IMO this is akin to how scientists developed thermodynamics to comprehend steam engines. Except now, AI could be on the forefront of forming conjectures and explanatory theories!
Hilarious that they still label it as a country variant, as if the variant carries a genetic “country” code that determines the origin. Plain stupidity.
[Edit] To elaborate since there is so much negativity to my original comment. There is no absolute proof that the variant originated in South Africa, so calling it by a country’s name is an insult to human intelligence. We refer to the virus as the Coronavirus and not the Chinese virus. Why should the variant be any different? (This variant being actually called 501.V2)
In our own experience, we pleaded the fact that those dollar figures are just beyond workable if you consider the fact that we come from a developing country and we're faced with ~20x jump. I.e. it heavily messes with the unit economics. The Google representative actually laughed in our face (via Hangout).
Good question. From a game theoretic perspective, agents (players) are assumed to be self-interested in a non-cooperative setting if I recall. Maybe someone can comment on this a bit further.
We've got so many beta requests, we can't process them fast enough. So, just refer as many people as you can, and we'll bump you up somewhere in the "waiting list". Ingenious. ;-)
Interfaces with the addition of default methods, in contrast to abstract classes, provide the inheritance of behaviour (but not state) from multiple sources.
In the current form, yes HaLVM requires Xen, therefore Xen on ARM support would be required too.
Xen on ARM [1] support is ongoing and from what I can tell, the repository [2] is flagged as unstable therefore certainly still requiring work.
[Edit] RaspberryPi has an ARMv6 CPU. The Xen site reads: "The Xen ARM Project, led by Samsung, is responsible for the direct port of the Xen hypervisor to the ARM processor. So far the focus of the project has been to use Xen Paravirtualization (PV) for a range of processors (ARM v5 - v7).".
This means that it should cover ARMv6 of course. As for the status, I have no idea.
Not to sure if anyone has mentioned this yet. If you run light table as client(browser)/server model, then effectively your sever could run in a cloud and your session would be reachable from any browser no matter where and what computer or smart phone/tablet you are on.
With things like ClojureScript and Meteor, this is very achievable today and a definite game changer. Exiting times we live in.
