> Why not offer buses from where their employees live or other means of transportation?
Apple, like many other big Bay Area tech companies, has dozens of buses and shuttles that ship people around daily (even all the way up to places like Berkeley).
I imagine a late 1800's version of you would also require car owners to use their horse and buggy exclusively at least once a week because it will "give a lot of people jobs". That's some sloppy reasoning.
I hate reactions like this. You've deduced that Etsy.com is likely a "dysfunctional organisation" for the mistake of missing an "Unsubscribe" link in a single email. If that's all it takes, we certainly live in an incredibly dysfunctional world (which is sort of true, I guess).
Way too often I see people in this industry pretend as though everyone else is expected to conform to the strictest of standards yet the same rules never seem to apply to our own self-created fires. "Google Apps is down! Clearly Google has some quality control issues!" Or maybe a well-intentioned human made a small unhandled error.
The are a few possible scenarios but none of them look good to me: how do you think it's possible for a CEO to send out emails without, presumably, them being checked for legislative compliance.
Like Etsy don't have an email template? Or don't have anyone in ITS who knows about CAN-SPAM? Or the boss over-ruled them? Or the org didn't care about spam? Or everyone was too afraid to mention it? Or ...
You can say "they just left it out", but how? If Etsy was a startup or 3 person business then, OK, it's a reasonable excuse. (Etsy have more than 600 employees according to Google search.)
Yes errors happen, this one looks bad for the organisation to me.
From what I can tell, this is a web interface wrapper around a suite of Amazon tools – but nothing is forcing you to exclusively use them once you've created your project.
> It's pretty trivial to do this kind of thing with Jenkins or Gitlab CI
I think you might be trivializing what's being offered here. This is bigger than a CI server.
Can you help me understand what is being offered here? Is it basically a wrapper for, in the Rails world, spin up EC2 instance -> install make / git -> clone repo -> bundle install -> install nginx -> configure nginx to whatever app server they have decided you will be using -> set up CI server? I wonder if you can customize how the recipe gets built?
It basically just seems like an AWS specific deployment recipe as a service for people who might not be familiar with a tool like Ansible. Is that accurate?
Insurance with pre-existing condition is just health care. You are not insuring against anything.
My guess is that if Republicans want to remove the individual mandate AND the pre-existing condition clause, they're going to have to at least allow for some grace period to allow those currently enrolled in ACA to move to another plan with the pre-existing condition clause still in place.
Good luck defining "low". Also, coarse percentages of charge provide no indication of the amount of time left of a battery based on current activity. Which is something you would need in the above offline/save example.
You say this now. Just wait a few years when this is a common pattern for distributing cross-platform applications. I'd much rather start up an image than clutter my system with a pile of dependencies that I may need to even compile. No thanks.
One thing I do to avoid this is to write out the Docker environment to a file in my home directory. Then I source that file, if it exists, for each new terminal session. Not perfect, but you can see it here: https://github.com/bentruyman/dotfiles/blob/392914f92e5a8d8d...
But DLite appears to resolve a lot of this 'hackiness'.
