this sounds like an absolutely wholesome story where multiple strangers donate their attention and time to help somebody who was not a victim in any way but just merely lost.
I wouldn't want my wife lost in Compton either but if the good guys outnumbered the bad guys by Inf% then it must not really be that bad. What would happen if it were Kinshasa instead of Compton.
It doesn't take very long (because compute and storage are separate in most of them) but good lord does it get expensive. Every time you click that upgrade button you are doubling your cost. It's really painful when you have a spiky workload that is performing fine like 95% of the time but you are watching the p99 and need to double the cost of a very expensive infra component, only to improve the experience of the heaviest 4% of your workload. This is to say nothing of the gambit you then have to play with reservations/prepays.
I haven't seen a way to get guarantees of upscaling operations under like 30 seconds (with Multi-AZ RDS) with well-supported RDS stuff (leaving out active-active setups with logical replication because that's a whole other can of worms).
If you know you're gonna be ok with that for a long time, go nuts. I'm just saying: think about it in advance!
The cost pain for spikes is also a thing - some of Aurora's billing models look potentially promising but I haven't used them in practice - though it's also somethings that's harder to avoid with alternatives. Distributed DBs aren't generally super friendly to dynamic scaling IME.
I was building an OpenTelemetry observability platform in a single executable file (in Golang) and was using ClickHouse as the database, and replaced it with an embedded DuckDB, so now it's truly a single executable file platform.
This looks solid! We are also going for a single-executable (typescript/bun in our case), but we are specifically going after agent monitoring in the first version. We think people shouldn't have to send all of their agent conversations to a vendor like DataDog or Sentry.
my kids are not teenagers yet, what am I missing? the iPad I let them use has child safety enabled and it seems to do exactly what the comment above you is suggesting.
> If only a minority is out, they will just be outcast.
My kids do not have a social media presence, we have parental controls set on their devices, and the router only lets them online for a small window of the day. They still manage to communicate with friends via email, shared Google docs, phone calls, and actually meeting up. (Remember when people would agree to meet at a particular time and place, and then just show up with no further discussion? It still works.)
No it doesn’t track. In his example, observing license plates is perfectly legal without a warrant. Looking in your phone is not. These are not at all alike.
Here's my rebuttal: I don't want police sitting down and writing every license plate down 24/7 on every street corner tracking my every movement. That's bad. And they don't do that now, so saying "it happens today" is false.
It isn't possible for them to do that without sensors and AI everywhere. That's why using this technology is a red line.
Of course? We already have private entities doing this today. Private toll road operators such as United Bridge Partners already administers camera systems that collect license plates for toll payments. I would assume parking lot operators also do this, and private citizens could create a nonprofit network too if they wanted.
Are you suggesting that people couldn’t do that for some reason?
The challenge here is to ensure that any controls that apply to law enforcement operating their own hardware for this purpose would also apply to them obtaining this information from a third party. We don't need the mayor setting up "Totally Not The Cops, LLC" that collects this data and "sells" it to his police department to bypass warrant requirements.
The most likely conclusion is that she was fired. To quit before your equity cliff things would have to be so terribly bad that you fear you are committing a crime to stay. After 11 months you feel like you’ve already earned that money.
All you had to do was put in an order with your broker (robinhood, E*Trade, etc). Some brokers did not get much allocation (Schwab) but this was not a hard stock to get at $135.
My understanding based on reading first hand accounts is that very few people who tried for a retail allocation got anything close to what they asked for. Total retail allocation was apparently around 20% of the IPO.
Hard to get a few shares so you can say you have some? Probably not.
>> Putting 2 servings of ice cream in a thick plastic jar was always a dumb gimmick.
One gimmick I quite detest is the use of highly concave bottoms some companies use, so as to reduce the volume of actual product. Similar to deep indentations orange juice bottles use as a "handle" but which actually exists to reduce the volume of juice.
