We still use it, though we are phasing it out. In general, its solid for its use cases, but you need to understand what its good at. Its pretty great for small apps, prototyping, hobby projects, etc. There are a few things we learned that I

If you're already deployed inside Kubernetes or similar, Vault is Just Another Pod that is running, with HA and everything. You might not even need to add to your resource pool that is already provisioned. As for your backend, S3 is a

Depends on how many secrets you're storing. You can also back Vault with something other than Consul. You can back it with DynamoDB, which would be much cheaper than managing your own Consul cluster. You can even back it with S3, which

Not really. Nicotine wears off very quickly. While it can remain detectable in your system for days, the feeling it gives only persists for 10-15 minutes after inhale, if that. Varying the dosage only really affects the intensity, not durat

One problem I think the industry has right now is the "gas station disposable" ecigs, like Blu, Vuse, Juul pods, etc. These things have massive amounts of nicotine, sometimes as high as 30mg/ml which puts the hit right up t

That is generally true; the nicotine in e-liquid is commonly extracted from tobacco. But at the point it is mixed into an e-liquid, assuming we're talking about a reputable organization, it is a completely pure nicotine solution. The o

Just to be very clear on your use of language: Vaping has nothing to do with tobacco. Period. Calling "vape" a tobacco product is equivalent to calling coca-cola a "coffee product". They essentially share a single acti

I think that's the mistake Ballmer made with Windows Phone. He and the other leadership saw the rise of the smartphone and thought "that's the future". The reality is more nuanced; the smartphone created a new market,

I think its impossible to understate how much damage Ballmer did to Microsoft. That being said: I think Microsoft is in a fantastic position right now under Satya. Windows isn't going anywhere, and they're accepting the reality th

AWS is in a really weird place right now. They're powerful and have a bright future, obviously. But it feels like its already become a legacy platform in the cloud world. Look at what they've released in the past two years... thei

Would you buy them without the autopilot and electric drivetrain? If you want an EV today, that makes complete sense. They're the best, among the only on the market. In three years, that won't be the case, and you'll probably

Momentum. Tesla got an early start. A decade means nothing. Ford was founded 115 years ago. Here's the problem. Tesla's cars have two key things that make them competitively interesting: Autopilot and their electric drivetrain. Ta

While this is more of an interesting fact than anything: The Nintendo Switch website [1] does not advertise that the Switch has a USB-C port. It has HDMI and USB 2.0 on the dock... but no USB-C anywhere. [1] https://www.nintendo.

Google Drive offers unlimited storage for domains, starting at $10/mo. Nothing else competes with that.

by 013a 9y ago
Cost is probably prohibitive if you're storing/sharing lots of large files, like videos. Very few file sharing sites could store terabytes of files at a cost as low as Google.

That's true. But there are two big reasons why we hold governments to those standards: they hold significant lethal power in enforcing their policies, and they have no competition in their domain. Corporations absolutely quality for on

I agree. The biggest annoyance with Blue Apron is planning your deliveries. There might be a week you were planning to skip, for cost reasons or "too busy to even cook" reasons, but you forget until its too late. Or, you might for

I don't think the environment will stay like this for long. Investors in MoviePass will likely not make their money back. Or maybe they'll break even on a sale of assets to some major theater chain, if everyone involved is smart.

Github costs $7/mo. Is it more economical than that? Can you seriously say that you can achieve higher cross-region redundancy, for both your instances and storage, than Github can, at a price less than $7/mo? The only way I can t

How do you access these VPS's? Load balancer? You'll need a globally distributed load balancer as well. DO LBs only have availability tolerance cross-AZ, not cross-Region, and are $20/mo. You might need a GCP Global Load Bala

There are ways to engineer on AWS to basically never go down barring massive, systemic, cross-region failure. Granted, there's no economical way you could self-host a Gittea instance to avoid this.

My guess: Its an enterprise product, so they want to help ease that transition and encourage enterprise users to adopt it. I imagine there will come a day when the "Hangouts" brand disappears, from both Meet and Chat.

Are there any examples of core G-Suite products Google has deprecated? I can't think of any. Reminder that "Core G-Suite" is an official designation, not something I just made up. Right now, their Core G-Suite products are: G
