What AWS services do you consider "abandoned"?

The only one I can think of that might be in this category is SimpleDB. AWS recommends you use DynamoDB instead of SimpleDB for new applications.

However, I wouldn't call SimpleDB abandoned. SimpleDB continues to work as it has for may years.

One thing that AWS is amazingly good at is not breaking existing customers and their applications. Did you build an application 10 years ago based on SimpleDB? All the APIs you used 10 years ago are still there and available to your application today. Its really quite amazing how dedicated AWS is to not breaking existing customers.

Local EU websites are covered by virtue of being EU websites, not because they're accessible in the EU.

Yes.

Yes, unless you're targeting EU citizens by e.g. offering interface localization in EU languages or setting growth targets for the European market in statements to your investors etc.

> "and charged for them"

You cannot charge the poorest people, those that pose the highest likely risk of contracting the illness, for masks that ultimately protect all of us.
One possible argument is that volunteer work of this type can have a negative effect through self-perpetuation and blocking out actually efficient methods, such as those proposed by the "randomistas"
The data at this link has less than nothing to say about mask effectiveness.

One graph says, for example, that mask mandate areas in the US have slightly higher infection rates than non-mask mandate areas. But this is extremely expected - high infection rate is what prompts areas to mandate mask usage.

If I feel at risk (maybe because I observe people getting ill and dying), I comply. If I don't feel at risk, I don't care about complying.

Also, why no Asian countries on the international charts? That would be inconvenient for the point, hm?

> It's almost the end of 2020 and California hasn't passed a single tax increase.

Prop 19 involves both additional exemptions and limitations on existing exemptions from full-value assessment, but is projected on balance to be a net increase, and is definitely an increase for some taxpayers, and it passed. So, while I agree with your general point, this claim is technically overstated.
haha yeah it does come off a bit harsh. I don't doubt their sincerity but am definitely curious about how many farms they've visited.

If anytime you think of meat/dairy you think of mcdonalds style feedlot hellscapes, you're out of touch. Your oat/soy milks are coming from giant monocrop fields, loaded up on pesticides, fertilized with the poo scraped off the feedlots you hate.

I think its much more likely that dairy production becomes more sustainable than it gets replaced by even more intensive monocropping.

No matter which of those two mask types are employed, a relevant May 2020 meta-study on pandemic influenza published by the CDC found that face masks had no effect, neither as personal protective equipment nor as a source control.

"In pooled analysis, we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks".

"Disposable medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are loose-fitting devices that were designed to be worn by medical personnel to protect accidental contamination of patient wounds, and to protect the wearer against splashes or sprays of bodily fluids (36). There is limited evidence for their effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza."

"Proper use of face masks is essential because improper use might increase the risk for transmission."

Has the CDC analysis been refuted?

>It seems that Europe has decided to stop evolving and just do anything to protect the status quo. Innovation is forbidden here. But hey! It’s for our own good.

Yeah, this. Europe is an old continent that's mostly old money. The Europeans of today are rich mostly due to inherited wealth and former imperialism, not wealth they created themselves through innovation, with some families tracing their wealth back for centuries when land was cheap and plentiful and taxes were next to nothing that any hardworking person could buy land and build a business and while the wealth didn't go stratospheric, it still multiplied handsomely for their successors since "time in the market beats timing the market".

If you look at Europe's biggest and wealthiest companies, most of them are several decades if not centuries old with some of their major shareholders still being old European nobility, in contrast to the US where the top tech companies are at most 30 years old, with older ones that fail to innovate always dying in a healthy cycle (IBM, Sun, Oracle, SGI, etc.), leaving room for new players(FAANG) to come on the market and eat the lunch of the dinosaurs. While in Europe, with so much of the pie taken by the old players, there's no more room for new players to spring up since the old established ones pulled the ladder up after them.

The image of the typical wealthy successful German is not that of a hip 20-30 year old who built some cool business in his dorm room or his parents' garage like in the US, but of a 40 year old man with a Porsche who inherited his dad's machine shop and rolodex(typical owner of the famous Mittelstand that's always revered here on HN).

All this old wealth is very risk adverse and feels threatened by disruptions and will fight tooth and nail to keep their status quo.
I don't see how I am forcing you as a person to say a damn thing. You've entered into a new level of tactical nihilism here.

> you’re saying that I have the right to go to your home, plaster it with posters that you disagree with, then prevent you from removing them.

How is your personal home the same thing as a gigantic, billion-user social network that has effectively (especially in 2020) replaced the pub, the bar, the town square, and the public forum? It's not, and you know it isn't.

Step back and look at yourself: you're defending the right of billion dollar corporations to tell you what you can and cannot say.

> Does that sound like free speech to you?
> Those people are included in this count.

They are not. You may have missed it when you read the report (it's near the end), but it says "A journalist who attends a demonstration in order to protest publicly, rather than to document the event, and is arrested in that capacity, will not be counted on the site."
That's injecting a lot of malicious intent into what I said. I don't think making an unreasonably dark assumption about someone's intent is a good reason to treat them with hostility.

“Burying COVID victims accounted for an increase in home prices due to less land!”

“Cremating COVID victims increased global temperatures by 0.2C”
That is a very uncharitable and weak interpretation of the grandparent. For the parliamentary elections, the bigger parties agreed to try to fix democracy deficits by promising to elect a nominated candidate (Frans Timmmermans and Manfred Weber) as president of the commission depending on which block won in parliament. Yet, after the election, in a typical EU backroom deal, von der Leyen was elected. So it is quite fair to say that no constituent voted for her in any meaningful way.

Don't forget their continued lack of anything to compete with Heroku (that is, hook up to GitHub, deploy automatically from master, with less than 20 clicks in the web UI).

There’s already “digital dark ages” and it’s a reason archive.org and retro tech collection is so important.

From the 70s-90s most consumer tech was thrown in land fill when people were finished with it. There wasn’t yet much of a “collector” mentality because it wasn’t old enough to be cool, and there was such a mad rush to always have the newest developments in that tech-honeymoon period that people threw the old stuff out.

Then for the software side, storage was expensive and complicated. People didn’t keep copies of every single old thing like lots of people do now, websites were purged of old content to fit new content, versioning in development didn’t really exist (on a large scale).

I’m a retro tech/software collector and there’s plenty of stuff from my childhood that I can’t find a single trace of anymore.
> reusable cloth masks

There might be issues with reusing masks (I haven't seen any data on this).

This is more like one of those problems you sort out later and worry about it less when it's happening. The one thing I'd propose is do what we can to not use synthetics in them so they'll at least biodegrade.
>Are you insinuating that any improvement is not worth pursuing

That is not what I insinuating at all.

If you are sick, you should rest at home, just like with any other illness. I wouldn't care whether you wear mask or not.
Keeping database load under control, for example.

With an API that keeps tighter control over access patterns, you've got a more predictable target for optimizing your indexing strategy. With GraphQL, you've got to worry about the possibility that some client figures out how to craft a query that slips between all your indexes and causes the database engine to resort to doing things the hard way. So, worrying about that stuff is hard, where it tends to be easier to manage with REST or gRPC because you can just force your worldview onto consumers and get on with your life.

In theory, though, a well-crafted GraphQL API can be more performant over a wider variety of use cases than a well-crafted REST API, for all the oft-cited reasons. So it does make the impossible possible. But not (necessarily) easy.

AV1 – Webex the first video conferencing platform to use new codec
Back then a software engineer at a well-known big company would make around $30-50k (not inflation adjusted). Combined with 1993's interest rates (~7%) $300k was quite steep.

Today the same engineer at a FAANG would make about $300k. Houses are about $2M and interest rates are about 2%, so relatively speaking things are cheaper. However, unlike in 1993, today's salaries are unlikely to grow by 10x over the next 30 years while the mortgage is paid off!
Can you point to cases where this is common in mainstream news outlets? We are talking about exceptions, not norms. The 1619 Project and its revisionist perspective may have had misleading conclusions (or premises) but it was not committing errors of outright falsehood. This just an example of bias vs factual misinformation.
So, judging from zero docs, it's hard to misuse because you wouldn't even know how to use it.
Really glad to see this directly integrated into the AWS console.

It’s surprising that after a year, people still haven’t figured out that reusable elastomer respirators with long life replaceable filter cartridges and >99% small particle filtration effectiveness are the best option from the perspectives of safety, overall cost and sustainability.

I’ve been using the same pre pandemic 3M P100 industrial respirator with a retrofitted exhalation valve filter for months. It fits with a perfect seal and doesn’t get uncomfortable or warm during extended wear.

Hopefully public health experts and governments will back consumer friendly, low-profile reusable respirator designs. There’s no reasonable reason for there to be a shortage at this point, after all this time, and even sending a few to every household with a link to an instructional video would cost a tiny fraction of the past and future direct and indirect economic consequences stemming from lack of optimal PPE for the general public and essential workers alike.

Bravo! Well said. Unfortunately the execs doing the censoring in Big Tech are not currently breaking any laws, because their billionaire K-street lobbyists contribute enough funds to the legislators to stop them from taking action to make censorship illegal.

There's absolutely no reason to allow Twitter to censor, because it's become the modern version of the telephone system, and the world is relying on Twitter in today's world in an even more important way than telephone texting.

The only people arguing in favor of censorship right now are the Democrats, and it's SOLELY because Silicon Valley is reliably left leaning, and will only censor Republicans.

On the 2600, you can use a fourth register, the stack pointer. The 2600 as a machine has no interrupts, so if a section of code doesn't push/pop/call anything, stack memory is never touched and you can do whatever you want with the stack pointer register.

There's more tricks with the stack pointer on this machine too. Set it to point to the top of a sequence of video registers, and then you can rapidly write values to that sequence of registers just by issuing push instructions, which are faster than load/store/decrement!
