"Tesla only exists through government largesse, specifically carbon tax credits." This assumes no subsidies for oil and gas (plenty, including depreciation below cost basis!) In terms of credits - those are in the 2%-3% range of r

Fair point - that cycle took FOREVER. I remember when their marketing slides starting doing comparisons between their unreleased future products and current (and sometimes about to be replaced) competitor products.

No question - but these kind of games lead to poor adoption. They made a big todo about how much better than AMD they are with things like AVX512. Then they play these games for market purposes. Then they have stupid clock speed pauses, so

The difference is intel chips that support AVX-512 run $1,300 - $11,000 with MUCH higher total system costs whereas AMD actually DOES support AVX-512 on all it's chips and you can get AVX-512 for dirt cheap. The whole intel instruction

I was a heavy movie goer (no TV at home!) and used to go to a ton of movies - sometimes more than one in a day. Some things that are tough Totally ignoring patron behavior A group of older teens comes in, phones on the entire movie on brigh

Wow - I was wrong. I thought this would have been something like terraform with a default to immediate delete with no recovery period or something. Still a default, but a third party thing and maybe someone in unisuper testing something and

Pulleys and knots can go hand in hand. With ropes you can start with a basic loop that acts as a pulley. Butterfly, wireman's loop, farmers something - I forget the names. But you basically create a loop that let's you double back

They walk to merchandise up to the register. Once you pay you get it. How does that not reduce shrink? In terms of profiling - some folks are sick of theft - so the sentiment change if they start taking a harder line on theft may be smaller

This was the same issue apple was facing with their batteries - basically - the third party alibiba folks weren't doing nearly as much QC as apple did. Of course, apple got hammered for alerting users to potentially non-apple batteries

Haha.. That matches what I experienced. It literally disappeared from everywhere but actually just kept on running.

The idea that liability should be 100% on the parents is an absolute horrific ugly hacker news only type take. Hackers love to argue these sort of points into the ground. I'm sick of it. They take these points to absurd lengths. And ye

SimpleDB disappeared off the marketing pages - but I don't think it got shut down in reality until 2020 maybe? It was easily 5+ years after DynamoDB came along. There was definitely a period where there was little SimpleDB availability

I started with AWS pretty early. Networking was drop dead simple. Basically I think all my instances got an 10.x.x.x IP address. You had a basic firewall (security groups nowadays) but that was it. Let's say you had another account for

It's weak - but could easily be modified to a strong parental rights type law - companies have to verify in person parental approval for little kids to have social media, parent is then admin on account, and time limits must be settabl

I hope you are not on a jury trying a child rapist and blaming the parents as 100% at fault. Liability is obviously not always 100% on the parents. Sometimes you have to send your kid to school. If they are beaten bloody every day that&#x27

Your claim that parents have clicked yes to authorize all the kids accounts and activities is a total joke. When you say "parental rights" - the issue is that parents DON'T have admin rights to their kids social media stuff.

We deploy little apps internally. Users have low latency on the network - even home users we steer to use ISPs we know have low latency. I've found that speed can make a difference in user like for an app. Even going out to google etc

It's weird that the focus is so heavily on businesses and alleged harms to businesses (to ie, scam customers with hard to cancel renewals). One reason folks LIKE apple is because apple has the market power to do things that yes - hurt

Didn't they also hammer folks using google maps in a business / cloud context? I was also an old app engine user, but bailed ages ago (original app engine).

The budget cycle for 2024 has likely finished so orgs are moving to execute on 2024 plans. Executives can finalize things a bit more easily when folks out of the office as the day to day a bit slower. HR / Acctg / IT also usually

Or folks will check where their spam comes from. At least 2-3 years ago digital ocean was a ridiculously major source of spam. I've no interest in investigating why, but there is a near zero chance they were following anything like &qu

Some of these solutions may not work as well in "big government" cities - they layer on so many non-core requirements the underlying product can become somewhat expensive or challenging. I had to deal with government tech support

But their first efforts in BARD were really not great. I'd just have left the bragging out in terms of how long. OpenAI and others have no doubt sent a big wakeup call to google. For a while it seemed like they had turned to focus an A

Investors are banking on the idea in part that the governments will make it hard for others to compete with them by restricting new housing. Not a super bad bet. At least in the bay area the layer of regulations and hoop jumping is very ver

I'm often confused by folks going to great lengths to "prove" stuff to HR. Why? HR works for the company / manager. Focus on yourself. Your greatest power is not in arguing with a boss who doesn't like you. You can

Sure. That said, the cost / benefit tradeoffs often seem pretty good for AWS. The cost is low enough to other costs on a project that gain on velocity is worth it. In others gains on reliability, maintenance savings etc. Ended up doing

I looked at VMware "in the cloud". It was around $50,000 - $100,000 per year for 48 cores. I've defended AWS pricing many times, mostly because of ability to burst etc. But the VMware workloads are often much flatter in terms

Uh, you have a nonprofit board firing a CEO at a board meeting that doesn't even sound like was properly noticed. Was the board president even given time to attend? And Microsoft has total rights to the models and weights, so they can

If the board has the support of all the staff the board will be absolutely fine. That said, not clear to me that board is supported by the staff. So if Sam goes, and many of the key staff go... will be interesting. And the boards style in a

Does anyone know if this will stop NGP Van emails (seems to be dem party platform). I cannot get off their mailing lists - they seem to resell the email constantly. I've probably unsubscribed from NGP emails 50+ times. It's crazy.
