no such thing called constitutional protections in 2026 USA.

I moved to America in July 2011, first delta flight in August that year, and have pretty much not bought any other cookie since.

When I was young and shameless back then I would even ask for an extra one! My wife hates the cookie though, so probably in your boat

weirdly enough, that aligns exactly with my life.

Two years ago, I had no commute, and presentations were tedious ( i was NOT a good google slides user ), I kinda prefer this world for now

Curious, what AWS outage has affected you for days?

(I hope you'll agree that the middle east outage is a true outlier)

If it were just my company and not the whole industry for some newly discovered reason/vulnerability, I would quit because leadership has gone retarded.

Doesn't mean much for DeepMind if that's spent on Google Cloud, to rent out for Anthropic et al.

This shittake was probably valid 10y ago, I would have agreed with you back then

Where are you pulling this out of? A large number of k8s users don't need it, but the alternative you have sounds hyperbolic.

Do _you_ know what three easy replacements are? If no, how do you know those people are looking to pad their resumes, did you figure that out from your non-SF conversations?

Do we have data to substantiate that claim?

That's the response you have to the parent's anecdotes?

I hope that one day you are not sad and angry anymore.

Aren't free kicks an example of this? There must be a few in every soccer game, no?

But I don't know how many times the 14 player scenario happens per game in American Football, is it a lot more?

100%. The writing style put me off too, not sure exactly what about is weird though
definitely not easy by yourself, but the whole process (change, then alignment etc) shouldn't take a decent mechanic's shop more than a couple of hours. I've changed tires on my nearly 200k mile car several times now, and it's usually a few days for the tires to be delivered (in america the mechanic will just receive it) and a 2h appt to get the work done. I'm shocked your parent comment mentioned waiting a whole day at the mechanics'.

My friend does this at Costco, and it takes longer purely because of appt mismanagement and backup, the work itself is quick.

I suspect the shooting guns robots will be used against populations the owner considers sub-human, and reliability (accuracy in this context) is not a concern as long as it doesn't turn around 180degs.

Possibly Lorazepam[0]? Relatively common anti-anxiety drug (I have a couple of them in my pocket all times because it can help during seizures).

That interview was unfortunately timed (taped before nomination, broadcast afterward). My takeaway was that they are not trying "just not report the numbers" _yet_.

Nah, soccer is real boring, would take American Football anyday.

In the context of the article, instead of your parent comment, this sounds like a weak excuse. Is driving to the Huascarán mountains (and it's ilk) more dangerous than climbing it?
Re:Amazon shuts down Chime, its Zoom alternative on Thursday February 27, 2025 @04:39PM (#43198788)
I'm almost sure this is a pretty common Zoom feature, I have run into this at least once a month the last 6-7 years.

IMO, it's less a Zoom problem, and more a setting on the host's side problem. Same category as "guest cannot move a meeting invite unless explicitly allowed to" on google calendar.

We took TK 79 on Oct 5 2024.

Also, my search brought up this final response from Turkish, which infuriated me enough that I wanted to share:

"Thank you for your feedback.

At Turkish Airlines, we strive to provide all our passengers with the best flying experience possible and to make them feel valued at every stage of their journey. As giving our passengers who choose us on their travels the service they deserve and delivering this excellently are among our priority targets, we again have experienced how important your feedback is.

Through your feedback, we’re able to improve the services we provide. We’d like to thank you again for your support.

We kindly submit for your information and wish to host you better in your future travels.

"

We took a Turkish Airlines flight in September (IST-SFO), and the seats were teeming with bedbugs (as in, multiple passengers were able to visually point them out when we were still boarding).

Some passengers were able to switch to other seats, while multiple others broke out in hives (including my wife). The cabin staff were polite and understanding, but once we landed, escalating to Turkish airlines was pretty useless. We've filed a case with the DOT which got the airline to respond.

Glad the media is covering this, we heard from multiple folks that this has been a problem.

Yup, creative writing.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but the last 2 companies I worked at (~7 years) both had very clear traffic spikes 9a-5p US east coast hours on weekdays. My current place actually sees more than 20-30% drop sunday nights compared to monday morning, and it's constantly going up because we have a lot of American enterprise customers.

Maybe I misunderstood your question but is there a case where you can keep your entire capacity running for free? I'd assume you pay AWS/other cloud or your electricity provider.
