Agreed but the only tangible and actionable issue I see with a fast-food burger is health. That should be addressed first and foremost. Consumption of beef is not going away otherwise. If we want to reduce beef consumption then get the government to recognize the national security risk of fast food and tax it to oblivion. Healthy beef is far more expensive. More expensive equals a reduction of consumption whereas shaming people will most certainly backfire.

If the governments started heavily taxing the fast-food grade beef then the demand will drop as a side-effect. When the demand drops we can focus on smaller, healthier regenerative farms and ranches thus reducing our dependency on fragile logistics of our current just-in-time shipping systems.

As a side note and a side benefit that I care about, this will mean less of the massive cattle ranches like Harris beef ranch in California. It is difficult to find the drone footage of these ranches because the cops will be on scene within 2 minutes of someone showing up with a drone attempting to exposing how cruel these animals are treated.

As a former PM on BigQuery, I'll offer my perspective:

- I agree that, by default, the on-demand pricing model is pure consumption, and folks can and do mess up sometimes.

- I had a habit of refunding folks when they asked, and if they made obvious mistakes, even though it took me an average of 3-4 hours to process each refund.

- BigQuery has cost controls to prevent runaway costs, sounds like you must check it out ASAP

- BigQuery also has a DDL option to require users to include a partition filter predicate in queries

- BigQuery also has flat-rate pricing, on which the vast majority of folks above SMB on. There are no runaway costs with this one.

I think generally BigQuery is a great example of an extreme serverless consumption-model. You have thousands of cores at your fingertips, and, well, if you do something that overuses, you are allowed, but you do pay for it.

You should absolutely start with a minimal stack and Postgres is a good choice for that. Everyone likes to pretend that scaling is their problem because it's a sexy problem to have... but really their problem is that the product doesn't exist.

Postgres cannot hold a candle to Oracle or even DB2 when it comes to scale. I've worked at two places did real-time transaction processing on gigunda IBM mainframes. One was Oracle and the other was DB2... This was 15 years ago and the databases were terabytes in size back then... all queryable in milliseconds. Backups, restoration, and schema changes while the system is running is not an issue... And these systems simply did not go down, ever.
The irony is that Elon said he was buying Twitter in order to enact his "free speech absolutist" policies, and it turns out he really just wanted to ban elonjet and apparently every journalist on his beat.
That is sad to hear. You hear criticism of public IT stuff here in Norway too, but it mostly works. Like I got e-receipt since 2013. Can order new prescriptions, book appointments , look at test results online online. Well the latter doesn’t always work. But everything with taxes and banking had long been all electronic and working fine.
Okay but if you contact Google support and they say “initiate a chargeback” and you do so, should you get banned?
Hopefully governments are looking into these customer service (or lack there of) for big tech. Google services are almost as important as banking or telcos for many people so there should be also some oversight here.

Can't say I've used rclone for this, but I wouldn't discard it so easily

I have a rather large library from Takeout and it's been a burden.

It seems I'm going to need to write something to interpret their metadata to make it remotely useful again; they provide a flat archive with images and JSON files.

If I have to do this, I'd rather pick my tools on familiarity - compared to Takeout, I have slightly more with rclone

Truth be told I'm a data hoarder, I'll probably do both and reconcile

I did see that list, thanks. My last company was in healthcare tech.
It's likely more sustainable to have people long term and not expensive consultants who come in, finish a project and leave again with no knowledge being retained in the team.

I'd also guess that these projects are not very isolated but very integrated with a lot of other processes and internal projects, so it's not just about converting some specs into code in a vacuum and then leaving again.
The NY Post were never banned from Twitter.
It’s because Big Honey hasn’t polarized the collective yet, just wait.

For sure, and I forgot about domain/sector/field expertise. If you're asking HN for literally any idea, that means you're going to be jumping into a new domain with only a few weeks of "research" via Google. You can't hire a good domain expert who will help you avoid all the pitfalls with a total budget of $150k.

A pair of Power Walls costs about $25K. Surely a Lightning is more than that?

A car is generally registered to an individual. A plane isn't.

You could also -maybe- argue that because there's multiple people on the plane (assuming Ol' Muskie isn't flying it himself) and that those people are potentially different every time, without a passenger and crew manifest, it's not identifying individuals (but I suspect you'd not get far with this.)
How to shoot yourself in the foot and lose money to Dubai.
I have also a XPS13, it is quite good, and I never shutdown/reboot it. Only let it in sleep mode when needed. For months.

There is still a recurring issue that I was encountering, that is similar to the one reported by Fabien Sanglard. It is with the small usb-c to usb-3 thunderbolt accessory. It is working perfectly, and suddenly, after months, it will not work anymore with anyhting plugged to it, without reason.

In that case, in the syslog I can also see that the "memory space" is exhausting, with something "BAR" and it looks like that it is not able to allocate ports anymore.

Before, in such a case, I was forced to reboot and that was a lot of frustration for me, to lose all my contexts. And most often at the wrong time when you are in a hurry.

But, recently,in a Linux Evening, I found a command that "magically" resolve my issue when it is happening, without having to reboot:

for i in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/[uoex]hci_hcd/*:*; do [ -e "$i" ] || continue; echo "${i##*/}" > "${i%/*}/unbind"; echo "${i##*/}" > "${i%/*}/bind"; done

This will deinit/deallocate all the usb internal hubs (usb2/usb3/...) freeing the ports that were allocated (leaked?) for them. And then reset them. Then everything is working correctly again.

Even if it is not great to have this issue, this is the case when I like Linux, when there is always a way to fix your issues without having to reboot.
I think our comments complemented each other and provided a nice rounded criticism and I appreciate that. I think you're reading me a bit uncharitably though. There has to be space to talk about how everyone would fail in that position without denouncing it as apologia.

They all roll Debian stable with unattended_upgrades and it's an absolute joy of stability.

Not that I would use Debian stable for my personal machines: I want the latest shiniest and I want to be close to upstream to report bugs when they're fresh and easy to fix by the maintainer (yes, "I use arch btw" indeed), but for "computer-illiterate" people, stability trumps everything else.

The "computer illiterate" isn't amused by constant breaking behavior / visual changes. They want the thing to work reliably and unsurprisingly. Debian delivers this and never breaks. Once every major dist-upgrade I review changes with them, and they're good to go until next time.
Powerwalls are $11k before installation and have 13.5 kWh capacity.

Multiple sources say that honey is around 30% glucose, 40% fructose.
no. You're just wwrong. It's the wrong tool if you need to tow for more than 100 miles in a single day. It's become very political tool to state that if electric vehicles cannot be better than gas/diesel at every single metric it's a failure. All the reviews are glowing about electric vehicles. Every manufacturer is scrambling to produce one. Demand is insane. Performance is better than anything comparable, and event to things incomparable. A Lucid air performance is faster than a Bugatti Chiron in the quarter mile.

Also I believe 90% of truck owners only use their truck bed once per year or less. Is it stupid they want trucks? Probably, but that's the way it is.
There is no moat with generative deep learning, and the space is already super crowded.
Habits are formed through repetition, and that repetition can be a conscious decision. It is very obviously possible to train yourself to have better habits, people do it all the time.

I'm not sure what your specific definition of self-betterment is, but mine is that you can through guidance, external help, environmental changes, personal reflection, (occasionally) medication, and (importantly) personal repetition, practice, and conscious effort slowly fix problems with your behavior/attitudes and pick up working/life strategies that make you more productive and healthier, and it is good for most people to try and do so.

This is a kind of out-of-left-field comment that I'm not sure how to reply to. I don't think I understand what you're saying, because obviously there are good reasons to force ourselves to form habits? A huge percentage of learning any skill is in learning fundamentals in such a way that they become instinctive and where practicing them becomes habitual. Even day-to-day life habits like brushing your teeth are ingrained in us via conscious effort and conscious reinforcement, they're not something we accidentally pick up. So I have to assume I misunderstand what you mean by self-betterment and habits because I assume you're not arguing that people shouldn't consciously try to form habits, and I assume you're not arguing that it's impossible for people to learn to be better people or to pick up healthier habits than they have currently. I mean, that argument wouldn't even be a philosophical difference or a perspective difference, it would just be observably false.

If self betterment in general the way that most people understand it was nonsense then nobody would ever stop smoking, rehab would always be a waste of time, no one would ever lose weight or improve exercise habits, etc... And that's so clearly not the case that I have to assume you're using those words differently than most people.

----

In any case, OP asking for help at the top of the thread is a kind of self betterment (although HN might not be the best place to do it or to get advice), and it's healthy for them to be putting in effort to understand themselves better and to get better at controlling their productivity. And it's extremely possible for them to see results; I bring up the records advice out of personal experience with it and out of personal experience looking back and seeing, "oh wow, I am way better at day-to-day tasks than I used to be." You can get better at this stuff. It's not a matter of just magically deciding to (which is part of my objection to the "just do it" advice I was replying to above), but self-improvement is a totally feasible thing for most people to do.
Or just don’t use gmail. Email is way too important to me (and most people) to risk losing because an automated system thought I broke the TOS of an unrelated Google product. Even if you keep separate accounts, there’s nothing to stop them correlating those accounts and banning you anyway.

Don’t use gmail as your primary email provider.
> AWS zeroes the disks before they're reused, so from your point of view it's instant. As mentioned in the post, deleting a KMS key takes at least 7 days (and up to 30 days, depending on your configuration.)

Yes, the point is that it separates physical and logical concerns. That's why all of the major services have been moving to have it on by default since it means that there's no way for lost hardware to cause a data breach, and while the KMS delays to prevent accidental / ransomware deletion are not instantaneous they're visible and deterministic: things are deleted when you think they are.

> Regarding other point, that's also mentioned in the post as "if your IAM access configuration is bad your KMS access configuration might save you," which is referring to what you mention.

I guess I'm just not seeing how that's “close to useless and potentially harmful” – defense in depth is a useful hardening technique, especially if you have to worry about admins being compromised or demonstrate that sysadmins can't access data without following a standard logged path.

> This is true if you, or the one you inherit the infrastructure from, configured it correctly from the start. But re-encrypting disks, databases, S3-buckets etc is time consuming and might require downtime.

Saying that something is hard to clean up later isn't “close to useless and potentially harmful” — if anything, I'd take the opposite position that if you do the “pointless” compliance work, you're not going to be in that position later when you have a ton of data and busy applications.

> So it's not always easy or cost free (in terms of labor.) I'm not sure what you're referring to with "easy to enable globally", enable what?

Partially I was thinking about https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSEncry... but the more general point was just that these are easy to set up when you're creating new resources and there isn't a runtime impediment for having done so the way there was decades ago when performance was a reasonable concern.

In general, when the entire industry is saying you should do something or, as is the case for the major cloud providers, turning it on by default, I would stop to ask whether it is in fact unnecessary or them trying to prevent yet another customer from ending up in a situation where the work required to deal with a problem is considerably greater than preventing it would have been.

I bought a Rivian and it's been more than fine. Heck, I really like it. Nobody on the forums I've seen have had reliability issues, either, and people are pretty critical & non-fanboyish there. Everything from panel gaps to tire options to material choices is generally taken to task, and I've seen nothing about reliability.

It is a long wait while they ramp up production, though, so I'll grant you that point. But that's true of everyone at the moment - even Ford - and a similarly-spec'd F150L and R1T are currently similarly priced.
Cpanel may not be "cool" but it basically has everything you need built in already. It makes it super easy to run your own mail server. You would then use it to set up DKIM/SPF/etc.

Before setting it up, I would first do a blacklist check on the server's IP address. I would also avoid using any shared IP address, as that could cause long term problems.

Reputation is important, and is a combination of IP reputation, domain reputation, and mail volume. I don't have experience running a low-volume mail server, though I suspect that sending mail to people you already know, and making sure that it gets through to them would be helpful. (Ask them to remove it from spam/whitelist/etc.) The main challenge is to get mail accepted from Microsoft/Yahoo/Google. That accounts for 90%+ of recipients.
In an effort to make this a little less political and a little more geeky:

Say we have a binary relation R (so we write x R y to say x is related to y by R)

Say this relation is also transitive, so whenever x R y and y R z we always have that x R z

We notice transitivity can be extended over N-hops, not just 2. So what is 0-hop transitivity? We usually call that reflexivity: we always have that x R x

Now we come to the crux: is our relation symmetric, or antisymmetric, or something else?

Ignoring the third case; with an antisymmetric relation, we have either x R y xor y R x, but never both; with a symmetric relation whenever we have x R y we also always have y R x.

Crudely put, the cartoon conservative wants more antisymmetric relations, and the cartoon progressive wants more symmetric relations.

Before the 1960s, many european languages were antisymmetric in 2nd person pronouns: the superior would say tu/du to the inferior; the inferior would say vous/Sie to the superior. ([Edit:Counter example]: one says "thou" and not "you" to God)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T–V_distinction

Since the 1960s, we've moved to a symmetric use of these pronouns. The V form is more formal, but if one party uses vous/Sie the other party will mirror it. Similarly the T form is more informal, and if a company (such as McDo) addresses their customers as tu/du, they'd be fools to think they will be addressed in return as anything else.

Lagniappe: cf "Weak Components Revived" on https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/news.html for a discussion of structure in graphs of the third kind, having a mix of symmetric and antisymmetric relations.

My advice to anyone setting out making games would be to pick any major engine with a trackrecord (can be broadly construed), stick with it, and just start pumping out games. Start small, like your smallest idea then cut that in half. Complete the game and ship it to Steam. There's a lot you'll learn in the last 20%. Grow the scale for the next game slightly. Repeat. If you're dying to build a dream game, don't. Save that for the next decade. Yes, decade. That's when you're skills will match your ambition. Ultimately, the tech isn't that important. Project management, scope, persistence, and execution are more important. Flipping around will drain your time, and reduce the rate you get better.
It makes even more sense if you read it as idealism.
That's probably one way conspiracy theories happen. They also happen because it's been an evolutionary advantage to look for patterns and reasons even though sometimes there are none. Creating or subscribing to a conspiracy theory also can create a sense of belonging for an individual within a smaller group that subscribers to the theory that they'd never get in the main stream. There is a great documentary about the flat earth society that drives that point home well.

the problem is that when the people who complained about the behavior now celebrate and initiate the behavior, it renders their initial objection as insincere and self-serving. what i've seen is that a lot of this is less about complaining about the behavior, and more of a crusade to highlight the hypocrisy of both elon and his acolytes.
