The thing about the law in most countries is, the government can usually find you to be doing something wrong, if it wants to.

Interesting that they can "see" what is at best a conclusion of multiple long-term comparative studies, and at worst an unsubstantiated claim.

Well, the Chinese people can apparently make many poorly-supported over-generalizations about themselves! Oh wait, that's _posts_ about the Chinese people.

Hmm. Tell that to hundreds of thousands of homeless people in the US. Or anyone who tries to get medical treatment and asked to shell out tens of thousands of USD.
I can believe this.

I live on a small farm in the Midwest. When my mom (who lives in NYC) comes to visit, it often takes her a few days before she can sleep well because it's so quiet at night.

Conversely, living on top of a hill, the wind absolutely screams in winter. After two or three days of constant howling wind, sometimes I feel like I'm going nuts.

For clarity, anything that pulls in your attention at any given time is an interest that's currently aroused.

It's not always overwhelming! I just think that whatever it is typically consumes more of a monotropic person's processing resources than for the average brain.
I have definitely made it a rule that we don't purchase products that touch food from Amazon. I honestly have no idea how the products there are passing regulations. Are regulations even enforced anymore?

Before we go claiming that this is a-okay, WHY is it being diverted for use? Have other sources dried up? If so, that would still be really bad.
Those are immense human tragedies but they’re not the same. Both of these examples have significant debate on whether they were justified. Perhaps you believe they were not.

There is no such debate around the missile strikes on shopping malls far removed from the front, or bombing civilian evacuation routes your promised to permit. Or deporting thousands of children to your country.

And again, whataboutism is not helpful here. The discussion is on Russia.

> Futuristic companies seem to hate standards.

A standard is just something that gets adopted by a bunch of people. There are competing standards for all kinds of things… the market generally decides what standards win. Any company doing something new is by definition attempting to set a new standard.

i think the value here is more to small teams where only one person may know aws and terraform. a tool like this democratizes things a bit.

you could use terraform cloud or atlantis or custom ci pipelines, but all of that is more complicated depending on your perspective. you need to install a local toolchain for your editor, etc.

a dedicated infra team or a group of folks well versed in this stuff doesn’t need this tool.

Feedback from someone that started with traditional datacenter infrastructure and is now dealing with cloud-infra automation.

I don't see Terraform as the best IaC framework for lowering the barrier to put infrastructure into developers hands (personally I think that product developers should develop and not worry about infrastructure, but that's a different conversation).

The difference in state management is pretty much the biggest difference between Ansible, Puppet, and Terraform - the first two you don't have to worry about it. With Terraform you do. You can't just rewrite code and give resources new names, if you do during a plan it will tell you that it wants to delete the old named resources and deploy the resources with new names.
I dunno, GP's take seems more appropriate for Truth Social than reddit.
I'm assuming you are a consumer since consumer protection organisations were mentioned.

I would start by sending a GDPR subject data request for any personal data they have. There is a definite time limit for the response time. In case of inaccurate data, then there is right to rectification.

If there is no appropriate receipt for the 1200 EUR charge showing value added taxes charged I would ask for the receipt. Some tax agency might be interested if there is no such receipt.

I think Bad bad will be a major metro loses reliable water service across their jurisdiction. It would be a major region of the US running out of basic foodstuffs across the board (though logistics of moving food is easier than water).

Book Yourself Solid Started sometime last year, haven't touched it in months.

Westward Ho been meaning to read it since I was about 10 years old and this spring I remembered I had a 100 year-old copy that's been sitting on a shelf for 20 years so I started it. Again, haven't picked it up in months. Thanks for reminding me.

"The Ugly Chickens" (novella from "1981 World's best SF" collection). My 12 year-old still likes it when I read to him at bed time, so we've been reading it for the last two nights. At least this one I know I'll finish soon, or I'll hear about it :-)
It's not always a tiny optimization. If you have an expensive query or operation, this prevents potentially many duplicative calls.

A practical example of this was an analytics dashboard I was working on years ago -- the UI would trigger a few waves of requests as parts of it loaded (batching was used, but would not be used across the entire page). It was likely that for a given load, there would be four or more of these requests in-flight at once. Each request needed the result of an expensive (~3s+) query and computation. Promise caching allowed operations past the first to trivially reuse the cached promise.

There are certainly other approaches that can be taken, but this works very well as a mostly-drop-in replacement for a traditional cache that shouldn't cause much of a ripple to the codebase.

> I feel like it's at least flirting with classical feature engineering

I, for one, would welcome more of a bridge between intentional human engineering and machine learning. Right now we have inscrutable billion-node language processing models that cause endless arguments about whether they actually know English or not, but don't actually integrate well with anything humans are actually doing. I'd love to see AI get mixed more fluently with manual solutions. It's too either-or right now; the best solutions will come from a mix of smart engineers working seamlessly with focused AI.
I've gotten to the point that if it's a nonsense all-caps name or has an item description in broken English, I just don't bother. It's gonna be trash. It'll fail in 3 weeks, there will be no way to get it returned or repaired, the company won't exist, and the product listing will be gone next time you come back to it.
Residential use is a tiny % of total use. There is a lot of unnecessary water use in agriculture, lawns, etc that would give before any individual resident is meaningfully affected.
Yes. Lake Mead and reservoirs across the West half of the US are extremely low. Water originating from the Sierra Nevada range ended up at about 4% of the total water they would expect in a "normal" year.

California's most serious suggestion to this problem is laughable -- cover open irrigation canals with solar panels to reduce evaporation losses. While it will technically achieve something, it is not addressing any part of the root of the problem: wasteful water use on wasteful crops such as almonds, as well as the privatization and nonstop extraction of groundwater by Nestle and other bottlers. We could point to beef as another incredible consumer of water (when accounting for the full food chain) so reducing beef husbandry would be good (replace beef in your diet with chicken and pork for a couple weeks and see if you miss it).
I hope you are not actually mistaking your urge to dunk on people you despise with a reasonable definition of a term. I mean, dunk away, I don't mind. But I hope you know that's what you're doing. :)
One of my biggest complaints with laptops is the heat and that I always end up putting like a book underneath so that my lap isn't in directly contact with the heat. If apple intended to keep the outer shell cooler, I will any day take it over the slightly higher performance that folks are getting with a thermal pad.
For many people, going to a store the same day is completely impossible (not having a store within reasonable distance that stocks any similar product).

This is not just rural areas, either: even in major cities items can be delivered faster than the time it would take to find a store that carried the item, go to the store, get it, and come home again. It's really only suburban areas with a high density of big-box retail that even have the option to "go out and get something" immediately.

Amusingly, it's also only in these suburban areas where next day delivery even exists to compete. As an anecdote, living in the downtown of a major American city (population > 1million), the average Amazon delivery time is roughly 3 days, and last mile deliveries are all delegated to the USPS which adds significant time.
Nigeria and Chad are Muslim majority country, not someplace a Jew can go. Niger is almost 100% Muslim.

I second this. We haven't gone to the library since COVID but before that I was reading a lot more. I think the last library book was either Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance or Getting Stoned with Savages

FakeSpot kind of does this. Their browser extension can hide Amazon listings directly on Amazon which fall below a certain trustworthiness threshold.
I had an xbox 360 that would always overheat and red ring itself. Eventually I realized the window fan I owned had almost the same curve angle as the 360 case. I built a little stand out of some books to hold it flat upright with the air blowing straight up, with the xbox laid horizontally on top of it. Air was just dumping through the vents in the case and that xbox never red ringed again. Wasn't designed for it but it worked better than the manufactured solution evidently.
I don't see what that has to do with pearl clutching. I entirely understand that people are ok "conceding" for political reasons, in order to further their career or "keep the social peace". That is different than admitting that you are wrong (you are not).

I very much prefer to stand by my professional opinion (as in, I am professional about my craft), and not compromise, even if it has career consequences. This is not "wrong", nor "pearl clutching". I just operate in a different context. and am not antagonistic either.

What is however antagonistic and bullying is being so certain that what I care about is "wrong" and "pearl clutching" and dysfunctional. The stated goal of a company is to build a product that generates revenue. At an individual level you might want to play a different game, and make the person you report to look good so you can score your next promotion. I don't really care about scoring my next promotion.

What I care about is building good products, and don't see why I would "concede" and compromise on my skill building said products. Otherwise, where do I draw the line? Do I just concede as soon as someone disagrees with me? After 5 minutes? If it's my manager? If the person is taller than me? If they are louder? If they start calling me a pearl clutcher?

I might do it once or twice, sure. But then I'll walk.
Ah yes I'm mostly in Europe as well, maybe that's why

That's not true. k8s has cloud agnostic API specs, and it does not care about implementations. Whether to use vendor specific implementations is totally up to the users, regardless who manage the control plane.

It's not going to be just one metro. Water planning and distribution focuses strongly on making sure pretty much everyone has at least some water. If water ever becomes too scarce, everyone will feel it at once.

The slow creep is the warning sign -- according to experts we should be doing a lot more than we currently are right now.

Yes, make a better vaccine, not a big problem, why didn't anyone else think of that?

For your information they are trying, and have been working on it for years, it's called nOPV2.
I’m saying that autistic people are more likely to stand up for their principles to the point of detriment, while NT people are more likely to give in for the sake of maintaining social order

> Otherwise, where do I draw the line? Do I just concede as soon as someone disagrees with me? After 5 minutes? If it's my manager? If the person is taller than me? If they are louder? If they start calling me a pearl clutcher?

I would say that the fact that you do not have an intuitive sense of when to concede is a symptom of autism or at least of not being NT. It is clear to NT people, we generally don’t have to rationally handle it directly, it’s intuitive

But we can engineer nature. Beavers did it for tens of thousands of years before we showed up.

There are groups experimenting with reestablishing beavers on tributaries of the Columbia river, with positive results. We really need to be doing these on the upper reaches of the Colorado.
I don't know which would be worse, you have no chance of winning because their automation sides automatically with the large customer, or a human actually read those death threats and still sided with the large customer.

My grocery store has plenty of fresh produce, what's different about it compared to a EU veggie?
I don't disagree with the fact that we should manage our performance (and career growth!), but this is a problem for after one is hired. I'm not even sure how you'd go about putting reasonable or realistic expectations on somebody's performance until you interview them and make them an offer for a specific title or role.

Even then, expectations of what a role does vary from one org to another. I don't think it's realistic to have someone outside of an organization say "I'm a senior/staff engineer" and for that person to have consistent expectations on what that statement means from for a potential employer from one interview to the next.

> I agree with job about the job of a manager. I am just telling you that each one has her responsibility. All of us.

No disagreement there. My intended point is what appropriate expectations are at various points of a potential employees tenure at an organization. A interviewee has no responsibilities: they have no employment contract and no expectations on them other than those a hiring team or manager brings into the room. The responsibilities come after the interviewee agrees to their job responsibilities and signs an employment contract.
Is it odd of me to not trust anyone that claims they are thinking? There are a few youtube channels with names like this:

"bigthink", "just have a think", "undecided [whatever]" (indicating that they are thinking about something and providing evidence in their videos)...

I'm sure there are more. in my limited experience, people who tell me that others are wrong, and that only they are thinking about something are about to lie to me and attempt to trick me into doing something that benefits them, and often damages me in some way.

I think it may be that I grew into the internet as it matured, and I've seen many bad actors try new things over the years to swindle gullible internet users.

I don't know. I just know that I do not trust anyone who centers their brand identity around the claim that they are thinking or that they are carefully weighing both sides of an issue before making a decision. People who say that aim to manipulate you, in my experience.
It really seems like they want to be a shipping and warehouse service and get out of retail entirely. Maybe better profit margins, or an easier way out of looking like a monopoly. I'm sure they've got some metric to quantify how much profit they're getting for each ounce of reputation lost and they're #winning.

If some officer can cobble together a proof of concept from COTS parts and show that it is just as reliable and effective as the boutique stuff from Raytheon, et al., at a way cheaper price, you bet that it will be met with considerable attention if not approval. Most ground-based military drones these days are controlled with Xbox controllers because those controllers are cheap and ubiquitous. In the 90s, Doom (with mods) was pressed into service as a simulator to help teach Marines fireteam tactics.

About the most stiff-necked branch of the U.S. military is the Navy. I'd be more surprised if the Navy approved a PS3 supercomputer, especially if it were to be run aboard ship.
This happened to me: I ordered a cheap UV EPROM eraser on eBay with three-day delivery. It was literally drop-shipped from Amazon, on an Amazon truck, in an Amazon bag. I could have gotten the same (crappy, simple) product on Amazon a day earlier for about a dollar less. But I was trying to avoid buying on Amazon, because of all the reasons posted in this comments section!
Wikipedia states

> A potential, adverse effect of the OPV is its known ability to recombine to a form that causes neurological infection and paralysis.[27] This genetic reversal of the pathogen to a virulent form takes a considerable time (at least 12 months) and does not affect the person who was originally vaccinated. The vaccine-derived attenuated virus is normally excreted from vaccinated people for a limited period. Thus, in areas with poor sanitation and low vaccination coverage, the spontaneous reversal of the vaccine-derived virus to a virulent form and its spreading in the environment can lead to unvaccinated people becoming infected.

Which boils down to no, you cannot get polio from the polio vaccine but potentially some others could get polio from you for a short period a year later if they’re not vaccinated.
