I felt slightly more comfortable when I thought the really rich people were just cynically promoting views that benefitted them in some way. It is disconcerting to realize that a lot of them truly have batshit crazy and extreme views.

They put a whole lot of children onto a plane in the middle of the night to deport them. This was only stopped because laywers got wind of it and a federal judge intervened almost immediately on the weekend. They are trying to bypass any re

Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it comes with drastically lower chances of serious illness or death than the actual infection. There were plenty of studies comparing immunity through infection and vaccination pretty early on. One

There certainly were stupid comments by politicians on this topic. But I don't think the vaccines were oversold, they did exactly what was claimed initially. That the virus would mutate this much was not something that scientists could

Next.js isn't React. Plain React has been pretty stable, if you ignore server components. And it's quite easy to ignore them despite all the noise around them, they're entirely optional.

Most people arrested by ICE now have no criminal record.

What they have said previously is that they consider someone looking hispanic as probable cause. I don't see any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Of course it has. They're checking people that look "foreign".

The absolutely outrageous thing is that apparently they are instructed to ignore all other evidence of citizenship if that app says someone is not a citizen. So even if you have your birth certificate ready, doesn't matter. This is com

A large part of the different views on this topic are due to the way people estimate the amount of saved effort and money because you're pushing some admin duties to the cloud provider instead of doing this yourself. And people come to

But the middleware would usually not work on the raw http request, but the version already parsed by Kestrel. So everything should see the same version of the request, the one with the non-spec-compliant parsing by Kestrel.

Databases like Postgres have well established ways to handle that. And if you're setting up the DB yourself, you absolutely need to do backups anyway. And a replica on a different server.

I prefer paper ballots. I'm in a country that uses paper ballots exclusively. I didn't make that argument here because the topic was voting machines.

In other countries everyone has an ID automatically. That is a requirement to use IDs for voting. You need a proper national ID system, not the hodgepodge of random identity documents the US uses.

The absolute number of people doesn't matter. If you have more people voting, you can have more people counting. If you have more people, you have more polling stations, you can keep the size of them constant no matter your total popul

The system is a whole bunch of people from different parties being present when votes are collected and counted. And with paper ballots you need to do the fraud in many different polling stations. It is possible to do small-scale fraud with

Other countries get preliminary election results the same day even with hand-counted paper ballots. So even that isn't impossible.

The software doesn't matter that much. If you want to use voting machines, you need to create a paper trail with them that can be audited. Auditing the software isn't enough if you can't reliably verify that this is actually

Do you consider all taxes to be theft?

Not going to defend the messaging here, they really didn't do a good job. But the US was doing better than most western countries and inflation was getting lower. Problem is, the inflation that already happened was still there. And tha

That's only the number the journalists could figure out, as the article states at the top the government doesn't track this number.

Trump is affecting the economy of other countries. The tariffs and the massive uncertainty is causing layoffs and makes companies more hesitant to invest. The destruction of US scientific institutions has effects on other countries as well,

When I argue about stuff like this on the internet, I'm never talking to just the person I'm replying to. It's always mostly for the other readers.

You deny that ICE has arrested US citizens and only released them after hours or days? You deny that Trump and his family are using their political status to earn money? You that Trump's tarrif policy is erratic, with vague announcemen

So you want a dictator? You want random tariffs based on Trump's gut feeling? You want foreign-looking US citizens to be detained at will by ICE? You want every part of the government to be corrupt, rampant insider trading based on pol

I'm entirely confused. Am I right to assume that the actual exploit isn't published yet and still under embargo? Or am I missing some explanation of the actual issue here?

They probably don't need one for the application servers. And they probably already have a backup strategy for their DBs.

I would doubt that this is categorically true. Serverless inherently makes the whole architecture more complex with more moving parts in most cases compared to classical web applications.

by fabian2k 1y ago
At that point, why should I use serverless at all? If I have to think about the lifetime of the servers running my serverless functions?
