I had Azure AKS monitoring turned on for a minuscule, essentially unused hobby project. After about four months the monitoring costs suddenly exploded from about $4/mo to about $4k/mo.

No idea what happened and MSFT support couldn't tell me what was happening because at more than $100/day burn rate on a hobby project I started deleting everything connected with the effort as fast as possible.

All I know is my AKS wasn't exploding. Services were still responsive and acting normally in their minuscule cluster, this was just a logging cost explosion.

Also billing alerts are your friend.
Not for use for commentary as long as they don’t threaten the market for the originals (as in super duper exact high res vs a couple okay thumbnails to show the comparison).
I'll skip the references to USSR and collectivisation.

The BBC story, taken at face value, shows a system that has failed the patient. Not for the last time too.

NHS needs to be compared not to some ideal setup that never fails and is cheap to run but an actual alternative.

Here the alternative seems to be US style, privitised, extract-max-value-for-the-shareholders system.

You need a great deal more than a BBC story to justify something like that
Nothing prevents such future FSF successor organisation from forking all GNU projects and setting a different contribution policy or whatever. You won’t be able to change/upgrade the licensing terms unless you get the blessing from FSF itself, but then, Linux seems to be managing fine on GPLv2 so maybe it’s not such a big issue.
> "Panic" doesn't have to mean not executing a single other instruction.

We're talking specifically about the current meaning of a Linux kernel panic. That means an immediate halt to all of userspace.
Oohh, that's a nice exercise. A few more ideas that should be easy to implement:

- Content-Type: application/json, and body {"response"꞉ "success"} (hint: that's not an ASCII colon).

- Content-Type: application/json, and body [[[[[...]]]]] nested ten thousand times.

- Redirect to their own public IP, and at a random common port.

- Redirect to their own public IP in dotless hexadecimal notation (ping 172.217.23.110 -> ping 0xacd9176e).

- From[1], redirect to

http://example.com/;'$(gt=$(perl$IFS-E$IFS's//62/;s/62/chr/e;say');eval$IFS''cowsay$IFS''pwned$IFS$gt/dev/tty)';cowsay$IFS''pwned

(or instead of "cowsay" run "cat" to block their script)

- Pick a header, then insert one from [EICAR test string[2], \x00, \n] somewhere in the middle.

- Or just add a "Server:" header with a random line from the Big List of Naughty Strings[3].

- Redirect to a normal URL, but with a trailing dot in the domain name[4], like "example.com.". It's valid, but you'd be surprised how many things it breaks.

- Nested content encoding with "Content-Encoding: gzip, gzip, gzip, gzip, ...", with a random depth. The n-1 payload is "WAZAAAA".

- "Content-Type: image/jpeg" and "Content‑Encoding: gzip" with a valid gzip body... But the ‑ in "Content‑Encoding" is U+2011 NON-BREAKING HYPHEN.

- "Content-Type: image/jpeg" and "Content-Language: en-US\u000bContent‑Encoding: gzip" with a valid gzip body, where \u000b is a vertical tab.

- Spin the wheel of HTTP status codes! res.WriteHeader(rand.Intn(1000))

- Infinite loop sending a 100 (Continue) every five seconds (they might have a timeout for the TCP and TLS handshakes, and even a timeout for the next TCP segment... But did they remember to set a timeout for receiving the HTTP body?). Watch out for running out of connections.

Never got on Facebook, fortunately. Quit Twitter last May. I'm still on Instagram because I get a lot of good recipes, exercise tips and underwater scenes - I guess it seems lot more positive for me than the others, but possibly that's because I've been careful about who/what I follow there.
It's really more about rigor and the actual practice of engineering (e.g., tracking requirements and verification of implementation against these requirements, verifying systems & subsystems meet correctness invariants, etc.) moreso than regulation. Most software development is craftsmanship, including the Linux kernel. It's certainly possible to practice software development as engineering, but it's not common.

Your conclusion is correct, and your math is wrong.

So it's worth more like 20k to call, if she knows his exact hand.

I'd say those are four traits you'd look for in employees/potential of any company. I'd add a fifth (or maybe just an adjunct to the fourth): the ability and willingness to learn.
Yes. Quite a lot. A small number at the end of the second world war. Regular use of machine-gun armed jets during the Korean War. The Vietnam war saw jet fighters armed primarily with missiles engaging each other (195 kills claimed by the US). Various conflicts in the middle east including the The Six Day War, the Yom Kippur War, the Iran-Iraq war (around 100 kills claimed by Iran) and The Gulf War (44 claimed kills by the US). And many more conflicts as well. The most recent US air to air kill was in 2017. An F-18 shot down a Syrian SU-22. Russia also claims some air to air kills in Ukraine. Jets have gone toe to toe with each other since the moment they were first introduced continuously until the present day. The total number of air engagements is somewhere on the order of magnitude of 1,000, and a fair bit less if you are only considering fighter aircraft
> At the time of calling the all-in, she was more likely to lose.

This is based on the equity shown on the stream which takes into account the dead cards, if you only know the board and their hole cards, she has 54.55% equity. Either way she should call because she needs 40.3% equity to break even (109/(109+161)), any equity more than that is a call and she doesn't need to know what cards will come for that call to be profitable.
A few points of interest for those who aren't familiar w/ brazilian politics:

- as the link shows, brazilian political parties are numerous, so general elections typically have multiple candidates. There's no electoral college.

- voting is mandatory in Brazil. In the 2018 presidential elections, there were ~117M voters. By comparison, the last US presidential election saw turnout of 158M voters.

- Brazil has used electronic voting since 1996. General public sentiment towards it has historically always been positive. No instance of fraud has ever been surfaced and the system produces results extremely quickly (as in, within the same day).

- Recently the president has been questioning its security, but for some context on his political platform, he also held a similar stance to Trump on the topic of Covid and has been criticized over his position saying deforestation is good for economy. He's still the favorite candidate. The second most popular candidate (Lula) has a long history of controversy (one of the most high profile being him being implicated in investigations related to the impeachment of the previous president Dilma). As you can imagine, many brazilians are cynical about the country's political system. Take that as you will.
Thank goodness we moved on to broadband.
It's also the sort of thing somebody in a panic or under severe stress just because of the pressure of the spotlight and the thought of being thought dishonest might do.

Don't underestimate the power of mental self-sabotage of the innocent.

Even more so given the power dynamics here.
Given how Switzerland operates, it seems impossible to imagine to me that they wouldn't bail them out. Switzerland would be a developing country without their banking sector
> they do represent a floor of acceptable behavior for people working together in a group

Companies represent a floor of acceptable behavior for people working together in a group in a company (and that's not even true between different companies).

There are an infinite number of people working together in a group that do behave acceptably but not in the same way a company would.

for example: politics, unions, military, volunteers, churches, research etc
Sure, I understand in that example what to do. But as a society, where do we draw the line? Why is it okay to apply affirmative action for selecting students but not okay when accepting employees (continuing the example from this thread)? Since we're trying to fix a systemic issue, we need a consistent response across society for it to be most effective.

My point is this is a complicated problem with no perfect solution, and people will correctly point out flaws with it both theoretically and (more relevant for this discussion) how we implement it.

Anyway, I think we mostly agree. Cheers.
A lot of Americans don't seem to have any self-discipline when it comes to consumerism, and they're all carrying credit cards.

Last I checked it wasn't easy to use something like optuna to do hyperparameter tuning with hydra/DVC.

Ideally I'd like the tool I use for data versioning (DVC/git-lfs/gif-annex) to be orthogonal to that which I use for hyperparameter sweeping (DVD/optuna/SageMaker experiments), and orthogonal to that which I use for configuration management (DVC/Hydra/Plain YAML), to that what I use for experimental DAG management (DVC/Makefile)

Optuna is becoming very popular in the data-science/deep learning ecosystem at the moment. It would be great to see more composable tools, rather than having to opt all-in into a given ecosystem.

Love the work that DVC is doing though to tackle these difficult problems though!
Sounds like he's calling them out on an internet forum that they are also free to ignore. Doesn't sound like he's the problem.

I initially opened the website in Firefox. But did not grant it location permissions. So nothing showed up. Then I opened it in Chrome and gave it my location permissions. I started seeing stuff on Chrome, but also in Firefox.

I would definitely recommend riding a bicycle. Nothing too hard, just regular aerobic exercise. It gives your mind a break too because you're focused on doing one thing. Bonus points if you can ride in nature or somewhere beautiful.
I'm not entirely sure what you're hinting at. Are you saying that the US military and intelligence agencies use metadata to track down and kill people that they deem as enemies? And that Meta/Google/etc. are in cahoots with them to do this?

Can you link me example of this happening? Is there credible evidence that an ordinary citizen (like myself) is in more danger from state actors because of the information harvesting that large corporations engage in? I feel like if the government wants to track down and kill me they already have my address, cell phone records, etc. No need to contact Meta or Tiktok.
My guess is they had some heuristic based on EDIDs, which are incredibly easy to spoof.

Watch the original Hanna-Barbera's Tom and Jerry.

Most of the time Jerry dominates Tom, of course, but Tom do have the luck on his side too. And sometimes they are both lose (infamouse Blue Cat Blues).

Now watch a couple of WB's Tweety or Wile E. Coyote shows. You will find yourself reaching for a gun even if you are the most pacificistiest person in the whole universe.
Probably the best move, I mean what can you say? An immediate apology isn't going to be credible and you can't really claim innocence at all.
Hard to tell if this is incredible mismanagement or sheer arrogance.

Yes.
> This is an argument over not fair use, but transformative use.

I’m going to be pedantic, but: as far as US law goes, transformative use isn’t separate from fair use. Rather, transformativeness is a key test used to help establish whether something qualifies as fair use.
> Each party has delegates present during vote counting [..] the system would be better if physical counting could be performed as well

If there's no physical counting, then what are the delegates observing? If the machines were compromised, how could they tell?
Oh, the other way that things have gotten more difficult is that documentation now seems to lack the depth it once had. For example, I tend to use Xcode for development. There are all sorts of functions within the app that I know about but can’t comprehend (like the memory graph), and the docs are barely more than a screen shot labeling everything and giving a 2 sentence description of it at the most basic level. Like on the memory graph, what do the different symbols tell me? Why are some blocks of memory represented by a square, and some by … what is that? A pyramid? What’s the significance? How does that help me in tracking down my memory bug?

I don't think neuroscientists would appreciate being called psychologists, and priming research has replicated poorly enough that I'm comfortable calling it pseudoscience. And, although some predictions of behaviorism have been borne out, behaviorist psychologists publishing unreplicable experiments were Feynman's specific target in Cargo Cult Science.
In the mountain preserve nearby, many (if not most) of the saguaros have been killed by a fungus spread by moths. I expect the landscape to become mostly shrubbery soon with or without fire.

Microsoft did the same with Xbox, but they stuck with it through all the years the division was a huge money sink. Google could have taken a lesson from that: even Microsoft's existing presence in gaming with Windows, DirectX, and a long list of well-respected development studios wasn't enough for a quick entry.

> If Telefunc is bug-free (which I intend to be the case), then you won't need to debug Telefunc itself.

And if no one crashes, you don't need airbags.

If I'm being blunt, reality doesn't give a shit what you think. It's better to design with the assumption there are bugs so that _WHEN_ it happens, the users are up a creek without a paddle.

These sorts of implicit assumptions are how painful software is made.
I've used both extensively. Git-lfs has always been a nightmare. Because each tracked large file can be in one of two states - binary, or "pointer" - it's super easy for the folder to get all fouled up. It would be unable to "clean" or "smudge", since either would cause some conflict. If you accidentally pushed in the wrong state, you could "infect" the remote and be really hosed. I had this happen numerous times over about 2 years of using lfs, and each time the only solution was some aggressive rewriting of history.

That, combined with the nature of re-using the same filename for the metadata files, meant that it was common for folks to commit the binary and push it. Again, lots of history rewriting to get git sizes back down.

Maybe there exist solutions to my problems but I had spent hours wrestling with it trying to fix these bad states, and it caused me much distress.

Also configuring the backing store was generally more painful, especially if you needed >2GB.

DVC was easy to use from the first moment. The separate meta files meant that it can't get into mixed clean/smudge states. If you aren't in a cloud workflow already, the backing store was a bit tricky, but even without AWS I made it work.
I got a free game system for years since they are giving everyone refunds.

This will be a common attitude in the future as far as Google's consumer products go. People will buy them expecting them to shut down in a few years, but now they'll also expect a refund.

If you're a Googler who dreams of heading up a project to make something consumer-facing it'll be a lot harder to get buy-in from the board now that it'll cost so much more to shut it down (in dollars if a refund is given or in good will if it isn't) anything that's not a massive success.

Correct, but Prince also denied each request by Weird Al - Weird Al had every legal right to release them but he chose not to because he is a class act, unlike doctor shopping selfish Prince Rogers Nelson.
I’ve always thought there’s a tipping point of fault when such a large amount of people have a problem. Small % of folks with the issue? Maybe a personal responsibility thing. Half the population can’t come up with $1000? Large amount of credit card users carrying a balance? Large swaths of people over consuming? There’s something else at work here and I struggle to point to the individual as the source of the problem.

Tesla locked the superchargers to Tesla vehicles as a business decision, not because of cables. According to news reports they plan to open the network later this year. That will require some minor charger upgrades, but I doubt they'll terribly difficult. In addition to gaining access to the Tesla network, CCS users can also look forward to the deployment of more non-Tesla CCS chargers since the market will soon demand it (given that every other car manufacturer appears to have converged on that standard, and they're likely to build a lot of cars in the long run.)

The much gnarlier situation is for us legacy Tesla owners. We'll still have access to the supercharger network, but we'll be sharing it with non-Tesla vehicles. Meanwhile we won't be able to use any of the non-Tesla chargers that get built. It sucks to own a Betamax when everyone else is about to settle on VHS.

I read the whole thread up till now and did not see anyone supporting mandated DEI statements. So I’m posting to say that I do support them. In my experience at a couple of different learning institutions I’ve seen what I believe are positive changes that they’ve enabled.

The problem is a problem of networks. Let's say CS are insolvent, if they do go bust, then the problem is you then need to figure out all the creditors and pay them in order. It's possible you could do that eventually, and everyone else is solvent. But firstly, lots of CS counter parties are going to collapse whilst you just figure out who you're going to pay. Secondly, it's quite likely that some of the counter parties you're defaulting against are therefore themselves insolvent. But thirdly, it doesn't matter, because the market is going to go mad dropping anyone who could possibly be a counter party to CS (because CS can't pay), the result being a further collapse and contagion to other banks. So sure, you can say that customers should be allowed to withdraw, but that's not a practical solution. You're saying "I think the first people in the run on the bank should get paid".

The real problem is that this became clear in 2007, and nothing was really done to fix it.
