of the year. My primary PC is Win8.1, a Win7 bench PC for cloning and a Win10 laptop for service work. I did some research already and Dymo kinda-sorta has support for Linux drivers and others got it working so I am hopeful.

> and enabled it

Did they though...? If they did you'd think there'd be documentation of that provided as a part of the service.

The problem with this is that there is no direct comparable parallel. Physical removal is not allowed, and that most agree with. But this is not the same, there was no physical change, only a software lock. You and I would maybe like it to be treated the same, but it isn't yet.

Software licenses are revoked quite frequently. Game console vendors can blacklist serials bricking essential features of a game console, Steam blacklists stolen activation keys, storage providers can "expire" free space from promos that never included a time limit. Porting the law naively would mean all of these are not allowed either.
It's not "unlimited", its "unlimited*". There are additional constraints that are enumerated afterwards. But for the vast majority of users, it will feel like unlimited, so it's not necessary for them to read those additional constraints
Go get a 1Gbps link and try to download 24/7 for a month. See what you get. Averaged, it'll probably be around 800Mbps, or 260TB. Latency exists.

(If you're really lucky, you might be able to get 900Mbps or so, but that's not likely: the max throughput on 1Gb Ethernet is below 950Mbps, even if you had packets flowing continuously!)

They also said the use averages above 250TB.
