Im pretty sure the majority of users here also look at porn, but it wouldn't be appropriate for this site.

But to answer your question, by "war on drugs" they mean the heavy handed nature of police enforcement of drug related laws. Petty drug crimes become life ruining felonies and leave poor families struggling even more than they already were.
There is some very legitimate police activity stopping major drug dealers though, and there are many criminals whom can't be convicted of the crime they committed because of lack of evidence, but can be nailed to the wall for possession of drugs. Overall, the landscape of how to treat drug offenders becomes very muddled.
Yes, there are still drug problems - but not to the common extent you saw in the 80's.
I think the issue is that people hear the word "war" and think that only the cops and military are the sole soldiers. There is only so much they can be expected to capture without some massive invasion of citizen rights.
The truth is that more must be done by the communities themselves. Whether you call it a "war", or by any other name, you will need more than just cops and TLA's to solve the problem.
And yes, we should spend more on education as part of all of these efforts. The concerned citizens of this country have been asking for that balance to change for a large number of reasons. Unfortunately the status quo remains.
I loved turntable.fm while at work, so much chill music was on there. Talk about being "too soon" and ahead of their time. I hope they do well.
You don't have to hate Trump to admit that he lacks complex strategy and communication skills, as well as a very week, if not incompetent, cabinet.
Politically speaking, being in a "justified war" would have done nothing but hurt the democrats chances. It's hard to unseat a president at 4 years already, but with an ongoing war it's even harder.
The startup itself is actually trying to do a good thing it seems, and while handing out those login credentials isn't ideal, don't forget that Mint & Plaid straight up ask for your banking login and no one bats an eye.
IMHO, the real regulation that is needed is that anyone whom stores data on an individual should also make that data read accessible via an api with separate credentials. Could you imagine a world where you could easily decide how your own data is used?
Also, all of those companies believed enough in their idea to raise funding and pay developers. You want someone else to build your thing for free, which I don't think is too inspirational. Maybe if you had a pitch deck and some designs that could illustrate your points I might believe you, otherwise it's just dev begging.
BYOS (bring your own storage) is long overdue. The amount of waste (time,money, and electricity) in running app servers which primary purpose is just to gate access because all users data is stored in a single database. With BYOS, all of the logic can be moved into the front end (SPA), will scale nearly infinitely, and greatly improves security.
$50 pricing until it's spent...I also love this because I hate monthly fees, you nailed it on the head. It's not quite as cheap as my legacy google storage ($2/TB), but that storage isn't available via an API.
Any plans for a javascript library?
The article seems to explain why there is a caching issue, and that's understandable, but it also reads as if you wanted to fix it. I would think the headliner and bold font if it was actually fixed.
For those curious, the problem is that S3 is "eventually consistent", which is normally not a problem. But consider a scenario where you store a config file on S3, update that config file, and redeploy your app. The way things are today you can (and yes, sometimes do) get a cached version. So now there would be uncertainty of what was actually released. Even worse, some of your redeployed apps could get the new config and others the old config.
Personally, I would be happy if there was simply an extra fee for cache-busting the S3 objects on demand. That would prevent folks from abusing it but also give the option when needed.
Also, other restaurants service dairy - also with a much less than 15% failure rate.
There are simple solutions for everything you just said. Taylor makes garbage equipment and is ripping off franchise owners. McDonalds corporate likely owns stock in the company and uses it as a side hustle of revenue from franchise owners.
I think it changed now that Prop-H passed, but he was already broke and tired by then.
The tl;dr is that he paid $7,500 * 24 months ($180,000) in rent before deciding to give up. 1 year of that was held up by competitors directly nearby filing to block his permits, so he had to wait for court case. The other year was in architecture planning and permits (which included health permits since it was food related). And he then estimated an additional $120k (plus ongoing rent) to actually build, so he gave up.
Prop-H apparently did away with the anti-competitive allowance of nearby businesses to object and it forces the city to respond to permit request in 30 days. But unfortunately, he has already enriched a landlord for two years in the process.
also, security practices are supposedly better and more robust there than at your average place.
i think those two things are the value adds.
Other than that, it's really annoying way to keep infrastructure. I prefer the Terraform DSL myself, but I'm certain there is an audience that disagrees with me.
