> AWS has a billing dashboard that exactly says where money goes
Only if you know how to dig to see anything more detailed then a vague product name like EC2
You’d think being charged 1,500 per month for “near zero usage” would motivate you to dig.

Nice. I made something similar ~6 years ago, yours is a lot better though.
Whataboutism. The truth is that neither China nor India will ever reach the cumulative emissions of the US, probably by a very large margin. Those who have already put the most CO2 into the atmosphere have the greatest moral responsibility to become CO2-negative yesterday – and to do everything they can to help other, less wealthy countries do likewise.
Your claim doesn’t seem as definitive as you present it, for China and US at least.
Comparing China and the US it seems like theres a 150 billion ton difference in the cumulative emissions.
Most recent data shows China emitting ~8 billion tons more than the US annually. At that rate that’s about ~20yrs until they flip.
China’s emissions appear to increasing exponentially YoY whereas the US has seen reductions in recent years. That makes it seem like they’d flip in less than 20 years.
Obviously, the emissions on a per capita basis are still nowhere close.
Even so, wouldn't you expect that you could crush an open empty beer bottle by putting a heavy enough weight on it? A human can't do it, but I would expect an elephant can.
The pressure inside the bottle is the same as the outside. So it’s not the same as stomping on an empty bottle.
I live in the most urban environment that exists in my country and get significantly more physical activity than the car-dependent rural dwellers in my family. As it is, I am almost 40 and have never owned a car, cities are great.
That probably means you are an outlier.
One thing I see, is that people in urban environments typically opt-in to exercise (like voluntarily going on a run). Whereas those in more rural areas have more physical demanding jobs and responsibilities.
I’m an urban-based desk jockey who exercises a lot but it doesn’t really compare to my more rurally-based friends who are on their feet working blue collar jobs 5 days a week.
Wouldn't that cause heavy distortion in the image though?
I know very little about MRIs, but it seems likely that they could recalibrate the machine and effectively adjust for something small.
Not removing it sounds dangerous though.
that seems very short
It is fairly short, but seems like enough time to get a baseline of habits across nearly 90,000 participants.
people tend to care about decompression speed - xz can be quite slow decompressing super compressed files whereas zstd decompression speed is largely independent of that.
People also tend to care about how much time they spend on compression for each incremental % of compression performance and zstd tends to be a Pareto frontier for that (at least for open source algorithms)
This makes sense. A lot of end-users have internet speeds that can outpace the decompression speeds of heavily compressed files. Seems like there would be an irrational psychological aspect to it as well.
Unfortunately for the hoster, they either have to eat the cost of the added bandwidth from a larger file or have people complain about slow decompression.
Sitting at 91% platform uptime over the last 90 days, which is likely inflated due to the perfect uptime over December holidays. My guess is that is attributed to an internal code-freeze and generally reduced traffic.
None of their services have 99.9% availability.
