The US says children must be 5 to travel "unaccompanied" (i.e. supervised by airport staff to the plane etc). From around 12-14 they can go alone, depending on the airline.

I don't think there's a European policy, and European airlines seem mixed in whether they allow unaccompanied children: https://www.opodo.co.uk/blog/which-airlines-allow-unaccompan...

What you described in the first sentence is commonly referred to as an API gateway - protecting ingress traffic into a publicly accessible service/app (e.g. Kong, AWS API gateway, Ambassador, etc). Lately there's been a lot more generalized solutions in this category for inter-process communication via service meshes like Istio, Gloo, AWS AppMesh, and others - all of which seem to offer a solution that works for both internal traffic routing as well as external (when whitelisted).

Can you offer a description of your product that differentiates it from service mesh solutions? Did you build your own proxy software, or are you built on top of Envoy like many of the other available solutions?
Does it really matter long-term? A lot of people seem fixated on it. I get it if you are buying a car at the moment. Then there’s an innovation vs. quality issue. For the company though, it seems like it should be far easier to catch up on the quality of the trim as it’s purely executing on something many OEMs have already figured out, and there are proven, known ways to fix those types of issues?
I view unions as something that's only essential in the worst case scenario. If you truly need one then I fully support that, but they come with a huge cost to innovation. It's important to not forget the trade off.
I find the rest of Trailblazer a bit over-engineered and prescriptive, but I really like cells (http://trailblazer.to/gems/cells/). IMO these are good for encapsulating view state. It more replaces the "helper" layer than controller layer, but it also helps you write controllers that just focus on HTTP stuff and nothing else (together with service objects, of course).

AMD is offering incredible performance on every metric: single threaded, multithreaded, total RAM per socket, PCIe 4.0, power consumption, total performance, total price, performance for price, etc.

Outside of some very niche applications, the only reason someone would choose Intel for servers right now is because "no one ever got fired for choosing Intel."

AMD's Epyc Rome processors are truly excellent, best-in-class processors.

To be more precise, the elements of fraud include a false statement, made knowingly, upon which someone else reasonably relies, to their detriment. To prosecute, this pattern must not be merely plausibly true but persuasively true in the face of a motivated, skilled defense. That set of circumstances is only rarely true in advertising. It is clearly true here.

Smaller chips have better yield. As AMD's current chips are composed from several smaller ones (I believe two or three), each composite has better yield than one bigger of same real estate size.

Those negotiations can also drag down your salary potential as well. You get paid what everyone else gets paid. If you warm the chair longer, you get paid more, regardless of any innovation or extra value you bring to the business.

My point is just that, despite high comp at some companies, rejecting a candidate is still considered a very "cheap" move from employers' perspective (so: their labor negotiating position is still strong, despite high comp)—I explicitly wasn't trying to get into the correctness of that sort of policy or the environment that creates it, beyond its probably not being viable if tech companies' negotiating positions were meaningfully weaker than a normal employer.

You just said the same thing you said previously with more words and a bunch of RFC cites. If you store your PGP key in the DNS, then the entities that control the DNS can control your key. That they are "public keys" is immaterial; the point of a public key stored in a public ledger is that other people can rely on that key to safely send you a message, which they clearly cannot do with a key stored in the DNS.

Even if you believed DNSSEC is a good system --- nobody should; it's bad, and moribund --- a secure messaging system with end-user keys anchored in DNSSEC-protected records would be an incompetent design, on its face, simply due to the basic core architecture of the DNS and DNSSEC.

Building a control around a render is still neat, but it's not baking the thing from scratch.

I think part of the pushback in these comments is that as devs and hackers, a lot of us want to see new rendering engines. Even if they're basic or just render web data differently, it'd be a good change from the narrowing and limited web rendering landscape that's out there.
On that knob -- I prefer 80 characters today because it allows me to place two panes of code side-by-side without wrapping on one monitor. Sometimes I throw in a REPL pane as well as or instead of the second pane.

But I also have come to like prettier's approach. At least, I did last time I used it a year or two back. Almost no configuration, no bikeshedding, it just reformats your js code and doesn't sweat the rest. It's not having every style exactly how I like it, but it's much nicer than the eslint/jshint/etc hell I used to configure. Of course to some extent these tools solve some different problems but I didn't really feel much of a need to keep eslint around once prettier started enforcing its standards.
> About the time I had one PC opened up and was installing the NIC, one of the local IT guys dropped by and told me "You can't do that." 'Why not?', I asked. "That's not your job.", he replies.

It's not your job. If there was a need for more NICs to be installed the company needs to pay for the necessary labor to make that happen.

> Unions, in my experience, exist to help keep mediocre, unmotivated employees employed. One has no incentive to excel, as promotions are based on years "served", much like prison.

Here's what the NFLPA has on their website: https://www.nflpa.com/about/history

One of the reasons I like it as an example is it shows how much more a union can do than simply negotiate raises, and that they don't even have to do that part at all! You can collectively bargain over anything, and also a union can theoretically serve as a type of association that has other benefits. There's room for a ton of innovation and creativity here.

You don't see people argue that their union means mediocre football players can't get fired. The values of the workers can absolutely be shared by the union (the players are the union) -- and if you want to negotiate for even higher pay rather than making it harder to fire folks, you can do that.

That sounds like a much better relationship. But in that case isn’t the role of the Union almost redundant? I mean what’s stopping the workers and management from just having a dialog without a union?

Another thing is I don’t want the same X% increase as everyone else. What if I’m better or worse employee? Why should I get the same output for variable input?

> just pass an auth token back in a custom header.

At that point why not just use JWT?

If my auth service provider already uses JWT (which it does), and all the platforms I am writing on have a provided library that consumes JWT (which they do), then why would I go with a custom header?

Also having uniformity of code patterns is nice.

My web service uses the same authentication scheme as my native apps. Heck my backend DB knows how to look JWT tokens and apply permissions correctly.

Looking at Wikipedia, maybe its just about money.

"Apollo ran from 1961 to 1972, with the first crewed flight in 1968" - $25.4 billion (1973)

"The Space Launch System (SLS) is a US super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle, which has been under development since its announcement in 2011. It is the primary launch vehicle of NASA's deep space exploration plans,[12][13] including the planned crewed lunar flights of the Artemis program and a possible follow-on human mission to Mars.[14][15][16] SLS replaces the Constellation program's Ares V launch vehicle of 2005, which never left the development phase." - For fiscal years 2011 through 2018, the SLS program had expended funding totaling $13.999 billion in nominal dollars.

In 7 years Apollo had crewed flight. In 7 years SLS isn't even off the ground, and that is after the previous project never finished.

So, how do we gain public support for funding these missions? Honestly, while 'war' may be an answer its not a good one.

But if as a low-level manager I can gain sympathy and build relationships with my superiors by blaming my inefficiency on the union-devils, why not cause a petty delay with passive aggressive rules.

The union might be a corrupt and self serving enterprise. They may just be reacting to abuses by management.

Perhaps the company kept getting fines from the fire marshal for unsafe use of extension cords. Management tries to use that as an excuse to harass or fire their electrical workers. The union responds by saying that their electricians never saw nor approved the use of the cords and that they had no way of knowing they were in use. After enough hostile interaction, you wind up with a rule that nobody can plug their own computer into an existing outlet.

The places where I hear about the worst red tape, are places where the relationship between the unions and management are really antagonistic. Both sides need to remember that everyone wants the employer to be successful, because then there are more profits for everyone to share.
