   Kinda sorta. Yes, you a free to run off to anywhere in the world. Your passport protects you even in hostile countries. However, you are expected to return home and pay taxes. To leave the United States is an expensive affair if you want to truly leave by giving up your citizenship. To work abroad is expensive too if the foreign country has a lower tax rate. As a US citizen you are free to roam, but never to change your home.

   Why do they need to put these containers together? Why not create a 30 MW box and drop it in suburbia?

   Thanks, dang, for being reliable like clockwork.

   Honestly, it's a little of both. There are loud groups of people online that will be fine with this kind of logic. In fact there is a good number of those individuals right here on HN. Essentially I outlined what their talking points will be.

   At the same time, I'm tired of arguing for rights. I'm partially willing to let people burn the system to the ground to prove how right they are with removing rights from those they think to be undesirable.

   I assume this comment chain, at least mine, will be hidden by dang by the end of the weekend.

   I’m worried about that. I might be starting a medical application. I want a single language to teach to on-devs for front end and backend work. Dart looks good however, I don’t trust Google.

   The problem I have with Lombok is that suddenly it’s hard to trace getters and setter from the Pojo. By this I mean asking the question, “where is getId() used” is hard if I want to use the find references feature of the IDE.

   Don’t worry. There won’t be a lot of people soon. Those who survive are wealthy enough to have their children artificially.

   From hangin out on Reddit for dlang, the http server is pretty slow. This has caused people to look elsewhere. Some people are trying to improve the performance, but it’s not a high priority.

   Which is also largely why it’s hot.

    They can get big. Like 400-1000 LBS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogzilla

    They are vicious.

    Also they are tuff. They have about 1” of skull. They also have platted shoulders. This means that many handgun calibers do little to them. Well placed shots in the eye or ear will take them about. Otherwise you need a high powered round like a .454 or .3030.

    This means most creatures can’t take them on. We’ve also removed some that could like wolves.

    They reproduce rapidly. Even with wolves, their numbers grow because most alpha predators don’t want to fuck around with them for fun, only for food. Once the pack is satiated, the piggies move on.

    Boar are from Spain. They would let the pigs go while exploring. Come back a year later and you have a stocked larder. Hunt pig to get meat back on the menu.

    The line “it’s barbaric but hey it’s home. “

    That would be absolutely terrifying. The economy we have now is due to experts tinkering. Allowing the masses, who can't organize their own lives, to attempt to organize the economy will lead to more deaths and misery than the current system.

    Would you want a democratically elected airplane pilot with no training?

    And when you do those things, they will be shutdown. Bye bye Parlor.

    The price of GME is due to a squeeze. The shorts have to get out. People know this. They are refusing to sell. Manipulation but legal.
15. virmundi Jan 28, 2021 parent

    And that, kids, is how I lost $100,000.
16. virmundi Jan 25, 2021 parent

    Valid point. People in WSB are tracking shorts. Haven’t heard them call for bailing. Could be they just want to beat up the boomers.

    Here is a discussion on why they think it will go up. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l4tu4r/why_...

    I love WSB. Up 200% on GME, 240% NIO, 60% on Carnival Cruise. They have decent insight when you learn their lingo. They also admit this is gambling.

    Current GME argument. A short squeeze will come around April. Long term the guy that fixed Chewy is going to take over. It will become a good company again. However between those two sentences is a gap where the stock will go back down to 5-10. Current theory: ride the fucker to 300-500 like VW when it was short squeezed. Get out while there are still bag holders. Get back in later.

    Right. That makes it ideal for baseload. It can produce more than enough for regular loads. If necessary it can be augmented by solar and other power generation.

    Aurora wasn’t allowed at the time. The system is a simple stream logging app. Wonderful for our use case. Dynamo for so far. Corp politics made the RDS instance annoying to pursue.
20. virmundi Jan 24, 2021 parent

    Are there other constraints that might make DynamoDB a good fit? For example I made an app at a client. We could use RDS or we could use Dynamo. I went with Dynamo because it could fit our simple model. What’s more, it doesn’t get shut off nightly when the RDS systems do to save money. This means we can work work on it when people have to time shift due to events in the life like having to pick up the kids.
