Pi4 2GB with power source, SD card, case, fan is like $100. You can have nice Atom MiniPC for that. Or old PC from ebay...

> what organisation in all seriousness gives a junior developer the access rights to drop a production database

It is pretty normal. Someone with university education, should know how to use a SQL client! I personally would fire such person as well. Carelessly copy&paste and execute code from some website is a huge redflag! Getting rid of such person on their trial period is very cheap....

Also many services are not mission critical. DB drop could mean short downtime, and restoration from backup (or Kafka stream), and with little loss revenue.

> Will surely be massive wastage though - probably up to 90%..... One legit criticism

Would you agree that huge wastage (up to 90%) is a reason for legit criticism?

It is just another excuse to print more money. What Biden is doing now, is just "lets print a few trillions and buy some solar panels in China!".

For mass reindustralization, you need reforms and technically skilled people. For example you will need way more oil and cheap energy. You also must stop shitting on imaginary "white men", and offer them free industrial-tech education. Army did that quite a lot, but that avenue is closed now.

> they spend 30 million over what they generate

That is my point. I do not understand how they total costs can be over 30M. It is mostly static content that begs for CDN cache. It is also not mission critical.

There is very simple monetization strategy: ads, cut bloat, move content moderation staff to India!

Tumblr has an army of content creator that work for free. It is a site that host text and images. How they even spend 30 million per year? Maybe on organizing "stuff convention", SF real estate and so on... Cut the bloat!

Can we say that women who ovulate, are more horny and more likely to orgasm?

I do not read studies, but this pops from google [1]

Potato diet is a baseline in fasting community. Before you do long water fast, you need to go on detox. Doing potato diet for couple of weeks is strongly recommended.

> The diet worked — people lost 10.6 lbs on average over only four weeks — and we had basically no idea why

I do fasting a lot. Doing diet for weight loss is a huge red flag. Human body gains and loses water very easily. Change of 10 lbs (in any direction) is rounding error, after changing a diet.

Major reason to do potato diet are health benefits. It decreases inflammation, and gives your gut chance to heal. It may improve sugar digestion, liver and so on. Basically any junk and toxins you eat normally, go away on potato only diet.

AFTER you become healthy, you may try to lose weight.

Stats give that to around 15%, it is not an outlier.

Side effect from hormonal pills is not some sort of conspiracy. Go to feminist forum and ask about it.

Contraceptive pill simulates pregnancy at hormonal levels. That includes partner selection and preferences. Imagine your partner is on a pill while you date, you get married and try for kids. She stops pill and there is a huge change in her chemistry .

It also stops ovulation. It plays a huge role in female sexuality, to the point some people have trouble to orgasm.

Not really. Dogs often topple over garbage bin, and spill content on streets. Some countries use garbage bags, dogs break those. Without dogs, there is a good chance garbage just stays in bins, and gets actually collected!

There was a backlash when Apple tried to put microchips and DRM into USB-C cables. I hate Apple, but I would fully support them on this.

USB-C cable problem is 10 years old. In 2013 Google introduced Pixel laptop, and some guy from Google bought all USBC cables on Amazon, only to test them and write reviews!

Idea for a dating app at college!

Problem at college is consent for intercourse. How do you record consent, so it does not get revoked a few days latter? Too many students were dragged through mud, and had their lives destroyed!

No direct evidence for Mens Sheds of Australia. I have a long list for in US and Europe. We can start with Erin Pizzey, and why she left UK!

Not really. Imagine some "branch" that got banned 10 years ago. By now it would have many edits and several sub-branches.

The whole concept of "ban" (like removal) is stupid. Wikipedia should be a tree of various interpretations. With single topic, I want to see texts from all sides.

Men only spaces is very inflammatory subject. Bomb threads, SWATing, and so on.. It also leads to uncomfortable questions about women only spaces.

I am not surprised Wikipedia avoids this section.

That is just not true.

Old men also face all those things. But they are not allowed to leave abusive relationship, for cost of alimony and child support. There is no charity for someone, who on paper owns house and makes 100k (but lives in his car).

"Giving up too early" is just an excuse for this systemic abuse!

Disparity in gender based spending.

If woman is in trouble, she gets hotline, accommodation and all sort of services for free. If men is in trouble, he can build furniture!

Women are not allowed there because they are violent and abusive!

Compare money that goes towards women's only shelters, organizations and charities. With money spend on those "sheds". Even dog shelters have better funding!

This is kind of insulting.

Australia does not have domestic violence shelters for men (first very small opened two years ago), but there are "sheds", where you are allowed to work while healing! Even dogs get more resources!

I gave up on carrying laptops.

I travel between three locations, just with my phone and NVMe disk. All three locations have identical setup: monitors, workstation, desk, chair... Computer for me is a just docking station for a harddrive.

I really hated dealing with USB dongles, power suspend and all that stuff.

If I have to work on the go, I have bluetooth keyboard for my phone.
