Doesn't amazon.com run on us-east-1?
So I understand that this exact clause is in contracts which must be signed by paid speakers at public universities. I.e. you cannot boycott Israel and give a lecture at a university. Would you consider that an infringement on speech?
AWS management APIs in the us-east-1 region is what is affected. I'm guessing Heroku uses at least the S3 APIs when deploying new versions, and those are failing (intermittently?).

I advise not touching your Heroku setup right now. Even something like trying to restart a dyno might mean it doesn't come back since the slug is probably stored on S3 and that will fail.

I worked at Walmart Technology. I bravely wrote post mortem documents owning the fault of my team (100+ people), owning both technically and also culturally as their leader. I put together a plan to fix it and executed it. Thought that was the right thing to do. This happend two times in my 10 year career there.

Both times I was called out as a failure in my performance eval. Second time, I resigned and told them to find a better leader.

Happy now I am out of such shitty place.

One of my pet peeves with command line tools is where they take a list of values but also support flags. You then have no end of fun working with hyphen-prefixed file names and no end of hard to find bugs too (at least most shell script writers are aware that spaces in file names are a pain but these kinds of bugs are a lot more dangerous and easier to forget).

I can forgive a lot of design flaws because the tech was new and people didn't know any better but I always struggle to apply that same reasoning with the design of having commands that support both free text and flags that change that command's operation. I'm surprised nobody at the time paused and said "this might be a problem" when they were writing their tools and only using the hyphen to distinguish between a flag or data. Maybe I'm being a little unfair though -- it is hard to put yourself in their shoes and unlearn 50 years of tech.

My biggest peeve about it though is that I can write a shell that doesn't apply to POSIX and which fixes a lot of shortcomings of shell scripting. But I cannot fix this specific class of bugs without rewriting the entirety of coreutils.
Why would I, as a European, want my servers in US Central?
If you get fired, you can apply for unemployment. A company that is going to fire you for setting boundaries or requesting time off due to toxic culture is the same type that will bad mouth you if you resign.
What distinguishes land from all the other things you have mentioned is that there is a finite limit to its amount. You can issue new shares, make more goods, build new buildings, and write new songs, but the amount of land available is actually shrinking.

We need a land value tax. The wealthy shouldn't be able to extort rent from the rest of society for having bought up a finite resource that gets its value from that same society. Land speculation is a scourge that drives people into poverty and homelessness while good land goes sits idle.

A very common one I've hit once or twice is people assuming bash is the system shell (which is common with Linux, but far from ubiquitous as Debian for example uses dash) and using bashisms while leaving the hash-bang as #!/bin/sh.

I always go with #!/bin/bash as I do often use bashisms, and only #!/bin/sh when I know I've been careful (because at the start I know I'm writing something intended to be as portable as practical, or I've gone through with a fine-tooth comb to test compatibility at a later time).
I've run into a lot of these issues using it and I've even reported them on every available channel.

The original image is my biggest complaint. I was making a service where users would want to batch retrieve what they've uploaded. No response on the forums to that.

Also hit the CORS issue, so rather than fetching an image and loading it into a canvas I have to use a fake image element. This makes the canvas untrusted.

Delete was also annoying. I wanted to blow out my dev environment and there was no way to just purge everything.

I kinda stalled, was going to try S3 since the original image thing was such a breaker for me. I was vocal about all these same issues, making my own threads and bumping others in the forum.

Man, between costs and shenanigans like this, why don't more companies self-host?
well that's true, but are you under the impression that the value of copyrights are not ever taken into account in determining the value of an artist's estate and are thus not taxed at the time of death?

Alphabet has been reporting youtube ad revenue separately since last year or so: https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21121207/youtube-google-al...

In their latest (Q3/21) report they are hairs breadth away from Netflix revenue figures: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/youtube-q...

Considering that Netflix is profitable with the immense cost of producing their own content, I don't find it far fetched that Youtube would be profitable too (albeit with very different cost structure).
> No way to retrieve original image

that's probably the logical continuation of video hosting - if you upload something to, say, YouTube, you also don't expect to be able to retrieve the original video from there. It may be a high-quality version, but it still gets reencoded on upload...

So, we're getting failures (for customers) trying to use amazon pay from our site. AFAIK there is no "status page" for Amazon Pay, but the rest of Amazon's services seem to be a giant Rube Goldberg machine so it's hard to imagine this isn't too.
No idea, we don't use it. These were websocket connections to processes on ec2, via NLB and cloudfront. Not sure exactly what part of that chain was broken yet.

I think any fork of this nature would erode the trust in bitcoin and destroy the value immediately regardless of what happens to the coins themselves.
I agree, think of all those scientists that wasted precious resources on trying to prevent polio. Polio has been around for hundreds of years and there is nothing we can do about it. Now look at idiots like Bill Gates wasting billions trying to prevent Malaria. They should realize and accept that our technology and ability to affect nature is fixed and will never change.

Look at this clown, a rare painful and crippling disease killed his father and he found out he inherited it. He should have just accepted death but like a fool he allowed scientists to perform an experimental crispr treatment on him that changed his genetic code and cured him. He should have just accepted death:

Sure, I'm all-in on YIMBYism, but some places will always be more desirable than others and those places will likely always cost more and all things being equal buyers with two incomes will be more likely to be able to afford those houses.
Does anyone know what the scripting support looks like in v7? Scripts have always been a bit awkward on RouterOS (I spend ages perfecting one that turned DHCP reservations into dynamic DNS entries). I'm hoping they have worked on this a bit.
There's an issue with Millenium challenge though. General Van Riper gamed the system heavily. For example, he claimed to use motorcycle messengers instead of radios, but transmitted on radio anyways. He also tried to "use" fast attack craft carrying silkworm anti ship missiles that wouldn't even fit on the type of craft he described on the exercise. It's also worth noting that many wargames are similarly scripted to account for external factors
It's beyond beyond disputed: Wright was forced by the court to provide a sworn list of his bitcoin holdings as of 2013, and when he provided a list, immediately people owning thousands of Bitcoins came out of the woodwork signing messages with addresses Wright claimed to own calling Wright a fraud. https://cswarchive.info/csw-filed#145-Signings

So it isn't just that if it were true he could trivially prove it with a digital signature-- but that the true owners of many coins he claimed to control have stepped up and provided signatures saying that they're not Wright!

Unfortunately, Wright and his conspirators are spending millions to support and prolong their fraud and so it's no great difficulty for them to more or less control the media presentation of the situation.

Ineffective dive bombing at Midway? It was the only thing that was effective!

And, why do you say that "the defense of the Philippines was a disaster"? It was a battle against hopeless odds, but are you saying it was bungled? If so, how?

And, what was poor about the navigation at Midway?
> Frankly I don’t understand the criticism; I don’t care if I get a compiler error during template evaluation or during compilation or during linkage, a compiler error is a compiler error.

You might want to consider a setup where the library author is not the same person as the library user. Don't you think it's important that the former sees and not the latter? That's why linker errors and compiler errors and template errors are not equal. Also, if you make an error in a template or its instantiation you might not even get an error but an infinite (i.e., maybe aborted) computation. If you don't see the difference between these things, I cannot help you.
Congress has also been pretty clear that there's no right NOT to spend money on health insurance.
From my experience their cloud offerings are much slower network wise than the dedicated ones.
Unpopular opinion, but there is little to gain from talking about salary. It's not the business of your co-workers what your salary is.

I think salary is fine though to be shared anonymously like in trusted sites though and this helps create transparency in the industry.

From my experience, talking about salary with colleagues just creates a toxic environment where-in people spend too much time and attention thinking about whether their colleagues deserve their salary.

If I thought that I was not being paid enough, I could just apply and look for a higher paying job. I don't need to know what my colleagues are making.

Also, if an employer wants to pay employees differently then that is perfectly fine, since every employee is different in their contribution.
> the point is that when it's down, bring it back up is someone else's problem.

When it's down, it's my problem, and I can't do anything about it other than explain why I have no idea the system is broken and can't do anything about it.

"Why is my dohicky down? When will it be back?"

"Because it's raining, no idea"

May be accurate, it's also of no use.

But yes, Opex vs Capex, of course that's why you can lease your servers. It's far easier to spend company money with another $500 a month on AWS than spend $500 a year for a new machine.

Props to you and Walmart will never realize their loss. Unfortunately. But one day there will be headline (or even a couple of them) and you will know that if you had been there it might not have happened and that in the end it is Walmarts' customers that will pay the price for that, not their shareholders.

Remind me when USS McCain collided with another ship in a busy channel [0]. Because of a UI issue, they couldn't figure out where throttle control was and ran into someone. Which is crazy to me.

I was going to say, that there probably a few dozen people that use submarine nav software, so it's hard to get a representative sample of usability...but then it occurred to me that airplane software has a fairly limited audience too.

What's the process for test for developing aircraft software? How is nav done in aircraft? Theoretically they have the same issues (like hitting the ground).

Yeah, the ideas behind PS and Elvish are very interesting, however, I find that if I need to process more complex data, I typically reach for Python.
Except that it makes the rocks not worth as much.
You had a corporation with a million dollar business and a million dollars in cash. It pays out the million dollars in cash as dividends. Now the rockholders have a million dollars in rocks and a million dollars in cash, when they used to have two million dollars in rocks. Their rocks decline in value by the amount of cash no longer inside the corporation.

Nope, that is not the way it works. When you have ownership of a company (by holding stocks), the company can pay out a dividend and the price of the stock does not go down. On the contrary, the price of the stock may go up because the company has proven that it generates cash and will pay this cash out to shareholders periodically.

This is why companies viewed as assets have “intrinsic value” and something like BTC does not. If I own stock in a company that pays out dividends and the stock does go down, at least I still get money in the form of dividends. I can be assured that if the dividends continue (not a given), then the price of the underlying stock will “correct” to match the intrinsic value of the company over time.

Contrast that with BTC - I have no real way of knowing the “real” value of BTC. If the price goes down, then it may stay down forever as there is no way of accurately pricing it based on some real-world metric. It produces nothing, therefore this is why some people say it is not a good asset to own.
To be fair, he always states: "I am not a historian".

I'm making a far more banal claim: buyers with two incomes have more money than buyers with one income (all things being equal and across large numbers of people) and the latter will always be at a relative disadvantage.
I can't see why they'd use the most common/popular region as a guinea pig.
Different cars are much more obviously different than different web frameworks. When car shopping, you know whether you're looking for a RAM3500, an Odyssey, or a Mustang. Sure, the F-150 may win out in the end, but the Caravan and Charger were never contenders when looking for a truck.

Choosing between software (especially bikeshedding between languages that both place priority on being pleasant to write) is often like comparing a Tacoma to a Tesla on the quality of seat heaters, upgrade price for the sunroof, and selection of factory paint options. Worse, you can't often have a clear understanding of the difference without investing the time to gain direct experience with each option. Otherwise, you're relying on community reputation and hoping it's both accurate and not horribly out of date.
I never used it. It looks like people mainly used it for animations, I am not sure what kind of interactivity it allowed. It seems that the program didn't support actionscript.

If somebody wants to do animation and then export it to a video then tools like adobe animate and adobe after effects are still better options, although cavalry[0] looks really cool as well.

These do not really have the interactivity that moos.app gives you though.

Good point. A company is indeed somewhat like an AI, especially if it uses AI.

But as long as humans are in the loop, it isn't integrated, and integration is a tremendous advantage.

Humans can't update their own algorithms. Can't directly share what they know in fractions of second. Can't be replicated in a fraction of a second. Can't scale up brain power in seconds or less.

But - you are still correct. If the owners of a corporation are ok with it replacing all the human workers, then complete integration can still be achieved.

Wether an AI is owned by an individual, a corporation, or self-owned, the owner is the id for the AI.

The risks and motivations in any of these cases are really the same, with human owners only possibly introducing morals beyond what the environment requires, or other "inefficiencies".
We're in a situation where the balls of mud made people afraid to touch some things in the system. As experiences and processes have improved we've started to crack back into those things and guess what, when you are being groomed to own a process you're going to fuck it up from time to time. Objectively, we're still breaking production less often per year than other teams, but we are breaking it, and that's novel behavior, so we have to keep reminding people why.

The moment that affects promotions negatively, or your coworkers throw you under the bus, you should 1) be assertive and 2) proof-read your resume as a precursor to job hunting.

Yes, this is easily superior to most options; Debian/OpenBSD/whatever is far more trustworthy than any commercial offering (and many noncommercial options), and hostapd isn't especially hard to set up - a bit of effort up front and then you can just sit on it for years with no more maintenance than installing updates (and even that can be automated with unattended upgrades in Debian). The result is a capable little box that will get security updates indefinitely and which only serves your interests.
> It's not really a solution to the problem, it's usually just ignoring the problem and hiding the symptoms.

sounds like business as usual
You can even make the same error twice but you better have much better explanation the second time around than you had the first time around because you already knew that what you did was risky and or failure prone.

But usually it isn't the same person making the same mistake, usually it is someone else making the same mistake and nobody thought of updating processes/documentation to the point that the error would have been caught in time. Maybe they'll fix that after the second time ;)
> That declaration prompted the other Axis powers to declare war on the U.S.

That was Hitler's single biggest error.
Should I be penalized if an upstream dependency, owned by another team, fails? Did I lack due diligence in choosing to accept the risk that the other team couldn't deliver? These are real problems in the micro-services world, especially since I own UI and there are dozens of teams pumping out services, and I'm at the mercy of all of them. The best I can do is gracefully fail when services don't function in a healthy state.
You know that a car that is on the road has a person in it. Calling a motorist a car is objectifying that person and not recognizing their needs and existence. I'm all for nice pedestrian areas of cities, but the power of cities is allowing people to be able to meet and interact with lots of other people. Cars lets people do that better than any other device we have invented yet. Go where you want, when you want and can carry literally a ton of passengers and cargo, if desired. We just need to make cars work better, not ban them.

I think American pro and anti-car people should join together and support a massive tunneling project for major cities that would reduce traffic congestion by allowing cars, busses and trains to run in them. Convert the huge interstate highways in cities into low speed, one lane roads, separated bike lanes, and strip parks with pedestrian paths. Getting all that high speed traffic underground would be great. We should do that for an infrastructure bill instead of the one we got. Some actual new infrastructure that would help people out tremendously on the scale of the interstate highway system.

And I would agree, jaywalking being illegal is not so great (but it's not illegal on the small roads where peoples' houses are generally).
It is correct, but I'd add that the adversarial environment means that if 51% of miners were to collude to take some portion of the money, they'd rather collude to take all the money, which takes away the incentive for anyone to arrange a fork to do this, and if that were going to happen it would be happening all the time.

What would probably actually happen is that such a fork would be obviously illegitimate to users, exchanges, etc and people would use the unforked chain deliberately, and after some hash rate adjustment and delayed block times, the forked chain, even with 51% of the hash rate, would be close to valueless. Miners don't like mining valueless chuck e cheese tokens, so their hash power would return to the broadly accepted network.

This BTW demonstrates a security property of PoW that you don't get with PoS: you can't mine two networks with the same hash power, you have to pick one or the other. If bitcoin were a PoS system, validators could just stake both chains and make a riskless bet on the winning one, and even benefit from both.
