I think their point is the current GOP is behaving like they're members of a dictatorship in that they won't speak out or against their dear leader and allow him to easily break laws daily which they would have impeached Biden for in an instant, and have completely given up their job of governing in service to the leader.

Sure the USA is still a two party system right now, but unless something completely drastic happens between now and four years from now, I fully expect Trump to say "the Constitution says a POTUS can only serve two consecutive terms", and he won't leave office and the GOP will be completely fine with that.

Good book. Have the hardcover on my bookshelf. Not a fan the cover art design though.

We just got emails yesterday about the EKS price increase. It's another reason we're trying to move the main app to the vendors SaaS because I don't have enough time and resources to be a fulltime k8s admin. The ecosystem moves way too fast and upgrades/deprecation happens way too quickly to keep up and to have time test / plan / rollout proper upgrades without breaking our critical production workloads.

This verbiage is standard for almost all internet/service providers, it's language to allow them to display your content on their behalf.

Isn't this just lawyer speak for "we update our model a lot, and we've never signed off on saying we're going to support every previous release we've ever published, and may turn them off at any time, don't complain about it when we do."

Your EC2 instance with instance-store storage when stopped can be launched on any other random host in the AZ when you power it back on. Since your rootdisk is an EBS volume attached across the network, so when you start your instance back up you're going to be launched likely somewhere else with an empty slot, and empty local-storage. This is why there is always a disclaimer that this local storage is ephemeral and don't count on it being around long-term.

The major issue out of the box vs any deduping backup software is that S3 doesnt support any deduplication. If you move or rename a 15GB file you're going to have to completely upload it again and also store a second copy and pay for it until your S3 bucket policy purges the previously uploaded file you've deleted. Also aws s3 sync is much slower since it has to iterate over all of the files to see if their size/timestamp has changed. Something like borgbackup is much faster as it uses smarter caching to skip unchanged directories etc.

Thats the entire point of the Apple ecosystem. They want to control the entire user experience end to end, and it is why many people like Apple products so much.

They're either going to keep getting their access cut, or sued into bankruptcy. You can't really piggyback off another companies service in violation of their TOS without things working out poorly for you IMO.

> Using tips as a substitute for paying a living wage needs to be eliminated everywhere, but I especially don't blame people for not realizing that a movie theater of all places is playing that game.

Many bartenders and servers, especially in high end restaurants would actively be against this policy. Mostly because these folks can earn $300-500 a night, and moving to some low wage salary would never compete with this.
