I always thought they should only need to be safer than gas powered products, not a new standard. Let's directly compare the impact of battery incidents from EVs to the impact of widespread usage of internal combustion engines through

I'm curious why a test run on a proper sized replica database wasn't in the testing plans. That is something I've been ensuring happens for a while now for similar projects.

I think this document and incident is a decent example of common DR planning failure patterns. It is explained here that Atlassian runs regular DR planning meetings with the engineers spending time planing out potential scenarios, as well a

I used to feel a bunch of that same pointlessness, and I still do sometimes, but a novel helped me frame what I was feeling. Stoner (1965), by John Williams. It is not about drug use. It essentially covers the life of an assistant lit profe

I live in Toronto and can confirm. People will say Torontonians are mean and aren't as friendly as the rest of Ontario/Canada, but when it snows you'll be hard pressed to find any able-bodied person not helping out random stu

It's incredible that we designed a material for robustness that takes hundreds of years to break down, and it is the default material for designing single use everyday items, and then rely on all the efforts of an ineffective recycling

That's a false dichotomy. User replaceable batteries don't come at the cost of thin and sturdy phones. Laptop manufacturers have been saying that for years, and look at the Framework.

This read [1] is pretty interesting in regards to the increase in support for authoritarianism that you are seeing. It could just be yet another evolutionary quirk that doesn't work in the modern age. Perhaps all the development into a

Is DataDog actually a customer you have a relationship with, or are you just checking their public certs? Would be interesting as they have this feature offered as a synthetic, but it is a good idea not to monitor yourself with your own too

That requirement seems pretty bizarre to myself as a non-US person. Haven't heard of being natural born as a requirement for president before, but seems like another aspect that the US shares with a small list of other countries. It se

Spotify is pretty amazing as a company for how they managed to get 70% of their revenue to rights holders[1] I can't imagine this ratio could be easily surpassed by any physical music store chains, or any other tech company. At the end

Seeing 403 forbidden - not sure if too much HN traffic or they blocked access from outside the US Edit: requesting Desktop site from mobile works. I guess they redirect mobile devices to a 403 screen? That is an interesting design decision.

Yeah. We use them to facilitate testing in production, and controlled rollouts for anything we lack confidence in.

That isn't an argument against my statement. MAD is the very wishful thinking that you indicate does not work. Your initial scenario here of a berserk national leader is plenty applicable to MAD. Why do you assume MAD will work on a lo

Do you think every leader in every nuclear capable nation is going to have those same views forever? There's going to be a failure in the "our leaders are afraid of nuclear war" plan. That isn't viable. Just because it h

I don't think creating new IP correlates that much with profitability these days. Taking a look at box offices, TV, and gaming as well shows that existing IP is plenty profitable on its own.

Why is it stupid to not do any monetization? Josh built a fun game for his partner, and now a lot more people are enjoying it. As long as it isn't horrendous in hosting costs, I'd say that is already a huge return on the project.
