Much more nuance that the original post, makes sense. I don't think you conveyed this in the original comment, which I conflated with effectively "They keep changing what they say, therefore they are lying, therefore I am not getting vaccinated". Granted you didn't say that, I believe that's the way I interpreted it due to hearing the same argument from a bunch of different folks. Thanks for the clarity!
Ah, each server gives you 100TB/month of network bandwidth.
Like with any info product, a lot of the value here comes from what you put into it (the book contains dozens if not hundreds of hours worth of project ideas) - but I'll just add for posterity that part of the value of that sticker price is an included biweekly newsletter that provides inside referrals to hand-curated cloud jobs. We've seen great response to this newsletter so far, including multiple folks getting job offers: https://cloudresumechallenge.dev/newsletter

Copernicus was an expert. Those who have spent years laboring to understand a subject do occasionally ignore the bright upstart who has mastered the field and then proves them wrong. But that doesn’t oblige them to credit ignorance as serious argument in the name of “being willing to listen to unpopular opinion”.

And this isn’t about credentialism either. You can tell the lion by his claw; a knowledgeable non-credentialed expert will not be dismissed as easily.
I don't want the following to come off as judgemental or to imply that I have anything but the utmost empathy for everyone involved in this case.

I think it's interesting to consider these types of articles that get popular online. It seems perfect for creating outrage, but for what? If the purpose of the news is to inform, what does this news inform me of? What am I to do except get angry and ruminate and forget and repeat for the next story? I don't want to seem like the archetypal angry cynic that so often appears in these comment sections, but this is genuinely the reason I stopped paying attention to most of the news. I'm not sure what else to add here. I just think about this a lot.
If it's not a well established company, you're banking on it sticking around. I wouldn't put my money on it.

That's a really great perspective. There are a bunch of times where I have a preference for or against something, but I can't point to a specific example of when that thing was good/bad, or any objective data about it. It's just that my experience suggests to me (via murky pattern matching in my brain) that particular thing will be good or bad.

It's certainly weaker evidence than data or concrete examples, but I think it's still valuable and worthy of consideration.

I think by now, the performance and price of SSDs makes them an obvious choice for almost everyone for their PC/laptop. Even pre-NVME SSD's made boot times significantly faster, it's almost night and day.

However if you store highly sensitive information that you don't want to lose, then I'd always be looking at a secondary storage location regardless of the medium.

From my personal experience, I have used SSD's for around 7 years now, back when even 128GB wasn't cheap. I haven't had a problem. But I have also had a 3.5" HDD in my little server running non-stop for almost 8 years now and it's still going strong.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say.

Above, you made some speculative claims that the endangered species caused the property owner to experience increased hardship in using their land. Research in this thread that others have done has shown that wasn’t the case, and yet you persist in pitching speculatively that perhaps they had their property taken away.

What is the statement you’re trying to make, and can you do the legwork to suggest it’s plausible rather than just technically not-yet-disproven?

The government is often the cause of scarcity.

If price sky rocket, investors will increases production until prices are lower.

Government can mess with this by limit prices causing investors to stay away, meaning fewer chips get built, thus ensuing a temporary problem gets worse.
Of course monads are burritos! return represents the common operation of wrapping the filling into a burrito. bind the also totally common operation of unwrapping a burrito, re-cooking the filling and wrapping it back. The Maybe monad is that common feeling of wondering if you've been served a burrito with no filling. The List monad represents the endless potential of adding 5 more toppings to a 25-topping burrito. And the I/O monad is a discussion about burritos that involves not eating any, such as this one.
This is a weird fatalism about being unable to ever effectuate change that is really annoying in US politics. Without information about what's happening we'll never have a chance to change things, the whole culture of police violence loves hiding in the dark which is why news articles, body cams, and public videoing officers are met with such push back from police and their protectors.

Worked on a Haskell team as a test engineer for 14 months and struggled like hell to understand monads (one of the researchers there came up with using the damn things, but I couldn’t understand it for the life of me). Wasn’t until I stopped looking at it through their academic lenses and had to simply deal with the repetitive errors of several chained functions that I understood it.

Thank you for the reference. Clearly you are right that Lambda runs on EC2. Specifically they mention that Lambda runs on EC2 bare metal instances (i.e. without any of the containerization), which makes a lot of sense to me.

I feel in this case the distinction between EC2 and EC2 bare metal is very important. Based on the GP's use of "EC2"[0] its clear they meant "the EC2 containerization model/code", rather "EC2" to mean "the EC2 hardware and/or software together".

I'll correct my original response: "While Lambda does run on EC2 hardware, Lambda uses Firecracker rather than the EC2 containerization model/code. I would be very surprised if we can correctly infer anything about Lambda's containers based on EC2's containers.

Maybe one day in the future (or already?) EC2 will also use Firecraker. At which point this comment should be deprecated.

You shouldn't be downvoted. There is so much apathy with regards to "bad news" like this. So many people feel this way: "if I can't meaningfully participate in improving this societal ill, I would prefer to ignore it."

It is totally legit to ask how you can help beyond just feeling outraged. Answers to that question should exist and get talked about more.
Without disagreeing with anything you've said there, even if you /think/ you have nothing to hide now and happen to be correct in practice, it's a terrible assumption to think that you can count on that being true forever.

Imagine you witness a murder in a restaurant, cold blooded and it's dirty cops working for a three letter institution that did it. You want to give evidence like a law abiding, upstanding citizen with nothing to hide. Suddenly you have something to hide despite having done nothing wrong.

"Nothing to hide" means nothing to hide from all current and future humans who control some small aspect spying on you. Even just control access for 30 seconds. It's nuts. Even if you think every single last one of the current guys are honest and completely competent despite the head of them criminally lying, while under oath, in answer to a question with notice in legitimate oversight. Who is going to infiltrate that power in 10 years? Radical anti-fa is impossible? White supremacists impossible? Religious cultists? Organised crime? People flipped to work for hostile foreign nations?

"I have nothing to hide" is is gradeschool silliness to be treated with contempt every time it comes up. It needs to be ridiculed as anyone suggesting it is an idiot or just totally and knowingly dishonest. There are just so many ways it is completely wrong, the only debate is which of the ways it is false and a con is more important than the other.

> [police claimed] that Mistic resisted arrest, causing one of the officers to break his leg.

It's unfortuante that the wording is ambigous. My interpretation was the opposite, that the deaf man broke the leg of the police officer.

Checking with other sources, it seems that what happened was that a police officer accidentally broke his own leg.
Let’s assume for a second that his campaign’s emails were truly going to spam by default. If that’s happening by default (we don’t know that it isn’t), isn’t that cause for concern?

Either the spam algorithm is rightly (by design intent) filtering because the campaign emails fit certain heuristics of spammy email. Or perhaps a skunkworks style rogue group within Google is meddling. (To be clear, I’m not suggesting this is happening, and personally believe it’s improbable – but one must consider that it’s possible.)

Splitting is a known tool of conservationists, would you agree that all the prairie chickens that live in Texas aren't important because we have them in other states? The lesser prairie chicken is probably the best example I can think of to what you're arguing, but honestly the splitters while maybe somewhat dishonest seem to have good intentions. Another example might be the Gunnison Sage grouse, both of these are kind of the case of us as a culture not valuing desert landscapes.

I really can't think of a case like you are mentioning where its just egregious splitting that serves no purpose, most of the time its to make a case to preserve the habitat of a bird in a specific place.

You do seem like you might be on the side against the spotted owl since the barred owl is just a better adapted equivalent that due to changing fauna of the great plains was able to migrate west and displace the native spotted owl.

I do agree with one part that you seem to be harping on that sometimes species are sometimes split for seemingly inane purposes, often probably to promote someone's career, but I don't think that is really the case when it comes to conservation, often these are last ditch efforts for landscapes that nobody is paying attention to or caring about since they aren't charismatic. Notice nobody has to split up the resident orcas to get support for them.

As many folks as we have dog piling onto "vax bad" train, there is no shortage of people with incentive to dig in here. The fact the vaccine has been fully vetted in the same manner as any other vaccine seems to be lost on most folks. Additionally, this seems to be an extension of general vaccine hesitancy which has absolutely no scientific basis whatsoever but continues be a problem in the US.

When you have nuts sticking spoons to their face, claiming to have been magnetized, and those folks are speaking with equal authority and to as broad of an audience as respected scientists, there's a problem.

What Is Text-to-Speech (TTS): Initial Speech Synthesis Explained
Not sure if you listened to his explanation, but I took it to be a bit more nuanced. His main complaint is that the authors have in the past made big claims about their findings, making this in context appear that they are making the science fit a narrative, rather than using the science to construct the narrative. All this stuff could have happened, but it seems to ignore other evidence that doesn’t support the narrative, like that it is normal in ancient cities to have layers of burned out structure under others.

He’s not fully dismissive, just critical of the leading narrative, and any scientist should have the same skepticism in their own work, these scientists don’t seem to work that way, if we are being a bit uncharitable (which seems OK in context). If they are right, they can address the concerns in future grant-funded research :)

It may be helpful to add I worked and published in academic research. My leads always got giddy when a hypothesis we had wasn’t supported as expected by the data, much science is indeed initiated because of an existing opinion or bias, but we use our tools to find the true answers and construct a better understanding of our existence, and accept when we are wrong, or find better evidence to support our often strongly held intuition.

Specific example, one project was to determine if the brightness of the Gegenschein was decreasing, indicating a rate of change of the contents of the outer solar system (asteroid belts), we had unique data that could prove it, and doing so would be exciting new science.

No matter how we looked at the data, it was very stable. Itself useful to contribute, but not exciting and not something grants are excited to pay for.
Well Japan has over twice the debt-to-GDP ratio (the important figure here) as the US, and has done for almost two decades now. The debt isn't one thing, it's millions of bonds being sold all the time, each of which has to be repaid after 1/3/5/10/30 years when it matures. The only reason people wouldn't buy them is if they expected the US economy to collapse within that period and thus be unable to get their money back, and very few people think that is going to happen.

The fact that raising the debt ceiling is an annual political hot potato is down to the US's system of government, in parliamentary systems such as most countries have the government has a working majority by definition and can pass their budget without fanfare.

Yes, I have a Pixel 3 and can confirm that the feature is off by default; I turned it on for a while to experiment and then turned it off again. Also, it appears that if you turn it on, it compares what it hears against a much smaller set of popular songs (probably comparing against a set of feature vectors that's already on the phone); the search for anything obscure tends to work only if the Google Assistant is used.
Yes. Estimation has about a 50/50 chance of being correct. When it's wrong management is unhappy and thinks we're doing it wrong.

> It’s impossible to overstate the extent to which AWS changed the world, particularly Silicon Valley. Without the need to buy servers, companies could be started in a bedroom, creating the conditions for the entire angel ecosystem and the shift of traditional venture capital to funding customer acquisition for already proven products, instead of Sun servers for ideas in Powerpoints.

So the author thinks that shared hosting or servers-for-rent did not exist before AWS' popularity?

Hope we apply the same metric to human drivers as well and don't allow anyone on the roads till they prove they are attentive 100% of the time and can maneuver like F1 drivers at all times. Monitored cameras every 100 feet would be a good start to find who's driving badly, and also a required driver face camera that records to a blackbox like device that cops can get the video from, and which the driver has no control over.

You're absolutely supposed to get angry– these cops attacked an innocent man, tased him, and stole 4 months of his life. I'm not sure why you'd think you're supposed to forget, though.
This is one of the reasons GNU Emacs will probably never be symmetrically multithreaded.

Frankly I’m not surprised at all that a plumber that is an effective troubleshooter could port that skill to the digital realm in a short period. Being an adept troubleshooter is pretty much the top requirement for the trade (that and a strong resistance to malodorous work environments).

I’d have been much more impressed and surprised to read an article profiling a programmer that became an effective plumber in the same amount of time.

Yep, I’m saying it—y’all just ain’t as smart as the plumbers out there…and most of you are kind of…”soft” in the physical department and probably would run screaming from the physical demands of the gig.

(I am including myself in the negative assessment above)

Since it is trying to replicate the C65 which came with a floppy, a tape drive wouldn't be more appropriate. Even for the C64 which is more era appropriate depends on where you lived. In the US the vast majority of C64s were used with a floppy drive. Software on tape was difficult to even find at your local computer store.
