FWIW. It has worked great for us, saving us mid six figures per year or more. The savings keeps increasing as we figure out ways to move more of our workload over to Lambda, we are even running PHP there. Step functions, lambda, sns, sqs and api gateway are pretty cool tools for a lot of projects when used properly. I think the paradigm shift in how you need to make things work is frustrating for some, but once you get it, it works nicely.

I have also helped engineers at two other companies start making the switch and they are both happy so far... so, in my (obviously limited) first hand experience it works 100% of the time. :)

Iger is anti-American.

He is a terrible human being who replaced 250 American STEM jobs at Disney in Florida with H1-B Visa abuse. He also wanted to triple the number of H1-B Visas.

Candidates Trump and Sanders both came out against the anti-American moves of Disney, but Clinton was silent because like Iger, she was anti-American.

For some reason NYT columnists including Maureen Dowd, pass up the perfect opportunity to question Iger about why he is anti-American.

I don't really know if that is in the interest of the user. Just copying a file universally works with any file format and is a concept that users can understand.

A file has a name and a path, analogous to conventional storage systems. Putting it in a proprietary system like SharePoint or a Teams channel, to stay in the MS world, has other disadvantages.

I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes I think the main goal for these "improvements" is vendor lock in, especially if the topic is around blurring file locations or URLs.

Access rights and relevancy of files is indeed something most alternatives organize better, but content tagging doesn't really work in my experience, because users just don't do it. So the only information about a files content remains the filename and the path.

Since those are fundamental concepts for data organization in most computer systems, it is advantageous to convey these ideas to the user and from my experience this is not that much of a hurdle.

Sure, a network share has disadvantages and without a competent clean up crew it quickly gets convoluted. But that is a problem all other systems have as well. So to improve the current situation, solutions should build upon file systems.

And asking the user if he really wants to save the file is probably just a good idea. If he ignores the message and throws away some work, he has learned a valuable lesson. Users on every knowledge level go through that experience at some point anyway. I think users suffer far more from most proprietary solutions for data exchange that is distinct from copying some files from A to B.

> So the reason quality is lower is because no-one will pay for quality anymore

That's seems overly simplistic. Many people in the UK /can't/ pay for quality.

I've tried to seek out quality and many times I've been bitterly disappointed.

Paying for quality can be waaay above what even an above-average earner would want to pay, and with little guarantee about the quality. Is something 2-10x more expensive going to last 2-10x longer?

Take carpet for example. £50-100m2 vs £15-30m2. The latter looks nice (can even get a wool mix in that price bracket) and if kept clean might last 10 years. With the former, which will probably outlast even you, you might lose money if you move, damage it or fancy a new design. It can also be just as liable to a manufacturing defect, with no promise of better customer service.

Ask HN: How do you manage your private keys?
I'm sure many here need to juggle different servers or services between jobs, clients, playgrounds, and projects.

1. How do you organize your private key(s)? One for all, one per client, one per project, one per client/project/machine?

2. How do you move your keys between devices/machines? USB copy? File in password manager? Something like Keybase? This point is obviously moot if you have different keys per device.

Personally, I'm trying to segment my projects logically and share keys as little as possible, but not to the point of obnoxiousness. I certainly try to keep devices separated in case one gets compromised.

As for key management, I've been simply keeping them in directories, but I've been looking into Keybase's git integration lately for that, hence the question.

Yes! The KP HMO has history with but is not owned by the Kaiser industrial companies. It was essentially setup by Sidney Garfield at the behest of Henry Kaiser and the help of FDR to treat workers at the Kaiser shipyards, hence the name.

Rules in prisons and other high-security places are often extreme. They start with a simple kernel, which may or may not make sense: No personal computing devices (under the assumption that computing devices can be used for un-controlled communication, this may not have been articulated). Someone asks about people using calculators for their GED or whatever, so they permit them. Someone else realizes calculators can be computers (not in just the basic sense of performing computation, but general computers). They extend the rules but keep the carved out exception for non-programmable calculators.

> whereas Jews were rounded up and starved to death

Those are called death camps.

A concentration or internment camp is where you stick people who you don't trust, so you can keep an eye on them. Prisons are essentially a form of concentration camp, but the key distinction is that you have to be found guilty of something to end up in prison. It's probably more accurate to think of a concentration camp as a long term jail.
They presumably didn't want people using a TI-83/85 effectively as a gameboy.

>The fact is, a lot of the policies currently aren't really different than they were under Obama, many started under Obama.

Shutting down the legal border crossings to legal asylum seekers was not an Obama policy. Even if all the other treatment of detained persons crossing other than at designated border crossings were a continuation of Obama policies (which it's not), that alone would change the entire equation because the population targeted had changed because people who never would have crossed anywhere but at a designated crossing for the purpose for applying for asylum are now subjected to it.

OTOH, family separation was an outcome that the Obama administration chose to avoid by not detaining families with children after the court orders that forced that as the outcome of detention

> There's also more than a few people talking about removing the entire organization

Not the function of border enforcement, just the current agency given the function, parceling the function out elsewhere as a way of destroying broken organizational culture.

> and decriminalizing illegal border crossing (open borders)

Using civil enforcement (including deportation, which is a civil, not criminal, sanction) for illegal border crossing, as is done for most immigration violations (most of which are not criminal) is not “open borders”.

> and not enforcing immigration laws.

No one is talking about not enforcing border laws as a desired end state. Some people are talking about changing laws, but that is a different thing.

> Pretending that high profile politicians are not promoting this is kind of silly.

No, your description is (more than kind of) silly, and more the point simply a regurgitation of false and misleadig talking points used repeatedly against anyone criticizing the current administration on immigration.

Labeling one type of morality as the normal, sensible one is cheating, because normality and sensibility are value judgments. You can say it goes against the modal morality. I think that particular one generally gives older people too much of a pass for harms they inflicted while younger, and for which they never made adequate reparations.

If I expand the number of buckets to 100, modeling for 11-year-olds up to 110-year-old and older (but mostly the dead), the responsibility for the debt in 2018 still shakes out to 20% in the 110+ bucket.

We're still paying the debts of dead people. 1846 is the last year in which the national debt could be truly said to belong entirely to the living, and 1974 was the last year we actually paid off any of the debts of the dead, rather than perpetually refinancing them.
It's still my favorite CAS for unit conversions, simple equation solving, checking integrals and derivatives. Part of that is surely the muscle memory of the buttons from using it daily for 6 years, most of that before I even had a phone.

The only things needed to make SPA possible are same page requests
and DOM updates.

We have pretty much always had iframes and form posts that can be targeted to submit to hidden iframes that JS can read, so XMLHttpRequest is easy to polyfill.

We used to use jQuery and globals or straight DOM manipulation. Or Backbone.js or just straight classes.

It has always been possible to make a SPA. And if you actually are able to download and cache most of the app upfront, it should be pretty quick. The question is, I suppose, how big is the SPA codebase and do newer browsers know how to cache identical codebases into their "entry points"?

The real draw of React and Vue, and more recently, Lit-Element (Google), is that they update the DOM in a smart efficient way, doing updates much more efficiently than you might could do without an intermediate layer.

> Don't you support greater minority birth rates at the expense of the majority?

Frankly, I don't care what the relative birth rates are between "minorities" and "majorities." By the way, which metric are you using to define minority? Is it height? Nose size? Personality type? I'm guessing it's just race, which is a very narrow criteria, but that's the only the criteria respected by the modern definition of "diversity."

> No, that's philosophy.

Erm... no. Science can give us an explanation for what is causing climate change, and even how quickly climate change is occurring, but designing a solution to it is firmly in the domain of engineering.

Anyway, that's all semantics. As to how I came up with the "1" number is really pretty straightforward though. That number will prevent the population from growing or shrinking -- it will maintain the current number. Isn't that obvious?
They told me that's a possibility but (1) I didn't wanna be stuck with a foreign/sucky calculator in my Calculus BC test since it has parts that require you to use a calculator and (2) they said there is no guarantee, so I didn't wanna take my chances (what if I'm late and they're out of all extra calculators)

> If any form of advertising, even internal tracking and advertising, at all denotes you as surveillance company

I don't think it does. What makes you a surveillance company is if you incorporate surveillance into your business model. By that measure, Google, Facebook, and so forth are certainly surveillance companies.

You can do advertising without spying on people. Ad companies that behave this way are not "surveillance companies", they're just ad companies.
I work from home now, but when I still commuted (BART train in the bay area), the best purchase was a ultra thin laptop-sleeve-style backpack. On top of being super lightweight, I can sit with it on my back, or I can stand (and not be one of the jerks who don't put down their huge backpack on the floor when it's crowded and they're standing). If it's raining, it fits underneath my jacket.

In a similar vein, lightweight everything is really important to me as quality of life, as a skinny lightweight Asian person who has a lot lower strength than the average American.

After going through many different brands of sneakers as I grew up (all your usual brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Converse, etc.), I've settled on Big5's Denali (low-cut) hiking shoes. It's both cheap in price and cheaply built, so it does worn out every couple of years and I have to get new ones; but it's the most lightweight and comfortable (for the shape of my feet) shoes I've worn. Similarly, for pants and jackets I've settled on Uniqlo, jogging jeans (looks like jeans but feels like sweat pants, and is very inexpensive), ultralight down for jacket.

I'm also a mech keyboard and ergonomic mouse guy (along with good ergonomic office chair, earphones, etc.), but I would say those purchases don't even come close to all the other things I mentioned above, in terms of qualify of life effects.
You may be interested in the latest news re: allocating ENIs in VPCs for Lambda[1]. They've finally got the cold-start situation a little more under control in that scenario.

Here's the meat, to save you a click:

> AWS says that the one-time setup of the shared network interface can take 90 seconds to complete. But because the network interface gets created when Lambda functions are first created or VPC settings updated, the connectivity-related latency during cold start approaches zero. The same goes for function scaling, which no longer requires new network interfaces for each new execution environment.

Welcome to Birthday Week 2019
I was speaking with some friends about this recently, and how it seems a lot like the uncanny valley effect. Relatively, Google has made a lot of effort to not be racist/sexist. They're working towards not being those things (though still evil for other reasons), but somewhere in between the start and finish is this uncanny valley where scandals are super likely to happen.

My friends and I all had different theories on why it's so prone to scandals, but we could agree that:

1. it still wasn't fully equal

2. it was equal to empower people to retaliate against the inequalities

3. there's a good chance some people were patting theme-selves on the back without fully achieving the goal

When we were talking about it, it was in the context of Meow Wolf. But it also seems to scale to a lot of West Coast politics.
