How not to do blameless postmortem lmao. Non of the the engineers involved in this incident had anything to do with the company-wide layoff. I'm deeply sorry if the layoff affected you. But blame firing/piping more engineers for an incident should NOT be on the table. The negative sentiment towards meta engineers on this post is just wild.
Think of it as people going out to dinner. The US orders one plate of food per person, when China orders food. Each Chinese is only allowed to have half a plate.

Why? Because they are Chinese, and food ordering is not by headcount but by nationality.

Who in their right mind think this is reasonable?

We need to decrease emission, but it should be across board on a per capita basis.

But do you inspect all the source code?

Exactly. Not to mention high level business logic could be inferred from system architecture.

Sure sounds like a good way to perform recon on a target company.

Does smaller companies have mono repos that size?

Not sure what's done at Uber but I imagine HA is a requirement.

There are mitigations and a couple of hours of dev downtime is imo not the end of world. Sure, prod incident could overlap with a devpod incident but sounds like they still have the choice to do local dev.

Had no one noticed the racism in this person's comment?

HTTP does not solve the problem if you still want your traffic encrypted in transit.
Re:US bans WeChat, TikTok from app stores, threatens shutdowns on Friday September 18, 2020 @02:42PM (#24520419)
I mean if the Send money feature is what triggers it then isn't it already banned prior to this ban?

There are also many non-Chinese that use wechat.

Re:US bans WeChat, TikTok from app stores, threatens shutdowns on Friday September 18, 2020 @02:38PM (#24520367)
Because the majority of the people using Wechat and Tiktok are not CCP?

Resizing image is a pain, and inserting quick screenshots takes some hacking around.

It doesn't take a 5 year ML PHD and millions of simulation miles to download and install packages.

Running in a VM is good. Running in a VM as a non-priv user is better. Ideally you'd want multiple layers of defense in case of undiscovered gaps, human error and 0-days.
Thanks for following up @falcolas and fair point to both of you (falcolas and bsder). Unfortunate that it is indeed the case.
Reply to comment from Falcolas:

> Is it a racial comment when the leader of a country uses that exact quote to describe how they will deal with anyone who threatens the harmony of China, including the situations that the grandparent was referring to?

It is, when your message is an explicit commented on "I think that's the Chinese way of thing:[...]". Please understand that Xi does not speak for all Chinese (hence the protest and conflict) and having an idiom about crushing bones says next to nothing about how a culture or race is.

There are plenty of idioms in English about idiots. Does that say anything about English speakers? I highly doubt it.

--- Update Pardon my words. I said it too hastily and don't mean to accuse you. I am born in China and have lived 10 years there. I disagree with some of the actions of the current Chinese government but I am also frustrated with people commenting on things without spending enough time to self educate.

The link that you have attached seem to be mostly anti-government and (IMO) provides a very limited view on a very complex problem.

And IMO that's a good scenario where the State should intervene.
