GCP is not separate from Google's core infrastructure; rather, it's built on top of it. That means that while you can certainly have GCP specific outages, this kind of core infra "everything is down" situation is almost guaranteed to hit everything, GCP and not included. A lot of GCP sub-products are productionizations of existing Google tech; e.g. BigQuery is a public version of Dremel, an internal database/query engine they'd been using internally for a while.

I'm pretty sure YouTube hasn't had their own infra in quite a while. When I was there ~8 years ago I think it was all integrated already. Certainly database, video processing, storage, CDN were all on core Google infra, and I'm sure the frontends were too though I don't remember looking into that explicitly.
> Israel is a Jewish state - it was determined long ago the Jews should get a nation state along side a Palestinian nation state.

It was also determined long ago that all ethnostates are stupid and dangerous and should not exist.

Fpr that matter, it was determined long ago that I should be king of the world.

It's just a question of whose determinations you happen to decide to accept...

> Considering Jews' unique history of persecution it would be pretty crazy to argue they are not a people, so they are not like white South Africans.

Wait, Jews are "a people" and Boers aren't? How did that happen?

The Boers are "a people" by any reasonably principled definition, and nonetheless South African apartheid was unacceptable. Representing "a people" does not give you a license to treat other people like shit.

... and you say "a people" like that's a good thing. In fact, the concept of "peoples" (nations, whatever you want to call them) is dangerous and destructive, and the (unfortunately natural and built in) human tendency to form attachments to arbitrary abstract groups is one of the top contenders for what's going to destroy the whole goddamned species.

> Creating "one democratic state" will rob both the Jews and the Palestinians of their right for self determination.

Only individual human beings have rights, not "peoples". Especially self determination.

The idea of group "self determination" is self-evidently moronic. To have self determination, you have to have a reasonably unified will and probably a reasonably unified mind. "Peoples" have neither.

> It will also in all likelihood create chaos,

Probably true. There is no good answer at this point. Things were already bad, and the foolish decision to create Israel really locked in the doom.
Large concrete dams like Hoover are almost invariably arch dams which are shaped so that the entire dam goes into compression as the water load comes on, so there is no real need for tensile steel. These dams can take decades to cure and just get stronger over time.

The connections to the rock are usually reinforced - steel that's encased in concrete is generally thought to be relatively immune to most corrosion effects for the design life of any particular structure (plus a lot longer if it's maintained).
I came across this article in the Smithsonian magazine [0] that details a similar breakthrough for cultivated truffles in the US. The challenge commercially vs. the morels here, however, is that the partner plant for truffles appears to be _an entire forest_.

I hear you Daniel. We have built a no nonsense image (and video) optimization service that addresses all of the issues and does more.

#1. Simple pricing [1]. We only charge for optimize bandwidth out. No other charge.

#2. Complete analytics [2] on number of images served, bandwidth usage, response times, formats of images served etc.

#3. You keep original images in your own storage [3]. We only cache it the first time we fetch an image to resize. This is to prevent any lock-ins and easy integration.

#4. You can easily setup any custom headers including CORS for all images from a dashboard.

#5. Complete dynamic resizing available with a simple API. As noted by CF officials below they can’t do it because they are a DDoS prevention company first. We are a media processing company first.

#6. No direct upload necessary. Our performance will be top of the line regardless of where the original images are stored.

#7. Max input size in free plan is 8192x8192 pixels. It’s even higher in paid plans. Plus all image formats including animated GIFs, Lotte, SVG are accepted and optimized when possible.

#8. Batch deletions not required as we don’t own originals

#9. We are super responsive to support and help our customers. We will let our reviews speak for that.

Hope you like it.

First Initial Game Offering (IGO) Featuring AI Robot Sophia
Hospital admissions does not mean deaths though and could be related to low vaccination and the quicker spread.

As far as I heard, omnicron settles more in the nose and less in the lunges => less deadly. This is not a certainty yet.

Source: doctor

Ps: yes. I had also a quote from another doctor which made it probable that it was going to be less deadly based on the large amount of mutations and history of viruses. Other doc, different situation, similar "hope". ( Mentioning just in case)

Additionally based on numbers from Africa: no more breathing devices, no deaths due to pure COVID, average hospital stay went to 2,5 days from 8,5 days.

I'm not sure I see why. Dreams tend to be unstable, but if a dream were particularly stable, and a certain behavior in the dream reliably triggered a certain insight (say, a dream sign that triggered lucidity), would that be evidence that consciousness was produced by the "material" in the dream?

In the same way, if this is a dream of sorts, the fact that certain dream behaviors can trigger certain changes in experience is also internally consistent. Of course, this "dream" has much greater stability to it, but the basic idea holds.
Beliefs are derived from experiences (ideally...more or less...)

Psychedelics deliver strange experiences.

Thus psychedelics affect your beliefs, make them strange or whatever.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

I believe it's because it shows you that reality is not actually real. It's just a product of your senses.

During a psychedelic trip, one might wonder "if I had been like this all my life, I would consider this to be reality, not what I'm used too".

It fundamentally shows you that what you consider reality might be very, very, very wrong. So how can I trust my own senses and perceptions if they can be so powerfully modified by such a simple molecule? What if the actual reality is what you experience during a trip, and what we consider reality is some kind of trip due to the lack of a molecule that allows you to fully experience reality(in the same way that the lack of nutrients and water can lead to mental confusion/delirium)? It opens up a world of possibilities.

There are a lot of businesses like this, with a profit incentive that is directly at odds with the health of their customers.

Yes.

Reason: Low vaccination (25%) and major spread.

But: no breathing devices required anymore, no fatalities related to purely omnicron and 8,5 days average hospital stay lowered to 2,5 days.

So "seems" much better. Main issue could be reinfection odds and effectiveness of vaccines depending on severity of the virus ( seems ok for now).
Yeah their use case is very odd. It feels almost like some suit pressured them to add it, and this was the easiest way to get it out?

Maybe submit a bug report? Takes at most 1 second for me with the android app, ~200 entries.
Firstly, it's based on an online survey,so take that however you want... i can't say that i can take it very highly.

Secondly...I don't think beliefs(as in the proper sense) themselves are that easily altered by psychedelics.Psychedelics can and more often than not do induce a very profound spiritual & metaphysical experience, but beliefs are deeper than that,more glued to the "gut" & unconscious: they're constructed in combination to previous experiences usually not by the "self".I guess this study's conclusion comes as a result of the fact that spirituality and belief is still probably at the lowest levels in the west.Thus you have such "conclusions" where people think they believe in something in a spiritual and metaphysical manner just because of stronger trips.From what i recall upon studying this subject, granted about 10 years ago(though that was still when the biggest boom of research about brain & cognition happened), belief is even deeper than cognition, so that's why i'm reluctant to this theory: i think it's universally true that we're aware when we take psychedelics, it affects our unconscious as far as in the cognition we do during the trip triggers it mainly as a way to either glue memories or as a defense mechanism.

Then again i'm probably in the minority to say that belief is in big part mostly unconscious,and predates cognition in the "traditional" sense: i.e thoughts of the usual self. I base this on the fact that memory "indexing & glueing" happens unconsciously, and also that for me anecdotally psychedelics (and very rarely nootropics) usually either reinforced a belief or completed a belief through a new experience.
BDS wants to dismantle/discontinue or whatever word you see fit Israel in it's current form by advocating for "the right of return". That means bringing in around 5-6 million refugees (overwhelmingly 2nd and 3rd generation descendants of the original refugees, since it was 73 years ago not many of the original people are alive) to create a Palestinian majority country.
By any meaningful sense it won't be Israel anymore just as the U.S won't be the U.S if 300 million Chinese people move there.
So I feel like destroy is a harsh but sensible word to use.
A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is".

Per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors a full mirror of the arch repos would be over 50 GiB. AUR would be impossible to tell, as you have to grab sources and build it yourself. I'd imagine fairly massive though.

I can only really speak for arch as that's what I'm familiar with, but I'd imagine the mirrors would not be happy about all the wasted bandwidth. The whole idea sort of seems unnecessary to me.

The tactical point is to remove sharp edges, eg there's a tool that optionally take a region argument.

network_cli remove_routes [--region us-east-1]

Blaming the operator that they should have known that running

network_cli remove_routes

will take down all regions because the region wasn't specified is the kind of thing as to what's being called out here.

All of the tools need to not default to breaking the world. That is the first and foremost thing being pushed. If an engineer is remotely afraid to come forwards (beyond self-shame/judgement) after an incident, and say "hey, I accidentally did this thing", then the situation will never get any better.

That doesn't mean that engineers don't have the ability to break things, but it means it's harder (and very intentionally so) for a stressed out human operator to do the wrong thing by accident. Accidents happen. Do you just plan on never getting into a car accident, or do you wear a seat belt?
How is the self-defeating skepticism lost on you? What reality? What molecules?

The only explanation that doesn't lead to absurdity is that drugs corrupt your perception. They interfere with and frustrate the healthy and proper operation of the brain and in doing so distort perception.
I have an Ergodox-EZ. I originally ordered it with loud clicky key switches but have converted to a much quieter switch with a weaker spring. I chose that model because of the columnar layout. I really only use about 48 keys on it due to the layers that firmware gives you. I have a full size number pad on the right if I hold down the “a” key, and the home row on the right switches to arrow keys if I hold down “f”. I’ve got another layer for working on MacOS so I don’t have to have funky layouts to make it work between Apple, Windows, and Linux.

The model I have is also tented and that’s where there’s a huge gain for me. The fact that I can position the two halves of my keyboard anywhere and that they’re tented relives a lot of stress in my wrists and elbow. I might not still be a developer without this tool. Whenever I travel with just a laptop I bring a Keyboardio Atreus. It’s not tented but it’s enough to help me get through short trips.

I am sure it is. However, the design uses very expensive custom boards to save a lot of weight. The build I was involved with used Odrives and that was enough to have issues. Pre-stretching the belts is also important.

If I had to guess I would suggest that, while 3D printing is a great enabling technology one of the issues it suffers from is that of tolerances. I'll preface this by saying I did not take any measurements at all on the parts as printed. If I did, I would not be surprised to discover issues that, in the aggregate, could lead to performance issues.

> This is why my company has custom applications that talk to the ERP for certain departments.

This is the best approach. Inventory is a great example of something that is both very important to an ERP and needs to be modeled impeccably if you want accurate costs (think license plate numbers tracked back to manufacturing), but at the same time you sure as hell don't want your ERP to be the "system of record" for operational systems.

The "BDS movement" is not an organization and does not have a sharp boundary, but insofar as it has something vaguely like a boundary, the vast majority of the people inside of it are not engaged in armed conflict against Israel, are not supporting armed conflict against Israel, and never have been.

Even if the majority of them were, the defining issue for BDS itself is not doing business with Israeli entities. Not doing business is not armed conflict. For you to have a point, they would have to somehow using the boycott itself to aid in shooting up the place. That doesn't even pass the laugh test.

It would have spared millions of innocent deaths if Jews had a country during WW2. So maybe it's not always that stupid. And in fact, taking a whiff at the current state of things for Jews in the diaspora, I still think Jews should have a place of their own. I am not forecasting another holocaust, hell no, but it sure becomes harder to be openly Jewish in the West.

>the cell is not just a bag of enzymes

There's more than just structural organization.

Nature does not see enzymes or molecules or protein receptors. Nature just sees "easiest." Withstand interaction. Interact. Use your own internals as a medium of interaction if surroundings allow. A correct quantum biology would model something that looks completely different than atoms and the bonds between them. Do you really need that? You have the weight on the scale. Whether it's a feather or a pebble you know it's not going to knock you down. Stop counting threads and put on the damn clothes. I have family who wants to walk again, yet alone talk and eat.

Please stop thinking mapping uncharted islands. Please start thinking new trails up a hill.
