Let's not dream, let's get started! A few challenges (list gets longer every day, some asymmetric features), but I think it's a great idea. Since it's got to be grown/updated constantly, where should it live, maybe a github page? Benchmarks is pretty close via this: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/PerfKitBenchmarker I'm interested; what parts do you think you could contribute? It strikes me as a thing that's far more valuable if the community does it.
We're building a team of senior architects for breaking down interesting customer problems, building up technical solutions that help those customers succeed, and then publishing them for the world. We're the folks building this: http://cloud.google.com/solutions
Wow! I was instantly sure that this came down to someone at some DAW making a few million little tweaks on individual drum hits... Thanks for the correction and the detail!
I loved this movie, and immediately commented to a few movie-buff friends of mine that I was certain that they'd get an oscar for the sound editing. The actual movie edit was artful and amazing, but the sound edit.. talk about meticulous.. every single drum hit?! Called it! http://www.nabshow.com/thought-gallery/oscar-winner-ben-wilk...
Well, by typing out such a well thought out and complete answer, I'd say it's value as an interview question has been somewhat diminished. Otherwise, a great writeup!
Well, spot varies. Sometimes it's low, but the price varies based on demand. Using prices as of right now for example, Currently in California, c3.8xl instances are quite popular, running $1.68 an hour on an instance that's normally 1.912 an hour, roughly a 13% discount. 70% strikes me as better than 13%, especially when it's predictable. (and 70% below an already substantially lower hourly price...)
Strong recommendation from a frequent hirer: for each job, you should state what you accomplished, especially if that can be quantified. Supply the quantities! A list of what your responsibilities are is useless: did you actually do that stuff successfully?
Why is nobody addressing the neutrino coloration issues at the heart of the issue? We offer a private listening space ($599 an hour) unlike any other, lined with a few light-years of lead (substantially compressed) to prevent a minority of neutrinos from creating aberrant distortions in source material. Together with the vibration-reducing space-time deformation we create by putting this much mass in one place, we've heard from several noted audiophiles that this is the only true way to reveal the music the way the artist intended.
