Why do you assume they had your sense of ethics? 10 was often considered the age of adulthood. Little men had no specific exception from work or war, or expectation of education outside specific classes. Being a regular troop was more often from 16, but plenty fought from 10 up or had other roles in battle.

> If their prices aren't changing then we have a market problem that extends beyond AWS.

How do you get there? Even in markets without any specific lock in, the top brands charge prices that have nothing to do with raw costs.

No, Moore's law is fine. If the CPU takes half the real estate and uses half the power but costs the same it is the same perversion of the market expectations of Moore's law as if you don't deliver twice as much in the same price.

From Wikipedia:

Some forecasters, including Gordon Moore,[122] predict that Moore's law will end by around 2025.[123][120][124] Although Moore's Law will reach a physical limit, some forecasters are optimistic about the continuation of technological progress in a variety of other areas, including new chip architectures, quantum computing, and AI and machine learning.[125][126] Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared Moore's law dead in 2022;[2] several days later, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger countered with the opposite claim.[3]

Price is supposed to cut in half every 3-4 years, if it isn't it is largely because cloud vendors can't bear to take less and hope there really is that much more volume of half as valuable computing to do.

The things they sell as an average CPU performance, etc are basically the average when their cloud began.

Is hurricane alley going to pay this wonderful 20k more and is it worth it to live there? I know Europeans who went there but not who stayed. Those are terrible places to actually work.

The car EVs try to be in a price class above a Toyota subcompact so I think they can't really compete for the taxi volume, etc, before any logistics.

EVs would be fine with a few hours of outage here and there, but the light EVs are going to be easier to move to battery swapping if needed and are price competitive with vehicles in classes that already sell well in the Philippines.

I've known people to go back on vacations who probably shouldn't, but an outsider, weakly under the protection of a foreign country, who doesn't seem like they are going to get back into their old life is usually not a political priority.

Oh wow, 20k a year makes anything worth it.

There are thousands of definite targets. People don't actually plan maybe crimes with coconspirators unless they want to be maybe dead.

Huh? Whistleblower programs exist to defend them and fail to combat the problem, one that directly punishes would be like a bounty program that actually crafts the legal threats to security researchers.

I think suspicion of bug bounties even from organizations who would clearly benefit the nost from doing them right are well founded and you are over simplifying the situation.

Every organization includes a mess of situations where the overall best interest of the organization no longer comes through. Groups and individuals don't want to admit mistakes both personal and in wider senses and have alliances, competitions, team and organizational loyalty that twists their behavior.

A lot of organizations know they would benefit from having a proper whistle blower program and then proceed to crucify the first person who uses it.

A donut is about a half hour of jogging. If a Little Rock breakfast is like the rest of that neighborhood most of the sedentary thin thin state people I know wouldn't be able to keep it down.
