Does anyone have an app for sponsorships that would uphold this in escrow?

I understand the latency of printing merch and building media, but a platform with some teeth would put the brakes on this behavior.

You just described the entirety of the US coal mining business. The wealthy families who owned these companies have massively benefited, but the state and federal governments are now paying entirely for the reclamation and cleanup of their mine sites.

Privatize profits, socialize costs.

Imagine being Meta right now. The metaverse fell apart, their newsletters and podcasting didn’t work out, they haven’t been successful in competing with TikTok, and they are plagued with content moderation problems. They then reduced headcount by ~10% in a ~100,000-person company.

A company with 2 billion daily active users, and they’re following Twitter’s paid verification to make more coin. What do Meta employees do all day? Really.

They’ve digressed to arguing about CC and CoC. Yikes.

Stupid proposal. If I wanted telemetry, I’d implement with a trusted party, whose service I am paying to use.

The callsign of the F-22 which downed the balloon off the US east coast was FRANK01, as a homage to Frank Luke, one of the American “balloon busting aces” mentioned in this article.

Replace what “S3” with “S3-compatible object storage”.

I am absolutely with you. There’s a certain large company I work for who has public documentation full of stuff like this. It makes me insane when I find it so glaring. There’s an internal program to proofread and review, but quantity is incentivized, not quality. I’ve tried to shove that program in a better direction to no avail.

100%. I have found it sooo difficult to trace framework/library documentation down that 3-4 years ago was first few results. Something has ruined their algorithm.

Wowwww. This is exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn’t put it into such a terse simple example. +1

While Cloud.gov had great fanfare years ago when introduced. Underneath it’s just Pivotal/CloudFoundry buildpacks and standardized security assurances. It’s exorbitantly costly for lower scale projects. Most three-letter agencies have their own security review processes on top of these assurances anyway. So the time-savings expected are quickly diminished.

Someone could do very well for our governments’ efficiency to STOP the redundant overhead in security controls currently. Preventing security teams becoming a gatekeeping police department and staffing/hiring with those more inclined to automate (SecOps) rather than to interpret policy inconsistently would be excellent.

Demand for diesel has been higher as supply chains catch up. In general you are correct, but ULSD goes through a desulfurization process which makes diesel a cleaner fuel while increasing costs.

My truck doesn’t drive near pedestrian areas. A smaller truck cannot trailer my work loads or toys. My modern diesel with high-tech emissions systems intact gets 20+ mpg unloaded.

Perhaps some of you remember trucks of the 80s. Not much has changed dimensionally, without safety improvements. Those did ~8-10 mpg unloaded while making 25% of the power with half the tow rating of a recent truck and none of the modern safety features for collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring, etc. The armchair distortion is real here. Please visit the numbers before making blanket anecdotes—the manufacturer websites have good uptime for their brochures. :)

So we’re promoting secrets being saved within a container image artifact? Ummmm?

Why bother? They’ll just have their spouse as a rathole for trading.
