He is just saying if you have local fiber and its priced similarly or cheaper it is illogical to get starlink, and he is right in almost all instances. This isnt a formal discussion,you kinda need to cut people slack and give benefit of the doubt where there is ambiguity or ask for clarification before going attack dog.
The problem is not supply, it's demand. Every american wants to be the biggest vehicle on the road, and can't stand the mild inconvenience of sitting in a car, so their vehicle must be as large, spacious, comfortable, and luxurious as an expensive couch.

Toyota could bring back the tiny 90s tundra, and they would sell a tiny tiny number of them. That's why the modern corolla is as large as the 2000s camry.

The "dead internet" talk mostly revolves around fake user-generated content and how prevalent it is. Half of these comments could be written by bots, and most of them would never be detected.

Real people can still be found and connected with, you just have to do it in a more organic way. Message your favorite musician, join a group with some mutual friends, or just play an online game and talk to the people you meet. You'll be able to find like-minded people and won't have to think about asking "is the person I'm responding to even real"

What data are you referring to?

My original comment was based on anecdotal data tho. None of the people I know that refused the Covid vaccine (initially) had any issues taking other vaccines. One friend for example who was a vocal critic of Covid vaccines, didn’t have any issues vaccinating his child this year against other things.

Basically they wanted a vaccine with a “track record” was my conclusion.

When you lump these type of people with people who think the vaccines are from the deep state or stuff like that, you can’t create good and effective policies IMO.
No, this would be disastrous for cities. Downtown businesses depend heavily on foot traffic, and you’re going to get a lot more of that if there are people living nearby.
Same, everyone has this loaded idea that as soon as you visit a city out of the US it's a utopia. "Walkable-city" often means taking 2-4 different forms of transportation to get from A to B, and if you're going to 5 different places in a day before coming home(say class, the gym, the grocery store, a specific store for that one thing you need today, then dinner with a friend) it means carrying 1-2 bags with you all day and making 15 different metro line transfers, buses, etc and dealing with inclement weather and rush hour crowds where you can't get a seat. Have you ever been in a city with one of the largest metro systems in the world and had to physically push and get pushed into a rush hour metro car that's so packed you can't even get your phone out of your pocket on a ~38C day?

I have a feeling a lot of this sentiment is driven by digital nomads who booked a hostel next to a wework and do nothing but go to a coworking space for half the day then sightseeing and get the impression that everyone lives like this. I've stayed in more than one world class city and if you can afford it you eventually just start taking a lot more ubers than you'll care to admit.
The only way you'd come to that conclusion is if you'd never been to the PRC.

The SDN list has nothing, and I do mean nothing, to do with internet censorship.
Its costs something, yes - but the fact that effectively the entire professional development community is well aware of Heroku's offerings, have had good experiences with them, and most have direct knowledge of how it all works is also worth something.

I'd wager that's worth significantly more than the few seconds of compute most of us have gotten in exchange.
Many trolls like I think Myhrvold's have something close to a new shell LLC for each major patent and sometimes it can be hard to link it all together (the recent changes to LLC/corporate ownership privacy should help here). It can be hard to even know their full portfolio.

> I see it's common in America to conflate race and nationality.

Please don't base your perceptions of America on a Vice article. Clearly non-white people are capable of speaking in an "American" accent too, but Vice is the sort of news outlet that must make things divisive on racial lines as often as possible.
Sounds interesting. Can you elaborate?
it was announced in a very political way at a time when everyone was trying to earn social points by supporting the other side. there was no mention of downranking disinformation released by the other side. i had been using ddg since probably 2017 and i switched that day.
Yeah, I have yet to live in an apartment with a sense of community. In the apartments I lived in, neighbors barely acknowledged each other. I lived in one complex for six years and couldn't tell you the names of any neighbor: most folks just quietly walked in, shut their door, and stayed inside. When I moved to the suburbs, I actually had more community, as neighbors actually came to introduce themselves when we moved in, and they still happily make small talk when we cross paths.
YMMV, I got promotions and leadership roles because I wasn't afraid to rock the boat, within reason.
Tha's 'cause we seen it a'fore an' unnerstan' contex' clooooz, not 'cause izuh ac'rate phraaaze. (<- approximately my hick-ass "white" accent & dialect if I let myself slip, or have been hanging out around family too much)

Meanwhile, most of us white folk have to work to "sound white", too, when we want/need to, because our usual accent doesn't "sound white" in the way that's meant. In plenty of cases this is quite far from our ordinary, or at least childhood (some of us all but obliterate it by adulthood, on purpose) accent. It's a poor term in this kind of context, and better ones exist.

"General American is thus sometimes associated with the speech of North American radio and television announcers, promoted as prestigious in their industry,[45][46] where it is sometimes called "Broadcast English"[47] "Network English",[4][48][49][50] or "Network Standard".[2][49][51] Instructional classes in the United States that promise "accent reduction", "accent modification", or "accent neutralization" usually attempt to teach General American patterns.[citation needed] Television journalist Linda Ellerbee states that "in television you are not supposed to sound like you're from anywhere",[52] and political comedian Stephen Colbert says he consciously avoided developing a Southern American accent in response to media portrayals of Southerners as stupid and uneducated.[45][46]"

(Wikipedia, "General American English")

That's what's intended. Not "white". They surely aren't trying to make them sound like most of the American white people I know who haven't deliberately trained away their natural accent & dialect—and I don't even live in the South!
Good riddance! Should say: Heroku definitely busted my interest in web dev and "git-push-deploy" magic. Just develop a simple app, put it on Heroku and it's alive! That was so cool in good old days! Thanks for the memories.

We are in agreement. In the past, natural resources were important for New York's population growth. Today, they are irrelevant, and the value of New York is in the network effects, which are due to the large population. "This is satire, right?" is a funny thing to write in a comment that doesn't contradict what I wrote at all.
If suburbs were truly paying for themselves, cities would love to incorporate them. As they do in countries where transit oriented suburbs actually do pay for themselves.

The truth is that row houses is the lowest density that still can just barely pay for maintenance of the roads, sewers, water lines, gas lines, electricity lines, and everything else.

Any lower density than that, and the taxes of the residents can't cover the actual costs anymore.
There are 66K thousand forks of https://github.com/nightscout/cgm-remote-monitor and I suspect the vast majority are using the free heroku version, so I would guess there are going to be quite a few unhappy diabetics!
It doesn't require a login when accessed using a private browsing window or a browser profile that hasn't been logged into Heroku before.
This was my experience to a tee. I had been commuting about 80 minutes a day for work. Then we had the pandemic. I have been at a fully distributed company, and I love it. You would have to pay me an extraordinary amount to give up the quality of life I have working from home.
It's not a prerequisite in that case either, as long as all possible execution paths fall within the time budget you're fine. Making the execution path deterministic is one way to do that and makes analysis simpler, but it's not the only way.
What do you mean by “meaningfully equal?”

It strikes me as a tricky set of not always terribly related concepts. As a Christian I believe all human beings are equal in inherent dignity. As an American who likes the Anglo-American legal tradition I believe that all people ought to be equal before the law, even though that’s observably not the case. As someone who has performed hundreds of tech interviews and worked in this industry a long time, I don’t believe people are remotely close to equal in developer ability or productivity and I don’t see any way they could be made to be without bringing high performers down to the lowest common denominator.
look man these paperclips aren't going to maximize themselves.
Sounds like Minimum Code (building) isn't good enough.
Reminds of the Geifer grizzly. It raided human dwellings for food, signing its death warrant.
It wore a radio collar, so it seems like it shouldn't have been a problem to track down. Yet, it evaded hunters for over a year, while still raiding houses for food, without ever being seen.
It learned it could cross into Canada for safety when the pressure from the hunters tracking it got to be too much, and then return and invade more houses.

Eventually, it was shot and killed by a random hunter in Canada who had no idea who that bear was. The bear didn't know Canadians could also be dangerous, otherwise it probably wouldn't have let anyone see it there either...

I think a lot of animals are probably very good at what they've evolved to do. Bears are great at tracking and surviving being tracked (probably more typically by bigger bears); reading about it felt like getting a glimpse into another animal's domain and being totally outmatched.
Interesting bit about how to “yak shave” effectively. It can easily turn into time wasted without delivering value. I like the idea of not going too broad or too deep. And keep the number of “yaks” low. Will be interested to see if they find this method effective.

I read it and assumed Portland. Courts have been letting people walk for things like race-based hate crime (think assaulting a young girl on her bike for being Japanese American).

Another example, police arrest a guy for assault, jail/courts let him out before figuring out who he is.

Edit: I’m an urbanist and I want nearly everyone to live in a city; but that isn’t a reasonable ask until cities are safe, clean, quiet (as can be; aka rules for noise pollution are enforced), and furnished with usable amenities like parks. It pains me to say it, but the current trend for US cities is not it.
Take a look at European rural areas some time.

1. Commercial production of food and timber begins literally at the city line around most European cities. There's not the ring of suburban hellsscape. One one block, there's a city. And the next, farms begin.

2. Rural European villages are also compactly built. If you work for farmers or just want to live among farmers, you still might not need a car for your daily necessities.

3. Even if you are a farmer, you have the option of living in the village and commuting to your fields. Your machine barn is also right near the village, which means you are not the only person watching it day to day. And since you commute to your fields, leasing them to your neighbor for a season is easily done as a matter of course. Want to take a sabbatical? Walk next door, sign some papers. Done.

Europe does farm country better too.
Weird, I don't remember ever having class on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Easter. Funny how it's only an actionable offense worthy of litigation when it's in support of non-Christian religions.

I'm not surprised. Maybe if they called it "Midsemester Break", the way the others are called Winter Break and Spring Break, it would be passable.
Yes, it’s just because it’s a traditional amount. They picked a number at which people who are inclined to feel guilty about not doing enough should stop feeling guilty.

My company been doing this for years. My company administers the survey via a 3rd party who anonymizes the data (in fact there's no way to trace the responses back to you). Once the survey is taken, it's primarily 1-5 gradings, the gradings are made available to everybody, while written responses are not. You don't even have to write a response, you can just do the 1-5 gradings. Written responses are only used to clarify an issue - don't treat it as an opportunity to gripe and complain, you're being constructive!

All the teams then get a summary of their results and go over them and decide what would be best for them to focus on in the upcoming year.

The big thing for us has been discussing what the 1-5 mean, especially the 4 or 5. A lot of people are hesitant to grade something at a 5 because they can think of ways to make that better - but you should already be in an environment of continual improvement so you know you can always make something better. Therefore for us a 5 means it's going well and there isn't anything to address that the normal continual improvement process wouldn't address. A 4 then means mostly well, but it's not quite where it should be, a 3 means its well enough, and a 2 or under means here's an opportunity to improve things that will have a big impact on our processes.

It's all about identifying your sore spots and where to expend your effort at getting better.
The only 'good' intent in science is to pursue empirical truth based on the application of the scientific method. Every other intent is questionable, and certainly if one is following it, soon deviates from the realm of 'science'.

Cars are no longer the only way to bring in goods from outside walking distance. Online orders can also supplant the need for cars in suburbs, while producing a significantly more options than a mom&pop grocery store.

And with Covid restrictions and work-from-home, deliveries and online ordering were cemented as normal behavior.
I'm not familiar with that scanner, however that sounds like a scanner issue. I haven't had that issue with GS-128 with the couple scanners I & colleagues have tried. I did a google search and in the Amazon reviews there is someone purporting to be from the manufacturer saying to email them to learn how to make it work, with regards to FNC1.
Science must always report the truth. What was the old saying? "That which can be destroyed by truth, should be"?

Whenever science attempts to prop up political regimes by obscuring the truth, then tragedy and travesty occurs.

It’s not a 1:1 experience, but I’ve enjoyed it as an alternative to Heroku for sure. Alternatively, you could spin up a server and install dokku which is pretty close to a shipping experience, but still requires some maintenance and hand holding.

This would not only destroys woke research but pro-woke as well because if you are guaranteeing publication bias you can't trust the research either way.

This is also a boon to racists who never have to defend themselves against science again.

>This is worse than religion because it’s pretending to be rational. And many many people will be fooled.

I hate to make the comparison because it's such a trope, but, IMO this is one of the most insidious things the Nazis did to indoctrinate the population:

They did things like send people into schools and they would cherry-pick the weakest, least intelligent, least-liked Jewish kid they could find and set him alongside the most athletic, attractive, smart, well-liked Aryan looking kid.

They'd bring them both up in front of the class and from that point on, they'd use "scientific" discussion and observation of their qualities to convince the kids that the Aryan kids were superior in every way. I'll tell you what, I was a pretty savy independent thinker and empathetic kid, but I really think I might have fallen for that type of technique, masquerading as science.

Of course I'm referring to the address I lived at in those places. I'm mostly complaining that Zillow's built-in "walkability" scoring based on addresses is abysmally inaccurate for the places I've lived in.
What you said was that this was a US program to intentionally reduce population growth. I see no basis for that claim. Feel free to retract that claim or provide actual evidence.

You can certainly suggest that a result of family planning activities such as birth control, condoms, abortion, or abstinence result in slower or no population growth, but I do not see this as the primary purpose of these tools/activities, which is to enable people to decide when they are ready to have children.

This is the important point from your link, which naturally you took out a single quote out of context either out of malice and bad intentions, or because you simply didn't read further. I'll assume the latter.

> Planned Parenthood believes that all people — of every race, religion, gender identity, ability, immigration status, and geography — are full human beings with the right to determine their own future and decide, without coercion or judgement, whether and when to have children.

> Margaret Sanger’s racism and belief in eugenics are in direct opposition to Planned Parenthood’s mission. Planned Parenthood denounces Margaret Sanger’s belief in eugenics. Further, Planned Parenthood denounces the history and legacy of anti-Blackness in gynecology and the reproductive rights movement, and the mistreatment that continues against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color in this country.

The fact that they call out their history (which somehow still lacks being a US program) and are explicit about what they stand for and what they don't stand for is admirable and honest. You cherry-picking a quote isn't.
> Not once in my career have I ever suffered for an honest assessment given humbly

Same here. People also learn they can trust you to tell them the truth and help them figure out a solution.

However, I have a low tolerance for bad work environments so YMMV but if you can't be honest with people or trust them, you probably want to look for an exit.
As a CTO of a company which has a very similar situation - I can fully agree on that.

We already started looking into a possible migration to another cloud provider.
The biggest decision point would be a similar developer experience as with git push heroku master.
Ok, let's see how well this comment ages. I predict in 5-10 years max we will get an "Our incredibly journey" post or a "Heroku is now Salesforce Cloud" (if that name isn't already taken, I have no clue, "Safeforce" is an immediate "avoid! red flag!" for me, I don't follow that company). Heroku was amazing when it first came out but it squandered the lead it had and hasn't done anything interesting for a long time.

As with all "let's squeeze all we can out of this" you will continue to make money for a number of years no doubt but you've just destroyed a major onboarding ramp (free tier), your security appears to be a joke from the outside looking in, and your product has been effectively on life support for many years now. A public roadmap is too little, too late. You've lost the trust of developers and it's only going to be downhill from here.

> This does have tradeoffs, but getting the rug pulled out is not one of them - the opposite.

I'm sure the developers with apps on the free tier don't agree and I'd bet good money they will never touch Heroku again if they have their way. I know I won't.
