Well, they never asked my consent for universally tracking all my browser activity, nor do I have an account personally so I'm not sure if personalization even applies in this case.

Nonetheless turning an extension that's sole function is to add a search engine in the browser to a universal tracker is invasive to say the least.
What’s the draw to get tech workers to migrate there, other than lower home prices? Seems like a notable decline in quality of life compared to their soon to be closed hubs.
Maybe they know something I don't, but Walmart doesn't strike me as the kind of company or location that a lot of good talent would go back to the office for. The decision to close the hubs at least makes some sense; exactly how much technology has Walmart been getting out of them?
Tried all of them, they are still at gpt2 tier. None of them close to gpt3, so far away from davinci.

Well… an oil painter would not add black. Rather they would add the complementary color. This would darken and also neutralize the base color. A digital painter could achieve the same effect with a simple multiplication (add black via multiplication blend mode).

As you imply, the outcome is not always realistic. The reason is that the shadow would be tinted by the environment light. This is particularly apparent in desert environments or very sunny environments where the shadows can be a saturated blue.
That's not even enough, you've got to be able to herd cats.
Kia is a lot like the American cars of the 90s. Once you creep near 100K, major problems (or repairs that effectively total the vehicle) pop up like weeds. Their GDI, gasoline direct injection, engines are garbage: the valves and injectors get coated in carbon from the lack of a 'fuel wash', and they burn oil like crazy.

The official word from Kia/Hyundai is that burning a quart of oil every 1000 miles is perfectly normal, and that you should be checking your oil level at every fill up to avoid the likely scenario where you seize the engine. Before K/H will consider that you have an issue (even with dozens of class actions filed), you need to have the dealership perform a measured oil burn test and a piston soak, all out of pocket to the owner.

My wife's Kia Soul has burned so much oil that it now throws codes indicating a catalytic converter failure at <100K miles. I won't be sinking that kind of money into that trash heap. Maybe I can interest the Kia Boys in a ride? Just make sure you total it and don't hurt anybody.
Sortition was one of those things I also thought was dumb until I worked in Federal Government and was "graced" on a few occassions by elected and designated officials. I soon realized that any random person could mostly do just as well, if not better.
I thought things got started in silicon valley because it was cheap with Stanford nearby. Then hardware slowly changed to software. As things grew people moved to San Francisco to enjoy life of the big city and still be close silicon valley.
Microsoft moved to Seattle because it was Gates's home. And Nintendo was there because Seattle was closer to Japan. Microsoft grew and created a mini silicon effect in Seattle.
The growth of Seattle had nothing to do with the prices in San Francisco.
I think prices have very little bearing on this kind of things.
Never have I so reflexively pre-ordered a book I just heard about on the internet.

The most effective way is to be able to dynamically distribute load across a large array of servers, turning some off at times of lower load. Anyone who runs a large datacenter probably already does this or something equivalent, either to save money or to service more customers with the same amount of hardware. It's more effective to optimize the hardware architecture, but it's worth noting that improvements in efficiency usually don't translate to reductions in power consumption. Instead, it causes induced demand and usage increases to fill available capacity.
"For cause" isn't relevant here. The point is that whoever doesn't want to move will be terminated, which is perfectly legal.

Walmart is betting that a big chunk of its employees in places like Portland OR aren't going to move to Bentonville, AR, and then it can terminate them and have an effective layoff that doesn't look like a layoff. Pretty safe bet.
But the UK is no longer part of EU

Have you seen salaries in the UK? You have white collar professionals making 30-40k pounds, and meanwhile London, where most of those jobs are located is similar in COL to NYC or SF, except food is cheaper. I have never understood how it works.
Ding ding ding. The employees Walmart actually wants will continue full remote work, those that it doesn't really want to keep will be told to move to Bentonville, AR, they will refuse and get terminated or leave.
I started migrating from Linode to OVH a while back (Probably a year and a half or so ago). Parked the migration for a while, and started in earnest again a couple of months ago. All told, my experiences with OVH have been fairly positive. There's a quirk here and there that annoys me, but the same is true for every cloud provider to some extent. Still, on balance, I'd have no problem recommending OVH.

If anybody cares to know, the single biggest annoyance I have with them is this: you can't launch a VPS that comes up with an ssh key pre-configured for passwordless ssh access, at least not the first time around. Unless they've changed it recently anyway, the option to specify an ssh key only appears in the menu for re-installing an existing VPS. For a brand new one, your options are:

1. Turn around and immediately re-install it, so they add the key for you

2. Receive the password for the newly created instance in an email, and use it to login, upload the key, and configure passwordless ssh.

I wound up writing a script to do the latter, so all I do is wait for the email to come, paste the password and IP into my script, and fire it off and it copies the key, and makes a few other small tweaks, then does sudo dnf -y upgrade, and then a sudo reboot.

Once all that finishes I use Ansible to do everything else. By and large it all just works and is fine, but not being able to have the VPS come up with the ssh key already configured initially still bugs me a bit.
It may be hard to believe, but there are lifestyles that don’t thrive in California.
As usual, a simple MitM can accomplish more than you'd expect. Together with a simple Frida script, you can easily intercept traffic for apps with certificate pinning as well; there's no quick fix for a vulnerability like this.

You can't trust data from computers you don't own. Looking at the source code snippet posted, this library simply sends a "score" variable over a POST request and the server just seems to accept it as the real score; that's fine for keeping user-specific high scores, but as soon as you use that data together with any other account, you're going to have a bad time.

This reminds me of the Hive Social security vulnerability (forgetting to implement ACLs on any of their endpoints and doing all the security checks client side).
I hope they will keep what is good about Linode.

Adding new good things is a bonus.

I can understand changing the name. Among other reasons, I wouldn't want to be doing B2B sales and trying to explain to the customer what "Linode" is.

The name "Linode" has an old-school charm, from a particular period and demographic, but I'd guess that's not how they're making most of their money nowadays.

And, hey, ACC (Akamai Connected Cloud) comes alphabetically before AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Hat tip for the David Brenner link. The bottom of that page reads:

Over the past six years, we have been working on a very exciting new approach to killing drug-resistant bacteria - superbugs- , as well as airborne viruses such as influenza, using a unique type of ultra-violet light. We have always known that ultraviolet light can efficiently kill all microbes, but conventional germicidal ultraviolet light is hazardous to our health, causing skin cancer and cataracts. We have identified a particular wavelength of UV light that has the best of both worlds - it's safe and it kills microbes - including superbugs.

While he doesn't say it directly, I guess he is talking about 222nm UV.

Well we saw a lot of that happen in US during covid. Why work at all if i can collect $X more not working? Its rational not to work more for less so i dont blame them.

My guess is equity holders in Linode fully expect Akamai to destroy the brand, and that’s fine because they’re cashing out today.
> were not good ICs, but they did multiply the effectiveness of the ICs they worked with

that sounds nice (meaning, "I know what you are saying") but it's not really true. As organizations grow, they become less efficient. If a manager can keep a team of N working at N*1 productivity, that's amazing, but it's not a multiple. Now, people can be dragged down by poor communication, poor leadership, changing targets, stepping on each other's feet, bad attitudes, etc. and a good manager can get that 0.1 efficiency multiplier back up to something approaching 1, so it might feel like a multiple.

Same thing happened to a buddy of mine when the software company he worked for was purchased. The first thing the new owners did was move HQ from California to Texas; they told all the employees, "Move to Texas or you're losing your job." My friend moved. The company rewarded him by cutting his salary in half. He moved back to California in less than a year.
Basically the same here. I used Slicehost until they were acquired by Rackspace... and for a while afterwards, truth be told. Inertia is a real thing, let me tell you.

After Slicehost/Rackspace, my next VPS provider was Linode. To be fair, I do also use Amazon for some stuff, but mostly just transient instances, and limited use of some of their more specialized services like SNS.

I experimented with Hetzner and OVH, and wound up deciding to migrate my stuff to OVH. So far so good, but as mentioned in another thread, while I'm fairly happy with OVH, there are a few little "gotcha's" here and there.
ASP.NET Core does include those things you mentioned are not included.
Anecdotally, TB has been very fast and my browser was always slow for even basic operations.

Though Outlook is an exception. It has always been...garbage in my experience. Crashes, incredible lag, addons that fail to load, etc. I consider it a miracle if I get through a day with it all working properly.

My encryption settings are constantly being reset so I have to enter them almost EVERY SINGLE TIME, which is lovely.

That may be the case in the past, but the factors that enabled the Chinese manufacturing (low to medium range) dominance are largely declining: abundant growing labor force, stable world trading and geopolitical environment.
If your power management is working right there’s only a slight difference between suspend and the lowest idle power state. I would look into why your thing draws 43W. Common reasons: ASPM disabled, using wired Ethernet when wifi would do the job, and having too much RAM.
We also have jets and international air travel that can take a patient zero anywhere in the world and around any people in a matter of hours (well before they're too sick to know not to be traveling).

Maybe those addons are the issue? I’ve never had lag, and crashes are < 0.5/year. But I also have zero addons.

I'm a big fan of Jupiter broadcasting and so I tried to use their sponsor Linode once, but they needed my social security number so that was a no-go for me. Hopefully with the rebranding they'll change this requirement.
> Any drive can fail at any time for any reason and it may be totally unrecoverable.

While in principle this is true, I have been using hard drives for more than 30 years now in PCs and I have never had one fail. I still back things up to separate drives since there's always a first time, but I've never used SpinRite or any other extra "protection" over and above what my OS provided.
This is fascinating and sad.

You're going to need to explain this more. All efforts start small. With support they grow and can accomplish things.

If "it" is referring to porn, then yes it is. Perhaps not in your view, or your social circles.
> As opposed to EVs that have considerably larger manufacturing carbon footprint compared to ICE cars?

Irrelevant except perhaps for collector cars. For cars that are actually used the manufacturing differences will be swamped by the operational differences.

> Also remind me what is the percentage of clean energy those EVs are consuming?

Again irrelevant, because even if in a particular place now not much electricity comes from clean energy as they shift to more and more clean energy that improves all the EVs in service there. The ICEs in service will be just as dirty then as they are now.

Also, if you do generate electricity from fossil fuels and use that to power cars it can be cleaner than using that fossil fuel directly to power cars. That's because burning it in the car greatly constrains how much equipment you can use to try to reduce or capture the emissions from that burning, because it all has to be small enough and light enough to include in a car.

Burning that fuel instead to power generators that feed the grid doesn't suffer that problem. You can put more elaborate emissions control there than you could on a car.
This would never happen in the US because of healthcare dependence.

And the reply to that explains well how it is a transfer payment. And of course it is. A sizable number of people don't earn any income at all.

You do have a point about inflation, but supply in most cases will respond accordingly. There are important exceptions, like land rent, which scales with the income-earning ability of tenants, because it is a pure monopoly with a vertical (static) supply curve.
