An organization only has so much mental capacity to focus on challenges. Having a required repair-ability goal would hinder the pace of innovation.

It might be worth the hit, but naive to think such an accomplishment is without innovation cost.

Buying 1 Mibps means you can use up to 1Mibps. Paying $/GiB means you can use 100s of Gibps for a split second and only pay the $/GiB fee.

In the past i did a TCO comparison for a large spikey workload where the $/GiB cost even at list was cheaper than allocating enough bandwidth for peak events.

At small scale the $/Mibps likely comes out cheaper, but for any large company sitting on 100s of Gibps of excess capacity for an event that occurs once or twice a year, or a few hours per day is very costly and might eat up savings from p99/p95th billing.

the market caps of each department spun out is likely greater than the current market cap of Amazon today.

That is assuming the companies would all be as successful being spun out.

Might even see negative gain.

Often time the query perf per machine goes down as you move from a single node, indexed, postgresql To a multi node unstructured data.

If you don’t have so much data or unstructured data. Why use the more complex and generally slower per FLOP solution.

So does this mean your car can be deprecated?

6 year deal is substantially less than the life of a car.

I can’t say anything great about old android devices. Large numbers left on older versions with security flaws

45% of Americans use an iPhone. That would require users across the economic spectrum.

Anthos is closer to openstack than the cloud on-prem.

The appeal of cloud is so much more than software and apis.

Outposts might be priced higher to reduce demand. Allowing them time to iron out the kinks.

It’s a common pattern where you aren’t yet ready to scale up to handle the demand at a lower price point.

Doesn’t matter. See Australia. The CCP would gladly withhold teleco infra gear or back door in an update to suit their needs.

Sure USA might do the same. But the USA is aligned closer culturally and values wise to the rest of the west

And you can always use a generator to charge your ev. Or solar.

Video is draining. You have to always be “on”.

It’s worse than physical meetings as the camera is always on.

Audio on the other hand let’s you focus on just the speaker. And what they are saying. No fancy UI to distract. No looking at the bookshelf in the speakers background. Just audio.

Really should be billed on a combination of peak utilization and total consumption.

Having the ability to download at 1Gibps for a few minutes a day is a lot less strain than downloading 24x7 at 1Gibps.

Such complex billing models are pretty common with electrical utilities. With many industrial consumers even installing Flywheels to reduce their utilization spikes.

Which is also what Walmart, target, Kroger’s, publix, Safeway, Costco, kohl’s, and every other big box retailer does.

It’s not a new paradigm.

Don’t disagree. However there’s some evidence that ventilators might not have been the best treatment.

The data itself is incomplete in the linked study.

Here’s a good summary of some findings.

“ Among the 2,634 patients for whom outcomes were known, the overall death rate was 21%, but it rose to 88% for those who received mechanical ventilation, the Northwell Health COVID-19 Research Consortium reported.”

“ Ventilators are typically used only when patients are extremely ill, so experts believe that between 40% and 50% of patients die after going on ventilation, regardless of the underlying illness.”

Guo Wengui predicted this. Kind of crazy.

Especially since Trump actually brokered more peace deals/treaties.

It’s not illegal to discriminate by race for internships.

I’d love to see the aclu sue FANG over their Diversity programs. I highly suspect they are illegal in one way shape or form.

Society is becoming more right wing.

It’s what happens when people see less opportunities for them and their children.

The system as current stands doesn’t care about middle class white Westerners. A group who’s slowly becoming poorer and poorer.

Donald trump and people like him will continue to rise into power as the middle class is oppressed.

They can’t reject boys attending the girls club. If they did they’d likely loose a lawsuit.

However the organization’s programming can be very feminist, turning off boys.

I’ve also seen that FANG is actively discriminating against white men. I was asked to throw out all white male and Asian male resumes for an internship programs relatively recently.

I didn’t claim I bought an equivalent vehicle. I bought a vehicle which just “works”. And I avoided all the Tesla build quality issues.

I have a gas car / hybrid for the 100mile+ road trips we take once every 60 days.

And I have an EV for the daily driver. Nissan Leaf has more than enough range (for daily driving) cost 6-7k, insurance is $20/month, and I’ve yet to have any maintenance issues.

These issues were a major reason for me getting a non Tesla EV. Cheaper and it just “works”.

The “west” could absolve all foreign debt to China both in 1st world and 3rd world countries as payment for covid liability.

The only action China could do would be to start a world war 3 in response.

That’s one of the arguments for multi vendor sourcing. The same price negotiation tactic occurs in other industries.

It’s why google buys non intel chips. Come negotiation time there’s a serious threat they can leave. And there’s a serious rfp out to other vendors for pricing. Bringing their intel chip costs down.

There is. Try bumble BFF. https://bumble.com/bff

It’s a real role that’s hired in the Jewish community. Both to encourage in-faith marriages and to foster a sense of community. Usually one person for teens, another for young adults, and others for men’s club, woman’s club, newly parents, retirees...etc

It’s generally funded by synagogues and charity foundations.

I’d of thought the Christian churches/denominations have similar programs.

It could be unique to Jews due to historical and present anti-Semitism. E.g. Jews were (and still are in a few establishments) barred from many fraternities, country clubs, athletic clubs, summer camps...etc

Not when you take global warming into consideration. Russia and Canada will have a lot more farm land in the near future.

I’m sure the USA will also unlock some new farming areas.
