Correction: according to your link, only 28% of Eth nodes are running on AWS (1579 of 5632 - click "Network Types").

However, many of these are not mining nodes that secure the network (and therefore security of the blockchain), but instead are nodes run by dApp/web3 developers to handle things like indexing NFTs and the current state inside a smart contract.[1] It is easy to spin up a geth node for a task like this—and by default mining is not enabled. I haven't seen any stats on the total number of mining nodes and their network types.

I agree that too much of the traffic is going through AWS, and I suspect all of these stats will need to be re-examined after the PoS Merge.

While I agree on the side-effect side of things, you really shouldn't use a classic for loop when forEach suffices.

forEach emphasizes you are operating on each element of the loop in a semi-independent fashion and you explicitly don't have access to any kind of intermediary index/iterator variable.

When you "drop down" to a classic for loop you're telling the reader that you need access to the index/iterator for some reason (and there are plenty of valid reasons for that).

If you only use classic for loops then the reader has to be constantly vigilant you're not doing any index/iterator shenanigans. It's just higher "cognitive load"

> GPS trackers are a lot pricier and often bulkier though

A quick look on Amazon UK suggests that there are plenty of cheaper options and, whilst not many, there are options of a similar size to the AirTags.

Now, admittedly, none of them have the same feature set as an AirTag but if you're at the point of buying GPS trackers to stalk someone, I doubt you're thinking about the technical distinctions.

Meh. They are just terrible. We once booked a hotel with a children's bed, which was advertised as an option on Booking.com . When we go there, no bed, and they could provide one. After much discussion, they allowed us to cancel the room and they would refund the 125 Euro.

Except the refund never came. So, we contacted booking.com and have been passed between support personnel for months. At some point they wanted months of our bank transcripts (which I rejected because of privacy issues, I don't trust such a company to securely handle/erase them). After five months, we just accepted the loss.

(Customer service can be good. E.g. recently Apple double charged Apple Care. I had someone on the phone within minutes and I got a personal contact within their financial department that I could message or leave voice mails for. They were very helpful in the whole process of getting the money back.)

More people died in hospitals after hospitals were invented. Doesn't mean that hospitals were killing people.

At least you should have it checked now (I assume that's what have been prescribe by your doctors).

Section 5:

“[Use of end to end encryption] shall not serve as an independent basis for liability of a provider […]” but the fact that you did so can now be used against you in court.

The spirit of this bill is to make WhatsApp liable from the moment they become aware of specific instances of child pornography being shared on their platform, and only then after they’ve been shown to be doing nothing to take it down. If they don’t do anything after they’ve verified those specific instances then they are liable.

What’s being implied by all the senators and the journalism around this is something like “everyone knows that in general these E2E platforms carry child porn, so in general they need to turn off E2E.”

The text of the bill doesn’t seem to be talking in generalities. It’s talking about specific criminal cases involving specific instances of abuse? Or maybe it anticipates some sort of action where the government is the plaintiff?

It’s all very confusing.

> Suddenly vaccinated people are dropping dead left and right

I'm curious how you would describe the amount of people who have died of COVID itself if that's how you describe this (unspecific and unsourced) vaccine death rate.
I've not seen anyone drop dead around me and everyone who I know had been vaccinated including myself and my entire family.

Have you got any news links which you could add to your comment which support the claim that healthy football players and young children have been dropping dead after taking the vaccine?
Not sure it is accurate to say Sweden did not lock down. Afaik they had some measures in place, and were counting on people to behave sensibly in other aspects. So even though there were perhaps less lockdown rules, most people might still have adjusted their behavior.
Noone is dictating you how to live your life. The recent EU privacy laws are about giving people a choice how there data is used. You are free to accept the cookies. You are even free to automate that via browser extensions. You are free to build websites in ways that don't require tracking user data and thus don't require consent. You are free to vote for politicans that are against privacy right or even campaign yourself.

But a fundamental issue with freedom is that sometimes freedoms conflict with each other. Here the freedom to do whatever you want conflicts with the right to privacy of others and the EU has decided that in this instance the right to privace takes precedence.

It would destroy the US tech sector. In Europe, no company would be permitted to store any data on any servers operated by a U.S. company. They might go further and require the company to have no association with the U.S. counterpart, if this Bill is sufficiently broad, which I believe it is. In other words, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, Apple, Amazon, etc. etc. would lose their entire European customer base.

Of course the wheels of the EU move slowly, and there aren't a lot of strong alternatives at present, so I don't expect this to cause a sudden crash. The decline will be slow but assured. I don't understand how the legal architects of this can be this naive. Or perhaps they just don't care.

I'm convinced this is a non-story. She didn't prove the existence of the alleged secret government organisation "Bundesservice Telekommunikation", but rather that the system to protect government organisations and their staff from possibly hazardous letters works as intended.

She claims that the fact that the letter she addressed to the allegedly not existing secret org was redirected to a government organisation in another city proves that the secret one exists.

But she conveniently doesn't mention that the org where the air tag letter ended up is specifically the authority which watches and investigates fringe groups like neo-nazis, terrorist sleeper cells, conspiracy cults, etc.

The idea that the redirection of the letter from Berlin (to Cologne) is of significance is quite ignorant as well. Because Germany isn't as centralised as for instance France or England, where almost all government organisations are in the capital. In Germany, they're all over the country.

Using Occam's razor, what happened here is clearly:

1. She sends an envelope containing an electronic device with a battery addressed to the "secret organisation" which only is rumoured to exist in fringe and conspiracy communities, which allegedly hides behind another, officially acknowledged organisation with a publicly known address. This is akin to someone sending a strange, possibly dangerous envelope to "Bill Gates 5G Vaccine Mind Control HQ, Whitehouse, Washington D.C."

2. She tracks the airtag and finds out that it has ended up not in Berlin at the alleged "public front" of the secret organisation in Berlin, but rather in Cologne at the "Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz", the org watching fringe groups.

3. The envelope was clearly scanned and flagged as a possible threat, e.g. a mail bomb / anthrax letter. Or simply a device containing a battery sent without the appropriate warning labels on the outside. The fact that she addressed to an alleged "secret organisation" only known in conspiracy circles probably triggered the redirection to the German authority which deals with such threats.

4. The envelope was processed in Cologne by specifically trained staff at special facilities at the organisation officially tasked with handling such things.

Hence my believe that this is a non-story - and it hasn't been picked up by any serious major news outlets in Germany, not even those famous for their investigative journalism. Of course this will be taken as "proof" by the conspiracy theorists as well.

Ok, but how much? And how does the cost compare against the impact of correctness errors?

That is pretty exciting. Some say life would be difficult because Proxima Centauri is a flare star, which has violent outbursts of radiation. Not more than the sun though, even if it is so much smaller. But the habitable zone would also be much closer to the star.

How to make OKRs into daily tasks?
Hey ! We're a young team building a tool to turn OKRs into daily tasks so you can finally make sure your big projects become reality.

How do you make sure you progress on big goals on a daily basis? Would love to hear your recos.

The approach we're taking is that projects happen across tons of app so we're building the tool that can spot any task you have across tools, and centralise it all on Kairn to help you prioritise and get things done.

Wanna test it? Just ping me :)
Interesting!

I’m Danish, like everyone of my fellows I had my 3 shots and a case of Omniwhatever. I’m 39 and in relatively decent shape, I can run 5km in 25 minutes and I do 20-30 minute of semi-cardio every day as I walk an 3km steep incline going home from work.

Post covid (two months now) I feel the burn so much faster. Completely anecdotal but it had my doctor worried enough that she send me to an EKG and for blood testing (which was normal) leave her with no answer other than “who knows”.
Oh I see it, classic off by z-index error.
The point is that it is misleading (or at least, premature) to say that myocarditis is more likely with the virus than with the vaccine, given that the context of this discussion is usually around young men and there is recent data that suggests the opposite for this cohort under Moderna (and perhaps Pfizer).

Also, what you say is not the case in every country. Many countries are jabbing young men with Moderna.
Optimistically, those unplanned outages are software errors, instead of data center management errors. There is an impact to your uptime by using AWS, but it's relative to having the same thing runing on not-AWS rather than an absolute value of uptime. The scope of what you can screw up is smaller

Same here but that was just the same with booking.com. Turns out it was the hotel that screwed up, not the booking site.
