That only works if people don't unreasonably deify the system. You have to admit the constitution is deeply flawed in order to be willing to modify it, and, well, if popular opinion is that it is deeply flawed, you won't amend it, you'll just have judges rule without interpreting it strictly.

Politically speaking, it's a terribly flawed document, because it can't change it without a civil war or functionally one party rule, and its written in imprecise language that opens it up to more judicial interpretation than is necessary or constructive.

Google seems to have more than its fair share of good engineers, but the organization itself is not substantially different from other organizations.

Whether core services are "on fire" depends on which team you're on. Some core services are pretty much "on fire" all the time, with high pager loads for the SRE teams supporting them. Some core services are rock solid, and the SRE teams conduct exercises where they turn the service off just to remind people that the uptime SLO is not 100%.

Same goes for code quality. Some teams have code that you'd just love to print out and put the code listings on your desk. Some teams have code that doesn't make sense and nobody understands.

Some teams are highly functional, some teams are exceptionally dysfunctional.
As far as I know that's pretty much exactly the amount of fissile material used annually world-wide.

The caveat is of course that for 1 kg of coal you have to dig up a lot less material than you have to for 1 kg of fissile material - U235 is around 1 % of natural Uranium, and Uranium is around 1 % of the ore.

It caused a lot of problems for me, because of employees who complained that they couldn't reach anything on the internal network because firefox switched to using the default DoH instead of the system DNS. We configured the canary domain, but the heuristic for using that was pretty buggy in the beginning, and still isn't completely reliable. Sure we can tell them to disable DoH or change the DoH endpoint, but that's one more thing to worry about onboarding. And if you don't already have enterprise policies set up, then configuring that just for DoH is a huge pain.

Not always. Markets are a poor choice when the barriers to entry are high or when the product is mandatory for life so people can't reasonably elect to not buy it or cut back significantly on their use. This is why we don't put municipal water on the free market, and why Texas can't keep the lights on. This is why no sane country would try to distribute healthcare on a free market.
In a way radioactivity is one of the easiest contaminants to deal with: Instant, contact-free testing for levels is trivial with cheap, handheld devices, compared to virtually all other toxic substances which usually require taking samples and analyzing them in a lab. Decay is very well understood and easy to characterize.
The employer is asking for a background check to minimize losses/insurance payments due to employee theft. If the government background check does not reflect the risk of the individual being involved in theft in the past (for whatever reason), then the employer will find another, perhaps even less ethical provider of information to assess the risk.

>Yet, the private sector focuses mostly on the software part, or services. I have rarely seen a start up on improving optical fiber or electronic chips. The public sector builds the infrastructure, often following decades of investment and work.

Billing is a nightmare for everyone but its not so bad for engineers. In general it's great to keep track of what things cost but in situations where the overhead is more expensive than the product it self we should be considering more unmetered approaches.

Billing, like taxes, can be broken down into relatively simple smaller problems. You solve all of those then do a bit of maintenance. In return you get something close enough to all-you-can eat on the cheap! Automation is wonderful!
The Tesla deaths per year bar chart peaks at 2019 and then decays for 2020 and 2021. It is presented by the author, however, as exponential growth.

That’s the moment this article jumped the shark, for me. No one knows what the trend is, but the author clearly only wants to consider one interpretation.

The difference is the DSLR isn't designed to function like a webcam - always plugged in ready to go. "Set and forget" doesn't apply as reliably.

For personal use it's fine. But for work meetings where someone calls you unexpectedly is where things can go wrong if you have unconventional equipment dependencies.

The author recommends an "old DSLR". But you will need utility software running, it's not just a simple driver. Manufacturers make and update these utilities at their discretion. It's a gamble whether it all runs smoothly.

The DSLR needs to be in a special mode, and won't wake up in that mode automatically for incoming calls if powered down, etc.

My car has had constant build quality issues. Yes, a demo drive is nice, but then you live with one.

We had to have our windshield replaced immediately because it didn't seal, then the automatic wipers stopped working. The door handles have been replaced at least four times. I've been locked in and out of the car because the handles wouldn't work. The software is full of memory leaks and crashes three dashboard and center console to black while driving. The threads and materials inside were pelt trimmed and didn't fit neatly. The front axle has needed to have shims replaced because turning the steering wheel was making loud popping noises... twice.

I've had superchargers not work, leaving me stranded.

I've been sent two recall notices (for different issues) that said, "sit tight, we'll contact you when parts arrive" but then they never contacted me. When I called to inquire, they said they'd have to charge me for a service visit, and it would be $200, and maybe I just didn't want to fix the issue?

I've had other recalls that did get fixed, at least.

My experience is hardly unique. The car is shoddily put together. And every service tech I've chatted with has said, "Full disclosure? They are running too lean in the factory, so some units just don't get finished right."

And that's to say nothing about the other issues people experience, like autopilot making bad decisions, or Tesla shipping their cars with demo chips, or dangerously bad welding.

Being third in the market is independent from the quality of services IMO. Whether the services are being offered that a lot of businesses need is a different question. The services Google Cloud does offer tend to be well designed but many of them are simply not what established businesses (and their engineering organizations) are accustomed to. Lower marketshare is not a direct consequence of engineering excellence (or an alleged lack thereof).

Conversely, simply having more market share doesn't mean AWS services are well engineered and the engineers are smarter (they might be, but you cannot make this claim).
I was looking for the "best" parmesan cheese the other day. Apparently it is Kraft Grated Cheese.

So the delicious curls I grate onto my pasta may put me out of step with the best.

If your primary need is to reduce deployment and maintenance pain, Microsoft 365 (previously called Office 365) with Excel online should work well.

I was drawn to your post since I hate how much Excel is abused. People use a spread sheet where a simple table in a word processor or note taking app more than suffices. Unfortunately I see no way out of it. The replacements to Excel - i.e. other spreadsheet products have the same issue. Excel actually is probably the most mature of the lot with plenty of information to troubleshoot issues.

If you have a good dev team, with good UI design and dev skills, as suggested by @m348e912 you could create a quick app to serve specific purposes. You could also look into other low-code app platforms. These solutions may take a bit to do, but the end users will love it if done right.

That's exactly correct. The alignment allowed the spacecrafts to fly by the major planets using gravity assists and minimal fuel for corrections. Both Voyagers launched in 1977. The alignment occurs every 175 years, so 130 years to go to the next one (~2152).

> The USG ostensibly requires due process (a warrant, whatever) to obtain information from US servers.

This is no longer true, as Ed Snowden showed us. This is literally the point of their secret interpretation of FAA702. Pretending otherwise is nonsensical. The USG, just like the CCP, gets whatever data they want, about anyone, from servers in their own country, without due process.

Anyway, my comment was not about jurisdiction, just about surveillance.

Regardless, Google obviously has the plaintext if you use Gmail. You don't want that, either. The USG will probably only use it for a subset of things; Google has no/few limitations on the use once you voluntarily give them such a huge trove of data about your life, travel, vendors, and purchases.

Indeed, e.g. of Dirac:

“I must say that I am very dissatisfied with the situation because this so-called ’good theory’ does involve neglecting infinities which appear in its equations, ignoring them in an arbitrary way. This is just not sensible mathematics. Sensible mathematics involves disregarding a quantity when it is small – not neglecting it just because it is infinitely great and you do not want it!. ”

and Feynman:

"The shell game that we play is technically called ’renormalization’. But no matter how clever the word, it is still what I would call a dippy process! Having to resort to such hocus-pocus has prevented us from proving that the theory of quantum electrodynamics is mathematically self-consistent. It’s surprising that the theory still hasn’t been proved self-consistent one way or the other by now; I suspect that renormalization is not mathematically legitimate.”

> We shouldn't ask why one incident gets more scrutiny compared to another.

why not? If the incidents had similar death counts and other neutral metrics, they ought to be similarly treated.

The problem with selective scrutiny is that it enables discriminatory, tactical politicalization of an event. If society is to move towards equality and equal treatment of all, remove racism and biases, it has to treat all events with equal importance.

In a similar vein, the johnny depp and amber heard suit has revealed that domestic violence is just as much a problem for men, but they are often not believed because society has assigned less importance to an event that otherwise should've been treated equally as the female counter-part.
