I recently joined an org that has all their eggs in the us-east-1 basket. I was warned as much by the devops lead that it was at least a partially conscious decision that the cost of multi-region would outweigh the risk. I think I'm going to start questioning that point of view.
> I never made this claim

Sorry, you're right. That's what I took away from your claim that profit encodes a signal for ethicality. I still am not sure I agree with the idea that profit represents a consensus for whether or not something is ethical. Specifically _because_ money is involved it seems like the equation is muddied.

In the food production case, more ethical choices often come with a higher price tag. E.g., I believe that cage-free eggs are more ethical, but when I was broke I would buy the cheaper eggs because I was financially incentivized to do something I found less ethical, if only in a small way. And even now, if I am in a rush to buy eggs and the store is out of cage-free, I'll still make the less-ethical decision to do what is cheaper (in terms of energy). I wouldn't say that people's ethics are determined by how much money they have, but rather people may believe that one product option is more ethical than another, but considerations about money and convenience make them sometimes behave less ethically than they would without those constraints.
Plants are not beings under any standard usage of the word. While plants certainly communicate and show some level of computational processing, there is no evidence they have subjective experiences. There is a very clearly line to be drawn between plants and animals.

And if that's not a compelling enough counterargument, there are two additional issues with trying to conflate plants and animals in this context. First, it takes far more plants to support an omnivorous diet than a plant-based diet. Second, many plant-based products are obtainable without having to harm the plant.
I'm curious if the action taken depends on broadband competition in the area - do you live in a city?
I consider this a bonus.

I wouldn't say the dating advice is bad, nor arrogant, just that it isn't as generally applicable as one might think. Of course that assumes you, to whom I'm replying, are actually tall.

It'd be like getting football advice from a 190-pound wide receiver when you weigh closer to 300. Some of the advice will still be good, but it does ignore a key difference, and you'd be better off hearing advice from offensive linemen, who'd be in your weight class.
Money absolutely makes up for it.

I used the soldier example because we as a society have decided that their PTSD and other burn-out is compensated by medical-care, and the money / benefits that the military pays you. One usually knows the serious risks of developing PTSD from being a soldier before entering. We do the same for Police Officers, and it's for these reasons that cops end up so well paid in many places.

The medical field is similar. We pay them more as a way to compensate them for the utility they bring to the world despite the risks associated with their job.

If I am lacking in empathy, than so is the rest of the world, and my particular instance of this "lack of empathy" is tiny compared to others.

If anything, we should celebrate that market forces are giving mistreated nurses a way out. I think that if anything, we should be very happy that market forces are giving disgruntled nurses a way to stick the finger to their shitty hospital management ("Oh, you won't let me have new PPE? Fu*k you I quit and I'm taking a job that pays 10x as much...")
Similarly to how people ditched GitHub when Microsoft bought it. :)

That's typical. The AWS status page is a marketing gimmick whose job is to stay green, not a good faith attempt to assess and report status. If there's an outage, seeing it accurately reflected on the status page is the exception, not the rule.
Yes. But I wonder if self-hosting their status page is really the correct decision from a marketing perspective. The people who consumes the status page on say Google Cloud probably know that Google self-hosting it is a bad decision from a technical point of view. So to the only people who care, their choice appear stupid.

So I don't really understand what they gain by doing it. I think maybe I am wrong about it being a marketing concern and that the choice is more related to internal politics and incompetent management.
Exchanged emails with him recently. Appears to be alive and well after getting forced out of fsf.
Salesforce is not a sales lead tool, it's a way to codify your sales and marketing processes into a SaaS product. To me, it becomes obvious that it's a platform then, because users need integrations to properly codify their business processes. SFDC probably has more integrations than any other piece of technology that I can think of.

When you codify your business processes, actual code is going to be needed as well. Enter Apex and heroku.

Slack is a way for SFDC to codify another part of your business processes—communication.

That said, SFDC does a lot of things that fairly give it a bad rap. Their developer experience is really bad, their apps are not that great, and lightning is still not adopted at many companies years after its release.
This goal was incredible, but with many years passed, it has faded in significance for me. Not sure why, if it is because the game has evolved, or I have seen many other great goals, or something else. But probably because I think the defense was too passive. This goal would not be done today, most probably.
IRC. I'm serious. It's free and you realize how much of the slack feature set is not productive. Yes, some different administrative challenges and not a direct substitute.
This has been misreported. The RAM is on the same chip carrier as the SoC but not built into the same silicon die. The memory bandwidth is reportedly ~68 GB/s which is good but not exceptional.
It would be easier to add something like a `forbid` policy to DMARC IMO, since you'd want to set up DMARC to monitor spoof attempts anyway. A simple `p=forbid,sp=forbid` (not real options) in DMARC would be ideal.

2020 Scrum Guide: Changes and PDF Download
Hey everyone! As you might now, 2020 Scrum Guide was published last week. I just posted this article about the most relevant changes presented in the new Scrum Guide. What are your comments on the updates? You can also download the full version.

Hope you find it useful!

Correction - the local system means that when the local system fails _for years on end_ then the remote part of society needs to step in to support those who are starving locally. But this is true, no matter how high you push things. If something kills all the okra (see Interstellar) then we'll have to fall back on spinach _as a society_ if we have one mega-farm. If everything on the planet dies off then we'll have to flee the solar system, or get support from neighbors in the local galactic cluster.
The limitations of the referee were a part of the sport, which was always about humans and stories, not the mechanical application of rules.

That's why we are here once again remembering the memorable moment that the Hand of God goal was.
Sales app -> Customizable Sales Process -> Arbitrary Customizable Process -> Platform.

Along they way they've bought a ton of companies that do various enterprisey things. Now they're a one stop shop to run everything a business might need.
> The atomic bombs were dropped in August 1945. Germany surrendered in May of 1945, before the Trinity test (first test of a nuclear device) in July!

True.

> This is far too simple - it's widely accepted that there were multiple reasons for using the bombs that do not include simple revenge.

Simple motivations are most powerful. Japan was teetering and no longer a credible threat. Air raids and the pamphlets had already weakened support for the war against US within the JPN government, considerjng most people did not agree with it initially. It was just a matter of time.
> are now routinely making 5-10K a week [...] That's far better money than most soldiers (or even FAANG engineers) make

That's not an unusual amount of money to make at L5 after a few years, and unlike the traveling nurse position, it's not temporary.

That being said, I'm glad to see hospitals competing on actual worker safety, hopefully this will encourage hospitals to have sustainable stocks of PPE in the future.
By using this “builder” syntax you gain:

• not having to distinguish special characters in the pattern being matched from special characters part of regex syntax

• no ambiguity as to whether something is a digraph or not

• no escaping hell

• unambiguous human-readable names for all the regex features used

• the ability to use whitespace to clearly separate different parts of the regex

• the ability to comment parts of the regex

It sounds great to me. Have you ever tried making a regex matching something with backslashes in it, and then you have to put that regex inside a string literal? Have you ever had to switch between different regex environments and not known which symbols require escaping, or what is the correct way to write something in a particular environment? I've had all these problems.
if nothing else, it's just not practical. fulfilling basic material needs is a tractable, if politically difficult, problem. a dollar taken at gunpoint buys just as much food as one freely given. moral qualms aside, you can force people to marry, but you can't make them care about each other.
They might also get info on links you share, as the app makes a request to get the OpenGraph metadata. Who knows.

Yeah, it is pretty sad. I'm really worried about manufacturers locking down everything, both in software and hardware.

And people just don't care because they don't know how or why it affects them, until it's too late.

Can't really force everyone to learn IT more in-depth, but maybe making IT/computing a higher priority in schools is a good idea.
What lazy thinking. No, they can't just quit and asserting they can is ignorant.

What are they going to do, go to another hospital that is going to treat them the exact same way, taking a huge step backwards in their career progression?

What if there ISN'T another hospital nearby and they do not want to have a massive commute, or worse, uproot their family and move to a new area?
AWS Having Trouble Again
So AWS is having trouble again. I am a huge public cloud advocate, BUT if you don't diversify not just with other public clouds, but with on-premise as well you are asking for it.

In 2016, I wrote about this on my blog http://tuxlabs.com/?p=430 it's not just availability people should worry about.
The "paper" is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.06090 but its analysis is not really something that you'd get published in an astronomy journal [speaking as a former professional astronomer]
It's true, we're currently in a valley of compatibility. I think it's only up from here. More and more people talk about making the Web accessible again.
It's well-documented that your weight fluctuates quite a bit from day to day. Mine goes up and down a pound or two. It has to do with the amount of water your body is retaining at any given time. Starting a new exercise routine will make your weight spike temporarily. Cutting your caloric consumption will sometimes dramatically decrease your weight, then you'll gain a little bit back, then it'll gradually go down again if you stick to a deficit.
Salesforce and Atlassian are the two big cloud things I have experince with. Both feel like they just swallow up products and duct tape them to their behemoth in what results in a complete mess.

JIRA is a 22MB download any time I go to look at my tickets and the whole experience is grindy slow.
It's almost like companies value their employee's time and don't want them dealing with non-profitable sales to hobbyists or buying small quantities to poke around and copy IP.
The Internet as conceived originally is doomed, if not already dead with no chance of a comeback. Maybe some isolated underground networks will remain with the members being branded as criminals in the best case and being sent to jail in the most probable case.
Eh? Brokering amongst multiple trusts (and managing protocol transition) is almost the raison d'etre for lifting token issuance out of your app and into ADFS, Okta, Auth0, etc.

Of course you'll have to deal with home realm discovery--really need to go in with open eyes on that one.
There is no evidence Apple is storing any information collected via OCSP for advertising, or collecting metadata along with it. Effectively all they know is an IP address and a hash identifying a developer certificate that can correspond to any of dozens of apps.
Fundrise Has Competition in Fractional Franchise Ownership
I have reported one company up to now. It was cycling through numbers sending uninvited spam.

Of course, there's no "reason" field on the report interface, so WatsApp probably won't guess that.
Another possibility is that despite graduating from a computing or engineering program, many of these people still lack the skills STEM employers are looking for.

> The rule of thumb among managers is don't hire anybody unless you're 90% sure they'll work out for at least a year.

This used to be the the way people thought, but the trend I've seen is it's becoming more and more common to just continuously fire people.

In my last two jobs at very different companies it was pretty insane the rate that good employees got fired based on "culture mismatch" related issues. Amazon and Netflix have basically normalized PIP culture at larger places, where the strategy is basically hire like crazy and then find a reason to pip anyone you don't like. The most recent startup I was at was absurdly trigger happy, gleefully firing anyone that wasn't able to read the minds of "leadership" or in anyways challenged the status quo (even if they were supposed hired to do just that).

It used to be my experience that anyone who was let go within a year was obviously a bad hire to anyone at the company. Now I see constant confusion among employees about why some of their favorite coworkers are being let go. Maybe I'm just unlucky in places I've been recently, or very lucky about places I've been before, but it certainly looks like a strange shift in the environment.
I am all for developer ergonomics, and I'm a fan of Ruby... but the problems this library would add to a codebase/project seem too big to be worth the benefits:

- non-standard syntax requiring its own documentation, which developers would have to consult separately (even if they already know regular expressions) to modify generated regular expressions

- removing the ability to test and validate regular expressions independently of the codebase (say, in the terminal, a small shell script, or using an online tool)

- a new rabbit hole to traverse when debugging a problem

- assuming the security risks associated with handing over regex-building to a library built by someone else (even more so if the regex is parsing private or protected data)

- adding a new dependency that may or may not be maintained in the future

For those who would want to use this library, I would suggest using a separate tool to build and/or understand regular expressions. Here's one example, and I'm sure there are others: https://regexr.com/
As far as I know, critical thinking is an explicit part of the school curriculum everywhere in the US. Do you know of an area where it's not taught?
slack market cap 20b and at the time of their IPO only half the stock was listed

salesforce revenue 20b

are they really going to pay 40b for something that makes 400m a year? I get they're paying in stock but forgive me for not understanding the synergies here

After spending billions of dollars on lobbying to corner the market Physicians and hospital workers are tired.

I'm sure they sleep fine in their multi million dollar homes.

My best solution is to create a Science based healthcare alternative as competition to current Authority based healthcare system.

Regarding COVID, Do we really need someone to spend 14 years to learn to put a ventilator in? Or can we teach this 1 specific job in 1500 hours of training? Can we teach people how to use oxygen as almost 90% of patients don't need anything beyond oxygen?
That's an interesting way to put it but I can definitely relate. When the people talk about abstract lofty political ideals all the time, it might well be the case that they have no idea what they're actually doing, or it could be a way for them to mask/deflect from the fact that their actual engineering skills are very limited. It creates a vicious cycle and a culture that drives people who actually want to do great work away.
I can’t see how this isn’t celebrating dishonesty and unsportsmanship - both things that undermine sport not make it.
It's possible that he was sort of a big deal? Just something to consider next time you are thrown for a loop while scrolling to find the latest Python news.
For anyone reading this that may be a major donor or board member at a hospital:

That seems apt. Slack comes in with a strong brand of its own, like Heroku but moreso. The integration will probably be more of a bridge model than a consumption one.
The OP did not make a good point - they made a Nirvana Fallacy. And your analogy in no way captures that argument anyway.

Zulip is an excellent user experience, and when deployed self-hosted is also quite secure. The only thing it doesn't have is federation, which would involve rethinking security.

In facebook case, the events that culminated with genocide is one answer to your why.

Besides, both Facebook and Twitter moderated beyond "illegal" basically from the day one.
Four decades, ICF has been predicted to reach break even at one kilojoule (kJ) of energy in 1972, then 5 kJ, 10kJ, 100kJ, 200kJ, and finally 1.8 MJ by 1979 and the construction of three generation of lasers that all proved the predictions wrong.

The NIF is the fourth shot at this, and has a target performance about an order of magnitude less power that what experimental tests (using nuclear weapons) indicate is needed to be directly supplied to the fuel.
If they refuse to work during the greatest health crisis of the past century that is going to forever tarnish their record and may impact their ability to find a job in the future. Doctors often have hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans and don't have skills that can easily transfer to other lines of work. They don't have a choice but to work through this.
Physicians do.
Can’t up-vote this enough. The myth is just laziness in not wanting to have hard conversations and establish feedback that corrects behavior or fills gaps in skill sets. Invest in your people. That “bad apple” may have some things going on at home that they are unaware of how it’s affecting them.

That “bad apple” could have a grievance no one is willing to listen to.

That “bad apple” could have a better idea that was shutdown during an “open discussion” meeting.

Before you go and point the finger at the new hire, it’s best to fully examine yourself.
Could you imagine seeing headlines about people dying because of people like you walking out during a crisis? And knowing you contributed to those deaths? And where are you going to go? Switch industries in the middle of this? Because if you stay in healthcare, walking out of your single facility doesn't even get you away from the pandemic. I have friends burning out in healthcare, being paid terribly, but sticking it out because it's a fucking pandemic and people are dying. Try some empathy.

It's much more standard for people to just walk away when the moral stakes are low, like they tend to be in tech. If someone can't log into HN because you walked out, who cares? But just because it's money-or-walk in our industry doesn't mean that's how it is for others.
The reality is that an absent DKIM TXT record does not really tell whether the server-in-question is a legacy mail server or a new domain without mail servers (and you cannot do this with WHOIS filtering because some ccTLDs does not store when the domain was first acquired, only when it was last renewed). At least if you are putting a blank key, it will signal to supported mail servers that it is a positive fail, and not a possible legacy mail system.
Nurses are massively overpaid? Are you kidding?
> why "in Africa"?

Because, as I wrote a couple posts before "an average (meta consumption) in North and Central Africa of 10kg/person/year which is optimistic for some of the countries there"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_meat_cons...

- Congo - 100 million people - 5.3kg/person/year

- Eritrea - 110 million people - 7.7kg/person/year

- Mozambique - 30 million people - 7.8kg/person/year

- etc. etc.

In Africa many countries don't have enough to feed their children and it's worst on average then in the rest of the World.

I don't think that chicken is waste (it is in fact the main type of meat they eat in Africa), I think feeding pythons in some western home with chicken is a waste.

They could feed them with mice they breed in their garages.

At least that's what my friend who own reptiles do

At my job we use Quip strictly for collaborative design docs (i.e. architectural design, project scope, tutorials etc). Personally I don't think it can be a true wiki platform since it lacks robust indexing -- this is without doubt its biggest shortcoming.
