Nearly everything business you listed is about selling a high volume of products and services with relatively low marginal cost of production or distribution. That's true for food, books, movies, and compute. The robots are clearly related to warehouse automation.

Amazon sells very few things that cost as much as a car, and when they do, they don't manufacture them, because each transaction carries a lot of risk and overhead.

That's not to say they'd never acquire them, but the lack of business alignment makes it seem less likely.
We actually moved away from containers for dev purposes for almost all of our apps, though many teams still use them. Mainly because they are a bad developer experience. We invested in making apps run consistently in a native way.

Bento was actually our first attempt at doing all of this on our local MacBooks. Many users found that their machine would slow to a crawl and heat up. M1 Macs and now OrbStack instead of Docker Desktop help reduce that. Moving off of docker helped as well. Ec2 gives us the consistent image that is easily testable and repeatable. Egress costs here are negligible.

We dont' keep the machine running all of the time. It stays up running during the users work hours (~8 hours) and then hibernates (the machine is off but memory persisted) which reduces EC2 costs (minus EBS) to zero. We detect activity on their laptop and then wake it when needed.
The reason why you don't see it is this. For most tasks a chatbot does it right a certain fraction of the time, say 80-90%. When it is "chatting" you can catch it and fix up the result, or maybe be seduced by it and accept a wrong answer.

In a sequence though, you have to get everything right. With an 80% success rate repeated 10 times you have a 10% success rate.

Pretty much anything which is not an indie game made with love.

Like, minmaxing in terraria is wayyyy less prevalent than minmaxing in minecraft, and that's a blatant difference in game design between both.

Of course, exceptions exist like factorio, which is a labour of love yet minmaxing is quite strong, but that's because that's one of the game's explicit goals.

however, in games like assassin's creed there shouldn't be too much place for minmaxing yet there is because the soulless decisions made by the developers.

The alternative to professional new outlets is not a free for all. It is to establish granular sources whose reputations hinge on their ability to give multiple sides and report known facts instead of conjecture.

NYT can't be held accountable, because they are 1000s of people under a big-tent; by-lines are hidden in small script. People like Derek Lowe, Stratchery, Sinocism and similar high-profile commentators/youtubers can be held accountable. If something goes wrong, it is their fault, and their fault only.

Youtube should embrace what its biggest strength is : granular individualized rewards. Individuals whose rigor outstrips that of major organizations should be promoted far more than traditional media houses. Afterall, they're what makes Youtube unique. If nerds playing geoguesser are better at satellite intelligence and triaging than NYT, then so be it. Geoguesser dude gets my trust.

Epic basically bought Bandcamp, hung out with it for a bit, then sold it to Songtradr who promptly shot it in the head as soon as Epic turned around.
I lost my house to foreclosure in 2008. I track the price according to Zillow and if memory serves, it dropped from roughly 600K to 520K. If we do have a correction will probably be on that order of magnitude. If the correction is much greater, a lot of people will thrown into poverty and onto the street. I suspect however there would be enough political will to make the banks take a haircut instead of everyone else.
What I’ve come to accept is that white collar crime “feels” distant to an average person. Even if some bank exec cooks up a way to steal a few dollars an account to the tune of millions or even if I’m phished $10k out out of my investment account, it doesn’t “feel” the same as knowing someone robbed my neighbor and pistol-butted them for a $1000 iPhone.

For those interested, the key takeaway from this IMO is that by issuing many sequential reads, the memory controller will hold a target row open for an extended amount of time to service the consecutive accesses.

This is in contrast to the original rowhammer attack, which issues accesses such that target rows are repeatedly opened and closed to trigger bitflips in neighboring rows.

By stretching out the row open time to 30ms (!), the authors claim they are able to reliably trigger bitflips with a single row opening in 13% of tested rows at 50°C[1]. Some rows in certain chips can be flipped with access times of under 10ms[2].

At more realistic row open times of 7.8 - 70us, there seems to be a 1/x relationship between row open time and number of activations required, they cumulative amount of time the row needs to be held open for to trigger a flip seems to remain fairly constant (around 50ms total from my very approximate estimations). Note that the attack needs to be executed in under 64 ms total, otherwise the automatic DRAM refresh will reset any progress made.

The authors demonstrate this attack with a userspace program that maps a 1 GB hugepage to be able to directly manipulate the lower 30 physical address bits[3], although they don't seem to provide the row open times they end up being able to achieve in practice.

The attack code itself: https://github.com/CMU-SAFARI/RowPress/blob/main/demonstrati...

Stupid question: why weren't the employees unionized before epic took over? From what I'm reading it seems like it would've been easy considering the corporate culture it had. I know, hindsight and all, but I guess my point is that I'm wondering if Epic did something that led to unionizing. It sucks since it looks like bandcamp was doing pretty ok and didn't need to be sold around.

I don't quite see how web development is relevant here; I think you've missed the point. Just because it's 'object storage' doesn't mean developers are reaching for React, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc. Object storage is a means to put huge volumes of data elsewhere besides your own hard disk/solid state drives, or a NAS running in the basement/attic; that's all. They are a means to access that data at extremely large scale, and can work with native or web apps.

More importantly, object storage need not even exist in the cloud at all; there exist solutions to set up S3 and S3-compatible storage on-premises.

There are plenty of examples of native programs leveraging object storage, whether in the cloud, or on-premises. Consider the latest release of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which streams high-quality assets (city/building 3D models, terrain, textures, weather data, real-time NPC air traffic, etc) in real-time as the user flies over the virtual Earth[1]. The competition has distinctly worse graphical fidelity, primarily because of storage concerns.

Scientific data—especially astrophysics and telescope data—tends to be hosted on blob/object storage (albeit not necessarily on S3) because of the immense data volume involved. These include including Hubble, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey (TESS), and the Kepler and K2 exoplanet missions.

Another great example of how the UK handles things differently in a way that shifts the filing burden off the taxpayer is charitable tax deductions.

In the US taxpayers track their charitable giving and use it to reduce their taxable income at filing time.

In the UK when you donate to a charity you attest to that charity that you are a UK taxpayer and that the donation is therefore gift aid eligible, and the charity just goes to the tax office and collects an extra 25% on top of the donation.

So in the US, say, you earn $150, pay $50 in tax withholding, then donate $100 to a charity, then claim the donation to the IRS to say you shouldn’t be taxed on $100 of your earnings, so you should only have paid $30 in taxes, and you claim back $20. You have $20, charity has $100, taxman has $30.

In the UK you earn £150, pay £50 in PAYE, then give £80 to a charity, keeping £20 and telling the charity they can giftaid it. Charity goes to the taxman and asks for another £20. End result, you have £20, charity has £100, taxman has £30.

Essentially the same outcome - charity donations are tax advantaged - but the paperwork for taxpayers is much simpler.

Why do you think that should be suspicious? Most open source software comes with multiple installation options: some faster ones if you only need to use it as is (installation script), some more flexible ones if you intend to modify it (build from source).

I once had a Google adwords campaign shut becuase I was advertising software for the Mac. The software only worked on a mac but I wasn't allowed to use Apple, Mac etc. as Google said they were trademarks. To be clear here, these words were used in context, eg. "Widget counting software for the Mac" not "Genuine Apple Software".

ISTR I appealed, and was turned down with no recourse. There was basically nothing I could do to advertise software just for the Mac.

The cfm from electric leaf blowers are so far off from commercial gas blowers that I'm not confident they'll ever reach parity. Plus if you use high end commercial blowers you'll find that their effectiveness is somewhat exponential, that tail end of the performance lets you move a dense wall of leaves where with an electric you might as well be blowing a brick wall (I own both kinds).
No yesterday, I just tried to spin up an old project using common crawl, which is hosted on AWS open data, seems like it's gotten quite popular since I lasted worked on it, and they're experiencing throttling from over usage, maybe even ddos (or just a really bad developer).

But seems to be a pretty common thing with stuff related to data and crawling. Everyone is cracking down on crawlers, adding paywalls, removing previously free APIs, so coming back to old projects in that domain seems to be impossible.

> then I would have to file much more complicated taxes and therefor get much less enjoyment from taxes being easy for personal income. Still by not doing so I am giving up tens of thousands of dollars a year.

For tens of thousands of dollars per year, surely some tax/company admin service exists that could offload the vast majority of the tedium from you, leaving you with perhaps 10-20 hours of effort/personal attention per year. Even if they take half of the $20+K savings as their fee, that leaves you with $10+K to put in your pocket for a little over a day of total effort. That's $500-$1000 or more per hour of effort (all tax-free).

That seems like a huge overlay for you.

I can tell you honestly that I am personally hoping for a crash, and that's in part because I work on real estate. Home prices are unsustainably high by such a margin that it's absolutely killed transaction volume. Sure, earnings per transaction will go down, but we desperately need an increase in volume.

Plus, I want housing to be affordable despite my economic incentives.

When I say that I don't see it happening, I just don't quite see all of the indicators just yet. If we start seeing a sharper increase in new listings coming on market, or new construction prices significantly dropping, then I'd certainly change my outlook.

Because this sets precedence, the following scenarios can produce material admissible in court:

- A state bans certain reproductive pills. An officer asks for all searches for the address of a certain pharmacy across state lines.

- Some measure of crime is up around the new housing development. An officer asks for searches for webcams around an address. There is no oversight when that address happens to be a mosque.

- Your DHCP lease grants an IP address that belonged to a real estate office plugging thousands of addresses in. The police department only asks for a few addresses, so it’s incorrigibly suspicious that you are the only IP who searched for all three addresses where a catalytic converter was stolen. You do not get the legal benefit of being able to see the exculpating history kept by the search giant.

The opposite is true in my experience. The stats are very clear but Europeans never seem to accept that maybe their perception is skewed, it's a weird form of nationalism.
