How often does the FCC allow blocking traffic?

I think this is a stretch. The conversation you mentioned isn’t hard, and changes drastically once you get into cross border payments.

I think this is a solution looking for a problem.

It raises the cost for any spammer, including determined actors. More code, more complexity, plus the cost to actually rent the numbers.

A lot of tech bros need to touch grass and realize that the rest of the world doesn’t mind giving their phone number to a chat app.

A great example of how NOT to write Java. You say absolutely nothing with a whole lot of extra words.

For example: //============================================================== // Ajqvue Constructor //==============================================================

   public Ajqvue()

The constructor definition is already clear, I don’t need a big header telling me what a constructor is.

Instead, use comments generously where needed - for example, if you have a piece of business logic, a comment explaining the intent behind it can help the maintainer (likely you) a year down the road. What I mean by this, is that what your code DOES should be self evident - but documenting the business decision behind the implementation has done wonders for me.

We came to the exact same conclusion. EventBridge time triggers a Fargate task. The job automatically terminates the process after execution, so the container shuts down and all is good.

MS is probably pricing this into their model — GitHub was acquired for 7.5b. If they get fined a couple b over this, it’ll probably have been worth it for the customer acquisition onto Azure.

We need much much more military spending, not less. We’re currently only spending about 3.5% of our GDP. It should be at least 10%. The threats to the free world have never been greater - we must ensure peace through strength.

Prevent shattering into multiple pieces. Remembering now, you had to hit the window in all corners. It was something complicated like that. Then you get the glass on the suction cup and place it down gently.

I didn’t like this idea, not just because it was complex, but also because it added a bunch of different gear I would have to carry.

Unfortunately I don’t know much about the Dutch perspective on this. As an American, this is the kind of thing that gets America to go to war - why didn’t the Netherlands decide to intervene after MH17?

There wasn’t much support in the very beginning - sure, some javelins and NLAWs. Whether they were the difference maker is unclear.

I see a lot of American “free thinkers” (who all think the same) push the argument that it was US provocations that lead to the war.

While there are many many many (many…) counters to that, I will let the russians themselves offer their counter. Check out Putin’s essays on Ukraine - he (and the majority of russians) hold a deep belief that Ukraine is just part of russia, and that it should be returned to russia.

As far as picking friends - who is giving military aid to help repel an aggressor, and who is killing, raping, torturing civilians?

I fought mostly with the TDF and SSO - all of us were volunteers or professional military. I personally haven’t met anyone who said they were forced to fight. Except for Russian POWs who claimed they were forced.

Yes, this works.

Actually while planning one SSE operation, we heavily debated the best way to break glass windows. One guy on the team wanted to tape around the edges, attach a suction cup to the center, and break the window with a spark plug. While that would work, and be the quieter option, I decided it would be too slow and too complicated. I was expecting to break a lot of windows, and we only had 2 hours for SSE. So in the end, I decided to just smash the window with a crowbar, and run the crowbar violently along the edges to clear out any big broken glass still not detached from the window frame. Then make entry.

Mate, it’s democracy vs dictatorship. Russia didn’t invade the US, it invaded Ukraine. We would keep fighting even without US support. Freedom is non-negotiable.

No. It was warm, so we had the windows open though.

Street 14, Kharkiv. I remember battles in that area. I remember when some of the houses there got hit. One night specifically, I was on a base a ways away, and I heard one of the loudest explosions I’d heard during the war. The curtains in our room even lifted, halfway to the ceiling.

Russia and Belarus are both members of the Axis of Evil too, so yes??

Who is proposing to destroy the first amendment? The proposal is to ban a piece of Chinese state sponsored spyware.

Dictatorships aren’t self determination.

Okay, hope their interests aren’t in doing business in the US if they want to circumvent US sanctions.

We absolutely have the right to draw moral lines in the sand: if you do business with brutal dictatorships, you are the enemy too.

I’m not an expert on the topic, I don’t understand the question.

What valid reasons are there for emissions in a world with nuclear reactors and electric vehicles?

I don’t particularly care if humans are a cause of climate change or any of the other debated topics in the sphere of climate science. I want a clean planet for my kids/grandkids/their grandkids, so I want legislative and foreign policies that support that. Some things are a lot more important than economic growth.

On-call schedule. Everyone goes on rotation, gets different days. If you miss your day, well, you knew in advance you would be on call that day.

I don’t understand your question

Yeah because total comp starting 125k total comp for lowest positions at my company, fully remote, can’t handle an outage. It’s part of the job description of a software engineer - if you don’t like that, don’t take a W2 job and just work as a contractor?

When working hospital shifts, I routinely took naps whenever possible. I personally wouldn’t hire an engineer with your sense of entitlement, because you would be very difficult to manage and probably wouldn’t produce the same results as your other team-player colleagues.

CEO currently working minimum 60 hour weeks.

I agree. Full time employment comes with it the expectation of a higher level of job security (contractors are fired or laid off first), along with benefits (PTO, healthcare, stock options, etc).

Let’s say 100k base salary. 5% additional comp (bonuses or stock, this is conservative number). Healthcare for you, another $300/month, not even counting employers who cover dependents. Ignoring all taxes including FICA. PTO 3 weeks (120 hours).

Base salary is 48/hour, but your total comp will bring it to more like 58/hour. Which is probably more than your contractor counterparts.

You trade a little bit more of your time (responding to outages or crunching for a product launch deadline) for the security and benefits.

If one of my employees refused to respond to an outage because it’s outside 9-5 working hours, I would fire them for cause (pending approval from legal of course).

Yes, absolutely I would.

I don’t really go to clubs anymore, and I don’t enjoy my flashy stuff anymore either.

Otherwise I stand by those comments. They were made to a guy running a sex tourism business.

I would never hire the CTO of FTX to work at my company either, because he was complicit in a major fraud.

Please don’t argue in bad faith.

I don’t believe you. Will you post a time stamped picture of the front of your passport?
