Part of these issues are due to the in-app apple tax. Audiobooks and ebooks would be 15% more expensive.

Searching and buying audiobooks and ebooks works fine on Android where Audible is allowed to provide their own in-app payment system.


Could like point out the studies you mentioned?

The studies concerning long-term impact of surgical checklists I found all claim an improvement.

> Sustained use of the checklist was observed with continued improvements in process measures and reductions in 30-day surgical complications almost 2 years after a structured implementation effort that demonstrated marked, short-term reductions in harm. The sustained effect occurred despite the absence of continued oversight by the research team, indicating the important role that local leadership and local champions play in the success of quality improvement initiatives, especially in resource-limited settings.

The way they run these studies is crazy to me:

>Only 3 of 22 operating stations (13.6%) had a functioning pulse oximeter prior to the intervention; accordingly, a pulse oximeter (model 7500; Nonin Medical Inc) was installed at each operating station as part of the implementation effort

The addition of essential medical equipment surely won't bias our results!


One could argue the essential medical equipment was missing due to lack of checklists ensuring its existence. That said, yeah, it would have been better to do 2 separate studies then: one on adding the equipment and then one on checklists.


When you compare Cloud Run vCPU pricing with preemtible VMs it becomes nearly 13x the price.

Most use cases could trade startup delay for reduced costs by running GKE with preemtible nodes and Cloud Run on top of it. Otherwise "normal" Cloud Run and Cloud Run on GKE could be combined into a system where on the first request an instance on serverless Cloud Run is started and simultaneously an GKE Cloud Run instance of the same container is ramped up to take over.

GKE provides it's own dashboard integrated into the GCP console so there is no need for the standard Kubernetes dashboard.


Most model based UML tools provide this feature. You can create diagrams that show the different component in detail as a white box. In another diagram where you show the interaction between the components, you can reuse your white box diagrams as a single blackbox component object. Clicking on the blackbox element takes you to the white box view of the element.


To put things into perspective $150k 1889 would now be worth about $4.1mil [0]

You can but you have to deal with the latency between your host and the RDS instance hosted by AWS.


It will get even more interesting if you get decent federation support between your local GKE clusters and GCP GKE cluster allowing you to scale out to the cloud if you run out of capacity in your local cluster.


Exactly. This is really the beginning of multi-cluster scenarios that work well across different environments. Failover from on-prem -> GKE is something we're working on.


That would be great!

Depends on the latency between your DC and Google's, and the cost of traffic (which could be significant).


Which is where Google's network comes into play.


Perhaps not surprisingly, this is where Istio excels..


Individual projects without a GCP organization association are probably treated as consumer accounts.


That is correct. CC billing and individual projects could be consumer level usage. Anyone can signup for this level account and use for whatever purpose. Offline invoicing and G Suite / Organization setup / domain validation / enterprise support could be thought of as enterprise and would come with assurances such as billing payment stability.


What are you talking about? Are you representing Google in some way?

We have significant spend on CC with GCP and we’re not “consumers”. Our account manager has no issue with this. If they did we’d move somewhere else.
