The problem is not just google's algorithm but also the fact that people are not sharing useful information the same way they used to. These days when I'm trying to hack smarthome stuff or looking for advice on 3D printing something or software limitation workarounds the best I can hope for is a subreddit, otherwise the knowledge is hidden on a discord server after I "join the community" for the 98343789th time. I can't just read a 10 year old forum thread where people talked each other through solving it, I have to join the discord and figure out which channel to ask my question in and do some dance with frog memes and people react to my question with an emoji of a toothless man laughing before we can talk shop.
Why would that be funny? I just wonder how these people have no sense of embarrassment. I suspect part of the reason is that isolated communities encourage this kind of behaviour.
An NUC or similar SFF desktop PC seem to be pretty close to your requirements. Without an optical drive and without any spinning rust media, they're pretty durable. I use a lot of fanless PCs from OnLogic, Cincoze, and Neousys in industrial control panels...they have 'rugged' models that are designed to mount inside heavy equipment or prototype vehicles that you could probably use as a hammer, but even a consumer NUC will be fine in a backpack.

The form factor is typically more boxy, like 5x5x2" rather than 9x12x1", so they'll fit easily into a backpack but not so well in a briefcase. You can get them with laptop processors and passive cooling or the worst of both worlds - a whiny little centrifugal laptop fan, or you can get a luxuriously quiet 140mm desktop fan, desktop-grade processor and graphics that will blow any ultrabook out of the water.

However, they're not typically oriented for single-cable-connectivity. Why is it such a big deal to plug in one cable for the power supply and either a couple for the mouse, keyboard, and monitor, or one for the Thunderbolt hub?
It sounds like none of my or your business. Neither of us has any legitimate interest in them other than do they rob anyone? Do they burn down houses? Do they perform at some job and pay taxes? If they spend all their money on prostitutes, it's no more your business than if they spend it all on video games or cars or rare stamps.

> A low amount of education is not really related to genetics

Intelligence in adulthood is overwhelmingly heritable. Environmental and upbringing effects are small. Twin studies, unrelated sibling studies, etc, demonstrate very large effects.

(Oddly enough, intelligence in childhood does seem to be very influenced by environment, but by adulthood your genetic destiny takes hold).

Intelligence is also the biggest single predictor of your child's educational attainment-- even bigger than SES.

Of course, it's not really clear what one can do with this information that is both ethical and useful.

A confound: severe neglect and abuse is known to permanently reduce intelligence, and this is much less represented in adoption studies because of parental screening and social worker follow-up.
Vulnerability in Apache Pulsar allowed manipulator-in-the-middle attacks
Condoms (and other forms of birth control or protection) seem much more effective than conservative morals at preventing diseases and unwanted children. Take a look at teen birth rate [1] (as a proxy for unwanted or at least unplanned pregancies) and HIV diagnosis rates [2] per US state. The trend seems pretty clear: conservative, religious states do worse at these metrics than liberal, more secular states. There are of course more variables than that, but at least religion and traditional family values don't seem to be helping very much.

> 100%. One of the universal curses people throw at each other is implying that someone's mother is a prostitute, or that they are a product of extramarital sex, implying the promiscuity of the mother. This all is hand-in-hand with the implied comtempt towards women of course.

Continuing what you said, Google uses macOS and Windows for client machines. That is ok because if Apple or Microsoft were to decide to cut off Google altogether, Google would have bigger problems.

However, I think from a business point of view, this is similar to how so many businesses use cloudinary. Cloudinary is a software as a service company that provides cloud based image and video management services. What if cloudinary kicks you out? There is a lot of custom code out there to interface with cloudinary API. Where do we draw the line between using Cloudinary is ok but Amazon aws lambda is not?

>Why do you call the whole data a sample?

One year is a sample considering that different years have different results and you you pay yearly premiums for pricing.

Another way to think: is there more data for houses burning that are not from 2022?

For example, you claimed 876 structures so far in 2022, but in 2020 there were 11,116 structures damaged or destroyed [1]. In 2021 there were 3629 [2]. See why making claims on one data point is not statistically valid?

A few more years from the same data source:

2012 => 876

2013 => 456

2014 => 471

2015 => 3159

2016 => 1274

2017 => 10280

2018 => 24226

2019 => 732

2020 => 11116

2021 => 3629

Notice any possible trend?

>Why do you call a year incomplete

because

>the fire season is practically over

you answered it: the year is not over. And all examples of past data I just presented had relevant fires well past this date. To expect no more this year ignores demonstrable history.

>your prediction

I made no such prediction.

The mean over the above data (and ignoring the expected and demonstrated upward trend) is 5190, far above your single (incomplete) data point of 876.

So you computed 1 in 228, but the avg above puts the last 10 years (using your math) at 1 in 38. This also ignores that previous years often had less houses in CalFAIR, which makes it even less in your favor.

>I am paying too little for fire insurance seems wrong so far, isn’t it

Go ahead and update your calculation using your method above with this better data and see what you obtain.

"Estranged" can simply be synonymous with "separated", which is a purely legalistic matter of the two no longer behaving as married.

It can also connote that they're not friendly or close. I wouldn't have used it there, but without it it's not clear that they were separated at the time he wrote that letter. I personally would only use "estranged" when the people aren't friendly, but it's not incorrect as written.

Suppose it's challenging why having an anime character next to a blurb of text is embarrassing.
This is what I do. I sync to my NAS, my NAS syncs to my Backblaze B2 with file versioning. My current monthly bill is only $4... I cannot believe how cheap Backblaze has been.

I can even get the B2 URL and share a file anytime I want from inside my NAS.

Is it as easy as Dropbox? No, but I haven't missed using dropbox. I just mount my NAS to my RDP sessions when I need files "synced" between my various computers.
I get totally different vibes from the chat-esque furry avatars, which I see as both an extension of the increasing fluidity of identity on the internet/AFK/remotely and a push for representation and "positive shamelessness" (am I just trying to say "self-acceptence"?). Waifus still come across more ironically, clearly memes in casual settings, and without those aspects of identity and representation. Stuff like VRChat/Vtubers blurs that line and brings identity fluidity back into the picture, but that doesn't feel like what's happening here, nor does it's appearance on literally every page carry the tone of irony needed to combat cringe, but... I kinda like it, and kinda wish it was just totally cool to have a waifu on my site too without having to lean into irony or identity to "justify" it against this cringe instinct. Maybe that instinct comes from a specific subculture on a younger internet which, although still present, need not color the spread of these aesthetics forever. Like rage memes, which come from eg. SA/4c but have been widely adopted to the point of belonging more to "the internet" than specifically to their roots.

That could definitely be partly the case! After reconsidering it's definitely not fair to attribute the regions success entirely to RIM. It also probably has a lot to do with the University of Waterloo, which (being much more recently founded than other Canadian universities) has always had more forward thinking STEM programs and faculty, and also has much better IP protection for students than other schools in the area.
Would that require giving up the access credentials to app-supporting servers or there’s a way to avoid this and make two servers meet “in the middle” with client orchestrating the initial setup (at least with JMAP)?

I self-host and don’t like how way too many client apps deal with credentials in the name of convenience, many without even announcing that they do send them somewhere outside the device. I don’t currently have JMAP but I’m interested in replacing IMAPv4 as soon as something better is ready aka has all the features I use and mobile and desktop clients (I don’t really care about the webapps).
If Germany and Russia were about to kick off negotiations to bring nordstream back online then it would all but confirm that an ally did it (probably America). This would be far more likely to happen next month as Germany really starts to suffer.

I would almost certainly have been comfortable driving it on the remaining lug nuts for a day or two until I could deal with it. The only way I can think of that I'd not just do that would be if it were a 4-stud wheel; anything with five or more studs shouldn't have a problem with one missing.

That said... I'd have wanted to pop into the shop and personally inspect the remaining studs to make sure they weren't on the brink of failure as well.
Apple tends to be overly concerned about every half cent in the bill of materials. This is why many of their accessories have substandard (weak) processors and flopped. HomePod used a 4 year old chip which wasn't very responsive to voice commands.
It is the classical phenomenon of when most people of a distant group are normal, but a minority is peculiar, that you don't notice the normal ones because they are overshadowed by the minority. E.g. when in school, I always remember not wanting to get into trouble with older generations, but then wondering why the younger ones did so when I was older. It is probably the number of trouble-makers didn't change, just that while I was younger I didn't blend out all the normal ones who were my age, which I did when I was older.
How do companies encrypt data? Inside the enclave
Yeah, you need to do calculation of what you are doing right now vs AWS.

If you already have a mature team that is doing well optimising the environment, you have stable demand and no need to develop things rapidly then it is very likely that going cloud is poor choice.

As to "cloud agnostic", don't believe this bullshit. In my opinion most projects fare much better by just letting go of this "cloud agnostic" and just getting tied and locked in to the vendor. It is not like there is a good chance Amazon (or Microsoft or Google for that matter) will suddenly pull a significant price hike or another move out of step with other vendors.

Spending effort on trying to make your app "cloud agnostic" usually ends up with far higher development costs and a chance of failure for no benefit. Embracing one vendor in this case is usually best way to achieve smaller, leaner app that is using the platform well.

It is the same story as with SQL. Trying to use frameworks to keep your app DBMS-agnostic but then nobody ever migrates their apps to another DBMS. And for various good reasons: you hired your staff for their expertise with X, they are used to it, so now going for Y will usually be far higher cost than the benefits.
The alternatives are tremendously more expensive in both time and money (and I’m thinking engineer salaries etc. here, not just monthly service costs).

For most businesses the savings in money and time are worth the risks you pointed out here.

If those risks are too high for you (and fair enough if they are), you’ll pay one way or another to avoid them.
This and only this is the one fact (which I did not know about yesterday) that actually puts Russia in the viable suspects list, which now include:

I think that statement about EC2 is a little too strong. You definitely shouldn't be managing individual EC2 instances in most cases, and you probably shouldn't be deploying directly to EC2. But if you're running EKS (Kubernetes) or ECS (non-k8s containers), then you're probably going to get more bang for your buck with EC2 nodes than Fargate nodes, especially if you have a large cluster.

I agree. As I've just stated in another comment, it's hard to say something with substance about philosophy in general. There are just a lot of different fields with individual axioms and scientific methods.

That said, if these 'languages and meta-languages' fields would have found something viable (usage and usability), eg. a good tool to use, we would already use it.

They saved $800K on their AWS bill, but

- may spend $250K on servers, replaced after 3 years becomes $83k/yr
- may spend $120-250K on extra staff to maintain the infrastructure
- may spend $15K for a cage in a DC

They still save $452K/yr overall (actual savings 1st year only $285K). It's still a savings for sure, but always keep TCO in mind.

The real fun comes later when you outgrow your cage and there's not enough space left in that DC, or they just have shitty service constantly knocking out your racks, and you have to consider splitting your infra between DCs (a huge rewrite) or moving DCs (a huge literal lift and shift). Have been part of both, it's... definitely a learning experience.
A significant amount of people aren't looking at this as an issue of metrics, convenience, economics, or anything of the sort. That's a utilitarian approach. The vast majority of people opposed to legal & regulated prostitution are approaching it from a religious and moral perspective. The Christians that the article rags on believe that the Bible is truth that has been revealed to man by God and that it encourages the civil magistrates to deter sexually perverse behavior of all kinds including but not limited to pornography and prostitution.
developer costs >> infrastructure costs is a shallow way of looking at things.

You should be thinking of dev time as in _investment_ not a cost. Invest developer time into high value activities like creating robust services you own. Not into low value activities like coding against a dozen different proprietary, Amazon owned APIs that can change, go away, and become more expensive any time they feel like it.

I think we might be on the same page here.

Among billions, we are not as unique as we might intuit from our much smaller social circles. Aside from most of us probably having physical doppelgangers out there somewhere by mere chance, I suspect there are also psychological doppelgangers with many of our same traits and disposition, and these thought doppelgangers who were also fed enough of the same material to be thinking similar things.

Sometimes we encounter one of these and have to decide whether they are fast friend, competitor, nemesis, or soul mate!

That's not a paradox. You're not crazy in either case.

Starting in the cloud reduces costs for some strategies by removing necessary engineering. Starting in the cloud increases costs for other strategies by charging too much for commodity offerings.

It's relatively straightforward to make the choice as soon as you put a specific business in the crosshairs.

Strictly speaking this is a joke, but here is my explanation anyway.

If new philosophy requires the study of philosophy, the study of philosophy requires the study of the history of philosophy, and the history of philosophy is increasing linearly with time, so the amount of time required to produce an additional philosophy is proportional the amount of philosophy that exists. The amount of tie to produce X philosophy then is proportional to X^2.
