The reality at scale is that all cloud VMs are preemptible and unreliable. You can pay more to increase the probability of uptime but inevitably have to recover from failure sometimes.

Facebook Free Basics was quickly blocked in India https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-regulator-netneutra...

Kind of? Companies like Salesforce, Shopify, etc. are still poster children of SaaS and their software is certainly not simple.

There are definitely tons of the type of company you’re talking about though.

Especially for products with higher levels of network effect.

They're using Cloudflare. When I resolve them from the east coast, I got a San Francisco server once and a server in Budapest once. They have a server in Toronto, Ashburn, Montreal, and other places that are closer.

I know geodns works here since I use it for some of my own deployments.

Definitely true - usually you don't have a choice though due to vesting schedules and/or illiquid markets pre IPO.

A risk parity approach would say more like 95% to 5%, but that works too.

The variance in potential outcomes of holding VOO is much, much lower than the variance of holding crypto.

Buying VOO buys a share of the profits of the work of many millions of people. It also speculates that other people will continue to want to buy those profits.

Buying a token only speculates that more people will want to buy that particular token. It's much harder to project that people will continue to want it.

Owning a small slice of a business where you're employed can also help make you rich if it grows a lot. In the tech world there are probably more financially independent employees than founders, because of the growth of some massive companies over the last few decades and high salaries. Probably a different story in the UHNW category though, very few employees can get to that level.

This seems somewhat plausible, but how do you know these organizations have anything to do with OnlyFans?

Obviously there is no perfectly accurate machine for any application.

The extent it will be inaccurate depends on a lot of factors, such as tool length, material parameters, feeds/speeds, etc. You can probably cut aluminum somewhat accurately on this if you take extremely slow cuts, with a tiny tool spinning at an extremely high RPM (which keeps cutting forces to a minimum). Surface finish would still be pretty bad simply due to vibration of the arm. Likely going to break a lot of tools too. The majority of metal cutting setups you would do on a mill are simply impossible on this machine.

For a few tiny cuts, it might be handy to have one of these, but it definitely seems more useful as a 3D printer, plotter, etc. Though even most 3D printers are significantly more rigid than this design.

I find it very easy to tune my YouTube recommendations. If I open my homepage I see quality content on machining, optical physics, ML, jazz theory, battery tech, chip fab, interior/exterior design, rocket nozzles, etc… and not a single contorted face.

Different platforms for different things. I never use TikTok, because the video media I consume is almost always long form informative content. YouTube is the only media giant with a large supply of this, and it continues to accrete such creators and content faster than anywhere else.

That definitely makes sense for logins.

Physical.

For reference, using native 1Password 7 on an M1 Air, the main background app is using 190.8 MB and there's another 26 MB split across two other processes...

Most likely because credit card forms are very often served in iframes. 1Password fills iframes too (though maybe only for cards, not sure).

It might be fair to characterize some products traded on CME as gambling products, because people often use them to gamble. Though of course cash settled futures have other purposes too.

I’m sure you can also find instructions on how to make a DIY tracker that’s even more effective for stalking.

The Seiko 5 movement is reasonably thin but often packaged into a large case. You might not have the thinnest Seiko 5.

That's what you wrote originally - and to me it doesn't indicate whether it can also be updated from other sources or not.

Lots of content is shipped in the iOS image but can update independently.

Is the database frozen or can they push out updates independently of iOS updates? If not, targeting individual users definitely doesn't seem possible unless you control OS signing.

Steel makes sense for extreme durability - I suppose you could use extremely thin steel wire for in-ears to make it flexible, though it might require a very special alloy to be thin and low resistance?

In my experience, litz wire is exceptionally flexible and suitable for getting shoved in a pocket frequently. Each wire can be quite thick due to the flexibility.

I use litz wire for headphone cables. For a cable that's constantly on you, there's always some chance something happens unexpectedly. I've broken my share of earpods.

Buying a $10M painting is a lot more work than holding $10M in cash, but it does make sense as a store of value given fiat inflation.

Buying gold is also easier than buying paintings, and buying gold ETFs is even easier. As is buying stock, bonds, etc. It's easier to hedge societal collapse by buying high value necessities (though who can truly predict how a collapse will unfold).

I think there's a certain kind of person who can be a great art investor by having a good idea of what art is going to retain interest (and thus value), but I would not call it easy compared to index funds or most other popular stores of value.

There are multiple large Rails services (I'd guess GitHub included) that internally have a majority of contributors in favor of an API first approach, but it's not mandated absolutely.

Shopify has a component boundary interface in Ruby that can be reflected into with GraphQL, and a lot of features are built for GraphQL first anyway. First party client side apps demand it. A lot of internal services use GraphQL to talk server-server as well.

However, there's still a good chunk of monolithic logic left that hasn't been refactored yet. Refactoring efforts are mostly JIT when demanded.

There are art investors/speculators, museums, etc. who obtained money through legit means.

Art in the millions is definitely an exclusive market though, and I'm sure draws various unsavory people.

> the art of it is something discovered and shared

That’s what microtonal harmonic structures feel like to me, in the present day. Exploration and sharing of a new but familiar frontier. Even when done digitally.

There's one scene where a guy dies because his voice control malfunctioned and he couldn't use the manual controls because he was under too many Gs of acceleration.

As the sibling comment says, I mean you can access them from several countries.

Collateral requirements vary by asset and account country according to national law. Generally it’s 50% LTV on equity collateral but leverage can be higher depending on the case.

I paid for a house with their margin to avoid triggering gains on long term positions, while waiting for some locked up options to liquidate.
