Strong disagree on this.

We live in a society, to operate open communities there are trade-offs.

If you want to live in a miserable security state where no action is allowed, refunds are never accepted, and every actor is assumed hostile until proven otherwise, then you can - but it comes at a serious cost.

This doesn't mean people shouldn't consider the security implications of new PRs, but it's better to not act like assholes with the goal being a high-trust society, this leads to a better non-zero-sum outcome for everyone. Banning these people was the right call they don't deserve any thanks.

In some ways their bullshit was worse than a real bad actor actually pursuing some other goal, at least the bad actor has some reason outside of some dumb 'research' article.

The academics abused this good-will towards them.

What did they show here that you can sneak bugs into an open source project? Is that a surprise? Bugs get in even when people are not intentionally trying to get them in.
1. Senate filibuster rules

I found myself wondering why we can’t just pass popular legislation as individual clean bills. In a climate where two thirds of Americans support a wealth tax, why not simply send a wealth tax to the Senate and see what happens?

The answer, unfortunately, lies in the many layers upon layers of ‘dealmaking’ that happens in congress that lead to popular bills being bundled with less popular ones. Combined with the trend of trying to pass everything through reconciliation, it means that we almost never get to see congress legislate individual issues.

That’s a shame. In software, we’d recognize this all-or-nothing approach as bad practice. It would be no surprise why nothing ever gets done, and we’d make a new process that favors incremental improvements.

This annoys the hell out of me. I'm in the same spot getting spam emails even though I've unsubscribed from everything. What's worse is that I also get their marketing emails even though I've been unsubscribed.

This seems like a particularly strange reason to not try their service and to me is akin to saying "I won't use CarRentalCompany because they require a credit card. What if I'm new to driving and total the car by wrapping it around a tree?"

To be honest, since I've heard literally all of these stories/anecdotes, and in some cases have been affected by them, and yet there is still nothing new in this article to rehash, it actually makes me feel good having gone with GCP.

I certainly have felt what I thought were missteps by GCP in the past, but over the past couple years have been an extremely happy customer, and I still feel I've architected my applications so that if worse came to worse I could migrate off GCP if needed.
Even in California, the cartel is still active in the grey market. As long as the legal option remains dramatically more expensive than grey market, and how couldn't it with sometimes a >30% tax rate, there will be a grey market.
From the article:
“55% of voters support Medicare for All”

and 70 percent support a public option.
55% is a majority.
And interestingly, that number has been steeply increasing since 1980 https://i.imgur.com/6eiPP3z.jpg
Medicare is a specific example of a system. Just because Americans are overwhelmingly thirsty does not mean they want to drink pineapple juice.
Smart Warehousing Is Imperative
Smart warehousing aims to use software technology, Internet technology, and radio frequency identification, as well as advanced equipment to provide the overall intelligence of warehousing operations.

In recent years, China's logistics industry has developed vigorously, and China has become the world's largest logistics market. The logistics industry mainly includes the transportation department and the warehousing part. These two parts support the huge industrial system of the logistics industry, each of which accounts for half of the total cost. Relevant research results show that intelligent warehousing has more cost advantages in the life cycle. Due to the mechanical and repetitive operations of the logistics industry, as well as the rising labor costs, the combination of the warehousing industry and automation and intelligence will become the future trend.

The development of intelligent warehousing is inevitably inseparable from the support of AGV robots. AGV robots can realize the automation and intelligence of fixed-point handling processes, reduce costs, and effectively improve handling efficiency and reduce accidental losses. In recent years, China's AGV robot market has sprung up rapidly. Data show that in 2019, China's AGV robots added 33,400 units in all categories, an increase of about 12.8% compared with 2018. The industry is developing optimistically. However, the degree of warehousing automation is still insufficient compared to Europe, America, and Japan.

The development of China's warehousing industry is driven by downstream demand. Data show that the total amount of China's social logistics is steadily increasing, and the demand for the warehousing industry is also increasing. In recent years, China's storage index has been maintained at a relatively high level, and the market is booming.
I would have more respect for the Canadian health care system if the Grand Forks ND Hospital parking lot wasn't full of Manitoba license plates. If the US isn't available as a quick out for people with money than how well does the system work?

Frankly, I wish Congress had to live under Indian Health Service for a couple of years. If the US is incapable of getting decent health care for 2% of the population its obligated to provide for, then I don't see how it gets better adding the other 98%.
I think their actual plan is that China builds a new space station [0], and Russia becomes a partner with China in that, but China will provide the majority of the funding and do the majority of the work. Basically Putin wants to partner with China instead of the US, because China-Russia relations are much better than US-Russia relations.

Actually though I think ISS puts a limit on US ability to exclude Russia. US can't exclude Russia from space cooperation like it has done with China as long as ISS continues. If Russia quits ISS and teams up with China instead, US may start treating Russia similarly to how it treats China now.

I absolutely hate this state rights argument. I for one would gladly support repealing the words the states from the tenth amendment.

States don’t have magical rights. People have rights.

I have a feeling anyone who supports “state rights” would also support the idea of “separate but equal”.

Please do not associate yourself with the hypocrites who are all for state rights until California wants to regulate automobile emissions.

I have a knot book that refers to these types of knots as "exploding" knots. They are essentially the same as the original knot, but the final tuck is done with a bight to make untying it easily.
Thank to OP for posting this and thus educating others about the “Granny Knot” problem in relation to shoelaces. All of your comments have been quite fascinating! I'm pleased that so many of you have also learned a couple of my own knots. The “Granny Knot” info can be life-changing, while the “Ian Knot” and “Ian's Secure Knot” can both be “life-improving”.

Look where the cash cows are. For MS and Amazon, their cloud platforms are top of mind for senior management. Even more so with Amazon's new CEO having been with AWS since inception.

For Google, anything not driving search and ads is a side show. Does anyone think Sundar's staying up at night worrying about Asian egress pricing when he's about to spend the next day being accused by performatively outraged senators about censorship and election influcence?
What the survey _actually_ says (and what the politifact fact-check does not dig into) is that if you ask people how they would deal with an unexpected $400 expense, given them a list of possible options, and tell them to select all options that would apply 40% select at least one of the "selling or borrowing" options. Note that if you add up the percentages for all the options in that survey, it adds up to 143%, because you can select more than one option.

The problem is that it's impossible to tell what's actually going on due to this survey design. For example: what is the overlap between the set of people who check "just pay it out of checking/savings" (50%) and the set of people who check "charge it and pay off in full at the end of the month" (36%)? I would rate both answers as "these people have the $400 on hand". The fraction of people who checked at least one of these options is somewhere between 50% and 86%, depending on how much overlap there is. And you can't tell, from this survey, where it lies in that range.

Similarly, you can't actually conclude the "Four in 10 adults, if faced with an unexpected expense of $400, would either not be able to cover it or would cover it by selling something or borrowing money" thing from these numbers, so the executive summary is rather misleading. Politifact takes that summary as an accurate summary of the survey results, but it doesn't seem to be. As far as I can tell, that 40% comes from adding up non-mutually-exclusive percentages. It's the equivalent of claiming that 86% of people would just pay it off based on the above 50% and 36% numbers.

I should also note that the survey included full-time students under "adults", and if I had an unexpected $400 expense at various points as a student I would have absolutely had to borrow money to cover it. Looking around briefly, there are ~20 million full-time college students in the US as of 2020, which is ~6% of adults. While it would obviously better if college students had larger cash cushions, a college student borrowing money from parents to pay $400 is not the mental image most people have when reading the executive summary here...

Now the fact that no matter how you slice these survey results no fewer than 8%, and maybe up to 50% of non-college-student adults don't have $400 on hand if they need it is still a significant problem from my point of view. Especially because I really doubt it's as low as the 8% option. But I am also quite certain it's nowhere close to 40%....
This statement is in the former camp, stating that they do not have enough data yet to be able to be in the latter camp. They're stating that they'll be working toward it. It's a statement that they needed to put out asap before being able to state affirmatively what actually happened, since that can take time.

It's even more fun/complicated than that.

New York City is dividied into five boroughs, each of which is coterminous with is own county.

Boroughs are subdivivions of New York City City, counties are subdivisions of New York State.

Manhattan is the borough, New York County is the county.

However, I don't think any of the 5 counties that correspond to boroughs have their own governments. So there is no government at all for County of New York, but the Borough of Manhattan does have its own government, which is fine because the County and Borough are coterminous with each other (and both contained entirely within the City of New York).

I have a colleague that’s difficult. Upfront I’ll say that I like him a lot personally.

He almost got fired recently. He didn’t, in part because a bunch of us stood up for him, but it was dicey.

The reason he almost got fired is because he’s very expensive to manage.

That dogged unwillingness to never shut up, along with more than his fair share of brilliance, is great when he’s digging into a thorny, ugly problem that most would prefer to pretend doesn’t exist.

But when there’s a meeting with $3k/hour in fully loaded cost worth of people in it and he’s going on and on about his pet issue that’s a problem. When every decision you make has to first be delivered to the team and argued in detail to this guy, that’s exhausting. To his credit he’s convincible, but still. Since projects have to be carefully evaluated for fit before being assigned to him that makes him harder to use well. Having to unruffle other employees’ feathers all the time certainly isn’t fun. And so on and so forth.

All this means he needs a very strong manager, both in a technical sense (because without that credibility no one will be able to manage him) and in a people skills sense (both for him and for the people he comes into contact with). Such managers are themselves are difficult to find and expensive to employ. To keep him around and aimed in the right direction means a disproportionate amount of one of those people’s time is going to a single employee.

I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It sounds like whatever you are doing is working for you. But maybe this provides some food for thought.
Those per channel features are useful for others. Sometimes people don't get to run their own team, but at least they still get all the benefit in their little fiefdom.

Your response illustrates my point nicely:

Child abuse and neglect is already illegal, regardless of drug laws.

I have a M1 Mini with 16GB memory. The machine's SSD is incredibly fast, so it swaps very well.

Whereas my 2019 MBP will suffer incredibly when I start running out of memory (it literally becomes unusable and requires a hard reboot), the M1 will transparently start swapping, and I generally don't even notice.

Just the other day I noticed a python process was running slower than expected, and it was a bug in my Pandas code so I had allocated 85GB of memory. The rest of the system was operating normally - Chrome, VSCode, Music were all fine.

I regularly kick off a data pipeline process with 8x concurrency, even though each process uses between 4-6GB memory. It's probably inefficient in some way, but overall is still much faster than running at 2x concurrency (where everything would fit in memory and it wouldn't need to swap).
They made that bed... I’m sure there are more original stories to be told, people just upvote based on their personal experience
If you can't effectively prohibit something you probably shouldn't try. Otherwise you're wasting resources and eroding goodwill towards law enforcement which will be involved in fighting something that people really want to do.
I'd want 5 years at the minimum?

Giant changes like that are worth capturing in long term planning processes, and then you need time to get ramped up on the new stack, design and implement the replacements, run all your backfills, and also, still have a couple years to figure out the parts that don't migrate nicely. With enough time available, you also don't have to drop actual business related improvements, even if your progress slows down a bit

Prosecutorial misconduct like that should be punished by garnishing the perp's wages to help pay for the giant wad of cash that the state must hand over to the victim in abject apology.
I used to think the problem with AWS was pricing and hidden costs etc. But in reality it’s because companies just let developers run wild without restriction on AWS and end up over provisioning or pulling in expensive services to solve dead simple problems.

The issue is definitely not AWS. It’s always the developers. You really need a gate keeper to AWS to question why you need a service and ask for a price estimate on cost and usage.

> Combined with the trend of trying to pass everything through reconciliation, it means that we almost never get to see congress legislate individual issues.

Having to go through budget reconciliation is another symptom of the same problem. The filibuster used to get used very infrequently. Now that the parties have clearly sorted themselves there is actually less cross-party dealmaking, instead everything has to go through reconciliation which also requires that bills get changed to fit the requirements of budget reconciliation. It's just another outcome of our hyperpartisanship.

The hyperpartisanship and two-party system is also the reason why even popular legislation cannot pass. If it passes it's a win for the governing party. If it doesn't it gets held against the government party because they should be in control. If they cannot get it done it gets blamed on them bring weak. So why would the opposition allow passing even popular legislation? McConnell explained this very openly and clearly.

It implies that it would be difficult for legalization to make the situation worse if you already have no control of it. And as noted: legalization improved the situation substantially.
Agree. Some drugs like meth, heroin, fentanyl, PCP can cause permanent brain damage at common recreational doses and hurt society overall. Those shouldn't be legal IMO
