Not by itself. But if we don't talk about it, how could there possibly be hop of fixing anything?

The incentives were tied to the job creation. So if they bring fewer jobs to the area, they get less money from the government, automatically. It was part of the contract

This is an overly cynical view in my opinion. Firstly, payments is certainly not the first thing we made frictionless using technology. Reducing friction for things is not at all a new trend. Heck, just take a closer look at the device being used for Apple Pay: a Cell Phone! A technology that made it easier to talk to anybody, anywhere!

Secondly, automating payments is just an easier accomplishment than automating access to healthcare. With healthcare, you need to find the right provider, and do a bunch of other non-trivial things. Payments boils down to moving numbers from one ledger to another which is much easier. So of course society accomplished that before automating access to healthcare. It does not at all mean that society doesn't value healthcare

Yeah, I think he’s close to a good point of advice there, but misses it. Instead, it is better to bring up unpleasant surprises when they become a possibility (call it a “risk” if you want to sound all businessy). If you do that, then people will be less surprised when you tell them that it has happened

Or, they could increase the price of natural gas (perhaps using a tax)

The only good form of defense, is defense in depth, or forming layers of defense. This bug puts a hole in one of those layers

Most locks don’t actually pump water around. The water level on one side is higher than the other, and thus there is potential energy there. That is how the locks operate

What’s the point of using another tool to manage your shell scripts though? Why not just use shell scripts

But the main function of any stove is to heat things up. Induction can simply do that faster. Boiling water is just an easy way to measure it

Hostile takeovers aren't usually that fast, but yes apple can probably afford to buy the company, one way or another

I think the easiest thing to do is to love to 64 but timestamps, not changing the epoch

> Unless the housing supply increases this will just be a temporary thing

I'll go a half-step further and say that unless this is a result of broad actions that have made home-building less costly, it will be temporary. Whenever house prices go down, home-builders become less incentivized to build new homes, and so less homes get built, and prices go up again. This will happen unless the price drop was a result of houses becoming easier to build

Does anyone have a link to the commit that fixed the bug? I'm curious how simple it was to fix

Edit: nvm, I found the link in the linked page: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/8ae372dc88d1

Presumably these companies would like to follow up with finding out __why__ work is not getting done. Not that I agree, but these companies seem to think that coming to the office increases productivity.

It’s funny you say that. I work at AWS. The URls for tickets just rolled over to have a new digit this week

Most of the answers seem to contain bullshit. The one you quoted is wrong because the leading 0 is for octal notation, not hex

They also make the innards for almost all microwave ovens: https://youtu.be/YSrVG74Emyk

> I've done some AWS training, especially the introductory ones are intended to get you to use as many different services as possible

That sounds like an obvious good thing right? The training isn't supposed to teach you how to solve problems, its supposed to teach you how to use a particular set of tools.

They unfortunately have to balance this with keeping their members employed, and their members salaries high

No what?

I think the data plane is regional

Some of the smaller updates will be a nice QOL bump for me:

> For easier and more secure password and passkeys sharing, users can share passwords with a group of trusted contacts. Everyone in the group can add and edit passwords to keep them up to date. Since sharing is through iCloud Keychain, it’s end-to-end encrypted.

>Maps adds offline maps, so users can download a specific area and access turn-by-turn navigation, see their estimated time of arrival, find places in Maps, and more while offline. Maps also makes it easier than ever to discover thousands of trails in parks across the United States, and supports electric vehicle drivers with real-time charging availability information.

>AirTag can be shared with up to five other people, allowing friends and family to keep track of an item in Find My. Everyone in a group will be able to see an item’s location, play a sound, and use Precision Finding to help pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when nearby. This also works with all other Find My network accessories.

But you also gain access to more employers

Quitting simply has much higher frictional costs as an employee than as an employer. As a result employers will always have more leverage, including your next employer.

Same reason we have North/South/East/West, basically

Seems like a convenience tax to me. People who are willing to pay the high prices at the airport, are probably less price sensitive, (read: more wealthy). So yeah, let’s let the rich subsidize the poor

I think it can? whenever I can't connect to my company's git server I get a `failed to connect to git.company.com` message. or something like that

But if the recycled steel is cheaper, who would spend a bunch of money to take an expensive input, and create a cheap output? It doesn’t economically make sense

This seems overly cynical. It makes a lot of sense to wait until teams have completed their planning. It allows the executives to sift through the proposed projects and decide specifically which ones to cut.

Also, it is pretty easy to confirm with anybody who works at AWS that OP2 planning process did in fact complete recently

Interest rates have increased. Thus, the full cost of a project that takes some time to complete before generating revenue has increased. Thus, some projects are no longer a profitable endeaver
