My prompt for that is, When did I last dramatically fail Kate at decision support?

Recalling the scene and the details is part of the exercise.

I do the visualization while journaling about it. Here is an example of what that written record looks like.

Aug 19, 2025. She was stressed because she thought that Phoenix’ dentist was ripping her off. A couple of quick suggestions later, and her meltdown was not about how bad I am at decision support!

Kate is able to come to the right decision. She wants someone to listen to her, be there emotionally, and not offer suggestions unless they have a lot of context. But first, second, and third, make her feel listened to.

Note. This is tied to a visualization that causes me to connect to the right emotion at the right time. So I not only won't do the wrong thing, but I'll also be doing the right thing.

It's even more than the bottom 5% if you only look at the US. 13 million or 10.4% of US households have negative net worth according to [1]. I've seen articles claiming that the bottom 15-25% of US Americans have negative net worth. So I am richer than all these households combined. Technically true, but completely misleading.

This is really surprising low to me. Does it perhaps exclude mortgages on primary domiciles?

What libraries are ending support for HTTP/1.1? That seems like an extremely bad move and somewhat contrived.

HTTP versions less than 2 have serious unresolvable security issues related to http request/response smuggling and stream desynchronization.

I feel like there is a huge difference between a shared kitchen and a shared bathroom. I'm fine with the former, and I would personally take that if the price was right.

But the latter is gross.

This type of housing is somewhat common in Japan. It's called a "share house"

Japan uses employer subsidy to break even. It a below the line tax in the same way health insurance is in the US.
EE84M3i · 25 days ago
What do you mean by employer subsidy here? Are you referring to the system where employers reimburse the costs of transit fees for commutes?

Many companies in Tokyo prevent their employees from commuting by car (legally commute is covered by workers comp insurance, and many companies do not elect the more expensive car coverage option) - so even in the absence of workers paying for the commute, public transit (or bike/walk) would be the only realistic option.

Not parent comment, but TS is generally safe if you have types correct at system borders, but very scary when you don't. Some of the most impactful bugs I've seen are because a type for an HTTP call did not match the structure of real data.

Also, many built in functions do not have sufficient typesafey like Object.entries() for instance

What do you mean by "safe" in this context?

What ARM64 machines are you using and what are they used for? Last year you were announcing Gen 12 servers on AMD EPYC (https://blog.cloudflare.com/gen-12-servers/), but IIRC there weren’t any mentions of ARM64. But now it seems you’re running ARM64 in full production.

I seem to recall Cloudflare hosts their some of their non-edge compute on public clouds? Like control plane stuff. Could be that.

I was actually thinking of other non-transit e-money cards like iD and WAON (my fault that wasn't clear from my comment). For an iD card linked to an SMBC credit card, your iD spending limit is the same as your credit limit [1] - which can be upwards of ¥10M. I don't know how or why anybody would spend that much in iD transactions, but I bring it up because it shows that SMBC seemingly has as much trust in iD security as they do for Visa's online transaction processing.

Yeah I think ID is basically a parallel protocol for charging credit/debit cards

I'm not sure what they have in mind for supporting offline payments, but I think that Japan's FeliCa-based [1] electronic money systems (Suica, iD, etc) are pretty impressive. They are most typically used to pay for transportation, but also widely accepted at stores, vending machines, etc. Balances are stored on the card, and it's very fast to use and seems secure for the most part. Recently it's also available on any smartphone or smartwatch with NFC. Japan was pretty slow to adopt touch payment for credit cards, so for a while it was my favorite form of payment.

Transit cards have a pretty low charge limit compared to credit cards - Suica balance is limited to ¥20,000 for example (although for cards that are backed by a credit card, I think the limit is higher). And now that Japan has fully embraced credit card touch payments, FeliCa-based systems are losing market share to Visa, Mastercard, etc.

But it really shines for applications requiring speed (i.e. a turnstile in Tokyo station) or offline payments (a vending machine in a park somewhere).

I have a Suica thats integrated into a credit card, and it still has a ¥20,000 limit - the Suica balance is separate from the card balance, it just has a configurable auto top-up setting.

Interestingly, if I'm out of the Suica zone, sometimes auto top-up won't trigger. If I recall correctly this happened to me once in Fukuoka, presumably because there's some level of integration above just accepting payments that Hayakaken hasn't achieved. Never had a problem with Passmo interop though.

I've never heard of a suica with a higher limit, but it's possible they exist or that other compatible cards have higher limits.
