The military is primarily compromised of poor rural folks. Conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1. I'm not sure what direction the other quarter (nonvoters) would break.

The military skews right. Strongly. That's a big part of the problem.

No love for jetbrains?

I run massive, global kubernetes clusters in AWS for a company you've probably heard of. There is no queue of clean VMs--not like you're thinking anyway. And provisioning a new node can take Too Long under not-all-that-uncommon scenarios.

The next best option is overprovisioning the cluster, but even 1% overhead has big costs at this scale.

For large scale compute clusters with elastic load I absolutely care. The difference between one and five minutes of boot time when I ask for a hundred new instances to be provisioned is huge in terms of responsiveness to customer requests.

I bet pardoning the 1/6ers qualifies as giving aid and comfort.

If it's domestic, there's at least some recourse available. Facebook was fined $5 billion for the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

When they own the platform they can use it to serve you catered disinformation.

They can have your data but unless they can also decide what you see as a result, it's not the same thing.

That's the difference.

As the primary author of my previous org's GHAs (not GH Enterprise, just the team tier) I found some feature gaps compared to org[n-2]'s Jenkins but they were fairly quickly filled.

I was initially skeptical but it wasn't more than a month or two before I was just glad to be off Jenkins. And now that I'm back to a big org with a big Jenkins footprint, I really miss GHA.

Having everything be contextual in the same place is a huge value add for me.

But mechanically that's just moving the confidence threshold to 100% which is not achievable as far as I can tell. It quickly reduces to "all objects are pedestrians" which halts traffic.

Franken should have been running for President. Smart, incisive, charismatic. Everything we needed.

Fuck.
