I'm a big fan of Jocko's podcast, there are great episodes that talk about Unit 731 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mizmXTWDf-4) and the Rape of Nanjing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uylTcj5yDOM) that are worth the time if you're interested in learning about the darker side of history.

The Rape of Nanjing episode is particularly interesting since he goes over the book "The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II" by Iris Chang in the first part, following that up with readings from "The Woman Who Could Not Forget" by, Dr. Ying Ying Chang which goes over how researching the Nanjing Massacre affected her daughter Iris deeply enough to the point of ending her own life.

Usually this is stuff that people avoid, but I feel that knowing what people are capable of doing gives some perspective in my life.

Where is that "Show HN" that will let me check if a site is affected by an S3 outtage?

Funny, I just tried making an alexa skill the other day so this is appropriate. How did you get around the restriction on the types of utterances you can do? It seems like with this type of app you would need to use AMAZON.Literal but they took that out for (security?) reasons. I saw that you effectively have placeholder text in your slot definitions, is alexa 'loose' enough with utterances to let you say almost any phrase?

I had quite a memorable experience where a Google recruiter accidentally CC'd their post interview survey email instead of BCC. After the initial "haha" moment we discovered that almost all of the ~2k people in the email list were African American. A private LinkedIn group was started after that, although I haven't followed up with it lately.

Also for that particular interview, I waited for an hour and a half in the lobby before a recruiter finally showed up. It turned out that my recruiter was let go the day before and my interview time fell between the cracks. Pretty much the worst experience I've ever had interviewing.

Where was this workaround mentioned?

Seems like people are having some success with it and there isn't data loss.

yeah, but having the option to run 'terraform plan' really helps you know what you're getting yourself into.
