If retail stores are making record breaking profits, why are service workers paid so little? If medical costs are so high, why aren't nurses and nurse aids making more? It's not rocket science. People aren't getting paid for

The original premise was that trades are where all the money is, and Gen Z should be listening to that. My point is that we were previously told: the money is in college degrees, the money is in STEM, the money is in nursing. And people inv

Look up the history of the Monroe Doctrine for the US. The US overthrew (or attempted to overthrow) any government in the Western Hemisphere that allied with the USSR. Even now, imagine how the US would react if Mexico declared a military a

While I of course condemn Russia invading, and support the US and NATO funding Ukraine's defense, a very cynical read of the situation would conclude exactly this. US and NATO diplomats were crystal clear that after the USSR's fal

Correct. No matter how down AWS is, their status page will only show a disruption if a manager approves showing a disruption. There is nothing automated to display the status, so the status page is mostly worthless except for whatever AWS a

When you're administering a server, that's the difference between Silence and Suspend. If a server's content causes problems but it'd be fine if users followed them, then they're "Silenced" (on some server

The only problem with doing this could be mail deliverability. But if you setup SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and use a mail service, it works fine if you're not spamming. Mailgun, Amazon SES, Mxroute, they'll all deliver your mail an

Trying to pass the compliance risk on to the engineers is insane. And I don't think the FTC buys it. It's a long shot because the ultra wealthy rarely have to face real consequences in America, but there's a real possibility
