Learn by Doing [Volume 16]: Aurora Serverless the Good, the Bad and the Scalable
If LEO was off-the-books collaborating with Backpage to allow prostitution while catching the child exploitation, that'd be a somewhat diabolical attempt at fixing a criminalization problem by turning it into a de-facto legal-and-regulated market (without legislative action to make it an actual legal-and-regulated market).

If that is, in fact, what was happening, it's kind of shame that some Congresspeople with bad strategic reasoning upset that apple cart; that'd be a superior state of affairs to one where both the prostitution and the child sex trafficking happen in the dark, beyond the reach of LEO intervention.
There's no correct answer, so I think you do the best you can with the information you have. Most of the time, people want their family to be notified in case of emergency so I would think that would be the default course of action. I'd be more troubled by a hospital or doctor making medical decisions for me without trying to contact family.

How would you handle it? Say you are in a park and you see somebody drop from an apparent heart attack. Do you start CPR or do you stand there wondering if maybe they have a do-not-resuscitate order on file somewhere?
No inventor sat down at a blank slate and said "Hey, let's string 700KV power lines across the country on huge towers".

Overhead powerlines developed gradually from an overhead line running power from one side of someone's lab to the other, to power running between buildings, to city wide distribution and beyond. As time went on, the powerlines got larger and higher voltage.

There aren't a lot of options -- underground powerlines are possible, but they have their own disadvantages so are not a clear-cut winner.
Stop me when you’ve seen this one: Prime contractor is a one or two-person shop. They don’t do any work, but subcontract the entire contract to the huge company that is doing the actual work. The prime contractor’s job is to be an Alaskan Native American-owned or Female Amputee-owned or some other underrepresented minority-owned business so the government can say they work with minority-owned businesses. The prime does nothing but pass communications back and forth and skim $$$.
I'm a native Swedish speaker and I always thought they meant having another child. The issue isn't the term "baby" being ambiguous, it's the phrasing.
Keep it up, dude! Cutting out carbs and especially sugar, while getting outdoor exercise, allowed me to drop from 224 lbs to 180 in 9 months and then down to 160 in the following months when I started high intensity training. Losing weight is life changing and everyone treats you better the slimmer you are.

I think that any diet that doesn't limit carbs and nearly eliminate sugar intake is severely flawed. That's not to say weight can't be lost on a high carb diet, but it takes a lot more effort and still puts one at risk for diabetes. I also think that people who tried keto and claim it didn't work were doing it wrong; one of the problems I ran into was low potassium intake, which made me feel sick. Just adding some potassium, even if it's from a banana here and there, makes a ton of difference.
That's pipelined time, not per-car time. Just because a car is produced every 3 minutes does not mean it takes 3 minutes to produce - that would be incredible.
> It's not a personal attack if it is directed at a company or the actions of a company rather than at a person.

Splitting hairs perhaps? “Jerks” is intended to be an insult no matter how many people you’re talking to or about.

> it’s purpose is not to explain the frustration but to signal the intensity

Sure, that’s a plausible assumption, but it doesn’t help the conversation, nor make it okay or socially acceptable to hurl insults. Are you certain that was the purpose? Have you clarified that with the author of the comment?

Perhaps a better way to signal intensity is to explain what material impact the decision has on their workflow and daily lives. What is the cost in terms or time or money, or something else?

> whether or not something is socially acceptable is up to society, not to you.

Yeah, that’s correct. Did I claim it was up to me? I stated a fact, not my personal opinion. Throwing insults around is not socially acceptable, according to society, not me.
I was going to say this too. Especially if you are huge enterprise.
What explains the vast price difference between App Engine standard and flexible environment? In the standard environment, $0.05/hr gives me a 128MB, 600MHz container. Flexible environment is priced at GCE pricing, giving me 3.75GB and 1 vCPU for the same price, before even applying committed use discounts. It seems hard to justify using the standard environment, even if scaling up/down is faster.
Hi, I couldn't agree more with the parent comment about the AppEngine docs. I built a fairly small app and it was utterly excruciating to sort out the nuances.

There should be right up front, a crystal clear page detailing the three possible environments.

- Legacy Standard (WITH A VERY CLEAR DEPRECATION NOTICE)

- Legacy Flexible (WITH A VERY CLEAR DEPRECATION NOTICE)

- Standard Second Generation GVisor

For example, in Python Standard (old standard), it's extremely confusing to work out which gcloud libraries are bundled, and which need to be vendored and packaged into the app (yes I know there is a page that tries to explain. It's unclear).

Thank you for working on the documentation. It is the number one area that GCP needs to invest in. All the technology is miles ahead of AWS in the core areas. The docs however, are very very far behind.

Happy to elaborate more if there's any specifics you need.
I'm sorry but that math makes no sense at all... It's a matter of throughput vs latency.

Who cares if it takes an extra 37 minutes per car, if they can maintain the same throughput, it won't matter a single bit (except possibly someone having to wait an extra 37 minutes to get their car...)

The extra time spent on manufacturing has as much to do with margins as the delivery truck getting stuck in traffic does. As long as it's not holding anything up, then there isn't an issue.

And it sounds to me like this is a temporary solutions while they fix the root cause, which seems like a really goddamn good idea vs just shutting the whole operation down and giving up.
You had NATO that suddenly lost its grounds when USSR collapsed. Just to keep it afloat you would need to invent new "enemy" for it. When remnants of USSR were in ruins Middle East was wildfired, that stopped people thinking "NATO, against whom?". After that China was assigned as an imminent threat. That passed too. And now Russia.

Any idea what will be the next excuse?
Log how much you eat at your current weight. Then eat less of that. Once you hit a new plateau you decide if you want to weigh even less. If so then eat less again.

I'm 35 pounds down from my high weight and have kept it off for 6 months now. I eat all the same crap (candy included). I just eat less of it.

It is only rocket science if you choose to make it rocket science.

> reducing calories is literally the only way you will ever lose weight.

That is demonstrably false.

If weight Z = X intake + Y energy expenditure, then you can reduce Z by keeping X the same and increasing Y.

Obviously diet has much more of an impact than exercise, but it's not true to say that the only way to lose weight is to eat less.

"Undoubtedly better for the environment than a carnivorous diet"

I think this quote is extremely dubious. How many of these companies study what the beyond organic movement is going with restorative agriculture. Having cows eat and poop grass is a really good thing for rebuilding what industrial farming has done to acres of land across the US.

This just smells of short cutting a process very similar to industrial farming that got us into this position to begin with.
25 Photography Composition Tips You Should Know
The obvious solution seems to have backfired.
Congratulations on your success.

However your story doesn't jive.

If you were eating 2000-2200 calories a day before and after losing the weight, there is something seriously wrong somewhere. The difference between 200 pounds and 350 pounds is... about 1500 calories per day.

Most people are really bad about tracking what they eat in their head. They think they're good at eating for sustenance. It's quite possible that changing to an Atkins-esque diet also cut out a lot of calories because you weren't eating bread or sugar anymore.

Just like a lot of people experience success going on Fuhrman's plan. You cut out bread, sugar, oils, most animal products. What you are left with just isn't that calorie dense. It becomes difficult to overeat calories because you just can't physically fit that much inside of you.

So while some of that may be true. There may be some variance in metabolism, nutrition labeling isn't 100% exact (and honestly, I don't see how it can be considering most of our methods of measuring are destructive so we're basing all values off of a sample), certain foods affect us differently. I don't believe that there is enough variance to account for some of the wild stories I hear like "I wasn't eating anything and not losing weight" or "I eat all day long and never gain a pound".

There's only been one Tarrare. Everyone else who has made that claim has been found to be mistaken about how much or little they eat.
I tried that before many times. in the end I ended up eating "wrong" food again. I guess changing meal variability means changing your lifestyle. Which is good, but harder for me than trying to put a measure on a food I already it.

I hate to be the Debbie Downer of spacetime and causality observation, but if I were in Brazil and had relatives in NYC, there's absolutely nothing that knowing about the 9/11 attacks occurring sooner could have done for me other than given me additional hours to wait anxiously for news from my loved ones.

Phone lines were jammed into the city (including cellular, because the circuits were saturated), and nobody was flying in or out of NYC. So unless someone in Brazil is secretly Clark Kent, there's 100% nothing they could've done to help or hinder the fate of the 9/11 victims in the hours after the attacks.

> They are being used to force through a policy that is not supported by either legislature or executive. That's not a function of a proper court.

They're asking the court to reverse the repealing of legislation, with the argument that the FCC should not have been allowed to repeal it because their legal reasoning was flawed.

Who is pushing policy? Was Obama pushing policy by instituting regulation? Was the FCC pushing policy by repealing it? Are the states pushing policy by trying to get the repeal revoked? Yes, Yes, Yes. Welcome to government.

It's all about pushing policy, any way you can. The system regulates the ability to push policy by allowing you to push policy, within the confines of the system, and gives you the tools to continually push or pull policy.

> Your side may temporarily win, but when the other side does the same, you end up with the broken system where nobody respects any decisions and the only thing that matters is which side you're on.

I re-watched the film Lincoln recently. It's basically about pushing for the 13th Amendment, well before it was politically tenable to adopt it. Bribery, back room deals, switching allegiances, concealing moves, political pressure, manipulation. Politics is the art of doing anything you possibly can to advance your agenda, to the exclusion of others' agendas. Your side doesn't even matter, it's what you can gain or lose that matters.
> The way Chinese government contacted the people was by being everywhere and nowhere - omnipresent, through the imperial civil service, and yet unseen.

What does everywhere and nowhere, mean, specifically, in the context of a society without telephony and electronic surveillance? What were the means for a local official to adapt policy in the face of pressures and demands from his local stakeholders? How were these pressures transmitted?

Again, happy to read scholarly works well versed in the way of Chinese governing here, this is probably "Basic Chinese government history 101" stuff. :)

It's easier for me to entertain the idea of treating ISPs like utilities, because it doesn't make sense for multiple companies to lay fiber to the same homes.

I'm not convinced for things like Twitter, Google, and Facebook. I think decentralization is the solution to this problem, not regulation.

It's weird to think about, but I almost wonder if something like Alex Jones starting a PeerTube instance might be the event that pushes enough people to start using ActivityPub to where the network is of a viable size.

Telsa really should aspire to Toyota levels of efficiency, but you also have to account for the fact that Toyota has had decades of experience as well as a stable and long-term relationship with their parts suppliers. Stopping the line and reconfiguring that plant in a Toyota plant is likely a minor rework for efficiency. But when a model and line and entire system is all new, a stoppage might not be a small rework despite best efforts to have arranged for it to be so ahead of time. Even the timeline and difficulty to setup a new Toyota plant vs a new Tesla plant aren't really comparable, because Toyota also has and excellent and stable set of design practices and supplier relationships. If two to three years from now, the rework ratio hasn't dropped considerably then Tesla is doing something wrong, but right now I think it's understandable that Tesla is just getting on it's legs wrt truly mass production. You always have to learn new things at each order of magnitude of production - even with products and methods that have been successful at the previous production level.
Couldn't they also be bursting to this rate by accumulating a queue of needs-rework vehicles in previous weeks, then accounting them all in the same week when the rework happens in combination with that week's production line numbers? It would artificially inflate the number for a given week, without actually being sustainable.

What's broken is that there are "sides" at all. The American people are being restricted from free thinking on individual issues because of party-based politics. This is intentional, to create "wedge" issues out of thin air so we stay divided and whoever wants power has a shot at taking it.
I see. The plot thickens :-)

Based on what you're saying, my best guess for what is happening is that the memory issue might be correlated to the CBD intake but not caused by it. i.e., maybe you are taking the CBD to cope with a period of high stress or anxiety, and it's the anxiety which is causing the short-term memory loss. There is a fair amount of research correlating intense emotional stress with changes in memory or outright memory loss. Repressed memories of childhood abuse are an extreme example of this, but this also can happen for somewhat milder events.

It's not impossible that CBD could be causing your symptoms, but the lack of precedence in research findings or even other people's anecdotal experience makes this seem like the least likely scenario.

I'm curious if you have thought about doing some controlled testing, i.e. take some CBD once a week for 4 weeks every Monday, and see if you experience this memory glitch in the 24 hour period afterwards. Apologies if you've already thought of/done all of this.

As someone who lives with PTSD and has found CBD to be a godsend, I'm trying to investigate the potential downsides to this substance, and so far you're the only data point I have pointing to memory loss.

My pet hypothesis is that as people got wealthier, the special-occasions meals became more affordable more often. Since these are the foods people preferred, instead of the cheap stuff that they thought of as the food of poverty, these are the foods to which cultural significance got attached.

Few people look back fondly on the foods they ate daily because it was the only stuff available.
As a candidate, I kind of like the homework thing. It's a lot closer to what you'd actually be doing on the job compared to white board tests, and interviewing is a pretty big time commitment on both sides so I don't feel taken advantage of if it's not crazy (the interviewer has to spend a lot of time on it too)

Also, I think it's really a stretch to call it abusive. If you feel like the test is too much of a time commitment or you don't think the company is serious, you can just not do it you know?
> their knowledge of the fact is going to be based on what third-party sources they trust (including those acting as fact checkers), which is tightly correlated with viewpoint.

But that's true of nearly everything.

On anything controversial, users will generally vote based on what they like to believe, and such a system of ranking news stories or posters of news stories would never be reliable.
No. The "dealer prep" you're referring to is literally taking just taking the plastic wrap off the car.

He's talking about fixing production errors, like panels being stuck on wrong[0], or window gaskets being misinstalled[3].

As a side note, this is the first time I've heard anyone defend the lemons coming out of Detroit in the 70s. It was so bad, that my dad would check the VINs, so that he would never buy a car that was built on a Monday or Friday, because it was too likely that the workers were either drunk or hungover.[1][2][4] And this is when he was in the UAW as mechanic and then a body man.

I thought these production issues might be overblown, so I checked the deck lids on three 3s in the parking lot at work. All three were misaligned. I didn't expect them to be perfect (it's not laser perfect on my 2010 Jetta either), but I didn't expect to fit my finger through the gaps. All three cars. All three in different places. That killed it for me. I will never buy a Tesla 3.

The issue I see is that there is a huge gap between something a company might find useful and something that could replace part of a hiring process. I'm not really excited about studying and taking a test if I still have a full interview process. It's just making the process more annoying.
