And this is usually one of the defining traits of a senior engineer. They understand the tech and its limitations, and thus are able to look around corners, ask good questions, and, overall, provide quality product input.

Hey there -- are you the HM or an engineer on the team? I'm currently a Sr SDE at Amazon in SD, and would love to chat about this role.

One can use OIDC instead of SAML for SSO.

I've always held dang in pretty high regard seeing his answers on controversial topics, and haven't seen what you said above.

Do you actually have to provide a reason for flagging a post? If so, I would love to see the reasoning behind flagging this one, and dang's reason for keeping it that way. But of course, this is a private website, so I'd understand, albeit disappointingly so, if this is buried.

This is very relevant w.r.t. HN being LLM-related and to the current political climate. It is also easily verifiable as a few X/Grok links on this thread show. Why is it flagged?

I wonder how that differs from the sibling post with the exact same prompt? https://x.com/i/grok/share/fov27TB0Zn9jH5ZYIV70nTqN2

Is there some entropy or randomness at play here? Or some sort of RAG? Even if it was RAG, the "reasoning" is very different and doesn't mention the clear censorship in the initial prompt that the one I linked mentions.

Property taxes work like that. People sometimes sell houses because they can't afford their property taxes when their assets increase in value substantially. Not saying I agree with that or not, but it is reality today.

They are taking the devices back for recycling.

Or, for read scenarios, putting a CloudFront distribution in front of the bucket!

You can get close with a Cognito Identity Pool that exchanges your user's keys for AWS credentials associated with an IAM role that has access to the resources you want to read/write on their behalf. Pretty standard pattern.

edit: I think I misread your comment. I understood it as your app wanting to delegate access to a user's data to the client, but it seems like you want the user to delegate access to their own data to your app? Different use-cases.

The best gem in all of it is this:

> You can make classes, but you can only ever make one instance of them. This shouldn't affect how most object-oriented programmers work.

This describes my experience with most OOP code very well.

This is awesome! I've been using https://jguitar.com/ for quite some time, specially the scales portion of it. I'll give this a try!

Most people in the world are sexually active before 18. Your teenage years are you prime years of curiosity. Now, yes, they shouldn't be engaging in sexual activities with older, more mature people. But there's zero problem in late teens just being teens and discovering themselves. The more information they have on how to do that safely, the better. This law (and your puritan line of thinking) does the exact opposite. Expect to see a rise in teenage STDs and pregnancy.
