Dear lord, this hits too close home, I've been having nightmares maintaining some Azure infra lately. I'm not a cloud-provider fanboy, they all suck at the end of day, but Azure is the one that deliberately makes my life worse every day.

All those features and no decent integration between them, unless you're a multi billion 100k employee company you'll have no luck with their customer support either.
>No, we allowed people to change their own dietary habits and they chose to do so.

Because it became vastly cheaper. But you still called it a choice. So why do you keep referring to the opposite scenario (people eating less meat because it's more expensive) like it's not?

One of the things that’s interesting about looking at workshops is the “shop-smell” and how it seems to tell you a lot about a project/company.

I remember walking into the workshop at one well funded startup , and seeing they were using dollar store screwdrivers. Practically speaking, for what they were doing you could say it didn’t really matter. But it was also sitting next to a piece of equipment that was never used, and cost $50000.

I wouldn’t say it’s always the case, but it left me with a poor impression and a feeling that something was off.

Later this did indeed turn out to be the case.

I don’t quite understand: lots of people buy purebred dogs from breeders for lots of reasons. If greyhounds are such amazing dogs why wouldn’t people continue to buy them, just perhaps at a smaller scale?
I've been getting (back) into making electronic music over the past year or so, and one of the interesting areas to explore is how much to lean on hardware versus software for musicmaking.

There's a whole subreddit, reddit.com/r/musicBattlestations/ where people show off their music setups with lots of expensive hardware. And there is something really cool about being able to occupy a physical space that inspires you and reminds you of what you are. We are physical creatures and it's much easier for us to play a role if we're in the right set with the right props and don't have to imagine it all in our heads. (This is also why working from home for an extended period of time can be hard.)

At the same time, hardware is expensive, takes up a lot of space, can be hard to reconfigure and can easily get mentally overwhelming. It's hard to switch between working on two different songs when each one requires you to unplug a bunch of wires and move boxes around. At the same time, it's maybe easier to finish that first song if you know you can't start the second one without unplugging everything...

Choosing the right space and workflow to be a productive musician is this weird sort of meta-creative process that's surprisingly hard and not talked about much (beyond fetishizing giant studios and expensive gear, or fetishizing minimalism).
PTE Read Aloud Tips – How to utilise the preparation time
The problem is that no matter how you structure the rules, the wealthy will always be 1. connected and 2. able to hire the best accountants in the world. It’s impossible to get that money from them in my opinion. Your best hope is to incentivize them to spend it somehow.
I got a full-blown belly laugh out of this, thank you.
It's tough being an AWS fan for that matter too. Aside from the simplest things, every time you need to do something there are huge reams of "documentation" in various stages of decay, and each doc is comprised of dozens of (unnecessarily) manual steps. Error messages are shit, too, and the whole thing has this stench of massive engineering debt and duct tape to it. I was told this stuff was supposed to be built by people who know what they're doing, but apparently not. It's duct tape all the way down it seems like.

The entire point of a corporation, as a governance structure, in general is to limit liability for its shareholders. That's true for all corporations not just facebook. Its the reason people establish corporations instead of running businesseses informally as an individual.

The only surprising thing is the cost benefit trade-off here seems a bit much. Its not surprising that the facebook corporation tried to do its entire reason for existing.
Its actually worth going through and unsubscribing to those promo emails just to make this easier.
IMHO both of these views are true. Some books make the "milking" part more obvious than others.

> "Surrender your cash & no investigation" is pretty plainly an extra-legal demand

No. Your big assumption here is that that seize wouldn't have also been done under Asset Forfeiture rules. It was used as a threat to try to get a suspect to confess to a crime.

Remember that officers can lie during interrogations.

> I don't care who was planning to pocket the money, specifically.

Well that's what makes it legal or not. If the officer pocketed it, then it's illegal. If the gov't did it using the law of asset forfeiture, then it's literally LEGAL.

You are conflating "illegal" with "immoral".
This probably sounds odd, but I'd be happy with the subscription's yearly price, or even a little more. It's not the price that bothers me, it's the subscription aspect to me.

The application is sold as, "with data longevity in mind", but the subscription model makes me feel like that is only the case while I pay for a subscription. From what I read in some of your other comments, that may not be the case, but it's still a worry. What if I can't access my notes/data in the future unless I have an active subscription?
Ok, Civ II.
If you are not comfortable spending x amount of money on one of your interests (which is totally a valid feeling to have), then it is time to prioritize and innovate! Necessity is the mother of all invention.
I’ve had what can only be described as the unfortunate displeasure of using Azure.

Unnecessarily complex, arcane and frustrating is how I’d describe basically everything we had to do.

The fact that they ship a whole Python runtime is basically the least shocking thing I’ve learnt about Azure.
This is an unusual problem that I also witness over and over again. The unusual part is that I'll get same-source emails (eg: mailing lists that I follow) scattered between two different tabs, so it is like Google only forgets where they go sometimes.

I drag them to the proper tab each time, but it doesn't seem to fix anything.
This takes me back to https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/turtle-geometry, a great book by Harold Abelson and Andrea DiSessa. It uses turtle geometry to explore college-level maths concepts and biological phenomena such as predator-prey relationships.
They want to talk, “ connect” and “align” all the time but not really help with issues you may have.
I suppose I could clarify to "replaced as the majority 'people'”. I agree with you on every point though. I have a lot of sympathy for people who feel displaced or disinherited, or end up a lower-class citizen by virtue of something that ultimately comes down to clearly genetic differences with the society in which they live. I think it's ultimately meaningless to say that someone whose ancestors lived in Europe in 1400 is an invader and someone whose ancestors at the same time were living in the Americas and had far fewer immunities is necessarily a victim of same. Nor is the converse necessarily true, but the whole thing is a big fucking mess.

> clear email marketing sources like HubSpot and Exact Target. Why would those get bumped up?

Those servers send a very high volume of legitimate marketing email that is not spam. Those services do a lot of policing within their platform to prevent or discourage use of their servers for actual spam. So when someone does manage to get spam out through that service, it often gets past more filters downstream. Theoretically, Hubspot or Exact Target will get notifications and shut down those senders so Google trusts them, gives them some leeway and doesn't ban the servers outright.
Always [not] keen to see more of the world adopt a system that ends with "gulags forever".

Yeah our current dog has barely ever been to the dog park, we decided to change it up and bring her there. A day or two later and she has kennel cough.

But I also think our dog has a bad immune system. We pet sit a dog for 5-6 hours and it had a bit of a sneeze. We all just thought it was allergies because it was a young dog and the vet assumed it was allergies. Well a day or two later again and our dog has a sneeze, tons of green snot, and our vet suspected it was a bad infection, possibly pneumonia. She is only just about 2 years old and already seems to be getting any disease she gets near.

Well, it's not just anti-vaccine activists.

You just didn't read the studies used in the actual efficiency studies presented for FDA approval, and didn't read the definitions used. You then didn't look at the endpoints measured.

You then suppose journalists report stuff as they arein colloquial language, instead of parroting a marketing/PR blurb. You also then suppose that various bureaucrats in charge of Covid response in their PR sessions do the same, as do politicians.

Can't fault you, not everybody has the psychological inclination for that, or has the time, or is bored enough. Some other people did, and then looked for the same in all subsequent efficiency studies since last winter. Found the same thing.

Instead of just mocking people for "doing research on the toilet seat, Karen", maybe check for yourself from the original sources what they are saying, you might be surprised .

All these actual peer-reviewed studies by the relevant governmental organisms in charge (US NIH, UK Technical Group, Israel Ministry of health) and FDA/ EU EDA documentation are a search away on their sites.

I won't even talk about all the major US and UK university teams producing peer-reviewed published data which you can mostly find on medRxiv.
Wealthy = assets. Taxes typically are on income, not assets.

Better question: Do America's 400 highest-earning families pay a lower tax rate than the average taxpayer?

I mean, it still could be the same answer, because in any given year, the highest earners may well have a large chunk of it from capital gains. But at least it's an apples-to-apples comparison (until we implement a wealth tax).
My impression has certainly been that everyone expected them to be best friends, and then when they stated that basically, no, they've got professional respect for each other but aren't at the level where they're seeking out joint projects for post-mythbusters projects or having frequent social contact, people started interpreting it as the other extreme and assuming there was animosity there.

Basically on the level of that guy you worked with in a previous job that you're not really going to put in the effort to reach out to as much as you both said you would.
Eh. I'm a scale-model builder, and that community is full of people who build amazing models...but even more full of people who just collect kits. Kits that they'll build "someday."

As someone who runs a full node, this is not accurate at all. Space is cheap, bandwidth is expensive. I frequently upload > 1TB a month via my full node, if blocks were twice as big and full, then I would be uploading > 2TB a month. How many people in the world have an internet connection which can handle that? Then you have to process each block, the bigger they are, the most computation needs to be done. Everything is a trade off, Bitcoin has chosen decentralization over throughput, other chains have chosen differently.
There are two things that exist outside the regular trading:

First, exchanges skim a fee off the top of every transaction. That removes some money from the analysis, causing a negative sum.

Second, miners are a special case: They do not deposit any money, they only withdraw it using freshly minted coins. Thus they too skim off some of the value in the market, and also cause the sum of the regular trades to be negative.
You have to show up to court to defend yourself. This is an unfortunate reality of the world. ...but poor folks working hourly jobs that cannot schedule a day off - are not usually the people having tens of thousands of dollars in cash seized.
I live on a farm outside Ithaca, ny and was talking to some young people who studied ecology in school and they all agree that upstate NY should be a lot more resilient than most places.

Our water supply is expected to be more bunched in time, but at least we expect to still get water. A slightly longer growing season and ability to grow less hardy plants should make up for some things we lose.
> I did once. Why? Because I damn well wanted to, that's why! I am allegedly a free man living in the "free-est country on earth" so I gave my bank the required one week notice, came in with a bag, and walked out with the amount of cash necessary to buy my shiny new corvette. I then peacefully made my way to the dealership, where I signed the papers and handed them the money. No eyelashes were batted.

Doubt it, considering dealers hate handling cash and filing the anti-structuring paperwork. It certainly wouldn't be a situation where 'no eyelashes were batted', at the least they would have been upset that you were wasting their time.

> Eg: Have you "in your life" ever lived in a country where multiple bank runs happened during "your life", the banks ran out of money, and the government did nothing to make citizens whole? No? Cause that is one reason people would avoid banks - being bankrupted by such an event leaves a mark on you. Probably enough of a mark to keep you from banks forever, even if you move to USA...

So your reasoning for advocating to use cash is because some countries are unstable (even though as a result you are even more likely to robbed of your cash in them)?
"Of course not" because probably nobody is interested in looking in.

That seems like a trivial point to me, though.

As soon as somebody nosy is interested, then there is a purpose of deception.
There is a rather large number of investors that are not happy, and aren't quiet about it. That's why Facebook faces investor lawsuits every so often.

Pretty much ignores pollution beyond CO2. The 289 engine in the '67 Fastback in their cartoon is what I would call a 'gross polluter'. Burning gasoline also produces NOx, CO, SO2, particulates, and more. There is a reason that electric cars are a thing.

Azure pipelines is the most verbose and confusing CI tool I’ve had the misfortune of using.

Why does it require so many steps? Why are they so verbose? It feels like writing glorified bash scripts (in which case why am I using a CI tool?) but worse.

The parent is noting that what actually gets signed in SIGV4 isn't the raw request, but a pseudo-request derived from the raw; the pseudo is the "meaning" (in their terminology); a cryptography engineer would call it the "canonicalized" request.

What they'd like instead is a signature format that simply signed the raw request, the "bytes".

This data capture alone was the sole factor that drove me to conclusively exit Gmail. There were many reasons I might have over the years, but this is what solidified feelings into actions for me.
You can cryptographically prove that the server signed this payload with a valid certificate, I'm not sure if there's tools to do that but that's a possibility...
Back when I had wrist pain the only thing that worked for me was mousing with a different hand, and using a split Goldtouch keyboard (not a fan of the key feel, but ergonomically it worked well for me). Then I got into weightlifting and I don't have wrist pain anymore and can use whatever keyboard or mouse I want. Not saying this works for everyone, obviously, but give it a try as well. It also works wonders for lower back pain, and just in general makes you feel better.
I have been doing exactly this for a year now. It allows my shoulders to be open, stopping me from slouching over the keyboard. It has solved my back pain.
I actually had the idea of "hobby as a service". Create a catalog of a few dozen hobbies to start, and build boxes that are a foothold to the hobby.

Could be:
- a cheap ukulele, tuner, with a link to some youtube lessons
- a drawing pad and box of pens with some tips on figure drawing
- a whittling knife and some wooden spoon blanks.

You receive the box and give it a try. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't but you can always put the stuff back in the box and return the items and receive another hobby to try without the dread of having a drawer full of nice spoon carving knives that you thought you'd love but are now just a symbol of your abandoned dreams.
The problem is more what about companies that also hire people like yourself?

How can those of us who are good human beings get out of this nightmare society where evil people keep talking about what people Twitter in their private time.

What guarantees do we have that companies only hires from RedBalloon, not to dismiss it, RedBalloon is a great start.

We are certainly rich enough to have two society's. You can have your lynch mobs (It's a genetic thing, it's not a new idea, certain people like these things more than others) the rest of us can live our own lives as we see fit. But how do we separate us.
I could see it becoming big with pc gamers for how much you can tweak the OS itself to eek out as much performance as you can get. They also tend to want to personalize their PCs a lot and with linux they'd have a whole new level to that with the customizability of the desktop experience itself.
In regards to Sec. 138301 my reading is only your ability to contribute money from outside the IRA is to be limited. The account itself will still be an IRA so the growth is not taxed you simply can't contribute more money to it.

To be honest once the balance passes a few million why would you bother contributing to one anyways? The interest and growth alone will dwarf any contributions.
Making an absurdly large settlement in exchange for a favor is a bribe. It doesn't have to go into any official's pocket.

> Anki already supports either a specific remote or bluetooth remotes in general, and has TTS.

Have you considered a gamepad designed for phones? I use a GameSir T1s for my Anki reviews while out walking.

Only downside is the screen is lopsided in the controller due to the volume buttons, but this could be fixed with a more expensive gamepad which wraps the sides.

Every normal person knows about and would use those alternatives. Even if they were ignorant they would have been coached as soon as they tried to withdraw a huge amount from the bank.

The 'victim' likely had his money seized because there is an investigation linked to him but not enough evidence to convict in court (or he was associated in an investigation with someone who was already convicted). The reason for travelling is to buy 'game machines', which just seems absurd since such business deals can be conducted entirely from email or phone anyway.

Here's a program with 3 identifiers. One uses Latin alphabet, one Greek and one Cyrillic. Can you tell which is which?

Κ = 1
K = 2
К = 3

As for "widely understood", consider a program that uses 10 Greek symbols each of which is known by 90% of programmers (a high estimate IMO). If the program is looked at by 10 programmers, the probability that they'll all know the symbols is 0.0027%.

I always dreaded talking to support - AKS would routinely break in weird and ways, and it was always super frustrating waiting for support to fix things that shouldn’t have happened.

We once had an error with Azure MySQL and AKS, where it would just stop dropping packets with basic instance types. Support could never fix it, we ended up just upgrading to standard because that worked.

I will say this - the manager of the team at Azure did comp our upgrade, because they couldn’t figure out why it was happening. I tried very hard to get our project off Azure, but because it was negotiated as part the Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft, it was “free” so the CTO wouldn’t budge. I assume this is how many people end up needing to deal with Azure.
