I'm still naïve about traveling with Deutsche Bahn. I used to travel a lot with trains, I used to have one of the magical Bahncard 100 for several years. Fortunately, I don't travel that much anymore. Then I left Germany and now I'm back and I still have the instinct that taking the train will work.
Today's trip is from Bruxelles to Stuttgart. Planned from 18:25 to 23:11, with one change in Frankfurt.

I'm worried too many SF voters are buying Scott Wiener's pivot that he's now supposedly a big critic of Israel.
He opposed a ceasefire, met with the Israeli president four months into the genocide, and authored bills to crack down on pro-Palestine protests and speech on college campuses. He hasn't attempted to repeal those bills or apologized for those stances. If you didn't know this or need a refresher, I highly recommend Nadia Rahman's report:

Er zitten 7 nieuwe dagen in de data: 19 t/m 25 oktober. Helaas betreft alleen de eerste twee dagen hiervan meer dan 50% van de meetstations. Een correctie volgende week tot ruim boven de 500 is mogelijk dus.

At this point, I started to look deeper at performance. Compute instance startup was taking over 30 seconds, and each generation propagation was about 55-75 seconds
I worked this from a few angles:
- parallelize actions (health checks, integrity checks, propagation initiation, and terminating ancestors) [30% gain]
- rebuild and reduce the AMI below Ubuntu minimal to fit in 2GiB EBS volumes (reduced cost and increased speed by also bundling the glider daemon and boto3 SDK in the AMI) [30% gain]
- switched from AWS CLI to boto3 SDK [5-10% gain]
- switched from CloudFormation creation stacks to using EC2 API directly with LaunchTemplate [under 5% gain total, surprisingly, but the time to initial instance startup is faster so I might be able to do better somewhere here]
- WIP: further refactoring of the daemon propagation steps especially around initial health/integrity checks
I still think I'm missing something major that's extending propagation times, despite benchmarking phases through several trials
I also optimized for cost (reduced DDB calls, abandoned KMS, reduced log & audit retention to the latest run, etc), and it's about a penny for a 10 generation run (and it scales sublinearly, mostly, since the instances are terminated afterwards)

The Hershey's box is even worse: 10 Reese's, 7 milk chocolate bars, 7 milk chocolate bars with almonds, and 6 Kit-Kats.
Would it really cut into their profits so much to create boxes that are more evenly split among the flavors?
