Abstracting over Cloud vendors is not a use case for Terraform itself. The value it brings is that you get to specify your infrastructure 'as code', which means you'll be able to re-create it from code, and reliably deploy ch

You didn't actually respond to the comment. Both stemming from Marxism doesn't somehow make them magically the same, as you seem to be implying. Again, China's 'socialism' is very different nearly all variations fou

Hopefully other courts will follow. There's talk in France of making ecocide a crime against humanity, this judgement is also partly based on a humans rights arguments. I know we still enjoy our chocolate icecream with slave labour fro

Shell has always countered the argument that they should to more to reduce CO2 emissions by making the government responsible for forcing them. They say they even asked the government to intervene, as it's unrealistic to expect a compa

It can be if you haven't tried any other of the big cloud vendors. In my experience, it's one of the best documented services I have ever used, especially considering it's so vast.

This is a good point. But I do also think that a perspective of despair is part and parcel of depression. It may depend of the kind of depression though. From my own experience with depression, it's the lack of joy rather than the sadn

Yeah, it's weird the author didn't discuss these positive aspects of the lockdowns and other measures. There's plenty of mention and data to support it, like decreased number of miscarriages. Anecdotally, I know a number of A

The problem with this is not censorship, but corporations having reached a global scale while democracy is by and large stuck on the national level. Being accountable to some level of democratic governance is not the bane of free speech and

I know you are saying this because it sounds absurd, but in a way it seems to be kind of what we're doing right now, but slowly. The rich are eating the poor. I don't think the rich necessarily intend to, but in consumerist societ

What kind of health problems did you have? I'm at 30 years vegetarian and my blood work has even improved when I started eating mostly vegan. I won't say I'm super fit, but I feel that's mostly due to lack of exercise. N

Really impossible to compare. There are very good subreddits, even better than HN, and then there's stuff like r/The_Donald. HN is just a single community, reddit has tons. It also just depends on your subject of interest and what

You seem to assume deplatforming is not effective, is that true? Or do you disagree with it on moral grounds? I mean, 'we' (as in 'the west') try to deplatform Jihad based terrorism. I think it's a pretty effective

Not being listened to is very different from being silenced.

Mitigation: don't try to overthrow a democratic government. If you want to build meinspace, be prepared to secure a server in Switzerland or something. I mean, video inciting violence in the name of the Jihad are also taken offline. Th

Some people use chat software for more than just chitchatting and want the history as a memory. This is the reason why mattermost exists - the devs lost their chat history of some enterprise solution and thought: never again. So they create

Really? I can't believe that. I mean, in a sense, all software is just a vehicle for the data it processes, and the actual value lies in the data - not the software. That data is chats for Signal. If they think that's worthless, e

If by conservative you mean antisemitism, white supremacy, far out conspiracy, racism and hate speech: then yes they banned 'conservative' platforms. That's trying to make a cultural war of broadly accepted, democratic values

Sleeping at night is invariably achieved by dehumanizing the exploited. Chinese lives don't matter much, they are not Americans. Commies live on scraps. Such acts of othering make it easy to circumvent your conscience, this is the foun

Teams is basically a different interface for sharepoint with video + chat on top, modeled after slack. They seem to have thought: slack is cool because it has integrations, let's do that even better by giving our customers an iframe in

That's part of it. There are lots of workers who do care about their tools though. There is just one little problem. They are often not the people who get to decide on where the company spends its money. We are a Microsoft shop by and

Even in the case of an investigation, there's the option for the authorities to request a time lag. There's lot of options, we need to discuss this in depth weighing them all.

This is it. Most other answers focus on one or two things gitlab does, but the essence of Gitlab is that they provide a platform for the whole development cycle, including planning, design, deployment, monitoring, analytics, incident manage

Well, facebook is designed to exploit addictive behavior so it should be no surprise. I think you are right, but there is a larger group who merely think they 'have it under control' and are unaware of how unhealthy their use of

You do know that enforcing the law is the reason we have police in the first place? You're saying if people would only not break the law, then the police would not misbehave. Yes, that's true of course, for there would be no polic
