I didn't realize that they have direct connections. The AWS data center down the street (Virginia) is directly connected to some google cloud datacenter? Sorry - I'm generally ignorant of datacenter technology. So a back of envel

It would be nice if they managed the transfer themselves via AWS Snowball. Sure, they would have upfront costs, but based on what I spend on AWS monthly, it's probably worth it to them.

I want to try out Google, but they need to make it easier to try it out. I have petabytes of data in S3 that I would need to move first (at least some of it).

This is incredible and infinitely useful. For many years, I've had this hunch that Human symbols and abstractions had an algebraic quality. And, I have always wanted to substitute tags, category, labels, and attributes with global, pe

Many years ago I used to play a lot of D&D. I found that there were generally four types of players: social players, creative players, analytic players and competitive players. The social players liked to hang out and socialize. The cre

Our current global scientific and engineering output is staggering, and it is continuously accelerating. If there was a global 'manhattan project' focused on this, then it would happen. Global economic output is $80 trillion. Ther

Sorry that I wasn't clear. My point is that it's a subjective qualifier. My productive may be your lazy and vice versa

It is extremely unlikely that a post-scarcity world will ever occur without, say, a collective global work project. There is no financial incentive for private capital to initiate it. Just like the Internet (in its current form) would have

Why do we even have armed forces and the police? There are a lot of different reasons, but the big one is to defend property. And, who owns most of the property? And, who will own most of the robots? Fewer and fewer people as time goes on.

Thank you so much for sharing this. If more people would share then maybe it would help solve the root problem. It's too easy for many high-performing people to display an image that it's all cake, no stress - even when they'

Does anyone provide a service to set this scheme up easily? I'd pay $$$ if all of my 'cloud' content and accounts could be migrated to something like this. I just don't have the time to set it up or manage it.

Meta question: do software developers typically enjoy these types of officious, bossy article that state what is and what must / must not be done? The tone of these types of posts always make me chuckle. And, I see similar types of art

Especially so, with the rising gig economy. To more and more people, their digital assets and how and when they access them are how they make money.

Is it unusual to have such terms in a hardware device? I'm guessing that Google loses money on the hardware but makes up the difference in other ways (i.e. personal data, etc). But, other industries use the same model without such ter

I had to look up cognitive dissonance, but I suppose that fits. I had an emotional response and a logical response, and they were in conflict. I had to actually physically list out all of the things that I liked about Clinton vs. what I did

I'm not looking to fight. The election is over.

I meant 2008. Sorry. I'm sure you knew what I meant.

True, but when you have hundreds of millions of dollars directed at one person over several years, approval can slide from 66% to less than 40%, even with the best defenses. Take me, for example. I was a big supporter of Clinton in 2012. I

Very early on the Republican (and later, Trump) strategy was to discredit and bring suspicion to Clinton - enough so that people who would normally vote for her wouldn't show up. Remember that when Clinton was Secretary of State her ap

I have no idea what that all means.

How else can a bunch of very different people work together and be productive together without some level of decorum and safety? So, we get rid of 'political correctness' (i.e. respectfulness), and what then? Many people don'

I'm open to understanding the people in the middle ground. Who are they, what do they want, and what do they stand for?

Sorry, that's plain false. I grew up in one of these places. Many of my schoolmates are people who supported this man. I've tried for years to be accepting of them and their ideas. They're friends of mine. I've tried har

Well, we will see how that will go for them, I guess. But, I'm no longer going to support them, at least. The fact is that no one wants their unskilled, uneducated labor.

If one believes that parts of the global economy, especially the US and UK ones, are going to tank, does it even matter?

How do they explain the genetic factors that cause predisposition? Just as the humans who eat too much sugar can more easily get type 2 diabetes, some humans who are exposed to 'X' can get mental diseases. (X is unknown or it var

I was really looking forward to using Datasets. unfortunately, I've had much better results sticking with RDDs. I migrated to 2.0 a few months ago and have been banging my head ever since. RDDs are very straight forward. You get a dis

IQ has always been a difficult thing for me. I was born into a 3-sigma family to 4-sigma parents. And, on average, we all have lived below average lives. My parents can barely manage their lives, and I'm the only child (of 4) who was a

How's that survivalship bias? It's taking X companies, looking forward Y years, and then contrasting the qualities of the successful ones to the rest. But, the sample doesn't change midstream, does it? (not familiar with the

I don't blame them. They want to get paid well, and having experience with 'stuff that hasn't even been invented yet' makes them look innovative. And, generally, looking innovative means a big pay increase. What's f
