Oh it's not usually "fair" per se, but it's not like some people would get more than others (if done well), it's more like you don't always control all of the factors that get used to determine your bonus. Like

Good, then we tank legislation. Fewer laws seems fine by me, and the laws that do pass will be based on a groundswell of support that comes in waves.

It fits the very definition of a pre-crime because you don't have a problem with how they're currently using that information (sparsely to catch criminals), only with how they might , in the future, use that information.

And I'm grateful people like you aren't actually able to implement pre-crime divisions! It sounds arrogant, to me, to be so sure you know what the outcome will be of a given situation, considering all of the necessary ingredients

Waste is not "therefore" a business opportunity, especially intellectual "waste". Part of being a free person is the ability to choose how you spend your own time. Just because you consider other people's choices t

> Unfortunately 52 senators get to control the agenda, and they get to decide what is "affordable" and "too expensive." How else would you prefer this to be? Of course a majority of Senators get to control the agenda

Slippery slope arguments are a fallacy. If something bad happens, or is proposed, we can address it when the bad thing happens or is proposed. Nothing actually bad is happening or is proposed here.

It's illegal to go through someone else's mail, and that was the hypothetical you proposed. My argument is not that it's fine as long as the likelihood for abuse is low, my argument is that it's fine as long as there has

I have a failure of actual data of problems occuring. We all deal with "sky is falling" person on our development teams, and it's pointless doomsaying then as it's pointless doomsaying now. When the bad things happens, w

And I think this view is irrational. Privacy for its own sake is effectively hoarding, and as you clearly show, hoarding can be caused by fear, which you have for Google and the justice system. A numerate person would know how rare these t

I think you're taking this way further than anyone actually involved would. IF what you're saying ever did even come close to occurring, we both know Google would shut it down quickly. Not just because it's horrible, but

Yeah, like I said, you give up some of your rights in order for a prosperous society to exist. I'm not denying the right exists, I'm saying we give up our other rights all the time for the benefit of society, why is privacy any di

This just seems extreme to me, considering how you've likely never been in this scenario and will in all likelihood not ever be in a scenario where you wouldn't give the police this information but Google would (e.g. your own home

I don't know if Cognito is an access control solution per se, since it doesn't support any kind of AuthZ (AFAICT) out of the box.

Eh, you can keep being confused and frustrated with how your organization treats you, or you can try to understand their perspective. Up to you.

Ah, you've already fallen into the trap; it's not about the "optimal", it's about the "functional". Very, very few people are paid to find the "optimal" anything. The trust you're looking f

Your job as an engineer, broadly, is to bring order to the disordered. You only rarely have enough time to fully understand the problem before trying to solve it. The real, fundamental mistake being danced around here is the failure to rec

This is a site for American laypeople primarily, so yeah I do think it an odd choice.

Not sure I know enough to have an opinion about that; what I've been commenting about is the "nudge is dead" attitude that I don't think is warranted.

Hm? I just think it matters if the letter (the original submission) is correct or not.

As someone who actually does use AWS, it was not "perfectly fine". Far from it, in fact. The biggest benefit from this redesign is the very clear insight into billing you now get. Right on the main page, you see your billing

Odd to present temperature in Celsius for a US state, but otherwise very cool! I wish it were easier to see the moments when demand and capacity were at their closest, as those are the "interesting" moments.

You can argue or disagree all day long about what OS is best for development, but it's not reasonable to think that developers on MacOS would only write code for MacOS servers. You can very successfully write code that runs on Linux on

"The old UI was better" should be a bus people who say it get on and that bus should drive off into the sunset so the rest of us never have to hear such a boring take ever again.
