Hey, thanks for that. I started reading through it and it seems like they are largely on AWS and have a $225 million 3 year commitment with them. > The table does not reflect the enterprise agreement and addendum for cloud hosting that w

Their financials on the surface and the growth look really good. Congrats to the whole DataDog team on this! I used it in my previous job and loved it. I love how quick they were to add support for new things and how easy it was to configur

Maybe people(Han Chinese) are not protesting because they know what happens if you protest, look at what happened in Tianamen square. Also, the people who are protesting are crushed like what happens in Tibet or Xinjiang. A strong central g

All the examples you gave are of small countries with largely the same ethnic group. China also is largely Han Chinese but the region is pretty big so it would have differences. Also, areas like Tibet or where Uighurs live will want out.

I looked at the prices and man, even Cho Oyu seems expensive to climb. With permits and everything it looks like $30-40k.

Jimmy Chin, the guy who directed this and went on the climb also directed Free Solo featuring Alex Honold.

Not Kanchenjunga, definitely. :) I don't think I have the will to attempt any eight thousander right now. I will see if I can transition to 7k first.

I personally think it would be wrong to ban it. Also, the criticism the Nepalese government will face in case someone dies because of lack of oxygen will be immense. I have heard stories of experienced climbers suffering from AMS on some cl

Can you elaborate on the weather bit? I can see improvement in predicting snowstorms but how do you predict something as unpredictable as avalanches?

by actuator 7y ago
According to this[1], Kanchenjunga has about 22% fatality rate since 1990, can't find a newer stat. This[1] article mentions 220 climbs so far so it doesn't look like the attempts have increased a lot. [1] https://web.a

Yeah. You can definitely feel the sun there. It is hard to adjust to these areas, but definitely some of the most beautiful I have been to.

I agree with your sentiment mostly but I think rock climbing and mountain expeditions are just different ballgames. I think you can't just label mountain expeditions as deathwish, a big reason people are pulled towards mountaineering i

Because of how it is sold by some of the expedition organizers. Climbing Everest gives you the distinction of climbing the highest mountain in the world and if you have money it can provide good safety to you. So, a lot of people who aren&#

Sun burn and tan. When you spend most of your time at high altitude and don't use some kind of sun block you get that tone. I have seen that tone in local populations at altitudes > 3000m

Can't agree more with this. Social media apps kind of force people to post(show off) about their lives constantly; with people feeling the need to broadcast even trivial things in their life like a morning coffee. Things like stories m

I like talking with the person on the wheel on my Uber rides, unless I am busy with something important. Even when I am in a new place and don't know the local language well, I try to talk to them. It just gives a different perspective

I moved around as a kid and had to change schools, it definitely made keeping in touch with people hard. I can't do "What's up" with people who aren't near as it gets tiring after a while and I prefer hanging out wi

The way TIOBE index ranks, a lot of C and C++ numbers are due to uni courses dealing with it. But it is definitely much more used than something like than Rust.

Calling someone to work with your team is not scalable. It usually is preceded by resume filtering which can be influenced by human biases.

China, sure. India, I am not so sure. All the popular social media platforms(except TikTok) in India are US based. English being the gateway language for most of the influential users, makes it trivial for platforms made in US to capture ma

Object store won't cause Instagram to go down though, no? Assets might fail to load.

Instagram is on GCloud? Facebook has a heavy investment in their own DCs, I thought they would have transitioned to them by now.

As others have said, Safari has vastly inferior dev tools. I am not a fan of the UI at all. Also, Safari generally lags other browsers in supporting features. They added beacon years after others, even Edge had support for it way before Saf
