Am I the only one who feels like a 40 hour work week is excessive? I feel like 8 hours of work in a day is eeking out diminishing returns on a persons productivity. Secondly, if you account for "productivity" hours instead of &quo

Only circumstantially in IMHO. Obscurity can be a semi-decent security tool in some situations, and in others completely and utterly useless. It depends on what you're trying to secure.

For sure, though I will say if you're trying to cut costs, it's my understanding serverless is quite cheap. So if you can turn some of your services into serverless containers/functions. I'd highly recommend it.

I'm as atheist as they come, but I guess it's a little weird how many religions describe the earth as being completely covered in water initially. Maybe it's a coincidence and a natural progression in thought when thinking up

I get the same impression to some extent, but I'd be hardpressed to say I wouldn't cave and do the same thing to be completely honest. Who wants to work a 9-5 their entire life? I personally don't.

Wow I had no idea those ads on wikipedia were blatant lies. I've never donated but I've definitely thought about it a few times whenever I saw those ads. This is somewhat eye-opening.

Children grouping together for school is a massive transmission vector no? I don't think this is necessarily about protecting specifically kids and rather reducing transmission.

Domain names are not one time purchases? Secondly are you referring to monthly or yearly? They sometimes do flash deals which might be why you got it for one year at that price (assuming you paid that yearly). But the discounts usually don&

Honestly it just seems mostly coincidental to me. Reddit has downtimes every other day or every few days, and twitter only slightly less. The only unique downtime here is github, and even then it has been a bit since their last down time.

Everyone is in bed with each other. They all inside trade, they all bribe each other for different leverages. And a lot of plebeians support it ironically.

Socialism lacks checks and balances because it's a decentralized/distributed model of rule. Now in reality it's possible the military could exist as a pseudo "check and balance". But checks and balances do not exist

My last company did stuff like this all the time, and it always felt hollow and very kumbaya. I think there is a less cheesy and even demeaning way to handle people's emotions and disagreements. This is probably a pretty personal opini

It comes back to distribution of power and if you believe power is all corrupting or not. You either have some guys in charge managing things, or you attempt a distributed/mob rules mentality in regards to policies and legislation. Eit

Though we observe the effects of the double slit experiment on the wall with the interference pattern. Thereby not collapsing the system and taking a screenshot of the un-collapsed system? I would argue the wall is an unconscious camera in

I mean, this is so far out of my wheel house I can't even claim to know anything about this stuff. But why couldn't a form of an unconscious camera exist? We could theoretically just look at pictures of the past from an unconsciou

I agree, it has been so intolerable I've been using firefox because it just feels faster. I'm getting really fed up with google projects as of late just being abandoned. Like GMail is awful[ https://medium.com/@bori

We actually agree with each other so I'm struggling to see what your point is that contradicts mine. I explicitly said what I'm talking about isn't necessarily directly applicable to amazon kindle. I also agreed with you rega

Honestly that's somewhat nonsense. People don't just believe whatever they want to believe, education and diffusion of information has radically changed humanity over the last few centuries and you're fooling yourself if you

Haha I think that's the point of OP's post IMO, and people were even discussing this dichotomy in that thread as well. Total gold, nothing in this world is clean or definitive.

This looks super cool. Though somewhat offtopic, this line absolutely cracked me up. >A VPS (or bare-metal server if you wanna ball hard). I can appreciate a sense of humor.

Very different concepts actually. One is optimizing/improving experience based on anonymous data, the other is building user profiles for targeted ads. Mapbox is a fantastic example of mass data aggregation of users that has been anony

This isn't necessarily sinister. I know UI/UX designers and a lot of them talk about wanting a heatmap of clicks on a given webpage for experience reasons. They want to know where and what you're clicking and how often so the

I fail to understand what your product offering is by looking at your site. Could explain what exactly is trying to be achieved by this product and why I would even want a carbon credit cert?

I experience a lot of what OP describes but obviously am not OP. It's tough though, who wants to take the anti-anxiety medication that we don't really understand every day for the rest of their life? Just for you to eventually not

IMHO I think one large part of it is synchronization. If you're having to synchronize things all the time, you're probably misusing threads and should be using a different execution model.

Literally just semantics and opinion. What's the difference between symbolism and meaningful moments for some? And yeah, everyone is aware you don't remember anything when you die. When I die, I want to die in a way that impacts t

I would disagree with that idea that the vast amount of irrelevant and distracting content is somehow the problem. Believe it or not it's an incredibly challenging problem. Google is burned at the stake everyday for their biased respon

I don't really agree with the idea that people are being too critical of FB, or these massive social media giants in general. People vastly underestimate the power of data IMHO and therefore the responsibility that comes with it. We&#x

That's kinda non-sensical IMO. If Oracle, the parent company is trigger happy, there are no guarantees they won't go deeper to protect their children companies IP if they feel they're being infringed.

It's my understanding good sysadmins have always been able to script. It's bridging the gap between software developers and sysadmins where devops falls into place. Taking applications and optimizing their environments, rollouts,
