I wouldn't buy that - if there is a dead switch then sorry, I don't want to pay that with my business.

Exactly! You can get a bare minimum, like a virtual machine (EC2) or storage (S3), which probably enough for small and medium enterprises (SME). However, if we move beyond, I'm not sure as I don't have experience with them. Now, if I'm building a prototype, I want something quick and just a lack of Cognito is a deal breaker.

The biggest elephants in the room are cloud providers, but I didn't find an easy alternative yet (hetzner, ovhcloud). ATM, the idea to the business is sold, that data resides somewhere near by in a datacenter, EU proximity. However, the EU businesses are realising that, well, whole region is at a mercy of one person.

Surprising?

Not one of these, but I tried on a small, Lithuanian, language. The catch is what the language has complicated grammar, but not as bad as Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian. I asked to summarise some text and it does the job, but the grammar is not perfect and in some cases, at a foreigner level. Plus, it invented some words with no meaning. E.g. `„Sveika gyvensena“ turi būti *atnemitinamas* viso kurso *vykišioje*.`

One way to test this is through a placebo test, where you shift the treatment, such as moving it to an earlier date, which I have seen used successfully in practice. Another approach is to test the sensitivity of each feature, which is often considered more of an art than a science. In practice, I haven't observed much success with this method.

You can apply it to estimate the impact of any business decision if you have data, so not only IT companies can benefit from it. However, the problem arises when the results don't align with the business's expectations. I have firsthand experience with projects being abandoned simply because the results didn't meet expectations.

If you take the population into account, it is only 2x more.

You can join an AWS partner, give them the credits in the exchange get virtual credits for a later consumption.

"The data, which looked at more than 700,000 fully vaccinated people in Israel, found that only .04 percent of people contracted Covid-19, according to the head of Israel’s Ministry of Health, Dr. Sharon Alroy Preis at a press conference on Thursday.

The type of vaccine Israel has mostly used is the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine with a small number of doses from Moderna. The two vaccines use the same technology, and in clinical trials were found to be about 95% effective. " https://edition.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-pandemic... Can you share your datasource claiming that efficacy is only 50%?

I wonder, can I get a dump of the data collected on me based on the European Law? Similar, that Facebook provides to everyone.

Robots and automation. I think in near future (put your number here) only cool jobs will be available for humans and shitty jobs will be done by robots. So, we need to find a way how to feed and entertain let say 90% of population.

Today I'm working on dataset of 1GB, which fits in memory. But it is not enough. If a variable is category/factor you need to introduce dummy values and your dataset starts picking the weight. Next - do you want apply ML algorithm in parallel? Upst, you need more memory. Done that? Now please use test dataset for prediction. My point that "data in memory" is just the beginning...

Diversification. VC most likely will be more risky or volatile and return of it won't be similar to S&P500. Main idea is to mix different asset classes - S&P500, VC, hedge funds, bonds and etc, to get smooth results during good and bad times.

Unless you run naked it is not free :) At least for me. I spend ~130 euros on running shoes every 4-5 month. Running gear requires investment as well - where I run temperature fluctuates from -12C to +32C so you need proper clothes. Plus, on long runs >20 km I have something to snack.

What's the point to credit middle man? Hacker news, reddit do the same (or even better), r-bloggers just rip off the content. Been there, done that.
