One issue is plumbing. A floor of apartments needs more pipes and drains than were built in for office space. Interesting problem to solve, for sure.

This guy better brace himself for internet fame, he's got a full page dating profile on The Guardian. He might never leave Wales but I bet people come to him now.

Most children understand the Golden Rule without much guidance. Being good isn't complicated or controversial. Sharing feels good. Friendship feels good. Being kind feels good. Expressing appreciation feels good.

So there's no good reason to write an article about the value of being grateful, unless you aren't:

Entitlement also often develops among kids who are not told no. This kind of entitlement is wreaking havoc on American society today, including and especially among the black culture, where the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement has appealed to black men and others who share the common misfortune of not having a good father in the home to discipline them.

Gratitude doesn’t come naturally for most people. The growing turmoil in our society, including riots and general disrespect for the law and order that has made America prosperous for hundreds of years, can be directly traced back to a lack of gratitude on the part of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people who feel like society owes them everything, that they can be perpetual takers while giving back little to nothing.

This is truly racist, sanctimonious rubbish.

Anyone interested in historical Indian law cases that didn't set good precedent might be interested in reading In the Courts of the Conqueror: The 10 Worst Indian Law Cases Ever Decided, by Walter Echo-Hawk.

Watch Gaza Fights for Freedom, a documentary by Abby Martin and Mike Prysner, for a horrifying look into what life is like in Gaza for the Palestinian people. It was filmed inside Gaza and the footage smuggled out.

It is a humanitarian crisis to say the least. I personally think it's closer to genocide.

While it's nice that Dell promotes Linux, they need to greatly improve their support for the products they sell. I bought an XPS with Ubuntu and regret it: persistent wifi issues, erratic power consumption with sleep/suspend, and zero software diagnostic tools available for download. Tech Support was friendly and helpful but was ultimately unable to help me troubleshoot, seeming to have no Linux-based tools, manuals, or experience on their end. I was somehow even more out of luck when I upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10 -- Support resisted providing any support for a non-Dell installed OS version.

Bundling service config and launch makes the whole process easier, for sure. There's also more than one way to configure this depending on what your needs are, so it'd be cool to have a few different versions of SCAR.

I started with a setup similar to your diagram and tweaked it when I realized S3 didn't serve index.html when the URL was just the parent "directory", i.e. example.com/foo/ doesn't resolve to s3://example.com/foo/index.html. To get this working I had to write a bit of JS in a Lambda function and deploy it at the edge of my CloudFront distribution to do some URL rewriting.

Given that's the behavior most people expect, might be worth considering?

I've seen this more where I'm from, too. Our underwater ecosystem is collapsing. Their world must be like some of our smog-choked, acid rain hellscapes, if not moreso and even more acute.

I agree with you about government action.

That said, if you work for a company, rally together with your like-minded coworkers to push for change within your organization. Even small companies can have an outsized impact on both mindshare and environmental direction.

I belong to a group broadly devoted to environmentalism where I work, and we push on things from renewables; having less meat and more vegetables at lunch and dinner (we're very lucky to have catered food); and bringing in guest speakers.

I use a shared host for some personal projects, clients, and friends.

Most people I know aren't tech-savvy and want WordPress or small no-frills HTML website and the ability to upload files through FTP. I want email forwarders and mailboxes that are easy to configure, regular database backups, no-hassle SSL certificates, and decent email support.

I've been using Pair for about 10 years and I've been happy.
