Fundamentally, smart contracts as a technology are pretty doomed if their function requires the assumption of perfect code with no stop-gap when that assumption inevitably breaks.

We can't expect widespread public adoption of a system like that; even lay people are too familiar with how unreliable software is.

> a doctrine that discriminating against Whites is very good and correct, because they deserve it.

This is an argument put forth in bad faith. The thought - agree or disagree - is white individuals in America have systemic advantages that persist due to historical social practices the manifest across many years of education and just existence in life in America. It's not about "deserving less" but about acknowledging they nudges in their favor many had along the way.

I'm not going to debate the veracity of that thought on a forum, but it's not some sort of punitive belief.
I really like "Eat This Much". My partner and I have also been trying "Meal Prep Pro" which is a little prettier, a bit more expensive, and mobile only. The "Eat This Much" learning curve is a bit steeper, and it requires configuration, but it meets the "pantry leftovers" functionality you're looking for.

I have no association with "Eat This Much" other than being a customer and a fan.

To answer your edit, yes, it’s still considered losing money when it’s due to compensation. Stock is an asset of the company so it’s not free to give away, even though it’s not cash. Second, they still lost money when excluding that compensation. It’s so far from your original idea that they were fined for less than 10% of annual profits.

I understand your dismay but starting with good numbers is an important part of financial and trade regulation.

It wasn't a sarcastic jab.

Do you expect everybody in the world to know how the US government works?

> It would take two seconds to look this up.

I looked it up immediately after looking up Nancy Pelosi on Google. This is what I got (Wikipedia):

"The United States House of Representatives, usually referred to as the House, is the lower chamber of the United States Congress, with the Senate being the upper chamber."

Right. Now I have to look up "US congress", "US senate", "US upper and lower chamber"... Didn't want to bother with it.

So I typed in a simple explanation.

This is the honest truth. Believe it if you want to.

(I actually got a better understanding of what US House of Representatives is by reading other comments here.)
> not bearing any burden, as there are a lot of schools who aren't Yale that will accept you. This isn't the case for those who are benefiting from Affirmative Action.

I went to a state school on a merit scholarship, so I'm pretty far outside direct impact from these decisions.

If someone thinks their only chance of going to college is Yale, they're wrong. Fixing that lack of institutional knowledge makes more sense than twisting the scales to fit a race-based ideology. (To the degree I bear indirect burden, it's in living in a society that seeks to create a racial hierarchy. Also, being young enough that the obviously predictable backlash will be a problem in my lifetime.)

We have a legacy of wrongs against Black Americans. It's on all of us, including those who didn't commit the atrocities but benefit from the system built on them, to address that. Creating racial pools in college admissions is not the way.

You're missing "apartment complex" - you as the service provider contract with the apartment management company to basically cover your costs, and they handle the day-to-day along with running the apartment building.

Done right, it'll be cheaper for them (they can advertise "high speed internet included!" or whatever) and you won't have much to do assuming everything on your end just works.

The days where small ISPs provided things like email, web hosting, etc, are long gone; you're just providing a DHCP IP and potentially not even that if you roll out carrier-grade NAT.
You're referencing a bunch of stuff that doesn't have anything to do with either of our comments. Are you sure you replied to the right comment?
For whatever it's worth, this is exactly why we use Kubernetes. The original idea behind our startup was to help sysadmins / programmers learn Kubernetes in a useful / friendly way. We've pivoted quite a bit to focus on self-hosting, but the original idea is still there: We try extremely hard to use and expose to users only industry standards so they can learn real tech skills instead of just how to use our UI. Our UI tries really hard, for example, to give a `kubectl` equivalent to whatever view you're looking at at the bottom of the screen.

I will say however, that we've entirely stopped defending that it runs Kubernetes. There is a subset of people who hate that or want to debate it endlessly. It's not germane to what we're trying to accomplish - it's just a small benefit to a niche group of users. We could have just as easily based ourselves on Docker instead.
If that endpoint was made public by mistake, anyone using it might be held responsible.
Imagine someone offers you a free 1-year lease of a storage unit. You accept and go put some stuff in it, Six months later, you go to get something, and find that they put an extra lock on it and now you can't get to your stuff anymore. Should you just accept that your stuff is gone now, since the unit was free in the first place?
>People want different treatment as a result of their different values and life experiences that they gather from their cultures

Yes exactly. A white kid adopted by someone in a village in Kenya isn't going to want to be treated like an Englishman, and a black kid who grew up his whole life in a Montana country town full of white people with white parents (probably) doesn't want to be treated differently than the rest of the people in the town even though he's an entirely different color. "Colorblind" is a good policy in these circumstances.

If someone wants to be treated differently purely on their color I will wait for them to tell me (individually tell me, not someone else of the same color to tell me) and presume not otherwise.
From this and the other comment, it looks like I wasn't clear about talking about SMB/ME rather than a seed/pre-seed startup, which I understand can be confusing given that we're on HN.

I can tell you that I've never seen a company run out of money from going cloud-first (sample size of over 200 that I worked with directly). I did see multiple businesses scale down their consumption to near-zero and ride out the pandemic.

The answer to scaling problems being unpleasant enough to put the business in danger is yes, but that was also during the pandemic when companies needed to make pivots to slightly different markets. Doing this was often unaffordable from an implementation cost perspective at the time when it had to happen. I've seen acquisitions fall through due to an inability to meet technical requirements because of stateful monstrosities. I've also seen top-line revenue get severely impacted when resource contention causes outages.

The only times I've seen 'cloud-native' truly backfire were when companies didn't have the technical experience to move forward with these initiatives in-house. There are a lot of partners in the cloud implementation ecosystem who will fleece you for everything you have. One such example was a k8s microservices shop with a single contract developer managing the infra and a partner doing the heavy lifting. The partner gave them the spiel on how cloud-native provides flexibility and allows for reduced opex and the customer was very into it. They stored images in a RDBMS. Their database costs were almost 10% of the company's operating expenses by the time the customer noticed that something was wrong.
Yep. A middle class black American doesn't deserve a handout more than a working class Ukrainian kid with cleaners for parents.
That's a good point about cloud services being retail. My company gets a very large discount from one of the most well-known cloud providers. This is available to everybody - typically if you commit to 12 months of a minimum usage then you can get substantial discounts. What I know is so far everything we've migrated to the cloud has resulted in significantly reduced total costs, increased reliability, improved scalability, and is easier to enhance and remediate. Faster, cheaper, better - that's been a huge win for us!
Kids used to call the act of editing Facebook posts via the element inspector and taking a screenshot "hacking". Considering the triviality of most web3 exploits, I think the descriptor still applies.
Brainteasers are dead. The parent's point that the industry follows Google's lead is a cogent observation however.
> If someone thinks their only chance of going to college is Yale, they're wrong.

They're not wrong, that's literally the lived experience of many, many folks. This is exactly the problem; you're not taking the perspective of people who actually are discriminated against in America.

And I didn't say "of going to college". This isn't just about college, it's about opportunities for a high degree of success in a person's life. Yale doesn't represent "college" it represents "prestigious college that will open doors for the rest of their life".

Some folks get one of those shots. Yale doesn't represent that to you, but it represents that to some folks, and if they're qualified for admittance, it makes perfect sense to prefer them over people who will get other shots at a highly successful life.

Not knowing all of the details of your situation, this seems like the kind of thing working agreements are supposed to help with.
If you can get the parties involved together, you may be able to come up with some explicit guidelines for communication. For example: “assume good intent.” This would apply to you (you will not assume that your CS are personally attacking you) and them (they will not assume you are indifferent to the customer). If either party steps out of line, you can come back to the working agreements, point out that this is not how any of you want to work, and hopefully correct the behavior, or else resort to discipline in the case of repeated violations.
Hope this helps.

most type 2 diabetics can eliminate high blood sugar by simply eating less than 50 grams per day of carbs and exercising every day....do that and blood sugar returns to safe levels...but the establishment taught for decades that grains & carbs are the base of the food pyramid...and if we have learned anything over the last decade, it is that once the establishment settles on a particular narrative, it will defend that narrative with any and all necessary means...thus, the low carb cure for type 2 diabetes has been attacked by establishment forces and their many minions
IMO anything that uses a database is overkill for a static site, even if it's user-friendly.
The whole argument comes down to bursty vs. non-bursty workloads. What type of workloads make up the fat part of the distribution? If most use cases are bursty (which I would argue they are) then the author's argument only applies for specific applications. Therefore, most people do indeed see cost benefits from the cloud.
There were at least 16k detainments [^1] of anti-war protesters in Russia since the start of the invasion, most of them in the first month of the invasion if I remember correctly. Somewhere in the first 2 months it became more risky to protest the war - fines starting at 50k rubles (~1 median monthly salary) and the risk of criminal persecution increased (in addition a high risk of being fired from a job).

What they most likely found was that the American Psychological Association first cautioned against using the term as a synonym for sexual orientation in the 1990s, the APA style guide has said so since 2003 if not earlier and the NYT and Associated Press followed suit in 2013. But perhaps chronology is also part of the conspiracy against some withdrawn and promptly-forgotten comment of Amy Coney Barrett's. A person who US liberals obviously had no other objections to whatsoever!

You can quote all the "anti-woke" attack blogs you like (I hear there's a subgenre dedicated to quoting words that rappers use to argue that everyone else should use them too!), but when you insist that the issue was invented to trap Amy Coney Barrett some thirty years later, you're only fooling yourself.

(as an aside, it's amazing that when you start putting sexual orientation on an equal footing in terms of mutability and importance and civil rights implications to your preference for chocolate you can't grasp that might actually be the bit gay people don't like...)
The lawsuit that they are filing an Amicus in was brought by an Asian-American organization for the purpose of getting Harvard to stop specifically discriminating against Asian-Americans.

Therefore the brief is arguing for racism and discrimination against Asians.

What is particularly galling is that the argument in the brief is defending the university's ability to pick students who have been affected by their race. Thereby implicitly arguing that Asian-Americans have NOT been affected by their race.

Meanwhile, back in reality, hate crimes against Asian-Americans are up over 300% nationwide: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/anti-asian-hate-c....

Optane was still cheaper than DRAM modules of same capacity. And were twice larger for same price.

Really, I dream of Optane as a "super-fast swap drive" that "extends" RAM (that is what some manufacturers do with NVMe this days). Then it will be ease to have notebook with 256G "RAM" with actual 16G of DRAM and 256G Optane swap. Most users will not notice any difference compared to actual 256G DRAM since Optane is fast enough to make application switch fast. At least my Google Chrome and Intellij Idea could live in peace in such setup, each eating many gigabytes "RAM" since I don't code and watch sites at the same microsecond.

My employer (a tiny company) sued another company because they owed them a bunch of money. We are in the right, legally and ethically. The amount of time, stress and money it takes to sue someone, even if you are 100% in the right, even when the law is 100% on your side - it is insane.

I assume the issue is trains that aren't electric, and I assume even most electric trains don't have significant energy storage on the train itself, so might not really have much to do with energy from breaking.

It probably especially makes sense that freight trains running off fossil fuels won't even consume much electricity at all (just enough to operate instruments in the locamotive?), though presumably passenger trains could make use of it.

Maybe there are barriers to electrification of some trains in some areas.
