Everything happens on-device, with no use of Apple servers, and this is clearly called out in the release above. And beyond that, this is a feature that is only enabled by the parent, who society already accepts has the power to censor what their child views.

> It helps you understand why others died, so that you may be able to reduce the chance of getting into the same situation

I'd like to clarify this isn't universally true. It's worth noting that in cases of suicide, specifics aren't published, because publishing specifics increases suicides. (I'm not saying this was suicide).

But in certain cases, I think you're right. High level information about causes of death in mountaineering can be useful for other mountaineers.

And finally, in other cases? I don't think it's relevant.

I disagree. Tolkien leaves plenty to the imagination and often alludes to histories or events which he doesn't bother explaining elsewhere.

>'We cannot go further tonight,' said Boromir. `Let those call it the wind who will; there are fell voices on the air; and these stones are aimed at us.' `I do call it the wind,' said Aragorn. `But that does not make what you say untrue. There are many evil and unfriendly things in the world that have little love for those that go on two legs, and yet are not in league with Sauron, but have purposes of their own. Some have been in this world longer than he.'
'Caradhras was called the Cruel, and had an ill name, said Gimli, `long years ago, when rumour of Sauron had not been heard in these lands.'

Aragorn explains that there are evils older than Sauron and we get the sense that the mountain itself may hold a prejudice against the company but this is never explained or developed elsewhere. Caradhras the Cruel doesn't appear elsewhere either. I'll add that the film unfortunately dispels this uncertainty from the original novel.

If you want the people who make the rules we must live by to be constrained by the median salary, then you're begging for them to be utterly incompetent people as anyone competent will not take such a low paying job when they can easily make far more on the market. Like it or not, labor is a market and you must pay competitively for the best, and you want the best in congress, not the median. 174k is low pay for top people, mid level execs in public companies make that; you have to do a lot better.

You have piqued my interest, oil paints are going to be made safe for schools and I now want to know how they formulate all the colours.

From what I understand you can get many things out of crude oil but you can't just rearrange a few hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms to get any colour in the sRGB colour space. So what is the science of safe paints? Got to know now.

> Another blog post analyzes the same theory for compute and finds a similar story using pricing data from AWS EC2.

AWS used to do frequent price reductions years ago. At a certain point they seem to have stopped doing that and are now only doing them rarely. That's really a shame as there are still a lot of AWS offerings which are priced way too high (data transfer being the most prominent one).

It'll be interesting to see if and up to which point AWS will keep the prices stable with raising inflation.
You're conflating philanthropists and billionaires. The person I was replying to called out philanthropists by name. Unless you don't believe someone can be both a philanthropist and wealthy enough to buy a media company, in which case we simply disagree.
> Does GDScript have good debugging, linting, and profiling tools?

Yes, everything is provided for. No need for separate tools, Godot comes with everything out of the box. (Of course "good" needs to be defined but I personally had no problems.)

> The second form of criticism I've heard is that type issues become a serious problem as the size of game code growns past a certain point.

GDScript has gradual typing support. You get at least TS-level of type safety if you want (but without the headache of TS.)

Also C# is not traditionally a game development language. It has automatic garbage management for which game development happens to be on of the few areas where that is not exactly ideal.

C# is mostly interesting for people already knowing C# or when there are specific performance needs where C# still outperforms GDScript (though personally I would rather write the performance sensitive parts in C++ or Rust).

Most people are highly advised to at least try GDScript. (Also it is very easy to mix and match languages. You can have parts in C#, parts in GDScript, parts in C++, no need to commit early to a specific language.)

AWS makes it pretty easy to operate in multiple AZs within a region (each AZ is considered a separate datacenter but in real life each AZ is multiple datacenters that are really close to each other).

That being said, there is still an added cost and complexity to operate in multiple AZs, because you have to synchronize data across the AZs. Also you have to have enough reserved instances to move into when you lose an AZ, because if you're running lean and each zone is serving 33% of your traffic, suddenly the two that are left need to serve 50% each.

The bigger companies with overhead reservations will get all the instances before you can launch any on demand during an AZ failure.
The R2 vs S3 story is pretty interesting. For archival use cases, S3 still wins by a mile, but for running apps, R2 often wins (minus lacking features).

I wrote up my findings here: https://www.vantage.sh/blog/cloudflare-r2-aws-s3-comparison
Didn't Facebook do something similar with video content creators? They paid them well and had inflated video numbers and then suddenly stopped paying ad revenue.
This is true, but I think it would be more acceptable if the region were down vs the single AZ
It’s a term of art from e.g. C++.
we definitely had issues with all of the AZs in east-2, and far more services impacted than just EC2 (f.e. RDS, elasticache were intermittently down for us)

This is a great idea, but it turns out you can't get product traction without actually a scaffolding for teaching the basic knowledge first. So we had to work on that, and we plan to return to this theme you suggested later on.

That sounds a lot like heated face to face interactions. I guess that's why they call it "social" media!

People can take responsibility for their feelings and actions. Or they can find a scapegoat like social media. There's a long human tradition of scapegoating, after all.

Part of the problem is that if the job doesn’t pay well, it attracts people who are independently wealthy and who are more likely to represent the interests of the wealthy. For most wealthy politicians, the bulk of their wealth comes from a business they own that pays out hundreds of thousands of dollars (or millions of dollars) per year, not their 100K-ish government salary.

The upshot of this is that when “the people” get pissed and start saying things like “Don’t pay congress until they fix the government shutdown!”, it unilaterally screws anyone who was working or middle class prior to election, as they now have no salary and can’t hold out as long as the multi-millionaire politicians who have a law firm back home or a huge stock portfolio paying their rent.

The idea that, under the current system, people are running for congress for the money isn’t exactly in line with how things currently operate.

Why?
I think that describes the actions of someone who was in the military and went into Iraq following orders.

It does not describe the actions of someone who started a private mercenary company in order to make money. Which is a generous interpretation, since Prince has also been accused of holding a religious belief in killing Muslims.

Whatever you say about Bush and Cheney’s motives—and there’s much to say—they are not Prince’s motives. His motives, and responsibility, are his own.

> You can talk about the problem, and you know they've got some (time) skin in the game.

Perhaps it's better than being ghosted on a take home assignment, but am I the only one who thinks this is crap as well?

It sounds great on paper, for sure. But in my experience, talking about a problem ends up being like talking to a tree trunk. They say "we want to see how you'd work with us", but when I try and engage the interviewer (without asking them for the answers, obviously), I almost always get blank stares and it's super awkward. Even if I just speak out loud as I'm reasoning things, it's still weird as hell.

Yes, it could work if the interviewer was skilled at playing the role of a collaborator, but almost none of them are. Don't tell me to do a task as if doing teamwork on the job without even faking the teamwork part.

To your point, think the advantage is that they can't ghost you or overwork you that way.
> It's hard to come to a firm conclusion since pricing data is held very secretly (AWS quickly deletes announcements of historical price decreases).

That's not correct. Here is the history of every (properly tagged) price reduction AWS ever announced: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/category/price-reduction/
I agree with that. I just mean I'm pretty much never directly interacting with Facebook so I don't have to think about them.

Is a PDF invoice typically expected to be generated every time you’re billed, or only when someone clicks “View PDF Invoice”?

It seems like the % of customers that care to have PDF over an HTML page would greatly affect the need for scalability.

Anecdotally even when I’ve preferred a PDF invoice, it’s been on a case by case basis.

The number needs to be effectively an unbribeable number.

If you're selected for public service, then you're expected to do good for the country, and not just a specific monied interest. And that means not having to worry about money ever again. You win capitalism. Done. Have fun. Live your life.

Of course they are. Which is why every scholar should cite where they found their information, so that readers can chase down the reference and critically examine it. Authors should cite the source whether it is a blog post, a newspaper article, a popular textbook, a journal paper, a historical accounting document, or private correspondence with a colleague.

When people don’t cite their actual sources it becomes orders of magnitude more difficult to figure out how they came up with their claims and trace the origin and transmission of those claims through the literature.

But my inital question was Why would stripe deem a used vehicle sale as a huge liability enough to flag the transaction. Not the seller having reservations about using the card system as a means of payment for the sale.

The person having the issue with stripe clearly initally thought accepting payment via card was fine, the purchaser hasn't issued a chargeback as far as we can tell, the transaction itself was flagged by stripe.

EDIT: just to be clear. or atleast try to be more clear. I'm not against Stripe "holding" on to the cash for a while, it was an abnormal transaction on the account for an item not normally sold by the seller (as they used Stripe as a back up method as their primary provider was down).

I was just asking the question why would a used vehicle sale be deemed as a huge liability for a company selling their old company van to process via the card network (not your avg joe selling a car from home who might not want the hassle - cash is king for as-is sales at the end of the day) because the fact it was a used vehicle was the reason the person I was replying to stated as the prob cause.

EDIT2: Allow me to word it like this. If the company wished to sell off old networking gear and/or servers "as-is" because they were no longer needed. The size of the transaction and the items sold would be unusual for the business to be selling which may cause the transaction to be flagged for further inspection/validation/hold on the funds just to be on the safe side (Thats fine, I get that, they were doing transactions outside their normal operations and tripped some safeguards).

But I just don't see why the item(s) themselves (the network gear/servers) alone would be such a liability to justify the hold, servers and network gear get sold as-is online all the time, so why would a used vehicle be any different? The person I initally replied to was saying that because "a used car seems extremely likely to cause a chargeback". I just don't get the "extremely likely to cause a chargeback" part.
If we're designing a system of incentives and constraints for legislators, let's pay bounties for laws deleted.

There are probably 2 or 3 orders of magnitude too many laws currently in America (have you ever estimated trying to read and comprehend the entire law? Borderline impossible in a single lifetime even under very optimistic reading-speed assumptions etc).

If this metric becomes a target and ceases to be a good metric, that sounds ideal because it'll have the side effect of drastically simplifying the legal code.
I tend to agree with much of the criticism of SwiftUI, namely that it and the underlying mechanism (result builders) is over-indexed on the UI-for-iPhone-apps use case. But I think Swift's greatest strength is what I mentioned in the parent comment: progressive disclosure. You don't need to use result builders and if you don't, the complexity of the language stays the same. I contrast that with C++ which has added some powerful, complex features that underpin most of the language, making it more necessary to understand the full scope of the feature set to get anything done.

> That was all based on federal law, not visa dispute rules

In my experience, insurance adjusters are completely oblivious to the distinction here—that there are your company's rules, and then there's the rule of law, i.e. something bigger than you or your boss or your boss's boss, etc.

Insurance carriers especially benefit greatly from the misconceptions held by those in their workforce (and who end up seeding public perception with the same errors), even when they're pretty easily shown to contradict the law. It's almost certainly intentional.
The article defines stupidity in a very precise way: for the purposes of this essay, it's someone who causes harm to other people without any benefit or causing harm to themselves. It has nothing to do with cognitive ability, knowledge, or education -- it's a behavioral pattern.

Maybe "stupid" as a label is not great because it already has an established meaning different than the one being used here, but I find the basic observations contained in the essay to be useful.
Flock Safety [YC] Says License Plate Readers Reduce Crime. It’s Not That Simple
It's not so cut-and-dried. The AZ isolation guarantees are not quite at the maturity they need to be.

If you're using any managed services by AWS, you need to rely on their own services to be AZ fault-tolerant. In AWS speak, they may well be (just with elevated error rates for a few minutes while load balancing shifts traffic away from a bad AZ). But as an AWS customer, you still feel the impact. As an example, one of our CodePipelines failed the deployment step with an InternalError from CloudFormation. However, the actual underlying stack deployment succeeded. When we went to retry that stage, it wouldn't succeed because the changeset to apply is no more. It required pushing a dummy change to unblock that pipeline.

Similarly, many customers run Lambdas outside of VPCs that theoretically shouldn't be tied to an AZ. You're still reliant on the AWS Lambda team to shift traffic away from a failing AZ, and until they do that, you'll see "elevated error rates" as well.
Part of settling a case is you ending your legal action. That’s your end of the bargain. Their end is cutting the check, (or whatever other terms you’ve agreed to.)

Stock exchanges only halt trading in very limited circumstances. If you're referring to the GME debacle no stock exchange forced Robinhood to halt trading; that was entirely on the broker.

I won't attempt to defend Rep. Pelosi but what she is doing isn't insider trading. She isn't an insider for any corporation that she and her husband traded on. Instead she is using political power to manipulate stock prices from the outside. This type of naked corruption should be banned, but let's not confuse the issue with inaccurate labels.
Sure - as I said, partly tongue in cheek. The problem is really that as a cooking-ignorant person, it's work to figure out if a recipe is going to be time consuming, expensive, or require obscure, or (to the naive palate) unpleasant ingredients. I've no problem with other people doing whatever floats their boat, but if the app is supposed to be an easy introduction to cooking it should at least place that stuff behind a flag of some kind.

Not gonna happen.

The question now is - would they be able to keep it, not whether they can grab more.
