Lets do some maths on that claim:
AWS: c3.8xlarge	with 32 "CPUS" and 60 gigs of ram.

For the machine alone its $1200 a month. Bear in mind its on a shared infrastructure, with noisy neighbours. You'll see about 10-30% CPU steal. In practice you'll see performance about half that of a real machine (from my comparisons)

Then you'll need to factor in disks as well. First things first EBS is dogshit slow. Yes ephemeral disks are fast, but then they die, so you're in the same situation. however you need 10gig networking to get low latency, avoid puncturing the cache etc,etc,etc,

for EBS the maximum IOPs you can guarantee to get is 20,000, and you need 1tb for that.

for the Iops, thats $1300 a month + $125 for the 1 TB of storage.

so a month, per machine it'll be $2625. $31500 per machine, per year.

Every 6 months, you could buy a new machine, which is faster than the fastest EC2 instance + EBS.

Now, the OP stated that they have more than one machine. Obviously one could use reserved instances. However similarly one could negotiate volume discounts.

There is of course the cost of internet and cooling, you're looking at around $500 a month for half a rack, depending on power consumption. (if you're colo'ing)

From a valuation point of view, having hardware counts towards your value, as its an asset you actually own. More importantly you can use it to lower your tax bill, and reduce your run rate, in exchange for an up front cost.

Now, if you have a lot of bursty traffic, that doesn't require much DB activity, then AWS is perfect, as the elastic IP load balancer allows you to spin up machine on demand. However thats not that helpful for Databases. Sure you can warm migrate from a EBS snapshot, but you'd best do it quick, otherwise you'll overload an already overloaded DB.

> Therefore it's not critical or something to be taken personally about one's proposed implementation, it's the symptom of unclear requirements and the need to clarify them.

Absolutely, and that's why I agree that the term Overengineering is an unhelpful shorthand that implies criticism to an unnecessary extent.

Oh, what a major problem it is for the vast majority of overweight people changing their diet and lifestyle. This really is the most important point they have to keep in mind: BMI don't apply to athletes who regularly train and practice. What a bummer.

As a "buyer" I think it's an excellent idea.

There's a prominent developer in a community I follow who recently found his company to fold, and posted that he was looking on his blog. At the time, I was pitching for a project; I set aside a place for him and had I won the project, would have contacted him asking if he wanted the job.

In another case, someone's failure became a blog post, which I shared with management of my then employer, who authorized me to get in touch and offer the person a no-questions-asked job (she didn't take it).
"Far too many people, though, can manage to find an hour or more in their day to drive to the gym, exercise and then clean up afterward — but complain that there’s just no time to cook or prepare a healthful, home-cooked meal. If they would spend just half the time they do exercising trying to make a difference in the kitchen, they’d most likely see much better results."

This. From my anecdotal evidence, weight loss is largely a commitment issue. So when you spend as much time going to the gym and back as you spend exercising there, motivation to continue the effort can disappear despite the reward. So it's just best to find your own right balance between (what kind of/how much) effort and reward.
You have to see it from the other side. It's about sustainability of the diet.

Eating 1800kcal of white bread, salad and skinless chicken breast will leave you with a raging hunger. Sure, you have a caloric deficit but how sustainable is that going to be? On the other hand eating 1800kcal of salmon, bacon, vegetables and eggs is the same caloric deficit but (for most of us) with way less hunger involved.
i think your proposed requirements would be on top of existing regulations, so they would also create a lot of additional work for lawyers and accountants.

it might be that what stands behind Enron and other bubbles is a decrease in the rates of profit : and so it goes that people put stuff into more and more risky schemes in order to maintain expected growth targets; in order to do so they have to hack/find ways around existing regulations, but we know that you can hack any system of rules ;-)

All that might also be true for internet businesses : we had a big growth in tech business over the previous decades, but now it might get increasingly difficult to achieve the same rates of return (or not).
Everybody in the fitness circles (see Reddit Fitness) knows this. It's just that normally doctors, TV & company misadvice you, telling something like "walk more, be more active" when the task at hand is to lose weight. Actually the exercise suggestion should be: do some strength training while seriously dieting in order to retain muscles. A 30 minutes run will burn ~400 calories. The same amount of calories can be eaten in 10 seconds. Do your math.
About the dot-com bubble
It's been the case for at least 15 years that app developers couldn't rely on their users being on the internet. It's annoying, and I agree with you has a chilling effect on less-centralized applications, but doesn't rise to the level of "Disaster."

One thing that people need to be precise about, particularly as IPv6 comes online, is the difference between NAT and PAT. I realize that 90%+ of the HN community understand the difference, (NAT changes your Address only, PAT changes your address to a single outbound address, and multiplexes a PORT) but with IPv6 it has a very real significance.

Deployment of PAT in IPv6 is really quite frowned upon, but there a number of very real administrative reason why Network Prefix Translation (NPT, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6296 ) - which is really just stateless NAT, makes sense.

With NPT, you convert the first 64 bits (the "Network"), but leave the last 64 bits (the "Interface") untouched. This gives the inside of your network really good ISP mobility - allowing you to switch to a new ISP at the drop of a hat, without having to worry about any internal renumbering, updating thousands of DNS records, etc... The only DNS records you would need to worry about would be for external connectivity (which is typically orders of magnitude less than internal hosts, and also typically more well documented.

I expect that most forward looking enterprises deploying IPv6 will use some combination of RFC 4193 (Unique Local IPV6 Unicast, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193, the IPv6 variant of RFC 1918) + RFC 6296 Network Prefix Translation.
Would you mind pointing me to something that explains what has happened in the last 5 years that made PCB design so much cheaper? It's quite surprising to read.

This. We recently had to upgrade to a c4 instance in AWS because the single core on a c3 couldn't take what we were sending. We needed something like Brubeck because eventually the c4 will run out of headroom too.
You seem to have misunderstood my point.

The general rule that muscle strength is positive for health applies to non-athletes just as well.
I use LastPass and KeePass extensively in the setup you outline.

Why do people use LastPass? Convenience, and you aren't really gaining any extra security (except through obscurity) when using those other services.

LastPass encrypts and decrypts client side, their cloud only synchronises the encrypted blob. This is what is happening in the KeePass + Cloud service scenario too.

You gain a little security through obscurity as you'd probably need to be attacked as an individual, but mass breaches are not unknown (Dropbox for example) and at that point you have no more security than LastPass.

KeePass does have the keyfile feature, which is a particularly nice version of two-factor authentication, but LastPass offers various options - including One Time Passwords (Sesame), YubiKey and even good old fashioned offline paper grid method (arguably more secure as you have a an air-gapped authentication method).

LastPass has fantastic apps and plugins that make using unique high entropy random strings for your online accounts absolutely painless. The plugins are better and more widely available than the KeePass versions.

I've said it in another comment, but it comes down to trust in the encryption method. If the method is properly implemented then the overall scheme is secure (save for other attacks like keyloggers which both would be susceptible to).
Nothing wrong with bacon, fine source of macro calories. Maybe it's a little high in sodium.
There are tasks to be done that require binaries. Typically 1 second tasks.

This binary needs to interact with Java or NodeJS so it uses sockets [creates a server and nodejs connects to it to tell it what to do] for the request.

A container seems silly since its a sub 1 second task
BMI doesn't apply to all non-athletes either. My anecdotal evidence is that a few years back, my BMI was below average while I was clearly overweight.
What a load of rubbish. First of all, losing weight is not the goal itself, it's one of the means to the real goal, which is to be healthy. It's not about eating less, it's about eating healthy. Exercise is absolutely essential to be healthy, regardless of weight.

Exercise is more important that eating less. What a dumb suggestion.
It's not very useful - it's generating only one visitor structure, while you'd need many for different passes. E.g., a visitor for extracting bound and free identifiers lists would be different from a visitor for lowering various syntax sugar.
AirMail 2 and Mail.app as I have three email accounts.
I cannot decide which one is best, because on one side AirMail is working very well with tags but Mail.app is much more well integrated in the system.

Downvotes? So you agree with this?

"I seriously consider the good faith of an such upstream which does these kinds of things"

"But basically secretly downloading it leads to the question of possible malicious intent (and everyone knows that Google&Co. do voluntarily and/or forcibly cooperate with NSA and friends)."

"while I haven't looked at the code, I wouldn't even be surprised if the downloading itself is done insecurely."

"Worse, chromium isn't the only such rootkit-downloader,... e.g. FF which secretly downloaded the OpenH264 blob."

Really if you condone this attitude then I can only say...well I won't say it but it isn't nice. Not only that, everyone seemingly ignores the: "Note that the binary blob is executed throught native client, which is not enabled by default" part.

You people are so beyond reasonableness I find myself defending Chrome/Google. I can't believe this.
I share your pain, the state of actual implementations is sad. I don't know any (combination) of clients that do it all. Jitsi is pretty good but ugly and desktop only. Gajim is really good. Conversations is great for text on Android 4+.

It is no surprise that Whatsapp and the like are so successful. Textsecure/Signal is being too slow, I am afraid they missed their window of opportunity for fast widespread adoption.
Lambda is great for doing lots of tasks in bulk. Say I have a binary that is able to process data quickly.

On a lambda request nodejs instructs a binary on what to do using a socket. Meaning it binds to a local port and interacts with the binary getting and receiving instructions until the task is complete. In all sub 1 second.

Lambda doesn't allow sockets so its uses are very limited. Binaries also cut down the time it takes to do a task and allow a greater variety of things to be done.
> Most adult males who lift enough weights to care about cutting and bulking are burning 3000+ kcals daily.

I very much doubt that. Most adult males that combine lifting 1 hour+ a day with a physically demanding job and who is otherwise highly active, maybe. That includes a very small proportion of people who "lift enough weights to care about cutting and bulking".

I've done power lifting for ten years. I'm 108kg, carry around far more muscle than the average man. I exercise hard 3+ times a week. That's enough that my lifts according to strstd.com are all in the "advanced" range - much more than that is a waste when doing power lifting unless you're aiming to compete internationally. Yet my daily calorie need is on average ~2300kcal because I have a sedentary office job.

Most guys I see that worry about cutting and bulking have no clue what they're doing, and end up getting fat and bloated when bulking, so I tend to discount what people think they need quite heavily. I gained most of my muscle early on with a diet that saw me on 1600kcal-1800kcal. It's just the last few years I've been able to increase my intake above that without adding too much fat (and if you think I'm super defined and low body fat, think again)
You are confusing "calorie counting", which is a method of losing weight, with a "caloric deficit" being the number one factor for losing weight, which is a fact.

It doesn't matter if you count calories or not. What matters is that you achieve a caloric deficit. Any method that is applied successfully to achieve weight loss has resulted in a caloric deficit, whether or not that method was calorie counting.
That doesn't stop you from having a Linux system without systemd, though.

What effect on body composition is that? Artificial sweeteners don't cause insulin resistance, so they should be fine for you.

The acid in Diet Coke is real bad for your teeth, but fruit juice is more acidic and has more sugar than diet soda and yet you probably think it's healthy, right?
I think focussing on "weight loss" is the incorrect metric. They would be better off using "body fat %".

It is possible to gain weight, and yet become more healthy. In addition, the metric most often used to work out whether are people are overweight, the BMI, is hopelessly inaccurate.
Ask HN: Idea for web-design website / forum
I'm considering creating a simple forum where people can share web design ideas.

The concept is a little different than anything I've come across, so please let me know if it exists so I don't end up trying to reinvent what's already out there.

I imagine this site would be similar in concept to HN in the sense that people would begin new topics, and then based on community interest / engagement perhaps those topics would either slide up or down on the front page.

The main difference is, the "topics" people would provide would be screenshots of particular elements from existing websites, and the forum would be where people would share their insights / styles / techniques for accomplishing that same design.

For example, a user might submit a new topic which shows a screenshot of Twitter's website, and wants to share their techniques for how to create (using HTML / CSS / JS / Sass / Less / etc) the functionality and behavior of the header.

Within the forum, people would engage in conversation about, or share their own techniques, or debate whether or why a particular technique is not considered best practices or should / should not be used, etc.

I really think something like this would help take the online dialogue about web design to another level for a couple reasons, but mainly because it focuses attention on specific cases and isolates particular components of the design of a web page.

There's probably no reason this kind of thing couldn't be done on an existing forum website, by linking to sites like jsfiddle.net, but I imagine there are probably some customizations that could be done to a common forum format that would fit / streamline this idea a little more cleanly.
How can people forget, when that cost is right there in the price tag? If anything, it's easier to overlook the costs of running your own hardware, since they aren't immediately apparent.
Personally I don't believe there's a backdoor in the technology but think they can (and probably will) comply if you have a backup key stored in the cloud, which Windows 8 consumer versions do by default (https://onedrive.live.com/recoverykey). That would explain the evasive answer.

There were earlier stories from a developer building Bitlocker indicating the FBI did want a backdoor at the time but ultimately settled for this.

You can avoid sending the backup key to the cloud, but I'd advise to keep a backup of this key somewehere: I have had to use a backup key on several occasions after a bad reboot.
By 'some' you mean 'one'.
Counting calories is definitely NOT the way to a healthy body. That's all marketing fluff. 500 calories from Macdonalds is not the same as 500 calories of fresh vegetables. And why did you put "quality food" in quotes?! The type of food you eat make a huge difference!

Increase your intelligence: 5 ways to maximize cognitive potential (2011)
Among other terms for it are "medical weight management" and "bariatric medicine". The idea is prescribing appropriate nutritional programs, behavioral approaches, and yes, exercise to assist people to reduce excess body fat content.

Where indicated, medications can be prescribed to reduce appetite and satiety, perhaps increase metabolism in some instances. Probably obvious, but there are many other aspects to treatment of obesity, not the least of which is addressing other health conditions that contribute to excess adiposity.

There is substantial medical/science literature on all these topics, really not too hard to find using search engines of choice.
Yeah, I definitely don't write them off, but I will usually probe a bit harder about a candidate's motivation if they've gone through one.

You sound like you're doing it for all the right reasons!
My BMI is 30.1, which is obese. With a 36' waist, and usually fitting pretty comfortably in to an American size M t-shirt, I am a little overweight, but BMI is not a helpful measurement for any kind of diagnostic for me. I lift the occasional heavy thing, but an athlete I am not.
But it doesn't mean that when you're healthy your automatically not overweight. You can be pretty healthy having a lot of fat. The point is that in the past you gained the fat by eating too much, so if you want to lose that, you should eat too less.
Every person has its own goals.
Research has shown that, among dietary and health guidelines, switching soda for diet soda is the most effective guideline that exists.

Eating better is obviously preferable, but the reason most people fail their diet is because it is too hard for them to comply with it. This is where the "switch to diet soda" is so effective; people can actually do it.
I'm absolutely floored to see comments here still nit-picking at FOOD QUALITY vs FOOD QUANTITY vs WHAT DEFINES EXERCISE vs ETC.

Whilst I fully enjoy reading some of the opinions on SOD, the myriad of needless front-end frameworks, etc. - this really is not subjective at all. Calories in, calories out. You eat 5000cal of the most nutritious, well balanced meal & run 10km - you will still put on weight (given you're not a giant).

I'm not sure how this is so open to interpretation, it's rudimentary science at best.
Starbucks Stops Selling Some Syrups in India Amid Food-Safety Scare
I'm currently reading an interesting book - Food and Western Disease by Staffan Lindeberg. Among other things, it talks about how gluten might interfere with leptin (the hormone that makes us feel full). I don't think this has been proven 100% yet, but I've noticed that there seems to be far more fat people in the countries that eat lots of wheat, than in the countries that rely on rice.
Something related is that a lot of people are eating too quickly. I am guilty of this. And that doesn't leave time to the brain to get the satiety signals, leading to eat more than necessary. Eating more slowly can end up helping reduce portions. It's a difficult habit to overcome, though.
You can only get away with hiring juniors is you're very big or very small - between the two the overhead of training someone up is a significant short term burden.
> weight loss is largely a commitment issue

Yes, but it's a "commitment issue" in the same class as "stopping drinking", "stopping smoking", and "getting out of debt" for a lot of people; there's a very large mental/compulsive/dependency component.
For me its actually exactly the opposite. I live in an island which makes the longest distance to be ~2hours with the car, but the way back aaalways seems to last forever, but the way there happens in an instant!

Debian is an open-source zero-binary-blob distribution. You have to deliberately choose to install binary blobs, such as driver firmware etc.

It is the dismissive response which is not appropriate. The responder asserts that the blob is safe and trustworthy, how would anybody know?.
LastPass, Defender of Our Passwords, Just Got Hacked
Different foods cause different levels of satiation.

Knowing that eating less will make you lose weight is not the same thing as overcoming feelings of hunger to actually eat less in practice.
The other examples are pretty terrible too, the guy who was afraid of his "liberal" students was complained about by a right-wing student who demanded he blame a financial collapse on poor, black homeowners, and was mostly frightened because he apparently had no job security.

So on the basis of all the examples the highly respected Economist magazine can scrape together, this appears to be almost entirely invented scandal.

You on the other hand seem to have knowledge of a wide-ranging campaign of terror and intimidation against free speech, maybe you should write up an article about it and we could discuss that instead.
