When I was a new immigrant, I rented a Hertz car with a corporate card. Prepaid rental.

Got to their office and they wanted to run some form of ID verification / something... said that I "failed" that check because my SSN didn't match my DOB, etc. (Well, no kidding, because it wasn't issued til I moved to the US).

"We cannot rent to you."

Me, already arranging a ride to Enterprise, "Sure, whatever, just issue a refund."

"Sorry, prepaid rentals are non-refundable."

The fuck they're not. "Oh, we decided not to rent to you, but we're holding the full cost of the rental" might sound like a nice little racket... was resolved, but it took a few calls to corporate (I didn't even bother arguing at the rental location), which is a few more calls than it should.

If you ever fly to Alaska, try taking an Uber a couple of miles away from the immediate airport vicinity, and rates will be a lot cheaper. You may still run into bullshit like attempts to pull "we need to contact your insurance ourselves and verify policy details and coverage limits before we let you waive our insurance coverage" but the daily rate will be substantially cheaper.

Yeah, if people who want to LARP as bank robbers could be paired with people who want to LARP as bankers, tellers, and cops, that could be an answer to the incipient commercial real-estate crisis. Just a matter of getting the right people in the same room together.
Customer feedback is useful. Understanding product issue frequency and severity is useful. Should they have emailed him to ask about what issues he was aware of before sending their feedback? Should they have asked you? :)
MPLS didn’t really address latency issues in the core - it scaled PE to PE connectivity by removing full table lookups at the P layer and replacing it with truncated labels.

However the main long-staying effect of MPLS is enabling L2 and L3 VPNs (VRFs).

Scene itself is absolutely ""subject to copyright"" in many cases, like when it's set up by photographer or includes recognizable people (they can sue you if you sell a street shot with their face)
What was the off-the-shelf one if you don't mind my asking? It's total curiosity as I'm wondering what people go for in the Elixir space. Although it sounds like you started without Elixir?
And I could go to a super rural area and get something even cheaper. People also pay even more than this for super tiny claustrophobic apartments in NYC and HK. Cities provide value in all kinds of ways, and it turns out they’re popular. Having cheap options that allows a wider range of people to take advantage of it sounds like a great idea to me.

Well, I don't entirely disagree with you (about it overstepping the mark). But I also think you are exaggerating the negatives here.

I would like to see SROs updated. This is not that.
I charged my 2020 MY using a normal 15 amp outlet for 3 months when I first got the car. I drove it as much as I wanted during the day and plugged it in at night. 99% of the time it was no problem at all. A few times I had to unplug before it was completely (80%) charged but it was fine and I was able to drive normally that day.

I eventually upgraded to a Wall Connector for Level 2 charging (40 amp circuit) which charges about 10x faster (40miles / hour). This was much more convenient but not completely necessary.
I find text editing on mobile to be like tap dancing on bowling pins...
> Telstra never “owned” the Australian internet

Maybe not, but for a not insignificant period of time, before Connect showed up, they did own about the only international transit.

I ended up in the early-mid 90s doing some work for a guy who I dropped when I realized he was basically doing some spam-pyramid double play, but had paid for space in a very nice datacenter, and I figured out when I downloaded Navigator 2.0 from the datacenter, for a few seconds I was using something like 5% of Australia's international bandwidth.

> So we set up asymmetric routing where downloads came over satellite direct from the USA, while uploads went via Telstra.

That sounds entirely familiar too. I did some work for Crown Casino where I learned that Telstra would set up links with you of any size, they didn't care, just charged you 19c/mb (fucking ouch), and Crown had 100mbps backup fiber in 1994.
Still you're comparing snappiness of software designed for hardware seven years older than your processor (during some of the most rapid gains in performance YoY) and 13 years older than your GPU, with IO 1,000x faster than what it was targeted for. Your CPU is over 10x faster than the hardware Office XP was targeted for. The graphics card is probably at least 1,000x faster than what Office XP was intended for.

Most people think of Office 2007 as a massively bloated and sluggish piece of software. And the experience of it running on the hardware they were running in 2007, it probably was. Is it still slow and sluggish on a modern Intel/AMD CPU with an NVMe SSD?

Go run Office XP on a PII 400MHz with integrated graphics. Tell me how responsive and fast the experience is. It's a bloated mess compared to Office 95, so much extra fluff you don't need.

And I mean, why are you even expending all this waste of a GUI with true colors? So much bloat. So much waste. Imagine how much more efficient it could be if it was just drawing 80 columns.

I'm honestly confused about which part specifically you find unacceptable.

Do you think it should be illegal to sell housing smaller than a certain minimum size? Do you think the price is too high? Do you think the location is awful?
Prometheus has become ubiquitous for a reason. Exporting metrics on a basic http endpoint for scraping is as simple as you can get.

Service discovery adds some complexity, but if you’re operating with any amount of scale that involves dynamically scaling machines then it’s also the simplest model available so far.

What about it doesn’t work for you?

Edit: I didn’t touch on logging because the post is about metrics. Personally I’ve enjoyed using Loki better than ELK/EFK, but it does have tradeoffs. I’d still be interested to hear why it doesn’t work, so I can keep that in mind when recommending solutions in the future.

Children with both parents also very often do not grow up fine if they are in certain socioeconomic divisions. That needs to be eliminated from the equation before any such generalizations.
We have to make 100 widgets to satisfy demand, you can make 75 per hour, I can make 25 per hour.

I would say we both worked for an hour, so we both get half of the revenue. You want three quarters of the revenue because you made three quarters of the the widgets?

I of course understand that we would want something like that in practice as an incentive, otherwise I could be very lazy and make you do all the work. But let us forget about practical aspects, let us assume we both work to the best of our abilities, we can not find a more productive replacement for me, and so on. We are also not competing, you could of course offer your widgets cheaper than me and put me out of business.

Why do you think it would be more natural or better that we get compensate based on the amount of widgets each of us produced instead of what it cost each of us to produce them, an hour of work?
In modern PG you can use partitioned table for a similar effect.
It would be nice if every comment was fully cited, but would probably be counter-productive since most people don’t have the time to find citations.

Until everyone’s knowledge is represented in some kind of knowledge graph, simply finding a citation “of that paper I read last year” can be a lot of work. So for now, it’s more effective to talk generally and cite a paper when it is relevant (when discussing methods etc).

The Washington State ferry system runs at stupendous levels of losses.

For example, the diesel ferry boats are aging out. The idea is to replace them with electric ferries. Any sane organization would just go buy an electric ferry boat. But not Washington, oh noooo. They have to design their own special electric ferry boat. It gets worse. The boats also must be built in the state, to make the local unions happy. This means that the boat builder gets to charge monopoly prices, which are in the stratosphere.

It's even worse than the local light rail system, where special rail cars had to be "custom designed for the Pacific Northwest" (whatever that means), and so naturally had to cost a fortune.

Nobody was ever able to explain why the PNW needed custom rail cars, and the local media would never even ask the question. Would standard rail cars melt in the rain? Nobody knows.

The comparison here is so vague as to be useless. There are 4 categories of nurse, and I can assure you that A) a CNA and RN (let alone an APRN) are very different jobs with different requirements and wage/salary brackets and that B) K-12 wages and requirements also vary drastically.

A CNA (the second most common "nurse") most assuredly does not earn more than the average High School teacher, let alone one with any sort of seniority or departmental/administrative responsibilities. An APRN probably earns more than any blue collar field as it's a decidely high salaried white collar position.

The piece seems pretty exaggerated to generate clicks. "Hacker houses" have been a thing in Silicon Valley forever. You share a large house with a bunch of like-minded people and get a tiny space of your own to sleep in. For someone in their early-mid 20s, what's the harm? It's the perfect way to build a community and have a blast.

It specifically points out that it's clear that this is how the medical interventions discussed in the article work: reducing calories by altering eating behavior.

The moral instinct that opposes renting out beds like these, but has no reaction to people sleeping on the street (because no one gets paid) is fascinating!
Asking it why it said something isn't a great pattern, because it can't answer that truthfully: each interaction with the bot resets its "memory" entirely.

You're effectively asking it to invent a rationale for what you are telling it was the thing it told you last time round.

Asking it to "think out loud" during its initial answer is a better way to get insight into why it answered in a particular way (and also often causes it to provide better answers).

Asking it follow-up questions is almost always useful, it's just the "why did you say X?" pattern that I'm recommending against.

Having used Carplay recently after few months in Tesla I couldn't believe how crap it was.

Overall UX is feels about a decade behind - a bit like OEM systems before Carplay.

Monash was firewalled, but basically everything had a public IP (130.194/16 IIRC).

The modem bank was heavily limited and Yoyo, the student group DEC Alpha which was overloaded and barely firewalled had "Arnie the Modem Terminator", a daemon that would poll the modem banks and if they were full, would terminate Yoyo connections from them (so people would just connect to a school server, and telnet to Yoyo from there. SSH? What's that?)
Texas has a really good reputation when it comes to throwing out junk science.

But it also means prosecutors often avoid scientific evidence in favor of witness testimony.

It also creates situations where no DNA test is done on evidence. On appeal the defense says “the prosecution didn’t even do dna testing!” But during the trial the defense wasn’t asking for it (and neither was prosecution) so of course it didn’t happen.

The correlation is very accurate. Lobsters were once considered so low-quality that they had to be force-fed to prisoners. Anyone complaining about "eating bugs" on principle is being foolish. If you don't like bugs for the taste, that's one thing (I've tried crickets before; they're unremarkable). But if anyone thinks that eating bugs is inherently any worse than eating, say, pigs, or octopuses, then that's simply incoherent.
Not just embarrassing. A disgusting example of the worst parts of humanity.
I doubt you'd want to eat only lobster or shrimp, or other bugs, which is what the meme is about.

Some dumb questions: for liveview web / liveview native, is it possible to save rendered code offline and every time it connects to server , it will first check a defined version number ,if the version changes , it will update the code. If the the version is the same or if there is no internet connection, it will use stored code. Perhaps Elixi can be used this way for offline apps while maintaining the dynamic server rendering feature
> It works well in Tokyo. These are common housing for kids who might only have part time jobs at convenience stores.

By this logic, homeless encampments under freeway underpasses work well in the US. They are common for people who can't afford anything else so why fix what's not broken?
Nope. I work on software that is 40+ years old. The code runs major airlines and airports with very few problems. We are currently upgrading it to run in a browser. Without rewriting it.
>Crustaceans are very distantly related to "bugs,"

How do you figure? What makes them not a bug? Generally the distinction I see is that people consider pretty much all arthopods bugs unless they're big and live in the sea and cognitive dissonance doesn't want them to think about that they like eating bugs. Sure, they're not /insects/ but neither are spiders or centipedes. Heck, I think most people consider "Pill Bugs" to be bugs, it's in the name. Those /are/ crustaceans. Don't know how they taste, though.

You could have 5000 square foot property and rent 10 van spaces at 1000 a month each. OR have a duplex at 3000 a month each for 6000 total.

Plus for the landlord theres minimal maintenance.as vans are pretty off the grid.

You could credit screen and do background checks...etc.to help keep the riff raff out.

If the zoning would allow it I think it could be a real solution to housing.
