> 2. Backups aren’t real until you’ve restored from them

Soooooo true. People get comfortable with archaic backup systems created by a mythical former employee. Then there's an outage, and you realize nobody knows how it works.

Don't worry, Apple has been watching for a decade plus. And it seems they will continue just watching

the damage is done. Why did they ever think it was a good idea to brag that they were going to destroy all middle/upper class jobs?

To market their product to c-suite people.

Because it helps to raise capital at low costs if your investors and creditors think you're going to replace all labor.

That brag seems tame compared to saying there is a decent change they'll end the human race.

Class blindness. Their buddies all love the idea of showing pesky workers their place.

Because that was the truth. Now they have learned they are going to have to lie to the people so the masses can be sleepwalked to the same eventuality.

I suppose we’ll see.

They were being earnest. People can't handle the truth, so now they're doing PR comms.

Hilarious that a company like Anthropic is the one receiving money from the billionaire wealth pledge.

A pro-democracy group in a non-democratic country got banned? whaaaaa? ... I mean their ideal outcome would be the toppling of the current government, so ya

you don't get to speak for all taxpayers. You can donate your $37

They’re speaking for taxpayers who understand causality and have a planning horizon.

A planning horizon would involve fixing the actual problem, which is the corruption in their government, rather than indirectly supporting it.

I think both are required. Make sure disease spread is understood and prevented and also make it so we don't have to babysit them. They're capable of having a functioning government, right? Or are we just patiently waiting for a revolution from their people?

I mean the idea that the people behind usaid weren’t aware of the corruption and engaged in long-term projects to reduce it is a little unkind.

You haven't written a line of code in 2 years and you're confused why its making you feel like you can't code?

Crazy it took them 133 years to do the obvious. Assuming your *entire* student-base is morally superior to the general population

That's not really the assumption they were making. It used to be that going to an elite university was good enough without also having top grades. Now there's more pressure, and cheating is way easier than before. In a similar vein, higher-tier schools tend to put less effort into weeding students out, because they assume everyone who got admitted there has already proven themselves enough. Wonder if that will last.

The elite have ALWAYS had special rules.

Whereas the rest of us were always assumed to be cheaters until absolutely cleared otherwise.

Just look at how people are treated by the dalits who run Proctorio. We were teated as less than human.

Yeah but they're lying to themselves. They cheated the whole time - guaranteed.

Might want to move your site to a server you own.... site is down due to "rate limits"

Rate limit from Cloudflare, so much for moving to EU Stack :/

They say

> Not everything moved. Cloudflare is a US company, I still use it, and I’m at peace with that.

which you admittedly couldn't read when you complained about it.

Always surprising to learn most people are cool
