And it would be extraordinary and pointless if the board members were all employees, it has a separate function of supervision and thus is usually mostly non-employees outside the CEOs chain of command.
Certainly something like that is possible, but I don’t think so given the way OP wrote about it. Especially lines this this: “the deploy tooling isn't entirely compatible”.

That doesn’t sound like a critical missing feature (which would somehow be cheap to add). It sounds like a fairly minor roadblock that he expected the other team to solve for him. My guess is that it’s one of those things that might take the other team a week and would take OP 2-3 weeks, so in a little start-up, the other team would obviously do it because it’s more efficient. But in a big corp, asking the other team to make the change is kind of like asking AWS to make the change. (Which could be the case if Amazon is the big corp in this story.)

It of course makes sense since `cat` is widely used for the purpose of the original code, just not in a subshell. It's used often to output blocks of text to stdout/err for multiline output, namely --help text.

strace doesn't lie here, and I've seen it substitute cat in trivial cases quite often.
I don't think that's a comprehensive list, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrannosaurus#Resurgent_intere... mentions that 42 skeletons have been found in western North America. I don't have the page number, but I also remember reading in Steve Brusatte's "The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs" that there are some areas where T. rex's were so common that you can find teeth relatively easily.

Agreed that findings this well preserved are incredibly rare and fortunate.
Apple is not even against other operating systems on Macs.

> I've been told in school that English has spelling rules.

Excluding a couple hundred irregularities, native speakers (and simple rule-based algorithms) can accurately predict the pronunciation of 85 - 90% of common words with most of the errors being minor issues about vowel reduction to schwa and stress placement.

For the incredulous, here's 56 table-based search-and-replace rules that get you to about 85%: https://www.zompist.com/spell.html

Various other authors have their own slight variations on this, but typically it comes to 40 - 70 algorithmically-applicable rules. I wish more students got taught some variation on spelling rules like that, because they're much closer to the real rules of English spelling. It's only slightly worse than French, who we ripped off most of the modern orthography from. (Such table-based rules for French get above 95% pretty easily.) The thing is that, in both languages, this is a decidedly one-way process. Guessing how something is spelled from the sound is hopeless.

I've wanted to do a similar thing, but I wonder: don't you end up sitting too far from the screen, so that the perceived text size is smaller than on the regular 24" screens?

I have a 32" screen and if I sit as close to it as a 24", the sides don't look so great any more because of the angle. So I have to push it back, but then I have to increase the text. While with two screens, you can set the second one at an angle, which alleviates this problem. I expect the curved screens to do the same, though I've never tried one.
Given the constant commodization of data science, I wonder how long it will take till there is a dating app that really knows you well, while keeping privacy in tact. And matches people with the goal to actually match properly.

Tinder, and every dating app I know out there, is directly incentivized to _not_ match properly, but rather to keep you on the app as long as possible.
As long as the bottom line is directly influenced by the amount of unmatched users, the dating app will not work with you, but rather against you.
It's not really an accident, Apple strongly dislikes AAA games (note: not AA games like fortnite or .. "games" like candy crush). If they support any kind of game development it's purely indie or puzzle style in nature and not high fidelity.

The reasons are.. well incalculable, there are so many:

To be competitive you must work closely with driver manufacturers; you would likely need to segment your desktop class hardware platforms based on what games they can play, you might bef forced to update hardware on a significantly shorter cadence- probably support for third party upgrades (like graphics cards). Also, Apple strongly dislikes nvidia who have a stranglehold on AAA games. (ever since they sold them a bunch of cards that desoldered themselves)

Apple wants to be a computing platform, and for "creatives". That's the image they're going for.

They can't win on gaming, even if they wanted to, but it's against the brand image to go for that market anyway.

You can't really do AAA gaming on a mac, and that's ok, not everything has to be about playing games.
A valve can refer to a vacuum tube or it can refer to a diode, which can be made from all manner of stuff such as razor blades, crystals, rocks. It's called a valve because of its rectifying behavior allowing current through in only one direction, this is also the reason for the diode's electronic diagram icon ---|>|---
This is the correct answer. Rotate idents. Use a phone emulator if there is a hardware ban. Occasionally a VOIP phone number might work for account authentication, occasionally not though.

But people really forget that is an option to just walk to the nearest phone store and come out with a $20 sim for the month. Useful for way more than just trying to hook up on a dating app you got banned on.
OK, appreciate the reply.

Hope you don't mind an observation --- your motivation seems based on ideology as much as if not more so than practicality.

Good luck with the project.
Agreed. Coming next year.
I find it’s a lot less interesting to consider the mapping of DNA to code or blueprints, instead considering the process of evolution as a way of dealing with a legacy code base. This code is functional (just barely) but it’s fragile. Lots of cross-dependencies, much misuse of functions (with side-effects!), and no real way to do static analysis on the code base to figure out how it works.

The problem is, there’s always new requirements coming in! So how would you design this software so that it is robust to changes and doesn’t require a complete rewrite to add new functionality.

The superpower of this codebase is in composability of code, with loosely defined interfaces. In this way, all parts of the system can be incrementally improved without breaking existing functionality.
> Chromes dominance is not going to be changed outside of government action.

This is because business tactics rather than technical or product ones are the reason for their domination.

While I love technologies, it's so important to focus on the things outside of the tech itself at times.
This comment doesn't say anything about heroku?
It just echoes a Bell character to your terminal. Make sure your terminal emulator supports it, and is configured properly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_character
That’s true for this failure but the prior two for AWS were region wide and the one for GCP last month was global.
Tesla has a forward looking 12mo P/E of only 100 just with its current operation selling 1 million vehicles per year. It's growth rate is 50%+ per year, by 2030 it should be selling 15-20 million vehicles per year. Tesla can justify it's current valuation solely with its automotive business, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Other areas of growth and profit that will likely outperform the auto business:

- Energy Storage and Distribution (including Solar Roofs)

- Full Self Driving, Robotaxis

- AI as a service

- Insurance

- Charging Network: Access Fees / Restaurants / Convenience Goods

Like I said, put your money where your mouth is if you're so sure the author is correct here.
I don't really see your point. My original comment was more pointing out that the operators, if not Amazon, could be seen as infringing their rights. They should update their legalese if they want to be truly protected. How is that defending Amazon?

Regardless of your pointed comment, I'm operating in the land of legal objectivity. The law doesn't care about your feelings much.
The issue is that a lot of people even today are biblical literalists and they look to the holy books for justification for whatever beliefs they hold in the first place. So you can absorb "love thy neighbor" if that's what you're looking for, but you can also absorb "hate the foreigner" if that's more your inclination. Also, the universe is 6000 years old and don't eat shellfish.
Sure, and yet your comment alone contains more substance on the topic than the entire article.

The thing for me is keeping his money. If he signed up, and for whatever reason they decided they didn't want his business so they gave him a refund, I wouldn't love it but it wouldn't upset me much either.

But they can't decide they want the money but don't want to provide a service. I'm surprised to see comments defending this.
I've built out many 42U racks in DC's in my time and there were a couple of rules that we never skipped:

1. Dual power in each server/device - One PSU was powered by one outlet, the other PSU by a different one with a different source meaning that we can lose a single power supply/circuit and nothing happens
2. Dual network (at minimum) - For the same reasons as above since the switches didn't always have dual power in them.

I've only had a DC fail once when the engineer was performing work on the power circuitry for the DC and thought he was taking down one, but was in fact the wrong one and took both power circuits down at the same time.

However, a power cut (in the traditional sense where the supplier has a failure so nothing comes in over the wire) should have literally zero effect!

What am I missing?

I've never worked anywhere with Amazon's budget so why are they not handling this? Is it more than just the imcoming supply being down?
Log4fix
I mean it has to be play with words or tongue in cheek simply b/c the assumption of a fail-safe system failing is already contradictory. So you cannot say anything smart about that beyond - there are no fail-safe systems that fail.
AWS doesn't follow their own advice about hosting multi-regional so every time us-east-1 has significant issues pretty much every AZ and region is affected.

Specifically large parts of the management API, and IAM service are seemingly centrally hosted in us-east-1. So called Global endpoints are also dependent on us-east-1 and parts of AWS' internal event queues (eg. event bridge triggers)

If your infrastructure is static you'll largely avoid the fallout, but if you rely on API calls or dynamically created resources you can get caught in the blast regardless of region

> That’s crazy talk. European countries have virtually vaccinated their whole adult population with a number of deaths linked to the vaccine so low it’s negligible.

Yes, it's quite low. But so is the number of covid fatalities for young people, which is why many healthy young adults aren't enthusiastic about being forced to vaccinate themselves and their kids.

It would not surprise me to learn, once final, honest numbers are tallied up, that the vaccination caused as many negative outcomes as covid itself in the under 30 crowd.

That being said, neither number is probably significant.
I love how this thread is full of startup lovers complaining about how big companies don't just spend all day scrambling to do whatever the nearest tech lead mentioned at lunch.

Meanwhile, these same people are complaining about how AWS has a minor outage in one region that is preventing them from getting their work done or hurting their business.

Take a moment to reflect.

> Not at this rate.

Source? Has there ever been an industry wide survey that compares availability from "insert average colo/data center operations" with the cloud ones?

> Esperanto would be like Haskell: beautifully pure and regular

It might be, mostly, regular. But it is hardly beautifully pure, it is almost as mongrel as any other European language.

And of course now that there are quite a few speakers it is importing words even though native Esperanto style words could easily be created.
This feels very "yadda yadda yadda" to me.

Amazon has taken down trivial things before. This is a dangerous assumption to make - "it's not important to them so I shouldn't worry about the law". Those are famous last words.
> but a few days ago I came to a new country

That one is the key. Likely some analytics service (Facebook?) has his phone associated with country A (his country of origin), and Tinder sees the registration coming in from country B (new country). That mismatch then triggered some anti-fraud signalling.
Please describe which aspects are unfounded and provide evidence to the contrary
It has always been like that on Tinder. My phone number can't create a new account for example (never receive the confirmation code). That's called shadowban in the case of OP. Bumble started doing the same practices a year ago (which makes sense as they have the same founder)

But they are not 100% wrong, Tinder is not here to make people meet each other. They are here to make money and people don't pay because they get more matches, they pay because they are frustrated. Tinder needs a way to keep girls active on the platform, and for that to works they have to prevent boys to have a negative behavior. That's why they shadowban guys easily, as soon as they detect non standard behavior they shadowban, people keep seeing profile and keep paying. Girls don't see those profiles and have a better experience overall and stays longer, which makes guys stays longer because FOMO of matching the one.

This has nothing to do with Big tech. If you want to meet people don't use Tinder, that used to work well in the past, it very rarely works now.

EDIT: And FYI if you want to exit shadowban on Tinder, it is pretty well documented on r/SwipeHelper, you need to change: phone, phone number, Facebook account, Credit card, pictures and don't login from the same IP
And this is what makes me crazy about Epic: Unreal is their engine, they've said in the past that they "love Linux", and yet they don't port their games to Linux.
Without trying to be snarky, in my opinion that's a rather naive view of the Bible, in particular. The book forms a coherent whole with vast layers of meaning, story, interpretation and self-reference.

Unfortunately the biblical literalists of some evangelical movements don't do it justice, and they get considerably more airtime than the people who take longer to explain things.
I worked at Cisco, and the same arguments were made to use only WebEx and associated apps.
This is presented as a problem with "big tech", but I don't think most people would consider Tinder (Match Group) to be big tech? Instead, this kind of problem where you get flagged with no explanation or recourse seems to be common to consumer tech of all but the smallest scale. It's just very expensive to provide high quality individual support.
Check declining rate of hospitalization vs. Cases in Denmark, US, UK and Canada.

It's not just south Africa anymore.

You continually mentioned community, and seemed to portray yourself as an operator that refused to update to V3 to maintain your V2 community. I tried to empathize with that. My bad.

The 'friends along the way' was a cheeky comment referring to the communities you mentioned here and in other comments several times. It is certainly not the opposite of what you argued -- you are arguing for community and interoperability, and argued that Tor should maintain the insecure version for that interoperability.

To wit, you said "What I want, what everyone in the tor project comment thread on the depreciation post wants, is for v2+v3.".

This is equal to "Maintain the insecure version, do not deprecate it, because the community wants it".

We're obviously of two separate minds here. I didn't mean to step on toes or seem disingenuous. Just frustrated when I see people complain about necessary security upgrades, which were known over a year in advance, in a security product.
You're assuming a level of good faith in crypto bros that frankly doesn't exist. They aren't interested in any criticism of bitcoin and the like, they personally stand to make money from it and you are just their next potential victim.
It's a really sad age we live in when acting responsibly and aiming for maximum preparedness is met with cynicism and conspiracy, not to mention this is SOP for most companies with critical IT infrastructure.

So we should be weary about any company that runs disaster recovery exercises? We just saw another AWS outage take many significant services offline a couple weeks ago.
It is amazing how they could capture such a large audience. Also amazing is that it keeps many hooked for so long. It is quite a passive way to consume content but maybe that makes it popular in the first place.

What an absolutely pointless comment.

Everything fails, we can argue the rate. But I would argue that understanding your constraints is better.

if you know that your secret storage system can't survive if a machine goes away: well, you wire redundant paths to the hardware and do memory mirroring and RAID the hell out of the disks. And if it fails you have a standby in place.

But if you use AWS Cognito.

And it goes down.

You're fucked mate.
Not quite that simple depending on the country and city. Even more with the pandemic, Tinder might be one's only way of meeting potential partners.
This is the paradigm of any system, period. If you work correctly for the most part, the minority which you create negative value for can be offset and establish that system as viable.

This is true for brick and morter/mom and pop businesses. It's true for computer programs. Basically any system. It is not an indicator for a monopoly.
You can also keep the unit online, but only pass it the 802.1x frames. You'll be out pennies of electricity, of course.

My 2¢; OP should do a charge-back. If anything bots don't do chargebacks.

While you have no recourse in free services, you do when you pay with a credit card. Likewise the CC will still charge Tinder the processing fee of 1%-3%, so every chargeback is not only revenue lost but also a cost.

Unfortunately all that advice is void if OP used a debit card.
