The tone and content of this document is shockingly candid and frank. I think it did a ton to make Windows Server a better product. I have a lot of respect for the people at MSFT who reviewed the company's own product in such a critical light.

I don't understand who would benefit from money laundering. US military aid is the delivery of weapons systems to Ukraine, purchased by the Federal government from US arms manufacturers. That is money spent in the United States.

People have to stop dying. Putin has demonstrated time and again that this is not going to happen by encouraging his naked aggression.

Forcing a minerals resources deal out of the desperation of a key ally is disgusting, but is the sort of transactional formulation of strongman relations that should be expected of Trump.
I think most Americans value freedom and reject tyranny.

Hm, I wonder if you could do something like a tournament bracket for pitches. Ask it to do pairwise evaluations between business plans/proposals. "If you could only invest in A -OR- B, which would you choose and what is your reasoning?". If you expect ~80% of pitches to be a no, then take the top ~20% of the tourney. This objective is much more neutral (one of them has to win), so hopefully the only way the model can be a "people-pleaser" is to diligently pick the better one.

Obviously, this only works if you have a decent size sample to work from. You could seed the bracket with a 20/80 mix of existing pitches that, for you, were a yes/no, and then introduce new pitches as they come in and see where they land.

Non-text files go into a subdirectory of the top-level "vault" directory, and are then linked like:

Right right. I imagine it was much the same for mechanical engineers during the Industrial Revolution.
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, there is no cogent and respectable argument for why income from labor is taxed at a higher rate than income from capital.

I hope we start there, a very simple and straightforward action to take.

It’s funny but what else would Google do with the AI?
Not totally. The wealthy are incredibly heavily invested in our economy. Take Elon Musk for example. He’s heavily invested in SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter. If he walks away from the US, Tesla, Twitter, and SpaceX are all still here and can’t easily “run away”. Sure, they can take some “mobile wealth”, but if you are very wealthy you can’t just leave a whole economy (that’s where your wealth is).
So you don't believe in society? Or only a society with direct democracy has legitimacy? That's the philosophy of a spoiled selfish child.

You believe every agreement out country makes should reset every 4 years? That the recipe for zero legitimacy in the world and especially isn't going to keep our position in the world.

I have EVERY RIGHT to argue that the USA should honors it's obligations, I have morals and honor unlike people who don't believe obligations they don't like should be honored if they can justify weaseling out of them.

Where did they say anything about moral inferiority?

> I'm sure that will help you persuade them in the future.

Why does this argument only work in one direction? Why can the conservatives mock liberals, "coastal elites", blue cities and states, and more than half of America endlessly and still win? Why

> Interesting that you ignore the fact that the previous president was mentally incapable of the job for increasingly long intervals as his term progressed, and was so incompetent on the Afghanistan withdrawal that he projected tremendous weakness that acted as an invite for Putin to launch a full scale assault less than a year later.

Ironic you talk about "successfully propagandized" earlier and are regurgitating right wing talking points.

> The moral inversion it takes to claim that the people willing to stand agains the Valley's intense social conformity "weak" is also revealing about how brainwashed you truly are. You're just part of the mob, and if you lived in a super conservative place, you'd be part of that mob too. Freethinking requires courage, and I see none of it in the typical SV limousine liberal. Just a bunch of millionaires who hate the billionaires they envy.

It takes special kind of mental gymnastics to end up supporting murderous dictators while talking about "free thinkers", "moral inversion", and "brainwashing". What did they teach you next, whatabouttism?

The problem of "grep but with indents" by making a shell function/script that just invokes the appropriate arcane sed commands.
Pretty similar reason, customers use Azure so the incentives are in place to run more things on Azure.

Case in point at work: we need to set up Azure infrastructure per-customer. Hitting the Azure RM endpoint from outside the Azure network is not reliable; the API endpoint's DNS record points to one of two IP addresses in westus, and when the DNS record flips (presumably for blue/green deployments) the no-longer-referenced IP address immediately aborts the connection. The official Azure Terraform provider throws an error when this happens and it usually results in Terraform state losing track of something that it already created. Azure support just says "well all we see is 200 OK from our side".

The "solution" is to run the Terraform workload from within Azure. The SLA is only really guaranteed if you're connecting to the Azure RM API from within Azure. Cue the insanity.

That's exactly the approach Europe took when dealing with Russia and we now see where it got us.

They’re referring to the binary release, in this case. You can compile Firefox from source at any time (but if you distribute it, you’re not allowed to call it Firefox due to trademark restrictions)

Open source does technically allow you to put restrictions on binary releases, as long as users can do whatever they want with the source code and compile it from scratch.

It really goes against the spirit of open source though.
The reality is there can't be guarantees only temporary peace. If the deal fails, Russia won't attack mineral deposits owned by US. US would probably send troops to "protect" US resources.

How would you distinguish between what you csll TDS and sharing of opinions that are group of intelligent between collectively strongly agree on ...like the fact that Trump ran has run many scams throughout his life including Trump University.

I'm definitely glad that Trumpism has brought the dark underbelly of America so out in the open. At least I'll be able to avoid horrible people like you IRL.
Getting tracked is less secure than not getting tracked.
Kaliningrad likely has some nukes and offer no benefit for Ukraine to hold or even damage. most of the valuable targets for Ukraine would be reachable by long range missiles. No one wants to supply. Sadly the play seems to be increase Ukrainian lethality and force Russia to conscript more Russians from bigger cities to erode support for the conflict.
The means of production is still here, what’s left of it. Lower asset prices will benefit the poor. What should have happened during COVID is the government took a percentage of businesses to the cost of lockdown/furlough (if they were of a certain size) rather than subsidising the asset hoarding class at the expense of workers. Then you give the workers part of these businesses, spend the rest on re-industrialising. It would have caused the biggest economic boom in the UK maybe ever and with all these consumers available to buy things you’d get a lot of investment and some people would use some of this wealth (£1tn in the UK alone, about £15k for every adult and child in the UK) to start small businesses creating an even better economy.

It’s got to be worth a try rather than the disastrous economic policies that got us here.
No disrespect, but I thought the whole point of these magic cloud platforms was that this situation never happens.
The previous model I was referring to was a flat-rate TF Cloud team plan at (in the UK) <$30/month.

There were runtime limits IIRC but there was nothing stopping Hashicorp offering a “per user” fixed rate plan at several hundred dollars per month to enterprises for the same service.

The various clients I’ve worked for who used TF would have lapped this up. RUM (or the equally opaque “call us” - we won’t answer! - enterprise pricing that proceeded it) not so much.
Shouldn't the people of Ukraine decide this?
Presumably it’s a means to an end. The GAI produces convincing replicas of real journalism (who cares if facts are wrong or quotes/citations made up), she gains an online qualification and can get a job at a more prestigious publication?
> property taxes (which are very good, yet seen as unfair by owners, so they stay low)

Property taxes aren't actually good. Consider the economics of new construction: If the net present cost of building new housing is less than its net present value, it gets built.

Net present value is the value of future rents (or rents avoided if you live in it yourself) minus future costs, each discounted by the time value of money. Property tax is a future cost, so it reduces net present value, so you get less construction until rents increase to cover the cost of the property tax.

If you don't like high rents, you don't like property tax.

> Taxes at sale time

This too is a problem if you want people to downsize once they no longer need a piece of property, but e.g. raising the exemption amount so that approximately nobody is paying this tax would then not cost a lot in terms of revenue because as it is the problem is that people are already avoiding the tax by not selling.

If you tax something you get less of it. It's not different when you tax housing.

Agreed. Chamberlain used Britain's soft power for world peace with great effect.
China will benefit the most from this. Europe has zero interest in backing up the US in a fight for Pacific dominance. Good luck trying to form a trading block that excludes China now.

They had this "huge opportunity" for last 4 years.

there will be 4.5o 4.6 because the reality is with an unknown slight change of weights they can increase pricingx fold meaning in reality do nothing but change brand and increase consumption costs on client side substantially.
Shameful, embarrassing and disturbing is putting it lightly in my opinion.

The thing that is sad for me is I just feel like I don't have an iota of anything in common with people that could possibly support this kind of behavior. For so long I've been struggling to empathize with Trump supporters. I certainly understand the anger at the Democrats and Democratic leadership (I often share that anger myself). I understand the anger at the direction of the slow societal breakdown I've seen in many parts of the country (and which, ironically, I feel that Vance elucidated very well in Hillbilly Elegy). I understand many of the policy differences.

But it's what I see as the complete moral baselessness and behavior I can only describe as narcissistically bizarre that I just fundamentally can not understand. So often I hear myself saying "Imagine how any other politician would have reacted 20 years ago". And now it's like so many people are OK with stuff like this (never mind that insane Gaza video from just yesterday...)

I simply cannot understand it. And to be honest, I'm not sure I want to understand it, beyond seeing the whole Trump movement through the lens of something like a cult. I just have never been so ashamed of my country in my life.
> - quora pivoted from quality content to cheap clickbait

Huh? If you follow the right people and only interact content that you like, Quora is still as good. Just like any other social network.

People click stuff they don't like and they end up getting the same kind of thing served for 2-3 days and then think that its 'site gone bad'. No my good man.

Its just how the social network engagement algorithms work. You gotta watch what you interact with. Even if you drop a comment to correct someone, it still counts as an engagement and you'll get more of it. So the best thing to do when you see content you don't like is to ignore it.
There is essentially no tooling for this and vendors all default to distributed patterns. Either you directly control the scaling or you're relinquishing it.

What exactly is the classic grift Merkel did?
Yeah but the patient is just a biological machine. This machine can easily be divided into organs and apportioned among specialists. The machine is easily understood by a corpus of research and laboratory experimentation.

. Many inputs can be placed in the machine by physicians, and the outputs are known. The biological machines can easily be isolated from environment, or monitored with high technology, and assigned numbers in databases to be processed in data centers.

Value is extracted from the biological machines mostly from government and 3rd party sources, so there is no real need to rely on machines having a means or will of their own.

There is no compelling reason to treat humans any different from automobiles for the purposes of medicine and medical treatment. In fact humans are less genetically diverse than motor vehicles, and A new model year will always produce a bumper crop of lemons to work on.

I think that NAT is a major reason why P2P and self hosting failed to take off in any significant way. I think that the internet would have been a wildly different place were IPv6 widespread in the early '00s.

It’s lost all respect from its allies and its enemies are excited at the new world order that has been built. Frankly I had admired the US my whole life and I now detest it and want Western civilisation to shun it completely.
>>> Ukraine isn’t in NATO

Ukraine’s potential NATO membership is one of Russia’s main demands for ending the war. Additionally, Ukraine participated in the coalition that invaded Iraq in 2003.
Using managed services is not a pointless endeavor – they can save you a lot of time (and therefore money).

Unless you need to switch providers, at which point it may take more time to adjust for differences in how those managed services operate.

Managed services are absolutely not the main reason for moving to the cloud. Companies do it for the flexibility that comes with renting the real estate/energy/hardware instead of owning it.

One thing I don't understand is how the surgeon ensures the lens is positioned correctly. We're talking about a rigid lens that can no longer be controlled via muscles, right? Doesn't any misalignment mean you get a fuzzy image at best? And even if you can get a sharp image for some given, fixed distance, you still can't control whether to focus on near things or far things when you look, right??
If by "resolving" a war you mean forcing the victim into a surrender and making the agressor a victor than sure.

You seem to forget the obligations the US has when they signed (and made Ukraine sign) the Budapest memorandum. In which Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for protection of their sovereignty. The US since 2014 (invasion of Crimea) failed to uphold their part of the deal.

Puffin Tools – Free WebAssembly tools in the browser
Hi! I wanted to share my little "adventure" that I had in the past ~2 weeks. Basically, I got tired of constant thinking and I decided to build something, anything.

By accident I learned about thing called WebAssembly (basically you can execute pretty complicated programs locally in the browser without sending anything anywhere) so I immediately assumed that it could be used for a set of small, private tools.

Usually I am building with Python, Django, PostgreSQL, hosting it on PythonAnywhere. So this time I decided that I will step out of my comfort zone even further! So I went with:
- Rust (for tools that will be compiled to WebAssembly)
- Zola (static site generator since I don't need anything "dynamic")
- AWS S3 + AWS CloudFront (for hosting this static website)
(I even used AWS to generate my SSL certificate)

Let me know what you think, and of course if I can already sell my website for million dollars :D

Cheers!
Neither the US nor the EU want to directly fight Russia. A security guarantee is only credible if they are able and willing to fight Russia. That's why.
I mean that ideology is, practically speaking, what "the West" is.

But certainly in the UK it was a party of "the left" that invaded Iraq with the US. It was a party of "the left" that invaded Afghanistan with the US. And it was a party of "the left" that is now bolstering the military after a decade of decline by a party of "the right".

"The left" were fighting fascism across Europe in the last century, from the International Brigade in Spain to the Soviets against Hitler.

The actual problem The West has now is that the guarantor of military power has gone. Trump and Vance were literally shouting propaganda from Russian state media to Zelensky (look up starting WW3, or VIP tours) and making false equivalency between being invaded and defending your country.

Trump has carried out the biggest rug-pull in history and aligned the USA with Russia. Against The West.
