Long term foreign relationships cannot be built on top of four year presidential terms. Besides Israel, I'm not sure any country has continuity between recent administrations.
The US can do this because the dollar's global reserve currency status. This works on a longer cycle but will be far more painful and difficult to address when it reaches a tipping point.
The desire to come and immigrate to the US has greatly diminished. This use to be a easy decision for foreign students to stay in the US for work opportunities. Nowadays, a US degree isn't considered prestigious outside of a few elite schools and the cost has completely spiraled out of control. I've talked to numerous colleagues who abandoned waiting for a green card because it's no longer a clear cut decision. Opportunities and quality of life in other countries have either caught up or surpassed the US in certain areas. This would of been unthinkable 10-20 years ago.
They already have factory in Mexico and no the US government already shut this path off. The only option is to build a plant in the US (they build buses in California but spun it off). The current political climate is rather hostile and highly unlikely.
Infrastructure components should still be written in code but composing multiple components (network, infra, database) is often a Byzantine maze of different tooling/language choices (terraform/pulumi/crossplane) and multiple pull requests.
If you shift to an application developers perspective, and zoom out a level most medium/large org still require interaction with multiple teams to spin up an application. Testing and deploying this stack end to end is expensive and time consuming.
I’m not sure what the optimal solution looks like, but certainly open to tools that force us to think more about building interfaces around infra components and wire it together without navigating PRs in a dozen different repos. PR should be the process to create a new version of a component, but not an API for users requesting an instance of that component.
That’s when both electric and gas motor are running. If you want to restrict to electric only and take advantage of the battery for short daily driving it will be significantly slower.
The private sector also established they will value profit above all else like pre-existing conditions they won’t cover, what’s in vs. out of network, who I need approval before I go see a specialist, limits on overall coverage, an ambulance ride that costs more than a first class plane ticket.
I want a system that measures outcomes that doesn’t sap double digit GDP, but the incentives are not structured in a way for success in this country (private or public).
It’s ARM but with a unique boot process and other proprietary hardware component (gpu, ssd). Check the previous hnews posts and original kickoff document:
During my last visit using GoogleFI, the mobile phone shows a US IP when running whatismyip. So even though the phone is connected to the local telecom 5G network, traffic is segmented and routed back to the US carrier (T-Mobile in AWS US east IP ranges if I remember correctly) before hitting any website. So phones with GoogleFI sim works like a US client with a bit higher latency. This was really nice, but attempting to tether another device to the phone was a highly frustrating exercise as it did not work reliably whatsoever.
There's third party services that performs reverse lookup of bad reviews to find the buyer identity and contact info. The whole purpose is to circumvent the Amazon customer contact process.
I left 1 star review for a product, and the seller tried continuously to solicit withdraw or revision of the review. I attempted to update the review calling out this behavior with screenshot of the email and Amazon wouldn't approve it. Ultimately, they replaced it with a product revision and immediately got another 20k reviews with near 5 star rating.
There's very little anonymity for buyers given all our digital crumbles. The entire digital economy's purpose is to track and identify you as a consumer. On top of this, how reviewers are paid via affiliates is the wrong incentive model. I'm not sure how this could be fixed, but I would be interested in a service that flipped the information asymmetry and gave me insight on the company selling the product and their trust worthiness. Company ownership would be icing on the cake since brands change hand so frequently (see example: https://toolguyd.com/tool-brands-corporate-affiliations/).
Alibaba for example use DoD address ranges for their management servers running Alicloud services. They assumed since nothing in their cloud platform would connect to those addresses they can use these them to alleviate IPv4 shortage. In Alicloud, the customer have the right to use any RFC1918 addresses, so they had to be creative since they didn’t have sufficient IPv4 addresses.
