> Just emailed the CEO of Broadcom and got his OoO: “Thank you for your email. The exorbitant price increases are due to inflation and macroeconomic conditions. Also, the taxes on my mansion in Cabo are sky high!”

Not that VMWare customers aren't faced with challenging circumstances...
Do you have information not in the link? I don't see anything related to your comment.

> This is basically a polite way to fire a customer.

I'll throw out that raising the price like this is also a strategy to increase profit. In the absence of a source for your claim, I'll go with that instead.

> Is that $8m worth it if in aggregate you spending an equal amount of time on that account as you are on a $20-30m account?

If that's how these decisions are made, the person making them needs to be fired, and fast. They should have considered that they could handle both accounts. Increasing the number of customers is called expansion.
This seems to be a renegotiation occuring at renewal time.
They are planning to build factories in Mexico from what I have read so once those factories are up and running. I expect not before that as direct chinese imports have many tariffs. With the noise starting to come out of US politicians about chinese spying using its electric cars it looks like US car makers and politicians are slowly waking up to the fact that by trying to follow and copy tesla they have been blindsided by cheap chinese ev car manufacturers
This is really nice. I think you should you clarify in the app if the 2GB on the paid plan are per day.
> If you're work PC forces you to reboot "right now", that's a corporate policy or some shitty "endpoint protection" tool.

Or they just know their users.

At our company,the policy is set up to request reboot during the next 30 days (so basically till the next patch Tuesday). Who complains the most about updates all the time or every day? Those, who didn't bother to reboot during the last 30 days.

So at some point, you have to force it.
Rage where?
Regardless of what may have happened historically (and your claims are dubious, as others have pointed out), it really doesn’t make sense to suggest that the average person is capable of the degree of consent necessary for a long term relationship in their teens.

It’s one thing to acknowledge that we begin to develop a sense of sexuality and gender identity in our teenage or even preteen years, and to foster acceptance of that identity. It’s another matter entirely to suggest that this identity coincides with maturity and ability to consent. At that age, we’re still developing our sense of self and don’t fully understand the various components of intimacy, including consent.

It’s the difference between sex-positivity and sexualization. For whatever reason, our society seems to have a hard time understanding the difference beyond a few well-established scenarios. We understand that it’s healthy for parents to discuss sex and gender with their children: “use a condom,” “understand and respect that others may have different preferences than you, and that’s okay—likewise, you don’t need to follow the crowd,” “consent while intoxicated isn’t consent.” We also understand that it’s not healthy for parents to be actively encouraging their teens to get married.

But we seem to have trouble extrapolating that line into technology: is it okay for parents to be running these accounts? Are the children they represent capable of consenting to these images being published? Do we care that some of the consumers of these images are treating them as sexual? If there’s a likelihood that the images will be sexualized by some subset of the audience, is that a good reason to avoid posting them, and, if so, where is that line?
Unfortunately I think they won't learn. What most of them will do is to click the next banner that shows "We detected a Virus on your computer. Please click here to fix this.", but they will will absolutely refuse to click on that popup in Windows that tells them to update, because Microsoft is the ultimate evil that can't be trusted.
That's what I don't get either. If they can shove off one of their top 1500 customers (probably much higher) and, as someone put it, "everyone is using them", that means unless you're one of the top few hundred customers, this can absolutely happen to you. Which is what people are upset about.
On the impossibility of composing finalizers and FFI
You can't really "build" VMware though. It's a proprietary hypervisor and ecosystem of interoperable products with tons of hardware vendor drivers. Building on KVM or even a new hypervisor would not get you 'VMware"
Word of caution for people trying to activate this outside the supported regions: it does not work, it just stays stuck at “Activating” state on iOS with no way to remove the eSIM.
I wish the prices were even remotely competitive, every time I check and compare, it's always _significantly cheaper_ to just get a SIM locally.

I just checked Morocco, and it's $31.50 for 5GB. I think I paid 7$ for 20GB or something.

Then again, I have a phone with a regular SIM card. Maybe the prices are comparable if you have a new iPhone with no regular SIM slot and are forced to use an eSIM. In my mind, eSims should be cheaper, since there's no physical component there, but somehow that doesn't seem to be the case.
This is only one approach, but it is a good one.

The options are even greater if it's fixed-point rather than floating.
Great writing!

Except with net zero you could just snoop the communications during login between your modem and the host, grab your login and password, then forget about net zeros software, redial the host with your own terminal program, paste in your credentials and boom you were online with no ads to watch :)
Correct but as I said originally. The only deaths were during the major winter storm. I appreciate facts not made up narratives like the GP.
> Helps to own your own business or at least work remotely.

I wonder how many ADHDers learnt this during COVID. It may have been the first opportunity for some to experience this and perhaps realise that they can work more effectively in a different environment (which they have more control over).
Aws pricing is listed though, you know what you're being charged. VMware is conversation based though isn't it.
Lost the bigger picture? You can do a lot of things under very low wattages cf with intel cpu. Still feel hot using i9 apple notebook from 2019. I carried when travel in the unlikely case some app does not work. It is in my bag last 5 weeks. Just use my m2 air.

I knew and know I have and will save energy. It is not hot.
It can be an advantage; it certainly isn't so at all times.

But you're right that most of the disadvantages stem from other people, and aren't inherent. It's more than a bit annoying.
There is also Ubigi - http://ubigi.me

They are becoming a dime a dozen. Increasingly I find you can download the carrier apps ahead of time directly and keep 3-4 esims around indefinitely.

I get sufficient data for about $5/mo in just about all Asian countries this way. Most of the airports, even tiny ones, have wifi now - and it takes <5 minutes to set this up. The folks at the airport try to sell you overpriced tourist packages (or in Vietnam sometimes its a sim that fell off the back of a truck, they clone 'em) but you can just insist on an esim or wait until you're in town.

Google FI also lets you pause service for 3 months, so I turn it on for 1 day here and there and the credits roll over. I might get rid of it but it's a good backup at a known flat rate ($10/GB).
Clean, sensible, introverted living is overrated.

There's something deeply human in the whole 'awkward dance'. Not everyone is born a great dancer, but this doesn't mean that dancing is a stupid and pointless activity.

People have been trading with one another (and often tricking or getting tricked in the process) for millennia. The 'Grand Bazaar' you evoke stands for something timeless — a promise of wealth earned with wit. In a twisted way, our American love for capitalism and these sleazy dealerships are chasing the same ancient dream.

May as well be a part of it.
I did that when I purchased my used Toyota a few years ago. I told the dealer to hold the car until I could get a bank check issued by my credit union (no physical branches in my state so I had to call during business hours) and he said I could drive off that day. I was surprised but he just printed a temporary registration and a week later I drove by to finalize the paperwork after the check arrived.

It was a small dealership started by some ex-Microsoft guys and I was working at Microsoft at the time which might have had something to do with it, but it wasn’t like they verified my employment or anything. I assume they felt safe doing that considering the alternative would have been a career ending grand theft auto charge.
Per day sounds attractive if you’re somewhere for 3 days and don’t want to pay for a month
I don't think this is really the issue at play here. Rather the engineers wanting to work with Kubernetes, cloud, and other stuff that's hyped, instead of a boring solution that works.
In the UK last time somebody tried the hard sell with me was around 2012. I was in a Mazda dealership for a £20K car (~$25K USD today), after 45 minutes of pressure I told them if they weren't going to give me what I'd asked (a more than fair quote for my old car) I'd buy elsewhere.

A day later I bought a better equipped Hyundai for the same price and a decent trade in.
2 days after that I get a call from the Mazda dealer asking was I still interested and they could work a better deal.

I had great pleasure in telling them I bought the Hyundai, best decision I ever made as it turned out the Mazda model I was interested in had windshield stress design defects causing them to crack and issues with the gearbox.

I still have the Hyundai and it's survived 2 accidents from people driving into me :D
I know which one you mean, as I'm sure we all do, but it always amuses me that we refer to her as just 'Cleopatra' because... basically every queen of Egypt in that dynasty was named Cleopatra. They named the vast majority of the boys Ptolemy and the girls Cleopatra. Her mother's name is Cleopatra V Tryphaena. Her daughters name is Cleopatra Selene II. Her Fathers name is Ptolemy XII, she has brothers named Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, one of her sons is named Ptolemy.

It should be the least useful mononym possible, but its totally not. Its perfectly understood.
The other one I've seen in use is a rescue buoy/floater that's also a remote controlled boat. They have quite a bit of power and can get past the waves and to a person extremely quickly.
It is not safe. Few years ago (around ~2016-17), there was that Nvidia driver update, that killed Xorg during the process. Yes, I was running the update in the gnome-terminal, and it didn't end up well, I spent next few hours piecing the system together from a live usb.

For next few years, I was running updates inside screen, just to be sure.
Thank God my cantankerous old uncle was the one who taught me how to buy a car and get the OTD price and then the best price, and not my parents. Basically, he taught me to just say 'no' to almost everything, and get up and walk out if they're jerking you around. My parents are wonderful people, but they're just too polite to do something like that, and too trusting of authority figures (car salespeople like to project that they are the ones that are experts at all things involving automobiles).
Somehow, I suspect, people who can't afford houses now will still somehow be fucked. Not sure how but still.
So, three vertical farms, of which one was, propably, profitable. That revolutionizes everything!
> Do you have information not in the link

I do this for a living, first as a PM and now as a VC. These multiples are fairly common knowledge for anyone in Enterprise SaaS, and have have worked with accounts teams that have done this and have recommended similar strategies (at a smaller scale) to portfolio companies.

> the person making them needs to be fired, and fast. They should have considered that they could handle both accounts. Increasing the number of customers is called expansion.

I can expand the # of customers by selling 1,000 $1 contracts - that doesn't materially impact my company's financials.

You want to increase your (Revenue-COGS).

If you need to drop a needy customer to increase COGS because you have mistiered accounts caused by an account team targeting a hefty quarterly bonus (happens everywhere, and caused a big shitshow at a major cybersecurity startup recently that brought a federal investigation) so be it.
The inverse is true as well, not having ADHD can be a disadvantage, especially for developers.

(trying to stay focused on a long task or figure something out quickly skimming through things)
Airalo has decently cheap eSIMs, at least for the US (much cheaper than buying from the big telcos), and a part of the appeal is not having to hassle through buying and installing a chip.

I can buy the Airalo eSIM before boarding the plane and have it readily loaded when the plane lands.
Isn't virtual box free and open source?
Apple has fostered an incredibly fanatic userbase.

Most of them unironically call themselves "apple users".

They don't use a device, they've made the device part of their identity, and even implying that it's not the best thing ever created consequently becomes a personal insult.

Google and Microsoft tried to replicate that kind of brand love but were thankfully unsuccessful for the most part, so you'll always get an incredible amount of comments on anything related to Apple.
* ADHD doesn't mean you can hop from X to Y to Z superfast/efficiently while remembering anything meaningful.

* Hyperfocus isn't a spell you can cast at whatever task at hand. It happens only when you're really into a given topic... And ADHD tends to push you to procrastinate on things you like a lot: you end-up in hyper-procrastination mode.

Above points can be used to your advantage with great benefit, but it's not automatic. Some people with ADHD compensate intuitively and do impressive stuff, others need medication just to get out of bed. Both of these extremes can be the same person at different times.
For 100M $ you can buy Proxmox, start advertising, scoop up all the lower end VMware customers and fill in the feature gaps according to customer demand over time.
> Those who can do that naturally become developers.

No. Those who can do that become multi millionaires/billionaires. Developers get stuck on the local minima of programming.
And 100M is only 135 customers...
-1 for Airalo - I've had an awful experience with their support.

Through what was definitely a configuration error on their end, my eSIM stopped working after I added more data to my plan. So for a week, I went from WiFi to WiFi in contact with their support, while they kept asking the same questions over and over again. Is roaming on? Yes. Have you entered the correct APN? Yes. Have you tried all providers? Yes. Is roaming on? Yes ...

Eventually I called for a refund and they denied it because, despite not ever loading a single website successfully on the new plan, I had apparently consumed ~10KB.

I saw some Reddit users reporting similar issues with their support. So if you run into issues, I would recommend calling for a refund immediately rather than trying to get it fixed.

There are more than enough similar providers. I switched to getnomad.app after that.

Good salespeople excel at character judgement. They were confident that you are not the type that steals cars. But like the author says, by doing the entire transaction over email instead of in-person, you take a big part of their advantage away.
Cheap for first world wages.
> The margins on support might not make sense.

Yeah, maybe. Without some real figures this is very speculative

> TAMs, CSMs, constant PFRs, constant escalations, etc

You seem to be assuming the customer takes up man-weeks or months of support and legal, not particularly typical for a repeat customer in that game - not sure how else you could account for the margin on $8m being completely eaten up

So... speculative and unconvincing
South Africa also lots of beef consumption! Mince on toast for breakfast was something I could never bring myself to try.
If that's right, then it follows that giving medication to suppress it is a bad idea for humanity as a whole. Although it may help an individual cope better with a local situation, it would be better to have more situations in which an individual with ADHD can thrive.

Until EU understand that the only weak spot of Big Tech is to enforce very simple and stable in time protocols/file formats for interop (client and server), they don't stand a chance against big tech planned obsolescence and control.

And of course, EU has to use ONLY those.
> it's always _significantly cheaper_ to just get a SIM locally.

I have the feeling that this will forever be true.
Local SIM usually expect that people don't use their whole quota, while eSIM will
Extreme poverty vs plain vanilla poverty? That's funny.

You're falling for the ruse. Funny how the First World all but abandobed the rest of the (impoverish) world until it needs that head count to pat itself on the back and sell the ruse

Thank you for proving my point.

Regardless, the question remains: why so much poverty in so many places? *Especially* in the First World?

"Smile and be happy you pathetically poor, you're slightly less pathetic than before"

Do you not sense how insensitive and in-a-bubble that sounds?? Certainly, we can do better. Certainly, we shouldn't be bragging about that is still a massive loss to so many.
It's not that simple. I mostly got rid of my ADD and haven't noticed any disadvantages beyond learned behaviours that are not productive anymore. You definitely don't need ADHD to keep up with information - for me it's easier without. I can jump between topics, but can also choose not to - that was not an option before.

The occasional hyperfocus is not necessarily helpful either - hours of sleep sacrificed to continue doing something fun are not a great outcome.
You can learn how to hack your stubborn brain and take advantage of the waves of motivation.

Stimulates are a instant gratification solution, but man take those all the time and you will be pretty damn irritable and mentally tired after awhile.

It's natural for "ADHD" people to work in waves. Long sprints and rest in between. I know it's popular to advocate drugging yourself, but people reach for that too quickly.

Society is the problem, not them.
From Donella Meadows [1]:

PLACES TO INTERVENE IN A SYSTEM
(in increasing order of effectiveness)

9. Constants, parameters, numbers (subsidies, taxes, standards).

8. Regulating negative feedback loops.

7. Driving positive feedback loops.

6. Material flows and nodes of material intersection.

5. Information flows.

4. The rules of the system (incentives, punishments, constraints).

3. The distribution of power over the rules of the system.

2. The goals of the system.

1. The mindset or paradigm out of which the system — its goals, power structure, rules, its culture — arises.

Regarding point 2: What is the goal of the current system?

>if you have a horrifically non-linear system you still want good performance on

Even in that case PID is often the answer. Only that you vary the P, I, and D factors. It's called gain-scheduling [1]. You linearize your non-linearities at multiple points, and change your PID parameters to match.

Of course non-linearity is a very broad concept. So this may or may not apply to your non-linear system. The class of linear systems is easily described. The class of non-linear systems is everything else.

I mean, VMWare customers were warned about this ever since the deal got announced. This is literally the Broadcom strategy for the last decade at least: Buy vendor with lockin, cut non-core features, raise prices and squeeze the customers who are in too deep.

Broadcom goes into these deals knowing it will hemorrhage a lot of customers and they don't care, they know they can make it up on those who are forced to stay. They don't care about reputation at all.
Yes. My point is, without some baseline, some constant in the present, it seems silly to run around making proclamations about early humans.
Sorry, but when discussing the article, I assume the context of the article.

Context of the article is "I use Raspberry Pis around my home as everything". I don't really care about industrial anything in that context, nor 10k+ unit scale. And nobody sane does/should. At home/hobby I'm optimizing for very different things.

It's interesting if someone adds to the discussion that things predictably fail at 10k+ scale, but completely irrelevant. It's like people who read backblaze stats to go buy 2 disks from the same batch to put in raid1. That those disk mdoels fail at 2x lower rate at scale than other models is completely irrelevant to their data safety.
