Just to clarify, AWS lets you provision bare-metal too if your goal is to just rent hardware someone else is maintaining. And things like trivially distributing load and storage across multiple datacenters/regions is another big bonus for us.

I tried this exact setup with a combination of Ubiquiti and pihole config. It is really unmaintainable and I missed a verification / audit layer, especially for verifying that the Chinese grass/vacuum robots didn’t leak data, etc.

I interpreted the GP comment very differently. I took it to just mean that “we” as “humanity as a whole” have constructed the no privacy world we inhabit. Which seems quite true. I don’t get any sense of casting blame on individuals for lacking the technical acumen to secure their own data. I absolutely agree with your sentiment though.

More to the point the article goes on at length about why traceroute is a bad tool, but it doesn't offer any alternatives. Sure traceroute has issues and it can lead you astray if you don't understand what it is doing, but there isn't anything better. As the article points out the "proper" traceroute from the RFC was never implemented. Some of the other complaints like if you traceroute too much it might bog down the CPU on the routers seems just petty.

About all the article can say is that you'll probably just find out that the problem is in some other network and fixing other people's networks is impossible so don't even try, which is a depressingly defeatist attitude.

When they suggest you pin your dependencies, they don't just mean your direct dependencies, but rather all transitive dependencies. You can take this further by having a lock file that account for different Python versions, operating systems, and CPI architectures – for instance , by using UV or Poetry – but a simple `pip freeze` is often sufficient.
The case for a drug with this behaviour (acquired life long burden) being regulated price, would be high. It's already capable of being synthesised by compounding pharmacists so I think we're beyond arguing Novo nordisk and the others are vital for production purposes. It's all about IPR and longterm drug development motivations.

If we accept some corporate lawfare, the other side of it, Indian pharma would be making this fo 10c per patient per dose.

IPR is hard. So many reasons not to override, such a compelling story to revisit why we privatise drug research.

(I skimmed the paper. It says we need to be mindful not to overstate the upsides per patient, medically, economically or socially, and that avoided socialised costs at scale here remain conjectural. That said, I still believe they exist)

I have quite a few German friends who looking back speak highly of their experience doing the civilian alternative service (they objected to military service). This was before the conscription was abolished in 2011.
Even though it was not military service, it put them in situation and workplaces that were different from their own experience and environment.

Similarly, in France some engineering schools required an internship in a factory to learn the perspective of blue-collar workers that the student might eventually manage but at 8 weeks only I don't think it gives as much perspective as what my German friends had.

> Your whole argument boils down to "don't write shit software" (...)

No. My whole argument is open your eyes, and look at what you're doing. Make it make sense.

Does it make sense to launch 50 instances locally to be able do work on a service? No. That's a stupid way of going about a problem.

What would make sense? Launch the services you need to change, of course. Whatever you need to debug, that's what you need to run locally. Everything else you consume it from a cloud environment that's up and running.

That's it. Simple.

If there's something preventing you from doing just that then that's an artiicifal constraint that you created for yourself, and thus that you need to fix. We're talking about things like auth. Once you fix that, go back to square one.
>Man, I'm really sick of the robotic culture of tech. It's such a stuffy bummer.

HN is like this too unfortunately. Anything slightly out of the high brow sanitized tech groupthink gets downvoted or flagged even if it doesn't break the rules.

It's mostly people who think the world must be a certain sanitized way and if you tell them the reality is otherwise they must suppress you to preserve their world view which they see as being the ritcheous one.

People are too sensitive and act on their feelings and emotions instead of logic and critical thinking. Which is ironic considering how such people pretend to be liberal, educated and all about free speech and freedom of opinion but only as long as your opinion matches theirs.
Oh how I hate being right sometimes.

You seem to be an “I would…if not for…”. Those people never amount to anything. Try to be something else.
cloud was supposed to be the cheap one stop shop where sheer numbers make overall prices low. but instead, they priced themselves out of existence. slowly, but surely. when you can run any offered services on your own for cheaper, then you know their entire business model is based on entrapment and and vendor lock-in, making leaving them engineering impossibility.
Consoles used to operate on network effects and exclusivity deals. If you wanted to play halo with your friends, you had to get an xbox and vice versa. It's not clear how you fix that with antitrust.

I think PCs have won for gaming in this century simply because of their ability to multitask. The modern gamer has discord and twitch and like 10 other social media apps open. The viral nature of games is key to success. Many (the most successful?) games like minecraft start out as PC-exclusives due to the additional hurdles associated with distributing a console game.

Consoles tried to make a cash cow with subscription services, and succeeded for a while, but eventually the whole sub-industry of console gaming kind of lost its edge and croaked. There are hardly any exclusives, hardly any network effect so the unique selling point is gone.

It reminds me of how bell labs missed out on the mobile phone because it would not take advantage of their existing infrastructure. The more companies try to tighten their grip on a market, the more inevitable their failure to evolve in the long term.

If we are talking about printer companies, the more they build their business around restricting and selling ink cartiges, the less they will be able to adapt to new tech. When the next new thing rolls around (IDK printable holograms or something?) they will suffer because it won't mesh with their ossified business model

That advice comes from people with no other leverage other than the fact that they can remain in a (in a case like this one) miserable job indefinitely if needed…doesn’t sound like much in the way of leverage to me.

Better to have some other leverage, like real skill or financial independence.

RP2350 is using a hybrid of ARM and RISCV already. Also it's not really hard to use RISCV not as the main computing core but as a controller in the SoC. Because the area of RISCV cores are so small it's pretty common to put a dozen (16 to be specific) into a chip.

> Cloud providers can also over-provision

But they don't. AWS overprovisions only on T-type instances (T3,T4,T5). The rest of the instance types don't share cores or memory between tenants.

I know, I worked with the actual AWS hardware at Amazon :) AWS engineers have always been pretty paranoid about security, so they limit the hardware sharing between tenants as much as possible. For example, AWS had been strictly limiting hyperthreading and cache sharing even before the SPECTRE/Meltdown.

AWS doesn't actually charge any premium for the bare metal instance types (the ones with ".metal" in the name). They just cost a lot because they are usually subdivided into many individual VMs.

For example, c6g.metal is $2.1760 per hour, and c6g.16xlarge is the same $2.1760. c6g.4xlarge is $0.5440

> And lots of other more esoteric stuff.

Not really. They had some plans for more esoteric stuff, but anything more complicated than EC2 Spot does not really have a market demand.

Customers prefer stability. EC2 and other foundational services like EBS and VPC are carefully designed to stay stable if the AWS control plane malfunctions ("static stability").
Someone with background from from the US military (OK, Ryan McBeth) recently commented something along the lines of:

It seems logical that if either partner has to stop working for childcare, whichever partner earns the most keeps their job, unfortunately that just creates a feedback loop where gender gap means women are more likely to tale on child care, which in turn is used to justify the gender gap.

This was hard fought because companies like microsoft controlled the major SMTP and HTTP clients, so they controlled the de-facto standard.

How many times does everyone who knows have to explain that it is illegal NOT to accept the documents. The more the law is enforced, the more such documents must be accepted.

There are conflicting valid problems, different problems that are both valid, but the solution to one inhibits the solution to the other, and the law as it stands favors preventing discrimination as being the higher priority over preventing illegal employment.

I doubt either you or I knows if that is even a wrong priority, because I can't say which is the bigger problem. I'll say I don't begrudge any immigrants getting jobs, whether they are technically illegal or not. They are human and until they actually commit theft or violence I don't get off on making them suffer.

Regardless, the problem is not enforcing the law. The law says you must accept the documents. There is no "diverted blame". If you find the prospect of the wrong person getting a job so outrageous, the "blame" is on the government for making it easy to fabricate their documents. The various documents that the law says you must accept, should not be so easy to fake up, and there should probably be some office that accepts these documents and vets them instead of just telling employers to file them and never looking at them.

Humans aren't a cohesive team acting with a common goal, so we do a lot of things to other humans that would be crazy if those other humans counted as "ourselves" and we were a team, such as trade sanctions, closed borders, chemical warfare, resource competition, Coldplay, and of course greenhouse gas emissions. But we've never been a team, and it's an implausible expectation.
