In Russia (and I suspect much of the rest of the world) you don't need to fake anything. You pay off the doctor and get a shot of saline instead, along with a totally valid record in the government DB. They catch them from time to time, but doctors there are paid laughably little money (as in nearly all countries with fully socialized medicine), so they do what they can to get by. Price of admission is between 3000 and 15000 rubles ($40-200) depending on where you are.

yeah that was surprising but a lot of people in different fields tend to trust what pamphlets say over what an experienced addict has been through until they realize that the addict and them are a long more similar than they are different. regardless, I got into drugs because I had low self esteem thinking it would “open my mind” enough to jar me out of anxiety. what I did not know is that I was treating the symptoms thinking it would solve the underlying issue of getting my stuff together.
Yes, their network stacks are definitely complex and cost a lot to maintain, I'm sure. But that doesn't necessarily make it a good deal if the customer isn't able to derive enough additional value from all that complexity. In fact it makes the offering less attractive if the complexity isn't sufficiently abstracted away and distract from product work or if their abstractions are leaky.

Recently I've been working with https://fly.io/ for a new app and it's a breath of fresh air compared to working with the big cloud providers. They offer simple but robust networking primitives built on top of ipv6 and WireGuard and provide a ton of value add on top like global distribution & load balancing, service discovery, TLS termination, all of which just work exactly like I'd expect it to, out of the box without any configuration on my side.

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention: their egress costs are also much more reasonable: https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/#outbound-data-transfer
You are free to live that existence all you want but that is your own personal risk assessment. Vaccines were the end of the game for governments being able to dictate our own risk assessments. There is literally nothing else we can do besides vaccines and treatments.

To suggest it is totally cool to play this game 2 years into this requires an awful lot of privilege.
Link light rail is grade separated for most of its route. Where it isn’t grade separated, it isn’t much of a concern, and it is never sitting in traffic (it has priority at all it’s crossings).
What do you mean, how is it possible? That's how markets work. You open a booth in the market, and you can ask any price you want. You can ask for a nickle or a million bucks. There's no rule about how much money you can ask for.

As for your assertion that there's a price fixing conspiracy, who do you imagine they're colluding with? What other company do you find charging these prices?
The Paywalled Garden: iOS is Adware (2020)
OP might have meant it as a personal attack and shaming, but it does point out a bias. The first benefit on the business's homepage is "Unlock the value of your community" and it's centered around jobs. Lockdowns (at least in the US) was tied with quite the wave of unemployment and continues to have lasting impact on that segment.

Of course, someone can also say everyone has bias what with it being a global pandemic, but it's still useful to be cognizant of said biases.
The $24/mo is probably to capture the users who will only generate a single website, which is probably most people. $24 for a website design is a very fair price, but I imagine their subscriptions will have a ton of churn.
> Red Hat is employing and paying for most of the desktop and server userspace developers (GNOME, systemd, pipewire, podman, ostree), I might as well use their official distro.

Yeah, that's pretty much my methodology for why I went Fedora too. Although I didn't know Red Hat was that deep into upstream work (awesome!), but it makes total sense.

Yup. It's sad all around. Ubuntu was my first ever non-Windows OS back in 2006 or so. I feel like every few years I mentally shout "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!" to Canonical, haha.
Most are unlimited. But the ones where you have an actual bandwidth cap, it comes out at less than $5/TB (if we're including the machine itself), the bandwidth itself, probably less than $1/TB
Sure you can do it in a PR. But this assumes that the feature is tested in isolation and not in conjunction with the rest the software. And the software really should be worked on as a whole.

How does that work? AFAIK there is always a root authority.
I know dozens of people working in the healthcare sector skeptical of covid vaccines, among them virologists specialized in RNA viruses.

Their skepticism is far more nuanced, and evidence based, than the "All vaccines are poison/bill gates gonna 5G us!" covid vaccine skepticism is usually framed as.

They do not oppose any other common sense measures, like mask wearing, they simply want to be careful about vaccines that have been pushed to markets in record times on very questionable, mostly political, narratives.

Like vaccines allegedly saving us with "heard immunity" when most people familiar with the topic knew very well how that was extremely unlikely to happen.

For those who wish to wear them, sure. But for those who don’t? That is fine too. Masks should be a personal choice at this point. Not something forced by the state.

We have vaccines. Getting one ends your obligation to participate in this Covid stuff. Forcing these NPI’s on vaccinated individuals is completely immoral in my opinion.

IIRC the boom started around the grunge era(30 years ago) when people in east and central cities started to realize Seattle sucked less than their frozen wastelands. I don't think it has slowed down since. All cities have booms and busts, but that doesn't mean you plan for the busts.

You fix the added demand with zoning and a comprehensive regional growth strategy. Not building freeways to service the demand you've have for decades is just insane.

I don't think there has been a single new freeway added since I can remember(early 80s). There is still a huge reliance on surface streets and 2 lane roads to get to the bedroom communities on the outskirts. Not adding lanes to, say, hwy 18, hasn't done a damn thing to limit growth in the east side. It has turned the region into a giant clusterfuck around rush hour though.
Just to be the contrarian I am, I'll say that dell is still actually pretty good. You just have to buy the business models like the precision to get the best experience now

Thanks for the recs, though Google has caused unexpected design problems in my usage. Sometimes it unpredictably switches to dark mode, then light mode on Firefox and Safari. Google's answer box also sometimes displays wrong information (infamously, "Google turned me into a serial killer" on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27622100).

I'm curious about Amazon Basics and Beats. For the former, they sell so many products that the ones I buy are pretty good (e.g. office supplies), but I have run into other products with middling reviews. For Beats, I would expect them to be good because Apple acquired them, so it's interesting to hear they have problems.
The light rail is _mostly_ not grade separated.

Within the densest part of Seattle they took over the underground tunnels which for years had been used as (electric) bus transit only tunnels with light rail.

Past the stadium in the south it's at grade.

After a brief tunnel under the major hill it is at grade through the gentrifying area south of Seattle.

It goes above grade near the airport.

There are expansions to the east and north that I haven't seen yet, and the expansion to the south hasn't yet reached a stage where I've seen sufficient details to answer.
> is essentially impossible to build meaningful relationships when all your coworkers are nothing more than a Slack pfp

I grew up on irc, ventrilo, teamspeak, and now discord. Some of my best friends are just usernames (not even profile pics)! It is possible to build long standing relationships with people just through text and voice chat, let alone video.

> And being unable to build meaningful relationships makes it harder to grow a career.

Harder or unfamiliar? No generation has had remote as an available option as ours has. In the same way we say "X is harder than Y" in technology when really we mean "I have used X but not Y" it might just be something we need to attempt.
I will never take public transit, until I am sure I will not be stabbed in it (or catch Covid). So far no city in USA created this secure feeling. I don’t care what color the traffic lights are and how many bus only lanes there are.
I suspect I am not the only one.
Oddly, you're right. I may have over egged the batter on that one. The smart version of my comment would have been "lol, confirmation bias," which describes cryptozoology, ancient aliens, and pretty much everything else that is the logic of an idea, or ideological.

If you can find confirmation bias funny, like next level hilarious (especially when you are into the lettuce) you can find anything funny I suppose. But still, I laugh a through each episode and can't watch the news anymore because once you've seen it, you can't not. Cryptozoology is the same kind of game of pretend.

Looking forward to leaving the house more in 2022.

>I don't know how to answer your rhetorical question that has nothing to do with anything I said, but the principle of liberal civil rights is equal opportunity and was more dominant in the early years. You can read more about it here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_opportunity

These are your words, verbatim, with emphasis added by myself:

>OP's ideas are squarely in the tradition of the early US civil rights movement, which was focused on rather than simply discriminating in the opposite direction.

So again, how was the early US civil rights movement successful given its focus rather than "discriminating in the opposite direction?" And it's not a rhetorical question.

Or, to put it more specifically, in what ways were unjust power and privilege taken from white people, as they must have been during the days of the civil rights movement in the process of "working hard to bring about equal treatment," that did not also discriminate against white people?

>I already called you out for making baseless claims that are completely at odds with everything in the OP's message. Now you're doing it to me.

That basis of my claim is the argument that it is impossible to achieve equality in an unequal system without biasing that system against those who benefit from its bias. The simple act of achieving equality itself is discriminatory. Or, put more succinctly, when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

>You should spend more time considering the difference between your feelings about what someone said and the words they actually said.

No, I should waste less time getting baited into fruitless arguments on this site. Good night. I'm closing this thread and forgetting it ever happened.
Maybe you imagination is limited. China has done this precisely. They have kept the virus in check while limiting international travel and while being the world's factory. You open up when enough of your population is vaccinated.

I wonder why you feel that it is fine to say "too late" for this measure that obviously works. Do you also say too late to lockdowns, vaccine mandates, restaurant and schools closures, and mask requirements. If you don't, then maybe spend a moment thinking if your epidemic response is guided by your political allegiances
>I don't like the idea of building my entire friend group, or a majority of it, around who I work with.

I think you're seeing this in the wrong light; you interact with your teammates (even remotely) way more than most people. Isn't it healthy to have good relationships with them?
The immune system (and vaccines) operate mostly on the external bits of a viral particle.

These bits perform several critical functions: hiding from the immune system, attaching to cells the virus needs to replicate in, etc.

Changing any of these things results in two questions.

(1) Does the change make the virus better or worse at X? (where X is something related to what that bit was doing)

(2) Does the change make the virus more or less visible / resistant to the immune system?

The answer to both of these are independent, and for any one particular change, depends all the way down to chemistry and physics.

It's possible that a given virus design cannot mutate external features without rendering itself ineffective. It's also possible that relatively minor mutations can make it more effective and/or able to avoid antibodies and the immune system.

The mutation space has been studied for SARS-CoV-2, but to put it simply, it's a very complicated problem that involves (among other things) protein folding and molecular simulation. Not easy stuff to brute force.
Let me guess. You're single, have no kids and wear a mask in the car. You're deathly afraid of this virus because you watch CNN everyday. You have 2 doses of vaccine and 5 boosters? You talk about long Covid but haven't been sick in 10 years. The term post viral syndrome is foreign to you?

The parent comment misunderstands that most of Amazon's customers are very clearly not extremely concerned about the bandwidth costs (even if they'd all happily receive a lower bandwidth bill from AWS). They're not there for the cheap bandwidth. That's the central flaw in the parent's bafflement about markets, they did a exceptionally flat appraisal of the AWS value proposition, as though AWS isn't a gigantic business of many dozens of service offerings which act as a customer magnet and retention mechanism.
I don't think my number will be called. In the US, the hysteria is already fading even in the most liberal areas. In certain states like SC and FL, the people have pretty much decided that the pandemic is over. I really don't foresee this flipping back to lockdown in those areas. Self sufficiency is a virtue, one that I have been cultivating long before any of this happened; owning land and knowing how to use it makes a lot of the bullshit happening in the cities rather trivial. Working remotely takes care of the rest.

There's no reason for me to brag here. You can pretend I am an unhealthy, fat hick if it makes you feel better. For anyone else who is thinking of becoming a bit more self sufficient and is chafing under the yoke, I would recommend leaving the large cities foremost, and buying a house on some arable land. Read "The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency" for a primer on what is possible.

If you’re not careful and just be lazy with your hand crafted queries you’ll miss updating old queries when you alter your schema. You won’t convert your types the same way in each places you query the data, or you’ll forget checking your data’s consistency where it’s falling in the cracks between your SQL rules and the application’s requirements.

The “not careful and just be lazy” way won’t get you in a good place whatever approach you take.
True, sometimes it will be equivalent to car travel in that way. But it will never be _always_ true. So overall, Ride share decreases car ownership, but increases traffic.

I loved the original iPod Shuffle - the one that looked like spearmint pack of gum. This may or may not be what you're referring to, but to me it was Perfect; the only Apple product I've truly enjoyed without the 5-25% incredible frustration I typically hit when I stretch my usage of any other Apple product. It felt like Apple philosophy distilled - beautiful, minimalistic and stylish but usable and useful too, even well priced and reliable. In fact I still have mine!

The following generations lost the allure somehow. Smaller, but that smaller form factor didn't actually work for me; it did not fit in my hand or in my pocket as nicely, you now needed a cable to charge it (how very Un-Apple in theory, how very Apple in practice!).

But the first one was just perfection. I got a couple of other MP3 players since in as similar format as I could find, both no-name clones and big-name versions, but nope, none of them were as smooth and easy.

P.S. Do *NOT* get me started on loss of 3.5mm port ;-<
Most civil rights law is concerned with preventing and punishing disparate treatment based on race and other protected characteristics. It does not discriminate against whites unless you believe that whites are entitled to discriminate. So there's the answer to your question. Equality is not the same as discrimination in the opposite direction.

Equality doesn't feel like oppression to me. Equality feels like equality. I can tell the difference between equal treatment and racial preferences, and so can large majorities of Americans of all races.

You're the one who's deeply confused about the difference between equality and discrimination. Ending a bias in favor of white people doesn't mean discriminating against white people, and large majorities of all races know that. Large majorities prefer equal treatment to racial preferences.

I think a possible clue would be to look at the products that pile up in peoples homes, but are essentially cast off or unused. Home space is a staging area for the landfill, if not an outright landfill.

This is a great question, and I don't know if the answer is as clear cut as the "No" responses here suggest. With 1TB free, Cloudfront has now removed the incentive for AWS customers (those who use EC2 or S3) to adopt Cloudflare's free or even $20 tier. While Cloudflare doesn't make much money off these customers, it's how their network learned and grew. 1TB is more than enough for a lot of applications.
