   For noise, that should be local police enforcing it. Unfortunately, American local police are somewhere between neo-Nazis and actively useless.

   Caste discrimination is bad but I do worry that passing bills like this will make employers less willing to hire south Asians. America has shown a tendency to burden south Asian populations with the downside effects of its regulations (TSA

   Another thing to notice: they use the highly nonstandard time zone abbreviation “PDT”. This works because they’re a US-only airline but if an international airline did this, they’d be in for a world of hurt.

   It’s absolutely crazy to me that other companies free-ride off of companies like Hashicorp and Mongo’s work and the free-riders are the ones many - particularly on this site - support.

    Privacy advocates should reconcile themselves with the idea that sometimes people want to share their data. If I owned a Tesla, I’d enjoy using this framework to put data about my driving into a google sheet. Private information means the

    I never understood the complaints of complexity about AWS. You can easily just use EC2 and maybe S3 and ignore the other 100 icons. I think, in practice, what folks are complaining about is that AWS has the worst UI known to man. In which c
