That's not just AWS. That's Amazon generally. All Amazon orgs I've worked for have been like this, and due to the nature of my work, I (and my teams) have been treated like pariahs for daring to suggest that there ought to be even a minimal amount collaboration, shared standards, and cross-pollination on ideas between teams.

>Why must moving slowly be stigmatised?

Because some of us have jobs to get to, trains to catch, appointments to make, airplane gates to queue at, and just generally need to get-things-done!

All for slowness, but not amongst pedestrians.

People walking much slower than everyone else the crowd are called Meanderthals.

I am in two minds on that.

Firstly, they should be a little more aware if others around them.

Second, why are we rushing everywhere? Why can't we just take it slow?

I cannot reconcile that other than a middle path between them.

> Second, why are we rushing everywhere? Why can't we just take it slow?

I assign _zero_ value to walking between the train and my house. When I get home I can play video games / make food / read a book / play music / whatever. Every minute spent commuting is a minute of enjoyment lost vOv

I think that is where our difference of attitude is.

I see value, if you can call it that, in the off periods. That in having gaps, it make both the on and the off times better. Silence makes the music better. Hunger makes the food oh so much more enjoyable. That having the gaps is what makes it all so good.

Where as, chasing the hedonistic treadmill means you have to keep upping the engagement just to stay in place. To me, life is kind of like holding a wet bar of soap, you have to be gentle and nurse it, as if you try to hold on tight it will just slip out of your hands.

Get a smart band, then every minute spent walking will be a minute of exercise that's good for you. :) And fast walking raises your heart rate a bit, which is also good in the long term.

Because the trains and buses don’t run at 5 minute intervals, they run at 20+ min intervals, so missing one can mean a minimum of a 20+ minute delay, if you can fit onto the next one. That is the best case scenario if you do not have a connection to make, where delays can compound even further.

The majority of airliners are on 'dry lease' to their respective airlines to begin with.

…which makes it no different practically every other form of periodical news media that’s ever existed.

At first, the entire premise was facilitating group buying to meet manufacturer order minimums for unique or high-demand hardware, and discounts for meeting manufacturers' volume discount targets. Then it morphed into a general specialty/niche retailer for people with keyboard, headphone, "EDC" and began to also focus on "house brand" type merch.

It’s been tried, with some success. Pretty sure I’ve seen a post here on HN from someone that DIy’d it end to end.

But it’s also something that’s not responsible to shortcut. Shifting teeth around too fast can result in permanent root damage and even loss of teeth. There was a whole cottage industry in the US for a while focused on under cutting Invisalign with a reverse-engineered product, but they often moved on accelerated treatment timelines that caused a not-insignificant amount of harm to patients, and cut corners on intake (DIY at home mold kits) that also contributed to problems. Pretty sure all of the companies doing this are basically dead now.

Also no one has mentioned many mouths needed some teeth shaving to re-align. You are NOT doing that at home.

Also who’s attaching the attachments (I had 13 at first) to the teeth to help the aligners grab hold?

Current 'self pay' pricing (as of March 2025) for those without insurance coverage for Ozempic is $199/month for two months, then anywhere from $349 to $499/month depending on dosage.

That's actually less price-gougy than I expected!

As a long time Proton customer...I am fairly certain Proton has always been completely upfront that they will comply with lawful requests for information from the Swiss authorities, if response is obligated by Swiss law. Therefore this isn't especially surprising.

The key is and always has been to make sure that someone like Proton simply doesn't have the information so they can't give it away.

This is just impossible. If they're going to be sending your email to gmail then they need to see what's in it. So they will have the data at some point. You have to trust their brown eyes that they don't look at it while it's going through their inbound and outbound servers. But they're selling it as a technical protection, not a trust-based one.

Personally, if you want private Comms, just don't use email. The protocol is just not suitable.

Exactly, you can use bitcoin, even cash. You can even add credits with PayPal or a credit card, in which case Proton (I assume) won't remember your payment data. But if you attach credit card info permanently to your account then it can be retrieved.

This honestly looks like it was created by someone that’s never seen, let alone held a Tostitos Scoop in their life. The models don’t resemble the average Scoop at all.

Things are heating up in the Tostitos Scoop fandom

The article specifically mentions that the methodology here is to trick users into running an obfuscated CLI command…that downloads and runs a binary

Terminal commands have the ability to do dangerous things, like deleting all the user's files.

In this case, the user is warned that the command wants to do something dangerous and must manually allow or deny the action.
