That is just the stroboscopic effect. It’s an artifact of your measuring tool. I’m not saying that your lights aren’t flickering but your tool is introducing a lot to this system and so you can’t use it as evidence.
Holy Jesus. Those things were chock full of security holes. If you used a web browser that arrived on a CD ROM you'd be advertising massive pwnability.
In fact, you could easily simulate this by using last year's Firefox.
I imagine that if this is widespread they'll be able to use spam-filtering style stuff to get data from reliable accounts like mine (lots of reviews, location history on for decades, etc.) to override this stuff.
An interesting reminder that all crowdsourced data does suffer from operating in an adversarial space. Wikipedia to Traffic.
Well, that doesn't sound impossible. After all, it's what the dollars are attached to.
Think about it: if you want to implement an echo server that can't be cracked to view previous things it echoed, you could probably do it quite well. Now imagine I bring a billion dollars, and some more requirements, and I hire a few hundred people to work with you on this, and some of them are security consultants, and some are compliance guys who want the echoed text saved for compliance, and some others are privacy experts who want the echo text inspected by DLP software so that you aren't sending PII.
I rate former you more likely to succeed than latter you. In the first problem, it's technical. In the second, it's organizational.
I suspect the 50 mil / month guys will choose between AWS/Azure/GCP based on credits + discounts because all these clouds will be around 10 years from now. But it's true that I have no experience at that level (only from 0 to 9 mil / month) and the calculus could be completely different. I don't actually know if they could get greater commitments at that spend but it sounds likely. That's more than half a billion a year. Huge.
Perhaps someone who's made the decision on that can share.
This was genuinely not a factor when we signed a 1E8 deal with GCP. What was a factor: (non-exhaustive)
* Access to their developers for core services
* Discounts available
* Quality of support
* Access Controls / Audit / Budgeting
* Dev Tools around Infra
* Future Roadmap
Not one of us ever would have chosen the shutdown of Plus/Reader/Wave as a factor. As a startup we hard pivoted in order to succeed. No surprise that members of the population of products have to die for the population itself to survive.
And the group making these decisions are a bunch of Unixheads who were some of the first members on The Old Reader. We made a few hundred million bet that GCP will be around and capable for the next five years (and probably for the five after). I am confident this will play out in our favour. I'd put money down except for the fact that I already did effectively by recommending the deal.
Not for the times involved, right? If you want to leave late on Friday and leave late on Sunday to maximize the day time you're spending then it's comparable.
What's bike theft like in Copenhagen? I have two bikes but I drive to brunch because I'm afraid of losing my bike to a thief and parking is easier to deal with than having to carry my lock.
Yeah, but if the marginal cost of the next message is higher than the marginal expected increase in revenue then they won’t. It doesn’t matter optimizing inbox delivery rates if per-delivery you lose money.
Or user accidentally archived it. “X did Y” is often a user’s way of saying “I accidentally made X do Y” without having to accept blame. It’s the “dog ate my homework” of excuses.
Brave is such a clever concept. I'm just mad I didn't think of it. But then again, they've got some heavy technical firepower behind it.
I think they're genuinely doing all the right things:
* Opt-in advertising
* Client-side advertising
* Using a cryptocoin to avoid the microtransaction payment processor problem
They will probably do fine having had a very successful ICO but I can't imagine anyone actually donating meaningful amounts of money to any site. After all, you can just get it for free.
It's just like any other skill, you just practise it. There was a time when I couldn't integrate some problems, and then there was a time where I could integrate e^ax times sin (bx) automatically without even thinking about the process. I just practised by observing and now everyone thinks I'm good at interaction.
