Another great option is DuckDuckGo's 'Privacy Browser' (for Android AFAIK) that has tracking protection and ad-blocker baked right into browser's architecture. Thing I like about it the most is the minimalistic interface and no BS UX. Highly recommend.
Brave is worse than Firefox in every way. I don't want to use a browser that steals from publishers for the browser maker's benefit. If I'm going to steal from publishers, nobody should benefit.
All the Google reporting is stripped out. The Brave engineering team (I'm on the business team) is very serious about making sure that's all gone. Brave is open source so everyone can check their work.
If you're following video games, Pokémon isn't really anything special. It's an RPG. It's doesn't have any innovative gameplay. What was new at release, is the way it combines things which already existed at the time.
For example, in Final Fantasy V (which came out 3 years before pokémon), a character could already catch monsters and have them battle against others. Many games already had a collecting element. The exchange/trading might be new though, as well as selling the same game twice, with only a few differences between the two (to encourage exchanges… and boost sales).
It's special to me, the tv show and the trading cards assisted with that. I rekindled my love of the franchise getting into speed running a few years back. 10yo me would spend weeks slow grind progressing. 22yo me trying to speedrun it in sub 2 hours.
I'm not denying that it's special to many people, but this is true of many things in pop culture. I was answering the GG-parent with regards to "understanding" Pokemon. I'm arguing that it's easy to understand as a video game. As a pop culture phenomenon, the question doesn't really make sense, calling for a tautological answer.

Pokemon Red, Green, and Blue are the number two Game Boy video games of all time. Behind Tetris of all games. This is a pretty extreme reductive statement, akin to calling Super Mario 64 "just a 3D platformer."
Amazon should be picking up the tab on the AWS costs. Great PR move, great for customer case studies etc and slash what is probably 2nd or 3rd biggest cost driver.
AWS often releases features very early, to satisfy the first tranches of early adopters before rounding out the feature with feedback from these passionate users.
AWS EKS is a good example for anyone who has had a play already.
Nearly everything.
Old k8s version. No upgrade possible. Odd deployment process (not fully automated). Support is unable to help in a timely manner. First deployed cluster was directly broken (no DNS resolution).
We eyed on switching from kops to EKS. But immediately stepped down after experiencing so many issues.
Listen to the perspectives of those around you, but don't regurgitate what they say or follow what they say blindly. Ask them questions, challenge conventional wisdoms and ask "Why".
Experience is a form of bias and must always be taken with a clear head and a grain of salt.
My grandfather would always say: Advice is free, until you take it.
I learn most stuff by myself. Sure it speeds up the process a bit when someone teaches you, but often making all the mistakes by yourself you get a deeper understanding.
I agree. I worry about processes like Scrum which put so much emphasis on resolving “blockers”. Being able to spend a couple of days bashing your head against something thorny is a really important part of learning practical knowledge.
I am kind of surprised at everyone here saying how important it is. I would say its a far more crucial skill to be able to learn by yourself for this industry.
