Which means that some representatives, elected by fewer people, hold as much power (1 voice) as others (elected by more people). Which means their own voices are effectively not equals. If you're fine with it, fine for you.

9/11 _enabled_ the Bush admin to provoke a war on an unrelated country, which destabilized even further an already complex area. It's not like it was an automatic consequence. It was a choice.

On the other hand, it effectively makes the voices of each and every citizen of the USA not equals among themselves.

k8s is nice, yes. But, by its age, no more standardized now, than MySQL was 15 years ago. k8s also adresses a very small portion of the market. If you have to scale, yes, you might need k8s. Chances are, you don't. Really. I stopped co

no downtime deployments? happened before k8s; used to do that several times with some haproxy. distributed jobs? same; nothing prevents from spawning runners with adhoc libraries and queues. managed infra? not specific to k8s

This one is proprietary to them. The "open source" format/practice exists already: just bounce your mix into separate audio files, one for each track or group, into a folder, zip it, ship. Only, it's not (yet) much embra

Wouldn't it be much more efficient for everyone (and even lucrative for the owners) to also provide the studio stems at a slightly higher/different price? (not that some of these are not already available when you know where to se

Interesting take. Incidentally, the past 30 years have precisely seen the disappearance, but in very select types of businesses, of secretary/assistant/aide roles.

My experience is that the too-talkative person is either discrediting more and more oneself ("leaving no doubt" about it) or it bores people away completely from the subject/platform/conversation at hand. It's like,

Right, but a type system is as good as it is used. And Java having a good one is no protection against the development cultures of large (consulting or non-tech) companies where the main metric is not the performance of the software neither

> You can, but in my experience, most people don't. The same argument can be said of all languages. It's true with PHP because the language is popular. It's true with Java, because the language is pop^Wthe holy grail of en

To slow down the spread and ultimately reduce the number of people that will get to go in ICUs, go on a ventilator and/or die. Because those _are_ preventable, if they don't get infected. That, in turn, buys time to medical resear

That would be ignoring the extent of the economic/societal damage that is caused by the disease itself, would there not be any intervention to try to control the spread and its consequences on the medical infrastructure as well as all

The flu, even with vaccines, does not overwhelm medical personel, facilities and logistics as this does. And the total death toll, given the current dynamics, is already going way way worse than the flu.

Containment at the source should have started at least in early December 2019 to be effective. And even then, that would likely not have been effective (because the severity of the epidemic was not asserted widely & seriously enough by

So, the short story here would be: EU proposed to help & coordinate action but individual governments failed to acknowledge/assess how unprepared they were (going to be), as they did not assess the threat properly. And their joint

The famous "multi cloud" or "cloud agnostic" thing. We're not there yet. AWS, GCP & Azure still feel like a lot like PC, Amiga and Macintosh at this moment.

It is always an option. It starts with replying "I don't have Facebook and won't sign up to this thing" to everyone that explain that they are only on Facebook; even before you close your account. Just signalling that Fa

Of course. You add your intent of curation/collection. The part that's original to you is the curation itself. Not the songs being collected themselves. It's the same with instruments that generate a sound (whether mechanical
