This idea keeps coming up but the reality is that the per-person payouts would add up to such a small amount that it wouldn’t justify the administrative costs of implementing the program, from both a payout and an enforcement perspective. I

Grinberg is great. The flask mega tutorial taught me so much and I’ve recommended it so many times.

Four pages and six clicks doesn’t sound that bad to me, tbh.

Yes, it would be good and this is precisely what they did in this study.

This is awesome. And it has an RSS feed! Would be cool to publish multiple feeds corresponding to each integer significance threshold. Like 6+, 7+ etc Update: turns out the RSS feed doesn’t work like I expected. I wanted it to publish each

Love the company, but I wouldn’t buy another one of their laptops.

For my company, compute is over 80% of the cost, so we would come out much worse on this even if storage dropped to zero.

Definitely. But in our case, compute makes up more than 80% of costs, even though we store a large amount of data. I suspect most big customers will come out much worse from this.

They have on-demand pricing, which is metered by data read, and also reserved slots, which are metered by time. The reserved slots come with a considerable discount to on-demand, so it's worth it when you are consuming compute most of

Not lots but I’ve gotten it a few times. There seems to be no way to prevent it. Every time I send a detailed report to Google. No idea whether anyone sees them.

Almost 43,000 people died in car-related deaths in the US in 2021 (and millions more worldwide). I hope we can stop focusing on the small number of deaths from this one car company that has self-driving features. Relevant: https:/&#x2
