100% agree. I also think there is both an attempt to ignore NIH (not invented here) solutions (look at what other countries do well WRT health case vs. the US) as well as to assume NIH solutions will be a simple copy/paste (see decrimi

Yeah imo we are talking less about shame in particular about cultural norms. A country like Japan is largely homogenous for good or for ill and their rate of immigration is low so newcomers assimilate. The US is much more heterogenous, espe

Nat gateways really only hurt if you have fairly high traffic iirc. AWS always dings you on egress traffic in general. In that case this may be preferable: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_

Not to cherry pick but here are a handful of "red state cities" to compare too. Most have worse violent crime and much better property crime which aligns with my experience where leaving a stick of gum in your car was an invitatio

Or hold down the option key while right clicking things or in certain dialog boxes. I guess that's not horrible if you internalize that fact but it's not discoverable.

I'd assume unless it was REALLY bad you'd get food but no money (due to no extra crops for sale) but a fair point. Some professions like sales are very much feast or famine but agree most employees are insulated to a degree from c

That's a bit different and (like ec2 and other services) governed by IAM:Passrole. Whoever creates the lambda or ec2 needs to be allowed to assign that role. Otherwise it would allow privilege escalation.
