My cloud costs for my micro instance are about $12 a month. Multiple domains on there. I don't use RDS, ElasticCache, not even load balancers. If you want to keep the costs reasonable, you must roll that stuff on your own, which is tot

Speaking of time and sleep, I have always been fascinated with the concept of "first sleep, second sleep". https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220107-the-lost-medieva... I have tried it - it's like

This is why the world needs soccer. Every four years, take those centuries-old pent up gripes and rivalries onto the field. Let it all out.

Letting profiteering run wild when it comes to essential public service has rarely worked out well.

I don't really see how this applies. First of all, the whole point is that the agency is NOT doing it, because it does not have the public's interest in mind. Secondly, how would education help here? Am I supposed to walk around w

Step 1: Defund and castrate the government. To hell with administrative state! Step 2: Observe disaster. Step 3: Bitch and moan about how the ineffectual government was not able to prevent this. Offer the solution of ... small government. G

I just finished "Flying Blind", describing how the Boeing engineering and oversight culture was destroyed, and I know how. These agencies have been gutted and corrupted and are no longer there to regulate. They are there to facili

Having just finished "Flying Blind" and filled with incandescent rage, reading about the rise and fall of Boeing (and GE) as an engineering company, this seems about right. The upward failures keep failing upward.

Software engineering has become unenjoyable. There is no longer a feeling of control. I no longer come to work thinking - "yeah, I got this, I know exactly what is going on". I have no idea what's going on. It's all putt

Well, obviously, this is almost a metaphor, as it's a stretch to literally apply the term Rule of Law to something as sketchy as the dark web. Also, note that I did not use something like "Law and Order", as that can have a p

This just shows that people naturally gravitate toward a system of social harmony and the rule of law, as it lets you reasonably adjust your behavior, as the expectations are formalized, and everyone else is assumed to be abiding by them. T

It's a testament to how fraudulent this "trickle down" argument is. The contractors in security, the kitchen, cleaning - they get peanuts, while working in one of the most decadent centers of wealth on the planet.

But you COULD go private. What if you couldn't? It's obviously not perfect, but that idea that health care is a privilege is pretty anti-social.

Also, this idea that Elon Musk is going to wait in line to get a checkup is ridiculous. Those who can afford it will always be able to buy premium care. But we have millions of people who are waiting to be financially ruined by an act of Go

Which is an anti-pattern. Healthcare is not a product with supply and demand dynamics of, say, cars. Capitalism does not help with its delivery. Biotech, equipment manufacturing, yes, but not delivery . "I am just not going to get sic

I upgraded my 2008 HP with an SSD and max amount of memory. That thing was ahead of its time - a Macbook-style touch strip where you can control volume and other things (albeit much less fancy), and fingerprint login. It's a beautiful

Right. I think people overwhelmingly recharge at home, and if you live in, say, an NYC or Chicago apartment building, owning an EV can be a major hassle. I have almost never seen Teslas parked in Manhattan streets, but in outer boroughs, pr

The Power of Habit really taught me to be on the lookout for negative and positive habit loops. It's an incredibly powerful concept, and how pretty much all addictions work, from food to cocaine. You are bored, so you automatically get

I actually find that the process of formation of everything around us is pretty straight forward. After all, none of it is explained by magic. Now, how all this shocking amount of matter came to exist from energy, which also had to come fro
