This is very close minded. It's best to avoid statements like that.

I feel like having a working python environment is not a great requirement to managing your python environment.

Not sure how you even tarif movies. I guess Netflix will receive bills based on viewership?

Anyway, as usual other countries will retaliate. American movies will become both more expensive to make and taxed abroad. Meanwhile, we can expect more people will turn to piracy to cope with rising inflation. I can't imagine any scenario where this isn't backfiring.

I really like duckdb's notebooks for exploration and this feature makes them even more awesome, but the fact that I can't share, export or commit them into a git repo feels extremely limiting. It's neat-ish that it dodfoods and store them in a duckdb database. It even seems to stores historical versions, but I can't really do anything with it..

I guess it could be fair, but those are unilateral. The official justifications such as considering sales tax, are bogus. The unofficial justification (or official depending on time of day..) is annexation. Surely, you see how this isn't perceived as fair from up North?

This paper seems to be neglecting to the effect of latency and packet loss. From my understanding, the biggest issue with TCP is the window sizing that gets cut every time a packet gets lost or arrives out of order, thus killing throughput. The latency makes that more likely to happen and makes the effect last longer.

This paper needs multiple latency simulations, some packet loss and latency jitter to have any value.

"AWS is the best provider for tech people".

This is an option, not a fact. Many of us don't agree. After working on all 3 I feel AWS is, by far, the worst experience for tech people. My perspective is that it's only doing great for execs and PowerPoint engineers.

It says or abbreviation which I imagine would cover engineer. It's well established here that you call yourself doctor or use the Dr abbreviation either if are not an active member of the college of medicine.

I am somewhat familiar with all these rules since a trained engineer with a PhD, but I am not a active member of the professional engineer association. I also used be a have the work title of "principal architect". In reality I can't legally call myself (or really let others) doctor, engineer or architect. I must admit it's a bit challenging when dealing with multinational.

To be a professional engineer, or just engineer really, you need to maintain your license, be in good standing with the regulatory bodyz have professional insurance, etc. The regulatory body can impose fine, mandatory training or disbar you for any ethical or technical deficiency. It's not a one time certification as you seem to believe.

Everything you mentioned is immoral. Two wrong doesn't make it right.

If you cheat, to compete you your lies I now have to lie. And it completely breaks the system.

Also, you don't deserve more leverage over other prospective candidate. This is cheating and fraud. It requires punishment.

I think this is unexpected. I expected that once created, my boot volume would have the same performance on the first boot than on the second. It's really not obvious that the volume is really empty and lazily loaded from S3. The proposed work around is also a bit silly: read all blocks one by one even tho maybe 1% of the block have something in them on a new VM. This is actually a revelation.
