EC2 instance + db instance per customer alone made my jaw drop

No, they mention in the article that they were using 30 databases per DB instance. Not sure why they used 30 when the RDS FAQ mentions[1] that for SQL Server you can have up to 100 databases per instance.

However if they would have used another database engine such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, they would not have had any limits to DB's/Schama's per instance and could have had an order of magnitude of cost savings. Using something like AWS Schema Conversion Tool[2] makes it easy to convert between different DB engines, and at a spend of $100K /month they could have easily afforded to pay a consultant to do the migration for them.

um no. The previous immigration crisis proved something rather different.

Individuals might feel that way but governments are happy to have then detained in Turkey.

Even Sweden would probably not open up for so many refugees and several Eastern European countries refuse any. (EU might be able to force them).
Yeah that's definitely the approach. It's simply an "unvalidated" statement either way, until evidence is provided to support it.

They do, Turkey took in a share of Syrian refugees and really that can't be underplayed.

But to answer your question, Erdogan not the coolest dude ever. Plus Turkey doesn't have the greatest history of human rights especially if you aren't Turkic in ethnicity. Just ask the Armenians, Greeks and Kurds(very much related to this issue). All of which happened in the last 100 years.

In short, if you are getting displaced why not go the extra distance? Just because you've been violently displaced from your home (and everything you know) doesn't mean you can't have upward mobility ::eyeroll::.

The UK currently produces about 60% of its own food requirements (60% of 66 million ≈ 40 million), however I’ve seen it reported that switching everyone in the UK to a vegan diet would increase that to supporting about 200 million people.

That doesn’t mean it would be easy — I am a motivated to become vegan and still failing.

If I extrapolate that to the rest of the planet, the world should be able to support around 38.5 billion.

One insight from reading about Vietnam, was that the US military actually was largely achieved the goal it set out for. It was strategy of attrition, and they were able to post very positive metrics throughout.

My sense is that with more technology, you get more focus on metrics, not less, with an even greater likelihood of choosing the wrong strategy.

So I read this is less of a "good vs evil" debate. It's just that when you are up close to the evil, you are really left questioning, "is the end really going to justify the means". If you are far away, you just see "hey, we're winning".

Thus, this "bad war" is less of a statement of "evil war" but _ineffective_ war.
Again, the point is: if you engage for wrong reasons (or lie about reasons), then mess up and disengage, people have a point in complaining. What's being asked is: don't engange in the first place, if you must start shooting somewhere then do it for the right reasons, and if you absolutely must do something for the wrong reasons, at least be up front about it and clean up your mess afterwards.

China, like every single country in the world, does not have an inherent "core". All its territory was acquired by war, expansion, colonization, and settling. China simply has a couple thousand year head start on the new world.
> Their position is to negotiate another deal (if possible) and put it to a public vote

That's not really much more information - revoke if the deal is not accepted? What do they actually want from the deal? What is the party's true desired outcome, being in the EU or not being in the EU?

It's very hard to form an accurate picture of Corbyn. I can't think of anything impressive he's done, and he's doing tremendously badly in the polls against a disaster government - but all the media coverage is so heavily slanted against him that I'm reluctant to form a negative opinion that's clearly being indoctrinated into me.

Agree with minimalism. The older I get, the more I value mastery of few things over a superficial grasp of many.

In some cases, this can feel a bit regressive. Stepping back to a bone-head simple pattern with fewer moving parts and less dependencies on complicated "others" I cannot see.

Part of why I hate WordPress with a passion. It's complex mess of plugins and themes, slapped together without the tight moderation and insistence on good style that we see in a place like the Python standard library.

Farms grow crops that you can't eat, to feed to animals that you can.

Name the protein and fat sources that will replace meat. Tofu? We already grow soy for animal feed as a cash crop and it's pesticide and fertilizer intensive, and if people eat it directly instead of as an animal feed additive its production will grow at the expense of forests and soil health.

Nuts? I'm all for perennial woody agriculture, but the calorie/acre ratio is not great, and they are labour intensive for picking, netting, processing. I say this as a person who has an orchard of my own with hazelnuts and chestnuts in it.

The reality is that should meat be gone, we'd have to replace it with other foods, grown on a mass scale on agricultural lands. Animals can graze on products (grass, hay, soy, dent corn) that are marginal or useless for human consumption, and turn it into high protein, high fat calorie rich food.

There are populations that eat primarily vegetarian, but mostly they are also heavy on the dairy. But the moment you bring dairy into the equation you're also bringing in non-productive male calves -- in other words, veal. Similar story for eggs.

What we need to be doing -- along with reducing meat consumption some -- is coming up with more ecological ways to raise meats, and diversifying our meat products. Raising insects as feed stock for chickens, for example. Increasing perennial woody agriculture instead of cash crops, with small scale grazing of meat and dairy animals inbetween rows.

Cutting animals out entirely actually leads to a nutrient deficiency. The classic pre-green revolution family farm forms a kind of nutritive circle with manure, grazing, and rooting being an important part of soil health and maintenance. That didn't scale out in the last 100 years, but it's a model we need to look at.

"Alabama has no precedence of self governance,"

Yes, it does (assuming you mean precedent). Alabama was one of the initial members of the Confederacy, which it created/joined on March 13, 1861.

Now, this might sound like I'm disagreeing, but I would say, consider the outcome of the next several years. It is true that the United States fought this out to the n'th degree, and self-governance lost.

One relevant difference is that there is a fairly solid case that Alabama joined the United States of its own free will. (Whether they realized it was inherently a one-way trip, well, that's another discussion.) I'm not sure if I agree that Hong Kong was quite so free. But it was certainly legal.
Vietnam and Iraq US killed 3 million civilians. Cant say that about Turkey. Why the hell is US in NATO?
Yes like in the Amazon where the forest is taken down for soy crops and for grazing mostly. A lot of the grazing land we have was created through human burning and deforestation in the first place.

And yet, in reality, the vast majority of meat comes from factory farms fed with corn and soy.

Even technically called free-range meat gets fattened up in the last portion of their lives in factory farms to get the slaughter weight so they also get fed corn and soy just less.

> The faster a CPU finishes, the faster the CPU can sleep, which is how you save battery life.

Yup.

> The more cores you use the lower the CPU frequency can be, which saves power, since frequency increases do not use power linearly.

More cores in use has little to do with frequency and more to do with heat. More heat means more thermal throttling which lowers frequency. Lower frequency means that the CPU doesn't sleep sooner.

> I think it goes without saying that javascript workers have nothing to do with the design and layout of a webpage.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with using more cores if it's actually beneficial. But every use I've ever seen for a web/service/javascript worker has always been user hostile by taking what should be done on a server and offloading it onto the user's device instead.

Those calories are the way the world handles crop failures.

Let's assume that normally 2/3 of the grain calories are fed to livestock. Then we get a massive crop failure and global yields are 1/3 of expected. Price of grain goes up, farmers can't afford to feed their cattle so slaughter their breeding stock and the price of meat goes down. In the short term meat consumption goes up to counter-act the loss of grain calories due to the failure. In the medium term the smaller amount of livestock eating grain means humans eat a higher percentage of the grain grown. In the long term it's a new harvest and cycles repeat...

The other aspect of the Great Firewall is the alternative ecosystem inside it, and the censorship system embedded in weibo etc. It will be interesting to see if surveillance capitalism apps like Wepay and Alipay suffer a setback in HK in the wake of the protests. Cf

They have successfully played the west in exchange for a few US air bases.
I attended a small school system where there was one class per grade from Kindergarten through 5th grade. What they called junior high school consisted of three rooms, which were the home rooms for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Students moved around among these three rooms for classes from the three different teachers (English, science, and history/social science) and a visiting math teacher who might have had an office somewhere else but didn't have a homeroom.

This made an easier transition to high school, which had the full (6 to 8) different teachers and classrooms. There we had 3 different classrooms and 4 different teachers.
It probably is, although I can’t quickly find a direct source. The “middle class” is extremely broad in the US, encompassing like 60-70% (or more) of the population, with the lower class taking up 20-30% and the upper class taking 1-10% (these things aren’t well defined). It would be shocking if most Congress critters were coming from such a small upper class.

Some evidence- since 1952, 5 presidents could be said to coming from the upper class (Kennedy, 2 bushes, Johnson, Trump) and 7 came from middle to lower class backgrounds.

I also saw an article (which I can't find right now) that while top private colleges were disproportionately represented in congress, the majority of members still did their undergrad at state schools or die not attain an undergrad degree.

I was here to comment the exact same thing. My phrasing however was that "All wars are bad wars if the people handling it remotely wont send their loved once on the frontline".

The real issue with remote wars is that people sit in their air conditioned offices in Washington DC and move other people's sons into the deserts. They pay no personal cost for the failed operations and accidental drone strikes.
Primary source would be taxes from the charter city citizens. I do not believe that the people moving in would be completely helpless.

Then the possible remainning part of the funding, well, at the moment quite a few European countries are borrowing money with negative interest rates. So I assume they can borrow quite a pile of money before the interedt rates become unbearable. And to be clear, this is in my mind one of the most important if not the most important thing EU should be investing money for its own sake. And EU does not need to give the money to charter cities, mo ey can be loaned as well.
FWIW, most people in politics are in state and local government. Congress is a drop in the bucket.

The options are quite limited.The paradox is explained in this video; http://longnow.org/seminars/02019/mar/13/modern-elder-and-in...

The corporate culture, instead of embracing mature workers who have plenty to offer, chooses the 'cancel culture' to eliminate senior citizen hiring.

The latest technique being employed uses large foreign consulting firms to filter out older workers so that the target firm can not be accused of discrimination - in other words, discrimination by proxy [e.g. insurance companies like Cigna].

The best way to 'cope' is to contact your State Human Rights and Opportunities office and report any and all instances of this activity. Its a free way to begin understanding what your rights are and it shines a bright light on offending enterprises.

This is a large subject that not only includes hiring discrimination but job elimination devices such as performance review abuse and other subtle maneuvers.
