I used incognito mode and the top hit was this page, so I guess Y Combinator will be ruling the USA shortly.

It's hard to think of a situation where a new startup would use Oracle; it's a massive cost compared to alternatives and while it does offer some advantages over other DB choices those advantages are not very compelling for most u

There's no reasons you can't put a voltage boost circuit into a device other than it would be cheaper not to and consumers will blame the batteries, not your device, if you don't. (also, if your device functions fine with low

Doesn't PayPal get around that by charging your credit card to buy credit on Paypal, which is then used to purchase the item you want? Or do they only claim that when it is convenient to do so.

For me the big problem isn't battery life, it's cats deciding to knock the mouse onto the floor and hide it. A wired mouse makes this very easy to fix!

There are two parts to being lucky: 1) What sort of luck comes your way? 2) Are you able to take advantage of the good luck and minimize the effects of bad luck? If i'd had the exact same lucky breaks as Elon Musk I would not have been

This varies by country. In Australia if I want a gun I need to have a firearms license, I have to register every weapon I own and store them in an safe that meets certain minimum requirements (separate ammunition, requires key and combinat

Or unlimited bandwidth. There's no way I'd run open WiFi in Australia because I only have a finite amount of downloading I can do, and I pay for the amount I expect to use myself so can't afford other people leeching off my

I have trouble finding sympathy for someone who over-leveraged to buy a billion dollars worth of taxi medallions on the assumption they would only ever go up in value.

In general the big PC makers will have all their hardware drivers available for download, and if you need a specific driver you can just add it to your base image (assuming it's not already handled for you by Windows updates) It's

Do US dealers not display starting prices on the vehicle? The standard way of doing things in Australia is every car has a clearly marked price and then you see how much you can knock that down in negotiations, or you could just pay that l

At the time it was a heavy music player with an annoying interface that only worked for mac users and was useless forever if you dropped it and the hard drive broke. They fixed all those problems later versions, but the initial device was u

The F-35 started life in 1996 with the Joint Strike Fighter Program. That's almost 2 decades ago, and long before the idea of using drones instead of humans was feasible. That doesn't mean that the F35 program shouldn't be s

Availability zones are randomized per accounts; my us-east-1a might be the same as your us-east-1b. This is presumably done to stop everyone putting things into the same AZ by just choosing the first one in the list. There is some more deta

I'm curious to see what (if anything) these batteries will do for users that isn't already handled by a UPS. Not that a cheaper, more energy dense UPS isn't already a win but the article keeps focusing on the fact that the pr

If you accelerate by 1MPH you're not in the same orbit anymore. It's not like driving on earth, where you can go faster along the same path by pushing the accelerator down; the speed you're moving at is a component of your o

You can't just "float over" to another point along your orbit; to move the forward Legrange point you would have to slow down, causing you to drop into a lower orbit which moves around the sun quicker, then speed up to a larg

Why would it be a problem if the prices of taxi medallions drops? People who invested in them will lose money but I don't see how that is a problem for anyone else.

Why isn't the persistent data put onto an EBS volume? If ephemeral storage is a drive local to the virtual machine's host (which I think is the case) then having a cool down period would mean holding the hardware that used to be

It's not even a matter of raw volume. The system I'm looking after sends just short of a thousand external emails a day but none of those are marketing or email blasts; it's all people mailing other people and reports being

Why can't they tell the tennet to move out? In Australia residential leases have a fixed term (usually 12 months) and after that become month-to-month, and the owner can ask you to leave with 90 days notice when you're not under

In my limited experience with collectable card games (not magic) it was common to see reprints with a different color border. These cards were otherwise identical to the originals and played exactly the same, but to a collector they were w
