I would guess that all three major public cloud providers will have great growth at least for a decade ahead. People here sometimes forget that there are companies outside Silicon Valley startups.
Imagine you are building a weight lifting team. You want strong people who are willing to work hard.

Someone from the US Olympic marathon team applies! Wow! This guy is really good athlete. But..clearly his experience is with long distance running, not short intense bursts. He likely won’t be a good fit.

Same thing with companies, just more nuanced.
>2. Minimize distance between points. Putting everything on a line means increases the distance for point to point trips. In a 2d city, things are closer together. In a 3d city, even more so. This affects travel, networks, etc. Important / highly frequented things will cluster in the middle.

higher dimensions also increases the length public infrastructure laid down and number of routes. connecting a 5x5 grid needs twice as as many lines as a 1x25 grid.
The term has been in existence since way before iPhones were a thing[0], and it doesn't generally have the connotation you are prescribing to it.

Gamma entrainment attenuates amyloid load and modifies microglia (2016)
Yeah this is a pain point for me as well, especially when developing the pipelines themselves. There's no good way to run it on my own machine, so I'm stuck pushing new commits to Gitlab over and over again and waiting for it to complete, or rather fail so I can troubleshoot the new error.

I would take that bet, if there were any way to objectively assess. The surface area of BIOS is just so much smaller.

In theory yes. In practice they're always going to be giant blobs of C written by hardware makers, massaged just enough to get Windows to boot.
This really caught my interest. I set up the docker on my Unraid instance and as far as I can tell you can't set the iOS app or chrome add on to use the local instance. Kind of a shame...

> If you take the money out, or move it elsewhere, they cannot just break into your house and take the cash however

That’s because they don’t have the technical means to extract that money from your house without entering it. I’m sure they would gladly do it if they could.

> Also you haven't answered my question, which I think compares better to this situation than a random million dollars deposited into my account.

In your “car with unpaid option” example I think the manufacturer is in the right to remove it if they didn’t explicitly say you can keep it.

> No one randomly gave this guy an upgrade - it was a warranty replacement with a better item, that happens literally all the time in all kinds of industries. What doesn't happen is the manufacturer turning around few years later and taking the item back.

It’s not clear from the tweet thread if Tesla actually said “sure, you can keep the larger battery”. It seems it was an assumption made by the original owner based on… passage of time and Tesla’s inaction I guess?

>The link says "my friend got this", so even the person who authored that post isn't claiming to have received this notice. This is a second hand report, at best. For all we know, their friend received this notice years ago, and mentioned it to the OP, who didn't realize it was old news.

There are at least two other posters in the linked thread that say they've received the same notice today (page 7). From the post history, one of them appears to work for a provider that I'd bet is reselling Hetzner boxes/slots on their boxes.
I am kind of living by this; I really don't see how a "menial" job experience transfers onto "exciting" jobs. If you want to do ML or program computer graphics, 5 years of writing CRUD code in Python will probably not do wonders for you. Unless of course before that you had scarce programming experience, and even then I don't see why would you need to sit all of those 5 years out. Seems like this kind of advice boils down to "dress for the job you want...".
Where would one go to attend a steampunk convention?

I don't really want to admit how much money I would be willing to spend to see a working telegraph office, let alone one with teletype machines and messengers.
So is it better to do this, or do an Apple and just have the software silently start handling things for you in order to protect your battery therefore protecting you? I don't mean that in a rhetorical way either. Things happen in the real world that means products sometimes misbehave outside of the expected. To me, the ultimate thing would be for the company to revalue the item based on the new limited capabilities and refund the difference as well as making it safe. Should they be expected to buy back entirely for something losing 30% of capabilities?

I would expect they get a lot of resumes to pour through. It wouldn't be feasible to point out specifics when a lot of the rejected candidates would be rejected due to numbers more so than weaknesses.

Pointing out weaknesses also invites argument, and possibly even public goading, since these days so many people seem to enjoy airing grievances to "get back" at the company as if not hiring them was somehow (usually treated as obviously) inappropriate.
I have two technical questions after reading this article.

1) The author writes: <<I expected that I would call e.g. isconnected() on the sockets after accept() tells me something happened to it.>> I cannot find any man page for this function. Google also fails me. Is this a hypothetical function or a non-POSIX call?

2) The author writes: <<On Linux, I also needed to disable signaling on the recv() so that I could handle the connection error inline rather than need to register a signal handler. I opted to add the MSG_NOSIGNAL to both send() and recv() and handle potential disconnect errors at each call.>>

I checked the Linux man page for recv(). The flag MSG_NOSIGNAL does not exist (at least in my version). However, send() supports it. Do I misunderstand?
Sjogrens autoimmune support forums are full of anecdotes from people who discover that nightshades are problematic for them. They will often give a list of good / bad things that work for them.

The chances of you building something worth suing is probably small, so don’t worry about it for now. You’re probably better off spending time choosing the color of your new Ferrari (paid for by your new startup) than worrying about how someone is going to sue you.
You simply won’t get (A) in some industries. People love making things like games, not boring CRUD apps driven by people outside of development who also resemble (B).

Although I agree with you in some ways, there are things like SSDs that are overprovisioned so they have a bit of extra space that they can use as the flash degrades.

Not having that extra space will dramatically lower the lifespan and reliability of the drive. Same with these batteries.

They just need to be honest about what they're selling.
That's not unique to dictatorships, and communist ones least of all.
> I still use Cachegrind, Callgrind, and DHAT all the time. I’m amazed that I’m still using Cachegrind today, given that it has hardly changed in twenty years. (I only use it for instruction counts, though. I wouldn’t trust the icache/dcache results at all given that they come from a best-guess simulation of an AMD Athlon circa 2002.)

I'm pretty sure I've seen people using the icache/dcache miss counts from valgrind for profiling. I wonder how unreliable these numbers are.

It doesn't list what information is transferred.

Does it also download all the Apps I have on iOS if the same App is available on Play Store? ( Probably Not ).

Doesn't support Whatsapp. The biggest lock in problem on Smartphone platform. Not that I think Google cares or Apple would allow it anyway.
usually it goes into read-only mode when it wears out, so there's no data loss.
> Honda even more so—they don’t have a single PHEV or EV model available (there was the Clarity).

I suppose the difference is that it would be understandably unreasonable for someone to start filling extra containers at an unlimited soda refill, they would probably understand that they are pushing their luck.

If the restaurant sold 'Unlimited Soda, 2 liters per minute, £50/month' I would expect them to deliver on the very specific quantities they promised at the price they offered. If they tell me I'm over-dispensing, I think I'd be rightfully annoyed that they have over-promised.
Do people really find the thing mentioned in the last paragraph that ironic? To be honest, I do not (except, maybe, if the scientists are economists who work in industrial organization, or something). Many natural scientists I know are deeply skeptical of our ability to accrue this kind of subtle knowledge about complex human processes and social organizations through experiments...
Arguing about the technicalities DOES NOT MATTER one bit about what the final outcome will be, and in fact appears to be a carefully calculated means of distraction.

Flash likes to run pretty hot and we still rarely attach heat sinks, even less often proper heat sinks with fins. There's a lot of headroom.

And if your main goal is capacity you could decide to just not run it faster, which will avoid basically all the extra heat.
> Being very common makes the event systematic.

The thing is that when dealing with something on the scale of the justice system even a hundred examples don't mean it occurs more than a fraction of a percent of the time. When assessing anecdotes to try and determine event frequency you need to understand how the anecdotes were sampled.

I wonder about many things when I see this, but to pick out one detail: won't those mirror walls soon get damaged by the wind carrying sand? And, when you stand in front of them and the sun is up, won't that get quite hot? And, wouldn't it be better to somehow use the walls to collect solar power (thermal or electrical) from them instead of letting them just reflect the light? And won't birds in great numbers crash into the façade like people in a house of mirrors? And isn't it ugly?

If this isn't your main account, then this is a violation of the ToS and Meta/FB can (and in many cases, have) ban you and remove access to everything you bought at the drop of a hat.

If it is your main account, then you should assume that they are linking all of your VR data in the backend with whatever shadow profiles they have generated for you from other sources.

The marathon runner’s experience is so different from what’s expected from a weight lifter, the two things won’t interfere.

My favourite example of this is performers with a background in dancing who then go on to do martial arts scenes in films. It’s many of the same movements, and being a dancer gets you a large part of the way there for choreographed fight scenes, but then you get to the details, and they’ve spent so much time training to move with a certain softness and gracefulness that the snappier, more explosive movement in martial arts becomes incredibly difficult for them. This is especially obvious with kicks, both in terms of leg movement and foot posture.

On your last point you may find this timeline of games industry market cap to be equal parts enlightening and horrifying.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/...

During your lifetime consoles have been largely static and mobile gaming came out of nowhere and eclipsed every other form of gaming combined. But you're also old enough to have fraternized with those who rode the big console wave. 'Big' here is of course tiny compared to the mobile gaming wave. But it felt big at the time (and was.)

There are those who believe that games aren't how much money they make so they continue to ignore mobile gaming. Still, the timeline at least explains developers' behaviors.
Well, no amount of weight can make the horse slide backwards and there's no cost to taking more time. So under a simple model, you just want to add so much food that the horse can barely move.

If the horse eats 20lbs per day (as noted in the article), say it can barely pull 2000lbs on a good quality cart. So 100 days of food. Then just figure out how far it can go in 100 days.

In one day horses can go 80-160km, but they need rest after a few days of this. So say it can do 50km per day sustained and unweighted, 25km at high weight (early in the journey).

Split roughly in half into weight/unweighted days, we get a total distance of about 3,750km for a self-powered horse.

That's almost Lisbon to Moscow, or almost New York to Seattle.
Likely, google perceives that their cloud losses are about on par with what they’d lose on software/other expenses if they shut down gcp and continued in house with their infrastructure (rightly or wrongly).

> Any dealership that tried to stick me with such a markup not only would blow the sale, but would not get my business in the future.

And they are planning to do it again https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-software-defined-cpu...

Now this time the idea is that because their differnt SKU's are basically the same chip under the hood anyway just locked at the Silicon level why not allow them to be unlocked if the extra features are found to be needed after purchase.

This happen in other markets just fine. One market that jumps to mind is oscilloscopes, you will basically have a single piece of hardware spanning multiple skus where features are disabled via software/hardware (sometimes the CPU is just reading resistor values or jumpers to determine which model it is and therefore which features it has enabled), one notable vendor jumps to mind is Hantek. You can take a 70Mhz scope and opening it up to unlock it to 250mhz. (The same can be done in a number of Rigol scopes iirc)
