Interesting, I interpreted the question completely differently, i.e. why use database at all?

Maybe the wedding page has forms, needs to store data and author is most familiar with Java or maybe they are getting creative and are calling third party services for convenience, lots of reasons. A simpler solution could be nginx/cgi and a local file for the DB, or cloudfare workers(you can render HTML from them) and their key/value storage.
I use and like the service for what it does. Has anybody found a competing service?
Think in the minimum container you need to run some Python code (>300MB?). Now, compare that to just the Python interpreter compiled into Wasm (25MB). If you need deploy that into different nodes, that's a huge difference.

Also, Wasm modules don't have cold-starts as containers.

Regarding running untrusted code, ask the folks at AWS, Azure or Google Cloud dealing with that...

"Lyft has since ditched the facial hair, but it hasn’t matured much geographically. It remains a North American business predominantly focused on the U.S. market. And while Uber has enjoyed the Covid-precipitated boom in food delivery over the past few years, Lyft remains largely a rideshare company."

"But Lyft’s total revenue is forecast by analysts to remain less than a third of Uber’s global ride-hailing business alone this year"

"Not surprisingly, Uber is racing to broaden its horizons, adding taxi and other travel bookings as well as alcohol and grocery delivery. For now, Lyft is still chugging along the same beaten path."

Lyft is a purely rideshare company in only the US market. Uber is doing all kinds of different shit, globally. Yet the article makes it seem strange that Lyft is "eating Uber's dust", when they are barely comparable.

What scares me is trying to set up Emacs on Windows. I use Mac at home, iDevices everywhere, and Windows at work. I've heard too many stories about poor performance on Windows, as well as perceived difficulties (at least on my part) getting emacs and emacserver and all that set up on Windows. I want to like it; I just don't have the time or energy.
> but isn’t targeted ads better than wholesale bombardment?

Better by what measure? Not at the expense of privacy. Where is the data going? Who is it being sold to?

Sure, American TV ads are annoying, but they're predictable and sometimes entertaining. American TV ads are so inefficient that they need to work for your attention.

One issue with targeting is receiving antidepressant ads, knowing the algorithm knows that you're depressed. Or receiving baby ads when the algorithm knows you were expecting, but doesn't know you had a miscarriage. There are countless examples of targeting being a danger to the public as well, being used for very effective misinformation campaigns.

Linear doesn't make sense in the very long term.

Anyway, this is all besides the point. Now that governments have figured out they can colour coins these types of projects are doomed. Once you have a poisonable ledger and powerful entities see it in their interests to poison some of the branches of the tree then there is no actual advantage of using it. Not in the long term, I mean.

But how to get the money when VC money ended? The only way I see is to be more efficient on spending. Hint: taxi companies don't need 10k+ software engineers.

So their market is a race to the bottom. Which is a indicator of an effective market. Only non-effective markets have large profit margins.
I agree that sticking to what the founding father's said will greatly roll back civil rights, but this is what conservatives frequently claim they want to do.

Probably in this case the line employees are, on the most part, better informed than the management: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33067293

And the fact, at LANL, that the safety team left en masse when the management wouldn't let them implement what they considered to be proper safety measures, suggests that the employees in question were in a good position to not only understand but also reject the risk.

In general, line workers are the ones whose incentives are best aligned with safety, since they're usually the ones who die (or, as you pointed out, suffer serious injuries). Sometimes they make bad decisions (as seems to have happened in this case) and sometimes they lack the information necessary — often, as you point out, because they're being lied to. Sometimes regulation helps improve that situation (it has been very useful in extorting MSDSes from material suppliers, for example) but I think much more often it results in the sort of time-wasting box-checking exercise referenced in the other comment, motivated by management ass-covering, not real safety improvements.

Usually, what improves workplace safety is decentralization of control (devolution of decision-making power down to line workers), freedom of information, high-quality coworkers, and an overall workplace culture that values safety and, as I said at the beginning of the thread, ceaselessly seeks ways to improve it. And if that makes me sound like a "sovereign citizen", so be it — even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

For the record, I've only experienced a significant workplace injury once, and the resulting disability was small enough I don't notice it most days, though the scar is obvious. I got fired for it.
Size Matters: The Snipex Alligator Is Ukraine’s Anti-Everything Rifle
I'd never heard about this type of disorder until I did one of those "what personality disorder do you have" and it told me I had this. After reading up on it I reckon the diagnosis, despite coming from an internet quiz, was pretty accurate. It seems virtually invisible compared to the "fashionable" disorders we hear so much about online, that have vocal advocates and even clout-chasing tiktok'ers. When I read about treatment, I got the impression that it's considered to be untreatable and neither doctors/sufferers not are that bothered. But I wonder if that, and its "invisibility", isn't to some extent due to the nature of the problem.
> The most obvious reason I can think for not flipping the switch is there is none. Still very curious when, if ever, the market will care.

This is exactly correct. If they could have, it would be profitable by now.

A lot of these large tech companies simply act as wealth transfer vehicles, enriching a few key players. When private, the insane valuations drive ever larger VC funding rounds with early investors cashing out with money from later rounds. Leadership teams take home millions in compensation and equity. All of them have a huge incentive to keep the fiction going.

By the time the company goes public, the last rats leave the sinking ship with public money and the company is now a zombie. Everyone left is just scavenging the scraps leftover until a few unlucky souls are left holding the bag.

The thing is I can't convince myself that this is meaningfully different than a classic ponzi scheme. I guess because they have a "product" and and a revenue stream. But their business is basically selling $1.00 for $0.90 -- no surprise that their volume is insane.
If you think it’s redpillers who ruined the conversation around men’s sexual experiences - that shows just how well the mainstream media is at influencing you.

Redpill was a niche subculture no one knew about (and mostly still doesn’t) - just like incels. It was the mainstream media who made RP, incels, and general lack of sexual experiences for men to be the next 9/11.

It’s hard to have a conversation about it because women don’t fucking care. You know why? It’s not their problem and it never affects them directly. It also means often that the solution involves women changing and that’s sexist, sweaty.

On average, as related to HN, you are probably not wrong. I still hate averages, because they tend to hide the reality ( and individual plight ) based on its extremes. I have no real data to back it up other than anecdata.

I count myself as ridiculously lucky that I am where I am doing what I do. Here I am mid-day, discussing non-work related items in my down time. I have the flexibility ( and a pet and a kid although that is basically like having two kids ), but I am unable to dismiss the idea that it is not just me factor that got me to that point. Looking back, there were tons of things that could have gone wrong that would put me on the wrong track ( and as is often with life, some things did ).

Otoh, I am not that much smarter than my sister and yet we are in very different places despite having the same upbringing, access and so on. You could argue that she is not on HN, but I would say that is a self-selecting process..
Don't forget sea mines. We have the ability to deliver them covertly by submarine (some can swim to find their assigned resting place), or overtly by aircraft, a whole bunch at once. Some are able to be selectively armed or disarmed.

Offensive mining will, in my estimation, play a major role in any South China Sea conflict to come.

No, they're just different words and different times. Schizoids have a false mask they use to interact with others. If we could have, we would have medicated them back then so that they're always presenting with the false mask instead of their "wrong" asocial presentation. That's what ADHD is. We didn't suddenly stop having schizoids and start having a bunch of ADHD people.

If you just want stuff to scroll, sure, but it's got a lot of features:

I just know that when I went to try to make a marquee using some of these features a couple years ago, I couldn't find anything pre-made that could do what I wanted, which was nothing more than what <marquee> could do, so it was going to be a lot of custom work. Which surprised me, I expected someone to have perfectly re-created the whole tag just for giggles if nothing else. There were tons of partial solutions, but nothing that was a complete replacement.
I'd argue it's prosocial to mislead ad spenders into thinking they are reaching more humans than they actually are.
My anecdotal experience last week is that Lyft's experience has fallen off a cliff. Even in SF it often takes 10 minutes to get a ride (not including the time for the driver to pick me up). Sometimes Lyft just leaves me hanging and can't find me any rides whatsoever. I'm gradually switching to Uber simply out of lack of confidence that Lyft will get me a ride in the timeframes I've been conditioned to expect based on past experience.

The story you're referring to was about a CEO who was looking for some relief from burnout and depression. He wanted the structure as an antidote to a specific feeling, not as a general desire.

All else being equal, I think the vast majority of people would prefer self-direction and autonomy to rigorous top-down order. People's choice and actions throughout the ages seem to reinforce this. I wouldn't mistake someone's personal choice to temporarily self-impose some structure as an example of "grass is always greener".
This is fascinating.

After speaking to many sales reps for ad networks I have decided to to so,however, these Cpa deals have negative value, say if you provide a service that will or with not have better customer life time value than the cost for the cpa, what would be a useful idea about that?

He is presenting it as hilarious and funny. That's the context he is sticking to. I think dealing with all of this is taking time out of his life. Not funny after all. Still, someone has to do it.

I've seen this tried. It required a considerable investment in tooling and people to run it, because the dev teams just want to run their apps and don't want to manage accounts.

And that's just the management complexity -- cross-account network adds a ton of complexity to other stuff, including VPC management, transit gateways, and sometimes DNS.

Compared to having fewer accounts, the difference in complexity is enormous.
SPD shares more similarities to Narcissitic Personality Disorder than it does with ADHD -- not in terms of effect and imposition on other people, but rather in the lived experience of self and other, self and world. I don't think SPD (or NPD) are something you can medicate.

You are right - current notary system may not be optimal for this use case. What I meant to say was that in my understanding, my main issue with 3rd parties such as OnFido etc is my lack in trusting them with my information and secondly storing that info in a central repository. If a bad entity gets access to that database, they now have very detailed information about me.

I would rather prefer a decentralized & secure way that can be accesses via an API by companies such as privacy.com etc. The distributed piece is solved by Notaries. Could we learn something from how the notary system works that can be leveraged to build out a modern distributed ID verification system.
The killer feature of AWS is that they've broken almost nothing since first launching over 15 years ago. Their commitment to keeping old stuff working is truly amazing.

They’re not complaining, they’re advertising their own (paid) service (which serves Google results programatically) while at the same times being able to point to customers why they’re getting fewer results than a regular Google search (they aren’t, because Google’s number doesn’t reflect what you can look at).

Software engineer with full-stack experience.

Recently working on original projects (https://xtao.org, https://jevko.org) on my own, before that explored my entrepreneurial impulse, before that tried my luck at a startup working remotely on a productivity app, experiencing turbulence, before that worked part remote part onsite for a nice location technology corporation, and some more corporations onsite before that, one doing outsourcing for the automotive industry, one R&D for healthcare. Haven't really found my place out there yet -- but would love something stable, interesting, that pays the bills, and allows me to freely work on my projects.

My interests include syntax, data formats, structured communication, functional programming languages, web applications and frameworks, and interactive applications, such as simulations or computer games. I am open to exploring new areas, especially at the intersection of art, science, and spirit, such as the AI/machine learning space.
As a former driver, I concur that Lyft is better than Uber for a couple of reasons: customer service and serving the needs of the poor. I was able to actually get a human at Lyft to talk to several times to resolve issues in favor of the customer. The bill was corrected on the spot. I was never able to get a human at Uber for any reason at any time.

For the poor, I did a lot of runs taking older low income patients to dialysis clinics. Several rides were set up before hand where I took mentally disabled people to clinics (I was instructed not to drop them off in between home and the clinic if they requested.) Admittedly, Lyft is not a charity, so they're probably making good government money, but I like that Lyft made the effort to help the less fortunate and gave me the opportunity to feel like I was doing something that mattered.
