One issue is plumbing. A floor of apartments needs more pipes and drains than were built in for office space. Interesting problem to solve, for sure.


Besides plumbing, one thing that came up on a similar discussion in the subreddit for my local area was that there the codes are different between commercial & residential in terms of how far away a room can be from an exterior wall. And it's not uncommon for commercial buildings to have a lot of space that would be unusable in a residential setting because of this.


Not really. Most of these kind of offices have either a raised floor or suspended ceiling, making the addition of this kind of service trivial, compared to doing it in residential buildings. Natural light and fire escapes will be more difficult to provide.


Plumbing wasn't an issue for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Van_Ness_Avenue

I think the shape of the building matters most.

Most children understand the Golden Rule without much guidance. Being good isn't complicated or controversial. Sharing feels good. Friendship feels good. Being kind feels good. Expressing appreciation feels good.

So there's no good reason to write an article about the value of being grateful, unless you aren't:

Entitlement also often develops among kids who are not told no. This kind of entitlement is wreaking havoc on American society today, including and especially among the black culture, where the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement has appealed to black men and others who share the common misfortune of not having a good father in the home to discipline them.

Gratitude doesn’t come naturally for most people. The growing turmoil in our society, including riots and general disrespect for the law and order that has made America prosperous for hundreds of years, can be directly traced back to a lack of gratitude on the part of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people who feel like society owes them everything, that they can be perpetual takers while giving back little to nothing.

This is truly racist, sanctimonious rubbish.


Anyone interested in historical Indian law cases that didn't set good precedent might be interested in reading In the Courts of the Conqueror: The 10 Worst Indian Law Cases Ever Decided, by Walter Echo-Hawk.


Watch Gaza Fights for Freedom, a documentary by Abby Martin and Mike Prysner, for a horrifying look into what life is like in Gaza for the Palestinian people. It was filmed inside Gaza and the footage smuggled out.

It is a humanitarian crisis to say the least. I personally think it's closer to genocide.


While it's nice that Dell promotes Linux, they need to greatly improve their support for the products they sell. I bought an XPS with Ubuntu and regret it: persistent wifi issues, erratic power consumption with sleep/suspend, and zero software diagnostic tools available for download. Tech Support was friendly and helpful but was ultimately unable to help me troubleshoot, seeming to have no Linux-based tools, manuals, or experience on their end. I was somehow even more out of luck when I upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10 -- Support resisted providing any support for a non-Dell installed OS version.


Bundling service config and launch makes the whole process easier, for sure. There's also more than one way to configure this depending on what your needs are, so it'd be cool to have a few different versions of SCAR.

I started with a setup similar to your diagram and tweaked it when I realized S3 didn't serve index.html when the URL was just the parent "directory", i.e. example.com/foo/ doesn't resolve to s3://example.com/foo/index.html. To get this working I had to write a bit of JS in a Lambda function and deploy it at the edge of my CloudFront distribution to do some URL rewriting.

Given that's the behavior most people expect, might be worth considering?


I think that behaviour should be handled with index documents in S3, without the need for lambda: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/IndexDocumen...


I've always used it this way and it works fine indeed.


That should indeed be the default behavior out of the box with the way the S3 buckets are configured. I have a couple Jekyll sites deployed this way, and a request to the parent directory does get served by the contents in `index.html`. Are you not seeing that behavior?

I'd definitely like to add more variants of the default stack. At the minimum, I'm sure there are folks that prefer `www` redirects to the apex domain, or removing the `www` subdomain altogether.


I've seen this more where I'm from, too. Our underwater ecosystem is collapsing. Their world must be like some of our smog-choked, acid rain hellscapes, if not moreso and even more acute.


I freedive and spearfish in that underwater ecosystem on a weekly basis between Malibu, Santa Monica, and Palos Verdes. It's fine, much cleaner than the wilderness around there on land.

As for the article, it's an interesting data point but who knows, there is a lot we are still learning about the ecosystem. There's clearly some strange patterns this year - warm currents have been bringing up large tuna to just off of Long Beach and that may be affecting plankton and bacterial populations, especially with the organics from the rain runoff seeding the waters. Domoic acid poisoning is a natural phenomenon but it's no joke.


How did you get in to spearfishing? I saw it in a sailing video recently and it appeals as far more interesting and time-efficient than traditional fishing. Can you recommended any media?


Through another friend in tech - it's good to have someone to show you the ropes because there is a lot of tribal knowledge. YouTube and forums are somewhat of a help but most of what I've learned is from listening at the spear shop or going on public charter trips and listening to the elders.

This guy has my favorite spearfishing YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0tqvgU_8Qg


Cheers will take a look. Fantasizing about sailing before all the coral dies.
