How I reduced our AWS billing cost from $7000 to under $2000 dollar?
As a Senior Technical Product Manager (hands-on with day-to-day coding and contribute to features as an IC), working on a large scale distributed microservice architecture for an ecommerce platform, I was faced with the challenge of reducing our AWS bill which was exceeding $7000+ per month.

After conducting a thorough analysis of our infrastructure and codebase, I implemented several measures to bring down the costs to under $2000 per month.

I don't understand what the purpose of a switch that someone else, but not the person sitting in the seat can operate is?
Loops and conditionals are a totally alien concept to non programmers. I really don’t think the syntax is the issue.
Right! I'm talking about the "batch-made burgers resting in a warming cabinet until sold" process.

That resting process gives them some time to meld together, I presume. To me, a good burger is a messy, fused together thing that looks as if someone has taken a nap on them.

With made-to-order, McDonalds not only lost the "fast" in "fast food", but the result is just some stack of components that is so lukewarm, half of the time the cheese hasn't even melted.

Regarding fresh vs. frozen - I honestly do not know whether they have changed anything there, at least here in DE. If they did, I cannot taste the difference, and I regularly grind my own meat at home.
Nothing even compares to Berlin. Prague has basically 2 clubs and they are working partly because it's cheap and only 4hour train from Berlin so it's fun destination for both Berliners and Berlin DJS.
Athens is where lots of the techno scene (djs, producers) has been moving to but that's because property is cheap so they can run away from Berlin winter. It also has like 2 clubs.
In Berlin there are so many venues it's hard to remember them.

AFAIK, the primary objective of pilots when talking to passengers in situations like this is not to be 100% honest, but to avoid a panic. In this particular instance, he might also have tried to protect the flight attendant or avoid personal/company embarrassment. Although as a passenger, "I was accidentally pushed against the controls" would comfort me much, much more than "the controls of the entire aircraft suddenly went black and we have no idea why".

>but replaces the 'progressive' bias with a 'conservative' one.

Now this implies that this "conservative" bias is on a level of the "progressive" one. As if there are two sides, these two, and that the "conservative" has equal, if not more, merit than the "progressive" one. It's the false balance.

Funnily enough, Conservapedia has the article on it. But opening it reveals that it's not that rationality suddenly penetrated the conserva-universe, it's just that they project they exact thing they do onto the "liberals".

Leftpad is not appropriate here because Node.js didn't add any additional String methods anyway. Therefore it could have been prevented if JS proper had enough String methods beforehand, regardless of attitude towards dependencies.

Journalists need to eat and advertising-funded websites rely on people clicking on the adverts and spending money.

People are strangely reluctant to do this.

As we all know, the true reason people don't buy stuff from online adverts is that the adverts just aren't loud, visible and obnoxious enough.

If we make it literally physically impossible to look at anything else or navigate away, people will buy some of what we're peddling.

> established or up and coming DJs

Well there's the problem. What you should compare is how many unknown new guys just making good music for fun in small unknown clubs visited by locals are there.

In my city I can go to a random non-descript bar with zero marketing or entrance fee, sit down peacefully with a drink, and hear world class techno together with few dozen strangers. Every evening. Doesn't feel that way in Berlin anymore, even if I pay it's all that global commercial style that the established DJs with promoter/management teams seem to fall into and the places are totally overcrowded.
Interesting point. But you also have to consider there are no faeces which contribute to infection risk in live animals and increase need for antibiotics. And we know a lot about keeping dead meat from going bad, see slaughterhouses and supermarkets. Can lab meat be grown under less favourable conditions for bacteria, eg cooling or oxygen poor?
> soy is one of the most common allergens

This is, of course, a concern if you're allergic to soy. However, if you avoid everything that anyone's allergic to, you're not going to be eating much. Even avoiding the EU's 14 notifiable allergens, say, would leave you able to eat very little.

> but most normal men would think twice about consuming it if they were told what we currently know about phytoestrogens and their effect.

Does "what we currently know", here, refer to what conspiracy theorists currently know? General consensus is no known effect (from phytoestrogens; some other substances in soy do have known health effects, particularly in terms of drug interactions).

Interestingly, people rarely have the same concern about _cow's milk_, which of course actually does contain mammalian estrogen (there's some evidence that this may be carcinogenic, but I don't think it's particularly strong). One assumes the milk lobby have a bigger advertising budget...

It's also happened to me once that something was dropped and got wedged behind the rudder pedal, blocking its movement. Tiny GA aircraft and we noticed it during the start-up check (when you check the full range of the flight controls). The checklist did its job. But if it had dropped during flight it could have been really dangerous.

I can imagine it can happen even in more professional circles.
well, the position that such training is fair use also gives a lot of power to the smaller players: it means open-source models, and small communities fine-tuning those, have a chance in the market (especially when using work copyrighted by mega-corps). If such training is not fair use, that generally builds a moat for those with a lot of capital or those who already own a lot of copyright on material (which is not individual artists but a slightly different set of megacorps). It's not unlike the spat between Epic and Apple: it is fundamentally two very rich, big, and powerful entities fighting over a large slice of the pie, but one side represents a far better status quo for smaller entities than the other.

(put another way, if OpenAI is made to pay for their training data, it is not the small artists that will be paid, it is the megacorps. The small artists will still have the problem of competing with AI, and now those who are competing will be paying a tax to the megacorps to do so, instead of having the option of using their own models. Training as fair use isn't particularly good for smaller artists but the alternative is less good. If you want to improve their lot I think other means are necessary)

My preferred set of legal decisions in the current copyright framework would be: training as fair use, model weights as facts and therefore not copyrightable (though this still annoyingly means models can be kept private), and model output is not copyrightable. This still means artists getting the short end of the stick, but it also severely limits the extent to which a large company can profiteer without a competitor undercutting them (preferably an open-source one, though ATM training foundational models is still sufficiently expensive that's going to be a challenge past the hyper period).
What's the best way to feed them fake data?
I would guess that it might be necessary to move the empty seat forward to access things that would otherwise be blocked by the retracted seat. That also means you have to be able to get it back later and this might also be needed if you have to pull an incapacitated pilot out of his seat. There probably has to be another switch for the pilot to move the seat forward, it would seem quite cumbersome to use that one for getting into and out of the seat.
It’s a bit over my head for now but seems like GFlowNets are tackling this problem a bit.

Maybe, I don't know what controls you'd want someone to be accessing without being in the seat. For retraction, definitely, but that sounds like a "pull this seat all the way back" switch would be better, rather than one that controls the precise position.
There's probably a second switch you can operate while seated.
All of the above in combination, I suppose.
Neither of those three would have been particularly good judgement 25 years ago, without a crystal ball.

> a plane falling out the sky

> It’s a very unsafe place when you don’t toe the line.

This one seems less like "it's a very unsafe place" and more like Prigozhin was trying to be killed. He went into open armed rebellion and negotiated a deal where he was exiled to Belarus. Then he went back to Russia, where he experienced a fatal plane crash. He would have to have been a total idiot not to see that coming.† What happened?

† My favorite story in this general vein is what happened with the Mitanni king Tushratta, whose brother the king was killed by a usurper when Tushratta was young. Tushratta inherited the throne, and the usurper, Tuhi, held power as regent until Tushratta came of age.

At which point Tushratta had Tuhi and his coconspirators executed. This was 3400 years ago, but somehow I suspect that even then this wouldn't have been hard to predict.

I live in Berlin. This isn't true at all. Berlin's underground scene is still quite strong, perhaps just not as strong as it used to be. There's more "in the open" stuff due to the popularity, yes, but there's still plenty of (sometimes literal) underground raves happening.

I'd also argue that the most recent accelerator for the shift in culture in Berlin isn't so much the tourism, but the pandemic. People haven't really been the same since.
Guess the real reason may also provoke anger in some passengers. You can argue with attendants if you know that crew did it, you can't really argue with a plane or forces of nature. For those passengers providing fake reason would ensure a safe flight.
I had the very much the same problem, until our fridge died and the replacement I bought came with one of those temperature and humidity controlled vegetable drawers.

I hadn't paid it any mind, since I assumed it was just some marketing gimmick. But much to my surprise, those things actually work — vegetables easily keep three times as long in them.

Doesn't help with the buns, of course.

I love it and really dig that attitude:

"Additionally, I don’t want a visual element of the project to be something I didn’t create myself."

Like many other approaches to font design it falls for what I like to call the "Metafont Fallacy".

When we approach the shapes of a typeface it is very natural to think of them as created by a writing implement like a brush or a pen. That is how characters were reified for the better part of 5000 years after all. Even the Romans used pen and ink despite being better known for carving into stone.

It is no surprise that Knuth designed Metafont as simulation of pen and brush.

It turned out, however, to be completely impractical to produce a typeface that looks similar to what we are used to. Similarity is crucial for legibility.

The reason for this is, that the stroke width of any contemporary typeface varies in a much more complex way than can be produced by an oblique pen. There are at least three causes for that:

- Printed letterforms have never been produced by a pen or brush

- Letterforms include sophisticated optical corrections

- Letterforms account for the flow of ink in the printing process, also known as ink traps

This is why most real Metafont fonts do not use all the polished pen and brush machinery at all, but use a very thin pen to draw the complex outline and then fill it.

Modern letter shapes are just like that and nothing that pen and brush strokes could directly reproduce.
In the UK I would thoroughly recommend these guys: http://www.ecosofa.co.uk/

We picked them because they were one of very few UK suppliers who could supply a sofa that's not covered in toxic flame retardants (the UK has kept some very dubious legislation in place on this issue, I think mainly because the industry lobbies for it as a protectionist measure).

The sofa we bought was on the expensive side, but not ridiculous. It's also seems beautifully made in general, and was carefully delivered by the firm themselves, who spent about half an hour manouevring it in.
Sure, that might have been the "trigger"; but that's missing the key thing that needs to be explained. If this were dishonesty by someone doing chemistry, it's unlikely that this would have hit the front page of HN. As they say, "Dog bites man isn't a story; man bites dog is."

But a priori, you'd expect someone studying honesty* to personally care about honesty, and thus to be less likely to give in to these sorts of pressures. That's the thing that needs to be explained; the "man bites dog" aspect.

What you're looking at in the video isn't actually the switch, it's the switch cover.

Behind the cover is a rocker switch that moves the seat, but it's not visible in this video.

It's extremely unlikely just "running into it" was the issue, but accidentally moving the seat in the wrong direction is somewhat plausible, especially if the cover is obscuring the switch.
The ones calling others morally confused are so utterly sure that they are indeed the ones confusing others.
Then good luck.

In any area, you'll suffer "ageism" while doing this because you won't have the same energy and potential as a fresh graduate.

The problem isn't your age(ageism), but the fact that you haven't managed to truly achieve seniority.

Sure, you could have gotten your senior title within 3 years from graduating, but you don't have the soft-skills that are needed to have a longer career. This applies to any area, it is expected in nowadays society that you don't behave like you live in your moms basement as you are older.

If you behave well and is generally nice, clear and have good work ethics, there's no way people won't like you and vouch for you in new positions. Sometimes they will get promoted and will want to have people around them that have worked with them before, and will want to invite you to their company.

Meanwhile a company might be ok with a 22 year old struggling to communicate with others or keep their supervisor up-to-date, they won't have that kind of patience for a 40 year old+ that has been working for decades.

And by the way, anyone can get those skills, just study and practice like you do with coding.
> Climbers have successfully used GPS devices for many years, but they are not 100% reliable. [...] Sometimes, it will send incorrect coordinates because the signal bounces off the mountain walls. Also, they require a clear sky view

Somewhat, but GPS receiver performance has improved greatly in the last 25 years.

Back in the day, you'd put a carefully oriented GPS antenna on the top of your car and still expect to lose signal when going between tall buildings.

These days a backseat car passenger with a metal car roof between them and the sky, paying no attention to the antenna's orientation, can almost always get a fix even in the densest of built up areas. And it's not just wifi or cell tower tracking - it's a proper satellite fix, with the precision to give turn-by-turn navigation instructions in good time.

A mountaineer's personal locator beacon might not get the full benefits (unlike a smartphone in an urban area, they probably won't get the fast fix A-GPS provides) but I'd still expect them to get the high sensitivity and multipath rejection modern receivers provide.
