You can sideload Terraform providers so you don't need to do this. I personally recommend the [implicit local mirror directory](https://www.terraform.io/docs/cli/config/config-file.html#im...) where you just place your provider in your OS's respective Terraform plugin directory (MacOS: `$HOME/.terraform.d/plugins/`).
There's other ways to sideload providers on that docs page too
This looks great! The demo currently shows front poses only, can it also do other poses? Instead of a virtual fitting room, could you use this to generate product images with models? Would the pricing be different since you're delivering a set number of images (generated once) instead of a widget that generates different combinations?
Also, what's the smallest store you're willing to work with (min # of SKU)?
"product images with models" Some of our customer has requested this service and we are doing it for them. There is difference: we use a large deep learning model that has higher latency and we do more QA on these images.
The pricing will be obviously more expensive. We charge slightly cheaper than market rate with more realistic image quality.
"Also, what's the smallest store you're willing to work with (min # of SKU)?"
There's not strict line. a store with a few hundred SKUs would work well. It depends on how shoppers's shopping habits: we noticed for smaller shop, shoppers more often come looking for specific items than browsing. Our product is more valuable for shopper with exploratory mindset.
I don't think it necessarily means "all ideas are the same". You're right -- some ideas may be better than others, but until they're executed successfully, they're just ideas.
ie: There were multiple ways that Google could have executed their goal of building a search engine (engineering, sales, etc). Even if you come up with a 'better' idea, it may not be successful/valuable if you execute it poorly and make the wrong decisions.
Except google's idea wasn't "search engine". Google's idea was "search engine that uses the PageRank algorithm". PageRank did not encompass all of the value of Google, but it did encompass much of it, and it was unequivocally part of the idea.
What you're effectively saying is that ideas have no value without good execution, which is of course true, but this is very different than saying they have no value, because after all, execution has no value without a good idea.
EDIT: Oh I see what you mean now. By "you", you actually mean me. No, I couldn't, because Google has parlayed their initial good idea into a monopoly based on network effects, specifically the accrual of proprietary data (clicks) which I have no access to.
If the value is in the idea, then multiple execution of the same idea should result in the same/similar values.
But... this isn't true irl, therefore the differences in value isn't in the idea but the execution
What I find interesting is that the second paragraph starts with:
>They point to how past major transformations in work tasks and labor markets – specifically the Industrial Revolution during the 18th and 19th centuries – did not lead to major social upheaval or widespread suffering.
Which is then followed by this in the 4th paragraph:
>The aftermath of the Industrial Revolution involved two major Communist revolutions, whose death toll approaches 100 million.
Land not owned by anyone is land that can be claimed by anyone. Which means that anyone can build a hut there and then legally claim the land as their own private property.
The first "relevant quote" is.. irrelevant to genetic data collection.
If you expand the second quote, it reads:
"the collection of information about the manifested disease or disorder of a family member shall not be considered an unlawful acquisition of genetic information"
As the article stated, genetic testing isn't forced upon employees. If you don't do it, you might have to pay an increase of up to 50% for health insurance or.. if your employer doesn't sponsor healthcare, they can deduct your paycheck.
"No, it's considered voluntary. Except that if you don't comply with the voluntary wellness program you will end up with a steep financial penalty.
In other words, it's mandatory."
"There's no difference between 'voluntary' and 'mandatory' if the penalty for not doing the 'voluntary' thing is so harsh that you can't afford to refrain."
--
You're right, there's nothing in this bill that explicitly forces your insurer to sequence your genome in the first place. HOWEVER, if a wellness program asked for your genome, and you denied it, then you would incur a heavy penalty. This is new.
I feel like you should have read further into the article, where the author attempts to back their claim, instead of jumping to conclusions.
"
>Roughly $2.50 to acquire and monetize a new user (and getting more expensive fast with v low and slowing growth)
>Each user generates $3 in ad revenue per year
>Each user costs them $3.25 in Google data center costs per year to store their pictures (so negative gross margin still at 150M users)
>Plus another $1+ per user a year in R&D costs
>Plus another $1+ per user a year in G&A costs
Today the more users they get, the more money they lose. If they can double revenue per user, they are making profits. They need to more than quadruple the revenue per user to have the future profit stream to add up to $25B."
Ditto. It'll would be awesome if there was an ability to download the files you 'remixed' so you can self host.
It could serve as a great educational tool too. Something that would allow people who are overwhelmed to get their feet wet and 'build something functional'. Getting 'hello world' to print on a console is cool, but it won't excite someone as much as getting a live website to print 'hello world'.
