> The author can barely contain his hatred for the politics of Signal's founder (about which I know nothing outside this article.)

It's especially bizarre since the author's only reference to the founder's "confused and useful idiot politics" is that the founder claims that regimes in Belarus, Russia, Venezuela, China are authoritarian and that there are human rights abuses elsewhere. That claim seems not only reasonable, but also perfectly consistent with still being suspicious about US surveillance policy.

Yes!

If I understand correctly, the instances available are containerized instances that users run (i.e, the system matches hosts to guests and takes a cut).

Beyond being dangerous on multiple levels, there doesn't seem to be any guarantee of storage or network bandwidth/traffic. Having a multi-TFLOP GPU to train with is hardly useful if you can't get the training data on the device in a reasonable amount of time, or hold that data in local storage.

Hetzner has a single 1080 for 99 EUR a month: https://www.hetzner.de/dedicated-rootserver/ex51-ssd-gpu

I would consider that pretty performant for a task such as this on a phone.

I don't know, I would much rather be in Bratislava or Bucharest than Pittsburgh (the only one out of your list I've been in) in terms of quality of life, income, and opportunity.

Language is a different story though...

>in particular, so-called mining pools, headed by a handful of individuals, are very influential.

He mentioned that.

And for options utilizing grammar of graphics (really worth knowing, even if you're not coming from the R world) you have ggplot and plotnine, which are both sort of ports of ggplot2 from R.

Academia? The author is a journalist.

I'm not sure if this is really relevant, but recently I've been looking into something similar: trying to find a decent, self-hosted, simple "real-time chatbox" to add to my site instead of the various online options. Anyone know of something good for this?

To be fair, there are some instances where GC has unique technological advantages compared to VPSes. Their new distributed ACID SQL database comes to mind.

There are various mature options for scheduling jobs with dependencies between them.

Why did you choose to write your own, regardless of the language?

Anyone using an asynchronous python library? Interested in how that's shaping up.

I remember that program! Interesting though that my experience with it was different; I recall that letting it run for enough time it was able to come up with viable and often quite efficient build orders. By the way, I do seem to remember that putting 2 probes on an extractor was slightly more efficient (per probe) than 3 :)

Are you guys confident that this can beat the market (i.e Betfair)? I would highly suspect that the answer is "not at all". Does this affect you?

The webserver Caddy also offers similar functionality

Why aren't decimal odds used, a-la the established betting exchanges? The system is equivalent without having to dedicate pages to explain confusing terminology.

> Graham writes another article on a subject about which he knows little, and in doing so quotes Stiglitz as advocating a silly "fallacy".

Ceph doesn't seem to support (serializable) transactions (correct if wrong), which is kind of the whole point. In fact, how does it differentiate itself from Apache Cassandra etc? By storing arbitrary objects?

This is really cool! I guess the main competition in terms of similar purpose and guarantees is http://hyperdex.org/, although the add-on that enables transactions (quite critical...) is commercial.

This is not what the modern definition of "Anarchists" means at all.

What? He was a Zionist according to the classical "definition" and principles of the time. The varying uses of the word "Zionist" are confusing, yet nonetheless Einstein supported self-determination of the Jews in Mandatory Palestine.

>If it were just luck, the “supers” would regress to the mean: yesterday’s champs would be today’s chumps.

huh?

Who is the author? I can't find anything about him except for his real name and a self-description of "hacker". I'm confused why he thinks it's reasonable to create something so authoritative sounding as "crypto 101" without bothering to explain his credentials to do so.

Is the 1TB of data transfer enough for you?
