What do you think navigating office politics is? A lot of it is communication, and a lot of that communication is written down, especially in the remote work world we are going to. :)

Also how do you become the well paid boss that tells people what to do? You get promoted. You often have to communicate to your subordinates on what to do through writing and so on. Otherwise your known as a bad boss and the best might not want to work with you.

Homeless people exist everywhere. In my Wisconsin city they were out of sight because cold kills. In my Missouri city they were out of sight because we’d just arrest them if they didn’t stick to a few block radius.

Consider: if you don’t see homeless people, it might not be because there’s less homelessness. It might just be that they were driven out.
>a functionally equivalent semi-auto hunting rifle has exactly the same destructive power).

I'd strongly argue against this point. Most hunting rifles have 5 round mags (legal limit for hunting in a lot of places). They won't accept 30 round mags. They're also chambered in more powerful calibers which have much more recoil.

An active shooter with his dad's hunting rifle is much less dangerous than the same shooter with an AR-15 with 30 round mags.

I still have an Acer C720, which cost $250 back in 2013. It's a lovely piece of equipment, once you remove ChromeOS. I've taken it apart more times than I can recall, lots of empty space inside. The only downside is 2GB of RAM, 4GB would have been better, otherwise it's a perfect device even today (for development and browsing the web).

I always meant to buy a couple more RAM chips and solder them down to the motherboard (there's a couple of unpopulated pads), but never got round to it.

Sadly the wifi chip is soldered down, that's one of my only grips (RAM I get, but typically wifi would be an m.2 slot unless you're really cheap).

So I imagine you could get a lot done with this, even with the terrible performance. If you're just programming and using a browser you really don't need much oomph.
I ordered a pinebook pro on April 1st and arrived on June 3rd. I knew it was a pre-order when I paid. This meant months before the product arrives and that I would have to monitor the news from their website. They posted monthly (and bi-weekly, towards the end) updates on the shipping status, manufacturing issues and coronavirus impact. I had a problem because I am moving houses and their support team has been very helpful in accomodating me.

When I got the laptop I was expecting a cheap plastic build but got an aluminium sturdy frame. Best laptop purchase I ever had, this comment is actually being written from my new pinebook pro.

Real-Time Replication from DynamoDB to MongoDB
> On StackOverflow, anyone can edit any question. Anyone can edit any answer.

Neither of these things are true. In fact, to a user with zero reputation, StackOverflow is much more locked down than Wikipedia.

But the real issue with obsolete questions, is that a new question will be marked as a duplicate of an old obsolete question and closed before anyone has a chance to answer it.

So the real value of an obsolete tag would be that a new question couldn't be marked as a duplicate of an obsolete one.

I happen to be a huge fan of Gitlab, and that is one of the reasons yes. I don't think Github is bad by any means, but I like the Gitlab roadmap.

There are a number of really good CICD systems for Github. If you like Github, pick it and go for it. Just get started and don't spend more than an hour thinking about the whole thing. That's where the waste really comes in. Spending all of that time thinking instead of just doing.

Did some consulting for a railroad ages ago. They way it was explained to me, two of the (many) challenges are:

- the logistics of coupling long trains reduces their flexibility, so favors bulk goods

- trucking gets all sorts of direct and indirect subsidies that the railroads no longer get

I've since wondered if different engines (perhaps EV), different couplings, or some combo could change the logistics calculus.
Although I hardly ever find anything useful on StackOverflow anymore I think this is maybe partially overthinking the problem - for example in the case of versioning - if I have a question but I find an answer that does not work and is several years out of date if i were clever I would do something like say

How do I solve problem X using version Y of Z.

In some cases people encounter older versions of technology questions and make a new answer saying updating for version X of the technology - I know this happens because I did it myself for a Gulp question and got a good number of upvotes - even though I could never actually get the accepted answer of course.
The person flagging is most likely to be someone who doesn't know the updated answer, which is probably what brought them to that SO page where they discovered the answer marked correct no longer works.

This was a mixed exhibition 11 years ago. The blank canvases were by three different artists. At least one of them had white primer on it, though.

it is still a protest, right? this is why peaceful protest is so hard, because as soon as it stops being violent people find some way to dismiss it. when stuff is being set on fire, the argument is "why can't they protest peacefully", but when the protest is actually peaceful we get critiques like this one.
This is too idealistic. It would never happen. You either build it yourself or choose your spy.
When the production of sugar and related sweeteners is among the most subsidized industries in the country, is it any wonder that these find their way into everything?

> However I can draw bikes my house and everything else that I know well (and I often have too draw things since I cannot keep mental models in my head.)

This is quite similar to watching a movie and how you can instantly tell a CG human is fake. Because you know how humans look, walk, move, etc. Whereas if it's a CG plant or animal most of us might not notice it's fake because we don't live our whole lives observing them. An expert at elephants can probably see a CG elephant and notice the wrong things much faster because they know it well.

For myself, I can draw from my imagination but it's not that I see the image in my head. It's quite often being a little less present or concerned with the actual drawing while still having the muscle memory of drawing the common shapes that make up mass and form.

I would recommend starting off making marks on paper and seeing what comes out of it. A lot of cartoonists practice drawing an odd-shaped oval and then using that as the basis for the shape of the head.
In grad school, I used "Stochastic Calculus for Mathematical Finance II" by Shreve. Its pretty rigorous/technical (don't bother with volume I, imo).

Quick remark: Sugar, as other carbohydrates, is cheap. It also tastes well, objectively (as much as taste can be objectively measured).

So if you go for industrial-level food production, you end up with a higher proportion of sugar than what would be considered healthy. Sugar per se ist not bad at all (try to have an apple without it ;)). But our economy demands cheap, somewhat tasty, calories. Hence we end up with a lot of sugar or carbohydrates in general.

Any diet that rules out carbs works well because of that, not because of some intrinsic property of carbs.

As a French person you would probably never consider giving up on a good croissant or baguette, but in France these things are expensive. I doubt anyone gives their kids fresh croissant before school every day.
Congrats on launching. Very interesting. Does it support localization / customizing the look&feel? I couldn't work out if it's something that runs directly on our site, or we need to redirect to yours... I think some more documentation/info before you sign up for a trial can help give better confidence about what's involved and how it actually works (although the homepage is awesome and explains the value proposition super well).

Like others, I'm a bit on the fence about the ethical aspects of it. Yes, there's a lot to say about giving real value, listening to customers, but it does start going down the path towards darker patterns like Amazon Prime (there's a looong way to go down that path, but still feels like a step there). I'm not trying to criticize, but just voice my personal feeling around adding friction to cancellation.
No, ping is as complicated as for any gaming server. You have one central server and many clients connected to that central server. I don't think the game is running somewhere else, it's running directly in the browser, so only ping you care about is from your computer to the central server.

> you don't easily find, for example, yogurt without sugar added

I have a difficult time finding these, as well. The culture here (spoken as an American) is to avoid fats, which is why most products advertise "no fat" (yoghurt with no fat seems like a strange contradiction to me).

> in Asian restaurants (and even there, food is often sweetened)

This is also true from my experiences. Chinese restaurants add sugar due to believing that's part of the American palette. (For Chinese foods, there's also a distinction between "typical" and "authentic" styles, and most Americans are unaware of the latter.)
This reminds me of that time I made $200 on a short comment in HackerNews by pretending I was doing an hour of coding.

IANA-Philosopher, but if music, geometry, and logic could each encode all the same things, and we have a musical "sense," for its rules and symmetry, it's reasonable to speculate that music is an artifact of patterns and theorems that appear in these other areas, and where we don't have an matching rule in one area, it implies one should exist in the other.

It's stuff like the machine learning kit that produced a new AC/DC song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpEVsDN84Hc), meaning that machine learning has discovered an algorithm for producing outputs from rules effectively hidden in the band members heads.

The function the ML model discovered that produces theorems in the domain of plausible AC/DC songs isn't as useful to us as the one that produces plausible fluid dynamics models, but the possibility that the properties (or category) of that function might contain other analogies and isomorphisms to geometric figures, graphs, and other objects may imply that when we listen to music or compose, it our minds could just be in effect, "doing math," - and whether we in fact do anything that is "not math," either.

High level, I suspect this may have been what Hofstadter, Dennett, and Searle were on about.
But those are two different issues. One is about national security, and the other is about civil liberties. Sure it would be nice if both of those were strong, but the consequences of having compromised national security are more likely to result in wide scale disaster than this particular case of weakened civil liberties are.

This is because we have some semblance of checks and balances within the country, but much less outside of it.

> I think sugar is the main problem (not fat)

Most of the research is that it's both. (Tt's the worst when fat and sugar are together) Specifically food is more rewarding, denser, cheaper, and easier to find than it used to be, so we overeat it. Same thing happens with almost any animal that's given ad libitum access to the american diet.

It seems there are two societal solutions, extremely heavy handed government interventions to ban tasty food or we invent a weight loss pill.
What part of the US were you in? I think your experience will vary widely; in NYC there are healthy meat n veggies fast food places every couple blocks. That being said I think you are accurately describing the majority of the country.
A lot of people also aren't "in tune" with their bodies, especially those with weaker autobiographical memories. Many just don't internalize or remember how they feel over different time periods except for extreme events (emotional, strong smells, etc.). Unless they have a hangover, they don't much consider how they feel on a relative scale, let alone try to tie it back to their past diet or lifestyle. Throw in a lot of drugs like caffeine, antidepressants, pain killers, depressants like alcohol, stimulants like ADHD meds and it results in a perfect storm where subtle signals that many people are naturally mindful of just get drowned out. Even becoming aware that you can differentiate signals takes practice just like any other muscle.

This has been my biggest struggle with health. I've always had troubles with autobiographical memory and without it, I can't stay motivated because I quickly forget how good exercise felt or how junk food made me feel a few hours later. I started going to the gym to dogfood when I joined a fitness company and within a few months I was looking a lot better but not feeling it. It wasn't until I started to really push my limit with rowing workouts that I felt the "runner's high" athletes talk about. From that point on, it was felt like I was discovering a new muscle group every few weeks and correlating how far I rowed in a 60 minute rowing session with my diet and lifestyle. Junk food that I would scarf down because unappetizing. Drinking alcohol went from a no-brainer to "how will I feel tomorrow?" Morning stretches and exercise became mandatory just to feel "normal."

Even now, with the gyms closed for months, I can feel that newly acquired skill slipping and predictably, my self discipline slides too. I've almost forgotten how good it feels after a nice workout.

Right now it's fairly basic: we recommend you offer a limited discount (for example, 30% off for three months) and by default a customer can only accept one offer for their lifetime. That would at least minimize most of the risk.

On the roadmap are plans to target offers based on segmented customer data (lifetime value, etc.) so even if you did try to follow a trick posted on Reddit, it might not work for you!

re Problem Awareness

I agree being aware that your security policy doesn't do what you think it does is definitely a problem. We're working on that too with reports of your actual, effective access and educational materials.

Let's illustrate this problem with an example. Many people don't realize the problems around using IAM policies with wildcard resource conditions. This results in incidents like a role for a firewall application having access to unrelated data for a credit application.

A principal (IAM user or role) with an IAM security policy that allows calling an api action like `s3:GetObject` to all resources means that principal can access objects inside any bucket within the AWS account by default.

This DenyEveryoneElse statement:
https://github.com/k9securityio/tf_s3_bucket/blob/master/exa...

prevents access by unauthorized principals at the bucket level.

re Migration

There are at least two ways to migrate to this module:

First, if you are already using Terraform and want to try out a better bucket policy, you can use the policy submodule directly. This is described in the README and demonstrated in the tests:
https://github.com/k9securityio/tf_s3_bucket/blob/master/tes...

Second, if you want to migrate an existing bucket into this Terraform module, you can use `terraform import` or `terraform mv` to migrate the AWS bucket resource into a new Terraform module definition.

I'd be happy to speak with you and anyone else about AWS security problems. Contact info in profile.
