![]() App Runner scales your active container instances up and down automatically to meet the processing demands of your application, and you pay only for the vCPU and memory used. You are only billed while your application is running, and App Runner makes it easy to pause and resume your application through the console, CLI, or API to help manage your costs. Pricing is per instance-hour consumed for each instance, from the time an instance is launched until its terminated or stopped. When requests come in, your application responds in milliseconds, and you pay for the vCPU and memory consumed by your active container instances as your application is processing requests. Best for websites built on development stacks like LAMP, LEMP, MEAN, Node.Js and that are unlikely to scale beyond 5 servers. When your application is idle, you pay per GB of memory for provisioned container instances which keep your application warm and eliminate cold starts. Amazon Lightsail is the easiest way to launch and manage a web server using AWS for a low, predictable price. You also select concurrency, a scaling metric that represents the maximum number of simultaneous requests that can be processed by an active container instance. When you create an application in AWS App Runner, you configure the amount of memory and vCPU required for your application to run. ![]() The new pricing for Reserved Instances is in effect today.With App Runner, you deploy and run your applications in container instances, which consume compute and memory resources. Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server licensing costs are included in the hourly EC2 rates. The new, lower prices for On-Demand instances are in effect as of July 1, 2017. Here are the largest price reductions for each region and instance type: Region and mobile applications even more cost-effectively than before. You can build and run enterprise-scale applications, massively scalable websites. Today we are reducing the On-Demand and Reserved Instance prices for Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition on EC2 running on R4, M4, I3, and X1 instances by up to 52%, depending on instance type, size, and region. It gives you control over every setting, just as you would have if you were running your relational database on-premises, with support for 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Microsoft SQL Server on AWS runs on an EC2 Windows instance and can support your application development and migration efforts. NET applications and SAP, and frequently use SQL Server. I4g instances deliver up to 15 better compute performance compared to similar storage-optimized instances. Their applications run the gamut from SharePoint sites to custom. Amazon EC2 I4g instances are powered by AWS Graviton2 processors and provide the best price performance for storage-intensive workloads in Amazon EC2. Customers like Adobe, Pitney Bowes, and DeVry University have all moved core production Windows Server workloads to AWS. ![]() We believe that AWS is the best place to build, deploy, scale, and manage Windows applications due to the breadth of services that we provide, backed up by our global reach and our partner ecosystem. T4g instances are the next generation low cost burstable general purpose instance type that provide a baseline level of CPU performance with the ability to burst CPU usage at any time for as long as required. Savings Plans Reduce your Amazon EC2 costs by making a commitment to a consistent amount of usage, in USD per hour, for a. Amazon EC2 T4g instances are powered by Arm-based AWS Graviton2 processors. ![]() Many enterprise workloads run on Microsoft Windows, primarily on-premises or in corporate data centers. Amazon EC2 provides the following purchasing options to enable you to optimize your costs based on your needs: On-Demand Instances Pay, by the second, for the instances that you launch. I’m happy to be able to announce the 62 nd AWS price reduction, this one for Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition on EC2. ![]() See Mix Selection for other applications.įor extra large cables use the FB400-31 which has an inside diameter of 3 inches (76mm). Use Mix 61 for VHF and above for RFI/EMI suppression and below 30 Mhz for multi-ratio impedance transformers (baluns/ununs). USE FB102-31 for 4 turns of RG-8X for 16X increase in Z per bead – see pictures below for examples). If you need more Z, just use more beads in series on the cable or use more windings thru a larger ID bead (e.g. Mix 31 has better response below 10 Mhz but above 10 Mhz mix 31 and mix 43 are very close. For 500 ohms we would need 5 mix 31 beads or 6 mix 43 beads to have greater than 500 ohms. For example if you have a 50 ohm RG-8 coax cable and want a choking impedance of 500 ohms at 10 Mhz, you can check the FB102 column (since FB102 will pass RG-8 through its center ID) at 10Mhz and find that Mix 31 has a Z of 108 ohms/bead and Mix 43 has a Z of 91 ohms/bead. Need a smaller power rating but with same, great common mode suppression? Try our 500 watt PEP rated Mini-Choker HERE Production Note: Maxi-Choker may be in Black or White color depending upon available inventory at time of shipment.Īpplication Note: Use impedances for each bead at your desired frequency to select number of beads needed for desired Z. Use the ground lug option for long coax antenna feed lines (over 1/2 wavelength at the operating frequency of any antenna system in the near field of the coax). Use an isolator every 1/2 wavelength for the antenna operating frequency (include velocity factor in calculation). ![]() This choke is available with a SO-239 input/output and ground/static bleeder stud (optional) for attachment to a ground rod. These chokes are very useful for suppressing RFI common mode current at the antenna feed point, at 1/2 wavelength intervals along the coax feed line and also at the entrance to the radio station. However, for 7mhz / tropical bands / utilities etc lower in frequency, if you had the room to double the size to 30 feet per side, Id say go for it to improve the lower bands even more. MAXI-CHOKER feed line chokes are used to suppress common mode current carried on the outside of the coax braid which is often responsible for receiver noise and RFI in the receiver/transmitter. The 15-foot square size is ok for me since I like the wide coverage of 160-20m without having 20m directivity go squirrely. 2-5 times more common mode noise rejection, wider bandwidth and higher power then competing filters Available with ground stud/static bleeder option for solving tough RFI issues - Available with dual stud/wingnut output for ladder line interface - Works for all coax fed antennas from 1.8-61 MHz (160-6 meters) - excellent for multi-band beams, verticals, dipoles and highly unbalanced off center fed antennas. MAXI-CHOKER Features: - Uses proprietary Multi-Mix, Multi-Core, Multi-Turn(TM) ferrite technology for maximum choking (up to -48 dB common mode noise rejection) and maximum bandwidth - Choose 3 KW PEP or 5KW PEP for heavy duty digital modes up to legal limit, 50 ohm SO-239 connectors In/Out, 1-61 MHz, usable to 100 MHz - Suppresses transmitter coax feed line radiation when installed at antenna feed point or reduces common mode receiver "noise" when installed at radio end of coax. ![]() This caused some people to allege that Lewis copied Pitaka. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pitaka themselves claimed that Unbox Therapy had used their cases as a daily driver. Although in his Lew Later video he stated that he did not like cases from other companies, in the Pitaka video. The day before he uploaded his video on the Latercase, he deleted his video which contained his impressions of his Pitaka. On December 1 2019, Lewis uploaded a video on his product called Latercase which was very similar to a case he previously reviewed, the Pitaka case. These accusations led to Lewis quickly deleting all related content to the giveaway to hide the fact that these videos existed. Other YouTubers began making videos declaring Lewis’s giveaway a scam. This event helped him gain many subscribers in the hopes that one of them winning an iPhone.Ī few months passed, and several people picked up on the apparent scam and posted the possible deception on various internet communities. However, by Februonly 9 iPhones that we knew of had been shipped to winners. With the video appearing to show many iPhone boxes. On October 2 2015, Lewis uploaded a video to his Unbox Therapy channel claiming that he was going to give away hundreds of iPhones. The media attention surrounding the controversy made Apple take action, and they strengthened the metal chassis for its iPhone 6S and future aluminum iPhones while providing replacements to those afflicted by the original’s poor design. To prove the video’s legitimacy, Lewis uploaded 3 minutes long, uncut version of the video. However, Hilsenteger blamed the apparent time-travel incident on its production, specifically the mix of angles that his video uses. Some had questioned Lewis’s video as being fake, since at about the 1:38 mark of the video, the iPhone's clock reads "2:26" and then it reads "1:58" 40 seconds later. This event gained national attention from various news outlets. Lewis made a video which showed him bending an iPhone 6 with his hands using extreme force, to this day, his bend gate video is still his most popular video on the channel, featuring over 70 million views. All of this out-of-pocket purchasing eventually paid off for him as he is now able to open cool new things every day for a living. Eventually, lost a business opportunity in the unboxing side of YouTube being a tech guru himself, he was already into buying new technological toys when he started doing unboxings, he originally was going out of pocket on everything and would simply film his reaction and give his two cents about the product. Hilsenteger realized that the conversations he was having with people that came into the shop asking questions could be answered really well in videos and this got him started. The shop focused solely on upgrades for Apple computers. Hilsenteger started Unbox Therapy when he was working in a small computer repair shop. After gaining 90K subscribers however, he deleted all the videos on there and turned the channel into a podcast. He also used to have a music-related channel called Lew Later. Hilsenteger has abandoned his old MORE TOP 5 channel for over 2 years. This includes him unboxing phones, unusual devices and more. On his main channel, he primarily uploads about him unboxing technology.

In everyday language, many words keep specific company ( Firth, 1957 Sinclair, 1991). Next, we develop these arguments in more detail and report two experiments, using evaluative priming procedures ( Fazio et al., 1986) as a measure of implicit associations.īiases in Language and Associative Learning If the company words keep is sufficient to elicit implicit associations, words like cause should elicit implicit negative evaluations despite their neutrality on explicit measures of valence. For example, the verb cause is rated as neutral in explicit measures of valence but typically occurs alongside negative words (the most common noun collocates within four words to the right are death, problems, damage, pain, cancer, trouble, concern, disease, effect, harm Hauser and Schwarz, 2016). The present studies avoid this ambiguity by drawing on semantically prosodic words that satisfy two criteria: (1) human raters consider them neutral words that do not have clear positive or negative valence, thus indicating that humans do not endorse these words as being positive or negative, but (2) corpus analyses indicate that these words overwhelmingly keep valenced company. This ambiguity renders it difficult to determine whether word embeddings exert a causal influence on implicit associations, as Caliskan and Lewis (2020) highlighted. Unfortunately, words’ biased company is also related to propositional knowledge, and consciously endorsed beliefs may guide both language use and implicit associations. This observation invited the hypothesis that biased company in language may be a key contributor to implicit bias in human minds (for a review, see Caliskan and Lewis (2020)). For instance, female-related words are more likely to occur in family related contexts than are male-related words, whereas male-related words are more likely to occur in science-, technology-, engineering-, and math-related contexts than are female-related words ( Caliskan et al., 2017 Lewis and Lupyan, 2020). In natural language use, the company many words keep is biased in ways that mirror human implicit biases. ![]() “You shall know a word by the company that it keeps.”Īs Firth (1957) noted, words tend to keep certain company, and the company they keep guides how we understand them ( Landauer and Dumais, 1997 Mikolov et al., 2013). Societal implications of the causal embedding hypothesis are discussed. That neutral concepts with valenced collocates parallel the influence of valenced concepts suggests that their collocations in natural language may be sufficient for fostering implicit bias. Throughout, neutral primes with positive (negative) collocates facilitated the evaluation of positive (negative) targets much like strongly valenced primes, whereas neutral primes without valenced collocates did not. We use such semantically prosodic concepts to test the influence of collocation on the emergence of implicit bias: do neutral concepts that frequently collocate with valenced concepts have corresponding implicit bias? In evaluative priming tasks, participants evaluated positive/negative nouns (Study 1) or pictures (Study 2) after seeing verb primes that were (a) strongly valenced (e.g., hate and comfort), (b) neutral in valence but collocated with valenced concepts in corpora (e.g., ease and gain), or (c) neutral in valence and not collocated with valenced concepts in corpora (e.g., reply and describe). For example, when asked, most people evaluate the concept “cause” as neutral, but “cause” is frequently followed by negative concepts (e.g., death, pain, and trouble). Concepts that are themselves neutral in valence but nevertheless collocate with valenced concepts provide a unique opportunity to address this question. It is unknown whether such collocations merely reflect societal biases or contribute to them. White American) names collocate with negative (vs. science-) related concepts, and African American (vs. Societal biases often emerge in these collocations e.g., female (vs. In everyday language, concepts appear alongside (i.e., collocate with) related concepts. There's also a History option where you can view all your recently converted files, good news if you've forgotten where they were saved. Open the program and the last file converted is named, with a link to its folder. Previous conversions are also handled well. It's kicked off with a click you're able to pause or cancel the conversion of one or all your files the program runs its conversions very quickly, and opens the destination folder immediately afterwards for you to browse the results. The conversion process is better designed. There are no options to set resolution, codec, bitrates or anything else: just a single "Quality" setting with four options (Best, Good, Average, Bad). What you don't get here is any real control of the converted file. These may then be converted to your chosen audio or video format, or you can just choose a profile for your destination device (iPad, iPhone, Xbox, Sony PSP, and others for Samsung, Blackberry, Nokia and more).

By having your port forwarded your priority will go up and your download speed will increase drastically. Without port forwarding, those connections will be blocked by your router, and you will get a low priority from other seeds. Port forwarding allows incoming uTorrent connections to come directly to your download client, which is exactly what you need for a peer-to-peer program like uTorrent to work correctly. Why do I need to forward my uTorrent Listening Port? If your uTorrent Listening Port does not test open, then this is the most crucial of all steps necessary to optimize your uTorrent experience. Port Forward Your uTorrent Listening Port ![]() You will need to forward your uTorrent Listening Port to the download client that is running uTorrent. If these ports are not open, you are likely behind a device that has NAT or a firewall. Follow the steps listed on our Port Checker Help Page. Using our Port Checker Tool, you will need to check if your specific uTorrent Listening Port is open for both TCP and UDP. These websites only tell you if a TCP Connect was successful, and have no way of detecting if UDP packets can get through. There are many websites that have open port checker tools, but these aren't guaranteed to give you an accurate report of which ports are open. So, why do we so strongly recommend our Open Port Check Tool? Our port checker is the best on the Internet because you will never get a false-positive result. There are many ways to check if your port is open and available around the Internet. We recommend downloading our free Open Port Check Tool to test if incoming connections are being allowed through your router on your uTorrent Listening Port. Before moving forward to things like selecting torrents, seeders, and leachers, we need to verify that your port is open. If it is, right-click on it and choose "Exit". Make sure that the green uTorrent icon is not still hiding in your notification area (next to your clock). If uTorrent is currently open, you will need to completely close it at this time. Check if Your uTorrent Listening Port is Open You do not want the port that you need to forward changing each time uTorrent starts. Also, Make sure that the Randomize port each start checkbox is not checked. Note that each install of uTorrent uses a different port, so your port will likely be different than the one shown above. Make a note of it, because that is the port that needs to be open for uTorrent to work effectively for you. You should see your uTorrent Listening Port listed in the upper right of the Preferences dialog box. Now in the Preferences dialog box, select Connection. You can find your uTorrent listening ports by clicking Options and selecting Preferences. The first step in getting uTorrent to work properly is finding your uTorrent Listening Port. After you've installed uTorrent you are ready to start optimizing. Double click " uTorrent.exe" and you will start the installation process. You should have downloaded a file named " uTorrent.exe".
