That's cause PD is measured by the optician separately when you're ordering your glasses, not by the optometrist or opthalmologist who writes the prescription.

In other words, it's not part of the prescription, it's instead part of the glasses fitting process.

A non-eye related example would be if your doctor prescribed you a brace and the person at the medical supply store measured you to find out which size you need.
Fair to not call it new, they apparently opened in 2014. But that is still two years after the article dates the steam punk period as ending, and it is still very popular.
For now. The next logical extension of AWS, as they saturate the tools / hosting aspect, is to begin eating the ecosystem of software businesses that depend on them. They'll tread carefully and will do it non-the-less.

It's the same thing every platform or large service ends up attempting. From Reddit to Twitter to Google to Microsoft & Windows and so on.

Amazon understands that well, they're aggressively doing it in retail. It's guaranteed they will do it with AWS. As its growth rate slows, they'll accelerate that cannibalize-your-customers (CaaS, or CYCaaS) as the next growth opportunity.

Generic CRM, targeting Salesforce and Oracle. Etc. Amazon will view these types of offerings as just another block of software service on top of their AWS structure. The playbook is that Oracle's margin is their opportunity and it doesn't stop at databases.
You also missed the other subsidy. TV ad spots for political ads have their prices frozen at the beginning of the election season. When the season heats up, other advertisers get pushed out as their prices increase, but politicians keep the frozen price.
I built a game into our B2B product
It's relevant to what I want to see.

You boldly claimed that the government is observing me in my home through my devices, and I want you to show your work.

PRISM happens at the ISP level, and doesn't mention directly using iPhones, Macs, HomePods or tv as surveillance endpoints... So, where's your proof showing that they're surveilling US Citizens through those specific devices?
"get a reality check, this isn't going to work".

If I gave out free hot tubs then there would pretty quickly be a hot tub shortage. The problem is that parking is the leasing of public land for insanely low amounts for private property storage. You are forcing everyone around you to pay for your private property storage because you don't feel like paying for it yourself.

After all, can I pay the council the £100 a year (or whatever tiny amount it is) for an on-street parking spot so I can store my hot tub? Have a little garden? No? Then perhaps we shouldn't let you store your metal box there either unless you're willing to pay market rate for the land.

Keep in mind that any time you say developers must be forced to add room for parking, they were trying to add room for humans and NIMBYs told them places for cars to sleep were more important.
The chart shows the entire market value of select other tech Giants, not their cloud offerings.

The purpose of the graphic was to say "Google Cloud is now worth more than all of Oracle", not to show Google's place in the cloud market relative to Amazon and Microsoft.
The short answer: "None of your god damn business", which is the point.

The only counterpoint to end-to-end is "we want to be able to access your private conversations", which isn't really a counterpoint unless you agree with spying on citizens and would like to also allow the government to come into your house and place listening devices as they please, listen to your phone calls whenever they please, open up your mail whenever they please, so on. Hell, actually require you to wear a device at all times so all conversations can be recorded. No, just no.
Goldman Sachs = the big banks

IIRC Goldman valued WeWork at $60B
I was working at Google when AWS launched in 2006. The internal message was, we don't want to build a competitor. We have the technology to compete in this area, but it is fundamentally a low-margin business, whereas reinvesting in our core business is high-margin, so we should keep our infrastructure to ourselves.

I wouldn't say the Google strategy was wrong per se - their stock has about 10x'd since then. But it's interesting to see how much things change over time.

They have been optimized away.

Grids, blocks, straight lines, clear boundaries, maintenance space, standardized signage, standardized safety and accessibility, standardized everything... these are all things which reduce TCO.

Non-standard, interesting, niche, characterful, bespoke, artisan, historic... these all carry hidden costs that manifest in property prices or taxes or inefficiency.

Everyone admires the aesthetics of the latter type of cities but not so many are willing to pay the price for them.
I've worked with compliance teams too. It used up 50% of the time of three engineers, plus three people whose full time job was interfacing with compliance. And this was just in the InfoSec group. So that's four and half FTEs averaging at the time about $100K a year (probably now $200K). So today that would be a million dollars expended dealing with compliance.

And do you know what value compliance brought to us? Nothing. We were already doing all the necessary things. All we were spending our time on was proving that we were already doing all the required things.
I wonder this trend will continue among marketing platforms? Shopify did the same thing earlier this year and it felt very weird: https://www.shopify.com/studios

I’m struggling to understand what an LGBTQ identity is if it isn’t related to sexuality. The definition of a lesbian is a woman who has sexual preferences for women. If a woman doesn’t have sexual preferences for other women, but still likes them, then we just call them “friends”, no? She isn’t a lesbian just because she has female friends.

And now we get into our semantic debate; is LGBTQ content any content that is generated by a member of that group? So if a gay man talks about skateboarding, is it LGBTQ content? Or is it only LGBTQ content when the topic is literally about lesbians, gays, bis, and transsexuals?

If you talk about sexuality, you’re talking about sexuality, so you’re going to get hit with these censors. If you talk about skateboarding, you aren’t talking about sexuality, so you won’t get censored.
I like their idea for height restriction as well--allowing a story higher than those buildings around it.

This is really distasteful.

I had, as a student, a row with one of my professors. We chemically hated each other and it was showing (he was mean, so I was mean as well).

Then came the exam (oral) . 6 questions, I easily answered 5 of them, the 6th was extremely difficult (neeed much more time and literature).

I told him that the first 5 one are easy but that I could not do the last one because (explanation).

To what he said "well, you see, the better, brighter students manage to do it. I will have to just give you 20/20 and not the 25 or 30/20 you could have had as a bonus".

He was looking at me as on a spit on the floor. I was looking at him as on a bird excrement on a window.

But I told him later that he is one of the most rightful people I know and despite the fact that we will never look at each other in a kind way I truly admire his fairness.

Then repeated this to him some 15 years later.

This is fine, but it just seems like a general extension of the well-documented fact that your brain works better when you're well rested. If you asked entrepreneurs (or anyone) to engage in a relatively complex mental activity, they'll do it better with more sleep than less.
Let me draw an analogy to make this more clear.

You have a river that separates two climates. One is a barren desert, and the other is a lush forest. You have two villages on each side of this river, and they can see each other off in the distance. But the river is deep, wide, and treacherous.

So the lush village talks a lot about how lucky they are, how unlucky the other village is, and how they should recognize their luck in being born on the lush side of the river. And that's what they do.

How does this help the barren village?

It doesn't, and that's the point. The lush villagers feel as if they're morally good people because, after all, they recognize their luck!

But NONE of them take the ultimate responsibility and try build a bridge. They're content being morally good people who are lucky.

And then imagine one day a barren villager arrives in the lush village. And this villager starts talking about how they crossed the river, and others could too if they were willing to do what this particular villager did.

And the lush villagers start telling this person they're morally bad for believing others can do what they did. What about the disabled and the infirm? But really, the lush villagers just don't want to believe they could have taken the ultimate responsibility to build a bridge because it would lay bare the truth, that they're just as immoral as everyone else. That they COULD have solved the problem, or at the very least lessened the problem. But their goal was never to solve or make it better. Their goal was simply to live with themselves as the beneficiaries of that luck.

The only real difference between this analogy and what we're talking about here is that the solution isn't as clear cut.

What you basically said was "human beings who are taught the right things will be successful because they'll make better decisions in life". Which strongly implies it's not about chance because we as a society could take it upon ourselves to ensure as a society all of our young are taught the right things.

But rather than do that, people teach their children the right things, and then let themselves off the hook for all the other children by "recognizing" how unlucky they are. When they know, they KNOW, when no one is judging and they're being honest with themselves, they know they're just as large a part of the problem due to their own selfishness.

This problem will start getting better when these smug ass keyboard warriors stop recognizing shit and start taking action. When they stop being able to live with their own inaction and are instead pushed to action.

Does London not have buses and trains? Why do people need to park or drive anywhere?
I would disagree strongly, and I would go so far as to claim that signalling isn't done for the in-group, it's done for the out group.

Apple users don't wear white ear buds to signal to one another, they do it exclusively to signal to people who don't have it that the apple user can afford product and symbol greatly in excess of the person.

Same with mechanical keyboards. The signal there is to people using shitty 20$ dell membrane boards, and who see those beautiful machined aluminum boards and custom caps and feel jealous. The signal is about demonstrating you have more than someone else.

When two people who have similar things are showing it off, that's not signalling, that's talking shop.

I see. Yeah, we also have a lot of laws / government terminology for things that are named in similar ways / for similar reasons unfortunately.
Did it ever occur to you that people buy mechanical keyboards because it's just good/better?

(And P.S. subjective ideas of good/better are what they are, but no fair objective analysis of price and value would agree with you. A thousand dollar phone is a pure status symbol and owning it has nothing to do with a rational attempt to achieve value per dollar)
Because your parents worked hard for your outcome, as theirs did for them.

It's the same thing that drives the success of societies and nations, each generation living on the bounty of the blood, sweat, and toil of those that came before. An outsider may view with envy at the position of the people in the society, but it doesn't diminish the rights of the people in that society to it just because they didn't make it. What happens is those societies that destroy, denigrate, or forget their history get complacent, lazy, and fail.

Your parents likely failed in properly educating you in the history of your family, their trials, their successes, and you lacked context for your position in life.

Deep dive into your family history, learn your ancestors, the shit they had to deal with, why you are where you are, and erase the self loathing class warfare mentality from your perspective.

You don't have to miss them, go on ebay, there's an entire hobby around vintage keyboards too. You can get adapters that enable you to use them on a modern system. Those things were built like tanks and sometimes you can get them for a good price.

Some of them are worth hundreds, but people still find them all the time at flea markets and yard sales for a few dollars.
Oh I've got no doubt that the value for humans is higher. It's just the unrealistic expectations from developers that zero people will bring a car and park on street that is absurd.

Often these "luxury apartments" that they build like this actually don't have cars so they are kinda right but for the wrong reasons: these sort of apartments in London are often bought by people for speculation/money parking/laundering and are actually never occupied (1) so it is more that the market values the apartments as assets/money laundering opportunities more than human habitation. Locals cannot afford to buy these sort of places.

> I didn't even know Intel or Adobe had cloud offerings.

Google includes their SaaS offerings as part of Google Cloud (like Gmail and Docs). Intel and Adobe have SaaS offerings.

I actually think the original parent post was a more emotionally reactionary than this response. Yeah, it could be the case that mechanical keyboard enthusiasts are all virtue-signaling snobs chasing clout on the internet... or it could be that some people just enjoy the things? And want to share their cool things?

It could be that the community hivemind has decided on an orthodoxy and aggressively judges anyone who doesn't conform.. or it could be that we all just have different preferences and enjoy customizing our desks in this way!

Idk maybe some people are buying expensive kits just because they're expensive but that never occurred to me.
How they're using GCP probably varies a ton. A lot of places are doing multi-cloud for risk mitigation. Maybe some are using it for Kubernetes workloads that they can spread across public/private clouds. Probably a lot like the PaaS products like Firebase for prototyping. I haven't seen any shops that have bet the farm on GCP the way they do on AWS or Azure.
In GCP, I çan see all my instances of all regions in one go. I can't do that with aws.

In GCP, I can easily create networks between projects. It's really shitty to do in aws.

In GCP, I can create a machine and everyone in my team automatically has ssh access.

In GCP, I can make an instance, then mark the IP as reserved. In aws, I have to reserve the IP first.

Aws UX is the worst. I use both on an everyday basis. I could go on and on..

I had TV then switched to a similar Internet only plan with Comcast.

I adopted a strategy of telling them I have no TV anymore (and I disconnected my TV boxes before calling) and need the Internet for work only. I had to politely repeat myself a few times and decline a couple offers of bundled packages, but they switched me over.

The experience wasn't too bad. I expected the caller to try to upsell me but I just said "No thanks, I don't have a TV anyway and really just need the Internet for my job."

But, people who leave themselves open by telling the rep something like "I don't like what's on TV" or "TV is too expensive" will probably have trouble. They really want you to have any type of TV subscription.
I kind of locked in on my recent experiences when answering that. So I want to clarify -- its not expected in all orgs and is dependent on roles (e.g. if you aren't working on live services, it wouldn't even make sense). I would expect larger shops to have dedicated ops people or site reliability engineers who handle most of the duties. But I think small to medium sized corps that either don't have or cannot afford these would expect developers to handle crashing services, whenever they occur. Having an on-call schedule is a natural next step to prevent everyone from always being on call, or (worse, imo) prevent people from siloing and only fixing "their" stuff. I agree it should ideally be part of the job description, but don't find it unusual to be left out if the job otherwise fits the mold.
Yes. They used buckling spring switches. Different from Cherry MX's. I think there are modern versions but IMO the way to go is what you suggested, keeping an eye out for a good deal on a real vintage one.
For example, not paying bills because something more urgent might come up

Nothing wrong with this behavior as long as you pay on the due date. Schedule automatic payments on the due date & you'll hang on to the cash as long as possible, and you also won't forget to make payments & incur fees.
Kotlin vs. Java: What Software Engineers Choose for Android Development
Microsoft's online login is probably the most prominent example of translating "user@domain.com" into a SSO login/redirect that uses Azure AD or another SSO provider for signon that I can think of.

I know it's based on DNS and/or HTTP(S) entries for the common SSO, just don't recall all the specs off hand.

For the google/apple and other very common cases you can detect by a whitelist for the domain part. For others, if there isn't a discovery mechanism in place, would have to defer to internal (password) created accounts.

It's a bit of a mess, fortunately there's a handful of TLDs that account for over 95% of public users. IIRC, when I worked at emailage, it was something like >85% of requests were from 20 domains, and 95% or so were from 100.
> Strawman. You are conflating denotational semantics with operational semantics

But your trick is neither. The law of non-contradiction refers to the same proposition P in both positions, simultaneously:

> "To express the fact that the law is tenseless and to avoid equivocation, sometimes the law is amended to say "contradictory propositions cannot both be true 'at the same time and in the same sense'" [0]

Yours isn't "at the same time" because each evaluation of P (which in your case is a programming function with side effects, neither a proposition nor a mathematical function) depends on the other evaluation to cause a side effect.

So you're cheating, you haven't expressed anything innovative or outside the realm of other languages (including Haskell), and you haven't broken the law of non-contradiction.

I wouldn't have paid for the ad-free version of the kindle had I known it was just a lock-screen promo for a book. I'm exposed to so few new books in my life that I kinda like the feature. Then again, I also wouldn't have bought the ad-free version had I known I was going to keep it in airplane-mode since the day I bought it.

Back when I first bought my kindle and made this decision, I was thinking the ads would be something like a "checkout these deals on Bose speakers!" interstitials every three page turns.
Makes sense. Broadcasters don't allow ads from their competitors on their networks (you would never see an ad for a CBS show on Freeform),so idk why they would allow ads from streamers. Probably thought it was incremental dollars when it just basically meant Netflix was stealing subscribes away from them.

At the end of the day, Disney is still gonna sell that inventory (maybe at a slightly lower premium). So I would see it's worth it to lose $5-10MM a year if it means slightly cutting off the reach of one of your biggest competitors.
> Weapons are uniquely special in that they are specifically designed to maim and kill. Via defense or justified actions is irrelevant; it's a tool of war. Arguably, if there was E2E software that was specifically designed to maim and kill it might be received in a similar manner as guns.

This is nothing more than a politically motivated lie.

You cannot escape the fact that guns are overwhelmingly used for peaceful purposes that do not include maiming and killing. If this were not the case, Americans would all be dead or maimed by the guns that outnumber people in our country.

Even where the evidence strictly supports your claim, it counters the intent you imply. FBI standards for selecting ammunition, for example, test penetration through clothing and material designed to simulate a human body, but the intent is to stop lethal threats with a minimum of collateral damage. Quite opposite to being "designed for slaughtering", they are designed to minimize harm, while serving a defensive purpose.

> Via defense or justified actions is irrelevant

I think you'd find the opposite to be the case if a person were threatening your own life.
