I wonder if you would have linked this credits page had you been assigned the title "BREAST EXAMINER" OR "NUDE SCENES" like some others, haha

Subsidies are paid out of tax dollars. Surely you're not arguing that Amazon's 2.5 billion investment will go straight back to the city's coffers? It would generate property tax (if not abated) and income tax for the workers

I actually went to a school corporation where this happened, about 20 years ago. I was in high school. School started at 7:38. We got up around 5:30, boarded the bus at 6:05, arrived to school at 7:00. Elementary school started at 8:55, wit

Entitlement is receiving a brand new mower + fuel, in an area in need of its services and with residents having funds available to pay for its services, and thinking that your "hard work" is the only thing required to have realize

How about recreating a report to feed into a legacy system from an ERP installation with 5,000 tables and 12,000 stored procedures - none of which you're allowed to modify or face losing support?

How complicated/extensive was this procedure? I have requested prices for many procedures and only once have I received that information (and like I said in another comment, I received a discount for paying it in full at the time of se

Be careful. I did this exact thing with my first child, but they billed my insurance company for the 35% they discounted, anyway. After something like 50 phone calls and hours and hours on the phone with people who said they would "tak

Is Hetzner not known to generally be a "bad" host? I have suffered so much abuse at the hands of their clients (DOS attacks, aggressive spidering/SQL Injection probing) that I've blocked their entire IP space on the majo

Male with the most common American male name from 1950-2000 here (and top 5 for the last 100 years or more). I don't even hear my name when spoken in public, I only hear familiar voices or my last name (I usually give a fake name when

B2 has 2 charges: $/GB to store the data, and $/GB to download it (uploading to both is free) Glacier has 3 charges: $/GB to store the data, $/GB to retrieve the data from "cold" storage, and $/GB to downl

I'm trying to use the nomenclature from the Glacier pricing page, where "transfer" is the verb to reference the cost per GB downloading the data from the remote provider. Glacier has an additional "retrieval" cost p

Looks like this one is specifically for the Fremont 2 data center (though like you said, I imagine it's possible elsewhere or comparable). Thanks!

Curious - at what POP have you been quoted $400/month for a gigabit connection from HE?

by DisposableMike 9y ago
I'm fairly certain that the calculator you linked is incorrect. Unless I'm not understanding the Glacier pricing page, it should cost at most $1,240 to store 10TB for 30 days and then re-retrieve over the internet (even at the exp

We haven't "forgotten" how to do anything. We just let ourselves (collectively) become OK with projects that extraordinarily long, slow, and expensive, and the contractors aren't going to be the ones to force positive ch

I love Alpha King (and it's from my home state), but it's an American Pale Ale. Not the same as an (IPA) India Pale Ale, and certainly not the same as a double IPA.

This write-up is missing a critical detail - the article states "Wang and Yao have bioengineered a bacteria to break down plastic faster than the 500-to-1,000-years it takes for plastic to breakdown in a typical landfill." But - h

Despite a fairly large number of users on XP still (2.5% of total users on some sites I manage), I'll give you that it works on non-obsolete OS browsers. However, those are not the only pieces in the world of security. Java, for exampl

A single population group (South Korean women) with an average height increase of 20.2cm over 100 years is absolutely astounding (that's 8 inches for those of you using freedom units). That signifies an enormous improvement in nutritio

I completely agree that repeated attempts to ask out a woman who is clearly not interested in you can come across as creepy, and I'm not really insinuating that it's not a problem. People that do that will earn their association w

Unless your first hand account involves an actual rape, please leave the term 'rape culture' to situations involving actual rape. The linked story certainly didn't invoke any mentions of rapes occurring - why dilute a real pr

You cannot seriously be inferring that women in technology deserve such light treatment that an extremely light pun made via a framework reference is the same as painting the entire tech industry as having a "NO FATTIES" attitude. The tech

How can you possibly justify your statement that the leaders of China don't want to be thought of as a 'world leader'? Practically every action within the last 10+ years has had that express purpose. What do you call the Beijing Olympics? T

I have fond memories of "hacking" in high school. The school system I went to used Deep Freeze to protect their Win98 computers. You could format the hard drive, change all of the settings, etc, and upon reboot, the image would return, unch

Brainfuck? Erlang? Coldfusion? Visual Basic (6/.NET)? Those are just a couple right off the top of my head. It is quite cool, though, to see a common problem solved in such a wide variety of languages. s/all languages/lots of languages/g
