I think this feature lends itself well to tight feedback loops, as you said. However, after I crossed the painful divide from CloudFormation novice to... well, whatever is after that, CloudFormation rollbacks became a friend instead of an enemy. The ability to return to the last known good checkpoint is a powerful feature that is extremely useful in production systems and the pipelines that deploy them. In those scenarios, you're not experimenting and learning, but enhancing and evolving existing infrastructure.
If you assume Tether is on the up and up: yes, this is absolutely correct. This also means there are $17B USD in a bank account somewhere, and you can go hand $1M in Tether in and get $1M USD back. Problem is, nobody has ever managed to do that.

If, however, you assume Tether is engaged in a conspiracy with crypto exchanges: Tether prints USDT and buys BTC from a friendly exchange, demand for BTC will go up when people see the difference between USDT-BTC and USD-BTC and try to arbitrage. Tether then sells BTC for USD.

Which is more likely? You can be the judge, but the fact that "exiting USDT for dollars" typically means "selling it for USDC" makes me pretty pessimistic about the first.
I am blown away by this. Very simple and elegant. Nice Job.

> having children housed with whatever adult they cross the border with

What is the threat model here? If the adult they are crossing with is trying to sell the child in the US, then having the adult and child detained together still prevents this.

Also, at $250 for a paternity test, wouldn't a cost-benefit analysis make it rational to do that rather than risk the (more expensive) harm of separating a child from their parent?

The Schrodinger Equation is obviously wrong in gravitational scenarios, because it is expressed in a background classical t that does not exist in GR, let alone a future theory of QG.
Over a decade ago, google used to offer benefits to their employees including those who were in a relationship that wasn’t marriage. In otherworldly gay couples. The policy was neutral and straight couples could take advantage of it.

Well irs policy doesn’t allow tax free benefits in this fashion. So employees had to pay extra income tax that was “imputed” from these taxable benefits. And google paid the employees extra taxes.

Is this a political position? Would it make sense for google to cheer for sale sex marriage which reduces their own financial burden? Is it the right thing to do?

Or consider immigration... many high tech companies have substantial immigrant work forces. The thin wedge of the “Muslim ban” in 2017 was a threat to their businesses.

So it makes total sense that a company would engage in politics. Since some of the hot button political issues today boil down to “who is human and who gets full rights?”, yeah that’s a fight that one cannot turn a back to, and many companies cannot.

An example of overengineering things.

Animals (specifically corvids) don't measure things by weight and determine an exchange rate, they just look at them with a 1:1 ratio and check for similarity.

In this particular set up, they would simply correlate food with particular types of trash that they have been trained with and dump only those kinds of trash into the apparatus. To them, tearing up the trash would be more effort than finding new trash.
>Should Alan Turing have been able to put himself in a lower tax bracket by filing jointly with his 19-year-old roommate?

If he could do that with a female roommate why shouldn't he be allowed do that with his male roommate? It isn't reasonable to object to gay marriage on a technicality like that while also being fine with the laws regarding straight marriage.

It forces you to write "good" code.

I think it's Python's only real strength. The language is ugly, the interpreter is a genuinely deficient way of making software ("Why use a compiler when you can just write thousands of unit tests to check for syntax errors!?"), and the mechanisms for abstraction are fairly weak - even after all that, n00b Python code is fairly readable.
The one thing that finally works for me for backup is restic (https://restic.net/). I use linux and set my home dir to a different partition, Run a daily script that uses restic to backup to backblaze. Smooth as butter and hopefully I don't need to use it. Curious what this uses under the hood, wouldn't be surprised if it was restic.

Enjoyed reading the post but find it glosses over the easiest way to escape competition, doing something unique. It's a safe bet that uniqueness will become ever more disproportionately rewarded in the near-future.

This can mean developing a unique perspective or using your existing, unique experiences to do something no one else can. The trouble of course is that as general advice, it's all hand-wavy and each individuals specific situation has its own context and limitations. Everyone is forced to figure it out without the benefit of direct examples, by definition.

I think the single best "starter advice" for someone interested in taking this direction is to train your mind to be habitually observant. Meditation is one way but other good techniques exist as well. Coming up with something unique almost always involves figuring out how a "weird" piece of external reality fits.
Maybe I'm a weirdo but I rather like his first example of "unless you want your site to look like this". The red is a bit much but it is an error message, after all. Overall it looks like the iconic Santa Fe Railroad "bluebonnet" color scheme:

> It's important to note that there are no real rules here like "start at 50% lightness" or anything — every color behaves a bit differently, so you'll have to rely on your eyes for this one.

My hunch is that this is dependent on contrast. I've also seen several comments talking about designing in black and white first and then adding colour. A lot of this feels similar to painting. When learning to paint you first learn to paint in black and white to understand values (lightness/darkness) and contrast. This is not directly related but there's a great video on painting that shows how the colour picker's values can be deceiving in showing the true brightness/contrast of colours. If anyone's interested in how colours truly relate to brightness this video is definitely worth a watch -> https://youtu.be/gJ2HOj22gDo

Their experience is accurate. If you use CloudFormation for anything non-trivial you’ll be rudely corrected from thinking that this works and then spend time migrating to Terraform so you never go through that again, plus you’ll get support for most new AWS features faster. I spent 2019 & early 2020 helping people make that switch after getting burned by the CF “impossible” situations happening.
Yeah, I never knew this was possible with an XT, and had never ‘seen’ a tape port.

Not at all. I agree with your point. I was just pointing out that the math isn't very accurate.
I think it is more if Node A calls something on Node B, things should be correct initially. But then I update the code on Node B and didn't change anything on Node A, the code is now "incorrect". In this case, just because it compiles, doesn't mean it works.

Very true.

I have a touch less than 3 diopters of astigmatism, and have difficulty with chromatic aberation already, especially with pictures made only of red and blue (such as some micrographs with various fluorescents).

RGB led indicators also get resolved into a red and adjacent blue dot with some frequency (no pun intended).

It is worse since aging, presbyopia, and switching to progressive lenses, even with only 1.25 to 1.75 of near vision correction.
I got news for you, this already happens all the time, without nominally different pricing, just pricing for different SKUs. The arbitrage is realized by producers.
You can't compare internet comments to in-person discussion. Internet conversation has far less bandwidth.

All we have are little text blobs and those are much more subject to misinterpretation and hostility. We all have to deal with this by adapting our comments to the available medium.

Now you're assuming that what I said applies only to FANG companies. I've also worked and gotten job offers from many non-FANG companies, across multiple industries, and they were all using the above data points to make entry-level hires. I only brought up FANG because they are the biggest and most well-known employers.

I've already read that article and I don't see the relevance, unless you're trying to imply that I'm a prestige-chaser just because I've worked at FANG companies
Your argument was it was a good expense because it is popular, yet an uninvolved company is making more, so perhaps the purchase was unnecessary.

Why on earth would a legitimate whale be dropping money into bitfinex and tether lol, they barely have banking relationships. They have at times literally not had access to withdrawals — because they were pretending not to be who they are and were caught by Wells Fargo. A few times if memory serves. You think a whale is dropping $2 billion dollars of new money into tether prints via bitfinex?! What kind of mad man would do that when they have access to Coinbase and Gemini, where they could actually get their money back out?

Remember this is newly printed tether which means net deposits of new actual usd, if you believe them - and of course I do not.

Everything you do is political. Advertising on certain channels like MSNBC or Fox News will cause some customers to boycott you. Even trying to go carbon neutral is a stance. Show gay couples in your ads, that’s also a politely statement.

I agree, I thought the same thing when I hit that section. "What's wrong with that?"
There was limits before, but last two+ years it's unmetered without asterisk.
In principle it sounds convincing but in practice we are currently giving up our data for free so it reminds me a bit of the free software argument. Sure I agree but isn't something better than nothing? We are not giving up rights to make future advancements by asking for a compromise that may be more within reach.

In particular, I think this idea of trading your data is easy to understand and communicate. Also, could it be the case that as soon as companies are forced to offer a price for your data a lot of the predatory data collection schemes may not be profitable enough as a result? I imagine you can't just make a crappy app and start collecting user info en masse because it now incurs a real cost.
Also I think data should be traded precisely where every data point generated should be worth something. Not just as a one time thing.

Kraken has many banking partners and do require KYC. A larger issue is that not everyone is in America but still require USD as is it is the most liquid exchange pair. I guess that this leads to many trusting USDT over American based tokenised dollars that are more subject to US courts. A better option could be DAI . though that is only backed by crypto assets thus far.
>That's like supporting a protection racket... Wow.

Precisely. A mere sample of the protection afforded:

This same former intelligence official is “adamant” that evidence of such extraordinary renditions within the United States does not exist. It would be a “huge leap” for Chinese intelligence to shift from employing extreme pressure tactics to performing actual hands-on kidnappings in the United States, the former official says. “You want to come to this country and start kidnapping and killing people? Game on.”

I don't see the link between:

and:

"children and their parents must be housed together when incarcerated"

That clause (perhaps the entire UN declaration of human rights) seems incredibly ambiguous. Reading the whole declaration seems like it, perhaps, means protection of the specific enumerated rights of part 16 sections 1/2 which seems basically like the right for anyone to marry or not anyone they want and for that person to terminate the marriage when they choose.
This isn't strictly true.

While traceability and tamper-proofing are prerequisites for preventing right-to-repair, they're also needed for things like maintaining supply-chain-integrity, which is becoming a adjacent, but different concern.

The bicycle industry has a problem in that prices on consummable parts have far outstripped the rate of inflation. There is no reason for decent chains, tires, and cassettes to cost $60+ when they were $30 20 years ago. Motorcycle parts are comparatively cheaper for just as much engineering rigor, far more material input, and lower available consumer base for North Am. It's all about the price gouging for the OEMs.

Small counterpoint: many people who buy instruments want to buy the actual instrument they try out. Quality in guitars (and other instruments) is wide enough that one might play well, while another of the same model plays like a worse, cheaper instrument. Buying a guitar untested/online (even the same model you tried in store) has a large amount of risk that decreases with the instrument price, but not always and not as quickly as you might expect.
This. If it doesn’t work with the Arduino IDE/platformio, I would rather not use it. What these manufacturers should do is invest in integrating with these SDKs instead of creating their own. And they should document everything to the level that IPFS is documented (just an example of excellent documentation that comes to mind). Do those two things and you got a winner even if the device itself isn’t technically the superior choice.

I don't care what side of the political aisle you side with: It's insane that pharma companies and the healthcare system in general can hold people hostage. A friend of mine has Leukemia and takes Gleevec. Thankfully he has a good job because it costs something like $14,000/month. Yep, you read that right, $14,000. Yes it's covered by insurance. But that's not some magical money tree paying for it, we're collectively paying for it. My son's a type 1 diabetic and we hit our out of pocket max of about $9,200 every single year to pay for his insulin pump & glucose monitor supplies. An older family member of mine had cancer surgery - in the hospital for 5 days total and came out with a $150k bill.

America's great as long as you're not sick.

I lean left and right on many different issues, but holy shit America's healthcare system is ass-backwards compared to the rest of the world, which has figured out how to keep people alive if some unfortunate event happens without making them worry about deciding to pay for groceries or pay for medicine/healthcare. Anyone that thinks otherwise is brainwashed. Yes there are horror stories in other countries, but they don't include bankrupting people who were grossly overcharged for their care, or people rationing their medication because they can't pay for it. Fuck the current US healthcare system.

A single-payer system makes sense and it works everywhere else on the planet. The American people's refusal to get it reminds me of the not-invented-here syndrome we see in tech everyday.

>>If the disease is contained, we not only avoid the chance of being infected but we also have a shot at normality.

There is no normality with incredibly disruptive restrictions in place.

>If the disease is not contained and allowed to ravage the world then all we get is the despair of having people dying left and right while hospitals are saturated far beyond capacity and unable to respond to any need.

First of all, the average age of death for the coronavirus is something like 79. For most age groups, the virus is not extremely dangerous - even if it were allowed to spread like wildfire in a population without immunity, far more people under 50 will die from causes other than COVID19 in the virus' first year of exposure to humans. So no, society will not far into despair. 2.8 million people die in the US every year, and people seem to be able to continue to function.

Second, this doesn't go on indefinitely. Eventually people die or recover, with immunity. A population fully subjected to one wave of a virus will be far lessa affected in subsequent waves.

Agree with pretty much every point in the blog.

I would add to the list the fact that for_each cannot be used with pre-computed values.
So if you have a module/resource that outputs a list of resources, you can't just plug it into another resource and use for_each to iterate on.

I also think that using multiple state files is the only way to keep the config from being too fragile. Which is another point in which Terraform provides very little help and why Terragrunt is a popular combo.
