Agreed, I’m wondering where all these magical 1-hour efforts come from that decouple someone from a vendor. Let me just decouple from s3 real quick.

The article is from 2021.

And by that, who is not participating in the ad-buy market. It's nearly impossible to use the internet today without being forced into it.

I’ve interviewed candidates for DEI specific roles. Not sure how that aligns with your narrative.

What about tinder exactly is the problem? Asking as someone who has never used it but assume it’s Facebook for sex basically. Is it any worse than Metas properties?

What app actually needs background refresh? I suppose messaging (sms, iMessage) and email. Assuming you want those async fetched and not pulled on app open. Curious what you’ve found you left enabled or had to enable because I agree with overly restricting apps.

1Blocker has been great for me so far as well. Nearly a year and happy to pay for it.

Does this suggest permissions are a facade?

Unit tests cover the single functionality but ignore the system as a whole. Most regressions I've seen in industry are because of a lack of understanding how the system components interact with one another.

Therefore, I see unit tests as one pillar but also suspect that without good quality integration or end-to-end testing you won't be able to realize the riskier re-factors you describe. Perhaps you consider these part of your regression testing and if so, I agree.

Delta courtesy of T-Mobile has been solid in my experience. A few times not but in general it works really well.

Really? I doubt that. How large is a node on the plane?

The NSA/CIA need to start paying higher salaries to encourage more talent to go into the government sector. I remember in undergrad we had an NSA recruiter come talk to our computer science class. After the discussion, I was able to chat them up on the side and they mentioned salary being the hardest problem with recruiting top talent. Big tech pays too much and government not enough. Where would you go when you graduate?

> It's not a hard concept, but it's a concept that was only ever explained in school to a sliver of the population actually using email every day.

It's not hard to someone with exposure to a certain medium. Though its a bit dismissive like it would be for a mechanic to question why a person doesn't know know about rotors, spark plugs and other "simple" car concepts.

Which is funny because if Wikipedia dies, who will continue providing updated training data to these models? It's a weird self-fulfilling prophecy that consolidates without financial replacement.

Do you not sync to iCloud?

Society hasn’t setup future society to be better. It’s a grab and go everywhere you look and it’s tiring. This is coming from a millennial with a good tech job. I cannot imagine how younger generations feel.

Not everywhere has to have everything.

In my case I was using CBOR, not protobuf. The effect could be similar though when moving from json to protobuf. You get a much more efficient serialization and deserialization. This reduces CPU demand on server side for sending response payload and for client to receive the payload.

At scale, the performance gains can be dramatic. For example, moving a json web service to CBOR, I was able to squeeze 15% more throughput out of existing hardware. When you’re dealing with hundreds, if not millions of requests per minute this can be financially prudent.

Another checking in from the my company was and continues to be effected by GDPR.

Or 5g with a SIM card.

Which is ridiculous! The internet shouldn’t be able to give preference to some services over others. Bandwidth should be neutral.

Not sure why there would be any surprise. They aren’t in the pizza business. They are in the waste children’s time business.

How do they survive winter? Do they hibernate, go south or stay?

Agreed, some sort of activation required by phoning home. Makes me sad capitalism lead to this.

No problem, eventually tvs will come with SIM cards and cellular connectivity to phone home regardless of your choices.

With respect to trucks, it’s people who modify the trucks height and don’t readjust the lights. This should be enforced much more!

They don’t even have to be on the same network.

You have a shallow understanding of economics and the stock market. Sorry but your cynical view is not something that generalizes to stock buybacks. And the example of taking a loan out can be financially sound. Using debt when cheap to deploy capital can be beneficial.

You are blaming the place as the issue when the reality is your choice to get married and start a family is what holds you to a place. That would apply to lots of people regardless of where they live. Painting this is a con to moving abroad isn't really, to me, not obvious. I get married to someone with family ties in a geographically disparate place to me, I should not be surprised that we will have pulls to our family.

When was the choice to get married and have kids not an obvious choice with consequences. That happens when you get married and have kids in the city you grew up in all the same as it does if you find a partner abroad. It's not abroad that I read as your issue, its your marriage and family keeping you in a place. That's obvious.
