And the people that do work night shifts, have their shifts either shortened or extended by an hour as well (at least in Germany, from what I’m aware)

Before companies went global 24/7, this was really a rare problem.

These days, you could have a global company where some emergency occurs and you have to call a meeting at sometime on Saturday wrt your location timezone, but one of the other locations is several hours ahead of your timezone such that the meeting occurs during/around the transition period for their location's timezone.

So, not common at all. But it may happen. That's why they choose the transition times to occur when most of the LOCAL population DOES NOT schedule meetings.

I don't think there were any Saturday/Sunday virtual meetings when this timezone stuff was created... Simpler times...

Curious, did you go through the math of figuring out how much the initial file transfer and ongoing cost will set you back (not a lot from the sounds of it). Should be way to do, but I’ve just not found the time yet to do that for a backup I’m intending to send to S3 as well

Yes- AWS calculator: 1) S3- cost for how much you're storing in glacier and then the cost for its metadata to he in a S3 hot/warm tier. 2) Glacier retrieval cost- can be minimized by letting AWS pull it on their schedule. 3) BANDWIDTH- this is the vast majority of the cost at $0.09/GB. There may be ways to lower this, but I haven't tried them.

I'm not saying its a bad deal, I very much wish I'd gone with deep archive (especially with the recent addition of "update if different" to the API)

As Germans like to say: the rules are the rules!

So is this Recall by Microsoft, without having to use Windows? Great!

What do you mean, 50 years ago? Go to any smallish town in German and you’ll find a farmers market about once a week, with people shouting at passerby’s to buy their cheap produce. Probably the same in most European countries, and I’d wager in many other parts of the world?

Sure. One difference.

I can't hear them here in Canada, and indeed, I can't hear everyone on the planet who is shouting.

Unlike spam.

You read the spam in my inbox today?

You got the initial product invite from the GP?

Looks like it’s octets: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

Been using dokku for probably 8 years now? (or something close to that; it used to be written entirely in bash!) Hosting private stuff on it, and an application at $oldplace probably also still runs on this solid setup. Highly recommended, and the devs are a great sport!

Sure. That's a very biased way of looking at things. RBs/REs, and even S-/U-Bahn are likely to have ample seating even during "rush hours" in most of Germany. But it sounds like you've never seen cities like London during rush hour? Tubes are tightly packed with people. Even if you get a seat, it's unlikely you'll feel comfortable bringing out your laptop. I've got a friend who does indeed commute ~50min to Cambridge by train and gets some work done. But that's rather the exception for a city like London. Many people will have similarly long commutes just being stuck inside the tube with little space to maneuver.

I'm sure you can find more big-name examples like London but that some of the biggest cities out there are packed neither invalidates everyone else's experience nor should be a major surprise methinks. Probably more biased than looking at how the remaining 95% of the system runs? Of course, either extreme is biased

And anyway, saying you can be productive in a 30 minute train ride comes from the same mentality that says you can knock out some work "between meetings" when your calendar is a swiss cheese of meetings. It's not nothing, I guess, but it's sure not any kind of productive focus time, even in the best of scenarios.

I think it’s a demo of the interface and nothing more
