I tend to view birthdays, weddings, and Christmas as the worst time to give a gift. Your gift is likely to be considered a social obligation (because it is), and people may judge it against other gifts they received.

What's the major difference between what you're suggesting and a CRM?

I tend to think back of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and there's an entire chapter devoted to what is basically an analog CRM and devoting time to staying up to date with it (including scheduling calls).

If anything I think a CRM applies even more because I care more about friends and family than I do about a sales pipeline. More effort = more importance, in my book.

Also there's the added bonus of not having to remember these things so I can focus on remembering more useful things.
Don't do an ETF. Use your career knowledge to invest in companies and sectors you understand. Tech companies are doing great, and are already a massive part of the S&P. Why give away that advantage? Diversification (via ETF) is for people who are too ignorant or apathetic to choose better.

The logical thing to do here is to simply rebuild it, right?

I mean all the infrastructure is there. Power, networking, housing, staff, etc., etc. Like there couldn’t ever be a more convenient place to drop a similar type of instrument, right?

And it seems that the towers are still up, surely the anchors for the cables are no worse for wear. The actual dish itself looks to be composed of a bunch of panels that are probably designed for easy replacement. And most of them seem to still be intact.

Just string up a newer, lighter weight, more powerful state of the art instrument array on a newer, stronger, lighter set of cables.

Or am I missing something obvious?
Does it offer plausible deniability like dm-crypt?

That's because keeping track of request state is not free. Ask an edge router. If you have a request open, even though it's not doing CPU, that request has to be in a queue somewhere, tracked for a response that can be transmitted back.

I don't know the infra costs of operating lambda, but my guess is that it's far from CPU-dominated.

I would not be surprised if the Cloudflare pricing model is making a tradeoff to make CPU-bound workloads pay for more of the infra than the rest. It's a valid trade-off to make as a business offering, and it might be feasible given the mixture of workloads. Whether it's the right way is debatable. Whether this model can be tanked by an army of actors taking advantage of CPU-insensitive pricing remains to be seen, or is an acceptable risk that you can take (which you can observe and protect against).
The "Chats" under "Important" is a gmail tag/label for the messages that are archived into your gmail account from the messaging app.

Your understanding of computers does not seem correct at all... But maybe it's my understanding that wrong. I don't know.

C64 demos and 8088 DOS demos use very little OS infrastructure. Obviously things like JavaScript demos do.

The challenges presented by a particular piece of hardware or software in the demo scene are chosen for different reasons.

Sometimes, the demo author wants to show how well they can use the existing OS infrastructure. Sometimes they want to show what can be done without it. In both cases, small sizes are impressive.
Well that's the thing. Transparency is a dependency of trust. And as it stands, I for one ain't seeing a lot of the transparency, seeing as how (AFAICT) we can't see "under the hood". The lack of a published privacy policy is another red flag; publishing that policy - and including the necessary provisions to ensure that Slyde or any future owners/operators thereof will always put user privacy first - would go a long way toward establishing that transparency and therefore trust.

That said, it's a similar problem with DuckDuckGo: how do we know they're respecting users' privacy? DDG has it easy, since they're a search engine; absolutely nothing about their product requires storing any info about their users whatsoever, and thus (as far as anyone knows, and as far as they say) they don't. Slyde, however, is a social network, which makes the collection and storage of data much harder (if not impossible) to avoid.
Malicious actors are among the best aware of security issues and thus concentrate on the services with the highest security grade.

That being the cause of these services being flagged as malicious is... "unfortunate", to stay polite.

NoRedInk | Full-Stack and Site Reliability Engineers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re a growing ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become better writers! NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform. If you're looking to join a team of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other, discuss past mistakes openly as we adapt to the challenges that come with progress, all while realizing our mission, then you'll be excited to learn more about us.

Our colleagues span six time zones, California to Berlin and points in between, with lively discourse flowing freely across Slack, Zoom, and the office when we're able to be there. Wherever we're working from, we've always deligted in our work to ship new features—beginning with our curriculum and product teams, designers, through to testing by our dedicated quality assurance folks—that put teachers and students first. [1]

Our engineering team [2] takes prides in producing innovative, maintainable software. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our front-end development. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, though we're actively moving toward Haskell services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure configured with Chef and OpsWorks, though we're migrating towards orchestration using Kubernetes. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. We've also developed and maintain several useful open-source projects. [3] You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog. [4]

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness.
If that's you, you can learn more about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6], and you should definitely apply through our jobs page! [7]

> S3 consistency is available at no additional cost and removes the need for additional third-party, services, and complex architecture.

I wonder whether any companies/businesses solely depended on offering eventual consistency workarounds that probably now need to pivot.
Probably more than a hundred; there are teams of dozens at the good corporate security groups and an unknown number working for governments and other organizations that don’t appear as publicly.
I've been using this for some time now. It seems like development has slowed down a lot this past year.

I think it has a lot of potential.
Do you really think your colo provider is going to ignore government notices to disconnect you?
Huh, right you are. I did a cursory search, but whatever I saw clearly was wrong.

That said, something is going on that I can't explain:

# Default settings for aws

(I did multiple runs, though not hundreds so I can't say with certainty this would hold)

I swear the difference was worse in the past, so maybe things have improved. Still not worth the added slowness to me for my use cases.
Not sure if this was already argued elsewhere as I understand that monica gets posted here frequently, but on the readme:

> This project is for people who have hard time remembering details about other people's lives - especially the ones they care about.

My argument is, if you actually cared for someone, wouldn't you take the effort to remember everything about them, rather than saving it in a social relationship database?

I've tried something similar to this during my college days. I painstakingly inputted all my phone contacts to google contacts. I searched their facebook for their birthdates, what university they were attending and what degree they were studying.

Looking back at it now, that was a tremendous waste of time. I've met maybe 1000 people in my lifetime, I could count in my ten fingers the people I care about. Can people actually care about other people, AT SCALE, to the point where you would need an app for that? I've read in other comments, one case in particular, where an uncle kept a spreadsheet of facts about the people he cared about, and that many people went to his funeral. So fine maybe people do need something like this to scale personal relationships.

My other argument is that this FEELS ungenuine, and I'm not sure how else to explain it. Saving your friend's child's birthday in a database just so you can say that you remembered vs actually remembering their birthday; I feel like there is a huge gap between the two. I would rather have 1 genuine relationship, rather than 100 superficial, inauthentic relationships.

What do you think?
That this is clearly a partisan issue for you in your own words instead of an issue of Americans receiving their due representation is disappointing.
It's just a different set of problems to deal with not less problems. Not sure why they feel the need to hide it.
The YouTuber "techmoan" has done a few videos on the hardware that ran various background music systems, and one that stands out is the 3M Cantata, which had some massive tape cartridges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WQbJ0VFrFQ

There are also systems with smaller cartridges https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_5DPvPiUMY

Understandable...and as I've mentioned elsewhere, we do also use physical hardware in datacenters. It's a situation of only for the things that need it for us.
Another popular background music system was sold by Seeburg (the jukebox manufacturer). You bought a Seeburg 1000 Background Music System and then subscribed to a service that mailed you double-sided vinyl records that were stacked into the unit and played back continuously. Records were mailed back at the end of a period.

> To do similar with physical servers requires a massive stack of people and salaries. The ongoing recruiting costs to maintain staffing would dwarf what the AWS bill is.

No no they wouldn't. Number of people is equal for both, its just different tasks they have to do.
I think the answer lies in the sentence "people who don’t have much control over their daytime life refuse to sleep early in order to regain some sense of freedom during late-night hours". Now, obviously, very few people have complete control over their daylight hours -- we need jobs, after all. But we can still feel like we're in control if we at least agree with the path we're on. If you're struggling with 'revenge bedtime procrastination', consider whether you feel in control of the direction your life is heading, and if not, how you might wrest some of that control back.
The major differences for me are intent, whether it's retaining more information than you'd normally remember (which seems creepy and intrusive) and whether it's a paid service or subscription.

1. Intent design: CRM seems designed principally as a sales tool and I don't want to sell or be sold to.

2. Information retention: I think regular calendar/contacts/reminders built into your phone balances the "don't forget important stuff" with "don't make an effort to keep track of things that aren't important."

3. Paid service/subscription: I'm OK with contacts apps but I kind of have contacts, notes, and a calendar built into my phone already and have no desire to pay a subscription fee.

Elaborating on (1) a bit: I don't really set out to "influence" my friends and I'd be kind of unhappy if they were trying to "influence" me.

Influencing family might make more sense though, like influencing kids to study or family members to exercise and eat a healthy diet.

The danger in family and friend relationships is turning things into a contract which can be unforgiving and intrusive. "Well, household database shows that you've been late taking the garbage out 52% of the time for the past 3 years!"

As a child I dreamed of having a smartwatch that would record everything my family members said so I could play it back to them and prove infallibly that I was right. I was glad they didn't have such a thing to apply to me though.

I imagine in the future we'll be wearing smart glasses or contact lenses that will identify the name of any person within view who we've met before, as well as their relevant statistics and information including data from online services like social media or dating sites (much the way that CRM provide sales clerks with information on every customer who walks into the store.) I'm not sure that's entirely a good idea.
There is no money for this. The National Science Foundation, the primary source of funding for Arecibo, has been trying to shut it down or offset its cost for years. NSF is a part of the US government, so it has been a victim of the cuts to public science that have affected universities and institutions across the US since the end of the Cold War and the Great Recession. You are right that it would be simple, but there was nobody willing to fund it until it was too late.

That is the real tragedy here, Arecibo was killed over the course of years.

I am fine with Forth's exception handling, or even Lisp's and Factor's.
Large portions of the towers fell. Large portions of the dish are destroyed. And if you're going to effectively build over again, you might as well build a bigger one.
Disagree. I'm still writing all important notes with a pen and paper. Don't get me wrong, I use apps like Evernote or now Notion for daily use, but at the end most of the information there mostly are not revisited after several weeks. Even I usually forgot where I put my notes there.

On the other hands, I write many important notes, business ideas, drawings, or sketches in my paper notebook. I always remember which notebook I put the note about a thing.

Also, the paper notebook is great. No need batteries, no hang/lag, and no need internet.
My company has been using front for a few years. We like it a lot. Before that we used zendesk and have found front to be a better fit for our team. I would invest in almost any of the tools we use given the opportunity. Without front and airtable we would be lost.
Oh man. Exurban wastelands of Nowhere, America. Endless fluorescent popcorn ceilings and despair. Is there another word for nostalgia, where instead of missing something you remember fondly, you are grateful to have escaped from something that seemed to drain your soul? I remember these places having an almost Dementor-like effect on me long before I was old enough to be a coastal elite or a classist or an architecture snob or whatever.
"Is it dirt-simple to admin,"

Often it's not though.

It's a pain to admin for someone who knows nothing about it, and it's also a pain to have to do anything at all!

The power of the cloud for smaller shops is that the don't have to know what Synology is, or even give it a thought.

That you click point-click and set up an EC2 with some S3 and get rid of most admin knowledge/know-how is like magic.

That's the best reason to use it, even it costs 1-3x as much.

Once there is A) stability and predictability in requirements and B) sufficient scale - then - we can hire smart people such as yourself who know better, to set up something relatively simple, that will be relatively low maintenance (i.e. whatever you bill) and save some $.

Think Development vs. Operations cost.

If in dev, we have to wait for, mess with, configure things, it's very expensive, delays etc. and we don't want that.

Once there's enough predictability to determine 'unit cost' on the services side ... then you can 'cut costs' by moving to a slow-changing, custom solution, that is hopefully 'simple', as you say.
It had almost a million subs at it's peak.

The semi-recent crackdown on right wing or in some cases extremely left wing subs has forced many to other platforms.

I would say millions have been pushed off in one way or the other.
