> Sure, we could use physical boxes. But those will go to procurement. The budget will have to be approved. Orders are sent to suppliers. Hardware arrives, it is a colo is not so bad, but it will be installed according to the colo timelines.

"Cloud as a workaround for internal corporate dysfunction" is certainly a novel argument for cloud. I'm aware of the OpEx vs CapEx issues at a lot of companies, I just happen to think it's a really stupid reason to spend a lot more money than you otherwise would for some set of capabilities.

> You also need to measure apples to apples. You 'disk measured in TB' is a locally attached disk almost certainly. In the cloud, that's likely to be a network attached storage.

If I want to stuff 2TB of files into somewhere that's not-local, why does it particularly matter to me what the exact technology used for storing them is?

I mean, obviously "cloud" is quite successful, and comes with the ability to be able to say "Not our problem!" when AWS is down for some reason or another. But none of the problems you talk about are new, and all of them were quite well solved 20 years ago by companies running their own hardware. Been there, admin'd that. A four-machine cluster (two web front ends doing the bulk of the compute, two SQL database servers replicating to each other, and some disk storage regularly synced between the two database servers) could handle a staggering amount of traffic when properly tuned. The same is true today, without any of the problems of rotational disk latency. SQL on NVMe solves an awful lot of problems.

But, again, not my money to spend. I just find it baffling that a lot of people today don't even seem to realize that physical servers are still a thing.

Either this is “traditional” misogyny wrapped up in a pseudo intellectual veneer or you fundamentally don’t understand the issue or what the commenter was saying. I say “traditional” because what’s fetishized as “traditional” was only true for a very narrow period in history and it necessitated a underclass of low paid help.

Feminism is about equality of opportunity and not necessarily being bound by traditional gender roles. That doesn’t mean someone can’t be a homemaker. It means no one should be forced to be. It means everyone should autonomy over their own bodies.

You made a wild suggestion that having more children years ago somehow is evidence of a lack of misogyny.

North Korean women have more children because of poverty, a lack of options and limited to no access to birth control. South Korean women 50+ years ago had more children for basically the same reasons .

South Korea has created a society where women have much higher expectations yet they’re paid less for the same jobs, moreso than most OECD countries. The US is down a path where people can’t afford housing and need multiple jobs to make ends meet. What we see is an entirely predictable drop in people having children.
I’ll never understand why the recommendation is for people with no training or experience in handling wild animals whatsoever is to expect them to catch a potentially rabid bat instead of just vaccinating them. Even if someone manages to catch the bat and it tests negative for rabies, then what? What if the test isn’t 100% accurate? Would you trust it? Considering how awful and deadly the virus is, I would not care what the test result is, I’d want the vaccine. I got it about 10 years ago, it was a series of 3 shots and was no big deal. We give rabies shots to dogs and cats constantly, why do humans have to jump through hoops to get it?

The problem of our time is simply that the fruits of the global economy are distributed extremely poorly (jet set global urban intelligentsia isn't big enough) and there is no room for any nativistic or religious culture (call it spirituality, or whatever, it's important…). The folks left behind will simply replace the primacy of Corporate Memphis-style global capitalism with something cooler, economics and politics will be downstream from that culture.

There isn't a world where an living, breathing Christopher Hitchens wouldn't shed a tear at how internationalist, "steel-and-glass" culture has become in say, Paris, France. He also criticised the thinly-veiled American Imperialism ("democracy" or we shoot you) constantly.

Any such country who is not doing it for the show but honestly trying would have to tear down most if not all cultural barriers. SK sounds like one of the last places for this to actually work.

There is about 200 millions of africans and north of 500 millions of asians in extreme poverty who would give their left leg to move to modern democracy, if it would be feasible. Heck, they are dying by hundreds trying to cross rough seas like mediterranean.

'quite open to immigration' is most probably not what we should call it, if expectations are around 100% knowledge of language and very obscure culture and its rules right out of the box to be at least tolerated.
We are doing something similar. Moving from NextJS to Vite. We export our webapp and get static assets that get cached by the web browser. When loaded the app makes a single GraphQL call that loads up all the data needed for the initial page.

We don't do any SSR. We did not realize that NextJS isn't a good option for use case like ours. It does do static exports and you can do client side routing. But it adds a lot complexity to support SSR that isn't relevant to us. And DX compared to Vite is painfully slow. Annoyingly slow.

Imagine being able to centrally manage a massive fleet of these virtualbox-s and centrally control what storage, network, cpu and other compute resources get used. Throw in replication, high-availibility and a host of other features. Think on-prem AWS
It seems like for this to pay off, we need to imagine a rather specific transaction: good scissors are hard to find for theoretical grandkids, so they ask if you have any scissors and you give them your scissors. Maybe, but there are other scenarios where your grandkids don’t live nearby and buy their own scissors at a store without asking you, and later your junk goes carted off to the landfill after you die. So that bet might not pay off, because the transaction didn’t happen.

If scissors turn out to be valuable in the future, maybe you could sell them, but probably to a stranger. It’s not obviously a good investment?

Currently, most people don’t bother to try to buy or sell used scissors. They buy new scissors at a store. It’s pretty easy to end up with scissors scattered throughout the house, so having a hook where you put all the scissors is a first step to figuring out how many you can get rid of. Or at least it avoids buying new scissors because you can’t find them.
> Is it necessary to literally break the API of a fundamental component in a React webapp 5 times ?!?!

Ask HN: How Can We Build a Community for Workers to Coordinate Wage Increases?
Hi HN,

I’m interested in creating a platform or community where workers can openly discuss their wages and collectively strategize to improve them. The idea is to foster transparency and coordination—think workers agreeing not to accept any job offer unless it’s at least $1 above the local minimum wage. The long-term goal would be to gradually push companies into offering fairer wages across the board.

I see this as a grassroots approach to balancing the power dynamic between workers and employers. However, there are challenges:

How can we ensure anonymity and safety for participants to avoid retaliation?
What would be the best tools or platforms to use (existing forums, custom apps, etc.)?
Are there successful examples of similar efforts I could learn from?
How do we prevent this from being undermined (e.g., workers undercutting each other)?

I’d love to hear thoughts, advice, or resources from the HN community. Have you seen or participated in anything similar? How would you approach building something like this?

Thanks!

Bit of an aside but I wonder how far tube technology might have advanced, without semiconductors intervening. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, GE, IBM, and RCA, probably other companies, were working on "integrated tubes" with many components in a single envelope, as well as techniques for easier and more automated manufacture.

Absolutely incorrect. The state militias consisted of private citizens with their own arms who would organize when needed, not standing state armies with government issued arms.

My boss at Allied Gear Company had programs his dad wrote in 1980 using TK!Solver under MS-DOS. I thought I was going to have to redo them in something modern, but I found an easier path with VirtualBox and some port rerouting to get the printouts captured into a text file in notepad.

Because the CPU has to load the model in parts for every cycle so you're spending a lot of time on IO and it offsets processing.

This is so stupid. Why is there always black or white.

I think the notion of tribalism has run its course. Everybody forms identities and then makes political alliances with people with whom they believe they share goals in common. To argue that Hitchens was above tribes, and this explains both his international socialism and his support for the invasion of Iraq doesn't pass muster. There was other people who shared similar commitments and with whom he made common cause. Nobody is going to label their own group a tribe, but everybody who opposes you is doing so because of base tribalism. It has no explanatory power.

Also, ironically, this article reads like an apologia for a saint, trying to square the circle of all his inconsistent opinions. Maybe Hitchens was a very clever writer and was particularly well-equipped to speak about his age, but he far from a great thinker.
Elon Musk loses bid to reinstate Tesla pay plan, now worth $101B
I'd say, people that need it. Which could be the same for all the other models out there.

To create one model that is great at everything is probably a pipedream. Much like creating a multi-tool that can do everything- but can it? I wouldn't trust a multi-tool to take a wheel nut off a wheel, but I would find it useful if I suddenly needed a cross-head screw taken out of something.

But then I also have a specific crosshead screwdriver that is good at just taking out cross-head screws.

Use the right tool for the right reason. In this case, there maybe a legal reason why someone might need to use it. It might be that this version of a model can create something better that another model can't. It might be that for cost reasons you are within AWS, that it makes sense to use a model at the cheaper cost than say something else.

So yeah, I am sure it will be great for some people, and terrible for others... just the way things go!

> Should South Korea manage to unify North & South it would bankrupt them.

What if they didn't do that (at first), but instead (as an intermediate step) annexed the north as a colony with its own economy but South Korean governorship; and then opened said colony to worldwide foreign aid?

This would be very similar to the short-term arrangement negotiated between West Germany and East Germany after the fall of the Berlin wall. For analogous reasons, West Germany didn't want to immediately absorb/unify with East Germany; instead, they held political and military stewardship over East Germany until it could be built back up.

I think this particular engineering department has a very exceptional group of college kids.

Our culture seemed to give "opportunity" a good balance (even when we see the many downfalls, ie the entire crypto space)
> the rationale of the 2nd Amendment in the US Constitution becomes clear

About the one thing this situation does not need is armed randos taking matters into their own hands. Currently, Seoul is in a constitutional crisis. The President is required to lift martial law. He has not yet done so. If people on the streets started shooting at each other, he'd have legitimate reason to send in the military. Korea's lack of a 2nd Amendment is one of the things keeping this constitutional crisis from what would have been the stupidest civil war of the millenium.

For what it's worth, that's already a thing in NYC. NYC shares the ticket revenue for illegally idling vehicles with the reporter, and so some people have made 6 figures in one year reporting idling vehicles[1]. There was a push to get a similar provision in a recent bill about illegal parking in bus and bike lanes, but they ended up just allowing citizen complaints with no bounty payout.

>> One could argue that the invocation of the Emergencies Act in Canada (in response to protests against COVID safety measures) resembles martial law

> I'd agree with this characterisation.

I consider it an occupation of the capital. If re-establishing public order by forcing lawbreakers to leave is martial law, then so be it. It needed to happen.

There have been successful long-running protests in Ottawa in the past, including encampments outside the national legislature, without any hard response. Sticking dozens or hundreds of trucks belching diesel fuels and blaring horns in the central part of the national capital for a month, and preventing police from keeping order, goes beyond any normal protest.
> What area does VMWare excel so much to justify this pricing power?

My experience is only with VMWare's desktop-virtualization tools, but hands-down they have the best integration features and services, especially for... uh... "retro" small-business computing needs (in my case, it was the only way I could get a VM running Windows Server 2003 to work - which I needed in-order to be able to run a Progress-based CRM).

I find it odd that Microsoft's own virtualization/Hyper-V stuff is useless if you're wanting to run older versions of Windows, especially XP/2000/2003 (as Hyper-V was a post-Vista/WS2008 thing); it's not just the lack of drivers, but the lack of absolutely-essential integration features like USB port forwarding and "real" GPU emulation (because Hyper-V's "Enhanced Session mode" doesn't actually show you the local-console desktop: it's all just using a special mode of RDP).
Seems like it's mostly AWS' answer to Cloudflare D2, but using Postgres as the frame of reference instead of sqlite. (I'm not really sure what to call Postgres in this situation since it's so limited it's clearly not any full version of Postgres in any respect. Postgres-ish)
Sounds like over philosophizing, could it just be that corruption (i.e, are Biden/Harris the most qualified people in the USA to run the country?
