Yep, that's the compromise I came to as well at my solo bootstrapped SaaS. However, there are still some benefits of colocation that I would love to have: 1. ability to use M1 Mac minis as servers for specialized workloads, while having an identical developer setup for testing. This would really enable me to finetune, test, and squeeze out performance to the max and have the dream of a "single box" deployment serving hundreds of thousands of customers.
Hmm according to OP "A few years ago I bought two domain names on Epik.com", I doubt he wants to have more than 1k domains. Of course your use case doesn't fit the free-tier of CloudFlare but I wouldn't rule it out for all the other people that just want something that works from a legit company that cares about their users and the internet.
Unfortunately, knowledge workers aren't a uniform hivemind, so your presumption is overly broad. Firstly, there is power law variance in capability for higher-ordered reasoning.

As automation increases and self-modifying systems are deployed, there is a risk of losing grasps on simplicity and understandable systems. There are increasing possibilities of clever obsfucation by complexity for intentional purposes of job security and vendor lock-in and unintentionally for facilitating machine (self-)manipulation (that sounds dirty but you know what I mean).

The number of high-income jobs is going to contract, but perhaps the high end will increase in pay in very limited numbers. I'm sure that the high end of IC7-9 will increase, perhaps with pay exceeding $10M USD/year in a few cases. I already know of people making $800-1.2M.

Right, I'm wondering that as well, because one could argue that 1 & 2 is a necessary condition but not an automatic trigger.

The way the US government raises money is by selling treasuries with interest. Give me $100 now and I'll give you $105 in a year type stuff. Those rates are determined by market mechanics. If you set the rates to $0, nobody would buy them, and the government would be unable to raise money. The Fed rate is something else, the rate banks pay to each other for [generally] brief lending.

As for Japan, I find their name pops up oddly frequently in economic discussions. I suspect many of us still have an image of them from a time when we were growing up and their economy was booming - predicted by some to imminently surpass even the US.

My current favorite cargo cult is the quantum computing scene. No practical quantum computer exists, and nobody has a realistic concept for building one. Yet, there are dozens of startups and research groups developing quantum algorithms, quantum cloud computing solutions, etc. They seem to believe that blindly copying what silicon valley did must surely lead to success. What they are missing (or are refusing to accept) is that silicon valley was only successful because they had useful computers from the very beginning. In Germany, the cargo cult was even enshrined in the names of two research clusters ("Munich Quantum Valley" and "Quantum Valley Lower Saxony").

Last time I checked (~year ago) this wordage was still on the documentation page; someone seems to have hit in January. It seems to be missing now though.

The real issue is the potential for positive feedback cycles.

E.g.

The government spends more money on the latest bipartisan bread and circuses bill, treasury rates increase as buyers demand more to hold ever increasing amounts of debt, private interest rates follow treasury rates up,

some private borrowers are unable to service their debts at the higher rates and declare bankruptcy, private sector interest rates increase as perceived default risk goes up

some private borrowers are unable to service their debts at the higher rates and declare bankruptcy, private sector interest rates increase as perceived default risk goes up

Etc.

The last time this looked like it was going to happen the Fed stepped in and bought “fallen angel” private sector bonds. This was an extraordinary intervention. They’ll probably try again next time it starts to happen.

But they may just be building up a bigger crisis. Since the start of the “extraordinary measures” era in the early oughts they’ve never had to worry about inflation as a countervailing consideration. Now they do.

My partner read Hunt, Gather, Parent which is more or less about getting kids to do chores and not yell all the time. It's not not in the category of "miracle cure books", but the general thesis of, "do chores together and don't paint them as chores but things the family does together, try not to get angry" seems relatively sane.

Our kid is ~6 mos. so it's not applicable now, and thus can't give you practical experience. But yeah, 100% sympathy here. Wading through parenting advice is just like, epistemologically annihilating. Hang in there :)
Your allocation method - malloc + cast - may work for simple classes but overall it's a serious no-no; think you should either be using new/delete, or, if sticking with malloc /free, use placement new and an explicit destructor call respectively.
IME the best way to wrap C++ libraries for use in a C code base is to move at least one step higher then just wrapping every C++ class method with a C function (because this will result in an absolutely miserable C experience - you're basically writing C++ code in C, but without all the C++ syntax sugar).

Instead write a higher level module in C++ on top of the C++ library which implements some of the "application logic" and only exposes a very small app-specific (and non-OOP) C API to the rest of the application.

For instance with Dear ImGui I often write the entire UI code in C++ and then only expose a minimal C API which connects the UI code to the rest of the application (which is written in C).

Same with managing C++ object lifetimes, let the C++ side take care of this as much as possible, and don't expose pointers to C++ objects to the C side at all.
I guess you limit your context to your own application and not the entire computing device and therefore you get flawed results.

From what I've experienced in the few years using them is that they're pretty strict on abuse, new account or not. I think initially they would null route all ips for the server when getting copyright reports but the past few times they would just email me the report and I had to reply with the fix or else they would null route (or maybe suspend) the server after a day or so of silence.

While I do run a mail server with them I've never had any reports so I can't say anything on that but I'd assume theyre equally or even more strict with email abuse reports they get.

Um, just no. Escalating punishment, and including physical punishment, is a guaranteed way to induce extreme problems. Prisons are packed with people who lived that life, listen to some interviews. Breaking people leaves broken people who break more people.

Note: I'm not saying punishments are a bad idea. But severity as the variable to tweak, that's demonstrably a dreadful plan.

Actually, it often seems like "the cloud" is more along the lines of DRM. It enables software providers to guarantee payment, it often guarantees for vendors the ability to totally cut service whenever they want to. To absolutely guarantee nobody can touch their software except through them, so customer's can't automate anything without going through (and paying) the authors.

Secure computing, but in the way that's always been done: secure from the customer. Not secure for the customer.
Writing a Pathtracer in Lua, Week 1
[note: I'm writing this from the perspective of Moscow and Russia 10 years ago] Basically, Moscow has (had?) everything that op mentioned - cheap gas, cheap (and fast) Internet, relatively cheap and quality medicine, huge variety of food delivery (very fast and quite cheap), etc. On top of that Moscow has an incredible subway system, multiple car sharing options, it is clean and relatively safe. I've traveled a lot and lived in multiple countries during my life, and the services they had in Moscow were better than i.e. in Germany or Singapore. Having said that I don't miss Moscow a little bit. Everything comes with a cost and the price of living standards in Moscow is being paid by the rest of Russia.

What is his track record so far with being right?
If you're treating cloud as a sort of 1:1 replacement of hardware infrastructure, then what you're saying makes sense.

But we don't ever "patch the OS." Our cloud provider does that for us. Upgrades and patching are automatic within the maintenance window. We deploy containers, the OS is just a platform layer that the cloud provider manages.

As for needing "more or less the same amount of people", that simply isn't true IME. I've seen startups with whole teams devoted to running systems in a datacenter, whereas cloud-based startups will often have one or two guys, possibly even part-time, dealing with their cloud requirements.

At larger companies, it can be harder to make this comparison, since you'll typically have a mixture of cloud and onprem. But if you look at teams with products deployed in the cloud, they'll often have much more frequent deployment, with better automation, and much less dependence on the always overcommitted infrastructure team(s).

> Every data center I worked with offers on-site remote hands that will rack new servers or replace hard drives or PSUs for you.

That's not very compatible with infrastructure as code. You're essentially saying "keep doing things the old inefficient way, it's not really that bad."

There are all sorts of failure scenarios that a managed cloud system can cover from completely automatically within minutes, that would require frantic calls to remote hands in the old world. And even when recovery isn't automatic, it may still require nothing more than some pointing and clicking to recover.

> instead of Cisco IOS commands, they now need to deal with AWS transit gateway.

> This need to be done by a network engineer, usually the same person that would manage VPCs.

These aren't comparable at all. Unless a company has some sort of very special networking requirements, they can set up VPCs with some pointing and clicking in the cloud provider's web UI. This is a far cry from the level of knowledge required to manage networks at the hardware level.
