This is just proof that not everyone is following the same narrative that you’re personally following or understands reality the same way you do.

It’s beyond me how that job post would make sense to anyone besides someone who is disconnected from the usual contending rhetorics Amazon is involved in.

Nobody raised a flag on how that would look like for them? You gotta be pretty oblivious to read that and say “yeah that looks good to me”.

I’m not even discrediting the value or purpose of that particular position since I have zero context besides the ad but I don’t understand how can you sprinkle those terms and reference those specific groups without reflecting deeply how it could be perceived.
I imagine if anyone destroyed that many satellites in one orbit, the amount of debris flying around would make replacing them pretty difficult without first dealing with all the debris zooming around.

Hi there, I couldn't find a way to disable built-in logging & analytics to log.lunar.fyi. Is there a setting to disable any network requests other than for software updates? Thanks!
This is their business. This is how they want to run it. We can either boycott them or not. I have worked most of my life in mega big corporations, and I cannot say "oh I didn't know that bankA did this and bankB did that". I am either stupid, complicit or indifferent.

Amazon will look after Amazon's interests (aka the shareholders). The little people have rights defined by laws. As long as they are not breached, Amazon (and every Amazon out there) will match on.

To avoid any misunderstanding, I do not condone the majority of Amazon's practices and thus I don't buy from them (or at least they are low in my list of preferred options). But since we got capitalism, and since the US is the HQ of capitalism.. then why is anyone surprised? Facebook will spy. Amazon will squeeze every cent they can, and so on..
Can you elaborate? The wiki says it combines hard-realtime with soft-realtime. It sounds like it depends how you configure it but this is the first I’ve read of it so I could be mistaken.
I use an eGPU, so I have a 4x instead of a 16x PCIe 3.0 link with a 1080Ti and even that doesn't make much difference, some games blit/do more system <-> gpu transfers than others (APEX, I'm lookin at you) and there's a noticeable perf impact for the most part it's negligible. I wouldn't worry at all about PCIe 3.0 vs 4.0.
Another way of looking at disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima is not so much as failures of technology -- but of bad policy, and it's generalization: hubris.

Isn't this an associate's/technical degree? To be a successful engineer/doctor/lawyer, you need some non-STEM coursework for communication, ethics, or just to expand your view.

Iam consuming twitch for about 2 years now and started with gaming streams (Usually I play one game casual and looking for some streamer that fits skill and personality wise and watch him/her - right now this is magic for me).

I didnt mean the no value as in "you get nothing back for your money". Streaming is hard work - I dont doubt that. And it entertains me a lot so I dont mind paying some money.

But OTH I watched a streams where people literally donated thousands of dollars to the streamer (In the specific case even twitch refused to take the money and banned the person who spend it because they thought of money laundering). Iam really interested how this will develop the future of media consumption. Also I feel older every day.
How is workers' rights for white collar at Amazon? I guess the company culture is ever prevailing, or is it a apartheid system?
Your thesis seems to be, right now things are good therefore at no point in the future will a 'bad actor' government make Facebook comply and facilitate whatever they need to fulfill their goals. Matter fact, there could be a long term scenario were the company gets nationalized or the data centers confiscated and that's the end of it. This is why other countries don't let foreign social networks operate in their 'digital soil', they are aware of the power of it.

The irony is that this same mentality of 'everything is good' was the same mentality that people probably had when they walked over to auto-register on the census as Jewish back in the day. They just didn't see it coming. If we can learn something from history is that every 100-200 years the status quo gets thrown out the window.

Yes! It already is in fact. The ECS documentation provides the list of Bottlerocket AMI's you can launch into your ECS clusters: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/...

Very true. My wife remarked once how sad she feels for some friends that we know that are poor.

Of course my plan is to someday retire and live like a king, their plans is to live off of social security...

Sure, but you're already treading in murky legal waters.

Just this posting could be viewed as Amazon trying to create the impression that it is actively surveilling labor organizing activities, which it's illegal to suggest, even if you're not actually engaging in that practice.
Because AFAIK Instagram and Facebook's apps rely on them not being adult platforms due to the App Store and Play Store guidelines.
That is an example. Not a literal description of my facebook feed.

>It's easy to sit back and call for Facebook to change the channel for me. It's much more difficult to be the channel of change.

The point is that these are two separate things that should both happen and should enable each-other in a positive feedback loop. I wouldn't phrase it in as dismissive a way as calling for facebook to "change the channel for me". Rather, I would say that I don't want facebook picking the channel for me in the first place.
Yeah, I never understood these comments. I went from the 8-bit generation on up and never thought PSX/Saturn/n64 games looked “real”; just better and more options than before. I don’t think I ever considered a game “realistic” until the mid-late 00’s.

Right, so bad for business. Great for most workers though.
Even the Helicopter may not be necessary if you can start with a BASE jump. Or set up a catapult.
I don't exactly see it this way.

Every person has a right to defend themselves. Even guilty ones, because until proven, how would you decide they are or they aren't guilty to figure out they have right to defend?

Most people don't know the law enough to adequately defend themselves. Even though you have the option, you would usually be well advised to use help of somebody that knows the law very well because knowing it is their profession and helping you is responsibility.

Just think about this, half of the population has intelligence below mean (ha! not average! but close). You need to generally be highly intelligent to be able to adequately dispute and represent yourself in a court.

So while I loath the fact that criminals use lawyers to escape prison I also recognize that this is their right and that lawyers serve an important function in a society the same way policemen who stop you for speeding or tax auditor looking through your papers do.
I’ve always wondered why the FCC was in charge of regulating T cells.
Yeah, (dis)honesty isn't what was noteworthy about this. It's just optically very strange. Like, the fact that they employ people to do this is totally unsurprising to me, but the fact that they're willing to say so in public job posting seems really tone-deaf. Like, what hiring manager thought this was a good idea, and how oblivious must they be of how Amazon is publicly perceived?
It is funny (to me anyway) that the nanosecond wires she used to give out take rather more than a nanosecond to traverse.

The speed of signal propagation is largely determined by the density of the wire's insulation, because the signal is an electromagnetic wave carried at the skin of the conductor, with its electric field oscillating in the insulation, so propagation is limited by properties of that. The distance covered in a nanosecond is typically between seven and eight inches. In wires with foam insulation (typically co-ax) signals go a little faster. In optical fiber, a nanosecond is under seven inches, because the speed is determined by the same property of the glass, which is denser.
> Don’t base your world view on anecdotes from a carefully edited documentary. In reality almost all the customers know it’s a fantasy, so what’s wrong with fantasies?

I'm not sure what you mean. The documentary seemed fairly middle-of-the-road and interviewed both fans as well as models. It's pretty clear that parasocial relationships aren't healthy (whether it's with a game show host or an Onlyfans model), so I would definitely push back against "almost all the customers know it’s a fantasy."

You're probably thinking of storing it as some linked list but that doesn't work with mathematical abstractions (which is my point).

For example in mathematics if you write "C = A + B" and then you ask what A is, it's still always going to be the same.

To make this work in programming you basically have to make all your data structures persistent[1]. AFAIK you would need a store the list as a finger tree or something if you need fast concatenation and that will still only be O(log(n)) [2].

A $200 chair is cheap, and capital equipment. It is a tool, it provides continuous value, has a warranty and solves a problem.

$200 for the same picture and a "thank you, u so cute xoxo" is not the same as the chair.

It does solve a few problems though, that, in some people, put first over having a chair.
I understand what you’re referring to, but calling it a “mental disorder vibe” is just insulting people for no good reason.

Are you commenting on the optics or the ethics?

In a broader context, I don’t understand how others see this as a victory. As if taking the job post down means it’s not still part of their strategy.
How is it going to help those people who lost their income in the middle of the COVID outbrake? Should I just trust the German authorities with the same trust as 1 year ago? Sorry but no.
Why is this a surprise? If you work in infosec at any multinational you would know activists (hacktivism) and hostile nations/leaders are a serious threat you track. Has no one heard of Dataminr? What do people think it's used for. The "labor" part is a bit unusual but given their business it kinda makes sense.

This reminds me of how back in 2016 right before November US elections,I read threat intel reports and conference style presentations from threat intel vendors talking in detail about Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump and the Steele dossier, this was before buzzfeed decided to publish it (all other media refused at the time). This is all public stuff now but big corps are very interested in learnig about the latest strategic intel so they can adopt. And that's perfectly fine so long as no laws are broken. This is similar to how big corps get a scoop on emargoed CVEs so they can patch before it's made public. A lot of times this is what intelligence community people do when they want to settle down and make money. I'll bet good money whoever they hire has background at FBI,NSA or DIA.

> They are then vital for memory recollection.

Even if specific proteins are needed for memory creation (which is debatable [1]) it doesn't mean you need to model those proteins to retrieve the stored memories from the structures that they created. You can read data from a hard drive without modeling the CPU or memory bus of the computer that stored the data.

Please don't strawman me by implying that I'm advocating for freeing rapists. That's not productive, nor is it discussing in good faith.

Let me give you some stats from the Wikipedia article I linked, which I encourage you to read:

"tough-on-crime" laws adopted since the 1980s have filled US prisons with mostly nonviolent offenders.

46% of state prisoners serving > 1 year are serving time for a nonviolent offense. (I flipped this around from "54% of state prisoners serving > 1 year are serving time for a violent offense).

15% of state prisoners have been convicted of a drug offense as their most serious infraction.

And here's the source the Wikipedia article links called "Why Texas is closing prisons in favour of rehab" [1].

That's hundreds of thousands of people serving harsh sentences for nonviolent and drug offenses. It's pretty well known at this point that the US criminal justice system has serious problems and is--again--extremely expensive. I encourage you to google around and read up on it.

> I get the impression that mirrorless cameras are going to be a step back on all brands for astrophotography due to heat issues.

Not really. I do a lot of astrophotography with a DSLR, but use the DSLR effectively as a mirrorless camera. I also regularly wedge in filters that prevent use of the SLR mechanism anyway. Considering my total exposure times are regularly in excess of 2 hours, heating isn't really any different from mirrorless, and mirrorless would be a blessing for its versatility and simplicity.

The only real way to combat heat issues for exposures that long is a cooled sensor.
