And, whether its to his credit or not, health insurance prices have stopped spiking 10-20% per year.

And he's nominated two conservative justices to the Supreme Court.

And he moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

And he just brokered a peace deal between Israel and the UAE

And tensions with North Korea have been de-escalated, even if that effort didn't go very far.

And he addressed funding imbalances in the UN

And my taxes went way down

And he's not a Democrat, so the media is actually critical of him, instead of fawning over how dreamy he is at every turn.

Immigration isn't a big issue for me, but I prefer his stance over open borders.

So I guess there's a random list that you may also tell me isn't actually a list.

At the individual level of course there is a huge genetic component to intelligence. Even with the perfect environment and all the money in the world you might just be a dummy.

But I'm not sure how you square the argument that intelligence is mostly genetic with population-level shifts in intelligence such as that of the Jewish-Americans that someone else brought up in this thread. The only thing I could see is those populations begin selecting for intelligence with regard to reproduction, but a couple hundred years is an extremely short period of time for something like that to happen at the population level if it's mostly genetic.
I think the "clean slate" benefit is achievable almost for free in a monolith though - each request is a separate invocation of a handler function which is given the context it needs to run (e.g. an HTTP request, an output stream and user-defined context).

The user-defined context is the only route into the application state and can be as wide or narrow as you need. So you can share persistent state deliberately, e.g. by having that context contain a pointer to a db conn, but this is always a conscious, opt-in choice, and errors like accidental reuse should be impossible unless you're doing something inadvisable like using global variables.

I really hope so.

The problem with "part of the population being disenfranchised" is that it includes the some of the parts/minorities that we officially care about (unlike, say, poor white boys in areas that vote for The Other Party).

If a solution can be found where these minorities can instead go and learn something actually useful, I'm all for burning the current university system to the ground.
>> Give me times, and temperatures, and sizes, and weights!

The thing is, it's pointless to give such precise instructions because they will only ever work for one time and one time only, the time the recipe was (presumably) tested. After that, everything you do as you carry out the instructions in the recipe with absolute precision, like a little robot chef, will still produce a different result not least because your ingredients are no longer the ingredients used in the original recipe.

So for example, if someone tells you to stew a pound of beef "until ready"- the imprecision matches reality. Your pound of beef will not be the same as the pound of beef of the chef who wrote the recipe. It won't be the same as my pound of beef. It won't be the same as anyone else's pound of beef. And it won't be ready in the same exact time as everyone else's pound of beef. Not even if we're all eating from the same, very large, animal.

Like I say in another comment, a recipe is not a precise set of instructions that leads to a reproducible result, like a computer program or an algorithm. It's a template, a mnemonic, an informal description of how to achieve a result in the ballpark of a certain target.

I think this is one reason why many people have trouble with cooking, even when they're very good at following instructions: because they treat recipes as instructions to be followed, rather than a discussion, a debate if you like, between two cooks, or a source of inspiration.

The example of Ulysses S. Grant being the best student in his class for painting makes it clear that acquisition of these so called expiring skills is associated with long term success. The list of non-expiring skills has good intentions but the entries are weak and unjustified. It's odd that the article keeps emphasizing getting along with people so many times as a non-expiring skills when President Grant was famous for being strong-willed. It might be inferred from his career that conflict even with authority is actually a valuable skill, though you could argue it goes with the many bad behaviors he exhibited which turned out to be not a disqualification for highest office.

To be successful in a competitive field like business or the military you gain advantage by improving your mechanics. These skills, like wielding a sword, drawing accurately as in the article or in software using a particular programming language, allow you to succeed at specific tasks. This causes you to be respected by other practitioners, which gives you practice in the next level of skills for larger scale collaborations.

As tools change, you have to keep up. Leadership skills like motivating people, facilitating decisions, and persisting through adversity are generalisable across situations. However if you are unfamiliar with the mechanics you will trust the wrong people, not know which questions to push on, and persist in expensive mistakes. You can't skip these expiring skills. They are an essential foundation.
This is something I don't think enough people consider. There's a very long tail of niche software for niche use cases, and even "casual" computer users are likely to end up needing something from that very large set.
> That's starting to sound like DRM.

It's close, but the key difference is it doesn't actually restrict the user, since you're both legally allowed and technically able to build and use a kernel without that code.
> There's always a price for someone to bend their ethics.

That doesn't make it any more OK for you (ie, any specific developer) to bend your ethics.

Also, increasing the cost for unethical practices will at least discourage some corporations from engaging in them.
It's a tremendous comparison considering the European scheme worked and the American scheme was woefully inadequate and is causing incredible turmoil for tens of millions of people.
Is that different from, let's say NuGet or NPM?

Except NPM has messed up enough times by now any decent company has their own local NPM mirror through Sonatype Nexus or a similar tool.
Imma need a citation for that. Yes, Amazon could do that, but the cloud providers are usually very clear about drawing a clear dividing line between their hosting businesses and consumer businesses, because enterprise customers are extremely sensitive to the slightest suggestion of their data being mined.
Yes, I manually create and configure in the sense that I tweak a number in Terraform templates and manually run the ansible playbook for each new server. It's taken a lot of time to get to that level (I think keeping a setup of bash scripts would suffice in our case...)

We run a read-replica on every database, so in case a hardware error occurs on the main database we can manually switch it over. It might mean up to an hour of downtime if the worst happens. Some data loss is OK and can be solved with manual customer support most of the time. It's also a lot cost effective than working towards a 100% SLA.

Keeping the read-replicas alive is plenty pain enough! I can't imagine automating everything to auto-heal itself. (Sounds super fun though)

Codifying the setup for auto-scaling would be a massive undertaking. Each new change then requires destroying VMs and bringing up new ones. That would then require a k8s-like layer of infrastructure for secrets, DNS, service discovery, not relying on ephemeral storage (which is a lot faster than volumes/block storage).

I really love doing ops/devops, and would love to have the perfect setup which is 100% automatic and scaleable. Even now I have to stop myself from spending too much time scriptifying things that can just be run manually.

(1) this isn't murder, so that's a false equivalent. Murder is in a different book of law than privacy laws.

(2) small fines do not play down the seriousness of the transgression (which is the word I think you should be using for instances like this). They merely indicate that you should clean up your act assuming no real harm has been done. In some cases the regulators have immediately resorted to fines, and quite large ones as well if they felt that the case warranted it. They do have that option.

But putting companies out of business was never the goal, contrary to what a lot of alarmist people were screaming when the law went into force. Also, over time as more and more companies have been fined I would expect that the initial fines will go up because claiming ignorance really isn't an option any more. Some comments in this thread are particularly worrisome in that light, it appears that some people still don't get it and they are in positions where they really should know better.

Turning data into a liability rather than an asset is the long term outcome. This will take time, and when it happens I'll be that much happier. Every company will have to seriously weigh the price of holding on to some datum vs the price of losing it.
Of course universities will fight against anything that cuts into their income streams. That doesn't mean they'll win though. Market forces can't solve all problems, but they may solve this one.

Invest in SMS Marketing in 2020
- No restrictions. Sending info in messengers requires accounts for both the recipient and sender, as well as a free access to the Internet. In addition, it is possible that the client user does not have the necessary software at all. In order to avoid any difficulties, there is the SMS mailing. The information that you want to share with the client will be delivered regardless of the availability of a connection to the World Wide Web.
- Automation using RCS. New transmission standards are not supported by all mobile devices. The RCS function allows delivery of messages regardless of the recipient's device characteristics. The information is converted to the required format, so it is sufficient to check the status of MNP.
- Safety. E-mails from unknown senders are being opened less and less frequently. The desire to ensure security and preserve confidential data causes messages from strangers to be ignored. SMS, in turn, carries no danger. The recipient does not need much time to read it and the message is less likely to be considered spam.
- Minimum amount of time. It takes more time to read an email. Answering managers' calls is not always convenient. For these reasons, SMS is considered one of the easiest ways to communicate. The minimum of superfluous text and the maximum of sense bribe customers, who in 98% of cases will read the message.
- Customization. Soulless texts do not arouse interest. A letter that starts with a personal message is more likely to attract attention, clients like to hear or see their name. In most cases, recipients will provide personal information themselves, so using it can be at your advantage.

Are you on AWS? If not, probably skip this.

The other answer about AWS Systems Manager is good. I recommend it.

Other way is piggybacked off of AWS IAM and CodeDeploy[0]. Users load their personal keys into CodeDeploy and you manage them through IAM. Every container/SSH machine syncs keys from CodeDeploy every 10 minutes (whatever you set the cron to).

Lastly, you can connect EC2 Instance Connect[1]

Standard PKI infrastructure can be used as a reasonable way to manage SSH access. Can issue signed certificates and revoke them as per usual.
He's fighting to tear down walls so his role as a gatekeeper is more valuable. The Epic v. Apple suit explicitly mentions that, without Apple's alleged anticompetitive behavior, Epic would build a version of their store for iOS, and it's not a huge leap to think that Epic would roll out a version of their free games program on it to drive traffic.
We simply put all the team's keys in an S3 bucket. Each server regularly syncs the bucket and updates the authorized_keys file.
I asked for examples, I don't know what you're referring to in the rest of the thread. Sure collective efforts work because of individual contributions. But I believe you can only change things collectively and asked you for an example where a single person was able to make lasting change.

I just think the individualism narrative has become dangerous, because it leads to people's refusal to participate in collective action. Or it leads people to believe they are not the "right individual", that they don't have what it takes to be the person to make change, and therefore they end up doing nothing. I don't think the collective approach leads people to "do nothing" but quite the opposite! There is no one who is "unfit" to contribute to collective action. The more people involved, the more powerful it is.
Microsoft might have done. Picking Chromium as the basis for their new Edge a couple of years ago, instead of Mozilla/Servo, was a disappointment at the time and I suspect will look even worse in future retrospectives.

MS also seem to have a lot more interest in Rust than Google do.
Oh, that looks so promising that just glancing over that page and seeing a request/allocate cycle felt like a breath of fresh air (well, good old fresh). Thanks for sharing!
The official build of Chromium tracks Google Chrome quite closely, so I feel confident assuming that the change is there as well, even though I haven't checked. But since Chromium is open source, I'm not sure anyone can really answer that question. Whether the change is in Microsoft Edge depends on how far Microsoft is willing to diverge from mainline (and where specifically they want to spend their resources).
Having played both, my opinion is that they are very different games. Satisfactory is much simpler in its mechanics.

Factorio is built on a custom engine and heavily optimized. I doubt you can build a factorio-style mega base in satisfactory and keep things performant.

Factorio has procedural map generation, enemies that build bases and attack you, blueprints, construction and logistics robots, logic circuits, incredible mod support, and you can play with dozens of people in multiplayer and things stay performant and enjoyable.

In the the two games chose a very different development cycle. Factorio released early and often and listened to their community by adding and changing what players were asking for. Satisfactory first released a game that was pretty close to finished, and released, so far, very few updates.

I will say that I enjoy both games, but for different reasons.

Microsoft has made two working browser engines: Trident and EdgeHTML. They've killed both in favor of Chromium; I don't see how it would cost them less to develop Servo than to have kept working on EdgeHTML.
> their competitiveness isn't just about their cycling stats, but buying from the cheapest source.

Well, yea. Competitive cyclists want to buy that $1000 power meter, or those $2500 ENVE wheels as cheap as possible. How many add-on products can you sell somebody who just needs a bike for commuting? Of course service is the biggest business there.

Isn't it cheaper to work with existing customers than to find new customers? All the shops near me cater to their existing customers by selling beer. All the group rides end at the bike shop and 50 people buy a pint before going home (granted this was in the past.... I have no idea how these places are still in business this year).

> I pump his tyre for him and ask if he'd like a replacement inner tube. "Not at your shop prices," he says.

That guy sucks and it must be so frustrating to deal with. I always walk out with several GUs or drink mixes when I stop by a shop. I'm sure that doesn't keep the lights on, but I try.

Somewhat different take.

The student debt problem is not really related to the college format. The format existed in earlier decades, exists in other countries and exists in K-12 education without runaway costs and student debt.

It's mostly a matter of policy. The US' method to expand third level education to most of the population was by government backed and/or subsidized loans, without price controls. This caused an inflation in credit, prices, and cost. This is reversible, but deflation is always painful.

Meanwhile, I disagree that “underwater basket weaving” degrees are the problem. At least, these tend to be real subjects that students are actually interested in. The real problem is "Online Marketing" degrees, or most business degrees excepting accounting and finance.

These business degrees are fake subjects. The material was invented for the purpose of creating a textbook, course or somesuch. Nothing they teach is useful. Worryingly, these have the greatest intake... because they're easy, and sound relevant to getting a job.

I do agree the college format should change completely, go online, etc. I think efficiency should be a part of that.

But, I also think we should try to keep the level of investment (time, money, social capital) in education high. Get efficient by doing more, not doing the same for less.
I think we're not demanding technological, remote learning enough yet! We will have to go through this charade a couple of times more.

IMO, all teaching as we know/knew it is gone. And those controlling the governance will be happy about that as it removes unnecessary costs.
