Cloud computing has been a DK bulldozer.

Time and again the symptoms of the problem I'm troubleshooting have correlated with some prior experience, triggering a prediction, which has been wrong.

And I've actually passed multiple cloud certifications, too.

IT is just complicated.
A legitimate mom-and-pop is never going to compete with larger retailers for commodity items like PC components. They don't have the buying power, they don't have the economies of scale and they can't offer meaningfully better support or curation. The "mom-and-pop" retailers who can compete are generally doing something shady, from grey imports to outright counterfeiting.

That's far from the case in all verticals. I have bought tons of stuff from small specialised online retailers, because they can meaningfully compete in niche markets. If I want a woodworking tool, my first port of call is Workshop Heaven, because they sell a carefully curated selection of extremely high-quality products. Everything they ship has been QCed by someone who actually knows about tools, so I'll happily pay a premium in the knowledge that I'll never get a dud. I'll buy a tool from a brand that I've never heard of, because I trust their curation. I look forward to seeing their newsletter in my inbox, because it usually highlights cool new tools that I haven't heard of.

IMO, the future of mom-and-pop retailing doesn't look like mom-and-pop retail - it looks like a boutique. A small selection of carefully curated products, a fanatical commitment to quality and genuinely useful pre- and post-sales support. To survive in a post-Amazon world, small retailers need to evolve into niche brands in their own right.

Which damages everything that relies on it, so... Yeah, malicious (as in `malice` and as in `let's hide it`).
Interesting how mortages vary so wildly between countries. Here in Denmark the variable loans are all below zero.

You still pay something as the loan has a management fee on top of the interest, so you can end up paying approx 0.6% in interest in the variable loan that can change every 5 years. The mortage loan can only cover up to 80% of the value of the house, with rest being 5% cash and 15% a more normal, higher-interest bank loan.

How much you can loan is based on a multiplier of your household income typically.

The 30-year fixed loan is 2% effective interest. And you can also not pay any interest for up to 10 years.

I imagine you would have to "do it" every week to have the claimed effect...

EDIT:

Actually, if the funds are transferred electronically it would take as long as an ACH transfer takes to get to the new account. The funds are tied up during that but then immediately available to the banking system again.
I know the typeface looks childish, but that does not mean it was made poorly; I spent a lot of time making this typeface actually capable of serious business. Also you can easily find coding typefaces with higher price but with fewer characters and sometimes no italics. Besides, there is a smaller pack called Coding Essentials, so you do not need to buy the whole family (that wouldn't be so useful for coding anyway).
Socializing with other people at your place of work is part of the job in my opinion.

Not just for you but for your co-workers. Even if I have zero interest in my coworkers, it benefits me to make them comfortable around me and make it clear they can approach me with questions or problems. It makes the eventual stressful decisions or disagreements far easier to deal with. Socializing is the best way to break that ice.
Hey thanks for the question!

Thankfully that hasn't been an issue so far (although my largest customer only does 500 orders per day at peak). The current strategy is to just make inventory syncing as fast as possible (making use of webhooks or polling very often).

There is something on the roadmap though that will introduce minimum stock levels such that even though you have 10 in stock within Trunk's centralized inventory, Trunk can add a buffer for high-volume products such that it will sync a stock level of 7 to sales channels instead of 10 in case this situation might occur.
I wonder if he's just using YouTube like Dropbox and just wants to have a personal diary of something he enjoys.
Having personally just purchased a home in the US I can say that a 400 bps increase in a variable interest rate would effectively double my housing cost, and place my home underwater as the Total Cost of Ownership would more than double over 30 years. If the interest rates increased by 600 bps to the maximum of the last 30 years I'd unavoidably default and declare bankruptcy.

On a per consumer level a variable rate is much higher risk, even in countries with highly variable inflation rates some fixed form of incomes will not inflate uniformly with the economy and a variable rate would increase the rate of defaults. On the other hand the loan terms and risks are determined once at loan origination where it's quite feasible for a financial institution to hedge out any long term inflationary risk.
> Cat Man is actually named Mr. Niiyama. He’s 52 years old, and he’s based in the Chiba Prefecture, about an hour east of Tokyo. Niiyama feeds the cats on the quay near his home, almost every day. “I will distribute breakfast at seven a.m. every morning,” he said. “We distribute over 360 days a year.” He started filming the videos because, as he explains, “I wanted to see the life of a cat.”

> Currently, he tends to seven cats, but he estimates over the years he has taken care of 50. Why does he do it? “Because taking care of cats leads to your own happiness.”

There is something very beautiful and serene about this. He found a way of interacting positively with his environment, and has simply stuck with it.
Thanks, I can do that.
IMO, we went there precisely to show that we don't respect anyone elses sovereignity, specifically not theirs.
This study falls a bit short. Where does the rudeness come from? They've already identified that rudeness leads to lower engagement and more burn out. But does lower engagement or more burn out lead to mode rudeness? What happens if the leaders themselves know the environment they're creating leads to these things?

Context is key. I've seen fake, high-pressure environments created by management too often. It isn't a life-or-death situation, it's your shitty incentive structure.

I refuse to believe most people are intrinsically rude (in a workplace setting). Because almost nobody is rude directly after you hire them (if they are, your hiring process sucks). No, it's more likely the environment or team is dysfunctional and rudeness is a manifestation/poor coping mechanism.

In that way, it's unsurprising management is unable to gauge the performance of individuals accurately, rude or not. It could even be a root cause.
And you’ve never slipped up and you’ve always researched what all the legalese means. You studied law applicable in the jurisdiction that the vendor chose to reside in or ask your lawyer before signing up for something like Facebook. You understand all the implications of what data gets collected and shared where, combined with other data collected by other parties and other places. I’ll believe that, yes. And even if you did, other people don’t or can’t which is why this still would not be ok.

If you are rich you’re burning out by choice. Having to go through something like long workdays because you want to is a completely different experience than doing so because you have to.

At best this is "another" problem, rather than the main problem. And no, Windows Defender "real time protection" is not actually a MITM.

For security you rely on your TLS implementation actually being competently implemented and enforcing all the policy requirements you may have. The MITM proxy hides that, now you're reliant on _their_ implementation, and they get to do whatever enforcement they feel like.

Unless you deliberately run archaic web browser versions there's a good chance your browser does TLS 1.3 with PFS and fast high quality crypto, whereas the MITM proxy lazily downgrades to TLS 1.2 (or earlier) with whatever the programming team could be bothered to get working in, say, 2016 when they last put effort into this. It still works, and they don't actually care about your security, so it's fine, right?

That browser (and possibly your entire OS if you aren't running some DIY Linux setup) manages a CA root trust programme, but if there's a MITM it might... not bother (everything is considered "trusted" hooray) or it might punt and rely on some other trust store, did it tell you which one, who manages it and how often they update?

TLS can also be mutually authenticated, a MITM proxy breaks that because it will need to not only MITM one side, it will need to MITM both sides, and if that's allowed you don't have any meaningful security between the endpoints.

I watched both IETF 105 TLS meetings last week, there are key browser and/or operating system people there actively participating. When you hear people say "ecker" that's Eric Rescorla of Mozilla, and when they say "A G L" that's Adam Langley of Google. You may briefly see Nancy - Nancy Cam-Winget of Cisco but that's the extent of the representation the MITM proxy vendors have, and MITM proxies are only one of many pies Cisco has fingers in.

It may be that the convenience of blocking advertisements is worth the extra security risk, but that would be the correct way to understand this - it's not just a matter of "I consent so this is fine".

Succinct form:

“God, by definition, is that for which no greater can be conceived. God exists in the understanding. If God exists in the understanding, we could imagine Him to be greater by existing in reality. Therefore, God must exist.”

If a precipitous rise in oil prices caused inflation, why did Paul Volcker cure it, and not the equally-precipitous fall in oil prices that occurred simultaneously with his attempt?

That is, second attempt -- his first attempt, when oil prices were still high, didn't work.

Using open source libraries is one thing, writing gratuitous articles about how you did something in X lines of code is another.

IMO, any article about how you did something in X lines of code is worthless unless you wrote every last line of code yourself. It only serves to impress people who know nothing about software. Lines of code you wrote is by no means a useful metric for evaluating complexity given the amount of library usage there is out there.

I could write articles about how I built $100M+ applications in a couple lines of code, but I have more integrity than that.

I just want to know what is "supposed" to happen if we assume bond yields are supposed to be equal to inflation like the parent.

Obviously no one is buying negative yielding bonds for the yields except pension funds, etc who are required to by law or not paying attention.

Right, Singapore is the only hot nation that is also high in economic output per capita and not heavily dependent on oil/gas for their output.

Taiwan ($25k output) is also comparable to Australia on avg yearly celsius, it'd be hit or miss to make the top 100 hottest countries list. Thailand has a shot of breaking out of the grouping. They're about as hot as Singapore, and their GDP per capita has climbed to ~$7,200 (up from $2k 17 years ago). Given another 10-15 years I could see them matching something like Hungary or Poland today (~$15k output). And before the crash, for a decade, Venezuela used to be a moderately successful economy and they're also comparable to Singapore on heat (another oil resource state though).
Ah, I misunderstood because from what I read, it sounded like the part you quoted was supposed to cover all that happened.
The dividend is extremely popular and helpful among low income earners in Alaska.

> Asked how much of a difference the PFD has made in their lives “over the past five years or so,” 40% replied that the dividends have made a “great deal” or “quite a bit” of difference, with 28% replying that the dividends have made “only some” or “just a little” difference, and only 8% saying that the dividends have made no difference.

> Women were more likely than men to say that the PFD has made “great deal” or “quite a bit” of difference (47% versus 33%), and 70% of those who described their economic circumstances as “barely surviving” stated that the PFD had this degree of impact.

Why Hypercard Had to Die (2011)
That is nowhere near accurate, nor very useful. Slavery was an institution that the Lincoln era republicans felt very strongly about eradicating, and they were otherwise fairly hands off. The progressive movement of the early 20th century (mostly TDR-style Republicans)was even more socially liberal.

And really it’s all irrelevant to who the republicans are today, no longer the party of Lincoln or TDR or even Ike.

> Almost nobody is rude directly after you hire them ... No, it's more likely the environment or team is dysfunctional and rudeness is a manifestation

I think this can be true, but new hires might just behave differently because they are new, and any changes are reversion to the mean. E.g. new hires are excited to start their new job, don't have responsibilities yet, are trying to impress their colleagues, etc.
Sure, but it means economic growth or revenue increases are not the primary motivator for not cutting them.
> The shirts come in a men's small, medium or large.

If these were to sell in the U.S., where far fewer men wear suits, the target demographic would need larger sizes; many overweight people suffer badly in the heat.
Moving to this later in the year. We'll see if I tolerate it or not. Unfortunately, there's been no mention of the benefits that are supposed to go with hotdesking (flexible hours and work from home) so it's all downside at this point. I'd be ok with it if it meant I could work from home a couple times a week.

I'm a bit torn since in this case of specific details, it's clearly wrong to take scholarships away from bright students.

On the other hand, only 33% of Americans graduate with a 4 year college degree, far more get a GED and work retail or trades. If we're talking about how to help the average american, trade schools or other income support (like a bigger dividend) would be more beneficial to these groups.

That's not the case. Centralization has certain pluses and those pluses tend to be gigantic compared to the minuses. AWS/GC/Azure trounce colos because AWS/GC/Azure come with tooling that simply does not exist in the colos.

Atlantic.net blew minds of colo market when it provided API'able PDUs in early 2000s. Not the "SSH via this place into the APC with your username and a password see the status and trigger a power cycle" but "Send this payload to the following end point". PXE boot without manual tweaks is still basically non-existent in the colo space. I could continue with these examples but it should be enough.

That's the reason why AWS/GC/Azure win, not because they are centralized.

The minuses for AWS/GC/Azure is that no matter how big you are, unless you are Netflix or Snapchat you are still a very small customer which means that AWS/GC/Azure organization cares less about your happiness than Comcast does about the happiness of a random cable TV customer spending $180 a month on a triple play.

Suicide Attempters’ Long-Term Survival
It's easy to see the potential technology has to fulfill your values.

It's harder to see the potential it has to fulfill other people's values (which may be very different from yours).

Overall, what technology does most readily is magnify what people or societies are inclined to.

So, in a capitalist/corporate economy where scale is incentivized and rewarded, technology will tend to magnify that. It can also magnify the chances early adopters have to make a new entry into the market for a certain window, but it won't alter the overall dynamic (this is a descriptive commentary, not necessarily normative).

And boy, I remember when I thought the main obstacle to well-balanced political discussion was a lack of easy access to thoughtful, reliable information.
These sanctions are immoral.
You're spot on. To me this seems like an inevitable future caste system. Did you grow up anywhere less than pleasant (ie lower income)? You're probably going to have more "bad" things to say online when you're younger (or maybe even overall.) Because when you don't grow up with two high earning parents in a nice community odds are you're gong to be exposed to that stuff more and likely even have to adapt some of it to fit in. So then we'll see what we see now - elites raining down on the rest of society saying certain language is unacceptable - and strong arming a moral perspective to make opponents the bad guys.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not talking outright racism or threatening speech, im talking general fowl language, bitter truths that the privileged would rather not consider, etc. If you doubt this consider how much backlash trump gets for saying something like - Baltimore is a shit hole - and how the left spins it to say that makes him racist. Imagine that fire power directed at some humble small time politician in the future who could maybe actually solve local poverty issues because they know the reality of it, only to be pulled off the stage for using "bad language".

Maybe we'll collectively get over it on the individual basis but when major economies are hedging the behavior, I just see this as yet another tool for the haves to control the have nots and limit their ability to usurp power.
