How could you possibly know how you really looked like walking in those said places? You haven’t seen yourself walking there. Also, you haven’t seen all of the possible angles that this cinematic camera would capture and replay.

This is an interesting concept about memories, part of them is just made up by our brains.

Edit: So the next time you have an argument about a thing that happened or how it happened, ask yourself, do you really remember or is your brain filling the gaps?

Ignoring the fact, that 15/1100 shares are ~1.36% so in your case they had to add roughly a 100x the current shares, not 10x like in your example. This already reads like the company was not doing well at that point.

Side note: If it wasn't a down round, measured from your entry event, your shares gross value still went up.

In general: If the company needs 100k in cash, and all shareholders add cash relative to their share in the company, there is no dilution, cash is added, all is good. If some or all of the current shareholders can't add cash relative to their shares, you need an external investor, that investor has to "get shares from somewhere". If the investor would buy them from the current shareholders directly, there would be no new money in the company, the money would go to the shareholders, that is not what we want here. So new shares are created and only shareholders that do not do a pro rata investment dilute their shares relative to their current share, and maybe a partial pro rata investment, to make up for these new shares, which is fair. Without a down round, valued individually for each entry event of the current shareholders, nobody loses any money here.

I do not understand why you are upset. Am I missing smth?

If not done correctly, that is the default result with Cloudfront + S3. You set the index and error page to your index.html. That way you get SPA routing but a 404 for all non root routes. The author needs to add a Lambda to rewrite the HTTP response depending on the route, some 404s should be rewritten to be 200s.

It would be a nice feature if StackOverflow would blank out (####) patterns that potentially match passwords or at least offer this if their system detects a potential password in your post.

999 Request Denied 3 years ago

AFAIK this is a reference to a movie and the scene in question is Hitler shouting "nein" multiple times.

I highly doubt this is the origin. I think its just the last three digit number.

999 Request Denied 3 years ago

When sending an HTTP GET or HEAD request to LinkedIn for a specific profile [...]

It will also be returned if there are too many HTTP requests in a single day. This is similar to the HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error message.

Similar? That is excatly what 429 was made for, or not? This is weird or just lazy.

I was wondering as well. I am pretty sure it is a typo and `95.8` should be `94.8`, that would fit the 0.1ms to 0.2ms diff the `99.99999` and `max` seem to have in the article.

That is what I am talking about. It could be either in the initial coin hand, because the performer just let it drop, or the performer could take it. There is no way of knowing. You have to guess based on the situation, and the thumb part feels like a stretch.

It feels like more an intuition based thing that might relate to some level of intelligence which might correlate to having thumbs for certain mammals?

Illusion involving a hidden thumb confounds capuchin and squirrel monkeys for the same reason as humans – it misdirects the expected outcomes of actions they can carry out.

To be fair. As a human I would state you expect it to be a trick (a very easy one to spot in this case) and you can easily infer that the coin just _drops_ into the hand it was to start with. It does not feel that it has anything todo with what actions you can carry out. The coin is either grabbed by the non-coin hand or not, it depends on the magician, right?

You are right. If I tilt the screen while changing distance to the screen and keep blinking with my eyes while I do this, I, besides looking like a maniac, can weaken the effect and even make it disappear entirely.

This is not as trivial as you make it sound. You would need to know the amount of functions you want to have provisioned at all times, if you need more, cold starts will occur. In addition this creates base costs, which would not exist otherwise.

I use the setup described.

It was some tinkering around with bucket name (has to match the subdomain.domain.tld) and the cloudfront origin settings. But it works flawlessly. Feel free to ping me if you need details.

4. Trying to get www.dontwordle.com and dontwordle.com to take you to the same URL (either www.dontwordle.com or dontwordle.com) and still support TLS and only use the tech I mentioned above. I actually still don’t have it working perfectly. I know of a solution, but it’s overly complicated

If you use Cloudfront with an S3 bucket as origin for _dontwordle.com_, just create a second Cloudfront with an S3 Bucket for _www.dontwordle.com_ and enable "static website hosting" to redirect to "dontwordle.com" on the second bucket.
