There's definitely a place for these counterarguments, but I have had Amazon's own consultants tell me that quota issues are exactly the reason they think you should architect to span many Amazon accounts if you're big. There are some quotas they simply can't raise as high as you want them on a per-account basis.

I'm surprised that article doesn't discuss Uber Eats which brings in more revenue that the taxi part (called Mobility by Uber, both are 13b in the quarter that ended June 30, 2022 https://investor.uber.com/news-events/news/press-release-det... ). Lyft doesn't have this revenue.
I think part of that feeling is coming from how we've been socialized in the middle/upper classes to perceive people with lower incomes working more physical jobs than us.

It's no longer acceptable to be snooty towards people in these positions, but we haven't dropped the stigma totally, and now the acceptable way to view + interact with them is to act (in the performative sense, because many of us don't actually know) with deference, assuming that their lives are truly miserable and their dignity is on the line every day they work such jobs. The expectation is that we must feel sorry for them and treat them better than other people because of it, or treat them with kid gloves.

When you adopt such a stance, the idea of someone willingly going and doing one of these terrible no good jobs does seem patronizing -- it's masochistic even, and so is viewed as suspect and "touristy". When someone does such a thing they are "disrespecting themselves" by people with this view. If anyone ever tries to provide and alternative view and tell us that most people's lives in these positions aren't so bad by going and experiencing it themselves, however partially, we heap scorn on them. "They don't know what it's really like, it's horrible what these people have to do." "They have millions of dollars in the bank so their experience can be dismissed." Etc.
Is that different to this law? https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/09/22/indiana-abo...

Regardless of the accuracy of your classification of KiwiFarms, they aren't gone, just moved into the onion. And for conspiracy-minded people that's not a negative sign.

It also introduces readers to the entirety of the uncensored internet all at once, the most 4-chan thing imaginable, which is somewhat counter to the "limit exposure to disinformation" goal being claimed by the original deplatformers.

It's also worth looking around your local area for auction houses selling old hardware, a lot of ex-gov and ex-enterprise hardware gets sold off at these places for pocket change.
What I have an issue with is that Google's numbers change if you click on a few pages of results. Search for a keyword. Go to the bottom and click on the last page of results. Then keep clicking as deep as you can... notice that the number of results for that keyword will change.

For one keyword search query, first it's 9,480, then 11,800 and then 105. Changes if you click on the next page of results (page 2, 3, 4, ... 10, etc.)
I often come up with numerical sequences also involving letters. Like RLT237-b, something like that. Sometimes I'll track down what those mean, and very frequently turn up a toy I had when I was 4, or a window code in the back of an International Harvester. Stuff is down there for all of us, it's just a matter of how to summon it.
In my opinion it's not that impressive either way.

If he did remember it: Seems like it's very common for artists to take mental or physical notes of interesting things they see. He saw the name, associated it with the cemetery, then forgot that it was a real name and place.

If it's a coincidence: Tons of people are buried at churches, that's not unusual. There's a chance there's more than one Eleanor Rigby buried at a church.
> Game journalism has been dead for a long time.

The way I often put it...

Gaming journalists are neither gamers or journalists.

High-quality, factual content is usually boring. Gamers won't read it. So for a journalist to cover gaming, they'll have to resort to making clickbait and ragebait, and at that point, the quality is so low that I don't think it's fair to still call it journalism, as it would be an insult to the word.

Then there's the multitude of journalists that just simply don't understand games. They're so bad at games that you start to wonder if they're even capable of completing 1-1 in Super Mario Bros.

As far as I know, the Emergency Library was a unilateral decision by IA, not a partnership with a consortium of shuttered libraries.

The announcement did mentioned receiving support from other libraries, but it didn't indicate that those libraries owned sufficient copies to cover all CDL usage.

Indeed, if that were the case, I would expect the language to have been very different -- something like "expanded access" versus "suspending all waitlists," the latter of which only makes sense if lending is unlimited and thus not CDL.
I'm perhaps repeating myself from the other thread but this post angered me more than I expected it to. Other commenters have picked up on it too, but many others seem not to see it. This sort of poverty tourism is actually really twisted and indicative of some very grim aspects of our world. I'm curious as to what the author thinks or whether they are aware of this.
I've always read 10x as an order of magnitude better, not necessarily 10x faster. 3 sigma is probably better terminology though.
The problem is that there's now nowhere to go, unless you can deal with using Linux as your daily driver desktop OS. I have tried many times and have never succeeded, but if it gets bad enough I may have to find a way eventually.
Just because you see somebody's behavior as obviously wrong doesn't mean it is. Whenever I see this kind of arrogance I remember a story about westerners discovering some indigenous tribe in the jungle and seeing how they do a magic ritual to tell them the best place to go hunting. The ritual seemed to be just random and pointless but the tribesmen believed it gave them useful knowledge. Turns out, the value of it was exactly in the randomness which helped to prevent prey from learning their routines or over-using some areas. Many other "obviously" pointless beliefs are valuable simply for being beliefs, not for accurately reflecting the real world like some non-human information processing machine.

If you believe that bleach injection is really about a practical decision to choose the best medicine and making the wrong choice due to misinformation, then you're lost in your own bigotry.
I’m pretty firmly diagnosed Type 1. My psychiatrist said I’m “high functioning”.

I’ve had many manic episodes lasting 9 months, with a least two psychotic breaks. The latest lasting 4 months. Still managed to work in an office as a developer throughout it.

Sure. But how about one made of a crosshatch pattern? You know, something creative that couldn't be done (easily) with just cloth.

yes, but the persons point wasn't that its good/bad but wether its the best disinfectant (in my interpretation that means effectiveness)

so, censorship may be morally bad or wrong and also very effective, and its the fact that it is effective and working is why there is a very loud objection to it

thats all im pointing out

sorry if maybe we are talking past each other!
Information spread on the news and social media probably made them that way. Ironically.
I’m frankly shocked it’s only 10%
Yes exactly my point. Net worth is because of the enormous up-front investment. Cash flow does not justify that investment.

And yes, I'm from Iowa.
Having multiple family members working actively as scientists and academics i've been pretty blackpilled about what "science" actually is for the most part.

Off course there's heaps of interesting papers and progress out there but at least 90% of money and time seems to be spent on politics, careerism and working actively for some disproportionally funded but "profitable" niche.

It's get ahead in the game, "earn money for investors" or further some industry astroturfed cause.
Also a lot of PhD's use them to grift like cheap salesmen these days unfortunately.

Probably has something to do with the corporate incentive structures that have emerged.
Maybe; In my case it was in middle of Europe.

AI English-to-SQL that works
That explains why it was added to git/contrib. It seems to have moved out of contrib with essentially no discussion.

The original commit adding it to contrib anticipated moving parts of it into git proper:

For example, we previously discussed the idea of a "git big-clone" that does
much of what "scalar clone" is doing. This patch series is a step to make
such functionality exist in the Git code base while we simmer on what such a
"git big-clone" command-line interface would look like.

This is one of many possible ways to do this. Creating a 'git big-clone'
could lock Git into backwards compatibility concerns so it is necessary to
approach such an endeavor with caution.

Seems like now it is locked into backwards compatability concerns around including the scalar command.
> it could just police the store more actively

EFF, I love you dearly, but on what planet.

There are 135,000 extensions in the Chrome Web Store. If Google hired 1,000 people to vet the store (a staggering number), each person would have a portfolio of 100 extensions to care for.

As a recent grad, this doesn't at all seem surprising

I had a class where literally half of the people in it cheated on the autograded assignments and got caught. Then after getting caught a bunch of them cheated again by just refactoring what they already wrote

There were two to three other classes where a group of 10-20 people banded together and started insisting out of nowhere that the class was "too difficult". We had one lecture where the professor was reviewing the exam material and this group literally wasted the entire lecture bitching about the class and yelling at the professor over zoom

I've found that you only hear about it being a "hard" class if a bunch of people get together and start insisting that it's hard. Which then puts pressure on the professor and uni to water down the class, which then makes it worse off for everyone else and dilutes the program

Sorry for the rant but this stuff still pisses me off to this day

edit: I feel like video lectures (and class group chats without uni oversight) enable this behavior. This and the sheer complacency on the part of universities for prioritizing "student well being" over actually teaching something
Replied to the wrong person, but I'll take that bait anyway: "Ahahahaha, no".

That only works if you live a blissful "all my hosted pg instances use the exact same version" world, which I've never seen be the case for even moderately sized projects. You're going to need multiple Postgres installs if you're going to need pg_dump/pg_restore, which you probably are.

(How you solve that problem, of course, is not a one-size-fits-all, and Docker may be the answer... or it may not)

> The fact that it’s the internal service used to provision AWS accounts means that AWS engineers building AWS are insulated from the way that the rest of the world manages AWS accounts–or should I say, ways. They don’t have to deal in the same way with AWS Organizations or Landing Zones or Control Tower or AWS SSO (an absolute hidden gem of a service, by the way). And that’s the crux of my beef with the service.

Apparently, /u/quinnypig dislikes this account-manager-thing specifically because AWS has been hoarding it to themselves.

His point is valid: When is AWS going to advertise account per region per service as an official default policy and bring AWS Orgs up to par with it? They think it's the right way, why not for the customer?

Thanks! I should say I didn't have much to do with that specific demo; I mostly worked on reimplementing everything from the ground up for VR. I don't think there's any good video of that system, but there are some accounts in the press from journalists trying it. (Any journalist that tried it was using my VR system. We didn't let journalists try the AR version because the calibration wasn't reliable enough on new people, but the deep learning based tracking of the VR version was more reliable).

As far as exactly how it works, I probably shouldn't go around disclosing all the secret sauce. After all, Google bought it fair and square. AFAIK there's nobody left in Google VR that knows much about it, but I haven't worked there for many years so I don't know the current state of things.
>you get to be judge, jury and executioner.

This has been the case with every single instance of software repositories (aka app stores). Remember the whole ffmpeg and libav schism that was fueled in part by repo maintainers imposing their dogmatic will? Or more recently Debian and whether to include non-free code in its installers (aka local repository)? I can't quite grasp why this doesn't appear immediately obvious to anyone.

The only truly free ecosystem is something like Win32, where developers are free to write whatever they want, publishers are free to sell whatever they want where- and however they want, and the operating system is dependent on that free ecosystem for continued relevance.
That speaks very poorly of games I guess. Not interested in anything but bait...

I would have liked to have learned more about how the query planner and evaluator work! There was almost nothing about that? Just the tests magically moving from 0% to 95%.

e.g. What table and value representation was used?

FWIW I suspect using a LALR(1) parser in Zig on the sqlite grammar would have saved some time and gotten past the parsing headache.

The sqllogictest comes directly from sqlite, so it seems like the parsing problem is mostly "port from C to Zig" (which are very similar metalanguages, or I guess meta- meta- languages in this case :) )

Lemon is apparently a mini-yacc, just for sqlite's grammar, and is about 7K lines of C code, with no deps: https://sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/doc/lemon.html

> You are freely choosing to go on their site and interact with it how you want.

Only that the entire effort of collecting your data and profiling you happens without you being able to notice, stop or interfere (unless using some extension or sometimes a specific browser). It's more akin to you visiting public places (the visible websites) while a creepy stalker follows your every move and tries to profile you. This might be a form of harassment, but even if it isn't, I rather avoid this situation.

> You're being compensated by using their free product, which you are free to not use.

You might not be awere of how some of this works then. TikTok can seemingly track users visiting WebMD and Weight Watchers [1]. You can visit the webpage of your church, a clinic or even some municipal authorities and still get shadow profiled. And TikTok is new to this. Imagine the data collected by Google and Facebook.

We're not talking about visiting websites like YouTube where you enjoy a "free product". We're talking about virtually any website you visit including some essential services.

If you examine anybody's life, you will probably come up with 'coincidences' like that. Because we all have associations we're not aware of, or at least not aware where they came from.
If physical work is too hard, you can try being an Amazon contract recruiter- mundane work, a bit easier on the body and higher pay.
That's a meme question, and not even a legitimate one, but forced.
Can you help me understand this perspective? Was there really nothing you wanted to do with your life that you had to resort to getting a corporate job to keep yourself sane? A guy a used to work with went through the same thing recently after his startup was acquired. I’m not sure how much he made, but I’m pretty sure he’s set for life. He stayed retired for about six months before getting bored and getting another job. It’s just completely baffling to me.

I want to sail the world. That is my one and only dream in this life. If I made enough money to retire, that’s what I would do. I would never dream of getting another job just to fill the time.

Granted, I’ve never been retired and probably won’t be for a very long time, so I don’t know for sure what it would feel like. But this perspective that retirement is boring and/or soul crushing just doesn’t compute with me. Maybe I’m missing something.
