In theory correct because large sums of money wired out of an account can be subject to holds for any number of reasons.

But it’s the same with banks too. The only difference is there is one fewer party in the transaction to trace (whereas Fidelity has to work with UMB which is their bank partner).

But the probability of a hold is the same, which is usually very low. I’ve been with Fidelity for over a decade now and have never had large transactions held.
This smells a bit fishy. If you make $100.000 from mining for 3 weeks with $1.500 in power, then the power costs are almost insignificant.

With about 500 hours in those 3 weeks, every hour you don't mine is $200, so if unhooking and restarting your mining equipment takes 4 hours one way, you've lost money after moving it back and forth.

It's unlikely that any AirBNB has enough power and cooling to make any meaningful amount of money mining there.
The (unit) tests developers write themselves check the developer did what they intended to, and then that things don't change. Whatever case analysis the developer missed in the implementation tends to be missing from their tests as well, as they didn't think of it.

Testing your own work also does nothing to protect against correctly implementing the wrong thing.
For a German investor that's not a good option for two reasons:

1. Buying US dollar money market funds will add a whole level of currency risks which you might not want.

2. Using a foreign broker is a tax nightmare in Germany.

Apart from that the German broker market is highly competitive with multiple choices where you can buy European money market funds basically for free.

This story is unbelievable. The power costs versus profit make no sense, and if you had 10 magical supercomputers that could mine $100,000 of crypto against a $1,500 power investment, you surely wouldn't waste your time moving them around - or get the proper cooling setup in a random Airbnb, over and over.
Wow, and that's before plugins.

I remember being so frustrated with a Mac because of the animations. It would take like a full half second to maximize etc. I tried disabling them but then it would just do a cross fade or something and still be unresponsive when I tried to type/click on the focused window.

That plus cmd+space doing nbsp and Ruby (required by our IaC framework at the time) treating such differently than other whitespace was the end of my experiment, back to Linux lol

I recall reports of cases like this nearly every day at AWS, and that was a decade ago.

It wasn't unusual, for first-time victims at least, that we'd a) waive the fees and b) schedule a solution architect to talk them through using signed URLs or some other mitigation. I have no visibility into current practice either at AWS or GCP but I'd encourage OP to seek billing relief nevertheless, it can't hurt to ask. Sustainable customer growth is the public cloud business model, of which billing surprises are the antithesis.

Grid template areas is very similar to traditional print layouts that are constrained with both a width and height. If you need something like grid-auto rows it is less useful.

But what’s nice about it is that, if you want them, grid areas are extremely declarative. With non-area templating, you are defining the layout based on the items, and that can be challenging.
Yep! Still keep in touch.

> Apple and the publishers had worked out an agreement to raise the price of ebooks to be closer to that of new releases to counter the monopolistic cheap-to-the-point-of-failing-authors approach from Amazon.

Thats called anti-competive behavior to raise prices.

Price dumping isn't a thing. Its basically not illegal, and is instead something that the US government, and its population, want to encourage.

I am sure that there are some outdated economics textbooks that put out this hypothetical of the extremely rare "bad kind" of price dumping, and one or 2 long irrelevant court cases. But these days, its basically not a bad thing.

Complaints about price dumping are almost never done in good faith. Instead, they are done by monopolistic entities that want to screw over customers by illegally coordinating price increases.

> Basically, that decision by the government was wrong, and we’re all suffering for it.

I am going to say that the monopolistic group of sellers who were trying to raise prices was wrong. And the law supports me.

> But if you want it to be zero, start taking on the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch monopolies, too as they charge as much and sometimes more.

Or, instead of that, we can use the government to force it to be zero in whatever ways that we can, even if we don't effect other markets.

Those other markets, while maybe deserving of some scrutiny, are smaller than the smartphone market. Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable to care about the much larger and more important market, and to make those fees 0.

Simple Way How to Get Managed Kubernetes with Talos Linux and Cozystack
I'm one of those people and paying for the news is like paying for the word on the street. It'll reach you eventually.

You're actually paying for their articles, which they write and angle so that you should feel like you get some value for your money.

So I guess you can conclude by saying, paying for anything makes it profitable to someone, which also makes it exploitable to squeeze more profits out of the consumer.

I'm more ok with paying for a low quality toolbox than a low quality thought.
How much effort they went into selecting that particular set of bits is of no consequence to the state afterward. If someone made a million dollar machine that lights a flame, it does not make subsequent flames lit from the original flame any more valuable. Same goes for air or water, which are all deadly important, but as they are also virtually infinite in supply, they have no cost. Nestle is of course trying to change that with water.

I don't owe artists any royalties just because they say so. If they demand a kiss they won't get it either. I won't be bound by arbitrary restrictions around the physical matter in my possession.
(Disclaimer, I'm working for Google)
In my opinion this is a great question. I believe you can go two ways:

1) Get your hands on few physical computers and "old" gpus (like nVidia 1000 series or something like that). Put them as part of a K8S cluster and you have an amazing setup to play around with. Try to squeeze as much flops from your hardware as you can. Bonus points if you also architect around failures and test that by pulling off network cables.

2) Using some Cloud provider use preemptible/spot instances with a bunch of GPUs for few hours at the time. Not sure with other clouds, but with GCP you can create a GKE nodepool that only uses spot instances and in conjuction with cluster autoscaler makes what I described very easy and you don't really have to clean much after you're done messing around for the day. GPUs like K80, T4, or P4s are relatively cheap and, if you use them for just 10s of hours a month, you can get away with a bill of 10s of dollars [1].

Either option works fine (IMHO).

Another option I am unsure about because I never tried it is to use something like [2] to multiplex your GPU(s) so that you can pretend you have more GPUs to mess around with. However, if your goal is to learn how to manage/write software for multi-gpus/multi-machine clusters this is somewhat limiting because 1) it doesn't teach you much about data locality/compact placement since transfers between virtual GPUs will be extremely fast (i.e. they are sharing the same VRAM pool after all) and 2) you will still have a single machine (even if you are using multiple virtual K8s nodes).

[1] 3 instances with 4 GPUs each used for 24h in a month cost you 46$ according to: https://cloud.google.com/products/calculator/?hl=en&dl=CiRhY...

> £100

If you have £100 then go eat a sammich :)

If you have £100k then it is worth 'spreading' it in various assets, including what the article talks about.

There is also a 'recognised practice' that slowly/over time you move some of your stocks/indexes/etc. positions into bonds as you grow older/getting close to pension. Unless you got enough ££££ in the bank and you plan to leave your portfolio as inheritance, in which case leave it where it is.
I had to do a similar thing a decade ago when someone started scraping my site by brute force. At the time I was using CoralCDN already, but my server was getting hammered, so I just started serving up assets with hashed URLs and changing the key every 24h--their scraper was dumb enough to not start again from scratch.

I ended up using the exact same code for sharding, and later to move to a static site with Azure Storage (which lets me use SAS tokens for timed expiry if I want to).
It's to hard and to expensive.
> Problem is, this "need" for big platforms is entirely a matter of faith. It's like your "need" for supernatural bed-time stories that explain human suffering and make you feel cozy; they're just tall tales. You're taking this practice entirely on their word, your "proof" that this system works is a backwards understanding of determinism. The only realistic, grounded worldview is to conclude that we don't need fairytales, and that we repeat them as an axiomatic comfort and not a truth.

> Freedom of speech and press are principles that are in the first amendment but also exist independent of it, and are older than the US

The constitution was written by the same people who brought you the Alien and Sedition Acts. It’s rather clear that we take the document much, much more seriously than its authorsever did (for whom it was mainly just a collection of nice sounding principles and vague guidelines).

Not much changed in the next 100 years. The Sedition Act of 1918 was not struck down as unconstitutional. Something like that would be inconceivable these days.

The current interpretation of the first amendment is pretty modern and “freedom of speech” in the way we understand it at least is not something that ever existed on a large scale at any point in the past.

> We should strive to have those values enforced everywhere, not just in the government - but especially at large companies

How? Do large corporations, their employees, CEOs etc. lose their rights to freedom of speech themselves when their organization surpasses a specific revenue limit?

To extend on this, while abstract interpretation may sound a bit "abstract" (pun not intended), it is the basis for many techniques for software verification and compiler optimizations. At its core it basically allows you to soundly approximate the set of reachable states in a program, which in turn can be used to check that no "bad" state can be reached (for software verification) or that e.g. some checks are useless and can be removed (for compiler optimizations). Other applications include the new borrow checker for the Rust programming language, which is built on various dataflow passes to determine at each program point which variable is "live" and/or "borrowed".
The AI was never good, but before Rome II it seemed like it either got a little better with each iteration, or at least, the parts that got worse had to do with incorporating new mechanics (Empire's AI was terrible, but it was pretty obviously because trying to jump from armies with swords and arrows to those with muskets and cannon was a big change).

Outside of the navel stuff, Rome II's combat wasn't wildly different from Rome I, Shogun, Medieval, etc. This made it kinda jarring what a step backwards it ended up being.

I think you could make the piece more interesting to the casual reader by grounding the subject in its history. It's been suggested by the book below that the dominance of equal temperament in western music is a relatively recent innovation, something like 120 years old, and is perhaps a consequence of the industrial revolution and the demand for mass manufacture of musical instruments having uniform qualities it produced.

Further reading: How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why You Should Care), by Ross W. Duffin (2008).

My layman's takeaway from the book: Equal Temperament is a compromise tuning that allows a piano to access all major and minor modes, at the cost of the keys on the outer ring of the circle of fifths to be somewhat out of tune. An ET "C Major" "sounds best", and the further you move away from it in either direction, the worse the key sounds. Also, the fact that Beethoven and Mozart were aiming for just intonation and/or meantone in productions of their works seems to be sort of an inside secret among music maestros, with rigid adherence to equal temperament slyly pushed on competing rookies to keep them trapped in the lower ranks by virtue of their resulting weaker performances. But the subject is highly contentious in western music for sure.
