Needing to get info on command line flags is not only such a common thing but also a kind of recursive problem (you can't find out what flag to pass without being able to invoke the help text in the first place) that I'd argue it's the most valuable possible recipient of a single letter mnemonic. Having a universal and short way to print out the list of options seems way more beneficial than something like human-readables sizes, which only even makes sense for a certain subset of command line tools (what would it mean to invoke `python` or `docker` with a request for "human-readable sizes?).
While I agree with you on the guesstimate, surely you can't exactly know the number of steps in question.

This is great news. One limitation with Lets Encrypt is their rate limits are a bit low for Review Apps - you can’t issue more than 50 certs a week under a given domain.

So if you’re spinning up tens or hundreds of review apps per day, you can’t get a fresh cert for each, and so you need to do something different than your production environment does. (A wildcard cert is the obvious choice.)

I hope this offering has a high enough quota that you can get enough certs to do review apps properly; the marginal cost to Google per customer is probably negligible, whereas LetsEncrypt doesn’t have other revenue generating offerings they can use to cover their operating costs.
It's a good thing, not a bad thing, that they have a separate line item on their balance sheet for funds held for customers. It means that they are not aggregating customer funds with the company's own cash.

Also, there is a precisely equal line item on the liabilities side showing "customer fund deposits". This is exactly what you would want to see if they were accounting for things properly.

This is not an attempt by the company to misappropriate customer funds. Bill.com is a money transmitter, and as such they are obligated to hold their customer funds in trust. This is one of the things that the state banking regulators that regulate money transmitters look at closely when they conduct periodic on-site examinations. If they tried to misappropriate customer funds, it would be detected within the year and they would be shut down.

Bill.com isn't acting as a bank here, but is instead switching over to a standard practice followed by money transmitters such as PayPal and Cashapp, etc., which is to maintain customer funds in their own trust accounts on their own balance sheets, and only forward those funds onwards to third-party banks when explicitly requested to do so by their customers.

Why would Bill.com do this? It's because interest rates are going up, and 3% annual interest on $3.3 billion is $100 million. If they can hold this money on their own balance sheet (and most likely invest it in US treasuries), then they can improve their profitability. By forwarding cash immediately to third-party banks, they had previously been leaving a lot of money on the table.

For what its worth, money transmitter regulations do place restrictions on how entities are permitted to invest customer funds held in trust. They can keep that money in bank accounts, but they can also invest those funds in US treasuries; the permitted investments are explicitly enumerated in the regulations. Again, this is one of the things that banking regulators look at closely when examining companies like this.

Is it a good thing that Bill.com did this, from their customers' perspective? Probably not. To the extent that their customers' might have earned interest on these funds had they been deposited into their bank accounts sooner, Bill.com is depriving their customers of interest income. As the company's email admits, customers should have been informed of this change well in advance of when it was to occur, to be given the chance to switch providers if they didn't like the new terms.

That being said, no one here is stealing anybody's money, and most likely no laws are being broken (unless they broke the law by delaying notification).
What if they have backups of the data, but not the specifics of users' sites?

Lyon - Lille flight on the other hand for tomorrow is 147 euros (cheap price compared to other days it seems). The flight takes a little bit over an hour, getting to Lyon airport from the city takes about an hour as well (18.20€ with public transport, 50+ with taxi/ride hailing). On the landing end transport to city is luckily cheaper and faster, 45 minutes with public transport, 15 mins and ~20€ with a taxi.

> Successful governments should be responsible for running sequestrators on tax funding.

“Sequestrators” don’t exist. There is some noise every now and then about a fancy new technology, and it gets accepted in pop science media as something that works, but we don’t really have anything practical. Besides, this would be a terrible idea, because it means we lower the cost of operations for the industry, generating profits for their private owners, whilst straining public budgets already stretched thin. This would need a radical change of how most governments operate.
I bet there is a good bit of mandatory service. You cant just periodically cut off a few thousand from their job here and there just because it satisfies investors.

Attacking him for going on Tucker Carlson is a typical bad faith smear used against him and many others. CNN and MSNBC won't have him on despite him being willing to interview. Why must people only go on shows that are on "their side"? That's propaganda, not journalism.

Every journalist has a particular topic and audience that they focus on. His topic and audience is around waking up left wingers to the bad behavior of the "their own side". This topic is almost completely unaddressed amongst the left. To attack the right would be singing to the choir, and also be part of the choir, because 99% of the rest of left wing media already focus all their effort on "the other side". Do you not think it's a waste of time to convince the left that trump and fox are bad?

The fact is that most media are just cheerleaders for team red or team blue. Glenn is not a cheerleader, and thus not an establishment mouthpiece, and so he gets smeared by people like you.
It took me a second to realize that this option was supposed to comprise of both the words "help" and "full". At first I was wondering if "helpfull" was a British spelling of "helpful" that I had somehow never come across below.
It's more complicated than that. The Church didn't so much "attack" it, as not accept it as a proven fact, and not allow it to be presented as such. They favoured the mathematically equivalent model of Tycho Brahe (which is just a coordinate change from the Copernicus model, unlike earlier geocentric models). They did allow heliocentrism to be presented as an unproven hypothesis.

The heliocentrism model was only proven by the successive efforts of Kepler and Newton. Kepler made it more accurate by formulating his laws of motion (which allow for an elliptical motion and eliminate the last need for epicycles), and Newton showed how Kepler's laws of motion could be derived from F = GMm/d^2. Kepler was a contemporary of Galileo, and Newton came later.

Regarding the treatment of Galileo, Galileo was on very good terms with the Roman Church until he openly insulted geocentrism proponents in a book, and presented the heliocentrism theory as a proven fact. The book is also notable for presenting an incorrect theory of tides, not giving credit to his contemporaries, omitting the more accurate and profound theory of Kepler, and attacking a strawman that nobody was defending (in the sense that the favoured model of the time was Brahe's, and not the complicated epicycles model that Galileo was attacking).

Building and maintaining one runway at point A and one at point B is obviously much easier than building and maintaining a railroad between them.

I agree that it’s important for your own side to call out bad faith communication as much as possible. Scrutiny of your own sides arguments helps improve your position and intellectual honesty.

That being said, what is ideal in theory, breaks down in practice.

Feel free to take this with a grain of salt, my experience has been that when one person calls out another on their side for bad faith communication, a weird popularity contest happens.

As others have said about “feeling like a traitor”, the person who is called out feels metaphorically “stabbed in the back” by someone they now perceive as a “turncoat”. The ensuing popularity battle is used to discredit the position of the person who called out the bad faith communication. I’ve seen it many times, it’s both predictable and bizarre. Watching folks alienate their closest friends and advocates to protect a perceived attack on their ego is wild.
I like Snider but I think he's wrong in regards to monetary inflation. QE has lowered down the interest rates for so long that it has moved investors away from long term real investments like oil or natural gas towards short-term investments like tech. And that's what's created inflation in the end: not enough investment in oil/natural gas/resources.

Just look at the supply chain crunch, sometimes it's actually harder to buy components in bulk and you end up dual sourcing chips just to meet demand.

Trains are more efficient, but flights only do the most traveled routes generally, which is why they're usually booked out afaik. The same can't be said about trains usually, as they're also doing the outlying routes

It makes flying seem more competitive then it actually is, as trains usually aren't booked relative how much your transportation cost and instead the overall cost to also enable these almost empty routine runs

A problem is that one has limited time and energy to respond to these comments, though the idea you've mentioned has motivated responses I've made in the past. It can be draining to submit a well-sourced comment written respectfully, then get downvoted (this is more prevalent on Reddit) where fewer people see it.

I've resolved to avoid responses, unless it's a subject where I have an especially valuable perspective (e.g. personal expertise, I have a passage from a credible book that could be relevant, or I have a highly relevant anecdote to share).

It's almost always not worth it to get involved in a controversial topic discussion (examples include journalism, Apple products, urban planning and whether the ending of a popular television series was good or not). It can be distracting and draining, especially if people respond negatively or you get downvoted (I tell myself it's just internet points, but it feels punishing despite my rational thoughts), and I'm unlikely to change minds. There's more to life that's more rewarding (e.g. reading a book, physical exercise, even playing a relaxing video game for a few minutes).
One major problem with Google’s L7 load balancers is that the config changes take 5-20 mins to take effect. So google trying to set up an ACME challenge on a LB, solving it, and setting the managed TLS cert on it can take non-negligible time (15-30 mins?). I hope this gets fixed someday.

There is simply no choice because the political elites offered us this and we need to vote our guy not to let the other guy win.

This one? I have. NATO is clearly singled out as the red line which triggered the invasion. He says a lot of other stuff including references to historic events, but those weren't the trigger for the 2022 invasion. I don't see how they could be called a pretense for it when he said the red line was something different.

I suspect one reason is that with trains there's a huge amount of infrastructure to maintain - the tracks between destinations, but with planes you don't have that.

Got nerd-sniped hard by this. The basic question is simple; given a random person in the population, what are the values of x and y such that the chance that they will give a wrongful vote are 2/3? Obviously, we can see that y = ((2/3) - x)/(1 - x). A simple enough graph shows that the racist population would have to be surprisingly high to fulfill that condition; even a 20% die-hard "convict on race" population would still require the other 80% of people to similarly erroneously convict almost 60% of the time.

It becomes more interesting when we consider juries. Juries, as far as I know (not being American), require unanimous agreement to convict. A jury consists of 6-12 people. To find out if a jury will convict, we have to find the probability of every single person in that jury wrongfully convicting. The formula now is y = ((2/3)^(1/{6|12}) - x)/(1 - x). At this point, either x or y have to be very high for 2/3 of wrongful convictions to be black. Even when x = 66%, y still has to be above 80% for the 6-member jury to convict wrongfully that many times. This is, of course, assuming this is a perfectly mathematical scenario and we aren't dealing with real humans who will vote to convict because everyone else is doing so.

The error, then, is probably more due to humans being likely to fold their convictions under peer pressure than merely a high percentage of them being rabidly racist. If people adamantly voted their conscience in juries, and refused to be swayed by the deliberation of their fellow jurors, we would have many more hung juries and many fewer convictions.

Thanks—this is a great video. I was half expecting to be rick rolled but was pleasantly surprised to see this entertaining explanation from Chamath instead.
I can only speak for Germany, but Social media here still is much, much less widely adopted than in the US, because sharing one's life with strangers is culturally not as well regarded as it is in the US. This also applied before social media - telling one's life story to strangers was just not done.
Now, this is changing for younger generations, but even they are still not nearly as willing to share as their American counterparts.

It may just be a matter of time but here the Q-Anons and other divisive, Anti-Democratic groups are still more fringe than over there
Agreed! It has taken me so much time to get accustomed to Finder.
Often it is just the command line and then `open <path>`if finder is needed.

There are some shortcuts to make Finder usage more enjoyable:

- Shift+Command+H go to Home

- Command+Up go to parent folder

- Command+Down go in to selected folder

- Shift+Command+G go to written path

Also Option+Command+P toggles "Path Bar" at the bottom of the window
But also, American kids dont do that badly in international tests. They are not the very bestest best. But everytime there is debate about how bad American schools are, I check the stats and ... they are fairly normal on average for democratic world. The only unique thing is American expectation that they should be totally first in everything and anything less then that is failure.

> Look at how horrible people eat in America. You'd expect the best country in the world to have a little bit more education when it comes to their bodies and the filth (food, pollution, information) they put into them.

America is the leader of the world in talking about food constantly. Obsessing about it. Going to extreme with diets and making up ones again and again. America does not need more of that. It maybe needs to stop assuming it is and must be "best country in the world" in everything and be willing to learn from elsewhere.
And yet… now I am deeply wishing for this. :-)

After reading some of the comments on the price of train tickets, and while it's true trains are on paper more expensive, there are some things to consider:

* prices and conditions vary between countries. For example, in Germany your children can travel for free until 14, but apparently this is not universal and it can be a big difference for families

* in a lot of countries you can pay for discount cards and get 25/50 percent off. Even in places like Switzerland where the prices are notoriously high, the discount card is comparatively cheap and to my understanding it's valid on pretty much all public transportation (e.g. city trams). If you travel even slightly frequently, it pays for itself quickly.

* similar to planes, trains in some countries offer discounted prices if you book in advance, and for a specific train. E.g. on my last trip to Switzerland, the price was around 160, but I paid 40 for one leg (even first class!) and going back it was 120 because I had the 25% off card. The card itself cost around 60 so it basically was worth it for one trip. When I was a student 10 years ago, I would travel to e.g. Budapest on a German train with their "Europe Special" ticket for 40 (30 with 25% off). You had to book in advance, but this is true for planes as well if you want something really cheap.

* others have commented on this, but there are a ton of external costs for planes and cars. Usually a taxi to the airport, or parking or whatnot. Trains in comparison put you mostly in the city centre and quite often bundle a city ticket so you can hop on a bus, tram or subway to your final destination.

* planes in Europe don't (always?) pay VAT on international travel. that is quite a big difference in the total price

* trains even if not always punctual often come with a guarantee, meaning you can get money back for a delay. In Germany it's 25% if you are more than an hour late, and 50% for two hours. My family spent over two hours a couple days ago sitting on a cramped plane because they could not take off from Berlin, the only thing they can do about it is cry.

There are things that are quite infuriating about trains and train companies, but IMHO their prices are not all that unreasonable. The comfort and speed for short and intermediate trips also has its price im general.
