Just got a budget alert that I owe $286,486,223.88 on a hobby aws account, almost got a heart attack.

This is why you pay premium for trusted providers, who are verified to not quantize

and we ended up with new cars being 2x expensive even after adjusting with inflation somehow

they still save 3-5x

I think the problem with touch bar was that, it completely replaced the function keys, instead of complementing them. Other than that, I actually liked it.

and is it easier to implement id checks for each online account that people have, had, and will ever have in the future?

parents need to start parenting by taking responsibility on what their kids are doing, and government should start governing with regulations on ad tech, addictive social media platforms, instead of using easily hackable platforms for de anonymization, which in turn enable mass identity theft.

most of them try to argue serving ads and tracking is `legitimate interest`, which you have to disable manually

They had two dedicated legions garrisoned in Rome, who did not participate in Cannae, from what I read (not sure)

Hannibal was basically in a hostile land, without proper logistics support. There was no way that he can stay still and lay siege, only way he was able to survive so far was his ability to stay mobile and live off the land.

In case of siege, the Romans would not need to fight, they could simply wait until his army slowly died from attrition.

When you are riding the bike in the city, the light is not for you to see things, it is for others to see and notice you.

which version of httpx?

> For example, I was able to use a version with boto3 to answer questions about an AWS cluster that took multiple API calls.

isn't that very dangerous? The LLM may do anything, e.g. create resources, delete resources, change configuration etc

Good thing is it is illegal to have video footage of public land where I live. You can only monitor exactly the entrance or your private land.

Parquet files being immutable is not a bug, it is a feature. That is how you accomplish good compression and keep the columnar data organized.

Yes, it is not useful for continuous writes and updates, but it is not what it is designed for. Use a database (e.g. SQLite just like you suggested) if you want to ingest real time/streaming data.

If you play long enough, you always lose all of your money.

The financial transactions are also shared by the both sides, EU can also request data from US, as clearly stated in the document.

Both document clearly define the uses cases that are applicable for the data sharing, and the second document linked by you also explicitly states that US has to put same effort to provide same capabilities to EU as well.

Most likely that they are usibg the gravity assists to decrease the orbit (e.g. slow down) not to increase the speed. As your orbit gets more and more elliptical, your closest point to the celestial body gets closer and your actual speed relative to the celestial body increases dramatically.

It sounds contradictory, but think of that in this way: you have an incredible amount of energy stored in potential energy relative to sun and by decreasing your orbit you convert this to kinetic energy.

Think about falling into the sun from several billion kilometers, but just missing it slightly because you still have a bit of horizontal momentum left.

One would expect the electrocution risk would be enough to deter the human attackers.

> Adobe announced that it's acquiring Marketo, a company that sells marketing software, from Vista Equity Partners for $4.75 billion

> New Relic to be Acquired by Francisco Partners and TPG for $6.5 Billion

Sounds like he is good salesman, the numbers are quite good.

Well, EU prevents this kind of workaround by restricting stays to 90 days within 180 days period, so leaving EU for a couple of days after a stay of 90 days and coming back to stay another 90 days won't work, you will go over your quota.

Well, at least in Germany, the "profession" field is a free text field, there are no codes. The official is only interested in that whatever you are working as closely matches the original profession on your visa, so you can easily argue that your new title of "SRE Engineer" matches the original "Software Engineer", which they will accept as long as you are a working person in the IT Field.

USA should adopt the EU model: The visa is not tied to the employer but to profession. You are only allowed to do work in the professions that is described in the original visa/residence permit reasons for up to X years, which should avoid the "in the employers mercy" situation.

EDIT: this also relieves a lot of burden on the system, as you can easily change jobs between companies by simply mailing the job change documents to the foreigners office - they will just take a look at the new position that you have taken up and simply send back the confirmation that the residence permit is still valid, instead of trying to issue a new visa with all bureaucracy that comes with.

These are what I have my eyes on - a small battery to do 10-20km trips within the day (and easier parking as there are designated charging points for charging EVs in my city). Any personal recommendations for a a crossover type car?

I really want my next car to be an EV, but I am finding incredibly difficult to justify spending 35k on a car that has ~480 km range (effectively 400km as charging to 100% takes way too long).

I do understand the arguments about 90% of the driving is done within 200kms, but the obly reason for me to own a car is the long distance trips. Most of the Europeans are in the similar situation.

I remember someone posting something about their garage opening whenever they open safari, as Safari replays GET requests from open tabs when it is un-suspended, although can't find the post right now.

Basically, they had your setup exactly, but they leave the tab open in Safari and whenever they open Safari to browse the internet, the garage door opens.

Your example is not doing you any favors to be honest.

The customer base capture along with acquiring the best social graph available (people usually only message through cellphones to other people who they are truly connected, unlike the social media) was well worth 19B.

Most of the bots use headless linux VMs for WoW, which is why Blizzard stopped allowing WoW to run on linux.

but to what end? making 5$ more per car probably does not even cover the software engineering costs to develop the system.

To be fair, when you are meeting under a place that is protected by magic (Fidelius Charm?) to make sure that only people who know about the secret place can attend the meeting (and this information can only be shared by a single person, the secret keeper), it automatically validates that the people joining the meetings are authentic.

Most of the contracts should already mention “No illegal activities”, which should cover this, right?
