No idea. It might just be they are lower priced than other places that attracts miscreants wanting domains in bulk.

The answer to this might be more application specific accelerators and 3D stacking. You can't afford to have all of a chip switched on at once because of the power consumption and dissipation, so you build more optimised accelerators a

This one annoys me. Yes technically you're out of contract when they raise the price, but usually they only give you 30 days to move which isn't always enough to organise an alternative to avoid loss of service. They imply that th

It's not a new problem. There was an HN article I was reading about someone facing police audio tape evidence and their defence lawyer said it must have been edited to make their client look guilty. The prosecution proved the recording

Not a DNS expert but I believe you can get regularly updated copies of zone files from ICANN. To get domains not under their observation I expect you can go out and make deals with registrars on an individual basis. For an individual or sma

Good. I hope their alternative journal takes off. Scientists want to be published in these journals for the prestige that it brings. Hopefully a cost recovery priced journal with high standards of peer review can be successful in attracting

Probably watching for new DNS entries gets you most of the way there. When you fire up any new website you usually get a pile of visits from mysterious cloud boxes in the first 24 hours before you are listed on any search engine. I assume t

What percentage of people immediately bounce off your site as soon an aggravating interruption like this appears? I know I do. Have you measured if customers stay longer if you don't display the interruption? Of that 6% how many actual

I think you're right, there is a danger of a revisionist aspect due to the fact that so many people have iPhones in their pockets. We might end up with "Steve Jobs invented the personal computer" as the layman's opinion

You're being aggressive and rude now, so I think this will be my last reply on this subject. As to "benefits nobody", that's clearly wrong. I have clearly stated what the issues are and other people on this thread have r

Flexibility and pay-as-you-go has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the capability to set an account hard cost limit. If AWS wanted to add such a feature they could do. They obviously don't for their own commercial reasons. It i

There were several in the UK briefly. The idea was you'd pick up your home cordless landline phone and take it with you, then you could make a call anywhere you saw a "phone zone" sign. Analogue mobile killed it pretty fast a

They generally had traders bribing their way backwards and forwards to China all the time and at least a steady trickle of foreign tourists, so it seemed unlikely they wouldn't get it. But it does say in the article they had shut their

The blank cheque billing is one of the reasons I don't use AWS for any personal project either i.e. they do not allow you to set a hard account cost limit. The billing approach makes AWS scary to learn on your own time as you don'

I bought a smart tumble drier but never connected it. For me it was a combination of factors. The smarts doesn't really do a lot for me. My house isn't that big, I can hear when it's done because it stops rumbling in the dist

The incumbent cable provider (Virgin Media) offers gigabit to virtually every property they serve, which is something like 15 million homes. That's maybe about 60% of total UK properties. I can already get VM gigabit I just don't

I mainly buy books online and I don't really actively look at the page count before I buy a book. I can see that if you buy a book in a store you get a sense of the page count from the thickness and maybe some people dislike long books

Onshoring is really directed at goods that some other country might use an economic weapon by restricting supply. 99% of stuff doesn't fall into this category. No one cares if coffee mugs and pens are made in China. So you wont see ris

They said the attacker was passing through the client's user agent. If they get a user agent that is GoogleBot, they could check if the requesting IP is actually a valid Google data centre (there is a published list of IPs). If the IP

Yeah wind is going well these days. The annual average is around 30%. I've seen it at 60% on a good day.

There's several places where you can see the UK's power generation live. Right this second we're running on 31% wind power. We're just rolling into peak power usage times so probably different when you click the link. h

Yep and overpriced travel insurance too. It wasn't just the bureaucratic restrictions they were relying on. The plan was the travel agents would do high pressure upselling to claw back the cost but the public didn't bite in suffic

I don't think it's so clear cut. They have to pay to compress it. If the data the customer stores is short lived it may not be worth it to them. They don't know if the customer already compressed it so they might be wasting t

There's a balance between compression ratio and CPU utilisation. Zstd is several times faster at compressing than gzip to produce a file of similar size (it's good, give it a try if you haven't already). I guess he means by u
