Something similar worked for us, even when the kids were young. Both my wife and I enjoy cooking (side story, when we got kids, I realized that I'd be spending a lot of time cooking and so I decided to make it an interest of mine since I was going to spend a lot of time doing) and rather than planning what to make everyday we make sure to have interesting ingredients at home and then when it's mealtime we do what we have time for and what we like. When the kids were younger they were also part of the decision, it was a fun chat to have before dinner. This means that when shopping, we try to do a weekly shopping run, we pick up stuff that we think we can make something of and then some weeks we just decide to empty the fridge/freezer of whatever we haven't cooket yet.
My understanding is that's only used for identity verification, not as a payment method.
At various points in my career, I worked on Very Big Machines and on Swarms Of Tiny Machines (relative to the technology of their respective times). Both kind of sucked. Different reasons, but sucked nonetheless. I've come to believe that the best approach is generally somewhere in the middle - enough servers to ensure a sufficient level of protection against failure, but no more to minimize coordination costs and data movement. Even then there are exceptions. The key is don't run blindly toward the extremes. Your utility function is probably bell shaped, so you need to build at least a rudimentary model to explore the problem space and find the right balance.
> However, cloud providers have often had global outages in the past, and there is no reason to assume that cloud datacenters will be down any less often than your individual servers.

A nice thing about being in a big provider is when they go down a massive portion of the internet goes down, and it makes news headlines. Users are much less likely to complain about your service being down when it's clear you're just caught up in the global outage that's affecting 10 other things they use.
Thanks for the link! I also know a national grocery store that switches from AWS to Azure once Amazons started competing with them directly. With that said though, I think it's very, very rare and I hate how people use it as an argument to justify Terraform, which largely doesn't help because all the APIs are different enough to still require manual adjustments.

Email: dela1000 [at] gmail

My tech industry career has led me from Customer Support/Community Management to QA, and then to software engineering with a focus on frontend design and development. I have built projects from the ground up using React, React Native, Vue and AngularJS. I've also built APIs using Node/Express and designed databases with MySQL.

I'm happy to chat about any open positions in the US and/or overseas.
Main reasons for me are speed, quality, and showing proof of market.

I have worked on Android previously, but I'm much more familiar with iOS. In a space with competition, product quality is one of the important factors to gain user interest. That's also the reason I didn't go with React Native, since the tech needs will grow to a point where I won't be able to provide a good enough UX. Once I've proven value, I can hire an Android dev.
I found working with Google people impossible, which includes on the account side. They are rude and unhelpful.

I had an issue where the domain verification system Google uses was broken. There was a backend issue on their side where the Google Webmaster Verification worked fine but their Cloud Run product couldn't read it. Rather than help me their product manager said that Cloud Run was a preview service so it was my fault for using it- and then he preceded to recommend another service instead, although that service was also in preview.

This is just one example of many. GCP is the only service I've used where product managers will straight up insult and lie to users, and they'll do it publicly too (following their accounts on twitter is almost hilarious for how rude they are). Unless your company has nine figures in revenue GCP will happily crap all over you.
Is Citadel paying 2X for PFOF on Robinhood vs Schwab because it is dumb retail flow or due to increased optionality because it is inherently built in slow transmission flow to reach the execution platform?
If you watch the video, it is largely about manufacturer inefficiencies and abuse, and it ends essentially saying that the current system needs reform.

I'd put this into the "current model needs to change" category rather than in defense of it, regardless of what the title of the video may otherwise suggest.
The demographic simply changed. I could see these comic strips doing quite well on Facebook for the 50 and up crowd in many areas of the country.

I don't agree with the point. But a lot of people do - and it's created a sort of conservative counter-culture that is irresistible to many people.
I had a bad experience with a similar service. It led me to a dealership which claimed to have the car I wanted at a < MSRP price. I called the dealership ahead of time and they confirmed they had that car at that price.

I got there and oops they forgot to mention that the car had a extra options package that increased the price by $$ also the car, in our opinion, had a manufacture defect which they said was normal. Finally they gave an offer on my trade-in that was about half the bluebook value.

Almost on a whim we we stopped at another dealership on our way home and got the same car, sans defect, at a lower price with a higher trade in. I think the dealerships that participate in these services rely on customer trust. The customer wants to believe they are getting the best price and the customer doesn't want to comparison shop, they just want to buy a car and go home. The participating dealership is taking advantage of that.

We stumbled upon a effective car-buying technique - come in the dealership late afternoon and tell them, truthfully, that you've got to get home before the baby-sitter leaves in about 45 minutes. We were just planning to test drive but they were motivated.

"We want car for X",

"You can have it for Y"

"We don't have time to bargain we've got to get home"

"OK, you have have it for X"

We got the car we wanted, the trade-in value we wanted, we brushed aside all discussions of extra features. Gotta go, take it or leave it.

We made it home in time and she did really have to leave. We're not good actors, I think we could only get away with it because we were 100% sincere
I don't remember Gibson but I wonder if we can get to the point that outlaw hackers limit damage to the wealthy and send "refunds" to the exploited. That would be worth celebrating.

Many Asians are dealing with intergenerational poverty including multi-century. Much of the discrimination before the 1900s were in other countries, but Asians have frequently faced discrimination.

In the US there has been discrimination for over 100 years.

Please stop justifying racism.
Interesting write-up that acknowledges the benefits of cloud computing while starkly demonstrating the value proposition of just one powerful, on-prem server. If it's accurate, I think a lot of people are underestimating the mark-up cloud providers charge for their services.

I think one of the major issues I have with moving to the cloud is a loss of sysadmin knowledge. The more locked in you become to the cloud, the more that knowledge atrophies within your organization. Which might be worth it to be nimble, but it's a vulnerability.
His actions are definitely of someone who is strongly connected to reality.

My manager had director level approval to hold out job openings to women only. They same manager complained that they were sick of “men and Asian women” making up the team. They asked me for resumes but said they only wanted non-male, non-white or LGBTQ resumes. They were recognized as a diversity champion in the company.

Asian immigrants are escaping intergenerational poverty that they are suffering from today
totally understand your POV. I am pro crypto because I think banks and VC and hedge funds and market makers and all of these shadow/mystery shits that go down in the real markets are scammy and evil. while its possible to obfuscate things on a chain ledger, its impossible to really hide. blockchain tech puts everything in the open which i think would prevent a lot of crime that exists today and goes completely unchecked.

i prob didnt say all that super well but i hope you get the spirit of my argument. i totally respect your opinion here though because you are not wrong :)
MongoDB 3.x was broken too[0]. Their reputation for consistently shipping databases with fundamental design defects is well-deserved. Data loss was a hallmark of that product across multiple major versions. Maybe they've suddenly turned a new leaf in the last couple years but I wouldn't want to bet my business on it. Most of the companies I know that use it, use it for data that doesn't matter such that data loss isn't a big deal.

But yale was one of the institutions that was doing the abusing, right? Shouldn’t they be the ones who are punished? That isn’t what’s happening though, they are punishing “non-diverse” (see: white and asian) students instead.
> Why not?

Probably because judging people their race makes you no better than those that judged people on their race.
> when your time runs out on the expanded free tier they turn everything off and you have to re provision into always free or do an account upgrade

yes, this is exactly it! nailed it
> Hyenas are big cats, no?

No.
I see no contradiction to my statement at all: "Zero was introduced to reason about the question of what remains if you have n sheep and give all of them away".

People invented mathematics to be able to explain things happening in nature, and refined their mathematical devices even further to even explain the nature of mathematics itself. Numbers did not exist before people invented them as sets for different tools to calculate stuff, as you have so eloquently put. To argue that "Real numbers very definitely were not known to humans until the 1700s" means nothing else than these numbers were not invented yet. Um, what is your point exactly?
Thanks, but that's such a narrow definition of the concept.

I see affirmative action less as treatment for historical grievances and more like reverse racism.

We should be suspicious when the treatment looks so similar to the abuse, to use your analogy.
This is the norm. It's only weird things like Node.js and Ruby that don't have this property.

To the world? No. To recent American politics? Yes, very much so.

There is no problem with taking the long perspective in your definitions, so long as you are consistent about it, but:

We just bought a Honda because we could get it at MSRP.

The Toyota waiting list had like 20 people on it, cost $1500 to get on, we'd have to buy fabric protection and ceramic coating for the dealer when we got the car...and we probably wouldn't even have gotten the car until early next year (this was in June)
I remember people doing daily protests against the war and organizing large demonstrations.

There was a lot of support for that war, but that support was far from unanimous, especially on the grassroots level. I do not remember any supporters of the war who I knew personally who wanted to raze Iraq to the ground and, as I recall, the antipathy was more directed at the Saddam regime and not the Iraqi nation.

Your overall point is valid, whitewashing enter nations with a single brush is inaccurate and unfair. However, you are doing the exact thing you are trying to criticize.
They don't gain much (and can lose a lot) by shooting down an American politician, when what they care about is Taiwan itself if anything.
I think the goal of using race in admissions is more about giving disadvantaged people an advantage rather than increasing "diversity of thought".
But I believe plenty of Asians feel the pain of racism, right? And let's not forget about interring Japanese-Americans during World War II. Sure, the Japanese experience in the United States didn't begin with slavery, but let's not assume they do not suffer the effects of racism.
Messing with the carefully managed status quo is foolish. China cares a lot more about Taiwan than the US does, if we goad them into action on this issue it's going to be a repeat of Ukraine. We will send them some donations and put Taiwanese flags on social media, but they would get devastated and occupied.
I recently listened to the 5-4 podcast episode "Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1" that covered the 2007 US Supreme Court decision. It discusses using race in public school choice and discusses two different interpretations of the 14th amendment.
"If you take 14th Amendment, or have any sort of class that talks about desegregation in public schools, there are two different ways of thinking about the holding in Brown versus Board of Education. One is that Brown versus Board of Education is an anti-classification case, and the other is that it's an anti-subordination case." [1]
As a member of the public with no background in law, I suspect that this distinction may be what SCOTUS will rule on in these upcoming cases. If you're interested in the topic and enjoy podcasts, I highly recommend this episode.

I think a money laundering flag in particular is unlikely; if so, consider how we got here:

- Customer is likely not a money launderer, or he wouldn't have posted this transcript as evidence.

- How many money launderers buy cloud computing credits with their dirty money? How would there have been money activity at all on the free tier?

- Who's doing the flagging? An internal list of people Oracle thinks is shady? That's concerning. Or actual law enforcement? (See points 1 and 2.)

Rather I bet it's some internal sweep that Oracle thinks needs similar treatment as money laundering. Whatever process managed to flag these accounts clearly casts way too wide a net.
Someone did port clang to the browser, though I don’t have the moment to Google it right now. So LLVM has been done at least once.
Unfortunately they won't be able to do much about it, besides jail someone (who may in fact be unable to make the victims whole).
This is pretty far removed from my direct experience with Ivy League alumni and professors (coauthors, colleagues, coworkers). It is a common refrain though. Elements of conservatism are sometimes viewed as being eschewed when they are ideologically based and the evidence doesn't support claims. But this is true generally and a consequence of the academic incentive structure where there are never enough resources to fund.

On the other hand, academic malfeasance does occur (e.g. Alzheimers research in recent decades), so the system is far from perfect, but the risky/rewarding incentive is to absolutely decry the current state as being completely wrong. Consider Nassim Taleb's popularization after the Great Recession as a great example, or earlier Paul Krugman's transaction cost theories.

In the (good ol') times, to get a driving license (here in Italy) you had to have a basic understanding of how cars worked, including the engine, the gearbox, clutch, etc. and driving schools would have had a "fake" car with all the mechanisms visible (and working) so that the teacher could explain in practice how everything worked.

They were "pieces of art", examples:

OP, I would suspect you have been flagged by some US agency for investigation. In these cases the vendor does not have much leeway in telling you what is going on, as revealing the details of an ongoing investigation is likely forbidden.

What kind of content is in the app? Do you have any user generated content like comments, etc.? Could be a user of yours posted something that flagged your app.
I bought one. If you really look at what all you're getting, it's not expensive at all - in fact, I think it's something of a deal (esp. given supply chain constraints and the value added by their mainboard i/o, case, etc.) I've been CTO for nearly a dozen companies and have access to world-class PCB and mechanical prototyping facilities and staff, and even with all that, I decided that buying the PiBox was cheaper and better than rolling my own.

I hope they're making enough margin on these things to keep going, as I'm really pretty impressed with the company and its people so far - I really want these guys to succeed!

And as an aside to those who say the Pi is underpowered and not capable of serious work, I'll note two things: 1) You're wrong (search Cray in comments above), and 2) That was the argument against Linux 20 years ago. Like Linux then, the RPi will succeed in the end because it provides an open standard platform, and although it is not best at anything, in aggregate, it is getting better much faster than the competition.
That's vendetta of mafia clans: "You don't know me and I don't know you, but your grandpa offended my grandpa a century ago, so today I'm going to offend you."
Yes, the US is designed around the idea of a rich minority that is protected against the poor majority. How will that get fixed, what do you think? ;) The rich majority has their arm up in the government, the poor majority only gets the illusion of democracy and justice and freedom.
> It is often very political and propagandist

I don't get the "political" angle - what's political about getting people to think about others? maybe it's a bit heavy-handed in a corporate-do-goody-virtue-signaling way, but "political"? it's not like you're doing workshops arguing what the upper marginal tax rate should be
Why is it not also an option to change the way the workplace works? As another commenter already posted, assertiveness doesn't equal knowledge or importance. If our society tends to prioritize things like assertiveness in men and tends to see these characteristics as negative in women, AND if we see these things as necessary and good in the workplace, how doesn't this disadvantage women? Why do women have to change for the workplace, why can't we change workplaces to be better suited to people of different characters?
If your goal is equal opportunity you can look at socioeconomic class without considering race. Fundamentally the idea that race must be considered to achieve diversity is an inherently racist idea - you don't believe some races will get in without help.
Well, sure it is a tabloid, but it's a real news from here. And I'm pretty sure it started a trend, even if it's not big enough to be reported yet.
