ben_vulpes: heroku databases are pretty dang performant, even if they are heavily constrained on the number of rows users are allowed.
decimation: is that an unsql database?
ben_vulpes: i refer specifically to their hosted postgres databases.
decimation: ah. postgres is useful.
ben_vulpes: postgres being a pretty awesome sql db.
ben_vulpes: i just cut a client over to aws from heroku and while everything went darn swimmingly, amazon's performance throttling of dbs is pretty painful.

ben_vulpes: i fail to see the import of this.
decimation: I thought the two articles were a good juxtaposition
ben_vulpes: raaarh except for the hideous autoplaying video
ben_vulpes: i can't help reading this as anything but a play to increase the "funnel" of "civil rights" cases that justify the expansion of "rights" perpetually.
decimation: usg simultaneously: 1) is unable to responsibly handle even minimal tasks like "keep employee details confidential" while 2.) demands others follow its crazy interpretations of its crazy laws
ben_vulpes: oh but decimation that's an incompetent /private sector/ actor.
ben_vulpes: this just goes to show that we really need to regulate the people with databases so that they don't leak things.
decimation: ah, of course. there's no way usg is liable for the actions of someone they hired
ben_vulpes: goodness no!
ben_vulpes: nor are government contractors notoriously incompetent.
ben_vulpes: all of the hotshot engineers want to work at northrup grumman! they make things so quickly, and their things are always /so good/.

ben_vulpes: i'd have a bro in a meshback trucker cap do my sql if they came in at a good rate and didn't need hand holding
decimation: I would humbly suggest that maybe usg "failed to prepare" because they assumed that once they set the transgendered free from their oppression a new golden age would dawn
undata: one can't assign one narrative to a pile as big as the USG
undata: decimation: that only works if you accept the freedom-spreading justification
undata: they failed to prepare because stability was never the aim

undata: oh sure
undata: as for trannies, I'm fine with 'em
undata: to chance being labeled as an MRA, I don't think the progressive demonization of heterosexual maleness is at all healthy
undata: but were there not a govt handing out welfare to every newly formed oppressed minority it wouldn't be an issue
ben_vulpes: nah undata it's great
decimation: undata: agreed. In the same way, I wouldn't have a problem with free immigration, if it didn't come with infinite benefits as a newly oppressed minority
