Complexity can only ever be moved, never removed. This means complex problems are impossible to make easy, only a single part of a problem can be swayed with equal or worse cost to others. This is best seen in abstractions; they make certai

I'm not sure I get what you mean. It's just that it's incredibly difficult to signal anything with a tool that exists for the sole purpose of utility. It's like trying to sell cotton with signaling; it doesen't real

As signaling is the opposite of practical, it's like asking how kryptonite could best help superman

You don't even have to look that hard; micro-transaction and in-app purchases are mostly all about bragging and showing success

I doubt anyone actually thinks that. It's understandable to be surprised, it's not every day everyone needs resources at once at the same time, although some foresight a month before couldn't have hurt

Not everyone can afford multiple sets of clothing for themselves. A lot of people live in poverty, day to day with what they've got. Denying access to all clothing will undoubtedly cause distress

Automation really is all progress made by humans. Chainsaws replace hand-saws, and is 'automated' sawing. The less work is required to produce goods, the better it can compete (in price). This makes it so that you _don't have

I'd imagine the limit being how densely you can packrods together and sufficiently cool them. What I'd be much more interested in is what's the _minimum_ size they can be made in safe and relatively efficiently

Similarily to bikebreaks, it's often better to be safe than most efficient

Also to keep in mind, despite it's name, 600m shouldn't blow anyone's socks off in upkeep. It translates to about 7krps/day. Assuming it's all in one region at day time, it's 14krps/12hrs, or 42krps/4

Computing itself is the cheap part, especially on spot instances. It's the outbound bandwidth that'll kill you

Isn't cost of living also much lower in Southeast Asia?

I think most people over-estimate the need for availability anyway. It's tempting to build the very best you can, when in reality a business really needs a good-enough solution. A whole ton of software can be down every weekend if need

I don't think it's silly at all; I couldn't determine whether this was specifically made by hand or with the aid of a computer, even when put next to a piece that was (it's the amalgamation of real arts afterall). I can&

It's to note that any data exported out of AWS will be billed at $0.09/GB, or $90/TB
