Basically every vancouver startup

makes sense why overwhelming amount of founders are white, far less black founders

Its puzzling how the world's richest country spends more than a country like South Korea on public transit and still stuck using Windows 98 and other ancient antics.

For instance the Seoul Metro yearly budget is 10x less than New York's yet it runs far longer and more efficient. It's also safer.

Seems especially rampant on FPS games. Often I see swastikas in custom banners in games like Battlefield. Reporting results in no change.

Many women for instance I know pretend to be men in these online games. Often the only people screaming and utilizing voice online seem to be of a specific demographic.

You can go after the bad apples and hope things will change but racism and all sorts of hate based ideologies are constantly touted by what I presume individuals with a lot of idle time.

I also see lots of talks of depression and mental health issues in the chats. I rather that they just remove the online chat feature and custom banners. Remove voice chat especially.

Really miss the days before voice chat because now its the equivalent of giving a village idiot a megaphone.

Perhaps people have been seeking a more generational leap but from the footage you are correct, they just iterated on top of what worked, and likely have thousands of hours of insight into what sells.

I was hoping that they would at least upgrade the graphic side of the things, it does seem like from this video, that it could easily be just another DLC.

Think after I saw that Matrix demo from Unreal Engine, that trend would carry on into city roaming sandbox games.

Still can't wait to pick up this game in 2 to 3 years when all the bugs are fixed and they have a discount.

Many founders seem like a doubtful choice of words. There are even more founders that have landed themselves in legal waters because they just assumed their employer would be understanding like them.

High risk of failure, high risk of litigation if we took your questionable anecdotes without any proof at face value and suggest to OP to do the same.

This is especially true for large companies with people who are hired to handle litigation and IP risk management.

> That's absurd. Are startups risky?

98% failure rate seems not only risky but reckless.

> "Fuck paying taxes, because who cares about the risk that the IRS will find me."

cheating the IRS has 100% failure rate unless you are in a position of power and wealth.

Not only is it necessary to know something is risky but to understand as so is key.

honestly if you have to ask this question and you can't think of actions to take by yourself, i question whether you are cut out for startup, its super risky and you seem risk adverse not only from asking the question.

i would recommend just keep looking at how to make sales. without customers you don't have a business.

horrible advice. there's no where on earth this will be accepted and defeats the OP's requirement of being employed WHILE validating an idea. 1. would get you sued

inflation means everybody takes home less pay year after year

if income is stagnant money loses value faster due to inflation.

inflation causes rapid drop in education quality

heatwave is also caused by global warming caused by co2 levels as energy use rises with inflation.

inflation then widens wealth parity gap and social media reminds individuals to take risks they cannot afford and so on....

inflation causes stock prices to rise and factory outputs, exports to rise leading to more energy consumption.

edit: i think i know why your brother is mad at you

Someone from rich part of vancouver die waiting in hospital bed because of shortage of workers.

another day on the news, someone suffered a stroke and because the ambulance didn't come on time she is partially paralyzed.

another couple had a miscarriage with the mother dying because surgical tools were not sanitized properly.

some desperate and sick of waiting travel to US or abroad (Korea, Japan).

family doctor, nurse shortage is half the problem. canadian medical school breadth of teaching is generalist and do not go deep enough.

there are now calls for privatization. i wish people would stop fetishizing canadian public health care, its better than nothing but behind the rest.

> Why can’t we be kind and considerate of each other?

inflation and social media.

before we had just inflation. now we have social media that magnifies it.

How can Canadian developers use this to gain access to US markets?

how is this possible without a dedicated gPU? thought stable diffusion would require far more horsepower

I wonder for those situations where you experience catastrophic failures at low altitude situations where you can't deploy the chutes, whether some type of short burst rockets situated around the plane could activate to "cushion" the plane and orientate it to safety.

Sort of like the short takeoff/land rockets used in large military planes.

Very interesting point but this chute is seriously making me consider taking flying lessons. Compared to motorcycle, plane is far safer. If an engine fails you can still glide to safety. Failing that deploy this chute.

One additional feature safety would be terrain recovery where if it detects you are unconscious, the plane would automatically pull out of the dive or avoid terrain obstacles (like side of a mountain) and place itself in a holding pattern. Taking a step further, the plane would identify nearest field without traffic or powerlines and deploy the chutes to land itself.

The last two layers are really nice to haves, its already incredible to have chutes readily available in private jets. Now its tough to argue that flying is inherently dangerous with these extra layers of last resort measures.

Having said that I do think cheaper alternatives to this Cirrus jet already exists, nothing wrong with propeller planes either. My goal would be to be able to do bush flying, landing on top of mountain fields, camping for a while and then flying back home.

I would recommend just using SAM or Chalice for MS on AWS and layering on Step Functions/Fargate/ECS Anywhere for hybrid setups if you are not using Kubernetes. The only difference is that you are coupled to AWS but if you are already have been using AWS for everything else, its very natural and easy to just learn a new product and integrate it to your existing infra setup on AWS.

CDK is also another interesting tool in that you can create classes that handles existing series of scaffolding and automation and it feels naturally code like but drift detection still requires improvement vs Terraform's.

If you work for a large company where they have mandated Kubernetes then obviously its gonna be difficult but I am seeing a trend where companies are starting to "hedge" their bets as K8 projects take far longer to get to market and requires more experts to keep it going so I'm half heartedly learning Kubernetes, especially on the back of my mind the existing AWS solutions offer far quicker time to market and accomplishes the same thing.

Curious as to what constitutes MS on lambda? Because whether you have a dozen lambda functions where each function translates to one function vs one function with multiple features, the outcome is exactly the same.

API Gateway also muddies the water, it no longer makes sense for each lambda function to maintain stuff like services endpoint like in Kubernetes.

In fact, if you take away containers, you can completely achieve orchestration without Kubernetes. Simply use Step Functions to coordinate lambda functions or even better, avoid it altogether and have one lambda function coordinate the orchestration procedurally.

My bet is that as time goes on and companies realize the overhead from kubernetes and "cloud independence mandate", they will drive more business towards AWS, in particular Fargate is rapidly progressing, as well as ECS Anywhere allows you to run hybrid setups with complete ease and without the headache from Kubernetes.

Just realizing these things as I learn kubernetes and I keep thinking "wait I can just X from AWS and this bypasses the need for kubernetes altgoether" but seems like companies are already knee deep.

exactly, yes you have to pay the piper but there are real contractual liability shift away from the operator by going with aws

you get 0.5~1+ second delay when you use containers in lambda, think its worse on Fargate unless somebody can update with real data here recently.

if you dont use containers in lambda, its super fast unless you start using C#/Java

yes what I mean was mixing stable diffusion into the UI styling without the fine atomic details. Like say I want a dashboard with color themes from cyberpunk complete with graphics/art/logo. It would be a "good enough" category if something can literally be told to produce a complete frontend.

You don't really need AWS for personal weekend type of projects or small startups but for large companies, they seem to be accelerating their dependence on AWS and its not a bad thing imho, it means a standard is emerging and companies are voting with their money.

kubernetes on the other hand....think will be replaced by fargate/ecs, I still struggle to know why startups with a dozen container services need kubernetes. Not having opinionated standard creates so much complexity with endless amount of configurations.

I want to like Google Cloud but so many horror stories I've read from people having their production environment shut down and locked out of their accounts because the over zealous fraud detection found an issue or non-chalant account managers.

Not sure why you would need 60 minutes for HTTP invoked functions, that alone should be a signal to offload it to another queue or asynchronous process.

The problem with Fargate is the cold startup time and lack of support for GPUs. It's also quite new and there's all sorts of issues with it but hopefully will get resolved.

I think ECS is a better fit if you require GPU or you can do with not scaling to zero. Obviously once Fargate catches up and polishes its kinks it would stand on its own but given the way Cognito is, I have very little faith that things will improve quickly (theres an open ticket in cognito that is over 3 years old).

a sigh of relief as I thought that this would generate instead of pictures, React UI code based on plain text description.

First they came for illustrators, then they came for UI designers.

true as elon musk says it won't be economically viable for quite some time but fusion is the right step, what I'd be interested is if they can miniaturized to fit on rocket payloads.

99% but petrodollar will still be in power. Access to fusion power will be strictly controlled.

The previous administration completely neutered its world class nuclear industry and built Chinese solar panels all over the mountain side causing landslides and environmental issues.

These are just some of the wonderful things the President Moon has accomplished.
