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 certain functions much easier to do on a routine basis, but they are less flexible than the functions they represent, and thus you end up with creating more and more abstractions, cases for them and at the end, end up with the same or more chaos than you had in the beginning.

This results in what I'd say futile work being done trying to fight it without even realising. You can't do something complex with less, or it wasn't that complex in the first place.

To make a truly malleable system, is to make a fractal, which is by definition impossible to solve. A problem(fractal) always requires a problem-area and accuracy in order to solve it, in that accuracy. There is _always_ an equal or worse tradeoff.

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 really raise any kinds of emotion

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

>We do things to convince ourselves of our qualities

This just seems like basic logic though? If you want to be X and Y provides the means, then it makes sense to do it right? There can't be a hidden agenda if you're actively pursuing it

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

Quite! Though at first the goal is to create vaccines that affect multiple strands and are likely to be vulnerable to in the future

There is research going into their more fundamental structure to try and defeat their whole family at once

>why would clothes shopping be essential?

I'm fairly certain you'll freeze to death without them. Broken & torn clothes are bad at keeping you warm.

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 to_ work as much to achieve the same quality of life

> self-checkout

A self-checkout is not automation, it's simply transferring the same amount of work from the paid employee to the customer

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/4hrs. It's well within a couple high-powered servers even in the worst case

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?

A thing to keep in mind is AWS's major outobound traffic costs, at $90/TB. So taxiing the data oversea might not be affordable either

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 needed.

A great in-between is to simply have a backup server ready to go in a few minutes time. Super simple compared to orchestrated container system.

Of course for client projects that spec out a certain number of 9's must be done just so, but can also be billed accordingly.

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't appreciate how much pain something takes if it can be achieved for less. Much like opting to use a bucket for water transport instead of pipes, it's just silly.

Just to point it out

> if multiple instances write data at the same time there is a risk of data being overwritten and becoming inconsistent. Please ensure you fully understand what it takes to set up and run a cluster-aware file system before you attempt to use this feature

> (minus healthcare, but that's unrelated

I think healthcare is very related to the standard of living

If it's lowest massively-available price then this

>most of the time DRAM has not been available at these prices.

should make it not the floor. If the floor doesen't have to be available, then what's the exact point it becomes relevant? Otherwise the price is simply misleading

You've been maintaining the language by calling your parents every now and then

I'd argue nobody can add anything not a combination of other things

Would you appreaciate these images if you thought they were made by a person?

>Do you want to improve SEO or do you want a safe semi-private public space?

You're implying they're somehow inversely related. A site can be well represented even when it's users contents are not on display

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

If it doesen't have to be available, i could sell one stick for $0.01 and that'd be the new floor

>Software fails partially much less often than physical things. If only this were true. The worst kind of errors are the silent kind. They're just correct enough not to crash or notify anything, but wrong enough to corrupt results
