I think we'll solve some of this, most people who want a WAF just want to check a box. It makes sense to sell them a WAF. It's not where we're most valuable, though, our customers are pushing us towards much more interesting infrastructure. :)

Such verbosity (and other bloat and complexity in how AWS does things) is why I could never get excited about S3, EC2 et seq. when these services were first announced. Rightly or wrongly, I believe it is because most of AWS was originally implemented in Java. Programming in Java requires a certain comfort with verbosity and clunkiness. That showed through in early AWS interfaces and documentation. Indeed, it has alway been painful to interact with manually.

The goal is to instigate an emotional mood in the limbic system, and insert a semantic construct to associate with that mood. The science has been abstracted into career jargon and lost all connection to its roots.

It’s not about factual communication of current events, but emotional information transmission. It’s to titillate the emotional system and inject banality. To keep people thinking about the angry shit.

We’re doing what religion does; instigate anxiety with unverifiable “truth” as our culture is based upon that empty truth.

As someone else mentioned in another thread - it depends. There are definitely legal protections for being a CERTAIN KIND of short, for instance (such as Achondroplasia).

The law focuses on reasonableness of accommodations and the actual job needs, so for instance you can't discriminate based on height if it is a legitimate medical condition and there is the option of reasonable accommodations - say it's a cashier job, and stool would be perfectly fine and adequately allow them to do the job.

If there is no reasonable accomodations, say because the job is not being a cashier, but being a basketball player, and stools or other devices don't help adequately enough to be competitive, then you could discriminate all you wanted on that condition.

The issue of course is a lot of people can't untangle their own prejudices and ideas of what it takes to do a job or who should be doing it enough to even legitimately articulate the ACTUAL requirements to do a job, and tend to spew a bunch of half though out stereotypes, so they run afoul of it pretty regularly. And the gov't (and labor market) MOSTLY lets them unless they're pretty big.

Putting 'legally protected classes' in the CoC is pretty ridiculous, since there are a ton of different definitions depending on context.
>The incentive is…not necessarily to protect the habit

Except many of the incentives explicitly state the goal is to protect habitat.

These voluntary agreements reduce or remove identified threats to a species. Examples of beneficial activities include measures for restoring or enhancing habitat, expanding or establishing habitat…”

They had amazing art. What you may be referring to is the notion of craftsmanship. There was no mass reproduction, but individual people (of all skill levels) made by hand their own art, incorporating it into every day objects and adding decorations to even various bricks that make up a wall or putting reliefs in what (to us) would be random places. This can be seen with a little walk around Venice, for example. You'll see gargoyles staring at you from back alleys, from stones on the street, from awnings on houses, the tops of keyholes in gates or attached to lamps hanging in the street. Little bits of art everywhere, made by millions of people. Most of that would not meet the critera for realism and technical proficiency of academic art, but the overall effect is one of great beauty.

You also see this with the painstaking illuminations on books -- the monks didn't just copy the books, they drew, adding their own art, throughout the book. Now maybe they were trained in copying and Latin and not in drawing, but they still drew everywhere they could draw. In the margins of pages, around letters, along the spine and between paragraphs. It was an explosion of art, from the carvings a carpenter would add to the handle of a water bucket to the carvings a smith added to the side of a spoon, or adding flowers to a dresser and turning door handles into bees or serpents, or the thousands of little statues and figurines filling churches. Then we have stained glass -- not even a simple window would do, the window had to be made with hundreds of drawings in it and different colored glass. The floors with different colors and carvings on tiles. Drapery with elaborate figures sown into it. Art, art, everywhere, there was art, only they considered it craftsmanship.
This seems analogous to esp32 deep sleep. In this mode the co processor can monitor gpio pins on the device to wake up or even control some parts of the device… very useful for battery powered devices… makes total sense apple and probably all smart phones have a similar multi chip architecture to mange the device power and sensors… it does suck that the side effect of this could be used for evil and that even when we use the power off features it doesn’t turn completely off… I do miss real on off toggle switches that actually break the copper connection between the chips and the current…
A lot of "best practices" are developers who make code complex in order to attain some level of architectural purity for its own sake.

An example of this I recently experienced was trying to understand and debug what should have been a simple integration app, but where a ton of injected commands and queries were used to implement the functionality. Following the logic was painful as the code was completely atomized for no particular reason. Worse, real-world concerns, like proper logging, were ignored.

I hate to call this an "autism tax", but perhaps there's something to the term: many intelligent developers, especially left unsupervised, tend to pursue highly abstract solutions, to what should be straightforward problems in order to satisfy a compulsion for order and symmetry.
my partner and I found ourselves in the 60+ zone and we have had some fairly wild pest interactions. spent about 8 months battling spider mites trying not to use commercial pesticides (we found a lot of plants don't tolerate them well) until we bought predatory mites as a biological control and haven't seen them since. now we are battling a significant thrips infestation and some fern aphids (tried CO2 gassing these with a modified soda stream!). We quarantine new plants, but it seems that some of these pests can just periodically come in from the environment. never a dull moment!
> This type of contact classification is useless

As another commenter mentioned, no, it's not. It's required in Chinese. In English you would just say "This is my cousin", but in Chinese, the word for "cousin" changes depending on the details of how that person is related to you.
You don't get credit for throwing crap against the wall, even if some of it might hypothetically stick ("hypothetically" being the key word, you are still imagining details that weren't in the original account). That's indicative of bad faith.
Risk assessment given missing data is very much personal and subjective. It's ridiculous that some try to use "the science" as a justification for their personal values or risk assessments.

HotSpot Escape Analysis and Scalar Replacement Status
> Consider that even with the most high end CPUs, they include the copper slug stock coolers than can make even a 45W rated CPU thermal throttle.

While isn't true for either the i9-10850K or the i7-10700K, but one is included for the i7-10700. However overclocking is mostly irrelevant on the 10700 since it requires changing your motherboards clock and most people won't bother.

Honestly I love what they're doing. With AIO coolers in abundance getting liquid cooling no longer requires researching and building a custom loop, and is nearly as easy as installing air cooling. If my PSU's 12V rail can deliver 250W, and my cooler can easily displace 250W, why not let my processor consume that much?

> The end result is that Intel is already pushing their chips to near maximum performance, power efficiency be damned, leaving zero room for overclocking

Isn't this what silicon lottery was doing before? Intel saw that market space and is now filling it directly. Overclocking has never been about power efficiency anyway (undervolting of course is), it's always been decreasing gains as you increase the voltage and clock rate. Also, as an owner of a i9-10850K, I can confirm that there is room for overclocking (tho not much or else it would be an i9-10900K), and you can find many instances of people overclocking their i9-10900Ks as well.

Intel has figured out what their high-performance non-business users want and are delivering on it perfectly. This is even one/two of the reasons that siliconlottery is listing as to why they're closing.

I mean, PwC aren't consultants, they're accountants. They do audits and stuff. They actually got out of consulting entirely when they sold their consulting arm to IBM, but they've rebuilt that somewhat - I believe their consulting org is now called Strategy&, but they're somewhat arms-length (because it doesn't do, post-Enron, to be providing consulting services on how to structure your business to a company whose accounts you're also auditing)
Sounds like you're throwing a bunch of arguments at the wall and hoping some of them stick rather than trying to figure out what's true. Wealth is presumably fixed at first-order, so comparing equally wealthy rural or urban residents seems fairest (unless you're trying to argue that cities are bad because they increase economic growth?); if the argument is something like "emissions are only higher in rural areas because rural residents are more likely to own cars because they're wealthier", that doesn't really refute the notion that rural is worse for the planet, it just means that poor people can't afford rural lives. I can't even follow what your unsourced talk of sub-urbanization is trying to claim.

The post you were replying to gave an argument for why GHG emissions would be lower in urban areas that, while not necessarily proven, at least passes the sniff test.

It seems believable? I definitely don't intend to accuse you of extinction denialism. But I would believe it's one of those subtle differences between American English and other dialects. I frequently get the impression that, when it comes to range of expression, my native dialect is a bit like music mastering in the CD era: no medium intensity anymore; instead everything's pushed up against - and being clipped by - the upper limit of the dynamic range.

This is a dialect where "awesome" doesn't mean anything remotely like "awe-inspiring", except in books that were written prior to the late 20th century.

To me, my biggest pain points is I cannot set NS record for a sub domain.

My use case is this: I had a certain subdomains where I want to use LetsEncrypt DNS with DNS validation. I don't want to give the whole domain to the auto renewal script. With another DNS provider, AWS Route53 for example, I can easily create another zone for that subdomain say blog.domain.com and set NS record on blog to that zone. Then create an API key with only privileges to manage that sub zone. I cannot do that with CloudFlare though.

Agree on Cname flattening. It cause some issue for my email forward service in the past.

So we have customer use githb page and set CNAME on apex domain. Then they add a MX record for apex domain. CloudFlare UI allow them to do that. But upon resolving won't return MX records for the apex. So my customer aren't able to finish setup. Eventually we have to set the A Record on Apex to an IP.

Definitely. I think the growing TDP would be more concerning if AIO liquid coolers weren't so common these days. Setting up a water cooling loop used to be expensive and time consuming. Now it takes about $80 and 15 minutes, and Intel is catering to this.

The 'Dirty Cop is Gonna Get You' is the 'gradeschool silliness' here. It's 1000x more likely that the criminals who did the murder want you killed because you're a witness. Witness intimidation is widespread and 'default' in some communities ('snitches get stitches'), and while the 'Dirty Cop' thing does happen in reality, it happens mostly on Netflix, and there's a difference between overzealous prosecutors/cops and 'dirty cops'.

Also consider that tech will exonerate as much as otherwise: for such and such murder, the 'background use' of the tech would be to provide you with an alibi.

Forensics have generally improved Justice I think, not the other way around.

> The best technology winds up disappearing into the background and is unremarked-upon.

Very much agree, but what I've seen is that DL based solutions do not disappear into the background.

It's so rare for them to disappear into the background that, sitting here at my computer right now, thinking real hard, I can't come up with a single consumer DL product that works reliably. I'm pretty sure there are a few things but it's soooo rare.

Face ID works most of the time but the success rate for me is like 1 in 50. It's very very cool technology but it's also very unreliable. Also if face ID never existed I don't think my life would be worse off in any way.

The same basic issue I can apply to ever DL solution I can think of. The best way I can describe it is they feel... janky. Always janky.
I've had similar conversations before and, after some back and forth, the bullish-on-AI person ends up saying much of what you said. Here's where we end up in a weird stalemate...

> I also wouldn't characterize "ability to automatically detect cardiac episodes and summon help" as some kind of marginal improvement!

Maybe not a marginal improvement, but there's a lot of amazing technology in the medical, industrial, and military sectors. For example people are surprised that FLIR was actively used in the military in the early 90s!

I have no doubt that DL is going to drive a lot of the innovation in highly specialized areas.

What I'm talking about (and terrible at communicating, honestly) is general purpose consumer applications. Can DL significantly improve the lives of every day people? Right now I'm seeing a lot of toy applications, innovation in highly specialized areas, and only hopeful ambition for general use.

What I'm waiting for is that magic moment when I use a technology that a) works flawlessly and b) changes how I live my life. As soon as I see a DL based solution that does that then I'm sold. I just haven't seen it yet.

In suburbia, sure. In urban areas, 3+ bedroom apartments are definitely a thing, as are relatively spacious apartments for their bedroom count, and overlooking luxurious courtyards.

They are as expensive as you’d expect from places where studios are more expensive than suburban 3 bedroom single-family homes, though.

Well, first off, when the courts are able to hold people individually accountable for their actions, they behave better. One of the reasons that police officers can't be held accountable is qualified immunity. If you don't know why it's problematic, basically it prevents people from being held accountable for their actions by dismissing cases unless they are identical to past cases... and since cases are dismissed before trial, there is regularly no case law to compare cases too.

You can write your elected representatives at the federal level and encourage them to end qualified immunity, thus allowing people to sue individuals when their rights are violated.

You can write your state level elected representatives and encourage them to provide a right of action under state law against law enforcement to end qualified immunity.

You can contact your local (city, county) representatives and encourage them to rewrite contracts with law enforcement such that law enforcement members who are found to have acted innappropriately face financial penalties, can be fired, etc, and those who have done so in other jurisdictions are not eligible for hiring locally.

You can, if you favor more bold choices, also explore ideas around which government programs are priorities, and giving more money to social support programs, homelessness prevention etc, so that people don't need to interact with law enforcement, and less to law enforcement.
