Sure, but you're being quite disingenuous with your post by suggesting that tax rates were any different back then compared to now.
No, I was not a savage. And you're not a savage. You're right, the world will act the way they're treated. I try to act kindly when possible. What's wrong with beering the homeless kids? But I don't think much of them.

This ain't about me being "good". It's about my right to exist and work and live whether some 18 year old is having a bad family life or not. It's about handling their problems, as I have had to handle my own. Funny. Sympathy only flows in one direction - towards the generation who were born of the richest fattest bulge of neocon shitheads in imperial american history. Who shit on my porch in the name of equity and social justice, literally, waving ipads.

You lost me at Ukraine. I don't see how that relates to this. But FWIW, you think it's gross that I explained both sides of my attempt to understand and my underlying dislike of the people outside my door? Cool, I'm not trying to be your friend. I'm explaining how I've chosen to deal with a world of spoiled shit spawn of boomers. Bit of carrot and stick.

[edit] also? >>they hate it because it is history now. They still love war

...is incredibly ignorant. We hated it because it was WRONG, the way Russians who protest now know that their war is wrong. This is recent and important history. The war just ended. It was the longest war in US history. It's a very good thing that people hated it. Because above all it happened for completely artificial reasons. Yes, this means you might have to admit that some wars are more artificial than others, but that one, for those of us who watched in horror when it started, was completely unjustified. So go ahead and shit on the people who were out in the streets protesting. You clearly know better.
How have they owned up? They pause and resume NS 2 multiple times and everything continues as usual. Hard to believe before we see real life next steps.

'The scandal'?

They've had a whole series of scandals, it is one of the worst employers in Europe and some of the stuff they do is just incredible. Some of them are more pressworthy than others but Lidl never really stopped.

> I think they'll have a hard time finding people to staff that, Lidl has a long history of underpaying and abusing their personnel

I don't know about the personnel abuse, but here in the UK Lidl employees are one of the better paid employees as far as groceries stores go.

EDIT: maybe I was thinking of Aldi, who, after a quick search, seems to pay significantly more than Lidl.

If Russia wasn't a dictatorship, it'd be normal to be reliant on your neighbors, as this usually helps with keeping peace. It doesn't work when the neighbor in question has no intention of remaining peaceful.
That's a good reason, still need people to pay for scarce resources, just a shame that there's no mechanism to pick up where you left off.

Markets exist between residential and large enterprise. I kind of doubt they would manufacture and sell their ISP lines if they had no customers.

Plus, this is why they're suing Krebs. People like you have this opinion and don't really know why. Sharp's strategy was effective.
It isn't just the lobbyists, certain ideologically anti-tax politicians desperately want their constituents to think of taxes as a Great Evil perpetrated upon them so they can present themselves as the solution. Making the process as much of a pain in the ass as they can is part of their reelection strategy.
I love being back. The office is quite empty, but after two years of not being around 500 people every day I think it would be overwhelming to all be back together in one instant. I'm happy to be in that first wave of those returning. It's not just the office, it's the area I work in. I work downtown, I've forgotten how much I missed all of my favorite cafes, coffee shops, casual lunch places. They remember me too, it really made my day when one of my favorite lunch places recognized me and we had a great chat for 10 minutes. I'd forgotten how much of that life is missed. I live alone, I'm a fairly solitary person, I don't get out much. I always said work from home would suit me as long as I still did a few things in the week (go to a bar once a week, have lunch out a couple of times) but I didn't do any of these things, my friends have become hermits and we hardly see each other even at weekends. The last two years have been hell frankly. I've come to realise my work is my social life. Call that if you like but it's the reality and I actually enjoy spending time with people that share interests with me. Since I've been back in the office I've been to a bar and had a nice relaxing conversation over a beer for the first time in 2 years. Not all of us are lucky enough to have that opportunity to have amazing social lives away from work. I wouldn't go back to working from home if you doubled my salary.
It’s a level of friction that discourages the worst behaviors.

You probably lock the front door of your house. The reality is, it’s not a meaningful thing in most cases, as a moderately in shape middle aged man, I could likely kick or pry it in in seconds.

We do it because it keeps honest people out and increases the friction for the bad guys - kicking the door down in itself becomes a felony. (Burglary)

Likewise, people are on a bell curve of sorts with respect to motivation. The people on the bottom are a waste of oxygen and require explicit directions for every task, and the other extreme are self-motivated and will create novel tasks to complete without any direction.

Some people need the office to function appropriately on that curve. I have one guy on my team who came to work physically every day during the full lockdowns in NYC because for him, the context shift of being in the office was important. He is probably the smartest person I’ve ever met, but he can’t work at home. Another colleague is living on an island somewhere.

The rest of us are in the middle. Combine that with other business requirements, and you have to make a decision that’s best for the business.

The thing about MDMA is that it causes your brain to dump your serotonin reserves into your brain all at once. Doing that too often, without letting your serotonin rebuild, can cause serotonin syndrome.

I think psychedelics are safer in that regard. Nobody in the history of humanity has ever physically done "too much acid". Even some people who ingested tens of thousands of micrograms (thinking they were snorting coke) came out of it perfectly fine with appropriate care (since the amount was so high compared to the usual dosages, they did need medical care).
The following is my personal experience (so I can't comment on the general nature of blog comments).

I have a "strictly technical" SWE blog with approximately 4k to 8k users per month, which I have been maintaining it for 3/4 years.

I use Disqus for comments. I virtually have no spam (if I had some, it's been so little that I don't remember it). The comments are generally good quality (some even improved the articles), possibly due to the nature of the blog, but they're few.

If spamming and low quality comments are due to open comment systems, I'd still stick with a closed system like Disqus, as I prefer fewer but more motivated comments.

On a funny note, it took me a while to find out that Disqus introduced taboola ads at some point, because I use ad blockers. The moment I found out, I was so horrified that I thought somebody hacked the blog and panicked; it took me a bit to figure out what actually happened :)
For me it is just like when I was 10 I had a pocket knife.

As a 10 yo I did not have much real stuff to do with a pocket knife, but it was cool.

Well as a 15yo I thought computers are cool and I was into computers - but still I did not have real stuff to do with those. Just gaming, configuring different linux distros for fun.

Now I am adult and I own knifes, but I don't care much about these. I need to chop a chicken or cut a piece of rope I get the knife but I am not collecting them or holding in my drawer in "special place".

The same with computers, nowadays I use them as tools and they are not meant to be fun. I have my work to do and I am done. Well I still do quite some web browsing and media consumption unlike author, but it is not like I am going to build a PC from scratch and install some distro of the month on it just to see if I can make it work, because I have real stuff to do.

OK sometimes I get raspberry PI from the drawer to see if I can install some new raspian or rasbberry os on it.

That's interesting! Yes we don't use geo-coords for privacy so it is based on the common name of the nearest town or city, but it's clearly misunderstood here and something went wrong. It might be better to switch to using the browser timezone for this, as that's a predictable string if available.

Botspam killed blog comments, same way it killed discussion boards. Even if it's not link spam, the bots are using comment fields for C&C for botnets.

Besides that, I think there is a point in removing comments and interactivity in general. They hardly ever invite any interesting discussion. Comments are generally impersonal and low effort and invite a lot of shitty behavior.

If you have something substantive to say, respond in a blog post of your own.

If you have something personal to say, send an email. This is scary and intimate, but also permits you to actually talk to a person without the performative aspect of doing it in public.
Here in the UK, most new builds come with 10 years of buildings insurance. That's good, because I've heard horror stories about the quality of new builds.

I imagine the insurance premiums are quite high, to guard against such 'fly by night' operations.
I had one the most popular blogs in the hispanic sphere. I had to shutdown comments due, most of the blog posts had 0 participation, and I discovered discussion moved to other platforms, more suitable for discussion and free from the censorship of every blog author.

I also shutdown comments due lack of value, spam.
I wonder how secure AWS really is. Most people need some VPCs, some VMs, maybe k8s and a database all with global redundancy. Skills and training is almost the biggest barrier but with Terraform and/or some standardized APIs I'd think most mid level firms could switch in a month or two.
So, that's what Schwarz IT has been so actively recruiting for. I got contacted 3+ time, however each time it was a rather low tech position, right under some technically illiterate MBA chap, so I did not even bother submitting a resume.

I have serious doubt they would be able to mount a serious challenge to AWS. These German companies - DB, DHL, SAP just don't have cultures meritocratic enough to be competitive with the new boys. Not everything in the world is a post office or a rebar manufacture line.

They already had all the problems listed before the security debacle. The only thing added is that now everyone knows their "cloud" is of very poor quality and has no real security.

So now, suing a journalist is going to fix their reputation? Good luck with that, there's around zero chance of that happening. The way to fix their reputation would be to consolidate product lines, do QA and not ship broken software, and stuff like this. Admit mistakes were made, and outline their strategy on fixing them ( the parts about abandoning hardware lines and security). Digging in won't do them any favours.

Yes. If I remember right Schwarz Group doesn't use AWS because they don't want to give money and data to a big competitor, but that doesn't make their hosting setup an "AWS competitor". And as far as I can see the site also doesn't claim anything like that, so this is a clear case of "don't editorizalize titles!"

This was a really good answer but I also don't think it invalidates the GP's point. There was a particular set-up at a particular time that meant that pop music was going to go very big and that explains more of The Beatles phenomenal success than your very interesting points do. Your answer explains some of how The Beatles became more than the average pop group but they still ("She loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah") started off as just a (boy band) pop group.
They are highly demanded[1], companies are just extremely stubborn and are trying to force employees to accept their terms.

You could see that the past year and a half in restaurants that are willing to close down entirely (often with a sign saying they're short staffed) for days, weeks, or permanently, rather than raise their wages enough to hire and keep the employees they need to function.

[1]: "Newly published research from the Pew Research Center that surveyed roughly 10,000 Americans from Jan. 24 to Jan. 30 found that nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, roughly 6 in 10 U.S. workers who say their jobs can be done from home, at 59 percent, are doing so from home all or most of the time. Now, more workers say they are working from home out of choice than necessity.

Among those who have a workplace outside of their home, 61 percent said they are choosing not to go in, while 38 percent said they’re working from home specifically because their workplace is closed or unavailable to them.

Interestingly, Pew Research noted just the opposite was true earlier in the pandemic, with 64 percent of people indicating they were working from home because their office was closed while 36 percent said they were choosing to work from home."

There is a major difference between how they treat 'corporate' employees vs how they treat store workers.
Really? This is contrary to what I've heard from friends who've worked at Lidl. Admittedly my sample size is just 3 and all local to Finland, but over here Lidl seems to be regarded as a good employer, and when you factor in the various bonuses, they pay well above market rate.
I love how we will blame anything besides admitting we stuff our holes too often, know it, and still don't stop doing it. Excessive food, especially sugar, is the biggest undercurrent in harmful substances in our modern age and hardly anybody wants to do anything about it.
Well you have a kubernetes cluser + various dbs and message brokers. This is what 99% of clients actually use in AWS. It makes sense that exactly this is part of the minimum viable product.
The two problems are closely connected. If one were to audit the elite where I went, one would find many scandals like this, albeit more cleverly disguised and perhaps legal. Good questions to ask:

- How many state school faculty come from elites?

- Why do we structure education as an elitist competition for a brand stamp? Why should someone have an advantage in life by having "Yale" stamped on their CV?

Many countries have roughly equal funding to all school, and similar admissions standards. Universities are nice in that as a freshman, you can take a freshman course or a grad-level course. What's the upside of sorting kids by background and sending them to different universities?

All schools also strive to move up US News and be like Harvard/Yale. If Yale jumps off a bridge, the state schools WILL almost always follow. The impact of what happens at the elites is disproportional.

> moving is not necessarily motivated by political preferences.

"I'm moving to A because my kids can go to school there without incurring heavy debt" is influenced by politics even if it's not explicitly acknowledged. Or even if the person doesn't think it's influenced by politics.

> Some people accept a political downgrade when they move.

Yes, they do. Because the reasons may be [1] "I don't want my kids to be subjected to gay propaganda, I'm going back to the country that upholds traditional values", and this is again is influenced by politics even if it's not explicitly stated and the person doesn't understand that.

[1] I know of some people who moved back to Russia for this stated reason.

I can confirm this with what I've experienced. I've blogged since around 2003(ish?) and around 5 years ago I decided that it's just not worth the hazzle.

If your goal is to provide a safe discussion space, it's way too much maintenance work for a non-financially-driven and no-clickbait blog.

The bad people of 4chan were always commenting from time to time in waves, but last year kind of made me realize that I probably will never feature comments ever again on any website I'm building.

Your life as a blog author is just way better living in blissful ignorance than reading so much hate before you delete it anyways :) 4chan and other imageboards infiltrate your thoughts through hate, and I just don't have time for that and don't want to waste my time thinking about trolls.
No. Because:

1) AWS has very serious regulatory capture in Europe - e.g. for banking, government, possibly else it is the only one approved solution.

2) Those pension-fund owned German enterprises are legendary bad at IT. The best way you could describe the culture there is anti-agile & anti-meritocratic.

That's catchy. But:
