It's not that unusual to use separate AWS accounts as blast-barriers. I.e. they contain the damage that might occur due to a leak etc. I typically use 2 (prod & non-prod) for each major product/offering, plus a centralised one to manage policies, billing etc for all the sub accounts. They add up pretty quickly.

No, but wiretaps typically have scalability problems that prevent their widespread use. There's a high marginal cost (labor + equipment) with physical wiretaps, but with digital wiretaps the marginal cost is effectively zero.
Katzenberg is more of the legend. I'm not a hollywood person, but recognized the last name immediacy. He is responsible for producing The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladin, and Lion King. Basically the best Disney masterpieces ever, and the only other company to fight Pixar on the big screen. Quibi has always been a terrible idea. I hope he find great success in his next endeavor, maybe a classic USA hand drawn animation studio !!!

But what does upward mobility look like without economic growth? Either there must be corresponding downward mobility to make room at the top, or resource distribution must become more egalitarian, at the expense of the better-off. From that I'd argue that upward mobility is enabled by economic growth.

There's also Cologuard which uses a stool sample to determine if there is any cancer DNA present - if so then a colonoscopy is ordered. Much cheaper than a colonoscopy but a lot of insurance hasn't covered it, though that seems to be changing as the insurance companies realize they could save money.
I see the pattern there. I’m from Europe but worked with US management. They came with previous titles, and with good understanding on the importance of self marketing even after hired.

Actually the heat arises from the natural decay of radioactive elements within the Earth. In the far future it will be gone!

It's true that in the early history of the Earth there would have been heating from gravitational contraction of the protoplanetary disc. But as soon as the Earth swept its orbit of material this source of heating disappeared.

There's an interesting footnote in the history of physics where gravitational contraction was the proposed mechanism for solar luminosity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Solar_System_format...

I spent time with Rust, and came back to C++.

I don't miss Rust. But for two years after, I was leaving off my semicolon statement terminators. That really stuck!

I don't miss Rust for two reasons. First, the problems it solves have never been my problems. I don't code memory errors, never have. Second, it is not powerful enough. I expect my type system to do real heavy lifting for me, and Rust's doesn't, enough (although it has got stronger, since). It fell a lot further behind with C++20, and will again with C++23.

(If you don't expect as much from your language, Rust is good. It is so much better than Java or Go it's not funny. Those languages should just die.)

Death is the natural fate of new languages. It takes a miracle not to die. Java got two. Ada and Pascal got miracles, but died anyway.

Probably Go will. And Rust. Rust might survive if it could get its adoption rate up another two or three orders of magnitude, but that would take a lot more than hype. It would take an actually-fast (like 10-100x faster) compiler; there's no reason it couldn't be, it's not a stupid syntax inherited from C, from FORTRAN, with stupid aliasing semantics. And, probably, a looser model of borrow-checker enforcement in debug builds. Maybe skip two layers of IR on debug builds, and go straight to dumb x86 machine code, like Turbo Pascal? There might be other changes that would help retain newbies. But the core Rust people don't seem interested in doing them.

A thing that might make it more attractive to engineering organizations would be to get a handle on library dependencies, and figure out how to stay out of the npm rathole. It will end up with namespaces if it doesn't die, so bite the bullet and do them.
The important thing is not generalized upward mobility, but the hope of individual upward mobility. An economically stagnant society where anyone has a solid opportunity to better themselves and where no one is in a very bad nor hopeless situation would provide this well enough.
AWS credits? You can get a bunch of free credits for each account, and then build an abstraction around boto3 to make 20 accounts look like 1 account to you.
Thank you for your comment. Re: Cognex - it's interesting and good to know. I've mentioned Instrumental, because based on my brief review, Landing AI's platform focuses on exactly the same sub-domain (even specimen photos looked similar to me), not general manufacturing inspection. I have looked up info on ViDi and, based on Crunchbase, the company was founded in 2012, three years earlier than Instrumental. Thus, I admit that the label "pioneer" in my original comment is incorrect and I'm respectfully taking that part back. Nevertheless, I still think that Instrumental is the leader (or, at least, one of the leaders) in their respective category.

P.S. I glanced at your website and was pleasantly surprised to learn that you have graduated from Georgia Tech - I have recently worked at GT for 4+ years (and was affiliated with both ME and MSE schools). It's a small world ... :-)

It turned out to be a benign tumour. Surgery was my answer, but it's only a partial one. It's a soft tissue tumour, the surgeon didn't expect to get all of it, and it's growing back now. It's been about seven years, and I expect I'll need surgery again within seven more years to be able to do simple tasks like lift objects with that hand still.

Your view is the original design idea behind stored procedures.

Stored procedures as far as I know were first implemented in Sybase SQL Server. We tended to think of them as enabling RPC (remote procedure call) access to the DBMS. Sybase was also the first major relational database to offer client access through the network. Our connectivity was influenced by distributed system concepts like RPCs that were top-of-mind in the 1980s.

This seems like a realllly weak reason to write less maintainable code (harder than it needs to be for future readers to reason about). For workflows like this, you can easily use let/var while prototyping. Then once you’re done and are cleaning up the code, writing tests, etc., switch to const if the reference is never re-assigned. It’s the same in every language - when prototyping, go wild with god functions, mutable state, public everything, whatever, but clean it up and make it readable/maintained before it gets merged to master.

Also, if you’re talking about leaving mutability like this in the code long term, this really only applies to GLOBAL mutable state, and global mutable state is a terrible thing for code maintainability in any language. If it’s not global, you can’t fiddle with it later in the console anyways. Littering your program with global mutable state just because “someday, someone may want to fiddle with this in the console, and this makes that slightly easier”, that’s just not a reasonable argument.
But it hasn’t hurt Python popularity.

And before some smart-ass says it, it doesn't help that Avenues and Streets are perpendicular because that still doesn't tell N from S, or E from W. I always end up walking a block in the wrong direction just to orient myself.
The problem is that in lots of countries you can't possibly know your history because the medical system is low quality, people just die and you have no idea why your relatives have died.

No, it is even the tax office who came up with the much lower number in my case.

It is like this for everyone!

Same with depreciation rules, when I learned the rules here my teacher was actually working with the tax authorities.

Depreciation in accounting is a technicality. And if you happen to sell a thing that is technically worth 0 in the books that just becomes an extra inflow of money to the company, which is taxable and so the tax authorities get their money.

Unless you have learned accounting, be careful :-)

The challenge with the public school system is that your learning at the group pace, which means if you are smart and a fast learner, you're going to be very bored. My youngest is 8 and learning 0 to 3 times tables right now. My oldest is 11 in grade 6 and just doing his 3 times tables...

The speed of the class for my grade 6 is not keeping pace and they are doing stuff my son in grade 3 is doing.

My youngest did a 0 to 3 times table quiz up to 12 and got them all correct.

What do you do? If I let my kids go on something like KhanAcademy they will be 10x ahead of the class and probably make it unbearable to be in class.

I find public school extremely slow paced, nearly every day the kids tell them they didn't learn anything. They are constantly getting substitute teachers.

Private school is cost prohibitive but I think there's potential for a hybrid with something like KhanAcademy that could work.
Anyone can kill them in two seconds. A cop that thinks otherwise is the one who is most likely to be killed in those two seconds.

Fellow sufferer here. My doctor ordered one for me when it wasn't really called for (MD, not gastro). I'd had one recently and kind of rolled my eyes. Did I really need it? They found high dysplasia tissue (cancer precursor). Now I have a permanent ileostomy but I'm still walking around being a father and what not. If you have Crohn's, do not avoid these!
Look at the scale:

> The Earth receives 174,000 terawatts (TW) of incoming solar radiation (insolation) at the upper atmosphere [1].

> The flow of heat from Earth's interior to the surface is estimated at 47±2 terawatts (TW) [2].

Much of heat flux happens in ocean where crust is thinner.

> The Earth's crust ranges from 5–70 kilometres in depth and is the outermost layer. The thin parts are the oceanic crust, which underlie the ocean basins (5–10 km) [3]

Earth radius is 6,371 km, Earth core radius is 3,485 km, world deepest borehole is 12 km [4], they are not going to pump energy directly from the core.

World energy consumption is 18 TW [5].

We would live in a different world if balance was different. No seasons and climate zones if internal Earth energy was comparable to Sun energy. Tropics near power plants if human consumption was comparable to Sun energy.

For sure! My first colonoscopy I was sedated and enjoyed watching the screen. In fact, I remember I was making HILARIOUS jokes the entire time. I could not remember them afterwards though. My second colonoscopy my doctor sedated me again, but put me further under for reasons that remain a mystery.

Also, a year ago we buried my brother-in-law at age 53. He was diagnosed stage 4 at age 48. DO NOT DELAY your colonoscopy. I think 50 is too late to wait.

I get the sense not enough of this happens. i didn't do too too much of it in my formal computer science education. If you get to work on open source as a significant part of your time, you might at least spend a lot of time looking at someone's code, but it isn't always the best code. If you want to be a good writer, you read the greats (in various ways) not just the backs of cereal boxes.

> Have folks these days really forgotten why she was so hated? She clearly was unable to perform in the role of arguing for the french people. She was utterly divorced from their problems due to wealth disparity.

She was one of the people who was arguing for the reform of the French taxation system under the idea that maybe, just maybe, the clergy and the aristocrats ought to pay some taxes instead of levying it all on the peasantry. Truly a more despotic individual has never walked the Earth.

Pre-Revolution, a lot of the ire directed at her was driven by the fact that she was a woman who was actively engaging in politics as opposed to being a dandy who just looked pretty, hosted parties, and made babies. She was also criticized for being too extravagant with the public purse, though, so she might well have been complained about even if she did the proper societal role befitting a queen. Post-Revolution, the criticism shifts to the fact that she sided with foreign countries against Republicanism. In large part, she was made the solitary scapegoat of the failures of the ancien régime to help bolster support for the abolition of the monarchy, as she was already unpopular before the Revolution.

We were also owners once, and not all land and property was already spoke for and regulated against building more.

One of the problems that I think could help this a lot is income inequality. The economic gains are no longer that of the people working for them, but those of the ownership class. The only way to get ahead is to become an Owner, and such a thing is harder and harder as one has to compete against entire organizations of owners.

The problem with similar laws has always been that there are no proper channels. There were cases those were just flat out ignored. And in other laws released numbers showed that less than 1% of requests were denied. These requirements are for optics only, they are never in place in practice.

Another example is a police internal system to request information about citizens. That has been abused many times to spy on neighbors and even celebrities. Kind of a current topic in Germany.

It seems like a bit of a paradox. We gave up being builders in favor of increasing productivity and giving more Americans white collar jobs that improved standard of living.
