Let’s reflect on Amazon’s 99.999999999% (literally their number) durability on S3.

The 4G and internet also need actual interventions. If we must work remotely, internet companies may also have to.
What about DNS tampering? In many countries there are different rules for taking down a website. My ISP applies different rules than 8.8.8.8, which is handy when required by law in France but not in USA.
Effectively, government-mandated tampering will be applied with much less granularity because of centralization (or bi-centralization).
When I was a baby I asked my dad to draw power outlets, we had Legos, we’ve visited dozens of factories, I did a dozen programming languages before 18, I’ve always gathered data about things (Ok a nuclear plant is 1GW, a plane has 20t of fuel, etc), and I’m an average engineer.
Meanwhile my bigger sister has technical but never much about making things work, we went to the same engineering school but she ended up project manager because she can’t do the engineering job. So she manages people.
I’m amused that the kids who did worse are absolutely necessary for the kids who do better. They end up getting wasted by the process, demotivated, but they are a necessary brick to step upon.
It’s the same consideration when talking about male suicide. Are they necessary for others to feel good? We could solve a good part of it as a society, but at the expense of providing an environment where males fail less, have a better social net, receive more love, and are less pushed to succeed in their career to be recognized. So we could solve it, but it may cost our economic growth. Is that why male suicide isn’t getting solved? It’s getting less funding than even dog shelters, and less attention than much smaller problems.
Model: The Javabean
View: The HTML
Controller: Whatever Java code that calls the service layers,
Service: The services in the lower layer,
JS: Since you have js with your HTML, then the JS also acts kind of like a controller for complex parts of the UI,
REST: Well that’s a second entry point to your service layer, to which the JS transmits Events (as in MOVE) that cannot be managed by a page reload. It’s a back channel unknown to the Controller.
So perhaps React has a point ;)
We should rather treat it as a brand new society with new balances, like after Gutemberg’s invention of the printer, which enabled communication and gave birth to Martin Luther, the accession of Bible translation to masses, the accession of The Encyclopedia, and more generally, the Humanists.
And maybe, just maybe, we should have taken better care of so many people we’ve put in such horrible situations that content binging becomes better than their life. Rather than assuming they were just crybabies.
For example other countries may use of laws (EU Arricle 13, for instance) to bend social media [1], and Facebook has accepted to have Marlène Schiappa’s (our Minister of Equality) agents in-house. Law is the embodiment of the current political power balance, not a fixed referential to stake culprits upon. And for the moment, social media are the power in the balance, so it’s hard to use the law against them.
As a French, I’ve lived a few years in Australia. A lot of people there can only say “Bonjour” and keep a bitter memory of their lessons. It feels like learning German for the French people, also a difficult (albeit more regular) language. It is merely necessary for political cohesion but not at an individual level; As such German lessons are... not designed for the students. If I had to believe the lessons, there are only two topics that Germans talk about: The Wiedervereinigung (reunification) and the war. All their movies are black and white with yellow subtitles. That’s how I imagine the French language in the Australian culture ;) Something you gotta learn at school, like se hazing or something.
It really feels like we haven’t mastered teaching, as a civilization. Our teaching works for pupils who have an interest; but for the others, it’s like signing for a mortgage and hating the house from the day you move in.
In fact, a lot of Ozzies I’ve met told me they went to Paris and felt hated by parisians. This testimonial was so frequent (dozens of times) that I led my little survey. On Twitter and among friends, all French people love Australians, between surfing and Crocodile Dundee, we have good conversation starters ;) Some may dislike some British but I don’t think there are many, let alone many who would act it out on the street. I just think parisians behave like stressed people behave in very stressful cities. So, no, we don’t hate English-speaking people, and I’m sorry that my language is so hard and so required in your curriculum ;)
Good day everyone!
Central login where you can never understand what login you are using and what information they are collecting, nor on which website you are not whether you’ve suddenly integrated Confluence into a Bitbucket instance, is a real downside. God I hate SSO’ed companies, they went all the way of Google into Youtube.
Look, if you had heartbreaks that means you were in the girls game and you were 10 miles above the people we’re talking about here. You don’t seem to feel what it is to be excluded from the group, it’s an entirely different feeling from being rejected by a few girls and having enough support and love from your family around that it’s not a problem. I’d say 60% of the class don’t belong to the core group, and 20% are extremely solitary. Extremely solitary people also have double problems because they are not supported at home. And surprisingly, lack of love at home creates both the bullies and the victims.
Those people really need help. I know I did. It’s not a condescending tone, I’m just saying that some people are invisible and we need to learn to « see ». I’m 37 and I still have murderous thoughts. I have literally enlightened the lives of a few hundreds people around me by talking about men’s issues and describing them so people can articulate them and eventually get people who support them, and I keep fan mail on a wall at home because they help me see I’m useful to this world. But I never myself received the help I needed.
People need to learn to see. Sometimes you can’t believe how someone sitting next to you can be alone.
Coming back to Facebook, I can’t quit Fb or Youtube because they are my only friends. I have some, but they have girlfriends and kids. I just wanted to highlight that addiction usually come because there is a void, and getting rid of the addiction is not so simple. Same for those addicted to alcohol: Stopping alcohol is actually the easy part; Finding friend who don’t revolve around consumption is the harder step. I insist, I’m a functioning adult, actually founder with 2 employees, but I really don’t spin round.
It typically would be a usecase for the Macbook touch bar, does anyone has one and can tell us whether it has an integration with web videoplayers?
This is the designer’s nightmare: Every feature needs to be available to everyone, therefore be visible on the screen. Yet they only cite rare usecases: « Watching sports event while continuing to browse the web ». In the meantime, the blue tone isn’t generally consistent with the websites’ colors.
I would have supposed moderatelt-used features belongs in the right-click menu like the rest, or they need to find a way to merge it with the video controls (I guess an Apple designer would imagine a new kind of special press to detach the video, which is fine too).
They don’t talk about words inherited from SMS mistakes, but I would add « aps » (for « pas », as in « je sais aps » = « I don’t kown »).

I find this vert true. The particularity of HN is that they did not gather by beef but by learning about the startup scene and skills.
