I used to agree with you, back when S3 defaulted to public or at the very least made public a very easy checkbox. These days it defaults to private and you have to click many warnings and unhide options to even expose the public options. Th

I'd also encourage you to learn about how recently it was legal to, e.g., redline districts in cities. It became illegal in 1977, but that doesn't mean that it stopped then. If you legally forced minorities out from owning the pro

What you are asking is a diversion -- he's not a minority, he's part of the dominant social group (at least from my reading). I'm not saying his experiences didn't happen, I'm saying they contradict the wider view.

> No normal parent has said anything even remotely like that in the last 30 years. You haven't been exposed to a very broad range of parents. I've seen parents who very tightly control which toys, clothes, and grooming choices

> Racism absolutely does imply intent. I'm sorry, but your opinion here does not match with either practical, common, or academic definitions for racism. People have internal biases all the time that cause them to be averse to parti

I don't believe the data aligns with your anecdotes. While you may feel that is the experience today, I would be surprised if it represented the wider system as a whole.

Chicago Manual of Style says either is ok. It's pretty typical to capitalize, e.g. Hispanic, Arab, Asian, but Black and White have a slightly different use and capitalization history. The AP, I believe, prefers lowercasing both. Some p

Stereotyping and racism are not mutually exclusive. In this case, people are making inferences that the BIPOC is not the CEO. Racism doesn't imply intent either. It absolutely can be the case that someone unknowingly makes a racist inf

It doesn't happen to me, so it doesn't exist is fallacious. (Or at the very least, anecdotal and not useful.) There are plenty of things that have never happened to me, despite it being possible/probable that they should. In

I divided the total enrollment number from Google by 4. My investigation was not super thorough, I'm happy to correct it, though I think the point still stands.

Harvard has 2400 professors and admits about 6000 students each year. Each professor might have a child that is at college age, but most won't. And parental admittance isn't a guarantee. We're talking about a negligible numbe

That's a paid account. It's just paid with Metadata rather than dollars.

Are there examples of before/after shots? My memory of these games is a little fuzzy and tinged with nostalgia. The images feel crisper than I remember the games being, but it would be great to see a side by side example.

I guarantee a cottage industry of YouTubers would pop up digesting and rewrapping that content. Today, it's probably too inaccessible for them to do so.

That's $1/million requests for the first 300m requests each month, not $1/300m requests. It still increases the cost of running Lambda a whole lot, but that seems pretty reasonable for the projects I'm running.

Have they figured out how to make API Gateway not cost an arm and a leg yet? I absolutely adore Lambda for side projects, but every time I wire up API Gateway I'm worried I'm going to saddle myself with a huge bill.

I consistently see discussions about tech unions being bad things, but I'm equally seeing articles like this where a company holds all the power to keep you unemployed. This seems like exactly the sort of thing I'd want a tech uni

When I was leaving Amazon, the logic was generally -- don't go to the same org in a different company. E.g. if you work in S3, don't go to Google Cloud Storage. If you land in ads or maps or search or whatever, that should be fine

I have, in the past, purchased from a local farmer whose cows lived well. I'm not opposed to the idea of eating meat, but here in the states of you get meat somewhere you haven't vetted, the provenance probably includes animal cru

Stuff like this is why I don't eat meat. Combined with the ag-gag laws that prevent this from being more exposed, it's wild how inhumane our treatment of animals has become. https://theintercept.com/2017/10&#x

Both of those have been discussions for much longer than two years. There's at least a decade of discussions around those two examples. Edit: closer to two decades - in 2003 LA asked electronics manufacturers not to use the language. P

Yeah? I don't see evidence that every two years a new word gets brigaded in source code. Do you have examples of projects this has been happening to? If not, this seems like a slippery slope fallacy.

The Mayor ordered them to stop using one specific type of tear gas -- CS gas -- last Friday. For one day, the police used alternatives including mace, pepper balls, steel cored rubber bullets, flashbangs, and smoke with irritating agents. H

Yeah, I expect it'll be an eddy in the river of history and expend its energy pretty quickly. But it has some folks involved that have leadership experience, so it'll be interesting to watch.

Seattle police vacated the east precinct, fully expecting protesters to burn it down. Instead, the protesters set up an open zone, compiled a set of demands, and from all accounts set up something cool and unique. Here's hoping it sust

Wood can even be carbon negative if you bury a portion of the biochar. Obviously, there's some challenges in scaling a biochar industry in terms of space, efficiency, etc., but it is possible .

Do you mean censored or censured? The two words are similar, but I have a hard time imagining how the "green industry" (who is this, btw?) could censor something.
