I'm guessing this varies a lot by location and what the local authorities are like.

I live in a turn of the century neighborhood with a lot of craftsman bungalows, four squares, victorians, etc. So there's usually a couple smaller film productions every summer.

They're generally quite considerate. If they're doing an exterior shot they'll only block people going through for the brief moment they're actually filming. They're organized and tidy other than yes there's gonna be a ton of generator cables running around. Knitting seems to be the big hobby for staff waiting for the next shot.

I talked with the owner of the convenience store about this stuff one time. Some production was shooting across the corner and liked the look of his store and wanted to use it as a backdrop for a few things. So they worked out a simple deal where they'd repaint his entire exterior in trade for the rights to film. He was totally happy with the situation and said they didn't really disrupt his business.

I wonder what ends up making the difference?
That is the cost per month. Every single month you pay the full cost of the hardware you use.

The real killer on S3 is bandwidth anyway. Getting your data out of S3 costs much more than leaving it there, which I'm sure is by design.

If player1 can make the same widget with less resources than player2, its not zero-sum. That does often entail that player1 has some advantage, which could be any number of things. Is that OK?
The virtualized storage layer could actually be a bottleneck here. Though I think they've improved the performance of it to the point where it might no longer be a bottleneck but I'm not sure.
That is also commonplace.
What package? There's probably a story there.
Banks don’t want to do it because it’s more trouble than it’s worth to them. It’s inherently labor intensive, takes up valuable space, can’t be automated, and they can’t write loans against it.

I don’t know much about the private ones (there aren’t any near me) but I’d imagine the market is less in demand than compared to the past. The high end of this market buys their own vaults, and the lower end of this market no longer stores wealth in physical form. My grandma had stock certificates and gold coins. People today have 401ks.

After all, it was never a primary business for banks, it was just a value-add.

Then there's the self-storage market that takes a good chunk of this now, they're secure enough for grandma's heirlooms and you get a significantly bigger box.

Causal foundations of bias, disparity and fairness
I think the knowledge graph in this case is mostly derived from first principles, e.g. understand roasting, searing, broiling etc and you can apply that to any vegetable or meat.

Ideally one would be able to learn language with the same kind of etymological study, however I put it to you that is FAR more complex and boring and doesn't have more fact / science based rules than cooking does.

Also, cooking is a very personal / familial / cultural experience. Recipes can be passed down a single family, whereas language is much more broad.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the knowledge graph for cooking is smaller and more personal, and is better served as a personalized note taking system as opposed to a gamified interface to a public database.

For example, if I would prefer recipes with eggs and potatoes as opposed to recipes with spinach and mushrooms, I should be able to cater my knowledge graph to learning more about recipes that use those ingredients (ideally with some balance in nutrients).
Multi-AZ architecture just double the cost at least, and it tends to cost even much more if the business is small. Good engineers find the balance between the cost and the availability.
I'm curious if you've actually interviewed users who can't identify a friend vs scrambled egg and how much of this demographic exists. That example seems like something you'd learn from simply ordering breakfast a couple of times.

I'm not sure - I think there's certainly an interesting truth that people act differently when you remove the pressures of public scrutiny.

In particular - they are much less likely to always blindly follow party lines, or corporate wishes, and I think there's value there.

How would you feel about a tweaked system? All votes are recorded, but the voting record is entirely withheld until 3 months before the next election for that seat.

The public is made aware of the voting record when it matters: During the next election. But during the term, they are much less susceptible to corporate donors and lobbyists, or pressure from members of their own party.

There's a chicken-and-egg problem there that most "code libertarians" think that code is a better "more objective" adjudicator than a human-scale justice system with things like human attorneys involved and consequently there's a lack of standardized software controls in "smart contracts" that would allow for human-scale intervention by authorities or even acknowledge the existence of outside authorities beyond the code of the smart contract itself, so there's no clear and natural "jurisdiction" there at all. Attorneys will get involved in just about anything if they think they can make money (fees) from it, but so far there are intentionally no direct "jurisdictions" to enter (what country is a globally distributed software program answerable to? the data center that last ran a bit of it? the author's? the victim's? There aren't enough laws on the books today to answer these questions), and most "smart contract" developers see this lack of "jurisdiction" a feature, not a bug.

API just defines how another software can connect and interact with your software application. An API being "open" just means that the documentation of the way to connect and interact through an API is publicly available. The "Open Source" terminology however applies to source code of a software. If someone claims an API is "open source", it means the source code of the application providing the API is publicly available. In this case, the API is offered as a service and the software application that actually exposes and executes the API is on a server. That is why people are asking if the API is open source, where is the source code of the backend.

Edit: I can see now that someone has posted a link to the repository of their backend / API source code too. Many must have missed that earlier, and hence the query.
No, it really isn't. The people currently in control seem to be doing just fine.

I'm only preemptively hurting attackers. If people don't want to be dealt with as attackers, they should not attack.

After all, if they're only there to take your stuff, they can do so when you're not home.

Your logic that people who attack you should be left alone is, quite frankly, weird.

Now factor in redundancy and server costs, and the difference is not so huge. You're still paying a multiple of the raw cost, but unless you're storing on the exabyte scale I think it shouldn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Cost of a single engineer to manage a Minio cluster probably already outweighs the extra cost you're paying at any reasonable scale (i.e. most companies). And if you're a big player the published costs are not what you're paying.
Having a Precursor itself would be a huge red flag.
Most of that expense is just the cost of a hot failover, but there is some additional cost around inter-AZ data transfer. If someone is not checking the boxes for cost reasons, I would be surprised if they had failovers in the same AZ. It seems more likely they just don't have failovers.
And if that's clamped down on, they just run increasingly vague ads that don't mention a candidate by name, but are clearly boosting the person/party/side they want to see succeed. A lot of people--particularly Democrats--like to say the Supreme Court got Citizens United wrong, but there's no way to get money out of politics while still maintaining any level of free speech.

I met a guy that had a bag of goodies on him at all times, even when he was pretty much naked. This was in the third world. I assume it was filled with gold. Might have been safer for him than the bank. I did not ask him why he did not use one, but I'm guessing it's better I never found out the answer.
I like the idea of "blind" or anonymous congressional voting. It feels counterintuitive, but donors might be less willing to "buy" votes if they can't confirm that they're getting what they pay for. And a representative who has accepted lots of corporate money might feel safer "betraying" those donors.

I think representatives would still feel pressure to vote in line with the interests of their constituents and get results, otherwise they get replaced by the next exciting candidate.
It was mentioned in the parent comment as an example of something unreasonably onerous.
I wonder if people are actually having their lives "ruined" by vaping. Maybe. What would be worse is if vaping wasn't available and they went from nothing to cigarettes. I guess you'd say those lives would be "devastated", or something?
This is a really interesting point. We’ve bought into the “American Dream” of social media— as long as what you’re saying is “good” enough or “interesting” enough, you too, can go viral. But the reality is the success is not nearly as organic as it seems.
After quickly falling in love with Godot and several months of serious use I'm having to give up on it due to Godot's lack of funding to fix its more than 6000 open issues on Github:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues

Every single time a Godot bug bites me I find that a bunch of other devs reported the issue more than a year ago but no one has had time/money to fix the issue. For example, I was just bitten by #45628 opened Feb 1, 2021:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/45628

When implementing controller support for a top-down Zelda-like game, it's normal to allow either the d-pad or left analog stick to control direction. But if you enable both at the same time in Godot then d-pad inputs cause your character to "freeze".

Eventually Godot will stabilize and be to game engines what Blender currently is to 3D modelers. If I had time to learn the Godot C++ code I would volunteer to help but I want to actually make video games instead of working on an engine.
There's hype and then there's anti-hype hype, which tries to undermine any genuine progress in a hip contrarian fashion. Eg look, I'm the only who can see the truth. There's AI hype and then there's anti-AI Gary Marcus hype, who never produces any novel criticism. It's the same banal broken record every single time put in a very self-aggrandizing manner.

DM is probably hyping it up and you are most likely hyping up your own criticism. It's a great symbiotic relationship outwardly presented as opposition.
I don't know if flowering is the right word, that might be too rosy of a picture (sorry, bad pun).

I don't mean to attach a value judgement to direct democracy. If you asked me to, I'd agree that it's something thats doomed to fail.

I just find it ironic that an elite media institution makes the argument that something that ostensibly lets every person (all of the 'demos') voice their opinion is undermining "democracy".

I find it hard to explain the amusement that I get from this scenario... it's sort of like a double entendre. If you use the original literal meaning of the word democracy, the headline seems like an obvious contradiction (letting all the people speak is undermining rule by the people!). If you translate democracy to "our specific form of democracy" or just "our current system" then the effect goes away.

Of course a lot of this relies on social media being some perfect public forum, which it obviously isn't. I just saw some comedy to the situation is all.

> I was referencing the full pricing page for s3 that breaks down by region and class.

You were referring to the announcements and these announcements are still available.

The actual pricing pages of course only show current prices. What would be the motivation for AWS to show outdated prices there as well? No other company I can think of does that and given the complexity of the pricing structure for AWS services that'd only confuse users even more.

> A lot of price decreases also might have happened silently (without a blog post)

Do you have an example for that or is this just hearsay?

> or as de facto decreases (widely but privately negotiated, e.g. "sticker price")

Privately negotiated deals aren't regular price reductions as they're only available for customers with a fairly large spend for such AWS services.
They do, it's called the master GitHub branch. But generally if you're shipping something that doesn't get updated as often (you don't want to update via Google Play or Steam as often as a website would) you'd like a little stability...
> nobody believes what you write on your resume

That's nonsense.

It's quite straightforward actually: go through the CVs of engineers working at top companies and look how their resume looks different from yours.

Chances are that they're actually selling themselves properly, using lots of jargon, using strong action verbs, and following the advice that has shown to work for the last decade.
I'm of the opinion they should have access to absolutely nothing without a warrant issued by a judge. And that the warrant needs to be lawfully issued based on probable cause that a crime has been committed, for a specific person, to search a specific account at a specific time and place.

Back in the day this "extreme" was called the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution. But law enforcement doesn't respect the highest law of the land, and neither do the courts, and neither does the government. IMHO that makes the whole lot of them criminals.
I think you're confusing availability zones with regions in this comment.

AWS AZs don't even have consistent naming across AWS accounts.
That only solves for explicit quid pro quos. It does nothing for the case where corporate sponsors donate to candidates who honestly signal during campaigning that they are the kind of candidate who cares about those sponsors' interests.

I think explicit quid pro quo is far less impactful/prevalent then pro-corporate donors simply looking at the pool of campaigners and putting weight behind candidates that look like they'll vote how the donors want. All that requires is for the donors to be able to at least partially predict future behavior from candidates' current appearance. Secret votes won't change anything on that view.

Are you saying that there should be a single idea of what "good food" is?

I personally don't think any particular dish is good or bad, but how well it's cooked.
Populism is just a slur to apply to people you want to imply are too stupid to know what's good for them.

The People's Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Party_(United_States) called themselves populists, and fought for: "collective bargaining, federal regulation of railroad rates, an expansionary monetary policy, and a Sub-Treasury Plan that required the establishment of federally controlled warehouses to aid farmers. Other Populist-endorsed measures included bimetallism, a graduated income tax, direct election of Senators, a shorter workweek, and the establishment of a postal savings system. These measures were collectively designed to curb the influence of monopolistic corporate and financial interests and empower small businesses, farmers and laborers."

The establishment hated this and made a full court media and institutional press to paint them as stupid rubes. Ever since everyone who the current establishment doesn't like, especially anyone who gives a shit about what voters say they want, is called a populist.
Scott was unusually-for-a-movie subtle about it, and it's easily lost in the atmosphere. More or less, depending on which film cut. Makes re-watching even more fun though!
Hence my wording: depending on your local laws and the whims of the judicial system.
If your definition of "good food" excludes literally the most popular dish in America then you might want to consider that your tastes are a bit niche.

I don't understand why so many people consider anything part of US culinary tradition to be bad while seemingly giving a pass to everyone else like it isn't a different arrangement of meat, dairy, carbs, salt, and acid.

Like 20+ years ago they were articles about people being prosecuted based on the only evidence their money in the wallet tested positive for drugs.

I recall one story where the lawyer asked the judge for a dollar tested it and it came back positive. Quote at the time was Something like 97% of all money has been exposed to drugs.

This is my memory of events, so take with grain of salt.
In many large cities, there's shorter-than-a-week minimum notices for street closures. For example in DC, no-parking permits have to be posted at least 72 hours in advance.

If you are going out of town for longer than that amount of time, you either need to find somewhere you can pay to park your car, or you need to get a neighbor or friend to check in on it periodically and move it if there's a sign.

This responsibility is the only cost of using public space to store your car, aside from a nominal annual vehicle registration fee. Seems fair to me.
And in that case you're appealing to the crowd and trying to persuade your opponent is not very likely and not the point.
You could modify the algo to not display additional content unless the person showed evidence of having read it.

Yeah I don’t know, this isn’t to vouch for Amazon’s “planned attrition” quota at all but it seems regular “trimming of under performers” is better than “all at once witch hunt”.
If I think about the “under performers” at my workplace I wish they were gone long ago (from a work standpoint, this isn’t a personal stab).
But all of the above creates a pretty hostile work environment, probably.
And to be a contrarian I have also worked at a place (non eng) that did maintain public (but anonymous) employee rankings (based on “customer” feedback [kind of complicated to explain in brief])- it was still a decent place to work. When it comes to this topic I relate to academic GPA - it’s a flawed and imperfect system but from a business/Org perspective what other options are there?
I wouldn’t want to work in that environment myself but what do workers at Meta or Amzn expect?
Why would you want list comprehensions in a game engine? It's just sugar to make looping over a list or array look more functional but not particularly useful in a game.
Subscription plans? Sure, you solve it with a single static template. The problem is reduced to producing PDFs (at scale).

But intricate pricing is unavoidable in some industries. Often to materialize physical or logistical constraints. Take cloud computing. There is elasticity, but some order of magnitudes are only reachable if you pay the price. Or you might get volume discounts. All of this requires segmented pricing.

How would you lay out an n-dimensions matrix on a 2D piece of paper? This is data design all over again.

With an invoice targeting the right audience, you can let your customer figure these complex schemes by themselves (and have them not feel cheated). It will make your support team happy to not have to answer the "where my money goes?" question ad nauseam.

And at the end we can't just send a JSON dump to the bookkeepers. The law still requires that document we call an invoice. So yes, I think invoice UX is a thing and is here to stay.
