Why do you assume they had your sense of ethics? 10 was often considered the age of adulthood. Little men had no specific exception from work or war, or expectation of education outside specific classes. Being a regular troop was more often from 16, but plenty fought from 10 up or had other roles in battle.

If their prices aren't changing then we have a market problem that extends beyond AWS.

How do you get there? Even in markets without any specific lock in, the top brands charge prices that have nothing to do with raw costs.

No, Moore's law is fine. If the CPU takes half the real estate and uses half the power but costs the same it is the same perversion of the market expectations of Moore's law as if you don't deliver twice as much in the same price.

From Wikipedia:

Some forecasters, including Gordon Moore,[122] predict that Moore's law will end by around 2025.[123][120][124] Although Moore's Law will reach a physical limit, some forecasters are optimistic about the continuation of technological progress in a variety of other areas, including new chip architectures, quantum computing, and AI and machine learning.[125][126] Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared Moore's law dead in 2022;[2] several days later, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger countered with the opposite claim.[3]

Price is supposed to cut in half every 3-4 years, if it isn't it is largely because cloud vendors can't bear to take less and hope there really is that much more volume of half as valuable computing to do.

The things they sell as an average CPU performance, etc are basically the average when their cloud began.

The car EVs try to be in a price class above a Toyota subcompact so I think they can't really compete for the taxi volume, etc, before any logistics.

EVs would be fine with a few hours of outage here and there, but the light EVs are going to be easier to move to battery swapping if needed and are price competitive with vehicles in classes that already sell well in the Philippines.

I've known people to go back on vacations who probably shouldn't, but an outsider, weakly under the protection of a foreign country, who doesn't seem like they are going to get back into their old life is usually not a political priority.

I think suspicion of bug bounties even from organizations who would clearly benefit the nost from doing them right are well founded and you are over simplifying the situation.

Every organization includes a mess of situations where the overall best interest of the organization no longer comes through. Groups and individuals don't want to admit mistakes both personal and in wider senses and have alliances, competitions, team and organizational loyalty that twists their behavior.

A lot of organizations know they would benefit from having a proper whistle blower program and then proceed to crucify the first person who uses it.

This is true and contributes to poor health, but I don't think it is the primary factor for weight. It is very hard to excersize yourself out of a high calorie diet.

It's really pretty shocking how much added sugar there is in anything with more than 1 ingredient, and getting more sweetness in is basically a race with every other element of someone's diet. The 1980s had it junk food, but there was still other food.

Cabbage also doesn't work, but what does that have to do with a theory that:

Metformin exerts a substantial neuroprotective effect, preserving brain structure and enhancing cognitive ability.

We obviously want additions or replacements to physical and mental exercise depending on how much we get.

Powershell introducing the English language to a shell at a time when everyone else was doing i18n is about 3 leaps beyond an annoying thing in the traditional Microsoft form of the time.

You can do what ever you want for innovation but if you choose mindf*ck as your UI..

Firing people at will includes firing them because you got the feeling they may be behaving in any way in any situation perhaps in conflict to any request you made. Odds are someone won't get fired for stealing office supplies and in at will place they may be more often fired for misunderstandings related to a misperception where they don't come clean on something they never did.

That there was no way to sue the company in that example is a demonstration that the employee lacked any right to break any taboo.

As such there are teeth anywhere that is at will for any request whether it is reasonable or not and whether it relates to a taboo the employee may be expected to have or not.

Obviously emergency vehicles are needed and similar access for commercial and handicap vehicles makes sense.

Popular cities don't really need to compete to fill a bunch of commercial real estate. They have people who commute every day by public transport and residents who are competing for real estate with this property.

It's enough now with the cars, there are mall towns and cities happily lose 'business' to them because it is not worth wasting 30% of all land to attract a bunch of people who may never actually get out of their car in your city and then at most to a business that probably pays less in property tax than a correspondingly sized residence.

These businesses can't vote and if they aren't in town to complain the noise from them stops. There were also a lot of angry horse cart drivers once.

Right, commit messages are at least always right for the context that comes with them. I think long descriptive names are an anti pattern. As per word puzzles you can't actually read the middle of a blob of text so you are basically left with a dozen variables that are cognitively the same as isDatabaseHidingDragonsSetter().

The implementation of standards for roads greatly improved over the decades and areas that haven't been touched by a modern project tend to not be high density. I.e. a blinking walking sign?

I don't really understand why first cities allow private vehicles in general. Either you have commercial plates or you are basically a nuisance to residents and your convenience lowers the value of voter's residency.

I don't think main street has an argument any more for why we should risk getting run over for out of town shoppers and office space can largely be rezoned.

I don't particularly like the experience of walking in a city with bikers, but at least they are engaging in as much risk as they put others through and accidents with them are likely to be short term inconvenience instead of permanent injuries and death.
