Couple suing Google Maps after it sent them to a notorious crime hotspot where they were brutally attacked and robbed at gunpoint

And what exactly would you have done differently? At what point would you have started to ignore the GPS directions and randomly drive around in an area you know nothing about?

This isn't the same as driving off a cliff or the wrong direction on a one-way road, these people were targeted by experienced criminals. I'm not saying it's Google's fault, but maybe let's try to avoid blaming the victims of a vicious attack.

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make, since I very clearly wrote I also don't think this was Google's fault (even if they did stop sending people through that area a mere couple of weeks after this incident).

I also don't think it's fair to blame these people for this, and so I'm trying to understand what you would've done differently in the same situation.

How do you deploy in 10 seconds?

Your proposed solution to overly complex systems seems to be to ignore the requirements that make them complex in the first place. If that works for you, this is a perfectly fine approach. But most companies with actual signed SLAs won't accept "we'll just have a few seconds of downtime/high latency every time a developer deploys something to production #yolo".

Why am I seeing recent content from Beehaw?

Reply in thread

That's exactly where my question comes from: I understand that existing Beehaw posts (from before the de-federation) are still visible and interactable from lemmy.world (albeit only lemmy.world users will see the new comments), but I thought new posts would never reach this instance.

What's with the schism between lemmygrad and beehaw?

Reply in thread

I had the exact same question and got some answers in this post.

The short story seems to be:

  • users in beehaw.org no longer see new posts and comments created by users of lemmy.world
  • users in lemmy.world no longer see new posts and comments by users in beehaw.org
  • existing posts and comments from beehaw.org (from before the defederation) are still accessible and interactable by lemmy.world users, however only other lemmy.world users will see those replies.

Please help me dial in my espresso.

I highly recommend a scale (with 0.1g precision) to weigh how much coffee goes in vs how much liquid comes out. Without it you're just going to be eyeballing and that will quickly become frustrating (I've been there). No need to spend a lot of money, a cheap €20 one will get you a long way.

Once you get a scale, you can follow this simple recipe:

  1. grind 18g of coffee (weigh the grounds, do not weigh the beans unless you have a very good grinder with low/no retention)
  2. Extract your espresso for 30 seconds
  3. Weigh the liquid in the cup, it should be around 36g (1:2 ratio). If it's under 36g you're grinding too fine, if it's over then you're grinding too coarse.
  4. Repeat until you consistently get it right.

After it's dialed in, you can start making micro-adjustments to your liking.
