S3 storage costs are charged per GB month so 1 TB * .023 per GB / 730 hrs per month… should be 3 cents if the data was left in the bucket for an hour.[1]

However sounds like it was deleted almost right away. In that case the charge might be 0.03 / 60 if the data was around for a minute. Normally I would expect AWS to round this up to $0.01..

The TimedByteStorage value from the cost and usage report would be the ultimate determinant here.

Yes, I too can sing in my mind, but also I can hear the music. So sometimes, I sing a song in my head and it sounds great! But then I try to sing in real life, and since there's no music it's just my voice, and it doesn't sound that great.
Data has "gravity" -- as in, it holds you down to where your data is, and you have to spend money to move it just like you have to spend money to escape gravity.

If you don’t like Elon being rich, don’t buy a Tesla. Or use Facebook to make Zuckerberg rich.

They became rich because they built something valuable that a lot of people give them $$$ for. We the population made them rich.

> I find this to be a problem with agile, but not so much with Scrum.

I am seeing problems left and right. Mostly because people often copy the activities (they would often even call them rituals or ceremonies, as if to make it even more obvious that they are treating them as mysterious quasi-religious practices) without understanding what they are intended to achieve.

For example:

- Lots of daily scrums in which people go around the circle saying what they did yesterday and what they are going to do today. No sense of a common sprint goal, and no indication of collaboration in reaching it.
- Lots of sprint reviews that are just demos
- Lots of sprints without goals, that are just timeboxes to finish a certain number of tickets/stories
- Lots of teams that remain hierarchical, and instead of a real product owner have some kind of a middle manager (who might also assume scrum master responsibility, because he is manager)
- Lots of teams focusing on story points, velocity, and estimation
- Lots of teams that don't adapt previously formed plans to the emerging reality

And so on, and so forth.
Yes, this. Even if we assume that a degree is worthless for the sake of the argument, it's never "worthless" if you ever plan to migrate, from any country to any country really.

And degrees from Asian universities are often ranked lower or not accepted at all. I don't know what the situation is like for computer science, but my Indonesian ex had a six year university degree but that wasn't accepted in any Western countries for immigration or employment. Is there a good reason for that? I don't know – my expertise in veterinary science is basically zero, but the clinic where she worked didn't seem that different from Western clinics that I've seen, so I'm somewhat inclined to say "no".
Technologies to put on the Radar?
In your opinion what are the emerging technologies in the application development space that need to be kept under the radar? Exclude anything AI related as that is a very clear trend and would like to hear the community opinion about other trends
I guess you are agreeing with me then as I said "unless you build it yourself or manage to import from a country with lax laws."

The problem here is that "random punitive safety or emissions rules" is subjective and up for debate. That is what regulation and politics are for, nobody will ever 100% agree so compromises are made.

I suppose if this is the most important issue for someone, they could move to Japan and have their J70.
It is easy to eyeball divisions of 2 and 3 by hand, and get results with high degrees of accuracy. A division of 4 can be accomplished by dividing by 2 twice.

It is not easy to eyeball divisions of 5 by hand; you pretty much need to use a ruler for that to get results of tolerable accuracy.

But as mentioned in US you can get a much higher salary but you also will be tied down with medical insurance etc. and you need to build your own (and bigger) safety net.

Geronimo was an Apache war leader who fought against US and Mexican armies, fairly successfully, in the 1850s.

As it turned out, the Apaches were not a match for a much larger and more settled society, so eventually he was forced to surrender.

From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo

Geronimo was a military leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Ndendahe Apache people. From 1850 to 1886, Geronimo joined with members of three other Central Apache bands – the Tchihende, the Tsokanende (called Chiricahua by Americans) and the Nednhi – to carry out numerous raids, as well as fight against Mexican and U.S. military campaigns in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Sonora and in the southwestern American territories of New Mexico and Arizona.

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/08/07/for-most-...

The conditions improved because of Marx's teaching, without worker actions nothing would improve, it didn't happen out of capital owners' voluntary decision. It happened because of strikes and many were violently supressed. Just a few in USA: https://www.history.com/news/strikes-labor-movement

> Normal people see a rich guy and think "good for him, he worked hard, is smart and lucky"

Normal people are often hardworking (much more than capital owners) and sometimes smart as well. However to get rich, you must be lucky (usually you get born into wealth). Sometimes you need to be lucky just to get out of poverty.

I think majority doesn't care that their doctor is kinda rich and can go heli-skiing. They are angry that someone is so rich they can't even spend the money while his workers are struggling.

If you use sqlite as a standalone file format for an app that has user managed files then it is hard to avoid this confusion. Rollback journal mode creates a temporary file as well.

Also, a scheduled backup process might come along at any moment and non-atomically copy the database file and any -journal or -wal files.

Ideally, user visible files should survive copying at random points in time without corruption and without losing too much recent data.

Having read "How To Corrupt An SQLite Database File"[1], I'm still not quite sure how to achieve this.

[1] https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html
nope. since if the wal you are checkpointing isn't done yet, you just wait to "lock" and switch files until that operation is complete.

Checkpointing can be considered "lock free" since the operation will always eventually complete. How long it takes will depend on the wal file being checkpointed into the db but it'll eventually complete in some finite amount of time.

Because you know that any given checkpointing operation has to eventually complete, you can simply keep appending to the current "append" wal file and then tackle those changes when you finish the current checkpoint op (at which point the wal file you just finished checkpointing is free to take the appends).

Toll roads are about as fair as it gets. The alternative is spreading the cost over all (national) drivers.

I hate toll roads too when I encounter them, but making non-users pick up the tab for users is the actual highway robbery.

As someone that went to college in the US and lives in Berlin:

How likely is it that you can secure a high earning job in the US after you graduate? There are plenty of developers in the US not getting FAANG money/benefits.

Unless you need to speak German for your job, you can very easily get by here without it (not saying you should). The only time you will notice uni degrees is when wondering why the working students are 10 years older than you. There are plenty of people here (and the US) that get jobs after completing coding bootcamps.

You CAN, but of course that's not what AWS steers you to.

Once your org has gotten to that step, it's been so steered by AWS staff it's hard to imagine suddenly finding sense and building with open standard stuff.

American students like going to school with people from different countries, and many undergraduate applicants look for a geographically diverse student body when choosing a school. Exceptionally good students also provide benefits to everyone around them if they take up teaching assistant or club leadership positions on campus. Alumni might give more money to their alma mater if advertising shows that the university has a “global perspective.”

It’s kind of like universities spending hundreds of millions of dollars on fitness or sports centers. The funding doesn’t make sense on paper, but students and alumni who donate money want schools to have them anyway.

I don’t t suspect it’s a technical issue at all, it’s economic.

Trucking and truck routes do have a strong incentive to switch eventually. But the examples given of Cruise and Waymo are losing tons of money.

Trucking companies would need to rework their business model around these hubs. So they won’t invest in this yet, not until it’s closer.

And for parties trying to make self driving work, it makes sense to try it on smaller, less expensive vehicles first. It’s the number of miles driven that drives learning rates, and if your cost per mile driven is lower, you get more learning per dollar.

And achieving true autonomy also needs a variety of scenarios, not just freeway. So being freeway only isn’t quite the advantage you would want. A million miles of city and highway driving helps you learn more than a million miles of highway driving. I think regulators know this intuitively too, and are more prone to approve.
