Bluntly, "we" warned "them". We said, "hey, maybe you don't want to encourage mass surveillance of your life in exchange for 'free' stuff; it could go poorly." It's now going poorly and I don't know that it's even possible to undo the damage now...

All useful tools can be used incorrectly - and I agree SQL is one of the more frequently misused ones. I think a lot of that is that it's one of the more powerful tools.
Oh that's unfortunate. No thank you.
I'm puzzled by the devterm, because it seems like if they had just made it the same size as a TRS-80 Model 100, it would have been perfect! Those were certainly portable too! Maybe they couldn't find a big enough screen?
For small projects why do you need the scale? I feel like once you need the scale serverless is the way more expensive then even managed Kubernetes. I still think serverless is hosting services way to make far more money with the illusion that it is easier when it really isn't. Logging is normally a huge pain. Local dev is usually a huge pain. Managing versions is a pain over just git branches especially over multiple environments. It is a pain to setup different environments and full CI/CD. In then end they might be ok with prototypes but real big systems they are huge pain but that is just my real life experience.
> 1. What problem is your company solving?

I kinda agree, but this question should be resolvable by looking at the source material. The reason why "does your product have good market fit?" is so effective is that it forces the people to justify why, or why they don't have market fit.

This gives you lots of chances to ask followups and figure out if they are hand waving, misinformed, know what they are doing, or just plain naive.

The other two questions are very good, and well worth asking.

The essence of all these questions is to figure out if they have put any thought into the business side(if they are a startup) or how well the business is doing, if they are more established. The crucial thing that often gets lost is that tech is there to fulfil a business function, not the other way around. Figuring out the business model helps you predict what _should_ be built later on.
That's basically how Polaroid pictures work(ed). The developer/fixer was in the bottom edge, and this container was punctured and the chemicals squeezed out by the rollers as it came out. The only thing left would be to distribute it along the back of the photograph, so you, you know, shake it.
Data is a bottleneck for most of the current AI and Machine Learning projects. Deep learning solutions are data-hungry and require often hundreds of thousands of examples in order to learn the patterns within data. So how can you scale your data labeling efforts to keep up with this demand? Crowdsourcing might be the solution to this scalability problem. In this session, you will learn how to treat data labeling tasks as engineering tasks and how to manage the crowd as yet another computing cluster. Magda will show you how to achieve this using python open-sourced libraries from the comfort of your terminal.
How are these exams performed? It's a red flag to me that it's even possible to pass exam answers around. Do the examinees surveil themselves?
I think that particular metric (or one very like it) was originally about… Amazon.com.

So, y’know, maybe a slightly different ballgame.
Mozilla doesn't seem to have a clue why people prefer firefox. It's not because of privacy or security, though that's nice. It's certainly not because it behaves similarly to chrome. It was always the extensibility. The power of plugins that allowed adblocking to be invented on firefox. They threw that away in the name of security and supposed clean code. Clean code doesn't get you users.
Cloud vs. bare metal costs should always be thoroughly calculated. Fragment from an article from current "FreeBSD Journal"[1]

> We compared the three-year total cost of ownership of a VPS, such as a DigitalOcean Droplet, against two equivalent leased or purchased bare metal servers. We estimated that the leased option costs about half as much compared to equal resources in the cloud, and owning the servers would cost less than a quarter of the pure cloud options.

> But only car drivers get to dump their vehicles there. If street parking was open to motorbikes, bicycles, and pedestrians leaving their luggage then I'd be a lot more sympathetic to that argument.

This is silly and factually incorrect. First of all, you can park your motorbike on a street (and maybe even your bike, I really don't know). More importantly, just because one particular public resource is reserved for a particular purpose doesn't make it "not public" nor do we expect users to pay for it. For example, public schools are still "public" and we don't make families pay to send their kids there, instead the whole public pays whether or not they use those schools. Similarly, we don't charge pedestrians to use sidewalks despite that motorcycles aren't permitted to use them. Same deal with bike lanes--cyclists aren't charged for them, the whole public pays for them.

> All of which still adds up to much less than the land value you're taking up, generally.

I would imagine it's a little bit less (considering it's a public resource and the public pays for some of it), but meters can run $8/hour whereas an off-street parking space is often ~$300/month in downtown Chicago (or so it was a few years ago when I lived there, not sure what has happened with inflation). Of course, not all streets are metered and meters don't run around the clock, so it's not a super easy calculation. In whichever case, cyclists are may a much lower share for their use of bike lanes, and that's fine--it's a public resource and the public should pay for it.

> Where I live cyclists are very happy to pay for decent parking

But are they happy to pay for use of the bike lanes like you're proposing cars do for use of street parking? The point is that no one wants to pay to use a public resource.

> public transit users already pay for every journey (in contrast to drivers who pay some flat costs but don't pay any extra for using city center roads, which creates the wrong incentives)

I'm not following your point about incentives--it's not like public transit users pay more during rush hour. And drivers could pay more to use the city center roads ("congestion tax"), but that's generally considered regressive because it effectively reserves city center driving for people who can afford the congestion tax.

I mean... good? I see it as a sign of intelligence and good morals that americans dont want to join the military. Ever since the AUMF in the wake of 9/11 the US military has gone into overdrive as an imperialistic war machine with little oversight by the american public. Not that the US military wasn't always this, but it is magnitudes worse now.

Do you really want to join the military and help drone strike some innocent wedding in a far off country you can barely point to on a map?
> so unless you follow up, they will probably just ignore you, correctly believing that you do not even want to talk to them so much

This is just bs. They are not "correctly believing", they are just assuming my time is worth less than theirs. Unless they are my direct boss, I won't be "following up" at all. I will just say I am blocked on action so-and-so by person so-and-so who is not responding.
This isn't a very serious comment, but it drives me bonkers how many monikers there are for a million. Now I have to prep my brain for the mln floating around. lol
Yet we see religiously-inspired laws everywhere. Any laws relating to alcohol sales is probably reflective of local religiosity, as is the state philosophy on criminal justice. These are not 1st amendment violations. Going deeper, religion created a culture which we have inherited: marriages, government holidays, even the official work week being seven days long. These do not violate the 1st Amendment.
A fetus isn't a person. It's not sentient. It doesn't have hopes and dreams.

Defining a person as someone with hopes and dreams is nice poetically, but not great legally. Quite a few adults go through life without hope or dreams, but are still people. A one month old child isn't developed enough to have hopes and dreams, but is a person. Stepping away from the metaphor of hopes and dreams, you can start to observe REM movement in utero at 28 weeks. So in a literal sense, it is likely fetuses do dream.

This isn't an easy issue with a clear science driven answer. A clump of four cells isn't a person, but there is a very reasonable case for 39 week old fetus being as much of a person as a 1 day old infant born at 38 weeks.

When Security Locks You Out of Everything
I have the "wheel-assist" you describe - the Yamaha NaviOne. it works incredibly well, and without it I would need a full power chair since my arms are fragile.

Auto brakes as you describe would be really annoying since it would make the alternate-hand technique impossible, and most wheelchair users stop touching the rims between strokes. (I use the handrim grip favored by quadriplegics because of my arms, so I so keep my hands on the rims at all times, but it's not ideal.)

I agree that disability aids are quite overpriced and lackluster in general, but I love my Yamaha wheels.
Still a tragedy of the commons situation. Slack, text messages, and phone calls are more synchronous media that demand more attention from the recipient - attention which you usually have no right to ask for - and escalation of everyone using email to Slack/meeting invite/text/phone call is worse off for everyone.
The line is drawn where it is because of false assumption based purely on Catholic mythology. Does German law prohibit revisiting past verdicts?

>And probably protestant and orthodox Christians too. As well as Jews, Buddhists, Hindu and some others.

To many protestants, Jews, Buddhists and Hindu the idea of "life from conception" is no different from what the idea of sacred cows is to Christians.

>there are also secular people against abortion as well.

There are also secular people against vaccines. There are no valid, non-religious arguments for "life from conception", it's just a superstition invented by a certain religion.
This is usually called Power Assertions and other languages have them too. Groovy has it, and there's a compiler plugin for Kotlin that adds it. It's very useful and avoids the need to write assertion messages most of the time, whilst still letting you get useful outputs.

The article seems to ignore all this, in fact, it argues other languages are even worse than C because assertion failures are exceptions. That seems dubious. In JVM languages assertions descend from a part of the exception hierarchy that normal software rarely catches, so they do tend to propagate to the top of the stack. Nonetheless, the ability to catch an assertion failure and do something with it is useful, because it lets you do things like crash reporting much easier. It also lets you build smaller in-process failure domains.
In my 25 years of running production services, I honestly cannot think of one company I've worked for that would have accepted their function being stopped in the middle of the night.

AWS already has a recourse for incidents like these: refund the spend. That is far more reliable than trusting an organisation can tolerate an outage.

ahha terribly terribly sorry!
At work, my development team is contracted with a company that uses AWS, and for better or worse, we have also become the devops team. We have been burned by AWS before, and we have a rule of thumb: if you are deploying new functionality/service communication, after deploy, monitor for 10-15 minutes, with a wide enough window to see if there is a noticable/unexpected change from before the deploy. It always feels like wasted/burned time, but better to waste time than money. AWS is good about reversing accidental charges, though, but life is always easier if you don't even have to contact support.
Middle schoolers already solved this a long time ago - “Sounds like a personal problem”.
I personally believe full-stack is fuzzy, because what if we also provided a UI layer, or a payment interface framework, or a notification handling system, or similar as part of the "full stack" system? It's hard to draw a line as to where something becomes "full stack."

However... it's definitely closer to what I want "full stack" to mean than... this. Or a pile of bash scripts.

Why make a straw man just so you can sarcastically mock it? At least wait for someone to express a real opinion you disagree with. This isn't a good basis for discussion nor very relevant.
I don't think that's true? I mean sure, you might not legally be liable when someone impersonates you in the real world. But I'm absolutely certain the AWS terms say somewhere that you agree to take care of your creds and are liable for whatever is done with them, etc?
Quite possibly. I was never that deep into it, but have many many friends that are so I had heard them discussing various aspects. Clearly got some wires crossed

I always ask about the sales team - How many are there, how many years experience does the manager have in this sector, what's the experience of account execs, do they use BDRs, are they meeting sales goals.

Then, further, how does the sales team interact with engineering. How does customer feedback come back to engineering features, who demos, etc.

It doesn't matter if the engineering is top notch and there's no one to sell it. To me, if a company is past series A and the number of engineers is more than the number of sales employees, that's a warning sign.

Do you have a basis for this assertion that has been studied and reproduced by someone of the opposite political spectrum?

I’m sorry but as a scientist, your assertion that we must hear from someone with the opposite political view before we can determine the veracity of some work is just so foreign to me. Must we also hear from creationists on evolution research? Why can’t that stand alone? If some experiment is reproducible it shouldn’t matter the political bias of the person running the study.

Moreover how would this even be implemented? The idea of a “political spectrum” is just a rule of thumb at best, and a dangerous misleading heuristic at worst. According to you, how would we identify an author’s political bias? Force them to self identify or take some sort of certified test? Will we divide all of our departments between liberals and conservatives? Right now I don’t know the political affiliation of any of my colleagues, and they don’t know mine. Are you suggesting we should bring our politics explicitly into our research?

I mean… have you even thought any of this through?
I'm not actually sure wheelchairs are approved as medical devices. Certainly not the same way pacemakers are. A friend of mine recently had her power chair go haywire on her and try to kill her, which sounded like a melted MOSFET from how she described the repair job. The wheelchair company apparently elected not to recall that model because it only happens to 1% of users.
Not surprised. These guys ripped me off for $25k. They will do anything to get business in the door.
It's not that surprising. The housing market is in a state of shortage in pretty much every major metro area.
Doesn't matter how they view abortion. We already know how they regard fetuses. They are non-persons except in this narrow context according to their own lawmakers for the purposes of waging a culture war that literally didn't exist until Republicans made protecting segregation a part of their party's platform in the late 70s and tied abortion along with it as part of their "moral majority."

When's the last time someone received extra child-care benefits for a fetus? How about SNAP benefits? When's the last time you were able to claim a fetus on your taxes in anti-choce states? Seems awfully strange that people who claim they care so much do so little.
Not from the evidence available on glassdoor and whatnot. Which makes sense, if job-hopping is the way to level up one's salary, then getting a job where there's like one or two employers in a region is going to keep your salary at the same level.

Even if you got a job paying in the 90th percentile in 2010, you'd have a pretty average salary now if you received the standard big corp 2% annual raise given that market adjustments have been in the 8-12% pa range.
In what way, exactly? The historical idea that some people groups have less rights than others? That certainly seems to be what the pro-choice position is. Can you prove the exact point of “viability”, because I can assure you that it is much earlier than was thought in 1973. Do you think it’s a good idea to argue that even though society has continually made egregious mistakes in assigning personhood to humans that we definitely have it right this time and this group of people is, in fact, not really people?

Edit to add: racial minority is just one way that in power groups have oppressed out of power groups, but that is not a unique delineation. Often it’s the most visibly obvious, but humans have done a great job of dehumanizing others based on just about any demographic feature you might want to choose. In American history there is ample example of racial discrimination, but there is also religious, gender, age, physical or mental ability, political affiliation, etc. I don’t really see this as any different from those. Choose a reason why some group isn’t “human” enough and that makes them fair game to do whatever you want. It’s your choice to pick and choose the features you think are necessary to treat a growing group of human cells as human or not. I just think it’s pretty regressive to exclude someone because they aren’t developed to your standard of worth.
> Or is it just being able to run code on the server enough to be "full stack"?

To me, "full stack" would entail having responsibility for logic on both the front-end and back-end, which Fresh does.

Personally, I would not consider Laravel a full stack framework (Although it can work well with front-end frameworks to make a full-stack application). Instead I'd consider it a back-end framework.
This is the exact reason I fear AWS. How should I go about learning it when mistakes like this can basically ruin me for the next few months? Not sure if there are safe resources or Free Sandboxes somewhere
Often the same groups opposing abortion also oppose the most effective policies to reduce abortions (proper sex ed, free birth control and family planning services, etc.). So while I agree there is an impasse on where the human life line is drawn, I would say it's fair to argue that prudishness/puritanical beliefs are a large factor in the opposition to legal abortion
It is _your_ responsibility to configure your mail filters and use your tools to organize your workflow in such a way that you do not miss important emails. Your failure to do so is your own failure. If you fail to see my email because you have a laughably amateaurish gmail-based workflow consisting of a single 100k-message inbox, then please, kindly fuck off. You're not worth my time. The notion that a message "must not be important because they only sent one" is absolutely hilarious!

If I don't reply to your message, it's because I feel there is no need to reply or because I'm ignoring you. Sending multiple such "did you get my email?" followups will land you in the kill file.

There is a difference between a conceived person and an unconceived one.

We assume an unborn person would prefer to be born than killed. An unconceived person doesn't exist at all, so there is no moral/ethical issue in not conceiving them.

The exception maybe is biology, but there is still an upper limit to personal resources which one wouldn't want to exhaust due to the impact on their other (if any) children 's quality of life.
