"Weaponized marijuana" is neither a weapon nor marijuana.

"But the industry sure wants to convince us that scalability is the most important property of infrastructure, because then they can sell us complicated tech we don't need and support contracts to help us use it."

And lets not forget: replace any and all efforts at code optimization with "just throw another rack of blades at it".

It should be convincing, because the test specifies a time limit in the range of a couple of minutes.

What salient factors distinguish a cable company from a "mere" streaming video service? Demand programming? Nope. Time shifting? Nope. Advertisement? Nope. Other than the literal media the data flows over, what is the legally meaningful difference?

The (scientist approved) test for determining basic matter phases is very rudimentary. Put the object/quantity in question in a can. Does it fill the whole space of the can, no matter what size can you use? Then it's a gas. Does it fill just the bottom of the can? Then it's a liquid. Does it instead retain its shape? Then it's a solid.

This is what happens when dev teams hate ops teams. Troubleshooting a production bug without a terminal is a recipe for lengthy outages.

Amazingly few discotheques provide jukeboxes.

>the correlation between the mix of men and women in a career with the self-reported interest in that career is 0.56

Low quality research detected. Self-reported interest in a trendy subject is a poor way to evaluate genuine dedicated interest in that subject.

>For some reason when we apply the same principle to being respectful to people who don't want to relive a trauma they themselves lived, it's ridiculous.

Part of the ridiculousness is that although it's relatively easy to know when you would be spoiling a show, anything can be a trigger. So it isn't even possible to supply a meaningfully comprehensive "trigger warning".

What a bunch of colonialist garbage. You're probably Israeli, right?

"Rational nations"? Get real. No nations are rational. Nations are driven by political systems that are driven by the emotions of the populations of those places. Are human emotions rational? Are human emotions more rational in Israel than they are in Ghana or North Korea?

>Because it's how 99% of websites get their funding, allowing them to survive.

So then, I'll unblock ads to help companies survive just as soon as those companies start giving me money to help me survive.

Not when the people who design the things are being paid to make them not-nice.
