I’m grateful for our local “community telcos” that deliver far faster connectivity and far lower prices, and with generally great service. I have toyed with the idea of starting one for my current neighborhood (low density residential, so n

> The dream is that your kids make a steady income at something they can enjoy or at least tolerate while not risking their physical health. Yep. The thing is, white collar (desk) jobs are bad for your health; physical and mental. I love

> I don't know a single person who has encouraged their kids to skip college and go into the trades. Same-ish here. I have a brother in the trades (of seven siblings) and at least two cousins. But out of 23 nieces and nephews, zero

So as a CTO, why do people think it’s extra cool that I build wooden boats, too? One of my role models is a retired Chevrolet mechanic who has never had to worry about money. The stigma is just one more tragic falsehood that echoes around u

The trades seem like a great gig these days.

In the face of this I give up trying to identity business opportunities. Stealing sand to sell on the black market? Hundreds of billions in revenue? I’m out - I clearly suck at this capitalism thing.

I saw this as well. Shall we call it “entanglement “?

I think of the word in the context of the attempt, rather than the outcome. We agree on the situation, but I do think folks are “falling for it” as they are the storyline of job scarcity (also pure BS as we sit, though it may become true).

Many people are being told “you work better in the office“ by their leadership. If that’s not gaslighting I’m not sure what it is.

I’d quibble that the Cascades don’t have an age as they have continually been destroyed and renewed. They started at some point and have never stopped. What I mean by “the gorge” is what is monumental. The river was there, but what we admir

Yep. And one of the likely outcomes of global warming is an accelerated shift back to such conditions, ironically. None of this stuff is likely today, but it will all inevitably repeat.

One of my favorite such observations is in winter. Arriving at the top of the Mt Hood Express chairlift, soaking in blue sky and white snow, a smell of sulfur is often in the air. The magma chamber of this “potentially active” volcano is ve

This kind of “inevitable uncertainty” is uncomfortable. It will happen, and becomes more likely as time goes on, but it’s unlikely to happen today or tomorrow. It’s possibly catastrophic, but likely to be “only” severe. Geology in Oregon i

It’s not after an investigation begins, it’s the moment that it’s likely or foreseeable that an legal action may come. Basically, if you think you might be in trouble and you delete stuff, you definitely are. Edit: illegal -> a legal

I think that is the author's point -- it's a very different set of needs and expectations.

No, it's a job. Sound investment management is just a lot of work, and takes education, training and experience. It isn't about "get rich quick" after some point; it's about staying rich. Right?

Almost unusably so, as I’m trying new letter rapidly.

Indeed. The header reads to me as “the server says this content length will be…” so I have always taken precautions with it. Servers can be wrong as well as malicious.

Absolutely right. My point is just that it isn’t that people couldn’t, but that they can’t. The former meaning that people generally do have the needed skills, the latter meaning they don’t have the opportunity.

I don’t know that it’s really that rare. I look around and I see people with the fiscal responsibility, knowledge and ability to get things done in every quarter.

Agreed. Adding the employee point of view would make this tool an excellent education piece. It’s always a struggle to explain.

Fair, but it's also true that many of the positions eliminated were actually unfilled (paper shuffling). It's so hard to tell the facts from the spin.

Can you explain? Unemployment is still very, very low and there are hundreds of thousand of open positions out there. Not sure about game companies, hence my asking.

Yeah, these days stopping force pushes is a checkbox (default?) in GitHub.

Per IPv6 address? It’s very difficult (impossible?) to even make IPv4 based rate limiting work.

by mlhpdx 3y ago
Yep. Very likely they are using API Gateway with Usage Plans, which is a very simple and effective way to do rate limiting and quotas.
