I have a similar experience. Recently my account got suspended for no reason. I have been logging in and reading up on the tutorials / documentation to see how to use Oracle Cloud and I hadn't even started using any of the free resources yet, but my recently created account got suspended nonetheless. Unless my account was hacked (which I would like to be notified of) I cannot have violated any ToS. I got the same non-response when I asked why my account was removed.
To me it looks like Oracle isn't being honest about their "always free" tier and they just shut down non-paying accounts to cut costs if they don't foresee them converting into paying customers any time soon. If it were a bug / mistake, then I would have expected better support (restoring the account or providing a new account if that's not possible), but being ghosted by a big corporation when you know for a fact that you did nothing wrong is pretty frustrating.
I have not had such a bad experience with any cloud company ever. I sincerely hope Oracle changes, but as it stands I will never spend a dime with Oracle and I will dissuade anyone from using their services, because of how unreliable they have demonstrated themselves to be.
Same. Though I created one instance with one ARM core just to test and forgot about it. Oracle must have used some model to see I wasn't going to pay or something.
That is so incredibly short-sighted of them. The same thing happened to me. Twice. I guess there was no way for Oracle to know that I was 'kicking the tires' in my personal time, to see if it might be worth migrating some of my previous company's millions in cloud spending to them.
Dropping testosterone levels and decreasing sperm quality are not a "right wing fear", but a scientific fact, and that should concern everyone: right and left wing, men and women.
Also, to look at this 1 compound in isolation and downplay the significance of it, without considering the cumulative and synergistic effects of all the other xeno estrogens we are exposed to on a daily basis is irresponsible.
No, what's important is the truth or falsehood of a given claim. To attack the messenger, or to put focus on the messenger, is a dangerous path that leads to the deep divides we see, where reality seems just subjective to entire groups of people. It also contributes to a society more concerned about whether a fact is convenient or not for one's belief system, as opposed to an inquiry by a hungry mind which seeks to understand the world as-is (an ideal we should be fostering as intelligent people, for the good of society).
This is more religious-inspired thinking than protecting the world from what you call an information operation. Ironically those institutions do the same thing in reverse (omitting or cherry picking facts to fit narrative).
You are correct in normal circumstances, but when there is an active information operation in progress, people should be aware of that so they can evaluate claims in that light.
He is clearly responding to people who have a misunderstanding of what open source is, so you cannot blame him for correcting the wrong understanding as if he is the one who defined open source to include these additional expectations that go beyond the license. He is merely pointing out how the way he runs his project is also in accordance with the license.
He is talking about an i7 on an older node, since he is comparing the lower production cost of older nodes with their higher usage cost (electricity). I don't know what intel generation would correspond to 32nm, but that was the node discussed.
The funny thing is, carbs get blamed for the problems caused by saturated fat (lsuch as impaired insulin sensitivity, just see how bad the insulin sensitivity of those doing keto gets which should be impossible if carbs were to blame). Of course not all carbs are created equal, but if you stick with whole foods, you cannot go wrong.
I see this argument all the time, and while it is not wrong, for most people I think it is bad advice in the context of carbs because people don't understand it properly and even if they do, it is basically impossible to get truly wholegrain carb foods from standard markets/supermarkets in the west. Most people think pasta is healthy when its clearly highly refined white flour and not much else. Then there's bread; If you go looking for wholemeal bread, almost all of it will claim "wholemeal" on the packaging, but then if you read the ingredients, they only use a token amount of wholemeal flour, making up the rest with standard white flour. Some researchers even think that modern grinding techniques grind too finely and raise the GL of the flour, so even if you choose wholemeal flour, the way that it is processed can cause it to be not much better than pain white flour. To be clear about what I am arguing here, these things are "bad" when they cause large spikes in BGL and therefore insulin and I consider this a reasonable proxy for the "badness" of carbs. especially when they make up a large part of a meal portion. I also recognise that you're talking about whole foods in general, not just carbs, but I'm in 100% agreement with you for whole foods in general.
