Crudely speaking, the fact that they work at AWS means that it’s in their best interests for AWS to be perceived positively.

When this is the case it’s often nice to state this conflict of interest, so others can take your appraisal in the appropriate context.

I’m not implying anything about the post, just stating what I assume to be the reason for the disclosure.

I always think of pence as 1/100 of a £, but pennies as multiple penny (1p) coins.

I’m not sure whether it’s just me.

I thought RedPanda was mostly C++?

Can confirm, I’m British and often use “cheers” to mean “thank you”.

It does say there’s a heroku edition “coming soon”

Not the OP but here in the UK there's a separate category of fridge-freezers called "American Fridge Freezers" which are typically the huge ones you describe. Everybody I know has a fridge-freezer, but not many of those are "American Fridge Freezers".

Shouldn't that be <insert_different_british_comedy_troupe>?

Are you in the UK? I too noticed how much emphasis there's been in the commentary in this tournament on players being "cute" with tactical fouls.

I think parent is using “shit-post” to describe a negative post.

Like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shitposting

I take your point, but I don’t feel it’s disingenuous to take the quote at face value.

Maybe the quote lost some context but talking about “...levels of voting...” being a negative thing seems like a pretty obvious admission of a desire to suppress votes.

Same race, different descent, different era, but this was also an eye popping descent

I assume you mean "it is not ready for public use yet"?

I just read I Have America Surrounded[1] a biography of Timothy Leary and found it fascinating. His descriptions of levels of consciousness are a bit wacky but I think helped me understand the appeal of psychedelics.

I assume Timothy Leary is a pretty divisive figure for some, I didn't know a lot about him before reading, so went in with a relatively open mind.

I think the responder misread your message and assumed you were adding a suffix like \+\w+ to the end of your email addresses like [email protected] -> [email protected]

Several email providers treat a + symbol as the end of the first part of the address and ignore everything between it and the @.

I think the responder’s point was that analytics providers just ignore things after a + too

This was the same for me. I think it’s because it was a line-level GitHub comment and the line has now changed. It is possible to expand the post if you click “Show Outdated” on the two collapsed posts underneath the comment saying:

Does London have a reputation for bad food?

The lead engineer/designer on the project makes this claim in these slides. I don't know whether this gives the claim more veracity in your eyes, but it's there.

I've never heard it described like that but you're right. Interesting counter point.

Anecodatal but: In London there are already multiple shops/restaurants/bars that no longer accept cash.

I assume you're referring to the media company 'oath'[1] not the auth framework 'oauth'[2]?

Is avoiding using "their services" sufficient or even possible/plausible? I may be being overly cynical here, but I think it's relevant.

"The homepages of popular sites placed cookies for 275 third-party hosts. In just visiting the homepage of popular sites, we found 32 websites placed 100 or more cookies, 7 websites placed 200 or more cookies, and 6 websites placed 300 or more cookies. We found that Google tracking infrastructure is on 92 of the top 100 most popular websites and on 923 of the top 1,000 websites. This means that Google's ability to track users on popular websites is unparalleled, and it approaches the level of surveillance that only an Internet Service Provider can achieve."

I assume the OP meant less environment damage from building roads, not that flying cars would be produce less CO2 than land cars.

You describe my experience almost exactly.

One difference here in the UK is that I'm unable to even pay for HBO.

I wanted to watch Generation Kill the other day, it seemed like it was available on amazon prime but in fact isn't available in my region. My only option is to buy it for £2.50 per episode, which seems like a bad deal to me.

For anybody wondering. These areas of London are all extremely wealthy.

It might be possible that the demographics populating these areas might be less 'grateful' for the services the NHS provides.

I read the parent post as highlighting the fact that the illegality of opiates/meth is not helping to protect people from them.

Perhaps the implication is that we need other solutions aside from making things illegal.

I find it slightly ironic that when I view that imgur image to see how much screen the economist takes away, ~30% of the window is obscured by a cookie warning and the content is dimmed.

Not a critique of the thecatspaw.

Dropbox paper has mentions and I wouldn't consider it social media. Same for trello.

I'm by no means an expert on any of this stuff, but:

> They only require one other replica (as opposed to a quorum) to be reachable from the master for the master to continue acknowledging writes (from your comment)

> Orchestrator considers a number of variables during this process and is built on top of Raft for consensus... (from the article)

Doesn't quite make sense to me. Doesn't raft require the master to wait for a quorum before committing writes? I understood it as a pretty important aspect.

> A candidate must contact a majority of the cluster in order to be elected, which means that every committed entry must be present in at least one of those servers (from the raft paper [1])

I understood that the bold is only true if commits are acknowledged by the quorum

Edit: I'm not implying your post is incorrect, just trying to understand how the two fit together

Agreed. The thing it took me a long time to realise about stuff like that is that you're not winning by breaking your neck to get something done for an unrealistic deadline, they are!

Is there any guarantee it won't destroy more of itself later? Does anybody know how the shredder in the frame was controlled?
