I'd be OK with this if they'd split the savings with me--at least in some cases. I don't always need an "MD Doctor."

Was this part of the big change they did a few months ago to use credit card numbers that vendors can't see as temporary / prepaid? I'm not sure about what you're describing, but it's been substantially more useful

Not all. But the vast majority. And they're the ones that have experience using them, too.

It's not about property rights--it's about control of land and resources. Look at this map and tell me how you defend the blue areas against the red ones: https://brilliantmaps.com/2020-county-election-map/ A

Same here. I was truly surprised at how fast the CO2 goes up with our gas stove on. The only thing worse is when we use our unvented gas logs in the fireplace. We're switching houses next month and I'm seriously considering puttin

AWS SSO solves it better, and for any number of AWS accounts. I still use aws-vault, though, when I'm not in a position to set up AWS SSO.

Is "we" white people? Or voters? I grew up in a fairly rural area, but I've lived close to a big city for the last few years. Am I also morally in the wrong by choosing to leave? How many months of living as a white person in

Oceans and islands, sure, but suburbs? Can one not morally choose to live, grow wealth, and pay taxes in one town instead of another? Is this escaping one's social responsibilities? And while "white flight" due to bona fide r

Sure, and I guess that'd be fine for commercial applications. When you have a potential clog, though, you certainly want to be able to visibly verify the flush is working as expected before leaving. Of course, that could be solved with

I'm with you, but I'm pretty impressed by this demo, too. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this concept took over gaming the same way F2P games did. In a perfect world, I guess ideally publishers would make (at least) a sing

I'm going through job interviews now (not with Amazon, but others). The whole thing feels like well-rehearsed regurgitation. Well, and a smidge of acting, obviously, because you don't want it to come off as well-rehearsed. But the

It'd be a fun social experiment if one of the big tech companies replaced the leetcode-style rounds with something arbitrary. Let's say: The "jumping jacks" round. You have to turn your webcam on and do 100 jumping jacks

There will be substantial amounts of code you are writing to provision, set up, maintain, scale, and troubleshoot all of those things. Whether you call it app code or not, it's something that you (and your team) will be on the hook for

It sounds like we're using different definitions of the word "self-hosted." If you have your own on-premises lab or colo rental, you're not using AWS/GCP/Hetzner/DO, and you've got a lot of undifferen

This doesn't feel like a meaningful distinction. You can go from an empty cloud account to a fully-provisioned application stack in minutes with the right infra-as-code. Provisioning infrastructure at that level is mutually exclusive w

CDK code also isn't executed at runtime . Even if it somehow is slower to develop and harder to debug (maybe if you're new to it), it's ideal that you have more of it than actual app code per line. That implies you have subs

This seems overwhelmingly pessimistic. VMs, serverless, and Kubernetes all panned without a suggestion of an alternative. The theme is knocking on AWS, so is your suggestion to go back to colos and self-hosting? Does that really sound bette

It doesn't have to be equivalent. Just being comparable from a user experience and business case perspective would be enough. Getting it down to five minutes to fill to 80% may be sufficient. Right now it's 15-20 minutes.

This is the case I try to make to friends and relatives (non-EV owners) who insist that a common plug is a prerequisite to EV ownership. Standardizing against Tesla at any earlier point would have been a gift on a silver platter for legacy
