> (...) if anything us-east1 has a well-deserved reputation for being the flakiest AWS region and there have been repeated severe outages, most recently in 2017 (S3 basically down) and Nov 2020 (Kinesis and all services relying on it down)

I'm not sure S3 or Kinesis outages, or any other higher level service and serverless offerings, count as outages in this context, specially as they are quickly recoverable.

I believe the scenario involves something like, say, all EC2 dying or no traffic getting in or out for a few weeks. Think Katrina but on us-east-1.

You make it sound as if it was impossible to have such a marvelous industry without this deep degree of over-optimization. I disagree. The way I see it, with a bit more buffering here and there, it would be mostly the same - perhaps with less bullshit flights that could've been just as well taken by trains (which would be in a better condition, having more business flowing through them), and less middle-men everywhere sucking up the savings from all that optimization.

This is the thing with markets: whatever optimization you make, you won't reap the fruits of it for long. Someone - either competitors or adjacent third parties - will show up to suck out your margin, leaving you mostly as you were, but locking that optimization in as a permanent fixture in the industry. This means that when companies over-optimize, shoot past the optimum "value to profits" ratio and aim for higher margins still, they make the industry permanently (well, until next collapse) worse for everyone.

Personally, i just use containers to manage business applications - which often need a very particular runtime that's tested, verified and signed off on for maximum stability and predictable deployments.

On the other hand, i only use standard packages through apt/yum/apk/whatever for server software, a distinction that's lost too often in my opinion. Everything that the server needs to operate should have automatic (at least security) updates enabled and ideally the configuration should be fully automated through Ansible with something like GitOps and read only access through SSH (with fallback account with write access for special cases) for maximum auditability and being sure that this is less likely to happen: https://dougseven.com/2014/04/17/knightmare-a-devops-caution...

Furthermore, the servers themselves can be viewed as pretty much disposable at that point. A VM gets corrupted? Wipe it, create a new one, run Ansible against it to set up the environment, then just give the node a label in your container orchestration platform of choice and watch as your business software is automatically provisioned on the node, bringing the total capacity of your cluster up once again.

For personal devices with no important credentials, or development boxes which are similarly unimportant, piping random stuff and trying to work around the problems with multiple SDKs is more permissible, however. Seeing as PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, .NET, Python and other technologies aren't always pleasant to work with if you have different projects that need different environments, as humorously pointed out here: https://xkcd.com/1987/

Containers aren't always comfortable to use for local development (especially with OSes like Windows locally, without WSL2, due to problems with bind mounts but perhaps are for components like DBs, Redis, MongoDB etc.), but in certain dev boxes they are also viable, thus making development even easier.
> Only over X11 network protocol?

If you read the examples you'll see that they mount /tmp/.X11-unix in the container, thats where the X-Sessions Unix domain socket is. You can do the same for pulseaudio. But you shouldn't. Use Wayland and Pipewire if you are actually interested in using this as a security measure, since they are built for sandboxing.

They only need it for hw-acceleration. You can also give the container access to it if you need that.

That isn't true. There are a lot of unvaccinated people - notably any that have recovered from COVID - who pose less danger to their coworkers than someone who has only been vaccinated.

This isn't based on risk assessment, this is based on ideology. There are situations developing where someone who is less likely to transmit COVID is being fired while someone more likely to transmit the disease is kept on - and everyone involved in the process knows it.
> A disgruntled employee (or a few) seems the most likely scenario for something that could cause an extended outage.

That's highly unlikely given the fact that a region like us-east-1 is comprised of about 6 availability zones, which are essentially independent data centers that are physically separate.

Thus for your scenario to take place, you would need each availability zone to have a single point of failure, and at least a team of 6 saboteurs with priviledges access to each of the 6 data centers to work together.

Even so, AWS 101 regarding well architected services states that reliability is achieved by having multiple regional deployments.

New Creative Marketplace?
But also regarding Germany: the market for supermarkets is very crowded (Aldi, Lidl, Edeka etc.) where there is a lot of price pressure between supermarkets. So the companies don't profit as much as they could in markets with less competition. The real beneficiary are the consumers.
Social media companies which are actively working with the government to censor opposing view points while also enjoying legal immunity from lawsuits.

In both the US and UK employers have to report earnings and banks / brokers have to report interest and investment income to the IRS/HMRC. Do the Swiss tax authorities trust citizens to correctly report their own income without any verification?

In the UK the government communicates your tax code to your employer payroll department to tell them how much tax to withhold on your earnings (taking account of tax credits etc.) Banks have to withhold the basic rate of tax (higher rate tax payers must file, but that already excludes 90% of tax payers from worrying about it.)

In the US the system seems similar except the government doesn't let your employer know how much tax to withhold so you fill in a form for your employer with the information that gets it mostly but not quite right (so long as you don't switch jobs that year!) Filing taxes as a regular employee ends up being substantially more complex than filing taxes as a self-employed person in the UK where the government provides an online system much simpler than that provided by the tax filing companies in the US (otherwise print and mail several different PDF forms and do the math yourself, fortunately if you get it wrong the IRS already knows what you owe so at that point they'll just point out the corrections and tell you what you owe...) And this beurocracy is of course all doubled because states have their own completely separate set of rules.

Genuine question for Rust programmers:

How do you undercut competitors that are doing what you do, but also have a revenue stream from compromising customer privacy, and are skimping on investment in securing their products?
I disagree. I've participated and even won a few of those "ML in sciences" competitions in the past, and all other things being equal, the one with the most compute wins. 12$/hour sounds doable, but as soon as you need to grid over more than 4 hyperparameters (and that's small), you're looking at 100s to 1000s of runs in parallel. And you'll iterate over that process several times. Eg It's no coincidence that deepmind (with all of alphabets compute power) won CASP with alphafold. Yes they have a lot of very smart people, but so does everyone else. But no-one has the power to experiment with such large models so extensively for so long.

So, we should cut off oxygen, because like everything, it has a beneficial range? I don't mind wearing blue-light-blocking eyeglasses at night, but to wear them all day long is plain stupid. Also, there's the phenomenon called hormesis, which recently shows benefits in the right amounts of even X-ray radiation. So, just like with UV, you should get enough of UV, but not above the upper limit, and should not fall below the lower one either. Same applies to everything including water - too much of it is toxic.
I also heard that professional musicians - guitarists as well - can tune their instrument by ear.

Pianos need regular tuning too, done by experts - they change tone depending on weather, temperature and humidity as well, so they have to be in a stable environment if at all possible. But these people can mostly tune them by ear, or they will have a tune fork for the base tone (A I believe) and work from there.
Luckily 1% IFR is an over-estimate by around 10x, may 5x if you use pessimistic assumptions, especially now with the vaccines. UK govt admitted in Parliament a few weeks ago that IFR is now <0.1%

Moreover that number assumes everyone will get infected, but there's nothing deep driving that belief. Scientists don't understand to what extent the immune system can recognize and fight viruses based on prior exposure to other similar viruses, so they just ignore the possibility and assume no such ability exists at all. Yet it's been nearly two years now and I never got infected even after I spent 10 days self-isolating with someone who had it and had symptoms. Most of the population hasn't tested positive despite saturation levels of testing. The assumption of 100% infection doesn't seem to be a very good one.
Yours is a strawman argument. I was talking specifically and also have mentioned the west as colonizers.

Moreover if we are talking about South korea, they have benefited from US backing.

"International relations between South Korea and the United States commenced in 1950, when the United States helped establish the modern state of South Korea, also known as the Republic of Korea, and fought on its UN-sponsored side in the Korean war" [0]

Of course they are fully developed now and may not depend on US backing. Even Japan after WW2 was helped by the US in reconstruction [1]

So in essence unless one of the "developed" countries helps you get a head start, you either develop slowly or not at all. Since all the tech and trade agreements are controlled by the established dominant players

Go to any place with a piano that is not used by professionals. Some places (here, at least) have public pianos, like train stations.

Press any of the keys and the same key on a different octave, together. For instance, Do and Do. Do you hear that slow oscillation of the sound going up and down? That is because the piano is not in perfect tune. If you were to try that on a concert piano before the show, the sound would be perfectly stable.

Aren’t most power grids still powered mostly by fossil fuels. You have to pay for the fuel one way or another - i.e. if it’s not gasoline, it’s coal or natural gas; unless you charge only at peak solar/wind power generation and there is excess power generated, your charging will increase fossil fuel usage.

Have to say, there's something really satisfying about an orchestra tuning before a concert. If everyone's tuned in, everything starts to resonate together which is when you know they're in tune.
This part is great from the article:

Obama is commander-in-chief of the US military and therefore ultimately responsible for the AC-130 gunship that repeatedly bombed and strafed a field hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan, a week ago.

Weirdly, the aircraft was almost certainly using a 40mm cannon made by Bofors, a company that was once owned by Alfred Nobel, the founder of the peace prize.

Two dozen people were killed, including three children. Among the adults were the staff and patients of the charity that runs the hospital, Médecins Sans Frontières. Doctors Without Borders, as it is also known, was given the Nobel in 1999 for its “pioneering humanitarian work on several continents”.

So a Nobel Peace Prize-winning President is being condemned for sending a gunship to kill the staff of a Nobel Peace Prize-winning charity using weapons made by the company that the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize used to own.
For the (few) docker-based browser containers I use, I simply bind-mount[1] the relative devices and (in Chrome) it all just works.

No, but it makes it explicit regarding what's unsafe, so that you'll more easily know where to put resources to make the unsafe code as bomb proof as possible. In C that's 100% of the code, in Rust you can keep it to a low percentage.
This is not just a coal story. Natural gas prices started rising a few months earlier, which put upward pressure on other energy commodities like coal and oil.

Generally, the idea is that you use a small amount of unsafe code to build a safe abstraction to do what you need, then use that abstraction in many places. So now you only have a few unsafe sections you have to verify for correctness, instead of the entire program like you'd need in C/C++.
