If, as you say, millions of people with similar professions, lifestyles, and home environments tend to vote and identify a certain way, perhaps these factors cause them to have different priorities than you? Perhaps Republican policies help farmers better than Democrats?

Perhaps its possible to value-judge people based on different factors than what your chosen political side would have you judge them on.

Your side wants you to hate and fear the Other because thats what gets people to the polls.

Whats good for farms is good for America, and sometimes that means prioritizing things like taxes, land use, and commodities trading over niche technology needs.

Despising them because they vote differently from you is in this case literally biting the hand that feeds you.

I have in fact delivered pizzas as a W2 employee, and had to use my own car. While I didn't ask if they'd provide a car for me, because I've never heard of such an arrangement, I highly doubt the answer would've been yes.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you using now? I'm getting increasingly fed up with google dropping words from my searches.

It gets ridiculous when it even drops the damn programming language or the database, as if knowing how hibernate works was going to help me with the go mongo driver.
> requires self discipline and experience to organize your development

Almost like developers with self-discipline is a bad thing...

I feel like you've just had bad experiences and have tarred web dev with the same brush. Either that or tried to conflate enterprise development with web development. Those things are not the same.

Try them all and then pick one (or two):

- SpiderOak One

- Mega (very cheap)

- Syncthing (open source)
This is the problem of modern democracies in a nutshell. We saw the same thing with free trade. International free trade and movement of capital is claimed to increase the overall wealth of a nation whilst massively negatively impacting a small portion of the population (outsourcing clothing manufacturing gives everyone cheaper clothes but makes clothing factory workers in 1st world countries redundant). The huge corporations that profit the most from these new economies of scale and international competition then lobby to reduce social safety nets and standards so the exact people who were negatively impacted by these changes receive no help to get themselves back on their feet.

If it really is true that these changes massively increase the general wealth then it would seem trivial for governments to step in, take a small cut and put it towards retraining, re-employing and retiring these workers. Yet it very rarely happens.
Twitter is on a constant downhill ever since they restricted their API to force people to use their own a) shitty app or b) shitty website with c) shitty defaults.
Makes sense. One last question while I still have you here. What's the TLA+ adoption look like within AWS? I imagine it's probably still only a small minority of teams, but exactly how small are we talking (you guys are the only ones, 2-5, 5-10, or 10s?).
This might depend on jurisdiction though. I too have seen cars with all kinds of stickers at the same time in some countries, and in others they are exclusively one or the other.
I am addicted to watching various self sufficiency and off grid living YouTube channels eg Wild Wonderful Off Grid. It’s like all the videos on YouTube about Tiny Homes, Treehouses and people living in stealth vans: totally absorbing.

But this article is an entirely different level of realism; this is talking about actually doing it, and taking an attitude that seems quite different from all those super great videos I mentioned.
On our train network, you can buy paper ticker anonymously, or you can buy e-tickers with your name on it.

They don't really need your name to reasonably prevent fraud / reuse, they don't even check your name/id. GDPR says you shouldn't collect PII without good cause, yet noone cares to do anything about it.
This looks pretty cool, wish I had heard of it at my last job, where we orchestrated all of our physical servers using Salt.

There are times when unfortunately the end result can be a bit tricky to predict, especially when using the reactor system.

These days all the cool kids use k8s, but I think most often it's overkill and Salt works extremely well for traditional (non microservice) setups. It's especially useful if you have a mix of physical servers and VMs.
I agree - I'd say clean rather than clunky. The old and (by modern standards) spartan appearance of Windows 95 applications doesn't mean the UI design is no good. Similarly, command-line interfaces can be very effective, even if they lack GUI gloss.

I just looked it up and turns out that's my favourite stroke! I didn't know it had a name, I just called it the "Jellyfish" :)

On the other hand, what criteria would you say classify someone as an employee?

Your shed builder example seems like it could apply to almost any kind of job. By that logic, absolutely no one would be an employee.

Or put differently, what would stop me from firing all my employees and contracting them as freelancers instead?
I came here to ask that very question. The only thing I could find on Uber's website is this:

> Requesting a specific driver

> The Uber app cannot match you with a specific driver.

> When you request a ride, your app sends your request to nearby drivers to pick you up at your pickup location.

I guess 'most of us' is a bit vague as to which particular subset of the human population you are referring to but he's more perceptive than most of the stuff I see online.
Yes they do. They require proof of payment
This feature might not be available in 3rd-party clients, like polls and cards.
Or just to check to see if they're looking in your direction, so they're at least likely to have seen you. Amazing how often people watch a car to (say) their right, and once it clears, they go through the intersection without checking again to their left...!
Very accurate division between the two mindsets. Considering the overwhelming base-rate bias, the contrary growth bias is the one that is in need of a larger voice.

Also, there's some reasons to think this may be different than these other outbreaks. One reason is that plenty of smart people suspect this was an accidentally released bioweapon, given the ground zero was so close to China's only bioweapons facility.

In addition to what others have said, this is not the full truth

> Its drivers are allowed to deny a ride, and can see the cost upfront.

Drivers can't deny too many rides (as a self-employed person can), or they are penalized by Uber.
That would actually be pretty awesome.
I longed for an article as well written as this one.
What you should be comparing this to is HomeAdvisor. I use them for handyman services and the handyman told me he must contact customers through a proxy phone number and they don't give him any ability to negotiate pay or terms. Yet somehow he is a contractor.

I mean that water doesn't flow uphill or horizontally. In most houses you can have an oven in the kitchen island, because wires and gas pipes can run any direction. But drain pipes have a run rate, and unless you want to do horrible things to the ceiling downstairs you can't have a drain line enter the floor more than say 6 feet from the nearest wall.

I've heard tell of people getting quite upset about this information.
Yes, good to note my perspective is on greenhouses in the US, I think greenhouses in Europe are definitely more automated, especially in Amsterdam!
Because only the caller of a function gets to decide if an error is recoverable or not. Also note that this reasoning applies to all kinds of error handling, not just exceptions.
Aren't you removed from the platform if you reject too many rides?
I have worked with Druid and ClickHouse extensively in the past year.

I do think rebalancing is a weak point for ClickHouse, although for our use case that would not be so much of an issue, and it feels like it is on the roadmap for ClickHouse this year, but we will see. And if you are on Kubernetes, some of that headache may be handled for you with the ClickHouse Kubernetes operator.

I will say, that Druid indexing comes at a heavy cost in hardware for ingestion.

We find ClickHouse can easily ingest at least 3x the rate of Druid on the same hardware, and since Druid is asymmetric in design, you then have to get even more hardware to handle the queries.

Even with the vectorized aggregation, ClickHouse is beating Druid for full table scans at least, especially high cardinality data. But the vectorized aggregation has some restrictions to get on the fast paths, so that may improve. as those are removed.

Overall, I find ClickHouse much easier to work with and manage compared to Druid. ymmv
For a AWS product manager, pricing is a one-way door once you cross it there is no way back from it you.
Time to stop calling them user agents and start calling them vendor agents. There is a conflict of interest in these vendors' control of web standards; it is in their interest to keep the barriers of entry into the user agent market very high, so that there can be no timely effective response when they overstep their bounds.
I have noticed a tendency (especially amongst HN articles and readers) to continually compare our bodies, minds, souls etc. to machines, as if they could be "biohacked" into perfection with just the right patches or software updates. Or that we could easily be replaced by the "correct AI" algorithm, if we could just get the simulation close enough.

Not that I don't believe we aren't complex systems, we are, to be sure, and it's not that life doesn't hurt sometimes, as it surely does.

But the whole idea really just grates on me. I like being a monkey, with all my strengths and weaknesses, I wouldn't trade that to be a cyborg for all the money in the world. Each to their own I guess! I guess I just don't think the analogies, simulations, etc. really do us much justice as a species.
Indeed, especially considering that this is "1%-2% of all drownings". It says nothing about how many people are suffering from this after a near-drowning and subsequently recover from a near-second-drowning. For all we know more than half of the near-drownings may end up with secondary symptoms.

Also we don't know how many near-drownings vs drownings there are. Lot of good statistical quiz questions in here.
It's not because of DMCA requests, it's because of lawsuits like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viacom_International_Inc._v._Y....

Even if Youtube was in the right, it would take years and multiple appeals to get to that conclusion and then Viacom still appealed so at some point Youtube just decided to settle, it was cheaper.

I believe that means that in the current legal environment it is not cost efficient to provide free hosting of third party videos, ad supported, without draconian/significant number of false positives content identification system that is made available to the biggest potential "suers". Thus, even if a competitive service would appear, if it needs to be profitable using the same format it would likely end up implementing a similar (or worse) system. But I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
I'd say the only way to "simultaneously" work for both is to have a rider from more than one service in the car at the same time. Probably 0% chance they'd have an overlapping route, so you'd have to go off-route for one of them, and I'm sure that wouldn't go well. But for all the drivers I've seen that use more than one service to find riders, never seen this happen.
This is still kinda bad. What you really want is multiple return addresses. This is liked "double-barelled continuations", but the two continuation closures share the same activation record (and inductively, the same stack)

See http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/papers/mrlc-jfp.pdf
We don't use any branching. Git is complicated enough to explain to non-software engineers without branching. We treat all commit versions equally for CI/CD. As most people are not software engineers, this seems a reasonable course of action if a project encompasses non software elements. We have non CI/CD testing anyway (nontrivial hardware projects require much more external process).

For releases we assign versions without tags, instead using replication of a subdirectory tree under a version number. This ensures all versions are available locally to all users without adding any access complexity.

This is basically optimizing for simplicity for the users.
There are already a lot of suggestions to use an externally attached storage (or "sneakernet"). I think it's the simplest solution with best performance. I dual-boot off an EVO SSD in an external thunderport/USB-C enclosure, and performance is similar to the built-in HD. The enclosure is the size of a pack of gum. Make sure the USB-C to USB-C cable is actually USB 3.0 certified.

She should also verify her Time Machine configurations on both Macs are set up to back up her sneakernet drive fairly frequently. ... You only seem to need backups when you don't have them...
In the unix-compatible world, you could take a look at openbsd as an example of OS that is not growing exponentially. Yet, the web browsers are the same two beasts that you find elsewhere in linuxes.
For a more radical approach to what you ask, look at plan9. There are some modern forks that run on modern hardware.
Pg: I've never met anyone with a gut feel for exponential growth
A simpler definition of fair use would definitely make automation easier! But is the simpler definition one we actually want or intend? Lots of laws are complicated because they’re the product of years and years of iteratively modeling a problem with lots of feedback and edge cases accounted for - why should we prioritize Google’s ease-of-enforcement over _the thing we actually want to be the law_?
Having multiple jobs doesn't indicate self-employment autonomy, neither does it remove the overriding conditions the person is subject to with each employer (in this case: building own clientele, setting rates and other key terms of providing transportation service).
To put that in perspective, three 9’s allows you about 9 hours of downtime a year, which will certainly require multi-region and a dedicated ops team.

Two and a half 9’s is a whole different story. We achieved about 20 hours of downtime last year even without HA on k8s bare metal in Alibaba cloud. But I’m uncertain whether that’s a feat we can repeat this year.
Free (zonal) cluster per account, regardless of size, should cover a lot of this, no?
Typically in an auction, a situation where you are bidding price-per-item for multiple items would be described as "24 times the money" or "24 x money". Only some auctioneers do this because it is confusing to novice bidders. Seems to be more common in live auctions than online.

"24 ea" would generally mean that you're bidding one price for all 24.

Your price may be increased by a buyer's premium as well, but again, this is more common in live auctions than online auctions. Typically it would be in the paperwork you sign to register for the auction (...which online auctionhouses often don't do at all).
Well nutrition isn't exactly a settled science. There are many problems with studies and as a result we have a wide variety of sometimes contradictory conclusions from them. New conclusions and findings come out but the nutrition community is unable to achieve a consensus understanding on these types of aspects of a diet. There are too many confounding factors involved in studies and it is nearly impossible to design a study that will show the exact effects of eating bacon on the diet without other dietary considerations tainting the results. Like for instance lots of new studies are coming out recently claiming that our disdain for saturated fats is highly misguided. However, nutritionists cannot come to a consensus because old school people stick to what they learn in school without keeping up with studies, people distrust the new studies or argue in favor of the many contradictory studies, etc...
100% agreed. The workflow suggested in the viral blog post is far too complicated, even for experienced teams. But in practice what happens is that the teams who are most likely to base their git practices off some random blog post instead of off their own experience are the least experienced teams.
A Mac Mini expanded with two SSDs with syncthing is superior to sneakernet because it provides replication. And, if you really want to, add a 14 TiB HC520 placed in an external USB 3 case.

Add an rsync server to get backup. Forget the cloud, most solutions are overpriced and insecure. Use TarSnap if you have absolute have to backup reasonable quantities of critical data and call it a day.

Turns out it's possible to get billing alarms from AWS, but it's not something they make terribly easy. I don't know if it's possible to configure a kill-switch the same way.

My favourite AWS billing horror-story involves Glacier. Its pricing model used to be the stuff of nightmares, and caught plenty of people by surprise. [1]

There's probably some level of acknowledgement that there will always be a subset of repairs requiring the dealer's expertise and tooling. Especially as the machines keep getting more complex.

So you will still buy the locally supported brand.
I don't see that sort of thing working. Too much relevant gray area.

For one thing, something that is playing in the background, where it doesn't sound good as music and where there is talking over it, isn't the same as having music edited in with good quality. Using 10 seconds of a song, in high quality, for your opening title sequence is probably a lot more of an infringement than having 30 seconds of dialog, where there happened to be music from someone's car radio faintly audible in the background.

I'm not arguing for the status quo (I think it is very broken), but I don't think such simplistic solutions would actually work.
Maybe that, too. But any other species that had the same drive could not have accomplished what we have.

Our killer app is intelligence. Maybe cheetahs were also driven to expand, but they were far less adaptable than us, so places that were barriers to them were no obstacle to us.
Second the use of high speed SSD or SD Card, at night just make sure it backs up to the cloud just in case you lose it.
Straight to stackoverflow, serverfault, superuser, or unix.stackexchange.com and search using keywords and tags. Added bonus: sometimes I find an unanswered related question to which I do know the answer and can help someone else out.

Then I search DuckDuckGo. Its SEO garbage isn't nearly as bad as Google is... yet...

If I don't find anything there then I'll ask real humans: coworkers, slack or discord chats on the topics of the tags, friends, some technical-smart family.

I said they never had radios in the past. These aren't radio taxes. They pick people up from the side of the road. That's most taxies in my experience.
Here's a short but informative ‘lecture’ by anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevsky, which finally comprehensively answered the myth of ‘cavemen’ for me. It's not about Neanderthals, but still: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IihGveExaqU

(English subs aren't stellar but they're there.)

He mentions that territory from Siberia to Central Europe was a well-trodden path in Paleolithic, and there's an example of one person traveling from some sea to the centre of Europe.
I'd add to this that both Uber/Lyft try and hide the price from you before you accept and penalize you for declining/canceling too many ride
Uber does not let you pick your clients. Drivers get a request for a trip that they can either accept or deny, and they also penalize drivers for rejecting too many trip requests.

I will admit I would not know the difference between gitflow and a hole in the ground. But that diagram looks an awful lot like the workflow you tend to pick up when using fossil.

* The primary dev branch
* branch and merge for feature development
* long term branch for each release.

The authors only real concern appeared to be no rebase, and rebase is already a big no-no in any sort of distributed development, just adopt that attitude for your personal development.
Poor self control. They'll spend money on a credit card without considering whether or not they'll be able to pay it off in a reasonable amount of time.

In some cases, they have negative cash flow but don't realize it because they haven't sat down and truly inspected their budgeting and spending. They're constantly deciding which bill they can choose not to pay so that they can still make rent. They think getting a credit card will give them breathing room, so they get a one and slowly the balance creeps up, or it jumps up because they suddenly think they can afford that fancy $2,000 TV.
